Hi,
has anyone else the same problem?
the keyboard doesnt pop up when clicking on a text box. not even the keyboard-sign appears in the lower bar, so typing is not possible. it is esp. annoying in opera because browsing is kind of senseless without a keyboard.
i'm using my touch hd exclusively in landscape mode. The autorotate program is flip it and im running duttys v3.
would like to know if more ppl have this problem

that was me posting in the dutty v3 thread but there werent many replies. only one or two encountered the same problems since a lot of the dutty users seem not use landscape mode.
apart from that i dont really know if this has to be discussed in the dutty development thread since it could also be a problem of winmo or flipit or anything else. my research brought me to the conclusion that winmo is responsible for showing an input device whenever a text box is marked.
also the dutty thread is too big already. i have to read 10 or more pages to see if someone answered to the question. too many ppl asking how to flash or how to make their cats flash devices
so, if anyone has the same problem pls post here with your config
thx

Sorry if these same obvious or if you have already tried/stated these. I'm just asking these questions to get a better understanding of your problem and to see if I can replicate/solve your issue
Have you had similar problem on any other roms?
Is it standard HTC keyboard you are using?
Have you tried using HDTweak Automatic display pop up?
Have you tried a hard reset and then testing keyboard before installation of apps, then adding each app one at a time to see if any of them are conflicting with it?

I don't think I've had this problem on a non-Dutty ROM, but I'm not sure about that.
I use Fingerkeyboard.
I haven't tried the tweak you mention - but I'm not sure it would change anything since the problem is NOT PERMANENT! Sometimes the keyboard does pop up, sometimes it doesn't. Seems to be pretty random...

SOrry for the late reply...
i dont think i had the same problem with standard rom (autorotate app was changescreen)
i tried standard htc and fingerkeyboard
no, i havent tried hdtweak since the duttyroms are already tweaked by duttythroy and i dont want to mess it up. what exactly does the function "automatic display pop up"?
i hard reset after flash and tested directly afterwards. same problem.
does anyone know if this problem is still in duttys 3.3?
thx
hdizzel
The problem is still there in v3.3,i have read every possible thread and did every possible search,i cannot find anything mentioned about this and i cannot find a solution. It is kinda lame to have to rotate the phone everytime i need to write smthing on opera,but meh i can live with this inconvenience, Dutty's Rom is worth it tbh.
Even so if anyone finds anything pls report back would be nice to solve this

Currently using V3.3 and I'm still not replicating your problem. If I use Opera or msm in landscape fingerkeyboard automatically pops up for me.
I've used HD Tweak with basically every rom I've flashed and had no problems with it. I'd go as far as saying it actually improves the phones experience and userability.
Try using it and see if it also helps you with your keyboard display
The funny thing is that i have HD Tweak installed(and auto pop enabled),and had it on every rom i used(well basically all of Dutty's Roms since 2.4),dont know what is going on.Maybe it is smth else on my phone,will try reflashing and using Fingerkeyboard only as the first app.Btw this only happens in opera for me.

ok, I finally see were your coming from as I am experiencing it as well. Not sure why this is though. I'll look into it and see if I can find a solution.
I never really use landscape to be honest, especially in Opera as loading time of pages is slower.
well i use landscape on opera mainly for forum browsing cause i can see more text!anyways awaiting on news about this,and i am gonna try some tweaking around myself.
Arrgh!!! Really annoying, Clownshoes figured it out before me!!! LOL. Trust you mate!!
Ok mate, it seems it does work, you have to hold down for 2 secs in input field, no more, no less and it should then pop up. You can thank Clownshoes for that one!
Let me know how you get on

Hmm,i might be doing something wrong,i press and hold in the input field for 2secs or so and nothing really happens,well if i press for more the opera menu pops up "select all" but other than that nothing.
Maybe it has something to do with keyboard settings like the popup timer or something similar,although my settings are on default. i'll keep trying though.
Thanks for trying to solve this

ok, which method are you using to rotate opera? Are you using FlipIt?
I've noticed if I set flipit to 0 and 270 degrees and then enter opera. The first time the keyboard will not pop up. But if I exit opera and then re-enter it works fine.
Have you tried a soft reset?
It seems to be very sensitive. Try using just the tip or nail of your finger in the text entry area for about a second.
It also helps if you double tap to zoom into the text entry box.
I've just tested it by doing it over and over again and using the tip of my finger seems to work every time.
this is very weird,i got it to pop but it is extremely sensitive,dunno what makes it behave like this.
Anyways thanks for the solution guys.
Does anybody know when there will be a new frimware???
1.48 is bugging me much!!!
Just installed it new from scratch and it is slow and buggy!!!

