Hey,
I installed CHT 1.8 yesterday on my HD2 with the latest 1.72 o2 rom.
It was working fine for the rest of the day and i switched the phone off and charged it overnight.
This morning, i switched it on usually and the lockscreen was white instead of black (i have the manilla unlock slider)
I fiddled around with the different settings and i cant seem to change the background colour.
Also, now when i lock the phone, the volume can be changed which is a problem when i put it on silent, lock it and put it in my pocket the volume button can accidentally be pressed and the phone put off silent. Usually when the phone is locked, everything is locked and you need to unlock it to change the volume. Is there a fix for this?
Thank you for your help!
This should be posted on the CHT 1.8 thread, not here. You will get the proper feed back there. Not flaming, just pointing you in the rite direction.
I also was having problems with CHT 1.8 lock screen. After doing some searching, I found this is a known issue. I removed 1.8 and reinstalled 1.7 till they can work out the bugs.
Cheers
I POSTED ABOUT THIS ON COOKIE THREAD. was told it was a known bug too, it apparently occurs when using landscape view. a fix will be made on the next update. (screen turning white issue)
Make sure that the wallpaper you've set for your lockscreen has a FULL english path !!!
for example Storage card/wallpapers/...
I understand your frustration, always always always... backup your device before doing any mods to your phone especially manila mods. There are dozens of devs working around the clock on their spare time, and not everything will be compatible with your version of wm 6.5/ 6.5.x... also once you have just the normal cht up and running, after you set your icon s in place, EXPORT!!! save these setting in case something gets messed up.
To uninstall CHT 1.8 do i have to do a hard reset? can someone give me a link to the step by step guide on how to do it properly?
When i was using CHT1.7 i had problems and uninstalled it leading to no hometab and had to hard reset it and use the normal sense.
Thanks for the help and ill post in the CHT forum next time

I don't know if I just never noticed this since I just got the phone on Friday but every time I slide out the keyboard, it'll show the landscape home screen for a few seconds and then open up the phone and I have to hit home to get back. Same when I slide the keyboard back in. I have changed a couple things like the clock, icons, slider, landscape icons, and so that the portrait left softkey opens contacts instead of phone. Any ideas? Thanks!
im actually having the same problem, everytime i open up the phone say to respond to a text message or something the phone screen (dialer screen) pops up and i have to close it and then go back to my text message inbox.
anyone know whats causing this?
This is a known problem that HTC needs to do something about. Some of the custom ROM's tend to do this with less frequency.
Same problem here! Have had the phone for around 3 weeks, just started happening yesterday.
Any solutions?
Thread isn't getting much attention.
I flashed NATF's latest Raphael RoOM (4.1) around a week ago, and I haven't had the problem again.

