This has just happened recently, and was never an issue, but for some reason, every time now that I exit Igo on my Touch Pro 2, the top info of the phone (time, signal strength, battery level) is replaced by part of the igo login/logoff screen...If I try and do anything that requires 2-3 steps, phone freezes to the point of not even being able to shut it off. I have soft resetted, hard resetted, cleared all info. from the "saved" folder, and still the same issue...

Hi there, have you found a solution to this? I was using igo8 without problems for almost a year and now when press exit, the phone freezes.

do you use ark switch task manager ? i found out that if you exit ark switch first and then trun on your igo8 you won't have any issue on exiting igo8. i had the same problem with igo primo and exiting ark switch before running igo primo somehow fixed it.
you can give it a try.
I have a custom rom on my tilt2 - Illuminati and as a matter of fact it comes with ark switch cooked in. However, i like MMTaskManager more so I removed its autostart feature. I felt that something has to do with using a custom ROM coz before when i was on stock rom Primo was running like a clock. Btw, I miswrote above. My iGo 8 installation worked and works without any problem. It is iGo Primo that I cannot exit properly.
Actually I sometimes have the same problem with iGO8 and so does my wife. I have a Touch Diamond 2 and she has a Touch Pro 2. Neither of us have ark switch...

For thoughs who have had problems with tomtom freezing up a few times at the beginning.
i was messing about with tomtom 6 and always had that dreaded freeze at the beginning. I usually keep my bluetooth off (as tomtom usually activates it)and on this occasion i decided to keep it on before activating the tomtom program and didnt even see any freezes. I hope that helps some people. I only thought of this cause as noticed during the freezes the bluetooth flashey light didnt come on and only come on after program was running fine.
If someone has worked it out before me sorry for repeating it but didnt see it when i was searching the forums.

I've been fixing this by pressing ok button when it freezes up and switch back to TT via taskmanager to continue working
I've always 'fixed' this by turning the power off and back on again, that sorts it 95% of the time. I do the same with the bluetooth though, never have it on, so woudl try that, except the lock-ups have gone on WM6.
yeah i know about the green or red dial button. but i noticed i dont need to do that if the program starts up fine and works most of the time.
This problem is present in new Rom with aku 3.3.1?
And in wm 6?

Hi tvrman.
For starters, install Sprite backup (on one of the CD's you got with the Ameo). This will eradicate the need for a full install after a hard reset in the future!
I suggest you do a full hard reset anyway then install Sprite Backup utility.
Only put back your essential apps one by one with 1/2 a days gap between each installation and test the turn off turn on function.
Be sure to use the supplied X-Button application to ensure you properly clode apps down after you're finished with them....or use Wisbar Advance 2, which will do it for you....except for Active Sync (this will always remain active unless shut down manually in memory menu).
I have not once suffered the problem you have in over a months use of the Ameo....might be a faulty unit or a buggy ROM. What version ROM are you using?
Anyway, if all goes well over the next 3 days, do a full backup and save a copy to your storage card or micro drive and be sure to copy a copy over to your PC...that should future peoof you having to do a full install again in the future. And be sure only to back up, if you have no problems with the device and the problems you mentioned earlier. Otherwise you will allways restore the bugs in the device after a hard reset.
Hope this helps. keep us updated on how you get on.
Mackaby007
thanks for you professional answer, i was not aware that spd backup
was on the cd which was delivered at the ameo.
Well yesterday i found out that one of the programs (profimail)
which i'm using serveral times a day for my mail, that this is the problem
I found out that yesterday i didn't use profimail but the built in mail the
whole day and the ameo did not freeze at all the whole day
tried to turn it off an on the whole day and no problems at all,
yesterday late i start profimail and check serveral mails, i close profimail
and turn the device off, later turn it on and a black screen it would not
turn on
After soft reset everthing works.
So i will check today again without using profimail and see what's happends
again.
i'll let you know....
hi,
I had the same problem.
My solution was to format the mini-sd card.
So what i did:
1. copied all data on de minisd in a cardreader to a directory on pc
2. Formatted (not quick) the minisd
3. Copied all data back to the minisd.
All the tests I have tried suggest it is Wisebar Advance 2 that is causing the freezing.
Anyone else find this? Shame as it is the program I like the most

