TouchLockPro poll - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi,
currently some people are reporting problems with TouchLockPro 2.2.7, which uses the GSENSOR and capacitive sensor for unlocking.
Via this poll I want to achieve the following:
* get insight which percentage experiences problems with TouchLockPro
Hope this is going to work.
Rick.

ZR,
...USING THE STANDARD WINDOWS MOBILE DIALER (NOT HTC) PREVENTS UNLOCKING...
Something else I noticed. Because of ring delays (caller is on the 2nd or 3rd rings when my phone rings the first time), I switched to the default dialer skin. That's the standard WM6.1 phone interface. When I'm on the dialer screen when the phone wakes up (either through a call or me hitting the power button), the touchscreen stays locked (red strip will not go away) and the capacitive unlock does not work (though the buttons do).
There must be some compatibility issue with the standard dialer vs. the HTC dialer. In fact, there are several other compatibility issues with the standard dialer (bluetooth icon is gone, volume control during a call does not work, etc.), so I bet some of these problems are a result of some of us not using default HTC dialer skin.
The only way I can unlock the phone when it is on the dialer screen is by sliding the keyboard or removing the stylus.
Also, now at the end of the day, if I am on the today screen and wake up the phone, it takes about 5 seconds before the capacitive unlock works. Any ideas what could be causing that delay?

I don't remember if I had problems with v2.1 so I did not check the box. I am having problems with 2.2.7 so I posted my problems in the other thread.

well I have had problems with version 2.2.6 - sometimes it didnt lock; when I connected to EDGE display turned off etc. but now version 2.2.7 looks that its working right again

v2.2.4 so far is the one with most responsive capacitive sensor on my Dutty ROM for HTC Diamond.

ZR,
I'm still using TLP 2.1 on my touchpro.
After a few attempts to upgrade to TLP2.2 and higher, which always giving unstable feedbacks, i turn back to the more stable TLP2.1. Afterall, i don't use the features in TLP2.2 with Gsensor support and i don't use light sensor either.

TouchLockPro 2.3
Because of too may problems with TouchLockPro 2.2.7, I posted TouchLockPro 2.3, which should solve the reported problems.
See TouchLockPro XDA thread and zuinigerijder.com
Hope this version is better, as bonus I included some new cool features

Kaiser annoyances

I've been playing with my Kaiser and these are the last remaining bugs that I can't figure out:
1. No Data while using Voice. See thread in this forum for other's complaints.
2. Phone does not wakeup when a email is received. I tried following other's advice by installing Spb time, and enabling "Wakeup Tweak" and this had no effect. Phone plays notification sound, but still is sleep.
3. Phone locks keys and sleeps while talking. On my 8125 with WM5, the phone would turn off the display, but would wake up with any key press while in the call. This is kind of handy in case I want to see another call come in, go to speaker phone, mute, etc. Right now, I need to hit the power button.
4. Menu's in messaging are really annoying. It would be wonderful if there was a way to modify the menu's in messaging. In SMS/MMS the New Menu Item is actually another menu where the first item is "Multimedia message". There are other things I find annoying.
Other than these annoyances, I think the phone is really doing great.

You may not have 3g in your area, or your provider requires UMTS which you
can enabled by installing the Kaiser Tweak program.
2. Phone does not wakeup when a email is received. I tried following other's advice by installing Spb time, and enabling "Wakeup Tweak" and this had no effect. Phone plays notification sound, but still is sleep.
I like this effect since it doesn't waste battery. I'm not sure how to fix this one

Turn off fast sleep, use kaiser tweak to disable.

1. I guess from what others are saying you have to be in the HSPDA area.
2. I guess I never realized it but mine doesn't either, be nice if it were an option but I don't know if it is.
3. These are reg settings, install the reg tweaks sticky above
4. I don't quite understand what you looking for or what is the problem.
Thanks for the reply exstatica.
I have kaiser tweak installed.
For #1, which option is this exactly, I'm not seeing what option you explain.
For #3, I have "Fast Screen Off" = Disabled (Advised)
jallenclark,
If you go into Messaging and then your Outlook E-Mail account, you will notice the Menu has "MMS Options" as the last item in the menu. On 8525, WM6, "Send/Receive" was the last option. It was nice that this was the last item. Why "MMS Option" need to be on the Email account, I have no idea.
If you go into Messaging and then you MMS/SMS account, the Menu Has a New Menu Item, then two sub-items. This isn't out it use to be.
I wish there was a way to modify these items.
I think it is near the top of the tweak program, it is called Fast Sleep.
I see what you mean about the Send/Receive and I agree completely. I am sure it would be possible to switch the order of the buttons but I don't know how to program it. I went from 8125 and it was similar to this the send/recieve was 3 up on the list.
I had 0.3 of KaiserTweak, current version 0.4 has the option you were talking about. Duh moment on my part
The Kaiser has voice and data at the same time as long as you are in a 3g area.
I can stream live TV from my media center pc using webguide4 and as long as the icon shows the "H" symbol for HSDPA then I can make and recieve calls while the video streams. The audio on the video is muted until I hang up the phone but the video is still playing non the less. If I do not have the "H" icon then this will not work.
This is not a problem with the phone it is the way the technology works. Be thankful, this is only with GSM providers. Meaning that this is not even an option with the best service area with Sprint and Verizon.
I get over 100 emails a day in my line of job, if the "feature" you describe existed (wake up on email) the first thing I'd look for is how to turn it off... My Hermes did the same BTW, you hear the sound, but the units remains in standby mode.

