How to get Zune features unblocked on my HD2? - HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an

While I was using V1 yukiXDA and Xbmods rom, I loved the way Zune loaded up artist/song information of the song. The backgrounds changed to match whats playing on the artists page, I could hear audio samples from the Zune Marketplace.
However when I upgraded to V2, I somehow got regionally blocked. Ie it doesn't do any of that anymore. The dead giveaway of that is that in this image, my phone only has "Zune Account Settings" and nothing else.
How can I get Zune features reactivated without creating a new Live ID as I actively use that email acc. At least the live backgrounds
Perhaps there is some registry hack for it
EDIT: Maybe something like this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1237033 ?

Bump? Anyone?
I'm willing to ruin my registry to get this to work ....

did you do anything different when loading v1 and v2 like set country at the first screen after boot. US is default and you have to reboot to continue if you change it. Perhaps you left it in V1 and changed to India in v2.
On the thread you linked to, someone mentions changing the PC default region to US, have you tried this?
Good luck

Well there is no country selection option in the phone settings afaik but I suppose MS came to know that my phone is Indian cause my Live ID was an Indian one. But that never was an issue, Connect with Zune worked perfect in the past while I waited on NoDo and even used v1 of the Xbmod-YukiXDA rom. It just suddently vanished from my phone ....
Yes I did that. Now I've got the Zune PC software with all its Social/Marketplace glory up and running but with no changes in my phone

leave it plugged in to pc + zune, it may take a bit of time.
On first start up of WP7 after flashing ROM, region settings come up as mentioned above (FIRST boot or after hard reset (settings/about)) was anything different then between v1 and v2? if it persists you may want to hard reset the phone and leave it on US region. Unless somebody else knows different?

Are you experiencing any BUGS with HD2 ROM 3.14 update?

I believe there are significant HD2 users who have updated thier handsets with (official) ROM 3.14. Following your ROM update are you experiencing any bugs? If yes, let us report them here and simultaneoulsy suggest any solution (if so).
I have FIVE HD2 handsets, between me and my colleagues which we bought simultaneously (it was with ROM 1.48). Four of us updated to ROM 3.14.720.3 on 5th November and ALL the four of us are witnessing these similar bugs, which suggests that it is an anomaly with the said ROM 3.14.
I am listing few important such bugs (and possible solution) here:
1). "Weird scrolling": This is withnessed specially while scrolling programs (>Start). And it CAN BE CORRECTED with suitable registry tweaks. (Its here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=629388)
2). YELLOW TINCH: Camera NOW has a YELLOW tinch, which is even more conspicuous with AUTO FLASH on. Also I observed that the picture quality is NOT appreciable if ISO settings are AUTO (as compared to ROM 1.48, with similar settings!!!). Lowering the ISO to 100, does help, however yellow tinch is not yet solved.
3). The Long Press End Key (power off) is many a times UNRESPONSIVE (actually it is responding with a significant lag), such that when we long press it once it does not respond however when we press it immediately again, it then pops up the power off menu.
I have already reported these bugs to HTC and am awaiting their feedback.
Whats your experience??
I have the weird scrolling.
Along with a camera problem posted in my other thread.
Read SMS messages still marked as unread. See my thread about this.
Also experiencing the sudden change of time, clock and date. Is working now after turning off all the automatic syncs described in other threads.

I cannot remove the sending successful indicator. I unselected everything in sounds and alerts but still.

Either change the registry manually or download and run a cab file.
I used the goldCard to install it,besides the scrolling my WIFI is worst than before,I think I will install back the HSPL.Im going back home...to my previous ROM I think it was awsome.
My date set itself to October 2010;
Had a buzzing noise and then it reset itself;
Will not send SMS on first attempt - but is sucessful on second attempt.
Any ideas?

