Default for mail inbox when pressing message icon

Hello
I have 2 little questions that bug me a little bit and which i cant find a solution for (and yes i know where the search button is located ).
Situation 1
When im at the today screen (http://www.cryptex.be/tytn2.jpg) and i press the sms icon (the one in the middle under my clock), it goes directly to the inbox of my sms messages, which is great.
Now when i press the email messages icon (the one on the left under my clock), it doesnt go to the inbox of my emails (which i would like it to do). Instead it shows the menu SMS/MMS - Email example - "my emailaccount" - New email account. So i always have to press "my emailaccount" to go to my inbox. In the options menu i already disabled the option "show account chooser when opening messages" but then i always get redirected to the inbox of my SMS messages.
So in a nutshell, i would like it to go to the appropriate inbox when selecting the icons on the today screen:
- SMS inbox when i press sms icon (which already works)
- mail inbox when i press mail icon (which doesnt work atm)
then question nr2
When im calling the screen always, disables within like 10sec or less, which is very annoying when calling your voicemail and you have to press some numeric options. I always have to turn the screen on.
Maybe someone can point me how i can keep the screen enabled ?

I solved my problems now. By searching in the registry and then hitting the words in the seach option on this forum, i found a solution to both of my problems
I've made myself a little textfile where i keep my registry tweaks now
Its very hard to look for something on forums when you dont know what you actually are looking for, so for those who also want the solution for my 2 problems:
Code:
- Launch the e-mail inbox instead of the account chooser when clicking the mail icon
* Make sure the "E-Mail Sample" account is deleted out of your accounts.
* Make sure Outlook is set up to check your mail (only if using Outlook).
* Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Home\AlwaysOpenMailFolder
from "1" to "0".

Code:
- Prevent Screen Going Off Durning a Call
* Edit the registry key HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0".

PS: my respect for all the people on the forum putting time and effort to make it possible to do all of this

I wonder if these tweaks could make their way into the next upgrade of Kaiser Tweak? I'm sure many people will find them both really useful.

Woops, I've just noticed my device doesn't have a Home folder under HTCHome.
I've done a search for "AlwaysOpenMailFolder" which I don't see to have anywhere else in the registry either.
Should I create the \Home\AlwaysOpenMailFolder key and then set the value? What sort of key is it (e.g. binary, string, dword)?
Many thanks

Try this and see if that works

That seems to refer to the HTC Touch app, which I don't have installed.

Just a quick note of thanks for taking the time to document the solutions that you found. I see too many threads where someone tracks down their own fix but they don't take the time to share it for posterity.

1) It should point to the last one you have used. Or view the list of email accounts and the one with the * beside it will be the one that loads up when you click the email icon on home screen. Also make sure you have unchecked the option taht says somethign about showing a list of email accounts.
2) what?
3) What buttons, the actionscreen ones? You will have to use the search function or google it, the answer is around here somewhere. Have to do some reg key editing (not hard). Search for "changing htcactionscreen links" or something. I am to lazy to find it for you.

umm u confused me...
I got the HTC Home plugin, the one with the big digital clock.. When I hit email button it goes to Email Sample... I want it to go to my Outlook/Exchange email
to #2, the HTC Cube, the rotating application, I want to add the HTCActionScreen program as one of those slides
and again, in HTCActionScreen, email goes to Email sample, not my Outlook Exchange account

HTC Home open blank sms?

I was wondering if someone could help out here. I finally put HTC home on my Tilt and love it, but... I do a lot of SMS messaging, and I cant seem to find a shortcut/optioon from the home screen straight to composing a new SMS like there is in the At&T HTC plugin. Its a pain in the ass to have to go to messaging, then select new, sms.
Thanks...

there are apps that enable this kind of things.
i would recommend "HTC action screen". it has lots of "new" options (sms, task, appointment,...). you can find cab for this here on forums. after you install this you should assign this app to some hardware button for quick and easy access.

