[Touch Pro CDMA] eigerzoom:
i'm a power user

i use gps, phone, email, text all day

i'm selling my touch pro because its useless

i cant charge the device because it overheats

the only option i have found is the mugen 3000mah battery

considering my total investment i have decided to go with a car-pc

have more features...more processing power...and certainly no issues like this

i'm really disappointed in the touch pro because of this

i thought all my problems were solved when i upgraded from the mogul

i'm going back to the mogul...its very reliable

i could do everything i needed without basic power problems

yes it lacks ram...but i never had issues which caused such frustration

anyways...sorry to be negative but this is the breaking point for me

i can see the touch pro being useful device...but not for me

i drove 1 hour on the gps and battery was dying...tried charging and it stopped.

i need functionality...

i could use the gps on the mogul for many hours...never having a problem.

the touch pro is unjustified
[Touch Pro CDMA] eigerzoom:
well it looks like in the past couple days no2chem has been attacking this issue for cdma users

i may give this a try...but my phone already gets really hot...

i'm not really sure how dangerous this might actually be

Anyway change your default album to whatever album you would like to see on your desktop. It only shows your desired default album. Or you can disable the picture portion of touchflo 3d in the settings so that it doesn’t show any pictures.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ARHMogul:
you can also create a multi layer sub folder on the storage card... Just start with another name other than "My Pictures" and add a couple more folders after that. Thats where I keep my "secret agent" files! :) Just an option.

The spell check on the phone sucks! I want a spell check that would tell me the word is missed spelled with maybe red line under it or whatever when I text and send emails. I also don't want to add all the CAPS in I's, put ' in don't and CAPS in a letter after the periods. Is their a way for all that to automatically change after pressing space?

I don't know, I guess I'm so use to my Blackberry.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
There's no spell checker in Windows Mobile.

There used to be an automatic grammar correction, such as didnt -> didn't (automatically adding the aphostrophe). But, HTC or T-Mobile removed that. Same as the automatic capitilazation. WinMo normally does something like this:

I am typing a sentence. It automatically capitalizes.

But then the Touch Pro 2 will do this, because they removed that feature for some reason:

i am typing a sentence. it automatically fails :(

So, lets go burn down HTC. Or, wait for the custom ROM's to come out.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
I'm kind of new to HTC phones so I wouldn't know all that. Forget waiting lets just go burn down HTC!:mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
Yep, I'm pissed at them. That was a good feature in Windows Mobile, but they somehow ****ed it up. And, I have a feeling they don't care about Windows Mobile anymore, they've moved onto Android.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
I hope Windows Phone (WM6.5) is improved and gives us the basics that we need.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
WinMo 6.1 already has the basics that we're talking about. Heck, WM6.0 had those basics!

It's all HTC or T-Mobile that goes to blame here. But we should be getting some custom ROM's soon, which means that we might get that feature back. I'm guessing that in less than a month, we'll see HardSPL up and running, and then custom ROM's being built.

I know you don't know what that means, lol, but basically, you'll be able to use a "Operating System" that was put together by a forum member, which is usually about 3x faster than the default operating system, and will give you more featues, like our better spelling, hopefully.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sixfoot7:
"missed spelled". Funny.

So what you're actually looking for is spell check, grammar & auto-complete all rolled into one by the sounds of it. I found when I'm using the physical keyboard

only

, and have XT9 enabled, my TP2 auto-capitalizes after a full stop (period). With the XT9, which seems to learn as you go, that is about as good as it gets.

I had auto cap after periods, and automatic contraction apostrophes on my Palm OS Treo, but found that it made me lazy going to a regular PC keyboard for the first 10-15 minutes of typing. I would forget, and evreything ended up being lowercase, and then I had to go back and correct it.

Hope this helps.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] HeavyComponent:
I think I will start typing on XT9. And for my "missed spelled" didn't need to edit since I thought you guys wouldn't do what you did. Typed all that on my TP2....misspelled!!!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I don't think it was ever in JacHero. It's in Haykuro6.0, that's a Rogers ROM though, so I don't know if it's the same or not. Btw, what is HTC sync? :P

If you dont have adb and want to copy something you can use the terminal:

su

cp sdcard/somerandomfile.apk /new/location

so for example

su

cp /sdcard/htcsync.apk /system/sd/app_s

I highly doubt that's the correct location, just an example of how to use the cp command to copy stuff.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
You will be better off PMing JAC for location and instructions since he is the one who took it out of the build. The reason I'm saying this is that he might of take out some libraries and/or drivers that are necessary for it as well. Have him reply in this thread so everyone can see it.

So I did some research and found out that a beta version of KingxKx Hero Rom includes HTC_Sync. (Found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563294 / http://www.4shared.com/file/134955673/b3aa02e6/KiNgxKxROM_Beta1_signed.html)

I flashed it and it works flawlessly (syncing contacts and calendar). It was removed in subsequent versions though.

