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
Nigel
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.
Ant
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???
Hi there, sorry for the stupid question.

Hey, thks.
Appreciate it very much
This will, instead, open the phone app when you slide open the phone - which I personally think is better.

if you start to key a number you go to the phone app even when you have the pop out menu
so I don't see why disabling it

I second this! is it possible?
Yup it's possible.
Need to terminate 'ASLauncer.exe' in one of the Running Processes.
This will stop any application to run when u slide open the phone.

You need to have mortscript installed in the main memory
can this be done with the slide actions app?
if not you can get it to do other things instead
It works!
Thanks!
Hey,
I put the files exactly where you say to.
And it doesn't work.
I can manually start kill.exe and it will work
but for some reason it won't auto run on reset.
Can you give me full paths ?
Im running the latest Niki Project ROM from here, 6.1 professional
thanks

Hello,
The Run.mscr should be put in the \Windows\StartUp folder.
The Kill folder should be put in the \Program Files folder.
Simple fix
Hi there,
Also posted this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359887 but for completeness here it is again...
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.
Nope.. the slide open to answer call still function.... can always restart ur phone if anything abnormal.. then the ASLauncer.exe will appear again.. and ur action when slide open is as in operation again..
I can't open the win-mobile setting page.
If i press
Start -> Settings
nothing happens. It turns to the home screen of manila, even if i've open another tab, it will turn to home screen.
I don't know wich is the lastest software i've installed, it's a very long time ago, but the setting-screen-problem above exists till yesterday!
and because of this problem, i can't uninstall software or modify any settings...
does anybody know this problem and maybe a solutution?
i don't want to hard reset my diamond
I know this isn't a real solution, but you could try to install quickmenu. It gives you access to your settings folder and all of it's contents straight from the start menu. Maybe then you could get into settings and find the problem.

Thank you for your reply! but unfortunately the settings aren't shown in the QuickMenu too! I think my problem is deeper in the system as i thought...
it seems that the programm (or shortcut?) of the settings-page is broken...
is there a shortcut in the windows folder (or a registry-entry) or any other way to get to the setting-page?
thanks for replies....!
Hi guys,
I have a little problem here...
I tried to disable HTC Sense using Setting tab in Sense. OK, so far so good Sense is disabled.
But what if I want to enable it again?... Sense is not present therefore Settings tab is not reacheable, and any options are not reachable even from start menu. There is no settings icon :/
Any ideas?

Start/settings it should be there, if not, there's something really weird going on on your device.
Well, if it would be so easy I would not ask
There is not settings option in startmenu... Its the mentioned problem :/
Try this:
Go into the Windows Mobile Settings, NOT the Manila Settings (you need to active the option to see them in the menu, e.g. with the help of BSBTweaks..), then go to "TODAY", next TAB (Elements in German) and see there is the Manila option. If its unselected, select it, if its selected, make it unselected, softreset and select it again! This should help you. Give it a try and let us know!
-SY
Check this out to enable the missing "SETTINGS"!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=589305
Problem is that I tried to delete directory Windows/StartMenu/Settings and create it again. Since this I can see in start menu only one icon: "Today" which is shortcut for today screen only (same as one of hard keys on HD2).
Therefore I cant install BSBTweaks because I cant reach File Explorer or Total Commander or enything else
There are only three things which I can do with my phone right now:
1. soft reset
2. connect it to the PC via activesync
3. hard reset
Connect via activesync and let us know if you have anything in the folder \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
I have everything there as before this issue. But visible in phone is only Today icon.

Sounds like you've really screwed it mate. Guess that's a lesson - don't delete folders in the windows folder!
My advice would be a hard reset. Sorry - can't think of anything else.

and who's a silly billy then! hehe. looking like a hard reset, unless someone cares to zip up their settings folder for you to try replace your folder, not sure that would work though.
The following will work even if using the basic file explorer that comes with the phone:
- start file explorer
- click on menu (right soft key) and click on "show all files"
- go to Windows
- scroll until you find htcSettingEntry.exe (will take a bit of scrolling!)
- click on it, it will open the "all settings" screen, from there you can access the "today" settings and re-enable sense
Jesus Im piece of noob... I have created Settings folder in Windows/StarMenu/Programs not in Windows/StarMenu. I moved it to correct folder and it is up and running again
Isadoras steps helped also. Using htcSettingEntry.exe file in Windows folder you can reach HTC Settings and set whatever you need.
Thx guys .)

