Since a couple of days, my MDA Vario 2 stopped vibrating when I get a phone call or a new message. I tried the volume settings (vibrate) and the phone settings (call & vibrate), but none of that helps. I also tried enabling / disabling event sounds (as can be read in another thread) but that also doesn't help.
I'm using ROM 1.21.114.3 (Dutch T-Mobile 20 june 2006).
Who can help me???
Btw, I tried updating the ROM to the latest HTC ROM, but the upgrade failed. (luckily my phone still works ;-) )
I had this same problem and also my vario2 included parts of emails when sending text messages, contacted t-mobile uk they was aware of these problems and done a software update, since ive had it back theres been no problems.
I remember that this can be caused by a certain software used to disable led blinking - did you install anything like that? Don't remember the name right now, but if you used it you will know, I suppose.
The leds and vibrate function use same library, so disabling first will disable the other, too.
I've not installed a program that modifies the led. I used PocketZen, but vibrating worked fine. I tried uninstalling it, but vibrate still doesn't work. I'm now using a T-Mobile ROM. I'm considering updating to another ROM to see if the problem disappears.
Ringer/Speaker Not Working
Sorry I can't help, but I'd to throw in a problem that I'm having.
My ringer/speaker no longer works. I've tried all of the volume/ringer setttings to no avail. Possibly a hardware issue?
I've updated my ROM to the latest HTC ROM, but this didn't solve my problem. :-(
Anybody any ideas on how to solve this?
Im having the exact same problem too, sometimes the vibrate works, sometimes it doesnt (more often than not), its totally random!!
At first I thought it might be someting to do with the strong magnets in the leather case affecting it somehow?? But now im not so sure:S
It only started a week or so ago but its soooo annoying and I dont really want to go throught the hastle of a hard reset or anything in a "just to see if it fixes it" thing.
If anyone has a solution (preferably not sending it off) I'd love to hear it!!
You could try installing PhoneAlarm, this application does a lot more, but one of it's functions is to set alarm/vibrate etc, it also has profiles and you can control wifi/bluetooth etc etc from it. Downside is that it's a Today plug in.
But, it does have a trial, and might be useful to see if it will correct your ring/vibrate probs.
Hello, everyone.
I am a newbie to Dopod838Pro. I have learnt a lot from this forum.
My phone has stopped vibrating, too. I have tried installing phonealarm and even hard-reset.
It still does not vibrate.
Anyone knows how to solve the problem?
(I guess the problem started when I was "too quick" to dismiss a notification. I dismissed it before the phone had vibrated.)
Possible solution for some see here:

I recently bought my HTC Touch HD and I was wondering what this greyed out GPRS logo means:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I am not sure if it affects the connection, but I think I can still call and be called, but not receive text messages. Although I haven't really tested that yet. I already tried searching the manual, but it doesn't mention anything about it.
I have installed the following software and updates on the phone
- Official HTC ROM upgrade
- Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
- TomTom Navigator
- HD Tweak
- TF3D Theme Maker 3.3
- Sprite Backup
- Pocket Sudoku (game)
- I244 Atomic Cannon (game)
I am not using internet on my phone yet.
Can somebody explains what this greyed out logo actually means and does to my phone?
Thanks in advance.
i had this recently but it was because i hadn't paid my bill!
think it means you have no internet access due to it not being allowed.
i thought it was a taskbar glitch
i had it for the first time the other day but only when i left coreplayer
i assumed the screen was having trouble coming back frm the display correctly
Its because your internet has been disabled.
You prob wont have mms access either.

