Hi everyone. I was wondering if it was possible to disable the T9 thing on the Tmo Dash. It annoys the heck out of me!
-Dave
Oh I figured it out. Just hit ALT+SPACE and choose ABC. Problem solved!
-Dave
Thanks!
That was driving me nuts. Nothing in the manual covered how to disable it.
It was driving me crazy as well
I know i disabled it one time and i forgot what buttons i pressed to disable it. I know two buttons but i guess i'm getting old.
Thanks again for the post.

Good Afternoon
I had a new TyTN II Delivered from orange after mine was nabbed at the weekend, and i locked it remotely. When i make a call now all is hunky dory, but whilst in that call if i go to press START for example nothing will happen, so again i try another way and press X to go to the today screen to then press start, Nothing happens.
I inform my caller ill call them back, and end the call by either pressing "End Call" or pressing the Red Button, and then instantly the Back light defaults to a very low setting, and it did NOT do this on my previous TyTN II.
I have spent a fair while looking through here and google (and also MoDaCo Forums) trying to find a solution. I only know of one other person on MoDaCo who has the problem, and i have tried hard reset on the device too to no avail.
It is a Orange HTC TyTN II, so i have called them also for advice and they know about as much about it as i do.
This is a plea for someone here maybe to lend me a hand and sort this out, otherwise its going to collide with the nearest large surface in the next few days ha ha.
Thanks again for reading, and I hope someone can help me!

screen off
I select don't blank/turn screen off in a call, as I often want to enter dtmfs for mailboxes, or conf calls, downside uses a bit more battery
Hi mgr2003.
I have these options set, and it doesnt make a blind bit of difference unfortunately. I was hoping for some kind of CAB file for a fix? I dont know whats wrong with this device but its not as good as my previous TyTN II.
Sean
This question keeps being asked about once every week since the TyTNII came out. Sorry, but it is getting a bit annoying....
Once again: it´s caused by a bug in the HTC ROM and happens when a device password is set and the backlight times out during a call. Solution: disable the device password or - if you want to keep the password - push the power button twice after a call and you are back in business.....
That would be an all well and good answer but i do not have a password set on my device, so the answer doesnt justify?
Cheers for the Advice though.
Sean
I also have that problem with my tilt....when i am on a call the screen turns off..How can i disable this?
In that case I apologize for my somewhat rude reply. Your problem description just seemed to fit that bug exactly....
Sorry, have no idea what else may be causing that behaviour. Good luck, and if you manage to fix your issue be sure to let us know!
Did you use Kaiser Tweak to disable fast sleep?
Hi
I havent done anything to the device, it is exactly as shipped by OrangeUK. Its only 3 days old now, so not even had a second to do anything but use it.
Sean
I have an Orange TYTN II and this bugged me too.

Follow instructions on thread and disable Fast Sleep (advised)
Normal Backlight and Power Settings will still be active
I recently acquired a "broken" tilt and the keyboard and backlight on the keyboard aren't working. Only 2 letters on the keyboard work. The rest of the phone works fine though. So I was wondering if there was anything I could do to try to fix this without having to open it up. I've tried hard-resetting (to no avail) and thats about it. I've also looked through a lot of posts about keyboard issues, but nothing was too helpful.
So, any help is greatly appreciated Sorry if this has been answered 1000x already.
Okay so my optical joystick is going haywire.
I'm assuming there is some dirt stuck in there that is making it go crazy.
Every time I press the start button to wake it up it performs a bunch of weird actions,
like going directly to the call log, and Ive managed to call a bunch of friends by mistake..
Really annoying.
Now I've tried different roms and so on so I know it's a hardware problem,
I guess I might be able to fix it if i crack it open and clean it,
but I'm not too confident doing that.
So instead I've tried to disable the damned pad, since I never use it.
But it won't work.. The setting is turned off...
(As seen in the attachment)
...But it's STILL "working".
(And yes I've rebooted it since applying those settings)
Is there a way to shut this thing down in the registry?
I'm loosing my mind here. T_T
Edit: I'm on Winmo 6.1 btw.
yes there is, mine isn't working too good either, so I turned it off, but when accessing the Media Experience Panel it automatically turns back on.
I searched through the registry and found something out:
Search for everything OJ (short for Optical Joystick). You'll find
hklm\\software\drivers\oj\
Somewhere in there it can be turned off although I don't exactly know any more how I have done it. The only thing I know is that I have searched for OJ in the registry and with that I got my answer. I believe I removed a key. Check it out and before actually changing something don't forget to make a backup of the registry.
I hope you'll get it done.
Thanks man, but it didn't work.
I even went as far as deleting the whole OJ folder along with it's sub folders.
No change whatsoever. T_T
Can it be so damned hard to shut this bastard off?
It's seriously making my phone unusable,
and of course the warranty expired less than a month ago.
Im not completely sure if this has the option to turn it off, but give it a try anyways, its got alot of neat things in it.

