Keyboard Fails to Launch

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.

I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.

After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.

Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.

The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....

It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.

These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.

Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.

That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.

I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Added the tag at the start so people didn't think it was available here yet :P

So I'm sure many people have seen the news

http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/12/10/opera-mobile-10-for-android-now-available-but-not-to-you/

This, along with the new Google Maps navigation, are probably the two things I've always wanted from my phone. I've wanted to ditch the standard, slow, messy default Android browser for so long, and finally it looks like we're getting a decent replacement, albeit, not easily it looks.

I'm really hoping this arrives to the G1, fingers crossed it won't be too tied in to new phones that it won't be portable.

Eagerly awaiting a leak of this one ;).

Just download the Dolphin Browser from the market, its a fantastic browser and has google bookmark syncing so all you bookmarks will be there if you use Chrome on your pc. it has tabbed browsing and its themeable (if thats a word).
[G1 Apps and Games] toca79:
Dolphin is surely great but i really want to give a try to opera too, i used the beta 10 on my previous hd2 and it was really sweet!

Hope to see it soon.

I noticed that dolphin sync with google import the single bookmarks but not the folders, so they are all mixed up, am i doing something wrong?

hi!

I've linked most of my contacts with Facebook but for some reason some of them will not come up with pictures and the ones that do never seem to update when said person changes their profile pic, not a big problem but does anyone know of a way to fix this??

thanks!
[HD2 General] mightycaz:
shameless bump!!
[HD2 General] reeco:
I had the same problem. But if u just kept removing the facebook link and readding them it should work. if not leave it for a few days and it should work. But there is deffo a bug with the contact pics getting added.

Bit of a pain really.
[HD2 General] bzdemes:
I have had a similar problem. Try scrolling to the updates option and tell it to update. Typing this on the hd2. Wierd problem it scrolls the text box up to far when i get the keyboard out so i cant see what i am typing
[HD2 General] eskasi:
I think its got to do with privacy settings for that contact....
[HD2 General] bzdemes:
That might explain the one contact i have that still wont work but the rest are sll working for me now.

I just bought a Samsung Jack, I previously had a B lackjack II. On my Blackjack II when I opened up IE it took me back to the last page I was viewing. Now with the Jack when I open IE it automatically loads up a preset home page (which is very annoying). Is there a setting or something I can do that will keep IE running and not refresh back to a home page everytime I navigate through the phone options?

I can only seem to change the home tab wallpaper, and the lock screen one. I've looked and searched through forum and perhaps I'm just not using the right words when I search, but I'm trying to find a way to give each tab it's own wall paper. What am I missing? Is there a cab file somewhere? Or am I just being that dumb and not seeing some obvious setting?

I've had my htc hd2 for only a week and a half roughly, so I'm still getting used to it.

Thanks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
As far as I'm aware, there's not currently a way to set different wallpaper for each tab. The options are to have wallpaper on the home tab, with the grey background for the rest of them, or to have the same wallpaper on all tabs.

Obviously the latter is the more popular choice.
[HD2 General] camper:
dears, how to make the latter one?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stats:
It's quite obscure... while the screen is switched off, it arbitrarily switches on, but within a split second, it switches off (causing a flashing effect). Anyone else experience this? Any solutions?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanheath:
My girlfriend's xperia play does the same thing. while the screen is turned off, her phone will turn on as if you were to press the power button, then turn back off after about 5 seconds, and will keep doing that for hours. ive been trying to figure out whats causing it but i have no clue. did you ever figure it out?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VSJ:
simple,

1. diagnose what's ur phone problm...

- flash it to original ROM / stock ROM or any recommended ROM

- if problem still --> h/w problem

2. if u had xperience in disassembling phone, try to disassemble it, and see if something broken. 1st priority, check flex cable since it is usually broken. if nothing wrong --> service centre is least option
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] exidler:
This is locker (screen and sometimes buttons) what i have made for myself.

It's alternative for S2U2 and windows screen lock.

Main features:

1. Lock screen and keys on wake up, but only when ambient light level low

2. Lock screen when any phone activity (dialing, talking, incoming call offering). Because proximity sensor works not very good.

3. Quick unlock without slide using double click on hardware Back button

4. Quick power off after resume if not unlocked

5. Adapted for Inesoft Phone (greate app for me because of customizing contact rings and custom names for phone fields of contacts)

Additional features:

1. Reminders for missed calls, unread sms messages

2. Screen off after call connected

3. Vibrate alerting during the call: connected, n-th second of talking

4. Alternative sms alerting (used by me for setup once and did not setup again after reflash :)

5. SMS patch utility replace of Zenyee disable Htc Messaging (white form appears on the screen for short time nervous me)

6. Auto redial if call dialing failed

7. Changing keyboard when stylus in/out (yep, i know that HD2 does not have stylus)

8. Simulate stylus out event for unlocking S2U2 with double click on hardware button Back

Disadvantages

1. Settings changed only through registry

2. Minimalistic interface

Advantages

1. First stable build of this utility with good CAB install and uninstall (hope for this)

2. Changed for best (for me) locking of the phone :)

3. Native code only (I like managed code, but it's speed periodically sucks for small apps)

Install

1. Install attached CAB

2. Settings described in readme.txt file in installed directory (default is \Program Files\HtcExtFun)

Hints

1. This tool can not lock Answer and End hardware keys in call (i don't know hot to apply this and don't want to do this)

Will be interest for your feedback!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bbonzz:
A pity none has still posted his feedback, so let me be the first.

