Hi,

i have a strange issue with my screen lock.

First, the new wm6.5 started unlocking in my pocket. i found out that sometimes when i pressed the screen in the upper left corner it unlocked ( so without sliding). To resolve this problem, i installed smartlock to turn back to the classic wm6 lock. This works, but the phone is still "trying to unlock" sometimes. for example, when i have my phone laying on my desk with the lock on, it sometimes out of the blue shows the unlock screen, like i pressed "unlock" . .

this is not a really big issue, but the real problem is that when I'm making a call the phone starts to lock / unlock in a rapid tempo, like its going crazy.. the only way to stop this is to do a soft reset..

I already tried a lot of different Roms, made hard-resets and reinstalled HardSPL 1.83 but nothing seems to fix this issue..

is anyone familiar with this problem and its solution?

Kees

Probably a hardware fault, go to your warranty center to have it checked.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] kaas11:
thanks for you reply! I was afraid if this answer.. Guess I'll send it in!

Hello.

Is it possible to mark an email as read in Sense 2.5? If I read an new SMS in Sense the '1' next to the SMS logo disappears after a few seconds. Is it possible to have this same feature on the emails tab? My work email syncs every hour so I sometimes have up to 10 new emails to read at a time.

If I could view them on the 'paper' Sense Tab then have the mail I'm reading be marked as read as I flick to the next email that would be great.

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ero69:
I'd like to see this too.... and, I'd also like to see a Delete icon on the side so I don't have to open the message first to delete it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] snowblind2142:
Here Here..

Wouldn't be a problem if i didn't have 300 e-mails a day... :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tonycosta:
This would be a very handy feature for me too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HasanH007:
Can anyone shed some light on this? it seems like it could be useful for a number of people
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] orlandojumpoff:
this feature should've been in place since TF3D 1.0 :confused:

we have the option to delete emails now with manila 2.5.2011, but mark as read would be a wonderful addition to that
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] TekniskM:
Hi, if sense should mark the e-mails as read in just a flick... would not that make the possibility of missing a mail on youre office pretty big?

If one of the mails you where reading just as 50 new mails where popping in and the sense could not show it because there where to many e-mails to show up. just a thought...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HasanH007:
Nah - that's not a legit reason for the feature not being there.... it needs to be in there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] dXsL:
is this (attached) what you mean?

(I use it, veeeeery handy :D)

what it does, is add an extra submenu item called "Mark all as read"

i didn't code it, not sure who did. credits go to him/her.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] HasanH007:
HI yes that is very good - and funnily enough, I just found and installed in about 3 minutes ago! This is useful fix and will def come in handy.

Would be nice if you could have it in the manila menu as a flick like the sms, but that features absence, this is the next best thing.

Good call, dXsL!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chaitandeva:
Funny enough, after applying this (Manila 2.5.20121225), i did not get the read-all option in manila:(, but the read-all option in the standard Inbox is gone:confused:.:rolleyes::D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Guus_:
Is there a fix for this yet in Manila?

A button above/under the new email button at the Manila Mail tab for "Mark all as read" would be the best!

Or a button at the Manila menu with "Mark all as read".

I've searched so long now but it looks like it is impossible to find. While I think that thousends of people have this "problem". I don't understand why this function isn't included.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] SecretAgentMan:
That works great if you're in the in-box, but the OP (and I) want to be able to mark a message or mark all as read WITHOUT leaving sense to go to the Outlook in-box. Has anyone figured out how to do that?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] neverFollow:
Hi everyone,

The increase in speed and overall performance of the HD2 is truly impressive, even when upgrading from a capable device like the Raphael.

Still, when sifting through the various threads, I see more and more users either complaining about the speed of stock ROMs and/or praising custom ROMs for their performance.

I got my device with a stock ROM dated from Dec-09 (don't know the exact build cause I flashed it immediately :)), and performance was a dream. I've tried a couple of cooked ROMs on top of it, and each one performed similarly: very responsive and incredibly fast.

That's when I started thinking: just how fast is

really

fast then? In other words: what makes a ROM appear fast? Is it how smooth you flip through the Manila tabs, load and scroll through web pages, install an application, copy files, play a video etc.? For me, it's all of it (well, kind of). And my Leo responds almost instantly whatever I want it to do which makes it a dream device to use.

Just curious to hear your opinion/experience on that.

Cheers.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] brandi:
In my opinion the Manila Part is really making the thing. Fast Manila means Fast Rom for me. And I like good results on my CorePlayer Benchmarks :)

Thats about what makes it feel "fast" for me. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] sparklehedgehog:
whatever we get we always want more, human natures greed streak!

so yeah it is fast but until it moves faster than our brains react then people will not be happy!

