[Hero, G2 Touch General] rstoya05:
I called HTC and they had me try through various things:

Try all USB ports

Try another computer

Hard reboot - press and hold the call, menu, and power buttons

Complete restore - Home/Menu/Settings/Security/Factory Data Reset

None of it helped. Finally they asked me to try another USB cable. Fortunately I had one from a camera that happens to be exactly the same. An wouldn't you know it? Using a different cable allowed me to connect.

They confirmed the phone was originally purchased in the Czech republic and for a bit I suspected some international incompatibility but I think it's just a faulty cable. Not something you'd expect from a relatively new phone.

Hope this helps someone else.

I got it... I installed a new set of task bar icons and the correct wheel came back. My guess is one of the previous task bar icon sets I installed came from an older version of icons and the wheel came along for the ride. None-the-less, it is back.

[Touch Pro CDMA] Happy man:
First of all, I will start by mentioning that this is my third Touch Pro from Sprint and I just want to confirm something before I take back to the store.

Is there anyone else who updated to the newest official firmware and have problems with your video playback from your albums. I had some videos stored from my old phone on a sd, and when I try to play it on this phone, it would cause a lot of jagging, freezes, audio playing while video is not. I then recorded a video with the camcorder and when I went to play back, it did the same thing. The settings I have it in is in

-CIF 352x288

-MPEG4

If its the phone, then I'm glad because I can go get myself the Touch Pro 2 at the store for free.

Things to note,

-had no problem like this on the 2nd phone

-upgraded the firmware as soon as I got home with this phone

-been like this for a while, just never cared to get an answer until now

Any feedback to a similar problem or non-exsisting problem would be greatly appreciated.
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Look, if your ultimate goal is to get a free TP2, then just tell them that the phone gets unholy hot or some defect from the phone itself (battery lasting less than half a day with moderate use, etc). Believe me that the TP from Sprint has a bunch of those... If you start going by software, believe me that they will find a way to either fix it or convince you that it can be fixed with an update...
[Touch Pro CDMA] Gxtsoldier:
were you getting a free tp2 due to these issues?? Because im having the same issues as well including that my battery gets extremely hot and will not charge
[Touch Pro CDMA] eXplicit815:
I'm curious about this myself. I was gonna get a Hero in a couple of months when my contract is up, but if I get a TP2, I might hold out for a little while.
[Touch Pro CDMA] Happy man:
There is a list somewhere that after a certain date, if your phone is with in the manufacture warranty of 1 year, and you have insurance of both types with sprint, you can switch out the phone to a list of 10 other phones, the TP2 and the hero being among those.

Still a sure answer on this would be great. Thanks egz on some insight. And gxt, you mean you are having problems with video playback too?
[Touch Pro CDMA] Happy man:
So I think I'll be going to the sprint store tomorrow, I'll let you guys know how it goes, unless I don't go that is.
[Touch Pro CDMA] mrjeancw:
im guessing you didnt go...?
[Touch Pro CDMA] sherm420:
What insurance do you have to have? Where is this list?

My 2nd tp just crapped out on me and insurance just sent me a "new" one.

[Touch Pro CDMA] Happy man:
Hello everybody(insert simpsons joke here), it looks like i finally went to the sprint store. After what seems like a lifetime ago, i told them the problems I had, they said they would do a hard reset, and to come back in an hour. An hour and a half later and I will be getting mnyself a touch pro 2 soon. Now the only bad part is that i need to call this store to find out when they would have any touch pro 2's in their warehouses. So at least for now, I am assed out, oh and forgive me if this comes off as bad grammer, I am typing this from my touch pro 1, the screen is too small. :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] acebone:
It does not come with the latest .NET!

The "honeycomb" start menu is a display of idiocy gone rampant

No apparent way of altering icon-size

send to top - send down only options for arranging icons

send down only sends to where icon used to be

send to top sends ALL the way - an item in a folder is not sent to top of folder but to the very top!

Too big icons, with any "not small" amount of apps, prepare for thumb-sore, coz you'll be spending a LOT of time scrolling to get to something at the bottom

Titanium - it's ugly, and when you go to Today->Elements, it has no configuration options, honestly I couldn't be bothered to check it out further.

