BA keypad sliding mechanism failure.. need to fix - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

I use a PVA III (or V1605 as others call it) - Vodapone's equivalent of XDA IIs. The keypad sliding mechanism seems is not working, as it doesn't click in at the end. Does anyone has opened/changed a BA case before or knows a link showing how to do it? Is it a easy fix or should I bring it to my local mobile phone repair shop?
Thanks a lot in advance. (sorry I am a newbie, so please keep the explanation in layman format, cheers.)

Sjeesh man, life is too short to be vague. :| What is it you wish to accomplish?
(Since you posted in 'Unlocking it', it may well be that you wish to use this phone on some other provider than the one that is providing you with the phone, and that you suspect that the phone has a SIMlock set....)

i've got an MDA Vario II and just updated it to the original WM6 ROM which was available from T-Mobile, but I am very disappointed - in some things:
- The Power Consumption has increased
- Some Programs are even not in this ROM like the "Notes" Application and the Calculator
- The Performance is not as good as under WM5
- The WMP cannot play MP4 Files
...There are some more issues but I don't want to list them all, because this is not my core question
What I want to know is if it is possible to install the O2 Rom or if you can recommend me another ROM, it is no problem if it is in english, it just should be having all the WM Standard Programs and it should have more performance.
Can I get the original HTC ROM somewhere ?

Keyboard Problem with WM 6.0

Hello.
I installed the official WM 6.0 ROM from Vodafone Germany. Since then my keyboard funktions not properly. The keys 'CAPS','W','S' and 'X' don't funktion.
The Backlight doesn't go as well..
What could i do, to fix this problem? Or may be my keyboard is defektiv?
Where can i buy a new one?
Thanks
You might want to try doing a clear storage and setting rom up again. If this doesnt work id try a different rom before looking at the hardware.
Hello.
I did reset and config. the device again...it didn' help me..

I don't mean to bring down your hopes but i believe you may be facing a hardware problem...
As you may know, the connection between the keyboard part and the screen part of your Hermes is made by a flat band which can be damaged by heavy use, such as opening and colosing your Hermes many times for a long time.
If I were you, I woulf flash an original ROM and I would send the device for repair.
My Hermes has a similar problem in some keys, such as «V», «A» and «Z» but with some pressure i get to make them work so I don't even bother to send it for repair.
Cheers.
I think it's a hardware problem, too.
That's why i asked, where could i get a new keyboar with a flat band.
The phone has no more Garantie...so repair isn't possible. I have opened it and it looks OK from inside...no black places or so.. it seems really that the keyboard ist defektiv.
Greetings

Well,
Even if the PDA as no further warranty you can allways send it for repair... In the worst case you will have to pay for it.
I really don't know where to find parts for your PDA so you can epair it yourself...
Anyway, if you consider doing so you may want to bare this in mind...
Possible defective parts:
- Keyboard membrane [Embedded on the PCBA of the Keboard]
[Thats a specific part you may eventually acquire individualy]
[Part Number: 51H00335-00M]
- Keyboard connection flat band [Keyboard FPC]
[Thats a specific part you may eventually acquire individualy]
[Part Number: 73H20045-09M]
- Keys physical contact node [Embedded on the key layer itself]
[Thats a specific part you may eventually acquire individualy]
[Part Number: 71H01361-00M]
If you plan to disassemble your Hermes I recommed you thoroughly read the Hermes Service Manual available throuh this link:
http://mikechannon.net/PDF Manuals/Hermes Service Manual _A03_[2].pdf
Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
Good luck on fulfilling your goal.
Cheers.
Check out mike channons guides, he has a guide to clean the contacts between the keyboard and keys. Might be that you need to do this as it may be slightly corroded in between the keys and the Metal contacts.

Hope this helps as its apain trying to find parts or a spare from somewhere...

That's one of the causes I pointed out and the link you provided is exactely the same i have provided...
Cheers.
So... i opened my Hermes, cleaned the contacts....the defektiv keys are still without fuktion. No change of the situation...still 4 defektiv keys...
so i guess the keyboard plate is really defektiv and must be replaced by a new one.
i will look in Ebay for a defektiv HTC Hermes, and try to take only the keyboard.
Thanks a lot everyone, who tried to help me.
Greetings.
Software Keyboard (seems fast)
Eventually the hardware keyboards have a weak point.
You might want to try this tool (there is a freeware version and a pro version):
www.fingertouchpro.com
I think the speed can be compared to using a hardware keyboard.

Hermes Keyboard Map

I flashed to the htc release wm 6.1 but accidentally did a foreign version. I flashed it again with the US release and it works fine except the symbols E, D, X, W, S, Z, Q, and A are not working correctly. They input a different symbol.
I went to do the keyboard fix...
"Goto the following registry entry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
The default value of English ROM is 20409, and Chinese ROM is 20404 (both are in hexadecimal)."
...and the value was already 132105 (20409 in decimal)
I went ahead and changed it to 132104 and then back to 132105 but it is still not working.
Is there such a program that would allow me to easily re-map the keyboard?
Any help is appreciated!
schaps advanced config 2
Thanks!
I ended up just finding this fix a little further down the page...
"Issue: When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)"
...it works, but now the keyboard will not light up.
Is this an unrelated problem?
How do I fix it?

