Internet Browser not responding when connected to mobile network
Sometimes when I open the Internet browser the phone does not load any pages when connected to the Internet over the mobile network. As soon as I connect it to my WiFi, the problem is gone and I can open pages again over the mobile network and WiFi...

That's mean its operator's problem
The Desk Clock was supposed to stay on, but instead the screen blocks and there's no Desk Clock after the screen's time out.
Torch app
It could be nice if they add a Torch app in the next update. Such a shame that the LED is only used for pictures
Gmail Signature
When adding a signature in Gmail the editing box does not expand making it difficult to create a automatic signature

Yea, it would be nice that the Desk Clock stays on. I agree with you. This one is absolutely useless. Shame for such a nice clock.
connection problem on legend
I'm encountering trouble with the connectivity of my legend.
Users from france and belgium are reporting cases when all the connection layer seems ok (connection icon is blinking and all connections seem ok) but in fact no network.
We have to reboot the phone or go to flight mode and come back online to retreive network again.
It seems to impact all kind of connections (I have the problem with WIFI and 3G connection and have no problem with other phones in the same area).
it's quite annoying because for some messaging application you have to go back in the appliaction to see that you're not longer connected.
My biggest issue to date is the the Sync All feature does not actually seem to Sync the weather widget at all. & even if I go into Settings > Accounts & Sync > Sync All - it still does not sync the weather widget. I have to open the Weather App manually to sync. Anyone else having this problem.
Also, how do I reset my default Current Location. It has set mine to my country (Ireland) rather than to my City.

I'm encountering problems (not always) when leaving the home or office WiFi area. The phone doesn't connect to the 3G or GPRS mobile network. Putting it to flight mode or rebooting the Legend solves the problem but it is extremely annoying because you need to double check connectivity issues all the time.

I have exactly the same problem =(
Anyone has a solution?
This is not a huge problem, just a small annoyance to me. In the contacts you have linked with facebook you can choose to have their facebook profile picture as the contact picture or you can choose to use a picture on the phone, but whenever I choose that the contact should have a picture from the phone it just has that picture for a short period and then it reverts back to the picture from facebook.
Anyone know of a solution to this except unlinking the facebook profile?
1. Im really desperate for something to get my led on the back to burn.
You cant even film with the light on.
2. My alarm and timer dont ring with the screen off, havent found a fix yet. I'll have to get an egg timer app
[edit] I actually found out today that I have a special legend phone, and that this alarm/timer bug is only my problem. No one else has this?
About the wifi problem, my downloads get stuck..
But the easiest way to temporarily fix it is to turn your wifi on and off.
Ive put the Power Control widget [android] on the 2nd screen on which u can turn all power sucking functions on and off with the push of a button.
Hello.
Maybe just for me, but does not work GoogleEarth.

Vabration and ringing problem
I've just realised that the ringing and the vibration disappears after some time, even if I leave the phone just to vibrate it doesn't, but if I reboot the phone it goes back to normal.
I've missed a lot of phone calls just because of this.
Does anyone have this problem?
Thanks
Another bug, "people widget" all contacts disappear from widget after rebooting. Some of the photos (facebook ones) in people widget keep disappearing.
Friend stream application: if I go to accounts & sync/general settings/account settings in facebook it should show sync frequency and notifications,etc, but only sync frequency shows.
Sound feedback when typing is loud.
Or is it just me????

