Weird issue since the upgrade to WM6.5: When I lock my device, I can't unlock it any more.
I can slide the slider, (left or right doesn't matter), becomes white, but doesn't do anything.
The only way to get back in is to softreset the TP2
Am I the only one with this problem?
And does somebody have a solution?
Never happened to me and definitely not normal. Does it happen every time you lock the device? If so, then you may need to hard reset.
If not, it may be a bad app. But since you soft reset to access the device, you probably can't figure out what's the cause. Rather than soft reset, try pulling the stylus out to see if that unlocks it.
Tilt 2 Hard SPL difficulties
i have downloaded 2 hard SPL's in pursuit of flashing my tilt 2
1. RhodiumW-HardSPL_V1_10R3
2. Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3
don't know which one i'm supposed to use, but after downloading and installing the CAB which i was prompted to use by the latter of the two, i opened the SPL file and a message popped up on my phone saying that the program wasn't meant for my phone and would most likely brick my phone.
So, now i don't know what to do. Please advise
okay. tried using the V2_00R3 and after choosing to auto flash it brings up the next prompt telling you that all info will be deleted, but when it does this, the phone turns off. its been a while since i first put Hard SPL on my Kaiser and can't remember if that's normal. is it?
This happened to me when I first got my Tilt2. It was annoying as hell. I stopped locking my phone and just turned the screen off instead. About three days later, the problem went away and has not returned.
How's that for an answer to your problem? HA!

yes I have this weird issue as well and only started after i upgraded to WM6.5 ( I have a vodfone TP2 with Vodafone ROM upgrade). The slide to unlock button just sticks to the left or right and only a soft reset fixes it, until it locks again! i have had to change the lock mode to windows classic : start>setting>all setting> lock> display tab> select windows classic. would have loved to keep the default lock mode but its pointless reseting to unlock everytime!
Hi all,
I upgraded my Touch Pro 2 to WM6.5 from the official HTC update, and have been pretty happy with it up until last night.
I'd been using the phone off and on throughout the evening to surf the web, and everything was fine, and then just before bed I went to use it again, and when I tried to unlock it, it told me "The password you typed is incorrect".
I tried again, and the same message. I tried again VERY carefully, and STILL got the same message!
Now my password (pin really as it's numeric) is pretty simple, and I'm definitely typing it in correctly, but it's not working. After a trying a few more times using the qwerty keyboard rather than the on screen number pad, it told me to type in a1b2c3 as a lot of wrong passwords had been tried, and then a bit later it stopped displaying the message at all, and just did nothing when a password was entered.
I've popped the battery out, run the battery down to nothing over night, and still the same.
Searching online, I found this:
http://eten-users.eu/index.php?showtopic=9414
and am wondering if the WM6.5 ROM for the Touch Pro 2 has a similar problem. That said, I didn't have the battery out when it forgot my password...
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, otherwise it'll have to be a hard reset, which will be slightly irksome.
Thanks in advance,
James.
I forgot to mention that the phone is working fine when I receive incoming calls, but I obviously can't unlock it.
Have you considered that you had the caps lock (or symbol) lock on when you first entered your password. If you press Caps shift twice, it locks in upper case?
Yep - checked and double checked that. The main way to enter the pwd is via an on-screen number pad anyway, so I don't think that could be affected, but I did check.
Cheers for the thought though.
I think a hard reset is your only option.

