At&t HTC Pure Problems answering calls - Touch Diamond2, Pure General

Hey guys I just had an issue with my new phone. When I go to answer a call, I would say it has about a 50% chance of getting hung up. The phone will ring and when I slide to answer, it just stays on that screen for around 10 seconds. If I pick up early enough, the call will still come through after it waits. Most of the time it just stays silent until it notifies me of missing the call. It does this whether I use the hard key to answer or the slide function. I hve tried several roms and this problem keeps happening. i have tried Dutty's R6, Tess Pride III and IV, Cheetah 2.2, Official HTC ROM, and even the stock At&t rom. It does it regardless of what ring I have selected as well. If i have a short mp3 it does it and stock ringtones and even vibrate and silent.
The interesting thing is that this is my second htc pure. The first one had a badly scratched screen due to the crappy screen protector that att sold me. The first phone also had this same issue. I was wondering if you guys had a solution to this. I don't know if it is a network problem or a phone problem. I have tried using S2U2 because I thought that maybe it was because of the actual slide to answer function but that did not work.
I am currently using the EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" manilla 2.1 WWE 21889 with radio
4.49.25.17
I am really leaning towards it being a problem with the at&t network. I have had problems in the past with them because it did something similar with my old phone.
Any help would be awesome. I appreciate everything you guys do on this forum.

works fine on the stock rom i am useing ... dont know what to say .

I am still looking for the solution. I am gonna try my Sim in a couple other phones tonight and see if it is just my number.

I figured out what the problem was. I selected the standard windows mobile phone skin instead of the Leo canvas that everyone loves to cook into the roms. I think that the phone was having a hard time loading this canvas after loading my ringtone and showing the slide to answer screen. I have not had any problems ever since I switched canvases.

Number buttons only do numbers during a phone call

Whenever I'm on a call I can't take notes because the the buttons that have numbers on them only do numbers during a call, no matter what application I am in. I've tried it with numlock on and I still can't type letters. Does anyone know a way around this? I'm using a black rom, does it do this on the official one? I would really like to be able to take notes during a call.
Noticed this on WM6
Which version of WM are you using? The keyboard on my Cingular 8525 with WM5 functioned normally, even during a phone calls. But the problem you described surfaced when I upgraded my 8525 to the leaked WM6 ROM on this website.
I'm hoping that when AT&T releases their official 8525 WM6 ROM upgrade that this problem is corrected.
I'm using Black Satin
I've got the same deal going on here with my WM6 Cingular USA official version...reg edit in the works?
Hey just to confirm on this issue, I have the exact same problem with when I recently upgraded to WM5 to Schaps_WM6Pro_WWE_3.57a_Full.
I also hope there is a fix for it, cause WM6 looks pretty good. Unfortunately I probably won't see WM6 from Rogers any time soon.
got the same problem with my softbank X01HTC w/ WM6.
Don't have this problem with Imate Jasjam using WM6 Black 2.5 rom
same problem here ... can anyone point me in the right direction? How about a reg dump from a working ROM? I'll do the diff if someone provides the data
There are a number of threads on this topic already. No one has yet to find a solution and some of the brightest minds are working on it. I am not one of those minds, however, I compared the registry dumps from during a call and not during a call and saw nothing that would make a difference. I would suggest "subscribing" to this thread (and the other ones to be safe) so that when someone posts an answer you will get an email. Unfourtunatly, you will also get an email when someone post "Me Too!", or even when someone is just being grumpy about the "Me Too"s.
Me too!
T-Mo 3.60 ROM has the same issue on my 8525... anyone find differently?
This has been the standard since Windows Mobile 2003. so people have been complaining about this since the Blue Angel days. The phone application that comes with WM takes control of the keyboard when there is an active call.
Using a different phone application is likely the only fix. Since most of you hate the phone application that comes with Windows, this shouldn't be heartcrushing for too many people. Which phone applications don't force this behavior? I have no idea, but I'm sure someone can let us know.
Of course, you can still use the onscreen keyboard when on a call which doesn't have this issue. I know this is painful for those of you who are morally opposed to using the stylus, though. To me, having the keyboard extended while on a call is awkward at best.
I'm not sure why this became such an active issue all of a sudden when the problem (or feature) has been around ever since the very first WM phone with a keyboard on it first appeared, although I think this is a nice indication that these devices are finally starting to catch on with new people.
You must be a very slow typer. It's a huge issue. I've ROM'ed my HTC Wizard & Hermes many times and have only had this problem with the WM6 image ... while i'm with you on it not being specific to the image or WM6, i don't agree that it's not important.
If you're saying a new phone app will fix it, i'm all about it but don't downplay the issue because it doesn't bother you.

