HTC Sense 3 pixels too high

Just flashed the new ROM and the HTC Sense screens are all too high (a few pixels high leaving a gap above the bottom menu bar), and HTC Sense crashes (freezes and have to reset, other apps keep working) from time to time.

Is it just me? Is there a fix?

Thanks
[HD2 General] jimsteach:
DexyG Yes using HSPL, it works fine. early days yet though I could give you more feedback tomorrow. I have also installed the newer radio at the same time (2.07) I live in a poor reception area and the HD2 has been much worse than my old nokia, so will see if that helps. Im not going to do any of the cache edits yet, just want to see if they have managed to stop that eating all the memory.

Used storage after flash is 44.MB (im sure 1.61 took 65.MB after flashing)

150MB free
[HD2 General] jimsteach:
Dont have that problem fella, maybe try reflashing.
[HD2 General] insaned:
just installed the 1.66 WWE test trough HSPL and seems good so far. I'll report any bugs that I can find..
[HD2 General] jimsteach:
Has anyone worked out how to loose the really poor startup tune thats been added to the new ROM?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate...

Now that would be telling.....!

It is 100% legitimate though, I assure you.

hope the german rom comes next..

There are so many different posts is there one way of just doing it

[HD2 General] CyberClaw:
Will this European WWE ROM work directly on unbranded European (Portuguese) HD2?
[HD2 General] gwelwhir:
Thanks! :)

Mentioned this in the LEO Official ROMs thread so if it's uploaded to the shared folder there, it will be downloadable more.
[HD2 General] tfouto:
how is this the official WWE version if is not yet in the HTC site?
[HD2 General] waxfresh:
leaked i guess..
[HD2 General] paulking:
probably the same way you can get albums 2 weeks before their release date?

has anyone in the UK tried this yet? don't reallt know what im doing so would rather a less idiotic person try it first :P
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's another one of those ROMs that gets called official, just because someone says "Here - have a ROM. It's official ;)"

If it were official, I'd be able to download it from the HTC site. I'm not saying it's not the actual ROM that HTC will one day put on there, but it is not official.

(Anyone who disagrees with that last statement doesn't understand the word official.)

Downloading as we speak :)
[HD2 General] g.lewarne:
already running it on my 12 hour old HD2, flashed just fine with HardSPL.

Seems to be better suited to the uk than the SEA version, keyboard back to normal. much faster than the stock 1.43 it came with this morning :)

cant say i have had a siongle problem with it so far :D
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've had the SEA version on my phone since last week, and it was great - a few niggles ironed out. I don't know what it is about this one though, it seems faster and smoother. Maybe I'm imagining it (probably), but it just seems better!

So far so good anyway. I'll need to set all my software back up before I'll know for sure.
[HD2 General] 04r1belgium:
Updated from 1.43 to the new SEA 1.66 today.

Seems to run a lot more smoothly indeed.

If you upgrade to 1.66 - stay away from the "Enhance Performance" registry tweak. It will mess up the phone and you'll need to hard reset to recover.

Overall very happy with the 1.66 update :-)
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah - I saw that somewhere earlier. It would be nice to be able to put a big warning about this somewhere so it doesn't get missed - maybe in the 1st post of this thread?
[HD2 General] paulking:
has anyone got another link to the backup program thing? this http://rapidshare.com/files/191036103/PPCPimBackup2.8__run_from_phone_.exe wont let me download it.

only really need to back up my contacts, everything else is on the memory card :)
[HD2 General] sharpey:
is there a new version of the 1% battery meter yet?

the old one leaves a black space where the speaker icon should be
[HD2 General] Archer:
I should learn to read - I just sent you a message, but you can ignore it.

I've read your post properly now :p

Have you tried Microsoft MyPhone? Within a couple of minutes of flashing I've got all my contacts, calendar, texts - even the fave people on the people tab!
[HD2 General] paulking:
i did try it but it tried sgning into my windows live account and said it could connect :confused:

ok its working now...bloody thing

cheers for the message aswel lol, i downloaded it ages ago but thought id let someone who knows what they're doing try it first :P
[HD2 General] Archer:
That ain't good. Shame, cos I've never had a problem with it and I currently swear by it!

There's something better coming soon though ;)

Just remember these words - "It's not my phone. It's yours."
[HD2 General] Jack E:
Works fine for me :)
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Ha, you can say that again. First time around, I applied the setting without knowing it would break things... everything got messed up and I had to hard reset.

