Hey Guys,
Doing a gazillion of trials to get rid of the SOD, i have finally found something that is working for me now for over than 2 weeks without a single hickup,, i used to get SODs 3 times a day or maybe more
Anyway to cut it short,, i just disabled the "Automatically adjust backlight" setting in the sounds and display menu.
i was really starting to hate my TP2 but not anymore
I dunno if the solution will work with anyone else but for me that did the trick and i just thought of sharing that.
Congrats on your success. Unfortunately, though, the SOD appears to be caused by many different factors for many different people. Your fix may work for some but not for others. The backlight had zero bearing when fixing my SOD issues. Good luck to anyone else though!

You may be on to something here. I agree with Scooter that it may not work for all people, but I have read about these things constantly over the past few months, and I have NEVER had a SOD, but then again, I've NEVER left my "Automatically adjust back-light" box checked either. I always get in there after a new flash and uncheck it the first time it dims down and way sooner and darker than I want it to. Anyway, I hope this is the answer for many people.

where is "sounds and display menu"? do you mean Settings>System>Power>Backlight>Automatically adjust backlight?
pls specify.
Go to the Settings Manilla tab and it is he 3rd one down.
I have had 1.1 installed since it came out and have only had one SOD, which was yesterday. My device flashed with Automatic off

Hi Guys,
I did some research here and on google but couldn't find any good results.
I really have a serious lag in my keyboard, more likely at the repeating characters like, hello or whoohoo ... wil be like helo whoho, ...
Is there a fix or something else. When typing emails this result in a lot of frustation. I don't know how you guys think or experience this problem!
Thnx for you comments.
it's been brought up before but might be hard to search on...
Others have reported that turning off Word Completion and Auto Correct have helped.
Settings --> Input ... Word Completion tab
Give that a shot.
I have the same problem. I've turned off input completion under settings -> input -> word completion and in programs -> xT9 Settings. But when I type the letter A, Q, O, and L it tries to auto complete. Also Z is displayed as X. I installed the AT&T Keyboard fix from TaurusBullba and nothing changed. I am using Dutty_s_hybrid_Rom_Build_18533 Final on an AT&T tilt. Thanks for the help.
I've got the same issue. I've turned off Word Completion, etc. but it didn't seem to make a difference. Guess I need to slow my thumbs down...
Yes, the lag is quite annoying at times. It seems to be less of an issue when less programs are running. But I noticed the problem is not as bad since I stopped using Windows Media Player (which I would run all the time) and started using Audio Manager.
L8
With me the lag was even bigger after I had installed the HTC Touch Keyboard cab, which also xt9. After removing it got a little better (but still there's lag)...
So i guess there is no 1 solution for this keyboard lag? I'm also faced with the same problem I can finish typing my sms about 4 to 5 words faster then it can appear on the screen.
Anybody found a solution?
It might seem irrelevant but it obviously affects any consecutive keystrokes:
Start -> Settings -> Buttons -> Up/Down Control
If you put the delay to minimum, it seems to make things a lot better.
On the contrary, the "turning off autocomplete" solution didn't work for me.
Even though I think this should help you guys as well, I'm kind of pissed off that one has to use workarounds for such an expensive device to work properly. Especially when it comes to the keyboard which is among the top 5 reasons for buying it in the first place. I'm aware of the argument that this kind of thing happens with all WM devices, but still this seems close to unacceptable for me.
All the best

I totally agree, especially for a product that costs €600 or more! Nevertheless it's with all WM and HTC devices, and... has your pc never crashed or do you use a WindowsXP pc which has no tools or addons?

This appears to have fixed it for me, thank you!
This seems to have fixed it about 90% of the time. Sometimes when typing "www." it will end up ww. but that is only part of the time.
Thanks!
Mine sped up somewhat when I did the repeat rate change, but I REALLY noticed a difference when I removed the 3G dial pad and rebooted, seems everything is running faster now, but knowing my luck its a tease and it'll just go back to normal

Very odd, but it works for me. Thanks for the tip!
Up/Down control setting change worked for me too. Now the only problem is I actually get 3 letters sometimes!

