yes it does.. but it dont "overrule" the contacts, when you choose contacts fra the taps i TF3D, so its practically useless.. but you are right. it holds the filter and its really nice looking..
if only there is a cab or small program that makes is possible for WM6.1 to remember the filter in contacts...?

Caller photo size

Hi there, I have a "problem" with the photo that appears when someone is calling. To be more specific, the size is very small. Is there an app that makes it bigger, like iphone for example?
You can use S2U2 and enable S2A (slide to answer).
Then you get full-screen photo and you need to use a Iphone-like slider to answer. Bonus is you won't answer accidentally anymore.
Hope this helps.
Search to find the app (is in the general software section, I think)
You need to enable Caller ID to Full Screen to get S2U2 to work with the Caller ID It's working really well on the Diamond. Might have a slight increase in speed if you disable the Diamond Dialer. But that's personal of course..
Yes S2U2 is the solution to your problem. Very handy application.
For you guys that use S2U2 do you have the weather info on S2U2 screen?
It worked for me once but not anymore
it works! thank you for the help...
After a day of tests, I found that with S2U2 installed, when someone calls me I cannot hang up. By pressing the hard button (or even the soft button when enables) it only mutes. Any idea?
U can use Inesoft Address Book (not free) to get big Picture
and u get better contact with photo too..

Use Diamond Tweak to disable it. Just changehone Pad Style, from Diamond to Windows Mobile Standard.
One setting above this you can disable the Ring Time delay.

S2A 480x640 picture
it would be great if S2A can use pictures from its own folder, because the standard pictures are very poor quality, what i mean is if i can prepare jpg pictures in 480x640 resolution of people from phone book, name these pictures like contacts in phone book or numbers and S2A will use them instead standard ones. anyone know is it possible?
I've noticed too that s2u2 caller pics look kind of blurry. Is there any solution?

nice but what does it do
What does Video Share mode do? Seems like a 4:3 video capture mode.
What I would like to see is a way to capture bigger vids with better quality, even if it meant much bigger file sizes... because i can just pull them off and encode them on pc...
Ideas?
Also whats GPS photo...

Using a similar method are we able to change to landscape in pocket word. I don't know if I have missed something but landscape word is an absolute must for me as it reduces scrolling etc.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I'm having a small problem with the screen responses on my phone. I just went into the registry and made some changes to enable clear type in Landscape mode....and well...for some reason now....the 'ok' or 'x' tht appears on the top right hand side of the screen in landscape (right handed landscape mode) is unresponsive. It wont acknowledge any taps with the stylus or finger. I tried a soft reset and nothing. So now my phone is stuck in landscape mode...and it wont budge. Any ideas?

After that change, you off course need to reset to take effect. Once done, it would stay the way you want it.

I logged into the Windows live (MSN) program that comes with the phone as standard.
When logged out, i looked in my contacts phonebook and all my Windows live contacts were there! And when i took them away and logged into Windows live again, they were gone, probably for taking them away from the contacts phonebook in the phone..
Very irritating!
Now, is there some setting so i can make them not to show in the contacts phonebook?
I mean, as you can do with the SIM contacts?

How to exclude applications from Gyrator2 (example: "in a call")

Hi there,
i tried to exclude some applications in Gyrator 2 menus but i do'nt know how to exclude rotation, when i'm in a call ( to end the call for example, the auto rotation makes the "endcall" button changing place and it's hard to end my call or when i'm listening to messages and want to delete one , the keypad changes orientation ....)
for all others apllications like photos albums, or today screen or other ..it is fine, i set everything with success.
Another question, in the input settings, i laways have by default the Compact Qwerty for the portrait mode and this is like this since i have installed Gyrator, and when i change the settings in the input menu for the Full Qwerty, it did nothing, it is always the Compact one that appears, ( when in landscape mode, the full qwerty is ok) ....
Events in the menu
....mine (I must admit I found someone elses & used it) has an even for incoming call.
I'll dig out the file & post it
Disable (Opera),Opera_MainWndClass,1,0,0,

...thanks , i already added an event for incoming call but it doesn't work when you are IN CALL , just worked before you take the call ..... that's my issue ....
I'm using S2P on my HD but is is buggy in combination with gyrator2 how can i disable S2P like opera etc.
thx

And what about the dialer?? Can anyone tell me what is the line to disable the dialer from preventing to rotate ??
how do i tell gyrator not to rotate when a picture is viewed?
right now it is spinning around which is very annoying.
when i tap on a picture in the pics tab the picture opens and often rotates twice so it is top at bottom

Add an event call Disable (Album), click Album in application tab and tick portrait in orientation tab. On the event list make sure the even is set to orientation (has a 1 to the right of it) and apply. Works great for me.
i tried that but it doesnt work.
gyrator doesnt seem to recognize the album application. it turns the picture one time too often for 90 degrees
i tried to choose the album application in the list which is calles "htcalbum class" and also the manual recognition. neither of that did work.
If you can, copy and paste here your event.ini from the Gryrator2 folder so I can see the settings your using.

i've that the problem with htc album is that yu rotate the device, htc album rotates itself, then gyrator rotates it again, then rotates it back again to the correct position. does that make sense? effectively the screen goes like this:
0°, 90°,180°,90°
is there a way of having gyrator just completely ignore htc album?
I uninstalled gyrator and tried gsen instead. this program works fine with photo album. now i have a problem where i can't get it to load on startup. i get an error saying it can't find the g sensor.

uninstalling and reinstalling gyrator seemed to fix it i was going crazy because my settings were exactly the same as yours! now, back to uni work...
I was wondering how to only use the gyrator on 1 specific program that isn't listed? I wanted to use it with Garmin. It works when I had it rotating everything, but it just seems to lag the phone and cause me to miss calls and what not, so I deleted all the events and when I try to go add another for Garmin, I don't see it on the list? Why is that?
And is anyone experiencing a more phone lag with the gyrator running or is it just me? Should I do a format to clear up any cluster I might have from previous uninstalls and reinstalls of programs?
Yes....I would like to know how to set the phone dial pad to NOT rotate also.
Not too sure what all these 1's and 0's mean...as when you go through the settings it has specific descriptions rather than numbers to pick from....

