Couple of questions about HTC HD2 - General Questions and Answers

Recently I bought a HTC HD2. Very nice phone and stuff, but some questions, wich I can't find in the instruction manual.
- In Contacts it display's the last name in front of the first name, can I switch it around?
- When I receive an sms, my phone only vibrates 3 times but doesn't give sound. But when I get an incoming phonecall it does give sound. What the?
- Is it possible to automatically make the phone turn on bluetooth when I put it in a charching dock? (and turn off again when I get it out the dock again)
- When I get a message, I click on "Messages" and then the message turns up wich I last read, not the message I last received, so I have to scroll up each time.
Sorry for my bad english and maybe some things can't on a HTC (last phone was an iPhone and this things were possible on my iPhone).

Well let me try and help you with this.
1) Yes, it is possible. Try this: http://shubaroo.com/index.php?module=contact
many people say it worked for them - I did not try it yet
2) To put a ring and turn on or off the vibration when you receive an sms you just need to go to the preferences (the last icon in Manila) / the 3rd option (sound and screen) / go down to rings and click on the 3rd option (sounds and notifications (reminders, new messages, etc.) / than you choose the 2nd option (new messages, but you click on the name and not on the on/off - keep it ON) / than you can choose the ring from the list and if you want it or not to vibrate from on the top.
3) I have no idea, I never thought of this, but there might be an application that could do it, I just don't know any.
4) When I am in Manila and I want to go to the 1st message, then I just scroll left or right and then back to the message icon, and it starts from the beginning.
I hope this helped you a bit, and maybe someone else can fill in the blanks.

Couple ideas/requests

Figured I'd post this where some developers might actually see it. Please let me know if anything already exists to do what I'm looking for.
I Just got a new 8525 (USA carrier: Cingular, slightly modified HTC TyTN) and love it so far. BUT there are a couple things I'd love to change...
The FIRST is disabling the flashing notification LEDs, there's two around the front earpiece, the one on the right flashes green for cellular network connectivity and is on solid when charging (orange then green when charged). On the left is one that flashes blue for BT but green for WiFi.
There's already an effort at MoDaCo BUT it also disables vibrate. Need to keep vibrate and ideally would like to keep the ability for the phone to use the LEDs for notifications (voice mail, call missed, etc). Even in my shirt pocket the flashing is always catching my eye.
Next, I'd really like a way to send all audio to a simple BT earphone (i.e. not an AD2P stereo jobbie) for listening to podcasts, audio books, etc unobtrusively. There's something out there called BTAudio, but it doesn't seem to work on this device. When I run it there's noise audible in the earphone, but audio through media player still comes out of the speaker, not the earphone.
Seems this would be useful for all HTCs (and any others?) with slide out keyboards: a way to disable the popup of the onscreen keyboard. An example: I'll open something that requires text entry, the keyboard pops up, I slide the phone open, the onscreen keyboard goes away, I enter stuff into the field then go on to the next one, and the d_mn onscreen keyboard will often popup again, which is very annoying because if covers much of the screen especially in landscape.
--Maybe a way to link disabling the popup to being in landscape?? Would just as soon keep the on-screen button for the keyboard though, with it's notifications for shift and blue dot...
Well, is there any hope?

Did you read my related article ( http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=1398&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 )?
Bluetooth Audio is reported to work with the Hermes / TyTN. Please see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=278778
BTW, do you want me to relocate the thread to the TyTN forum?
I figure it applies to more then just the TyTN, which is why I put it here. These forums are so segregated now...
I think I FOUND a solution for popup onscreen keyboard annoyance:
http://personales.ya.com/beemer/dow..._WM2003_WM5.zip
you don't need any new soft to disable popup keyboard. first of all, it disappears the moment you start typing with slideout one, and stays gone until you manually activate it. another thing, also found here without any effort tells you about a registry tweak to disable it permamently. search.

Yeah, the popup goes away, then pops back up as soon as you move to the next field, possibly covering it, then goes away when you type, then comes up again next field... Especially annoying with the gmail midlet (which has problems of its own relating to selecting fields in the first place).
Would appreciate a link for the registry tweak, haven't seen it in any of the Hermes/TyTN tweaking threads, and there doesn't seem to be a way to set nullKB to be the default.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=918794#post918794
try this out for the sip problems... personally don't know how it does, as im fine with ignoring the virtual keyboard;]
I'll have to try that, thanks Banannq.
So I came up with a few more things I'd like a way to do or would be eager to help somebody beta test
The first two relate to being able to unlock and show off the phone to friends and co-workers while keeping some things private...
1: Except maybe for replying to an SMS I really would like a way to make it so I have to enter a password to run the messages/email program, or even better to enter certain folders within it. Love the way Hotmail works on the PPC, but without some way to keep my private email private I just can't use it.
2: Ability to set a default filter in contacts, for example I'd use the 'no categories' filter, but others have many other uses for this. Not sure if I'd want it to apply to quick dialing or caller ID in the phone app, but an option for that too would be nice.
This is just a general one I've heard many ask for:
3: The ability to set the Calendar application's default opening view, for me it'd be 'month'.
Any of these things possible? Anybody else have some small changes/options they'd love to see added?

