Help: Entering multiple tasks on taskbar? - Touch CDMA General

Can anyone confirm/help with this behavior? When in the Tasks app on WM and typing a new task into entry bar at the top, the first time it works fine. I can hit Enter and the task gets added to the list. However, after that point if tap the entry bar again to enter a second task, the cursor appears correctly but typing letters on the keyboard has no effect whatsoever. Nothing appears in the entry field. Until I type either Space or Backspace, at which point I can again type regular letters and they will show up.
Does anyone else encounter this issue, and is there any known fix? Also, what is the normal behavior after hitting Enter to confirm a new task. Is the cursor supposed to stay active in the cleared entry bar, ready for a new entry, the way it does on regular Outlook for full-sized Windows Desktop? For me it disappears and the text "Tap here to enter a new task" fills the entry bar until I click it again. I have to do this every time, which can be annoying if I wanted to enter ten new tasks in a row.
Any help is appreciated, thanks...

No replies at all? Could someone else with a Vogue please just test this and let me know the results? Just go to Tasks list, click in the new task entry bar at the top, type in a new task, hit Enter on the keyboard, then tell me:
1) Where does the cursor go immediately after that? Does it stay in the new task entry bar, ready for more text? And..
2) If you try to enter a second task at this point from the new task entry bar, do the letters you type show up? Or do you have to hit backspace or spacebar before they do?
Please and thank you...

After entering the first task & hitting enter. The task I just created is highlighted. There is no cursor & my keyboard disappears. When I tap to bring up the keyboard again & start typing. What I am typing does show up in the entry bar. Note: I am using a custom ROM though.

Interesting... which ROM would that be? Do you have any other OS changers installed like SPB Mobile Shell etc?

Currently using NFSFAN's 1.15.
Not using SPB mobile shell or diary.

I have the stock WM6.1 rom on my XV6900 and I have the same "problem".
I usually enter tasks one at a time, but I did notice that when entering one after another, it just doesn't type in.
I don't know how to solve it, but it's not that big of a deal for me.

HButton for smartphone

Hi,
I created HButton for smartphones. BUT I have no smartphone so I developed it on smartphone emulator.
I will be very gladly, if there is someone who can test it.
Please note: Test it on your own risk - never been run on real smartphone.
thanks
Hundera
Great! While I have no time to test it right now, I'll frontpage the news if it turns out to be working!
when i get to the assign window, i get stuck there, don't know what's the next step

Hi,
I created it little messy. It has to be changed before official release.
* Using * assign it to any HW button. I don't know if there will be name and icon of selected button or just something like "unknown 40C1".
* Create list of applciations
* Left and right button select preferred application​* enter to add it to list​* Press OK.
thats all. Now you should be able to start application using HButton....
What now?
I managed to do almost everything:
I assigned applications to the list of button1,
I clicked on '*', and so
Assigned to (*) displays "Unknown 40C1"
When I run the application Button1 manually, the application I chose for Button1 is run.
But what now? What do I have to press to make the application run? What is button1? I tried all buttons, pressing for various lengths of time, but I can't get it to run.
Do I need to edit the registry so that the application "Button1" is assigned to some button?
Hi,
at first thanks for help.
"Unknown 40C1" means - there are registry part about this button. In SPh, there's missing names of buttons - so name is unknown.
I has no SPh, only emulator. I checked registry and there is all ok - only names are missing. All flags and path to applications that should be started are similar to pocketpc.
These registry settings are altered by my program so HButton1 should be started by button with code "40C1". What button it is - I really don't know. That's what I need to test.
But as you describe it, it looks like that these settings are ignored.... So Where is settings of button's behavior on smartphone?!?!

