unknown menu bar symbol

Sorry if this has been discussed before, I'm a veteran Xda-er having had 3 I's ( I lose them!) and now a II (love it) but I'm new to this forum lark!!
On the menu bar at the very top of the screen on occasion an icon appears that I cannot identify in any of the documentation.
The icon seems to appear at randon times, and on soft reset, sometimes disappearing almost imediately sometimes lingering for several seconds. The only way to descibe it is as a small head and shoulders icon with a cross inside and a curved 'telephone' below to the left! Sorry for the rubbish description, but hopefully someone will know what I mean, I have attached a pic.
if someone could let me know what (if anything) it means that'd be great, cheers

As far as I know it means you cannot make a voice call whilst that is displayed i.e. when you are downloading over GPRS it seems to come up. I might be wrong but I'm sure thats what it is

seems to make sense
cheers

This is the program icon of IA CallerID.

Right, and that it pops up every now and then is just damn useless...

hi guys
i thought it was something to do with the memory because when it comes up the phone is very slow to respond.

Startup: empty notification

Whenever I turn my phone on it shows an empty notification "bubble". Also in the top bar next to the G/3G icon is an extra icon, the one that shows up when you change keyboard input to numbers. It just stays there... Also the lower-left "softkey" turns to Notification instead of the usual Agenda.
I can only get rid of it by opening up a new sms/mms/email, because then the icon for t9/abc/numbers needs to be used, so it sort of refreshes the icon and it goes away when I exit the sms/mms/email.
Now I was just wondering if there's any way to fix this? It's bugging me, although not to a degree at which it would be frustrating, but still... I'd rather not have to go through the above mentioned steps everytime I turn my phone on.
I think it's too minor of a problem for flashing my phone. So, any suggestions on what to do? Thanks!

hi - tap start/ settings in personal tab tap "lock" untick box listed "prompt if device unused for" this sovled for me

Thanks! That worked. I'll leave it like this for the moment, but if there's a way without turning off the lock please let me know.

it's a known bug.
i haven't seen it since i flashed the niki project ROM.

Aww, ok.
Guess there isn't much else to do then. I'll wait for an HTC update.
(Anyone know when WM 6.1 will be here for the touch dual? )

Then Niki Project ROM runs WM6.1. Try it. I have it on my Niki and it's fantastic!

The standard Dialer is driving me MAD

Opening the phone interface there are a number of numbers visible that I've recently dialed.
Some numbers even show what type of number (car, mobile, home work) was dialed by using "<c>" as in indicator.
Intuitive I press and hold one of the last dialed numbers, hoping for an option menu, but nothing happens, only to have this number dialed on release.
This must be a nuiscance to more people than just me.
Is there a solution, or even a better dialer program, so I can exchange this one?

you know how the <txt> or w/e is surrounded by left/right arrows/brackets (<>)? That's to indicate you can swipe your finger (left or right) to cycle through the different options (much better and easier implementation than 'holding' down for the change I think).
Hope it helps

I agree. the standard dialer drove me mad as well. Almost returned the device.
It was especially annoying, because I borrowed a WiMo from a friend first, and I liked the dialer.
The solution: Disable the phone skin, go back to the WiMo dailer.
Many utilities can do this, amoung others: Advanced Config V3.3, HD Tweak, etc. Just disable the phone skin.

just in case: the wm6.1 standard dialer makes you lose the bt status icon in the top bar as well as the in-call volume-control! (but there is a somewhere a thread with a cab to fix that last issue)

Are you sure? Because I they are both still working for me, and I do not recall having to fix it?
The only thing that is missing for me is Video-Calling, though it can still be done from the menu.

strange... for me these two things are the side-effect of going back to the wm6.1 standard dialer, and other users (in another post somewhere) have confirmed that... so just feel lucky that that did't happen to you (but you are sure that you don't have these issues? when bluetooth is switched on, you still get an icon in the top bar, and when you make a call, you can change the volume of the 'person on the other side' with the volume keys (not system or ring volume)?)... so, just feel lucky, no idea why some people have it, some people don't... it's just a warning, but worth a try anyway, as the setting can easily be changed back....
regards jan

In retrospect, you are probably right.
I do have a "bluetooth" icon in my WiMo dialer, but it is in fact my headset icon, probably not the icon you refer to. And in fact, the headset is the one I want, so I do not care about any more base-bluetooth icon
And I rarely set set the volume, but when, I do that by the via the headset also, which also works....

anyone know if this is possible???

hey Guys hope you can help..
Prior to upgrading to stock rom 1.72 - i remember everytime the device was connected to wifi or mobile internet there was a timer on the notification screen to show how long the device was connected. Htc have removed this on the 1.72 Rom i thought it was quite handy to keep track as you know the device is very sensitive eg its always connecting to internet if i forget to lock it properly so my question, is there anyway i can get this back working on the hd2 notification screen?
is this possible??let me knowTHANKS

is there a way this can be done

tap the signal/battery icons at the top, it should bring up a balck notifications screen, which shows connected time.

samsamuel, i have and its not there! it hasnt been there since the 1.72rom has been out..any idea why?

nope, sorry, its there on 2.x roms. COuld it be that you have uinstalled something that has an activation area that is covering that part of the top bar? (Ark switch for example)
Does anything come up when you tap there? or nothing at all?

