Several minor problems with XDA2 - bug list - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Hi everybody,
during some three months I've encountered several minor problems / bugs. They don't keep me from using my XDA2 but they are annoying... And I am sure many other people encounter the same problems. Perhaps we can collect these bugs and send them to O2 / MS so they can fix it?
OK, here's my list:
- very often the XDA2 takes several seconds to respond (for example when pressing the "off" button),
- if I want to access the bluetooth screen (bluetooth on/off) very often the XDA2 displays "settings" in the titlebar, but the dialogue doesn't come up. Killing all running applications from the "running programs" screen sometimes helps.
- SMS get lost after being sent.
- ActiveSync doesn't sync my SMS's.
- when I have a "screen lock" set (enter code after some minutes inactivity) and receive an SMS the XDA2 chrashes and needs two (2!) soft resets to come up again fully.
- The today screen doesn't respond to changes in the calendar (new appointments) for several minutes.
- After an alarm (appointment) has been closed, the red light keeps on blinking for several hours.
- when connecting a wired headset the connection (even rings) get lost!!!
- When trying to connect an other device via infrared and using the "modem" functionality, a few bytes of data get transfered, but then the connection is lost.
- The battery status display when clicking on the time field in the titlebar is not very useful (full / almost empty) - a little more information (five to ten bars) would be great.
- Once I lost audio for telephone (speaker was silent / mic also). I had to reset my XDA2 - what use is a phone without audio?
- When clicking the antenna icon (to connect to GPRS) there is no response rather often and I have to do a soft reset to be able to connect.
- using the notes application (Pocket Word also) sometimes the font changes (gets smaller) without any apparent reason.
- the camera is not usable with dim light.
- by default all data is kept in RAM - and lost easily. Important data like address book, calendar, settings etc. should be kept in ROM by default.
- using Pocket Word is rather difficult - I would rather have some paragraph styles like "heading", "text", "quote" and so on instead of being able to change fonts
- the file format for the notes as well as Pocket Word is very strange (I didn't look at Pocket Excel). A pure text format with embedded objects (graphics, formatting) in XML or whatever style would be good (or an open documentation of that file format).
- The xda should be able to produce a composite video format on one of the pins in the connector when required (presentations).
- sometimes ActiveSync becomes crazy and pops up every few minutes saying it can't sync. Only a reset can cure this behaviour.
While some of the points mentioned require a change in the hardware, I'd think most of these points are software faults. If you know a remedy please tell me.
Ciao,
Berny

Summary of the Universal phone functionality bugs/problems

Hello everybody - I am currently testing the Universal with the 1.11.45 wwe system, and I would appreciate any confirmation that what I have found still exists in the 1.13 system, as I am not sure if I should upgrade immediately or not.
- “contact” soft key is on the RIGHT when desktop is visible, on the LEFT in phone application and in the MIDDLE button during the phone call. JUST Imagine somebody in the car who wants to make a phone call….. especially with MISSING REAL HARDWARE BUTTONS to assign the contacts to…
- In the phone application – last unanswered phone call is not displayed on the phone screen – you have to click HISTORY to see it – just the same problem in the car – somebody is calling you, you can not get out the device on time, so you press twice TINY TINY green button on the hinge, and …. You call the last number you have called before…not the last missed one
- Phone application just shuts itself of and Universal comes to the desktop screen WHY? (Imagine AGAIN in the car….)
- REALLY ugly TMobile skin, but the original blue skin has to low contrast….Again IN THE CAR…
- maybe I did not try hard enough but I can not obtain predictable results with the onscreen quickdial (not to mismatch with SPEED DIAL butto which Is OK, )– how to obtain the names starting with second or third letter from the key – I don’t know, and anyway it does not work if you have about 1500 contacts as I have
- check how SPEED DIAL it was done in the old handspring TREO phones – large buttons with the names on them in two columns rather than one list, with whole screen “pages” of 12 contacts each, for me much easier to use and navigate if you have more than one screen of numbers as in the car there is no chances for easy up and down navigation, what you have to do now with the numbered list.
- With all this missing hardware buttons what happened with the D-Pad functionality – in Blue Angel it was UP- History DOWN – speed dial … but in Universal nothing works ?????
- “during the call” screen with 6 soft buttons stays on when the phone call is already finished – again you do not find the soft buttons in the right places when you want to make next call
- When I got rid of the TM skin video call button is missing, I can not use UMTS yet as it is not available in Krakow, but it will be needed some time…
- No BT icon on the desktop – no chances for the quick verification of the proper connection between headset and the unit
- I have heard that voice dialing functionality does not work when the unit is closed (I always keep it open – screen on the top)
- There is no voice dialing available when the unit is protected by the password (but this is disputable)
Any other comments / bugs????
Some very valid points - I tell my buds that the JJ (in fact any XDA) is not good for driving frequent phone users. Here are a couple of fixes:
- Quickdial is pretty cool. Just type the name in T9 and matching entries will appear. Click the match you like then press dial. Forget trying this whilst driving tho...
- For speeddial, search this forum for VJDialer, and put links on your today screen any way you like using cLaunch of another plugin
- Search this forum for buzz's BT icon, AND his BT headset fix. However, you will then find that the BT issues are far deeper than you currently realise - the 2 devices just keep on losing connection.
- Voice dialing works perfectly as expected no matter how the phone is laid out - try it, it's DEFINITELY what u need for driving. Works well with BT too

