Microsoft Live Search
Telenav for Windows Mobile (which dosent work anymore, btw)
Handmark on Demand
HTC X-Button 1.5
WiFiFoFum
Arcsoft MMS
PocketCM Contacts 0.15
Nilisco Flashlight
BlueFrog Big Button Dialer
HTC Home
Google Maps

Maybe a Sprint network problem? I had 3 lockups this PM while using PIE. All started as a hung web page. All required a soft-reboot. I haven't installed the new ROM yet!

I installed the update last night and have had some odd problems. Bluetooth shut itself off once today. Once I turned the unit on and the screen was a "negative" of itself. I turned off and back on and the problem went away. But I've never seen that before. I live in an area without Sprint EVDO but I can roam to another carrier (probably alltel) and get EVDO speeds. This requires a change to the phone settings and when I went from 1xRTT to EVDO things went fine. When I went back, the phone locked up and had to do soft reset. Again, this has not happened before.

The blutooth sound quality is much better with this rom. I've tried the Sony HBH-DS970 and the Motorola S9 headphones and both sound much better to caller on the other end. I can also confirm that the alarm function works while on the charger.

I seem to be having fewer problems as the day wears on, but I'll keep messing with it to see if I can replicate some of the crashes.

I had no freezeups at all until the one time I was in an EVDO area today and used it, I had to soft reset because the device became unresponsive. Didn't even have the bluetooth radio on. I'm thinking it probably has something to do with the EVDO as well.

I am so heated and disappointed. Ive been doing soft resets all day, at least 6. This is ridiculous...and I am glad that i am not the only one.

I too had a few strange things happen yesterday soon after I did the update. By the end of the day I had no problems, also no problems today. I have had no bluetooth issues either. Used my iTech clip for over two hours today with no issues.

But these are the same types of issues I had when I did the last ROM update. I stated this problem yesterday in the thread about this new update coming out. Thats why I didn't immediately update. i had to swap out my last mogul because after I did the update the touch screen wouldnt work and I even did a soft reset and hard reset and the phone just eventually stopped working. I was hesitant to this ROM for this reason. I guess I will continue to wait then. I don't really have that many issues with the phone. I use the Plantronics 650e and my alarm works when its charging so I didnt really see a need to do this update. The only reason that made me want to update was because I wanted to access the Sprint Music Store, but all of these issues are definately not worth it.

My was locking like a mofo. I found X Button 1.5 was killing it along with weather panel. I reinstalled both, put X button 2.0 on it and it was ok. I tried to reinstall weather panel but the lag and lockup was back. So far everything is holding it's own. X button 1.5 definitely didn't do me any favors either.

So what do we think we have here?

A problem with EVDO (which I definetly think is the answer, as my phone earlier today was stuck on 1x for no apparent reason, until I went into Field Test Mode and then it locked up when I clicked on HDR) or X button

Turning off the "Turn off device" after certain minutes ended up not working for me. I just did a hard reset and I am going to leave the phone alone for a while to see what happens. I skipped the Sprint custimization this time instead of letting it go last time. Will let you know what happens