I have also upgraded to the 3.14 rom this week. Previously 1.48 original vodafone rom with hotfixes.
Everything has been perfect, no poor scrolling, no yellow camera.
However since yesterday I cannot the phone via USB. The option to select
activesync, disk drive, or internet sharing will not appear.
going into the usb to pc settings everything is fine.
But when I connect to several different pc's and with different cables they all say "usb device not recognised"
however the device charges perfectly.
Very odd. I have to keep taking out the sd card and putting it in a reader.
anyone else experienced this?
Alarm setting
The biggest thing i have found so far is the setting of the alarm, if i tap on the alarm tab on the home page it just flashes on nothing happens?. To set the alarm i have to go "Start-Settings-More-All Settings-Clocks & Alarms".
Also on the home page tap the time and nothing happens, they all worked on rom 1.66
Anyone have any fixes??
While listening to music with earphones, I cannot answer any call......When someone call me when I'm listening to music with earphone plugged in, after pressing the call button, nothing can be heard, nor the caller can hear my voice.
My Location Weather Not Updated!
Since I has upgraded my HD2 to the latest ROM version 3.14 and I start having this issue that is "My Location" weather not updating via GPRS, 3G and HSPA mobile network! Its only updating via WIFI! Others country weather was updated fine except "My Location" weather! Strange!!! Has been contacr HTC Customer Support and they just no solution to this and said will passed my case to the technical support team and get back to me soon!! I even bring it back to Vodafone Ireland and reported Network Problem. Exchange new unit for me but the problem still the same! was fine before with the ROM version 1.66 WWE! hmm..I am having wrong time changed issue too!! NEW not necessary GOOD and OLD not necessary BAD!
Thank the universe I did not upgrade to 3.14. Still on 1.66 and running smooth. Only issue is time jump but hopefully this will be corrected somehow sometimes .....................
A week or so after installing the 3.14 ROM I suddenly have no sound via the internal ear-speakers. Possibly a driver issue, but can't figure out a cause for this problem. I now have to perform my phonecalls with a headset.
Hmm, the update has been available for some three weeks now. Yet, the number of issues reported and their frequency seems rather low.
Could it safely be concluded that the bugs reported here are incidents rather than structural problems?
And how about moving back to the previous ROM should the new one appear buggy, is this possible at all?

Exactly the same behaviour here!
I bought my first hd2 back in March when they first launched. Somewhere down the line that hd2 malfunction it wouldnt let me use my camera, kept getting a error message. It would freeze on boot up screen. So I called tmobile and swapped it out... I receive this hd2 and all was well until the update. I updated and I started having sense problems sense will always refresh itself after I would tap into different windows and folders. And sometimes it will not refresh itself it would say sense unable to launch or something like that. And I would have to pop the battery. I reflash back to the original rom which was 2.14 i believe or 2.12 and im still having the sense problems. Ive flash a custom elglancia max sense and still a sense problem android mode works like a charm but its a battery hog. Is there a way to fix the sense problem that ive missed in anyone of these fourms

Had this as well, after some tweaking i got the PC (note PC) to update its driver for the phone - ie it(the PC) updated the drivers that was altered on the phone acc the new ROM.
Yes,
Again my alarm is not working. It was the same with 1.48, 1,66 and now with 3,14. Totally unpredictable!!!!
After flashing 3.14 the "BePolite" (Quiet ring when pick up) isn't working regularly. Usually, the first call after its off/on is going well, than function works from case to case (no dependence traced). Checked at RUS and WWE roms without any apps. Some people from 4pda.ru confirm such behaviour, some not.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Another interesting observation I have had is that while setting up mail accounts, when we setup any GMAIL account, its has IMAP in AUTO SETUP instead of POP3, which subsequently can not connect. To correct this, one will be required to setup the GMAIL account MANUALLY entering the POP3 setting as pop.gmail.com, as recomended by GMAIL team.
Is it that HTC has developed this ROM so carelessly such that they have done a typical "COPY-PASTE" error, while they would have ported the gmail seetings from their ANDROID based ROMS (which they may have developed for HTC Desire!!!), otherwise how else one would justify such an error??

Issues with my HD2 (Optus Australia - Italian Fone)

