Ouch, I had similar problems but with my Kaiser not my TP2 so I hope the same doesn't happen. I did some research and it turns out that the reason that micro USB connections are now the standard are that they have a much more reliable life cycle than the mini USB connectors the TP2 and Kaiser use (and lots of other Kaiser users complained of the same failure).

In brief, we're all doomed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
Don't give up so quick. You can bye a decent soldering iron at radio shack for around 15-20 bucks, and some solder (sp?) for pretty cheap also. Just heat up the solder on the board and pull it off with a solder sponge (should come with the kit) until you can free it. You can also bye a spring-loaded solder vacum that will suck the melted solder up when you pull the trigger. The worst thing that could happen is if you don't have a heat sink (a big block of metal) sitting on the back side of the board where you are soldering, you could overheat some other board components. But if you're not going to be able to use the phone anyway, it seems like a risk worth taking.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mr_sheen:
@TC

have u tried going to settings - connection - usb to pc - and untick the enable faster synchronization box?

last time my TP2 only charging when connected to computer instead of active sync i did this. It works like a charm
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
Mr_Sheen, yes, tried that numerous times. No go.

cbeck, I thought about doing exactly what you said, but decided not to. Perhaps if I found another mini-usb that will fit I might try it. However, I didn't bother looking to see if the solder points are attached to tiny resisters like it is with the Tilt.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevenmc8602:
*sighs* everybody is gonna make a thread like this...

U have to get another usb cable... the same EXACT thing happened to me I tried EVERYTHING people suggested and nothing happened so I finally went and bought a new usb cable from radio shack and it worked just fine from than on...

U might not think it's the cable bc it still charges but it more than likely is idk why but it is...

If the cable doesn't work...u can always take it back and get a refund... but I honestly believe it will
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] stevedebi:
My TP2 USB just died. I tried 3 cables and two different computers - nothing worked. Luckily I'm still under warranty, so I ordered a replacement.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
If only it was the cable. I used 6 different ones and it didn't work. I used 6 different computers and laptops and none of them worked. I tried going into the registry and modifying whatever I saw, reinstalling the stock ROM numerous times, going to the PC-USB thing countless times and nothing worked. I wish it was as easy as switching the cable, but I think it's a little beyond that.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
If you get adventurous, here is a somewhat passable guide that will get you to removing the MoBoard... though I suspect you have made it that far already (it's a google translated link) not much on instructions, but pictures anyway.

here

There may be a better one floating around somewhere, but not that I have come accross.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
Here's the site I went to. It looks like it's the one that htc techs use. http://www.repairyourmobile.net/htc-disassembly/htc-touch-pro2-htc-tilt-2-mda-vario-v-disassembly/
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] pf:
I guess it is a generell hardware fault. At my first TP2 the USB broke down after 4 month (all the same as describben: loading o.k., but no sync), my second one (warranty) did it 1 month -very bad. I really like the TP2 and don't want to replace it with another PPC, but I guess in near future I will have to. At now I sync by bluetooth, very reliable, but not good for big amounts of data. If I think to transfer my 1,8 GB navigation software by this this would need hours...

I will have to change again, but don't guess this will last long...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cbeck:
@ Nathantw: Another thought, considering you had a crossed pin at one time, you may want to check the resistors/diodes on the board connected to the mini usb connector with a one of the voltmeters you can bye from sears or an autoparts store. It would be lousy to go through the replacement/repair to find there was some other problem...

I'm not sure it is hardware related in all cases. I frequently cannot connect via active sync and have to perform some combination of rebooting the computer, rebooting the PPC, reinstalling active sync on my pc (after removing all registry settings), or syncing a different ppc to active sync, then syncing the tilt2.

