hey whats up guys i need some help really bad i dont understand why my phone wont vibrate anyone got any ideas?
1st idea is go post this question in the kaiser general form, you shouldnt have started new thread for this here. secondly if you have reflashed the factory rom and it still dossnt work then you have to make sure the motor is still good or that maybe it didnt come unplugged.
Hard Reset and see if it fixes it! What did you install before the vibrate thing went away?
FIRST, you should simply soft-reset your device and see if it does the INITIAL vibrate the moment it turns on and starts to boot
if it vibrates on soft-reset, it is most certainly something you have installed that is killing WinMo's ability to make your device vibrate...if it works on soft-reset, you will also know that the motor is good
in case it doesn't vibrate on soft-reset, this likely implies a hardware problem but COULD also imply a mismatched SPL+Radio+ROM combination

Hi,
Own a 8125/Wizard, and it never vibrated on startup/reboot.
So, my 8925 is annoying the heck out of me when it vibrates on boot!
Any way to disable it? Doesn't seem that a registry hack would process the desired change so early in the HTC startup sequence. (Sorry if this has been asked before -- I couldn't find it in a google/wiki search.)
Thx.
Yes, it has been asked for hundreds times before; and still has no solution. You can always put it (Kaiser) in your shock if you find boot up vibration is annoyed; or you may want to take out the vibrator, too.
I don't find it annoying at all. I find it really informative so in case I turn it off and I accidentally turn it on, if I feel that vibration, I can quickly take out the battery before any sound can come out of the phone.

How often do you need to reboot? Other than software installs I rarely need to reboot, is it really that much of an inconvenience?

Put it in my shock?
It was asked before? Sorry -- didn't see anything related, using searches on "disable" and "vibrate" and ("*boot*" or "*start*").

In this case, it's an inconvenience. (But if it were preference, would that change the question at all? )
I've been needing to reboot my Kaiser frequently because of a battery drain problem. Reboot triggers the vibrate, which is not helping my low battery situation.
I don't turn off my phone -- I always keep it on (unless it dies as described above), and charge every night. So, I don't need to know when it turns on. The vibrate notification on boot is only wasting battery for me -- even without a drain problem. (But I wouldn't want to permanently disable the vibrate, in case I need vibrate mode once every ~2 months or so, like in a noisy environment.)
Put it like this guys -- was there ever any good purpose for when your computer beeps on boot? Just because it can, does that mean it should? Default should be 'disabled'. Otherwise, HTC should at least provide us with an OPTION to disable! Just like the bios option to disable a computer speaker's beep on boot.
As to battery drain, that's another issue. (If anyone is curious, it's the original 1350 mAh, and it's heating to 108 F using up to 650 Ah. Haven't isolated which app might be doing it. Tried WM5 and WM6 roms. Hard resets. Reflash. Disabled BT, GPS, HSPD, and took all apps off auto-download data. Ordered new 2400 and 1600 mAh batteres, in case my battery is fried.... but I think that's just me being optimistic.)
Computer beeps on Startup

I don't know about the whole vibrate on startup thing as it does not bother me since I rarely re-boot the phone, but the beep on start up on a computer did originally (and possibly still does) serve a good purpose. The beeps were used to convey error codes. For example, on one of my old pc's, 1 beep meant things were ok. two beeps indicated an error in the processor, etc.
I know this was off post... sorry
Today I got my Kaiser back from repairs. I got my mainboard replaced because of connection issues. It came back with it's original 'software'.
After installing Hard-Spl (white screen edit) I successfully flashed "Dutty's Official WM6.1 5.2.19209 Release" to my Kaiser.
I wanted to Hard Reset my device using the soft-buttons and soft-reset method, but it seems to be broken (?). I managed it in the past (before flashing and repairs) but for some reason it doesn't work anymore. Soft-resets and Bootloader mode still work.
Anyone got an idea?
Thanks in advance
P.S.: In the meantime I hard-resetted my device by going to Settings => System => Clear Storage

