Please Help with My HTC S740! - S740, S743 General

Hi Everyone,
This is my First WinMo device so please go easy on me. To Start, I really love this Phone but there's one thing thats REALLY bothering me. The Rotation Speed, The time it takes to switch from Portrait to Landscape is like 3 - 4 sec. sometimes 5 sec. I don't have any program installed yet and yes, I've closed anything that is running in the background.
Is there ANY Possible Way to increase the Rotation speed from Portrait to Landscape? I tried searching for updates via phone but there is none. Please help, I really want to keep this phone but the rotation speed is pushing me to sell it.

Swtiching to the simpliest homescreen is the only option.

Thanks
I have another question, How Can I change the homescreen to have 3 or 4 or 5 shortcut icon w/ everything else removed. In other words I want nothing on the homescreen but the 1 ROW of shortcut icon. similar to this but just 1 row: http://i41.tinypic.com/2uzs1u1.jpg

Have you tried a soft reset (turning off phone and removing battery for more than 10 seconds) ?
Switching from Portrait to Landscape on the homescreen can be within 1 second after a soft reset and certainly shouldn't be more than 2 seconds.

Changing the homescreen from "HTC Home" to the default Windows should come close.

Thanks Guys, it is A LOT faster now, I have one more issue.
how can I set the Default typing when I'm using the qwerty to T9. Every time I use the KB it is on abc, I have to press Fn Space and set it manually. It doesn't seem to remember whenever I use the QWERTY. anyway I can leave it on T9 whenever I'm using KB?
Thanks.

I Need help again, HOW do I re-Format My Memory Card(MicroSDHC) from My phone. I can't seem to fine that option.
One more thing, How can I install Opera Mini so that it would show up in Start menu. e.g when I go to mini.opera.com and d/l it to my phone using HTC IE a Java window pops up to install the program. but after I install it Opera Mini doesn't appear in Start Menu like my Google Map did. Is there anyway to fix this?

Opera Mini is a Java application. Therefore it installs (and appears) within Java console called JBed (it's in Accessories). Open JBed, hit Opera and it will run...
To put it in Start menu:
1. Open Notepad on your PC
2. Put in following line:
28#"\windows\jbed.exe" -run s0_
3. Save it as e.g. Opera.lnk (downcase .LNK)
4. Copy the file in Windows\Start Menu
It will appear in Programs and work immediately, if Opera is only one app within the JBed pool. If anything else is installed there as well, simply fiddle with the number s1_ , s2_ etc. until you'll hit the Opera.
It will keep Jbed icon, nevertheless, it works. I have mapped it on SpeeDial and I don't care about the icon anymore...

Touch Pro Pop Up On Screen Keyboard

How do I make this feature go away when in landscape mode and I am using the slider? Help!!!
Ummm, hit the keyboard icon right below the onscreen keyboard?
I want it to permanently stay down unless I tell it to pop up. It shouldn't pop up if the slider is out.
null keyboard. should solve the problem (i had it installed on my treo, and i think it should work fine on the TP)
http://discussion.treocentral.com/archive/index.php/t-129200.html
NullKB
While NullKB is the best on-screen keyboard fix I have seen, it's also the ONLY fix I have seen. I have been using it since I had the Sprint HTC Mogul. After installing on The Touch Pro, it tends to keep the KB at bay inconsistently. I am not sure if it stops working automatically upon soft reset but I wish it would control this issue unless otherwise directed.
download 'Advanced Configuration Tool'
Then in the Input section Disable 'auto deploy SIP'

I have never seen that option in Advanced Config.
I will check today to confirm.
I hate touching my phone while sharing internet, They always get cranky and it turns off for some reason.
Null keyboard works. Yay 4 Jugs rom has it built in.
I think he had a newer version then mine. Mine would just load a white box and stay up, His loads the box for a moment, then never comes back. But the bar will come up when its trying to deploy the keyboard.
This one has pissed me off for ages too. Just another one of those things Microsoft should have fixed several versions ago.
I dont think its nessarly their thing.
The dev's just are not writing something in to the phone to tell it to not put the keyboard up when you dont want it.
I dont think its a windows mobile thing at all.
Just remember, what devs think and what actuall users think are tottaly different.
We like no irritations unless we ask for them. They are thinking "well this would be good if the keyboard poped up here right now"
The other problem though with the OSK is that as soon as you bring it up, by accident, or purpose, it will pop up for everything after that. That is the one that bugs me the most.
----
Okay, I checked advanced config, and the option is there, i set it to disabled. Haven't tested it yet.
Working out another issue with standby at the moment.
Sarinhighwind,
Please let us know if the advanced config changed, worked. The on screen keyboard on my Sprint TP, pops up when I go into landscape mode, and then when I start to type using the slider key pad it disappears.
I don't want it to pop up at all.
Thanks.