It is a huge issue because with WM5 on my 8125 and on my 8525 this was NOT a problem. The letters worked as they were supposed to even during a call. It only began when I switched to to WM6. So WM6 broke something.
I didn't say this is a non-issue. But what I am saying is that this problem has been around for years.
It's possible that something from WM2003 was changed in WM2005, but made its way back into WM2006. I don't recall the problem on WM2005 on the Hermes, but I do recall it from earlier phones. But I also wasn't looking for the problem, either, and I don't generally text or do other typing when on phone calls.
Right on, has anyone found any more information about this problem?
Best I can tell it came in with all of the latest WM6 builds. Anything I've tried that's been labeled "official" or that is based on same has had the issue. I can say with certainty AT&T's WM5 didn't, nor did vp3G 2.0 (which was based on a pre-"official" build).
Beyond that, no clue.
eventually it'll get fixed.. what im really having issues now is overeating.. last night i had my phone plugged into the wall and was talking via bluetooth for about an hour and a half and my phone was extremely hot and had stopped charging.. i wish there was a fix for that and really am hoping i didn't buy a lemon 8525

Well, with the official TyTN ROMs having been released that way I'm beginning to have my doubts.
Does this work with the official AT&T WM6 rom? Anyone? Bueller?

S2U2????????

i`d jus like to know if anyone is using S2U2 with duttys topaz R2 rom, because i cant seem to answer incoming calls anymore using this. i could with original rom but since flashing this rom S2U2 will not allow me to answer incoming calls, when sliding the slider bar to answer, or using the buttons option to answer nothing happens. if anyone knows why or can help it would be much appreciated. thanks.
I had the same issue using the original german HTC rom.
Sometimes it worked but often not.
I uninstalled S2U2 and don't use it any more (waiting for a newer version).
It is not reliable (v2.04).
regards
Andre
I had an issue with S2U2 flashing on and off repeatedly while locked, before answering an incoming call. Answering the call was impossible.
Further, battery life dropped from 3 days to 18 hours.
the same problem happened on original rom too? thats my theory out the window. i was thinking it had something to do with the 6.5 lock screen. because it worked fine for me with original rom, only when i flashed new rom i had this problem of not being able to answer calls.... oh well looks like i`l have to do without.

HTC Pure Answering Delay

After upgrading my Rom to Dutty's I noticed that when I tried to answer calls while the phone is in standby that it would take 5-10 seconds to connect. Thinking it was the Rom I installed the latest official 6.5 WWE and still had the problem. Turned off HSDPA and am no longer having any issues. I don't know if it's AT&T, My local area or what but just wanted to point this out if anyone else is having the same problem.

At least I'm not the only one who was having this problem. What's the downside of turning of HSDPA, if any?
I'm running stock pure with no delay, but I know what you mean.
On my old diamond on ATT, every single rom I tried had a long delay.
Yep, I have experienced this too, and just mentioned it in the other Pure thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=571462.
I thought it was a software issue with the dialer, and I've tested it quite a bit just by calling myself repeatedly. This didn't happen on the stock AT&T ROM, so I'm hoping somebody will release a nice version of an AT&T stock dump without the bloatware.
I also turned off the HSDPA and noticed that it even increased my download speed. I think my SIM is enabled for 3G but not HSDPA (perhaps) although I'm no expert in these things. The big thing I did notice was the extra battery life I got without HSDPA....
As for the ringer delay, mine is a stock rom and I get only one rings worth of delay on the sound and no delay on the wake-up. This is with the standard Topaz dialer but with a 1.3mb MP3 custom ringtone.
There is a tweak in Diamond Tweaks and HD Tweaks which can be set to ring "without delay" or "with delay". You could try that to reduce your delay.