Few Tricks, Make sure you are not plugged in USB. Make sure you are not "fat fingering it." Some people use chopsticks to be sure. And Hold it for long after the Screen goes Black.
Believe me, I've already tried the things you said.
Although I successfully mananged in the past to hard reset my phone, I checked the threads and the following vid:
How To Hard Reset Kaiser:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZPzT_L2FZQ
Usually I am the problem, but this time I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Just wondering:
Which part of the Phone (ROM) is in control of the Hard Reset part? (e.g.: Bootloader, Radio Rom, Regular Rom,...)
Use "Clear Storage". It does the same thing.
Also, JM is most likely correct. It is most likely an issue of how you are pushing the buttons. Make sure you hold only ythe soft keys first, using your fingernails, then push the reset tab on the bottom & hold it. Don't just push the reset & release, but keep it held down.
Based on your previous message about your phone being haunted - mine is too btw, I think it's because the soft buttons aren't being acknowledged by the OS - which implies some REAL big problems.
I took mine back to the T-Mobile store today where I got told that it needs to be sent back to their workshops to fix it... and then got told that "mostly they just send out a new phone".
My phone is exhibiting the following symptoms.
1) Green and Red phone buttons do not work.
2) Soft buttons do not work.
3) D-Pad and wheel work intermittently.
4) (and most strange) the back-space key on the slide out keyboard does nothing, and on the virtual keyboard it flashes (to suggest that the key is being pressed) but still does nothing.
I've tried to access the bootloader, and perform a hard reset. I'm now looking for the original T-Mobile ROM to install (which was why I went into the shop), as the issue around the backspace key implies to me that the issue is in the OS not in the hardware.

Thanks already for all the input.
I've been trying all weekend in every different possible way to perform a hard reset. Fat fingering is really no possibility anymore. I've used every possible tool I had (needle-nose pliers, chopsticks, pens,...) to eliminate fat fingering.
But nothing helped. Jon (a nice guy) might have given a possibly correct diagnosis for my problem. But it wouldn't explain why I still can get into the bootloader.
Problems since receiving my phone from repairs:
Backlight changed out of itself => performed Hard Reset
Phone pad pops up and seems to start dialing => flashed new ROM
Wakes up constantly after a few seconds from standby => performed Hard Throw against the wall
As you can see, my latest problem is that the phone automatically wakes up from standby after a few seconds. The weird thing: it only does this when I put it in standby, but it doesn't wake up if it enters standby by itself.
=> NOTE: This may support the 'fat finger'-theory: the Kaiser gets some sort of keyboard input due to faulty hardware. Therefore I cannot Hard Reset my device, because of the additional faulty input.
I've used the "Clear Storage" method to perform one of my hard resets, but this has to be solved. I will be sending the phone back for yet another repair.
Thanks again for your input everyone.
Problem found?
I think I found the problem:
I just noticed that the camera button is already pushed in halfway (like when you focus the camera before you take a picture). If I push the button gently, it immediately takes a picture without focussing (it does automatically focus before taking the shot, but not on my command).
Also, when I enter the camera app, it sometimes instantly focuses. Other times I cannot focus at all.
Hard reset is still no go.
Yet another thanks for your useful help.
Maybe found the solution?
Hi Guys...
I found that by tapping the base of the phone, it "unlocks" itself, thereby making it work. It's become *S*L*O*W* as hell, and I'm really tempted to ask them to take a look at it, but right now I need all the functions, so I'm holding off.
But, give that a try and see what happens!
Jon
Thanks for still answering my question. Go community!

