On my old Rhodium TP2 there was a feature to automatically activate speaker when placing phone face down. Is that possible with HD2?
Err... yeah. You just place it face down

LOLLLL
didn't know that
It never worked for me for some reason. It could be disabled but I can't find the setting to turn it on. Anyway, I am planing to do a hard reset this weekend and see if that feature is back.

I can only assume it will be there after a hard reset, as it's something I've used countless times and have never had to enable it. (I seem to remember reading it in the manual too!)
Confirmed working with Dutty's ML series ROMs.
It does not work for me. WWE ROM. I just did a hard reset.
Always worked for me on Stock 1.66 ROM.
Working on Axlor.
Weird this, ive always wanted it!
and just never tried it

that's strange. the feature is documented in the HD2 manual, so it at least works on all stock ROMs. If not, approach HTC support.
i'd say if it doesn't work, its something related to a flashed rom and a setting more than anything else
Turing On Speaker While Facing Up More Useful
I would rather somehow have the proximity sensor turn the spearkers on while the phone is facing up because it would be nice to multi-task and take notes or update my contacts while I am talking to that person/business. For example, a business gives me an RMA so I would have to edit my notes for that contact and enter the RMA number. I can't do this while the phone is faced down.
yea the speaker function works the same on mine as on the TP2
Is there a setting or reg key that I can change to enable this? (doesn't work on Artemis 6.0)

Maybe it's too late and you already found the solution but here it goes for other people:
To turn the HD2's speaker on do one of these:
1 - Long press phone button (furtherest left)
2 - Turn it upside down
3 - On the call screen slide down & press the speaker's button

So it's been a month since I got my HTC Touch pro and all the problems I have with it, I've had with the HTC TYTN II. To list them:
- Volume is too low during conversations, it has to be fairly quiet around to be able to hear the other person (even with the volume turned way up)
- There's a 2-3 ring delay on incoming calls.. which means people hang up before you get a chance to answer.
- Sometimes trying to call a number, the phone will just display the Calling Number screen and you hear no sound at all in the speaker.. then after 10 seconds it will end with 3 beeps.. Like it couldn't get a signal or something, even though there's plenty of signal on the signal gauge. You try again 2-3 times before it works.. REALLY annoying (Never had a phone that did that, other than the TYTN II!)
- Answers calls in pocket. You go for the phone, but the touch screen is on and you answer or hang up (in my case apparently almost always hangs up) while the phone is still in your pocket. Also VERY annoying.
- Alarm or snooze malfunctions. This happens rarely for me, but since I use it everyday as my alarm for waking up, I notice! It's not because I sleep past the alarm. I've been lying awake listening for it to ring... the vibrator works, but no sound is played. This means that I can't trust my phone to wake me up if I'm going to catch a plane or other important stuff. It's very rare, but it happens.. it also did on my TYTN II, except that didn't even vibrate! My guess is windows is busy doing something else .. then doesn't play the sound properly.
- Then there's the slowdowns.. not really a fault, but like windows 95 it can become very slow or unresponsive for a short period for unknown reasons. A phone has to work when you need it... not delay you for 30 secs while it thinks things over. I've had to reset my phone a couple of times this month. (No I didn't run 10 apps at the same time while trying to use TF3D to look at pictures)
- It takes 4 seconds to lock the phone (So that it doesn't also MAKE calls in your pocket) .. is there a way to tweak this? Like only pressing the off-hook button for 1-2 seconds instead?
These problems are the reasons that I'm considering selling my phone to some other unfortunate person. They are BASIC functions that just have to work! I love the HTC touch pro for it's PDA functionality and my Tom Tom maps etc. but I'm really starting to hate it for these basic functionalities that work very poorly!
I know other people have experience the same problems.. couldn't we make a sticky with problems and possible solutions for it? I also really hate that fact that I have to hack my phone in able to make it function properly!

