Hi all,
Figured I should start a post with problems (in the quest for solutions).
I have had my v1605 from Vodafon for 3 days now and have found a few problems already. I have a replacement coming on Tue so will see what is fixed...
So far:
- keyboard back lights not working, matters not if the sensor is active or not. Vodafone replacing the unit as a result.
- some keys on the far right seem unsensitive - I keep missing O, P and L from my typing. The keys do work though...maybe it is just me.
- screen alignment wanders and as such I usually need to re-align the screen once a day or more. Seems always to drift left and slight lower than I am pressing.
- today screen items are locked and 'vodafoned', very annoying as I cannot show task list, owner info or lock status on the today screen. I hard reset the unit and reset it before the customisation happened and voila - the usual today screen items were back - but as a result I lost the vodafone dialer skin and the 3G symbol. I presume someone can ROM-hack to get rid of this restriction and look forward to it In fact, it would be perfect if the ONLY Vodafone customisations were the dialler skin, 3G symbol and theme.
- If you have a password set and hard-reset the unit it crashes when you are prompted for the password. Soft resetting it then skips the vodafone customisation.
- left softkey set to phone instead of calendar and no way to change it.
- no easy way to access Vodafone Live!
- camera quality pretty poor for a 2MP, no where near as good as the K750i for example. However, the K750i on its first firmware was pretty aweful too!
- when plugged into USB on computer - if you turn it off (so as just to charge) it will turn itself back on again shortly and commence another sync.
Other than these niggles, of which the today screen is the biggest for me, I love the TyTN. By far the best PDA/Phone I have owned to date!
So - over to you guys, does your v1605 have these issues or others, or none????

My slide out keyboard down't click into place on the left side the way the right does (and also the way the wizard does). It may not be a problem now but in the future, it may begin to wear and then it might affect the function of the keys??
Are they just swapping a unit for you or exchanging the whole package? How will you know if you get a brand new set? When I switched mine on, the call timers showed outgoing 40 seconds and incoming 45 seconds. I'm not sure if this is vodafone testing the units or it's not new.
Am told I am getting a brand new unit - will check call timers as they *should* be 0-0.
Just had a play with mine and I only feel a click on the right side of the keyboard too. Feels nice and solid once it is out though - not like the xda-mini-s which feels flimsy in comparison.

I do not see the "E" icon even in EDGE enabled areas. I even tried the HTC Wizard icon hack hack with no success:

'E' appears on my v1605
3G is awesome.

Thats great! was a bit worried that mine was a faulty unit. It does feel solid when sliding. It was just the lack of the "click" that bugged me.
Anyone else who received their unit had timers showing calls made and received from it? Its probably vodafone testing it. The unit is too new for any refunds/refurbs to have been made.
- some keys on the far right seem unsensitive - I keep missing O, P and L from my typing. The keys do work though...maybe it is just me.
My unit has this issue and I hope my next unit which is a brand new replacement that comes on Tuesday doesn't have this issue. My unit it is only the O that has problem which is getting better over time. I called them and they was more than happy to get a brand new unit to get sent out just want a perfect working one in my 14 day period so fingers crossed will keep you updated.

Do you also feel a click only on the right when you slide open the keyboard? Let us know how you get on with the new unit.
Don't feel no click at all. Will keep you all updated.
UPDATE:
New unit turned up - keyboard lights now work as expected.
Still only a right side click on the keybard - so it must just be the way it is.

Hi guys
Peter .. the guy that got his VPA Compact III two days after me as sent it back on the 14 day returns .... He was concerned about stability. He's always struggled to come to terms with WM stability which I can understand ... so he's off back to palm and blackberry.
From my point of view - I've had one hang during operations which still worries me (I left it at the today screen fine ... and 30 mins later I noticed backlight was completely off and it was utterly un responsive - wouldn't respond to incoming calls). It also hangs occassionally of soft reset or power on (from a complete power off). It usually comes up fine on a subsequent soft reset.
I'm waiting for HTC to call me back so I can raise this as a call. It seems to happen regardless of today plugins being active (I disabled all) - I have also rebuilt with 4 phases of Sprite Backup to restore from - and the problem hasn't gone away.
I suspect it is firmware / software as opposed to hardware .... fingers crossed.
Aside from that I love it as a device .... I just wish one of you guys that has one will let me know if you have had any hangs at all and where you see them.
My keyboard light works fine. It has to be in low light and you have to press a button before it activates - just opening the keyboard in low light doesn't activate it.
Occasionally I turn the device on and it starts in landscape mode and then switches to portrait ... odd .. because I didn't switch it off in landscape.
There is an odd moulding mark where the stylus comes out on the curved recessed part of the body (right hand side). I thought it may be a crack but I'm pretty sure it's just where the plastic moulding was finished before painting. If it's not cracked I'm not bothered.
You can change the WM5 softkeys with Tweaks2k2.
One thing to remember is that rather than use the phone executable, the device originally used a :MSC call. Once removed you can't put it back with Tweaks2k2. It's not an issue because a normal link to phone is fine. If you want Calendar ... then use Tweaks2k2 to change it.
My keyboard works fine ... no sticky keys. Peter had one or two on his.
Paul.

