Hi,
since a couple of days I've been having gwes.exe problems. For some reason gwes.exe fails to run properly even after a hard reset. When i go to processes in task manager there's a red cross in front of gwes.exe so i guess it's not working. It has caused my phone to crash 3 times already but doesn't do that all the time...
Does someone know what's wrong?
I have the same troubles with gwes.exe
The red cross in front of the gwes.exe in task manager is its icon. It doesn't symbolyze an error.
I suspect that the file cracks after achieving certain size. After soft reset the size of the file was 4,2M and shortly after it's 6,02M.
I start to observe and I'll revert here further.
Now I have errors not only with gwes.exe but also with device.exe. Finally I turned off error reporting and no more errors bothering me

Ok, this is driving me mad - my O2 XDA Mini S is frequently (but irregularly) coming up with a dialog saying "Unhandled Exception Error -attempting to restart shell" - all I can do is click Ok, which then resets my PPC.
I've had the XDA for about a month and never had this problem till 2 days ago - I noticed it started happening after I installed TenGo, Fitaly and CalliGrapher. I've uninstalled all these, but it still happens.
It happens when I click the X to close a program - not every time, and I notice it most often with "built in" apps like Contacts and Settings and Programs (although it did happen once when I closed Resco Explorer). It doesn't happen every time, but it is very very annoying, especially as it takes about 4 minutes to boot up after every reset (it's always been this long, is this normal?)
I should mention I use an app called InClose to close programs without SmartMinimising them, but I've been using it since day 1 and never had this problem.
I also recently installed a new version of Microsoft .NET CF and removed the old one, dunno if this matters.
Thanks a lot, any help appreciated as it's rendering my phone unusable cos I'm scared to open any apps in case it crashed again.
Shell Error
If your running Battery Status version 104.203 build 4 that could be your problem,
If so, try and switch to different version...if it persists then get a different overclock utility..
Hard resetting will not fix the issue
Hi everybody
Many times, after powering on my HTC, I get this message : " There was a problem with device.exe".
Since then, the device is blocked
At this point, the only way to unblock it is with a soft reset.
Any idea to solve this problem ?
Thanks
Hopefully this is a software related bug. What applications have you installed, maybe it is some kind of incompatibility. Did you already did a hard-reset?
Otherwise you should try to flash a cooked rom, or at least the latest official rom.
i get this problem sometimes as well but only after ive used coreplayer 1.2.5
It could be, I have Core Player 1.2.5 installed too.
I have Coreplayer 1.whatever too.
also, I've been noticing problems with cprog.exe and services.exe along with device.exe.
i had the self same problem.. but i dunno where it came from. it happened a few hours after i bought it, i barely had any apps on there...
i just disabled the error message ^^ phone works fine though...

I have gyrator installed,that's true... but I always close it(it is shutdowned) every time,so I think it cannot influence other active programs...so these errors should have other causes
help for me
i had the problem too. When i made a hardreset after the configuration of the device, the phone will configure the data connection. At this point i cancelled and configured the data connection myself.
At this point the problem with device.exe was gone.
Data connection / device.exe issue
Hi, a while abck i had some problems with services.exe crashing frequently. Even after a hard reset the problem persisted and there was nothing i could do to resolve it. However over time the error stopped occuring.
Now I am having a different issue. A few days ago i started to get a problem with my data connection, it would show as being active and connected but it would not send or receive any data at all. Tried this using Opera and google maps wouldnt download anything. The rpoblem would be disappear after a soft reset but then after the phone went to sleep and awoke it would re-appear.
Now i have started to get frequent device.exe crashes and after this happens my data connection stops working alltogether until i soft reset. But then the program will crash a variable amount of time later. I have not installed anything recently since this started happening. There doesn't seem to be any pattern to the crashes like I have read about on other threads, it has happened while watching the youtube app, browsing the web or simply waking up the phone and having the error report waiting for me.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions from what I have described? I am a bit unwilling to Hard Reset as this did nothing for my previous errors and having read other articles on device.exe errors this did not help others.
Thanks for any help!
device.exe
Same thing for me. Sometimes the data icon appear grayed. When activesync try to connect, device.exe crashed.
The only solution I found is to install addintimer and program task \windows\replog.exe /remote/all/h
Not very elegant but it works. Bug appeared after I updated ROM with official HTC Rom
MOD EDIT
I've merged 2 threads as both on same topic
After doing more reading i found that people on other winmo devices were getting this error on wakeup due to a problem with GPS.
After racking my brains thinking what could cause it i remembered i had lattitude on google maps. Since i've disabled this *touch wood* i've had no more crashes.
spoke to soon. device lasted 2 days instead of a few hours though.. progress at least :/
Same prob here....
Cant turn on wifi, bluetooth and cant connect via usb. Soft and hardreseted also flashed with its preinstalled orange firmware(ofcourse done with sd flashing). Same problems all time.
Is it hardware or software related???
BR
i have same problem but it appeared after hard reset and with out any installs
so i performed another hard rest till now its fine
Everytime error device.exe..
Every connection to pc it shows device.exe error.
I think its hardware
Do anybody help me? After changing old Manila theme I restore again the old one but the problem is 1. The volume icon disapeared when tap the left side volume heardware button . 2. the core plaryer 1.3.2 ver running without sound. How could I can solve this p[roblem?
Hey guys, I discovered that the phone application crashes if I talk on the phone for more than an hour in a row. I repeated the experiment several times and got the same thing : gwes.exe has encountered an error and needs to be closed... The screen will not respond anymore nor the softkeys, You should open the back cover and reset it by pressing the red buttons. I did read several threads about gwes.exe memory leak and the possibility that the application may eat system resources with time.
I come from a Hard reset.. Just fresh stock ROM and tried to repeat the process.. Again, system crashes. Any idea ?
Following on from my services.exe constantly erroring, a few more have appeared.
connmgr.exe has crashed a few times now as well as device.exe which locked the phone.
Im getting a bit worried now as this seems to be an excessive amount of crashes...