Smart1 v2 Bug Collection

OMG, thats really bad news I red today! Smart1 will not release a v3! Your WM6 v2 is close to perfect, just some small bugs left to perfection. Whatever may happen, I wanna thank you for this first: GOOD WORK!!!
I may not have posted alot until now, since I prefer reading first, digging into it, then posting. I´m still pretty new to PPC world (compared to those who live in here..), and I don´t want to spam and pollute.
Now someone asked for list of bugs in smart1 WM6 v2 to fix them / cook a new ROM based on it, so I step in because these bugs are something I know about - sadly.
Maybe you smart1 could give all the files needed to build it to him, to make shure things dont get messed up on rebuilding? Don´t know how this is handled in here.
BUGLIST:
Bugs I have myself & they are confirmed:
- Backlight switches OFF after Softreset (really bad at night..)
- PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets (-> cant use device with PIN enabled edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will NOT test this.)
- Email Password gets lost after SoftReset (reenter on boot)
- IR not working (did not check manual reg fix avail.)
- WLAN in Comm Manager does not always switch ON/OFF propper, does not switch ON after several tries
- Delay of 0.5-1 sec on most Softkeys (1/2, Green, Red) + 1 & 2 cant be reasigned without problems (cab)
- second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history. (never tried, but as workaround I suggest disablin the feature at your cellular provider. edit: Installing radio ROM 2.61.29 has been reported to fix this bug, I will test this.)
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.
- Links inside emails produce an error
Bugs I dont have myself but confirmed
- Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation. (fine here, maybe depending on G3/4 or model)
- Incoming MMS does not work.Outgoing does work. (Cant confirm, hate $$$ MMS)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- Could not get Internet Telephonie (SIP) working, may be wrong settings
- Sometimes dialing a contact does not work (from some views/windows). Will check the circumstances
Bugs some people have but not confirmed so far:
- MobileCalculator.exe not starting (works fine here)
- Pocket Outlook (Messages) does not start after a while (had this once, guess its some inteference with other soft)
- If you want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, you receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom. (I can not confirm this at all.)
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer. (not completly wrong, in general sofkeys lag)
- System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back (had once, someone else confim please)
from 18.04.07:
- Display is not kept opp when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination (I dont get this. Get opp?? Why not just lock device or use Mortsaver)
- The phone turns itself on frequently throughout the day when you have an Exchange email account. This is confirmed after a hard reset, and doesn't happen until the Exchange account is entered. (Guess Mortsaver could be used as workaround as long as not fixed.)
- BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing. (Uhm, does WM 6 support HTML mails at all? I don´t need it, if i need formated text i attach it)
- Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically.
I Confirm these bugs:
----------------------------------------------------------------
To get a clean & bugfree WM6 on prophet (maybe) I suggest following system:
- Everybody reads the whole tread before he / she starts posting
- Everybody thinks twice before posting if the post matches the topic
(Smart1 v2 Bug Collection - not: How to flash ROM or Please add finnish language.)
- Everybody posts bugs that are not already known .
- Everybody confirms bugs if they where not confirmed once
- Everybody falsifies bugs if they do not appear on their device
- Everybody posts tested solutions to confirmed bugs
- Nobody posts requests or problems with flashing or any other BS
- Nobody quotes complete posts just to add a single line
I will read this tread and update this post to collect all known bugs into this single post. I hope some mods keep an eye on this tread and keep it clean from "I have a problem and I am to lazy to read - PLEEEASE HELP ASAP" posts. Excuse me if this sounds a bit rude, but I just red trough 90 pages of the smart1 tread....
Even if we can`t cook ourselfs we can still judge the taste...
Please keep this post clean!!!
A
bug I find: afetr using some time, the messeage can't be used!
thanks
Problems happened to my prophet
1. Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume. Mic volume too soft as claimed by other party during conversation.
2. second incoming calls screen never appear + no missed calls record in call history.
Bug with tasks?
I have only one complaint and this is about tasks.
If I want to mark a task as complete or make a new task, I receive an error "not enough memory to complete the task, etc". If you click on complete (left button below screen), it marks the task as complete, but when you leave the application the task is not gone. When you enter tasks again, the task is still there.This happens too in the pdamobiz v1.00 rom.
I don't know if this could help others.. I had the same problems as you other guys in this thread with the phone part. (No missed calls list, PIN to access device gets corrupted on Softresets).
If i then flashed firts to NVID of WM5 rom, then to Smart1's WM6 V2 and after that i flashed to the radio rom of version 2.61.29.. Then those problems dissapeared for me.. I have a full call history list, and the phone does ask me for PIN everytime i soft reset! I haven't had these problems at all after i did this.
Bugs I have myself but not shure if confirmed:
- GRPS Connections do not intialize propper after Softreset. After opening Connection Settings once (like editing them, then OK) all works fine until next Softreset.