HTC aren't too bright either....

Thank God for

wkTask (which btw causes the honey-comb to stop working after some time - who cares?)

iPhonetoday - here's the deal: Apple has a good UI idea - steal it! But noooo we need to do our own stuff - HTC Sense (is there any) - Titanium (I had one look at it - it is ugly)

HD Tweak - fixing the poo

TouchPal - now THAT's how you go about making a keyboard , HTC I'm looking at you, MS you're not even in the class!

Opera, a decent browser YAH, too bad that HTC bungles it by integrating it an idiotic way.

OPERA default reg - one man hero fixes BigCorps poo

this list needs to be longer, I am just too tired from spending a whole day upgrading and the subsequent puking and the ongoing "get stuff back to sanity" procedure

Amazing that one-man armies like the guys who did most of this stuff, individually are brighter, smarter and more clever than the combined MS collective or the drones at HTC

Go somewhere else to troll.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] niko_slo:
then stick with 6.1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] acebone:
I'm not trolling - and if you think it is trolling, why do you repeat the whole shebang?

And no I wont stick with 6.1, why should i? I never said 6.1 was better than 6.5. In fact I think that 6.1 is crappier than 6.5.

IT JUST SO HAPPENS that I am the owner of a Topaz, I had to go windows mobile due to Exchange at work.

Gotta say this though - Battery-life with 6.5 is amazing COMPARED to 6.1. It's right up there where it is supposed to be.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Drag-On:
you didn't need to quote his whole post...that's trolling in itself isn't it?

also, i don't see it as trolling. I got a very handy tip for a new keyboard i'm going to check out. (Thanks, acebone)

So i'm taking this to be WM6.5 stock? and not some cooked ROM? interesting...what battery life are you getting currently on average?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] opensea:
Yes. He's right and not trolling. I'm disappointed with thw new official rom too and after a day i flashed a cooked rom.

I must say after testing the official rom for cuple of hours i flasht the cooked rom again. Now I hope that the chiefs will improve the speed of the roms

I am using the stock Rom Danish ROM.

About the battery life, I am not so sure that I was right. I watched today as percentages just dropped away....

It just seemed to go on and on yesterday....

And yes - check out the TouchPal keyboard. The better your language-pack for the keyboard - the better it works.

titanium

to be honest i think i am the only person here who actually likes the windows default one lol

i cant get the weather app to work on it though, so i need to play around

and i have found that 6.5 is faster than 6.1 by a good 10% if not more, also my battery life easily lasts a day, where as before it would make it just to the end of my working day rather than my whole day

but yeah the honey comb, move to very top is a bit smegged, as i would prefere to place things where i wanted them,
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] munrobasher:
My battery life certainly feels much better. I've been messing about with WM 6.5 for about an hour. In the past, my battery would have taken a hammering. So far, it's at 80%!! That's *way* better.

I like it - it's so much more responsive. Okay, so it's not a radical change and there are still far too many "non-touch-screened" applications in there that means you still need to get the stylus out.

But for nothing, I'm happy - so far!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] acebone:
What I really meant is this:

The user interface in WM is OOOOOOOLD - anyone who has seen an iPhone or and Android phone knows this.

MS knows this

HTC knows this (and have jumped the Android Bandwaggon)

WM 6.5 is a joke, because it tries to convey the idea that WM is ALSO about new intuitive fingerfriendly interfaces - and what does it have to show for it? Well 'honeycomb' which might be a nice idea, only it's implemented so stupidly that it is a joke.

Titanium also - is a joke. Eyecandy with no real benefit in my opinion. And btw. it's no candy to my eyes - more like cabbage

Now some may like HTC Tou... ooops its HTC Sense now - and it is better in my opinion than titanium, but it's just not good enough.

Actually my boss explained it to me this way:

Acebone, you see the diamond2 as a computer that can also make calls, but most people see it as a phone that can also do documents and calendar

He might be right, I just don't think that WM6.5 or Sense is good enough, that's why I spend ours installing and configuring wkTask, iPhone Today, TouchPad (commercial) etc...

