ive seen this discussed somewhere else, maybe it was ppcgeeks, but the problem is, i lose text messages when i soft reset.
i dont have much information about it, but if i soft reset soonafter a soft reset, or even an hour or so after a string of text messages, they will sometimes just not be there any more.
anyone have any idea why this is happening, or more importantly how to fix it?
thanks
i would really like some info on this. i cant offer any help other than verifying that it happens to me too. i think it has happened with both sms and mms too actually. i dont like it though
The only way I've been able to save my SMS when I reset is by holding the button to power the phone off rather than using the stylus to reset. Every time I use the reset button I lose info. Power the phone down, then turn it back on. Should help.
Sounds alot like a cache issue.... Sometimes things get put into mem cache and will be saved later when enough has been stored.... I do not know how to adjust it tho.... I'd say that between the 3 of you, there is a common program that you have installed that may be changing the way your messages are stored.... just a theory on my part, cuz I don't have that issue....
Perhaps 1 of you can flash the ROM from the 3.2.0 post and install nothing but your carrier and then send a bunch of SMS messages. Then do a soft reset to see if they stay....!
are you running a cooked rom?
i recall having this on pre 6.1 roms, though you will always risk data loss if you suddenly soft reset your device with the reset button instead of powering it down properly
i have used the same apps on my phone for a while and only started noticing this messaging issue recently. the more i think about it i think it might have started once i started using 6.1 roms. before that i was just on alltels updated stock rom and this didnt happen. but on both no2chems 5069k and now dcd's 3.2 it happens.
so..maybe its a 6.1 issue? maybe a 6.1 cache issue? all of these 6.1 roms we are using are going to have bugs so this is what im guessing.
just read the post directly above mine...... so maybe im wrong.
anyone else offer any suggestions?
This is definitely a cache issue I discovered some time ago, I think even with 6.0. If you use the reset button or pull the battery within an hour or less of doing text messaging you have to shut down Outlook/SMS first so that it will write the cache to the database.
I'm on Verizon.. This has happened to me even with the stock ROM. Not only do new text messages disappear, but if you delete all your text messages.. then reset.. they are all back.
It does appear to be a cache issue. It takes some time before changes are permanent I guess.
This happened to me on Stock with original Arcsoft, Also on DCD ROM 3.1.2, 3.1.6, 3.2.0.. with various Arcsoft versions 5.xx.
I have found no way to change this.. but I haven't checked all the reg keys for a setting that might do this. If I discover one, I'll post back.

Well i do not have any of your problems.. So i think you are doing something wrong.. The problem with E-mail, WLM and GPRS settings is probably because you use the stylus to soft reset the phone. This makes the phone lose all its settings. Therefore i would suggest you use a program like PsShutXP. This program can soft reset like when you use the stylus, but it writes your changes to the registry before it resets, which makes your phone not loose your settings.. I had the same problem like you untill i began using psshutxp.
You could also just make a clean shutdown as soon as you have done your changes. Just hold the shut down button until a warning comes up, and then answer yes.. Then turn back on..
RE
What about WM6 stop responding. You have to use the pen for reset. This will may cause loosing those settings. This is not an acceptable solution. I use soft reset programs and it is true but othewise...
I have to reinstall everithing all the time. I'm loosing my patience. No one is able to remedy that problem?

Hi guys,
I am sure that you all know about MS WIndows, if you push the reset button on your computer, the running application and data will be lost.
Do the same with ur PDA, Just close your application after you used it (using task manager or something else), so if it is freeze your data still available in your PDA.
I hope it might be helped.
sorry if i have mistaken

I haven't seen anyrom yet that lets you be able to do this. But just make your changes (GPRS settings, WLM settings and more) and then shut down the device and after that turn it on again. Then you cant lose those settings.. And if it freezes, use the stylus, the settings that you have changed before the normal shutdown will still be saved.
RE
I know that but with one single notification... On PDA, mail is everytime opened and cannot be closed. Once you reset the device, will loose mail settings. All the data setting in your mail are stored in "cemail.vol". This cannot be saved because is opened all the time.

do you any application to close the application ? because if i use task manager, i can see the running application on my PDA, it is just a theory since i never use my PDA to open the email.

