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.
Hi,
I've been looking for the answer but couldn't find any. This is very annoying for me.I use S2u2 and when I pick up an incoming call with a button or slider after the call the dialer is still on and Phone locks automatically(with dialer on). I have to unlock S2U2 close dialer and lock the phone again- this drives me crazy. Any solution will be appreciated.Thanks in advance for any help with this...

Yeah it annoys me too. I use S2U2 as well and I hate that both the dialer and the contact list don't close after I made a call or receive one. The registry solution from the other thread doesn't work with the TF3D dialer.

Have you tried Advanced Config > Phone > End Call Delay? I haven't myself so I don't know if it's the time it takes to disconnect the call or the time it takes to close the dialer. Worth a try.
No, that's the time it takes for the phone to end your call after pressing the end-call button. Which is ridiculous, when I press the button I want to end it immediately .
I agree. Of what purpose could it possibly be to delay the end of the call?!? I mean if you could recover from accidentally hitting the end key that would be one thing. But you can't so any delay is just plain stupid AFAICT.
You can also use Advanced Config to turn off the silly animations and sounds at start up or shutdown. They also do little else but make start up and shutdown longer...
I've switched to the WM default dialer now, as was suggested in this thread, let's see if it it works for me. I liked the HTC dialer though .

I've also tried that and it works but that's not a solution.WMs dialer sucks, keys are small and poor responsible for touch.Anyway I don't like WMs dialer. I don't understand why this reg tweak works with some roms but with some doesn't ;/. Hope it will be fixed in next official rom or somebody from XDA will find a solution for this annoying issue.As U guys sad when I press end button i wanna end immediately ,not in 5 sec!.
I now use the phonecanvas cab for my Diamond, so I don't have to use S2U2 anymore. But I believe this only works with the HTC dialer.
So does anyone have a solution for this problem? I really need it
Since we don't have a common source of this new TF3D and every cooks have it's own implementation. I think it's better to centralize the bugs and fixes discussion to collects all the brain power/knowledge here to get this puppy stabilize.
Current base: TF3D2 from Topaz rom
Read the following rules before you filed a bug:
This thread is not about how to install TF3D and assume you got TF3D installed and working
This thread is intended to get TF3D working as what it should be. Go somewhere else for Mod/Customization, and how to do this and that.
Make sure you got Opera 9.5 installed as many features rely on it.
Read the existing list first before you file a new one.
Only report reproducible bug w/ details/steps to reproduce (Don't report any random crash/bug that you cannot even reproduce it)
You are welcome to report any existing bug that is not happening on you so that we could look into the diffs
Fixed Bug list (fixes in the attached zip file):
TF3D show HTC logo but won't start: Missing htcDutils.dll
Camera button don't start: Use the Camera package from Rhodium
"My contact card" in setting is not working / call history crash ..etc: Missing httpclient.dll
"Use Camera" in "Edit Contact Card" brings up video recording instead of picture taking: Set HD Camera Apps as the default camera apps.
"Sim card not ready" error for SMS message (call history > call entry > Messages tab): Missing CommManagerDll.dll
"Key Lock" status is not saved after soft-reset. Fixed w/ latest Rhodium packages (don't remember exactly which). Current workaround is change it in registry.
Existing bug list:
Sms reader tab can show only 25 messages (I cannot confirm it since I don't have that many SMS msg)
TF3D Panel is not working. PM Pubba already to see if he could help

Hmm weather shows up in weather tab on my rom. Did you set your city in the clock settings area? I think thats what causes it to work
weather shows up in your B3 as well Itje.
It's set exactly as Bxsteez says, you have to change the location in the clock..
I can not get it to change to farenhiet though. Oh well something is better than nothing

Quick question on this. This is for the camera button in the pictures tab or the hardware camera button?

Yeah sorry I didn't even realise it was a problem that one, until I saw this thread as I was playing with it earlier on today, I presumed it was common knowledge.
BXsteez, I think that's for the camera button in the photos tab.
So the camera application is called camerarunner.exe and i should rename camera.exe to camerarunner.exe

Bxsteez, that's right. U can rename Skype.exe to camera.exe to have it called Skype instead in the Photo & Camera tab.
Ok cool. I have another little thing i want to do if someone can make me the cab.
If i'm reading the files in the keyboard package correctly we can actually edit how the keys are mapped and how hardware recognizes them. There is a file that is called et9.rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt that basically seperates each row of keys and tells u what happens when u press the funciton key. If someone still has the keyboard cab that was removed we can test out my theory.
**EDIT**
I found the cab and it looks like i was right. We might have a nice keyboard fix coming soon.

Thx mate, but I mean the contact tab which makes some problems. Itje said, that he fixed this issue.
Can someone tell me, which function has a Start recording item under the right menu in Phone application? I see this on my Diamond2 with official 1.39.479.1 ROM, but when I try to click on it (during active phone call), than this button don´t do anything.
Is it forgotten function from HTC?
Yep ... didn't notice it but it's there (Dutch version)
Maybe it's reserved for the Touch pro 2 ?
I think it's for recording voice notes after the call.
Shame, I'd love to be able to record a call at the touch of a button!
R
I expect it will be included in the Touch Pro2 ROM ...
If it is, it won't take too long before there's a cab version on these forums for the TD2

You can! I just did it. During a call you go to the notes section of the contact and there will be a red recording button at the bottom. The only downside is that it is not attached to the contact, but is placed in "My documents" and "calls". I wish it would be easily accessible under the specific contact's notes.
I tried this but it only records my side of the conversation (was using headphones - if that makes any difference). I also saw the greyed-out 'record call' button on the right menu. It would be AWESOME to get this working!
Yes, it is possible to record conversations, with both incoming and your own voice!!!!
Some guys found a way to patch the Registry so you can record conversations 2-ways.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493118
I have installed the 2_Way_Plus_InCall_Recording cab from the last link and installed Resco Audio Recorder, it perfectly records all my conversations automaticly!!!
Without Resco Audio Recorder or other extra software you can also record manually by pressing the record option in the dialer menu.
The files will be saved in mydocuments/notes

No, here it still works, but sometimes my phone changes settings by itself, so maybe it has been changed by itself?
No need to play with the registry, the call needs to "connect" for the grayed out "start reording" is able to be pressed, mine records both ways and it ends after the call ends.