With these often FREE and often ONE-MAN produced tools, I am able to put together a user-interface that is

Easier to navigate

Requires fewer clicks

Takes up less memory

Reacts more quickly with less errors
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] edoftech:
the thing here is yeah its not finger freindly as android of iphone, however it has a huge range of apps behind it which have been working for ages and will still work on for a while yet, the os is old however it is that great to adapt, there are that many different type of ui that can be installed over the top, to make it suitable for people that want things their own way, android, is great, however after using it more any lenght of time, it becomes a bore, its only really a gimick rather than a work phone, which is what windows has always been aimed at,

iphone, and android are only half a phone, and expect users to buy the features that they want the phone to do, where as with windows you get a working phone, from the time, you turn it on
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] genoki:
WM 6.5 doesn't work with old software?

Unless I have some odd problem, my Touch Diamond 2 on which i just reflashed ROM with WM 6.5 is not recognizing the entire screen in some software. It seems like the ssoftware screen goes below the bottom of the physical screen.

Also, the TouchFlo appears to be inhibiting the touch features of screen in expand/contract +/- menus.

- Email when you choose folder the expand/contract +/- menus don't respond with one press, but require a sustained hold before they expand/contract.

Some software is is not happy in WM 6.5:

- PHM RegEdit is not happy in WM 6.5 I have to hold registry keys for long time to select them and the + - to expand/collapse keys aren't working properly. I have to hold, then i have to tap the menu bar on bottom to get them to expand/collapse. Really weird. Also, the input keyboard also needs to be held long time to popup. It seems like the ssoftware screen goes below the bottom of the physical screen. Very strange.

- I noticed similar issues in WM 6.5 with Advanced Configuration Tool by Julien Schapman. It seems like the ssoftware screen goes below the bottom of the physical screen. Selecting +/- menus requires sustained selection of folder, then i have to tap the menu bar on bottom to get them to expand/collapse. Really weird.

I wonder if these are .NET issues with older software or something like that?

Also, is anyone else noticing the new TouchFlow finger swipe direction is reversed from before? For example, in Email and PIE you have to swipe finger down to make page scroll up. Before you swiped finger up to make page scroll up! its different and is taking some getting used to. Its counterintuitive!

I am too am seriously thnking of going back to 6.1 .. now if I can just figure out how to do that ..... (anyone?)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] edoftech:
sounds like an issue to me with the software, try and reflash it, im not getting any of those issue, but i haven't used touch flo/sense for that long
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] genoki:
it was something I installed

I did some experimenting adding software one at a time after fresh ROM flash.

Looks like "Zoom Bar & Scroll" is the culprit ...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=518367

Too bad bc this was a great little tool .. it worked beautifully in WM 6.1. BUt in 6.5 it screws up +/- expand collapse of menus (eg in Email, or PHM Regedit, etc) and also appears to reverse the scroll inside PIE, Email, and other windows.

I'll leave the same message on the Zoom Bar & Scroll thread to let the developer know.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] edoftech:
6.1

if you are wanting to go back to 6.1 i still have the stock rom saved on my hard drive incase i needed it
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Thom4s:
Touchflo looks nice but requires too much 'clicks', same for the Titanium interface.

Titanium would probably be better then Touchflo when the default winmo interface would also be made more touchfriendly.

The 'favourite contacts' tab on touchflo is perfect example: I never use it. The only time I use it is to go to 'more contacts'. I don't have favourites, I call and message a lot to everybody.

Pictures likewise, I have so many pictures it takes waaaay too long to sue that sliding interface, the only time I use the tab is to go to album.

