I would also like to know how to shut off the keyboard back light.

I think it is a waste of battery life sometimes.

Do anyone know how to create some kind of manual switch that would allow me to toggle between having it on (with the auto sensor) and just always off?

I remember having some kind of application for this on my palm centro.

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] japper88:
Anyone?

The only work around I have found so far is to open the keyboard, then press the power button then press it again, and not touch the keyboard, and the back light will remaind off. I do this so I can watch videos with the keyboard out and the screen tilted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
you can change the timeout in hkcu\controlpanel\backlight\qkeyledtimeout default is 10. maybe you can change it to 0 or atleast 1.

it looks like keylightautosensor might be what you are looking for. you can try em out. soft reset to apply.

google has put up a windows mobile app as one of their 12 suggestions for improving google voice. that means its probably pretty close to actually getting made on winmo. Anyone here that has a gmail/google account just go there and vote for windows mobile, hopefully if there's enough votes they'll see its something they should bring to market right away.

Hello,

i am trying to upgrade my spl version to 1.56 to be able to use the 1.5x roms

currently my device is a mess :

radio : 1.10.25.25

rom : 1.56.47.601

SPL : 1.14 stock

i cant flash from active sync because that causes wm 6.5 to crash

when i boot on spl, then launch hspl1.56, the transfer stays stuck at 0% then HSPLwrapper goes to recovery mode.

I have tried on several PCs

I have seen a post about an HTC diamond stuck on 0% that said i had to use the developer version of HSPL, but i m not sure what i downloaded, and it was for the diamond so i didnt go ahead.

Someone please help me get the device functionnal again X'( ?

Google's POP/SMTP access allows you to "workaround" most ISP's policy of sending out email via default SMTP port. Here are set of steps to configure proper gmail POP access from multiple devices with on Windows Mobile 6 Messaging.

Start > Messaging.

Click New E-Mail Account. If you already have one configured then select your existing gmail account and then click Tools > Options followed by another click on gmail account in the list of current accounts you have defined.

Enter your email address (eg: yourusername@gmail.com). You may need to create the address as @tempgail.com so that you can deselect the automatic email discovery.

Enter your name.

Enter gmail.com in the Account Display Name.

For Incoming Mail Server type pop.gmail.com:995 (notice the :995 - that's the POP port number you need to specify as per gmail's official setup configuration).

For Account Type choose POP3.

For User Name type recent:yourusername@gmail.com.

Type in your password (check Save password), click Next.

For Outgoing SMTP Mail Server type smtp.gmail.com:587 (again, notice the port number 587 added after colon) and check both checkboxes below the smtp server name for requiring authentication and to use same username for sending and receiving email.

Click Advanced Server Settings and select both checkboxes for Require SSL for Incoming E-mail as well as for Require SSL for Outgoing e-mail.

Choose The Internet for the Network Connection dropdown on the same screen and click Done to continue with setup.

Click Next.

Choose some frequency for automatic send and receive of emails (eg. Every 10 minutes) and select All Messages for Download Messages dropdown

Click Advanced Settings and under When Deleting Messages dropdown, select Keep Them On The Server.

Click Done and click Next to go to final step.

Choose message format as HTML and message download limit of 2KB (or higher).

Click Finish.

With the above setup my HTC TouchPRO and Gmail work like a breeze.

Important trick is the use of "recent:" in your account name - this apparently relies on gmail's "recent mode" which allows multiple clients to access messages via POP without getting into that trouble with one client getting the messages and the others don't. Apart from that, make sure you use the port number for POP and SMTP server as outlined above.

Enjoy,

A new hotfix appeared on htc website for the Touch pro 2, saying:

"Hotfix to enhance the internal GPS capability in the HTC Touch Pro2"

http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=250&act=sd&cat=all

Does anyone know anything about this? Because I don't have any problems with my present gps capability. Igo, google maps, tracky all working fine. Finding lots of satellites very quickly. So I really don't know why did they release this hotfix. (Though I've never tried tomtom).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sbraga:
This hotfix only can be applied for ROM version lower then 1.21.000.0.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DeepDay:
I have ROM version 1.19.401.0 which is lower than 1.21.000.0

So?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] airon11:
the hotfix is simply a new radio....

it's not only for gps as htc says...

anyway, i feel good with my current radio, in terms of battery longevity and signal strenght, both gsm/umts and gps

so i think i'll not upgrade for now....

