I have an AT&T Tilt 2. i have flashed many roms on it. i do task 29 then flash new rom. problem is, there are only two roms on this site that work completly, all other roms i have a problem with the end/home key not working when i read or look at a text or mms. the key works in all other tabs/ functions thou. i just want to see if i can find why this happens and see if i can fix it. the two roms it works fine with are "e2_ROM_25_20100320 and TPC v7_23544. all other roms ive tried i cant get the end key working. i have tried remapping the answer key for the end key function also to no effect. works just like the end key does. in text view no worky fine, all other tabs/ functions worky fine. anyone think they can help, i thank you!
what do you mean "end/home key not working "?
when you press it nothing happens? also why you press end/home key when you reading SMS message???for what? trying to go back to home screen?
Forgive the question, but just what is "task 29"? I've done a search and came up with tons of posts where it is mentioned, but none actually explain what the heck it is?
This is the first time I've heard the phrase used in the 2 years that I've been here. LOL!
Thanks,
Debbie

Basically it clears your storage without flashing your ROM.
For the OP, it sounds like a driver thing. Have you tried asking in the specific ROM thread?

Many thanks! How the heck did I miss this??? LOL! I had tons of threads, most which were referring to "Task Manager", because it tagged the word "task" instead of the entire phrase (search is not a perfect animal), so I was way confused.
Seems I can't use this anyway due to my USB connection being all FUBAR. I have to use a BT USB to sync, so I guess I won't be doing much flashing until I get it fixed. Too much $$$ for me to do that right now unfortunately.
I will certainly subscribe to the thread for use down the road.

Yes, while I'm in sms or mms the end/home key does nothing. I only push that button to return to the home/today screen. i have ask in a rom forum that it was happing with and was told to try task 29. i do that already.
Any-one think they can help me? I have a new tilt2 and I still have my problem. I've tried all i can think of but I'm still new to this phone.
I think I've narrowed it down to HTC message itself. I've tried a few roms that had no HTC Message and the key works fine. Install HTC Message and the key no worky fine. I install HTC Message cause I like the way it looks and works, it being slow dont bother me. If someone knows of another messaging cab I could use instead of HTC's but looks and feels like HTC's, please tell me or give me cab to try. Thanks!
I gues I'm the only person with this problem, I've looked all over the net and this web site and see no-one with this problem. I dont know if its me doing it or my computers doing it to my phone, but even with a new tilt 2 I have the same results. i dont know how to cook or dump roms yet ( working on it ) but maybe, if some-one has the end key drivers or a regtweek or any other idea I could try, they could post it here for me to try.
Well,, I"ve tried and tried to fix this problem I'm having to no sucsess. I've Flashed a rom that HTC Messaging works on, gone through all the regisrty and settings and can't see any differance between one it works on and one it don't work with. I wish i knew more about coding and programing, but im not that smart. I have tried every way of flashing that I could come across on all of xda site. And like I've siad before, I have another tilt 2 so i dont think its my phone. I have redownloaded roms, task 29, factory flash then custom rom, redid HardSPL, all kinds of flashing combos but nothing works. I would really love to fix this but I'm at a loss. If any of you guys or gals can help me, please do!

Has anyone figured out how to get your carrier to display correctly after flashing Rom. My carrier is Cincinnati Bell Wireless and it is now displaying 310420 instead. Thanks
Try http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1019932&highlight=operator+name#post1019932
appreciate it. and for the record I was doing searches and I for some reason wasnt finding it. thanks
Hey man, I know the search isn't as good as it could be. I knew I'd seen an answer for this and after a couple of searches myself it turned up on page 3 (I think) of "Operator blank".
Anyway the advice to search is just my sig anyway.
Hope it works.
no its cool I meant it when i said appreciate it.
there isnt anyway of mapping the alternate characters that you know of is there. I found 1 thread but they didnt know how to do it.. maining if you press and hold the M key down you get the ! instead.....
just figured I'd ask... its my last tweak till the phone is complete.
If you mean what I think, funny enough I saw it a few minutes ago on the Wizard wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
wasnt exactly what I was looking for. the Dash rom allows you to press a key and hold it in then it displays the alternate character (i.e. of you press and hold the M key in you will get the ! character). from what I have read the s620 doesnt do this right out of the box. I have a dash but reflashed it with the HTC Rom, now I have lost that functionality. you would think this would be a reg hack........I guess I will keep looking. if anyone knows how to make this work I would love to know how...thanks!
bkeaver,
What's more irritating, the loss of the ability to hold down a key for the alternate or XT9?
I'd give up the hold a key function if XT9 was gone. Man I hate that...
-Mc
i didnt realize I didnt have the xt9 capability abymore. but I dont know how much that bothers me. Does the original rom for the s620 not have that capability either???
the s620 never had t9

I installed the diamond keyboard and it screwed up my autocomplete for the To field of a sms. Checked all the settings and everything and nothing, removed it and all is fine. I still like the HTC phone pad better.

It's almost the exact opposite for me. When I use the "To:" field in a new SMS, I just type the first couple of letters of the persons name into the field and hit enter, and the keyboard offers up the names that match that in the auto-complete field. Working fantastic on my Hermes.
So who actually has this working on the hermes?
I would like to have a keyboard that thumb friendly..

