Help! i think i have a bad device

Hi
i have been getting trouble with my TP2 , since no1 reacted on my previoous post i decided to do a hard reset, i figured the "turn off" on moving back the keyboard under the screen, hoping to reset any things that might cause this. as it can just be a bad device and now i most likely need another
Or can it be a virus? i installed some cabs that were floating around on this forum and after some time i got the issue , when moving back from landscape to portrait , the device turns off instantly
what can this be?
advice needed

i supose this happens when you have keyboard open and close to go back to potrait. yep dodgy or faulty device........... i'd return it. ribbon fault i'd say mate. no virus would do that to phone. return it for a new one and tell them its a faulty ribbon. unfortunately these things do happen.
now have you installed g-sensor or flip it? if this happens with keyb closed then its something you did or installed or not set right!

i have not installed those last 2 programs
programs isntalled were
Facebook app
coreplayer
NFS underground
and some theme cabs
well tomorrow first thing il go and try to get a new one
ribbon fault your saying? what is that if I might ask?
il be sure to notify them
thanks for your quick reply

these have nothing to do with htc touch pro2 itself dude!
it's about the rom you installed in it,so pls return to your technician to get a good rom!
it's like you have super good pc,but the windows xp you installed is crap,then your pc will always get this problem and that......
FYI: rom means: OS(wm 6.5 for example)+Radio(GSM etc)+Extrom(touchflo 3d etc)

Time Zone problem

Recently I just update to the unofficial official T-mobile 6.5 rom. For some reason every time after soft reset, it always ask to pick a time zone before boot into TF3D. It gets quiet annoy after a while. I tried disable the automatic update timezone in phone settings but every soft reset the check mark comes back there. Does any body knows the solution to this problem? Thanks

yea i get that "most times" too its a pain ..
but sometimes it dont do it .. I dont know whats causing it yet .. will update
If I find how to fix it.

That is a ROM related issue, I eliminated with installing another ROM.
And don´t forget to vote for Rhodium!

Is there any way to fix it from registry or it must need another rom?

well I tried several things ...

I've been having the same problem, tried the advanced config and that didn't work.

yeah I can't figure this one out

I'm having the same issue with the official 6.5 T-Mobile US ROM. It doesn't happen every time I soft-reboot, but it happens most times. Annoying.

I end up flash to a new rom to fix this..

I had the same problem, but just today I realized it wasn't happening, but I be it will start again. Anyway, this guy seemed to have fixed this issue:

Thank you for that link. The cab file posted seems to have done the trick. And thanks a million times to Warlock for making the discovery and creating the cab file.

Same thing for me. For a while it wouldnt even hold my time zone. Kept moving me back to Arizona. I used Advanced Config and restored all defaults. Still get the time zone prompt on every soft boot but atleast it keeps me in Colorado now.

\m/ just ran through the thread above. Used cab2 and no more nagging time zone! You the man thanks!

Looks a good fix, but I wonder if I happen to travel to a different time zone will this fix makes my phone stay with the original time or will time still update as usual?
I have found in general that screen goes away on its own giving enough time. Also if I'm in an open area (easier access to satellite for location info) it doesn't come back.

I am wondering the same thing here.

Home screen loading

Hello.
I have had my One X since its release and have had no problem with it. But now all of the sudden the homescreen has started loading all the time.
At one point today it loaded every singel time I backed out of the browser with the home button. Is there any fix to this other than a factory reset and hoping for the best?
thanks!

Did u change any seting in developer options? Namely the "dont keep activities". If so, uncheck it.

Developer options, don't keep activities.
Tick it, back out, go back, untick it. Job done.

thanks for your suggestions, but it did not solve the problem...

A simple restart of your phone should fix it.

Try check your RAM usage. If the RAM usage high this might be the problem.
Cause i had this problem also. I remove some games that use high volume of RAM and reset the phone. And the problem solve...

if you have rooted your phone try going to cwm and go to advance and fix permissions....

For some reason im constantly using over 800mb of ram, but nothing is using anywhere close to that... No root, and I would really love to not have to do a factory reset, tried removing some games and stuff now. But if it dosent help, its factory reset next

that worked

That seems to have worked for me, at least for the time being. Thanks. Now I just need Root and a tasty rom.

This worked for me! Cache may be the issue.
Download and install Android Assistant. Go to tools/cache cleaner/ and clear the cache. Then click the monitor tab and click the quick boost button. Bingo, problem solved for me at least and for a while I guess that's is until the cache gets full again. Good luck.

It worked for me

Thanks. IT worked for me. I unchecked "dont keep activities" and now my home screen is back to normal.

I have exactly the same issue. My RAM gets full and it keeps restarting apps. When I push the home button it looks like home screen restarts and needs to load again. Verry annoying! Tried the developper setting thingy now. Did already a factory reset but the problem was there again after a week or so.