:cool:

me included.....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jack E:
Fast manila :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] drlalitbida:
But according to me the problem with leo is not the speed or performance

in which there is no comparision at all

the basic prob. Lies is battery

so we want a rom with radio included best for least amount of battery consumption which i hav noticed lasts for less thn a day when ever htc sense is activated and of normal routine use
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] balane:
For me increases in speed are less noticeable than decreases. So when something does improve speed I don't notice it all that much and if I do, my mind quickly gets used to it. But if I do something that decreases speed it's immediately and forever noticeable.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dufrain:
I believe it depends on your aspect. I mean, can you catch the difference between the two sport cars when they are at the limit of their velocity like 300km/h and 310km/h with your senses. I can't

But could you measure it? of course yes.

So i think, it depends on which side are you stay. :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Jack E:
For me it feels fast when i can scroll through the manila tabs really smoothly and fast :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] neverFollow:
Definitely...

Recently I was upgrading my good old Kaiser, I totally know what you mean :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
With the HD2, it's pretty difficult to make it slow, so I don't really think there is that speed aspect left now.

With ROMs, there's much less performance, much more about the features you want.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] loomx:
There are a few roms I have tried and noticed sense occasionally lag, and it instantly makes me change to a different rom. I know the phone is capable of being smooth so I wont put up with it not being.

For me, Sense must be fast, but opening the usual things like emails must be near instant too.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] aussiebum:
Fast = instant, no waiting, < 2 seconds to launch *any* app. Or in other words, iPhone 3GS-like performance (at least).

Of course, features and stability are also very important must-haves in custom roms.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] l3v5y:
The iPhone does something that WM doesn't do, and that is animate to a blank screen/splash screen before actually loading anything. Lots of games have splash screens that take an age to load, whereas WM just loads the program and when it's loaded it displays full screen.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dusty_nz:
I think there are two roms that set some good stds.

Xanny's Evolution rom is one of the fastest Manila Roms. Very quick and snappy in Manilla. Outside it is also good.

Kholk Eugneia Rom with the 1GHZ rom is average in some areas but some apps it is seriously fast. TomTom loads in a flat 2 secs with Aussie maps. Compared to 3.5 secs for most other roms.

If Xanny tries the 1Ghz hack then my phone might just melt.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
That speed you are seeing is not from the 1ghz hack it is from Extendir which increases the speed of File systen read time. So opening some programs will be faster. The down side if it is not properly configured the Notes will not sync and cause other problems accessing the storage card like music etc.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fitnessvip:
fast is when,you listin to music+go to the setup installation+ browse websites:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bbezja1:
"fast" is very subjective judgement. i like to see my HD2 make smooth transitions from screen to screen and "clouds to moove smooth".

talking about fast in program loading only points out your unknowing of how stuff works expecialy when you compare things to iPhone.

fast with other name might be Android, which really works on phone raw power and not some cheap tricks to make it look smooth.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
WWWROEOEOEOEMMMM that's fast! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] dusty_nz:
Strange.

The 1ghz rom had quite slow disk access (SPB Bench) compared to Xanny's

However the 1Ghz Rom's CPU marks were faster than Xanny's

On average Xanny's rom is the least laggy of any rom. Very nice and snappy.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] neverFollow:
LOL :)

OK, from what I've seen so far, I conclude that it's mainly Manila that needs to be smooth and snappy to make the ROM appear fast. Makes sense, cause everything else is already super fast on this wonderful device.
[TG01 General] DunkDream:
Hello,

well I think all of you know, that many reviews say, that the call quality of TG01 is pretty bad. They say, that the people that you call with the TG01, don't understand your voice very good etc.

Well it's not clear if it's a hardware or a software issue.

So today I made a test of the hardware. I installed the newest version of Skype mobile on the TG01 and called the Skype test Service. There I could leave a voicemessage and after that I was able to hear my voicemessage.

So I tried that and found that the quality of the microphone isn't very bad. Everything was very clear. No cracking or somethin like that.

So why is the quality in normal calls so bad? I think it could be a software problem. I would be very happy if it would be a software problem, because softwareproblems can be fixed :)

What do you guys think?

I would like you to try this method, too. I want to know if you make the same experiences with the microphone on skype that I have made.

