Hi , I would like to know if anybody figured out when sending an email or SMS how to go from "To:" to the actual message you will type without touching the screen ?
The Tab key didn't work for me .
Doesn't the down arrow do it? Works for me.
V
Both Tab and the Down arrow work for me. Just tried.
Press Message button to go to Pocket Outlook.
Tap LHS soft key to select New
Type first few letters of contact's name.
When number is suggested, press down arrow to select number.
Press Enter to fill in the number.
Press Tab to move to message area.
Type message
nope it doesn't on my xda exec, if I press the down arrow, the scroll bar will go down but the cursor is still on the "to:"
I dont' have a scrollbar anywhere on the New Message screen. I'm running in VGA landscape mode though. Maybe that's the difference.
Doesn't Tab work?
nope the tab + down key didn't work, it will go down on the scroll bar but the cursor will still be on on the "to:"
You said you were on VGA landscape mode, is it with ozvga ? or did you have asetting on the phone itself ?

Yeah - it's OzVGA.
Man, it would be really annoying if I had to use the stylus to create SMS. This is the biggest benefit for me: Doing (almost) everything in the system using only the keyboard. I hope you find a solution soon.
yeah, I just have to use my dirty fingers to put the cursor in the right place :?
One quick question, I have some app like wisbar/ netfront 3.3 in VGA already, if I install ozvga will it miss it up or they will still look the same ?
Or maybe there is only one way to find out.... :wink:
If you're using WA2 with OzVGA, you'll have to switch to a QVGA version of your Wisbar theme, otherwise it'll all go very weird. Not too much of a problem though, it just takes up a bit more space in your Themes folder having two versions of the same theme, and you need to switch them manually in WA2 when you switch resolutions.
This is because the system uses 96dpi (QVGA) icons, toolbars, fonts, etc, etc when running OzVGA.
thanks, I'll have a go.
still playing with it, just wait on an update so the phone can have a decent response time, miss my xdaIIs for that but, it is another subject 8)
Still love it BTW!
jeux_1, i have the same exact issue. It was driving my pretty crazy, but it helps to know someone else has this issue. Have you found a fix?
For the last three weeks, I was using the keyboard to write SMS, and my TAB key was moving the cursor from 'To' to the body of the message...
And now, suddenly, it does only a scroll down, like the down arrow, but stay in the 'To' field... :?
Any idea :?: it's really annoying....
Does anybody have an idea about that :?:
I think it is a bug for the O2 EXEC, my friend have an Orange one and work works fine.
I don't think there is a solution and it is a bug on the O2 one. Any of you guys can confirm ?
There is as well a new guy with a new Rom I will ask him if he has the same issue.
Actually, I use a Qtek 9000, different ROM
And it was working for at least three weeks... and now, it does'nt work anymore... smth changed, but I cannot find out what
here goes my theory..... :?
Ok, I found the solution.... my TAB key works again..
The problem came from Tweaks2k2 .NET, version 3.15... as soon as I apply changes with it, the TAB behavior changes... :evil:
Ok well, my phone has just starting have a problem!
When i press the button to bring up the phone app, and i want to use the down or up button to go down my list it does asbelow:
Up = Speed Dail
Down = Call History
Right = Contacts
Left = Messaging
I am using the Phone app from the WM6 rom by faria
Can anyone help, me work out how come this is doing it now!!! I have not changed anything!!!
It has smartskey installed. That is y it is behaving like this.
This is the function of smartskey, you can remove this setting by editting the smartskey.ini you'll get it in windows folder.

You really should use smartskey, makes the wizard easily 1 hand operable. (if you hold down the right softkey it clicks the top right corner (usually X or OK), or u can hold the left softkey and it clicks the Start) And it was installed in the WM6.0 cooked rom by faria.

Hello,
I love my HD but I've found a litle "Bug"... but perhaps someone has a solution...
When you open the dialer and type a name, the dialer filters all matching contacts... so far so good. When you have a phone with hardware-keys you can switch the number-type (office, mobile etc.) be pressing "left" or "right". But the HD has no Hardwarekeys for left an right... and the onscreen-keyboard in dialer-mode doesn't have onscreen.keys for left and right like the default onscreen-keyboard... for up and down (changing the filtered contact) there is the same problem
Was anyone a solution for that? perhaps we can write a litle program, that maps volume up/down to left and right when the dialer is active...
Sorry for that... I've you found the solution... you can swipe over a contact from left to right or from right ro left to change the number type.

What i want to do: Left key= drop down start menu, Right key= file explorer
However what happens is i get the start menu on the left soft key but i only get the file explorer on the right soft key for maybe one/two presses and after that its sets itself to launch Today. Is this normal, i.e do you have to have one of them set as Today? Please help. Thanks.
happens with my phone too...as soon as i reboot or switch panels my left key becomes left softkey and the right becomes today again...
i made an override with AE Buttons...
it seems u r using TF3d.
I have the same p, but for me AE Buttons dont't show the left or right softkeys? Have anyone solved this? It would be really great!!!
P.S.: Happy new year!!!

i do have the panel installed yes...why? does this cause this problem? ty
I have heard of a number of people that use TF3D have issues with the softkeys resetting to default. I personally don't use TF3D and have no issues with my custom softkey mappings.
Glad it's not just me experiencing this issue.
I've got a friend with an X1 with almost exactly the same software installed (TF3D also), he doesn't appear to be having the same issue.
So a while back I found a method to make my phone a "left or right handed" phone when i turn to landscape. I accidentally decided to be stupid and click left handed because it felt right at the time.
I now have realized that I am a true idiot and just feel uncomfortable when typing in this mode.
My Problem: I dont know how to change it back! I cant find where i did it the first time and no one apparently knows! Anyone know how to change the settings from left handed back to right handed?!
Change:
HKLM\\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI
1--->0
Then go: Start - Settings - System - Screen
I did that but my phone still doesnt go to the right handed side. It only goes to landscape mode when i twist it to the lift where the speaker is facing the left. I want my speaker to be facing the right (right handed).
Any suggestions?

Get a registry editor (search and you will find), HKLM is "HexKey Local Machine" drill down from there

Did the whole thing and changed it. However it still as i mentioned above after i edited it wont turn to the right side when i go to landscape. It will only go to landscape when i turn it to the left.
I FIGURED IT OUT YAY!!!!!
For Future Reference:
Get a Regedit!
Change:
HKLM\\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI
1---> 0
HKLM\\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeFixed
1---> 0
HKLM\\System\GDI\Rotation\LandscapeMode
4--->0
Then go: Start - Settings - System - Screen
You will get 3 Options:
1) Portrait
2) Right-handed Landscape
3) Left-handed Landscape
Reset your preferences as you wish!
I cant believe I called HTC and the representatives couldnt figure this out for me or tell me what to do!
Thanks for giving me a starting point guys!
Actually its still not working!
I change it to right handed and it wont keep the settings!
Can someone please tell me the settings they have in their Registry for his/her phone?
I just need to know what to put the settings to for a right handed keyboard.
So i thought i had it down but i didnt. The process above gave me the 3 options i was looking for however it will not stick. I chose the right handed option but as soon as i do so and click "ok." the whole WM os shifts to right handed landscape. I get out of the WM and get on to the manila and check the settings again. It has gone back to the portrait settings and will only go to the left again and not switch to the right...
Wow i need help this is frustrating!
