my phone pad wont load or work?

Hi I have noticed today
My text phone pad doesn't work? anyone know why this is? I had got used to it and now i cant get it loading!
What do i do?

This problem that you are experiencing with PhonePad is the same one we were experiencing with the Magician. The problem is that the SIP and the Today plugins share the some same resources. With a lot of Today Plugins (or an insulting one), you will not be able to change your SIP other than to Keyboard.
You can try disabling the Today Plugins one by one, trying to load the Phone Pad in between. That way you can find which is the insulting plug-in. Mine is the Resco Explorer plug-in. You can re-enable the insulting plugin once you load PhonePad and they will then work.#
Sometimes a soft reset and changing the SIP immediately after also solves the problem.

Dont know what the problem was but, its sorted.
without changing anything I just opened programs and tried to run the pad in there now it works well.
now just to try tomtom5 so far no one reported any problems a good thing!

OK it has gone again and it is not the today items and I have not installed anything yet,
any ideas what it could be or how i can track it?

Whats the phone pad anyway...

the pad is the like phone pad which comes up so you can enter text.
I have just reset the phone to factory standards and the pad works unit it starts to install stuff then it just stops.
I have removed all the stuff it will let me and still it wont work. I have to get this working...
Has no one else got this problem?
rom: 1.0.9.25wwe

OK this is odd I have removed all programs on the PPC and started nothing and it doesn't work, removed the sim and it does! OH! I need the sim.
oh and the JAMin runs much faster without the sim?? OK so as I do this I am performing a hard reset without the sim, the phone is clever its telling me there is no sim! "I know this!"
I am sure it is something to with a CAB file that installs when you first boot or after a hard reset. or it may be my sim? after all its working without my sim.
Ok hard reset done, without the sim it is working fine now time to put the sim in.............................................
OK its either the sim or the stupid text that tells me what area I am in. how do i turn the area notification off?

ok a way around it should you ever have this problem.
put the phone into flight mode and soft restart, with it still in flight mode load you sms or what ever and open the key pad, then turn off flight mode and you will see your key pad.
PS it will screw up after a soft reset so you will need to do the above again but a solution for the short term.

Must be your sim card...
My Jamin doesn't have this problem (Cingular)

Just traded Dopod 700 (Blue Angel) for the sleek and tiny Dopod 818 Pro. Keep hearing about this phonepad SIP, but don't seem to have one on my phone. I have the Traditional Chinese ROM, which is ok, but would love a phonepad... Any ideas what's up with it not being on the device?
Thanks,
Travis

Heya,
used to have this problem too until i read a solution from a thread here.
goto "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP" in registry
under "DefaulfIM"
Change this value to "{51A2CB38-154E-4C92-A625-A83871C99EC2}"
Thereafter everytime you soft reset, phonepad will load up automatically and it will function every time you need it to... hope this helps

I cannot change to "phone pad" input method

Hi All,
I have got my Qtek9100 since yesterday. I already upgrade to ROM 1.6.7.1 WWE. Today I just tried to have some basic lessons on my PPC. When I tried to change to "phone pad" input mode from "Input Selector" arrow, I failed. My PPC just stays in "Keyboard" mode. I can change to any other input mode, but "phone pad".
Please help

Hello,
I have had this problem and still suffer with it on my JAMin, the fault with mine is the sim compatibility with the rom.
try and start your phone without the sim if it works then the next step it put your phone into flight mode and do a soft rest, once the phone has started then switch off flight mode.
it should work

I don't think the Phone SIP (Soft Input Panel, used to enter text) has anything to do with the phone part?

I'm having the same problem with the new leaked AKU 2 ROM. I can't use the phone pad, and also it takes like 20 seconds when I click on the arrow to change the keypad.
Any ideas?

I have just noticed that "phone pad" pull out appearance is more or less occasionally. For instance yesterday, after soft reset I have got phone pad. Today I didn’t have it in the begging, but after some activities it appears again. So I cannot tell what the case is after all. The good news is that I don’t use it at all, so it is more like curiosity that real problem. 8)

I dont know if anyone can verify this but I had Phone pad working fine after a hard reset a week or so back. After the hard reset I did the reg tweaks for Glyph and the other one 4096 or whatever. After that it takes forever for the menu to pop up and then phone pad dosent come up when selected. Anyone else apply these tweaks?

Funny I also ran into the same problem just last week. Phone pad don't show anymore, and menu takes a long time to pull up. I thought it was the software "CE Star" which I installed, but looks like it's happening to everybody.
Hopefully somebody will find a solution soon. This is annoying.

Same problem here. No ROM update here though. I've seen the phone pad application before though. I did a hard reset a while back for something I can't remember now, but ever since then....no phone pad.
I can choose all the other options, but the phone pad stays in keyboard...
Please someone find the solution, the phone pad is essential to a true "one-hand" operation...

same for me...
always stays on keyboard, going into text messages, virtual keyboard always comes up and i cant change it from the input in settings... it stays on keyboard and keeps popping up. i dont need it, i got a pullout keyboard in that qtek 9100!!!!! please anyone?

