Scroll wheel dialing broke after latest HTC 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.

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.

[FIX] WirelessNotifyOff -- Disable FUZE's Wireless Notification Popup

In the long tradition of KaiserSimFix, here's something for the broken Wireless Networks detected pop-up in the OEM AT&T FUZE rom that is hardcoded to ON after each soft-reset.
Install the cab and it will install the program into the right places to auto-start it after each soft-reset. You are also given the option of running it immediately.
I acknowledge that chetstriker did it first Nov/2008 in his thread, but mine does all the installation work for you, is coded in C optimized for ARMv5T, exe compressed, and takes less storage.
Takes 11K of storage and 1K of ram.

Thanks for the mention. I'm glad you added it as a .cab I just never got around to it.

Thanks for being nice after I stepped on yours. I actually created the fix right before I found your thread.. ^_^;
I also added you into the Wiki for this fix, since the Wiki was saying there's no known fix, and you've fixed it a while already.

hi there, i have the same annoying issue with the tough3g after every soft reset. can i use this cab file on my device too?
thanks

tried it and it worked on the HTC touch 3g!

Thanks!!!
This tool is also working for me!

Cannot switch off default Android Keyboard

Hi all,
I have noticed a strange issue with my UK Vodafone HTC Magic (default factory build). I downloaded the slightly better HTC keyboard Touch Input and installed it to my phone. If I go to "Settings" > "Locale & text" I can see the option to turn on the Touch Input, but have no option to turn off the Android Keyboard. Hence, as it stands I cannot use any alternative keyboard (e.g. the HTC one or even Better Keyboard), as I've no means to turn off the default keyboard.
Can any other UK owners confirm that this is the case? Only I have searched all over the place and cannot see any reference to this issue. I am assuming it is a restriction of build to ensure people don't switch off the keyboard in error, rendering the phone useless as it has no hardware one to fall back on. Nonetheless though, it does seem rather odd.
If I am correct and it simply isn't an option, is there anything I can do to enable it short of rooting the phone?
Thanks in advance for your help!

same issue here after installing key
I had the compact keyboard working on the jf 1.51 build on my G1, but not on my Magic.

Yeah this is 100% factory spec - ie as its received out the box from Vodafone. Hence I'm guessing the option has been hidden,which seems pretty daft. I'm assuming I could still do a Force Close on the Android Keyboard to force the issue, but obviously that isn't a long-term fix.

Took me a little while to figure this one out but it doesn't set it as the active keyboard by just enabling it in 'settings'.
You have to go to an input box (eg. compose a text message) and select the text input box using the trackball (hold it down) after a few secs a menu appears allowing you to choose your keyboard.

Funny enough I was just coming in here to say that I'd found the solution, but you beat me to it! The one I found was pressing and holding the "123?" button, which then brought up the option to select the input method. Worked a treat.
Thanks for replying though; had I not stumbled on the answer myself you would have been a lifesaver!

Where we I find the HTC KB, i had a look on another post which suggested a file name .. HTC Chime i think - But googling that yielded nothing - Any clues anyone?

Found out one that works and installs w/o issue.
I downloaded the file called HTC_IME.apk, and this installed, without any issues. Works great, and has Full Size Qwerty, xT9, and Compact Qwerty(like Blackberry Pearl). Do a search on google for HTC IME.apk+android, and install it. Issue resolved!

Big big big thank you to swifty and trickshot!!! I had this working on my G1 and could not get it working on my magic, I was getting so frustrated. You ARE lifesavers!!

great discovery, thank you very much for this discovery, i'm going to install htc_cime again

Thanks, it works for me too

thankz gentlemen. i had searched every forum except this one(the only one im registered to) the keyboard was the only reason i could find to switch back to my samsung epix. that and a call recorder that workz. thankz

No numbers on Full Qwerty keyboard...