I'm with PiLoT on this. I had this about a year ago and it wasn't just with this symbol, also for HSPDA. Phone connected fine to internet but symbol was still greyed out. It was a glitch which sometimes went away with a soft reset. I'm not 100% sure how I eventually fixed it, possibly a combination of changing taskbar/rom etc
i didnt need to soft reset though i just waited a few seconds and it happened
I don't think it's a glitch, I read somewhere that it's a different type of connection, may have been in the Orange guide which came with the phone... I'll try and have a look around for it and let you know
I get the greyed out logo when I disable GPRS Auto Attach using Advanced Config (in Data Connections section). The greyed out logo can be G, or H depending on the coverage at my location. Re-enabling GPRS Auto Attach sets the icon back to normal.
The greyed out logo just means that it cannot establish a data connection with the tower that you are currently registered with.
This will be for one of two reasons;
1) you've turned off your data connection (as the user above has)
2) there is a temporary problem with the network/tower
Once in awhile my phone will freeze when I try to answer an incoming call. If I ignore the call, mute the ring, or don't press anything, it's fine. But if I answer it, it freezes and I have to take the battery out and turn it back on. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the phone or the ROM (Dutty R14). Anyone else have this problem?
Hi.
I tried several roms until now but never had such a problem.
Did you eperience this problem on your previous rom?
If not then you shuould change the rom.Not sure if the radio could have something to do with your problem.
I hope this could help.

When I got the device it was brand new and I tried Laurentius L26 for a couple of days and I don't recall if it did it or not. I only used that ROM for about 2 days though before I installed Dutty R14 and I've had this ROM for the 2-3 months that I've had the phone. On both ROMs I've used the 1.14.25.24 radio which is, as far as I know, the one I need (Austin, TX).
Since you do not remember i would suggest to change the rom, and if the problem persists the maybe is not rom related.About the radio i do not know much about radios but you said that you have the right one for your region.I bought may HD from Romania and i am using it in Hungary, and i changed it a lot of times to different versions(your version 1.14.25.24 and now 1.17.25.09), and all worked,some better than others,but they all worked.that is why i do not understand this RIGHT region thing.
Hope this helps.. and that this is a rom related problem. Good luck.
I'll try changing the rom like you said. The thing I like about this rom is the look, it has the 6.1 style buttons and styling along with the calendar and call history options on the home page. Are there any other roms that offer this?

This is just an example
http://htcpedia.com/forum/showthread.php?t=313
there are many roms you may like.
usualy there are screenshots of the homepage.
i think that you want the htc manila and not the new htc sense.
As most of the members say there is no rom that someone can say that is the best.
I myself tried maybe 30-40 roms till now, and i still do not know which is the best for me.
So good luck.
i also experienced that on Dutty ROM
what i did was i turned off the password lock and its all fine...
but you can also try another ROM.

topix 3.1.2 is fast, stable, WM6.1.
I flashed a different rom (Energy rom with wm6.5 and manila 2.1) but I still have the problem where I can't answer incoming calls. Could my phone be broken? It's really weird.
similar problem with Diamond
I have similar problem with Diamond before
It freeze sometimes on calls and when i used iGo. I flash it with original rom and problem with calls was solved but it continue to freeze sometimes on iGo. I realosed that it freeze when batterey is low then 40% and works fine when it is full chaged. When I relace batterey with new one poroblem was solved.

It's very hard to test what's causing it because even if I keep everything exactly the same, sometimes it will freeze and sometimes it won't.
Could it be a problem with my settings, HD Tweak settings or something else, clashing with each other?
Or maybe I dropped my phone and broke some of the hardware involved in answering/ignoring calls?
How often it happens? Try to receive a call when it is on charger. If you have a friend with same phone just wasp batteries for some days as test. Try also to kill all not needed processes and see if it can help. Just discover the problem with more tests and statistics (started programs, free memory etc.)

What can I do to fix this? Restarting the phone always fixes it (although that's not really a "solution" per se), sometimes restarting the phone app fixes it. Sometimes the keypad is there, but is up and to the right (off the edge of the screen, covering the leftmost side of the list of calls).
i think i had the same problem. try changing to landscape and back to normal.

My phone dialer doesn't rotate...
Yes, annoying this. I got the problem the other day then things went back to normal after a soft boot. I am aware that rotating the app does fix the problem (until the next time) but have never tried it.
To get your phone app to rotate, install BSB Tweaks. Once done select the phone app as an item to be rotated which should give you what you are looking for.

Thanks, this fixed it!
Wondering if there's been a better solution uncovered to this than "rotate the phone". That's not very fluid since the phone tends to rotate/unrotate in call and the keypad disappears again, making using menu options in voicemail (for example) much more of a pain than it needs to be.
Don't even understand how this is a problem, given that my TP2 had the same dialler and had no problems...
Bump ...
No chance for a response here...?