No such issue here! WA2 runs like a dream on my Ameo...even better than it did on my Hermes or Prophet! I'm using the 2.8.0.2 version of WA2 without WAD.
WA2 + WAD
Yes, in my case it was also WA2. I made my own skin and all work fine. But in time I got more lock-ups. So I decided to reinstall everything. Then things went wrong. That day I have installed everything 6 times. Every time I had lock-ups when I pushed the power button and activated it again. But after disabeling WA I had no troubles anymore. The last production and beta version have the same problems. At this point I have to advice not to use WA2. I did not examine every feature of WA2. So there can be one feature that caused the problem. I made my own iPhone landscape skin and I was very pleased. Could somebody try this skin to see if it freezes their device?
skin
iPhone skin ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Software/iPhone.rar
I use a lot of apps. I also use the following plugins on WAD:
SPB Diary
Profiles for Windows Mobile
Windows Life Messenger

I'll give the skin a test run in an hour, but I refuse to use plug-ins again. They have always caused me problems, but WA2 never has. What version were you running?
Tried the i-phone skin and have experienced no issues whatsoever.
Maybe the Problem is WAD and your plug-ins.
WAD keep on giving problems like this...it's a sin for such an interesting application...here it is because I gave up to use it.

trayap.exe
Since I removed the trayap.exe from the init part of the registry I did not have any freezing anymore. I will try WA2 again to see if this solves my problem.
By the way, I am using the latest beta's of WA2 and WAD
hi all
i find that if i use the off button to turn off the backlight whilst media player is running it jams the machine, requiring a reboot. i know that i can usethe light button on the keyboard but i sometimes forget that media player is running (ie. paused).
I have the same freezing problem now after a few weeks of usage.
The device was running very nicely but now, without installing anything further or adding anything to the device, it freezes randomly.
It likes to freeze when the backlight goes off, while I play MP3 files or have a phone conversation using bluetooth.
In the past 4 days I have softreset the device no less than 81 times.
I suspect the Microdrive is to blame. Is it sensitive to movement?
I will remove all my software and other files from the microdrive and see if things improve.
In the mean time, has anyone else experienced random and frequent freezing?
Oh, I have the Dopod U1000 branded device with the latest firmware.
ok, I had it with this. 16 more soft resets within 4 hours.
I hard reset the device. So far I see no random freezing, but I didn't install anything extra yet except ozVGA and VJBigPhone. And both of them on the internal memory, so nothing on the microdrive.
I have encountered an unusual issue (bug?) on the HD and wondered if anyone else had seen the problem (and found a solution!)
First the issue:
When I rotate the device to landscape, applications initially rotate properly. However, after a few seconds the phone dialer screen appears (in landscape mode). It blinks once or twice (like the screen is redrawing) and stays there for perhaps five seconds before switiching back to the original app. However, even though the device is still held i landscape, the application is now in portrait mode too and the only way to get it back to landscape is to rotate the device back to portrait then to landscape again...at which point the whole cycle repeats.
Things I have tried to clear the problem:
So far, all I have tried is a soft reset, which I thought had cleared the problem at first. Sadly, however, it's back.
Repeatability and conditions:
I've only done one soft reset so far as I wanted to investigate a bit further first
It initially happened in Opera with GSen off (it is installed though)
It happens whether or not GSen is active
It happens in all applications, not just Opera (obviously GSen is active when it happens in other applications)
I don't have a HD (yet) but i've read somewhere that GSEN is not working correctly on the HD. There is suppused to be a tool called "Gyrator2" which does the same but is more stable on the HD.

May be an option, but I haven't had any problems with GSen and I seem to get the issue whether or not GSen is active. I have even had it in an instance where GSen had not been activated since the previous reboot.
Thanks for the thought though, I'll investigate...
please don't use GSen since it's heavily bugged atm for the HD.. Gyrator2 is an option even though consumes a lot of cpu power (device become slow whenever Gyrator2 rotates the screen)

Will the problem go away if you uninstall GSEN? I mean, not just making it inactive, but to completely remove it.

Annoyingly enough (in one way) I've not had the issue since I soft reset a few hours ago. I'm keeping a close eye to see if i can trap what I have been doing just before the issue recurs.
I have suspicions about PCM Contacts but have no good reason to, other than the fact the problem started at roughtly the same time as I installed the latest version.
Next step is to try removing GSen, as you suggest, but I want the issue to recur first to see if I can make some sense of what's happening...
The problem isn't with Gsen.
This happened to me while browsing, it just kept flicking back to portrait and then coming out of Opera.
As a result I thought I'd install Gsen and everything worked perfectly for about an hour. I left the phone (locked) for a while to attend to a few other things and then it started again.
Now I've not had the phone long 10 days or so but I have installed a lot of cabs and applications. At first I thought it might be a bug on the HD but unfortunately it could be anything.
What I will say is that I didn't have this problem before I added new tab icons (manilla), installed Schaps AC or changed the calc skin. Gsen was next on my list.
A soft reset seemed to work for me.
Hope this helps.
Mav.
Switching the phone on and off seems to clear the problem for a while. Anyone solved this?
My solution
Just wanted to say that i had this exact problem.
Fugured it had to be a problem with som custom stuff i had installed, and so it was.
Started uninstalling backwards from the last installed thing, and found that the problem was caoused by a custom status icon cab I installed.
Named Colored Top Bar WWE ST.cab
If you have something similar, this could be the problem.
(BTW, I'm not bashing the author of this file at all. Everyone should know that installling custom stuff is your own responsibility)

