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.
damn, my mogul got f*cked up after installing touchflo. Not trying to blame this program but maybe there could be some conflict? After i installed it and didnt really like it, i tried goin to remove program in setting to remove this, but guess what, nothing showed up in there. For some odd reason i cant remove any program from my phone because the screen was blank. Then i tried to install another program and said unsuccessful whenever i tried to install anything. Does this happened to anyone else? any solution
Posted this 3 times???? Havent u read rules??? Plz. do post only once. N read the rules for sure.
Yeah, youre definitely not the o nly one. the other horrible thing was that after i installed touchflo, i couldnt even sync with my laptop anymore. luckily i had all the programs and all the contacts backed up on activesync. i did a hard reset and resynced and reinstalled and everything was all good again. There probably is some kind of conflict with the system.
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
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
first off, let me say that suggestion feature when you go to make a new post, is awesome. but i didn't find an exact answer.
As per this thread I'm trying to find, copy, and read the PIM.vol file.
I went to sync my phone via active sync, after having installed outlook (so I could do my contacts too) and couldn't get it to connect. So I deleted the partnership on my XP sp3 machine, and partnerships in my HD2. But like a friggin idiot, I didn't uncheck all the boxes for the items in the partnership on the HD2, and it removed stuff unexpectedly. My main concern is all my contacts. Sure, I have most of'm on my sim, but not any from the last 6 months or so. I work for myself, and just lost a ton of clients names and numbers, and need to get them back!
how do I do that?
*EDIT*
Googling this further is not helping my outlook on life.
And I now further hate M$.
Fv(k you billy, I'm loading android.
I definitely understand your frustration... the same happened to me quite some time ago.
I was a bit more lucky because as a "flashaholic", I made backups of all my stuff all the time, let´s say at least once a week.
If there´s no backup at all (not even PIM Backup, Google Mail, MS MyPhone or whatever in addition to Outlook), data is lost...
The thing what happened here is not a Windows Mobile issue only, it happened to quite a lot of friends with their iPhone or Android devices, too.
A decent backup solution is always recommendable, especially if you´re using the data in your own business... even with Android, trust me on that.
Well, I only lost bout 35 new contacts (that weren't on my sim), and I can, with some work, recover the ones missing that I need to with some work.
And, I'm most annoyed at the fact that I deleted the "partnership" and it took all the data with it.
I also, as it just so happens, redid all my other computers with upgrades and fresh installs, as well as cleaning out both my backup drives, purging "unnecessary" info (unnecessary my ace).
That's ok, now I have to get all my data straight, and backed up, so it's a good time to hard reset, and load up some other OS to try out!
look in the Outlook's recycle bin, with a bit of luck your 35 contacts might have ended there
been there, done that ..
fortunately had some backup few months old .. so no new contacts .. tough luck .. but now i learned my lesson, and i use gmail for contacts, so no matter if i play with android or wm (myself prefer wm) i jusy sync with google.
it even syncs difference (no matter if you enter new contact in phone or google, it appears in both places.
