Predictive text display problem in XT9 mode with new ROM 2.53

Hi

Question for anyone running the new 2.53 ROM recently made available by. HTC

Just upgraded to the new 2.53 ROM and with the XT9 function that I use for predictive text using just the phone pad keyboard (which I prefer over the QWERTY keyboard on the small Diamond 2), now as I type letters, what is displayed on the screen is the actual first letter of each key I press, while potential word matches are shown in highlight boxes. Previously what was displayed in the message screen was the actual predicted word as you typed letters and if it wasn't the word I wanted I could then look at the other options - now, I have to select an option for every word I type.

So with the option for word completion turned on in XT9 mode and using the phone pad keyboard which I always prefer to use, if I type the letters to spell 'car', what is displayed are 'aap' and I then need to select 'car' from displayed matches - damn annoying! Anyone else with this problem or is it a new 'feature'??? Or am I just imaging things and this has always been the case and just seems a little different on the new ROM - going crazy!

Only issue may be that I needed to download the ROM from Asia as that is where my phone was purchased to get my serial number recognised so now in the text input settings is an option to use PinYin as the input method (which I have to select) and use the English version on the keyboard so wondering if this is something to do with it?

Thanks for any help you can give

Yep, highly annoying! Is quite easy to fix though

Fire up a registry editor, navigate to HKLM / Software / Tegic / eT9 and change "ExactInListMode" to 0

Then soft reset.

Also notice you cannot save your added words between resets.. :(

Official ROM update

I would like to update my diamond2 to the last ROM.

The problem is that if I go to http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=912&news_id=596 and put my SN I get Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.

If I go to http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=915 it's working, I just downloaded _HTC Touch Diamond2_RUU_Topaz_S2_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.53.707.4_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship.exe

Is it safe to install this ROM? Will it be in english?

PS. I bought the phone from a guy (used, not new) and I don't know from where it was bought.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
If you put your SN into the asian website and it came up with a ROM it should work, but I don't know for sure.

WWE means worldwide English, so it is an English language ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grahamkdt:
Yes!

Yes, you can install it and yes, it will be in English (WWE = World Wide English) If the site let you download it using your serial number, then it's good to go without any tweaking (ie. HardSPL, etc) ;)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Great, thanks for the advice Craig, though going to the reg key you specified doesn't list this option? Only contents of hklm \ software \ Tegic \ eT9 are

(Default) String (value not set)

IsSupportMSSIPContact DWord 1

One other thing I've noted with text input with this new ROM, is if I just use the 'ABC" option (whatever you call that) where you press a key the number of times corresponding to what letter you want when using phone keypad for text entry, if I choose caps, then it only stays that way for the first press and then defaults to lower case for subsequent presses (no matter how fast I press the key) which is damn annoying as only way around it is need to activate caps locks just to get a capital letter. Anyone else come across this bug as well?

Cheers

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Okay, now it's getting crazy as if I want to add an apostrophe to a word i.e. "it's" once I hit the apostrophe, the next key press removes the text before the apostrophe no matter what text mode I'm in!!! Anyone know if I replace the text input module with a pure English one as think it is something to do with the Asian origin of the ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiglay:
Its odd that you don't get all the options, there are 6 to 10 of them! Maybe you're not using EZInput! (HTC Touch Input)

The punctuation issue sounds like the very common HTC Messaging Lag issue where punctuation / words / spaces seems to get very mixed up! there is no known fix if it is..

You mention using the Asia ROM, but using it in English. If you're wanting the WWE ROM, I suspect that you could HSPL your device and install the proper WWE ROM if you wish. Head over to the ROM section for more details.

My opinion

So, I guess no one wants to answer your question.

I'll tell you my opinion about TD2. First of all it's better looking than TD1, it has more RAM so it's a little bit faster, battery life also improved. Display is bigger and better looking. The last official ROM released with sense 2.5 is somehow faster and more responsive than sense 2.1 so I would recommend it.

But if you are looking to buy yourself a new phone, why don't you take a look at Nexus One?:D

Good luck in making your choice!:p
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpe0426:

Yea... I might end up buying both the TD2 and HD2, if I get good bargains, and later selling one of them. Perhaps I have to buy the Desire next month also :/ ...

Problem with new 2.53 update

Hello all,

I flashed the new official rom and miss the Programs icon in "today" bottom bar.

