On my Leo I always used stock ROM's, until the weekend when I tried Artemis.
This introduced a bug where the Wi-Fi would turn on every boot, and the first run wizard would show for a second on shut-down, implying it was running in the background. Waited for new Artemis and it sill did it...and now I've just installed the latest stock (1.66.405.2) and it STILL does it.
Is this the kind of weird bug MTTY is meant to fix? Want to check before I take the plunge
On an aside I cant remove Hard SPL, but that doesn't bother me, just might be related?
Cheers

Ive seen something simpliar once after a flash, not exactly sure, BUT, if you try disabling sense on the today screen, you may see the wizard running on top of windows mobile but behind the manila front end, and finish it so it stops showing.
settings - menu - all settings - home - items tab - scroll down and untick HTC sense.
Thanks man, didn't try that method I sort of fell into the solution.
Went into wireless controls to do my phone settings, my finger slipped to air plane mode...cursing I waited patiently for the connections to go and suddenly voilà, there was the first run wizard in front of me :O
I also emailed HTC at the same time as posting this thread and they said to remove the SIM on boot to see it, which I assume is linked to the air plane mode again in some way, as their effectively the same thing.
Also explains why I saw it for a sec on shut down, as it terminated my connections, up it popped.
Morale of the story, the first run wizard will only appear when you have no SIM in!

I find that my Sprint titan is, at times, very unresponsive. Usually it will happen after having not used it for a few hours. After I wake the phone up, I'll notice that most tasks require multiple inputs before sensing the touch. (ie: if I wanna open the start menu I might have to touch it 3-6 times before the phone opens the start menu) It is not just the touch screen; the buttons are just as unresponsive when the issue is present. After a about a minute or two of use while I'm having this issue the phone will become more and more unresponsive, finally I might have to press an item 10-20 times before the phone opens it. At that point I need to reset the phone in order to restore normal functionality.
This used to happen to me using DCD 3.01 and I hoped it would not happen on the newer 3.04 but same issue remains.
Something that is unique to my situation is that I'm in the US navy and currently deployed, thus my titan will never get a signal. Being that I can't find anyone else with this problem it leads me to think that it might be related to never having a cell signal as most people who change their ROM probably are on the network.
Just to let you know, I have had this problem. I think I limited it down to IM+. With just the included applications running, this did not occur.
I've never used IM+
I'd suggest that both of you list ALL apps that you added to the ROM.... That way we can cross reference what you both have in common when the issue happens, and can eliminate OEM's one at a time....
I didn't add anything to the roms. Just donwloaded the rom and flashed it.
I installed Mortplayer and HTC home 2.0 + HTC home customizer 1.0. Those are the only two programs I have on my titan.
Then it could be HTC home. I found what specifically lags me about IM+ is the home screen plugin. Try disabling the HTC home screen plugin.
I'm having this same problem. It started after updating to the new Rev A/GPS Rom from Sprint. I've just recently noticed that when the device becomes unresponsive, the signal strength icon is showing data transfer. The device is acting like it is becoming bogged down while sending or receiving a large amount of data. The last time it became unresponsive, I hit the Com manager button, triggered airplane mode (thereby killing the data connection), and the device instantly became responsive again.
The only thing I have running in the background is Outlook which is checking my Gmail every 15 minutes.
I do have HTC home and Home Customizer on it though. Anyone seeing a pattern here??? I do not use IM.
I ran across Spybot Search & Destroy for WinMo standard and PPC last night. was thinking of installing it and see if it discovers any possible malware. I highly doubt it though since I never surf to unknown websites or open unknown mail.
I should also say that I did make some reg edits for better power management. But they were done with the previous Sprint Rom AND after the new Sprint Rom was installed. Never had a problem when running the previous Sprint Rom.
Anyone else noticing this happening when data seems to be transferring? Anyone try disabling the HTC home and Home Customizer?
HTC Home is a huge memory leak, the worst of any PPC application I've ever run
it dumps tons of useless info to the kernel log which may be the cause
I would suggest rltoday, there are htc home clone themes available
Thanks so much for the info DCD!! Checking out rltoday right now. Possibilities look endless.
I'm bumping this thread because I have the same problem all the time. The issue appeared on No2Chem's ROMs and DCD's roms. I have many programs installed, but it sounds like this occurs even with no programs installed. Did anyone figure out a fix for this?
It is quite annoying to find my phone randomly very unresponsive to any key press (touch screen or hard buttons).
By the way, could it be our radios? I'm using 3.42.30.
Interesting - I've been a user of DCD roms since pre-3.01 on my XV6800 and have never had any problems. After installing 3.3.4, however, I did experience these exact same symptoms. I tried removing applications, today plugins, etc., but the issue persisted. As a last resort, figuring it was just some incompatibility with my configuration and not the rom, I rolled back to 3.2.6 and all has been fine so far.
So here's a peculiar incident:
I have a CDMA TP with a stock ROM and a few basic apps I gathered from these forums and others. I've had it for less than a week.
Tonite, I went to check my text messages. Suddenly, the screen went black and the phone stopped responding. After pressing the power button and fiddling with the keys, I pulled out the stylus and did a soft reset. No response. Confused by this, I tried again, but still nothing. I removed the battery, and turned the phone back on. It froze at the "Touch Pro" screen with the rom/radio/etc info at the bottom. After repeating this a few times I decided to do a hard reset. So, I turn the device on and perform the hard reset. By this point the TP is only turning on SOME TIMES, and I have to take the battery out and put it back in often just to get it to start successfully. So, I finally get the device to boot up and it starts to configure WinMo. Suddenly, while configuring, it freezes. Now I try to turn it back on, and nothing happens.
Basically the device is stuck like this, shifting between not turning on at all and turning on but freezing at the "Touch Pro" screen.
So, my question is, what the heck is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem, or does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated.
p.s. Yes, the battery is fully charged.

