Delay in answering calls - Touch HD General

This is te 1 thing that is generally annoying.
I find that when i answer a call using the sliding function, the vibration carries on for a second or 2 even though the call has been answered. Does anyone else get this problem? is there a reg fix?
Regards DB

i have the same problem with french rom

So maybe a universal problem. There must be a way to fix it in the registry?

So it seems that this problem exists on only 2 mobile handsets. Hmmm and here i was kinda hoping for a possible solution.
If anyone has an idea how to solve this please let me know
Cheers

It's Win Mobile. There have always been lags and delays. Just make sure that the phone application is always running in the background ie don't let the X-close program exit the phone app when you tap 'X'. Also make sure you keep a decent amount of memory free.
Pretty much all you can do until some streamlined cutdown ROMs come out.

This always drove me mad with my Tytn II - good to see they've put so much effort into fixing such an obvious problem.
The other nice feature of the Tytn II was sometimes - usually when the phone was plugged into a USB cable and syncing in the office - answering a call would result in a second or two of deafening SPEAKERPHONE before the call got routed through to the earpiece (so a split second of the caller's "hello?", or usually something more embarrasing, would echo around the office). Did that carry over as well?

I remember seeing an option in one of the config apps here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=441 (4th and 5th stickies) where you could fix this delay.

ATT Rom Sound Limiting

Ok, I found a hint at the solution to the sound limiting thing on the AT&T New Rom.....
Going in to the Registry:
Code:
My Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER]ControlPanel/SoundCategories/...
Under: Feedback to RingPreview there is this little line called InitVol I believe it has something to do with this line as if I take it out, I get almost no sound... and in some spots it will simply place itself back in if removed!
I will continue to tinker with this! :twisted:
MrDollyMaker
I just discovered something and would like someone to confirm this one...... When you click on the speaker, if you turn the volume down on the PocketPC side and leave the phone up to full, the increasing ring goes away. If you put the volume back up on the PocketPC side, the increasing ring begins to start again....
Anyone confirm this odd bit? :shock:
MrDollyMaker
you are right
I can!

Glad to know it's not just me.... found a similar thread on AT&T's support forums.... AT&T said to use WAV files and they will play loud... :shock:
Granted. Am I not using a WAV file for my ringer? (double checks) YEP.... must be me, not AT&T! NOT!
MrDollyMaker
Mental note:
Must be a programed line due to the Volume Attinuation is based from the volume setting on the PocketPC side..... Now to figure out where this code is to try and remove or dissable it!
Example (But not exactly writen like this):
Code:
VolumeLimiting=(((Volume/2)*InitVol)*AttinuationCategory)
Granted, maybe it could be considering all are actual settings in the Registry except VolumeLimiting... :shock:
MrDollyMaker
Ring volume
Ok. I too can confirm that this works. BUT.... Can you also confirm that it now only RINGS ONCE and then the rest is silent.

Hmmm, haven't had that problem. I solved the issue with the alarms and reminders being silent by using BatteryPack2004 v5.2. It has a feature called Power Alert that when turned on can up the reminder and alarm volume to MAX even if you have it muted!
Now I can have the PDA volume off and ringer up full and still hear my alarms and reminders. (just can't hear the notices) If I play MP3s or WMA files through media player I have to turn it up of course.....
Still cant' find the fix for this yet. :evil:
MrDollyMaker
I'm using a WAV file though... I'll check weather that has an effect or not..
Hi everyone...
I just upgraded mine to WM2003 from O2 XDA.
I know that WM2003 phone edition allows MIDI files as ringtones, all you have to do is copy the midi files you want to \windows\rings folder and you should be able to pick the ring from option.
however, when I selected the midi file ringtone from the option, IT CANNOT PLAY! :roll:
is this just me or everyone has the same problem?
let me know... thanks heaps...
Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? This "feature" REALLY sucks, and makes my Voice Command not nearly as useful as it could be.

Unfortunatly no.... I'm now waiting on the new T-Mobile rom that is due out soon. Talked with some of the techs there. They claim that the delay in release is due to some querks with a new driver for the battery that increases the battery life by almost 2 hours in PDA mode along with a querk with the sound not working right. :lol:
They did say expect it some time in March as long as they at least solve the sound problem.
MrDollyMaker
I actually think AT&T or MS made a simple but fatal mistake in either wavedev.dll or PhonePH.dll or possibly setawsnotifyreg.exe.
I think what they aimed for was to have the ringer start at the PDA level and then slowly rise to the Phone level if they differed. Then someone managed to get it all wrong and made it start at MaxPDA-PDA or possibly Phone-PDA instead of Min(PDA,Phone).
I've tried to find a way to replace wavedev.dll and PhonePH.dll to try my theory, but haven't yet found a way. I'll do a little messing around with the registry settings as well...