I'm on a 5060 build using the Kitchen. I have HTC Home, S2U2, and anything else that was defaulted in the settings from the basekit.
I had the same problem on DCD 3.0.1 and nue 5054 and 5059. I was told it was advanced config, so I reflashed 5059 without AC, then 5060 without it. The device worked great yesterday, but this morning I couldn't answer the phone again.
I had found something that added a change soft key setting to the systems tab, I installed that and changed the setting to messaging instead of calendar, and that's when the issue returned, so I figured it was something to do with the that. I did a hard reset but the issue still remains. My next resort is a re-flash, but I really don't want to go through all that if I can avoid it.

What do you mean you cannot answer your phone?
The calls don't go through, you cannot use the send key, what's up?
I press the answer softkey or the hardware key, and it doesn't work most of the time. It will mute the ringer, but will not answer the call.
This has been discussed elsewhere in this forum and on brand X. I also had a problem with the phone not answering. If you believe what they say....and I've tried it and it seems to be working for me now......reload a ROM without Advanced Config. This seems to be the common thread to the problem....Now my calls answer almost immediately. Try it...see if it solves the problem
I did that. My 5060 build didn't have AC in it at all.
Do you have SPB Pocket Plus installed? I had the same problems, but it hasn't returned since I uninstalled PocketPlus...
Nope. No SPB. Only default 5060 basekit and HTC home/S2U2.
I've actually gone ahead and re-flashed back to Sprint 3.35, which sucks because I really really liked the 6.1 threaded SMS, but a phone that I can't answer doesn't really do me any good.
I'll just have to wait for an official 6.1 I guess.

the new PocketCM comes with threaded text..
A little update.
The GPRS_bye_if_device_off registry hack is what was causing me not to be able to answer my phone. It was supposed to improve battery life.
I had ran no2chem 5060 for a few weeks without it happening, then went to DCD 3.0.4 and it didn't happen until last night, I tried that hack. Sure enough, after the reboot, that hack is what did it. I was doing this hack just to test that theory so had a back up. I restored it and now the phone works properly again.
Well i need some get. this is not my 1st PPC since i have had thr 6700, titan and not the touch pro but i guess i dont know what im doing...
so i downloaded a few cabs, nothing big. i dont mess with a lot. got some themes, lumos, touch response etc.
i the problems started when i downloaded my last theme but im not 100 % sure that was what caused the problem. i did use advance config and change some things but nothing major, just some setting on the program that said "advised"
well, i had problems and i wanted to delete everything and start over but i couldnt delete a theme.
to make a story short, i was at the mall today and stopped by the sprint store to see if the tech could help me...
some how files got delete and from what i was told the tech couldnt even do a master reset!!! she couldnt figure it out... the phone works but its missing some things.
can i fix this? download a custom ROM? and use that?
i wouldnt think advance config can delete something, or a theme.... i dont know what i did but something happened.
any help would be great
thanks
hold power, down volume and ok button all while pushing the reset button. release the reset button but continue to hold the other three untill the phone reboots into the hard reset menu. hit the volume up button and tada bobs your uncle. if that doesnt work selet clear memory in the settings menu and follow the prompts
the sprint tech couldnt get it to work. she tired a master reset and nothing. they said files where missing.
she has the same phone and tired a lot of things
i dont get how i can erase files like this, i didnt mess with any files... the only thing i have done is download simple cabs
i did use advance config but once again i didnt delete anything. just selected what it said was best.
If I'm hearing you correctly you need to do a Hard Reset....
To do so there are two ways:
First way:
While phone is OFF, press volume down, cener d-pad, and power button until message comes on. Press volume up to complete.
Second way:
While phone is on, press volume down, center d-pad, and stylus-reset until message comes on
it wont do a hard reset
i have done it, sometimes it beeps... i get the htc logo and thats about it. i never get a message or anything, it just goes black like a soft reset
the only diff is that it wont show the sprint logo like when i have done a soft reset... it shows the htc logo
now im worried about downloading cabs. i never had this problem. and i didnt delete anything from the phone. so i dont know who those important files they say are missing got deleted.
the guy at the sprint store on base dialed ##786# and hit the call button, he says that will do a reset or something... and it wouldnt work
nothing else? no one else has a idea of what happened
this is my 3rd ppc and this is a 1st, it would be nice to know what could have cause this problem so i dont do it again.
you guys are no help
Have you tried flashing the ROM over on it? Will it connect to the computer via Activesync?

