hello,
unfortunately i cannot turn on the bluetooth from comm manager, it turns on and after 1 second is off again.
any solution for this problem?
thanks.
I have had this problem before and unfortunately am having it again. Only solution I have ever found for this is a hard reset and then reinstalling all your apps. If you try to restore from a backup from Sprite Backup, for instance, the problem remains. This would lead me to believe that it's a setting or a registry issue somewhere but I haven't been able to locate exactly what would be causing it and don't know enough about programming in WM to write something to figure it out.
Not a great answer but there it is.

Hi, I have a Uk version of the touch cruise and I have the same problem. I just did a hard reset but the problem remains. Turning bluetooth on is impossible. It just try's to turn it on and shuts it off immediately.
Maybe it has something to do with GPRS? I am always connected to the internet. I tried to disconnect but then bluetooth still doesn't work. Can anyone help? Thnx!
No one has a clue?
I had this prob with bluetooth and wifi following the use of wmwifirouter- after hard reset and no wmwifi all goes well...
On a French SFR rom
any other idea?
Same problem... beginning to wish I'd gone all Apple and bought an iPhone. Anyway.... To trun it on, I had to go to Comm Manager>Settings>Bluetooth>Mode>Turn on Bluetooth. That worked despite the Comm Manager still showing Bluetooth as "off".
It only connects 1/2 the time to my headset or handsfree in the car
Otherwise, the phone crashes only once a day! Great! Thanks!
ok, great to see more people having the same problem but i hope that someone has a sollution...
When I try to turn bluetooth on in the communications settings i get a message saying there is a hardware error! :S
Ohw btw, I'm not using any router programs or other and my WIFI works fine.
has anybody of you having this problem tried to change to another rom?
if yes? did this worked?
any news on this?
No news, I don't want to try for a different rom because i don't think it will change anything. It just seems like its a faulty device which is a real shame. I've already contacted the place where i bought it and see if i can get a new one.
I also have problems with my microphone during calls, photo camera does often not work and the touchpad reacts very slowly to my touches. Very annoying!!!!
Yup, am returning mine to HTC aswell. Not even sure I want it back. WiFi stopped working too, and then it stopped receiving text messages, and everyone said they couldn't hear me when I called them. Great
Some of you guys got a bad device, there are thousands out there working properly.
If some of you guys flashed a newer Radio, the one form the test-ROM, then this is your problem.
And some of you guys have a quite gay branded ROM (slow responsiveness of touchpad). The original HTC ROM on the FTP and even more so a cooked ROM would solve alot of your problems. But be aware, flashing without having a backup ready is going to void your warranty if you want to exchange it having a custom/non-original ROM on the device.
What's up Schaggo
I am experiencing the same problem these gentlemen are mentioning and my ROM is not gay or lesbian. It is the original one.
TC is my 7th HTC device and I can see the quality of the ROMs decreasing a lot on every new device. I feel like HTC needs a real competitor to move up its arse quicker.
All I can say is that it really annoys me to hard reset this [email protected] everytime I "accidentally" use a native feature called Flight Mode. By bluetooth seems to fly away and never get back.
Lots of time the GPRS settings have to be reconfigured too. Some people I know have problems with GMail IMAP4 accounts when sending messages after some time. I never had this problem on my Kaiser neither on my Niki.
The lack of a video driver really is an egg on our faces, because I can't believe my ole Qtek 9100 responds quicker than these "all the bells and whistles" Qualcomm 7200 super-duper geared up devices.
So, if you feel like not contributing, please do not mess around.