Been there, done that.
Be aware that the T-Mobile rom has an even worse bug than the increasing ring. It starts up by itself.
Suddenly, for no apparent reason, the device is ON. Pressing the power button will make it go to sleep again, but sometimes it goes on again just seconds later. As things get worse while moving, it could have something to do with signal strength or handover.
Walking through the output from ssnap it seems that the AT&T rom is actually newer than the T-Mobile. The date of most of the files in 4.01.16 is back in September, while most of the files in the AT&T rom is from mid December.
After having enough of accidental phone calls and calendar items because the phone turned itself on in my pocket I will try the AT&T rom for a while and see if it's any better. And actually, the volume is not that big a deal if you use something like spb pocket+. Just set the PDA volume to the lowest or next lowest setting, the phone to the next highest or highest, set the repeating alarm function in pocket+ to use full or increasing volume, and voila!
For the record, some of us using the final T-Mo ROM are not experiencing the spontaneous activations bug.

Download the Offical T-Mobil upgrade. No sound issues or any problems I can find.
MrDollyMaker
Thanks. I have the ROM however they fill it with so much bloatware I can't squish all of my proggies in there. I was hoping for a hack or something. I did increase the Initvol from 2 to 4 which stops the low volume at first however it does get quite loud. Maybe I'll install and see anyway. Nothing to lose but time I guess. Thanks again.

HI,
has anyone found a solution to either of the above mentioned problems? The Volume issue is a problem when using navigation. I tried intalling T-Mob but get random on problem.

Curious, how many of you are running skype? Try this

This is just something I stumbled across a while ago but haven't had the time to post it. I'm not making any promises so this is just a head's up.
If anyone remembers my last post on skype here, you'll recall me saying that there's a Disable Codecs key in the registry. Well I didn't know the codecs but SkypeSmart over at Skype forums posted this tweak for his iPaq and it works a treat.
I'm running my Mini S with the original ROM and skype with my key reading: ILBC G729 EG711U
As a result it only uses the EG711A codec and guess what, it works, at stock speed too. My phone is an utter mess but it works at an acceptable level that is to say both parties can hear the conversation without any hiccups. Tested over a WiFi link but be warned you'll lose connectivity with echo123 and it also seems to me that Skype Linux doesn't have the EG711A or EG711U or even the G729 codecs so you won't be able to chat with them unless you enable ILBC.
One thing worth testing is to see what happens in a conference call (with a Windows machine as host and a Linux machine and the wizard with some of the codecs disabled) but I don't have the time to test so be my guest and post the results if you do test it.
By the way, I use Skype v2 Feb 14 release. If anyone wants to post their overclocked results or anything, great.
Indeed it does work and VERY well. I just called across a very sketchy broadband connection and audio in BOTH ways was clear. Before, I could be heard by the other party but could not hear them in return. Once I overclocked, I could actually have a couple of pragrams running in the background and still have acceptable resources left. Bravo to whoever came up with this tweak.
How far did you overclock? Also, I know a lot of people are viewing this thread but only one response so far...does that mean the rest of you are enjoying Skype? :shock:
i use skype with my wizard very well and i can use skypeout as well.
i installed for the high cpu usage, not low cpu usage. but i also use omapoverclock.
what i did, just installed skype, then change the content of d shortcut using total commander in windows/start menu/programs/skype.lnk with this one:
46#"\program files\omapclock.exe" -clock 240 -launch "\Program Files\Skype for Pocket PC\Skype.exe" -restore?Program Files\Skype for Pocket PC\Skype.exe,
in this case, i put omapclock file in 'program files' folder, and don't forget to use "," sign in the last content of skype. because it gives u back d skype icon, otherwise u'll see omapclock icon.
Gut luck!!! and i hope this can be useful 4 u...

What am i doing wrong?
Thanks Ricky, that trick with Omapoverclock works a treat. By the way not sure if it is my imagination but sounds like the I am getting the call playing through my handsfree speaker and not the ear piece. Does anyone else get this or am I going mad????

