Strange MMI sequences? Help! - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This is not a root specific issue, as this was happening before I rooted, but I've asked everywhere and can't get so much as a response, so I'm trying here....
Ever since a few days ago, when I'm on a call, if I bring up the touch-keypad, hit the number 1 and then slide the keypad away, I get a message "Starting MMI sequence" and the call disconnects. This does not happen when I press the actual keypad soft-button to get the keypad to disappear, it only happens when I swipe it down and away. It runs other MMI Sequences, depending on which key I press (2 and swipe away gives me a dial tone, 3 and swipe away gives me a popup that says "unable to conference calls". The reason I stumbled on this was because in order to screen my Google Voice calls, I need to press 1 to accept or 2 to send to voicemail. But, if I press 1 to accept and then swipe-away the keypad, it runs the MMI sequence and disconnects.
Does this happen for anyone else?? Or does anyone have thoughts on how to stop it?
I really appreciate any help at all.... I'm totally baffled by this! Thank you!!

I wiped the phone with the stock RUU and did a hard reset as well, also updated to the latest MR and none of these things have stopped the phone from running MMI sequences when pressing a key and swiping away the keypad during a call.
Any thoughts on why it is doing this?

Problem with Phone App

Well I've had my Tilt for a week now and I have been frustrated completely with the Phone App.
First of all, when I am calling a tone prompted location where you have to press the keys to get somewhere (611, corporate voicemail, etc), some of the time the phone will go into "hold" when i press the keys.
Secondly, after a call that i have pressed the keys for tone operation, the phone app will not completely close. the screen will stay half dim and the start bar and task panes are locked out. i can't access any of the icons at the top of the screen. the only button available is the task manager which shows no programs running.
i can pretty much replicate the 2nd problem consistently. does anyone else have this problem? Please try to call into a company say even 611, go through all the tone prompts and see if the phone app closes appropriately afterwards. make sure you are on the phone long enough for the screen to automatically dim.
the only way for me to get past this is to softboot so i can get access to the start menu again. but i'd rather not have to softboot after every phone call =T
Thanks!
Same problem here, any help would be great.

disable the lock thing where you have to enter a pin - i think its a bug in the rom
Same problem - but if press the on/off button for the screen twice I do have again access to all icons. Not nice but ....
yeah i was messing around with the phone last night and realized that it has to do with phone lock and figured out if you press the power button to put it to sleep and press it again to wake it up, everything is normal again. it was just a fluke how i found out but i'm glad to know that this isn't only my problem. i was about to do another hard reset on the phone.
i called ATT techsupport and they told me it might be the simcard. can other Tilt owners chime in here. is this a ROM problem or could it be related to a faulty sim?

Unable to change screen when in call / after call end

I've got this issue and its driving my users nuts.
When your in a call, you cannot press the start key, or tap the start menu with the pen, you can minimise the call screen if you turn the device off and on in call, but you cant access the start menu. Also, once you've ended the call, you have to turn the device on and off a couple of times before you can use the start menu.
All devices are using the vanilla HTC ROM.
Any ideas how to fix it?

it doesn't help you, i suppose - but for reference this works fine on the TyTn II with vodafone UK ROM

Vibrate for text message?

I'm maybe just being stupid - but I can't get my diamond to vibrate when I get a text. I think I've set it correct, but its not working.
Using TouchFlo - I go into "Settings", then "Sound".
I press "Advanced", and then choose the "Notifications" tab.
From the "Event" drop down list I select "Messaging: new Text Message"
Then I tick the "Vibrate" box.
Is there something else I need to do?!
BTW - my ROM version is 1.37 if thats relevant
If you mean that your phone should 'wake up' and vibrate when you receive an SMS, then have a look at the 3rd point from the link below:

If it won't vibrate at all, and only will make a sound I don't know the answer. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately it won't vibrate at all on receiving an SMS.
Even if the phone is awake and I get a message it does nothing apart from a little green 1 appears on the messaging icon - and the directional pad light flashes.
The other thing I've noticed when testing this is that the phone takes about 5 seconds to actually start 'ringing' when getting a call!

Yep ive noticed that on mine as well...im running 1.37 rom uk spec diamond and it takes a good few seconds before my phone will ring when i have an incoming call. Annoying but liveable i guess..also my phone wont vibrate either when receiving a text as well...just get the alert and notification.

Mmm, bummer... Just tested it with my phone. I previously used the 'wake on SMS' edit, and now selected 'vibrate' and unchecked the sound alert for Messaging: New text message. It worked like a charm.

Same here, even with my previous HTC Wizard. I guess it has to do with WM devices in general!?
Hmmm... now I've just realised that my phone doesnt chime or anything when I get a text - despite me having a tone set.
I tried a soft reset - but this did nothing. I dont really want to try a hard reset as I will lose all my proggies etc.
I've maybe give the tweak above a try!
I've tried the above tweak, but I'm still having no success.
I'm getting absolutely no alert at all when i get a text message. With the tweak, the phone comes out of standby and the screen displays the message - but it won't chime or vibrate at all.
Any ideas?
A phone that won't alert me of a text is no use as most of my communication is through texting!
Finally resorted to a hard reset - which solved the problem.
Spent the last few hours reinstalling everything!!
Now time to make a sprite backup whilst I have everything sorted!

my diamond wont ring unknown numbers

Hi everyone im new here awesome site. My question is when ever i dial in an unknown number it says dialing then just goes back to the recent dialed numbers list but if u save that number in contacts and then dial it will start ringing/connect straight away surely this isnt normal because it would be a pain to save every number u dial into your contacts anyone know why it does this thank you in advance. by the way it is stock with the factory 1.93 rom please help
can anyone help me with this please very much appreciated
has know one else got this problem? please someone help me out have tryed searching but there is nothing on this
Have you blocked unknown numbers in call barring ??
thats Phone> Options>Services>Call Barring ????
i went into call barring get settings and Block incoming calls is Off and Block outgoing calls is Off to is that what they should be?? thanks for the reply much appreciated
I've been having a similar problem for at least a month. I go to the phone screen, type in the "unknown" phone number, hit the "Talk" key on the lower left, and it goes back to the Home screen. The "Talk" key does not dial the "unknown" number for me. It seems that it will not dial a number that is not in my "Contacts". Sometimes the "Talk" key will bring up the phone screen and other times it won't? I've even used my stylus = same issues.
However I accidentally discovered that if I touched the "Navigation Control" button, then the number would dial. This is very strange, and someone on another forum said that this is not normal. That said however, I am beginning to like being able to dial from the "Navigation Control" button rather than the "Talk" key.
I have not changed any settings to block anything on the device, but mine sounds similar to what you are experiencing.
I have the exact same problem!!! Can someone help us?
LE: ok i got it solved, my ring tone level was zero when going into HTC volume control even though system sounds was max.

That pop up will come but i can't select any message. it won't allow me to touch anthing. its like touchscreen is not responding. I have rooted with vroot. anyone facing similar issue?
