Looks like you will have to do a hard reset i'm afraid, when i installed the 'MP3 Set As Rings Patch' it totally screwed up my display as well!

Thanks PadLad! EDIT..
Thanks so much PadLad!
Ahhh so it's the MP3 patch, done the hard-reset, restoring old back-up from a few dayas back thank god, made sure Regional Settings are correct!, and will only apply the Unidirectional-Patch, and NOT the MP3 patch.
CORRECTION EDIT: The Unidirectional Patch ALSO screws the screen up :/ restoring backup x2..
QUESTION: Is there any otherway to resolve the Speaker Cutting Out the Audio when I get a call, this is a major bug for me??
OFF Topic to Padlad: & thanks for an excellently made Headphone lead! and it has a built in Mic! amazing soldering work sir! the sound quality is excellent,
I tip my hat to you! and will order a two-lead version asap!
with Mic-In and Headphone-Out.
For the ultimate headphone/Line Out & Mic/Line-In leads, PM Padlad!
from a very satisfied customer 6.61p deliverd recorded!
sorry for the unashamed advert.. ok.. i'm not sorry..

Diamond sound issues, firmware upgrade?

Hello!
I bought a Diamond for a few weeks ago, unfortunately it's not working very well. Suddenly at random the audio disappears, often when a USB cable is connected. The two solutions i've found is to listen to an mp3 song in wmp for more than 5 seconds, then the audio will pop and scratch and then work again. That works 2 out of 3 times, and the other times i have to do a soft reset. I upgraded the rom to 1.93.413.3 SVE (that is the swedish version), radio is 1.00.25.05, SPL-1.93.0000. I contacted HTC and after explaining that i've done a firmware upgrade, they told me that it is a hardware issue. I contacted my retailer, but they've taken over a month without any response. So my question now is, have anyone had any issues like this? Should i try other firmwares? Radio? If i do, can i easily restore everything back so that i can leave it for repair without them noticing? Is it a bad idea? If i brick it, i guess i'm screwed..
I know some of these questions are answered here, but i couldnt find anything about my sound issue, except some SMS sound issues, that is not the same problem i am experiencing though.. Also, if someone calls me when i have no sound, neither me or the one i am talking to can hear anything.
Thanks in regards

sounds like a Hardware issue, do anything you can to get in contact with the Vendor, Phone calls, emails anything.
try the attached driver + sound parameters.
taken from ATT_RAPHAEL_1.94.19971 ROM
It seems this driver handle 2 new audio setting files that were not present in the diamond:
FilterFile and PreProcessFilterFile
It is a new sound driver tested on my Diamond and working fine, less glitches, better sound but doesn't change the poor hardware HP unfortunatly.

Hi TekTonik,
I have tried these drivers on my Diamond but it crashes whenever a sound plays. I copied the contents of the OperatorPKG folder to \Windows then replaced the wavedev.dll. I also added the new keys into the registry (FilterFile, PreProcessFilterFile and AcousticFile).
Are you using a cooked ROM with these drivers or did you update them manually? If so, any ideas what I am missing and also which ROM/Radio are using?
Would it be possible to post your registry settings for HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev please?
The reason why I am trying these drivers is in a hope to fix the infamous sound lag which you can read about here:

Hi.
I am also having the same problem. bought a new set, but there is no sound in standby after about 10 minutes. whatever i do, the music player, screen taps, sound settings - still there's no sound.
the only solution is a soft reset - but that too, works for ten minutes, and then again the unit goes deaf n dumb.
Have tried the thread above (to remove the lag), but still, no improvement.
is there a solution to this problem? can anybody guide me? please?

