Once upon a Time the Keyboard was a simple tool on The XDA to Enter letters into boxes, But then the dark Goblins came out and Started Fookin with it, Now the keyboard does the strangest of things. In Short My keyboard Plays up at least a couple of times a month! You know when you get that ickle box appear above the keyboard with suggestions to what your typing? Well it seems to be that this little box has issues, I have all the suggestions I'm Allowed to Have and very rarely but Annoying this thing happens, If I click a 'Suggestion' I can get anything from My start menu opening, To my phone turning off (Not reseting just standby) and a whole load of weird Things! Its like Its acting like a short cut. Maybe I should read what I'm clicking maybe the suggestion to 'ope...' that im typing was 'Open my Start Menu cause I'm trying to type...' or 'Clos...' giving up a Suggestion saying 'Close windows and send my text to Drafts because thats what you need when your in a hurry'. Have any of you guys had this Problem Cause It's Really weeeeing me orf.
Anyone else find this irritating? Each time I'm during a call, the screen goes blank. If I need to use the keypad or switch to speakerphone during a call, i first need to press the home key which turns on the screen, and then use any of the on-screen buttons. Even once the on-screen has been activated, and say I'm using the keypad, after few seconds the screen goes blank again, and I need to do it all over again...
Any way to get around this?
Yea its freaking annoying but i don't know of any solution for this. In the Raphel Tweaks thread many different things have been tried and failed so maybe something will come up soon enough
You can try tweak from Diamond forum - afair there was thread regarding this issue and some fix was provided.

yea i did try it. but it didnt work on the touch pro..
I'd be very interested in a solution for this too. Pretty annoying.
I would just like to bring this thread back to the surface, to see if anyone has had any luck with fixing this yet. Very Annoying bug...
NoSleep!!!.cab worked for me, searchsearchsearch... I think Shinobi made it, sorry if I'm wrong on that.
Hello,
I have a very strange problem with my HTC Touch Pro phone.
I'll explain my problem:
When you turn on your phone and you are on the "Home page" (the page where the time is displayed) there is a bar at the bottom of the display.
This bar says Phone and Programs.
When i access my volume control by using the 2 buttons on the left side of the phone a black screen appears with some bars on it to indicate the volume. Note that the black bar with the Phone and Programs buttons is gone!
But the problem is that i can slightly see the Phone and Programs text trough the black screen of the volume control...
The first time i turned on my phone it was clearly visible, but after hard-resetting my phone 3 times it seems to be all gone now.
What could have caused this problem? Are these texts burned into my screen or is my screen sensetive to white letters?
I really dont know what to think about it because it seems very strange to me that it is now gone after 3 hard-resets...
Does anyone know what may have caused this problem?
edit
When i still had the problem i checked out if the text that was visible on the volume screen was the actual text that should stand in the black bar on the bottom, but when i accessed the volume control from the Programs tab (notice that the menu bar then displays "All programs" and "Remove"), but the volume controll still displayed Phone and Programs, so it isn't the actual text that is visible, so it cant be something like a shine-trough or something like that.
Really dont know what to think, at this time 3x hard-resetting the phone helped and the texts aren't visible anymore, but i'm still worried that my screen is over-sensitive or maybe broken or something =\
edit
The text is getting visible again after having my phone on "stand by" for 10 minutes.
Does anyone has a solution or does anyone knows what the problem can be? i would like a awnser today because i could go the the store tomorrow, i may be able to switch it for a new one if the screen is really broken.
Hope someone knows more!
edit
Maybe some of you dont see it on your one Touch pro, but you will if you REALLY look close at the bottom left and right corner in your volume control screen.
Could it have something to do with lazy pixels or something?
edit
It seems to get worse when i have the phone and programs texts on my screen for 10 minutes, and then switch to volume management. Are my pixels lazy or something?
The longer the screen stays on with the Phone and Programs texts on and the icons of the menu etc, the more you see when you turn on volume control.
it just looks like it burns into my screen.
Take care! Maybe it burned into your eyes!
No, serious it cannot burn into your screen.
