My Raphael (UK Voda) is wierdly stuck. when I select the 'full qwerty' soft keyboard, it is already on the numbers/symbols layout, and pressing the ABC button has no effect to switch back to qwerty layout. all other input methods work fine.
I have made some adjustments in the reqistry to get rid of all word suggestions some time ago, and only recently started using the HTC input options. it worked fine for the last few days.
This has survived shutdown and restart. I'm sure a hard reset would cure the issue, but thats just lazy, I'd like to try and repair it. I couldn't find an obvious registry value to control this behaviour, and I don't know which DLL or other file to reinstall(or where to obtain a fresh copy). I would appreciateany advice on this matter.

Did you try this reg setting?

Perfect. I had changed the HKLM settings to get rid of word completion, but setting it to eT9 cleared the fault, but re-instated the word completion, so set it back to compime, and all is good again. I'm guessing a badly timed power off got it stuck.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hey all, just upgraded to thingonasprings rom and im pretty chuffed so far... only a couple of problems, im sure someone will be able to help me as a newbie. Keyboard and phone buttons seem to work fine, but the dpad, backlight, voice dial and camera buttons and volume control all seem dead and the power button doesnt always bring the screen back up, i have to close the lid and re-open.
Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone confirm them to be working in another rom that is as good as thingonasprings?
ok, i guess no one else has this problem... can anyone recommend a way to capture when a button is pressed and what reference refers to that button? Is there anything in the registry storing a button reference followed by its action. I may not be using the correct terminology.
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
try to reflash it again... maybe it would help.
Thanks for the reply
I tried reflashing, and even tried changing to a different rom (I am using thingonaspring's rom, but have tried Beasty & Laurentius as well). Im guessing that this is something kinda specific to my device as it seems no-one else has had this problem. I know that the backlight button actually works as I can use it to get into the bootloader, thats why im thinking it must definately be a rom / software issue. Ive been looking for an app I can use to trace a button press, but cant find anything. I really like WM6, but without these buttons / volume slider i may need to swap back to something else... i was running 2003 with wisbar but the performance didnt seem as good as it is now, and i love realvga (I dunno if it is supported on other versions of the OS).
ok, think im getting somewhere - went back to wm5 and all was fine, went to wm6 and they worked until i reset...then nothing... hard reset and they work, until i reset again.... anyone any ideas please?
now sorted changed rom to jwrights and its much better - thanks
It's a very strange problem.
After upgrading to wm6, when I started a call on the today screen appeared a "full screen" notification from where I could activate the loud-speaker or mute the call. Then I tryed to install a .cab to emulate the htc touch style. From that moment, when I start a call the past "full screen" notification area does not appear any more, so I have to enter the menu to mute the call or activate the loud-speaker. I removed the application but nothing changed. Then I hard-resetted the treo 750v, and the problem was solved, but when I launched the restore of my spb backup of yesterday, the today palm application desappeared again
I think it's a stupid registry value, but I don't know which value to change, could someone help me?
There is no installed application and no today plugin activated.
Thanks in advance and excuse my poor english.
I too also share the same problem, I installed WM6, and then I thought i try to use the HTC home today plugin to make my phone look a bit nicer, problem was it made it look kinda stupid. I couldnt use the phone number lookup field on the today screen as the HTC today took up all the space, also I noticed that when I place a call, the phone connection screen and the screen that stays on showing the duration and the mute and loudspeaker options had been removed . The best thing I could think of at the time was just to uninstall the plugin for HTC Home, however that didnt resolve the problem, I know the person who posted here before mentioned that you can fix this problem with a hard dreset, but is there any other alnernative method as I am fed up of resetting this device now.
Please help me!
Cheers guys.

Similar problems here. Had to hard reset as my power button would not work at all. The hard reset was the only way I could fix it...
Does nobody knows the registry key to change?
Yea i am having the same problem. I wish i didn't try the htc home. Any fix for this?
I really don't want to hard resert my phone. Its got to be in the registry.
Someone has to have an solution? I tried looking, but maybe someone who knows the phone a bit more in depth, can help.
try this thread.

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...

