Hi.. need help please..

When I press my volume buttons the volume control screen appears but I have to touch the volume level to change it. In other words, the volume buttons does not change the volume.

And I also noticed that when I am on the music tap listening to mp3 files and pressed one of the volume buttons two times, the first time shows the volume screen and the second one plays the next (or previous) mp3 file!!

Is this some kind of tweak that I enabled without knowing it? Or is it because I installed ScummVM and assigned the volume buttons to function in the game?
[Touch HD General] O and O:
Still got some questions guys, I'll shorten them to make things easier.

How is texting on the phone, coming from a N95 how is it in comparison?

I have a program called Big Time on my N95 is there a program like that for the HD? It basically shows when I have a missed call or text message in large icons on the screen saver.

Where are the best places to unlock the HD?

How is the Orange firmware would anyone suggest I flash it for Dutty's?

Also if anyone in interested I'm selling a Vario 4 (Touch Pro) for £400 so I can buy a HD :).

What ROM are you using? Have you installed any apps recently?
[Touch HD General] seawaves:
Duttys HD V1.7 WWE

I've been installing many stuff lately.. but the last two apps are NoCurtains and UltimateTouch (the later didn't work! or maybe I couldn't figure how!)

I've also installed few stuff from ageye: G-Alarm, G-Watch, G-Light, and Caver

How come when i install programs on the storage card, they work fine till a soft reset? just usign standard rom atm.
[Touch HD General] AllTheWay:
I'm not sure why you are having issues. Does this happen with everything you install to your SD card. What kind of microSD card do you have.
[Touch HD General] KickAssMoves:
Yeah any program i install works, then reboots and it fails saying "The File "DiamondTV" cannot be opened, Either it is not signed....................."

But if i reinstall to device, it works fine after a reset.

Its a transcend micro sd 8Gb card i got bundled with Orange.
[Touch HD General] KickAssMoves:
Further to the above.

Looking in the registery things are there with the correct path ie Storagecard\PRogram files\Proggy x

but if I go to that folder using a file explorer, its empty.

Nothing on the main program files folder either, its as if its been deleted!
[Touch HD General] Bengaz:
my pictures!

2 small problems: -

1) is there any way i can change the default location of "my pictures" folder like you can on your desktop pc. IE when i want to view pics, i allways have to explore folders when i would like it to point straight at the storage card folder.

2) how do you get rid of the screen saver. cant find it anywhere even tho i remember putting it on myself doh!

Thanks in advance...
[Touch HD General] AllTheWay:
I have the same card thought I don't use it in my HD. (It's in the Raphael)

I would format the card and see if that solves your problem.
[Touch HD General] KickAssMoves:
I was hoping to avoid doing that, oh well.

Backup and format it is!

Go to Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Event "Messaging: New message" and then selecting 'Display message on screen'?

[Touch HD General] gygabyte017:
The event "Messaging: new message" is related to what kind of messagea? with sms it doesn't work... maybe is related to emails?

btw, in the event "Messaging: new SMS", (this works with sms :)), if I enable "Display Message", the whole sms is displayed on the screen, not only the notify "1 new message"... I'd like to see only the bubble "1 new message", and a show button to display it launching Tmail, instead of the whole sms and the button "reply"... Is there a way?

Thank you
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
I suppose this may change for different wm version roms, but latest build roms 23xxx a text message will be either event "Messaging: new message" or "Messaging: new text message"

As for your second query about display bubble, this may also be affected by version of wm your using in rom, as for wm6.5 roms only message stating "1 new message" is displayed and then you click to view it

What rom are you using? stock?
[Touch HD General] gygabyte017:
thank you for your answer, I'm using LucaP's PhoenixEx1.0 (6.5.23016.5.3.0), so it's strange this behaviour...

I've done a test:

1) Disabling completely every checkbox in "new message" and "new sms", if a sms is received, nothing happens

2) Re-enabling only every checkbox in "new message", if a sms is received, nothing happens like 1)

3) Enabling every check box in "new sms" but "show message on screen", the phone plays sound and vibrate, but nothing is shown on screen

4) Enabling also "show message on screen", the whole sms is shown :(

HTC Touch HD-Camera App- Missing bmp format for pictures and missing AVI for videos

Hi,

I just got a Touch HD, its an Orange handset and I noticed that the camera app has the picture format as jpeg set as default and that tab is disabled so there are no further options. Besides that even the vifeo format tab is missing the AVI format support, it just has 3gp and mp4 which I am not liking at all. I was wondering if some one could direct me to a camera app i can just install and everything comes back like on all the other wms i have been using for 8 yrs or so. All the phones ive owned in the past had (jpeg, BMP) for pictures and (mp4, 3gp, and Avi) for videos, except for this one. Could some one please help, or suggest any other solution.