Hi
I've tried many custom rom and the PB continue. "PB with the hardware oh BT".
Hard reset doent change anything.
my initial rom (SFR France) was working
custom rom (blackwidow + Bepe 058) are buging...
nedd some help !
Thanks alot for that input feaps. I guess I have to clarify a little bit.
My answer was supposed to be pointing in different directions. The first and general information I tried to contribute was, that it is not a common Polaris problem to have a broken Bluetooth unit. Which doesn't help at all to ppl affected, but it should tell them, that they probably got a bad device and should exchange it first before blameing htc in general and shouting for an iPhone.
It only was partially directed at specific persons. At madinga for example: did you try hardresetting your device? It could be a corruption in your system which causes all those problems. I doubt it though, if you suffer the loss of so many functions at the same time I suspect the mainboard to be broken. But nonetheless, hardreset it, see if its working, BEFORE you put your backup back on the device again since that could restore the corruption. If it doesnt work, exchange your unit, I hope you'll get a working one back.
My second line was directed at all people which have overwritten their original Radio with the 1.58.25.14 originating from the HTC Test ROM which can be found on the ftp server. The Bluetooth part of that Radio is flawed and leads to the problems described in this thread. I quite nicely pointed that out and told people where to have a look before shouting around. I do know that because I tried it myself and couldnt get my Bluetooth devices working. Once I flashed the original Radio back, my BT problems were gone.
And my third line - in which I may chose the wrong words, 'gay' for example - holds information targeted at people with for example the branded french SFR ROM or the original HTC french ROM. The SFR ROM is just horribly branded and if you go through the threads here you'll find people complaining about problems which then turn out to be related to the ROM. The french HTC ROM is flawed as well, it has severe problems with the volume control. I don't exactly remember what it was, but it's a flawed ROM, thats for sure. The German o2 ROM isnt flawless either, I know that because I originally had that ROM. Once I flashed my orbit 2 with the original HTC WWE ROM, I found it to be working alot better and smoother than with the o2 ROM originally provided. And this is where my last line comes into play: if you suffer problems related to your currently flashed ROM, they could be diminished by flashing an alternative ROM. But if your device is broken, and I personally and strongly believe that everybody fooling around in this forum should be intelligent enough and able to determine the sense of my words, eg. if he/she suffers a ROM problem or if the device just simply is dead and take appropriate actions.
And now to your contribution feaps. I feel personally attacked by your words. Thats why I defended my words in all the paragraphs above. Trust me, I've had enough mobile devices of all sorts to know what it means to get a not working once. Its frustrating and makes you want to throw it out of the window. And being able to see the quality decrease over time is just another drop on a hot stone. I agree. But be honest, if your BT unit works and stopps working once you engage a software based function, the problem is software related, dont you think? As for the GPRS settings, I cant tell. Since I use a free ROM which has the wizard built in (o2 removed it from their ROM) I didnt switch my SIM and the configuration worked, automatically and every single time. And I do use IMAP as well on my personal E-Mail account. Until now I didnt run across any problems, so I cant give you any feedback on that either.
So rethink again if I mess around or not or if I actually try to contribute and help the freshmen, coming into this forum and flashing whatever they find and breaking their devices. And recommending to flash the original HTC ROM, which should be/is the base for everything floating around, breaking your devices, is a serious input to everybody.
Edit: I forgot to add, pointed at nooms, there are cooked ROMs out there which stupidly have the new, flawed Radio baked in. Which Radio are you on? Try Start > Settings > Tab System > Device Information > Tab Version. Are you inadvertedly still on Radio 1.58.25.14 or back to (original) 1.58.21.23?
Hi everyone,
I agree with Schaggo completely. Most of the time problems have something to do with the software on the device. But I a not a tweaker like most of you guys, i've just bought my first (and hopefully not last) HTC phone. If i have problems of some kind, all i can do is reset the thing. A hard reset if necessary. I've done that many times. I can't change the software that comes standard and i don't think i should be the one who has to do that. Shouldnt HTC be doing that??
Anyway, Bluetooth keeps saying it has an hardware error. My radio version is a standard 1.58.21.23 but isnt finding any radiostations here in holland. Is it also broken? (sorry, i know, its a bit off topic)
You're right

Well put. Sorry for being rude, but I keep seeing people offending others day after day in this forum that used to be high level; but that doesn't mean I should act the same way.
I totally misread you and please accept my apologies.
My ROM is: 1.25.405.1 WWE
ROM Date: 12/11/07
Radio Version: 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version: 25.65.30.04H
One thing I could notice is that HTC has a flaw in the Flush HKCU to Permanent Memory While Shutting Down. Some keys are not written.
One example is the MagiCall (an app I use) registration key. The software maker had to write a flush app for doing that. Another example is the Start>Settings>System>Error reporting. No matter what you chose, after a power cycle or a soft reset, it always go back to "Disable...".
I have, also, already tested the device after the hard reset with no extra apps on it. Same lame behavior on BT...
So, SW QA levels are really dropping fast on new HTC models. That is pretty bad.
But anyway, I have an open case with HTC and if I find something contributive I will toch base with this thread.
Once again, sorry for being rude.
Best,

Then I guess you most probably got a bad unit. I guess the only solution at this time is an exchange.
The Radio-Firmware doesnt control the FM Radio btw The Radio-Firmware controls connections to the providers network, Wireless LAN and Bluetooth. But the FM Radio seems to be really bad in the Polaris, a lot of ppl I know complain about it.

