OK first will start with a complain. Maybe I was unlucky but although I love my Touch Pro 2, I really feel like the Hardware is not that good... Today my screen completeled jamed up (White background with blue/pink/green dots). The phone is still working (I can receive calls, etc...) but cant see a thing
I doubt it's linked to my Windows ROM (Original one) since when I boot up I cannot even see the screen with the ROM/Radio and Booloader version. It's only when I switch the screen on and off that I get the jammed screen (Otherwise it's black). So I can try to Hard reset... but I believe it's rather the video controler that is dead
Anyway... since the phone is still working (Activesync works !) and I stupidly didnt backup my MMS and SMS... I was wondering if someone knew how to back them up from my PC (For contacts and emails they are already backuped through Outlook)
Thanks a lot in adavnce and good luck with your device... (I cnat be 100% negative, I know many freinds who had to return their ipHone... Just pissed off that it happens to me without any particular reason)
Btw anybody got the same problem with their phone and found a way to fix it ? I am just so pissed off to ahve to ship it and wait for weeks without any phone...
Try MyMobiler. I'm in a similar position, my touch screen has stopped working, I can "drive" the phone on my PC using mymobiler.
Good luck!

Thanks gonna give it a try to PIM backup before a Hardreset
There are many free to try remote control apps for windows mobile, they work in the same manner as pc remote cotrol apps and allow you to fully control the device from your pc. Google will find them easy.
You can also backup the databases via activesync.
Have you tried a tv out cable, perhaps it's just the device's ribbon cable that is damaged............
Cheers,
Beasty
Looks great
But why the hell my PC is not laucnhing Acivesync when I connect my Touch Pro 2.............. Happened to me in the past with my Hermes and I have no idea why. I am offered to acces to the files or sync my media files but not to sync... Aaahh the worst time for this !!! Gonna google that...
I hope I dont have to enable it on the device... (It reminds me of soemthing on some custom ROMs where you ahve to allow sync through USB... (Though in tis case it's the original ROM and it still proposes to see the device files...)
**** Reinstalled the crappy Activesync (Or Mobile center for the new version) and it worked. Cant believe... the laptop is brand new. Anyway thanks a lot the Software is great and will allow me to save everything

Hi Guys,
I recently upgraded to the HTC Official WM6 ROM (3.54.255.3_6275_1.48.00.10) and I'm having some small problems...
1) I cant change to a different theme anymore, Yesterday I changed it to the standard windows theme and since then it ignores my changes completely.
2) Streaming Media doesnt seem to work... I've tesetd it on YouTube with little to no success, occasionally I get a small black box so it looks like its about to start but always times out.
3) it wont connect to windows updates anymore (I know there isnt any there yet but it will be nice to know that the option will be available to me.
4) I can no longer remove anything from my memory card, it now tells me there is a sharing violation even though the program has been closed.
Sorry guys but I cant be the only one with these problems, if anyone can help that would be fantastic.
Thanks

Hello,
For sharing violation when trying to delete, soft reset and then try delete again.
It worked for me so far. If file still shows up after deleting, use MemMaid to remove. Hope this will help.
Hi all,
my TMO-MDAIIIc stopped syncing over usb cable!
I do not have any clue why!
Last thing i remember i installed the OpenVPN-Client!
I did this before on Windows Mobile 5 without problem.. So i presume it's not caused by OpenVPN!
Nevertheless i wonder if anyone has experienced this as well? I tried to connect the device to several computers without even ActiveSync recognizing it. But loading the battery over USB still works!
I also do not get a "Network Interface" if i connect the cable.
I searched several forums and find out there were similar problems, but unfortunately no solution for me...
It seems not to have something to do with the "Notification deleted" problem..
As i can see several replog.exe notifications. Also the one about RS232 Connections... Is there any other Notification missing maybe?
I also tried to play with the USB-to PC option in the settings menu. No effect.
Im totaly clueless i can sync via bluetooth, and irda, and of course wireless (gprs).
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers!
Syn
My phone stopped working the same as yours about 6 months ago. I recently found out that it was because i charge my phone in my car, which can damage the USB Interface Board in the phone. (usually when you have the phone on charge, and then start the car, causes a spike in the current).
As far as i know, the only way to fix it is to send the phone back to the supplier, who will replace the board under warrenty.
Assuming you have the same problem
Hi, thanks for reply!
could be true! I also charge it in the car frequently... I didn't payd a lot attention to if i plug it beofre starting the car or after...
So my last try now seems to be a "hard-reset".
I'll let you know if it fixes the problem.... If not....
I may need to "downgrade" the phone b4 sending it right?
Cheers!

yeh, its probably a good idea to put the original ROM back on
What's really bugging me is:
Why is it still "loading" the battery after damage to the USB-Circuit??
Anyway.. i did the hardreset, and guess what...
no effect... my problem now is.. if usb stopped working.. how do i flash back to original rom? :->
bluetooth? *shudder*
Cheers!

