Tilt very very unresponsive today.

[ashoooo]

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? :confused:

[ashoooo]

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?

[ashoooo]

Is that the only solution?

I'm sick of this and slowing turning anti-windows. :eek:

[ChumleyEX]

Some times things need to be refreshed. Don't be scared, it will be ok.

I know the feeling :(

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 :(

[ChumleyEX]

So how did it go?

[ashoooo]

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 :-P

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

[jahrami]

use cleartemp (http://www.scottandmichelle.net/scott/cestuff/cleartemp.zip)from now on to clear unneeded items on every start up

[jahrami]

it is pim back up
its the BEST

More junk to cause this sort of problem.

Good thing I had it synced with the Exchange server at work. It pulled all contacts, tasks etc.

I have written this program in case you don't have an exchange server to sync your contacts to. I'd be happy to share it with you guys once I finish the import portion of it, if you want. It exports your contacts in a nice little XML file.

Nevertheless, thanks for your suggestions.
