Ok, i have an elf. of the phone variety.
No funny hats or curly shoes with bells on.
On the third panel of the HTC today screen,
the app launcher, it will no longer add anything.
I can click on the plus icon, and it will show me
a selecion of programs to add, but after clicking
"select" or "ok" it still wont show the item in
the launcher.
Anyone else had this problem?
More importantly, has anyone got a solution?
(and i have searched the forum. found nothing)
LOL....no really? I thought you actually got one of santa's little helpers
Hmmmm....never heard of that one. Did you make any changes to the phone recently? Install something, flash a new ROM? Have you tried soft resetting the phone? Also try to disable the HTC home plug in and then try to re-enable.
well, i did capture one a couple of years ago, but some rights organisation said it was politically incorrect for me to keep it, so i had to let it go.
anyway.
ive not changed the rom in any way. ive only just got it a couple of days ago.
but ill now try disabling it and enabling it again. see if it helps.
thanks for the idea
ok, nope, turning the htc home off and on again didnt work
and i didnt really keep anything and pretend it was an elf.
my previous comment didnt come out sounding sarcastic enough.
any other ideas?
If you havn't got HTC Home Customizer = get this and install on your device.
Not only can you customize the HTC Home plugin to make it prettier you can also add your app shortcuts through HHC and see if they will add that way.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308
This is the link to HTC Home customizer XDA - This link aslo has link to official site - it is freeware and worth downloading and installing anyways.
well, thats a prety fantastic program. Ive finally been able to get rid of that weather tab that i never use.
Sadly, whenever I try to add anything to the app launcher through the htc home customizer, it throws an error and closes.
???
:edit:
Fiddle-De-Dee
Just played with it some more and got it working ok.
i was making a silly mistake with the HHC.
Thanks for your helps folks.
sounds like something got really messed up on your device, probably a registtry change or another app is causing conflict.
Did you get this device brand new?
Have you installed anything recently? If so Try uninstalling it and see if it is working properly now?
Have you been playing around with changing registry settings? If so, try changing things back to the way they were originally.
Maybe if you got the device used, someone else had made these changes.
A hard reset will reset the device back to factory settings and may solve your problem. Unfortunately, you will loose everything you have put on your device, apps, contacts, any customization. You may want to look into backing up some of your data before performing the hard reset. Once hard reset is completed, you can add your custom apps again and start customizing again. No big deal really if you have not done much with your device yet. I have had to do it twice on my device - Just time consuming since I had a lot of customizing already done and had to redo it. Now I know to back up my data before doing a hard reset.
edit: I was typing this reply before you edited your post. Glad to hear that you got it working. Enjoy

I noticed this evening something strange. I wanted to check a weather forecast on my HD, but when I scrolled to the specified tab, I saw the screen comming up (no weather picture comming up though, and the button Update now was there, but not functioning at all) but nothing happened for a few seconds, and Touchflo3D hangs completely with the following error:
Wer're sorry
A problem has occured with manila.exe
blablabla
Send - Don't send
The stock forecast is working properly though.
Anyone experienced somehting like this as well, or somebody know what I can do to resolve this? I already tried to unload as many programs to be sure that those could not cause it. Also I have not installed something before that happend (at least that I'm aware of, but I don't know what the last time was I could access the Weather forecast correctly actually). The last program I installed was Igo8, but that isn't related at all to that, isn't it... I also reset my device, but the problem is still there...
I hope someone can help me with this. Otherwise I have to hard-reset my HD again, which I don't want to actually....
Thanks in advance.
GreenFrog
Anybody who can help me with this? Is there maybe something I can check in the executable of Manila, or just a part of it. Or can I re-installe the weather app in some kind of way?
GreenFrog
I've never experienced the issue that you are describing. Did you try a hard reset? Perhaps that should suffice for now until someone acknowledges a fix.

