Writing SMS with standard mode with one hand?

Very often I have to write an SMS with one hand, but it is impossible with Qtek 2020.
I would like to find a software where you can write an SMS with the standard mode (like on normal GSM) with standard numbers 1-9 with letters on them.
I use D9 to find the contact and I think it is very usefull.
When you find a contact and you tap the SMS button near the number it should be very appriciated to have a standard GSM input letter mode (like T9) instead of default SMS client of WM.
Do someone know if a software like this exists?
Thanks for the answer,
Urosh

GO to www.yorch.net and look under "software".

I' don't find any software I described before.
Please let me know which one do you think do what I said.
Thanks,
Urosh

I apologise, I thought it was on yorches site, here is the link for you, it is a superb piece of software and it is FREE. Anybody else wants a brilliant sms program make sure you get it too.

I just found a bug in this program when running on xda2, if you push "select" button when entering phone number it gives an error, but ig you spend a little time inserting all your often used numbers you can use the drop down becuase it remebers the last 20 numbers that you have used, its worth a little time to set it up becuase it saves a lot of time in the long run.

Actually it's not working at all with my mda ii It says: message sent successfully, but later on-message not delivered Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Is there a special format in which I have to put the number of receipient?

i think, only way is spb fullscreen keyboard or typeango ..

It's working fine on my XDA-II with T-Mobile ROM 1.60. The only thing is that if I am trying to send to local mobile number I have to enter the number with '+', country code etc. while I could use 'short' number with ordinary mobile phone.

Ok, that seemed to do the trick. Tnx a lot, it's working now flawlessly. But, I still have another question -how do you input "+" directly from the SMSwriter. "+" is on the same key as the "0" and whatever I do I keep getting "0". Of coarse, I could call up the keyboard but for that would again need a stlyus

Its a serious shortcoming, its a pity somebody couldnt patch on the ability to select searchwhich would bring up the contacts list, any offers from you programmers please???

unfortunately, found no way around it, I used to enter '+' with soft keyboard using a pen. The only temporary solution which comes to my mind is the list of numbers used to send SMS already (there should be some 25 numbers kept).

For me is impossible to use this software only with my fingers.
It has too small dialogue boxes (to find the contact).
For me the best solution would be to have a D9 program that integrates a SMS client which has the same keypad which is at the start of the program (with big buttons) to write to message (when the contact has just been selected).

Annoyance with WM5 behaviour related to number cut and paste

Thought I'd throw this one in incase I'd missed something.
There appears to be some basic failings in the ability to cut and paste phone numbers between various applications on the WM phone.
Take the example that I receive a SMS text message from someone not in my contacts database.
I know who the person is and I want to create a new contact entry using the received phone number.
There appears to be no way of cutting or copying the phone number from the messaging section and pasteing it into a new Contact.
Or it may be that I already have an entry for the person I just don't have their mobile number number in the contact record (or what ever new number is received).
Have I missed a trick here - or indeed is this a limitation that exists. If there is a work around I'd love to know. i just have such an appauling memory for numbers that I couldn't even remember between flicking between applications - let alone the scope for error.
Thanks

Re: Annoyance with WM5 behaviour related to number cut and p
Open the message (instead of just reading it from the list or notification window). You'll note that the From: field is already selected.
Press the Menu softkey, then Save to Contacts.
Simple as that

OK so that allows you to create a new contact. Once you have them in contacts you can do a copy of the number and paste it into an original record. Then delete the new contact just created. Ideally I'd like to miss out the intermediate step of creating another new contact - for those where I know I already have a contact entry, but just not with that particular number.

I agree with you.
There should be an extra choice after save to contact.
Like new contact/ add to contact.
The same with email. If i want to add an emailadres it makes a new contact.
An other problem i find is that copy/ paste is not always available when i select a text.
When I rename a file in file explorer I can't select the word and copy/paste by "tap and hold".
Now i use GSPocket Magic to copy/ paste

You would have thought that on the, what is it, 3rd iteration of WM they could have sorted this out.
It is behaviour like this that can make all the diference between something that is really user friendly and something which is torturous.
Hopefully there are some influential people who read this that can feed it back to the powers that be.

You can try PQz fot copy/Paste : http://www.nicque.com/PQz/
This there too : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=33343

open up the message, where is says the from tap and drag on the screen to highlight the number then tap and hold on the highlighted but then when the menu opens click copy

Remap Goodlink soft keys

I have just uninstalled Goodlink from my Wizard but don't know how to switch the softkeys back to the original apps. I have found a post (elsewhere) on registry key changes that supposedly work but they don't. Does anyone know where the softkey program association lives and how to modify it?

