Hi Guys,
I'm totally puzzled with this. Just bought the touch pro 2 with the Device Information in Windows Mobile 6.1 showing with 256mb ram. I supposed the official spec from HTC comes with 288mb ram installed???
And one more surprising thing I've found is that it comes with FM Radio pre-installed on the device. But I thought there's official news again from HTC that they decided to remove FM radio??
Now I'm puzzled by this...
Anyone have the same problem?
yes, mine also reports 256MB

UPDATE - wrote to HTC and they replied saying this is a software bug and they may release a patch for this next month.
yes, i have the same problem. displays as 256MB
Same for me, should be a reason for it i guess..
i was lucky enough to have the first shipment in uk unbranded unlocked and mine even says 256 ram so this is a bug from the start.
Yeah I wonder why. Anyone asked HTC?
Its the Diamond Qualcomm aliens that eat ram!
Seriously though, isnt 32mb reserved for graphics?
There are 2 RAM ICs on HD/Blackstone; 256Mb is accessible in WM, 32Mb is accessible in radio. Latter 32Mb could be used for video acceleration too, don't know. Supposedly the same is true for Rhodium...

see my reply above
hi guys (excuse my english) ,
I have the same problem with memory - it says 256mb
But more disturbing thing for me is that when entry
settings-all settings-system-memory it says only 188mb memory!!
Is it same with you , and if it is why is that?
i mean it seams like my devise is working only with 188 mb RAM .
I see that in notifications bar and also in setting in memory tab.
Is it Normal?

Mine says that too. But that is program memory which you can use to install programs not ram (random access memory), it should be like this.
Hi Guys,
HTC just released new ROM to fix this problem.
http://www.htc.com/hk-en/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=612&news_id=199
Just Check the site above but when I entered my serial, it is not suitable to my device...
I guess it is only for "HK" reqion...doesn't work for me too with same error
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
The link to the ROM update on HTC/HK can only be downloaded using serial numbers of devices distributed officially, sold and bought in Hong Kong only. The English update carries the file name "RUU_Rhodium_hTC_Asia_HK_WWE_1.19.721.3_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe" so it looks like it's targeted for HK units only.
For devices bought from other locations, you need to check for ROM update through the HTC support page for your region.
i'm not exactly clear on this, does it just display the RAM incorrectly ?? or does it actually not detect the RAM ie only 256mb is available for use
can anyone clarify ??
is there a way to find out which country is ROM from in my Touch Pro 2?
I'm glad HTC has posted a ROM fix for HK users & soon it will be available to worldwide users. Anyway I come from singapore so last but not least we shall see what other fixes are contained in this new ROM.
Cheers everyone

p835 is wvga so i guess it will b slightly difficult to do so
Why? The Today plugin doesn't occupy the whole screen area, so it seems to be good enough for VGA resolution, too.

Its not a question of today plugin, but graphics.
VGA = 640x480
WVGA = 480 X 800
I hope now you can understand
I know the difference between VGA and WVGA.
What graphics do you mean?

well the graphix such as png(s) will be differrent in their resolution for p835/565/552w and hence it is slightly difficult..For Ex

BTW, why does it display errors like "MobileCalculator cannot be opened", and the stuff about trusted certificates?

Please, add changes history to your first post, don't just replace download link with a new one, it's very inconvenient.
And, anyway, thank you for doing all this.

I hv checked core player also works
One more question. WM6.5 offers new finger-friendly popup menus on soft-keys, though it seems that these menus available only in a limited set of preinstalled applications. Why? Is it because a developer has to recompile applications with the new SDK, or it is an issue of the current OS build (I mean, build 21501, not your firmware file build )?
Another bug: Choosing "Security" tab in Phone Settngs causes application crash.
Update: Worked fine after reboot. At first boot it couldn't find a cell network, so maybe it was a reason of crash. On second boot, the network was found instantly, and everything worked fine.
And, yes, including config files for Asus's Network Setting would be nice.
Hi
I've noticed a problem with my TP2, wondered if anyone else had it and had found a way round.
I store all my contacts as international codes (i.e. +447799xxxxxx etc) so I don't have to mess about when on holiday. However I've noticed a problem with this and the Touch Flo interface.
When I get an SMS I see it on the touch flo page, double click and i see the touch flo SMS interface as follows: -
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
However when I send, it drops the + from the beginning of the message. Concequently, it tries to send to 4417799xxxxxx which is invalid and goes into my drafts folder.
If however from the front page I choose the "All Messages" soft key and reply to the message in the standard threaded WM6.1 interface: -
then it works fine.
Any idea how to fix this (without removing +44 from all my contacts!)
Cheers, Sy

I am not a friend of manila or tp2 but just an idea - maybe you have something wrong with the regional settings?

Yes, but before i had the same problem and after also.
remember notify HTC support !
I'm not sure but I think something goes wrong when restoring contacts via sprite-backup. I noticed an ';' behind or in front of a phone number once.
Try editing the contact, selecting and saving the phone number and see if it happens again.

Forget it. They are interested in selling not fixing. Terrible customer support
I don't use Sprite Backup, but my contacts are synced OTA to Exchange, whether that makes a difference or not I don't know.
I do have CF3.5 installed, but don't know whether I had the problem before (I installed it when I first got the phone).
Strangely the problem also seems a little intermittent - for example this morning I did a test reply using the TF interface, and it worked okay?
I will send a message to HTC though so hopefully they'll look into a fix!
Oh, and just noticed my regional settings were set to US not UK, so I've changed this to see if it makes a difference. Though the regional settings don't seem to make any direct reference to phone number format so we'll have to see if it actually makes a difference.
Further investigation suggests this seems to happen on the 2nd reply. i.e. in an SMS thread I reply to a message and it's okay....reply again (before another from sender) and the + gets dropped.