It works fine on my Hermes, but scratch what I said above. It has totally disabled contact auto-complete from the hardware keyboard. In addition, I've tried to uninstall it three times and it just hangs at the screen where it's doing the uninstallation, with the spinning Windows thing, forever until I soft reset the phone. I'm thinking I may have to do a hard reset to get this thing off my phone.
Has anyone had trouble uninstalling this from their phone?
I have it working- I like it a lot actually. I used to like the old HTC phone pad, and this is like that but a little more polished. The word prediction works well.
Don't know If i'm going to stick with it- want to see how it eats memory, etc.
I had it working too, I like it except that auto complete bs. It took awhile, but it did uninstall. Here is the htc phone pad for anyone that needs it.
Okay, you're right, it did uninstall. I probably could have taken a nap in the time it took to do it, but it finally did. I'm back to the old trusty phone pad as well.
Tried it too, didn't like it much though...
Tried to uninstall, took ages, and never uninstalled after all...
The keyboard is still there, working fine. But the option to uninstall it is now gone. I would really like to get rid of it, so if there are any one who's got any bright ideas I'm open to suggestions... (I did soft-reset the device after the "uninstall")
Can't get alphabets from the keyboard. Just the digits and no way to get it. If any one knows about the settings it requires the please update. I have uninstalled it successfully.
I'm really hating that I downloaded this garbage onto my phone. The keys are a MESS. I've tried to download the fixes but I still can't sync my dash to my pc to even begin to fix it.
I called T-Mobile and their systems are down or something and won't be back up for 24 hours. UGH! I'm never downloaded "the latest" anything ever.
Sorry. I don't mean any disrespect but I can't believe I was foolish enough to blindly ruin my phone.
Does anyone know how I can fix it?
?
What steps did you follow, what ROM did you use?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374890
OH SHOOOT! I'm a jackass!! I disconnected the dash before I did the second install to fix the keyboard.
Is there a way to get that fixed?
not quite sure
what you mean. After you flash the ROM then it goes through a couple of setup stages and reboots. You should then be presented with a working newly flashed rom at your new homescreen. You can then Activesync and copy over the keyboard fix and install it.

I dont think you understand what I mean. I cannot sync my dash at all. I've reseted both my pc and dash and nothing. I believe the computer is not recognizing the dash and I cannot connect online to even send/receive emails.
Again I ask, is there some way to fix this so I can at least sync my dash?

Place it on the memory card, then open up Resco File explorer find the file click on it, intall to phone.
Reboot phone.
If predictive txt is on? Open up messaging in the input text box press FN+space click abc as this will turn off predictive txt.
Glad you got it synced.
Dash Synch
Is your Dash still synching. Mine did once or twice but cannot get it to synch again.

Why is everyone so sarcastic around here? I'm not well educated in this subject, so that's why I joined...to get answers. I think the 6.1 is COOL but I can't access my email and messengers not to mention these weird text messages from 4570 and 4700...
Okay so ive been browsing this site for a few days, each day spending hours trying to find the solution to my issue. and i havnt found it yet.
***I bought this phone off somebody, it wasnt mine originally. already came with WM 6.1 and alot of other stuff***
my problem isnt that i want T9 texting instead of the predictive type(like mostly all of the ones i find)
my problem is that my phone is stuck in some hybrid qwerty/standard cell text entry. the pads that are grey (Numbers) are stuck assuming i want to type useing them as a standard cell. ( multi-tap)
but what i want is for the button to be used as its QWERTY. all the solutions involve downloading some keymap. but i already have done that, and used all of the Tegic ET9 keymaps. none of them change the text enrty.
then i find that im supposed to hold ALT and press space, well my ALT button appears to not work. so then that doesnt help either. thers no way i can find to get full QWERTY texting, which makes it annoying that it even has a full keypad that i can only half use.
does anyone see my issue? can anyone help?
is there a way to go back to predictive type and maybe that will bring back QWERTY?
okay, so after EVEN more reading and researching, i see that i can either try a remap (which im pretty sure i have tried) or reseting back to original ROM.
which i dont want to do really, because i kind of like the 6.1 build.
a new question i have is, if i upgrade to the 6.5 i see on this site, will that fix my problem?
is my ALT key broke? i see the same problem happened to alot of people, but i dont think that we can all have ONE similar broken key, resulting in the exact same problem. seems kind of... odd?
so yeah. if anyone could help, that would be awesome...

Hmmm... I know that in the ROM threads there are multiple posts of keymap files. Try using one of those.... If that doesn't work, then definitely do a reflash. Realize that you CAN go to the original ROM, and then go back to whatever you want, going back to the original may clear up some issues (or tell you if it is the ROM that is causing the problem.) ANother alternative is HARD-RESET, which is like flashing a new ROM, but not exactly, it just clears the memory to "factory default" (or just the basic ROM files that were originally installed)
Good Luck
okay, so im thinking of just trying these steps, tell me if this should work.
1. hard reset
- keymap/ xt9 and see if that works
2. rom downgrade to original
-see if that works with maybe the xt9
3. after downgrade, upgrade to 6.5
-with all the many fixes this should work?
so im thinking this should work?
oh and im just going to give my older sister this phone, she doesnt use phones to the extent that i do. so if i go to 6.5 would it be user-friendly for her? i still need to fix this text entry problem tho.
and how long do you think this would take?
ok so last night i did a hard reset on my Excalibur and ever since haven't been able to use my keyboard right. half works and the other half uses abc format. i have tried reloading my kavana rom twice and every time i get the same thing. texting is a ***** and im not sure what to do about it.
if you guys can help and use detailed instructions id appreciate it

Hi, while on text do the following FN + SPACE choose ABC. Please read the sticky and do a search , this has been addressed many times. On that note, thread closed.