Best regards,

Manuel
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
there is already a topic for this

there is more to it then the test you described accounts for like signal being 3g or 2g probably other variables but you test shows good results for software prob which can be proved by results of using srswow
[TG01 General] adzman808:
so many people are complaining about this.... but imho no ones actually quantified the problem...

some say it's barely able to function as a phone, others say the call qual is merely degraded...

some say no probs on 3g, others say 2g is best....

most people seem to agree its probably not hardware... the problems is retained on bluetooth... aparently...

some say it's orange... some say it's any 1800gsm network...

i think the majority of people who have unlocked thier phone & moved away from orange have experienced improved results... there's a few posts to this effect over on modaco.com & my own opinion is that my unlocked TG much prefers my work SIM to my orange one... roll on end of contract ;)
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
trying to post on my tgo1 is annoying you got my post before i finished it lol stupud buttons i agree its got to be software or evil orange hopefully the rumored fix appears soon. i personaly have bad quality all the time so like you roll on end of contract 20months noooooooo
[TG01 General] zomig:
My TG01 ia unlocked and I use it on the o2 network, I had complaints from people i am calling about them not being able to hear me or dropping in and out so the problem is not specific to orange. It is better with a bluetooth headset but still not great.

I am waiting for this rumoured "audio fix" to appear from orange / toshiba or the newer 6.5.3 rom would be nice (wont hold my breath though).
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
i forgot to mention when i first got tg01 i had loads of problems, anyway went into store and they "tested" it and said it sounded fine i told them what i thought it sounded like trying to talk through two tin cans with a string,

manager at store said thats just what tg01s sound like htere is nothing that we can do, no refund as its classed as being in the design of the phone not an actual fault. i am going to start a down with orange group lol
[TG01 General] adzman808:
if I ring someone from my orange sim, hang up swap to my tmuk sim and ring them back they tell its like i'm on a diff phone....
[TG01 General] youbrokeit:
You sure you're not using a different phone?! :)

I can't honestly see why that should make a difference, phone-side, as TMob and Orange operate on the same frequency band - I suppose it could be through the voice-compression systems used at the cells and downlinks though.

The way to test this, would be to try a test-call using both your Orange and TMobile SIMs in a different handset - see how it goes.

I've found the 'listening' quality of the TG01 pretty poor, I have to admit, but having spent years listening to, and diagnosing audio systems small and (very) large, what I'm hearing is definitely a limitation of the speaker / amplifier, rather than codec / software issue.
[TG01 General] zomig:
This could point to an issue with one of the bands that the phone uses causing the problem like the 3g band. I have read other posts saying they dont have an issue when the phone is forced to GSM mode.

I have the problem both with the orange sim that came with the phone and also my contract o2 sim. This leads me to believe that the problem doesn't lie with the operator but with the actual phone itself. It could be hardware but most likely software as most people are saying.

Lets hope they release this blinking fix soon before i get rid of it and get an android phone. Had windows mobiles for the past 6 years and have put up with things not working because basically there wasn't an alternative that could match what the windows platform could. Now there is so unless something drastic happens on the windows mobile front there will be a lot people leaving and going to alternative platforms.
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
orange and tmobile are the same company as of a few months ago so i will avoid them both now. its such a shame tg01 has this problem i will have to find out what network the people that complain to me about how i sound are on (as some say i sound fine) as its an interesting therory about signals ect
[TG01 General] DunkDream:

But I think all of you know, that a software update is planed.
[TG01 General] adzman808:
i dont think that TMUK & O-UK have combined thier resources yet...
[TG01 General] adzman808:
as you say same frequenzy band - but completely different hardware at each end + different infatsructure....

a lot of this is probably location... Orange is terrible where i live at the best of times....
[TG01 General] adzman808:
this (often posted) msg from Toshiba could amount to a number of things...

it could mean

we've developed a fix & are merely waiting for the carriers to agree distribution terms before we issue it

but it might mean

we dont care - go away. if the carriers start saying there's a problem & they're prepared to pay us development costs then we'll consider lifting a finger to find a fix, but we're a bit busy developing other products at the moment so if you don't like waiting, we suggest you get a iphone

or anything in between.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it's worth noting that Japan doesn't use GSM, so they may not be that ofey with designing for it....
[TG01 General] adzman808:
I still just want to clarify what exactly the problem is....

Like I said earlier

To many people are describing varying degrees of severity, against far to many variables

We’ve read them all... "this phone's shjt, its ok on 3g, its best on 2g, its orange, it's the 1800gsm band, its hardware, its software blah blah

To meaningfully get to the bottom of this we really need to pool resources, conduct some testing & arrive at what the precise problem is we're experiencing...

