speed access to speed dial and call history

Good morning all,
is there a way to access these features swiftly with a single hand?
I was thinking of mapping the 5 way navigation pad like if pressed down while phone pad is running it gets the call history and of pressed up it gets the speed dial.
I guess this is very inportant while driving
wish all a lovely day,

By the way Vijay555 do you have the same for qtek s100/Magician?
(I know it may not be the right place...)

I've made most of VJPhoneShortcuts for WM5 and WM2003. I'm not sure if the Speakerphone can be enabled on WM2003 through software, it's not "accesible" in the same way as on WM5. I got bored of looking for a way to do it a while back.
I can't remember if I've released the Wm2003 versions. If not, tell me what you need and I'll try to pack it up.

PS Kudos on the Psion 5. Still the best form factor I ever used. Love it.

Basically I am using your tools:
-Jump to SpeedDialer
-Jump to CallHistory
I associated them with green key and red key with xbar.
So I just press action to call xbar and press green or red to speed dial or to get to history.
That is very convinient and I thank you every day (even if xbar was able to simulate a click on the screen button through a macro, it was not working landscape and it had a delay and if the Wizard was "thinking" the delay was too short sometimes).
Anyway I wanted to install it to a friend with a S100 and I got an error I checked on your website and you warn that it is WM5 phone compatible only.
So I was wondering if it was portable to WM2003SE?
thanks.
PS: Yeh 5mx, I open it from time to time. The screen size was really great and the keyboard... the move it is sliding outside... fantastic.
The drawback was the batteries.
But now you could fit the Universal's hardware in this form factor and it would look amazing to everybody.

meroupow: sorry for taking so long to respond to this one.
Unfortunately, the way WM2003 works is slightly different to Wm5 for this app. I spent quite a long time trying to figure it out, and then wrote another tool just to help me figure it out, and just got bored, but it can be done, and will be done. Eventually...

A solution to make ID Caller work !!!

Like many of you, I have been disappointed to see ID Caller not working well on Imate.
I have found a way to make it work almost 100% of the time.
Before posting this solution, I have been experiencing it for 1 month now with no noticeable issues.
Just put two shorcuts pointing to "IA_CID_Startup.exe" and "PhotoContacts.exe" in your startup directory "\windows\startup"
Then Soft Reset
After Soft reset wait for PhotoContacts.exe to load all your contacts and you are ready to enjoy ID Caller
Several things to watch out :
If the trick don't work at first, just soft reset until it works
Never make close "IA_CID_Startup.exe" and "PhotoContacts.exe". (they should always run in background)
If you are using programs that really close applications, just make exceptions for these two.
That's all.
Bye Bye

thanx man! ur solution solves the case...but consume a little bit of memory...hehe! but it works...
i've found out a easy solution 1 month ago...
U can use Memmaid to adjust the startup program sequence... 8)
Put "poutlook" at the top...and put IA_CallerID at the bottom....letting both have enough time to load...and it works with me....after every soft reset....

I'll try it, but all I did was rename poutlook.lnk to aapoutlook.lnk and IA_CallerID.lnk to zzIA_Callerid.lnk - no need for memmaid

for me, caller id has always worked as it should using photo contacts pro without any of those tricks or hacks.

Annoying beeps when changing in-call volume - FIXED

It doesn't bother me, but people on the other end of the line complain that the beeping the Tytn makes when changing volume during a call is too loud. Especially the beep at the top end of the volume slider.
I did a little digging (after searching and checking the wiki fruitlessly) and found a solution that I thought I'd share. 8) I'm new here so I'll let someone else update the wiki if this looks useful.
There are actually 3 different sounds in play here: the one at the bottom end of the slider (quietest), the one in the middle posisitions (standard), and the one at the top end of the slider (loudest). These are handled by 3 registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\LoudestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\QuietestInCallVolume
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\StandardInCallVolume
within each of these keys the default 'Script' value is 'p' for 'play'
Change the 'Script' value to blank (erase the 'p')
Now the sounds won't be played and won't annoy your friends. Bonus - at least perceived by me - since the tytn isn't playing those sounds, the volume actually changes MUCH FASTER, practically instantaneously - the way you'd (or at least I'd) like it to.
Hope this is useful to someone...

Great - that really REALLY bugged the hell out of me! One for fit4cat Hermes Tweaker maybe?

