Hello everybody
Ive just got my captivate and found myself spending a lot of time visiting this forum. its a great place for everything from the little fixes down to the real nitty gritty over my head stuff. Thanks for all the help by just reading but I need something I could'nt find. I love the captivate but on most days use it more as a phone than anything so it would be nice if i could have it wake up with the phone dialer open, is there any way to get it to do this? I'm all stock but I'm running Launcher pro.
tasker maybe
Thanks, thats just what I needed. Just when I thought there wasnt anything left to play with on my phone and now you show me tasker. Ill be busy for months now finding ways to do bout anything i want with it. My wifes going to hate this! Thanks again.

I figured someone might know of a way to change the few little things that annoy me with my TyTn II. Ive had it for a while and pretty much only use it as a phone, now I have more free time to play around with it, and searching through threads & accroynms I'm starting to figure out what everyone it talking about.
Here are the few things that but me.
After a call screen locking bug - but I found a thread and fix for it, sad that HTC still hasnt fixed it though.
SMS sent notification - I seriously wish it wouldnt tell me the message has been sent and I can hit dismiss or doing something else and it goes away, but it still pops up and gets in the way.
New SMS - most phones you can click a button to stop the vibration or sound, I dont like how it vibrates non stop for a very long time and or I have to wait for the sounds to finish it, I cant cancel it by click the phone end button or any button for that matter. I have a sound that is kind of long, its funny, but I dont always want to listen to it all the way through.
Anyone know of registery fixes or programs/patches please let me know! Thanks
Try this to disable the SMS Sent notifications
can be uninstalled via remove programs too if you want them back
let me know if it works (it works for me on my hermes)
Thanks I'll try tonight when I get back home.
Also I wonder if its a setting, but FF at home and IE7 at work, when I try to click on quick reply and try to click any of the icons, it wont active, I normally have to click on quote to be able to reply, I didnt think it was a setting in my user CP, and two different PC/Browsers wasnt sure what the problem is.
Um.. why not just download KAISER TWEAK. It has all those annoying options in there so you can tweak them yourself. Do a search for it.
Kaisertweek does fix most of the issues you are talking about and you don't even need to search, all you have to do is LOOK at the first page of the Kasier general forum, it is one of the stickies on the first page.
Good luck with your Kaiser
Ok this fixed most of my issues. I got to check out something else tomorrow and see if I'm still having the problem.
Hi I've looked around and wasn't able to find an answer.
I've had the Diamond for about a week and it seems to freeze on me atleast a couple times a day. The only way i can get it back is if i take off the battery cover and do a soft reset from there.
If someone tell me where i can find the answer to this fix or even if someone can tell me how to fix this problem i would really appreciate it.
Also would this problem stop if i flashed it with a new rom? and if yes and someone knows which rom is the best for the Telus network, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks for any help at all guys!
Hi, have you noticed any particular patterns for the crashing? Any particular software being used?
By the way, "brick" tends to mean permanently dead, for example after a bad flash:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brick_(electronics)
Well actually nothing in particular and plus i have lots of ram to spare as well when it does this. Like anywhere from 120mb to 150mb free ram.
not sure if anyone else is having this problem, i mainly hate the freezing because of the soft reset button being under the battery cover, was so much easier on my old titan

i'd try a hard reset. i'm assuming you know what the entails. usually fixes strange issues for me when a solution is not immediately available. but someone more brainy will have a solution for you later. i'm not at all familiar with cdma diamonds.

When I first got my Telus Diamond it was crap, the interface was slow, tf3d was unreliable, playing mp3's was painful to say the least and the battery life was horrendous. I later flashed to a custom ROM and will never go back. Custom ROMS will improve everything from the performance to the freezing and even improve your battery life. As for which ROM I would suggest. Right now I'm on Juicy 3.2 but I have played around with a number of others including MightyStableRom or MSR, last I tried was 2.2 or 2.3 can't remember. Really it is a personal preference whose ROM you go with. The two I named you can't go wrong with. Once you try it though trust me you will be hooked. I've flashed my Diamond like 20+ times already, so much fun and great improvements. Let us know if you have anymore questions!
