---------------------------------

Hi NRG + all others,

it's me again. I've made a collection of issues/bugs once again. So just take a look and see what you can fix.

Note:

This issues have been found by some users due to "beta" testing the current rom version (see title). Although they all are called "issues/bugs" they do not have to be it. Sometimes issues are caused due to wrong configuration, unstable cabs installed by users (or the cook :p), wrong flashing or intentions of HTC/other developers. This list has not to be complete, but contains sometimes useful workarounds! That's it. ;)

01 - EzInput 2.0 - Phone-Keypad SIP missing

State: unfixed

After the EzInput 2.0 SIP package has been cooked in, it is only possible to select Block Recognizer, Keyboard, Letter Recognizer and Touch Input (basically new EzInput 2.0). As far as I could find out the current VGA version of EzInput 2.0 does not contain this SIP - so it is not really a bug. There is also another (beta) version of the EzInput 2.0, that does contain the Phone-Keypad, but only for WVGA.

Because the missing SIP is a "must-have" for many users, the cook hast to find a solution for that... please. :D My suggestion: NRG please restore the state of build 52909 and anybody who wants other keyboards can install a cab!

BTW: Anybody who wants compact QWERTY mode takes a look here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=506846

This is also the

official EzInput 2.0 VGA development thread

. If something is not working, look here at first.

As an additional hint you can take a look at this for customizing in general! Each entry has a "subkey" called IsSIPInputMethod with string (Default) = 1. Change any of them to 0 to disable the SIP.

[HKCR\CLSID\...]

(HTC SIPs)

{198D503A-...} = Phone Keypad <<< Missing!

{36BC8FF6-...} = Full QWERTY <<< Reused by EzInput 2.0 as "Touch Input"

{62B00599-...} = Compact QWERTY <<< Missing!

(MS Default SIPs)

{42429667-...} = Keyboard

{42429690-...} = Letter Recognizer

{42429691-...} = Block Recognizer

{F0034DD0-...} = Transcriber <<< Missing!

02 - EzInput 2.0 - No spacebar when creating new appointments

State: unfixed

When creating a new appointment, the Touch Input (EzInput) keyboard does not allow to write spaces. The spacebar is replaced by ".com" and "/" button! Changing this seems to be impossible.

03 - WM phone dialer skin not convenient to rom design

State: unfixed

Although this entry is based mainly on personal opinions/flavors, I think it is important to many users. The current skin of the WM default dialer is not very nice. And the HTC dialer (reactivated with Advanced Config ("phone skin")) has still a scroll bug when scrolling through your contacts in dialer mode (overlapping). So for now here are some alternative skins for the WM default dialer:

04 - Shortcut icon with low resolution

State: unfixed

Start/System/Task Manager

05 - Long SMS messages truncated in TF3Dv2 (skinned) threaded view

State: unfixed

The main TF3Dv2 messages panel shows the usual truncated version of a SMS - that's normal. But when you click on it, the new skinned TF3Dv2 threaded view is opend and then you can't read it completely ether, because it is truncated again. For now the only sollution is to select "All Messages" soft-key and then open the message again. Then the old WM default threaded view / single message view is opened and you can read everything! The question is: a bug (TF3Dv2, HTC, NRG) or a feature (just an threaded overview)? ;) And hangable/fixable?

06 - YouTube not running

State: unfixed, workaround

When trying to start the message "not enough memory - needs 8mb" comes up. Sollution:

- Install cab: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3879858&postcount=5652

- Change this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=3886162&postcount=876

- Soft reset!

07 - "Mute-When-Flipped-Down" and "Vibrate-When-Call-Established"

State: unfixed

This options do not work even if activated.

08 - Instability seems to be a serious issue

State: unfixed, workaround

Instability seems to be a serious issue for this rom in combination with some devices. Often people do something wrong when flashing / customizing (HardSPL, Radio, Hard-Reset etc.), but sometimes it seems to be weird and just the following workaround helps. In some cases there are problems like not booting devices, devices forgetting their config after soft-reset, devices stucked up in boot screen or a booting loop... and so on... and this workaround should not be the final solution. I'm just glad that my phone does not make any trouble...

09 - Titanium tab "photos" only scans two folders

State: unfixed

The Titanium tab "photos" just looks into "/My Documents/My Pictures" and "/Internal Storage/DCIM/100MEDIA". Sure, that has not to be a bug, but does anybody know, if it is possible to set a 3rd (4th etc.) directory for the tab to be scanned (e.g. "/Internal Storage/My Documents/My Pictures")?

10 - Windows Media Player library scans whole device

State: unfixed

When the library of WMPlayer is opened and refreshing, it scans the whole device. Is it possible to restrict it to some/one directory(s)??? It's annoying to have the ringtones in my library after each refresh...

11 - HTC Album does not flip images on device rotation

State: unfixed

It always shows the images rotated/fitting to landscape mode. Nice because usage of free space maximized, but bad because it should be the users' choice. The question again: a bug or a feature? And changable/fixable?

12 - "Action" softkey missing in Titanium mode

State: unfixed

Some users miss (me too) the "action" softkey known from TF3Dv2 in Titanium mode... but that's rather a request than a bug!

13 - "Action-Screen" in TF3Dv2 has wrong background

State: unfixed

That's just due to a consistent look of the rom!

14 - In-call volume not changeable

State: unfixed

Nothing to add... :D

15 - Auto-Rotation does not work

State: unfixed

In TF3Dv2 panel "settings" contains an subentry "G-Sensor". Behind that you can find the Auto-Rotation option activated - but not working.

16 - SMS delivery notification can't be activated

State: unfixed

When creating a new SMS message (NOT in TF3Dv2 skinned threaded view) the "Message Options..." button of the "Menu" softkey is always grayed out. It seems to be impossible to enter the message options by another way to even "see" the "delivery notification" option. AFAIR this worked 'til build 60109 (v1) or at least build 52909!

17 - No word-wrap within TF3Dv2 threaded view "answer-box"

State: unfixed

When typing a new SMS the text does not "word wrap" within the little "answer-box" (in TF3Dv2 skinned threaded view). It just keeps going and going to the right. Makes it hard to edit if there's a mistake. I guess it's a bug, because who wants to write a SMS in one single line? But who knows... :rolleyes:

18 - WM timezone/clock <=/=> HTC world clock

State: unfixed

If the timezone/clock in HTC world clock is set (TF3Dv2 home screen), the windows timezone is set automatically to this timezone +1. So the appointments are 1 hour ahead. The windows timezone/clock setting has to be corrected and then HTC world clock and windows clock show the right/same time. But after that HTC world clock should not be "touched" again, or everything has to be done once again. This seems to be a HTC bug... and maybe it's related to a DST problem (also HTC?).

19 - Option to deactivate "Dim-Backlight-On-Unlock-Screen" missing

State: unfixed, workaround

Seems that this option is missing in latest build and option in Advanced Config does not work. Here is a workaround: Go to registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight and set DimBKLinUnlockScreen = 0.

Hope it helps to get through this huge bunch of posts since your last release... :D

BTW: Wouldn't that be a nice template for an FAQ post at the threads beginning??
