so i have been using my X1 for about 1 week now
i restarted the phone for a couple of occasion
and i used to see the Windows Mobile 6.1 loading screen just before we enter the today screen right..
usually during the Loading Screen of the WM 6.1, there shouldn't be a Start menu bar appearing right..
it should only appears when the WM 6.1 loading screen are finished and when we are on the today's screen, that is when the start menu bar appears
but idk, earlier today, i had to close my phone because the battery was low, and when i get back home, i start charging it, and then i turn my phone again.. and what i notice is that, the "start" menu now appears along with the loading screen of WM 6.1
is that normal.. or?
maybe this info will help, but i doubt it's the cause
i started using SKTools ( www.s-k-tools.com ) like around 3 days ago
and i do the Clean! and registry clean up.. never restarted my phone ever since 3 days ago.. but i dont think that is the cause for this?
i only want to think that perhaps, now my system are a bit lighter after i remove some useless junk using the SKTools, so the start menu bar loads faster.. hopefully that is the case?
but i doubt.. any help?
That is a problem? Please explain how?
yes, because if i remember correctly, the start menu never appears before on WM6.1 loading screen
im sure all of your X1 also have a full WM6.1 loading screen without a start menu bar on the top?
It is perfectly normal.
I really don't see the point in your question. Is your phone having an issue, a problem?
no.. nothing is wrong. but why was it not loaded in the WM screen before?
there must have been something to make the start menu appear faster, and i see this as not normal
that's all i wanted to know
thanks anyway for answering

What method of hard resetting did you try?
If hard reset does not work get to the bootloader screen (multicolored) by holding down camera button and preset reset button.
You can then reflash your rom - does not have to be activesynced to do this - as long as you have a small 'usb' on bottom left of bootloader screen when connected to pc it should work.
I guess this is the rom thats already on your device ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/o2/Xda_Minis_Upgrade_v2.21.4.101.exe
whats the boot loader screen, all the phone loads upto is the bit before windows mobile shows when you first turn it on

Turn phone off - then press camera button and hold - press power on button whilst still holding camera button. Bootloader screen should come up (multicolored)
right so far i can do all the stuff u said what do i do once i have got the usb bit in the bottom left hand corner

Just download the rom mentioned above - connect device to computer (does not have to activesynced) and run the rom intaller and the rom will install.

The rom install usually takes 10 mins or so - dont worry it usually stalls a while around the 70-80% mark a while - just wait and be patient until its 100%. It will return to factory condition so all your data will be lost i am afraid. If you have synced with outlook before your pim info can be restored from there.
i was only jsut settin it back up anyway and it didnt work just now the update but it dont the error revoery adn its working again done 75 so far
Just tried to upgrade my XDA mini to this new ROM (v2.21.4.101). Everything seemed to be going swimmingly - I installed the ROM and the thing booted up ok. I then did a soft reset before all the o2 stuff installed. I then went to do a restore (having previously backed up using spb backup) and it almost completed but then the mini s rebooted itself again.
Ever since, it will only get as far as a page which has most of the bar at the top of the screen (the signal strength icon, battery strength and GPRS indicator are all there), but not the start button. Underneath that is just a blue screen with the Windows Mobile logo. The backlight will come on if I press any of the buttons but otherwise it is not responding.
I've tried holding down the camera button and pressing the on/off button and also camera button and the reset button, but neither of them seem to do anything.
I've tried reinstalling the rom from the PC but it says it can't find my device.
Rather bizarrely, if I call myself from another phone, the device rings and says incoming call, so the thing obviously isn't totally dead.
What can I do to sort this out?
Cheers!
When i first turn on the phone, and hit the start menu in top left, it's fine, second time I hit it, a bunch of programs show like calculator 6 times settings a bunch, like a history of what I've gone to. Third time, everything is white and if I scroll down using joystick it turns into color, but still very annoying.
Anyone know what's causing the problem?
Thanks
edit: not just when i turn on the phone, it happens always then, but not always during regular running
when did u get your titan are you turning the phone off with the power button or soft resetting. if your not using the soft reset button try that
I got it back in november, it's been good up until about a week ago... and yes I've been soft resetting
I had the same exact problem. I was running ROM 3.16. For the life of me I couldn't figure out why it was happening. I installed the Large Start Menu program a few days earlier. I didn't like it so I uninstalled it. A few days later I started getting the Start Menu problem. I'm not sure if the Large Start Menu program was the problem since the uninstall was done a few days prior. In any event I ended up installing dcd's 2.3.1 ROM a few days ago and the problem hasn't returned.
****, ok i tried to get a new rom, and now im stuck at this screen that is red green blue and white stripes, and says
"TITA100 MFG
SPL-2.4.0 Olipro
CPLD-9"
please help I have no idea what I'm doing, and I really dont want to hard reset! Thanks
See my reply in your other thread.
Regarding the white Start menu, I don't know if this is the cause, but PPC2003 used to have a bug where if you had more than 10 items on your Start menu, it would turn white. Maybe that's your problem.
this will be my 4th fone from t mobile, but unfortunatley is now out of waranty,,,everything was fine and working ok til last week, i used the tomtom on it and left it in the car for a few days, took it out and it wont work at all now..
it switches on and lads up, but as it loads the screen has little lines on the boot up screen , then it shows the windoes screen then i get the main screen,,
as soon as i select a program to use the screen frezes and fades away
and i cant do anything with it unless i remove the battery,,,
can anyone help????
many thanks
this can be either a hardware or software problem.if its a hardware problem you cant do anything about it except getting it fixed.if its a software problem try flashing another ROM or try a hard reset
put new rom in and reset it,,,still the same...
could it be the procesor???
I've noticed that it takes quite awhile to Boot up the X1. Is there anyway to possibly speed it up, cause it takes about a minute or longer even after I've done turbospeed and other performance tweaks.
Thanks, I use advance config and noticed something about splash screen settings, will playing around with those make a difference?
Also, yes I did use the search function and the thread's question wasn't really answered, thanks!
do you use original ROM? if yes the original ROM is quite slow... ^^
One minute is quite normal for a Windows Mobile. It's even quicker than many other Windows Mobiles I had in my hands.
I only ever shut down the phone if i need to softreset it because it have goon
crazy on me
and yes it takes a long time
but only reason i can see to really turn it off is if i softreset
or have to made do without being able to charge it for a while
and only have to start it up to call once in awhile
but mind you booting it up require pretty much power
so using the wall charger or a usb cable is better if you
have access to any of those options
Haha, yeah I'm running a Generic UK R2 rom, it's a bit of an improvement over R1, but I'm guessing that cooked roms will run even bette. I guess I don't turn it off too often, but most of the time it is soft resetting.
At worst, it took *two and a half* minutes (yes, you heard right) to boot up my phone! I did however have both the PIN code on and a phone lock key, but still...
the boot time is normal... like what the bro said, we usually dont reboot our winmos often..

