[Q] Random Keyboard problem: physical or touch? - Quantum General

While I'm typing a text or email, my LG Quantum will randomly exit the text field.
For example, if I'm typing on my physical keyboard, the bar with the paste icon disappears as if I hit "BACK" when I really didn't.
Is this a hardware issue? Has anyone had a similar problem?

I think there was an update that fixed this issue. Its software, not hardware.

Update? For the Quantum? I have the most current version...

I see you're on ATT. As far as I've heard, they have not released the latest update for windows phones. Chances are pretty good that you don't have the latest update unless you used a work around.
Latest version of wp7 is 7.1.8107.79 which applies the missing keyboard fix.
My guess is you're still two updates behind and have 7.1.7720.69
You can thank ATT for that.
If you do have 8107 then your problem beats the hell outta me.

You can send the updates manually. Those updates are provided in cab files.
You can find more about it in this post:

I took my Quantum out of its box for the first time in months yesterday, turned it on, and immediately got the notice for an update. Went through the 7740 update, and the 8107 popped up right away and started installing. So AT&T has it out, but I'm not sure when it shipped.

VsNotepad - Virtual Spaghetti

Anyone managed to get VsNotepad 2.5 to work properly on Touch HD?
http://www.virtualspaghetti.com/index.php?index=30&language=en
When I run the demo on my TouchHD the stylus position and what I draw are not aligned? (Approx 1/4 of the screen width and height out)
Software does say its 480x800 compatible, even mentions the Touch HD. (I've run the setup and put the settings to forced, but I still get the aligment issue.) Reported it to the creators, but wondered if Im alone in this issue?

No, you are not alone. I have the exact same problem, even though their website says it works in WVGA mode, it doesn't. I've sent them two emails in the past week and so far, no response. Makes me wonder why I bother paying for software...

Not heard anything from VS yet... I keep checking the website...
I found this App so useful on my Kaiser, really missing it now on my THD
There is an updated Version now! I installed it and it works now. Problem for me, it looks so blury. Is this normal?

Where did you download it from? I can see it has been updated to 2.51, but when downloaded it appears as version 2.5 with the same symptom on my device!
I will check whether there are traces from previous install in the registry.

I have downloaded the 'official' version from their website and it does not work. It appears to be the exact same file I already have (it's the same size). It appears that they may not have updated their web links or have linked the file incorrectly. I have sent them an email.
they linked it wrongly.

One step at a time I guess!!
Has someone else noticed a dramaticly system slowdown after starting VsNotepad? Ending the program doesn´t solve the problem, only softreset does. You can notice the slowdown in TF3D or better in coreplay, which even stopps working.
If you have the same problem, is there a really gote alternative for VsNotepad?
Just to notice:
Softreset isn´t demanded if you close the app. in the app and not via taskmanager. That way I can live with the slowdown when the app is running.

Update for HTC Touch Diamond2 for Caller ID Display

"This update for the HTC Touch Diamond2 lets you, your friends and loved ones become closer, making receiving calls as personal as greeting them in person"
What exactly does this hotfix do? anybody knows?
This update can only be applied to ROM version 1.75.xxx.x, otherwise the update will fail

I have the original rom, version 1,39,413,0 (4738)

So I´m not able to update ?
Is it country specific or what?
I use TESS rom with rom version 1.75 WWE, so this should work on my topaz. But I wonder what it really does

Maybe you should update your ROM before patching .... ??
Latest official Swedish ROM is 1.39 so why htc puts the hot fix on their Swedish page I don't know. A bit confusing.
Just checked the Swedish htc site and they have removed the hot fix...
Same in europe site. Latest official 1.39.
Although, I am usin tess 2.2.1 which is 1.75
I installed the fix but no visual changes.
Hope to fix my issue, about not responding at incoming calls, every now and then, except lighting up the hardware buttons and changing the topbar icon fron antenna to phone icon.
No, it´s still there or back again
Weird...

If it is a fix for that issue I think it is a bit funny that they call it:

It's better from:

I'll just wait for the WM6.5 update in about a month.

Still no answer to what this hot fix does.
I am impressed, HTC is releasing a hot fix without telling what it does!!
i successfully installed this update but there is no difference between new and old caller staff, thing, whatever it is.
I think Caller ID Display is a function to select the persons to be able to see your number when you call?

Just edit the phonebook entries of the people who must not see your ID:
Add #31# before the number.
"This update can only be applied to ROM version 1.75.xxx.x, otherwise the update will fail."
What is this ROM versions 1.75.xxx? Cause in the Topaz Wiki there's no such version of Shipped ROM.
Bring on 6.5!!!
Anything new about this update?
On htc.com/europe is written:"This update can only be applied to ROM version 1.75.xxx.x or previous,...". So I guess...it is possible to update also ROMs 1.39...

