Am i the only person who really misses the "New" button in the bottom left hand corner of old Pocket PC devices i.e. 2003 SE and below?
I know how to remap the calendar button to another program, but is there anything out there that will do what the old "New" button used to do?
It's driving me crazy not to have it anymore!
Cheers to anyone who can help!
Nope. None. Gone. Sorry.
I mourn the New Button's passing daily myself...
I'm really surprised that no-one else seems that bothered about this... Do they know something we don't?
Is there another ap that allows you to start a new Task/Appt/Message etc... with just a couple of clicks?

Hello everyone,
I've discovered quite useful thing about contacts manager, but unfortunately don't know how to turn it on or off, it starts, let's say randomly.
Sometimes when (on today screen) i press right softkey which is by default assigned to 'contacts' and i get a list of names, i see something like a pop-up window with letter 'A' and by using the jogdial on the left side of the TyTN i can switch between the first letters of the names in contacts. Then i can select exact name without scrolling through all of the contacts in between A and f.e. G.
Unfortunately i don't know what is the cause of starting this feature, people at HTC support don't know nothing about it, and told me that it must be some kind of software glitch however I find it very useful, maybe someone else got the same thing? And someone does know how can it be turned on that it happens every time i want to find a contact? that would really be operating with one hand then
thanks in advance for opinions and advices
If it's what I think you mean, go to contacts.
For example, hold down down (on the dpad). It'll start scrolling the list for approx 5 seconds. After that, the large letter A will show up. Use the dpad to select appropriate contact start.
Otherwise use the sip to start typing your contact.

It works on all variants of the Tytn, you just go to contacts, press and hold down on the d pad and in a couple of seconds the 'pop up window' appears with a large letter, it just makes it easier to scroll through the contacts without having to get the stylus out.
Thanks guys !!
That's the 'pop-up' that I meant. Pressing and holding d-pad works. However I occasionaly get it when using jog-dial. In my opinion that would be even better for operating TyTN with one hand. Any clues on this one?
Hello all!
Sorry if this was asked earlier; didn't find anything like it in the search.
Basically, I really like PocketNAV's functionality; I'd just like it to be invisible unless I call it (via mapped button). Is there any way to get it to display nothing in the upper-right? If I uncheck everything it still has a grey bar in the upper-right (with the time) that blocks my icons. Any way to remove this, or other program just like PocketNAV that doesn't have that problem? Thanks!
Thank you,
Michael
I use SpbPocketPlus and it doesn't put anything in the upper right corner, though that's where you go to use it. For awhile I thought it was broken and then I figured out you have to actually press and hold in order to get it to display the drop down menu. Might be just what you're looking for.
Hi there just wondering if anyone had/has this problem and knows how to fix it. Basically when i go to reply to a text message by clicking on it (from inside TouchFlo) the keyboard appears, then dissapears. When i click on the box to type, the keyboard comes up, then jumps back down. I have to press the 'Keyboard' button when the keyboard is down (to bring it up) then type somthing (which doesn't appear) and then press space...to even start typing anything. It's really odd, i've tried re-flashing both stock and a few other ROM's...same wierd problem...anyone?
THANKS!
I also have the same problem. If i double tap a message from within touchflo there is no problem but if i tap it once i have the keyboard problem. It has been bugging me for a while as well! Although it's not major, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated.
haha it's really annoying the double clicking things doesnt work for me...anyone got a fix? also what rom are you running? thanks

talking to some of my friends, i've realised that this happens on general windows mobile, not just this phone, therefore i will re-post in order to gain more publicity. Thanks
Fortunately for me, everything is working fine, as in the manuals, even after using this set for over a year now. When I click "reply" from within TF, it automatically gives a text/message typing area and a keyboard area at the bottom half which stays there. I can drop the keyboard down (and up) by tapping (once) the keyboard icon at the bottom centre. no problem.
ha! it's lucky for some! What ROM are you using? Thanks

Hello,
So... I successfully remaped the left buttons to hardware Menu and Back buttons, but the top right is giving me headaches. It's set from 4 different places (Settings>Reader, NT Mod Manger, twl4030_keypad.kl file and from Cool Reader itself) to work as page back button, but it still turns the pages forward and I can't get what is forcing it to do so. I've tried to set it as a Menu button just from the twl4030_keypad file and it works as intended, but then again, when I set it to RIGHT_PREVPAGE it goes back to be a < button...
Any ideas how to fix this?
Anyone?
I've tried to bind PREVPAGE to the other buttons, but it doesn't seems to work at all. Am I doing something wrong or what?
Maybe the problem is that too many things are trying to control the button. If you want it to function that way for Cool Reader alone, why not let everything else off the hook and let Cool Reader do its thing? Just a thought. I've not encountered problems with hardware button assignments,but then I've only ever used NTMM to do the work.

Thanks for the reply!
It turns out that Cool Reader f*cked up somewhere. I re-installed it before, but I didn't notice that my settings were saved, so I thought the problem was somewhere else. BTW, Cool Reader's button assignment options didn't work at all - something was overriding them. What crossed my mind now was to delete the .cr3 folder and that fixed my problem.
P.S. Aaaaaand the problem is back! And I didn't even touched the Key actions... Interesting.
P.P.S. Changing the tap zones is messing with my hardware buttons... oh well.
P.P.S. So, when I change the left middle tap zone from previous to next page it also changes my top right button. Mystery solved. Right middle is also bugged.
Hi,
recently when I took my phone away from my ear to bring up the keypad during a call I was surprised to see some white menu overlay. I pressed the back button to get rid of it in order to be able to press the keypad button because I was in a hurry which is why i can't really remember what its options were. There were two or three and I think one them said something like 'Record call' but I could be wrong there. I have absolutely no idea where it came from and what might have triggered it. Has anyone seen this, too? Could it be some kind of bug and/or some function I accidentally discovered that's not really supposed to be accessible (by geographic or other reasons)?
It looked similar to this sketch from memory:
