On 5/19/11 I noticed my phone was getting hot and was not responding when I hit the red key to wake it up. I thought I had an application that was causing the problem so after dealing with it for a couple of days I did a hard reset and started rebuilding my phone app by app.

Well, it didn't take long before it started happening again. At this point I had only configured my email accounts, 1 gmail and 2 other. I thought my phone was about to die (it just came off warranty last month). Then I noticed that tmail.exe was running and consuming ~95% cpu. I figured it was something to do with sending and receiving mail so I went to my email accounts and found that my gmail account was stuck at logging on.

I deleted the gmail account and the problem has gone away. This is not an acceptable solution because I get most of my mail through gmail.

My question is this: WTF is google trying to do now that our email accounts lock up our winmo phones and is this happening to any other os's?

This started happening to me as well on my Touch Pro 2.

tmail.exe gets stuck at 100% and when I open gmail it appears to be hung at "disconnecting"

The account works fine if I click send/receive manually. This just started happening a few days ago.

I suspect most people are not savvy enough to realize the problem is tmail-gmail.

Count me in on this problem too. HTC HD2, WM6.5. First noticed something was up on Friday morning (5/20) when I woke up and my phone was dead. Recharged during the day but the battery was still draining and phone was running hot! Sure enough, tmail.exe running 95% cpu. I've just deleted my gmail account, but this isn't really a solution of course. Prior to that, I tried switching over from imap to pop, both via gmail settings and on the phone, but that didn't stop tmail from jamming up again upon manual send/receive. I'm sorry that I have nothing to add except more confirmation of the problem.
[General Topics] Sneakyghost:
this problem was reported first in duttys rom thread.there is quite some discussion on that matter over there.it could be interesting to work on a solution here instead of in the rom thread.

user ny_limited has done some detective work already.maybe he can come over here.

[General Topics] cajunflavoredbob:
Just so we're clear, this is a problem with Google. They changed a bit of data within their IMAP processing at or around 1900 on 19 May 2011 EST. This is when the problems began rolling out. Google is the one that needs to fix the problem. It is in no way related to anyone's ROM.

To fix the problem temporarily, you can switch Gmail to use POP3 access instead of IMAP or set it up as an exchange server. The exchange server would consume far less battery than either IMAP or POP. Do a search for the settings. It's pretty simple.

EDIT: Google is aware of the problem and is working to fix it. Check the following thread for updates into the matter.

IMAP access from POutlook is randomly hanging - Windows Mobile 6.5.x
[General Topics] rcgators:
Temp Fix

I saw this in the Google thread and tested it. It works!!

In your mail configuration, go into manual setup and change the server address to POP.GMAIL.COM. Yes, IMAP works on pop address and it connects/disconnects correctly. ;)

EDIT: Google must have made a change because both addresses resolve to the same server. What was once a hard failure every time now seems to work for a while but some are reporting that it still eventually hangs tmail. Let's hope they're rolling out a fix...
[General Topics] justmeandmyphone:
Starting over from scratch solves the problem.

Either delete cemail.vol or do a hard reset. Seems that freshly configured Gmail accounts don't cause freezes.

Did this, now my Lion works like a charm again.:D

Update: deleting, soft resetting and reconfiguring all Gmail accounts also does the job.
[General Topics] rtied:
I have tried this multiple times since Friday and the Gmail account still locks up after one or two attempts to send/receive.
[General Topics] justmeandmyphone:
Yeah, in the meantime i can confirm this. After a few hours tmail began freezing again. :(
[General Topics] link68759:
I have this issue too; it's been going on for a while actually, but I have slightly different symptoms; initially it would be stuck at logging on, and I could press send receive to kick start it. At a later point in time, pressing send receive causes it to hang at disconnect. This persists across multiple hard resets, and occurs randomly.

Just this morning I cannot get it to work no matter what I do...

I confirmed tmail.exe eating 100% of the cpu, and there have been more than a few cases of my freshly charged battery near dead only a few hours later, with gmail "logging on".

And to whoever said imap uses more battery than activesync; get the imap pusher service. Uses less battery and you don't have to put up with activesync's crap
[General Topics] suatkelem:
Same stuff today, Duttys v25 HD2 RUS. Missed my morning wakeup call, cause of it.

