Hi Guys
I have a problem with my Startrk 100 (i-mate smartflip EU). Quite a long time ago I successfully installed GnatGoSplat's wm6.1 and it worked flawlessly for what feels like well over a year. I then recently started having problems with the xT9 inputting, so I decided to update the ROM, this time using one of Partizan/Erofich's newer standard 6.1 ROMs (the one with the bluewater background).
Unfortunately, on my smartflip, this had a problem with random reboots (usually as I tried to reply to sms messages), so I decided to go back to GnatGoSplat's ROM, assuming that Partizan's ROM was intended for one of the Startrk versions with more memory than mine.
After re-flashing with the GnatGoSplat ROM, the splash screen remains as Partizan's ROM and unfortunately (and no offence to Partizan), I still have the problem of the phone rebooting randomly. I take it that re-flashing with GnatGoSplat's ROM has not completely removed the Partizan ROM. Is there a way of wiping the phone clean so that it only has the GnatGoSplat ROM or can someone suggest a relatively simple way to prevent whatever causes my phone rebooting? (The last question because anything other than really simple measures will be beyond my skill level).
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
For one, I'm using i-mateSmartflip too, and I don't have any problems with Erofich's ROM. Actually, as far as I am concerned, I think it it the most stable ROM around. I've used all of the ROMs here and by far it is the best.
With regards to the Splash screen, GnatGoSplat's ROM does not have one, that's why your still using Erofich's Splash, even though you've gone back to GnatGoSplat's ROM.
Cleaning your phone totally, simply reinstall/reflash your Official ROM. And after that reupgrade to your preferred ROM. Try reinstalling Erofich's v7b again, as I've said, It's working smoothly on my I-mate and it's by far the best I've used. Hope this Helps...
Thanks for that.
I'll give that a try and start back at the official WM5 ROM and then try Erofich's standard ROM again.
Once again, many thanks for the prompt reply.
Reboot issue on star Trek
This is hardware issue not rom
A trick I found on Howard Forums works. There is a switch that was added after the fact to keep you from pulling the MicroSD card out with the power on. Before, the card slot was located underneath the battery (thus solving the power problem), but they moved it to under the SIM card (WHY?!?!?!).
Anyway, what's worked for me is to take a small piece of folded paper and placing it over the switch. I also secured the paper with a small piece of scotch tape to make sure it wouldn't fall into the phone. You'll have to experiment with how thick of a piece of paper to use, but you don't need much. You'll want to still be able to close the cover without too much resistance.
My phone started rebooting about a month after purchase, and it got progressively worse by the week until it was happening about 4 times a day. I did the paper trick about a week ago and not a single reboot since!
Good luck!
Random reboots
Aha. Well, I was just going to report that since posting this thread originally, and without doing anything with regards to altering the ROM, of course I have not had a problem with it since!! S*d's law, but Atlwas' post makes sense since I have been taking my SIM card and SD card out of the phone quite a bit and it is entirely possible that the phone is under the impression that the SD card is still there when it isn't etc. Anyhow, I'll go with the old adage that if it ain't broke, don't fix it... well, for now, anyhow!
Once again, many thanks for both sets of suggestions.
Oh......God....I can't help......good lucky!

Hi experts...
Well, I have just recently upgraded to WM2003SE with ZeroXtreme modified ROM. Lately, while I was using my xda 2, probably it process pretty much heavy task and got hang. I did a soft the first time, it was somehow froze at the splash screen. Thought I waited longer than the usual time it'd load to windows, impatiently I soft reset the second time.
Surprisingly It proceeded to the align window which was actually done by hard reset. I was still puzzled even now, wonder whether it does happen like with the upgrade or just on my machine.
However, before this happen, I did somehow accidentally got my xda 2 knock against the ground quite lightly and a little scratch was on my baby's... Not sure if that was part of the cause of the auto-hard reset?
After reinstalling all applications back, I did some trial and error to test if it reoccur by soft resetting a few times and pressing multiple buttons simultaneously or any other way that I could think of to test out.
And so far it didn't auto-hard reset again. But, sometimes, if I soft reset it, it'd froze at the 2nd splash screen (the first splash screen where it displays the rom version,etc for short). Hence, i need to soft-reset it another time to get back working.
Experts please give advise or anyone experience the same occurence please do share. thanks.
Hi buddy,
The hang/delay while soft reset seems to be a common problem for 2.06 ROM. I have the same problem as well. Someone suggested the XCPUScaler could help a bit and it does....well, not totally. Sin from Australia suggested a merge of 2.02t and 2.06 ROMs can resolve the problem. I haven't try it yet but if you would like to give it a go, do a search in the Forum.
Have a great Christmas!
Cheers!
Check the DB_notify_queue database as it might contain lots of records ... use CheckNotify to clear it as the clearnotify.exe fix doesn't
P.S: it shouldn't contain more than 20 records in average