Time to take it in and get a new one.....
Same problem here phone started b not coming out of lock mode. Backlight is on but no display on screen (if i tilt the screen left and right i can see light coming from behind) did about 6 hard resets and still same problem. also power button works whenever it wants to. this phone sucks @ss, i want my mogul back. on a second note my replacement will be here on wednesday.
Touch Pro stock rom purchased back in nov when it came out
yeah, i've had the same problem, i found if i hit my phone on the back or side and then batter pull and hit the soft reset while off, not the power button to turn it back on, it comes back on with color on the screen not just blank black screen with backlight, this works mostly every time, but when it doesn't, i just hold the power button down and do battery pull and hit the power button and it works, its like its got a combo of things you have to do before it works.. weird
Boot Up
I have also had similar problems. I for some reason sometimes have to remove my SD card and boot up without it for some reason. Not all the time, but every once in a blue moon. Not too sure how that affects anything, but you may try that too.
well i started a thread here ***help*** because i kinda have the same problem.
i downloaded some cabs, nothing fancy but i had some problems with a theme i downloaded. when i went to deleted i couldnt..... to make a story short, i took it to the sprint store where they tried to do a master reset/ hard reset and it wont take it. it wont do a thing... they say some important files are missing...
the phone works but not the way it should... the time on the home screen wont show up. and some other small things...
dont know how this happened but i would like to know... im worried about new programs to the phone now. ( getting a new one)
still want to see if i can fix this one.

