Hi Chaps,

I also have a couple of bugs I think.

I'm also getting the Facebook linking bug. The phone has managed to keep the majority of my contacts, but there are still quite a few missing. The loss of pictures and updates seems to coincide with switching the phone off/running out of battery.

This also happens when I trim an mp3 to use as a ringtone. It works great until I switch the phone off, then it disappears and I have to do it again.

I've also found that importing contacts is a bit hit and miss. I brought all my contacts from my N95 onto the hero (on the N95, 143 contacts were visible on the sim), but the hero only recognised 4 contacts. I took the sim out, put it back in the N95 to double check, and it had all the contacts there. I put it back in the hero and they were suddenly visible. Now when I try and import them to google, it manages 3 contacts and then fails. Not sure what thats about.

I love the idea of the phone, if they could fix these niggly little things it would be great.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] harba1:
I can't confirm about losing the ringtone after connecting via USB, but it does disappear when the phone gets switched off. I'm guessing that they're stored in some kind of temporary link to the SD card which is severed once the SD card can no longer be seen either through use by a computer or by loss of power?!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
strange.

hero is connected to the USB and the SD card mounted, it will indeed lose the ringtone as it cannot access the SD card, but when i dismount the SD card, it comes straight back...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
Really? Thats really poor... thank god I use the K-9 email client now ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
Some of my folders are missing... I haven't been systematic about it, but it looks like if I have subfolders, then their parents are missing. e.g. I have the folder blueyonder which contains mails forwarded on from another account. It has a subfolder "forum spam".

I can see the folder "INBOX.blueyonder.forum spam" but not the folder "INBOX.blueyonder"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Donge900:
Noticed that the problem only occurs, when you set a ringtone wich has been made shorter with the ringtone editor. Tested both situations, one with a ringtone wich hasn't been trimmed and one with a trimmed vesion. The Trimmed version is notcoming back when you unplug your Hero again.

This is a bug and i don't know yet how to recover the ringtone. It can be found in the folder: Ringtonetrimmer/ringotnes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tomehb:
Ok, the facebook bug is so annoying#!!!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Temjin:
Just adding my experiences and observations to this thread:

- Had an issue today when touching the default Messages shortcut on the home screen kept loading email inbox, and then NetCounter.

- Synced contacts from Google put their home addresses in "Find Home" and on the contacts screen cuts the address short (simply I don't want to have to load Google Maps to view the address - I just want it viewable in full on the contact card)

- Scrolling up and down a long chain of SMS conversations sometimes seems to never work without going back to the home screen and then back into messages at which point it registers.

- The Message icon occasionally keeps a number next to it implying a un-read message although they have all been read.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DangerM55:
I have the Facebook Picture/Association problem too. This morning for example I looked at my phone and found it wanting to sync 103 contacts/profiles that it'd found with Facebook, although they'd all been syncronised the night before.

I've got a standard Hero/G2 Touch on T-Mobile, not rooted, no additional facebook applications. Mobile network always turned on (though may have lost signal overnight as it was a bit patchy I noticed).

Hope they sort it soon, the Facebook integration is one of the main reasons I got the phone!

PS, it'd be nice if they had a "view all pictures of.... " option for photos of contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
yeah... one time I'd been in messages and then gone on to do other things, when I touched the messages widget OR went to it via the app menu, it would bring up those other things
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Basil3:
I've got this exact problem and I'm in Sunderland. Did you ever find a solution/workaround?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vakbrain:
I do have a question (a dumb question some might say) about the micro-sd support on TP2. Can the TP2 support NTFS formatted micro-sd ?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] weehappypixie:
Sorry,

It will not be able to read NTFS formatted SD card.

You might want to take a look at the exFAT update for Windows XP

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Ghostifish:
It won't read exFAT either.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mesquire:
Thanks for the heads up.

I haven't tried exFAT on my microSD card yet (it isn't big enough to warrant its use) but it works very well with the hard drive on my digital broadcast decoder/recorder :p
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Been having a problem since I restored a backup.

Until now I have found two problems, there may be more.

It seems that some menus are shown twice.

For example when I go to Clock & Alarm I get the following:

1 Date and Time

2 Alarm

3 Alarm 2

4 Alarm 2

Also when I go to Settings-Home Screen I get the option twice.

I have two Home screen layouts, two Colour schemes etc.

It's really frustrating. Anyone know how I can make it go ? Either from registry or by doing something else?
[S740, S743 General] lelopet:
I would guess that backup restore doubled some keys in registry. Try CeRegEditor which is damn good in search/compare of whole registry files. If anybody here has Rose registry fresh after HR, it will give you good sample to compare with... Try to catch somebody around, who just did HR and ask him/her to save a copy of it with the same soft and try to compare the files.

At least, you could save keys related to installed software etc., do the HR, restore file system and return relevant keys using the editor back into the registry file. A bit lottery, but better than nothing...

Older files as mine, continuosly running for almost a year, would generate zilions of non-relevant differences so I thing will be unuseful for you...
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Thanks for the idea. I dl'ed the application. If anyone has recently made a HR I'd like to make a comparison.

