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.

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 ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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:
...that show the keys on Today screen and who they are assigned to?
i always setup speed dial on every new phone then forget what they are
Use the picture dialer. There a long thread in these forums.
If you dont want to use pictures you can configure it to just have buttons and names.
duh -found it! - thanks
is there any easy way to get the small pics and have them in a horiz bar on today screen?
sorry, not really a question to you - i'll read the complete thread
The author of PQz wrote a screen dialer.
There's the Palm dialer.
And I use claunch and VJSMS etc.

I was a little ambiguous, I meant http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48545&highlight=
yep - that's the one! Thanks
btw do you know how to remove the owner information from the Today screen?
...it seems, if I use the Fit4Cat tweaker to turn off the skinning of the phone, the t-mobile dial pad goes back to being normal windows-look one, but the smartdial no longer works! If i choose the menu option, nothing happens and typing part of a number in doesnt do a contacts lookup. Does anyone know what went wrong?
I don't know the why's and where fores but I hear you on the ugly TMobile Dialpad.
I used one of THESE (the reptile_red one) to change thedial pad and I still have smart dial functionality.
Hi everyone! I've been reading for the last 3 weeks and finally decided to buy a tmobile mda.
I like it.
I want to do some customizationg but here is my thoughts...
1st issue i want to fix without changing skins would be...
when you are on the Dialpad, why can't you use the Dpad to punch in numbers or select CALL HISTORY....is there a way to do this?
when you first select the dialpad the "talk" button is highlighted PINK (tmobile) I wish i could push up on the dpad to get to call history or speed dial!
Thank you for your help.
Hi!
yesterday, I wanted to dial a number using the dialer of my Touch HD. I did not do this for a while, so I was pretty surprised to see a VERY messed up dialer window. The numpad was somehow shifted and not complete, so dialing a "1" resulted in a "4". Some parts of my Spb-Lifestyle wallpaper were visible. Long story short, the whole thing looks very ugly and dialing is almost impossible.
Later on, I found a second issue: calling a friend via the contact screen, I realised that the whole "during the call" screen is gone (the one with "hold call" etc), the screen just goes black during calls except the "keypad" button at the bottom (which does not work, as I said before).
I have absolutely no clue what causes these problems with the dialer. Since it worked the last time, I installed several things:
- Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 --> uninstalled it, no change
- ChangeScreen --> disabled it, no effect
- HTC hotfix for accepting calls --> unistalled it, no change
- Navigon --> did not yet try uninstalling
- I tried to get it fixed by installing IPC black dialer, no improvement (the messed-up screens are black now - wow! )
My ROM is Dutty 2.9.
It would be great if you guys have a suggestion how I can fix my dialer!
Thanks in advance!
