[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] AntoneFisher:
First Scenario:

it happens after i install opera mobile 9.5 build 15233. i launch youtube and program closes itself when it tries to load flash. i tried to relaunch the application, but it doesn't load any thing and screen becomes unresponsive. pressing the end call key can bring me back to a functional manila 2d home screen. task manager does not show up at this point in time when i press it. no application will load at this point in time either. if i soft reset at this point in time, the phone will freeze at boot up with only the blue bell screen. repeating soft reset would result in the same thing. (this happened 3-4 times after several flashes)

-edit- oh i should add that it happened once when i used msn weather thinger when i search for the city.

2nd Scenario:

i reflashed the phone with v6, hard reset. installed opera mobile, soft reset, and i have a pseudo hard reset. opera mobile is semi deleted. (this only happened once)

in both cases i have active sync linked to mail2web exchange servers, and may have installed tomtom gps navigations with "astrogpslauncher". for scenario 1, it happens whether tomtom is installed or not.

haha i hope this is useful.

There are several posts that are slightly different regarding QPST. I had tried http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=36377, but couldn't proceed further because it asked me to find 'HTC Diagnostic Interface' within Ports in Device Manager. But since Ports don't display in Device Manager and since I've heard no response to the question I've left on his post, that is not is not an option. The other, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix, I have run in the past but it didn't work as run. Perhaps I could have added your info. There is another post that I also have tried to manually install Wmodem at http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=803590#post803590. It installed but I couldn't get a network connection, so it didn't install fully and I didn't proceed further.

Also, when I did install WmodemDriverInstaller, in both cases, it says under Modems in Device Manager Palm Treo Modem.

So, if I was to run this all again... which would I use? And at what point to I run your thing, after QPST?

What a f..... nightmare! Why do I bother? I guess I like to tinker...
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
chunnell - just a hunch, but you need this driver installed on your pc to allow qpst to see your phone when using NFS ROMs. After extracting and installing, go to Device Manager, and right click on HTC Diagnostics and update the driver. Then run qpst and you should have no problems.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] thermus:
for the hard resetting issue. I had also had several problems after installing cabs. After two days of frustrations I figured I would install one at a time and soft reset after each one to see which program was doing it. I installed many programs and soft reset after each and so far have had no issues. I am not sure if I have not installed the app that might have been causing this but so far all seems well.

Hope this info helps.

OK i got it following these directions. Thx siggers. However in advanced config kept freezing up on me after tapping on the windows folder after importing. couldn't figure out why. DON'T use your stylus, use your direction pad to go down to windows folder. Then in the preview box at the bottom scroll to the right to the 2nd mixupdate_oem file. Your good to go. Worked for me :):)
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chunnell:
See, that's the problem. When I run WmodemDriverInstaller it says that it installs HTC Diagnostics and then it installs the modem. And per the ppcgeeks thread I need to click on HTC Diagnostics within Ports. But I don't see Ports in Device Manager. So I can't click on HTC Diagnostics. I have looked in every single folder and subfolder to find it. I can't. I don't know what the problem is, but if I can't see Ports, then I can't proceed. (And I am showing hidden devices)

Running V6 on a Sprint Touch.

I've also had to do hard resets after my phone locks up. If file explorer was running when my phone started to act strangely, I couldn't see any files or directories (windows, program files, etc...) on my phone. The only files I could read were on my storage card. I've had the same problem on V5 but not on V4.

hey nfsfan.. i dont know if you know how.. but you seem to know a lot so thought id ask

could you maybe look into the pandora conflict with 6.5?

agin i dont know if its possible or if pandora just needs to be rewritten slightly on their end to work with 6.5 but man, i really love pandora and would love to see it working in 6.5 ;)

also, just signed into myphone on the desktop comp.. says i need to be on a waiting list..
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] slillico:
I had the very same issues occur suddenly last week, it's not necessarily the installed program, as I have the very same programs now working flawlessly that seemed to crash the phone last week. Dropping back versions does not help or work, same issues will happen in previously working versions.

I believe after so many flashes something gets corrupted and not over written by the new flash.

My suggestion and what worked for me is as follows:

Re-flash stock, let customizations run, than flash whatever NFSFAN version you like following the instructions, like having a new phone again.

My phone has not been hard or semi hard resetting for a couple of days now and previously crashing the phone programs are running great.