Well, that's just the part I want to perform at last. I did a hard reset about a week ago, and have everything installed again; would like to keep it and try to fix only the weather app; that's the only one which is causing the error.
Hmm, I thought I had the answer by deleting the database cache for within \\Touch HD T8282\Application Data\HTC\databases, but still not. Although I'm a little further now, in the meaning that I can see the picture within the tab, but when it tries to update, manila hangs completely and TouchFlo3D restarts again. But when the cache is deleted, and I hook my HD up to my pc and it wants to try to update, it sees there is no connection and comes up with the screen to retry or not. If I select 'No', I can come into the menu, also when I've disconnected it from my system... and keeps running, until I click update again of course...
Have to see what the next part could be. Although the weather application is not that important, I really like to know what could have caused this...

hey guys.
I have problems by adding up locations to forcast list.
after choosing country (us) the city list doesn't scroll down and keep going up to clorado spring.
any idea???
hi greenfrog. i discovered i'm having exactly the same problem you have. have you finally found a solution to this? i hard did a hard reset and installed things (nothing weird) and it happened. i was ok right after the hard reset though...

as a matter of fact, i hv both greenfrog and nadar-1's problems.
but nadar-1's problem can be manipulated by "holding the scroll"..though i know there is still a limit.
the weather tab crash with manila.exe error is more serious.
Hi Greenfrog,
I solved my problem. My crash was caused by a tweak in Regional Settings I did. Hope it helps your situation.

Need help !!!! HD2 changed wmm password?
I have microsoft my phone enabled and everything, but.... as it is my wi-fi and cell radios are disabled....
Before i went to take a shower, i soft resetted my phone using BsB Tweaks, and when i got back from the shower i tried typing in my password... said it was incorrect, and i flipped. but before that i let someone use my phone for like couple seconds, told him my password to the wmm screen, nothing more.. It was working fine with my old password for about the rest of the day.. after letting my friend use it
And now it just seems like it changed the pass itsself, I know how absurd this may sound, but I'm speaking the truth. I just have customized the phone soo far, that i Really do not want to hard reset.
Can the t-mobile employees help reset the password? or Am i just left with that choice.
EDIT: I think i might just go to the t-mobile store and exchange my phone.. 3G was slow anyways, the speaker sounded broken, and the hardware keys are very loose.
EDIT: I can't even type in my password anymore, when i type in the pass, and click unlock nothing happens/
me too
I happened to me too, i did a hard reset. the last thing I remember is to install a cab for sms without manilla. i rebooted and i was able to enter my pass but the ui was the normal windows ui to enter the password, the i reseted the phone again and the normal manila password came but i couldn't enter the password, after several times entering the unlock button didnt even do anything.
Now if i install something big in the phone.. i disable the password , reboot then enable the password.
T-Mobile HD2
This seems to be a bug in the tmobile stock rom, maybe others? It's happened to me before too using the stock tmobile rom. Theres a thread about this over on forums.t-mobile.com as well
The last thing I installed before it happened to me was the flash fix installer to enable flash in Opera.
Anyone have a FIX for this?
I just got two new texts, and well I CANT READ IT? and it seems like my radio is active now... hmm?
Do any of the experts know what is wrong with HD2 winmo password.
i have the stock ROM that comes with HD2 tmobile USA and i hadnt even installed anything.
I was just checking a few tele no. on the phone and left is went into standby and when i opened it, its stuck on enter password and the pass i set just aint working??
i am screwed, had over 30 small softwares which took me quiet sometime putting in.
CAN I GET MY HD2 TO WORK SOMEHOW, is there a fix???
please help me out, i seriously do not want to do a hard reset.
thank you.
Use a hard reset. Hold you volumn buttom up and down together then press power buttom the same time. It will reset to the original manufacture.
This really sucks, isnt there any way around it, i mean is HTC screwing with us or what??

Its a pretty common bug. No fix, just dont use a password. You can download apps from the Market for protecting your phone with a password. I guess it has something to do with the Microsoft registry, last I read anyway.
If you backed up your phone on your PC then its no biggie. Hard reset, re synce your phone. If you didnt, well... let this be a lesson. I learned the hard way. Always backup your phone.

