Recently used progs list on START button

Hi folks!
Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but my search results showed nothing so i had to ask as this is driving my mad.
When i hit START on my WM6 handset, as you will all have, i have a list of previously used programms.
Well with installing Slither's Cube (awesome by the way and more to come soon i'm told... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234), i've been back and for the testing icon links so my screen after hitting START is 'more' than full, it's at bursting point
So my question is this.
Is there any way you can reset it back to scratch / basic?
There MUST be... isn't there???
Message back soon before i end up crying
Steve

No worries mate. One more thing. This is another one that is winding me up something rotten.
Example... on a Nokia, you can choose the view you wish to have in your contacts list by going into options etc etc and selecting either... SIM ONLY, SIM AND PHONE MEMORY or just PHONE MEMORY.
Obviously the PHONE MEMORY on a WM5 or 6 would be OUTLOOK so... how do you display OUTLOOK ONLY???
Am i making sense here?! lol
If i can't get the answer to this in the next day or so then i'll have to New Thread it cus this one drives me mad to!

Delete everything in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch] and soft reset asap.

For hiding SIM contacts, thus displaying only "Outlook" contacts:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone\"ShowSIM"=dword:00000000]

I have to put you to the test now!!!
Ok, the XDA Orbit has a built in GPS as does the Kaiser yes.
No, what the Orbit DOES have that the Kaiser doesn't is... yes, you guessed it... an FM Radio.
So... would it be possible to get the FM Radio settings off the Orbit ROM and patch them into the Kaiser ROM?
Anything you can think of or trick you have up your very knowledgeable sleeve at all?
This should test you!!!

THAT I don't know. I am a Trinity and a Touch user and these tweaks remain after soft reset but maybe it's different with Kaiser.

I'll give it a quick go now, hit softy and see what happens. BRB!
Steve
P.S. Did you take a look at my question about the FM Radio at all?

unless the kaiser magically gets a am/fm radio, no
but if you have an unlimited data plan and/or wifi in the area just stream it!

Ok so the CAB for the Outlook works lovely. Thanks for that. Awesome job
Just trying this Clear Temp for the START button question i asked. What was your suggestion to that one again please dude? Sorry about this, i haven't been to bed in over 28 hours and i'm starting to fade badly

zooming on Opera

Goodmorning to all of you...
I'm having a question..I have a compact IV now for a couple of weeks which is now fully customized with an original stock ROM from HTC but since a few days i'm not able to zoom with Opera..
what I mean is that when I search for a mobile website, it will open, but I can't zoom in or out with tapping on the screen...I already looked into the settings and that should be ok..the mobile view option is enabled...
I'm also using Advanced Config..had that something to do with this??
I hope somebody could help me with this, maybe i'm not the only one with this problem!
Thanxx everybody in advance
Jeroen

is there somebody who can help me with this???

not just you
i can't use it too !

Have you tried a soft reset?
Mostly when I have a problem this is solved by a soft reset.
Also turning off and on wil help often to problems that occur after some time.
Grtzzz

Can you zoom by using the "wheel"? I mean by using a circular motion with your finger around the center button?

No, i'm not even able to use the wheel.. and a soft reset also doesn't work either.. also some text on the right hand side of the screen isn't aligned..maybe I can make a screenshot of it...

Which rom do you use? This might be the problem.
Remember when it worked for the last time?
If yes think about what you did after.
Maybe you installed a program which causes this.
Try to uninstall the program or programs if you did.
When you installed more then one delete one after each other and remember which program did make the problem to your browser and post it here.

at this moment i'm using the original HTC stock rom v1.37 Europe edition, i've installed Advanced Config and that's all....i might try another hard reset but I would prefer another method to get rid of this annoying problem...

1.37
Why not go to 1.93 its much faster and smoother.
This might also solve your problem.
Grtzzz

Pirtje...as for the text overflowing on right side...Opera sometimes does not reposition text that are in tables of more than one cell (and possibly other times as well). If those items are in a table, that is most likely the cause.

