Hi Guys,
This is my first post as I usually never have any problems sorting my issues out due to this great forum.
I am using HTC Touch HD (Originally UK Orange now flashed with [ROM][WWE][22.08.2009] Miri WM 6.5 23017 :: MANILA 2.5 :: REV 7.1
My problem is discribed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471267
I sync my calendar and contacts with gmail and basically it is clear that when adding contacts to the favourites screen this causes an error. The error is the one described in the other thread.
"There has been a change on your server that requries you to re-synchronize all items on your device. You may lose changes since your last successful sync"
I have tried all the things suggested in the previous thread and have also tried using NuevaSync but again I still get the same error message.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a registry setting to disable the field that the favourites screen is using and syncing with?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Keep up the good work everyone!
since this is your first post, we'll cut you some slack. your best bet for finding a solution (if you haven't done so already) is to post your issue/concern/problem in Miri's ROM thread. he is very good about responding to users and reported issues. hope you get your issue resolved.
haha thanks for cutting me some slack. Last night I flashed with Duttys HD Leo R4 and this problem still occurs under exactly the same conditions.
So it would now be pointless to post in MIRI's rom thread as this isn't only happening on his ROM.
Any other suggestions or a point in the right direction would be good?
Cheers

is it pointless to ask? the ROMs have similar functionality, but come from different components. i'd still ask if could be fixed with a registry edit and/or if he knows why the problem occurs. the worst you'll get is a NO. your choice.
haha good point. I have done some more searching and know that when you add a contact to the favourites tab it creates a field in the contactdatabase called HTCFavorite. Obviously Google don't have this field which is what is causing the problem. The only solution would be to somehow stop activesync from syncing this field. Does anyone know if its possible to select which fields are sync'd during an activesync? Potentially a registry setting or xml file?
I had this problem and after some hunting around found it was most likely to be caused by an interaction between Active-sync and Pocket Outlook, I stopped syncing the Email with active-sync over two months ago and have not had it happen since (previously had it happen twice over three days)
Not a complete solution since you loose the Active-sync email, but stopped having to have a complete re-sync and lose the contacts/HTC Favorites connection all the time.
After messing about last night I created a group in my google contacts called HTC Favorite. I then assigned contacts one by one to this group in the order I want them to appear. After about 10 syncs these appear on my device and no server changes error to report as of yet. While this is not ideal it has certainly worked but I may remove the partnership until this issue is resolved if ever!
Thanks for all your help

Hi, there!
I'm having a nasty problem with my TD2 and have no idea what is going on.
The phone is working fine with the stock tom or any Manila 2.1/Titanium cooked rom.
The problem begins with any Manila 2.5 rom (believe me I tested them all).
I use activesync to synchronize my contacts, calendar and mail with Gmail. My typical contact consists of a name,surname, phone number,mail, birthday and a picture downloaded from facebook automatically.
Now when I flash a 2.5 rom, I do a hard reset two times, and synchronize with activesync. Then I go to the people tab to add favorites.
I add the first - everything is fine.
Second - ok
Third and manila dies completely after I select a particular detail on a contact.
I can go to start menu, lock the phone etc, but cannot return to home screen. After reseting the phone, everything is fine until I go to the people tab - selecting this hangs Manila.
Sometimes after doing a reset the people tab works but adding another favorite hangs it again.
What could cause this?
No idea what could cause, but the favourites I set up in manila 2.1 (and synced with Outlook) automatically come up when I first sync 2.5 with Outlook. I don't need to add them...
Might be some incompatibility with syncing to GMAIL
Hi all,
I have had manila freezing problems on past few roms on namely,
XannyTech's 1.0, 1.1,
PDAVIET - v5, v7
(i mention these because i have flashed only these, not others, so this solution could be for other roms too).
Though both these roms are beautifully made up, i had severe manila freezing problems. i didnt install much, but still it occured, and always it happened shortly after i flashed.
Now i had overlooked the exact happening of it, and finally was able to see it happen.
This freezing of manila is happening due to addition of a POP/IMAP MAIL ACCOUNT only. (in reference to my case) And i have been successful in confirming this as i am able to recreate this problem.
I have added a hotmail account too, but that doesn't disturb the manila at all, but only the pop/imap mail account is troubling it.
When the Manila freezes, i am still able to go to the start menu, and from there to MAIL, and then i delete the pop mail account, and soft reset. Everything is back to normal, and the phone works beautifully!
I have been having this problem within a short time of flashing the rom, as i always sync and download my mails immediately after flashing so i can be on the move.
This solution is there, but the lack of having my pop mail on my phone is becoming a problem to me as its my business mail.
Request to Chefs: Can you please try and see if it also happens with you?
I can confirm that the following softwares are NOT the ones creating problem...
S2U2,
Showcase,
I hope this is helpful to all! and i hope the great Chefs here help in overcoming this problem.
I had no problems with manila freezes on pdaviet v5 and v6 with gmail account.
as i said mate, its happening mostly with private business domain pop/imap mail accounts mainly.
Can you try installing a business mail domain on it and see if it freezes?
I will try tomorow at work.
I have the problem you mentioned, but I can not said you is for the POP3 mail account. Manila in several ROMS freezing and go back to prove another ROM in order to have the HD2 OK. Next time I'll flash I not going to install the mail to know if the right problem.
I have IMAP for AOL & pop3 for hotmail installed on various ROM's & no freezing. I have been using Sense on both the HD2 & Xperia for a long time. I think you're on the wrong track. I did encounter freezing with Showcase. I am interested to know what makes you think that it's not this. I take it you have Showcase installed?
Weepatc, i have showcase installed, and working smoothly.
i have set hotmail and gmail accounts and both working fine.
now i have a couple of business domain. and ONLY when i set them up, do i encounter Manila to freeze up for good.
The moment i remove those accounts from the email settings, all is back to normal.
i have tried out this process about 6-7 times to reconfirm if that is what causing the hangups, and that is what caused it all the time.
Maybe u should try to flash a rom, then setup emails without installing showcase. I had a problem with this app on some roms, especially the new ones with start button at tho bottom.

