I like to put my T-Mobile Dash in the back pocket sometimes. I missed several calls the other day. I suspect when the calls came in, as I was sitting on the phone, the "reject" button not only caused the ring to stop, but also sent the call to the voice mail right away. Is there anyway to mask out, or simply remove the "reject" function?

thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] nhung:
Not that I know of. Don't put in your back pocket. Many people have crack there screen doing this.
[HTC Excalibur] anewbie:
I thought cracked screens come from dropping and hitting the phone on the cement :o
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Slight pressure on a wrong spot on the screen can kill pixels and/or crack the screen.
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
i have the same habit. if im walking i always put my phone in the back pocket opposite my wallet. and like you, i sit on it 100 times a day.....
[HTC Excalibur] sc2sick:
just hold down the call end button to lock your phone.
[HTC Excalibur] anewbie:
doesn't work

when a call comes in, the right shortcut key becomes call reject button even if you are in lock mode.
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Wow earlier was going to say how idiosyncratic it is to put a phone in back pocket, don't even do that with n73 and that's a brick compared to the Dash, now i'm just speechless :confused:
[HTC Excalibur] gixxum:
wanna know whats funny? i just got back from lunch and as i type this...im sitting on my phone. hahah
[HTC Excalibur] -RotorDemon-:
Yep.. Same problem here.. Mines always in my back pocket. Screen facing my butt. Phone rings and it will reject.

Scrolling on my S21, in general, is very smooth with Motion Smoothness set to the default Adaptive setting. However, my particular phone will intermittently stop and reverse direction. Sometimes its frequent and other times its rare. Wife's S21 appears to have the same issue but not to the extent I'm seeing on mine. I've not yet found anybody else noting this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Real Life Reviews] TRLOS:
I've also noticed the choppy/laggy scrolling when reading websites.

I tried closing all background apps but the issue still happens

What browser do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Real Life Reviews] infinity81:
I noticed the choppy scroling in chrome, i tested the same website in Opera and it was smooth.

Could it be a issue with chrome and the adaptive refresh rate of the display?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Real Life Reviews] jakoss:
I notice random jittering while scrolling in everything, could be Facebook, Instagram, google discovery, even inside the one UI launcher when viewing the app pages. there is random stutters there, not everyone will notice it but there is stutters. I think it is something related to android in general and in fact the adaptive thing made it worse. My previous S20 had stutters too but it is more noticeable in the S21.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Real Life Reviews] abycharlie:
My scrolling is generally smooth.

What Rom are you using?

Found the solution for you but need to know what ROM you're running.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vampire2800:
On your phone, open your registry editor. If you don't have one, get it here. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Change the Data String from \Windows\??????? to (This is what a stock ROM should be) \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk

If you have a different ROM, I have no clue. But, I will keep checking for ya.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] boss1234:
I am running the stock rom from att. I don't have a registry editor yet, but I will try the one you posted and try to fix it in the morning, when I get back up to work. Thanks!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vampire2800:
Good luck, bro. I'd check the link I provided (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk) to make sure that Device Lock.lnk is there. If it is then you'll be good to go. If not, check in other folders for it. It will be in your windows folder or windows sub folders somewhere. Let us know how it turns out for you.

I agree that photo quality from rear cameras are below my expectations - dirt cheap Pixel 4 makes much better photos in all regards. But I quite satisfied with selfie camera quality though. My concusion - don't buy this phone for camera quality only.

Slightly disappointed with the camera app so far. And that is one of the main reasons to buy this phone. Low light was awful and zoom seems awful at any thing over 25 percent. But I am going to test in the day tomorrow and probably expecting to much from a 1200 pound phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
I have the 8525 with WM6 installed. About 1 in 40 times, the End Call option doesn't display that the call ended (on my side). I attempt to still talk to the other person but I can't hear them, though. After about 2 minutes later, it finally ends the connection. I must do a soft reset to temporarily fix it; the only drawback is that the most previous call isn't shown as being made.

About 1 in 80 times, the call attempts to be made, but doesn't connect at all. I try to End Call, but it seems to "freeze" the screen. The "Close screen" seems to help, as in 30 seconds the device finally quits trying to connect.

Another thing I noticed, after the phone freezes, the antenna signal drops to zero and then returns to about 2 - 3 bars of signal, about 5 seconds later. I'm not sure if that is the cause of the phone hanging, or not. Is there any kind of software to resolve this issue? It's really annoying! Thanks for any help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] galaxys:
is that a cooked rom or official? what's your radio version and carrier?