I found a set of .apk files (Found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=553996 / http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=208015&d=1248333223) which, when installed on newer Hero roms, adds Sync functionality again, but there's a flaw:

The PC software recognizes the device not as a Hero, but as a Magic. HTC Sync for Magic only syncs contacts.

This is either because:

a) the files stem from a HTC Magic and therefore only add "Magic" functionality or

b) the rom maker somehow changed the roms "appearence" to look like a HTC Magic to the PC Software.

To be sure I need to extract the pcsii.apk and sync.apk from either a stock Hero rom or the Beta from above.

Can somebode help me out with this? I have no idea how to do that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I tried simply taking the pcsii.apk from the zip files of releases which had the Outlook Sync still intact, but the Hero Rom (Kingklick 1.8) wouldn't let me install it.

What are .odex files, do I need them, and if yes, how do I install them to custom Roms?

I see that Outlook Sync support is not very popular with the rom community, hence it's among the first things removed from roms, but I'd really like to use it.

There must be some people around that know a fair bit about rom optimization and would be able to do this in a minute or two.

Rom makers don't answer to PMs and I just don't know enough about this.

So if anyone sees this who has done something similar before, please help!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
There's a red one at the centre of my screen which is really annoying, it's visible when trying to look at video and always ends up being what I focus on.

Since I noticed it I had a look and found more. About ten, mostly bright blue/green in colour. They're dotted around the screen, most on the edges.

The problem is that they're SO small you only really notice them in low light situations, which is when I'd want to use the phone to play video clips (before I go to sleep). To be honest, most of them you'd be hard pressed to see ever unless looking at a totally black screen, but 2-3 of them are really distracting. I don't know how to go about getting Orange to verify this problem. They've already denied me a replacement phone on the basis that they don't think the gap/unsealed screen is an issue and I think they'll try and fob me off.

I asked to be released from the contract when they said that they wouldn't be providing me with a phone which is up to standard and was refused.

I just feel really f*cked off with the whole experience. I wish I'd never bothered getting the phone, much less signing up to an 18 month contract for it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Personally I'd contact HTC rather than Orange. Orange customer service = dog sh!t IMHO.

If HTC confirm that you can get this fixed / replaced, send that to Orange for confirmation that the manufacturer says it is faulty so they should then replace it.

If they fob you off, get a supervisor and take it further.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Thanks Nicelad,

I told Orange that I'd contacted HTC (about the screen gap issue) and they had me take my phone to an Orange store and compare what they had in stock there with my handset.

The guy in the store said that the gap on my phone was a little bit bigger and the guy on the phone refused the replacement, saying that the gap that it wouldn't impede the performance of the phone. I argued that it'll be annoying once the screen is full of dust but they said that the performance of the phone would be unaffected so it didn't matter.

Although I'd found the hot pixels by this point I couldn't find them myself in the store under the bright lights so didn't bother saying anything to the guy in the shop.

I think I'm going to have to end up sending the phone to be serviced by HTC themselves which in itself fills me with dread as a quick google suggests that they blame anything they can on user error and then charge £20 for having looked at it.

Has anyone dealt with HTC's servicing?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Hmm when did you get the phone and how? In store or by phone/internet? Try using distance selling to just send it back :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Unfortunately, I'm over the 7 days.

I'm also on my third phone, the first one had no reception, the second had the gap and weird backlight bleeding (I only complained about the gap) and this one has the gap and the pixels.

It was ordered online almost 3 weeks ago.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Hmm too bad. I guess they're looking at the history and thinking you're just picky.

Its a pitty it doesn't develop a misterious hard to reproduce reception fault ;) Then I would be inclined to kick up a huge fuss saying since you got it you just havnt been able to use this phone properly and its just not fit for purpose. EU regulations means you can ask for a refund and avoid all the waranty nonsense - even after 30 days.

You just need a fault to develop now :P

PS seen this thread? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=545575

Looks like a common fault, that they really couldnt argue with you about since its not down to interpretation. If they tell you to go the waranty route, tell them you know you're rights and you're contract is with them. Either demand a new phone, or tell them you've had enough and want a total refund.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Just called Orange again...

They're sending me handset number 4! An unexpected turn of events.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Lol what did you say?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
I just said "I've got stuck pixels, HTC say you should replace it" and the guy put it through.

I think it depends on who you get, as soon as the guy spoke I thought he sounded alright and I guess that's all it is. The woman who started the process of denying the significance of the gap sounded like a total jobsworth from the outset.

Basically, my advice is say nothing unless asked and hope for someone cool!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
Lol cool! Lets hope no 4 is ok :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I just put in for my 4th handset aswell. I feel guilty but then I think sod it, I paid 400 quid I want absolute quality.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
If there's one thing this whole experience has taught me it's that I won't order something like this online again. There's too much to go wrong with it, much better to buy instore and reject immediately if necessary IMO.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Switchbitch:
I agree, if I get another dodge one I'll get my money back and try to get one on the high street so I can fully inspect it first.

I like the white one though- where can you get it that isn't mail order?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
No Gap. :)

I've already seen some bad pixels though, hopefully they won't be too significant, I'll try to not let them bother me and if I can, I'll just get on with it...