Hi Rich
What are you running at the moment ?
I'm try to find out what is different between my build and yours so I can narrow down possible cause of hang.
Paul.
By the way ... my build is :
So far I have SBSH iLauncher, HandyMenu, HandSwitcher, Legato Mahjong, Billiard Master 3, Bubbleshooter, PDA Mill GameBox Classics, BeJewelled 2, 1-Calc, Phatnotes, PIEPlus, Avantgo, CO2005, Clearvue Office Pro, CPL6, FW2006, imov Messenger, NewsBreak, Resco Explorer (without the Resco Today Plugin) 5.40, Resco PhotoViewer, SBSH Pocket Breeze and Pocket Weather, Skype 2, Sprite 5.1, Tweaks2k2, PI2005, FlexMail 2.2, FlexWallet, Cabinstall, Cruxview - all installed on the MicroSD.
Aside from an apparent hang on startup last night which scared me .... I thought I'd need to hard reset but it eventually sorted itself out ... hopefully it is s/w related .... it's all going well. Did a video call with Peter last night which was fine ... first I've done and picture quality not great but usable.
3G is active and working very well. Switches mid call to 2.5g if signal drops to much, but you don't get a chattering issue (i.e. where it regularly switches between the two).
Drove from Hook to Kent with CPL6 and BT GPS yesterday and that was flawless.
Have four phases of Sprite Backup - Different levels of build - so I can decide how far back to go in the event of problems.
Circa 28 mg of program memory following sof reset
Circa 31 mg of storage memory
PB is loading PI Calendar / Tasks / Messaging / Phatnotes / Pocket Weather.
Can someone help me with my wifi problem please. I can get connected to my network ok but IE will not show any pages, it just says wrong settings. I am connected with good signal strengh and thought that i would be able to surf when on my own home network. Most of the time it serches gprs and 3g then shows the error. An idiots step through guide would be helpful. I have searched for hours but came up blank. I also need a walkthrough on how to configue vodafone MMS settings as I cant get that to work either. Customer services isnt much good as the dont really know this device yet. Thanks in advance.
Hey Paul,
I have only the followinig intalled over the base v1605:
skype2
PHM Registry Editor
Microsoft .NET CF 2.0
Aspecto Software WiFiFoFum
Handmark Monopoly
That's it......

new unit arrived and the sticking key issue is gone thank god. I hve a few things installed now and the phone is running great. I installed agile messenger beta a few minutes ago as no msn client is in the vodaphone rom and the phone looked like it crashed then a few moments later it signed into msn.
1 thing I have noticed is if I mute the volume so I get a x sign near the volune if I click around I.e start menu and click around the operating system I can hear a clicking noise. could someone else test this 4 me I am currently in a quiet room.
also noticed when using pie with keyboard slid out my view will sometimes change from landscape to portrait view and then back to normal which is strange. I am sure my faulty device did this whilst just using the operating system in general use. shed a bit of light to what I have just found is that I just put the phone down open on the case it comes with and the same thing happened it must have something to do with the magnetic metal in the case effecting the phone causing it to rotate lol well that's what I think.
No clicking sound when I mute mine. Haven't really played around with mine yet. Will install everything once I get my microsd card.
Does your phone's keyboard click into place when you slide it open and is it right side only or both? Also did you check your call timers? Are they zero or has calls been made before receiving it?
Just got my TyTN
and all i got was a lousy keyboard..
got the bad keys on my unit. Waiting for response from HTC distributor, but they halted all sales of it until resolved. There are a lot of phones with bad keyboard.
But apart from that it seems to work fine - like the Jasjar in a smaller package.
But I liked the keyboard on my I-mate k-jam a lot better.
My first one had a few keys that weren't great, t, del and spacebar. This one is good for the keyboard. But....my screen is loosing calibration all the time again which is why I was given a replacement. Moves so that it is totaly unusable! Is anyone else experiencing it? If you are not is it a Voadafone one or something else. I've told Vodafone that I'd like another one out of a different batch and they said that they will extend my exchange period for a couple of weeks until some new ones come in. Might call HTC to see if it is a known "feature". Other than that I'm still totally happy with the device and it is much better at memory handling thn the Exec ever was, It never seems to drop below 22mb of program memory after having opened and closed programs for a clouple of days. The exec would have dropped to 17 by the end of the first.

