[PROB] Volume buttons not working

Hello,
I noticed that since I took the TP from the Box the volume buttons are not working as they should... it shows the volume screen and also move (like arrow key)
Someone experienced this?
I was searching google but could not find any solution or similar problem

i dont understand. sounds like it is working

I have applied a few tweaks from this forum and now when I press a volume button, either one, it brings up the volume screen as expected, but on a second press, of either button, the volume screen disappears and the volume does not change. Not sure if this is what you are seeing.

This is exactly what I mean... It just show the screan but does not work. And it is since I took it out of the box... It might be possible it is bacause the Czech localization program which is not on English TPs...
If you experience this problem, do you have some special localization for keyboard?

I am having the same problem as well with my Sprint Touch Pro. Clicking either volume button once brings up the volume screen and I have to use my finger to adjust volume on the screen. Holding either volume button does not raise or lower the volume. Doing so exits the volume control screen (and then quickly brings it up again). It almost seems like it's trying to scroll in whatever program is active.

Has anyone figured out what might be causing this?

problem resolved in my case

I had the same problem, but I found the solution ... at least is is working for me now ...
I start to think your way ... since I am also using localization ... InterWrite 9.5
I changed some things (at least those that I remembered that I changed before). Than InterWrite asked for soft reset ... I did it and now it works.
Try to change some settings ... I disallowed support hardware keyboard (I think this was the most important) and some other settings. If it's not working for you and you use the same localization soft, write here and we can go through every tab of InterWrite and do the same settings.

AlPachino, you are genius... it was enough to swith the "Hardware Keyborad" in the Interwrite and now it works... I think we should report this bug to SW developer of that soft...

done already

I'm also having this problem, but I don't know what InterWrite is (pretty sure i'm not using it).
Is there somewhere in the registry to reassign these buttons back to their intended purposes? I assume some people have remapped them to be UP/Down scrolling, so we probably know where the registry settings are.

yeah, I took the easy way out by flashing a new ROM. I'd still love to hear the solution, but for now that has (obviously) fixed the issue for me.

I did a backup, then hard-reset, and that cured the problem.
I'm running the elite ROM right now, so it's not the ROM, it has to be one of the programs I added. So, I'm going to add them in 1 at a time and see who the guilty party is.
Edit: I put them all back in, and it now works fine. I tried replicating all the registry tweaks I had used and it still works... so I don't know what the answer is to why it was broken in the first place.

Same issue with me .
Used a hebrew localization, however, I hard resetted and re-installed and it seemed to be working fine. Now it is broken again just as you guys describe.
If anyone could find the reason or the hidden registry key, I'd be very grateful.

Happened to me too.
Did any of you have Diamond Tweaks installed? I noticed it on mine after this install. I know it has some tweaks in it for remapping scrolling. I've since hard reset, and installed everything except Diamond Tweaks. The button is still working as expected.

Fring is also a problem
I figured out that when I load Fring on mine the volume keys fail to work. I didn't have the problem on my Diamond so I'm guessing it's something to do with the (stock) ROM on the TP.
ROM: 1.90.405.1 WWE 08/01/08
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Protocol: 52.33.25.17U

None. In fact, it is one of the reasons I reset in the first place.
The latest thing I installed was "Startup service" but I don't see what does it have to do with it. I'll try to go to one of my recent backups and check.
Luckily I backup almost daily now (hard reset was a *****).

Just letting you guys know. So far found 2 programs that cause this behavior for me:
P.D.A.C Hebrew localization (talked to their support and they confirm the problem)
FDC Start Menu - http://www.dotfred.net/FdcStartMenu.htm
Real shame for both because I need hebrew and I liked FDC Start Menu a lot.

S2U2 1.35 will cause this problem, if you uninstall it you will be fine.. I think this should e fxed in the ne ver.

HELP!! a bricking - how can I hard reset?

