New roms cause text input boxes to be blank when using hardware keyboard

hey ya'll, I was wondering if anyone else is having this issue or if it's just something wrong w/my tilt.
So all the new roms newer than Dutty's apr29 rom (jun 9 dutty, L6-L8, etc) all have this issue where when slide out the keyboard on my tilt, any/all text boxes become blank!
Say I'm in IE or Email, i'll be typing something into the address bar, or the message section of an email, slide out the keyboard, and all the text in any input box becomes blank! It's all still there, however, because when I slide back, the text comes back. it's like it change the font to white (text boxes have a white background).
I tried searching for stuff, and I foudn the idea of disabling xt9 (because I was also getting the weird space bar issue where typed text would be like "an dthe niw ent") -- but I'm on the new L8 light rom (doesn't have diamond keyboard, or xt9 inputs) so I no longer have that issue, plus, there's no xt9 registry on my device now anyway.
anyone have any suggestions? thanks!!

I had the same problem. All I did was disable ClearType and it fixed the problem. Try doing that and see how it goes. Hope this helps!

Try disabling ClearType (Start -> Settings -> System -> Screen -> ClearType).

ah, perfect, thanks!!! any idea why this happens though? just a bug in some roms or wm6.1?

Thanks I was just gonna post this. Dutty's first WM 6.1 rom had no problem but I updated to a new Diamond rom and had the same problem.

Any other ideas?

Desactivating TF3D

Hi everyone,
In order to install SPB Mobile Shell 2, to test, I wanted to prevent TF3D from launching at each startup. I know there is a way ot desactivate it but will it remove the program from the memory ?
Does anyone has an idea ? I took a look on google but did not see anything.
Thanks for your help.

Start>Settings>Today>Elements>untick TF3D......it´s just another today plugin. BTW TF3D runs fine with MS2.1 on my Diamond.
Nevertheless I have TF3D now disabled - to much of a memory hog. Back to PocketBreeze, BatteryStatus and SPB PhoneSuite together with MS2.1.

Do this to completely avoid TF3D
1. Hard Reset your Diamond (backup before of course)
2. After setting Time Zone and PIN, you see the "3 second" warning for installing HTC apps. Hit the RED soft reset button before the end of the 3 seconds to reboot. After reboot, you now have a clean WM6.1 without TF3D.
X. To bring back TF3D, just do another Hard Reset and let the TF3D install.
I do this myself and have clean WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1
Now I don't have the Blue-Tooth problem (due to TF3D Music Player)
And seems more memory to use than with TF3D

Oki, It seems a little bit hardcore but why not, I will try this.
Thanks for your help

Hi, i just got my diamond yesterday it hanged because i am a newbie and tried several things i do not understand and it suddenly hanged.
I tried the reset it by the small red button, and everthing seems to work fine. Howerever i am now not able to see the Big Digital Clock on the Home page. Pls.. advise on what to do.
I am thinking of doing a hard reset, but i do not know how... What are the risks on doing this and how to do it correctly.
Thank you...

What do you see instead? Nothing? Small clock? Bit more info would be useful....

Problem with SPB Pocket Plus & WM6.1...?

Hi there
Does anyone else use SPB Pocket Plus (latest version V4.0.2 - Dec 07) and WM6.1 and suffer the annoying problem where the today plugin icons don't pickup correctly after a reset?
It's easily fixed by clicking to refresh all tabs, but surely it shouldn't do it???
I'm also suffering a problem whereby not all text messages are received by my phone. (I posted in the General section with no joy - am hoping that you software guys may know if something conflicts?!) It's very strange as the phone lights up as if a text is coming through, then nothing happens. I've tried a Hard Reset and restore to no avail.
Wierd thing is, my mate has a Kaiser on Vodafone UK (V1615) running WM6.0 and he has the same problem - I'm on O2-UK so it's not a carrier problem.
I set his Kaiser up for him with much the same software as mine, including SPB PocketPlus V4.0.2...
I also (I know, I'm sorry!) have a problem with the today screen if I change things... For example, if I change the backdrop via Pictures and Video's, more often than not the phone will hang requiring a stylus reset. Am wondering if this is SPB PocketPlus related???
Any idea's? (Sorry about the multi questions!!)
Cheers

sorry about the double post!

