Touch Screen stops working during a call - HD2 General

I am using the T-Mobile US version of the HD2.
Whenever I make a call the dialer screen stops responding to touch, that includes the entire screen, not only the dialer buttons (sometimes if I rub the button it will respond, but most of the times it won't).
If I press the home button during the call the screen starts responding to touch again, but if I go back to the dialing screen its stops working again.
If I end the call using the hard button the dialer screen starts responding to touch again.
I hard reset the phone and the problem disappeared and then after a few days started again.
The proximity sensor works fine during the call and turns off the screen if I place the phone next to my face and turns it on again if I move the phone away from my face.
Anyone has a fix for this problem?

i had the same problem with one of energy's roms, but with all the flashing and different cabs, i never isolated the problem.
flash and rom and install your cabs one by one?

do you have bsb tweaks installed by any chance?

Same problem here, HD2 T-mobile dialer not responding
Same exact problem here.
Using the US stock HD2 T-mobile ROM with HTC sense Today's plugin disable (using spb pocket plus, phone weaver and Pocket Breeze instead).
Once I initiate a call the screen stops responding.
I used Kaiser Tweaks to change the dialer to the "Windows Mobiel Dialer"... now, the screen works fine, but when dialing a number I can't see any of the contact information. Also, with windows mobile dialer the proximity sensor is not working, so my face keeps activating buttons on the phone now.
Need help here!!!

I have BSB installed.
Also have many other cab's installed, so can't tell when or which software caused this.
Also, when tried to enable HTC sense again... the phone crashes... tooke me another 2 hours of reset'ing untill I was able to disable Sense and revert to windows 6.1 today's screen.

Turn off the BsB Tweak "tap time". That causes this problem.

IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!
The HD2 dialer is working again
Thank you!
Any idea why the WM dialer is not showing the contacts?

The fix worked, but...
That fix worked, the problem is I like the tap delay setting. without it I launch programs by mistake almost all the time while scrolling.
I tried to play with the registry value the fix changes:
HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime
the initial value is 0, the tweak changes it to 30, I tried lowering the value all the way to 10 and still every time the dialer screen stops responding while talking on the phone. It works fine once the value is reset to 0.
Does anyone know how to change the tap delay and stop the problem from happening? The answer might be found if we know why does it only happen in the dialer screen? Maybe there is a registry value for the dialer that is causing a conflict.

Thank you johncmolyneux!!! Enabled this recently to see how it worked and noticed the dialer stop responding, searched the forums and found this. Thanks!

Works like a charm!!
thanks, been looking for that for a long time...
changed BsB tap settings to off, soft reset, and now the HD2 touch screen works again during a call, so I can use the speaker and dialpad

Thanks a lot, Worked like a charm for me! Strange thing to include that tweak in BsB though - maybe works for other models/ROMs..

Heartfelt thanks
I recently updated my stock ROM and encountered this problem. After searching the forums I found this solution. MANY THANKS Mr M!

Weird problem with the G-sensor

So, when i turn on the phone, the G-sensor/Gyrator are working pretty well. But when i make a phone call or answer one there's something going on afterwards. When i open an application and rotate the phone to landscape, the app automatically is closed and i'm stuck to the home screen (when restarted everything is back to normal till the next call). This is really annoing when browsing the net. Any suggestions?

do not use GSEN
I have experienced a similar problem with SMS. I currently have Gyrator installed.
When i open a SMS and rotate the phone to landscape and try to use the keyboard, the app automatically closes and i'm stuck in the home screen.
I don't experience any other problems with other apps, just SMS & Email
This is really starting to annoy me.
I have checked WIKI which quotes
Simple enough, you could disable all rotation, then just use the "Windows Title" provided by Gyrator and select SMS and email tab (or others apps you wanted to rotate), add event and enable, then go rock with your Landscape full qwerty when typing SMS and emails.

Hi,
I have exactly the same issue.
WWE HD device.
gyrator2
after reset everything back to normal....
I stopped using Gyrator because I also got infrequent problems which seemed to be caused by this.
I now use AEB Plus with double press on the OK button to rotate the screen. I personally find this the simple way to rotate as I don't often need the rotate.
I disabled all rotation in Gyrator.
Then I only enabled the rotation for sms/mms, mail, tomtom, and just a few others.
Set the polling rate to 2 seconds.
It works oke now, except for the incoming call problem.
Thanks for the infos, i tried reinstalling the gyrator, made a phone call and everything was normal.

