MYPHONE: You do not mention the SPL/Radio that you use. Check the recommended versions on post #4. These COULD possibly cause you some issues. I don't use the myphone app. I prefer to keep my backups on my sd & (copies) on my laptop where I know how to get to them. I also have my google contacts/appointments sync'ed with my phone (using the m.google.com server connection) so I can always keep them in sync with my computer/google/phone. Then I use GMAIL's IMAP server for my emails so they are also sync'ed to all my devices.

As for SD Corruption, that occurs for a couple of reasons. Sometimes, the card is old and is just losing some data. In that case, you just need to get a new one. Most of the time, corruption is caused by removing the card either from the computer or your phone without allowing all of the data-writes to take place. On the computer, ALWAYS use the "remove device" function to assure that all of the data has been written to the card. On the phone (most likely the problem), the recommended & most secure (and most time-consuming) way is to turn the phone off (not the same as removing the battery or doing a soft-reset) before removing the card. In any case, just be careful after you write any data to the card and be sure it is finished before removing it.

There are some (freeware) utilities (google for them) to recover the data on your card using your computer (I assume you have a miniSD adapter). The usefulness of these programs is related to how quickly you use them after finding the card corrupted (the sooner, the better). In any case, use your computer to reformat the card (FAT32) and then add whatever you want back to it and it will probably be fine from now on.

Hope it works,

SIM card

Personally, I have never removed the SIM card (or for that matter the SD card) when I flash. I usually use the SD card for the flash but even when I was flashing with ActiveSync, I did not remove either card. It has never been an issue and I have never seen anyone suggest that any problems/issues were because the SD or SIM card was not removed before flashing. Some mention that the data on the SD card is in jeopardy when you flash but that has never happened to me or anyone I have read about.

Your Mileage May Vary

To be Honest I normally leave my Sim card in but remove the Sd card due to losing some subfolders once or twice. Odd Cuz it normally affects the music folder for me if I dont remove it

SD/SIM

Even if you got a call, you would know that and since it is in the customization phase, a HARD reset would not be a problem and it would clear everything up again. You are NOT going to get a call during the flashing phase! <grin>....

Battery Issues in V9

I don't believe it is an ATT (spit) issue. Although the reception here is awful - that is just the NORM. In the pursuit of truth, here is an update:

1. Flashed ATT357; ran to point of "tap the screen..."; hard reset (still using SPL3.34.hard(DS))

2. Flashed TPCV8(patched); hard reset (decided to leave the radio at 1.65.21.18)

3. Began the same tests as before. Several times the UI was non-responsive for a few seconds & once (while testing the GPS Tool) it locked up and I had to soft-reset. Decided that the radio must be the problem.

4. Hard Reset (back to V8); flashed radio 159.46.12 (SPL still at 3.34); Hard Reset & allowed V8 to configure. Loaded Battery Guard.

5 Began tests:

Battery: -137mA initial; -67mA after dim; -6 at sleep (once even got -1mA after I woke the phone!)

Reception: Edge 3bars (pretty steady) with 15k-37k data

GPS: 13seconds to 1st; 55secs to 2nd & 200secs to fix (3min, 20sec).

Conclusions: The reception is lousy but the battery drain is EXCELLENT with V.8 and this radio (the drain at sleep is the most important since the phone is asleep most of the time.)

BTW my original tests (slightly different procedure) is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4078369#post4078369

This was with TPC V6.1 and the recommended radio/spl drained at -105mA at dim versus -67mA with V8 & this radio. Unfortunately, I did not figure out about the "sleep" value until later so that was not reported previously.

I usually take the SIM out of the Tilt and put it into the good old RAZR so that I don't miss calls while I'm flashing and put an old expired SIM into the Tilt so I don't get missing SIM complaints.

Phone is Broken :?

