WM6.5: Can't unlock anymore, have to reset device. - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Weird issue since the upgrade to WM6.5: When I lock my device, I can't unlock it any more.
I can slide the slider, (left or right doesn't matter), becomes white, but doesn't do anything.
The only way to get back in is to softreset the TP2
Am I the only one with this problem?
And does somebody have a solution?

Never happened to me and definitely not normal. Does it happen every time you lock the device? If so, then you may need to hard reset.
If not, it may be a bad app. But since you soft reset to access the device, you probably can't figure out what's the cause. Rather than soft reset, try pulling the stylus out to see if that unlocks it.

Tilt 2 Hard SPL difficulties
i have downloaded 2 hard SPL's in pursuit of flashing my tilt 2
1. RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3
2. Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3
don't know which one i'm supposed to use, but after downloading and installing the CAB which i was prompted to use by the latter of the two, i opened the SPL file and a message popped up on my phone saying that the program wasn't meant for my phone and would most likely brick my phone.
So, now i don't know what to do. Please advise

okay. tried using the V2_00R3 and after choosing to auto flash it brings up the next prompt telling you that all info will be deleted, but when it does this, the phone turns off. its been a while since i first put Hard SPL on my Kaiser and can't remember if that's normal. is it?

This happened to me when I first got my Tilt2. It was annoying as hell. I stopped locking my phone and just turned the screen off instead. About three days later, the problem went away and has not returned.
How's that for an answer to your problem? HA!

yes I have this weird issue as well and only started after i upgraded to WM6.5 ( I have a vodfone TP2 with Vodafone ROM upgrade). The slide to unlock button just sticks to the left or right and only a soft reset fixes it, until it locks again! i have had to change the lock mode to windows classic : start>setting>all setting> lock> display tab> select windows classic. would have loved to keep the default lock mode but its pointless reseting to unlock everytime!

Phone kept resetting after soft reset!

Ok has that anyone had this issue with their Orbit?
I had noticed that the keyboard was not giving me any predicted text choices while typing, so I tried to change the input method to no avail. So I decided to perform a sft reset to sort the problem.
Oh was I not happy with the result as for over 5 mins all that was happening with my phone was the screen would light up o2 screen, green screen then enter pin and reset and it would do this again and again.
So even after removing the battery for a few minutes not change once I attempted to start the phone. I even reset the device via the button on the side and it made no difference.
I was just getting ready to bite the bullet and sound off the o2 when I remembered reading on here of something similar happening so I searched and found a posting saying to try and press soft reset just after phone started. And guess what it worked after that so what I want to know is why or what I did to get my phone working again?
Any ideas guys, only thing I can add was the phone was plugged in to my workstation USB so was charging when the initial soft reset was performed while using Valksoft's space reclaimer reset option.
Thanks

Ok an update the phone is now doing this everytime it is turned off. And since the last time it occurred I have been unable to get the phone to work.
Any ideas, I believe it could be a registry issue with the phone as I had recently installed a couple of programs that worked fine for a couple of days then while installing a dictionary several programs were uninstalled in error.
So after installing again this problem has arisen. It is possible that this was not th cause as I hae noticed tat the last scheduled back up was on the 22/01/07 so Monday's was not carried out possibly due to this?
my orbit has also this bug. after a soft reset he is booting up till the pin entry and then a boots again and again. Up to 5 times
Yes, my Orbit sometimes needs to reboot 4 times before it will sucessfully bring up the Home Screen. Anyone got any ideas on why???!!!??
I had enough of it doing this so I have done a hard reset and the problem has gone now just need to set everything back as I want it as backup still had the initial issue once it was retored.
I guess it was to do with the registry but not sure what exactly, maybe redundant reg keys etc?
I've experienced same problem on my dutch t-mobile mda compact III.
Happend after installing different programs, but i can't find the exact cause.
when i remove the microsd (on which i installed the programme's) the device starts en doesn't softreset when phone screen shows.
At first i thought it had to do with programs that tried to connect to gprs before even entering the pincode of the phone. But even without pincode it keeps restarting.
Happend on my 1gb microSD once en also on my 2 gb microSD.
Hope that someone knows what the cause is, so i can prevend it from happening.
Resets caused by the Memory Card Fault
Look at the posts regarding the memory card corruption if you back-up the card format it and then put it back everything is fine for a while. Not puttting a My Documents folder on the storage card usually helps with this issue...
rebooting.
hi,
as you well understand there are only 2 possibilities: software and hardware failure.
Surely, you don't want to think about hardware failure, because in this case the solution is to send it back to seller or to service center. Except for the cases caused by battery and sd card. These are 2 elements you can replace on your own easy.
However, "instability" of the device normally caused by installed software.
The first thing you do, like it or not, if you have a problem, hard reset your device.
BACKUP your DATA before hard reset!
You can try to to remove software piece by piece, but could be time consuming thing and not necessarily lead you to a good result.
Radical approach is to return device to "factory state" - hard reset.
If after hard reset you still have a problem with your device like accidentally rebooting, address to service center or ask seller to to replace the good.
regards,
rebooting.
double post.
I had the issue once... card corrupted. Had a back up so formatted the card, put data back in, issue gone.
This has happened to my orbit a couple of times. But I think if I reset by pressing the reset button on the side of the machine it only resets once. Resetting after installing apps for example from the prompt is bad, do it later by pressing the actual button. This seems to work for me but only time will tell.

