Problem With My Dash - HTC Excalibur

I purchased the Tmobile Dash from someone used. After getting it home I found out that the 4 and 5 buttons when pressed actually register 1 and 2. The 6 button will press and sometime it works and sometimes it doesn't. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?
Thanks

Good luck,

Thank you for the quick response. I have done a hard reset already on the phone and that did not clear up the issue.

WiFi On/Off Link Fix (Work Around actually).

I stumbled across this in the Universal WM6 Forum.
I can't take credit for it, Szilamer is the creator of this neat little fix.
See the original thread here.
I simply modified his cab file to include the signed dll (so it will auto start on our Hermes) and added the settings for button size and location.
You need to install both Cab files and then restart your device.
This will be embedded into WMXL v0.30 but I didn't think it was right to make you guys wait once we got it working properly.
Enjoy....
Finally!!Great work, like always..
wiki updated.
(lol like a hawk!)
Hey, thanks for scouting this solution out for us, man!
Good luck tomorrow on the house transaction. Always lots of fun, those.
Best regards
Ben
EDIT: Not just scouting it out but getting Szilamer to tweak it for the Hermes!
sweet! Does the job perfectly
Excellent! I've been looking forward to this. It works like a charm

I think you and I were on that thread at the same time. Excellent you got it to auto start.
Good luck with closing and hope all goes well. Right after they give you the keys, run
Thank you it works great in LVSW Rom, only that it appear over the old wireless manager link.. great job.
great work
thank you very much
only that it appear over the old wireless manager link.. great job.
if you know how to move it to left side,so be cool
The placement is by design (the link it covers does not currently work in WM6).
If you really want to move it then read the original thread, it explains what registry keys to change.

After install the 2 cabs, reset, having fun turning on & off wifi, I'm experiencing a weird problem. The phone felt into deep coma if I turned on Wifi then put it on standby using the power button, the only way I can turn it back on is do a reset. I remove the cab and the problem is gone. I tested it several times already. Anyone else have this problem?
btw, I'm using the LVSW Edition (2007-03-20).

Same ROM, exact same problem... soft reset only solution.
If not a problem on ROMs other than 320LVSW, maybe conflicts with new 'wireless manager' bubble?
Cheers
Same problem on Black v1.2

I changed the xpos to 7 in the registry and it's now on the left side of the bubble.
So this was the reason for hermes freezing on LVSW (20-3-2007).
I removed cab.
I have thought that it was the reason of the rom.
Thank you, Passenger!
By the way...the best position for me was x=6.
Freezes
Hmm, that's strange.. It's working great with suspends on Universal.
Does everybody have this problem with freezes ?
(Even with WMXL version?)
Anyway there is one more method to switch on/off wifi .. (with the help of ossvcs.dll)

Help with Helmi's AKU3.3 v1.2

Hi guys,
I love Helmi's ROMs and have the AKU3.5 ROM but would really like to have Smartdial and Internet Sharing working again so could someone post a link to Helmi's AKU3.3 v1.2 rom again? I've tried searching, googling, even scouring non-English web sites to no avail so if anyone has a rapidshare/megaupload link it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Yeah.. I would like to have this classic ROM too.. all the links I found are all dead.. and it's no longer in the ftp.
I hope there is anyone nice enough to upload a copy.. thanks.

Thanks HDJ80. The link itself works fine but there are no seeds online now. No worries though as I stumbled onto another copy using the emule search. I up'd it to Rapishare for anyone who's interested.

Hey thanks man. I had no idea what emule was... and this is really what I needed. But i have O2 XDA Exec (HTC Universal)... And this ROM looks like its for QTEK. I know they're both Universals... so I guess there won't be any problems right?
Thank you so mach,I also searched this rom for a long time.
It's fine, I flashed it on my o2 with no issues.

Ok. Thanks again.
Worked like a charm for me too. Thanks!
One problem I have, in fact, is that when I press the end call button to minimise an application it instead disconnects GPRS. Has anyone else had this problem and do they know of a solution? Thanks.
How about you use the OK button to minimize instead.
Or hit the winkey then hit Today.
Good ideas, DaVince. Unfortunately I have WisBar Lite, which changes the operation of the X, hence I use the end call button.
I seem to have fixed it though. I fiddled with the Always Connected registry setting (using RegistryWizard, which I'm sure wasn't the best idea!) and now it seems to do the proper job.
Thanks for your help.