Fixing all the little annoyances of the Wizard

There are several little annoying things that prevent the Wizard from being a perfect phone for me. Here is a list of all the annoying things I don't like the solution to them, if I have found one. If people post more solutions that work I will update this list.
1. The unit is way too slow.
Solution:
Install Omapclock and omapclockplus.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=271012
Download that speedup.cab
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=261638
2. Insert Pauses in Dialing
Solution:
You can, in your contacts insert pauses in the number using a comma:
i.e. 123-4567 , 123
Does anyone know how to insert commas while dialing normally?
3. Lock the phone (to password screen) with a button combination (unsolved)
I mean lock as in the sense where you are at the enter code screen to unlock the phone to be able to use it. Normally I set mine to auto-lock after 15 mins, but what if I want to lock it right away?
I think I have done this by accident, as I pushed some buttons accidentally, and come back a few minutes later to find the device locked at the password screen.
4. Answering Machine (unsolved)
Some software to answer incoming calls and record a voice message. Though, this seems impossible due to what I read in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=277314
"Due to a hardware limitation of the Wizard, WM5 does not have access to the incoming GSM Voicestream. WHat this means is that you cannot use a software answering machine on the HTC Wizard."
5. Windows Media player key mapping
Windows Media player works fine for me, as I use Windows Media player 11 on the desktop to create perfect playlists that are all converted and copied automagically on the device, Ipod style. I just select my playlist and go. The only problem, as most of you are aware it the inability to retain button mappings when the player is not on screen, and also the ability to only map the directional keypad.
Solution:
Use Pocket Player. It can successfully emulate the look, feel and functionality of Windows Media player, while adding all the missing features like the button mappings, crossfading, visualizations, equalizer. It even prevents the device from locking (to password screen) when you are playing a song.
5a. Windows Media player key mapping Headset button (unsolved)
Use the headset button to skip to next song and perhaps turn off the screen too.
6. Wifi while connected to USB
I want to have Skype logged in and running on my Wizard but still have it plugged in charging from my computer, as the wifi + skype drains battery like mad. The problem is that when I connect via USB, the wifi disconnects and reroutes from the computer. Skype, for some reason, cannot connect this way.
Solution:
In Activesync 4.5 go to File>Connection Settings>Allow wireless connection on device when connected to the desktop.
A Workaround: Install a USB mass storage driver such as Softick Cardexport
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
or wm5torage
http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
and set it to USB drive mode when you connect
7. Repeating Notification upon missed call or SMS
I currently use PhoneAlarm and it does the job.
8. Assign SMS tones to different people (unsolved)
How is this possible?
9. Simple Task Management (worked around)
I want to be able to access the control panels running programs list. Also, I want to kill all programs but WITH an exception list. I also don't want to have to install a whole other task manager with any more features than that.
Current workaround: Pin a shortcut in your start menu to the task manager
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=276385
10. SMS chat
The Treo has a great feature in while all chats to and from one person are organized into a sort of "chat box" in a style like MSN messenger.
Solution:
http://www.trianglepowers.com/ppc6700/ViewApp.aspx?ID=37
While the program does it's job OK, it often crashes and you need the bloated .Net Mobile Framework installed as well. It also does not have the smart lookup function of the regular messaging program.
11. Use the unit as a USB drive
Solution:
Like mentioned above use
http://www.softick.com/pocket-pc/cardexport2/
or wm5torage
http://www.modaco.com/WM5torage-t238545.html
12. Start a new calendar item and it changes focus after one letter typed. (unsolved)
When you try to type a calendar item, you type one letter then you lose the focus. You then have to click on the blank again.
13. SMS notification on top of any application (Unsolved)
I want, when I recieve an sms, for it to display a notification on top of whatever application I am using without clicking the mail icon.
Windows mobile 2003 had a cool bubble that popped up on top of whatever app you had. I think I had something like this working before, how can we do it again?
14. Loose stylus
After a while the stylus silo becomes loose and starts losing styli like they are going out of fashion.
Solution:
1 square inch of shopping bag plastic shoved in the hole or see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=247497&highlight=stylus+loose+wizard
-------------------------------------------
Here I will add other people's annoyances and fixes:
1. Store Email on the Storage Card
Qmail will run on the card and store all your emails there, as will npop. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...highlight=npop and other threads.
2.Prevent T-Mobile customization
You can prevent the installation of t-mobile customization after a hard reset. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=272613
4.Purge Deleted items easily (unsolved)
In Messaging, it takes EIGHT key presses to empty the deleted items folder. This is my second most frequent item pressed (to delete mail from the server) after send/receive.
5.The software keyboard pops up even when the regular keyboard is open, at least until a key is pressed.
Stop the software keyboard from popping up in Landscape mode:
Download this cab file and install it from the wiki.
6.The symbol X doesn't mean close

