hi,
my PDA is not ringing or vibrating during incoming call.
only the small phone icon is displayed in the top bar when someone is calling me. Today screen remains unchanged, no ringtone, no vibration *regardless* of the settings. Tried everything. I can only hear a subtle ringing in my BT headset. So I need to walk all day with the stupid device in my ear
I am using HTC TyTN English qwerty, with SPB software suite, Polish localization pack, Voice Command 1.6, latest ROM at a few other software marvels, headset is BT Akono HBH-600 (previously used flawlessly with SE P910i). The problem persists from the very beginning, from the clear phone itself.
Help / guides appreciated. I may have overlooked one vital option, the problem is I am positive I've crosschecked everything and looked everywhere.
ps Thanks for running this forum. It is a marvellous help and support, peacemaking source of strict and practical information. Respect!
My guess is that you have closed the phone (as opposed to just minimize it). Set your Task Manager to minimize the phone instead of closing and you should be okay (at least that was my problem)...
thanks, but no luck!
Firstly, I miss Task Manager. What I have in a list of running programs in Memory applet of Settings. Suprisingly, Phone application is not there! Even if it is running, not closed.
Secondly, even when I bring up Phone app with keyboard and everything, and call my PDA, there is still no reaction on the screen (except for mentioned little handset icon in the top bar near the signal meter). And no ringtone.
May this be caused by a Bluetooth device?
Ah, I also use PhonePlus application but it is only a dialing pad.
EDIT: just downloaded Task Manager 2.3 by FdcSoft.
Phone is not running as Process, but in Applications tab there are four occurences!
It is not present in Services.
I am really confused.
EDIT2: for the sake of investigation I reset my phone to factory settings. Incoming calls work OK: buzz, ringtone, white window displayed. So it is a software problem. In was wrong in initial post that the clean phone has a problem. Now restoring to start uninstalling programs, will keep reporting.

As far as I know it is an application, not a process. It's just an "add-on application" which makes it the "Phone Edition" of Windows Mobile 5. But I've been wrong before...
I use Magic Button and had to set the "Phone" to "Keep alive", and I have to be carefull to not close it using AEButton Plus...
solved
Spent virtually half night last night uinstalling app by app, resetting and making test calls. The offending application turned out to be Paragon Language Extender. (designed for Qtek 9100, that is right).
My phone is ringing now, thank you for your interest and time spent on this thread I had to reinstall everything back again, but I gained some experience!

FOR EVERYBODY'S INFORMATION:
I had same problem on my HTC TyTN:
I had a Russian ROM with all applications been localized to Russian language. I dislike to use localized software because the terminology of all system setting and even Excel/Word functions becomes too difficult to be understood. - It bothered me so much so I tried to find how to disable it (but without using re-flashing to English ROM) and accidentally found that ___a Russian language localisation can be disabled___ by making changes to top some keys named MUI under HKCU, HKLM. I succesfully delocalized the system, BUT incoming calls notifications stopped working - with the symptoms similar to the above. ... I did not found the way out except for restoring my Russian language pack (MUI) again...
It seems that the problem with this notifications relate somehow to the system language interface. If someone knows haw such a problem can be solved except for using default language - it would be perfect.
Like most of you out there. I was very frustrate with the available version of Microsoft Voice Command because it doesn't seem to work properly on the Diamond. I played around with it for a few days and found a mod that allow it to work, but it doesn't seem to work for other who read my post. So these last few day I been doing hunting only. I happen to find a very new release of Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 Build 1.6.9213 that was design to work with Window mobile 6.1.
Here is the link.
http://www.ipmart-forum.com/showthread.php?t=274611
This version of Voice Command will install properly on your Diamond and save you all the trouble of Modding.
Also, for those of you who criticize me so much, I'm not doing this for money or anything, just try to help the community.
Love more, don't hate
Well, now you can all finally throw away that junk Cyperon Speech Commander and have a good night of sleep.
Also, I check Dutty ROM 1.8. He seem to have version 1.6.9965 which seem to be very new. I been trying to hunt this version down but with no luck. Hopefully Dutty will unlock his ROM someday so I can extract it for everyone.
is this the one currently enabled on Dutty's Rom v1.8?