yeh, same as me i havent been able to flash a cooked ROM to mine at all. You can change the ROM by using the MicroSD, as long as you are USPL unlocked. There is a section in the Wiki about how to do it.
You cant change the ROM using bluetooth, caus half way thru flashing, whats gonna control the bluetooth??!
The Battery still charges caus the battery charging circuit is seperate to the USB control circuit
Are you guys running XP on your comp/laptop? have you turned off your firewalls? i had problems syncing on my laptop with xp, now i use my comp, but i found if i removed firewalls all was ok. if you have tried reflashing, or if you havent flashed any new software if you have tried re-sinstalling active sync, try the above, im sure its somethign simple

I've tried everything... WinXP, WinXPx64, Win2000, Win Vista, active sync V.3-4.5... the only answer is to send the phone back to T-Mobile, they will fix it under warrenty tho, so it aint so bad.
hi thank you all for your replies!
unfortunately i think mugglesquop is right,
the device died from power overflow from car adapter...
funny thing here is: i use a motorola car adapter all the time! no problems.. then i changed to a tmobile provided adapter! And now it seems that tis one is vulnerable to power highs! Great!
You know what ? I love t-mobile for providing "cheap" "crappy" hardware!
actually im downloading the original rom i found and i will try to flash it back via sdcard. Then i will send it in!
Cheers!
Syn
What rom are you using ?
I had the same problem & i was using B&B4.3. It took me a couple of days of trying before i could get an activesync connection. I then flashed O2's mobile 6 Rom & hey presto everythings working again (now trying different rom). Not sure it was the Rom as only a few people seem to have experienced the problem. So it could have just been a coincidence. Also i would assume that the problem should be instant rather than after a few days of having the rom flashed. Have you tryed jiggling the usb cable about in the phone to try & get a connection ?

lol, gotta love T-Mobile... No WM6 update as well
Good luck getting ur MDA sorted!
I can't get Active Sync to recognize my phone. What needs to be done?
Are you using Vista ? In that case you need to update the sync center.
no i'm still with XP
ok after like all night i somehow got it to work, doesnt ask how (it was late in the morning)
Now how to get the symbols to work and im done
Install the cabs in this thread and your symbols will work...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375768
the problem i'm having with active sync and 6.1 is that it starts on the phone (in the background) automatically. and it won't die either. you kill it... and it's back a short time later (even if you haven't connected to your computer).
not a biggie i guess. i tried the fix (where you create an exchange server and then adjust the active sync settings on the phone) but it didn't seem to change anything.
anyway... i have no idea if there's a fix, but at the very least am currious to know if anyone else is having the same issue.
this isn't an install fluke either (though it could be a fluke with my phone specifically) as i had the problem on multiple installs of the rom and w/ multiple 6.1 roms (both the 07 and 08 versions).

I thought i had done that...seems like i had to do it again to "kick" in TY
I've read the wiki and faqs beforehand. Now, with that out of the way here's my issue. I need to either hard reset or reinstall a new rom on my t-mobile branded dash. Here's the constraints
1) left soft key doesn't work, but all other buttons do.
2) I can't activesync and I've never synced the phone to a computer before.
That's it.
I recently posted a couple questions because the phone got oil damage and wouldn't start up. Well... i fixed that, but for some reason when booted up, it automatically locked the keys. I would normally click left soft key and * , but of course... left soft key doesnt work. Therefore, a traditional hard reset won't work, and if it could, well... i'd just unlock my keys right. Since this was my mothers phone, i never needed to sync it and I tried syncing a few minutes ago and get nothing. That's probably because the phone is locked.
The phone is carrier unlocked and runs on att network.
Common guys... need your help on this one. Either a way to unlock to keys or a way to hard reset would be good... as long as the hard reset doesn't result in a fresh os that starts up with keys locked.
Look below and download the new 6.1 Rom and then navigate here on how to set up the rom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=415225
Follow those instructions and it will work for you.
well thanks, but step 1 is not possible. In my original post, i mentioned that i can't sync because 1) the phone has never been synced before and 2) my comp, which already has activesync installed for my hermes, doesn't recognize the device in the usb port.
Yeah dude, can't even run the sda unlocker man. It asks to connect my phone. Whats up on an old school sd rom install.. oh yeah, that violates the first law.
So, there seem to be two rules. No left soft key and no activesync. HELP?
im me if you think you can help