Example of previously crashing the phone programs that run great now, WVD (for downloading porn to my phone), SPB Online (News, Weather, TV and radio), Fun Contact (really nice works great with fingers), Easy SMS(if anyone has a suggested SMS replacement app I would appreciate hearing of one), and Core Player 1.30, (for watching the downloaded porn). :)

One thing I would also suggest, and I'm no expert, however, you may also consider if using 6.5, is skipping the use of Manilla, I find it a little sluggish, and why bother, everything is there in 6.5 without manilla, it's just one more background task that if you can do without, maybe you should.

Are you putting the phone in to ##3424 (DIAG) when trying to use QPST??????? If not you need to, if the ##3424 doesn't work try ##3424# it should launch DMR v2.30.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] prodigy2m:
What you think?

Problem is that this program actually worked fine for previous versions of 6.5 and its stopped working on V5 & V6. Maybe there is something that you changed that might of affected the outcome? Wow, that would suck if this program would cease to exist. :confused:

Thanks anyways
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] harley!:
chunnell - After connecting the phone to your pc, put the phone in diag mode (either through phone codes inserted by NFS or as noted in above quote; if NFS has phone codes in your ROM, use them as I've noticed in that event using the dialer won't work). Then to go Device Manager, click "view" and then select "devices by type" then navigate to "other devices," and HTC Diagnostics should be there. Right click on HTC Diagnostics and click update driver (after extracting and installing the driver from my prior post.) Once updated, it should work. You may have to delete HTC Diagnostics first.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
Hey NFSFAN,

Having the freezing issue to. Send/End + Reset is the only thing to get the phone to boot past the initial start up screen once the phone has frozen.

Here are my steps:

First Scenario

1.) Flash V6 ROM (Previously on V5, had same issues) letting customization run

2.) After setup I install the Sprint GPS cab

3.) Install sms160 fix http://www.ppchaven.com/download/file.php?id=373

4.) Install Titanium Weather http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=487090

5.) After soft reset required by installation I receive some sort of pop up about mort script. I set it up and it updates.

6.) Run PIM Backup and restore everything (except messages, I've had a hell of a time getting my backed up messages back in place so I have been avoiding it.)

7.) Set wall paper to one on my SD card, set up end key to lock, set ringers and notifications

8.) Setup windows live and e-mail in outlook

9.) After being locked and charging all night I received a picture mail from a friend of mine, previous to that I had received two spam pic txts but deleted them. Opened the picture in PIE, once I saw it I closed PIE with a long press on the X. Hit "Ok" on the top right corner of message window to return to text messaging inbox.

10.) At this point everything looks normal, when you try to X out of text messaging or do anything it does absolutely nothing. I only have 1 total text message so I don't think the amount of txt message you have matters, which is what I used to think.

From there I can press and hold end all day to try to bring up the lock screen, but it just brings up the wait cursor and then the wait cursor itself freezes in place.

I let the phone sit for what feels like a few minutes, eventually the screen turns off by itself. Then the screen turns on and the wait cursor is gone, however you're still on the same screen in the same situation.

From there I do one of two things, take the battery out or use the reset button depending on whether or not I have something small enough on hand to get to the button. Right after the txt in the beginning of booting that shows radio version, etc. it freezes. It won't even make it to the HTC animation screen. At that point there is no other option besides a hard reset, removing the battery or soft resetting does absolutely nothing. After hard reset you have to go through setup and repeat above steps again until it freezes again and you go through the loop again.

Keep in mind I've done the above since V5, over and over again. In my most recent attempt I have completely avoided the Titanium weather plug in to see if this might be the issue. I will let you know if I lock up again.

In my experience V4 was the most stable. I restored my messages in V4 just fine. My Pandora also worked in V4. Not sure the major change made between V4 and V5, but it may be the best place to start looking.

Hopefully that may help in some way.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chunnell:
Yep, did that. Actually, at first I couldn't figure out that I had to dial ##3424# to make it work. I went into Total Commander and right clicked on DMRouter.exe and ran it with the parameter of "/DIAG" and that worked fine.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] mike21pr:
thats weird, i have been using all the 6.5 roms hardcore to v6 to no end and everything is flawless for me, no lockups, no hard resets or anything..... its strange to me that the hard reset is becoming a bigger issue when mine hasnt come even close to doing that... guess im just lucky

BTW i apologize for my last comments on the 6.5 manila roms, they are not affected in speed by any way, i just disable manila and forget all about it

thanx nfsfan

Voice Dialer, Voice Tags, etc ??

