No one seems to have a good answer for this. Can you help?

How can I place a shortcut for a new text message in my HTC Home Plugin menu? I used to have this and when I did a hard reset to my phone it is now gone.
Thanks,
Chris

Start Button> Settings > Today > Items
Click the Messaging box.
This info qualifies as User Interface 101... plz don't ask us to tell you how to use your device in the future. Use the search functions of the site.

If you'd rather use a button, not an icon... try this thread my post on page 4 is just about new txts, but the whole thread is really helpful (if you want to have an icon on the screen to podge with your finger, then dont bother reading it tho)

Actually this is exactly what I don't want. Please read the question more closely so you can try and give a correct answer. I am looking to have one of the 6 icons be a blank text icon. I have had it before so I know it can be done.
Thanks

I dont use the HTC plugin... so i cant give explicit instructions, however - if you can add a shortcut (not an exe unless you can edit the command line) try the link in my previous post. If it doesn't help then i'm afarid i cant help as i've decided that 1 hardware button is better than podging the screen! (although the link will help if you want to add the podge to something like resco today - i'm assuming HTC today is similar.....)

cjk5wf, you can create the shortcut to tmail with the following parameters :
"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body" ""

MyFaves application supressing MISSED CALLS!

After sleuthing through the forum archives I have finally found out why I have not been getting missed call notifications on my phone. The MyFaves collection of programs (I do not know which one) are recording the missed calls in their own log, not the one that the phone uses to give notifications. I am using ultimate launcher and the Myfaves Today-plugin is hidden.
The problem:
When contacts on the "myfaves list" call and get missed, there is ONLY a notification on the myfaves application. If the today plugin for myfaves is disabled you will only be able to see that you've missed a call by looking at your call history.
The suggested solutions:
1) Many have suggested removing "list" from HKLM/security/phones/nolog registry.
What happens to me is that the list file is regenerated every soft-reset!!
2) I have used the deletemy5messagecenter.cab.
The cab, they do nothing. All it did was make my5msgcenter unrecognizable.
3)Flash the wing with any ROM not containing myfaves
Maybe some other time
My own questions:
1) How do I permanently remove 'List'?
2)Is there a way to remove My5App.exe, My5MsgCenter.exe, My5Service.exe from my windows folder? They are always checked as "read only" and "system" files.
Thanks for your help!

Yeah, MyFaves can be managed through my-tmobile.com, and I'd really rather not having the app on my Wing. Many times when I press the Talk button twice (to dial the last person I called) it will dial the last Fave I called... not cool.
I'll prob end up flashing a custom ROM onto my Wing eventually, but if there's an easy way to get rid of MyFaves in the mean time, that would be great.
NS

I found this reg edit in a thread here of people who wanted to use for non-myfave plans.
HKLM > SOFTWARE > HTC > My5 > SMSC > CmdGet > StateRequest
Open value ClientService and change the value from 1 to 0
The above steps work for a while but then the same issue started up even with the myafve app disabled so I tried fooling around with the other settings within the myfave reg sections but they restored to the default setting after a reset & the same problems continued. I finally restored my phone from a back I had & disabled it again. After that everything was in place but I found at the start of my current bill cycle I got a ota that set the myfave display back on my phone. I had to enable it & turn the display off & disable it all over again. So far all my calls are being logged with the custom tones I have in place.

1. Install a custom ROM.
2. Install HTCHome if it's not in the ROM you chose.
3. Setup HTCHome to handle your "top 5".
4. Use tmobile's site or call in to change the top five when you have to.
Now you have your problem fixed and oodles of more free RAM, storage space and a much faster device.

Hmmmm... it does seem like the only way is to install a custom ROM on there. This is because the software is self regenerating. Too bad... I guess the reason I couldn't find an answer is because this problem doesn't exist because everyone has custom roms.

Well.... I can tell you how to permanently kill my5 until your next hard reset if you want me to...

Yes Please! Do Tell!
p.s. VG Cats rocks. Too bad he's been kinda in a slump lately.

Well... under hklm/services disable the SMSC something or other...
Then under \windows\startup items, rename the my5 item. Powercycle then delete the item. That should disable it from turning itself on. A custom ROM will always be better, though.
If I had two phones, I'd make a video comparison of a stock ROM and a custom ROM...
As far as VGCats go, they do rock, and I haven't gone to his site in a while because I noticed he stopped updating it. What's up with him?

Thanks for the reply my friend. I'll try it out.
Scott from VG cats got busy with his personal life, but he promised regular updates a few weeks ago.

Update:
Okay, So I had already removed the my5 link from my \windows\startup folder. Then I Changed the registry entry at hklm\software\htc\my5\smsc\cmd get\staterequest. I changed value of 1 ==> 0 for "ClientUIOnOff".
After a soft reset The ClientUIOnOff was still set to 0. I no longer had a myfav icon in my today tray.
After calling my phone and initiating a missed call. My phone would still not notify me of a missed call from a fav of mine.
I'm going to try and delete the "list" registry value I mentioned earlier... stay tuned viewers of few.
update to my update:
"list" still returns! oh dear... I'll have to work on this tomorrow. Thanks for everyone's help!

