Okay, so yesterday i installed Skyfire and SPB Insight. It was allright, reboot was fine, but i didn't like the software so i uninstalled them.
After that, the phone works fine, then i reboot it and it just doesnt reboot. It passed the SE logo, Xperia splash, and the Windows Mobile Logo. It then stops while loading my today plugin. Nothing i can do about it.
I reset it through the reset button, and it only managed to load my phone 1 time out of 5 reboot. By now im thinking that it there were conflict with my plugin after that uninstall so i just Hard Reset my phone, and load the backup from SPB (only contact, task, email and messages, no program)
It then goes well, until the problem happened again
I had less software installed (didn't use a lot of it last time around) and all the software i have now was just fine when i had them installed in my phone a while ago. So whatever the problem was, it survived through hard reset. Unfortunately
I suspect this has something to do with today screen. All plugin that i have now (added one) are SPB Wireless monitor, SPB Backup, Beejive. I only use SPB wireless as my plugin, the rest is not.
So what should i do now? What might be the problem? Im on R1A, so i suspect it might be a bug, and im hanging on to wait till R3A comes out...or should i just flash custom ROM?
If anybody could shed some light on this, i would be very gratefull.

Sheen
give the battery the full " charge "
Have you checked |START|SETTINGS|PERSONAL|TODAY|ITEMS| to make sure your today screen items are checked?
@lakeg
Full charge?
Its not about the battery....the phone has no problem with hardware, it just stucks in that today screen unable to load the plugin
Any idea?

Yes, i did unchecked the Skyfire and SPB insight before i uninstalled them.
After Hard Reset i only have the Date, SPB Wireless, Messages, Calendar, and Lock device checked.
Also i might add, after i unsinstalled them my today screen was behaving weird. The today items that i use was swapping order, i tried to change them around again, soft reset, and the problem happened

If you are still having problems after a hard reset (|START|SETTINGS|SYSTEM|CLEAR STORAGE|) there might have been a change to your registry which is stuffing things up. Might be best to reflash your rom or flash a new one (Touch-It 7.1 is great!)

I did the hard reset via the hardware button method. Is there any different with the Clear Storage method?
And correct me if im wrong, but through hard reset isn't that means that we "reset" everything back to factory state? i mean the registry should just be reset back to default isn't it?
I'll hang on a bit while waiting for R3A, if it doesn't come out in 2 weeks or so i'll probably flash one of itje's ROM...but again, how about the change in registry that stuffed my phone up?
confusing

Not sure if it makes any difference what so ever. I also don't know if registry changes revert back after a hard reset. It just seems odd that you are still having issues after a hard reset...
Anyway... nothing a new rom won't fix.
Goodluck with it

alrighty then, thanks for ur help then mate
just an update on my problem,
It seems that the culprit behind it all is my provider. Yes, u read it right...the provider. My Cellular provider has been having problem lately with their services. Dropped calls, late sms, and most annoying of all a slow/barely useable internet conection. The signal would shows that its fine, but in reality it doesn't. It just shows that i have signal but the network sometimes doesnt work.
This i think might be the problem why my phone stuck on today screen. It sometimes shows that i have no signal and then just freeze, or it sometimes shows that i have signal but freeze anyway. My solution to this is that i put my phone into flight mode every time i want to soft reset it, no problem so far....it goes away smoothly into the today screen.
i'll keep u guys updated if this method fails
Nope...it still doesnt work...
i hard reset my phone twice today because the problem still persist....its driving me nuts
Can anybody help? please....
All i can do now is wait patiently for R3A and hope it'll fix this problem....if not, im giving up on my X1...so frustrating...

This is really weird: some 4 weeks ago it happened that my phone passoword on my first HD2 self-changed , after battery went very low...Initially I though my daughter intercepted my pwd and changed, but this cannot be, since too young (6 y.o.) and she never playd with it...I used a four digit phone password: 1357
A message says: " the password you typed is incorrect" and prompt me to re-enter
I had to hard reset...
2.
some 3-4 days ago, my second HD2 went under the same issue: while battery was low (under 8%) I changed the battery with a fresh one. Then the password -self changed!
I did a hard reset
Details of both my HD2s:

