Hi, I've looked around a bunch and haven't found an answer to this, but in the latest lollipop builds, going back maybe a week or two, the music in my library, no matter what app I use, are displayed in alphabetical order (happens on all the lollipop builds I've tried). This was never a problem at all and it seems to be only a few mp3 albums that remained in the right order. The track number tags are intact on all the tracks, it just seems as if no app will read them or put them in the right order.
Is anyone else having this problem? I would like to avoid renaming all my tracks with a 01 and 02.
Thanks in advance for help!
Sorry to double post, but has no one really had this problem?

Hi folks,
I've read volumes of posts about all kinds of wonderful cooked ROMs in addition to the many shipped/oem and HTC ROMs that are available for the Kaiser. It's been a challenge to figure out a way to pick one and I am hoping to get a little guidance from some of you have have tried many of these ROMs already.
I have an AT&T Tilt and I have recently tried the 2nd HTC wm61 ROM (the one that can't reboot itself.) If it wasn't for the fact that it keeps locking up on me (seems like something that happens when an Alarm goes off?) I would probably be happy with it. I like to have the newest stuff, but that locking up (the phone won't receive calls, sometimes the whole thing just seizes up) just won't work for me.
I'm looking for a ROM that is close to a stock 6.1 but with most of the user applications left out so I can choose my own to install. I'd like to find one that pretty much looks like a stock ROM (menus and apps placed in the typcial locations) but just as lite as possible so I can select my own audio player, etc.
Can anybody suggest which of the various cooked ROMs I should look at? I just don't have the time to look at all the great stuff that is available right now, so I'd appreciate any thoughts you have to limit the ROMs I should look at.
Thanks very much for any guidance. Please let me know if I have left out any important considerations you would want to know before suggesting choices.
thanks again,

The only way to find out which ROM is for you is to take the TIME and find out......
try Duttys newest lite ROM, so how it goes
my first flash was Dutty's about a week ago. So far so good...unlike the oem ROM, the phone hasn't lock up on me yet.
CHEFS: Disregard what I said below. I'm not convinced this is an issue in the ROMs after all. At least not yet. Mods, feel free to move this to the regular Raph forum or wherever's appropriate. Still investigating ...
-----
Hey Chefs -- Looks like at least some ROMs floating around are missing the latest Daylight Savings information. I discovered it using Proven, but since you guys build on one another's work, I'd be surprised if it's not in some of the other ROMs too.
Fix is here:

WM6.1 roms have this build in. That fix was from wm 5 and 6.
This is the Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 6 (Pocket PC and Smartphone) update to address DST related issues in 2008 due to revised Daylight Saving Time laws in many countries.

That's what I thought, but the issue I described with my scheduling problem was indeed fixed by installing it.
Maybe something in my setup is an anomoly -- can any one else check on their post-March 8 events and see if they have a similar problem? And then see if this fixes it? It likely only comes up if you create an event in a system that knows the correct DST, then sync it to your phone.
It's possible that my DST information was overwritten somehow by some other software I've installed, but I can't think of what. I'll experiment after a hard reset and see if I get the same problem.