I believe theres a reg edit for this, but you must re enable it after a while.
Hi i had thesame problem, is something to do with animated taskbar icons, uninstal them and see whats hapened
I have the FUZE and periodically, when I do a soft reset, the phone does a few cycles of the white boot screen before it moves into the WinMo green screen. This obviously increases the time to reboot. I am using the stock AT&T ROM and Radio. The only 'deep' change I made was updating the TF3D with herg's manila clock v6 skin. It is not a rom-level change.
The white-to-green screen part of the boot should have nothing to do with the software I've installed on the device, right? I'm guessing that the unit needs to be exchanged, but before I go through that hassle, I wanted to learn from people here is this is
a) normal/expected behavior from a WinMo 6.1 Pro device
b) is it possible I did anything to create this problem? (again, no ROM or Radio changes made)
Any info appreciated.
Thanks,
Jon
I can go to setup/system/screen and change the orientation to "Portrait". but it's changing right back to landscape if I put it in sleep mode and wake it up. Or if I slide the keyboard and slide back it stays in landscape.
Any clues on why it's defaulting back to landscape and not staying in portrait mode?
Thank you in advance!
Jonathan
You really need to give a little more info. What rom are you using? Stock? 6.1? 6.5? What carrier? Do you have a newer manila on there? No one can help you with the information (or lack thereof) that you have given.
It's happening with both ROM I tried (NFSFAN's WM6.5 build 14 & Mighty 21840.5.0.60). I've got the phone on MetroPCS service. Manila 2.1 I think with the Mighty Rom flash. Hope this helps, Thank you in advance -Jonathan
I dunno; have you done anything weird with Advanced configuration? There was a dude once who set his angle for causing the switch from portrait to landscape to 0 degrees, and his phone when haywire. Also, what programs have you installed, and do you have anything weird that runs at startup that you installed, like any g-config programs? Maybe you installed something that is screwing with the phone in a big way. It's just a guess. I know from personal experience that the Iris browser can screw with the phone in a big way, particularly if it switches the phone to landscape and you close it that way.
I'd suggest doing a hard reset, not installing any apps or any tweaks, and see if the phone is still acting up. If it is, then you may have a hardware problem. also, you should probably try calibrating the g-sensor. I've never done it myself, but if yours is out of whack, it may be messing with the orientation.
This happened to me as well, I tried a hard reset that only succeeded in pissing me off. Got with HTC Tech support, they pointed me toward a new sprint ROM that was released (just as bad as a hard reset) didn't work either. Then they set me up with getting it repaired, since I was still under HTC's warranty of 12 months. Just got it back last week and all seems fine now although they did not say what happened.
Sorry I can't tell you what the issue is. But try Tech Support just make sure you have the phone set up like it's fresh out of the box, make sure you check the registry as well for lingering traces of previously uninstalled programs or edits.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck
This may be nonsense but I'm beginning to get a suspicion about S2U2 potentially being the cause of data connectivity issues for me.
I'm hoping I'm wrong because it's such a great program and I've used it on my last couple of phones.
Basically when I had my Touch HD, I had to reboot it pretty much daily if I wanted my data connection to work, otherwise I would get connectivity problems, but they would always be solved by a reboot.
I never figured out why this was, even though it was mega annoying. In the end I installed a cab to do a scheduled reset each night and it helped quite a bit.
Since I got my HD2 it has behaved perfectly as far as data is concerned and has not had a single connection fail with use every day for emails & browsing, UNTIL I installed S2U2 yesterday late afternoon, then last night it failed to connect. Yes you've guessed it, a reboot solved it.
I know that's hardly conclusive and I'm hoping it's not the case as I love using this program as an unlock screen, but I was wondering if anyone else has had any problems like this?
I was wondering if it was somehow also linked to my carrier too. The reason for this is that my friend also had a Touch HD and used S2U2 and never had this problem but he uses a different phone company. He now also has the HD2, and has installed S2U2 again and is fine, but mine is acting up, so it seems weird that it happens to both my phones but neither of his....
I know I could remove it to see if the problem goes away but programs sometimes leave bits behind when you uninstall.
Cheers
Jim
I get problems either daily or bi-daily where I have to reboot my HD2 to get my data connection to work again, (its connected but doesn't work). Every time its solved by a reboot.
I dont have S2U2 installed. If you find the reason behind the issue let me know as I am about to start doing a search into it.
Hmmm, maybe it's just coincidence then. But why would it have worked perfectly up to that point though, that's the thing that makes me wonder.
Mine also appears to be fine in terms of still displaying the GPRS signal/sign, but trying to retrieve emails or open the browser etc gives an error. It's maddening, whatever causes it!
Same thing again this morning when I told the phone to get my emails - connection failed. Worked fine after a reboot.
I'll see what happens tomorrow. If it does it again then I'm going to uninstall S2U2 and see what happens from then onwards. If it doesn't fix it then I guess it'll be a hard reset on the cards....
Back to original HD2 screen lock from 2SUS
Dear all,
Can tell how to change back to original lock after installed disable the screen lock? I don't like 2SUS needed so long to slide...
Just uninstall it, then press your windows button and hit the lock softkey.
I've removed it myself tonight even though I'm a long term S2U2 fan.
Since installing it a few days ago I've had even worse problems with ghost unlocks than before.
Previously the only issue was accidentally cutting calls off, but with S2U2 in use (standard lock disabled) I had a text from a friend on Friday asking if I was drunk. Somehow, whilst locked in my pocket it unlocked and sent a gibberish sms!
Then today, it also somehow unlocked in my pocket and dialled my mum!
I'm just glad I wasn't playing Call of Duty when it happened or she would have just heard "Sh1t!!! You cheating f***!!! WTF??? You..... FFS!!!!" etc
But seriously - I love S2U2 from previous winmo phones but it's made my HD2 worse so I've uninstalled it tonight sadly.
Isn't there a working fix for these bastard hard buttons yet? I LOVE this phone but the bloody hard keys are ruining it.
Hi Cret,
Thank you so much for your response. I did remove 2SUS and selected the Screen Lock from pressing the Power buttom but it doesn't auto lock each time...
Can you tell what to do such change Registry or I need to restore the original setting?
Thank you, dude.

he wanted it back... not disable...
Go to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 1
This should re-enable the lock...
Thank you very much!
I will try to see it works on my HD2.
Mine was the same ie the lock would not return.
I already had BSB tweaks installed which had a toggle for the lock though, so I just activated that.

Hi, did uninstalling S2U2 help on the connection failures?
Well, I only removed it last night but so far yes. I have not had to reboot the phone this morning and the data is working flawlessly.
Also - and this is a biggie! The battery life on the phone is MILES better without S2U2.
Normally the phone would be down to about 70% by lunchtime without even doing anything and it's still on 96% now - that's a massive improvement!
However, one thing has occurred to me as a possible cause of these issues - I've realised I was using a very old version of the program - v 1.5.
I think I'll try the latest one - 2.22 and have a look through the changelogs to see if there's anything mentioned in there along these lines.

Here's two fixes right away in the next version relating to battery use:
- fixed the v1.50 issue of occasionally high CPU usage during idle.
- save more power than the old version when the device is sleeping.
v1.6
- removed option "Power Save" as the power leak problem is found & fixed.
I can't really be arsed reading through the rest of it but it's obvious there have been power issues addressed by subsequent versions so I'll try the latest and see how it goes.
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?

Quick setup of common email account types and an option to set up an email account manually.
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.
