please help
I have updated the fix for the camera, but now my xda has gone mad.
it keeps opening my text messages and internet explorer, every couple of seconds, my sync isnt working either, need to know how to revert back to the previous settings.
I can live without the camera and record buttons working but cannot live with it opening programs every thirty seconds

I'm sorry to hear that, you're the first reporting that kind of problem!
Anyway, just remove the entry HKLM/Services/CamRecSvc in the registry and do a soft reset.
Cheers
Don't know how
Sorry DotFred you are talking to a newbie, don't know how to change a registry entry, I have trawled through the forums but to no avail, can you either let me know how to do it or point me in the direction of where to find out.

Ok no prob. Denise,
Here is a little app. that you have to launch on your ppc, it will remove the camrecsvc service.
Cheers

ps.: can you tell me what version of himalaya and the OS you're using ?
Thanks
Hi Fred,
you forgot to attach the fix, but it's no matter last night i trawled through the site and finally found the how to for my XDA its a XDAIIs which I belive is a Blue Angel, I have now managed to get a registy editor and have deleted the files but it has not solved my problem.
The problem I am experiencing is as if a button is stuck and it keeps opening Text messages and IE constantly.
I am using OS WM2005, can't find where the about button is to find the version.

What fix, the uninstall_camrecsvc.exe removes the camrecsvc.dll from the ppc and deletes the related keys from the registry.
And yes, if you have a BlueAngel, it won't work (go here and you will know which ppc you have http://wiki.xda-developers.com/). I don't check the type of ppc, and maybe it's a good idea to add that to the service.
Anyway, you seem to say that the problem remains even after the deinstallation of the service, am I right ? Are you sure the service has been removed. Do you have a file called /Windows/CamRecSvc.dll ?
Otherwise I don't think you have a lot of choices.
I would try a hard reset first and clean the registry.
If you have an himalaya:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> NO
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
If you have a BlueAngel, just find somewhere here how to do a hard reset.
ps.: before doing this, I suggest you to do a backup of your pim and important files first in case you make a mistake at some stage.
If the problem still persists. Then I would suggest a reflash of the OS.
Cheers and good luck,
.Fred
Thank GOD!!!
Hi Fred,
Thanks for that, played about with it for a bit and reinstalled the fix and got a different registry editor, deleted the dll again and it seem to work.
only issue i have now is when in sync it asks me for server IP address, i have seen a forum for sorting this.
thanks again and that will teach me to just do an update without checking what device i have!
Cheers

Hi Dotfred, after installing the downloaded file, the buttons respond perfectly. But the camera button takes me to MY PICTURES. Am expecting to see the camera icon there but vanished. I went to the program files to call the camera from there but I get the same problem. Am using 2.0

Just create a new Text document on your pc and open it with notepad
type this:
40#:MSCAMERA?shellres.dll,-8263
rename it:
camera.lnk
And save it on your ppc here:
/Windows/AppButtons
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: if the camera app is not launched then there is a bug or something different in that ROM
hi dotfred, unfortunately I have hard reset my phone and everything is normal now. The buttons are working perfectly with your application . Thanx and keep up the with the spirit of the forum. GREAT WORK!
hi guys...
just recently..ive upgraded to tofclock 2.01a.64wwe...and has the camera button function...but after i installed IA software..camera button dont work anymore...
then i installed your set up and still no luck....
thanks...
hi DotFred.
You made a hell of a job by doing this.Thanks a lot, only.... the green-red lights still are dark at my Qtek2020 with tofclock's 2.01a.64wwe, radio 1.17
I copied the .exe to my device and started it, gave a soft reset but no lights. The HW buttons are ok (great!) Am I doing something wrong?
problem solved: I used the wrong version of camrecsvc.dll.
After copying the wright one (2.1.0.1) to windows\ and restarted the program is was ok. Thanks .Fred for the excellent program.

Just check if the camrecsvc.dll is started.
Some people said that the setup doesn't work on their hima.
So they had to do the installation/upgrade manually.
Read the related posts on buzzdev.net, you will probably find the answer.

Thanks DotFred,
you solved my problem about camera / record non working buttons
Thnaks again!
Buttons work & leds are shining after install, but this features don't work after soft reset. Help please. c-shekhar WM6.1

Run this .cab on your device. It will hide the carrier logo.
hi
thanks for your cab but
i tryed your file but it doesn't work.
I tryed this file also and it does not work . I have Vodafone logo . . .
Have you hidden the lookup field?
Left Soft Key, Menu->Preferences->Hide lookup field.
This needs to be ticked for this hack to work correctly.
I also had to uncheck/check the setting in the "today settings" to get ti to kick in.