Is there any way (maybe in another sub-forum here) that I could find which are the registry keys for the clock and the home screen?
[S740, S743 General] amaric:
So...I am not the only one with this problem...good to know :)

If you find a solution for this please post it here. Thanks. :)
[S740, S743 General] Corduroy-21:
Anyone? Even if it's not a fresh reset. I guess I could check reg entries that seem relative to the menus.

Plz guys

[Touch HD General] Intollerant:
Hiya

Just got my htc touch hd, installed a few cabs (Fennec, skyfire and what not), however when I now click on other cab files i have put onto my storage card, they will not install. The green highlight bar just flashes when i click it and the "Up" and "menu" at the bottom flash and disappear. I have tried double clicks, single clicks - the whole lot! Does anyone know why it is doing this and how it can be resolved please - without a hard reset lol.

Furthermore, my end key does not lock the device when I hold it, despite the settings saying it should. I have downloaded pocketsheild so hopefully wil;l; that fix it in a way? However I cannot install it!!!!!

All help appretiated, have searched but not much luck

I have an ex-Vodafone, sim unlocked HTC touch diamond and it won't turn on. All I can do is bring it into the tri-colour screen/bootloader. When plugged into my computer the phone screen goes from serial to usb, but thats as far as it gets. Communication with activesync is no longer possible. I have no idea what to try now, I've gone as far as my non-technical mind will go ! help

I'm in the UK. Phone info;

no comms with activesync

thanks for the link. have read the info on flashing my device but my phone no longer communicates with activesync. Is it bricked ? Phone won't go beyond initial 'vodafone' startup screen. i don't know what to do now.
[General Questions and Answers] tuannghia1985:
which os in computer do you use ??? if in tri-color boot loader, pc only recognized the HTC driver device, but Activesync won't show the connect. You understand what i mean? Go Flash yourself your device with successfully, I will pretty sure that your device doesn't brick.
[General Questions and Answers] -PiLoT-:
yes correct you can run the RUU wrapper while the phone is in the boot loader and itll still flash the rom
[General Questions and Answers] ribroast:
i use windows xp home sp2, i don't understand the flash process and can't get further than the tri-colour screen. I think i need a very simple step by step walkthrough if I'm to get any further !
[General Questions and Answers] -PiLoT-:
ok

down load the rom of your choice and exract it

in the folder there should be a file called ruu_signed.nbh and a exe file called RUU wrapper or something like that if it doesnt come with the RUU wrapper it should be able to be downloaded from a stickied thread at the top of the diamond rom forum

then u need to connect ur phone to the pc while its in the boot screen the click on the ruu wrapper in the file on the pc and it should install on ur phone
[General Questions and Answers] ribroast:
hi, i downloaded the ruu, then connect my phone in boot screen, start the install, it asks me to make an activesync connection. activesync no longer finds my phone so no connection is made. i got this close, what now ? thanks for the help !
[General Questions and Answers] ribroast:
Done it finally

after many dime bar moments and weeks of annoyance the touch diamond finally came back to life. expecting this phone to actually work as advertised turned out to be a bridge too far. cheers for the help.:)

I've been reading the threads for all the NRG Weather versions trying to find some info on if this works properly on the Samsung Jack. Most posts are from long before the Jack was released.

I found the AppUnlock for the Jack and took the chance to load NRG Weather 3.1. One of the panels loads properly on the Jack, but the forecast does not. Has anyone else tried this app and resolved this?

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
Did you do anything specific to get both panels working properly? Did your screen look like mine until you selected the HTC NRG profile from options?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] phoneoftheday:
It works perfectly on my Jack and I did not have to do anything special. Which version are you trying to load? I used the latest.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
Version 3.1 from the post linked above. I don't think I picked the HTC theme though, I believe I had selected NRG when I set it up. Does the theme make a difference depending on your device?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] phoneoftheday:
The theme should not make any difference. Wish I could be of more help. When I installed it to my phone it just worked.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
I'm probably going to return this phone today anyway, the battery can't even last 8 hours.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
Since you have already app unlocked the phone, uninstall the SOTI program. It drains batteries insanely fast. Once you uninstall that, you will get your battery life back.

Secondly, what I had to do for the weather program, was to use CHome Configurator and do two things.

#1) Hide the two non-working panels.

For some reason two panels in CHome Configurator were showing in red as non-working. I forget what they were called.

#2) Change the registry entry CPRFile found in "HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome" from SlidingPanel to CHome.

This is telling it which cpr file to use. It is looking for SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr but the weather program is saving all the changes into CHome_320x240.cpr. What I actually did is I made a new file called SlidingPanelWeather_320x240.cpr and copied CHome into it. Then I changed the registry entry of CPRFile to SlidingPanelWeather and it took care of the rest.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
Thanks for the tips! I've removed SOTI and will keep an eye on the battery life now. I was shocked when I couldn't make it more than 7-8 hours without charging.

