Hi, I installed HTC Home and HTC home customiser on my orbit2. Everything looks fine and it works okay until i come to update it or change options with htc customiser.
I run the customiser and it says disabling htc home but the program stays on the screen.
When i go tto today and untick it, it still stays on the screen. The only way i can do it is by unticking in today, then reset device, then change options, then reset device , then tick it back in today, then reset device. Very annoying u think?
Anyone got the same problem? Or anyone point me to the two programs that work please. (if they do).
Also problem with tomtom, that only shows on screen sometimes.
It seems when i tick/untick things to show/notshow on today screen, they dont refresh. So they stay on screen as they were without changes.
thanks so much.
Stu.
Hi,
After a couple of days playing with the HTC touch HD I noticed that I can not lock the device anymore by long pressing the end key. I have looked into the settings and it clearly states that long pressing the end key should lock the device.
whenever I long press the key I see the some screen refresh but the device is not locked.
If I switch off Touchflo3D and show the device lock on the today screen, then the device gets locked. Could this be a bug in touchflo3D?
I would hate to have to perform a hard reset just to fix this issue...
If anyone knows a solution, please let me know.
Edit: well, I found the reason why this happens. Once you setup a password for your device, it stops locking the device using long press end button. It sucks, but I can live with it...
Looks like a hardreset is the only way to go.

If I perform a hard rerset, will I still have all the applications that came standard with the like touchflo3d and google maps? or will I need to reinstall some of the applications myself?
You will have them. It will reset to factory settings, original ROM plus all installations HTC chose to put on the HD.
this hasnt worked on mine from the moment i got it, so i suppose a hard reset isnt going to fix things (?).

in my case it was working fine....until it stopped working. Looks like a bug in touchflo3d, because you can still use the default device lock from the today screen. that one works...

yes that one works when you turn touchflo off but the touchflo end key press never worked.
Can someone confirm that you no longer get a choice of action for the Long Press End Key, i.e. it locks the device and that's it. On the diamond you are able to choose an action or choose the display choice list.
Thanks, cojo

You can configure it. standard it will lock your device, but you can also choose to show a choice list.

A-ha...found it, they moved it to the Button setting (not one for reading the manual). Now...what about the 'Lock all buttons on device lock' setting?!

This is the same with me and I've not touched push e-mail or exchange server settings. I've only had the phone for 36 hours so not done much at all. The first thing I went to try and do was lock the phone and it didn't work. I'm reluctant to do a hard reset as it didn't work out of the box.
Did you try a hard reset? Did it solve the problem?
no i didnt try a hard reset,didnt think it was worth it just try to get the lock to work.
Has anyone else had the same problem with it not working right from the start and tried a hard reset? If so, did it solve the problem?

I performed a hard reset and then it worked again. But after setting up exchange, it stopped working. The device lock on the today screen still works though, but not from touchflow3d
I decided to go for it and do a hard reset. The device lock still didn't work. All I had done was follow the original setup screens after the reset. During this I set up Lock with a simple PIN and to prompt for it after an hour of inactivity. If I remove the settings from Lock I can then use Device Lock on long press End key but I can't use both.
This is rather frustrating as I had simple PIN (paranoid as had an Ef stolen a few months ago so at least this would stop them accessing any info stored directly on the device as they would have to do a hard reset to clear it) and Device Lock set up on my Elf which worked absolutely fine.
Has anybody managed to get both working together on the HD? I use the Device Lock to stop any buttons being pressed when I don't want them to be and the PIN so it's harder for people to access any of my personal info if the phone is stolen (not that I intend for this to happen again!). I really would like both to work together!
Just spoken to CS at Orange and they have no idea if this issue with only able to have either Lock or Device Lock working at any one time is specific to my device or whether everyone is affected. If anybody is able to try and let me know their results I'd be grateful as I don't know yet whether I need to send the phone back as faulty.

Just confirmed that removing the password re-enables the device lock. Nice find!
I am on Vodafone.
I assume that one of the manila files in \Windows is checking a registry entry. I wonder if it is possible to make a change that allows both functions to co-exist.

