it's logical and makes sense but not when you are already typing is it?

now you can start typing while the thread is loading and when it's done loading it jumps to the message and scrolls away your typing area.. very annoiing..

should be an easy fix. when it's done loading it should check if there are characters in the typing area and if there are, skip the highlight action.

Also really great htc, that the german site says it's for 166 but the english site says it's for lower version only..
[HD2 General] mightymn:
text size in traditional mode is again toooo small :(
[HD2 General] thegios:
it's there: when readind the message on sense page click on menu>reply
[HD2 General] kaospiloten:
I did not know that, nice :)
[HD2 General] donSjon:
The Dutch, german, italian, french, spanish, portugees and swedish sites states: for 1.66 OR lower

English (uk), and europe site state only IF the rom is lower...

strange!
[HD2 General] thegios:
am lost... in any case here's what ppl get when installing this on a 166 rom

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=5488168&postcount=582
[HD2 General] donSjon:
no, it's a different one.

this one is called: _HTC HD2_LEO08007-07

and is 7.57 MB

the other one (15/01) was called: _HTC HD2_LEO08007

and was 6.82 MB
[HD2 General] Archer:
So it basically is the old one, but allegedly fixed! Fingers crossed for all that need it.
[HD2 General] donSjon:
then it must be a translation error of HTC...

as I'm still waiting for 1.66 to come out in dutch I cannot test this :-(

but at least I can already install this hotfix on my old ROM :-)
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
then basicly I think you'll be ahead of 166 as I still believe 166 is just the 08007 and previous hotfixes and the taskmanager has moved to the start menu. nothing more..

I think they released the patch again for network locked devices who don't get a new ROM anytime soon..

the only advantage of 166 is that you won't have to install all the hotfixes after a hard reset..
[HD2 General] Bence:
And what's new in the hotfix?

I am reading comments here...but...what is officially new?
[HD2 General] thegios:
that I just got a long sms stuck in the outbox after installing it and had to turn phone off/on and send an sms to myself

unless u confirm it takes 5 minutes to send 6 concatenated SMSs...

EDIT: I tried sending again 6 concatenated SMSs and it took almost 2 minutes... am not sure if on 1st attempt I turned off the phone earlier... could some1 try sending such a long sms and let me know how long it takes?
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
Installed fine on the miri 2.4 rom (based on 2.02 rom) btw in case ppl are interested, no idea if things have improved since it was fine already but still...
[HD2 General] Athar Mansoor:
Hmm.. seems fine.. and plus it doesn't do the "-GSM" on the old text messages. as the previous one did..
[HD2 General] Bence:
If there any difference if I install it over previous hotfix or if I delete the old one first?

Do I get some extra free storage space on device with deleting the old or the new one just overwrites it?

Do I keep all functions with deleting the old and installing new?
[HD2 General] thegios:
u ncannot anyway delete the old second hotfix (but u can delete the old first one)
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
On the Dutch HTC support site it also says it's also for the 1.66 ROM. NOT ONLY BELOW 1.66.

So I just installed it on my Miri 2.4 OEM 2.02 and 1.66-based rom which indeed had a lower build version than this one. :)

Please do note that some countries' official ROM releases have a higher build number than others. It could be that the original UK ROM that has been released on 25 Jan indeed has this 'new' patch already inside it. But then IT HAS NOT been included in our 'custom cooked' roms, because then we are some build versions down (before the release of the initial 1.66 ROM).

So, that UK advice of only having to install this patch released on 24/01 only goes for the ORIGINAL ROM that is also downloadable on their site, not for the other countries.

Just install it if your HTC Messaging Client version is lower than the one provided by this patch.
[HD2 General] Lex85:
Where did you get this link from? The SMS Update is not on the german support start page...see image attached!

The date of the german update is 24.01...the one on the european site is 29.01...strange!
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
great! thanks! I solved it before by tappin "all messages" and then select the thread needed.. basicly also two taps.. :) but this is better..! Guess the way it used to work before the patch spoiled me not to have to use the menu..

still I think they should program in the check.. it's two lines probably.. just check if there are characters in the text area or if the text area is focussed and then decide to highlight the message or not after loading..

