I have it working now but if I run into the issue again I'll for sure do that. Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] auau465121:
A few months ago Sprint underwent a handful of changes that weren’t too appealing. Many blamed the coming of the iPhone, which definitely was the culprit for some of the Now Network’s policy changes. However, looking at the meat of things, a company does need money to run.

With that said, we’re hoping that we’ve braced you for today’s bit of bad news. Our beloved Super Spies have obtained an interesting piece of intel that outs yet another Sprint policy change. Starting on February 1st 2012, Sprint will no longer offer discounts on secondary lines. This means if you’re currently receiving any type of discount on your monthly bill on an account with multiple lines, you can expect your bill to receive a slight increase.

Once in effect, Sprint will move the charge of $19.99 from your plan’s primary line to its secondary line. Depending on the percentage of your discount, you’ll see a dollar increase in the amount of your discount percentage based off of $19.99. For example: If your discount is 25%, under the new policy you’d take 25% of $19.99 to determine your new monthly increase. In the example given, your increase would be approximately five dollars.

This new change will definitely help Sprint save some cash. However we’re wondering if it may come at a cost of a few customers? Please keep in mind that this will only affect customers receiving discounts on their monthly bill with multiple lines, which means a lot of you are exempt from this change. In the meantime, here’s to hoping Sprint puts that new cash to good use, like getting that LTE network up and running.

Just another reason for me to cancel Sprint. I can't believe they would screw with corporate discounts.
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Agreed they keep shooting their selves in the damn feet
[EVO 4G General] Philyteach:
well crap, I've been with Sprint for 9 years now, but if they are taking away my discount its time to move on.
[EVO 4G General] bakarus:
Lol yeah starting to not like sprint. First started off with sero and was told that in order to get new phones we must upgrade to a higher plan, then a few months later they changed that policy to sero plus. Then they take away our corporate discount because they said our esrp family plan was already the lowest plan which I understand because we were double dipping. I really don't see the reason to stay with sprint any longer, just waiting out on my uncle's line to finish, and see what others will offer
[EVO 4G General] detcup4evr:
Well with this change u can get out of contract, my coworker called last time and instead of cancelling they credited him the difference every month for a year and gave him a month of free service for each line head line 4 to 6 when Sprint removed the discount on links past 2 or whatever it is now,

Odin is a Samsung thing. The droid 3 has a locked bootloader, which makes flashing roms a little more difficult. If you haven't flashed one of the recoveries and made a back-up, then RSD from the post above is your option.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skynet99:
Ok, this was just damn strange - So my Nexus was in my pocket and I take it out. Out of no where, songs start playing that I have in my library without me having pressed any buttons. My first thought was maybe I accidentally hit a button and no big deal. So I open my current apps and see that the google music player wasn't even on. I launched the actual google music app to then stop the song from there and couldn't locate the "Now Playing" song either! So I was left with no other choice but to restart the phone!

Anyone else experience this one?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aindow:
How odd. Do you have any other music/media players? Even possibly a file manager? Maybe there's a bug with one of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVOXGSR:
I have a very similar issue, but it occurs most often when I automatically connect to Bluetooth in my car. I use Spotify so it clashes with Google Music too and causes this scramble of both players playing music on top of each other.

But I am very curious about this too, although it pops up primarily on my bluetooth. Google Music will just begin playing songs and further more I don't ever use it or initiate it. After a while I will get an error saying "Music has unexpectedly stopped working".

I've also closed the app as much as possible in Settings>Apps so I don't understand why it keeps playing and showing up repeatedly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
I had this issue with the Google music player also, I use power amp pro as my main music player and one day music started to play, I checked power amp pro and nothing so then I checked Google music and that was the problem. I disabled Google music. Also Google music app was force closing on me ever few days don't know why.

I rooted the lg nitro hd and did some stuff. Since my phone couldn't activate visual voicemail, I decided to hard reset the phone. Since then my home button stopped working. It still vibrates when I press the button but nothing happens.

Still happening?

Might need to know what "did some stuff" means. Did you delete anything? Install an alternate launcher?
[LG Nitro HD] raytraceme:
um i think i messed up with nobloat. I did a hard reset and my backups were gone. I think I need a backup from someone of all of their system apps for the nitro.

any more help? how can i use the image to restore my phone?
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
if you can connect to your phone with adb from your computer then you have a chance. Adb allows you to remount your system partition in read/write mode which should allow you to overwrite your files with ones from someone elses phone. Never tried it and it could make your phone even worse... or it could fix it?
[LG Nitro HD] raytraceme:
um so how do I do that can you explain it to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Neo3D:
Has anyone downloaded CPU Spy from the Market to test to see if their phone can go into DEEP SLEEP mode?

I've been getting horrible battery life compared to my old Evo 3D (about 24-36hrs with 4G), now I'm lucky to get 12hrs.

I ran CPU Spy and it shows that my phone isn't deep sleeping, just wondering if this is an ICS thing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
No, my phone was able to deep sleep.

This can be an app, or glitch.

Once my phone was awake at 350mhz after rebooted for several hours. And for no reason google plus was shown when i activated it. But thats one time glitch.
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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!
[TG01 General] nikola92:
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
[TG01 General] Rila:
I have this problem myself with my TG. The only solution it was Miro8 rom in my case. It is because your carrier.
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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.
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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.
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
yeah, its a WinMo issue :)

the software gets corrupted.

