Is this the ultimate BUG? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

I just found the ultimate bug and I believe this bug is responsible for G-Alarm and pTravelalarm not working. These alarm programs set the system volume to a predefined value, no matter where it was before (off, for example).
Why the heck does the PHONE RINGER volume influence the SYSTEM volume?
Check out the video:
here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBZAkJwDHT0
Can this be fixed in Windows? Reg-Hack?

Anyone here with a AT&T Fuze that can test this please? Is my hardware defective? I'm still within the 30 days to return that sucker if it is.
Thanxxx

Wow, strange!!
I already saw your post in the G-Alarm thread yesterday.
Just tested it with my Touch Pro running ROMeOS 1.51, and I do not have this bug.

I suspect it is related to the latest AT&T stock rom. I hope someone with a brand new AT&T version can test this. If it's just a rom problem, then I can probably flash mine but I don't want to try that right now and lose warranty if I'm not sure...
here's my latest video that shows directly how crucial this bug is to any alarm program:

Again, it's myself who figured it out. After hours of trying and 3 hard resets (thanks to SpriteBackup I didn't have to install everything over again!)
Here is the result and the culprit is identified!

Anyone else here with the AT&T Fuze that has the same problem? Is there a fixed version of ozim available?

Yeah sure, no problem. I just thought a picture says more than 1000 words and a video says even more. But here in plain English:
Starting up the OZ IM Messenger Client on the AT&T Fuze (or worse, having it autostart with the system) completely screws up the system volume settings. Suddenly the RINGER volume slider also influences the SYSTEM volume. Say you turn your ringer volume all the way down but you still want to listen to mp3's in Windows Media... nada. If you set your phone to silent or vibrate and have a nice alarm program like G-Alarm installed, the alarm will go off but no sound out of the speaker!
After closing down OZ IM you still have to soft-reboot to get your system sounds back.

Is there a newer version of the OZ IM available that doesn't f*** up the system volume? That company's website doesn't even allow you to contact anyone, let alone check for updates or get support

Here's the newest development in this case.
Tried a different OZ IM (verizon version) last night and the sound bug was GONE. BUT I got errors connecting. Found out that there is a config file with verizon gateway in it, replaced it with the AT&T one. Still an error. Different one though (404). Re-installed the original AT&T version. Sound bug back immediately
Just overwrote the .exe file with the one from Verizon: Sound bug gone but again connection error 404...
WTF?
Anyone have a different AT&T version besides the obviously screwed up 2.0.84 M ?

Silent Treo

So I know this is a known bug from what other threads have said. In my case I don't even need to use the slider, but guranteed my phone sounds will all stop working at least once a day, even the vibrate does not work.
Soft reset solves the problem till the next time.
Should I consider reporting and getting my unit changed ?
I am testing one thing right now, normally I have my pushmail running 24x7, I think this might be the cause somehow. It's not direct push, its Oracle Pushmail plugin with works with pocket outlook.
Is this normal ?
Voicecommand is the problem, disable it and you will never have that problem again!
ok I will try this out and get back
that did not work, i disabled and left push email running overnight and sure enough in the morning the sounds no longer worked.
Tonight I will turn push mail off and see what happens I am pretty sure the sound will work in this case.
i had this issue earlier this week and i've seen numerous threads about other having the same issue. NO true, duplicated scenario or solution has been found (or i haven't seen one). After several soft resets i had to do a hard reset and reinstall everything. That was the only way i got the sound back.
so in your case are you saying a soft reset did not bring the sound back ?
in my case soft reset always brings the sound back.
I have kept my email turned off and so far no problems with the sound, I think mine has got something to do with oracle pusmail plugin, which is a real pain as I need that.
Unless this occurs in a clean device [no installed 3rd party apps] it might be a software issue. Maybe you should try and weed out the offensive app/s?
So I know which app causes it, for me its the oracle pushmail plugin for outlook that we get from work, but I can't really remove this, after all this is the reason I have this device :-(
When you lose the sound on your device does the camera also die at the same time?
Will have to check that out next time. I have had the camera go a few times, needed to soft reset. Next time the sound goes I will check the camera and report back.
Camera was ok when the sound went.
Are you SURE you have voicecommand COMPLETELY disabled? (NO checkmarks on NO options AND!!!! NO SHORTCUT TO VOICECOMMAND ON ANY BUTTON)?
Regards,
Ingo
Will have to try again, today I noticed the voice command was enabled, very weird I never set it on.
Will see how it goes this time.
OF COURSE!
The sound goes away.... it also came back once, without softresetting. I am not sure the VC is directly connected to this... I spent a good amount of $$$ to buy this phone for my wife, on the wave that she loved the 650... but what a bad idea!! Is something going to be done in order to fix all these bugs? By the way, my 750 is unlocked, but I guess it doesn't make any difference, or does it? Thank you guys, Paul.
If I checked TTY/TTN in phone options, all phone sound ceased. Uncheck and its back. Nothing in Help about this feature - what is it?
Chris
the innocent Treo...the silence of the Treo...
Waht is it? It is a shame!!! After almost one year that this model is out, still no fix for the problem! I spent $600.00 for this phone...it is really a shame.

