Guest jsco Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 I have other reports of random lock ups too. I have yet to pinpoint it to a single cause though. I'm still trying to figure it out. I flashed the ms3.bin too...wonder if the others flashed that version as well.
Guest jsco Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 I'm trying to figure this issue out. It does not happen to me at all, even with my added programs. If you can get something that produces this consistantly I would appreciate knowing the steps you made to make it lock up like this. BW - In my case, and it seems as in the case of others, if it's allowed to shut the screen off, that's when it goes into it's coma. I have my phone set up to keep the screen on and elinimates the issue with it going into lala land, but it does chew up the battery power when I do this. The weird thing is that if I have it plugged into the charger, I can turn the screen off all for a long period of time and turn it back on a few hours later without any issues. If it's not plugged in, within 20 minutes, it's dead and a soft reset is required (again, the on/off button does not respond). It did this without any other programs installed. Wonder if others with this issue can respond with the version that they flashed - ms3?? If others can take step to see if their phones behave the same as mine, it might bring things closer to resolution but no one has stated that yes, their's is doing the identical thing. Until we can determine that, no resolution can be found because it sounds like others are having similar but not identical problems. So anyone having this issue, please say yes/no...that your problem is identical.
Guest utahav8r Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 BW, Of all the cooked ROM's out there, I have to say I'm addicted to yours. It's the most straightforward well put together... GREAT WORK! (and seriously, DO you ever sleep?) One quick question when you get a second. I am using 1.3 and installed Pocket Informant PIM for my calendar. It won't display any recurring events, although they still appear in my "today" screen on Neo Titanium. Would this have anything to do with the ROM, or is it strictly a Pocket Informant software issue? (because they have no idea why it's not displaying). THANKS AGAIN!
Guest DeepBlueEditor Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 One more little thing... When I hit the Titanium Options button under the Utilities folder, it gives me the same menu as the Titanium Weather button. Should that be some other settings menu for Titanium optional tweaks? This Titanium and 6.5 thing is pretty new to me. I love the look and customizations and was just wondering. OK, one more... If I go into Utilities and select the Chrome Editor, I can rearrange things all day long but the order on the task bar on the Today screen doesn't change. Is that for another home screen maybe? Using the basic Windows Default Today screen with "cook" theme. OK, promise, last one. The "Today" button takes me to the home "Today" screen but the same icon under settings takes me directly to the Today Screen settings. Was this an oversight or intentional? Sorry for all the questions but I want to help debug possible issues is all. I want to help make it better and better. It's damn good now mind you but I want to help in any way I can. S
Guest ¬_¬ Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 I have other reports of random lock ups too. I have yet to pinpoint it to a single cause though. I'm still trying to figure it out. Is it an issue i should be worried about with my phone? Also i'd like to mention that I literally did not install anything else onto that phone except your ROM's and used PIMBackup to import my contacts.
Guest ugzz Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Theres only one thing that you can't do in the 6.5 that you could do in 6.1 that ive run across. that is highlight text that some one sends you in text messages and emails. You can highlight text you typing but not something that some one sent you you have to highlight the message you want to copy from, you will know its highlighted becasue the white background will turn slightly sky blue, then press and hold somewhere within the message until a popup appears. you can then choose "make selection"
Guest jsco Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Is it an issue i should be worried about with my phone? Also i'd like to mention that I literally did not install anything else onto that phone except your ROM's and used PIMBackup to import my contacts. Would you try plugging in to charger and see if it happens while charging (it never has for me) and then try keeping the screen "on" and see if it happens then (it never has for me). This is the only thing that's happened with my phone since flashing to ms3 1.4V other than a small clock "freeze" on reset. But if everyone has different symptoms, it will be impossible to track down. Please try these things and let us know the outcome. Also, I am now tracking to see if there is a specific amount of time that it completely shuts down. If you can pinpoint that as well, it might be helpful.
Guest ugzz Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 (edited) since google maps doesnt install or launch on your build, what do you recommend as a decent gps locator and navigator? now that i have a firmware that unlocks my gps i really want to use it. its part of the reason i bought the phone back in January (not knowing it was locked out) i realy like your build, but google maps was my boy, and its kinda a deal breaker :D.. but if i can find something as good or better, im lovin yer rom ---- edit. I also noticed that after i tried to install the google maps cab and it crashed during install, the phone just locks up every 10-20 min now. screen black and nothing will wake it up or turn it on. have to pul the bat. But prior to that ive been running fine all day Edited August 20, 2009 by ugzz

