[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] a2002cmacg:
I want to keep the messages threaded, but I also want the ability to mark a thread as unread (similar to the way my old treo functioned). Is that asking too much or for the impossible? I mean, the menu option is there, but you just can't select it. I've looked throughout the registry and haven't been able to locate the entry that would enable those missing features.

*Sigh*

I figure there must be a way to get rid of the duplicity of the messaging applications. I like the Manila messaging tab, but HTC's actual text messaging interface, IMHO is pretty crappy, not to mention very redundant. Getting rid of the HTC messaging interface would be a good start for me...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] trusa1:
Unfortunately, option to "mark as unread" a not supported when threaded messages is activated.

This is a limitation imposed by the OS API and there is no way around it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] a2002cmacg:
:-( Thanks for the info. I'll stop wasting my time looking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jstarosa:
Thanks so much....the cab worked for me. Whew, and I was about to return my phone too...THANK GOD!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] LTS666:
It didnt work for me either. I copied the file into my phone and installed but I dont have any new option for handwriting.

Could it make a difference if I have swedish and I downloaded it from US?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Tormy:
I have an European HTC Touch Pro 2 and installed the update through the official site, could not select "Treanscribe". After installing the .cab-file offered here I now can select "Transcribe" as an input option. It works, but I'd like to calibrate it. Upon first use I could see parts of an intro emerge on screen, but partially hidden behind an SMS I was writing.

Anyone know how to bring back that menu/intro? I'd like this handwriting app to recognise norwegian letters like æ, ø and å, otherwise it's of little use to me.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ScottSNX:
I was having problems with this hotfix as well. Problem was, when I went to install it I got an "unsupported device" error too. So I edited the XML and made a CAB.

It enables the Block Recognizer and Letter Recognizer options now.

Hope this helps people out, I spent the better part of an afternoon looking for a fix and couldn't find one.

I'm on WinMo 6.5 Sprint TP2 with Neodium custom rom BTW.

Looooong time lurker, first time poster. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] amtom37:
THANK YOU!!!

:D

I have been going crazy without this! Thank you everyone!

This site is soooo helpful!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Raymond867:
Back to normal handwriting capabilities again!!!

I was soooo surprised when I saw that the ROM update for WinMo 6.5 made my HTC TP2 lose it's handwriting ability. The "hotfix" posted to correct this on HTC's support site would not install apparently because my ROM was too new - go figure.

So THANK YOU to ScottSNX and anyone else who worked on this fix that added the ability back into my device!

This hotfix will work in the US and give you handwriting and other input methods.

Thanks SCOTT!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] awalt:
The UK site under support has an update to the ROM from 3-18-2010, does this apply to AT&T TP2 phones as well? I did not see it when I picked USA as country and Tilt 2 (AT&T) as phone...

Scott's Transcriber fix works perfectly with my Sprint HTC Pro 2. Thanks Scott for your brilliant programming, countering the imbeciles who removed Transcriber from WM 6.5.

It took me a long time to find it: htc touch pro2_rho09076.cab. You can find it on PPCGeeks, but you will need to register first on their website. Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ddk2:
Thanks heaps ScottSNX and others.

I'm in New Zealand using local Telco version of Touch 2, WM6.5.

The supplied cab installed no probs and works like a charm, Transcriber now showing up in the list of available input options.

:) :) :)

ps. there has been some comments regarding where to find the cab. See post 28 from ScottSNX in this thread, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5855683&postcount=28
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] IT_Architect:
I must be missing something. I have a Sprint Touch Pro2 with factory stock 6.5 ROM. Unlike the one on the HTC site, this one will install without informing me it is not for this device. However, after install, I don't see anyway I can use handwriting recognition. It's not available from the arrow next to the soft keyboard, there is no Other, and I've tried threaded messages on and off. What am I missing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ddk2:
IT_Architect, I seem to have pretty much the same device as you. I installed the patch, did a soft reset, and it just turns up now in the list of inputs when you tap the arrow.

Sorry, can't help as to why its not there, but FYI, when I tap the inputs arrow I get a context menu with:

Text Input Settings, English, line, Phone Keypad, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, Transcriber (**this is new), line, Other Input Methods (don't know if that was there before) which opens to submenu with Transcriber, Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] IT_Architect:
This one would not work no matter what I did. However, this one worked right out of the box:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/htc-touch...pro2-handwriting-recognition-winmo-6-5-a.html

"htc touch pro2_rho09076.cab"

So I went with that.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] kazkhan:
Basically this is my problem.