Are your email accounts set up to retrieve email automatically. If so, it might be an idea to set it up for manual Send/Recieve & try that.
I also have freezing issue but ramdomly and suddenly. I tried XannyTech ROM 1. 0 and 1.1
any workaround ?

I think he is on the right track with this. I have been having the same issues and after setup mail with Seven (www.seven.com). It seems to occurred when setting up Push e-mail for POP or Exchange.
However, I am only observing this issue with the 28XXX and the 235XX builds (basically anything using 6.5.X UI.) It does not occurred with 218XX builds which just 6.5 UI.
I aggree something bogus is happening, i was fine on miri 1.0 6.5.x with exchange and hotmail, no freezes, upgraded to xanytech evolution rc1....freezes like a mofo, also got freezing on miri 1.1 but i think that may have been down to something else
Hi there...
i'm just using HD2Owners Roms...
have also the Manilla freezes...
since i'm not using pop3 or Imap ... only Exchange sync!!!
Startmenü still available... just got into the orignal Windows Settings (thanks to B&B Tweaks... to have a option to enable this..)
so just got into the home settings, and disable and renable sense...
then sense isnt freezing...
i had many programm now in focus.. the last one was fpsece... but i didn't have installed this cab right now and sense still freezing from time to time... but not everytime... so no guess whats the real problem....
I'm going to try flashing back to stock then flashing again, this has happened before on other devices, flashing from custom rom to custom rom, it might be worth a shot, its only going to take 10mins, i'll try tonight and post my results.

Cool, so now more and more people are experiencing the same problem. Atleast now we know what is causing the problem, so its easier to search for a solution.
Coming to think of it, this problem is cropping up only on the Manila 2.5.1922 version.
I think we should request some chefs to make a rom with the old 1921 manila.
look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5308280&postcount=164
my "story"
maybe it has something to do with manilla customizing...
same issue here with WM 6.5.x office 2010beta
I think manilla freezes like you describe in circumstances where the installed software makes a change to manilla in some way.
I have had the same problems when installing the HTC Network plugin, because it adds the network plugin option to the Other settings tab within manilla. I have also been able to repeat this fault consistently, and has always requred a hard reset to rectify.
However, from what i can gather, it is something that only applys to Manilla 1922 as opposed to 1921, which is a real pain when everyone seems to be using 1922 in their roms now.
i use 1922 in my rom and never had a freeze

The question for you is: are you doing any e-mail (pushing or pop) with it. Are you also using it on HD2 device. I have used Manila all day today with no lockups or freezes, however I have not setup any of my e-mail stuff. I did installed my applications and still no issues. I will soon setup my e-mail and then freezes are guaranteed
if i hit call a contact from the sense tab it can take sometimes about 20 seconds til the phone dials.
i just flashed another radio and still having the issue.
ideas?
also happens sometimes if i hit someone on the recent call list on the dialer. but if i dial a number it goes automatically
Happens to me too
+1
It happens to me too
out of curiosity try removing the storage card perform a soft reset and see if this makes a difference
think thats not a radio problem, its a ROM/manila problem, as you told.
which rom version do you have?
which manila version?
any manila mod installed?
DN41
I am having same problem.
do you have email setup ? gmail, ActiveSync ?
try this: delete the email sync. ( acount settings)
the problem is with the email tabof people tabs. manila is doing a lookup of emails of the contact and is slowing down ...
try , it works for me, but is not a solution , I need emails on my phone
upsurge
im on elegancia 2.5 (not the newest)
manilla is 2.4.20121412.1
radio is 2.09.50.29_2
deleted gmail disabled email tab then soft reset and its still lagging

Disabling only does not work, you have to delete the Email Sync of Gmail. Sync just the contacts.. It should be fast!

