Comments and Questions about 4.2

Hi all,

I have a few points and comments to make about 4.2:

1. GPS Issue: When fist booted with 4.2 ROM i experienced the same issue as Darwinmach, i rebooted the phone a couple of times and then it stated working fine and has since yesterday.

2. As soon as i installed the new ROM, the phone started to get hot (as when talking for a long time or using Wifi) and draining the battery fast, a mean real fast going from 100% to 10% in as little as 3 hours with the phone on stand by, It still does it and i don't know why. I suspect it may have to do with the GPS not turning off after closing any of the GPS software i use, I will continue researching.

3. I have a Fuze but i am not with ATT, how can I use the Fuze ROm and remove all of the hidden proxy settings? (i tried the remove hidden proxy cab and did not work) I do not like the soft buttons settings on the Raphael ROM as well as the video dialer which is useless in a Fuze, so my ideal version would be a Fuze ROM without any proxy settings. On versions previous to 4 i used to go in the registry and remove all proxy settings manually but since Version 4 things have change and it is different, the manual removal did not work.

Other than that another great ROM, thanks to NaTF.

Wow, waiting to upgrade to a new ROM because of a silly splash screen. Do you reboot every ten minutes to show your friends your splash screen, or what?

There's an XDA link within this thread, posted by NATF, that gives you specific instructions on how to change your splash screen.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Arju:
Hey guys, i was wondering on something. Some of my applications are installed on my phone because they are mostly required to i guess.. so if i ever wanted to upgrade to newer versions of any rom are there any ways to take backup of those applications or do i have to reinstall them each time i upgrade?....

I use the predefine city from the TF3D, New york. I really doubt its a typo :D

It could be the weather thing down too, thnx.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Lostwarriorram:
Thanks for the suggestion. I got "ROMeOS" splash screen now. Uploading it for some other needy vagabond.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
My apology. This wasn't so much directed AT YOU as to people in general. Several have been acting like NATF has been putting out ROMs that constantly crash and fail.

I just chose your message of: "Why make more messages for you to field with an unstable release." to reply to.I think you will agree his ROMs are really stable, regardless of what known bugs may be in them.

Again, my apology for offending you.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
No need to attack other members for their own preferences *sighs* We all entitled to our own opinions :D.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
What location did you add. Post the full location and let others test it.

I had the same problem with NAM|US|CO|LITTLETON on Monday, but then it just started working.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Lostwarriorram:
This is why I ignored his comment.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
I have a reason to believe it happens with just about any city. I had it happen quite a few times, but i simply re-update and it works again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] kennyb123:
It wasn't an attack... I just didn't understand how that was a big enough issue to hold off on a major upgrade!

On another rant - NATF did all the work, why not use his splash screen? Even if it was the ugliest splash screen ever... just my opinion.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
Best thing to do :rolleyes: I am currently searching for the link NAFT had given to change the splash screen. I'll update this post when i do.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
No need to call that an attack. He was just pointing out something that most of us find silly.

That being said, I would like to know why so many seem to want a 'special' splash screen. I just don't get it, so please feel free to enlighten me, tell me what I am missing. Personally, I never see the splash screen.

So, seriously, why the special splash screen. To me, it eats up more RAM and takes the phone longer to boot. What am I missing?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
Indeed, no doubt about it. I used his Roms strictly and i make my necessary changes and all but i usually keep it intact. I do not change his bootscreen either but if others want to, there is no need to say such things. Kindly point out the thread, if not someone else will. We are making changes that MS wouldnt support, but they dont fix either. Yet you dont see them complaint or going after Xda afaik :p
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
Ok this seems it could get out of hand, i would hate to be banned as well. With that being said, as stated earlier we all are entitled to our own preferences. If you dont agree with it, plz dont attack them. Instead ignore them, and let someone else who did or found the right topic to help the person do it. But dont assume everyone next door likes the same things you do. Thank you all and have a nice day everyone. :)

4.2 Keyboard Internet & SMS keys not working

Has anyone else noticed this or am I alone?

When I try to use the slide out keyboard "Internet" or "SMS" keys, they do not seem to work. There the only ones I have noticed. Just me?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Lostwarriorram:
Here you go "Original thread" Its not NATF's comments.