When I tap I get the notification screen when connected to wifi or mobile Internet it just says connected where the timer use to be.. I'm sure most users on stock1.72 would agree?

i dont think i uninstalled anything -whats ark switch about?

ark switch is a task manager, which by default the click area is teh top left of teh task bar, but i know that you can configure teh click area manually, and i once did this myself and forgot, and i had put teh click area over teh top of teh icons, so the notification area stopped coming up.
However, its not that, cos you said the black screen still comes up. (Good task manager tho..)

I am on the stock 1.66WWE ROM. When I click on the top of the screen, I am taken to the black 'Notifications' screen.
If I am currently usiing my operator's data connection, it will show that I am connected and how long I have currently been connected for.

thanks both, i dont understand why htc removed this..can anyone else on stock1.72 confirm that this is not available so i know its not a fault on my device thanks

Why just not flash to a HTC 1.66 ROM, as it is the same as the 1.72 Telephone company ROM but without the telephone company's add-ons (bloatware)?

Official Froyo XXJPO - Bug reports

Please add any bugs found in the Official froyo release XXJPO here.
I'll throw a couple in for a start off:
1) Double capitals on Swype keyboard.
2) Some letters still missing down right hand side of phonebook.
Just out of interest both these bugs were present in some previous beta releases of froyo.

A problem I've had on JPM and the recent JPO I've just upgraded to, is with the Google Search widget on the homescreen.
Whenever I press the text area, the widget moves to the top of the screen, as expected. The problem is it doesn't go back to where it was originally placed on the homescreen and remains stuck at the top of the screen.
It gets quite annoying after a while as the only way I've found to fix it is to remove and replace the widget.

I have the letters missing in the phonebook problem but my swype Keyboard seems OK. However the prob that is really bugging me is all my contacts are duplicated, IE phone and sim, even though I set it to show phone contacts only it still shows them both???

I think the swype problem is usually just in the internet browser, but it does appear elsewhere sometimes. Go to Google or something, and swype two words. You'll find they both have a capital. Or instead of that if you manually type something, the first two letters are capitalised.

I've also got missing letters in Contacts, haven't noticed anything with Swype yet though

What is the problem with missing letters ?
Yes, there is not the entire alphabet on the right, just because there is no enough room. Just like in this forum, thread pages numbers aren't all showed for long threads.
So as I understand, it is not a bug, it is a feature.
Or do I miss something ?

Letters are missing if you do not have a lot of contacts that start with that letter. I noticed that. So I would say it is a feature.

I am on JP6
I don't have a contact with I, but I do have contacts with H. But H is missing and I is not. T is missing and I have got many contacts with T. none with U and U is there. So I don;t knw if u r right abt that being a feature.

Yeah I get the double capitals on Swype and he missing letters in my contacts list. AND the duplicated contacts too... Thought I'd screwed the imports up somehow and was gonna flash again. Won't now. I'm running JPM

Yeah, I too don't have any contacts starting with I and a few with H, likewise loads for N and only one for O, yes both H and N are missing. On JM1 it was a feature where if you didn't have any contacts starting with a letter, it was omitted, but this I'd say is either a really stupid feature, or a bug

That's not a bug, it's a feature. Alphabets are missing because you don't have contacts starting with the missing alphabet. Try adding a contact with missing letter and then report please.

If you'd actually read what had been posted, you'd see that people actually do have letters missing for contacts they have, whilst still having letters for no contacts.
E.G. I have 3 contacts that start with H, but H is not in the list on the side. I have 0 contacts that start with I, yet I is still in the list

Similar bug in Music player too. You'll note that once you start playing a song and navigate back to your library, the alphabetical bar shrinks and some letters go missing
Just to add, context search for songs from the same album doesn't work properly from the now playing screen in Music Player. Fixed only in one 2.2 build if I've not mistaken, other 2.2 versions I've tested have this problem

You have added wrong widget..Two widgets available in widget list search and google search..try google search then you will be all set.

Day names on lock screen appear in English not in the locale you have selected.

If you're able to please index every possible bug in the first post.

Battery
Flashed through Kies last night from JM2. Battery was at 100% when i went to bed.
left it stock (factory reset'ed) with no custom apps installed, wifi off, gps off.
Woke up 5 hours later. Battery: 68%
In the battery usage:
Display 46%
Cell Standby 34%
Phone idle 20%
Why is the battery so bad? I could understand if I had poor signal for the cell standby, but it shows three bars of signal?!
And display...what the hell? It was off all night?!

Uh oh... Sounds like gallery sensor bug is still there.

Mobile AP
Mobile AP still not working, as in other Froyo builds. Can connect but no internet traffic.

As well as the points raised above, I also have some purchased apps missing from market (as in nowhere to be found).
With WiFi enabled, powering off and on takes forever and when the phone eventually comes to life, WiFi shows as being "On", but there is no icon and the GPRS icon is present but there is no internet connectivity at all. Cycling the WiFi off then on again sorts it, and powering up with WiFi off is entirely normal.