I have exactly the same issue on my SonyEricsson Xperia X1. I really wonder if that's a hardware issue. What I also figured out: When you do the WM Player workaround have a look at the reception indicator. When the sound comes back my reception is lost for a short time. It seems to me the phone module performs a reset.
No Sound on Diamond
I have the exact same problem, and also in my case it only comes back after playing a music file for more than 5 seconds. Has anyone found a solution yet?
I also have the exact problem above on my diamond. Actually, I feel HTC is really not responsible for their product. Their diamond has been released more than 3 months, till now, still no positive feedback to this.
I AM REALLY DISAPPOINTED ABOUT THEIR ATTITUDE. IF I CAN CHOOSE AGAIN, I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING ELSE FROM HTC.
I also got this problem
Hope someone can find out whats doing it, i doubt its a hardware issue
mee to
sadly it also happend to me, but I think it happend when the batery y less that a 50 %
I don't understand htc spirit : make a phone with an awfull HP sound !!! what did they do with theyr diamond ? playing chess ? or phoning , really a shame !

Touch Pro2 -The Good, the Bad and the Niggly

So far on the first day:
GOOD:
+It's shiny,shiny new!
+Screen -bright, responsive
+Keyboard -easy to use, and nice to have one back after a spell with a Cruise
+Touch Flo -really improved IMHO, fast and easy to use
+Very easy to set up
+Shape/form factor/weight very suitable for me
BAD:
-No FM radio -*****NOW FIXED! with many thanks to adolfotregosa
-TV out means that -not RGB signal out, which I use on an Athena* to work on PCs remotely via RDP and a 17" monitor. So I should have read the fine print as availalbe cable only supports video.
NIGGLY:
Weather tab resets to another city
Soft reset requires cover removal.
OTHER:
While it's a nice neat aero-dynamic shape I wonder how many hinge problems there will be
*on the Athena I used the TV out cable to plug in a full USB PC keyboard and PC monitor with a Bluetooth mouse which gave me close to a desktop experience when working remotely in clients' offices and managing my own hardware back at the ranch
I've seen a vid where they did use RGB on a TV

I still don't understand how this was an issue. I am making a YouTube video about this. My friend ordered his Touch Pro 2 FROM EUROPE and had it shipped to the USA and he still got FM RADIO!!
He did not have to install a cab or anything. Maybe this was a manufacturing fluke? It comes WITH FM RADIO built in.
The missing radio might be a rights issue in some countries.

Minor gripes with Telstra TP2.. suggestions welcome!
We have had Touch Pro 2 with Telstra for a bit over a week now and have a few minor gripes.
What happened to the Flash for the camera... missing..
Also FM Radio - but doesnt work with Bluetooth headphones - requires HTC wired headphones to work! Seriously!
How can I make the battery indicator appear easily? I want it on every screen if possible!!
Programs-- All programs.. How can i skip the Programs (which are annoyingly preset with non-customisable icons such as Whereis etc) and go straight to All Programs.
On the plus side - this phone has an awesome battery life.. much more impressive than my Tytn II.. however it does seem to end every single running program when you click out, whether you like it - or not.. saves batteries but wastes so much time having to retrieve them.

I believe the HTC wired headphones are needed because the wire acts as an FM antenna lead.

excuse me, for soft reset no need to remove the cover, I use this since I had the Kaiser http://www.mediafire.com/?nme2pgmzjxh it's called tastoreset.cab you must install and then everything is ok

I love my TP2, had it for a month now and I have to say no flash or light with the camera is most probably my biggest disappointment with the device. Unless you have a LOT of light, the picture exposure is really bad, almost useless.
Bad call from HTC.