If adding commas acts as a pause how long is the actual pause? Is there anyone to use diferent pauses. The only reason I ask is I work with automated voice systems for work, and in order to "test" accounts I have to go through like 3 minutes of waiting.
I could really save time if there was a way to dial, pause, dial, pause, and so on.
3. Lock the phone with a button combination (unsolved)
Hi Phony,
3. Lock the phone with a button combination (unsolved)
is solved if you care to look at Molski`s website under:
http://www.molski.biz/mycabs.html
and there check the cab file for:
Molski.Biz VoiceDial Button Customizer stating:
This program installs the full versions of WM5torage 1.60 and DeviceLock,
including shortcuts for both programs and the DeviceLock Control Panel.
It remaps DeviceLock to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (single press).
It remaps WM5torage to hardware button 4, the VoiceDial button (long press/hold).
I made this program because I never use the VoiceDial or Record functions of the button, but I often use DeviceLock (and hate it to have it as an item on the Today Screen) and WM5torage and wanted some quick shortcuts to it (but not on the Today Screen...).
Hope this helps cause it works like a charm for me ;-)
Thanks to Molski !!!

I bought a 2gig memory card for my phone.. but I can't see anyway to make it store email on the memory card.
There is an option to store attachments on the memory card but not the emails themselves.
The phone has such a poxy in built memory that after installing programs and contacts etc. there is only 5-6mb left... this quickly gets clogged up to the point where in coming SMS, emails and new contacts can't be stored.
So I have a great situation of 2gig of memory, that is semi useless and an OS that doesn't seem to have been designed to integrate extra memory properly into the daily functions of the phone...
Anyone got any clues or addon softwares that might help ?
ALSO... was wondering if anyone knows a way to wipe the tmobile rom off the VARIO and install a plain one or K-Jam rom.... ?
ALSO .. never got that overclocking to stay.. as soon as the phone goes to sleep, it reclocks back to 180 again.....
one comma = 2 secs pause as far as I know
@freimaurer
What is the devicelock program? What does it do?
alternative?
@richardq
have you tried installing the programs onto the storage card instead? There are relatively very few programs that really need to be installed on the internal storage.
Also, remember to store as much data (documents. media, etc) as possible on your card.
Btw according to some previous threads funky things can happen if you force messages to be store on the card.
Use a different program for mail