I think you're talking about a different kind of delay mitsi. The delay we are talking about is when a call comes in we hit the talk button to connect to the call. When we hit that button (either hardware or with the answer slider) the call does not connect immediately. It takes several seconds. In other words, you can't just answer a call immediately. You have to wait for it to connect. It's kind of a strange bug and doesn't happen to me all the time. It's maybe only 30 percent of the time.
I too seem to be having this problem. Does turning off the HSDPA fix the issue, or is it deeper than that?
I thought it went away after switching off HSDPA but of the 5 calls I received today it happened twice. Up until today I was fine since I started this thread. Anyone have any suggestions.
The problem is due to topaz phone canvas. Pure is more compatible with Leo Phone canvas than topaz canvas. Which makes sense as Pure and Leo both do not have video call feature.
Try Dutty's ROM with leo phone canvas. You won't have this problem.
P.S. If you can find a cab to replace topaz canvas.. that should work as well. No need to specifically shift to Dutty's ROM. Dutty's ROM is just an example.

What specific canvas did you load?
Most of these ATT people are having a hard time, and it mimic the prior gen on ATT.
Until you can say there's a fix, there is NO fix. Thanks for the suggestions, I dumped my Pure.
I could never get more than 700k on the stock rom on various test sites, and even youtube would start, stop, lag, start, stop lag; maybe 10 sec intervals.
I called ATT about it and they had no fix or benchmarks (like a speedtest) that I could run.
Great battery life though, if you can stand slow speeds, **sigh**
S2U2 seems to have been the root of my problem, at least for now. After removing that, I havent had the issue again tonight.

How many times did I mention 3rd party sliders on ATT phones?
I used different ROMS... including official HTC ROMs. That's how I conclude that Topaz canvas is the problem. Although our phone is technically Topaz, there are few differences. viz. Front camera.
For all the issues you listed, AT&T is to blame. They are either ignorant or just plain arrogant.
1) At&t removed front camera... which is stupid... further, this resulted in incompatibility with euro Topaz phone canvas. Hence the delay.
Well, there is a Fix. Use Leo canvas... any version. (I prefer to just use ROMs with Leo canvas). If we are flashing ROMs that is not compatible with our phone.. we are to blame.
2) At&t has a really bad DNS server. This server is responsible for directing your browser to proper servers. Try servers from OpenDNS.com
3) At&t further sends all our data through a proxy. This proxy is known to cause problems with youtube. There is cab floating around to disabling it.
4) Just last week, I did a browsing speed comparison with iPhone. I found the speed to be same on flash free websites. However, with flash heavy websites, our phone downloads flash files and thus browser feels slow. If you want speed, disable flash.
The slow speeds are due to At&t nothing to do with Pure.
Honestly, and humbly, Pure is a very good device. is it perfect.. not at all...however, we do want it to do things that it was not designed to do.
my pure has a camera, yours doesn't?
Mine's going back tomorrow. If it can't work well "never flashed", then what good is it?

Oh not a front camera, sorry, I see what you are saying.
Disable proxy is an option built into the pure. I've tried both ways.
DNS shouldn't be an issue for the end user.
I've compared to iphone in the same area(s), and mine is not working well, but it's probably a testament to the good battery life.
ATT/Pure are one in the same. You can't have one without the other. Overall the experience was WORSE than my unlocked new diamond that I had prior to this. MUCH WORSE. And ATT has no metrics to validate the lag and slow download speeds that I experienced.
My impression is that after 30 days, it's not a good device for data at all. Call quality was better than the diamond for ATT, but that's about all.

Dont know, dont care, because that isnt the issue after all.
I flashed multiple roms last night, and had this issue repeatedly.
I agree with the previous though, it does seem to be a phone canvas issue. Anyone know where to find a Leo canvas?
For the record, I really like my Pure. Speed is great where I live.
@cucamelsmd15: As for where to find a Leo phone canvas ROM, try Dutty's Holy Grail R1 LP version. The LP is the Leo phone canvas version. I don't know of any other ROMs that come with Leo phone canvas.
@arkavat: What is annoying to me is that the Pure is supposed to offer video call features, although not face-to-face I guess becaus there is no front camera. But video call software is there in the stock ROM as a subscription option if you want to do video calls. It's annoying that there is an incompatiblity issue with the standard Topaz canvas. I am hoping that somebody will release a "video call canvas fix for AT&T Pure" cab.

Ive been using that one today, and so far, its been rock solid.
I LOVE my Pure. Throw a new rom on there. AT&T crap sucks.
Hell at least throw the Official WM6.5 rom up... sure it includes a Topaz dialer but better overall. I haven't tested the Leo Phonecanvas yet... I have it... just haven't cooked it in yet.
I'll play with it and perheps my next release will have a Leo dialer.
Pleyer911,
When do you plan to release that new version?

