Scroll wheel dialing broke after latest HTC ROM - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I'm not sure how to search for my problem. I really dont even know what my problem would be called. Anyway, before I upgraded to the latest HTC ROM (that one that came out yesterday, officially) i could start the phone app, scroll my wheel up and that would show me my recent calls. if I scrolled the wheel down, i would get a list of speed dials. Now, i dont geth anything with the wheel. Any ideas what has happened? I have installed SPB mobile phone suite if that helps. That and the VC 1.6.
Thanks for any help,
Jason

There is a fix for this you will have to search for it but the cab file name is HTC_Smartdialer2.5.CAB
I no longer have it but if you google it you sould find it and the other cab that needs to be loaded for it to work.

Thank you for the link. I tried the above mentioned cab. I didn't realize that the missing function was actually called "Smart Dialer".... this didn't fix it either. I ended up HARD resetting. I didn't install anything at all and the smart dialer was working. I was wrong to blame the new ROM. I'm not sure if SPB mobile phone suite did it or the VC. I am going to install stuff back one by one checking the dialer after each install. Hopefully, it wont mess up again. or, at least if it does, i should be able to isolate it and fix it.
Thanks again,
Jason

found my problem... the PTTfix broke the smart dialer on the new ROM that was released on HTC's site yesterday. Hopefully the bug will be squashed shortly.

Wake on slide open?

Hi all. I'm the proud owner of a new XV6800 and I'm wondering, is there any way to make it wake from sleep when I slide out they keyboard?
I have been panning through all of my menus and cannot find a option to wake upon slideout of keyboard. It may not be possible...
Unless someone else knows of a possible registry edit or .cab file...
I haven't seen anything either, my wing did this and I miss the feature.
If you are using Pocket Toolman, which you REALLY should be, under OS tweaks, there is an option to click on, "wakeup when sliding keyboard".
Pocket Toolman is awesome!! And free.
http://pockettoolman.blogspot.com/
Thanks Benderhoggs! I was looking for something like that. Can't wait to try it!
Sure. You'll love it. One of the best programs I've gotten for my phone so far.

Looks like a great tool, but unless I'm missing something, the "Wakeup when sliding keyboard" feature does not appear to work on my Titan. Any Titan users able to get it to work?
yeah the wake on keyboard feature doesn't seem to be working for my titan...darn
It doesn't work for me either, so I uninstalled it, since other parts weren't either. Looks like a neat tool though.
Crappy Program
I tried this program. It didn't do what it said it would do and also when uninstalled left all the settings that it changed in place. Now I have to do a hard reset. Worthless.

The program was designed to make it easy to change certain registry settings. Perhaps you should've defaulted everything before uninstalling it.
Anyone know another way? This is a feature I'd really like to have

Has anyone discussed this with the developer? It seems like such a waste to do all that work on this app for it not to work properly. There is no place to post comments on the blog, and I noticed the app was just updated yesterday.
I'm leery of installing this with such drastic issues looming. I will e-mail him with a link to this post. His e-mail is [email protected] which is in Canada.

Hi xfortrenox,
Can you give more information on what problems you were having with PT2? What device are you using? You're more than welcomed to email me at [email protected].
I am not able to get the Wake on Slide Function to work on my Verizon xv6800.
Also, since I have installed Toolman, It replaced the CONTACT soft button with Toolman.
I tried to RESTORE the right soft button, but now I have a bunch of weird characters in its place.
Do I need to fix something in the registry to get back CONTACTS for my right soft button?
Thanks!
BTW, LOVE the program so far
..............
I think that a wake on slide open for the titan would be a bad idea. The wake on slide open worked well on the htc apache,, although if you think about how the sliding mechanisms work the apache snapped closed, so it woudl not open easily, the titan on the other hand is spring loaded, so any various movements could trip the device to turn on(if the slide open powerup was enabled). I had wanted this feature at first, but soon realized how randomly the phone would turn on if it was shook or moved a certain way, allowing the phone to slide open the quarter inch required to activate the switch. just some random thoughts about this topic, thanks.
I will have to respectfully and vigorously disagree. First off the power button couldn't really be in a worse place - the bottom of landscape mode... holding it in landscape means none of your fingers could be farther away from the key.
I am still holding out hope to be able to power this thing on with a slide.

would be glad to test a new version out if u get this fixed toolman... I'm on verizon using xv6800 with Verizon signed OEM ROM.
I'd be glad to beta a version that has wake on slide as well, using a sprint mogul with 2.17 ROM.