B&B 4.0 Freezes at B&B 4.0 screen

I was doing something in task manager yesterday.
When i was shutting down some programs.
My MDA COMPACT III froze.
The last program i closes was device.exe
Now its hanging,
It goes through he O2 screen, the next screen stays on.
Back light keeps burning.
what am i supposed to do now?
I've had this a few times now. The latest was after I installed Opera and did a soft reset. I left the PDA for over an hour but it never came back responsive. After several soft resets I had to do a Hard Reset. (Hold down both Soft-Keys and Press the reset button in the hole on the side with the stylus). This WILL wipe all your data though.
i already left it on for 5 hours, no changes where made.
i also left it laying on my desk with the battery removed.
no changes
In bootloader it doesn't get connected to my pc, so i can't flash any rom into it

that is not how a hard reset is done. dont press the buttons on the sides of the device. what you do is starting bootloader.
to do a hard reset do as described here in the wiki.

That's bootloader mode NOT a hard reset.
To perform a hard reset, press and hold two keys on FRONT of phone next to Red and Green call buttons while pressing reset button with stylus. Keep these TWO buttons held until text appears on screen asking you to "Confirm to Format". Press the GREEN call button and then sit back until the phone re-boots.
Then you have the good job of re-installing everything again.................at least the phone will now work though.
i feel freaking dumb right now....
going to feel a shamed sitting in the corner with a donkey hat on.
thanks guys, its up and running!

have the same problem
stucking Artemis
same Problem here with my Orbit. I had to hard-reset two times last week after installing new programms. After It ran fine for about 4 days until yesterday.
Anyway, very fine piece of Rom, even nicer when buggs fixed.
If you guys can post what you have installed, whether you have anything added in traylauncher, and if you overclock with batterystatus, that would be really helpful - It would be good to nail this problem down, as people have been having this kind of issue since v3.7, and I've yet to find anything in common.
As it stands, after I've disabled traylauncher, I've not had to hard reset for nearly a week now.

The first time my Orbit stuck just after installing Battery-Status as first Program after installing the new Rom to my Orbit. (I did not overclock at this time!)
I do not know what was second, but my device stuck after necessary soft-reset just after installing.
I installed B&B 4 again after the second hard-reset and it worked fine with dynamic overclocking from 143 to 247 MHz for 4 - 5 days. I felt as a lucky Guy
Yesterday I had to switched off the phone (not the device). As i wanted to switch on the phone some hours later it stuck. After waiting some Minutes and nothing happened, I did a soft reset and my Orbit hung in B&B-screen. A few soft-resets later I did a hardreset to get it back to work.
For those still having trouble with freezes on soft reset - have any of you still got the 6 tab home plugin?
Gullum posted this in the Dev forum, and that could be whats causing it - I'd gone back to 5 tabs, as it'd always set the phone to vibrate with appointments.
I'd forgotten that I'd done that, and that could well be whats fixing the issue.
Hi i've already had this problem, which is well described in this thread...

Its not a v4 only issue, i had the same problem with v3.7 and that was without anything else installed, it only happens on soft reset and it appears to happen more oftern than not when there is some form of activity, ie, program closing / loading, media player running.
Just happened for first time on v4 for me yesterday, again, no additional programs installed

Touchflo 3d not autolaunching after reset at times.

