Slight detour:

What screen protectors are you people using because my personal quest for a good one is getting rather frustrating?

Let me tell you my opinons on screen savers, cases, etc...

They all blow.

Put your phone in your pocket and expect it to get scratched. When the time comes the time comes; just like death. And you cant chat death. When its time for that big scratch you just need to take it like a man....

Sorry man, I used to protect the hell out of my phones. Still got scratched and dented and broke, etc..... Now, everything goes in my pocket. The phone goes in left pocket with nothing else at all. No keys, no this no that....
And I have much better luck than putting on all these crazy contraptions that reduce the sensitivity of the phone.

But that is just me.....

Yea, that was the fix that I was referring to. If that didn't work, then you'll just have to wait until they come up with a better version. The place to keep an eye on is the post that I referred you to yesterday. Post your problem there and see if they have any ideas. Here, we can fix the ROM problems, but TP2 still isn't completely solved and issues do remain. Only those guys actually have the knowledge to solve them, not us. This is not a TP2 support site.

Even though you tried, I don't know why you went to that total gamer website to get the CAB. It's available at the bottom of post #4 as an attachment. You could also read Post #3 and try this (although I don't think that's your problem)
For the time being off on SMS try this registry key it has worked for me on other ROMs. This is a known issue not to do with manila. ADD the following:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"TrustTimeZoneField"=dword:00000000

Again the link to the thread is: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61809

Good luck,
Bob

PS. Did you turn off TF3D before you applied the fix? If not, do so and then try applying the fix again....but the author of that thread says it didn't work for hime either.

I generally agree with you, I had tried some on earlier phones and removed them immediately. However, with this phone, I found one holster clip that I really like and also tried their screen protector for "laughs" and it seemed to be quite acceptable (it's still on the phone if that says anything) and it doesn't seem to reduce the sensitivty that much (which surprised me). With the TP, even if it reduces sensitivity, there are apps which allow you to adjust the sensitivity.

The link for the holster is: http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/hlhtch3as.htm

Found a problem for us Verizon users on the generic carrier(?) with MMS. I was trying to send a picture MMS today and kept getting "Originator Not Found" error message. Found this site with the fix.

http://www.howardforums.com/archive/...1141283-1.html

I only added the string with my phone number. I didn't delete anything. I'll have to create a VZW version to flash to see if the problem is there as well.

AND I STILL WANNA KNOW IF ANYBODY ELSE HAS TROUBLE USING IE6beta. A YES OR NO WOULD BE NICE. AM I THE ONLY ONE????? I flashed from SD card. Maybe I should flash again?

Scott - battery issues (con't) - Like DA, as you know, I have historically had battery issues. Right now, I'm using 21109 and experencing the same thing as DA. it's also happend on 20931 and others. I do seem to have more success at charging if I'm plug the phone directly into a wall charger (although it's still had a few issues with that also) - but generally works better.

Besides the temp sensor (which I've described before), I can see two other items, if not working properly, could cause the problem.
1) In the Power setting, there is a check box that reads "If the phone is on, Do not charge the battery when connected to the PC. Even though I have always left it unchecked (and I can't figure you why anyone would put a check there) the battery does seem to start the charge cycle, and then at some point, it just stops charging. There is no actual numerical level that i can point to because it happens at different stages.
2) The "flashing" lights - Even though they are supposed to just "report" the ongoing action, why would they continue to flash even though the actual charging has stopped.

About the only way to find out if it's the kitchen is to flah back to the VZ stock ROM and run it for a while. Since I only have 1 phone, and it's taken HOURS to get it set up with TP2 and 21109, I am reluctant to reflash for testing. Especially since I'd have to revert to the 'dark ages" ROM for a couple of days to get any meaningful information. However, I may do that before I do my next flash, but that's not going to be until TP2 is finally released or you have something that I can't resist.

Those are just my thoughts.

I don't see any problem....I can get web pages...you might go into the SSK folder and try applying "Flash Lite".....maybe your problem is related to that or somehow related to Java.

So strange because i tried to reproduce it and cannot. It would seem like the charging DLL's are the issue but I dont see why its not more wide spread? If I could reproduce it I coauld troubleshoot it.

I put the check there. I dont feel its good to constantly disconnecting the charing cycle. I never charge from USB. I only charge from outlet. Sorry. I have 5 battires all under 3 months old and I use one phone to charge them while th eother phone consumes them. I rotate them every three days.

Thats why I never charge from USB. If I am low just drop in another battery. With the "luxury" of flashing all the test builds I create I think I woudl perm damage the battery with so may connects and disconncts. Make sense?
