Bug in Contacts application in WM6 - HTC Excalibur

Hello everybody, today I updated my HTC620 with the official WM6 upgrade from the HTC site. I am wondering why the hell???
The first thing were the mixed contacts from SIM card, phone and MSN. I solved it with deleting everything from the SIM card (what a solution!).
What really bothers me is the bug, that does not allow me to call my mother:
I have her number listed as "mama" and when I go to contacts and start typing "m", it shows me all the contacts, that have "m" in the beginning of either name or surname. Then I press "a" and it does not narrow the search to the contacts, that have "ma" in the beginning, but instead, the S620 understands this as "#" and does whatever it does. After pressing "m" again, I see all the contacts, that have "m" in the beginning and so on.
so after pressing "mama" it is searching "m#m#m#" and it shows me all the contacts that include "m".
My investigation shows, that this happens with all the contacts, which have the same letters before and after the second letter "a", i.e. for example:
"mam..."
"tat..."
"nan...."
Can anyone please confirm this?
Is there any fix for this?
Thanks,
Gastan

I just tried it and yep it seems to be a bug for me too. I don't know of a fix though

I noticed the same for a few contacts....
Change 'mama' to 'mamma' and the problem for this contact is solved

good solution
Thanks a lot, this really helps for this case
Amazing, what mistakes can occur in the SW.

Yeah... QA and Testing is obviously a little shoddy. I don't think we would ever see this on a Blackberry.

That latest ROM that was found/released doesn't have this bug.

Can you post this fix?

replace the attached file in folder \windows\ on phone, you may need to use total commander or any other filemanager to copy it.

Are you using the new rom ? Because only in this rom is the "z" problem.
I keymapped a lot of roms but only in the new one i can't fix this problem !
The problem is the 'z' searching in contacts, not the keyboard map.
Thanks anyway.

Calendar cab

guys can someone help with a link for WM calendar?
after installing 2.1 touch i had an issue with the left soft key in an appointment saying reply instead of edit. ive reflashed original wm5 rom and then vanmilla and same problem - now the calendar itself is playing up with things missing like letters (no am/pm just a & p) it only shows 5 hours in the working day
im just wondering if another calendar will help
thanks
guys can someone please help with this
for time, there is not pm or am on call register etc etc as well, just seems a bit strange, i re-flashed, hard reset, soft reset dunno what he problem is
the stuff you said, should be able to be fixed by settings (i.e. Flashing not required). the am/pm issue, I think it is in the regional settings. And the 5 hours working one, I think can be set in.. the Calender itself.
i tried all this, no joy, as soon as i add another rom, it all changes, but still doesnt explain why it says reply in the left soft of a calendar entry???
do you have a screendump?

ive just flashed wm5 and the calendar is fine, reflashed 2.1 touc and then the same process with vanilla and again the soft key says reply??? it didnt with wm5???
I'm not sure what you are trying to say, but from the looks of it, it is a WM6 and WM5 difference, nothing much you can do about it.

I think he's trying to say the the right softkey in the Calendar program is set to "Reply" instead of "Menu". Basically, he can't get to the menu now. Can that be fixed with the softkey program in settings? (I haven't explored this application fully, yet) But that doesn't sound right. I don't know how you would correct the way softkeys change within programs - just the home screen.
He may want to try to turn off his firewall and download it again. Then reflash just to make sure.

Thats the way wm6 works
edit is in menu\edit different to wm5.
ahh ok, so its just set like that?
your both right - menu is on the right soft key and edit is in there
i just thought it may be a problem with my rom or phone as the left soft key says reply and its not clickable. its not a big deal im not that fussy and love the software - setlled with touch 2.1 in the end. only reason i was panicking s i thought it maybe a bug or somehting and ruin my phone
thanks so much guys

[HELP] Input method is dancing when reply new sms.

Hi there,
It's quite difficult to describe the problem but I am using the conversation mode. It just occurs when I reply a new sms, my input method is 'dancing' - cannot display the input interface stably. Everytime I click the screen, it comes back to the new message, and the input turns to be hidden. Seems that the focus is on the new message, and the new message flag is not cleared even I enter the conversation. What I have to do is to exit the screen, back to sms list and enter the conversation again, everything come back to normal.
This is nothing with the input method- each of them has the same symptom.
Is anybody meet the same problem? How to fix? Thanks in advance.
What ROM are you using? This sounds like an issue related to the 20764 OS build on the new 2.03 ROMs. Try replacing the htmlnote.dll file with one from build 20755 (or possibly older).
I created a CAB with this file. Let me know if it fixes the problem.

problem with sending textmessage

I've got a new problem with my pro2.
It seems that when i'm getting a textmessage and i write an answer... in the little box down the window you see on this picture: [click for image of window]...
it will send.. no problem... (to the phonenumber: +31612345678, thats good)
but when i then send another textmessage to the same person again, in the same box as earlier, and i don't got an answer yet the pro2 shows that the message is send, but when i look at the phonenumber its changed automatic. it must be +31612345678 but then it is 31612345678 without the +... so the message is not send...
how can i solve this?
NOt a real solution, but dial two zero's "00" instead of the + sign. Though it should work with the + character
Same here! I was wondering why I didn't get a reply from the message I thought I was sending...now it's obvious.
Need a hotfix FAST!
As a business user this is totally unacceptable!

