Greetings All,
I recently got the tilt 2 as a replacement for my Fuze from ATT warranty, and marcini made my day with his volume fix, but I still have a couple of questions I hope some can either help me out, or direct me in the right direction.
Being a Motorola user before, I liked the idea of being able to setup contact ringtones and sms tones for each contact, instead of WinMo have one tone for all sms's. Anyone know if there is a way to do this, either by hack, or third party that threads along?
Also I see there are alot of lock type programs, and have done searches but havent found anything, is there a program that allows you to lock certain programs from being accessed without a PW? For example I'd like to lock the messages from being accessed and say the contacts without entering a code. Again motorola had this feature as well as some other phones, and was wondering if anyone knows if there is anything out there like this for the Tilt2?
Another question is, in the stock ATT tilt2 when you get a call it shows a picture of who is calling, after answering the call, I notice that the call screen says unknown with a avatar outlining? This from what I have seen only happens with incoming calls and not out going calls.
Another problem, in the Fuze under the people tab, you could finger swipe to have the plus box to tap so you can add people to the list, it seems that in the tilt2 you have to tap the plus sign thats located at the right, having big fingers, thats not always easy to do. Is this by design or a bug?
Last this would be a mod if anything, cause I have seen this be this way with htc since the 8125 model. is there any way, hack or cab or what not (Not third party) to increase the amount of alarms from 3 to possibly 5 or 6? I normally use the 3 alarms and when I need to I change the last one all the time, because the first two have to remain.
Last question I promise, US Tilt2 or US Touch Pro 2 users, On my version I have noticed that the signal bars are constantly shifting from 0 bars to 5 bars, especially after the phone screen blacks out and then you hit the power button to wake it up, but it also does occur with awake too. Is this something everyone is experiencing? Or only ATT tilt2 users? I have checked this with other phones I have, (Fuze, Tilt, LG Incite) and I dont see this problem occur.
If any of these have been answered I apologize in advance, but I have been coming here for a very long time, and I have done numerous searches over the past and sometimes I get lucky, and sometimes you dont, but I dont recall seeing any of these questions ever asked.
Incase anyone needs to ask, I am running the stock rom that came with the tilt2 from ATT with WinMo6.5.
Thanx for anyone helping out with the questions, or directing me to the right place!

You can choose individual ringtones for a contact by editing their entry in the Contacts app and selecting a ringtone from the drop down menu. There is no native way of selecting a tone for SMS though.

A known issue with the Tilt 2, and lucky you, HTC issued a fix for it today.

That is by design. You can also tap the Menu soft-key and select Add Favorite. You can also add favorites from within the HTC Contacts app. Just slide over to the Favorites tab and tap 'New'.

Windows Mobile by design only manages up to 3 alarms. To get more, you will probably have to resort to some 3rd-party application.

I have not seen this issue with my phone. It may be the way the phone responds to the reception in your area, or some other factor.

Then do you or anyone know of a third party app that threads into the htc app to add sms tones to each contact?

Yeah I know the other ways, but thought they would have changed that since the screen usually stays at the last contact to stopped at.

Well that is another factor in this area, but none of my other phones do it so I thought I would ask and see. I have tried with Advanced Configuration to shut off 3G but it wont let me, going to see if the HD2 Tweak program will to see the results, since 3G is just about dead here in South NJ with the flood of Iphones sucking up the bandwidth.
I'll ask my questions here since I dont think making multiple posts is needed:
Anyone know where the registry location is for landscape to portrait mode? I installed the cab that increases the list of apps using G-Sensor, but for some reason if I go into file explorer in portrait mode and then turn the phone, the screen wont switch to landscape mode?
Anyone notice that the calculator is different in landscape mode then portrait mode? Landscape its scientific.
Did HTC remove the IMapp for AIM, Yahoo, MSN? If so, does anyone know of a IM app that works on the TP2 that doesnt use Data? Meaning AIM, MSN, Yahoo, would connect but I have an umlimited txt plan and its free, does anyone know which might do those 3 or all of them thru the txt msg plan and not data?
Sorry for all the questions, but I havent seen them asked so incase anyone else has issues its in one Post.
Thanx in advance for the answers.
As far as a seperate alarm.. I fully endorse G-Alarm.. http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=galarm/about
That is one sweet alarm proggy..
As far as the individual sms tones.. a google search of xda with terms sms+contact* gave me this thread as a first result.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=236909 haven't used it, but reads like Mort Script stuff to me..
I have a might sound like a stupid question, does the slideout keyboard on the tilt2 light up? I am getting mine on Monday 12/20 I have searched everywhere and can not find the answer.

