I have this occasionally (increasingly) problem where either the keyboard will not work or my scroll wheel will keep on scrolling or the select will keep on selecting. has anyone else seen this? I am using the latest PTTfix and that could be the problem?
The first thing that should be done is to determine whether this is PTTFix's or the ROM's fault, versus a hardware problem. See what happens when you uninstall PTTFix, and if at all possible, what happens when you install a different ROM. If you still have that problem, then it's a hardware issue. (I apologize if you were not looking for generic troubleshooting techniques)

I'm using a similar setup, and the worst of my problems have been the screen alignment issue so many people have experienced. This started recently for me - I thought I was off the hook, even though my serial number was one of the affected ones...
@richy240 what does your SN start with and how long have you been using your Hermes before the SA problem happened? I might eventually run into the same problem... but that's definitely hardware, not software.
i have had this problem with both hermes that i have had... even without third party apps.. what i found to solve the issue is to use my thumb and hit all the keys on the dpad (i have a fat thumb ), center, up, down, left, right, all at once and then my keyboard starts working again..
Heh, reminds me of the Simpsons episode where Homer got "hyperobesity"...
The fingers you have used to dial... are too fat. To order a special dialing wand, please mash the keypad with your hand now.

i wouldnt blame it on black... i experienced this all the time with all roms on my 8525, now i have a tytn also and starting to experience the same issue... just started happening not even using wm6 yet... seems to be a hardware fault!

I believe most people face this problem. I hv no solution to it, but I personally believe this is not a hardware prob and it can be solved. Hope to start this thread so everyone can discuss this together and come up with something.
got this from other thread...

put registry editor shortcut in \windows\startup
put wififix.reg in \Program Files
all this does is set the HTCPreloadwifi=1 everytime i need to reset my device. i think the problem is the value was resetted to 0 everytime you reset your device. That's why the wifi doesnt work. not sure if this works for everyone. but for me its working nearly everytime.

is this a good idea?
Pehaps it is useful to give some more specific details. Indeed there are several users that run in to these problems, but many more (including myself) never experienced any misbehaviour whatsoever. There must be a difference somewhere.....
i faced the prob which when u set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, it revert back to 0 after soft reset. then i found that this is actually bcoz of the file "WiFiInit", which is in the startup. so i removed it from the startup, set the HTCPreloadwifi to 1, then power off and on it instead of soft reset (soft reset might work, just play safe.)

rondol1, will you stay here in this thread. who knows, we might spot the difference between your "working" device and our "half-working" device. appreciate that.
The point is, I never changed anything after flashing the ROM and WIFI works right away. I have noticed that with WEP encryption enabled things don't go that smooth. Without security OR with WPA enabled, I don't experience any problems with WIFI. About Bluetooth, I really don't use it, only to connect my TomTom GPS receiver and that give no problem whatsoever. But that comparison isn't fair, cos the TomTom app takes care of it by itself, without the general WM6 settings.
Perhaps it's good to mention that I use the latest WM6 builds, I red your post in some threads from older ROM's too. Could be that those earlier release had more bugs on this point.
i'm using Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4....actually wanna to load up other new wm6, but instead of avoiding, i think we shd try to solve the problem..
anyway, i am thinking about whether there is anything wrong with the registry that caused the prob, or any 3rd party software that is interrupting the bluetooth's functioning. is there any way to "compare" the registries?
I don't know, but I hardly use any 3d-party software. And about solving the probs on early WM6 builds: isn't that a Microsoft job? If there is a problem in the OS, we don't gonna solve it by changing some regs!

haha...ya...but i meant a cooked version of wm6. the developer might hv added something which works on his but not on others. any assumption hv to take into consideration. i guess that is how most probs are solved.
seems like no one patronize this thread...ahah , anyway i will still try to update what i've discovered until the next version of rom is up. who knows, people might be desperate and found this thread. i just hope someone will join in the discussion or i will look like a bloody fool who participates in my own thread.
right now, i insert btdwake and btlauncher to my startup folder. it works most of the time (not sure it works bcoz of the files that i put in the startup folder).
i still think that it might be a registry problem. will compare the registry with a working set's one of these days.
I've got also a problem when trying to enble Wifi, what you've done exactly? Does it works?

