After upgrading from the oficially 6.0 to the oficially 6.1 I noticed that when I'm in contacts and select any letter to search for a contact, the first contact of that letter displays at the bottom of the screen, while in 6.0 it displayed at the top of the screen.
I like the old way, putting the first contact at the top.
Is there any settings or tweak to have this again?
129 views and no answer? Am I the only one experimenting this problem or no one cares about it?
Any clue?
It seems so
I am not facing any problem

Well, as per your sign, you are using a very old ROM. Mine says:
ROM Version 3.13.405.0 WWE
ROM Date 08/21/2008
Radio Version 1.59.42.15
Protocol Version 25.85.30.08H
Anyway, thanks for your answer
I noticed the same behaviour, but also no clue how to solve this.
Ah ditto, i'd like to know how to get the old letter bar up at the top of the contacts page and not the a-z on the side?

So True... I've only just realised this...
Starting from the top and searching to F. The first F contact is at the base. Searching back up to C, and the first C contact is at the top.
Well, at least I don't feel alone any more. Perhaps some of our gurus came with a solution ...
Guys,
I think this is a 6.1 bug, as i have had this issue on my imate Jamin, flashed to 6.1 cooked rom.
Just my thoughts.

No you are not alone, same thing here,
when I choose a letter in Contacts, the the first name with that letter is displayed at the bottom of screen, hence one have to scroll from there to display the rest of names.
Apparently this is a WM6.1 bug. In WM5 & WM6 the letter chosen used to display at the top of screen each time.
Another Microsoft screw up.
I wonder when will they ever take their work seriously!!!!
Can someone come up with a registry fix for that?

Hello all. My first post on these great forums!
I have an odd issue with a branded HTC TyTn.
There is an icon in the Phone screen underneath the 'X' close button. It is like an eye with half an arrow pointing right.
I have attach a screenshot so you can take a look.
Any ideas what it could be at all?
Many thanks.
Could you please post:
When you bought it, the ROM version, OS version and date etc....
oh yeah, i had that as well. i have since upgraded to wm6. I wonder what it is.

Here is some more info....
WM5
ROM : 1.18.225.3 (07/22/06)
Radio : 1.03.03.10

Looks like a video camera (webcam) out icon to me. Does it indicate video calling enabled??
Mike
see in the \windows directory if there is a file called "carrierlogo.gif", it's normally used 4 the logo of the carrier. If there isn't a pic, so you can start to thing something else.... Make an Hreset, on the first boot, reset the ppc, unhide the extended rom (no UNLOCK, so only reg keys needed) and launch 1 by 1 the cabs rebooting on every installation.
When you've identified the cab, then is possible to know something
Is the PocketCM-like Contact Manager from HTC available anywhere in CAB form for install on the Mogul? I've searched the forum and didn't come up with that actual program.
It's at 0:45 in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DCNZbXFuUo
you've tried the updated version of random access???
I already have a few versions of it from the threads I did find:
Random access.cab - 65.53 kb
Random access corrected.cab - 65.42 kb
HTC Random access fixed.cab - 64.76 kb
I haven't tried this updated one. Thanks.
I installed the first and tried to uninstall, but it wouldn't remove. Installing the second over it caused my contacts to not work at all anymore (pressing the softkey brings up the app for a split second before it closes.)
I'll have to hard reset, but I don't want to do that 4 times over. Does anyone know the difference between them?

A Google search tells me that that's just an old version of PocketCM.
It seems that the behavior in the video is a combination of Random Access and TouchFlo. FTouchFlo doesn't quite match up since it scrolls in increments instead of smoothly.

Not really, its moreso the contact manager from Pocket CM, like in the video but it doesnt have the SMS and everything, trust me, its exactly the same thing thats in the video, I have it on my phone right now and its the same exact program in that video
Thanks for the link. I just got my phone last week and this is a pretty sweet contact manager. Only issue is that it doesnt show up with an icon on my xv6800.....any way to fix that?
Also - what about all the other flashy stuff in that video? Where do I go about customizing my phone to do all that? Does it take any special ROM first, or are they all plugins that I can install?

