I have the same problem as yours. Is this a bug in Diamond because I haven't had this before with my Tytn II?

type "william" then press and hold the space key to get a " " (space); then type "b" to get wiliam beta.
press space key without holding it will select willam apple in your example.

i too feel it should, but, either the feature is not there or I've not found the correct procedure to get the list.

yes...press Menu->Check Names. OK?

Guys, what you are all refering too is the famous t9 bug. (already in TytnII diamond ROM releases)
Look for "disable t9" cab , run it and use original (not Diamond) keyboard and you'll see ALL names when one or two or more letters are typed.
You will also have word completion / suggestion running than.
it is a workaround as there seems to be no full solution yet to have all names visible with t9 enabled in Diamond KB mode

Press the left or right or down button to see another contact.

I have been searching about this issue and only managed to find this thread. Has this by any chance been solved? It is annoying me to no end. The Left or right button press dows not do it for me!
If I have "Adam Alpha" and "Adam Beta" in my contacts list there seems to be NO WAY to choose Adam Beta except through the add recepients function in the menu. On my old touch, I used to be able to add receipients by simply typing the first few letters of a contact and the list of contact options would show up! This sux so bad now! If I type in the name, there is simply NO way at all to get "Adam Beta"...you can only get Alpha!
Grrrrrr.... Using that cab and the WM keyboard is not a solution for me....I need a thumb capable solution....

Have you tried the check names option in Menu?

Thanks save ferris....I didn't realize that option was available....helps. However, it is still two keypresses longer than before. You have to press menu, and then check names....before, if you just typed in Ada, the names/options would show up to choose from immediately....
It seems to be a step backwards in design to me. I was just wondering if there was some kind of potential registry fix to show more options...

keyboard / texting questions

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...

Messages name auto complete

Ok, so when I used to start typeing a contacts name in the 'to' field of message, it would give me a list of names or numbers after putting in a few letters or numbers. Now I have to put in a couple letters/numbers and then go to check name. Anyone have any idea how i turned this off.

try this:
u want to send sms to Johny, start typing to the name field "Jo" and then push the space bar on your keyboard, an option of the possible names should pop up at the bottom.

ok, now I feel a bit retarded, don't remember doing that before, but guess it was. Thanks.

Have loaded any new touch keyboards to your device. For me, that feature will stop working after I add any new keyboards. It will come back for a bit after a soft reset, but then it goes away again. Once I remove the offending keyboard, then it works again... I wish I could have both.
I have a similar problem if I use large title bar. When its loaded, the roller wheel on the side no longer controls call volume... Again, wish I had both!

You should't have to enter a space to get the options. It should appear as your typing.
As mentioned above if you installed a keyboard from another device, such as the Touch or Diamond, with T9/XT9 you will lose this auto complete and word suddgestion. There is a disable XT9 cab witch will give you the auto complete and word suddgestion back, but cause the non defult keyboards to enter number only, no letters. it that is the case you have to decide witch is more important to you.
Did you install another keyboard? or did it just stop working as it had?

I will agree that the Installation of Customer SIPs like PCMKeyboard or something else will interfere with this..

yes, but its the workoround if u have installed other sips. I dont hyave this isue and have resco keybord installed, so that one is not causing the issue.

Correct, but I was just replying to him saying:

because he shouldn't feel stupid, because he did't have to do it previously.

"videocall" soft key replaced with the "contacts" shortcut? (CAB.FIX)

"videocall" soft key replaced with the "contacts" shortcut? (CAB.FIX)
New rom 1.93.707.1, replaced the "contacts" soft key with the "video call"...
Can this be fixed via registry change and replace the "videocall" soft key with the "contacts" shortcut?
K

Theres a couple of other posts around for this but I dont think anyone could find a fix for it. I for one find it a nuisance as well!

Maybe I found a solution:
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=1145559&postcount=4
Because my english is very bad, I hope somebody else can translate the info from german into english.