not totally sure
I'm no expert in this.
If I understand correctly, one way to do it is through links in the \windows directory,
so
\windows\short_MSG
is a link to the program called when the message button is pressed
\windows\short_Camera, and short_IE
are for camera and explorer button.
But I think there are also other places to set these. And some phones allow long_MSG,IE,Camera links for long button press - not mine.
I tried to copy the Button1 link to short_MSG, and that managed to run the first command in the list for button1, but not the next on a longer press. (And it still launched the message program first, so there must be a second place that determines what is launched...)
Maybe people in the smartphone forum will have more info...
All this was on an s620 WM6.1
just a few more comments
Now that I can get HButton to partially run, I have a few comments:
I'm not exactly sure why, but going from HBSetup to configure buttons 1 and 2 takes a really long time. HButtonTask is much shorter. Maybe it is because a list of all programs is generated, and this takes time? In any case, maybe one could display a message "please wait..." - the first time I thought the program had crashed.
Pressing left (instead of right) when the bottom selector in HButton1 setup shows <None> crashes the program (ArgumentOutOfRangeException)
In HButtonTask setup there are two arrows below Custom delay (I think to chose the delay), but no number is displayed, and pressing left-right only toggles the boxes.
<Start Menu> doesn't work. <Clock>, <Toggle BT>, <Quit>, <Today> do work. <Back> behaves a bit differently than the Back key - it switches between tasks, instead of screens - but that's ok and can be useful!
In the HButton1/2 setup screens, I would change the left softkey to "save" instead of "ok". Too often I pressed that button instead of the center/enter button to change the action on the list. Because it takes ~10 seconds to enter the screen again, it is quite annoying....
Hi
I am really interested in this project if is still under developement

[APP][Updt 08/09/2009] DredSensor v1.3a - Allow you to personalize Hard Key Actions

=======================================================================================
DredSensor v1.3a:
=======================================================================================
Now DredSensor should be compatible with other device than HTC Touch Diamond.
Historically, if you have tried to play a game needing left and right key on an HTC Touch Diamond, you noticed that they are 2mm wide and if you click next to it, you get back to home page or to dialing menu etc...
So I've written a prog allowing you to lock these 4 keys actions and replace it by classical key event (VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, ...).
In that way you can play tetris, and use "Pick-Up" and "Hang-Up" keys for going left and right.
I extended it to let you configure each app independantly, and choose between four (five) mode:
"HardKeySimul": replace the 4 keyz by classical key event
"Launcher": allow you to quicklaunch 4 app (that you define in the config wnd) when you double tap (not click, just tap) on one of those 4 keyz
"Scroll": allow you to scroll the current window by tapping those 4 keyz panel
"KeySimul": allow you to send left/right/up/down events by tapping those 4 keyz panel
"--- Disabled ---": Disable specific HTC Touch Diamond Sensor functionalities.
Now, i've added an alternative Key Mapping, that let you map an action (or another key) on normal click and long click event on any other key that the up-described four.
So if you don't have an HTC Touch Diamond, the only mode you can choose is "--- Disabled ---" but you can define "other key mapping".
Link ->: DredSensor-v1.3a
To use it, you need:
1) A Windows Mobile SmartPhone
2) Install the .cab
3) Reboot your SmartPhone
4) Run a game (or app or ...)
5) Get your stylus out and back-in, in less than 1 second
6) Click "Yes"
----- A config window opens:
7) Choose the Type you want.
8) Reassign the actions to the events, if needed.
9) Assign "other key mapping", if needed.
10) Click "Ok"
Other Key Mapping:
To add a key mapping, a popup opens and ask you to press a key.
If you want to assign an action to normal clic, just clic on the choosen key.
If you want to assign an action to long clic, clic more thant 1 sec on the choosen key.
Then you have to choose the action, and it's done.
If you only assign an action to a long clic on a key, a short clic on this key should work transparently.
Have fun.

Wonderfull!!
the app is working good for me now! I just love the scrolling with only a touch on the d-pad
Thank you!!
I suggest you stop making a new thread for every new version and instead update your original thread and post that you've updated it.
After installing and lunch program .... i cannot see any of EVENTS on Events tab. Windows "wait gif" is rolling all the time and nothing happen :/ (i talk about mapping under HardKeySimul

Thanks for the new version! And thanks for adding the OK button command!
Seems to be working better than the last version although pressing the back key (which I have mapped to click right) a few times in quick succession does seem to send a back command. Pressing the home key in quick succession doesn't have this problem.
Also, I can't get the scroll wheel to work despite leaving the "Block scrolling wheel" box unchecked. Am I doing something wrong?

