bad dialer

I'm wondering why my dialer digits respond as bad as the ones on older htc phones.
htc diamond's dialer responds almost as quick as the iphone's one so im asking if this is just in my case or if it is like that with the htc touch hd in general.

come on there have to be other people here that already used their htc touch hd's dialer and can tell me if they got the same problem ?

I just recived my touch hd today and my dialer seems to be responding fine, I would say almost comparable to iphone.

hmm mine is far away from being comparable to the iphone... are there any videos of the blackstone dialer in action?

Maybe you should post more information than saying "It rains here, why?"
So if we would know how many contacts you have in Outlook, how many on SIM card, and what applications you have installed, one could possibly be more helpful.

sorry, im using the phone straight out the box (german version, no other software installed), deleted all sim & outlook contacts but still the dialer is far away from responding quick.

I have like 400 outlook contacts with my german version, and the dialer is working almost instantly.
Maybe something is wrong with your SIM Card, how old is the SIM Card, which version?
Try to use the dialer without SIM Card.

just tried it without sim card - same problem.
actually i would say it is a small delay when i push a digit, but if you need to dial a number fast its really annoying.
the dialer is far away from responding as quick as the diamond / iphone's one.

I just tried to dial a 12 digit number, and it would take me 1,5 seconds (i cannot type faster), and no error or digit left out.
I guess something is wrong with your phone.

Could you make a video and upload it somewhere so we can better understand the problem?

Same problem with slow responding in Phone application
I received my Touch HD last week and have the german language version too.
I have also problems with slow responding of the phone application of my touch HD. When I dial digits often the phone does not show the digits immediately after typing. That very bad because you can not be sure that the phone recognised the pressing of the digit you want or not.
Often when I want to pick up a call the phone application is so slow that Im not able to use the softtouch buttons on the screen because great lag.
I have not found yet a solution for this.
I have already tried soft and hard reset, even disabled all running programs befor calling but nothing helped.
I hope someone can help me.

yeah i've decided im going to return my hd, it just still has too many bugs.
i dont know if it's just the german firmware...but i will get one again as soon as theres a new firmware and they maybe fixed some bugs in the hardware.

What firmware version do you have? I have 1.14, and not found bugs that are showstoppers for me.

try this,
go in the phone application, then go to menu/options and disable the keypad sounds.
this sould make keys more responsive.

try to post as much information as possible
ROM version?
Radio stack version?
etc
etc
some information may have nothing to do with this SEEMINGLY, but you never know. and the more info we have from you the more we can help, and the more variables we can eliminate.
awaiting your video upload as well

Hotfix HTC e-club

Hi,new patchs are available :
- Hot fix for resolving a display flicker of the title bar in TouchFLO 3D 2009-01-07
- Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls 2009-01-07

this one?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468399
the slide to answer hotfix already declared not only useless but also harming. see here the solution:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468608
even the clowns at HTC realized that the fix is doing more damage than good and they "make it disappear".
hope nobody else jumped to install this fix (if it is still there). a short search before post is highly recommended, no matter how good yr intentions are.

Those seem to be new fixes, anyone tried them yet?

I just did a filecompare on the original file I still had and the new "_HTC Touch HD_TouchHD_display flicker.exe", they are identical.
I don't have the original _HTC Touch HD_Touch HD_SlidingAnswer.exe anymore so I can't check that, did HTC actually fix the bug in it?

Theres original 1/7 published fix if someone wants to compare it to version wich is on htc support now.

If you want i can make a clean install cab with all correct fixes incl. without the unnecc. reg entries incl. uninstall.
let me know if you want this.
for now. here are all relevant files from all 3 fixes as zip
!!PLS: but as you know, the "videocall button switch to call histroy bug" is there inside and isn't fixed !
These belongs to file:"phcanhtc.dll" !!
So my tip - copy all files (exclusive "phcanhtc.dll") to your windows dir and let me know how it works and if a cab for it is neccesary.

Didnt realise there was anything wrong with the slider in answering call anyway. Seems ok to me...

I actually like that feature never really did use the video calling feature

I can dial video phone
Yesterday, I installed the hot fix of "Hot fix for improving the on-screen slider feature for answering calls."
And I check the video call function, it's normal~
I didn't see "call history" on the left bottom. I also ask my friend to help to check it. His Blackstone is normal. We both can dail video phone.
Did I miss something or the HTC hot fix is fixed?
http://www.htc.com/europe/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=all

Yeap, HTC re-released a working version of the patch at the end of last week.