Is anyone else having the problem where after a soft reset(or a manual shutdown/restart) touchflo3d doesn't autostart?
It happens to me about 50% of the times I reset, but I jus thave to switch it off again and on again and usually it works fine.
Totally different, but I have this sometimes with Touch Flo 2D on my TyTn II. I usually get it if I've installed to much, It always launches if I haven't got the Micro SD card in though.
I've had this happening to me since I got it, and after a few hard resets it still happens... Seemingly at an increasing frequency too.
Yup, I'm experiencing the same problem.
It's really annoying, and more people are having this issue.
There's already a thread about this.
What works for me most of the time is this:
- Disable TF3D in settings.
- Soft reset device with power button
- Enable TF3D again
- Sometimes TF3D starts now, but if not reset again.
I can't wait for a more stable and fast cooked rom
Hope this helps
Oh Sorry, I couldn't find the other thread. I just keep resetting and hopee it randomly decides to starts. Love this phone, just a few things that really annoy me
The inability to find a way to make it autolock(not standby) after X seconds for example. If anyone can help with that, I'd greatly appreciate it.

DId you install any apps?
These kind of problems are mostly caused when 2 programs interfere with eachother. Teh reason why one time it does start up and the other time it doesn't is the sequence of programs starting up. Most of the time touch flow 3d will start later (because it's so big)
i have had this happen a couple of times as well.

I doubt it's caused by that. I've hard reset it installed core and tomtoma nd had it happen..
and I'm sure it's not just slow to start up, I've tried making calls and simply leaving it for 10 minutes and it still doesnt start up.
It only started haooening to me after I instaled software.
I guess the best thing to do right now, is to install all software with touchflo disabled, then reboot completly the device to finalize the instaltion, and then reboot it again. Now you can reactivate Touchflo again.
This "trick" has worked perfectly on my Pro 2
HastaSSSS
disable startup
Many programs that you install will leave a startup file in the windows\startup directory. Try cutting and pasting them to some temporary directory. I did that with poutlook and slovoed and the problem has gone away for me, without in any way impairing my calendar/contacts or slovoed functioning.
I got the same problem too.. soft resetting a few times do it or disable/re-enable on Personal-Today Items screen
Kinda annoying
Same problem here. Spoke to HTC today and tol them there were more people having this problem. Mine is so serious that it won't start at all! HTC says I was the first and ONLY one in the world with this problem. They told me that if there were more people having this issue they should CALL HTC. It's free to call them... please do so in finding a solution!
Thanks!
I am suffering under the same issue! It is really annoying! HTC should immediately sovle this problem!
Sounds a bit like my thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3950507
I copied manila.exe from windows to my start-up folder, now it works fine.
yeah i have the same problem its really annoying. it works about 90% of the time now when i copied the manilla.exe to start up folder. before that i tried to put the phone in airplane mode before booting but that worked like half of the time.

