[DIAMOND] Unable to assign button -> Unable to do screenshots - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Hello,
I'm using my HTC diamond without the touchFlo GUI, and I have to do screenshots of Opera web pages (specific errors are displayed) However I not able to do that because screenshots softwares like Magic SS or others needs to be assign to an hadware button in order to capture pages.
Even if, when I map the program to the only choice "button1 (Hold)" in the "buttons" menu, when I hold this button, either the voice dialer thread systematically launches else opera pages moves to the background and as theses softwares capture the active page, impossible to catch web pages
I have already tried to install Hbutton or some stuffs like this, impossible to do screenshots of opera web pages. Any ideas to solve my problem ? Why I cannot see the other buttons in "buttons" menu ? Is it possible to fix that ?
Thx for help !

Softwares like Resco Photo Viewer has screen capture to take screenshot after 10 sec. You may open these software and the software screen you would like to take screeshot, and use task manager to switch for taking picture.

Thx for your help !
Do you know a software like Resco Photo Viewer, but Free ?

Function for Contacts is now video call after official rom upgrade ... HELP !!!

Hey Folks
I upgraded to the official Hong Kong ROM upgrade on my HTC Diamond & whilst impressed by the speed improvements I have a major bug that annoys the hell out of me & thus hope some genius reading this can help fix the problem
On the home tab using the "phone" icon it then shows recent calls. However the left hand button that used to show "contacts" now shows "video call". I never want to make a video call & contacts is far more useful .... but there is no obvious way to change the function
Hoping someone can help
Chill dude.
This ain't a bug, it's a feature.
Personally, I do find video-call usefull, but ill prefer "send SMS"
Do U really need contacts? You can use the keypad T9 to find the person U want to call easily...
Circle your finger around the middle button and it rips thru contacts!

Use your favorite registry editor to navigate to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila] and change the following values:
"HomeLSKPath=addrbook.lnk" 'that's the application you want to use
"HomeLSKText=Contacts" 'that's the text that will be displayed on the left soft key on your Home screen
Do a soft reset.
Now your Left Soft Key will display Contacts, so when you press it, you shoul go directly to your contacts. Enjoy!
I've changed mine to Comm Manager.

Do you know the keys for the phone app? I bet there are 100 people wanting those. I think that is what kgb-agent is looking for.

I don't have a clue how to change softkeys within the phone app, sorry. Looks like I have misread the original post...
Thanks Heretic & others
Yep ... me & 1000 others want to change the key in the phone app
With CT's rom version 4 if I tap Phone soft key on Today screen then tap the little phone icon between the video call and menu softkeys it removes the keypad and leaves me with last call and contacts list...
No ideas anyone .... it is really bugging me
For me i just disabled the phone skin with the Advanced Config tool. It reverts back to the old WM6 design. I still prefer that. Do note that once u do this, the vibration when a call connects is disabled.
Hey KGB-Agent, I have exactly the same problem...and it is bugging me as well! I upgraded my dutch ROM yesterday :-( Another problem I have is that when I look at my contacts the SIM contacts are not displayed, even when I configure this in Advanced Config Tool...HELP! Anyone else an idea how to fix???
Your contacts are opened when your in the phone app, just scroll! why do you want it to open another contacts process when its already there?!? up and down or as i already said circle the middle button with your finger
Hi Blaze,
Circling with my finger in the middle button doesn't work for me. Furthermore, with "Contacts" I could quickly scroll down with the Alphabet on the right to f.e. the letter Z. The way you recommand it takes me ages to get to the "Z"!
I called the HTC helpdesk, they advised me to do a Hard Reset. Of course...that didn't work...:-(
Go to start and choose contacts its the same screen.
I agree the videocall is a bad choice from the makers of this rom.
Most people do not use this kind of calls.
Grtzzz
I have the same issues with the loss of functionality Ries
I cant believe there are not more complaints
I emailed HTC 4 days ago with no answer :<
@kgb-agent: I phoned the helpdesk. They said I had to do a hard-reset!?! I couldn't believe it, but okay, I tried it...and what do you think: I still have the problem! :-( I guess we have to live with it...bad choice from the developers...
same problem
up
Two things:
1) why don't people use the smart dialling feature? this is where when in the phone keypad, you just spell out your contact using the alphanumeric keypad (it uses T9 to search) and it displays your search results in real time at the top of the dial pad... MUCH easier than the contacts screen - try it.
2) circling the middle button with your finger does NOT work for me, i have no idea how that is working for you since the diamond is not meant to be able to scroll using that 'wheel' unless you have installed some 3rd party software for it, or its unique to your ROM/region.

[Q] Bluetooth beam option on TF3D picture viewer

Hi,
Does anyone know if it's possible to add a 'Beam' option when you are veiwing a picture/video in the Touch flo viewer??
As it stands you have to open the WinMo photo veiwer or File explorer to bluetooth beam a file to another device. If you're trying to send a file from the touch flow program the only options you have to send via are SMS or Email.
To help understand what i'm on about here goes - scroll accros to 'Pictures and Videos' then tap any image file to open it into the veiwer, then tap the send 'envelope' at the bottom. you'll see the only options you have are Email/ MMS/SMS. Surley there should have been a bluetooth beam option there as well?? Maybe an oversight by HTC?? I know i can beam from the WinMo viewer but that's not the point, i shouldn't have to shut down the TouchFlo veiwer and have to then open up another veiwer just to send a file!!
Thanks in advance for any help.
nope.
tflo3d is meant as an overlay interface rather than OS-based.
Yeah i see where you're coming from but if they can put in an option to 'send' via MMS etc then why on earth was it so difficult to add a 'Beam' option.
My guess is that one of the switched on guys who regularly come up with stuff on this site could do this in a heartbeat.
can this be added by chefs?