They have indeed fixed the hot fix. The one that's there now works fine. If you installed the old "fix" you can just install the new one on top of it - no need to uninstall

I've been trying to insyall the slider fix and it tells me I have the incorrect version. I just uninstalled the old version and installed the new fresh from the site. Any ideas?

[HELP] Cannot answer calls with Duttys R10 WM6.5 ROM and S2U2 v2.04

This appears to be a problem for some people but not others. I cannot find a definite fix on the posts I have read, hoping someone has found a working solution, so started a thread for just this issue.
I have just installed Dutty's R10 WM6.5 ROM on my Touch HD, and only have that and S2U2 version 2.04 installed on top, and whenever I get an incoming call when the screen is locked, the call comes through fine, caller ID and all but I cannot answer it. WHen I go to slide to answer, the S2U2 app and the dialers own slide screen is fighting for priority. I seem to be able to answer on occasion if I repeatedly tap the answer hardware key, but this doesn't always work.
I have tried swapping the settings around, and disabling the S2A, but then the other green and red keys appear and still cannot answer. Also tried the suggestion of adding S2U2 to the boitouch exemptions list in the registry with no success.
Anyone had the same issues and fixed or knows of a patch or workaround?

Same here. I may have found a workaround.
Just disable Caller ID on S2U2 and let the 6.5 handle incoming calls with Caller ID.
I tested, seem to work fine for me. You should try it and feedback here.

Yes, disabling the Caller ID from within S2U" worked, fantastic!!!
Does anyone know why the Caller ID now doesn't work using Duttys R10 and S2U2? Previous ROMs (think they were all WM6.1 though) have worked..

Probably just the updated WM base used. These OEM's keep moving and it's prbably hard for AC to keep up with S2U2.

glad you found a fix....
I was in a similar boat... I have a T8285 for use of 3g in US, but I cant answer incoming calls when i leave the phone with 3g on and locked when the call is received. just passes the call to be missed, all the while i keep sliding the bar to answer. the hotfix from htc made it worse... just made the dialer screen all screwy.
I posted the problem in both miri and dutty threads that are of which i use, but neither are the actual culprit.
sooo I tried S2U2 and disabled caller id, as suggested in this thread, but this didnt fix it. after searching for weeks, i've been stuck leaving my phone on edge.
sorry for the sob story. i envy that you fixed something and i haven't lol.

A number of HTC hotfixes had similar affect with my phone, i.e. made dialer all screwed up. I generally don't use them as they get implemented into the latest roms anyhow.
Which rom are you using at present? Have you tried posting your query into the S2U2 thread. Your most likely going to get more accurate response from someone who uses that software

S2u2 is new to me, so I haven't had the chance; I'll check that dedicated thread shortly.
Currently I use miri WM 6.5 23009. I've posted in that rom development thread and read it almost thoroughly (1K+ pages!).

If you turn on "windows dialer" instead "slide to answer" everything works fine even with "caller ID-> ON".The only thing with windows dialer you can't see the call history in dialer but if you use call history button the history shows fine.
I'm using duttys6.5 r9 turbo

Solved.
Hello
With new S2U2 version 2.12 is solved. Even with htc dialer, even with Caller ID, etc.
I had the same problem with Rom 6.5. But now is ok.
Regards.
Cure.

In Call Recording Activated in the Reg.

Hi, all. Last night I came across a couple of reg setting's that added an extra option when making a phone call.
Here is the main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR
Change value from 0 to 1.
Also change to the following:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
Reboot phone.
Then make a Phone call then press right softkey (Menu) and Record appears as an option. Press it and the phone plays a sound (indicating beginning of recording) and phone returns to normal in call screen. When call is hung up or you press stop recording in the menu. Another sound plays. Go to notes under My Documents on Phone and there is a time and date stamped audio file.
I have not fully gone there with this yet as I'm at work (long weekend/ 8am sat till 6pm Mon) But will let you know of any progress as and if I get any.
Bye for now.
Phil
Note
Sorry for basic path error, I'm working right now and am just popping in from time to time. Sorry once again.

Diigibio,
I believe the other registry keys to be modified may be the following:
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"VocRecPath"=dword:00000002
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"RingingAdressId"=dword:00000000
[HKLM\System\AudioRecording]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice]
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
Nonetheless, despite these modifications, it appears that the recording is not totally perfect with some software, such as Vito Audio Notes Touch (the voice of the callee is too low)
...

