Hi Guys,
i dont know if anyone else is getting this but i never had it before, i keep getting what looks to be a small notification box appearing but you cant see it as it seems to appear then shoot beneath everything, it seems to be when about to write a text and using a couple of other bits it will pop up. The notification box itself is small and has a small 'ok' option to the top right of it
any ideas??
most certainly you have installed something that's causing this, I've went through 4 different roms including the stock and never encountered anything similar.
Review the running tasks with a taskmanager like MMTaskManager, or the list of installed applications via settings-apps-remove apps, you'll need to use your investigative talents to identify the cause

Hi
Not sure when this started, or what ive installed or removed to cause this problem. But, now if i add an appointment, it appears twice. If i add a program, the icon appears twice. If i try and add a contact to the speed dial, it complains it already exists (i.e. tries to do it twice).
Anyone suffered this?
The only thing i did was remove the o2Active from the startup folder to the windows folder. Havent removed anything else.
Have installed quite a few things though.....
btw, im sending duplicate SMS's also!....
so this could prove costly!!... what should i reinstall, uninstall?
problem solved. Seems like a problem in Battery pack App 2004. If you select in the options "clicking X will close apps", then for some reason it seems to commit certain things twice.
Not sure whether its battery pack thats the prob, or something else in the o2 setup on the machine, that is playing around with the battery app setting.
Hey all has anybody else experienced this? when I open up outlook to check emails or text messages outlook's background doesn't load up, I can see on the top bar the name of the inbox I'm currently supposed to be looking at but the background is my today screen. I can send new messages but basically I can't read new ones if I try to touch the screen I activate whatever I hit on my today screen. I took off all my today screen plugins, but nothing, if anyone has any suggestions or ideas, I would appreciate it.
Sounds obvious and stupid but have you turned the device (hold power button) and back on again? This happens to me sometimes and after a reboot it seems to fix it.
Yeah I do the same thing, the only problem is that it's doing it too often and it's a pain to reset my phone 3 - 4 times a day.
Oh i see. Mine has never done it that often, sorry I can't help any more!
You have a software conflict somewhere - it will be v hard to track down. You could try uninstalling some especially if you have spb products installed as they often are the culprits. But you probably need to hard reset and add programs one by one to find the one.
I had this problem in the past (with old ROMs though)
The way I managed to overcome this is to keep outlook running in the background.
I'm using the Spb Pocket Plus and in the "close button configuration" I added the outlook to the exceptions list. By keeping it running, it always come back with a complete screen (not just top and bottom).
But then again, I didn't see this behavior since I upgraded the ROM; I'm on the 2.26 ROM now.
@gilbnx
Yeah was just thinking of doing something like that more or less.
@meschle
The only spb software I have is spb backup, I always works at first it's just at some point after I've been using the system for a while that it starts doing it. It could be after opening some application and I just haven't noticed. I'll try opening one application at a time and checking to see if it stops working after a certain one, yes tedious I know, but tell you the truth I don't use a whole lotta applications, so I'll stick to the ones I usually open up.
For those of you having this problem, if you are using smartkey, make sure outlook, MMS, Text messaging, are set to be ignored, just like it is in the default smartkey.ini. I had altered the ini and taken out all the programs since I wanted them all to close, but I noticed it started happening after closing outlook with smartkey, so I put it back on ignore and haven't had any problems since (and I hope I won't).
Hi! I was using the device normally. Suddenly, all of sudden, the screen went on full brightness and the device started vibrating oddly. A pop-up message came on the screen notifying me,"main battery very low". The battery was 91%. My unit is just 2months old. Also, one more pop-up comes which says,"unidentified USB device".
Also, I went to the settings>>memory. Strangely, it showed the memory devided into 2parts(just like WM2003)
So, I got 3 questions..
1)Anyone got any clue what/why happened?
2)Has anyone else experienced this?
3)What can I do to avoid this problem in future?
I have been an active member in the forums. But, this problem is something, I have never heard of. Please help
I had something similar and I put it down to an application I used to close programs instead of minimising them. I had the full brightness, and the memory panel showing the old WM2003 screen with the slider to adjust between programs and storage.
Have you been doing anything similar? If so try it for a while without the app that closes programs, and let WM look after its memory.
Hope this helps
Matt

Exactly, it happened to me just 1day after I uninstalled Wisbar Advance2. Actually, I m software reviewer too and I try out many apps(was trying the official beta of handyswitcher from past two days). Handyswitcher used to minimise the apps and let them run in the background.
But, now, wisbar advance is up again and so far so good because now I close all the apps after I use them
Still curious to know why it happens? And what are you doing to stay out of this problem?
i got it too once, no idea why it happens though...