Hmm.. For the scrolling wheel, i use a tricky solution that works on my HTC touch diamond. May be it doesn't work on your model or on your rom version...
If someone have an idea on how to send a "ZoomIn" or "ZoomOut" event to a window (or how to develop an application that catch ZoomIn and ZoomOut events), that would help a lot...
As far as i studied the problem, it seems that ZoomIn and ZoomOut events are equal to Up and Down keys, but comming from a "rocker" .. so I can send those Up/Down key events, but no idea of how to tell that this comes from a "rocker" (and i don't even have an idea of what a "rocker" is...)
Help?
Wow, this is great! I am still loving the ability to remap my home key (and the others), and I really like the new scroll wheel feature. Actually, for me, instead of zooming in some apps, it now seems to scroll just about everywhere -- which is perfect, I like that more anyway.
Is there any way to donate or buy you a cup of coffee? I'd like to as a thank-you.
What an absolutely brilliant program!
Thank you very much Dredger97!

TF3D and DredSensor don't play nice together
This program is awesome! You can do so much with it! However, I am having one small issue with it. It appears that if I use it on Manilla [TF3D], that it works initially, but over time it seems to stop working and ends up freezing Manilla. The start icon still works, all the unmapped hardware keys still work and the task bar is still live. Only Manilla is frozen. If I don't map any keys on Manilla, it works fine for hours. But it only takes about 1 or 2 hours before there is a freeze on Manilla.
Any thoughts on how to correct this? I would love to use this program from my Home screen on Manilla.

Well, disabled means "DredSensor is disabled" so it's normal that your hw key do what it's supposed to.
If you want to disable the hard key, you can:
- set Type: Launcher
- set "Click" action = "Misc:Nothing" on one of the keys.
So it will catch the hard key action, and do nothing when you click on it.
For me it doesn`t work :/ windows "Wait" gif is always apperaing when i want to add new Event. :/ And there is no Events on the list ...
tried that but same when i press home it goes to home
i have tried that on wmp.
is this program always turned on,now when i remove and than get back in stylus no menu pops up?!?
Great Job!
the app finally works on my pda! so glad you solved this bug!
But I still have a little problem...the app runs fine, when I start the buttons work with the function that I chose, but after the first time I use it it crashes and stops to work. Am I the only one with this problem?
Thanks,
Michele
Dredger, I asked in the last thread, but didn't get a response.
As far as mapping other buttons goes, could you post a quick example of what I would type in the config.ini to map the center D-pad button to act as the "left" button.
I realize the buttons commands are listed in the link you provided in your first post, but I'm having a little bit of trouble figuring this out.
Thanks.
Great app btw.
I'm gonna have to have another go at this... For some reason I just can't wrap my head around the setup of the program.

Try this! (more stuff added)

Ok, by now you probably know HTC's nice text selection tool. To use it, write some words in a HTC application (like the text message composer), then tap-and-hold somewhere in the text. You get one handle to move around, or two if you want to select a precise part.
But there's more. Change "HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier" from 0 to 1. Now activate the text selection tool again as described above and try moving the single handle around...
Nice catch. Can be helpful in tight selections. I've been looking through the reg. So much stuff disabled... Why does HTC do this? They could've placed it as an option on SMS menu...
Thanks. Added to tips thread.
Maybe they disable it so we at XDA have something to do until HSPL is released
Some other simple but cool things I discovered:
* You can use the album app to crop pictures. Just pinch-to-zoom until the part you want fills the screen, then tap the screen, tap the icon on the bottom right and choose the second option from the menu. In Dutch it's called 'Schermafbeelding opslaan'. It will save a cropped copy of your pic.
* Here's a registry entry I found: "HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/InternetPush/EnablePushInternet". It's set to 0 by default. I'm not really interested in push internet, so I haven't experimented with this, but it seems you can enable it if you want.
* Sometimes touch scrolling gets in the way of selecting text. If you want to select text, the solution depends on the context, but to start you just tap-and-hold anywhere:
-- In Opera, you can switch text selection on/off in the context menu;
-- In some apps (like while reading an e-mail message) you get a pop-up menu where the first option is 'make selection' ('selectie maken' on my Dutch device);
-- In Word, just before the pop-up menu appears, you see this: '[T]'. As soon as it appears, move your finger and you'll be able to select text!
* If you like the Footprints app but prefer full size pictures to those square 'polaroids', there's an option to save a full sized copy whenever you create a 'Footprint' (Footprints tab -> Menu -> Settings).
* The 'me' entry in the People app stores your 'owner' info. I know this is widely known by now, partly because I've been posting it everywhere, but I still see so many people complaining they can't register their applications (Resco stuff, SKtools)... because the can't find the old owner info icon. I have registered both Resco Explorer and SKtools perfectly fine without ever bringing the owner info icon back.
I haven't ever been able to get the Text Selection sliders to work on a custom rom even after setting the registry value to 1.
This is an awesome feature and I can't understand why it doesn't work.

