Guys... the problem is with the ROM... You need to update it... Bell offers an OTA. To activate it... go start, settings, today and put back BELLUI and remove TOUCHFLO (I know that sucks...but its temporary). Once you've done that soft reset the phone and wait a few seconds. There will be a white screen poping up saying "UPGRADE IN PROGRESS" this will automatically update all sounds notifications (for email and text messages) . Once the update is done you can remove BELLUI and put back the TouchFLO or SPB or whatever your using ;)
[Touch Pro CDMA] decoder30:
Anyway to force the update?
[Touch Pro CDMA] decoder30:
Yup no update for me
[Touch Pro CDMA] dupster:
Once you change to BellUI... let it sit for a minute... it will start by itself... if it doesnt, then turn off the device and turn it back on and wait about a minute. Make sure you have the factory Bell ROM installed... this doesnt work with custom ROM's
[Touch Pro CDMA] dupster:
Hey guys... if the update still doesnt work. Try this cab file...

This definately works
[Touch Pro CDMA] WIndeXqc:
Had the same problem and i tried the TF3d and the regular wm setup because the HTC rep told me it was a known problem with the bell UI.

One day I decided to do the opposite and put back the Bell UI and after 5 to 10 minutes it prompt me for an update.

Tried the TF3d and i now get the soud and vibrate notification with my emails.
[Touch Pro CDMA] dupster:
Thank god for those HTC reps !!! ;)

Dears,

Yesterday I got a HTC touch diamond. I'm very new user of windows mobile.

I'm getting trouble to install software in my windows mobile. for example when I try to install "skypemobile" it shows skypemobile is not a valid pocket pc application!!, When I try to install "total control" it shows skypemobile is not a valid pocket pc application. !!

Can u please guide me how to install them properly?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] jjjohan:
i have same problem with u bro...

i can't install in my computer n my pocket too using customruu.exe

have i install net framework version? n visual studio version?

i wanna upgrade my windows mobile too
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Medulla:
exe based installers generally aren't run on the phone itself, what you do for them is connect your phone to your PC and make sure the phone is shown as connected in either ActiveSync (Windows XP and 2000) or Mobile Device Centre (Vista and Windows 7). You then run the exe file on your actual PC and ActiveSync/Mobile Device Centre will autopmatically handle the installation across onto the phone.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] murad12s:
Thank You Medulla for your kind information :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] letsflyak:
anyone on here do repairs on tilts? i have a 8925, and need the keyboard replaced on it
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Digital Outcast:
If you can't find anyone- PPC Techs is a very reputable site.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] u2pop:
If you dont mind opening your unit, then you can order a new keyboard and install it yourself. I did mine, ordered new keyboard set from eBay around $15. Just make sure you buy the keyboard set including e "buble" part underneath it.

Instruction to open Kaiser can be found in wiki page.

Good luck!

Amazin Bluetooth Headset.

I dont know if i am replying to this thread too late, but here it is anyways. I was looking for a bluetooth headset myself and me being a "fan of sound" look for as much quality for the price as possible. After a lotta work this is wat i decided on.

Kensington Bluetooth Stereo Headphones with Microphone.

This device does not have the really irritating bluetooth hiss thats prevalant in other headphones.

I liked it and hope this is wat you are looking for.

Regards

[Touch Viva, MDA Basic Accessories] karthiksk:
Actually I wouldn't recommend either, Nokia or Sony Ericsson.

If you are an audiophile, and want dedicated headphones/earphones that mean business look at Sennheiser. Now that good stuff. The MM100 is what I am looking at buying but am not able to find a retailer here in Bangalore :(.

[Touch Pro CDMA] forlornme5:
so i've been building computers since i was 13 so i know what i'm doing when it comes to computers. but i'll be the first to admit that i'm new to modding phones. now on to the reason for this thread... i've read through 40 or so threads and haven't found even one talking about a decent registry editor that i can run from the phone. what are some decent reg editors? where can i get them? what are the bonus's of this reg editor over that reg editor? is it possible to run it from the phone, or do i have to run it from a computer? of all the reading that i did i only found 2 regeditors even mentioned. and of those only one had a way to be able to dl it. can i please get some help on this? even if it's just a "hey stupid, why didn't you read

this

thread?"
[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
have you looked at PHM REGEDIT yet? it runs directly from the phone. there are many apps that do registry edits

http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/

there are plenty that should do what you want, feel free to search this site or google.

