Hi, I only recently had this problem. Basically when im on the HTC Sense menu, if I go to email I can browse the emails flicking up and down however, when I press an email to open it nothing happens. You can see the press action but the email doesnt open instead I have to go to inbox and open that way.
Anyway else experienced this?
Thanks
I experienced the same thing on my hd 2. must have been after the installation of some thing. the problem is u can never know what caused it. anyways I had to hard reset as I couldn't stand feeling something is wrong . after owning the hd2 since oct, I really believed they rushed its release.
Hey thanks for the reply. I just ended up doing a hard reset, think you might be right i've hadd to hard reset a few times now because of problems I have had !!
still looking for a contact manager though!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I get this sometimes, theres a quicker and easier way to get it working (until it happens again of course, but this doesnt tend to happen again until youve hard reset)
Tap the windows tab at the top left of the screen so you get to the program files, then on the bottom left of the screen, tap "lock"
Now just unlock the phone and the problem will be gone
TouchPal Pro
On my case, the same problem occurs after I uninstall TouchPal Pro. The "Windows-Lock" cycle solve this issue.

Well,this sounds familiar Same thing happened to me countless times after installing various things.The only solution would be a hard reset (If you don`t know the procedure do a search on the forum). Remember to back up your data! I can't comment on Navigon, never tried it.Try to uninstall and launch sense again.Do a soft reset and if it still doesn't work,try a hard reset. It`s the only solution I can think of now so... ) Good luck !
First off, do a search for "unable to launch HTC sense".
Try the possible solutions in that thread.
Try also booting without SD card.
Manually disabling / re-enabling sense.
Uninstalling CHT (if you use it)
Hard reset may be required however these things can usually be solved without one if you have the time and patience.
Hope that helps.
Uninstalling CHT finaly did the job. I was ready to hard reset my HD2. Pffff.....
Tnx for the info conantroutman.

Hi All,
Very weird one this, I hard reset due to installing that virus (3d shoot 'em up thing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650393 ) and have come across a strange issue within Sense.
When I press "Settings" in the start menu (or slide across to it within Sense) I get the HTC settings menu, so far so good.
When I press "All Settings" under 'Menu' it opens the 'Connections' window, not the standard Windows settings, if I close the 'Connections' window, it returns me to the HTC settings menu.
Anyone know where I might be able to change the link, or at least find what the 'Connections' link is, so I may track it down please?
sorry. didn't fully read your post.
Half-asleep.
Please ignore me this time.

No problem.
I've managed to display the "All Settings" icon, albeit from within the Start Menu using the registry:
hklm -> security -> shell -> startinfo - change the "hidesettings" to 0.
I've found from the above, that "cplmain.cpl,19" seems to reference 'Connections', so pointing my search toward that at the moment.
Unless anyone else has any assistance?
Just noticed your post and having suffered also at the hands of the 3d terrorist bastards I thought I'd check mine......guess what.......all settings displays just fine, everythings there and opens up, trying to get out of it though is a different story, pressing "ok" just causes a pause, screen flicker and then same settings screen to reload.
Another problem I'm having since that virus is neither the htc music player or windows media player work at all.
ringtone doesnt play either.
Is that another hard reset I hear approaching?

These stories are tragic disappointments... I cannot believe everything that has surfaced from this TROJAN program. It's unbelievable... because here we thought that such a thing would NEVER happen to any of us.
I think more attention should be paid towards this issue... it's a rather SERIOUS inconvenience for a lot of people.
Hmmm not had any issues with this trojan other than it dialling out, although I did switch off the phone as it was half way through it's hilarious attempt at pissing me off. Media player is fine, sms is fine, email fine, rss reader, shares, weather, in fact the phone is now running better than ever
One things for sure, I reckon open market will be hit hard by this, once bitten twice shy so to speak.

Nah, I'm a glutton for punishment.
I've learnt a hell of a lot about the registry on this thing that I wouldn't have gone near otherwise!
My camera wont work. When i start it up, a message pops up saying: Unable to initialize camera. Failed to set up the camera device. It does the same for the camcorder. Ive tried opening it from its quicklink at home, from the start menu, and in both spots in the pictures and videos tab. Help.

Are you running as Stock or custom rom? Has it worked before? Have you tried hard resetting? Need more input
factory reset
Looks like it is time for a factory reset. Did you mess with the registry at all!?
what do you mean by registry? Also, the only real mod ive done was Cookies home tab.
PS: hard resetting did not work, and yes, it worked a few days ago.
stock and custom roms are like actuall mods to the windows software right?

"Stock ROM" is the software (including Windows Mobile, HTC Sense, and all the factory-installed apps) that was on your phone when you first bought it. Custom ROMs are what are developed here, and replace the stock one with one that's been tweaked or customized in some way.
If you were running anything but the stock ROM, you would know it because the process to put a new one on there is fairly involved (unless you bought a used phone that already had a custom ROM on it...)
Bought my phone new, got it like last week. All and any customizations to my phone were on CAB files.

