The Fix:

As we mentioned in much greater detail during our section on the HTC Titan II, Microsoft Marketplace is at this moment lacking applications that Apple and Android
have. For users who absolutely need a specific app or game, make sure to check to see if Microsoft Marketplace supports it.

For the purple screen fix, Nokia actually went ahead and pushed out an update for it earlier this month that solves the issue for the majority of users. To solve the purple
screen tint issue, do the following:
• Plug the Lumina 900 into your computer
• Run Zune for Windows
• If Mac: Rune Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac
• Grab the update and reboot your device

To make sure your camera wakes up your phone from standby mode, do the following:
• Turn the device back on (camera mode won’t work)
• Exit any apps currently running
• Go back to standby mode
• Hold the camera button it will launch
• If expected to use camera button to “wake up” the phone in the future, make sure to
exit all apps before entering standby mode.

The Fix:

Unfortunately, there isn’t one. The biggest issues with the HTC Titan II aren’t software or usability issues. They are hardware issues, caused by the engineering of the phone
itself.

Since Microsoft requires all phones made on the network to have a 800x480 resolution, screen size can be just as much a drawback as it is a benefit. That is most definitely the case with the HTC Titan II. The display isn’t a disaster of course, but it definitely isn’t a phone that is going to wow you with its picture quality. This is a phone made for non-
media heavy users who aren’t going to be watching videos on the device.

The same problem goes for the fact that users can’t find popular applications from Zynga or other developers. While more are coming in the future, the Windows Marketplace is still in its infancy and does not have the momentum or inventory that Apple and Android do

The Fix:
In order to fix your lost microphone issues follow these steps:
• Do a hard reset of your device. Please keep in mind that will remove all of your
phone’s data, including apps you’ve downloaded and your account data. Make sure to
backup your information before proceeding.
• Go to Apps
• Go to Settings
• From the “Personal” section, click on “Backup & Reset”
• Click on “Factory Data Reset”. This will perform a hard reset.
• If you still experience issues:
• Download Android 4.0.4 IMM76K radios. Along with potentially fixing the lost
microphone issue, it will help improve your 3G or 4G connectivity and improve signal
strength.
• The second option is to download AXIOM CMPLX 4.0.4. Since this is a custom ROM,
following the download it is required that you flash your drive

In order to improve your battery life, follow these steps:
• Download the free app “JuiceDefender”, which helps you to manage your battery life
• Shut off your phone and charge it overnight
• Disable all background app check-ins
• When you have the choice, always surf the internet via Wi-Fi instead of 4G
• Turn down the brightness of your screen
• Automatically have your phone go to sleep as quick as possible when not in use (we
recommend somewhere in the 1 minute range)
• Disable Bluetooth
• Disable auto-synch for applications
• Turn off location settings

The Fix:

The memory card appears to be the biggest cause of this rebooting problem, and luckily
for consumers there seems to be a way to solve the issue.

Complete the following steps in order to either completely solve or greatly reduce the
number of restarts your device automatically undergoes:
• Remove the memory card
• Remove the battery
• Wait 30 seconds and reinsert the battery
• Insert the memory card into a computer or a reader connected to your computer
• From your computer, open the memory card folder
• Backup all memory card data to your computer
• From your computer, right click the memory card folder
• Select “Format” and then “Start”
• Following the formatting, turn off your Curve
• Insert the memory card back into your phone
• Enjoy a Blackberry Curve that doesn’t randomly restart

If this does not solve the issue, you will have to purchase a new memory card for your phone
