Hi!
I really need help right now. This is second time my TyTN goes wild this way.
I can start machine allright and I can put PIN-code in but little bit after TyTN hangs totally. It does not respond to anything.
Even hard reset is difficult to do because you have to be so quick to push buttons before systems freezes.
There is no extreme programs or any changes made after last hard reset.
1. Can I do something now on the road?
2. What have I done wrong that it goes wild like this?
Please help ASAP if there is something to do now without HR.
I dont think the freeze can stop the hard reset ... You should be able to HR even when your TyTN is frozen till the ice ages ...
This is not the....
This is not the main issue. I can Hard Reset... but what went wron in the first place? And twice in one week.
Few decent program installations and using ActiveSync in two machines... I think that is the reason somehow... But how to prevent this happening constantly.
Most likely, one of your programs is screwing it up .. You need to figure out which one it is ... Setup one by one manually and see what happens ..
Also, try installing SPB Pocket Plus .. that has a manual safe startup mode .. see if you are able to start up your TyTN in the safe mode .. instead of doing a hard reset everytime ..

Just another thing to check along with suggestions above. Do you use a storage card. If so does it still hang with the card out. And secondly is there a decent amount of on board memory free.?

Had this happen on a Prophet it turns out it was one of the 3rd party software apps installed, the author updated it and no more issues.
I would bet the same thing is happening to you on the TyTn
yer i agree with mark i had same prob with my htc tytn turn out to be a 3rd party bluesnafing tool
What program that...
...might be?
Nothing starts on startup. I mean nothing special that my friend does not have. And he has no problems at all.
My guess still is that problem is ActiveSync. Because in freeze I can see part of ActiveSync window. And ActiveSync starts automatic...
Is there way to prevent ActuveSync on startup?
Thank you for your replys.

_mike_ I wouldn't be that dismissive of that advice. Usually, just where you think your sure you have everything covered in a particular area so theres no need to check, thats usually where your problem is.
The fact is that you and your friend have two different phones. Are the model numbers, lot numbers identical? Did you both in stall the exact same software with the exact same version numbers?
I'm guessing that you missed something there.
You need to be patient and thorough when figuring our these issues.
The best advice to find the answer to your problem has already been given.
Start with a base WM5 build and your ext ROM software. Remove your memory card.
Spend at least a day or two in base config. This will certainly tell you if its the phone or the software.
If your phone stays good, add one of your programs to the phone and wait another day.
repeat this until you find out what's causing the issue.
It's not quick or fast, but it's effective.
Good Luck!

Let us know how you make out.
So what happened with this issue?
Mine has started doing this right after I installed pRSSreader and subscribed to BBc news feed
I took out storage card, soft reset and was quick enough to disable the today screen plugin for the offending app and then uninstall now everything's okay.
Maybe problem was caused by installing pRSSreader to the storage card confused:

There was an issue with pRSSreader 1.3.2 I believe. It happened to me. I was able to disable the today plugin and recover, but it took a few tries. It's supposed to be fixed in the latest version.
Freeze TYTN
I had the same problem after installing Nots Push mail 3 party software.
Each SR make my TYTN freeze.
I have used Memmaid in order to remove it from the startup program
It has solved the problem
Mine hung after installing and uninstalling psShutXp. After uninstalling, I kept getting a notification error message whenever I turned it on concerning psShutXp. Then, it just locked up for good. No amount of soft resets, powering off/on helped. After a hard reset and reinstall of my favorite apps, back to working fine.
I do occassionally lock my phone by accident and I get a little freaked out the next time I use it because nothing works. Then, I realize what I did and that I'm a moron and everything's good again.

