If GPS looses fix whilst in use (by moving underground or indoors), its never able to recover even when there is clear line of sight to the sky.

Only resolution (and very messy one at that) is a reboot, upon which GPS fix is attained immediately.

- Sentences won't start with a Capital in HTC Text editor

In the standard Windows text editor, The first character in a sentence is converted the capital equivalent.

- Alarm at 6:00 isn't deactivated (quite annoying in weekends !)

When I change my alarm time or deactive my alarms .. one alarm will still go off.

- No cut/paste in most TouchFlo apps

New features that I would like:

- Weekly view for the calendar !!!!!!!!!!!!!! (can't stress this enough :-)).

- Being able to link an unknown email address (from within an email) to an existing contact (and not only to a new one).

- Some others ut can't remember them right now :-)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Almost all of these problems are solved by switching off TF3D2. I've done so and pretty much all of my problems have gone away. I've got more free memory, the phone runs a lot faster and all those little niggles like yours have vanished. It might not be as pretty, but if pretty is your thing then get an iphone ;O)

WM6.5 will pretty much make TF3D2 redundant anyway...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] the_one_and_only:
New features that I would like on TD2 TF3D are the capability to sort the contacts by company on and the capability to show on home screen the tasks for the present day...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Just turn off TF3D and your wishes are granted.

Incidentally, another TF3D bug: When sending a text, if it fails to send, TF3D gives you no way top resend it. You have to go to the standard WM6.1 SMS application and do it from there, unless you want to retype the whole thing.

Oh and another one (more of an annoyance than a bug) - TF3D won't allow you to change the "File as" when creating a contact, you have to (again) go into the standard Contacts screen to do this. Really annoying when you're adding the contact for a company and want him filed under the company name.

I've found TF3D to be more of a hindrance than a help.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] West12:
- network key gets lost when switching between networks (and then can't paste it back in with TF3D interface, need to use WM native app)

- text messages recevied without a number (for example train company alerts, bank, phone company) are not viewable when clicked on !. They show on the home screen but then don't show in the contact centric view - and you can't add them as a contact because there's no number

- sending emails via wi-fi works intermittently. I can receive Ok but sometimes need to open a phone data connection to send
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
This is a huge problem throughout the TF3D interface - I don't understand how, while attempting to add some gloss to the WinMo experience, HTC managed to remove so much basic functionality.

I've been running without TF3D for a couple of days now and I'm finding the experience to be quite liberating, if a little graphically dull. Everything works as it should and is nice and snappy. I'd recommend giving it a go for maybe a week, see how you get on. To my mind, the big problem with TF3D is it's only any good if you want to do anything really basic. The moment you need to do anything slightly different, TF3D gets in the way as you have to dig through the gloss to get back to the original WM6.1 applications, which, after all, do have all the functionality. Better, to my mind, to drop the gloss and get all that nice functionality right from the start.

Heck, without TF3D I actually now get automatic capitalization at the start of every sentence when texting and emailing! :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Dine909:
in File Explorer you cannot select multiple files because TF3D scrolls the list instead of selecting a range, and there's no way to tell it to select when i drag instead of scroll like opera does. Extremely annoying when having to move photos from internal ram to storage card, speaking of which...

If you plug in a USB host and select "Mass storage device" with the camera application open, then close Camera, it saves its setting to save photos in internal memory. So next time you open it without USB mass storage device enabled you end up with everything in internal memory - which you cant access through the USB mass storage mode... again extremely annoying and fiddly to sort out the mess it makes (see above) -
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
That's exactly what I mean. TF3D causes far more problems than it solves. To my mind, it's a marketing gimmick to help sell more phones - functionality-wise it's rubbish.

In the normal WinMo6.1 today screen, for instance, the Calendar widget shows me my next appointment, even if it's several days away. TF3D? Unless the appointment is today or tomorrow, you can forget it. Wanna know how many tasks you've got outstanding? Not in TF3D.

How about using a lock password that only activates if I haven't used my phone for 15 minutes? Impossible in TF3D.

TF3D has gloss. That's just about it.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Dine909:
I like it, just needs a few improvements - it's not going to remain buggy forever - so we shouldn't write it off straight away.

Yes your right they did it to sell more phones, but so did apple with the iPhone, because consumers like swishy smooth sliding things, not clunky window ce interfaces..

I used to go through hell every morning trying to drive windows ce just to shut my alarm up, or alter the alarm time, now i can do it my sleep.