Have you considerd a custom Rom yet? I am currently running the DCS Rom, and don't have the problems you mention above. It made my TP much more responsive!
A lot of these problems though, are mentioned throughout this forum, and can be solved. Either by ROM updating, or tweaks... What Rom are you running?
I understand completely. I feel differently though. My TP is the best phone ever. The issues I have were seen on my previous devices (HTC devices for the US). The faster processor, increased storage, and TF3D make me happy. Don't get me wrong, I have cussed at this phone, missed inportant business calls, and missed a flight thanks to the alarm. I soft reset 1 - 5 times a day to proactively minimize these issues. But overall, the TP is a huge improvement over my Wing. So long as my new devices are improvements to the one before, I am happy. I can't live with a standard cell phone, and love my Raphael.

Yes, but it happens so rarely I can't say if its the sound. Besides, it's the rooster sound that came with phone. No matter what it should never happen. It happened on my TYTN II too.. So I guess it's probably a windows thing.

Hmm.. I might try that.. but I often see people start having entirely different problems with their phone then (lock ups and strange behaviour). If there is a stable ROM that fixes these issues and doesn't break down hard once every week. I'm all for it!
I'm running the standard ROM that came with the phone. Ver.: 1.90.403.6 DAN (Danish) ROM date 08/23/08, Radio: 1.02.25.19, Protocol: 52.33.25.17U
If I call my cellnr. from the home phone, it starts ringning as quickly as all my other mobile phones... So no, I really don't have that problem, thoughj I did just see another topic from somebody with exactly you problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432415
You might want to follow that.
On the alarm, I have 2 kids, so I don't use an electrical alarm Sorry...
The different ROM may be something you can test at least. It fixed a lot of annoyances for me anyway. Look in the Wiki for different Custom Roms, there are a couple out there, and for me, DCS worked best. You can always go back to original, should you not like the ROM. I'm running DCS now for three days, no resets, and it is still fast....

Using the registry hack for the touch diamond I'm now using the "lock on backlight turned off" fix.. it works, and my phone locks when I press the screen off button. Way less annoying than waiting 4 seconds for it to lock.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
Nice, 1 Question though; What happens if you make a call? The display goes of as well then, will the keyboard then lock as well? Cause that's not handy, to say the least

So if I'm listning to my voicemail, and need to press "3" for deletion, I can't? Or will it disable after I extract my stylo?

you can extract the stylus but the you have to juggle around with it OR you can press the standby button on top to unlock it. It's a pain I know but the problem is that it is a touch screen so pressing a button to unlock is less worse than without it.
So functionality actually remains as it is now... That's good, I'll give it a try!

Sounds like you are using a ringtone from your microSD card. This will cause a delay. Your ringtones need to be copies to your device and activated by holding the stylus over your selection & hit set as ringtone.

Try SensorLock. It's a great little utility that unfortunately has stopped working for me. Must be something I poked somewhere. lol
As for the alarm, mine works fine... but I do notice the ringing a couple of times on the sending end before the phone starts to ring. I'd sort of passed that off to a network thing, not a phone thing.
The 3 second ringtone delay is a WM issue. Look at the postings for VAlert in the general hacking section. The only known fix is http://www.tweaks2k2.com/portal/staticpages/index.php?page=20050224182009983
but no one seems to have figured out their registry setting change...

TRY G-Alarm. It works well for me.
Klaxon (sp?) alarm looked cool and would have also been practical, but it would crash - totally unreliable.

No, in my TPro the delay is exactly the same (oviously using the same mp3 file in memory card or in the device)..i've reduced delay sound installing Diamond tweaks and setting "without delay" in ring tone..then i've erased diamong tweaks because use too much battery now i have only 1 ring with light (and identified call incoming on the screen) and without sound, and BEFORE the second ring my device correctly sound

I have a HTC TouchPro and had the same issue of not wanting to press the long press end key for 5 seconds to lock the phone. I tried the code you gave and unfortunately the phone still does not lock when I push short press the power button to turn off the back light and put th phone in sleep mode. I really want this to work since when I am driving, I think when I go through good and bad coverage areas, the phone will automaticallly wake up about 3 times each way, so if it is not locked, I can accidentally call people while driving.
Hi all. Slowly battling through these annoyances.
I can't find anything about this on a search, but I'm sure I remember reading about it. Does anyone know how to stop the device returning to the Touchflo 3D home tab every time I wake the device up? It's annoying when it goes off when I'm writing a text message or in a call or listening to music and I have to navigate all the way back.
Also, is there a definate answer to the "screen off during call" thing? I guess I could live with it for now if I can fix the other problem.
Hi, this will not help you but just for your info: my TF3D doesn't return to the home tab after wake up... You have a branded phone?
mine does'nt either so the answer is to switch over to ROMeOS rom

Mine does it sometimes but usually a soft reset stops the return to home screen.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm not bothered which tab it returns to, but say I have messaging open and the device falls asleep, when I wake it up it returns to the home screen so I have to navigate back to where I was. It's very annoying.
My unbranded 405 ROM TP does it and my gf's Orange branded Diamond does it.

