Hello,
This is actually my first post on XDA; in the past I only downloaded the great roms for my older HTC Touch and never posted something. Now I'm the proud owner of the TP2 and have some questions to ask
It's a great phone, but there are a few things I can't get working properly. I'd like to excuse myself for the awful English I'm writing, but that's because I'm a "Dutch guy" (I also have a default Dutch rom btw)
The Questions
[1] GPS, I've applied all of the tweaks I've found on the Rhodium forum for a better GPS response, I've also installed TomTom 7 - v7.910.9185 with Western Europe 1GB 815.2024. When I try to navigate I don't get an GPS fix, the gps on my TP2 has never worked before. I also tried 'quick gps' for getting some gps settings, but that also didn't work.
[2] On my old HTC touch I could press the battery-icon on top of the taskbar to quickly see the remaining battery-power. Now you get the 'notification screen'. The notification screen is quite good, but I'd like to see my battery-power in just one or two presses.
[3] I'm using Opera browser and when I go to any kind of websites, which have thumbnails of images on it, I have to press several times before the phone opens the link 'behind' the thumbnail image. I also can't select any text on a webpage. How do I fix this?
[4] On my sms inbox I want to select multiple messages with just a sweep on the touch screen. I've read somewhere on the forum that you can change this with a simple registry tweak, but I can't find it anymore.
[5] the TP2 has I nice Facebook future, here in the Netherlands Facebook isn't that popular, Hyves is the rulling social network over now, does anyone now if HTC is going to release a Hyves plugin instead of facebook?
[6] the TP2 stores contact pictures in a larger format than outlook, but because I've imported some photo's to my contacts via outlook, they all have a resolution of 72x72px, which looks quite blurry at my touch pro.. is there any option to increase the resolution of the outlook contact pictures? I've searched on the net, but no luck so far..
[7] I've installed the .cab which gave me the option to delete the first 4 icons on the start menu, but I accidently removed the 'settings' icon, and can't set it back anymore..
[8] My last question, where did the 'audio manager' go? On the tabs you've something like audio manager, but it's always running on the background, right? I want to start it at my own.
In the past; on my HTC touch, I've mapped the camera hardware button to launch 'audio manager', but on the TP2 it isn't even listed anymore at the program list.
Thank you for reading and helping me out!

EDIT: [9]whoops, another question came up in my mind.. Is it possible to activate the light sensor all the time? When I'm calling someone the screen turns off when you hold the phone next to your ear.. this would also be an nice option for putting your mobile in your pocket or something.
[1] solved: I did a hard reset and then it worked
[2] solved: I installed a customized notificationscreen
[7] solved: After the hard reset the icon was back

Hi,
Is anyone having any problems with viewing email synchronised from non-outlook sources? We use websphere everyplace client at work, and everything syncs fine, however when you click on the message header within "messaging" you get a blank (white) screen. I cannot view any detail at all from the messages, and have spent the last 2 days mucking about with various settings (Changing the inbox options to get full copy of messages etc) to no avail. I am currently working back on WM2005 with no problems, but would love to go back to black!
Any assistance would be fantastic.
Cheers,
Rob

rvaker, not sure what you mean, but kind of similar problem I have now too. I also get the "blank screen" but the thing is that the program scrolls down by itself the message, thus you see only white screen. If you see the scroll bar, scroll back up. I've got confused first time too, and thought it's not working. But at the moment, I don't know how to fix this and have the message on top right away without scrolling.
non outlook email reading and writng problem
Hi there.
I have same problem as well. With help of scrolling buttons I can read my email, however there is no opportunity to write new email or reply emails (white screen appear to screen).
How we can solve this problem? I am using vodafone push-email services.

