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!
Hi,
I'm having many issues with my Blade S6.
Home key stopped working, unable to hold down and switch apps, no notifications appearing. I re downloaded the latest update in hope i would just be able to manually update but it promts "update package is not matching, please checK'
I did a factory reset from the os and recovery and still the same problems exist.
Any suggestions?
Long press on home will start google now, long press on menu button will start recent apps. For update, you are doing something wrong, but we need more info...
Try reading this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3018031 and use it for all questions.
Yes it has previously been working fine with those actions. Also now I can't bring down the toggle bar from swiping down from the top. Also I get no lock screen even though I set a password.
I have attached a screenshot of the update error. Maybe its a build prop error...my blade is from Australia
First, please forgive me if there's a sub thread for this phone. I didn't find it, and the help saying use the device forum went back to the menu where I already didn't find it. ?
My issue is that my HTC 10 suddenly decided that every press of the overview button will now activate split screen, not just long press. I remember when I first turned this function on there was an option did I want it to activate split screen on normal press or long press, but now I've spent two days on Google and cannot find this option! I can't seem to turn the function on or off as the help pages refer to menus I do not have. (Device and Multi window - they aren't there!!) and other help only tells me that long press should be working. I've had no updates since it was last working normally.
Please, anyone know where this option is hidden?

Go to your application manager and find the app(s) that control split screen and clear data and wipe cache.

Any ideas what I'm looking for? I had a scroll through and nothing jumped out at me to be the service the controls this feature. Then again, they have names that aren't particularly intuitive.
Update - Looks like I found it, thanks. I cleared out system UI and it's normal again. Still odd that the option vanished, it was definitely an easy menu.
Hello,
After a few days of using the phone, I installed Lightning Launcher and set it as default. I got some bugs with the lockscreen (i'll explain later) so I reverted back to the Xperia original launcher.
Now, after not using LL, I still have that same issue. I'm pretty sure it hasn't anything to do with LL or anything, but I prefer mentionning it just in case.
(tl;dr)
Whenever I press power button, it is supposed to immediately scan the fingerprint. It doesn't anymore and instead of the normal lockscreen I have a completely blank screen, only with Back and Home button.
Finger is not scanned, I can't swipe in any direction BUT, if I press the Home button, lockscreen shows up (it slides from the left side), as if I already swiped to the right.
That's pretty annoying when the purpose of fingerprint scan is to immediately unlock
Got any idea ? Somebody has the same problem maybe ?
EDIT:
Okay my bad. I uninstalled LL completely and the problem didn't show up anymore. I reinstalled because I remembered it can also be used as a lockscreen, and i disabled that in its settings. I'll check if problem continues but if not, I'll come back to inform about it.
Hi, in the latest version of the camera app i can't find an option to take a picture istantly when double pressing the power button. I'm able to open it when using the gesture but the new app lack the option to snap the picture once opened. Is there a way to install the old version of the app?
I tried to install an older apk with "app clone" but unfortunately it crashes on start up, no matter what option i select for the cloning process.
The feature they removed made my life so much easier at work so i would like to find a solution/alternative, anyone can help me solve this issue?