Hi!
I use CheckNotify and check that they were 21 records. I guess it's normal then, since you said it shouldn't be more than 20 records. So, do you think I should still run the "clearfix.exe"?
I was just puzzled, how on earth that it could hard-reset by itself, when I was expecting a soft-reset on the machine.
I tried to recollect how was it possible to happen, and I thought it could be due to the one time that it slipped off my hand and knock on the ground lightly while I was trying to snap a picture that's closed to the floor. Other than these, I'm not too sure what's the cause could be, cause it might be too technical for me to discover :?
I think this is the problem of using non-official rom, especially main one. I have similar problem but not that serious. This is our trade off as no one force us to flash our rom.
Sometime I think it might be hardware problem too, as my wife is using 1.66WWE (I did not flash her machine), it sometimes hard reset automatically too... Also, everything change sim card - even if the 2nd battery is full, it still lost all the data.
Might be the machine is too complicated or might be this is a common feature of all the windows products.
My phone was fine for a while, although I noticed that the time that it took to load my today screen after a reboot was extremely prolonged after time. I did a hard reset today and backed all my files up with spm back up or sbp? Anyway as I loaded the backup file executable, I noticed when it loaded system files that I saved from my passed phone my phone froze. So I went back and loaded all the files except system and it has been working fine and loading a lot faster, but the freezing still happens. I will list the times I have noticed when it will frequently freeze on me:
When I get a call it will just keep vibrating then I will have to soft reset
When I get in and out of MMS or finish a text
Sometimes my screen won't even turn back on after I didn't it after a day of paintball.
I use Radio rom 3.42.50
Also, this freezing awkwardly began to occur when I started having long conversations with this chick on the phone. Maybe it is a battery problem? If so, if any of you would be kind to get me the stock rom and or dcd 3.2.6 if i need to reinstall anything. I also used the usb unlocking cab not the memory card one, I will even offer money. This is very irritating because this is my business phone and the soft resets lose the last calls and texts I receive. Most of them are very important which is why this sucks so bad, excuse if this is long but many people do not provide sufficient info to troubleshoot to problem.
Thank you guys once again.
P.S I will post in both Titan and Titan upgrading since I am unaware to post this , mod please delete if I am breaking any of the rules.

