Get More... and alpha dialing on New HTC Rom - HTC Excalibur

Hey all, i just flashed my T-Mobile Dash with the latest WWE 1.33.422.1, and i have a couple of issues that i am unable to solve.
1) Why does the carrier name say "Get More...", and is it possible to change this?
2) Is there any way to enable alphanumeric dialing like there was on the t-mobile rom? Not with the call screen background hack, i mean true alphanumeric dialing. (registry edit or something)
Help is greatly appreciated

I tried using an original Dash homescreen and it displayed as T-Mobile. I'm guessing it's hidden in the home screen XML.
I tried dumping the registry from the Dash ROM and the new ROM but there are too many differences between the two for me to figure out if it's a simple registry change. (At least not without a guide).

hmm, using a home screen from another one did it for you? thats weird... im using the same home screen i was using on the T-Mobile firmware and it still isnt displaying properly....

I wonder if it's location based, but it did say T-Mobile when I was using the blue T-Mo homescreen.
I would check, but I flashed back to T-Mobile's ROM, I didn't like the quirks in this one.

I agree, my only big complaint about this rom is the lack of alphanumeric dialing.
I've installed the cab that puts the image up with the letters, but it DOESN'T SHOW DURING INITAL DIALING, only during a call.
WTF?
Anyone have any idea how we can figure this out?

with theh htc rom there's two images you have to overwrite, not just one.
HTC_BrandingBrickImg_320x27.bmp
and
HTC_CallProgressBkg_320x186.bmp
replacing (or editing) those two images will give you the button image (or whatever you want to call it) for a regular phone.

Problem with new WM6.1 ROM

Hey everyone, got a quick question.
I just finished installing the WM6.1 ROM for my T-Mobile dash, and it looks really nice. Everything is working fine, but I have two small problems.
The first thing is that for some reason, my phone wants to put a + in front of all outgoing calls. So if i make a contact in my address book with the phone number of 212-555-1212 and try to call them, the phone places the call as +2125551212 and I get an error from tmobile saying that 'The international phone call you are trying to make cannot be completed...' I realize that + denotes the international dialing prefix, and I can get around it by setting up all my contacts with a '1' before the area code, but there has to be a simpler solution as this was not the case with the original rom. If I dial a number normally, it doesn't put the + before it. Any ideas?
Lastly, I am having a hard time finding out how to disable the JOGGR from doing in-call volume adjustments. While I like it for scrolling, I find it really annoying in phone calls as it is constantly missreading my face as my finger and adjusting the volume up and down. In the original t-mobile rom there was an option under settings for it, but I can't see it in the new rom. I went into the registry editor and tried disabling one function that looked like what I wanted to turn off, but it didn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No idea about the + but the JOGGR disable is still in the Settings. It is on the 3rd page, #3 JOGGR.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I am able to disable the JOGGR completely using that, but I was hoping for a way to use it for scrolling, but not for volume control.
In regards to the + problem, I went through every option in Settings and couldn't find anything. All the Regional information is correct. I even used the RegEditor to search for + in the entire registry, and it came up with nothing relevant.... Weird. Especially because even if this is an international version, there shouldn't be a + in front of all calls by default, because that would force an international call no matter what country you are in...
Well, I think that it fixed it self in regards to the + problem. Even though I had done so before to no success, figuring that it is running a Microsoft product, a couple of reboots later and it seems to have gone away. Hopefully this isn't a bug that will continue to resurface or is the tip of a larger iceberg.
Just FYI, the + is the prefix for international dialing. If you input all your contacts as +1-404-555-1212 you won't have the problem (1 is the country code for the USA). Another plus to this method is that, if you should go outside the US to a country that uses the GSM network, you can dial your contacts directly via whatever carrier you're on there.

