stuck in WM splash screen - Page 3

This is a very funny problem, since we all seem to have different setups.

The good thing is that I can set up my device in about 30 min after all of these hard resets since I'm keeping all of the app install cabs on the SD card.

I would love to get to the bottom of this, though.

Btrcp2000, are you able to go into the today plugins and uncheck HTC Today screen? I wasn't able to when using Ilauncher in safe mode but I was able to download and load Monocube Safe Mode 2 (per an earlier thread, thanks) and install it when in safe mode. http://www.monocube.com/content/view/5/37/

I then was able to get it going, somehow get Monocube's safe mode going and when I did that all of my today plug ins were there and I unchecked it and rebooted. It took a bit of effort but it got me going again.

Did/Do you use WeatherPanel?? That seems to be one commonality between many of us, and you didn't mention whether you had it or not. Just curious.
I'm surviving without it at the moment, and I've not had any problems. I've soft-reset several times, even reloaded a few times to fix other issues (like Slide2Lock 1.7 not liking SPBTime), but so far so good. I'm going to try and keep this current load going for a while to see if I have any issues. If not, I'll load WP from the CAB and see what happens.

My test phone did this yesterday running, I soft reset several times with no results, I did a hard reset and still nothing so I just flashed back to Kirvins C&S 3.5 1.02. There was nothing really installed on the WM6 with no mods or regedits. Looks like more bugs to be worked out.

Well, it's been 3 days. I've soft reset for various reasons, and no hang ups. I'm currently running:

SPB Pocket Plus
SPB GPRS Monitor
TomTom
PocketWeather I do miss my WP ;-(
Photo Contacts Pro
SlingPlayer Mobile
SiriusWM5
Live & Live Search
Slide2Unlock 1.21
Wisebar Lite

Well, that's the big stuff. So, we'll see keep it going for a bit longer, then I'll reinstall WP and see what happens.

I read this in another thread on this board. So far it has fixed my freezing problem for those using WM6 with HTC. Go to the weather panel go to find city name , menu, weather options, uncheck download weather data automatically.

Mine would freeze anytime I did a soft reset and I would have to re-flash but I have reset 6 times since that change with no freezing.

Curious if this works for other people.

Well, I seem to have this happen now and then as well, and I don't use weather panel, the only today plugin I use is the HTC Home.. I don't have a lot of apps installed, so I'm starting to this it just my be the phone, lol.. Ohh I'm running Helmi's WM6...

Luckily, after a hard reset, I'm up and running in about 10 - 15 mintues (thank you SPB Backup, lol)

@trehouse-

my last freeze on 9/21 was the most disappointing because I had eliminated everything we've discussed here and elsewhere. HTC was already unchecked, and I was not in the process of soft resetting while charging, which I have confirmed will ALWAYS kill my phone.

I didn't have any ability to go into safe mode that I knew of anyway. Is it built into helmi's wm6 somewhere? Doesn't matter, I finally caved and got spb backup.

@coreyoli- what happens when you activesync after restoring with spb? (assuming you use AS). Do you have to establish a new partnership, or does it duplicate the PIM info with whatever is in outlook?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, I've been running smoothly without weatherpanel, although I'm frequently caught without my umbrella. I might try the auto update thing, but I don;t want to mess with my phone for a while.

Btrcp2000, it sounds like your working through the issue. I haven't had any freezes after a soft boot since I stopped messing with the weather panel custom icons and custom city definition. I dont know if its related or not. I don't know of a safe mode app in Helmi's WM6. Good idea to get the backup app. Will get you back from hell sometime.

it's power related...