Ill search for the advanced version im thinking about.
Sigh, couldn't find a fix for it, so I just took it apart and unplugged the button. And the phone is still alive, yay.
Anyhow, thanks for your help guys!

I think you can just order a replacement part on the cheap
Hi,
Yesterday when I woke up my soft buttons weren't vibrating anymore when I pressed them. At the time my config was the following:
· [email protected]
· Wildmonk's Hybrid AVS kernel <- Just flashed it
I've tried with a few other ROMs (wiping everything) and still not working. I'm freaked out.
Any ideas? I'll really apreciate absolutely any kind of help.
Thanks in advance!
is haptic feedback turned on in settings?

Indeed it is.
Vibration "works" but it's soooo soft it's very hard to even notice. There's not much of a difference between having haptic feedback on or off.
"General vibration", as in calls or whatever game, works fine, so it's not a problem on the vibrator thingy. Buttons work but vibration when pressed is just too soft (as I just said, it's hard to notice). What on earth has happened?
Again thanks for any help. I'm kind of desperate.
I just did a nandroid restore to Eclair and the same thing happens. I'm starting to think it might be hardware and I'm very freaked out...
Okay, so I've tried some other stuff and noticed the same thing happens when I long press the home screen to get the widgets/backgrounds/folders menu.
I'm trying to post everything I find out regarding the issue so others find it easyer to help me.
Thanks once again...
Hard reset didn't help either... Is something broken? It stopped working all of a sudden. No falls.
Does it make any sense that vibration in calls works but not that of the buttons? It feels like it needs more power when sending the impulse to the vibrator for 'soft' vibration. Is there a way to tweak this?
Thanks for your interest...
Not working with stock rom either... Is someone willing to help?
Thanks again.
Sorry no solution, but i have the same problem. It started after update with a Jairomeo theme on cyanogenmod.
EDIT: After restoring the Backup before Jairomeo theme update everything works again.
Hey all,
for those of you who are experiencing irresponsive back/home buttons you could try this below:
go to settings -> language&keyboard ->HTC sense input -> advanced -> calibration tool
When you're calibrating the keyboard, press the keys very lightly, after you're done you should have a better back/home key response.
At least it worked for me hope this helps!!!
Just calibrated it, see how it goes during the day and report back .
i guess it has to do with stock setting were meant for you to press it normally(harder/more precise?) to be responsive, so if you calibrate it to be responsive to light touches, pressing the keys as you would normally would make it better.
but then again its just my own thoughts, hope it helps
I didn't realise it registered the firmess of touch? Just thought it was on/off input?
Aah excellent ill try this
I wonder if this has any effect on the sensitivity while having a screen protector.
had a go should be able to tell after a days use
If anyone can test this with the Spigen Glas.T that would be great. Thank you.
Doesn't work im afraid . Its definitely a software issue though, hence you can lock and unlock and the buttons work again. Confident it will be fixed in the next update.

so this problem with capacitive home/back buttons is REALLY pissing me off.
went to sprint store, asked to see their display unit, told them the problem i had. guy said "I NOTICED THAT TOO". used their demo unit, EXACT same problem. Talked to some people on IRC who also noticed it.
*really* hope its software-fixable because I love the phone otherwise
It worked for me. Seems either way it's a software issue.

Will test it a bit more but it seems like it worked for me.
Thanks TC!
I've used adb shell # getevents to see that FREQUENTLY tehre is just no event generated when pressing the home and back buttons. It *is* a hardware problem. I've never been so annoyed, displeased, or disappoined with a phone. I'll be returning it. Even tho the model I saw in the store had the exact same problem. If my next one has same problem I'll give the ol F**K YOU to HTC and not look back.
Also, havent found a way to get software keys on it...which MAY be an acceptable alternative to broken hardware buttons

an OTA released here in Taiwan , and seems it got this issue fixed. I don't have the phone but I suppose this will go to your phone soon. If it does't please don't bash me:cyclops:

What OTA is that specifically? And did it specifically say it fixed that? This is clearly a widespread problem.
