Wing and HTC Touch Flo

Has anyone successfully run HTC Touch Flo on the Herald or Tmobile Wing? I heard report that other devices can run it and others cant...

I tried the alpha .cab they had before but it never worked
Just black screen

damn it, i thought the herald and the touch are pretty much the same. Grrrh I really want that to work

I've tried the touchflo.cab from two different places on my Wing. The one I found on this forum gave me the black screen problem, and the other made it so the touch screen wouldn't work at all, but when I pressed the left soft key it brought up one side of the cube, but touch screen was still disabled.

I've actually had success
I had success following one of the topics under the Wizard section and actually got it to work, however, it was not really worth the time nor the effort. When it did work it worked intermittently and ran dog-slow - zapping more than it's fair share of resources. At the end of the day when all is said and done - I hard-reset my device back to plain vanilla style and tweaked back to my normal config.

Do you remember what you did to make it work? I'd love to try it out.

that is such a shame
if anyone gets it to work without draining all program memory out of the wing please let us know

Just search Wizard forums for Touch Cube - I was following the ' HTC Touch - New Files For Our Wizards' thread but I know I jumped to other threads referenced from there to figure out how to make it work. Like I said it was time consuming and totally not worth the effort IMO - but good luck with that . . . .

Yeah I tried a couple methods but none worked for me. Hopefully a Cooked Rom comes out with it implemented in it.

I am trying to implement the TouchFLo into a cooked rom but turns out it is harder than I thought. I am going to try and get some help from the Hermes members. Word is someone got it working on a trinity, so herald shouldnt be too far off.
Also just thought you should now the herald would need a new .dll file before the touchflo is able to work. I found one in Hermes threads, will try to implement into the rom and see I have more sucess than they do.
cheers

As Any Progress Been Made

Orange UK Tytn II

Hello All,
I just got my Tytn II from Orange today.. besides being charged by the monkeys at Orange £89.99 regardless the upgrade I chose, the phone is sweet.
However, I realised that almost all cool stuff have been taken off, like the HTC Home, MSN messenger and live search, Tomtom, and some other bits n peices...
I found that doing a soft-reset after finishing the screen alignment and cut paste excesrise doesnt prevent the device from automatically installing more customisations...
Hard-Reset did work according to instruction on the main Tytn II page.
All other screens, like when ur doing a call, icons etc are Orange coloured and monotoned in many cases..

i got the orange version
i found the htc home screen on this site which i have installed and it works. the orange colour is just a theme, but i havnt had any luck getting any other themes to work on my phone????

I managed to install the htc home software..the one that places the nice sort of time displa and with the tabs for short cut to progs etc.
never considered trying other stuff..but have to admit..im not sure if its effecting the performance..but after installing the htc home plugin..the phone has gone slow as a slug! screen flip,response to command buttons like activeting email or internet..just takes much longer than the tytn...

first time post on the forum...
the htc home screen on the Orange Tytn ii seems to kill the camera performance in low light... making screen updates less than one a second and videos look like a slow set of blurry stills...
am I missing something?...
Cheers...

Backlight Defaults to MINIMAL After a Call! And Other Problems.

Good Afternoon
I had a new TyTN II Delivered from orange after mine was nabbed at the weekend, and i locked it remotely. When i make a call now all is hunky dory, but whilst in that call if i go to press START for example nothing will happen, so again i try another way and press X to go to the today screen to then press start, Nothing happens.
I inform my caller ill call them back, and end the call by either pressing "End Call" or pressing the Red Button, and then instantly the Back light defaults to a very low setting, and it did NOT do this on my previous TyTN II.
I have spent a fair while looking through here and google (and also MoDaCo Forums) trying to find a solution. I only know of one other person on MoDaCo who has the problem, and i have tried hard reset on the device too to no avail.
It is a Orange HTC TyTN II, so i have called them also for advice and they know about as much about it as i do.
This is a plea for someone here maybe to lend me a hand and sort this out, otherwise its going to collide with the nearest large surface in the next few days ha ha.
Thanks again for reading, and I hope someone can help me!

screen off
I select don't blank/turn screen off in a call, as I often want to enter dtmfs for mailboxes, or conf calls, downside uses a bit more battery

Hi mgr2003.
I have these options set, and it doesnt make a blind bit of difference unfortunately. I was hoping for some kind of CAB file for a fix? I dont know whats wrong with this device but its not as good as my previous TyTN II.
Sean

This question keeps being asked about once every week since the TyTNII came out. Sorry, but it is getting a bit annoying....
Once again: it´s caused by a bug in the HTC ROM and happens when a device password is set and the backlight times out during a call. Solution: disable the device password or - if you want to keep the password - push the power button twice after a call and you are back in business.....

That would be an all well and good answer but i do not have a password set on my device, so the answer doesnt justify?
Cheers for the Advice though.
Sean

I also have that problem with my tilt....when i am on a call the screen turns off..How can i disable this?

