Slow keyboard response in landscape mode?

Hello again,
Some little faults are beginning to annoy me now with my kaiser, i have the official HTC rom (you would think this would be the most stable) and whenever i type on the keyboard, it takes seconds for it to update on the screen.
I have no apps running in the background, can anybody help? or is it time to look at a new rom?

Im Having exactly the same prob mate. can anyone help?

That just started to happen on my week old Vario III (T-mob version of Kaiser) too! GRRRR

pretty much, if i cant solve this, i will get rid of my kaiser. And go back to a normal phone. Atfirst it was good, but now ive realised its as unreliable as my old XDA Mini S (wizard).
I am getting lots of niggly faults, the screen takes 4 seconds to rotate, sms slows down the phone when receiving, incoming calls always revert to ring only, not vibrate.

Clock not updating when sleeping

I've done a lot of searching, on here and on google in general, and still can't find a solution. Maybe I'm just not asking the right question...
I'm using Dutty's newest ROM, but had this problem when I was just using the stock Tilt ROM as well as when using an older one of Dutty's ROM's. I have the screen turn off after about 20 seconds, and when it comes back up the time is always off. It updates properly after about 1-2 seconds, but it's incorrect for the entire time the screen is off. This isn't normally an issue unless I want to use an alarm. With the clock not updating itself continually (like every non-PDA-type phone I've ever used), alarms don't work at all. I installed S2U2, and even with the screen waking up, once I hit the slide to unlock the phone that's when the clock updates. Not before. Any thoughts on how to fix this? Or am I missing something so obvious that I'm bound to get flamed for the question? Thanks in advance!

Mine does this too, stock AT&T Tilt OS for now, but my alarms and PhoneWeaver have absolutely no problem going off at their appropriate time. It looks like it's just not updating the video card with the current time while sleeping since the display isn't on. Not too much of a problem for me as I'm accustomed to wearing a watch, but I can see how it would be annoying for others.

Seems to me that's just normal for any computer when sleeping. My Vista machine and my Apple machines all do that too. When you wake them from sleep, the clock display is behind, but instantly updates once the system is back on line. The internal clock is still running the whole time of course, just the display does not update since the graphics system and cpu are in suspended mode.
Ya' can't very well have a computer go into power saving suspended mode AND keep real time things like screen graphics updated constantly.
P.S. My Tilt does it too, but alarms and reminders all work just fine.

I agree that the screen shouldn't need to be updated constantly during power saving mode, but my problem is that none of the alarms work, and I'm just assuming that the system clock isn't updated because the display is so far behind. I'll do some more testing today... thanks for the replies so far!

Buggy damned Tilt official 6.1...

I've flashed my 8925 twice and hard reset it once, I've tried with and without having allowed the ATT customizations, and still there's a bunch of stupid little crap that is driving me nuts. Please note: these bugs are with no additional software installed.
Can't keep the backlight from timing out. I've always disliked the default of having the screen auto dim: if the screen is on I'm probably *looking* at it, otherwise I'd have turned it off... I've tried everything, setting no backlight time out, leaving it checked but matched to the screen shutoff, it shows the right thing in the control panel and stays on after I leave that screen, but usually within minutes or especially after I've used the phone it'll start dimming at 10 seconds again--even though turn off backlight is still unchecked in the backlight control panel.
Missed calls / call log badly broken: I'll get the missed call notification but when I try to see the caller it shows the log as empty, and when I go into the log manually from the phone app it also shows empty--doesn't even have my outgoing calls.
Voicemail notification got stuck on. I can probably call ATT and have them fix this on their end in minutes but it's bloody annoying that my phone's been notifying me of a long deleted voicemail message for days.
Anybody else having any of these problems?
Anybody know a fix for any of them?
I've already tried advanced_configuration, no great help there.
What's the latest/best cooked ROM? I like that the official has stuff like Voice Command and Sprite Backup, would like to keep them...

I haven't noticed any of those problems. I have however had problems with the phone being really sluggish at times. Still testing with no apps installed. I don't have the backlight problem. I have just used the settings in Kaiser Tweak and everything is working. Not sure that I will keep using it though. I will probably go back to Hyperdragon's newest ROM's. Those always seem to work really well for me.

No issues with the official AT&T ROM either.