Maybe decrease the key repeat rate?
SWEET
the up down to a minimum seems t work for me. any suggestions as to which screen keyboard is better to use then the one in the rom my thumbs are to fat and its hard to use the keyboard when im driving. I knwo tis not safe but everyone does it. i guess it would be safer If my kaiser had bigger screen buttons for ppl with chubby fingers. LOL
thanks in advance.
juanitto
Hi Juanito,
Don't think it's your chubby fingers - we all suffer from it. I've heard people talk about the PCMKeyboard. On the last Roms i've tried, it didn't work, not sure why. I am currently running a ROM that has the Diamond keyboard, which I like too. The only thing I have to get used to is that it has two keys on each button (similar to for instance Nokia) but it is QWERTY (see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2199341&postcount=15)...
Regards,
Nika.
I do also have the same problems with the whole touchscrenn input.
after some time working around, somehow all inputs have a delay. so for example when I am trying to close a program, the X (to close Prg) animates to be pushed half a second after I clicked on it...
or when I am trying to switch between tabs, it seems as the cpu is hanging somewhere around 100% and you have to repeat your input more times or try to push harder on the screen etc... until the inputs has been accepted.
is that a known issue? its very annoying...
only thing that helps is to softreset the device... but after some minutes the effect starts again...
to dr-house: your problem might be related to the 'htc task manager', especially versions 2 and higher. Disable it's auto start-up and see if you see any improvements.
how do u disable the taskmanger on startup and do the 3G txt thing??
Is there a way to stop WM6 from going to Today screen when I turn it on? I want it to just return wherever I was when I turned it off. Thanks.
I believe it only happens if you have the PIN setup, at least on my Tilt.
Nope, it happens all the time. I'm in messaging, I turn the screen off and then on and it returns to the today screen. It is incredibly annoying.
Mine does not do that.
Must be a setting somewhere because I know other people have the exact same problem.
I also own the tilt and have the same problem. It's very annoying.
It is a setting issue..
On my Tilt this works: To stop the screen from returning to the Today screen, just go to settings > Personal >Today > Items and choose the Today timeout period from the drop down list.
No dice for me. It was one of the first things I tried before anyway. Its especially annoying when I'm using PocketPlayer and I turn off the screen to save juice and when I turn it back on again PocketPlayer flickers for an instant, then it goes back to the Today screen then I have to retap PocketPlayer, then it has to redraw. Ugh!!!
Yeah,i have this same problem with my TyTn...but it does not happen on a fresh ROM...which leads me to say that it has to be a program installed that is causing it...i have a Kaiser (that is awaiting warranty replacement) on the stock ATT ROM, and it does not do it, considering, i have no apps installed...
pocketplayer has an option to stop this: disable switching to home screen
Even in PocketPlayer toggling that option has no effect on my problem. I am convinced it is a simple registry setting but I don't know what it is.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Just got a Kaiser and I agree, this is extremely annoying. I was hoping there was a registry hack to stop this.

Sure you can
Start->Settings->Today->Items->Today Timeout (Diable it).
This determaine after how much time it will display the today.
Disable it.
Enjoy,

Nope. Checking or unchecking seems to have no effect. Even when checked, turning the device off and on will immediately show the today screen, not in the 4 hrs (or whatever you have it set for) in the dialog box.
Have you tried removing the PIN Lock feature under Settings>Lock?
Aha! the pinlock was set to 0 minutes for some reason. disabling it has sorted the problem for me.
Uberlad
Happy to Help
Mine is set to 60 minutes. If that truly is the fix, it isn't an acceptable one. Thanks for the info, but HTC should fix this.
its definitely not the fix. Mine was set to 15min and that's what I want it at in case I lose it. I am 99% sure its a registry setting and I am also 99% sure that I saw the fix in some forum on another site once but can't remember where or find it again.
Ive not tried searching for this problem, seems abit of an awkward thing to search so please dont shoot me
I've noticed for awhile now some times when im typing a text msg it'll work fine..... then it suddenly misses letters/key presses etc so my text message ends up
"Hey mate, how re yu oing?"... esspecially on words like "Little" i end up with "Litle" etc.
But going into Word / notepad etc it types no problems & other times i can do an SMS session with no problems then it'll suddenly act up, any idea why its doing this?
Im only using the kaisers default SMS program, maybe i should be using something abit better?
search for clear type in this forum you'll find your answer.
Ahh thanks, went to disable clear type ... damn things already disabled
*scratches head in confussion*
well ive enabled it, maybe that'll help lol