As far as the PocketPlus, I am using it and I haven't had a problem at all with the icons or anything else for that matter. I haven't had any problems with the txt msgs either. You may need to reset the mms server?? I don't know about that, I just remember reading about it in another thread somewhere... As for the backdrop change, that's not a pocket plus related conflict. I am not sure what else you have installed, but I have changed mine multiple times in the past 2 days and haven't had a single problem or anything that told me I had reset or that I needed to soft reset the phone. I would suggest unistalling the Pocket Plus and reinstalling it. I know that I have had to do that before because of one of the other SPB proggies i used had changed some values in the registry for it. Otherwise, I would contact SPB, they would know how to fix it. Unless you didn't purchase it...

Hi Killerbeans!
I'v tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times to no avail unfortunately
The only other things I have installed (all bought and paid for!) that startup with the phone are SKTools (set to performance optimisation) and Kasperski AntiVirus...
I might try uninstalling those and SPB and reinstalling them one by one...
Cheers for the response though!

I have been havng the spb problems since 6.1 installation as well (I am with AT&T in the US, original Kaiser).
Thanks for pointing out the "Refresh All Tabs" option...I have to stupidly admit that I was not aware of it and I have been fixing the icons one at at a time....very boring...However, I have no solution to offer to the problem, other than to verify that it is a real one.

Hmm running fine on my kaiser with the hyperdragon roms...
Are you using the "close button" plugin? if so, did you enter tmail.exe and poutlook.exe as exceptions? don;t doing this could lead to problems
for the icons, I have the same problems too sometimes, did you install it on main memory? are the missing icons from programs installed on storagecard?
there is an option under today plugins->advanced, "refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." try enabling that and see if it helps

Hi guys!
Thanks for the responses! It's 'good' to know it's not just me having the SPB problem, although not good that it's happening at all!
I've installed it on Storage Card (as I have since my Wizard days). Using SKTools I've set the SDDeamon to startup 1st so was hoping that'd sort it... it didn't
I'm glad the refresh all tabs helped!
I've added those exceptions Bartus so I'll report back! I have the refresh icons when storage card inserted already which doesn't seem to work. It is the apps located on the storage card that don't load though so it has do be something to do with that.

Go back to 4.0.1 it doesn't have the problem.

Hi Sirooga
I'll give that a try, if I still have it on my HDD!
Cheers!

Today Plugin Problems
I also use pocket plus on my Tilt, and it is apparently version 4.0.2 build 6227. What really annoys me is that the today plugin worked perfectly on wm 6.0, but after that &[email protected]#! 6.1 upgrade, it works fine for a few hours after I installed a lot of programs and soft resetted a bunch, until I backed up my phone. After using sprite Backup 5 ONCE, it deletes all my tabs and icons in the plugin and doesn't remember them no matter what I do. It still is checked in the today plugins menu, but it isn't there as there is nothing for it to show. SPB's got some serious work to do.

Today plug-ins shoud be installed to Main Memory.
Spb 4.01 works far better than 4.02 IMO.

