Rightyo Ho,
I've done away with HTC~Home as it keeps screwing my device over and freezing the OS on bootup.
For those of you that are interested I've (under advice) switched to SPB Diary/iLauncher/SPB Weather. Which is much better
Anyway I keep getting PIN lock bugs, whereby my device keeps forgetting my chuffing PIN, has anyone found a nice alternative program which also PIN locks the device (plus the buttons) Then I'll be a happy man, and hopefully I wont be regularily HR + looooong drawn out restoration of my settings, programs and files.
i use Transformer v1.1 ROM for few days now... no "forget PIN" bug with many resets.. me so happy
cheers,
|P|
so there's nothing out there similar?
4 key pin unlock program, locks all buttons while activated...I'll keep looking...
glad to hear you're running okay on transformer 1.1, unfortunatly I've had 3 PIN freezes in the last week, rough going. Great ROM otherwise, especially since I ditched HTC_home which caused no end of OS freezes
in Cyrstal V2 and Prophet Touch VIII there is no PIN bug,personaly tested couple of times.no problem at all just wait few more days till hma4 and gullum release their official versions
Excellent, I just tried 1-Pass which on face value look like an excellent little app, allows you to lock your PPC and unlock with either a pin code or hardware button combination.
Unfortunatly it seems to not get on with resident WM6 Pin lock and doesnt prompt properly when switching to sleep mode with the power button. (how I lock my PPC usually)
I've emailed the support team, because if they can fix that little furry devil of a bug then I might just use it anyway.
Even so, Im chuffing excited about the upcoming ROM release. My girlfriend just doesn't follow, she cant work out why I keep using an OS upgrade that locks me out of my phone all the time, or freezes up, and then needs to be reconfigured. this time she will understand, oh yes she'll understand alright. she'll eat my WM6 rom in all its fancy glory.

no matter what technique i use my phone still wakes on new sms. ive tried editing the registry, used diamond_tf3d_config, used advanced configuration tool, diamond tweaks... none helped. has anyone else, using a sprint touchpro, been able to solve this problem? i've also reset my phone to stock just in case it was a program i installed that was causing it....HELP! thanks
all the tweaks to disable it were designed for the gsm raphael and do not work on the cdma versions. you should check out s2u2 or touchlockpro
o ok thanks, was getting tired of trying everything to no avail....... thanks man saves me some headaches... by the way slide2unlock2 still wakes up, you just get the slide2unlock2 screen... still annoying to hear screen taps in your pocket when you get text messages, plus it wastes battery life.....
you can set s2u2u to turn back off in 5 seconds. that will leave you with less chance of clicks, or touchlockpro csn be used as it said. it keeps both the screen and buttons disabled so no clicks are possible.
I have a sprint HTC TP that i have modded with numerous different WM 6.5 ROM's. After the flash is complete i usually sync the phone with the exchange server at my office to get my contacts, email, etc. The exchange server forces me to use a simple password to lock my phone after 15 minutes so in the event its stolen after 10 failed attempts at entering the password it will wipe the phone. WM 6.5 automatically enables the slide lock so when my phone is off for a period of time it locks via the windows slide lock and the exchange simple lock. every few days when i turn on my phone i get a message that the device will be erased after the next unsuccessful logon attempt also the swipe lock button says slideslide and doesnt work. I have to perform a soft reset and when the phone boots back up it erases everything including my SD card. Any help would be appreciated. I have tried Juicy 7, db and a few others but i dont have their names. They all produce the same errors. Im trying not synching my exchange account to see if the simple password is the culprit. Any help would be appreciated.

I use this rom and it doesn't SLIDE lock when i turn the screen off... It goes right back to the home screen.... So it might help you.
Its funny you mention that ROM because thats the exact one im currently using and on my phone it does automatically use the slide lock.
The lock feature in WM6.5 has been an issue since the start. I have seen a few roms in BA and Fuze that work rather well with it (including with the exchange server), but I have seen a crap-load of reports from people with similar issues to yours. I don't know how far advanced the 6.5 development is for the Herman, but if I were you I would probably stick to Mighty 4 Reborn, Fallen 2.1, or some other 6.1 rom. Stay away from 6.5 if you must use the rom for heavy, work-related, daily use.
Also, take out the SD card before SR if you see that the phone is telling you that it will format your storage. Good luck!
Thanks egzthunder1 i think thats what ill have to do.
JSYK i did some additional testing and the culprit appears to be active sync. I set up the lock using a simple password and had no problems. Then i added gmail account with lock and also had no problems. I connected to exchange server with direct push and the problem started re-occuring.
same issue

I got exactly same issue you had. My phone is from Bell and had no problem with mighty 4.16 and original ROM. It just happen on Mighty 5 and doesn't matter which build. the latest one I tried was 21234.
Another thing I figured out was it happen on every Monday night around 8:00PM to 10:00PM. If anyone know how to fix or solution. that will be appreciated.
This happens very often
Hi,
this is phone independent issue,
I've already opened thread for it - till now no solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515102
On my Leo I always used stock ROM's, until the weekend when I tried Artemis.
This introduced a bug where the Wi-Fi would turn on every boot, and the first run wizard would show for a second on shut-down, implying it was running in the background. Waited for new Artemis and it sill did it...and now I've just installed the latest stock (1.66.405.2) and it STILL does it.
Is this the kind of weird bug MTTY is meant to fix? Want to check before I take the plunge
On an aside I cant remove Hard SPL, but that doesn't bother me, just might be related?
Cheers

Ive seen something simpliar once after a flash, not exactly sure, BUT, if you try disabling sense on the today screen, you may see the wizard running on top of windows mobile but behind the manila front end, and finish it so it stops showing.
settings - menu - all settings - home - items tab - scroll down and untick HTC sense.
Thanks man, didn't try that method I sort of fell into the solution.
Went into wireless controls to do my phone settings, my finger slipped to air plane mode...cursing I waited patiently for the connections to go and suddenly voilà, there was the first run wizard in front of me :O
I also emailed HTC at the same time as posting this thread and they said to remove the SIM on boot to see it, which I assume is linked to the air plane mode again in some way, as their effectively the same thing.
Also explains why I saw it for a sec on shut down, as it terminated my connections, up it popped.
Morale of the story, the first run wizard will only appear when you have no SIM in!

