The dialer problem is in my ROM. I'm sure you could install another dialer from somewhere and it would work.

The closing programs with X problem is an issue with all the newer build ROM's. HTC hasn't updated their task manager yet so it doesn't work and Showcase which is included works for the most part but apparently it has issues also with not closing sometimes and hanging when closing messaging app.

Simply not having a working task manager that will close when hitting X is one of the main reasons why I don't use the newer builds now.

Hello!

I'm using 23420 with Phone Canvas 4.0.52619.

I have an issue with EzInput with messenger. When I try to type a sender's name I see the predictive box and the EzInput predictive box. It's a little bit annoying.

Is it possible to have EzInput 2.1 with language packs in your next ROM? Or is it possible to have the default windows keyboard so we can install the one we wish later?

Also, I have another issue with the hardware keyboard, I can't get to work the shift key neither the fn + space combo to cycle throught characters.

I'd get WiFi working enabling DHCP in my network router.

You did a great job,

Thank you!!

Change Battery & Hang when First Power On & Not Sufficient memory for Flash Contents

Now I've been using this ROM for more than a month. Two more regular interesting problems:

1. For 9 in 10 times after I change battery, my phone will hang during first power on. Soft-reset it once will most probably OK, rarely it needs another immediate soft-reset.

2. Browsing website with flash contents (not flash video) by IE, almost 10 out of 10 will display something like (not sufficient memory to run flash ...) Any solution? Whenever such message displays, I'm sure only IE is running, no other program ever open.

Thanks

I just put you'er "Titanium 23420 2g" onto my poor old Hermes, and bloody hell its a breath of fresh air!

Very responsive, no problems, and I love the new UI updates. (also Titanium runs smoooooth for me)

Amazing work, considering this is a old 400mhz ARM11 with basically no GPU.

Edit: seems i am using 20% battery a day about with some minor messing around, not bad considering my battery is junk.

can u plz help me

i have an htc s620 running bt rom supplied by bt, the thing is i was jogging and had my phone in my hand. i accidently dropped it andnow the screen on it is white when u turn the phone is on. the phone is still functional though. i can recieve / make calls.

does anybody no wat to do.

the screen is not cracked
[HTC Excalibur] 117micc:
u might have knock lose the lcd screen inside. u might jus have to replace the lcd screen. u can find them cheap online. took me 20mins to change out mine.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
I'd phone BT and ask for a replacement you are covered as long as you don't say what you did, especially if still within the 18 month contract or renewed, if a problem with the customer service reps then the C.E.O would be best bet as if push top they tend to deal with things.

Contact detail for CEO can be found on BT Anywhere Forum

If not under contract then there is a guide for replaceing screen in the sticky, i'd check the wires are not loose first.

Spose you already tried a hard-reset probably wont help but worth a try.
[HTC Excalibur] ehsan371:
thanx

thanx you's 2 especially stylez for phoning bt just for me i'll try to phone thena a.s.a.p.

thanx again
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Didn't phone them, just used to BT ways of working as an ex customer, try and keep the convo just to the point of need a replacement due to a white screen give no more info apart from just noticed it, they should just send out a new one :)

Good luck.

Dear forum users,

I'm a happy user WM6.5 with TF3D 2.1. The weather at my location is updated nicely, however there's 1 issue I don't understand:

When I look at my home screen it still says 'My Location' instead of the city name where I live in (Ho Chi Minh city)...this is different from many screenshot I've seen on this forum where weather forecast city names are displayed nicely on home screen.

does anyone have an idea how I could fix this?

Thanks in advance for any ideas/support.

Best regards,

Nghia
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Cocytan:
Hi there,

I'm having exactly the same problem. The weather tab just stays at 'My location', as does the home tab. I've manually added the city I live in to display the weather, but I'd like to know how to get the phone to automatically detect it. Any help?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] a042349:
I had this problem too and tried lots of fixes I read about here and none of them worked. Then I tried going into my phone settings and changing my phone from "auto" in the Network field to "manual" and then selecting T-Mobile. I'm thinking it was finding AT&T and not being able to determine my location.