I think what Tomo is trying to say is that if your device hangs and the OS/software is unresponsive, then you have to remove the stylus then the cover to soft reset. Historically on HTC devices, you could just poke the stylus into the reset hole at the bottom and away you go. It's an annoyance, that's for sure, and another strange design decision.
Of course if your device is responsive, you don't even need to load software as you suggest - just hold the power button down to power off then power back on (essentially a soft reset)

Yes you are right... unfortunately my English isn't very sliding... I haven't understood the question but I use that cab often, ussually when the device slows its function
Got mine today here my good and bad on its 1st day
Good
Clear & bright screen
Touchflo 3D2 is fast/great
keyboard is superb
call quality is great
slide out keyboard is good (not tilting)
Bad
wobbling screen ( might send it back for replacement )
No flash
No 3.5mm jack
should include Tv-out cable in the package
Its a very nice phone... i cant wait to add a lil bit more good stuff on it!.
stepping outside symbian is not bad at all...winmo is nice while waiting for their symbian foundation OS.
Can't you drill a little hole in the back cover for the soft-reset button?
This is interesting.
from TMOUS TP2 manual.
13.7 Resetting Your Device
Performing a soft reset
Perform a soft (normal) reset to clear all active program memory and shut down all active programs. This is useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work is lost.
To perform a soft reset
Use the stylus tip to press the RESET button at the right panel of your device.
Your device restarts and displays the Home screen.

Working SRS WOW HD for TP2..?

Hi All
I have used SRS WOW for my Dopod 838Pro for years and loved it.
This is the one enhancement that is a must have for enjoying your music on some decent headphones - way better than HTC's native Audio Booster.
I have messed with the assortment of readily available cab variations (1.2.1, 1.5.1, the arm panel etc), reg hacks to fix the driver issue, resets etc. all for the last few days but cannot get it to run successfully on my TP2.
The issues are:
The 1.2.1 version will install, you can apply the flag reg hack (which works), reset, plug in your headphones and tweak away - great, it works!
The problem is that the TP2 will go into its screen-off sleep mode and just not wake up. You need to remove the battery for it to run again but the same thing happens - bugger!
I have also had the conflict issue with MS Voice Command not being able to start. BTW, Voice Command on TP2 is great!
So, i was wondering if anyone has it or (them both preferably) working successfully on their TP2?
I would really like this to be available for all users as it is really such a great addition to your phone.
Any input greatly appreciated (really want this)....
Cheers to all
Jabberoo
I do apologise if this is bad, but i am gonna bump this to keep it going.
I feel that an answer/solution by someone here with great skills would benefit so many of us as this is a very good little addition to the TP2.
Anyone...?
Cheers
Jabbero
Hi All
Still really interested in getting this sorted.
I have tried virtually all available WOW types listed on this site (and elsewhere) with no luck.
I tried one called called "dsixda SRS WOW English.cab" (repacked from a Chineses ROM), this actually ran for a whole day and was really promising, but then my device eventually stayed in sleep mode (like all the others) - sigh. It too caused a conflict with MS Voice Command.
So back to square one - Buger, bugger, [email protected]
Really want these 2 to work as they are a most valuable addition to a good device.
Can anyone put their genius to sorting these out for us all...?
Cheers
Jabberoo
iirc wow hd conflicts with htc audio booster. Will work flawlessly, but you will need to turn off touch flo..........
i did this on my diamond and used SPB shell instead............... Only solution i know of, sorry.
Thx Charms
I see. I was hoping there would be a way to get this happening, by way of someone's insightful genius, as it is a very worthwhile inclusion for our devices.
It's funny that, for me at least, having good sound through headphones is a key element of having this device and it is the one thing that seems underserved in general. HTC's equalizer really pales in comparison to this little cab. Equalisation of sound just doesn't do the same thing...
Maybe that is a cue for a project, disect the SRS app and make one that doesn't share its downsides...??
Cheers to all

It´s a shame....:-(
It so happened that I installed the SRS WOW HD version 1.5.1.0 yesterday and it's been working like a charm - even the sms notification sounded better than before!
installed SRS WOW and it worked but it caused A LOT of problems
one, i played using the Sense player and i couldnt lower the volume although the meter was showing it was on silent the music was still blairing on my headphones
i unplugged it and plugged it back in and it works, another problem occurs, most of my music wont play anymore :/
gave up on it and i just fiddled with audio booster and got the best setting out of it.....

