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?

Why do yo care?
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......
My push notifications from thirdparty apps and live tiles stop working very regularyly which is a shame since the platform heavily depends on this.
It fails to open a channel etc.
Is microsoft fixing this bug in the os? Since now they say yeah just do a factory rest and it should be fine. But i dont wat to lose my settings.
And a restart temporarely fixes it but after an hour or so its terrible again.
or are the ms servers just over crowded already? I dont like apple but my dads iphone just kept working while mine stopped receiving the toasts

Toasts and tile updates come from the app developers servers, so depending on the platform they use there may be some down time. The Beezz twitter client occasionally stops working, but it's a free app and not ad supported so we should be lucky it has toasts and tile notifications at all.

not really since tested with the same apps at the same time. Its probably because it goes to the ms servers and fails to deliver timely. Also the unable to open a channel is not related to their servers i believe? Its related to a channel not able to open on the ms servers. Downtime should probably be equal when using the same apps on ios and wp7 sending out to each other, the messages do get delivered in app just no or really really delayed notifications. Like 20 minutes and then it just works normal for a while.. Then stops again. Other than this i really like the platform.
So i wonder does anybody else experience trouble? And which is the program you use which seems to be stable all times?
I'm experiencing the same troubles on my omnia 7.
Following programs do have some problems:
-Fim: Unable to open the channel - push notifications don't work anymore.
-TextMe: Push Notifications sometimes work - but with a delay of approx. 20 minutes
Following programs don't have any problems:
-Hotmail
-Messenger by Miyo
----------------------------------------
This is really annoying - since a "usual" restart of the device doesn't help, i think i will have to do a hard reset (i wonder if this will help at all). But i don't want to lose all my settings, installed applications, short messages etc. So this really is a PITA.

hardreset, would that really help? I think it wont really help. I have the same phone same apps and same problems also with tigertext send to wp7 and notes to tile.
i dont have the time and or want to hardreset. It might be a driver thing with the 3g etc. If nobody with other phones is experiencing this. I think hardreset changes nothig and will return to same behaviour. I will hardreset when the update comes or see if this will fix it.
20 Minutes is just strange conpared to instant on iphone and happens a lot
Pff
Did a hardreset. Tested the push again, ait a damn thing changed besides that I lost all my settings and stuff. Its just not working right. And probably a samsung driver or a ms server/os issue....
Does nobody else experience push notification downtime? Or delays? It's just not the way it should work. IM apps and Text replacement apps can never work properly in the background with these delays...
@Marvin_S which apps, specifically are you having trouble with? It could very well be that the developers servers have been down or slow.
I haven't had any Live Tile problems that couldn't directly be traced back to either the app dev's server or the way they've implemented notifications. Not on my Omnia 7 nor the HD2. Afaik, and I'm pretty sure I'd have heard about it - the wife's Omnia7 is doing just fine also. Have you tried flashing the new updated ROM? That seemed to fix a bunch of data issues.
Oh, as for the 20 minute thing, I've never seen this. Beezz for example notifies me (via toasts) in about a second or so.
Beezz has never worked for me. I always get an error whenever I try to enable push. The same happens for GReadie. I get a fail to open channel error. The weatherbug app also stopped working.
Right now my HTC hub live tile works. Its the only 3rd party live tile app I use.

Well I seem to be running the latest version pre-installed by samsung... i asked in the omnia7 forum what kind of rom I was running.
Well the thing is, it builds up all the notifications and than releases them all after each other 20 minutes later.
Basically these apps: Textme and tigertext (which I tried later to see if it could replace textme, very kind and responsive developers btw)
Also send to wp7, which often than comes up with the failed to open channel stuff.
If this rom should rely fix it, then I will just reflash it eve though its exactly the same rom... I think it has something to do with losing 3g+ signal, or wifi drops.
I'm testing the reliablility heavily since I such problems by sending constant test messages to myself (or to the echo server) the messages are received fine, but the toast is so unreliable.
Can you maybe type the versions of your firmware so I can compare it with mine? Because its for sure not an app problem since the messages all come later from diffrent apps. My test flow is like this: Open app, send message, close, send message with the second app, close and than wait. If it takes to long, open app again, resend. Sometimes it works quite right for a while, than teribly bad.
And note that I'm from a crowded area with lots of cellphone towers and have also good wifi coverage in the places I tested it. Same apps on the iphone work without problems, I compared side by side as well.
So it might just be my omnia, thats why I would like to hear which versions you are running. Since hardreset did not change a thing, I'm starting to believe its or a driver problem or ms-servers are overcrowded. I would like to try beez and see if its diffrent, however I dont havee twitter and i guess its required.
I don't think the newer ROM from Samsung fixes anything, because i installed it. Version 2424.10.11.1
but perhaps the region affects this problem, e.g. North-American Azure-Servers work fine while European Servers are struggling.
I personally have massive problems with push notifications since monday or so, and it's really starting to pi** me off!
Hard resetting idny going to fix anything permenitly because it is not the phone it is the apps just gotta wait for and update to fix