My 8125 is about a month old now and it is great. It’s my first experience with push email and it’s wonderful. I do have a few problems that I can not find a fix for. I have read many forums and have come to the conclusion that these features are either broke or were meant to work incorrectly.
1.) If you leave Pocket Outlook as the foreground task the 8125 will not notify you in any way that you have a new message. You have to turn the device on to check for new email. If Pocket Outlook is not running or its running in the background the phone will beep and the orange light will blink. If the phone is in standby it should notify you of a new message no matter what.
2.) The Bluetooth LED is always blinking. I always use a Bluetooth headset and it’s very common when I am driving to leave iNav GPS software running that uses a Bluetooth GPS. There is no reason for me to ever turn Bluetooth off so I do not need to be notified it is on or off. It would be nice if I could change the Bluetooth LED to notify me of voice mail or a missed call and the orange light can be used for new push email or SMS/MMS messages.
3.) When you open the keyboard it should light up. If you are in a dark room you have to open the keyboard the press a key to get it to light up. I also have not found a way to change how long it stays on for. There are a few reg hacks that claim they change the time but they do not work on my 8125.
4.) Every time I use WiFi I have to change my internet profile so it does not use a proxy. When you turn the WiFi radio on it should automatically change that info. When you turn WiFi off it should change it back automatically.
The following two have nothing to do with the 8125 but if someone has a fix it would be helpful.
5.) When you use push email your IT department can force a policy on the phone to ask for a password every 30 min of inactivity. This is a real pain if you are using a GPS. I found a reg hack that lets me change it to 24 hours but the policy gets forced on the device once a day and I have to run the reg hack again. Has anyone found a way around this?
6.) iNAV GPS Software has a bug that makes the voice navigation on all WM5 devices go very very very slow. The fix is to turn off the GPRS radio. When you do that all your push emails do not come in. iNAV claims they are working on a fix but I was curios if anyone found a way around this issue.
If anyone has any advice on these items it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
SeanH
There is no fix for the keyboard light issue. It is a flaw in the way it was built and is a hardware-activated light, so registry keys won't do anything.
Sorry, but that's all I have for you.

I don't have a fix but just work around. What i am doing is to create a separate connection for wi-fi (no proxy). When you need to use wi-fi instead of gprs, you can simply select this connection from settings-->connections-->advanced-->select networks. Hence you don't have to remove the proxy settings for gprs everytime you use wi-fi. It takes a few steps but still easier than add/remove proxy settings. Hope this helps.

Just touch the bottom right key or the spacebar and the keyboard backlight will turn on without affecting anything else. I've heard complaints about this but I can't see why this is an issue. OTOH, the timing of the backlight is another matter, and it should be adjustable. Alas, it appears not to be.

I'm using iGuidance v3 and haven't noticed this, but GPRS isn't being used. I'm not sure how to enable/disable it, but in Settings > Connections > GPRS it is set to "Chap Authentication." When upgrading firmware I do not auto-load the Ext. ROM programs and have only a few loaded manually, so the GPRS functionality may not be fully implemented. Needless to say, I am not subscribing to internet service at this time.

In a dark area it’s hard to see the keyboard until it lights up. I use the right arrow to get this display to light up. When you press the space bar it will enter a space in what ever app is active. Not turning the light on when the keyboard opens is a design flaw. Most people open the keyboard to use it. As soon as you press any key the light comes on so you can see the keys. It just makes sense to turn the keyboard light on when you open it so you can start typing.

Hey,
I'm experiencing a strange problem with my hermes.
The device wakes up often without a reason. The effect is the following:
. device wakes up
. the connectivity icon changes from 3G to H, means HSDPA connection built up
. spb gprs monitor shows different amount of data transfers
If I close the data connection manually with the red hook on button, the effect doesnt appear any more. So I guess this in an inbound connection made to my device. But how can that be???
Does WM wakes up on inbound connections? How can I find out, which data is being transfered? Are there any network monitoring tools for WM?
Is it right, that to wake up the device from a program that makes an outbound connection an entry in the notification list has to exist? There is nothing. No notification that could wake up the device.
Need help!
Device seeks automatically the strongest signal around. If you stay in an area with both types of signal you will find frquent flipping in and out of 3g UMTS. You may not have experienced this but it can also lead to the dropping of calls also.
You can use Danielherrerro's bandswitch application aka commmgrpro that allows you to easily choose which bands to turn on off.
Mike
I think you misunderstood.
Chaning the band doesnt normaly lead to download traffic.
Btw. I selected gsm instead of gms & umts in the phone options, so the device cant switch. Still waking up and producing some traffic. This effect wasnt there til last week.
Mine does this because it checks for mail every 15 minutes, do you have mail scheduled???
good luck.
Oggy.