Thank you, it does work fine .
thanks for the tip now it works.
This worked at first, right after the first soft reset it removed the Cingular name and bluetooth icon (after "hide lookup field"). But soon after my Treo locked up. Upon soft reset the Today screen was frozen, and the device was completely locked up. Soft reset again, same thing. Only way to fix was to hard reset.
Tried the patch again, same results, but this time upon the first soft reset it did the lock up right away.
Anybody else have this issue? I really want to remove the useless carrier, bluetooth since screen space is so limited, but this solution seems too evasive.
it seems that the hidelogo app also hides the date, even though i've enable the date to be displayed on the Today screen

hmmmm, me too. Anybody found a fix for this?
Hey, check this out... Maybe somebody already did.
Change [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ "Dial Lookup"\"Enabled"] to 0
Then you can re-enable the date in your today settings, the loss of course is the dial box, however, if while on the Today screen just start typing one of your contacts, a list that I've never seen comes up and you can just hit call!
Not sure I like the setup but it gives more real-estate on the Today Screen
I tried that. Still lost the date as well as the logo.
Had to put the logo back because I do want the date on the today screen....
It Works !!!
Just downloaded this little app - it works perfectly !
Great to recover that little piece of wasted real-estate from my tiny, crowded Treo screen.
Many thanks !
After installing that CAB the only part of my today screen that is visible it the 10 pixels high section where the carrier logo was. I can still scroll that tiny area down and see that all my other today info is there, but it only shows up in the 10 pixel window.
Ideas?
Hi BeastyLeo,
I just flashed the latest release and i'm having lots of trouble The rom looks great and i so badly want to use it, but dont knw if i'm jinxed or something :-/ Please help me!!!!
1. The incoming phone call graphics is all messed up. The caller's picture and the caller info gets rendered 20-30 pixels below the top of the notification box and the bottom section gets cut off...
2. All the applications running started to behave crazy after a while. WpTask was active, and this is what happened - The task icons used to appear on the top bar (for example Activesync's icon), but the text used to be missing. When i brought up the context menu by clicking and holding the task, the rollout menu didnt list the name of the task again! I had options like Close, Terminate (with no Task names next to it like it would normally appear), and I couldnt kill the tasks at all! Even after i went into default memory manager of wm6, i still couldnt end the tasks. Only option was a reset....
3. The back button in the phone app comes with the sound, and now that slows it down for some reason
thanks!!!!
San
Ohhhh.... this is realy weird
Did you install the ROM with default options, or did you change anything?
This is horrible!

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick response!
I didnt do anything with the rom before flashing. The only thing though, was i didnt flash the radio file as i have 1.15 and i find it stable. The Tasks problem keeps happening, i had to roll back now to one of your earlier versions which works fine though....
Thanks, and i really appreciate both your commitment and great work!
San
If it's that bad I will try to do a bug release in a view days.
My harddisk of my laptop crashed and currently I'm trying to recover the data first. I feel sorry for you and I hope I can fix it asap.
-I noticed a view things with initflashfiles.dat after I decompiled our own ROM.
-Also PocketCM I'm not realy happy with, I think I'm going to take that out.
-Office I changed for our previous one.
Well... I'm looking into it.
Cheers,
Leo

Hi, i have the same problem in phone operation so that i have to use another one. One thing still in dark: when finished uprom progress, i check phone with my Exec close position but it was hanged the screen very dark, have to SR the PDA again working. I don't understand why.
Hi all. Slowly battling through these annoyances.
I can't find anything about this on a search, but I'm sure I remember reading about it. Does anyone know how to stop the device returning to the Touchflo 3D home tab every time I wake the device up? It's annoying when it goes off when I'm writing a text message or in a call or listening to music and I have to navigate all the way back.
Also, is there a definate answer to the "screen off during call" thing? I guess I could live with it for now if I can fix the other problem.
Hi, this will not help you but just for your info: my TF3D doesn't return to the home tab after wake up... You have a branded phone?
mine does'nt either so the answer is to switch over to ROMeOS rom

Mine does it sometimes but usually a soft reset stops the return to home screen.
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I'm not bothered which tab it returns to, but say I have messaging open and the device falls asleep, when I wake it up it returns to the home screen so I have to navigate back to where I was. It's very annoying.
My unbranded 405 ROM TP does it and my gf's Orange branded Diamond does it.

Like i said, soft reset. Sometimes is could be a new bit of software you've installed, not much you can do about it unless you unistall it!
I've softresetted my device dozens of time's, I'm on ROMeOS but I have the same problem it doesn't stay in the app or folder where I left it, I have wondered about this. Others do to apparently, no help from me though

It's always done it, and my gf's diamond has always done it. It's definately a feature of the ROM and is highly annoying.
What about the option for returning to the today screen in the Today options? Try setting it to never and see if that fixes it for you.

