I'm running the latest HTC ROM for Sprint and I was just wondering if anyone had experienced problems with SPB Pocket Plus 4.0. I install it and it works fine for a little while, but then my phone starts randomly shutting off. Then when I power it on or soft-reset it, the HTC Mobility start up screen flashes for a second and the phone shuts off again. It randomly turns back on after awhile.
Anyone else have this happening?
Programs I also have installed myself:
SPB Phone Suite
A_C S2U2
Supware.net iContact
LogMeIn Hamachi
Microsoft Live Search
did you try restoring a full backup or a backup of your registry? or was SPB a fresh install?
SPB was freshly installed. I upgraded to the new HTC ROM, didn't bother backing anything up, and then just started re-installing the programs I wanted.
hmm i dunno what to tell ya then. i never had random shutoffs like you did, but SPB apps caused me some trouble when i tried installing them from a backup. if you have just started reloading programs, i would just hard reset.
Yea that's what I usually have to do once it won't boot back up. I really like the program. Too bad it won't work. Ah well. Thanks for your help.

If it is not a hardware issue you should be fine. There are many people running this software including myself that have had no problems.
Uninstall and reinstall PP then soft reset the phone. If that doesn't work, reflash and install PP before anything else.

do you reinstall all your apps at once? thats what i used to do, and would hold off resetting my phone after the SPB apps installed until ALL programs were back on. i found that this actually did some harm, and the SPB apps didnt run correctly. if you are doing this, hard reset your phone, then load all your apps except any SPBs. soft reset, then install your SPB apps one at a time.
hmmm... ok. I will give all of that a try. hopefully the results will be better this time around.
Well it seems it wasn't the programs, but the phone itself. Even after a hard reset and fresh flash of the Stock ROM everything still goes haywire. Sometimes it boots fine. But when I power it off and try to power it on again the start up screen flashes and appears to go off, but then the phone begins to boot after a couple seconds. Also, last night I was setting an alarm and had the keyboard open and when I slid it close the phone shut off. Any ideas?
ROM: 3.35.651.2
Radio: 3.35.05
SPL: 2.06.0000
I've searched this a little but haven't really found any sort of solution to this relatively simple problem. My Touch Pro works great overall, but after I use Opera, whenever I want to open a different program, open Opera again, or essentially open any window, the phone hangs with the WM symbol in the middle (just thinking). It eventually goes away, and fails to execute whatever I want it to open. A soft reset brings it back to good, but that is a pain when you have to do it 5-7 times a day to make ur phone work. Is there anything in the registry perhaps I should be checking? I feel as though memory is being dumped somewhere after a program is used and it is clogging the phone. Any insight would be great. Thanks!
Ok i have a alltel touch pro, stock rom the only thing i have changed was the theme. i have diamond tweak and tf3d config and advance config tool all installed. For some reason I will pull my phone out of my pocket turn the screen on and the data will be on. I have weather, gps, and all other options that use data turned off unless i tell it to turn on. (or so i think)
Is there anything you guys know of that would be a reason for my data to be coming on automatically. it is killing my battery and it is becoming annoying to after having my screen off for an hour or so (sometimes more) to pull it out and the data be on for no reason.
any help please?
thanks

