Just.............let.............it............go...........
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
Tried a call in a better service strength area, started call...-429, after a few moments, -392, then about 10 - 15 seconds later, and through the duration of the call... -284, hangup -90.

I think the issues earlier might have been location specific, being the fringe area of "H" swapping down to "Edge." Maybe it was trying to hop back and forth between "H" and "edge"....

Have not had any other issues with the phone locking up since I left that area either...

Will keep watching....
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
Great,

Help me diagnose.

Have you installed any Apps other than what was burned into the ROM?

When it happens...

Try to do the followin, as will I, and post it..

How long since last reset

How many calls (were you ending a call) Edge, 3G, or H

How many texts (were you getting/sending a call)

Anything you can think of leading up to the problem.

Since I reset, I have not had it happen again.

I will keep you posted, though.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mr.jaguar:
I was having something similar, and I was assuming it was a lockup, but I'm almost certain it was galarm, I stopped using galarm and the problem went away.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
Setting in 1 bar "H", opened my text messages ( to read one that came in about 10 minutes earlier), the screen popped up with inbox, and the phone became un responsive...

Waiting for recovery, and it went to sleep.,..

woke it back up, same thing. None of the buttons (except power) , which will sleep it...

Holding down the "power button" causes the "are you sure you want to shut down"

selecting NO, it comes back Home, with task menu expsoed showing messaging, then back to normal....

audio booster

Just an FYI....I installed the cab for the "booster-lite" to increase the audio and

on reboot, it freezes at the splash screen. Had to hard reset to recover...

no biggie, only takes an hour to get everything back. Just wanted to save someone a headache, if you've spent hours tweaking :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Marttimat:
Thanks for the help. I searched through all the tweaks and still cant seem to find any way of switching the names around. I think its a 6.5 issue only because even in my message inbox the name is last then first not just in TF3D. and as for the text size I have really gotten used to it so no worries there. Thanks again!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ajal:
Use Contact_changer_v1.3 to change the order back:

http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=contact

Out of curiosity, did the order change after syncing with google sync?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mr_zero:
would like to know if you were using Pimbackup to restore your data after flashed this rom?

I did have this problem after using Pimbackup to restore my data. everytime go into "text messages inbox", or while closing "text messages inbox", it freeze and no responsive for couple mins, then back to normal after.

Finally i try to delete all my old text messages and the problem solved. (still has a little lag/ delay with closing "text messages inbox", about 2 sec).

(you guys can try not to restore your backup messages and see will it solve your problems, incase you want to keep your messages.)

As Arupp said, there might have something change about the "messages" address on lastest 6.5 roms. when Pimbackup restore back the backup messages data from 6.1 or older 6.5 roms, it cost some problems.

not 100% sure about this, but seems like this's the problem on mine.

HTC Fuze ROM Update- Version 5.11.502.2 WWE

http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=198&cat=2&dl_id=553

just a heads up guys..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] OK Dog:
It did it again while reading these responses and doing something else at the same time so I didn't really know exactly what was going on. I soft reset and will start making some notes when it happens.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] OK Dog:
You may be onto something. I did use PIMBackup to restore my contacts but I think it has more to do with messaging in general than the backed up messages. I have seen "messages" come up in the top bar. I think if it "opens" or what ever it is doing and I don't catch it to click the "X" to close is when it freezes. I will try to make some notes and post when I am on a computer.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
Hmm..

That sounds very likely!

I noticed that access to the messaging database seems to be a common denominator.

I will try this...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
LOL wont let me download it. Says I dont have a suitable device. Need someone to get it and upload it to a mirror.

I guess we cant get it until midnight. Some users called HTC and they said its actually released tomorrow. They put it up so people could download it at midnight instead of when they open.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thehyecircus:
Hey Arupp, I know it's a little off topic, but have you considered any kind of all tabs background cab for this? I have tried a number of them and none seem to work with this, so I was wondering if you had any plans to include one or something. It's too minor to be important, but I was just wondering.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Marttimat:
hey. thanks a lot. what i ended up doing was erasing all text messages then running the program. now has corrected the problem. I dont have google sync but I think what did it was when I backed up my new contact list to my sim card. Then again I am not sure as I didnt get any texts after i flashed to v4
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Actually I would like to. THe bad thing is that the hd contacts cause it not to work.

