Today Screen Speed Dial App - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

How is the app that is included in Faria & et al ROM called? One to set speed dial on the today screen
thanks

Personally, I like it. Only thing is that it's too easy to dial and I'm afraid that I'm going to end up making a lot of accidental phone calls, so I've had to turn it off. If there was a way to change it so that it requires a doubletap or better yet a tap and hold to choose dial from the menu then I think I would be able to keep it.

looking for two different cabs

Hello
I am a new owner of an att tilt. I believe it is the same as the tytnII. I am looking for two cabs to install on my phone.
1) a cab that lets me assign a button to switch between vibrate, silent, and ring. I found vibra switch, but it does not include silent.
2) a cab or program that allows me to assign a call log feature to a button. I use the call log quite frequently on my old phone.
Thank you for anyone that can give a newbie a suggestion
Adam
both of those can easily be accessed without cabs.
1- if you have the htc home screen, just press on the symbol that looks like a phone with a music symbol beside it, and it'll give you the option of switching profiles
2- just click the green talk button and then press up on the dpad
want the button press
Thank you for the response.
I have not tried htc homescreen yet. It appears to have a large clock and a tab system of the today screen that I am not fond of. Am I able to leave the today screen basically like it is with that program?
Also I want to be able to map these functions to a button. The reason for this is for easy access while driving. I feel a button press and using the jog wheel is a lot more accurate and requires less attention.
Thank you

Unlock keypad is annoying... like seriously

Everytime I switch on my phone, the keypad locks up. I have to press the "Unlock" menu on the bottom left of the screen and then hit unlock again. I find this to be annoying. Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks a million.
Go to START -> SETTINGS -> PERSONAL -> TODAY -> ITEMS and uncheck "Device Lock" I believe if you don't have it as an item on your today screen, it won't boot up. However, don't take my word for it 100% , I never had this problem.

just tried that. Didnt work. :-(
Any other ideas?
Take a look at your installed programms
Battery Status Includes such an auto keylock
This is why this community is awesome!!
I've been trying to figure this out for days! Thanks a million. It worked!!!!
I ran into this same problem i was about to do something unholy to it! So yes check the battery status plug in..LOL
I use S2U2 for a keyboard lock.. It's nice and pretty, and has some nice previews of upcoming appointments, etc, but it's pretty heavy on ram. But I haven't seen anything as quick to unlock.
CSDEVCTRL by chrisstavrou is a great locking program. It is excellent for in-call locking and temporary unlocking during the call. It locks ALL buttons during a call, unlike many other lockers, so that when you're on a call and your phone is in your holster or pocket, it doesn't hang up by accident.
It has three different ways to unlock the screen: a tapping sequence, slide-to-unlock, and a button sequence. The slide and tap features can also be set to do up to four different things, such as slide-to-unlock, slide-to-hang-up, slide-to-open-speaker, slide-to-go-to-today.
It also offers many small bonuses, like a simple call blocker, bluetooth tweaks, backlight tweaks, and carrier name tweaks.

It's not like S2U2 in the sense that it doesn't have any sort of screen saver or visible skin. When I look at my phone, I see the same thing whether or not it is locked (I use SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, so I see the "Now" screen.)
Just go to the link I posted earlier, and you'll find all the info there!

Long End Key Press Delay

Guys,
Anyone know a way to tweak the time needed for the long press of the end key to take effect and lock the keypad?
At the moment it takes too long holding it down before it kicks in so it would be great to reduce the time and make locking the handset a bit easier.
Thanks
Al
Perhaps have a look in the registry??...i woudlnt know myself which entry it may be but hopefully bumping this up...will get someones attention.
Personally i use my long key press to kill off my data connection...
Also searched for the key in the registry, but i didn't found anything yet..
I have exactly the same wish. Nobody any idea? Com on registry specialists

Is there any other way to lock the keypad apart from the long press?
I'd quite like to change my long press to 'Disconnect Data Connections' - but dont want to lose the ability to lock the keypad.

