Default for mail inbox when pressing message icon

Hello
I have 2 little questions that bug me a little bit and which i cant find a solution for (and yes i know where the search button is located ).
Situation 1
When im at the today screen (http://www.cryptex.be/tytn2.jpg) and i press the sms icon (the one in the middle under my clock), it goes directly to the inbox of my sms messages, which is great.
Now when i press the email messages icon (the one on the left under my clock), it doesnt go to the inbox of my emails (which i would like it to do). Instead it shows the menu SMS/MMS - Email example - "my emailaccount" - New email account. So i always have to press "my emailaccount" to go to my inbox. In the options menu i already disabled the option "show account chooser when opening messages" but then i always get redirected to the inbox of my SMS messages.
So in a nutshell, i would like it to go to the appropriate inbox when selecting the icons on the today screen:
- SMS inbox when i press sms icon (which already works)
- mail inbox when i press mail icon (which doesnt work atm)
then question nr2
When im calling the screen always, disables within like 10sec or less, which is very annoying when calling your voicemail and you have to press some numeric options. I always have to turn the screen on.
Maybe someone can point me how i can keep the screen enabled ?

I solved my problems now. By searching in the registry and then hitting the words in the seach option on this forum, i found a solution to both of my problems
I've made myself a little textfile where i keep my registry tweaks now
Its very hard to look for something on forums when you dont know what you actually are looking for, so for those who also want the solution for my 2 problems:
Code:
- Launch the e-mail inbox instead of the account chooser when clicking the mail icon
* Make sure the "E-Mail Sample" account is deleted out of your accounts.
* Make sure Outlook is set up to check your mail (only if using Outlook).
* Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Home\AlwaysOpenMailFolder
from "1" to "0".

Code:
- Prevent Screen Going Off Durning a Call
* Edit the registry key HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0".

PS: my respect for all the people on the forum putting time and effort to make it possible to do all of this

I wonder if these tweaks could make their way into the next upgrade of Kaiser Tweak? I'm sure many people will find them both really useful.

Woops, I've just noticed my device doesn't have a Home folder under HTCHome.
I've done a search for "AlwaysOpenMailFolder" which I don't see to have anywhere else in the registry either.
Should I create the \Home\AlwaysOpenMailFolder key and then set the value? What sort of key is it (e.g. binary, string, dword)?
Many thanks

Try this and see if that works

That seems to refer to the HTC Touch app, which I don't have installed.

Just a quick note of thanks for taking the time to document the solutions that you found. I see too many threads where someone tracks down their own fix but they don't take the time to share it for posterity.

Frustrating - Anyone know how to make a call or edit a contact from an SMS??

Hi all, I'm finding it frustrating that there is no way to edit a contact's details or quickly make a call from viewing an SMS, is there a tweak/patch for this or am I doing something wrong??

close input program like keyboard, press up and down key to highlight sms, and press call

Solved.
Cheers, It's a bit annoying that you can't do it from the Flo view, and is a bit awkward, however this method also works to get to contacts too if you press the center button.
Thank You.

just press more (left buton)
in the list of sms's press the phone button. you will be able to call that person.
you do not need to close the keyboard.

If u dun close keyboard u cant select the message, u'll highlight text instead

what about just hitting the green button key ? that works for me

when i press more in the tf3f sms screen i go to the sms list.
if i have a keyboard there or not does not make a difference.
as soon as i press the call key, i can make a phonecall. to the selected person.
if i press up or down the next message is selected and i can call to that person.
what are you doing different?

perhaps your message is already highlighted. u can only call, forward, etc, when the message is highlighted. U'll see a lightblue highlight on the message.
When u're replying a message, no message is highlighted, hence, no forwarding etc

but when you reply to a message you are in a different screen.
i am talking about the sms overview.
so to call someone you received a message from it is only two clicks, instead of 1 click as the first poster wanted.

lol, probably misunderstanding. we both obviously have no problems and threadstarter also no problems already, so, case solved lol

you could say that

Thanks everybody for your input, yes the solution works.
If I'm in the single SMS mode (i.e. the SMS "old style" list I have no problems accessing contact details or making a call.
The threaded SMS mode proves to be more difficult, however by highlighting a message (either pressing up, or down then up, or closing the keyboard) then you can access the number by pressing the call button.
The Quick SMS view in the HTC FLO mode though proves the most difficult only allowing you to select the message to open up the Threaded SMS view. This is the mode I wanted to make a call directly from or access there details, however I don't think that is possible.

