Mine does not have this issue either, but I'd like the cab mentioned that prevents screen sleeping when kb is open. I'm hitting that button by accident when writing emails. It is mildly irritating having to be so careful. If a cab would prevent it , that'd be great.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] oldpueblo:
Loose battery? It does get a little bump when it opens and closes, could it be the battery area is a bit bigger then it should be and the battery wiggles? See how flush it is.

Also in the video that's the sprint TP2, not verizon. Or is that not you and it happens on both?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Aspesi4:
I'll check the battery. It's an issue across all brands (Verizon, Sprint, etc.). Not just the Verizon version. The video is just an example of what's going on. I'm really surprised no one else has witnessed this problem. I love the phone and want to keep the Touch Pro 2, I just don't want a defective phone which I just paid $489 for. It should work perfectly.

Now that you mention the battery, I'm curious if the battery I received with the original phone is physically smaller in dimensions. The first phone had the issue along with the second phone. However, Verizon ships you a new phone without the battery since you're supposed to use your original. Now I'm really curious....
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] l.waples:
I have expierenced the same problem he is talking about. These phones are real sensitive to moisture. That's the cause I had the tech open it and blue dry it out and it started working again. Then it was raining and it left it in my hand and the mositure got back into the phone and the tech had to do it again. Then it got a little bit of moisture from the car wash I work at and I had to have the tech do it again.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] syntrix:
So you got the phone wet working in a car wash and you are still hitting the backlight buton?

A wet phone is not a VZ problem, sorry son! :D
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Aspesi4:
This has nothing to do with moisture from what I can see. I'm going to cntact tech support tonight. The only connection I can make between phone no. 1 and no. 2 are the batteries. Going to see if they can ship me a new battery instead. Not sure if that's possible. They currently only have replacement phones available and not new ones. So not sure if I can get just the battery.

I can guarantee you it's not because of moisture though.

Just contacted Verizon... they're shipping me a brand new battery for free. Going to test it to see if that solves the problem. Not sure if it will, but at least I'll have a second battery when I finally have a phone that's working!
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] amcq1010:
I'll put my vote in for the link for the CAB to disable backlight button when keyboard is out....

please provide.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Aspesi4:
Just an update. I received my new battery and the phone seems to work fine. Some how the sliding feature of the phone would jiggle the battery and some how turn the phone of because of loss of power.

Interesting.... So I guess I never had two defective phones huh?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] stvervaag:
Hi

I upgraded with the official WM 6.5 rom from HTC yesterday,and the unit shuts down when I close the slider(and I do not touch the power button).I then went back to the original WM 6.1 and the problem was gone.I then assume this is a software issue? Anyone else with this experience?

Regards

Steinar
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] AstarteSV:
the official wm 6.5 for USA CDMA is out already?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] cmdauria:
I am on sprint and am having the same exact problem!!!:mad::mad::mad:
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] oldpueblo:
No the euro versions.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Aspesi4:
I take it back. The phone definitely still does it. It shuts off only when you slide the phone shut without guiding it with your other hand to reduce the impact. I think I'm going to return the Touch Pro 2 and see if I can get my money back.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tennex:
Which version of Windows mobile are you running.

Hi, Which version of windows mobile are you running? Just wondering if it is related to 6.1 or 6.5 maybe?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] tunde25798:
Shuts off when closing Keyboard

I've had the same problem after dropping in outside while it was raining. I think the problem can be moisture related and also if the battery gets banged around when closing. I did blow inside the battery compartment (like an old nintendo game) and it seems to cleared up the problem.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] spyrox04:
I had the same problem till now. Even when i had the phone in side pocket it turned off when walking long distance. But I solved it by adding a strip of paper between the battery and the case (upper corner where you remove the battery) and its working w/o problems now.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] DavidinCT:
Does anone have the link for the cab to disable the power/sleep button when the keyboard is open ? THis is one of my big hates with this phone, every time I open the keyboard, just typing I will hit the button and shut off the phone....