In Hermes I loved one feature: possibility of turning on the LEDs (called boldly a flash) with one of Vijay's apps. Of course I could not resist to test in on our (beloved) Rapahael but... Yes, you guessed right: marche pas/does not work/nie działa (choose the one you prefer). Anybody tried to work on this "problem of a person moving often in the dark areas with keys that must be inserted in always-too-small hole in the door"?
Of course you could just go in to camera settings to turn it on or off, it is only 3 or 4 screen taps away...
I mailed the author of the software, and he says that he will try to adapt to software as soon as he has some time, which would be in a few weeks. He says that there are people that already have modified his software to make it compatible with other devices. Anyone that can do this for the TP? I REALLY need that software too.
count me in on that one
i have been looking for it for 2 years now and it still dont look like there is gonna be an app for turning the flashlight on and off
as far as i know it is controlled by the cameradriver
Two years? It's been long available for wizard (vario) and hermes (vario 2). However, in case of my wizard I needed a rom update which included the correct htccamera1.dll (one that exports camera_flashlight method).
On a seperate note. I've been trying to get the flashlight to work on the touch pro, but no luck so far. Seems there is indeed (read it in diamond forums) at least one new parameter to the camera_init method. After debugging the dll it seems there may even be a lot more new parameters to the camera_init.
Anywayz, if I get anything to work I'll let it be known.
Waiting impatiently to test the results amd/or help in the process.
You could always try this:
http://www.artamata.com/pocketlight/
That doesn't work on the Raphael. It doesn't turn on the camera LED.
If you mean to use the screen blanker of that software, I sure hope you looked further, as there are other developers that made free versions, which are even more advanced (i.e. turning up backlight to full capacity at startup). Search the diamond forums for flashlight to find it.
Yay! I've just got it to work.
I'll build a small app for it to make it usable and post it on the forum.