Phone dialler - misplaced text

Does anyone know how to fix this? Or what's caused this?
Really don't want to have to hard reset and reinstall apps one by one!
Referring to the "Call Hi..." bit on the bottom left. It's overlaying the video call toggle.
Cheers.
got the same problem, appeared after installing the hotfixes just 5 minutes ago.
I got that too after the hotfix install. I uninstalled the hotfixes but it still shows there.
Now if I try to install again it says "please use the correct version to install this hotfix"
I guess it didnt actually uninstall it
Installed that hotfix as well & can't reinstall it after uninstall.
Just looking through the hotfix exe's to see what its changed.
same here now i have to do hard reset?
Have the same problem.
I restored to an earlier backup.
Because even after UnInstalling the hot fix the text remains.
No probleme on french rom whit this hotfix .
Same as everyone else. Just noticed it when I went to make a phone call.
\Windows\Incall_02_B.bmp
\Windows\phcanhtc.dll
\Windows\rilphone.dll
\Windows\HTCLTB.png
\Windows\18c460d8_manila
These are the files from the two hotfixes.
If you:
1. Uninstall both hotfixes
2. Do a full backup with SPB backup or similar.
3. Do a hard reset.
4. Restore the backup but customise it so as to not restore the above five files.
It should go back to normal. Worked for me anyway.

Also no problem with German Rom and hotfix
Did UK users install UK version?
Can I check if the UK users experiencing problems downloaded the SLIDER fix from the HTC UK website or from the post in the forum which pointed to the HTC German website.
Please could you all respond.
Hello,
I am a UK user with ROM 1.14. Downloaded from the UK site from the European server. I have the "Call Hi" problem, but to be honest, I use the call history more than video calling, so apart from the icon looking bad, its done me a favor. If it was possible to make just that button look better, I would be very happy with its functionality. Video calling is still accessible from the menu.
same problem here.
the hot fixes are system fixes, when you uninstall, you are only removing the entries from the "remove programs" list, but the changes are not reversed. that's why it is not fixing the problem.
my only question is: which of the hot fixes caused this? I installed all three, and I know it's not the system freeze fix, because i installed that long time ago.

Hi Guys
I agree with Juggler258, it looks ugly but for me this is better functionality as well as I do not use video call! Peverse or what!!
OK - tried this a few times and unsure whether the slider is any better.

The slider hotfix.
i made a new thread about this problem, sorry about that.
It is annoying cause i want to make Video calls but now i can't because of this stupid hotfix.
Howcome HTC didn't saw this. I mean it's not some hidden bug - it's on the main screen come on.
@OFFTOPIC
The other day I sent their support an email about Flash and futer touchflo development. The answer was so lame I still don't have any clue.
It's not their job about flash,... they don't know at least not in the helpdesk blablabla.
Nokia offered me cool firmware updates and improvements - I hope HTC works that way too. Not just hotfixes.
Apparently HTC fixed this issue with the hotfix and video call problem. See this post.
EDIT: I just tried it and it works fine. Link to this HTC hotfix here.

Hotfix HTC e-club

Hi,new patchs are available :
- Hot fix for resolving a display flicker of the title bar in TouchFLO 3D 2009-01-07
- Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls 2009-01-07
this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468399
the slide to answer hotfix already declared not only useless but also harming. see here the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468608
even the clowns at HTC realized that the fix is doing more damage than good and they "make it disappear".
hope nobody else jumped to install this fix (if it is still there). a short search before post is highly recommended, no matter how good yr intentions are.
Those seem to be new fixes, anyone tried them yet?
I just did a filecompare on the original file I still had and the new "_HTC Touch HD_TouchHD_display flicker.exe", they are identical.
I don't have the original _HTC Touch HD_Touch HD_SlidingAnswer.exe anymore so I can't check that, did HTC actually fix the bug in it?
Theres original 1/7 published fix if someone wants to compare it to version wich is on htc support now.
If you want i can make a clean install cab with all correct fixes incl. without the unnecc. reg entries incl. uninstall.
let me know if you want this.
for now. here are all relevant files from all 3 fixes as zip
!!PLS: but as you know, the "videocall button switch to call histroy bug" is there inside and isn't fixed !
These belongs to file:"phcanhtc.dll" !!
So my tip - copy all files (exclusive "phcanhtc.dll") to your windows dir and let me know how it works and if a cab for it is neccesary.

Didnt realise there was anything wrong with the slider in answering call anyway. Seems ok to me...

