ok so i'm going to try and write down everything that is going wrong with my phone right now.
when i boot it up, touchflo will not start, i just see calender and contacts on the bottom. if i click on contacts, it takes a while to load, then just says enter a name on the top. with no list of my contacts.
i can not receive or send calls. i just had a friend try to call me and the middle round button and the send button blink, but no screen pops up saying i have a call. i try to press send and nothing happens.
i can barely send a text message, it takes about 10 minutes for the text message to load if it even loads. can't browse the internet.
calender works fine, google maps works fine, small games work fine, like teeter. age of empires will not load though. messenger will not load.
i can browse my programs though and go into file explorer.
activesync is giving me a message when i try to connect saying
"Activesync cannot connect ot the windows mobile powered device. to troubleshoot the problem, click ok."
the scan after says this
Unable to establish a connection between the PC and the device. Get up-to-date solutions to common connection problems. Please click the following link: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65257
when i was drunk and camping on the weekend my phone gave me a message saying it could not start because it was not properly turned off the last time and said i would have to press the volume button to restart it, which i didn't do cause i didn't want to lose my contacts.
has anyone else had these problems? any way to fix it? or am i just going to have to do a hard reset?
also i'm not sure if the Pim Backup v2.8 works for the diamond? i'm in there reading right now.
another problem i noticed is that when loaded a text message, if its the first text i've gotten from a number it loads really fast, but when i load one from someone that i've communicated with for a while, it takes forever to load if it does. most times it just doesnt load and freezes for a bit.
I think we need some more information. Maybe if you answer these questions, someone can help you, before you'll have to hard reset..
The ROM version?
The TF3D version?
What software, like lockers, screen rotators, key mappers, task managers, battery savers etc. are running in the background (as a service)?
What does Settings - System - Memory say about free program memory?
Anyway, PIM Backup works fine on the Diamond. Good luck!

I have an HTC TytnII (i.e., not carrier-branded) and in the last couple of days it's started behaving very oddly. Whenever I start an app (IE, CommMgr, etc - anything with a new window) it takes ages (~30 seconds plus) to start. I also see redraw problems in my email client (Pocket Outlook) and the machine is generally a big slow and labouring.
Any ideas before I hard-reset?
same problem here
I have the same problem
the worst thing is the phone feature when i want to make calls takes time to recognise the input and very slow..
tired all things, tweaks, hard reset, HTC plug in on today screen off..
i think a new rom from HTC is needed..
Yeah, I wouldn't mind but making a call is nearly impossible.
Don't think a new ROM is required, it's some state it's got itself into. Mine's been fine for the previous 3 months!
MY tytnII is slow too. Help
My tytnII sometimes just become superslow when I have more than one calls on. It takes a lot of time to open any app or go dial pad. Even while dialing, it takes 3 seconds for each button to show that it has been pressed.
Any help shall be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you try running maintenance applications like Pocket Mechanic or SKTools?? These applications clear temp files, cache folders, clear invalid registry entries etc...basically remove junk from the PDA. Make it cleaner and faster.
does anyone else have this problem?
acticesync keeps appearing in my task manager/running programs even when i havent attached to computer???
any advice?
Kill it! It's been doing that on all WM devices I know.
yes!!! ))
how can i kill the bugger?
Well, you can't kill it forever... After all you'll want to sync from time to time.
However, once you finished sync'ing, just kill the task from the task list (the little icon in the right upper corner of the screen).
yes i do this
but then it just appears randomly, even afer i kill it and even on days when i havent even used the computer??
I think you're right, ActiveSync is somehow alive
I, for one, chose simply to ignore it as a quirk of the operating system.
This has been a problem for years over several wm versions. If you don't use exchange server and want to get rid of it, you have to use something called the 'fake server trick'.

Hopefully it will still work on 6.1, you can try it.
Its not letting me receive any calls. Because by the time I press "Accept" it becomes unresponsive for like a couple of mins and the call has already ended.
Its taking forever to load any apps too. It takes forever to open the Programs folder or the Settings folder. Everything takes like a min on the phone now.
I don't know what has caused this. It was working fine yesterday. I haven't installed any new apps either.
I have the HTC stock ROM downloaded from this website. I've had it installed for a few months now without a problem.
Can someone please help me in understanding whats causing this?
I've restarted the phone a few times now. The boot time is around 15 mins for some reason. It stays at the Window Mobile 6 screen for 15 mins before starting up.
Hard reset anyone?
Is that the only solution?
I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows.
Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

Somebody please explain to us that this slowness/unresponsiveness is unique for the TYTN II?! Should I expect the same from a HTC Touch or a Samsung?

Have you, by chance, been experimenting with network folders? I saw something similar with the file explorer, after I had connected to a network drive at home. It was trying to reconnect while I was away from the home network.
You should expect it from any electronic device like this. Maybe not 100% of the time and not 100% of them, but things like this do happen. There are too many things trying to live in harmony and not step on each others feet for there to never be a problem.
Do a hard reset and see what happens. If it doesn't solve your problem then it's time to look into a warranty claim. If you can use the phone, just backup your numbers and then reset. It's really easy and doesn't take much time to get things back to normal.