So, as a temporary fix, I created an account at Yahoo! and forwarded all mail from Gmail to it. :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pham87:
hi guys, I accidentally posted this in general, but here it is in SGS2 forum.. I really need someone's help.

I nearly had a heart attack think I bricked the phone.... long story short

I froze TouchWiz in Titanium Backup thinking it would just use vanilla, but it's just a black screen. I couldn't find a way to get to market/settings so I a flashed it on Odin to Ke4 again but it looks like it just flashes and doesn't wipe the settings.

Anyways - So im stuck at a black screen, I have the status bar up top, i can swipe it down but thats it.

How would I;

'format'/flash the firmware so its completely new ...? I just need an applauncher or a way to get to settings?

or How can I make my way to settings?

my preferred option is the format a clean whole new one

if anyone can help me because I got to get this sorted asap before work lol

Just need it to work.

Thank you so much anyone that can help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
There are probably better ways but you can try to install a home replacement via the web market. This should push it to your phone and after installing pressing home should give you the option to select another launcher.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pham87:
Do you know any methods at all? I'm willing to try any, I just cant find anything that shows how to completely wipe and start new..

I downloaded Go Launch and chose to have it launch to my Phone but it didn't work from the phones end.. the phone has no wifi/3g connection.. it has the no connection icon so probably won't it wont push.

Thanks for the suggestion though, I would have never thought of that.

I'm a bit confused about the jig option

I would have thought I could have flashed/restored it to stock

I am able to actually load the phone, I can swipe down and enable usb debugging mode, I just literally have no way to get to market & settings if possible...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pham87:
Okay!

So I loaded Villains Rom 1.0 and everything works again, thank god.

My question now is, can I upgrade/flash now to KE4 with this one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Locster126:
If you just flash the KE7 as PDA it should be no problem to upgrade....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pham87:
cool, thanks mate,

I'm just lost for words now...

When I put on villain rom, was happy to backup all my msgs asap and etc to gmail which I did, that's the most important thing so i'm glad.

So then I wanted to defrost some apps I had frozen ... so I installed titanium again .. as soon as I did that the same problem came again, black screened. I reboot and it's now stuck at the 'S' loading animation.. it wont start into the applauncher... I actually reloaded the rom but still same problem.

- i can actually do a screen capture at the animation screen....so im guesing everything else is ok

I just want this to work one more time so I can do a factory settings wipe and hopefully all this sorted..

anyone able to help, i'm so sorry for asking so many times.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
OK. What you need to do is...

1) Reboot into recovery image (volume UP, home, power) and wipe /data. You're gonna lose everything stored, but I'm sure we can get over that

2) See if it now boots (it should). If not, reboot into recovery again and wipe /data, then turn off

3) Put phone into bootloader, and get the ROM you want to ODIN. You can use VR1 if you want to just flash systemfs (safer). Flash it as PDA, then it should boot.

Failing that, you can recover it "my way". Flash Chainfire's insecured kernel (from the root thread), then get it to start booting. keep running "adb shell" (you do have adb set up?), and once it works run "rm -r /data", then type "reboot". That will wipe /data, and hopefully let it boot.

Don't panic too much btw, it shouldn't be too serious.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
kk, apart from the above, i'm a bit stuck on the uploading procedure, doing it dinamically, not with known filesizes like i tested before.

I will try to get it to work and allow multiselection file dialogs.

Later, downloading, which is easier, as i just request files. I will try to make the selectable tree work, so several files can be downloaded at a time.

Btw, the tree is not a demo, it's my real storage, being asked to the kin. It's a long process, as i ask for the id's and their values to the kin to create a Tree structure, later parsed by the interface.

Whenever that and deletion is done, i will upload both the driver and the program/source to the public.

For Zune's functionality lost scared people, i would suggest to try on a windows virtual machine first (which i will do to test for .net framework requirements and so)

Way cool imn glad to see some progress

Nice work! I spend a lot of time on this forum reading posts and 75% of the time it's your post. You've spent a lot of time working on this project and we all appreciate it. Expect a donation from me in the near future :-)

[KIN Two Software Development] Kinuser1:
Hey john, you have only gotten into the media section correct? What type of things have you gotten to do if i may ask. If you want, I can help get "into" the other parts of the phone. A.K.A contacts. That's my main concern right now. I could care less of customizing the OS (which I will get to if you care to lend a hand.) Since I don't want to Say anything just yet, send me an email to terrors2011@hotmail.com. I would like to help. I'm on my phone at the moment but tomorow I'll post how i got the phone into a writeable state (which I don't know if it still work. I've only tested twice.) If it doesn't work tomorrow, I'll donate my time during the week helping you guys. I may need to get a new battery.

