Hi there!
i've got a problem with my touch dual (xda star). i use the german 20 key version of the TD.
where ever i'm pushing the [email protected] button, i only get a z.
the keyboard layout is german. i changed it with shaps advanced config.
even when i'm typing a word and the xt9 auto-completion is on, i push the [email protected] button, and the autocompletion closes, the typed word disappears and only the letter z is shown.
if i am in abc mode, i also only get the z on this button ... x,y and @ have disappeared...
has anybody got an idea what todo?! i tried to switch the language codes in the registry (HKCU\keyboard layout\) but this didn't bring my lost letters back
it's really annoing to switch to touchkeyboard everytime you need an x,y [email protected] ...
thanks!

Has nobody got an idea? Or is anything unclear in the post?

got that prob, too. thought it arised from an incomplete spb-backup run. It wasn't able to include "\Windows\eT9AsDb.Adb", "\Windows\eT9Cdb.Cdb" and "\Windows\eT9Rudb.Rdb" and right after executing the backup my device came up with the missing x and y thing. tried some things, nothing helped but a hard-reset. I also told the spb support, but I didn't try out their how-to. In case you want to, I can send their response per pm to you.

Onyl a hint for future Backups:
Sprite Backup had no problems restoring a xda star backup.

Thx fot the hint, but actually there wasn't a problem during the restore-process but while creating the backup, so I should have considered twice, before restoring the faulty backup .
Although a bit off-topic here:
Does Sprite Backup save all HTC Home and HTC Cube settings (i.e. QuickDial, QuickLaunch)? (cuz spb doesn't)
Does it need a PC-connection for backing up and/or restoring?
I have the same problem on my french 20 key touch dual. I asked HTC Tech Support, this is a known issue to them that the HW keyboard is not functioning normally on some devices, a patch SHOULD be out soon...

thats quite interesting, because on the one hand the problem gets solved with a hard-reset (at least on my device) and on the other hand a patch is what i would like a lot, especially if it includes wm6.1, radio updates (hello wifi?) and improved responsiveness (grafx-accel-drivers?) and stability.

i allready had to do a hard-reset and lost all my data, because i didn't know about sprite backup ...
By the way, does somebody know if sprite backup also backs up your messages? (sms, email?)

I wish I could tell - Sprite Backup didn't want to create a full backup on my device (just tried). Fails with error "could not backup databases" or something.
But I just wrote back to Spb Backup team with further information (did what they proposed, checked registry, told them) hoping I'll get an answer soon.
FYI Seems like in registry key HKLM\Software\Spb Software House\Spb Backup\UnlockFiles files are mentioned which need special care.
has anybody got news about this topic?
i miss my [email protected] key

I guess nobody has found a solution to the specific problem yet. This means up to now a hard-reset (and maybe a roll-back to a backup) is the only solution.
Sprite Backup will most certainly backup you pim-databases.
Nevertheless, to get Spb Backup to work, it's sufficient to enter the files in the registry (see this and this post). Performing the backup is w/o problems then, but I haven't tried to roll back yet.
Cheers,

Ok, thanks anyway.
I think, i'll give the backup and hard-reset method a try and i'll post my
results here.