Then I rememebered reading that FATFS registry tweak had caused issues for others (on previous ROMs, not 1.66) so I decided to not apply that tweak... but next time around, I forgot and applied it among all the other registry tweaks and it lead to another hard reset. :D

Anyway, does anyone know if the European version has CoPilot? Or which WWE other than SEA does not?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate - the latest Euro version does have CoPilot on it.
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
Why do you want to download this software from RapidShare, when you can download it from official site without any limitations? http://www.dotfred.net/default.htm
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
Could you please check what version of CoPilot has this ROM? If the latest one (v8.0.0.557) or any older. Thanks
[HD2 General] Archer:
Where is the version number?? I can't find a simple about screen anywhere.
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
Go to Main Menu > Settings > About CoPilot
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
So, if that WWE-one is the "official" one, is it then possible to flash it on regular way (without GoldCard or HSPL) on e.g. a German LEO? I will try it, but MegaUpload is damn slow atm for me... it's 21KB/s :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
I have Copilote 8.0.0.457 after the ROM install
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
So It's the same version as in 1.48 ROM. :(
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
It's a shame the WWE ROM has the CoPilot trial on it as I don't want it...running the SEA ROM and it's not on it so makes my life easier as I use iGO
[HD2 General] paulking:
just finnished flasshing 1.66, screen seems a little less responsive so far, just on the setup though

edit...now to re-install everything :( lol

edit2: screen is fine now just installing it all to the card...hoping the files will be overwritten instead of duplicated...

has anyone tried sending text messages yet?
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Hmm, I thought the Euro version probably had CoPilot as before... I guess my main question was which ROM would be most suitable without CoPilot and non-English input.

I have a GoldCard and HSPL so it's no issue for me to install any of these ROMs... just would rather not have CoPilot pre-installed as it seems to take up a lot of space even if you remove the removable files.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Sorry mate - my PC decided to play silly beggars on me and locked up for ages!

I hate powering it down :mad:
[HD2 General] PJTOUCHHD:
Still waiting ever so patiently, been really good today, only checking every 10 mins or so:D
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
SEA 1.66 ROM is the one you want, runs fine in English...
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
Haha, no mate, it isn't.

I guess you missed all the posts by me whining about the XT9 not being able to be disbaled on the SEA ROM. XT9 always turns on again after a reboot, and what's even more annoying is that HTC's XT9 interferes with other keyboards, such as Swype which doesn't even need XT9.

But otherwise, you're right, SEA is perfect... no CoPilot or anything extra, snappy and smooth. Cheers anyway.
[HD2 General] repoman1966:
Because I do a lot of work out in the Middle East, I decided to install the new Arabic 1.66 Rom. After install i noticed that the storage memory was only 141 Meg. I decided to install the SEA 1.66 Rom and found that my storage memory had increased to almost 195 meg. I can only assume that not having the co pilot trial and Arabic customization accounts for this increase.
[HD2 General] madpete:
This does not happen on my phone, and I just flashed SEA 1.66.

Did you go into the keyboard setup options and turn it off in there, or just from the keyboard?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
And already Dutty has today released a Custom ROM based on 1.66 ROM!
[HD2 General] casci:
If they call it ROM 1.66, I don't think it's only an SMS fix.
[HD2 General] arxx:
They might :) better than calling it "3rd. SMS hotfix" ;)
[HD2 General] de Wolfe:
Of course it won't be only a SMS-fix. But this is THE mother of HD2-bugs - that's why they point it out in that way.
[HD2 General] Rollmops:
Maybe they just removed the previous hotfix to inject it in the ROM, et voilà... Some more hopes, some more tests, and some more disappointed customers in 1-2 days...

Flashing and fiddling with my HD2 in order to get very basic functionalities working is getting old...
[HD2 General] alexnvidia:
can someone provide a valid WWE SEA device serial number to download please? thanks
[HD2 General] romac:
No one has tried to ROM yet and already the negative comments are starting. lol
[HD2 General] Rollmops:
Yeah, sorry... got a little burned with that whole SMS fiasco... Let's HTC benefit from the doubt then...
[HD2 General] arxx:
Isn't its strange if it only will be available in SEA region? Does that happens from time to time with HTC, or does they always release it worldwide at the same time. Anyone know?
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Its not just an HD2 bug, my Kaiser started doing the same as soon as I was using a WM6.5 custom ROM.
[HD2 General] FrankCastle:
newbie question here - when the ROM is available for all regions on the htc website(s) - can i choose a european one rather than an asia pacific/australia one? (so i can have co-pilot)

im currently using stock rom 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, I agree, which is why I would not have said that :)

Yes mate, as soon as it's available. I don't like getting downloads off here for different versions other than the official ones, so I'll be waiting for the same one.
[HD2 General] arxx:
It seems to be a HTC Messaging issue. Are you using that?
[HD2 General] Vista2547:
Help!

