Screen Standby & Navigation Control Issue - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hi All,
I know there are few experts who can help me with following three questions.
1) When my phone goes into standby, it comes back to normal when I take stylus out from its place. Is there any other way we can bring screen back to normal? (pressing power button doesnt bring it online)
2) navigation control doesnt work at all. I have tried using it clockwise and anticlockwise while scrolling songs and contacts but it doesnt work. Is there any settings for that?
3) How can I change text message tone? I want to use my own made .wma/.mp3 file
Thanks,
AMJAD

1. that is this unique phone features,why do u remove stylus if u dont want to use phone??? u can install gyrator (search) to control this feature
2. search for advance configuration v3.3 by schapp. by default this device dont do navi scroll except in opera,album and music player. by using this sofware u can set it to use in program,contact etc
3. to change text message in tone u have to have .wav music file and place it into windows directory then only u can go to setting->sounds & notifications and change to particular one u want to use
hope this helps

Remove Calender&Contacts bar

Is it possible to remove to whole bar at the bottom of the home screen? Mine has links to contact & calender, but I just want to remove it since I dont use them at all...
Any ideas?
soft key applet
you can use a program called soft key applet, which is downloadable from the xda ftp site, not sure if you can simply turn these off, but you can assign different programs to them.
I use dcinobar, you can just click the .exe to enable / disable it. I have mine placed in the \windows\startup folder works perfectly.

nice post, def. gonna try this one out when I get the chance as I never use the on screen soft keys anyway,(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)and a little extra room is welcomed with open arms. I'm guessing you can still use the soft keys if you want to by pressing the hw buttons on the device right????
cheers
Heres the trick..
It LOOKS a lot better. It makes more of your image available to use.
But wither or not you use the buttons doesnt even matter, because when at the today screen, even if you press those buttons they still work. I use mine all the time, but I dont like the clutter, but it doesnt matter. I just remember what buttons do what, since they still work.
Im adding this to my newbie thread
Thanks!!
This gives the homescreen just a bit more room.
Another nice mod is to remove the iconset for the unlock/com man/etc located above this bar. I used the regedit method using total commander- simply delete the following from your registry:
\\HKLM\INIT\LAUNCH92
This is the key that launches the tray application at boot (To re-enable create the registry key above with the value TrayAp.exe)
Have fun!

Actually I found the tray icons very useful and actually added my own tray from batterstatus. One touch activation of any of the radio's and various programs makes using the tray very efficient. Plus you can access the tray without even touching the screen so its a win-win in my eyes.
Regarding Neptunes' first post at the top,
"(plus I know I ain't the only one who can't stand the fact that the home screen plugin from HTC doesn't allow one to scroll down the today screen in landscape mode)"
I have spent days looking for a fix/patch for this. Is not having the scroll feature in landscape mode the final answer on this one?
Thanks guys!
Scroll
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home and change the type to 4.
Poweroff and poweron.
Thanks, exactly what i need.

looking for two different cabs

Hello
I am a new owner of an att tilt. I believe it is the same as the tytnII. I am looking for two cabs to install on my phone.
1) a cab that lets me assign a button to switch between vibrate, silent, and ring. I found vibra switch, but it does not include silent.
2) a cab or program that allows me to assign a call log feature to a button. I use the call log quite frequently on my old phone.
Thank you for anyone that can give a newbie a suggestion
Adam
both of those can easily be accessed without cabs.
1- if you have the htc home screen, just press on the symbol that looks like a phone with a music symbol beside it, and it'll give you the option of switching profiles
2- just click the green talk button and then press up on the dpad
want the button press
Thank you for the response.
I have not tried htc homescreen yet. It appears to have a large clock and a tab system of the today screen that I am not fond of. Am I able to leave the today screen basically like it is with that program?
Also I want to be able to map these functions to a button. The reason for this is for easy access while driving. I feel a button press and using the jog wheel is a lot more accurate and requires less attention.
Thank you

Lock HTC Diamond TouchFlo 3D with left softkey "S2U2" ...