HD Blackstone
Now few minutes ago, after I installed swype keyboard cab, my third phone (a HD phone, NOT HD2) auto-changed its password!
Same problem
Questions:
1. Am I running crazy or is this a known issue?
2. Is there a Virus which is known to cause such an effect, on WM phones?
Currently I do not use any AV on my Phones. I use kaspersky 9.x on my laptop
Thanks a lot and waiting
Saulo
one more detail: now my HD is NOT accessible anymore...so I am trying to type different pwds: the result is that sometimes the phone is silent (the message "the password you typed is incorrect" does not appear).
Some other times a new message asks to input this sequence: a1b2c3, before I am enabled to re-enter my lost pwd...
Please help...
Saulo
For the first 2 I don't know, did you properly turn the phone off before removing battery, or did you just take it out without a ful shutdown?
About the 3rd one, which Swype version have you used? see this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639901&highlight=swype
well, in the case of HD (NOT HD2), the issue just happened few minutes ago: battery was 40%. I simply installed swype 3.9. Then the software asked for restart.
I did it (Software restart)
Then the password changed on its own...I am really scared of this phenomena, which I never had during last 8 years of using Windows Mobile phones...all this nightmare started 4 weeks ago.
Thanks and waiting for your feedback

There is a cure: MTTY your phone and flash a ROM that has Swype 3.9 included. No problem.
Quite a few great ROMs do, including both variants of OzROM. I'm using one myself, and Swype 3.9 works flawlessly on it.
Dear Donald
Thas for your advice1
MTTY: I have read and it looks rather complicated...if I flash with a Stock ROM (like 1.48) and then with a cooked ROM which includes SWYPE will it be the same?
besides: Why do I need MTTY, since except this pwd auto-change issue I am experiencing no other flaws?
Thanks and waiting for your suggestions

There are many reports of HD2s suddenly "forget" the password in this Forum but the actual cause(s) is still unknown. Some said it's bcoz of Swype, whereas for me it happened after resetting for a registry tweak but pretty sure that it's a bug/problem related to the WinMo phone lock. Now I've switched to S2U2 lock which works fine so far (still with Swype in my HD2).
Dear Byron
1.
Thanks for your insight: can you expand your feedback on S2U2? I would like to hear from you, before switching from default device LOCK 4 digit password (which would be more than enough for me) to this new utility.
2.
In my case HD2 DID NOT forget! If so the device would be unlocked. No, the device CHANGED the device lock code! Terrible. I needed to perfomr a hard reset in order to access my phone again, thus I was luck I had done a backup few days ago. I only lost 3 days of new contacts and SMS/emails.
Thank you and waiting
Saulo
To me this is not new. To provide a slightly different perspective, my previous phone to this was the ETEN M700 phone (under WinMo 6.1). That Windows lock-password change occasionally disappears when I either swap batteries or soft-reset the phone.
No surprises to hear that it might happen in HTC HD2, which is why I'm wary of installing a Windows lock password to it.
I've just had it happen to me.
In my case I am using ozrom with swype cooked in.
Interesting I noticed something extra that hasn't been mentioned.
I powered my phone off properly last night and when I switched it on in the morning the first thing that came up was an activesync prompt asking me to enter my new activesync password.
The password on the domain that I sync with hasn't changed. Upon attempting to enter the domain password, the normal phone lock comes up and simply won't accept any passwords - even after the a1b2c3 prompt.
So to me it looks like its not just loosing the phone password but something in the password store is being completely corrupted and only a hard reset and setting everything up again clears it :/
Gah!
It happened again! I was just tweaking the last few settings and the phone wanted a soft reboot. When it came back it wouldn't accept my pin
This time swype was not enabled. Installed, yes. Enabled, no!
I had an O2 XDA (Orbit II I think) before this and never had a single problem with the lock. Then again I never flashed it with a cooked rom...
I resolved by disabling the windows default lock and using S2U2...very good applications, but not really a full locking application.
Thank you
Saulo
I'm using S2U2 at the moment. It hasn't solved the phone losing its passwords (it lost the ActiveSync password when I turned it on this morning).
It does mean that I don't have to hard reset it when it does loose the password though.
I have also noticed that S2U2 doesn't stop the phone from being accidentally turned off by the power button being held down whilst its in my pocket though.

Has anyone had problems with swype 3.9 if the phone is not locked with a PIN?
I have seen reports with passwords for email accounts being lost, and the pin for locking the phone being changed. But I have not seen anyone having problems if they did not lock the phone...

It is important to point out that in my case swype was cooked into the rom and installed, but not enabled. I have not actually used swype.
What I have now done is used mtty before reflashing the phone and the phone has now been stable since I did it on Saturday..fingers crossed as I had done everything else before including a hard reset after flashing the phone.
Edit:
i do not have swype nor did i ever have it installed. I have only tweaked my phone through the registry and never had a problem. MY phone has run down passed critical multiple times and never had a problem until i did a battery pull today without shutting down the phone. It has been downhill from there
End Edit
Has anyone solved this problem yet?
If not, if i reset my phone what will i lose?
Also this seems pretty scary; so how can i lock someone out the phone without locking myself out? I dont want a silly slidelock that doesnt secure my device from unauthorized personnel.
Thanks in advance
the password reset is the same for he TP2/Tilt2's. i had to bootload and reflash to fix the problem
Need Help ASAP!, I cant even slide to unlock when it first starts.
It has always been crashing, and i have disabled my emails, and hardly have any programs and still. After all the patches and updates no change!
tried soft reset, took the battery out 1000 times.
this has happened to me for the second time in 3 months.
I did a hard reset last time to fix the problem, but i have to much valuable info, new contacts, notes, sms etc....
Is there anything else i can do to fix this problem, without a hard reset!
I cant take this phone anymore, it is horrible!
unlikely that you can fix it without hard reseting in one form or another.
rather than worrying about fixing it, first look into backing up your stuff, and then start looking at the freezing problem.