I didn't touch any of the system folders. In fact, nothing was done to the phone since yesterday except send/receive phone calls and play Solitaire.
If you don't reset it then don't complain.

I've done this (hard reset) before and I have every right to complain. Not trying to be a troll, but sometimes I feel I should've bought an iP***e instead.
Right now I'm trying to take a backup of my files on the Storage card, but Total Commander is unresponsive (trying to copy 5 files for the past 30 mins).
I know I'll eventually hard reset this thing, but I'm just pissed right now.
So you don't think people have to hard reset their iphones? I laugh in your general direction.
If you can't make or receive calls, send or receive text messages, or access email or the web
Check the cell signal indicator in the status bar at the top of the screen. If there are no bars, or if it says "No service," try moving to a different location. If you're indoors, try going outdoors or moving closer to a window.
Check to make sure you’re in an area with network coverage. Go to your carrier's website to see network coverage areas.
Make sure airplane mode isn't on. From the Home screen choose Settings, then turn Airplane Mode off.
If that doesn't work, turn airplane mode on, wait 15 seconds, then turn airplane mode off again.
Make sure to include an area code for every phone number in your contacts list that you use to send or receive text messages.
If that doesn't work, turn iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on top of iPhone for a few seconds until a red slider appears, then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Note: If you enter the SIM PIN incorrectly three times, you may need to contact your carrier for a Personal Unlocking Key (PUK) to enable your SIM card again.
If that doesn't work, there may be an issue with your wireless service. Call your carrier or go to your carrier's website.
If that doesn't work, restore the iPhone software. See this document or see "Updating and Restoring iPhone Software" in the iPhone User's Guide.

Come on now. You know what I meant. I wasn't trying to imply that at all. I was just venting. Sorry if it offended anyone.
is it possible that its just having trouble reading the sd card (if you have one?) maybe the file system is becoming corrupt on the card and its constantly trying to read it?..

I thought about this. I tried using the phone without the SD card. But the behavious was the same. Currently I'm hard resetting it
So how did it go?
Just finished hard resetting it. The phone works now. Fortunately I had an export of my contacts in an XML file (using a .NET utility that I wrote.) Unfortunately, I haven't written the import part of the utility yet
The phone works, but my docs and pics are gone. The SD card works fine. Thanks for your help guys.
Outlook works nice for backing up contacts and there is also a program you run from your phone that does the same thing. I think it's PIM backup
use cleartemp from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up
it is pim back up
its the BEST

hello can someone please help i have a big problem that VERY agravating. everytime i connect my tilt a msg pops up that says "microsoft office outlook has stopped working" i have checked the sync status and it wont sync, it also doesnt give anyreason why? ive updated ms office on my phone and it still does. how can i stop this, its very aggravating b/c it just keeps popping up and WILL NOT STOP! thanks for the help.
I think your active sync might have been disabled by the power optimizer software on your phone. Go to advanced setting and check under miscellaneous: Enables or disables activesync. Choose enabe, click done and apply soft reset.
I hope this helps
On a seperate note, one of my qwerty keypad buttons fell out on my phone, and i tried super glueing it back(stupid, i know), but some of the glue went into the phone, spread into a few keys, and now,
when i plug my phone into my PC, it doesnt sync, it only charges.
I fiddled with the phone a bit and discovered it doesnt know it is plugged into a PC, it thinks its plugged into a wall. But once in a while, it syncs, sometimes for a day, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for a few seconds.
anyone else had this problem, and know any fixes/solutions?
In case a mod sees this, can i open a thread to ask this question?
thx for you help
Guys, I have searched and searched for the answer to this question and I've gotten close, but haven't found an answer. There has to be a way, I just know it.
So, I know that this phone (HTC Touch Diamond) has the ability to save SMS messages, because there are still some there when I turn on the phone. Great! BUT, sometimes when I reboot the phone (either just turning it on and off or having to do a soft reset after a freeze) recent messages (both SMS and Email) are missing. The span of time often varies.
WHY? And how can I prevent this?
I've seen several solutions that mention saving them to my PC, but I'm so often away from it when this happens. And I can't predict when it's going to freeze.
Is there any way to increase the time interval for when it "permanently" saves/commits these messages to memory? I feel certain from what I read that it has to do with RAM and ROM but I'm just so tired from searching that I can't even see straight anymore...
PLEASE HELP! It frustrates me to no end...
Thanks!
Bump? Bueller? Bueller?
Nothin? Has no one else had this problem? Should I just get a new phone?
Hi, I don't know if we have the same problem, but I recently am also losing my text messages after soft resetting my diamond. I tried backing up to my PC and also Microsoft My phone, but I still want to find out what's wrong with my device... I thought it's supposed to be virtually unlimited memory for SMS
It's not a problem of memory, WM doesn't save the messages instantly when you receive, the only trick i can provide to you it's to open your inbox (SMS Tab > All messages), and wait a few seconds (5-10), and Soft-reset.
Only do it if you have received a SMS 5min ago max, of course.
i had the same problem, deleted all my messages (also concepts) and this solved the problem