remote hard reset
ATT says that they can remotely do a hard reset from their corporate fortress of pain and suffering. I will allow them to rape my data stream in an effort to free my soul of the keylock demons. I will have plenty of holy water... so don't you worry.
Maybe try a program like my mobiler or True Connect Pro. You could possibly put the cabs on your SD mini card and control your mobile thru your pc and clear your storage to hard reset. Your probably still going to need active sync but do your research just to be sure.
Honestly I think your phone is fubar. If you spilled some oil inside it and buttons are not working it's only a matter of time where more problems will occur.
Good Luck
your right... it had a good 2 week run after the oil spill. Now, even though yesterday it was charging and starting fine, today it wont charge or start. Oh well... i give up.. anyone need a new battery?
Hi,
Im using unlocked T-mobile MDA pro 64mb phone with WM 6.1 (build 19960.1.1.8 TML)
The problem is that when I connect to GPRS, Internet explorer, outlook and most of the internet softwares (opera browser, google maps etc...) don't work. Internet explorer stops at loading. outlook says synchronization error. But, a few softwares like IM messenger, some trading software work fine. The problem occurs only when on GPRS. Everything works fine on wifi.
I have been facing this problem since I have unlocked the phone and flashed it for the first time. I have flashed for several times with various roms. initially it works but soon problem reappears. hmm.. Problem did not appear in WM 6.5 (but phone is hell slow. So, im forced to remove it). Further the problem is not network specific as I tried on various networks.
Guys please help me.. I searched a lot on internet and it seems like no one is facing this type of problem in the whole world except me

Hi!
thnx for ur reply... I'm desperately waiting for it...
Any how I tried this... as usually it worked fine at the beginning and problem repeated again. The new development is that the application which I said to be working previously (IM messenger etc...) are also now working now...
Very much frustrated about this issue as I'm unable to find the background reason for it . Even the XDA forums cant help it....And the worst part is that warranty is not going to apply as I unlocked it..
Yet no solution...
info?
Which network?
Prepaid/postpaid?
Did you add a new connection manually yet it won't work?
You are doing something wrong because this is weird.
Go to start>settings>connection>connections>tasks>add new connection>
name...anything, access point.....airtelgprs.com / internet (for idea ) / aircelgprs etc.
Done.
Launch browser , it should connect if you have data plan / enough credit.

Hi
Thanks for your suggestions.
Im using airtel network. and all those settings are already set on my phone.
Yes. I accept that my problem is weird. Thats the reason why I'm unable to find a solution for it.
Yet... I'm testing by changing various roms and still no success.
every time the problem repeats on 2-3 usages of gprs.
When I use opera browser it says that "I have some problem in settings". What to do I've checked those settings for hundreds of times and further if there is a problem in connection settings then why the heck it worked for the first few times?
Some stupid suggestions
Try same sim in another handset,
Try another sim or another network in THE Uni,
Try another cell tower area,
Because I have tried every single ROM ...shipped or cooked and this has nothing to do with GPRS getting disconnected.
As you said "I am the only one in the world with this problem" , means it cannot be a real problem , have faith , keep trying.
And for the warranty...Just flash the Original ROM and you are good again!

Hi
I did every experiment I can think of.... Including testing this sim on other phone or testing the other sim on this phone.
I even tried flashing the original T-mobile rom.
I also tried to find if the programs I install has something to do with the problem...but found none of it affects.
As you said it may not be a rom problem.
If it fails to work completely then I can guss some thing about the origin of the problem like rom or hardware or whatever...
As it is working well initially, I don't understand where exactly the problem lies...
have you done a doc-format? sometimes that can get rid of very peculiar problems.

Hi
Is the process of using mtty and task 28 55aa command what you call doc-format (sorry for ignorance)?
Then I've already did it...
anyway thanks for your suggestion...
I think the real culprit is activesync. anyway I have to do some tests and confirm.
To clear my doubt I decided to conduct a small test. I factory reset my system for three times to check the gprs connectivity...
First reset:
1. GPRS worked flawlessly.
2. On connecting to pc + pairing up + synchronizing problem reappeared.
second reset:
1. GPRS worked flawlessly.
2. On connecting to pc by pairing up problem reappeared.
First reset:
1. GPRS worked flawlessly.
2. On connecting to pc without pairing up problem reappeared.
So, this strengthened my assumption that the problem is with active sync.
I cannot confirm so easily...
Further I would use my phone with out connecting to PC for 3-4 days and check if problem reappears.
Then I would check it by connecting to a different PC. Then I can confirm whether the problem is with active sync of my system or the phone...
By the way, today is the second day of my testing without connecting to pc and no issues detected till now
folks,
Today on the fourth day of my test, I conclude that connecting to my pc creates the gprs problem. No Idea how and why...
suggestions any one?
anyhow I would connect my phone to a different pc and check out if the problem is with my pc or with the phone...
no suggestions?
How much space have you got on the phone after sync? The computer may be trying to sync to uni even though you are not aware of it.
How confident are you with dealing with your computer registry, I mean, if you are using a Windows PC that is. You should try to clear any traces of old pairings from the PC before connecting the Uni to it again and allowing it to do a fresh start. It may be loading all sorts of corrupted or duplicated data that are messing up with your system. Backup your registry first, just in case you mess it up by mistake, to be on the safe side. Then, get stuck in and search for the word activesync (or words to that effect in your language) on the registry and where it shows the pairing settings delete only the keys related to pairing with the Uni, then try connecting again. Hope this helps.
