Hopefully the start of MS pulling its finger out
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/default.mspx
thanks nice find
Finger scrolling is still a bit messed up though... and it's slow to update
I still find the mobile site (m.facebook.com) to be far more useful!
Just noticed something that could be a problem for some users:
While the application is running, even minimised, it uses the internet to update itself. I just noticed this as I was using the application over a wireless connection earlier this morning, then minimised it and put my phone on stand-by. I've just turned it back on to find that it had connected through my data connection (GPRS/EDGE/HSDPA etc) while my phone was off.
So just a warning - it helps itself to an internet connection while it is running

I have notice the same "behavior"
i cant seem to get it to log in!!
I'm using Dutty's XT V3.0 and under the Phone>Option>Data, there is an option to disable data connection when device enters sleep mode.
Not sure if other ROMs are having the same option..

Im getting the same issue. Uninstalled the Ather cab and installed 1.0.0.7 then restarted when prompted. The app loads without issue however I also cannot login.
Device seems to crash and then is incredibly sluggish from there (even after killing the app)
Anyone else seen this on the touch HD and know if there is a fix?
I've been trying this for a few days....and to be honest...I can't see the point of it. I left it running in the hope that it would update itself and alert me of new messages etc..but it doesn't. Even if I exit and restart the app, I still have to tell it to refresh by clicking the refresh button.
using the facebook site via IE or opera is still much better and quicker.
i have thought the same - m.facebook.com is easy and works.
One of the key things it misses as well is the lack of profile photo changes
If they can get this sorted, auto updates etc then it may be worth using but for the moment its gone.
Seems a bit pointless. The only plus side that I can see is being able to upload photos and videos.
There are problems reading comments left on your status... or at least I cant see an obvious way to read them.
The webpage is just so much cleaner.
For thos who can't login...
I have updated my Stock ROM 1.14 to stock 1.56 and now Facebook Official works (previous versions worked on previous ROM).
I haven't noticed major bugs - only scrolling as was mentioned here is ery slow and refresh times....

Sopis - Im running 1.56.405.1 WWE and this still gives me the same login error message....
I too had Facebook-Ather (0.16) installed, i uninstalled it and installed the microsoft facebook cab 1.0.0.7... i get stuck at the login, after typing in my username/email and password, as soon as i press 'Login', the app pretty much stops responding. Then as someone said above, if i close the app the device is very laggy and responsiveness is almost non existant (and even if I manage to get myself to launch cleanRAM, the device is still poor.)
I suppose we need to wait for Service Pack 1 then? lol.

Thanks I do switch back and forth sometimes but I prefer the regular one... the iPhone one just seems less "practical" in the sense that all these status updates and things are like pop-ups... The thing with me is, once I'm used to something, I'm a difficult one to change
Is anyone else having this issue yet? I have asked this on the rom development page and it seems that I may be the only one experincing this.
I have NRG's 10\28 rom loaded and I have removed many of my installed programs and I can not get the Office programs to load quickly. I have Nrg's rom 10\17 or so loaded on my wife's phone but hers doesnt seem to be doing this.
I am suspecting that it is something that I am installing that is doing this but I am not sure.
I have even downloaded the office 2010 beta today and it stil does it.
It does stop doing it for about a half a day if I reboot many times till it behaves, but then after about a half a day, it is back to taking more than 60 seconds to open word or excell, then about 20 ot 25 seconds to close it.
Any ideas??
Thank you all for looking at this.
Jeff
Takes no more than a few seconds max on my Tilt 2, I don't know man.
Same porb here, i dont think its a ROM issue as it did the same thing on most of the roms i flash. i just thought i was a WM thingi, and the worst part is it takes near 10 sec to open a NEW word doc..