I suspect that this is the issue... stop doing this, cuz it's against "The Man Law" Article 8, section 4.... "A man shall NOT engage in lengthy phone chat with a women unless it's about sex, hunting or eating..."
lol
Oh trust the conversation was full of sex , and phone sex
You aren't alone; I was having all sorts of problems like this from 3.26 onward... but now that I've been using 6.5 builds from PPCGeeks, this problem has gone away entirely.
Make the jump d00d.
Can I get a link for that? Any of you think it may be the battery? Yesterday when it was out of battery I plugged it in and it didn't even want to start up anymore. Also the battery was getting pretty hot that usual , very much like it has been used for a long period of time.
I wonder if anyone on Bell is using 6.5. Maybe I should make the jump.
Just installed 21501 by Tplane and got a freeze already. Is there any possible way the issue may be the battery.
My touch screen will not work at all, everything else on the phone works just fine. I tried a hard reset and now I am stuck at the alignment screen. Any suggestions.. Anyone run across this error?
Thanks
reflash bro
put the stock rom back on
and then put the modded rom on
and it should be fine
Typically means something is interfering with the recognizer.
If you are using a protective case (shell) or screen protector, try removing them temporarily to see if they may be causing your problem.
I didn't have anything over the screen.. Any idea why it would do something like that?? I'm going to reflash to stock and back to modded ROM tonight and I'll let you guys know in the morning.. Thanks for your help.
Could be a "bad" flash.
If it still happens with the stock ROM flash, you may have a defective unit on your hands.
Hardware problem?
I had the exact same problem about a week ago. I tried reflashing the device, hard reset, etc. In the end, I couldn't even get past the screen calibration wizard. My conclusion was that I had some kind of harware problem -- the touch screen would respond intermittently for brief periods of time and then go unresponsive again.
My fix: I took the phone to my ATT service center who, much to my gleeful surprise, gave me a new one (warranty exchange) without any hassle. I expected to have to fight with them, but the transaction was trivial and stress-free.
I'm now deciding which WM 6.5 ROM I like the best. Many thanks to all the hard-working contributors and chefs on XDA for providing such awesome content and support!
Good Luck with your phone
i also had this problem recently. phone was working fine in the night, went to bed and woke up and was unresponsive. Tried everything. I ended up flashing back to all the stock stuff and sent it in for repairs. I got the screen and dpad replaced under warranty. I have no idea what caused it, but it happened. Definately not a software issue if you have reflashed...
my advise, flash back to stock spl and your carrier rom and send it back.
I had a similar problem and opened a thread as well. My problem in chronological order
1. Bought a TMobile MDA IV over ebay.
2. Flashed several different ROMs of WM6.1 and was just enjoying myself.
3. Installed a 6.5 ROM the calibration screen required me to go through 3 full circles.
4. Worked fine for a day, then the device was locked and watever I tried I just couldnt get to open it up
5. Did softreset, it didnt help either. I Would end up at lock screen
6. Finally got back to HTC stock ROM 6.1, and I couldnt get past the calibration screen for a month.
7. My conclusion as well, that its a hardware problem, unfortunatel where I live I dont have Tmobile and the screen from touch pro is slightly different in size to the tmobile variant.
8. Hence it was a brick!!!!
9. After a month just last week, I thought of trying to flash back to 6.5 and see if it works.
10. Went calibrating in circles for about 10 times and guess wat!!!! It starts up!!!!
Now my conclusions are as good as anyones, it cant be an hardware issue. I am trying to find a solution so I can reflash my ROM and go to a stable version and live with my phone atleast for an year.
The Mystic ROM lite version has touch response software built in, Could this be the issue.
Anyones got any idea let me know
Hello all, I have decided to catalog all of the missing icons and rebooting issues into one spot as I have just received a new phone from Toshiba because my old phone repeatedly rebooted upon boot... and now my new phone is repeatedly rebooting upon boot, which is the same thing that my old phone did! Also, I can't remember how I solved the "missing icons from programs installed on SD card problem" but I have that same problem again. Now, I live in Japan, I have tried most of the radios, could living in Japan cause my phone to reboot? Like could the radio when it is trying to connect to the tower not like the signal and then fux up n' reboot? I need help, I know Kevin P. White played around with this issue, I know that most of the people on this board had this issue at one time or another. Any ideas friends?

Rebooting Issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648809
I tell you, if someone can help me with the rebooting issue, it would be so much appreciated. It is so frickin’ annoying to have the phone just almost boot up, then freeze for about 2-3 minutes before rebooting, then it will do this 3-4 times before it is stable. Someone else has to have this problem as I just got a brand spankin' new phone from Toshiba, and I still am experiencing the same problems that I did before. Thank you,
What the hell am I doing wrong? It must be my fault right?... I mean... There is no way that two phones from Toshiba could be having the same problem, so what am I doing that very few other people are doing?
I have tried using all of my stupid skills to come up with a solution, but... no avail. I need help.
-Kilimessed.
PS: I will fix this problem, this post will catalog all of the known issues and fixes with this device, I can promise you, I will fix this basterd.
[UPDATE] - Trying one of FFBOY's roms [ROM][ENG]FFBOY'S WM6.5 21914+Manila 20161332!Radio5005.1700.05!8/8 - I read in one of those posts that he uses a different SD Card driver. Will report back later.
[UPDATE2] - It is later now, I do not have an SD card problem anymore, FFBOY's rom has definitly solved that issue, however, the rebooting problem still persists. It will begin to boot, just past the splash screen, then freeze for 10seconds to 2minutes depending upon the barametric pressure at that time... ehheeh.. **** ... i donno.. but.. anyways.. if someone can help me with the rebooting problem, that would be much apreciated. Ok, so I have done the following, I have removed the SD card and the SIM card but it still freezes/reboots 2-3 times before loading windows. Anyone else here having the same issue?
The solution to all these issues is simple : Don't install your applications onto the SD Card.
Once you've moved everything into the phone memory, you'll find it all works much better !
What about the cycle boot freeze problem? Oh man, I would give anything to have my stupid phone boot properly!... Again, it will freeze 2-3 times, then it will boot properly, it doesn't matter if there is no sim card and/or sd card installed at the time. Anyone experienced this?
Hi Kilihari! I had a similar problem with my TG01. I'm not firm in programming windows mobile, so I can't give you an advice in this direction...
but when that occured on my TG (plus freezing phone when press slightly on the backside of it), I sent it to the Toshiba-service partner for warranty - and got it back, still having the same problem -freezing after light pressure on the back-cover and independent from that (occured before) recycling boot (only 30% of the boot-trials worked properly). So I recorded a video with the problems and sent it back to Toshiba service the next day...
The result: My phone received a new motherboard, new IMEI etc. Which one of the two faults was the cause for replacement...i don't know, but maybe the recycling boot is rather a hardware-fault-caused problem than software-caused...
Good luck in finding a solution!