Settings>Personal>Phone>Network>Network Selection

After doing this and restarting the phone (airplane mode on/off) it detected "My Location" on the weather tab and then on the clock. I'm in SW Florida and am new to T-mo so i don't know if this will have any undesirable effects.

Not sure if this will affect my roaming, but I don't really roam much so I should be ok. See if it works for you guys.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] conket:
Hi cocytan,

Could you tell me how to add city manually? My city is not listed in weather list of my phone. I have att, touch2 came from tmo unlock. When I try to update, it said something about not able to connect to dns and web2go.

Thanks.

Same problem here with Blackstone ROM

RUU_Dutty's_HD_WM6.5_5.2.23016.5.0.3_Leo_R5.zip

Update Radio to

Can't get My Location to work...:mad:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] a042349:
Did you guys try my tip of manually selecting your mobile carrier in settings>phone>network and set it to manual and then select your carrier? I tried everything before this, and it's worked on every ROM I tried it on.

You can always set it back to automatic if it doesn't work or impacts your roaming.

I'm just curious if others see this fix working, then maybe we can collectively figure out why it's happening to us (is it location, carriers, ROM versions, etc.)

-Joel
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
Hi a042349,

manually selecting the carrier didn't work for me.

But I read somewhere else that it could work when you enable Wifi.

Doesn't need to be connected, just enabling should do the trick.

And it worked for me! :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] a042349:
I tried the wifi trick and it didn't work for me. All my testing was done at my house with only my wifi in range (I live in the country) and it didn't matter if I was using it or not - no MyLocation data until I manually selected T-Mobile.

I'm on T-Mobile in Cape Coral FL - are you on Tmo too? Did you try driving around to pick up different cell towers? As I said all my testing has been at hoime, so not a lot of "variety" in what it could pick up over the air.

-Joel
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
Hi Joel,

I am on T-Mobile, but it's over here in Germany...

I didn't try different cell towers.

Looks like you have to try both, when encoutering the problem.

Is anyone here who tried both and it still didn't work?

i tried all of your suggestions but nothing helped :( it worked one time but since then ...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] karandras24:
Gotta say i've only ever had it working once, and even then it was very inaccurate (brought up somewhere about 20 miles away).

I've tried every radio, manual network selection, turning 3g off, i also had to add my own town into the database and nothing works.

Using google maps with wifi, 3g, grps it finds my location to with in 500 metres, with gps it's spot on, so i know that aspect of it works.

However using the weather my location, it rotates between 3 different locations (One is about 1 mile away and the other 2 are about 5 miles away). It'll bring up the name, but always gives me the "There was a connection error while attempting to download weather data. Retry?" message.

so i'm at a loss as to how to get this working.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] osrix:
My location is working for me, i'm using the tmob radio(not the one in my sig but it worked with that one too) its showing a village about a mile from me, and the same on my wifes Hero-Stock ROM. all ive done is load latest Google maps and wait for it to find my location then exit, go to weather tab and select download weather automatically then back, a screen appears to accept google data download, accept then it works,

it seems my location is only as accurate as google maps as it uses the tower positions around you to triangulate you approximate position, when i'm in a town or city it shows that place. i dunno what else to suggest changing my radio helped. i'm not using 3g, maybe that helps?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
Interesting

Which setting for syslang would I have to use?

I am in Germany, but my Windows Mobile is English.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] karandras24:
I've tried doing everything the same as above and no dice.

Like i said google maps my location feature is pretty accurate for me.

Using google maps with wifi, 3g, grps it finds my location to with in 500 metres, with gps it's spot on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] osrix:
Sorry i can't help any further..its weird, i'm running At0ms 3.7 but i'm sure it also worked for me on previous builds,

i think on earlier builds i had to also switch data connection on in comms so it stays on - Actually i think this might be be key as i think My Location has trouble calling the data connection which is where your error message is coming from. i hope it works for you.

As you're on Vodafone you could try this reg setting for Agps i don't think it will make any difference but it may do..if nothing else there good settings! :D
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] karandras24:
yeah it worked on fusion 3.5 but hasn't worked for me on any other rom.

