Hi guys,
I just want to ask if you have experienced the same problem.
After buying the mega everything worked quite fine. I could receive calls while browsing in the web (edge), the scrollbar didn't popup after touching it and also opera didn't zoom while i'm scrolling up and down.
After a while (4months) opera started to zoom always, when I'm trying to scroll. During this time I didn't install new software or tweaked my phone. To get rid of this feature I made a hard reset. Now a lot changed and opera still zooms when I want to scroll ;(
Also nobody can reach me while I'm accessing the internet and the scrollbar in windows mobile changed in general (I liked the old one more, but this is the smallest problem).
As I asked before: did this happen to someone else, too? Because I really don't understand what changed my original rom. I just installed both updates from htc, which is my only explanation for this behavior. But I don't think those changed the rom files and that you have to reinstall them after each hard reset.
Cheers,
km
mine is from tmobile uk, heard people complain after install the 'set mp3 as ringtone' update from htc site, i never did the update, but updated to 1.33...rom, you may try it

Hi,
I flashed my XDA Neo with the latest Dopod ROM but I lost my HomeZone app. Can someone upload it here? Thanks!
home zone o-2 de
Hi,
Did home zone application ever worked for you? I had my neo with german rom and home zone application never displayed home icon or any visual indication that I was in home zone, when in fact I was in the home zone area. And yes application was loaded.
It worked on my magician (xda mini), but not on prophet (neo).
As far as actual application cab. I've seen it somewhere on this forum an attachment with german ext rom folder. Try that.

Hi,
here you go. For me it works with the XDAneo. The icon only shows when I klick on the "Phone-Connection" Button. Not the best solution in my opinion, but it works.
Bye,
Sven
Very strange :?
Installed the app, works, says that HZ is running, but also "No coordinates received". And no little house anywhere
HZ problem
I've got the same problem.. I think there is something else you have to install from xda neo ext rom.. I've tried installing everything though, it didn't fix the problem. This issue accure after the rom upgrade to WWE from German. But to be honest, the HZ didn't work for me even before upgrade. I didn't have a problem with coordinates though. It just wouldn't display the home zone icon..
Yeah man, doesn't work for me either. What do you think, if I just wrote to O2 customer support and explained that I didn't install their crappy extended ROM, would they be so kind as to give me step by step instructions on how to get my home zone icon?
HZ and o2 tech reps
Not a chance! : ) At least not with O2 in Germany. Sorry for bursting your bubble, man. I’ve called them before, several times intact. I’ve spoken to a few different tech reps regarding this issue on few different occasions. Their only solution is a hard reset! They only go by the basic manual they have for this, where’s the only solution for fixing anything is hard reset. These guys there have no idea how to reset PPC without manual!
On one occasion I’ve asked them about “English WM” ( WWE Rom), since my previous phone (Magician) was in German, (that is when I was plain uneducated about flashing this phones and etc.) and guess what their answer was?! They’ve said that flashing the phone or putting any localizer third party software was going to kill the device without chance of restoration! I mean c’mon, how smart is that? So much for the tech support!
But any way, you try that, may be you’ll have more luck! May be they just wanted to prevent me from half flashing my phone or incurring any other errors to the point of no recovery on my own. But I have half flashed my prophet few times, had RUU stopping with all kinds of errors half way trough the process, leaving the phone with no rom Installed, and still, managed to restore the rom. It only cost me my fingers that I bit of in the process and tons of beer for the recovery : ) any way, good luck! Let me know if you find the solution.
By the way, you can ask them to enable voice indication of home zone. You’ll here Voice indicator “Home” when dialing from home zone. It’s kind of inconvenient, but it’s the only solution for me right now.
Unfortunately, aleksandr is absolutely right. The German O2 XDA support is not just poor - they disinform you! Come on, I know much more stuff about those devices yet than those guys, and I've had a PPC for only a couple of months. The "home" voice is the only solution for me too so far.
Awww, come on! I was kidding, that's why I put a smiley behind my post and used a somewhat sarcastic choice of words!
So for Home Zone voice confirmation I just call the hotline and ask them to enable it? That would work for me I guess. A simple icon would be better though... Sometimes I wish I was smart and could just write my own little programs!
HZ working now!
Hey guys. The other day I had nothing better to do then taking apart Neo’s german extended rom content and tried the home zone application on my prophet (wwe, dopod 818 pro rom) I’ve installed Home Zone cab posted by Sauron1978de and then RilGSM patch from the O2 (can be found in german O2 extended rom content. And funny thing it worked! I tried it a hundred times before and it never worked up until now. Just make sure you install rilgsm patch last. It does the soft reset at the end. I have home icon now in my connections notification bubble. Let the pda run for a few minutes until it receives new sms with coordinates and you should be all set. Make sure you have home zone short cut in your start up folder.
Good luck!
Hi!
It works for me too! But I would like to see this icon on the top of the screen without pressing any buttons.
icon at the top bar
yeah, me too! no luck on that though..
do you know how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP" which appears on the top of the screen?
how to get rid of the sting "HZDisplayDataSMP"
No idea. never had this. may be by unchecking "Receive channel list" in Phone settings - More- Broadcast Channels- Settingds.
But by doing this, you also will no longer recieve new coordinates for HZ.
But again, this is MAY BE, as I don't really know what I'm talking about here I don't have this problem to play with.
i too have HZDisplayDataSMP popping up as the active app after waking up. most annoying, though pressing OK or red phone button gets rid of it. still, as i said, annoying. would like to know if there's some way to disable it being displayed, without turning off the "Broadcast Channels"-enabled option, as the HZ app seems to receive and use these broadcasts to enable the HZ display. well, that's my experience, anyways...
so, in short, anyone know how to hide an app from being displayed? or maybe forcing it to always run in the background?
hey guys, don not know, whether the problem may cause on other pages... but there is an issue with the website studivz.net.
I wrote more than three times to the sony ericsson-support...but they answered me to make a hard-reset and use opera mobile instead of internet explorer.
I thought they're just kidding me...because I wrote them that there are few people having the same problem USING OPERA on studivz.net...
ohere you may see the problem with a black col that becomes bigger and bigger each time I press any link on the page...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cKCJ25a6zE
perhaps anybodyy of you know how to work around...
got the same problem on meinvz and other pages aswell.
just keep in mind ... the opera version u are using is still BETA. it has plenty of bugs (hardcoded text block formatting f.e.)
well ... we'll see what future versions and browser bring here.
I'm trying to contact opera...but there seems to be no support-mailaddress available?!
I sent the link to the German Sony Ericsson-support as well...hope they'll answer seriously...
and I noticet the support-team of studiVZ.

