I have 6.1 flashed. I love the phone, however a few things are bothering me. I'm sure there are quick fixes for the problems.
1. Whenever I receive a message, it takes quite a bit for it to show up on my homescreen. I see the phone light up and maybe 10 seconds later the message shows.
2. When in an SMS Conversation, pressing the back button doesn't take me back to the main SMS screen. It does nothing. I have to press the home button in order to get out of the conversation.
3. After going to the homescreen from a conversation, the last message read still shows up as a new SMS on the homescreen. I have to actually go back to the conversation in order to get rid of the notification.
4. The bottom key on the JOGGR bar is too easy to press. The way I prefer to hold my phone, part of my hand is almost always near that button. Therefore, I'm constantly being taken to Messaging.
5. My Skyfire CAb repeatedly gives me the error message "installation was unsuccessful." I've tried re-downloading it numerous times.

when i'm in a text message with the keyboard closed and i decide to reply to the message and open the keyboard, the message screen rotates and the dial screen appears. no matter what i do this happens. is there a fix 4 this?
never happened on mine before.
The screen rotation is intentional. Perhaps you're accidentally hitting the "call" button when you extend the keyboard? I tend to hit the volume control myself - that, or I end up pressing the screen somewhere.
Seems to work
shasarak i think your advice worked. I found a new way to open and close plus i reset. Now i just need to find a solution to the spontaneous and occasional shut down.
Realized that the shut down happens when i close the screen over the keyboard to hard. another little surprise.
Maybe it's just me but I would like to go to my home screen when I end a call instead of back to the dialer/phone. I searched but couldn't find anything on that.
Anyone know how to do this or care to figure it out?
This is too easy....press the hardware End key?
You may want to elaborate if this isn't what you're after...

I take it you're like me and you spam the end key about 5 times at the end of a call?

Ok now I feel stupid. Thanks though, I would probably never have thought of that on my own.
Is it possible to get the onscreen end key to do the same?
I made a post with a similar problem a while back and had no replies to fix it.
The contents are as follows:
Tilt2, End call, looking at contacts! Why?
Tilt2: If i get a call and hit the end call button, why am i left looking at my contacts. It ONLY happens on incoming calls. If i end call on a call i made, from within my contacts, it goes back to the main screen!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574970
My problem is that i use spb mobile shell and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Ok I don't feel so stupid. Hardware key does the exact same thing as soft key. Phone isn't fast enough to hit it twice in succesion and lock the screen in one fluid motion so I go back to my original request.
Anyone know how to get it to go from end call (soft or hard butotn) directly to home screen instead of to the dialer?

Not sure if it has anythign to do with it or not, but might it have something to do with the phone asking if you want to add them to your contacts and maybe you are inadvertantly hitting somethign sending you to your contacts?
I've not had any issue with it pulling up my contacts unless I accidently hit something.
Whoops, should read:

Im am positive i am not hitting anything on the screen because sometimes i hit the talk and speaker phone, then use the end call button. We have 2 of these and both do the same thing. It only happens if the phone was locked to start with. If the phone is not locked (figured this out playing them), once i end the call, the contacts screen will go away in 10 seconds or so.

Try this. Hit the End key and then the Back key in quick succession. This will bring you to your last opened window. If you didn't have any active windows, this will bring you back to your home screen.

hi,
since i've put the brand new latest ROM from htc.com on my htc touch pro 2... text messaging is a real issue...
the problem is:
i get a text, so i press the "text" icon in the bottom menu.
it shows the last one i allready read... so i have to move up by stroking the screen with my finger.
i get to see the new message.
when i press "reply" in the menu, i automaticly open the keyboard (it's a habbit).
first i have to wait till the screen tilted and the phone is done thinking.
then i just type and press "send".
i close the keyboard and have to wait for several seconds before the screen changes from landscape mode to portrait mode.
after waiting for a while i press the "home" button, and again i'm waiting for several seconds before i get to see my home screen.
my phone acts as if i'm trying to run windows 7 on a 386 dx4 that's over 15 years old (if you know what i mean).
it's really annoying because it takes me very long to read, type and send a message.
what i would like to change:
open with the newly recieved text message.
quicker response when i press "reply".
quicker response when i close the keyboard.
quicker close of the "message program".
no stalling at all....
any ideas?
nobody has a cleu?

Hey for quicker response when closing the message program, instead of closing the program with the "X", try using the Arrow hardware button instead. It doesnt work all the time for me, but most of the time the phone doesnt freeze as it used to when i would press "X".
Go to your messages>all messages>menu>tools.sorty by and select "received"
see if that helps. As for the lag, I don't know how many processes you are running but you may want to give "HTC Clean Ram" a shot. I run it once every couple of days and on average it clears up around 20 mbs of memory. BsB tweaks is another option since there are couple of options there to enhance performance.
When I miss a call and look at it by tapping the missed call notification and then on the missed call tab to view all missed calls, to exit by either the hardware back arrow button or the 'soft' back button, I have to press it twice. Actually, If I press the end call/home key, it exits first time. It's an annoyance more than anything.
Doesn't do this if i go into the dialer and then call history. Anyone else suffer with this?
I too have noticed differences in behaviour on the call screen (missed or otherwise) depending on the path you take to access it. Just one of those annoyances that I believe is programmed in. I have always had issues with the "consistancy" of menu choices throughout the phone. Not just in this area. But... having said that... I still think it's the best phone out there right now. I've learned to deal with the inconsistancies. They are not real bugs, just annoyances. I have the VZW TP2 on VZW with factory upgrade to 6.5 (which I'm happy with).

yeap. same here. My "end" key does not "end" all programs depending on how I access them. To exit my texting page I have to press the "back" soft key and then the back arrow key. I remember when my "end" key would simply end whatever screen I was on.
Still having this issue and I cannot figure it out. Definitely not a hardware issue. Any help would be much appreciated!
Hey there
Had the phone since release
Started with this problem yesterday. It's random, the notification bar pulls down and pulls back up within a second. Sometimes it doesn't release, I have to press power button to enable me to use the phone.
I switched on "show taps" in developer options, and it appears to be a screen press from the top centre of the phone. Only from there.
I've tried replacing the screen protector, tried cleaning the phone, power cycles... I've not tried a factory reset at this point, would need to back everything up.
On 8.1
I'm at my wits end
Thanks in advance
Do you have a case installed? Sometimes phone cases trigger phantom touches on the display.
I do, since day one.
Took it off and still get same problem
I'd use a screen capture app to show the phantom touches that's keeping you from releasing the notification bar and contact Support at this point. But yeah, you should begin backing up your data.
try to use the developer menu -> show touches and see if it's software or hardware related
....actually i have been getting random, backspaces key presses.....i am typing away, and than I will sense the "phantom" key press the backspace, and look as my message get completely deleted. Never happened before, same case/same screen protector from DAY1....I just restart my phone, but still wear. happened twice since OREO update
Boot into safe mode and then turn off and start up.
Fixed my menu bar issues.
