Greetings fellow tweakers,
I am having a problem with my newly acquired US-version T-Mobile MDA Vario (aka HTC Wizard).
For some reason, I can't get ANY 3rd party SIPs (software input panels) to work with this damned thing. NONE. I have tried at least half a dozen (Calligrapher, InterKey, etc.), and the result is always the same. The SIP installs, and when I click on the SIP icon, the option shows on the popup menu (although that menu takes FOREVER to display). Then, when I try to select it, the device reverts to the default keyboard SIP and the one I installed never works.
I once had this problem on my older Wallaby device, and it mysteriously went away. Is it possible that I have a corrupted DLL or registry setting somewhere?
Is anybody else seeing this kind of problem?
Thanks, and happy hacking.

This is a know problem with the WM5 devices. I had the same problem.
Luckily Fitaly made a version 4 which doesn't have this problem.
All the other alternetive input methods suffer from this problem.
A small workaround: Soft reset and then choose the SIP of choice before opening any other programs. Works most of the time. Sometimes Todayplugins can interfere.

I've tested a bunch of SIPs, and there's several where after the install, you need to soft reset first. Some of them actually do this for you (TopKey was one of them, I think).
I know this topic is months old, but I have recently run into this issue. I'm using Molski's WM5 v3.3 and am getting the EXACT issue as the 1st post recounts.
I install calligrapher, soft reset, run anything, click the keyboard icon (in order to change input methods), the PDA pauses for 7-12 seconds, menu pops up, I click on calligrapher, the keyboard icon remains and the input method doesn't change.
I absolutely LOVE calligrapher, and this is really worrying me on this AKU version.
Is there a fix for this or another AKU3.3 ROM that allows calligrapher to work?

Hi all
I have a BA with WM2003 installed on it. A few days ago I upgraded it to WM5 and everything worked like a charm.
But I coulden't live without the Danish keyboard so I downgraded again using the guide that's on the Wiki. I used the official rom from Dangaard: nordic_1.40.551 and I did the downgrade without any problems.
But when I receive an incoming call and I hit the green call button my BA hardresets, It's the same thing when I'm on the Today screen and hit the call button then it hardresets also. I tried to upgrade the radio_rom to version 1.15 but that didn't solve the problem.
So now I don't know what to do, so I hope that you could help me out...
Go for wm5 and use Resco Keyboard pro

I did that but I needed the danish letters on the hardware keyboard, I tried to use the "BA_AZERTY_Hardware_Keyboard_Patch_for_WWE_ROM" and change the keyboard layout to danish but that didn't work, of course I could try WM5 again if someone could make a danish hardware keyboard patch that works...
I upgraded to WM5 again but the problem still resist, it even reset's after I have choosen "lock all buttons except power button" and put my BA on standby and the press the call button, it just reset's everytime I press the call button.
Could this be a registry problem??? It is just a thought I have...
BTW, it's a Qtek 9090...
Hi,
I had the same problem. In the thread of helmi wm5 upgrade, you will find several patches, such as improving wifi connection and chache improver. I installed this patches incl de powermanagement patch and the problem was solved
used to have same problem
yes, I think it is a known issue. I used XDA IIs with 2003SE and it had that problem... I couldnt find any pattern though...
I upgraded to WM5, and now it doesnt happen anymore...
So, it must be something on 2003 Rom.
Most of you would have upgraded successfully from WM 2003 rom to various WM5 rom. For me, I started using Helmi's 1.30 rom, 1.32 rom, 1.4 and 1.4 vanilla rom, Xplode AKU 3.3 and 3.5, and just on Tuesday, tried Helmi/Logout rom (I choose to call this rom as such as pointed out by Helmi, Logout had used more than 90% of his work).
All the roms are great, but each had given me some problems, due to the fact that I have many programs installed, nothing to blame Helmi, Xplode or Helmi/Logout. All the roms when freshly installed gave me very stable results, i.e. BT and Wifi on off. From Helmi's 1.4 rom, I got to enjoy A2DP. From Xplode's rom, I got to enjoy clean basic BA WM5 rom. From Helmi/Logout rom, A2DP and stable BT and Wifi on off.
This the experience that I want to share, and I hope you will find this useful.
For all the roms so far, what I did was to hard reset, flashed the rom, test that BT and Wifi can on and off, and start installing all my other apps one after another without soft reset, unless the app asks for it. Along the way, I will find that BT and/or Wifi will not start.
With Helmi/Logout rom, I did the same as above. After a number of apps installed, I experience again either BT and/or Wifi problems. Then something hit my mind! Why don't I do a soft reset after each app installation and after that, check for BT and Wifi power on and off. Guess what, I managed to install majority of the apps to my BA and BT and Wifi still powers on without problem. Here's a list of apps I have:
1. PocketZen Phone
2. Pocket Dashboard
3. GPSGate
4. Mapking 7
5. Garmin Que
6. Spb GPRS Monitor
7. Spb Time
8. Spb backup
9. Spb Imageer
10. Resco Explorer
11. Resco Audio Recorder
12. Virtual Pool Mobile
13. Bubble Buster
14. SKTools
15. XCPUScalar
16. GB-Soft Tweak
17. Tengo Thumb
18. Bejeweled
19. Ezdial
20. Lexisgoo English Dictionary
21. psShutXP
22. Styletap Launcher
23. MS VC 1.6
I still have a number of apps that I had not installed but with 23 in and still running fine with BT and Wifi, I'm very satisfied. So I suggest to those who complain about BT and Wifi problem, or any other problem, try what I had done, i.e. do a soft reset after installation of each app and share with others your success.
Hope all of you will find this useful.
Cheers and thanks to Helmi, Xplode and Logout.
Damn, noone figured that out before, that some apps may screw the settings!! :| Gotta do some tests...
So basically we should not bother with preparing an Ext Rom with all the programes we want, and instead Install and Soft Reset each one seperately?
I'll try it next time i flash my rom, thanks!
That was a good share zard!
WiFi now misses firing up in the helmi/logout ROM when it used to be working fine, unfortunately I didn't know which program I installed when it stopped working.
Just some thoughts, if somehow bluetooth/wifi registry settings gets screwed up after prog installation without soft reset, would it help if we change registry file type from hive to file-based? Registry changes gets written immediately each time with file-based, that is what I read somewhere.
Anyway, I really wouldn't mind doing 20+ soft resets just to get that 100% WIFI/BT powering up!
Thanks again!
Fast Battery Drain Problem found
dear all
we Really appricate your post since i have found AKU 3.5,rom 5.04.10wwe