You're not. Apparently the M600 is the only phone which might support non-speakerphone chat on skype. I heard that its latest ROM does exactly what you want it do. I don't know if its a Skype specific issue or whether it's ROM specific but I have not seen any apps other than the phone app itself take advantage of the earpiece.
@guyver2077:
If you're referring to the tweak I listed, what does it do when you call PCs? I made a skype out call actually 3 of them and I could hear all of them clearly - 1 to Guam , 2 to HK and I'm in the UK.
@Ricky:
Does 240MHz eat away at the battery life, especially with WiFi on?
I just spent the last few days setting up a Linksys NSLU2 with DebianSlug and it works great; Samba works with the phone too 8). A little tempted to get a bluetooth dongle to stick to the slug so that I can connect to the net over bluetooth when possible but the BT stack on the mobile doesn't support BT networking does it?
ok.. so does this only work with speakerphone on?? i didnt hear anything through the actual phone ear reciever

When I said speakerphone I meant simply that the sound is coming out at the same volume as media player, etc if that makes sense. There's no reason for you not to be able to hear a thing though. :?
Thanks AsGF2MX, It works great with the headfones I just don't normally use them.

If you think about it, it makes sense. This is Skype for Pocket PC, most Pocket PCs don't have the phone built in.
Do you have a BT headset? If so open the audio gateway (either using the program posted in this forum or via Voice Command press BT button and just say "Open Skype", the Audio gate will stay open).
This should allow you to use your BT headset for Skype calls.

I suppose you're right, that would explain things but is there an option to actually channel audio to the ear piece? If not, then it's definitely an issue with the way the device ROMs are designed (assuming that there is a way for software to utilize the ear piece).
Well, I'm glad a few people found it useful and I hope it's working for the rest of you as well. I might just pick-up OMAP clock a little later and try to see how well an overclock fares on my device but first, I'm going to try a few apps I've been wanting to try for a while.
Great tip!
I have previously tried Skype on my Qtek 9100 but have always found the audio quality quite bad, even when overclocking to 240.
After changing the DisableCodecs as suggested here, the audio quality is now really good, also when using SkypeOut to a Fixednet phone.
Thanks for the tip!
Yes Great tip, thanks
Can someone point me in the direction of the program that opens the audio gateway?
I don't have MS Voice Command, I only have the default "Voice Speed Dial".

After Skype Install - Alarm clock chaos
Hi
I have been reading this thread with interest. I own an old XDA (one with aerial) and now the XDA Mini S. Have had it now for about 6 months and sync up to 2 pc's, have multiple email accounts, use the Wifi/msn - so use pretty much all of functionality. Happy so far!
I installed the pocket pc version of Skype last night - and found that this morning my alarm went off - but with no options displayed on the screen to snooze/dismiss alarm! Consequently - the alarm/vibrate goes off every 5 minutes - and only thing i can do is remove the battery -so phone basically unusable. Soft reset does not help - and would rather not hard reset as then will have to redo email settings etc.
Anyone out there had this problem before? Your help would be appreciated (think you are calling the XDA mini a wizard)
OS Build: 5.1.70 (14406.1.1.1)
ROM: 1.5.4.2 WWE
ROM date: 11/8/05
Radio: 01.09.10
Protocol: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM: 1.5.4.103
Have you removed the Skype software already?
After Skype Install - Alarm clock chaos
Hi - Yes, I have removed Skype from the XDA Mini. Soft-reset again - no difference.
I had that alarm problem once.
I'd had my cingular 8125 (HTC wizard) for a week or two and had been putting apps on it and messing with the registry, then one morning my alarm went off, I reached over to silence it, pushed some random button accidentally, and the alarm kept on going. I opened my eyes and sat there for a minute waiting for my brain to boot up because I wasn't seeing the notice showing me which softkey to press. After awhile, I realized that I was completely awake, and there really was no way to turn the alarm off!
I messed around with that thing forever. Scrolling through menus, doing soft resets, etc. Nothing would silence the alarm. I tried reseting the time/date and doing a soft reset, but every time the device booted up, it would go nuts with alarm tones (they kept multiplying! Every time I would reset the time after having set it back, another alarm would go off and they started piling up!).
Boy, that really ruined my morning.
I ended up having to do a hard reset to fix the problem. And when I ran my latest backup, the problem came right back! So I had to do another hard reset and roll back to an earlier backup.
I really don't know what the problem was, but I think I might have a slight idea. I had downloaded some program called CheckNotifications by Scarybear software (I now know it's not meant for WM5) and I think I must have deleted that alarm notification from the "notification database". (No, I don't actually know what any of that means, I'm just regurgitating words I read online in a manner which seems to make a little sense). So some parte of the OS somewhere remembered the alarm, and turned it on at the right time, but the part of the OS responsible for giving you the facility to turn it off was screwed. But that's just a wild guess.
Maybe you also have some issue with your notification database.
Good luck! Of course, if you were anywhere near as annoyed as I was, you probably already said a few (dozen) choice curse words and did a hard reset.
(edit: clarified phone)

Busy tone always through external speaker ?