LMAO!! Now that's funny. The guy at the sprint store doesn't have a clue.
If you do ##786# on the Sprint phone, it should bring up a EPST screen. Which when you press menu, there is an option to reset it, however I doubt that does anything to solve your problem.
I would suggest, trying to flash the ROM back on the phone (if you haven't tried that already)
i have never connected the phone using activesync... i just got the phone like 2 weeks ago ( replaced my mogul)
i was thinking about trying that but havent done it for 2 reasons
1. i have never flashed a ROM
2. im getting a new TP, it has been ordered... if i get to keep the one i have now i will try to flash but i dont want to try it if i have to give up the phone. only to have to change it back
i do want to find out why this happened. like i said, i like to add themes and other programs i like but im worried about messing my new one and then ill be out of luck.
Can anyone help me get to the bottom of theese issues....
Cant make phone calls. When I press the contacts picture it takes the phone about 2 mins before it starts to dial (if it works at all).
When typing texts it is very slow to respond often space bar will not work.
Sometimes when people phone me the loudspeaker is on and cannot be turned off.
Blank screen when waking up from standby.
General system hang up on home screen.
I am using G10 Dusk Ultimate 2 CHT HD2 v5.10 rom. But this happened with stock o2 rom also. I have hard reset sveral times but issue keeps occuring. This is the second HD2 I have had this same issue on.
I am quite new to Winmo although I fix computers for a living so I am thinking this is not a software problem and maybe its down to firmware? I am using radio version 2.07.51.22_2
If anyone can point me in the right direction or help me get to the bottom of theese problems I would be most grateful
I did once make some minor registry edits from the ""Leo's tips and tweaks" thread. Does flashing a new ROM or a hard reset erase these entries or will they still be present?

a hard reset will reset everything to how it was when it was first turned on
all issues were sorted by changing to radio 2.14.50.04
Does anyone ever have issues with the phone/dialer app?
If I try to call someone from contacts, I swipe on their name to the right and nothing happens, if I try again, I notice the contacts app has frozen OR I try to swipe again and nothing happens again. Eventually it might work after 2 or 3 goes.
Then I'll hang up after finally getting it to make the call and the phone immediately tries to make the calls I tried to make earlier... This happens fairly often but not all the time.
OR – (this happens rarely but does happen)
Phone rings, try to swipe the green answer thingo and it just bounces back to where it was, try to swipe/answer again nothing. I can't answer the call. Happened today, really pissed me off. Phone app crashed and refused to make a call after that for about a minute.
Sound familiar to anyone?
Using Android 2.3.5 Vodafone (Australia) stock unrooted.
Anyone?
Would love some help on this.
Yes I am facing the same issues as you.
A few observations:
problems exist on stock dialer app as well as third party dialer apps
It's an intermittent problem i.e. sometimes the problem shows and other times it does not
I was facing the same problem a couple months ago too, since i was running 2.3.3 so i had just upgraded to 2.3.6 and the problem had disappeared. But out of the blue it has again started now while i am running 2.3.6
Currently i am running on stock rom, cf rooted, latest modem.
Am looking for a permanent solution and will post a solution if i find one, in any case hope the official ICS release (due on the 15th) should solve the problem anyways.
Anyone else facing the same problem?
Updates
Usually clearing the cache and calvik cache does not help resolve the issue.
After posting the above post I had just created a ClockWork mod backup and Restored to the same. Dunno how but that resolved the issue, or to be exact, the issue did not surface for a couple days.
Today the issue actually became too much for me to be able to handle.
So I again cleared both cache and dalvik cache and then fixed permissions via CLockWork recovery menu.
Since then I am not facing the issue yet. Hope it works for you too.
(But this is just a preliminary observation and maybe the issue shall resurface with long term use)
p.s. really hoping that the impending ICS update will permanently fix said issue.
