There is some registry tweaks around that can make scroll wheel (D-pad edge) scroll in some applications. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2721517.
I am wondering if someone can write a liitle application to generate some kind of clicking sound just like ipod or blackberry trackball. THis will be cool. Thanks in advance.
Hmm, that's a good idea actually...I'm not sure how much feedback the scrollwheel actually provides though (I heard it was a bit...vague...)

Hi, wonder if anybody has a way to get rid of the keyboard clicking sound on the Universal?
It would be so far better when use in quiet meetings. I was looking at the sound setting but didn't find anything there. Want to check to see if there is any registry heck or other ways to fix this.
Thanks!
go to settings->sounds
disable there the checkbox for the hardware buttons
This is strange as the hardware botton box was never ticked in the first place... I tried tick and untick and softreset it but it does not seem to work. The keyboard clicking sound still there...
Any further advice please?
The keys have a mechanical click sound built in - very difficult to get rid of.
On a similar subject - anyone know how to turn off the clicks that happen when you use the start menu?
sounds and notifications - uncheck 'Events (warnings, system events) I'm not sure what all else you lose, but it turns off what you wanted.
Thank you.
It would be so nice to have a seperate volume level for sms and system sounds.
It really is bad to have them put into one volume setting.
Developers... any ideas? Calling Vijay/Buzz... and other smart PPC devs?
the clicks are mechanical , you can't get rid of them,
a trade off between membrane and swith activated keyboards,
although more noisy, the switch activated responseivness is better

Thanks all for your responses. Looks like I'll need to explore other input methods during quiet meetings...
I STFW & the net & I still can't find any answers on this. I do a lot of multi tasking on my 8525 & I found that when I was in a call the scroll wheel only controls volume. I'm usually surfing the net on my phone while I am talking to people & using the d pad is very inconvenient. I was wondering if anyone knew of a fix to where I could get the normal functionallity of the scroll wheel (ie ACTUALLY SCROLLING THROUGH WHAT I AM LOOKING @). Any light shed on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
There is possibly a registry change that can be made, but you would probably not be able to use any longer for volume. Somebody might have a solution though, haven't seen one in the threads.
Got your HD yet? Loving the vibrating feedback from those virtual button along the bottom? Me to! The question is, how do we enable this feature for other touch screen inputs? It should at the very least be mapped to the two Windows Mobile soft keys right? There is clearly some API for this since Opera it also doing it when you click on a link.
Anyone got any ideas how we can get at it?
yeah i was expecting full screen haptic feedback when i saw the spec sheet few months ago. kinda disapointed to find now that it's only for the capacitive buttons along the bottom.
if samsung omnia can do it why can't the hd?
i'm sure someone in the community will sort something out!
Actually, I noticed that the page buttons on the Touchflow 3D bar also give feedback so that's pretty cool. They don't do it when you slide across the various pages, only when you click to select one so the diffence between the breif press and a press and hold event must be detected also.
I'm sure we will see so more work done with the haptic feedback. I seem to remember that it took just a few days for some ultra bright person (CharlyV was first I think) to revese engineered the API for the G-Sensor so I expect someone will feel like writing a little app to extend the feedback funtions pretty soon.
any news? I am also keen to get haptic feedback on everything.
i use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450256
really really love it!
start -> settings -> system -> touchresponse settings to customize to your needs......
kudo's for the maker!

Is great especially when typing. I've dialed the vibration down so it just tingles as you type.
I don't know if you guys saw how the Blackberry Storm when you click the keyboard it makes clicking sounds to enable the fact that you clicked each button. I was wondering if something like this is available for our diamond. Never really considered this as a option but after I saw it in use its actually pretty cool.
Thanks

Hehe thanks should have kown better been using win mobile for like 3 years. Oooh well thanks.
Except that enabling the screen tap sound is universal for anytime the screen is touched, which is horribly annoying when panning and scrolling. I would love to see an option where the SIPs (including the dialpad) are modified to click (and preferably vibrate) whenever a soft key is pressed, but not for anything else.

Exactly.
Universal clicking is so annoying and useless.
I second this request!
Hi Keyboard always had typing sounds, and I've gotten used to it.
That's the only thing missing from the great HTC keyboards...
Haptic feedback...
Someone here at XDA is already working on something like this. It's in its very early stages, but sounds like it may be what you're looking for.
Take a look here.
Hope this helps.

Looking for audible clicking, not vibration. The same result as "enable screen taps" but with the application control of this guy's vibrate program. That would be ideal.
Some 3rd party keyboards have an option to turn on clicking sounds.
TouchPal definitely does and it's also the best keyboard I've used.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm in love with the tiny, stylus-necessary "keyboard" layout on my Diamond.
Surely there is a simple reg hack for this?

TouchPal has 3 layouts including full qwerty and it works better than the HTC one, smarter T9, etc.
Otherwise, I'm sure it would be very easy to modify the vibrate software mentioned above so that it makes noise. Worth asking for help from the author.
Hey
As the topic title suggest i have been thinking alot about this ..
Since many people hate the way you change between words when using the phonepad on the diamond (either by tapping on the word, or by using the d-pad which can be tricky) i thought: hey what about using the nav wheel to scroll between words? when scroling in one direction it will go left and when scrolling another direction it will go right..
There is the one solution however which would be to change to the new Touc HD Keypad which has arrows.. This works really great, but the keys are too small if you ask me..
I am no programmer, but i wish i were, but is this possible and if it is, how hard would it be to make?
And is this idea good at all ?
~D
I am no programmer either, but oh my fuc*ing god that sounds like a great idea
Just bringing this to the top.. Just want to hear if this is a good idea.. ?
Not a bad idea. But the NAV button isn't as hard as you think once you figure it out. Don't try pushing the button itself, but push to the left or the right of the button.
See the following thread to understand what I mean.
I used to hate the NAV button until I came across the article above.
Nice idea, i have think about it self
The only potential problem I see is that anything written or developed would also have to disable the Zoom funtion of the NAV wheel when the dictionary is visible and reenable it when it's not.
Otherwise it would scroll and zoom at the same time.