Last week I finally received a fully functional and working Kaiser (have been waiting for that since december...). I couldn't accept a disfunctional Kaiser coming back from repairs.
The problem did indeed seem to be the camare button that was stuck. I tried really hard to get it to unblock, but I didn't work. I must say, I didn't try your method (didn't think of it).
Still thanks a lot.
I am experiencing exact same issues on my Kaiser (Tilt), it randomly starts to type stuff in the phone application on its own and I can't do anything to stop it, I have replaced ROMs, SPLs, Radios, now using a shipped rom with shipped radio but still that problem comes up after a few days of usage and doesn't go away until I hard reset, anyone knows what I can do to fix it? it's probably out of warranty. I checked the camera button and it seems fine.
my diamond is playing up, there are no sound at all from earpiece, ringer or loud speaker after every 30mins to 1hour,
once you restart the phone and its works again, then gone within 1hour, have to keep restart the phone
here what i have done:
i run this RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship
Still not fix
then this
SwiftBL-WWE-Diamond-ROM-v5.6
still not fix,
i dismantle the phone have a look is anything simple loose connection and such, but there is no sign of that or no sign of any water damage.
please if you have any idea to share here will be much appreciated
thanks
Same problem here...
looks like still fresh this Diamond phone, no one have idea yet to rectify this issue
still waiting.............
if it is fine to begin with, and then it goes after a little while, i would say it is not a hardware problem, but a software one.
especially as you have tried it on more than one ROM, it suggests that you may have installed something else on to the device which may be influencing it.
Hard reset and sycn your contacts etc back to the device, but do not install anything else, or do any tweaks at all.
let it run out of the box without any changes for a 24 hour period.
does it still happen?
if yes, send it back.
if no, start putting everything back on one by one until the problem re-occurs, trying the device for a couple of hours after each install. when it fails again, you have your suspect which is the last thing you installed or did before it failed again.
course, it could be a dodgy device, but make sure before you go through the hassle of sending it back, cos it could just be some software that doesn't like wm6.1.
All my hardbuttons work but nothing works on the screen no matter how long i press down or hard or soft. The touchscreen just isnt working. I just woke up this morning and it stoped working.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
Please help I dont understand why its doing this I cant turn my volume up or anything
Well,
You still have to provide a few more information if you really want someone finding out the cause of your problem!
What have you done last on your device before it happened? Are you still running on the factory installed ROM? Have you tried SOFT RESET and HARD RESET yet? And so on ...
Hmmm,
people always seem to forget that we have no clue about the actual condition of their devices! We further can't possible know what they have tried already to solve the problem. In addition, it is important to remember what had been done last on the device before the problem occured (such as installing / removing software, screwing with the device's registry, reflashing, giving it a bath and so on ...)
Well the last thing I installed on my phone was slide to unlock and that was like a month ago. I have soft and hard reset and I'm stuck in the set up after the Hard Reset were it has you touch to continue. I am on factory rom. The only software on it was TomTom 7, spb shell, slide to unlock. Everything worked fine on it and then I touched my screen one day and noticed it wasnt responding to my touch and it really just came out of the blue like I have not dropped it or got it wet or anything no problems until now.
Any other information you need let me know?
Thanks
Dear buds,
I've bought a TD2 with WinMO 6.5 lately. I had lots of bugs and fixed them all but one...
After some time from bootup (after 1 or 2 hours) the sound of phone goes off without a reason. No sound from speaker, headset or volume control buttons. However everything goes well instead sound. Phone vibrates when get call, notifications and alarms vibrate without sound etc. My only solution to get back the sounds is soft reset. After soft reset everything gets fine...
I think this is a sound driver issue but... If someone to help or show the way on forum please help (because I couldn't find same issue on search)
Thanks in advance.
If there aren't any other programs causing this by adjusting your volume levels, It may be a driver issue and you'll probably have to hard reset.
This is a common issue when flashing a new ROM without hard resetting after.
Dear Bruce,
Thanks for solution suggestion.
I hard reset three times until I bought the phone but nothing changed. I'm using the official shipped ROM and I didn't flash any other ROMs.
Extra programs list:
Klaxon
SKTools Lite
Garmin Mobile XT (Because my Copilot runs only after first installing then crashes forever)
Sportypal
Google Translator
Could that happen because of wrong flashing at factory or service etc.? I mean, this phone is a Vodafone version.
In Turkey, Vodafone signal often goes off and usually my phone gets stuck when the signal is off. Could this be the reason for unloading driver?
The digits of my phone are here:
ROM version: 2.16.468.4 (67041) WWE
ROM Date: 11.12.09
Radio Version:4.49.25.17
The fact that it works for a short while after soft reset perplexes me.
You have verified your volume is on when the sound turns off? (Sorry I have to ask this)
Any other programs running at the time is stops?
GPS software can conflict with system volume and backlight, so maybe make sure Garmin is set to dynamic settings.
Other than that, I really have no suggestions as a hard reset has not helped.
Perhaps hard reset, test for a while and see if it fails w/o any programs. Then install one prog at a time until you find the cause.
There is a slight possiblity that it was a bad flash and the driver is corrupt, which would mean reflashing the stock ROM.
Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.
Dear Bruce
Sorry for very late answer for your last post
It's sure the phone volume is on
I've been examining the phone for one week and tried some possibilities and still no way for the bug
First I hard reseted again, then didn't install any other programs. After 6 hours, the same issue occured.
I uninstalled CoPilot (which I didn't use after hard reset) then soft reset and wait, just only some hours later, the sounds went off again.
After several soft resets, I decided to play music and monitor if it happens. Then BINGO! The sound went off just after poor GSM signal. When the phone lost the signal, it temporarily locked itself. After 2 or 3 issue, the phone sounds went off.
I think, phone starts a search after signal loss, then it tries to execute rest after 10 or 30 seconds either the signal comes back or not. After some trials it cannot reload sound .dll and sounds lock forever. But after soft reset, everything gets fine again.
To be sure about signal loss, I took the phone in flight mode for one day and wait for the same bug and the second BINGO came Phone didn't show the same bug.
After all, I reflashed the official ROM of TD2 and tried the same things but nothing changed. It's sure that the bug is not due to the wrong flashing the ROM.
For now, I'm sure that the bug occurs because of poor GSM signal of Vodafone in my region. So the question comes
Is there anything (such as a registry tweak or vice versa) to make the phone not to lock itself while loosing the signal and searching? Or do I have a way to increase the signal sensitivity?
Thanks for the worthful answers.
Regards
