[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] AngelDeath:
I had a post about this issue and what my thoughts were, but it seems its gone from the general TP2 forum :(

I have a couple of theories behind this issue, I will repeat them again, in the past Me and PumpIron579 discussed this with other things, but here is my belief:

I dont think this has anything to with Cooked Roms, Stock Roms, or even a hardware issue. What I think this has to do with is Manila itself. Because I think the Today/Home screen lies the problem. One of the things I noticed when I encountered this was when there is alot going on onthe today/home screen, I think it causes a "Brain Fart" on the Manila system itself. I think more over the problem occurs when the Today/Home screen is showing the full rain screen, (You know the screen turns black, have water drops on the screen, the wiper starts going, it starts raining) I think the combination of this and possibly everything else causes the Manila to just hang which in turn doesnt wake the phone up on demand, or any other way. I think Manila goes into a infinite loop or slows to a crawl possible using 100% CPU cycle which then stops the phone from responding. (My SOD's have ALWAYS been during the raining screen). Anyone ever notice when alot is going on manila most of the time is running at 49% cpu.

Now I know most will say no the weather has nothing to do with it, but I think it does, not the rest of the screens, but the Rain screen definitely, and possibly two other screens, when its cloudy, and when its a thunderstorm. To test the theory I would suggest a couple of things:

1) Try with Weather off completely. delete all locations, remove "My Location", and see if you have the same result with everything else running.

2) Turn Manila off and go to the titanium theme, and run everything and see if you have the same result.

I suspect you won't. Also the task29 of erasing everything on the phone before flashing, Not to take credit away from its author in any way shape or form, and I could be 1000% wrong here. But I think when you flash a rom, this occurs already. The reason why i say this is cause every time I flash during the tri-color screen, the progress bar goes to 8% and then the phone magically resets itself and then continues when the tri-color screen comes back. My suspicision is the internal memory gets erased during this time as to not have older files lingering on the phone. Again I could be wrong, and I am not trying to dis-credit the hard work done.

Lastly, (Sorry I know I am long winded) Another thing to look at in cooked roms, and people using stock roms. Cooked Roms: Chefs are you using At0ms enhanced d3d driver still and/or NeoS driver pack? Or are these not put in the cooked roms? Stock Rom users, are you installing these cabs to improve your display and game playing? I would suggest (its easier for the Stock Rom users ATM) to try without these drivers installed on your system. I have noticed one thing with the Video Drivers, uninstalling them doesnt completely remove some of the changes. (I am still looking into this on my spare TP2 in way of testing).

Im sorry for the long post, but I like explaining things in detail so things arent misunderstood and I can give the best information possible.

Lastly unless you all know this, you dont have to take the battery out to reset the phone, despite the fact all the buttons are non-functioning when this happens, hitting the reset button on the side of the phone with your stylus will work to reset the phone, unless your intentionally doing it to try and clear the problem as to hope it doesnt happen when you turn it on.