I leant my phone to the singer in my band today as he was reading some lyrics from the internet for a cover song we're doing. He was going mad about it because the damned thing kept returning to the home screen mid-song.

It'll only work if your keypad.dll looks for this key, the only one I know for sure does is the HTC Fuze, since that's the one I disassembled to find the key

I would love to be able to have this option available. Any help would be great!

You need to post to that thread.
I could never get it to work either.
No tweaks in that prog worked for me.
does the rest of the features of InCall work properly? maybe you need to ignore the first sleep thing
Works fine on my AT&T Fuze with stock ROM.
it hasnt worked for me either but the rest of the features work like auto on/off screen when its by my ear and all

they removed that feature and moved it to the slide menu. so now i have touch screen, unlock it, slide down,
click the silence button, click ok.... thats 3 more clicks, and even more if you use an unlock passwd or pattern.
its stooopid. at lollipop it didnt matter if ur phone was locked, volume key would be accesible and silence it.
thats a 2click procedure.

Being a fellow who uses the phone as a phone, I immediately noticed that thing after upgrading from a CM12.1 based rom to a CM13 based one... It was one of the functions I used more during the day.
Some other things that makes me want to come back to CM12.1...? yes.
-The fact that the Contact tab inside the dialer doesn't filters out contacts I decided to not show on the Contact app.
-(Not really a MM issue, but instead related to Cyanogenmod.) No call recording (another essential feature for me)!
The phone part of our "smart" devices is becoming worse and even more worse every update . Maybe it's time to come back to a Nokia 3310 or a Qtek 9090 like in the good old days

Hi,
I have a moto g 3 and updated to marshamallow.
it was the first time i ever upgraded an android phone.
little did i know the troubles this would cause.
-phone is now considerably slower.... **noticeable SLOWER!**
- I used to shake my phone and lit up the flashlight. now that works 1 out of 20 tries. its bugged.
- at lollipop i would click the volume key and it would show an option to silence the phone.
they removed that feature and moved it to the slide menu. so now i have touch screen, unlock it, slide down,
click the silence button, click ok.... thats 3 more clicks, and even more if you use an unlock passwd or pattern.
its stooopid. at lollipop it didnt matter if ur phone was locked, volume key would be accesible and silence it.
thats a 2click procedure.
/rant off
I want to downgrade to lollipop.
Can anyone point me to a how to link procedure?
i need some foolproof very in detail.procedure, im a guy with general computer knowledge, but not a die hard.
have not rooted a phone ever. but if theres a procedure for downgrading that is detailed thoroughly & foolproof id appreciate the link so I can study it.

Being a fellow who uses the phone as a phone, I immediately noticed that thing after upgrading from a CM12.1 based rom to a CM13 based one... It was one of the functions I used more during the day.
Some other things that makes me want to come back to CM12.1...? yes.
-The fact that the Contact tab inside the dial
no idea what this all meant. plz stay on topic, thanks

i haven´t but i read somewhere else that a factory reset would not downgrade android version. since it also changed its firmware..
dont know if thats true or false.. did you or anyone reading this has actually done a factory reset and their android device downgraded itself? need to be sure, dont want to waste time, backing **** up, doing factory reset
only to notice it still marshmallow and then redownload and restore everything so i can use the phone and still have the problem.
thanks

I wasn't so much off-topic, it was something related to the thread title (Marshmallow piece of crap), but OK! I respect your statement. Last reply I make on this thread.
Hope tomorrow will be a better and happier day for you

I think downgrading will be a more difficult task than a factory reset. A factory reset should clear all your issues.