@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

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)
Hi all..newbie to this site and to smart phones so excuse the steep learning curve !
Have had the phone for a few weeks and learning lots. All of sudden yesterday when trying to make a calendar entry, the full QWERTY, compact QWERTY, and phone pad can no longer be used to enter text. It's stuck on numeric mode. Tapping the "abc" key on the bottom of the full QWERTY keyboard doesn't change anything. Can still use transcriber and full keyboard for now. BUt when switched to Note program, all entry methods work. Have not installed any new programs lately (besides a few games and new calculator). Have been using S2U2 and Diamond tweaks to help with a few other problems...Help please since this is now my primary calendar and runs my life so need to have this working again!!
you have this problem too? i have the htc diamond keyboardon my device(mwg zinc ii)but sometimes it just enter numbers only. to solve this, i tap on option and tap ok then it works fine again. most people who installed the htc diamond keyboard on their non htc device have this problem too. but this is the first time i heard of a diamond having this problem. did you upgrde to the latest diamond rom?
Yes it's on a brand new Diamond..running ROM version 1.93 dated Oct 30/2008 so I am assuming it's the most up to date one. Just tried it again now, and it let me enter on word in full QWERTY, then it automatically changed to numeric and locked me out of letters again....IT's FRUSTRATING
Ok..thought I bump this up to see if will get more attention.
Contacted HTC Helpdesk in the meantime, and suggestion was to hard reset...ARRGH!!!!
Just so I'm clear, after a hard reset, the device will turn back to factory settings, and all I have to do is sync it with my PC to bring back data, then reinstall programs that I've added, and then tweak the settings that I've already done and the phone will be back to "normal"??? Or are there things that the phone providers (Rogers) put in that won't come back after a hard reset???
this is bull****...mine is doing the same thing..and if u do a hard reset there are a lot of things that have to b reprogramed by sprint
HTC touch diamond full qwerty troubles
I have also had troubles with my touch diamond. Twice I have lost the ABC capability of the full qwerty option and the only option both times was to do a hard reset. The cell phone company could not figure out any other way to fix the problem and it did seem to fix it but there has to be something wrong with the programming to be causing this over and over again.
same as above. stuck number mode for both keyboards on a diamond.
Sometimes it has this kind of problem and when you power it on again it will work well. Everytime when I had this problems, I just power off and on. Then everything is okay. But I don't know the reason. Is that because some apps in the phone? Or the CPU is too busy to react.
I am hoping that you guys can help.
My spouse purchase a HTC Fuze a little while back. She used it for
a few months. She was then deployed to Iraq. The phone has been
off for the last 3 months. It was working fine when last used. Recently,
I powered it up and the touch screen is not functioning properly.
You can not use it to dial phone numbers, send texts, and such.
Basically, it does not function correctly really. When it just sitting,
it will roll through options on the screen as if it is being touched
and will not stay on the home setting.
What could the problem be? Can this be fixed? I have tried a soft reset
which hasn't worked. It is disturbing since this is a fairly new phone.
Thanks in Advance!
try re-calibrating the screen! if that fails - hard rest it.
How do you re-calibrate the screen?
settings-system-screen
I am under the settings menu but I don't see anything that says system.
Bear in mind that if I have to use the touch screen to get to it then it
would be a no go.
it's a tab in the button if you get there by moving down fron the lowests icon then you can move to system
its a tab in what button. Can you some one give me the exact step by step to get there?
try using the circular thing (joystick) to get there! i'm running a custom rom, so your settings layout may be different.
circular joystick to get where.
Can I have a step by step? I can't find system anywhere.
My touch screen displays but it does not do anything when
I touch it. I have to use the physical buttons.
to go up and down in that menu but if you have a stock rom you may have a different folder for "system", i'm not sure.
Figured out where that is now. I didn't realize that
you were talking about the start button for windows.
I went to that section and it asks you to go through the
align screen process but it does not respond to the taps
of the wand. Is that how we recalibrate?
If this doesnt work, what can be done to get the screen working?
try this: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Raphael_For_Beginners#Hardx20.Reset
hard reset your phone
If I do that, I will lose all my contacts and data on my phone, right?
How do I prevent this?
your best bet is to hope you have "PIM backup" and use it to back up everything, including custom folders. hopefully you can navigate using the hardware keyboard. (custom backup allows you to pack up specific folders and/or files). back it up to your storage card, THEN hard reset it.
also, if you have your phone's contact list synced via active sync, just hard reset and it'll restore your synced contact list.
good luck
EDIT: please delete this. double post of preceding reply.
Will a hard reset actually fix this problem with the touch screen
or this just a try it and see approach?
Contacts saved on my SIM will not be affected by a hard reset, right?
Do a hard reset then,
Yeah, if you already save your contacts in the sim then go ahead and do a hard reset. Just follow the start up procedure on the phone, hope this will solve your problem. Please let us know.
Will a hard reset actually fix this problem with the touch screen
or this just a try it and see approach?
man, nobody knows for sure. it will give you a blank phone, just like the first dday you turned it on (software wise). if the screen has some hardware damage - you will know after the hard-reset. let us know how it went!
so what is actual purpose of a hard reset over a soft reset?
Why would this work to reset the screen over a soft reset?