That sounds just the trick, but where is this option?
Can't see it in in Start > settings > today
EDIT: found this on the Diamond forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409374
They have the same problem. the thing you suggested is for today timeout. It won't affect how locking takes me back to the today screen.
Come on guys, this is super annoying. Surely someone must have a solution?
I leant my phone to the singer in my band today as he was reading some lyrics from the internet for a cover song we're doing. He was going mad about it because the damned thing kept returning to the home screen mid-song.
I like the lock/autolock feature but I don't want it to go back to the home screen every time.

Hiya.
Longtime lurker, firsttime poster. I'm currently experiencing an issue with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2. I've had it for about a week now, and this problem seems to come and go. I'm using the stock ROM and TouchFlo3d; though I've also been playing around with the SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 (love the widgets!). Anywho, the issue (finally):
When I get a phone call, the callerID pops up and I have the slide-to-answer screen. I can either slide to the left or slide to the right (now dip, baby, dip) (sorry). When I slide to the left, most of the times the entire answer button turns green and the phone just keeps ringing. Like, I'm TRYING to answer it... but it won't let me! About 20% of the time, though, it slides successfully all the way over and I can then talk. But - again - most of the time it just turns green and I can't answer it. Even if I press the hard button on the lower left of the phone (the "phone" button).
Anyone have any ideas/suggestions/tips/tricks on how to fix this? With slide-out keyboards on a touch screen phone called the Touch Pro (2), it sure as hell is hard to google around for an answer! RTFM didn't help, either.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might be able to help me out, here.

Hi, a friend has the same device and had the same problem, he solved it by going to the site of HTC and get the updates and now the problem is gone, also is there already many rom update`s there to windows mobile 6.5
Succes,
Greetz from Holland
Thanks mate. Unfortunately, though - that didn't work. :\
In the download section at HTC's site, it states: "This update can only be applied to ROM version 1.20.xxx.x or previous, otherwise the update will fail."
I'm on ROM version 1.21.651.3.
I went ahead and tried to DL and install the CallerID Update - but it wouldn't install. I received the "This hotfix is not compatible with your device" error message.
Any other suggestions? Oh, btw FWIW - this runs Windows 6.1. 6.5 isn't yet available for the Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 (or so I hear). Thanks again!

Try this Site scroll to bottom of page,give your serial and see if you can download it,maybe you must unlock your CID first to install it
negative. Didn't like my serial number. Regardless, everything I've read so far has said you can't really upgrade a US/Sprint/CDMA HTC Touch Pro 2 to Windows Mobile 6.5.
*sigh*
If only the phone part of the phone worked... this would be one helluva phone!
Will see what i can do have a orginal wwe 6.5 (from htc site) for it, but i think you must unlock touch pro2 orelse it will say invalid vendor i will upload it today and put a link here
EDIT--you can download HERE the Wm 6.5 (download the 2 files,click the .exe) unpack and Happy Flashing...I Have NOT Flashed it,because i have no touchpro2
Greetz from Holland
I have the exact same problem
Anybody got this resolved yet? I am running wm6.5 stock rom from sprint on my touch pro 2...
I'm having the same issue with my stock 6.5 rom.
phone rings but sometimes either slide to answer and hard button answer does not work.
Since I have not found a answer to this I will be doing a hard reset to see if it fixes

Any luck? I still have this issue.
A mobile phone that won't answer calls....
... seems a lot like sex without orgasms...!
I have the Sprint HTC TouchPro2 with the stock ROM, no additionally software installed, and yawp! Maybe 15-20% of the time I am able to answer calls. Grrrrr. I've been an HTC user prettymuch from day one, and this is the *laggiest* and *buggiest* phone by far! Normally, I customize and flash ROMs like crazy, but I have *no* interest in doing so with this phone... it should work out of the box, and it simply doesn't.
I have insurance, and keep taking my brand new phones back to Sprint. They look at it, and tell me to come back in two days when they'll have a new phone for me - at least that part is hassle-free. :/ I am now on my FOURTH new phone - all with the same 'unable to answer calls' problem- slide to answer jst slides to the green and freezes there; trying to use the answer button (bottom left bottun on the face of the phone) doesn't work either, and a minute or so after pressing it, I get the message, "unable to open sendkey.exe" blahblahblah,*and* each0hone I've received has multiple other problems: severe lag and freezing, sometimes the screen goes black, or pixelated so you can't see anything, SMS won't open (using the winmo, not HTC SMS shell, even), etc., etc., ad naseum.
I figure this will keep happening until the WinMo7 phones arrive in January2011 (almost there, anyway, since it is now the end of December!), after which I can request one of those instead of this brick.
I've had to tell my friends and family to text me if they want to talk to me on the phone, and I'l ring them back.
(other things I *really* dislike about this phone are: no external camera button, no external internet browser button, no 'ok' button, no scroll buttons, no flash for the camera, oh hellz: the list goes on and on! And, really - I adore HTC... but! this is their crummiest phone by far....)