Wiki updated, but don't be shy to do it yourself next time
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
BTW, the tweak works perfect on my TyTN, thanks!

Great! I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Thanks pof.

Thank you so much.
Excellent update!

nice one! that was doing my nut!

FANTASTIC
This is my first post to this forum... and I have to say that since buying my TyTN I have been plagued with the obvious "buying it in france and wanting it in english with the french HW keyb" problems, and then annoying things like the volume beeps were just exasperating.
This has made a huge difference
THANK YOU very much!!!

sorry guys but i forgot to go into the registry editing... how can i do it? thanks ;-) and sorry

You need to use 3rd party software, like PHM Registry editor or Resco Registry...

I fixed my problem when i updated my tytn with imate rom. Now, volume changes are faster with no annoying sound.

Very nice!!!
Thanks - Rich

Thank you! It's always nice to find these new tweaks, and this one certainly makes a noticeable difference.

Thanks for the tweak, my ears are pleased with it already!!

nice one cheers!!

WOW ! I didn't realize so many people would benefit from this. I didn't find any discussion of it when I searched.
Glad I could help. I won't be shy about posting new stuff I find in the future.

I also suffered from this stupid htc/windows programing bug.
Thank you!!

I read about and implemented this right after you posted it. It works a treat.
THANKS!

Nice one, mightyeric. I've spread the word on other forums... (but made sure I credited you!!!)
Does anyone have the skills to make this into a CAB for easy install?

Excellent, thanks for the tip- My 'dial' sound seems to have changed or corrupted somehow (I don't see how I would have changed it) so I've turned it off now- very handy- thanks

This is something that can benefit ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices

I have been trying to work on something that will enable some sort of Haptic feed back on my XV6800. The Haptic feed back is a feature that enables vibration to the screen when you press on the screen. Such as the Voyager.
I dont intend to try and make this just to work with the XV6800 but for ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices and if it can others too.
There is a feature on my phone and on many others that allows our phones to play a sound when the screen is taped. I thought of an idea of why not replace the sound with vibration?
There is already a CAB out there that changes the dial tone into a vibration feedback ( when you press the dial buttons ) but it doesnt do much for the rest of the applications or screen.
So far I have been working on this for a couple of days but havent had much time to put much effort into it.
I was hoping that some developers / hackers can help out the cause and help develope or create a feature that enables this on ALL HTC Touch Screen Devices.
If I do find a way to do this I'll post my findings here, but any help to make this a reality would be gladly appreciated.

I was just reading about this very thing HERE: http://www.immersion.com/vt/haptics-for-mobile.php
I was wondering if somebody was going to give it a try. Good luck with it, BOO

it has already been done, and someone posted it up on these forums a while ago, probably buried extremely deeply by now... i forgot the name but i just know it's out there and although it worked, i quickly worried about battery life/hardware issues, so i uninstalled. i'll try to find it for you

Thank you. I am hoping that we can get this done.
I mean we are constantly trying to make our touch screen devices finger friendly. We enlarge buttons, the creation of Touch FLO and the Cube, enlarging menus and so on.
My theory is why not combine all these I deas with Haptic feedback and make it even more finger friendly and try to limit the use of the stylus. If made possible this would be able to work on any HTC Touch screen device or any WM Touch screen device out there.
This would also help users that have a hard time inputing anything into their phone. For example, some one trying to make a text message through t9 or even less then that just pressing on the screen to access a short cut with out having to pound their touch screen until it inputs that they are trying to press. This would help with that because it will acknowledge the input that was made.
Just an Idea

If this has been made possible for the entire touch screen and all applications including the standard OS please inform me of this find. I would gladly appreciate it.

yeah it was an application that ran in the background (maybe as a service, i don't remember), but every single tap created a vibrate feedback. argh i just looked around for it and i have no idea where to find it. it was in some thread, someone's reply had the app attached to it. something about how he knew someone who was working on it, and waited for that person's permission to post the app here on xda-dev. sigh.

Interesting. If it has been done already I wonder if we can replicate it and put it on this thread. That is if you dont find the link to the page or the program it self.

Thanks this is a good find.
Ill see if i can make it available using another method. Because they reported that it worked on every other tap of the screen and that it runs the battery down faster too.
What I might try to do is have mine work but have the option to disable it ( like the way you do when you disable screen tap sounds) to save battery power.