In that case I apologize for my somewhat rude reply. Your problem description just seemed to fit that bug exactly....
Sorry, have no idea what else may be causing that behaviour. Good luck, and if you manage to fix your issue be sure to let us know!

Did you use Kaiser Tweak to disable fast sleep?

Hi
I havent done anything to the device, it is exactly as shipped by OrangeUK. Its only 3 days old now, so not even had a second to do anything but use it.
Sean

I have an Orange TYTN II and this bugged me too.
Download Kaiser Tweak http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
Follow instructions on thread and disable Fast Sleep (advised)
Normal Backlight and Power Settings will still be active

Backlight turns on!! Tilt WM6.1

I have an AT&T tilt and I just upgraded it to the WM6.1 ROM from the HTC webpage and since then I have noticed that when I turn of the screen, all of a sudden it just lights up for a sec and turns off again, without any reason, is there a way to fix this, do i have to flash it again? what do I have to do?

i have the same issue, seems like after i flashed it happened.. any ideas?
one cool feature is that when it flickers, if u press the screen constantly, it flickers.. like a strobe light.. lol

I have the same problem. It's annoying because I think I'm getting a text or call. and usually I don't receive texts, i have to see it light up then press the mail button to see if I have a new text. ARGH.

My Tilt does the same thing. It's a whiteish-gay light. It'll come on for short bursts or I'll notice it on in the middle of the night, and who knows how long it's on until I notice it.
I had upgraded to WM6.1 a while back, and didn't have any issues, but had to hard reset my Tilt and it has been doing it since.
It doesn't do it all the time, either. Weird.

Mine Does The Same Thing
I hope there is a fix some time for this ..

I'm glad i am not the only one, but havent found a fix yet

I seem to remember there being an issue with screen flicker when the Tilt first came out, I think it was related to having Telnav selected in the today screen items tab. Try removing the checks one item at a time from the items tab, I doubt it will be as simple as a software conflict but it could be worth trying.
I had an issue with SPB Pocket Plus on my today screen, once I moved it in to a tab on SPB Shell the issue disappeared.

Fixxed?
I dont know if it just stopped doing it, I am not paying attention anymore or if one of the many things I did finally worked, but the truth is i havent seen it do it again, Thanks to everybody

It been happening on my Tilt since I got it last month.

This is happening on my tilt too... only after upgrading to 6.1. Glad to see it is not just me, but very concerning that this is a problem directly in the 6.1 TILT rom.

Bump........
Any body have any luck on this? I continue to have this problem.

Adding my voice and another symptom
is anyone else having this problem:
1. lock the tilt by tapping 'device unlocked'
2. tap the power button.
3. the backlight comes on, no picture but instead of flashing it stays on draining the battery
4. tap the power button to turn the tilt back on
5. tap the power button to turn tilt back off again
6. tilt stays off.
the issue did not change with the backlight hotfix.

Maybe try another ROM
Finally, i found others with this stupid glitch
I thought it was a hardware error, so i had AT&T send me a warranty/replacement, and guess what... comes out of the box and STILL DOES IT! Has anyone with this problem tried installing a DIFFERENT ROM, like one from the XDA forums? I'm about to try that, because i am fed up with this. I will report if it works. ARG!
Sorry for the ranting. but in a way, i'm relieved. that there are others with this problem
... It might pay to just go back to Windows Mobile 6.0.....
-=ZYXTIA=-

Different ROM fixed problem, but just had more problems after. Sorry guys.

Me Too...
I am glad that I have found other people with the same issue as me. I thought it was just my phone, as I do a lot of backups and restores after I do something stupid with my phone and I also use a lot of beta/unstable software, and figured it was caused by these. However, it only happened after I upgraded to 6.1 stock ROM. Maybe somebody can figure out exactly why this happens, and then we can come up with a fix. I am just happy that I'm no longer alone with this issue
-Dave

I'm very pleased to know that it isn't just me experiencing this stupid backlight issue.
It started happening the second I upgraded to WM6.1
Funny thing is, it only happens to me if I Lock the phone (keys) and turn off the screen. If I just turn off the screen without locking, the backlight stays off.
It would be really great if someone could come up with a fix for this that doesnt require me to reflash my phone with some cooked up rom

has anyone tried this hotfix?

i'm experiencing the same problem, will try it and post back as soon as i can
edit: didn't work. got some error about it couldnt remove the old customization tool or something like that

Running the AT&T 6.1 ROM and silly thing turns on by itself at 12 midnight. No connection to anything as I leave it in Flight Mode. Only goes off after I hit the Power Button. Drains the battery down to about half by the time I leave for work at 7AM.
Really is annoying!

