I did a search but couldn't find any topics, hope this hasn't been covered before.
Recently I've lost two girlfriends (one after the other) because of texts that should not be on my phone. I'm starting to get slightly annoyed with the repetition. I probably don't deserve help on this...
Obviously I could lock my phone with a code, but this raises suspicion. So what would be great is if I could edit the reg to disable any SMS notification at all (and perhaps rely on the HTC Home to show when I have new SMSs). Is there a reg edit for this?
Alternatively, is there a reg edit to stop the notification from showing who it's from and the first few lines?
Failing both of those are there any other suggestions, other than flight mode, that I could stop untimely texts from being seen by prying eyes?
Karma, my friend, karma....

You need a Bat phone aka 2nd SIM and only give out the number on that one.
Delete all incriminating txts from inbox as well as sent items, my mate got found out from his sent items. He has the bruises to prove it.
Remember, Hell hath no fury like a Woman scorned.

Instead of trying to make seem like you aren't unfaithful/don't care about the girls/flirt etc... Have you considered just stop sending the txts?
If you're getting messages that aren't supposed to be on your phone, call your provider. If you are trying to weasel out of the consequences of something you did ... suck it up.
I wouldn't date you either.

WOW! I didn't realize that your request for a registry edit would turn into a morality session.
Thanks all, really appreciate the replies, i love this place. GSLEON3 thanks for the app, it seems perfect, and am testing now.

It's not the sending that's the problem, it's the replies! I'm not trying to excuse my behaviour, but it's not always that simple. That is to say that jealousy can blind the reader sometimes.
i guess your having problems with the girl actually going through your phone and seeing who sends the txts? if its just the pop up box you get when u get a new msg you can go into sounds and notifications and turn it off. i have been using palm threaded app for a while now and it has a privacy mode, it will give you the pop up box, but wont say what it says or who from. best thing i can advise to you is to just delete your txt msgs, its the easiest and only fail safe way. oh and make sure you delete them out of the deleted folder, hehe.
Thanks Cashin. I know deleting is the easiest and cheapest way, but doing that is actually quite laborious, as you have to remember Inbox, Sent Items & Deteted Items. Also, I don't like to guard my phone 24/7, I like it to sit on the bed side table sometimes without being paranoid about the bright screen powering up with an sms.
I've trialled SecretSMS for an afternoon and it's perfect, so I purchased it. For predefined contacts, the light still powers up when you recieve a text, but no other notification, and a password protected inbox/sent items. Great stuff.

Hi Everyone,
I must start by saying I'm new to installing software on my phone, I used to add and remove things all the time with my PDAs but have never really seen the advantage of doing so on my phone but now battery life is decent and the Internet is cheap and fast I'm really interested in doing lots more with my Varrio III.
So, for the record, I have a new MDA Vario III from T-Mobile in the UK with 'unlimited' data. Here are some things I'd like to do with my phone. I'm not too sure what I *can* and *can't* do.
1) Record Phone calls.
For work I would really like to be able to record both ends of a phone-call and store that recording on the phones memory card and/or internal memory. Is this possible?
2) Copy SMS Messages to Exchange Server
I'd like my phone to automatically sent my SMS messages to my email so I can access (view) them in Outlook, Outlook Web Access etc.
3) SMS Rules
I see I can make sub-folders under the SMS Inbox. Could I set up a rule so messages from certain senders is sent to a sub-folder. For example messages from my bank to one folder and delivery status notifications to another?
4) Data Radio Control
Most of the time there is no reason my phone needs to connect to anything faster than GPRS. Is there a tool that would let me turn off the 3G and HSPDA radios as I feel like it. While HSDPA is quick it seems to EAT battery!
5) Data Timer
Simple one here, I'm looking for a really light weight tool to add up 'bandwidth' I'm using. Just something like, ' Since you last reset the stats, you have used (transferred) 25MB of data'.
6) No signal notification.
I'd love for my phone to vibrate or play a sound when I lose cellular reception and when I find it again. And just for fun a different alert when I change cellular cells.
GPS IDEAS/QUESTIONS
7) GPS Tracking and updating to web server
Ok, I've been playing with TrackMe and it is exactly what I've been looking for. But uploading every few minutes seems to use a boat load of battery. I'm looking for your opinion on the optimum settings for TrackMe so I'm not using so much battery. For the record, I'm mostly walking so I'm not covering huge distances very quickly.
8) GPS based SMS sending.
Say I arrive at a train station, I'd love my phone to remind me to text the office and tell them I'm about to get on a train. Now, say I come within 5km of a location, I'd love my phone to text a predefined group of people with a message like, 'Hey, I'm currently in Glasgow, fancy a coffee?' or something like that. Any ideas?
QR Codes
9)I have a 2D barcode reader application and I would like ideas how I could use QR codes etc. What is everyone using them for, also is there an application that would read bar codes using the phones camera?
So those are my 9 requests. I've done a little googling but I'm really not sure what applications to look for and once I find applications if they are any good. Looking for your advice and recommendations
Thanks in advance,
ross(cbrown)
Sounds like most of what you want it out there. I know there was a thread about a week ago in the software section in regards to recording phone calls. There is a thread here about tracking gps, another about messing with your data (kaiser tweak) etc etc. just search around.
This thread reminds me of a bunch of those threads from april fools day. He can't be serious.

