Oh knowledgable HTC folk,
I'm sure I've seen something on this but multiple searches have found nothing ...
I've uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus 4 (I have a registered 3 but was trying 4) and I've lost the HTC close/menu button on the top right of the home screen. Now, the close button only minimises apps rather than closes them fully.
How do I get this button / feature back ... please ...
And an early "Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year" to all,
Gary.
Unfortunately I had it as well and had to do a Hard Reset

cr*p, I've really tried to avoid this since getting my device about a month ago... Would I be able to backup/restore everything to current state or would it result in the same thing (I presume the worst but just asking)?
Oh, well: I guess it will give me an excuse to load one of the great new ROM's out there. I was hoping to wait for an update with the video drivers first though...
All you have to do is go to the Pocket Plus options screen & uncheck the close button option.

Do you mean I should reinstall PP and then go to the options screen ... ?
Gary.
First go into settings > system > task manager (if it's there) and try to turn on the close button feature. If it's not there, then follow below:
Reinstall of PP4 may or may not work now that you've uninstalled PP4, but it's worth a try.
Also, if you want the HTC task manager back, you can get it here in cab form and it will work fine once installed.

You're a GENIUS - I've just reinstalled the Task cab from the collection here and it seems to be back to normal
Big thanks,

Which task manager cab?
Which task manager cab did you install; there are two but no note about the difference between them. Thanks.
Here's the lastest version that I've been able to find and it works good....

Actually, it was late and the only one I saw when looking quickly through was wktask1_1170 (in the cab collection). I guess this is the OEM version(?).
Is there any advantage for me uninstalling this and installing the latest version (presumably a local customised version)?
Regards,
Gary.

that's not the HTC tassk manager, that is a totally different task manager.

Interesting ....
It did exactly what I expected and what was on the phone in the first place (tiny drop down menu top right corner of today screen, properly closes programs, etc.)
Having said that, I've just checked my "Remove Programs" list and indeed, it says "waku WkTASK"; doesn't sound very OEM to me. Does work correctly though.
Is there any advantage to the other Task Managers that have been mentioned?
Regards,
Gary.

no, actually wktask has more functionality, maybe too much. Are you using a custom ROM? I ask because wktask doesn't come standard in the OEM ROMs.
The HTC version is just a task manager. You can find a screenshot here:

No, I'm just using the standard ROM that came with the phone. For the task manager, I just went to the directory here and picked the first file that I saw with "Task" in the title ....
I confirm again: it does work though
I am thinking about a custom ROM but am 1> fairly confused about the range out there and b> am waiting for a critical benefit such as the new video drivers.
Regards,
Gary.
well no rom is going to have video drivers, at least for now. that would have to come from HTC.
as for which rom to choose, Dutty's are some of the best. Which ever one you choose, make sure to research these forums to get other people's opinions first.
I can't figure this out for some reason! It was an easy option on the AT&T Rom inside of the control panel, but no on this dutty rom
Thanks for any help

delete everything in HKLM\Software\HTC\SlidingSound

That will seal the deal alright but worky if he for some reason wants it back on, then its bether to use the configurator who does it for you. But yeh, that will silence the sliding sound.
Dutty also have a cab, search for it. I think its called duttys sliding sound fix cab.

Hello,
Before my Diamond I had a Motorola v3 Razr. The Razr did give a sms notification every minute or so. When I received a sms, it gives notifications until i read the SMS. The Diamond only flashes the led light. Is it possible to let the Diamond vibrate every 3 minutes or so when there is an unread SMS?
Thnx in advance
Anybody an idear?
settings/personal/sound and notifications/sound (events and notifications on)
settings/personal/sound and notifications/notifications (go look for mms/sms, check "play sound", check "display message on screen", check "vibrate" or choose any combination).
now say thank you and go ...RTFM! (Read The F... Manual) before you post.
i also recommend a search on the forum. don't be lazy...

A bit rude and not even an answer for his question......
He is looking for REPEATED notifications......something SPBPhoneSuite can do for example. There may be other programs out there for the same purpose, don´t know of any freeware, though....

1. sorry you think so. don't get it ...what's rude? my 2 last recommendations?
2. the notification stays on the screen until you dismiss it, so why repeat? as a matter of fact i am not so sure it is not repeating...
i do know for sure that reminders do repeat so i can guess that all notifications are repeating.
i think he is looking for repeated sound notifications.
I'm very sorry when i offended some of you with my question, but the last post sums it all up. I'm looking for a repeating sound/vibration notification. I will try SPBPhoneSuite, but i'm not font on installing an whole " heavy" program for such small things. So when there is an alternative...please let me know
http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=368137Kukuriku - arrogance and rudeness are sometimes difficult to distinguish, but both are bad.
I did a freeware solution - DmsisAlert
Hi, i did a simple application that works on Windows Mobile 5 or superior (.Net CF 3.5 is a requirement).
To download go to DmsisAlert page and click on DmsisAlert link, unzip, tranfer the .cab file and install. If you like (or not), i will appreciate some feedback (you can do that on download page).
With Diamond is a good idea not to use the minimize functionality because after that there is no way to get interface back (allthough it still running on the background). I will work on a solution for that (i'm busy enjoying my new phone ).
hope that can help, helps me a lot

It ain't freeware, but its light and does the job perfectly every time.
I did use SPB phonesuite before, and I found it heavy with other features I don't need. Also, the damn thing didn't work at times!

and free, always check the 'Development and Hacking' forum
@dmoreira: What requirement can that be? I have an stock diamond, with latest romupdate en .Net CF 3.5?
@MasK: That's i very nice program. I tested it, and it does the job except for the vibrating!
@badaas: That's another very nice program. I also tested this one and it works perfect. Except that it turns on the screen with every reminder... And you have to reboot the device to configurate it again...