Thanks a lot guys!
Could anyone point me to a thread where it tell me how to flash my CDMA diamond step by step?
I'm willing to try anything because i love the phone but hate the freezing and the crappy Batt. life.
Hey majorassface, since your with telus and you have flashed your phone numerous times now, do you know where i can download all the telus stock stuff like the spl, radio rom, & stock rom?
So if for any reason i need to take it back to telus for repairs i can flash it back.
Thanks again!
I have a Tilt, with the newest cooked hyperdragon rom! I love my phone and have loved this forum from day one.
I have put many roms on my phone since I got it about a year ago. I have probably put a total of 20 different roms on there. And now I am starting to think that my phone has had enough.
Since this last rom and the one currently before this one have started acting "tweaky" per say! I know of course the phone does not have a virus, but is acting like a virus would.
FOR EXAMPLE, when I open a new window part of the window before it is is still present like lets say the bottom bar of the home page or the Top bar!
It's also acting very slow at times.
I know that I can do the good ol' hard reset. But at this particular point I don't know if that is going to work because I had done it already and It didn't fix the problem. And unfortanuately I have some things on my phone that I had purchased and have no way of saving. If you have a good idea, maybe a program where I can clean out the phone, or perhaps suggestions on what program etc.. might be causing this! Thank you so much in advance!
Try flashing to one of the HTC or att roms to see what happens.
Hey everyone, I'm VERY new to this forum. I have no idea if this post belongs here, so if it doesn't please forgive me. I have spent a lot of time "ghosting" this forum for advice as well as tips and I can't seem to find any threads specifically tethered to my questions.
First off, I'm not even sure I should be posting here because I'm unsure on whether or not questions about the FUZE should be in the Raphael section. I know it's the same phone but I couldn't find one specifically for the FUZE.
Anyway, I'm having a couple problems (mainly with the new rom 5.11 from the htc website.)
The first and formost, I hate the new messaging style they have. I carry my phone in my pocket, and I hate how my phone wakes up every time I get a text message. My screen keeps getting touched after I get a text and ends up pressing things I don't want it to. Also, it used to be that if you kept a convo opened, all the texts you received would count as read. Not the case anymore. I now have to open and close the conversation once for each message I received. 10 messages means opening and closing 10 times. That's ridiculous...I don't want to have to spend a lot of time getting my phone to register I read the texts. My last problem with the messaging, is I used to be able to open the keyboard, and start typing, not worrying about trying o find the last message I received. Unfortunately, now I have to scroll all the way down to read the message, and I have to click the entry box to type. The last one isn't really that big of a problem, it's just more of an inconvience.
The next problem I'm having is my phone likes to use WAY too much battery to do anything. Even when I have no programs running in the task manager, my usage is at 48% (give or take 2%). I know I read somewhere on XDA about a rom that uses 25%, and starts up quickly, but I have no idea where I read that.
I'm not looking for people to just hand me answers or programs or anything like that, but if you guys can just link me to the thread containing where I could possibly find what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance guys, Nitro
Hey Nitro i'm going to try and answer your questions (since im still somewhat new im not sure ill be 100% right but ill try =D) ok so for the messaging thing. that is a rom specific thing i think. Becasue i am using a WinMo 6.5 rom and dont have that issue. As for the second thing im not sure if its a WinMo 6.1 problem but i kind of remeber it being a reason i switched to 6.5. Now for battery life you should go into the roms section and look for some kind of rom that says something about energy (usualy there is one in the top list). How ever most of the new rom's are on 6.5 so... you will have to either look far back in the pages or upgrade (and maby if your lucky there might be a 6.1 in the top list.) The energy rom's will also affect your ram usage but be warned it will have an impact on how fast your phone is. So you might have to do a bit of testing to see which ones are for you. Also when looking for the rom make sure it says for the fuze on that page if it is not you can still use it (however you will need to get a thing called keyboard switcher because its really funny when you are trying to send an email and press the @ on your keyboard and get the number 2 =P. Any way here is a link to the roms Link to roms
Thanks for the reply.