Auto Close SMS

Is there any way to have messaging closes after I hit send on a message. I hate having to close messaging every time I send at text.
Also would like to know is there any way to get the phone to close quicker when you hang up.

Press the end call button right before you say goodbye?

Don't know about closing the SMS app automatically, but you can send new messages or reply to received messages without opening the messaging app altogether, so you don't have to worry about closing the app when your done.
While in the TF3D Messaging TAB, simply hit the icon on the right edge of the screen a half inch from the top, looks like a message bubble with a pen.
To reply to a message, simply have the message displayed on the screen and press the Menu option, bottom right, and select reply. When you hit send, your automatically back to the TF3D TAB.
I find I only have to open the messaging app itself once in a great while.

well i don't have TF3D on my phone but i created short cuts for my most common texted people and when i press the short cut it automatically pops up with the person info filled out so i type what i want and hit send then it closes automatically

what I would like to know is if there is a way to keep it from telling me I have unread messages while I'm using thread mode. I'll be having a conversation with someone and it says I have 10 unread messages because I didn't click the title of each individual one because it is in a single thread.

I would like to know the answer to this as well, as it is quite annoying!

I think that in Eten was app send sms or SMSSender which allow you create new sms and after send didn't open messaging window. maybe someone have cab here.

For SMS, just press "OK" (h/w keyboard) or Home instead of the "X" - I've changed the X behaviour to only close the app if I press AND hold the X.
For hanging up calls more quickly, there's a registry tweak that changes the number of milliseconds... I think this is where it was described:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-354596.html

I think it could be done via Mortscript.... please post in DEV forum if you find a solution as this could be used by all

[Q] Why is the message history in the call log?

Is there a way to hide [or stop from being recorded] the text message history when looking at the call log?
It seems pretty retarded to see a long list of incoming and outgoing SMS activity in a call log. I would like mine to show calls only. If I want to look at messages I would have opened Messaging no?

You can press the menu button then press "view by" then select one of the options.
You can only select one at a time which I take you're not looking for?
I would imagine someone would have to mod it or use another app to replace it?

Fully aware of the useless filter options.
I want some tick boxes to tell it what to show not a radio button for predetermined options that are not the one I want. Like on the selection of what shows in my contact list....
Do the guys who write touch wiz use a phone?

I guess this doesnt seem to bother anyone else?
Is this a standard android "feature" or a unique error in touchwiz?

Don't use the logs tab, use the history tab in contacts, use the menu button to select what you want displayed, untick what you don't want. Sadly it doesn't seem to affect the logs tab but it's the best you can do for now.

[Q] Why is copying a phone number so tough

Hi
In the "phone" application, if I have an entry in the call log from someone, I simply cannot copy that number to the clipboard. I have to long press and select "Edit number before call" and then copy it from the text box (not from the place it is displayed above). Highly convoluted and non-user friendly.
Is there any reason why I cannot simply long press a phone number in the call log and copy it? Even selecting text does not seem to be possible in Whats App or SMS applications. There is some cursor like thingy that appears and thats about it. I cannot select portions of text to be copied.
Can't believe I am asking this, but how can I copy portion of text, say from an SMS or from a WhatsApp message?
Thanks.
Farhad.

Double tap the text and you should get two handles and the select/copy/cut action bar up top.

It took me a while to get this, apparently on Sony phones you have to double tab to get to cut/copy/paste, it's easy enough once you get that though.

Sony Phone app: no copy, no send contact, no vibrate when connected.
Sony Messaging app: no font size changable, no hide message content option, can't not send (unamed) number from call log.
In term of UI functions, Sony need to do much more. I feel they still not focus enough on software

Don't tell us, tell Sony, they're the only ones who can do anything about it.

Hello,
I have another copy / Paste question. In the calendar I cannot copy the location entry. Anytime I tab it, I am asked to open google maps. Any Idea how to copy location text?
Thanks!

Not sure what do you mean "no vibration when connected, but to copy: long press on the number and to send: that's in the menu.