I think its the rom problem... next time you may choose a rom carefully... How to select a rom is a tough work... You could try to backup your files first...
Do the hardware buttons work?
My phone froze but it was a broken touch screen, fixed under warranty.

I am sorry that you are having the problem.
But it is not the phone. That I can be sure.
If you have modified the phone in anyway, some where along the line, something has gone wrong.
I used to have to hard reset many times when i got my first Windows Mobile Phone ( 2nd Generation HTC Tilt ).
I then went to the HTC Pure, and now I have the HD2.
It is a learning curve when you start adding programs and tweaks.
It takes time, trial, and more time.
I can tell you that I had to hard reset the HD2 just once.
I have over 200 tweaks, registry changes, programs, etc. The phone works great.
I now have learned to back up the system and registry just in case.
And pick and choose programs carefully. Buy only the ones you need.
Dont give up on the phone. Good luck.

Is the phone stock, or have you made modifications? When on and connected with usb to a pc, does active sync start on the pc? you may have to hard reboot: read: always make backups to the sd card (PIM backup, sktools, sprite backup, etc.) of critical data as soon as it hits your phone. If you are miserable with what you have on your phone, change it. I fell in love (from hate) with my HD2 when MIRI_DINIK V 17.0 WWE gave it a new soul. good luck.
Hello everyone, I've got an interesting problem that I want the experts here at XDA to help me troubleshoot. Feel free to ask questions as I know there's probably a million variables at this point with stuff installed, uninstalled, gps, root, task killers, etc.
alrighty with that said, I did the e-wrecked gps fix (changing the operation mode and server location+port). That seems to work great in terms of time to lock on my position as well as improved accuracy. Over the next couple of days I noticed some really choppy and lengthy phone start ups after the fix.
Eventually it got to (and currently is at) a point where it kept rebooting the phone, or at least touchwiz. It would load up, scan media, search for the network, do all the start up stuff, then lock up, and turn the screen off. Hitting the lock button/power button does nothing while it resets itself. Then it resets to the lock screen, the screen lights up and it goes into "searching" for the tmo network while doing the storage preparations, and other boot up stuff. It does not restart from cold (with the vibrant, tmo, and galaxy animations, only the lock screen and OS boot process)
Anyone else got any funky restarts going on, for whatever reason? I basically want to start seeing what would trigger this behavior. I started uninstalling stuff one by one trying to figure out why its doing that but sometimes it boots up fine, sometimes it boots but doesn't ever find tmo's network, and sometimes it just does the above.
Observations:
1. It will always boot up fine if the SIM card is out.
2. The last time it did it was today while I was at work, listening to music while the phone was charging. Im noticing that the phone gets pretty hot while charging and really hot if you're using while its charging (getting apps, surfing the web, playing games, etc)
So any thoughts from the tech gurus here? anyone have similar behavior in the past on other phones? is the heat affecting the sim card negatively? I can (and have) put my simcard back in my treo 680 backup phone with no issues whatsoever.
New observation, it consistently does the reset process as soon as the "Adjust Time and Date" as it registers/syncs with the network.
UPDATE: so, i did some research, ended up at the setCPU thread and saw that when set to OnDemand some people's phones experienced similar tendencies. Problem is, mine was already set to auto-detect and "Conservative". I un-checked start at boot, and tried again. Same problem. I uninstalled setCPU completely and my phone appears to be back to normal.
I'll update again if anything changes.
so one of the things that i removed during my troubleshooting was my corporate exchange account. When i added it back. it did its initial sync fine and gave me my calendar and contacts. I then rebooted and the problem came back.
I removed the account and rebooted. it went through two cycles of the restarts and on the third one, it worked. I left it alone after that.
I then was showing my friend some things (browser differences) and had 3 browsers open. It froze as i went to close Dolphin HD. Rebooted and now its back to the cycle.
Mine did this also. Installed several apps, woke up to find a slow phone. Resets galore. A quick reset to defaults and app restore fixed it, sans setcpu of course.
From XDA App on SGS-Vibrant
my phone resets itself also as described above, but not really doing anything in particular. i dont have a whole lot of apps installed. i even was using google maps the other day and after it started up the screen went black and the device was unresponsive until the screen came back and it said searching and the media scanner was running.
well first off thanks for responding lol. i thought i was by myself out here.
secondly, i found that if i leave it alone and let it go through its cycle, it does eventually boot up ok (this is recently, before, it was endless). i havent restarted my phone (im afraid to lol) since it did it on its own yesterday (showing my friend the browsers).
since yesterday, i've used it for navigation (motonav), serveral installs, downloaded podcasts, rss feeds, etc and its been ok (even while charging and wifi on). again, havent actually restarted it since yesterday because its actually functioning for once.
Lastly, i unchecked the auto update time and date from network in the settings just to see if that makes a difference because based on previous expereience that is the point where it freezes and resets. Thanks for chiming in and let me know if there's any other advice you have
I'd suggest a reset as mentioned above.
Been checking out this site for awhile but this is my first time posting, today my phone started to have this problem and it just bootloops touchwiz if i have a simcard in the phone.
It works fine without a simcard but my problem is it will not let me turn of auto update of time and date, i have tried disabling this setting and it just enables itself again. I have also noticed that if I started messing around with time and date settings even without a sim touchwiz reloads once. I guess im gonna give a reset a go.