Are you using the right SPL?
I did not try the rom. But I heard cleartype w/ landscape problem still exist w/ this rom (like the official HTC 6.1 rom). It could be fix by replacing the ddi.dll but will probably break Opera mini 9.5.

Problems??? Pull up a chair! First I installed the ROM and none of my would work. I couldn't connect to the internet. I downloaded the ROM again and reflashed it. This time icons started disappearing on my phone. I did a soft reset. Nothing. Did a hard reset. Nothing. I reflashed. Loaded my apps, they actually worked. I set up my email, and I could connect to the internet. Great! Finally! One hour later, I got a phone call, but my phone didn't ring. Huh?Anyway, answered it, when the other party spoken it came out the speakerphone. I checked my device and there was no sound: ringtones,music games,alarms. Soft reset...Startup sound played..loaded up and no sound. Call ATT for a help, they decided to send me a replacement. Bad device, I guess. So I redownloaded the ROM and tried a different phone( i know, i know), can't get email to work, can't get MMetrics work. I quit!I will be going to custom ROM! I have a lot of reading to do.

Been using the new AT&T Rom since it was released and not having any issues. The only minor problem I have is that I'm seeing some compatibility issues with the version of S2U2 that I am using. Otherwise, good to go.

I don't get how people are having problems with this. Everything works flawlessly with me.
Except threaded messaging sucks, but with Kaiser Tweak, I turned it off.

I have had only 3 major issues with this rom.
1: Camera works, but doesn't show anything on the screen. I have a black screen, press the capture button, and I get a picture, but I can't tell what I am looking at until I take the picture. Working on this issue now. [Update] I just installed HTC Camera v5.04 b29195.00 http://rapidshare.com/files/99227062/HTC_Camera_v5.04_b29195.00__PPC_.CAB . Works Perfect now!
2. Battery life was HORRID! After 10 minutes I was down to 90%, while it sat on the desk, screen off, nothing running. After switching from 1.65.21.18 to 1.65.21.14, life was peachy. 8 hours with normal usage and only down to 80%.
3. Blue Tooth drops erratically. I connected my bt headset to the phone, made a call, after 10 or 15 minutes, it dropped the headset. BT stayed turn on, but headset couldn't be found. Turned off headset, turned back on, magically found. Haven't figured out what is causing this, but am researching that as well. OK, So I got on HTC's website to see if there was an update. There is no update for BT for the Tilt WM6.1. However, there is a fix for TYTN II WM6.0. http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=0&dl_id=60. I decided to try this fix, installed thinking I would get the whole "this program was built for a previous version" garbage, but I didn't get that. Anyway, I am going to try this tomorrow when I make my calls. I will update if I notice it fixes my issues.
Otherwise, it's fast, good signal, good sound quality, etc. Overall I am pretty happy. Will be happier when I finally get the BT to stop dropping, as I travel a lot and it's illegal to talk on the phone w/o a hands free on any military installation.... Sorry if I didn't answer any problems others are having on this actual forum, but maybe someone else will be having the same issue and see my posts for my fixes. Thanks!

zip, zero, nada.......UI is faster, apps are faster, threaded SMS is really nice to have, MSVC works as advertised with my JB2.

Different Alarm Sounds!!
I have a small WAV file that I use as an alarm sound but now can't get the sound listing in the alarm setup. I use to put it in application data/sounds. It now doesn't show up if I put it there or anywhere else (/windows, /my documents/my ringtones). Anyone else have this problem?

All my WAV and MIDI files in the root of Windows show up fine. How small is the file? 600kb is the size limit for sounds on AT&T ROMs unless you modify the registry key that restricts it. 600k may be large for an mp3 file, but that's only mere seconds of a WAV file.

I upgraded as soon as it was available and am seriously considering going back to the old WM6.0 ROM, which worked well. I have had several lockups and had to soft-reset. I have also had problems with calls. Once, it rang and shoed me the call, but wouldn't let me pick it up. Other times I have had echos. GPS lock time is also much longer. Oh, yes, the equalizer in TCPMP creates terrible distortion. It worked great in 6.0. And I am using the recompiled version.
It is great to get results of satisfaction with the new ROM, but I personally would like to know, for those who have been having problems and those, answers to some questions:
1 Which SPL
2 Which radio
3 Activesync or POP for email
4 Bloatware installed or not
5 PIE or other browser
I am sure that there are others, but those are what come to mind for the moment.