Which task manager do you use?(considering the fact that you dont get this 'odd' screen now). Also, were you using a task manager at that time?
Looks like the people who are letting the windows manage the memory are more prone to it(?)
BTW, congrats on becoming a MOD *clap* *clap* *clap*
I've had the same problem with mine too... sometimes when im writing a semi-long email or txt, the screen goes to full brightness, then ANY program i try to load, says its unsigned... all the text goes white, and i have to reboot to get back to normal.... PLUS i'll lose any recently saved txts/emails/notes :S
REALLY annoying... no ones every come up with an explanation :S
Plus i don't have any extra installed apps, and ive tried several different ROMs... so hmmmm weird!
Just happened again ASA I had taken-off wisbar advance 2 for a while.
Grrrr..
It appears that it happens when you leave multiple apps in the background. Second reason can be, what Pooper said that it mostly happens when you are typing a SMS in messaging app.
Interestingly, this never happens, when the device is in Tablet(portait) mode
Now, activated wisbar advance again, no problem. But, it takes away lots of precious RAM
I think WM6 beta is better choice to avoid the issue. I use WM6 CE 5.2.1413 (internal 17913.0.3.0) rom 2.21.01 CHS (S-Chinese). I have not ocurred the issue you have mentioned. good luck.
So I put the new rom on my mogul. Love the gps. Love the task manager. However, I've run into a few problems that I would like to see if anyone else has encountered:
When i open an sms..it shows me the bottom of the screen..and not the message. not a deal breaker, but annoying.
i had just installed the rom. nothing on it... didn't even put my sd card in. soft reseted around five time to make sure... but when doing ABSO-FRICKING-LUTELY NOTHING the 68-78% of my program memory is occupied. wtf.
you too?
Right now, I have many many ways of turning on the GPS from standby.
So this is my fun part right now.
I got GPSGate, Google Map and AstroGPSLauncher to launch the GPS.
iGuidance 4 need alot of help to get going. iNAV need to work on this fast.
Other than that, it has been OK. I like the upload speed. It make my Remote Desktop more lively OK.
I think life is OK. This is something new on the Mogul, so I can understand it. It can only gets better.

SMS scrolling to the bottom upon opening a message is a known side-effect of the registry edit that changes the 4-way navigation button to scroll instead of tab to the next link on a page. HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\4-Way Nav; 0 will scroll (and open SMS messages at the bottom), 1 will tab
I am running the OEM 3.35 ROM, with all of the Sprint customizations, and on a fresh soft reset I have 22.56MB free memory. After a day of calls, text messages, and web surfing, I usually have 16 to 18MB free. Are you running the stock ROM or a custom ROM? Have you done any registry edits that would affect the free memory, such as changing cache sizes? Also, did you do an extra hard reset after flashing the ROM?
I am having none of the problems you are describing. Where is the option on the poll for "Yes, because these problems don't exist for the rest of us"?
Bump

I agree...new ROM great behavior...this is by far the best that Sprint has done thus far for the Titan, even stock it runs great. I just installed SPB and my memory stays at or near 18-20 and battery never dies on me.
"Yes, because these problems don't exist for me"
i updated wednesday and i use codyppc threaded sms so i dont know about the text prob. but i dont experience any different mem loss than Mario but i dont like that they integrated the tm into the rom cuz i didnt use that either but thats my only issue
well bah. i guess i get the "i just suck" title. i have a severe love hate relationship with this phone,. heh.
I know they worked when I first got the phone, because I played around with them a bit just to see what they could do. I rooted the phone a few days ago, I think it was Sunday, and then just earlier today I saw a thread about how to add other apps to Pen Window. So I installed BusyBox and Pen Window Manager to do so, added a few apps, restarted. Now when I bring up the Pen menu, clicking on Pen Window makes the usual sound and the menu disappears, but nothing happens. Same with Scrap Booker, but the other 3 work as they should. I don't know whether this is a recent change because I hadn't tried to use either of the two broken apps since just after I got the phone (Oct 10). How do I troubleshoot this? I have XPrivacy installed, I don't know if it's related to that, but the only thing I have restricted is Facebook. I also have App Settings for Xposed installed, but I don't think anything in there is changed that would relate to this issue. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Edit, Solved: Answered my own question. Went through Titanium Backup, where I was pretty heavy handed freezing apps I considered bloat. Unfroze any that might be related, and Pen Window and Scrap Book worked again. So I went through and refroze one-by-one until they stopped working again. "RakeIn 1.0" was the culprit that disabled both, so if you have a similar issue, make sure that is not frozen or deleted.

I did the exact same thing as you did... Rooted, froze a bunch of apps with TB, and lost pen window.
Thank you for supplying the fix!!
Cheers homie! :good:

Are you asking about it in relation to adding more apps to the Pen Window list? That went fine. Busybox installed without issue (well, I had an issue at first because XPrivacy had blocked some permissions from the installer and I didn't realize it, but that was an easy fix), as did the installation of Pen Window Manager. In the future, I hope to be able to have more control over how the Pen Window renders -- maybe with options to have minor cropping of specific apps in order to keep a more ideal aspect ratio, or have the window auto-adjust a bit to give a better aspect ratio. The main issue I have with Pen Window is just that it's too easy to have distortion by drawing the window even a little bit off of the ideal shape, and I'd rather not have to adjust the size manually to get text inside to look nice. But it's a very cool and useful feature still overall.