i cannot conclusively say if it's a problem with GSEN or not. but i had the exact same problem with GSEN installed, but not activated. i couldn't solve the problem so i did a hard reset (i didn't bother uninstalling gsen and try it again). i don't have problems anymore, but i do have all my old applications installed, except for GSEN. i currently do not have gyrator or any other screen rotating app installed. i don't have a need for them at the moment. so i don't conclude anything, you can deduce from here.

I have the same Top Bar and don't have the issue you guys have been describing.
my problem is kinda similar but a little different, my opera works fine w/ landscape and portrait, but when I try to access My Faviorite in landscape mode, it would only display in portrait even though I was holding it landscape and the second half of the screen was still the page content. it's weird and I still didn't got time to do a hard reset first, any one experience this?
I have this issue (damnit), and I am using those color-top-bar-icons. However, I have never been using GSen, I am using gyrator 2. Can anybody confirm that it is top-bar-icons that's causing the problem?
I have the issue and I don't have the top bar colored icons installed.
I do have Gyrator 2 but the problem still occurs when Gyrator 2 is not running.
I don't know why it occurs and it goes away by itself...seems sporadic.
I got Gyrator2 on mine too, but I don't see people in Gyrator thread complaining about this happening...um...do I really need a hard reset for this?
(by the way, I disable all rotation and only enable the programs I used, of course Opera is disabled)
update from mine, I just did a hard reset the the landscape favorite in Opera still got messed up, so I restored my device and gave up. gotta wait for new official ROM maybe...
I came to check SMS and suddenly saw the device is off, tried to turn it on but the on/off button didn't work.
I removed the battery and put it back again, and only then the power button worked and the device booted.
Do you think it was a problem of the battery not touching right ?, but if so, how could it be that this didn't happen before, I didn't touch the battery for a week now...
I have this problem as well. It happens twice to me. These happened to me also if I install certain program. I don't have this problem if that program not present. I am testing it more before I "share" the program name.
kkchan, maybe you should tell me the program's name, so I could tell you if I have it installed too...
Hi,
The program is used to rotate screen.
I don't have such a program installed...
Man I hope it's not hardware related, I simply can't accept hardware instabilty...
I had similar symptoms after installing SRS WOW HD.

As title mentions, i get a weird GPS issue in which after abut 5 days of not soft resetting the Touch HD, TomTom has a harder time finding any GPS satellites.
It takes it almost 5-10 minutes to find a signal, and when it does, it keeps losing it.
If i soft reset the device, the signal is caught within 5 seconds regardless of the place or weather.
I originally thought it was to do with QuickGPS not being up to date but that wasn't the case since it just happened this morning and i had to soft reset and got a signal within 5-10 secs.
Anyone getting this problem for not soft resetting the device with 5 days or so?
I'm using the "Built in GPS Reciever" in the TomTom.

I had a similar problem with TomTom and GPS where it would connect for a few seconds then drop using the "Built in GPS Receiver".
My solution which has worked and never failed was to disable AGPS (not QGPS, the download for Satellites but AGPS which apparently assists in getting quick locks.
Now I have no problems, whether soft reset or mutliple open/close of the TomTom app.

Just noticed that today... weird ...I couldnt find an explanation.
Sorry, i forgot to mention that A-GPS is turned off.
It only happens if i don't soft reset it after a few days, then as soon as i do, it's back to working properly.
I don't know if this is a TomTom issue or something else.

Nah... It happend to me today with Garmin.. I thought something was going wrong with the OS ... I rebooted the OS and everything went fine.. Shouldnt happen anyway.
Which radio protocol do you have on your Touch HD? I have 1.09.25.14.
It doesn't make sense. What changes in those extra days of not rebooting to cause the GPS to act weird.
Hopefully WM6.5 doesn't do this anymore, but we need comments from people using other radios and other ROMS to see if it exists on theirs aswell.