I know it is my fault, I was using the Advanced Configuration Tool and thought I could make the screen on the x7510 more sensitive. The result was the opposite and the screen now won't respond to taps at all. So no possibility of screen input.
Without that, I can't use the same tool to put the settings back to what they were before, as it requires a screen tap to commit changes before re-booting. The absence of soft keys on the keyboard makes for problems here.
For the same reason, I can't hard reset using the Clear Storage tool, as that also requires a screen tap. I can't use Resco Registry Editor as that requires screen taps too.
So I am in somewhat of a quandary, happy to hard reset and start again, but no way of doing it that I can see.
Could I re-load the ROM? Someone uploaded the WWE version, but it unzips to three .raw files, which I have no idea what to do with.
Help please!! I need this as I am on holiday, I may be slow coming back to any replies, we are in Laos, where comms are, shall we say, a little slow, and we are travelling about. the first chance i get to sort this out I will use though.
Thanks for any help anyone can give.

If you have access to a PC onto which you may install software, then you can download and install MyMobiler, which is freeware. Get it here: www.mymobiler.com.
This will allow you to control your device from the PC, using the mouse, so you'd be able to make the changes you need to make.
Good luck!

hi
To make a Hardreset hold the volume slider down and press the reset button.
see wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Athena_Resets
but keep it in your mind that all your data (in rom) will be lose after hardreset
saied

thanks guys, just back from the Far East, appreciated your help and everything now restored.

For reference, I had this same problem yesterday. Didn't know of this thread at the time but managed to sort it out. It is completely possible to use the "clear storage" option in Settings>>System navigating using the keyboard. Fn>>OK brings up the start menu..navigate to settings using the cursor keys..press enter to select. Use TAB and cursor keys to navigate around across the tabs to "System" and again from there to "Clear Storage". Select whether to wipe the data stored on the device, on the flash disk or both using cursors/TAB, type "1234" and press the "OK" key. Done.
I had even managed to configure hardware buttons to the left/right soft keys to try to revert the settings in Advance Config, but it seems the effect of completely losing touch screen functionality is irreversible
Or you could obviously use the other method above which I didn't think to look for!! Like I said, just for reference. Might be useful to someone.
TIP: Don't change "Pressure Threshold" in Advanced Config to "Very High" as it will cause your touch screen to stop responding and the only way to get it back is by a hard reset.

Hardware keyboard slide annoyance! :mad:

Hi guys,
I went from loving my Touch Pro to almost throwing it at a wall!
This keyboard slide-out issue is driving me nuts, whenever I want to type something using the hardware keyboard, I slide it out and the damn landscape TF3D menu gets displayed ON TOP of whatever page I'm on.
I've tried the disable landscape registry trick (HKCU\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\landscape=false then soft reset) which works... but after a while (a few minutes or after some program or some random thing) it stops working and I have to either reset the phone or turn the reg key back to "true".
Is there any way at all to prevent the keyboard slide showing the landscape menu or at least prevent the menu from being on top of the current app?
For example I go to reply an SMS (I even tried waiting on the cursor to blink a few times, 2 - 3 secs) then slide out the keyboard to type and the stupid 8 icon menu goes on top of my message entry page, I have to choose 'messaging' app from the list of running apps to get back to that page, it really defeats the purpose of having a hardware keyboard!
Thanks guys for reading the rant.

What ROM are you currently using?

I had that issue too, I got rid of the theme I was using and stuck to the original HTC theme and I no longer have that problem!

I'm using Da_G's Clean ROM with his standard Manila install afterwards.
I've recently uninstalled the EzInput/T9 package from HTC and it seems to be behaving itself for now (it's been 2 hours with minimal use), like I said before it happens randomly. I don't know if it was because of the EzInput or something else because this seems to go away after every soft reset then comes back unexpectedly.
Thanks.

I had the issue using the RRE ROMs and ended up removing HTC Volume Control and it solved the problem completely.

Hrm I see to be having the issue again. How do I remove the HTC Volume Control?

I don't have any of this because I dumped the TF3D. Much happier and trouble/issue free without it. Euro device using stock rom.

OK I can confirm that it is the HTC Volume Controls that is causing this!
So from my previous post I tried to uninstall HTC EZinput which seemed to have fixed it but like I originally said the problem seems to happen out of nowhere after some time using the device.
So after reading the post above about HTC Volume Control, I pressed the vol down button, then this problem started happening again. I did a soft reset and no more problem after a while I pressed the vol button again and it happened again!

but he link that you gave us is for HTC Diamond... not for HTC Raphael...
will the application works on HTC Raphael??

