Hardware keyboard problem: pressing s or h crashes phone - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

Hi all,
I've got a strange problem with my wizard:
When I'm pressing s or h on my hardware keyboard, pocket outlook crashes and the phone becomes extremly slow - in fact, it's unusable. Amazignly this only happens, when s or h are at the beginning of the sentence (as the first letter). All other letters are fine.
The problem came up a few days ago - but I don't know what I have changed in the meantime...
Im using TNT 11.0.2.0 ROM (WM 6.1).
Any idea?
Regards,
Rudi

Is it definitely at the start of the sentence only... or could it be when you haven't pressed another key for a while, wherever you are in the sentence?
There is the feature which runs send & receive when you press and hold S. I think H is help. There are other press and hold combinations too.
It is a long shot, but maybe it is related to that feature somehow? Maybe if that feature isn't working correctly it could cause the crashing whilst it tries to load that feature. In fact the first time it runs, it asks you to confirm a message telling you how it works. If that screen got to the back somehow, maybe outlook is left waiting for your input, but you can't input OK as it is behind the current visible screen.
Of course it might be something completely different....

I tought something similar but could not find out, which function will be startet pressing s or h.
So I did a hard reset and installed everything new, and after the hard reset, s and h work as they are supposed to do. This indicates, that some software I installed (and couldn't remember what software it was) installed a function which did not work properly.

Rudi

Help..Jasjar going into auto powersave and no response on button press.

Greetings,
I just upgraded to the 2.02.00 ROM last night but still have the occassional lockups. I need to do a soft reboot to get the phone to respond. I believe when it locks up, the radio is still running since I see the blinking Green LED for the GSM. I have to switch off the POWER MANAGEMENT option of "Turn off in x min in not used" for battery power to be able to use the device for calls. The only level of battery saving I am stuck with now is the Backlight auto-off and the beam settings.
Is this something others are having as well or are any applications the culprit?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Regards
BHAMEED

Try the power button
All buttons..including the power button...no response.
try holding down the power button
or setting the backlight to atleast one notch.
Urm... uh... ah.... eeee... aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.
I can confirm this behavior on my MDA Pro (G3).
All ROM versions the same like Bhameed's on my MDA, ...except bootloader of course.
Anyone else noticed this on 2.02.00?
Hold on, can you guys be more specific with this? Are you absolutely sure it doesn't come back on when you PRESS AND HOLD the power button??? Really sorry if I sound like I'm being pedantic, but just from what you've written it sounds like you don't know how to turn on the phone???
hahahaHAHAHA!!! awesome reply spyder
ok, yeah i was thinking this is an issue of not being able to turn on your phone.
yeah what's going on that was different from before?
There have been only few moments where you think "Surely not"... I hate those moments, I'm just hoping this isn't one of them! If it is a genuine problem it's pretty serious and needs to be addressed, but if not.... well, I don't think I should say much more
Please please please say this is all a big joke. I'm tired, please excuse me.
I confirm this behaviour!
And more!
My Qtek freezes... freezes... and then PUFFF. Dead.
I wait some minutes (30 minutes) and I can turn it on again.
I'll send it to qtek.
Mine has a thing sometimes where there will be a pause between pressing the power button and it coming to life... sometimes if I get impatient and press the power button again it will turn it back off before it's come on.
I don't really get it though. Does it freeze while it's still on, or while it's turned off? If it freezes when on, there's plenty of info about how to prevent freezes (mostly 3rd party apps + reg tweaks).
If it really does freeze when off, then please let us know anything more on the issue that you can.

Mine freezes everywhere. Bootscreen, Pin code menu (when u type your pin). It depends.
then pda doesn't turn on.
Many problems.
Just go to the assistance. :\
1.Sometimes it freezes while its on. For Instance I had program opened and then whenI tried pressing X to close nothing happened. I had to use the red hardware button to close. Wonder why.
2.I too agree while the phone boots and is searching for network, it takes very long, Meanwhile when the pin enter screen come up, unless the network is fully searched one cannot enter the sim pin code, it has few freezes. or at time the phone signal icon disappears on top bar and again you need to reset the phone.

Again, I don't have this problem for some reason... I get very few freezes at all.
I think we're getting away from the original point of the post though... and normal freezing is well documented in most OS threads with means to prevent it.
Same here...Confirmed. Tried all button combinations to get the display back (short presses and long ones), but then end up having to do a soft-reboot to finally get the phone to work properly....