Which version do you have installed for gyrator?
I have 2008.12.10.1
HI,
did some additional testing.
It seems not to occur after just one phone call.
I rebooted the device and everyhting was oke (with rotating).
I made a call
I recieved a call.
Still everything is oké.
Anyone else got something to add as a fact?

Mine is the same.
Exceed: You havn't found anything that could help us out here?
No, mate, it just happend after i reinstalled the app. I don't know how and why.
Don't know what I did, but havn't had the problem for almost a whole day now...
Will update when I know more details.
Solved;
It was the 'darklord' coloured icons top bar cab file that caused the rotate to loose its focus.
I removed it and it worked.
Pitty that I don't see the percentages of the battery live not anymore...
with regards.

Has rotate - phone dialer bug been fixed yet?

Just a quick question,
As I understood, the Touch HD has a bug of when you rotate your screen to landscape, sometime the Phone dialer appears (im using gyrator 2)
With all the cooked rom, fixes around, I just wonder if this has been fixed yet? I've try searching using several related keywords but no luck...
Thanks.
I have this problem too - I'm using GSen but I'm going to try some of the others people have suggested
Switch to WM dialer rather than HTC dialer. YOu will loose the ability to make video calls though.
use changescreen v 1.5, its the best without bugs
I am not aware of this bug (with FlipIt)? :S
I have this problem too. Even when gyrator is not activated.
Could anyone describe this bug a litte bit more precisely? I haven't noticed any bug with the dialer yet even while using Gyrator2.
So, maybe its just an configuration issue?

For me it happens sometimes (ok, actually most of the times) when I rotate the device to use landscape mode in Opera or another program. It jumps out of the program and the dialer appears for a few seconds then finally ends up in TF3D...
as I understood it, it's TouchFlo which is causing problems as it was not designed to be used in landscape. Switch off tf3d and the rotation issues go away..

S2U2 problems on Omnia 2, Not everything works properly

Hi there! I have a problem with S2U2 on my I8000 Omnia 2. I installed it, and tried it. It's a cool program, but the call screen is not working to me.
----------
I also have new problems with S2U2. smile.gif I don't care about the sliders anymore, I was turned all off. But when my phone rings, and I press the answer button, the phones keep ringing and not do anything. I can't accept calls with S2U2. Is this a known issue or someone have an idea how to fix this? Or I should use an other app like S2U2?
----------------------
This messages copying modoco.
Try the latest S2U2 Release v2.30, works like a charm on my Omnia2.
Make sure to select RawBuffer as Graphics Mode. (Setting is located at Advanced S2U2 Settings page)
S2U2 was a real pain in the ^ss up until v2.30.
I haven't had any locking issues with the new version, but some serious battery drain have been spotted. I don't mind, since I have chargers at the car, the office and any other place I need it.
It takes like 13% percent of battery overnight when the phone sleeps.
Without S2U2 I can navigate with GPS for an hour for around 10%.
i am facing one serious problem when using S2U2.
original Samsung Omnia2 alarm does not work properly under S2U2.
sometime alarm ring properly. but sometime, only a very short "beep" then it stopped.
this happened especially during alarm in Snooze.
anyone know how to tackle this problem?
thank you in advance

I am using WM6.1 and problem with s2u2 (LATEST) is that while it locks the screen nicely, it leaves the ans/end hard key exposed. This creates problem when I accidentally press them while taking phone out of the pouch. For that I had to have other arrengements as mentioned in this forum. If you had no such issues, then your OS must be of a different version. I hate machine specific softwares.
Not true
Out of all HTC snobs here at XDA, A_C is the one who really cares. V2.22 was blazinly fast updated to V2.24 because of dimming issue on ... thats correct - Samsung Omnia II devices. So talking about device-specific software about S2U2 is so wrong and unfair.
I am facing a different problem with S2U2..
When I am listening to music through Touch Player, the song gets paused as soon as S2U2 activates, then I have to press the lock key and then the song plays again
When S2U2 is not running it plays the song flawless..
Any settings I need to change..?