So I went into the registry and went to HKLM > SOFTWARE > HTC > My5. I changed the name of the "My5" folder to "disabled My5" folder. soft-reseted and upon reset I deleted my "list" entry in the registry. Wahlah It worked. A missed call from a myfav was notified by my phone!

Did you remove the SMSC service from the registry? Oh and I forgot, also from the hklm/init

voice calendar application

Hi all
Im looking for an app that will complement the calendar by allowing to record voice notes instead of text input when the calendar is open on "day" view.
when you hold down a specific time on the calendar, the voice recorder is activated and the Voice Note automatically gets recorded on the calendar date and time you are holding down, and gets added to your reminders/appointments with default settings and no more questions.
It would be a lot better obviously if it was translated to text first, but not necessary.
I was able to find "voice cal", very old and uninstallable on wm6.1 with .cf.net 3.5
and also "speerio voice organizer"... looks like a memory hog and i read it doesn't work right. Its also crowded with a million different things that are not useful.
I just want a simple interface to be able to use with one or two clicks or buttons in order to set up a calendar event while im driving or on the phone etc....
thanks

bump!.................

Hi Spiro,
any luck on finding that app? Cos i've been looking for the same, tho i would prefer that when u push the "record" button, u get multiple choices regarding where to place the voice note, where "calendar" bein one of the first. Then u just had to place it into the day and time you would like it to be. Haven't found one yet, so i've started to write to different application developers suggesting such an app. I'm surprised that they haven't made one ages ago. In meantime, if you should come across one, pls let me know.
cheers

anyone???
Do I really have to take up programming and write my own app?

I was lookin around and saw this
handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Calendar/VoiceCalendars-52540.shtml
I think this is different than VoiceCal
The one I gave the link to, seems lke it could work. Only problem is that it doesnt use WM existing calendar.

I tried speerio voice reminder and it was horrible! I dont know what some people are thinking.
All I need is a simple plugin to show itself on the calendars context menu when I "long press" on dayview to say "new voice note" and when I click on it it should have a HUGE red record button and a stop button. When you hit the stop button the calendar would save that as an event with the default alarms on the date it was created
the only problem I see with that is that the heading of the event would not be very informative unless one typed the info, but im willing to live with that. Or maybe MSvoice command could help there with some text to speech engine!!! (im not holding my breath)
Im using an app called "thumpcal" right now but they dont have a "day view" and I have to set the time after I scedulle an event on a specific date, but its better than the built in calendar BECAUSE ITS SIMPLE!!!!!
I dont understand how am i supposed to use a program like "speerio" while im driving when it has 30 f...n buttons the size of a neutron on the screen in a grey on grey display?????????
Does anyone know what I have to learn in order to put a little program together to do what I want it to do?
PS I also found some other interesting programs like "freenotes" that I thought was a good idea but I would like to be able to initiate that from the "day view" on the calendar (right click on a time on the screen and have the choice of a voice note or a pen note) so that I dont have to key- in the time that I want the event to take place

ummmmmm.....the link that I posted does what you want.
1.Make folders by subject name
2.Click on a folder, it then brings up calendar
3.Click on a day of the month
4.There is a BIG RED RECORD BUTTON at bottom of screen
5.Record your note, it is then stored for that specific day
Is this not what you want? Granted it doesn't use your existing calendar but hey, something is better than nothing, right
VoiceCalendars
Update*
I was just lookin around and found this app. I think it might be right up your alley. Very simple/minimal interface. Allows you to record a voice message up to 2 minutes and then you can set a date and time for it to play aloud automatically.
Voice Reminder: Download Cab
Heres the website I found it at
I hope either of these programs can help. I know how frustrating it is not to be able to find that perfect app!

Hey asofiker
thanks for your reply
I have an HTC Kaiser phone
I tried both programs you suggested and had the same problems with both that other users seem to be experiencing
the "voice calendars" displays a "the control grid .....could not be created" error
and the other program from the XDA member gives me the "An error occoured on sub_app_start.
This device does not support display power on/off Continue?" error.
I appreciate your help and if I find anything that works in the future Ill be sure to post here
Thanks again!

Not exactly what you're looking for but an idea: Agenda Fusion with its Notes Organizer and Data Linking features. Also a good agenda with lots of views. http://www.developerone.com/agendafusion/index.htm

Pocket Informant 8 is the best Calendar and Contacts app available and I always install it to my wm devices. It has voice notes recording functionality and then some. Check it out. I have tried all the others at great expense (some provide trials) and this is by far the best one.
Regards,
MAC

I tried agenda fusion in the past and find that it falls in the same category as most of these organizer programs its simply overkill for a one handed hand held device with a 2 inch screen
Ill give pocket informant a try and post back
Thanks

pocket informant no good for this purpose either!