Finally, someone else is also having this issue.
I have a slightly older version of the Energy rom on my wife's phone and hers is always fast to open.
I have been uninstalling programs one by one to see if one of them is affecting it.
What I have found is that as I install a couple, it will start working good, then a a few hours later, it goes to 1 min to open again.
And I am not even opening a file, just click on the excell icon, so that eliminates the bad file thing.
I will let you know what I find.
So do you have many apps installed? I have a lot, to many to mention here at this time, but if you only have a few, please list them and I will see if there are any in common between us.
Thanks,
Jeff
I had this problem on my AT&T Tilt 1 a long time ago. I was able to isolate the cause of the problem to sending/receiving Email over mobile data (wouldn't happen if the update was via wifi). Unfortunately the only thing that solved my problem was a hard reset .

interesting you mentioned wifi, i just observed today that it does not take a long time to open when i am on wifi, then i switched to no wifi, and it was taking lont time to open excel.
turned wifi back on and sure enough, excell opened quickly.
i then turnrd off my wifi network plugin, (disabled my map network drive) and now it seems to be opening excell just fine reguardless of wifi or not.
i will continue to test this ane report back.

Office Mobile looks for any files of the appropriate type (e.g., *.doc files for Word) on your device to open prior to loading. Before reading this last comment I was going to suggest removing your storage card, but if you have network drives mapped it's probably attempting to reach those while loading but timing out if they're not available.

So as long as I dont have my "enable Network Folder" clicked on the HTC's Network Plugin, it all works good. As soon as I click that, and enable the network folder, then it takes forever to open office unless I have the wifi turned on.
Man I have been fighting this for months, not sure if it was a rom thing or something that I was intalling.
I hope that others who have this issue can find this post and fix thier stuff too.

I'm 25, a business guy (though I use my phone for personal use only) and have been looking over the forums for the best way to get the most use out of my phone. Right now I've just got the stock rom with only a couple of cabs installed. I've got my e-mail set up on it (though I have some issues with the send/receive not occurring when it's supposed to) and installed a few games. What I really want to be able to do with my phone is web surfing. There's some website I like to frequent.. a lot.. but it seems with the stock settings the internet is pretty slow. I do a lot of texting and e-mail replies as well. A few free games here and there would be nice too. I'm in a pretty stable 3G area, don't have any bluetooth devices hooked up nor do I use the wi-fi (haven't found a reason to use this really yet)
Looking through the forums I've gotten somewhat overloaded as to what I should get for my phone in terms of performance enhancements. Any suggestions to help with the above would be great.
note: I've never messed with my phone's registry or have flashed a rom, but would be willing to do so if the information could be provided.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Demonic, welcome.
I'll break it down based on what you need and where you can find it.
E-mails:
I really really really like seven beta for e-mails. I've posted the CAB here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634213
Internet:
TP2 has a feature called push internet, basically you can set websites to be automatically updated so the next load will be much faster. Browse to the internet tab in sense and set up the websites you frequent most often. I've heard it wastes battery life so I do not use it.
In terms of internet speed, I actually think we aren't full 3g on TP2 network. Here are the specs of the TP2 and a phone with full 3g. As you can see under data the tp2 is not the fastest available device:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Touch-Pro2-CDMA-phone-p_3710.html
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/Palm-Pixi-Plus-phone-p_4308.html
its the same for all carriers btw.
Flashing rom/registry
Based on the overview you have given I would say registry tweaks and flashing a custom ROM isn't needed, although I love Mighty Mikes 6.5 much better than VZWs.
If you have more detailed questions feel free to PM me.
Thanks for the quick reply! I'm downloading seven now and will give that a shot!

Thanks for those links. I installed Seven and love the push feature that it gives for my e-mail. It works like a charm, however there's an issue I'm running into. It seems that in order for Seven to work it needs to stay running constantly, and it won't let me close it. I'm also now having issues closing any other app that I run by holding down the "X". Between these two issues, and my phone not going into sleep mode as much as it should be my battery is already down to 30% (and it's not even 5pm yet =/)

