Several times when typing with the keyboard on my Tilt I've found I get double letters when I only press the key once. Is that common? Is there an adjustment for this?
Perhaps you need to re calibrate your device as perhaps when you did it the first time, you calibrated your device in such a way that made your screen too touch sensitive
I guess he means on the physical keyboard, not on the touchscreen. This happens to me too and I find it mildly annoying, especially if I'm in a hurry. I'd love to find a fix for it.
There was another thread describing the exact opposite behaviour, but I haven't played around with the settings yet.

Ooops- My bad.
Same here, especially with the "d" key and sometimes multiple repeats not just doubles. Other keys doing it also. Thought at first it was sticky, but thats not it.
Rfka01 is dead on, of course. I'm referring to the hardware keyboard.
I looked for a 'repeat rate' setting or such to see if that would fix it, but can't find any setting of that nature.
Hi, did you check the thread I linked you to? They are toying around with registry settings for keyboard repeat rates. ATM I don't have enough time to try it.
Robert
Sorry - I was trying to help find the keyboard repeat rate setting and thought that I knew where it was and failed.
Message removed.
I think we all know the real problem - keeping it in the family a bit too much eh?

Are you a GTA fan Vijay? Nice. I'm almost through with the story mode in GTA4.
Another thing I think the button repeat rate setting applies to the keyboard reapeat rate. So adjust that and it might help.

@juiceppc - to tell you the truth, I haven't played it and am trying desperately NOT to! I'm rebuilding my PCs and "upgrading" from Vista to XP, so shuffling 2 terabytes of data around, accumulated over years of coding and hacking, is taking weeks and weeks
As soon as I finish, I'll get back on my xbox 360 and give it a go.
Do you like it? (better respond offtopic, I shouldn't be polluting threads)

For some reason, the keyboard repeat rate is actually tied to the volume up/down control settings. Go into your Setting, Buttons, Up/Down Control page, and twiddle the "Delay before first repeat" setting. That should fix it.

The game is sick! A technical achievement of this decade IMHO.
Yes, this is a frustrating reoccurring issue. Sometimes it'll even give you double letters of two of the first letters in a word, for example, "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when it happens to only two letter words, like "to" for example, which results in "I'm going toto the movies."
I've filed a report with Google, so please visit the link and star and add your own testimony if you wish. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I even made a video demonstrating the problem to show Google. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk

Is it possible to reconfigure the hardkeys that are set, by default to messaging and Internet Explorer?
Thanks.
Sure. You must read the manual that comes with the phone, but go to
Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons

Thanks, except (unless I'm either blind or stupid) there is no "personal" entry.
Personal is the Tab along the bottom of the screen. It should already be on personal, but might not be. Click it to be sure, and check your eyes when you can

But this is a smartphone, it doesn't have a tab at the bottom of the screen.
Ahh, my blindness! I apologise profusely.
I'm generally device agnostic, so didn't look at your device name: but I don't use Smartphones.
See if you can find a solution, if not, I'll write you a special app just to make up...

