Sorry for starting a new thread. ttran has put lot of work in 7.x roms and they are the best rom till date. Excellent response time and out of the world UI and features. However it has a serious issue which is present is almost every 7.x rom.
If there a call coming from blocked number and your backlight is off (as most of time it will be) the phone doesn't ring/vibrate. Just the backlight turns on it shows the number on screen. But it doesn't ring/vibrate.
This is the issue with virgin 7.x rom installed. No additional software installed or no additional settings done. I have flashed 7.3, 7.4.1, 7.6 (with phonecanvas and without phonecanvas) roms and have issue in all of these roms. Now I flashed back to 6.5 and it is working as expected.
It is very easy to reproduce. With any 7.x rom
1) switch off the backlight if it is not already off by pressing the button on top of phone
2) call your phone from another phone with caller id blocked. (If in US, you can put *67 in front of number you are dialing. e.g. instead of dialing 12345671234 dial *6712345671234)
You will see that screen turns on and shows a private call, but it doesn't ring.
Without this working I miss several important calls.
If anyone has a solution or need more info please reply to this thread.
EDIT: Good news.. This isssue is no longer present in OTP 7.7.. I just flashed to 7.7 biggy and it doesn't have that issue. Thanks TTRAN !!
I'm using OTP 7.3 STD and this happens. But honestly I think of it more as a
special feature - since I'm the kind of guy who doesn't want to be bothered by
anyone who is blocking or has a blocked ID. Callers can still leave voice mail and
that comes with an audible and visual alert - and if I like 'em, I can call 'em back.

I third this problem,
DrStinkbomb, i have exactly the same thoughts about not answering those who want to be private, but it has its down aswell.
Just day before yesterday i was waiting for a call from NYC Police because they have fix my car for damaging it while trying to catch a suspect. They did call me back, but from a private number, lucky for me i had my phone on my desk beside my computer and saw the light coming up. Thats when i relialzed that i almost missed a very important call.
So yes it is important to get it fixed.
yea i dont answer if they block their number anyway... they can just leave a message if i dont know who it is... so this is actually a good feature
Unfortunately, with the doctors and lawyers (not to mention the couple generally paranoid quacks) in the family I foresee this being a potential issue for me. I haven't noticed it yet, but the holiday's aren't yet in everyone's mind...
Though some users like not answering calls from blocked number, however as tatail mentioned, sometimes it is very important to take calls.
Several times banks, hospital, doctor etc. call from a blocked number and you really don't want to miss those calls.
I have to revert back to 6.5 rom just because of this issue.
I hope someone knowledgeable can come up with solution.

No you're not. In fact, you're rather unapologetic about it, considering you had thought about it before doing it, and decided to do it anyway.

chill dude.. I am not complaining. I am pointing out a issue. finding out bugs is part of development process so cook can put it in next rom or people can find solution together. If you read my posts, you will see that I have been a big fan of ttran's rom. I have posted solution myself for a bluetooth issue I found in one of the earlier roms. As you would have noticed I have tried to do my part by doing debugging (flashing different roms, about 12 to 13 times with different options and finally isolating the issue)
We are in this together to make it better.

Really. With all the irrelevant posts that get stuck inside the OTP thread, you create a new one for this? Please explain to me why this would not have been better posted on the 7.x thread itself.
And no, 'I'm Special,' is not an acceptable answer.

Easy guys, no need for all the hostility. Maybe the post would have been better suited in the OTP 7x posts, but is it really that big of a deal? Either way, he is just trying to help.

No, he is not trying to help, he is trying to be helped, and if you're looking for some assistance with an issue you can at least follow forum etiquette rules as dumpydooby pointed out. The development forum is not for help, its for developing new roms, he can either post in the rom thread if he wants to help the cook debug the rom, or he can post in a forum for assistance. I think a mod should remove this thread.

