The green calling button no longer activates Cprog.exe from homescreen. However (and here's the really interesting part) if I'm opening something... say... word, note pad, contacts, ie, etc. and I press the green calling button, everything works fine. Any clues? O, and I WAS tweeking some stuff with reg edit to try and make this thing run faster. My page file is 6mb but it was working perfectly before I started tweeking it further. I have NO IDEA what went wrong.
O and one more thing... how do I get rid of the myFaves in settings? I've managed to eliminate the rest of Tmobile stuff.
O and getting rid of active sync on startup would be an extra ><
Thanks!
Just to clarify my first post, by "opening" I mean have it opened and focused.
Ok... nvm... did a hard set and re edited everything and now everything is smooth as silk.

So i've been having this problem for a while...
I installed Calligrapher, TenGO, Happy Keyboard... but besides the first time I start it up, I can never get it to activate. It always defaults back to the keyboard.
I have plenty of memory free (15 megs), nothing is started, If i launch any of the input methods as the first thing after a softreset, it'll sometime work. Otherwise, i can never get it to run. I figure it's a memory issue, but I really do have more than 10 megs free at any given time...
the HTC Phonepad works fine, same with block recognizer...
Anyone else run into a problem like this?

Same happened to me today with TenGo. Try opening the Tengo in Word, then it will work OK.
That didn't help at all.. No matter what application is running, It always opens the default keyboard instead.
I think i found out a possible issue: If i removed all the third party today screen plugins (i have pocket weather, phone alarm, calendar, and tasks), and only have calendar and today, then soft reset, I have a pretty good chance in starting calligrapher and tengo immediately after the softreset. But once I turn on phone alarm and pocketweather, calligrapher gets all slow and laggy and I can't enable calligrapher or tengo after a softreset.
So these today plugins are conflicting somehow... I dunno how since I still see 15+ megs available RAM on the device regardless of how many plugins I have enabled...
anyone have any insight?
i had similar prob. as well, there is some prob with loading try to put SIPz in startup folder. google it.
I had a similar problem, i fixed it by using the attached file. Install the cab, go to programs -> Im Selector -> choose default keyboard and restart.

is it working on wm6?
Ok, look, I've searched and scoured and repeated until I'm pissed beyond belief. My NATF Manila2D ROM was boogying right along just freaking fine until I installed KaiserTweak and now it's all effed to Hell and back.
SOMEONE EXPLAIN?!
Sorry to be so ill but I've noticed it's happened with NUMEROUS Manila2D ROMs and it's pissing me off to constantly have to reflash (I didnt really realize that was the issue until now.)
Basically, I install KaiserTweak, OPEN KaiserTweak, CLOSE KaiserTweak (doesnt matter if ANY changes are made by the user, ie me) then soft reset. Upon reboot, the p.o.s TouchFlo engages and the BOOM! I get the lovely Black Screen of Death: PPC Edition. Once TouchFlo loads, it shows the Message tab but WITH NO FREAKING OTHER TABS!! *fumes*
It shows a pretty black blankness where the Manila interface should be and "All Messages" and "Menu" where the soft keys aught to be.
I'm bloody sick and tired of reflashing my stuff. *seriously pissed*
The easiest thing is to just NOT install KaiserTweak BUT I would like to know any way AROUND this cursed p.o.s. conflict.
I've attached a screen shot of the issue. Maybe a picture will help clarify why I'm so ill.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. Forgive me if it's some simple tweak I have to engage to fix this. I've just tried everything that I know and I'm really just ill that I've sat here and fought with this thing to no avail...Thanks again, folks.
False Alarm! =D
Ok, sorry for the freak out. Pretty much I uninstalled every customization tool I had (even though everything was cool until KaiserTweak effed it up) and now it's back to normal =]
If anyone has any ideas as to what setting is actually corrupting my interface (as no one else seems to be having this issue or at least not reporting it) then letting me know would be greatly appreciated. I love my customization tools but not if they're gonna conflict and break my phone =[
Btw, NATF has some of the best ROMs IMHO =D
Going back to loving my ROM now lol
Thanks guys!
One More Piece of Info for the Road
So I just went back and I figured out that if I take the Messaging tab off in the Tab Settings that everything is ok but if I put it in (which I really dont have to have so it's ok, would be nice though) then it effs it back up to that black screen that I originally freaked about.
Like I said, everything was ok until KT. =[
Maybe that weirdness will help.
Here's to hoping.

Okay this is the first time I've used a 6.5 rom ([13/June/09] X2H'S WM6.5 Designers ROM(D.R) - [BETA2] - {Build 21812}) and the word completion was totally crazy so I went to the tab and unchecked all of the boxes. It, or something else that tries to assist me with typing, is still making me crazy. I still see it underlining words as I type them in Internet Explorer and when I hit space, it usually puts in two spaces. Sometimes it puts in spaces in the middle of words while I'm typing them. In Slick, when I hit the space bar it pauses for about one second or maybe even a little bit longer. If I type normally I get one to four more letters of the next word typed and then it pops back to the beginning of the word for the rest of it, which turns everything to gibberish unless I wait for the space to appear after each and every word I type. It's driving me totally crazy! Can someone provide an explaination for this? (Appologies for double posting, but I thought I might get more help with a fresh topic if it's a general WM6.5 issue, which it seems like it probably is)
I had the same problem previously, as i am using the same rom.. But after i hard resetted my device it started working normal again.. Try unticking the boxes in the input settings second tab.. Or even so try upgrade the rom to beta 4.. I think the problem has been fixed in this update.
Regards
Unchecking all the boxes made it screw up. It works much better with all unchecked except "Enable Auto Correct". I've been told it's a build issue so I'm going to check out 21815 but I suspect I'm going to end up using ham3r's vanilla rom (21502) so I only have the programs I use.
Hmm... for me it works great though .. have u tried reflashing.. or hardreset?
so basically i haven't had any problems with the phone yet, i switched it off last night, got up this morning and switched it on and it froze on the black screen where it's supposed to say 'loading touchflo 3d' or something? i don't think it actually reaches that part though. i can see the start button, icons, and bottom menu but it's frozen. everytime i restart this happens now. what should i do :/
edit: is there any way of retrieving my contacts (if i can't actually load into windows)? ..before hard resetting
nevermind i'm too impatient, did the hard reset and the device seems to be working fine so far
Yeah theres a website through Microsoft...its in beta but works..
It allows you to backup all your contacts, emails, txts, pictures etc to your microsoft hotmail storage....

