Annoying black stripe when typing - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I am having this issue. Flashed to 1.93 ROM and I have noticed when I am typing a SMS message using Full QWERTY (Compact as well) a black stripe occurs on the top of the keyb. It is displaying words as I am typing them.
I have tried to disable all T9 settings and word completion but no luck.
I find it quite annoying because keyb is half the size of the display and that black stripe is taking some space as well - making it even worse as you see your text almost in 1/3 of the screen only.
Any hints?

Found the reason
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2534766&postcount=26
uninstalled the dialer and it is back to normal.
But now I have that annoying video call instead of contact as a soft button in phone.
Update: black bar/preview disabled while SMS writing but it keeps appearing in other apps when I am typing text.

Anyone found a way to disable the bar/preview?
Hi, did anyone find a way to disable the bar/preview? The Manila Dialer didn't make a difference, mine (UK HTC Touch Diamond) has a different version again. Thanks guys.

can't you just disable predictive text?

That is disabled. None checked.
That's why I was asking bcause I thought it is some special settings.
Update: I finally figured it out. Text prediction + T9 are disabled in settings, however this doesn't override individual settings in applications. You need to use that small slider between ABC-T9 on OSK to disable it.
Why when I set something in settings then I have to set it again :-(

Removing system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface?

hi all!
just got myself a diamond yesterday after spending 8 months with a n95 8gb... overall impressive phone but coming from a dopod d810, i find the system status dialog/touchflow 3d interface extremely annoying!
how do i remove them???
system status dialog -> where you can click on the volume, date, 3G icons on the top right hand side of the phone
also anybody knows how to remove the functionality where you press the vol up/down and it changes the system volume?
Hard Reset the daimond. When it boots up after configuration and when it says 3 seconds to customize , press reset.
PS : Opera also wont be installed. you can download opera cab seperately
If it's just the interface, why not uncheck it from Settings>Today ? Or does it come back? Not tried it yet myself

start->preferences->system->TouchFLo
unselect third checkbox..
Allright .. that´t the way to disable TouchFlo...
but how can we get rid of the system status dialog?
(another way than soft reset before HTC customizing runs...)
thx alot...
one more here that is really seeking to get rid of that awfull system status.....
thats the only thing so far i really hated on the diamond
Doesn't my solution (3 posts up from here) work to disable the system status dialog window?
It works for me (MDA Compact IV -Dutch)
yes it works real fine, the problem is everyone still wants the touchflow 3d
we just want to get rid of the system status on the upper corner
Guys..
instead of the full screen system status, do U think I can get the original Touch/Cruise system bubble instead? It's similar to the full screen, but the icons are slightly bigger and appears on top of the screen in a bubble.
Any ideas?
I also find the system status page an unnecessary step. Coming from an Imate K-jam, I preffered just pressing on the icon at the top (alarm bell / envelope / handset etc) to take me to the pop-up bubble at the bottom of the screen where I could either enter open the inbox / call register/calender etc or dismiss.
I read somewhere that the system status page is to bring up large icons for finger pressing. I don't understand the logic of this as the only way I bring up the system status page is by pressing on a small icon in the title bar!
I would like to be able to remove this system status screen step
Why does everone ignores the answer already given??
* To disable the Systemstatus screen, go to Settings>System>Touchflo
* untick the third checkbox wich states (translated from Dutch): "Show Systemstatuswindow when ticked on statusicons"

The idea is that you don't have to aim so precise, just press anywhere near the icons and then you can take your pick by pressing an easy target.
Anyway I do agree with you that it is an annoying extra step, it is a good thing it can be disabled (see previous post).
hi
any idea why my elf does not have 3 options but only 1 "enable sound when finger scrolling and panning"
Is there any workaround to turn off the touchflow?
maybe it's because I was flashed the rom to an "original orange" version?
thanks

Same here, but I found this registry key that helped me (i really hate the big system status menu!) :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeTitleBar\Enable which must be 0 to disable it! You don't even need to reboot, works instant!
Ever since I updated the ROM, I really hate that big system status screen.
I thought I would have had to live with it, so I am very glad to found this thread.
Thanks guys!!!