I actually like that feature never really did use the video calling feature
I can dial video phone
Yesterday, I installed the hot fix of "Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls."
And I check the video call function, it's normal~
I didn't see "call history" on the left bottom. I also ask my friend to help to check it. His Blackstone is normal. We both can dail video phone.
Did I miss something or the HTC hot fix is fixed?
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
Yeap, HTC re-released a working version of the patch at the end of last week.
They have indeed fixed the hot fix. The one that's there now works fine. If you installed the old "fix" you can just install the new one on top of it - no need to uninstall
I've been trying to insyall the slider fix and it tells me I have the incorrect version. I just uninstalled the old version and installed the new fresh from the site. Any ideas?

Pocket Informant - got it working?

Hi,
is there anyone out there that's got Webis Pocket Informant working on the Diamond2? I've tried their latest release 8.51 and an older 8.10, both on a cleanly installed D2 after a hard reset. Installing goes fine, but when I hit the 'Menu' button in the lower right corner to go messing around with it, it hangs the whole device. I have to soft reset it afterwards. This happens as soon as I start up the calendar.
Is there anyone that succeeded with PI?
Works fine for me with 8.51 via desktop installer
No problems here with 8.51
Thanks for you reactions. I'm still having the problem. I'm now guessing it has to do with the dutch version of the software. After all, the menu that's supposed to open is in dutch. Maybe something is too long for the menu, when it's displayed by TF3D.

Same problem with MENU button in DUTCH version here.
groeten, Danny Groeneveld
I have tried the english version, which works good. Every several days it crashes on me once though. I have seen the text on the last menu option, which is Close, being deformed though. One time it didn't say Close but Go to, and when I clicked it PI closed, like it should. Strange behaviour, but the english version is workable, when you don't mind not having dutch.

Yeah, but I'm not a paying customer. I was just testing Pocket Informant, since a really like their Note2Self and Flexmail software, which I bought. Didn't buy PI yet though and won't, if they don't fix this.
I can confirm this bug as well. Don't have a Topaz but the Custom ROM's for the TouchHD seem to have the same problem with the Dutch file.
Posted on the PI forum. Let's see what happens
Hey there,
Same problem here. Only difference is that I have a Rhodium (TP2) with a dutch rom. So its not a device issue I guess, seems to be an dutch-rom-issue.
Device hangs sometimes (about every 1-3 days) when soft-buttons are clicked to show menus. Soft-reset needed to get It going again.
ROM: 1.19.404.1 (51489) NLD
Radio: 3.44.25.27
PI version: 8.51
Have u got a link to the WebIS-forum discussion you started over there?
There are two discussions about this problem:
For Topaz
For Touch Pro 2

New sms update htc

Morning all,
Just wanted to point out that today 14-01-10 there has been a new HTC SMS FIX rolled out from the website and its done the trick for me, sending/reci seems to be much better, loading of SMS threading now works still a bit slow but allows you to type a msg while it loads. I also had an issue where 'tap to start message' would not work on some contacts and this is fixed as well.
URL (Will not let me due to restrictions but the update is on the HTC site.)
Please let me know how you get on with this fix, *touch wood* one step closer to this phone being how it should have been out the box
Thanks,
Charles.
i havent seen any new updates in HTC europe..
Got it! Thanks for the heads up!
It's not on UK yet, but will keep checking! Thanks for the heads-up
Just installed. hopefully it will sort the problem
I can't find it. It should be for all countrys?
i saw the update on the south east asia site. perhaps those who cant find the update can download from there ? btw, do we needa uninstall the old htc sms patch ? weird.. i tried to install the hotfix, it says the hotfix is not compatible with ur device ! omgg

Chances are it's just a US update right now, and Europe etc will come later.
I don't mind - gives us a chance to use them as guinea pigs
by the way, those who have successfully installed the patch , do u guys have netcf 3.5 on ur phones ? jus wanna try locate whats causing the error . thanks !
Does anyone know if it corrects the problem when you press the 12# key the cursor jumps to the middle of the message?
Installed it, works fine. I never had the sms bug but this fix does seem to speed things up quite a bit. I did not uninstall the last hotfix, just installed it and done.
I do have the 3.5 framework installed

I am using 3.5 NETCF
And i did not install the previous fix
and once it installs, it auto soft reset, go to the remove program is not there at all.
Not available yet for me. Will try once it is there.

True, its not in the list.. quite weird
The update installed fine for me (CF 3.5 and previous hotfix installed).
It seems to have caused "- GSM" to be appended to the end of every text that already existed on my phone (both sent and received), but not to any texts sent/received since applying the update (almost like they accidentally left some debug information in the fix, as with some of my longer texts it is appearing on top of the date/time). Anyone else see this?

Good update
I installed it on a UK vodafone branded phone over the previous sms fix and it worked fine.
It's right here!

But who knows if it works or not...waiting for the first stuck sms report to appear.