TVM for the reg settings, i'll give them a whirl.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DotNetDev:
I a running shadowline's 23064 build with 2.5.19133431. I was unable to get the location stuff working as well. I turned on all the location settings through SenseUI, but no go. I enabled Assisted GPS through Advanced Config (not sure if that is relevant). Still no go. I allowed my phone to connect up to my home WiFi, and instantly, it recognized my location as Seattle. :)

Not sure if it will work for others, but it worked for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
That worked for me at my home in Germany.

Now I am in Italy on holidays.

Same infrastructure here. Working WiFi, too.

But it doesn't do the trick here.

My phone still thinks my location is Germany and any updates just fail.

Think, I am giving up with this build.:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] maplebank:
I originally installed the stock Vodafone upgrade yesterday and it showed my location right away, not the actual town but my area (Argyll & Bute).

However, still wasn't impressed with the standard Vodafone red branding so swapped it for the official HTC WWE version and no matter how much I tried it would only display " My Location".

Strangely though, today, some 24 hours after the install it's suddenly now corrected itself and is now showing the same as the Vodafone version did?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] GordonTGopher:
I had a problem where the location (which had been working) reverted to "My Location". Backtracking through the tweaks I'd made, I discovered that enabling "use network values for time sync" had broken it. HTH

Gordon
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] maplebank:
Having said mine was working it has also now reverted back to "My Location" :mad:

Where is that setting that you changed?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] frogfoot:
Where did you change this setting?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
Maybe this might be a solution (worked for me): tap on the clock and tick add (your) location to the list and set it as default. This should do the trick.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
How do I set a location as default?

TIA
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] kuzibri:
clicking on the clock shows a list of available locations, e.g. Paris-New York-Berlin. Just click/tap the white dot before the location you want and the dot turns green and then that is your default location.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
I see. Thanks!

That works for me, too. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] rob_p:
If you Select a particular location, it will always show weather and time for that location, not your current location.

The impression that I get is that some cell towers work with the location service and others don't...

When I'm at home, My location picks up either of the two towers near me and works perfectly. When I'm at work, it never works correctly, and if I try to update weather, it says there's a connection error. Then at my parents, again it works fine.

So my take on it is that certain cell towers do not give the correct place name or location data, or they give data that's simply not in the weather system, and this is what causes the error. Hence why it seems to work sometimes and not others - it just depends what cell tower you're bouncing off at the time.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] fleischer.it:
Sounds reasonable to me, rob_p.

My location won't be updated automatically with this workaround, but at least I can influence what's being displayed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] arealityfarbetween:
Definitely agree with rob_p on this one, tried several different roms (currently gen.y d2 r4.1B) and same issue when going away from home, and sometimes same issue occurs at home too.

Don't think it has anything at all to do with extra installed software, did a rom flash earlier (unfortunately had tachi dialer, wanted rhodium) and the feature worked fine for about 3 updates before the error started to occur again...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] catavencu:
Yes, that's correct

I have tried almost everything without results. Then I've tried to turn on the wireless connection and data connection. After that, in several minutes, I was happy to see that My Location / Weather was working. Good luck to you, all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BrianC0000:
I agree (and disagree) with many of the suggestions here - but before blaming cell towers, understand that most of us experiencing the HTC My Location problems can get the Location Service in Google Maps and in MS Bing (formerly Live Search) to work just fine - and these use the very same technology to determine your location...

Since the HTC disclaimer clearly states that it is using Google's location services, why would it not work in Manilla but still work in Google Maps??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] dkb218:
It's the Radio Rom

The only way I was able to get My Location to work was by changing the Radio Rom to 4.49.25.17. Works for a lot of people here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=549939
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] BrianC0000:
Sure enough... it works just fine on a Tilt2 on AT&T in Southern California with that 4.49.25.17 T-Mo radio...

I still don't get it and would LOVE for someone to explain the technological reason behind this - but let it be said that it definitely works now with the configuration detailed above.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] judicious:
so it worked for me...select the clock, then set a location, if it's not there, add a city, make sure it's the green dot when selected, and My Location will update. I'm on ATT TILT 2 on Fusion V5.2 ROM
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bujucito:
It´s very simple, you must touch the clock in the home screen and select your city.

that´s all.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] vagelis:
That's *exactly* the solution :)

4.49.25.17 was the only one that's upgraded enough in functionality to allow 'My Location' to work with cell towers.

