Annoying SMS Problem!

I had this problem on my 8525 after flashing one of many ROM's and now have it on my Tilt with stock ROM. When sending a new sms or replying to one, the screen defaults below the address part onto the bottom of the text portion of the screen. I know this is a reg hack that is needed, but for the life of me I can not find it in a search. This was a common problem on the 8525's after a certain ROM upgrade if anyone remembers.

you mean where it cuts off the person's info you are replying to?

Yeah its annoying!

Doesn't cut it out, but when you open the window to reply, it defaults to only showing the text area, and uses the bottom part of the screen as the point that it sets to show. Thus, the top part of the text reply window is off the screen.
And yes, it is very annoying. I gotta find the reg hack to fix this!

As I recall it happens when the reg is set to use the right and left nav buttons to page down when using IE, it causes the sms to open at the bottom of the screen and you have to scroll back.

This question was asked by another Kaiser user.....guess you guys have all been busy flashing ROMs
The answer IS a reg hack, and here's a link to the reply I posted - the OP hasn't responded to say whether the problem is now cured, but if it's the same issue I experienced on my Hermes, the above answer will work.
Post back....I'd like to know if it works (I'll be getting my Kaiser next month, so this will be something to add to the "Tips and Tricks" document I'm compiling from everyone else's posts )
Cheers,
Mark.

My reg value is already set to 1 in this file. So, only option, set to 0 and lets see what happens!

Was just skimming through some threads and stumbled upon this. That problem was driving me crazy but i hadn't gotten to the point of searching for a solution yet.
This worked for me on my Hermes.
Thanks ^_^

Are you referring to the hack listed in the response above? Because on the Tytn II this value is already set as stated in that thread.

No this is not the same issue the Hermes had when you set the D pad to scroll in IE that issue was the "text curser" would be all the way at the bottom of a screen no matter what cutting off half of emails and what ever else text was sent to you. there is nothing to fix this issue as of now. BUT when I compose a new SMS it ALWAYS starts at the address line not sure why your don't

Doug,
Thanks a bunch for this tip! I was wondering the other day if it was possible to silence that annoying sound. Much appreciated!
Thanks.

Didn't someone make a thread... and a MOD made it a STICKY just for ATT TILT NEWBIES? I know pressing a search button and typing a key word into a box is difficult, but there is also a sticky just FOR YOU.
I think you should have to take some type of IQ test before having a TILT.
(This is actually more of a universal question, but...) How do I disable the annoying ass AT&T animation at startup?
You need a mobile registry editor to do this:
go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation
just set the "enabled" value to 0 and that will get rid of THE most annoying startup animation/sound ever (thanks to myself)

Some of you are a bit harsh. This is a forum and it is here for a purpose; supposedly for seeking help.
Thanks Doug - I didn't know about that tweak either.
For those who use KaiserTweak you can add this to your XML file instead of using a registry editor:
<tweak>
<title>ATT Startup Animation</title>
<value disabled="disabled" advised="advised" value="0">Disabled</value>
<value default="default" value="1">Enabled</value>
<key>HKLM\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled</key>
<description>Enable or disable the ATT startup animation.</description>
</tweak>

Hide contacts from Sim

Proabably an easy one this but I cant find a setting anywhere to hide contacts that are on the SIM card. My old Hermes would only show contacts from the device unless you used the sim browser of course. The Kaiser (at least on both ROMs I have tried) shows the contacts from memory and from the Sim, which not only slows the device down, its mighty annoying too! Thanks for any help...

Use KaiserTweak to do that and much more than that.
Do search for "KaiserTweak" or find the sticky in the same forum u posted in.

If you had searched, you would've found this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334702 and KaiserSimFix.cab.

yessir you would have had your answer faster then you could have posted the question.

this is a good answer.
Actually, you can use "Pocket Toolman" a very small freeware with than option, plus an option to have Wifi and Bluetooth toggle in system tray

I installed Duttys 6.1 ROM and found a setting in there to do it under AdvancedConfig.

SIM Manager and SIM Contacts

Hi All
In my contacts lists I have the windows contacts and the SIM contacts, all there to confuse me.
is there anyway i can only show the windows / outlook contacts when accessing the contacts on my phone ? I dont really want to delete the SIM contacts as I use them in another phone occasionally
Any ideas ?
Cheers

one idea for you, SEARCH
The answer is easy to find. You gotta work for your knowledge on this site.

waste of post instead of helping...i guess so is mine but i would help if i knew or not post at all..

well documented that setting must be cooked into a Rom. If you simply toggle the Registry Key it will reset itself!

Kaiser tweak setting does it for me when advanced cong did not work.

Reboot, many reports that it doesn't survive a soft reset/power-down & up.

It has worked for me when I have reboot numerious times, after flashing 3 different roms L26, Dutty's and others. Some of the programs I use require soft resets after installation. I usually have to got through at least 4 resets to get my programs and tweaks installed properly.

Nice Answer and terribly helpful that.
I did infact try a search which brought little that would help other than a hundred or so posts containing the odd word.
Please stop having a go at those who want some seemingly simple help advice. If you know it GIVE IT.....
I use a range of different forums and all have been great to use with a wealth of information to help and guide us mortals out of a hole as well as offering info on how to make the best of things. These forums are backed up by some pretty knowledgeable folk. This is one of the best I've used.
However its also one of few forums where some of its members who deem themselves as gods regularly seem to want pound those who simply want some help.
I often read posts on here where people have asked a pretty simple question and got berrated for it. All they get as a response is '...SEARCH..SEARCH...SEARCH......SEARCH.... ' JUST HELP for godsake
C'mon man, theres soooo much info on here ,IT CAN BE hard to search for the right answer especially if the correct search terms or keywords arent being used, it can become frustrating for anyone seeking help and therefor easier just to create a new post. No ones fault just the sign of a great forum.
Please though....have patience and offer help. We're not all gods
Cheers

use the file under my attachment. it will hide ur sim contacts and it will survive soft resets/power down. This cab was posted under L26's V9 thread.

Glad you found it ssunstone. Some people in these forums can be really anal about giving out info and get off on telling them to search. Sometimes its valid but I see many times when it isnt.
I agree for new users to the site it can be incredibly confusing due to the shear volume of info and threads, added to this is the fear that doing something wrong may brick your expensive device its no wonder that people ask for conformation.

ATT Notify Message

I have two tilts one is my main tilt, on a full service plan,
the other is phone on the side, and I use the pay as you go, I only use the unlimited Text,video and mms feature. Well so my plan is unlimited.
So i was wondering if there was any way to turn off or change the ATT notify alert, every time I send a text it chimes and every time i receive a text it chimes twice once for the message and once to tell me how much i have left on my account, in which I don't need a stupid message because mine's unlimited. So is there a way i can turn it off or change the tone, maybe something in the registry or something ? thanks for your help in advance.