And then you don't have other problems? Like freezes?
EDIT: I flash the original rom but the problem still here
I wonder if this could be a memory leak like someone suggested.... I'm sorry guys, I haven't experienced this problem, and I haven't seen any posts about it until this thread, is there any chance you guys with this issue can keep an eye over your memory status over say a couple of days to see if there's a leek and keep us posted? Once we find out what the problem is it should make a solution easier.
I experienced this problem as well using a cooked WM5 ROM on my HERM200 the only fix I found was migrating to another ROM. I'm currently using CUSTEL_Cing_v1.3, the battery life sucks but I love WM6, it is so much faster, I'm still tweaking and trying to resolve some other issues but other than that I am quite happy with it.
If you are experiencing the lockup I would suggest moving to another ROM as an option, that worked for me. Although a clean install usually fixes a lot of problems.

keyboard is not always working??

question
not all the keys on my htc s710's keyboard are working all the time. for instance the dot, the letter b and letter k do not always work. strangely enough, sometimes all the keys work for a while, and then for no apparent reason the same keys do not work anymore (always the same keys) i tried several roms, with all the problem exist. when i do a cold restart, and try the keys most of the times the will work for a while, but after a while they stop working. same if the power drops (battery drops below a certain percentage), the problem is more persistent and the keys fail more often than with a fully charged battery. i already checked the connection cable on the mainboard, that appears to be seated fine.
any idea's and suggestion (no warranty off course, since i opened it up myself)
Not working
Ive got same problem here.
Cap/Sft and fn isnt working in text message mode.
they work in home screen though..
Please help us out!!
thats why i dont open my phone ...
anyway... if u think u are good with hardware and breaking things apart an take them back together... u can try the htc vox service manual...
i dont recommend anything...
but here it is
http://www.maritime-billeder.dk/uploads/file/VOX_SM_A01 _GENERIC_.pdf
read before u do anything and remember if something dont work, stop, think.. DONT use violence
oh.... opening the phone works in the case some buttons dont work anywhere... otherwise its software.. maybe hard reset, reflashing?
Its definately not hardware.
Because when I Updated from orginall Vodafone Rom to WM 6.1 the keyboard started to decline.
So does someone has a solution for this?
I dont have much knowledge of this, but managed to update my HTC S710 to WM 6.1.
(sorry for my english)

Major problem with touch screen on Polaris

Hello all... got kind of a big problem that i at the moment don't have an answer to,..
inastalled advanced configuration tool 3.2 on HTC Polaris, the first crash i had was when I enabled animation for menus... (the start menu turned black and the polaris froze), but when i managed to start the advanced configuration tool i unchecked it and it was ok,...
the MAJOR PROBLEM accured when I set the touch screen sensitivity, because the touch part of the screen is inresponsive,.. meaning it does not work at all,.. tryed very hart pressing but it doesn't do it.. the problem is because i can't reach eg start menu or the lower 2 shortcuts with hard button cursor (the wheel)... gestures work however, so i can call the touch flo cube but am not able to select anything, and sam thing goes for enetering pin,.. so i'm not able to make phone calls at the moment.. did few hard resets, and uninstalled the adv. conf. tool but nothing helped... can anyone tel me where (and how to get there) can i adjust this back to normal, i wanted to do this in the advanced configuration tool 3.2 but the problem is you cant make any changes since the screen doesn't work,.. same with reinstalling the program, i can select to install it on a card but canot "click" on next since the screen doesn't do it and the hard keys "can't go there"
so really really someone help me please...
thnx
Are you sure you hard reset and this problem went away or did you mean soft reset?
Maybe aligning the screen will help reset the pressure? Click the button in the middle of the wheel and the GPS button at the same time, the Windows align screen pops up. See if that helps.
I find it very hard to believe that you hard reset and the touch screen sensitivity is still not there. That can't be right.
Hi,
thanx for the reply,... another problem that accoured afterwards was that my friend held the end button (wich locks the keys, screen) and the phone was additionally locked... and literally nothing (again NOTHING ) helped, spent 5 hours trying to save the situation,.. i did soft reset (so your assumption was right) but when later tryed hard reset it probably wasn't done since the instructions say you do it with holding gps and iExplorer buttons while soft reseting it... this resulted in getting the "hard reset screen" wich says to confirm hard reset with hitting the send button, wich unfortunatelly i wasnt able to find in hard keys, and nothing else but this warning text was on the screen as well.. so in the end it probably ended upo wit soft resetting it, anyways it didn't help,... i decided to reinstall the rom i downloaded on htc official site,... it went thru ok and the phone is , though out of the box at least functional,... but in the end, i must admit that am a little surprised this happened with this tool pack (i actually avoided altering the registers just in order to avoid this kid of situations since i don't really know much about these things)... was expecting it to work (in my case) a bit better, more stable. All i wanted really was to get a bit louder speaker volume when ringing and ability to alter the HTC home toolbar, since i find the weather screen totaly irreliable and never really use it, so i thought I would have sth there that i might really have some use of..
well nevertheless.. the phone is working, that's all that matters at the mom so i can again start finishing my phd wich i am defending in a week
PS. the fact that you can not do practically anything without the touch screen just sucks big time, if i compare it to the mouse on pc,... i saved the situation many times with the keybord .. in 1 word strange
take care
My Mobile
Perhaps you should have tryied out the "My Mobile" aplication that allows you to use your mobile from a PC.
It shows a windows with the mobile screen and you can touch it and use the mobile like if you was touching the REAL mobile...
Late for that solucion, perhaps another with that problem can solve it this way...
Chears
@gastonfama: am not sure this would help, since a friend that has htc diamond has this tool pack on and it work k ok on his phone,.. that's why i predicted that it is going to be stable enough on mnie as well,.. so in my thinking, if the 2 htc that are rather alike had such different "reaction", than an emulation would be even less comparable to mine, thanks though
Had the same problem with Schaps_AdvancedConfig and wrong HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold setting.
XML I used had "200" as advised value (system default is 2908!),
after changing you could hit it with a hammer and nothing.
Managed to set is back to recommended value 9000 using MyMobiler app and all problems gone.
See also HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel\PressureThreshold
sys default is 18866, I use now 19866 and I'm happy
Check tips&tricks thread
I got the same problem, I wanna to install "My Mobiler" but due to the screen is locked, I can't continue the installation, any help ?
well as far as I see here (forgot how i installed it after previous post) you have an exe here :
http://www.mymobiler.com/downsafe.aspx
so you will install it from the pc anyways, but how will you make the confirm on where to install it (mybe if you put storage card out and there will be only 1 memory option, but you will still have to confirm installation i guess).. i wasnt able to confirm without the screen on polaris,.. maybo on some other phone
double post...mistake
I had that same screen not working problem after tweaking the phone with advanced config 3.3, 3.2, 3.1, only hardware buttons work.
Problem can only be solved by Hard Reset. Version 2.2 I think is the only one that works (not thoroughly tested though)