Hi,
I downloaded the free version of FingerClix from clubimate (supposedly 100% discount for clubimate registered users). However, the package I received was titled fingerclix, but contained the Arabic input method.
I've removed the package again, but I've still got an input method at the bottom of the list which is shown as squares (since I don't have the correct font I assume) and I can't find any obvious file to remove or registry key to delete.
Anyone know how to unregister an unwanted input method?
Thanks
Anyone? or is it hard reset time?
Phil
Hi mate,
I had the same prob. Try to install a freeware called "remover". It's a great app and it will let u uninstall completely all the programs that u don't want anymore.
Hi Phil,
This is strange. I've been using Finger Clix for some time now and there is no sign of this program in the input methods. I checked my registry and there is a key in hkey_local_machine\software\apps\Imaginet finger clix. If it is still at your machine. Just delete it.
There is another one in: hkey_local_machine\software\apps\Controlpanel\finger clix.
Maybe there a more but I found those two.
Just give it a try.
Wouter
Hi,
The problem has been solved in a roundabout way by the fact that I just got home and found my imate won't boot at all even though it was OK an hour ago (the same old prob I've seen reported before, where you take the battery out for a few seconds, put it back and the imate boots, but it's hard reset). :-(
@wouterk: It's not actually Fingerclix, but the distribution of it from clubimate seems to be incorrect (arabic input method instead).
@elio: Thanks, I'll give Remover a try.
Phil
OK, Too bad for you that you had another hard reset. Did you try the 1.72 ROM already?
WOuter
Hi,
I'm waiting for the clubimate release of 1.72, rather than go with the t-mobile beta version, my imates only a couple of months old, so no point invalidating the warranty.
It's only the second time it's done it, so I'm not too worried.
Phil
OK. Just in case. I found the last two ROM which I used not very good. The turning on/off of the radio was terrible and so was the bluetooth sometimes. With this ROM those problems are gone. But if you have no problems, don't worry, be happy! :wink:
Wouter
Hi,
Yeah I got mine with 1.66 on it already, but it's not apparently very good (not that I don't love my imate, kicks the crap out of my p900 + iPaq 3970 combo).
Clubimate have said that 1.72 should be out very soon, I just wish it fixed the cleartype!
I don't mind hard resets so much, I just resync or restore Sprite 3.0 backup, it's the reinstalling all the apps that annoys me - Kirara Genesis, PocketInformat, Fonix, PocketPlus, SideX/PhoneX, Resco Explorer/Picture, Sprite Backup, 1-calc, Space Reclaimer, ARRGHH! and don't forget 60MB worth of games

Hello Folks!
my mdaII has extraordinary symtoms when i want to mark some text in notepad ore other text application!
instead of the black block (shows marked text) i get a extraordinary arrow symbol (see attached picture) and so i cant mark text any more.
this serious function does not stop till i make a softreset. after this everything works well.
has anybody an idea For what reason this arrow appears and how i can get rid of it??
Did you install TenGo?? I think that either TenGo or Fitaly produces this and I've no idea how to stop it. I also have this occasionally.

No what is this?
Maybe we can find out which software we have both ?
i use:
ZenPhone
Repligo
TotalCommander
Visual CE
Code Wallet Pro
Spritge Backup
ScreenCap
if nobody knows an answer i have to hardreset my device because this problem is very distempering...
hmmm... from your list I have Zen Phone and Sprite backup. I recently upgraded both applications too.
Hmmm.... what to do, I thought it was TenGo and I removed it, but the problem is still there. I was then thinking that this could be Fitaly but you don't have fitaly so it can't be that.
I've found that when this problem happens if I switch input modes to another sip, then back again the problem is gone. This is a work around, not a fix and like you I do not know what's causing it.
I'm reluctant to hard reset as I've just done a rebuild recently. I'm hoping my next hard reset will be for Second Edition.
Have you had any more luck with it?

Just select another input method like character recognizer and then back to the keyboard or whatever software input method (SIP) you preffer.

Hi Folks!
Now i got my MDAIII an have THE SAME PROBLEM!!!!!
that means it HAS TO BE an part of software i install because my new device has windows mobile 2003 SE!!
Did nobody find out how we can get rid of this "feature" ???
This is very interesting indeed! Are you saying you have the "feature" on a XDA3 out the box? Did you install any keyboard related software? Then again the XDA3 has the internal keyboard and therefore I assume it has some form of drivers pre-installed to support this.

hmmm...
I still have this too, I thought it might be Fitaly but coming to the conclusion that it's not. It's a severely annoying problem.
Narrowing down the lists of software that have been published, I have the following in common.
SPB Pocket Plus
PocketZenPhone
Sprite Backup.
I noticed that both PocketZenPhone and Sprite Backup appeard on both published lists, has anyone found the culprit?
Cheers
Howard
hmmm.... starting at the top, I removed SPB Pocket Plus and the arrow is gone from notes.
Two soft resets and the arrow is still gone!
Yet another bug with PocketPlus then???
Cheers
I have seen this on my XDA II - and the only applications from the lists that I have installed are PocketZenPhone and Resco.
Well having removed Pocket Plus to check, I've reinstalled it and I still don't have the arrow. So far, so good.
I don't know if the soft reset cured it (temporarily) or if installing the latest build of PocketPlus did it.
Hi All
Anyone know the name of the databasae on the XDA Exec that stores the 'Speed Dial' numbers. I'm going through a bad patch at the moment where I'm having to do a lot of hard resets...and it's a pain in the aris having to then add back all the speed-dial numbers afterwards
Thanks

No, but you can find backup applications that can help you for keeping personal data. But I'm not an expert in that stuff.
BTW, I'm working on a SMS backup/restore app, in the same way as PPCBckpContacts, but I don't know yet if it will be a full messaging backup app.

