How do I make the phone silent and make it vibrate? I swear I think my phone is missing the instruction manual.
I know I can go into settings > Phone and make it vibrate from there , but is there a quick way to just make it silent if i go to the movies etc . ?
you can click on the speaker icon and move it to vibrate.
or download vibraswitch and assign it to a button
Hi
You can also tap the little speaker icon in the top right of the screen and select the vibrate radio button. This mutes the volume and activates the vibrate function.
Hope this helps.

Here is a cab for Vibraswitch if you are interested.
You can install this on your Kaiser and then go to Settings>Home>Buttons and assign one of the buttons to Vibraswitch. I assign Button 6 (Hold) so I can put the phone on vibrate without looking at the screen.
Hope that helps.
Wow thanks you guys are very helpful here. I am starting to like this forum.
Glad you found some help. I've been lurking here for ages and have decided that it's time I gave back some of the help I've recieved here over the years...
I also had one more question but figure I might as well ask here instead of make a whole new thread. I am trying to install the mini mozilla fire fox browser, but when I run the CAB, it says installation unsuccessful . Any idea on what I am doing wrong? I downloaded the cab right from the firefox site.

I couldn't get mine to run either...
So I just use Opera mini until the new Opera Mobile comes out.

I thought there was a version of vibraswitch that would toggle thru:
sound on - vibrate - mute
I have been searching for it, but I can not find it. Does it exist?
Please do not throw rocks at me. I tried searching in the forum and in google. Not sure if I'm wording it correctly. But anyway, when I'm using the QWERTY keyboard I'm having trouble w/ typing. I usually have to go by to some words and seperate them. I don't know if it's the speed of the keystroke that I should be worrying about or using more force pressing each key.
I hope I make sense.

Are you using a stock or cooked ROM? Try disabling the word suggest and XT9 (if your ROM supports it). I still have the occasional issue with misplaced spaces or double letters, but it's very minor.

I'm using a cooked ROM. It is a minor problem, but sometimes I don't like going back and fixing things. =/
I have a similar problem on my keyboard. The only complaint I have is that I use a clip on my Kaiser. They should have put the space bar a little bit higher because when I type I don't space so I end up writing like this..
Howw as yourd ay . Gets annoying because I have to go back and space and delete.
My major problem is, and i'll try to explain as best as I could.
On your PC keyboard, if you press the INSERT key and you press space it'll delete any words after. When I'm typing on my TILT i go to backspace and it won't let me. It could be in IE, WORD, text messaging etc. I have to highlight what I want to delete and then press the delete button. Sometimes if i'm typing and lets say I type "Educated" but I missed the "C". If I tap in the middle with stylus and try to type in the "C" it'll delete my "A","T", depending on how many times I press a button on my keyboard. Very annoying. Any fix.

Same EXACT issue. Thought I was retarded. Glad to hear that others are having the same issue.
Anyone have a a fix for this? It is EXTREMELY annoying. I'm using Dutty's April 29th 6.1 ROM.

I started having that issue sometime after mid-april. However, over the past few days I've been trying new roms out and I noticed that Laurentius26 May 19th rom and shogunmark May 23 deathv2 beta release hasn't had this issue. Therefore, I am making the assumption that it was either caused by a program i was installing, which I am not installing anymore (However, since others have this issue I cannot base my assumption on an application I was installing), or the problem is arising because of the builds that are/were being used.
I have tried countless roms.
I just noticed that the two roms I mentioned above both use At&t 19213 build
Btw LOL @ notatreofan being all nice and everything. Lol. Put a picture of a female as your avatar if you are going to create a "redundant thread". Lol not that this is redundant. JK about that avatar thing also.
Anyway, I've had Schaps 4.31 for a while first ROM i flashed been happy with it. I have to search for those two roms and see what they include. It bugs me because I have to type slow ass hell just to make sure it's accurate. I master typing while not looking and driving at the same time. It's a buzzkill. Help anyone!
I have been having the same issue in my Tilt. Using the Apr 29th dutty rom, and upgrading to the latest may 22nd rom seemed to have helped it a great bit. although still not gone completely. And all programs that were installed on the 29th rom and the 22nd rom are the same set. So it does seem to be a rom / radio issue.
The problems with slow keystrokes is usually in ROMS that have a XT9 keypad installed, such as one of dutty's hybrid ROMs or any with the new Diamond keyboard package. If you download and install the "disable xt9" cab that is around here on some ftps and such, it will solve the problem.
Thanks mZimm. Here's the link for anyone else who is having this problem.