On my XDA Guide, on touchflow, there is a weather section and when ever you accidentally go over it, 3G kicks in and updates it and costs me a hefty some every time i do this. There are other times when 3G kicks in. so eventually i turned this off correctly how ever when i was trying to overcome this problem, for some idiotic reason i went to connections, and deleted all of the profiles, i.e the cellular network, the other cellular network (3G & GPRS) etc.. And ever since that i cant make calls or recieve texts. My sim is VIRGIN at the moment. when i try to make a call all i get is 3 beeps. and the call ends. Any ideas on how to fix this PLEASE!! :(

i remade all the profiles i deleted (i think) so i dont understand why. Perhaps this isnt the reason for it not working? i dont know :(

Once linked it should suggest matches on the 3rd tab of "All People", or you match people 1 at a time from their contact in HTC people.

i dont think you have to if your files are mp3 or wav or wma. just direct your music folder in s2p. as for album covers. you might need to rename them to folder.jgp

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
I decided that lugging both my ipod and phone around was silly so I copied everything off my ipod onto my Hero and thus far it has been fine. That is until it hit one song, upon that song the Hero played the first 3 seconds then went silent and rebooted, I tried playing the song again and the same thing happens. So I pull the song and continue playing through the songs and sure as **** it happens again on another song from the same album(music is on random), so I try to play others from that album and they all cause the phone to crash.

So does the Hero have some sort of encoding restriction like no 192 bitrate songs? These songs play fine on my ipod, in itunes, and on winamp, the album is all 192 bitrate that I burned off a CD back in the early 2000's with winamp, I do not have the CD any more(thief jacked my CD holder with 90ish CD's in it a few years ago), I checked itunes but nothing by the group is on there.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] atoy74:
I have songs as high as 320kbs and they play fine. I suggest getting dbpoweramp (or something similar) and re-convert it. Might just be something wrong with a 9+ year old file.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] codelockdown:
yea hes right try that, bc files, just like humans can actually get old with age, unless you keep transferring them to a newer hard drive
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Nanan00:
So it is of your thinking that of that album 7 files are corrupt but none of the other 18XX songs that came off of my ipod from stuff that is both newer and older were affected?

I will try a re-encode tonight to see if that helps, though I am not exactly sure what needs to change...
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mkhopper:
Since you mention that the only tracks that are crashing the phone are all from a particular artist / CD, the only thing I can think of is that there's possibly something really weird in the ID2/3 tags that the player can't handle.

You'd be surprised by how often a stray ascii control code character can mess things up if an application isn't designed to deal with them.

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Acorns:
Sense 2.1 won't, it uses a registry list of installed programs. Without going back to 2.1 and looking again, couldn't tell you where it is to edit it. Sense 2.5 will, no problem; Juicy R5 or R6 is probably best for CDMA.
[HD2 General] immyl:
I have had the HD2 for a week now and as much as i love it, i am leaning towards returning it for the simple reason that it has windows underneath the hood.

I have had so many problems with trying to keep the data connection alive and setting up synchronisation etc - how i wish this phone had Android-like always on possibilities!

i downloaded the skyfire browser today and was blown away by its ability, but no so much when it tells me you dont have a data connection regularly!

i am sad sad sad today because when i moved my eyes from its ginormous screen to my measly ipod touch i was really unable to browse! the wifi router is brilliant too, when it works

so anyone with pearls of wisdom...convince me to stay

my biggest gripe is that out the box, i have to fiddle around with it so much just to get it to do what every consumer would like it to do - for example the missing task manager, pinch to zoom options etc

if HTC were going to make a phone of this calibre, i wish they didnt feel the need to gag it with winmo

help?
[HD2 General] lucid:
Your first impression is mostly the right one. If you like android more, return your phone ASAP as you've bought a windows phone. Misstakes happen !
[HD2 General] Archer:
I agree with lucid. Sounds like this simply isn't the phone for you.
[HD2 General] harolds:
Since there is task manager and pinch to zoom abilities available, it's not winmo that's gagging the phone, but HTC.

Just want you to make sure your gripes are directed at the correct place.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
I have zero issues with my data connection.
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
I am so tired of everyone wising the Leo had shipped with Android instead of Windows Mobile. I was bored this morning and reading the rather negative reviews of the HD2 on Gizmodo and Engadget, and every other comment on those reviews is about how people love the HD2 but wish it had Android. Well, it doesn't.

I understand you actually have experienced problems with your phone, as opposed to those others who seemingly were hoping by some fluke the HD2 would come out with Android instead of WM as advertised. But then you tell us to convince you to stay with the HD2... if you really have a problem then ask for a solution. If the data issue really annoys you then why would you want someone to convince you to stay with something that doesn't serve its intended purpose for you?