Could someone make this "New Firmware Version 1.66.707.1" available to the rest of us?
[HD2 General] FrankCastle:
not sure if you may have mis-understood? my phone is unlocked.. will there be any downsides to downloading an official europe ROM compared to an asiapacific/australia one?

the reason i ask is becuase asia pacific HD's dont have co-pilot included :|
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
has anyone got any kind of intimation from HTC about when is it going to be released on other sites?..i've just sent them an email, but not really expecting a prompt reply.
[HD2 General] Starfury:
Does Co-Pilot have worldwide maps as standard then?
[HD2 General] romac:
Quite often ROMs are released in SEA first, and then a couple of days later to other reigons, perhaps to gauge the initial reaction?
[HD2 General] arxx:
A couple of days.. ok, i might slow down on my CTRL + F5 then ;)
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
it's mid day now in the UK....they have just about 4 or 5 hrs to release it, if not then the soonest we can expect it is monday. at least that wht i think, does anyone think HTC will have a weekend release for the new ROM?

P:S i still cant stop myself from refreshing every few mins. tho..lol :D
[HD2 General] bronx:
ok.... couldn't wait - installed that "official" rom from megaupload... guess what?? THAT DAMN ALARM STILL DOESN'T WORK! :mad:
[HD2 General] Shawn_230:
It will happen if you change the default keyboard from HTC's own.

I use SIPChange to set Swype to default which works in making it default, but it causes interferences with the XT9.
[HD2 General] Jack E:
Any way to fix the gray bar in the music tab?
[HD2 General] les_paulde:
alarm works fine here, did you activate all the days on which it should ring? So far this rom seems really fast, i'm lovin it!
[HD2 General] Archer:
Not getting any grey bar here. Where abouts is it on the music tab? Can you do a screenshot?
[HD2 General] Jack E:
Try changing the volume.
[HD2 General] bronx:
no it doesn't work properly. as usual - everything set up as it should be, reminder sound first, proper alarm after, two rings then silence... :mad:
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
Same here, the alarm is a joke :mad:
[HD2 General] paulking:
mines working fine...
[HD2 General] Archer:
Lol - can't take screenshots with the volume overlay in them. Not with BsB or MyMobiler. How strange!

Anyway, it looks normal to me. I get a semi-transparent dark box with a white speaker and a green volume indicator. I take it yours looks different?
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
Does your alarm ring more than 2 times?
[HD2 General] Jack E:
I reflashed and the volume controll is back to normal, very strange seeing as a hard reset didn't fix it.
[HD2 General] Archer:
That's a bit worrying. So you can get different results from flashing the same ROM twice???
[HD2 General] Jack E:
Never had that before, it could be to do with what i have installed so i am looking into that. looks like someone else had the problem too because i found this in another thread
[HD2 General] Jack E:
I have found the cause, I beleive that the volume icon fix for the % battery icon (in this ROM it makes the volume icon disappear) makes it happen :(
[HD2 General] Archer:
Now I see it, I remember seeing that before. I've not had it myself, but do remember it being talked about. That makes me feel better anyway, knowing that it was something you installed AFTER flashing! phew
[HD2 General] sparks2005:
Hi, Updated the rom but the phone wont go through the setup process, any idea's?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Worked fine for me (and I guess all the others on here that did it).

Try a hard reset and if that doesn't work, flash it again!

Good luck :)
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
Many here has updated to the new ROM now, anyone having sms stuck in the outbox?? Or is it fixed? :eek:
[HD2 General] sparks2005:
wierd, when i ture the phone off it starts the set up but then the phone shuts down. going to flash it again now.
[HD2 General] sparks2005:
still no set up wizard after flash!

WWE 166.405.2 (UK apparently)

[HD2 General] jimsteach:
does anyone else have the problem of it selecting a the previous text when writing a reply? not a major issue but f*** me when will they get the sms part right?
[HD2 General] sparks2005:
Tried the sea rom and still the same, set up process only comes up when i turn the phone off. Help any one!
[HD2 General] jimblobb:
This update is all kinds of screwed for me.

Firstly, the setup app doesn't load until i shutdown the phone and immediately disappeared.

Secondly, Microsoft My Phone refuses to Login and Marketplace constantly reports errors. Opera fails to load pages regularly as well

Finally, and obviously related to point 2, the wireless has trouble connecting and is very slow indeed.

I was running 1.66 on a UK T-Mobile handset. Had to go back to the 1.48 ROM.
[HD2 General] insaned:
I'm still with the test version that was online in the afternoon, sent 80+ messages and seems fine so far. Also the lag problem is not perfect, but we can assume it's fixed because it loads up quick, altought you get you cursor OUT of the texbox while it loads. however if you continue typing when you click it again, the text is there.
[HD2 General] MasterTP:
Go into the commanager and disable/enable the cellular radio. The Wizard will then pop-up.
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
why not try the UK rom.. WWE 166.405.2 works great for me..
[HD2 General] lythe123:
Still sticks for me. They actually show as sent, not as stuck in my outbox. I would love for this to be fixed. Yes I flashed the ASN version for my phone in the US.