It's very frustrating at times, but this is basically the same procedure I frequently had to go through with my blackjack and blackjack ii. Using vista with WMDC seemed to suffer from the same problems during my brief use of Vista.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
Thank you for sticking with me this long. I just reopened the case this morning and found the audio pin for the right speaker was sticking out in the USB again. It could be the ground wire, but I'm not sure. It's the second pin to the right on the bottom. It wasn't crossing any of the other pins at any time so I don't think it was a short anywhere. Turned out that when I pushed the pin back into the USB bay, though, the pin broke. So the right hand audio on this phone is gone forever. Sigh. Why couldn't the phone just have had a frickin' 3.5" jack like all the other phones in existence? I guess I could hotwire one onto the phone but finding a jack that's so tiny will be tough.

I'm going to buy a bluetooth dongle for my PC and do my syncing that way (as someone already suggested earlier in this thread...thanks!). I think I can setup my Activesync on the phone to use that instead of the USB cable. Who knows, maybe that'll kick start the phone to using the USB again.

As for your suggestion, I uninstalled Activesync on my PC and reinstalled it. The USB didn't work on the Tilt 2 so I attached my "Kaiser" onto the PC and synced that. The Tilt2 still doesn't see the the USB.

If I need to tether, though, I'll just use my old HTC Tilt (Kaiser).

What's interesting is that the phone's battery doesn't last worth a dime any longer. I have a brand new battery and the phone drains within 8 hours. That could be normal, but I vaguely remember the phone lasting longer than that when it was in standby. Could be wrong and it was only draining quickly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DebbieNY13:
I have the same problem and have to use a Bluetooth USB to sync, as well. It works beautifully, even for extremely large files (i.e., RHODIMG.nbh!). Mine is really low profile, too, and only cost about $15. Much cheaper than the $90-$275 range that HTC said it might cost to fix the USB port.

In the meantime, I keep checking prices on the Tilt 2, because it will probably be cheaper to replace my device than to fix it.

Good luck!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] touchpro2junkie:
I had the same issue with the usb.. It wasnt syncing properly.. I had to move it around and angle it to get it to charge and sync.. and then one day it just quit.. So of course my phone dies.. I took it up to sprint.. Turns out it was the charger/USB cable I purchased from sprint themselves (Motorola).. The guy at the sprint store hooked up an HTC USB to my phone I told him it wouldnt work then the next thing I know the lil "B sterd" wants to charge.. Luckily for meh I didnt have to pay for the damn thing to be replaced again.. Now its charging everytime I plug it up and it syncs immediately.. I was kinda (p)'d off I spent 40 dollars on a charger that last a few months.. But the guy at the store gave me a free USB/charger..

So I guess my next question would be are you guys using an USB/Charger made by HTC themselves or some other manufacturer.. Because that was my problem..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
I can't seem to get the Activesync working via bluetooth. I never synced it to my PC via USB cable after the problem started and now the PC doesn't see it. Is there anything I need to do special in order for my phone to work recognize the PC? My PC definitely talks with phone and I even pushed some calendar events to Outlook, though it wasn't synced up properly so now I have duplicate events.

Forgot to add that I loaded the program that allows my phone to become a wifi router, thanks xda-developers and all the great people that help others out. It's great being a wifi hotspot for my kids and myself. The only drawback is I get 56kbs (802.11b/g speeds) instead of the 180kbs I was getting with the hardwire usb tethering. Oh well, at least I can use my computer while in a hotel room and now I'm able to share my bandwidth.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
touchpro2junkie, yes, my 3 chargers are the official HTC chargers.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeznuts:
ATT has a 1yr replacement warranty bro. How are u passed that? U just gotta know how to play the game with these cell companies. Since its all about customer service u just got to nag and complain everyday on the phone with their warranty department and eventually youll find someone that will give in and send u a replacement bro. I had problems with my att fuze and they upgraded me to the tilt2 for free, no contract extensions or changes, just a free upgrade. Seriously, just gotta know how to talk to people bro. Good luck
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] deeznuts:
And get the dang insurance, lol! Who the heck has a device that retails for $500+ and doesnt have insurance that costs like 5 bucks a month? Seriously, great investment for when u never know what happens. Lot better to pay 50 bucks no questions if u ever need a replacement vs all this non sense. Keep complaining to their warranty dept and when u get ur new tilt2 be sure to add insurance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] TAL1962:
Going for 2 monthes now without usb. only charge.

no big deal. u get used to it. I use BT or just pull the SD card and stick it in my PC.

for small files I use Email..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
Took your suggestion deeznuts and tried AT&T again. This time they're going to change out my unit. YAY! I'm hoping that it actually works a little longer this time. However, if the new refurb unit dies again at least the new Windows 7 HTC units will be out along with the reviews and I'll know whether to buy that or just get an Android based phone.

