So I'm sure that the majority of the people that are going to read this thread have already read about the spacing problems that people have been experiencing with 6.5. I was one of the people that flashed the first build from Da_G that had the spacing issue, and figured I would flash another rom to solve the problem.
I flashed another rom, and the problem still existed. I was getting either no spaces between words (randomly) or two spaces. No big deal, I figured, I would just flash another rom.
So I did; and I still had the problem. This was getting annoying. Back to 6.1. So I flashed to 6.1. Still the same problem. WHAT THE %&[email protected]! I thought. I guess the chef cooked in some of the 6.5 files into 6.1 or something. Now this was getting REALLY old. I needed to end it quickly.
That brings me to tonight, when I flashed the official latest at&t fuze rom straight from htc's website. I KNEW this would be foolproof. And guess what.
IT STILL HAS THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So my question is: after flashing numerous times, and soft resetting of course, how is it possible that this problem still exists? It happened exactly after flashing the rom that everyone else had spacing problems with, and hasn't gone away.
PLEASE. Someone help me. I can't even use the device and it's getting to the point where I'm really close to just dumping it and going to get something else. I hope someone out there has the answer.
which keyboard or input are you using, I've been on Da G's, NRG's, Shep's and the latest at&t stock rom, wm6.1 and wm6.5 and don't have any issues. I have issues with input on certain areas of the TF3D2 stuff but nothing with spaces.

I've used almost every possible configuration with everything, and the problems I am experiencing is with the hardware keyboard. But I've used the new ezinput2, old ezinput, abc, xt9, enabling and disabling auto correct and the other options, and ive also tried a cab by monx that didnt seem to work. I'm completely out of ideas. The fact that ive flashed over the original tons of times and the problem still exists RIGHT AFTER the flash, before I even touch anything, baffles my mind.

Is it not possibly you've just got a duff space key on your keyboard, and it's nothing to do with the ROM?

Yeah, no. I think what you are experiencing is a problem that your DEVICE is retaining, not a defect in each and every ROM you happen to flash. It is either something not getting flashed correctly or a hardware problem or something else that you are installing each time. If there ARE other people with this problem, get them together in a thread like this and share notes.
I havent had any space issues.
You said you've done tons of soft resets, but have you done any hard resets? If not, that is the very first thing that I would do if I were you. I suspect it's a hardware problem, but a hard reset may cure your ills. If you do this, don't run UC or install anything until you've tested the keyboard. You haven't mentioned what you do to customize your device (like run a sprite restore, lol?), but before you blame someone else, you should do a hard investigation to make sure you're not screwing things uo yourself.
As I'm sure you already know, the Custom ROM Flash tool has been modified such that it does not issue a full wipe of the flash. Therefore, it's possible that some bits are still set. When I experience such occasional anomalies, I have resolved them by applying the official HTC 5.05.405.1 WWE (6.1) stock ROM to my device.
Here's the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478657
This will downgrade/upgrade your Radio and change the Splash; you can always re-apply your personal favorites afterwards.
Once installed, I use the CWSLayout registry entry to change the keyboard and test all of the features of the device. In your situation, if the keyboard remains "broken", it's would indicate that the keyboard has somehow failed and requires replacement or servicing.

This is the advice I was going to give as well. It's recommended that you hard reset after every ROM flash once you get to screen alignment to wipe out any data that may have been retained.

Completely agree, a hard reset pre or post ROM flash is always good practice.
I've been using the following sequence (recommended by a few senior members) for several months now and results have been positive.
Hard Reset: Volume Down & Action & Reset/Power On
Hard Reset: Volume Up
Bootloader: Volume Down
Lastly, I'm not an advocate of using Backup applications in situations where different versions of ROM's are frequently flashed. It introduces too many "unknowns".

I will say if you can't figure it out and your device is till under warranty, flash back to original and ask for a new one. claiming defective product.
That's really weird I had the exact same problem. I thought it was my space key, so i got a warranty replacement saying i had lost my phone, meaning I still have the old one. I will have to test when i get home and see if it was the hardware keys or something to do with the ROM. After getting a new phone I did notice my space key was a little sloppy, so I immediately assumed this was the problem. Hopefully I was wrong and have 2 working phones.