Backup
Thanks Fred
Good luck with the SMS utility. If it's anything like PPCBckpContacts, I think you'll have users beating down your door . The reason for asking my original question was that I liked the simplicity of your program in contrast to many other backup utilities that only seem to cater for 'whole system' backups (with a bit of choice involved in WHAT is backed up).
Thanks for the quick reply...

In fact, I'm rewriting PPCBckpContacts, it will be called PPCPimBackup. Nothing much changes, except that the files will be in unicode (so good for foreign languages which have special characters) and will allow records on multiple lines (especially contacts (ex.: address)). There will be also a mapping fields window like in outlook (see attachment picture) so old backups will still be usable.
And I will add SMS backup first, then maybe the rest if it is not too complicated.
Cheers,

Hi again Fred
If you need an extra pair of hands to test anything - I'd be happy to try any of your stuff out...

Hey, I have a problem with my incoming text message notification as well as the reminder notification.
No matter how many times i tap the 'Display message on screen' option it unchecks itself after a cerrtain time. same issue for the reminders.
Anyone else 'suffers' from the same symptoms ?
yes, i have the same problem, i guess its with the Dutty 2.1 extreme rom, also, i have strange problem where sometimes, the ringtone changes to some other then the one that we have set. and sometimes it doesnt ring as well.
any help?

Haven't experienced the ringtone changing, but the problem with the ringtone sometimes not ringing is a well documented bug with no fix as yet. Strangely it appears to happen mostly with Duttys 2.1 inc MSVC and not Dutts V2.1 WITHOUT MSVC. If you read the thread on Duttys V2.1 you will see this.
V2.2 is due for release soon and hopefully this bug will be fixed.

but what about settings like Advance Config, and Xt9 words , and IE and Opera Favourites etc. please help me for this.

There are different ways of doing this. You can use PIM, SPB Backup or Sprite
In future instead of working hard to reinstall everything, why not just use a backup program like SPB Backup 2 or Sprite.
SPB Backup & Sprite are basically the same. You can use either of these to backup all your settings, including programs, ringtones, contacts etc, then if any problems materialise or you hard reset you use the backup file created to restore to your previous settings.
I have been advised by noris08 that when flashing to a new ROM each of them may have some issues and when you restore the apps, some of them will not work and some will generate some new conflicts
This issue has been explained before but either in this forum or somewhere else.
Another option is to backup personal things with PIM and to reinstall all apps from scratch

If the answer above does not work ......................
Have you flashed a custom rom? I would put the phone into bootloader (press and hold down the lower volume key and then push the reset button with a pen to get the tri colour screen. You need the battery cover off to access the reset button.)
Then flash a stock rom suitable for your device.
I had this issue once, are you using Sprite Backup to restore your phone data? If you do, please dont use Sprite backup anymore, use another apps like PIM backup or SPB backup.
Today setting
I had this issue before. Check whether the below setting is enabled.
Start > Settings > Menu > All Settings > Today > Items
The setting "Today timeout", at the bottom left hand corner,
should not be selected/enabled.
i also have this problem before if the following requirements are met:
1) Over 1000 SMS on the phone, very oftenly the phone will not wake up after a notification, will not wake up out of no reason, will not wake up after a missed call
2) when the facebook app is updating the contact details (I have only 40+ linked contacts but it still lags the phone during update). Not often.
I am on stock 1.66 non-tweak
I also have this issue. Stock 1.66 rom.
Have 1000+ SMS.
Phone does lag when facebook app is updating contacts.
Just tried disabling today timeout as suggested. Will see what happens.

Sprite Backup doesnt work so well with some cooked Roms and It took me few days to figure out what happened to my phone, I like the way Sprite Backup does but totally not the way it affected my phone.
AND...please note this, trying remove your battery many times when your phone is still on may damage your phone's hardwares and trust me, it happened to me and now I have to be sending my phone back to do a warranty.
Congratulations !!!

Thank you very much for all this informations. Concerning to me, i have solved my problem with a new configuration of the options of sprite backup. I changed "merge to" by "replace all". Congratulation it was actually the origin of this issue.
