Cannot change the homepage "background/wallpaper" anymore - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
whatever background/wallpaper I select it has no effect on my Diamond anymore. It's impossible to change it.
When I select a new one I can see it for a moment after a soft reset, but after 1 second the old background appears again (BTW it's one of the standard backgrounds that came with HTC rom).
I think one of the sowtwares I installed is causing this problem, I've tried to uninstall many of them, but nothing happened.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much in advance.

I guess you changed the Windows Mobile Today screen wallpaper. TF3D uses it's own wallpaper, because it's a Today plug-in and acts as a shell op top of the Today screen. Try TF3D - Settings - Wallpaper. This will set your TF3D wallpaper. Good luck!

How to setup keyboard?

I really don't understand because of all the screen shots I have seen but today I got my diamond and I only have the double keyed keybord ,but I want the full,usally in the screens shots there is a boten that you press and it changes the keybord.But i don't have it,so I went to settings keyboard and tried changing it to full qwerty,but no luck,can anyone help?
There should be a triangular looking icon next to the keyboard icon when you are in texting/email/document/etc mode. You click that icon, then a list pops up for you to select the input method.
I'd like to think that you've looked through the included instruction manual...
Thanks man,a minute after a posted this thread a have read the manual ,so Im embarrassed to say sorry for posting this

Might not work.. but just a suggestion, try it out if you have the time.
Recalibrate the screen.
Start - Settings - System
Screen
It's a long shot.. but hey.. you never know what might work.
tried that...
Hi LordRaj...
I tried that, but still no luck...
If I go to Start > Settings > Input, then I can see the list of keyboards. No matter which one I select it *always* puts it back to "keyboard".
not sure why, i'm using standard ROM that came with the phone.
help!

I have the same problem and there's another thread on this subject. There seems to be a few people now with this but no solution yet. If you look on the other thread, there is a utility called SIPChange which will allow you to make sure you get the "right" keyboard you want as default but in terms of selecting from the little arrow, forget it (until someone can work out which registry entries are causing this).

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply...
I have been trying to figure it out all day...
Hi Gents, did anyone get this to work, I have also tried sipchange with the same results, it won't stick to any other keyboard other than diamond or builtin

when you say it won't stick, do you mean it changes back after a soft reset? I had that trouble with my current ROM but sipchange fixed it. try increasing the loading delay in sipchange.
I use TouchPal now which sets itself as default just fine - and I can't imagine needing any other keyboard again!

Thanks Davey101, tried the default 10secs, then 20secs and it did not work, after your advice I switched to 30sec and softReset, then 40sec the same affect.
Then I remembered in my Apache their was always a sipchange shortcut in Startup and when I checked the Diamond their was none, so I created one with the Set parm as my Apache, softreset and I am good to go.

zooming on Opera

Goodmorning to all of you...
I'm having a question..I have a compact IV now for a couple of weeks which is now fully customized with an original stock ROM from HTC but since a few days i'm not able to zoom with Opera..
what I mean is that when I search for a mobile website, it will open, but I can't zoom in or out with tapping on the screen...I already looked into the settings and that should be ok..the mobile view option is enabled...
I'm also using Advanced Config..had that something to do with this??
I hope somebody could help me with this, maybe i'm not the only one with this problem!
Thanxx everybody in advance
Jeroen
is there somebody who can help me with this???
not just you
i can't use it too !
Have you tried a soft reset?
Mostly when I have a problem this is solved by a soft reset.
Also turning off and on wil help often to problems that occur after some time.

Can you zoom by using the "wheel"? I mean by using a circular motion with your finger around the center button?

No, i'm not even able to use the wheel.. and a soft reset also doesn't work either.. also some text on the right hand side of the screen isn't aligned..maybe I can make a screenshot of it...
Which rom do you use? This might be the problem.
Remember when it worked for the last time?
If yes think about what you did after.
Maybe you installed a program which causes this.
Try to uninstall the program or programs if you did.
When you installed more then one delete one after each other and remember which program did make the problem to your browser and post it here.

at this moment i'm using the original HTC stock rom v1.37 Europe edition, i've installed Advanced Config and that's all....i might try another hard reset but I would prefer another method to get rid of this annoying problem...
1.37
Why not go to 1.93 its much faster and smoother.
This might also solve your problem.
Grtzzz
Pirtje...as for the text overflowing on right side...Opera sometimes does not reposition text that are in tables of more than one cell (and possibly other times as well). If those items are in a table, that is most likely the cause.