Had the same problem. There is a driver issue that may have caused what you're experiencing. It was discussed in the WM6.5 ROM kitchen by the chefs. I did everything you did and still had the same issues. Best fix, call AT&T and have them ship a replacement if your device is under warranty. Others have had similar issues and haven't found a solution yet. Most likely because it's a hardware failure. Wish I had better news for you.
I know it seems more than a coincident (I thought the same thing) but I've done some extensive searching and found that this is too random of an incident to blame ROMs. If it was a ROM issue, there would be a lot more people and a thread would have existed prior to yours.
If your device is under warranty, depending on where you live, there may be an AT&T Device Support Center and they carry the FUZE and will exchange the device for you. Otherwise, you'll get it in the mail in a few business days.
Cheers!

What do you mean by "sloppy"? can you elaborate a little? I just got my replacement yesterday (because of the same keyboard space bar issue as mentioned here) and I'm already running NRG's Latest WM6.5 ROM. So far so good.
"Apparently (as discussed in the Kitchen thread), there's an issue with the input driver of the 21812 build ROM. I'm not sure if that's the build NRG was using on 6/13, but it's very possible. So, Da_G has included the CompIME.dll from a working build (in this case, 21731) in the kitchen to correct the error, which was isolated in that thread by pyrorob. " ~Captain_Throwback~
Here's the cab compliments of Captain_Throwback...
by "sloppy" i meant that its not as springy and clicky as my replacement, so it made me think that the button had worn out from smashing it with my fat fingers so much and that's why it was bugging out! It must have been NRG 6/12 ROM that did it to my TP as well. Good to see there is a fix. Maybe my gf will let me trade her for her G1 now to add to my collection.

I've searched and didn't find an answer on this so if it has been asked and answered I apologize.
Since Sprint and HTC have released a ROM update will Verizon be following suit?
My phone is a daily worker and I can't afford to spend the time with trial and error on DCD's ROM, although it is very tempting.
Thanks

I myself haven't seen any official confirmation or even hinting from VZW that they're releasing an upgrade. Sprint announced it what, back in October? I'd imagine if VZW was going to follow suit we would've heard something by now. I'm gonna check a few sites and see what I can find.
Was wondering the same thing earlier today.
I doubt it...
I asked a second level support tech that yesterday and he didn't know anything about it - but that is not a surprise to me...
Its fairly common knowledge in some circles that VZW is very secretive (or maybe they just dont let their ppl know) about this stuff.
I imagine an update is indeed in the works, but nobody you talk to at VZW will have any knowledge. Those familiar with VZW and updates also know that it will probably be some time after the other carriers have their updates out. Slow and steady must be their motto...
Why wait? Trial and error with DCD's rom? Load and go.
I'm with Sprint and can't even see myself ever running a stock ROM again.

We haven't, but there are a few little nagging issues that might be resolved by a stock ROM from Verizon w/ GPS and Rev A.
For me, anytime I run a *228, my phone goes into the 20 minute acquiring signal dance. I hate that beat.
After reading through 50+ pages in the regular ROM and the 4 pages on VZW I'm holding off because of some of the smaller problems people are having with wifi, MMS, bluetooth, etc.
I'm the kind of person that if there is a 1% chance of it happening it will happen to me and I can't afford to be without my phone.
Plus it is still a bit confusing with the radio stuff, loading 2.40 unlocker first, it gets a bit much for a dabbler like myself.
Maybe if there was a very simple cut & dried walk through of what you need to do to prepare/download/install then load I'd do it.
Heck, I didn't even know what the hell a 'kitchen' was in regards to a ROM when I first got the XV6800 and I've been a smartphone/pocket pc guy for a long time
It is very very easy to go back to the stock verizon rom and radio as well as the original bootloader if you have any of these problems....but as I've said in other threads....I've flashed 3 phones now with absolutely none of the problems you've mentioned.
In that case could you point me to the best walk through on doing it including what I need (bootloaders etc)? I've seen so many that make it seem like defusing an atomic bomb and then other that just say "run it & git er done' so I don't know which to follow.
Thanks so much

Search my posts. I made a good one step by step last night.
Man you have a ton of posts to search through I think I found the right one.
So you've got MMS working no problem? I use MMS all the time and don't want to loose it like some people have.
Your steps seem to involve already using a cooked ROM are the steps the same for a 'virgin' xv6800?