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-mobile-registry-editor-v1-11.html
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
As drdrewdown mentioned, you can't go wrong with PHM Regedit. It is (at least in my opinion) the best reg editor for PPC out there. Try it out, I can guarantee that you will like it!
[Touch Pro CDMA] forlornme5:
that's 2 recomendations for phm, and nothing for anything else! that's a little dissapointing... i was hoping for some real conversations from this... oh well. phm it is! thanks for the help.:)
[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
how can anyone argue with the best.
[Touch Pro CDMA] forlornme5:
well unless im doing something increadably wrong (which i may be) i cant call it the best just yet. i attempdet to install the 0.7 version and then after it said that it was done installing my phone couldnt get on the internet any more. i tried everything to be able to get back online but the only thing that worked was a master reset. i found no new icons on my desktop or my phone. no sign at all that it was installed other than the fact that i couldnt get on the web... any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro CDMA] drdrewdown:
can we get some info about your current setup?
[Touch Pro CDMA] forlornme5:
of course, anything you need! i'm running windows xp, and using factory default roms on the phone. what i did the first time was copy the msi file to the desktop and installed it while the phone was connected to the comp. the final step said that it was either going to install all the programs again or remove them. i figured that it's better to have them all uninstalled and i could manually install them again to avoid any complications. after it uninstalled everything i looked for the program on the phone. it wasn't there. i soft reset the phone and it still wasn't there. i did a search for it using the search key "reg" through the memory app and nothing. i then did a search for it on the computer using the same search keyword. nothing. i then was going online to make the post that i had before and found that the internet wasn't working. i checked the weather app to see if the data connection was down. weather pulled up just fine. i uninstalled the reg editor ande tried again. no success. so i did a master reset through the software on the phone. i tried to install the reg editor again to be able to see if it was just conflicting software within the phone. no sign that the program was installed again. internet failure again. another master reset and restored the pim this time. and that's where i'm at right now. if there's anything that i missed let me know. i hope that this helps. thanks.
[Touch Pro CDMA] forlornme5:
so what's the process that i should use to install it?
[Touch Pro CDMA] forlornme5:
so no more help with this, huh?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] thierry2064:
I have tested Resco, Spb and Sprite.

Resco seems to backup and restore correctly, but reports problem with closing manilla.exe and some other executable.

I used Sprite once, it seemed ok but in the log it reported that it could not back up QTV.dll. This seems a no go!

SPB seems to backup and restore with no issue. I did not see a log though (and my trial period is over). The only drawback is I did not see it restore individual files as resco does.

I'd like to read other's experience before buying one of these (at the moment my choice is SPB).

Thierry
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] radiowc:
I am using SPB for year now. Very happy with it. Give me 100% restore whenever I got screw up with the bad tweak or registered edit or gone crazy :D. Had done many times of backup and restore with it. Usually SPB will backup everything on your device. (excludes external memory). No issue with it so far.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] animelover:
Spb Backup was the most stable Backup software I ever used! Both Sprite and Resco gave me some errors when restoring a full backup with Manila enabled, Spb wasn't interested in it! :D

So, if ypou want a good deal between functionality, stability and price: Spb is your choice in my opinion!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
Ok. I'm starting to see more and more threads popup about their beloved TP2 taking damage, or getting destroyed. There are links starting to fly around and i thought before it got too crazy and disorganized, I would start to try to collect them into a single thread. Perhaps people could even tell their tales of how their device got damaged, their service experience, and most importantly, the cost of repair (if any).

I also plan to add other things such as backup software and links to parts when i find them.