Ok it works just fine! Very nice program! But if i can say 3 things about it:
- The minimize function still doesn't work to well
- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way
- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?
thnx!

before anything thanks for trying my work... about your comments:
"- The minimize function still doesn't work to well" : You're correct, but in others devices without TouchFlo3D the minimize works a lot better. With TouchFlo3D this feature practically doen'st work (i believe that's the same for other applications that have a minimize function that puts an Icon in the Today Screen).
"- You cannot delete the program via the "delete programs" way": A fix for that will be available very soon
"- I really like the phone to not only notify me via sound, but also via vibration? Is this possible?": It's possible but i dont like the result of doing this with the easiest way, so this feature will be available not so soon (but i will adivise here when so).
I will make some changes and post here a new version with some improvements.
Thanks again for trying.

I like testing this program, because it meets almost my exact criteria for such a program! Nice work!
- That minimize function is a pity, but understandable with the TF3D thing!
- Ok if you can fix that 'delete programs' issue, that would be very nice. I don't have a clue how i can properly delete it now!
- I will wait on a fix for the vibrating! That would be very nice!
Keep up the good work!
Thnx!

Hi Rik_X, after a lot of work (i posted the issue in different forums, but got no answer) trying finding a correct solution to uninstall and i ended downloading SkTools (i downloaded from here http://www.clickapps.com/download.htm?pvid=1324) and use a feature called Installed Programs and then Dmsis Alert was listed and i was able to uninstall it!! After that i install the version attached here and then the Dmsis Alert will appear again in the Windows Mobile Remove Program list. Sorry about the troubles that error could cause you.
Anyway i'm posting the last version the doesn't have this uninstall issue. I'm also working on the vibrate feature (still looking a direct interop way to do that).
Hi Guys & Gals:
Have you found there is no paste menu item on phone dialpad?!
Please if you found it, tell me how, cause it too much difficult to use. thank u!!!
Errr there is on mine (tlr 3 rom), if you have already copied something (a number i am assuming) then go to 'phone' and click menu (bottom right), then click 'paste', it is like the 7th option on that menu... what's the problem? maybe I misunderstood your issue...
hi man:
no, actually even i copied something like a phone number, this item still not exists. my rom version is 1.35.707.3 WWE, it's official.

Why don't try so:
1) select with the stylus what you need
2)push the stylus over there(it will appears a menu with copy option)
3)tap on copy
4)go to the application in wich you want paste it and simply re-push the stylus
5)it will appears the paste option...done
Edit:excuse me, i didn't read the title(No paste menu item on phone dialpad )sure you know my option.Sorry
Nevermind, but no one got idea?

Hm... nobody seems to get it - What Nuclear says is that there is no PASTE option in the phone keypad view. Used to be there on my TyTN, now it's gone!! Anybody know how to get it back?
I re-raised this issue here yesterday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407216
It seems to have been an issue with the Diamond from the start, but no one seems to know how to enable pasting directly onto the dialer.
I think it's time HTC addressed this, as in my book it's a serious ommission.
I'm interested in a quick straw poll of Diamond users out there for whom this is an important issue?
If there's enough response, perhaps we can bring it to the attention of HTC.

Phone -> Menu -> Paste doesn't exist!
Perhaps the ROM you're using has the paste as an option here?
Perhaps also this is the reason that more of you aren't jumping up and down over this as it's perhaps ok on some versions. I've got a UK Orange with 1.37.405.1 WWE, and the more I hit times I need this feature the more wound up I'm getting about it.
I also don't have that option on my UK Orange Diamond, not really had to use it though.
It would seem that it has been fixed in .93; could some of you with standard .93 confirm this for sure?
If confirmed, it'll spur me on to flash an upgrade. Also if confirmed, could any of the more technically minded work out if it's a registry tweak, or a software re-write/upgrade.
TIA

Official vodafone UK 1.93.161.2 upgrade had the PASTE in the menu.
Previous 1.37.161.2 did not have it.
It may be due to HTC phone skin? Newer version has the menu option. Older version does not.
OR, may be due to code base 1.93.xxx.x has the option and previous code bases don't?
??
Thanks, mystery solved. So paste was obviously added as an option in the menu to .93. I can feel an upgrade coming on... just need some time to fit it in.

[Q] Paste in dialer
No, i haven't put shoe shine between my hardware keys.
What I really would like to find out is whether anyone has adressed the COMPLETELY INEXPLICABLE lack of a paste menu item in the dialer context menu? This is such a basic feature I can't believe they left it out!
Saw this issue in a search but there was never any conclusion.
Is this perhaps adressed in any ROMs?
Is there a registry setting?
Anyone?
Did you not read what's been just posted above?
Upgrade your rom to a 1.93 variant, and you should have it.

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.
Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?
thanks man it helped
