[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] jim256:
POSSIBLE bug

Hi, just wanted to report a possible bug, running your Topix 1.2.1.

I have a lot of software installed, so it could easily be that, and that is what I suspect is the issue as I haven't seen it reported anywhere else...but thought it couldn't hurt to throw it in (perhaps it is a result of the SQL dependancies missing?)

Software I have installed:

Resco 2008 v 7.05 w/ Registry add-in

Facebook ather v 0.14

FacebookInstantMessenger (fim) v

TouchFlo FingerPressure and Threshhold Reg Entries

Advanced Config (only settings I changed were internet and wi-fi settings)

Touch InCall Screen Tweak v 1.0.20 (which I would like to request you package in to your ROMS as it is very lightweight and just a very useful, in the background little app)

Microsoft Live Search

Opera Mini 4.2.13216

Microsoft My Phone

NeoS2007 OpenVG Drivers (thought about incorporating these into your ROM Some users report nice differences, and benchmarks prove performance increase. Haven't heard of stability problems)

Chainfire's Gfx Boost (thought about incorporating in to your ROM? Some users report nice differences, and benchmarks prove performance increase. Haven't heard of stability problems)

tsowentaskbar5v1.7

TouchPal v4 beta 2

Those last 4 I don't usually install, this is the only time I have installed them. I have had this same bug with one previous version of your ROM. Don't remember which one but it was about a week or two ago....and on that install I did not install the last 4 so I do not think that they alone can be the culprit.

Now for the problem:

When the device boots up it won't ever totally boot up. It would take 4-8 seconds to respond to any screen taps. The HTC QuickMenu would take about 4 minutes to appear, but that was only if I kept the screen active by tapping it. If I didn't keep the screen alive by tapping it and allowed it to go to sleep, it would never power back on and I would be forced to do another reboot.

I tried rebooting it both by holding down the power button and properly powering / shutting it down, as well as just pulling the battery. I reset it using these methods 40 - 60 times (didn't keep count). Every time with the same result. The reason I did this so many times was because last time I only had to reset it about 10 times and then things booted up just fine. After about reboot 20 I disabled TouchFlo 3D wondering if that was the problem, or at the very least just to help with speed. I did this because TouchFlo 3D would not show up at all (not even the message saying "Launching TouchFlo 3D...") for a minimum of 5 minutes if I kept the screen active.

I removed both my SIM card and memory card in case they were causing any issues (I install all my programs to main memory).

After about reboot 50 it booted up just fine and normal. Unfortunately I had the back off my device because I was pulling the battery so much. When it booted up normal and I got excited I picked it up off the table and...the battey fell out. Booted it up again...back to problems ;(

Twice during this process I was able to spend a couple of minutes to get to task manager and view the active processes. Device.exe was taking anywhere from 75% - 100% CPU both times I tried this. It wasn't taking too much memory, memory consumption seemed fine. But the CPU usage was horrendous!

Whenever it was booting up, the little X in the upper right hand corner would appear two times, each for about 7 seconds, like some startup processes or something were active. I tried many times to just leave it, and I tried many times to repeatedly tap that x button very firmly - both gave no result.

ONE time...I saw it say in the Title Bar "ActiveMovieWi"...I have no idea what it is or what that means. I do not have any apps installed that are named that. I kept watching for that again but never saw it as about 4 reboots later I found success! So I am now backing everything up, and am about to flash to 1.3.1 Topix, hard reset, not install much software and hope to enjoy my HD.

Think that is about all the info I can give, I did hard reset after flashing this ROM, and my radio version is 1.13.25.24.

THANKS!