BTW I dont consider that off topic.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
hi arupp, speaking of outlook et al, I'm also wondering if the setting can mimic that of showaco's titanium weather, i.e. from what time to what time outlook will be turned on/off, and how many update intervals set. Notice that the current setting only allow (for the minimum) 'once a day' update but no specific time/hour.

thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
You can do this by hourly intervals for all accounts. For exchange you can set it seperate for day and night as well as by day.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
SDHC class rating

@arupphental,

maybe off topic and left unanswered, but based on your experience/knowledge, do you think class 2 vs 4 vs 6 of sdhc matter to read/write speed while being used in the device? (not on pc-to-card connection)

secondly, after 36 hours, I'd say (contrary to an earlier post on page 205 or 206) that you do need to drain the battery completely like 2-3 times in a row and charge it till it's full. It somehow cures the battery drain problem...well, at least until the next 40th day.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
I want to delete CEMail.Vol.

I have tried the Mortscript in Startup to "Delete \cemail.vol", then a soft reset...

but no good.

I have tried killing everything possible, and disabling the default today plugin...

anyone have any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
I know I get better speed off of my 8gb card than I do my generic class 2 card thats 4gb. Whether class means much I dont know. There dosent seem to be much documentation from HTC on it.

Yeah It always takes two to three days for me. No clur why but im guessing because the device is not flashed at 100%. Something needs to learn the battery?

Uhhh why?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
I suspect the restore with PIM backup of about 700 SMS messages is teh culprit for my oddities/lock-up.

I want to delete it (with out hard reset) and let it rebuild form scratch.

I searched teh Registry for "CEmail.vol" to change its lcoation, but no luck...

Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kk0813:
Recently I have seen some one have mentioned that there phone suddenly hard resets itself. (Not specific to any ROM). So, for this long week end I took all the back up using PIM backup, as I wanted to make sure, at least I will have contacts if my phone hard resets. To my surprise it did happened and this happened first time, I restored every thing using PIM backup. You know what, my phone worked fine for some time and after that got freezed, and does not start and stuck at boot screen, tried soft reset, hard reset but no avail. After coming home I have to reinstall stock ROM and then reinstalled NRG ROM. Now every thing works fine.

I just wanted to mentioned this as you mentioned about PIM backup. I used PIM back several times before but for only call history backup but not for contacts as I use activesync for contacts.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
Hmm...

The plot thickens..

I hav emanaged to delete it. I guess the Mort Script did indeed work... However, the file still showed in the root directory and still showed to be fairly large...

Then I went into messages, going to delete all that way, and nothing was there...

I will let you know if this fixes the locking up problem...
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
I restored with PIM Backup (included in the RRE ROM) in v3 and v4 at least 5 times, no sudden freeze calamity (as yet? cross my fingers).

Maybe just isolated incidences.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] techman28:
@ Arupp,

I was looking into making my own 6.5 taskbar icon set for your rom and I was told that they are in the shellres.192.dll file but I looked and it seemed as if not all of your icons were there. Is there another file that includes the 6.5 taskbar icons?

I think I read somewhere that it might be the tapres.192.dll file that has more icons. Is that true for your Rom?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ralfwolf:
Something I noticed today about battery drain. It seems to drop quickly after a period of heavy use. In my case it was web + idle imap + gps/google maps. Dropped like 10% in a little over 30min. Then it kind of stayed at 43% for a while.

Here's the strange thing I saw today. I updated one of the packages and rebooted. Came up 51% after boot. Stayed there for the next hour or so. Not sure what this means but thought I'd throw it out there.

I suspect this is some strangeness in the battery management of WM6.5.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
most are in phcanoverbmp and shellres but there are a few in about every dll with "res" in the name.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
@all, (slightly off topic)

I concurred with ralfwolf's experience.

Now, dollar to dollar, which is the wisest and most effective investment:

(1)A new battery pack, say, the 1500mAh one, OR (2)a car charger ??
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] misfitwrx:
i had a quick question about fingerkeyboard, i love it but want to install the one with arrows and more skins, how do i uninstall the one in the rom or is there another way to install the one with arrows? oh and on a unrelated note DONT ever buy invisible shield for a screen protector unless you want your screen to feel like it has silly putty on it. i absolutly hate it, it makes stylus use impossible
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Just install the cab over it. Should be no problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Hdstreetglide:
When this happens try to check task manager to see what is running. It sounds as if their is a clash of programs competeing for memory.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] misfitwrx:
i installed the cab with the arrows for finger keyboard and now it says error loaading skin, and when i pull keyboard up it is blank with "error" where it would be. got me beat, do i have to kill any precosses in dotfred before installing maybe?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Hmmm that could be.