But at the end of the day, it is not locking the ans/end lock keys which is a problem
Ps: I hv never owned an HTC
No need to use S2U2 now, I am using TouchLockPro, much much better, no more secondary gesture when power on, also the app is fully utilizing the G-sensor and the light sensor.

I had the same problem that was very annoying and some of the above too...The main reason I wanted s2u2 was because I didn't want the hardware key button answer call to be enable.Sometimes I was answering calls without knowing it because it was in my bag and with all the stuff in it the button was pushed by itself...From what i see samsung herself has slides for accept or end calls, why the hardware key buttons have to work too?Do you know any trick to disable them when the phone is locked...
Thanks i n advance!
I have the same problem with my Omnia.
Using latest S2U2 (2.43) and setting an alarm with the standard Samsung app.
I have tried most probably all combinations of s2u2 and alarm settings, without any luck.
Anyone ever found a solution for this ?

s2u2 problem with wm6.5

hello.
i've encountred something weird with s2u2 and wm6.5 on my hd2.
i get a call, and the full screen from s2u2 works for a second, but then the regular small and enoying caller canvas of the wm6.5 comes ontop of the
s2u2. when the ends the same thing happens but reversed. the wm shuts down and i can see the s2u2 screen for a second and then it disappears.
i've uninstalled BSBtweaks and CHTeditor cause i thouhgt maybe that's the problem. but no. still the same. even reinstalled s2u2. same thing.
maybe i should do a hard reset? can anyone point me to how to do it. it still doesn't promises resolts but i'm willing to try anything. i realy like the way
s2u2 "supose" to show the caller. i say "suppose" cause i haven't realy seen it or worked with it...
thanks for any reply...
I would recommend you turn off Caller-ID in S2U2, I have been doing this as the Sense Caller ID screen works in much the same way and offers like capabilities. Once you have turned off S2U2 Caller-ID, all should work perfectly!
yeah but
i really like a big full screen caller id. and with the s2u2 lock screen it seemed perfect...
So I would say you either go pretty or working, your choice... mine was for working
I have an issue also, when pressing the back button, it trigger volumn rocker button...any solution to this???

Phone screen after loading stock 3.14

I had a good look around before posting this thread, so if it's a duplicate, apologies.
I flashed the stock 3.14 ROM for Vodafone HD2 and I'm pretty happy with it, except the phone screen doesn't work properly. Everything else seems to be ok, and I like the extra buttons the new ROM provides on the phone screen, but when I make a call, the screen freezes so I can't use the keypad or the end call button. Is there a fix for this please?
Thanks in advance, as always!
A
maybe bsb
There is a setting in bsb tweaks that caused this on my phone...was "tap time" i think...took a ton of searching there is so much here on this great site...anyway i had to turn that setting off, and it fixed it instantly...before that nothing on the touch screen during a call would work...i think tap time was it, if it wasnt that it was one of the other settings in BSB...good luck
edit--from what i understand it is just a registry tweak, to prevent accidental clicking on links....it could be the current registry value you have set if you dont have bsb installed.
Just tried the BSB fix - it works, thanks!!!
Same here. I am sure glad that I found this thread!
I have noticed the onscreen end call button not working for a couple of weeks. As the other poster, inconvenient, but not a disaster, as I could use the physical end button to end the call. I wondered though, if something was wrong with my touch screen?
Then today, while on a call where you hae to choose from the damn menus, I pressed the onscreen keypad button, and nothing happened. I could not figure out any alternative way to open the keypad, so I could not complete the call.
When I got home, I first tried a Google web search, could not find an answer. But a search on XDA brought me here. Great to find this thread. Unchecked that option in BSB, rebooted, made a call, the keypad and end button work.
Now the question is--has anyone notified the folks who make BSB Tweaks, about this problem. If it is a problem that occurs with many phones, they should perhaps remove that option. If it is only a problem with HD2, and others find the option useful, there should be a warning that pops up, about problems with that option on the HD2.
It should probably be in the thread about BSB Tweaks as well, to warn HD2 users from checking that option. Has that been done already?
Sorry to be such a novice but what is BSB?

BsB Tweaks is a tweak app for Windows Mobile as is Touch Tools. Touch Tools is more spacific to the HD2 though. Go to HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 themes & apps forum and do a search for them, you will be glad uou did.
