I've got my first kind of PDA; the HTC Touch Dual..
I've found out the most functions of the Phone, but I still have a problem.
When I get a Text message, there is a small screen. The only Options I have then is to ignore the message or answer it.
I want to completely open the message and then I want to choose wether or not I want to answer it. Is there a option for..?
This is what i don't get about the phone, so I hope one of you guys can help me out.
BTW; I'm sorry if you can't understand my english. I'm from the Netherlands, So thats why.
welcome on board and good you chose a niki ;-)
please be reminded that all your questions are already answered ... use the search function and you will see .
i found areally excellent post of a extreme noob in the kasier thread . it is worth reading - give it a go
good luck to you and make search button your favorite ;-)
cheers
OK.. Ive tried that
I found an answer for my first two questions
But I still don't have an answer for my last 2.
I did found the tweaks, but i dont know how to ''insert'' them into my touch dual..
that's good ! ;-)
there are some reristry tweaks to get more battery life
you can not edit reg keys until you install a registry editor or explorer onto your niki .... i am using sktools ... but i know that there are various registry editors around here ( again serach ). if you are not sure how to edit keys or even how to use a reg editor google a bit about windows registry and and backup your old registry first bevor trying ! ;-)
as for the last question ... don't know what you exactly mean . do you want this message ? do you want to get rid of it ( edit values in start-settings-sounds and notifcations )
hope this helps
oke.. ill check that out..
But with that Text message stuff, I mean this;
With a normal phone, you get a warning that you have an SMS and then you can click on a button so it will open the text message.
I want this too on my HTC.
At the moment I only get a small notification screen with the text message written very small.
Then I only have the options to asnwer it or ignore it..
So I always have make several clicks to finally get to my sms..
alright .... i am led to believe that you have the option with the left softkey to read entire message and with the right softkey to ignore, mark read, reply, close etc - but i may be wrong.
workaround : request text with "the bottom line" only ;-)
... there maybe another xda dev who can help on last question.

i searched a ton of the threads and have found a lot of these questions asked, but not answered. so please if anyone can help me i am clueless with this. i dont like to touch registry stuff unless i absolutely have to, but i am willing to DL other programs like SIPChange to get stuff to work. anyway:
1. i am able to send texts via PocketCM which i think is awesome, but when i get a text, my phone no longer vibrates like it used to be4 PocketCM took over. is there anything i can do to fix this?
2. related to that one, can i make PocketCM my default text app? cuz it still pops up as new text notification and if i hit reply it goes to the WM default one
3. since ive been screwing around trying to solve these myself... i held down the phone icon, bringing up a new set of tabs, and went to the one all the way to the left. that brought up the default contacts page. now when i click on contacts on my screen, it brings that up instead of the incredible PocketCM! this is heartbreaking since i want PocketCM to be my default everything. even if i restart PocketCM it now defaults back to the Windows Contacts page...
any help at all is appreciated, thanks in advance
put this command inside the settings.ini of the skin (.cmt) file.
bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1. Not sure without looking into it further.
2. On my device I disabled the new text notification. Its now setup that whenever a new text msg comes in it goes to the pocketcm sms screen. The most recent msg's are at the top. Not sure how to change the reply button though.
3. Happened to me.. did a soft reset and it was back to normal again. Give that a try.
Also pocketcm has a forum on their site (www.pocketcm.com). Might wanna try there if you don't get the answers.