Just checked and that was the version I installed.
edit - according to their website 1.3.2 is the lates version
Hi,
I now have the same problem. I have only a view programs installed. Each softreset hangs at the windows mobile screen.
As I don't like a hard reset everytime, my workaround is to enter the bootloader and do a softreset from there...
Is it cleared in between, what is causing the hangs?
good night
dsp
Im getting a similiar problem with mine after not having added ANY new software recently. Mine hangs at the HTC screen, and no matter whether there is:
A) sim card and microSD card
B) microSD card only
C) sim card only
D) neither
in the machine, it still just hangs at the HTC screen on startup (regardless of whether its a soft or hard reset), and doesnt even make the startup tone, or play the animation, all it shows are a few digits and such in red at the beginning. PLEASE HELP!
Mine has it too
I know its a year later, but has anyone found an answer for the Freezing / not booting / not starting of the phone?
One reason is if you have a BS rom installed. You need to install a stock NBS rom (make sure radio is stripped out or you will have to reflash yours) the reflash your BS rom. Make sure you back-up your contacts and messages first.
Cheers...
Hey there guys.
Dropped the Uni and the screen fell off and smashed, its still conected via the wire, and i can still sync it to my pc.
However, I have stuff on there that i would like to keep, such as texts (sms), pic messages (mms). Idealy, i would like to be able to "image" it, like you do with a PC, then copy it onto the replacement phone (already sorted, under 24 hours with o2 insurance) so its exactly the same.
Is something like that possible? Bearing in mind i cant see/use the screen.
Ive tried to find a screen control app, but they all the ones I have found require you to run something on the device, which i cant do.
If it helps, its running WM6 and im running Vista.
Any help at all would be really appreciated
Thanks,
Chris
hm
dw, i gave up and just put everyhting back on there.
Have a Vario II with WM6 installed, works great but the screen alignment keeps changing all the time. need constantly go to Settings - System - Screen to align it again. What could cause this? The screen is kept clean with no scratches etc...
Digitiser could be going, You may need to replace lcd. If I was you I'd download "Remote Screen Alignment" and install to pc to keep your alignment settings on your pc. It won't fix the alignment problems but if your touchscreen does go and you try to hard reset or install new rom you'll be able to use the Hermes as you can restore the alignment settings from the pc. It'll keep you up and running until you get a replacement lcd(worst case scenario, Its better to have it with the alignment settings then to have to find someone with the same phone to retrieve the settings from).
Cheers...
you mean its soon time to retire my old Vario... II. too bad my laptop hard drive crashed a while ago and im only running linux ubuntu now... wont be able to connect Vario to it!
any other way to do it... please?
i dont want to loose this phone, or upgrade it as have a great deal wit t-mobile still...
thanks
check forum, you may be able to connect to linux. Not sure if Remote screen alignment will work though.
On Aussie ebay, a replacement LCD cost $70Aud including postage. I'd still look at that and see if you think its worthwhile fixing. You could also try to buy a "broken" Hermes off ebay, I've bought 2 (about $120Aud each) and so far there was nothing wrong with either. Ended up cannobilizing my old Jasjam.
Just a thought....
Cheers....
software test screen align
hi, all, i don't know if this thread is correct to insert my request.. but i try.. in this video http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=qPadyM66fDs the user open a software for test screen align.. anyone know what software is it?
thanks in advance
sorry for my english but i am italian...
Hello!
I'm new here and I was looking through several pages and topics but couldn't find a solution to my problem.
My touchscreen isn't usable anymore. It seems completely undamaged but I can't press anything anymore. I did a soft reset, without SIM card, with SIM card, without "SD?"card, with "SD?" card, etc... Nothing worked. I plan to do a Hard reset and if that doesn't work I have to contact my retailer. I cannot backup my data (Adresses, numbers, etc) because last time I connected the phone to the PC I choose "work as a storage device" and as my touchscreen isn't working I cannot choose the option "use ActiveSync" anymore...
Now I need a way to backup my data - somehow! I downloaded MyMobiler cause I've found a topic here with the similar problem where this was recommended. But this program also uses an ActiveSync connection. I hope to get the download link for "PocketController" but I doubt that it will be useful in my case. I could send the phone to the retailer and they would do the hardreset for me. They could try to recover as much data as possible. They said it would cost something like 20 bucks. My problem is that I'm not sure that all the data on the phone is allowed to have (like i.e. TomTomNavigator cracked and stuff like that). So I don't really want these guys to see all the data they recover...
I'm really desperate and need help. Please.
Thank you in advance

