Switching ringer to vibrate - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

How do I make the phone silent and make it vibrate? I swear I think my phone is missing the instruction manual.

I know I can go into settings > Phone and make it vibrate from there , but is there a quick way to just make it silent if i go to the movies etc . ?

you can click on the speaker icon and move it to vibrate.
or download vibraswitch and assign it to a button

Hi
You can also tap the little speaker icon in the top right of the screen and select the vibrate radio button. This mutes the volume and activates the vibrate function.
Hope this helps.

Here is a cab for Vibraswitch if you are interested.
You can install this on your Kaiser and then go to Settings>Home>Buttons and assign one of the buttons to Vibraswitch. I assign Button 6 (Hold) so I can put the phone on vibrate without looking at the screen.
Hope that helps.

Wow thanks you guys are very helpful here. I am starting to like this forum.

Glad you found some help. I've been lurking here for ages and have decided that it's time I gave back some of the help I've recieved here over the years...

I also had one more question but figure I might as well ask here instead of make a whole new thread. I am trying to install the mini mozilla fire fox browser, but when I run the CAB, it says installation unsuccessful . Any idea on what I am doing wrong? I downloaded the cab right from the firefox site.

I couldn't get mine to run either...
So I just use Opera mini until the new Opera Mobile comes out.

I thought there was a version of vibraswitch that would toggle thru:
sound on - vibrate - mute
I have been searching for it, but I can not find it. Does it exist?

Touch Flo Cube Commercial App

I've been trying to get the Touch Flo Cube to work and suddenly here is a commercial app. But it looks clean, simple and fairly priced.
Here is the link.
http://www.touch-commander.com/
UPDATE: I've not been able to get this to operate with a swipe only with starting the program. Others have had a series of premature end to the program. Too bad, it looked promising.
Now that's nice....
Works on my 838 Pro but you'll need to press a button to activate it first before using the program
Thanks, but its been posted several times. Even I posted it about 2 weeks ago, and found out it had been posted about 2 weeks before that even.
Well if it wasnt for this post I wouldnt of found it and liked it
I just tested it on my wizzard. I like it so now its going on my TYTN II
It works great on my Kaiser!!
I wanted to add bluetooth turn on/off shortcut to this application (just like in Comm Manager) where can I find this link or how it should be created?
Thanks

thanks for your prompt response mate! i tried it previously but it wasnt working, now it is! but for me i have to start the program first.. it doesnt work if i just swipe my finger from the bottom to the top..
a question to those who have tried it, does it work on non touchflo devices? eg Atom Life...
no problem
this is strange because on my Kaiser it works every time even after reset!
I can't find the icon of this sotware in program folder - but I don't need to since it works

Yes it does.
Many ppl think activing the touch flo is from left right - right left.
But you have to active it from down up. And if you want to minimize it use up down.
Thx private69
I've Edited mine Touch Flo. (The registrations becomes false. So no need to register)

Can you configure the cube the way you want or is it pretty much hardcoded with the choices we see? Thanks again

so i downloaded the CAB file and installed. but it doesnt appear. i still have the bland home screen. i did a soft reset and nothing. any help?
in my mind i followed the instructions from this link http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html to a "t".
it cant be this simple...
I dont suppose you went to Settings > Personal > Today > Items(tab) and adjusted your settings.

Connect device to PC. Use Active Sync to move the (unopened/unextracted) CAB file to your device (storage card or if not main memory).
Then on the device use file explorer to find the CAB and tap on it to install it. Choose install to main memory for this CAB.
AND follow above posters advice to ensure the plugin is set to show on the Today Screen.

not that simple

already done that.
ditched the original link and downloaded schen's version on these very forums. so far so good!
look for schen's HTC Home at pocketemu.com. Then download HTC Home Customizer from the same Link and use it to customize your HTC Home.

