A few days ago my device started acting way too slow. Then it was unable to perform the most simple task. I flashed it again (Touch Essential 3.5 by that time), and it returned to behave as usual.
The problem started after setting partnership, when I tried to sync calendar. Everything else sync without problem, but calendar synchronization never ended and forced me to stop it manually. After that, the unit was unable to start so only solution was to perform a hard reset and reflash it.
I did that 2 or 3 times. I even changed the ROM, but I'm still unable to sync calendar (which is lame because I REALLY need it !).
Any suggestion or idea ? An HTC Touch without calendar is like having a slow Ipod.
Thanks in advance,
G.
I also tried without SD. It worked for a few minutes (I've got around 1000 appointments, may be a bit less), but then again, it stucked and died, forcing me to hard reset.
I'm thinking about buying another phone, I'm devastated...
Still waiting for your help, guys. You're my only hope.

After shifting the location of my PC and plugging everything back in ActiveSync has stopped detecting my i-mate.
Things I have tried so far:
a) been through the steps of the troubleshooter
b) removed ActiveSync 3.7 and installed 3.7.1
c) did virgin install of AS 3.7.1 on different PC
All with no luck. AS resolutely refuses to detect my device. What can have gone wrong? Heeeeelp!
Do a soft reset in the device and reboot the pc, then try the hot synch again. It should work.
Should it not, here is the place to find out other options:

Thanks, but tried all to no avail - getting quite depressed now! I had a quick look at your link but no immediate solution seemingly.
Happy New Year!
Well, I've just tried installing ActiveSync 3.7.1 on a third PC - still no luck. I'm thinking that maybe the problem lies with the device? Maybe I've killed a registry entry whilst being over zealous with something. Does anyone know what the registry entries are in case one has gone walkabout.
Otherwise looking at hard reset and if that doesn't cure problem I've got a very expensive phone!
Thanks
i've had several times that the xda was charching in the craddle,
& i got a removable usb disc in windows, that activesync didn't connect. What worked for me was play a little with the usb-connector in the PC or change it from usbport, so in my case it was some kind of bad contact,
You've probably checked this but I'm only trying to help:
From activesync go to tools/options/options and under 'When cradled' check USB is selected for sync connection.
Sync Problems
I had the same problems with ROM 1.03. I backed up, did a COLD BOOT then tried activesync, it worked. Then I did a restore and it still worked. I did notice one thing, I was playing with the notifications. I deleted some that I thought were redundant. Things wern't running well after I did that including the sync. After I restored, I didn't mess with the notifications except with the tool from ScaryBear.
Hope this helps,
Brandon
Brandon: Maybe you've given me the answer, thanks. It is entirely possible that I got overzealous with an excellent little program called Remover. I, too, have the ScaryBear notifications program but it seemed to leave a lot of notifications behind, so........
I'm just girding myself for a hard reset and then I will, as you say, leave the queue alone.
Plum: Thanks but yes, I had tried that. Also, selecting a baud rate and then selecting USB again to 'refresh' it.
Hi guys,
I've run into a really weird problem with my magician.
Today I was in the middle of a call when I plugged the USB cable into the phone. Probably with too many programs running at the same time, as I plugged the cable in the phone hang. So I restarted the phone.
As soon as I restarted the phone, a whole bunch of reminders from last year popped up ... took a while to dimiss them all. Afterwards I noticed the clock has been running fast.
By clock, I'm not talking about the CPU clock, but the actual clock on the phone. It runs ~ 28% faster, so every hour I am like 18 min fast.
I tried resetting the device several time and it didn't fix the problem. The only program I've recently installed is Webis Mail ... but I don't think a mail program would screwup the clock.
Has anybody run into a similar problem? I hope it's SW related and not HW related.
Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!
Anyone?
If I can't fix this clock problem, then I pretty much have to replace my phone. Having an inaccurate clock is ok for a regular phone, but for a PDA phone if my clock is 15 min too fast every hour, then it's pretty useless.
As a workaround, is there anyway I can get the time from my service provider? The standard imate ROM doesn't seem to support that option.
Any help is appreciated!
Have you tried a Hard reset, had this a few months ago and this was the only way to stop it.
Thanks! Yes hard reset and it did the trick. Still not sure what it was, maybe some of the registries got corrupted, but after the hard reset the clock's normal again. I restored a recent backup on to the phone and now it's working fine.
got a htc phone and my phone keeps freezeing i need to take the battery out then put it bk in to get my phone it keeps happening alot. took it to a shop and they say they reflashed but it didnt work any body got any ideas thanks
First of all, while the phone is working.. BACKUP all data.
Then try this...
Hardreset (I don't see any other solution).. then RESTORE data.
If the above post doesn't work, then maybe you should have that unit replaced while it's still under warranty (I assume)...
I also experienced the same a while ago. All of a sudden, after 2 weeks of using, it hung. The only thing I did was having it a day connected to the internet and loading 150 emails into the newly created account. I experienced a slower operating system, though, and the hanging of the Jade could be linked to this full inbox.
Btw. no additional software installed or tweaks. At that time, I only had NoData installed and TomTom.
For some reason, when the backlight went off, the wake up hard button on the Jade didn't function either, so I had to take out the battery every time to make a call. Rediculous...
The solution for me was indeed to hard reset. Soft resets or configuration chagnes didn't work. After the hard reset, no problems anymore...
I have an 8525 and have been running CRC's 13.4 ROM fine for several months. Today, a strange problem developed: When I try to open ActiveSync on the device, the program opens but after about 1 second it immediately exits (I am unable to change any settings). Messaging (pocket Outlook) won't even open.
Everything was working fine yesterday, and I didn't install any new programs since then. I will probably do a hard reset to fix things, but I wondered if anyone has a solution that will not involve a hard reset. I looked on the web and XDA forums, but couldn't find anything.
Thank you.
I've started having this problem too, twice in a row, after a hard reset. My Activesync does exactly what you describe.
The first time it did it, I ended up having to do a hard reset and then everything was fine.
Now it's done it again 2 days afterwards... sounds like it's fk-ed...
Need Help ASAP!, I cant even slide to unlock when it first starts.
It has always been crashing, and i have disabled my emails, and hardly have any programs and still. After all the patches and updates no change!
tried soft reset, took the battery out 1000 times.
this has happened to me for the second time in 3 months.
I did a hard reset last time to fix the problem, but i have to much valuable info, new contacts, notes, sms etc....
Is there anything else i can do to fix this problem, without a hard reset!
I cant take this phone anymore, it is horrible!
unlikely that you can fix it without hard reseting in one form or another.
rather than worrying about fixing it, first look into backing up your stuff, and then start looking at the freezing problem.

I think its the rom problem... next time you may choose a rom carefully... How to select a rom is a tough work... You could try to backup your files first...
Do the hardware buttons work?
My phone froze but it was a broken touch screen, fixed under warranty.

I am sorry that you are having the problem.
But it is not the phone. That I can be sure.
If you have modified the phone in anyway, some where along the line, something has gone wrong.
I used to have to hard reset many times when i got my first Windows Mobile Phone ( 2nd Generation HTC Tilt ).
I then went to the HTC Pure, and now I have the HD2.
It is a learning curve when you start adding programs and tweaks.
It takes time, trial, and more time.
I can tell you that I had to hard reset the HD2 just once.
I have over 200 tweaks, registry changes, programs, etc. The phone works great.
I now have learned to back up the system and registry just in case.
And pick and choose programs carefully. Buy only the ones you need.
Dont give up on the phone. Good luck.

Is the phone stock, or have you made modifications? When on and connected with usb to a pc, does active sync start on the pc? you may have to hard reboot: read: always make backups to the sd card (PIM backup, sktools, sprite backup, etc.) of critical data as soon as it hits your phone. If you are miserable with what you have on your phone, change it. I fell in love (from hate) with my HD2 when MIRI_DINIK V 17.0 WWE gave it a new soul. good luck.