Can someone help out with this issue ?

I have a Htc Touch & I've got 3.0 installed and I can't seem to find a voice command, voice dialer, voice tag or whatever it is called to enable my Bluetooth device to initiate a call.

Can someone please assist me if this does in fact exist in 3.0 ?

Chunnell,

Is your PC Windows XP? If it is, the WM driver installed by WmodemDriverInstaller needs to modify. In the file "qcusbmdm.inf" in the folder "C:\Program Files\HTC\WModem_Installer\WinXp", change these lines (or they can by commented out by placing ; in the front of each line):

; For WinXP

[Models.NT.5.1]

%OEM00% = ModemXP, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0B03&MI_00

to

Ok, I tried using V6 without adding any programs including the carrier specific GPS. I set up my email surfed the web via IE and the phone locked up after 5 minutes of use.

I put the phone in bootloader mode before flashing the V6.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] htctoucher:
well the unthinkable just happened ...

v6 just hard reset my phone for no reason after I had set it up perfectly

really hope this is fixed or someone finds a fix cuz man this suvks I forgot to backup all me customizations

also I am using mobile internet explorer right now and I've gotta say it's really a fluid browser .. if it was faster mad supported tabs it would be completely usable :D

anyway I guess ill run stock till this is fixed I domt wsnt this happening again

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
I have experienced this on V5, I did a power down via the power button because it seemed sluggish after I ran PIM restore. When I powered back up it was completely reset and I had to go through setup and restore again.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
I'll try your fix when I get home, I'll report back when I'm done.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] ScrapMaker:
I have had my phone slow down significantly, especially when doing anything with the messaging app. Tried to soft-reset to fix it, but it would never get into windows--just sat at the pre-boot image for 20 minutes. Had to hard-reset.

Happened to me during file explorer, messaging, and once during google maps I think... running V5. V6 is good so far, but I haven't used it much.

V5/6 seem to be a bit more quirky about message restores. Mine took forever, for only 2 weeks of messages, and the phone locked up 5 times during the 're-threading' process. I ended up having to soft-reset and bring up the messaging app, while on the charger, and just sit and wait until it was done threading the messages. Took about 45 minutes for a few hundred messages. If I did ANYTHING else during this process, the phone would lock up. I couldn't even hit the task menu, or load cabs, or check email, or anything. I tried 5 times before I figured that out (v6.)

Did you have to complete reload all your cabs--or just your PIM data? Sometimes if you reset too early, you can lose your PIM data after a restore. I like to wait at least 30 seconds before restoring--then bring up the messaging app after a reboot, and wait until it's done rethreading.

BTW, re-threading actually WORKS RIGHT in these 6.5 builds. Most 6.1 builds don't end up fully-threading old conversations.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grabaclue:
I'm having the same problem. I've had to do two hard resets since yesterday and this morning it hard reset all by itself. I may try v5 or go back to v3 that I was running previously.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] grabaclue:
I'm having exactly the same problem, but am running different applications:

- installed iContact

- installed PocketUNO (I love this game)

- installed PocketTwit

- configured email (Exchange server) and speed dial contacts

I hate to say it, but I think it may be something in this build or something introduced in v5 that is also in v6.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:
Doesn't seem to matter what app I'm in, I was in WVD right now downloading a video. I plugged in my power cord connected to the wall, then hit the power button to turn the screen off. Wouldn't come back on at all. When I unplugged it the charging light stayed on. Now I soft reset it but stuck at the first boot screen again. Going to have to hard reset it again.

Yes I have to reload all my cab files, restore my PIM backup, and reset all the settings I modified.

Rethreading on 6.5 does indeed work much better than 6.1.

Hopefully following slillico's steps will fix it.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] dubbwilliams:

My phone no longer makes it to Windows setup even after a hard reset, battery removal, etc. I have a gradient light blueish bar at the top with the windows spash screen below.

I don't see how flashing back to stock would fix anything. As long as it's previously been flashed, I don't think any of NFSFAN's ROMs have affected the radio.
[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] technote:
Do you still have the 512mb sd card that came with the phone? format that with fat32, copy nbh to root of sd card, and rename the file to VOGUIMG.NBH, then hard reset, it should start flashing at that point.

