My phone has been running fine for months, yet now all of a sudden whenever I try to launch an office mobile app, be it word, excel or powerpoint I see the title bar at the top of the screen, the main screen freezes on touchflo though - the device remains unresponsive (unless I tap start and goto today again) and the software hangs. It seriously takes a good 4 mins or so to start any office mobile app.
Now a few weeks before, Tomtom was doing the same thing - I simply put that down to it being a GPS app.
So has anyone expeienced this? Can anyone offer any help? I REALLY do not want to hard reset.
Did you installed the hotfix from HTC already, or tried a cooked rom?

I have installed the HTC hotfix and I have the original ROM running.
Its not so much the system freezes, its just any office mobile app takes forever to launch..

But as it was running quite well a while ago, it is a software issue at all. So I would suggest to perform a hard reset (or flash a cooked rom).
I actually fixed this,so will let you know the solution for future use..you will be surprised.
What was causing the major hanging was the fact that on Resco Explorer, in options, I had enabled the device to expose the NETWORK folder to other apps (as I have mapped several network drives through Resco), so on disabling this option, office mobile works just fine now and launches instantly! as does Tomtom now too!

Hi All,
My MDA Vario is resetting periodically when not in use.
Some times every 15 min some days once a day.
Hard rest did not solve the problem.
I think one of the application is the problem.

have seen that problem caused by skype
but nothing else that i know of.
I don’t have skype installed.
But I think you are right it has to do with GPRS/Network connection
Same for me - it happens frequently, it happened overnight twice last night for no obvious reason.
I don't have any of your softwares. i think it has to do with Win mobile 5 rather than with any of the additional softs that one might install. I don't have Skype either.
It has JUST started happening to me and this only since I installed a new Intellisync push email service.
Before this it had never reset.

if you don't mind me saying, try this instead

imo it is better, admintedly though i haven't used checkpoint for years.
try formatting your sd and reinstall everything. i solved the problem

Hard Reset, format and reinstall did not help..
it never happened while connected to the pc on active sync though... ONLY when disconnected from the pc while on an "on" or "off" position.
Has anybody got a clue?

same thing with my i-mate k-jam. however, when i had original i-mate ROM (1.1.9.3) it never happened. after about 2 weeks i did ROM update, but only OS ROM (qtek 1.6.7.1) and Radio ROM (1.12.10). from this point, my device used to reset itself once a day without any obvious reason. on last saturday i did update again, but this time using 'full' RUU from qtek with OS 1.6.7.1 and Radio 1.13.10. after that update (a week) self-reset happened only once.
after each update and hard-reset i install the same set of applications so i'm not sure if one of them is reason, but it may be...

This is a problem with the latest ROM notably 1.67.
I have 1.3.7 and happens sometimes.
I think it's something about the MiniSD.
Tried to pull out the SD and PDA doesn't reset.

Well... I have he same problem, but have this app comun too:
1Calc
TomTom
Resco Explorer
So I think must be one!
We have only 3 options now!
I have to reset mine, sometimes once a day, sometimes more often.
It's usually caused by me trying to use it while it's connected to my PC. It just hangs
My Installed Apps:
Holux GpsViewer
TomTom Navigator
TomTom Today
TomTom Contacts Navigation
TomTom ~ Bluetooth Support
ClearVue Tools
GPRS Monitor Tools
PHM Registy Editor
Microsoft .NET CF 2.0
Beamer Null Keyboard
TranCreative Magic Button
DJVW HTC Wizard Optimizer 1.0
Log resets?
Anyone got an application that can log uptime/resets?
I'd like to throw it on mine and not lose hours of my day watching for
something that shouldn't happen
My i-mate reset 2-3 times an hour
Going to try
x Removing the mini-SD RAM card I have
x Removing Skype
Adam
Its not Skype.
That was the first thing I removed.
Robin
I removed Skype and reinstalled the new low-CPU version and it seems to have helped _however_ there is a catch. I was beginning to receive notifications that related to WM5 not being able to launch Skype (periodically?) and since removing/reinstalling I've yet to receive such a message.
I think I remember reading somewhere about WM5 creating hundreds of spurious notification events (clearly a bug) - though I'm not sure if I suffer from this - must hunt this down!
Adam
I was having exactly the same problem, furthermore the device was growing slow ... I tried to install 'check notification' program (found it somewhere here) I then stated many duplicate events of sddaemon.exe (hundreds!). I Removed all those duplicates, and it speeded up everything and now I do not have that reboot problem anymore. Nevertheless, from time to time I clean the duplicated events which are still appearing... it's not that annoying but the problem is still here. Anyways, for me, I can affirm the reboot problem came form the miniSD for sure !
Hope it helps,
Cheers,
Hi all,
Been following this forum for a while now since the last few windows devices I've had...excellent advice and information!
The query is that now that I have a Tytn/Hermes etc, I wanted to get onto installing my "usual" applications that I've alwayshad.
SBP Weather
Resco: Explorer, Audio recorder, photoviewer, registry, today plug in (but only to show batterystatus as compact).
The delivery report patch by someone in here posted in the wizard forum
Ammar wireless addin to show status on desktop
I myself dont think this is a lot to install?
the phone is an orange M3100 unlocked with the Imate 1.20/1.07 firmware installed.
The issue is that after one of the above is installed, I get a lot of instability on the device
ITs to the point that I had to format the device on 3 occasions now and yesterday finally re-applied the firmware.
At the moment, its just got my contacts and calendar/tasks syncd with no addional software and its fine.
Has anyone got any of the above running without issues?
instability would be usually slowing down or crashing of the device.
I've also noticed that on Wed, I tried to take a pic of a box with stickers for work.
When two guys were holding the box, the cam took a pic without problems.
As soon as they put the box on the floor and I took the pic from birdseye, the cam would take a Black picture (cannot see anything).
after a while, the cam would crash and I have to soft reset to activate again
Take another pic from birdseye and same thing
I know there is a camera patch in the tmobile firmware, is it worth installing this or does the imate firmware have his already?
Thats it for me
Thanks
I'm using the M3100 with the Orange ROM and firmware:
Operator: 14.123.1.614
ROM Ver: 1.23.61.4
ROM Date: 07/13/03
Radio Ver: 1.06.00.00
Protocol Ver: 32.37.7010.01H
I don't have many stability issues at all. Mine is also unloacked so I guess it's not that.
EDIT:
Sorry I know this isn't much help to your question...
Gav.