Few gripes with the HD2, can they be fixed?

Hi,
Only had my HD2 for a couple of days having come from iphone and have a couple of gripes with it. Maybe it's just me though as never had a windows phone before.
When using opera internet browser you have to zoom in quite a bit to press links, which I find a little annoying. I've tried skyfire which is much better, but you can't use pinch/zoom. Is there a browser that has the best of both worlds?
Is there a quick way to turn bluetooth on/off without having to go into settings?
Is there a quick link to profiles? I know if you hold the end call button you can select between vibrate or ringer, but not silent. I must admit, this is one thing I liked about the iphone, there was a simple switch to change from silent/ringer without having to turn the phone on and press buttons.
When making/receiving calls sometimes the screen comes back on and my ear presses other functions, or disconnects the call. Has there not been a fix for this issue yet?
The call quality isn't great, sometimes the caller distorts on certain words/letters
And finally, is there any way to change the vibrate? Can it be set to 'pulse' rather than just a continous vibration. Can it be set just to give one or 2 pulses when receiving a sms/mms message, rather than vibrating for the full length of the message alert? (I've personalised mine and goes on for about 10 seconds)
I think the phone is great, and these niggles aren't the most major of things (accept the screen turning back on during calls) but it would make the phone more of a pleasure to use.
Cheers
There are fixes or programs for most of your niggles, but they may not integrate with the HTC Sense interface! That's one downside of such a deeply coded front end, and one reason why I personally have stopped using it!
There is a file available which can allow links in Opera to be clicked when zoomed out- sorry, but I don't have time to link to it at present!
For profile and radio (BT/WiFi/Phone) switching, I'd recommend SBSH Phoneweaver . OK, it costs $15 but you can set any number of profiles with switching based on time, location, busy status etc, or manually. The pop-up menu also has a set of switches for the various radios. It can be launched via one of the 3 Program buttons on the front page of Sense, or via a small icon in the Taskbar. I'm, not sure if it can have the vibrate times defined or not!

Thanks for your response. What are you referring to when you say radios? Please forgive my ignorance, I'm still learning
You say that you have stopped using the HTC sense interface so what do you use instead?
Just having a look at the phoneweaver, can this be used with the sense interface? Does it overide the phone settings?
Radios = WiFi, Bluetooth and Phone Radio. These are the things you see in the Comm Manager with the little green On/Off sliders
I'm now using a 'Light' custom ROm without the HTC Sense stuff. I prefer to use a plain 'Home Screen' (which you can achieve by going into Settings/Home (or Today) and selecting the Items tab. From there you can turn on or off any of the Today items or Sense itself.
A lot of the programs I use have their own Today screen plug-ins which suits me fine- Resco Contact Manager, Elecont Weather and Chronos clock/alarms, plus I use a Launcher program called Launchpad by Panoramic Software that is opened by tapping the top left of the screen; this has 40 definable 'Favourites' links plus a full set of Programs/Settings links.
Back to work now!

It can take over all the phone settings and can be manual or scheduled, plus some other useful switching options. You can try it free for 15 days!

Thanks for that thread, the trouble is I'm not a real computer/phone buff (yet) and so a lot of it goes right over my head. I don't even know what registry's are, and wy you need to edit them???
Ok, the concept of registry is quite simple. I'll put in a way so anyone can understand. Its a repository of stored key/value pairs.
Imagine a folder like structure, when you open a folder you will find a series of keys which, when opened, reveal the value.
Every key/folder is used by the OS or by some application. Its where all the back door settings are stored. So if you wanna make an app or the OS behave in a way you need to change the settings.
Using the registry is easy, but you have to make the first step... so what are you waiting?

Can I bugger up the phone if I don't know what I'm doing?
You can always make a backup of the registry you are changing. In resco registry editor tap and hold and press export. If the changes you made are not good, go to the folder where you exported the backup and open it. It will automatically imported and problem solved. But if you follow the instructions you won't have any problems, just don't change the registry for something you don't know or never seen in any tip/suggestion.
You could affect stuff if you dont do it right... but if you follow the instructions carefully without any typing errors, you will be fine...
Use this to Turn off BT easily.... it also does a lot of other stuff... basically, your bottom left softkey will become an "action" button... prssing that will bring up the screen shown in the screenshots. Works really well for me... also give you soft reset options without opening the back cover or powering off

how to change programs

hiya
on the home screen with the clock etc i have 'call hisory' and 'calender'
i use agendus for my calender is there any way i can make agendus the default program so when i click calender on the screen it goes to agendus not the usual one
and the same for the scrolling icons at the bottom
is there any way to change the programs?
as i'd like dif programs etc on there or to add some more
if i click the person icon it just comes up with 1 contact for some reason and not my phone book although there again i use agendus for that also
thanks steve
I don't think it's possible, for none of the above.
thats annoying
i'm sure in the older version of windows pda i used to be able to set a program as default
o well back to the drawing board and i'll have to try and figure out how to use it the long way round but just quicker lol