Problem solved!
I had this problem for ages (as long as I have my Raphael, I think), and I couldn't track it down on the internet. Some time ago I found a post on XDA describing the problem but I can't find it again. Finding this post made me think.
I installed the aforementioned "volume control from JMZ" (I had extremely hard time finding it) and I didn't like it because it did something strange with my system font but it solved the problem. After few unsuccessful tries to fix the font (btw does anyone know how to fix this?) I decided to uninstall it. And the problem didn't return.
So what was the problem? Well… when I bought the phone I wanted (as many of you did) to change those ugly taskbar icons including volume icons contained within HTCVolumeControl.dll. And I did it by finding the dll file with the prettiest icons here on XDA (and maybe I changed some of them using the described procedure, I really can't remember now). However, that dll is the main culprit for the bug described in this post. Was it already broken when I found it, or I somehow broke it it's irrelevant now.
So the solution is: you don't have to install anything. Just delete HTCVolumeControl.dll from Windows folder, i.e. rename it using for example Resco File Explorer and then soft reset the device so that original file from ROM can be restored. Yes, the ugly icons will return but at least now you'll now where to look if this bug reappears. After that go and some find pretty volume icons, and again follow the procedure how to change them.
I have no idea how the file got corrupted in the first place (maybe there is some corrupted dll roaming the xda forum ) but after this episode I make changes only directly on the original dll (the one from ROM) and every time it was successful. I changed many icons until I found my favorites.
Cheers!

Help! ( Touch Pro 2, home screen reversion )

Hey all,
First, I'd like to say that so far the Touch Pro 2 is freaking awesome, but It's been doing something since I got it that is driving me up the wall;
So, say I'm in gsplayer or Opera, and for whatever reason, the screen turns off ( I hit the power button, it times out for power conservation, whatever... ). Whenever I turn the screen back on, the Clock in Touch Flow 3D shows up. GAH >_<
Is there any way to just open the phone back up to what I was looking at when the screen turned off? Help me XDA-Developers, you're my only hope!
-AceSmythe

update:
I went to the home configuration and disabled TouchFlo 3D , and it doesn't revert to the home screen when I reset
Does anyone know how to tell TouchFlo 3D to not re-assert itself every time I turn the screen on? I didn't see anything obvious in the registery
Thanks,
AceSmythe

I have a Touch Diamond 2 and i don't have this problem..
When i just hit the power button to turn the screen off, and 1 minute later when i turn it back on, everything is still the same as i left it. All the programs are still opened.
Maybe you hit the right 'hang up' key?? Because when you press it you go back to the homescreen

I'm pretty sure I know the difference between the power button at the top of the device and the hang up button near the bottom, thanks.
Anyone around who actually has a Touch Pro 2?

I have this issue with my Blackstone, using Duttys 3.9.
I have seen this issue before and as far as i have found out there is no soution to this. The only thing that could help is turning off the Msofts LOCK app. Unfortunately mine is on due to exchange security policy.
If your lock is not on, then im afraid i dont know

What does that app do and how would I turn it off?

I also went into the registry and disabled the Home tab for TouchFlo 3D, but the issue persists
( registry entry HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\0\Enable , set to 0 )
To any who are curious, this appears to be a viable method of removing Home, Programs, and Settings from the TouchFlo 3D tabs. On my device, 0 is Home, 2 is Programs, and 12 is settings
On another note that's completely unrelated, don't install the SRSwow control panel if you don't have drivers/hardware for it. It completely crippled the speakers and mic on the phone, and Voice Command ( voicecommand.exe ) freaked out whenever I tried to start it. Luckily, removing the software through Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs and doing a full reset fixed everything
( above 2 paragraphs included for people Googling either issue )
Anyway, back to the home screen thing... any other thoughts?

If you are using the lock app (which locks the screen) you can turn it off/on by going to (on my HD) settings/all settings/personal/lock and disable it if enabled.
It may not help you, but is a known issue regarding this particular problem.

Have you unchecked the today timeout?
Go to Settings/Personal/Today/Items and make sure it's unchecked.

Yes and makes no difference, but cheers for the idea.

