Vibrating Key Dialer for Tilt?

Is there a cab for enabling vibrating key dialer for the Tilt? I've searched for it but I can't seem to find one. I guess vibrate and dialer are too common terms or I'm just useless at searching. Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the only one I've ever seen. It's a little util written by someone, I don't even remember where. (Otherwise I'd credit the person).
It mostly works. The only issue is the vibrate is delayed slightly, so it only vibrates if you press *deliberately* on the number. If you do a quick tap, it doesn't vibrate...

Thanks. Will give it a try.
Looks like some credit needs to go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=304767
But sounds like it was a rework of previous work so it might not be his.

Thanks for the cab file so I don't have to edit the registry every time I hard reset my machine

It's just a registry setting? Can you tell me the key and value?

delay on first ring & menu font size

i got a couple of issues:
- when someone calls, the phone seems to stutter and cutoff the first ring a bit. doesnt inspire confidence at all. the ringtone is the same file i used to have on my wizard and worked perfectly for years, so its not the file.
- the menu font size if ridiculously huge! i managed to make it smaller by changing the following registry keys:
HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Ht (from 1000 changed to 700)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Barfnt\Ht (from 1000 changed to 700)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Popfnt\Ht (from 1000 changed to 700)
and that brings the font size down, however the font glyphs like arrows/checkmarks/circles remain the same huge size. i attached a picture to explain.
how do i change the size of those glyphs?

HKLM\System\GDI\Ht (from 1000 changed to 700)
I can not find this value!!!!! I found the other 2, but not thus one.

it should be:
HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Ht (from 1000 changed to 700)
sorry about that, i corrected the original post as well.

come on, i can not be the only one whos bothered that an $800 device can not do its most basic job of RINGING PROBABLY!
no one else has that problem with first ring stuttering? the phone seriously seems to have trouble loading the phone app quickly enough when a call comes in, sometimes it even says "unknown caller" first before recognizing the number and showing the contact name.

Yeah, bit sluggish, thanx WM ?
I don't mind very much, I am not looking at phone waiting for it to ring My ringtone works fine btw?

Try this tweak for ring delay
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sc ript - Change apw3r to apr
Descripion:
a = allow
p = play sound
w3 = wait/delay 3 seconds
r = repeat
f = backlight aan (f1)
v = trillfunctie aan (v0,v1,v2)
Credit should go to Oppainter for finding it

This has been mentioned and tested many times in other threads. It does NOT work.

Fair enough, didn't see posts saying it doesn't work (or I just didn't read those posts properly), and I hadn't properly tested it either.

I have the same problem with the ringtone. I use my own .wav file. I hope someone comes up with an answer, it is a pain ;(

Yes i have the same problems as you, more specifically:
1. Sometimes it rings just once and goes into "missed call" before I can pick up, and the caller tells me it rang many times and I didn't answer!
2. Unknown caller before the name is identified
3. HUGE fonts of the email header (From, Subject, etc).... I mean they take up half the freakin' screen. WTF?

1st ring cut off prob

If you are having problems that the first ring sounds a bit cut off, try converting the ringtone to MP3. I had the same problem with my ringtone (which was WAV). Then I converted it to MP3. The file now has become alot smaller in size (thus faster to load I think) and now my first ring sounds "whole" so to speak. Try it if you use WAV.
Please note that this problem does NOT solve the ringtone delay (it solves the 1st ring cut-off prob for me at least). The ring delay problem still exists after ringtone convertion to MP3 and as far as I know there hasn't been a solution for that yet.

ok, i have managed to get rid of the ringtune stuttering by converting it from .wav(150kb) to .mp3(30kb)
strange thing is i used the same exact .wav ringtune for a couple of years on my old Wizard and there was zero delay. which doesnt make any sense.
however, it still shows "unknown caller" sometimes before recognizing the contact name.
i am starting to think that the HTC phone skin is the culprit here, its simply making everything slow. i tried disabling it with Advanced Configuration but that renders the whole phone app unusable.

I'm glad the file conversion worked for you too. That's right, it's not the wav file that is corrupt, I also used mine for years on my old PPC. It's that the Diamond somehow does have difficulties starting up certain "tasks" when someone calls. It could very well be the TFL3D interface... Even with all the performance tweaks, the problems exist...
Maybe you can try to use the phone option of WM instead of TFL3d? I dunno if this works (haven't tested it myself) but maybe if you remove the tick of the TFL3D in the Start -> Settings -> Today (Items tab) and then soft reset, maybe the TFL3D interface won't start. This way you can try if you have the same delay problem with the phone interface of Windows Mobile... This way we know for sure the HTC TFL3D interface causes the problem here.

i can confirm that changing from wav to mp3 remove/resolve the stattering.
no more breaks after first ring...

i still have not found a way to make those glyphs small either, hopefully someone will figure it out eventually.