Does it need flash or anything? I can't see anything using the dev tools
Have you tried netfront browser?
the 3.5 "concept version" is one of my favourites, not to everyones taste but might be worth a try.
http://www.access-company.com/products/mobile_solutions/netfrontmobile/browser/35_wm_tp.html
Obviously leaving a message on the opera forums would be a good thing as well.
I found a support-mail-contactmailer on the webpage of opera and informed them about this issue. sent the link to this video as well.
perhaps I'll give the netFront a try...but I'd more like to use the opera...
the page doesn't use flash...but ajax. for opening message-windows (in the video you may see, it doesn't work with opera...)
well, I installed the new official rom and this issue has gone.
works find now. but ajax-messages won't open at all.
is there anything I can do?
and I hate that you have to zoom in before you are able to click a link/input-field in the new build of opera.
hope they make this "feature" checkable per box in the settings.
or anybody may find out, what to change in the registry.
another fine thing would be a tutorial that describes how to set opera opening tabs in the background instead of making new tabs active.
especially on ebay this is bugging me.
and at last I think it would be great to set the identity of opera as desktop-browser. I hate google-, gmx-, or especially ebay-mobile... if I could choose the identity of opera all would be fine
Does anyone know how to fix this? Or what's caused this?
Really don't want to have to hard reset and reinstall apps one by one!
Referring to the "Call Hi..." bit on the bottom left. It's overlaying the video call toggle.
Cheers.
got the same problem, appeared after installing the hotfixes just 5 minutes ago.
I got that too after the hotfix install. I uninstalled the hotfixes but it still shows there.
Now if I try to install again it says "please use the correct version to install this hotfix"
I guess it didnt actually uninstall it
Installed that hotfix as well & can't reinstall it after uninstall.
Just looking through the hotfix exe's to see what its changed.
same here now i have to do hard reset?
Have the same problem.
I restored to an earlier backup.
Because even after UnInstalling the hot fix the text remains.
No probleme on french rom whit this hotfix .
Same as everyone else. Just noticed it when I went to make a phone call.
\Windows\Incall_02_B.bmp
\Windows\phcanhtc.dll
\Windows\rilphone.dll
\Windows\HTCLTB.png
\Windows\18c460d8_manila
These are the files from the two hotfixes.
If you:
1. Uninstall both hotfixes
2. Do a full backup with SPB backup or similar.
3. Do a hard reset.
4. Restore the backup but customise it so as to not restore the above five files.
It should go back to normal. Worked for me anyway.

Also no problem with German Rom and hotfix
Did UK users install UK version?
Can I check if the UK users experiencing problems downloaded the SLIDER fix from the HTC UK website or from the post in the forum which pointed to the HTC German website.
Please could you all respond.
Hello,
I am a UK user with ROM 1.14. Downloaded from the UK site from the European server. I have the "Call Hi" problem, but to be honest, I use the call history more than video calling, so apart from the icon looking bad, its done me a favor. If it was possible to make just that button look better, I would be very happy with its functionality. Video calling is still accessible from the menu.
same problem here.
the hot fixes are system fixes, when you uninstall, you are only removing the entries from the "remove programs" list, but the changes are not reversed. that's why it is not fixing the problem.
my only question is: which of the hot fixes caused this? I installed all three, and I know it's not the system freeze fix, because i installed that long time ago.