***UPDATE: user Kayla has provided a workaround until a predictive dialer is included, press green call button then press mag button, its a QWERTY keyboard search but its still the fastest with 2 button pushes to make your call ***
searched in forums but didnt find an answer to this:
2.1 with htc hero cdma meant you could push the green call button and the dialer would come up. with CM6 now the call log comes up. not helpful.
also, and more importantly, the green button used to bring up your contacts and dialer pad but the dialer pad served to quickly narrow your search for your contact.
meaning if i click the call button i then click the number 6 and the first name that comes up is Michelle followed by Mike etc etc..
now the dialer pad only dials numbers.
to search your contacts i have to push the green button > click on contacts tab > press the menu button > click search contacts > use dialer pad that only shows ONE and half darkly lit results.
?? any ideas?
i am LOVING the removal of my dialer lag i used to have with 2.1.. and i'm loving the speed overall. but this is a deal breaker man. two pushes turned into five just to make a call. also, no way to bind what my green button does?
thanks

Well, I know at least a slightly faster way to search is press the green dialer button, press the Contacts tab, then long press the Menu button and the keyboard pops up where you can search. Still kind of sucks though.
I do miss the predictive dialer but i've learned to deal with it
I use dialer one from the market.

I believe you can also press the search button and type the name of your contact. Or even better, long press and use the voice dialer to dial the contact directly.

This is actually what I do. Download Voice Dialer from the market (made by google, only works on froyo), long press the search button and say "Call [insert name here] Mobile." There's a bunch more things you can do with it, watch this video with a ton of stuff you can do with it.
right well these are all useful but they are not a solution.
for example, pushing 5 buttons to make a phone call is a step down from STOCK 2.1
also, using voice talk every time to phone someone is a no go. i can think of many instances where i dont want to announce who i am calling to my wife.
(oh i am faithful dont think that way)
and finally, the search feature includes EVERYTHING not just contacts, so M shows michelle and mike but also MSN and mikes hard lemonade. your rebuttal would be "but you can choose what search looks for" thats right and i actually use it alot.. so i dont want to limit it just to contacts because of the other times i need it and because someone failed at designing a phone to actually be a phone first and foremost.
what i found was a workaround provided by Kayla in the irc hero cdma channel:
click green button then click magnifying class button, and you can search your contacts only using a qwerty keyboard. it aint as fast as the dialer but its a damn improvement down to 2 button pushes!
if anyone else has a better solution please post. thanks!
(oh and dialer one isnt bad, its not themed correctly for 2.2/ cm6 but it aint bad...i might switch idk.)
... I believe your solution there is exactly what wjason said. The "magnifying glass" button IS the search button, and notice he told you to hit the search button. Or long press to dial by voice command. I like it better than finding contacts by t9 dialing, myself.
Obviously I'm just adding fuel to the fire here and not anything helpful....but this is one of the biggest reasons I still stick with Sense. I like its dialer and contacts MUCH better than the AOSP ones.
That's why I thought Ic3Rom was such a genius ROM in my opinion -- the speed and 'bloatlessness' of AOSP but it had the Sense/HTC dialer and contacts built into it. Too bad Mdawg isn't still dev'ing that one.
Sorry, not intending to threadjack. Carry on...

no thats incorrect. jason only mentioned using the mag button and not green button first then mag button combo. theres a distinction there.
the mag button alone brings up EVERYTHING , its just a plain ol google search. too many results. see my above post about this issue and why its not efficient.
to chromiumleaf:
so that rom is no longer in development? crraaappp.
anyone have any ideas on how to port over his dialer, or ANY sense dialer that is still lag free as the AOSP? my whole reason for rooting and flashing was for the dialer lag.. it was stupid waiting 20 seconds for a call to connect. but now i've lost the efficient method of calling people.
and yes people (including in the irc channel) are saying "boo hoo go cry" etc etc... but thats really ****ing stupid.. 5 button pushes to make a call without voice? i think people forget this is A PHONE first and foremost.
anyways, the green button and then mag button combo are the best solution, albiet a workaround for now.
dialer one still contains lag for me so that options out.

When I first switched to AOSP, I missed HTC's dialer a lot....then I found Dialer One. Orders of magnitude better, my friend, orders of magnitude. It is just as smooth and functional as HTC's with far more customization. For instance, I like having my wallpaper as the background for EVERYTHING. My apps in the app drawer appear over my wallpaper, and when I dial, the contacts and their numbers do, too. Being able to easily edit the color of the text in the dialer means that this works with virtually any wallpaper. There is not one thing that I have found that HTC's dialer does better. Nothing. Not integration, not smoothness, not reliability, not speed...NOTHING.

u dont experience any lag on the htc hero? i experience some lag when haptic feedback/ vibration was enabled that turned me away. i tried it once the hero cdma got 2.1 and i saw no difference in lag, then i saw slightly less with 2.2 / cm6, but still.. i need no lag when my phone needs to be a phone and not surf the web. meaning calling people.
idk. i might try an alternative kernel to see if it helps with the dialer one lag.
