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

WinMo 6.1 HTC Smart Dialer Help

Need some help or advise on a missing feature on 6.1 standard smart dialer that existed on 6.0.
On 6.0 once you search for a contact using the smart dialer if you press down the on the d-pad it will not dial the contact but will open up the contact so you can email or txt pretty quickly. That was way faster than opening up contacts and searching for someone. If you wanted to call just had to press the SEND button.
But on 6.1 when you press the d-pad down it simply dials and the only way to txt is to touch and hold on the search result and even then it will only allow you to text but not email.
I was wondering whether there's a reg hack to get this feature enabled on the new 6.1 smart dialer.

just d-pad down to the contact and d-pad right until u see txt

Thanks for the quick reply but D-Pad left or right will only cycle through the numbers nothing else

hmm are u sure...i'm not doubting just tryin to help
but for me lets say i have a mobile and home number for a contact i just highlight it and on the right it shows m for mobile..i d-pad right to h for home and again to txt if i wanna text the contact

I know you are and thank you
I am quite confused now because I had the same feature (D-Pad right to text and hold down to open contact) on 6.0 are you also using 6.1 and the same dialer build?

i'm using winmo 6.1 i'm trying to find out what build i'm using

Same problem here. With WM6.0 you only have to press the d-pad to open the contact. Once you opened, i got the chance to send sms, send e-mail or make a call. With WM6.1 this ist missing! I think this is probably only a value i have to change in the registry, but where?

If you use the original WM6.1 dialer instead of the Touch dialer it will do exactly what you are looking for.
For some reason when I press the down on my d-pad with the Touch dialer it opens up the last call list, and does not scroll through the contacts list.
I see your in CA so video dial is not really a possibility anyways. If you have KaiserTweak or Shap's Advance Config, set your dialer skin to the WM6.1 dialer instead and see if this fixes your problem.

I flashed the original HTC WM6.1 Rom, and yes, the original WM6.1 Dialer works how i want. But this doesn't look really great, does it?

I am now using DxC dialer with smart dial patch and is working great. Only thing missing is the smart dial in landscape mode. This one is way faster but still miss the HTC dialer :-(

It is only a little vaue in the registry, can't nobody help?

Nobody out there who can solve this problem ?
Perhaps somebody can upload the smart dialer exe file from the oroginal WM6.0 Rom? I would be glad, thx !!

Can please, somebody with WM6.0, look up in his registry an tell me the value's for Smart Dialer ? So i can compare the two version with each other. THX

Push,
something new?

Quick access to SMS?

Hi!
I'm quite desperate. I'd like to start SMS on my Kaiser with one or two clicks. So please recommend me how to make my SMS box the default message box (I'm not using MMS, who does anyway... I mean SMS are so much more popular) and/or direct "Compose a new SMS" or so. I also use HTC Home. Ideally I'd like to add a button in HTC Home which would directly open a new SMS (not MMS).
And yes, I did use Google "site:forum.xda-developers.com Kaiser SMS" + various combinations of words "default", "folder", "quick", "fast", "button", "MMS"...
I also tried several registry and other things tweakers.
Thanks
Btw, if you could recommend an application for quick taking notes, something like primitive drawing or so... PhatPad maybe?

um htc home (with the big clock) has it with one click..

I don't really understand your request, but this might be what your after? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
EDIT:
Also,
When viewing your SMS's do: Menu, Tools, Options and Untick "Display account picker when opening Messaging".

Try installing HTC action screen. It will map the left softkey to be able to create new mms/sms/email/apointment/contact, all with one click of the button. That might be what you're looking for.

Hi,
I am also quite desperate for this. I will try to explain what is that we are after.
When composing a new SMS message we need to follow the following steps.
1. Go to Messaging Application
2. Select SMS \ MMS
3. Click on Menu
4. Click on New
5. Now we need to select SMS from the list that shows MMS / SMS / Voicemail.
Now here is the problem, we would like to have SMS as the first option if possible (It helps save the click I need to do, if I am using the D-Pad), Alternatively, a direct link to just start composing a new SMS message directly without going through multiple menus.
Thanks
Manik

Hi,
I missed the link of my previous post (#3). Sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
The link was to a CAB to create a "New SMS" link on the left or Right soft key.

wow, from the main screen I tap 4 times with my finger and I'm good to go. That really isn't that much work.

Well, I click on the the envelope icon (1), then I have to click on "Menu" (2), "Go To" (3), "Text meddages" (4), "Menu" (5), "New" (6). This makes SIX clicks.

for me,
Envelope, menu, new, and sms..
Done.

After clicking the envelope, if it opens to email press the 5 way to the right and it will bring up SMS.

Unable to call contacts

I am unable to call any contacts from the touch flo 3d contacts page.
Nothing happens when I tap on any of the phone numbers for a contact.
I can send a text or email from the contacts page.
If I tap on the more option I can make a call from the screen that then appears by pressing the left soft menu key.
Anyone know how to get the functionality back?

is adding a contact picture allow you to make a call?
if so this is a known issue for certain late rom.

No adding a picture to the contact does not allow me to make a call.
Does not make any difference if the contact has a photo or not. Or if I try to dial from the favourites contact page or the all contacts page.
The rom is the standard htc one (v 3.43.25.19) that came with the phone only had the phone a week and a half.

Found out what was causing the problem.
Pocket Shield has an option to use the WM dialer when using the slide to answer functionality.
It claims that the slide to answer is more responsive when using the WM dialer and recommends using it.
Once I unticked this option the ability to dial from the contacts returned.

Surname first in SMS inbox?

Hello,
I am using HTC Diamond 2 for 3 months already. Recently i had restored from backup all my contacts and since then in Htc SMS all names start from First name then Surname. Before Surname was the first.
When i am creating new sms message and search for contact all of them are in Surname,Firstname form. But when i point one i need it is changing by itself to Firsname Surname.
Is there any settings or tweak to change this? I need Surname to be the first, it is more convenient for me.

I do not know how to do all contacts at once, but individually you can go to Windows (Not Manila) Contact manager and select a contact\edit\file as.

Thank you Bruce for reply.
No, this does not work. I already have all contacts in Contact Manager as Surname, Firstname. Same in HTC SMS when i browse for contact to create new sms.
The name's order changes by it self in a second, right after i had add it to new sms. Also i had tried to use Vito SMS chat and there is no such problem, in all names Surname are first one. So, i guess, it is problem with HTC SMS.
Any clue?

In htc people tab all people, select contact, edit contact, scroll to bottom, select more, on 2nd page click in the field "File as". You will need to do each contact individually.

Thanks Codehunter for reply, but your answer is basically the same as Bruce's ones. I had already all my contacts with FileAs field looks like Surname, Firstname and this does not help me.