I have the exact same problem...I'll let you know if I find any useful info if you agree to do the same. I feel Like GoodLink has hijacked my wizard!

Question update
Does anyone know where in the registry the softkey application association lives? I have found one internet post on the subject which was close but didn't actually work.

i also have the same problem. i've reg edited the softkeys, but everytime i restart goodlink puts them back. goodlink contacts doesn't have photo contact. any help?

I have found the fix! here it is from another forum.

How To: Override the Contacts Softkey with Goodlink
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, after much frustration, I finally figured out a way to override the right softkey after installing Goodlink so that the Outlook contacts comes up instead of the Goodlink Contacts.
Several people have tried adding the 113 registry entry and pointing it to the outlook contacts shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Pocket Outlook\Contacts.lnk. However, while that link works from the Start Menu, it doesn't when you assign it to the softkey. The assignment works (you can verify this by changing the name of the softkey). However, it still somehow pulls up the Goodlink Contacts.
The best option would be to type in the actual program name into the 113 registry entry. However, since there isn't a separate Contacts.exe program, you can't do that. You have to type in "poutlook.exe contacts", which it won't interpret correctly.
So, the way I finally got it to work was by creating a new registry entry to replace :MSCONTACTS, which is what the Contacts.lnk file mentioned above refers to. Somehow, the Goodlink contacts program overrides the :MSCONTACTS value when it is called from the softkey.
So, here goes.
First, create a key in HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai
called ":MSCONTACTS2". Now, copy all of the values in the ":MSCONTACTS" key over to the ":MSCONTACTS2" key. Edit the "1" value so that it says "poutlook.exe contacts". You have now created a new shortcut/service/whatever to open contacts. However, this service won't be overridden by Goodlink.
Now, Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys
There should already be a 112 key (which refers to the left softkey). Create a 113 key for the right sotkey. Copy the two values from the 112 key to the 113 key. Rename the "Default" value to say "Contacts" (this is the display value for the softkey). Rename the "Open" value to say ":MSCONTACTS2", which is the entry we just created.
The right softkey will work immediately without restart. However, my phone freaked out the first time I received a call and kept ringing. So, I did a soft reset. However, when you do that, you end up losing the registry entries you made for some reason. So, instead of doing a soft reset, turn off your device. It then shuts down gracefully and saves the registry values. When it boots up you should be ready to go.
Enjoy.

disable bubble notification on incoming call

Hi all,
I'm new in ppc community (I bought a Trinity and I'm really happy with it ^^).
I searched everywhere to find a solution to disable bubble notifications when an incoming call comes but I found nothing else than same question but no answer
I searched on msdn, forums, google... for some days (...week) but nothing...
I know that some people here made an Apple like incoming call software to show a big photo of dialer... can you please help me to find a solution ?
I'm coding with vb.net but I'm open to try with other language (C++ for example).
All I need is a clue
Thanks for all
Steeve

For this and disable SMS Notification bubble and device wakeup!
This is still one of those things i hate on WM!

Here old one here!
"You will need a registry editor to change disable the notification. Download one free at www.phm.lu. You do this at your own risk.
Open the editor and go to HKey_Local_User\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings. Click Menu - New Dword value. Set value name to SMSNoSentMsg and value data to 1.
Restart your device."

Thanks for your trick but this is not what we are looking for. Me (and I think the two others) want to disable incoming call and sms notification. And that's not possible to disable them with the registry

You can change that easy, just the incomming call have not that option there. Go to start/settings/sounds & Notifications, There choose notifications and you can set there -> display message on screen

smart dialer for contacts with no phone number

Does anyone know if there is a reg hack for selecting contacts with no phone numbers from the smart dialer in WM6. I would be totally happy with the search feature if I could search all of my contacts. I use my contacts as a means of organizing lots of information and many entries do not have phone numbers and are therefore not searchable via this interface.

Does anyone know where in the registry this is possible or if it is even possible to do? This would be the fastest most effective way to select a contact if we could correct this issue.

Use EZDial by MESoftware.

Just tried it and ezdialer does NOT find contacts with no phone numbers. I currently use pocketCM and it works quite well but still lacking some features that I require. Ideally the reg hack if possible would solve all issues until pocketCM is fully functional.

You guys are my last hope before I update my phone and give this one to my sister. I am still searching for a the reg hack that will enable me to use the smart dialer to view contacts that have no phone #'s. Anyone
