Hi all,
Got my v1605 TyTN today and unfortunately have got a problem off the bat.
No matter what I do I cannot get the jeyboard backlights to work. It matters not if the light sensor is enabled or not and as far as I can see in the manual there is no way to activate/deactivate it.
Guess it'll be going back to Vodafone on Mon
Also - noticed the owner info is no longer shown on the today screen - in fact Voda seem to have taken it over completely with no way to revert. Pity - as I LOVE the rest of the Voda customisation work - especially the phone skin.

stuff on/not on the 1605
on my number 2 device now, camera not as good but keyboard is ace and screen doesn't wander.... but i've noticed it doesn't have msn as part of the bundle as in the 9100, and if you want it it needs to be purchased off the windows.
I seem to have inhereited the 9100 '10 seconds' timeout on backlight issue from somewhere. It would be nice for it to work ok, but i'm sort of used to this happening now.
Other than that its fantastic.
Congratualtions to vodafone for swift swap out of flakey devices.

Hi guys, I just become a proud owner of Belgian Qtek s100, I've got it second-hand but still with the guaranty and in a nice state. I tested it as I could, it seemed fine but later I found a problem with saving pictures, JPEG's are saving as a bunch of coloured pixels although they looked fine right after shot. I decided to upgrade it to WWE_11200_128_11210_ship.exe from this FTP and what I got as a result:
1. Pictures are not fixed
2. Sound get worse (some buzzing, I didn't have it before)
3. Phone ring volume is not controlled by phone volume slider but by PDA one
Guys, I'm not a phone freak yet but I like that thing and I would like to fixed, here in Belgium we have no support for those Qtek's at all so if I fix it instead of sending it to a PDASHOP in Holland I will be REALLY HAPPY
Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance.
I get scared real easy, and I'm now starting to worry about the TyTn. Several people are now reporting problems with these devices, including serious hardware problems.
So please comfort me; your TyTn works just great right?........righ?
Mine is fine so far, no key problems or screen alignments only problem i have is slow access to web sites with tmobile
Cheers

This is a good idea, but unfortuntely your going to get a pretty skewed result seen how most ppl that have issues are on these boards because they want to resolve them, if your device is working fine its less likely you will be at this juncture to post 'all's well'.
It seems a massive amount of problems seem to be directed to the Vodaphone models and not necessarily the TyTN models. Also other forums arent reporting wide spread problems, and furthermore I just spoke (email) with 2 other Australians who had purchased HTC TyTNs from USA, and they havent had any issues with their devices.
I hope this information is of some comfort to you. If it helps I had the same feeling with the jasjar as it had widespread complaints, although m ainly software ones which I knew could and were addressed.
Trion ... Can't stop singing praises
Really happy with my Trion.
I had started with the original XDA which was the first one of it's kind and kind of cool but that quickly fell out of use due to the phone usability and the need to always use a stylus. I was really happy with the Smartphones as it really was usable using one hand but when the Trion came out I thought it was time to take the plunge back to a PPC, well at least as a office phone. Haven't looked back. Thejog dial button works a charm and with all the extra buttons you can actually use the Trion full time without use of the stylus. WLAN functions perfectly even with Skype. Push email functions like a charm syncing contacts and calander, tasks and email instantly (I recommend mail2web as a cheap way of implementing push email). A2DP actually works and is finally usable especially with the A2DP improvement hack. Now listening to music is crystal clear with no skipping (I'm using the Motorola HT820 which gives start stop pause functionality and with some other hacks you can program the speaker button to trigger programs such as voice command). Tomtom works fine. Definately the 400 Mhz CPU has made the Trion function well with most apps.
The size is slightly smaller than the Wizard but it actually makes a huge difference. Pictures are actually usable with 2MP and a flash light which helps a bit as well.
I finally found the perfect business phone I can use!

Mine work fine now for 3 weeks w/o any soft reset.
English version from the Netherlands
Only 2 time (in the night) he was crashed but I think it's because I use pocket wakeup.

