hey guys, i flashed one of the WM 6.1 roms, didnt like it, so i re-flashed duttys #7b rom. was working perfectly before, however i now have two problems
1- this is the major one, the gps doesnt work! when i open up quick gps, it scans through all the ports and doesnt find anything. however, when its scanning com4, the gps light comes on, but doesnt find anything. i've tried setting it to com4 only and put the baud at 4800 and 9600 and still doesnt find the gps....whats going??
2- this is a more minor problem, just annoying really.. i got this annoying thing on my home screen (look at arrows), it hides part of the home screen, how do i get rid of this? thanks
omar
1) Dont forget to reflash your old radio also.
2) Decrease font size in settings->screen->font
hey, i did reflash my old radio... but why would that even make a difference.. gps doesnt use the radio?
and i decreased the font size, still there.. however i definately didnt have that there before even with the font size the way it is.. and the thing is, even when theres not that much stuff on the screen its still there, ie, look at this picture

Don't have a Kaiser yet, but I've been running the HTC Home plug in on an emulator and I've see issue #2. Try this:
1.) Install HTC Home Customizer (linked to in one of the CAB stickies in this forum)
2.) Run the HTC Home Customizer and go to the Options tab.
3.) Make sure the "Lock plugin on Today screen" box is CHECKED.
Now, when it's checked you'll notice the scroll bar may still show up on the bottom of the screen. This is likely because something on the bottom half of the screen is flooding below the visible screen area. If it's still there, try removing that bottom plug in temporarily. If the bar goes away, you know something in that plug-in is creating the issue.

I noticed on the Hermes page there is a HTC Home version 2.1 available for the Hermes that has been patched.
Is this available for the Kaiser? Noticed for a number of them it states uninstall previous version, but I dont really have the option to on my Vario 3.
I would like to know this too. Is there any info about it?
It works just fine.
So installing 2.1 the hermes version from:

then you won't get much, everything here is ripped from other roms and updated to fix bugs or enhance the original design. The original HTC Home had many issues such as weather was only for Euorpe, the email link never opened the correct folder, it would jsut open whatever was last opened, and there were other issues too. Someone fixed those issues, repackaged, and posted here. HTC HOme 2.1 fixed the weather app to allow any city to be added to the weather XML file.
Note: HTC Home is an offical release, but slightly modify in ver 2.1 with help from some of the users here.
I dont know what I would do without the "self made junk" it all works fantastically!
Well I will be looking to install 2.1 tomorrow over my vario 3 htc home 1.5.
Hey, I have a novel idea, lets all show up, start posting, and insult the developers and cookers here (who absolutely kick the arses of the OEM developers) and accuse their intense and brilliant efforts as being "home made junk".
I bet we get A LOT of good advice and help!
ALL ABOARD!!!!!!!!!!
Ok. lets not fight.
Does it or Doesnt it work for the Kaiser. Has anyone installed and tested it?
Does it work properly? are there any delays (processing wise)?
Does it actually make a difference, do you see and feel a difference?
Would you recommend it?

HELP!!!!
help needed, i have broken my htc touch phone...
first i downloaded the htc home v2.1 hermes cab and installed it , which all went fine but then i noticed that the brightness tab was working so i went and downloaded HTC Home v2.1 Directory And Brightness Fix and thats when things went really bad.
my phone rebooted and the screen turned off. when i plugged it into the pc after a timeout the screen came back on but if i touch it instead of getting brighter it turns off until it timesout again.
i un-installed both versions via the pc (although the UI didnt go back to the old 3 button tab home screen - still has 6)
this time a little better , screen does turn off when i touch it but it doesn't turn on either when i push the on button at the top until after the timeout.
dont know what to do now?

No idea what you did. Just back everything up without touching the screen and perform a hard reset. Hopefully you have an automatic installer when rom boots back to its original state.
can some1 test if igo8 is working nog with this home version?

This home version is probably cooked in the rom you're using.
When the device wakes up from standby it goes to the TF3D home screen, even when in a call and you need to you the 'people centric' shortcuts that HTC boast about. So when you turn your screen on during a call you have to press the small green button to take you off of the home screen and back to the call screen.... most annoying
Is there anyway around this, I have had a quick search but mostly this issue relates to the old TF3D and there does not seem to many answers.
Please help
I just tested this for you. Whilst in a call I turned off the screen and then back on again. It resumed to the call screen and not the TF3D screen as you suggest. Sorry, I have no explanation for you.
The behaviour may be different if it times out to the standby mode (whilst in a call), rather than you pressing the button.
It mainly does it when you slide the slider down and then turn off the screen and turn it on.
The other main problem is say your in MS word and the screen goes off it takes you back to the home and you have to go back to word to carry on what you were doing, has anyone managed to disable this action i was wondering if it was a registry entry but i cant seem to find any thing
Does this not annoy anyone else?
Anyone got any ideas?