No Problems Here
FWIW, I think my Tilt is running much better with the new ROM. I've only had it (the new ROM) for a couple of days, but TT7 and Google Maps seem to run faster, and It seems to detect WIFI networks MUCH faster than with the old ROM. I'm a happy camper, at least for now.

I've noticed that its been alot slower and I don't like having a button devoted to the ringtone volume. The other HTC Tab I was using that was supposed to be an official use had Music allowing me to access Windows Media very easily now I can't. I also noticed my dialing pad is different and not the same as it was. I also don't like the threaded SMS on Windows Mobile it doesn't suit it. It makes it look very confusing and also I've noticed it has problems moving the screen upwards so that I can see what is being written in the space. Another thing I notice is randomly the HTC Home screen cuts itself off cutting off portions of the tab information. Its something to get used to but I don't see it happening cause I can't figure out what happened to some items on the phone like my GPS doesn't work, I am experiencing worse internet problems than before, Wifi dies frequently, and the dialer doesn't seem to work like it used to. Its a disappointment.

Which key? I have been hunting... and no luck so far.

Backlight timeout linked to lock??
When I re-downloaded the software and re-flashed a *third* time things seemed to work better. The only thing I did differently was skip the 'setup a password' that last time I flashed.
The phone worked pretty well all weekend, and then this morning I finally put in owner info and set a pin password.
And I just noticed the backlight has started dimming after 10 seconds (or less) again. Restart didn't correct it, nor did changing the setting in advanced config so the screen doesn't dim for unlock screen.
For now I turned off lock and went into the backlight tab and it's stopped doing it. BLOODY ANNOYING. I've seen mention of the backlight timeout bug in other forums too...
Even while the phone was working well over the weekend I noticed that fairly often the first attempt to bring it out of standby flashes the screen on then it goes back off, comes on and stays on when I press power the second time.
I ran into the idiotic bug where text is white on white when in landscape mode, know I saw something about that being a cleartype bug or something and there being a fix, but why the hell would it be released like that?
Also, I can NOT get the 'message sent' notification to disable... does 'advanced config' not actually work?

Buggy is an understatement!
Having been unable to bear/ignore the bugs I reverted back to 6.0
Here's what I along with you guys have issues with.
1)Ringtones revert back to it's default tone whenever I open: Settings>Phone
2) Back-light reverts back to 10 seconds at random and often.
3) Google maps will not display letters when searching for places, but it'll invisibly type
4) Typical freezes on pages and things of that nature
5) Bloatware..

I'll help you out here
Go into HKEY_CurrentUser --> ControlPanel --> Sounds --> FileSizeLimit ( it's a DWORD value)
Just delete the DWORD value, and bam, enjoy .
EDIT : wow, just realized this is my first post. I've been browsing the site since the Tilt came out, but I guess I've never found it necessary to post. haha!

I have the exact same problem with my 8925. My work buddy across the hall does not have this problem with his 8925. Running WM6.0 my screen has ALWAYS dimmed at boot, as well as after a call ended; his has never done so. Now, after we've both upgraded to WM6.1, I have all my same problems, as well as the additional 10 second auto dimming that I did not encounter with WM6.0, he still has none.
No matter what settings I change, no matter if connected to power, USB, or none, my screen dims after 10 seconds. I can get it to temporarily revert back to the setting of my choice, by going into the settings and then back out, but if I manually dim the phone, get a call, or pretty much anything, it defaults back to the automatic 10 second dimming. I'm so pissed off about this. S2U2 also automatically kicks in on every screen dim, so I can't use it while the dim prob is going on. Certainly someone within this HUGE base of geniuses has a definitive answer for this.

Lots of little bugs in this release.
Google maps doesn't like it.
Can't get TCPMP to work.
Gets sluggish.
MSVC doesn't notify.
Other things I can't think of now.
Pretty irritating to say the least.

Clock madness!

I'm getting really irritated at the clock doing that crazy catch-up thing when the Diamond has been in standby for a while. I hate having to wait for the clock to flick to the right time, especially when I need a quick time check...
Does everyone get this or is it ROM specific? Is there a fix?
I use Swift's v.7 rom.