I can confirm that! I have the same problem!
Grt Rom, just a few glitches.
1) the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
2) System sounds (click, msgbox etc) go off sometimes, a soft reset gets them back
Can live with the above 2 problems, other than that i think its a fabulous rom, quite slick and quick. Hope someone can pick up where Smart1 left off.
Turns itself on with an Exchange email account
OK. Scratch the title of this post.
The problem exists when a PIN is used with the 'Lock' applet in Settings -> Personal -> Lock. When you have a PIN set to be required at startup, the phone will at times turn on by itself. Also, if you let the phone sit by itself for a few minutes, you will be able to turn it on with the 'end call' button! I have repeated this after several hard resets with no apps installed.
I originally thought an Exchange account created this problem because my hosted Exchange provider requires a PIN to be setup for the phone to communicate with the Exchange server. But, I know the Exchange account has nothing to do with the problem.
BUGS
BUGS
RINGING
Sometimes the phone does not ring as normal (sms do notify!), it displays only on screen without making any sound, not even vibration.
Happened once after weeks of usage:
SYNCRONIZING
Syncing with laptop not successfull. After all my calendar, contacts, to-do and task were deleted on unit. After that ActiveSync does not want to syncronize with phone anymore. Not even after deleting and creating a new partnership. The unit keep changing its ID; WM_Administrator1, 4, 6 etc.
Hardreset and reinstall of AS4.5 so far works.
GENERAL
*Display is not kept off when pressing the power-button slightly once. Some program forces it to turn on back-light, which makes the touch-screen active again. Active touch-screen in a pocket is a very bad combination. I dont use any exchange-account.
*Fast battery draining (tried every radio-rom, now running 2.07.20)
More bugs
And ofcourse;
Incoming MMS does not work. (outgoing does work!)

For me, this is the biggest drawback. Which apps do have installed, and have you tested them to determine which app might be involved in turning the device on by itself?
I have also noticed that I can even get the device to turn on with the end call button at times...
Do you have an Exchange email account?
EDIT18th Apr-07 08:48 (GMT+1):
BUGS
Still no incoming MMS, Ringing disappear from time to time (not sms). Screen still go on from time to time when display off(even on a clean hardreset).
Have not been able to reproduce contacts/calendar deletion via sync yet (it appeared after some weeks last time, fresh install now only 3 days)
(BTW; Since i have SmartV2, the extended rom does not install automatically. I therefore have installed the cab-files in folder "\extended_rom\" manually via total commander. If that has something to do with it)
I Confirm these bugs:
Earphone speaker too loud eventhough already set to the lowest volume.
- the HW buttons (green and red) have a lag sometimes, or dont respond too well while using the dialer.
Wow, amazing how fast this gets confusing. People please try to keep it clean!!!
If you find out something is not caused by the ROM itself (like Bongachalla just did), please edit your previous posts and delete these Bug reports.
As far as I understand Bongachalla had 4 Bugs (no MMS receiving, No Ringing from time to time, Sync deleted all contacts on PPC and Touchscreen activating by programs (check our Mortsaver for this btw.)).
Did all of these bugs disappear after your reinstall or what?
Please try to be exact with your bug reports and check if they appear with a clean installed ROM before you post them. Please search on board if there is a fix for them and post solution together with report if you find some. If you get any error message google it to find out what causes it.
This helps us all and raises the chances that someone will take the time to build a rom with bugs fixed. Thx.
BUG: The text or font cannot be changed in Outlook Mobile. Attempting to change the size of the text to bigger or smaller does nothing.
No more bugs?
Maybe you did read the original Smart1 tread, so you know he revived his S200 and announced release of v3 in the next weeks. So I guess its time to post any unknown bugs and confirm the known ones, so they can be fixed in this (I guess final)release.
Thank you for your help.

