Argh!!!!
I'm desperate guys!
Ok - I have tried various flavours of WM6 and various radio roms as well but here is my problem:
I use a keyboard/screen lock (the one that comes with the OS) so that if it gets nicked i've got some idiot time to phone t-mobile and cancel the sim. (yes, I also use a sim lock)
However, on rare occasions I get this same problem:
I set the keyboard lock code, in this example 1234. I then lock the keyboard and try it and its fine. I reboot the phone and the code no longer works and the ONLY way to get into the phone is by hard-reset and rebuild the phone again! I've tried everything i can think of including:
Using the keyboard
Using the onscreen keyboard
lots of soft resets
diferent builds of WM6
I know im typing in the correct pass number yet it refuses to use it. Now, remember this happens one out of every three reboots.... the ONLY way I have found round this is as i've said, hold those magic buttons down and poke the stick in the magic hole.
Any ideas whats causing it to lose the numbers I give it?
Any ideas what it wants me to type when it does lose them?
How can I stop it??????
Thanks for your help!
gets better!
Now, after a couple of soft reboots it wont even "click" the unlock option. I can type any numbers I like but, as soon as I click "unlock" at the bottom, it highlights - so it knows its being hit - and does nothing.
I'm so very confused.

Hi there.
I've problem with NOTES aplication in my TP2.
Sometimes when i writing in notes my device doesn`t response.
I've made test. Open notes, new note, and in every single line i start writing digits from 1 till 9.
example:
As you can see, my device doesn`t response sometimes when red spot are. I used this same stylus pressure.
Please try your device, and let me know. Please please please...
Can u answer anybody please.
Yep, mine does it too.
And with about the same "miss rate" of two and bit characters per page.
I don't think its too much to worry about, i think its probably the phone trying to process all the input for the notes program.
Edit: My old atom, instead of missing bits, produced garbage if u scribbled fast. I prefere it to miss out 1 character that stop registering stylus lifts for a whole line.
thank u for repaly
Guys just tell me, are you not getting angry if you have to repeat this same thing twice sometimes while using NOTES?
I realise that is not only notes aplication.
When i'm using software keyboard ( FULL QWERTY) sometimes i have to Tap this same letter or digit twice to showed up on the display, becouse my device doesnt respond every time i tap, even using this same stylus pressure while tapping. Tell me if your devices are this same.
same thing on my phone. it's a BLAST trying to click links in opera when the link takes up the entire page and you still cannot click it.
but! if you click and hold it will let you open in a new tab instead.
i'm tired of it. phones going back to the T-mobile store.
Yeah Opera sometimes has trouble clicking a link but it's not enough for my to send this baby back I love this device!
Guys what about using " on screen keyboard " (i used FULL QWERTY) ? Do you have to tap twice sometimes this same letter?
This is a exemple i did to show you that device did`t respond from time to time.
My TP2 is fine. The text enter correctly. I am not a fast typist though.

Please can someone else confirm that?? Do a test exactly this same i did.
I got this from HTC service:
"Dear Sir, HTC appreciate you may have an issue. Your device should recognize each and every screen tap. If you are not getting the performance you desire you may need to adapt the way you are using the handset. I would advise you start by calibrating your screen again. Thank you for contacting HTC Europe."
They are useless most times.
Only have this problem with Opera and I think it's Opear not the device since almost everyone saying yeah with Opera.
Did you do this same test as me in NOTES aplication, using Full QWERTY and stylus (not your finger)?
No problems whatsoever, opera Yea but in NOTES with stylus i can write as fast as i want and it registers everything

THe simple Answer is it is the ATT rom. IT is so loaded with crap that is freezes alot. Best advice would be to flash a custom rom.

