Hi there,
Firstly I'm new to this forum and it's great to be here.
Recently I've unlocked a Novogo device - T700. It has iGO6 in it and I replaced it with iGO8.
There was a problem that the software was muted (there was not sound at all), but I fixed it by enabling screen-taps sound in the Sound settings in WinCE CP.
But now the problem is that it makes sound only after I tap on the screen, for example it starts navigating through the route, and when it shows me to turn right (for example) it does not say it, only if I tap on the screen (doesn't matter what point of the screen). Let's say I'm approaching a square, it doesn't say anything, but when I click on something on the screen then it says "square in front of you", even if I've already passed that square. That's really annoying.
Thanks in advance
hmm, bump...

Hello all: I really like the subdisplay feature of the HTC 7501, but it seems to be pretty fickle !!! I mean, it activates when I put the keyboard cover over (but only sometimes), and even when it activates, it will go away with the slightest motion of the keyboard.
Is this happening to all of you? I have searched in this forum, and there appear to be a few registry tweaks that modify the settings of the subdisplay, but do not solve the problem.
All I am trying to get the subdisplay to appear (and stay) as long as the keyboard cover is on. That way, I can see an incoming call's phone number and be able to answer it without removing the cover.
This shouldn't be too hard, should it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
ditto
happens to me too. bloody irritating (until i ditched the hardware keyboard)
Someone posted a Youtube video about this stuff. It was mentioned in a previous post in xda-developers but here is the link to the video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3KH6LS4j7Y
I have the same problem, I have asked in other threads for a way to toggle this manually, can a developer help us out PLEASE?
Also I found the commands in the registry that turn it on or off, but it relies on the magnetic switch, and there isn't a registry setting to toggle the setting to another feature such as a button....
The sub display turns on depending on the location of the keyboard. It's kind of a trial and error thing to find the exact location for the keyboard. For my unit, I have to nudge the keyboard a tiny bit to the right hand side (with the sub on the bottom & facing me) for the sub display to activate. I wish they would have designed it so that the presence of a keyboard is enough to activate the sub display...
I tried to find how activate the subdisplay via software, without success.
Then I decided to remove the bottom bar (I used vijay utility) and I installed resco today plugin in the bottom part of the screen. Turning on the display I see the status with keyboard closed.
Sometime I see the subdisplay menu so I move the kyboard to see the resco status
is there any way to jsut turn off the sub display?
Just turn off the unit, or place the keyboard like you usually would and you will see contacts/calendar
Mine rarely works, cant belive they missed this in QA.
It is really anoying, wonder if the X7501 suffers from this as well.

...Moreover I found the subdisplay really usefull. It shows even the picture of the contact, using ATHENA with BT headset is great!
Many features, bur also no way to have it working with PIEFRAMA case (the one with transparent window to see the subdisplay). Infacts, because of the cover, the magnets are weaker and the alignment is even more critcal!
I think we will pay to have a button activated subdisplay
Just to have an idea of the functions it has (call status, battery, network, data connection, sound):
1) close the keyboard, activate it, and slide the volume slider
2) receive a call from a contact with picture
3) receive an sms or mms or e-mail (3 different way of displaying)
4) Is working in any VGA resolution
The best solution could be to use a button to activate/disactivate it when the keyboard is closed

Indeed, mine is a 7501, so this appears to be an ATHENA device issue, and not limited to the 7500.
Too bad, such a great idea and so poorly implemented!
its a magnetic switch in the top of the unit the magnet on the keyboard must latch the swith for it to activate..
I have NO issues with mines always works...
if you run the right side of the KB along the right side on the unit you will see the subdisplay activates

x7501 here, and same problem. This is one of the top 5 problems with the Athena. At this point I just pretend this 'feature' doesnt exist; I rely on my Jabra to tell me who is calling.
Phone works and everything but the touch screen is not responsive.
Does anyone know how to call up the "Start" menu just using the keyboard?
or
How to press "Send" using just the keyboard for SMS msg?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure that it is possible. this has happened twice to me* (see below) and those were the only 2 things that I could not do. you can go to the program tab to the far right and start any programs you may still be able to use...
*I've had this happen to 2 of my touch pros...What I was told by a rep was there is a small plastic tab on the back of your screen. If you look on your phone where the volume buttons are...opposite side. That small plastic tab should be removed because this rubs against some connector inside the phone that causes the touch screen to die. soooo long story short you'll need to take it in and get it replaced
Sort of the same issue:
I've got a stock ROM, PhoneAlarm (latest beta) and a few other applications installed on this device, only recently has it caused me as much of a hassle as it has. I get a phone call and no matter if I press the softkey "Answer" button or the answer button on the bottom left below the jogdial, NOTHING picks up a call. Sometimes if I stab at it wildly enough it answers and immediately places a call within a call which means I can't get back to the original one i answered. It's frustrating and really annoying.
@sanjsrik - I'm having the same issue.
Using a Sprint issued TouchPro. Along with the 'Answer' issues, I'm also having problems with the screen jogging around. When I go into applications or the phone keypad, the screen is skewed, however if I touch the screen (in the correct spot), the correct command happens. For example, if my keypad screen is skewed (which only happens sporadically), it shows the '7' where the '9' should be and if I touch the screen there, the '9' correctly apprears. I plan to take the phone to Sprint either tomorrow or next and hopefully will have a clearer verdict.