It'll auto-configure on first boot.
BTW, the dialpad issue has been fixed for at least two months now - there's a dll or a cab floating around somewhere

Would really like to find these...searching the forums yields nothing...
Still hoping for a reply...
Try overwriting the dll posted by fards with total commander or resco. Using wm 6.5 myself so haven.t tested.

Hi,
I've had my Hero on Orange UK now for about 1 month.. I have been using various compass apps and even the spirit level apps.
All was fine until last week when I tried to use the compass and it failed to work/move..
I tried the spirit level apps and they have stopped working...
Is there a way to test the compass and G sensor to make sure what is happening ?
I did wonder if the driver may have been corrupted while I was trying the various apps. I have a lot of apps now on the phone, including paid for sat nav etc. It's my work phone and don't really want to send it back to Orange (or HTC) unless it is the last resort as it is needed daily..
Is there a soft reset that will reload the drivers ?
Any help would be appreciated
Have you tried resetting your gsensor calibration in Settings --> Sound and Display?
I didn't know we had a compass?... where?

I did have difficulty finding the calibration setting, seems a strange place to put it !
Anyway, I've now run the cal for the G sensor and it goes through the motions etc and says calibrated.
I guess if it physically didn't work it would throw up a failed to calibrate type error messge.
I just down loaded a simple spirit level prog (after taking all my similar progs off incase one of those was causing problem).
If I use the calibration setting on that it doesn't even move, that is what is making me feel more inclined (Could be a joke there !) to think that it is the drivers that are faulty and HTC's G sensor cal works at a lower level....
ddotpatel: The compass facility is (was !) very good. Some of the apps are better than others and are faster to respond. Just type in compass in market place, loads of free ones to try..
I really could do with finding a full original driver pack to re install. That may cure my problem...
Failing that, is there a proper SOFT RESET for the Hero, not just power off or take battery out. Something that forces it to reload drivers etc...
Thanks again for taking the time out to reply..
Phil-w
Ok,.... Next thing to do is to uninstall all compas applications,... Then reboot,... then calibrate gsensor again,... then reboot,... install compas app, try again.
If that still fails,... I'd run an RUU to restore back to factory set.
RUUs can be found in the sticky at the top of the development section,...
[ROM] Official HTC Hero RUU ROM + Radio Links
Well that did the trick,
4 re cals and re boots then downloaded new compass app, works a treat now.
I will have to keep checking if all is well. Try the same trick again if not....
Thanks
Phil
p.s it did come up this time with aborted calibration a couple of times but now seems stable.
Glad it helped pal.
Do us a favour, edit the title in your 1st post and put [SOLVED] at the start or end of it.
Peace.
Hi Guys,
I have a annoying problem with whatsapp.
When i receive a new message i open it and i see the latest message.
Then i open the keyboard to send back a message and thats when the problem kicks in whatsapp scrolls up a bit so i cant read te coversation, unless i scroll down.
This is only happend with new incomming messages.
When i open an older conversation whatsapp doesnt scroll up when i open the keyboard.
Im using custom rom cm13
I am nog sure if this is a specific whatsapp problem.
Anybody has a solution? Or maby more people with the same problem?
Thanks in advance.

I've noticed the exact same issue - I've even joined their beta program thinking that maybe they have already fixed the issue in beta (they didn't, it still exists). No real work around that I've found.

Thanks fort the response!
I made a new clean install and now it's working fine again.
I think it had something to do with immersive mode.
?? (wish they had a male version) I didn't even think to do that. Funny how you get ahead of yourself sometimes trying to find a complex solution... I'll give that a try.

After a while my prone started doing the same thing..
Still havent found any solution
I noticed the exact same thing. Initially it seemed fine, but it's gone back to needing to scroll to the bottom to see the latest message. I've tried using both swiftkey and Swype keyboards with the same result.
Strange.
Well maby a new update will fix this in the future, i hope sooner than later though..
I also have a problem with playing a video from the chat screen.
When i receive a video and download it, i cant play the file straight from the chat screen.
If i go back and reopen the chat then press the video it does play.
I is a little annoying when i receive a video, i have to close the chat, reopen it and then be able to play the video.