Another bug not yeat reported
I've looked every where and didn't found anything related with this bug.
My sms just get erased from the Text Messages folder each time I do a soft reset.
using smart1_wm6_pp8mb_NEW.v2 and the Prophet_G3_G4_RadioRom_v2.61.21, followed the instructions and runned all the cabs in the extended_rom.
Did i do anything wrong or is this really a bug
No bug ... its a config of the SMS store!
I dont want to spamn this post, so can you just redirect me to the instructions on how to change that? so when i do a reboot, the sms dont get lost? sorry for the off topic([email protected])
You can't change it! If you reset with your stylus you will probably loose messages.
Use pxshut or similar or turn off (hold power for three seconds)
The reset hole is for emergencies only. This is discussed in great detail in the Fantastic 1.1 thread and the Smartv2 thread.

Navigation light indicator

Folks, forgive me if this subject has already been addressed. I did run a search and found nothing relevant using "navigation" as my search criteria so here goes...
I used to own a t mobile mda compact and as I recall the nav button (circle) used to flash on a circular motion to give an indication of some sort of alert be it a missed call or a text message for example. Has this feature been overlooked on the Vario IV, touchpro or is there something I need to do in order to enable this useful feature?
If I am honest my patience is beginning to wear thin with this device and its growing list of flaws/missing features which have been left to talented guys on these forums to sort out. Surely T mobile has had plenty enough time iron out these things before this phones release.. (we waited long enough for the thing after all)
My TP does this with the stock rom, no tweak or setting were needed.
Same here.

Apparently you can turn the LED on or off doe missed calls and messages and things like that according to the posts below mine.
There is no way to turn the feature when charging. So if your navigation light does not work when the phone is charging. Then i would say try a hard reset (make sure you backup) and if that does not work then you might have to send your device for warranty or exchange it whatever your options are.
On my Vario IV the settings for flashing the light (around the touch circle thingummy - I really need to read up on what it's called) were disabled by default.
So, under settings/personal/sounds & notifications, check that in the notifications tab that "flash light" is checked for e-mail, text, whatever. Actually, just checked mine after a hard reset and had to re-enable

Actually there is a way to turn on/off the feature for different events (except charging).
Try Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications
When you choose something like New Text Message, you see an option to "Flash light". Check the box and choose how long you want the nav light to flash.
EDIT: Never mind...forgot to post it and it's a little late.
Thanks guys for your suggestions.. I'll try some of this stuff out and get back to you as to whether any of it worked for me.
Disabled Option
I saw this thread and thought that I'd like this too. I have a stock Sprint TP Rom. I checked out my notification settings and the Flash Light option is there for everything but Incoming Call. However, it's greyed out and won't let me check it. Is there a reason this would be disabled?

It probably becouse on incoming call the whole divice is waked up and the send key is blinking.
There is also settings>sounds and notifications>notifications "phone:missed calls". There you can set an action: popup, blinking and vibration.
hope this helps (names of the options translated from polish TP stock ROM so mey not be acurate )
BHole
Thanks folks..!!
Seems like I totally missed those options for the flashlight alerts. They all work for me now. I have combined them with various ringtones to differentiate the alerts i'm getting. It appears the flashlight indicates alerts even when the device is being charged. Thanks again guys, at least "SOMETHING" now works as expected.

HTC Touch PRO 2 - FULL OF BUGS - Please review these and let me know!!!!!

Hi Everyone -
I have used the HTC touch PRO for about 3 weeks now and I have to say it is FULL of bugs . Can you guys confirm or deny this:
1. If the phone is set to vibrate, it will go back to "RING" after a single call. Meaning if someone calls me once, it will go back to RING. This also happens if the ringer is set to Vibrate and Ring also.
2. When you make a call using the "dial pad", the "dial pad" disappears very quickly and goes to the main screen. Then you have to hit the DIAL button and then KEYPAD to get it back. It is very annoying when you call your bank or an airline where you have to go through a series of promts like entering your ID numbers, pins, etc.
3. The camera seems to come on sometimes by just touching the screen.
4. If you have multiple numbers associated with a contact (home, work, mobile etc), it shows one number when dialed. For example, when I dial my friends HOME number, it dials the home number correctly, but on the display it shows the MOBILE number being dialed.
5. Unable to send a CONTACT's info by SMS directly from the CONTACTS page. It will send a MMS but not a SMS. THis is when someone asks for a phone number of a person and you just want to send it automatically from your phone book.
I am sure there are other bugs also, but the above are the most annoying as hell.
I want to make sure this is with everyone or just my phone!
Thank you
hey,idk how helpful this willbe but it seems like these phones str8 out of the box are having problems...ive read that a hard reset will get rid of some of the unwanted bugs...you may try that
1. Just tested and after call vibrating stayed on.
2. The keypad goes away but not to the home screen. So all I have to do is hit on key, keypad to get back to it.
3. never had that happen.
4. Confirmed. Seems to default to the first number stored maybe??
5. Confirmed. Most likely because it is sending the vcard or something as an attachment???