If I had a phone company I'd make a contract for my programmers that they'd have to use the device that they work on theirselves in normal live.. I'll bet everything would work perfectly..
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
So I just installed it and I did notice it does load quite fast now..

It's also a bit more responsive.

Reading through an conversation with over 500 SMS in it loads perfectly fine and I can type an reply instantly. Scrolling also goes reasonably smooth. :D
[HD2 General] fray_bentos:
does this fix the jumping cursor?

Could someone who has installed this please try the below and report what happens. With XT9 on, reply to a text message.

Type (without quotes): “this is a text message“ while the predictive word selection row is onscreen offering words other than ‘message’ - press the ‘12#’. When the ‘12#’ key is pressed the cursor will jump to the start of the text box. The word selection row must be no-screen and message is being replied to, not newly created.

I have searched and seen others have had this problem but does this hotfix fix it?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
This is still present in the newer client version. But personally I don't feel this is a big problem seen I never use XT9.
[HD2 General] bdb25:
I know this isn't a big deal but its driving me mad!

I've got my HD2 set to UK date and time format, i.e. DD/MM/YYYY

However when looking at messages in a thread they always display MM/DD/YYYY

Anyone know if its possible to change this or its just lazy coding by HTC?
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Probably lazy coding. Mine displays exactly the same with regional settings set to NL.
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
on my phone i dont have an 'about' option to see the build, anyone else have this problem??

edit: i'm on the new 1.66.XXX.X. ROM
[HD2 General] Archer:
You don't have "All Messages, Menu, About"???
[HD2 General] valleyman83:
The sms-hotfix that was pulled back last time was build 2011.2130. (I'm still using that one, because it cannot be deleted) So it's not the same as today.
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Are you sure you are looking at the window you get once you tap 'All Messages' and then on the lower left 'Menu' -> 'About'?
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
nope, i have all messages>menu...and the i have new, del. msg, sort by and settings.
[HD2 General] mightymn:
The "About" menu only appears if you're in conversation mode
[HD2 General] Bence:
Thanks for answer

Well, if I delete the first fix, then I get more free space, without loosing any sms functions which were updated in that fix? I am guessing new fix contains everything from previous fixes?
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
and yes it does :)...cheers mate, ur the man!!! :D
[HD2 General] surfen281:
german sms-fix and rom-update..????

Is this question already answered?

Please let me know... :)
[HD2 General] SreePillai:
the UK version has a release date of 24/01, thats a day before the release date of the new rom...so why wouldn't they just incorporate this fix in the new ROM??
[HD2 General] Killmaster09:
I'm looking at the swedish site right now, and we don't have a new version for dl. And the old one is deleted...
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
Well, the file names aren't language-specific. With that, my WWE ROM in English still has the English Messaging Client once it's downloaded from the NL support site.

So I guess it's a world wide patch.
[HD2 General] neigo:
yope, it's german =)
[HD2 General] thegios:
confirmed also on italian rom 148 with this new fix installed... dumb programmers...

[HD2 General] shthpnz:
And I am looking at the Dutch HTC support site and don't see the download either! The latest one is from january 7th.
[HD2 General] ZekeWolf:
Is it possible to make a cab out of it, for ppl who cannot install it. My sms version is 2130, and the patch will not install.
[HD2 General] amf123:
I'm all for companies such as HTC providing us with regular updates to our devices but with all these various SMS hotfixes they really are making themselves look very stupid. How many attempts and fixes do they need to release before people lose all faith in the company. I know mine is gone. If it was some complex issue it would be easier to understand but not sending text messages? If it wasn't so annoying it would be laughable. As I imagine folks without HD2's are doing.
[HD2 General] tpas:
It is there, just click on showing only updates:

http://www.htc.com/nl/SupportDownloadList.aspx?p_id=297&act=sd&cat=0
[HD2 General] BLAST3RR:
It was definitely there earlier today.. :confused::confused:

Another recall? Wtf?
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
I agree.. this is my first HTC device and I never had so many flaws, errors and bugs, nor have a seen a company making such a mess of their updates.

