the memory card messes up atleast twice a month. and i've only had it for 2 and a half months!
for i have to reformat the phone all the time, cuz somehow the memory card messes up my programs too. i installed IguidenceV3 on the storage card, and now that the card messed up, when i reinstall it, the program won't run! it keeps saying it's not signd with a trusted certificate or one of it's compents aren't found. WTF!
i deletw, reinstall, reflash etc.. nothing works anymore!
i have reflashed my phone about 10 times already!
im about to throw my phone against the wall!
argh!
wtf is wrong with this phone!
i even used sprite backup to make a backup of all my stuff, so if my phone does fuk up again, i can easily restore it, but the restore keeps failing! wtf! i hate this ****!

either youve messed up somink real bad...or you got bad luck :shock:
my phone is fine..! had it since march..done one hard reset to get rid of the tmobile stuff..

Your best bet at this point is to do a hard reset, wipe everything, and then reinstall NOTHING for a day and see how the phone works. Not 15 minutes or an hour, a day. If it seems ok, try overclocking again if you really think you need it. Again, install NOTHING else and let it go for a day and see if overclocking kills it. If not, start installing software, one by one, and see how the phone reacts to each. Don't install a dozen and play with them, install one at a time, check it out, do stuff with it, see how everything reacts before installing the next one. And finally, the today screen crap sucks up tons of memory and CPU time and leaks like a sieve. Get rid of it.

Sounds like some pretty good advice. Having all of those programs installed will surely create some type of conflicts within the OS.

when I first got my K-Jam, I installed all the plugins and apps I had on my last PPC. I found within a day or so my K-Jam would simply reboot itself whether I was touching it or not. And it did it a LOT!
I did a hard reset and ran it that way for a couple days and it was an amazing phone. I then only installed a couple apps at a time. I eventually found it was a today plugin that was causing my problems.
I haven't had a single problem since then. I'm betting it's one of the *MANY* apps you have installed.

I agree with markgamber, to do a hard reset and run it clean for a while. Rather than blame the phone, perhaps the issues lie with the storage card.
Also, some apps don't like to run from the storage card, as I had a similar same problem with PocketMusic installed on the card. It was flakey, getting worse by the day, and after a hard-reset and reinstall this time on the device it runs fine (so far).
I just installed iGuidance v3 but put the app on the device with maps on the card. It runs fine so far.
After verifying the phone is working okay without third-party software, install iGuidance on the device (maps on card, of course) and give it a try. If you still have trouble, try replacing the card.

[Duplicated message. Wish you could delete messages!]

if you on 02 get rid of the o2 active rubbish itll run a lot better

Oh yeah....one last thing since I see you're running 2.17....get rid of that tweaks rubbish. I run 2.17 and it works great just as it is. All you're going to do by "tweaking" it is destablize it for what probably amounts to an imperceptable performance gain. I'd also recommend dumping the overclock bit, too. If you get rid of all that today screen junk, you will probably find that real apps run just fine without having to resort to tricks like overclocking.

SPB PocketPlus not closing programs

One of the main features of PocketPlus that I use is the close button modification - so it closes programs as opposed to minimising them. However, it seems that it has stopped doing that.
I can't pinpoint anything that I've done to make this happen, I haven't installed any new software or changed any settings...
Can anyone think how I can fix this? It says it is set to 'close' rather than minimise in the options. All the ROMs and whatever on my Exec are default.
I'm using 3.04.

Reinstall
Should solve the problem (easiest way)

Okay, I've tried reinstalling BUT...
Before I uninstall, there is about 4MB of storage left. This doesn't increase when I uninstall, and when I reinstall it gives me the message about storage being critically low...
Also, when I look in memory in settings, it shows the storage memory as 7.4MB. However, when I go to install pocketplus it shows the memory available as 3.9MB.

Softreset before you uninstall then

It does that automatically, it says that I have to soft reset to complete the uninstallation. I have also done it manually.
I've removed something else now and in the memory settings pane and the remove programs pane it shows 8MB free, but when I go to install it it says 4.5MB free... Why could this be?

Reinstalling doesn't seem to have fixed the problem. It still isn't closing the programs.
Does anyone know of an alternate way to make the close button actually close things instead of minimising?

Got your same problem. Went even through a hard reset on my qtek 9000 and had it re-installed. Works for a couple of times than this function stops to work....Who knows why
I thus decided to go that way
-magic button (excellent freeware) it gives you many possibilities to manage apps closing or minimizing
-spb diary
-resco launcher (very essential launcher but n°1 memory saver
If resco launcher doesn't suit you keep magic button and go to illauncher
After you have played with complex and very aesthetical apps..you come back to efficiency.....
have fun

Magic button seems to be doing the trick now, thanks for the recommendation

I've installed this program on my Vario, but when uninstalling it it doesn't come off. Furthermore, my Vario isn't starting back up after it soft-resets itself to complete the uninstall. I tried just about everything, nothing will work!
Any suggestions??

TF3D Loop Crash/restart

Hey guys,
My TF3D keeps crashing and restarting out of its own, rendering it useless. It starts up for about 5 secs in which it works, then it crashes again and then it starts itself up again.
I even hard resetted my device but it still keeps doing it.
I have the Xtreme HD rom 1.8 from Dutty installed on it.
-- I'm currently hard resetting the device again.
Could it perhaps be that a program in my memory card is causing this? I have like 6 programs there (normal ones, not tweaking programs.)
Thanks in advance

I have the same problem. I have discoverd that my contacts is causing this.
The problem also occures in the stock rom on my old Diamond, and there the Pciture data of a contact somehow was corrupted after being synced with the adressbook of OSX. Removing the pictures and editing them directly on the phone solved the problem then. I have yet to tried this on my Blackstone as all my contacts (200+) have pictures associated with them and i can´t bother to remove all of them.

