[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] x51:
I switched to ATT because my wife wanted an IPhone. I figured the Tilt2 was the same as the Touch Pro2 on Verzion. I knew about the stupid keyboard, but had not realized it was missing the 3.5mm headphone jack. This is a big issue since the adapter is crappy and loose and audio is very poor. I use it in the car and everytime I pick it up to change songs the audio drops out and pops...

Anyway.. The Verizon phone has a Quadband GSM radio and Dual Band CDMA.

I read many places it will work on ATT, but only on the Edge network not the 3G network. See this article: http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/verizon-wireless-cdma-touch-pro2-works-on-gsm-att-network

If i'm not mistaken ATT uses 1900mhz

The specs on the VZW TP2 say:

GSM Quad-band phone capable of global roaming (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

CDMA dual band (1900/800 MHz)

UMTS European/Asian 3G (2100 MHz)

Does anyone know if this can be fixed to offer full 3G?

I would imagine you wouldn't want to keep the stock Verizon Rom.

Could you flash the latest energy Rom on a VZW TP2 and select ATT as your carrier?

I would also imagine flashing the latest GSM radio might be bad??

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

I'd love to dump the stupid keyboard layout and lack of 3.5mm jack...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fortunz:
It cannot.

Verizon released a Verizon TP2 radio upgrade in their official 6.5 ROM. A cab to install that radio alone without the official rom is definitely on PPCgeeks, and I'd imagine it's floating around here somewhere too. I don't know what you mean by "the latest GSM radio", but stick to the radio upgrade Verizon offered and don't flash anything intended for a solo GSM version of the TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] x51:
Thats what I meant.. The solo ATT GSM Radio. I figured it would be bad. There are many warnings that say it would be bad, But until just now I have not seen the REASON it's "BAD".... Bad can be relative.

If I'm on VZW and I flash a GSM radio and loose my CDMA.. Yeah thats bad!

But If I'm taking my VZW phone to ATT and I lose my CDMA but gain 3G.. Thats not so bad.

If I just brick the device... Thats really bad.

From some other posts I just read.. I think it bricks the device.. :eek:

So for now.. I'll stick with the Tilt2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] The Jack of Clubs:
to use the the verizon tp2 on the att network you have to flash a gsm radio. its disabled because of fcc rules. you will loose cdma functionality. atts 3g network uses umts(wcdma) 1900 and the verizon tps has umts 2100 which is used everywhere except north america. you can find guides on how to convert a cdma touch pro 2 to a gsm one.

I'm a noob and I know this, but still need some help...

I have a MyTouch 3G and have followed just about every step shown here:

wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Full_Update_Guide_-_MT3G/Magic_Firmware_to_CyanogenMod

I used the Latest FlashRec:

zenthought.org/system/files/asset/2/flashrec-1.1.3-20091107-2.apk

And used AppInstaller to load it. I've done the Recovery and used:

recovery-RA-sapphire-v1.5.2G.img from

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=530492

as the recovery image.

Everything went smooth and well until I got to the 'Flash zip from SDCard' section.

Obtained and flashed the DRC83_base_defanged as follow

mediafire.com/file/nymkxjmndzd/DRC83_base_defanged.zip

And then tried to load the latest CyanogenMod: update-cm-4.2.14.1-signed.zip

Which ended up with the following error:

E: Failure at line 79

copy_data.

Anyone faced this? I saw a couple of thread with this error but no true solution. Should I try another ROM?

I'm new to the MyTouch 3G ROM world and thus could've picked the wrong rom.

Any help would be appreciated!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] turtleiscool1737:
it's not uncommon. you either did not Wipe. or got a bad downloaded image. restart into recovery wipe the restart into recovery flash base restart into recovery and flash cyanogen. just download another image bc it sounds like you have a bad one.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] TeckniX:
cool thanks for the tip - As a side question, what does the wipe really do, just remove personal data?

How is it different from the oem wipe data?

