Weird icon disappearing

Hi again,
I've noted that on the right top of the screen in WM6, the Volume and half of the mobile range has disappeared, just like there's something over it...
Any Idea on what could it be?
Thanks!

It might help, but the time doesn't show off on te top of the screen, even if I have it checked.

Nobody can help me

Perhaps some stupid software that has been installed. Try a soft-reset.

It doesn't work. I've made soft and hard resets.
Maybe I'm uninstalling every program installed and install everything again...

screenshot?

Re-flash your WM6.

What's that?

ahem , hmmm ... hard reset the device .. when u get the coloured strips press the camera and recording buttons at the same time ull get a menu . use the camera and recording key to set the options to No/Yes/Yes . and the press on the mail button to confirm the settings.

I get the same with a funny task manager (don't remember the name)... in WM5

you can disable x-button and see if this thing is still there

Not sure about the X button.
Looks like that is active as you can see something in the corner.
If I look at my device (left to right) I have G; signal, speaker, time, X.
He has G; Signal, [Blank] X.
So something is overwriting speaker / time.
Are you running Batterybar as I know that they use that place.
It looks like an app that is just not displaying as it should..
Do you remember what you have installed and what used to use that space?

Now I remember that there was a small white battery level indicator that's not there anymore.
Is there any way to recover it or delete it?
Thanks!!!

The best thing for you is to reflash WM6-Helmi_c, and dont forget the NO/YES/YES game at the start.

And follow these step by step:

Thank you guys. It seems like it's working now.
Now it does make a real Hard-reset.
Thank you very much.

I found out what happened. It's every time I start ScummVM.
I've made a backup of what I had, so now I'm not worried anymore.

disable both action screen, and dialer when slide open

Hi, I usually slide open just to power on the phone.
So, I would like nothing to happen when I slide the phone open when on the today screen..
Does somebody have an idea how to do this?

Are you talking about the Keypad QuickTasks?
You can easily find the option on Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Keypad QuickTasks

Yes, I mean the dialpad quicktasks.
When this is disabled I get the dialer instead.

As a "workaround", you could just press the red "hangup" button after opening the phone to return to the home screen...

this annoys me too, i may write a small program that looks for the keyboard opened event, and minimises the phone program

That will be cool!

Oh.. I've been using a certain "Yet another lock app" v1.2 or something like that... and I always set mine to lock and suspend everytime I do a right to left sweep (via FTouchFo). And everytime I slide the keypad, it automatically unlocks and nothing comes up; no quicktasks nor phoneapp). I'm not kidding... I don't know if it's a good "side-effect", but that's how it works.

can you post a link or the cab?
I hate the search function!

I actually prefer this than any other locking app out there since this app uses the same built-in Device Lock program with a few nice modifications.
Enjoy!

Optional Alternative
I wrote a mortscript file to disable both menus
1. Extract
2. Place "Kill" folder in Program Files
3. Place run.mscr in startup
4. Reset
Enjoy

Simple fix for this
Hi there,
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.

Agreed Thanks fenallen

i've come accross a problem - a reset seems to wipe the settings and has reverted to showing the phone screen???

Well it seems to survive a soft reset as well as power cycles with the battery removed so I presume you mean a hard reset, in which case ... isn't that the point of a hard reset?
I would be amazed/worried if it wasn't set back to default by a hard reset.

nope, i am on about a soft reset! i'll try again to see if it keeps the settings this time

Im happy to say it works fine, after i made a soft reset.

power on/off
it´s posible to change the action of the power buton hardkey?
thanks

Soft button assignment...

I have assigned the right soft button to rotate the screen, but every once in a while it manages to reset itself and reverts back to the Today menu...which is annoying....(I think it does it everytime i charge the phone)
Can anyone help....?
Also, is there a way of answering a phone call sraight to speakerphone?

TouchFlo3D installed?

Yes it is....

TF3D automatically maps the right button to "Today". I don't know if there is a fix for this because I don't use it but you might want to read through the related threads for the solution.

That is frankly inconvenient to say the least...I'll have to research this and find a solution...Thanks for your help...

Why not just deinstall TF3D? It's crap, it's slow, it messes up the phone and the usabililty is very weak because you have to flip the pages to get all the functions sonyericsson has in one panel.

I like it to be honest...its the main panel that I use...
It is slow, but I don't mind it though.....personal opinion I suppose

Typing a nightmare?

If you find that it's really difficult to type using the hd2 - I advise you Align the screen.
The device doesn't make you do this when you first boot it but I found it solved my problem.
go to....
settings >> menu >> all settings >> system >> screen
I advise you not to use a stylus to do this but your finger - may be a bit tricky but if you can touch the crosses accurately enough with your finger you will find this benefits you when using everything.
I also turned on ClearType as I always had that on and default is off.
hope it's not been mentioned already.

Thats really good to know. A lot of people said that with capacitive screens you don't align them but with my Hero I had to.
Very very good news, thanks for this

I think it has a lot to do with the keyboard manager.
I've tried HTC's, Resco's and SPB's keyboard, and SPB is by far the best for fingers, since it does not change letters after you type them, and it even allows full-screen keyboard when you need to type a lot of complicated symbols.
Resco's is too small and makes it hard to type symbols besides letters; HTC's is overly predictive and corrective to the detriment of productivity. SPB just works.