I don't think I will buy another HTC again..
[HD2 General] str0g:
This patch have same error at its previous version:

on sms randomly vibrate till device restart/battery dry out.

If someone know how to purge this crappy update please share knowledge with me.
[HD2 General] donSjon:
They haven't put it in the list yet,

this is the direct link.

I downloaded it and tried it, it the latest version.

the same comment for some other countries.
[HD2 General] eriche:
Damn Bugs

I am on ROM version 1.48 and the SMS Hotfix didn`t fix the problem.

From the beginning till now I never could send only 1 SMS,...

Receiving is no problem,...

So whats the fix for?

Does it matter I have a German ROM:confused:

Or does it matter I installed the preveous SMS fix which didn`t work at all :eek:

GreeT`s
[HD2 General] Jawb:
I have the 1.66 Danish ROM and just tried to install the hotfix. It says that it is not compatible with my device, even though the support site says it is for versions equal to 1.66 or less. Wonder why?!?!
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
running 1.66 WWE, just sent 2 SMS, both went same time...and this is without the hotfix as it's for lower than 1.66.xxx.x
[HD2 General] morpheus1982:
1.66 is more than just a compilation of hotfixes. The phone runs faster, Sense is smooth, and I have found that a standardised use of PC style Manilla popup menus have been adopted by a number of installation applications.

I installed 1.66 despite originally having the 1.43 O2 rom, and have no regrets and the even though I had no issues with my phone, it now feels more stable.
[HD2 General] Bimme:
it is a complex issue, cause its not related to the messaging app !

the sms stuck issue is a consequence of a service which crash after a while. i still dont know which service it is, and what is causing the crash and htc seems to not know too.

give it a try guys. always try the following before writing sms:

open fileexplorer and try if pinch2zoom work.

if it works, u are able to send sms.

if it doesnt work, try enabling bluetooth, try to bring up the volume overlay in music tab. none of this is working anymore, and this is the problem. now ur sms will stuck in outbox.

give it a try guys...
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Now the new message counter won't go away!!

Well i've installed this 'fix' and now when i get a message the tab icon still has the '1' by it even after i've read and deleted it. Nice one HTC, what was your decision? Oh the SMS system is buggy, why don't we break it some more!!!?
[HD2 General] TML1504:
seems true for me! thx for the hint!
[HD2 General] mightymn:
Since you haven't been able to send even 1 sms, I say your SIM card is problematic
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
Well i just rebooted and my next text didn't leave the '1' on there. Will keep monitoring. Nice to see there's no 'GSM' after a text now, as i've got my SE watch connected to it and it was annoying seeing it hooked on the end of every msg!
[HD2 General] chirkinordek:
hi everyone..

i have installed this fix file on my phone. but i have a problem..

when i received a message, i tap it and write reply message. but text box's font is very very very small. i cant see what i write.. Pls help me to fix this problem..

when i want to write new text message, fonts are very normal. but reply, too small.. :S

thanks..
[HD2 General] uccoffee:
Does this new fix 's got the problem of it jumps to the selected message after it has loaded the list and scrolls away your typing area???

I have already got 1.66 and want someone to confirm it please.

Can EVERYONE with 1.66 ROM complain to HTC about the SMS jump when typing problem please? 1.66 is so far so good other some freeze once a while and SMS jump.
[HD2 General] ZekeWolf:
Is a cab available anywhere?
[HD2 General] johnk1973:
I've been trying to keep up on this subject but there doesn't seem to be the same 'this update is crap, and 'still stuck in outbox' so does this actually work? Any one with the problem of stuck sms's and installed this hotfix found it has worked, or not?
[HD2 General] Bence:
What's wrong with .exe?
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
@ZekeWolf - It's a WM .exe file.
[HD2 General] ZekeWolf:
I know - and my system does not allow it to be installed. That´s why I need a cab. This can happen when you are on a ROM the exe do not like.

