I have a weird activesync issue. I use vista with wmdc 6.1. After synchronizing my X7500 (stock wm6 upgrade) and taking it out of the cradle, activesync on my X7500 does not seem to "release". The software hangs (which can be seen by the double arrow connection icon at the top, which should not be there anymore). I need to go into settings/memory to manually kill the program, which then is indeed reported as hanging.
I own more PDA's, also with WM6, and the X7500 is the only one with this behaviour.
Does anybody else have this, and maybe a hint to a solution?
Have you tried a soft reset?

ActiveSync issues
Hi,
I use the same configuration as you do (VISTA with WMDC 6.1 on HTC X7501 – WM6), I had quite few synchronisation issues and I learned that: REPLLOG.exe which is the WM6’ native sync file and CPROG.exe MUST be kept on (active) AT ALL TIMES. There are several programs out there (Magic Button, WisBar, Spb Pocket Plus, etc) which among other functions take over and truly CLOSE the applications when the OK, upper right button is pressed, rather than minimizing it as is set by default in WM6; IF this happens to REPLLOG.exe (active sync file) WM6 might (actually quite likely) loses the sync parameters, thus the active partnership, so next time when you connect the two it will ask you to reconfigure everything from the beginning.
One program which I really recommend buying is WisBar Advance which allows you to set exceptions: you set the OK button to truly close, with the exception of the 2 files I mentioned. Besides the little green, spinning, active sync symbol is kept hidden even though is hanging – nothing to be bothered about.
One other thing: I had to revert and come back to WMDC 6.0 as I had a very annoying sync problem with WMDC 6.1. As strange as it may seem this solved my issue: ActiveSync Support Code: 0x8503001C. If you happen to bump into it just remember the remedy.
I hope this helps.
Thanks, I will try this. I am actually using magic button. I'll remove it and see whether the problem goes away.
Update: issue does not go away after uninstalling magic button and soft resetting. Activesync still hangs.... and does not want to reconnect after this

Nacos,
I´m having since yesterday this strange and annoying "Support Code: 0x8503001C". I've tried everything until I found this post. The problem is that when I install WMDC 6.0 (from this source: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...EA-9DF9-4920-AF33-3A0E2E4E7BEB&displaylang=en ) my computer installs it, but immediately and without asking anything, installs the "update", so I end having the 6.1 version.
What should I do in this case?
Thanks.

you actually need to remove the Windows Mobile driver update and the windows mobile device center, both show up under the add/remove programs on your windows pc
I even went to the extent of finding the folder for windows mobile device profiles and it's program directory and removing them from the drive.
That finally sorted out the problem. but i can't recall off top of my head what the folder names was

Cyberjak,
Very interesting. I have already removed both the driver and device center through the add/remove programs, but can't find the profiles. There is a folder in Windows directory that is call "Windows mobile": it has, among other stuff, the setup.exe, wmdcBase and wmdsync; it also has a "wmupdate". You think is there?
Please, I really need some help here. Can't install WMDC 6.0 alone.
Thanks

Hi guys
I've been facing since I bought my HTC Athena irregular freeze everyday.
I upgraded the Device to WM6 the next day I received it, it went very soomth with my applications installed.
However, the freeze appear very randomly, it could be while launching a new program, or playing backgammon, sometimes after device wake up, also once when received an SMS.
A very weird behavior also, is that sometimes I need to soft-reset 3/4 times in a row to get passed the HTC and the Windows Mobile splash screen.
For info, the soft-reset is not necessarly done after a freeze ....
I decided to start this new topic in order to see if other people are facing same symptoms on their Athena, and to share our experience together.
Cheers
Hope you run Oli's SPL Unlocker/patcher...

Sorry no such problems here, but did you run Olipro's SPL patcher/Unlocker before flashing thee ROM? I know tupsindin released a few WM6 ROMs a while ago that could be flashed without CID unlocking your X7500, but Olipro's Unlocker will make your device unbrickable.
If you have already done this, try flashing the new WM6 Dopod U1000 ROM seems very stable to me with no issues so far and slightly snappier than the other WM6 ROMs.
Thks mackaby for your reply
I did unlock it via the UK website I found on XDA forum, sorry but can't remember the name (soemthing IMEI), so I did that then flashed with the WM6 ROM ver 2.20.405.1
Im doing some more testing
what is really annoying is that I need to do 4/5 soft reset very ofently in order to pass by the HTC/Windows Mobile splash screen
I just bought my HTC Advantage X7500 with WM6 already installed and I have lock up issues if I have auto shutoff enabled it will not start backup after a auto shut off I keep using the reset to get it back up. When it is up I just disabled the auto shut off and now have no problems.
Im not having same pb as you, but I saw on one thread on XDA forums that people having that problem fixed it by assigning a the turn on/off device to a hardware button. and apparently it fixed their problem.
Try that and it must fix it for you