I've heard MS have commisioned HTC to work on standard interfaces for windows mobile, so I'm sure they'll be watching this thread.

Get your bugs in and help change a good step into the right direction to a massive leap forward that you can't live without...

be +ive!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
I expect WM6.5 will be out before a new version of TF3D.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kly:
I hear you talking about TF3D2 like it's crap.

It has its bugs and flaws, but there are some things you forgot to mention:

1. I replaced my standard Touch (yes, the first one) for the TD2

Why ?

I had to use my stylus for every single thing ... not really convenient right ?

With the TD2 I almost never have to use it, except for playing Bubble Breaker :-)

There are some exceptions, but they are very rare.

And that's one of the biggest advantages of TF3D2.

Ofcourse, with WM6.5 on the way, it's possible I'll have to agree with you and shut down TF3D2 ... I'm pretty sure HTC will release a new version of TF3D2 when it's out though !

We'll see who's right in a few months ... but for now, TF3D2 is the way to go !

2. Why give up on such a great modification of HTC ?

It combines the usability of WM with a touch (literally) of gloss ... AND functionality.

The new people centric way of working is just awesome for example .. and it's not the only thing.

But nevertheless .. I have to agree ... it takes away some standard functionality of (compared to other mobile OS's) strong WM.

On the other hand, it adds lots of it ... meaning with a small number of bugfixes, it CAN be awesome (which WM standard is NOT).

Greets
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
I'm perfectly capable of using the standard WM6.1 without a stylus 90% of the time. I understand people with big hands might not though. The "People-centric" thing in TF3D isn't something I use to be honest, I've never needed to see all the different means I've used of communicating with a specific person. *shrug*.

Compare to this: Without TF3D, my today screen now gives me the following info, all WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE PHONE except to turn it on...

Current playing music: artist, album, track, track number

All upcoming appointments

How many unread messages I have in each email account and in SMS/MMS

How many unread RSS headlines

The date and day of the week and time

A list of my outstanding todos

What scheduled direct debits and standing orders are due o my bank accounts

My current status in Windows Messenger

A Live Search bar

A Tomtom button

And that's just for starters, I could add tons more just by downloading plugins.

That is a shedload more functionality than TF3D.

BUT - I'm not saying everyone should ditch TF3D - some people value gloss over functionality, and that's why the iPhone is selling so well.

Some people might value this people-centric thing over knowing what todos they have or what music they're listening to. That's fine!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kly:
You got me on one point though ... Windows' customizability.

That's something you'll have to lose when using TF3D2.

-I don't use my mobile as a music player for now (will do that when I receive the USB to audio jack to connect it to my car's audio).

-I never use RSS

-I can see the amount of mails / SMS's I received.

-Upcoming appointments ... I can understand people complaining when they're only able to view the ones from the current and the next day.

On the otherhand, that list would be larger than one complete screen, so no biggy here for me.

A list of appointments is inconvenient and not structured enough.

That is why I liked the week view of WM ... and that's a great miss in TF3D2 in my case !

- I include a reminder for my todo's (tasks) ... otherwise I will still forget things ... I'm not the kind of person who checks the task list enough ... the reminders work for me.

- Don't use Messenger on my mobile ... it would drive me nuts ... I spend enough time reading my mails :-)

- I rather prefer the Opera toolbar if I want to search for information, so no live search for me.

- Tomtom button ... could be handy indeed !

I just like the 'tabs' working way.

It gets you information you want in a structured manner.

If I list the weather, the number of missed calls, the time, my appointments, mails, todo's, ... all on one screen .. I'll get lost ... just too many TEXT on one screen !

That's why I like the tabs.

But to completely compare ... I should try to use it without TF3D for one week.

Maybe I'll write my plugins for the home screen one day ... to adapt them to my personal needs ..

But indeed ... I'm also waiting for the WM 6.5 release ... one of the reasons why I bought this phone.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Jim Coleman:
Yep, I think WM6.5 will be the best of both worlds! A bit of gloss AND a customizable, useful today screen :O)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pete_S:
That's a dangerous assumption to make about people. It's true for some, but maybe not in this forum - it's not an iPod forum after all.

After years of my using standard wm, TF3D is a breath of fresh air. It's true I don't need instant access to all the things you mention on your today screen, but for the things I value (using my finger rather than stylus, enjoying the experience too, instant internet, photo, and music access) TF3D is a major step forward. Yes, it's gloss, but it's functional too.