Weird. I'm using Beezz, SendToWP7, uController, eBay, Weatherbug and probably a few others using toast and/or live tile notification. Beezz server seems to go down every so often, but both uController and SendToWP7 notifies me real quick.
I'm running the latest Omnia 7 ROM as people said it was slightly faster and had a better data connection - that said, I was entirely happy with the phone even before updating.
I did a hard reset/reinstall of my apps and such, I'm still having intermittent push problems with some apps, and with others the push won't work at all. I will say that it seems to be the same apps having the same problems, and the ones that always have worked (weather bug) still work.
I'm thinking (hoping, praying!) this is a problem simply because of the infancy of the OS...I remember the first iphone, which I bought on day one, had all sorts of problems and "gaps" in technology

oKe im running the latest rom since the beginning. Created fake twitter account sended a ton of messages. Crap as hell, very unreliable and today i was not able to load fb app data on 3g full bars. So it can be a phone problem on drivers with data over 3g, while 3g+ works fine. Probably euopean servers are overloaded than. Does changing my location from USA based (im dutch) To germany change the servers as well? Bc germany is much closer thus more reliable?

this is not the case, read my post. Has nothing to do with the apps since ALL apps behave like this, it has nothing to do with the apps itself but probably slow ms servers. So no this is really an os or server or device firmware problem and not an app. Since all notifications come at the same time all after eachother highly delayed.
Apps have own servers they Sony go threw ms os is not mad for apparently apparently are made for os if apparently no work on os they need update

its not the problem of the apps! Since all apps fail at the same time to update. This is no coincidence, only a restart or waiting will solve this and than all notifications not yet delivered by multiple apps come at once! Now tell me how this is an app poblem,its the phone who is not able to receive the push even on wifi. The apps do deliver, but there is a huge delay even with beez which i checked with fake twiter account.
Every once in a while the phone just fails to receive any data based push notifications! All of them. While i do have wifi and or 3g. On 3g+ it seems to be more stable.
This could be europe related or omnia related. And narrowing this down will help dtermine the issue, since the apps are not the problem. These work fine for the others...

It is neither Europe or Omnia related as I'm using the 16GB Omnia7 in Europe (slightly north of you) at the moment without fail.
If it really is all apps, I would suggest there is a problem with your data connection - are you able to browse the web properly and without pages having to reload or taking a long time to open? If not, make sure you are indeed within range of, either, 3G/HSDPA or WiFi - if you are, and it works fine on another phone/laptop I would say you have a hardware fault and need to take the device back for a replacement.
Several things to be aware of with live tiles and notifications.
I am a developer of a few apps and offer push notification and live tile updates i have done alot of testing and know the ins and outs of this..
1st there is a such thing of the phone not being able to "open a notification channel" and Hard Reset is the only way to correct this.
2nd it is possable that the app developer side to also be the problem not sending because of their service going down server problems etc.
3rd when your batt. get to be less than 1/4 percent the notification service shuts down on the phone and you will not recieve updates. once the batt is above the 1/4 percent the service will then start working again.
4th sometimes the push service is delayed due to MS.
Hope this helps to better understand.

is anybody else noticing issues where apps that use internet crash constantly? E.G. When installing Asphalt 6 it crashes about 30 times which i have to keep resuming saying there was downloading errors. Not to mention i have to wait about 3 minutes after hitting download for apps in the market to actually download? Is anybody else experiencing these issues? Please make yourself known if you are and if somebody has generated a fix for this PLEASE tell me.
[[[[[[SOLUTION]]]]]]]]
Okay so i found out theres a bug with the 3.2 update. At least in my case. Maybe others who just arent aware yet. I hosted tests. I installed asphalt 6 on my 3.2 rooted unlocked setup. the download failed about 30 times intermittently. slowly downloaded entire thing failing and restarting throughout.
Then i removed my root and relocked my device and factory reset it(still on 3.2 just deleted all my data). Posted same test with same results. So then i flashed my device to 3.0 and upgraded to 3.1 DID NOT UPDATE TO 3.2. Did the same test downloading asphalt. It downloaded all 500+mb of data in one run without failing. Aswell as my Gtalk has been sitting for an hour and hasnt logged me off once.
So my conclusion is that 3.2 brings unstable wifi connections and therefor i will stay at 3.1 until a new update is released!!! THANKS!!!!!
Again this may not bother others but if im doing video on talk i hate having to recall every 5 minutes and i hate having to constantly try to redownload files when they fail.