Dunno what happened, I've updated with the latest 2 ROM updates (office enhancements and notifications enhancements) for my phone, but I seem to have lost the numbers from my full QWERTY keyboard.
I can get numbers by pressing and holding the letter keys, but by pressing ".,123" I only get 8 keyboards to choose from, and none have any numbers.
In the main this isn't a prob, except if you're in contacts when you can only enter a number, but the keyboard won't let you.
I've used HD tweak in the past, but not for T9 input.
I've since uninstalled the 2 ROM updates and the keyboard hasn't changed.
The forums have loads of cases of being stuck in number mode, but none where the keyboard won't allow numbers.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers!

Just found a similar experience with the ROM updates.

Guess we'll have to wait to one of you clever people to work this one out.
Thanks!

Strangely, I have the same symptom after the above mentioned hotfixes. Unfortunately, uninstalling the hotfix doesn't help and having a hard reset is not an option that I'm looking at right now. I've already escalated this to the HTC support and waiting for them to release a fix. In the meanwhile, I'll either use the compact QWERTY or use the Full QWERTY without the numbers tab

Hi there,
Same here, after install the latest fixes from the website I only have 8 keyboard pages while using FULL QWERTY. The numbers page has dissappeared.
Uninstalling the 2 fixes did NOT recover this problem.
I also want to avoid a HARD RESET.
Any clever ideas.
Regards
Menno

Hi There,
I have since logged a fault with HTC and they have investigated and just called me back.
The advice is that I will have to reflash (sigh!) the device with a new ROM which will apparently be available from their support site later today/tonight(?).
In fact, the site had been taken down as I am typing this.
Let's see what happens.
Regards

I called HTC Support again and I was told that they're aware of this issue and working on another HotFix which might take 2 weeks or 2 months..Damn..

In the meantime, try using Fingerkeyboard 2.1 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=501122
IMO, much better than HTC's effort.

I personally don't bother with most of HTC hotfixes as they can cause issues, especially if your using cooked roms. Remember, before you install any hotfix always do a backup first!!!
Only solution I can think of is a hard reset as I'm not aware of any reg fixes etc. Do a backup of contacts/emails etc beforehand

Hi There,
Thanks for the tip; Installed Fingerkeyb 2.1 and I am happy again!
BTW still no word from HTC re the fix.....
Thanks a bundle

Problem sorted (somehow)
After installing the same Hotfix, the numbers also disapeared from my full Querty keyboard. HTC told me to do a hard reset (not a chance!).
Been serching forums and sites for days and have "accidently" fixed the problem. Not sure what part fixed it but I'll go through what I did and maybe it will work for you too. I must mention that I'm not that tech advanced at all.
I downloaded and installed fingerkeyb-20-wvga.cab (size 582kb). Checked that it was working fine. Checked full Querty, no luck.
Then downloaded and installed HTC_Keyboard__Keypad_MULTILANGUAGE.CAB (size 1912kb) after searching for an Ezinput keyboard for HTC Touch file ezinput.dll.0409. I found this file after going through the system files on the unit and finding two folders (ezinput and ezinput.dll.0409). It didn't display well so I uninstalled it. Checked full Querty and bingo, numbers back!!
I found both CAB files in the XDA forums.
Hope this helps.

Pleased to hear you got the problem "fixed".
As far as I am concerned, I now have FingerKeyb 2.1 and that'll do me nicely.
I am not touching anything unless I am specifically told by HTC.

Same here...
Great Hotfixes...
I´ve just contacted the support and waiting for reply.
I´ll keep you informed.

Have the same problem and uninstalling the hot fixes doesn't bring back the numbers 'tab' either. Does anyone know which actual 'Hot-Fix' created this problem - the Office Mobile Enhancement (BLAS00369) update or the Notifications Enhancement update (BLAS00349)?
At least can still access the numbers by holding and pressing the relevant buttons with the letters on, but not ideal.
Looks like will have to await a fix

HTC answered that I have an O2 rom and they are not resposible if those Hotfixes will not work with the original O2 rom.
They recommend a hard reset.
On the other hand they will help customers with the same problem with the original HTC rom...

hi cms777, could you provide the link to HTC_Keyboard__Keypad_MULTILANGUAGE.CAB..i tried searching, but in vain..