Just checked, I forgot to earlier.
It does NOT work.
Like a lot of Advanced config features do not at the moment.
I used AC 3.3
The latest as I know of. Or maybe its 3.2 Whatever it was a few days ago when the TP came out.
This one has annoyed me as well... Using AC 3.2 it works well for me, the SKB does not deploy but it required a soft reset before it would work...
I use version 3.3 and it works fine for me. No more keyboard pop up here.
As above. YES you must do a soft reset before it works.
i see u guys arent recommending advanced config on the htc touch pro cdma .. is there one currently that is better... to change startup pick.. change soft key buttons....change order of tabs on tf3d
Another version of this question: how do I make the pop-up icon appear on every screen? (It does not appear on the today screen, for example).
you would use Diamond Tweak
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001
If you make this entry into the reg it turns it off most of the time, in opera doesn't work
I know this is an old topic but I was looking for a solution for my Verizon XV6850 Touch Pro and Diamond Tweak worked for me (on SSK's 2.1.1 rom) but it's the same thing your gonna have to soft reset.
This was most annoying for me because it would pop up when making calender appointments for drop down menus. If you have a drop down why do you need to type in the time???
Anyway it worked like a charm just go down to keyboard (popup) and select disable and you'll be set

Is there a REG Tweak that tells it to always start in 123 mode? My keyboard is stuck in 123 mode and won't switch when I press the abc button on the screen keyboard...

[APP][UPDATED Updated 26/01/2010] PLToggle - Toggle screen rotation

I made this program in answer to a request in the HD2 General forum, but thought I should post it here.
It's a small app that toggles the display orientation back and forth to the rotation of your choice, without the need for the g-sensor.
The default installation includes the settings screen (available from your start menu), and the application itself, which is available via a long-hold of the call button. When the application is first installed, it defaults to standard landscape (the left of the phone being the bottom), but this can be changed via the settings screen.
BIG THANKS!! to vonski and Eldorado9 for their patience and testing. Thanks guys
Have fun
Note:
Manila doesn't like being forced into landscape, so you can't use this app for that - sorry. It works upside-down, just not sideways. (I've got a HD2 with Sense/Manila 2.5)
Also, I've only tested this on a WVGA device and would like to know how it works on other resolution devices, so please feel free to private message me with any feedback regarding this.
Change details (26/01/2010)
Removed the long_send link that was originally being installed in the Windows folder.
For some reason, when you press the call button to answer a call, it executes the long_send link, despite only being a quick send.
This only happens when there's an incoming call. I've removed this link from the installer, but you still execute the toggle with a long-hold of the call button.
NOTE: The installer will remove the long_send link from your windows folder.
Change details (13/01/2010)
Added the settings screen so there's now only 1 installer, instead of 3.
If you do have the previous version, you can simply delete it from the windows folder, or just leave it and install this one.
It will override the existing version's functionality, despite being able to install it on your storage card now.
Great Job!
John,
Great job and thanks for this. First thing that comes to mind is why did you not combine these into one programme so one can have the option to go left, right or upside down without having to install 3 separate apps?
If its not difficult to do and you can spare the time to do it then I would be very interested in a single combined app that I could run off my quicklinks.
I'm subscribing to this thread to watch developments.
Thanks again.

It actually is 1 program, but the shortcut (long_send) is different in each zip file, and that tells the app which direction to rotate the display.
This started because someone asked for an app that would put their display in landscape and then back again, with a long-hold on the call button. After I'd done that for them, someone else asked for the opposite direction. Whilst doing that I remember that someone had once asked how to change the display to upside-down, so I did that at the same time.
The main idea here is that you pick a default rotation, and then you only have a button press to toggle it on and off. Anything more than that would require a UI and therefore more interaction, and since I'm trying to keep interaction to a minimum, that sort of goes against the principle of it.
I'll have a think about it though, but I think what you're suggesting is a completely different application. I'm not against doing that, but it won't be part of the development of this.
Thanks for the suggestion mate
Ah ok, I see. Also understand the "minimalist" philosophy behind the development.
The way I would use a programme like this would be to have it as a quicklink on my front screen (I tend not to link things to hardware buttons) which would then give me the options of (L)eft, (R)ight or (U)pside Down. If that requires a UI (I guess it does) then don't go to all that trouble.
The problem with me is I don't always rotate my device the same way all the time (I'm weird like that) although upside down is a new one on me (I remember Tubgirl, I think, asking for that).
Cheers anyway.
WB
Very nice....it's much more convenient than using BSBTweaks and shaking it... Thanks!
Just a quick question:
I use the Standard Windows Hardware Button Assignment and mapped my internet browser button with "rotate Screen"...
now here for the question: Is it possible to write that app for other buttons too? 'cause i'd love to have multifunction on my browser button and your app is almost perfect for it^^ short press = Opera, long hold = rotate... that would be SO AWESOME!!!!
btw: your app is great as it is now.... it's just a question^^

Thanks for the comment
I think to do what you've suggested, you'd need something like AEButtons. I've never used it myself, but I believe you can assign different actions for long and short button presses to hardware buttons.
Hope this helps
Thanks thanks thank you very much
another key assignement
is it possible to assignt the exe not to long send button but to windows start button (u know that one in the middle in htc leo-next to home button)
tnx in advance.