Start --> Contacts
I simply use Start Menu ---> Contacts instead.
Both take 2 clicks to get to contacts, hence we can't insist that one approach is better than the other.
Even in other phones (like my old Nokia N70) when you click on call button, it'll take you to list of dialled calls. Not to contacts. If you want to open contacts to make a call in N70, you'll have to click (ooops, press) the 'contacts' button on the home screen.
Here, the diamond takes u to recently dialled numbers when you click the phone link (or che call button). So it's the same.
+ it'll automatically list contacts after the end of dialled calls.
you can rotate your finger around central round button for scrolling.
Hence I should say this is indeed a feature, not a bug.

Anyone tried the reg fix, does it work?

It is not al reg-fix, it's a 3 Files-Fix
People are lazy, many downloads but only one report, a user in the german ppc-welt-forum reports it works fine with "mossis-rom" (a cooked german rom).
I self use the fix with the HTC 1.93-ROM and i found no problems so far.
But where is the risk? If there are any problems, delete the three files, softreset your diamond and everything will remain unaffected.

From GOOGLE
"AW: In video mode phone call disable
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------
Quote:
Quote from SYD
The video call I would like against the "contacts replaced.
Please someone knows the registry entry so that I can change.
Unfortunately, this is a Reg-entry is not done, the softkey is a DLL "Hartverdrahtet."
Possibly. This is a solution to the problem (I'm still the only "beta testers" - therefore experience needed!):
HotFix order at O2 or HTC Diamond with the firmware 1.93 the softkey again to video call back to confirm contacts:
http://rapidshare.com/files/154176504/Phone193_fix2.zip
Attention:
I have all the popular variations, incoming call, outgoing calls, switch on Hold / speakerphone so tested and so far no errors are detected, but nothing goes beyond a broad "field test" - so please post experience.
Application:
The zip and unzip the three files (excluding the Info.txt) in the Windows directory, then reboot the Diamond.
Undo:
The three files and delete the Diamond restart. If the deletion is not possible, helps the following trick: The three rename files (eg with vorrangestelltem "_" So from phcanhtc.dll _phcanhtc.dll), the Diamond restart - then the files can be erased"

Works for me
@Martinhdk: Funny translation ;-)
The fix works for me (German Xda Diamond pro).
You have to replace 3 ROM files because the soft-key is hard-coded in a dll.
You may have to stop cprog.exe (the phone) in a good task manager to remove the lock on the files.

I've just reflashed a stock 1.93 ROM to my phone and applied the three files contained in the .zip file and confirm that it works! No more Video Call softkey on the phone!
Now if someone can turn those files in to a cab that would be brilliant!

When I copy file "phcanhtc.dll" in Windows directory via ActiveSync "Access file denied" occures. Even with TotalCommander can I not change Read-Only-attribute. Any idea?

You could try this cab I made of the relevant changes. Remember to soft-reset afterwards.
EDITED ON 29/12/2008: NB this cab does not work if you are using the Slide to Answer/Ignore Phone Canvas (see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464286), as although it restores the Contacts softkey it disables the slide to answer functionality.

Perfect, thanks very much!!

TouchPal 3.5 and HTC Diamond = incompatibility !!!

Does anyone else have the following problem ?:
When you go to the SMS tab, and press the small box to start writing new SMS, if you use the original Diamond keyboard, you can just type a few letters of your contact and it will fully appear. If you use TouchPal (I'm using version 3.5), this feature is disabled, you have to type your entire contact name every time, it doesn't recognize the first few letters and try to find a match. This is SO annoying !
Please tell me there is some workaround...

Could it be that the Diamond's original keyboard stores all the contact information in the Keyboard dictionary ?, if this is true, it means no keyboard apart from Diamond's original will allow quick find of contacts in SMS...

no problem with me..
say for eg you wanna call "home"
just press H O and enter and then it will detect home in my contact.
i suspect the problem may be.. touchpal "store" what you pressed in its own list instead of going up to the SMS directly..

Same problem. Would love to see an solution, but I think there is none...

Wizard,
Do you have the Touchpal keyboard ???

its free for personal use available online..

The contacts don't display when you start typing, but if you only type a few letters and then press send a page appears with all contacts that have the letters you've typed in their names. You can then tap the contact you wish to send to.
I don't find it a problem.