Hi Guys.
I am a new member here and I am too lazy to search for anything myself. Here is a list of what I want can you all please gather all the links for me and list them all for me?
Better yet I am too busy for that, can I just send one of you my phone with the list . Load it up and send it back? Thanks, this is a great forum

In his defense, searching and identifying relevant bits of information is not the easiest thing to do on this forum. This place used to be more friendly than it has become. Rosscbrown: try posting your request on MoDaCo's forum, chances are people there will be more likely to make suggestions.
For god sake he did not ask for links to relevant threads, only for suggestions/ideas as to how best do these things!

Some random thoughts:
1. GPS is known to eat batterys for lunch. Whenever I have TomTom on I am in the car and it is on the car charger. To leave your GPS on all the time so that you can get what you are wanting with (tell me when I get close to something) is going to cost you in battery life. BUT - TomTom has the ability to warn you when you get near a dunkin donuts or starbucks - etc. All you need to do is put in TomTom the places where you want "warnings" and you should be able to have it tell you that you are near- now I am NOT smart enough to tell you how to make it send a message - not really sure that after thinking about it you would WANT an auto message - say you got into town late and had to leave early in the morning and it sent an auto message to meet you at the pub to your friends and they went and waited for you?
2. no signal notification - I get this in my bluetooth headset - it is really helpful when I am driving - there are places where i am not "covered" with signal that I never realized. Try getting a BT headset and you will see what I mean - not really sure that you want an audible on that though that everyone can hear do you? It would get OBNOXIOUS in meetings or inside buildings - enough so that you would have to turn off your phone.
3. recording phone calls - I have not seen anywhere that this is possible - you are able to record one side of the conversaiont but I am not aware of any software that will let you record BOTH sides - be aware that there may be legal issues on this depending on your country.
This may be a great place to start: http://www.pocketpcmag.com/cms/index.php?q=blogs/3/513
4. Data rate on radio control - there are some out there - you can use Kaiser Tweak I believe to limit this - however - if you get the right ROM (see my signature for mine) you can get great battery life and NOT have to tweak this item.
5. Bar code reader - yes - I actually saw on a thread somewhere that someone had done this - taken a picture of a bar code and then read it - seems awfully long winded way around the barn though - you probably ought to get a device that has a scanner on it if you are going to read a lot of bar codes - the camera on the Tilt is a little slow and then to run a program that "reads" the picture interpret it and return a value and then plug that value in to another program - you could have typed in the bar code easier. Factor in bad reads and having to take the picture again and you are going to get frustrated way sooner than satisfied.
This MAY be the place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1964222
The other things in your post I will have to leave to smarter people.

Anyone been able to work a fix for this? WM 6 would underline numbers in received e-mail, calendar etc etc one could dial the numbers directly from within the mail?
The paste function has also been removed from the dialpad
ROM 1.37.421.3
This thread has an interesting solution.
http://forum.smartphoneexperts.com/showthread.php?t=165787&highlight=dial
Surur
this is bugging me bigtime!
im going try change the phone skin to the old wm6 version with advanced config, seeing as the function was there before on older phones then it should work here too.
can someone provide a solution??
The same problem for me.
I realized that when you have the status opened (it opens while you are talking) in the menu you have the paste option... but it is useless.
I also want to paste some numbers in the phone to call them... it is very annoying not to have this option (sometimes I need to copy also some numbers from internet pages... but now it is impossible!!!).
Can someone help?!?
Thnx.
Urosh
Hi Surur,
Good one thx for the link, i think this was a serious oversight from MS, this is the one reason i would chuck the phone.
So far i have enjoyed the phone, i think it works well, but as i said its virtually useless if you cant paste numbers on the dialpad.
This limitation is really annoying me now; and still, a month down the line it's the only unforgivable problem I have with this otherwise fantastic little phone.
I was hoping it was a simple oversight, and would have been fixed by now. Has any of the later ROMs addressed the issue? If not, has anyone came up with a solution, or at least a realistic work around that doesn't involve pen and paper?
for over 3 years i am using a dialer "contact breeze".
the dialer himself is also of value but i am reinstalling it each time only for this tweak. long press anywhere in a meeting or task and it will offer any of the telephone numbers in it. no need of any other spaces, tlf:, etc. just type the number and it will be offered for dialing after a long press. the prog cost a few $. it worth it!
Thanks, sounds like a usable work around, I'll check it out.
Still hoping for a real solution though... Anyone?