Hi Guys
I agree with Juggler258, it looks ugly but for me this is better functionality as well as I do not use video call! Peverse or what!!
OK - tried this a few times and unsure whether the slider is any better.

The slider hotfix.
i made a new thread about this problem, sorry about that.
It is annoying cause i want to make Video calls but now i can't because of this stupid hotfix.
Howcome HTC didn't saw this. I mean it's not some hidden bug - it's on the main screen come on.
@OFFTOPIC
The other day I sent their support an email about Flash and futer touchflo development. The answer was so lame I still don't have any clue.
It's not their job about flash,... they don't know at least not in the helpdesk blablabla.
Nokia offered me cool firmware updates and improvements - I hope HTC works that way too. Not just hotfixes.
Apparently HTC fixed this issue with the hotfix and video call problem. See this post.
EDIT: I just tried it and it works fine. Link to this HTC hotfix here.
Ok so i just bought my new HD2 Just arrived last week, And Yah its freezing like most are, I have heard numerous fixes to this I guess flashing Roms or installing apps. I dont know if this thread is in the right category, but can someone help me fix the phone so it doesnt freeze everyday when i use texts and run smoother overall? I dont know how to flash roms or tweak any of these replies can someone help me please? I tried Custom window home tabs app but it got rid of the home screen so i took it out.. please someone help me .... i have yahoo, aim and msn messenger email or just reply on here ? thanks guys
try HR-hard reset.
1.turn your phone off
2.press and hold volume up&down buttons same time and turn your phone on
it will reset and restore it to the factory settings
This should help
I was in the same position 4 months ago... it's a steep learning curve!
In no particular order:
1. Get your phone and PC hooked up with activesync.
2. Learn how '.cab' files work - you basically just transfer them to your phone (I use activesync) and run them to install various things.
3. Get Resco Registry - this is a registry explorer which I find very intuitive and useful for changing registry values.
4. Have a look around this site, notably the tweaks threads, and see what you like.
5. When you are comfortable with the handset, look into upgrading your ROM. I started on Vodafone 1.43 ROM, but have since upgraded to Vodafone 1.66 ROM. It is very easy to upgrade to official ROMs (at least it was for Vodafone) - I image the manufacturers will give you a step-by-step guide.
6. Get Cookie's Home Tab!
Can you tell what ROM/Radio/Manila version you are currently on?
(Go to settings/about phone/software information)

I don't know where you got the idea that most phones are freezing, because if that was the issue this phone would not be nearly as popular as it is.
* If you got the phone from your provider go to them.
* Try a hard reset, make no changes (tweaks, software installs) and see if the problem is gone. If so then something you did is causing the problem.
* Find a stable ROM in the development forum and learn to flash, it's very easy.
Hello all, I am posting this because everyone here is complaning to each other that their SMS doesn't work and they are waiting for someone to do something about it. Well one problem, I just called HTC and they "had no clue that this was an issue with the phone". Well I know I cant be the only one to call but apparently they need more of us to contact them so every tech support person there knows exactly what is wrong with this phone.
Well thats where we all come in... CALL their Tech support at 866.449.8358 and let them know how bad the problem really is. There are enough of us here that we can get them off of their backsides and start figuring this problem out with a real fix.
Please take the 20 minuites it takes to let them know that we will not sit here and deal with our 500 dollar phone not working like it should.
i don't have that problem anymore, IF i use the normal keyboard, i DO HAVE it if i use swype. I have grown accustomed to it as swype is something that i installed thats not put in a stock UK ROM. Once i installed the stock WWE 1.66 rom the sms lag issue with the default keyboard was NO longer there.
I take it your not using swype?
Dan
No swype is even worse on mine. I know this isnt just mine and my girls phone. There are over three pages of seperate threds that state the same problem over and over and HTC acts like my call was the first time they heard about it!
nothing????? This is why it will never get fixed. Unless one of the people here decides to devote their whole week to writing a whole new program!
lag
I have european hd2, using on att edge . I had problems until i started deleting my messages regular. & also set to delete the deleted messages immediately, "recycle bin" I use swype, no problems. Might be just cause I'm not 3g? Don't know?
If they don't know it is because they don't talk within the company, cause I have contacted them several times. They just didn't want to admit the problem. So if not admitting to the problem = not knowing it exists - then yes, maybe they don't know...
HD2 works fine with small number of messages. you need to delete them from inbox and deleted items every few days.
