Hi,
edit: sorry, my english is very bad - I mean "volume buttons.."
after 2 weeks of working fine with my 750v the side buttons for loudness up and down on the left side of the Treo do not work anymore.
Now - when I press one of the both the battery status appears on the display - instead of the loudness dialog.
No chance anymore to contol the loudness.
I tried several soft resets, but the problem remains. I did not chance any tweaks.
Anyone an idea? Thanks.
Best Regards
Gerhard
I had this happen too...had to hard reset...I think it had something to do with SBP Pocket plus or another app with a today screen plug in.
They are controlled by the same dll which applies the ringtones, dialplugin and softkeys.
There is like a app which is always running an handles the extra bits palm add to the wm o/s
I made a backup with SPB. After the backup SPB performs a soft reset - after this the Treo works fine again. After the soft resets I made before nothing changed
Treo volume button
I have the same problem and I'm also using spb pocketplus but after a softreset the functionality came back again. And after a few days the same problem :-(
Anyways we'll have to live with it. For Now
There is a volume button fix

This seems to do the trick...Just put fixvolume.exe to your startup folder.
and it works ..
Yes, I tried it and it works fine.
Help Needed! Touch Keypad and keyboard returns numbers in "abc" and "XT9" mode
I need any help I can get on this! Thanks in advance.
I am not sure why, but suddenly my touch keypad and keyboard returns only numbers even when I am in "abc" and "XT9" mode. For example in "abc" mode, when I pressed the key "abc", it returns "2" when it should actually show "a". Same problem in "XT9".
Problem persists even when I soft reset a few times. I am not sure if this is due to one of these programs that I recently installed - (i) pocketcm, and (ii) opera 9.5 (extracted from one of this forum).
I use the touch keypad very often and would really like to get it working again. Does anyone know how this can be fixed (hopefully not a hard reset)?
Thanks a lot in advance
I had the same problem - it was driving me bonkers! I uninstalled PocketCM Keyboard, did a few soft resets and a power-off and the problem went away
Same problem here. I'm using Bepe 0.66. Soft-reset has fixed the problem so far, but it's annoying when it happens.
Same for me too. I uninstalled pocket CM Keyboard and three soft resets but still the same problem.

Try doing a power-off and on. That solved the problem for me. Doing a soft reset sometimes causes the phone to "lose" the installed microSD. Had to re-insert the card a couple of times for the phone to re-detect the card.
Bump
I have the same problem, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. No rhyme or reason. It seams to work if I switch to full keyboard and back again but that defeats the object... Any ideas?
Same for me
I've tried multiple soft resetS and power off/on, but nothing...
I've searched in registry, but I did'nt find something.
Please, help us if you can
what kinds of applications that you guys running when the XT9/abc problem exists? ( Phone application , notes or others? )