Which version did you install? I had a problem with SOD from an old version some time ago and had to uninstall it - just seen a new version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584626
Haven't tried it yet, but some posts on that thread state works with TP2.
I just tried installing version 2.1 that was posted on the first post of that thread on my unbranded TP2, with Sense 2.1 and Winmo 6.5. Unfortunately, I got a standby of death within 2 hours of installing it. Hope this SOD thing gets resolved eventually.

Yes, installed it myself today and had SOD before I even had chance to use it! I installed it and soft reset as instructed but then was at work and when checked my phone for email... SOD! Thought it was maybe because I had it charging off a PC without Activesync installed, reset and after checking it had rebooted, I went to lunch and it had SOD'd again on my return. Rebooted, uninstalled SRS WOW and soft reset and no SOD all afternoon.
Running latest stock 6.5 WWE ROM with Sense 2.5.
yeah, i hope the wake up gets fix...i would like to use this app....
Wow..thats all I can say. Wow because it actually produced great results and wow because it caused my phone to sleep every time the backlight went out. Uninstalled and no problem since. I was ready to take my phone back.
Seems even not necessary to uninstall, SOD went away by just un-clicking enable SRS tic box, I couldn't figure out how to un-install WOW HD anyway
Got the SOD myself using it. Took it off & everything was fine, but I task 29'd & reflashed my ROM. Wasn't taking no chances.....
Hi,
I'm struggling with the Sleep Of Death issue as well (WM 6.5.5 and SRS WOW HD 2.1). I've even found a fix for Omnia which involved a registry edit that - I'm guessing here - told the device not to hold devices "wav1" and "wav8" when going to sleep mode, but, apparently, what works for Omnia, doesn't help at all for Touch Pro 2.
Anyone who will make SRS WOW HD working on my TP without the SOD will be my hero. Any help?
i want to say this app allows me to listen to the radio while in the shower its that loud!!
when i get out the shower i cant turn my phone back on aggghhh!!!
please a fix???????

Sounds Stop Working

Searched in several forums but could not find anything, so apologies in advance if I missed it and please post the link.
Intermittently the sounds quit working for all alarms, events, phone, etc... I go into Sounds & Notifications to test and again, no sound. Soft reset corrects the issue, but it will come back again.
No extra media players installed, only the standard from the orignal ROM. I have Lotus Traveler installed which adds a sound event. On another PDA (Touch HD) I have BB Connect installed and it displays the same problem.
FWIW I have also seen this behavior on Kaisers and Touch HDs.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or, even better, a solution.
Sorry I can't help but I've had a similar problem. The slider sound doesn't work! Even after reset! Try changing it and still nothing! The rest of the sounds still works but they seems much quieter than normal! I don't think I've installed anything dodgy! Just seemed to happen! Any help would be great!
Thanks
same issue found in my Diamond as well. Maybe it's an issue in WinMo 6.1 in general
Actually, none of the sounds work! Just makes a noise when you change the volume! Soft reset still doesn't help!
Does anyone know what I could try please?
I have the same problem with my Touch Pro2. Sometimes suddenly the volume goes way down even though it shows its at its max. The volume is really soft and you cant hear much.
Also when I receive certain notifications I hear a small click which is proberly the first 0.01s of the notification sound it tries to play.
Count me in.....same here. Wonder, if it´s a hardware issue or a driver problem.....
Hoping for an official WM6.5 ROM soon...
Thanks for the feedback. I can tell you that this happens with AT&T Tilt running stock ROMs/WM6 too.
I am still searching for an answer and if I find one I will post it.