1- great app: i use version 0.2 since a long time with great satisfaction (and now that Leo roms disables transcriber in SipMenu, HtcExtFun is the only way to recall it)

2- What did work in old version seems to work well in this one as well (i used only stylus in/out and missed calls/sms reminder)

3- On my device the new screen lock doesn't work. Maybe it's because i have a Blackstone and not a Leo? Anyway i run Manila 2.5.1921 (as Leo), and on resume after suspend the "screen locked" square is there. But not only i can normally use my screen (i can swipe across Manila tabs without problems), but trying to slide the slider nothing happens: the square is still there, the cursor doesn't move. It's a pity, because this was a great improvement (it works with the back double tap, but it's the only way [and i don't like it, since when in my pocket i often press keys]).

4- It's useless i post a screenshot since what appears is the same as in yours

5- Can i suggest you to post your app in "Dev&Hacking" forum? I never read this one since i don't have a Leo, and so only for chance did find you released a new improved version.

6- There are some undocumented reg values:

* HandleSmsPatch

* MaximizeVolumeTime

* LSensorOffValue (i suppose it's for light sensor?)

7- You have not documented that "ScreenLockWhenResumePowerOff"=dword:00000000 disables the poweroff timeout

8- A thing i don't like is that app add itself missing registry keys filling them with standard values. So i, on purpose, didn't add the AlertNewSmsScript and AlertNewSmsSound, but at first start the app did add them to registry.

9- For your records, this is my reg config:

Hi exidler,

I just tried your soft, which was cool but not the soft-locker I want.

So I wanted to unsintall ... damn! It doesn't work.

Whenever I try, I got that error message "can't register touch driver" (a window titled HtcExtFun Unsintall).

I try after deleting the startup link, and a softreset, so that the exe wasn't running ..

How can I proceed ?

Thank you in advance.

I'm in the same case. I've already deleted all the corresponding keys in the reg but nothing else to do. I'm still stuck with that problem. And no way to reinstall it.

[G1 Apps and Games] Mi|enko:
Can anybody that gets it let us know if you're forced to use the carrier billing, or if you can just keep it set to Google Checkout? Personally, I love the fact that it comes out of my checking account immediately and that I can see the transaction online. I'm also concerned how this will impact the 24 hour refunds.
[G1 Apps and Games] carnegie0107:
According to Tmo and reports from users who have it, yes, Google Checkout remains an option. You can use whatever one you want. And the 24-hour refund policy is still in place.

That said... this thread has nothing to do with development, or the Dream hardware (specifically). It needs to be moved to the Android apps forum.
[G1 Apps and Games] ebg10:
Can we pull the new market off a device that has the update it and push it to our devices. If so, does anyone have the new market?
[G1 Apps and Games] LucidREM:
No New Threads

as stated prior .. this should be a dead thread .. it is not specific to the dream dev .. from everything i have seen and read concerning any and all changes to Market it is device specific and controlled by your firmware version .. therefore those using v1.6 may not be able to use the new Market .. it is not simply a matter of loading a new file on your phone

that said .. anyone can feel free to correct my statement .. but please refrain from adding new threads for such things and direct these kinds of statements and/or questions to the appropriate (already existing) thread

[G1 Apps and Games] swivel:
There's no such thing as the last page of Cyanogen's thread! LOL
[G1 Apps and Games] carnegie0107:
I know. It's annoying, having something get off subject because a bunch of people post off-topic, isn't it? Which is why threads started in the wrong section (especially DEVELOPMENT, where real work goes on) get flamed. So, uh, "klowns" need to post where they should. If you don't, don't complain when people post off-topic in your off-topic thread.

Edit: This thread isn't another stupid "Tried this moto klick app now my fone says t-mobiel g1 help! plz" one, it genuinely has something to offer, and it was a simple misunderstanding posting it here, instead of in apps. Which is why a few members here mentioned that it was in the wrong section, but nobody was rude towards the OP for it, and why the thread should probably just be moved, instead of locked. We can all still be nice. Yes?

heres the apk its just renamed not zipped:

goes in data/app you should be able to install it with a package manager
[G1 Apps and Games] TemporalShadows:
Yeah the build has to be HIGHER THAN 1660 for it to work, I don't know what the exact build number should be. I tried pushing the Vending.apk from the Droid 2.0.1 dump to /system/app to replace the existing one, no dice. Downloaded 1660 from the previous post and pushed it to /system/app, works fine. Anyone else have any luck?
[G1 Apps and Games] ebg10:
Does carrier billing work?
[G1 Apps and Games] TemporalShadows:
No, 1660 doesn't have it...you have to have some version > 1660. I just installed that one because I forgot to backup my existing 1620 before I tried the one from the Droid dump. The one from the 2.0.1 Droid dump was odex'ed anyway, so I would imagine that's part of the problem there.

I just tried the one from Manup456's Eclair ROM also...but it wouldn't work either. I'm guessing all of them from the 2.0 ROMs were built specifically for 2.0 and won't work on 1.6. I guess we'll either have to wait for the automatic update OR wait for someone to upload the new version.

There will be probably more roms available from HTC

There has been 1.48 few days ago with 1.49 already out and Ithink this will be going on until Version 1.60.xxx

The question might only be, how many Roms will there be between...

Why I think so?

That's simple .... because look at the TExt coming with the Camera Update