P.S. It's taking me awhile to do this becuase I dont want to brick my phone. Im definately not using my enV touch!
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
please, read the faq above. this is not a hacking thing, but a sync one.

to be honest, i dont care about contacts cause i dont use this phone to make calls and i just wanted it to be more open. pinned apps or phone settings storage would be my only interest apart storage folder.

also, i dont want to keep secrets or long term waiting things. post what you want or dont post, but dont make it a teaser of nothing. plus i dont wanna go emailing people.

As some other forumeer seems to have gotten into the phone system, imma halt this development till acess range is shown (filesystem / storage / settings), if any.

There's no need to redo all the required mtp subsystem if we can get there by other (easier) means. OS native explorer, for example.

I have to give you kudos for your dedication. You kept at it even after you bricked your first kin.

I patiently await a release.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I'm trying to get the alpha release up today (tonight here).

I was in the mood and moved my coding-ass. Solved most of the problems on-the-go, but downloading.

I'm trying to allow multidownload keeping same directories on the pc... just cause i wanted to... rofl.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Hummmmm,

EVERYDAYIAMSHUFFLIN

Mmm after discovering several things, and implementing a lot of bugfixes (didnt know some things about MTP), there it is.

here, and all the versions are updated and uploaded in the 1st post, among the driver for it.

As posted there, i suggest to use it on a virtual machine with .net framework 2.0 cause the removal of the zune's driver for the kin.

You can now take your kin and (if the driver & program behave correctly), upload the files you want to the Kin.

Any type of file, any time.

I'm pretty naughty telling this, but apart from uploading....... i don't check for the file contents... so if any of you want to turn a .exe into .mp4 to look for exploits i wouldnt blame you for testing....

Double naughty if i say that Zune doesnt load info from the files itself, but only what was transfered from MTP (.. poor fella) You can check that, cause it will only load the filename and name of the mp3, ... cause i did that (before today, i just sent filename, which makes its name blank on zune, like you saw in my video from BEP).

Hope you all enjoy and no errors appear.. rofl.

Btw, there's no donate option, cause i think it's more fair to think about that when the program is known to work, and not just alpha releases ;).

It's 02:53 AM here, so i better go to bed, to work tomorrow and that things....

I just want to confirm that the 64-bit version works without a hitch. This is great!

For other people: I installed the drivers using computer management (with the update drivers from a directory option...)
[KIN Two Software Development] 4LC4PON3:
i havent had a chance to mess with it which I will get on it today but how did you like it?
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
Thanks, 64 bits was on the air for me, but as some of you posted about it, i just set the compile flag for one and the other.

There are some known issues, but their behaviour is unknown atm.

I'm glad to confirm (through random testing, rofl) that the kino exe works "as is"(literally) if you open it on a Linux machine.

You only need mono (c# implementation for linux) and the libusb installed. I found it slower than Kino in windows, and very much slower than my c++ tests, but it has a cooler interface for users.. hahaha.

Also, after 1 paainful hour, i was able to compile usb1.0 and random requirements, so KinO ended working in Mac OSX (Snow leopard).

So... KinO is the only Kin related program that is multiplatform by now ... Well, like if there were a lot of kin programs though.. haha!!

I updated the first post with new requirements & screenshots ;).

Tried out KinO on VM running Vista Business 32-bit. Worked great. Thanks JohnKussack!
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
I found my Win XP (32-bit, Pro, SP3) machine was lacking .NET 1.1, so after installing it, I was able to get KINO to work.

I've retrieved my contact numbers from the phone, and replaced all phone numbers with 8885551212, along with changing all the names to Boba Fett.

I found something slightly curious about the way the KIN handles this file: my old phone had a single contact with multiple mobile numbers, which showed up in the file, but when the KIN imported them, it only imported one of those numbers. So this file might cause problems if you try importing it.