One more thing I would like to add, is that I tried the HD Tweak app which is pretty neat and opens up all those new features but even that didnt help with the format menu.

oh yeah one more thing that i would really like on the HD is if we could use the BB messenger on it, I tried BB Connect which was working but then again it doesnt have the BB messenger on it.

Thank you and Regards,

Adnshah

On a similar note, I can't get my phone to vibrate when a text message is received if the phone is on "Vibrate" and the screen is locked (i.e. pushing the power button to turn off the backlight). If the screen is unlocked (backlight on), then it will vibrate.

Searching brings up others with the same problem:

Hi all,

I couldn't find a Q&A in Rom development so hope this is not off topic...

Hi all,

Wondering if someone can help me, basically I have two problems :mad: first one is my Msn Messenger is acting funny well it showing everyone that I know is online offline. No matter what I do log off and things it keeps showing people offline.

Then the second thing is when i go to the email tab it doesnt display any email it says "No Accounts" and at the bottom new account and when I go through the process of email setup it said this:-

"settings found for:

hotmail.com

to complete setup and download email click next"

right thinking this will would setup my account it just goes back to the normal screen where it said No Accounts.

hope someone can help me :D

HI!

I have a strange problem whit my Blackstone, it doesn't send or de friend I text get a totally wrong message ( a message from a few weeks ago). sometimes they get 3 messages. I can't figure out the problem, I tried a few ROMs and get a new Blackstone from the shop but got still the same problem! does have anybody the same problem as me? Is it the sim card?

srry for my bad english
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Check that you are using GSM preferred, i.e. in Settings > Connections > Advanced Network > SMS Service

Are you using cooked or shipped roms?

Also, check you have your own country selected in Settings > System > Regional Settings and also that you are in correct timezone and not summer saving (British summer time or something similar) which may explain the time difference
[Touch HD General] The_hesham:
Close programs

What is the registery setting to close programs by pressing "ok" or "x"?
[Touch HD General] lucasbaren:
I check the sms service, that’s fine. also the time zone and country are correct.

I really don't know what kind of rom I have, it's the Mikenificent 5.0.

could it be the simcard?

Hi, My screen has Sh#t itself, every now and then after flashing a cple of ROM's it wouldn't work, it specifically started to happen after a cple of ROM's that I flashed had the device running really hot !!, wasn't just me as I had seen lot's of other people having the heating problem happen as well, then followed by screen not turning on for a while, the last ROM I flashed worked OK for a bit, then rather then doing 2 hard resets as I should of done I messed around installing a few cabs hear and there then after one of the installs it says "you need to restart your device", it did, but with no screen but I heard it boot into windows....this had previously happened a lil hear and there leading up to this moment and as I said it seemed to start around about the time I started running 1 or 2 ROM's that made the device run really hot !!, (regardless of weather it was because the wrong radio was installed), but after a while of not using the device and sometimes opening up the back of the cover to let it cool, the screen would start to work again once the power on button was pressed, so it gradually got worse, happening a lil more and more. Then it wouldn't work at all for a whole day I started to freak out but after letting it sit for a while and it still not working. I put it into bootloader mode then reflashed the ROM, I blindly navigated my way through the flash untill it got up to the stage at which it says "tap to set-up", then the screen reappeared.....then to be on the safe side I did 2 more hard resets, and it ran like a dream for 2 weeks, which BTW was alot friendlier on my bettery !!....Now....finally last weekend just gone I flashed the cooks latest ROM, and as I said above got side tracked and didn't do 2 hard resets and installed a few cabs hear and there, then rebooted, but now it refuses to work evan when I've reflashed the ROM, and tryed everything that I did to pull me out of this hole before, but to no avail....., it seems as though...., to qoute Jason Stathom from the movie "Snatch"...."Proper ****ed"...., after some people telling me it could be the screen or the digitizer or maybe both, I trying to isolate which part it would be, so I can order the part off Ebay. If it was just the digitizer then I should still have my screen but the touch side of things would not work ??, anyone else...?, also...., since it kind of started happening (every now and then), would this mean that it could be just a loose conection ??, I've got no cracked screen, nothing has been dropped...., but as I said earlier the device boots, I know cause I can hear it, when I press the home button the device vibrates, but It's definitly not responding to touch and there's no screen so that would mean I need a new screen as well as a digitizer....???, sorry for the long winded story, but am needing a lil guidance...., Thanks in advance. Nick.....

