Since disabling - I have not had any hang ups on the Boot Screen requiring a Hard Reset (2 days). And the device seems to be running even smoother - which I did not think was possible.

So it looks like the HTC Home Plug-In may be the problem with hanging and need for Hard Resets.

Sucks though, I really like that HTC Home. Need a good stable alternative.

Again - thank you to Helmi_c, luv2chill, colonel and everyone else who has worked to make our devices and this site amazing!

It may not be HTC that is causing the problem, it may just be conflicting w/ another program...I was having similar problems w/ HTC & weatherpanel together, but since my last hard reset, I did not installed WP, & so far so good.

As has been posted before, the fix for the phone returning to vibrate automagically is to remove the profile tab from the HTC home plugin using the customizer here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6355

However, I am stumped by something basic, here:

1. Which tab is 'profile'? The tabs I see are home, 'favorite people', weather, launcher, music and sound. These are represented, as I understand it, by the numbers 1 - 6 in the customizer.

2. How do you remove the tab? The HTC Home customizer has two options categories, "HTC Options" and "Optoins". The only tab function I see is "Tab Order" under "HTC Options". Is this where you go to remove a tab? How do you remove one and which of the above is the 'profile' tab?

Thanks all!

edit-
I have seen this mentioned elsewhere, but cannot recall if it is in this thread - on another apparent bug (Verizon):

The phone will attempt and fail at a data connect (#777) through the cellular network while it is cradled with Activesync. This call will fail (error code 37) and the phone will then go into a loop of trying to dial and displaying the error continuously. A soft reset is required to clear it up.

to remove it, fire up the resco registry editor and browse to

Code:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome

Change Tabsetting from 1,2,3,4,5,6 to 1,2,3,4,5 to remove it. Now disable and then re-enable the HTC Home Today plugin. i'm hoping this keeps my phone from randomly turning sound on during the day now.

Runt, thank you for your guidance, which helped me also figure out how to do it using the HTC customization utility.

Let me write those steps out for anyone else:

1. Go to start>programs>HTC Home Customizer
2. Choose HTC Options
3. Choose Tab Order
4. 6 is default, which is all of them. "Profiles" is the last, number 6, by default. It is the app that lets you choose regular ring, vibrate, silent or automatic. It appears all the way to the right in the default HTC Home screen.
5. Click on "5", telling the customizer you only want 5 tabs to display.
6. The Customizer will then let you choose the order of the 5. Order the 5 any way you want, just don't choose "Profile" as one of the tabs in the order. Hit okay and exit the customizer
7. When the plug-in restarts, the Profile (ringer choice) tab will be gone.

Thanks again.

i have been noticing a problem with sending MMS/pix messages. If i take a pic and then click on the send button, i cant get to the MMS screen, the phone freezes. If i hold the end button i can get out of it and then go send it through MMS. kinda annoying.

CAB REQEST: CAMBRIDGE BTPROFILE:
Does anyone have a Cab for Cambridge BTprofile which is found in the Helmi_C aku 3.5 kitchen?? I searched all over in this forum and google, but no luck. I tried creating the cab with WinCE Cab manager, but after the install, there is no additional tab in the bluetooth settings. IF YOU HAVE A WORKING CAB FILE FOR THIS, PLEASE SHARE. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: THERE IS NO REGISTRY INFO IN THE RGU FILE(THE ONLY TEXT IN IT IS "REGEDIT4")

contacts not showing up

Hey all!

New to the board! Nice one!

Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse here......

Cant get the contacts to load up after the upgrade. I saw on another thread to flash back to WM5 but how do you flash back to WM5. Sorry for sounding like an idiot. ....just new to all this.

Also, Garmin mobile 10 doesnt work anymore. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!!

Flashing back to WM5 will not help you restore your contacts if they were not backed up...

My issues...FWIW

Now that threaded SMS is working and there is a workaround for WPA wifi, I've had a chance to run WM6 on my device for a few days. I'm having some of the same issues everyone else is having (volume slider not locked, HTC plugin issues, ect.). However, there are a couple of problems I'm having that I haven't heard very much noise about:

1. My battery life is MUCH worse on this ROM than previous ROMs. I have not changed anything with regard to how I use the phone (i.e., no data connection, very little, if any, wifi, moderate call usage), but I've had a chance to switch back and forth between my AKU3.5 (1.04) kitchen build and WM6 a few times now and the difference is very noticeable. I'm wondering if it might have something to do with the way the device suspends. Anyone else seeing degraded battery performance?

2. Activesync is acting flaky. I've seen only a couple people report this problem. Basically, my device will connect okay to Activesync, but when I try to transfer files or install programs (from the installer), it gets stuck and then disconnects. However, the phone still thinks its connected, even if I pull the cable out. It stays that way until I soft reset. This happens about once every 4 or 5 connections. I've tried every combination/variation of USB/RDNIS and "Advanced networking..." I could think of, but no help. Hard reset and reflashing did not fix this, but when I am on my AKU3.5 ROM, it does not have this problem.

Thanks Hefman! Luckily I had everything backed up on an old rzr.