you know it only works in text messaging, right? (well, some other htc apps too, apparently, but i couldn't name another one i've seen it in)
Yes of course... I'm aware that it only works in the realm of Sense specifically mail and text. I can do the standard selection thing but I just can't seem to get the sliders.
Any ideas?
hmm, well a common mistake I've come across a few times is people not pressing select the first time.
firstly go type some text into a new text message. (not sure where the idea it works in email came from, certainly doesn't on mine.)
ok, press and hold should bring up a cursor and the words "select|select all.
use the single sljder to set the start(or end, whichever) press 'select' nd now a second slider should join the first, enabling you to select.
Thanks for the responses guys, but as it turned out, I didn't realise that Energy ROMs are stripped of the HTC Messaging Module and that seems to be the only place where this 'feature' works.
It's a shame that's it's not available system-wide considering how easy it makes life.
I installed the HTC Messaging Client and voila, it was it there! but that excitement was short lived considering how bad HTC's messaging client is.
hah couldn't agree more. with the magnifier too its great ,, just never gets used.

Drop down menu's

Hi All,
today i installed SPB Pocket Plus, a great app, but when i want to customize it, i experienced a problem, i could not view items in a drop down menu, it just shows 1 item and could not select another.
For example; when i want to change the Tab header position, it give me a dropdown menu, default is 'On Top', but i could not select another
could i change the settings for a dropdown menu in the registry, of is there somewhere a fix for it?
Using a Deepshining ROM with WM 6.5.
Thanks in advance!
i had the exact same problem which look like to be a rom issue but you can use the down arrow on the d-pad,it'll get u to the next option
when i press on the Down button on the d-pad. nothing happens.
There must be a registry tweak to modify the length of the dropdown menu.
looks like the SPB software modified is, because when i remove it, i could change 'button behaviour' . after installing SPbs software i couldn't.
when typing a character when the dropdown menu is selected it will change it., so defenately the length of the menu is not set correctly.
it used to work for me but all of theat was gone when i updated my rom,ofcourse i don't suggest that u do that for such a minor issue

Missing cut/copy/paste from HTC keyboard, what the?

Typical situation: I have an outlook note (.pwi) file that I keep stored in "my documents" since the pocketpc before my last one, where my WPA TKIP passwords for home and work networks are stored; today I needed to setup the work wifi connection on this hd2.
I open the note, I open the wifi password dialogue, but lo, even if i can select the PSK in the note file and copy it in the clipboard, I cannot paste it to the wifi dialogue, as there is no way to copy/paste text which is outside the scope of the "main" htc apps like mail, sms and such.
There are several empty keys in the second layout of the "symbols" in htc keyboard which could have been filled with useful functions, but none of the buttons in HTC keyboard is able to do the basic cut/copy/paste... either that or I am totally clueless, since hovering the various working keys doesn't come up with any help either (for example hovering the return key in pocketCM keyboard accessed cut/copy/paste).
End of story, I had to switch to home, open taskmanager, switch to note, keep note of some chars, switch to home, open taskmanager, switch to wifi dialogue, write some chars, repeat until PSK is complete. After this I installed the showcase-on-longpress-send cab, but it's still unbelievable that there is no way of having copypaste support in HTC keyboard... and I even like it for the remaining part.
Is there any way to achieve copy/paste functionality feasibly everywhere without recurring to a different keyboard?
I obviously searched the forums here, and the web outside XDA, but to no avail... and I really would like to copy/paste easily everywhere on the HD2 without having to switch keyboards
From within a note, select the text, press and hold the screen, wait for the popup menu to popup with options such as cut, copy, paste and clear.
Jump to the (for example) wifi setup page, press and hold the (example) wep key input box, wait for the popup, you should find only paste is allowed.
Job done.
You might also like this tweak (doesn't work for notes but does for sms and the like)
40. Enable Magnifying Box When Selecting Text
Press and hold your finger on any text in a HTC app such as Messaging and an iphone-esque selection procedure with handles to drag and highlight text will appear. Modify the following registry entry to add a magnifying window as you select and highlight the text. Go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/TextSelection/EnableMagnifier and change from 0 to 1.
copy/paste
Hi,
I've got the same problem on the wifi interface, impossible to copy/paste. On all other screens it's ok but not there (on the HTC HD2)