Touch HD ROM and OS questions...

Well, I have been lurking through the forums and read the FAQ's and I still seem to have a few questions. I hope I won't get blasted here, but if so, please go easy on me.

I purchased a Touch HD online recently and it has Miri WM6.5 on it (10.1WWE) After using the device for a few days, I am not sure if I really like the interface. It seems kind of slow and laggy and often times icons will be selected when I am not actually selecting them. Also, the phone is very slow to answer when I touch the answer key. In general, the phone seems slow all the way around. I am used to WM6 on my Hermes, and would be more comfortable with settings and such on WM6.1 on the Touch HD. I have read through MANY of the flashing tutorials on this site and I am thinking about flashing this device back to HTC stock ROM with WM 6.1 since I would assume that it will run more smoothly. I am VERY nervous though about flashing a ROM on this phone as I don't want to brick it. I have Olinex 1.56 (I read how to check for this on this site...thanks) In theory, I should be able to do this if I follow the tutorial, but I am VERY worried something will go wrong. I tried a HARD RESET, (thinking it would flash back to the STOCK HTC WM6.1) but it simply reloaded the same Miri WM6.5 back onto the phone. So, having said all of this, keep in mind I am a novice user and have never flashed anything (except my wife) should I just leave everything alone and learn to live with it? Keep my trusty Hermes? I like the HD, but it just seems like WM6.5 does not run well on it. The menu options are strange too, but I am not sure if they are part of WM6.5 or the actual phone menus itself. More than anything right now, I guess I need advice? Any input from anyone would be appreciated since I am not really sure what I should do. I downloaded the RUU wrapper (which I am guessing is the stock HTC ROM) and the .NET 3.5 framework. I am assuming I will have to download the radio as well? Or will it be contained in the Wrapper? I honstly don't know, and some of this can be a little confusing to the novice user. I would even be willing to pay someone for this service if it is advisable...?? Thanks in advance, and remember, please go easy on me.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
First off, no need to panic. This why we are here, to help. You currently have HSPL 1.56 on your device and you want to return to stock rom. A simple guide for doing this including everything you need to do it can be found at the bottom of the first post in this thread.

When you flash a rom it will not change your radio unless a radio is included within the rom wrapper your flashing. All stock roms can be found here. List of available radio's can be found here.

Hope this helps

Rick
[Touch HD General] SilverSnow:
Thanks Rick! I had previously saved all of the links that you mentioned in my favorites tab so that I could refer to them when I had enough courage to flash them. I am still VERY nervous about doing this, but I guess I will never know until I try? Anyway, I am assuming that the stock ROM will revert back to WM6.1 right? After tinkering with the device since my last post, I still do not really like WM6.5. On a side note, I cannot get my e-mail to show up in my in-box. I can log-on, and it says recieving, but then nothing shows up inbox. Either way, that is an issue I suppose I can sort out later, but an annoyance all the same. The music album art seems to move painfully slow when you swipe across them in landscape mode and the music tends to skip and stutter alot. I won't even go into my frustration with trying to find connections settings for the various connections on this phone. I miss good old WM6...simple...easy...and intuitive. (sigh) I hope WM6.1 on this phone will be easier for me to use and understand. Or, am I assuming too much?
[Touch HD General] naa77:
Thanks fallen Sparten.....!!, have purchased a lil tool kit and have downloaded the service manual and have tryed opening up the back, but need the special plastic tool for the job, which I think is normally bundelled with the new screen/digitizer, but just wanted to make sure that it wasn't just a loose connection inside, I soon realised that I'm only going to damage things if I don't have that tool, so will just order the part, then do it....Thanks for posting the threads !!:):)
[Touch HD General] naa77:
So, FallenSparten....., have just read through all those threads, and seem to be getting some conflicting stories, some people are saying that they needed to replace the whole mainboard, yet the softkeys still vibrated to touch according to them...?, where as others are saying a new screen/digitizer will get the job done, Hmmm......If my divice still boots and windows starts cause I can hear it then surely the main board is AOK...?, If I had a PC that the mainboard had packed it in then surely the whole thing would not work....?, unless it's just a cple of tiny circuits on the mainboard that deal directly with the screen and digitizer...??:confused::confused:. I'll have to do some proper costing, but if it's a mainboard then I'm assuming that it will just be cheaper to chuck it away and get a new phone.....?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
I'm not an expert on this as this hasn't happened to me (touch wood), but from reading your post I would suggest its the digitizer and not the motherboard. You may get a more accurate response if you ask within one of the threads I posted earlier as these people are experiencing the same issues as you.
[Touch HD General] ronbo76:
Is there no hope?

