i have just been testing out phone profiles. no sooner had i started to play around with it my screen started to flicker and the system kept of reseting itself.
has anyone else had this problem? :?
does anyone have a copy of 3.1 trial instead?
Is it really due to Phone Profile? I've also installed Phone Profile 5.0 on my XDA II, just last week. These two days it kept restart by itself, anytime anywhere. I tried hard reset the device but the problem still persist. I've no choice but to sent it for servicing, can only get it back in another two days.
I have not had any major issues with the Phone Profiles 5.5 trial download, but I cannot seem to remove the Program through the normal channels. Neither Active Sync, item grayed out and can't uncheck it, or via PPC removal process-says it is running, but it is not or at least I can't stop it.
Any suggestions?

i remember seeing something in another post regarding a .dll file in the \windows folder which is run on boot. renaming this file and doing a soft reset prevented this from reoccuring.
maybe you will be able to stop the process long enough to disable it. there is a free program called phm task manager which may give you a chance to end the task and rename the .dll
First solution is the right one.
1- When you try to uninstall it, remember the locking file name
2- Rename this file
3- Soft-reset
4- uninstall
5- delete renamed file
Seems to be a really usefull and nice tool but too much bugs for me: 2 popups (with IA-Caller ID) on incoming call, problems when tried to use my own template, no group-ringing... Had to uninstall too. I think I'll buy it when debugged !

Periodically the message in the title, specifically, in my case, "Cannot execute \Storage Card\Program Files\Garmin\GarminQue.exe" appears as an error message. The path is correct and I can run the program by clicking on the icon in the Start menu (which uses the same path in the .ink file.) However, the icon in the start menu is the generic one, rather than the one specific to the program, most of the time. Any thoughts/ideas will be greatly appreciated.
Try ScaryBears "Check Notifications". Then go to:
Options - Settings -> Check both options -> OK
Refresh -> Clear -> Extit -> Soft Reset.
Let me know if it works
I've downloaded and installed the utility and I'll be happy to post the results here soon.
Thanks!

Please do, curious to know if this works with WM5.
Or does anyone know of a similar app for WM5? I have the same problem with Agile Messenger. No link in the startup folder and the program itself is set to NOT run at startup yet I get the error could not start ...blahblah blah.
Well, it looks like it will come in handy from time to time, but it doesn't solve this problem. When I set it to automatically eliminate dupes, I still get the "Cannot execute..." errors, but sometimes I can run the program and other times I get an error message - I don't remember exactly what it was, and I couldn't get it to reproduce the problem just now - and the program won't run until I disable Scarybear and do a soft reset.
It's like this call is to a bad location, because the program always runs when I activate it (when Scarybear isn't involved) but the paths in the auto call and in the path I created in my shortcut look identical.
Hope this helps!

From what I'm seeing in your posts, it seems as if the notification might be caused by the miniscule delay in waking up your storage card. This is especially likely if you only see it when the device wakes up (after suspend, etc.).

This assessment semi-confirms what I'm saying. Upon wake-up of the device, the storage card needs time to be activated. If the call to the program runs before the storage card wakes up, the location IS invalid, but if the device is already running at full speed, then you would never get the notification. If copying/moving this .exe to main memory (and redirecting the .lnk files) eliminates the problem with the notification, then you have your answer.
I moved the app to main memory and the errors occur much less frequently, but they still happen once in a while. It must be some kind of temporary call - maybe it will eventually time itself out...
Take a look at this thread from post #9

