Welcome to xda-dev,
Please, do a search before and read the manual of your device ...
Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage
Some answers, cause I'm a nice guy :
1- No, without if you have to use HardSPL hacked before.
2- Yes, go to your phone settings.
3- By pressing and holding the hang-up button.
Etc ...

Thanks again for your fast replies!
For Keylock, when i hold and press tha hangup button, it will go to silent & vibrate mode instead...
Can I create a new folder in SMS inbox?
Yes
Tap on Messages tab. Tap on All Messages. Tap on Menu - Tools Manage Folders
Use your stylus.. place it on Inbox hold it there for a few seconds.
Pop up menu - New Folder
I selected all of the messages but the "Manage Folders" still cannot be selected..
Can i change the sms tone to my own mp3 tones?
Thanks!

Hi kawatsu,
read this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2450240&postcount=27 for how to enable "Manage Folders"

Quick access to SMS?

Hi!
I'm quite desperate. I'd like to start SMS on my Kaiser with one or two clicks. So please recommend me how to make my SMS box the default message box (I'm not using MMS, who does anyway... I mean SMS are so much more popular) and/or direct "Compose a new SMS" or so. I also use HTC Home. Ideally I'd like to add a button in HTC Home which would directly open a new SMS (not MMS).
And yes, I did use Google "site:forum.xda-developers.com Kaiser SMS" + various combinations of words "default", "folder", "quick", "fast", "button", "MMS"...
I also tried several registry and other things tweakers.
Thanks
Btw, if you could recommend an application for quick taking notes, something like primitive drawing or so... PhatPad maybe?

um htc home (with the big clock) has it with one click..

I don't really understand your request, but this might be what your after? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
EDIT:
Also,
When viewing your SMS's do: Menu, Tools, Options and Untick "Display account picker when opening Messaging".

Try installing HTC action screen. It will map the left softkey to be able to create new mms/sms/email/apointment/contact, all with one click of the button. That might be what you're looking for.

Hi,
I am also quite desperate for this. I will try to explain what is that we are after.
When composing a new SMS message we need to follow the following steps.
1. Go to Messaging Application
2. Select SMS \ MMS
3. Click on Menu
4. Click on New
5. Now we need to select SMS from the list that shows MMS / SMS / Voicemail.
Now here is the problem, we would like to have SMS as the first option if possible (It helps save the click I need to do, if I am using the D-Pad), Alternatively, a direct link to just start composing a new SMS message directly without going through multiple menus.
Thanks
Manik

Hi,
I missed the link of my previous post (#3). Sorry. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2287306&postcount=6
The link was to a CAB to create a "New SMS" link on the left or Right soft key.

wow, from the main screen I tap 4 times with my finger and I'm good to go. That really isn't that much work.

Well, I click on the the envelope icon (1), then I have to click on "Menu" (2), "Go To" (3), "Text meddages" (4), "Menu" (5), "New" (6). This makes SIX clicks.

for me,
Envelope, menu, new, and sms..
Done.

After clicking the envelope, if it opens to email press the 5 way to the right and it will bring up SMS.

Surname first in SMS inbox?

Hello,
I am using HTC Diamond 2 for 3 months already. Recently i had restored from backup all my contacts and since then in Htc SMS all names start from First name then Surname. Before Surname was the first.
When i am creating new sms message and search for contact all of them are in Surname,Firstname form. But when i point one i need it is changing by itself to Firsname Surname.
Is there any settings or tweak to change this? I need Surname to be the first, it is more convenient for me.

I do not know how to do all contacts at once, but individually you can go to Windows (Not Manila) Contact manager and select a contact\edit\file as.

Thank you Bruce for reply.
No, this does not work. I already have all contacts in Contact Manager as Surname, Firstname. Same in HTC SMS when i browse for contact to create new sms.
The name's order changes by it self in a second, right after i had add it to new sms. Also i had tried to use Vito SMS chat and there is no such problem, in all names Surname are first one. So, i guess, it is problem with HTC SMS.
Any clue?

In htc people tab all people, select contact, edit contact, scroll to bottom, select more, on 2nd page click in the field "File as". You will need to do each contact individually.

Thanks Codehunter for reply, but your answer is basically the same as Bruce's ones. I had already all my contacts with FileAs field looks like Surname, Firstname and this does not help me.

Is there an email app that has these two features?
1. The ability to "select all", then delete.
2. When forwarding an email, open "contacts" to select the recipients.
Thanks,

K-9 Mail
1. The ability to "select all", then delete. -- YES
2. When forwarding an email, open "contacts" to select the recipients. -- INDIRECT. Start typing, and it will show matching contacts in drop down as u type

Thanks for your reply disblo009. I have K-9 now and have had Maildroid and both will allow "all" delete but not "contact" selection. And both will match a contact to the first few letters typed. It's just that I usually forward emails to about 20 people; however, it's not always the same 20 people; therefore creating a "group" with the 20 address', as recommended by the developer of Maildroid, doesn't really solve the situation. The email program that was on my Captivate when I purchased it would allow you to use the contact list to select recipients but not allow "all" delete. It seems as though anyone who receives and forwards emails would appreciate these features; however, I can not find one program that has both.