Hope that helps for future issues.
The MR2 update is out on the PCD site. Looked in some of the forums and nobody has mentioned it. Anyone install yet? I'm still downloading. Hoping for an updated Sense at least. PCD site only mentions a general update for VZNavigator, Contact Cards and Time Stamp.
Edit: I've downloaded and run the update and now I'm stuck at the starting HTC screen (now green letters on white) with the version numbers in red in bottom left. I've re-booted and sticks at the same place.
I'm having the same problem. I've heard you can go back to the MR1 update. Also, sounds like people who unlocked their phones are the ones having the issue. Anybody else have any info?

However there is a problem with the update. You will need to relock it apparently to load it. Here is what they found:

I also cannot boot the mr2 update. However, I dumped the rom, and rebuilt it using the boot.rgu from the MR1 update, and also removing the OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL module from the XIP. After flashing it did boot correctly.
I'm going to now try a straight dump and rebuild to see if it is just something in their updater thats causing the issue.
Yep, It is the boot.rgu and the OEM_FLASHDRV_1.DLL that's causing the problem!"
It is Sense 2.5, as I mentioned back in March.
One thing I noticed, is that my customized taskbar doesn't work correctly on this ROM. Some icons remain stock while others change. Some DLL's have changed names I guess.
They also mentioned that the task manager is gone, does that mean that I cant choose what to close and when to close it now?
p-
I got it last night but haven't had a chance to check it out.
You were right Brent!
I forgot about loosing the HTC taskbar. Looking forward to finally be able to add customs tabs now that I have HTC sense 2.5.
I'm having a problem getting my phone re-locked. I've gone back to the stock ROM, but when I try to run the RhodiumW_SPLRelocker_063.exe nothing happens. Any suggestions or can anyone point me to a thread that can help? Thanks!
UPDATE Sorry I'm a dufus, forgot to run it As Admin

I thought you were the one that said we would get it cause you saw at Verizon or something? If not nevermind lol.
Thanks I will check out that task manager.
One more thing, is their a cab to add appointments to home tab? I know there is cookie (which I did check out) but I really just want appointments without all the extra stuff. Thanks!

I really don't know. I am not upgrading until I find a solution to getting a programs tab that actually works.
I had mentioned in a comment over at WMExperts that the taskmanager is gone... I now realize that you have to go into the All Programs to launch it, which is a drag. I miss the one on the top-right built in to the title bar
I added taskmanager to the quick links so it'll do but I'd really prefer the old one. I also miss the appointments on the homescreen. Boot time is even longer, but flipping through emails, photos and appointments in much snappier. I really enjoy the HTC Peep Twitter tab. The settings tab makeover is well appreciated too.
Overall, I really like this update though
I noticed some slow down with peep so I took it off. It was cool to have it right there but I will stick with the awesome moTweets. Too bad you couldn't add that to a tab.
edit: I do like that it locks now when I hit standby button. No more calling people by accidently (or less frequently).
htc task manager can be added so that the top right arrow is there again. It is attached to the following thread a few times. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=125428
Hey guys Mr. X over at PPCGeeks went through and fixed the MR2 VZW Update...go to PPCGeeks website (or MightyROM website) to download it..
Did they put the good soft keyboard with the 'control' key back in this rom?
I installed MR2 yesterday and everything went fine. Until it came to running for a few hours. When the phone first boots up, everything's great, but after about an hour, it just slows to a crawl. None of the animations are smooth, just recently it took five minutes to flip from one text message to another. But, that hasn't really been so bad as about every other time I go to turn the screen back on, it just doesn't turn on and the only thing I can do is pull the battery.
Yeah, the quick links are nice, the new settings page is great and the email/text message pages flip in the same direction (seriously, who missed that in MR1?) but I went from having a nice, reliable, snappy phone, to a brick of **** that I can hardly stand to use.
I'm going back to MR1.
I was running a custom ROM on Verizon TP2. I first tried to installed the MR2 ROM and as others have said it hung on bootup. I held vol down while pressing reset and the bootloader screen will come up and if you are connected to the PC will go in to USB mode. I ran Task29 which uploaded fine but the TP2 still hung on bootup. I then went to the bootloader screen again and ran the re-lock utility over at PPCGeeks. Tried to book and still hung. Went in to bootloader again and this time reran the MR2 installed which worked and finally it boot all the way up. I still did a clear memory 1234 and everything again booted up with no problems.
I am concerned about the guy above who reported that it would slow to a crawl but many that's a result of not running Task29? Hard to imagine such a fundamental problem. I mean, I don't doubt that it happened but I can't imagine that it will happen on all installs. I just installed mine a few hours ago so I guess I'll know by tomorrow.
Good luck!!

This is/was a "clean" phone. never unlocked, no custom roms, just straight from Verizon to me to MR2 so running task29 doesn't seem necessary.
shrug. when I get some free time next year, I'll call vzw and ask them wtf happened.