Hi,
I have encountered in the past this problem, and I observed that it was happening after I installed HTC X-Button v1.5, and it was even worse after HTC X-Button v1.51.
Later on, a new version was published, and it works flawlessly since. The exact file is HTC X-Button v1.51 build 30229.
Hope you have same issue. Good luck,
Zohar
Thks zoharbl for you reply
I don't have HTC x-button
For now, I found an alternative with Running Pocket Hack Master at 663 Mhz, and I modified the sequence for startup processes using SKTools putting Pocket Hack Master as #1 in the order, Wisbar Advance 3 as #2, SPB Diary as the last one and Norton Antivirus just before the last one.
I noticed that SPB Diary is slowing down a bit my device, and specially after a reset, this is because I created custom tab adding plugins inside this tab such Phone Alarm, SPB Weather and Resco Explorer Plugin ...
I tried many config, and found out this one works the best for me, the device is resetting with less then 30 sec without any hanging anymore.

Really interesting comment. I have original WM5 configured UK Ameo and have always experienced random crashes. After reading this, I looked again at my settings and found the X-button configured - I don't need it as I use the same functionality from Wisbar. Turned it off and it hasn't crashed since.

Hi there BigDede
Don't know if this will help...
Even since before I have upgraded to WM6 I have had problems similar to yours. At the time I had WA3 and WAD installed as well as Spb Weather, Spb Diary and certain parts of Pocketplus. I did a trail and removed all software from Spb and Wisbar and everything worked perfectly. In the meantime I have now only added Spb Mobile Suite and use iLauncher on my today screen together with the plugin from Resco Explorer - no more problems!
It seems to me that some of the above software have compatibilty issues with the U1000/Athena/Ameo (whether wm2005 or wm6 makes a difference I don't know).
Cheers
Thks Superdawie for your reply, you are right, I was suspecting Wisbar, SPB Diary abd phoneAlarm to be the origin of my problems.
But as I said previously, I found a workaround to make the Athena runs ok by playing with the order of startup programs. It's been more then one week without any freeze

Same for me, working well on WM6 since I turned X-Button 1.51 off.
In WM5 I had this problem all the time as WM5 totally sucks!
In WM6 I only experienced this problem when programs "collided" due to timing issues as you've found out. By changing the load order or timing of some applications (some programs have it built right in like SmallMenu....it's resolved all of my lock up issues, etc. Most of the problems can be resolved by playing around with the software you have loaded, as you found out. Not sure if it's because of a crappy OS or because of crappy coding by the developers of the software we're installing...maybe both.
ok, since this problem is getting seriously troubling, i decided to open up a new thread for it.
i have tried two different wm5 roms, three different wm6 roms, three different sd cards, four different radio roms, two different ipl and two different spl versions. no luck so far. and this is the story in detail:
EVERY program icon in the pull down start menu referring to prgrams installed to the memory card disappears/turns into a white box after EVERY soft reset. if i then switch off phone fuctionality through the commanager, they SUDDENLY re-appear correctly. when i activate the phone again, they STAY THAT WAY! but after the next soft reset, they are all white again.
the funny thing is that it really only concerns icons with reference to the storage card and ONLY the start menu section, NOT(!) the "recent programs" section. there they remain in tact after soft reset.
so it looks as if this is some problem between the radio and the storage card slot (or drivers) during the boot phase.
has anybody encountered this problem, too? is there any solution? i also contacted o2 customer service which told me they would try to reproduce this issue on their machines, and if they could not confirm it, they would deal with it as technical flaw - hopefully meaning that they would replace my device.
so, any suggestions, mates??
The solutions below work fine in my case. You might like to give it a try if it is a real problem for you.
My earlier solution:
1. run clauncher (you can download it practically everywhere)
2. only activate clauncher (edited: tray launcher) and (optional) type in NO path for any application
3. find and run any software such as SKTools enable to set the order of applications in the StartUp folder
4. set clauncher.lnk(edited: tray launcher) as the first in order
5. soft-reset
Or, try the alternative to solve icon-missing problem
My present solution:
simply using quickmenu in lieu of WM menu (again, it's available everywhere)
Good luck!

isn't it a common issue....,a nuisance ^^?? it happens all over wm2003, wm5, wm6....
actually you don't need to do anything except to "re-click" any item of menu on the setting page to get the icons back, if you decide not to rely on the third party applications.
BTW, if you don't really appreciate Quickmenu, an additional exe, you might like to wait for this >>> http://www.dotfred.net/FdcStartMenu.htm. However, my wild guess is this one might have the very same problem since it doesn't change the order of all the services....

Has anyone noticed in 6.5 using Windows default that if you have automatic retrieval of email messages set, and you return to the home screen,after awhile the Home screen will display the title "Messaging" at the top and the close X button will appear. Also the soft key changes. I have used about 4-5 different ROM's from different cooks and it seems to be appearing in all of them. Any solutions or suggestions?
U can just ignore it. If i'm not mistaken, it happens only if pushmail is enabled.
I get it too, but don't have push mail going. I have retrieve every 30 min. I don't think much of it. Just close it. It hasn't caused me any issues yet.

