[HD2 General] uccoffee:
One of the tech just replied me and said cannot reproduce the problem "again" even with my video! I wrote this email up and hoping to share with you guys. Can you guys comfirm that this issue happen to EVERY post-1.66 ROM?

To reproduce the problems with 30 SMS,

1: use another mobile to send 30 SMS to the HD2, with the current Hong Kong ROM that is on the HTC website, which you will be testing.

2: press power button to turn on the phone if it is not turn on.

3: slide and unlock the phone if it is still locked.

4: Press the message tab on HTC SENSE and scroll up or down until you find the last SMS you have received.

5: Click the middle of the screen, and immediately click the "tab to compose text" within 1 second.

4: You should see a grey bar on the right hand side going toward the bottom of the screen, wait and eventually the last SMS that you have received will be highlighted.

5: You should be still able to see the onscreen keyboard, try typing some words using the onscreen keyboard with or without XT9. Nothing seems to happen because the last SMS received is highlighted.

6. There should still have a tiny white bar of "tab to compose text" area left, tap it.

7: You should be able the see some of the top bit of your words that you have typed in STEP 5 and a flashing cursor which are all covered by the onscreen keyboard.

There are 4 of problems that I would like to raise which happen in the above steps.

1: in step 4, while waiting, you can already start typing. But while you are typing, the focus will be lost when the grey bar finish loading, and the last SMS will be highlighted. This is annoying due to the way of its design which interrupts while typing SMS.

2: while you can keep typing when the SMS is highlighted, the words do not show up until you tap the “typing area” dialogue box.

3: Step 7 is just nonsense, due to the keyboard covering the typing area for no reason.

4: The more SMS there are , the slower the little grey bar on the right hand side load.

To reproduce the problem with only 1 SMS recieved.

1: use another mobile to send 1 SMS to the HD2 ,with current Hong Kong ROM that is on the HTC website, which you will be testing.

2: press power button to turn on the phone if it is not turn on.

3: slide and unlock the phone if it is still locked.

4: Press the message tab on HTC SENSE and scroll up or down until you find the last SMS you have recieved.

5: very important, click the middle of the screen, and immediately click the "tab to compose text" area within quarter a second.

4: You should see the last SMS that you have recieved highlighted straight away and the dialogue box of "tab to compose text" area should be totally blank, without a cursor flashing.

If you see the cursor flashing, that means you did not click it quick enough in step 4, repeat step 4.

5: You should be still able to see the onscreen keyboard, try typing some words using the onscreen keyboard with or without XT9. Nothing seems to happen because the cursor has lost focus.

6. Click the "tab to compose text" area , and you should see the words that you have typed in STEP 5

The 1st post said HD2 Messaging selects last message when typing? Really annoying, is this at all common?

And in the 4th post, I believe this is also related to the messaging app issue, as it tends to follow the same trend.

New SMS issue...

I've searched for this but come up with nothing.

This initially occoured with the SMS hotfix, but is now also happening with the ROM upgrade to 1.66.

When I open a message thread from someone and start writing a reply, as the last message in the thread loads it is like i have touched the screen and highlighted one of the individual messages as it turns black. I can still type although none of the text appears until i tap in the text box again, where all of the text i'd been continuing to write appears.

Please contact me straight away via email if you cannot reproduce the problems, and not wait for another 4 months.

Please don't call me after 6PM Hong kong time.

Regards,

PC
