Hello All,
Not sure what happened with my last post. Seems to have disapeared.
Anyway, can anyone tell me how to load the default Phone Dialer? My Dopod keeps loading the T-Mobile dialer. This is a very ugly dialer.
Please let me know.
Thank you,
John
Have a little visit to my site. Take a copy of the PSK installer, find a dialler skin you like and copy it to your device. Tap on it using your file explorer and you'll have that dialler immediately available.
Cheers
Thank you!!!!
Worked perfect.
Auto Redial.
Hi Hshortt
I have been using ur phone skins for a while.. its grt especially those on PF are very good.
I wish if some one can develop a program to auto redial a dialed number in case its busy.. R U THE GUY I may be looking for..!!!
DO u know of any such program.. that would be a real nice application specially using the phone while driving...
Thanks...
SPG
Hey man!
Thanks for the commets, but nope I don't develop programs (yet!) I've not heard of an auto-redialer but that doesn't mean that one does not exist.
Cheerio
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but how do you get the deault dialing skin back? I tried the default.psk in the windows directory, but it gave me a different dialing skin again!

What about pressed buttons? How can I make them nice too?
Hello together
I found some very nice pocket weather icons in the internet. Now my question to you. Is it possible to use them in the HTC Home plugin? Is there a possibility to convert them easily to the needed format?
needed changes
.tga should be .png
file names - the numbers are not matching

Have you tried google? I actually typed "convert tga to png" and found millions of them on google.. most are paid software. If you dont want to pay for them, some give you free trial and I bet you can use it.... if you search more, i am sure you will find some free ones too..
maybe you could put up the pics here, and i am sure, some of u would help

Hello
to convert the icons from one format to another is one thing, the easiest. But the most important is, which icon name matches the correct one in the home plugin.
For exsample name pocket weather is 1.tga, does it match with HH_WEATHER_01.png at the home plug in? Not that the forecast says rain and it shows son because I used the wrong icon name.

I have a ? is there an app. that would allow you to add album art to individual songs on tf3d..
I know u can use windows media player but lets say im away from home and i come across an artist picture that i like.. rather than waiting to get home this program would allow me to add it rite there on the spot.
Ive done alot of searching and have not come across anything.. (or i might just be using the wrong keywords) iether way im a total newbie at this so any help would be welcomed and appriciated
Thank you all in advance.
Mmmm...
I don't know of any app that can do this, but you can always do it manually at any time:
Take a picture, or download the one you want from the internet. Rename it to 'Folder'. Place it in the folder that contains the track you want to associate the image with... navigate to Internal Storage\Music\Band Name\Album Name - Place the image named 'Folder' here.
Hope this at least gives you one solution
k i went to storage/music.. but all i see is all my music but no band name or album folder...
Do you have all your music in the same folder? Then this might come handy.
you can try my method in my blog, the link is in my Signatures...
hopes this helps...
Thankx guys for all the great help.
I appriciate all the good help

Graham,
Thanks for your tip. It works a treat on my Diamond. I had been searching for something to do this. There are other solutions, but I couldn't get them to work properly and this is a very simple method.
I have a couple of problems with the contact list and the phone favorites portion of the Sense UI.
1) Are there any way to display First name then Last name in contact list? Everyone in my contacts have Last name then First name.
2) Also, if it's just a company name, when you add a contact to the "shortcuts" (the 3x3 boxes), it says "No Name". There must be a way to fix that.. right? I'd hate to go into all of my contacts that only have business names and fix it by putting the company name in the first name field. Especially considering that I'm syncing contacts with Google contacts and I would prefer to have each field be accurate.
3) Lastly, because most of my contacts do not have pictures, and the "shortcuts" will only display first name. I would for example have 5 Johns w/o any way of immediately knowing which John it is. Are there any workarounds for that?
If it's a configuration setting for some/all of these issues, could someone please point them out to me? I apologize in advance if it's a simple thing and I just couldn't find where the settings are.
Allied to the points just raised - I would like to change my favourite contacts to display surname, not just the first name. Is there a workaround to achieve this please?
Bump. Are we the only 2 people that see these as issues? Or have you guys figured out some workarounds?
Count me in...i am shouting about this from my touch pro 2 time ... i have put a shortcut to contacts in main tab, and set it to view them filtered by company name, it helps a little.
To get first name first =
Find a contact, edit the contact... scroll all the way down to the bottom, and push the "more" button. Change the second "name choice" - I cant remember what exactly its named in english. But is should be the choice of how to vies the contact. In this form you can choose first og last name.
I have'nt figured out how to do/if its possible to mass change this. I have onlyd found one by one solution
Hope it was helpfull

Company logo as the contact picture perhaps? I've done that myself, far better than a blank box anyway.
Similar thing with your collection of Johns.