Funny - same here. She loved her TX, I bought her the 750.
Ringer gone. Comment "Isn't ringing a basic feature of a phone honey?"
Just had to hard-reset, all others failed.
Not nice.
Same story here. She loved the 650, it got to the end of its life, so I bought her the new 750. Even worse, it doesn't even vibrate for her....lol...
Silent 750
Seems that a lot bought the 750 for the wife.
Even more reason to get the sound issue fixed
Any news yet on this - any word from Palm?
Every day i have to reboot my phone, even when i receive a call the phone don't vibrate.
Is there any mortscript that screen on screen off the phone when you receive a screen ?

A few questions about the XDA ORBIT 2

Hi
I received my XDA ORBIT 2 and have been using it for 2 days now.
Just got a few questions to ask..
1) When making a call to the device, it is normal for the phone to ring 3 times before the XDA ORBIT 2 starts ringing? I just thought it was quite a big delay.
(Yes it is normal - credit to gnick666 for the help there, thanks)
2) Does anyone have a problem with the handsfree kit - if you are listening to the radio and press any button on it, you will get a really bad signal for a few seconds. Its even worse when you press MUTE, it just gives a really loud static noise even if the signal was perfectly fine before
(Problem dissappeared with hard reset)
3) Doesn't the main camera seem very choppy and bad quality? I mean the camera is meant to be 3 Megapixels but if you compare it to other 3 Megapixel phones it is obvious that the XDA ORBIT 2's camera is crap! It looks like a 2 Megapixel!
(Fix provided, however doesn't really fix the problem - download from this linK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2049527)
4) Is there any way to edit the Touch Cube? It has CoPilot on it but frankly CoPilot is very bad in my experience and uses really old maps - it couldnt find any of my destinations that TomTom could. Is it possible to swap the CoPilot button with a TomTom one on the cube?
(A program can edit the Touch Cube - download from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=71953&d=1203658279)
5) Also, has anyone had the problem where the phone takes forever to send a text mesage even if you have full signal? Every 30 seconds or so it will tell you your balance but it will take a long time before it actually sends the text message - could be as long as 10 minutes!
(Problem resolved - do not send any messages to 20202 or this blocks the outbox queue)

The fix has actually has been posted on this forum... search the attachments...
Thanks finally found it
Eerm about the text messaging problem, I thought I fixed it but its still there..
I found the culprit, infact. Because I am a pay and go customer, I regulary check how many free text messages I have got.. this is done by texting BALANCE to 20202. But everytime I text that number to check my balance, my phone never sends the message, it gets stuck in the outbox queue and every 30 seconds it will tell me my balance. Because of this the phone cannot send any other text messages. The only way to solve this problem is to delete the text message from the outbox, soft reset the phone and never text 20202 again.
It works fine now and an alternative to check you free allowance is by calling 4444 and selecting option 2 twice. This bypasses the text problem.
Just thought I would explain it incase someone else gets the problem.
HI to prank1,
I have the same camera problem with my touch cruise. been searching the forum for hours, still cant find the fix for camera, can you help me by showing me where to look ?
THanks so much.
Hi leynos
The camera fix does not help that much, still a bit choppy. In fact it is meant to address a different issue:
If you zoom in on a captured photo and notice grainy, maze-like patterns within the image itself (this problem is caused by too much sharpness enhancement being applied in bright-light environments), please download and install this hot fix to solve the problem. Sharpness parameters within the photo will then be reduced with only a minimal loss of image sharpness
If you still want to download the patch, visit this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2049527
The choppyness of the camera is because of the drivers, the fix only helps whith some quality issues...

Continuos vibration..draining battery

I am using Dutty's 6.1 hybrid Rom. But a major problem is with the vibration. I have selected Vibrate and ring and then the phone vibrates continiously with the ringtone. When it was with the Stock rom the phone didn't vibrate constantly. This is eating a lots of battery ...Pls pls find some way to STOP this.
BTW- Pls don't say that i have to select vibrate then ring option.
When you have it set to vibrate and ring please look at and post the contents of the following registry key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
list all values and data
thx
Also make sure you understand the expected behavior:
Vibrate AND ring will mean it will play the ringtone and vibrate all through the ring tone.
Vibrate THEN ring will mean it will vibrate once for a few seconds then play the ringtone.
Which one have you selected and explain what you think it is doing that is not normal....
I think he may be talking about its a constant vibrate rather than a pulsing vibrate, mine does the same thing. I'll get those values here in a minute.
My kaiser sometimes won't stop vibrating after receiving an email(not on sms).
This started to happen after installing no thrills. When i press the power button until the dialog to shutdown appears, and press no the vibrations stop. The only real annoyance is when there is an email in the middle of the night.

