Problems with official wm6.1 release

[Chris08]

Hi all,
I have just upgraded to the official WM6.1 release. First everything was working fine, but after a little while phone began to dial numbers like crazy and the device became unresponsive.
Any thoughts?
Has anyone else experienced the same?
Many thanks,
Chris

If I understand your symptons, I think I had the very same problem some time ago.

I only fixed it by getting a replacement. Later, it turned out that my photo button was 'broken'.

Check all your buttons, maybe the problem is situated there. Maybe not...

I think there were other reports of this in one of the two main threads on the official release. Have you installed any other keyboards/SIPs?

I wouldn't blame this on hardware yet, especially if you don't have the problem with other ROMS.

Gents, I also flased the new official rom but have had a number of occassions where the device has stopped responding. Soft reset is the only thing that resolves. Sometimes it freezes, as if it is 'hanging', then suddenly works again. Not sure why. Tried a hard reset but still have same problems. Thinking bout flashing back to the WM 6 rom. Any thoughts?

I would flash back to the WM6.1 ROM.

Hard reset before customization. aka At the screen where is says "tap the screen to begin to setup your device."

If that still doesn't work then after you are done with the customization flash the 1.65.16.25 radio and see if that works.

skype and tcpmp dont work. lots of freezes and lots of error reports wanting to be sent to microsoft. the most adventurous firmware uograde that i have ever experienced and it ate up the whole of my sunday and it is yet to eat up more of my time.

very irresponsible of htc to release something as unripe as this. i doubtv anything got tested before the release.

An application not working is not HTC's fault. This is an OS upgrade and vendors need to upgrade their apps. I don't believe I have found an official/leaked 6.1 ROM that DOES run Skype....only cooked versions.

Hi,
I installed some other keyboard some time ago. But that was before flashing to this new upgrade. I suppose that they will be gone when doing so.
The thing is that it is working fine for some time, about 10 minutes after i flashed to this new upgrade and it begins to dial numbers.
If I do a soft reset the problem begins when I press any key.
Many thanks for any help!

I had exact same issues, the device dialed all kinds of numbers, alphabets, etc and would not respond for about 5-7 seconds at random times.

I hear someone got that issue fixed by changing SPL and/or chaning Page Pool size to 16MB.

I hope someone can confirm that and make that a sticky before I revert back to this ROM, I am using 3.02 now.

Didn't change the SPL but changed to 16MB pagepool. The intermittent sluggishness is cured about 90%. Wish there was way to fix this 100%

This is the same issue I had. The freeze ups were driving me crazy. I got rid of it and am very happy camper again.

The file on rapidshare, SSPL-KAIS.exe may be infected with a virus. Trend identified it containing the PAK_Generic.005 virus/malware. Your mileage may vary...

Has anyone found a solution to this thing as of yet?
I fashed the HardASPL that came with the rom but still same result.
Many thanks,

I have this problem too. Now Im back on my 6.0 ROM :D

i am aware of that. but somehow very popular 3rd party software just should be taken into consideration, not to annoy most of the updaters.

apart from the random unresponsivenesses, crashes and freezes, what i find pretty unacceptable, is that you cannot restore a backup from the old system although i was given backup software from htc itself. and we are talking about an upgrade from 6.0 to 6.1. had they called it 7, i would have understood the incompatibility.

i am new to the windows mobile world, so i guess i need to keep shut and swallow what is being offered as i dont have any other choice yet.

but the future is looking bright and we will look back at these occasions and have a laugh when sometime soon everything will be functioning seamlessly with the linux based android and palm operating systems. i heard that nokia too wants to join the fun. lets see.

for now, i will need to revert back to 6.0