I kid you not, I am literally 15 minutes from walking out the door this morning and I was starting to get the chargers and the box together to return and get an iPhone. I've been setting my wifes up over the weekend and was impressed. But if I can get this working, I'll stick with it since the guy at the store hooked me up. Price matched Best Buy for $99 and then gave me the $100 mail in rebate for it. :D
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] peeps:
zeke, post up if you get it working with the directions above. I will try it on my wife's Jack tonight as well.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
I plan to give it another go this week.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] peeps:
I installed it, disabled the red panels in chome config, set up the options, rebooted and all works fine. good luck...
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
Is Chome Config part of the NRG Weather install or another tool that has to be loaded? I can't remember.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
Which theme/option are you using?

Which theme/option are you using?

Seriously, thanks again for pointing that out. I removed that app and disabled recieve incoming beams and my battery has been awesome since last night. Icon shows a full charge, detailed view shows 85% - 90% charge. You rule!!

I forgot to load a registry editor when I was at home. I had the NRG installer on my memory card and reloaded it while listening to a boring conference call today.

Layouts used:

1) iPhone Normal Layout (default) - didn't work

2) iPhone Slim Layout

3) Slim Panels Layout

4) Standard Panel Layout

5) HTC Normal Layout

6) HTC Slim Layout

7) NRG Slim Layout - didn't work

8) 6 Day Slim Layout

9) 6 Day Normal Layout (p) - didn't work

Some have stated that the app is working fine without any crazy modifications, I'm wondering what settings they are using.

The Extended Forecast panel works perfectly fine, it's the current conditions (I think that's what it is) that is giving me the red x. How do I hide it via the NRG Options or is that a reg edit that has to be done? Also, does this app add "Settings" entry for the Battery? I never noticed it until now, while it works there is no icon for it. Could it be something so simple as downloading one of those image packs?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
I realized - I am using NRG's MiniWeather 1.2. It is, I guess, the one designed specifically for non-touchscreen phones. Let me find the thread that I got it off of. I'll edit this post to add it in.

((edit))

Which one of the 3 worked for you?

Edit #1: I'm trying the BlackJack version now. Same thing, 1st panel is a red x and battery shows a red x in the settings panel. 2nd panel works wonderfully though. I'll have to try the regular version for any device later, I thought the BlackJack would be a better starting since this was a Samsung Jack.

Edit #2: Downloaded PHM Registry editor and emailed it to myself. So I was able to change the registry entry from SlidingPanel to CHome and everything is showing up now. Text got mighty small, but the layout is very well done! Still get a red X for the battery icon, but that I can live with since the rest is working properly.
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] mellojoe:
I don't use the battery feature on it. I have turned off the Settings panel, just cause I never use it, so I can't help you tweak that any better.

Glad its working for you. I love it. Even better than the weather app that I had originally paid for, and no longer use. :)
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] zeke009:
I had Fizz Traveller installed, but with no homescreen plugins for WM6.1 it was worthless to me. This little app is amazing.

If he could package it up so it works with retail devices or makes CHome reg change during install, this could be the most popular weather app in the new MS Application Store I think (when it's officially live).

Hi,

Contemplating on buying the Hero. I have been using PIM backup for years. Can I migrate it all accross? What is the syncing like with Outlook please?

Cheers,

Will
[Hero, G2 Touch General] R3PUBL1K:
There is no version of PIM Backup for Android at present (can't see it in the future either).

Though you could use a trial version of 4smartphone.com or a free exchange host to sync your email and contacts and the download them to the hero. This is what I did.

The only thing missing was the text messages - but that was fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] samjpullen:
I have gone from a Diamond (Ignito) to a Hero and i love it...

What i did was sync my contact in outlook and then export them to e CVS file and uploaded it to my GMail account.

Sync with GMail and now i have all my contacts on my phone, its great :p

Went from Diamond to Hero, I use HTC Sync for calendar and contacts sync with Outlook 2007, works fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] veejayjameson:
I went from a Diamond to Hero too.

Firstly, I can now understand what i have been missing out on by not having a capacitive touch screen!

Also, I synced my outlook contacts with google contacts first. Using some freeware called: GO Contact Sync.

Its a good simple app. From there its easy, the hero will autosync with google contacts and voila!

All you have to do is run the program every so often to keep it all up to date.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] christonge:
I also made the switch but from Diamond2 and after YEARS on Windows Mobile devices... very easy to use. 2007 exchange server working perfectly with Contacts, calendar and mail. It's fantastic. OK there's a few issues with the smoothness of the UI at times but hey I remember the first releases of TFL3D and that was far worse than this... and look how smooth it is now. So. I'm sure this will be improved by HTC very soon. ;)

Hi

I don't know if any of you guys have problem like this or not, but screen on my topaz seems to got wet inside, when I place it against the light I can see that it is sort of wet inside the screen and the sencetivity of the screen has been dropped. Last night it seemed that the top layer of the screen sticked to the lower layer and I could see the sensor dots on the lower layer of the screen so it stopped the phone getting started.

I dont think I can use the gaurantee cause I modified the rum.

so wondered if you guys had the same problem, or I am open to any suggestions that what can be done.....
