How to disable the wheel - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

does anyone know how to disable the wheel scrolling on the diamond, its one of the most annoying features if all you want to do is scroll down or up and the wheel turns so far down or up you end up calling or missing the person you want to call.

Err .... what wheel scrolling?? Are you thinking of the scrolling ring around the outside of the central button? If so what are you trying to do with it, because in my phone it is not set up to scroll through contacts?

yeah the scroll ring, how do i disable it scrolling through contacts or any other action assigned to it

Dunno .... mine has never worked that way and according to the manual the scrolling ring is only used for zooming in or out in certain programmes (not the contact list) and not for scrolling up or down.
Are you sure you are not thinking of the up and down buttons that are above and below the button (not part of the scrolling ring). As far as I know that is the only way to move up and down on the buttons. Otherwise it is finger scrolling on the screen - which is what i use

It defiantly scrolls up and down, when i am using the phone, it only zooms in and out when i am in opera.
It really annoys me, because whenever i want to move up and down it will scroll up or down x10 as you move your finger around the ring.

to disable/enable:
simply download diamond tweak
19. Touch-sensitive Wheel
19.1 Disable
19.2 Disable
19.3 Disable
19.4 Disable
19.5 Disable
19.6 Disable
19.7 Disable
Easy...

do you have a url?

Just checked mine no ring scrolling here either stock telstra rom no tweeks....

I don't have the scrolling feature using the wheel. Does anyone know how can I enable the scrolling feature? Is there a cab where I can download for this feature? It's a cool feature for me.

As far as I know, GScroll will implement the scrolling features.

Any way to REALLY scroll with thumbwheel ?

Hi !
I'm looking for a way to scroll with the thumbwheel (right now it's just as pressing up/down which does different things depending on the app). I know it could be done, since we have the finger scrolling which works as a REAL scroll, so if moving the thumb down would act the same as finger scrolling for 1cm, for example, than it would be a real scroll.
BTW: as i'm typing this, i'm starting to program an app to do it, so if i don't find a solution, i'l make one myself... muahahaha(evil laugh)... of course i'll share it... free.
Please tell me if you know a solution, so i don't waste my nights programming (again).
Thanks,
RPG
i haven't been able to find a solution and I looked high to low. I think the wheel should be more like a page down than arrow down.
I have never understood why you can't get it to go vertically. It does it on the program and settings but not on the today screen.
I think you are onto something here.
I saw one of the button mapping programs that allowed you to assign screen actions to buttons, but I am not sure how well it would work. If it did, I would imagine it could be pretty quirky and not the most efficient way to do in things, since you be basically reinterpreting another event. Sounds like it might be useful, but I would suggest maybe providing the ability to to toggle between the normal behavior and the true scrolling by double clicking the jog wheel button.

Scroll wheel for volume in call doesn't work...

It works in most other programs that allow scroll to volume, but when on a call it rarely works (has a few times) and it just scrolls through the connection, sound icons at the top of the Today screen.
Using Dutty's Touch 8/27/07 ver 1.27.14.09
Anyone ever see this before? Answers?
Does that ROM have the enlarge title bar app in it? If so and it's turned on, this will defeat the scroll wheel during calls.
I don't think it has that. It does have the enable large start menu but that doesn't make the title bar larger.
The app he's referring to is if you click on the signal bar or volume icons, does it pop up with a magnified version of those buttons?
Thanks for the better description outphase...
If this is not the issue, then do you have any apps that may be trying to control the wheel at all times? You mentioned "works in most other programs"...which programs?
I think you guys hit it. I disabled the "enable large start menu" in and now it works! This does indeed pop out a large bubble for the signal and volume icons also.
The last time I saw it working now that I think about it was before I enabled it yesterday. The scroll volume in call is much more important to me than the larger type in the start menu or the large bubble.
Thanks!
too bad it's installed in the ROM because the .cab version is 2 seperate installs. I only install the Enlarge Start Menu part, leaving the Title bar portion not installed. That results in large start menu but still have full call volume control.
That app was actually made for the Touch, which does not have a scroll wheel as the Tilt does.
I have the same issue too, am using Alex's 5.2 ROM. I cannot see the app that does this to turn it off - what is the name of the app?
Look under Start/Settings/Personal and click on Large Start Menu. Just unclick the box to do disable it. Worked for me!

IE Scroll sound on tilt.