Ill also look at a easier way of cooking it in to make this process less painfull.

Try killing sipgt_app.exe and reinstalling. Id also change your default keyboard to the HTC one prior to doing so. Then try to reinstall.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Peaster111:
I'm partial to the arrows myself. Here's a couple of other options in lieu of reinstalling:

1... Use the cab I put together (FingerKeyb-2.1-Arrows only.cab). All it does is change/add the needed files to Arrups fingerboard install.

2... If you are looking for the other skins, I have also attached a cab that installs all the original skins (FingerKeyb-2.1-Skins only.cab). The skins include the arrows. If you don't install the arrows only cab, Fingerkeyboard won't use the arrow files.

3... If you want arrows and all the skins, then install both in any order. Do not install to the storage card.

Installing the cab(s)... (1st) change your SIP to something other than Fingerkeyboard. (2nd) Install the cab(s) (3rd) soft reset your phone.

In Arrups latest ROM, Fingerkeyboard is default. Upon restart it'll automatically revert back to Fingerkeyboard. :)

Arrup - Maybe you can add a link up front in case other folks want a simple fix to add the arrows or other colors? ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Peaster111:
Hummm.. interesting. I'm not sure killing sipgt_app.exe will help. Using my method and cooked cabs and it worked great. I think in cooking the keyboard in the ROM, the original fingerboard installs won't work.

I'll edit my last post. If someone needs other fingerkeyboard cab versions, I could try an cook them up.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] donnana:
(3) Keep a spare charger at work?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
Sweet work. Will add to first post :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
already had, thus, option (1) or (2) still. :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ralfwolf:
Great contrib! I had the full arrows fingerkeyboard downloaded and had actually clicked the cab yesterday but had second thoughts and hit cancel. I was actually going to look around to see if anyone had come up with a cab to add the arrows!

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
Thanks to Peaster111, arrows cab for FingerKeyboard works as advertised! (simply follow the steps, change sip to other keyboard, run the cab, restart..)

However, FingerKeyboard DOES take up lots of screen space, especially becoming obvious while text-ing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] |oh|:
I would get a car charger... It will be a longer lived investment, for it will work with any "USB B" type device. SO you can use it with future generations of phones.

It won't require you shuttind down your phone to swap batteries.

And, less likely to lose it....

If you are out and about with out a wall outlet or a cig. adapter, then you could look into one of those charger budies that uses an "AA" battery to "boost" your phone while away from utilities.

An "AA" battery typically has a capacity of about 2800 mAh, while that sounds bigger than your stock batter, keep in mind that is only at 1.5 volts, for an effective 4.2 watts or energy. Assuming about 80% converision, 3.36 Watts. The stock batter is 3.7 V at 1340 mAh, or 4.9 Watts.

Bottom line,

Get a car charger, and pick up one of those "booster" devices that uses an "AA" battery for those days you are no where near utilites to give you about an effective 1/2 battery extra when you are in a bind. They are very small, and easily transportable!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thehyecircus:
I have read a little up on icon changing, but would it be possible to put all the icons (minus the battery meter of course - and aside from that this is the best battery meter out there.) in one file to make changing them easier?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aruppenthal:
LOL dont I wish. Unfortunately most of the system is hard coded to read from certain dlls to draw images. I think there are 10 total that control top bar images. THen there are 3 more for folder icons and program icons that I created from scratch.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] thehyecircus:
Well perhaps there could be some documentation on where to find what? Sorry I'm not exactly sure how the taskbar things work, I know I've looked into changing the signal icon for your rom (satellite dishes are not a favourite of mine haha.)

In reference to the Edge connection thing I mentioned earlier, hitting the On/Off switch in Communications next to "3G" (Change to GSM) to turn it off, and then back on, has gotten me a HSDPA connection. I hope it lasts.