I have begun to add other peoples annoyances... hopefully we can have a huge fix list
On the issue of turning the phone into a storage device, some questions:
1. Does the Softick solution (Card Export), utilize USB 2.0, or just 1.1?
2. The chart on Softick's site say that it "works" for the HTC, while others are described as "works fine". There appears to be a difference. Anyone know what that difference is?
3. For either solution, does the software need to be installed on the PC? Or on the phone? I would see much less use for this if it has to be installed on the PC, as Activesync is proficient enough. The value to me would come from being able to access the storage while away from my own computers, and without having to set up a partnership.
edit: I see now that Card Export II needs only be installed on the phone.
Thanks!
Big annoyances
My pet peeves are:
Start a new calendar item and it changes focus after one letter typed. I can't believe this persists through updates to windows mobile.
In Messaging, it takes EIGHT key presses to empty the deleted items folder. This is my second most frequent item pressed (to delete mail from the server) after send/receive.
Occasionally, there is a ten second delay for the machine to respond to a start menu press, usually while something with wireless is going on. Why do I have lower status than wireless?
The software keyboard pops up even when the regular keyboard is open, at least until a key is pressed. I would like a setting that says "never pop up the soft keyboard, but leave it available if I press on it"
The symbol X doesn't mean close (fixed by smartskey)

Funny you mention this - there was a WM developer blog post about this just last week. It at least explains the rationale behind the X itself and the way WM5 tries to manage memory for the user.
Link to post
One of my biggest annoyances:
WM5 is not smart enough to go into "dot mode" on number fields. For instance when choosing a time for an appointment, I cannot possibly want to enter text. When putting in a phone number, I probably do not want to enter text. It would be nice if you didn't have to hit the dot button to enter numbers in such fields.

I agree about the dot mode, especially because the Treo nailed this -- it was almost always in the right form, to the point where entering text in a new contact, it figured out that phone number fields should be numbers, names should be letters.
As to the close button explanation, it strikes me as hogwash. First, WM5 does NOT manage memory. One opens programs, eventually using up all the memory, at which point one gets an inadequate memory message, suggesting we close some programs. That is managing memory? But even if it did manage memory, how is it that WM5 uses the same symbol for a different action than Windows XP? The X in WM5 minimizes, an action symbolized by _ iin XP. It is as if they are trying to fool the user and make the device not work as expected.
(Preliminary reports suggest that Vista is going to do this same behavior -- confusing by using different symbols for the same action, and the same symbol for different actions, in distinct settings -- in a really effective manner.)

It locks the wizard when you press the VoiceDial button does not matter in which program you are at the moment.

I have updated the list.
There is another annoyance I almost forgot about.
I want, when I recieve an sms, for it to display a notification on top of whatever application I am using.
Right now I have to switch to the messanging program, or view the notification from the today screen.
Windows mobile 2003 had a cool bubble that popped up on top of whatever app you had. I think I had something like this working before, how can we do it again?