Just for the record, I dislike "bloatware" and excessive gloss and animation. My installations are usually "stripped down" and run very quick. But, I stand by TF3D as hugely improving the dull wm experience. And, there's plenty of resources left for other apps on the TD2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] wheresmybeaver:
I was quite happy with TF3D on my Diamond 1 for many months, but one bug in particular got on my flippin nerves; the alarm notification setting being "forgotten" after a number of days. ie when the alarm went off, I'd have to aim for the tiny alarm icon just to get at the snooze button. This drove me crazy. And the comm manager was brutal. Home2 didn't have this bug, and the comm manager(with its own tab) was more responsive and functional. And the integrated Messaging facility in PointUI was very nifty.

I don't work for PointUI, I just really liked using it. :D
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tonyh0905:
I love my TD2....but if we are talking bugs...... my 2 biggest gripes are 1. battery life. I use my TD2 in exactly the same way I used to use my TYTN2. The TYTN2 gave me 2 days use per charge, my TD2 has to be charged every night and somtimes topped up from USB during the day.

And 2. Poor radio. I get poor 3g coverage at home (constantly swapping between GSM and HSDPA)....and very poor GSM reception at work (one spot on my desk where I get a signal...pick up the phone to answer acall and the signal drops out....very annoying!!)......I am now with T-Mobile for the first time.....so I'm not sure who to blame.......

Gripes over....I feel better now :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kly:
Another feature I would like to see though:

A green circle with the number of missed calls in the button of the Today tab, similar to those for received messages and mails.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] -Tk-:
So I have used SPB Mobile Shell 3 for a week or so, as a replacement for TF3D, but now I'm back on TF3D and i must say, TF3D feels much faster. Switching between screens on spb mobile shell felt really slow, and when I used an ipod touch this weekend, I felt it was 10 times as responsive as MS, so i switched back to touchflo, which is almost as fast as the ipod...

Things about mobile shell I really liked:

-widgets, customizing homescreen

-appointments are easy to monitor (more than one day ahead)

-switching wifi easily on/off on homescreen

Things I'd like to see in TF3D:

-week view in calendar

-customizable homescreen (widgets)

-further integration in WM

-adding your own tabs to tf3d. I would really like to see a tab for MSN or Coreplayer or something :) Also facebook would be great

-a normal email list, something like the sms list, instead of the letter thing

-more cities to add in weather tab!

-change the "file as" when adding a new contact in tf3d, instead of wm interface

-more icons side by side in the start menu (4 instead of 3)

Some bugs:

-when youtube app crashed, the bar for play/pause/back stays in screen, even when the app is closed. This is fixed by opening a fullscreen app, but then the bar will not return in the youtube app until a soft reset.

-mails aren't downloaded when turning on wifi (I have no data connection) so I have to restart the mail tab of tf3d

-the charging (not turning on green light, only after soft reset)

-wifi/radio reception isnt great

edit:

scrolling in phone screen is really slow (it's much faster in contacts screen)

can't come up with any more at the moment but there are some... :D

Honestly, I feel very unproductive. Since HTC Tornado, HTC Touch Pro and now HTC Diamond2, I have been looking for tweaks to make the device work the way I wanted it to be and the way it should! With Diamond2 it was worst off than Touch Pro. Too many short-comings and I hope HTC take notice of my complains here.

I consider myself a loyal HTC customer as I have been using their devices all along, starting with the Smartphone Tornado. My hope is HTC will address all the issues in WM6.5; no more tweaks necessary and I can be productive again.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] illi:
Ever wondered why HTC included Google Maps in the rom when there has been very regular updates to this apps? Ever wondered why there is so many bugs; so many complains? Ever wondered why HTC called their latest offerings "people centric"? Believe me it was a misspelled. Its actually "people ECCENTRIC"! That's what HTC is all about. The produce half cooked roms!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] elmalote:
After charging (specially through USB connected to my laptop) the phone forgets the power saving time values. I have set it to turn backlight off after 10 sec when not connected to external power supply, but it turns it off after 1 min. It seems it doesn't realize it has been disconnected from external power.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Retpics:
I have transferred my text messages from my D1 to my D2. These messages were from the past 8 months...

