HTC HD Mini, Touch Pro 2 gets ‘SMS stability’ update

July 5, 2010 | By Surur

SMS on HTC HD Mini and Touch Pro 2 should get more 'stable' HTC’s HTC Sense SMS software does not have the best reputation for speed and reliability, and while it seems recent versions of HTC Sense have fixed the issue, this does not help users running carrier ROMs.

Fortunately HTC has decided to take care of current owners by shipping a hotfix for the HTC HD Mini and HTC Touch Pro 2. The update “amends the internal management of SMS functionality, and enhances SMS transmission stability.”, and is suitable for ROM version 1.36.XX on the HTC HD Mini and ROM 2.08.XX for the HTC Touch Pro 2.

Download the HTC HD Mini version here, and the HTC Touch Pro 2 version here.

The update should leave your data untouched, but a backup is always advised.

When Verizon released their MR2 update for the HTC Touch Pro 2 I said it was the best Windows Mobile handset for work. It seems Orange has listened, as the handset has made a sudden reappearance on Orange UK’s website, listed as coming soon.

Now if only HTC saw fit to throw a Snapdragon in there I may actually start queuing

Pinch to zoom on resistive Windows Mobile devices cracked

June 11, 2010 | By Surur

Ondraster on XDA-Dev is clearly one of the many who is not ready to give up the precision and accuracy of resistive screens, and has worked for 4 months on a way to bring one of the headline features of capacitive screens – pinch to zoom, to his HTC Touch Pro 2.

He has developed a small app which exists between the touch screen and the app below, and allows the use of the pinch to zoon gesture to zoon in and out of web pages on the Opera Mobile browser. He expects similar code to enable the feature in other applications.

The software has not been released yet, but should become public soon.

HTC Touch Pro 2 also gets a Facebook Albums hotfix

March 30, 2010 | By Surur

It seems the HTC HD2 is no the only device having mysterious difficulties viewing contact Facebook albums (clearly a feature no-one uses as I have not heard a single complaint).

In any case, if you are one of the rare ones who suddenly found they can no longer use this feature, HTC has a hotfix for you.

Download the hotfix, which is applicable to all ROM versions, at HTC here. The update should not affect your data, but as usual a backup is recommended.

PPCGeeks member platin465 received the Sprint Small Business Catalog which claims that the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 is finally getting a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade this month.

The Sprint Touch Pro 2 was one of the first to be released in USA, but has been the slowest to see upgrades, with both Verizon and AT&T seeing new software well before them.

Of course most people who really care probably have a cooked ROM already, don’t they

Sprint has let it be known in their forums that they and HTC are working on an official Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2.

Windows Mobile 6.5 Planned for HTC Touch Pro2 from Sprint

Sprint and HTC are currently developing a release of Windows Mobile 6.5 for the HTC Touch Pro2 that is expected to be available to customers by end of first quarter, 2010. This upgrade will not only provide updates to the Windows Mobile platform, but also significant enhancements to the Touch Pro2 user interface which will allow additional customization/personalization options and more integration with the applications users access most.

Of course most people who really wanted it are probably running a hacked ROM by now, but if you want to be sure about preserving your warranty official is the only way to go, so this development is certainly long overdue good news.

Does anyone expect anything unusual about the upgrade, like Windows Mobile 6.5.3 for example? Let us know below.

Hotfixes available for HTC Touch Pro 2 and Pure – auto-update for Windows Mobile NEARLY worked for once

December 20, 2009 | By Surur

The Update icon in Windows Mobile has always been a bit of a joke, but it seems there is some grumblings of it actually working for once.

With HTC’s recent release of updates for the AT&T HTC Tilt2 and HTC Pure, FuzeMobility reports that updates were in fact detected by the Windows Update utility on Windows Mobile, but when he attempted to use it it unfortunately failed to download the hotfixes.

Well since the Pure has a hotfix available I figured I’d see if it could be picked up from the phone so I went to Settings – System – AT&T Software Updates and shockingly it found an update. Then I tried to install it and seemingly nothing happened and then I got a text that it failed to work.I repeated a few times, soft reset, toggled the proxy…same result each time. … Of course, this is still a far cry from the phone telling me that there’s an update available without the user needing to do anything…and of course it didn’t actually install any updated. But hey, it’s baby steps, right?

Since we have to get the hotfix the usual way, read about them below:

Hotfix: Inconsistent Caller ID function on the HTC PURE/Tilt 2. | 12.17.2009

This Hotfix when installed prevents inconsistent behavior of the Caller ID function on the device

Hotfix: HTC PURE/ Tilt2 Freezes in SMS application. | 12.17.2009

This Hotfix when installed prevents the device from becoming sluggish and/or freezing in the SMS application on the device

The Tilt 2 downloads are available here and the Pure downloads are available here.