Well, well. Isn't it a lucky day for you folks out there. I finally got XDA MSVC_US_PPC 1.6.19209 (this is the latest version of Microsoft Voice Command) to work on HTC touch diamond!!!!
First of all how and where to get it (search engine...hint torrent)
Installation instruction.
1. After you got the Cab file, move it to your phone and run it from there
2. Installation is going to be complete with an error...
3. Press ok and close installation window.
4. use File Explorer to navigate to the Programfile/VoiceCommand
5. Copy the file called "voicecmd.exe" (hint: the one with the icon)
6. Navigate to MyDevice/Window/Startmenu/Program
7. Then tab and hold the sreen and paste as short cut there. Now you would be able to run MSVC 1.6 from the programs menu
8. You can now go to setting, and change the press long call button to use "voicecmd"
9. And voila, there you have it. Perfectly working MSVC
Here are the additional steps to make it work with your bluetooth headset.( also the credit in the bluetooth session belong to tommatt who make the first discovery of the solution)
- set HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateWay -> SupportCLI to 1
- set HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand -> VoiceCmdEnable to 1
- Made a Softreset
Well, now you can all finally throw away that junk Cyperon Speech Commander and have a good night of sleep.

What is the exact error message you get under the installation??
I'm planing to modify the cab to work "out of the box" for the Diamond, but I don't have my phone here so I cant test the cab myself.
Duttys
I'm using the one on Duttys ROM and its pretty wicked
I expected it to be a bit naf but its just very good and practical too.

silly question but what does it do, the voice command that is?
allsorts
It allows you to call any contact by speaking into a headset or at the phone
f ex "call david smith" and it will ask you if you want to call his landline or mobile and you can confirm.
it allows you to launch any program..
f ex "open tomtom navigator" starts tomtom ...
allows you to play music.. list appointments..etc etc and all this with no 'voice training'
This page shows you what can be done with it

How do I enable a Long press on my handfree cable? Something like Ceb commander, it will activate the program when I had a long press on the handfree set

I beleive VC 1.6 comes on all WM6.1 ROMs now, if not HTC has been providing them for me in their ROMs. They have always worked well even over Bluetooh except on TI OMAPI devices.
This maybe helpful though for people with WM5 and older.

Wow, that is great news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've got it working and it works pretty good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, you are a hero with interpunction!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean, one exclamation mark wouldn't have done it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Voice Command is assigned to the "Hold" button... which is the "Hold" button anyway?
I have tried to press every button, but nothing happens...
Voice commander didn't work for me. When installation starts i get an error and installation does not create Programfile/VoiceCommand. May be my ROM is the problem?
Thanks
ROM 1.93.405.1WWE HTC Diamond
This is so crap. First I installed ms voice command and of course it wasnt good for me because names are in romanian and it only recognizez english names.
I modified something and now i cant get the original voice dialler to work with my bluetooth
My voice command works just fine with my Jawbone and Diamond CDMA
German Version
Hi.
I have installed the cab without any errors and it works fine. But it will be better for me to have a german version. It´s not so easy to pronounce the german last names in english. It would be nice, if someone could tell me, where to get a german version.
Thanks

Can anybody help me to do this to have regular wm interface on my HD2?
Thank you,
Igor
Start -> Settings -> Right Softkey -> More.. -> Today -> Items
Many thanks!
If the usual Settings aren't reachable, in the settings tab of Sense rechter Softkey und dann More.
I need to completely disable Sense without flashing new ROM (I plan to flash custom ROM in 2-3 months, but not now), especially the phone app. I'm using Inesoft Address Book and sometimes it doesn't start and I'm forced to use the default installed crap . It's lovely during the call when you are in hurry and an application you know nothing about is waiting for your commands.
I have the 1.66 WWE stock ROM.
Need to completely disable HD2 user interface
Similar problem. I have the stock HD2 and I would prefer having the WM 6.5 user interface.
Let me clarify, I want the whole HTC HD2 user interface reverted back to WM 6.5 and not only the Today's Screen.
Is that even possible without getting a new ROM.
I have very little experience and time and don't feel comfortable playing around with flashing the ROM and radio.
Thanks in advance.
in the same menu where you uncheck HTC Sense
scroll up and enable Windows Default and soft reset
it uses the default windows applications which i find to actually be quite usable and much faster
Is there a default WM6.5 messaging program? I disabled Sense, but it still uses the HTC Messages program for my texts.
ace07 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556614
As always, there is a catch.
Thanks. This is very helpful. Sense does not set messages as read and causes many extra clicks to get to the right place...
Switch to windows default, the lesser evil one between Sense and Windows.
Right Softkey ??? Where... i don't see it.. help please