No it doesn't fix the problem, any other place in the registry do you know....? Thank you!!
Apologies for jumping onto this thread, seems the best place really.
I've just bought a HTC Hermes, and it has WM 6.1 installed, using it on the Orange UK network.
My only problem is, when pressing ! I get @, and when pressing Y i get Z.
I've ensured all language and keyboard options are set to UK, however I just don't seem to be able to change the keyboard map to full UK, although physically the keyboard is correct, just not the SW side of things.
I was just wondering if someone could help me, if you let me know where I need to look, i'll be able to help you, just not used anything MS based for the past 4 years, so its a bit of a foreign object now.
Thank you,

Good job and thank you in finding this thread and not opening up a new one
Anyhow, have you tried the latest Advance Config Tool v3.3? Try that version and see if it fixes you issue.

Hi there,
I'm actually new to Smartphones, and the Tytn / Hermes was going cheaply online (ebay unfortunately), but the phone itself is excellent and is easy to use from back in my windows days.
Most is familiar, but seeing how far Windows can go before I want to switch to Linux.
Where would I get the ACT? Is it downloadable from here as a development tool, or is it online needing payments etc?
Thank you,
greee, u can get it at schaps website here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070&highlight=advanced
galaxys,
I've downloaded the ACT, along with a pocket msn, and neither will install.
Do i need to put them somewhere for it to install correctly? Just i'm only getting access to my memory card.
Thank you,

Both should install on main memory.
Are you getting an error when the don't install?
So far kareem, i'm getting an XML output for the ACT, and for Pocket MSN it reports:
Setup Is Not a valid Pocket PC application.
With the ACT, i've no option to install, although the setup file I have was meant to be a cab file.
Thank you,
Scratch all that, got both PocketMSN and ACT installed today! For some reason the keyboard was in German, so switched that back!
Thanks guys!

Japanese input T-mobile Dash possible?

I did some searching around regarding this but could not come up with any final conclusions regarding this issue. I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who has a Dash. I know it's possible to set up ppcs to have Japanese input (i've set up my tilt to do so) but can this be done on a smartphone?
If anyone has any feedback regarding this that would be a great help! Thanks!

Yup its posible I've done it before my dash.
with english and japanese/chinese characters it was a .cab file that I downloaded from some company I delet it the file some time ago because I have the new rom from kavana that has english/chinese so I din't think I would need it anymore. The only proble I had was that it took alot of memory from the phone.
Hahahahaha sorry I cant post it. you should look for it better if you can't find it I think I have the download link bookmark on my friends PC and see if I can share it....
If you could post that that would be great. I've searched for some time and have had no luck finding it. When you installed it were you still able to input with english characters as well? I'm not familiar with how smartphones work.
Anyone else know if this is possible?

!!! Rosetta Stone for Windows Mobile !!!

Hello everyone, I was wondering if it is possible to have “Rosetta Stone” the language learning software running on HTC Rhodium: Touch Pro2, Tilt 2. I am currently trying to learn Tagalog spoken in the Philippines. I would be very thankful if someone can help me out on this. I am never home since I am a part time student and working full time so this would help me out greatly. If someone can help me out I would be very thankful and as a promise I will buy you a drink
I have tried converting software to convert language files (but I don’t know where to ever start)
I have searched online but majority of the post were at least 2 year old and did not help at all.
I have Rosetta stone on my PC which downloaded form torrents and it is installed but I have to use Power ISO. To mount the language CD and then study.
Also I am a noob therefore detail guide would be greatly appreciated thank you very much.
Someone please help me out!!!!!!!!
Thank you everyone in advance!!!!!!!!!!!!!
unless the company has released a mobile version of the ap.... nope. You're stuck learning on your PC or laptop.

You cant just convert an .exe to a.cab fine and pop it in the phone and have it run. You would basically have to rewrite an entire new program.
Do a GOOGLE for Rosetta Stone WM there are lots of options out there on other forums that cannot be posted on this forum

you can convert the downloaded torrent files to mp4 using "videora htc touch pro2 converter"...i have some p90x videos on my tp2...videora converts everything...lol...best of all its free...you may want to convert it while you sleep cause it can be a little slow, depending on the quality you select...
i know this isn't really what you meant but couldn't you run it through remote desktop? i think there a way to have the sound come out through the device speakers.

There is a slight problem with your solution: rosetta stone isn't videos, it's interactive software so you can't just convert it and make it smaller. I think the best solution is just to use RDC. If you tried to put language cds on your phone it would slow to a crawl if not more trying to read the large files.
Thx Everyone!!
Thank you everyone but i guss i have no option than to sit on my PC and study which is like 20 to 30 min a day . I would have been very helpfull since i spend 2 to 3 traveling each day. If anyone figus out anyway please let me know and i would be very thankfull.

I don't think the dude knew what he was talking about. I have been longing for a mobile version of Rosetta Stone forever.
Can't one install Linux or something on the phone and then run the app from there?
Tried a session through remote desktop, only problem is that Rosetta Stone in full-screen wasn't really full-screen, wrong aspect ratio and hence a significant part of the right screen on my phone went unused. I couldn't get speech recognition to work either. Anyone have an idea on how to enable a bluetooth microphone to send audio to the pc from the phone remotely?
adjust remote desktop setting to have it adjust the screen size tot he size fo your phone screen. you can also adjust the color quality there.
Could be. I still need to know how to map my microphone to the remote session and then have Rosetta Stone use the microphone for its own purposes.
since when does Rosetta Stone use a microphone? do you mean speakers?
since it exist!