Do I have reinstall my phone again after updating a radio ? the update readme tells me to backup and restore peronal stuff.

Perhaps this is a general warning .... but i like to know for sure if everything on my phone could be lost like a hard reset,

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vardig:
Keep an eye out on your manufacturers website in regards to this NEW hotFix.

Doesn't work with unbranded UK phone either, ROM 1.19.401.0 (51489)WWE, (Invalid Vendor ID error message) In addition the installation instructions on the site are just plain wrong.

It needs to be run from your PC not the device, and I assume as it is flashing the radio a hard reset won't remove it.

Not working om my stock dutch rom. (Non branded)

Invalid vendor ID
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] challenger150:
I extracted the .exe file and found a ReadMe file inside which says following:

	ERROR [242] : INVALID LANGUAGE

	ERROR [244] : INVALID MODEL ID

	ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID

	ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY

One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade.

Since I'm getting ERROR 294 all the time I presume something is not ok with the RUU tool?

Maybe someone can check into this?

HTC Updates

I tried the updates as well... this on an unbranded TP2 bought in the UK from a HTC vendor. None of them work... and the instructions are also totally wrong and misleading.

I can only imagine the horrors involved if following the 4% exit the result was a nice 3.6" screen and brick behind it.

As explained in this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=542699

The only way to flash it is using the QMAT GoldCard. Other way just simply wait for HTC to put a fixed version in his website.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
It looks like the hotfixes are meant for the new ROM that they've released, and so they just released the hotfixes early? They say you must have 1.19.401.1, which is the new ROM Upgrade they've just released on their site this morning, so maybe once that's installed then the radio will be upgradeable?

I'm just installing the new ROM now so will let you know once that's finished.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] rob_p:
Sadly no dice, still the same invalid vender error :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jawolf:
rob_p I had the same thought and have also updated the ROM...thankfully remembered to back up my phone first!!!

Then tried the GPS fix and still failed at 4%.:(

I have also contacted HTC Support and after several messages, they said

"Thanks for your response, we have identified that you are not alone when facing this issue so from here i am developing a case to raise to our internal head office to re-develop the hotfix. Now you have provided me with the information required to raise this, i am now just collecting other cases and presenting this in bulk. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, i will contact you shortly with a resolution/update. Kind Regards, HTC Europe"

So it is try the goldcard method or wait for HTC to update (which is my choice!)

Hope it gets fixed soon.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Monaro427:
I just downloaded and installed the GPS hotfix. I downloaded it from the Australian HTC site, but I think the fix is the same on the South East Asia site as well.

My Old Version details are:

ROM version:	1.19.707.1 (51489) WWE

ROM Date:	05/15/09

Radio Version:	3.44.25.27

Protocol Version: 61.25t.25.19U

The only thing that has changed is this:

Radio Version: 3.46.25.30

Although the installer warned that it will erase all the data, I was happy that it did not erase anything. All my apps and data were still present after the upgrade.

I have not tested the fix yet, but I will provide some feedback after I have had a chance to go for a drive.

NB: I did get a scare when in the middle of the upgrade (well, right in the beginning after you get the 4 colour screen on the TP2), the installer said it failed. Windows (win7) was trying to install a new driver. I let the driver update finish (which took a while) and re-ran the installer (without touching the TP2, which was still on the 4 colour screen) and it successfully applied the update.

Edit: I don't think this update made any difference to the GPS lag w/ TomTom.

Edit2: It did however seem to acquire the Satellites faster.

is the hero available in the USA or is it just for the UK?

do tmobile stores have it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] xdaman85:
I think T-Mobile in the USA just released the HTC Magic, I doubt there going to release the Hero in USA right now as that would really kill or atleast limit the turnover for the HTC Magic.

You can import one to the USA but you wouldn't get 3G working.

Or you could just wait for it to come to the USA, may be a long wait though.

Sprint uses CDMA whereas T-Mobile is GSM. Any version for Sprint would have to have a completely different radio, so it's unlikely to work on T-Mobile.