Only CRT screens can burn it, not TFT.
Hmm ok thats true haha,
But what else can cause such a problem... it is only visible if the phone is off stand by for a few minutes.
I had my phone on stand by the rest of this evening and just turned it on and now it is all gone again. But if i put my phone on the home screen for a few minutes, so with the texts, then its visible again on the volume controll screen
Had the phone on standby the whole night and now the texts are gone again.
They seem to get "burned" in somehow if the phone is off standby for a few minutes, but then when its on standby for a while they are gone again.
Just wanna know if more people have the same problem, or else i could send back my phone to HTC for a repair

Well that seems to be the problem over here...
But when i turned on the phone for the first time there was much more "image burning" on the screen, and at this moment it is all gone ...
Could it be that the screen had to "warm up" or something because the phone is just 2 days old. The longer i used the phone the less the image burning is now.
Do these screens have to warm up or something when you turn on the phone the first time?
They shouldn't... Especially if you bought it locally, I'd take the safe road and return it. I'm not sure if it's exactly what that source describes, but I don't like taking chances with phones as expensive as this.
Hmm ok, thats wierd because the more i used it the less burned in texts are visible.
at this point there is nothing visible on my screen anymore ..
isnt there ANYONE else here that has the same problem or that wants to try it out and leave the phone off standby for some time ?
Someone that has the same problem, or someone who wants to check their phone for the same problem?
I dont know if i should return my phone for a repair..
Problem is getting visibl again,
Have used my phone some time today, but i didnt have it off standby for longer than 1 minute, and still there is a white bar slightly visible on the volume controll screen.
This is definately a problem with the screen right? something like Lazy pixels or something..
Anyone that can help?
btw, its seems that only the white colors get burned in
edit
It only seems to get "Burned" in when i'm in a window with white bars or spaces, and it fades when i have the phone on a black screen for a while..
And it only happens with the HTC Volume app?
no, but its good visible on that screen, its also slightly visible on the home screen etc..
It doesn't only burn in when the phone is off standby, but it also seems to get worse when the phone is ON standby... what i mean is that it doesn't fade away right away when the phone is on standby...
Just went back to the store to get a new phone.
I checked right away if the new phone also has the same problem, and it does...
texts also seem to get burned in for a while on this new phone, but also dissapear when the phone is unused for a while...
Could you guys check your phone's if you have the same problem?
Just use it for a while and check the volume control window if there are images still slightly visible on the screen.
Hope someone can do that for me!
edit.
Could i be SO unlucky that i have had 2 phone's of 1 wrong production serie?
Can anyone please check out their phone for the same problem?
I would like to know if there are more people experiencing this problem so that i dont have to return my phone for the 4th time =)
also i have spotted this problem. but it happened just a few times when the phone was hot (using gps).
Mmm ok, and you had the problem the exact same as me ? visible on the volume control screen etc?
More people having this problem?
Would appriciate it if some more of you could check it out for me
It never happened on my Fuze, I think it might be a bad batch that your store got in. That could be why when you returned it you're seeing the same things, a lot of people with yellow spots in their screen returned theirs and got the same thing in the next one.
Hello guys, I have one raphael, and it started a very stupid issue, and this makes me crazy because in the principals times I need to use it, happens that the Panel wich have the answer button, the end button, the house and the back-arrow buttons also, and in the midle have the circular button, wich there are 4 mini arrows, (left,right,up,down), always I press the house and the answer buttons, it is working as left arrow, and the <- with the end button working as right arrow.
I always percepted it, but now it is happening all times, all times I need to press the answe button to go the phone it keeps working as the arrow, surfing on the tf3d.
I need the original configurations of the buttons, I cant persist with it, What should I do?
im pretty sure that bottom area gets messed up over time.
mine now only works with each area whenever it wants.
sometimes all work great.sometimes 3 do sometimes none.
my buddy had a fuze for about a week when the whole bottom panel stopped working for good
usually for me a soft reset helps
I made so much soft resets!
It doesnt work, do you think a hard reset?
