I have dcd 3.04 and installed Home 2.1 and noticed that most of the time I have to press and hold or press firmly to hit "buttons" on the screen. It was not like this on my Wing or Tilt that I had before. Any way to change this in the registry?
AFAIK there are no adjustments to the sensitivity of the screen, taps are registered as either on or off.
NVM, I installed the No2Chem WM6.1 ROM and it got much better.

Hey guys, thanks for the help in advance! I have had my tp for 2 weeks now and i love it... i did install a few things like a cab for improving battery life found on ppc geeks website, i also edited the registry to allow me to tether it to my laptop, changed sending text messages so the annoying text sent message doesn't pop up, and finally changed the reply all to just reply when replying to email messages. aside from that i've installed a few apps like google maps, sensorlock, the flip clock (which i removed), fring, tiny twitter, and a weather database editor for the weather thing....
ok now that's all out of the way... somewhere along the way i've lost the ability to change the volume using the hardware buttons. when sitting at the home screen if i press the volume up, the big volume thing opens with the 2 options at the bottom for vibrate and silent, but if i press the volume up or down again, this screen dissapears and does not change the volume. i am still able to change the volume using my finger or the stylus, but this is annoying if i'm on a call or using my bluetooth headset.
i noticed yesterday that if my volume is all the way up and i press down on the volume button, the volume screen goes away like it has been, but highlights the clock, if i press it a few more times it highlights the next thing down (the call log) and again it selects the upcoming calendar events... eventually it minimizes the clock alltogether... this also happens when i press the arrow down.
i'm positive this has something to do with a registry hack or something i've installed, but i have finally got everything setup the way i like it, is there any way this feature can be restored??

Well you know the problem. You have two options. Hard reset or find the specific tweak or App that fiddled with the volume buttons.
Did you install anything like AE Buttons plus or anything else?
no, i haven't installed anything that affects buttons. i did do a hard reset, and installed only the things i knew work. everything was fine so i decided i would try a registry trick to allow me to use my tp as a means to access the internet... it worked fine but then i got a call and attempted to turn down the volume and it didn't work again.
i guess my question is, what/where is this controlled? is it something i can re-install? is there an alternative i can install?

What happened when you tried to turn down the volume. Please be very specific. The small details will matter on this one.
But one guess... You dsisabled the phone skin.
ok, when pressing volume down one time the volume screen comes on (this is the touch flow 3d volume thing) if i press volume down again to decrease the volume, the screen previously mentioned goes away and highlights the first today screen item, in this case it's the clock.
i have done some troubleshooting of my own... it doesn't seem that it's caused by anything i've installed or tweaked... i did a hard reset, and didn't install anything but went straight to the internet sharing app that comes installed on the tp. i tried to connect with usb, it failed and gave an error message (this is to be expected) but now i can't use the volume buttons... i've narrowed it as far as i can. i can do another hard reset, install all my apps and tweaks again and just avoid the internet sharing piece, but i kindof want that to work too. i would be satisfied to just fix the volume button problem and not try the internet sharing again if it's possible
edit: if the phone skin is disabled, how would i go about re-enabling it?
edit2: i did another hard reset, again didn't install anything this time... i decided i wanted to browse the internet, so i opened opera and it gave me a connection error (i'm in roaming) i dismissed the error and at the same time lost the ability to volume up and down............ any ideas?
Just an update in case anyone was following this
the dialer skin and the volume thing are totally seperate, i know this becuase i went into the registry and disabled the dialer skin to show the winmo default... the volume skin/app stayed the same.
i contacted htc support, the guy i spoke with claimed it to be a hardware issue... i refuse to believe that. this is clearly a software issue/bug
when doing a soft reset i can hit the hardware volume keys up and down before everything finishes loading and the default windows volume sliders appear and they work, but whenever the other volume program loads i can't get back to the windows default.
any help is greatly appreciated, i really don't want to replace my phone for something i know isn't a hardware issue
thanks for all the help but... i have figured out the problem... .net framework 3.5 is what's causing the volume "skin" to stop working... this is installed by default (at least on my phone) and is required to run certain apps (also previously installed)... i've notified htc... they said woops and that's about it
i was able to remove it or at least disable it with the tech's help, some apps wont work and i've noticed the weather app works sometimes and other times not at all. so if anyone else in the world is having this issue... get rid of .net framework v3.5
edit:thank you scrosler, for being the only one that even attempted to help me, you pointed me in the right direction!
i am having the same problem. i'll have to try removing the .net framework and see if that fixes my problem.
i should probably first figure out what apps are going to break if the framework is removed....
Hi. Does anybody have an idea how to switch off the display manually through pressing some keys or menu icons? I found only the timed automatic possibility in the battery settings, but I need the manual function too. On each of my previous phones (TyTN II, i780) it was always possible. Thanks for your help.
Use mortscript to turn-off display and then assign the script to a hardware button.

Hmm, a little bit to complicated, but thanks for the tip
So your not talking about putting it to sleep by touching the power button? I think all my wm devices have this feature, killing the screen instantly.
I'm not sure about the request - anyway isn't it what Rose does when you press and hold End Call button?

If you touch the power button on the Rose, a menu apears, wher you can choose: if you want to switch the whole phone off, lock the keys, call the task manager or the comm manager. There is unfortunatelly no option to switch only the display off

Pressing and holding the End Call button locks the keys, it doesnt switch the display off
...simply very easy, I am looking for something like psshutxp but for smartphones (WM 6.1 standard). You can everywhere find only the pocket PC version for WM professional, which you can not unfortunatelly install on a smartphone.
Yeah, I was thinking of the pro devices. They seem to get all the love anyway. There seems to not be a built in solution then. Setting the screen timeout real short would be only option and thats not a good option at all. If I come across anything I'll repost. I've just been using the red end key. But I'm so hooked on my touch pro right now I've forgotten the rose for awhile.
Here is the solution for all my troubles http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473017
Is there an app or reg change to allow the phone to come out of standby either by tapping touch screen or front keys? Have the phone in a SENA case and pressing the power button is cumbersome. Thanks Currently running WM5 but will be upgrading this weekend. Either HTC stock rom or AT&T.
I have found that HTC X-Button seems to change some of the hardware and software button functions. Particularly the volume.
I went to a Comedy show last night (Jo Caulfield, Lincoln, Very funny) and wanted to silence it so I didn't get picked on if my 'phone rang!
I was sure that if I pressed the Volume buttons, I got a little dialog come up that I could use to mute it. Pressing the hardware volume buttons seemed to be going up and down in the Today screen instead. Tapping on the little speaker icon in the top menu bar had no effect either. Then when I tapped on the Battery icon, the Radio icon (signal strength) these didn't work either.
Turning off HTC X-Button fixed all of these, and I have left it off for the time being.
I have not uninstalled X-Button yet, just turned it off in its control panel settings.
I was wondering if theres a patch of some sort that would remove the longer vibration when holding down the capacitive buttons (home, menu, back) keys. its kind of annoying that when i hold home to multitask it goes zzz. ZZZZZZ. instead of just one vibration.
im on steve's 1.6 and when i hold home to go to recent apps, it only vibrates once, so not sure about you or what rom you are running
I'm on stock 2.2 318

mine does it one time as well, 1.6.1 dj steve's, try disabling the haptic feedback under spare parts
If you go to Settings, Sounds and disable Haptic feedback, only does the "ZZZZ" without the first zz, zz.
Still, would be nice if it just did short vibration (zz) instead of long ZZZZ.
Thx. Fixed
Ok, I now have it completely silence. Just lift your finger just before the buzz! So not even a second.