Mine is fine (vodafone v1605) although I cant get vodafone live just a blank screen but the rest of the web is great. No Issues after a hard restet when I first got it, it seems I wasnt the first person with it as I didnt have to set it up and it had 2 minutes on the call timers. But apart from that mine works great.
hey,
i've had my v1605 for a total of 22 hours now. I got mine on a wicked upgrade deal (released from contract for free and got handset for free too)

i have mine since the 16 april and still enjoying it !
no trouble with it.
i just found that i can t get called when i use wlan connection, maybe i lost something...
(i m posting here using my SPV E650 with a wlan connection with a Orange Livebox at home)
I got the HTC S710 but I'm thinking of returning it because I managed to get deep scratches on the screen whilst taking really good care of it. And since I do more typing than dialing numbers I'll probably stick with my excalibur, because its a bit slow to change from portait to landscape when you slide the keyboard out. It was cool to be one of the first to play with it though.
I have one...trying to get blackberry connect to work
I got the HTC version of the phone.
And it keeps getting better due to the tips and tricks in this forum.
Screen no longer respond to tuch even after hard reste
if device cool down (not active) (empty or no battery) for 30 min scree will work agein for 5 - 10 min but slowly loss sensetivity agein
It start hapen sudenly after 1-2 month since i bought it
i bought the device in Russia it not officealy sold here so th only warenty i have is one Plam give to all of it devices but i wont be able to use it untill i go back to UK
I bought second device (750 as well) i had it for 3-4 monthes it works great
no problems waiting for WM6 for Unlocked Treo 750
but i still have the first treo 750 with Fu**d Up screen which sit in the box waiting till i go to UK
do u think these is software or hardware issue ?
may WM6 fix it ?
may two devices have two difrent Hardware versions the good one got hardware version "A"
Brocken screen one got "P"
any sugestions whot cen be done ?
had the same problem
Tried hard-reset, no luck. Ended up returning the device for a swap-out.
I had the same problem. Called yesterday and got replacement from ATT today. I've dome some research, it appears to be a common issue with this model, or as Vladimir and I would call it - PIZDETS.
Well, what can I say? We have to hope that Palm will eventually fix it...
Hey Guys,
I do a hard reset yesterday at my Treo 750 ---> No calibration and no response.
2h no work, it work, then after 5min tipping no work...whats that.
I buy a quality Palm????? HTC Greetings like TYTN and Trinity?
1) No ringtone
2) No response at tiping on screen
Interesting is:
- No response on the screen by tiping, but the light at the Keyboard shows tiping
- Cold=OK, warm= not OK
Send back to amazon and want a new one... hope it works

I love my Touch Pro - really I do, its got all the features I want currently (except a digital compass would be good with some AR software, but that's not important roght now).
However, having got my first TP back in February I am about to send my handset back yet again as it has died again.
The first handset had a serious problem with battery drain and switching itself on (ie screen on) when not in use - I posted here about this at the time (clicky).
The o2 UK repair centre (Anovo) first of all said they'd fixed the fault, but after two weeks the phone was doing the same again - I did confirm this was not a software issue by running it ofr two weeks without any of my usuall applications on it.
So it went back again and was returned 'No Fault Found'.
At this point I demended a replacement handset. The replacement I received (a refurbished unit) had a speaker fault - crackling whenever the speaker activated, ie before a call connected and during.
That one went back as well and I ended up with an SE X1 for a while. OK but not a Touch Pro (and wouldn't run my legitimately purchased Tom Tom Nav 5 s/w). This was because o2 UK said they had no more stock of the Touch Pro and wouldn't be getting any more (why? too many problems with it?)
Eventually I got a call from o2 after numerous letters of complaint saying that they were going to exchange the SE X1 for a brand new boxed Touch Pro.
I have had this brand new replacement since August now.
About a month ago it died on me again. It just wouldn't switch on. Disconnecting and reconnecting the battery resulted in the flash on the back flashing, the handset vibrating (as though it was starting up) but nothing else.
Connecting the charger resulted in the flash on the back flashing bright about every second.
A hard reset would not work at this stage.
After a couple of days I heard the 'battery low' sound from the drawer that it was stashed in. SO tried a hard reset again - nothing. Tried a hard reset again with the charger plugged in and it reset and cam back to life.
... for two weeks...
then it died again.
This time is very similar to last with theflash falshing thing, except that if I try a hard reset it seems to go through the motions but without the screen coming on (ie the vibration. The beeping sound. Click the volume down and it pings again as though its starting the reset, then about a minute later the vibration again as though its restarting after the reset). But the screen doesn't come on at all. And the lights don't light up on the front buttons or the keypad.
Unfortunately I didn't have myMobiler installed on the handset so I couldn't try connecting to it from my PC (myMobiler did try installing but as I couldn't click the 'OK' button it didn't complete).
So. Are my four deaths of the TP unique or has anyone else had similar problems with this handset?