After all if everybody is correct about the problems their having... then all this serves to demonstrate is that TG01s are leaving the factory with a myriad of different problems, suggesting a woeful lack quality control....

...........which would be very unlikely from someone like Toshiba....

My own €0.02 ???

Orange is pathetic in my area.

I can only get 2g signal. On my Nokia 2600 I had to go into the garden to get any telephony at all.

My TG at least works in the house.

When I use the TG I can be heard fairly well - with the occasional ''can you repeat that mate, you broke up a bit' from the person on the other end of the line...

When I put in the T-Mobile SIM call quality is vastly improved....

....based on the above I THINK that

- The TG01 isn't a bad unit - perhaps just not as good as some of the other WM devices...

- The majority of

MY

call quality issues are caused by the orange signal in my area

.........................

Reading this forum RE the (apparently divine, can do no wrong) HTC HD2 didn't that arrive with dodgy call quality & the xda boffins had to make a selection of revised radios to get the quality people expected?

Cheers - sorry for the long one !!!

Adam
[TG01 General] adzman808:
sorry to be thick - but are you saying you think the problem is caused by the physical speaker (microphone) or by the amplification method the phone uses to boost sound output?

if this is what you're saying, then what do you think the fix is? (a different speaker?)

forgive my ignorance but i thought the problem was still edvident when using a BT device, so doesn't this rule out hardware altogther?

Sorry if i'm being thick... !!! :)

cheers
[TG01 General] eddybrown:
My dad is getting problems with poor audio, he often gets people asking "what did you say", when he can hear them clearly. The signal in our house is usually 4/5 bars of 2G with occasional 3G coverage in places.

He's getting fed up with it so I hope there is a fix coming because otherwise it's a decent phone bar the poor battery life.
[TG01 General] Philip:
This may sound really strange (and it's based on something somebody said on another forum) but ...

The microphone on the TG01 is at the bottom left of the screen. Can you ask your father to ensure that he is talking directly into the microphone and see if it makes any difference?
[TG01 General] zomig:
Doubt it has anything to do with the microphone as it happens with a bluetooth ear piece as well.
[TG01 General] useyourfist:
i suggested that on modaco and it improved how people heard me alot, but didnt improve on my end obviously. using srswow helps improve the volume swo i suggest people give that ago even tho is a bit unstable.
[TG01 General] adzman808:
i can hear people fine - its them hearing me that's the problem...

srs works* if you install the 3 sep cabs, soft reset after each & every one & install them last**, then -fingers crossed- they work fine....

can't imagine the TG w/out srs now...

also check your screen protector doesn't cover the mic (no seriously...)

i also made this reg change... which PROB does bugger all... but certainly didn't make it worse....

[TG01 General] Davis69obama:
CURE ???

I recently installed manila 2.1, from freeza and noticed the problem had vanished, now its so very clear,... previous to that, OUTGOING CALLS thats when the quality was not good, but INCOMING were perfect. manufacuturers shud build phones from the botom up not vice versa, PHONE = CALLS AND TEXT if it cant do those then dont call it a PHONE , but a media device.

(IPHONE > IPOD TOUCH )is a good example:confused:
[TG01 General] eniotrimi:
Can you be more specific. You installed manila 2.1 and the outgoing calls are now clear?
[TG01 General] adzman808:
yes can we get more info pls..??

did you just just install manila... or did you install audio manager (from 2.1/2.5) &/or oemdiamaudiomgr ??

is your TG from orange UK?

is it unlocked - what sim do you run?

does your phone run WM6.5 or 6.1?

how did you decide that the call qual was better?

what testing did you do?

Sorry for the Spanish inquisition (no one expects the Spanish inquisition ;)

But a fix for TG call qual issue is like some sort of Holy Grail (& no offence, but probably just as fictitious...)

cheers

adam
[TG01 General] Davis69obama:
Im on ORANGE UK , YES I INSTALLED audio manager,its on 6.5... but to be honest i think i was wrong coz the problem seems to be back , WHY TOSHIBA, WHHHHHY... soz for geting ur hopes up but i thinks its definatly the gsm network problem.:(
[TG01 General] mcklane1:
I just have problems when calling in 2G mode and not in 3G mode, it must be a problem of the radio stack.

My suggestion, everybody with a TG01 should complain to toshiba until we get a fix as it's ridiculous that a smartphone can't make phone calls. :mad::mad::mad:

[TG01 General] tomsutton529:
i have found that the problem is the position of the phone, my GF has threatened to throw my TG01 out the window but when i move the phone to a near 65 degree angle it sounds fine. its a very unnatural position but seems to work fine for me.
