Is your TyTN II registered with HTC as well?

If you cannot provide your POP, your product will be warranted within the above period. Well, I'm not sure if there is another place to register your phone other than via the e-Club. That's why I said the as-well part of my last response. There very well may be one spot to register (which would be the e-Club). If you're still having problems, you might try this link since Paul has it posted here. I believe it's the same ROM HTC is publishing.

I wouldn't get too excited. I flashed my TyTNII yesterday, and frankly there is nothing that you're missing out on. From what I can see, the changes are:
o Zoom in IE - completely pointless o SMS threaded conversations (completely pointless) o Slightly different layout in Email account setup screen o Restoring the device from standby doesn't return to today screen by default (i.e., apps aren't minimized when you press the power button). o MS Live installed by default (I use Palringo so it's irrelevant) o There's some new rubbish from MS to help with "getting started" and to report crashes to MS. There is no performance differential (other than that gained by doing a hard-reset). So it's hardly worth the effort, really. On a similar note, does anyone know how to change it so that apps are all minimized when restoring from standby? |

I really appreciate this information as I was just about to upgrade and now I know I wont gain anything and according to other posters, I'll even lose quite a chunk of memory. If only there was a performance increase, but I guess HTC will never be in my consideration regarding mobil phones anymore. I burned my fingers on that one (fortunately, it wasn't my money, but it is still a huge let-down). |

I completly agree with your comments too - once you have the phone setup correctly there are very minor changes. Performance increase - what increase, the only change I have seen is in typing using the onscreen keypad Also point out to everyone that this is purely for HTC branded phones, anything supplied from any of the networks cannot be registered at the HTC site and therefore cant download the update. The networks themselves are working on an update (so I understand) and will become available shortly. -------------------- Jim

I have a Vodafone V1615, which had HardSPL installed six months ago, allowing me to the flash the original HTC Rom back then (Win 6.0).
Of course with HardSPL installed I could install this new 6.1 update on my branded device, and did so at the weekend. On the whole I felt it was an improvement to the original, but it was freezing in quite an irritating way - button presses getting ignored, then coming back to life a few seconds later, that kind of thing. It now turns out that this behaviour is caused by HardSPL - HTC have updated the SPL in the new Rom, which HardSPL users weren't getting. I re-flashed my phone with just the SPL portion this morning (without losing any data happily) and it's now running perfectly. For me, this update definitely is much better - aside from the few new features of 6.1 (threaded SMS and the new IE are both nice) the whole thing feels much snappier and more responsive. Screen changing (portrait to landscape) is more pleasant, tho not any faster, and there are less delays generally. It's no miracle cure for the driver shortcomings, but it's a step in the right direction, and I'm definitely sticking with it. |

Just flashed my HTC branded phone, I forgot that I will need to reinstall sprite backup on the device to restore my backup! and I forgot to connect my DVD writer to my new PSU when I installed it the other day, so now I have to dismantle my PC to connect the DVD drive in order to install sprite backup to restore my settings!
AHH wish I hadn't done it now ;-) EDIT: Oh wonderfull, I used the version of sprite backup that came on the disc with the Tytn II to backup my device when it had WM6.0 on, now sprite backup tells me I should use a device upgrade file to restore onto a different rom versio, this is supposedly available on sprite software website, had a quick look couldn't find anything so am restoring anyway, fingers crossed :-) I really don't want to lose that backup as it will involve another trip to my mobile provider to setup data services again. EDIT2: Ok so it failed now I`m stuck at the HTC screen, I`ve tried to do a hard reset following the instructions I`ve read on the net but it doesn't seem to be doing it, how do you perform a hard reset? Looks like I`m going to have to take a trip to my mobile provider. EDIT3: Ok do I`ve managed to hard reset it (there was a bit of a technique to it and it refused to do it at first) and I`m now back at the align device screen, so the moral of this story is: don't flash your device thinking you can rely on a backup you made with sprite backup, unless someone can find this device upgrade file talked about, it would be nice to have that. EDIT4: Oh great looks like I should've used a tool available from sprite backup to create this device upgrade file before I flashed the ROM, ok its off to the mobile operator I go!!

One other thing to add, re: the new "threaded SMS conversation" feature.
When I send an SMS, it appears as a conversation, despite the fact that the recipient hasn't responded. So I send a text, and immediately it appears in my inbox. How counter-intuitive and dumb. Perhaps MS should have looked at how Google implemented threaded conversations in GMail before attempting this. Anyone know how to turn it off and revert to the 'normal' style? I don't want to read the SMSes I've sent - I wrote them, and I know what's in them. I want to see the SMSes I've received.