SMS messed up after ROM flash

I recently flashed my Touch HD with Duttys ROM and since then, my SMS screen (the touch flo one) has been messed up; i.e. In the touch flo screen where I can use my finger to scroll through the messages, they are not in "Received" order. It shows the messages in alphabetical order of who sent them, I would like them in Date order so the newest one is first if someone knows the Regkey/App to change it? The "All messages" screen is ok because there are options at the top of the screen to change the sorting criteria.
Also I cant find where to turn on the "Message was sent" notification that used to pop up in a bubble? Anyone know how I can enable that?
And now, when I get a message, I get an icon up in the start bar which annoys me because it wont go away until I press dismiss or Delete at the bottom left/right of the screen. Can I get rid af this annoyance too?
I did do some searching on the forum but could find any similar problems.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
[Edit] HD Tweak enabled the Message Sent notification.
no one?
does anyone even know what I'm on about? if it would help I can get a screen grab of the icon that shows up. it looks like the dr sms icon but its nothing to do with that application because I have uninstalled it and it's still the same.
has anyone else had these things happen on there phone?
thanks

Just delete every item under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER
this is exactly what i tried when i got the hint "no access"
I started my D2 in safemode (with Safemode or PocketPlus) and then i could successfully delete this registry branch.
After doing that I noticed that the green light is not blinking anymore when there is a SMS or MMS....

Great! No more disturbing for your quality life.
I don't know, if my device states (or stated) new sms or mms by blinking lights because I never looked at it.

Anyway to ONLY enable orientate in messaging/texting?

Is there anyway to enable orientate ONLY in messaging/texting? I hate when the phone orientates (it bugs me sometimes, so I disable it), but everytime I need to text, I have to enable it again.
I know spare parts has an option for enabling/disabling launcher orientate, but is there one for messaging/texting?
Any help is greatly appreciated!

I know Handcent has an option to only autorotate on the pop-up screen. So as long as the pop-up message is in front the screen will auto-rotate.
I agree this would be a great feature to implement into cooked Roms I think.
I use a MT3G and the only time i want my screen to rotate is when im texting or writing email. Besides that It annoys me when other apps rotate for no reason with the accelerometer.
I actually wouldnt mind if Gmail, Email and Messaging just locked into landscape mode 100% of the time and left the accelerometer out.

[Q] How can I delete the HTC Call to have the Windows Call?

Hi,
I would like to have the Windows Call because the HTC Call is ugly. thank you
It's called the dialer. You can't delete it, but you can disable it via a registry change & restart.
HKLM:Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=1
Change to 0, this will disable HTC's Dialer skin & enable the default WM Dialer. It supposedly saves 10+MB of RAM.
Note, this might effect your Topbar signal Icons as the default WM Dialer uses icons from shellres.192.dll instead of the phcanOverbmp.dll that HTC's Dialer uses.
Never thought of doing that but I made the change. I like the Windows dialer better too and it doesn't have that bit of lag that the HTC dialer does when you push the phone button. Thanks!
Keep in mind that you lose some important options - for example the WM dialer doesn't support video calling.
Also, the proximity sensor doesn't work with the WM default dialer too. You can always change that registry back to 1 though & restart again to get the HTC Dialer back.
Thanks again guys. I don't do video calling with my limited data plan but losing the proximity sensor functionality will be an inconvenince so I'm changing back to the HTC dialer.

I'm unsure, because the service would be still working. It's worth a try.
BTW I do not care about those "Thanks buttons". It's my hobby to help people, just like others helped me years ago.
It'sd normal to click thanks when someone help us i think
I find : Delete everything in htc volume
Great that it worked for you I had this strange feeling, that this could be connected.
Thanks,
How can I put the default calculator?
Thank you