Bugs report on ANDOT WM6 for Feeler

Hello my first post here.
I enjoy the ANDOT (and SP3DEV too, but it have same lacks in SMS Sim management, so I decide to use ANDOT image) WM6 clear type image.
It's give NEW LIFE to my glorious QTEK 8020 (aka FEELER).
PROS:
- Finally I can read/delete my SMS DIRECTLY to my SIM card!..With WM2003SE I can only "import" it (a full copy on PHONE memory) and not operate one by one on SIM card (SP3DEV image have same bugs in that!)
- All goods looks of "clear type" in WM6 (Finally I can read all 160 caracters of SMS in "one display" look without SCROLLING up and down!) and "9 ICONS" menu..and all other improvements!
BUT I HAVE FOUND THIS BUG:
If I make a "HARD RESET" pushing UPPER LEFT + UPPER RIGHT bottons (aka "START" and "CONTACTS") on START the phone don't START ANY MORE!!
The only way to resume it is to REFLASH MEMORY AGAIN with "mtty l c:/os.bin".
So I ask if it's possible to correct this BUG, and otherwise:
HOW TO REVERT BACK TO MY WM2003SE (my previous image)?
..I have try to search it, but I haven't found the "COME BACK" procedure!
Thanks a lot
ONE MINOR BUGS AGAIN:
I use TomTom 5.20 and with WM6 the display don't auto turn-off with WM6..
.so navigation it's good (TomTom 5 work) but battery life last only a few houres, not all day long!
..If it's possible to fix this only!
if u use SPL 1.01.0109,just press "1" when Clean HIVE(1) appear and press "2" when Format Par(2) appear for hard reset.
It the same way with WM5 for revert back to WM2003SE (please visit http://ronswens.jconserv.net/index.php)
No Service - Hang
I have run into the No Service Hang issue several times with my Typhoon. I don't use it every day so it is quite a nuissance to pop in the SIM, expecting to use it and getting locked up with no phone service. Hard Reset recovers the phone service but then all of the GSM, Active Sync, and external mail settings need reconfigured. (This is a lot of key presses using T9)
Wonderful WM6 ROM with comments
This ROM runs fine in my XphoneII
but few minor issues I found on this ROM
Comm Manager - After press 1 or 2 to disable the phone function, It is not possible to resume the phone function except reboot the phone
Calculator - the "#" key is not work
Sometimes the phone hangs after reboot if it connected to PC by USB cable, remove and reinstall the battery, all settings will be reset.
Sometimes activesync 4.5 cannot detect the phone reboot with USB connection
The call divert icon on the top disappear sometimes (Windows Mobile Bugs??
WM2003SE also have this issue)
ClockOnTop cannot disappear on the top during phone conversation (ClockOnTop bugs?)
Extra package:
Celetask - The bluetooth audio switcher is not work, and the user interface will changed to simplified Chinese if you choose action > add tools... > ... (the path browsing box)
Anyway, the ROM is very good for feeler, the performance almost same as WM2003SE.
1 more question, How can I remove the simplified chinese and install traditional chinese as the system language?
Thanks andot and everyone
before resume the phone function,terminate CommManager.exe process with celetask.
btw the ROM is excellent,but sometimes "No Service" with LED still blinking,no phonecall,but can receive sms

[APP] [25/3/09] [0.9 Beta] Cell Broadcast as Operator Name (Manila+Dialer)

Hey guys, my first real contribution here. I was using the Cell Broadcast solution with a today plugin posted here.
I had two major issues:
1. With Manila, can not use another today plugin
2. Need to use S2U2 because waking up of device, otherwise device stays on for sometime and screen touches are registered.
I played a bit with the registry and found out that setting two keys will reliably set a string which would be used for the operator name hence changing the string in Manila, dialer, etc.
I intercepted the messages coming from "Network" and extracted the CB body, if the device has been on for less than 5 seconds, then I assume that the cause of wake up was the CB, hence I suspend the device, its working quite nicely for now, will need your feedback for a probable general working release this weekend.
To do / Known Issues:
- FIXED: One key is hard coded as 41006 (my operator code), need to get it from phone. Otherwise ask user for it.
- Configurable from field, "Network*" is hard coded for now.
- Autostart using Init registry
- Hide / Remove UI
- For now UI shows incoming CB messages, power events, time difference between power on and message incoming for deciding to suspend or not.
Hello. I did search on this topic too. but did not find anything else that you do. but exactly what does not work. I got a newer version? thanks