No problem dude! There is no need for such an excessive appology. We are in a Forum and people have different oppinions and I think its totally acceptable to shout at each other. I just wanted to express that I'm not in accord regarding your judgement of my post. But thanks a lot, I seriously really appreciate it!
Yes, your device seems pretty standard to me and the scenario you described logically made me think of a software error. But this seems very unlikely now. I'm out of ideas for the moment then, I guess you have to return or exchange it too.
You are perfectly right about the dropping SW QA though. You can notice the registry glitch in other areas as well: backlight timer always reset to 30 sec, and there are more settings all over the place which don't get saved properly.
Again, no problem, everybody lets be cool
Bluetooth doesn't turn on
I have the same problem. Did anyone find a solution?
Also camera fails to initialize, touch pad is sometimes very slow for initial reaction. I have NO added programs beyond manafacturer originals and have tried a number of hard resets. Doesn't help.
Jeremy
I have some truly weird problems, would love to hear if anyone has encountered the same pain as I have.
The symptoms are:
In the comm manager the wifi suddenly refuses to switch on. When clicked the row greyes, a few seconds pass and then the row returns to status off. This problem will occur anytime. After the phone has been off for the night, after in use for a day or whenever. No pattern.
Soft resets never helps. Power off will help, but not necessarily at attempt #1. Hard resets will not necessarily help either (I have tried six times).
Device.exe crashed on me a few times after one of the hard resets. Manila.exe too.. this also intermittent. :/
So I'm thinking hw-failure here and the phone will go for replacement on monday, please let me know if you disagree or have any tips how to solve this. As I use wifi a lot this is crucial functionality for me.
I have seen similar problems for the Diamond where hw-failure seems the likely cause too. Please note that I have not tweaked the phone at all.
best, Robert
Well, as noone objected the phone is now sent back. Hopefully the new one will not have the same "feature".
cheers, Robert
Hi,
I have the same issues on my Diamond.
Thx

I have the same problem too. My wifi was firing fine until i used Wifi router v.6 (Bummer!). since then my Wifi refuses to fire up. Raphael forum does not have solutions, bt i could find a solution for a similar problem in Athena Forum < http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387454&page=4>
is there a way to port this fix for Raphael?? sure, if comnex obliges!
Cheers!
I'm using Swtos ROM" WM6.1 WWE CE OS 20753, Build 20753 V0.5 Light" which is very stable & Very responsive (Superlative). but recently my Wifi refuses to turn on using Comm Manager/wireless manager. My wifi was fine until i used Wifi router v.6 (maybe!), since then my Wifi refuses to fire up & even Network configuration manager refuses to open up. I have re-flashed several Radio ROMs, OS ROMs, including the Stock ROM & yet no solution. This dosent seem to to be a HW problem but something to do with MAC address corruption.
Raphael forum does not have solutions yet, bt i could find a solution for a similar problem in Athena Forum < http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...=387454&page=4 >
does any one have a solution?

Same thing happened to me. One day wifi worked fine and now it doesn't. When I try to turn it on via comm manager it does nothing. I'm using RRE with radio 1.12.25.19. I've tried flashing different radios and hard resetting my device. Has anyone been able to fix this?
I have this issue with my touch, that, when I make or recieve a call while roming my phone will restart within the first 30 seconds of the call.
Has anyone experienced this or/and know if it can be fixed?
Thanks in advance,
Kris
I worked out why it did it. You in a call then you hear a hissing noise then it reboot itself. Think this is a bug. While roaming in GSM network using EDGE or GPRS you cannot use voice and data together. Only in 3G which data and voice can be use together. The funny thing is the phone does not attemp to stop either voice or data, it just reboots itself.
Wonder there is any solution to this. Currently i just disable data during roaming on GSM network.
Now that I gave it more test......it restarts regardless of data or not......
hrm .. i reflashed the origional rom and spl onto the phone and it seems to work now - unfortuantly i have 2 drive fairly far to test it...
Has anyone else had this issue though?
Kris
I'm getting the same thing (I think), on my Touch Pro (Raphael).
I'm doing more testing to see exactly what is causing this, but it sounds like the same thing you're experiencing.
I wonder if there is some setting in the registry to tell the phone not to attempt to download data whilst on a GPRS connection and a phone call.
I started another thread about this before I found yours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439850
Same here, are we all on the 3 network?
New firmware may fix it. See post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439983
yes, but I like my RomeOS and mine's a HKK grey import anyway, doesn't have the 3 Software on it, so I'm doubtful if the 3 firmware will fix it... it might of course
interesting, i dont seem to have the same problem even when i am forcing my TP to go on gsm network. hopefully its not something i will face as i am also on 3network
This happens always when I initiate a chat in skype... The keyboard just wont respond until reboot. Anyone knows the issue?
Are you connected over wifi? I have issue if my wifi power mode is set to best performance/least battery. For some reason it locks up my hardware keyboard.
... This seems to be the worst kind of issue because its kind of untraceable. Mostly it appears but sometimes doesn't. It can also happen after fresh reboot... it happens on wifi or data... it is occasional but mostly it is there. I'm desperate... one of the main reasons to buy a WM device was to stay mobile online in msn & skype
im facing same issues, with Wifi enabled.
Keyboard becomes totally unusable/unresponsive, have tried everything found in these forums with no luck. adjusting power/performance/best battery don't solve the issue for me.
this is taking me at the point to sell my Fuze that i was so happy with until this problems.
DP: anyway selling it with these issue would be consider as a hustling, so i can't iven sell it.
Lets keep this thread active
Well lets make some noise here... there must be a clever member/moderator who has a clue about this issue.
Anyone....
I've also expereicenced this with active wifi
I looked around for a thread that had a compiled list of descovered glitches and stuff for the TP2 and didn't find one, so here we go. If you notice any issues with your TP2 post em, and maybe we can offer solutions, or at least get an idea if it is a specific device issue, or perhaps something wrong with the ROM, etc.
As mentioned in another thread, I have noticed a sms messaging glitch, where if you are in conversation mode and you recieve multiple texts before exiting, you have to exit and enter the conversation 1 time for each text recieved.
Also, I have noticed on multiple occations that the sometimes when my TP2 goes to sleep mode, it will not wake up unless I take out the battery. Those are the two main things.
I have a friend with a Touch Pro, and I also had one before I got the TP2, and I have noticed that both of these issues are on both devices. The touch pro only experianced them after the ROM update HTC released for it.
BTW, I have Sprint CDMA service. I don't know if Verizon users are experiancing the same issues.
I have considering flashing a custom rom to fix these issues if they are ROM specific, but idk if they are.
So, any other issues that anyone wants to share?
To tell the truth, I am not sure what is wrong. It may be a batch issue (a group of phones that all have the same problem). I have the Sprint TP2 and don't have the freezing issue.
I have noticed the issue with the text messages, but I believe that it has something to do with the new integrated Texting tab in the TF3D Contact/Address Book. There is a program on this Forum Called "Safe Inbox Extender" ( at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265 ). If you download it and install it, it enables the "Mark all as Read" function in the Text Messages. Has been a God send.
As far as the other issue, I would suggest that, after a back up of important things of course, that you do a hard reset. See if that fixes the problem. Also, If you have a bunch of 3rd party apps, you might want to install them one at a time, with a little time in between, and see if they are causing the problem. I've fallen into the runt of I know what programs I like and have them stored on my storage card. Just because all my phones have been WinMo, doesn't mean they will all be compatible.
Just some thoughts.
I'll try that program, thanks. As far as the sleep issue, idk if a hard reset would work or not. I accidentally reset it a few days ago when I tried to restore my data profile because my internet wasn't working and it went to the prgramming menu instead and wiped the whole phone. So I guess I'll wait and see if it does the sleep mode thing again. If not then I guess the hard reset did work.
I don't know if Verizon users are experiencing the same issues.