HTC HD2 - Possibly the worst mobile phone i have ever had

Just as the title says......
I got this phone in December after hearing nothing but good reviews about it and HTC Sense looks really good. I have had Nokia phones ever since the Nokia 3210 but after some problems with my last 2 Nokia's, i thought i would leave them and move to HTC.
To start with i use my phone a lot for listening to music but the music player is riduculous. It keeps stopping during songs, and sometimes the phone restarts itself when this happens. Sometimes it takes a couple of minutes for the song to play after selecting it.
Secondly, the text messaging application is a complete joke. I can send a text message to say my wife and she will not receive the message for a good coupls of hours or even sometimes, the next day. I have spoken to my service provider and they tell me that the message is taking 5 SECONDS to get from my phone to the recipent. That's when the phone actually decides to send the message.
Thirdly, typing on the keyboard is riduculous. Random letters are activated without me even pressing those keys. I can press, say, 'k' and some random letter in the middle of the keyboard is activated. This make typing a text message so so frustrating and annoying.
Lastly, i keep loosing the signal, therefore i cannot make a phone call, send a text or even browse the web. The signal indicator at the top of the screen has little dots where it indicates that it is looking for a signal and my operator text dissappears.
Other than these problems the phone is ok but i have sent the device to HTC twice now and it has come back exactly the same. The first time they said that they re-connected some connector inside the phone and the second time, they said that they reflashed the device due to some error messages.
I can honestly say that i regret making the move to the HTC HD2 and i am dissappointed because it had such good reviews. What can i do...go back to Nokia??

Hi Guys,
I have upgraded my phone to Rom 1.66 from the HTC website when it was released
you can try using a cooked ROM from this great forum and you will find that the great chefs here make better roms and most little annoyances you mention are ironed out.
using a cooked rom also makes you relize what a brilliant device the HD2 is compared to a Nokia!!!!!!

right, why do you hspl your device anyways if you're using stock roms?
ive got the telstra version in australia and dont have any of those problems with messaging or music playback etc. as far as i am concerned, it is an excellent phone. i have not upgraded the roms or anything. it is exactly as it was from telstra. as far as the signal thing goes, that is probably due to your carrier. regarding the keyboard, turn on the xt9 predictive text thing on the keyboard. trust me when i say it works. i was having difficulty with the keyboard due to having a touch pro as my previous phone that had a physical keyboard. the xt9 takes care of this problem. it does take a little getting used to especially if you are like me and learnt to touch type, but i find it easy to use now. dont give up on it just yet, they are as good as they look.

dear friend
if i may suggest, you need to take a strong stand with the shop you bought this phone from or at least with HTC. Your handset is definitely defected in terms of hardware and any kind of ROM upgrade is not going to help you.
best of luck
o2-lover
Have to agree with O2 lover. Had my phone for about 5 weeks and was running stock ROM 1.43.206.4 for a few weeks before upgrading to a cooked ROM and I had none of those problems.
Take it back to the shop and insist on a replacement handset as there is something clearly wrong with yours.
I know 3 people all with HD2's running stock ROM's (earlier ones than the 1.66 version which you're running) and I've never heard of any of the problems you've encountered.
No amount of flashing cooked ROM's will solve your problems imo...
The HD2 indeed had all those problems which you mentioned. But most of them are fixed now.
If you want to try a Custom ROM I'd suggest Artemis. It seemed pretty stable to me.
Also install the Less Sensitivity patch for your Keyboard.
Yeah install HSPL and void your warranty as your phone wasn't working properly in the 1st place.
He clearly has a defective handset, great advice though guys lol
rom choice is just a personal preferance but i use dutty's from htc pedia. all the issues you mention are all found in this forum if you do a little digging around. and there are loads of info for you to find out.
the music part if i remember rightly is somthing with the memory card try format the sd card.
the messaging problem i had on stock rom also sent a text to my gf about 12 o'clock and she recieved it at 3 a few times but changing radio helped. that's with 3 networkin the uk.
as for the keyboard use XT9 as its so easy to use(just typed this whole message using my phone)
i really do not think its hardware related? i could be wrong.
moving from a nokia to a device like this is hard to figure out but in time it sill be easy.