Been having some problems with my HD2 as of late. If this is the wrong forum to post, please point me elsewhere.
Purchased original one via Mobicity - turned out it was a HK version. I dropped it and smashed the screen, so got a replacement one (purchased thru Mobicity again) under my insurance.
Not sure the origins of the second fone though. When it arrived, it was in Italian. Had to send it back to M/City to reflash it with (what I believe to be ) a WWE version.
Details on startup screen:
R 2.00.51.07
G 15.30.50.07U
D 1.66.76641
Have left the phone as-is after it was reflashed with an English ROM and returned to me. Has worked perfectly for about 8 months. Recent issues only occurring last 2 months or so.
Issues having lately:
* Randomly reboots itself - completely randomly. Sometimes, while not even touching the phone, sometimes while typing a text or browsing the net.
* Battery usage lately has been horrendous. Hard to pin an exact figure on it, but it's MUCH MUCH worse than usual, over the last 2 months.
* CONSTANTLY dropping signal & Data connection. I can watch the data/signal symbols switch from nothing, to G, to 3G, to H, and back again within the space of seconds. On occasions, when the data-conn drops out (but fone signal remains), I go into connection settings and find the Data Settings slider is switched off! I must manually go and turn it on again... which sometimes works, and sometimes fails to stay on.
I HAVE manually gone into the settings and told it to update to the latest data settings from my provider (Optus) and it always responds that I already have the latest settings.
Often, the only way to get data connection back is to manually reboot the whole fone.
Sometimes, while browsing a simple website on the fone, it will drop connection. I live in Brisbane. Optus advises Brisbane has absolute FULL coverage, until you start going outskirts. I can be in the city centre gardens (no big buildings to block signals) and still not achieve full "H" or even "3G" speeds... most times only achieving simple "G" speeds.
This is obviously not right I HAVE contacted Optus about this, and they suggest it is an issue with the phone, as they insist they have full coverage brisbane-wide.
I have also noticed, in the last 2-weeks or so, that Cookies Home Tab is not working correctly all the time.
On occasions - but not ALL the time - on my home-page CHT displays appointments that are already passed days or even weeks ago.
Sometimes, when adding a new appointment (either manually in the fone, or via the MyPhone website and synching), it will not display at all in CHT.
I know there is a new version of CHT, but some of the technical info on the website sounds like there can be issues with not correctly un- or re- installing it.
I've still got a couple of months left for my manufacturer warranty.... I'm not keen on reflashing with un-official ROMS until after that period has elapsed... then i'm keen to go for it. If that is my only option, then I will consider, but would prefer a "genuine" fix first.
Can anyone please offer some suggestions, hints, experiences ? I haven't been on the forums for months, and now the HD2 thread is some 10-episodes of 30+ pages, so I have no hope in hell of reading thru all that hoping to find an answer.
Suggestions please for possible reasons, or fixes, or a different WWE English ROM to flash to ?
Note also: My serial number does not appear to be Asian in origin. I have tried to d/l the Asia Pacific, the Worldwide, and the HK latest ROMS... but it fails upon serial number. I have not tried, but I assume my fone is Italian model, hence any ROM that I flash must be d/loadable from another source, not the HTC website.
Please also note: I'm not - at this point - interested in running Android, so (without wanting to sound ungrateful) if any help could avoid suggestions of that nature please.
Thanx in advance for any assistance.

Hi, I to have an HD2 in Oz from Mobicity - though never got an Italian version. To be honest, the only time I had an issues like those you are talking about was when I flashed new roms WITHOUT 'Task 29' first. Look it up. It kind of "cleans up" your phone inbetween cooked roms. But as you have only had Official roms on your phone, this might not be the issue.
To be honest, I don't think you Task 29 anyway until you put HSPL on your phone (this allows you to put cooked Roms on), but as soon as you do this, you void your warranty. Now you can take HSPL off before you send it back, but if your phone was to die BEFORE you took it off and then you sent it back, you'd be ****ed if they managed to power it up.
As you're under warranty, I'd send it back to be fixed and explain the fact that they had another rom on when you first got it.
Ra-ey
ps. You may want to quickly check online to make sure you are running the most uptodate Rom for your phone on the HTC website.
Hi,
Did u try hard-reseting your phone by pressing the volume up and down and the power button at the same time. Usually fixes many issues relating to yours. It might have been caused by a programs problem which corrupted main system files.

Thanx guys for responses.

Not yet, no..... will go through that process tonight. Was just worried that hard-setting it MAY end up back with the Italian settings (on the off-chance it still has an Italian ROM, but has just been set to display in English) ???
Can anyone identify the ROM details in my original post, as being WWE (I assume this means World Wide English?)
I cannot find anywhere that lists if those numbers mean WWE or English ?
Further to this... i just found this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=791436
This is almost exactly what my phone is doing too, so I suspect it may be the same cause.
One thing I forgot to mention in my original post here, is that sometimes, after the fone reboots itself, it fails to boot up again and all the handset buttons fail to respond. The little red reset button does not work either.
Doesn't happen EVERY time, but occasionally, the only way to resurrect the phone is to remove the battery for 30 mins or so, then reinstall and try again.
Obviously a very real issue - and it seems a known one - perhaps time to return for warranty fix or replacement.
Thanx all for responses in this thread - I will monitor the other thread now for further news.
when you hard-reset it reverts it back to the last rom you had, if it was WWE then it would reload that.
Remember when someone load's another rom on your phone it complete (kinda) erases the old rom and replaces it so there would be nothing that would revert it to the italy ROM.
R 2.00.51.07 (Radio Version)
G 15.30.50.07U (Protocol version)
D 1.66.76641 (ROM Version) could be anything
Usually the Italy ROM only has one language in the rom so my guess would be it has the WWE, by looking at the numbers above no-one would be able to tell you what you what rom it is.
Hope this helps

