HTC has released an update for the Touch Pro 2 which "amends the internal management of SMS functionality, and enhances SMS transmission stability".
You can get it here. The update seems to be missing on the European mirrors at the moment, but the US one works.
thanks dude for the info... i'll try that.
i was experiencing some lagging in the messaging-centre. also tried this htc messaging v1.8 from someone but couldn't see any change. maybe this fixes some things...
So does someone know what is this update for?

supposedly its an enhancement for the SMS app, a lot of people have been experiencing issues like crashing and being unstable
this fix however should solve those problems
im suprised HTC is still supporting this device, hopefully theyll release a ROM before WP7.....which highly doubt it but you never know

Never experienced crashing/unstable... but brutally SLOW yes! And after installing this "fix" it is still slow as hell.
They should've already made a fix for the SOD problem ages ago...
Is there a custom ROM that'll fix this problem?
While this fix shows up under the UK link, if I go to U.S. site and put in Sprint Touch Pro 2, the fix is not listed? Is this only for European phones?
Just installed: it updates to HTC Messages Version 1.5 (Build 2016.2424)
It didnt work on my sprint US touch pro2 "this hot fix is not compatible with your device"

I believe this may be for GSM only, not European only as they list US and Asia download locations - I believe Sprint is CDMA and I think there is a US GSM version?
Anyhow, I cannot download from Europe 1 or 2 locales, but can from US, although when I tap on the .exe file once transferred to my device, nothing happens - anyone else experience similar?
In addition, where can I find out the version information of HTC messages so I can check my current one?
Yeah tried this yesterday and it didn't work for my VZW TP2. Hopfully we will get a compatible fix.

Naw I unsuccessfully tried to install on my GSM T-Mobile TP2. I'm curious to know are there any custom ROM's that do not have this issue.

Goto the messages tab of Sense/TouchFlo, then tap "All Messages" on bottom left, then tap "Menu" on bottom right, tap About.
EDIT: I'm using a T7381 (Telstra TP2) with HTC Stock European 2.07.401.1 WWE ROM
in my opinion the update didn't have the expected effect.
SMS is still very slow, eventually 2% faster that before...
hope they will release a fixed ROM that solves the main problems ...

That was what I was looking for but that choice is not there on mine. Exploring "Settings" then "Options" doesn't reveal anything like that either!

Europe mirrors still appear down, but once I had put the .exe file in 'my documents' of the device, not sd card, soft reset and then run it, it worked.

That would make sense as Vodafone in the Netherlands are getting them 14-15th of April.
I think the screenshot in the manual is showing an early version of the desire ROM, but was later removed. The manual doesn't seem to describe it anywhere as a feature.
There's a page on slashgear (search for Desire vs Nexus, I'm a new user so can't provide link) where somebody has left a comment suggesting that voice to text is currently exclusive to the Nexus, hence I think it was there in the desire rom but had to be disabled.

Welcome aboard!
There is a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650076 which includes a link to the video you refer to.
I cannot think any single reason why such feature is removed when it was there before.
As I understood, the voice to text is a standard feature of Android 2.1, and not HTC.
How about the past HTC android 2.1 devices such as HTC Legend?
Is it not compatible with the HTC sense UI?
Someone should try this custom HTC keyboard, it has voice-to-text and other enhancements:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
Btw, probably we need to email HTC and/or T-Mobile to have clarification about this once and for all.

I won't be surprised if this feature was disabled in HTC Desire and Legend. One reason comes to my mind is the lack of the extra mic for noise cancellation, as it must help in voice-to-text working properly in certain conditions.
Nevertheless, even if that was the case, I'm sure as soon as Desire roms start cooking, this will be the first thing we'll see.
But I am wondering how clicking on that "voice-to-text/settings" button would work? is it going to be a 2-clicks process to activate? that kind of sux!

Glad to be here! I'll be even gladder when Clove deliver my Sim free handset...
The vid in the link relates to a Nexus phone, so this muddies things a little. However, I've seen other vids from the MWC showing that the keyboard on the Desire did indeed at one point have the mic icon on it.
Some people are speculating that retail/sim only units with have the feature enabled, but I don't think that will happen. As said above, I think it was simply that even though V2T is a standard feature of Android 2.1, it probably wasn't very effective without the noise cancellation hardware.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see just how well the Desire can do this - I've seen some videos of the V2T in action on the Nexus and its quite impressive.
There are pics of an Australian delivered model (Telstra branded) here:
http://news.smarthouse.com.au/images/shared/2010032804133605702.jpg
You can see from the pic that the V2T button is definitely there.

Just tried Better Keyboard. When i press the speech button i get:

ouch, .. i hope this have nothing to do with the fact that the desire doesnt have that stupid "noise cancellation".
and on the contrary, i would be delighted if the sim free version has it xP
If the retail unlocked version does not have it, then I will be very annoyed because they advertised it:

You're right, I quote their website "Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there."

Thats bad... Perhaps its just because of the T-Mobile Rom. But even this wouldnt make any sense.