Thanks for posting this. Needs to get added to the hints and tips sticky.
The key is actually at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR on my HD2

Cheers,
tried it on a German stock 1.43 ROM, RECORD option does not appear in the menu even after soft reset.
And BTW, the correct path would be:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR
Best regards
GZ

Graf,
Try this cab.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493118
It works on my HD2.

Also it only appears in the menu once a call had been started. This id built in to rom without external programlike vito or Resco recorders. When I'm able to get my laptop out, I'll post a screenie.

I installed "2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording cab" and it still didn't work on mine. It only records the incoming voice. Should i have tried "2_Way_Recording" cab instead ?
I tried ACR, Resco, Vito. Always the same bug :\
I've got the official ROM.

Did you also make the changes in the registry as mentioned above?
Normally during a phone call you can go into the menu and check 'recording'.

No i haven't, but i will. Can you confirm me i took the right CAB ? There are two.
Do these reg tweaks apply onlu for the built-in Windows Mobile recording option ? I'm looking for one which does the job automaticaly (not the case of this one apparently). So i wish to use Resco.

I remember this reg tweak back with the Blackstone. I tried it on the HD2 but the sound quality is very low and poor. Is there anything else that can be done to improve it? Once all is good I will add to hints and tips thread.

tboy, thanks.
That would be very helpful.
The above registry tweaks do work, and phone conversations can be recorded. The only thing we shall improve is the low sound quality.
There must be a registry for the volume level too.

So. . .
I have done this tweak on my device,
with all the additional info and Reg Changes also.
The recording of my voice is crisp and clear, while the recording of the other person is very weak (low volume) and noisy.
I think I read on another thread that someone else encountered a similar problem.
So my question is - is there anything else I should do to improve the recording quality of the other person ?
Is there anyone else still having the same problem ?
Thanks.

I too have done the various reg edits and although it seems to work (there is a record option when making a call, a sound plays and a file is generated) the output file doesn't contain either outgoing or incoming sound!
I had to create the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice" since it didn't exist, I wonder if this has any bearing on the matter?
I also initiated recording before I was connected to the other end, maybe that's my problem.
I will try only activating record once I'm connected and I will also give that cab a whirl, and report back

il be keeping an eye on this one,

Let us know if it works, and on both sides !
Cheers.

Any news about that?

Steps I took
Hey all,
I though I'd give this a shot. I changed the Main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\EnableICR from 0 to 1.
However I didn't have the folder/key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice So I created it!
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Voice
"AllowInCallRecording"=dword:00000001
"EnableCallRecodMenuItem"=dword:00000001
It all seems to work, the menu option appears and I get the sound when recording starts, however it's very quiet.
One way around this is to put the phone on load speak. Then the recording is clear.
Hope this helps.
S

Does it work if you only edit EnableICR 0 to 1 or do you have to create Voice folder and these 2 reg keys, for which we are not sure if are working because we dont alerady have them originally?

[SOLVED] Phone Screen Freezing

Hi,
I have been creating ROMs for about a month now and i seem to have a problem on most of my recent ROMs which i didn't have before
I am using build 23569, WM6.5.5, Based on Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.01.405.T1 using osKitchen1.31alpha2.
The problem i seem to be having is when i recieve an incoming call there is no screen to answer it, it stays on whatever screen your on. You Cant answer the phone using the hard pickup button. and th phone keeps ringing until i do a battery pull.
Also when i dial out the screen freezes sometimes when answered and cannot end the call or when you end the call either using the end call button or the hard end call button it ends the call but hangs on the screen then i have to push the hard end call button to lock the phone then unlock the phone and press the hard talk button to make sure everything is fine and usually the dialer screen pops up.
I have removed all dialer themes and taskbar themes which temporarily solved th problem but then it started again.
i am using
Code:
Phone Canvas Enhancement 2G v4.2.62520142921.0
Phone Setting v1.72.0.0
I have also tried using
Code:
Phone_Canvas_Enhancement_5_0_61220142530_0
PhoneCanvas_5_30_0_0
PhoneExt_Service_2_52_0_0
I cant seem to fix the problem.
If you would like to see the problem in action please download one of my ROMs from the link in my signature
Many Thanks In Advanced

Thanks for reply i wasent using that one anyways i was just for testing purposes but i think i have narrowed it down to my reg files but dont quiet know which one it is
If you would like to see it let me know i will upload it

I finally found the problem, It was a line in my tweaks app.reg.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\GSensor]
"PollingInterval"=dword:0000000a
I also found out if you change this setting using a app like Advanced Config, you get the same problem. I think it has something to do with build 23569 as when i was using build 23568 i did not have this problem.
