Keyboard Delay / Lag

Is anyone else having a delay on there keyboard when pressing the space bar? When writing and email / sms etc i find that im pressing the space then typing my next word but the first letter of the next word is on the end of the last word then a space then the rest of the letter of the next word.
If you understand that you've done really well but thats the best way i could think of discribing it!

Yes i have the exact same problem. It also buggs with the backspace.
What you mean is this right?
This is at est! (Should be This is a test)

Yep thats exactly it. I also get it with the backspace.
Annoying the hell out of me, makes writing an email really difficult!

I had something simular with my Universal. Cant remeber if it got fixed

ok this is driving me up the f'in wall!!! Surely it cant be on everyones Kaiser cos everyone would be going mad about it by now.
Please please if anyone has any ideas shout up

What language do u have on the keyboard? I have norwegian and i am suspecting that the language might be the problem. Think English is ok

English, just to confirm this is the Slide out keyboard im talking about not the on screen keyboard

Yes it is the slide out. So its not the language of the keyb. I see u have the schaps 4.10 i seem to have 4.21 not that that helps anything hehe

No im just increadably dumb and put the wrong version number in my sig! LOL Thanks for pointing it out dude, ill change it now! lol

Timestamp missed calls? -Dialer

Hi guys, i love this forum! Got alot of info from here. But i have one problem:
I want to see when people called me, right now i only see that a person have called me, if i go into the Dialer menu. I cant see which time/date or a quickcheck on the today screen that i had a missing call
I have a small tab for messages, so i can see when i have incoming messages but not missed calls!
Anyone that have some good idea how to sort my problem?
/thor

If you are using the default dialer, that information is available... So which dialer are you using?

Yes, i have the default dialer (not very good tbh to be a dialer but nvm.)
/thor

That's strange, 'cause I can see time of call...

yes very strange, when i pus the icon "telephone/dialer" i can only see the name of the contact i last called or recived a call from, nothing else.

Oh, so you don't mean in the call history, do you? You mean the last calls you see when you have the keypad on your screen? In that case, you are right - no time of call there. To see that you need to open the history.
Sorry if I mislead you with my previous post.

exactly, i dont want to push some menus to see what have happend, last i checked. Cant understand why they dont have implemented that.

Time stamp issue
Is there any way to get the time stamp on the call history for previous dates? Currently I only get time stamps for today's date, while all previous days calls only have a date stamp.

If you click on a call, you will also see the time.

Yes thanks, noticed it just after I posted...
I think I'm 'Diamonded Out'. I've been at this thing for 3 days solid and I can now make it wash dishes, walk the dog, and even fly a helicopter, but I can't do the simple stuff any more!!!
I thought tapping an entry would phone it, so I was approaching it in 'menu mode' to try to get the info... tapping and holding etc etc... I need a rest from this thing;-)
Thanks for your help.

I know what you mean!
However, you're one step ahead of me - the dog has to keep bringing the Diamond back 'cos the batteries end up running flat.

Hope I'm missing somthing here...

...but can you really not simply call someone who has just texted without having to revert to pen and paper???
TIA

Sure, just press the Phone button.

That certainly doesn't work on my phone (standard UK 1.37.405.1 WWE).
When I hit the phone button, all I get is the keypad, with the last event in the call history highlighted.
I have to say, I've tried all ways I can think of with this issue, and I'm amazed something so fundamental appears to be missing. I can't remember how many times I got texts on my old phone only to decide the answer was too complex to text and decided a phone call was more appropriate. On my old phone I just cut the sender from the text and pasted it on the dialer, and that was a 'simple' Samsung D900... so what's going on with the Diamond I need to start carrying a paper and pen.
Please someone tell me I'm missing something, or that there's a trick other than having to temporarily enter them in my contacts or need to start exercising my extremely short term memory?

Hi,
If you open all messages and hit the call button, verify the number and call.
Works on my UK Diamond.

Ok.....
Seriously....?
Why did you buy the phone in the 1st place?
Cos it was "Pretty"?
If you go to your inbox, showing all your text messages, select the conversation between you and the person you want to call.
Then use the directional pad to select their part of the conversation (you will know this because their text message and name will be highlighted - might be highlighted blue, it is on mine...) then simply press the call key, (very bottom left of the handset).
You don't have to press any other other buttons.
It will ask you to confirm before it actually dials.
Didn't your phone come with a user manual? - I'll explain how that works.... you pick it up and page through it using your hands, it also comes with extra features such as an index at the back and a table of contents at the front.......
........Or is it like anyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes who was supplied with one that didn't come with indicators!

No worries, I was actually quite drunk the other night when I done that and was in a really sarcastic mood that day...
Enjoy the rest of your holiday!

I didn't get the Orange User Manual I was lucky enough to get a HTC one, in fact everything about mine was HTC I don't even have the the Orange Logo on the back of it, the only Orange thing it has is the SIM lock....weird

Hey Studz, no probs man.
Glad this thread didn't become ugly.
I guess for the guys who are developing ROMS and stuff, questions from newbies can be a pain in the ass. Perhaps there should be a section for "I'm sorry, I know I should be able to work this out, but I've tried for 3 days and can't :eek"
I'd probably fill it!!

Anyway to change the voice that reads sms outloud?

You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1

First off, what app is doing that for you?

huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.
interesting....

I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving
I would also love to know how to change the voice though

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!

Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.

cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!

pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps

yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it

I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.

text messaging issues... maybe

I've had my Kaiser (tilt blah) for about 3 months now, and most of my issues I've solved off this forum through .cab downloads, or just becoming unretarted, but I have some questions about the default text program that I havent been able to answer myself... Everytime you send a message, you get a "message sent" notification that interrupts pretty much everything you're doing after your message. Is there a way to turn it off? Maybe just have a sound confirming it was sent? The other thing is sometimes when I text, the text input box at the bottom of the screen doesn't scroll with the words, making it impossible to see what you're typing or if you made any mistakes. Is it my phone? Or has someone created a patch so fix such things? (both). And that guy that said WM for this phone sucks it a waste of life. This is the best OS for a phone. Just may ned some encouragement from time to time, but It doesnt suck.