Discussion about project: bada-world.pl/androbada/android-na-wave-t3606.html
Two waves had already burned so we need grants to purchase new ones. At the moment there is only one wave and we aren't able to continue our efforts in developing the project. As soon as we get new phones, we will continue the entire project.
Paypal: [email protected]
Account number: 85 2490 0005 0000 4000 1126 1278
There is no possibility of launching programs, camera, etc (FOR NOW). Any applications (except for the widgets and themes) does not work. Application start-up turns off the phone and causes it to burn. After the restart / turn off file changes occur which rise the timing of the CPU, which causes burning. Therefore, all the time I take care of wave wouldn't discharged. I'm really sorry to inform you that yesterday at 8:30 am the next wave burned. We have a huge problem with stabilizing the CPU. Now there is only one wave, and we stopped work temporarily. If we lose the last wave, we must stop the project. Within a few days, I will share video in which dispel all doubts of people who think that is a lie. In this video I will ask the whole world for any grants to buy two or three samsung wave. We do not expect that it will happen, but unfortunately, within 4 months the losses are too big, we can not afford to throw this expensive equipment.
And one more thing: A fully functional android 2.2.1 (and in future 2.3) is only a matter of time!

Just tried on my htc touch diamond2. It works well but because of the high resolution and the poor processor compared to the snapdragon on the leo, it lags a bit. Maybe a lower graphics mode? Most windows mobile phones don't have a snapdragon

You can increase game fps by removing online game statistics on some WM devices.
Nice game
tested it on my touch pro 2 with my own rom (ocarina rom) working on wm 6.1
On my cruise, don't talk about it, it won't start because of not enough memory... saddly for my good and old polaris...
So, what can I say, nice game, a bit (more...) lagish... it's on version 1.0.1 I think.
I'll try the second version.
ps : you should add a help menu... I had to search a lot how it works :s
Last version has better increase, I'm impressed !
But why just hiding the infos while playing is it runnig faster ?
You will have to solve it ^^

"Infos" using large 32bit textures with alfa channel, it can decrease render time on old phones (with poor CPU and graphics chip).

yes, and maybe you are not aware, that there were good cpus BESIDES snapdragon, until HTC destroyed whole PDA matter(pda = palmtop with phone module and WM, not to be confused with 0button android bs).
btw, game's fluid on 520 mhz xscale(what's not surprising, there's even no need to overclock). i mean.. it is fluid until mem runs out
tbh, seeing visuals i cannot understand why mem requirements are SO high. and i am serious.
anyway, it is not freeware, so i am amazed, that rule of xdadev is broken here.

Your phone’s RAM is a very essential component which plays a vital role in the speed and the performance. if you have more RAM, it means the processor have more storage capacity to process more and more temporary functioning files, and hence it can freely work which ensures the device is fast enough. But if your RAM is low, the processing power of the device is affected. Like if you have a low RAM< you won’t be able to play high end games on your Android Smartphone, or even ti might lag while doing simple tasks such as seeing a video, typing a text etc. So if you are suffering from low RAM, and want to get rid, you are at the right place. By reading this post you will be able to know how could I increase the RAM
ROEHSOFT RAM EXPANDER :
This RAM expander app is one of the best app available in the play store which allows you to easily increase the RAM of your Android smartphone. So let’s begin with the process toincrease RAM using ROEHSOFT RAM EXPANDER. Have a look at some of the features of this app to increase RAM of your device.
Swap memory file upto 4 GB ( In simple words it can increase ram by 4 GB depending on your device and memory card too)
Widget for PNP swap
Detailed analysis of your memory and details about it
Swappiness kernel parameter already set.
Very easy to use and create swap file and really simple interface
It will work with most of the Android devices.
Pre-requisites :[/COLOR]
Here is a list of things we will need before starting the process to increase RAM.
A rooted android phone, so if you haven’t yet rooted your phone first root your device as this method only works with root access to your device.
ROEHSOFT RAM EXPANDER app, you can get this app from play store but you need to know that this is not a free app. (though you can number of apk files for this app but most of them won’t work due to license issues but you can try them, if they worked it will be your luck ).
An external memory SD card installed on your phone.
How to Use ROEHSOFT RAM Expander :
So file the steps below to increase the RAM of your Android smartphone now.
Install the app on nokia x to increase RAM
Now after installing the app choose your default language.
Now to increase RAM create a SWAP file by clicking on the SWAP Active and enabling it
After the process is finished just click on the grey colored box and activate the swap file created.
Congratulations you have successfully increased the RAM of your Android smartphone.
This increased ram will not show in the task manager but you can feel the change with the overall performance of the device which seems to be boost up. If you already have a decent ram them got might need to run some very heavy game to know the difference in performance. So I hope this post helped you in increasing the RAM of your Android smartphone.

I followed this and got my device hard bricked......please do not swap....u'll get your device bricked(hard bricked).....the one who posted this must be punished....
Why people not clarifying it as someone already bricked his device on following this thread.
Just tried this with a 512 MB swap file on a rooted Nokia X with Gapps and Google Now Launcher.
Feels a bit smoother now. Had no real issues. Only SuperSU seems not to be 100% reliable when temproary setting the app to allow root access. Changed it to be permanently root. Now works fine.
