Is there anyways to improve it? Too many times what im searching for on the phone doesnt come up, even when its the only thing on the phone with those search terms! How does search on the phone work? Is there an app that can improve the way search works?
if you press 'go' (the arrow button) it searches the web, otherwise it searches your phone.
Go to your Settings select Search. In Searchable Items, select everything you want your phone to search through, Apps, Music, Contacts, etc. This should open up the search function to the rest of your phone.
Hope this helps.
Its not that it wont search, its that the seartch results are bad. For instance, when in the music player, ill search for a song called 'reset'. All the search results that it pulls up dont have the word 'reset' in the filename, song title, artist etc. I can put in VERY specific terms and it will either not bring anything up or bring up results that have nothing to do with the terms.
Are you holding it in your left hand?
I don't know all of the appropriate inernet lingo (LOLROFMLFYMBITCH or whatever), but this makes me laugh:

And yes, I intentionally spelled "internet" without the first "t" above.

I have had a search around using the Google search and not been able to uncover anything, the forum search does not appear to be working very well for me either.
What I am keen to find out is if there is a Soft/hard button shortcut to picking up a call and having it go onto speakerphone instantly.
When driving or otherwise occupied for example and the phone is Locked/Password protected it is impossible to get to the Speaker On button on the Phone Interface without divering alot of attention or actually having to slide the keyboard and type the password in.
Perhaps I am missing an obvious thing from documentation but if anyone could point me in the right direction or perhaps some software/reg tweaks which can achieve this it would be much appreciated.
Cheers.

When on a call press and hold Send (Green button), if this opens an application or doesnt work try deleting \Windows\Long_Send.lnk

Awesome thanks, hoping it was something simple
I don't know if this is a general WM question, as I've never had a WM phone before.
From the Home screen I choose 'Messages' then click 'All Messages' - which gives me a standard looking screen with an Inbox of all the people I've sent/received texts from.
If I choose a person, then I get the whole conversation with the person.
How do I delete a part of the conversation without deleting it all.
I've found that if I click on the persons name I get their contact info - if I press 'OK' at this then their message is highlighted. I can then choose 'Menu' then 'delete' which clears that ONE message. Surely there must be an easier way?
Also... I'm currently using the HTC Full Querty keyboard as my chosen input method. I have the T9 on and it works great MOST of the time!!
My only problem is that if I type a word sometimes it will give me another word that I dont want. How do I say no to this choice?!
Eg... I was typing a message to a friend in which I said 'did you get your ass up on the dancefloor'. When I typed 'ass' it imediately pops up with 'assets' and 'association'. If I press Space it choses assets for me. Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass' without having to take its suggestion? I don't want to turn the T9 off as I find it really good for putting in apostrophes etc - and apart from this problem it works great.
Cheers...
"Is there something I can press to just stick with 'ass'"
Man i tried my best to think of a witty comment to that - but i'm struggling!
Any how, I don't know either but what I do is press space to complete the word most like the one i want, then go back & edit it. After that, the word comes up automatically when typing the approriate letters.
SMAC
ha ha...
Its happened to me heaps of times, but ass wss the only example I could remember!
My iPhone had a great little X that appeared and let me ignore its suggestions. I wish there was something similar on the Diamond.