Gprs Today Plugin
<seems like an 'in-topic' post>
anyone have any good suggestions on a today-plugin that shows wifi/gprs connection? My theme does not show the connection icon (3g,g,e,etc.), so I was looking for somethig that would show with conenction I was using as a today plugin. Something like the one shoen here in custels rom.
I would use spb gprs monitor, but for some reason all spb applications show this really annoying this line at the top of my screen, so I have given up on spb. any other ideas short of dumping custels ROM? thanks
Definitly dont think thats an application
Problem occurs only if a data connection is still active. If I disconnect manually no wake up occurs.
Seems device is waken up from an external source?!
I´ve got this strangest problem with my HD2. When I´ve only got a 3G connection I´m only able to surf the web with opera and check mails with the built in mail app. Marketplace, facebook and Google maps isn't even to think of, it just doesn´t work. These works when connected to a wifi network.
Anyone who knows what the problem might be?

i don't know the answer but reading this guy's answer really annoyed me.
No automatic connection
I have the same problem. Twitter, weather, opera, nothing seems to work, except mail.
Data connection seems to be "frozen" in 3G mode. I have to take manual actions to "unfreeze".
I start conn manager. Phone and data connection are shown On.
I turn On airplane mode. Phone and data connection are turned off.
I turn Off airplane mode. Phone is turned On, data connection still Off.
I turn data connection on.
The phone connects to Vodafone live and HSDPA mode is displayed. All works well again.
Anyone have a solution? The "old" Always-On registry setting maybe?

Hi guys,
in the building where I work, the signal doesn't reach inside, but I do have the possibility to connect the HD2 to the internet using Wi-Fi.
I can go on any web page using any browser, but my HD2 won't never update the Meteo or the Stock Action screen unless I get a 3G connection, which by way costs me heaps of money.
I would like to know if there is any way to sincronyze the Data Services also with the Wi-Fi connection.
Thanks,
Alberto.
mmmm strange... it seems to work for me fine... let me check my settings

Alberto,
I can reproduce the problem. With the phone off and Wi-Fi enabled, no update is received for stock and weather.
ccristal
My HD2 updates only using the phone line (instead of the free Wi-Fi), and as in my work place my operator doesn't reach directly, I wasted a day worth of salary in less than a week!
Any help on HOW TO FORCE the HD2 to USE FIRST Wi-Fi connection, or ONLY Wi-Fi connection to update will be really appreciated!
Been looking and still couldn't find any clue.
Same problem here and by the way, try turning off the phone connection and downloading an email attachment using wifi only, download speeds are REALLY slow - I suspect it is still using the cellular connection even though the phone says it is off
i'm not sure if this is the same problem as you, but my phone always updated using data connection instead of wi-fi, you had to turn off the automatic updates for weather, email etc. But sometimes it wont update my weather using wi-fi it just says unable?
..got the same problem, cant update the weather with the wifi only..i disabled the automatically update and then turned on the wifi but still nothing..
No problems here updating weather or stocks by wifi...
Hi, can you hare your setting with us?

Hey..i found an alternative way to update the weather in my city through wifi and it finally works!
Go to weather app and just add your city as a new location..after that go to your home screen and tap on the world clock where you 'll see: ''my location'' and your city recently added..just tap it to your city and thats it.
That works for me.
Thanks!
Let me try this and I'll tell you if it works also for me.
Hi there.
You should check on the "Configure Wireless Network" page if the combo " Connects to:" is set to "The internet" instead of some other network