That's a relief, I was starting to think I was going ga-ga.
I'm also interested in a solution, I especially want to reconfigure the two buttons on the side (camera and voice dialing). I wasn't searching profoundly the internet for a solution yet, but also on Modaco and a Swiss board noone knew how solve this problem. So a solution would be highly appreciated
Doesn't AE Button Plus work on your devices?
V
Aha, interesting application, thanks for pointing out to it. Yes, it works, though it's a bit a "too powerful" solution (but better than nothing) - if there was a simple solution that doesn't require an application to run in the background then I'd prefer that...
I imagine there is. I haven't used a Smartphone since Orange E100, way way back. Are you sure there's no easy way?
If I was down and dirty, I'd set one button, export the registry, change it again, and export, and compare the two.
Isolate the registry function, and see if you can extend it.
It's possible certain hardware keys are "off limits", they are on the PocketPC. But I have code that might assist, but if you were using my code, I'd recommend AE Button Plus over it any day
V
One problem is that it doesn't seem to be possible to reconfigure a single one of the buttons via control panel. I saw a solution for the soft keys via registry (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Home/Keys), but this solution doesn't work for the hard keys (or maybe I'm doing something wrong, happens a lot ). There seems to have been a solution for earlier Smartphones with "SHORT_xxx.lnk"/"LONG_xxx.lnk"-files that should be found in the Windows-directory, but this solution doesn't seem to work on WM5 any more. But I still haven't searched profoundly, so maybe I'll still find something.
is there now any better solution? i tried ae button plus, it runs on my mteor, but i can't map the keys. it says 'taste nicht verändern' / 'key not changeable'. it drives me crazy...
hello, is anything new about changing meaning of HW buttons? thanks
Short_home, Long_Home, Long_send, short_camera, long_camera, Short_record, Long_record, Short_VT, Long_VT, Short_POC, Long_POC
Best regards
But I cant find anything like this in Win directory... (WM6.1)...thanks
I know this is a bit of an odd question, but is there a way to have two different today screens on the Tilt, one for when the keyboard is closed and one for when its open?
I want this because i dont like having to scroll down on the little scroll bar to access the programs below when the key board is open.

is there a program or a setting that could do this?
And to refrain from posting 2 threads, is there a way to schedule your phones ring volume? like every week day from Time A to time B its vibrate and the rest its not?
I think the answer is yes, and yes.
I'm pretty sure the phone uses different pic files when changing resolution upon opening the Tilt. I don't know of a program to set it but I bet there is one. I'm surprised no one has helped on that yet. Hang in there.
There are several programs to set the phone volume at a schedule. This is called a "phone profile". PocketZen Phone and SPB Phone Suite are two examples.
Try a search, see my sig fo link. Good luck.
If you use Resco Picture Viewer and set one picture as a wallpaper when on portrait mode, and then another when you're on landscape mode, you'll get two different wallpapers.
If anyone knows of another method I would like to know aswell.
Cheers
Ok pizzaguy wants 2 diferant screens on slide open and closed. Not only change the wallpaper (background). Well pizzaguy I hope someone can help u because then they would also be helping me.... I want the same thing. Later dude.....
I think the only solution is Wisbar Advance Desktop.
That can create a page for portrait and one for landscape.
There is a program from a company called Netwasp, Thememaker M, that allows you to make WM6 themes with a portrait and landscape Graphic that are different. I'm using it to make themes for my Tilt, and it works great

I use PhoneWeaver from http://www.SBSH.net for this, and love it. I have it set up to be on vibrate during normal business hours, quite after I put my daughter down to bed, silent at night while I'm sleeping, and loud rest of the time. Everything can be completely scheduled based on time/days. You can also set up different alerts for Phone/Mail/SMS/etc. based on these profiles as well. The only issues that I have come across is that it doesn't turn Wifi off correctly, but I think there is a work-around for this.
Hi everybody!
I'm very new to HTC and WM6.1 but I know hard reset is not that complex.
Anyway I saw two video-tutorials.
In the first the guy only pressed the two buttons and then followed the on screen indications, in the other video the guy used the stylus and the two buttons, but the result lookes the same... are there any differences?
Thanks a lot! (I don't want to destroy my Kaiser )

Search and ye shall receive, all answers to most questions can be found in the Kaiser wiki, including this one.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Resets
You can also do a software generated hard reset by pressing" clear storage " in your program menu.
Ok thanks a lot!
I read somewhere that a hard reset made without the stylus and the two buttons (the "hardware" way to do it) is not safe.
Bye!
To hard reset, make sure you've backed up all the files you want using your Sprite back-up.
Then hold down the two buttons, (one above the explorer symbol and the other above the envolope symbol) Hold these down and stick stylus in the reset whole right and above usb port, and hold for about 3 -5 seconds (not just push and release) Hold until screen comes on white with blue lettering saying-
"This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default. Press send to restore manufacturer default, or press other keys to cancel."
to start the reset you just hit the green phone symbol, it will do some seleteing , then ask you to hit ok to boot (or something along those lines) and you just hit the green phone symbol again.
just email me at [email protected] if you have any other questions.
Thanks for the support!!
I did it! All right!
Good to see you got help here, but I must shoot in here that you really should open youre user manual wich the phone came whit. If you dont have that this is wery wery well described in wiki and +50 other treads in there. I am not trying to be a complete d**k here, but its sad to see the quality of this board has fallen so much that this isnt a 13+ flame tread; in before lock ect. lol.
Seriously, you should make a bether effort.
Its actually harder to google this problem and not get a solution than getting the answer youreself.

