Phone will Freeze when i watch a movie though IE now its getting worse

Almost everynight for the last yr and a half I will use IE on my phone and navigate to winamp.orb so i can stream movies off my computer to my phone. This way theres very little light from the screen and my GF can sleep.

About 2 weeks ago all the sudden my phone froze up. The movie stopped playing, I tried to soft reset but it wouldnt. It was stuck on a frozen image. Another time I fell asleep only to wake up with my phone stuck on a frozen image from it happening again. It basically happens every night. It doesnt matter if the charger is plugged in or not.

I have been simply taking the battery out, waiting a few moments. Poppin the battery back in and turning it on. But tonight when i went to do that my phone wouldnt boot. It froze at the Green Windows mobile screen. I tried again and it Froze at the touch pro screen. Finally i got it to boot, i went to check my voice messages and it froze again!!

This phone isnt that old. Its a new replacment from one i took in the hottub with me. THis phone is not even Flashed, I have several apps on it. MAgicall, wmwifirouter, pdanet, music id, SMS Security, and a few games.

Please can anyone offer advice!!
I really dont want to hard reset it because entering all the numbers in SMS Security and magicall is going to take forever. But even worse then that, I will lose all my APPS, and I cant redownload them from here, brecause for some reason When I search for SMS Security, or any other app and try to view the Fourm, i get a Error Saying i dont have privlileges to view this section.

Which I dont understand I have been a member since 2008. So is there any other advice besides a Hard Reset? I cant think of one, but you guys know alot more then I do, so im asking the experts. Currently my phone finally is back on. But this problem will not go away on its own.
 
as far as the phone freezing, are u running a custom rom?......but without knowing that i would do a hard reset (make sure u back up your contacts) which will clear the phone back to factory settings, thats what i do when things get funky..sometimes u just need to clear it out, then i would install things one at a time and run the winamp program after each install to see if there is a conflict.....
 
I had the same problem a while back and I installed the SK tools located somewhere here
Code:

No I have a stock ROM.
AGH CRAP!! I cant get SK tools, I dont have permission to view it.

CYBER WEEsjE: I did see rule 10 when i went hunting around on here. But i thought maybe that was for new members. I figured since I was a member for over a Year I was okay. 33 Thanks and 60 something posts may not be alot after a Year, but thats only becase I try to post only when I think I can help. I try not to junk up the site. And most of the ADMINS on here are right on top of answers, or I simply dont know how to help.

So this sucks. I cant hard reset because I have no way to redownload all my apps till I hit 80 posts.
Im a idiot, I should of saved all my programs on my PC.

OH NO!!! I was about to Hard Reset, I remembered I had some CABS on my SD Card. So i could still reinstall some apps.. I took my card out to copy movies to it. Popped it back in my phone. My phone had a error saying it couldnt read my card. I popped it back in my PC.
my Sd CARD shows this }c֌§ÔÃƒÂ§Ã”yÆas its drive letter. And all my folders say Empty and have names with symbols like this aσc‚·Ãâ€Â¤Ãâ€â€.#+Ãâ€â€

Im TOTALLY F***ED arent I? There is no way to recover my SD card is there? What the hell. The hits just keep on commin

sounds like your card got corrupted and to get the 80 posts you can join in on the forum games and such...
 
DASH: Thank you man. I didnt want to reformat the card untill I knew for sure I was screwed. Now I might as well. And since my phone is having problems I might as well Unlock and Flash tonight too. (sigh)
I guess I will give the SsS ROM a shot. I pray my phone and my Card were the last of my problems tonight
 
with a hard reset did it solve the problem?.....i would still unlock and flash but i would do a hard reset first because if its the phone u will still have the stock rom on it and then after u hard reset if all is well then u can customize but i would still install one at a time, it sucks when u get it where u want it then something conflicts and u end up hard resetting again..............

you said it, but t doesnt revert us from going back and doing it all over again.... its an addiction i tell ya
 
Its been a week now. I tried the SsS ROM but had a prob with active sync (but i guess most do from what i read), tried the murda ROM and love it but when I went to stream movies from winamp.orb it was horrible lag. I thought it was the ROM, so I switched to the Mighty ROM and same problem. So i guess its not the ROM.