Is this a comedy post? There's nothing slow or buggy about 1.48.
Tonearm,
Do you want to list what your problems are? Is it slow and buggy from rom installation or after you have loaded it up with shedloads of texts and apps?
I have been using 1.48 from day 1, absolutely no problems at all, at least not of the "slow and buggy" kind.
WB
No, seriously. Original HTC firmware. Fresh install.
Syncing calendar and contacts via Active Sync. Downloading mails from 2 accounts (each about 1000 mails).
I swear, that my TouchPro2 was quicker in relation to the processor!
When will 1.60 or higher come?
Mine came with 1.48 installed, no problems for me either.

I agree with the other posters mate - I'm on 1.48 and it's neither slow nor buggy.
Incidentally, downloading mails has nothing to do with the processor. That's purely down to your connection speed. Have you tried doing it over wifi?

Of course over Wifi.
Speed isn´t my only concern as you could read.
I´m disapointed with the progress of the firmware.
Everywhere you can read about the bugs of the device and there are dozens of cooked firmwares.
Afaik HTC offered the new 1.60 firmware in a few countries inofficially, but not in germany.
When will the progress go on with optimizing the software of the device?

HTC have never offered the 1.60 ROM to anyone - it's been "leaked".
I only mentioned the speed issues because you gave that as an example of what your problems are.
If you can actually explain your problems then we can probably help with some of them. Alternatively, search for each of the individual problems and you'll find answers for some of them on here.
Incidentally, the majority of people have only minor issues, so if you have more than your fair share of problems then you're basically one of the unlucky people. There is a LOT of help to be had on this site, but you need to be clear as to what you need help with.
The 1.60 ROM will probably not solve your problems, especially if you can't tell people what they are!

There's a thread on this started by Beards in the LEO thread. Implement the solution in there.
Second. Camera flashlight shoots photos with blue faces.
Another separate thread on this in LEO (can't remember what its called. There are 2 solutions on offer; one is to use an app called TorchButton, the other is to set the flash on manually, get the camera to set itself, take your shot, turn the flash off. I usee this latter solution, takes me seconds. Just another way of taking a shot, same as you can find different ways of taking a shot with a true dedicated camera.
Third. Overall performance. As soon something is working on the device it´s a little stuttery.
Aha, you definitely NEED to read the Hints & Tips thread on here as there are numerous solutions there. Strikes me you have too many apps running in the background, not being closed off properly, plus you might re running out of memory as well.
Also if you are getting stuttery performance when watching videos you might want to install Chainfire's solution

Tonearm,
If these are examples of what you are experiencing, see my responses above.
To get the best out of your device you will have to tweak it a little.
For us to help you we need more specifics of your problems.

Hi all,
appreciate your kind advice.. hard resetting to install ROM is always a chore and i wish to make sure there is reason to do so..
am on 1.48 stock now and should i change to stock 1.66?
the description of HTC leaves more ? for me..
any kind experts know of the improvement it brings?
i saw HTC release yet another SMS update.. Duh does the 1.66 require all those crazy updates?
hi experts do help to advise if the upgrade is worth it.. the pain of hardreset is terrible,.,
Think it depends on your expectations. If you read through the lots of 1.66-ROM-Threads around here, you can see that the big majority would suggest to upgrade because the performance went better. Beneath that also the HotFixes are implemented and you are so able to save a lot of disk space on your phone. I tried the WWE-version of the ROM and I really liked it - includes also several bug-fixes that are quite annoying with 1.48. e.g. the lock-bug. We don't have this ROM here in GER already and I can't wait to install our final release!

It's definitely better, and I've only seen a couple of minor gripes about it since it came out. I'd expect the forum to be full of complaints if it wasn't doing a decent job.
ok.. today shall be a hard reset day for me...
Cool, will prolly update my (mostly patched) 1.43 to 1.66 today aswell, thx for the infos de Wolfe & johncmolyneux
Yeah I really like the 1.66 WWE ROM. I went from the 1.48 WWE rom to 1.66 and haven't had any regrets! Performance is idd better, bluetooth problem for me, seems to be gone (It wouldnt go up from time to time), and no sms bug....yet :O
--edit
I only have it 3 full days installed, so maybe my perspective will change :x (i hope not!)
I would suggest looking if you have any problems with 1.48, if you don't then stay with it. I upgraded from 1.48 to 1.66 (admittedly my SMS always sent and i havent tried bluetooth at all yet) but 1.66 has an annoying bug with text messages where it selects the message you are replying to.
If you're replying to a message when the previous messages in that conversation are finished loading the screen will scroll to the message you're replying to meaning the the text entry box isn't visible on the screen any more. Just an annoyance which HTC apparently call a feature - it would be a feature if it were immediate but not when you're already typing. But it is annoying not critical to phone use.