Microsoft 6000 How-to?

I cannot get either my Logitech Dinovo Edge or my Microsoft 6000 to pair with my TD2. I thought it might be a ROM issue so I tried about ten different ROMs including the shipped Telstra ROM (my phone is from Telstra), a shipped T-Mobile ROM and a bunch of cooked ROMs (thanks chefs) and none of them worked. It would recognise the KB and show it in the list of devices but always as "disconnected".

So, I am keen to hear how you made the MS 6000 work with the TD2.

(BTW I have had no trouble pairing my Dinovo with a Nokia E51 and my MS6000 with an Apple TV in addition to their usual PCs so I do not think the keyboards are the problem).

Update: I have just installed Dutty's latest Holy Grail ROM [Duttys Topaz Sense 2.5 Holy Grail R9 |WWE|

Based Rom 2.53 ( CE OS Build 5.2.21891 & 5.23534 )] and I can now connect my DiNovo Edge keyboard. Thanks Dutty.
[G1 Apps and Games] davidemartindale:
Ok, it can't quite be universal Star Trek style, but it seems to me to be somewhat plausible based on my admittedly limited knowledge of the components involved.

Android is capable of voice recognition and text to speech... can that be tied into something like the Babelfish engine?

Let's say I'm visiting Belgium. Basically, I speak into my phone in English. Speech recognition turns that into text and sends it off to Babelfish for translation to French. The French text returns from Babelfish to the phone. Text to speech then turns that into spoken French for the Belgian shopkeeper to hear. His reply goes through a reverse process for me to hear in English.

Now, text to speech, speech recognition, and Babelfsh are all far from perfect and having multiple passes through them may just lead to incomprehensible crazytalk about Space Squids instead of my baguette question, but I thought the idea was worth at least throwing out there for the community to roll around in their collective minds.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BDBMX:
Ive ended up with stupid issue here, basically I replaced my digitizer with a cheap ebay one and made a mess of it, so now my touchscreen doesnt work. Ive been ok with that until today I flashed the rom to unlock the phone and the first screen pops up with "Please tap the screen to set up your device" or something similar. Thats something I cant physically do so if anyone knows a way around that I would LOVE to hear it :rolleyes:

Cheers.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] alfnsdth:
Not yet

People will recommend using tools such as mymobiler and such, that enable you to connect to your device over the PC using activesync.

It does work, for the first tap only. The screen alignment after that is where you are boned, I find myself in the same situation.

Try researching for registry keys that can be modified, as programs like Soti's Pocketpro will allow you to modify registry keys. I'll post if I find anything similar.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
search for and read about "welcome.not". the idea is to create a blank file named "welcome.not" on your storage card so the phone chooses to skip the screen alignment wizard on first boot up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] afn691:
The "solution" may be:

Try flashing one of Witschey's ROMs, because he does not include neither screen alignment nor apps setup in the ROM, so that you'll access the device after flashing, no need to soft-reset nor anything.

The question is, what are you going to do if you can't touch the screen ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BDBMX:
Well, i can do a few things that I need with it. Use it as a phone for a start ;)

I get a free upgrade soon so Ill go with the hero or an iphone but until then I will need a phone and an mp3 player. You can still kind of use google maps even for GPS its just tricky. I did manage my way around London with it lol.

Thanks for the tips anyway guys, Ive tried deleting the welcome file already today but the device kind of locks after that in that you cant really see any icons, even tried 2 roms with it. I will give that Witschey ROM a go though that sounds like it could be the answer to this.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] alfnsdth:
welcome.not

Welcome.not file worked for me, but I did not put in on a SD card, just in the root of the device after MS does activesync.

My computer<device<double click<paste

Took the battery out, turned it on, presto.

Thanks for that!!

No need to reflash, was cool.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BDBMX:
Well I tried a Witschey ROM and its working great! Thank you afn961 for that one. It runs very fast indeed as well compared to the stock T-mobile WM6 I had on there. Only issue I have now is that I cant access some menus without the touchscreen, worst one being the running programs menu so stuff just stays open. Cant win em all though.