[list][23.11.09] hd2 shipping rom (1.43) bugs collection

Please help me collecting the bugs from shipped hd2 roms (i sent this thread-link already to htc). I own a german version of the HD2.
Real Bugs that need to be fixed in the next hd2-roms:
- calender wont go past 1.nov.2009 in week-view (monday set as first day of the week) fixed in 1.48
- g-sensor not working in titanium (no titanium landscape switch)
- notification LED doesn`t work
- connection to the internet without a timeout/break (gprs-disconnect timeframe should be larger)
- voice command does not work with a bluetooth headset
- volume of a stereo-bluetooth headset cannot be controlled. The device volume has no influence on the headset.
- storage card is called "storage card" instead of "speicherkarte" in the german rom (might cause problems installing apps)
- view music by recently added
- volume cant be adjusted during a call when in handfree mode (speaker on the back)
- overstearing speaker sound (back-speaker)
- purple center in pictures taken with the hd2-camera (htc is working on a hotfix)
- sporadic volume control failure in Music-tab/streaming-player fixed in 1.48
- audio-booster disabling itself after playing a song
- HTC Messaging takes all SMS's and stops them from being published on the "notification queue" that other programs can listen to
- Sms not being sent/delivered (can't confirm that, works for me)
Minor Flaws that should be fixed in the next hd2-roms:
- 3g-button missing in comm-manager
- geotag (camera) is implemented but deactivated
- taskmanager quickmenu missing
- taskmanager icon missing in list (to assign quick button in sense-homepage)
- navigation panel link missing in startmenu
- taskbar icons (phcanoverbmp.dll etc.) from wm6.1. Should be the rounded edges/G/H/3G from wm6.5.
- facebook contact pictures and birthday should be saved in contact details (you loose the friends fb-pics and birthdays when disabling fb-sync-feature)
- opera zoom-slider and more tabs
personal opinions/wishes:
- save wasted space from the huge clock (smaller letters) and add 8 quick links (4/4) drop down to 16 links (4/4/4/4) (shortcuts on main page)
- ability to choose between background for all tabs or just the main sense-page.
- more contact shortcuts (20 instead 15; 4 icon rows)
- smaller webpage links in sense (3 or 4 icon rows instead just 2)
- playback support of avi-files (divx/xvid)
- solitaire link missing
- when pressing settings in startmenu i want to get to the startmenu-settings rather than manila-settings-page.
- battery percent icon instead of just 4 bars (taskbar)
Many things described can be fixed with regedit or total commander. See here.
You can also use BSB Tweaks to enable some features.
- notification LED doesn`t work
- connection to the internet without a timeout/break
- no way to make an owner information input
- microsoft voice command does not work with a bluetooth headset.
- when a stereo bluetooth-headset is connected, the volume of the headset cannot be controlled. The device volume has no influence on the headset.

Just looking at your first selection, these are not bugs!
Just because something isn't as you'd want it, doesn't make it a bug. A feature that you want but wasn't advertised as a feature and isn 't a feature is not a bug. Maybe the fact that it doesn't make my coffee is a bug??
Seriously, there are a handful of ACTUAL bugs, let's not go diluting things with this random nonsense.
divided the list (bugs/minor flaws/wishes).
please report back if you can find something else.
The htc sense bug for calendar can be fixed!
Found it on the o2 forums and if you change the layout to week starting on sunday then the problem is fixed. Also this is just a temporary fix also i do hate week starting sunday but it is solved by it!
A lot of these things can be changed using the tips/tweaks here
And a missing feature is NOT a bug. The calender issue is a bug. The Geotag camera not being implemented isn't a bug. It can be activated very easily in the registry.
I suggest you read the above thread, and then amend your post.
I found that I didn't need the Owner Information fix. It is now stored in your Contact card in Contacts. All of my Resco stuff is reading that fine.
Thanks to post issues that can help our cookers to cook a nice ROM for our device in order to be more accurate.