I dont understand why since my hard reset i cant stream movies anymore. Im connected to my Wifi and my speed test from winamp.orb.com is between 1400kbs and 1880kbs.

I donno if this matters but UDP TCP and HTTP are all checked in Windows Media, The Connection speed is set for Wi-Fi/Lan, UDP port is set to 0 and I have tried to check and uncheck "Detect connection speed". I've also set internet connnection speed down to 384kbs and 256kbs.

I know this is off topic for my phone freezing . BUt i didnt want to take up space making a new fourm topic. IF anyone has any advice on what else i can try i would love it. Right now im stuck loading up my sd card with movies i think i may watch and using core player. I miss having en entire selecton from my F Drive

give energy or nfsfans a shot....... and you might as well reformat your sdcard now (FAT 32). dont worry about the apps and games, you are almost there anyways (post count).....
 
Re Phone will Freeze when i watch a movie though IE now its getting worse

As soon as DASH said my card was toast for sure, i did a reformat. I was hopin to save pics and cabs i had on it. But since he said it was shot I went ahead and did the reformat. I unlocked my phone that night and tried 3 ROMS.

All of which had the LAg issue when streaming media. It doesnt make sense to me that it would be the ROM though. Especially the Mighty ROM. Its so clean and fast. Not even 1 issue. Most ROMS have 1 or 2 bugs.

I just went to winamp.orb.com as i was typing this post. Ran a speed test, it set my connection to 2003kbs Thats the fastest yet. I went to play a Show, and it is stopping every 3 seconds to rebuffer and just laggin bad.

Is there anything else you could suggest besides switching ROMS? I only say that because I found a ROM bug free, and spent 20min entering phone numbers by hand in SMS Security to block txts. I would really hate to go throgh all that again. And possibly switch ROMS only to one i may not like as much,

PS: Thank you guys for all your help so far
 
Re Phone will Freeze when i watch a movie though IE now its getting worse

I just switched to the New Energy ROM, (Photon)

I still ahve the same problem. When streaming the video is very choppy and it will stop and buffer several times. Its playing at 1629kbs as we speak and it looks clear but its choppy as hell.

I never had this problem with the stock ROM. But ever since I unlocked and Flashed Ive had it. With the SsS, Murda, Mighty and now Energy ROMS. I dont think its the ROM. But what could it be?
 
I've been having issues with Orb for some time now. I haven't had the time to look in depth , but my take is it's on Orb's side. If you are using WiFi at your home and trying to use your F Drive, which I do something similar. Just get the Network folder going. I use Resco Explorer and the option to have Network. Their's also a Net Plug In as well, but this is something I use already. What it does is give access, when you're at home to what's on your LAN/Home Network. I then Map my Various Folders (Movies/Pics/BackUp/Programs/etc) on my 1TB network drive. At that point I can just come home, turn my WiFi on and go to my F Drive and click on the movie I want to watch and then CorePlayer opens up and streams w/o issues. I know their are many other ways, but this has been pretty convenient and easy for me to work at home. Orb is great for on the run however, so you might want to do a little research on that and post back. I probably should do the same(been busy), but this setup will work faster for the house + give you access to all your drives at home and pull cabs, docs, or whatever you're needing of your drives at home.
 
FORTY: Thats exactly what I was doing. I Download all my movies to my F drive. And was using orb to access it. Its a 1TB drive plugged into my laptop.

I had no idea I could do what you just mentioned. From what I read it seems like you are using Resco Explorer to somehow access your PC. I was trying to figure it out. I see a Network Folder in Resco. But Im not sure how to Network it to my Laptop.

I also already have COrePlayer as well. This would def solve my problem. (I love this site).
Since you have Exp doing this FOrty. I gotta ask, how did you Network your phone to your PC?