Ok...so in a moment of stupidity I deleted the Co-Pilot folder thinking that I would never use it because I have the Tom Tom app. However, I now want to give it a whirl. Can I re-download the free demo anywhere?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] hx4700 user:
You could always re-flash the official HTC ROM from their web site. If you have a locked phone to your carrier, you have to use hard hspl or something like that - search the forum for that, as I have a sim free phone so have never had to worry about it. Sadly re=flashing will lose any programs you have installed, and personalisations made. I found Microsoft myphone was great for backing up texts, and the normal PC mobile centre did most other things. I have a folder on my HD2 called CAB where I put all of the cab files for programs that i am likely to want to install again. Whaat I have learned is do NOT use mobile cnter and myphone to back up and resync your contacts, or they will all be duplicated. All of these systems are Microsoft, but they cannot understand that the information is the same.

Good luck.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Redeyedrichard:
Thanks man. When I get some free time I shall have a crack at it.:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ibb1982:
Or easier still, download the cab from http://www.multiupload.com/CQNXQAVFRG (thanks to Xanny Tech), stick it on your SD card via USB, then use file explorer on your HD2 to find the cab and install CoPilot.

Here's an idea that many sane people not using the standard headset might find useful - when the device is locked and is playing music, to use the HOME / WIN / BACK buttons as PREV / PAUSE / NEXT music player controls. Should be theoretically possible, what do the experts think?

fullscreen clock and you can change clock and theme

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bel_z_bub:
you can't? I haven't tried yet.. shame on me.. as a flash developer.. but a phone with flash lite installed should be able to play standalone flash lite swf files..

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] simplyvega:
I have the Verizon Touch Pro2 and recently upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5 using the official release.

I saw someone else have this problem (he posted a video of the issue) but I cannot find if he found a solution.

Normally, if you press the top button, the blacklight turns the device's backlight on or off. If off and you press the Power button, the device tells you "Backlight is off. Press button to turn on." and points to the top button with a little green arrow.

Well, something is wrong with mine. When the backlight is off, pressing the top button does nothing. The problem is intermittent and very frustrating.

Now the device is not locked/crashed because the power button will bring up the message. Also, if I call my phone, it comes up. If I txt my phone, it comes up. If I plug my phone into my computer via USB, it comes up. But pressing the top button doesnt make it come up.

I've flashed the phone 3 times to try to get rid of the problem. Originally the phone had the 6.1 stock Verizon ROM. I have not ever try to load a custom ROM on this phone. I have no special software installed on the phone. I am not using the Sense interface, I'm using the Windows Default.

Please help! & Thanks to all you gurus! :)

I've only noticed this problem when my device gets too hot, so try to keep it out of the sun/heat. I've been on Mighty Mike rom for the past week and have had no issues.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] simplyvega:
i dont think its the heat..

i have not noticed any heat issues. the problem has occurred both when the device was plugged in and not plugged in. in rooms with temperatures from 68° to 76° F and never in direct sunlight..

i think the problem has something to do with email.

i have it setup to check my yahoomail via imap. its downloading messages from years ago, even though its been setup to do only the past 30 days, how is this possible?:confused:

ive seen it say 2000+ new emails on the today screen, and dating back to 2003 the last time i was able to turn the backlight on via USB, the yahoomail account was in a perpetual disconnecting... sometimes erroring at being unable to synchronize at all..

also the error reporting service has told me that "tmail.exe" keeps crashing.. im assuming its crashing cause its getting overloaded with too many emails.. can any provide some input?

ive deleted the yahoomail account for now and will see if it happens again..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] simplyvega:
update

almost 24 hours later, no locking up. device is running smooth.

i fear that the issue is related to the email problem.

it downloading 2000+ emails must have been it.. im assuming

has anyone else had the backlight issue? and have you found it may be related to email?

im going to wait 2 more days and re-add the yahoomail account and see what happens.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
That is very interesting. Have you tried using seven for your mail?

http://www.seven.com/
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] simplyvega:
almost 48 hours later..

no ive never heard of it.. it looks like id have to join a beta to get it for my phone..

and although i enjoy the idea of using something that works i dont like just giving up on the whatever is wrong with the software.

and...

almost 48 hours later the phone has not at all locked up.. i fear the issue is directly related to whatever it was doing with my yahoomail account.

the settings were: imap yahoomail, html, 2kb, 30days, no attachments.. i think thats all thats relevant.. and it was downloading well over 2000 messages from as far back as 2003

im going to add the mail account back tonight to see what happens.. :(
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] burtonsnow8:
Since you mentioned it I was mulling it over...I really think you are onto something with that mail message, because the two times I did that I had a message waiting.