I installed HTC_Keyboard___Keypad_MULTILANGUAGE.CAB and then promptly uninstalled it (since it wasn't displaying correctly) and that solved my problem. The numbers are back.
I found it at http://www.filestube.com/4264194f235e4e9103ea,g/HTC-Keyboard-Keypad-MULTILANGUAGE-CAB.html

CoPilot Update To TTS Available

Just did a highly convoluted update to CoPilot adding TTS (Text to Speech) ability. Didn't work (of course) . AFTER the fact, they tell you to install an update of the software, version 8.0.0.620 . IT WORKED! Why oh why can't they get their act together when it comes to customer service? Why not update the necessary files using the TTS installation??? Or why not just do an update of the software WITH TTS included??
Go here to check it out. Make sure you have 8.0.0.620 installed. http://www.alk.com/copilot/copilot8-tts.asp
-Bob-

Hmm well updated to 8.0.0.620 AND updated CoPilot Central 2.0 and you weren't kidding its a right pain and after all that it seems TTS isn't available in the UK yet. Well not on my HD2 yet anyway and I'm running the official 1.66 WWE ROM at the moment. On the brighter side though Live local search works and so does the Live traffic and the Fuel prices facility is a good idea

Silly question, but how did you guys update to 8.0.0.620?
Mine shows version number 8.0.0.457, but when I use the built-in "check for updates" function, it says it's "up to date". Also, in the online FAQ it says you probably shouldn't install the normal CoPilot on an HD2, since it requires a specially modified version for some features to work (ok, who needs Footprints, but still)...
God, I wish ALK would fix their stuff. The bloody navigation software itself is ok, but everything surrounding it is sheer torture.

Here's the link. Download the files directly from http://www.alk.eu.com/files/v8/winmobile/cabs/8.0.0.620-2577-tts.zip. This is the US site.
HOWEVER, I can't say if it'll work perfectly on your HD2. I DID install it. Seems to work. I ran a demo of a route and the TTS function worked well. Haven't tried Footprints since the update and I don't have the Car Kit. I hadn't noticed the warning, so...we'll see what happens.
ALK truly seems to be dazed and confused most of the time.
-Bob-

Hey, thanks!
The FAQ mentions "for example the Footprints application and Car Kit mode". I use neither of those, but that sneaky "for example" could be worrying. The only other device-specific feature I can think of is pinch-to-zoom. Might just try the upgrade and see if it works.

I'm out of my map coverage area, but did play with CoPilot a bit. I don't see any functional issues with the way I use the software. Pinch-to-Zoom works with 2D views, not with 3D (doing a route demo). I actually don't remember if PTZ worked in 3D before. Dragging the 3D view works. I'm not at all familiar with PhotoNav, so I can't comment except to say I have a blank screen. Is that supposed to work with coordinates and the camera somehow? EDIT: Looks like PhotoNav works too. But I'm out of a map area so am not totally sure.
I guess what I'm saying is that TTS is worth giving up any gimmicks that the HD2-specific version might have added (which I obviously never used ). And since I will be out of map range for the next 30 days, someone else is going to have to experiment to see what's missing on the HD2 (or what may have been added??).
I DO wish I could delete the old EXE software from the Windows directory, though.
-Bob-

Ah yes just checked and the footprints don't work with this version of copilot, but I've installed it on the memory card so I guess that didn't help, don't use em anyway.
Afraid I also don't use the car kit mode either so can't comment on that one.
I've been merrily using the update for a few days now and no problems at all, so I think its worth doing.

i have downloaded and installed this new version on my hd2. i got 8.0.0.620 confirmed at the info-screen now.
but somehow tts does not work in the demo.
do i need to activate a special voice/language or option? is it to be activated somewhere?
thanks for the help!

Hi yes I think you do need to select the correct voice if you go in to Language & Voice, then your language you should find a voice with an asterisk. Thats the text to speech one.
Just to clarify I've only read this and haven't tried it myself as I can't get TTS in the UK at the moment

Did anyone try Version .644 ?