I have installed "TD2 Tools 3", and going to "TouchFlo" settings, I realize that into "Manila Settings" section.. it shows that "Enable Programs Tab" is not marked and is greyed.. and can not be selected.

Also tried "Advanced Configuration Tool", going to menu section and "TouchFlo 3D"...got an error "An error ocurred while loading TouchFlo 3D configuration"..if just press "ok" and ignore it.. screen shows all TouchFlo 3D tabs ..here the option for "Programs" tab is available and can me marked.. but after doing that and make a softreset..TouchFlo is the same and miss that option...

Any help to have it back is welcomed !!

The program tab has been replaced by the shortcuts on the home tab. I know it is in TD2 Tools but I think that was for Manila 2.1.

There are some tweaks around to additional shortcuts. Search for "Max Manila" and "Cookies Home"

HTC RUU 2.53 ROM Upgrade

Hi All,

I have an eastern-europe handset currently running official 6.5 with manilla 2.1. The handset was purchased from new as "sim free"/ unlocked to all networks.

I would like to install the new official rom, but there is no eastern-europe rom available.

I have downloaded the WWE version, but I have some questions (I do not want to mess up what i already have!).

Will this version (UK) install on my handset? - does the software do a serial number check?

Will it still be "sim free"/unlocked? - if not can it be unlocked?

Will this invalidate my warranty?

If I have made a system backup using spb / sprite, will this get me back in the event of failure?

I am new to all of this (bet you couldn't guess). I have read much on thei forum and indeed used some of the tips and software, it is great that such a helpful comunity exists, unlike HTC support, who were unwilling or unable to answers these type of questions about "their" handsets and "their" software.

cheers
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iulian_2007:
great, thank you. everything went well with the upgrade.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sualc:
Hi,

if you were able to download the ROM upgrade from HTC site it means that a serial number check has been performed and your device is compatible (wow,already answered 2 questions :eek:). Anyway, it is possible to flash any OFFICIAL ROM, in any language, if you download it from other sources,i.e. from servers that have been put up by some xda members. Read the sticky threads to find them, I hope they are updated. The "sim free" condition of your phone won't change. Upgrading with an Official ROM will not invalidate warranty: years ago I sent for assistance an original belgian P3300 that had been changed to italian and didn't have any problem. About backup: the apps you mentioned are "a must have", be only aware the you cannot restore a backup on a different ROM from which it was created.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billkelly:
Thanks Sualc, I did not get the rom from the official site, serial failed, but got it instead from HTCpaedia link from another thread. I had read the other threads, but they did not cover my particular set of circumstances. In terms of apps and data, that can easily be put back, it was more about having a regression pathway should the upgrade not work. HTC support were not very forthcoimng, thats why you talk to people on these forums. I will probably be the cautious type, that will stick to the official roms rather than cooked during the warranty period. So just to be sure, an offical UK WWE rom will go on any official handset?

Im loving the actual ROM, as its a lot nicer than the previous ones, with good features, and newer software. BUT, it has started going very slow on me, mainly with texts (and bare in mind that I've only just got it back so there arent many texts on there). Its slow to type messages and laggy in general.

Is there anything i can do to cure this? I hear some people saying this rom is excellent, where it seems quite slow for me :(

There's some apps on the market that can makes phone CPU goes faster and push it to its limit, and mine is called overclock widget.

One quick question here, does this app shorten G1 CPUs life? will it harm the CPU in the long run? If so, how much the damage it could cause??

My G1 is a little bit lag, i consider to use this app, but if it shortens the CPU life, than it's not worth it and im okay with the lag. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehseano:
You can't OVERclock your G1. You can only clock it to its rated frequency. The processor is rated at 528Mhz, but when it's distributed, it's set to run between 245-384. So it's UNDERclocked when you buy it.

The process is made to run at 528Mhz, so you can safely do it. It will decrease your battery life, but won't hard your processor.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riki28:
lol then I feel dumb now that I used "overclock" word without knowing what it means. Haha

Thank's for the confirmation.

So even if I clock it to min = 528, max = 528, it will not harm the CPU at all?

Will it makes the CPU Hot for always clocking the rate to the max??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Yes, it will increase in temperature.

Typically, you don't want to run it at its maximum speed continually. Just for short bursts as needed. That's what automatic clock scaling is for.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riki28:
I see, Okaay, I will use it when I need it then, if 128-384 mb is the default rate by HTC, then I think it's the best freq rate for the phone...