hi Gaexu. well...it is easy to make things work, but problem lies on the steps that make them work. enabling my wifi is fine, but not perfect.
I suppose your prob is when u go to comm manager, click on the "Wlan", then u see the radar (loading), after that, nothing happened, the icon still show the grey icon with the cross.
steps:
1.)first you gotta remove a file called "WiFiInit" from \windows\startup\ folder.
2.)next, go to the registry using PHM Registry Editor. go to HKLM\Comm\TNETWLN1\Parms, there are 2 reg dwords - "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi". change their value to "1".
3.)power off the device and on it back.
the reason to remove "WiFiInit" from startup is bcoz it seems to cause "HTCPreloadStatus" value to revert back to "0" after a soft reset. actually i've remove a few more things from startup, but i dun think there is any "linkage".
sorry about this, but don't expect the wifi to be enabled as easy before upgrading (at least not for me). to enable the wifi for the first time (after you soft reset everytime), go to comm manager, click on WLAN. then the radar thingy comes out, rotate a few round and disappear. while it is rotating, observe the "G" on top, it changes to the wifi icon and revert back to the "G". that means wifi is detected. click on WLAN again, and same thing will happen. now, push the on/off button to black out the screen(standby mode) and turn on again. wifi comes alive.
i am too long winded. this is my first time in my life typing more than 6 lines in a forum. do let me know if it doesn't work. good luck.
Thanks for your help
The Wifi works, but just for about 30seconds or 1minute... then it turns off
does anyone know this problem?
I will try it again and again,
thanks

hv u change the value in the registry?
Yes, "HTCPreloadStatus" and 'HTCPreloadWifi" have the decimal value 1.
HTCResumeWifi = 0
I will retry it with another network (not the one from my University) maybe it works...
Gaexu, so how's your bluetooth? working perfectly?
i looked through the registry and found that many of the bluetooth keys are incomplete after comparing with other devices...but i need to extract more info from a workin prophet...
Hi scarymoviesg
Now my Wifi works perfekt (not with the one from the University but with all the others)
Thanks a lot!!!!!

That post fixed my problem, as well as fixed the problem which the data connection turns off after a call.
Hey guys, sup?
I have a huge problem with my TELUS Touch Pro. Great phone, but just one problem...
Whenever somebody calls me, I can't answer the phone. The onscreen "Answer" button doesn't work, the Talk button doesn't work, pressing the Select button doesn't work...pressing the headphone button does, but sometimes my headphones are in my pocket, or sometimes they're not with me at all!
The only way I can answer them is by ignoring the call, and calling them back. It sucks big time.
Anybody have a solution? And no, I'm not hard-resetting my phone. It started doing this for my first call, so I'm pretty sure it's not my fault.
HEEAAALLLPPP!!!
Is this the stock ROM?
Do you have BT on and connected?
Mine started doing that yesterday. I did a hard reset and so far everythings back to normal. Still do not know what it was tho
I just had my TP replaced and the new one did the same thing, I did not notice until a few days later as I use a bluetooth headset and pushing the answer key on the headset worked. I had to RTN the device to make it work properly. Have not had a problem since. it has been aabout a week and a half.
Sometimes I've noticed this happens when my memory is tied up elsewhere, ie media player or something. Try soft resetting your phone every morning that might help clear it up.
I have had this happen with me on my Titan which I recently traded in for my Touch Pro, and also on my Touch Pro. I noticed it coincided with installing iGo8 GPS software on both. A hard reset was the only way I found to fix it. Uninstalling the software did not do the trick. I could be wrong about the software title I am blaming, but I have everything reloaded on my phone except that, and all is well. I do have a Slide To Answer incoming call screen now with the MightyRom 4.9.5 rom installed, maybe this is a work around, don't know for sure. If anyone else has more feedback, let me know. I would love to find a fix for it so I can use my GPS software.
Mine started doing this crap last night. I reinstalled the S2A cab and just let it go.
I am starting to think it might just be the telus network being a boatload of suck. Mine does it with the stock rom without any programs loaded from time to time. I am thinking it must be the tower failing to acknowledge that you want to answer the call, so the phone keeps ringing becuase it sees there is an incoming call but the tower ignores that you are trying to answer it. This is just my guess based on what I have read about CDMA, I wonder if any GSM users have the same issue.....
Do any of you have Advanced Configuration installed? This is what caused this problem for mine and my brother's TP. Uninstalling didn't fix it. Had to hard reset.
Yes, this is a known issue with Advanced Config, perhaps some other apps as well. Try this fix.