Cant answer your second part of the question but the bit about deleting one particular conversation??. Im sure today i was able to do it but now ive wiped my messages inbox so cant really check. But im sure if you highlight that part of the conversation u want deleted then go to menu and you should have delete available. Again im pretty sure thats how i did it...deleting them one by one.
Check it and see if it works...like i said im pretty sure thats how i did it...i could be wrong tho.
Use the circular navigation button (press "up") while in the conversation screen, and then you will be able to navigate between individual messages.
Yes I know, I had to hear this from someone else too. Not very intuitive... Annoying when a good delete option is lacking...
I have linked contacts to little squares. When I hit the tab with the person's name on it, it automatically dials the person's number. I far more often use text messaging. Is there an easy way to change what happens when you press the little square?
When you click on Add, find the person in your contacts.
When you select them, it will give you the option to add their numbers.
If you select the one where it says 'txt' after it, the little button with thier name will be mapped to send them a text message, instead of calling them.
Of you can just click on the persons picture and it will open up their contact card.
Doesn't work on stock ATT Rom
When I click on the "+" button, it takes me to my contacts list. When I click on anyone's name, it adds their name to the little square. When I click on the little square, it calls them. I need to set it up so that it gives me the option to send them a text. Maybe my rom is corrupt. I can add pictures, and they show up on the today screen in the little boxes, but when I click on the little pictures, it places a call. I can't or just don't know how, to change the function from "place a call" to "send a text". I called AT&T and have scoured the internet but could not find a solution. I've installed a few programs, which may be causing the conflict, so I guess it's a quirk I'll have to live with.
Finally figured it out
If you tap the little square, it dials their mobile telephone number. If you hold it down with the stylus, it gives you the option to call (home, mobile, work) number or text. I wish when you tapped it, it would text!
Are you using the HTC Home plug? If you use a rom with Manilla when you hit the square it brings up the contact and you have your choice between calling or texting.
I'm using the stock rom minus the bloat
I haven't made any mods other than adding the hidden proxy enable and disable cabs and installing the mp3 ringtone fix. However, I'm about to attempt to remap the PTT button because I hate how you can't mute the phone if you forget to put it on vibrate before a meeting. There is a post that describes how to use the PTT button to toggle among the various volume options.
Step up and flash your tilt...on second maybe thats not a good idea...
have you thought about trying a modded Rom? there is some really great rom out now that will do just what you want plus a whole lot more....
For me, mapping that PTT button was really tough
I went through three different registry editors before I could find the hklm folder. Once I found and deleted that though, it was pretty easy. I am so thankful to horndog1 for the step by step instructions.
Here's a link. I suggest using PC Commander. It was the only one that worked for me. Here's the link to the instructions.
I like this stock rom minus the bloat. So long as it's stable, may stick with it.

i would love this, i hardly ever call people (i only use about 50 minutes per month of voice, but i'm always on aim/texting). If there was someway this could be edited w/ a regedit i'd love it. TF2D is great, but i've have yet to find a ROM that is as stable as any of the simple 6.1 HTC home roms, and the things i use my phone for (lots of note taking, data logging) i can't be doing soft resets to my phone all the time. i did this once and lost a 3 hour session of notes. that WAS...NOT...GOOD. on top of that, it BLOWS not being able to use the TF2D in landscape. i'm really surprised no one has cooked any of the tile icons into any of the manilla roms
Yes, I managed to get the PTT button removed. Got me two new buttons now, but the ones I want to use I cant configure.
I am trying to get the Voice Speed Dial assigned to button 6, but for some reason the program is not listed in my Assign a program menu?
Simple fix for this, I have spent four hours looking through the forums, google and every other page on the net that has anything to do with this stupid phone.
If you know a fix for it please post it, don't post a search here or go here link...
from the windows mobile 101 handbook...
generally, any program that has a shortcut in your Start->Programs listing will be listed in the available programs to map to buttons.
simple answer is to first make sure the Voice Speel Dial is available from Start->Programs. if the link is missing there, make a shortcut to Voice Speed Dial manually and drop it in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. then, assuming you are using Settings->Personal->Buttons to manage your button mappings, it should show up so that you can map it to a button.
these are basics really, so i will still suggest more reading and searching even if you have specifically asked otherwise.
good luck!
Ok I hope the title says it all but just to clarify I'm trying to see if it's possible to either disable or modify the "did you mean..." help tip of the Voice Search after a recognized voice search. Meaning once I long-press the search button to activate Voice Search, (eg. I search for a picture of the Eiffel Tower) I get the results. But when I close the browser the "help tip" or rather "did you mean..." is still displayed on my home screen, so then I have to hit cancel. It's a great feature when it doesn't recognize what I said, just don't like to press cancel every time.
It's the little things that get annoying
Mine doesn't do that (just tested) if it recognises the term, it goes straight to the Google search page with the results, and when I close it, I'm just back to the home screen.
If it doesn't recognise the term, I get the 'did you mean' box, which goes away when I tap on what I want.
I have noticed this occasionally. I do have the personalized recognition turned on. Its odd when it does it, I have to hit back a couple times after I was in something that I looked up and there it will be buried under a couple other programs or windows i had opened.
Seems like it does that when I say "listen to something something" it launches Pandora. Then when I close it that I see that help tip there. Yeah I guess it doesn't give you suggestions when you do a simple search or something.
Thanks for the replies