Hi,
Maybe this can help:
check reg: HCU - ControlPanel - sounds - RingTone0 - Script
a = activate
V = Vibrate
P = play sound
w= wait
r= repeat
maybe you have something like: avr
You should have something like: av2pw2r
This way you tell the device to activate, then vibrate, then play ringtone, then wait for 2 seconds, the repeat the instruction...
cheers

I get this too, but it doesn't happen with every email. I find just hitting the start button stops it, but if I'm not near the phone, it's really annoying and drains the battery.

That means:
Vibrate(v) continuously(0) and play ringtone(p) for 3 seconds (w3) then repeat(r).
If you don't want continuous vibration, use something like:
av3pw3r
Vibrate(v) 3 seconds (3) and play ringtone(p) for 5 seconds (w5) then repeat(r).
well then....seems as if i have passed on my little problem to you fine people. i've been complain of this for months now. I have hunted dutty down for many hours to fix this but no luck. from what i can tell the issue has to do with sound.
if you notice it only happens when the phone is promoted to play sound...phone call....text...or email. Sometimes (depending on the radio) if you let it sit for a few seconds (we're talking 40 seconds or so) you'll notice the last half secants of the sound will play, then the vibration will stop. Other times or most of the time, the last bit of the sound does not play, so the phone continues to vibrate.
to tell the truth i've been way to lazy to find out what it is that stops he last bit of sound from playing, but trust me when i tell youz...thats the issue.
my quick fix is to FORCE it to play sound. How? just hit the red phone button. That little beep it makes is all you need. once you hit the end button the vibrating is done. it hasn't happen too many times with the newer builds...but it still happens. its a bug i just accepted.

If you haven't applied the reg hack, the question clearly was not directed to you. So let me put that again: Can someone who applied the reg hack in post #10 and is not trying to play the smart### confirm to me if it works on his/her device?
In the meantime: I have tried and put av1pw3r (meaning, according to post #10, that the vibration would last 1 second). I sofreset immediately after and confirmed that the hack sticked.
But got the continuous vibration at least once after that. I'm on Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 with the cube.
I have learnt from experience that I could make the vibration stop if I started a call...
I had this problem when I flashed a ROM and kept the older radio to see how it would work. When I updated the radio it went away. Try changing radios it might work for you.

I can only assume it will be there after a hard reset, as it's something I've used countless times and have never had to enable it. (I seem to remember reading it in the manual too!)
Confirmed working with Dutty's ML series ROMs.
It does not work for me. WWE ROM. I just did a hard reset.
Always worked for me on Stock 1.66 ROM.
Working on Axlor.

that's strange. the feature is documented in the HD2 manual, so it at least works on all stock ROMs. If not, approach HTC support.
i'd say if it doesn't work, its something related to a flashed rom and a setting more than anything else
Turing On Speaker While Facing Up More Useful
I would rather somehow have the proximity sensor turn the spearkers on while the phone is facing up because it would be nice to multi-task and take notes or update my contacts while I am talking to that person/business. For example, a business gives me an RMA so I would have to edit my notes for that contact and enter the RMA number. I can't do this while the phone is faced down.
yea the speaker function works the same on mine as on the TP2
Is there a setting or reg key that I can change to enable this? (doesn't work on Artemis 6.0)

Maybe it's too late and you already found the solution but here it goes for other people:
To turn the HD2's speaker on do one of these:
1 - Long press phone button (furtherest left)
2 - Turn it upside down
3 - On the call screen slide down & press the speaker's button

Irritating things with the Global software...

Hi,
As we now probably all know, the Global version of this ROM lacks a lot of features : no gestures, no dark mode...
But even without those missing parts, it is still irritating...
Here are the three things that are bothering me :
- 1°) the notifications : I have 2 SIM cards inside that thing. It constantly reports that I have a new voice message. But whatever SIM card answering machine I call, tells me "You have no new message". I erase the notification. I keeps popping up again...
- 2°) the dialer : when I get a call, I have to swipe up to answer it. On every other phone, a short swipe is enough to answer the call. On this device, I have to swipe up to the top of the device for it to understand that I would like to answer the call...
- 3°) whatever I do, the default app selected for SMS messaging is not kept after a reboot. I use Textra. I select it as the default app. Each time the phone is rebooted, I have to tellit that I want to use Textra again as default mesaging app.
Do you guys have those problems also ?
Regards.
It's not a real problem or bug, but really irritating
I have some more:
I know it's nitpicking buuuuut
1. When watching YouTube vids and touching the triggers by accident, it brings up the scroll bar and does not go away untill you let go of the triggers.
2. Can't silence notifications.
3. Unreliable OTG USB file transfers (gets stuck)
4. When increasing the volume on Bluetooth devices, it only goes up by 0 or 2
5. My alarm clock never works
6. Switching between Sim Cards is super slow
7. Searching for settings is difficult
And some more things that I can't think of the top of my head.