KforTouchPro problems.....

Hey guys, i've got a problem. First off, KforTouchPro works fine on my HTC Touch Pro, i can configure buttons fine for Morphgear, PocketGBA, SmartGear etc, it works wonderful. And as everyone that uses this app already knows, you have to switch the setting to MS IME before you launch your game emulator, or else you can't configure the keys. Well, my problem is, after i'm done playing a game, sometimes I forget to switch the setting back to default, and whenever i do a reset or shutoff my phone, it hangs at the screen right before it shows your homescreen and touchflo3d tabs.
Basically, for those that use EnergyROM, it hangs at the screen that shows you the black & blue background with the word EnergyROM 3.0 in the bottom left (or something like that, can't remember). That means you can't do anything at all, since there are no buttons etc for you to press as the home screen is not fully loaded, so basically you got a semi-bricked phone as no matter how many times i try to turn on the phone, it just hangs there, which results in me having to do a hard reset in the end.
To prevent this, you MUST restore the KforTouchPro setting back to the default setting, but sometimes ppl forget and this will cause a semi-bricked phone, which is very risky and quite dangerous.
So, is anyone else having the same problem as me?? Is there a solution to this??
And lastly, what's the difference between KforTouchPro and KforRaphael??

Problems Surface RT (Touchscreen/speed/buttons)

Hi everyone, as the title says, i've been having some problems with my surface RT (from the first generation) that I bought 2 days before the Pro was released in 2013 xd
First, a while ago, a year I think, my Vol - button stop working, I don't know why, but it just doesn't work until now. *
Second, I've been realizing that the speed and the fluently have decreased, or in other words, some lag has started to appear, even if I restart the tablet. Do the ARM version of windows suffers the same problems than its x86 counterpart? I mean, that it gets slower and slower as time goes by?
And third, and the most important, for a week or two, the right edge of the screen, doesn't respond to touch, so I can't open the charms bar or press "x" to close desktop apps, unless I use a mouse. It is like an inch wide or maybe less and involves all the "height" in landscape, but when I touch that place, the screen detects it like if I'm pressing either its left or exactly at the right edge. Curiously, it is intermittent, sometimes it works fine like it should, and in others it just doesn't work. Also, sometimes it goes crazy, and that sectors act like if i'd pressing and moving my five fingers all across that area, and I have to press the lock button for make it stop.
*I didn't mention it, but my Vol + button is starting to work weird too, I have to press it several times for make it "return to life" and response.
Well, the touchscreen problem is the one that worries me the most, but due to it is intermittent... could it be related to software instead of hardware? Could it be solved?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Regards (I always doubt if this is the correct word for the expression that goes here xd)
Edit: I forgot to mention it, but i have win 8.1
If you haven't deleted the recovery partition, you can "refresh" the tablet to restore it to a like-new-install state. That should clean up any actual decrease in speed (as opposed to mere perception of the same).
The hardware issues sound like, well, like hardware issues. You can't really do much about those except get the thing serviced; it's not very user-repairable.
I thought that using the recovery to restore it to its original state will be the option, but is anyone else getting similar issues? I was thinking that maybe the problem was an update, because I have them programmed to be installed automatically, and maybe I didn't notice it.
I guess i'll do the "refresh" after I backup my files on December for vacations if this problem doesn't disappear by itself.
This is getting weirder :S, now I can't open some modern apps, they stay forever with the loading icon in the center, this occurs for example, in the store app or In the news app, but weather or desktop (luckily) work fine.