I faced this issue on my older WinMo devices. best bet is to hard reset!
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
Thanks Oly! :D Guess I'll do a full backup then BAM, hard reset. Hate to do it, but if it will fix this infernal problem, so be it.

Thanks again & Merry Christmas!!!
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Let us know how you get on!

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). :(
[TG01 General] kijotex:
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!
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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! :D
[TG01 General] Rila:
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!
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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...
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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.
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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.
[TG01 General] kevinpwhite:
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,

Kevin
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
Hi Kevin,

Nice to 'hear' from you again and thanks for the tip. :D 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. :eek:

I look forward to your sage advice. :D;):D

Cheers!

Jim
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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 General] mikiril:
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! :)
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
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! :D:D:D
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
I believe that drupad2drupad had the same/similiar problem on his TG01 (which led to him selling it...)

Mayne it could be a hardware fault that developed?
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
Hi olyloh6696,

Thanks for the tip!:D Up until yesterday I thought it was a hardware fault, that the phone was simply dying, so I was ready to toss it into the trash bin. After I discovered that device.exe was hogging all CPU cycles it became clear that it's not a hardware fault. The TG01 is trying to operate normally but simply can't because it has no available CPU cycles since device.exe is hogging them all. I just turned my phone on and had left Bluetooth on when I shut off the phone for the night. Guess what, it booted up normally. Device.exe is using between 0.8%-1.0% CPU usage, which appears to be normal. If I turn on the phone without BT enabled the phone boots up in the S-L-O-W mode every time.
[TG01 General] kevinpwhite:
Jim,

I've annotated some comments against the separate points you made above...

Unfortunately no it won't if you have the fatter battery housing. A possible alternative might be one of the elasticated sleeves available for 2.5" HDDs - I have one for a Toshiba StorE Steel hard drive which is elasticated on the sides and would be almost perfect if just slightly longer. Possibly a look at the 3rd party phone sleeves in Carphone or Amazon might be worth a try.

Certainly possible but if you don't want to go the full route of customising the ROM itself, a good option would be to extract the relevant Registry settings and create .cab files which contain all your key settings. You can then run those whenever needed to restore a known good configuration. Particularly helpful for re-setting things like Operator, WLAN and BT settings. If you want to follow up on that PM me and I'll share an example.

Regarding having applications installed to the SD card - if you did go the custom ROM route then it would be possible to set discrete .cab files embedded in the ROM (eg. such as Spb MS) to install to the uSD card, but as a general rule I avoid installing any applications to the card and keep it just for data unless unavoidable. There have been many recorded instances where people have hit problems ranging from major instability to irritations such as icons just not displaying correctly.

Quite agree :) I have honed my own ROM edition how I want it and have absolutely no aspirations on WP7. Frankly the visual impact and inability to customise the Metro interface (which I find ugly) to something visially and functionally appealing means it leaves me cold. I'm just hoping my TG01s will last a very long time !

Best regards,

Kevin

PS. I agree with Oly and also don't believe the S..L..O..W problem is hardware. Much more likely to be a persistent registry corruption or a consequence of two applications not playing nicely together. Had you added any new applications prior to the go-slow phenomenon starting ? Unfortunately the only real cure is a HR (maybe also try an alternative ROM) followed by a gradual rebuild of added applications, preferably making a fresh backup at each stage so you can test and go back if needed every time. An absolute pain and time consuming, but a methodical approach should make it possible to resolve the issue.
[TG01 General] CrashMurdock:
I'm using a non-elastic zippered 2.5" HDD case now. It's a little bit too big but works well.

I'm hoping for a simple solution for a complete 100% backup (if possible) that doesn't require much effort to reinstall since my experiences with WM to date are that it gets easily corrupted. Now add in the fact that the TG01 is also a bit flakey at times and a 100% backup makes a lot of sense. I prefer not having to deal with an assortment of cab files and also a registry file. I can't count the hours I've spent during the past 2-3 weeks, not only trying to repair my corrupted WM6.5 install, but also searching forums, etc., for the 'best of' apps, games, etc. since WM6.5 platform is all but dead and gone. Even here at xda most of the members have moved on to newer toys and Android/WP7. There seems to be only a few of us left hanging on.

So I can't 'cook' a custom ROM that will not manipulate the data on the SD card in some manner? I do specifically want to include access to all those add-ons, just don't want to overwrite any of the data on the SD card since the problems I typically have are with WM getting corrupted, and not developing problems with add-ons.

Thanks to a French TG01 website I have pinpointed the problem to the Toshiba Power Savings settings menu. More specifically, clicking on the Restrict Sleep Mode checkbox causes file device.exe to go haywire consuming all available CPU cycles. Unfortunately, I clicked on that button before reinstalling Jacenty's ROM then again afterwards with the same disgusting results (of course, at the time not knowing that it was the culprit!). Because I was able to pinpoint the problem and the fact this old thread hasn't been very productive I posted the device.exe problem in a new thread hoping to find a solution to that particular problem. Luckily, the French site has a partial workaround. After bootup cycle on both BT & WiFi then off and the phone will operate normally until next reboot. I also found, by accident, that if I leave BT on when I turn the phone off, next time I turn it on it will operate normally. Of course, that's a kludge and am searching for a permanent fix not a temporary workaround.

Oh, one more question. How can I view all system and hidden files with the file extensions appearing? I've already turned on Show All Files. If I can find this Toshiba Power Savings - Restrict Sleep... exe file I'm going to nuke it!

Thanks, Kevin!!!:D:D:D