a soft key refers to the bottom of the screen, there are typically 2-3 "buttons..."
let me explain differently, don't look for a physical button, just look in the bottom right corner of your screen, you'll see the word MORE (once in settings) click it, you've just hit a "soft key"
I have a kumar ROM, I can't find where to disable sense. I need to disable to install the new messaging client. Anyone know where I can find it? It's not in the all settings section.
This is single handedly the best thing I have done to my HD2. This phone has come alive! Thanks for the how-to!
HD2 unresponsive screen want sense removed but how?
Hello all!
Hopefully, I am asking this question at the right place...
I sort of stumbled upon an apparently new (i.e. in excellent condition, no scratches, etc, almost like new) HD2 which will boot but brings me to a non responding touch screen. The hard keys work, I can even receive a phone call BUT I cannot use the touch screen which is unresponsive. Someone at work that I asked told me he just does not have the time to spend trying to fix it for me (even for a fee) but supposedly it is the HTC Sense feature that messes things up. He adviced me to remove sense and try the old fashioned windows look.
I want to try to remove sense but how can I do that when the screen does not work? The phone is recognized and syncs fine when I connect it to my PC using Windows Mobile Device Center. Is there a utility that will allow me from inside my PC's windows to disable "sense" on the HD2?
By reading this thread, it appears that the HD2 works better without it anyway! (and quite frankly I have no idea what sense is or what it is for, some kind of UI maybe?)
Thank you.
if it's software related then do hard reset or flash another ROM
Hi Everyone,
Found this great site looking for forums for the HD2, seems every other leads to here in some way another.
Got my HD2 on Monday with Virgin, so in 5 days I've come to find it an amazing piece of kit yet ultimately annoyed.
I've already got a list of problems and annoyances:
Having to double tap and go into the email fully so it appears read
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
When using the 'phone' keypad it types in numbers
The phone screen basically crashing so when you press a button it doesn't show the unlock screen. Thus having to take the cover off then the back, then the battery
Pressing the x in the corner of an app yet going to task manager and its still open
The over sensitivity when typing a text and showing words that don't make sense in the predictive text
Having to f**k about for ages to get wi-fi off grrr!
Having to install 3.5 compact .net. I still don't know how to do it
I understand there is a cab for the text and app for the wi-fi but surely it shouldn't be like this. I'm not a technophobe or whatever you want to call one and like to think I'm pretty clued up on tech, (That's why I bought the phone) yet I haven't a clue what a ROM does nor how to install them. I can just cope with cabs ha.
It seems Windows/HTC slogan should be 'There's a cab for that'. (not good)
Anyway rant over and Hello! I'm sure I'll be doing more learning over the next few weeks!