I have got an O2 trion which has a rather strange feature. When I call a number which is busy at the moment the busy tone is always delivered through the external speaker even though the external speaker is not on. HTC support says they have never heard of this problem and I should send the device in. I hoped that the ROM update HERMIMG_O2_1.25.207.1_SHIP.nbh whould solve the problem but it does not.
Does anybody else have the same problem and is there a solution?
ThankX
Stefan
Yes, I have same problem.
Same here on my V1605. It seems that there is stiill no way of resolving this issue.
See thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=61115
I've also discovered that when the engaged tone sounds through the speakerphone I'm no longer able to hear the phone ring - it goes straight to call divert. Will phone CS tomorrow to see if they have any answers.
Hi dIesigner_1,
thank you for the link to the existing topic for this problem. I could not find it before my post.
I also do have the screen alignment problem so I sent the device back to O2. I am looking forward what will happen and if both issues can be resolved. :?:
same issue
hi,
i have the strange busy tone on speaker effect too.
thou hapily it doesn't seem to affect my call routing.
would be interested in the solution, though!
cheers.
I have the same issue on my HTC TyTN, not always but it happens random from time to time. Very strange behavior...
*push*
any solutions yet?
that is anoying as hell!
Hi,
I got a new O2 trion as an exchange device due to screen alignment problems. I also claimed the external speaker bug. Guess what! The screen alignment is ok so far but the external speaker bug is still there. I called the company CS which is responsible for the exchange. They claim never to have heard about the bug and they offered another exchange...I do not belive this will help as long as nobody complains about the problem and HTC is forced to do something.
I get that sometimes too
Found a solution from another thread
workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.

Waking up on incoming calls takes too long....

I've just realized that I keep missing calls because it seems to me that the Touch HD takes entirely too long to wake up on an incoming call.
Example:
I called my phone, it rang TWO times before the phone started to wake up, by the time I was able to answer it, it was too late.
Anyway to speed up the waking of this phone on incoming calls. I can't have all these delays. Or is there a way to make it ring LONGER (as a workaround) before going to voicemail?
Does having the phone locked increase the time it takes to wake it up?
Question 2:
It seems like just picking up my phone from my desk answers it. That's no good, sometimes I want to pick it up to look the the caller id but it auto answers upon picking up the phone off my desk. Can this be disabled?

Try using 3rd party apps like 'Advanced Config', 'HD Tweak' and 'SKTools' to tweak to optimise your HD performance.
I know HD Tweak has the option to enable or disable ring delay for incoming calls
I have tweak HD now. So let me ask you, why would anyone want a ring delay in the first place?
I hate how long it takes to answer a call. Sometimes i answer on the first ring and the caller says "what took you so long?".
What's even worse is, if the phone is doing something and someone rings, i can press the answer button all i like but nothing happens...the phone seems to clogged up with other tasks. This may just be the ROM though, i'm about to flash the new Touch of HD rom so i'll see how it goes.
Gat, I'm pretty sure it's a power issue. Windows Mobile is slow and clunky especially on a 528Mhz processor. Can't wait for tegra or snapdragon. I don't think another rom will help you.

Try using Dutty's Xtreme V1.8 ROM, link below. I haven't experienced any delays since I started using this ROM. May be a coincidence, but worth a try!
With Dutty's V1.8 rom it takes half-a-ring before the screen wakes up, and then a whole ring on silent before it makes any sound. So 1 1/2 rings before I know some-one is calling.
Guys, don't. This is a issue and fixed by HTC, there's a official patch for this problem: htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
fixed my equal problems at once!
The delay is caused by the HTC dialer and all the stuff it needs to load on an incomming call.
If it is a serious problem for you, use HD tweak to change the phone dialer back to WM6. This will give you instant ring on incomming call, but you will lose some features provided by the HTC dialer such as volume control during call, bluetooth notification on top bar,video calling and possibly mute on face down.
If you don't want to use HD Tweak the reg key is
HKLM\security\phone\skin_enabled
Option is 0 (disabled) 1 (enabled)
Soft reset to make the changes.

Hi, I tried this from HDTweak but it did not seem to make a difference. The phone still takes about 1.5 rings before it starts to ring itself. I have lost the bluetooth icon.
Hmmm - I think I will just go back to the HTC dialer

bazzxdahtc, I can't find the patch for this issue under your link
This one should work: http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all
Look for:
- Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls
and
- Hot fix to enhance response time for HTC Touch HD
These two made my HD work a lot better then before! I used to miss calls often due to the lag in answering incoming calls.