Which version of PI are you using?
Mine is version 8 and it does exactly as you require! It saves a voice note under Storage Card/Voices when you select Notes View>Menu>Recording

［Q］3Q's: GSen; close apps; compose SMS

Hi folks,
I have gathered a few questions you might be able to help me with.
Using: O2 XDA Diamond, Olinex 2.4 unsigned, Radio 1.09.25.23, Panosha Simple 1.1, the usual tweaks
1)
GSen. It might be useful to some, but I just don't need this flipping anytime I move the device. I renamed the gsen.exe to prevent it from being loaded on startup. This works, but I get a nasty error message, of course. That doesn't bother me, but I'd still like to know if there's a more elegant solution to this, like a registry entry disabling GSen altogether.
2)
Is there a way to make pressing the little "cross" button (top right corner in most apps) close applications instead of minimizing it? To finally kill a program I have to use the task manager. Any idea how to add a little more power to this button?
3)
About composing messages: Entering a name in a new message used to make the corresponding contact entries popup in formerly used ROMs. That's no more. I now have to open the adress book, choose a contact and select "Send Text Message". How can I get the lost feature back?
Regards,
ziphi

Not sure about 1 & 3, but for 2 unless it's been altered in the ROM your using, goto Start>Settings>System>Task Manager>Button, you can change the action the small cross does.

Thanks,
but this seems to have been changed in Panoshas ROM, there's no "task manager" option in the settings.
Anyone else got an idea?

Managed to solve problem No. 1)
Deleted shortcut file for GSen in /windows/startup/
Problem No. 3 is what disturbs me the most, now. Any ideas?

[APP] TrueDialer -[R]- 22 December -[U]- 22 December -[V]- 1.40

Name: TrueDialer
Hi everyone,
TrueDialer is a free and smarter T9 dialer app. With the app you can quickly find and call your friends by entering parts of their name in a T9 combination. With the latest version you will even be able to send them text messages.
But in addition to this, when calling a phone number not already in your phonebook TrueDialer will automatically search white and yellow pages worldwide and even let you opt-in to the enhanced phone number directory from TrueCaller. From there you can easily save your new friends number with name pre-filled straight to your phonebook.
We'd love to have your feedback on our new app, what do you think about it and what can we improve?
Tips:
-First start can take a few seconds since your contacts are loading, please be patient
-Double tapping on the input field will clear it so you can start a new search quickly
-You can enter the name in numbers starting from anywhere so if your looking for the contact "Andrew Hill" in your phonebook you can type 263 for "and" or even 455 for "ill".

thank you! i will test soon

Hello,
The app doesn't work with French Yellow/White pages. Have I missed something ?
Thank you.

Thanks. It looks promising, but unfortunately it doesn't work well on my HD2. I get Black square No response most of the time. When I type, names start to show, but disappear after some time with the black square and No response label.
I am on HD2O rom and use Exchange and Live Mail accounts. Contacts are synchronized with Exchange and Pushed on update.
EDIT (FIXED): If I am on wireless behind Firewall first time I install this app then it is behaving like described despite the enhanced search is turned off. But if then I go on Data connection (no wireless) it works! When the popup dialog asks if I want to use enhanced search or something and I click Cancel then it works even connected to wireless behind the firewall.
That is only a minor bug I guess but I got it the very first time I installed this app.
A few suggestions to make it better:
1. Make Contacts pics optional (turn on or off in settings) - it will look neater in a name list and possibly faster.
2. Make letters in names that match the typed number sequence in accent colour like the original dialer in search results - it is very handy and looks very pro.
3. Make numbers bigger and without the textbox frame. They should be at least font size used in name list for names. It is a search field, and people will type 5-6 numbers at most and not 25 or 30 like now.
4. When you type for a very brief moment I can see Searching online despite all online searching turned off. Is it a bug?
Hope this helps... It is a very good app. Thanks again.

Hi there and thank you for your suggestions!
1. Coming in the next update!
2. Also on the way!
3. The reason this is a textbox is because some users want to be able to paste a number to search for, a action that is currently not possible without a textbox. But I'll make the text size bigger in the next update!
4. The application can search online even though you have enhanced search off. The difference is that it will then only search in public white/yellow pages directories which are very limited in quality.

Great!
4. So it is a T9 dialer WITH online Phonebook search at all times.
I would prefer a T9 dialer WITH OR WITHOUT online Phonebook search at all times.
A couple of reasons:
a) Truecaller doesn't work for all countries. I couldn't find anything for any of my contacts. So it is actually useless for the most of the time.
b) Some people don't want data connection at all times or have no data connection or want to minimize costs and need only t9 dialer. Roaming for example?
c) Perhaps it is even faster without an online connection?
d) Just to make some people happier with a setting to disable all data connections?
Cheers!

Please add a unread call counter and mobile operator indicator into the tile (as the original windows phone 7 telephone live tile): I would like to use TrueDialer to replace completely the MS one

One Small Bug :
Even if I press cancel when it prompts to initiate a call, it gets listed in History. This happens even when I tap an item in history.

Will add the current mobile operator, however I am not sure how reliable this can be as the local tiles are only updated once every half hour.
Regarding the unread call counter, this is currently not possible because of limitations within the WP7 API platform.

Windows Phone doesn't return information on if the user actually did press call or not which is why you see it added to the history list even if you didn't answer. I'm sure this will be fixed in future versions of WP7 and we'll of course update TrueDialer then!