The only additional step for a virgin xv6800 is that you need to install Olipro 2.40 unlocker first. Be sure to turn off USB in ActiveSync when done and the phone will boot back into the OS. You can then run the Sprint update (DO NOT LET THE SPRINT CUSTOMIZATIONS RUN!) followed by the cooked DCD ROM.
Be sure to check off MMS when cooking the ROM. If you don't see it, DCD left it out and you might have to find the OEM from an older version (it was left out of 3.0.0) My old GF from when I was 14 found me on MS monday and used MMS to send me old pics yesterday....it works. ;D

I have a 'virgin' xv6800 enroute. It should arrive Thursday or Friday. My first task will be to see if I can get GPS working. I'm a veteran Kyocera 6035, then 7135, followed by a Treo 650 but reading about cooking the ROM, etc is truly virgin territory!
Can you post the link to the post you found? Thanks!
I know verizon isn't exactly known for giving it's users new featured readily but my guess on this is they WILL eventually offer an updated patch with this GPS and RevA so they can rent you VZNavigator on a monthly basis.
But expect them to disable normal satellite tracking and limit it to AGPS reception so your forced to use VZNav and not Google Maps!

Pro with the MMS? Maybe you can tell me how to hell to use it. I'd like to look at pictures for more than 5 seconds. It's such a pita to use, maybe I'm just not comfortable with it yet. I hated my last phone, but it was so easy to sent and view MMS messages.
Since you're going from the stock rom, there's a chance you won't be able to place calls after the flash.
Call verizon, tell them you did a hard reset and can't place calls. If they press for answers, make something up... installed a program and the radio went apespit, etc. They'll get you working again.
Over at hofo a user said the tech on the phone asked him if he unlocked the GPS, the caller played stupid, but the tech knew what was up and still helped him out.
SO far so good.
I installed Olipro 2.40.
I then installed the stock Sprint ROM.
I let it run until i aligned the screen and it connected to my computer then I re-set it. I didn't know when it would try to customize my device so maybe I stopped too soon.
I'm not sure what you meant by "manually set it in bootloader" after that and since nothing came up asking to set anything on the reset I continued on to the DCD ROM.
It loaded no problem and everything seems to be working but I just tried a test call after doing *228,1 and it says they can't authenticate my phone.
SO at this point I guess I need to call VZW and get some help right or did I do something wrong