Not I.
I have had my Touch Pro (AT&T's HTC Fuze) since December 2008 and I have not had a single real problem with it. I say "real" because I have had times when I couldn't get a GPS lock and of course the phone is slow sometimes, but that's what I've come to expect from HTC.

you need the 1.14.25.35 radio. and a different rom. maybe atts 5.11 rom if you want to still keep it stock. 1.14.25.35 is atts radio too so that stock and wont void your warranty as well.
Fuze Died Today, I Think
I've used this fuze since December of 2008 and have been quite pleased with the performance. (considering that it IS Windows) My signature radio works quite well in the mid west North America and travels well through different data protocols. Like H to Edge to GPRS and back to 3G again.
Today I flashed a new rom via usb and now it won't pass the splash screen. That flash appeared normal in all respects. Tried several hard resets (to the bootloader screen) and have tried to re-flash a different rom via micro sd card.
I've begun to think that this may be a hardware failure and would appreciate any advise for troubleshooting. Keep in mind that device will NOT connect via usb.
my screen went white a couple days ago. it would end up showing the windows logo for a while then a white screen. i hard reset a few times but nothing worked so i reloaded atts 5.11 rom and now it just stays at the "initial setup of the touchflo interface may take serveral minutes please wait" screen and wont get passed. i saw another thread about the white screen months back but i cant find it again. im just gonna wait till they have tilt2s and claim it under warranty. im gonna miss having flash, i use it to light up everything, but im sure a larger screen will make up for it.
Well I now have a bit more info on this since the phone cam eback from 'repair'on Saturday.
All they had done at the repair centre was to 'reload software' (their words, not mine). ie I guess they flashed the ROM again.
It worked for a day, though I guessed that was more coincidence than anything - after all, when this handset first did this a few weeks before it suddenly started working again a few days later.
Luckily in that time I'd remembere to install MyMobiler this time, and so when the screen died I connected to my laptop and fired up a remote view of the phone.
The screen itself was dead, but everything else seemed to be working on the phone - except that while the screen was dead I had an error displayed on screen. The error was "MicropERROR" as attached here.
So I Googled the error message, and what a shock a nice long thread on XDA-dev about it. Seems it s a fairly common problem with the Diamond, Touch Pro and Touch HD. Joy!
So the phone is now back with 'o2' again for another 'repair' this time with the attcahed screenshot enclosed. I have been warned again, though, that the Serra is out of stock and if they can't repir it I may have to select a substitute. As far as I am concerned there is no substitute - there is no other phone at the mo with the Touch Pro's features (hardware keyboard, VGA/WVGA screen, A-GPS, g-sensor, WinMo, runs TomTom Nav5).
I fear the worst again, and fear I'm back where I was in July with an impossible choice to make thanks to o2 UK discontinuing the Serra / Touch Pro after a few months of supplying it.

well i got my TP back in March.09 and last month i have to replace the mother board and the back speaker other than that all is good so far
but i was so frustrated with HTC support centre (which is the main one in Taiwan ) real unpleasant experience as you all may know
Cheers!
Time to send mine back
Just had an issue with my last one, it was only 5 months old and the screen started looking like it had a vertical hold issue. Just got my refurbished one in Wednesday and now it is doing the same thing after playing games on it for 5 minutes. The speaker phone is crackling too for some reason and when charging it at night it's like the screen will not fully black out. I am wondering if I even want to try another one of HTCs products or not. Nice phones but to many headaches it seems.