No, I don't need any assistance, I don't have this issue. I think he saw there were a bunch of people that were having the same issue, so I guess that's why he posted it here. I agree, the post would be better served in the OT7 post, but I do think he was just trying to help.

i think you answered your question yourself. the OTP thread is so massive with 'irrelevant' posts that the big issues get buried. And if you had taken time to read the actual OTP thread, I had posted it in that thread (don't tell me you never read the OTP thread).
In fact ttran himself had offered to fix this issue ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2756237&highlight=vibrate#post2756237 ) . But I think because of ton's of posts after that it got buried. I did not want to bug ttran with PM's. He already has tons of things to do.
I am just hoping to find a solution collectively.
If you had not started whining about this thread, maybe we would be closer to fix which can be given to ttran so he can add it to his next rom.

What's wrong with pointing out a potentially serious issue and offering to help ?
Here are the rules from forum (in case you forgot to read them)
- ROM discussion
- ROM release
- ROM issus due to the release thread
I never said I need it fixed now. I have already flashed back to 6.5.
I am offering to help anyone and provide any required info who knows more about roms than me.

the current post is what, 12 pages? and if you cant be bothered to read the thread, and find out if the answer is already there... or even re-post there and wait for ttran to see it...
i came to this site and read everything i could find, i never once asked a question so that i could be spoon fed answers, i searched and found all the info i needed, and i certainly never created repetitive, self-serving posts in development forums
but you're right, i'm whining, when i should have just ignored the question and questioner, duly noted.
edit: also just for kicks, my phone rings just fine when the caller ID is blocked otp 7.6

Way ahead of you. My eyesight must be weaker than you since even after reading all the posts, I could not find the solution. I had reposted it couple of times in original thread. Also if you had read the thread carefully, you will find that several other people have exactly same issue. Though none of them could reproduce it. I was able to isolate and reproduce it after spending lot of time. What have you done to contribute to development of the ROM's (except trolling in forums)
If you can find solution to all your problems by searching, good for you.
This is a public forum (meant for discussing issues), and there are owners/moderators defining the rules. As per rules they permit posting the issues. You seem to be hell bent on policing the forum, and enforcing your own views (I see you just joined this forum a month back).
I had repeatedly said that this is not a "please-fix-it-for-me-i-must-have-it" thread (though it would be good to have this fixed ) since I have already switched to previous version which doesn't have this issue. In addition I am offering to help others isolate/debug the problem.
Just for kicks, why don't you try to switch off the backlight of your phone and try calling from blocked number ?
You know.... Tran did make a thread for rom issues... dont forget that, and i quote
"Please post your issues here since the original thread is getting way too big.
Also, please post your fixes for possible minor issues, this will help new users until I update the rom.
Do not post any thing else in this thread besides issue related stuff."
WOW, he even says please in his thread... what a little reading will do...
And so, the moral to this story is...
I'm not sure. All I'm getting from all
this is 'I am holier than thou'....
'nuff said. It's not funny anymore.
Hi Guys,
I am using WM6.1 ROM 3.34.721.2 WWE (OS and Radio) and HardSPL 3.29. I am finding that when the device is in sleep mode and I press the power button to wake it up, it will wake up for a split second and then immediately go back to sleep mode. If I then press the power button again, it will wake up and stay on.
Has anyone else come across this before? I would appreciate any help because this is driving me crazy.
Thanks
I have exactly the same problem
As far as i know, it is a feature builtin in wm6.1 to avoid accidental switch ON.
The latest Hyperdragon ROMS , SJ has removed that feature i think.
Give a try.
guys please post this question in the ROM thread!
the one called new htc english rom 3.34.721.2
any ways the rom also took for ages when switching to landscape mode so its a rom thing...
this thread is gonna be closed quicker then u can say: moderator!
"MODERATOR"
Hmmm, thread still open!
Anyway, just wanted to suggest: Go through the registry and see if you can find any settings related to the power / power off - have at the moment no Kaiser, got a good offer, so, looking to buy me a new one but I doubt you will wait for an answer until then!

I did search, and I didn't post it in the ROM's thread because there was nothing telling me it was a ROM specific issue!