Seven should be free, I've posted the cab below.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] stpierrea:
Same thing with mine...

I've had the same thing happening with my TouchPro 2. I found a quasi-work around that helps limit the number of freezes, but it sure increases the number of pocket-dials I make. In the advanced section of the power settings deselect the "turn off backlight if device is not used for" box. Then decrease the "turn off device if not used for" box to 1 minute. I'm still getting really good battery life (lasts all day) and it's not a new battery.

I sure hope there's some sort of update or fix for this issue soon, because this is only a work-around.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] relicsoul:
Backlight issue on Verizon

I was having the same problem. I do not know if you have mobile email installed. I did. I removed it and so far so good. You will have to hold the back light button for about three seconds sometimes but it always works. No more soft resets. The only issue is that you have to contact Verizon and have them stop the text notifications from OZ Mail. The way Mobile E mail works is the third party software company sends a text which you never see because mobile email software gets it and uses it to give you the notification that you have new mail. Tech support had to create a trouble ticket in order to stop these text messages. Every time I got a email I would get a text from OZ mail with about 20 something alphanumeric numbers. SO far so good! :)
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] isleepinabucket:
I had this problem with mine and it appeared to have something to do with my 3.5 audio jack... it was like it thought there was somthing plugged in there but there wasn't. as soon as i plugged in my headphones the screen came right on...
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] simplyvega:
update - and semi-isolation

so after days of not having my yahoomail account configured, and my phone not locking up once, i added it back with the following settings:

imap, 7days, 2kb, no attachments. (the original issue occurred with similar settings, only 30day past messages and not 7)

it worked for a few days, then when i was leaving work today i took my phone out of my locker and noticed the backlight was on. an alarm had gone off.

then i looked at yahoomail and it said i had 2000+ new messages.. the first message dated from august 2008

i turned the backlight off. when i tried to turn it back on it worked. but later in the evening it did not. it hung like it was doing when i started this thread. and it was in the process of "downloading headers" for hours. upon clicking "send/receive" to make it disconnect, it sat on disconnect for a long time, without doing anything.

something is clearly wrong with yahoomail or perhaps simply the imap service

who should be contacted? someone at verizon?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] simplyvega:
i noticed my screen coming back on this evening when i got out of my car. i have bluetooth set up from my car deck to my phone for audio streaming and hands free.. it automatically connects when i turn the car on and disconnects when i turn the car off. upon disconnect the phone usually displays an error saying that the hands-free device has been disconnected.

it looks like the phone will respond when any kind of event happens (ie plug/unplug of headphones, phone call, txt message, alarm, etc..) so whatever the hell is wrong the phone is not actually crashed, just the backlight wont respond to the top button..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] msh441:
What your describing bis not new... nor is it limited the the TP2 or HTC phones. Commonly referred to as "failure to wake" or "sleep of death" (do ba search). Potentially effects all WinMo devices.

Frequently attributed to programs running in the background as the phone goes into sleep mode. By Programs, this could mean an active applicationyou initiated, a system program running invisibly in the background or an event that creats a notification while the phone was asleep.

Workaround is similar to what you've already tried: Extend the amount of time it takes for the device to go to sleep (+ve found 3 minutes sufficient, allowing for more time to multitask with multiple programs running).

Try not to put the phone to sleep with known programs running under the task manager.

Use Lumos to conserve battery life, since youre possibly keeping the device on for longer periods.