I also had the same problem. My phone did the exactly same thing, but since I have a notification on my phone on when this would occur it I would press and hold the end key to terminate the data.
What I did to get rid of it was first backed up all of contacts, sms, etc..
and did a hard reset.
Got rid of all of the extras I had installed.
And reinstalled only the things that I needed.
for example net.3.5 tf3d config, personalizer.
If you don't have a back up program (make sure you have a sim card as when you back up you'll be backing it up into your sim) use PPCPimBackup.exe which you could find through google.
I'm still a noob to ppcs and my touch pro, but if you have any questions on how to do the following just let me know.
If you download advanced config tool you can set the data connection to turn off automatically. There are also a ton of other options that will help optimize your phone and save battery
Do you have an E-mail account set up on your device? If so, you may have set it to connect every so often. One other thing that comes to mind would be if the QuickGPS app needs to update the certificates, it will connect to the internet.
You may want to get a custom rom in your device. This will get rid of a lot of junk...
Good luck!
Hello there guys. This is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me. I have problem on my device. Basically my htc hd2 was running fine, i had all my programs installed etc. I have created various backups of the phone using sprite backup.
I decided to do a hard reset because the phone never used to go into standby (screen off) when charging, only the backlight used to dim. I checked all the settings and i set the device to dim after 1 min and switch off after 2 mins when connected to external power. It still never switched off, this was turning out to be a nuisence specially when getting missed calls at night and screen staying on.
Therefore i done a hard reset and used sprite backup to restore various backup's as i had a few, but they wernt making the device function correctly. So once the backup file's were restored everything would be fine on the phone untill it went into standby, it then would fail to respond, sometimes the hardware button light up, sometimes nothing. The screen would remain off. I would really like to use the backup files as restoring the phone manually would be teadous. Any clues in what could be causing this, cant be the case off a bad backup as i have created a few.
P.S When hd2 is returned to stock it functions normally. Programs installed battlog, clear temp, bsb tweakes opera 10, opnmarket, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd 1.5.1.0 v2.1, coreplayer 1.3.6, myplayer, 1NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, 2NETCFv35.Messages.EN.wm, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab.
Really appreciate it if you pros can shed any light on this? cheers
Same problem here!
Hi,
I face exactly the same problem - some days ago I was forced into a hard reset because I couldn't unlock my HD2 anymore (the PIN was not accepted anymore, which seems to be a know Win Mobile 6 bug...).
Nevertheless, after the hard reset, I restored from a previous Sprite Backupset and now the phone most of the time never wakes up from standby anymore - this drives me nuts!
I really do not to install everything from scratch (what is backup good for if the restored system does not function properly??
Any clues how to solve this issue?
Jan
Seems like the program you are using for backups of software isn't backing up properly and creating a corrupt backup. I would recommend just reinstalling everything from scratch.
What i recommend is just saving all the cab files on your SD card and when you need to hard-reset you can just run through all the installation instead of keep downloading the cab files. Also some Roms have auto-install folders where you can place your cab files in a certain folder and it will install everything for you. Other than that your pretty much SOL. Hope this helps.

SPB Backup v2.1.0 build.3536 has served me well ...
SPB Backup. I've had to restore backups to my phone several times, and it's worked like a charm. Be sure to consider using the SPB Backup Sync feature, which allows you to also so keep copies of your backups on another computer.

I think, I have solved the problem. I reinstalled and re-configured all our common programs (battClock, clear temp, bsb tweakes, opera 10, skype, spb wireless monitor, coreplayer, srs wowhd, NETCFv35.wm.armv4i, resco explorer + reg editor, cht cookie hometab) and it work with no problem in the last 24 hours. It means that one of the above programs couldn't be restored properly with the "sprite backup".
Hey guys, my HD2 touchscreen has basically become unresponsive. I used to be able to take the battery out a couple of times until it worked again but that doesn't seem to be able to work any more. The Phone still works as the hard buttons work and I'm getting messages and phone calls but I basically can't use the touch features. I was wondering if anyone had a way I could read my messages or back them up to my pc without having to use the screen? I have a couple unread ones that are pretty important that I don't want to lose by hard resetting or before I send my phone back. Any suggestions about the screen or the messages would be massively appreciated. Cheers guys.
try using MyMobiler to connect HD2 to PC/notebook, run MyMobiler & you will get screen displayed on pc & can control it via PC hardware. "MyMobiler" link is in my signature. Only problem I see is if your HD2 USB connection option is not Activesync you may not get this to work
As for backup best tool is SPB Backup or free but not so complete option is PIM Backup
Ok thanks for that, unfortunately I didn't have my phone on activesync so I've done a hard reset and it will be sent back tomorrow to resolve the screen issue. Thanks for your help anyway
