is there any way to stop the functions of the 4way navi pad when in phone menu (they activate text messages, contacts, call history and speed dial). the reason is that when i try to delete a call from the log when i press left in the yes or no dialog the messaging menu opens every time.help please.
I guess you've installed Water's Smartskey.... I guess you'll have to disable / uninstall it then.
there is an option in teh smartskey.ini to disable this feature with out disabling teh whole plug-in. Edit teh ini file with notepad on your PC and you'll see it

hello
i have a 8125 and was hoping one of you unbelievably smart techies out there could whip something up for me or explain if it cannot be done. i was hoping to add a "Select all" option in the "Menu" just below "Delete" in my e-mail interface. basically if i have say 10 -20 e-mails i want to select rather than using the stylus and selecting all of them manually i would like to press "Menu" "Select all" then "Delete" can this be done??
any help would be greatly appreciated. also on another off topic note, when i use the "Meaasging" button at the top of the phone (the actual external hard mapped button) my phone switches to the mail accounts (i can see the name in the top menu) however there is no display the today screen is still visible where the e-mails should be. i have to close the mail and reopen it with the messaging shortcut from the start menu then all displays fine. i had a similar problem with the Pictures viewer and accidentaly came across a thread to rename 2 dll files, i did and that is now working. does anybody know how to fix this display issue with the messaging button
thanks again
So i changed from the 8125 to the wing and I have discovered it is much more difficult to send a new text message. You have to go through like 5 different commands...(open the message bar, select text message account, tap menu, scroll to new, scroll to sms) it just seems so tedious so i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make it so i can have new message be one of my soft key choices (preferably where the delete soft key is). Its really annoying.
Thanks BP
How about when you install the HTC Home plugin, I HAD one until i bricked my phone yesterday :'( it came with the PDAVIET rom which was released some time ago.
What it does is, it shows on the Today screen a link to Email and one to SMS.
That's probably the fastest way.
Cheers
how 'bout putting the command "new sms" under a softkey ?
Or simply install the program "name" (sorry forgot the name) that puts a "New" menu at your left soft-key in the today screen, from there you can choose sms, e-mail, mms etc.. Just search for New menu
Press Contacts softkey. Scroll to the intended recipient. Tap, hold, pick "Send Text Message". Type text message. Press Send softkey.
What's the problem?
How About VIJay?
Hello,
I use VijaySMS All the time... It allows you to make a shortcut (I use SPB Today so I create the shortcuts in there) that either starts a blank SMS or start one to a specific contact. You can find the program at Vijay's webpage here: http://www.vijay555.com/
Enjoy!
You could set up the Message button to automatically go to your SMS Inbox when you press it.
Messaging Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options...
Select Text/SMS and uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging." This will automatically open your SMS Inbox, thus eliminating the first two steps of your problem.
I have a PPC6800 and Alltel has been having some issue with Pic/Vid Messaging. They got it fixed today and it all works fine.
The issue I have is:
When i get a pic/vid message i get notify via windows since PA doesnt have any options on the default settings for pic/vid messaging. Anyway, once i get the message and use the windows menu to go to my pic message to view it all works.
Now comes the tricky part. Once I go to the message, view it and close it i go back to the today screen. If i click on my email or txt message icon on PA I can not access my messaging at all, txt, email, even if i go start/messaging it doesnt work. All other features of PA work fine, I can go to VM, missed calls, I can change profiles etc. I can even go into the set up section.
I can use all other aspects of my phone but once I click on PA it locks up my messaging feature.
Now if i open the pic/vid message, view it close it as before all works. Now if I DO NOT click on the email or txt icon on PA I can continue to use messaging fuctions like normail, but the second i tap on the email or txt icon on PA it locks up my messaging functions.
I have tested this 10 times at least and can duplicate it everytime I try it. What I need to know is how to fix this or what do I need to do to get you the information to fix it in the software. It seems it is a PA software issue since when I do not tap on PA icons all works fine. Also taping on the missed call, vm does not create this issue as they remain functional throughout the freeze of messaging.
Anyone else.. can you test this and see what happens on your 6800.
Thanks
Do you mean, tapping the messaging icon in phone alarm's today plugin doesn't open the messaging window/program?
--James
phone alarm
Correct. when i tap in the phonealarm plug in it only clicks and the same on sms icon.
Once i tap those i cant do any messaging functions until i soft reset to kill PA program totally.
Can anyone help or is it the phone. When I call someone you can press the home button and go to other applications, like messaging, mediascape, etc. But if press the dialler button, or retreive call in the notification bar, you can only get that call. How do you access the contacts menu? I needed numbers of people twice and I couldn't go into them without dropping the call first.....
WHen you're on a call and you press the home button... the calls still working in the background and from there then you can press the application screen and then select phonebook, and scroll through your contacts there. Hope that helped.
Yeah, don't click on the Dialer to check your contacts in the middle of a call, go to Phonebook instead in the Apps list.
So when setting up the people widget, is there a way to set up a shortcut that automatically calls someone, and another shortcut that automatically texts the same person?
Say, for example, I set up 2 different people widgets, on 2 different screens. On one screen, I have the people widget full of people and it's set to automatically call them on their mobile phone. On the next screen, I have a people widget with all the same contacts, but it's set to send a text message instead of call.
Is this possible? I can't figure out how to change the default action on 1 of them in the widget without changing it for that contact in all of the widgets.
It would sure be nice if I could have a screen full of contacts that have the default action as a text message, and another screen with the same contacts with the default action being to call them.
I set up 2 different groups- 1 called VIP, and the other called VIP text, but changing the default action of a contact in one of them changes it in the other too.
Sure you can do that, only don't use the widget. go to home screen long press, then select shortcut then person, then select your contact then when the contact screen comes up select a number then that shortcut will be put on the home screen, if you select one of the message numbers then that shortcut will text somebody. the other option is to use the quick contact option at the bottom of the contact screen this will put a shortcut icon on the home screen when you touch that icon a submenu will open that will give you the option to call text email or even navigate to that contact, there is also a subicon that will allow you to go to that contacts contact card, play around with it im sure you will find it is very easy to set it up the way you want.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, I know you can do it that way. I am trying to use the Widget though because it lets you add a whole group. If I could get it to work the way I want, I could add a group for calling, then a group for texting in another widget, and be done. Doing them 1 at a time takes a lot longer.
I replied in your topic at AndroidCentral, lol.
I've heard that the People widget can cost you some battery %'s...
The HTC People Widget scrolls though and lets you organize it by groups, so... I guess it's better in that case.