3. soft reset worked! thank you.
2. thats a good idea ill do that and if anything it will trick me into thinking that PocketCM is my default
1. soft reset actually fixed this too, but im wary that it might change...
as for shekhar, what issue is that addressing? making PocketCM the default text app?
thanks a lot for your help
wierd.. i open a new sms, it shows me the very bottom... ie blank !
i need to scroll up to see the message... why so?
better post a capture to study, thx !
hmm not easy for me to post but.. for example
from xxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxx
the message will open in this area which is blank.. i have to scroll UP to see the start..
reset doesnt help... could it be one of the registry settings got messed up? its very irritating.. imagine u open a new sms and it shows you the very botto,m of the scroll box.. u have to scroll up to see the begining of the sms ... pls !!! i need help
ahhh, now i understand what you mean. had that behaviour on my old imate.
I am not sure what caused this...it is a windows mobile problem and not device specific i think...
I did a hard reset back then and reinstalled all the applications.
oh no.. pls dont do this to me... i cant afford to hard reset..
anyone who knows this registry setting... PLS be kind to reply.
and why can't you hardreset? backup your pim data, hard reset, reinstall your apps (how many do you have? 10? thats done in minutes) and you are good to go.
too bad i dont remember what cause tthis damn behaviour...
i think its some dam* setting
why do MS has to come up with such a friendly os
argghhjj
Hey Leo,
This problem happened on my old HTC Universal. I believe it was because I was playing with font size/settings. Try changing the size of the system font in SETTINGS --> SYSTEM --> SCREEN --> Font Size (tab).
This may help you out. I can't really remember what solved the issue, or if i even did solve it at all. It's a simple thing worth trying anyways...
Hope that helps!
what is the default size? my system is 9.
anyone pls????? it is getting VERY disturbing
leobox1 cant see the font size in numbers in here. There is a bar where you are suppose to adjust the size from Smallest Largest. Its right in the middle for me.
Hope this may help
can I asked what you have installed?
It use to happen with me on my old HTC Kaiser it was related to "D-PAD Scroll Navigation unded PocketIE" which I had to disable. Have you installed a tweak program which could have enabled these options?
hi
i have sktools
tweak2k
pocket mechanic
advance tools
in tweaks2k2 go to internet settings untick pie smooth scrolling accept settings and reboot then try and open a sms.
ARRGHHH trial expired.. cansomeone point me which reg key is it?
BINGO !!!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation
- Change the value of the DWORD "4-Way Nav" into 1
this solve the SMS halfway prob... but of course i do not know what this breaks instead
ty all ...
please dont request regs or warez in the forum it's not alowed and will if don
many times result in a ban
oh.. rudegar.. you mistook me.. i meant which registry key is for that tweak.. as my key is expired.
On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me
There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after
Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
ah, excellent, thanks
just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)
I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?
lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second
someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?

What are you looking for? Are you tryting to navigate to the registry through file explorer? If so, you need a reg editor to do that...
You know this is an old thread, right?
yeah i know its a old thread... i had a registor editor.. actually acouple. i found what i was looking for.. just didnt start with hkml.. thanks though for replying..
Dear forum,
I am new to this forum. May I ask:
My new HTC HD2 does not vibrate or sound on text messages, despite all my efforts in the settings. Help?
Thank you.
David
Hey raveh,
I you scroll all the way to the settings tab, select "sound and diplay" (sorry i'm translatin from my french rom, so use your imagination if the terms are not exactly the same), then "notification sound", select one of the items (eg: text message), you'll see on top of the page a "scroller" Vibrate [Deactivated------Activated------Only]. You just have to select whichever one you want in every section of the settings.
Hope that helped
Cheers
too easy to solve this
Thank you, but this is the obvious, and it does not help at all.
I was even asked to go to setting, press menu, go to all settings, and from there to do it - it did not help either.
The HD2 sounds and vibrates to phone calls, but does not sound or vibrate to text messages. Any idea why?
Sincerely, David.
Hi Raveh, is your problem sounds and vibrates solved? I have similar problem on vibration.
Thank You.
vibration and sounds of text messages
Thank you for the interest.
What I found so far is interesting and goes like this:
When people buy this HD2 (a wonderful device, I think) the Hebrew speakers try to install a free Hebrew program. It works well but not perfectly. However, it stops the vibrations and sounds of the text messages. I did hard reset, the Hebrew was deleted, and the HD2 returned to vibrate and sound to text messages. Chats in Hebrew revealed this problem. Maybe other downloads do it as well, not only Hebrew, and probably not intentionally. One person posted a solution: he showed to go to the registry, and to change a numeric parameter (something like "1033" in the MUI folder there. I am not professional enough to do it. I will have to ask help from the real pros. If you do it, let me know here or write to [email protected].
Good day and best wishes, whereever and whoever you are.
Hi Thank for sharing. I do a factory reset and hard reset. But to no avail. Had try to search every forum, but still can't find any answers. I will bring it to htc service centre soon. Thank again.

I used to had the same problem and the solution that work for me was downloading this app called "VIBRATION WIDGET".. You just search for it on the market (i cant post links for now)
This is a widget that when you activate it pops up a window that ask you to turn on the vibration (notifications, calls, etc) just click YES/ACTIVATE and there you have it. Problem solved
You can also try with Sound Manager or something like that and change the settings that you can't change on the options that came with the device
Sorry about my awefull english
Thanks button if you find this usefull
Searched & Searched but couldn't find an answer on this forum or the TMOUS forum for my TMOUS HD2. When I get a text or sms and its in standby mode the text pops up but my only option is to "Hide" it. I am looking for a reg edit that gives me the choice to "open or View" it also. Thanks...Tj
anyone? know a reg edit...Tj
Pocketshield
I have seen several apps, can't remember where. But I use pocketshield, it lets me read message without unlocking phone.
Ok thx I'll give it a try...Tj