EDIT: Just checked and while there are quite a few bad pixels, they're nowhere near as bad as the ones on my previous phone which had 3 really significant ones. This one has probably ten, but they're really small and seem to be only noticeable on a totally black background.

Not exactly the perfect result but I think this is the one I'll keep.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
10! :eek: Still, thats bad!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Yeah, but you literally cannot see them unless really looking for them and only on a totally black background, they're tiny, I don't know if there are different degrees of stuck pixel but these would have to be the mildest.

I just watched a bit of a tv show with lots of dark scenes under a blanket (don't ask) so it was completely black. If I wanted to I could complain again but on my 4th handset, with no gap and everything else seeming fine I'll take what I've got. These are never going to be visible at anything approaching normal lighting. The one I sent back had pixels that could only be seen in a dim room anyway. Of the 4 I've had this is the one I'd pick. If I send it back and have to go through another 4 to get one this good then it'd be ridiculous. Not that I can imagine Orange allowing me 8 handsets.

Incidentally, the guy on the phone said "We're replacing the phone, battery, battery cover and charger" which led me to believe that I was getting a reconditioned phone but it was a new one that arrived.

When they collect a phone they take only the items listed above, This means I've got an extra 3 headsets and 3 USB leads now (I only gave them the plug part of the charger back). Which is handy since I had thought about hacking up the headset and putting some decent earphones on it and it means I can leave a USB lead in the charger, one in the computer, one in my 360 and one in my bag. Oh yeah, and 3 2gb cards (I broke one by running over it with my office chair wheels) Which is nice.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Biffert:
10 pixels? I would never accept that. Just keep nagging em till you get what you paid for!

Here is what you could do: Gather all the correspondence you had with the reseller, receipts, letters, e-mails anything. Write a letter explaining that you tried 4 different models that all had problems and that you want a working device without faults delivered to your house within the next 2 weeks and if not, you demand a refund (so you can buy the phone somewhere else)

Make copies/prints of all the letters and stuff you have, and put that in the envelope with the letter.

Send the letter to the reseller but go by the mail office (send it as a registered piece or something - dont know the correct translation for that :)) and make sure the mailman has the reseller sign off on accepting your letter. (So you have some evidence he actually received the letter).

Now you wait out the 2 weeks, if you hear nothing from the reseller, you have every right to demand a refund anyway you want.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Dunno man, I'm not sure if my experience matches what other people's is of hot pixels. I bought my Mum a monitor for her computer a while ago which had a glaring green pixel about a third from the right of the screen, really in plain view but didn't say anything about it. She didn't notice it and was unaware of it when I mentioned it after the screen had to be replaced after 6 months (total panel failure). When I was a child I had a Sega Game Gear (remember those? I'm ageing myself here...) which had a dead pixel and I'd see it every single time I played a game. On my last phone there were at least 15 dead pixels (I stopped counting) and 3 were really significant, even though one was on the edge of the screen, as in the first row of pixels. The rest you didn't really see, except in low light and with a black background and a bit of a squint(I should note that I had the backlight turned up too).

Basically, I'm saying that I'm aware of them and have been annoyed by them in the past.

None of the pixels on this phone are as significant as the bad ones on my last phone. Also, in case people aren't sure, stuck pixels can be smaller than dead ones since they're only partly filled (I think). These are smaller than the bad ones on my last phone. Therefore I believe they're smaller than a pixel. When you're talking about 320 of them in lines, they're pretty small anyway.

The 3 signficant ones which were MUCH brighter than all the others and drew your eye on my last phone were really distracting. This phone has maybe one getting towards that that and it's right in the corner, but I still find it less signficant than the one on the very edge of the screen on my last phone.

Also, I watched something on my iPod last night which I have in a protective plastic case. The nicks, dents and scuffs between me and the screen haven't bothered me for ages now and I could easily remove the case to watch stuff if it bothered me.

If there was an HTC service centre nearby I'd maybe pop in there and try and get them to confirm / deny if my phone was within the scope of needing/being eligible for replacement.

It wouldn't surprise me if there are loads of people on this forum who have 10 stuck pixels like the ones on my phone but don't realise it.

Today, I don't think it's worth the hassle to me and I'm gonna try not to get worked up about it and I'm going to try not to pay attention when I do notice them. I'm not gonna go looking for fault either. I'd definitely take this screen over my previous 2, there are far worse ones out there.

If it gets really annoying maybe I will put it in for service a little while down the line.

Of course tomorrow I reserve the right to be filled with righteous rage and anger at the cheek of Orange and HTC in trying to get me to accept this shoddy joke of a piece of hardware. :p

EDIT: BTW, thanks for offering advice and trying to help, I do appreciate it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kam187:
OMG! The statistics of you always getting dead pixels must be crazy... I really wonder if maybe the dead pixels are in your retina and not the devices :D

Well, to be fair, no monitor or tv or ipod or DS or other phone I've had has had this problem. I think HTC hate me!
