Hi all - after searching the forum I found several similar problems, but not this one specifically, so here it is.
In the SMS view I try to reply to somebody. If it's a new message, everything works just fine. But, if that's like the 20th text (as shown in the sms list in the form of a dialogue list above the writing box) here's what happens: after a few seconds (or after software finishes counting previous texts) the writing box freezes up. I can still write, I can still see the suggestions, but nothing changes in the writing box. I can close the keyboard and then see what I wrote, then open it again and continue writing. In addition to that, I've noticed that the 'hide keyboard' button works in a strange way. When the keyboard is visible, the button is highlighted. I tap it, it is not highlighted anymore, but the keyboard stays visible. If I tap it again nothing really happens, as the keyboard is still visible, but the writing box refreshes and I can see what I wrote. I noticed this only happens when my phone, after a few seconds, highlights the message I'm replying to. I don't really need the friggin message to be highlighted for me, so do you perhaps know a way to disable this function? Should I use some kind of alternative keyboard, install new software? This glitch is not mentioned in any SMS firmware update from HTC. My sys: OS ver 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82), Manila 2.5.19211619.0
I use HTC HD2, of course.
I think your have a normal HD2, ive head about on here already, but its a htc "feature" so you can re read the message...the problem is the stock txt system, you start typing a new messge as your phone is still counting, then when it gets to the last it then pops up..there is a thead on here that someone has modifed, I cant find it at the min, but its there somewhere, most custom roms have it on already.Hope this helps bud.
try looking for on google messaging client or along them lines

I agree DCD, and I'm sure a lot of others do too. Post here or somewhere else. If you go somewhere else, leave us some breadcrumbs so we can find you.
I gave it a try, seems to run well. About 23meg on start up. Anyone else?
same here 23 mb on start up - with app. s2u2, GPS, TomTom, call calendar, s2p,and more .....
runs smoth ...thanks DCD
Gonna try this NOW....
SDAutoRun issue?
has anyone else had a problem with UC? this rom seems awesome 27.32mb on clean boot, but UC seems to hang and isnt installing anything. anyone else?
EDIT: nevermind. 1 damn symbol missing from my code.
I'm using this rom now and I don't have any problems yet. I'll post updates if I do.
same here. loving it so far
Were the vouge dialers calc and comm manager removed? They seemed to be when I flashed...
I also had a HUGE text msg problem where it tried to (and did) resend a TON of my unsuccessful texts and from months back...this was just after I did a simple restore with Pim Backup, it never happened on any other release.
My free mem was also less than 3.3.4, and 3.3.4 has 48.25 total whereas 4.1 only has 47.45MB total.
So, I'm still rocking 3.3.4 and loving it. I'll wait till DCD officially releases it as sometimes, he just posts things up there as beta tests for friends.
so heres a new one. my phone just HARD RESET itself. i noticed my text messages didnt have contacts anymore, tried opening my contacts and it said it oculdnt be found. i opened resco explorer to restore my contacts, and it said it couldnt be found. i soft reset the phone and it loaded the calibration screen and went through UC again. ****.
Text messages that have been read show up as NOT being read. I'm using Manila 2d, so I have to scroll through them a few times and they will finally be marked at read. Pretty annoying. I had to flash back to 3.3.4.
Neurom3 did that same thing, plus battery life with Neurom3 is horrible.
I don't see any problems with text messages, I don't see why people are complaining.
a) no one is complaining. just reporting
b) the problem is, every text message must basically be selected in order to save it as read. if you get 2 txts at the same time from 1 person, and open it, the 1st txt received will stay in bold us unread, unless you scroll up with the pad, passed the second text, and let the cursor land on or go above the contact's name. so this also means that if you have a pretty old text message that you never selected, you either have to delete the chain, or scroll up through pages to find your 1 unread text.