Perfect would be titanium with pictures linking to htc album and contacts linking to htc contacts (and not standard winmo) etc... that would be the best for me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Techitrucker:
IF you where thinking about buying the Invisible Shield for your TP2 I would suggest you be very careful. This company makes a crap product for our device and their warranty is apparently worthless. Here is my post to their Facebook page which I am sure will be gone as quickly as someone see's it there:

Your company is unethical. First your kiosk puts the wrong shield on my device, then you charge my card for the honor of getting a warranty replacement that I had already paid extra to have installed on my device to reinstall myself and then you take 2 weeks to get the new shield to me. I send the old shield back the SAME day I received the new one and you still charge me $25 bucks today for the replacement saying I did not get the old one back to you in time. YOUR WARRANTY IS DESIGNED TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM USING IT. I will never buy one of your products ever again. I will also make sure that I post this wherever I see someone is asking about your product to make sure no one else makes the same mistake. The so called proper shield you sent for my device does not even cover the most vulnerable parts of the device so in the end I paid $60 for a piece of vinyl that will not even fully protect the device. What a waste.

I have never had these problems with the Ghost Armor I have put on other devices and they actually honor their warranty. Learn from my mistake and avoid these people. If you have this product and like it, that is fine but don't be making snarky remarks on this post. This is merely informational to warn other people of my experience.

-1 for Inv. shield man.

For me, I ordered mine from the Bodyguardz.

Their customer service is great.

First order gone missing, sent new replacement rightaway.

Thanks for sharing mate. : )
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] fincan:
I bought several Inv. shields before for my digital camera, mp3 player, old TyTnII etc. and used warranty exchange once without hassles, but what I found out is, they consistently cut protectors a little small, meaning half to one milimeter off on the screen, which annoys me since it costs 20+ dollars.

This time I bought it from BodyGuardz, we'll see how it turns out (did not receive them yet)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Techitrucker:
I think will try the Wrapsol next myself. Looking at the kit they have for the Tmobile version, coverage is excellent and there should be no more skippy finger on the screen or orange peel with it. Does not look like it is made out of the helicopter blade vinyl like all the other ones so it probably gets damaged itself more easily but should protect the phone. Anything bad enough to damage any kind of thin wrap all the way through is going to break the phone anyways whether the wrap is there or not. They are just there to stop scratches and such. Looks like their lifetime warranty does not require you to jump through hoops to get a replacement. I emailed customer service and they told me about the warranty and that they should have a Verizon wrap pretty quick.

armor?

Had my 1st ghost armor experience yesterday. Long story shortened-difficult to apply with any degree of perfection (screen only!) Ultimately removed it-will try warrantying & trying again. Not too optimistic though, as when it was on I felt there was an unacceptable degree of "rainbow patterning". What good is any armor if it distorts the view of such an elegant screen?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] BeEazy10:
I never had that problem before. I order the Zagg shield full body for my ipod touch and after a while the corner to pilling off. I call customer service and with-en five, ten mins they charge my account 4 bucks for a new shield.

Basically what im trying to say... is that you got owned... and on top of that ur not even happy with the product

Hello,

I have an X1i with software version R1AA017, Generic_UK.

I have read that there is an official SE upgrade named R3A.

I would like to know what was your experience with this upgrade, if it was worth of doing it, what benefits did you get, and how "safe" was the procedure (I don´t wont to brick my X1!).

Thank you!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harveydent:
"safest" procedure would be to use SEUS.

And yes, R3A is a big upgrade from your R1A.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Upgrading firmware is a lot of work because you have to reinstall everything from scratch.

Can someone tell me which advantages / fixes could I expect if upgrading to R3A??

I want to see if it is worth the effort...

Thank you very much.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonus:
Wow, its been a while since being on R1A, but as far as I can recall you gain:

1. Better battery life

2. Better reception

3. Improved panel manager response and stability

4. Improved camera menu system response

You lose

1. Compatibility with the HTC Youtube App that's posted on here (no longer do you get rapidly streaming high quality, instead it pauses and buffers ALL the time)

2. You lose smooth scrolling with the optical joystick in Opera, instead the screen jumps as you scroll with the optical joystick (finger scrolling is still fine though).

That's all I can remember. Unfortunately, as far as I know, SE never put out release notes for any of its firmware upgrades.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paggps:
Thank you very much.

I think it´s worth the upgrade!

I will do it in the next weeks using SEUS, which was pointed as the safest method.