i ther, I have not had a problem with rebooting but I do get the missing icons quite a lot.
I find that using Sense roms is fine, I assume that while Sense is loading the system has more time to scan the sd card and load the icons. But this has a knock on effect on both memory and battery life.
I did find a rom somewhere (cant remember which one) which had a very lengthy boot/startup animation and the icons appeard fine. But it took a while to load so I changed this to a more traditional logo and the icons dissapeared.
I uninstalled this but the icons never came back and I did read that by changing the startup wait times this could also fix the problem so I tried experimenting and trashed my TG01 and I had to hard reset to clear and since then I have not 'experimented' since.
If someone has some spare time on their hands and dosent mind all the reboots they may find an answer but in the end I had to make customised icons and use JWD icon changer
Thanks guys for your help, I am sending my phone back to Toshiba, I will do this up again, I will pay for it, I don't care, I got to get this fixed.
Good luck and keep us posted
Problem Solved!!!!
Good news.
So I decided to give it one last shot, to try just one more time to get my phone working properly. I turned it on and preformed a “Master Clear” on my phone, stock Toshiba ROM freshly downloaded from their website, just to give it one more shot. I didn’t want to take out my SIM card from my secondary ASUS phone so I just took the pre-paid “Pay-as-you-go” SIM card from Softbank Mobile here in Japan (we use it sometimes when we have company over from Canada). A very interesting thing happened... right from the very beginning, I noticed that my phone was much more responsive and stable, I noticed that it didn’t freeze or reboot. It was perfect. The radio for the Japanese Docomo T01a is 5005.1901.1.20 which must make it possible for it to work with Japanese SIM cards, of course the new radio for UK Orange is 5001.0001.76. My "pay-you-go" SIM card looks like the previous generation's SIM, whereas my official Softbank SIM card looks newer. Anyways, the pay-as-you go SIM works, well the other SIM worked too, but this time my phone doesn't reboot, IT IS STABLE!!!! Meaning my phone is good. If anyone would like me to go further and take some photos of the SIMs, I can, just so if anyone encounters this problem ever again, we now have some additional information for the people in this community. If someone is experiencing the same problem as I am, you can just get a pay-as-you-go card or use a different carrier’s card and it might work, but the rebooting at boot and random freezes are not caused because of defect in my phone.
WoW.... I can't believe after a year and a half of pain, misery, and suffering, that it all came down to a stupid pay-as-you-go SIM card... also, my phone still froze without a SIM card in it, but after I had put in the pay-as-you-go SIM card, then it froze one more time, but the second time it booted, and then after it booted properly, then it has been good ever since, even without a SIM… now it is good. I can't believe this... honestly can't believe this. Even if it reboots once a day, there is no problem with that, but it has been totally stable... holy ****.... holy crap, it hasn’t rebooted in a whole DAY!!!! Moral of the story, buying a phone from a different country has issues related to it. EHEEHHEEHH.. Ummm... weirdest thing, ok, so, it seems like the pay-as-you-go card updated something in my phone or, allowed something to update. Then I put in my normal SIM card and all is good. When my phone starts to act funny, then I pop back in the pay-as-you-go SIM card for a minute, then turn off my phone and then put back in my normal Softbank SIM card. WOW!!
Also, Supbro's iContacts, iDialer, GreenButton and Ashiqiqbal's Host v1.5 are awesome programs... I feel like a kid in a candy story who has been held back savoring the sweet smells of the candy for over a year, I am now just installing program after program on this phone, just playing with things, eating all the candy!