Thanks for the info guys =)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSamurai:
For the record, you are "overclocking" it. It's clocked at a specific speed in stock format and you're OC'ing it from that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Wrong...

As quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overclock - "Overclocking is the process of running a computer component at a higher clock rate (more clock cycles per second) than it was designed for or was specified by the manufacturer." Maybe as specified by HTC, but on actual terms, no, it's not overclocked.

I preordered my G1 and rooted it as soon as possible, fully charge it atleast once a day and keep my overclock widget set to 528 min - 528 max.. My phone holds good charge and works fine more than a year later
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aznneedlovetoo:
Quite a FAIL :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mejorguille:
HTC made the phone, but not all of the components. Qualcomm made the MSM7200A processor, and they set the recomended frequency at 528 Mhz. Anything lower then 528 should therefore be considered an underclock, and anyhting over should be considered an overclock.

OT, overclock is completely safe until a point. A company will test its products way harder then what consumer use for it would be. For example, if you were building a house in which the roof weighted a ton, you would use wooden walls that was designed for a ton. But, say that the roof is a little more then a ton, 1.001 tons, would the walls break? No, they would not. Qualcomm probably tested the processor much higher then the recomended values and set the maximum low enough so that they would not have issues about consumers with bricked hardware. My phone runs perfectly stable at 652 Mhz, but I cannot comment on battery life as my phone has always sucked way too much more then normal, even when I was still on stock. Setting it to say 160000 max and 528 min would be perfect for your phone without any risks.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
For the most part, unless you are planning on using your phone for a decade or so, you should not worry too much about the effects of increasing your processor clock speed.

You will notice an increase in temperature, in fact it is actually quite significant and a bit scary. If I recall though, seeing performance charts, increasing the clock speed on the Qualcomm processor does increase performance, but really not by a significant or (correct me if I am wrong) discernible amount.

I know this contradicts a bit with what I said earlier, but its more of just my own theory and that is I believe the heat from the processor probably would be fine for the processor itself, but I don't know about the other components. The temperature actually does get so hot to the point where it would be uncomfortable to have the phone on your lap. I have a hybrid silicone/plastic case on my phone and it expands by ALOT when the processor is clocked to 528Mhz from the heat.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onecallednick:
So what's the best solution?

I just bought an HTC Dream on Ebay. As soon as I get it I plan to unlock and flash CM6. Will it come with overclocking software? If so, what's the best way to get the performance when it's needed and otherwise let it underclock?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkwa:
you best bet is to use setcpu 2.0.2 and it wont come with it
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
I would just like to put a little clarification note in here about the definition of overclocking....

Fact is that the rated maximum clock speed is/may_be based on certain IDEAL conditions and that a particular APPLICATION of that component may have a lower rating as a result of its characteristics. Specifically, knowing that speed makes HEAT, one could rate a CPU at LOWER than its manufacturer's spec in order to keep it within the heat envelope.

I am not saying that that is what is happening in this case, but it could, along with battery life, be part of the equation that led to them setting the clock below the chip's maximum rated speed.

So from this perspective, bringing the clocks up to 528 COULD IN FACT be considered OVERCLOCKING.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zenity:
Further perspective, the processor if considered as a stand alone device is rated at 528MHz, so those terms the processor is underclocked when running at a lower frequency

However if you look at the processor as a component part of a larger assembly, then the manufacturers defined speed is set by other concerns than merely that of the processor's designed rating, and in this context running it at higher speeds than the device's rated speeds would be considered overclocking.

It all depends on perspective, from Qualcomm's perspective, HTC underclock the processor, from HTC's perspective, we overclock if we raise the clock frequency above that which they rate the assembly at.

And as we are talking of a multilayer PCB with components on both sides, what is the heat rating of the components on the opposite side of the PCB to the processor? I don't know, but I bet HTC does, and that may be a factor to consider, the processor may not fail, but what of the surrounding components?

And for the record, I use setcpu, and have it scaled for 160-528, it does heat up under heavy use, but not so much that I worry unduly, as has been said, HTC probably do take the heat envelope into account, as most manufacturers do, and most take the safe approach, and prefer to stay away from the edges of the envelope.

So unless you plan to peg your cpu clock at 528 or nothing, it should be safe enough, and will not reduce the life of the device significantly.