Hi..
i used the search but could not find anything..
I am having some issues with eh phone..
it freezes up when even i want to use it..
i can use it for a few minutes and then freezes up.
everything goes really slow or just doesn't react.
i didn't open anything special
just tried a hard reset..
only added google maps but didn't open it.
have exchange and hotmail syncing.
that's it..
soft reset helps for a few minutes and then it crashes again..
i really have no clue why this happens..
does anybody have a suggestion that i could try?
Thxn!
Well, could be simply a hardware problem (either a faulty one or f.i. a loose connection after dropping it).
Do you use your S740 only since a short while (new device) or have these problems started after a while ?
I use it now for a year and 4 months (actually with quite a few apps installed) and it's incredibly stable.
Sometimes it gets a bit slow, and then I do a soft reset.
But thats maybe bi-weekly.
I suspect that using McGuider navigation software alongside other apps (like Opera mini/java and Audio Notes and always bluetooth on) is the cause most of the time.
Only with SmartToolkit I had some structural problems of freezing.
There's one thing you can try:
I did read in some cases with people with serious problems, who needed a hard-reset, that only after a few hard resets their S740 again worked as new.
So try a few more hard-resets.
good luck

Thank you for the reply..
its not a new phone..
worked perfect the last couple of months.
this just started this week..
I will try doing a few more hard resets.
Hope that works...
Thanks so far!
Hy
I had the same problems after Hard Reset.I fixed it by Loading the akku to 100%,Switching off the phone,Removing the akku,Removing the SIM,Removing the StorageCard,Insert the Akku,Hold Down the Volume down button+the button in the middle of the cursor und short press on the power button and folow the text on the screen!Let the phone finish all and let it reboot and let it install all the original stuff!After a few reboots and when the phone seams to be finished you can install the Sim and start the phone again,let it install all the provider stuff,when its finished you can install the Storage....if you let the sim and the storage in the phone and make a reset something wents wrong at installing!

Ok so I want to convey all the relevant information without this being a mile long.
I have a o2 UK SGS2 running on a 3 sim. I have flashed on Lite'ing 6.1 with ninphetmaine 2.0.5. Up until the following, everything has been 100%.
This morning I downloaded Destinia and played it for a while. Before quitting I took a quick look at in app purchases to see if they charge ridiculous prices (they do). I'm not interested so I quickly spam back to close everything. This is when **** ****s up. OS becomes unresponsive immediately and I have no choice but to pull the battery. (power menu disappears instantly, no registered actions from soft keys or menu button in OS). No change on reboot.
I try reflashing Lite'ning. Mostly no change but I got the chance to get into task manager and uninstall Destinia/Launcher Pro.
I reinstall launcher pro, and now it works most of the time except:
1. Quite frequently the voice action app will load itself, and the unlock notification will pop up.
2. MTP notification will appear occasionally and phone will act like it's plugged in
3. Random Launcher/OS crashes. Sometimes screen on but no response from apps or OS. Sometimes screen won't turn on at all, just softkeys and darkness.
4. at first unlock after boot, camera makes standard focusing sound.
5. on boot, little popup dialog will read "in app purchases not supported in this version of android".
Really I doubt there's going to be any solution other than "wipe and reflash" but I'm really interested if anyone knows what would cause all these problems.
Cheers

Whatever that means looks to be the source of your problem..

what this means is that pressed back from the game's in app purchases screen, back to the main menu and then back to the Launcher, I'm sure everyone has done basically this countless times.
Fine but my dictionary defines spam as a different meaning .
But as posted that's where it all went wrong for whatever reason .

Right I wipe-flashed stock 2.3.5 and it's STILL doing this. Voice actions popping up at random, all sorts of apps crashing and hanging all the time.
This has to be a hardware problem now, right?
just a stab in the dark but run a virus check.
I've never had a virus in my life, but I checked anyway and nothing.
Right so I've been watching my phone today. It's still doing random voice action popups. If I leave the phone on standard standby it will be fine for a while. It will then randomly turn on the screen by itself. The screen will stay on, if i leave it long enough the whole thing become totally unresponsive. If I press power the phone will wait a few seconds, then restart. If I don't touch it, it will just restart on its own eventually.
Can anyone recommend at least, some logging software that will let me look at the underlying OS and see what's happening when this is going on.
Is there any possibility your phone also goes to car-mode by itself?
spare parts app??
Your phone is more or less doing the same thing as mine is. It's a hardware issue from the seems of it. The voice command thing is from a dirty pin in the USB connector part which apparently isn't that hard to clean, for users in the thread below it actually helped to solve the issue. But my persisting issue is the unresponsive screen and power button causing an active screen to dim out and making the screen unresponsive..

Read your thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278790 and your problems are down to the letter the same. I've resigned myself to it being a hardware fault and put in a service request with samsung. Wish I had better news.
Yea me too. My issue is that my SGSII was manufactured in UK so I'm at odds seeing as how I'm in America. The people at the Samsung call center referred me to the UK number so I guess I will have to bits the bullet.