You stopped at the right time.
You will need to let Verizon know that you had to hard reset your phone and need the A Key. They will help you.
Were you following my directions?
OK heres an interesting issue. I have been working on my new rom. Somehow my connection icons got screwed up. I have flashed two older versions of my rom that worked fine and no change. I flashed stock no change. I flashed multiple other chefs roms and no change. Does anyone out there have any brilliant ideas. I thought maybe a bad block but I found no info on using mtty with the raphael.
BTW I am fairly sure this icon originates from largetitlebar.dll
aruppenthal,
Try copying your phcanoverbmp.dll to a different filename, then change the reference of
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="<name of your dll>"
That happened to me when I forgot to cook phcanoverbmp and the icons went ballistic
I am trying that now. I am really baffled as to why that would carry over with flashes
EDIT: That seemed to have fixed it. I still cant understand why a flash would not have reset it.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
Thank you very much for your time and effort in helping make this a great product for our customers.
To obtain a newer release or further information, please revisit the web site that you used your current beta release.
I was using energy rom and i ignored the message that said: the beta will expire in 'x' days. and now the phone is unusable.
I tried to do hard reset but it won't work. it just restarts the phone and the that message appears back on the screen.
Besides crashing the phone to a brick wall at 50mph, is there any way to fix this ?
htc touch pro
sprint
windows 6.5
p.s. phone won't sync with windows mobile device center so i can't reflash the phone.
I am having the same issue as well!!! I was using a clean rom from PPCGeeks and ignored the message and now the phone is practically bricked!!! It isn't being recognized by the pc to even re-flash it!!!
found a thread on flashing the phone without active sync. worth a try
i can't post a link. even though its from xda forum. but u can search how to flash without active sync. it should come up.
Have you tried this? I will try it and post results.
But hard reset didn't work. Hard reset and changing the date, which some other site said fixed it, did not work. And i cannot re-flash without active sync regardless of rom, even if it is stock.
But i will do quick google search on flashing without active sync and see what comes up.
edit:
the only thing i found on google about flashing without active sync was flashing via memory card. This did not work for me, i followed the instructions and put the files on the card but it would never actually load the update. Maybe i am doing it wrong or something.
anyways, i have insurance on the phone, so i am going to take it in for replacement. It already had water damage on it so i will probably break the screen and make up some story about dropping it in a small puddle on cement. I had previously talked to sprint, my carrier, and they said the upgrade for my touch pro is the touch pro 2 as they no longer stock the touch pro and have been out for some time.
ya man. i have the same issue.
i followed instrucitons on flashing via storage card but the load screen never shows up. it just restarts the phone.
i also have sprint as carrier and insurance on phone. i might just go over to the sprint store and get the upgrade if it doesn't cost too much.
I had the same problem, but I was able to re-flash it. Boot to the bootloader, it's the multicolor screen, you can do that by turning the phone off, hit the power button to turn it on. Then hold down the power button & lower volume button. Once you're in the multicolor screen try flashing as usual. Sorry if i'm using wrong terminology.
Totally possible to reflash after timebomb
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that thanks to the help from this site (PPC geeks has been down all night for some reason), I was able to reflash after the may 1st timebomb left my phone all but useless (made a handy flashlight when it was telling me my beta trial was over). EGZTHUNDER1's post forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508084 was very helpful, and I used the sd card method, as activesync would no longer work.
Just wanted to 1) thank everyone on this board for the knowledge and 2) asuage any fears for those of you who procrastinated like me.
ok i'll tell you what worked for me.
hold the power button + vol. down key together and then using the stylus, press and hold the reset button until u see the tri color loader screen.
and then i plugged my phone in with usb . still the mobile device center won't show that there is a connection. but it doesn't matter.
just run the custom rom utility using your fav. rom and it should re-flash the phone.
thanks everyone for your help
p.s. does anyone know why ppcgeeks is down? or when will they be up again? i just found out that i could possibly get android on my touch pro. I found the thread that gives instructions on how to do that but that link points to their site...
I'm having trouble finding any CDMA compatible roms on XDA to use with my Sprint Touch Pro, so I've been forced to revert to Stock from the HTC site for now myself. Was on Raidzero's Baseline Final, which expired today. Hopefully ppcgeeks is back up tomorrow and I can flash to something less terrible. Any recommendations?

Cool, I'll give it a shot. Hopefully I can find one to stick with for a while, because as fun as tinkering is, I just want a decent WinMo 6.5 Sense 2.5 rom that's stable. Raidzero's final rom was pretty much perfect for me aside from it's expiration. Though it got a bit bogged down after a few months use.
I woke up with the same message from my Energy 3/30 ROM. I reflashed again and got the same message. I forced the bootloader screen by pressing Power button / Volume Up button / Press stylus in reset hole and hold until tricolor screen came on.
I just reflashed to a newer Energy ROM / 21932 4/24. Hopefully its stable as the 3/30 build.
Anyone have a CAB file to make the Start button nice? I was using Sharkie405 CAB but the start button was in the bottom left and now its top left. Doesn't seem to work.

I mentioned carrier because the Sprint Touch Pro is different from other Touch Pro iterations. Mighty Rom, NFS fan's ROMs both suffering from 3/30 beta deactivation last I checked. Energy Rom got stuck in a boot loop when I flashed it yesterday. With PPCGeeks down last night, and XDA devs not really having a clear distinction between GSM and CDMA roms in their threads, it was an issue.