Edit: Appreciate your link few posts above. you beat me by seconds.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
Yes it is, look above:p shall we go on about it till the last one standing? lol ;)

LOL nvm me then, I saw your edit above too.:)

Its just my preference. May be I like the BIOS screen. I apologize to NATF if he gets this provoking.

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
I don't think you have anything to apologize for. It's fine that you like a splash screen. I find it more bloatware and less useful, but that's me. But please, don't consider these messages as an attack, as they are not. Those that don't like the splash screens really just want to know what the fascination is.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Lostwarriorram:
No offense taken. I am here to learn, share and have fun.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tvromero:
I noticed the same. I did a fresh install making sure I have the Fuze ROM to go with my Fuze and it made no difference. What I see is

- Calendar - opens Calendar

- Contacts - opens NOTHING

- Messaging - opens Messaging

- Internet - opens NOTHING

- CV - opens Windows Media

- IM - open Messaging

- SMS - opens NOTHING

- Music - opens File Explorer

[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] skyfox99:
Do you have anything assigned to those keys in start>settings>buttons? If so, then the files may have been removed from the ROM that points to those keys. Haven't pulled NATF ROM 4.2 yet, but I will check when I do.

@NATF

a cup of coffee on the way for your great work, making my job and cooking my own little ROM a LOT easier!

*EDIT* Nevermind, forgot NATF combines all packages to one, so no extracting there for me... Just have to wait to see if NATF posts his OEM
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] RedDawg22:
I just upgraded to V4.2 and when my alarms go off, the soft keys and the snooze menu change to a different language. Is this happening with anyone else, or does anyone know of a fix?

Thanks!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
I don't see the lag, and I think I've managed to lick the issue with the black bar... but I'm not talking until I verify it. :)

It was an issue with the newer OS build. Once I downgraded to 20764, the issue corrected itself.

Have you guys mapped them in Start -> Settings -> Buttons ?

I'm going to post them tonight.

Is it at least a language you understand? :D ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] agentredd:
I disabled it and its still not loading

V.4 with Fuzeberry 5.0 and BB Connect working great. No issues at all. GPS is fast and working great.

As always thanks NATF!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jtsurfs:
Anyone else seeing an error with Diamond TF3D in NATF's Standard v4.0? I just flashed and I get an error that says "an unexpected error has occurred in Diamond TF3D Config.exe". I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling, soft resetting, and combinations of soft-resets and installing. Keep getting the same error. If I check the details there is something about "NullReferenceException". Not sure what any of this means. It worked with Standard v3.2.

NATF - this ROM is awesome, just want to get this one thing worked out and I will be a happy boy!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jtsurfs:
Sorry I missed this one earlier. So I'm not the only one with this problem in V4.0. :(

IE too small print

i like how IE is rendering the pages now. I don't like how hard it is to zoom in. would be nice if we could use the thumb circle. It also seems that when i select to zoom out i then have the zoom in feature. But the zoom in only goes to a certain point not nearly enough. I can read everything but it's hard.

Thanks, I went back and searched some more and found someone else had posted a different version of TF3D Config and it seems to work ok with this ROM.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] CR7KB24:
Thats exactly the tread i read a couple of time before i even tried it, i don't understand what i am doing wrong :confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TVDinner:
I have installed this ROM and so far everything working perfectly. Mobile Shell reinstalled perfectly (eliminating the need to use the sucky TF3D in any way) and everything else being reinstalled. I am receiving emails, but unable to send out, which must be a setting error I made and not due to the ROM.

So far so good!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Smalls2:
Thank you thank you thank you!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryan6603:
it's got to be some step you are missing.

in your own words what are you exactly doing in steps until you get the error? include all syncs etc. What OS are you on and what phone do you have. list steps as

1.

2. etc.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Superguy:
Yeah, I saw that. It crashes for me too.

NATF: I don't know why the ROM wasn't snappy for me out of the box. Could be a disagreement with something in device ... don't know. Like I said, it worked better once I ran advanced config and reimported my config xml file.