ALSO google talk logs me out every few minutes.
..anybody?
No issues like that to report here. I'm running tiamat rom 2.0 now, but I was running 3.2 stock before and it was fine.
hmm
I think i figured the market part out... I hit download app it says waiting for install. I click on my apps in the top corner then hit back twice then go to the app again and instead of download it says install. REALLY WEIRD market glitch...
Now for Gtalk. Is anybody else having issues where it logs you out ever 5 to 10 minutes saying issues connecting to server?
It would be nice to know im not the only one having issues downloading large files on 3.2 Just so i can know for sure i dont have defective hardware.

I don't think this is related but whenever I have had trouble downloading, I check to see if I have any app updates waiting. They seem to take priority over new downloads.
I notice that too but unfortuneatly this is just when i was downloading 1 large file. I dont know why but for some god awful reason my wifi connection reset like ever 5-10 minutes causing issues for every app that needs internet access. But now on 3.1 its working flawlessly. Along with the benefit of having swype keyboard
I am starting to narrow this bug down, and should be fixesd in the next tiamat rom.
I am using Tiamat 2.01 and am experiencing extreme slowness on anything over wifi. This is on a U.S. wifi only. As I'm typing this there is a several second lag from when I hit the key to the time it displays. What I don't remember is whether it started when I went from Tiamat 1.1 to 2.0 or from 2.0 to 2.01.

Man i really dont think its your fault for this bug. Whenever i upgraded to 3.2 stock alone this issue arises. I guarantee you its the fault of the stock rom. thats when i experience the issue. ive tried updating to just stock 3.2 3 times now from 3.1. 3.1 is always fine. No download issues. It downloads whole files in bulk without failing. But it never fails. Every time i upgrade to 3.2 stock i get failures throughout the large file downloads.
Any news? out of curiosity.
I am sure this was discussed somewhere else, but if you set up the WiFi profile with a static IP this issue goes away. It is definitely a bug in stock 3.2 where DHCP continuously reassigns and IP address every few minutes causing all downloads and GTalk sessions to be disconnected. Now I know static IP addresses are not always possible, but strangly what I found on my stock 3.2 Xoom is that as soon as I had ONE profile setup to use static IP, the other profiles that were setup to use DHCP no longer had this problem. Really strange.
My problem is that everything over wifi was slow with several second lags between the time you hit a key and the time it displayed that character. Even just scrolling on a webpage was excruciatingly slow. Local apps ran fine. I thought I would give your idea a try, so I went into my AT&T U-verse modem and left DHCP enabled for my Xoom's IP address, but I dedicated that address to my Xoom. I then rebooted the Xoom and without making it a static IP address my network speed was very fast.
Hopefully that helps anyone who is having the same issue, but doesn't want to set a static IP address.
anyone make any progress on this yet? I just flashed the 3.2 Tiamat 2.01 ROM, coming from Tiamat 1.1 and am unable to complete the download of themes in thumb keyboard and other apps that allow for in-app downloads. I am assuming that the problem is related to this. Does that sound correct?
Does anyone else have the problem of their Exchange/ActiveSync profile just randomly disappearing? It's happened 4 times now. Driving me crazy. Any advise? I can set it down and pick it up 15 minutes later and the profile is gone!
I'm running a stock/non-rooted GT6800 w/ an AT&T SIM. My exchange server is 2010. Everything works perfectly when the profile is there.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
Honestly I wouldn't care, but most of my contacts are in Exchange and when I lose the profile, I have to re-enter some of the contact info in the phone that exchange doesn't save (Ringtone, etc.)
-TheFixer
Same happens to me. I thought I've done something wrong. But obviously it was not me but Samsung...
Don't know how to solve it other than using another Exchange app or wait until Q3 for the ICS update...
I'm running Tweaked Stock ROM V3 and I only sync mail, no contacts or calender and I've never lost any info or had any trouble? I'm connected to SBS2003.
Having the same issue. I've had my Tab 10 days now and during that time my activesync account has disappeared 3 times now. Have no idea yet what's causing it to happen.
I ended up just using the Touchdown app instead of the built in exchange client.

Still happening here. I am still on 3.2. I wonder if fixed on 4.0?
going to ICS fixed that problem for me