[Q] Colored snow, screen distortion, earphone speaker not working on Tilt2

Hey everyone,
I'm currently running the latest Jackos and I believe everyone was fine with the speaker you hold to your ear in conversation until about 2 weeks ago. Maybe a week or so after I installed the newest Jackos. Now I can't hear anything on it, but the microphone works fine. Speakerphone works fine, and my bluetooth earpiece works fine. I've searched for help on this and can't find anything to fix this problem.
The other problem is right when I boot the phone, instead of getting the black screen with the red diagnostic text, I get a white screen with colored speckles all over the screen. The speckles don't move at all and if I let it sit for 20 seconds or so, it will then show the HTC logo on black and continue booting. I can't get into the bootloader, I can't hard reset the phone, etc. Any ideas how to fix this? I haven't tried flashing the same/another ROM yet, but I don't know if that's even possible with this snow screen problem.
I've run Task29 and all the usual stuff every time I've flashed and I have never seen this happen until a couple of weeks ago. It does it NEARLY every time I soft reset or shutdown and boot or pull the battery and boot. The battery charges fine and it runs fine otherwise.
The screen will get random glitches in it, even when the battery is full and it makes me suspect maybe the battery's going bad but it'll run all day without problems and it doesn't get warmer than usual or anything like that.
Also, sometimes it says there's no SIM inserted and I've pulled it out, the contacts are nice and gold and nothing seems wrong.
Any ideas?
My sig is out of date but I have to head out right now and can't switch it yet, but it's the latest Jackos with 6.5.
Thanks,
Eric
I would flash a different/stock ROM and see if anything changes.
If no, hardware problem. If yes, software problem .
You seem to think you cannot, but AFAIK if you can task29, you can flash a ROM. Either way, putting an nbh on the SD card and doing power+vol up+reset should work regardless, unless the device is really bricked - in which case it wouldn't be booting.
Okay thanks, I'll see what I can do with it.. It does boot fine, though for a week I thought it was bricked because of the snow, but I decided to just let it sit for a week and gave it a shot, and poof! no snow on the first boot. It had the regular red text on black. Then I reset it from the slide to reset menu item and it went to snow again. I let it sit there and about the duration that it would be on the diagnostic screen, it was snow, then magically showed me the HTC logo and booted normally.
So it seems to me that it somehow doesn't want to show diagnostic info but does everything else.. So maybe the bootloader mode IS working, I just can't view that. I'll see what I can do.
Does the screen corruption/no sound in earpiece seem like a ROM issue, or battery related, or phone going bad problem to you?
And I've been looking for a while trying to find a suitable replacement, but haven't seen anything that I really find appealing (either in Android or WP7).. Any thoughts on that?
Thanks again,
Eric

Flash stock, it re-flashes everything... Make sure it works, then flash back to Jacko's.

Talk about loaded questions! I haven't found anything that's appealing with a hardware keyboard yet... The supposed TP3 (on Sprint it's the "Arrive"...) was a real disappointment.
MT4GS looks decent, if you can live with tmo...
Thanks for your replies, I'm going to try to flash to stock in a little while and see how that goes.
The new Glide phone that AT&T has sounded promising until I read a review of it. Slow camera, 480x800 on a larger screen, etc. It didn't seem as cool as I had hoped it would be after that.
I'll write back with my progress or lack thereof with this TP2.

I installed HTC's official AT&T ROM and the screen corruption seems to be less extensive but looks different too. The snow at startup is still present though.
There was a radio that came with Jackos ROM, is there any chance that's to blame? Though it worked fine for a couple weeks before these weird screen things started happening.
I haven't tried making a voice call yet to test the earpiece/earphone/loudspeaker or whatever the proper name is for it but since nothing else is really 'fixed' I'm not sure it will work either.
Thanks,
Eric

The stock ROM should've come with a radio as well...
task29 & flash stock? Otherwise perhaps you have a hardware problem... I don't know what to make of this snow .
The earpiece/loudspeaker thing isn't fixed either. I'll try a Task29 tomorrow or tonight if I can't sleep (thinking about this stupid phone! ) and then flash this ROM again and see what happens and let you know.
Thanks again