WRONG
I don't know where you heard that information, but it is wrong. the sprint is the same as all the rest, with the exception of the Verizon iteration, which is different then all the rest.
XDA definitely has clear distinctions to their roms, they are in different sub-Forums. try looking in Touch Pro CDMA Only CDMA stuff in there.

You don't really need to be a douche about it, but no, the Sprint Touch Pro is physically different from other models, it has a very slightly different form factor and bezel from the AT&T model (screen guards do not fit), and the hardware is worth mentioning because saying Sprint Touch Pro narrows it down quickly for people. Yes it is compatible with any CDMA ROM. Moot point, let it go. The CDMA forum (the one we're IN) has alot of posts, but mostly non-rom related, more about other issues. In fact, at this moment there is not a single ROM thread on the first page.
Anyways, PPCGeeks is back up again, found help in their TP CDMA Upgrade Forum pretty quickly. The criticism was more of a lamentation about the lack of a dedicated ROM forum or a at least tags for CDMA roms in this subforum. I'm using VetVito's rom now, based on recommendations, and happy with it aside from a lack of shortcuts for some of the system settings in the Start Menu.
edit: There's actually a thread about the lack of new roms issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=674029. Slim pickings as far as ROMS for the Touch Pro at XDA is the general consensus.

Yeah I just confirmed it doesn't work. Odd though. DCD has kept that site up for a while. Anyway, here is a link to the carrier files that does work. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=51384
As far as NFS fan's being "stuck" that is just plain wrong. I have been using his rom since it came out. The second to the last release had a time bomb but that has since been fixed. If I'm not mistaken the Energy rom is no longer being developed thanks to the sorry ass TP2. Mighty Rom has no issues either other than the fact that it's "final" release is an outdated OS.
As far as the roms not being technology specific....I have never had that issue here at XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=465 starts with CDMA ONLY roms. I haven't found one NON cdma rom in the bunch. There are a LOT of dumb ass posts about stupid problems that have been addressed at least 100000000000000000000 times and it does in fact take some looking to find the roms. But I have yet to see any GSM roms.
hey guys, i had this exact same BS issue with nfsfans rom. i had to pull the battery, then boot the phone up while holding power+volume down. after it hits bootloader mode, plug it into a computer with activesync(it won't show it making a connection, but it DOES make a difference) then run the new rom flash of your choice.* NOTE: this WILL frag your data. sorry!
thats what worked for me. good luck!
I don’t know if it’s an age thing, as in phone years = two years being geriatric or what but it’s been doing some weird stuff.
Periodically, it’ll crash. The screen will totally freeze with it either on the home screen or a black screen as though it’s switched off. Ho hum, yet another battery pull to rectify it.
It doesn’t like too many text messages so I have to regularly do a bit of housekeeping there. Related to that, typing is starting to irritate me on there. The predictive seems to have a mind of its own and, well, it just winds me up so I end up making calls instead of texting.
Some of my text messages have vanished without me deleting them! I’ve noticed texts can be located in the SIM contact and the phone contact yet strangely my SIM tells me it has no texts. Nevertheless, when I’ve decided to embarked on a housekeeping mission, I learn that messages I intended on keeping have gone before I’ve even started deleting anything!
For a while, the phone also didn’t seem to know where I was. I was and still am in the UK and a few times, it put me in Balkan. That’s great. I’m all for a free holiday but it could have warned me so I could have packed properly!
It likes to use data even when I’m not even touching the phone! Whenever I pick up the phone, I always check next to my network that there is no counter. However, often when I pick it up I can see an hour or two has passed on a counter meaning its gobbling data. What’s spooky about this is that I’m meticulous about switching stuff off that uses data and it still turns itself on! This was the whole reason I didn’t take this phone on holiday last year; I reverted to my LG Renoir because it was safer!
The last thing it’s done, just a few minutes ago is re-start itself! I wasn’t even using it; it was just sat on the table next to me minding its own business and decided to re-start. Why?
After the Balkan incident happened a few times, my Mum said my phone was crazy. I agree with her.
Has anyone else had weird stuff happen on their phones?
If you have not tried it yet I would do a hard reset. Power your HD2 on while holding down both the volume up and down buttons and follow the on screen instructions when the come up.
Also make sure to back all of your personal data up from the HD2 first as this will wipe it clean.