Hopefully, others plights will serve as a list of what NOT to do to our phones. lol

This is a site that contains all the service manuals for HTC devices. No link yet for the Touch Pro 2/Rhodium, but as soon as one is posted, ill add a direct link.

Parts

HTC Touch Pro2 BA S390 Battery (1500mAh)

Soon as a U.S. supplier is found, i shall post it here as well.

==================================================

Backup

SPB Mobile Backup Full cost $24.99, but their is a trial download. (not sure if this supports device cloning)

Sprite Clone Mobile Clone software. Full seems to cost $300

==================================================

The "Wobble"

A lot of people seem to be complaining about their screen wobbling while tilted. Not sure why anyone is messing with it, but regardless, measurements have popped up. (typical guys, lol) My personal TP2 has ~3mm of freeplay. I personally, consider this acceptable. Others have reported as much as 9mm of freeplay. Its been said that HTC claims a little freeplay is normal. How much freeplay is normal to them, is unclear. From what i have gathered around this forum, is that others seem to consider exchanging it when its 5mm or more of movement. Ill keep everyone posted on this.

==================================================

Water Damage

Posting this due to a seemingly number of claims that the water sticker is far too sensitive, and in a fairly bad location.

Anyone have any more major issues with their TP2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] remarks:
My device has 6 bright pixels. Barely noticeable due to such a hi-res screen. Not exactly "damage" but I see you included the screen "wobble" in your list.

Dead/bright pixels in tp2

FYI - CNN.CN are selling spare parts. I have used them in the past for Kaiser parts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Lyian:
Yea, im including anything that might be considered a hardware issue, that would more than likely cause the TP2 to stop working, or need a particular part replaced.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] josh_prayyforplagues:
Never thought i would have to post here. :(.

so ive had pretty much the worst day of my life. I got hit by a car on my way to work at 530 in the morning. [I ride a bike, since work is a couple streets over]. I have road rashes all over my face, ear, and shoulder. I decided to call in to work, and instead, go to marching band rehearsal. [Still in high school, btw.].. At lunch, me and a couple friends went to CarlsJr. for some eats. and then drove back to the school. I got out of the car and just by fate, my Tmo TP2 fell, bounced off my leg and landed under the wheel. For some reason my friend pulled forward, and then all i heard around me was a crunch. My screen got curb stomped by his tire. I yelled and screamed. after he stopped i told him he ran it over. He, then, backed it up thinking he was still on top of it, and crunched it some more. So now he was parked on my poor, helpless phone. Had no choice but to tell him to roll off of it. She still works. The screen is still touch sensitive, but its cracked to hell. The plastic is cracked from top to bottom, and the top left quarter of the LCD is no more. just a black liquid crystals where color once fulfilled my heart..

well at least i have insurance on it. Will T-mobile replace my handset under the circumstances?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
I would be demanding that this persons car insurance cover it, as it was ancillary to the wreck. INAL but it's certainly easy to argue that if he had not hit you, you would not have dropped your phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] prophetussss:
Did anyone hear anything about newton rings or overheat damage on the TP2 like it seems to happen quite often to TouchHD users?

I am a bit afraid of that as HTC seems to deny warranty coverage for that kind of defect and the TP2 uses the same hardware (to large parts).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vdKarel:
If you have insurance then you can easily get if fixed right? At least, most insurances also cover repairs due to own faults.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] loueber:
in my experience with Tmo and there insurance..

in the US they use a company called "Assurian"

they insure the LINE that you have with tmobile.. so basically whatever phone you have on that number, is supposedly insured...

they also say no matter WHAT the reason they will cover the cost of the phone...if you drop it, get it wet... crack the screen..whatever...