I've heard push internet can really tax on the phones battery life, not sure if you are using that feature though.
Seven works perfectly fine for me having it running all day...I went a full 24 hours and was at 30%, I have 4 e-mail accounts synced through Seven.
Do you know what your phone RAM idles at? Try downloading and installing SSK TP2 Dynamic Resource proxy, it may help out with some of your problems.
I'm not sure what the closing issue is...could just be that your phone is using too much RAM, which the SSK cab should fix.
SPB mobile shell 3.5 is the best program for nonROM Cookers. Here is the link. Download the trial and PM me.
I use it the backup and various other things I found on here.
The SMS notification is a major annoyance so download the cab to disable it.
After you use your phone for a while- trust me, XDA will become a favorite to find tweaks to make your phone seem new again.
Demonic, based on the fact that you like to use the internet a lot I would highly recommend moving to a cooked rom when you feel comfortable. At&t doesn't open up the phones true potential with their "stock" rom. It's locked to 3G and a cooked rom will activate HSDPA which will double or triple 3G speeds. I can sustain download speeds over 2000kbps. Also the whole phone will be much more responsive.
There's a bit of reading needed and a learning curve but I'm sure you can handle it. I'd never even knew what flashing was in the fall of 08' and a year later I had flash my Fuze at least a 500 times. I've had the Tilt2 since Nov and it's been flashed over 50 times already
Here's a link to get started.

After reading that if you have any questions ask them here and if it's not me here 1st I'm sure you'll still find all the help you need. There's a lot on talented people here on xda.
BTW, SPB Mobile Shell:
http://www.spb.com/products/mobileshell/
Its a great product with many intuitive features...for me it required a restart everyday though....which wasn't acceptable.
So now I'm having some issues with Seven... I have a good 3G signal, have restarted the phone multiple times, but it will only stay connect for a short time. When I go into the Seven settings I'm seeing a yellow broken symbol for the connection. I have to manually refresh all the data for the e-mail account in order for it to update. Some times it works great, others.. not so much.

What ROM's would you recommend for faster internet usage? Do they drastically change the appearance of the phone and/or do they inhibit some of the features?

No, most ROMs will be fairly similar, with minor visual changes, some feature changes, and different programs installed by default (usually the chefs favorite programs)

With Seven, make sure you don't have quite time on. In seven, hit the Menu soft key (bottom right) and click general settings. Then click the quiet time option and set the hours you do not wish to receive messages.
I think if you paid for the old version of Mobile Shell you can get the new version as well, try e-mailing one of the devs over there to help you out.

I have all of the quiet times turned off except for when roaming or low battery. When I unplugged my phone from the charger this morning it updated my e-mails like it normally does. I checked my phone again around 9:30 and the Seven settings said that it was last connected at 8:30 this morning and showed the "not connected" symbol. I had to manually refresh all data in order for it to re-connect.
If your mailserver supports IMAP I would try Schedhandler made by Camro on these forums it does IMAP IDLE great and doesn't hardly use any battery.
So I noticed Seven losing the connection again today. I then went to my connection settings and attempted to disable Data Connection. When I attempt to do this it automatically connects again. When I then go back to Seven it shows that it's trying to re-establish a connection and MAY connect.
Does anyone know why my e-mail will sometimes stay connected and then drop off irregularly?
@dalavar
I've tried many different settings (POP3 and IMAP4) using the basic MMS functions with windows 6.5 but have had issues receiving e-mails on a regular update basis. I had the same isssue with 6.1. Some times e-mails will work properly, other times I have to reboot my phone, or pray for my e-mails to receive. Even after doing a Send/Receive I still won't get e-mails on my phone at times.
I'm using sbcglobal for my e-mail, but if this keeps up I'm thinking of switching back to hotmail or gmail =/

Actually, I'm really surprised no one's been able to do a registry hack in terms of the HSDPA function.
And yeah, I agree...there's some really good chef's with cooked ROMs that blow the Death Star's crap and crippleware laden ROM to "Hades in a Longaberger". Unfortunately I've not had my phone 30 days yet, so I'm a little hesitant to flash yet. (even though I flashed my Kaiser/Tilt quite regularly once it was out of warranty)
As soon as the 30 days expire though...you bet it's gonna get flashed.

Go to your browser and type "about:config".
Find your connections and up them, the stock is like 4 connections and 6 max. I changed them both to 128 and change the page update delay to 0.