As annoying as on the D1 it is , but some existing tweaks might help disable screen off.
I still need to change my D1 to D2 in the next days but will become (again) a participating member here going untill 6.5.1 with this one
Iphone had me captured for a few months, but despite the tortures given, I refrain back to PDA & HTC

I don't have my TD2 in yet but is there not the TaskManager Icon on the left top of the taskbar?
You could just click on that then on (for example) MW to get back to it instead of going back to programs and opening it. It is a pain sometimes.
Is there not an option that disables it going to the Homescreen? IDK....Just throwing things out there.
IIRC on my Elfin when I was running Touch Flo 2D, I think I had M2DC, but coud set it to go to main screen after the screen went off or stay where it was. On Onyx 6.5 rom for the Elfin after the screen locks I am back to whatever screen I was in.
There will probably a fix for this anyway.
Edit - I had a thought. If you use the Locking App I use (CAB below) there is an option where you can check if the today screen is shown after lock. Mebe if you install this and un-check that setting it will no longer jump to TF and stay in the program you were in.
If you try it let us know.
Well, some more "problems":
* remove the back for a softreset
* remove the bk for the storage card
* no d-pad
On all other aspects: better than the D1!
(and even nicer...)

Removing the Cover to soft reset will be a pain but there are programs for the like psShutXP. (not sure how it looks/works on the D2 seeing it's wvga)
I really don't see in haveing to remove the back cover for an SD card is a problem. How many times do you really need to remove it? Especially since you can throw in a 16GB card and call it good. I have to remove the back cover on the Elfin even though the card is on the side.
No D-pad will essentially be a little bump but I am hoping the screen is big enough. With the 6.5 Rom I've been using on the Elfin I hardly use it unless I feel lazy to touch.

Ah I see.... I didn't see the "" when reading..... LOL..... I just get a little frustrated when I hear about the SD card being under the cover. So many reviews online have mentioned it and it's perfectly fine. Allows for less moving parts. The door on my elfin is rather chipped from opening it so many times. I mean atleast it's not under tha battery like some phones I've owned.

PROBLEM SOLVED
It was my exchange server and the windows password that was causing the problem.
Removed the secuity policy and disabled the password and now unit does not revert back to Home screen

If you want to get rid of th elocking policy for ever have a look at Zenyee Stay unlocked...
I'm mostly annoyed by the sensitivity of the screen. It's so on par of the iPhone 3G.
Hey there i was hoping some one could help me out. I have 2 things
1.) The Battery Icon on the top bar does not update at all. It just shows a full charge no matter how much charge my phone has, When I plug it in it doesn't change to charging either. If I go to battery properties I then can see how much charge my phone has. Anyone encountered this?
2.)2 buttons on my key board are reversed. The 2 Fn Blue buttons "!" and "@" are reversed, how do I change those?
I am on rom version Stylez Black WM 6.1 Full v.3 Beta 2

It is also addressed in the faqs on the first page of the rom. Why people throw their phone in to the fire with out even spending 5 min to read the faqs is still beyond me. I have flashed my phone well over a hundred times and I still read the entire first page of any new rom I am flashing, to see what I am getting into with my $500 phone.
As far as the taskbar icons go, could be a bad flash, could just be a phone hiccup, no one else has had that problem with the rom. Try a hard reset or reflash the rom.
Thanks for the fast responses! I totally missed the keyboard fix on the FAQ, I got everything else (including the Radio from the FAQ) but that slipped by me.
now I am still new at tweaking my phone so will a hard reset restore all my setting and I will have reinstall all my programs I downloaded?
Just Figured out a Hard Reset will Erase all my Data. So no one else has had this problem...hhmmmm... It has to be one of the programs I installed, Maybe if I uninstall them 1 at a time ...... anyone else got any Ideas?
ok guys and gals, heres one for you. i know im a noob but this one has got me stumped and i cant for the life of me find anything in this or any forum or even google. i have the tilt. just flashed a cooked rom for the first time several weeks ago thanks to everyone on here and all the FAQs and stickies. (to any other noob, all the info is out there!!!!! dont be lazy!!! SEARCH AND READ YOUR HEART OUT!!!!) anyway, im running Witscheys latest 6.5 rom build 23071 HSPL 3.34 w/ radio 1.70.19.09. ive been tweakin it pretty much every day tryin to get it to the way i want.
well im so close to finishing and the the screen suddenly decided to randomly not respond to my touch. the buttons were the only way to control the phone. even after numerous soft resets. then it would decide to start responding. so i was doing some research and tried a couple diff methods of fixing "screen freezes" (but i dont think its a "screen freeze" as it worked fine with the use of the buttons) finally found a post in the thread for the room that read:

I had that same problem. Need to change the cache settings in Advanced Config. The filesystem cache defaults to 512kb, so I set it to auto and it doesn't freeze anymore. I also turned up the glyph cache to 32kb. Between the two, the phone interface runs fast and smooth.
so i tried that and it still didnt fix it. then i decided to just do a hard reset and install one app a day at a time (all the ones i had before the hard reset) to see if one of them was casing it. well after the hard reset i didnt notice the problem anymore. i was stoked. now all i needed to do was figure out which app was giving me trouble. WELL about 10 min later when i was texting my friends as usuall, my phone recieved a message but the screen was black. so i slid it open (wake on slide) and the screen turned on. replied to my buddy,closed the lid and the screen went black..... WTF? slid it open, screen on. closed, screen black.... and so forth. this is the way it has been since yesterday. even tried two more hard resets with no change.
NOW HERES THE WEIRD PART!!! if i slide it open JUST A LITTLE very slowly, the backlight turns on barely. just enuf to see the today screen but its very very dim. its as if there is a bad connection. but the screen is in portrait mode like it should be. if i open it fast the backlight turns on, screen shows portrait, then switches to landscape like it should. close it, it goes black but i know it switches back cuz the next time i open it, i can see it change again.
EVEN WEIRDER--- if open landscape, get into an app or program such as contacts where i can flick to scroll, ill close the lid, immediately flick the screen, open lid and low and behold my friends are just scrollin by!!!! the damn screen is responsive but there is no backlight!!! so to test i plugged into my laptop, activated mymobiler, and EVERYTHING works like it should when i touch the screen, use the buttons, open close the lid. it all shows up on my laptop. but the damn screen is still black when lid is closed. so i can literally look at my laptop and touch the black screen on my tilt and controll it!! WHY IS THE BACKLIGHT SHUTTING OFF WHEN ITS CLOSED!!!!???
so then i decided to tear the damn phone completely apart about 2 hours ago, check all connections, and clean all the dust. all connections checked out fine, put it back together and still have the problem. i know there is a magnet and sensor that tells the screen when to rotate when the screen is opened or closed but its obviously working cuz it will rotate the screen. my guess was that some kind of registry entry has been changed somehow. but then i realized thats not it because the hard resets didnt fix it. now im thinking hardware...... IM SO SORRY THIS POST IS SOOOOOO LOOOONNNNGGG but i dont know what else to do. phone was working great up until yesterday and i cant have this!!! has anyone had this problem with this or any other device or even know which direction to point me in??? PLEASE HELP!!! thanks in advance for any replies!!! the quicker ther better
I think your flat cable is broken. Doesn't make connection when closed (no backlight), barely connects when opened (backlight on).
So I think you need a new flat cable...
I agree with blueflame... I think it has nothing to do withthe rom flash.. it sounds like your ribbon cable is "Starting" to go.. unfortunatly it will only get worse where it wont; read you memory card, and evenutally your Sim card as well (speaking from experiance here).... If you are handy with tools, you can try to but a new one yourself and install it... But there are also some shops aroudnthe world, aswell and some members here who may be able to fix it for you... for a price (and not, I am not one of them)... Sorry for the bad news bud.. but I personally would rather knwo that than hard resettign 100 times and nrto beign able to figure out the problem...
hey. thanks for the fast replies! thats not exactly what i wanted to hear but like Teej said, its better to know than messing around with something else. now by flat cable are you reffering to the biggest ribbon cable inside the phone that connects the screen half of the phone to the keyboard half? Or the connector that comes directly out of the screen itself (meaning i buy a new screen and install and all is well) or is it another cable? but i think those are the only two that have anything to do with the screen other then the one for the sensor/magnet. here is a photo to help point out which ones. i have the manual so i can grab more photos if needed. thanks again for the help so far. good stuff. we are getting somewhere!!

Hey there everyone, thanks for taking a look at this post and (hopefully) someone can give me a bit of advice on the following problem:
I got an HTC Pure through ebay for a friend, said it had a touch screen problem (usually no problem, I just replace the digitizer when I see it). However, after I installed the new digitizer, the touch screen doesn't work except after doing a hard reset, and ONLY works with the touchflo moving through the different categories (left to right and vice-versa). Only the top half of the screen works, and it looks like it's controlling what should be the bottom half of the screen. I'm unable to get into the screen calibration settings because if I move out of the original touchflo screen (i.e., hit the hardware windows button or another hardware button) then there's no touch screen responsiveness at all. I already flashed an original stock Pure ROM, still no difference than before. My question is thus:
1. Can the screen calibration settings be accessed through a registry editor? And if so, can anyone provide some better settings?
2. Is this just a hardware problem and can't be fixed through software tweaks? Would flashing a different ROM possibly help?
My goal is to eventually unlock the Pure and install a Spanish language ROM, but I'm not going to put more money into the phone unless I can actually use the touchscreen correctly.
Thanks for any response!
Get an emulator such as Pocket Controller or My Mobiler and access the screen via your PC.
Run the screen calibration and see if that fixes it, if not its likely hardware related.
Not sure where in the registry calibration setings are but you should be able to find it with a search.
Thanks, I'll try that and I sure appreciate the quick response. Can't do it today but if it works I'll post and let everyone know how to fix it if they somehow encounter the same problem. Thanks again!