Back in the day when I got my first iPaq PDA, some were notorious for their screens blanking out or getting out of alignment. There was a virtual software that when you synced your PDA up, you were able to control the PDA via the computer.

Often users found that some part of an installation had botched the screen dll files and knocked them out because the computer was able to display all the PDA screens and oprerate it as if the PDA were fully functional.

In the case of alignments, tapping in small circles usually would locate how far the alignment was displaced. Let's say that by tapping one quarter inch to the four o'clock position caused the xhair to move. If you remember where the tap that got the xhair to move (four o'clock in this case), you would tap in that approximate position until you were able to bring the screen back into alignment with multiple screen alignments - each narrowing the displacement.

Surely there must be a virtual smartphone app like this for HTC phones?
[Touch HD General] SilverSnow:
WM 6.5 might not be so bad after all...

So, I decided not to flash my Touch HD back to the factory ROm and WM6.1...just yet. I downloaded HD tweak and after adjusting some of the various settings, I think I may have come to an "understanding" with my device. It's not as sluggish as it was before (still a little slow though) but it seems tolerable now. I finally figured out the trick to getting my text messaging working. The MMS was kind of tricky, but I managed to get it to work as well. However, since I do not have a data plan, I use the NO DATA program to keep the data connection turned off since it always tries to connect on it's own. I really don't want a $200 suprise on my wireless bill. Over all, I REALLY like this device and WM 6.5 seems a lot easier to use than I initially thought. It can be a little "buggy" at times, but nothing too terrible. I have noticed that the Bluetooth range on my older HTC TyTn was far better than on my Touch HD...strange. The weather animations with WM 6.5 seem to really slow this device down...has anyone else noticed this? Anyone have any idea why my data connection always seems to want to connect on it's own? I used the 15 second time out feature on HD Tweak, but after it disconnects, it tries to reconnect again. Hmmm...
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Appears to be an issue with a number of latest wm6.5 roms where data connection tries to connect automatically. I've tried disabling all auto updates like weather/stock, facebook, GPSfix etc etc and still it tries. I also use NoData as this is a quick fix for it.

Changing language from Spanish (Telefonica carrier) to English or French

Q Question

I have bought a HTC Touch HD. The phone is carried by Telefonica (I can not find this carrier on your list) and I can not therefore find the right Rom, Radio and Protocol to update the version to english or French. I am almost unable to use my brand new phone, so any help would be very welcomed.

I am really starting to like this device more and more each day! The more features I learn to use on it, the more I seem to enjoy it. I purchased pocket DVD studio and now have my own private movie theater in the palm of my hand! I also managed to snag an awesome deal on a cradle, 2 batts, screen protector and silicone case! $20 bucks! I do have another question though. Does anyone know where I can find the setting to adjust the touch sensitivity on this device? I have Miri's rom with WM6.5 if that matters... I know the setting is here somewhere, but I cant seem to find it. Oh, and do you think that the HTC location service has anything to do with the device always wanting to connect to the data service? Just curious...
[Touch HD General] mike.waters:
Hi Silver Snow, suggest you do a search in XDA-developers for HD Tweak by Montecristoff. This application allows you to modify lots of registry settings (like screen fluidity, sensitivity, power settings, behaviour during calls, etc) directly, instead of having to use a registry editor and a list of settings.
[Touch HD General] SilverSnow:
Thanks Mike.... I already have HD tweak... and tried the sensitivity settings listed in there, but it didn't really seem to make a difference. Maybe it is just me?