Anyone ?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mmiller7:
Wow, that's a great fix!

I've had the same problem intermitantly when opening (not closing) the slider - I blamed it on having dropped the phone a few times and the battery door catches are kinda broken. I have the extended battery which doesn't fit as "tight" as the stock battery. I'd fixed it in the past by removing and re-seating the battery repeatedly and it worked for months but then I dropped it and the battery flew out, the problem came back. In my case I discovered the battery slides easily side-to-side and I think when it moves the battery contacts then hit a dirty spot, a piece of index card is about the right thickness to hold it tight.

I've been in the rain heavy enough to trip the water detector on the outside all red but I can see one in the "guts" of the phone below the battery compartment that is still white with pink lines so I don't think it's moisture IN the phone.

Sorry for bumping an old thread...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] icebreaker6868:
Even though these threads are old I am posting this info for all because

I've had a TP2 for 2 yrs. and discovered this battery issue after the first month of ownership. I solved it by using velcro(the soft side) by cutting a small strip an placing it at the oposite end of the battery compartment. The velcro has adhesive to hold it there. It wedges the battery tighter against the contacts at the other end. Obviously all the phones have this issue and this has not failed me yet. I also have upgraded to the higher capacity battery and now I am running the 3600MAH beast with the expanded cover. With this big battery and new cover I needed to add a wide strip(soft side velcro) to the inside of the cover to hold it against the cover as well. This worked so well that I can drop the phone and it still stays on even with the heavy battery. All the shut down issues have never occurred since and I can slam the slider in and out without issue.

My phone is running WM6.5, ICS cab installed, wifi hotspot, and also on the sd card

xandroid frx07.1 from XDA with wifi hotspot working.:)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ckmarbun:
Based on my experience it must be caused by the softwares you installed, in my case it was because i installed CHINESE FONDS.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mmiller7:
It could be, I had random reboots caused by QuickGPS downloading bad data, fixed by turning it off. But the power-fail on slider open/closed at least for me is a hardware issue, it persisted even after a hard-reset. Wedging the battery in with strips of index card cured it for me, I haven't had any problems since.
[G1 General] Zoide_:
Hi,

I'm running a ROM with HTC_IME (Latin keyboard) and HTC_CIME (Chinese keyboard with handwriting, PinYin, etc.).

Is there a way to switch between English and Chinese on the fly? The only way I have found of using the Chinese IME is to switch my whole Android Locale to Chinese.

Thanks
[G1 General] dan0zone:
long press on the text-field where you gonna type and select input method...
[G1 General] Zoide_:
Thanks! I didn't know it was so simple :o

Is HTC CIME supposed to work with Donut? I'm only getting FCs on my Sapphire with enomther's awesome 1.6 ROM :S
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
Just received my G1 today. Haven't changed anything, went through first boot, got everything setup to my liking, downloaded a few apps from the market.

Rebooted the phone since it looked like I lost data connectivity, and it's now stuck at the bootloader screen. It doesn't seem that the camera button is stuck, I can push it and feel actually depress. Booted into recovery and did a factory reset/wipe, still no good.

Should I be able to reflash an original ROM image from recovery to get going again? (After I hunt down an SD card)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
... how can you be "stuck" at the bootloader if you can already access the recovery?

Couple of things you can try:

1) Reflashing the ROM (since you can access recovery right?)

2) If you're actually stuck in the bootloader and can't get to any other screen, you can try:

fastboot reboot

3. If that doesn't work, you can try reflashing DREAIMG.nbh (RC29) and starting over.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
Yea, it boots right to the bootloader. If I hold power + home it goes into recovery, but that doesn't get me anywhere.

Tried reflashing RC29 via the bootloader. After it's complete, I press the action key to reboot, and it goes right back into the bootloader.

