Does Your TP2 Corrupts Itself and Loses Registry Settings?

[JakFrost]

This is about the 5th time this year that my phone corrupted itself, lost a lot of the registry settings, my Gmail account setup, background, ringers, alarms, Manila (SenseUI) settings, background, and generally a lot of stuff. This time it kept my ActiveSync and my contacts, but last time it didn't even do that. My Wife's phone also does the same thing every 2-3 months just like mine. My friend at work who also has a TP2 reports similar issues every few months where the phones resets or just gets so slow it becomes unusable.


I've ran the latest official Sprint ROM 2.04.651.4 2010-03-19 (WM 6.5 21889) and then switched to MightyROM 4.01.605.15 2010-06-20 (WM 6.5 21889) but same thing happens. I've tried the other MightyROM releases with WM 6.5.5 but they are so unstable that the phones corrupt themselves within days, so the 21889 build seems most stable.

Phone: T7380 (CDMA on Sprint in USA)
Radio: 2.32.00 WU (World Unlocked)
HardSPL: V1_10R3

I just reflashed the phone again today and am going back to the Sprint ROM. Any suggestions?

Otherwise I'm just going to wait a few months to get rid of this HTC TP2 and get a new phone with those dual-core processors that are supposed to be coming out "any day now".

theres the problem. u just named the buggiest builds of wm. the 21889 and the 235xx and above builds (2900x might have the bugs worked out) try a 21916 and u won't look back.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'm grabbing NRGZ28's Energy ROMs and I'll try the 29007 one, and if that one fails I'll go to the 21916.

I checked out the Energy Cookie 2.0 (CHT) 29007 ROM and I shows I only have 32MB of memory available out of 187MB. The SenseUI is not entirely stable and it freezes or crashes if I try to interact with it for e-mail or finish a phone call. Also, the phone enables the security lock due to timeout even if I am using Google Maps while it is running with a route to a destination, super annoying.

I guess it's time to redo my phone for the 3rd time and this time avoid any distros with eye-candy like Cookie (CHT).

Frak! Why can't there be one good, stable, usable distro ROM that is recommended above all others so I don't feel like I'm alpha testing a 3-year old phone at this point!

Give LEAD ROM a try. Looks like stock Sprint, but runs much better. No eye candy or fluff. Overclocked it's real snappy. Get SKTools to recover RAM and cleanup temp files and such.

hmmm. Could actually be a problem with your micro SD storage card. Either try another (preferably class 4 or better) storage card or save the stuff you need most on yours, format it and copy what you want back to it.

IMHO, my TP2 is one of the best I've owned.

BTW, I'm running NRG 29007 CHT 2.0 and its running great. No SOD's and battery life is exceptional. I'm also overclocked to 748.

Give the SD card suggestion a try and see if it helps.

Also try not to keep every single text or email. I had 50 MB of attachments a few months ago that caused the phone to get slow and buggy.

Agreed.

It seems like whenever I get over 100 texts, Sense seems to slow down quite a bit. Not only do I delete any unnecessary texts but I empty the deleted texts as well just a s a good measure. Seems like things run quite nicely whenever I do that.

OP, are you flashing back to a shipped ROM or using Task29 between flashes? Data is somehow left over when flashing multiple custom ROMs and can cause your phone to reset itself.

Yes, always do that. Otherwise everything you delete is still in the phone.