I don't think that will help, and i'm not going to change all my phonenumbers, because the + caracter must work to.
i'll try later this day with one person.

Hmm, that's all ok. So that don't caused the problem... any more solutions anyone?
The contact manager has an option to auto set the phone number.
If I (still my hermes for now) add this number 0612345678 my contact manager makes it: +31612345678
Maybe it's something with this settings of auto managing the number format. Don't give this solution much chance though
Hi i'm xperia user, with a rhodium ROM, the newest one Build 21051.1.6.4, and we (all users) have this same problem too. Even in prevorius rom version i had problem with it. The problem is in HTC roms. I think u neet to wait for a update.
Or u can ask user name Smaberg, i heart that hi solved this problem, but hi had to change some entries.

Thanks, i've send smaberg a private message. hopefully he knows the answer. strange problem!
Your buddy John might appreciate it if you edit your original message to remove his direct number from the forum.
EDIT: Hah! I'm dumb. I just noticed that it was a dummy number! I'll shut up now.
Hahahahaa, youre funny
hmm not found a solution yet! ... anyone else maybe?

Ah! i've got a reaction of smaberg! (It's for the X1 officially but i think/hope it will work to on the TP2, because it are both WM phones...) but i can not test it now...
my plan is to test it somewhere tomorrow (sunday)... i will post the results, and the answer here if i know more!
i've tested it, but the problem is still there.
I still have the same issue as well, weird no solution is available huh...
I've added a poll let's see how many people there are with the problem
you should notify HTC support - they really DO read the messages they get - describe it good, and you will get response.
How can i contact them? there website is not very clear about that

Several questions didn't found yet...

Hello All,
I've been working a few days now with the TP2... wonderfull device... Since i also used the TP and Qtek 9100 this is really great device... i have though some minor things...
1. The size, it's pretty huge... my iPhone 3G is a bit bigger though... but it needs time... Nothing to do about it, just the way it is... ...
2. Another thing is, i have been using the TAB key on the TP external keyboard very often when typing... but the TP2 doesn't have it... I found an .REG update from a person in Norway saying he added FN+T as a TAB function, but that only adds a TAB in space, not jumping to the next field... Anyone any idea how to make a real TAB functionality...?
3. Opera, i've updated Opera to the newest beta, but when restarting the phone it keeps starting Opera... The newer Opera is slower in starting the application, but when running it's faster and more responsive... Also when i uninstall the Opera i installed, the old Opera is not working anymore... So my questions are... Where/how can i disable it (i've been in the registry and HTC's bootloader anywere but no Opera)...? and Where can i get the "pre-installed" CAB file...? So i can reinstall that CAB file...?
4. When using the HTC TouchFlo contacts they are sorted as "firstname lastname". No problem, but when i select the letter at the most right so i can jump to names with that corresponding letter. It jumps to a very not logic point. When i select the letter Z it jups to names starting with D somehow it jumps not far enough. I have the Dutch TP2... Anyone noticed the same...? Or anyone made a solution for it...?
Thanks in advance,
Michiel

i have the same problem too. went to HTC customer care and they were surprised by the issue too. told them to log a case to address this, hopefully they did.
I don't have this issue on mine - the "jumps" on the contact list are flawless.
As to the size, it's only longer and heavier than my Dopod D810 (Trinity) - the TP2 is actually both narrower and thinner, only by a very tiny margin.

I haven't tried it with a shorter contact list, since i have over 400 contacts. Anyway maybe it's just a bug with the Dutch version, maybe THKC can agree on that (don't know if he has the Dutch version too).

I select the number I want to call.

i too noticed that even the video call option but after going tru the menu a second time it was gone with a and b and so on
btw i tried the cabs and the entire task-bar was unresponsive... video call not that important anyway
infact on installing the vtsetup cab, the taskbar becomes unresponsive along with the start menu button. so both programs and settings become inaccessible.
default official ROM already includes VideoTelephony support.
So it is able to install vt x2 only on clead ROM o think
i tested it on custom rom, and taskbar works
but VT call by some reasn doesn't....
As I can see, nor Ethermind, neither Ultrashot, nobody else could make Vulcan Dialer work videocalls on X1. Besides zagito.
zagito, could you explain in details, which ROM do you use, does it include Vulcan Dialer or you installed it by yourself?
Hi,
I've installed by myself on X10 ROM on X1i.
I succeed making video calls on my X1 using X1dialer, that I got here
