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?
seems like everytime I open a text message and go to respond, the keys dont work. I can feel the haptic feedback but no text is entered. I have to exit the app and reenter.. Its not only in Messages, but all apps. Other buttons on the screen seem to work, but the buttons do not.
anyone else been noticing this?
Yup!
I've noticed it most typing in the text box of forums... though it is inconsistent.

Yeah mine does that too and it takes a few seconds to get out of the loop then it can type again. Kinda weird wonder if any fix to this.
Keyboard Issues
+1 to this issue
One exception: My keyboard is typing but it doesn't visually show what I'm typing. When I close the keyboard and reopen it the words I typed then show, but nothing typed further will show unless I close the keyboard and reopen it again.......Again this issue is inconsistent.
I've only had this issue since the 2.2 update.
Anyone got a fix yet?
is anyone running the Overclock widget? It seems like once the message pops up "overclock widget has been granted superuser permissions" everything returns to normal... until I go to respond again ahhhhh
i have the same problem i was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it i thought my phone was goin bad really quickly because i like just got it a couple weeks ago but i dont know what the deal is
if i goto messages i can press all the keys and nothin comes up and if i go to landscape the box is gray and i feel it has to kick in later
another problem i have been having is when i click on to call someone itll call them like 20 seconds later instead of immediately anyone else get this problem too?
i find that if I turn the phone into landscape mode, click the bubble, then turn the phone right side up again.. It works... seems more like a software bug then anything.. or something to do with the sensors.
My friend's Evo running stock FroYo has had this problem. I haven't seen it, but I am running a custom rom. I wonder if that makes a difference.

What keyboard are people using? I thought it was a Swype thing, but it sounds like the problem is more general.

I seem to be having a problem with the messaging app (the HTC one)
While typing a message, for some reason, the app will scroll upwards slightly (not to the top of the thread, just a bit up so the text box is JUST out of view). I then have to scroll back down to continue typing. Does anyone know why this might be happening, and if I can do anything to stop this?
Thanks
In landscape or portrait?
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk
Only landscape as far as i know. I'm not sure if it happens in portrait since I only ever reply to texts in landscape.
I'm having a similar issue where the phone will start doing things on its own. I'll go to start sending a message and it will scroll and press random buttons.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yup I have the same, strange and quite irritating.
I get this too, don't think it's happened in portrait for me yet, just landscape.
Also, when I'm deleting text it'll sometimes pop up the screen letting me delete messages instead of the text, so I have to go back and reclick the box to carry on again.
I've also noticed that sometimes I'll get like a new text message notification after I've replied to a new text, even though I've obviously read it?
This is quite frustrating after a while, can anyone look into this?
Im having same issue as well.
On top of that my received messages from people are time stamped a couple hours behind. Not sure whats going on here

Does anyone else have a problem with the phone typing in CAPS right after you slide out the keyboard?
Also, anyone know how to tweak it so when i press "enter" it sends the message?

I also have this happen to me, and the caps this has happened to me too. I hope this is fixable.
Hey guys,
just to update my findings, it sure seems to me that it's a light-sensor issue. Most of this happens in low or inconsistent light scenarios. In my case it happens specifically under or near one lamp in the early morning.
Can anybody else verify that it's happening in situations like this?
I'm seeing this scrolling issue too. As has been said, it looks like it's due to the program loading up all the previous messages, i.e. when it's finished doing that it then "jumps".