Hm, where is the phone lock when starting up? I did not find anything like on my symbian where one has to put in a 'phone lock code' if there is a new sim inserted.
I know there is a "phone lock" but this does not apply when someone changed the sim and starts the phone.
Is there such a setting 'phone lock code when sim changed' at all?
X1i Boot- Up Times
hi all,
I noticed the boot up time was quite slow, until i updated the ROM.
Then i came accross a program called SK Tools, this has noticably sped up my phone considerably. Just do a search for SK tools in this forum and you should find it.
Hope i helped...

Probably yeah.
I recently added back the Xperia animation screen on 'Jack 2.1 lite rom' during boot-which added about 10 seconds to the boot time so you can probably remove that
Yup, I removed the bootsplash of the Xperia animation and it cut down bootup by a bit. I was wondering about the wait time for the WM splash screen though, it's default at 30 seconds..
for the bootsplash, how ui remove it?
for the sktoolls, what settings did u use
SK Tools Instructions
Launch SK Tools
Look for the Optimize Button
It will automatically select 3 Tick Boxes for you
select Action at the botton Left of the screen
Make sure performance is selected and click optimise.
Sometimes it soft resets, sometimes t doesnt.
then launch auto clean within SK Tools
You should notice a difference in the boot times... I DiD
I actually used Advanced Config Tool(Just Google and you will find it) to remove that "XPERIA" boot splash. Once you've installed it, run it, then go into the icon list that says HTC Animation, and disable it. I was curious if anyone's tried changing the Splash Screen settings where it says "MS splash screen on startup" or the MS timeout on startup.
Hello you all
I've got a strange problem with my HDmini :
Sometimes, the screen stops responding !
I can touch any button, the screen in any place, nothing happens.
I only have to remove the battery ( because thre is no reset ).
After strated again, when PIN code is asked, if a tap on "3" for exemple, it is like if i have tapped on "6" ; if i tap on "erase", i see "cancel" highlighted !
And after a few minutes, everything becomes normal again.
An idea ?
Did you install any cab or custom settings?
Yes, i'm using throttlelauncher with WP7 theme but when the screen is stuck, i have two choices :
Remove the battery to start again, without throttlelauncher started .
Restart the HTC with Mymobiler if the HDmini is connected.
At the end, the problem stays on.
I only have to wait for some time and then the touchscreen works again... by itself !
I haven't tried Throttlelauncher yet. I don't know if that can be the possible culprit.
Bart3385
For example, yesterday and today everything was OK and 5 minutes ago, the screen has stuck again !
Nothing possible to do on the screen neither with the 5 keys at the bottom !
I have to connect the HDmini to the PC and reboot it with my mobiler;
then i can use the screen interface.
It seems that the problem is the touch screen !

Try to ask for a new device (if it's still under warranty )

Maybe your device is blocking so hard that your keys and screen both don't work anymore. I have had that too once Maybe Trottle causes this?
Madmatt
The problem is to be sure that a software is the problem origin; before i ask for the PDA to be replaced by my operator.
Try to do hard reset. Install only the basic stuff. (Minus Throttlelauncher.) See if the phone goes back to normal.

That's a possible option.
Somehow, i'm not allowed to make that kind of suggestion anymore. Someone keeps on following me and make a mockery whenever i mention anything like that.
Anyway, try to check software problem first. As i first did on my own device. Before i've ascertained it is defective hardware.

It is normal, sometimes, it doesn't respond, lame htc hd mini. I have this problem long ago.
Thank's for your suggestions.
Today, the phone is completly stuck.
That's why i don't think it is a software problem.
I can' even entry the PIN code.
i've tried a Hard reset, to flash back to Original Rom = nothing more.
So i've asked Orange for an exchange under garanty...
That's a good move.
In some areas, a high percentage of units need replacement.