You'll need to look at other software for that. Try AEButtons. It's not something I use myself, but I believe it will do what you want.
tnx for the fast replay...actually i started to use that toggle and it works fine with long press key.
eve bsb tweek cant rotate application screen on LEO but that toggle does it.

Heh - They're far from honed! If it were a windows (PC) app I was building, I'd have no problems. I'm pretty nifty around windows on a PC, but mobile dev is pretty new to me, so I'm just picking it up as I go along. It's always good to find someone asking for something that makes me think "I could do that!"
Cheers for the comments mate - hope you like the new version

HD2 MorphGear Settings = Frustrating?

Hey guys im currently trying to change my morphgear screen settings to 150% but whenever i try to change it it just goes back to 100% yes ive read a lot of threads spent 3 hours looking for solutions but still no luck could anyone help me? should i buy a stylus? or should i use my tooth pick lol (it wouldnt work. Believe me i even used my tongue to press the 150% selection) I have no idea how to regedit it and what screen size should i use to make half of the screen the gba game then the other half is the controller help me please im really hungry and sleepy!
well it was a very hot topic in the morphgear port thread... they suggested to use the back button or something to make the settings "stick" in place... I don't remember and wouldn't know, since any methos i use simply works... anyway you'd better check the thread over at the themes and apps forum in the hd2 section, or to be faster, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593464
hey mate this happened to me as well, you just keep pressing the SCREEN SIZE again once its highlighted and it will scroll through the options
get a registry editor and In the registry go to HKCU - software - morphgear - (module you want to set eg gameboyadvance) - screensize (change value from 100% to window size)
i found the solution i used the on screen keyboard to save the settings (click the settings that you want to change then use the arrow keys to select it the press enter) for example
-Click screensize
-then open the onscreen keyboard
-then use the arrow keys to navigate up and down through sizes 100% 125% etc.
-press enter on your desired screen size OMG it worked! hahaha thanks guys for helping me out
For me, it works fine. What you need to do is 'double tab' or 'tab repaetly' at the setting icon to change the setting.
It takes me quite long time to find this out as well. Enjoy.
Note: I'm on MorphGear2.4.0.9_HD2v0.8

For the annoying language bar, you can opt for a better option. Use swiftkey or Smart keyboard and it will replaced the language bar with text prediction box. A lot more useful.
For me the most annoying thing is the blue theme that has got even worse and still can't be changed!!!
Other than that I'm pretty happy with the update. I might not say that in a few weeks once I've tried everything but for now I'm happy.

I've gone with anysoftkeyboard which is free and doesnt put anything on your screen.
In the 1.6 version of gmail - you could press shift+s and then select the text you wanted to copy into the clipboard.
Now that 2.1 has been released pressing shift+s just makes a cursor appear, which is fine if the x10 mini/pro had a trackball but it doesn't.
Does anyone know how to copy and paste in 2.1 gmail?

is it possible with anysoftkeboard to have an on-screen keyboard with multikeys (I mean [abc] [def] [ghi] ...)? because a whole screen keyboard in portrait mode is too small, that's why I have a minipro!

I'm not sure what you mean.. But in the gmail app you can copy text from any message (either a received, a draft or already sent) with the method that was described.

[Q] Assign QWERTY-buttons to shortcuts while at homescreen

Hi!
It struck me the other day,
that instead of placing your shortcuts on your home screens
why not assign a hardware button to them?
I though it would be very nice just pressing W on the keyboard instead of going through my contacts when I want to call my wife.
But I can't find a single app capable of doing such a thing.
The closest thing I found was Hbuttons for WindowsMobile
Anyone got any suggestions ?

The web site you linked to says to go to Settings > Application settings > Quick launch to change shortcuts.. but there's no such option on the x10 mini.
Also, loads of the shortcuts on that site are SEARCH + $KEY..
there's no search button on the x10 mini either...
what we need is a key mapper or something like they have on the snesoid emulater. if someone could extract it, maybe it'll work
Really? Sorry about that. My phone is in the service center right now and I just read that article a while back and thought it would be the same.
Would love a solution for this, it's a feature i miss atm from hbuttons