Where am I supposed to enter in "fastboot reboot"?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
Is there anything I should try updating at the recovery screen via SD card?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
if you just got the G1 recently and you haven't installed any custom software on it and you're already having theese issues why not just exchange it for one that actually works instead of going through the headache of trying to fix it? Especially if the software hasn't been modified and you keep getting thrown into the bootloader
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
That'll be the next step. I didn't buy it locally tho, through the web, so I'd like to see what I can do before I go that route.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
if you use the rc29 DREAIMG.nbh it writes over everything, so if your phone still dosn't load you may have a more serious problem, exchange may be your best bet
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
I've sent an email to the vendor I bought it from about exchanging it.

I've noticed that when booting into recovery, after pressing alt - L, the top of the screen says :

Android system recovery utility

E:Can't open /cache/recoverfy/command

Then it lists out the Alt commands.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackslim:
possibly try downloading the DREAIMG.nbh file again, format your sdcard to fat32 once more, let your phone boot into the bootloader and apply the update and cross your fingers and pray to wich ever god you believe in
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
I've left the battery out all night. I was in the process of formatting the sd at the computer again, and tried powering on the G1. Holy crap it boots up!

Now I'm back to the problem of no data services. I can surf the web all I want on the dash, I know I have a data plan. I'll have to give t-mo a call I guess, since I can't get the G1 registered now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucky 69:
ya i would call t mobile .they would prob replace for ya sounds like some thing weird going on!good luck
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
Ok, definently sending this back. It has stopped working again. I'd turn it off from the menu, swap out the SIM, and when I go to turn it back on, it'll boot to bootloader again. Reflashed later today for kicks, booted bootloader 1st time, booted up correctly the 2nd time (but didn't have SIM in), booted a 3rd time with SIM in to try to activate, but it went to bootloader again. Any subsequent boots are all to bootloader.

I'm thinking it's crappy hardware.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
Still intermittent booting. Until I get the goahead to send it back for an exchange, what else do we think I should try. Could it be the radio version? I tried to update with an HTC radio, but the signature didn't let it load. What, if any, radio downloads will work with a stock G1?

I'll try a few more things tonight, and post up what happens. Maybe check out tmobile's downloads for firmware updates.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
If I didn't buy the phone directly from t-mobile, would they be able to do anything for me if I take it in to a store?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
No they won't. Your best bet is to contact HTC cause the phone is still under warranty, but you better contact them soon cause the phone is about to be a year old on Oct. 20th I believe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laszlo462:
I'll try that then, since all I got for a response from the seller was "has the issue been resolved yet?" I'll check with HTC today about the manuf. warranty.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] theomni:
Would you guys say it is a good idea to buy the touch diamond 2 as a replacement for the Fuze? I'm considering this, but I would like to hear the opinions of people who have used both phones.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] audichris9:
That's a tough question. I did upgrade from the Fuze but my circumstances were unique. My Fuze screen stopped working due to water damage so I cashed in the insurance policy and got a new Fuze that I sold on Ebay for $270. I bought the Pure with no contract for $350. I surprisingly don't miss the full keyboard at all. I think the call quality is somehow better on the Pure unless I'm just imagining things and it fits in the pocket a lot better and is a lot lighter. I just installed the latest NRGZ rom and it looks so much better on the Pure with the extra screen real estate. My thoughts were that I was going to try it and if I don't like I'll pay the $35 exchange fee and get the TP2 when it comes out this month(hopefully). So far I'm keeping the Pure as a holdover until WM7 phones are out.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] vikramdhani:
hey can you tell me how does the onscreen keyboard feels on pure
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] flyboy009:
I had the fuze for 5 months and while I did enjoy quick typing on the slide out keyboard, after a few hours typing on the Pure with the soft keyboard I find I don't need the bulk of the keyboard after all.

This phone is definetely a keeper.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] theomni:
Yeah, for the msot part, I've noticed that I use the on-screen keyboard in potrait on the Fuze.

