No idea how to reproduce it - it's something that may or may not occur after using the device for a while.

Can you specify which bugs they are & how these bugs can be reproduced? Thanks! Andreas,

You mentioned that “there are some bugs related to Exchange policies and shell protection in some firmware versions of the Touch Pro 2″. Can you specify which bugs they are & how these bugs can be reproduced?
Thanks!

My TMO TP2 (HardSPL) is running the stock HTC Asian WWE 2.07.707.1 ROM (SenseUI 2.5.20121225) & Security unlocked. I sync my contacts through AS-Exchange. It was working fine before DE but after DE, I discovered this issue. I have about 1000 contacts in the contact list so I'm not sure if this is related. I am still able to add a new contact via the new incoming number or number dialed using the Phone UI but I'm not able to search for contacts using HTC People. This is very strange indeed. Andreas,

I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 here which should be similar to your T-Mobile branded version but obviously with some minor differences in firmware. I added a contact through the Sense UI. I installed DojoCrypt and enabled encryption. Forced to reboot, and device encrypts itself. Still able to use People/Contacts. Able to view the contact I created before encrytion, and able to add new ones as well. So I'm not able to reproduce your issue. And being honest with you - I do not know what is going on either... Are you adding contacts locally, or are these contacts added through an ActiveSync partnership with Exchange? I know there are some bugs related to Exchange policies and shell protection in some firmware versions of the Touch Pro 2, but I don't feel there's enough indicators here to immediately pin it down as an HTC issue...

I've since discovered that with device encryption enabled, I can no longer access the default HTC People in the Phone UI (replaces Contacts). When I look up contacts in HTC People, all I see is an "A". Do you know what this is about? I tried to exclude pim.vol to test but it does not seem to work. Checking the status after a reboot indicates that it is still encrypted. Any ideas where I can start to troubleshoot? Andreas,

When disabling encryption the initial screen should however be disabled. The power-on-password might still be present, but should be possible to turn off again manually if you like. I would try to disable the power-on-password to see if that gets rid of it - if it doesn't it might be a bug in the OS build. (DojoCrypt just provides a graphical interface to features provided by Windows Mobile itself.)

It said "Company Policy has enabled Device Encryption. Startup is suspended. Select Unlock to contine." Even after disabling encryptation and uninstallin dojocrypt this initial screen keeps coming. Any idea of how take back my device to the purest unencrypted state, with no anoying screen at the begining? thanks in advance for your help.