Best I can say is the get Clean Ram, and advanced config from dev and hacking and make some minor adjustments and see if that helps.
I think I may have stumbled onto a solution to our dreaded quiet phone that doesnt notify us of a SMS or MMS and possibly email when the phone goes to sleep or standby. I have searched asked inquired, and beat every search engine and found absolutely nothing. So being frustrated of seeing msgs pop up when I hit the power button to wake the phone up I went hunting and I think I found it. I tested this all of today and so far I havent missed one yet, and normally I miss at least 3 a day. Its still in a testing phase so I DONT guarantee this works, but with some feedback with others, it might be the solution. I did alot of comparing with my other phones and my 8125 and 8525 had a different value so i changed it to that value.
I have made it a cab file so that anyone who wants to try it can uninstall it if it doesnt work, I suggest a soft reset after making this change. This changes the following location:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000001
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000
Good Luck! And if it works or doesnt, please leave feedback of either thanx or didnt work, like I said so far its working on my att tilt 2 stock eu rom 1.86
Nice one, but its already been solved here.

Well at least its here, I know there is a ton of posts going around in here about this problem, and I did munerous searches, but obviously if you dont get the right keyword you'll never find the post.
so what does this do? light the screen up everytime there is a message? or basically just solve the problem of message not ringing in sleep mode?
Basically it does the same thing it did with the 8125 and the 8525 when a msg comes in the screen wakes up from sleep, so far (I thought) I might have found a solution, but it seems I was beaten to it.
So far there isnt a solution found yet of the alert coming thru without lighting the screen up as far as I know.
yea, i thought it lights up the screen when msg comes. I have a habit of putting the phone to sleep without locking it, so it might cause problem when i put it in my pocket as i receive message more than calls.
Thanks anyway mate

Yeah but if you have the end key setup as a long hold it will lock the screen to prevent that accidential tapping of the screen. Unless you have a modded rom then you would have to see what key it is. But hey for me its better then missing a msg.
Hi AngelDeath,
Just wanted to say thx for this one -I realise this thread is old, but it's sorted my no sms alert issue on my HD2. It had been driving me nuts for ages!
Can anyone help me with a way of stopping the virtual keyboard from appearing whenever I open text programs in portrait mode? Very often I only want to read a file, not edit, however the virtual keyboard constantly and irritatingly appears every time I open such a file. It's there any way of stopping this, please?
Or alternatively, would there be a way of switching off the virtual keyboard altogether? I almost never use it, preferring always to use the hardware keyboard.
I was wondering about this too. I almost always use the hardware (that is sorta the point of getting a TP2) and it is really annoying how the virtual keyboard always pops up on its own, and 90% of the time I have to close it right away. I could see how it would be nice on a all touch screen phone, but for the TP2 it's a really annoying feature.
I'm hoping for a solve for this annoying problem also!
Trying to resolve this too
This is the closest solve so far:

i use fakesip
although its an all-or-nothing solution, it completely replaces the soft keyboard, supposedly you can switch back by selecting a different soft keyboard, but that doesnt work for me and i have to uninstall to get the soft keyboard back (which is fine for me since i never use the soft keyboard)

Use diamond tweak, and then go to point 20.1 and set the keyboard automatic display to disable and this will stop it from popping up everytime you open your email or sms. Not sure what the registry settings are, but diamond tweak is quite helpful for some of these issues.
Anyone found a registry setting for this yet?
Since this was an annoyance I got used to, I never really thought about it till I saw this thread. Although I do tend to use the on screen keyboard a fair bit.
Anywho, you can go into advancedconfig and under the "Input" tab set "Auto deploy SIP" to disabled. Tried it and it seems to do the trick so far.
Surprised no one noticed this before as I got the impression most people use advancedconfig.
oops, just checked and noticed this doesnt work in opera. hopefully this doesnt apply to anything else!
I've never used advancedconfig, but I might have to check that out if it provides a solution.
...thanks for the reply
By God it seems to work!
Fade2black101 you are a genius!
Many thanks for the fix
This works for me on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 to keep the soft keyboard from popping up automatically:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001
HD2Tweak works as well.
Does anyone know of a way to ONLY have SIP deploy in Portrait, NEVER when the keyboard is open? That would be my ideal setting, because I do use both, but I hate having to constantly close the SIP in Landscape mode

Am I supposed to create this entry? I don't see it on my Tilt 2. The extent of my registry editing has only been changing values to existing entries. Do I make the entry name TurnOffAutoDeploy without the quotes right? Case sensitive?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious...

