I don't know if this is a general WM question, as I've never had a WM phone before.
From the Home screen I choose 'Messages' then click 'All Messages' - which gives me a standard looking screen with an Inbox of all the people I've sent/received texts from.
If I choose a person, then I get the whole conversation with the person.
How do I delete a part of the conversation without deleting it all.
I've found that if I click on the persons name I get their contact info - if I press 'OK' at this then their message is highlighted. I can then choose 'Menu' then 'delete' which clears that ONE message. Surely there must be an easier way?
Also... I'm currently using the HTC Full Querty keyboard as my chosen input method. I have the T9 on and it works great MOST of the time!!
My only problem is that if I type a word sometimes it will give me another word that I dont want. How do I say no to this choice?!
Eg... I was typing a message to a friend in which I said 'did you get your ass up on the dancefloor'. When I typed 'ass' it imediately pops up with 'assets' and 'association'. If I press Space it choses assets for me. Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass' without having to take its suggestion? I don't want to turn the T9 off as I find it really good for putting in apostrophes etc - and apart from this problem it works great.
Cheers...
"Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass'"
Man i tried my best to think of a witty comment to that - but i'm struggling!
Any how, I don't know either but what I do is press space to complete the word most like the one i want, then go back & edit it. After that, the word comes up automatically when typing the approriate letters.
SMAC
ha ha...
Its happened to me heaps of times, but ass wss the only example I could remember!
My iPhone had a great little X that appeared and let me ignore its suggestions. I wish there was something similar on the Diamond.

Cant answer your second part of the question but the bit about deleting one particular conversation??. Im sure today i was able to do it but now ive wiped my messages inbox so cant really check. But im sure if you highlight that part of the conversation u want deleted then go to menu and you should have delete available. Again im pretty sure thats how i did it...deleting them one by one.
Check it and see if it works...like i said im pretty sure thats how i did it...i could be wrong tho.
Use the circular navigation button (press "up") while in the conversation screen, and then you will be able to navigate between individual messages.
Yes I know, I had to hear this from someone else too. Not very intuitive... Annoying when a good delete option is lacking...
Hi All,
I have a question. Every time I open a SMS/Mail the keyboard pops up automaticly while most of the times I only want to read the message.
It is making the screen smaller and it takes time.
Is there a way to solve it?
Further I did not find a way to have an audio/acoustical alarm when the battery is finished so in a call the phone will switch of at once and immediately without warning.
Do I miss some settings or .......
Thanks in advance for help, Remco
When you get the message...instead of opening it there...click on the inbox in the lower left area of screen and that will open it up without the keyboard...when you click on it in the envelope or sms screen...it opens it because it thinks you want to reply straight away.
Battery alarm??...dont think there is one to be honest. I havent seen anything in the notifications or alarm section of the phone...Shame really as it would have been useful to have some sort of alarm going off when the battery gets low or is about to die.

same thing here the keyboard pops up automaticly when opening message ?!
click on the inbox in the lower left area
cant find it ?
do you mean the notifications when new message comeup
yeah i also find it really annoying that the keyboard pops up automatically everywhere.
it was not like this on my old Wizard with WM5.
i looked around in the options but cant find anyway to not make the keyboard pop up automatically yet.
It's because you have no Hardware Keyboard, and as the OS assumes you want to reply, it's helping you out. You'd probaly find theres a bunch of people who love this feature as much as you hate it
Rory
lol
Why dont you just read it in TF3D? bt yeah as for the the battery sound you can go into sound & notifications and select to enable sound for 'Events' thats the best i can think of atm.
I also find it frustrating with the keyboard.
Can this be set with a registry key to not have it pop up.
If i need the keyboard I can klick down in the middle of the screen to bring it up.

Nope there is no solution to this problem. There will never be a solution to this problem.
DONT try and search this forum for a solution to this problem because searching for a solution to this problem will not find a single solution to this problem.
There IS NOT a cab installer available to fix this, just as there is NO registry entries available in this forum to solve this problem
There has in fact NOT been 3 Topics in the last week that have solved this same problem.
I suggest starting a few more new topics in the forum asking for solutions to this problem.
Sorry for the sarcasm but jeez how many times must the same question be asked in the same forum in the same week!!!!