Yeah, that was the first thing I tried aswell
** Warning **
Do not install the TouchFlo Detacher, it WILL break TouchFlo on your system
See http://freewareppc.com/utilities/touchflodetacher.shtml , then avoid it like the plauge
-AceSmythe

Sorry for the lateness of this post, after a full wipe and reinstall of everything ( after the TouchFlo 3D disaster mentioned above ) the home screen does not assert itself anymore. Per suggestion, I did not enable the lock. I'd test turning on the lock and off again, but I don't want to push my luck
Thanks one and all

Mod Edit : No probelms, but no need for the final comment, so I have removed it

Now what would really solve this if you could check the registery to find the key responsible. I will have a look at mine in depth but i fear i will not find it.

I've been all up and down that thing and either I'm just ignorant of some term that I should be looking for or there's just no entry for it

WM 6.5 new UI - app close and task manager.

I've tried a bunch of new 6.5 UI roms and I am facing this problem with all of them.
1. The OK button (bottom right) does not close applications. It simply minimizes them. This is really frustrating since I dont know what apps are open until i pull up the task manager. This also drains battery life. How do i make the OK button close an app? (detailed instructions appreciated)
2. The earlier UI used to have a quick task manager on the top right corner from which we could switch apps and close them. that doesnt come anymore, instead i get this new and useless notification bar. How do i make it show the quick task manager? (detailed instructions appreciated)
The above 2 make it really annoying to switch/close apps because once u minimize, the only way to go back to them it seems is to pull up dot fred task manager.
3. Pressing the home button on the device while running an app (the home iconed hardware button under the screen) takes me to the opened start menu not the home screen. when i exit out of the start menu it takes me back to the app, so i cannot access my homescreen unless i press ok on the app and minimize it, is there any way to make the hom button take me to the homescreen?
Thank you in advance?

1 & 2 : use showcase : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4030896
3 : use end button instead of home (which is an HTC non-sense, get the start menu like your rom is configured is really a better idea)

fantastic app - showcase. that solves my task manager problem, but i still have to press start, go to apps and press showcase to bring it up, can i have it mapped on the notification area so i can simply fire it up without having to go to the start menu?
thanks.

I have been having issues with Showcase not wanting to install or run properly on the newest 6.5 build 23071. If I load v1.0.1 It will work for the most part and I can configure it to still to close a program by clicking on the clock.. How ever when I switch to the newer 1.1.0 build I can not get the lower X to close thing like it should by either holding it or by setting to single tap.
I'm currently doing a hard reset because of trying taskfacade and trying to go back to Showcase.

i just installed 1.1.0 and it seems to be working fine. i even managed to figure out how to bring it up from any app. just tap and hold the win key and it comes up. very nice software.

Ya I have it back up and working. The only other issue to look forward to with Showcase is that some report it closing tmail.exe from time to time. I also map my PTT short press to open it for those programs that take the full screen and do not have the Windows icon.

You can also check out AEButton+. You have to pay for it, but it's pretty cheap. I got it last week, and have no idea why I didn't get it sooner. Haven't tried it on the newer com3 builds yet (still using com2), but I'm pretty sure it will close things. It isn't tied into the displaced 'X' button like a lot of task managers. You can close apps with a button push, and it also has a nice little task manager pop-up that you can also map to a button push (similar to the htc quick menu). You also get ~dozen more mappable button pushes on a fuze. It's really worth it, although I haven't tried a com3/4 6.5 build yet.

Newer WM6.5.1 builds such as 23071... clicking on the clock brings up the new drop down taskbar...
Running HTC Task Manager, you have to tap and hold, then release to get the task manager to shop up. Does Showcase experience this as well?
It seems to be with the new builds. I would assume Showcase would function the same.

Why don't you people just use inbuilt taskmanager.exe from Windows folder? I've configured it to open with long press "send" key (talk button), and it's working great.

I use aebutton and tie it to my Ok/Back key to close apps and it's working like a treat. that's the best way to really close apps I feel

i have a custom winmo 6.5 rom aslo, everything runs good on it, except the onscreen keyboard is useless now, all i can seem to enter are numbers only and i have messed with the input settings to see if that can correct it and so far to no avail or maybe im just one of the weird people who actualy use the onscreen compact qwerty i dunno.