When I watch the threaded view in TF3D I see all the messages from that person from the past 8 months, which are a lot! Because of this the loading takes about 4 seconds :mad:
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] afrikman:
Tweaking the responsiveness with "Diamond Tweak" to "high" gives me the touch feeling of an iPhone (except for the multi touch feature which is not an issue for me). Only then I enjoyed my D2.

not sure if this is a bug or if I'm just missing something, but if I go into the Contacts/All People app, under menu there's the "Company Directory" option, but it's grayed-out and not selectable. This option is available in all my other WinMo phones, so am I missing something here?

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Schluchti:
Is there already a solution? This bug is annoying..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] popkid:
Bugs and annoyances:

Google maps in rom and very unstable version, crashes after 2-3 minutes every time

Appointment reminder, only has snooze/dismiss, not time options as per standard winmo

Appointment Reminder again, if reminding about an appointment on date in future, uses US short date format regardless of local settings

Cut and paste made really awkward... for those who are struggling with multiple selections etc. TIP, switch to standard keyboard, it has ctrl key, so you can ctrl x or c then ctrl v you can switch back to full qwerty when done why oh why no ctrl key on full qwerty?

Several times device stuck in sleep requiring soft reset

Alarms frequently don't sound

SMS notifications don't always wake device, even with official hotfix installed

Call history on homepage has really limited functionality, what is most annoying is that somewhere hidden on device is really good call history management ui, but you can only access it by clicking on missed call notification just after you get new missed call... why is this not default one, and why can't it be accessed at all normally, I frequently ring my phone from desk phone just to miss the call and access better ui

Often when receiving call from existing contact, it gives the 'do you want to add as new contact' dialogue at end of call

Love phone, but lot of these annoyances are frustrating, roll on wm6.5!

pK;)

For the rest no complaints at all, I truly love this phone and this forum.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] godaro:
is there any possibility to schedule a phone call with a Contact without going through the whole copy/paste ordeal ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] left of centre:
There are four different screens that handle sms!!!:

The swipy touch flo one.

The people centric threaded one which has no cut, paste or 'use number. functionality.

The Winmo inbox

The Winmo threaded conversation which has fidily cut and paste (accessed by a menu)

Arrrrghhhh. Simplify please!

Also: you can't send a single phone number or email address from one of your contacts to an SMS receipient. It will only let you send the entire vcard by MMS. So annoying. Winmo contacts allowed you to select which parts of the contact you wanted to send.

I know i don't have the BEST reputation around here but i know what i am talking about for the most part and i am begging for you to help clean up this site and forum. For the last few weeks the number of repetitive posts has been absolutely ridiculous, every time I get on XDA i see so many threads that all ask the same thing. There are some many users that apparently think that this site is a tech support site and do not respect us at all. I know that XDA is THE site for the latest info on windows mobile and now android, but people seem to join just to ask simple questions like "my phone is stuck on t-mobile G1 screen" or "BRICK PLEASE HELP!!" most of the people on this site have lives and jobs but i do not. i have no problem helping new members and old members alike, but i do have a problem with stupidity. if a member is not capable or not willing to search for an answer then they either A. don't need it, or B. shouldn't have tried to begin with. i beg that every member on this site go through the first 10 pages of this development forum for our dream and count how many repetitive threads there are open or closed.

i request that we get another mod, i know neoobs and mikey are very busy and do not have time to monitor the forum 24-7 even between the two of them. if we were to get another mod for the forum i think we could start closing/deleting threads that have no right being opened/started, i am not saying that we need to start closing threads left and right, but i know there are at least 10 threads in the first ten pages that talk about Bricked phone that either tried the new SPL, or some other reason. if we had another mod then repeat threads could be closed after a link or answer, that way we aren't completely rude to people but we can keep the forums clean.

Also i realize we can't just go banning people left and right, but if a person joins XDA and in a week has only posted a few times and all posts have been new threads asking about things that have been discussed in detail then they should be suspended to give them a chance to learn how to use the search function and read a few threads and the rules.
[G1 Android Development] bootleg16:
i also agree with this.

everytime i log on to xda i have to catch up with a couple pages of new threads and its ridiculous.
[G1 Android Development] jmon777:
I think if u went through those pages u would see 3 threads saying the same think. Well I thinks some got removed (just like this one will) but frankly I don't think there is solution maybe if u had to take quiz befor you could become a member or something. I have I had mistakes on here when i started about posting dumb stuff but yeah that's my 2 cents.