Not quite sure what you mean but if you are wanting a send a sms you can always set one of the softkeys to "New SMS" meaning you only need to click one button to compose a sms.

1 click on the side wheel and it is back when you need it I love this system..
fast sleep makes my tilt (kaiser, 8925, varioIII) respond incorrectly.
fast sleep is a good idea conceptually but while it saves battery power, when i wake up my phone in call or after the call is over, It makes most of the home screen and the soft buttons unresponsive. I can usually fix this by putting it to sleep and waking it up one more time. Sometimes when this happens the backlight comes on only very dim. I dont see a setting for the fast sleep while in a call. Here are some steps i have tried to resolve this issue.
tried to remove all items from home screen
chose to not show owner info or notes when turning on device.
Changed power settings to not turn off device.
changed backlight to always stay on for testing.
told the device to not lock after no usage.
problem existed before i unlocked the device.
Any Ideas?
to answer some questions i can see headed my way here is the info on my kaiser.

I love my phone. Touchflo is working but tricky at times. I cant wait till the cube becomes solid. I havent tried any other roms yet.
some of the cabs i am using
attached are the exact cabs i used to install some of the apps.
I'm still annoyed that unlocking the phone (as in, unlock when it comes out of suspend with a pin, not sim unlocking) requires you to hit UNLOCK when you type in the pin, instead of the old way where the phone unlocks when you hit the last digit.
I'd still love some way to change it back.
Kaisertweak Works!!!
kaisertweak rocks. It disabled fastsleep which makes my problem not happen. I attached it.
2 issues
Is it just me or is the Tytn II's speaker behaves differently to the original Tytn and D810?
1. Go to the phone keypad, try dial a string of number quickly, the speaker will start to pop as it can not play the key sound fast enough.. This has never been a problem with my 838 Pro or D810.
2. Make the Tytn II to play a sound, after it finishes listen carefully for a noise that appears to be the speaker turning off, it seems like after a sound is played the speaker's power is continuously on for a few seconds before switching off. Again this is different and unnoticeable on the 838 Pro or D810.
happens to me too.

I get the popping. It sounds like its making the speaker clip. I didnt get it until i changed to a cooked rom. IMHO, all cooked roms have bugs....but i would gladly settle for all of the worst bugs in the cooked roms over using the att tilt rom which was loaded with bloatware, fastsleep, proxy, crappy camera, crappy softkeyboard, etc.. etc.. etc... I really dont think its the speaker. I think its the rom. Backup and try a different one if you feel like testing.
Thanks,

Randomly Changing to Silent/Vibrate on Tilt

I am running the stock tilt rom, the only thing i have loaded that deals with the sound at all that i know of is the HTC home plug in.
Randomly - at least i can't pick up a pattern, my phone is changing from sound on mode to silent/ vibrate/ sound off mode.
the plug in will still show that sound on mode is selected, but the icon at the top of the home screen shows vibrate and i have to click it to turn the sound on.
Other than casper - anyone have any ideas of how to fix or stop this?
as a side note, i have found one of the shortcomings so far of switching to the full PPC phone as the lack of sound profiles.
thanks - this forum is amazing.

No idea. That always happened with HTC Home Plugin installed on my E-Ten, but I've never found a solution. I have no problems with it on my Kaiser.
EDIT: Is it happening when you have an active appointment?
If you set the HTC home profile tab to AUTO, it will change it to silent for when your calendar shows busy.
Try a) setting phone to ringer on (with the volume icon at the top) and then b) setting the HTC profile to Ringer on.
Then try setting it to vibrate etc and it should change and then stay there.
Otherwise there are a few good profile apps you can install.
Here's what i think. Unwired's post is spot on. The HTC Home plugin has the lite profile tab that let's you choose, "sound on", "silent", "vibrate", or "auto".
"Auto" will toggle automatically between "sound" and "vibrate" based on meetings in your calendar. When you are in a meeting, it goes to "vibrate". when you aren't, it sets it to "sound".
now, this function seems to work well on the Kaiser/TyTN II. BUT, in previous incarnations of this plug in, esp in the "cooked" WM6 ROMs for older devices like the Hermes/8525/TyTN I, this didn't quite work well. It was a well documented Notifications Queue-related bug.
But, again, the Kaiser doesn't seem to have this issue. At least no one has reported it. So, double check to make sure you don't have the "Auto" mode selected. And if you still see the "random" behavior, you would be the first person having such an issue on a Kaiser that I've heard of.