Thankyou mate.... that makes it a lot clearer
Will try the hard-reset method tonite and-reinstall only the apps (if it ok to use that term, for WM programs !!!) that I need.
Have also been given a link to the latest WWE ROM to flash, from Mobicity, so will hard-reset, to clear any crap, then re-flash with the new ROM.
Just curious... I know I should remove the memory card when resetting/reflashing (i'm not doing dual-boot with Android), but should I also remove the SIM card too? Eg: Get the background system installed and running, then power-off, insert SIM, power-on to get the network specifics up and running ???
My Guess
I have a Telstra HD2, running the latest Telstra ROM and CHT 1.8.5. The phone reboots regularly of its own accord. Seems to be related to overheating as the base of the phone is quite hot when it reboots. If the phone get really hot, it will not re-start (stays at white screen). Have had to put the phone in the fridge to get it to work.
I don't know if this is related but I have a cradle that I use to connect my HD2 to my work PC. If the HD2 is running SenseUI, after the HD2 was been in the cradle for a while, the HD2 re-starts. This does not happen if I disable SenseUI. It seems that the restart only occurs after the battery reaches 100%.
The restarting occurs with CHT 2.0 beta as well.
When I get a chance, I'll do a hard reset and see if that fixes the problem.
Cheers
Hmmmm....... seems to be a recurring issue with some of the "newer" phones. My original phone - before I dropped it and smashed the screen - never had any of the issues I'm currently experiencing
I've read somewhere on here that the rebooting issue is suspected to be from early-production snapdragon processors..... which SHOULD be an immediate warranty claim, in my opinion.
I will try the hard-reset, and then a fresh Official ROM install, to see if it solves it.

[Q] Random problem forces hard reset

Since flashing Duttys WM6.5 Leo Holy Grail ROM to my HD I have been very impressed with it's performance, 99% of the time it is responsive and stable and seems happy even though several programs are running. It has made my HD a really nice phone.
But every now and again something weird will happen, usually activesync reports a problem, or all of my contacts vanish, sometimes files on the device (not SD) cannot be accessed. So I soft reset and it doesn't boot, it will get stuck on the orange splash screen.
In total it has happened about 4 times since I flashed the ROM on Dec 29. It happened last night and eventually the device loaded the background picture, then popped up an error dialogue saying something about being unable to open a file, there was no mention of the file name. I did a soft reset and it then automatically performed a hard reset.
The other times the phone just hangs on the orange splash screen every time, causing me to perform a hard reset manually. Sometimes it will work fine for a good few days, or sometimes fail after only 1 day.
Its really annoying. I cant seem to get a HTC that works at the moment. My TP2 is rubbish, I've tried several ROM's and it is consistently unstable, so I go back to my HD which was always reliable... And now this happens.
please Help or I'll be forced to turn to the darkside and get an iphone and I really don't want to do that!
Why not just return to the "reliable" firmware version used previously?
I'm not a fan of custom roms or 6.5, especially on this underpowered model, it's definitely the most reliable handheld I own or have owned with oem roms though, especially without it's resource gobbling pretty face on.
Not really the most helpful answer, but i suppose i cannot argue the reasoning behind it.
In defence of this ROM it is BRILLIANT when it is working, i'd actually argue that the device feels smoother with this ROM than it did with the stock Orange UK ROM.