This made me laugh hilariously too by the way.
The earlier roms often exhibited some, all or less of these behaviors. If you are still on a 1.4 rom version, get it updated.

This is something I could try. I’ll get doing a bit of housekeeping first though. Thanks

I’m on the original version that came with the phone. I think that might be 1.43.
When you mentioned a ROM update, I thought
I’m so overwhelmed with the information on this forum. There are so many ROMS it’s hard to know what to pick and I’m seeing far too many posts where people have tried to update and something’s gone wrong.
I just don’t have the level of understanding about phone software to carry this out successfully.
If it were as easy as it is to update my iPod via iTunes, then I’d do it but all this looks way too scary
if you want to keep a stock rom, an update is very easy. and a lot of bugs in the first releases have been fixed.
just go to the website of your carrier and download the rom in the support section. if your phone isn't branded you can download the newest version on the htc website.
if you upgrade your rom you also have to backup all your data, cause it will get lost during the update process.
you can use pim backup for contacts and messages, or just use microsoft myphone.
yea mine was mental on teh original 1.43 too, lots of accidental calls,
to get the update start with htc.com, most of the uk carriers dont bother hosting the updates, htc.com - top right, pick country, then support - select phone - downloads and change teh small dropdown from all to rom upgrade, look for your carrier, , if a rom doesnt accept your serial when you click to download it, it isnt right for your phone, and you maybe have an unbranded, meaning it would take the regular WWE (world wide english) update, in which case try the one that doesnt have a carrier name attached.
once downloaded, read THIS which is linked to from THIS, which is a list of very usefull guides and related posts.
Thank you for all your excellent replies!
I got the latest T-Mobile ROM 3.14.110.1 from HTC website and completed the update following the HSPL installation.
Those links were absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much! I also found it useful watching the Youtube videos that were linked in one of the threads.
I’m currently personalising my phone and I’ve forgotten how to add Bluetooth as a QuickLink. I know it can be done as I saw the solution on here when I first got the phone and did it then so I’m having a look around see if I can find it again.
Oh and what a pleasant surprise being able to watch Youtube on my phone at last! Nice one!
Thank you all ever so much

id recommend you dive straight in and install cookies home tab(CHT) mod and CHT editor. (Link is in the CHT mod thread).
Not only do they make sense wonderfull, but it has built in quicklink assignable toggles for BT, wifi and such.

This is seriously wonderful! Thanks for the sharing this info and the link.
I've put the stuff on this evening and the add ons to get me the bluetooth toggle.
Hi people.
As many Titan owners are facing this memory issue with their phone (phone wont launch apps, acts weird, only option you have is to reboot and hard reset), I am starting a new thread regarding this. The problem is following:
Whenever the phone's RAM gets higher than 75%, it crashes.
This is a hardware issue. Could there be a fix to this?

I am almost 99.9% sure that this cannot be fixed by a person here on XDA. Since this is a hardware issue...you must return it to HTC for a replacement or deal with it the way it is. I have read other threads with you posting this.
I would try at least to get back the OSPL on your phone. If you cannot, just send it in to HTC. My previous phone ... the TouchPro 2 had an HSPL on it when I sent it in for warranty replacement. I got everything back and working again for free.
BUT like I said, you will be waiting for nothing -for this error to be fixed by somebody here on XDA.
Right. Thank you for a very helpful answer!
Well, I find it difficult to get the OSPL back as the goldcard method is the only way that is left. I really do not want to do the goldcard way.
I have warranty for my Phone. Could I just send it in as it is RIGHT NOW? With a custom ROM on it? It is the one by ultrashot.
Thank you for being helpful
To be safe, I would flash the stock ROM at least. It works with HSPL.
But it's not necessary. They probably wouldn't notice, or they would after they send you the replacement phone
Could you post a link to a stock rom that works with HSPL? Then I will flash it, so that I have a stock rom on my HSPL'd phone.