Thanks for "pushing me." As for the insurance, if the phone is more than $400 next time I'll get insurance. I just never used it in my previous phones I've purchased.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] millcat72:
Have you tried flashing your phone using your sdc card???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nathantw:
Hopefully my last update. Got the replacement Tilt 2 and when I plug the USB in everything works again! Such relief. I also found out something that was a tad unexpected, the battery lasts a LOT longer! My old phone's battery used to last about 8 hours max. Lately it was down to 5 hours on a fully charged, brand new battery. It's been over 15 hours and I still have 70% battery power on the new (refurbished complete with lint and dust) phone.

So there was definitely something running in the background or shorting or whatever in the background of the old phone that was first, blocking tethering/Activesync and second, was draining the battery.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
This is what I was thinking...I'm having insane issues with active sync now...have had the new at&t rom for about a week and a half...and now my computer keeps sayings it can't detect the device through usb....

it starts active sync when I soft reset the device and restart the computer...but only works for like 30secs to 1 min. then it disconnects and says it doesn't recognize the device anymore.

Phone is useless if I can't sync with my computer... and blue tooth is only good for things like outlook, forget transferring docs or audio files...it takes too long.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
o.O just tried another cable...and it's working now...insane...just transfers files a little slower than before when the htc cable was working...this is nuts.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] XGhozt:
Just wanting to add my 2 cents here. I've had this happen a few times and it's always a faulty USB cable. If you buy a decent one that doesn't fall apart then you should be fine. For some reason the tilt 2 port actually wares out the cheapo USB cables.

Edit: I posted this before I read the post above mine, I rest my case.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Final5k:
I've had this problem if I plug my Wifi Usb cable on the computer and connect my TP2 - the phone just will not sync and will just charge up. My solution was to unplug the wifi cable before I sync my phone and if this does not work, to restart my computer without the wifi cable.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] EzMe:
Wtf is a wifi cable? :)
[HD2 General] Muzun28:
hi. i just bought a tmobile hd2. some of my phones informations is:

spl-2.10.0000 8g xe

fcc id:nm8pb81120

os version 5.2.21892 (21892.5.0.89)

manila ver 2.5.20121412.2

protocol 15.39.50.07u

cpu 8250b

speed 1024mhz

ram 576 mb

flash size 1024mb

i've read lots of articles on this site. i suppose i'll need to instal another rom on my phone. i read a lot but i get little confused. i think first i have to instal HardSPL (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=653614) second i have to flash a radio and i can instal a rom. and on this page (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591784) it says i don't need to flash a radio. which means that i just install hardspl and instal this rom... am i right?

can you guys help me what am i suppose to do... and which version of hardspl, radio and rom works well for me?

sory to ask lots of questions but i don't know enough about wm phones :(( thanks for guides...
[HD2 General] voncrane:
Hi, basic steps are

1. Backup your important data like contacts etc..

2. Its very IMPORTANT that you Flash HardSPL first before flashing any ROM (No worries,it only needs to be done once for you to enjoy subsequent custom ROMs). Version 2.08.HSPL is ok.

3. Browse the threads for a suitable "TMobile HD2 compatible ROM" or visit this link for comfirmed ROMs.

4. Perform a Hard reset after successfully flashing any of the ROMs

5. Enjoy!

i suggest u clear your schedule, get coffee, tea, drink(s) :D and visit This Link . It contains info and links to all the guides you can possibly need to push you and your device to a higher level. i wouldn't recommend trying android till you are very comfortable with flashing ROMs.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
you dont need to worry about the radio just yet, because since you have a tmous phone, it already has a radio that will work with all tmous compatible roms anyway.
[HD2 General] Meishe91:
Well I'm gonna just say right now I'm not an expert or anything since I'm relatively new too. I'm just trying to help, I would however advise wait for a more experienced person to answer.