Exactly what i was wondering!!! Anyone wanna take up the challenge??
Damn!!! No-one know how to do this?? Really??
*Bump*
Does anyone have any solutions to this its driving me mental:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435112
That thread has a screenshot of someone whos achieved this but what rom is it what settings have been activated? I can't believe anyone who uses tf3d hasn't been annoyed if showing your friend a photo and they say " can you send it to me " and i have to close the viewer and go to file explorer and then search through loads of directories ( and IF i can remember the file name for a start!) then send it from there.
Please tell me theres something I'm missing.

Changing TouchFLO 'Launch Browser' Default Page?

Hey guys,
This is my first post, which could be a disaster if this is all down to my stupidity, but I swear I've done a lot of searching and come up with nothing. That out of the way...
When I go to the TouchFLO internet page on my XDA Ignito the default site if you hit 'launch browser' is m.yahoo.com, is there any way to change this at all? I'd much prefer it to launch with about:blank for responsiveness, and so my GPRS doesn't auto-connect when I want to do something with Opera.
Thanks in advance for any help, I'm really glad there's a community like this for users of HTC devices. I've already used this forum as a lurker for a lot of information (including upgrading my old Hermes to Winmobile 6), you guys are superb.
Sincerely,
Ulfhedjinn.
Launch Opera.
Tap the Options icon in the bottom right hand corner of the screen (it's a black box with horizontal lines in it with a similar smaller white box partially in top of it) and this'll pop up a list of options.
Select the Settings option.
Tap the Start Page bar and it'll drop down various options to do with the default page.
Select the 'User-defined' option and enter about:blank in the text box.
I had a bit of trouble getting Opera to 'remember' my change when I was doing exactly that so if this doesn't take effect then do a soft reset (after making sure everything is still as you want it in Opera) to get the option to 'stick'.
Hello Medulla,
Thanks a lot for the advice, I appreciate it. Unfortunately I'd already tried setting the homepage in Opera to about:blank or Google UK, and got them to stick in the browser (which can be a pain at times as you mentioned), but the internet page in TouchFLO still says "Launch Browser" with "m.yahoo.com" under it.
I tried setting my homepage and then doing a soft reset, just to see if it would work, but unfortunately I still get m.yahoo.com as my homepage unless I manually start Opera from programs or by pressing "Browser" at the bottom of the internet menu instead of "Launch Browser" at the top.
I was wondering if the m.yahoo.com default was tied in to the registry or firmware.
Thanks again for the reply.
Using file manager..
Go to:
\Application Data\Manila\
rename the file InternetPortal-en-AU.xml to something else (or delete).
Alternatively, you could change the home URL inside that xml file, that should fix your problem. It's a read only file, you would need to use something like total-commander to modify the attribute. G luck ..
Hello techdave,
You, sir, are my bloody hero. Renaming that file worked a treat.
I can't thank you enough.
very useful tip. thx a lot
Yes, that was driving me crazy too! Thanks for this tip
My first post on the forum after using many of the excellent tips etc..
This is a great tip, its been bugging me since getting my diamond, I've managed to change the default page in the xml file to Google UK, also got rid of the MySpace and You Tube links by modifying the same file (using Total Commander).
I would also like to my put my own links and icons (similar to the MySpace and You Tube ones) on the main Opera Touch Flo screen, I've changed the link but have no idea how to change the image, the xml file refers to .qtc files for the images.
What are .qtc files and how can I create them to put my own icons in?
EDIT - found the answers after some deep searching
also used this tip to get rid of something which has been bugging me since I first got the phone, thanks
I'd been searching everywhere for this. Thanks so much!

Sounds and Pictures and keyboard problems

Hi,
First, thanks for all the XDA community's job on Android it works really fine but I have 2 problems on this:
when I enter in a input zone for text the keybord (AZERTY one) will not work properly for examples it is on QWERTY then I have to select another field and sometimes it work. another times the return key wont work and the space bar types ".com"
The other problem is when I put sounds and pictures on my SD card Android gallery will not display them if I want a notification or a backgroun picture I have to download manually on a internet site.
I search all over the forum but all I found is the folder /media/audio ... but it doesnt work
thanks for responses
thanassos
(ps : excuse my very bad english)
i think the first problem with the keyboard relates to the windows opera mobile 9.7 (Internet Mode) , i didnt have this problem in linux but in windows, i had to install fingerkeyboard2 to fix it because the space bar was replaced with a .com and others issues too.
see if you get this problem in windows

from post 413 down tells you the possible solutions
but it does sometimes not everytime and there is the unworking "return key" in the same time. I will try your solution next times I launch Android but it's very hard because I have not to be on battery even it shutdown 5 minutes after I turn on Android "no battery left"
