Phone App without Keypad - XPERIA X1 General

Hi there,
1. is there a way to start the default X1 Phone Application without the keypad, so that i can see just and only the list of contacts (which is limited to 2 lines by default) and reenable the phonpad when needed by softkey 1 ?
2. I'm searching for hours now. Where can i find the answer on how to enable Wi-Fi during standby ???
Thanks...

Blackstone dialer will do the trick.... its also faster than the stock dialer

Bugs in WM6 Roms- share your experience-come in everybody

cheers there,,
it was only until yesterday that i had the courage to flash my BA to windows mobile 6...
To be honest ... you guys did a great job..
however, bugs have made their way into this one as well, so i will i will be asking you guys to post all your bugs in the following format:
ROM version:
bugs in :
PHONE:
WIFI:
PROGRAMS:
etc...
rom version: 5.2.1629
radio rom : 1.12
proplems:
phone:none
wifi: i can't use the wireless manager to turn on the wifi
prgrams:
1) x-button is not working , all programs are minimizing instead of closing, despite of the x-button being correctly configured
2) i cant get to type arabic letter with the keyboard, though allthe other arabic functions are working,
performance: the device is a bit sluggish
THINGS THAT ARE ANNOTING BUT DONOT REPRESENT A BUG:
1) button lock is not there,,, it is really annoying to find out that your BA is making a random phone call while in your pocket !!
2) I really liked the broadcom bluetooth stack , can i get it working here?
3) sim contacts appear in the phone book and there is no option to disable this , it would be really nice if i could get rid of the duplicates
and again:
thank you guys big time, especially HELMI for the super work,,
waiting for everybody to share their bugs
you can use comm manager, you just have to turn it on tru wlan settings esp after every SR, but after that you can activate it using comm manager. just like wm5...
one thing i noticed is the lack of keyboard sttttuttttteeeerrrriinnnnggg... which is great news since i always use the keyboard via one-handed operation.
x button is working on my unit, which is easily noticed since i have wisbar.
one bug i noticed though is that whenever ur connected to the pc and its syncing with the BA, it will totally freeze the BA for the duration that the pc and BA are syncing, sometimes causing the BA to hang.

It would be nice to switch on Wireless withou having to click on several items though - especially when using spb backup and auto restart after backup and profiles in phonealarm.
- WLAN activation problem
- keyboard problem (repeating characters after releasing keyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy...)
- phone doesn't work sometimes ("R" and "G" are "NONE") after softreset --> another softreset *immediately* after "R NONE" and "G NONE" appear.
- no ActiveSync --> activate "USB to PC" in Settings, Connections.

With Broadcomm bt 1.7 by Helmi , what are the pros and cons, and does it sort out the wifi activation problem. I have read that there are some new problems with BT using this stack, can you confirm this?
well, sometimes the device stops working, doesn't respond to the power key, or softreset (display al black)it is needed to remove the battery.

well, its just a few clicks ( 3 actually) more, a very minor extra minute not a big thing trivial speck compared to having a wm6-enabled BA
no problem
I see no problem in WM6 by Helmi. This is great! Thanks a lot. This is perfect.
- phone doesn't work sometimes ("R" and "G" are "NONE") after softreset --> another softreset *immediately* after "R NONE" and "G NONE" appear.
the ROM is actually super great, it is just that we want to make it greater
also, it would be actually very nice if there was some sort of a power-saving fix-
i use a 2400MAH battery but it is hardly doing 2 days in wm6, while it used to survive for 5 days on wm2003

Hide SIM contacts
Registry: HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone
Key: ShowSim (dWord)
Value: 0 = hide
1 = show
This will hide sim contacts from showing in contacts list.

Found the problem, hold on the power button for a couple of seconds while turning it off.
i found a bug, when you arei n the sms and you press options and selected "mark all as read" option.. youll get the new connection thingie instead..... anyone has a fix?
Add contacts
Love the wm6 rom! Works great but ive noticed that i can not add a contact. I can add a contact to my sim but not to my BA. And my BA wont allow me to take the contact from my sim or my call history and add it to my device. Weird. But just thought id add that to the list. I LOVE WM6!