I already had my contacts backed up, but had over 50 programs installed, and it will be a big pain installing all of them all over again.
As an owner of 20 HD2's (corp. account), I can tell you this has happened to 4 of our phones. It was almost a deal breaker. I can also tell you that TMO/HTC have aknowleged the issue and are working on a fix for it. (This comes from upper ups at TMO)
We HAVE to have Lock PIN's enabled, as we are a law firm and such.
For the record, it has nothing to do with anything you've installed, BsB or otherwise. All of our phones, except mine, are running stock ROMs (2.13) and Radio. No one here has the want or desire for 'frilly' things like CHT or BsB. The 4 phones that have "lost" or "forgotten" the PIN code were all stock.
Our interim solution, is to have everyone use MS MyPhone for backup purposes. Note that this does NOT back up anything on your SD card. Pull the SD card out before you wipe it, and you will not lose anything there. Can't speak for apps installed there, as I'm sure there are needed reg entries on the phone that will need to be recreated. That's a guess tho.
Short answer, if it's forgotten your PIN, you're screwed as far as avoiding a wipe.
yup you are right it has nothing to do with bsb or CHT and YES i am screwed.
I will definitly installing some backup software that can also backup my programs.
I already had my contacts backed up in outlook.
I called HTC and the guys said they know its an issue that some ppl. have and its almost a deal breaker for me coz security code is suppose to help us not f*** us up like that.
Now i am looking for a backup program that can backup all programs aswell apart from my contacts and calander on the phone.
The HTC tech. guy said SPRITE is a good backup solution, i also know of SPB backup, so do you guys have any idea which one is better??
thanks alot

They're both great really, but I think sprite is still on a special sale for HTC owners...
ok yeah, I found the link, here you go:

i dont know what to do. ive rebooted the device about 5 times in the last 2 days. it will will go in to stand by mode and the screen will turn off as it should but when i try to press one of the keys the screen stays black and only the keys are lit up. sometimes if i wait about 30 seconds after i keep pushing it, the lock screen will come up but its a big pain.
the only thing i have installed on it is CHT 1.7.1 CHT editor 1.7.1.2 and Anastasia CHT theme. i had a bunch of other stuff but i didnt reload it since my last boot because i thought that may have been causing the problem.
What can i do?
which rom are you on? can you hard reset and run just stock for a few days and see what happens?
I honestly think the sleep of death is lock related imho
I believe there is already a thread on this. Try disabling the auto lock function on your device. I had the same issue and this resolved it for me.
It seems that the device won't bring up the slider bar to unlock the phone, the screen is locked out to avoid accidental key strokes, and that's why the hard keys still light up but you get no display.
You can try uninstalling CHT and see if that makes any difference, it has for some people when trying to fix this issue.
Another thing you can try is this:
Go into Settings -> All Settings -> Today, and on the "Items" tab, make sure the "Today timeout" box at the bottom is UNchecked. It's not a guaranteed solution, but it has cleared that problem for some.
Your feedback is appreciated
ok well it seemed like my texts were slowing it down a lot.. i wish there were settings to erase them automatically.. besides that everything is perfect now
Did you install ANY version (including 2.07) of the FileExplorerExt mod, or even the combine fix (0.3)?
I had nothing but problems with my phone until I uninstalled it. Even the supposed fix in 2.07 doesn't work.
After removing this application, I haven't had a phone freeze/lockup/refuse to wake up in over 2 weeks.

Yes, the issues with those extensions happen when you either (fully) close file explorer while it's pointed at the SD card, or let the phone sleep while it's open and pointed at the card. If you just hit the "up" button when you're done using it, so it's pointed at "my device" again, you shouldn't have those issues anymore.
Good work sir

So I have been running without cookies for a little while. I flashed to the new ROM and have been SOD free for about two weeks not. Not a hiccup. Dont know if it is the new ROM but I know when I uninstalled cookies it helped a lot. Im thinking maybe wednesday I will install cookies back. Maybe the new ROM fixed sense enough to allow me to re-install cookies.

Yeah, I'm anxious to hear the results when you try CHT again, especially with the new ROM.
Were you ever running the fexplorer extension(s) mentioned above? It hadn't occured to me before that that might be behind some of the lockups people experience.

I had Co0kie installed for 2 weeks (on original stock ROM) and had no SOD. Only when FileExplorerExt was installed did I have that issue. As of the new 2.13 ROM, had Co0kie installed and still no lockups. I installed the 0.3 combined FileExplorerExt fix last night and had SOD within 15 minutes. After uninstalling, been running without SOD ever since.
Unless you have a corrupt Co0kie install, I don't think that's a problem, thought nobody can totally rule it out. Seems every phone is different.