not to worry mate, this community is all about sharing and helping each other.
Hi there. I'll try to give you more "readable" info about the issues you mentioned. I'll just change the order of the questions...
Having to install 3.5 compact .net. I still don't know how to do it
You can use the official Microsoft link provided by 27firesnake, but you'll have to do some reading... The simplest way is to download a cab and install it directly on your phone. You'll fine one here (item #18). You should do this first, as many great applications (including BsB Tweak) need this system component in order to work!
I haven't a clue what a ROM does nor how to install them
Well a ROM is basically your operating system (Windows Mobile) + HTC Sense (homepage and tabs). You are currently an official RO (usually called "stock ROM" in this forum). What we need to know is what version you use? Most likely 1.43 or 1.48, which are not the latest from HTC. The most recent released ROM is 1.66 and runs smoother and might give you better experience overall, even though there no major updates (just a compilation of fixes). Anyway, some people manage to get "not yet released official ROMs" (usually called "leaked ROM") and are able to install them on their devices. The latest leaked ROM is 2.07 (that should appear on the T-Mobile HD2). Anyway, I would not recommend installing a leaked or cooked ROM for the moment, since you're still a newbie and just received your device...
Simpler answer: you should install the official ROM 1.66. Try to go on the official HTC website to do so. If your serial number is rejected, you should contact your carrier (Virgin) to know when you'll be able to download it. People here will advice you to install HSPL to be able to bypass this protection, but as I said, you should wait a bit more, when you know Windows Mobile more. To learn more about that subject, go to the link in my signature.
Having to double tap and go into the email fully so it appears read
Well this doesn't seem to be a problem, or I don't understand? The email appearing in the Mail tab are just "previews" of your email and you should tap to get in the "real" e-mail application to read them fully.
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
I don't understand. You're not able to answer to a text-SMS ?
When using the 'phone' keypad it types in numbers
Again, this doesn't appear like a problem. I mean, you should compose phone numbers when in the phone application. If you write the beginning of a number, you'll automatically see the contacts whose number begin that way. Anyway, if you prefer, you can use the People tab (then "All People") to choose a contact typing the first letter (instead of phone number).
The phone screen basically crashing so when you press a button it doesn't show the unlock screen.
Is it real crashes or just freeze? I mean, I you wait for a long time, like 1 to 5 minutes, the lockscreen doesn't come back? Many people, including myself, reported some freezes from time to time, but the new ROM 1.66 really improved thing on my side. You might look for this thread for more and this one too.
Pressing the x in the corner of an app yet going to task manager and its still open
OK, this is easy to solve. Just install the "Duttys HTC Task Manager". It will install a task manager and enable the closing of any application using the cross. You can find the cab here (tip #7).
The over sensitivity when typing a text
The latest ROM 1.66 decreases the sensitivity of the touchscreen. If you can't install it, the easy way to solve this is to install the (very recommended) tweaking application called "BsB tweak". There are a lot of simple tweaks you can ON/OFF. One of these is called "decrease sensitivity" or something like that. If it's still too sensitive, then you can install the fixes found here. Just to be sure you don't have a flawed unit, check if you touchscreen has the following problems (go see the youtube videos too).
showing words that don't make sense in the predictive text
I don't have answers for that one, but I know the predictive is not the best on this mobile. You have two options:
1 - improve your typing thanks to the less sensitive touchscreen (if you make less errors, the prediction will be more accurate )
2 - install an alternative keyboard like Touchpal or maybe Swipe...
Having to f**k about for ages to get wi-fi off grrr!
Well, there are numerous ways to solve this issue.
- you can install a shortcut on you home page for the (already installed) "Comm Manager". Comm Manager is already installed and was designed for you: it is a collection of ON/OFF switchers (wifi, bluetooth etc).
- you can install an application that simply switch wifi ON/OFF. Then you install a shortcut on your home page, so you simply tap it to enable or disable wifi. You can find an application like that here (along with a lot other more)
Hope this long post helps
Smaberg's WiFi toggle cab (sticky in the apps and themes section) is a godsend (as is the BT Toggle cab). I have the 20 shortcuts cab installed so that on the top row I have shortcuts to each of these on the homescreen, along with my two most used apps and main contact (girlfriend).
BSB tweaks is definitely recommended also.
When you type a name into the Phone dialler, it may show numbers, but it narrows your options by alpha, so providing you can spell the name you're after it works just fine. You'd have to have triple tap letter selection there otherwise, which is just far less efficient than whats on offer.
guy .. i have experience something in my device .. i was wondering why my device keep pop out the error msg like service.exe and the device.exe ..
it is quite annoying because everytime pop out those error msg .. i have to open the back cover and soft reset it .. it is very serious .. happened everyday for 3 to 5 times ..
Tapping to reply to a text yet nothing happens
Yeh, you have to wait (if lots of messages) for it to load above. You can see this by the scroll bar on the right becomming shorter.
Once it has finished loading those messages, you can tap and it will start composing.
But if you tap before those messages have loaded; it does nothing.
Hi Guys,
I have a problem with my hd2. When I have a voicemail message or when I call a servicenumber I must choose an option like "press 1 or press 2" At that moment there is no keyboard available on my touchscreen. This is a real problem because I can't listen or delete voicemailmessages. I contacted HTC but there was no solution. I hope that someone can help me with this, I like my HD2 a lot.
Thank You!!

Can you not open the keyboard with the little pull down tab
when in a call ?
Thanks for your response. When I slide it down for options it doesnt contain 'show keyboard' or something similar.
It is a big problem for me and I think that I'm not only one with this problem.
Very strange....
Can you recall when this started happening,was it like this from
new or only when you installed a modification of some sort ?
All info will help those more knowledgeable than me to assist you.
I have my hd2 for a month now. I have the problem since the beginning with the original HTC-rom (NL). Later on I have installed cookie home tab but that is not the problem.
You also own a HD2, can you get a keyboard during your calls?

Yes,my keyboard and other options,Speaker phone etc are available to me via the pull down tab during calls.
Have you tried changing the keyboard in the advance settings? I have encountered this before, i'm using EnergyRom. Then i did go to the advance settings and search for the phone settings then dialpad then i just use the default dialpad. I can't remember exactly because I'm using a different ROM as of today. Just try to look in the advance settings for the dialpad. Sorry if i can't help you directly mate. I will try to research this to help you.
