I have used the search feature but i am unable to find the solution.
Maybe my search terms are incorrect, but,
When in a call after about 3 seconds the screen locks.
As you can imagine, it kames it difficult to respond to an IVR, press 1 to blahblah.
Does anyone know where in the registry this can be changed?
Thanks.

But I think this should not be in the upgrading section.

Thanks for the post reference.
I never ran the stock rom, OTB--> Dutty's 6.1
Was not sure if this was related to the upgrade.
This not an upgrading matter. Moving to Kaiser forum.

Hey guys, just wanted to share my WebIS support experience with you
I bought WebIS PocketInformant some time ago, and now installed it on my Diamond. When you switch the software to full screen, the menu is gone, and its impossible to get it back even after a restart, or soft-reset.
I go on the web and search, check the manual, their support site and FAQ, but cannot find anything. The only things I found is that some of the buttons should switch it off, and a restart of the software, which is not the case on the diamond.
So since I was not able to switch off the full screen I send a support request to WebIS:
WM Hardware: HTC Diamond - WM6Professional
Desktop OS: Windows XP
Version: Pocket informant 8.02
Synch Software: ActiveSync 4.5
Issue:
Hi,
I am unable to turn off Full-screen mode in PI 8.02
None of the buttons in the front work (home, ok, red/green phone, 4 irections, OK)
Restarting (reset) of the device does not work either...

They answered quite quickly:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
This is actually a common question and as such we have created a knowledgebase article that goes into greater detail for your benefit.
Here is the knowledgebase link:

Please let us know if that does not resolve the issue.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

Strange. I thought I checked that one. I am going back there, and filter the search for PocketInformant and windows Mobile, and not one single question/Answer regarding the "Full Screen" mode.
So I write back:
Hi,
I have searched the knowledge base several times already before sending you this email but could not find any answer there.
I searched there for "screen" (13 answers, all something else) and browsed all the 40 Pocket informant Windows Mobil questions, but no help either.
Please be so kind to point me to the correct KB entry instead of the main page or simply tell me how to fix this via email.

And they reply, one day later:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
You've either hidden the tabs, or the left soft key assignment needs to be changed, FYI.

Ok, let's see.... I do not have that software button however. and I did not hide the tabs, I just clicked on "Full screen" in the menu. And where is that FAQ entry now?
So I write back:
Dear Customer service,
thank you for that information. It does not help me to fix the problem though.
How do I unhide the "tabs"?
The device does not have a left soft key.
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=46278
Can you please show me a way how to fix this, such as a registry entry or maybe reinstalling the software?
I still could not find you FAQ entry. Does it exist??
thanks

This time, the answer takes two days to reach me:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
Did you try changing the left soft key assignment? That is the FAQ you need, FYI.

So I go to the advanced search and filter for Pocket Informant, windows Mobile and search for "Soft key" - nothing.
I write back:
Did you read my last email?
I assume that with soft keys you talk about a blank hardware button that has its function assigned by the software?
My device does not have soft keys!
http://www.htc.com/www/product.aspx?id=46278
The device only has a home, return/exit , call, hang up and direction/OK keys.
Also, your FAQ does not say HOW to change that key in case it exists. You also do not mention which registry editor to use.
It does not mention the full screen issue in one word either, how is one supposed to find it?
This is one of the worst support cases I ever had.

Now, I get the following answer:
Greetings and thank you for contacting us.
Thanks for your email. Your question is best found in the product documentation that was installed with the software or found on our download site in PDF form. On our support page there is a form to search all of our documentation quickly and read it via PDF or HTML: <http://www.pocketinformant.com/support.php>. We ask that you look there first because the instructions come with screenshots and usually is able to help you better. If you have already looked through the documentation and cannot find what you're looking for, it may be a feature request or bug - so let us know.
Direct links to the PDFs can be found here:
http://download.pocketinformant.com/
We strive to provide the best service we can and if our manual is not doing its job, we would appreciate feedback on that. Let us know if there is any important content missing, readability issues, or hard to find information. We'll be happy to take such feedback to improve the documentation as quickly as possible. Thank you.
We appreciate having the opportunity to help and service you. Please let us know if there is anything more we can do.

