Hey people,
I have got a HTC Titan and a HTC HD7 both in the UK and I have had a weird problem from day one of having the Titan.
Basically upon activating my Titan for the first time, I started the Maps app and in its settings there was an option to read out aloud directions.
Upon planning a route, voice turn by turn started in British English.
However, after exiting Maps and restarting it, there were no more voice instructions! Even the option in Maps settings is gone.
I tried hard resetting and the problem repeats in exactly the same way!
I went back to my HD7 and noticed that it had normal voice navigation but I found that it was also set to English - International in regional settings.
I changed it to English UK and the same situation as my Titan arose!
Are your Windows Phones exhibiting the same problems, especially the Titan ?
same here. No button in settings, though I never saw it in the first place. Bought turn by turn instead. Great app.

Hello,
I've got my HD2 for 7 months. Since I bought it I'm experiencing a small difficulty concerning voice calls and light sensor.
When calling, the light sensor detects proximity of my head (ear) and when the phone is close enough, display darkens and locks to avoid pushing buttons by cheeks and such stuff. That's quite handy sometimes.
My issue is, that when I put my HD2 next to my head (enough to darken the display) while dialing someone, the second when the dialed number accepts the call, my HD2 automatically hangs up.
If I dial the same person again without putting HD2 next to my head, the call connects and everything is OK.
So my question is, what is the reason for my HD2 to automatically hang up when the display is dark and how to avoid this situation? Is there some registry fault and fix or something similar?
It's driving me pretty crazy Please help.
Thanks in advance, Pete.
I think its a registry thing. I never experienced this, although i hear a lot of people complaining about it.
Solution to the issue
So finally after consulting few people over the internet, I've come to satisfying solution.
The basic idea is to backup, wipe everything out using hardreset and then restore everything back to its original state.
As backup&restore software I used SPB Backup 2.1.
I've done 3 tests: before reset, after reset&before restore, after restore.
First one went bad, as expected, second and third ones went good....
So everything solved, thanks for your attention
Hello Guys,
Ive got a problem with my HD2.
The Story: a few months ago, my HD2 switching automatically, between Standy and normal Mode. It Looks As somebody push the the standby Button every few seconds. Last Time the problem dissapering quitly As it appears. Yesterday the Effect came back.
Its a Europe HD2 Originally from HTC, without Software from any Provider.
EDIT: this Effect also Appears during normal use, e.g. Write a sms. The Display Turns off and the hd2 is in standby few seconds later the display go on and Show the lock screen.
Im sorry for my spelling, the stupid iPod trys to German Text because im from GER.
I've had my phone since July 2009 and loved. Recently- as of about two to three months- the phone hasn't been recognizing the keyboard presses accurately during texting. When I type on the keyboard, it turns from "test test test" to "testest tessst". I tested the buttons in adding a new contact and during searches on Google and didn't have the same issue.
As of today, the phone decided it was Slavic. But English, but Slavic. The menu changed between options being in one language or another, all the options in the menu randomly picking a language. If I exited the menu and went back in, the menu options would change what language they were in again.
Obviously, I chose to do a hard reset.
Now, I don't have the language issue, I still have the keyboard issue, and I don't get any service from ATT! I can't find any topics that have the same problems I'm having. Please help.
something might be under the keyboard.
i think, u should take it apart (check servicce manual)
Hi,
A few days ago, I updated my HTC Titan (bought in 2011 in France as a sim-unlocked device) to the official Tango update (+ firmware update) through Zune.
Then, after doing a hard reset, the usual setup assistant is displayed, but at the end of it there is a new step that wasn't there before the update (titled "Almost Done") telling me that the phone is going to launch some kind of htc specific utility in order to configure my data connection for my carrier. Then after clicking on "continue", I see a black screen for about 15 seconds (like when an app doesn't manage to load properly and WP7 kills it because it took too long to start), then the start screen appears (but I don't receive the usual fake welcome SMS from Windows Phone).
I can launch apps, but the capacitive Back button, Start button, Search button don't react (they cause the phone to vibrate, but WP doesn't react to these commands).
After shutting down the phone and restarting it, I'm greeted by the setup recovering screen (titled "Welcome Back") telling me that Windows Phone will resume my setup where I left it (that explains why the capacitive buttons don't react: they were software disabled because Windows Phone considered it was still in first setup mode. Same for the fake welcome sms I didn't receive). Of course the same problem happens again when I tap on continue, and when I restart my phone.
I tried several hard reset through the usual methods (either through the about menu, or through the menu displayed using VolUp+VolDown at startup). Still the same problem. I guess it's a bug that should happen on many Titan devices. I contacted the HTC support and they told me to send my phone back to HTC for repair
Of course Zune won't let me restore the backup because of the firmware update not longer compatible with the backup.
Did anybody have the same problem with a stock htc titan rom?
I'm also wondering what is the new "HTC Log disable" command on the "CUST APPSBL" screen? I'm sure it wasn't there before the update. Is there some kind of htc specific logging that is enabled by default (since it is a "disable" command). What is being logged?
Also, the red diode (indicating when the battery is charging) is being lit during startup, which didn't happen before the update. Does that mean something?
Hi,
It is quite normal for the new Tango ROM to display that extra HTC specific step, even though it doesn't work!
I experimented with the Titan a bit and found that as soon as the Start screen appears after setup, before doing anything else, long press the Connection setup app in the app list and uninstall it.
It will enable normal functionality.
If needed you can always download it again from Marketplace.

It happened to me too!!!
Moreover, after a hard-reset the HTC Market disappeared in the market!
I disabled the pin to the sim re-formatted, and connected to electricity, and aftew few times HTC market reappeared (!), immediately updated ALL the htc software (even the connection wizard) and everything is OK now... exept the possibility to install INSIDER (by Microsoft)... it is said that the app is not available for my device (!!!) ... I used it until yesterday on my Titan with Mango... I REALLY DO NOT KNOW
BYE

Yes, exactly the same problem happened after hard-resetting on tango. I simply waited a bit with the phone on the main menu and the softkeys not working. After a while, I received the WP7 welcome text, and the softkeys started to work again.

Hi all,
I made a new hard-reset.
As suggested by maTTeo I simply waited even with softkeys not working... I only disactivated the pin on sim so that the Titan could find an internet connection.
After receiving the SMS of woelcome on WP7, I immediately upgraded all the HTC apps
Everythings seems fine for the moment...

Hello, as the title implies I cannot get here drive to "talk" to me. The navigation is correct, a blue line is displayed and a flag at the end, but it doesn't talk.
I have tried various things, like reset phone and do a clean install, remove here drive+ and reinstall it, remove maps and redownload them, turn off bluetooth connections, wifi, cellular, restart the phone, remove all navigational voices from the here drive menu and redownload them, but I can't get it to talk. The speed limit warning is working but the navigational voice and the announcing of street names don't work.
Please help, as I cannot use it when I drive alone, I have to take my eyes off the street regularly.
voice must be downloaded and selected in options...
all working fine for me. i have only once problem with voice navigation... during driving voice stopped to work and after restart device (turned off and on) started to work again...
Thanks, voice is downloaded and selected in the options, actually I downloaded US, UK and Greek recorded voices and selected them one by one with no positive result.
Also connection is turned on, battery saver turned off, location turned on, map options are all set to default and map of Greece is downloaded for off-line use. Before 4 months I was hearing the navigational voice but now no.
The only thing I can further think of, is that I live in Greece and I got the phone new from a UK online shop, could this interfere with Here Drive+ ?