Should solve all your problems.
This sucks. Everything was going great but for someone reason lately, I am having trouble turning on my XV6800 from standby. Some times I have to hit the power button more then once. Or wait for a couple of seconds then it turns on. It is not dependent on the power button, because when I switched it to turn on when any button is on, it still won't turn on. What does get it out for good is if there is a call or a text that wakes its self up. But other times the power button works great.
I would love to solve this problem! I used SKTools to see what is running as soon as I hit the power button and hit it again to turn on. Both TimeWizard.exe and shell32.exe are at hundred for that second. Is that ok/normal? Have any suggestings before I hard reset?
If I do hard reset, I am wondering if instead of going to MR1 I should go with a WM6.5 rom. Is it really more trouble then its worth? I get about 21 of 22MB at startup (aftering clearing ram in beginning). What's the average for WM6.5 with the titan? I rather fix my problem and not hard reset, hate to reinstall all the software and do all the registry hacks all over again.
edit: Looks like this is an issue (a lot of people had it) that cannot be solved without hard reseting. So I still need to decide what route (MR1 or WM6.5) to go with...
I personally like 6.5. With the inclusion of a tool called nueKernel, many ROMs will boot with up to 28ish MB of RAM in high memory mode on a fresh install. In low memory mode, it's usually between 20 and 22. High memory mode, if you aren't aware, temporarily disables the camera. Low memory mode enables the camera. You can switch back and forth easily using a setting in your System menu.
Also, make note of any tools you currently use on your Today screen. Any third party additions may not exist for the new Titanium layout. There are a bunch of new add-ins for it that will most likely do everything that you need, but do some poking around first. You can also use the older today screen on 6.5 if you can't find what you need for Titanium, but that ruins a lot of the fun.
Since you use SKTools, you can also easily export any registry tweaks you put in, and re-import them on whichever ROM you decide to use. It's fairly easy.
There are a number of ROMs to choose from between XDA and ppcgeeks. Read some of the comments and check out what the chef includes. It will be pretty different than the official Verizon ROM you are used to, but that's usually a good thing. I currently use bbsandkm's 6.5 ROM from ppcgeeks, but that's personal preference. Ryan and TPLane here on XDA make some amazing ROMs that you can use, too.
But before you flash to any non-official ROM, please make sure you read up on the guides to do it properly. It's really pretty simple, but you need to just follow the directions.
Is the around 20MB the amount with Titanium? I love HTC Home since I can use the Today calendar. All these new plugins never show the complete day of apointments.
Yeah I would have to do some reading before I even consider. I do know I would have to downgrade to the original 6.0 OS before going custom. Would I have to go back to 6.0 again and then 6.1 if I decide I don't like 6.5? Already getting scared just thinking about it lol.

In high memory mode after installing all my programs, I start with between 25 and 26 meg free. That is using Titanium.
The only reason (I think) that you'd need to downgrade to 6.0 is if your GPS does not work after your upgrade. And no, you wouldn't need to re-install 6.1 during the process.
Downgrade is necessary if you have a pri of 2.03xx and want gps to work on your custom rom.
I got so sick of this problem I just hard resetted and went for MR1. I will switch to WM6.5 maybe later in the future.
However, I notice my Titan did it again today! It barely has anything on it right now. So I am guessing my memory card might be the problem. So much stuff on it (its a 16GB) like portable apps, every cab I have ever downloaded etc. That's my only guess. Would a memory card be causing this problem?

What you are experiencing is a DSOD (dark screen of death). Usually its because of something installed to your storage card that is always running(not good, things like that need installed to device memory). Also make sure you have no .exe's in the 2577 folder on storage card (if you have the folder).
Here are some possible examples of DSOD's
Disable the automatic ActiveSync checking. This is the official solution from Verizon Data Technical Support.
Do not install software on the storage card that might trigger automatically. That means: Absolutely no today plug-ins, no ring tones, nothing that runs in the background, and nothing that could accidentally be triggered if you hit one of the buttons of your device.
Do not store data that might be accessed automatically. Same thing. Basically, do not store mail attachments on the storage card if you have wireless sync.
Close programs that use the storage card before turning your device off. Magic Button is an excellent tool to do this.
If you do install programs on the storage card, do NOT use the "Programs" window or the start menu to start them. Instead, use a File Explorer to run them. If you use "Programs" or the start menu, that program will be in your list of recently accessed applications in the start menu. So the next time you turn your device on and click on the start menu, the system will access your storage card to load the icon of the application - this will create a noticeable delay of several seconds, if not DSOD.
Don't randomly install crap. Every single piece of software you install could interfere with your system. Limit the software you install to what you really need. Check the forums, some people named a few programs that explicitly did not work for them.
I hope this helps you out.
Wow thanks, that helps a lot!
edit: Not my day. Don't ask me why but I decided to clean some registry after cleaning up my card. Well I deleted something that effects me to not see the verizon mobile site. I posted about it before here. At least now I know what I did wrong with that problem. Anyway, if I were to hard reset, will it revert back to a clean MR1 with all the Verizon stuff? So far I have been just reinstalling MR1 which does it all. The reason I ask is I hate to wait until tonight to do this again. Thanks guys.

