Why Task Manager was not working with danish update: M$ bug

[Guest jacoch]

I finally succeeded in having the bug on my phone (full reset, danish update and decert using Modaco method). I spent half the day to find why task manager was freezing at startup. Last night, I supposed it was a question of rights, because when I removed the some functions, Task Man was working. Unfortunately, it was just an hazard(? not sure in english).

I finally found that the problem comes from the GetWindowText function. This function returns the name of an opened window, used to display the app list. This function was working well for all the opened window, except one. I finally found that the MMSSvc.exe app was freezing the function. If I remove this app from the StartUp folder, Task Manager works fine. The problem seems not to occur before danish update (have not verified). I can then suppose that it's a new bug introduced by M$ :lol:

I will start now with beta 4, that will implement a work-around ;) . Thanks to all poeple that helped me last few days.

I've just done the UK update, and i'd swear MMSSvc wasn't in my startup folder before I updated. Anyone else noticed this?

Isn't MMSSvc to do with MMS? In which case it would be EZOS' software. Whatever, it might be worth sending WM_GETTEXT using SendMessageTimeout (if it exists for CE) instead of calling GetWindowText. This should allow you to get round programs that have a problem with this (or are sitting there in the middle of a lengthy operation when the call to GetWindowText comes in)