I ran into something else with the weather DB editor and weather app. Weather DB editor wouldn't take another entry unless I exited the app and came back in. Sometimes, it'd take a few times for it to actually add the entry to the DB, even though I did it the same way every time. Also, when trying to add a city in the main weather app, it wouldn't jump correctly for reason in Germany if I tapped on a letter (M in particular ... was trying to add Munich). I had a big M stuck in the middle of the screen and it stayed at the beginning of the city list. US, Canadian and Korean cities were fine though.

As far as Exchange goes, like I said, I haven't been able to sync with it. It looks like I have to make some changes to my server since I require SSL and Exchange Mobile doesn't like that. Haven't had time to do that yet, so I'll do that in the next day or so. Running Exchange 2003.

Super
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] rareness4:
When it wouldn't download for me before, I would make sure the screen was always on, so disable any backlight timers or anything that would cause the screen to go off before it downloads and see it that works. Remember TF3D still has to be disabled with this.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
Ahh, the light came on. This has been report before with 4.0 and 4.1. Not sure what the status is though.

One post above this. You need to map them.

I am unable to map the Music key. How is this done?

battery life

My battery life seems to be in the toilet.. what the deuce..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
Right on man... Hope its good news indeed. Thnx :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Captain_Throwback:
Perhaps a different radio would help? Try the Raphael Radio thread. If you're Security Unlocked, the Blackstone Radios are said to be pretty good on battery life. If not, you can try a few other Raphael radios. I'm using the BS 1.10.25.25 radio and its pretty good on battery life, and my GPS lock is awesome, using aGPS and all.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
A little more information please. How long have you had the Fuze and how long as this been a problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tadevinney:
1st time caller long time listener.. j/k

had fuze since it came out in November. I have put on every one of NATF's Roms and as for the Radio I changed to .28 about December time frame. Everything was great on ROM v 4.0 as far as battery life. Today with very lite use I am at 43% and only had it off the charger for 5 hours. No wifi on today and in a strong signal area. Also, when I plugged into my cradle charger last night a message came up asking if I wanted to Active Sync or use as a disk drive. hmmmm
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] garyfunk:
Well, weird. I went over 24 hours and I spend a lot of time with email, text and voice. Maybe it just needs a full discharge and recharge.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NFRCER:
Indeed, I left my phone overnite at 96 percent, I woke up and had lost not more than 2%.

I left the house with 90%, talked for ~30 minutes w/ Bluetooth headset, and left Bluetooth on even when idle. 10 hours later... 63%.

I had not done so. After checking it appears that all are assigned except messaging. I changed the assignments and then changed them back and all now seems to work.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] bpm2000:
So is there any sort of recommended GPS settings or programs for this ROM now?

I am using the QuickGPs the rom came with to get the "pre" fix, but after loading up google maps and hitting "use GPS" it sits there for pretty much forever as far as I can tell without locking on to any sats.

I used to use GPStest to fix some satellite but it always took forever - is the HTC GPS tool any better? (htc tool used to lock up my old Da_G ROM).

I haven't been able to respond to that Snap2Face error yet since my account seems to be on a server being serviced or some error of that sort on facebook's side.

thx

Also, on a related note, what is the best GPS software that DOESNT require one to use their sd card? (I want one i can install on my existing 8gb, thx)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] tadevinney:
wonder if there is something goofy with the s2u2 newest version or a setting i missed as this is the only change (other then going to 4.2) that I have made.

mine was too today. went to 100 to 40 in less than 2hrs. i was like WTF but then i felt the top was hot hot and stupid me the sync was downloading 200 file attachments. duh.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryan6603:
it's not an issue but a option you can choose in connections settings. i have it to always ask me since i use it for both the HDD and sync. for the HDD option it unmounts and makes it a quickie, where's my wife, for upload and down(town)load

Weather Problems

How come i get this IDS_STATE_0 thing under the city in the weather tab, this happens with all my cities, but not at the same time, everytime i update it's different and some show the worng animation

Take a look
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] JoeTheFro:
With battery, i noticed some apps that query bluetooth can have weird battery effects. I was using a version of Winterface for its simple layout and the battery drained so fast i could watch it... Idle and drain.....