[Q] Phone freezing when closing text messages, with all WM6.5 Roms

First of all, sorry if this is a re-post. But after searching all morning, I couldn´t find any solutions for this.
My phone constantly freezes after I check my text messages, when closing.
This happens with all WM 6.5 roms I tried so far (and believe me, I tried many).
Is there a fix for this? Anyone else experiencing the same problem?
I do have a lot of text messages stored. Is it a capacity problem of some sort?
Thanks in advance for you help.

i have the same problem, it freezes for like 1 minute after hitting the X or menu>close after sending an SMS in native windows SMS threaded mode.
it works fine in manila but if a incoming call interrupts your text it would be gone after the call...

first of all you have to remember that WM 6.5 is not for the HD and is being ported so there will be issues, however I dont seem to have this issue at all and am using Duttys 6.5 v4 ROM which kicks ass.
It does seem to be a strange issue though. How many texts do you have stored. I have ad 600+ (incoming and outgoing)
does the manila work fine for sending? as this backs onto the WM interface i would expect some issue here

Thanks for the replys guys
I also have 600+ messages as, for personal reasons, I should not delete most of them.
I'm using standard wm interface and sending and all works fine. Only issue is that phone completely freezes when I hit the X for closing the messaging window. Sometimes it freezes for a minute or so, other times I have to turn the phone off and on again.
At first I thought this was a wm6.5 glitch, but now I see not many ppl has this. I will flash rom again and strip my phone from all aditional apps I installed. Maybe one of them is causing this...

Well I have a WM6.5 Rom working on my HD for already 2 weeks now and it's working perfectly. I don't have any problem with the sms as you describe. But i don't have them in threaded mode cause I don't like it. Have you tried to change the view to normal mode to see if the problem persists? Have a quick check and maybe it works that way without the freeze. Just guessin...

I am using threaded with no issues. If your going to go for a ROM hit up on duttys new 6.5 there is an issue with the weather tab after install but tere is a cab to fix.

I have the same problem. I am using Miri v.23.
I never had this problem before on wm6.5.
I think it is the new HTC Task Manager I did not have this problem on Miri v.20

I have the same problem on dutty R5 (and had the same on R4), I also think it has something to do with task manager because when it's "freezing" I'm able to open start menu, but not to open task manager nor to go on manila...

i have the same problem on dutty's R4, R5 and miri's v23 maybe it's about task manager but i flash back to winmo 6.1 i got no problem with version 2.1

how do you backup and restore your sms when flashing the device?
for example PIM Backup is known to make problems...
change to normal sms, then backup, restore in normal mode and after change back to threaded. maybe this will fix your problems...

Not showing new recieved sms messages

Since today (I think after installing XT9 keyboard) there is no notification anymore in the SPB Mobile Shell panel, if I have recieved a new text message.... On top of the screen the little icon of a enveloppe can be seen but the sms notification picture in SPB mobile shell stays empty.
Anybody an idea what causes this problem???
edit:
Problem got worse: now I cannot even sent text messages anymore (I can make a phonecall, I can use mobile internet)
I'm using the latest Dutch Generic Rom.

Hmmm, I used to have the same problem (the original, not your edit) due to a clash with XperiaTweak - you don't have that installed do you?

I actually do, but that went perfect since today..... But I've been using XperiaTweak already for a few weeks now and never had this problem..
The sms problem seems to be random.... Sometimes it does send a textmessage and sometimes it doesn't... Strange, maybe an overload of the sms server???

I think you should try to uninstall XperiaTweak and see if the sms icon lights up again. I had the problem 3 times and all 3 times it was a clash with Xperia Tweak. I'm pretty sure it didn't happen at first either, so I'd recommend that.

I'll try that

No succes, it's not XperiaTweak.
I think it's XT9 keyboard, which is also in It'jes roms
Or maybe the TMC software...

I uninstalled the XT9 keyboard because it screwed up my slide out keyboard. The hardware keyboard just echoed random characters no matter what I typed. The problem did not happen when I initially installed it. It took a while of use before the problem surfaced. Once I uninstalled the XT9, the problem went away. I'm using standard R3a.
So, I would be very suspicious of the XT9 keyboard since it is a beta software.

That's rubbish it didn't work, apologies for making you uninstall it! Perhaps it is XT9 after all.
p.s I'm sure you soft-reset after uninstalling XperiaTweak but just in case you didn't...

Try to de- and reactivate the "Messaging" Today-Plugin.

I had this also, try this:

It fixed mine.