I've got the same problem with my Atom. Has anyone already found the solution?

What worked for me is using registry wizard to change default input method to phonepad and soft reset and phonepad will be available - I think it stays available if you reset back to keyboard as default. You can use pocket tweak to do the same thing

Phone Problems - please help...

Randomnly when I press the green phone button or select Phone from my Start menu, I do not get the keypad, instead I just get a black box on the screen. They keys are "on" the screen - ie I can dial a number by guessing where the keys should be displayed, but unfortunately this is no good!! Any suggestions?

I have a similar problem, sometimes I get nothing no phone pad, just the today screen. I did a soft reset and it works again try doing that and see what happens? Do you have any phone apps that might be confilcting with the OEM phone apps?

Yup, a soft reset fixes it. It occurs approx after 10times of using the phone (although I havent actually counted) after a soft reset

Which ROM's are you guys running? Is it Helmi's 1.1?

no, i am completely standard on a UK O2 Rom

using O2 standard ROM with radio 1.04.xx, I just got it though. So I'm still just trying to figure out the device before I start tweaking it. SuperCarl, I don't know what to tell you, I soft reset mine and all was fine. Do you have any dial-pad skins that you are using maybe?

soft reset alleviates the problem, but it recurs.
I am not using a dial pad skin (unless one is bundled with o2)

Someone Help Please!!

So, I have an 8525, newest rom from Cingular/HTC, and a few apps.
The apps I am running are as follows:
SPB Pocket Plus
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Diary
VibraSwitch
Device Lock
Jetware BT Fix
Clear Temp
and a few other irrelevant ones.
Anyways, I have the Device Lock mapped to the Comm Mgr button. So, I lock the device, and power off the screen. When I go to wake up the device, Instead of the usual unlock in the bottom right of the screen, first I get Password, so I hit it, then I have to hit unlock, then unlock again as normal....
Any suggestions? I have never set a password on this device, so I dont know why all of a sudden it is prompting me for it.
Thanks,
John

Same thing happened to me when I installed Shell on my touch.

that's wierd. I had the trial version for a while, then got the full version, and only started with the full version. Never happened when I had the trial version.

Do a so called hard reset:
Press and hold the Left SOFT KEY and Right SOFT KEY, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the bottom of your device. You will be presented with a menu saying 'press R to reset, X to exit', if you press R Your device will be set back to factory default settings.
(The L/R soft keys are the "--" keys just up the start and OK buttons)
This should do the trick!

Hermes 100 (8525 Cingular) (WM6 Flashed) Won't except PASSWORD
Hi all! I'm a new member here so the help is greatly appreciated.
So here's the deal. I just recently got married while doing the last minute prep for the big day my hermes 8525 decides to get devil possesed on me.
It started a few days before. Sometimes losing radio connection and other times locking up right after a call was completed but not fully ended. It was OK I guessed since I was able to powerdown and restart (remove the battery) and resume "normal" use.
BUT on the day before the wedding, That lil @#$% decides to lockup one last time and after a power down (removing battery) and restarting the unit, I was prompted to enter the password (as usual), BUT this time after entering my password for access, like I always do, I got the response stating that my password was not entered in correctly. AAAARRRRRGH! NO WAY! but yes way. The worst has struck.
After searching my ARSE off looking for a solution the best I came acress was a "hard reset". Another AAAARRRRGH!
From what I understand this would wipe off all my data. This would really hurt since I had recently entered many long lost (over 10 years) family members contact info that I was finally able to track down.
So, I'm reaching out to this community for something... anything that would HELP!!!
How can I get into my phone and get my contacts back???
TIA
I really appreciate any help on this one!
NEAR TEARS!

Still Stuck
THanks for the replies and the suggestion for the HARD RESET which I'm finding very hard to DO! Not that I can not just that I CAN"T!
I've been talking with an HTC tech in the hopes that this issue can get a better resolution than NUKE'n all my data. Didn't hear from him last night, guess he's still diggin for a solution. I'll have to call him in the morning. Hopefully he has figured out something.
Thanks Again ALL!!!

Wing Dialer problem and close programs button

Hello,
I need some help diagnosing a dialer problem. I installed the Jimmy98's Dialer on my wing and it looks great. However, it has problems displaying the number as you dial it.? It seems very slow? I will dial a number and the number display screen will only show the first number, and that is it, even though when I press call it dialed the entire number?
Has anyoneelse had this problem?
Also, is there a way to make my ok button close my programs completely? So that they don't steal all my resources?
Thanks for your time. I sure wish the wing had as many resources as the MDA. I had my MDA setup perfectly it was just too slow and had a horrible camera. The wings hardware is excellent I just need to get her dialed in.

Do a soft reset and try again. It worked for me. The only problem Im having now is after the 5th number the rest of the numbers are cut in half. I might go back to my earlier skin.
