Is there a way to customize comm manager (change from 6 button to 10 or change the buttons--replace data connection with 3G) other than using Advanced Config. I can do it through Advanced Config but wondered whether there was another way to do it on the fly that I am missing. Thx.
Did you try looking into the stickied thread at the top of the forum that has all the cab files??
There's a 10 buttom comm manager right there.
I know. I am looking for a utility that switches from the 10 to the 6 or changes the order of the buttons on the 10 or 6. Maybe I am not explaining it well enough ....
Why would you want to change between the two? The 10 button has it all, including disabling data connection and 3G?
Aesthetics. The 6 button on/off looks good with certain themes/roms. Not a huge issue. I guess not a big demand for it.
If you use Kaiser Tweak you can customize the Comm Manager (doesn't change from 6 to 10 buttons or vice versa) but you can re-order the buttons. Give it a shot.
Got it. Thanks.
... Is there anyone that found a way to make the 10-buttons CommManager "dpad-friendly" ?
It's so annoying : you can navigate the homepage of your PDA with the dpad, and then start the commmanager... and there : you're stuck !
Have to touch the screen to choose any of the items (wireless, data, bluetooth...)

Yeah, because it's SUCH a pain to point your finger at the screen and push.
Wow, it's amazing the things people complain about.
If I took your logic, I would ask why Kaiser has a hard-keyboard ? It's so easy for ppl to press the screen
...
I have the aluminum case, and the screen is behind a hardglass !
So you can give a try if you want... but I'd bet your won't even bend the glass.
You didn't say you had a hard case, did ya? I don't have one and I don't know anyone that does. Everyone I know uses the stylus on the screen, just like it's supposed to be used.
Just use AEB to assign a hardkey, I use the windoz logo key, double press toggles BT power, tripple toggles WiFi. You get the picture.
I'll give a try to AEB (my Win button is already reassigned, same for the camera button which triggers the CommMgr...)

Like I said, why would people buy a phone with real keyboard, as there's already onscreen keyboard... That's exactly same scenario.
My question was not about "how could I reeducate myself", but how to turn this smartphone into something even smarter...
Even the ComMgr on the HTC Tornado can be manager from the joystick... (running WM5)
So it's a shame if HTC did remove this so simple thing as focus-ordered buttons...

You bought it, didn't you? Why did you buy it? I'll tell you why - it's one thing to have an on screen keyboard, it's a totally different thing to have a real, tactile keyboard with real keys to give your fingers feedback. You're comparing apples and oranges. Your logic doesn't fly with me, sorry. You can't touch-type with an on screen keyboard (i.e. type by feel).

LOL. Thanks for the laugh. You made my night.
The OP had a question, and I answered it. If it's not what he was looking for, then he should learn how to phrase his questions in a better way.
I don't apologize for my wording. I am short and to the point.
Lastly, some people will complain about anything and everything. You can't help that or change that.
Ok fine, so you're apparently upset about people asking for tips & tricks... Then I assume your Kaiser was just perfect as-is right ?
(...so I guess you kept the stock ROM untouched, and didnt apply any of the great XDA-dev patches/fixes then)
Anyone with a more constructive feedback, like maybe importing the CommMgr of a different HTC pdaphone ?
I have the Tilt with the stock AT&T ROM. It does everything I need it to. I have, however, applied many of the tweaks and fixes available here. I ask very few questions and do LOTS of reading. I read almost every thread in this forum looking for little tweaks to make my phone even better than it already is.
I have no problems with people asking questions. That is what this forum is for. What bugs me is people who post the same question over and over without reading ANYTHING. (not that I was referring to you)
I was trying to be a little sarcastic with my first reply, but I guess you took it the wrong way.
So then, if you said I was posting without reading anything ...
Do you mean you were able to find a way ? (finaly we'll get something constructive)
I am not really new to XDA-dev, so I know how searching the place works...
Unfortunately, neither the 6buttons nor the 10buttons CommMgr is able to do (apparently) what I'm trying to get.
Hence the post...
Well I highly doubt that you will be able to switch between the 6 and 10 buttom comm mgr. They are both cab installs and require a SR after install.
What about RemE's suggestion? Did you try that? You could also remap the PTT button.
P.S. I wasn't referring to you when I said people don't read before posting.
hi, when I open a new sms or email it opens but its scrolled down right to the end so I have to scroll up to view the start of the message.
Anyone got any ideas as to whats going on or how to fix this problem?
Thanks guys Really appreciate any help you can give on this.

Need to disable D-PAD navigation. Use KaiserTweak or AdvanceConfig.

Hi folks,
Nice one, thanks ecltech, its all back to normal now. It wasn't a huge problem but it was starting to get annoying. So I’m thankful for you helping me sort this out.
Grizzley, not sure what the link was supposed to point to, but it just brought up the advanced search form on google.
Cheers once again

That was the point Grizzley was trying to make - this issue has been asked several (countless times) and keeps getting reposted. He is trying to suggest searching for the answers to your questions before posting - chances are, 90% of your questions have already been answered (at least twice). The last post regarding this issue is on page 2 or 3 so wouldn't have taken much searching.
Sounds pedantic but that at least 1/3 of the 260-ish pages are repeat posts - would make the forum much easier to navigate if everything wasn't repeated so much.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. Guess you'll know next time....
Hi folks. Sorry if this question's been posted before, I did a search but came up with nothing.
Is there a way of changing the length which you have to hold the end key to trigger the Long Press End Key functionality? I'd quite like to shorten it, but there's nothing in the settings.
Cheers,
Pete

Come on, You obviously didn't search very hard. I did a quick search and found this post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402381
it was one of the first links which came up
Check it out. I didn't read the whole thread, but you should. You should not have created this thread, you should have searched and added to this one if there still isn't an answer posted. It would have revived the discussion perhaps if a solution has not already been reached. It may have, I don't know. Like I said, I didn't read the whole thread. Hope you find what you are looking for and good luck.
^but no answers
I also want it to be shorter.. by half or smt..
Keep an eye on S2U2 following this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/newreply.php?do=newreply&noquote=1&p=2498625
I know it might not be exactly what you are looking for, or it might be better. I am using it on my phone *(not a Diamond) and it is by far my favorite locking program.
A_C has been working on the problems with the Diamond and this program and I am sure he will find sollutions soon if he hasn't already. Keep an eye on it. (if you are looking for an easy way to lock your phone)
I am not very familiar with the Diamon and what you are using or want to use the long press end key for, so I can't be of much help. Sorry
I currently use S2U2 on my diamond with absolutely no problems. I have it mapped to the long press answer button.
Hi, guys!
I'm new to this forum and this is my first post.
At first I would like to thank everyone about the awesome solutions and answers to all diamond -related questions I've read on this forum but there is still one I'd like to get some help with:
When i go to my home screen it shows the clock and under it are calendar and call history. Personally I dont need the calendar so i was thinking is there any way to change these? or add more, example e-mails... I'd like to have as much functions at the home screen as possible so I wouldn't have to scroll around the phone all the time.
Thank you in advance!