I'm thinking u need a different radio verson...(u must have hardspl to flash another radio version)...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
I got the 8525 as a reconditioned from AT&T about 3 weeks ago. It came with WM5, and I had the above calling issues back then too. I then was informed on the boards here to upgrade to WM6, which I downloaded from HTC, via the AT&T website link.

As for programs, I removed the AT&T "bloatware" via the hard reset trick. Later, I installed S2U2, HTC Streaming Media, HTweakC2.1b, and the PTTFix software. One other program on the 8525 is OCN8 -- for my iBlue 737 Bluetooth GPS device. There are no other files that I can recall, except maps, songs, internet .jpgs, and (camera) pictures/videos.

Settings:

ROM Version: 3.62.502.3

ROM Date: 10/11/07

Radio Version: 1.54.07.00

Protocol Version: 32.86u.7020.23H

I do appreciate and try to understand all of the replies that I receive, and I do try to respond within a timely manner. I understand that people are busy and may have other careers as well. However, the thing that makes me pull my hair out is when someone starts to assist my problem, then just ditches the thread after my reply, without so much as an "I'm sorry, but I'm not able to solve your problem" at the minimum! Normally, I give a 48 hour window for the helper or any more helpers to reply before I get frustrated, but it's been way past that timeframe now!

I've noticed that phenomenon on 3 of my prior posts, each are on different subjects. It seems that after the first reply, no one but the original helper responds! If that original helper is busy, or just forgets about the thread, then I'm screwed over.

Sorry to rant, but I tried looking all over the boards for the best Radio program. All I seem to find is best ROMs, but not really Radios. I've seen 2 other Radio programs in signatures, but I'm not sure what one would be best for my purposes. I've seen mention of 1.47.30 & 1.47.00.10 in some members' signatures, but I'm hesitant to just "trial and error" one, for fear it would damage my device. I currently have the WM6 default 1.54.07.00 version, but it freezes up on making some calls and more often on ending a current call.

Anyone else for ideas or opinions on what Radio program to use? Please back up your opinion with facts when possible. I am not an expert on the device, just a new user who is afraid to ruin my investment.

Much thanks to all who read this post and reply to it!

Hi, just saw your thread & did not know U were still hanging....

I would try radio 1.48.00.00 first, then 1.47.00.10 or 1.50.00.00 if necessary. Seem's a lot of at&t users liked 1.48 from what I noticed (don't forget hardspl - use mrvanx guide in the Mobile 6 forum section)...

Here's the 1.54 thread with pro's, con's, and 1.48 at&t comments...

Thanks for the reply! I will do the hardspl first, then try to install the 1.48.00.00 Radio. I'll report back with details in a day or two.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
My current Image Version is 3.62.502.3, and I am attempting to update it to 3.54.255.3.

I keep having errors while trying to install Radio Version 1.48.00.10 to my 8525, after opening RUU_Inside.exe on my laptop. I've even tried to install it from my microSD card, but I get the tri-color screen instead of the white background with text screen, shown in the online example. The 8525 ActiveSyncs to the computer fine, and the screen shows:

"Updating the ROM image on your PDA phone ...

Please do not remove the USB connection from the PDA Phone or launch any program during the update process.

Remember the operation will take about 10 minutes."

As soon as the above grey box pops up, ActiveSync drops after that box appears, then I get the following message:

"Error [260]: CONNECTION"

I've installed Hard-SPL v.7 onto the 8525 already. Not that it seems to make a difference, I believe, but other programs that are on it include: WMXL 8525 Keyboard Fix, S2U2 1.16, Resco Explorer 2008, PTTFix, MunduRadio, & HTweakC 2.1,
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] galaxys:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
My laptop has XP (Media Center Edition). I did a search as well, but it was dated back to 2007; I wondered if there was a newer fix than the one on that page, as it referenced the prior version of Hard-SPL. From the sounds of it, I have to install WM5 again, change the radio version (which was the only thing I need to adjust, as the voice calls have been a pain since day one), then reinstall all of my programs again.