See if another email provider has this problem. I currently am connecting to the following and have experienced no errors since install:
Exchange Server
Y! Mail
gmail
POP3
Seems to be sbc related as both seven and your normal mail have issues connecting.
Sorry for the late response. SchedHandler seems to handle misconfigured or poorly configured IMAP servers very well you might want to give it a shot on your SBC account. And the author of the program is very active and makes changes sometimes daily.
My browser will only let me open 4 pages. Why is this, any ideas? To prevent excessive memory usage?
I remember reading somewhere that it has something to do with how thumbnails are displayed.
The only way around it is installing an alternative browser like Opera Mini, Dolphin, Steel, etc.
Though I don't see why would you need more that a couple of tabs open on a phone.
Well I do seem to need more than 4 tabs open, just habit I suppose...
I have used Steel and Dolphin before, but I'm really liking the built-in browser, apart from a couple of niggles - the second one being that when long-pressing a link (to bring up the "open in new window" menu), half the time it launches the text highlighting tool :-(
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

I'm also finding that after browsing for a while, the browser will refuse to open a new page at all, it seems to start loading the new page, then stops loading part-way through.

This problem is now starting to really bug me.
I'm browsing for half an hour or so, and then the browser will just freeze up, and refuse to completely load the current page, links won't work, bookmarks won't open. Clearing the cache doesn't fix the problem, and since there's no way to exit the browser then I'm having to reboot the phone.
Anyone else suffering this way?

Hi
I have the similar issue, but it appears only when I switch from Wifi to mobile connection. The only solution I've found is kill browser. Can you please check if it's the same at your side ? if yes it's propably bug in web browser app, because market and everything else is working fine.

No, it's happening to me whether I'm on wifi or 3G (and not switching between the two). I don't have a task manager installed to kill the browser, so I'm having to reboot. Very annoying.
Also another persistent problem is that sometimes the browser will just quit with no warning, when clicking links. It's happened about 6 or 7 times, during (estimated) 4 or 5hrs browsing. When you restart the browser any open windows you had are gone.
I'm not at all impressed with the lack of stability of this browser. I know I could use Steel or Dolphin (with no Flash) instead.
I'm getting a replacement tomorrow, due to the "pink screen" issue, so I'm hoping this handset I have now is just a lemon.
Sadly, I'm thinking maybe they will all be the same. These issues, along with the poor calibration/recognition of where my finger is on the touchscreen sometimes, and the lack of a physical keyboard, are starting to make me re-think my decision about getting this phone.
Even more sadly, my friend's iPhones are looking increasingly more and more attractive :-(
If you don't mind for not having Flash (like iPhone), then you can download "Opera Mini 5" from the Market.
It is much faster and probably will give you better browsing experience.
I am using it for my WM device for years and cannot live without it.
The speed is just so damn fast!

Hello everybody,
got this mobile a few months ago, latest Android officially available release, only thing I did was rooting and adding some software, I use it as a second device mostly to check email and online services, I use my other smartphone as a phone and for calendars, phonebook and notes.
I noticed that the device all of a sudden restarts without me doing anything, my son (who uses Android since longer than me but who doesn't really know much about it...) said it could be the heat (it's always in the shade) or too many options on (wi-fi in primis) but I checked and there are just a few apps running (mail, phone, phonebook, sometimes Instagram), what can I check to find how does it restart without any notice or action from me?
Thank you
soory
I had an issue where my Note 2 would randomly reboot, I also had an issue where my power button was dodgy.
What it ended up being was the ribbon for the power button, got this replaced, and this fixed my dodgy power button issue, as well as the random reboots.
I paid to get this done in a shop, but it seems you can do this yourself.
Sorry i can't post links - hope this makes sense

Of course, your problem might be different

Dear Giuann
What you are experiencing is know as SOD (silence of death) on our Android World
If your phone is rooted and you have custom Kernel then it would be due to the kernel... change your kernel to stock or a more stable one as per your device.
If you have a stock kernel... then clean your cache.. etc.. or better reflash stock ROM...
alternately use Betterbattary stats to identify if you have any rogue application which is causing issues...
I have experience this issue when I did rooting.. re root it with the correct method....
I did only root it as to install software I download from the internet, everything is as it originally was, ROM is the stock one.
Which are the steps to perform to clean the cache and to check if some app is making the OS crash?
Thank you