Have you tried re flashing the ROM?
it wasnt HTC's fault for your phone's not booting...thats what happens when u try to mess with the hardware too much and you dont know what your doing
Would you want to sell???
Reboot Brick HTC process
****DOn't take battery out after hard boot***
1.just watch videohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sk56olMkCtU and do what they do but dont take battery out. LEAVE phone STUCK on BOOT screen. Nothign else will move or work but you want phone just like that.
2. connect usb cable to active sync. (this may not link up but leave usb connected anyhow) Do not delete phone profile.
3.use rom like Download MightyROM6_Herman.exe avail at: http://www.lilrico.com/Mighty/mightyromblog/?p=454
4 although active sync is still attatched but may not be connecting. It will connect thru usb anyway when you run the rom software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fV2I2WAFkg4&NR=1
This worked and kept phone from cutting on and off. and restored ROM. don't know about original htc boot. but your phone will work under this rom for now and you can go from there.
hey thanks plain ole dumb, it works now.
man I thought it was over.
thanks again
hi guys
I'm not really sure what my hd2 is doing.
I wanted to listen to music but it couldn't find any music files (I use the simple music player from within htc sense). So i turned it off and forgot to turned it back on. 2-3h later (now) I reminded myself and turned it back on.
The starting process war so slow and suddenly I expected something strange and it really happened:
Windows Mobile started complete new like after an rom upgrade or your very first starting.
Calender,mails,configurations,installed software - it all rolled by my mind.
But no,everything is still there.
Ok,I need to configure WLAN again and it forgot my mail password and some minor configurations are different but it seems everything is working...
Microsoft My Phone can't be started...
"is not responding and needs to be closed due unexpected errors.go to "all programs -> my phone" to start it again"...
my HD2:
rom version: 3.14.407.2 (GER) (the "latest" official rom from htc)
mila version: 2.5.20181527.0
So...
I have no idea how this is possible. I just turned it off and on again.
And I thinks it's very strange that My Phone isn't working anymore.
Maybe broken flash memory inside my device?
Time for a hard reboot methinks
I agree with johnerz it sounds like house need to do a hard reset of your HD2. But I sugest trying to vet Microsoft My Phone working first. Have you set up hour MSN live on your HD2 sense this strange acorrance? If not do so cause you have to set it up first before Microsoft My Phone willsign in and work. Also try downlodind and reinztalling Microsoft My Phone frimths market place. Wish youluck.
I have had the same issue, had to flash back to stock, then !twice! to the rom I wanted. This solved it.
Unfortunately there was no My Phone download in the market place. So I try surfing myphone.microsoft. com. It deleted the old version of My Phone and needs to restart the device.
After restarting the date is suddenly at some time in Nov 2009?!
Anyway...it's working and I can make my backups.
But what about the hard reset?
There are two ways to do a factory reset. One way is perform a clear storage process through the phone settings. The other way is to perform a hard reset by pressing certain buttons on your phone, in cases when you are unable to start up your phone and enter the phone settings.

there is no difference between these two methods,right?
I will remove Sim card and memory card (just in case).
And you really think this will solve my problem?
Hopefully it's not a hardwarebased problem -.-
So,I will try the clear storage process via settings...
Hi,
A few days ago, I updated my HTC Titan (bought in 2011 in France as a sim-unlocked device) to the official Tango update (+ firmware update) through Zune.
Then, after doing a hard reset, the usual setup assistant is displayed, but at the end of it there is a new step that wasn't there before the update (titled "Almost Done") telling me that the phone is going to launch some kind of htc specific utility in order to configure my data connection for my carrier. Then after clicking on "continue", I see a black screen for about 15 seconds (like when an app doesn't manage to load properly and WP7 kills it because it took too long to start), then the start screen appears (but I don't receive the usual fake welcome SMS from Windows Phone).
I can launch apps, but the capacitive Back button, Start button, Search button don't react (they cause the phone to vibrate, but WP doesn't react to these commands).
After shutting down the phone and restarting it, I'm greeted by the setup recovering screen (titled "Welcome Back") telling me that Windows Phone will resume my setup where I left it (that explains why the capacitive buttons don't react: they were software disabled because Windows Phone considered it was still in first setup mode. Same for the fake welcome sms I didn't receive). Of course the same problem happens again when I tap on continue, and when I restart my phone.
I tried several hard reset through the usual methods (either through the about menu, or through the menu displayed using VolUp+VolDown at startup). Still the same problem. I guess it's a bug that should happen on many Titan devices. I contacted the HTC support and they told me to send my phone back to HTC for repair
Of course Zune won't let me restore the backup because of the firmware update not longer compatible with the backup.
Did anybody have the same problem with a stock htc titan rom?
I'm also wondering what is the new "HTC Log disable" command on the "CUST APPSBL" screen? I'm sure it wasn't there before the update. Is there some kind of htc specific logging that is enabled by default (since it is a "disable" command). What is being logged?
Also, the red diode (indicating when the battery is charging) is being lit during startup, which didn't happen before the update. Does that mean something?
Hi,
It is quite normal for the new Tango ROM to display that extra HTC specific step, even though it doesn't work!
I experimented with the Titan a bit and found that as soon as the Start screen appears after setup, before doing anything else, long press the Connection setup app in the app list and uninstall it.
It will enable normal functionality.
If needed you can always download it again from Marketplace.

