I picked up my Fuze today, right after work, and not to be too surprised that not many people had gotten this phone. It's funny how the employees were all 'ohh' about it wishing they had waited instead of buying the other phones. Anywho... I thought it was possible to change the background on the Fuze by default [w/o installing any cab files, etc.]?Also, when I tried to change things on my today screen, such as putting the device lock on the today screen, it never shows up. When I go back into the settings, the box is unchecked, repeatedly. I can not get this to work.And I thought when the stylus was pulled out, it was supposed to wake up my device? Is there any settings for this, or what?Lastly, I know most people don't care, but when I went into the AT&T tab, and selected the Games & Apps folder, it was empty. Is this the same for everyone? Can my phone be defective? I think this phone is nice, certainly something that I'd have to get used to, but I'm questioning if I rather keep my tilt or not.

Fuze Issues?

The only problem I seem to have is a sync problem. Sometimes it syncs up just fine others it does not. It takes a couple times to plug it in and it finally syncs up. I believe it has something to do with the phone not recognizing when the device is plugged in. I notice when I plug it in sometimes the 3g designation stays on and thus no sync. Other times it goes directly to the arrows pointing different directions indicating it is trying to sync. Hope they come out with a fix sometime.

You might want to try this & see if it helps your sync issues.

Settings > Connections > USB to PC. You should have the Activesync enabled. You might want to try unchecking the box for Enable advanced network functionality.

I am having the problem now with the stylus not waking up the phone, what is ATTs replacement policy? Do I have to gather all of the accessories up or will they just swap out the phone? or will they have us go through htc?
Just an FYI...the stylus waking up the unit feature works for me...

That feature works by means of a microswitch near the mouth of the stylus silo. If you look inside with a flashlight, you'll see a small switch that is supposed to pop up when you remove the stylus. Some people have reported it getting stuck in the depressed position and that they have been able to free it with a toothpick. If not, then you should definitely exchange your phone for a working unit.

(I don't know AT&T's replacement policy.)

I think I figured out my problem, at least here on my work machine. I have Blackice running as a firewall. I turn that off and it syncs just fine. I will see what I have at home that is screwing it up there. I am sure it is something going. Thanks for your input

found my own fix if anyone else is having this problem. Issue solved.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441656&highlight=word+completion

I went to this link and tried their solution but it didn't work for me. Instead, when you're in a doc or message and using the touch keyboard, if you touch the arrow next to the keyboard icon (bottom center of screen) a menu pops up. At the top of the menu is "Touch Input Settings". If you click on that you can check the boxes next to the options you want to use. This only works for the input options that are preinstalled. I installed SPB keyboard and I can't get word completion to work though.

Also, does anyone know how to get word completion to work with the slide out keyboard. I'm having no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I turn the volume button all the way up, but still I can barely hear the caller.

Same hear. It's up full but hardly anything audible. The rear speaker and music/video playing is fair to good. ( and WHY would someone put a speaker on the back of something you watch on the front!?) Head phones are good and strong, but that ear speaker stinks! Anyone other that gadgetgurl and me having this problem - got a fix?? Thanks, ed

I don't know if it is the same as the in Fuze as it is in the Tilt, but you have to adjust your call speaker phone while making a call.

During a call, touch the speaker phone icon on the top bar and adjust it like normal

Might be quite silly of a question, but I find that on the keyboard, one of the important symbols was left out

The ' key is not on the keyboard. I really prefer to use the qwerty than the on screen, but trying to type words like

don't, can't, etc. can't be done correctly. Lol... I wonder if anyone else noticed this?