touch flor not loading
My phone is hanging again. I can't get it to load Touch Flo 3D. I get this message that it's trying to activate handsfree network and then it says connected and reboots and goes through the same thing 2 or 3 times. I hard reset back in Dec cause of this and then the same thing happened again about a month ago and out of the blue it loaded touch flo and fixed itself.
But this time it's been a couple days and my phone is so slow it's crazy. It's been trying to remove one program for 20 minutes. I thought removing a few programs might help instead of doing another hard reset but it looks like i'm gonna have to do one more.. I haven't added anything new lately. And I even got a message saying your phone can not boot up because of a program from an untrusted source or something else and it wants me to hard reset. It says press volume up to reset or any key to continue and then it goes to that hands activation screen.
Iv'e tried enableing and disabling bluetooth. Sprint store said I have a bad phone cause of that hands free actication message I keep getting and they want to order me aother phone but it's going to be a refurb so I guess i'll hard reset.. Something is causeing it to hang and not load and I don't know what it is.. But I came here and I tired puttingmy phone in airplane mode and rebooted nothng. I have unchecked and checked touch flo and rebooted..
But I went to windows and saw manilla.exe cause you guys said copy it to start up and I clicked on it and I saw my background and clock again but I don't think Touch Flo fully loaded and my task manager wasn't at the top and I ran clean ram cause it was still slow and it said it freed up 32mb but then my screen went black again. I put it in airplane mode once more and took out the battery. But when I never pasted the manila to start up should I do that? I just clicked on it and saw where my clock and background were back but my clock was off by like 15-20 minutes.. I'm sure I'll probablyt have to hard reset but wanted to ask around a couple more times before doing one.. Rose
I was sitting in my den and my friend said he texted me but I didn't get it. I went to check my phone and it seemed ok but no text. I then went to make a phone call and it hung. I went to turn it to airplane mode and it froze. When I restarted it, now I get the black screen with the top and bottom menu bar but no touchflo 3d loading. I get some weird hands free activation message and then it says successful and reboots my phone. When the phone starts back up it is in the same condition without touchflo 3d and the reboot loop continues unless I click cancel.
If I run manilla.exe it will boot up and my today screen will come back but it is SLOW and it doesn't seem to have completely loaded.
WTF happened and how do I fix this?
Same thing happened to me.. Touchflo wouldn't load phone was so slow hands free message kept coming and saying connected and rebooting. I did a hard reset and was good for a couple months then out of the blue on day it did it again. I turned off phone and left battery off overnight and just got lucky and the next day as I was getting in my car it came back on.
But then a few weeks later it did it again and I took it to a Sprint store. I was told that the handsfree activation is something that only happens once when you 1st get a new phone and they said my phone was defective. They were going to order me another one but it was going to be refurbed so I never picked up and just dealt with a hard reset once again. Don't know what causes this but I've had my phone reset for over a week and I just now tonight started putting apps back on cause I was afraid ut had to do with something I installed I really don't know what causes it.. But my touchflo wouldn't load at all compeltely black screen no today screen at all and boy was my phone slow. I went to windows and clicked on manilla.exe also and saw my today screen but it was still slow and not completely loading up to touchflo like you said. And then I read about putting it in airplane mode turning off BT nothing worked for me this last time so I did a heard reset again..
Maybe someone else knows what causes this but I'm leary and am not going to put everything back on my phone that was on there but I've put most everything back.. Sorry I wasn't much help but same thing for me hands free siad connected and would reboot and over and over.. I kind of want an Android phone now and I don't think Sprint should of offered me a refurb when I just bought this in Sept and it's an expensive phone. But oh well things happen.. Good Luck!

WM6.5 Forgot my Password!!

Hi all,
I upgraded my Touch Pro 2 to WM6.5 from the official HTC update, and have been pretty happy with it up until last night.
I'd been using the phone off and on throughout the evening to surf the web, and everything was fine, and then just before bed I went to use it again, and when I tried to unlock it, it told me "The password you typed is incorrect".
I tried again, and the same message. I tried again VERY carefully, and STILL got the same message!
Now my password (pin really as it's numeric) is pretty simple, and I'm definitely typing it in correctly, but it's not working. After a trying a few more times using the qwerty keyboard rather than the on screen number pad, it told me to type in a1b2c3 as a lot of wrong passwords had been tried, and then a bit later it stopped displaying the message at all, and just did nothing when a password was entered.
I've popped the battery out, run the battery down to nothing over night, and still the same.
Searching online, I found this:
http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=9414
and am wondering if the WM6.5 ROM for the Touch Pro 2 has a similar problem. That said, I didn't have the battery out when it forgot my password...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, otherwise it'll have to be a hard reset, which will be slightly irksome.
Thanks in advance,
James.
I forgot to mention that the phone is working fine when I receive incoming calls, but I obviously can't unlock it.
Have you considered that you had the caps lock (or symbol) lock on when you first entered your password. If you press Caps shift twice, it locks in upper case?
Yep - checked and double checked that. The main way to enter the pwd is via an on-screen number pad anyway, so I don't think that could be affected, but I did check.
Cheers for the thought though.
I think a hard reset is your only option.