I just noticed having this problem as well. I do think it happens when I am in an active appointment, but it shouldn't be happening because I had the profile set to Loud not Auto. Any thoughts?
Check out the second post from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334704
rzanology says that the HTC Home 6 button version (the one that comes on the stock kaiser) will cause the Tilt to randomly switch to vibrate. So he recommended installing the cab file I attached to this post instead. The 2drawbacks to using the HTC Home cab I attached are: (1) you only have 3 tabs to work with (home, weather, launcher), not 6 (home, weather, launcher, favorite people, music and profile) and (2) the HT Home customizer by emunutz (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308 ) does not work with it.
I'm affraid rzanology was right. i pout the 6 button version on my phone the other day and now i'm missing calls right and left. i wish there was a cab to fix this.
I have the ATT Tilt, original ROM and installed the 6 button home plugin. I DO experience the random switch to vibrate. It happens a few times a day and is really annoying! I love some of the extra buttons on the 6 button home plugin and would hate to go back to the 3 button plugin. If anyone finds a solution to this please please please post it back here!
Thanks
OK, so, on the stock TyTN II (unlocked Kaiser, not the Tilt), the HTC Home is built into the ROM and I don't have the issue. So, those of you who have the Tilt, the HTC Home was not installed by default and you had to add it? If so, then maybe its to do with the version being installed? Or did the HTC Home come installed on the Tilt by default?
My phone is an ATT locked TILT model, I had to install the HTC Home plugin. If anyone knows if there is a version of the home plugin that does not have the vibrate issue, please let me know. I just uninstalled the plugin and am trying a different build to see if that helps. Now I have to re-customize...bummer...
I used Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab on my Orange Tytn 2 and havent had a problem with it.
(On my old Hermes with the black majik rom it would sometimes switch to between profiles when I looked at appointments.)
i dont know whats causign it, it use to happen on my 8525 as well....drove me up the wall!!!!! Odly enough, when the cooks cooked it into their roms it never happened. I even tried using the same exact version as one cooked into a rom and it still happened!
I'm going to dig through the forums and try to find the version you are referring to, as long as its the 6 button version I'm all for it. the one I just tried HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.cab still has the vibrate issue. I will post back if the version you are mentioning works.
I am experiencing this issue and I have an HTC Kaiser and am running the stock HTC rom. The way that I would describe my issue is that randomly (at least I can't determine a pattern) the PDA volume and ring volume become muted when I have the 'normal' ring profile selected in the sound manager tab. I do not use the 'auto' profile and it does not happen when I have appointments in my calendar. Any one have any ideas?
I appear to have fixed the problem <knock on wood> with the latest version of HTC Home as long as I eliminate the Profiles tab.
i have the same issue with stock HTC rom. weird. didn't had this problem till i played around with the htc customizer(which doesn't work), s2u2 and Indibar
I got mine fixed by uninstalling the older version of htc home i had. I downloaded the customizer and let the customizer download the latest version of the htc home.
The one i originally got must have been one of the older versions that had problems
real annoying problem, have yet to find any solution to this
i have the opposite problem...it's on silent and i haven't touched my phone in hours, then suddenly i hear my phone ringing! it is quite embarassing when i expect it to be on silent.
I'm having this problem with my Tilt (factory ROM), where it automatically switches to Vibrate, here's what I've noticed:
I had HTC Home installed for a few days without the problem, it seemed to start only after I used the profiles tab for the first time. I don't know which version of HTC Home I installed, but most of the files in the .CAB are dated 6/21/2007, a few are 7/23/2007.
Sometimes the icon in the title bar changes to the little PDA with vibrating lines, but even worse sometimes the icon still shows the speaker but if I click on it it's set to Vibrate, so I can't just rely on a visual check.
I've tried a few things to fix this, nothing worked yet. I used the Notifications tab in FdcSoft Task Manager 2.7 to look through all the Notification events, nothing jumped out at me. So I used the Services tab to temporarily stop the Notify service, but the problem still happened while the service was stopped.
I stopped the only two services with HTC in the name, HtcServices(HSV2 and HTC Generic Service(HGS0. But the problem still happened.
Another strange thing I noticed, when I open Calendar and create a New Appointment about 2 minutes in the future (with a status of busy), immediately when I click OK, the phone switches to Vibrate. Same thing if I edit the appointment for a new time in the future.
Still loooking... but I'm about ready to just uninstall HTC Home.