Recently my phone started occasionally going into a slow-as-molasses mode where even the simplest task takes 20-30 secs to complete. Of course this makes the phone completely unusable. If I'm on a call and it happens it just turns itself off mid-call or sometimes automatically reboots but the reboot takes forever and the problem is still there. I end up having to take the battery out for a few seconds then it will work normally until the next episode. I have the CPU set to the max speed so normally it's fine. Also, I have a triple battery set-up so there is usually plenty of juice left when this happens. I have no idea what is triggering this and luckily it only happens occasionally. I'm using fxdjacentyfxd's excellent 6.5 ROM and having no other problems. If anyone has a solution or workaround or has experienced this please advise.
Thanks & Merry Christmas!
If the phone is getting hot I have bad news for you. It might be procesor. The one we have is in HD2 and xperia x10 if i remmeber well. The HD2 and same xperia x10 had a big problem overheating and rebooting whille talking , sms-ing, music listening, multitasking... I hope that isn't case for you. Haven't heard yet that someone had broken CPU around here on tg01. P.S. flash new ROM
I have this problem myself with my TG. The only solution it was Miro8 rom in my case. It is because your carrier.

The phone is not getting hot. Removing the battery then reinstalling it always fixes the problem (so far). I may have to do a hard (master) reset if the problem persists as I realize that one of the problems with Windows Mobile is it is prone to occasionally getting corrupted, at least in my experience with custom WM 6.0 ROM on my HTC 8525 over three years.

Any idea how the carrier can cause the problem? I've had the same carrier for 5 years including several months with the TG01 and never had this problem before.
yeah, its a WinMo issue
the software gets corrupted.
I faced this issue on my older WinMo devices. best bet is to hard reset!

In my case the carrier has two separate network (one for 2G and one for 3G), but it is certain that if i use the phone under that carrier it works as you described!
I put another sim (from another carrier) and the phone work great! So i identify the problem as beeing created by the carrier network or phone radio!
But i tried diferent radio and the result was that no mather the radio version I use the phone get slow in Cosmote network (the carrier I speak of).
Hi, I had exactly the same problem about one year ago.
Used to work the 'hard reset' stuff but in a days it slows down again and again.
I checked my SD card on the PC and looked like it was working fine, but it really wasn't. I had the final clue by using by a few days the phone without the SD... It worked just fine without sd.
So I decided to buy a ultra cool (an expensive BTW) SDHC class 10 and every problem with TG01 was solved!
Well, not every problem... Still having a little one with the GPS signal and the 3G data but it's not about the same thing.. but i'll still reading post here. Just forgot about this problem cause I was using some cooked roms from this place, but I had to return to the Movistar ES original in order to unlock the phone and now... you know, just don't work anymore. If I can't finx this **** with the original rom I'll go back to another coocked one.
Good luck!

Greetings from Thailand, kijotex! Hadn't considered the SD card as the possible problem. Mine is a 16GB Class 6 and seems to work fine. Did you check your SD card for errors or reformat it before buying the new card? I've used the same card in my previous phone, an HTC 8525/Hermes without problems (that I know of).
Thanks for responding & Happy New Year!

So you solve the problem with S-L-O-W think?
How did you solve it?
what was wrong?
I ask you because in my case only after switching the carrier I could use the phone again!

I backed up everything on the phone late the other night and was going to hard/master reset it the next morning but got called out of town and didn't do it. I did swap out my custom triple-battery pack and went back to my original Toshiba battery for a day. Surprisingly, the phone worked normally so re-installed the triple battery pack and it has been working 'normally' since then. I have no idea why. Between the quirks in Windows Mobile and the TG01 quirks I just never know what this phone is going to do next. If/when the s-l-o-w mode problem shows up again I'll hard/reset it and post again.
Cheers...