Wow, you learn something new every day! Amazing writeup.
It happened again last night but I am thinking it might be caused by the latest SKTools. But not sure since I had it almost a month before this happened. I might go all day without it and see if that is the case. Then if it is the I will get the lower version.
Also, I am going crazy here, which registry edit is to take away the keyboard lag? I cannot remember if it had to do with increasing the gyphe or whatever maybe taking away the speed of the keyboard when it lights up. I just cannot remember. I looked at tons of posts here and PPcgeeks but still cannot find or figure out which one did it. Thanks guys. I need to seriously remember these registry hacks for next time.
ok: it was not SKtools. I put it back on. I decided to wipe my memory card clean and start over. So far so good! Now I will have time to find some registry edits.
While there are obvious differences between Maila and Sense, it seems increasingly that some well-known and long standing tweaks and registry hacks are ignored by the HD2.
I wondered if there was an application layer between the UI and the OS that might have its own settings that override the registry - seems unlikely but until someone can explain why these hacks are not working (or tell me I'm wrong), I thought it might be useful to keep a note of what DOESN'T work, along with any solutions as they are found.
---------------------------------------------------------
1. Can't move the Inbox to the Storage Card
Standard Hack: Add the string 'PropertyPath = \Storage Card\Inbox" to HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
Issue: The hack actually works but on reboot the Storage Card is renamed 'Storage Card2' and a new folder called 'Storage Card' created on the device. This may be because the Storage Card is slow to mount
Solution:
None at present
---------------------------------------------------------
2. Can't disable the Lock Screen
Standard Hack: Should be possible to set the interval through the standard 'Lock' settings item or via a range of software Tweak Tools.
Should also be enabled/disabled by setting HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable to 1/0
Issue: The HD2 seems to override any and all settings and the lock screen appears any time the screen is switched off and back on again
Solution:
None at present
---------------------------------------------------------
3. Can't change the default storage location for camera photos
Standard Hack: Use Advanced Config or edit HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\image and/or HKLM\Services\Picture
Issue: The HD2 seems to override any and all settings and photos still go to the DCIM folder
Solution:
None at present
---------------------------------------------------------
4. Can't change the target for CoPilot in NaviPanel
Issue: When CoPilot is installed on the Storage Card - the only sane place for it - it cannot be started through the NaviPanel, which seems to expect a copy on the device.
There is no obvious registry setting to control this and the fear is that it may be hard coded somewhere
Solution:
None at present
---------------------------------------------------------
5. Limited Storage Space
Issue: A big-hearted device has come equipped with tiny cojones in the storage department...
Solution:
(Obviously!) Store as little on the device as possible and remove anything that you KNOW you can do without (careful!)
Install applications to the Storage Card (limited benefit as many apps still install working files to the device)
There is some sample music and sample pictures in 'My Documents' that can be removed to save several MB
Delete the CoPilot files under 'Program Files' (assuming you aren't using it, or have installed to the Storage Card)
---------------------------------------------------------
6. Screen Sensitivity
Issue: Despite having wished for a capacitive screen for months, it takes a little while to get used to the new-found sensitivity
Solution: Not a solution as such - haven't seen any sort of sensitivity control - but the following might help:
Patience! It does get better
Don't press too hard - it's easily done in frustration but it actually makes things worse
Align the screen - don't think the factory calibration is too clever (this made a big difference for me)
Switch to a different keyboard. Don't like the default keyboard so reinstalled TouchPal and all is well again
---------------------------------------------------------
If people find it useful and care to post their issues/solutions here, I will try to update the list periodically
This thread is for those of you who have already got the MR2 update and would like to report any bugs, features etc. This thread will make it easier to follow up and find any similarities. Also to find fixes faster then digging through different threads.
Please DO NOT post "Oh I haven't gotten this patch yet","WTF it's not up yet","Installing it now" etc...
Please post anything you have noticed or would like to share about MR2 here.
I have the Swedish version of MR2, these are my observations.
(1) I noticed as well that when the device is waking up, the SD Card takes a second or 2 to show up. I am sure this has to do with power management. Now this causes a slight delay when you wake up the device and can be annoying if you are like me and want "Instant response". I stated already in another thread that I had applied the "SD Card Fix" that was created for MR1. Now there is no delay and thats the way I like it, the power consumption difference is not noticeable, so I am not concerned at all that it might use 0.0..something milliamps more power. Take note, that I did not suffer memory card missing or sudden data loss problems. It just took a while for the card to pop up after start up.
(2) The GPS problem with TomTom remains, I still need GPS Gate in order to use TomTom.
FIXED! See here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6494250&postcount=14
(3) The G Sensor problem remains, I cannot use any other apps apart from SE's that work with the G Sensor, very annoying!!!
This Java -> "Water Level" app works, so maybe some other ones might. But even that one is SE's. I will check more into it later.
(4) Visual LED notifications don't seem to turn on until you wake up the device, the audio alerts are instant though.
I will update as I find more, otherwise everything else(I have tested) on this device is faster now, including SMS typing via keyboard.
CAB for SD Card fix -> http://rapidshare.com/files/389695879/X2_SDFix.cab
EDIT:
Please note! I will no longer be working on trying to fix any bugs on the X2.
I'm sending it back and getting an X10 instead, so my efforts will shift over to Android now.
Perhaps down the road when they come up with a better OS or something, I will buy another X2. Until then, I hope others who have been helping out now will continue to do so.
Thanks for the clarification that the notification LED problem has still not been fixed. I'm afriad it might be time for me to say goodbye to my X2 as this was one of the reasons why I bought the device and if they still haven't fixed it now, it is unlikely they are ever going to.