i concur, how can that be a feature when i cant even see what I'm typing
Ive upgraded with 1.66 my HD2 is from the UK.
seems pretty stable for now, did revert the back up of my SMS and it is stable i'd say.
however, i can see the following on the field to enter the number when u select a new SMS or compose sms. it says "limited to 10 recipients" which i did not notice on 1.48 ROM. is this normal, does any one of you have it too..
cheers

That is normal mate. The restriction was already there before but it didn't advertise it. You can increase it to 50 with BsB Tweaks (for Christmas and New Year )
lol i like this christmas and ny !!
so all in all, the benefits should be more than cons.. versus 1.48

Definitely. I've only seen people complaining about 1 thing consistently, and it's just a new "feature". When you reply to a text, it automatically highlights the text that you're replying to, even if you'd already started typing. It's hardly the end of the world - you just open the keyboard again and you're back in the reply box.
Other than that, I've only seen 1-off issues, none of which are showstoppers.
It's worth it just for the silkiness aspect. It's smooth as anything now

This, I often flash whilst at work, and it takes longer to download a new ROM than to get my phone exactly I want it again.
I use PPCPimBackup for texts/contacts.
Yes, (I believe) the "limited to 10 recipients" is normal for SMS with the 1.66 Upgrade, AND we've seen it before.
On the 14 Jan 2010 - see "Update for HTC HD2 – New SMS Function Update [14.01.2010]" thread started by Irbperia - HTC issued an SMS Update which was shortly afterwards withdrawn - probably a hasty precursor to the 1.66 ROM Upgrade which followed. It also added the "limited to 10 recipients" to SMS.
Having had my own fair share of HD2 grief, I've been following this forum for a while now looking for answers and I think that thanks to HTC's hasty pre-Christmas release of the HD2 - before its ROM was really ready - we're all getting a little paranoid in thinking any little quirk might be yet another bug.
The 1.66 ROM Upgrade seems to have sorted out most issues and (for me at least) the phone was great even with its false start but now it's a real pleasure to use. Maybe we should all relax a little and enjoy what is still arguably the very best WinMo phone out there !!!
All power to you HTC ... (but I hope you're learning from your mistakes and Production please resist being bullied into another premature release by Marketing)

Hi guys,
Been using the stock ROM for a while now as I could not find a stable cook release, just decided to do a little more experimenting and am unfortunatly finding the same thing. After trying out a few of the ROM's the most stable all rounder and constantly up-to-date ROM seems to be that from Sternas.
However the music player in this ROM is completely unusable for me, it crashes within seconds of playing the music and will not successfully update the sence music player library. I have tried several music players and I still prefer the sense default due to its tight integration and compatability with CHT and such.
I have tried the cab floating about on the forum that updates the library as soon as the phone is switched on and I have also tried enabling SD card caching in Artemis Center.
I have also done my very best to search to see if there is an answer to this problem, and whilst I can find people with the same problem I cannot find a solution. I have also tried posting in the topic thread but its moving at a crazy pace, and questions get buried far too quickly to be answered. So hopefully I can find an answer here.
it seems that the latest build of AudioManager is extremely buggy. I have tried 3 different roms and none of the standard registry edits fix the issue
Is it possible to manually revert back to an older version, or is there a version of Artemis you would suggest that doesnt have this issue? (or any other )

Oh my...
This thread has been closed and re-opened and I just wanted to make the intentions of the thread clear.
I am trying to find a ROM to use and am interested int he Artemis ROM, however after testing it I found this bug in the music player, I then asked to see if there was a solution to this bug in the ROM thread (the 'correct' place to ask)
here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ostcount=14093
and here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ostcount=14110
But as you can see the question got buried so quickly that no-one was able to help out. In a situation like this where is is close to impossible for me to ask the communtiy for help due to the pace of the topic I felt there was no other option but to create a new topic with my question.
I have been over all of this with the mod and he can see the problem and has subsequently allowed for this topic to be opened again.
So, hopefully somone can help

I am not sure I understand you objection, you link to previous versions of your ROM in you ROM thread and the portion you quoted is simply me asking if there is a previous release of your ROM that does not have the issue with the music player.

