Hey guys,
Any way to condense the call screen a bit and get the menu options visible by default? The caller ID pic is small and there's a lot of dead space around it.
I understand the rationale of hiding speakerphone/swap/mute/hold/etc due to possible spurious touches of the screen, but I find the hassle of hitting menu, which I do a lot on calls, outweighs.

Everytime I switch on my phone, the keypad locks up. I have to press the "Unlock" menu on the bottom left of the screen and then hit unlock again. I find this to be annoying. Any way to get rid of this?
Thanks a million.
Go to START -> SETTINGS -> PERSONAL -> TODAY -> ITEMS and uncheck "Device Lock" I believe if you don't have it as an item on your today screen, it won't boot up. However, don't take my word for it 100% , I never had this problem.

just tried that. Didnt work. :-(
Any other ideas?
Take a look at your installed programms
Battery Status Includes such an auto keylock
This is why this community is awesome!!
I've been trying to figure this out for days! Thanks a million. It worked!!!!
I ran into this same problem i was about to do something unholy to it! So yes check the battery status plug in..LOL
I use S2U2 for a keyboard lock.. It's nice and pretty, and has some nice previews of upcoming appointments, etc, but it's pretty heavy on ram. But I haven't seen anything as quick to unlock.
CSDEVCTRL by chrisstavrou is a great locking program. It is excellent for in-call locking and temporary unlocking during the call. It locks ALL buttons during a call, unlike many other lockers, so that when you're on a call and your phone is in your holster or pocket, it doesn't hang up by accident.
It has three different ways to unlock the screen: a tapping sequence, slide-to-unlock, and a button sequence. The slide and tap features can also be set to do up to four different things, such as slide-to-unlock, slide-to-hang-up, slide-to-open-speaker, slide-to-go-to-today.
It also offers many small bonuses, like a simple call blocker, bluetooth tweaks, backlight tweaks, and carrier name tweaks.

I didn't know this. Any chance there are some screenshots around?

It's not like S2U2 in the sense that it doesn't have any sort of screen saver or visible skin. When I look at my phone, I see the same thing whether or not it is locked (I use SPB Mobile Shell 2.1, so I see the "Now" screen.)
Just go to the link I posted earlier, and you'll find all the info there!
Sorry to ask a question that is possibly in the manual I haven't been able to access yet (disc is at home, I and phone are at work) .. but, is it possible to show more than just the next appointment in the diary on the scroll down diary entry from the home screen??
EDIT: also, is anyone else finding that the screen goes blank during a call so you can't then access the buttons on-screen without having to switch the device back to life??
Thanks folks!
The screen going off during the call is a feature. Stops your ear from setting other programs off during the call!
There should be a setting in the today screen that allows more diary events....can't tell exactly where (I don't have mine yet).

Does swiping upwards in the today screen help? This changes the big clock to a small clock with more information below it.
I'm having a bit of bother with the texting on the Diamond.
Its probably a standard WM issue, but as this is my first WM phone I dont know if theres a way to fix it?
I send a text (no problem) and then I get a reply...
When I reply to this it goes into 'conversation view' - but only leaves me one line to see what I'm writing. Is there a way I can move the previous texts up and get say 3 or 4 lines to see what I've written?
Even when I hide the keyboard I can only see 1.5 lines of the text I'm writing.
A tad annoying!
Yeh, I find that fairly annoying too. I definitely miss the SE P-series implementation for handwriting recognition, takes up no screen space at all and is accurate and responsive. If WM could integrate that, would be a generally much more usable platform...
start > settings > system > Screen > text size.
smaller leaves more space in your type screen, allowing u to see more
also in your keyboard there's an options button, press it, look for zooming when typing, and reduce it
Anyway to make the new sms screen pop up fast?
Seems to be needing alot of steps to create a sms and MMS

thanks for that...
now I can see 3 lines at a time! Still not ideal, but a huge improvement
I for some reason am unable to press the bottom left hand corner of the screen, which unfortunately is exactly where the dialer button is and now I can not press numbers for in-call options. Any way I can change this screen w/o flashing? im on Xtrsense now and would like to stay with it. Thanks a lot I have metamorph and amon-ra.
Maybe another dialer option from the the Market like this?: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.kz-mek-dialerone-iApD.aspx
I've never used it, but it gets good reviews, and looks like the only thing you would be missing would be the * then on the bottom left. Hope this helps...
The one feature I hate the most of my Z3C is this:
A call comes in, and I start fumbling with trying to wipe away screens (notifications, messaging, any given app that's open) so I can get to the accept call window where I can swipe left to right, red to green, and answer the call!
Is there an app or setting (I use Xperia and Nova launchers) I can activate to prioritize incoming calls so they will show over any other app that may be open? This is especially frustrating in low light or mobile/car situations where cleaning up my desktop quick enough to answer a call before it goes to VM is about the last thing I want to do.

An incoming call always shows up on top of everything else. If it doesn't then you've done something to your phone.

I am sorry, but It does not, unless by "showing up" you mean that tiny strip with even tinier wording and symbols on top of the tiny (5") screen?
Try this: Put up the "Notifications" screen, or even the blank home screen. Then have someone call your phone. Now a small strip with a tiny phone symbol and even tinier wording " accept" or "decline" appears at the top; if you are not in the home screen, that prompt disappears within two seconds. If I want to answer the call when not in home screen, I have to swipe away several open screens of activities to get to that small phone prompt again before I can finally answer the phone.
The only way to get the big swipe-left-to-right, from red to green phone prompt is by first finding and pressing the phone symbol on my home screen (after first having to get back to the home screen, when other screens are up!)
But I want this symbol to prioritize the screen, automatically, every time, regardless of other screen activity.
How do I prioritize and superimpose the big red/green answer prompt over any of my current screen(s)? I want a simple "answer this call now" prompt, not a multi-step fumbling exercise to access the main function of this device!
Any help out there?