New sms update htc

Morning all,
Just wanted to point out that today 14-01-10 there has been a new HTC SMS FIX rolled out from the website and its done the trick for me, sending/reci seems to be much better, loading of SMS threading now works still a bit slow but allows you to type a msg while it loads. I also had an issue where 'tap to start message' would not work on some contacts and this is fixed as well.
URL (Will not let me due to restrictions but the update is on the HTC site.)
Please let me know how you get on with this fix, *touch wood* one step closer to this phone being how it should have been out the box
Thanks,
Charles.
i havent seen any new updates in HTC europe..
Got it! Thanks for the heads up!
It's not on UK yet, but will keep checking! Thanks for the heads-up
Just installed. hopefully it will sort the problem
I can't find it. It should be for all countrys?
i saw the update on the south east asia site. perhaps those who cant find the update can download from there ? btw, do we needa uninstall the old htc sms patch ? weird.. i tried to install the hotfix, it says the hotfix is not compatible with ur device ! omgg

Chances are it's just a US update right now, and Europe etc will come later.
I don't mind - gives us a chance to use them as guinea pigs
by the way, those who have successfully installed the patch , do u guys have netcf 3.5 on ur phones ? jus wanna try locate whats causing the error . thanks !
Does anyone know if it corrects the problem when you press the 12# key the cursor jumps to the middle of the message?
Installed it, works fine. I never had the sms bug but this fix does seem to speed things up quite a bit. I did not uninstall the last hotfix, just installed it and done.
I do have the 3.5 framework installed

It does not fix this.. not on my phone.
I use the NLD 1.48 rom and it works fine.
I am using 3.5 NETCF
And i did not install the previous fix
and once it installs, it auto soft reset, go to the remove program is not there at all.
Not available yet for me. Will try once it is there.

True, its not in the list.. quite weird
The update installed fine for me (CF 3.5 and previous hotfix installed).
It seems to have caused "- GSM" to be appended to the end of every text that already existed on my phone (both sent and received), but not to any texts sent/received since applying the update (almost like they accidentally left some debug information in the fix, as with some of my longer texts it is appearing on top of the date/time). Anyone else see this?

Finally you can start typing a message while the list loads
Good update
I installed it on a UK vodafone branded phone over the previous sms fix and it worked fine.
It's right here!

"NEW SMS function update" 07/05/10 on UK-site!

Hi guys has anyone tried that update/hotfix? http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812
Is this actually a hotfix or is it again some Radio or sth. like that? I don't trust HTC's descriptions anymore...
Can't load it atm. BTW it is called "LEO_S00276-02.exe".
Cheers
EDIT: Can only load it from US-server, don't have any clue why...
EDIT2: it's around 15MB, so it should be for me again a radio... my mobile connection is awful, so I need still some time to load it...
EDIT3: it's not a RADIO...
It was released 5 months ago, you can be sure that people here have tried it
I have no idea what it did when I ran it. Honestly, no idea, nothing changed
There are already threads with this discussed.
My advice is to remove the HTC messaging app completely.

That is a new file name. I do not recognise it. I have the released HTC Messaging 1.8 from this forum, and eventhough the MMS doesnt work properly I dont fancy deploying a new and official update LOL.

I mean... when I try to install it says NOT COMPATIBLE WITH YOUR DEVICE
installed but dunno what iy has done
i downloaded it and not sure what it has done apart from take up 15mb of my phone storage, the lag is still the and the silly high light thing is still there, come on htc sort it out the only prob with our top end phone is the txting
HTC seem to be chaning a lot of dates on already submitted hotfxes lately it seems...
Well, but it should be new. I unpacked the EXE with WinRAR and there are lots of files edited within June, the latest edit was on June 26th. And the XML within clearly sais that there are lots of files replaced containing HTC messaging.
I only have 8Mb of internal storage left so I guess this update isn't for me, whether or not it's actually for the HD2 or not. It's strange, but I have the same applications installed on my iPAQ 214 and have many time as much on-board storage left. I suppose I'll have to wait for the next ROM update (laughs maniacally.)
Whatever, this is probably just another one of HTC's one day wonders. There have been other updates that have disappeared within a few days of appearing.

Oh! I thought you meant MY device, not yours.
Hi,
I have the same update appearing under the French HD2 support page. The file is named _HTC HD2_LEO_S00276-02 and has a digital signature from June 25th.
Anyway, if it doesn't help with the lag, installing it would be useless.
Edit : There you go, it disappeared.

[Q] Anyone with a TMOUS DVP get the 7740 update?

auto download the update cab
use xboxmod cab update progam to update phone to 7740 and the most current update.
It's rather painless

I do believe that its simple enough, however do you know if there is a tutorial around that would make it very easy?
7740 fixes some bugs for European users and Asian users as well as a Exchange 2003 bug with replying. If you dont fall into either of those then you really dont need this update.

Has anyone tried pushing 8107 with the cab-sender yet? I've found a couple of articles that says it works for most phones (I have learned that the DVP is quite unique though)

If your physical keyboard is disapearing you have bigger issues
Just received two replacements from Dell w/the same specs. Upon syncing, one immediately updated, the other remains on 7720. Go figure. Noticed nothing different on the 7740 unit, however.