How can I disable the scroll sound in IE when I use the screen to scroll with my finger. I cant stand the clicking noise. I didn't see where to disable it in system sounds and have been unable to find it in the forums. Also, is there a way to disable the popup menu when you scroll using your finger in IE. Half the time the popup menu will come up or it will select text.
Thanks
Anyone have any ideas on the menu always popping up when scrolling with touchflo in IE.

Selecting while scrolling problem

Is there anyone else that unwillingly selects itemswhile scrolling?
Often when i scroll down my latest calls i accidently calls someone as my finger scrolls the screen.
Is there any registry setting or anything that can be adjusted how long You have to press to do a selection. The problem is in Manila as well.
Example:
I select all programs under programs tab and scrolls down. Bam! Suddenly I have selected some other program while lifting and setting down my finger again to continue to scroll downwards.
HELP !!!!!
It's driving me nuts. (actually this is the only thing that bothers me with this phone) I used tohave an Iphone before.....

this will alleviate some of the issues.
you can adjust the touch screen sensitivity but it may work against you in other applications.
the 'touch' itself is almost like a technique, press and hold down, then push upwards till almost top edge of screen and stop, repeat steps again if required. This method works well for me be it using TD, Touch series.

TouchFlo scroll problem

Ok, first to the admins/moderators - I searched my ass off trying to find a thread with my problem, to no avail... so if there is one, please excuse me...
So here is my problem - I find it very difficult to scroll any list with my finger because I just end up selecting some item from the list... Is there any registry setting to, lets say, delay the select behavior of TouchFlo? I mean, for example, I try scrolling my contacts, I AM able to scroll but almost immediately after I start scrolling I end up selecting some contact!?! Am I the only one with that problem? PLEASE HELP!
Bump. Anyone?
I just have the problem the other way around, I just can't select multiple items because everything starts scrolling...
try scrolling with finger in more center of screen
selecting works if you scroll motion on left or right side usually

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Also , make it more of a " flick " with your finger, instead of a touch and drag scroll.
So there's no registry setting? I have tried changing settings in HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings, HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCGesture, HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel, HKLM\Software\HTC\TouchScroll... can't seem to make any difference!!! The screen becomes more responsive, scrolling is faster/slower, but no effect on my problem - whenever I try to scroll I always end up selecting... there HAS to be some setting that determines the delay from scrolling to selecting behavior... it works so well on the damn iPhone... also works beautifully on the S2U2 settings screen... they should fire all the idiots at HTC and hire the S2U2 guys to do their interface!!!

u should blow up their forums then
Oh well, I guess I'll just wait till some genius dev out there finds out the right registry key, I give up
I hate to say this, but I think that is the expected behavior or TouchFlo scrolling.
You can drag to scroll specifically (and I don't believe this selects anything, at least on my Tilt), or you can swipe to start kinetic scrolling. If you click while kinetic scrolling is occurring, I think TouchFlo causes a selection to be made (although in places where single-click activate is the default, I don't think it actually activates the item--it simply highlights it).
You may be able to resolve this by changing the TFLOSettings\FingerPressure value.
I had a problem for the first six months with TouchFlo where the context menu would pop up about one in three times I tried to scroll (swiping or dragging). This happened even the moment I started using the device. Completely and utterly unusable. But after the third or so time I tried adjusting TFLOSettings values in the registry, I finally solved the problem. I ended up with TFLOSettings\FingerPressure=0x64 (100) and TouchPanel\PressureThreshold=0xC8 (200).
I REALLY wish HTC or someone would produce a complete guide to customizing TouchFlo scrolling (including the meanings of the TFLOSETTINGS values). It really works well, once it is optimized. Although, it will be great if Microsoft builds scrolling into the Common Controls in WM6.5.

Actually there are genius developers in here. I think you're just being a little picky, the touch flo works fine for me.
I think I recall a touchflo sensitivity setting in KaiserTweak. Get it, then try setting the Touchflo sensitivity to the most sensitive option possible.

+1 on Kaisertweek, altho I reduced sensitivity instead of increasing it. Technique counts too. I tend to use nails or stylus for browsers, especially Opera. Use keyboard for contacts, and scrollwheel to dial it from there. Every phone is different, but reducing sensitivity via Kaisertweek worked for me.
Problem solved
Finally figured it out and now it works perfectly. The culprit was the too high value in HKLM\Drivers\Touchpanel\PressureThreshold.... I put a value of 160 (dword:000000a0) and now I have almost iPhone experience
heres a thread closer !
to bring some closure to this thread, the following utility will solve all your touchflo woes!!!