Hi folks,
i logged onto yahoo messenger in the browser app and it doesnt auto predict text when typing.. any way to fix this?
cheers,
mick
The HTC IME Mod *might* be able to do this. Once installed, look in the "Prediction and Dictionaries" settings - you can turn on prediction/dictionary for lots of different fields - no idea if it'll work for an online app like this, but it's worth a try...
Yeah I would like this this too..
Also why the heck has Yahoo not made an app yet, having to 'refresh' in a conversation is very much annoying. In the Philippines my GF gets a text when I send her a message and she replies and it comes to my YM, even that is preferable to the current wap page. It would be good if she could do GM but mobile internet is charged by time there so it would cost a bomb.
Any insight into this?
I remember this happening to my rooted g1 with the slow and sort of crappy sense ui installed; so when my wife complained that her text messages on her Slide dont go in order i was shocked that the problem STILL exists.
I didnt see a thread about it here, sorry if i missed it. Anyone else have text message conversations where the texts are out of order? Phone is stock btw
I appear to have that same problem too, but I'm using stock Android right now. If we have the same problem I can elaborate on it more.
My problem seems to be that if I get a text message reply from someone and it's in the same minute as the last text message I sent the person, their text will go above mine, even though they sent their's after I sent my text.
So for example: I send a text to somebody at 3:20:15PM and that person sends a text to me at 3:20:55PM, their text will go above my 3:20 text, making it look like they sent the message first.
I had this problem as well, before my phone was rooted and even after. The only solution i have found is to install a different SMS app, which i use Handcent because its the closest to the stock app, and its free.
interesting, my wifes is stock and she said it happened with texts that were no more than a minute apart as you mentioned.
i just cannot believe this is still a problem. Sense UI is neat but this sure seems like a fundamental feature that shouldnt have such issues...
same thing has been happening to my texts, before and after root.
i can say the same thing happens to me also

OK, so my phone someitmes goes out of sleep mode and lights up as it looks like its about to recieve a text.
Some times is does, sometimes it doesnt.
Sometimes it lights up, and no text, so i open up my web browser and I recieve like 3 texts from earlier times...
anyone know whats up with that? I know its not the sprint network, its phone related...
Also, my friends say they are doing some group text? where they are all in a convo with each other via text i guess... anyone konw what this is about?
and they say they send me messages in this group chat via sms, but i dont receive ANY!
Thanks,
Zack
The wakeup without text might have nothing to do with the missing messages. I've seen WinMo pro2 light up after reception of silent provisioning data.

So if I skip the crazy step then effectively, WinMo drove you to Android. Good
well i know it wakes up everytime im sent a text message that is a group text.
I never get them though, i tested this out via my friends phone.
I guess there is this thing, where you can SMS multiple people at once, and its one big conversation!
Anyone ever hear of this?
My phone i guess doesnt support this since i get none of these, only reg. sms's
Is there an app or soemthing i can get on my winmo?

I answered you here:

Hey Forum,
I have had a HTC One X since release, overcome the flickering issue via the self-update... but now I have encountered a new problem!
When I receive a text message from someone, I sometimes receive part of an old message dating back a week and then it cuts out some of the new message so I get a completely jumbled up text message!?
I have never encountered a problem like this before. I have reset the phone back to Factory Default to see if this helps .... it doesn't.
Anyone know of a fix for this or suffering from the same problem?
If there is no fix I will see about getting a new phone. But.
I am on Orange as a network provider, but I bought it through Phones 4 U (in UK) via telephone. So I don't know if there is an easy way for me to get a replacement handset...is there???
I have no insurance on the phone, but I'm thinking of getting it then a month later *accidently dropping* the phone and claiming a new one. Is this a viable option...???
Let me know your thoughts.
Thank you for reading, hope someone can help me out. Flack.
im not sure i understand completely.
is the problem like this:
text 1 message body (from a week ago as you said): hi on way home, make sure dinners ready
text 2 message body (the new message): that dinner last week was really nice
the message you see (corrupted one): "hi on way home, week was really nice" or "week was really nice hi on way home"
is the above what happens?
Whoh

Hi Lawrence750,
It is an extremely hard problem to understand, but you have described it VERY well..
It is like: "hi on way home, week was really nice" for the corrupt message!
That is what happens, it doesn't happen alot, but it does happen and it is confusing at times!
Thanks for your reply.
You could try using a different sms app, it is hard to decide whether it's the network or the phone. If different sms app doesn't work, probably worth giving your network provider a call, they'll likely send you a new sim card at first which I guess would also have a chance at solving the problem
Btw are they mms or sms messages?