is anybody else experiencing some kind of lagging while playing music now and again?
hi there,
I'm a HD user... Just want to know that how does the HTC messaging work on the HD2?
When ported to HD, the program is very bugy as if you trying to restore about 300 msgs or more, the program will become very irresponsive and will take a long time to load and display the existing msgs everytime you open it up..
With long msg, the text will overlap with the date. Not sure if this is the case on HD2 as well. It could be a bug of the HTC messaging, or it could be that our HD is too slow to run it.. need you HD2 owners to conform that for me.
Thanks!
There's a nice default text selection tool included on the HTC HD2, an HTC Sense feature rather than a Windows Mobile one, which we've video demoed recently. It allows you to tap and hold on a text and bring up an adjustable selection box that you can spread to encompass the desired text.
You can further expand both the functionality and the eye candy of this feature by enabling the magnifier. To do that, edit your registry HKLM\Software\HTC\TextSelection\EnableMagnifier and change its value from 0 to 1. You'll get a nice magnified preview of a portion of the text allowing you to select text more easiliy. Wonder why HTC had that disabled out of the box?
from devs over pocket now...thanx
How about the volume rocker that stops to control volume in Manila Music tab or Youtube every once in a while?
Also, Manila music player crashes on too many people.
And finally, Audio Booster disables itself after each song (or when the phone is locked).

Please help me collecting the bugs from shipped hd2 roms (will send the list to htc when done).
Real Bugs that need to be fixed in the next hd2-roms:
- calender wont go past 1.nov.2009 in week-view (monday set as first day of the week)
- g-sensor not working in titanium (no titanium landscape switch)
- notification LED doesn`t work
- connection to the internet without a timeout/break (gprs-disconnect timeframe should be larger)
- voice command does not work with a bluetooth headset
- volume of a stereo-bluetooth headset cannot be controlled. The device volume has no influence on the headset.
- storage gard is called "storage card" instead of "speicherkarte" in the german rom (might cause problems installing apps)
- view music by recently added
Minor Flaws that should be fixed in the next hd2-roms:
- 3g-button missing in comm-manager
- geotag (camera) is implemented but deactivated
- taskmanager quickmenu missing
- taskmanager icon missing in list (to assign quick button in sense-homepage)
- navigation panel link missing in startmenu
- taskbar icons (phcanoverbmp.dll etc.) from wm6.1. Should be the rounded edges/G/H/3G from wm6.5.
- facebook contact pictures and birthday should be saved in contact details (you loose the friends fb-pics and birthdays when disabling fb-sync-feature)
- opera zoom-slider and more tabs
personal opinions/wishes:
- save wasted space from the huge clock (smaller letters) and add 8 quick links (4/4) drop down to 16 links (4/4/4/4) (shortcuts on main page)
- ability to choose between background for all tabs or just the main sense-page.
- more contact shortcuts (20 instead 15; 4 icon rows)
- smaller webpage links in sense (3 or 4 icon rows instead just 2)
- playback support of avi-files (divx/xvid)
- solitaire link missing
- when pressing settings in startmenu i want to get to the startmenu-settings rather than manila-settings-page.
Many things described can be fixed with regedit or total commander. See here.

Totally agree! I want this future "perfect" rom!
I guess I'm lucky not to have had any music player problems? I've been using my HD2 to play my music in the car and while studying at uni. What type of crashes do people experience?
Bug in sense SMS writer
When reading / replying SMS in sense ui, there's no close button, nor ok button. Need to hit hardware key "home" to get back to "today screen".
HD2, orange FR, 1.43.73.1 (21864).

+1 for sporadic volume control failure in Music-tab/streaming-player (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584242), and for the Audio Booster disabling itself.
I have some trouble with the HTC keyboard using some textfields in Opera. Sometimes, e.g. saving favorits, i cant type big letters in the titlebar. I tab on the caps-button to enlarge the first letter of the page name. But if i tab the letter on the Keyboard, my HD2 wrote the small one...
I encountered the same problem in some textfields like post replays in some forums. It seems its a problem with the T9 suggestion, but if i change it to ABC, the Bug doesnt disapear.