It happened to me too!!!
Moreover, after a hard-reset the HTC Market disappeared in the market!
I disabled the pin to the sim re-formatted, and connected to electricity, and aftew few times HTC market reappeared (!), immediately updated ALL the htc software (even the connection wizard) and everything is OK now... exept the possibility to install INSIDER (by Microsoft)... it is said that the app is not available for my device (!!!) ... I used it until yesterday on my Titan with Mango... I REALLY DO NOT KNOW
BYE

Yes, exactly the same problem happened after hard-resetting on tango. I simply waited a bit with the phone on the main menu and the softkeys not working. After a while, I received the WP7 welcome text, and the softkeys started to work again.
maTTeo
Hi all,
I made a new hard-reset.
As suggested by maTTeo I simply waited even with softkeys not working... I only disactivated the pin on sim so that the Titan could find an internet connection.
After receiving the SMS of woelcome on WP7, I immediately upgraded all the HTC apps
Everythings seems fine for the moment...

OK, this is really weird - after getting the 4.2.2 update, my phone reboots itself every night, not 100% sure it's exactly the same time, but it's been while sitting in my pocket or on the table, not even in use. At first I assumed it was Zooper, which I had installed right after the update, but I disabled it yesterday and got the reboot again tonight.
I even checked my Tasker to make sure some auto-reboot profile hadn't installed itself!
Any hints about how to diagnose this? Do I have no choice but to remove apps one by one? Most of the apps I run are the same ones I run on my TF300 tablet which also has 4.2.2, so don't know if it could be an app.
Did it again tonight and it is the exact same time - 9:19pm It's also interesting is that this is about the time of day I did the update to 4.2.2 It's like some daily thing going on. It must be some new app applied by default by the update, I've disabled some of the obvious new apps.
Does anyone know if I do a factory reset will it go back to 4.1 (which worked fine for me), or will it stay at 4.1?

the Factory reset will erase all ur Apps and will stay in 4.2.2 ......
Looks like this update has really screwed up my phone. After a couple of more nights of trying to disable more apps, and trying to catch the error with logcat (nothing that makes any sense in the log, no error or crashes preceding the reboot) I decided to factory reset.
It rebooted again tonight, about 24 hours after the factory reset.
Also, intermittently now the power button will not suspend the phone, though I can hold it and reboot, I don't know any other way to put it to sleep.
Looking at the log some more, the only thing that gives any hint is that there was Location Services activity before the crash. Googling around about my problem showed there was a bug in Location Services early in 4.2 but the claim was that it was fixed. I guess tomorrow night I'll try turning off Location Services as well.

The update may have screwed up somewhere in the middle, you could try to re-ruu your phone or unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom, also the thing about the power button not putting the phone to sleep or doing anything than reboot on long press happened to me on each and every custom rom and I never did any OTA, got my phone, unlocked bootloader and flash away from sense, my hboot is still the one that it came with, but for me that thing happens really randomly, like once every 1 or 2 weeks, and when that happens for me the volume buttons stop working also till reboot, I was thinking I was the only one facing it so I kinda decided not to talk about that as I saw no one say anything about it, but I am also one of those for who the phone turns off exactly when my phone goes to 6% battery whatever I do, on whatever rom I am and even in the recovery, so I was thinking that maybe vodafone modified something on it, that's an other reason I didn't say anything about the buttons becoming unresponsive...
So what I would recommend is to re-ruu your phone or go to a custom rom (or if none solves anything the phone may have some kind of hard brick).
Just to help out anyone else who ever has this problem.
It was not location services.
I can see clearly in two logs an HTC process crashing. This seems to cause a cascade that leads to reboot.
I contacted HTC tech support, they suggested I boot up in a recovery mode and try to wipe data cache. They were surprised to find that attempting to do that caused a reboot.
So as Ranomez suggests above, they want me to re-do the update with the RUU when they release it, which they said would be "soon" last weekend.
On the other hand, my battery life after this update is fantastic, so I've decided I can live with this to not have to worry about recharging by mid-afternoon!