Hey so I have had V6 on my phone for the past 2 weeks (maybe a bit more) and have had no issues with it, but today it was in my pocket, and when I took it out, blam, the phone was stuck in the boot screen (the one that says TPC Elite bla bla bla and then the Radio etc. screen) I can't connect to the computer either to try to update it to v9. arrr. Has this happened to anyone and is there a way to fix it? I have tried taking out the battery, and pressing the reset button a bunch but no dice.

I really hope i didn't 'brick' my phone, cuz I have heard of that occurring with people not installing correctly but the fact that my phone has been working perfectly fine for the past 2.5 weeks ish makes me think it isnt...but then again, I have never bricked a phone before.

Any sage advice would be greatly appreciated

Strange, I have zero issues with fave people, weather, or any of the other plugins. That's part of why I dig Shanes loaded roms so much. You might have a corrupt contact file or something. I had issues with a contact on someone elses rom a while back when I used Outlook as my default contact backup program. I ended up backing all my contacts up to sim which filters out unnecessary crap, then reloading everything and reassigning pics, ringtones, etc. Now everything is backed up online with My Phone, with Outlook as a secondary backup. I don't even waste time with PIM managers, since they seem to be hit or miss with every new flash.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
Bricked Phone

First, you did not follow the advise in post #4 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3847588&postcount=4 which requires that you state four things:

1. That you flashed a stock rom BEFORE flashing TPCs rom

2. Which version radio you are using

3. Which SPL you are using

4. That you read the FAQ and searched for the answer yourself

THEN you will get answers. Without any other info, my best guess is that you did not do #1 above. How to rescue your phone - also answered on the faq (link to a post which walks you through it).

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] EskimoPie:
Thanks for the thoughts... I'm using the recommend SPL and Radio, so that's not a factor in the MyPhone connection... it connects fine at first then just stops at contact #25... I hope it really is a WM6.5 issue and I can really sync when I get back to 6.1. We'll see.

As far as the SD Card, there wasn't any removing of cards going on... I had been using the card in my phone a little earlier... accessing my eWallet file. About an hour later, I tried to access the same file and it wouldn't accept my password. I then couldn't get to anything on the card. I took it out and put it in a USB reader and sure enough the card was empty, although the drive properties said there was ~7GB used. I did try a few recovery programs and had some success, but it's a painful process and a lot of the files were corrupted. Since I had allready loaded my PIM's into the phone before this happened, I didn't think to try and recover the PIM backup files before I re-formatted the card. Then when I flashed, I lost what was on the phone. That's why I'm now back to trying to deal with MyPhone. If I get it back, I'll definitely try syncing with Gmail to give me another backup location for my contacts.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
google sync

It is very easy and works great. Just execute Start/System Tools/Active Sync click on MENU, Configure/Add Server and use your Gmail credentials. The server is m.google.com and do NOT allow it to automatically configure since it does not know where google's exchange server is.

Edit: I forgot to mention that you can (at present) only sync contacts and appointments. Unclick everything else. Also when you finish configuring the server and get it sync'ed. You may wish to go back to the menu and click on Schedule to set up an automatic sync at your choice of times.

Similar issue - have flashed all TPC Roms V5 on up - no problems. Flashed V8 (flashed stock, spl 3.34, radio 1.70.18.02) kept it raw - all worked fine - then 4 days later - whoosh, all files gone from SD Card (Transcend, pretty new) except pictures.

Not a big deal, i have backups, just curious if anyone knows technically how that happens. I would assume it was a bad flash, but everything worked fine for several days. Any ideas?

my understanding about removing the sim card was because if you get a call at the right(wrong) time during the flash it could lead to a brick, but i thought that during the flash process the radio wasn't used, so who knows.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] simbadogg:
wow...oh man do i have a horror story. i dont know whats up w/ this ROM but i had more than my fair share of problems with it today. while i was working on my phone, i installed SRS WOW...and to access it you have to restart. so i physically powered down, then turned it back on. for some reason the phone rebooted, and went through a half/hard reset. my contacts were still there, but ALL my programs were gone, and all my settings were reverted to stock. tried installing programs thinking it was just some freak accident, and then no programs would install. so sadly, away from home, i had to do a hard reset.