YEp, and having the phone on silent does not make things better either...
Fix
i used registry editor and changed the value of calldrop from p(play) to none.
Rene,
when you hear 3 tones after call finish - is bluetooth activated in this moment for your x2? For example, do you use BT connection to your X2 in your car (handsfree)? Do you think that there is some special requirements for BT headset using to generate this sound on main unit if call was finished?
when you see bad power consumption results - is wifi activated in communication manager in your X2? I think that if you activate wifi - it can be reason for huge additional current if unit can't find appropriate wifi network for some reason.
For example, I found that if I activate wifi - I always should connect unit to charger every day. Then I found that this is specific issue only for me. The specific way of my wifi using is followed - I use 2 different wifi connections to my X2 (on home - secured network through router and in office - open wifi network). I do have connection issues every morning in office and every evening in home. Even if my X2 reports that it's connected to office network - I can see in status bar in Today screen that it's trying to conect again and again - and also I can't use browser or Goggle maps because no data connection is available through wifi. After I power off/on my unit - it can really connect to office wifi network and I can use browser and receive mails e t.c. When I return to home, I see that unit still be connected to office network - but it's impossile. And again - I can't use browser or receive mails by using my X2. After I power off/on unit - it can connect to home network. I can't fix issues in office and in home just turn off/on wifi in communication manager - issue still be actual after this. So, what I do every day - I turn off/turn on my unit every morning after arrive to office and again power on/ power off unit every evening when arrive home So I should spent 2 minutes every morning and 2 minutes every evening to reboot unit. On other hands I think that this is step to avoid more serious issues after couple of days of Windows using - you know usially you can see performance degradation after 1 week of using of any WinMob device - looks like this is result of lot of memory leaks, memory corruptions inside MSFT SW.
if we are talking about unexpected password issue or issue when you can't unlock unit by LOCK icon sliding left or right after press on power on button - for me it looks like memory is corrupted in MSFT lock app. As result some password is requested even if user never activates this password for lock screen. But it's clear that in reality, unit doesn't story in memory any password to compare with entered one - otherwise after power off/on sequency unit still ask password from you. But as I see in the same situation with my X2 - after I remove/insert battery and power on unit - I never see again this issue just after unit goes to Idle.
I think that memory, which is used by MSFT Lock code, can be corrupted only in scope of the same Windows process (of cause if memory is isolated for all processes in WinMob - I hope it's true) - so only other MSFT code can corrupt this memory. Do you know about any public forum where we can ask help from MSFT to see in this issue? I never see that Aaron wrote anything about any contacts in MSFT - but I think that MSFT should be also responsible for any product if Windows logo is applyed to device with WinMob?
To reduce the probability of this issue I never use AutoLock and always lock unit by click on Lock icon in Today panel or by long press on right HW kwy (with key sign).

thank youuu
wifi
Hi! I have a similar issue with the wifi that PanichUS described.
The phone sees the network, tells that it's available, but I am not able to connect to it (so I can not do internet browsing, read the emails, etc.)
This happened to me while switching from one network to another, which were in two different places (and the phone was showing the network still available of the place I have already left). But in my case rebooting the phone did not help.
This is not the only case. The same thing also happens to me after I use bluetooth. The phone is connected to the wifi network (I could do internet browsing, etc.), I use bluetooth, and after that I can no more recover the connection. Again it shows that the network is available, but I can not connect to it.
The only thing which helped by now was restarting my house router.
Is the MR2 the last release of the firmware by date? I have bought my phone recently, and for me it seems that it was updated: I have radio, and the theme with grey background (X2 Titan) was activated in the very beginning.
MR2 is last update for X2. Don't wait another update.
Try turn off Wifi in Communication manager before power off and turn on Wifi back in Communication manager after power on.
Wifi
I have discovered that in fact I don't have problem to connect when using an open network, while with the protected one is always an issue.
Reboot of the phone doesn't change anything even if before doing it I switch off wifi in the connections manager and delete all the settings. Nothing - only reset of the router what helps.
I also tried to use other software (Wifi Monster) - the same thing.
The phone is really wonderful, it really has it's spirit with all these panels and generally the interface, but the wifi issue is really annoying!
My advice - don't install Resco Photo manager on X2.
Great app but works very bad on X2.
I instaled older version Resco.Photo.Manager 7.03. This work good.
Wisbaradvance 4.05 is verry unstable,problems and problems.