I have only had this issue once but I reflashed the rom and it was ok. I would try flashing a stock rom and if that doesnt fix it then it maybe a hardware issue and I would take it to a T-mobile store for a replacement
how do i reflash a stock rom, and will it mess anything up? Like my custom home tab, or my programs?

If you did a hard reset then all your mods should not be there. Flashing a stock rom will remove all the modes you have done. was your modes still there after the hard reset?
yes everything was unchanged. And hard resetting is taking out the battery when it is running correct?

No a Hard Reset is holding the volume down and volume up button and then hit the reset button on the back. Keep holding the volume buttons till you get a grey screen and then follow the directions. This will reset your phone to factory. then install your cabs one by one till you find the one that caused the issue
both vol buttons simultaneously??? And that doesnt sound fun, i guess it will be a good idea to back up everything.

Yes both at the same time. it is easier then it sounds. yes it would be a good idea to back everything up and remove your SD card when you do it
its asking for my serial. where do i get that?

It should not be asking for your serial on a hard reset. If you are trying to DL a stock rom, do the Hard reset first, I am 99.9% certin it will fix the camera
If that finger-dance is a little too tricky, you can also do a hard-reset by going to Settings -> All Settings -> System, and then running the "Clear Storage" icon you'll find there. The buttons method is good to know though, in case you need to hard-reset a totally-locked up phone someday

You bet! I still use the hardware method, both because it just "feels" more absolute, and in case I need to be adept at it if I ever can't get into the software, like last time....and the time before...and.. LOL
Hi, once I got my HTC Hero yest, I did a software update automatically on the way home. Do I have the lastest update to my phone? I notice that I have a hard time pressing the "+ new message" for SMS, it does not do anything. Or even then I want to add a widget to the screen, I have a hard time pressing the widget icon, but no issues pressing Program, shortcuts, and folder, just the top most selection.
Same thing happens where It doesnt do anything when pressing the + icon to add a company for the HTC stocks widget
Is there a way to calabrate the screen?

Thank you very much, however I though it would fix my issue of not being able to select new message icon, but I still cant select it.
Wont work for
+ New Message
+ Add Contact
Cant add Widget, but can add program, shortcuts and folders just fine, seems to be a sense issue for the top most "add" icon
seems like it might be a sense issue
Not really a way to calibrate the screen that I'm aware of

Try doing a factory reset, maybe some of those 1's and 0's got lost in the ether.LOL! Of course everything that you've setup on the phone except for your sdcard will be erased. If you need to that Settings>PrivacyFactory Reset. Hope this solves the issue.

Yeah the directions take you to where it says calibrate your screen. Does it help(shrugging shoulders)dunno! Personnally if feel that when you are doin those ota's and driving or moving signal loss and tower changes may give you chance to drop data.IMO

Try something actully a couple of things, first try a battery pull. Then if nothing happens ,try a complete drain of the battery run it til it shuts down then recharge and see what happens.Don't know if it will help. But you never know
How do I know if the verison I have on the Hero on my first post is the same or newer than the one on the HTC sight?

Man, you really should just spend a week or so messing with your phone instead of cluttering up the general section with questions that have all been answered or are easily answered by reading the guide that came with your phone. Not trying to be a ****, but Ive seen u start several threads here in the wrong section. Please use the search finction on the sight, and the user manual for your phone.

You're asking to get spammed.
This is a pubic forum that gets indexed.
Try looking at the Development section of the forum for AOSP or Dev Rom.
The software version that was on my sons hero I just rooted was
2.32.651.7 .Android version 2.1 update 1 . He got that update done at a Sprint store but the system update option under settings should give it to ya. His ran pretty smooth.
Hello,
I was recommended to your site from CNET.
I need help with this. I have a Windows Phone (Samsung Focus) and all of a sudden it has stopped deleting history. I've tried everything.
I slide up the bottom screen in IE to show "tabs, recent, favorites etc..." I tap recent, tap the trash can icon, tap delete at the "are you sure" message and nothing happens.
Then I go into settings>applications>IE>delete history and tap delete at the "are you sure" message and nothing happens again.
I've closed out of the tabs. I've turned off the phone and on again. I've removed the battery and sim card and replaced it. Nothing seems to work.
I've done internet searches and they don't help as well.
Does anyone have any idea on how I can get my phone to delete the IE history again?
Thank you for your help.
Normally these should be deleted when you press [delete history]. I believe there is either a bug (in ROM) or it has something to do with the memory card (if you have one). A hard reset might solve your issue.
Thank you
Thank you for your response. I did have to reset it back to factory settings. It's working better now.