Try to search for an applet called "Soft Key Applet" here at the forum.
With this little app you can set any application under the soft key you want, you should be able to set up a file also I guess, but I'm not sure, cause I never tried it before. Just install it on your phone and give it a try. If it doesn't work you still can uninstall it.
Let us know how it went...
Good luck mate
Sorry mate, didn't realise that you were looking for a HARDWARE BUTTON solution My English is just not good enough. So I think my suggestion wont help you any further

My tab/0 button wont work

I decided I'd post this in a new thread because where i originally posted i dont think it;s going to get a response.
That said I know I've seen a fix for this a long time ago but 2hours of searching couldn't find it.
My tab/0 button wont work in certain things like SkyFire, or opera mini, some sites in IE. So whats the fix can someone help me out TY ^^
The only suggestion I can think of is trying a different ROM and see if it fixes the problem.
lol if we did that every time we'd never get anywhere. kavana had this problem with one of his older ROMs and they fixed it so i know that there is a fix for it. i just can't seem to find that post. I'd like to see if someone can actually find it or know of the fix?
.:: so holding it down for a while it will print a zero but i'd like it to do what its supposed to do::.
ok i finally figured it out.
Go to this forum here download and Install Tegic T9. It completely fixes the tab zero thing and will also remove keytouch to choose abc do the Fn + Space thing.

Remap 'home' button to 'start'

Along the bottom of the phone there's a home button and an endcall which, within programmes, seem to do the same thing - take you back to the today screen. Or, in my case the 6.5 CHome thingy. And the back button in most apps takes you to the home screen too - so that's three buttons largely doing the same thing most of the time.
The new phones with 6.5 preinstalled will have a windows-flag start menu button, I assume this will open up the new hexagony start menu.
Is there a way of remapping the home button so it launches the start menu instead?
That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking for the last days. Pressing Home-key should naturally bring up the start-menu.
Nice idea, even because reaching the top left corner with your right thumb(maybe for left handed it's easier ) while holding the HD with the right hand is a little bit tricky
I'd like something small to do this but I have a feeling most people will return with the suggestion "use aebplus to remap"
I have the same feeling wiggz, There must be a registry key or something that can be changed and put into cab format? Anyone got any ideas?
Me to
So, we are many!!
I too have been looking for a way to do this for ages.
I too will be watching this thread with interest and hope.

No aeblus cannot map the home button as it's hard coded into manila!

so as the home button is coded into manila it mean's one has to play with the manila files and remap to start menu all that would mean is to change some scripts!!
bottomline Home button in theory can be mapped to the start menu!! so it's plausible!!!
i'm going to watch this thread as well --- i've been looking for this since I got hold of my HD. I've already remapped the "back" button to S2U2 via AEB since you are correct, essentially the home, back, and end buttons all work very similarly.
Hoping that someone posts a solution to this!
i have the solution...install this program and you can change all the hard keys to do almost any function...i have mine set up to do the exact same thing that you want it to do!!
cheers!!

Thanks,but could give more informations to remap keys,please ? The list is empty when i launch the application ...
Same here. I was so happy when I found this thread..
When I tried installing that, it did not work... Maybe it was my ROM.
There are REG keys that remap home in certain cituations, i.e. manilla but I have yet to find a way to get the reg key to do anything else.
The new keypad.dll maps it to a normal vk_lwin, so you can remap it as you like.
Unfortunately I have not yet seen it an any ROM.

It is for Diamond and the author says here post 10 "For the touch HD, maybe you should download HTCAPI.DLL somewhere, put it in /Windows and try again". Haven't read the whole thread though so not sure if this is what the problem is.
i know its a little confusing to get it started...so heres what you do...install cab, go to program files\dredsensor and click on dredsensor.exe and a config.ini will appear...now close out whatever app you are using to view files...and open dredsensor...now you will see default under name...tap default and then click menu, then edit...change type to launcher...then go to click and tap the gray box next to the home key...go to events and chose Misc:Start, hit select, hit ok to comfirm, change whatever others you want to...then hit save, then hit ok to confirm...then hit exit...then you should be good to go...hope this helps!!