after reinstalling all my programs and getting everything up and running over the next few hours, i noticed the battery was running very very low. so i powered down, again. swapped batteries, and went to turn it on. i thought the phone was completely bricked because it wouldn't get past the loading screen where it shows the rom version, radio etc. it would just sit there for 15 min. so now i'm back home, flashing back to the oem rom, and probably going to go back to the old 6.1 i was using. can't risk this happening again. damn shame
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
well the 1.65.21.18 isn't the problem because i have been running v8 fixed since the day it came out, and still running it with that radio and have had none of the problems that you have had. i have used that radio on every 6.5 rom that i have flashed, sometimes after running that radio for a few days i may test another radio, but 98% of the time i leave that radio on my tilt. i've not had a single lock up, and the rom has never been anything but blazing fast for me, prob the best rom i've ever flashed, it is the best 6.5 rom for me that i have ever ran. :D

I have another question about the v9 rom...........I have used my phone today on and off..........phone calls, texts, and email.....no internet really. My battery was down to 32% by 3:30.....started using around 7 am....is this normal or maybe something with this rom or a setting in my phone.....anyone else notice excessive battery drain or is it just me? Any thought are appreciated......Thanks all!:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] raywaldo:
Radios

I agree. :) The radio was probably not the problem but I did not want to run that radio anyway. :D So I was ready to flash another radio (1.70.18.02). Although I have not had the lockup again, the UI was still a little sluggish until I powered down, removed the battery for a few secs and then restarted. Now it is back to "normal" - - V8 fast!!!:D:D:D I am not certain what that clears but it DOES help sometimes. I decided to revert to the "preferred" SPL/Radio so that my issues/answers are directly related to the others here.

At any rate, my concern was for usable data on battery drain and I believe that I did that.

Did you read the previous few pages? We have been discussing this and I have done some pretty objective tests about it. Just go back and read. See my post # 4041 especially

Major props on the ROM. I may just be settled on flashing for awhile, or until you crank another out. I've been on the elite line since V6, and by 9 I am officially a chome convert...that says a lot considering how attached I was to manilla. I had a few flaws in V7 and 8, when installing cabs I would get "unsigned publisher" problems, but with V9 all apps have installed smooth. I've had quite a few comments on the sliding sounds over the last weekend(sword/saber)...i can't bring myself to take it off. The fully working system panel on V9 is great, but I miss the battery icon from sickness.

Anyway, the work is greatly appreciated, thank you for keeping me addicted to my phone, and as soon as I get some things sorted on ebay i'll say that monetarily.

I removed the sim card during flashing for a different reason. I had the experience of losing a couple of smses that happened to come in during the auto configuration process.

After flashing, the ROM will auto boot up, then we are required to align the screen, set the date/time and the ROM will do some auto configuration. Then it will automatically perform a soft reset. If just before it reset, any smses that come in at this moment will be lost after the soft reset. :(

Well, surprise, surprise... Microsoft MyPhone didn't work any better on WM6.1 than it was on 6.5. So I loaded V9 back up and started manually trying to figure out what was wrong. Turned out that it was crapping out on outlook contacts that had a picture attached. Not all of them either, just random ones. Some with pictures synced just fine and others it would just sit there and freeze up at that contact and never proceed downloading any others. I had to step through the sync process about 20 times, manually figuring out which contact was screwing it up each time and setting it to 'archive to web' on the web interface. Those contacts I then had to go in and re-create manually on my phone. Anyway, after about 2 hours, I have all my contacts and schedule and tasks back on my phone. I immedialy did a PIM_Backup, deleted the damn MyPhone software (what a piece of crap) and sync'd with my Gmail account to further backup my contacts and schedule.

On a bright note, the gmail sync went perfectly. What a great service!
