Ack, had my 1st phone freeze today.
Which, I'm not sure, but may be due to hardware, as this phone (6700) was prone to freezing.

Then again, never had a freeze with the latest release of WM5, 3.5 AKU.

Will wait and see....

I have been experiencing freezing problems with my PPC-6700 since I installed WM6 on Saturday. The frustrating part is that upon soft reset, it would just hang on the green Windows Mobile Splash Screen and never load. Each time it would require a hard reset, so I had the pleasure of configuring the device on multiple occasions!

I decided to try a Safe Mode program, so at least I would have a chance to recover when it froze. I loaded a program called Monocube (www.monocube.com), as it offered a 14-day trial period. When the device froze, I went into Monocube Safe Mode and was able to access the device (remove programs, change settings, etc.). I tried removing programs one by one, but each time I removed a program and soft reset it would still hang on the WM Splash Screen. I then un-checked the HTC Home Today Plug-in and the device finally loaded properly.

I don't know if this will resolve the freezing problem others are indicating, but un-checking the HTC Home Today Plug-in seems to have resolved my issues thus far.

I like Pocket Plus for this. (Though with the HTC today plug-in, I'll turn off the Pocket Plus today feature). Pocket Plus gets you a safe-mode boot feature, plus I like the CLOSE-ALL feature I can assign to a button instead of dealing with the tiny X in the upper right. WM6 made that part better, but still didn't get it right.

I had this happen to me twice so far, had to hard reset both times, which is quite frustrating. I'll try removing the HTC Home today plugin, although I do like the look

Where did you uncheck the plug-in?

Also, how do I 'hard reset'? In general is there a list of 'special keys' you can hold down while starting/resetting to engage certain modes?

Thanks!!

other than that this ROM rules my world!!!

can't wait for a kitchen!

Search for the HTC home customizer and use it to remove the "profile" window.

Is there a way to remove the junkware from this ROM? I did a soft reset when it was about to do the customizing. But I'm not sure what to install from the Extended ROM. Has anyone compiled a list yet? Thanks!

You don't have to install anything from the extended rom. The Sprint customizations are built into the rom.

For future reference, there is a sticky about 3 threads below this one that lists which cabs are necessary for each carrier. Here's the link:

So I can do a soft reset before it does the customizing part and then just install the CABs listed on that page? Basically I want the WM6 on my 6700 but would like to get rid of programs like Audible, etc.

I've just started noticing this as well. I'm not sure if it's the main phone settings doing this or the "automatic" setting on the HTC Home ringer tab taking over even though it's not listed as being active (it's set on "normal"). Still, only bug #3 since Friday...

I should note that I do have Photo Contacts Pro installed. Wondering if this might be a factor, too.