I went in today to AT&T for a new SIM card in the hopes that would fix it. It didn't.

I wonder if i can return the phone to HTC.
[HD2 General] CyberClaw:
If they are not on the outbox, then what happens? Doesn't the person receive the sms? Try sending yourself one sms as a test. Maybe it's a carrier problem in your case...
[HD2 General] harry_dinh:
Can someone provide a mirror of rapidshare or hotfile of the newest WWE Official ROM.... thank in advance !!
[HD2 General] lythe123:
Thats how i test. I send them to myself. I dont get them nor do i receive them from others.

Curious, does the Arabic ROM have the CoPilot trial installed?

I really liked not having it, the SEA ROM has a massive amount of free memory.

Hi all,

One quick question, do you need to take sim and memory card out or leave them in when you flash rom to new one?
[HD2 General] mooooooa:
World Wide English (WWE) 1.66.405.2 - Direct Link 1 2 3

From the ROM section..
[HD2 General] CyberClaw:
Always take the SD card off before flashing. Tests show the phone works faster that way for some reason, even with the SD card reinserted.
[HD2 General] valleyman83:
Just a small question. Is the LED notification for new emails now working in 1.66? I've seen no messages about it working or still non-working.
[HD2 General] mooooooa:
I'll test that now :) brb
[HD2 General] UncleBeer:
I'm curious about the new mail LED too. If it's not working, the newest version of PhoneAlarm fixes it. :)
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
I enabled the settings options for led notification in the registry before I could tried.. but when I wanted to set them it was already set to flash 5minutes.. so maybe..
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
oh please stop the myths..
[HD2 General] mooooooa:
The LED notification for email DOES NOT work... I've tried reg edit, and bsb tweaks and so on.. But it doesn't work!!
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
I have few questions about new ROM:

Does this new version of ROM have included some Voice-Dialing software?

Does it have a newer version of BlueTooth software? Could anyone make screenshot of BlueTooth software about screen so we could find out if it has a newer software or BT stack driver?

Thank you very much
[HD2 General] valleyman83:
That's a pity! Anyhow, thanks for testing.
[HD2 General] sparks2005:
Thanks :) Done the job
[HD2 General] novalistic:
Q1: NO.

Q2: Bluetooth Version: 2.1/2.1+EDR
[HD2 General] TomH01:
It's now available on the U.K site!
[HD2 General] PJTOUCHHD:
Yesssssss! Looks like 1.66 ROM is now available for UK on the HTC site.
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
Thanks for answers. Could you please write exact version numbers of BlueTooth software in this ROM build?

For example on 1.48 I have now:

Bluetooth for Windows Mobile

Version 1.9.3 Build 500

HCI Version: 4.168

LMP Version: 4.16919 (15)

It can be found in classic settings > Bluetooth > first tab > About.

Thanks
[HD2 General] CyberClaw:
Don't do it then. I've seen chefs posting about that issue in this forums, and themselves not knowing why that is the case, but noticing it is. That's why the instructions for flashing many customs ROMs refer that you should remove the SD card. But what do they know, right?

Although Guy that cooks ROMs > Bub named Bel Z in my book.

I'll try to find the posts about that subject.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I just sent myself a text message, turned the phone into standby, and the led started flashing a few seconds later, when it arrived.

Another case of "working for some but not others". Weird.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's exactly the same mate.
[HD2 General] Marv-in:
It's a pity. Thanks for info.
[HD2 General] twisted-pixel:
yes, for text message....but not for email!!!!
[HD2 General] Archer:
ah - okay. I'll try that too then.

Edit:

Nope - don't work.
[HD2 General] CyberClaw:
I couldn't find the post, I don't really care. It's your phone. Here is one tuturial that refers removing the SD Card before flashing (although they don't mention the reason):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=609477&highlight=flashing+rom+remove+sd+card

Like I said someone tested it, and the results spoke for themselves, although even the ROM cooker didn't know why.

Takes 30 secs to remove your SD card. Doesn't bother me. I'm not going to test it myself, but I'll remove the SD card every time I flash.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I remember that thread, and I know what you're talking about, but they found that the phone only worked faster until you put the SD card back in.

It's also a myth that you need to hard reset after flashing. (I know I'll get slated for that comment!)
[HD2 General] unque1:

Hi how can i download this from the htc site if i have a Vodaphone stock rom and seriel number
[HD2 General] novalistic:
All the Same !!!
[HD2 General] CyberClaw:
Thanks for correcting me without recurring to just calling me myth-maker and going on your way ;)

I didn't follow the thread till it's end I guess :)