It is possible the fix was accidently removed from you rom. Or an older file was used for compatibility.
Stranger and stranger. The issue came back. Reinstalled the cab, it was fixed. Then it came back again (not sure if a soft reset triggered it, or possibly a sync with nuevasync). So probably not a ROM issue after all. I'd invite any mod to move this thread somewhere more appropriate. Still investigating ...
yupp i just looked at mine and it seems to have the same issue. I'm running RRE V4.4
edited
could have happened through outlook sync
I appear to have solved, or at least worked around, this issue by turnign off the option to change time zones and clocks in settings-personal-phone-time zones.
I imagine this is either: Something screwy with AT&T, or an unanticipated issue with AT&T's US settings and the ROM, since the ROM wasn't built specifically for the US (but certainly works on US devices).
I'd also guess that these events might correct themselves once we're actually in the DST period, but appear wrong until then. Probably because AT&T would compensate for the DST on its official clocks, as not all phones are smart enough to just work with the GMT behind the scenes and adjust appropriately.
However, just like before when I "fixed" it with the cab -- timed events have been corrected to their right times. Existing all-day events remain on the wrong day. New all-day events show up on the correct day.
If you believe something is missing from a rom, please post it in the thread for that rom so the chef would actually see it.
I -think- I finally found more on this:
It seems to come up if the phone is both:
1) Set to get Time Zones and clocks from the carrier
AND 2) If the registry setting to automatically change over for DST is turned off (this can be found in the misc. section of Advanced Config).
At least, this combo seems to cause it on AT&T.
If I'm not mistaken, these are both the default settings in the ROM I've been using.
It would come up if you create a time after the DST switchover (March 8) in something that syncs with the phone (in my case, my google calendar). You'd see the entry on the phone be one hour too early after it syncs.
Just a note: I'm still testing to make sure this is really the issue, but it seems to be bearing out so far.
Hey there. First time I've started a thread in here in a while but these 2 issues have been plaguing me for quite some time... Ever since I've been using Comm5 builds as a matter of fact.
For my first issue - I have a visual glitch in my phone canvas(See screenshot below) that has really started to IRK me.
Facts:
WM Version:
Code:
WM6.5.5 Build 23563
Phone Canvas Build:
Code:
PACKAGE_LEO_TMOUS_Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_2G_4_2_62120113626_0
Device:
Code:
You guessed it.. T-Mobile HD2
I've also attached the phone canvas itself so you can look at the actual files I'm using.
Now for the second issue - When I go to add a new task that has to have a start/due date assigned to it, I can't select a new date. I click on the date box and it auto-fills but doesn't let me actually use the date picker or the WM Calendar Popup box. In essence, I can't actually set dates for my Tasks when I need to add them. This would be much less of an issue if there was a better 3rd party tasks application available but sadly as of right now there isn't one so I really need the WM tasks app fixed.
As I'm sure you might have already guessed from either my signature or the first half of this post, I'm using the 23563 build from Da_G's thread.
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
DH
Bumping this. Still have the problems and still seeking an answer.
+1 on not being able to set start / due date for tasks.
the date entry looks like it is selected, and one expects a date picker to popup, but nothing.
Bumping again. Still seeking a fix for the phone canvas and tasks in WM6.5.5 build 23563.
Bumping this again... Please help. The Tasks issue isn't nearly as important as the phone canvas glitch but honestly they're both driving me crazy...
I'm really desperate to get this fixed... I've searched for almost a week now and exhausted all my resources to find what is causing this issue.
Hi there friend,
Try HTC's website for downloads on your phone they have tons of bug fixes available. Some reason they only have the downloads available on the backdoor europe side, but looks like same phone - so at least it can point you in right direction.

Thanks for the tip. I just checked that link and unfortunately none of the fixes available on their site are relevant to my issue.
@everyone else - Still seeking a fix.
hi. Finally found a working alternative for the buggy tasks in 6.5.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591794
works with the built in tasks, so they sync as normal with outlook, and since i am using cookies home tab mod, i can alter the default program to open when i click on a task to be this rather than the built in tasks.
Not ideal, i would have preferred to fix it, (i tried by cooking in an older version of tasks.exe and tasks.dll, but no joy) but better than no start/due time for tasks!

Thanks this does help a little. Makes tasks usable at least.