Oh darn your right! I'm running on a Macbook Pro (OSX) aswell and it started after I synced using The Missing Sync.
--
I fixed it now by deleting all contacts in adressbook and the HD by manually inputting them =].
Thanks a lot!

The problem is mentioned on the first page of dutty's rom thread. There is a cab file in the downloaded rom folder to try and fix it but it did not work for me and my Macbook. I ended up copy/pasting a fake .jpg file to 131 contacts in Address Book and then syncing. It did not take as long as I thought it would and everything worked great after that.

I was having the same problem. Thanks for the solution!

"Unable to initialize camera."

"Failed to set up the camera device." This has been happening on my TMO-US HD2 after a few hours of operation in the short time I've had it. Only a soft reset will fix it. Running the stock ROM with no real modifications so far. Anyone experiencing this problem?

Do a hard reset. This will wipe the phone back to the way it came from T-Mobile. You will loose anything you put on the phone.

Just found another thread suggesting that leaving Opera open in the background might cause this error. Closed Opera and, to my surprise, the camera worked again! So, my immediate problem is solved ... though why Opera should cause this error remains a mystery.

I had the same issue. Turn the phone off and turn it back on. No need to hard reset

Out of memory i think, ofter happen with heavy ram program, like opera, windows media player.. shame to have 448 mb of ram

it is because of Opera...I had the same problem a couple of time when the camera or camcorder could not start so I just searched the forum and found this thread. I just tried opening opera and leaving it in the background while i start the camera. Voala! It did not work. As soon as I closed Opera, the camera was back to normal.! They should add this thread to the tweaks or something so people know... Thank you guys! Tha helped me a lot!

Opera10 does something weird with virtual memory (or pagepool) where it allocates TOO much. Opera10 also blocks iGo8 and a number of other apps also.

is there any fix for this? its a bit wearysome to have to restart the fone everytime i want to take a foto when i have been using opera.... as simply shutting opera does not work for ne... surely htc should have fixwd this by now....

Its definately Opera 10. The memory allocation is too high for some reason.

well, im jst running stock opera 9.7 and i still get the problem...

Sounds like you are out of system memory. Try uninstalling some apps or move them over to the storage card. I had the same problem as Opera10's epic cache was eating up my system memory. Cleaning out the YouTube folder also gave me another 100MB.

Got this problem with palringo, when i tried to share a picture, then my camera had this issue. Restart the phone and it should be alright...

ive sorted it out now by moving some apps (installed thru market place!) to the storage card uskng sktools now all ok!

I am having the same issue now..
its is showing the main memory details like this
STORAGE PROGRAM
total:312 mb 173 mb
in use:31mb 85 mb
free:283 mb 89 mb
Any clue why is it happening ??
pls help me guys

By the sounds of it, it isn't HTC at fault, but Opera's developers.
Have you tried cleanRAM? That should blitz the RAM and stop you needing to reboot.

have been getting the same problem. need to reset everyday! I have closed Opera and always clean up. but, not working. anyone ?

somebody also said it has something to do with the extra camera formats turned on in bsb tweaks guys, i have turned them off and opened opera 10 and camera works

Installing fennec browser (firefox mobile) caused my camera to quit working - only fix for it is hard reset - tried it several times with the same result.

mine happens upon installation of swype

Finally I managed to take my phone to customer service center,they reinstalled the OS but the result was same. So thy confirmed it as a motherboard problem and thy took a couple of days to replace it with new motherboard. Luckly I was under warrenty, now my camera is workking fine

please help,going insane..

my HD2 is driving me nuts..its becoming very unresponsive...need to soft reset it all the time..have not more than one app running at any given time..have around 3000 messages and using the SMS function is driving me even more crazy..typing each character takes too much time.have the latest ROM and the hot fixes.use BsB tweaks,Cookies tab.please help/advice.should i perform a hard reset?the mob is three months old.
regards and thanks in advance!

If you recently installed lots of apps, then that is probably the main cause. Check out how much space you have left on your phone (not the card). If there's nothing running in the taskmanager, you could try and delete some files from the phone's memory. If nothing works, just backup (wither manually or using one of the apps available, such as SPB Backup) and hard reset the phone.
As for the SMS issue, I think there is a fix for that somewhere around here. If you don`t find it, just search for a cab which disables the HTC Messaging app. The winmo version works better, even if it looks nastier.

Hi, You could try cleanRAM to tidy up any memory leak probelms, it's noted on XDA in a few places (I got it from frewarepocketpc.net). I have heard that there is a .cab available to disable HTC Messaging but I prefer tidying up my messages by backing up to Microsoft Myphone and deleting the local copies daily. Yes, HTC failed in my opinion but this seems to work for me.
Regards.

Installed apps go into storage mem so deleting them won't have any effect.
If operating RAM gets low then it will have an effect but its nothing to do with what you have installed.
Its about what is running or otherwise hogging the operating RAM and people have plugged through this time and again.
The ROM you are running has an effect as has various system caches.
Branded ROMs come with all sorts of clutter and junk and finding a clean lite ROM and flashing that will assist immeasurably.
Regular closing (properly!) running apps and using something like CleanRam all helps as well.
The HD2 is a cutting edge piece of kit and it its possible to get it to fly and be very stable.
