It locked during regular operation and I had to soft reset. It will not get past the WM6 splash screen and I will have to hard reset again. Ouch. I love the new OS, and for the most part it has been good to me, but doing a hard reset weekly is really killing me right now. I need the device to work (albeit in a MUCH less impressive way) by going back to the regular build supported by Verizon. Do I just go into bootloader and download the latest patch for the xv6700 from Verizon's website? Any other recommendations?

If you do just a little searching on here, you'll find that disabling the HTC Home plugin should solve this boot up problem. There are also some folks that have disabled the "autoupdate" for the HTC Home plugin weather data, but I don't know the details of that.

Regardless, pretty much all of us that disabled the HTC Home plugin have not had any freezing or boot issues...

Hmmm... sucks since the HTC HOME plug-in is kinda cool. (grown on me, graphically, although I prefer SBS PLUS for functionality).

As for searching for answers... people should indeed search first, but don't come down on them. The search function on this forum leaves much to be desired.

I honestly wasn't trying to come down on him -- it was more of a subtle hint...

I try not to bash noobs the way some do. I did, after all, try to answer his question, instead of the canned "try a search" response...

That said, I agree the search function is not that great, but I did a search for "splash screen" and the first thread listed was all he needed.

The search function in vBulletin is much improved compared with phpBB. If you want searches to give you more specific results, be sure to click the Advanced Search option, then select "Show Results as: Posts."

i've searched and didnt find much.. which Verzion ver would i use if my bootloader is ver1.00 ?? thanks..

If I'm to understand correctly...
it's not the HTC plugin that's causing issues, but the WEATHER TAB within the HTC HOME plug-in??? So it would follow that disabling the weather plugin would solve the issue?

Also, I missed it, what program allows you to boot to safemode?
I was using SBS PLUS for that, but I don't want to run that & HTC HOME, at the same time as it's wasteful of resources.

I had the problem where everytime I soft reset my phone it would freeze on startup. To fix it I had been disabling HTC before the reset and then turn it on. If my phone froze I relied on SafeMode from monocube.com.

Now though that I have disabled the download weather data automatically I have not had a single freezup on start up.

I have soft reset 4 times so far with no freeze.