Keep availible RAM using a RAM cleaner and clean up duplicate notifications. I use MemMade for both.

This is a software issue and the circumstances are descibed in Microsoft's documentation for software developers. They test for programs that contribute,or create this problem before they go into the marketplace.

Sorry for the typos. In class banging out a hasty responce.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mmiller7:
I've been having the same issue too, intermitantly maybe twice a month. I can't find any pattern.

I use Google Latitude, Batti, and I sync email every 30 minutes (Exchange to my univeristy, and IMAP to AOL) but I also have my computer set to download messages and erase messages after 2 days so I never have more than about 100 messages to sync.

WM 6.5 Verizon ROM (it came preloaded out of the box)

Sometimes, it locks up immediately after bootup (as a moment ago) sometimes it will run great for weeks before having problems. I can't find a pattern.

[HD2 General] [^IcEmAn^]:
So basically, my hd2 is not running smooth at all. Every time i do a rom update and then restore my contacts/messages/settings it keeps getting frozen and unresponsive. So I have to restart the device, but I don't know why it should be restarted anyway, isn't is kind of super fast?!?! So, now, when I recently updated my ROM, the device is so damn slow, that even after typing my PIN it takes a minute to launch htc sense and everything. When I'm moving through the tabs it's so damn laggy i can't stand it. . Is anyone else experiencing this????
[HD2 General] kinsago:
To be honest, and I'm no expert, it sounds like you have some serious phone problems, probably out of your control. Not to sound like a pessimist but given how everyone else seems to be ok with the HD2, could be either a major rom/radio problem or hardware failure??

I've updated my hd2 using the official rom from HTC and, apart from the occasional lag i get from WinMo, my device runs sweet as a a proverbial nut. Especially as I have run the tweaks suggested by the forums here.

Given that you have said that you've upgraded the ROM and it's made no difference, the only thing i could suggest is possibly send it back under warranty?

Obviously, I'd wait and see if someone with more know-how has a better explanation, i'm merely giving you my POV.

Hope you get this sorted ASAP. A properly working HD2 is a marvellous thing.

All the best
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
To the OP,

There could be so many causes for your problems. I would start as follows:

- Take your SD card out and see if the phone boots and is not laggy with the card out

- If this does not work take a look at the SMS threads on here and see if the solutions there help you

- If no joy then read the Hints @ Tips thread on here, if you have not already done so, and pickup on the cache move tips, using the task manager to close open files, etc

- I that fails look for the thread "HD2 Died - or did it" and implement the solutions in there

- If that does not help and you have been flashing a fair few roms then hop over to the MTTY thread in rom development and see if that helps.

Plenty to be getting on with.

Hope you get it sorted.

My power up to sense loaded time = 55 secs.

Any different?
[HD2 General] [^IcEmAn^]:
thanks for this quick reply. I am using Energy Leo ROM, but I don't think this could be the problem, or is it? Because I have performed a hard-reset now and it's running quite smooth again.. But the question is for how long.

Two questions I have now:

-does it happen to anyone, when you try to wake up the phone, screen doesn't wake up, only the keys in the bottom start to glow? It happened to me from time to time

-does anyone else experience missed key taps? When I tap something from time to time it just doesn't get recognized so I have to "retap" it...
[HD2 General] coolape:
I have experienced question 1 and 2.. however not alot or not frequent.. I tend to think that this is just a computer and computers do crash depending on whats going on.. The missed screen taps only happens once or twice when its playing up. I do have a screen protector on though so whether the dust, oil or screen protector is causing that is a different story, but isnt a big problem for me to remove the screen protector to find out.
[HD2 General] [^IcEmAn^]:
so, the latest problem.. my hd2 had been running for ~16 hours without any problem now, but in last 10 minutes i had to restart it twice, because the screen stopped responding after i wanted to type new sms in a conversation (first time) and after i had a pop-up message about new sms (second time). As said before, I'm using energy rom, latest issue (17.2.). Could the problem be, in fact connected with this rom or specifically with sms software?
