So I have a habit of sliding the phone open and then pressing the hardware messaging key, and no matter what, it never seems to work. I press the button, and Ill see the today screen, but no messaging window. I have to slide it back closed and open again and everything sorts itself out.
I've tried looking, but haven't seen anyone complain about this particular problem. Anyone else fret about this? any solutions?
no one has this problem?

I find my X01HT in landscape mode when i wake him um with the "on" button, and have to wait for it to "think" a litle bit to obey me, while that, if I try to push any command he will go crazy and the image will stay locked in the last scene and will not get actualized... Kind of annoying thing, using black Satin... But i'll try schaps now to see if that goes away...

Im on WM5.
Vijay, I don't want to disable orientation permanently. Just sometimes, I want to start messaging, so in stanby mode itself, ill open and start it up. thats what confuses the 8525, thats all. I have to close the phone, and then slide it open again for it to regain consciousness!
Its no biggie, but i was just wondering if any1 else had a similar issue.
FINALLY... WHAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR

I've come to notice that no one REALLY knew how to fully disable screen rotation on WM devices.
Some offered 3rd party apps to get the job done, some only knew how to disable automatic rotation, but when the device went into standby and woke up again - the screen rotated back. So that didnt really work.
So if you're as desperate as i was about screen rotation,
this is what you need to do:
1. Get dotfred's free taskmanager HERE, and run it.
2. Go to "Devices" tab, and look for "MIS1:" device (oem_misc.dll)
3. Long-Tap on it, and tap on "Stop"
4. Long-Tap on it again, and now choose "Set Manual"
5. Go to "Notifications" tab, and look for "Notifications\NamedEvents\VCPowerWakeupEvent"
6. Tap on it to make it selected
7. Disable it
(In dotfred's taskmanager, there should be a button for disabling it, but for some reason some devices couldn't see the button icons, although the buttons are still clickable. Under the notifications list there is an empty light-blue line - the buttons are there, eventough you can't see them.
The disable buttons is somewhere i the middle of that light-blue line, just tap the center until a message box popps up and asks if you'd like to disable this notification - Tap on yes.)​All those steps are a one time deal - they stick even after an SR.
This has been tested on htc universal and works great.
The screen will keep its orientation even if you flip your screen, take out your built in keyboard, or turn the device off and back on.
The only time your screen will revert back to the original orientation is when you soft reset your device.
Hope this helps

I do alot of texting and if I could lock the screen in the landscape mode... that would be great... I know how to change the screen from portrait to landscape... problem is.. everytime I open or close the keyboard... it re-orients the screen.
The tilt has this function and it speeds up the texting process because the mogul doesnt have to re-orient the screen first.
My email is [email protected]
THanks for all your help in advance.

I did a quick google search for 'keep mogul in landscape'. The third hit was this. I think the app they are referring to will solve your problem. Drag it to the startup folder. I haven't tried the program myself cause I prefer portrait.
I will be compiling a list of tips and tricks as I'm getting used to my S740 that will hopefully help others ramp up more quickly.
Desired Result: I'd like to have my phone lock when the screen goes dark so I don't accidentally call someone from my pocket
Suggestion: assuming you've already tweaked your power settings to turn off display per your preferences, go to Settings, More, More, Key Lock. Select "Lock Device When Idle" and check "Unlock Device When Keypad is Opened"
Result: this ensures I don't call someone accidentally (power timeout for screen is set to 10 seconds, lock device when idle locks device when screen goes off) but still allows me to grab the phone from my pocket, open it, and txt someone without having to enter my pin.
Quickly Toggle Bluetooth On/Off
(an old favourite)
Desired Result: a quick way to toggle bluetooth on and off
Suggestion: install Bluetooth Toggler from this thread; map a SpeedDial button to it by going to the app (might be under Accessories), clicking Menu, Add to Speed Dial
Result: holding down that Speed Dial number = BT toggles

I have it in my 740 rom on my shadow. are you also missing the reg entries for the pictures homescreen plugin ?
I doubt they removed it from the cpr. check the home.xml to see if they just removed it from there.
Guys remember chomeconfig will not save your configs after reboot.
so any homescreen order will be reset to default after reboot. at least on my 740 rom it doesnt save because the HTC home.xml is diffrent then normal 6.1 home.xmls
can anyone realize a direct link to "write new sms" on the home page?!?
thank you in advance!

ShadowMike,
Thanks for your info. I used CHomeConfig to check and looks like the CMyPhotos there, but disabled by default on HTC Home . Wonder why they did that.
Viskas,
If you change the default home screen from HTC Home to Windows Sliding Panel, the SMS/Messages plugin allows you to create new sms from the home screen.
However, i believe you should also consider the faster way to write a new SMS from the home screen, which is to just start typing the contacts NAME from the home screen, and select send SMS using the softkey. I think this is the best and fastest way to do it.

To disable the HTC/TouchlessFlo/whatever black ugly volume bar, delete following registry key. The default system volume bar will appear next time you restart the device.
Code:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Services\HTCVOLUME

picture dialer
Anyone know of a way to add a picture dialer (like in touchflow 2/3D) to the homescreen, possibly via CHome Config? I really can't get used to only having the keyboard quickdials as an option.

ugly "beep" sound at call start
Hi,
I am trying to get rid of the "beep" sound that you hear when you press the green receiver to start a telephone call. In S710 one should exchange the file callstart.wav. In Windows Mobile 6, I cannot find this file. Anyone knows what to do ?
Thanks.

For people that want to have control on what is tweaked to allow them to easily revert back. You only have to add the following key to your registry for defaulting to abc mode instead of the annoying XT9 (see CM_ENT~1.001 in HTC_Touch_Dual_t9_problem_patch.CAB):
Key Name:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME
Value Name:
CarrierDefaultTextMode

All,
I am coming from a V10 to the V30 and there is an annoying aspect to the camera that's different and that are driving me nuts. I'm wondering if there's anyway to fix it or change the behavior of the camera.
1: I shoot on manual 100% of the time. I never use auto mode. When I close the camera or switch to another app and restart it, it goes from Manual/Pro back to auto mode. On the V10 it stayed in the mode I last left it (in my case manual). How can I make this work the way the V10 did? I hate auto mode since it doesn't save as RAW, and I lose shots because I have to change modes every time.
You can create a shortcut icon on your homescreen that goes straight into manual stills shooting mode. Long press on the camera icon and you'll get about four options. Each option has a handle on it that you can drag out and create another shortcut icon for that particular item. That's what I've done.
If you're using Nova, press and hold on the camera icon, then press and hold on Manual Camera, drag it onto your desktop.
This is not launcher dependent. It's a feature of the version of Android.