Someone prepared a cab for the last sms update, so I hoped that someone will fix one for this update.
[HD2 General] RiCu:
Hi, can someone who has installed this update answer the question above? I have the mid-january fix installed, and everything is working ok other than the incredibly annoying jump from the text input box once a conversation has loaded!

thanks.
[HD2 General] Archer:
If you cannot install it then you do not need it. What ROM version do you have?
[HD2 General] ZekeWolf:
My sms version is 2130, which is an earlier version. My ROM is based on 1.48.

However, I think I will simply skip this sms update, since it does not solve the "stuck in outbox" problem.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've heard nothing but good reports about it. Where have you seen people saying it's not fixed it? I must have missed that!
[HD2 General] spark001uk:
What i want them to fix is the fact you can't omit SIM contacts from the list when selecting a recipient in an SMS. Damn annoying.
[HD2 General] rayho:
You have to keep to read SMS for 3 seconds!

As I knew, this is same design since Diamond...

You have to keep and stay in SMS page for 3 seconds then the numberic of green ball will decrease!~ Try it~ At least mine works~!
[HD2 General] waxfresh:
Hmm.. my sms problem is gone! Before, like 6 out of 10 msgs were stuck! Now it works like it should!
[HD2 General] onesolo:
x2!!! I not even have an HD2 but I was hoping that someone could make a cab that could be installed in every Leo Sense 2.5 based roms... anyone??
[HD2 General] oneill5000:
Hello,

I want to install the SMS Hotfix (Release Date 2010-01-24), but my device show me the message "THis hotfix is not compatible with your device".

What is the reason for this? Nobody has this message too?

Thanks
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Updated with kallt_kaffe's full update! (btips/bluetooth still disabled)

Okay here's an androidinstall.tar and androidupdate.tar for nand and also works for non-nand

androidinstall.tar uses advanced launcher and doesn't have rosie or any of that.

if you use the update option in the menus with androidupdate.tar, it'll install rosie and all the widgets etc.

instructions:

use the 240x320 nbh file from martin's site

add the included androidinstall.tar and optionally androidupdate.tar to your /sdcard/andboot folder

boot up holding down the dpad center (or press and hold the middle of the touchscreen) to get the menu

pick where you want stuff

install

(optionally)update to install the sense widgets from androidupdate.tar

if you use the update option, please use fix permissions.

the zip file is here

And if you feel so inclined... beer donations will still be accepted, though not encouraged.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] sshark:
This system is quite awesome, definitely looking forward to get this!

Do you press volume up or volume down to boot menu?

EDIT: I think I am doing something wrong, I am getting same error that I got with Eclair build.

init: unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bri3d:
Hold volume up.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
me too... :confused:

Edit: well, i got craig's build going, so I'll start there. :)

Edit 2: vilord, looks like maybe the androidinstall.tar is corrupt? I've downloaded twice and I'm getting an unexpected EOF error while extracting.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
gah, we're just having endless fun with bad uploads... I'll try again

EDIT:

Yup, it was a bad upload, the new one is quite a bit bigger :)

I got this build installed to the SD Ext2 partitions (I'm using Haret), but it won't go past the calibrate screen (completely unresponsive). Anyone know a way around this?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Barogi44:
Its not unresponsive. this always happens with tattoo builds just tap the center of the screen several times until you get past it.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] blckzr2:
got this build working from nand and i love it. fast and responsive only problem im having is market wont work i keep getting unsuccessful download no matter what i try to download. any suggestions
[Touch CDMA Android Development] celticchrys:
update?

I am also unable to get past the calibrate screen. I've tried holding and tapping the middle over and over, and it just stops there. like, 20 times, and it never progresses. I think that screen is frozen.

I'm booting with haret.

Also, forgive the ignorance, but what is included in the update file? Is it system updates, or just eye candy/widgets?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
tap and hold for one second in the center of the screen 6 times or more
[Touch CDMA Android Development] krwilson:
What is the process to get the menu??? I am running WM 6.1, I go to File Explorer to start Haret.exe in the ANDBOOT folder with all the basefiles, etc. from this thread using DEFAULT.txt and hold down the volume switch right after I start the text but I get no menu??? I must be doing something wrong if others are having success, any ideas??? Thanks.

