HTC Home: Missing Contact Tab

At some point in the past few days HTC Home stopped displaying the Contacts/Favorites tab. I am (and have been) using HTC Home Customizer and I see Contacts as a choice on the Tabs setting and have selected (and de-selected several times) it but it still won't display the tab on the home screen.
I tried re-installing HTC Home but no joy...
Any and all thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. I'm hoping someone can share their registry entries for HTC Home and/or Contacts?

Did you install one of the TouchFlo/Biotouch Cube installation cabs? They add a registry key that hides the contacts from HTCHome

^^^ If you did
i had the same problem and this worked

I did (unsuccessfully) and the registry tweak above fixed it.
Thank you all!!!!

ZILLA - thanks, couldn't remember the exact registry value off hand ... didn't have time to look it up at that point
gregeast - glad to hear that fixed it. Sorry you didn't get the cube working ... it's not an easy install at this point, but pretty cool when you do get it working.

Thank the lawd! It works! I've been searching and reinstalling for a week.

Nice thanks

Where do you find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial on the unit, have searched loads of directorys but couldn't find it to delete it?

Well sounds stupid, but you really looked in the Registry and not the File Structure? It is exactly there under MASD....

You have to use Regedit program and to search you have to search for QuickDial
not the whole thing. If you cant find a registry editing program, I think you are out of luck.

Calendar always starts in month view?

I'm using a T-mobile MDA vario-iii with the standard calendar applicaition.
Whenever I start the calendar it always starts in month view, despite the fact I have the option to start it in Agenda view? Can anyone else test this and tell me if there's behaves correctly please?
I've almost had it with this clunky device

yes, never had a problem with calendar settings....sorry for my wrong post above...which ROM you're using ?

Had the same problem and I managed to fix it but I can't 100% remember how. I think I used an app for changing the soft buttons to repoint the soft key to the Calendar.lnk in the organiser folder in the start menu. That fixed it.
The problem I had only effected the calendar if launched from the soft key, not from the program menu.

Standard ROM it came with which is
1.56.110.4
Is that bad?
I had to disable the bundled F-secure AV, responsiveness seems to have picked up since doing that.
thanks
D

Did you find a solution to this prob?
I've got the same issue.....no matter what I set my default Calendar view to, it always opens in month view from the soft key. If I open the Calendar from the start menu then it will open in whatever default view I've set.

Right soft key

Hi i have a kaiser on Uk orange. the right soft key says 'Go To ...' ttry as i may i can not change it at all. i have tried FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx, Key swop, Advanced Config and even editing the registry at Hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\today\keys\113 (where they have two extra keys called 'mem1' and 'mem2'.) however whichever method i try the key always resets itself back to 'Go To'
Does anyone have any ideas how i can try and change it at all?
Cheers

Thats strange, I always use advanced config for that and its working like a charm.

if youur on orange chances are youve got that crappy side bar on. go to settingsstart - settings - today - go to the second tab laballed ITEMS then untick the orange item. when you go back to your today screen contacts should be on the right

Yeah that did it cant believe how long it has taken to find that out, however is there any way i can get the sidebar back (not necessarily that one but an alternate one) as its really useful to have that stuff on the screen.

I am what? Um, I am slow today but I dont get this. I have some HTC Home cabs yeh but havent released any in my corner. Only thing I have there is a hotfix for Leo`s V9 who was bugging some of the light users thats all.

sorry wait hold up
i was telling the thread starter to read the wiki and i also wanted him to consider htc home for what he now needs. and i was asking you if you have htc home in your corner

Aha! I follow now, after a cup of coffee and youre explenation its all good
About the HTC Home, no I dont have it in my corner. I have some modified Diamon style tweaked for some of the dialers but havent made a cab of it since there is floating several around in here already. I might whanna have a go skinning one if I come up whit a kewl idea though. I am working on a SPB Theme atm (well not now, vacation atm. But will continue that project once back home), after that I have planned to make a cab/guide whit a nice theme for ultimatelaunch. And I also have promised a icon pack and some animations and on top of that I am eager to get back and work whit Leo on future projects. So it is kinda tight program for hobby timeline, but if you got a certain wish you could request it in my corner and who knows what happends from there and out

cool. it was just to show edblack in the right direction

Unfortunately hit "send"

Hallo
I'm tired of all the the time hitting "send" by mistake when I'm typing a sms.
Does there exist a tweak so you need to hold the send bottom in for a while for it to send? So you can't press it quick..

The right notice
I have suffered from this when using extra thingie to enter (exotic) estonian letters like äüöõšž and if the device slows down a bit there (it happened just few times) then I notice that I unfortunately have pressed Send because the softbutton just had another function

Turn off TF3D! ;O)

Better solution:
FingerKeyboard 2.1 (search in Forum)
1. You get a better keyboard.
2. If you want, the keyboard covers the windows bar including the button "Send". You have to tap the keyboard away to push "Send". Works like a charm.

I just can't see the point in this...
The problem is with the softkey bar... Why do you suggest turning off TF3D ?

What is yours?

Don't use the 3DFO message. Simple as that.
I never use that, just the built in outlook to send text messages.
In fact I disabled the 3Dflo plugin in today and I'm using right now the standard today with all the plugins that I want.

Something's wrong with your device.
Maybe a hard reset is required.