Look in your Manila Core or Sense Core package in the .reg or .rgu for this registry entry and make sure its on 0. Or change in your current ROM using a regeditor. Soft reset and your settings icon will be back in the start menu.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
HideSettings = dword:0
I've heard and read so many good comments about ANDROID, I decided it was time to make the switch and I went for the X10 yesterday. I was very excited !!
But after one day of use I am starting to feel frustrted... the more I play with the phone, the more I feel trapped and lost: I need help !!
FILE SYSTEM
- A file explorer was not present (a bad vibe went down through my spine...), so I downloaded a couple of "file explorers" from the market and tried to explore the phone's contents but I couldn't
How can I explore/browse the phone's folders and files ?? (not the SD card, but the phone itself), hidden / system files included ??
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs File Explorer solves this
- How do I save content into the phone's memory ?? (not the SD card)
EDIT Rooting + Estrongs FE solves this
APPS FOLDER
- How can I customize the apps folder ??
- How to rearrange the shortcuts ??
- How can I edit a shortcut ??
- How can I create a shortcut for an app listed as "installed" but lacking a shortcut to be launched (no shortcut for voice recorder or latitude) ??
EDIT Estrongs FE can create shortcuts to the "home" at least...
CONTACTS
- How can I sort my contacts ?? (Last/First name)
- Where is the option to assign each one's facebook pic to its contact ??
USABILITY
- How to enable haptic feedback ??
EDIT Only the keyboard can provide haptic feedback, still finding a way to enable it everywhere, throughout the whole system
- How do I choose which folder to save an attachment to ??
- How do I select text from an email to copy it to another application ?? (email app)
- How do I save copyed text into a text note ??
EDIT Third party note apps solve this
- Double tap won't zoom, pinching won't zoom, but this thing is capacitive !!
EDIT Yes I know I canzoom with th onscreen buttons, an OS refresh will solve this
- Nothing happens when I click the battery icon. How to create a shortcut to my current battery charge percent ??
EDIT Yeah this is one of those "I have to switch my mind from WM to android" ones, so consider it solved
- And where is the battery page at all ??
EDIT Found. I am such a stupid android noob LOL !!
- How do I multi-select items (emails, messages, contacts) to delete, copy or move them ??
- Where is "google talk" ?? (my friends with android phones keep asking me to open "google talk" but I can't find it on the phone nor market)
EDIT I was able to install gtalk after rooting, had to search for the APK myself
ANDROID is supposedly "open" and "user friendly"
Being new to Android, it' probably my fault/lack of experience only.
Am I missing something here ??
What's going on ??
I am as confused as Adam on mother's day
.
the same thing happened to me xD
and I know you and I come from an x1 XD
is not that hard, you have to check the options for the 3g if not say bye to the battery gauge also to your data plan if you have o.0
I suggest you open the User Manual that came with your phone.
Most of your questions will be answered in it. There's no double-tap to zoom in 1.6, but will arrive with the 2.1 update later this month. Having a capacitive screen has absolutely 0.000000% to do with it.
Also, a lot of your questions can be solved by a "Long Press"... aka, hold on the item you want to select for a second.

If it only were as easy as a "long press"... huh...
But your second point is valid: some of my issues with the phone could be related to the old OS... maybe an OS refresh will help
@alankstiyo:
Indeed I went X1 -> X2 -> Topaz -> HD2 -> back to X2
This is my first android experience and it is not fulfilling my expectances, maybe they were too high...

For the system files I think you have to root your phone first, and install Astro File Manager.
You can manage your file (system or SD card) there, including copy, paste, move, etc.

Root was EASY and FAST (aprox 5 seconds) with this little APK:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8259140&postcount=174
Those complicated step-by-step stickyed rooting threads should be replaced by this simple, fast and easy APK that does everything at once and automatically
NOW I HAVE FILE ACCESS, YESSSSS
Let's start solving all the other issues
Grab I am happy to see you again after moving from x1. Hope to see some development from you here

Use the 'battery indicator pro' apps, you can find it in Market. The apps
can show you how much percent that your battery's life left, the battery temperature (so you don't
overheat the phone).
Or you can type this at your dialer : *#*#4636#*#*. It'll show you the battery information along
other information about your phone

Yep, the timescape feature is cool. But I don't know why ppl doesn't like it a lot.
If you want to add icons to your default desktop, just press the 'menu' button from your phone (located lower left of the phone), then select 'add' (there's a 'plus' icon), then you can choose to add your application shortcuts, widgets, or folders.
To move the icon, just long press the icon you want (till the phone vibrate) and just slide to move it.

Thank you mate, I'm starting to squeeze the juice out of this shizz and I'm loving it
1- Rooting made a GREAT difference
2- After checking Astro, I STRONGLY suggest and recommend ESTRONGS FILE EXPLORER, I can even explore FTPs and other PCs over my LAN !! Seems to have incorporated unZip too, WOW... so much to discover...
3- A contact tipped me about downloading gtalk apk from another forum... testing...
My mind is still setled with WM, I just have to change the mental cartridge and let the hamster run again
msntalk is the best msn client at least for me works great so far XD
i even can chat over fb yay!!!
strongly recomment angry birds, which I'm uploading and sending to you xD
advanced task killer is a must
switch pro makes a huge difference for quick launch settings
sms unread count and sms pop up are a must, i can bear living with that small message on the taskbar when a sms arrives