Possible Solution
If you are still under warranty, call up AT&T warranty replacement (Customer service is 1-800-331-0500, and just ask for warranty department), and tell them you have this problem. TELL THEM YOU THINK IT IS A HARDWARE ISSUE, and they will send you a replacement, refurbished Tilt. The next one will also have WM6.1 on it, and do the same thing. HOWEVER, it is AT&T policy that after two replacements, instead of getting another one the third time, they give you a refurb of a DIFFERENT MODEL. That is how i got the AT&T FUZE (a.k.a. the HTC Touch Pro, a.k.a the "Raphael"). It doesn't have that problem. But otherwise, i have no other suggestions. i'm just sick of having AT&T screw up the phone's software, and then try to pass it off as quality.

Mine comes on exactly at midnight!
Annoying as hell...and the light from it wakes me up from across the room.

Need some help, as well as questions answered please

Hey everyone, I'm VERY new to this forum. I have no idea if this post belongs here, so if it doesn't please forgive me. I have spent a lot of time "ghosting" this forum for advice as well as tips and I can't seem to find any threads specifically tethered to my questions.
First off, I'm not even sure I should be posting here because I'm unsure on whether or not questions about the FUZE should be in the Raphael section. I know it's the same phone but I couldn't find one specifically for the FUZE.
Anyway, I'm having a couple problems (mainly with the new rom 5.11 from the htc website.)
The first and formost, I hate the new messaging style they have. I carry my phone in my pocket, and I hate how my phone wakes up every time I get a text message. My screen keeps getting touched after I get a text and ends up pressing things I don't want it to. Also, it used to be that if you kept a convo opened, all the texts you received would count as read. Not the case anymore. I now have to open and close the conversation once for each message I received. 10 messages means opening and closing 10 times. That's ridiculous...I don't want to have to spend a lot of time getting my phone to register I read the texts. My last problem with the messaging, is I used to be able to open the keyboard, and start typing, not worrying about trying o find the last message I received. Unfortunately, now I have to scroll all the way down to read the message, and I have to click the entry box to type. The last one isn't really that big of a problem, it's just more of an inconvience.
The next problem I'm having is my phone likes to use WAY too much battery to do anything. Even when I have no programs running in the task manager, my usage is at 48% (give or take 2%). I know I read somewhere on XDA about a rom that uses 25%, and starts up quickly, but I have no idea where I read that.
I'm not looking for people to just hand me answers or programs or anything like that, but if you guys can just link me to the thread containing where I could possibly find what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys, Nitro

Hey Nitro i'm going to try and answer your questions (since im still somewhat new im not sure ill be 100% right but ill try =D) ok so for the messaging thing. that is a rom specific thing i think. Becasue i am using a WinMo 6.5 rom and dont have that issue. As for the second thing im not sure if its a WinMo 6.1 problem but i kind of remeber it being a reason i switched to 6.5. Now for battery life you should go into the roms section and look for some kind of rom that says something about energy (usualy there is one in the top list). How ever most of the new rom's are on 6.5 so... you will have to either look far back in the pages or upgrade (and maby if your lucky there might be a 6.1 in the top list.) The energy rom's will also affect your ram usage but be warned it will have an impact on how fast your phone is. So you might have to do a bit of testing to see which ones are for you. Also when looking for the rom make sure it says for the fuze on that page if it is not you can still use it (however you will need to get a thing called keyboard switcher because its really funny when you are trying to send an email and press the @ on your keyboard and get the number 2 =P. Any way here is a link to the roms Link to roms

Thanks for the reply.
I had no idea WM 6.5 was even out...That's awesome. I'm gonna play around a bit with those roms to see if one is better...Thanks for your help

So today I found another big problem I have with the rom I have...I can no longer send a text to more then one person at a time...Why did they take that out?? I used to be able to send a message to a bunch of people, and it worked perfectly, but now it only registered the first person. I noe have to send the same message 15 times just so everyone gets it...Like seriously, As if the rom using 50% power isn't enough, let's make people take 10 minutes to do something that should take 30 seconds. I officially hate the software devs at HTC.
Just as a funny side note, it took me 4-5 min to write this message, and my battery went from 100% down to 92%...AWESOME! God I hate this.

Hello there
You may want to flash a new ROM and Radio to your phone. Its not a difficult task and you will like the results. I personally use NRG's ROM Here and love it.
The radio rom is really what conserves battery life. I matched the latest one on the radio page here to the rom i linked above ( Radio 1.14.25.35) . Its a good combination if you ask me. I see that you are just north of me in PA ( Im in Baltimore ) and also on ATT. To be honest you may have to play with radios until you find the balance between signal strength and battery. What works for me may work for you because we are in the same general area with the same cellular provider. My battery has been off charge for more than 2 hrs and im at 98% ( although ive been on my laptop for the most part).
As far as accidentally hitting buttons, I use a slide lock on my screen ( like the Iphone screen lock) so when it turns on, you have to use the slider to unlock it. This will not only lock your phone from accidental misdials and screen taps, but also it shuts the screen BACK OFF after a set number of seconds therefore conserving your battery !!!!!! This is the application I use . Download the VGA version.
If you need help, feel free to send me a PM here and Ill do my best
P.S.
This is the right place to make a post. A Fuze is a Raphael.
