TyTN freezes overnight, everytime

[Ross]

Hi guys,

My TyTN appears to freeze up EVERY night while on charge, which is a pain if I have alarms set. The only way to get it working again is to soft-reset it. There is usually nothing running in the background, and it has the standard Orange today screen set.

Any ideas?

Are you using Sprite Backup? I found that mine would freeze at the start of the backup (with option to backup to PC) until I disabled "advanced networking functionality" under Connections... USB to PC.

Never got a clear answer why, or for that matter what that "advanced functionality" is...

[Ross]

No, not using Sprite backup. I might just hard reset the thing and make sure its not buggered!!

Have you got a minisd in. If so you could try leaving this out.

BTW if you gave complete info about your device [ROM, software, sdcard,...] you may get more help.

i have the same thing happening on mine, from what i can tell the problem only occurs when you Dont shut off your device and it is on for some time. If you press power and let it bee it always works fine, but for example when you talk on the phone for say 30minutes, during these 30minutes you dont turn the pda off, then when your done talking you will notice it is hung and you have to soft reset it. so remember, turn the pda off!

i am also led to believe this might be because of the strange battery meter, maybe someone can test this: use the phone so it sais 90% or less, start mediaplayer and play music for 1hour or so, with the screen on (set it so it never turns off in settings), then after 1hour check if the device works? i think the screen freezes when the battery drops from 90% to 80%...

sorry for the long post :)

This happens to me as well, I never had it running through a single night.

But for me, it is related to this problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=60543 (TyTN does not detect any SIM cards).

My device detects the SIM card with a probability of 1:10 and then runs for 5 minutes or 5 hours until it locks up (while still draining the battery), e.g. overnight. The TUF (time until freeze) obviously depends on the signal strength (i.e. the number of failed connection retries), which is why the problem is hard to explain in the mobile shop downtown.

At home, most of the time it already hangs on the PIN screen (device PIN, not the SIM card's) or during the blue "Windows Mobile" startup splash screen, shortly after the left LED flashes.

I have to return it.

Hmmmm interesting...I bet some of you experiencing this problem have Agile Messenger installed?

[jasjar]

same here, but only since 2 days and during the day, with or w/o BT on.

My Orange SPV M3100 freezes with no reason at all. I've done a hard reset & loaded no programs whatsoever. I've enabled push email & normally have wifi & 3G activated. My device is freezing upon waking it up from sleep mode & when charging overnight. It doesn't happen all the tme but it does happen quite regularly.

At first I thought it might be a program I loaded but even now it still does it. I'm reverted back to using my Wizard as main phone until Orange can get this sorted out.

I want to try a different rom but not until there is way to go back to the original rom.

I'm a user of a Dopod 383 Pro.

Also experiencing the hanging every night problem. Also trying to isolate what is causing it. I suspect it is either:

1. Bluetooth (it seems to hang when I leave bluetooth on)
or
2. MicroSD card (I am using a 2GB Sandisk card, it didnt seem to hang when I was using a 1GB Sandisk card)

And yes, I do have Agilemessenger installed - although not sure if that has to do with anything.

2. MicroSD card (I am using a 2GB Sandisk card, it didnt seem to hang when I was using a 1GB Sandisk card)


I inserted the card using the adapter into my PC SD slot and checked it.
It (FAT 16) was heavily fragmented, I've defragmented and since today (2 days) non more overnight freeze

[jasjar]

anyway ny tytn doesn't freeze overnight, BUT i don't use BT on during sleep. probably i had freezes during the day when BT was on, so... could you please check if freeze occours with BT on?

[sergiopi]

Progress in freezing problem analisys... Never used BT overnight, I've checked and stopped any app using SD card and now I haven't see any freeze.

Also I have the storage card disappeared from windows media player menu.
Checking the card my MSMETADATA dir is "invalid" from Total Commander menu. If I select "update library" all storage card files are detected, but not added to library

I delete it , update and the storage et voila', the card re-appears!

I am almost sure that the freezing problem in my device is a storage card writing problem, NOT related to storage card.

In stand-by mode the storage is "unmounted"? No power? Low Power?
Same happens in first wizard ROMS...

Update: I was experiencing overnight hanging problems on my Dopod 838 Pro (with the Dopod ROM).

Recently I flashed it with the imate ROM - and no more overnight hanging! I tried it with Bluetooth on as well - its okay.

It Agile Messenger! i have had all the roms and found my phone crashed over night and i missed my wake up alarms and if someone tries to call, it will ring on their end, but my phone will not respond so i dont even know who's called.

anyway, i reinstalled the imate rom afterwards again, without Agile Messenger and it's fine.

but now have a new vodafone v1605 with the voda rom and so far so good.

DONT install Agile Messenger.