Hi,
Hum... That can be sorted I think
1°) About your thing with the button triggers : install Button Mapper. Open it. Choose to add a new button and tap the left or right trigger button. Once created, say you don't want any action to be configured. You should be good to go
2°) You can silence notifications. But you have to do that under "Notifications" and not under "Sound"... Go figure !!!
3°) Hum... Have you tried to format your card to another format like FAT ? I don't use that feautre so I can't really tell.
4°) Yes. I think that is true. But will try to confirm later when I'll use it in my car audio.
5°) Mine works... I think.
6°) It is not unusually slow here...
7°) The way they organized the settings is just... super stupid.
Conclusion : I think I will try to install the chinese ROM and root it to see if I can use that with better results.
Hi,
Another thing is totally stupid to me : that is the fact that you cannot pin an app to stick even if Recents are cleared.
So I can have gestures enabled because the stupid people at Nubia removed that from the EU/US ROM.
But that requires access to "Accessibility" services.
As soon as I clear recents, that feature is disabled...
And as it is gestures => no more control over device !!!
SHEER STUPIDITY !!!!
All in all, I think I will return the device within the next 3 days within my right of withdrawal.
Hardware is brilliant. Softwa
I will be returning mine also. Such a shame the software sucks.

Let us know how that goes. I've seen several posts on other forums complaining that Nubia is not answering emails when it comes to returns and RMA's for the Red Magic 3. Some have started disputes with Paypal to try and get their money back.

Hi,
Hum... That can be sorted I think
1°) About your thing with the button triggers : install Button Mapper. Open it. Choose to add a new button and tap the left or right trigger button. Once created, say you don't want any action to be configured. You should be good to go
2°) You can silence notifications. But you have to do that under "Notifications" and not under "Sound"... Go figure !!!
3°) Hum... Have you tried to format your card to another format like FAT ? I don't use that feautre so I can't really tell.
4°) Yes. I think that is true. But will try to confirm later when I'll use it in my car audio.
5°) Mine works... I think.
6°) It is not unusually slow here...
7°) The way they organized the settings is just... super stupid.
Conclusion : I think I will try to install the chinese ROM and root it to see if I can use that with better results.

I tried the button mapper app but it's not working. Can you provide more info on how you did it?

I emailed them yesterday that I want to refund the phone due to problems and they sent me a form to fill in a few hours ago. [email protected]

how did you return it?
I have no return option in order details
also how did they accept it if you used the phone? they say in their policy that the phone must be unused

Did you fill in the form they emailed you? Is the case number the order number?

As long as you return it in the first 15 days you can return it used or not, and I emailed their customer support to return it

The form is not accepting my IMEI number. Did you have this problem?

I am returning mine as well due to these software issues, and I received the same response about DHL. They did not say they would not take it even though I had used it, they agreed that I could return it because I was within my 15 days. I would assume as long as you didn't damage it (screen cracks, water damage, etc), they should still be able to process the refund.
For me, GLS is the courier. Never heard of them.
I hope if they get so much people returning the device because of it's lousy software, they may consider improving it...
Let's wait and hope...
Anyone had their refund yet?

Hi,
As we now probably all know, the Global version of this ROM lacks a lot of features : no gestures, no dark mode...
But even without those missing parts, it is still irritating...
Here are the three things that are bothering me :
- 1°) the notifications : I have 2 SIM cards inside that thing. It constantly reports that I have a new voice message. But whatever SIM card answering machine I call, tells me "You have no new message". I erase the notification. I keeps popping up again...
- 2°) the dialer : when I get a call, I have to swipe up to answer it. On every other phone, a short swipe is enough to answer the call. On this device, I have to swipe up to the top of the device for it to understand that I would like to answer the call...
- 3°) whatever I do, the default app selected for SMS messaging is not kept after a reboot. I use Textra. I select it as the default app. Each time the phone is rebooted, I have to tellit that I want to use Textra again as default mesaging app.
Do you guys have those problems also ?
Regards.
It's not a real problem or bug, but really irritating

I notice these weird things too but doesn't bother me too much. Coming off several other Chinese devices lately these are not so bad and hopefully get dealt with by a software update or by someone here.
Have they ever fixed the touch trigger issue with YouTube?

From version 2.07 to version 2.10 on YouTube, triggers did not fix!