Play pauses intermittently playing in short bursts as soon as screen is locked. most annoying.
Am I the only one to experiece this?
Anyone got any ideas?
I too had this problem. Playback would keep playing in spurts with major brief pauses as I walked along. The solution for me was to go into the start menu, then settings and tap on lock. Under the display tab i changed the unlock display from Windows Default (the slidey bar type) to Windows Classic.
Now i don't have any pauses from coreplayer when the phone is locked.
I also disabled the auto screen orientation change as it seemed to be that the pauses would happen when the phone tried to change orientation but the problem didn't go away until I changed the lock to classic. Before the phone was unusable as a mobile music player (unless I left the screen unlocked) - now it is only unusable as a phone due to the call quality problems.
Sorted.. thanks alot. My call quality aint great but I find it useable. another strange one is when I have the toshiba home screen on I often get the 'not enough memory' prompt, sometimes with just a couple of programs running. Ihate the guady stripey thing anyway but there does seem to be a ram issue.

I have the same issue, but in my case I left the win default lock screen with slider. Instead, I tried to play mp3 files with windows media player (the default one) - it is working properly so far (1 day of testing while walking)
what I would like to be able to solve though is switching off the screen completely so it does not light up in the pocket waiting for me to slide for unlock...
If I press the power button, the playback stops...any suggestions please?
One way is to use psShutXP
Then try to make the divice go to Display off not power of.
Another way is to use AE Button Plus
Then assign a key function for Display off. for example you can assign double volume down for Display off.
i can do lock , standby , anything with a bt headset ...
btw coreplayer has its own option to "turn off display" look for it in the options menu , should work for you guys

I am going to install it anyway, thanks!
I have a galaxy s2 running ICS (but the issue occurred) and I have a very odd issue with the keyboard that I am hoping someone could help me with. I have searched around but did not find anything already posted.
A short while ago, my screen broke and I had it replaced, good as new. Well almost. When ever I use the messaging app, or another type of app like that (Whats App for example), when you are composing a new message, and the textbox is shrunk down to one line at the bottom of the screen, there appears to be no input detected on that part of the screen, the send button (on the right hand side) works, and the other controls all work fine, just not the textbox.
So I figured that when the screen broke, it messed up that part of the screen, but other apps that have controls in that region (such as the camera app that has the photo button, or the lock screen with the emergency call button) all work 100%.
Its just textboxes at the bottom of the screen that do not seem to accept touch events. VERY odd.
Has anyone seen this before or know of a few tests/checks I can do. I am a new-ish user to Android.

This really sounds anoying but i know several issues quiet close to yours.
For instance sometimes on my sgs+ one side of the screen....in many cases the top side does not recognize any touching by me...
after loocking and afterwards aunlocking the phone everythings allright again...
i would suggest you to try to install a thirdparty keyboard from the play store.
if this doenstn work.....well maybee try another rom but i would send it to samsung to get a new phone...cus errors caused by wrong placed hardware are always comming back
fare well my friend
Hi guys, I just got the N7.1 last week, with Android 10 already on it (December update). Both are new for me, so I have no idea if these are Nokia or Android issues, but hopefully you can help me:
1) Ring volume is very loud! Even the lowest setting is still way louder than I've ever had before. Is this normal?
2) On Mario Kart Tour the sound is awful. Even on low volumes the game produces a loud crackling sound. Might be very game specific, but it's the only one I play atm
3) On the lock screen the upperleft corner of the statusbar shows the carrier. When you go to home screen this changes to clock. Quite often the carrier 'sticks' and also shows on home screen. I then have to go back and forth a bit to get the clock back.
4) Not always, but like 80% of the time, when I unlock the phone directly with my fingerprint, the home screen will show. This sounds quite normal, but I mean that it minimizes any app I was working with / had open while the lock went on. I've never had this behaviour before: it used to just go back to the app I was using.
5) Sometimes I get some serious lag while typing, until now I only notice this in message boxes on forums, like the one I'm typing in right now. During typing the letters stop appearing and everything seems to freeze. Then when I hide/lower the keyboard on my phone, the typed letters appear instantly and I can continue.
Cheers!
There are many bugs in the Android 10 update Nokia released. There are multiple topics about them in the Nokia 7.1 subforums. I know audio issues with games and other apps is one of them. As far as I can tell, Nokia has not acknowledged these bugs (even on their own forums) and there is no ETA on fixes.
I now see some reports of crackling sound, but do you guys have the other issues as well? There are a lot of annoying bugs!!
Yes!
All the other issues you face are common. The loud ring volume you acknowledged is common too and i too, face it and get disturbed by it too
The crackling sound you get in games is common too.