First, if you want to flash a ROM follow this guide for the TMOUS HD2's. It goes over how to do it, which ROMs are compatible and all that.

Yes, you do have to get HSPL (except I think there are methods when you don't, though that might just be for the international phones...). But to get HSPL you should probably use this. I don't know if it is the only thing that does it but it, from what I understand, is the most well known. It also keeps you from "bricking" your phone.

From what I understand the only time you have to flash a radio is if the ROM needs it, and the chefs will say if it needs a certain one or list ones that it works with on their ROM page. I think most of them support the radio that comes stock, though don't take my word for it. I would wait for someone else to confirm or re-explain this paragraph because I'm not completely for sure.

As for which ROM is right for you...well only you can answer that. They all are different and different ones have advantages over the others. You just gotta explore a little and see what looks nice. This is the list of ROMs that support the T-Mobile HD2 so stick to it. I don't know how up-to-date it is (meaning I don't know if there are any new ones or not) but stick to those, you can "brick" your phone otherwise.

I would however advise if you're new to WM phones to try out themes first. They are a lot safer and I don't think there is any chance of ruining your phone (the only reason I flashed mine is because I've done it with a different phone before and felt comfortable doing it). Don't do anything you are uncomfortable doing and understand all the risks that go into anything you do to your phone before you do them.

Sorry for the long post, just hope this helps a little.

Edit:

I just got double ninja'd :P
[HD2 General] Muzun28:
thaks everybody for all informations. i'm still reading to find out how to install a rom and which one is good. i liked enegy rom gtx themed. i'll take a try. just before doing something to my phone i'm just tring to learn more :) but i'll do it anyway with a goodway or hardway... i hope everythig goes well...

thanks again...
[HD2 General] voncrane:
That's d spirit...You'll be amazed @ what the search function on XDA coughs up...Everything'll go well once u stick to d guides and TMobile compatibie ROMs & Radios.
[HD2 General] Muzun28:
i picked up this rom (xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=652649) but there is two options. 1) com5(c5) 2)com2(c2). i don't know what it means... and if want to install one of these roms do i have to flash a radio after installing hspl?

and what is the stock rom? :o

thanks again...
[HD2 General] Meishe91:
It looks like COM5 and COM2 are just different versions. COM5 offers more options it looks like though, but I'm not sure. Someone else can probably answer that a lot better than me. I am also unable to answer the radio question. Sorry.

As for stock ROM though, that is the ROM that came already on your HD2 when you got it.
[HD2 General] voncrane:
I see u picked out Kumar's ROM...Click Here for a thread on the definitions and differences between COMs...And No, you won't need to flash a radio after installing HSPL or a custom ROM (Unless you are having problems connecting to your network in which case, u need 2 be careful 2 flash a radio known to work with Tmobile HD2).

Stock ROM is the original/default ROM which TMobile shipped with your device. Follow this guide and you can grab the stock ROM from here. The Stock ROM has to be re-flashed to your device if u ever have to return it to Tmobile as flashing a custom ROM voids your warranty. Grab useful links and watch video tutorials here.

Hope dis helps ya.

I have this problem with a self cooked ROM.

i'm using latest manila (2016) from 3.04 US ROM and WinMo 6.5.x build 24619.

all works fine except a simple thing with manila music tab:

there is two softkeys, Music library and menu (i think this is the correct WWE translation: in italian "Catalogo" and "Menu") that dosn't do anything at all.

if you "press" it, nothing happen.

anyone have some idea? already update HTC audio manager engine to the latest version.

Well this might be more a android question but I've been always told that taking screenshots on android had to be done this way http://www.altafsayani.com/2008/11/01/how-take-screenshots-of-an-android-phone/

And some minutes ago I turned off my wifi using touchwiz fast acces and I don't remeber what I was pressing but when I pressed home button it took a screenshot (attached)

So how can I take screenshot (can't find on google)