Alphabet Contact Bar
Hi,
I am an owner of a HTC Touch (enhanced version) but for some reason, my contact manager doesn't have the alphabet bar on the right side of the screen. Is there a fix/patch that I can download to obtain this?
thanks guys!

Hi. Pull up your contact list, then tap the menu then option menu. There you can ckeck or uncheck boxes. If you check the show by alphabetical index, the scrooll bar will be there when you reenter the contact list. Uncheck that option and when you enter the contact list again you will have an alphabetical letters on the the side bar instead. Hope this will help. Play aroundwith it, to see which one works for you. Also you can use the filters to change how you want your contacts to appear.

Think random access does the job of putting the alphabet bar next to the contacts!!
Might I suggest finger friendly contacts?
It rules.
Hi everyone,
I am using a Dutty ROM which is in my signature, i was playing around changing the start menu icon which i got to work but now when my phone is loading i have a different symbol, now i have the Vista blue circle where as previously i had a grey circle where the dots around it would fill,
I don't even know how it changed and i wasn't even aware the Vista one was on my Tytn II, does anyone know how i can change it back,
Thanks for any help

You mean a wait cursor?
I know there are a plethora to choose from.
Try this program. I think it will better suit your needs.

Ohh all the way, i knew i could count on you, yes it is the wait cursor, somehow my original one changed and i don't know how to restore it, thanks for the program, i will give it a try but i don't really want to install another program unless i have to
Surely there is a way within windows 6.1 to change it,
I will check it out,
Thanks again
Ok, i tried that program and i don't really like it, i can't find my old cursor within it
Does anyone know where the cursors are stored, this is driving me nuts, surely there is a registry setting i can use to change it
This drives my crazy: After rotating the screen with gyrator, gsen or manual-button, the HD switches back to manila or any other last used system window.
(There are some posts inside some big threads wich nobody replied, so I start a new one for this bug only...)
This is VERY annoying if you just want to turn the screen for reading or writing a mail...
i dont know if this is the right method to do it.. but
try adding all types of exceptions to the list in gsen window/class etc of your messaging window!
i came across the same problem and this seem to fix it!
try it and let me know if it worked!
what have you added? manila is already added...
sometimes the bug disappears...I added the exeptions, but have to wait some times to see if the effect lasts...But thanks!

im not talking about manilla.. open the window you wish you dont want to rotate.. then hit the home button on your phone. then go to gsen configuration and add all the windows/classes/process of that application!
that should stop the minimizing of that window when rotated.. hopefully!
if someone has a better solution let us know!
? in dont understand. I do want to rotate for example the mail window, so i added all the others to "dont rotate". correct?

Did you test MobileMagic?
yes, same effect + too buggy
It's top bar's icons related problem.
If you uninstall them you should not have that issue.
As described in another thread. This may be caused by colorful icons/battery icon in top bar.
ahhh ok I'll try. Thanks.
Do you know an other way to display some battery percentage?

If you look around, there is atleast two color top bars that do not have this problem. The problem originated from one of the first color top bars (which everyone liked and used), but now just look around and try them till u find one that u like and doesn't have the bug. (i'd give u mine but i can't find the cab for either one) good luck
Please let us know if you find one, and where to get it.
Thanks.
i now use aebuttons plus to show me battery-percentage at a btn-click.
i dont know if there was any threads about this yet but, i read some people complaining about when they txt and the last thread is highlighted causing it to lag for a sec..
well to stop this just goto settings and goto input and on the 2nd tab unclick the part that says scroll to the bottom after reading last sentence or something and now it should stop highlighting the thread box in sms's
Very well done sir!
tested and confirmed!
That's weird. My seems to be still highlighting despite unchecking that option.
My HTC messaging's build is 2012.1931.
Wonder if this matters..
me too lol
i closed htc messaging using task manager and when a new message came through it did the same again, lost cause until HTC sorts it I'd imagine.....
I really must have my blonde head on today, I can't find the setting you're suggesting at all. Would someone be so kind as to point me in the right direction please?
Sorry for such a newbie question.
if you haven't got the default windows settings option to show on your start menu, from the today screen just swipe all the way over to the settings tab, hit menu, all settings, then personal followed by input, option mentioned is located on the second tab, doesn't seem to work from testing anyhow...