Still seeking a fix for the phone canvas bug. Have exhausted all resources. REALLY need some help!!
First of all, let me say that not only am I new to android, I am also new to smartphones in general. So when - in your amusing video, which I quite enjoyed watching - you say 'noob'...I mean NOOB!
I have Googled this problem extensively and have posted this question on 5 other android support forums over the last month or so, and although it seems (from my research) many people have this or a similar issue, no-one has come up with a solution. A forum memer from one of those websites has now suggested I post this here. I have, before posting, searched this site also for a solution, but it appears that although some have a similar problem, there has not yet been a solution found, or the advice given hasn't worked in my case.
So here's hoping somebody here can help with this irritating and inconvenient issue:
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace
Carrier: Virgin Mobile
Country / Language: UK/English
OS / Browser / build number: Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
I am having the problem where I have set custom ringtones for some of my contacts, but they are not always being played as they are assigned.
I have all of my ringtones in an folder on my sd card (/sdcard/ringtones, having moved them from /sdcard/media/audio/ringtones to see if this solved the issue. It didn't)). I have a custom ringtone (mp3) set as the default ringtone and a couple of other custom ringtones set for a few of my contacts. However, when I receive a call the phone does not play the correct custom ringtone for that caller but instead plays the custom ringtone assigned to the previous person that called. If the caller is also the previous person to have called me, then it will play the correct ringtone, as they are the previous caller. (If that makes sense??)
To reproduce: Basically I install some mp3s onto my SD card. I go into my contacts, choose a contact, then click 'edit'. I then set the desired ringtone as the custom ringtone for that contact and click 'save'. When that contact rings, instead of the assigned ringtone, my phone plays the ringtone of the person who called me before that. When the next person rings, it plays the ringtone it should have played for the last contact. And so on. When I check the details for that contact, it confirms the ringtone I had chosen is still selected for that contact, it just doesn't play that one, but the one of the previous caller.
In addition to posting on Android help forums, I have also reported this bug to Samsung, although I'm not convinced it is a Samsung problem as clearly (according to my research) it is happening across the board with several other makes of Android phones. However, the reply I received from Samsung was:
"Thank you for contacting Samsung. As of yet, Google has not developed a fix for this fault so we may have to have the phone taken in by one of our engineers without any real guarantee it will be resolved. We could set this up for you but you may have to wait 28 days for the phone to be returned to you."
I am sorry, but I think it is unreasonable to be expected to give my phone up for a month, with no guarantee the issue will be sorted, just to be able to use a facility Samsung state is already available on the phone when it is clearly not.
I am inclined to believe this is an Android problem, and therefore would really appreciate any advice/a fix/solution anyone on here may be able to offer.
Thank you.
This problem - or lack of a solution - is really annoying me now as no-one seems to have a fix for it. I have over the last month posted on 6 forums: Android Central, Android Forums, Android Community, Google Android Support, OHA Project Issues and XDA developers. In total the post has had over 2500 views but NO solution!
I have also submitted the issue to Samsung - they don't know how to fix it either!
Have I got the only unfixable problem ever to affect an android phone??!!
I just don't understand why the developers of both the phone and the operating system can't solve a problem in their own product!
PLEASE, can anyone help?
"Have I got the only unfixable problem ever to affect an android phone??!!"
Looks like it
Thanks for all the interest. Not.
Well. I was advised to post this question on here by a couple of other Android forums, as they said you guys love trying to find solutions to this kind of thing.
But not even any interest or replies or even acknowledgement, least of all any suggestions.
Guess those Android forums just got it wrong.....
It might be true that Samsung can't do much to fix this, it's clearly a software problem and maybe it has not been fixed by Google (or maybe it has been fixed and you don't have the OS version that has the fix, i.e. Gingerbread 2.3.6/2.3.7)
I'm sorry to see that nobody replied to this yet, but the reason might be simply because nobody really knows how to fix (if possible) this problem. Again, this is a software problem and Samsung doesn't have much to do here, so you could try and flash a newer OFFICIAL rom for your Ace, as custom roms might have some other bugs. (You could try with CyanogenMod maybe?)
I hope you can find a way to make it work good luck.
Device: Samsung Galaxy Ace
Carrier: Orange Romania
OS: Android Gingerbread 2.3.3
I too have had a similar problem: when a normal contact calls it uses default ringtone... when a custom ringtone contact calls after that, the same default ringtone is used... if the custom contact calls again the custom ringtone is used.
Possible solution:
Put all ringtones in SDcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones
Go to Contact -> Edit -> Ringtone -> select Sound -> browse SDcard/Media/Audio/Ringtones and select your custom .mp3 file -> Save Contact
Test to see if it works and then reboot and see if it still works.
Please reply or press Thanks button to let me know how it turned out

Thanks, but I had already tried this in the beginning, but no luck
I'm sorry to hear that... That exact method helped me. It may still have a glitch every week or so but it doesn't happen very often.
unbelievable, looks like there is truly no solution.. screw everything that Android has to offer if something as trivial as this can't be fixed.
**EDIT**
Thanks to everyone who considered answering this. I just went ahead and flashed CM11... don't really know why I did not do this earlier, but...
All is good for now, phone is settling into KK.
I recently flashed CM 10.2 UNOFFICIAL and I now get force closes for every app in which I try to replace a misspelled word with one of the suggested words. Apps I've tried so far: messaging, email, calendar, notes, etc. all behave the same. Seems like this would be a dictionary or spellcheck file issue, but I don't know what files may be at fault.
I've searched with no luck for a solution to this particular problem.
Any assistance would be most appreciated!
