OK, have a weird one for you. Yesterday out of the blue, my TMO HD2 started capitalizing every word when typing, regardless of what application I am typing into. Very annoying.
I can 'correct' this by hitting backspace twice (erasing the initial letter and the previous space), then re-typing that same space/letter and this seems to temporarily help. However, a sentence or two later, the same behavior starts up again.
I am using the 'Full QWERTY' input option, and I have already tried disabling the 'capitalize the first word in a sentence' option in the input config area.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
long press the upward arrow (shift) button on your keyboard until the underlined arrow becomes un-underlined
Sorry, my fault. Wasn't clear. It is only the first letter of every word that is being capitalized. So text will look like this:
Hello How Are You Today.
it might be something with the rom (actually pretty sure is just a fault), you might have to do a hard-reset

I thought of that too. However, I actually just got finished flashing to the most recent 'official' TMO ROM 3.14.531.1, problem still occurs.

Hi sorry if this has been posted before, I couldn't find any relevant info on the boards...
The problem is with the phone app. Once the device has been used to make a telephone call, the phone app stays running and will not end (i'm using the switcher) unless I perform a soft reset with the stylus.
If I make say three phone calls I end up with 3 instances of the phone app running and not being able to end them?
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Dean
Do you really end up with three copies running, or are you speculating? That would be very strange. It is normal for it to remain running, but I've never seen more than one copy running. There is no way to close it, even with a task switcher (have tried three).
If i am not mistaken your using WM2003 4.00.05
If this is the case it happened to me on hourly basis so i downgraded to 4.00.01 & it works well.
I think its a bug and sometime you see the call meter still running but the actuall call has ended more u cant stop it but by soft resetting.
If ure using this version of WM2003 then your only soltion change the ROM version
:wink:
I have had my TMo xda for almost a year now, and have used every version of PPC2002 and WM2003 to date, and in every version I have noticed that you cannot close the phone app as well, but I have never noticed multiple instances simultaneously, except that the call log window does sometimes show as an additional instance. So to see two instances of the phone app running is not unusual. I have never seen more than two instances running though, and closing the call log does seem to close the second instance.

thanks for the replies...
You are correct about there being only 2 instances of the phone app running, there are never more than that.
i'm using the developers rom v1.1 r 4.21.00
The phone instances simply wont end using either the task manager or switcher. The phone shows the last number I dialed, which I can't get rid of. also to the left of the contact name just above the phones erase button, there is a little "m".?
I have the developers rom 1.2 and I can close the phone app ok, I just go to the switchers "lightening bolt" thing in the right hand top corner, click, click and its gone.
The "m" you see is the confirmation that you are calling the number which appears in the 'Mobile field of the contact record. The last number called cannot be removed without 3rd party software. Nothing to worry about and probably not worth fixing.
Um, you know you can turn the phone app off by tapping on the signal strength meter or pressing and holding the red ph button ?
Hi, yes I did know you could turn the phone of this way, but the phone wouldn't actually end.
Last night I upgraded to the v1.2 rom, problem had dissapeared. Thanks for your help.
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'm trying to figure out how to solve the problem of typing while I'm on the phone. For example, if I get a call, and need to type out a new appointment, I'll start typing on the built-in keyboard and instead of letters, I'm getting some numbers and symbols instead.
I'm sure this has something to do with the phone app, but it's a real pain to have to peck things out on the screen keyboard.
Does anyone know if there's a way around this?
Thanks
am suffering from the same problem, its not a problem but meant to be like that but am sure there is some kind of a tweak in the registery to fix the behavoir
Dito here, please post if fix is found.
use the onscreen keyboard
but its too much of a hastle, am sure its a registry thingii
Always deny, the same old HTC strategy!
Is a well Known WM6 bug in the HTC devices with keyboard. Well known to everyone, but denied from HTC!!
Same bug is in the Hermes ROM, in the beginning they said they will fix it but in my knowledge they haven't, just starting to DENY the problem!
Same old HTC story: deny, deny, deny, as in the HERMES screen misalignment, Trinity Start Meny problems, black Trinity peeling off.....
I asked about PK 2.0 rom but none answers....
Looks like this is a good lead:

I am running bionix nextgen v2, and It was working fine for the first few weeks and now I seem to be getting a problem where I cannot type anything, switching back and forth between the two keyboards does not help. The only thing that temporarily fixes the problem is restarting my phone. I can touch the letters and it will act like im typing it, even giving me word choices, but the word will not show up even if i use voice to text it will not show the words. Does anybody have a permanent fix for this or has had this problem before?

Try going into Settings>Applications>Application Management, click on "all" find your keyboards in there and clear data for each one, restart and see if that works.
I have tried what you said but the problem still occurs after some time after restart, also I have tried new keyboards but it seems that the words will not show up anywhere when I type them even for searching the web. And I know the keys are working because it still pops up as if I had pressed a letter
save everything and go to CWM and do a factory reset
I am having this issue... I can be typing along in swiftkey, thumb keyboard or the built in key board and after awhile the process of keying just goes crazy. I will hit a particular key like say n and all of a sudden 5 or 6 other random letters will show up. Or some spaces or some punctation marks or numbers. And once that starts it is hard to stop it. Every word I try to write just shows up as all kinds of crazy letters.
Anybody else experience this?
Not on my flyer, but my N1 will sometimes freak out and misregister key presses. Turning the screen off and back on seems to fix it though.

I use swiftkey and have never seen this problem. Have you tried the stock keyboard? does the problem occur there?
Problem can occur with stock keyboard or swiftkey. I am having a dog of a time typing this. It seems to be a function of typing for a long time.
I know this thread is old, but i am having the exact same problem and i dont know what its causing it. Do you think it might be the touchscreen itself? Or maybe the keyboard app? A custom rom would solve the problem? Is it a faulty device, or a characteristic of all the devices and there is nothing to be done about it?