Also, did you have to pay a deductible of $125 when you were putting in your phone for water damage?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] theomni:

Edit: idk why it double posts. This has happened more often, even on other forums. :-\

(and no, I don't press post reply twice)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
Yea I've always hated the thickness the keyboard added. I find that I'm using my onscreen keyboard in portrait mode more and more often because I normally don't have both hands free to type on the slide-out keyboard. Plus I'm thinking the lack of some sort of Dpad would be hard to live with. Is there a hack to make the zoom slide bar work as directional keys?

The xT9 actually works very well with the EzInput2.1 I have cooked in my OC TP rom. I'd imagine it would be just a lovely on the Pure.

All in all I'd really have to see how it feels in my hands. My current Fuze has burn-in, which I plan on getting replaced. I still have all the original packaging and stuff from the Fuze, which I was planning on selling on ebay or craigslist perhaps. I was thinking I wanted at least $200.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] merkman:
Per another thread, I simply walked into my local AT&T store (which was pretty full, seemed to me) and when approached by a sales person, asked if they had the Pure for sale.

Was told that...

1) They aren't selling the Pure until the 4th (aka TOMORROW).

2) They only have about 2 in-stock.

3) They haven't been allowed to turn one on, and have no dummy units or any material I can look at to try and gauge my interest.

In the end, I left pretty disappointed. I mean, if I knew this device was good enough to satify me about the same as an HD2, I'd be happy to be there tomorrow at 9am and pick one up before my Seahawks get KILLED by the Colts. But I really don't know how much better THIS phone is than my Touch Cruise, and therefore I'm pretty disappointed by driving out to find out NOTHING.

Think I'll go play Madden, since the Huskies were getting beat by Notre Dame last I checked...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ATnTdude:
If you have a Fuze, I'd wait for the next upgrade cycle. The screen isn't that much larger. It's not faster. The build uses the same materials as the Fuze. On the other hand, it is running WM6.5, Build 21849.5.0.63 and the camera has a vastly improved white balance.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] BereanPK:
I stopped by not realising that the "new" phones were actually in the store this early (silly me) and checked out a working Pure... after putzing around with a Tilt 6.1 for the last couple of years and with this month seening the end of my contract, I was pretty impressed with it -- as far as that goes. Accelerometer seemed to work OK for some things; looked at the box and if I recall it had a 528 MHz processor (as of right now, still can't find any info on it on HTC's website - please someone correct me if I'm wrong), screen seems clearer to me (but of course you must realise I've been used to a Tilt for the last 2 years). The only thing I was unimpressed with (with the limited putzing I was able to do with the live demo model) was the on-screen "full QWERTY" keyboard which was a bit too small for my fingers. I tested in a Word document, tried to swing the phone sideways to see if it would move the document view and the keyboard to a landscape -- it didn't, but it DID do the automatic screen adjust in the Opera Browser which was preinstalled(thank God this model doesn't rely on the old PIE) But though I missed the slide-out keyboard on this unit, and realising that perhaps all phones will eventually go with virtual QWERTYs... I considered this to NOT be a deal-breaker for me tomorrow when they go on sale officially, since there are lots of free and low-cost keyboard apps out there that would make a virtual keyboard big enough to type on with my fat-ol' fingers.

And yes, it is a 6.5 device, I believe the box said 512MB ROM & 284 (at least I think) of RAM... seems pretty roomy for my taste, esp. given my 16GB micro-SD card (which I couldn't find the slot for on this device -- GASP! it better have one!) but then again -- my 10-year-old daughter was tugging at me trying to convince me to buy her one of the Samsung phones as her first phone for her birthday later this month -- so what with all that and one salesman beating my ear whilst the other was on a futile quest for information on this phone on their computer, I didn't get a full stem-to-stern look at the thing... but what I did see... I like.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rnc1688:
i just got one here in NY Staten Island 2 hours ago but they only have 1 which i already bought.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] merkman:
Thanks to all for your replies. Still about an hour and 20 minutes before my local store opens, but as I still haven't held it in my hands, I'm not going to go rushing in for one.