This Titanium and 6.5 thing is pretty new to me. I love the look and customizations and was just wondering. If I may speak until BW has a chance to confirm, I believe settings for both are on the same screen, its been this was since BW's R&R ROMs OK, one more... If I go into Utilities and select the Chrome Editor, I can rearrange things all day long but the order on the task bar on the Today screen doesn't change. Is that for another home screen maybe? Using the basic Windows Default Today screen with "cook" theme. I had the same issue. You have rearrange the menu, click save to registy, WAIT ABOUT 20 SECONDS to give time for settings to stick, then click the exit button which launches a "Today" screen refresh utility. OK, promise, last one. The "Today" button takes me to the home "Today" screen but the same icon under settings takes me directly to the Today Screen settings. Was this an oversight or intentional? This is intentional and I've faced situations where I've used both. One takes you 'home', the other is the settings for it. Using the same icon helps identify what the settings are for, but I guess you're looking for the two to be differentiated with a "settings gear" on the house image
Guest jagnfly Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 since google maps doesnt install or launch on your build... I am currently on Night 1.4 and have google maps installed and have installed and used google maps on every version up to now including the 23028 Beta. I have not installed or tested MS3_1.4 or MS3_1.3, but did on previous MS3 versions.

Would this have anything to do with the ROM, or is it strictly a Pocket Informant software issue? (because they have no idea why it's not displaying). THANKS AGAIN! The non-displaying of recurring events is a known bug with WM 6.5. Currently I have only heard of ThumbCal working correctly. Informant, Calendar Touch and most of the others don't have it working yet. They seem to be waiting for the final version of 6.5 to address the issue.
Guest blazingwolf Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 Have you tried to go to the full keyboard and select "Menu" at the top and selection options? Unfortunately there is a bug and that does not work either.
Guest blazingwolf Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 yeah i got the today screen, but i want to actually CLOSE it, if thats possible. im just annoyed how it pops up after everything, every time i close a box or a setting or anythign i go back to the shell.. (Actually i think the real solution is that some of the spb stuff bugs me and i might just switch to your "Night" build. yes im using MS3V1.4. and i messed around with opera more, and when i save files if i use the touch screen to select the save location, sometimes the drop down box will freeze up, and stay there forever. even if i close opera. i can see the drop down box and the items within it on every screen, the shell, the file explorer, programs etc. always just on the screen like a frozen box. if i use the touch sensative arrow pad, then i have no problems. -also it doesnt happen consistantly, just on the occasion when choosing where to save files. MS3 is the new today screen. It will always go back to the MS3 screen when you close ot of programs. That is as designed by Spb. If you do not like MS3 then I suggest you flash to the Neo ROM. :D I will see if I can reproduce this.
Guest blazingwolf Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 :D Hey blazing wolf Loving the ms3 rom so much much better the running shell on 6.1. Theres only one thing that you can't do in the 6.5 that you could do in 6.1 that ive run across. that is highlight text that some one sends you in text messages and emails. You can highlight text you typing but not something that some one sent you. Maybe you can and I just dont know how to. If you can let me know if im going something wrong. Please follow the instructions that ugzz posted.

I have run both ROMs for days and shut the phone off in every way with no reproduction of this issue.

Thank you for the kind words. :D I remember reading that Pocket Informant had issues with showing reoccurring appointments when installed to 6.5. If they say hay have fixed it then perhaps you don't have the correct version?

S Hmm, I never paid attention to the fact it opened the same thing. I will remove one since we don't need both. Thanks. For CHome Editor, notice there is no r in the name :D, you will need to save the changes and tap on the exit button and not OK. If you tap the exit button it will cause CHome Refresh to run and make your changes. They are two different icons. One has a gear in it which means it is taking you to the settings. The other does not and will take you to the today screen. Also, note the different locations of the icons.

Try not restoring the contacts with PIMBackup and see what happens. No need to reflash just do a hard reset.

Guest blazingwolf Posted August 20, 2009 Report Posted August 20, 2009 I had the same issue. You have rearrange the menu, click save to registy, WAIT ABOUT 20 SECONDS to give time for settings to stick, then click the exit button which launches a "Today" screen refresh utility. As far as I know you do not need to wait 20 seconds. You should only have to wait for the popup if you moved or enabled a panel. Then hit exit. It will do the rest on its own.
Guest paribr Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 First I would like to say that you are building great ROMS, I always come back to your builds. How do you set the height of the menu and list items in the new 6.5.1 os builds? BGill stated that the way oversized height was to make it finger friendly and there was nothing the cooks could do to change that but your latest build has the same sizing as your 6.5 builds. I only wish you left Remote Desktop in since I can't get a CAB for it to work on any distibution.

I only wish you left Remote Desktop in since I can't get a CAB for it to work on any distibution. My 1.4 builds are based on the older style of 6.5. The new build beta is in post #3. It has the larger items you are talking about.
Guest RafiPZ Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Awesome work, what is the colorful stripe on the top for though?
Guest gadgetguy08 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 Awesome work, what is the colorful stripe on the top for though? That is Batti, the battery charge indicator. Purple means it is charging.
Guest DeepBlueEditor Posted August 21, 2009 Report Posted August 21, 2009 That is Batti, the battery charge indicator. Purple means it is charging. And if you check the "Batti" settings yuo can alter it's width and color scheme etc. I sort of like it, sort of.