how to do a har reset?
I had a similar issue, I had an Sprite Backup around that i wanted to go back, but by then I didn't have the screen lock feature, I did NOT turn it off before doing the restore, tried hard resetting the device but I'm assuming the security lock wouldn't let me do it either. So by the end i had to flash the rom again and then I ran the restore.
anyways good luck...
To perform a Touch Pro 2 hard reset
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons until you see this message on the screen.
HTC Touch Pro 2 Rhodium hard reset soft reset
2. Release the TALK/SEND, END and POWER buttons.
3. Press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset.
This just happened to me as well. Installed the MR2 (WM6.5) upgrade fresh on a handset, installed all my apps, had it working fine for a week. I've used the same password since the beginning, and this morning it simply won't let me in.
This is crazy, right? The phone just picks a different password for you? And I'm assuming there's no way Verizon can unlock it remotely.
If this is happening to other people, it's pretty unacceptable. Anyone else out there having this problem?
I believe WM is set to automatically hard reset if you enter the wrong PIN a certain number (7?) of times?
I've entered about 20 wrong passwords. It just keeps extending the delay before you can try again. Right now I'm at like 18 minutes. Looks like I'll be hard resetting.
Thanks, WM6.5! Really glad you locked my phone for me! Awesome!
I am experiencing the same problem. My CDMA TP2 (Sprint ROM wm6.5/Sense 2.5.2012) ran out of battery and the device turned off, so I put an new battery in and turned it on. It asked me for the password, but the device was not accepting my password regardless of typing it using the on screen keypad or the physical keypad. The device would not recognize my password, and I don't have any weird apps installed. This is obviously one of those Microsoft mistakes that they are too lazy to fix.
Microsoft: you lack ingenuity and don't issue regular and quick updates for your mobile devices, so I will never buy your wm7 phones. How about some customer loyalty: fix this problem and for the phone makers and carriers to issue and new ROM update?
This is not an uncommon problem. I read somewhere else that the installation of Swype might have something to do with it. Did you have that on your phone?

No I did not. I know of the Swype problem too when I installed it on my CDMA TP2 running on the latest official wm6.5 ROM. But this last time, I had never installed Swype, and I am only using Windows Default (Titanium). By the way, I am currently using the latest Sprint Lovers ROM on my TP2 when this problem occurred. Sprint Lovers ROM is a very good and stable ROM with wm6.5.x. I don't have any weird apps installed to cause it to happen.
Why did this happen?? I've had absolutly no problems before, using a customised rom and everything has been very smooth lately, until today, I used my GPS on the way to the beach, so the phone had 14% battery by the time I got there, I switched it off, about 5 hours ago, turned it on, and when I enter my normal screen PIN CODE **4 Digits** it wont work??? why??? i'm trying to reset the device now to like default rom or a different rom, but the problem is it wont connect via activesync unless I put the screen code in.... I am 100% sure i didnt change the screencode or anything... all i done was switch the phone off, and back on a few hours later :S HELP ME PLEASE??!!! I've taken out the battery, sim card, and SD Card and tried without the sim card and SD and still same problem.... Neva had this problem before... what do I do?!! right now ive just taken out everything and leaving it on the table!! PLease HELP ME OUT!!
ps: this is the normal screen lock... from within windows... not a sim card lock or anything... the lock you do from the start menu... just the simple one... still very confused!!! nothings working!!! i enter it wrong a few times and it says enter a1b2c3 to re-enter codes again.... wth??!!
do you have a backup of the device? If so I would try restoring a back up from a few days ago and try unlocking it then. Otherwise I have a feeling that a hard reset is in your future.
hard-reset okay cool, i dont have anything important, ive backed up everything from a few days back, will only lose a few days worth of messages thats all... how do i hard reset? i'm gonna go search, but plz point me towards a link thnx... hope i dont have to return it to manufactorer or warranty or something like that :S
First turn off the phone. Press and hold the pickup and disconnect buttons simultaneously and turn on the phone.
Thnx I found it, all I did was search google for Hard-Reset HTC Touch Pro 2... That was really stupid though how it locked and wouldnt accept my password?? still confused as to how that happened :S
This has just happened to me - switched the phone off for the night and in the morning it won't accept my password.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a solution? Have the cooks ironed this out on their ROMS? (I'm using stock orange ROM).
Ok, this is a slightly weird but VERY annoying issue..
Today I stopped being able to turn my TP2 on from standby.
What actually happens is when I push the power button, the phone activates, but the screen remains blank.
Pushing the volume buttons turns it up and down ( I can hear the tones)
Hang up and other buttons work ok.
The soft rest button does nothing.
Pulling out the battery restarts the phone, and the screen then works fine. Power button can then be used to turn the screen off, but will not turn it back on again
So long as I then keep the phone awake, all is well, as soon as it sleeps, I am back to the same situation.
Problem number 3 is that the Charging LED is no longer lighting up, but the phone is charging as normal.
I have hard reset the phone, and also flashed the latest WWE ROM from HTC, to no effect.
Charging LED is off even when the phone is shut down.
errrm...
Any ideas???