BUT... this is what i recomend...

before you put a claim in, call tmobile OR assurian, and just cassually ask about how the insurance works...ask what they would cover.. ( chances are they will cover everything)

next they first try to help you fix the phone ( if it were software related issues) then they tell you you have a 100$ deductible and they will replace the phone for you... and pretty much mail you a new phone..

in my circumstance i had a SE p900 i paid $1000 for... when i plugged in the ear peice it broke the internal connector and it never was able to use the handset speaker during calls...

they first "tried" to fix it on the phone by changing settings...obviusly to no avail.. then they said ok, no problem since tmobile doesnt sell p900's we will replace it with the best brand they do sell... unfortunatly none of the phones tmo sold was a valid replacement.. i told them no its unacceptable.... then then argued a little cuz they had to shell out $1000 because when i signed up they told me they would cover any phone for any reason..

anyways... after 100$ deductible and some time on teh phone, they cut me a check for $800....i was very impressed...

you should be fine, i dont think they will try to fix it, i think they will just replace it...also, MAYBE just tell them you lost it, they will replace it with deductible.. this way even though its crunched you will have SOME spare parts... but use caution because if you tell them its lost you cant EVER power it up on your sim chip. it shows on tmobile. then they will try to call you on insurance fraud...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] brucemeng:
Hello,

I've had a peculiar problem recently.

My internal phone speaker (earpiece, not loudspeaker) sounds pretty terrible now, when it sounded absolutely fine just over the weekend. I did not do anything different than before and I didn't do anything to damage it... (to my knowledge at least)

The problem is... the speaker vibrates and is very distorted and sounds really loud. Like if you were playing music too loudly on a low powered amp/speaker.

I tried installing a new rom and some volume tweaks to lower the volume hoping it's a software thing, but it still sounds very distorted...

Any ideas? Is there an equalizer for the internal speaker?

I'm hoping the speaker itself is not damaged...

Stomped.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
Ghost image...

I had to return mine after a week. Two faint bluish purple areas formed on the lcd, almost like a faint image got 'burned' in. I'm not sure how this happened, and it was def a burnt image. They replaced it with no questions asked, but I did get the warranty on the new phone....along with the body glove case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cocoaju:
Finally I have sold my TP2. Traded it in for the Samsung GT-i8000 which will arrive next week.

Though I loved the TP2, it's speed and it's hardware keyboard, it bugged me that it is slowly falling apart (well, not literally).

When I first had it, the screen would hold up and wouldn't wobble much. Now it wobbles so much it annoys me. I guess that is normal wear and tear.

Anyway, that wasn't the most annoying part. It is normal for it to wobble I guess. The worst is the sliding screen has started scratching both sides of the keyboard. Not just minor scratches but deep ones. So much so, I was afraid to slide my keyboard out again. I would of kept the stickers on to protect it but it feel off as time went by. So that is why HTC placed stickers on these things maybe, but unfortunately it never stayed on long enough.

And last but not least, there were newton rings, slam in the middle of the screen. I can notice it when the screen is lit or sleeping. I went to HTC to see if they will fix it for me. Turned out they blame me for putting it my pocket and with prolonged pressure, it will create these rings... Damn! If I knew, I wouldn't of kept it in my pocket without any casing. Never knew my pocket will create these rings. Fixing it costs $1200 HKD. EAT MY SHORTS!

So all 3 added together, I don't want to keep it anymore. I don't want another because of the slider and wobbly screen. I went to Wilson Communications (Hong Kong) and traded it in and when they saw the Newton Rings, they said it is normal for large screens to have them as it's hard for the large piece of top layer membrane to keep rigid long enough. Eventually they all will give in and the rings will appear after prolong usage.

I personally disagree, I think only some will suffer from them as my HD is still ok, no rings whatsoever. Even after it has been in my wife's bag since April.

I also guess I can't wait until WinMo 7 comes out when it will support capacity screen. HTC has some new copyright thingy where you are able to use both a stylus and your fingers (not nails) to operate the system. Some kind of electro-stylus. So accuracy won't be a problem anymore.

Until then, I might have to keep my i8000 for a while. The mrs is not rather happy about me changing phones so often. LOL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
Sounds like the other reports of pressure on the screen causing damage.. It's not 'burnt' or image burn (which does not happen on LCDs, although a very temporary similar thing can happen but goes away after being powered off for a bit). Most likely your phone screen was pushed inwards at some point.
