Anyone experience the following problem ?
I tap onto the "Contact" button at the main screen and instead of showing me all my contact numbers, it was all blank. I fired up the HTC Cube and surprisingly, all my phone numbers that are stored under the "Favorite Contact" were all missing! There were no numbers/pictures. I had to do a soft reset and then all my contacts are back again. But I had to manually add all my favourte contacts back in to the Touch Cube again. This happened twice to me.
Another issue is that when i press the "Contact" button at the main screen, usually my contact list will appear and then on the right side it shows the alphabetical order right ? Just like the following :
#
A
B
C
D
E
.
.
.
.
Z
Today, it somehow disappeared. Did i disable it or anything ? Is it possible to disable ?
I noticed that my contacts disappeared whenever I disconnected from the Internet. This was because Windows Live Synch Options were configured to "As Items Arrive" and I also synchronized my contacts directly from Hotmail. After I changed the Sync frequency to "Every 15 minutes" my TC was much faster and contacts stayed in the contact list everytime I was offline. Don't know if this is the problem in your case but hope it helps.
Hmn.. I don't think thats my problem because I don't synchronize my contacts directly from hotmail.
Anyway, thanks for responding still!
Under contacts, go to
Menu > options
The first option is "Show alphabetical index".
Make sure it's UNCHECKED. This should bring the HTC random access back (the grey alphabetical strip).
If it's already unchecked, check it, go back to contacts and then repeat the process, unchecking it this time.
Good luck.
Ok.. that works... but how come it happened it the first place ? I didn't check it. It just disappear.

Genius, fixed it for me, thanks
i have the same problem with the alphabet scroll bar. sometimes when i open contacts from the contacts soft key it appears as a nomal scroll bar i do a soft reset and its back to normal. not sure why it disappears though.
Yeah I've seen the alphabet scroll bar disappear before, haven't noticed a pattern yet. I didn't need to soft reset to get it back though, not 100% sure so don't quote me.
Polaris - Touch Cruse not keeping certain settings.
I have the same issue and the fix work for me also. I lose the A – Z list on the right side when I shut the phone down. I also lose the selected keypad and TomTom from the today screen even though it is selected to be there and the same kind of fix works. I don’t even have to uncheck it and recheck it. I can just go to Start, settings, Today and then Items and see the list but just hit OK and then it’s back. For the keypad I have to select the one I want again. This seems to happen every time I have to power it all the way down.
I had the same issue; now it's fixed... THX!!
Touch Cruise - Contacts - Missing alphabetical list
I had same problem, checking and unchecking ths Show alphabetical index helped, weird...

To reproduce do just this..
1. Kill cprog.exe from any tool.
2. Go to today screen, in bottom left corner press "New" menu and select contacts.
It makes device reset.
So, whats the way to solve this issue ?

hi friends of the net,
help pleeeease.
when i go into go into calendar i get numbers come up and not letters when the key pad is closed, if i open phone to type on key padi can get the letters, if any numbers have been entered already the numbers do not delete and i have to press the home key and then go back to it again before it lets me write anything, this also happens in internet explorer! after this has happened if i try to access contacts via home page or via menus it does not let me access them.
also my i bar/cursor vanishis sometimes when i am in text messaging.
tried factory reset and it still happens, also had a new phome sent out and the new one does the same!!!! assume its software fault on many phones.
Can you vox owners try these out...
This is regarding my friends phone, member - Wezog. Ive taken a look at the phone and im just wondering if any of you guys out there have these problems?
1 - Make sure your phone is closed (qwerty keyboard is hidden away), using the right soft key or by going into the start menu select the calendar application.
Once in here start typing an appointment, do you find that you have numbers appearing instead of letters?
Its as tho you cannot type any appointments using the keypad, but you have to open up the e650 and use the qwerty keyboard to enter information.
Do you HTC owners get the same problem or is it just the Orange e650 owners, or is it just my friend being unlucky? (being his 2nd phone to do exactly the same thing - hes let orange know about this but apparently has to decide what he wants to do)
2 - Once youve tried the Calendar above, exit out of it and then try and select CONTACTS as tho you were going to call someone either by using the left soft key or by actually going into Contacts in the start menu.
Do you find that Contacts dont display and nothing comes up? My mate has to then soft reset his phone to get things back to normal again.
Thanks in advance for your help, its very appreciated.
Cheers
Could someone try the steps below and post here...please
Would appreciate you guys following the steps below and letting me know if you get the problem, or not. Cheers.

Frankly - actions like creating an appointment is why I chose a phone with a QWERTY keyboard after all
But for the sake of your test I tried to create an appointment on my closed Vox and it worked.
Pressing a pad key repeatedly scrolls through its lowercase letters + the number, starting with the first letter. The *-key switches between lowercase and uppercase.
Contacts open and work normally after closing the Calendar.
I have an unbranded HTC S710 with the original ROM.
The behaviour you describe is definitely weird. And it happens also after a "Clear Storage" / Hard Reset ?
when an email or sms comes in, i little envelope shows up on the top of the screen and the bottom left hand of the screen changes from calendar to 'Notification'.
is it possible to not have that happen. i use spb phone suite and the home screen already shows this info via a number of unread messages. i do not need a 'Notification' message to show up also.
thanks

Geez, I kinda want mine back. I used a tweaking program to set it to something else, and now I can't find out how to set it back to get the Notification display behavior....
Any clues, aside from reflashing

I actually want mine back too without having to set it all the time. But in your case, go to start>settings>Sounds & Not on the bottom select Notifications, then select the event you want to change, you case "New Email" and check off Display.
that does not work. maybe its the ROM. maybe a soft reset is required....
Here it is...
After much searching, I believe this is the answer...

