Hi - I've been lurking and trying some of the less intensive, flashing-not-required tweaks with success. But suddenly today, I'm having an issue.

My MDA/Wizard is all of a sudden frozen! I havent done anything to it since I got to work today (except blug it in to charge it) and on my way to work, it was operating fine - I watched some anime, read an ebook and listened to music with no problems.

What I've noticed:
- Signal light flashing, but cant get to phone app, doesn't ring when call comes in, gets a generic on-screen notification with no Call ID

- Screen frozen, can hear tapping noise, but nothing happens

- Goes to sleep mode and Power button can wake up as normal, but still frozen and Power button wont turn off device

- Buttons make noise when pressed, but no result

- Of all of the plug-ins (3) and built-ins (5) that are usually on screen, my Messages one has suddenly disappeared.

Today Screen:
*Date
*Owner
*Tasks
*Messages - GONE
*Agile Msgr
*SPB WMP plug in
*SPB Weather
*Device lock
The last thing that I installed was a .cab file from the Big All Tweaks Thread - it was the one that got the Caps/Fn indicator and "E"dge indicators on screen. But EVERYTHING was working after the install and til 15 min ago (14hrs total). I've soft reset about 6 times and even took out the battery with no luck. If I plug it into USB, it charges, but no recognition from AS.


Please help! I'm at work, my contacts and stuff are on home PC.

I'm running the original T-Mobile Rom and I'm not unlocked yet (I was trying to get up the nerve this weekend!)

Thanks in advance!

Hmm....no response?

I'm hope now...

I am beginning to wonder if my problem isn't related to the issue that pple seem to be having with the MDA zapping the SD card. I took out my card and then did a soft reset. My device is workign just fine with out it. Seems that if I put it bak in, there it goes freezing again.

The card seems fine when I put it in the reader, but if the MDA is having a problem with it, I'll be mighty vexed, as it is a week old 1gb card
If anyone has any imput, please chime in.....

I am wavering between trying to figure this out....or just going for it and updating my ROM while I'm going thru all of this anyway...

:nervous:

i have the same issues with about the same software loaded and freezes. to recover from the freeze, i press the reset button and while the phone boots up i press the phone "answer /hangup" buttons once or twice and it boots up.

i do notice something strange after a reboot- the programs on the 1gb sd card are no longer recognized. when i check file explorer, i can see the wizard has creadted a new file store location called 'Storage Card" and it has renamed my stoage card " Storage Card 2". All my files are then seen on "storage Card 2" but cannot be run.

i then deleted "storage card" and rebooted. the wizard then automatically renamned "sorage card 2" back to "storage card" and all my installed programs were ecognized and worked just fine. i suspect there is a bug in the OS regarding stogae card recognition at boot up . any ideas on this ?

thanks