I had a problem like this. My SMS and emails would always scroll down the screen when i opened them and had to use the bar to scroll back up to read it. Only thing i changed when this started happening was a reg change to navigation in IE and when i undid the change, it was fine again.
The change i made can be found in the wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
About half way down under the Pocket IE (PIE) section. Its the one to Navigate PIE up/down with the four-way pad.
May be worth having a look at your registry and undoing this change if its been made!
Thanks very much, JamesAub and GuzuGuzu. I'll re-flash black tonight (my time!) and give it a go!
Hi guys,
I've searched the forum to find posts related to sync'ing problems with facebook live profiles, of which the actions to resolve these bugs have already been put in place already in Dutty's V3 ROM.
To be more specific... when I get the list of Live Profiles on the screen, the photos for the facebook users start appearing one by one as it refreshes. However if i scroll down the list of users, it appears to have only have refreshed the users that are in view (so when i scroll down, all these users have no picture)... I gave it time, but nothing, so I pressed Refresh in the bottom left and it refreshed those username and displayed their pictures... but having scrolled back to my original position, the pictures have gone again.
What it appears is that the refresh is only updating the facebook users that are visable on the screen but not the whole list.
Is anyone having this problem? Or might have an idea how to solve it?
Thanks,
WizzKidd
A few people on the forum have suggested to others to "change the Data Connection so to download data automaticaly under updates and status/menu"
and,
"press update in the data settings menu and when it starts updating press home to get away from the updates and status page. It should carry on updating (the same way it would if you had it set to auto update) but you won't get the crashing if you're not on that page."
I cant seem to find these options in the Data Connections (under the Comm Manager, unless im looking in the wrong place). Can someone help me out here?
Thanks,

That was me that suggested that on the Dutty V3 thread. The data settings are under all people/updates and events/menu/data connection settings
I think the op was asking about the way the profile images refresh though. This is an issue, but I would imagine an intentional one, so as hundreds of images are not being loaded into memory every time contacts is open. The more contacts you have with photos, the more likely it would be to slow down your phone I guess.
EDIT: Oh! ha ha, you are the original poster. Doh!
I keep having to reset my phone preferences (such as my ring- I only want it to ring once) but it keeps resetting the settings to the default for the phone.
Is anyone else having this happen on their Sprint TP2?
***bump***
are you changing your ring settings through the touch flo 3d shell (settings>sound) or going through the traditional windows mobile settings (settings>sounds & notifications)?
My ring settings stick for both methods (or my phone says). I don't get calls enough for me to notice if settings stick.
maybe your ringtone is very long, so it sounds like it's ringing more then once?
I do experience a setting that I want to stick but doesn't. when you open phone, you choose menu > view. Default is "calls and contacts" but I only want "all calls". I can choose it and it'll filter, but when I close phone and reopen, it'll reset to "calls and contacts". =/
Thanks, Tone.
The ring is not long- it's an old fashioned phone ringer. The actual setting changes fron "Ring once" to "Ring."
I am setting it under the options on the dialer screen. I haave also gone through "Settings"; makes no difference.
So I recently hard reset my phone due to some other issues, but I tested if your problem again, and the settings are still fine on my end.
Out of curiosity, do you know what Manila version you have (along with what phone version)?
Mine is Sprint, Manila version 2.1.38416.1.
You can find the manila version with Reg Edit and go to "
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila"
String Value "Version" tells you the Manila version.
If you don't have reg edit, or don't know how to do it, that's ok, just phone version should be enough. I've been discovering from customizing my phone and researching on XDA, that Manila may have different bugs depending on what Manila version you have (and most likely a different Manila version is attached with different carriers).
Same Manila version.
Has been hard reset twice, but the problem persists...
oh boo, that sucks. if you have a phone replacement/repair plan with sprint, I say go to them and tell them the issue. I always ***** at sprint with whatever problem that can't be solved. it's a defect in the software/hardware and if you have the replacement/repair plan, they won't charge anything for repairs. and if they can't repair it themselves, they'll send out a request for a 'new' phone replacement. sometimes its brand new, sometimes its refurbished. depends what they have in stock.
I can not get my phone to filter contacts by just device contacts it always defaults back to all contacts making me have dupes. Anyone else have this or know how to make the setting stick?