Hi Zard
Hi Zard
Thanks for your information, it is very useful.
I am also running on Helmi's / Logout's rom.
I managed to install a lot of programs without affecting BT/WIFI.
I can turn both on / off without a problem. However, I have problem with BT, I can not have two BT devices connected at the same time. When I have my BT headset connected and I try to connect to my BT GPS receiver, it will not work!!
Do you have this problem or do you have a solution for this issue? I did not have this problem on Helmi's 1.4 rom (did not try vanilla though).
Thanks again.

I don't know about what is the difference between registry file type of hive and file-based but whoever knows and can do something about it would be good. Though it was terrible to do so many resets and I guess its worth it after all.

I just tested MS VC 1.6 and the incoming call alert seems to work only when Notifications is set as 'Annouce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'. Probably, the BT is still not perfect but still, I'm more than satisfied with the BT now since A2DP works for Media Player, Mapking 7, Garmin Que and even voice dial through Mic of BT headset and voice instructions from BT headset when you activate MS VC 1.6 through the hardware button. Voice dial won't work through BT headset if MS VC 1.6 is activated from BT headset. I'm using i-Tech Clip radio BT headset.
just yesterday, i had that same old problem of BT not turning on... after countless soft resets after either turning BT on comm manager or BT settings, it still wont turn on. wifi is ok, just the bt. so i gave up and went on my day without BT. and just now, after reading these latest posts, decided to test BT again. and it works fine again! no new app installed, nothing changed. it had also happened in the past. hmmmm got you all thinking again i wonder
how do u guys manage to install application in Helmi AKU 3.4 v1.4? Using EXE or CAB?
i just flahsed mine yesterday and when i try to install CAB...it seems that the application is NOT installed correctly..
Hi all,
can anyone let me know where i can find this rom (Helmi/Logout) and may be some installation instructions ?
Thanks in advance
Chris
have u checked thru the forum?
the link for logout rom is existed inside helmi v1.4 thread too.
I work for a Japanese company, so I've added support for the language to WindowsMobile phones several times and never had these problems.
I install LetsJapanNo6 on a Tilt that's been upgraded to 6.1 and as soon as I type a few keys (regardless of the SIP used; even before any extra are loaded) it flips out and starts "typing" garbage and the only way to stop it is to soft reset. I've done a lot of other stuff without typing, and that seems to be the only time it happens. I tried installing IME_31J_QVGA_F first and making the necessary reg edits, but that didn't change anything.
I thought my files might be corrupt, so I re-downloaded them from a few different locations. I was going to use Effy's solution, but it doesn't have the type of SIP my people like to use.
Hmm... I remember I saw exactly the same behavior you are describing a little while back on my Tilt. If I remember correctly I was trying to install ookii.org's pocket dictionary and not LetsJapan at the time though. I never figured out what the deal was though as got rid of the device shortly after that.
I used to use LetsJapan on that same phone all the time without any issues, but I think that was before I upgraded to WM6.1, so maybe it is a issue with the WM6.1 rom for the tilt? I know it is not an issue with WM6.1 in general because I have LetsJapan running on my new Fuze without any problems.
If downgrading to WM6 is an option, you might try that and see if it works.
Try IME for WM6
Frode Aleksandersen ported or emulated IME on WM6...
I initially found it here...

Frode has another version of it here...

It's really great. Thanks Frode!
Hi,
I am newbie, and have come into an issue, which probably has been solved, but unfortunately I cant seem to resolve.
I have installed the Bhar's WM6.5 5.2.23037 ROM after unlocking my phone using KasierUnlocker on my HTC Tytn II - UK ORANGE Version and my keyboard (hardware) isn't functioning properly. It seems to only type certain letters - Q E U O F H L, and hardly any of the function buttons work. I have tried searching through threads and having no joy, and have also attempted to use keyboard fixes and still no luck I am really baffled what to do next really.
Could someone guide me on how to resolve this problem.
Regards
Mani
Try to install this cab.
Hi, Thanks for the cab file. Installed it and still had no luck. Remains in the same state and only those keys on the keyboard work.
Really strange and im baffled what to do