I haven't had any recent issues even with clear type enabled. A while back I did but now all is fine. My device appears to act funny at times. Just recently I lost all sound for almost 3 days, which was not a rom/radio compatibility issue.

mine does weird things aswell, i use alarms alot... anyway i flashed my phone (so date was reset), my alarms werent going off, couldnt figure out why.
then relised the year was off & set the year correctly then the alarms started working, no idea what caused it to rely on the date.
now i think about it i guess "Monday 8am" would of been day differant day in 2005.... oki problem solved.
not very often that happens
Okay boys, here is the answer. There are two different functions you will have to modify. They are both under Settings>Buttons>Up Down Control.
Cleartype is only used for smoothing edges and has no affect on typing... btw.
Two different functions you will have to change are Lower the delay before first report to short, (far left) and Repeat rate to the slower side.
That helps on the lag issue you have been experiencing.
The second thing you should try is to disable predictive text.
Settings>Inputs>Word Completion
Try turning it off it helps a lot of people.
Have you flashed your rom or are you using the ATT one?
If you use the ATT one these problems will help, but the interface is still slow due to the bloatware on the phone. If you use a cooked rom the first thing should help as well as the second however, I am running a cooked rom L9 (laurentius) with no problems and I rarely miss type.
I have noticed one issue with my keyboard though that I cannot figure out and do not like, pressing the space bar and a number or letter before or after, the spacebar trumps the other buttons and many times I just see the space and no letter or number that I typed in close time proximity to the thing I was entering. Hope this helped.
Yes I did a search and I found a bunch of post about people wanting their phone to wake up............
Mine wakes up for no reason all the time and this of course drains the battery real fast. is there any way to stop this. I messed around with some of the roaming options but not knowing what I am doing solved nothing. Please dont yell at me if I missed the obvious post on how to fix this just point me in the right direction ;P
Device 'Wake up'...
Hi there... have you installed some third-party software which may be causing this? There is always a reason for your device to wake up... they don't wake up for no reason at all, as you put it! Maybe you have installed some device locking software / system backup / alarm or reminder function??

Are you using Klaxon or Throttlelock?
I have the exact same problem, and found that either of these two cause the problem.
Actually I have this problem too, installed nothing 3rd party but the device just wakes up as if something happened
no third party software, I have installed, or replaced image files (IE no cab files just the png files) to make the bottom icons look different.
I believe the issue has something to do with dropping evdo and picking it back up but I changed a few settings that should have stopped that, so I think, and no effect.
Hi, I have this problem when i turn on the screen it turns off, tho only the "screen" the buttons still light up and i can feel the vibration when i use the screen. I have tried different roms and still this problem. Sometimes i manage to get it to work and don't have these probs, But i really don't know what it is Thanks in advance!
P.S some roms have this problem for me and some don't so i don't think it's a hardware problem.

Hi there,
funnily I just had this issue yesterday, but I also know it from the past. After some time I found the cause (at least in my case):
the Lightflow-App
You don't happen to have it installed as well? As soon as I uninstalled LightFlow, things went back to normal for me. It started for me after I did some customizing in LightFlow, so it was logic to start with uninstalling that.
I suspect it has something to do with how it is setup or notifications in general. Maybe you have another Notification-App installed?
Let me know if this helped...
Hallu
Hi, thanks uninstalled lightflow and it stoped, have been force to change roms i just installed becuase i thought this was some problem from the rom.
thanks again