My experience is the same with the Verizon branded TP2.
#5 It sends it as vCard attachement.
I Just open the contact info to edit then copy and past it into SMS.
Returning TP2 tomorrow
Used the TP2 for 3 weeks;
1. Screen clicks when touched, guess the slider hinge is loose;
2. Set vibrate then ring, keeps going back to ring only everytime the phone is powered off and back on, (standby on); this is the mode I use often, not to annoy people in meetings, and not to miss calls;
3. Cant set screen dim time to more than 10seconds, it dims after 10seconds no matter what the settting is;
4. Internet brower lunch from home gets stuck randomly, have to hit end go back to home, then internet again;
5. GPS performance with Sprint Navigation is much worse than Touch; It takes much longer to lock, and it lose GPS often; Maybe a software thing, Google map seems to work fine.
Non of the bugs are serious, but very annoying! The phone is too big, too heavy, too expensive ($349 from Sprint)! Miss the dial pad; The only good thing is the beautiful screen.
Hopefuly WM6.5 upgrade will fix these, but dont want to get stuck with waiting for the upgrade, I've just re-activated my old touch, and returning TP2 tomorrow.
You can add the issue of not being able to keep static IP's assigned to the network adapter for use while in your workplace or business, and then when not in the workplace haveing the ability to use sprints data services. In otherwords everything has to be dynamic. If you want to use static ip's while in range of wifi, you have to clear it out when you leave the wifi spot in order to use regular evdo.
gps is fast and accurate
fast if you disable touch flo and use mobile shell
Another bug
When viewing NFL mobile, after about two minutes into showing something, the phone reboots itself. Quite annoyin'!

1. I've heard of this happening after soft reset but it doesn't happen on my phone
2.Works perfectly fine on mine, all you do is hit the 'Keypad' button and it should stay up. if you end up at the home screen hit 'phone' and then keypad and you should be good....do you have a dialer skin on it?
3.Never happens for me
4. haven't tried, i don't have any contacts with multiple numbers
5. haven't tried but i usually just copy/paste phone numbers for sms
definitely try hard reset. and if it's got a warranty or anything like that you still have the option to return/exchange it
well speak of the devil my phone started showing some of these symptoms later in the evening and now even worse when i make calls i can hear people talking but they can hear me
a hard reset fixed it but when i restore my backup files it goes back to messing up so maybe it's one of the tweaks i ran?
is there a way to use sprite mobile to only restore contacts/sms? that's all i really need i'll think i'll hold off on the tweaks and just wait for the HSPL unlocker
Hope these problems are all fixed when the HardSPL is released.
As for now, I am holding my breath waiting to see if the gps problem is fixed on a new rom, waiting to buy this phone.

yeah, the real messed up part is verizon is out of stock with the phone. i went to a verizon store but they couldn't even replace it for me. i think the people over there are retarted cuz i've known it was out of stock but the dudes at the store didnt know and the guy they had me talking to on the phone didn't even know they didn't sell them in stores!
'you'll probably get the imaggio isntead it's the upgrade of your phone'...no stupid i need a keyboard
mine keeps switching from Ring and Vibrate to Ring as well

[APP] SmartPhoneCallVibrate

SmartPhoneCallVibrate is an application for Android Phones 2.0+ .
With this application when you receive a phone call, SmartPhoneCallVibrate will check if you have your phone in your pocket/holster. If your phone is in a closed environment (in your pocket/holster), then the phone will vibrate. If your phone is in a open environment (on the table), then the phone wont vibrate.
This is done using the proximity sensor.
You can find this app on the Market - "SmartPhoneCallVibrate" or "Carsten"
More info can be found on my website:

If you like this app, you might also want to check out "SmartSMSVibrate". Similar functionality, other than it handles SMS/Text Messages. FREE

This is a really cool feature.
Is it possible for you to integrate the functionality of SmartSMSVibrate in this app so I don´t have to install two separate apps?
The SMS functionality is good and you can choose the vibration patterns, one, two or the vibrations.
The phone settings can't be the same.
I want the phone to vibrate the vibration pattern until I pick up the call, not as it is now, one, two or three vibrates and then nothing.
