Hardkeys

Is it possible to reconfigure the hardkeys that are set, by default to messaging and Internet Explorer?
Thanks.

Sure. You must read the manual that comes with the phone, but go to
Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons

Thanks, except (unless I'm either blind or stupid) there is no "personal" entry.

Personal is the Tab along the bottom of the screen. It should already be on personal, but might not be. Click it to be sure, and check your eyes when you can

But this is a smartphone, it doesn't have a tab at the bottom of the screen.

Ahh, my blindness! I apologise profusely.
I'm generally device agnostic, so didn't look at your device name: but I don't use Smartphones.
See if you can find a solution, if not, I'll write you a special app just to make up...

That's a relief, I was starting to think I was going ga-ga.

I'm also interested in a solution, I especially want to reconfigure the two buttons on the side (camera and voice dialing). I wasn't searching profoundly the internet for a solution yet, but also on Modaco and a Swiss board noone knew how solve this problem. So a solution would be highly appreciated

Doesn't AE Button Plus work on your devices?
V

Aha, interesting application, thanks for pointing out to it. Yes, it works, though it's a bit a "too powerful" solution (but better than nothing) - if there was a simple solution that doesn't require an application to run in the background then I'd prefer that...

I imagine there is. I haven't used a Smartphone since Orange E100, way way back. Are you sure there's no easy way?
If I was down and dirty, I'd set one button, export the registry, change it again, and export, and compare the two.
Isolate the registry function, and see if you can extend it.
It's possible certain hardware keys are "off limits", they are on the PocketPC. But I have code that might assist, but if you were using my code, I'd recommend AE Button Plus over it any day
V

One problem is that it doesn't seem to be possible to reconfigure a single one of the buttons via control panel. I saw a solution for the soft keys via registry (HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Home/Keys), but this solution doesn't work for the hard keys (or maybe I'm doing something wrong, happens a lot ). There seems to have been a solution for earlier Smartphones with "SHORT_xxx.lnk"/"LONG_xxx.lnk"-files that should be found in the Windows-directory, but this solution doesn't seem to work on WM5 any more. But I still haven't searched profoundly, so maybe I'll still find something.

is there now any better solution? i tried ae button plus, it runs on my mteor, but i can't map the keys. it says 'taste nicht verändern' / 'key not changeable'. it drives me crazy...

hello, is anything new about changing meaning of HW buttons? thanks

Short_home, Long_Home, Long_send, short_camera, long_camera, Short_record, Long_record, Short_VT, Long_VT, Short_POC, Long_POC
Best regards

But I cant find anything like this in Win directory... (WM6.1)...thanks

Two Software sources for hebrew installation:
www.pocketpc.co.il and www.wince.co.il
Eyron Hebrew and P.DAC Hebrew support.
Both cost money.

doesn't work
I installed as guided, restarted and went to personal settings. There is a pictogram but 1st. without text 2nd. If i click on the pictogram, a split second the screen refreshes? but no changes in the sizes of the fonts 3rd. Also the pictogram is the first pictogram.
Who helps?

Nice! Works for me. Thanks.

What language are you using?

Well done, it looks nice, but using your fingers i prefer SPB Mobile Shell from spbsoftwarehouse......

Thx very usefull!

Am I the only one...?
Am I the only one that thinks these kinds of things are pretty pointless? I mean they seem like a good idea at the time - the ability to navigate the start menu by hand seems brilliant. But when you ultimately have to get the stylus out to use the application you just launched, I'm just left wondering if I've saved myself any real time or effort.

in this case i do not think it is useless - you can hit start menu by pressing OK button on the side and then you can navigate to the program menu or last used apps or setting. during having pda in a car holder it can be useful the same way as in bus or tram or what ever... just my opinion

Unfortunately this does not work on my german Vario III. The icon shows but no text and when I click on it I only get a screen refresh.
Ideas anybody?

funnily enough, i'm having the same deal when installed on Hermes WM5
works fine on Touch WM6 though.
i know it's not Kaiser, but people keep putting software threads all over different places in forums when they are not just relevant to one type of device.

Which ROM languages are you using on your devices?

hello english does' nt work with my device i search french cab

Sorry, not sure what I'm looking for, I'm a bit stupid when it comes to technical questions about ROMS etc... where do i look?
both devices have the original T-Mobile ROMS as both are under warranty and I'm too chicken**** to attempt any changes (despite the infuriating lack of storage memory on the Touch... aaaaargh! )
edit -
just realised you might have meant languages as in spoken languages... if so... english.... if not.... i have just proved my stupidity

Thanks that was what I wanted to know. So language seems not to be the only factor. I have german WM6 here and it doesn't work.
Anybody got a german cab (0407)?