So...
1. Install S2U2 v.16 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418
2. Disable any other locking programs or settings; could be used for autolocking only "Turn off backlight if device is not used for 30 sec" on Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced.
3. Install a registry editor (my favorite is SKTools v.4.3.1.2)
4. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phone, but nothing is listed there), and write here: \Program Files\S2U2\s2u2.exe
5. Open HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKText and write here: Lock (or anything you want for the name of the button)
6. Close registry editor and... you could lock your device anytime you want!!! The left soft key that was "Phone" on default TouchFlo 3D is now "Lock" (the Phone key is already present on hardware buttons, so nothing to loose...)
Many thanks for this to A_C and mkhattab.
But this version seems cannot lock the Home key, any idea?
if you press the home button, it will unlock, but only for a second. It then automatically goes back to s2u2 screen. Although it is still possible to use touchscreen during that brief moment..
thnx.. this is a great tweak!
i did the same thing after installing the s2u2 but after a while i realized that this method has 1 disadvantage: anytime you want to lock you have to go "home first" and only in the "home" tab you can lock the device.
how i solved? i used HButton and put the lock on the "call" hardware button.
now, it doesn't matter in witch tab i am..long press on "call" and my diamond is locked.

Guys am i doin something wrong?
I got my HTC Diamond yesterday and been using it for a day now... i just press once on my power button every time i dont use my phone, and in that "mode" my phone is locked and in standby mode too. U cant use any keys apart from power key which brings my phone from "stand by" mode to normal mode?!
Is this way safe? To me, looks ok.
I think my rom is 1.93.0.0. this is original phone rom (not cooked one)?
Any suggestions/advices?

start-settings-system-power-key lock-> check "do not lock buttons" , and after this you could use my instructions on the first post to lock your Diamond with style...
If you want, I could provide you an registry tweek that will lock your phone automatically when the light is dimed. To unlock, you should press a softkey "Unlock device".
Or you could tell me what is your more convenient scenario for lock and unlock and maybe we could help you!

Modify registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable , change from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked.

2. another question, how can i change the quick buttons in the diffrent menues, in the black field, on my home screen it got "show all programs" and "Planet 3" i wanna change Planet 3 to Camera.
3. 3rd question, can i add pocket player instead of the normal music player in the tf3 menu?
4th question, how can i change "port" for outgoing mails? SMTP. there is no settings for changing outgoing port(smtp?) so i cant send any mails.

1. I think you mean S2U2 and you should read the S2U2 Thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588
What I do to quickly lock my phone is either, shut the screen off using the button on my phone (Which then locks the phone instantly as well) or Create a shortcut to S2U2 Lock to lock the phone, or I can use psshutxp to shut off the screen which also locks the phone instantly.
Sorry I can't help you with your other questions

Ah perfect, didnt know about that exacly what i was looking for

full screen in pocket informant won't go off

hi people! i have installed on my diamond this app: pocket informant... the latest version...
i was exploring the program, and i found there was an option to turn the program in full screen...
the problem is now i can't turn off that option, and pocket informant is always in fullscreen mode, and it's impossibe to access to the menus, editing what we want, exit the program... is real annoying....
does anyone know how to disable that option??
thanks!!!
I have no solution for you how to disable this option.
To turn off fullscreen again, you have to change the registry key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant]
"FullScreen"=dword:00000000
Be sure to quit PI before changing the registry key.
You should be able to press a hard key on the phone and it will take it out of full screen.

sorry for asking you that, but how can i change the registry? i never did that, and i really don't know how to do it... do i need to have some program for it??
thatks!! and by the way, do you know if the version 8.5 fixes this problem, witch is really annoying??
Had the same problem. Contacted WebIs and got the following reply
If you do have an issue where its not coming out of full screen mode when it should, then you can fire up a reg editor and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\WebIS\PocketInformant and delete "FullScreen".

It does actually; mapping Button 1(hold) to something (usually left soft key)will drop PI out of full screen mode as advertised.
I've got mine mapped to Comm Manager; if PI has focus in full screen it will drop out of full screen and retain focus, if not in full screen Comm Manager launches

i'm here trying to map the buttoms, but i don't understand how to do it...
can you explain me please??
thanks!
Start|Settings|Buttons| 1) highlight the bottom option "Button 1(hold) and 2) select action from the drop down menu...option <Left Softkey> is the recommended but Comm Manager works for me as "dual use".
Button 1, of course, the Call Answer (Send) key...
Had the same problem with my HD2. The registry edit worked like a charm - I just changed the value in Fullscreen from 1 to 0.
Very nice fix.
