':MSREMNET' error during surfing the web from ppc. solutions?

[z0d1ak]

hey dear friends ever since i brought my universal i been having a problem while surfing the web from my universal for a prolonged time. like if i use my uni to surf on the web from IE or opera for about 3 to 4 hours suddenly in midst of everything something happens and while i m typing ,with every press of my action my brightness fluctuates high <-> low. n this fluctuation only happens immediately after this following error pops up on my screen all a sudden while i m normally surfing:

The file ':MSREMNET' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.


later after this error pops up wen i try to use any application on my fone including calling, recieving calls, texting , every basic fundamental function to all the installed programes,all jus cease to function . n then i have no other option than to soft reset my fone. i have installed not less than 50 roms till date which includes wm5 versions till wm6 version as of recent. but in all the rom i been facing this problem..

so can u guys tell me wats the actual core problem thats causing this ?? n any solutions that might help solve the problem.




ps: this error only pops up wen i surf on the net (via ppc web browsers) from my fone . wen i m using uni over the pc to connect my pc to internet thru wireless modem or modem link or internet sharing . my fone acts normally. even if i use any other function(BT, gaming, calling,office files etc.) on my fone for a veryyy veryy long time nothing like this problem occurs.

n al so i found the only registry entry on my fone that directs to msremnet.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SREMNET]

there is a remnet.exe file.

hmm well is this the file causing problems ?? man i need help anyone plz? m fed up of this problem for a yr alweady

I can't believe nobody else has this problem besides this bloke and myself.

This has caused massive data losses (cannot save), and requires a soft reset. It has been an issue with WM5 and 6.

z0d1ak, what software have you installed? I have Magic Button, but nothing else that I also had in WM5.

hey man its not about the softwares u have it even happens when u have nothing apart from basic softwares that are provided either with a custom made rom or a shipped rom. i have tried it all i even tried editing the registry and making some neccesary changes even tried to replace the file with other roms that is the rmnet.exe file but it stays i later thot it might b a mother board problem. then came to my thinking how can it b a mother board problem n not apper with any other appication but jus when m surfing on the net using my ppc hmmm.... well right now mystry is unsolved i haven tried using much of internet over windows professional 6.1 . will try and let u know if the problem persists ! meanwhile u can do the same

Yes, I've done some more research and have found that the error message is not limited to :MSREMNET.

I searched for other parts of the error message, and have found it in many forms, but the problem that we are experiencing is somewhat rare and goes on unexplained.

What do I believe the problem is? An unfixable bug in the kernel. Why do I believe this? Because when I have this problem, an unskinned version of the phone app opens. If I close this with Magic Button (a common task manager app), the problem goes away!

However, it will soon return until I do a soft reset. Before that, most apps don't work, many parts of the OS crash, and my backlight goes to full brightness.

This problem isn't always caused by web access, either. It goes on when I work on documents in Office for extended periods.

Surely, after further research, I deem this problem unfixable, a flaw in the OS itself that spans across devices - if you are working on your device for an extended period, save often or you will likely lose your work.

Your only other option is to wait 12 months for a 2nd generation iPhone, wait 12 months for a mature Android device, or wait 12 months for the completely rebuilt WM currently dubbed 'Photon'. Until the end of next winter, this problem goes on, a fact of life.

well thats the problem i dont like waiting and i m in love with my fone thou its like a lil brik in ur pocket . still i love it and it gots its karizma wen i b using it in public seriously. anyways thats off topic. the point i m to make is me working on 6.1 as of yet haven faced this yet . u can try downloading wm6.1 of mwang or ranjus and try flashing ur device with it and chek if the problem persists . dude if its a kernel problem then y wud it appear with every rom flash where u upgrade the os n the kernel gets a reprint in the memory location depending on the os u use. it myt b a mother board defect or defect in the gprs or wifi connection reception. but as u said it appears with office as well i need to try that out and c for myself . will keep this posted. m glad i found one guy ales with the same screw up problem. man its one irritating thing ! no matter how sweet the rom is but functionality crash sucks

Definitely not a motherboard issue, unless the Universal, Apache, and other devices with this glitch have the same one. It's a software issue.

I was shocked to see the problem persist between WM5 and WM6, however. Clearly, there must be a common software component between both bugging out. The two OSs are so very similar, however, that the chances of pinpointing this, or wow, bringing a solution, are slim.

Do keep me posted though, I guess.

I had this problem when I had universal. You are talking about this right?

no its not. its a bug in the core or driver i guess that wm5 n wm6 shares for temporary data intrepetation over PIE or OFFICE . i think its a cache controll problem and has to do sumthing with random access memory thou m no certain on that point. the error keeps poping wen u r using the internet or as our other mate said it also occurs in using windows compact edition office. the problem u pointed at is the problem of memory issue. its a memory problem but i dont think the same as u do.my fone shows the same memory and other intact details as a normal fone wud. but its more about remnet protocol that freezes all ur application saying that there .exe files are not digitally sighned as i mentioned in the very 1st post.

ps: baryn can u try using other applications where u have temporary storage b4 main storage like in case of PIE n OFFICE b4 main page storage.

hmmm well can v get the remnet file from wm2003 or older editions and try replacing it and c if it works the other way round . in the meantym m gonna dig up sum dirt on kernel similarities n difference in wm editions till date. i must add in recent ones the main difference lies in jus interface as i have observed n sum drivers here n there. wud dig pinpoint detail on that now

[z0d1ak]

problem still persists with windows mobie 6.1

and problem with pocket office also confirmed .

I have the MSREMNET pop up and then i Have to reset. Does anybody have a workable solution yet? I have even tried resetting everything back to the factory defaults and still get the problem but eventually it comes back.

[Baryn]

Yes, it has been discovered to be an indescript hardware issue. There is no software- or firmware-based solution, which sucks, but phones released in the past couple of years don't seem to suffer from it at all.

This issue isn't directly related to REMNET, Office, IE or any other built in MS app. The errors with MS applications occur because the .lnk shortcuts and APIs that call most of these programs reference the Raiper Shell paths in the registry (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai) instead of calling the exe directly. I'm pretty sure this issue happens because the user registry and possibly even the disk it resides on is suddenly getting unloaded and dismounted. The screen brightens because it is loading the system defaults from the registry hives in ROM. This is the same reason the skin on WM 6.5 suddenly disappears. At times I get a password prompt when I never set a password. Again, because too many required registry settings disappeared. After it happens, you can sometimes fix it by powering on/off the device but it usually doesn't last long and you eventually need to soft reset.

I have no idea what causes it but it always seems to happen after using the device for a few hours. It also doesn't seem to matter what ROM is used. It may just be me, but I also noticed that the device feels really hot after it's happened and if you leave it charging for awhile. For me, it happens quite often while using Remote Desktop for extended periods of time. I wish I knew what exactly was causing these hive dismounts. It may indeed be a hardware issue. Failing flash disk? Wear from overclocking? Does it even happen on factory ROMs? Also, is there anyone who has an original 64MB device that has the same problem? I wonder if cooking a rom with the registry hives and system databases stored on an SD card or in the extended ROM would fix the issue for people with these problematic devices.