I'm guessing many people bought the HD2 on a whim upon seeing the impressive spec sheet, without ever stopping to think that it ships with Windows Mobile and whether they even liked the platform. Were you one of them? Because you can just look for a solution to your data connection loss problem, instead of trying to get us to list for you the reasons why you should stay with the HD2/WM. The pros and cons of the platform are a just a Google search away.

Edit: Also, you want better pinch to zoom support, eh? Then make sure you stay away from the current latest and greatest Android handset - the mighty and revered Motorola Droid. Yeah, it has no pinch to zoom even though it has the hardware for it. See, HTC aren't so evil afterall.
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
Personally I think the HD2 is awesome, I know its been annoying with so many problems but there is always a fix. I haven't had any problems with the data connection or sync.

I know HTC should be the ones to sort this out instead of us, however everytime I try a new tweak it sorta makes the phone new to me again.

BSB tweaks is amazing btw, I think it should sort out everything you need, pinch to zoom and screen rotate as well as camera tweak and screen sensitivity all in one application.

Im still on the .143 Rom and theres a .201 (or whatever) rom coming out.

Its getting better and better.

I am waiting to see what the google phone has to offer but the HD2 should be able to hold its own especially since wm7 is coming out...whenever that is.

If you are really hating the HD2 then return it and get an android, winmo isnt that bad. Definite improvement if you remember the older models.
[HD2 General] wotsreallygood:
Haha true, I heard the new nexus one doesn't have pinch to zoom either. Actually saying that, they may add it in since it hasn't been released yet.
[HD2 General] sunking101:
Everyone bangs-on about Android but has anyone actually lived with an Android device for say a year? No. Who knows what issues and annoyances the platform holds. If it takes off as it appears it will, with everyman and his dog seemingly wanting it, no doubt I will be trying it myself on a handset in the future but right now Win Mo holds no problems for me. The HD2 itself does, but that's for another thread. :D
[HD2 General] mightymn:
First try to be patient and see if you can make the phone work the way you like with the all tweaks around. Have you tried BSB tweaks? most of them are there. For task manager I recommend Showcase, a great solution.

Yeah, there maybe lot's of little issues but most of them can be remedied. If you got it working right, make a full backup with something like spb backup so that everytime something goes wrong and you have to hard reset, you can have everything back in a minute.

And ofcourse better roms will surely come and htc is trying to improve the HD2. Many of the bugs are fixed in the 1.61 rom, have you tried it? not to mention we're so close to custom roms now.

I don't know how familiar you are with windows mobile. If it's your first winmo device, know that one major advantage of winmo over other OSs is that you can tweak and change a lot of things, so there's always hope for better tweaks and better software.

Lastly, if you have tried all I said and there's absolutely no way you can cope with this device, well, I guess it's just not the right device for you.
[HD2 General] immyl:
thank you to everyone that has replied

point taken about leaping without thinking, and yes i guess most issues are resolved by installing tweaks and updates - like u say wotsreallygood, its always getting better and it really is - only today i saw how brilliant it is with flash sites, after installing skyfire browser.

i guess the reason i said convince me to stay is because i want to see light at the end of the tunnel: though there might never be a stable usable android platform on the HD2 i would like to think that most of the creases with the current OS can be ironed out substantially!

and winmo6.5 is a drastic improvement from previous versions - i used to work with old winmo from the times of mda compact III - slowwwwwwwwww in a word

i totally rate HTC as a good phone manufacturer, and i would never buy a motorola even if it had diamonds for keys lol

comments appreciated though, a lot of food for thought!:cool:
[HD2 General] immyl:
hi mightmn - thanks - yeah i tried the 1.61 and it seemed to make the device a little unstable for me, so i used the goldcard method and now am using 1.48 - i am yet to install bsb tweaks - i finally managed to work out how to keep my contacts synced but i think that was a problem with my outlook (version 2010 beta apparently this is a known issue and ms will not be supporting winmo sync or something like that?)

i am about to install the BSB tweaks, i think i will keep the phone and worse case scenario for me is that if i do get tired of constantly tweaking and tweaking i shall just sell it lol

And ty for advising on using spb backup, i shall search for that now and keep a regular back up thats very sound advice
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Immyl,,

Keep going if you can with all the hints and tweaks on here plus BSB Tweaks. However if you are not getting on with the device then cut your losses and go with something else instead.

I managed to get a 2nd play on the HD2 today and it certainly looked impressive. I have yet to use one on a daily basis so maybe once Father Xmas has been and I get to use one on a daily basis I might well take a hammer to it! :)

Xperia X10 perhaps?

yeh wacky banana i was thinking about whether to wait for the X10 but being on tmobileuk and having worked for them i know more than likely we will be waiting til august to get it even if it launches in march! i am sticking with it and if all else fails there is always ebay...