I can confirm that Verizon TP2 has same issues...Back it up and Hard Reset! Fixed the problem on my girlfriends and my buddys TP2...Neither issues have occurred since.
I''ve noticed when my phone is on sleep mode for more than 15-20 minutes it won't turn on immediately if i try to use the slider. i usually have to open and close the slider to get the screen to turn on. I've tried a soft reset but that hasn't fixed the problem. I've also had a few programs crash on me already. Any suggestions? Thanks
im on uscellular havent had any of those problems.the main issue i got with the tp2.is the memory usage i do soft reset its between 46-56 pct used. do nething on it like internet or play a game it sits around 80 pct used till i use cleanram or soft reset again.if any1 knows a way to lower the usage plz post it. ty
I have a us cellular tp2 and the only problems i am experiencing is that yeah the memory isnt the greatest but mostly the clock, i set the time zone for us central time and at least 2 to 3 times a day the clock will reset itself to eastern us time its a real pain in the a**. not sure how to fix it as of yet, any other uscc customers having this same problem?

ok sorry let me do that again. i was asking because i have owned the touch, touch pro and now tp2. the first didnt have the problem of using up that much. the pro barely hit 50 and that was with alot open. i contacted htc the told me to call in to tech support. they have a way to lower usage ill let you know if it works.

Hey! I had this problem too, but I figured out how to fix it.. Here's what I had to do..
I had to set my time to a local city [Click on World Clock ----> Add City ----> Local timezone city ---> Set My Location, and change your time to the proper one, then set your clock as the other city you made just a minute ago. While the new city is selected, delete it from the list [Menu ---> remove cities] and select your personal location again.
This timme, click on menu ----> Local time settings, and make sure that it says your timezone [Default on USCC for some reason is Central Timezone - Their headquarters]
I have a TP2 from US cellular. It has winmo 6.5 on it. It keeps show i have 1 txt msg. But i don't have any. I installed this cab but i don't see the mark all as read function anywhere.
yeah i also have the tp2 with us cellular and live in central time, but it always goes to eastern time. i called the tech team for uscc and they said that they have never heard of that issue before, but they said that they submitted a ticket for a fix so hopefully they do soon cause its very annoying
my tp2 doesn't have the sleep or time or txt problem, but it does soft RESET itself randomly for no apparent reason, happens 1-3 times a day, reallly annoying......