Couple questions for anyone who knows...

1) Resistive vs Capacitive... is this the difference between being able to do multi-touch or not? I'm sure it's more than that, but I'm not clear what the true differences on the Leo screen and this screen are.

2) Video on the Diamond2 - I'm sure it's better than on my Touch Cruise, which is actually good with CorePlayer and properly converted video. But if YouTube does better quality on the Diamond2 that would be nice.

The better camera would be nice, but it's no deal breaker for me. Overall, I'm wondering if the newer opera and higher res screen will make my browsing closer to an iPhone... or if I should just get sucked into an Apple 3GS like most of the world...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ATnTdude:
Capacitive screens are very sensitve to finger touch, they don't react to styluses (styli?) or finger nails, they're also less precise. Resistive requires pressure to work, so you can use fingernails or a stylus. It's more precise, but no resistive screen on the market supports multi-touch. So no pinch and zoom on Opera.

The Pure/TD2 has an MSM7200 processor and chipset. It is essentially the same guts as the Touch Pro/Cruise/Tilt 1/Kaiser, with a higher resolution screen. Performance should be pretty close to identical.

The Opera build included in the stock Pure ROM (17658) is not as fast as Safari, but it does a great job of rendring web pages.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] tsangwc:
Wouldn't sell without contract

NYC has a lot of the PURE around but no stores are willing to sell only the phone. Well, at least about the 10 that I called/visited said so.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] rifter:
It is 528 MHz.

Processor	Qualcomm® MSM7200A™, 528 MHz Reference URL

I'd suggest this then:HTC Touch Pro 2

It does, it supports SDHC

Expansion Slot	microSD™ memory card (SD 2.0 compatible) Reference URL
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] player911:
I have a Fuze and getting getting the crave. I like the bigger screen but I'm not sold on the onscreen keyboard for texting. While I use the onscreen keyboard on my Fuze in Portrait one-handed... the physical keyboard is nice. I like having the keyboard but I hate having the phone feel like a brick.

The sad note is that HTC didn't really upgrade anything over the original Diamond/TouchPro internally. It will still be just as snappy/sluggish as my Fuze. The smaller battery also has me worried.

And how is the microphone? I ask because my Fuze picks up background noise like no other. I'll be in my car with the windows up, relatively quiet... and people say it sounds like a vaccum cleaner. It really sucks. There is no way I could think about upgrading to a phone that has the same problem.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] loriolus:
Corporate stores are sellin Pure for $500, which with tax is over $200 than what attwireless is selling. Are there really stupid enough people who buy at such a higher price?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nofowuw:
So, I've been looking for a way to control your hero with your voice, like you can with the iPhone 3GS, where you can do just about anything by just telling it to do it.

Ofc i've searched an googled, but the only thing i find is "google talk / google voice" which AFAIK is a sort of IP phone which uses Internet to call with your special google number, which apparently is very cheap(closed beta though)..

anyway, is there an app for talking to your phone to make it do stuff?

I think i've seen a movie somewhere on the Internet where a guy speaks to a android devise and the phone types exactly what he said into a SMS Message without any wrongs... anyone else know about this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slikgman:
I'm not sure but I think what your asking is in Android 1.6 check out the link below and you should see voice action start at 1:05 in the video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBRFkLKRwFw&feature=player_embedded#

Hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nofowuw:
Thank you, thats exactly what I was looking for :D

However only one part.. You know of a app that types what you say in like SMS and other textfields?(Or is this embedded with Android 1,6?)

When is the 1,6 release anyway?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] JBNAquatics:
1.6 is already out. We're waiting for someone to cook the ROM to be use in the Hero. The Sprint HTC Hero comes with 1.6.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nofowuw:
Ohh cool, so there could be a matter of days untill the hero gets it? :D

Btw, what is "Sprint HTC Hero"?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] jpalo:
HTC Hero provided by Sprint (cell network provider).