this is also exactly what is happening to me. perhaps a future update or a custom ROM might fix this..can anyone confirm?
I'm still very new to Android. Is the messaging app an HTC thing (my own guess) or a standard Android utility ?
Check this thread, particularly post 22 onwards, for details on how to replace the HTC version of the SMS app with another one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=846231
To answer my question above - yes, it looks like the stock version is an HTC app, not an Android one.
Can confirm it's a HTC app. On my old HTC HD2 I used a total clean 2.2 android rom and the app is very different
Got both scroll and CAP problem, sometimes
I have the scrolling problem and also my sms notification does not clear from the notification window shade unless I click on it there. Going directly into the messaging app and reading/replying to the sms leaves the notification there.
I was using ChompSMS but that gave me jip with repeatedly sending the same sms again and again, so i switched to the standard HTC sms app - which has these problems!
had the same problem... handcent doesn't have this problem, and I installed a rom with the stock sms app (villsion) and have had zero issues since!
Yeah, switched to the vanilla messaging app and all is well.
Sprint Version, OTA update on launch day.
Bug 1: Continually goes into "Car Mode". I'm not sure if it is somehow related to the holster I'm using or what, but I pull my phone out at least 20-30 times a day and it's in car mode. It becomes super annoying when you answer a call and it immediately goes to speaker phone. I tried "force stopping" this app, but that didn't work. Next step is to freeze it, but come on...I shouldn't have to do that. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Anyone have insight about some auto-Car mode or pushing certain buttons turns it on automatically??? Weird.
Bug 2: When typing in the texting app (only place I've observed it). I'll get a few words in, then randomly, the cursor goes back to the beginning. It's been happening pretty consistently and I even noticed it on the demo model at the Sprint store (thought I had hit an arrow or something). This happens ~3-5 times per day and annoys the hell out of me.
Other than these, this phone is a BEAST. Super fast and beautiful screen. I'm missing CM10 and will definitely root/flash when the bootloader is cracked.
Anyone else notice bugs similar to these?

For the curser thing. Try Swiftkey. You'll absolutely love it, plus it fixes the keyboard curser issue
Thanks for the replies...
Bug 1: This is due to the magnet in the flap of my holster. I'm not a holster guy at all, but at work it's a must since I wear scrubs all day. I can reproduce the Car Mode by placing the phone close to the flap magnet. Makes me think they're going to have Car Mount accessories that will have a magnet and automatically turn Car Mode on when mounted. Also makes me think I need a different holster because my phone thinks it's in the care and I can't shut the damn Car Mode off (yet). Sigh.
Bug 2: It's not the keyboard. I know and like swiftkey, but like the stock android keyboard even more. I installed the AOSP 4.2 Keyboard 10 minutes after getting the phone. The bug lies in the Messaging app. I'm now running GO SMS without any issues....buuuuuttttt....I shouldn't need to do that to sidestep an annoyance in such a critical and basic app. Who the hell is testing these things and lets them out the door with even the slightest flaw in either the phone or SMS apps???
I'm missing my AOSP more and more. I love the phone and the hardware is quite impressive, but if this device doesn't get cracked and CM10 or 10.1 soon, I'll be swapping it out.
the only bug I've seen on this phone so far is that sometimes spell check does not work in the messaging app and then sometimes it does. (Spell check as in when it underlines an incorrectly spelled word in red)
I have noticed the bug #2 as well within the messaging app. Pretty annoying.

But i do occasionally have the Car Mode. bug I need this 4.1.1 update asap
Any fixes for Bug 2? My boyfriend & I got the same phone at the same time, and mine does this, his doesn't. I also think it has something to do with the tilt sensor. I'd appreciate any input if someone knows the cause. Thanks!
For 2, I use another messaging app and swift key flow and it doesn't do it anymore. Go SMS or the jelly bean app

I can confirm bug 2 when using SwiftKey 3 on the stock messaging app and especially when typing comments in websites.
the texting bugg has completely gotten annoying for me.. Cant type a full message without the arrow going back to the first word.

Use a different keyboard.
I use Swype but Swiftkey should work too. It is not the messaging app or the Rom.

I too believe it's the keyboard and the placement of it's keys. Using 4.2 keyboard and no problems. Just a taste of some AOSP to come. Hopefully (crossing fingers)
Has there been any official word when we are supposed to receive the update? I know it rolled out in Korea last month.

Love the hardware too much but if the update does not come in 14 Days I will downgrade to the GIII.