Scroll wheel on the left side is your friend.

Single keypress gives double letters

Several times when typing with the keyboard on my Tilt I've found I get double letters when I only press the key once. Is that common? Is there an adjustment for this?

Perhaps you need to re calibrate your device as perhaps when you did it the first time, you calibrated your device in such a way that made your screen too touch sensitive

I guess he means on the physical keyboard, not on the touchscreen. This happens to me too and I find it mildly annoying, especially if I'm in a hurry. I'd love to find a fix for it.
There was another thread describing the exact opposite behaviour, but I haven't played around with the settings yet.
Robert

Ooops- My bad.

Same here, especially with the "d" key and sometimes multiple repeats not just doubles. Other keys doing it also. Thought at first it was sticky, but thats not it.

Rfka01 is dead on, of course. I'm referring to the hardware keyboard.
I looked for a 'repeat rate' setting or such to see if that would fix it, but can't find any setting of that nature.

Hi, did you check the thread I linked you to? They are toying around with registry settings for keyboard repeat rates. ATM I don't have enough time to try it.
Robert

Sorry - I was trying to help find the keyboard repeat rate setting and thought that I knew where it was and failed.
Message removed.

I think we all know the real problem - keeping it in the family a bit too much eh?

Are you a GTA fan Vijay? Nice. I'm almost through with the story mode in GTA4.

Another thing I think the button repeat rate setting applies to the keyboard reapeat rate. So adjust that and it might help.

@juiceppc - to tell you the truth, I haven't played it and am trying desperately NOT to! I'm rebuilding my PCs and "upgrading" from Vista to XP, so shuffling 2 terabytes of data around, accumulated over years of coding and hacking, is taking weeks and weeks
As soon as I finish, I'll get back on my xbox 360 and give it a go.
Do you like it? (better respond offtopic, I shouldn't be polluting threads)

For some reason, the keyboard repeat rate is actually tied to the volume up/down control settings. Go into your Setting, Buttons, Up/Down Control page, and twiddle the "Delay before first repeat" setting. That should fix it.

The game is sick! A technical achievement of this decade IMHO.

Yes, this is a frustrating reoccurring issue. Sometimes it'll even give you double letters of two of the first letters in a word, for example, "like ththis." It's especially ridiculous when it happens to only two letter words, like "to" for example, which results in "I'm going toto the movies."
I've filed a report with Google, so please visit the link and star and add your own testimony if you wish. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14755
I even made a video demonstrating the problem to show Google. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUZdvr6Pdjk

Diamond Tweaker ruined my phone!!

Ok, it's not that big of a deal, but I want the stock TP dialer back!
When I installed Diamond Tweaker on my TP, I got this dialpad!

(Its gray buttons and a white background and no Yoshi, but I DON't WANT THIS ONE! It turned my Vibration when the person i called picked up the phone off!)
How can I get rid of this one? If there is any way by doing a Hard Reset it would be grealy appritiated!!

Open Diamond Tweaker and go to item "1.8 Phone Pad Style", make sure you have Diamond(Default) select at the bottom and not Windows Mobile Standard.
Then do a soft reset.
I think that should fix your problem.

come on, if it's not a big deal, don't say it RUINS your phone. And if you don't know how to use the Diamond Tweaker to change the dial pad, why install it in the first place?

Why are you so negative? I mean COME ON!!! I don't want this dialer, I want the stock one!
And I do know that it says this, But I use the Norwegian Diamond Tweaker, and the name Phone dial pad or anything like that isn't there! It has a totaly different name, which I don't - IN ANY WAYS - Assosiate with the Dialpad!
Also! I've checked every options (Inkluding this one MANY THIMES!) And non of them are changing this to the "Normal" dialpad.
Also the soft reset did not work.
On 1.8 (In norwegian Grensesnitt) it says Windows and Diamond, I've tried both, with Soft reset.. The same dialpad on both! hmmm

Could be a bug. You should go to the diamond tweak website and post about it.

So; I have now Hard Reseted the phone - Just for the record
But thanks, I guess it was all fu**** up, since a stock dialpad .cab did not work! hehe
But really, thanks You guys are the best

Just one question, does "Virgin" appear on your lock screen? It doesn't appear on the lockscreen or notification bar but it shows up in Settings > About > Status. That's on Cyanogen Mod 4.17, on Hero it shows up as normal. When using an O2 SIM the carrier shows up as normal on Cyanogen 4.17.