I also noticed the exported file was just contacts_export (no extension). There are no linebreaks in it, which I don't think matters to an XML parser. If you rename this file to have a .xml at the end, you might be able to import it back in?

Anyway, the file is here: www.kyleandelin.com/KIN/cellebrite.contacts.xml - I would suggest removing all duplicate entries, only have one contact and one or two phone numbers, and put it in the root of the phone's storage.
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
I should ask... does "contacts_export" has the same data than the original one?

I am pretty much "rofling" about how storage memory has no secrets anymore (or a few only).

Looking briefly at your uploaded xml, i can see why my test xml:

<contacts>
<contact></contact>
</contacts>

Ringed a bell..... lol.

I will CB my phone, as i think that i'm the only one who can "afford" that data losing operation. Then, i will do contacts for me, like Yoda hahaha.

What i'm afraid if what happens in loading one wrongly written test.xml moves it to a cache, where we can't read and doesnt matter if we reupload (if kin ignores it). I guess that it's supposed to be OK cause it comes from a good source (cellebrite UFED machine, for example) which wouldnt make it wrong in the first case.

Btw, when i examined my logs (feature from kintwoM only) i saw that some logs showed errors related to import contacts with parse errors stopping the procedure. ALSO, connections failed to the cloud server, so i wanna express that KinTwoM may be keep calling home, without response, of course. My bet is that the log issue was implemented in case of Loop removal going nuts.

My suspiction is increased when "PROGRAMNITT" instructions were written on the "Other" submenu of the ... well the PROGRAMNITT menu... how do you get there in first place to read the info?... lame
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
Checking the format of the contacts_export file, it's basically in the following structure (I broke up the lines to make it easier to read the XML structure):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><XMLContactList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://pme.microsoft.com/contacts/contactimport"><Contacts>
<Contact>
<FirstName>Boba</FirstName>
<LastName>Fett</LastName>
<PhoneNumbers>
<PhoneNumber PhoneType="mobile">8885551212</PhoneNumber>
<PhoneNumber PhoneType="business1">8885551100</PhoneNumber>
</PhoneNumbers>
</Contact>
</Contacts></XMLContactList>

I do wonder what xmlns="http://pme.microsoft.com/contacts/contactimport" should have, as that link is not valid.

The header of the cellebrite.contacts.xml file is the same:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XMLContactList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns="http://pme.microsoft.com/contacts/contactimport">

Reviewing my own contact files, I only have the PhoneType tags of "mobile", "business1", "home1", and "company", which match up the types of numbers I have stored. I haven't played with the other phone number types (home2, work2, home fax, work fax, assistant, pager, car, and radio) but would assume the tags for them are similar to their names in the KIN UI.

My guess is, as long as you have the valid structure in the XML, and a valid name (I wonder if it just needs to be *contacts*.xml in the root folder, or specifically cellebrite.contacts.xml to import?) it should be okay. Thanks for being willing to test. I have over 200 contacts, and although I assume I can easily import them again, I'd rather not risk it.

Yeah, I tried reviewing the logs but they weren't the easiest to parse due to the extra characters (unicode?) in them. I'm glad you've had a look at them!
[KIN Two Software Development] johnkussack:
215 contacts to be exact. now i have 215 boba fett in my kin.

I uploaded both cont.xml, containing another structure (bigger) with Joda and the cellebrite one.

Contact menu showed nothing.

After rebooting, it showed things ok, and i imported and exported 215 contacts. They were added to the kin. No joda appears. Kino cant stablish a good connection (error on the kin?)

Unfortunately, my kin sometimes did hang at the young-and-happy-boring-boot images (black screen after it) and i have to remove the battery to reset it.

Because of the above i do not recommend to do this yet.

Also, i upgraded logging to 6, and logging buffer to huge size.. so thay may affect too.. and that things... rofl.

BTW: now i have a (8MB log with some more good contents)... interesting... very interesting... It will tell me what i touched importing crappy data... hehehehe.
[KIN Two Software Development] klamation:
So you imported the cellebrite contact file and they were properly added to the KIN? Cool. So even if I reset mine to factory defaults (or better yet, to the original TWO code), I can still re-add my contacts. I'll probably want to test exporting and reimporting contacts, including modifying existing ones (if you got 215 Boba Fetts then you probably can't update, only insert new) or importing a single contact in an XML, to see if it adds it back in.