Tips & Tricks

Thought this might be a good place to start listing any quick tips and tricks you might have discovered.
To Lock Device quickly
Keep finger on the Red (Call End) button and it will bring up some options including keylock.
Not sure if anyone's noticed this but when I end a call on my Dual there is annoying little delay of about 3 seconds before the actual call is ended so I searched the registry and found this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]
And I changed the value of EndCallTime from 3000 to 1000 re-booted and voila no more delays when ending calls
Hold the on/off button for soft reset.
Smart Dialing
This is an advertised feature but apparently not too many people are aware of it. Go to the phone app and start tapping the first couple of letters of the contacts name and the name matches will appear for you to choose from. I find this much easier than opening up the Contacts app and scrolling down to the name you need.
after pressing send for phoneapp u see last calls.
If u press left/right on the highlighted contact the phone switches through home/mobile/office...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\ regulates the FPS of the cubeanimation.
Change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" und "UpFPS" to something higher for a smoother (and faster) animation.
Disable 3G, if not needed (it drains the battery faster than GSM):
Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode and set it to "1"
Then also you could change that setting
Phone Settings --> Band --> Network Type --> GSM
To activate the changes, open the comm manager from the Cube, disable the phone and enable it again.
In italy with Vodafone I can't able to select also the Network Band GSM/UMTS to "GSM(900)" but I have to let it configured as "Auto" or "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"
Bits
Ello, new here.. no idea if this helps a few Dual owners but..
Apps found to work on the touch dual:
S2u2 (iphone slide to unlock app), works like a charm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
HHC, HTC Home Customizer (name says it all), also working like a charm:
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
gfreek, thnx for the EndCallTime key, works perfect and.. 1 less annoying feature to go
Things I'm still looking to solve:
1. Mp3 ringtone seems to fade out after picking up a call, for about 2/3 seconds the ringtone is still audible :S
2. Looking for settings for the Handsfree profile, i have an Lm959 bluetooth bracelet (how geeky, i know), works fine.. but only for calls, the device is capable of blinking the leds on receiving msgs, im looking for the settings to enable just that on the TD.
3. Polling frequency of the TD seems to be on the high side, f.e. it takes about 3 rings from someone before the TD starts "ringing", since voicemail kicks in @ ring 6 I miss a lot of calls.
I found a topic about just this problem with the touch(Elf) on sprint networks, with a quickcode (##7380# I think, well.. I'm not on sprint..so that doesnt work over here.. anyone with any clue would be welcome.. My current solution is disabling voicemail..)

to do this quicker go to settings => long press end key
and select automatically execute and then lock device
holding the red button then locks the device in one press
You can invoke s2u2 instead normal devicelock
just install s2u2, rename Slide2Unlock.exe to EndKey.exe and copy all files to windows directory, with resco explorer.
the ilock doesnt seem to be working on my touch dual. when i try to go to settings, the screen goes blank.
You need to disable directdraw, do it via the registry as you can't access the settings.

Is there a way to add the "3G setting" directly in the Comm Manager as seen here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354380 ?

Go with Total Commander to:
\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager and change the key
"SupportedFunctions" from 4 to 5
then make a new map named "5" (without the quotes)
go to that map and make a STRING named "default" and the string must
be "3G" (also without any quotes).
Then turn the phone off and on again and there is a 3G setting in your CommManager. I did not manage yet to add a icon in front of it
(and also not tested the working of the new setting)
Thanks, someone also pointed me to Schaps' app that has that setting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

that is driving me MAD at the moment. I'm missing almost all my calls.
Wish there was a way to change the amount of rings before voicemail kicks in.

ah found it, at least for UK Orange people:
Please bear in mind that the following code is only valid for phones on the Orange UK network.
The code to set the length of time your phone rings is:
**61*07973100123*11*??#
Where ?? is the time in seconds, e.g. to set the ring time to 30 seconds you would type the following code at the standby screen then press the green send button:
**61*07973100123*11*30#
To make your phone ring for only 10 seconds:
**61*07973100123*11*10#
The code works in 5 second intervals, i.e. you can set 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30 seconds.

How can I...

Hi everybody,
I have some questions about modifying polaris:
1. How can I disable the battery-symbol in the title?
2. How can I make my Polaris be turned of after getting a new sms?
3. How can I enlarge the Symbols in the program-menue?
Thank you very much!
1. Schap's Advanced Config Tool ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070 ) has an option to replace the battery icon with a clock/date.
2. I use S2U2 ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=381588 ) with the options "Lock when device wakes up" and "Power Off in [10s]" set, so that the phone switches on to receive the text, and switches off 10 seconds later if I don't unlock it. This also saves the odd time when the phone gets switched on accidentally in my pocket - it switches off again in 10s unless I slide to unlock, saving power.