you should try hTorch 3.2 as well,
which has a very elegant interface:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440405
As I said in another thread; lately I have been using TourchButton in combination with G-Trigger, I'm really pleased with how well it works.
The G-Trigger program runs in the background all the time, so now I just shake my phone a bit and I get light, shake it again and the TorchButton program runs again (thus turning it off).
And in the event the light should somehow accedentaly turn itself on, it will turn off after 60 sec as per the TorchButton code.
I own 2 Touch Pro 2 devices and if the stylus is in either of them, the devices constantly wake up. This causes battery drain and also interferes with listening to streaming music. I have installed the keep music playing cab which helps but, the sound still fades everytime the device sleeps and/or wakes up. I have tried many locking apps and none have solved the problem. I have tried to remove the sensor but, have not had much luck. I also tried to tape the sensor down but, that doesn't work either. If I edit the registry HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\StyluOutStatus (which always has a value of 1 whether stylus is in or out) to 0 it just changes itself back to 1. Please tell me someone has found a solution as I would like to still have my stylus handy in my phone but, I don't want the device to wake when stylus is pulled. I have tried TouchLockPro and Gyrator with no luck and currently have Pocket Shield installed. None of these work as a solution. I have found ways to tell it to go right back to sleep but, the problem is even if it goes right back to sleep the sound still fades and it does it so often that it makes listening VERY annoying!! PLEASE HELP!!!
Just thought i'd start a thread for owners of the P2 to share any bugs ( and hopefully cures ) that we've come across so far . And to tidy up other threads that may get clogged with these issues .
i've had mine now for just over 2 weeks and so far its been somewhat of a disappointment. The issues i've come across so far are ...
1 - Audio sync .. regardless of app used the audio sync is out with the video . It gets even worse when trying to steam a video through a web browser ( and i've tried a few different ones just to make sure its not a chrome issue ) . streaming audio from internet radio is bad too . After 20 minutes or so the sound breaks up completely .
2 - Low volume in recorded videos .. The noise suppression / noise cancellation kicks in within one second when you record a video . what sound you are left with is similar to an old gramophone record .
3 - Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . I've read a few people saying turning off app optimization for the affected apps helps , but i don't think it makes any difference .
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card ( which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 ) as internal or external memory .
6 - high CPU usage at idle .. I've seen this on a few other forums too . cpu starts sticking at 1.6ghz after the phone has been running for a few days . I've done a clean wipe and installed no other apps or removed any and its still present .
And the most amazing thing is i haven't seen any of these issues raised in any reviews of the phone either
So feel free to add any comments or fixes if you come across them . This could be a fantastic phone if only the gremlins are fixed .
And could you please state which firmware version your phone is running .. I'm on P2_056_uk
1,3,4 are the problems which i am also facing ..
Thanks for this post , and i have some points to add
7) "Ok Google" Hot word Doesn't work
- i have tried GoogleNow Launcher with all set, but sadly Google assistant fails to respond every time
8) Some times Gyroscope/ Accelerometer sensor goes bonkers
-i noticed that while i was playing Asphalt extreme game.. my Steering goes Out of control
finally a very bad thing which isn't a bug but annoying me a lot is -
i've got an app which does the function of DOUBLE TAP TO SLEEP , ( we can put the same in Novalauncher also, under gestures) This is using Accessibility service so when i use FINGER PRINT or any kind of SMART LOCK it always asks me to put my PATTERN LOCK even after keeping my finger across the sensor ..
and this is very disturbing.. as a result i had to disable FINGERPRINT unlock and use DOBULE TAP TO WAKE in which i again face problems .....huh...
if there is anyway to overcome it.. please suggest me a way
1) I have heard about that issue from quite a few user but i have never faced that issue.
2) Not recorded video much so cant say
3) Not facing this issue
4) Yup it works only 5 out of 10 times
5) Never tried
6) Haven't paid attention to the CPU usage
I confirm no. 3:
"Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . "
- I noticed that when i unlock the phone emails and notifications are being pushed. I am still bench-marking the battery and as soon as i have done a couple of cycles to get a feel of the battery life i get i
will try and play around with the battery optimization settings in the settings.
These are working fine with my mobile, Made in china one (i know there are 2 types available):
4 - tap to wake .. tap the screen twice , sorry 22 times to wake up the phone .
- Do you by any chance use a thick screen protector that might not register the double tap?
- I don`t actually use this feature as i have the finger print unlock feature active and I use that to wake the phone.
5 - SD card formatting .. freezes every time i try to format a memory card which has worked perfectly in galaxy S5 as internal or external memory .
- I formatted an older SD card from my Xioami phone in the Lenovo and had no issues (it warned me that it might be slower and suggested to get a faster one) but i had no issues.
- From my past experience (also outside mobile device use) SD cards are verry sensible, i had some of them die out of a sudden or not being readable across devices.
Possible new bug, sometimes switching from Wifi to GSM or back i noticed i had no data connection, after toggling Airplane mode on and off it works fine.
Only noticed it once so take it with a grain of salt.
Interference noise when using headphones
When listening to music via headphones there is lots of electrical interference type noise. If I turn volume to zero it stops. It also stops once no sound is being fed to the headphones. Turning the volume up helps to drown the noise out. It's there between tracks most noticeably but also very audible when trying to listen to relaxation music at very low volume which I do a lot of to help me sleep.
It sounds like processor interference of some sort - beeps and electrical sounds but also machine gun 'pips'.
I have discovered that Bluetooth being on makes it WAY worse. If it is switched off it is barely audible - but still there. I need bluetooth on all the ktime for my smartwatch.
It happens on all apps: Spotify, Netflix, YouTube etc. I even hear it when I get notifications.
Anyone else noticed this issue. Would you mind testing for me??

Oh re. the OP numbered issues:
1. I also get the audio sync issue but only on Youtube. Netflix, Amazon Video etc are fine for me.
2. My video's audio is fine so far.
3. Not had phone long enough to notice for sure but I have had notifications come through when it's asleep.
4. Tap to wake worked well for me but I turned it off.
5. I have had real problems with my micro SD cards too. My first card, the P2 said it was faulty or damaged and gave me the option to reformat it. It got to 20% and then the phone completely locked up with a black screen. I had to remove the card to get the phone working again. After that the card is toast and unreadable on any device. The card was fine in my previous phone.
Second card I tried I successfully formatted in the P2. However, after 24 hours without issue, the P2 is now reporting that the card is 'unsupported'?!
My device has a screen flicker problem, occasionally the screen brightness change for a fraction of a second, even with the off auto brightness, other online users have reported this problem.
Other point :
3 - Notifications .. Seems to be an issue with the phone going into deep sleep , no notifications come through . I've read a few people saying turning off app optimization for the affected apps helps , but i don't think it makes any difference .

This is a Android doze scheme problem, you install a "disable doze" app from play store to solve this issue, or use adb method ( This problem is present on several models including the OnePlus 3 ), adb method is temporary untile reboot phone.