I might do that later...because I don't have an version which I can use, because I have a mda Compact IV which is Hard spl-ed 1.40 but can't upgrade to 1.93..
at least...don't know how to manage that...

Check that you have not got a tick in the 'mobile view' in settings. You can't zoom when that is checked.

I have the same problem and I'm sure, first it was possible to zoom in mobile view for me. When I zoomed in this mode the site zoomed in and text was broken to the new format after a few seconds. Now it is in fact only possible without mobile view, but this is not very usefull for me, because text is will not be reformated in this mode. Don't know what happend.

first uncheck the mobile view box......and then anywhere on the website double tap the screen and this will zoom in automatically and then start using the wheel to zoom in or out etc....this will auto format the text to fit the screen......the catch is to "double tap" on the screen first before using the scroll wheel otherwise the scroll wheel will not auto format the text to fit the screen......

Diamond novice needs your help... PLS!!!

After having a Touch a few months back, i thought the Diamond would be a breeze. NO such luck in my experience.
For example. On the main home screen. How do you edit that so it's just the clock or, to add more to the list that currently shows calendar and call history? I can't find any way to do this so if you can enlighten me, i'd really appreciate it.
What about when texting? Is there any way to make the keypad a different size? Personally i can't find a way to edit that. It's annoying that after adding your contacts name, you seemingly have 90% of the screen filled with the entry system and you have to mess about to get to the message section of the screen. Guessing i've missed something somewhere!
Zooming in on a photo... how is that done? Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
This thread could become a handy hints and tips chart for beginners if all feedback is good so if you have a question or some simple advice for settings and the way to go around things, chuck a note in and someone will be very happy to see the reply

1) Well if u flick ur finger in an upward motion on the home screen u'll notice the clock becoming smaller and will list all the list all ur appointments from ur calendar...
2) If u are not satisfied in the HTC Keyboard, u will need to look into other keyboards my fav personally is Touchpal from Cootek and there is even resco keyboard which is pretty gud.
3) You can only zoom in a picture when u r in the HTC Album, in order to zoom you will need to rotate your finger clockwise or anti-clockwise i am always forget which is for zooming so u will need chk tht out...
I hope these tips helps u out....

Hmmmmmm, i see. Shame that somehow we can't take the good things from the Touch like the Home screen as standard and have them in the 3D instead. If any cab compilers are reading this, maybe it's something that could be done?
Along those lines, maybe someone could rip out the original texting keyboard, the smaller more compact one... better for stylus use and enables you to see more screen. I HATE the big finger pad they've put on the Diamond. Is is really necessary to have it that big? Surely if you're going to use the stylus (i mean if HTC didn't want us to use one, then ALL the functions and menus would be larger, yes?), then why provide us with one in the first place?!?!!

There are multiple SIPs already built into the Diamond. Holding your finger or stylus on the small arrow next to the keypad button when input is allowed will display the menu, from there you can select the Windows SIP which is tiny and stylus friendly...
Reading the manual is a good idea before posting dude. Or even a search

Well thanks for that reply. I'll have a mess about with that one.
That took no time at all. NO WINDOWS SIP on my handset. All i have are the following... BLOCK, COMPACT, FULL, KEYBOARD, LETTER, PHONEPAD and TRANSCRIBER *sigh*
What bloody version have you got?!?!!
Oh and for the record Mr Read-The-Text-Provided (lol)... did i not say this? ---> Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
Hmmmmm, i think i did!
Ok... answer this one then. Every other HTC phone i have had has done this but not on the Diamond. When you receive a simple thing like an mms or a text, the screen lights to give a clue in case you never heard the message laert. How you you activate THAT cus i'm not seeing how it'ds done anywhere.
Clues please?

I agree - the 'manual/instructions' Orange sent were non-existent and as a first time PPC user I was totally lost until I had a nosey around here and to be fair am still learning all what this phone can do!