Hi MBAlbright -- Thanks for the ptr. However, what I really want is the ability when I have a notification up, to automatically rebind the left softkey on the homescreen to "NOTIFICATIONS", so that pressing it will make it seem like I pressed the little notification icon.
Any idea on that one? This is how the older ROMs used to operate.
Thanks!
the home screen of [touchflo3d] overrides left and right default softkey actions. thats why we cant have now on left softkey notification button
so how would you rebind the left and right soft touch keys to other functions?
hello everyone,
this one is bizarre,...
i took my htc touch pro out of my pocket yesterday, pushed the power button, and found a silouette black and white figure as the background on the home screen.
when i slide to contacts, messages, email, etc. the image goes away, on the home screen, i cannot get it to go away,... i have checked and unchecked the box labeled, 'use this image as the background,' i've soft reset, i've taken the battery and SIM card out, i even found 'avatar 8' and deleted it, but nothing works and this image is still on my device while in 'touch flo 3D' mode, (when i uncheck the touchFlo 3D box, it disappears also,...)
i have no clue how this happened, but would appreciate any comments on how to make this image go away and get me back to the touchFlo 3D screen,...
thanks,
ek
I had the same thing happen. I got rid of it by setting a different picture as background.
thanks, but tried this, and it didn't work,...
ek
can someone help with this,...?
thanks,
ek
In TF3D... scroll all the way to the settings tab and select "Wallpaper". Click on it and a popup will come up asking if you want to use the default wallpaper... click yes.
crav4speed, thank you very much,...! back to normal now and no more 'harpo marx' silouette via 'avatar 8',...

How do you set the green star "My favorite" button the VzW tp2?
On the "getting started" app that launches when I hit it, I follow the link to
a 2nd screen that lists 7 rows:
Send Key (Hold) - voice command
Button - <context menu>
button - <today>
button - <context menu>
button - <context menu>
button - <context menu>
Favorite - PIAgenda
The last one I updated to try and launch my application. But I get an error
stating "Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please
Select a different button assignment".
There are 7 hard/physical buttons on the tp2, but I'm not sure its referring
to those. How on earth do I get that green star to launch what I want?

I had this same problem with a Sprint TP2. Now I know you probably don't wanna hear this... but after contacting HTC, they told me it shouldn't be that way and before they would even help me further, they wanted me to do a hard reset. After the heard reset, though, it cleared and, so far, I haven't had the "Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please Select a different button assignment" error, YET.
I cannot be certain this would work for your TP2 (or Tilt 2, as I think it's called at Verizon), but is an Option.

Hard reset.. yeah that would be hard. I dont have a "Backup" solution yet. so nothing is really saved. I did install all my apps, except pocket informant on the SD card, but I doubt stuff would work after a hard reset. I've not really come across some really strong recommendation on a decent backup and recovery app.
That said. I just somewhat blindly changed some of the "button" settings and things are working. I dont know what all those "settings" or for on the tp2. if you navigate to that screen what is listed in your settings now?
Since the reset, I've only had one option in there... that is Send Key (Hold) - voice command.
As for a back-up option... I would sync your photos, app install files, and any music that you don't have on your computer already to your computer (via ActiveSync (downloaded from Microsoft) or Mobile Device Center (Included with Vista and Win7) or some other program of your choosing).
Then I would goto http://myphone.microsoft.com/. There you can download the Microsoft myPhone app. After installation, it will ask you to log in to your windows live account (usually the same as an MSN.com, live.com, hotmail.com e-mail address). Then it will ask you what you want to back up, tell it documents, contacts, and text messages. It bing your first time backing it up, may take a while.
Once that is finished and is confirmed that it has backed up (app on phone will tell you if there are any errors), do a hard reset.
After the Hard reset, reinstall the Microsoft myPhone. Log in with the same Windows Live ID as before and it will sync all data on the server to your phone.
Then it is only a matter of checking to see if that cleared the problem (only one button assignment, or more if your carrier programed it that way, contact them to be sure). Install your apps one at a time, checking the button assignment program after each instal/initial run of your apps. If it show back up after installing a certian app, then it is probably the one causing the problem.
It it doesn't show back up, then problem solved.
I do hope this helps ya.
I had this problem too. It wouldn't even let you switch to the keyboard backlight.
But if your on Verizon, it has been fixed with MR1 (WM6.5).

I am on Verizon. MR1? that's the same at WM6.5? Perhaps it will be fixed once VzW actually releases their WM6.5 for the TP2

You could also just click on each of the "context menu" options and select "none". No hard reset necessary. The reason why the hard reset worked for the previous poster is because it may have defaulted to the way it was before the settings were touched. All I had to do is make sure the "Context Menu" buttons said "None" and presto. All done with no errors and no hard reset required. Hope this helps.
