Wizard freezes on wake-up while GPRS is AlwaysOn

Hi,
I have MDA Vario version of HTC Wizard.
After a ROM upgrade (to version 2.21.2.11) I have the following problem :
If I set AlwaysOn=1 in the registry, then GPRS is always connected as it should be - but when the device goes out of standby (by pressing (I) button or by an incoming call/message), the keyboard and touch screen do not respond for 10-20s. I can hear beeps when pressing keys but nothing happens (e.g. I cannot pick up a call...). After an annoying while, everything goes back to normal until a next standby-wake up cycle.
I've re-flashed the device with my operator ROM three times already, no other programs are installed (except customization stuff) and still have the same problem.
Before I decide to use some custom ROM, I'd rather try to find some other solution...
Any idea ?
regards
Maciek

AHHH me too
same setting applied and now i can i get a white screen after the tmob boot screen. when i call my phone it dosnt ring but the send & end buttons light up. the green signal indicator light is on too, and thats it. it also sleeps after a few min like normal, but the when i wake it up, the signal light is flashing but the backlight is not on. i really want to figure out how to put a txt file in the root of a card with instructions ot reinstall the backup reg i have. or get an activesync of my favs, list of apps, and outlook. any thoughts would be appreciated.....its my first ppc/wm device (xircom rex 6k --> handera 330 --> sharp zaurus 5500sl --> sharp zaurus 6000l --> HTC Wizard/T-mobile MDA Vario).

Resurrection
Hi - I am having a problem almost identical to the one in the first post. when my phone is in standby something happens which means it does not respond when turned on for about 20seconds, although it will anser a call. it's very annoying if you want to add a date quickly or send a text.
I have turned off gprs always on, removed any storage card plugins, and changed exchange server to only sync the last 3 days instead of everything. I am really a bit confused as tbis problem has only come about since I installed the tmob 2.26 rom and latest uk radio (after unlocking my phone) my phone previously worked fine with the current uk rom but was very slow toboot up. I don't really want to downgrade but i'm not seeing much option rihgt now. did anyone ever solve this?
any help greatly appreciated.

I am not really sure if this is a result of the GPRS ALWAYS ON settings - it just does not look that way!
I had a similar problem without having GPRS always turned on. After I reflashed the phone with exactly the same ROM again everything works fine. Did you booth install the CUSTOM ROM integrated in the flashed ROM as well or did you perform a SOFT RESET before it could install? The reason I ask is because of I think the problem is in the way how the WIZ writes / adds contents to the REGISTRY. It might have been that you resetted the device a bit too fast after HARD RESET or REFLASH and some of your REGISTRY KEYS are messed up!
If you have the possibility to perform a HARD RESET or REFLASH of your device: please try it and see if the problem persists! But please do not reload a backup afterwards because it would import also the faulty registry again ...
Please post your results afterwards, so, others would have a solution in future!

will give that a shot, although I did a completely clean install on this phone - no imported backups etc... is there any tool that can reset my registry to default settings?

Not really!
Depending on your phones ROM and CUSTOM ROM your registry will differ from others anyway, so, the only one way to get a 'default registry' is to perform a hard reset.

Buttons do not work?

Hi, I recently hard reset my HTC Vogue (Bell Mobility) and for some strange reason, whenever I put the phone to sleep (power key on the top) it stays there permanently, no keys work, nothing will wake it up. Any ideas?

try start settings system key lock.

tried that, same results when I turn the keylock off. I think it's my ROM though, I need to find an official Bell ROM to flash back to.

I'm pretty sure it's your ROM. Many users have had the same issue with the Alltel ROM.

I'm having the same problem.
Only thing is i used the file listed on these forums as being shipped in box for my Sprint. Everything else works fine except this and it used to work before. Only reason i used the one listed here as official is that i had a bad flash with the Alltel rom. It's supposed to be the official Sprint one. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to reflash because it took 2 hours just to put back my contacts manually and all the other programs i had in there originally.
Nevermind..I turned off the auto time synchronize with mobile network button as suggested in another link and it works so far.

HTC HD WIFI Problem

Hi,
I have a problem with the wifi on HTC HD:
When I try to launch WIFI after a soft reset it always run OK.
Afetr a sleep mode (ie the phone went to sleep mode after 30 secondes or if i put it in sleep mode after a single press on the power button), If i try to launch WIFI the system freeze almost 50 % of the time : sometimes i can launch wifi someteimes the system freezes.
I did a hard reset and didnt installed any new software: same problem.
I disabeled TouchFLO; same problem
Dose anybody have an idea that can help ?
Regards

Hi There,
same as you, it happens regularly that due to reconnection to wifi, the system freezes. I must take out the battery to restart the HD.

I can't reproduce your system freeze. Have you enabled the option to keep wifi alive while in stand-by mode? This can be done by HD Tweak (or Advanced Config).
For me it is disabled and it reconnects just fine after powering the device up again. Have you installed the HTC Hotfix(es) already? What Rom are you running?

Hi,
If I leave the WIFI on so no problem at all, when the system wake up after a sleep mode so the WIFI is OK, the problem occurs very often if I put OFF the WIFI before I go to sleep mode. If I leave the WIFI on so no problem.
Just a precision: when the problem happens after sleep mode sometimes it dosent freeze but the WIFI dosent go on, if I try many time to put wifi on it will end by freezing the system.
The hotfix is installed.
ROM version: 1.14.406.3(22273) FRE

somebody can help me with this wifi problem please ?