2nd Line on Dash

I recently purchased an unlocked T-mobile Dash and activated it with Rogers. I got the two lines put on it(one business number, one personal number). Everything is working fine, I receive calls, txt and voice mail through both lines. Unfortunately I cannot seem to be able to make outgoing calls through the 2nd line.
I was wondering which if any of the wm6.1 firmwares or perhaps a add-on program would be able to activate the line selection on the phone. I am currently using the T-Mobile WM 6.0 firmware.
I have spent the better part of 5hours searching these forums and new firmwares but cannot find anything on the 2nd line support.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Please any help would be appreciated. Someone must know if any of the 6.1 firmwares would have this feature enabled. I have tried looking but there nothing in the firmware notes.
I would rather not have to update one at a time.

I have two lines but I use a dual SIM adapter which allows me to switch between the lines for outgoing calls via an interface. This may be the way you have to go as well as I do not know of any other way to do it.
Well, I finally decided to try and put the Rogers firmware on the phone, that seems to have solved the line issue. It still would be nice to know if any of the 6.1 firmwares have the line selection in the phone options.

That is the most common way it is done, and it is the only way I know works for sure... So if anyone wants to do this I would recommend doing it...

video call function no where to be seen on my TP2

Hi,
Does anyone have the same problem as I do where it is not possible to do video calls? The option (as stated in the manual) can not be seen anywhere on my phone. Just wondering if it is something that is disabled in the ROM, and how to fix this issue?
ROM Version - 1.12.531.2 (49169) WWE
Radio - 3.44.25.17
Protocal Version - 61.24t.25.17U
Have you checked the toggle located at the bottom left of the dialer when you open the phone app?
When I press the button you mentioned, it would bring up call history page rather than toggle into video call mode. Forgot to mention though, my TP2 has T-Mobile logo all over it so it may not be generic?
Thanks for the reply!

I believe u don't have the front facing camera? If that's the case, then u won't have that function (cuz most of the companies remove the second camera and I don't remember whether T-mobile is one of them or not)

are you located in the United states or in europe?
Thanks for all your replies. I was deeply worried at first fearing that I may not have the second camera. It was a big relief to have finally found the second camera alive and working, which is making me thinking the ROM had the video call function disabled. Does any one know if T-Mobile in the US supports video call?
For all who are interested, I got mine from Asia and had asked for a English version rather than a Chinese version. What I got was a non-branded TP2 with what appeared to be a fully customised T-Mobile USA ROM. (Perhaps confirming that it will be available in the US?) The ROM version appeared to be quite old compared to others that are out there though.
I can not wait for the Hard SPL to flash mine to see if I can get the video call going, and perhaps getting rid of all the T-Mobile settings on the phone as I am in Australia.
Crikey so you're in Australia with an Asian TP2 running an American ROM?
Sounds like a recipe for disaster! Looks like your stuck til someone breaks the HSPL barrier.
same here
I got my TP2 in Taiwan (as I live in Taipei ) and they put the english Tmobile ROM in. Phone has both cameras (front/rear) but no option so I'm looking as well how to get it working.
I also got a problem with MMS (did all the phone company Chunghwa settings) but I can only receive MMS and I cannot send (it tries but stays in outbox).
Trying to figure out if there's a registry to fix these things.

Call answer delay?