I had no idea WM 6.5 was even out...That's awesome. I'm gonna play around a bit with those roms to see if one is better...Thanks for your help
So today I found another big problem I have with the rom I have...I can no longer send a text to more then one person at a time...Why did they take that out?? I used to be able to send a message to a bunch of people, and it worked perfectly, but now it only registered the first person. I noe have to send the same message 15 times just so everyone gets it...Like seriously, As if the rom using 50% power isn't enough, let's make people take 10 minutes to do something that should take 30 seconds. I officially hate the software devs at HTC.
Just as a funny side note, it took me 4-5 min to write this message, and my battery went from 100% down to 92%...AWESOME! God I hate this.
Hello there
You may want to flash a new ROM and Radio to your phone. Its not a difficult task and you will like the results. I personally use NRG's ROM Here and love it.
The radio rom is really what conserves battery life. I matched the latest one on the radio page here to the rom i linked above ( Radio 1.14.25.35) . Its a good combination if you ask me. I see that you are just north of me in PA ( Im in Baltimore ) and also on ATT. To be honest you may have to play with radios until you find the balance between signal strength and battery. What works for me may work for you because we are in the same general area with the same cellular provider. My battery has been off charge for more than 2 hrs and im at 98% ( although ive been on my laptop for the most part).
As far as accidentally hitting buttons, I use a slide lock on my screen ( like the Iphone screen lock) so when it turns on, you have to use the slider to unlock it. This will not only lock your phone from accidental misdials and screen taps, but also it shuts the screen BACK OFF after a set number of seconds therefore conserving your battery !!!!!! This is the application I use . Download the VGA version.
If you need help, feel free to send me a PM here and Ill do my best
P.S.
This is the right place to make a post. A Fuze is a Raphael.
Okay so my optical joystick is going haywire.
I'm assuming there is some dirt stuck in there that is making it go crazy.
Every time I press the start button to wake it up it performs a bunch of weird actions,
like going directly to the call log, and Ive managed to call a bunch of friends by mistake..
Really annoying.
Now I've tried different roms and so on so I know it's a hardware problem,
I guess I might be able to fix it if i crack it open and clean it,
but I'm not too confident doing that.
So instead I've tried to disable the damned pad, since I never use it.
But it won't work.. The setting is turned off...
(As seen in the attachment)
...But it's STILL "working".
(And yes I've rebooted it since applying those settings)
Is there a way to shut this thing down in the registry?
I'm loosing my mind here. T_T
Edit: I'm on Winmo 6.1 btw.
yes there is, mine isn't working too good either, so I turned it off, but when accessing the Media Experience Panel it automatically turns back on.
I searched through the registry and found something out:
Search for everything OJ (short for Optical Joystick). You'll find
hklm\\software\drivers\oj\
Somewhere in there it can be turned off although I don't exactly know any more how I have done it. The only thing I know is that I have searched for OJ in the registry and with that I got my answer. I believe I removed a key. Check it out and before actually changing something don't forget to make a backup of the registry.
I hope you'll get it done.
Thanks man, but it didn't work.
I even went as far as deleting the whole OJ folder along with it's sub folders.
No change whatsoever. T_T
Can it be so damned hard to shut this bastard off?
It's seriously making my phone unusable,
and of course the warranty expired less than a month ago.
Im not completely sure if this has the option to turn it off, but give it a try anyways, its got alot of neat things in it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=440035
Ill search for the advanced version im thinking about.
Sigh, couldn't find a fix for it, so I just took it apart and unplugged the button. And the phone is still alive, yay.
Anyhow, thanks for your help guys!

I think you can just order a replacement part on the cheap