Hmm, I haven't that problem really, though maybe I just automatically do that. But I have BAD (black hole) reception at my house so if I try and send a text it usually says message not sent, click to try again. So it's never automatically resent texts and this time it was apparently successful sending 50 texts over hours of time - which I didn't know about.
I tried his one from Dec25th but it had the new IE app which I didn't like since I use lots of websites that work nice and fast with older pocket IE. The dialer and connection manager skins were also ugly. Haven't seen those in a long time...
After I flashed the new 4.1.0 ROM, everything seemed to be fine except the number 1 button on the dialer keypad disappeared. Has anyone experienced that? Is there a solution for the problem?
LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
I've just run into a rather odd issue. I was writing a text message using HTCs default messaging app, phone keypad (I find I type quicker on that) and predictive text is on. I tried typing the word cold and got all sorts of suggestions (make, colder, coldest, bold etc etc), but not cold. I added the cold to the dictionary and typed it again, still it wont appear. However, if I type colde and then delete the e it then offers the word cold.
Anyone else had a similar issue to this?
I'm on Modaco 2.5 and can remember having this problem way back when I was on the original firmware.
Odd.
Florida.
I have a Sprint Touch Pro, and I "think" this started after I upgraded to the latest official ROM 2.01.651.6 (I don't remember if this happened before).
When phone numbers show up in a message (e-mail or SMS), they are automatically highlighted as hyperlinks. But clicking on them launches the link as "sms:xxx-xxx-xxxx". Clicking through the security warning, it opens in Opera, which then shows an obvious error.
I want phone numbers to launch my dialer, so I can easily dial them. So, is there any way so that phone numbers are treated as "tel:" links instead?
maybe...
This situtation sounds to me like a bad flash or... you just need to HARD RESET your phone once to get all the configurations to work correctly. Let me know if this helps.
I have both shipped roms downloaded if you think you may have a bad download too, I can send these to you so let me know...
I'm on T-mobile and got an HTC One a couple weeks ago. It is running android version 4.1.2 with HTC Sense version 5.0.
Everything is great except for an inexplicable problem I have when typing on the keyboard (HTC Sense input). No swype, just typing.
Normally, if you type a word that isn't in the dictionary, it displays the word you actually typed on the "word bar" that pops up. It shows up on the leftmost side. If you tap the word, it will be added to the dictionary. To the right of that word is the word it thinks you meant to type. If you just press space, it will auto correct to that suggested word. So far so good, this all makes sense.
Now, I have an extremely annoying problem. Say I want to type the word "jellybean." I am very careful to press each letter exactly, and can see the letters that pop up above the individual keyboard letters as I am typing. All correct. However, rather than showing that I typed "jellybean" it shows "helkybean." It does this kind of thing with almost every word. Another example, I'll type "morning." The word that shows up is "nirbibg." This appears on the leftmost side of the suggested word bar, implying that this is what I actually typed, and just to the right of that (first suggested word) it shows "morning." In other words, the phone seems to think I typed "nirbibg" when I meant to type morning.
I am totally baffled as to why this happens. Even if the calibration is off, I am clearly pressing the right keys! The correct letters are shown in the little popup as I'm typing. Why, oh why in the world would this be happening?
Here are some more examples, first showing what I'm actually typing and what the phone seems to think I am typing. I am being very careful to push each letter exactly:
Hello, how are you doing?
Hekki, hiw are yoy diibg?
This keyboard is really frustrating me.
Tgis jeyboard us reakky frustratubg ne.
This makes absolutely no sense at all.
Tgus najds absikuteky no sebse at akk.
Clearly this is a practical joke of some kind.
Ckearkg this is oractucak jije if sine kind.
Riding the Saturn 5 rocket must have been quite an experience.
Ridibg tge Saturb 5 ricjet nust have beeb quute an exoeruebce.
Also, I will type a word like "of," pressing each letter correctly, watching the pop-up confirmations show the correct letters, and still it types "if."
I have bilingual prediction off, and the keyboard language is English. Swype is off, though it didn't seem to make any difference whether it was on or off. My dictionary contains the usual naughty words that everyone must add at some point, with no such gibberish. If I just type normally, the gibberish word auto corrects to the right word when I press space, but I'd like to know why it even shows up in the first place when I clearly typed the correct letters!
I am sure this is a simple fix but I am just totally baffled as to why this happens. Any ideas? For what it's worth, this only seems to happen when I type in landscape mode.
Did you try re-calibrating the keyboard? (Settings>Language and keyboard>HTC Sense Input>Advanced>Calibration tool) Even if you don't think it's the problem, it's worth a shot - it only takes a minute, and it does noticeably improve the accuracy, at least to me. I just tried a bunch of random sentences and I was able to type all of them properly on the first try.
Yep, I did. First I reset the calibration, same thing. Then I re-calibrated. Same thing.
When I am typing in portrait mode it seems to be fine. No such problems. Only in landscape mode does this happen, but the calibration appears to only work in portrait mode. If there's a way to do a landscape calibration, I haven't found it.
Make sure every thing is set to English US. Even under post spellling settings.