Hi there, i don't know if this problem exist on you guys' ROM, no matter what ROMs i flashed, the problem still exists, which is when i try to type something using my hardware keyboard, everytime after a couple of words i typed, the "."(full stop symbol) will automatically came out without typing it... and i just check out to take some screenshot to show you guys, now even WORSE, it just simply capitalized my word randomly, and somtimes it will just spaced up twice even if i just press the spacebar once, anyone facing this problem as well?
screenshot are like below...

I haven't seen that problem before. I just wanted to give you a answer
Try updating/editing your dictionary. It seems that it has an entry for that kind of word (where the 2nd letter is capitalized.). Try this link.

thx for the link, i'll try it later, but i think it's a hardware issue, because there are more n more people having the "spacebar" issue which i have it as well in this forum, i can see it everywhere in Raphael forum, so i guess mayb i'll send it back for warranty if i could...

Yeah. I'm having that 'space' issue either. It's accumulating dust. Could be the reason, and I'm going to the (HTC) service guys here in Manila. (there are no replacements here in our country.)
Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue, I have seen the spacebar issue and that has usually always been hardware, but the "." is odd, haven't seen this so much, may both be hardware related if hard resets and random ROM's don't fix it. In this case, if you can get a your keyboard replaced and it still does it then I'm not sure whats going on, I'm guessing it is your keyboard though. These fail due to pressure overtime on the cable directly under the spacebar. It attaches to the keyboard right beneath the keyboard almost and can wear overtime or come unseated or torn slightly causing the keyboard to fail, either that or if you have complete failure the ground contacts may have bent slightly causing the keyboard to fail too. Lemme know what you find out.
Yesterday as I was leaving work I noticed a new icon on my default (home) desktop called Android. I didn't put it there and have no idea how it got there. When you tap it, it opens a window with like 8 android system icons, txt, settings, ect. Its kinda handy I suppose but not really needed, but I'm really curious where the heck it came from. Anyone else see this on their device?
Sounds like a folder rather than a shortcut? Never seen it before and it's not one of the default folders either.
Yeah I think you're correct. All those functions I usually do from the (LP) dock, and its like the phone decided I use those enough that I need a dedicated folder!!?? Nothing else has changed, the first place I looked was "About Phone", everything is as it was before. Weird!
Edit: also I have LP set to not have text labels for any icons, but this one does say "Android", jesus phone indeed, ha!
Edit: Oh, and the graphic is a generic gray cellphone.
Screenshot??
Sure when I get home and have access to my computer/SDK
SDK? Looking at the spec list you don't need it?
You are aware you can use screenshot apps with root, right?

Not sure about the Android shortcut/icon, but the second screen looks similar to the popup that shows when you hold the home button. (recent activities list)
Looks like one of the default Folder Organizer items, do you have that installed? If so, you probably added the widget while it was in your pocket or something. I'd be less worried about your phone and start wondering if your leg is becoming self aware!

Bingo!! Its a widget selection for a program I have called App Organizer, having said that, it takes four (specific) keypresses to get it to a place where I never put icons. I always leave my default home screen devoid of any clutter, (except time), for viewing cool wallpapers.
So I guess I'm back to, did this program just decide, without any interaction from me to put an icon on my desktop? Certainly not earth shaking, but a little bit irritating having some guy behind a monitor deciding how I should use my device.
In the scheme of things theres probably a lot more than less of this going on behind the scenes than I can see, lol.
Thanks for the replies/help clearing this up!