Basically just create a DWord in the appropriate place which is within the "Sip" folder. Then click on it and make sure the base is set to "Dec." Then under "DWord Data" put the value as "00000001" Mine is set to "1" though so maybe you can set it to that and it'll still work?? Don't really know the process behind all this to be honest
Was using Resco Registry so hopefully whatever you're using is of a similar layout and format.

Thanks for walking me through that...I didn't think it worked at first, but it's been working fine after my device froze, and I had to reset it. I did a reset after I added the value but I guess it didn't stick or something...FINALLY, no more keyboard popping out!
It seems like I spend more time trying to get my phone to do what I want...than actually using it! One step closer though...

I know exactly what you mean.. I've had the Wizard and Kaiser before this phone, but because I was at uni I didnt really give a crap bout customising them too much and just got used to how crap the interface was. (especially when drunk!) That's why I had no hesitation bout getting the Touch Pro 2 once it came out. Wish I'd researched it a bit more though as I would have got the HD 2 which came out very soon after (wasn't ready to switch to android at that point). I've been trying to get the Touch Pro 2 perfect tho so haven't really been able to enjoy it properly! Constantly flashing new roms and hard resetting, etc!
On a two year contract and still got a year left, but as soon as it runs out I'm switching to android. I'd get the HTC Desire right now if I could afford it.
On a related issue: Does anyone know a tweak or fix to prevent the display, when the keyboard is closed, from automatically switching to landscape mode when the phone is tilted at a certain angle? I never need this feature and it infuriates me when I'm lying in bed trying to read the phone in portrait mode, and whenever I hit a certain angle it automatically flips over to landscape. I'd love to be able to stop that from happening.

Lol yeah I get this aswell.. I usually just switch hands!
Try downloading an app called "G-Config" which allows you to add apps to auto rotate. I think theres sum preset ones that you can remove too.
I'm sure there's registry entries that you can delete which would achieve this, but I don't know where. Hopefully someone else can help?
Quite frequently, my glide's physical keyboard stops working. A reboot fixes it but is kind of annoying to do this once a day
This is a new phone (less than a week old) and I am trying to find out if this is a known issue and if there is a fix for it. If my phone is defective, I might be able to still get a replacement from newegg.
I notice that there was another thread in XDA on the same topic but it quickly moved on to discuss some other issue with no clear advice.
Thanks and appreciate your help,

Stops working all together or opens up different applications when you press a key? I had the latter. If it is the apps opening up double check you do not have any shift type button stuck as that would make it act funny and appear to not be working properly.
Tap on "ALT", "SHIFT", "SEARCH" see if that fixes it.

If it is launching Different apps then it is the Quick launch that is the cause. You can see what Shortcut is associated with which app go here:Settings -> Applications -> Quick Launch
Most Launch with Search + any key. Perhaps your search button is stuck.

Mine has that problem as well usually requires a reboot as well but can't ever get it to just do it on command. U on a custom rom? Or stock?
If the random apps are opening, open the landscape keyboard and press the search button. If you accidentally press it and then you press a corresponding letter to open a certain app, it'll so that. And when you hit back, the phone thinks that you pressed the wrong letter key and has that quick open on. Just press search again. That's all lol

I also have the problem of physical keyboard that stops working. No random apps, it just stops working. What to do to fix the issue, aside from rebooting?
Thx

I am on stock. It's just annoying when it happens at least once in 2 days.
I am thinking of rooting it and installing a custom rom to see if that takes care of it. Will keep you all posted.
I might turn on the debugging level in the logs as well to see if I can find out what's going on. Given that this happens only every two days or so, not sure if that will help much but let me see.

I am on Rogers stock ROM. At this point, it certainly looks like something to do with the software (will be hard to find several of us having the same hardware problem).

My keyboard stops working too, but this doesn't happen very often. I experience this about once in 3-4 weeks for now.
I have had this problem a few times as well (on stock AT&T).. QWERTY doesn't respond at all, reboot fixes it! Got me worried the first couple of times though
I continue to run in to this once in a while. I have tried pressing all kinds of keys (search, alt etc) with no success. At times, I see some of the keys working but not others.
Anyway, this looks like software / driver issue. Looks like reboot is the only cure so far.