WARNING: Talkback feature

I was fiddling with my phone settings and testing a few features. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT ENABLE THE TALKBACK FEATURE.
After enabling this feature, my phone began to freeze on every screen while the voice assistant keeps speaking as I try to press anything on the screen. The entire phone just bugs out. Can't swipe or scroll. Can't select anything. Can't get to the settings to disable the talkback feature because I can't scroll. Can't do anything basically.
So, here I am with a brand new unusable HTC One M8. This is my 2nd NEW HTC One M8 that has defective software. My first one couldn't read any SIM cards after 3 new SIM cards were attempted by a T-Mobile rep.

Try factory reset.

Can't. As I mentioned, I cannot swipe or scroll. Factory reset requires scrolling to 'Factory Reset'. Not only that, I cannot select anything unless I get "lucky". The phone doesn't do anything I want it to do. I have a vid of the issue but I can't link it to this thread because I'm a new user.
If you have an HTC One M8, you can test this feature yourself and let me know if you run into the same problem but I warn you... if you run into the same problem, you will need to get it replaced and your phone won't work. Would be nice to know if this is a common problem but I'm not sure people are willing to take that chance and basically break their phone on purpose. It's like telling someone to press the big red self-destruct button to see what happens lol.

Factory reset from the bootloader..... and talk back works fine. And if it does fail on my phone i re install my rom, i love my unlocked, s-offed M8. Makes it all so easy

How do I do that exactly?
Wish I could show you the vid, then you'll understand exactly how impossible it is to do anything.

Nvm, I figured out how to factory reset when powering it on. I guess my Talkback feature is just unusable?

Sorry, I think you're misunderstanding my previous explanation. I cannot swipe nor can I scroll. I cannot select anything. The entire phone becomes bugged/glitched. You'd be amazed if you could watch the short video I made of it. It's more extreme than you think. Everything just goes haywire.
I'd like to say I'm a very tech savvy person since I do a lot of computer-related design, I can build computers, troubleshoot viruses, clean my registry, and "techie" things. I'm not just some average consumer who bought a phone and doesn't know how to use a smart phone. I'm very proficient with smartphones. With that said, there is seriously something wrong with the Talkback function. Enabling it almost feels like a virus is attacking the OS. I honestly don't need to use that particular function but what if one day I do or someone else might need to use it.
I actually got a new replacement yesterday and I'm not even going to touch that function whatsoever until I find some answers and a possible solution. I have everything synced to my new phone with my contacts, multiple email accounts, apps, social media, etc. and I'm not going to risk running into that problem and being forced to factory reset my phone. If you know the pain of having to reinstall your OS on a PC which I've done dozens of time throughout the years then you'll understand how painful that process really is because you have to reinstall all your software again.
I found another bug on my new phone as well and made a thread about it already. +/- for Selfie Mode doesn't work. Just greaaaaaat.

u need to use 2 fingers when scrolling

LOOOOL...ROFLLLLL...
I remember the first time I ever turned talkback on. "Panic" should be included as an official feature. Obviously, like our friend here, I didn't bother to read all the operational instructions that came with it, and thought for sure I had killed my phone.
Hint: you really have to use "2 fingers" to go anywhere!
Cheers

Question Notification bar trouble?

So.. recently i've got this problem where i can't pull my notification bar when you on other apps. But, if you're on homescreen, you can pull notification bar with no problem at all. Another weird thing is, you can pull the notification bar when you put your phone on landscape mode. Been asking this problem on local Poco Community but none of the tips works. Been looking on website, and it state you can fix this by resetting the system settings (not full factory reset). Sadly, I can't find that option on my Poco F3. Only total factory reset
Since you can only attach picture here. I'll put the video link below , hope you guys can see the problems easier
Detailed Problems
Thanks a lot!

Thanks, but sry, been tryin that too. Restarting the phone not helping at all. Been tryin almost all the tips, except factory reset which i avoid. I think this is a bug, since it was fine before. The phone didn't even fall, turned of, etc. It just.. instantly went like this

Are you using a glass protector? It can mess with the gestures sometimes if it is not applied correctly. Also, try pulling down from as high up as you can. Also try changing to the old control center style and see if that works.

Didn't use any. Been trying pulling up. It miracly fixed around 11AM without doing anything. And now 10PM it started to happens again. This bug really feustate me

I think you will have to back up your data and do a factory reset. If that doesnt work, i would suggest unlocking your bootloader and installing a custom rom like xiaomi.eu if you like miui or crdroid/evolution x if you prefer an AOSP based rom. That will probably fix it for you. If you are not familiar with the whole custom rom scenario and dont want to take any risks, just take it to a xiaomi store and see what they can do.