It's just a nuisance. But definitely some kind of small bug.
I find this bug to be completely annoying. This morning on my way to work, in the middle of getting GPS directions, "Messaging" pops up as an empty window. I've been looking for a way to fix this, but so far, I've come up empty.
Hi guys, I think it's an issue with tmail, at some point in 6.5 development I noticed that when tmail.exe -noui is executed it doesn't display a dialog or draw the screen, but it still draws the menubars/titlebar - seems in 6.1 when tmail.exe -noui is executed it has the same behavior but the app does not come to foreground (gets placed behind all other apps)
Any app that launches tmail.exe -noui will cause this behavior, many htc apps do this periodically.

I can't imagine it'd be possible to use a tmail.exe from a 6.1 ROM, as changes/updates/improvements? have been made to it, right?
Or is the answer to find a version of 6.5 where it didn't do this, and replace the current version with that? Does the 21210 side of the tree have this issue, I wonder?
I first noticed it way back in 21169 or so, so i'm pretty sure any build after that has the issue.
Haven't tried anything to fix it, i suspect it's an issue with shell32 not properly hiding the hidden window..
tmail.exe from 6.5 is hugely different from 6.1, so you'd be losing quite a bit by replacing it (if it worked)
I noticed that this does not occur with the 21613 build as in Karmbab's kitchen
Hi,
I am having massive problems sync'ing my new Athena. I have Michy's 6.1 installed and after a hardreset, sync is possible on the first PC. When I try to sync with the next one (I use a home PC and my laptop), sync will fail and I get an error.
I am using Vista on both PC's and I searched the internet: seems to be a frequent issue. Last night I hard-resetted my Athena twice. It will fix it, but only on the first one or two sync's, then the errors are back.
I did run PSTscan.exe in the Office folder and I did delete the existing partnerships.
I tried Windows Mobile Device Center v6.0 and v6.1.
Can it be that hard for Microsoft to get their act together?
Does anyone have a suggestion that doesn't come with the usual hardreset?
Thanks,
vma
Spent the night around this and did the thing I didn't want to do... yet another hardreset.
Sync is working now and I believe the problem comes when one starts sync'ing with more than two PC's and eventually if one starts to give different names to the device.
The problem are the *.vol files in the root of the Athena, which you can't delete and somehow get messed up.
Better than a hardreset would be a way to delete those files, but I haven't found a way, as they are locked. I even tried to kill all running processes, but without any luck.
Cheers,
vma
I recently bought an HTC HD2 and updated the phone with the newest update:
OS Version
5.2.2191
Manila Version
2.5.2018
ROM Version
3.14.531.1
I just downloaded the CoOkie Home Tab Release 2.0 and it worked fine for a few hours, but now all my screen does is go into lock mode when I try to access the top part of the screen on my home tab. It also flashes on/off when it's in sleep mode at periodic times (no inbound calls/emails/texts).
I'm completely new to the HD2 so any assistance to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.
When you pressed on the cab for installation, did you select to install it on internal memory or on SD?
It's better to select internal memory.
I saved it to the SD.....I also realized that I'm tied to a microsoft exchange server for my work emails.
So what are your suggestions?
uninstall and reinstall to my internal memory
or
Take away from connection to the microsoft exchange server

I am struggling to get it to work as well (CHT 1.85 works fine for me)
but read the CHT2 page as I recall something about problems with Exchange ties.
so far so good...saved to device....exchange connection is running....
Just to let everybody know...
If you install things like CHT mod... i don't know... like icons, toolbars, keyboards and all other things that are system related... these ALL go to your phone. okay?
all other things like timers, emulators, reg editors whatever... go to your sd card since you want to save your lil space on your phone
Hello
I also have HTC HD2 T Mobile LEO, upgraded from T-Mobile web page and installed Cookies Hom Tab and CHT editor works fine, in my opinion if you set password for locking the device, this caused the problem that you complain,
1) Carry out hard reset
2) Do not set password the device
3) Re-load cookies home tab 2.0.0 and CHT editor 2.0.0
4) Carry out your setting from CHT editor
5) Sometime, needs to remove battery and wait few minutes and place
I hope, will work without problems
FYI: I tried more than 10 times, success
Good luck
My exchange server not working either. I did the previous, by uninstall and reinstall to phone memory and it still did not work. Any other suggestions.
It wont let me type in the domain line of what my work domain is?
if the domain-field isn't present, try to type following in username field: [email protected]
should work fine
other option is to configure your exchange and after that install CHT
If your Exchange uses Security Pin (4 Digit PinCode to unlock) not all Lockscreens will work ("HD2 mini" won't)
I tried the new username and that didn't work. I uninstalled CHT and still the exchange server did not work! I don't know what else to do? Anymore suggestions?
Thanks