What a hell could I do now?
oh my god
could anybody be helpful with me?
I'm needing this help
my fuze is stopping working as phone
that is not descriptive. what doesnt work
the panel
the four butttons on the panel
(house,back,call/answer, end)
It has started messing a long time, and now messed forever, I can make a soft reset than it keeps asking crazily these buttons, everytime as arrow left or arrow right
I need to configure the house as house
the phone(answer/call) as phone
the end call as end call!
basmareck, are you running a custom ROM?
I am running the official raphael's ROM, downloaded on the official website of HTC.
The error is in the panel, at the four buttons, the send/answer button is working as left arrow all the time.
It is messed up!
damnit!
no helps for me, its making me mad
its faulty. youve had it under a year right? get it fixed
Have you tried a hard reset or reflashing the stock rom? What about cleaning the panel? I believe there are only two buttons under that panel, one on the left and one on the right, and the function is dictated by the capacitative nature of it, so maybe it's dirty? I'd say if a hard reset or reflash doesn't fix it, try to seek a warranty exchange.
Also, are you using any programs that make the scroll whell work as something else like SensorScorll? That has a setting to enable touch so you wouldn't need to push down to use the arrows, maybe that got switched somehow to be persistant with everything? I'd give that a check too.
I have a Google Galaxy Nexus bought unlocked from Google about two weeks ago.
A few hours ago, I seem to have unintentionally locked myself by setting both a PIN and PUK. I was not aware that I was setting anything more than a 4 digit PIN. Whatever a PUK might be, is not explained in the manual printout here in front of me.
I was presented with a numeric keypad screen that wanted me to set (reset?) both. Across the top of the screen I was getting a marquee saying I needed a min of 8 characters and below that, a field for PIN and a field for PUK (it would have nice to at least once be told what that acronym stands for).
Cancel only just turns off the screen (not the phone). Same with OK.
So, I did power off. But when I turned power back on I get that same screen and the phone is locked.
So, I read the manual again. No real help on how to have avoided this or how to get out of this trouble.
I searched the net. I found instructions somewhere that told me I could do a factory rest that would loose all data, etc. Since I have only had this phone for a short while and done little to customize it, I could live with that. My mail, calendar and photos are synched to my desktop.
So, I followed the instruction for factory reset (and took note that the manual with this expensive device is no help with this important function nor does it give me a phone number for support. Shame on someone for that decision.)
1. power off
2. hold volume button
3. hold power button
That returned a screen with a large Anroid character, plus a large right facing arrow containing the word "Start" in the arrow. Beneath the android it says "Downloading. Do not turn off target!!" The double exclamation marks suggest this is to be obeyed.
Another aside to whoever designed this thing. the first rule of communication is, "The effectiveness and efficiency of any message is 100% the responsibility of the sender." The corollary to that is, do not use jargon or technical terms unless you include a definition.
So, what or who is a "target?" Other than a set of concentric cirles and the name of the place my wife buys Martha Stewart sheets , I know no other target.
BTW - if I am supposed to touch the arrow to launch something (and perhaps turn off the target?) it's a waste. After 15 minutes of no action, I touched it. Nothing happened.
So now I have a screen that tells me to not do something, leaving me with the fear of doing anything at all. And even if I should do something, like touch the Start, nothing happens. Now close to 1/2 hour has passed and the "downloading" message is unchanged. WTF is it downloading? Anything at all?
Do I now own a warm paperweight whose enigmmatic screen will go dark in a few hours?
Or can I do something that actually works?
Thank you for your patience in reading this. The book Alice In Wonderland was shorter and much more interesting.
Any useful suggestion will be appreciated.
update on stuck reset
After the phone sat here onm desk for a few hours, with that same screen and warning (do not close target). I picked up the phone to move it to the side.
When i grabbed it, I accidentally squeezed the power button. That ascreen wnet away and then it blinked back to the screen tthat wants the PUK and PIN.
Any idea wht to do from here?
As I said at the start, I am willing to do a factory reset. Obviously I do not know how.
Advice, please?
Easy.