True like u said, i've tried it 2, but it do not respond to every fingertouch, if u can figur a way for an app that will respond 2 every touch even the small ones (where u don'nt need 2 hold for a sek before it regonise and verb.).. that will be really great

So far I have planned some steps on ways to do it through the registry but it is not perfect. I am not an expert programmer but I can give it a shot, but it might take a while since I am not as great as the experts here in XDA.
But I'll do what I can. If I do find a solution I will post it here, but any help to make this project possible would be great.

I would be happy if my phone would just vibrate on keyboard input.

I am running this older vibro cab. Works very well however...
The vibration lasts aslong as your finger has contact on the screen. It would be better if it just gave a quick blip of vibro each touch maybe?
When you slide a cube etc it virbos the whole movement.

Do you happen to have the CAB with you? Maybe I can find a way to change the effect this program does when you press the screen and lower the vibration feed back.
If I can do that then I can maybe create some registry settings to make the same effect but just replacing the sound that is emulated when you tap the screen. That way you can disable it or enable it when you want it. ( In case you need to save battery or something )

The length of the vibration should be shorter, other than that it's a really good tool.

wow i must be stupid. i just posted a thread about this yesterday. anyway, it'd be cool if we could figure out a way to just incorporate it into the registry, probly wouldn't use as much battary and stuff then.

This has been done already on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354890&page=2. On the second page, Kpyto posted a download link for it. I haven't tested it yet though so I can't tell you how well it works.

hows this coming along?

I tried the VOA program mentioned above, but i don't really like it - it's simply annoying by vibrating all the time when scrolling trough lists, or attempting to bring up a tap-and-hold context menu. Not to mention additional battery drain caused by the motor running for such long periods of time.
For me, much better screen tap confirmation is a very short vibra pulse - i often use Vibrate(50) as a confirmation in my mortscripts. That's only 50 milliseconds, but it' enough to be clearly felt, and since the motor is powered only for such short time, it causes almost no additional battery drain. I'd really love to see an application creating such confirmation instead of the screen tap sound.
I'd just like it to have customizable vibration time - since the minimal time needed to make vibration even noticeable can probably vary from device to device, and play nice with fTouchFlo - since both capture touchscreen events there are probably possible conflicts.
Good luck with the development. I hope you'll be able to realize this great idea

Lets hope some one makes this. isn't there anyone on these forums with great programing skills?

New: IPhone iAno -> PPCiano

I am not sure whether this is the right place to post my first attempt on Pocket PC or not in view of all the important and usefull applications.
But maybe you also have seen people playing Impossible Mission on IPhone and maybe you also wanted something like that for your XDA.
If you are interested, please check what I have created so far.
Very first Beta, only tested on XDA Prophet.
*Update*
Thank you all for your feedback
It boosts my notion to build some updates soon:
fight latency/delay
costum sounds
scrollable more keys/sounds

simple but good... thanks..

wow
thank you i love it

good..but i have 0.5 sec of latency

I have one minor complaint... Some of the notes aren't quite in tune
And one feature request: Having the sounds stored as files so that a "voice" can be selected/changed.

lol thats cool!
better sounds and less delay would be aweseome

Thanks...
It's working great on my X-tel WM5...

work mostly perfect

Hi I'm a musician, so forgive me please
feature Request:
better sounds
faster latency
Some notes are really not in tune!
not only one octave, would be nice to make it changeable
But thank you very much!!! really good for a first attempt!!!
ruebyi

It's running very smoothly on my Prophet, but I want more octaves!
Keep up the great work!

slight delay on HTC TOUCH
but i like it!

So it is very first beta yeah?. Now it is good but in future it can be awsome! More octaves please

Sorry, forgot to mention, it works with some delay on my XDA Terra

Works perfectly on Herald and Prophet (WM6 Both).
Thank you very much! Keep up good work.

Thanks! This is really cool. Works well on my Wizard. There is only one thing Im missing, a scroll or something to "move" the PPCiano. Keep up good work!

I've noticed a little quirk (at least on my Prophet) with the sounds. The first time each key is pressed, it has a small amount of lag between the keypress and the sound. After the initial press, the sound is almost instantaneous...

noticed the exact same thing after starting the program..pressing each key did initially have a small lag. But then they responded instantly afterwards.

I think a great way of adding more keys/octaves would be the ability to "grab" the keys and drag them across the screen to reveal further octaves...

Yes i also was thinking of something like that in these times of touch flow fever