@ arupp or really anyone who has used smartlock,

Have you tried out Smartlock 1.7D yet?

Any noticeable changes, improvements, or fixes?

The least I can do... a small payback for everything I've got out of the ROMs and good folks making valuable contribs. I think its called teamwork!

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok different topic... I've got a good problem maybe someone can help me on. I can't install cabs on my phone. I click on them and nothing. Just a quick screen flicker and that's it. I can install them via my PC, but not directly on the phone. This is a first for me... very weird. Almost like it is not associated with the right exe (wcload.exe, I think). Humm??? I suppose I could have a "bad flash", but everything else seems fine. Any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rgb-rgb:
I have seen this before, and a soft reset usually cured it.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
@arupphental/all,

technially speaking, what exactly is a bad flash? what happened that lead to a bad flash? and most importantly, how to accurately spot a bad flash right away? (before you ended up using a bad-flashed ROM for days before you noticed it).
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Peaster111:
Good suggestion.. unfortunately tried that. No luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] naveen:
a hicup when downloading the rom. maybe a hicup when installing. a bad hard drive on the device. i am sure there are other reasons. best thing to do is a complete new download and first flash with a stock rom.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] V@no:
Just wanted give my 2c. I live in a small city, using bicycle or simply walking is my transportation. I'm using Javoedge 3400mAh portable battery pack, it makes my phone last at least 8 hours with heavy data usage (listening internet radios).

But with latest v4 ROM the battery life increased significantly. With moderate phone usage (wlm messenger always started), 3-4 hours listening music, after 8 hours it still has 60% of the battery left. With previous versions I was lucky get 20-30% left.

Thank you aruppenthal

P.S.

guys, what kind of task manager do you use/prefer?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Peaster111:
This is a tough one to answer completely.

My version... When flashing, primarily files and reg entries are hard flashed into a EEPROM, therefore become Read Only Memory (ROM). Files are "burned" onto a EEPROM on your phone (which is why you cannot really delete any files burn onto a EEPROM). Anyway... if any file or memory allocation space is not burned as intended (numerous reasons for this), then the memory space or file on the EEPROM cannot be properly accessed when needed. Commonly called "corrupted". The only way to fix this condition is to reflash the file(s) into the EEPROM. Since we cannot individually flash files, our only option is to reflash the entire ROM. so... corrupt files in flash = bad flash. Ever burn a CD/DVD and it not play right afterwards? ...sorta the same thing.

A really bad deal is if your EEPROM becomes corrupt... we call those phones a brick.

...Well that's my take ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
thanks, naveen. *sigh* so many could be's though... q unanswered, i.e. quick way to spot a bad flash right after you flashed? (I always flash with a stock ROM whenever I wanna flash a cooked ROM).

speaking of hiccup when downloading, if a chef provided MD5 checksum, will it help/matter?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] BumAround:
thanks, Peaster111, for the explanation....so there are so many factor-X's could lead to a bad flash....*sigh*

regarding your burning a cd/dvd analogy, my experience is if you choose slower write speed, the less chances the burning process will err. :)

bad to the subject, this whole flashing ROM business is really error-prone so to speak (not from the chef's side), i.e.: bad download, bad harddrive, etc. :confused::confused:

God cure us from this OCF (obsessive compulsive flashing).... it's a disease, my wife says. Now when will be Ryan's next ROM? :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Peaster111:
Sometimes very easy... the flash won't complete (chksum verification fails) or after post flash something will be obviously wrong.

Sometimes not... things could go unnoticed or days until you access the file and you get an unexpected result.

As an "end user", knowing the chksum won't do you any good, if the flash exits properly the chksum results were good.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kmahesh:
I used 1.7B,C & D. In all the versions, when the phone is locked and you get a call and receive; after the call is over your phone is locked forever until you soft-reset - no matter what. Although I liked the product, I was forced to uninstall.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] aadadams:
That sounds quite familiar as that's why I went back to TouchLockPro. I did notice a pattern. If you do no tend the call with hangup button this happened more often than not. When I ended calls before the phone sounded the dropped call indicator.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] techman28:
Which settings did you have checked under the smartlock settings menu?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kmahesh:
i had "lock after awake" or something like that where you press the power button and when you turn on, the phone will be locked.

If you wanted that setting then you should have been using the "Suspend Lock" setting.