I finally did the master-clear this week as the phone was getting completely unusable. That seems to have helped tremendously but the phone went into the SLOW mode again today and I had to reboot it 2 or 3 times before it finally was normal. I had just played the Tiger Woods golf game on it for about 30 minutes so wonder if that didn't contribute somehow. I then went into Toshiba Power settings and unchecked the Reduce CPU speed if low battery box even though immediately after playing the game the battery meter showed 70%, but we all know how buggy that is.
My phone was getting screwed up because the case (actually a thin sleeve) was too tight and it allowed buttons to get mashed while it was in my pocket. This may not have been a problem except I had the Lock function disabled. Over time that random button pushing definitely corrupted WM6.5 just like it had done to my old HTC 8525. I'm now using a 2.5" USB external hard drive case until I can find a better fitting one.
I think I finally solved the problem. [crosses fingers] The Master Clear helped with some of the problems, but didn't cure the random S-L-O-W mode. I ended up reinstalling the same ROM and so far the phone is working flawlessly. I'm guessing that WM6.5 became corrupted over time and that was the culprit. I also had the phone Lock disabled and that continually caused buttons to get accidentally pressed while bicycling and/or jogging and speed walks. I personally feel the buttons need a bit more spring tension, especially the Sleep/Lock button on the left hand side. The Lock is enabled now so hopefully that will help.

My phone was getting screwed up because the case (actually a thin sleeve) was too tight and it allowed buttons to get mashed while it was in my pocket. ............... I'm now using a 2.5" USB external hard drive case until I can find a better fitting one.

In case it may be of interest, I have been using the Capdase leather sleeve case for a long time now without any issues. Nice red microfibre lining and pull tab to extract the phone easily. This UK supplier says no longer available, but most likely there are some about if you search a bit.
Best regards,

Hi Kevin,
Nice to 'hear' from you again and thanks for the tip. I'm using the Mugen back cover for their 2600 mAh battery, although with my custom battery pack. The phone is now about 1/2"(17mm) thick. Do you think this Capdase sleeve will fit?
I'm also glad you answered as I was about to post a new thread or PM you with a question about cooking my own phone config into a custom ROM. After just having to reinstall all of my add-ons, customized SPB GUI, etc., twice while trying to fix this problem, I'm now thinking about backing up everything with a custom ROM. That way if I have to reinstall the ROM I won't have to spend another couple of days getting the phone config back to where it was. I've perused the TG01 kitchen thread but confess I'm still confused about how to do it. And since 99.9% of my stuff is installed on the microSD card will the new custom ROM be able to access that existing data?
Finally, I have to say this phone continues to amaze me (when WM isn't acting up). I just can't see any benefit to 'upgrading' to WP7 like many have done, possibly bricking the phone in the process, or trashing the SDcard, etc. as it just doesn't seem worth it. Now I admit that the reason I bought this phone last year was to install Android, but after having a Viewsonic G-Tablet for a few months with a custom Gingerbread 2.3 ROM installed on it I just gave the tablet back (to my buddy) as it was so freakin' buggy. Bottom line is I'm not so impressed with Android at this point, especially custom ROMs. Anyway, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
I look forward to your sage advice.
Cheers!
Jim
Well... It appears the TG01 show is over
My TG01 has now gone into permanent S-L-O-W mode and I can't get it out of it. I've soft reset it probably 20-25 times, even yanked the battery out while it's still on hoping to shock the system. Did this many times and it didn't make any difference. I even left the battery out all night last night hoping for a miracle this morning. Of course, no change. I'm afraid to try to reinstall the ROM again as it probably couldn't complete the task before the battery runs down. As it is now I can't even make a call as it simply goes so slow it won't even connect, so if I can't find a solution soon the TG01 is going into the trash bin. During the past 3 weeks I have spent way too many hours trying to resolve this problem and have simply run out of ideas and patience. I also Googled it and a few people have had the exact same problem but no one has posted a solution.
If anyone has a tip or suggestion please advise.
tg01 getting slower
In my case the issue was fully solved by: reformatting sd card (full format) and reflashing the ROM. No freezings since I did it 2 months ago. So, I would say it's either your sd card or your ROM. A hardware failure is also possible but it worth trying before throwing your tg01 in the trash Good luck!

Hi mikiril,
Thanks for the fast response. I've tried everything including reflashing the ROM and even that only worked for a few days. I've been researching the problem again this morning and found the problem and a temporary solution. The problem is device.exe is running wide open using between 95%-100% of CPU cycles. A French TG01 website says it has something to do with clicking on the Restrict Sleep Mode button in the Toshiba Power Saving Settings menu, which I had done at some point, but later went back and unchecked it. Their 'solution' is to activate both Bluetooth and WiFi then turn them off. I confirm that does work until the next bootup or Soft Reset. Maybe there's something in the registry that can undo whatever clicking on Restrict Sleep Mode has done. At least the phone is working at normal speed again, temporarily, so I have a little bit of hope.
Thanks!