I've always had XT9 disabled and still confronted this problem when using particular roms. Does that cab do the trick mviana?

rebandana,
That cab worked well for me. I just typed a little in Word Mobile and sent a text message. I'll report back a little later if you'd like.
Off topic, how is that Shogunmark ROM working out for you?
thanks everyone for you help & advice! trying out the cab now. * crossing fingers * hope this works!
Is there a way to do this so i can use T9 on the Diamond Keypad but disable T9 on hardware keyboard so i don't get the space lag?
Cheers

Hi, I'm still relatively new to using the diamond... (approx 2 weeks...)
This is my first WinMo phone also so I'm just trying to get use to it. My question is, does anyone find very little use for the Center Button on the Diamond? Don't get me wrong, I love the fact that around the button is a senstivity for autofocus and zooming, etc. But other then taking a shot with the phone I rarely use that middle button. Am I doing something wrong or if possible can someone tell me what else the center button can do because I'm still finding doing things on the Diamond a little bit slower... Thanks.

If you press and hold on a file for example you get the basic editing options such as paste, copy, delete, rename etc...
There are many other uses but I have to get back to work!! Im sure more members are gonna guide you.
Luck!
I mostly use it for zooming in and out while browsing.
it can be enabled to do scrolling for almost any app - search the forum and you will surely find it...
The centre button is essentially an 'action' button. If you notice that immediately north/south/east/west of it (on the ridged circle) there are softkeys you can press down to navigate and highlight whatever is on screen, depending on the context of what you are using (TF3D, file explorer, browser, etc) much like using the arrow keys on a standard pc. The centre button can then be used to 'select' the highlighted item much like tapping the stylus on it (or hold the button down like holding the stylus to get the context menu etc etc) this makes it easy to select things in a narrow list if you dont want to use the stylus and have fat fingers
Hope this goes some way to hint at what you can use it for!
It's good to get used to some hardware keys, this center button and navigating with 'arrow keys'.
It gets you more speedy and productive, using touchscreen is not ALWAYS the best, it's quite inaccurate (since I don't push always exact at the right spot). So on those moment it's very helpful to become familiar with the HW keys
edit: Oups, i'm not on the good topic ! Sorry
If a moderator can remove this post ...
actually i use the hardware buttons a lot, just cause i like the way they feel when i press them. i know, sounds weird, but hey, they do a hell of a job for me.
I used to play Worms a lot on my old Trinity, there was a problem mapping the keys at first until someone managed to create a save file with the right keys on it to suit the Trinity.
I am a complete noob though, so I don't know how to edit the Savefile to change the keys to suit the diamond. I've tried opening it with notepad (garbled) tried a hex-editor but i don't know what i'm looking for really.
I'm attaching the save file so hopefully some bright-spark on here could edit it to suit the diamond.. As only three buttons are needed, the volume buttons and back button should do just the job.
Hope someone can do it
The central button - fire; Vol- - jump; Vol+ - back

why cant i play very well worms on my diamond?
i downloaded the cab and all the hw buttons work very well, my poroblem is that most of the times the touch screen doesnt recognize when i click a button, for example at start it takes me ages so i can play because i click and it doesnt act like it should, in game if i choose another weapon on a worm, when i get to other worm it doesnt let me choose anymore, i believe this is due to the vga screen, care to comment?
Could you upload the WWP cab? I would also love to play it on my Diamond.