Thanks man. I was kinda hoping to find a way to map it to the PTT button or one of the HTC home tabs...I really didnt want to run an app just to do that but I will give it a look.
Thanks again!

There are plenty of programs that let you change soft key settings, search around. Also a bunch of threads that explain how to set up a shortcut to the new SMS screen, which you can then set to a soft key.

HTC Action Screen is just simple app which pops up dialog with "new" options. if you don't select anything it will auto close in few seconds.
another thing is that if you send messages to people in your contact list, it is much easier to use some contact manager to do that than "new sms" option. i use Finger Friendly Friends, but this is not free. with FFF i'm able to find desired contact and make some action (send mail, sms, mms, call home, mobile...) in few seconds without using stylus.
but if you really need only "new sms" option, kmorris89 is right, just remap one of softkeys to do that. you will find info on softkey remaping here on xda.

Remapping Button for Text Message Launch?

I thought I would be able to find this, but the last hour of searching hasn't produced what I'm specifically looking for. Forgive me if I simply looked in the wrong place.
I'm in the US. The AT&T factory ROM comes with the HTC Home that you can drop on your today screen. One of the options launches you straight into the text message author screen.
I have already re-mapped the retarded PTT to launch Google Maps, which was cake, but try as I may, I can't remap the mail button (or any button) to author a text message.
I wouldn't mind making this a cube function if I can't make it a button function. I'm trying to save "today" space.
Thank you kindly for any time you can give me!

For me I put Google Maps on the apps screen, installed HTC Action screen and mapped that to the PTT button. I figure what do I do more, use google maps or compose text messages...Works like a champ and 2 quick button pushes and im writing a text.

I was hoping the outlook mail client executable would take some sort of an arguement to launch the compose text screen. I could then map that link to a button.
I didn't know about HTC Action. I'll give this a shot.
Thank you kindly for your time!

How do I stop accidental email sending

When I'm compiling emails on my TyTN II, I find that often my email will be unintentionally sent when I'm only part way through due to a keyboard combination being used. Section 7.7 of the TyTN II user manual (page 134) refers to keyboard shortcuts and mentions holding down the S key is a shortcut to send the message but as in this (much) earlier thread I found relating to Accidentally pressing keyboard shortcut to send SMS, it refers to SMS sending and I'm having the issue with email. Is this pressing the softkey still the cause (I'm pretty sure it seems more like pressing a combination of keys around the S that are doing it in my case). More importantly, has anyone found a Cab, fix or even a WWE HTC ROM to stop this happening?
It's very annoying and I would have though some solution must have been found by now. I'll mention it in a letter to HTC but based on their past 'performance', I don't hold out much hope of a quick (or even eventual) fix from them. I'm therefore hoping for a solution from forum members so please let me know.

For me, its happened when i accidentally hit the send soft key between the R and T. I know its pretty bad sending half an uneditted email to a client and then having to send another email explaining why it happened and carrying on from there.. very unproffesional.
My solution to this problem is to simply cut and past the recipients email address from the to field to the subject field. Then once i'm done editing and everythings squared off and ready to go, i'll just cut and paste from the subject field back into the to field.
hope this little work around helps you. As for a hotfix or a confirmation message before sending it, i haven't heard of one.

I press that goddamn softkey all the time.....
It is really embarassing when you send a message half complete!
Good tip about the subject line

AEBPlus
I use AE Button Plus and have set the soft keys to ignore a single press. If I need to access the single-press application, then I just need to press on the screen.

Thanks for that work-around, that'll certainly do the trick if I remember to blank the 'to' field before creating the email. I've also emailed the AE Button Plus email address to see if they are willing to make a version of the product that works just with the TyTN IIs email and SMS program when thats in operation. I've also unticked the 'send messages immediately' box in my Windows Live Options on the TyTN II (since I use my Hotmail account through this device). I've found that this puts my email into the drafts folder and it's only when I then send the draft that it actually leaves - it's a bit of a pain though given keyboard short cuts are supposed to help rather than hinder.Definitely one for HTC and Microsoft to address.
