Already posted this in Q & A but thought I'd post it here too so more people will see it...
Hey guys, got a problem here that hopefully someone could help me with, I have searched through the forum and I've not seen any similar issues posted by anyone else.
My phone is the Touch HD, running the stock ROM from when I first got it out of the box.
Basically I can not get into messaging at all, if I try to access 'Messaging' or 'Mail' through Touch Flo 3D then Touch Flo just resets itself and if I go to 'Start > Programs > Messaging' then nothing happens when I click on the icon.
The most recent applications I have installed are the new Opera beta, Resco Radio and a dog whistle application, I have since uninstalled all these thinking that would fix the problem but it's not.
I phoned HTC today and they said to clear storage on the phone which then obviously does a hard reset.
I don't mind doing this but it's obviously a pain to go through and backup all my data, I'm just trying to find a way to fix my problem without doing a hard reset first.
Saying that though the device has also been running a bit slow/sluggish over the past couple of months and if I am going to do a hard reset then I might just start using a custom ROM.
Hope someone can help.
Sounds like you answered your own question ha ha go ahead FLASH

I did a few updates on my Exec yesterday, dont think this problem existed prior to this, but dont really want to hard reset to get it back to how it was.
I basically go into any SMS or Email, and it starts 1 page down from the top (with SMS just showing white background) which I then have to scroll up to be able to read the start of it.
Ive done LOTS of searching, and found a few people have had this problem also, but couldn't find a solution.
Anyone got any ideas I can try?
Cheers
Big thanks to 'MikeChannon'
I thought it may be linked to the 'tab' not working either. So I turned off 'smoothscrolling' within PIE and that has cured it.
I think I tried posting this in one of dcd's rom threads but it got lost in the thousands of posts so I figured I would pull it out into a main thread...
What is up with WM closing out (crashing) background apps once you launch new ones? it's supposed to keep this stuff opened until you close it! Even if I have only 1 app opened, say Resco Pocket Radio.. and I try to go into a text message.. it will crash Resco... or if I have a PIE window open and I switch to a file browser it will crash PIE...
Is this a wm thing... wm6.1 thing or... dcd thing... or what?
I would really think this has been addressed before but I can't seem to find anything through search...
thanks
Are you using HTC X-Button or QuickMenu that may be closing your apps? Jus a thought
no htc x-button but I am using quickmenu... but that is only supposed to close the apps when u click the X in the corner... apps are closing by just launching from a notification... hard button.. or other launch method
Havn't seen that before... the only thing i can think of is double check quickmenu settings or try a hard reset, or maybe even cook a new rom. One time with a particular custom rom my text messages never made a sound -- but every other sound worked. I cook a new rom and it fixed it
i guess if no one else sees this problem it has to be something I have loaded on my device... im going to start removing things to see if i can determine the culprit... im starting with quickmenu
wow i dont think I've ever used regular start menu before but isn't it supposed to show apps that are currently loaded in memory? mine seems to be showing a list of last used apps... has like 10 things in there then program/settings...
not to be mistaken with frequenters (set in settings->menu), I have that list empty... strange!

I'm having a problem with PIE. I'll open my text messages, then go back to PIE only to have it re-open back on the homepage. It is very annoying when I'm in the middle of something and just wanna respond to a text message.
I noticed it has to do with apps that are active on the broadband network, which leads me to believe it was radio-related...
I went back to 1.4 & 1.7.0 and no crashes or anything... starting to think this combo is more stable anyways. new radios just don't seem to work all that well on verizon, at least in my experience
Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy
Hi
Have installed Cookies Home tab editor and xthack, all running fine execpt now can't open email with double tap from the slider view - anyone have any idea how to fix this???
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem..
Try this: press on/off button until u get Lock device, lock device, then unlock and try to open email.. ti works for me, but this is a stupid solution for a major problem.. and I don't think it is related to home tab editor or any program..
Hi,
Being new here, I have found this thread about the same problem I have.
Anyone got a solution for this or a registry tweak?
Initially, I was relating this problem to recently installed Dutty's TM, since I haven't immediately lost tap-to-open function in an e-mail preview slider upon installing Cookie Home Plugin.
Help much appreciated,
Alex

This probably has happened to me twice since I got the phone on 3/24. What I just do is reboot the phone and problem fixed!
had this problem with some custom roms but since have been using the extreme series i have not had the problem. the unlock trick did not resolve the issue for me. also use mtty when flashing a new rom, this possibly could have caused the problem for me.

Happened to me also the same way before. But this is something different.
At first it stopped functioning only on one mail account and noticed that somehow it lost the saved password on that account. After repairing that, temporarily, it came back to normal again but after couple of days lost this function completely on all mail accounts.
Plus, in start menu when tapping E-mail it opens FlexMail instead of standard built-in mail account list.
Really cannot address the source of the problem and trying to avoid starting all over with reinstalling after desperate measures.
This is the first serious problem I came to from last December when I got the phone.
Alex
Using the lock/unlock sequence, via a long press on the end call button, works for me. Not really satisfactory. The problem has started only since I recently had to hard reset my device and reinstall all the software.
Hey gang,
I need a reset app just like the one Artemis bundles on his ROM. I switched roms recently and all the reset apps I've tried lately either display some kind of screen giving you various options or ask you if you are sure you want to reset.
I prefered the old one that was just an icon and the phone just resets when touched no questions asked and no pop up boxes.
Can anyone help?