The stock ROM comes with an application that enables large icons in the start menu. (It also makes the icons in the bar at the top larger so that it's finger friendly. It's also been found that turning this off improves navigation speed in the device).

HTC Dialer in Landscape Mode

Hi,
I want to use my HD in the car in landscape mode. I have deactivated TF3D and I'm using Gyrator2 for turning the display - everything fine so far...
The problem is, that the HTC Dialer doesn't work properly in Landscape mode. My only solution so far is to switch off the HTC dialer and use the standard WM6 dialer with a registry tweak:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin DWORD Enabled --> 0
But that also switches off the bluetooth status icon in the status bar on top, and it is not really satisfying.
anybody here who has a better solution for the problem, or has a working htc dialer in landscape?
regards jan
other way 'round:
does anybody know how to solely (re-) ACTIVATE the bluetooth status icon in the top status bar after it is dactivated by the reg-entry above (not how to change back the reg-entry, just to get back the bt-status-icon with the htc dialer still deactivated)...
...or does anybody at least have a solution / program to see the actual bt-status on the home screen?
regards jan

Programs such as phonealarm (pocketmax.net) can give you the option to see the status of your bluetooth, wifi etc. The main benifit is that you only have to press the icon to enable/disable bluetooth etc. The program is skinable and offers many other features.
I've just applied the reg edit that you have made, but for another reason. The HD also suffers from the 2 - 3 second delay before it rings. Changing back to the windows dialer appears to solve this issue (also giving faster boot time and more available memory).
another problem with this regedit trick is that it desactivate the volume ajustement when speaking... So it's realy anowing... Anyway to solve this problem???

I use landscape view on my diamond too, I just wonder does the HTC DIALER for TOUCH PRO or PRO2 's dialer works properly in landscape mode?
If yes, how come no one port it to HD or Diamond?
Some diamond's cooked ROM 's a landscape dialer , but it just does not pop up while there's a incoming call .......

HD - beginer's problems

Hello!
I've got a few questions to advance user of HTC.
1. How can I check online currencies EUR/PLN (like STOCK ONLINE). I know, that this application using yahoo services, but EUR/PLN doesn't work.... only USD/PLN. Directly by www it is working...
2. Maybe it's stupid, but...how can I sort bookmarks in browser?. I can edit, or delete
3. It's possible to connect my HTC (without SIM CARD) with another phone with SIMCARD (by bluetooth) and make connection? I didn't find it...
4. It's possible to connect my HTC with Dell Vostro 1710 by WIFI and use HTC like GPRS Modem? Only by USB port?
5. How can I change screen on landscape durning typing sms? I have tried to set button (rotate screen), but there isn't this option. Even Advance Config. installed, and TweakHD... :-((
Greetings from Poland
Thx for helping.
5 -- in HDtweak go to option 17.8 and enable screen orientation ,, then go to settings>buttons and set button1(hold) to rotate screen ,, now when you hold call pickup button your HD should go into landscape, hold it again to get back to portrait!!
4-- dont know if itss possible by wifi but its possible with bluetooth!!
3--yes- enable bluetooth, enable beam, search for devices and pair with device!!

go to settings>connections>beam and set to enable (or something like that ) if you have a stock rom --- if you have a custom rom like Dutty's v3.9 or kwbr's Topix 2.5 then go to Open Commanager and set beam to enable
to pair devicews you can search in bluetooth options a new device (search from blackstone) and I think it will work that way!!!
beam is for enabling file transfer or something like that (I dont remember!! )
anyways just go through all your bluetooth settings and you'll get your answer!!!

2. Bookmarks in Opera browser are automatically saved alphabetically. I see you already know how to delete/edit
3. Enable bluetooth, enable beam, search for devices and pair with device!!
4. Never tried with wifi, sorry. Bluetooth works though
5. I notice Kristaps-K9-Lv already answered this - In HD Tweak go to option 17.8 and enable screen orientation. Now go to Settings > Buttons and set button1(hold) to rotate screen. Now when you hold call pickup button your HD should go into landscape, hold it again to get back to portrait!!