I have the above programs installed and no instability, however, when using today plugins It tends to be slow and/or stop responding after a few hours of inactivity (mostly nights)
I use: resco explorer/reg explorer not the today plugin right now, and the wireless "on the today page" patch, and a calendar+ plugin.
and this combination works perfectly (no hanging or anything)
try not using today plugins (more than the "usual" ones) and see if it helps
Hi, I don't have an Orange, but I think it would be pretty safe to say none of the resco apps should be givin you any problems, I have the latest of all the resco apps installed, except the audio recorder, and I highly doubt any of your issues is coming from that, I had stayed away from SBP software, I seem to remember early issues with something related to the today stuff..possibly the weather, but I really can't say for sure.
At the moment I have 28 apps listed in the add/remove(not counting the resco today/addins), with no stability or lockup issues, but I only have one today plugin on, its the small todaytime written by someone here on the forum, forget who at the moment.
I'm not sure if your stability issues might be from the rom or not, I did notice on my camera the first 3rd and 6th picture didn't work, the files were real large and they wouldn't show in the viewer, but I just deleted them, and let the number grow, and it hasn't happened since.
Two apps I recommend for trouble shooting are SBP backup and SK tracker, I recently started usin these two, and haven't had any issues yet, where I had to use them..I make backups and snapshots often, but wished I had had them in the past before I tested software.
Hope some of my babbling might be of help.
The babbling does help
Thanks to all 3 of you
I'll give Resco another go but leave SBP out for now
I suppose one thing I missed out was that all those apps would be installed on the memory card rather than the phone memory... I wonder, especially with today screen apps, wouldthat be the cause.
I'll post if I have issues after Resco goes back in!
Cheers