Im Running Vista 32bit. The only thing ive ever done was use WindowMedia player to share files with my Xbox for streaming. But the Xbox does most of the work,

Im not sure how to use my phone to find my laptop. Network discovery is on, media sharing is on.
But im clueless as to what to do next. Thank you for reading this thread. and thank you for your help
 
Re Phone will Freeze when i watch a movie though IE now its getting worse

Instructions:

1) Turn WiFi On
2) In Resco Explorer, go to the Network Folder
3) Click on Menu
4) Click on File
5) Click on Network
6) Click on Map Drive
7) Then enter you remote path ie: \\Iomega-0A1D63\movies\
8) Click on Share
9) Click on Done, unless you want to modify anything
10) It will take you directly into that folder when complete
11) Click Up and start the whole process over again

Once you have mapped your drives. It's easy as going to the Network folder and opening one of the Mapped Drives(Folders) and it will take you directly there. Nice, clean and pretty easy.
Good Luck
 
Oh hell I would of never found that myself. I hit a small snag though.
I didnt have to type the path out. I simply clicked TEK-PC and the F drive.

Now in Resco in my Network folder I see a file called F on TEK-PC. When I open it I see 3 folders
Graboid <--- has all my movies
Maxtor Back up <--- Just a back up of my laptop
Xbox360 isos <----- All the Xbox games I've Downloaded

But when I open each folder nothing is in them. Inside Graboid should be a folder called Completed and inside that should be hundreds of folders all with movies in them.

I even tried to right click each sub folder and click "share" I clicked share on Graboid, share on Completed. And even clicked share on According to Jim. Which would be the final subfolder which had the TV show in it.

I just want to confirm... you did map them correct???
You also want to make sure you are sharing those drives on your laptop. If not, then it will prevent you from gaining access. Go to your laptop and right click on the drives you want to share and you should see the various options and then follow it's lead and give sharing capabilities of those drives or folders. Good Luck.

Also, the above instructions I gave were to be more specific, because I have a Network 1TB drive, so it's in my office with my router, printer, and all. It's actually plugged directly into my router, so my laptop has nothing attached to it. So, the above instruction were just in case you had to be exact :)
 
I just tried to click Map Drive, and this time I clicked TEK-PC and in the tree of Folders that was on the list I clicked Completed (since thats where all my movies are). But i noticed the path name when it changed only said \\TEK-PC\Completed
Shouldnt it be longer then this? Since the Completed folder is inside my F drive and then inside another folder called Graboid.

Anyway I got this error "Cannot map network path. Network resource cannot be found or you do not have a permission to access the network"

I was going to try and type the path out myself but I cant type it out any further then \\TEK-PC\iomega
if i try to add another \ after iomega it just makes a noise and erases the \
Im not even sure what the correct path would be if i typed it out myself, I would assume
\\TEK-PC\F\Graboid\Completed

But I dont think thats right. Because yours is \\Iomega-0A1D63\movies\

But it wont let me type another \ after F either. it seems like the path cant be any longer then \\TEK-PC\F
which doesnt make sense to me.
BTW FOrty. Thank you for all your help so far

Oh crap. LOL. You must have replied as I was typing out my reply.
Well that makes sense now why your path is only \\Iomega-0A1D63\movies\

And yes I right clicked every folder and set it to share. Password is Off

--------- New Post Merged on 15/10/2009 at 08:39:48 --------

Oh and to answer your question I didnt Map them at all. I simply clicked on the Folders that were showing up in Resco. and it would do the rest for me. but like i said in the post up top it doesnt seem right to me
Resco shows \\TEK-PC\Completed
when I think it should be \\TEK-PC\F\Graboid\Completed
But resco wont let it be that long

Based off what I'm seeing is correct:
\\TEK-PC\F\Graboid\Completed
My Laptop looks like this and I think it's case sensitive: \\Forty01-PC\c
From there I have full reign over my C Drive, but because my 1TB drive is networked I cannot do that, I have to map it directly to a folder.
You should be able to type more than what you're saying. I do it all the time. I don't think their is even a limitation on what you can type. you should be able to type the path and click share and finalize it after that. Let me know and GL :)

Just a reminder: Make sure your WiFi is on ;)
