I recently updated my rom using the official ATT / HTC rom udpate. I no longer have smart dialing and the great up and down short cuts to call history and speed dial... was this intentional? How can i get these features back?
Do you have PttFix installed? With the new ROM and PttFix installed, smart dialing gets disabled. Hopefully, Sleuth will figure out how to fix this.
Anyways, removing PttFix will bring back smart dialing.
Removing PTTFix didn't fix it for me. I had to do a hard reset and re-install everything except PTTFix.
PTTFix was definitely the problem.
Is it possible to reinstall the older rom and reload a backup made in the new ATT rom?
Yeah, I figured out that was the problem, I actually found the solution on another forum and then came here to see the huge thread on it. I uninstalled PTTFix and then did the security hack, fixed the phone. Hopefully the PTT hack is fixed soon because that is a useful button when it's not PTT enabled!

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings

ndee: why do you have to re-install the app?
After a soft reset, what happens when you choose the "load and fix" option from the tray?
I am hoping to spend some time on this app over the next few days. Many apps being fixed, one a at time...

Hi Vijay,
when I softreset, everything on the phone is back to the tiny layout. Even though I "load and fix".
Only workaraound I figured out is reinstall :-(
ndee
Strange - I know we spoke about this before, but then, after you re-install it works?
Have you tried not loading VJBigPhone, soft reset, load the phone (eg press green key, so you can see Tiny buttons) and then load VJBigPhone. Does that make any difference? Re-installing shouldn't make any difference, it doesn't load any settings etc from the registry etc...

I have some similiar problems. I'm using also the neweset german ROM on my MDA Pro and after a soft reset I don't have to reinstall the app, but I have to close it and restart it again to gain access to the phone application. Without close VJBigPhone nothing happens, after starting the application again everything works fine (till the next soft reset, which happens every morning after the daily backup)

I have an idea what might be the problem then.
The code was modified a while back to try to find the "phone" program without you having to specify the name in your own language (eg "telefon" instead of "phone"). However, it's possible that if the phone isn't found, it's getting confused. I'll try to look at the code again soon.
I'm not writing any new programs for a while while I do updates to all the old stuff
V
out of sudden, I dont need to reinstall anymore. Just after reset, I run vjbigphoneres and phone comes up full screen. Dont know what I did and how long it will last - keep you informed though - thx so far.
Any solution for the ugly video button of TM insight?
ndee
TM Button: I know you've spoken about it for a while, but I've got no experience of it, I don't really use my Universal I think someone (you?) posted one before, but could you send me a screenshot if you've got appropriate software, and if you have them, a zip of your extended rom?

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.
Try these links

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.

Glad you got it fixed.
I swear that my caller ID used to work on my Verizon XV6800 when I first got the phone about a week ago. Then I started installing apps and messing with HTC plugins and now I cant seem to get any of my contacts to show up when a call is made. I know the phone is able to differentiate between contacts, because the ringers are different per contact, but not every contact has a unique ring.
I have installed:
HTC Home
HTC Audio manager
HTC Tray App
HTC Album
HTC Home Customizer from emunutz
PocketCM Contact Manager
Various SPB apps
I havent listed the SPB apps, because Caller ID was working after those programs were added and only seemed to stop after I installed the HTC stuff. Does anyone know if any of the above programs would interfere with the caller id functions? I cannot seem to find any setting in any of the programs that turns CID on/off. I have tried to edit the registry CallIDMatch DWORD value, to no avail. I am at a loss here, and I really dont want to have to reset the phone to get this to work again. Please help if you can. Thanks!

Did you find a solution to this? I'm havimg the same problem too. I installed the latest ROM for Titan and I don't get call ID either.
It works now after a complete wipe and reinstall of all the software. I havent gone as far as to put a different ROM on it yet, though I want to enable the GPS. It must have been some weird random thing that occured during a software install or something, because it works perfectly now. Sorry I cant be of more definitive help.

Had no caller id on xv6800 on VZW after upgrading from stock to dcd 3.2.6 (and having VZW re-authorize). After many soft / hard resets, reinstall verizon cab, many *228 #1, *228 #2, reinstalled all three roms (tried just dcd 3.2.6, didn't work). Nervously (had 3.2.6 still installed, didn't want to flash back to VZW stock ROMS) called VZW to ask them to "check" caller id... it was "on", but nice lady unchecked it (said VZW would mail letter since I discontinued caller id service) and rechecked it... no *228 or anything... NOW it works just fine! 20 hours of google/ registry / software fiddling (I HAD the GPS working great), and "the authorization sometimes messes that up." !!!
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.
Hello!
I'm just trying the IneSoft Phone 4.4, because of its nice History features and callerID. I installed the trial version and initially everything worked fine. But after two days the CallerID does only show the default screen, instead of the skin i selected. Although I tried to select different skins and soft-reseted the phone I always get the default skin.
Does anyone has the same problem or any idea how to fix this issue?! (Reinstalling did not help!)
Or even better: Is there any free callerID supporting the "Mute Call" function (SUS2 unfortunately only support accept/reject call).
greetings,
gordon
Me too
Did you get any reply about this or find a solution elsewhere?
maybe because it's trial that's why it always displays the default skin.
I've searched many forums including Modaco and found a few posts from users having the same problem but unfortunately no solution
I dont think because its trial because initially it worked properly. The trial period is 14 days and it stopped working after three days. I checked the registry keys of inesoft and also the registry contains information to use the right callerID skin (standard_v.cid).
I'm uninstalling this program now and looking forward to try Iconsoft PhoneEx.
I had same problem and moved to Iconsoft Phone extender 1.2 which basically does the same function.
Hello! I've the same problem with IneSoft Phone 4.4, I've tried to uninstall the software then delete the registry keys and reinstall it again, the problem still here.
So I try the Iconsoft Phone Extension 1.2, it's look great and more smooth than the IneSoft Phone. However, I've found that the "#" button is no function after install this software.
So I'll get back to the IneSoft Phone, although just only could use with the default skin.
i have inesoft phone for about 2 months now but version 4.2 only but doesn't give me any problem like what you guys described