I have same problem. Takes ages to actually start dialling once tapping a sense tab contact. Am using Duttys HG 2.6 rom.
Hi
I have open a POLL to see how many people are having this issue..

i dont have any sync on my phone it was just regular gmail to get email not sync contacts or anything
Hi
I will gift with 100€ for the first chef that can Fix this (using 2.5.2x manila & VM 6.5.x)
I have found a problem with Manila 2.5.2x (manila 2.5.19211619 does not have this problem)
I have test several custom rom with manila 2.5.2x and all of them has the same problem
For sure I have MTTY, Hard Reset Etc on every new Flash.
These are the problems (400 contacts and 40 emails)
1.- Open Sence/manila "All People"
2.- Select a contact, Go to Email Tab of the contact .. Very slow
3.- pusht Back--- Slow
4.- Open a Contact and select a Diferent Call Number that the default, it takes 10sec to dial
Now:
Go to ActiveSync Options and Deselect (emails)
Do the same 1 to 4... FAST!!!
remenber this is only happeing when you sync Contacts and Emails with Exchange.
The problem is that everytime you open a contact it lookups for the emails and this slowdown everything
Is there anyway to avoid to do the lookups of emails?? It should just lookup for emails when I select the Email Tab(stock Rom does it) of the contact but not every time I open ALL People or a single contact or I want to select a diferent Number.
Any Idea of a Hack??? or a way to fix??
UPDATE 1:
I have open a "Request" on the forum to see if some expert can help us
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=676527
Update 2:
any rom (stock or Custom) with Manila Build 2.5.19211619 works fast.. No problem with contacts so is a Manila 2.5.2x Problem..
Update 3:
Temporal Trick : I have move all the email fields of the contacts to the Notes field and now "All people" is fast! not a good solution but at least I can use my phone with contacts and Emails
Iosu
Thanks!!
Hi..
I'm the only one with this problem???

I have the same problem but not with Exchange but with synching with Lotus Notes Traveller.
This is why I am still using Duttys ML WWE 1.5 because on this one it working like on stock roms.

I used about 30 different cooked ROMs on my LEO and i doesnt have this problems... Syncing with Exchange 2007 emails, contacts, calendar and tasks.

thanks! I will try ..
btw, did you ask to dutty if he knows a solution?
Yes I have asked Dutty and he was so kind and made a quick test rom but also no change.
Normlay the stock roms have .NET 2.0 and I install .NET 3.5 so I was thinking that maybe there is the root cause for the behaviour, but the old WWE 1.5 from Dutty has also .NET 3.5 integrated.
Could it have something to do with policies, safety features, certificates which are missing in a cooked rom and left behind for space and speed reasons?
We have now for test purpose a new sync software installed - msuite - to see if this is changing. I have to test till end of this months but I am traveling next week and need a working phone.

Hi
any chef jump on this???
Thanks!
It seem that there are more people affected by the same problem.
Issue seems to be related to the latest manila versions 2.5.2012. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=669324
Older manila 2.5.1920 does not show this contact lockup issue.
Those having the problem, can you please advise if your company is deploying IT policies on your phone when you sync the first time with exchange? This is what may be creating the problem.
The same issue here!
My company applies only a Password policy to the phone (screen is locked after 2 minutes and password is needed to unlock it)
Kind Regards,

New manila packages from LEO 2.13
the Leo 2.13 ROM has upgraded all the packages related to the contacts.
Hopefully the problem is gone.
I've seen a few ROM for the LEO already released with this new packages (E.G. Miri). Anyone has tried if the problem appear in these new ROMs?
I have this same problem. Sense 2.12/Exchange 2003 server with NO policies. Removing email sync on my exchange account does not help. One things I've noticed is that it only happens when I choose my a certain contact (MY wife!) as one of my favorites. I chose six other favorites and they all were added with no problem. I tried completely deleting the contact and recreating it but the results were the same.
I managed to solve the problem by exporting my contacts from exchnage via pimbackup and completely removing exchange account. That's obviously NOT an ideal solution.
Even without exchange, it seemed a little laggy when I added my favorites. Since some people without exchnage are reporting the issue, I wonder if the issue be caused by having a large number of contacts (I had 65 Exchange contacts) with the contacts being from Exchange making the problem worse.
Leo 2.13 doesn't seem to solve the problem.
I've cooked a ROM using the following updated packages from Leo2.13, but unfortunatelly I got the same problem.
Contact_Picker_1_0_20143220_00
Contact_Utility_Engine_1_2_20141225_00
Facebook_Engine_1_1_20143627_00
HTCMessaging_Client_1_5_20143625_00
Social_Networks_Engine_1_1_20113927_01
I haven't been able yet to identify which package is responsible for the lockup, but I'll be cooking a new ROM with these packages from the old 1.66 ROM
If anyone have a clear idea of which package is producing the problem, please let us know.