Junner2003: Thanks for the advice. I will have a dig in the registry and see if i can find anything.
I just installed RandomKing's "ThunderHawk III Final" rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343669
I noticed I have a bug with my wireless not working, and wanted to report that, but apparently the forum prevents new users from posting to development threads. Must I really make 10 random posts just so I can do that? (I realize I may be able to PM RandomKing directly, but I figure it'd be good for other users to also be aware of what bugs are out there for these roms ...)
I guess I'm a little annoyed at being prevented from doing something that I considered "good" for the community ...

Yeah, I read through the tread, and as far as I can tell, the bug's been persistent through several versions of the rom. It was claimed that it was fixed with his latest version, but I guess not ...
The only fix I had found was to reboot the phone Today, the "app" to make calls (I think it's called "phone?") crashed several times, meaning I can't call people reliably, so I think I'm going to try a different rom. Thanks again for your help though!
same here. I'm having an issue with another rom myself, and just want to post to the developer a major bug that I am having. I read throug the entire forum post for that rom, and no one else mentioned the issue that I'm having.
its pretty bazaar that I when I answer a call waiting call no one can hear me. If I switch back to the original call, the same problem happens no one can hear me. This is only when i get another incoming phone call.
The rom i installed is for Energy Rom sense 3.5
Haha, well, if we keep posting to places like this, I guess we'll soon hit our 10 post limit
FYI for anyone that cares, I just installed CleanGB v1.1.2 (for the Epic 4G):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22241642
So far it seems pretty good. If I run into any issues, I guess I'll be posting here again xP
As already stated. There are Q&A forums for most devices. Use them.

When using the tablet with the hdmi connected, videos and what not work full screen but the ui only works as 1/2 screen. The bottom half of the screen is blank on the tv and the tablet but still has the notification bar on the bottom. Does anyone know how to tell the ui, or know what directory are the files pertaining to the ui that i can remove this? This was an actual option on a rom i used once before on my gs2 that allowed you to basically hold the screen without affecting what your touching. Please keep this in this section if possible as i think devs would come across this post eaiser.

WOW. I normally don't like bashing people for posting in wrong section, but then usually people ask the thread to be moved if in the wrong place, but you went the other way.
"I know i'm posting where I shouldn't, but my question is more important than anyone elses, and I really want the smart people to read my question as they are trying to communicate with other devs about actual development in development section."
All i can say is WOW.
What the f*** is this post and reply about?

Just somebody getting his/her behind slapped for deliberately posting in the wrong section, and even asking for it to remain there for a while because of the higher(-level) 'exposure'. Quite funny in my opinion, because:
a) the people in the Dev section frequent the other forums too;
b) the 'bashing' is rightful; and
c) the OP has been blanked out, but the reply quoted it -- it is still there for all to see.
After you've had a laugh, move on, nothing else to see. I do not expect the OP to post it again in the correct section (where this had been moved anyway).
I tried to post this in the Wicked ROM thread, but seeing as I am a new user I am only allowed to post in certain areas.
Bad policy, but policy none-the-less.
Anyway, WICKED has a few flaws and it seems as though development/release of version 11 has either been delayed (unannounced), become stagnated or just all together dropped for whatever reasons.
So, basically, I was wondering if anyone knew anything about this and if not, do you know any fixes for some small issues with the ROM.
Issues:
-- Randomly stops receiving calls : I have to restart my phone to fix this and it never happened with the stock ROM.
-- Randomly likes to re-send some text messages at boot.
-- Occasionally just freezes for up to 30 seconds at a time.
-- Sometimes, you can't answer an incoming call no matter how many times you slide over the answer button.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and sorry if some of it is old questions (I did search before signing up), I do not mean to be a repeat.
Again, I'd ask in the ROM's thread... but I am not allowed to.
I have been using Wicked Rom 10 for over 3 months, and have never encountered any of the problems you mentioned. It sounds like you had a bad install, you may want to clear data/cache before you install if you didn't do so.

You can post in the Q&A forum for your device and it is much more likely to be seen by people who can help you there. So...I closed this thread, so you can repost your question in your device's Q&A forum.
Thanks!