These 2 fixes have nothing to do with the famous 2 ring delay. The response time improvement was to solve the latency when using the keyboard - ie sometimes it would appear to freeze. The second fix is for the slider only.
Suggest you guys do a bit of searching as there are a lot of threads relating to this famous 2 ring delay with wm6. The first incomming call always seems to take a bit longer after the phone has been switched off or soft reset - did you try and see what the delay is several times? Appologies that using the wm6 dialer did not work for you - it certainly does for me and many others.
Just trying to help...
I run stock ROM(1.14.404.3(V2227)NLD)+regular updates/patches and this works on my device, you doubt my experiences?
Have you actually tried these yourself? Or are you just reasoning from your cooked ROM...
Suggest you stay nice to everyone.
No i dont doubt your experience apart from the fact that htc fixes are not specific to the 2 ring delay. It also has nothing to do with the fact im using non stock rom .i applied these tweeks to the standard rom before flashing my device. if you do a search for 2 ring deLay, you will see that this is a common problem. Also other sites such as www.pocketshield.netserver01.com/readme.aspx make reference to this exact problem
I'm only tryin to help, and ive spent a lot of my time investigating this issue.
Just a quick thought.. do you have an MP3 assigned as ringtone? I recently added an MP3 ringtone and suddenly it took a lot longer before the phone started ringing..
Changed it back to one of the standard tones and it was much faster.
I agree about the MP3 issue.
I often see my Touch HD waking up to handle the call 1-2 seconds before I hear the ringtone. As soon as the dialler skin is up (or S2U2 application) then I am able to answer the call without the MP3 ring kicking in.
Before I use S2U2, Pocketshiel and Inesoft programs in the same time..it takes at least 4 seconds to starts ring. but now only S2U2 its only 1 sec.
Guys I'm using 1.19.831 stock ROM, applied ONLY Slider hotfix from HTC, ringing with mp3 file (around 900kb size) and do these tweaks in HDtweak and Advanced Config 3.3:
Incoming ring delay = no;
Battery icon in phone menu = no;
Filesystem cache: enabled
Filesystem cache size: 8 mb;
File system filter chace: 131072 sectors;
Glyph cahce: 64 kb;
The delay is around 1.5 ring BEFORE it start ringing. 1 ring before display answer slider. I'm not 100% sure if all of above settings have any connection with the problem, but with these one --> a whole 1 ring delay is gone away...

bad audio quality /flakey email - anyone else got this

Hi all,
love the HD2 got 2 mail problems with it,
1) email is not reliable on pop 3, have to do soft resets to get it working again,
2) audio is crackly on the device and on some calls it sounds like there is distortion. audio is the same on headset , but clear as bell on music or vids.
Any comments will be appreciated. I am coming up to my 7 days caecal time limit and deciding what to do,

1) I don't use POP3 but PUSH mail so can't help you about it.
2) Audio is not crackly on mine, the speaker is not like a hi-fi speaker but the sound is not too bad. With headset, the sound is perfect. if you want to configure it, you can use the Audio-Amplifier ; or SRS WOW (Leo's Themes & Apps section).
HTC's WinMo phones aren't phones like others. If you don't like to configure, set, and work to make your device better ; if you don't like to flash your phone every week D), don't buy an HD2. But if you like it, and if you like to allways be up-to-date of every patch, apps, tweak for your Leo, then buy one, and you'll have the better phone in the world
if you just want a phone to take call, send sms and receive email, you can buy an other phone, more easy to use, and which need less configuration and tweaks. Less power, but easier.

The usefulness of your email is well hidden, young padewan.
More seriously though....I've not noticed any crackly audio on mine so maybe it's your particular unit. Also POP3 mail has been working fine on mine, no problems with Yahoo mail. Perhaps your email provider might be at fault there.

Sorry Yoda, I've just clicked on "Submit" accidently before to have finished to tape my answer
I have the same problem on my HD2. When I make a call somethimes I can hardly hear the person on the other line because of distortion(cracky sound).

bump.........
Same problem on my HTC HD2. The audio quality is really bad. Unfortunately even after the latest firmware the issue is still there!
My call quality isnt crackly, when the person is speaking, its fine, but when they are not, I get distortion. sorta like a bass sound. which differs depending on where the person im talking to is, and what type of phone they are on.
I suppose its the HD2 trying to distinguish background noise.
Ok so this is problem which more than one person has, I would guess a hardware replacement is the only option.
I also get that bass effect, you have described it perfectly!
Damn!