I would try to change or update the ROM to see if the
freezing goes away. If not, send it in to the service centre for diagnosis.

shame on HTC and shame on Expansys !
I've return back the HTC HD for diagnostics few days after I've received it because of the WIFI problem descrbed in the original post. Afetr 2 weeks I've received the phone with a notice"repaired under waranty", after quick test the problem still the same ! I've returened it back to Expansys-where I bought it- and I am stil waiting to be replaced !!! Imagine that: I've had the problem few days after I've bought the phone and I have never got to use it..now after 2 months I am still waiting for the phone..Expansys says it wa sent to HTC to be replaced..I've asked them to replace cause it is new, no answer from expansys...shame

I believe while I was having a different WIFI problem and came across this problem detailed somewhere on the HTC website... however I forget where.
Some googling and forum searching might do the trick!
Have you tried a different ROM perhaps?
Also maybe using HDTweak or AdvancedConfig you could change the wifi to always be on even when the phone is asleep; although this would completely drain the battery rather quickly it could be a useful stopgap until you find a solution!

Airplane Mode wont' turn off!

Hi all,
I have discovered an annoying bug on my HD2 when I got off a plane the other day and pushed the 'Airplane Mode - Resume wireless connections' - all that happened was that my Wifi turned itself on (it was off before the flight) and the phone itself stayed in off-line mode.
I rebooted the phone several times to no avail, every time all that happened was that the WiFi would activate every time I tried to deactivate the Airplane mode. When I deactivated the WiFi it went back into Airplane mode!
The only solution I found was to go to All settings - Personal - Phone then use the WM confirmation pop up screen to activate the phone. It seems the sense UI has a nasty bug there.
Hope this helps someone

I have a similar problem on my hd2:
Over night i let go my device into airplane mode (night-profile) with phone weaver 2.0 -- phone off, all connections off
The next morning i let go my phone into the day-profile and automatic enter my pin. But sometimes my phone connection can´t be activated - not with phone weaver and even not with the commanger in sense.
I have ti softreset my device - then it´s working again.
Is this a driver related problem? I had this issue with radio-rom 2.04, 2.05 and 2.07. Also with stock-rom 1.48 and custom-rom 1.66.

WIFI Problem with cooked roms

Sometimes i cant get wifi to work, i open comm manager and wifi its turned on even if i have disable it the last time i use. Then i turn it off and turn on again and i cant get it to work. If i made a soft reset with wifi on, the next boot in comm manager the wifi switch its on, but in task bar it's not showing the wifi icon, then i cant connect even if disable and enable.
The only way to make it work again its doing some soft resets, and sometimes even power off, before this i have to disable it in comm manager.
I thought its my phone problem and today installed the standard rom that came with my phone to send it to rma, but before, i try to replicate the problem and no sucess, wifi always working even after turn off, soft reset etc...
I allways do task 29 before flash, except today that i have installed standard rom, then the cooked.
The roms i use to flash are xanny and nrgz, i have the same problem in both, i even try diferent radios...
Any tip?
Thanks

Since I started flashing I've had this problem. Right after the flash WiFi works like a charm but after the first reset it's gone.
Solution I've been using for more than a year now is the following:
- Goto the WiFi Settings in your configuration settings and push on "Wireless Networks"
- Then "Edit" this profile (in WM 6.5.x the button on the bottom of your screen)
- Then goto "Name Servers" and put in your own
Gateway IP address in the DNS box and/or Wins box
- Press "OK" twice and you'll see the WiFi icon popup in your topbar
I know it's not the best solution but at least it works without having to reset it first (until the next reset. 'cause then you'll have to it again)
Hope it's working for you too.

Thanks i wil try next time to do that.
Its very weird my phone have almost 2 years and in the begining i start to flash i didn't have any problems like this, the original rom didn't last 24h in my phone, i didn't know exactly when it start to happen, but its only in the cooked roms.
I couldn't replicate it in the original rom...
But now since i installed the original rom and then a cooked rom it only happens once, lets see if it gets better.

Wifi Blues
Hi all
I am also facing similar issues on my Blackstone. I am using blackstonehenge rom and tried energy, kwbr rom as well. But my wifi and blue tooth some how don't work.
Today for the first time wifi signal was identified but it dried down quickly afterwards. No clue how it came or why it went away.
Please I need assistance. Can any body help Please.
Regards

I have same problem. Any solution?

well, a good start is to flash the latest radio rom. many cooked roms recommend it and have the corresponding rilphone integrated. if you are already on the latest radio, flash a previous version and then back to latest radio. also, after a radio upgrade, a hard reset is recommended. that should usually get it working.

Hi,
This may be way off mark but thought I'd mention it anyway.
My WIFI worked fine on my phone, then I flashed my first cooked rom a couple of weeks ago. After a soft reset, WIFI would start and be fine for a few minutes then wouldn't connect to anything.
I went through the settings and noticed that the WIFI was set to "best Battery". I moved this to "best performance" and WIFI has been fine ever since.
Like I say, this may be too simple but mabye worth a try.
Cheers

Wifi and Blue Tooth
Chef