how to do a har reset?
I had a similar issue, I had an Sprite Backup around that i wanted to go back, but by then I didn't have the screen lock feature, I did NOT turn it off before doing the restore, tried hard resetting the device but I'm assuming the security lock wouldn't let me do it either. So by the end i had to flash the rom again and then I ran the restore.
anyways good luck...
To perform a Touch Pro 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
HTC Touch Pro 2 Rhodium hard reset soft reset
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
This just happened to me as well. Installed the MR2 (WM6.5) upgrade fresh on a handset, installed all my apps, had it working fine for a week. I've used the same password since the beginning, and this morning it simply won't let me in.
This is crazy, right? The phone just picks a different password for you? And I'm assuming there's no way Verizon can unlock it remotely.
If this is happening to other people, it's pretty unacceptable. Anyone else out there having this problem?
I believe WM is set to automatically hard reset if you enter the wrong PIN a certain number (7?) of times?
I've entered about 20 wrong passwords. It just keeps extending the delay before you can try again. Right now I'm at like 18 minutes. Looks like I'll be hard resetting.
Thanks, WM6.5! Really glad you locked my phone for me! Awesome!
I am experiencing the same problem. My CDMA TP2 (Sprint ROM wm6.5/Sense 2.5.2012) ran out of battery and the device turned off, so I put an new battery in and turned it on. It asked me for the password, but the device was not accepting my password regardless of typing it using the on screen keypad or the physical keypad. The device would not recognize my password, and I don't have any weird apps installed. This is obviously one of those Microsoft mistakes that they are too lazy to fix.
Microsoft: you lack ingenuity and don't issue regular and quick updates for your mobile devices, so I will never buy your wm7 phones. How about some customer loyalty: fix this problem and for the phone makers and carriers to issue and new ROM update?
This is not an uncommon problem. I read somewhere else that the installation of Swype might have something to do with it. Did you have that on your phone?

No I did not. I know of the Swype problem too when I installed it on my CDMA TP2 running on the latest official wm6.5 ROM. But this last time, I had never installed Swype, and I am only using Windows Default (Titanium). By the way, I am currently using the latest Sprint Lovers ROM on my TP2 when this problem occurred. Sprint Lovers ROM is a very good and stable ROM with wm6.5.x. I don't have any weird apps installed to cause it to happen.

Strange problem involving power button, screen and soft rest

Ok, this is a slightly weird but VERY annoying issue..
Today I stopped being able to turn my TP2 on from standby.
What actually happens is when I push the power button, the phone activates, but the screen remains blank.
Pushing the volume buttons turns it up and down ( I can hear the tones)
Hang up and other buttons work ok.
The soft rest button does nothing.
Pulling out the battery restarts the phone, and the screen then works fine. Power button can then be used to turn the screen off, but will not turn it back on again
So long as I then keep the phone awake, all is well, as soon as it sleeps, I am back to the same situation.
Problem number 3 is that the Charging LED is no longer lighting up, but the phone is charging as normal.
I have hard reset the phone, and also flashed the latest WWE ROM from HTC, to no effect.
Charging LED is off even when the phone is shut down.
errrm...
Any ideas???

OMG, i am having the EXACT same issue. powerbutton will sleep phone but not initiate the screen to turn back on, openeing keyboard lights up the keys, closing lights up the buttons under the screen. Ive also hard reset etc.
Any help!?!?
I'm gonna try task29 and see what happens, could that be what caused it? Thats the only new thing ive donw
hmm, also noticed that when booting android, i get an error message: Something used micropkit_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
Since the problem deals with the screen/sleep could this be a hint?
BTW: task29 doesnt help at all =[ cant anyone help?
Are you using Windows Mobile or Android?
Hard reset and see if the problem goes away.
running windows mobile and android. Cant boot into android because I receive that error message previously stated... Hard reseting doesnt help =[
Running WM, and I've done 2 hard resets and a ROM flash.
Interestingly enough, the last thing I did before having problems was to run up and play with the latest version of Android, using the cab install version.
Is there some code for that (perhaps used for the power button to intercept the press) that could be remaining in rom after the reset???
Clutching at straws here...
Ok, found this at the end of the Android thread:

thanks a lot, man!
this pretty much solves it - mines' also working now
Note: Flashing hard spl seems to have fixed mine too!
Hmm... could this HSPL also cause a problem with not connecting the device to PC? (device is not reckognized)
Hard SPL Reflash
Hey there, did you just reflash Hard SPL and evertything was fine? or did you hard reset and reflash your ROM also after reinstalling Hard SPL?
Thanks!

Thanks a bunch for posting hat here bbilko!! will try when I get home from my classes
Well i tried flashing the ROM, and hard rest but that did NOT work
Hard SPL on top of those did, someone else will have to test JUST using Hard SPL to fix the problem

I just booted up into my current rom(firestorm) and didnt let it sleep, plugged it in and flashed hard-spl, and it works now!! So dont hard-reset, just flash over your current rom.
Hmmmmm...
Just out of interest (as I'm always updating and playing with android) which version screwed with the phone?
Although it seems to be resolved, I'd rather not have to go though the bother of re-installing HSPL
I was using the cab install version
Project Android 031710v2.cab
Just to note further, before using it I had not installed Hard SPL, nor had I flashed my TP2 to any official ROMS