I've heard people create ROMs. However, the radio settings can't be included in them . . . or am I off-base with that presumption? I am not that experienced to cook my own ROM, as I am still learning the nuances.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Well I broke down and went on AT&T's online chat. Sounds like there is no software to install to fix the issue. I hoped the radio version switch would help, but I couldn't get it to install! I guess it's back to the Replacement Depot on Sunday. I should return my device to WM5, which I hope to find the thread for on the board.

If interested, here's the key parts of the conversation:

Me: Hi, my 8525 is giving me trouble making and ending calls. It sometimes hangs, and doesn't quit trying to place the call. Once I reset it, it's fine until I try to end the call, it hangs up the call, but not showing so on my side

AT&T: Can you try hard shocking the phone for me please? A hard shock is taking the battery out while the phone is still powered on, and then power the phone back on once the battery is back in the phone.

Me: I received it as a reconditioned from the AT&T depot in Pittsburgh, PA. About 20 minutes later, it did the same thing, so I upgraded to WM6 and still the same issues

AT&T: If you continue to have these issues with this phone, you will need to take the phone back to the Device Support place where you got it from.

Me: Is that a common issue?

AT&T: Sometimes it is with at reconditioned phone.

. . .

AT&T does not have an update for the Windows Mobile 6 at this time. However you may check out HTC website at www.htcamerica.net/support/default.html and see if they have an update for this software for this phone.

Me: So it's the phone, not the software?

AT&T: Yes that is correct. There is a defect within the phone that is causing these issues. If you continue to have these issues with this phone, you will need to take the phone back to the Device Support place where you got it from.

Me: Are you able to explain what causes it that the Device Center doesn't catch it

AT&T: I am not sure what causes this issue.

Me: Like should there be anything done to prevent that from happening?

AT&T: It is hard to tell with reconditioned phones. It may be something that can be fixed and it may not. If the hard shock does not fix this issue and the Device Support cannot, then you will be given another phone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] galaxys:
Ok, your signature is looking good and that is some conversation with good old at&t...bla bla bla :D

To answer your question above, the chefs cooked roms do not include radio (because everyone around the world uses a different one). But, the Official WM6 rom's do (posted wiki & wm 6 section). So, why don't u flash the official wm6 since u have hardspl now? This in itself may resolve u'r issue (if u don't get the driver pc 260 error)! why would u want to flash wm5?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
I was going to return my 8525 to the Service Depot where I got it, is why I mentioned returning it back to WM5 status. However, I wanted to see if it could be fixed by software first, but considering the above online AT&T chat, I am definitely going to get it replaced again. So, I want the 8525 to not show my "3rd party software" to ruin the warranty. I had the 8525 to individually remove the CABs under Remove Programs, and then I did a Clear Memory to default for good measure. Hopefully the Service Depot won't say anything about the device being altered that way.

Oh yea, I am going to get it replaced on Thursday. I will try to get them to give me a new one, not a reconditioned. That is, if there are even any new ones around anymore! It'd be a miracle if they gave me a new 8925 Tilt instead . . . lol I know -- keep dreaming! Wish me luck with a new 8525 though!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ohpfan:
Well, I exchanged my current 8525 for another reconditioned one. The repair guy actually asked if I heard of the xda website (for help with my device!), lol!! He didn't go into detail about what this site does, just asked if I heard about it, and I affirmed that I did. Possibly he found traces of programs that changed settings, but he didn't rat me out. He sounded like he was confident that he fixed the phone dialing issues, but gave me a new one "just in case".

As soon as he gave it to me, it booted right up, without the calibration screen. He flat out told me to calibrate it, but it didn't appear. I was trying to see if it would act up with the dialing again, but noticed it didn't save the numbers on my SIM! I then decided to get rid of the bloatware via the Clear Programs and that lead to the calibration screen, finally.

So far it seems to work fine! I made about 6 calls this time and they seem to end properly. There is a slight 30 second or so delay when I press the button with the "red phone symbol" [end call] before the screen lights up again though. Is that normal?

Oh, I've only loaded up S2u2 so far. I will reinsert the others onto my memory card today sometime before work.

Again, so far so good! Only real issue I see is that the ringer volume is very low when the device is in the carrying case I have it in. I will search on here for a ringer volume changer, soon!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] galaxys:
Glad U were able to get another phone!

"red phone symbol" [end call] before the screen lights up again though. Is that normal?

No, should end in a few seconds...doesn't seem it's even assigned to the phone (U can use Schaps Advanced Config tool to do this and many more good tweeks).