Hi
As you have "work as a storage device" on your phone can you see mobile device in your pc root when connected ?
r
Andrew
Yes! I can see the mobile device on my pcroot. I can see it as "mobile device" with the symbol of a cellphone. And I can see the "SD?"-Card as a storage device... when I click on the phone-symbol it opens another window but nothing's there.
I can open the storage device and there's everything in it that is on my SD Card but no adresses, numbers, etc.
Yes testing I can only see my SD card unfortunately you need Active Sync to see your device on your pc
Going to have another search because i am sure I have seen a solution posted.
r
Andrew
Yes that would be great. I'm searching all the time, but I can't find anything that could help me....
It seems that it's very hard to find a way to backup data without ActiveSync...
Eagerly waiting
Pete
Pete
I have searched and had no luck.
It maybe worth addressing the screen problem again.
Several people have suggested taking the battery out for a day and even putting the phone in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Don't laugh the freezer trick worked for me !
Just be sure to wrap in tissue etc. to dry the the condensation out when removing.

Hi sorry to doble post, and to bring back this old thread.
did you manage to backup your contacts?
i have the exact same problem.
screen unresponsive for the 3d time...
last use with the computer was a storage device.. so no way to choose active sync...
any help is welcomed..
just remove your microSD and next time you connect to the PC the phone will automatically select activesync.
Thanks for the quick reply!
I am going to try that on the computer i use to backup regulary as soon i am home.
one extra dumb question.. once i have the sync done.. how to put that on an android phone?
is there going to be a particular file to grab or ..it is going to be like hell hehehe.
I will google it for the answer also, jsut in case
I had put a pattern lock on my HTC HD2 but my phone went dead and after I put it in charge and turned it on the phone won't accept the right password like it doesn't recognize it ... so now im locked outta my phone . I know how to do a factory reset , but i dont wanna erase everything ..
I heard a whole bunch of stuffs and people everywhere be saying that they haven't heard any other way then the master reset to unlock the phone so I was wondering is there any other way I can unlock the phone without having to do a master reset cause I haven't backing up my datas on the phone yet and since it's locked now it doen't even allow me now to do any kind of synchronization on my pc. So since yall are the experts on that matter please help me cause I'm afraid of losing all my informations on the phone and it has been about two weeks now since I put the phone on a corner somewhere unuseful and waiting for an answer.
thanks already guys !
Unfortunately, there is no way out other than a reset. Sucks to hear I know. However, yank the SD card out first, at least you wont lose anything that's on that.
Going forward, you can use the built in Microsoft MyPhone to sync backups to your live account. Or any other number of backup software that's out there. You can also set your phone and video to save to the SD card.
Sorry man, it's the most frustrating thing about this phone.
Yea that is so frustrating ... but is there any way that I can back up my datas before i perform that master reset cause I have never back them up before and everything is saved on the phone even my contacts cause as the phone locked right now it seems impossible to me to do anything at all. Anytime I'm trying to synchronize the datas on my pc it won't let me and said "your phone is locked authenticate your phone first". So is there any way out ?

Unfortunately that's one of the bugs, that the lock screen will no longer function correctly, you won't be able to get in, ever, sorry
i think i know why it happens, at least for me...
seems whenever i install certain cabs, then uninstall them, this happens. most recently has been a swype cab i found off here, was the latest version for t-mobile hd2s. it installed fine and worked fine, but when i removed it, it caused the issue. i reformatted and only installed that cab, setup a pin, rebooted, worked, uninstalled the swype cab, rebooted, broke-wouldn't take the pin.
so maybe it has something to do with using non stock roms and using different kinds of cabs or something...
Just happened to me last week due to a forced server exchange policy.
Hard reset is it. Confirmed by HTC.
Known bug with no fix on the way it seems.
same happended to me...and still looking to fix it
i already did the reset they told not to put a password on my phone
so im lookin if they find a fix so i can use password