Most today plugins must be installed in main memory.
I second that,
install the today plugins in main memory, and also if you are using flexmail install it on main memeory, otherwise you'll lose all settings in flexmail every time you restart
Hi, I'm using SPB Plus, Resco Explorer, SMSDR (Delivery Report patch), SPB Backup, SPB Insight, SPB Time, SPB diary & Phone Alarm .. All Ok. Running fine .. No noticable slow down on device (other than boot up time a bit longer)... So far so good ..
Ok re-flashed imate firmware
got resco audio, expl, reg, photo installed
got the resco batt mater on the desktop but no SBP
stable so far
hey,
i installed the today-plugin from the htc touch. after recognizing that the speed slowed down i uninstalled the plugin (sadly). after the uninstallation my system is still slow like hell - even after soft-reset. i think the plugin changed something in the registry.
is anyone having the same problem? is there a way to solve the problem without hard-reset?
I solved this problem by reinstalling the hole system
Its a common problem with the HTC Home plug-in. Unless the plug-in is built directly into the rom (B&B v3.7 for example) then it will always slow the device down. Even uninstalling doesn't fix it as it leaves some registry entries or something which slows the device down. AS the previous poster has said, hard resetting the device will fix this but its not ideal. If you do want this plug-in then the best way is to download a rom that has it 'cooked' in.
same problem here.
everything in my device was working super fast, until i installed the today-pluging from the htc touch. it slowed down to 50% or less!!
even uninstall didnt solve the problem, had to hard-reset too...
Any fixes?
Read the kaiser home plugin thread in the hermes mobile 6 forum - it has a Cab that installs the files into \htc rather than window - this seems to stop the slowdown. Better though is to use a rom with it cooked in. Sorry no link as i am on my device.
Okay, im just curious about this. I've read all over the net (and this forum also) that your X1 is bound to crash one way or another. Sometimes i read that people can have 2 or more crash everyday, which i think is quite strange.
My X1 fortunately never crash up on me. I surf the net, use wifi, listen to music, use the GPS via Garmin, chat on yahoo messenger and even watch a full length movie on it. Fortunately it just never crash on me. Not on a normal use anyway...
Speaking of which, i've tested my X1 also, to see until which point it might actually crash. I surf the net + Activate garmin + chat on yahoo + listen to music + occassional sms in between, and the phone is still doing fine.
It does get pretty laggy at times, but the point is it's still very usable.
here is all the apps that i've installed on my X1 (as in remove program thing):
Astraware bejeweled 2
Astraware Sudoku
Xperia Tweak
Garmin Mobile XT
Google Maps
HTC enlarge start menu
J.S Advanced config
Slick
.Net CF3.5
All the panels
the only bug that i have in my phone is the one where i cant add the speed dial. But this doesnt concern me because i just dont use speed dial anyway.
So im just curious, how does your X1 (if ever) crash up on you?
Oh and one more thing, im still using the R1A original ROM.
mine crashes whenever it sneaks out in the middle of the night and steals a car.
doesn't seem to have got the hang of cornering yet...
I have not updated to the latest ROM.
My X1 crashes when I leave it untouched for a period of time. The battery will be hot and no matter what button I press the screen just won't light up.
I'm trying to update to the latest official ROM now but I have no idea how to use the SEUS thing. -_-'
My R1A crashed about once to twice a day.
What I had installed is pretty much what you had plus TF3D HD as panel from itje, PlumSIP (Chinese input), SKTOOLS, SPB Shell.
It got a bit better when I switched to Daran's TF3D but that had problem of itself. And I started using SKtool's memory reclaim in the back.
Now I'm on R2A and its virtually crash free. I've yet to try TF3D as I'm waiting for a solid TF3D 2 solution as cab.
So al fingers are pointing to TF3D at the moment. Shame because besides being the best eye candy, I've also found it to be the most useful including SPB Shell
im on r2a. mine doesnt crash but hangs occasionally.
ironically its everytime when im showing it off to my frens. sometimes the screen just hangs.
wanted to show a video to my fren today when out of nowhere the video and all other videos cant be played. had to soft reset..

the million dolar question is, do you have TF3D installed on ur phone?
TBH, i'd love to get TF3D installed on my phone, but for some reason i just bound to know that it's gonna cause me problem anyway
Can we safely say that the crash free ROM is actually the official ROM now?
Or maybe someone else use cooked up ROM but still actually run the X1 crash free? leave your experience here...
Is it me or does the T-mobile Dash 3g randomly closes out of apps. I was in my Internet explorer and it juss closed out. It also does this when i recieve messages. Is it my setting or something because i cant uderstand whats doing this.
Mine too
I have the T Mobile Dash 3g unlocked with win 6.5, same thing started happening today...all apps closing after abiyt 10 seconds. Looking for the problem.
closing
this seems to be a win 6.5 issue, and possibly a problem with SPB software.
I foind this thread but there are others too:
I also found a reference to SK Tools which i also have installed. If I cant find a solution soon, I am going to reset the phone and start a clean slate
reset the phone
well i reinstalled win 6.5 and it was not so bad since i was near the beginning anyway and had all programs saved in one spot. I did not install SKTools this time, i did install SPB online, and so far so good, the apps are staying open.
BTW A GREAT free program is SMARTToolKit which will expand your soft keys and give you lots of quick options....works well.
Yup,it's not all apps, just seems to be IE only. And yes it wont stay open like all the other programs when phone goes to standby. Very annoying. FYI, I'm using 6.1
Dash 3G Apps minimizing
There are few threads on this issue. I have narrowed this down to some change in the registry. I will know which part of the reigstry shorty. After running one of many apps (SPB online, SPB radio, Wunder Radio, Pocket Tunes, SK Tools, even the native Bluetooth app) application windows will not stay open and apps minimze on their own after about 10 seconds. If i restore the registry the phone works fine again. Since this problem spans so many different apps and developers, it is a MS problem. MS may say it is the developers problem, either way someone needs to fix it./