How to prevent Smart Dial to appear after a call?

After a phone call Smart Dial appears for 5 seconds before it disappears.
Is it possible to get rid of that or at least reduce the time to 1 second?
Thanks.

I would like this as well as it takes to long to revert back to tomtom

+1 Bugs me too.

yep I am with you on that one too.
also the three second delay solutions posted here still dont work

ditto...any solution?

*Bump* Anyone, please

bump again.. maybe if we'd ask this in the themes and programs section?

no , i think this is the right place. a registry tweak maybe

actually, i knew about this but hoped for a sollution as well.
disable the phone skin with Advance Config and revert back to the old winmobile dialer.

15-second Delay

For the third day with this phone, another problem arose.
There seems to be a 15-second delay receiving incoming calls. In other words, the caller would of went through at least 6 rings, before receiving my first ring on the Diamond. Am I missing something here?
-Johnny

are you using stock rom and radio? if you are FLASH!

Are you sure about 15 sec delay?? Most people complaining about 3 sec delay. There is a tweaks program you can use called Tweaks2k2. You can disable the 3sec ringtone delay. Im pretty sure if you install it on your device you can check the checkbox called ''disable 15s rintone delay''

or try this...

Btw, What filetype are you using for yr ringtone?
I tried the tweaks2k2 tweak, and it seem to reduce the delays BETWEEN rings.. not diminish the first 3sec delay.
I'm using wma. Ya think wav would be betta?

Isn't this the common problem using the HTC phone skin? If you disable that it's supposed to make the delay non-existent. You can do it in Schaps Advanced Config I understand.

Hi thanks what does this cab do, i mean the word loudest indiactes louder volume also?
Thanks
Dinesh

Thanks guys, I had got it down to 1 second now!
I installed the program and got it to come down to 4 seconds.
I converted my ringtone into a .wav format and moved it into the 'Ringtones' folder. No more 15-second delay!
-Johnny

I can confirm, after converting my ringtones to wav files and installing this patch, the 3 second delay is gone.
Working perfect !!!

Does anyone know exactly what this patch modifies so we can do it manually and track all the changes?
Or is it only the converted .wav files that is the big change?

I can also confirm that after you apply the patch and change the ringtone to .wav, the delay is gone!

@ Mask
I use mp3 files. When i call myself i took less than a second before ringing. Normally it takes 3 seconds. But i dont understand the 15sec delay..

No SMS notification in standby mode.

Hi,
New to this forum - hello everyone.
I'm sure you know what I'm talking about and I'm sure it's been tackled before on the Diamond forum - but search isn't helping me out here.
Basically i'm reffering to the issue where I get no SMS tone when the phone turns off the screen (powersaving/standby) - only the ring of light flashes.
Is there a know solution? I've already edited the registry (disablewakeon something??), and sms notifcation on screen! No luck!
Any help would be appreciated.

have you tried Start->settings->Sounds&Notification->Notifications and then from drop down choose new SMS and set accordingly

i think you want to say that there is no notification on screen when the ph is in standby mode,but when u wake up ur ph or recieve a call then it shows the sms notification.....if thats ur problem then try downloading tweak pack available in the forum.....in that tweak pack there is an option to show notification whenever u recieve a sms,no matter if the ph is in stndby mode

Tried setting a ringtone to a waveform file (for example WAV, WMA or MP3)?
My TD refuses to work with MIDI so I just replaced them with WMAs.

yeah - that what i was trying to say ... i've re-read my original post - not so clear was it!?
so tweak pack you say ... i'll look for that (link would be nice thou') - cheers
EDIT: are you reffering to the "Advanced Configuration Tool"? If so what setting am I looking for? If not - link to the tweak pack please?

i'm actually playing a midi (the nokia sms tune) but it works fine when not in standby .... did yours do that too? (i.e. work when not it standby and vice versa!?)

I've also tried the registry fix:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
This didn't really do much apart from truning the screen on - still no sms tone if the phone was on standby on recieving the sms.
If there's a specific know fix for this issue your help would be appreciated as would a link to it!.
Cheers!

i have a similar prob, i get no vibration if device is set to "vibrate" by recieving new sms. if i check "vibrate" in settings - sounds - notifications then it vibrates properly in vibration mode, but then it vibrates also in normal sound mode.. rom is stock 2.03 rom

Bump
Bumping,
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Worked like a charm for me!
Changed the value and restarted the device.