2 ways
HHC can do it for you under one of its tabs
or
Go to the weather tab on HTC Home, tap on your city name and change it from the Menu option corrosponding to the right soft key.
Play around with it first and see if you can figure things out.
I downloaded the home plug and schen's cab, but the today screen only appears as the HTC home plug should appear. I tried reinstalling the cab file, but nothing changed. I can't find it under settings.
:EDIT:
I'm not even gonna bother deleting my previous post here. That was dumb of me. I thought I was to look around in the settings... Then I checked programs. You may now bash.
Screen not responding to the stylus?
I can not for the life of me get my stylus to work on my tilt. this is my first touch device but im sure its not hard. i can tap the screen and im fine but when i go to use the stylus it wont respond. could i have disabled something by accident?
Have a screen protector??? May need to adjust the sensitivity. Don't have the exact key, but I know it's in several posts. try filtering your search with the term pressure threshold.
No, it happened to me today too
Tilt w/Duttys latest.
I was reading email, when suddenly the touch screen stopped working. I could use the DPad, but no response to touch. Opened and closed the keyboard, still no response. Soft booted and it went back to normal.
I have had it happen 2 or 3 times on my tilt with dutty previous release. Rebooted and it went back to normal.
The problem is usually related to FTouchFlo, a simple soft reset cures the issue. If you don't have FTouchFlo installed, I'm not sure what could be causing it
I can also say that the issue is coming from touchflo. happened to me twice before so i've just disabled touchflo and hasn't happened since.
Me too!!!

I did everything in it, but sometimes my screen stops and freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes it gets so bad that it freezes like every 20 or 30 seconds when I am typing something using the stylus. I don't think I have touchflow because I never installed it. I just have the stock HTC rom.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

I use the Sprint Plugin
I use the Sprint plugin to accomplish this. Install cabs and throw everything else into the Window dir.
I want to replace one of the Icons to initiate the Task Manager from home screen. Nobody has got an answer for that yet?

thanks for reply fcreeves, this is very helpfull but it is not what I wish to find.
I have extracted only the file WisVol.exe and I am using this to launch the volume application, it is however better than the micro icon on the desktop!!!!
Perhaps, I can give an answer to your question, even if I have well understood the question of course....
I use Spb mobile shell to launch taskmanager. I have remapped the IE hard button to start it and it works great.... you have to give it a try.

Function for Contacts is now video call after official rom upgrade ... HELP !!!

Hey Folks
I upgraded to the official Hong Kong ROM upgrade on my HTC Diamond & whilst impressed by the speed improvements I have a major bug that annoys the hell out of me & thus hope some genius reading this can help fix the problem
On the home tab using the "phone" icon it then shows recent calls. However the left hand button that used to show "contacts" now shows "video call". I never want to make a video call & contacts is far more useful .... but there is no obvious way to change the function
Hoping someone can help
Chill dude.
This ain't a bug, it's a feature.
Personally, I do find video-call usefull, but ill prefer "send SMS"
Do U really need contacts? You can use the keypad T9 to find the person U want to call easily...
Circle your finger around the middle button and it rips thru contacts!

Use your favorite registry editor to navigate to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila] and change the following values:
"HomeLSKPath=addrbook.lnk" 'that's the application you want to use
"HomeLSKText=Contacts" 'that's the text that will be displayed on the left soft key on your Home screen
Do a soft reset.
Now your Left Soft Key will display Contacts, so when you press it, you shoul go directly to your contacts. Enjoy!
I've changed mine to Comm Manager.

Yep ... me & 1000 others want to change the key in the phone app
With CT's rom version 4 if I tap Phone soft key on Today screen then tap the little phone icon between the video call and menu softkeys it removes the keypad and leaves me with last call and contacts list...
No ideas anyone .... it is really bugging me
For me i just disabled the phone skin with the Advanced Config tool. It reverts back to the old WM6 design. I still prefer that. Do note that once u do this, the vibration when a call connects is disabled.
Hey KGB-Agent, I have exactly the same problem...and it is bugging me as well! I upgraded my dutch ROM yesterday :-( Another problem I have is that when I look at my contacts the SIM contacts are not displayed, even when I configure this in Advanced Config Tool...HELP! Anyone else an idea how to fix???
Your contacts are opened when your in the phone app, just scroll! why do you want it to open another contacts process when its already there?!? up and down or as i already said circle the middle button with your finger
Hi Blaze,
Circling with my finger in the middle button doesn't work for me. Furthermore, with "Contacts" I could quickly scroll down with the Alphabet on the right to f.e. the letter Z. The way you recommand it takes me ages to get to the "Z"!
I called the HTC helpdesk, they advised me to do a Hard Reset. Of course...that didn't work...:-(
Go to start and choose contacts its the same screen.
I agree the videocall is a bad choice from the makers of this rom.
Most people do not use this kind of calls.
Grtzzz
I have the same issues with the loss of functionality Ries
I cant believe there are not more complaints
I emailed HTC 4 days ago with no answer :<
@kgb-agent: I phoned the helpdesk. They said I had to do a hard-reset!?! I couldn't believe it, but okay, I tried it...and what do you think: I still have the problem! :-( I guess we have to live with it...bad choice from the developers...
same problem
up
Two things:
1) why don't people use the smart dialling feature? this is where when in the phone keypad, you just spell out your contact using the alphanumeric keypad (it uses T9 to search) and it displays your search results in real time at the top of the dial pad... MUCH easier than the contacts screen - try it.
2) circling the middle button with your finger does NOT work for me, i have no idea how that is working for you since the diamond is not meant to be able to scroll using that 'wheel' unless you have installed some 3rd party software for it, or its unique to your ROM/region.