HTC want a good kicking if you ask me. The thing as I see it is this. If they'd have kept the basics as it was on the Kaiser (Tytn II) and THEN added the 3D, all would have been superb.
As for Orange... well, nuff said

Thanks for that chap. My tone? Oh well if i've offended anyone then i apologise. I'm just a bit jumpy when things don't go according to plan and my comments come over as slightly abrasive when in fact, they're supposed to come over as a normal question but in a jokey type manner. I get that in a face to face sitation to so i know exactly what you're saying.
Again, thanks for the reply though. Much appreciated

Quick question...

Am I imagining it or should the screen flip over when I move the diamond to horizontal when browsing on Opera? If it should be, how do I make mine do it?

it should do it automatically
Edit:
Try this ..enter your browser, go to settings, then display and automatic full screen should be marked

Ok, well than I have a problem because it's not. Help!

Try this ..enter your browser, go to settings, then display and automatic full screen should be marked

Full screen was marked. Thanks though...
Ok, I just realised that my battery was very low. Not only was the screen refusing to go horizontal, when it did go eventually go horizontal, the key-pad came up and showed me missed calls!?? Does the diamond go a bit crazy when battery is low? lol!

Buddy:
A word of advice:
Read all the post and threads before you start your own topics.
Dont be lllaaazzzyyyyy, we were all once new to the Diamond.
All the questions you asked since you have become a memeber have been asked and mostly resolved.
Make everyone a favor and explore all the knowledge that has been gathered for Diamond users.
It all there man!
Luck!

Thanks for the post, but I searched for this issue and couldn't find anything.
As you're such a senior member, some help and perhaps at least pointing me in the right direction on this forum would be greatly appreciated.

What usually helps in this situation is do the following:
-Quick fix for the Opera is here: Latestzz version of Opera which I believe is the one on Duttythroy.net
-Uninstall current Opera version and reinstall with 1938.
If that does not work try this:
-Flash ROM. You choose your poison. All ROMS offered are good, it all depends on your taste.
-And then reinstall new Opera version (if ROM does not have it)
Luck!
And remember to search and read!

Thanks for the tips. I should have mentioned that I have Swift v6.0 ROM...
Are you saying that the low battery and crazy web page viewing is common then? Or that the screen not going horizontal is common?

Some bugs on the switchng to horizontal and then starting phone app are common. I believe they dont have anything to do with batts.
You will stumble across multiple bugs, the Jewel is one spoiled brat. But we all love him anyways
(I guess its the price to pay for such an "Open Source" based on liberty device)
Luck!

Does the latest Opera on dutty's webage fix this bug?
Also - and I have searched for this relentlessly - I don't understand how to install cab files, can you tell me where they need to go on the phone before I try to execute the file...

D/l from wherever.....store on PC Desktop
Connect Diamond to PC Activesnych.......
Copy d/led CAB on Desktop to Internal Storage on you Diamond using file explorer on you PC
Using file explorer on your diamond go to Internal Storage.....
Click on Cab file.
It will start installing and ask where do you want to install....choose where internal storage is best.
Then hey presto its there.
Go to Programs and icon should be there click and enjoy

Issue of Touch Sensor

Hi Guys,
I am using HTC Tilt and have some problems with my phone. The touch sensor is responding very much late. Would like to know how to make it faster... Awaiting for your suggestions..

same for me!
i don't know why,but after flashing it goes perfect!but after few days of use it becomes slow to response to finger and pencil touch...Anyone knows why,and possibly,how to heal this problem?thx anyway

just a guess but it probably has something to do with the registry although I don't know which setting
and a little side note: Mods will probably move this to the general section

I'm very sure that kaiserII101 is correct. I believe I remember reading about a registry value that will affect the pressure you must apply to the screen, and another that will affect delay or something. Not really a whole lot of help, but just my thoughts.

The utility is on the xda site, but I have no problem giving it to you.
There are a lot of other fun things in the program, just make sure you do a full back-up before you start messing around with it. ('Sprite' is great for this.)
It's a registry editor, but it is formatted in a multiple choice style, with "Advised" settings as well as "Default".