this is what I do (if you have contacts on your sim).
enter phone app (call button).
press "contacts" (left soft key) to open contacts (manila shell).
press "menu" (right soft key).
choose "view".
listed is "all", "contacts" and "sim". choose "contacts" to list only device stored contacts.
settings stick for me. but I don't have contacts on my sim card to verify. however, the setting itself doesn't change back.
if you go to contacts (windows app version), I believe you can't do this, because there is no option for it.
this is one reason why I think manila is kind of retarded. it just covers up windows mobile, but there are still multiple front ends / GUI for the same things.
no real help, but i set my phone to ring and vibrate, and every now and then it reverts to just ring!!!
I was having the same problem until I noticed
the Single Volume control. It is above the Phone
controls on the settings panel. I turned it off
and now the phone ring settings stay the way I
set them.
it's a known issue for Sprint TP2's. it will be fixed with ROM update to WM6.5. in the meantime, check out this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=83378&highlight=jfrancisny&page=4. Post #36 fixed it for me.
Hello all! I"m hoping someone can help me out here. Recently, I was given a free upgrade from the Sprint TP (Raphael) to the TP2 (Rhodium). While reloading my new phone with my previous roms, emus and cabs... I destroyed my dialer. KDialer skins is obviously not compatible with the TP2 and now my dialer is cut off... and not alligned (I have to hit 123 for 456 for example). I found Juggalo's TP2 skin and loaded that, but now I am missing the talk/end buttons, and slider for incoming calls (can still see my start page where that is supposed to be). How can I fix this with out doing a hard reset?
move the slider over to settings, then select all settings. Select system and then in there select "Clear Storage". This will erase the phone and take it back to the OS you got with the phone.
It' may not be the only way but it's probably the best way to get your phone dialer and all controls back.
Thanks, but after searching for a couple hours I found the resource file names for the dialar .bpm's and deleted them. Installed a Rhodium Black Dialar and I'm all set.... (BTW, the point of me posting this question was to do this W/O a hard reset, thanks for trying... )
Hi
I can't download anything from Market after this update (Marketing browsing is almost fine). B4 this update my Market browsing & downloading was working flawless... but it's absolutely useless now.
Any1 else facing same problem... Any solutions???
K7
ive not updated and for the past few days ive not been able to download anything from the market eather... no idea why.
A Possible Solution
I sympathise - I recently had exactly the same problem with my HTC Desire and its extremely frustrating! - I was able to connect internet OK, also able to browse apps on Android Market, but unable to down-load anything at all (downloads simply didn't appear to start?). Having had no issues in the past, I realised (after much pulling of hair!) that my problem only started immediately after I had "upgraded" my GOOGLEMAIL account to a GMAIL account.
If you've recent switch your Google email address format from "[email protected]" to "[email protected]" this could well be the root cause of your problem (it was for me!). Funny thing is, if you swtich back to "[email protected]" format, you'll still pick-up any mail sent to "[email protected]" so cutting back is no big deal.
I was very simple to switch back, as follows....
[1] Launch "full" Goolemail session on your PC (Important - I do NOT mean the Googlemail snap-in on "iGoogle" screen!)
[2] Click on SETTINGS in the top right-hand corner of the screen
[3] Select the ACCOUNTS AND IMPORT tab (second from left)
[4] Use the "Send Mail As" option to switch from your "[email protected]" back to "[email protected]" format
[5] Go back to the GENERAL Tab and SAVE changes.
[6] IMPORTANT - Once you done this, you MUST also "Power Off" your HTC Desire (by holding down the on/off button,then selecting 'Power Off' when prompted) before the 'fix' comes into effect.
This completely fixed my problem - hope it works for you too!

Hey Knilly man...
Gimme ur hands I wanna kiss 'em man... It really helped did the same u said above & Market is running again like a horse... Thanks man... you saved me a lot... I was thinking 2 hard-reset the phone & for that I had 2 loose all my sms because I can't install any thing now 2 back up.
(And yes I did change my gmail b4 this problem occured)... thanks & have a good day.
K7
....thank you
K7 - you're welcome - and thanks for the feedback - I'm really please to hear that it fixed your problem too. Considering Android is Google's operating system, it sucks that changing the format of your Google mail adress (as they prompt you to do!) causes this problem! Good Luck - Knilly