So, check your apps, or any apps that show status on things... once i turned off the bluetooth monitor from Winterface, battery was normal again.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dodadent:
I think that problem is from accuweather, i have same problem sometimes.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xgm541:
Thanks NAFT for the ROM!

I have been using this from version 3.2. And that's the version I currently have. I do however have a few questions.

First off, upgrading.. would it be possible to get version 4.2 without losing all my texts, programs, etc?

Second, I cannot get manilla 3d weather to work with S2U2. It shows the temperatures if i disable TF3D, but once i enable it again, they are gone. Is that a ROM problem?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryan6603:
ohh. have to try that one.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryan6603:
I have S2U2 and have no problems. I have had it since 3.2
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Flapjack:
Of course, I will definitely be downloading this tonight. However, I don't see any of the issues I'm having with 4.1 in the version changes.

The first (and most prominent issue) is one that's been discussed over and over, and that is the black bar/predictive test. Of all the discussion, I still do not have a fix. If you remove T9, the Full QWERTY keyboard gets stuck on numerals. If you don't remove T9, you get the black bar. On top of that, when using the Full QWERTY OSD, directly spelling out words still puts a grey "learned" word at the end of the current word. As soon as I hit the space bar, I get a word that makes no sense. ie: I'll type "home" and I'll see a random greyed out word (like "time", which was the most recent) in front of it. I hit space and get "hometime". I think have to go back and delete the extra characters. This does not happen with the physical keyboard, but I still get the black bar. If you're texting, and don't hit "enter" before sending the text, the black bar stays on the screen, and inputs the last suggested word as soon as you hit "enter". This is by far the biggest, most pain in the butt thing. It ruins an otherwise near perfect ROM.

The other problems are smaller, but repeatable.

- When switching from camera to photo album, the screen often goes black. You have to either SR, or hit the "home" button, then close out "Album" using Task Manager.

- Opera Internet connection dying. Everything else works, but Opera returns a big red "ERROR!" until you stop/start the network connection.

- Task bar flickering (might not be ROM-related). The bottom bar with the soft keys often flickers (like when you put a magnet next to an old CRT monitor). Also, you can sometimes see "Calendar" and "Contacts" ghosted into the screen. I'm certain this is not LCD "burn in", because it's not always there.

Other than that, I'm a huge NATF fan. Donation sent!!

Which ROM is best ? Most Stable

Hi there.. New Fuze (Raphael) owner and just did my first ROM upgrade the other day.. (v4.0).. Question.. I don't have alot of time to keep updating ROM's and I wanted to know what the most stable version of the NATF rom was?

Thanks so much..
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] CR7KB24:
Well i can say that this problem has been fixed in 4.2 :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] xgm541:
my problem is not with S2U2 but with TF3D displaying weather in S2U2. From my understanding, in the settings of S2U2 you can set the weather to display from "Manilla 3D" which is TF3D, but mine doesnt display the weather that TF3D downloads.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] oaa8:
I also had noticed this. It seems that sometimes it displays it for me and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't figured out what causes it but I think it has could have to do with when the whether syncs and what S2U2 is doing at the time, but could be something else.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] ryan6603:
I can't remember what version but i had this working, once. It was short lived. after that i just gave up since it was not that important to me to see it on the unlock screen. I do remember that i had to choose the weather option source (can't remember what one) and had to soft reset to see the weather displayed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Flapjack:
@NATF

Can you add this to the version history?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] DerekHaltom:
I have the same issue when I put in the accuweather code wrong. If I put in NAM|US|WV|Beckley| then that happens, but when I put in NAM|US|WV|Beckley without that last mark, it goes away.

I have a problem with my dish washer... can you help?

I have this problem from time to time. Both High/Low Temps = 32 Degrees F and IDS_STATE_0. It is a connection issue with the weather server.
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] NotATreoFan:
The black bar still exists in v4.2, but it doesn't actually insert any text when it pops up; It's been downgraded to a "graphical" glitch.

But... a fix for this is coming very soon! Stay tuned.

This is fixed by the HTC Album Fix CAB I added to the new ROM. However, the htcmdp.dll issue that fixes this problem makes YouTube videos play crappy.

I have never seen this.

Haven't seen this either...

Appreciate the response. Wouldn't be here if I didn't support the Chef.