I am running cht's newest version but can't get the clocks to show up...it shows that they are installed...but can't find where they are and how to make them work. Help please...thank you
It would probably help to know what clock app you are trying to use.
It should be in the advanced settings in CHT...there's a drop-down list there to choose whatever compatible clock you have installed.
Thank you I will look in the advanced setting and see if that helps.

Ok well I'm running an older version of CHT (1.7) so I don't know if it's in the same place, but I access it by hitting the "menu" soft button on the home screen, then choosing "edit home layout". Once it enters the editing mode there, you should find the "advanced" button in the bottom right.
Ok...I found the advanced menu right where you said it was..but the clocks I installed don't show up in the options...do I have to install the cab file in a special place to get it to show up in the advanced menu?

Hmm...it was my understanding that whichever clock you have installed (I think you can only have one "actively installed" at a time) would show when you picked the appropriate option in the list...like "analog 1" or "analog 2"
Try picking each of the options that do show in the clock list, and see if any of them are the one you think is installed

lol I'm glad it works for you now, I know how frustrating that kind of thing can be. Had you done a soft-reset after you first installed the clocks? Sometimes changes in WM just need to be kick-started with a 2nd reboot.
Yeah I tried to re-boot it several times after installing it...then I uninstalled it and went on here asking for help...then I installed again and re-booted several times during our discussion....then on one re-boot the standard analog clock disappeared...so one more re-boot and magically the one I installed showed up.

Nope...I know that there are some AV apps out there for winmo, but I've never felt compelled to test or use any. I'd have a hard time believing that your issue was casued by anything like that though. I'd suspect it's more likely related to the fact you installed all the clock cabs at once, but that's just a guess.

In Marketplace look up 'Lookout'. Its free and works great. But if you are on the stock ROM still dont use it. I had some issues when I was on my original ROM and it froze it to the point I had to hard reset. But it includes antivirus, Malware scan, firewall, etc. Plus it has a nice feature where if its stolen you can remotely (from any PC) 'NUKE' your phones contents. You can also pinpoint its location and go get it. GL!

After installing the clocks cab. then go into edit mode press the old clock till the remove tab appears, then hold the empty sapce till add new tab.appears and select analog 1 from dropdown menu, soft reset and new clock should show. In fact you can get 2 different clocks to display-- one for day and one for night.
how do you get one clock for day and another for night?

Most of the clocks for the 1.8.5 it says you have to uncheck sense install/restart your phone/then click sense back on...yeah pretty complicated other wise it will not show up...usually a reboot will take care of it...As far as two different clocks..I am pretty sure that is not possible...only one at a time...
I just got my Evo on Saturday and have experienced a problem that I cant seem to fix.
Basically what happens is my home button stops functioning. Instead of taking me back to my default screen, the screen will just flash. So I have to use the back arrow now.
I have launcherpro and beautiful widgets installed, but I dont know if either of these would cause the issue.
Ive had to reboot my phone several times before its fixed, then it will randomly happen again.
Has anyone experienced this? Please help. This is so frustrating and annoying.
Thank you,

EDIT So I unstalled launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets and rebooted and its still happening. Im trying to find out if this is an issue others have experienced or if I have a defective unit that I need to return?

Try getting default home from the market, it lets u clear it
Swyped from my fresh evo
Dude the same thing was happening to me. When u try to press the home button it would jus flicker back and forth between screens or something like that. And the only way I got rid of it buddy was rooting and flashing a new Rom, because the sense Rom has sum sort of bug in it. That's a guaranteed fix.

No, I don't mean clear defaults. I mean flashing to a custom built Rom. That's the only way that problem will stop. I only know this because when I first got my Evo I had the same problem. I thought it was something I was going to have to deal with but I noticed the problem was gone sum time after me rooting my phone. This was not planned, it was just knowledge from experience. Yes there is a one click method for your phone called unrevoked3. You will jus need a few things. To install on ur computer. Check out this link and follow the instructions very carefully. http://www.jonamerica.com/technology/howto-root-the-htc-droid-incredible/ if u seem to get stuck which u probably will, jus let me know and I can TRY to help. It shouldn't be a hard or long process but if u don't have any experience then it might take a little while. And by the way, follow these instructions at ur own will, because I am not responsible for what happens to your phone. If u find something that u don't completely understand, just do what I do, Google It! GOOD LUCK