I have not had the problem going since going to ICS with exchange. you have lots of choices on which ROM version to install. the instructions on this site are excellent and should be followed to eliminate problems when you upgrade. hope all goes well.
Same issue with mine.
Mine is rooted with stock rom (3.2).
My exchange account stops working after around 2-3 weeks. It tells me it is something to do with a security certificate.
I then have to remove it and re-enter everything again to get it back
Kind of same issue for me under ICS. It sometimes loses all the Exchange information (Contacts, emails, etc...) and then redownloads everything
Needless to say it is costly in battery life and bandwidth use
That seriously pisses me off, since I had similar problems with my Samsung original Tab 7 !!!! Unbelievable they haven't improved since
Only way onmy Tab for me to ahve something working decently was imply to switch to CM...
Xperia XZ3 (H9493) - 52.1.A.0.672 - RU version
Notification seek bar bug - STILL!!! – If I’m playing media through chrome, soundcloud or another app, the notification seek bar does not work in most situations. This has been a bug since the initial Android 10 roll out and I’m still shocked that we’re still going through this.
Swipe up from the lock screen – I’ve noticed this since the update from Android 9 to 10. It used to be a quick flick of the thumb where I could go from the notifications on the lock screen to the security pattern. Now since the A10 update, I can’t do that anymore. It is a longer swipe, more exaggerated swipe to get to the security options. It was easier with 1 hand before and it needs to go back to whatever it was in Android 9
Camera – Still gives error unknown error. It’s MUCH EASIER to fix than the first and second android 10 releases but it still shouldn’t be like this. It’s at the point where I don’t know if it’s an actual software or hardware problem. And with everything that’s going on, I probably won’t be able to confirm for the next 6 months. I'll probably end up wasting$200 fixing the hardware, that was really a software issue all along.
Fingerprint – Good, I believe either at or close to Android 9 speed
Battery – Good
Networking issues – I believe better than the last update. It seems good so far so
No idea why the software version has to be in the notification quick settings. That doesn’t need to be there. It’s out of place/doesn't add value by being there
I am so frustrated by Sony. They’re taking steps to fix this but damn you should have been on the ball. I do a clean install each update because I don't trust Sony to do this correctly.
This phone is like the Renault Formula 1 team. It's a great product and each update is a step further but holy **** you all should have been a lot farther along by now. Now Mclaren (One Plus) is starting to pass you.
Edit: I forgot to add this earlier. I found a bug by random. In dark mode, About phone -> Emergency Information, the notification bar text is black. So you've got a dark screen with black text.

Xperia XZ3 (H9493) - 52.1.A.0.672 - RU version
Notification seek bar bug - STILL!!! – If I’m playing media through chrome, soundcloud or another app, the notification seek bar does not work in most situations. This has been a bug since the initial Android 10 roll out and I’m still shocked that we’re still going through this.
Swipe up from the lock screen – I’ve noticed this since the update from Android 9 to 10. It used to be a quick flick of the thumb where I could go from the notifications on the lock screen to the security pattern. Now since the A10 update, I can’t do that anymore. It is a longer swipe, more exaggerated swipe to get to the security options. It was easier with 1 hand before and it needs to go back to whatever it was in Android 9
Camera – Still gives error unknown error. It’s MUCH EASIER to fix than the first and second android 10 releases but it still shouldn’t be like this. It’s at the point where I don’t know if it’s an actual software or hardware problem. And with everything that’s going on, I probably won’t be able to confirm for the next 6 months. I'll probably end up wasting$200 fixing the hardware, that was really a software issue all along.
Fingerprint – Good, I believe either at or close to Android 9 speed
Battery – Good
Networking issues – I believe better than the last update. It seems good so far so
No idea why the software version has to be in the notification quick settings. That doesn’t need to be there. It’s out of place/doesn't add value by being there
I am so frustrated by Sony. They’re taking steps to fix this but damn you should have been on the ball. I do a clean install each update because I don't trust Sony to do this correctly.
This phone is like the Renault Formula 1 team. It's a great product and each update is a step further but holy **** you all should have been a lot farther along by now. Now Mclaren (One Plus) is starting to pass you.
Edit: I forgot to add this earlier. I found a bug by random. In dark mode, About phone -> Emergency Information, the notification bar text is black. So you've got a dark screen with black text.

It's possible it's a hardware problem. It happens to me too but it was worse with the initial A10 update. My understanding is if you squeeze beside the camera when turning the phone, it can solve the issue. This is because it's a possible loose ribbon.
The initial A10 release was terrible so flash up to .672 and it may fix the problem (if it's a software issue)

Hey I am also facing this problem on my xz3 dual. Failed to restart the camera is consistently occuring in the past few weeks but restarting the phone worked then. But now its been almost 2 days, camera app says unknown error, I tried everything mentioned above but still unable to resolve the issue. Kindly let me know if downgrading the firmware resolves the issue.
Thank you

Today I downgrade my Xz3 H9493 to android
9 but my camera didn't get back.So I decided
to check hardware.that is really sad.
Coz I have to take out all water proof
Seal from my back cover .After that I found
my Camera connector is loose.That's why
occurring unknowm error and after
2 or 3 days is good again.At last that is
not a software error at all.
I got error while enabling tethering
Anyone else?
I'm having signal issues. Dropping connection all the time. Latest firmware hurt this badly.
Same SIM on a Samsung A30S on android 9 works fine.
Hello guys. I need your help finding 52.1.A.0.618 for H9436