Have you tried asking your question in one of Duttys threads. You may get a better response. Also, try flashing a different rom
Thanks.
Since posting the message the problem has not come back.
I have been thinking that there is a possibility that my server was hacked, i noticed a few things had changed on the server, i also had notices when i logged in to facebook and paypal, informing me that someone from New York had accessed my account. the server and facebook used to have the same password.
Is it possible that the problem i had was caused by a hacker on my exchange server issuing a command to reset the device? i know it can do something like this to protect data in the event of a phone going missing.
what does the device do if exchange server performs this routine?
Please help me find this problem... i dont want to buy an Iphone!
Ok I tried a different Rom, this time i used one of KWBR's:
http://media.celogeek.com/roms/kwbr/..._5.7_Sense.rar
a month down the line and its just started to go wrong again.
this time, i find that the device slows down a little bit, prompting me to soft reset, when it boots i find that my contacts are missing, active sync will not load properly, it briefly flashes on screen but lower 1/3rd of active sync window is missing (appears transparent or black) only way to get contacts back and active sync working again is hard reset!
Anyone got any ideas what might be going on?
its been doing this now on both ROM's but i have no idea what may be causing it, as far as additional software i only install a few apps: Slimcontrol 1.5, Core player & GcZ2 (geocaching tool) which all have been running fine before.

SOD - Sleep of death problem

I have a problem with Sleep of Death in WinMo. When i put my Mini in sleep mode and I'm trying to wake it up - nothing happens. Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?
Hello, did you manage to resolve your problem? I just started having the same problem. Hard reset did not help. I am going to reload latest official ROM.
I wait for your expressions after reloading ROM. I've hard reseted WinMo and even in Android - nothing happens. I'll reflash ROM after work.
I reaolved the problem on my mini by disabling htc lockscreen.
if u search how to disable it u will find it
PeGie: I re-loaded the latest shipped ROM (1.36). It works (so far). I'll add additional software one by one to see if there is some relation.
bruce2728: Thank you for the tip. However, I cannot disable it. I am using the device also for company e-mail synchronizing by using ActiveSync. The company policies force to use the screen lock and I am not able to change it.

if you disable htc lockscreen in the registry it defaults to the windows 6.5 one, so you will still have a screen lock

Guys, thanks for help. I tried today to turn off lockscreen, but it doesen't worked. I'll try to figure it out tommorow. I'm waiting for results of investigation of Sleep of death.
I uninstalled CleanRAM first and hard reset and I have no more problem SOD
(last 10 hours is normal) I do not know if I will again have the same problem, now works ok
HTC HD mini German ROM: 1.41.166.1
I mentioned that hard reset did not help. That may not actually be true. When I did hard reset then I immediatelly installed all my applicatiosn and changed all the settings I used to change. Some of the software or config change may cause the problem. However, it is strange that it began just few days ago. I was using the device almost 1 year without this problem.
Anyway, as I mentioned before, I re-loaded the 1.36 ROM today. Then I left all settings at defaults. I did not install any application. It is working correctly so far. I'll add app/config change one by one to track the root cause. It will take some time of monitoring but I need to identify the cause. My suspect #1 is my company security policy. That would explain the problem appearance beginning.
I already had some problem caused probably by my company security settings.

and to me it's strange because the last few days, so to say I did not use mobile phones, nothing new installed or changed settings.
I have this problem too. Since yesterday - started from failing to wake me in the morning. It's kind of weird, all of the sudden phone stopped to work correctly.
At last (judging by more people having problem as well) is not the hardware problem.
Anyone has any idea: this problem was known before, or it started in last few days?
I'm also having this problem. I've changed nothing on my phone since months and since yesterday it has this problem. I'm thinking of sending it for repair and wait what they will say about it.
I was using my HD mini for 10 months without problems. But today I was faced the same problem as you mentioned. I removed my battery and left my HD mini without battery for ~30 minutes. Then I put battery back and turn on the phone and everything works now ...
It sound really weird that this problem is popping out suddenly to a number of users, while before there was no symptom.. it would seem as crazy as a time-driven issue or something..
Before reading here, my 1st step would have been removal of lockscreen, then 2nd one going back to clean original installation, but looks like those moves are not of help..
Fact is that the only new software i installed is bsb tweaks whose changes may affect registry and corrupt system configurations.. do you all guys have bsb installed?
Let's try to figure this out together, missed wakeup and calls are really annoying, as well as removing the battery to make a phone call...
No, I don't have bsb.
And people are using bsb without much problem for the last year.
Some kind of millennium bug? Someone programmed end of the world in our phones?