How is that supposed to help? Isn't that what I was asking for since the beginning? that they help me with the problem?
By now I did a hard reset and reinstalled the software.
Of course, I am not touching the full screen button again. And I am not contacting their support again for troubles either.
Clearly, the Diamond has a disadvantage in applications that rely on the soft buttons to work. There should be a tool to simulate the buttons with the volume buttons or else to fix that.
I've just had a look on their forum and this seems similar to your problem (and they recommend a reg edit solution)
see post 2 http://www.pocketinformant.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=12917
Hope this works for you
thanks for the help and pointing this out to me.
Maybe you could post back here if the reg edit works? It might help someone else with the same problem or considering whether to buy the application.
well... I fixed it before with a hard-reset and currently I do not plan to use the full screen anymore since only regedit can undo it, and thats simply too complicated. If I try it and it does not work, I have to hard-reset the device again.
But the thread you have from the WebIS the person had it fixed through it, so I assume it should work
I had this issue on my Touch Dual, using a hardware button (like camera) takes it out of fullscreen mode...
Their support was pretty useless for me also, I found the answer on another forum...
A solution for the Diamond is to assign your Send key (Button 1(hold)) as <Left Softkey>.
Yeah, our support guy has been a bit flaky lately. Honestly I think he just got tired of things after seven years. Must be why he resigned at the end of July. I'm sorry that that happened - though. Unfortunately it doesn't make real-world sense to use other buttons like volume control to get out of full screen mode. The Diamond is just not a good full screen mode device without some sort of gestures or other method to get out of it.
I'll definitely be looking for a way to add a button or something as a way to get out of full screen.
Reg edit
The regedit works on the Diamond.
I've exported the PI-registry, edited the "FullScreen"=dword:00000001
into "FullScreen"=dword:00000000
and imported the registry ==> problem solved
Hi folks. Sorry if this question's been posted before, I did a search but came up with nothing.
Is there a way of changing the length which you have to hold the end key to trigger the Long Press End Key functionality? I'd quite like to shorten it, but there's nothing in the settings.
Cheers,
Pete

Come on, You obviously didn't search very hard. I did a quick search and found this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402381
it was one of the first links which came up
Check it out. I didn't read the whole thread, but you should. You should not have created this thread, you should have searched and added to this one if there still isn't an answer posted. It would have revived the discussion perhaps if a solution has not already been reached. It may have, I don't know. Like I said, I didn't read the whole thread. Hope you find what you are looking for and good luck.
^but no answers
I also want it to be shorter.. by half or smt..
Keep an eye on S2U2 following this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2498625
I know it might not be exactly what you are looking for, or it might be better. I am using it on my phone *(not a Diamond) and it is by far my favorite locking program.
A_C has been working on the problems with the Diamond and this program and I am sure he will find sollutions soon if he hasn't already. Keep an eye on it. (if you are looking for an easy way to lock your phone)
I am not very familiar with the Diamon and what you are using or want to use the long press end key for, so I can't be of much help. Sorry
I currently use S2U2 on my diamond with absolutely no problems. I have it mapped to the long press answer button.
After a phone call Smart Dial appears for 5 seconds before it disappears.
Is it possible to get rid of that or at least reduce the time to 1 second?
Thanks.
I would like this as well as it takes to long to revert back to tomtom
+1 Bugs me too.
yep I am with you on that one too.
also the three second delay solutions posted here still dont work
ditto...any solution?
*Bump* Anyone, please
bump again.. maybe if we'd ask this in the themes and programs section?
no , i think this is the right place. a registry tweak maybe
actually, i knew about this but hoped for a sollution as well.
disable the phone skin with Advance Config and revert back to the old winmobile dialer.
I have had more time to play with the Diamond, so far, here are some of the things that can really ruin the experience:
1. Sometimes, in Opera, when tilting the screen to horizontal you exit Opera and end up in the dialler!? Why does this only happen sometimes? I thought it was a conflict with G sensor, but it happens even when it's disabled.
2. The home button sometimes stops working until I do a soft reset.
These two issues drive me insane!! I have searched for workarounds but have found none. Any advice?
S.
A workaround for home button not working?
Sometimes, when in the phone log, the ok button disaper, and the home button is not working (or any of the other buttons). But when this happens, i press the start menu to bring up the startmenu in WM, then press the home button. This will then bring back the home screen, and everything works ok.
Thanks for the reply Ohansen. I hope there's a better fix than that, the home-screen button should always work!

Probably a heap of people read it it and sighed, "another person who has not found the search function, someone else will have the energy to answer".
Your issue 1 is a known issue and is ROM specific. Flash a different ROM and it will go away. Well to clarify, the Opera version may have an effect to. But for me at least the fix was to switch to another ROM and all came good.
Ohhh, so snobbery is the reason then? I tried the search and what I did find was threads with 30+ pages! What's wrong with asking for some concise help or even direction?
Thanks for the reply though. I'm using Swift BL, v.6 with the latest Opera included with it. Too bad if I have to flash, I like this ROM a lot...
Snobbery or laziness. I don't know. I just did a search for Search = opera dialler but I agree it is hard to get the search to work in this forum as it is somewhat convoluted.
In any case I suspect you may need to flash another ROM to fix it. When I had the same issue (Panosha Rom) it was sporadic and was only effecting me and one other guy but importantly with the same ROM. Have not seen the issue again since.
Thanks for the reply! I'll update to v.6.2 Swift and see if that helps.
Another issue I just thought of, can you please tell me how to exclude opera, teeter, the picture browser and coreplayer from Gsen? I have read the readme file but don't understand it...
Hello,
Ok so I text really fast, and my problem is that the words on the screen show up a few seconds after i'd already hit the keyboard. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

I see you're new here - welcome. There is a fix for slow keyboard response with the Kaiser here somewhere so as already suggested you could try searching for it. I found this thread which covers exactly what your experiencing http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412615
You should also have a good read of the Kaiser wiki as there's alot of good stuff there
What i found that works well is when you go to settings > input > and under the auto completion tab instead of predicting after a space have it predict after a letter. I noticed a huge improvement.