If you use advanced config and start it up...go into menu and comm settings..you can specify how long your connections stays on till it disconnects automatically. So you can use the button for locking the phone.
Or you could go into your battery settings and under advanced...specify how long you want the phone turned off ie locked if its not being used..goes from 40 secs to 5 mins.
Dont know if that will help but its the only thing i can think of.
I am also searching for a way to shorten the delay for both phone buttons. I would need about half the time...
I have the solution! At least, I'm satisfied with it.
Install AE Button Plus on your machine (http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php). It's not free, but it took away a lot of my annoyances lol.
You can assign multiple functions to any key. The way I've sorted it out now, is that a long press on the disconnect button shows up a TF3D menu, a double press brings up the Start menu and a triple press locks the device. And my triple press is definately faster then pressing it and holding it till it locks lol.

Are we talking about the on/off button on the top of the Diamond here? I only ask because I thought I`d set it to `Disconnect Data Connections` but it still will only turn off the phone.

It's unusualy long delay...
it is really too long. tweak is needed immediateli
c'mon developers run....
+1 same wishes here.
i've set the key to lock phone and it takes toooooo long...
+1 Needed ASAP
There has to be a tweak for this.....
HastaSSSS
I'm giving this a little bump.
It's a WM bad thing, not the only one
Wait for WM7 or install AEButtons

hold time is too long
to lock my diamond I set long press on Lock Device, and create a shortcut under the home touchflo with the path EndKey.exe
it's the better solution I have found to lock the diamond quickly
I hope it's clear....!

Hi guys, i know how to change the soft key on the home screen - but does anyone know if and how you can change it so that the soft key just locks the keypad?
thanks

search the internet for the programm "devicelock.cab". Install this programm and change the function of the left softkey to this devicelock-programm. You find in the tweak-section how to change the softkey.
Hope this helps.
Bye
This small app will lock and turn off your phone. Hope this will help you.
If you press an hold on the 'end call' button it locks the phone.
does the lockandoff program work with diamond ?
dat would be awesome not having to wait for it to timeout after locking the keypad

..yes you are right, but not only the lock function, really useful
i also have a question, once the htc is locked can i still answer my phone call in "locked mode" ?
and ..
why not implement in the setup: lock and turn off htc ?

why you just don't try it?

Because its pretty hard to call yourself to test!?
I tried it and when the phone rings it get's unlocked to be able to touch the screen... This program works exaktly as holding down the End Call button.
why not use S2U2 and link a softkey to ilock ?
Tried S2U2 and it works a bit better... To bad the screenbuttons can't be locked while a caller rings the phone. Want to remove any accidently answering/declining when pulling the phone out of the pocket....
That is an option in S2U2. Its exactly why I use it.
thank you mate
Thanks guys for your answers - those of you who said hold down the end key - i should have said - i do know that you can do that, but it just feels way to long winded and i wanted a 1 button press rather than holding the phone for about 5 seconds to lock it. Ive been using the lockandoff.exe, i like it. my only problem is, its starting to bug me that the light is always dim when the phone is locked - i have tried changing this with Advanced Config but it sticks and doesnt work. any guesses?
S2U2 is far and away the best and most comfortable locking solution for wm. in my opinion.
when i lock my HTC with devicelock and a call is coming in it will "UNLOCK" my HTC. I would prefere my HTC will keep locked until i unlock it
what do you think ? can the developer implement / change devicelock or maybe at least let the user choose if he want unlock the phone when a call is coming in or not. It happen already, when my HTC is in my poket and i rush to answer i press the wrong button and maybe close the call
A question: i set my devicelock to lock my HTC when i hold down the Phone OFF key. How to enter devicelock.cab settings if i want to change parameters? default i can enter settings by hold down the Phone OFF key, after i changed i don't know how
I also tried to uninstall devicelock with HTC software remove, it say ...removed but it is still inside because i still can use the"unlock" function. I don't know how to uninstall .....

How to enable backlight in phone mode?

I've searched the threads trying to find a setting that would allow the backlight to be on while making a call on the diamond.
I adjusted the backlight to two minutes but after making the call the screen goes off and if I need to input other number during the call I have to press the power button to get the screen back, is there anyway I can delay the screen for longer? It is a pain when you have to call say, customer service and enter a few options before getting to the right department.
Install http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413798 or DiamondTweak which has the option to disable it.
Thank you so much for that info. I installed the Diamond Tweak and it is already doing wonders on my Diamond. Thanks again!!