I can tell you that this will more than likely fix this for you. Mine was doing the same thing, applied this, done and shut! Good luck.
OMG OMG OMG thanks!!!! That also fixed the problem where it ended the data connection after the call.
Sorry I took so long, I THOUGHT I was subscribed to the thread...
Thanks again!
I have been tampering with my hero the last few days and now i have a problem. The part of the screen where the "^ phone + " is, is not working anymore. Even if i disable sense. When i'm in a game, that part works just fine. And when i press "menu" that part woks aswell.
I've put back backups wich didn't have the problem.. buit the problem persists. 'm wondering whether this could be hardware related. And what i can do softwarewise to resolve it.
Has anybody heard of a similar problem before?
(i'm on modaco 2.9 atm)
edit: when i wipe and install a new udate.zip (for instance 1.6 ion) the problem persists.
are you talking about the screen not working (e.g. a black bar, weird lines or something) or the TOUCH not working (e.g. graphics are fine, but screen is not responding in the lower area)?

Oh sorry, that was unclear. The display is fine. Touch is not working.
So, did a wipe. Did a rom update. did a radio downgrade. All these things did not solve my problem. Maybe it IS hw related? Should i contact HTC?
I also got the same problem : very few time, the bottom part works... I just sent email to HTC (in French, because I am ), I'm waiting the answer...
i have that issue too since last week. i made this video.
.youtube.com/watch?v=j9wTVpqur_I
Often this needs sent off to HTC to get fixed, from what I've heard
Anyone know how to solve this problem?? The phone won't go into standby mode. it just stays at the lock screen
Video on my problem

no one can help me??
Looks like you are using the CHT lock screen, know issue, buggy, a search would have found it ....

Not sure how many times this needs to be said ...
But going to join you in saying it again ...
Like i said, i done a hard reset and the problem still exist, which means that the problem does not lies on CHT.
btw i am not using CHT, this video that i posted is just for reference of my problem. (which the phone does not go into standby mode and need activesync in order for it to enter standby mode) the lockscreen that i am using is the orginal HD2 lockscreen.
Same Problem
I'm having the exact same problem with my hd2. I've tried the following things to resolve it:
- Soft reset
- Hard reset
- Task 29 reset
- Formatting my sd card
- Using Artemis and Chuckyrom, both same problems
I'm going to try a stock rom now and look if that works.
Are there more people having this problem? any solutions? Tx!
EDIT: I've installed the stock rom and replaced HSPL with SPL. I'm still having the same problem. I'm going to send it to the manufacturer. Good Luck!
Would you be so kind to come back with the result ? This is a very confusing problem. There are lots of people suffering from this already !
solved
i two have had this problem and have just found out how to sort it out. basically i tried everything new radio, rom, getting rid of CHT
and in the end all it was is the usb connection!!!!
all you have to do when unplugging your usb cable is make it come out on a angle left to right. there are obviously some very delicate contacts that get knocked out of kilter making the phone think its still on mains power when its not hence never turning off
you can confirm this error by unplugging your phone going into backlight settings and seeing if you can adjust you light setting on battery power if when you adjust your light setting nothing happens you got the same prob as me
Hi,
I have a problem when typing text on my x10 mini. The problem occurs when i want to change to an other word, and presses the little arrow so the drop down window appears. Or should appear, because sometimes that doesnt happen.
The box with the 2 most used words and the arrow, just dissapears and i have to deselect and select the word again to give it an other try. I sent my phone off to repair, and they replaced the whole screen, but still the same problem.
I found a few others on a danish forum with the same problem, but no solution. So i hoped that 2.1 would fix this. Debranded yesterday and installed 2.1, and still the same issue.
Is this a common (software)problem?
Or something hw related so it can be fixed?
Nobody that types on their phone?
The stock keyboard is pretty poor. I too have a similar problem selecting words.
Why don't you try another keyboard?
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I have the EXACT same problem.
The reason why I don't switch to another keyboard is because this is the only one that I have tried that when pressed does not allow you shuffle through the other keys thus dramatically increasing my accuracy and speed.
The error only happens once per writing session.. In my case that is!
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
Thanks for the reply guys. I like the stock keyboard layout, and for me the screen is to small to use any other.
Im suppriced that its apparently a pretty common problem. Seems strange that it hasent been fixed, and the carrier and Xperia support also said that they had never heard about this problem before.
So im finally so mad about this, so threw the branded firmware back on and found the box to the phone, and off to repair once again it is. Cant see why SE dont fix it. Well okay, the one or two coders they have, has probably been busy with the 2.1 upgrade
Let me know if someone wants to know how this turns out.