Wow!!! What a diference. You barely even need the predictive keyboard after aligning the screen.

good to know for when it arrives, thanks!
im pretty sure I posted this, but im dead tired, so since im here...
anyone tried this keyboard, http://www.mobiletextinput.com/about.php

yeah someone who had a HD2 before me told me they had to hard reset after trying align..
so I tested it earlier (just to see) and of course it works fine.. typing is now a joy rather than a bear to use !

hard reset would just clear away the setting causing you to do a new alignment, back and fort
think you mean soft reset?

I know EXACTLY what I meant, thank you very much!
the guy who tried the screen align could no longer use the screen, so resorted to a hard reset to get rid of it.
I'm wondering what they did wrong to cause it not to work...

After posting above I did run into some trouble in landscape mode. However, a soft reset got everything working perfectly.

After using resistive screen we need to remember to raise fingers that little bit further when typing. I'm beginning to type pretty fast now without mistakes.

So are people definately finding improvements in accuracy of typing when using aligning feature or is it best to leave it alone?

problems with typing
I did align the screen and turned on the cleartype.
After doing that it was just a tad better than it was before.
And it was a nightmare !!
But i tried to turn cleartype OFF.
And it is alot better now !!

Does anyone find it annoying how sentences don't actually automatically capitalise after using a full stop?
I have 'auto capitalise new sentence' option ticked under input settings too. Oddly, it auto capitalises after the use of '!' and '?' but just not a full stop...

I too am finding this keyboard hard to use. Sometimes impossible. I have aligned the screen and am trying to be as gentle as possible. In fact I find u don’t even have to touch it to set it off. Just hover your finger above the screen. And even hovering your finger above it can cause it to go mad and press every button in sight.
Sometimes if I press backspace repeatedly, it will press m, n, b, and v buttons too for me. I mean that’s about a finger and a half away from where I’m touching.
I have tried using the keypad as the buttons are bigger and again here I find if I press 7 (pqrs) it can press the one button too, and u can see it twitching all of the place when u hold. I held the power button to get the shutdown/lock options screen up, and without even touching the screen it selected silent. I’m finding it very very frustrating. I have been used to using the iPhone 3GS for few months, which I hate, but so far the screen is miles better.
I even opened notepad and drew some lines and on some swipes u can see instead of producing a smooth line it jaggers all over the place. To me it seems over sensitive/broken, but from what others say is this correct? The touch HD input was better than this. But I have no problems using the phone elsewhere than the keyboard.
The phone is great but currently I’m hugely disappointed with the screen. And so its letting the whole unit down.
Am i being useless or does my unit sounds bust?

My HTC Hero does this also, which is quite annoying!

Ok, when the Touch HD was out there was a program which allowed you to increase the sensitivity of the screen, think it was HD Tweak. This improved the sensitivity of the screen quite well.
Maybe there is a registry tweak we can do to turn down the sensitivity of the screen to help out?
Has anyone informed HTC about this yet?

I found typing accuracy slightly worse after running the alignment process which is weird.
The problem is, we're blazing a trail with the HD2 as there are currently no other winmo devices with a capacitive screen. The HTC full qwerty doesn't seem to be ideally suited to capacitive - the keys register presses far too readily and sometimes, as your finger is lifted from the screen, it's very easy to register a press in an adjacent button.
After a couple of days using it, it seems accuracy and a light touch are the order of the day - until HTC (or another enterprising software house) release a keyboard that's actually tailored to the Leo

Is this setting is what need to be changed for changing the sensitivity?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Touch\Filter]

Secret menu on X2 seen

Today I was holding my phone when i was at work and i dont know what i preseed and a menu apeared. I couldnt even look at it real good couse my boss was comming towards me. it was like a service menu.
i klicked on accelerometed button (there was more buttons, accelerometer is the 2nd button i think) and then there was choosen 270 degrese option witch means left sided landscape and there was XYZ coordinates wich changed when i was moveing the phone and some other options.
i couldnt looked up the whole menu couse my boss was there and was asking me something just a second afther that. It must be a testing menue or something.
I remember i was pressing the front buttons but cant recall the combination and i think it was the end call and the OK buttons that i was pressing.
But there is a menu and i want to get to it again. does anyone know this combination od buttons. the menue is only in black and white, no icons no colors...

I don't know the combinaison but the soft is ServiceMenu, you can found it on the windows directory

abouth the ><>><>< ofcorse it isnt true that was the combination on the t610 and k 700 k750 phones. on the windows mobiole this isnt the combination.
abouth the service menue yes it is true i just need to figure out the combination.
maybe its supposed to be hidden and with help from some bug it popped up I dont know. But it is there.
I saw some forums when i was searcinh the web to fond this menu that some folks have reporting thair phones have secret menues just for fun (scams, hoaxes) but i have seen it. Im so interested in looking on it and go trough the whole menu.
Ill search further.
Sorry abouth bad english.

Hey, guys, has anyone read what wrote toffeur? You don't need the combination, just look into the /Windows directory and find... who would guess that, ServiceMenu.exe.

UPDATE: Can also edit ILLUMINATION Settings!
UPDATE 2: NVM, it doesnt save the settings.. =(

yes, the combination works, right is end key, left is call key

Works haha!

It does work! who could figure out that start call and end call buttons to be left and right. Nice work it only took us 2 days to figure out what I pressed. Ty. Could anyone with X1 try if this works on his phone to?

This is handy to check if your screen is actually calibrated properly.