Possible with (albeit commercial) pocketMax phoneAlarm.

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.

Do you know the keys for the phone app? I bet there are 100 people wanting those. I think that is what kgb-agent is looking for.

I don't have a clue how to change softkeys within the phone app, sorry. Looks like I have misread the original post...
Thanks Heretic & others
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.
I have linked contacts to little squares. When I hit the tab with the person's name on it, it automatically dials the person's number. I far more often use text messaging. Is there an easy way to change what happens when you press the little square?
When you click on Add, find the person in your contacts.
When you select them, it will give you the option to add their numbers.
If you select the one where it says 'txt' after it, the little button with thier name will be mapped to send them a text message, instead of calling them.
Of you can just click on the persons picture and it will open up their contact card.
Doesn't work on stock ATT Rom
When I click on the "+" button, it takes me to my contacts list. When I click on anyone's name, it adds their name to the little square. When I click on the little square, it calls them. I need to set it up so that it gives me the option to send them a text. Maybe my rom is corrupt. I can add pictures, and they show up on the today screen in the little boxes, but when I click on the little pictures, it places a call. I can't or just don't know how, to change the function from "place a call" to "send a text". I called AT&T and have scoured the internet but could not find a solution. I've installed a few programs, which may be causing the conflict, so I guess it's a quirk I'll have to live with.
Finally figured it out
If you tap the little square, it dials their mobile telephone number. If you hold it down with the stylus, it gives you the option to call (home, mobile, work) number or text. I wish when you tapped it, it would text!
Are you using the HTC Home plug? If you use a rom with Manilla when you hit the square it brings up the contact and you have your choice between calling or texting.
I'm using the stock rom minus the bloat
I haven't made any mods other than adding the hidden proxy enable and disable cabs and installing the mp3 ringtone fix. However, I'm about to attempt to remap the PTT button because I hate how you can't mute the phone if you forget to put it on vibrate before a meeting. There is a post that describes how to use the PTT button to toggle among the various volume options.
Step up and flash your tilt...on second maybe thats not a good idea...
have you thought about trying a modded Rom? there is some really great rom out now that will do just what you want plus a whole lot more....
For me, mapping that PTT button was really tough
I went through three different registry editors before I could find the hklm folder. Once I found and deleted that though, it was pretty easy. I am so thankful to horndog1 for the step by step instructions.
Here's a link. I suggest using PC Commander. It was the only one that worked for me. Here's the link to the instructions.
I like this stock rom minus the bloat. So long as it's stable, may stick with it.

i would love this, i hardly ever call people (i only use about 50 minutes per month of voice, but i'm always on aim/texting). If there was someway this could be edited w/ a regedit i'd love it. TF2D is great, but i've have yet to find a ROM that is as stable as any of the simple 6.1 HTC home roms, and the things i use my phone for (lots of note taking, data logging) i can't be doing soft resets to my phone all the time. i did this once and lost a 3 hour session of notes. that WAS...NOT...GOOD. on top of that, it BLOWS not being able to use the TF2D in landscape. i'm really surprised no one has cooked any of the tile icons into any of the manilla roms
Hi Group.
Just got a touch diamond, my first smart phone so bear with me,I have a question,how do I find where to change

You will be prompted for your choice of 3 options:
everyone
noboby
only to contacts
Well That was fast.Thank you so much,Now while you are there,I also have found that if I receive a text from someone not in my contact list,The only way I seem to be able to add them to my contact list is to dial their number and hang up quick, and then I have the option to add it,I bet you know better

Not entirely sure of the exact details but if you open the txt message and press and hold on the number you should get an option to save that number to contacts.
Hi
Well thanks again,I am sure I did that, which is what made it start to dial, will try it next time to see if it was finger trouble my end
Tis a nice handset,I am fine with windows,just need to get to know the touch screen system better,
Many thanks for your help,seems I have a lot of reading ahead