sorry, noob question (i came from winmo and a touch pro 2), what does "a quick reset to defaults" mean? is that like a factory wipe i.e. phone will be brand new again, gotta root again and reinstall everything, change settings, etc?

Root will stick but settings and apps/app data will be gone. It briefs you on what is and isn't lost when you do a factory reset.
Smae problem, its setcpu!
SetCPU with any settings will do this.
It needs an update, the auto detect some how loses and
will set the cpu to 19mhz max and min.
This is too slow to process. I rebooted and pressed settings and uninstalled it
while I could. Seems to behave once out of touchwiz.
For me it was another app not setcpu I never used it. After i did a reset i restored all my apps with titanium backup and once i restarted my phone it looped again. So i did another restore and left off all the apps that i installed right before the problem started and so far i think for me at least one of these caused it
Google maps update
google translate
the extra language pack for translate
barnacle wifi tether
hero of sparta
these are apps that I installed right before the problem happened and without these my phone works fine I am going to see if i can find that one that caused my problem.
It's not the maps update because my phone works fine with it.
It was hero of sparta a gameloft game from there web market funny thing is its suppose to work on the vibrant while dungeon hunter which works fine would only give nexus as a check out option. Anyway im going to try to get a refund tomorrow.
I get the same touchwiz reboot but for me it has only ever happened while using google maps. I do not use set cpu, but I have applied the gps fix. It is more than a little annoying. I have done a system wipe but the problem persists.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
yes, if you have setcpu, uninstall it - its buggy with the galaxys
- sometimes you can't wake your phone (if you set a screen off profile), forcing you to do a battery pull
- constant launcher restarts

anyways i just installed barnacle wifi tether yesterday so thats not it either (at least for me). That leaves the google stuff, out of the apps in your list, all of which were installed when i first got the problem, and are still on there after I've removed setCPU

ok so, contacts, text messages, etc stay? Meaning if i do a factory reset, root stays, and all app stuff can be taken care of by, say, AppBrain since it has a running list of everything installed and knows where to get it to install it again? I apprecicate the advice, but this would still be a last resort sort of thing. my phone has worked fine for the past few days but I also havent restarted it yet either
just a quick update, my phone still does this if i reboot my phone (which is never now that i got my 32gb sd card), but for the first time ever hero of sparta caused it to happen while the phone is on. I uninstalled it so we'll see.
No, this is not a one time thing, and I'm not talking about internet passwords.
My HD2 is literally forgetting my unlock code.
Background: This happens roughly once a month. There's been no consistencies with the problem (different ROMs, even). What happens is, I will turn on my device (or soft reset), and when the lock screen appears, it will repeatedly tell me my password is incorrect. After a while, it will stop telling me my password is incorrect, and simply do nothing when I click the unlock button.
Soft-reset, pulling the battery, removing the SIM, etc, does not help. Every boot after the boot it forgets my password gives me the same results.
My password has been the same all three times this has happened, and the only way around it is a hard reset. I'm trying to find a solution to this, as it is very aggravating to keep losing all my data.
If you have any questions, let me know. And thanks for your help!
it used to happen to me too....so stopped using the password thingy. try pocketshield its an excellent alternative.
i remember reading in several similar posts that (some versions of) swype are known to cause this issue. i believe the safest way to install swype, if you are so inclined, is to install it FIRST, and THEN set up your PIN.
still, if you are not using swype, your issue does sound like the weirdest of the bunch!

Nope, I don't even have Swype installed...
What's weird is, it's not after installing anything. The phone will literally work for days, and then after a soft reset, locks me out.
Checking out Pocketshield, looks like it might be a better solution.