Yes. Anyone?
Notification when SMS [not mms] is sent...now gone [not request message delivery]
Had it before flashing to latest genuine Hong Kong rom...but now gone...not in notifications as a setting....any ideas please
Yes me too, I have flashed mine with a few different roms and I have never had it make a sound, I don't need it really but it is just peace of mind when it makes a sound that the SMS is send especially considering it is a phone running a Microsoft operating system... you never really know if everything works as you expect.
what do you need it for? if the SMS is not sent, you get an error message...
Believe me - for years I was used to getting those messages, but then i tried disabling them, a wow, so much better.
If you go to http://duttythroy.net/index.php
and download Diamond_Tweak_0.2_EN.cab
this has an option to turn sms sent notifications on ....
so people have been moaning for years about this error message, indeed it seems to have been one of the most hated parts of Windows mobile, and now that HTC finally get rid of it, people want it back.
Don't take this personally, but FFS!
**Bangs head against wall!**
I'm glad i'm getting out of technical support!
But yeah, if you want it back (for whatever reason) you can also use Schaps advanced config tool (Search, search and search again) to put it back.
Thanks
Thanks...much appreciated
hey
used the cab to turn back on my notifications - but dont seem to be able to get rid of the annoying sound that accompanies it. Its not listed in the sounds/notifications settings.
Im wondering of there s a simple reg hack to disable the noise.
cheers
...but can you really not simply call someone who has just texted without having to revert to pen and paper???
TIA
Sure, just press the Phone button.
That certainly doesn't work on my phone (standard UK 1.37.405.1 WWE).
When I hit the phone button, all I get is the keypad, with the last event in the call history highlighted.
I have to say, I've tried all ways I can think of with this issue, and I'm amazed something so fundamental appears to be missing. I can't remember how many times I got texts on my old phone only to decide the answer was too complex to text and decided a phone call was more appropriate. On my old phone I just cut the sender from the text and pasted it on the dialer, and that was a 'simple' Samsung D900... so what's going on with the Diamond I need to start carrying a paper and pen.
Please someone tell me I'm missing something, or that there's a trick other than having to temporarily enter them in my contacts or need to start exercising my extremely short term memory?
Hi,
If you open all messages and hit the call button, verify the number and call.
Works on my UK Diamond.
Ok.....
Seriously....?
Why did you buy the phone in the 1st place?
Cos it was "Pretty"?
If you go to your inbox, showing all your text messages, select the conversation between you and the person you want to call.
Then use the directional pad to select their part of the conversation (you will know this because their text message and name will be highlighted - might be highlighted blue, it is on mine...) then simply press the call key, (very bottom left of the handset).
You don't have to press any other other buttons.
It will ask you to confirm before it actually dials.
Didn't your phone come with a user manual? - I'll explain how that works.... you pick it up and page through it using your hands, it also comes with extra features such as an index at the back and a table of contents at the front.......
........Or is it like anyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes who was supplied with one that didn't come with indicators!

Hey Studz, no probs man.
Glad this thread didn't become ugly.
I guess for the guys who are developing ROMS and stuff, questions from newbies can be a pain in the ass. Perhaps there should be a section for "I'm sorry, I know I should be able to work this out, but I've tried for 3 days and can't :eek"
I'd probably fill it!!
I've had my Kaiser (tilt blah) for about 3 months now, and most of my issues I've solved off this forum through .cab downloads, or just becoming unretarted, but I have some questions about the default text program that I havent been able to answer myself... Everytime you send a message, you get a "message sent" notification that interrupts pretty much everything you're doing after your message. Is there a way to turn it off? Maybe just have a sound confirming it was sent? The other thing is sometimes when I text, the text input box at the bottom of the screen doesn't scroll with the words, making it impossible to see what you're typing or if you made any mistakes. Is it my phone? Or has someone created a patch so fix such things? (both). And that guy that said WM for this phone sucks it a waste of life. This is the best OS for a phone. Just may ned some encouragement from time to time, but It doesnt suck.