I am running arhd 8.0 ElementalX kernel had same issue under settings. Its due to the languages . turns out Italian Portuguese Spanish french were on and its auto correcting, just make sure English is the only one checked should resolve the issue.

Yep, everything is set to English. That was one of the first things I checked. This includes the post-spelling check.
I also notice know this seems to only happen in the Facebook app...when I use Gmail or SMS, everything is fine. Hm...
That is not such a huge problem then, but I still don't understand why the behavior would change in a different app. I assumed the keyboard interface was low-level enough that the apps would not affect how it works. Weird...

I don't have a fix, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone. When I try typing "autocorrect" in the Facebook app (no other app does this) I get "auticirrect".
But get this. It only happens when I hold the phone horizontally. Vertically, it types fine.
It does other odd things too, like the word suggestion bar will freeze, even though I can still type. While signing up for this account, it did it again and the Sense keyboard crashed and sent an error report. Hopefully a fix is coming.
This may be stating the obvious, but if this problem continues, there are lots of keyboards available you can try that won't have this problem. I'm pleasantly surprised by the stock Sense keyboard, but there are others that I like more.
Not Isolated
As far as I can tell this isn't an isolated incident, as I'm able to replicate the incident as well.
To replicate:
1. Open the facebook app on a stock HTC One
2. Hit the write status button
3. flip the phone to horizontal position.
4. type an "o".
5. type another letter. watch as the "o" changes to an "i".

Ok I had this problem to, I looked online for help and I found none, so this is what I did. I went to my settings then apps, then all apps and when down to HTC sense input. I disabled the HTC sense input, then I cleared the memory. I turned it back on after that and it worked! Try it out and let me know how it turns out
Facebook is the culprit, but may not be the only one

This worked for me, although it probably destroyed my personal dictionary as well. I'm still curious to know why it stored this specific data (that several people seem to share--I had the "auticirrect" problem as well) but seemingly only for facebook. Either it's a problem specifically with facebook, or facebook was using a different set of algos and files to autocorrect text input within the HTC keyboard's history. My suspicion is that this could happen with other apps as well if it could happen with Facebook, but I haven't run into any.
I don't know enough about the Android FS and what lengths apps are allowed to go to on unrooted devices, but I'd be interested to hear input from anyone that does.
I noticed when this happens to me , the language got changed. Just remove all languages except for English and you'll be fine.
It's mainly profanity that I have to make this damn thing learn.

Thank you! I got my One last week and this problem has been a PITA. Multiple google searches turned up nothing on it too. Don't know why I didn't think to check xda to begin with.
Same problem
I've had the exact same issue. cant for the life of me figure out the cause but interesting realization
The letters it replaces are the ones to the Left of the button, and only on the right side of the qwerty keyboard
For example, UIOP seems to replace letters with U < I < O < P. Im also getting J < K < L and B < N < M :/
Will try the fix suggested now but this is such a strange behavioral glitch...
Happening with my HTC one too. Sense my ass lol it's making no sense. I think what causes it is the stupid menu bar on the right which occupies exactly one key column worth of space. I don't use facebook so I don't know if that app has the soft menu bar on the right/bottom of the screen. The keyboard is offset visually but the autocorrect algorithm seems to assume the keyboard is laid out across the entire screen (ie even using the space occupied by the menu bar). Anyone care to check?
For what it's worth this problem should fix itself once we get the 4.2/4.3 update, when we can remap the menu bar to long pressing the home key.