Check this out.
That one is not T-Mobile version, I guess ...
The problem here is with the T-Mobile version, which does not include the voice to text "engine".
Or probably it (the engine) is disabled ... accidentally before shipping the device.

That's why im posting it. They probably left it out on the t-mobile version..
i email HTC to ask if the voice to text feature was disabled on the Sim Free version of the Desire and this is the response i got....
Thank you for your enquiry about voice to text.
Well the device does have voice to search via Google, so it should do. The only thing is you'll probably have to install some apps from market on the Device, hope this helps..
Click to expand...

So any one with the desire ATM does the above work? (i.e voice to search) i find the answer vague so i have asked for a yes or no answer to the question i asked. i quoted the desirehtc website where it states this feature will be available.
if anyone else has emailed HTC on this subject i would be interested in the response you got.
UPDATE
HTC have now resopnded with a Simple "NO" you will have to use a 3d party App.
no voice search here.
cos it's using the HTC IME, it is missing the microphone key that you get on the Android keyboard to use the voice to text functions.
whoever answered that at HTC obviously didn't have one to hand to check and was probably looking at the nexus....
Afternoon all,
After enabling the 'Voice to Text' as shown on How To Enable Voice To Text using one of the links on page 2 I have now got Google search by voice working on a T-Mobile Desire.
You don't have to change over to using the android keyboard if you don't want to use the main voice to text functionality, but now pressing and holding the search button brings up a pop-up on screen with 'Speak Now - Google Search' and a microphone symbol.
Seems to work fine to me.
works fine for me too.
Maybe it's coming in another update, this is from the htc website desirehtc dot com
" Android 2.1...
What's that all about then?
Launched in January 2010, and known in the trade as Eclair, this is basically an update to the operating system. In laymans terms, it's a sexier looking interface. But it's not quite that simple.
Now, for example, your Wallpapers can be animated, injecting your screen with a new lease of life. This works particularly well with the AMOLED screen.
Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there. "
I'm sorry but voice search has always been there...

Cheers mate... great help, 1 more reason 2 love Desire...
Back to my orignal post.....
HTC tell me the voice - search is available by default (i.e not installing any other SW) they say it has to be enabled in settings then it work when using the search key/menu?
any one confirm this?
Actually, I also got a similar answer from HTC. I'm from Singapore though. Thus, most likely it is an unlocked version. My question was:
"Does the HTC Desire support the speech-to-text function out of the box? Does it also support AVI files? Thank You."
This is what i got.
"Thanks for contacting HTC.
For HTC Desire, it does have the function for Speech-to-text, but it doesn't support AVI file.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again."
From this reply, it seems obvious what the answer is. But the truth, from those who already got the phone, are far from it. I had specifically said out of the box. But, as told by owners, you need to download apps and everything for this function. Just FYI, I do not own the Desire...yet XD
HTC says NO! to voice enabled in default.

The people tab and the application accompanying it.
What the hell, so no serious updates for the tp2 the coming months anymore.... What a disaster -.-
So what does this update do?
The only issue I've ever had with the People Tab, is occasionally a few favorite people may disappear or be rearranged. Maybe the fix addresses that?
Hmm, I'm on the previous ROM now, but from what I remember, one of the issues was that the peoples tab inserted text in the notes section of the selected favorites. It also took quite a long time to add favorites (in fact, it took so long that Sense appeared to have stoped working), and a category "HTC Favorites" was added to the Outlook categories.
I'm assuming they fixed at least some of that.
HTC has relased an app in the marketplace called Hidden Wifi, it will allow you to add a name of a hidden SSID so that your WiFi will connect to it.
This worked perfectly on my HTC Arrive, some users report it doesn't work.

Yeah it was annoying the crap out of me as well, I have my home WiFi hidden. I was getting tired of unhidding it, then later hidding it again. I think the program allows you to name 3 hidden networks, but it works great for me.
Some others are reporting an error and they need to update software, thinking it may be an HTC only thing, so someone hopefully can do something similar for the other devices.
I want it on Omnia 7!
it is not working on my htc hd7 is requesting me to update my wifi software
i hope htc is fully aware of this
I have a tmous hd7 and I'm getting the same message as sunny.
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
in response to this. HTC also update its connection setup app yesterday.
Gotta love HTC
I would love to try this on my LG Quantum if someone could get the .xap
It just gets better!
HTC really made helpful utilities.
Is there a way to download the app on an locked HD7 phone?
On marketplace I can't find the app, but under HTC hub the hidden Wifi show's up.
when i click on the icon the discription with the commands like in market place opens but the button to download/install isn't availabel.
I'm sure that all updates are installed on my phone and I also try to flash a NoDo rom by ansar to get also latest available Radio & Bootloader versions on my phone.
After installing the rom the latest updete to 7392 pop up and is installed.
But the download of Hiddn Wifi is not possible.

It's not there on Sprint either.
I think they removed it on US versions. Not sure why. I appreciated the guest mode for when someone had to borrow your phone.
It's likely not in the US version because of http://www.google.com/patents/US20050107114

When you drop the notification, you should see your account photo in the top right corner, you tap that and it gives you the option to add a user.