...not quite, alas! That's what I did, no popup for that dialogue. Maybe it's because, as a password field, it is cosidered "unsafe" to have copy/paste funzionality.
But still, even if it HAD the popup on finger-hold, it would still be a shameful missing capability in any other dialogue (and I've had this problem several other times with this HD2, the wifi was just the last I remembered... no popup-on-hold menu for copy/paste in the window I needed it in, and no function at all in the keyboard for copy/paste.
must be a rom thing then, because I tested it before I posted. (I even dug out my old htc touch to create the note)
opened the note, selected the text, pressed and held the selected text, chose copy from the popup, jumped to the wifi screen, taped the wep key box to put the cursor there, pressed and held, popup appeared with everything greyed out except the paste option, chose paste and a row of stars appear in the wep field.
gonna do it again now to test again, ill edit if I find anything different.
Edit - ahhh ok, i see now, you can't paste into the HTC wifi screen with the green signal strength bar below the network key entry field, but you CAN paste into the winmo wifi advanced screen.
So, you turn on wifi, it finds a network, (shown on the screen with the wifi toggle at the top, networks listed below) click advanced, change network, and select the network from there. The 'configure wireless network' screen appears, click next to get to the authentication page, and you will find if you press and hold the network key box (after unticking ''the key is automatic'' of course ) you will get a popup with paste enabled.
You can also get to those settings pages by going settings - menu - all settings - connections - wifi - advanced.
uhmmmm JayFR appears to have the same symptoms. I am running on ax*lor rom, which is 2.02 and manila 1921, plust 6.5.2, a frequent combo in custom roms.
Still... without necessarily focusing on the wifi key dialogue, I am convinced a copy/paste update to the keyboard is in order, as I recall 100% having had the same problem with missing copy/paste-on-hold popups before elsewhere on this phone...

thanks for the workaround Yet, don't you think that copy/paste SHOULD be integrated in the keyboard through some hold-popup maybe, like accented letters or symbols? <waves hand in the air in jedi fashion>
Oh absolutely, yes, but then i use swype keyboard, where it does have those functions, so i haven't really had any problems to make me notice the lack of function on the default keyboard.
I see :-/ Either I change keyboard, or maybe someone is able to point me to a solution that doesn't involve that?
Possible solution
Try Resco Keyboard. It's not free, but some skins have a ctrl key, that means you can use the ctrl-c and ctrl-v keycombo's like you would on a desktop PC.
Same goes for ctrl-a, ctrl-x etc.
It takes some practice to use the small keys without stylus, but I now can use it with my thumb. I've had it since my wizard. And everywhere else you can use the built-in keyboard.
If you use it a lot it may be worth the steep price ($20)

Thank you for the input, yet spending 20$ to have copy/paste is out of my scope... especially considering that it should be one of the basic function for a SIP. Like saying that you need to pay for another electricity contract because your current one allows you to power almost everything, BUT xmas tree lights I'd rather complain with the service company (which I did on HTC site BTW) instead of paying more to have a more lively festivity!
give "finger keyboard" a try. free and written by an xda dev plus has cutcopypaste as press and hold keys along with arrows home end .com uk and such like. looks nice too.
By using QuickMenu you can have the copy, cut and paste.
Goto QuickMenu option, General tab, tick "Long-press win logo", select "Text edit".

that's in fact what I used on my old ipaq, and the first thing I'll be installing if nothing else but changing SIP helps

I did download and install "quickmenu for hd2", thanks for your suggestion! Now that's something. Maybe overrated to install all that just to have copypaste function, yet it works.
After all, for 55kb of occupied ram, and1-2% of CPU only when doing something with it, it's a good deal!
Which also came useful in another occasion where copy/paste was missing from keyboard: editing file names from within total commander... sweet!