using HSPL won't void your warranty as it can easily be removed!!!!
I've experienced the music pausing on the 1.66 ROM although your pausing seems worse than mine (my phone has never restarted during music playback). Have you tried using another music player like Pocket Player? The reception problems and text message delays are possibly related and most likely caused by poor reception in your area. In my experience, the antenna in the HD2 is pretty good and I can often get good reception in areas where other people get none.
All answered by previous posters.
In your specific case I would suggest you need to be 'connected to people', rather than being 'quietly brilliant'.
Certainly this forum had all the answers to all your concerns apart from losing signal.
Generally where a device receives a multitude of rave reviews, it justifies these various reviewer opinions. The HD2 is no exception!
Since listening to music is your main ambition, any reason why you haven't considered the iPhone.
I have the ipod touch which is gathering dust, but I do miss not having a volume slider and perhaps lyrics!
Before the HD2 my Boss bought me the nokia N97...the worst Phone ever made by nokia:
ridiculous hardware problems, touchscreen with no cinetic scroll ( we talk about 600 € for the phone, man!!!).
Try to google around with this key words: "n97 gps" or "n97 camera"...
So don't say us, nokia is better
Nokia loses the touchscreen smartphone war, that's all.
Cheers
I've had my HD2 since release, way before HSPL and custom ROMs were available. I've never had any of the issues you have experienced, so a hardware problem with your handset could be likely.
However, I would at least have a bash at upgrading to a custom ROM first before returning your handset. If it does not improve matters you can flash back to a stock rom, which removes HSPL, so warranty will not be voided. You can then try for a replacement handset knowing in your mind there is definately an issue with the handset itself.
As well as the 'Artemis' ROM that was suggested, I would also recommend 'Topix' or 'Energy' ROM variants. But rather than listening to other people, have a good read in the "HD2 ROM Development" forum section for yourself. Finding a ROM you are happy with is very much about personal preference. It would be worth trying a few any way. But beware, flashing gets very addictive!

Getting rid of Home on Lock function

Hi, i want to make it so Manila stops going to home and taking focus everytime i lock/turn off the screen.
Iv been told this is supposed to be normal but it is annoying the living crap out of me, is there any way to mod this out of my Manila install ?
No one has a clue ?
Basically when you are in a tab in HTC sense "manila" when you lock then unlock your back on home tab and if your in another app like say Opera and the phone locks then you unlock it your back at manila home tab.
this is driving me mad becoz through the day il randomly come back and forth between the phone and the computer and its difficult to resume where i was up to on the phone having to constantly switch back to the tab or app im in.
Artemis ROM apparently has what i want but right now im enjoying Omega rom... but if i cant resolve this with Omega im going to haveto loose the fancy rom
This is the first time iv had a phone that auto-homes like this.... its batty !!!
This is annoying the hell out of me too. I cant believe more people are complaining about this.
I can no longer afford for my phone to go to standby when in SMS particularly because when i wake from standby it takes me Home and i loose what ive writen. similar anoyance for internet, email etc...
I have search forum after forum, posted on EnergyROM last week, and even tweeted on NRGZ28 but no response.
Just about to flash back to an older ROM when this anoyance didnt happen.
PS imsure its to do with the OBOE build or similar. I bet that phone has a separate end and power key where on the HD2, these 2 keys are combined.
Must be a reg hack?
you wont neex to do that the artemis rom fixes this issue. itd be nice to know how so we can apply the patch to other roms aswell
second that. patch needed
got some releif... if you press the windows key then lock via the padlock screen icon it.won't.go home.
so the issue is the hangup function homes but you haveto press it to lock and screen off your phone.
clearly some of the roms aren't for this model of the phone that has one key for lock and hangup. the chefs should specify this.
still does it on the latest energyrom 4th september with 24631 build.
flashing back to an earlier rom to overcome this anoying jump to home on wake from standby.
blessed is he who solves this problem.
i installed S2U2 and that has the option unlock to last screen. So no manila home, just come back to where you came from.
Well, i flashed up to the latest energy rom from the 23138 and it still happens.
S2U2 did not work either. theres a couple of posts on that thread about the bug.
I reckon it must be to do with Manila 2018 because anything prior to this and it does not do it.
Is eveybody getting this problems...with other ROMS etc.
i dont have this problem since i bought the phone
this seems to be confirmed as a problem native to the lastest Manila build 2018.
