Hi,
I am a newbee here. Just upgraded my 8125 to mobile 6. Everything seems to be working fine, but I have one question.
The "hard key email button" (button on upper left) does not take me to my email any longer. When i try to set it with settings>button the closest option I get is "messaging" which takes me to the screen to select which messaging to select.
I have an email box set up. How can I go direct to this? I have also looked at using Hbutton but can't seem to find a way to go direct to my email inbox.
Thanks

At the Messaging account picker screen, choose Menu->Options and uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging". If you are in an account it's Menu->Tools->Options.

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!!

I had same problem, checking and unchecking ths Show alphabetical index helped, weird...
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.

Yes its 6.5.
Hi all,
Just did the OTA update for 4.1.1 and I'm eager to try Google now, but I cannot seem to get to the main screen. What I mean is that if I swipe up from the softkeys and bring up google now (or by any other method), the main screen appears for a second, then jumps to the search screen. The option to opt-in and use Google Now does not appear at all and there is no response to pressing the menu button when I am on the google now main screen.
Any ideas on why this is happening?
Thanks!
For me the main screen is just the one when I press the "Search" soft key when I am at home screen, or the search bar at the top of the home screen.
You have to activate/opt-in by hitting Search Key>Menu button>settings. It's the first item to select in the settings.
Thanks for the feedback.
I took some screenshots to clarify my issue:
When I get to the google now home screen by either hitting the search key or the top search bar, it looks like this: db.tt/9jaob1Rv (sorry I cant directly post pictures yet, add the http in front)
At that page, the menu button does nothing until the screen changes to look like this: db.tt/TKsdxrBM (again, put the httpin front)
When I click the setting screen, I get these options with no mention of Google Now: db.tt/Mf4jqMvM (again, put the http in front)
Any ideas?
Thanks
That's odd. Could it be because you're in Canada? It might be a regional thing. I wish I knew how to help, but that's the only thing I can think of. I don't see why you wouldn't get GN though since it's available in a ton of languages.

You sir are a genius! I usually use my university address because it uses the gmail engine but when I added a gmail account, it gave me the option to use google now.
Thanks to everyone that helped!
Does anybody know how we could force the stock android email client to show as much buttons (but especially the "Archive" button) on the top bar next to the "Trash" and the "Read" button?
It has more than enough space there, so no need to hide actions behind the 3dot menu.
It briefly shows up when opening a new email from the notification area, together with the create email big round button on the lower right, but it will disappear after a few milliseconds to hide in the 3dot menu. I tried to play around with DPI settings, but no luck.
Why is the app behaving in this apparently stupid way?
Thanks for any input on this!
Hi, does anyone have similar problem I got, or even better, a solution to fix it.
If I open phone dialer, type in a number and tap the "Create new contact" (+ at top right) button and select "Create new contact" all I can see is contact photo preview and "Cancel" & "Save" buttons at bottom. No fields for any contact information.
After couple seconds the app closes, phone goes back to home screen and I get the pop-up saying "Contacts keeps stopping".
Nice to have phone where you can't add contacts to.
