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?

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......
Ok, not sure what the problem is but for the past 3 hours, I have NOT been able to update the stocks tab on my HD2. The weather tab along with twitter update just fine and the stocks tab WILL update over wifi. Just not my edge connection. Was working earlier today but stopped out of the blue. Anybody know what may be causing this? Driving me nuts!
Hi All,
Have been using Spb Weather 2.2x for some time now without issues. It has suddenly stopped working properly this month with the weatherzone template version 03.12.2009. I now only get temperatures for 2 days and only the max. The min is set to the max. Anyone know what has happened. Did some search on Google to no avail. Is it coincidental that it stopped working 2 years after the version date?
Thanks in advance,
Vlad
Just an idea:
Maybe the template to pull data from the weather service has changed (only guaranteed to stay the same for 2 years?), so now the wrong data is being pulled and parsed.
Hello,
Although my post count will show I am totally new here. I am quite comfortable with flashing/etc.
I have been running the Synergy rom since 1.4 and I absolutely love it.
(full wipe of the phone)
I recently installed the R67 nightly (wiped cache/dalvik)
After R67, I noticed that my browser would not load pages completely. It would show about 90% on the status bar and it just stops.
I have had the problem before on my HTC Incredible so I went through the normal motions.
Tested Wifi/3g/4g....all show the same behavior.
Cleared "data" for the app...
Cleared app cache....
Wiped system cache...
Force closed the app...
This was all still showing the same result.
I installed Chrome...same result?
That kinda threw me...I was expecting it to be limited to the stock browser.
I installed Firefox...eureka! it is working now....for about 4 pages...now the same thing is happning to it.
I hate to even appear to be calling out the Synergy guys. I think they have a great ROM, but it is the last thing to change on my phone. So I am reaching.
I did go through a few recommendations from other phone models, remove proxy from APN settings..etc..
I can not seem to figure it out.
Anyone else on R67 seeing this? Is it something more fundamental to the phone itself?

Love your opening line, I am in the same boat in regards to post count!
Have you flashed over the latest R68? I did not use 67 at all, infact started at 64, played with some JB developments, and came back to the most current 68 (with a darkhorse rises awesome theme!). I did not have any browser issues on the 64 build, and have "none" on the 68 build - well sort of: I have noticed that when I have been on wifi for a while, when disabling wifi, the data connection (which shows in the status bar as ok) seams to freeze up. Similar symptoms of what you described. What I had to do was disable the auto wifi connect, open an instant data drawing app (play store), close it, re-open it once or twice and boom! 4g data as advertised snaps back into action without any issues until I start using wifi again for a long period. This freeze appears to only happen when the auto wifi connect is enabled (need to verify that a bit). I would flash the current nightly and test. Chrome also seams to work a bit better than the stock browser, as it should. Stick with the rom, as you know its great. Hope that helps.
Just got the SM-G920I via the Monoprice deal. It came loaded with 5.1.1 and upon startup did a Samsung update to bring it to the latest firmware. It's stock and not rooted right now. Put in my AT&T SIM and works fine with LTE and everything else. That's the good part. Given it comes with no warranty, I only have about 5 more days to decide whether to keep it or return it. Not being a Touchwiz fan, I installed some alternative launchers I've used in the past (Nova Prime, Action Launcher 3 Pro and Smart Launcher Pro). I can't diagnose any particular repeatable event, but every once in a while (several times a day) the phone just appears to restart showing the Samsung splash screen bringing you to to lock screen. It doesn't seem to be a full reboot as you don't see the initial "Android" screen and the "recent" menu is still full with the apps in place before the restart. Is this a common Samsung feature/bug other see? Does it seem like the phone might have faulty hardware? I did check for it being a fake, but it seems 100% genuine Samsung. For as painful as it is, I'm now using it under Touchwiz just to see if there is some incompatibility with 3rd party launchers. Any advice?
I don't have any such problem with the same device bought on eBay from monoprice and att network
That's not normal. Try a factory reset if you have the time or just return it
Clearing the cache partition is seeming to help. No soft reboots since doing it. Hope this doesn't jinx me - knock on Gorilla Glass.
I had the same problem and found out it only happened when I was out and about (away from my normal wifi connection) and the phone tried to connect to other wifi networks.
I reset all my wifi access points with an app called wifi fix and rescue, and no more soft reboots since.

My problem is different, and it has returned, but not as bad. Have since reset the phone and started from scratch. I'm trying to see if certain apps are the problem like Gravity Screen. Also, for the time being, I haven't disabled any of the S-crap "added value" loaded on the phone (except S-Voice because it wouldn't let me use Google Now voice recognition without nuking S-Voice). Before I was selectively disabling higher level apps I don't use like Facebook, and all the Microsoft apps. That shouldn't have made a difference. I might still return it and just get a Nexus 5x instead.
Sent the S6 back to Monoprice today. Crashes still remained about once a day. I liked the form factor, screen and camera. Fingerprint reader wasn't 100%, but not too bad most of the time. If it came with a Nexus style software distribution, it would be a killer device assuming no hardware problems. Just seems so senseless for Samsung to invest such effort into duplicating so many of the stock features just so they can create the illusion they are adding value with S-this-and that. I counted about 1.4 GB of bloatware you can't delete. They should completely follow the approach of Motorola and deliver a stock distribution with a couple of added unique capabilities which actual work and are useful. No need for a parallel Samsung app store. If they really don't think the stock launcher is adequate, include a $5 play store credit good towards any number of incredible 3rd party launchers (e.g. Action, Nova, Smart, ...). No, TouchWiz wouldn't be on that list. Waiting for delivery of a Nexus 5x; not as premium build-wise, but stock distribution and knowing security patches will come on a regular basis counts for a lot especially since much of the premium build of the S6 just gets covered by a case anyways.