I might do that later...because I don't have an version which I can use, because I have a mda Compact IV which is Hard spl-ed 1.40 but can't upgrade to 1.93..
at least...don't know how to manage that...
Check that you have not got a tick in the 'mobile view' in settings. You can't zoom when that is checked.

I have the same problem and I'm sure, first it was possible to zoom in mobile view for me. When I zoomed in this mode the site zoomed in and text was broken to the new format after a few seconds. Now it is in fact only possible without mobile view, but this is not very usefull for me, because text is will not be reformated in this mode. Don't know what happend.
first uncheck the mobile view box......and then anywhere on the website double tap the screen and this will zoom in automatically and then start using the wheel to zoom in or out etc....this will auto format the text to fit the screen......the catch is to "double tap" on the screen first before using the scroll wheel otherwise the scroll wheel will not auto format the text to fit the screen......

Perfect - this works!

Home tab blank??

Well, to start out, thank you all for this excellent resource that is XDA-Developers, without which I'd be left virtually without a clue.
I have an ATT Fuze that has had light modifications to it (skip the bloat, advance config tweaks to my preference but no performance tweaks yet) and I tried to add the call history tab using Advanced Config 3.3.0's Touchflo3d configuration page.
Bad idea.
My phone no longer displays the Home tab's contents (it shows the tab, but nothing on the screen--no flip clock, alarm status, nothing).
In my infinite wisdom, I neglected to backup the 26948339_manila file before I allowed Advanced Config to mangle it.
I have tried the following:
soft-resetting the phone
using winmerge to check the diff between my file and other people's 26948339_manila file
installing the 1d1ee*something*_manila file that was supposed to enable the call history tab
Interestingly enough, I don't think the problem lies in my 269*whatever*_manila file, as it doesn't seem to be much different than those posted on the 'net' (but maybe that's the problem, since I have a Fuze and the Advanced Config tool corrupted it.)
Attached is my 269..._manila (I give up trying to type that over and over) file that doesn't work. Is there anyone who can help me or at least point me in the right direction? I'm so sad that I killed my clock... it's the most useful feature of my phone!
Thank you soo much in advance!
Update: I've tried more people's 26948339_manila files still with nothing working...
What other files does Advanced Config change when you edit the tabs?
I may have to hard reset my precious device, but I'd really hate to have to do that..
Please help?
Thank you again
I think skipping the bloat will give you problems with TF3D from what I heard. There are files that need to be installed.

Try loading Diamond TF3D Config and then click the "Restore Default" button in the Appearance tab. That should return your TF3D to the default without a hard reset.
Okay, I didn't wanna mess with that since I have a custom TF3D theme (HTC Black) installed... but at this point I figure there's nothing left to lose.
Thank you! I'll try that as soon as I get home (I took my other phone today... didn't wanna try hacking it during class
Update: ITS ALIVE AGAIN!!
Thank you INTV for your suggestion, it seems to have cured my Fuze!
I'm going to hold off on installing my manila theme (HTC Black) again because it has some issues with the landscape shortcuts and other miscellaneous things... is there a theme that looks like the Touch Pro stock theme that is recommended?
Once again-- thank you for your help!

Herg's HTC Flip Clock theme seems to be the most popular HTC Black theme for the Fuze. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056

When i change the wallpaper on my touch viva (running Evo.2) the wallpaper never fits the screen properly, i use the correct resolution but the wallpaper seems to be in something similar to "tile" mode on pc, what would be the bottom of the picture ends up in the middle.
i use the correct resolution of 320*240.
thanks guys.

You have to remember that this isn't a Free App.
Try using the A_C S2V program, it's a freeware.. Give it a try.
If it doesn't work for you, I suggest taking this problem to the Evo2 thread and ask the author about it.
Good luck.