Duttys ROM

You're saying Dutty's ROM fixes this?

Oh come on fellas! This must annoy you too...

i haven't had it on Dutty's ROM, though i had it on Panosha

hmm
can u tell us how long it takes on ur rom ?
on my it takes aprox. 0,5 s
on Stock ROM takes 1-2sec
butt i noticed on stock rom...when i added call history tab...it took woow...30 sec or so...so i dont use call history tab in manila

It takes around 15-20 seconds...
I don't have a call history tab though.

My Diamond has started doing something similar the past 2 days. When I push the power button to bring up the screen, the clock says the last time the screen was up, then switches to current time. A bit strange. I'm using the stock Spring ROM. Any ideas?

I've had it on most roms. Its bloody anoying! And it comes and goes.

Mine takes easily little than half a second.

I saw something wired with clock, after midnight, lets say
00:40 , it start jump 1 by 1 till it arrive to 40, somehting
like 30-40 jumps (about 20 sec, every jump ~ 0.5 sec)
did u notice to this problem/effect ?

@arix, yep mine has done that before after midnight, I thought I was just really drunk the first time it happened lol.
Haven't had the problem for some time though.

Dunno what he is saying, but I can say Dutty's Roms does not fix it. At least not for me. I had to wait about 15/20 seconds when I woke my phone this morning, for the time to scroll forward about 50 minutes. Very nice to look at but a pain in the backside if all you want to do is check the time. Worst I'd ever seen it. Usually it takes only second or two.

Well, as usual after midnight i m drunk, but I didn't know the Diamnond drunk too

Well these are more of work-around solutions:
1. I use S2U2 and then when you wake up your diamond after sleep you get the S2U2 unlock screen first. It has a clock. So, I always get the right time immediatly.
2. There are a lot of different clocks to install in the theme section too, I bet not all of those have the same problem, especially not the analogue ones.
3. Just an idea, but what happens if you minimize the clock (eg. swipe up) during this behavior?
Hope this helps

Serious TF3D - Manila Issue...

I experience this two times..
When do some usual thinks, something happened.. and TD2 not responding.. Soft reset.. Restart.. and Manila never start until hard reset.. Try everything.. Wait for a long time, soft reset, remove battery.. nothing works..
.. and i'm use latest asian 1.40 rom.. and also new radio..

I have noticed with my Diamond 2 that manila does freeze from time to time. However if I just leave it for 10-20 seconds all is fine.

Yep, manila freezes up on me a lot, especially when I'm trying to do something important quickly!

freeze
do you guys also have trouble typing when turned into landscape modus for messaging?
it always takes up to half a minute to respond accurately!
this is a little bit annoying.
(and sometimes I even have weird issues when turning, e.g. keyboard is only half there and in wrong position. issue is gone when turned back to portrait and turned to landscape the second time...even hard-reset didn't change anything...seems to be manila-related)

So you've never suffered a lag of a few seconds when using manila? Wow I get lag quite a lot, especially going to the music tab. If I'm playing through all my music in random order it takes forever just to display the current album art.
I also get a delay in keyboard feedback sometimes which is infuriating.
Try rotating the phone to landscape when replying to an SMS and count how many seconds the phone takes to react!

I sometimes get slowdown the the predictive text wheni recieve a text at the same time fromt he person i am replying too, but only for a few seconds. I have been usign the phone since the 7th, never had to soft reset, but have had to turn off/on (im guessing it comes to the same affect). And manila is just TouchFLO 3d right?

Oh come on! Try viewing or flicking through high resolution photos or viewing the music tab when you've got a long playlist or sliding across tabs as soon as you've unlocked the phone, the list is endless!

Try taking out the memory card. See if it still hangs?

It's a BIG improvement on previous TFL from Stock ROMs on Diamond and HD... I can tell you. It still obviously has it's moments as do most UIs but Windows Mobile 6.1 isn't the smoothest of OSs either so... Once we get cooking it will be much better that's for sure and I agree with your comment on another thread here, that once WM6.5 is out perhaps TFL will be redundant... but we'll see. In the meantime each to his own.

Hi there,
I haven't seen any lags on my device either...
Rom versions are different depending in our countries. That's were the difference is, I guess
HastaSSSS
P.S.- Nice to see you here, christonge. Long time no see, since the Diamond gps lag thread...