MS Voice Command setup failure

Hey Guys
I just purchased and downloaded MS Voice Command 1.60 M2M and every time i try to install it I get the following error at the very end of the install:
"An unrecoverable error occurred in setup. Reset the device and try again."
It does seem to install it but nothing of MS VC works.
Having done a forum search I couldnt see any ideas so, i'm here asking for your help
Any ideas?
If I remember correctly, i'm running the Diamond TLR build ... :/
just tried SK-Tools to delete the old version and resinstall direct from the CAB file .... no luck.
Hi,
can you tell me your EXACTLY version of VC.
On some versions you'll need to change some files.
Hey mate
VoiceCommand_english_intl.exe
Microsoft Voice Command UK PPC 1.60 for M2M
Got it from Handago or something like that today
If I need new files, any idea where I might get them from?
Bit cheesed to be honest, I've bought this software, paid for it and it don't work.
OK,
to get the exact version (1.60.xxxx.x) go to Start -> Settings -> Voice Command. At the right side you see "v1.60.xxxx.x". The x's are the exact version.
VC 1.6 have problems to work since Windows Mobile 6.x. I've made a CAB for the "normal" Touch a few months ago. With this patch I get it also to work on my Diamond.
I use an extremly old version of VC (1.60.4622.0). Perhaps it also works on your version.
What you have to do:
- Intall your VC
- Ignore the error message
- DEactivate VC (Start -> Settings -> Voice Command -> uncheck "activated")
- Install my CAB (you have to copy it first to the Phone)
- Activate VC again

Thats the version that was sold to me earlier.... why are these online shops selling such old versions????
Will try your cab now.... brb
Nope..... thanks for your cab but still nothing .... just hold down button 1/left upside down phone and "dink".
Thats it.
Ahhh,
OK. These "old" version don't assign a key of Diamond to VC. Try to assign it manually in Settings. I use it only with my BT-headset for that. So I didn't assign a hardware key to VC.
Tell me if it works. If it's so, I'll make a new CAB with key assignment to the left (phone up) key.
thats the thing mate. The ONLY key I have assignable in Buttons is key 1 which im assuming is the phone up/left key? As it is, i've assigned this to VC and I only get a "dink" when I hold it down.
edit: seriously .... no other buttons are listed in that screen just button 1

The Diamond has ONLY this one assignable (for long press). The "dink" is OK. Did you try to say something like "help" in the phone? Did it answer your "help" with an explanation of how to use VC?
yeah, tried "help" ... nothing.
I know its not working as on my G900 and tytn before that, a little microphone icon would appear in the bar at the top - its not appearing here.
Hm,
i've tried it now also. There ist no icon... And also no reaction :-(
I never tried it with a hardware button since now. I'll try to get an answer for that. Why does it work (for me) over BT, but not on HW-key...
I'll make some tests, but not more today (tomorrow at 5 a.m. I must get up).
Tell you then my solution, if I get one ;-)

Hi,
I didn't forget you. I came home about 20 minutes ago. And I'm not realy able to think at the moment...
Is it for you OK to get (if I find one) an answer tomorrow?
Sorry for that...
mate
you are not under contract, you are here on your own free will
You help when you like and i thank you for ANY help you can provide, even if its next year!
Hi
I have the exact same problem so im also listening intensely for a solution
Hey Deeds
a few wise people are looking in to this for us. So far, we've tried a custom cab to fix it and also downloading the latest frame work from MS. Sadly, neither have worked.
You can follow the updates, questions and ideas in this thread
great thanks monty!
edit:
ive been trying for a couple of days now, with the same errror message as you.
ive also tried the patch linked to in another thread but also with no succes
and i too get the same ''dink'' sound even though i have mapped the button to VC instead of the default setting.
but it seems that this is the right place for answers so i guess i will just have to be patient
what rom are you using? I currently have the Diamond TLR, are you on a standard HTC or cooked?
and yes, if anyone in the world can solve it, this is the place they will be ... fingers crossed!
using
Rom: 1.93.403.2 danish
not really sure what cooked means ?