Thanks for the reply. I guess that confirms that it's not specific to my device! As I mentioned before both functions did co-exist quite happily on the original Touch (Elf) so it is possible. I wonder if it is related to the newer style TouchFlo3D and if anyone experienced the same issues on the Diamond or the Touch Pro?
I hope it is something that could be sorted with "tweaks" to certain files or registry entries. If anyone finds out how to solve it I for one would be very grateful!

Did your exchange policy force you to setup a password? it appears to be the problem. When you setup the device initially with a password, then you cannot lock the device anymore using the long press of the end button. Device lock in today screen always work, the problem is the long press of end button, that stops working as soon as you have a passwaord set up.
hi all,
after insalling touchflo detatcher
my taskmananger on the today screen on the top right corner
has dissappeared.
tried many things but it dont comes back
pitty, cause it was darn handy.
after uninstalling the detatcher,
still got the same problem
anyone can help me out?
thnx!
Turn it on from the settings menu.
Start ---> Settings --> System ---> Task manager
Then select Button on the bottom and enable "Enable Quick Menu on Today Screen".
thnx a lot
i thought it had something to do with the detatcher
No Problem.
Yeah I had this problem too, but it seemed to come back after a soft reset. Weird things have been happening since I installed the detatcher.

yep. here too.
sometimes the phone cant take it i think
i've got a lot of cpu usage after installing the detatcher
whats the detacher? sounds like a soul consumer.
it seperates your today screen and the manila app.
so you can use both, your today screen and your touchflo.
I've searched everywhere and haven't come across anyone with similar problems. When I boot up, everything is working fine, can see the big beautiful clock and use the touchflo slider at the bottom. After a few minutes, the screen just freezes at whatever screen it was on last. Touch interface doesn't work at all. Only when I click the start menu hard button and bring up the start menu does the touch screen work again. The thing is, I can't go back to the home screen again. I can only use the phone's functions from the start menu, which is very annoying. Also, when I launch an application, everything is fine, but when I exit it, the screen remains at whatever it was showing at the last view. Again, have to click to the start menu hard button to bring up any functionality and never see the home screen again.
Anyone know whats wrong?
Also: Using Miri v24, Radio 2.15.
I had a similar problem with Miri v24. I gave up in the end and installed Arthemis ROM instead. Works fine now.
Out of curiosity, are you using CHT?
Sounds like somethings causing Sense/Manila to crash.......
Try uninstalling CHT (if your using it)
Or hard reset.....
If you can still use the start menu then its not a "screen problem"....
it sounds like a software problem that should be sorted by a hard reset..
hope that helps

Nope. Fresh install of Miri with nothing added. I'll try Arthemis and see how it goes. Thanks!
Hi,
I have an odd issue. I got a Legend as a loaner for my samsung SGS i9000m (don't get it...).
Anyhow the phone died from low battery last night and now when I turn it on I get the lockscreen fine (screen in full colour etc etc) but when I unlock it the screen goes black. I cann't get any menu to come up either unless I've used a program that I have accessed some other way. For example I can access e-mail if a notification shows up but I can't use it on its own because I cannot get to any home pages and I can access search from the buttons and the keyboard from the buttons but nothing else.
I've tried a battery/sd card/sim out reboot but no dice. I'll try another sd card in a bit but it seems like the sense ui is not loading or something.
Any thoughts or suggestions. I can't access market or any apps so please keep that in mind with suggestions. It was not rooted or modified in any way as its just a loaner.
Thanks, G
If somehow you can get access to "manage application", you could try doing a clear data/clear on HTC Sense and see if that brings back the home screen.
Or go to http://market.android.com and get ADW Launcher or Launcher Pro (remote Install)
And/or try to do a factory reset?
Thanks

Thanks for the reply but its now in a bag waiting to go to the post office. I told them not to bother and send another. I tried to get to the menus but no dice, and since I could not use the dialer, even any phone line commands I think would not have worked.
I had thought about looking into a remote install but thats too much effort to learn for a phone I was only going to have for a few weeks and it may not have worked still. Went back to just a plain old cell for now....

1. Go to market.android.com
2. Find LauncherPro/ADWLauncher.
3. Click install.
Was it really that hard? |:
At the most all you have to do is login to your GMail account.
Ohh- right from the phone, Duh!
Yeah that might have worked but I was thinking on the PC and then having to push it to the phone somehow.
Yeah could have tried that but its in an envelope now...