WM 6.1 screen won't stay turned off

I tried the "dubai" version and the "chinese" version.
With no other programs installed, pressing the off button will briefly turn the screen off, but it will come back within moments.
Worse yet, the keyguard only guards the keys, not the screen.
Has anyone else experienced this?
At what level are you using the backlight?
If I'm correct you have to stay above 40%. It is an old WM bug.
hmm, the thing is, it's not just the backlight, but also the touch itself. besides, the problem was there without installing/changing any programs or settings.
when keyguard is activated, it only guards the physical keys, not the touch screen. this means i can poke around even when the keyguard is supposedly activated.
i have this same problem, keyguard not turned off screen, its all the time on even show is locked
version of software is 1.12-vfu
firmware version is 1.54.00.00, where i can get better version of software, maybe the software is crap ? how we know is windows! :/(more problems than using system)
Happened to me too.
I'm on a Treo 750 with WM 6.1 OS 5.2.1.19199
Keeping the backlight brightness 4 notches and above fixes it.
yap, simply keep your brightness not lower then 50% and walaaaaa all works just fine

[Prb] Touchscreen unresponsive at incoming call / SOLVED

Hi there,
After flashing my TD with panosha's Shine On 1.9, I experience some strange behavior:
When the TD is in standby (i.e. touchscreen off) and there is an incoming call, the display turns on but the touchscreen remains completely unresponsive, i.e. it neither responds to "Answer", "Ignore", etc., nor to "Start" in the upper left corner.
And that is while the device is definitely unlocked (I don't even use the unlock function as I switch to standby as soon as I don't need the phone).
In fact I can answer the call with the hardware button only - in that case the connection establishes, but the screen goes blank.
If the device is not in sleep mode, everything works as it should.
I have tweaked several settings with both Advanced Config and Diamond Tweak, but in my opinion none of the tweakings applied might cause such a behavior.
Thanks for your ideas .
ROM contains:
Answer Key Disabler v0.3.1
Hey, thanks so much!
It wouldn't have occured to me that that is in fact a desired feature of that ROM, therefore I didn't even consider re-reading its thread.
lol i think people need to start reading about the
stuff there putting on there phones.

Tomtom screen disabeling

I already made a thread about the backlight, but it seems that I only have that problem while using Tomtom.
If I use tomtom without external power, the screen blanks after 30 seconds, or whatever setting is used in the energy settings of the TD2.
When driving on external power, the screen goes blank after 30 minutes (the maximum of the settings if the TD2 isn't used.
On my diamond 1, the diamond recognized tomtom as an active application, hence the screen would stay on, until the battery was empty.
Weird thing is: if I use Coreplayer, the screen does stay on, so the TD2 recognizes Coreplayer as an active application.
More people with this problem? I have the latest official HTC rom (Dutch). Did multiple hard-resets and multiple installations of TT7 (7.910 and 7.915 versions). With or without audio-fix; no matter what: screen blanks....
Touch Incall Tweak ?
maybe is the Touch Incall tweak the solution for you? You can then manually enable backlight settings:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991!:
Hope this works for you, did it for me.
Unfortunately, it did not. I installed the app, did a soft reset and saw that TomTom was one of the applications on the list.
However, after the same period the screen went blank again. As far as I understand it, the applications on that list are the apps that should prevent the screen blanking out, when a call is coming in. But using tomtom, not always a call comes in..
So, how did you manage to get it working then..??
Honoustly I don't know. I remember I had the same problem but after a while the screen doesn't switch off anymore.
I always have the TD2 power connected when navigating and in the settings tab-more-system-energy-advanced tab you can control the lighting settings and time outs.
Must say that I downgraded to Tomtom 7.910.9185 caus' it should work a little better... I still have the big lag and slow screen refreshing problem though.
For navigating I use Nav'n go Igo (8.3.2.80621) now. Has a lag also but works better and more stable. And uses maps of 10-3-2009!
What version are you using?
TT 7.915.9196, but tried the .9185 also, but seemed to me that that version gave a little more lag than the newest. Newest is stable; the point of the arrow is the point that my car is, so thats ok with me.
Last thing seems that on car power the tt stays on now, but on battery power still disables the screen. Both versions, with or without the audio-fix, with or without the tweak.
O and I upgraded to the latest rom; no result either.