I am sure there are more updates or fixes on the way.
Besides that, not many devices offer LED notification anyways.
Today was the first day my X2 has run superbly, I have not needed to install "Advanced Config Tool" or "SK Tools". No Stalls, no sluggish behaviour. Good battery life... I think it's on it's way to perfection. Now we only need HardSPL
im also dissapointed that theyve not bothered to fix the LED notifications. was one of the main reasons i stuck with SE. most SE phones have LED notification (which work), an immensly useful but simple feature. it worked fine on the X1. seems to be another casualty of their over zealous power management. the phone doesnt wake up when a text is received like the X1 used to. im sure someone clever can get the X2 behave as it should do either, their must be something in the registry that can be modified like the SD card fix..
^^ Yep, I am sure we can tweak this bad boy somehow...
But meanwhile.
To enable "Auto rotation"
Edit the following Registry Key. YOU WILL NEED A REGISTRY EDITOR! If you don't know what it is, don't bother with this! Just move along...
HKLM\Services\MultiService\mods\Rotation\AccelBasedRotationEnabled
Change value to "1"
This will help with many things including this -> TomTom!
To enable TomTom Rotation, go further down to AADRClients
(1) Add "New Key" Call it TomTom or whatever.
(2) In that key add new "String Value"
(3) Value name "ModuleFileName"
Value Data "\Storage Card\Program\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe"
(You will need to check your folders are the same, edit the text accordingly)
(4) Make sure it saved.
(5) Reboot device
(6) Start TomTom when it's loaded rotate your device left, viola!

after the install of MR2 all the data on my mammory card got corrupted. Not right away but couple of hours later. I have Generik_UK. Then i formated the card. installed the SDfix (its on this forum somewhere -> search) but i think its not everithing as it should be. the data did not get corrupred again but the micro SD sometimes is not visible in the file manager.
I also had some problems with total freezing of the phone (two times in 2 days time). that only happened when i was doing heavy usage on the camera and the picture viewing I guess the RAM got full ar something. then i deleted all the panells and the panelmanager to save some RAM. Ill let you know if it helps.

Yep, I guess I should have mentioned that
instead of hardSPL to flash custom roms has anyone tried to hack the sony update program?? if it could be fooled into thinking the custom firmware is the latest firmware then get it to install it onto the phone...
For those of you not in the KNOW.
TomTom will work without installing GPSGate.
On the X2 – go to Settings/System/External GPS and change GDP9 TO COM8.
Run FASTGPS and download the latest Sat Data.
Open TomTom and change the GPS Device from Built in GPS receiver to Other NMEA GPS receiver and select COM8.
Wait a few secons for the Receiver to kick in and away you go.....
ok,can some one to test video mode,record some video and see what is the frame rate in new MR2,is it still low? or is it better then 15fps

I guess you look for Storage Card in File Explorer? What I have seen is that because of the card delay mentioned earlier the card appears at the bottom of the folders/files list and not among the folders in alphabetic order, at least on my device. Can be worth a look even though you applied the card fix and i haven't.
Two flaws:
1.
Auto lock on, display blacked out
Listening to music via slideview
Phone rings (technically speaking)
The phone vibrates and perhaps play half ringtone or just not at all.
Without the music listening the phone rings as it should, using generic ringtone so far so no storage card error here I suppose.
2.
Listening to music via slideview. Songs stored at Storage card.
Media player plays one, two, three songs and halts in the middle of a song.
Going to try a different media player to see what happens. I have not installed any yet because my favourite player, Pocket Player appears to have some compatibility issues with winmo 6.5. I know of the memcard fix and will eventually try that as well.
Was thinking of a new thread, quite the opposite of this. A "what programs works on X2 MR2". haven't installed that much yet, perhaps someone else can start
SE contact reading chinese?
Can anyone confirm if the SE contacts (not the WinMo) in MR2 can read Chinese (after installing either new fonts or localization)?
Thanks!
so i changed from GENERIC_SG to GENERIC_UK, rather time consuming but worth it IMO, but down to the nitty gritty details.
I'm still in the process of personalising it (adding my ring tones, loading old sms's etc) but from first few things i've done the speed between screens is quite phenominal
Also by accident i just found that you can move icons around ALOT easier, . BIG bonus as it doesn't mean i have to scroll all the way to the botom to find my new apps. - to do this just press down on the icon (using stylus or finger) and move it to were ever you want it.
more feedback to follow
I think this thread lost its and the thread starters intentions long ago. Its sad since it could have been a great resource. Some moderation would be apritiated.
Thanks, A.D
