Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

I Have a Sprint TP2.

I delved into Roms last week when i got my TP2. I tried the r13 rom first and liked it, but at some point when I tried to turn my phone back on it wouldn't. I tried everything, even restarting the phone. It just didn't respond any more so I had to hard format. Then i tried installing Mighty Rom.

I got it customized and everything. It worked nearly perfectly. The only problem I had was that it drained the battery REALLY quickly (like 1 percent per minute) sometimes and i figured something might be running in the background. But today, it's doing the same thing as the r13 rom.

Some programs I have installed are:
Cookie's home tab editor
Skyscape medical programs
Batti
1% battery cab
No-push internet
tree size pro
pandora
slacker radio
clean rom

and some more i can't remember at the moment.

Does anyone have any tips on how i can fix this for good? Or should I just keep trying roms and hope that it will fix it.

The phone is literally unusable at this point.

Is this a known problem?

Thanks.

Ok.. here is what I did when my TP "became slow", archive my text messages using MyPhone, cleanup yahoo email inbox, then reflash with MightyROM!

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

What do you mean by slow? Here's what happens with mine. Sometimes it'll turn on, sometimes it won't. I can try holding the power button, pulling the keyboard out or pulling the stylus out and it may turn on or not depending on how the phone feels at that particular moment. Sometimes having someone text me or call me turns it on too. That used to at least let me use the phone, but now even after a restart of the phone it kinda gets stuck on the launching HTC sense window and the only other window i can sometimes get to is if i press the call button to get to the call screen. Can't go to any programs screen to uninstall anything.

Have you tried to do a task29, then flash with a stable MightyROM and do not install anything for couple of days, and see if you still have the issue?

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

I used task29 then flashed to MightyRom 2 days ago. Are there different stable and not stable versions? I used whichever was the most recent. I even did a hard reset before and after installing mighty rom using the button method to be safe. I'll do anything at this point just to get this phone working. I have to go out of state to where i'm sure there won't be sprint support in a couple of weeks and I don't know what I'd do if i had these problems there.

I'll try hard resetting again and see what happens i guess.

The latest MightyROM is most stable ROM here. Also, can you disable Sense and do not select anything on the today screen and see?

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

I can't really get to any menus to disable sense. Is there any way to get there without getting to the programs menu? About the only thing that works is if i hit the antenna on top to to get to the battery and communications menu.

Does your hardware windows key brings up the programs menu?

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

Unfortunately it doesn't bring it up. I can see at the top where the start menu is that it is back there somewhere, but it can't be accessed. I'm doing task29 right now and am going to install Mighty Rom again. Hopefully the phone will at least work.

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

okay..lets see.., report back if you are able to fix it or not..

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

Will do. Thanks for the help so far.

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

By the way, is this the most up to date Mighty Rom? MightyROM_RhodiumW_050110

It's what i'm going to install right now.

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

That is the latest version.

I suggest you download and flash the shipped rom for your carrier and flash it at least twice. Then clear storage. Then if you want to go back to a custom rom then do so. Use a utility like ClearTemp to help clean out Temporary files at least twice a week and use CleanRam when you want to close processes and free up ram to avoid soft resets if your device is running slow. WinMo has a learning curve but if you are smart enough it is still a powerful platform. ;)

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

I'm curious what flashing the original rom twice will do. I thought task29 deletes everything already. So far i haven't had any problems with this current flash, but if it starts doing that again I'll do your suggestion. I'm also looking into cleartemp.

Re: Touch pro 2 Keeps freezing and becomes unusable, Please Help
 

you are right, i actually don't recommend flashing any other rom but the one you are going to use when you perform a task29.

doing so defeats the whole purpose of performing the task29.

t29 wipes the rom out of the phone, at this point, whatever rom you flash will be the only rom on that phone. if you flash a stock rom then a custom rom, you may leave remnants of the stock rom onto the new rom therefor completely defeating the purpose of t29

do t29 and then flash whichever rom you want to use, then perform a hard reset(this ensures everything from the flash went through). that's all