This issue is related to screen rotation. You probably have G-Sen installed. Add worms to the list of programs G-Sen should not rotate, in the G-Sen configuration file (just like it's done for manila).
thanks a million it works perfectly now this game is awesome
thanks for the help it never crossed my mind gsen was messing with it
While I'd be very glad to play Worms, the savegame just makes Worms crash back to the Application selection screen on my Diamond. Any thoughts on what that means, or should I just attach my save-game file?
thanx for the dat files...the game is really good...just wondering guyz...everytime i close the worms app on my diamond...i get an error report...is that normal:/?
Hello, maybe I'm stupid but how can I move and aim with worm? In menu it says with D-pad, but it doesn't work for me. (D-pad is that circle button right?)
Brilliant! Thanks very much for this
Can somebody explane me how to install this on Diamond. And does it work well ?
this is a great fix, THANK YOU!
but can a similer thing be done to remap the buttons in Tomb Raider? the game runs perfect on the Diamond but cant be played as the buttons need to be mapped
can anyone do this?
how do i install it?
can someone remap up and down to end call and start call? i have no up and down on my diamond
Is there a way to remap left hardware button to TouchFLO 3D home tab? I had a Diamond, was used to home button, and I want the XPeria left button to have the same behaviour.
It was hard for me to find that too, but then I realized that I can go to home tab by pressing the hang up button.
Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Buttons and map hw button of choice to "today".
Dont get me wrong, but was it really THAT difficult to just try and look for it by yourself on your phone?? It's not some fancy registry tweak..just a plain simple wm option as old as the world. Sometimes i wonder how many people buy a certain device "because it looks so cool" or "omg that ad is awesome!" and have actually NO IDEA of what's inside what they are buying...hope you don't fall within this category.

MacCarron, if you think I'm such a newbie and don't know what I'm doing, you are so wrong.
Wanna try something? Do what you said to me, map left button to "today". Now, in TouchFLO 3D, go to another tab, Internet, for example. Now press the left button, which you did happen to map to "today" (at least I hope so). What happens now? NOTHING!! In fact, that "today" is WM today. TouchFLO 3D is a plugin, so you can't assign home tab to left button.
Assign "today" to left button works different than Diamond's home button, which in fact was assigned to TouchFLO 3D home tab.
Anyway, thanks for (not) helping.
M.Ozturk, thanks, I realized that, I was looking for a way to map left or right hardware buttons.

Mine works just fine pal..whenever,wherever i am, it takes me back to today. (should i provide a video proving it? lol.) In fact i've been using the hw keys mapped in this manner for a year, and it always works. Question your actions instead of calling someone a smartass privately and publicly. Or did you think i had made up those instructions i gave you without ever applying them, either right before giving them to you or in the past? Sad. This said, i'm out, "since you are so smart" figure what's wrong with your (i'd say rom) by yourself.

Yeah, maybe it's a ROM matter (I've been playing around with two or three, since it's been 2 days I have the Xperia). But if it's a ROM matter, it's not as easy as you described initially, right?
What just pissed me off is that you assumed that I haven't searched, or tried the simple way you have told me.
Just read what you wrote:

Wouldn't it be easier if you just tell me "maybe it's a ROM problem", Mr. Xperia-expert-who-knows-everything-and-others-don't??
I also used to have touch diamond, and would love to have this behaviour as well. I use Touch X 10.1 and mapping to "today" just takes you to TF3d, doesn't take you to home screen

I apologize for taking you for a newbie without the ability to learn and search, but lately xda has been drowning in stupid questions. Since i figured out the issue by myself long ago and it was really easy i assumed you hadn't even tried, like many people around here ("guys how do i flash a rom?"). Sorry. Btw i said i hoped you did not fall within the category..If it's a ROM matter it gets way more complicated and possibly unfixable without knowing what the chef cooked in. What ROM are you using? Since i got my x1 i tried NRGZ, Itje, Smaberg, Rota and Agent and hw buttons assignment has always worked..
Ok, apologies accepted.
I'm trying now Touch X 10.8.2 Legendary, and cannot map hardware buttons like that. I'll go back to Valkyrie v4.2 Firestorm and see what happens.
I suspect that buttons functionality depends on Manila build version.
shortcut to home page
Create a shortcut to:
Code:
\Windows\manila.exe --switchtopage Manila://home.page
Place this shortcut into \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and assign it to the needed button.