Hello everybody,
I face the same problem and cannot find a solution.
Did anybody find out how to fix this? I use S2P right now but is not a satisfying solution...
I'm Using CleanEX OsROM 4.40
Thanks and best regards,

Hello mega maniac What version or artemis is it that you have used? and what language version. What is your radio? and hspl or sspl? I have been using artemis roms since version 9 and have never encountered any problems with the music player. Im currently on artemis v22b and my music library loads instantly and the player never crashes( i use it every day at work). Maybe a simple task 29, then upgrade artemis rom will sort this problem for you.

Hi,
I felt fairly dejected after trying to solve this problem and getting absolutely no-where, as such I ended up using the Energy ROM series which have their own bugs it seems, just not ones that stop me using the phone as much as this music player bug. I'm re-flashing today and have tried the Artemis ROM again but the same bug is there, if I play the music it will freeze after a few seconds without fail. I'm now trying out Dutty's ROM but for your information and hopefully to help out others here is the information you asked for
I am using the very latest version of Artemis V.23.0
Radio: I tried several radios with the Artemis ROM, all of which presented the same problem I also tried it with the recommended 2.07.51.22_2 . The Radio I am now using is 2.11.50.26
HSPL - SPL 1.42.HSPL (doesnt mean much to me, but thats what shows when i turn on with vol down) for the record this is the only thing that I havn't gone out of my way to update to the recommended HSPL in the Artemis thread. I'm not sure if the HSPL version is capable of creating a bug in the music tab but it seems to be the only thing that I am doing differently.
p.s. I really am not sure what a task29 is
edit: just finished installing Dutty's HG v4.4 and it has the same problem, although I never had this problem with the Energy ROM series i'm clearly missing something.

They were more ones that related to personal usage. After installing the new HTC messaging client the messages somtimes would not show up, also the lockscreen would send you to the wrong messaging client. I would also have to reset the phone because of complete lockups more often than normal.
Been the best ROM I have tried so far however, so I'm not knocking it
edit: just read up on tsk29, think I may give it a shot now.

They were more ones that related to personal usage. After installing the new HTC messaging client the messages somtimes would not show up, also the lockscreen would send you to the wrong messaging client. I would also have to reset the phone because of complete lockups more often than normal.
Been the best ROM I have tried so far however, so I'm not knocking it

I've never come across any bugs with the EnergyROM series, of course sometimes NRG does a dodgy upload but it's usually down within a couple of hours to rectify and re upload. Not that I've ever downloaded a duff one.
I'm a big fan of the EnergyROM, I'll bang on to anyone about it!

I think as soon as the new HTC messaging client is used by default in the Energy ROM's I'll probably be switching back. I message ALOT and the default client in the Energy series just doesnt work as smoothly as the new HTC one.
Just task 29'd and re-installed dutty's ROM, same problem. may have to go back to stock and then upgrade my HSLP, pain in the boom boom.
Same thing here, music stops after a few seconds and music player in landscape will give me a 'no music found' error.
I can see my music in the all songs tab, but in the albums tab I see none.
I tried 3 different ROMs Artemis, energy and for now Cleanex, all with the same error.
I tried formatting the SD-card (16GB) and sync all my songs with WMP, this did the trick for about 5 minutes
Really frustrating because music player is the app I use the most.

his newest ROMs are using the newest sense (2016) which seems to be causing freezeups. Lots of complaining going on in his thread.
Seems the newest audio manager is causing the music player problems so nrgz already reverted back to a previous one.
Now if we could just get sense to play nice....
Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.
I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!
The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!
The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.
Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.
Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.
The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..
OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!
Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?
thanks in advance

Flash a custom ROM, they are far superior.

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I get this from time to time on my Energy ROM, I don't know what causes it, it doesn't really bother me.

I am assuming you have BSB Tweaks installed? If so you have the 'Wifi Standby' option in Connections selected on. If you don't have it, download it and make sure it's disabled.

I've done a search using the forums search function, (hint hint) and found this it seems to have helped someone with this same problem with their HD2.

I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.
I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).
There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks

253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.
219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.
That's the basics of the differences between them both.
ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.
Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.
The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.

If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.
ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback!
And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.
1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.
2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-
3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.
4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...
My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...