Note: stupid me figured it out..............doh!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] celticchrys:
video of being stuck at calibration

I phrased my previous post poorly. I meant that I tapped and held many times and it never progressed. Here's a video clip of me trying again.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] gssweat:
dude you have to hit the next target.... if you look in your video... the target is in the top left now... tap it.. it will move to all 4 corners!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jamezelle:
yea dude your screen is froze, never had that happen:eek:

it doesnt even calibrate our screen its meant for the tattoo, you can hit anywhere you want to:)

I'm booting from Haret, and mine is freezing at calibration as well.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Prowess:
Market Issue

I've previous loaded Jamezelle's and now loving your version!

I can't seem to download any applications via Market. Keeps on trying to download but instantly ends up with 'Download Unsuccessful'.

Is this build conflicting with my other build (Jamezell's), thinking that I downloaded it already and can't 'twice'?

Do I need to reset?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Nick N:
Same here. :-(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mfpreach:
Same here, market doesn't download.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vilord:
Apply the androidupdate.tar that is attached to the OP as "tattoofix.zip" (extract it and push the androidupdate.tar to your /sdcard/andboot folder) and you should be good to go.

You need the SPL in my sig (1.33.2005), not hardSPL. Most of the roms make mention of this in the first post.
[HD2 General] net_ified:
i have been planning to buy a hd2, but feel let down by the launch of t-mobile version which has 576 MB ram and 1 GB rom.

all these forums are crowded with possible tweaks for getting 576MB ram.

but i wonder why isnt 1GB rom making the news? its double of what HTC offers to us.

isnt 1GB rom imporant than say 576 MB ram.

sorrry if my question sounds silly, but would be glad if someone points to me the significance of how 128 MB addiional RAM outweighs the 512 MB additional ROM.
[HD2 General] Bimme:
no problem...

U can install additional programs to ROM, but u can also install them to StorageCard. As long as the sizes of the new ROMs coming will not grow up, u will always have enough storage on Rom left to install some little apps and hotfixes that needs to be installed to rom.

But more RAM means u can left more things in memory to get quicker access to them and a more responsive (faster) device...(better multitasking) for example.

Compare a Windows XP PC running with 512MB of RAM to another one running 1GB...u will feel a huge difference.

Now compare the 2 machines both with 1GB of RAM but one running a 20GB HDD and the other one a 40GB HDD, and will not feel any difference. But, if u like, u can add another HDD to the machine with only 20GB HDD (same here like Storagecard for HD2)....
[HD2 General] Inuit:
Hi Bimme,

thank you for your simple explanation.

Now i also understood what it´s all about RAM and ROM.

That was very usefull.

Greetings

Inuit
[HD2 General] net_ified:
ya..thanks for the reply. my doubts cleared. but then this makes me ask one more question, why is it that 512 MB rom a limiting factor for win mob 7 as speculated. i mean i can get a decent capacity storage card.

i m really grateful 2 u for answeing my question, i think i will stick to and buy an hd2 this feb. but its jes these small small things that make me reconsider my option.
[HD2 General] djurkash:
Or, to make it simpler, I know android can be installed to MicroSD, as a second OS. Does this mean that if our HD2 remains on 512MB ROM, and Win7 requires more, we can install it on MicroSD?

I suppose yes, but we would get in some term slower performances, on the boot, as well as starting applications, but in terms of running apps, it should stay as fast...

Correct me if I am wrong...
[HD2 General] dagrim1:
Another thing is that it was discovered by accident that the extra ram seems to be available on the euro devices. That caused the hype around that subject, nothing has been discovered about extra rom but that would indeed be great as well...

But yeah, as mentioned. There already was enough ram in the device so the extra ram doesn't give an enormous boost but always nice to have some unexpected extra stuff :)
[General Accessories] jmadden93:
Hi all,

I need advice on how to boost my cell signal in at work (downtown Chicago with big buildings everywhere). I'm near a window but there isn't much of a signal. I hear there is an external antenna i can plug into the phone to let me surf the web & get text messages more easily. Anything you can suggest I try or even buy? I have a HTC hero.

Thanks!
