Home Screen will only show on sync - HTC Typhoon

So I am not sure what I have managed to do to my phone, but if I reboot it I get the mornal splach screens but when it finishes the boot, iget the start button and the Contacts and that is it. I don't see a home screen at all. I have found if I sync the phone with my PC the screen comes back on tis own and then as long as I do not reboot it, the screen stays. Also it seems to let me get calls in fine and make calls and the comm manager shows up as for the contacts. if I press the start button though it does nothing. Does anyone have any idea on this?
My phone is the Audiovox SMT5600 I upgraded it to WM6, and this all seemed to start after I uninstalled the google Search. I tried reinstalling it but it is still the same thing.

Can't get the phone function to work.

I got my Exec yesterday and I've only got the one problem. For the first two hours or so, I could get the phone function to work. Either by going through the 'Start' menu or just by pressing the green call button.
I've woken up this morning and although I can press the green buttons or the option on the start menu, it'll be beep but that's all it will do, it'll just carry on with what it is doing.
Anyone else had this problem or got ay suggestions?
I had this problem when I ended the phone application in Task Manager. A soft reset fixed it for me.

PLEASE HELP SOMEBODY!!!! HTC Home plugin caused backlight problem.

I installed the HTC.Kaizer.Home.Plugin.with.Tabsetting.schen on my Alltel PPC6800. After setting up the weather tab for my city, setting up the pictures in the favorites tab, I was toying around in the launcher tab to see what the different icons did. When I tapped the 3rd one from the left (appears to be the one that adjusts the backlight) it turned off the backlight on my phone!!
I've tried everything I can think of to turn it back on with no luck. I tried pressing the power button, every other button on the thing, soft resetting it, and pulling the battery for as much as an hour and then restarting it. NO LUCK!! The phone appears to be working since I can press the phone button twice and call the last number called. I just can't see the screen.
WHAT DO I DO!!!! Is there anyway to hard reset it without going into settings and clearing the memory? Or is there some shortcut to turn on the backlight?
Oh, and BTW, it still syncs with my PC. (Again, I just can't see the screen!) So is there anyway to make any needed changes, hard reset, or anything else via active sync?
Sorry for such a retarded first post but I am at total loss here. I've searched and haven't found anyone having had anything similar to this problem. At least I haven't found it. Apparently I'm not as smart as I thought I was.
Much thanks in advance for any help provided!! I really depend on my phone!!
ActiveSync Remote Display. You sync your phone with the computer, run ActiveSync Remote Display on the computer, and it will display the contents of the screen. It's how a lot of people get screenshots of what is on their phone. Special installation instructions for WM6.

You need to hit the same backlight button again. That will toggle through several levels of back lighting, one of which is off.

hd2 freezes randomly with cht

I got my HD2 in hong kong:
manila:1.0.19211620.0
rom:1.72.831.1 (82124) WWE
OS: 5.2.21869 (2.1869.5.0.082)
so after installing the cab i noticed that everytime i tried to put the music player on the first homepage above the main page, i would encounter a manila problem and then the top left of my screeen would be replaced by a white box. thereafter, the music player and white box would be stuck on the screen even if i change homepage tabs.
but my main problem is that the phone will always freeze very frequently. It happens a lot after i lock my screen. I will press a hardware button and the buttons will light up but the screen will take a while to turn on (if it even ends up turning on). And even if it does, all i see sometimes is the notification bar at the top of the screen where the battery, reception and wifi info is. Sometimes i can click the start menu key or the screen key and access the start menu but not always.
another problem is that somtimes when pressing a key after hte phone has been locked and screen turned off, it will reappear at the last screen i was after before locking the phone. it may then suddenly go to the lock screen, or just freeze there.
another problem i have is that after soft resetting, it takes a REALLY long time to "load htc sense". sometimes the text telling me its loading will disappear for seconds and reappear. i have had a point where sense just refused to load so i had to reinstall the cab. luckily for me at the time i was still able to access the start menu.
also, sometimes when i'm just using my phone in general, the screen will freeze and then the phone will go back to the "loading htc sense" page. For the most part, htc sense does load in this situation
now the phone runs very slowly and glitches between previously viewed pages. the camcorder barely runs..
it seems that many things trigger the phone to freeze but its always the same things that do.
i would appreciate any help from the developers or anything with experiences that are like mine.
i know my manila version is off but i asked someone in a different thread and he said that my manila version should be compatable.. if it is not, i guess i have no choice but to uninstall it.. shame
if so, could someone tell me how to uninstall? thanks

[Q] Problems starting call or hanging up

Hi,
I wonder if anyone is having the same problem or (better yet) found a solution.
My HD2 sometimes doesn't start a phone call or does not hang up.
Problem with starting the call exists at all areas where a call can be initiated : favorites, in the contacts list and also in the phone app (where you enter the phone number and press talk). You click on the phone number or on the icon of the person and nothing happens. When you click the green talk button you see that it is clicked and the phone app hangs. The phone does not freeze. You can navigate to other areas in the phone.
Hang up problem is similar. You click the red button and nothing happens. You can navigate to other apps in the phone but the line remains open. Also the 'real' button on the bottom right side of the phone does not work. Only way to end the call is remove the battery or shut down the HD2.
This might be related to :
- active sync : I have the impression that these problems do not occur if I stop active sync first in the task manager
- I regulary get repllog.exe errors on my phone. I know these're related to active sync as well. Just don't get what causes them to occur.
Activesync is sheduled to run every 15mins and syncs my mail with the exchange server.
Thanks!
Really nobody else having the same problems..?

[Q] Screen dead/Flash

After doing a hard reset on my perfectly-functioning Pro the other day, the screen and buttons have now stopped working. My question is two-fold:
1. What the heck is going on?
The phone worked fine until I did the hard reset. Now, when I do a hard reset, everything appears to work correctly through the screen-alignment. The screen responds properly at that stage. Immediately afterward, the normal Today screen pops up for a split second. After that, the "Treo Customization" screen comes up, and that's where it all goes to hell. After the "Treo Customization" runs its course, the phone says "tap screen to reset." After tapping the screen, the phone responds and resets itself.
After that, a blank today screen appears. The tool bar on top is there and the background is there, but that's it. The screen and buttons are unresponsive except to brighten the screen after it periodically dims. Several other functions continue to work. I can activate wifi via the side button. The top button turns off the screen. Strangely enough, the QWERTY keyboard is completely unresponsive, except that the search button works (alt button and magnifying glass).
Does this sound like a hardware problem? Could it be fixed with a flash and new rom?
2. I tried to flash the phone and install a new rom to see if that would help, but I was unsuccessful for the following reasons: 1) When I run PANTHER_CDMA_HSPL_V101, the bootloader screen appears, but immediately upon that occurring, my sync connection disappears, so I can't proceed through my computer. 2) I can't run the manual flash program (SSPL-Manual-PantherCDMA) because I have no functioning controls on the phone itself.
Any ideas? Is there any way to achieve a flash on an unresponsive phone, or should I start shopping?
Thanks!
Mark Pemberton