OMG, i am having the EXACT same issue. powerbutton will sleep phone but not initiate the screen to turn back on, openeing keyboard lights up the keys, closing lights up the buttons under the screen. Ive also hard reset etc.
Any help!?!?
I'm gonna try task29 and see what happens, could that be what caused it? Thats the only new thing ive donw
hmm, also noticed that when booting android, i get an error message: Something used micropkit_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
Since the problem deals with the screen/sleep could this be a hint?
BTW: task29 doesnt help at all =[ cant anyone help?
Are you using Windows Mobile or Android?
Hard reset and see if the problem goes away.
running windows mobile and android. Cant boot into android because I receive that error message previously stated... Hard reseting doesnt help =[
Running WM, and I've done 2 hard resets and a ROM flash.
Interestingly enough, the last thing I did before having problems was to run up and play with the latest version of Android, using the cab install version.
Is there some code for that (perhaps used for the power button to intercept the press) that could be remaining in rom after the reset???
Clutching at straws here...
Ok, found this at the end of the Android thread:

thanks a lot, man!
this pretty much solves it - mines' also working now
Note: Flashing hard spl seems to have fixed mine too!
Hmm... could this HSPL also cause a problem with not connecting the device to PC? (device is not reckognized)
Hard SPL Reflash
Hey there, did you just reflash Hard SPL and evertything was fine? or did you hard reset and reflash your ROM also after reinstalling Hard SPL?
Thanks!
Michael

I just booted up into my current rom(firestorm) and didnt let it sleep, plugged it in and flashed hard-spl, and it works now!! So dont hard-reset, just flash over your current rom.
Hmmmmm...
Just out of interest (as I'm always updating and playing with android) which version screwed with the phone?
Although it seems to be resolved, I'd rather not have to go though the bother of re-installing HSPL
I was using the cab install version
Project Android 031710v2.cab
Just to note further, before using it I had not installed Hard SPL, nor had I flashed my TP2 to any official ROMS
Does anyone know how to bypass the activation screen on the HTC Droid Incredible 2???
if you try to activate, hit back make it fail. repeat for at least 3 times and it should let you skip activation.
if that doesn't work you could use cdma workshop
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
That didnt work.
Tried everything to bypass. No other ideas?
Something I found in a Google search:
When you get the screen to tap on the Android to start the process, tap around the edges of the screen, starting top left, then top right, then bottom right, then bottom left. Puts you into a different screen that ultimately allows you to work your way out of it.
I don't know if this works with the DINC2, but it did work for my D2G, and the link I found it at was for a completely different phone.
That didnt work either. I am not to sure why it is different from Motorola and HTC. It is still an Android Os. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
Does it dump you into a different screen at all?
I cant get past the dial *228 to activate screen
You want the screen just before that. The very first screen. I'm getting ready to test on mine..
the first screen is the lock screen then it goes to the select language screen. then it tries to call *228 and it cannot activate because i am out of the country.
I see now. VZW activated mine when I was in store, so I didn't see this portion. It's different from my D2G. Looking to see if I can figure a way around it real quick.
If you could I would appreciate it alot. I have been racking my brain for days.
Does the phone try to do the activation phone call at all? I tried it three times, and ended the call all three times, and it allowed me to bypass activation. I can try to do a video if you'd like.
It does try. But for some reason it will not bypass. If your phone has been activated before then it works fine. But since i havent had it activated I cant bypass it.
Learn something new every day. Odd that it works like that. Sorry for getting your hopes up. Those are the only things I can think of.
The only way for anyone to see what I am talking about is to do a master reset on the phone. If anyone does it and it works please post a video so I can see what I may be doing wrong. Thanks to all that are trying to assist.
Master reset, as in factory reset? If it's different, and you can point me to how, I'll go ahead and do it.
The easiest way to do it is to hold the power button and hit restart. Once the unit is off hold the volume down key and a white screen appears. Factory reset is the 3rd option I believe so just use the volume key down and hit the power button. It takes a few minutes to reset.
Just sent you a PM.
Have to watch it later. Bad reception at work