Hard reset device to restore factory settings. If you are still experiencing these errors try flashing a different rom
Can somebody with the know how make a little program which litterally only performs one task: kills the process services.exe.
The reason for this is it is the cause of many soft resets in a day. Sometimes not even fixing the slowdown anyway and causing the famous black screen of death.
But as soon as i go to sktools and use the processes tool and kill the process phone goes back to being how it should! However because the phone goes into major slowdown it takes ages for the sktools processes program to load and then hard to select services from the list because of the lagging etc so it would be nice just to have a link that i could put on my quick links and when phone goes to melt down just press this magic button which saves the phone being hurled at a wall!
It needs to be called Meltdown Override or something!
This is a serious request as it would make HD2 use a much more pleasant experience!
Many thanks
This is pretty easy to do AFAIK...
If nobody else does it, I can do it when I have some more free time ...
I would appreciate this so much!
I think I may even use AEB to assign it to a long press of the back key or something
But, does services.exe auto-starts again? Because you could have some problems if you kill it and don't start it again...
Yer it does straight away but not running at 90% + CPU.
I find it unlikely that services.exe is really the culprit here, but rather a service installed on your phone that is misbehaving. If you find out which service is causing the problem, and then uninstall or disable it....

This guy is right...
Ive only just installed a new ROM voda UK 1.72 so I have next to no programs installed at the moment so I don't see what could cause it.
The main time this happens is when left charging over night and when you go to use it in the morning it's completely screwed. Soft reset doesnt fix it it just goes to black screen of death so then u have to take the battery cover off and reset again. The only thing i have found to get it to a useable state again is to kill process services.exe, and then its fine again. Once by doing that it stopped weather update and text messaging from working but atleast when i then did a soft reset things where still fine and those two things worked again and no laggy phone.
I kno it seems stupid to just kill a process and not find the problem but i cant see what the problem could be considering how recently i hard reset the phone (which i did 3 times in total to see if it got rid of the problem).
Just forget that ROM and go back to a working one? Seems easy to me... don't always need to have the latest or highest version number, just something that works... If 1.72 doesn't work for you, don't use it!
I would if it wasn't for the fact that after doing the annoying procedure in the morning of killing process "services.exe" then soft reseting, it runs the quickest i have ever been able to use the device on any ROM before it
You know that services.exe is one of the main parts of your phone-funcionality (calls, sms, etc.)?
As you said you experience it in most cases in the morning... Have u got GAlarm installed?
If yes --> Did you check the RegKey MidnightWakeup=True and change it to false?
My Girlfriends TD2 had the same issue. CPU usage by services.exe was often around 70-90% until i applied this change...
Services.exe is just like svchost on a windows-machine, it just hosts a bunch of services. So most likely its a service that has gone crazy.