All text applications. For me the problem starts with upgrading of pcm keyboard to last version, 0.14. This one works normally, but HTC keyboards always type numbers. Once unistalled, everything comes ok.
The same problem here. I have also installed PCM Keyboard 0.14. Now I know it is a 'known' problem, I can go to sleep normally again ;-)
I hope someone finds a solution...... thank you in advance!
Any one any ideas on this one? I have the standard O2 ROM and its really starting to annoy me. Its really painful to have to get the stylus out every time to send a text!
Still no solution? anyone recommend a keypad that can be installed over the standard ones? and used with one hand of course...
Thanks
I got this problem yesterday. I hadn't read this thread, but had only installed face contacts, sms-chat and pcm keyboard since it had been working OK.
I had been using SIP change to make my selected SIP work, so I changed the selected SIP from PCM keyboard to ordinary keyboard.
I then uninstalled the three programmes. Then used S-K tools to find all traces of all of them and removed them manually. Also, deleted the folder in program files for PCM keyboard.
Then I soft reset by power off method. To my relief, Touch keyboard worked again.
Re-installed Face Contacts, everything still fine, re-installed sms-chat, everything fine.
Did not re-install pcm keyboard as I think that was the problem.
During all this, TouchPal still worked OK and there is a free version, so those who are still having problems could try using that until you get the other stuff to work again.
i had the same problem after installing a t9 dictionary.
i have the same problem too. the touch-keyboard works fine in all applications except the Opera for Windows Mobile browser and typing a www-adress with the stylus does not really funny.
i am thinking about installing the Resco Keyboard Pro (http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/keyboard/) but don't wanna pay $20 for a bug in the htc's software.
I got the same problem, with Opera Mobile...there I just can use the "normal" windows keyboard, not the HTC Touch keyboards, they ae just typing numbers...if anyone has a fix for this, I would be really happy...seems to me that the opera mobile still has some bugs, for me it does not show all "labels" (text in menu) correctly, so that sometimes there just I have <-123456789-> instead of the caption...
Has anyone got a solution for this yet?
I think there were a bug with one version of Opera Mobile 9.5. Installing the most recent release may solve the problem. Here is the latest version and some discussion about it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401643
Thanks for the reply but I don't have opera installed and never have. Whenever I use the touch keyboard or touch keypad it just inputs numbers.
I just experienced the same problem. I installed a english t9 dictionary file and after a soft reset the problem was there. After reading this thread I removed the english dictionary and the problem went away.
Hi guys
When I connect the phone with the usb cable activesync makes a BEEP every 5 minutes. I cannot find the registry key to disable this. Anyone know it?
BTW i'm trying to disable the BEEP when I press the red HANG key. I know the sound played is "dpadctl.mid" and I disable it on all the registry keys it appears, reset, and is still making that sound everytime i press that key.
It might help a little too if you told us what Phone Device you are using and what ROM/Radio you are using.
I don't think it helps too much since the registry keys for events are the same for all windows mobile phones with WM5 and WM6.
I got a TyTN (HERMES 200) with Super D-Lite ROM.
Please close thread.
I found the solution disabling the active sync sound. (well, that's more a workarround than a solution)
And for the HANG KEY i found more registry keys with the sound. I previously missed it cause i searched '\windows\dpadctl.mid' and not 'dpadctl.mid' directly.
I hope this is usefull for somebody.
Hey Man Im Having The Same Exact Problem On My T-Mobile Wing How Do I Disable That I Only Find That dpadctl Sound in Windows File Explorer windows/ Can You List A Step by Step to Disable It ?
Hey guys,
I'm clearly a newbie here, been so for sumtime trying to learn while looking for tweaks and solutions, and I've been trying not to post so that I don't stupidly ask answered questions but unfortunately I have a problem that I need urgent fix. I've tried to search but haven't found what I need.
So here it is:
When I receive calls, the caller id and number seemed to be crunched together and unreadable under 1 line instead of usual 3 or 4. So I cant see who is calling me or from which number. This is rather important for my business to decide who to ignore and who to address properly.
I hope somebody can help me fix this.
For added info, I have made few registry changes and the last ones involve changing soft keys 112 and 113, and also installing HTC action screen before this problem.
Thanks guys!
I've never heard of this problem occuring, but I would recommend you skip stright to it and hard reset your PDA.
Backup all your files by connecting your PDA to your computer and copying over all the files you want to backup.
To backup all your PIM data (appointments, contacts, messages, call logs, speed dials and tasks) use a program called PIM Backup - details of this program can be found on this thread - Click Here
To hard reset a HTC Polaris, insert your stylus into the softreset hole and press it whilst pressing the 'Windows' and 'OK' buttons. Let go of the buttons 1-2 seconds after taking out the stylus. The send button is the green pickup call button, which you will be required to press to confirm you want to go ahead with the hard reset.
Hope this helps
I was hoping I didn't need to resort to that but I guess if that's the quickest easiest way.
Thanks for your help!!
Btw, which buttons do you mean by "windows button" and "Ok button" ??
Sorry thats the only thing I can advise you to do, but at least you will know that its probably the second best thing to do (apart from re-flashing the ROM).
Regarding the 'Windows' and 'OK' buttons, it is my bad that you probably cannot find them - the XDA Orbit 2 has these buttons, but the HTC Polaris has the 'GPS' and 'Internet Explorer' buttons instead. Basically, they are the two buttons under the pickup and hangup buttons.
Attached is a picture which may help you further.
Hope you get this problem sorted out.
Suddenly on my Opal, the Send (green) button won't launch the keypad (dialer) even after doing many reboots.
WM6.1 user.
please help.
Well my obvious guess would be that the button is physically broken, otherwise, I haven't a clue
but i can still use it to answer calls... and my long press (assigned: rotate screen) is still functional.
after many wasted times of hard resetting and installing apps to trace what might have caused it, finally the keypad is back!
the culprit... Advanced Configuration Tool v3.3.
i'm still testing what setting in Advanced Config 3.3 that affects the green button...
oh well...
