The options to cut, copy, or paste are all available on my tap and hold menus. However, 'paste' is always grayed-out no matter how many times I choose to cut or copy a certain text. It doesn't function even within a single application or one file such as Notes.
Anyone know what the problem might be?
I don't wanna have to hard-reset my device to solve it, please.
Thanks a lot,

Hi guys! Had my M5000 for about 10 days now and finally getting used to it but I wonder if anyone canm help with any of the following questions??
1. How do we edit the dictionary?? I can't even find how to add words and that would be REALLY handy as I normally use the phone pad for typing!
2. Can we select a default input method? (I use the phone pad but it always reverts to popup keyboard)
3. Can we change what the soft keys to on the today screen? (I'd dearly love to change Calendar to Messaging!)
4. I prefer to keep event, program and notification sounds all turned on but can I disable the start button click and the noise it makes when opening programs or settings??
5. My device is set to turn off after three mins - Is there a way to make it turn on again when I press ANY button? (I swear the power button moves in the dark lol)
6. When I go into my games menu it takes just over 40 seconds to list them all (I have about 20 games all installed on my memory card) - Does anyone know what might cause this??
7. Is there a way to get these phones to receive files over bluetooth from other make of phone? Mates with both Nokias and Sony have tried sending me pictures over BT but no luck
Think that's it for now - Sorry if any of these are stupid questions with obvious answers that I've missed but I'm pretty sure I've tried every damn menu on the device now lol! I'm also hoping that there's things here that other people would also like ot know!
Thanks
1. The dictionary can have words added to it by making a document in Word (named, for example: 'Personal dictionary') and saving it. Any word you add will be in the dictionary from that point on (as long as the document is not deleted).
3. Try registry hack here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
5. Try 'Settings' - 'Buttons' - Lock tab - 'Do not lock buttons'
4. Not sure if there's a reg hack for it, I've searched for the filenames below and their paths to no avail. but the only other way would be to remove the following files from \Windows:
hwandsw.wav
MenuPop.wav
If you remove or copy these to a different location, then you won't hear anything. During the old XDA / XDA2 and i phases, I used to swap the WM2002/3 sounds for PC Windows noises. Later, when it came to 2005, I used the set contained on here as they were much nicer.
6. If they're on the SD card then presumably it has to search the SD for all of the .exe files. This could be improved by perhaps defragging your card (StorageTools is a good app for this). Another thing may be to try creating links to your game .exes in a folder on the PHONE, and replace the Start > Programs > Games icons with links to the PHONE copies. You can add / remove these by going to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games
7. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry - look for the section entitled To change the ability to receive files via Bluetooth (OBEX)

Hi
The registry obex 'hack' does exactly the same thing as going to settings, comms, beam, and clicking the selection box 'recieve all beams' Beam = Ir AND Bluetooth.
I find that the button lock setting does not work. With it set to 'do not lock' you still cant press any button to switch the unit on

Thanks for the tips guys
Maybe I should have been more specific with the dictionary thing - I want to be able to add words to the predictive text (Town/friends names for example) - Does adding them to the dictionary do this??
Yes, adding any words to the dictionary adds them to predictive text, as well. The predictive text uses the dictionary.
Plus you'll find that as you type more and more, it will automatically add words you spell out it doesn't recognise.

Thanks guys - Especially for the registry link - Some REALLY great stuff there
hmmmmm... One quickie though:
For example, to change the left-hand softkey to start Pocket Excel you would set
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Pocket Excel
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = \windows\pxl.exe
Anyone know how I set this to open contacts???
Is there any torch / flashlight app where it turns the screen completely white with max backlight settings? Something like NiceLight for S60.
I've found one but it doesn't alter the screen brightness.
Many thanks
This works on the HD (but I don't use the torch much): pda.jasnapaka.com/plamp/
tried this one, and i like it, but it seems not to install. i can run it from the file, but i cant make a shortcut bescause it doesnt come up in the programs list. Anyone experience the same?
I have tried this too but the brightness intensity doesn't seem to work with the HD.

You can create a shortcut by using file explorer. Copy and then Paste shortcut into windows/start menu/programs
(please note when pasting it's easier to use "menu>edit>paste shortcut" located bottom-right)
Now you have the app in your program list to do whatever you want with it.
wired, there are to programs witch I cannot add, and both are in the filder you tell me to add to. if i put them in the programs folder-my unit programs-were other programs are, they still wont show on the list so i have to run them from file xplorer. beats me
I'm trying to understand what you're saying...
Make sure you've actually created a shortcut and not the program itself e.g. "shortcut to pLamp" and not pLamp.
Soft reset may help.
understanding now, i moved the programe. But i can only cut it and copy in that menu, it doesnt say copy shortcut, so den i cant paste the shortcut?
Probably me beeing noob so thanks for trying to help
Got it, found another folder called programs, then it worked
thank you very mutch
Hi,
How do you guys do a multiple selection in lists such as email list or sms list? It's allways scrolling, impossible to do multiple select!
It goes...
I have Czech Rom, so maybe it is called otherwise...
In sms list tap right menu (MENU) - Select Messages - Several (maybe another some etc)
then select sms you wants and menu - delete for example
Thanks, I just realized after posting the message that it's possible to scroll the menu and to find the "Select messages" submenu.
but what about the other selections
while i am using the file explorer, i can not make multiple selections. i opened the menubar but there was no thing like selekting aditional files or of such kind pls advise!
German w6.5 on Mega
Thanx
You can use the Edit/Select All option but it only selects all the files. I didn't found the way to select only some files.
I select it in Pocket Total Commander, in the botton bar is CTRL button

you need to use the stylus, tap-hold-drag. the hold must be just long enough to select and 'grab' the first cell but not long enough the bring up menu.
Dear All
copy and paste option which normally activated when you hold your finger on a text and allow you to select all text and copy it then paste is suddenly disappeared in my HD2
is there any way to restore this function again other than hard reset
Rom 1.48
Thank you
what do you see after you hold your finger?
do you see a menu at all or don't you even get that?
can you give an example (application from where you want to copy)

Thank you very much donSjon for your reply
as example now when i hold my finger on a text of sms nothing happen
but before when i hold on sms there was a small menu giving me the option to select all text and copy it then i can paste it in another application like email
I'm also on rom 1.48, but never had this problem.
what were the latest apps you installed?
and before you do a hard reset, maybe also upgrade to rom1.66 at the same time ;-) (if it has been released for your language at least)
Hello everybody and congrats for the good work!
On page 276 of the user manual, concerning the file explorer it is being said: "To copy or delete multiple files, tap and drag over the desired files, press and hold the selection, and then choose an option from the menu."
Well, this is possible only if the list of the files doesn't exceed the vertical size of the phone's screen.
Once it does, meaning there are a lot of files in the folder, tapping and dragging leads to scrolling down/up the list!
Do you know how to fix this?
Thnx in advance!
assuming you mean the built in file manager.
menu - select files- several
better still, try resco . with resco you drag your finger down the icons to multi select, and it auto scrolls as you drag.
Well I am afraid that this option is not available. I mean, when I hit Menu, there is no option Select Files-Several.
My Menu is in Greek, and the only similar option is: Menu-Edit-Select All, but all is not what I want, obviously.
Resco explorer seems very good, indeed. But I am tired of paying so much money to purchase apps for my mobile phone.
And I think it is not descent at all, for such a devise, not to support, such a simple idea.