I'm working with a Tilt2 running the stock euro HTC 6.5 rom
and I have an odd delay. once a call comes in and I either use
the "slide to answer" feature or if i just press the call answer button
there is a long...sometimes 10 second delay between my action and
the call actually connecting.
During this time i often miss calls and ive asked those who are calling me
what they hear and they say my phone goes silent for 10 seconds before i
answer. any ideas?
Someone else found this link, not me -- and I haven't tried it, but I have experienced similar (3 secs though and not often).
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=458469&postcount=1
After doing this it does seem to pick up the calls a lot faster but now I'm getting a slew of various data connection errors. SOTI wont connect, my weather tab will not connect.
Thanks for the assist I'm going to try and find a happy balance between the two reg settings
Update: I was wrong initially about the reg edit fixing things. I had my wife call immediately after the edit and it seemed to fix it when I noticed the connection issues through various programs.
Well during work today I answered about 7 calls. The delay affected all of the and on all but 1 the call actually disconnected before it allowed me to speak. so i will be reversing the red edit to combat the connection issues.
So clarify a few questions I Got regarding this:
When the phone rings and I press the answer button or "slide to answer" the ringing does stop and the icon in the task bar shows a call connected. but for me and my caller we hear dead silence for 10 seconds until they either hang up or the call connections. Any ideas friends?
I'm having the same issue on my US AT&T Tilt 2. It is driving me crazy, the regedit did not fix anything for me either. Did you figure you this out at all?
Are you guys running stock or a custom ROM? I have had this issue in seven ROMS. In my case, it seems that my phone has to have the ATT Dialer to avoid this. Tried Energy Photon and Leo,Josh Koss, TPS, and Shadowline. All had this problem. I'm now on Fusion 6.0 with the ATT Dialer. Not one issue. Day before I flashed this one, I missed 19 calls at work because I couldn't get the slider to register. Tried TPC's latest last night(he uses the HTC Dialer), missed calls. Flashed ATT Stock no problem. Fusion is the only other ROM I found with an ATT Dialer.
It seems there is a conflict in the device when connecting.
Some things to try:
- remove the custom dialer (just use the WM6 dialer, but this will loose video calls)
- check if there is some call-recording software that kicks in
- does this happen when the device is off or also when it was already on?
I'm Using HTC's stock rom instead of the ATT rom. since I'm America I really would not be apposed to loosing video call from the dialer since Its not supported on my network but I'm really not sure how to change the dialer back to AT&Ts ...is this something that would have to be cooked into the rom because I cant stand AT&T's rom.
Flash a ROM that uses the AT&T dialer: problem solved.
Your options are: Stock AT&T, At0mAng, Arrupenthal, Twopumpchump roms.
So how do we go about getting a cab file of the AT&T dialer, video share and PTT packages that each individual user can apply as needed? Is this even possible and would it require uninstalling whatever dialer the chefs cooked in? I think it would be impractical to ask the chefs to make two versions of their ROMs (one for at&t tilt2 users and one for everyone else) as I have attempted to cook my own ROM and know how difficult it can be.
Thanks,
Stephen

sorry. bad post

Stock HTC ROM on Tilt 2, answering phone issue

I have searched but not found any links to a fix, I really like using the stock WWE HTC ROM on my Tilt 2 but I am having problems answering calls with slide to unlock. When I slide it sticks and doesn't answer the phone. Is there a fix for this? I have read I need to use the att dialer but I can't find a cab for it or other patch.
Thank you
I too were having this problem and searched for the answer.
In order to fix it you need AT&T dialer not HTC dialer.
Ok, how do I get that dialer?
Thank you
Since your phone is stock, I don't know what "tweaking" tools come with a stock rom, but do a search for "advanced configuration tool", and inside that program, go to the phone menu and there will be an option for "PHONE SKIN", and it will most likely be enabled (by default). Disable it, and when it asks to reboot, the AT&T dialer will be back. You lose video calling, but I don't think at&t uses that anyway.
I personally like the at&t dialer anyway.
While that solves the problem it also removes the ability to use the speaker phone by placing it face down and also the mute button. From searching I see I need to use the att dialer (not the WM 6.5 dialer or the htc dialer). Anyone know how I can replace the dialer with the att dialer?

If it's a Tilt 2 - then is was supposed to come with the AT&T Dialer installed. If it's not running now then either it was flashed with the wrong ROM or you have altered the phone somehow. If you have run a COnfiguration Utility of some sort, go back and look carefully at what you altered and set them back to the original values.
You might try a Hard Reset. If it doesn't work after that - take it back for an exchange, either the ROM image or hardware are faulty.
Good Luck!
I ended up running the e2 sense ROM which works correctly.