i don't have bsb on my mini
I do not have BSB installed (actually, I have idea what it is). My Mini is stable 16 hours after ROM reload. It survived the night! I believe hard-reset would help too. I'll re-test hard-reset if I see the problem again after some app/cfg install/change.
My next step is to install HTC updates:
PHO03869.exe
PHO03880.exe
_HTC HD Mini_PHO03611.exe
Then I will install/configure (not ordered):
home WiFi - hidden SSID, WPA-PSK, AES, ASCII key
CorePlayer v1.3.6 Build 7427 - directdraw output
TomTom 7.916.9192 QVGA with one map
ActiveSync - for company e-mail
IMAP e-mail - for Gmail account
turned off HTC Sense
turnd off weather (Application Data\HTC\databases -> deleted the file forecast_cache.db, restarted Sense (uncheck/check in today settings)) - this is sometimes required to stop the weather to be updated from web
system settings change - bluetooth, regional settings, etc.

[BUG] Dynamics v2.0 - WP7.8 RTM Bugs

hello, not a noob for installing stuff just reporting some issues im having with this rom.
So currently the install went fine on the focus (ATT device running on Tmobile). the device is rebooting at random times, i would watch it flash the goodbye screen wait for a few seconds then the samsung screen comes on. Another thing is my connection is reporting to be on the E (Edge connection i guess) even though im rated for 3G with tmobile but at the time i just recently turned on my data so maybe when my new pay period kicks in that would change so that ones iffy. Other than that the rom seems to be running fine.
Until your area gets a network upgrade on TMobile's 1900Mhz band, you are going to see 2G.
As far as the reboots, I have 3 focus's running this Rom on Straighttalk. NO reboots.

i know i get 3g before cause my father turned off the data plan when i wasn't working (and before i flashed the rom incase anyone asked), like i said i won't know until a couple of weeks as theres alot of extenuating circumstances which i can pin on Tmobile (my voicemail was kinda jacked up when i first joined).
Yea the reboot was just weird, i would just take it out of my pocket and i would noticed all of my pass tasks were missing even when i wasn't running anything on the background still does it, then last night i was on my computer look over to the right to my phone and it was restarting by itself . Also before i flashed, i had the same issue but not too frequently maybe once per 2 months.

I had similar issues when I was on T-Mobile about 6 months ago, but I am not sure but I don't think your issues are because of T-Mobile, try a reflash.

do you clean storage after flash? i had a similar problem when i flashed with a novin´s custom and it was because i didn't clean it. with the dynamic rom i haven´t had any problem is for me the best rom ever created to the foucs

i cleaned before and after but heck reflashing helps too, i'll give that a shot tonight. Yea this rom is awesome, makes my focus still look shiny new
Here are the bugs I found:
1. The Clock Hub seems to flash every other time I look at it, as if it was flickering and loading up just then, not smooth.
2. The Clock Hub's code needs to be fixed to show AM and PM properly when the hour is 12. 12AM is shown as 12PM and the other way around too. Soon as it hits 1PM or 1AM, it's ok.
3. XBox avatar wakes up on the wrong side after shaking him down and he tries to pull the screen to the side. Shake your avatar, make him fall down, watch him get up pissed and pull the screen to a side. On the older stock rom, he pulled it correctly from left to right. In this ROM and the Tango ROM I got from here - he pulls it wrongly from right to left.
4. When I connected the phone to the computer, it detected it as a Samsung Omnia 7, instead of a Focus.
5. The image in Zune is a generic Windows Phone image, not the Samsung Focus as it used to be shown before.
6. When there's a phonecall, earlier it used to say "slide up to answer", why not anymore?
7. No charging sound/vibration when plugged in.
One request:
Can anyone find the original image from the stock rom from the 7 album, which had the person crossing their leg to form a 4, instead of the Mango image that has the latch with the 4 over it?

I found that the network profile does not work. The voice search does not work, also when u have a custom SMS tone it will not silence and also it will play when u are talking on the phone, and if you get more than one text it will play the sound for each sound all at once.

Your phone probably has bad NAND sectors. Aside from getting a new phone the only thing you can try is getting a very large SD card and hope that most of the data gets written to the SD card instead of the NAND. This is a common problem with the Focus I have noticed.

The Dynamics ROM uses a lot of Omnia 7 files as well as it's newer firmware which can cause problems, such as changing providers with the diagnosis app via the provxml trick. The reason voice search doesn't work is because of ultrashot's SearchKeySettings package. If you want that to work you will have to use a ROKM that doesn't have that included.
