The longer I used and misspelled words, the more misspelled words got memorized and presented to me as options when I didn't want them, when I would NEVER want them. After looking in many forums, I did a search for all files with T9 in the name, and found Device\windows\eT9MyWords.exe. I have the Touch Cruise 2 with WM6, and I don't know if this file is originally an HTC added file, or WM6, but see if you can find this file on yours as well, and if you do, you might paste a copy of the exe file in start\programs so that you can find it more easily and keep the T9 remembered words what you want them to be.

I didn't find any other "solution" including deleting files or tinkering with the registry to work at all, and I tried a lot.

I didn't do any of what the last post says. I'm not in the habit of keeping magnets or credit cards in the same area as my phone. And, my screen on my 2nd shadow has recently begun to turn black. Also, during the day when I'm not touching it the light turns on for no reason and no text comes in. When it turns black I can't turn it off and then I have to take the battery out. Tmobile is sending me another one (new or like new my butt but..) I have no choice because I sucked in and bought this crapping thing in May 2008 when the seller at the store knew the Shadow II was coming out and said NOTHING. I'm stuck with this for another 7 mos because now I'm so used to the PDA/Smartphone technology and I can't afford to buy another comparable phone off Tmobile's website for $300 to $600. I wish Tmobile offered better solutions when you have issues like this. I've been a customer since April of 1998 and never gone anywhere else. HTC was no help either. They said they could fix my 2nd Shadow for between $100 and $200. No way because in another 7 mos it will break again.

I agree. My battery drained to one bar within 4 hours on the first day I had it. I took it back to the Tmobile store that sold it to me and the other guy (not the guy who sold it to me) told me to turn off the settings for checking email and updates constantly and to set them to manual. That helped a lot. I would get down to about 2 bars by the end of the work day and then I'd charge it on the way home and then at home and it would be ok.
The freezing part???? Well, my first Shadow only lasted 7 months. Then it started freezing and the keypad wouldn't work so I couldn't text or receive or make calls unless it randomly decided to work. Tmobile told me because it was under warranty I could get another one but they couldn't guarantee it would be new, it could be "refurbished." So, what could I do? I couldn't afford to upgrade and still had 14 mos left on the 22 month contract so I said, "Ok." They sent me another one and then tried to charge me $10 to ship it to me!!! Finally they waived it. The second one??? Well that lasted 8 months and now it's freezing, the screen is turning black, the right soft key and the upper back button DO NOT WORK AT ALL and the left soft key freezes from time to time so I can't send a text. I can't get into any menus or into sent folders or anything. I can't delete or erase my email settings for when I send it back. Tmobile is sending me another one. So this will be my 3rd Shadow. I have 7 more months on the contract. Good thing because this phone only lasts 7 mos. HTC was NO help and I was told that my described problems were not "known problems" and they had heard NOTHING from Tmobile as to any of my issues. They said they could repair my phone for between $100 and $200. NO WAY. I only paid $99 on the upgrade and it keeps breaking every 7 months!

This happened to me on my 2nd shadow replacement from Tmobile. I have no idea why. It just went black and when I slid it open it didn't come back. I tried pressing buttons and using the wheel because I thought it was on some kind of "screen saver," but that didn't work. Sometimes after the screen turned black it would re-start itself. Sometimes it would freeze and I couldn't power it down unless I took the battery out. Tmobile is sending me another shadow. This will have been the 3rd one I get. Unfortunately I can't afford to upgrade so I'm stuck with it.

"The alarm is very buggy. You'll need to install SKTools Lite and run it to fix the issue. If there's another way, I don't know about it. :( You can get the application here:

I couldn't install SKTools Lite In my Magician (4.5 years old) - it told me that there is an incompability. Did you manage to solve the recurrent alarm problem without SKTools? If yes, how did you do it?
Thanks,

I just purchased an 8GB Kingston MicroSD card and it does not seem to work at all for me in my Shadow. Any suggestions? I have the latest ROM version. MUST HAVE 8 GB!!

Thanks

"I need to has anyone had a problem wit the shadow over heating?I know phones get hot when on a charger but for some reason when its getting hot on the home screen when you scroll through the menus where it says what your on right behind it it is real light from over heating."

Check your e-mail settings, select menu, tools, options, send/receive or Sync options and change the time, I had it set to every 15 minutes, so I changed it to 60 minutes. The overheating has to do with applications running in back ground. Check the Task Manager for runing applications or tasks and close the ones that you do'nt use, keep an eye on this all the time.