Someone said the buzzing issue with headphones seemed to calm down when the screen turned off , could be causing interference , but i remember my old moto G2 had the same issue and buzzing stopped once music started playing ( even on very quiet parts of a song you couldnt hear it )
can you confirm the sync issue on BBC Iplayer too BritishBeef . And I tried the card in the galaxy S5 again , formatted straight away . I Forgot to say it was a 64gb sandisk ultra , only a few months old . The strange thing is The P2 created a 15mb partition and that was all the samsung could see , had to remove it and all ok again

Screen off makes no difference unfortunately. It's not a buzz though, it's popping, and electrical chirps and pips.

I think its some form of noise suppresion that kicks in once the music starts playing , very annoying all the same though
You know i'm starting to wonder if the phones actually made by lenovo , awful lot of similarly specced devices coming out of china at the mo
Forgot to say if anyone comments could you also say which firmware version you have too .. I dont think the bugs are firmware specific , but its good to see if they are present in any updates

Unable to for now I'm afraid as I have packaged it up to return it. Going to get another one but buy it in a store this time. I bought the original online from Three (UK) and just spent 90 minutes on the phone to an Indian call centre to arrange a return. One of the most painful calls of my life
I wonder how many returns 3 have had so far ???

I bought mine free of contract from an online shop, unbranded and unlocked.
Currently am on the latest build number available, P2a42_S062_170117_ROW.
Ran also CPU-Z and my CPU usage is when i start the app for 1 second at 1.6Ghz then goes down to 652Mhz, so no issues for now.

Currently am on the latest build number available, P2a42_S062_170117_ROW.
Ran also CPU-Z and my CPU usage is when i start the app for 1 second at 1.6Ghz then goes down to 652Mhz, so no issues for now.

Thanks HaJeeEs . All worked
hi, i have problem with the NFC...
apparently he is really very little sensitive and i cant use it on my bluetooth headset but bluetooth work fine if i connect it manually...
Same issue with my SRS-X77 but I manage to make it work with a lot of patience...
Have you already tried it?
Well you issues are not bad comparing to mine. Seems like my lateral button of the extreme saving mode is still ON! Never dropped the mobile, neither dropped in water or hit some hard surface. Looks like i can't go off that saving mode, even moving the button.
So, is like 4 days that i have a nice mobile with calls and text available, plus calculator and the basic features but no way to switch back to my apps :s
I asked the assistence cuz i still have the warranty and they'll let me know what to do, if they can fix it or i have to ship it back, ah i did already the wiping date of the mobile with a reset.
Stay tuned for more!

I have not tried NFC but bluetooth works fine
I bought my second P2 today. It has the same sound interference issue as my first one
To reiterate, when listening on headphones and the volume is low (like listening to chillout or classical, meditation etc.) there is electrical type interference sound. I have been experimenting and have isolated to problem to WiFi. If I turn WiFi off on the phone it stops altogether. Also, I think that the more data that's transferring, the more interference.
It is there whatever is playing - music, Netflix etc. Even when notifications play it can be heard. Obviously if the volume is turned up it is far less/not noticeable but it is always there.
I have managed to capture a recording of the issue:
https://youtu.be/r0z6X7zB-pw
This was at low volume as it illustrates the problem best but it's clearly heard in the recording.
I captured this audio by using a 3.5mm audio cable to output the audio from my Lenovo P2 to the AUX-in on a speaker system. I then placed another phone next the speaker to record the audio using an audio recorder app. The uniform static background hiss is produced by the app.
I LOVE everything else about this phone but as someone that uses my phone for music for many hours a day I cannot ignore these sounds.
I find it hard to believe that I can be unlucky enough to get two faulty P2's so there must be many more with this issue if not all and no-one else has noticed the issue yet.
I have tried 4 different sets of headphones and the issue is the same.
I just got a brand new A8, and I also bought a Gear VR headset for it (version 323/2016). When I put the phone in for the first time, it talks to the headset, installed all the apps as you'd expect.
Now, this this is where the problems start. It appears it is somehow faulty. I have vertical head movement, and tilt head movement, but nothing horizontal. Like it's completely missing an accelerometer axis or something.
Going into the sensor tests via *#0*#, everything largely seems ok. Except if I pay close attention to the accelerometer. It seems to only register tilt forward/back (on two axis, Y and Z, which are 90 degrees apart) and rotate left/right. There isn't anything for movement left-right. If the headset were using gyro or magnetic that would be ok, but the accelerometer is... misconfigured? Maybe a firmware update needed?
Hi, I've the same gear vr and everything works ok. I've tested it with the last arb6 update and with the one before that.
I don't know precisely the sensors used during vr sessions.