I think what you're trying to say is change the 'File as' to First name, Last name.
Perhaps there's a registry hack to change the default behaviour of this field?
ContactFix
Search for ContactFix v1.3 & this will do what you're looking for. I use this & it works great on HD2.

Yes ! That is the name of the field for changing first or last name Thanks !
could you point to me where ContactFix v1.3 is? I found a posting by someone with 4 cabs here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=966683&postcount=3
However, installing it does nothing on my HD2. Can you tell me where the ContactFix v1.3 is? thanks!
Bump. Could someone point me to the location for the ContactFix program? I searched but couldn't come up with exactly v1.3 of the program. Anyone?
Thanks in advance for the assistance!

I'm sorry to dig up an old thread of my own, but I still have an issue un-resolved from the ContactFix solution. The ContactFix solution does provide the sorting fix. However, in the Sense UI's "shortcuts" for the People, I can still only have a first name.
So if you've got 5-6 Johns and you don't have a picture for them, then you are pretty much screwed - you can't really tell which is which unless you have memorized exactly where on the shortcut list you've placed them.
HTC, could you please fix this? I really don't understand how something as basic as this was missed in QA!

I believe the shortcuts are meant to be used with a photo. There's no room there to put labels with first and lastname. So unless you name them John1, John2 etc, I don't think there's a solution.
30 seconds in MS paint should give you an image with Faceless John's full name typed on it. It's a reasonable workaround for those shadowy figures with no visible appearance.
Not perfect, but it's something.
Further to the earlier raised issue of contacts defaulting to File As.. Last Name, First Name.
I have between 450 - 500 contacts in Outlook and sync'd to my HD2 via Exchange Server. Works well. Nearly all of the time my contacts are added/edited on my laptop and I love the fact they are automatically 'there' on my phone.
I also like the HTC front-end interface for the Contacts bit of Windows Mobile 6.5, making it easier (finger friendly) to add contacts. However this interface neither gives you the option to default to File As.. First Name, Last Name nor let you change it on entry/edit. Instead you have to then go into the native WM6.5 Contacts bit and change it there. A bit of a pain and oversight in my opinion.
Ideally there'd be a way to set a default? Any ideas anyone?
Thanks in advance..
I'm sorry, but that's not a reasonable request from my point of view. The system should at least give you the option.
To be honest, I really think you've used to mediocre OS for too long. I did not just spend $800 so I can use MS Paint to paint a faceless John full name typed on it. If I spent $50, I might be okay with that, but not when I spend $800.

Actually, I have a question: Would a custom ROM for HD2 be able to fix this? I'm just asking about the possibility, not whether we can do it right now or not. I know that the phone is so new that we don't have custom ROMs yet.
But would it be possible for a custom cooked ROM alleviate issues like this?

Search for Contact Changer or Contact Fix. This does what you're looking for, even better it's free & works a treat. Hope this helps.
Try this...

Saw this somewhere, maybe on here..sorry to OP, cannot find original.
If you sync with outlook
Click on the person name
say the name is john smith if you click the “file as” drop down. it will show two option
“Smith john” and “john smith” click which one you want
You will need to do this to each name
Its only 3 click with a mouse so it wont take long unless you got 500 name to change lol…….
that sucks alot.. lol

SIMPLE SOLUTION: Just download and install the freeware application Contact Fix, also called Contact Changer on this website. Install the application (click on the .cab file within the file explorer of your phone). Then open the application by clicking on the shortcut in the windows menu. When you run it, it orders ALL your contact at once in less than a second, almost instantly. It won't change the default order though, so when you a new contact, you'll have to run the app again. But it's so easy and quick!