Here's my simple wish list for V7.

Bluetooth icon on task bar please, I like to know it's on or off.

Some kind of launcher, I know move to top is great and simple, I was thinking of something on the first page that you could scroll sideways, with either previously launched, or something i select would be great.

Other than that, this thing is gold.

Been carrying a phone since 1985, big bag one in the car, purchased a "portable" battery to carry it around, LOL it weighted 20 lbs, then when the brick came out well that was the cat's ass, then the Motorola flip, well now I was in heaven, had lot's over the years, but thanks to Bell and the mobile browser deal and NFSFAN, I'm still excited over this phone.

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] chunnell:
I spoke with Shadow-Tech at PPCGeeks about this and he said I should just add both ports and not to worry about that. When i added COM4 it said it was a phone and gave my ESN so I was good. I ran everything and it worked flawlessly on QPST. I then soft reset and ran NSFAN's GPS cab and did the changes that Siggers gave to me for the Server IP;

"IP Address: 216.198.139.92

Port: 8889".

I didn't uncheck and recheck Windows Default, because I'm running Touch Flo for the main menu not Windows Default. I was told that was important to disable that.

However, everything ran properly, no problems, but still no GPS. And before I installed QPST and WModem I did a Hard Reset to the original settings. I did adjust things in appearances as I like them and I ran NSFAN's MMS cab prior. But nothing else. Just no GPS and it was working with the factory 6.1 with Valhalla prior to all this.

As long as it is 2Gb or less you will be fine - and flashing to stock ROM does more than deal with radio, sometimes it allows when connected to your service to update PRL and other items and then flashing back to custom and some of your ills wont occur

[Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development] Jacklad:
May be of interest to 6.5 users -

Don't know if everyone knew about this, but I didn't until I found it buried in a post last night - for those who miss the ease of the Touch Flo interface from the 6.1 NFSFAN builds, but want to keep using the newer 6.5 builds, you can go into the Today settings, go to items, un-check "Windows Default", then scroll down and check "Touch Flo" - just like that, you have 6.5 and the familiar Touch Flo setup, with all the quick contact, program, and weather tabs -

Again, don't know if everyone was aware of this, but I was pretty happy when I found it -

Not being a complete techo wizard, I would agree, my thinking is the stock rom is clearing out something that is not being cleared out with the NFSFAN roms, I'm not suggesting the NFSFAN files are corrupted, they are not.

The steps i took to fix these issues before I resorted to this.

Several not willing hard resets, several willing hard resets, reflashed V4, V5, 131, 130, 129, I tried through activesync which loads the bootloader, used straight Bootloader, used the SD card Hard reset method with a freshly formatted to fat 32, still problems occurred soon afterward, usually within about a few hours, just long enough to get everything running again.

I finally had given up, when even without installing one single program, it crashed again, sudden hard reset, looks like a freeze, and a soft reset results in a hard one, or as I have titled it, semi-hard reset.

I thought that's it I'm going to go back to stock, and find PDAnet, or get the touch pro, but after going back to stock, I could not resist and flashed V6 again, no problems since, and i have reinstalled everything.

Now I had previously immediately installed all previous versions of NFSFAN roms and never had any of the issues previously reported, all worked flawlessly, so I'm no stranger to flashing my phone.

Why did it work.? don't know, don't care, It worked, and I hope it lasts.

Thanks NFSFAN for your incredible work on wm6.5.

I'm on Sprint and with 6.5v6 the phone is very unstable. About 5 hard resets while

installing programs (various spb progs, icontact, garmin, tomtom etc.). Installation

progress would freeze in the middle and rebooting would cause hard reset. I was

on 6.5v3 since it came out and never had any problems so i'm back v3 for now.

I'll try your techinique later tonight. Thanks.

Actually, I had this exact issue last night after trying to manually update my old PRL, then Pushing a new PRL finally called Sprint 2X's and they couldnt get it to connect or update the PRL either, when I went back to Stock it connected and updated without issue - granted, my wifes phone (HTC Touch) is running 6.1 custom as well and updated on its own without issue

Even the tech at Sprint that they connected me to, he runs custom and had similar issues as well - stock then back to custom fixes many ills (although he couldnt officially say it)
