Possible to change the size of phone buttons ?

Hi,
The P3600 is a terrific device, even more since GPS is active. But, there is one minor annoyance with it : the phone app. Its keys are really too tiny to be used with a thumb.
I am wondering if there is a way to change the look of this phone app and make the keypad buttons larger. I've looked around Google and other sites for an answer to my question, but couldn't find anything. Maybe somebody here can help ?
Thanks a million in advance.

You can install a dialpad, at the upgrade and modifying section, search for smartdial + eten. It has some big and nice dialpads or just download it from here.

Just install and restart.

Thanks a lot ! I found the topic you are reffering to, but there's no hint on where to get my hands on that famous dialpad. Maybe a little extra help, please ?
EDIT : Found it, OK -- forgot to mention

Another great way of making the pocket pc more usable with one hand! Thanks a lot for this advice, using it now and it works perfectly!!
I only wish there would be some similar type of large keypad for writing text messages as well, anyone has any clue? The one I´m using now (Phonepad) is not nearly as good and doesn´t have equally large keys, which would help.
Thanks!

For the large keyboard, there's SPB Full Screen Keyboard

Only twist is that is always displays in landscape... But very usable though.

you can also use SPB Full Screen Keyboard in Portriat mode... the only downside is that the keys are narrower to fit the screen. i use it in Portriat mode...

Rotation issue

Hello everyone, my name is Nick and this is my first post in this great forum. I have been using the TD2 for some months now and i think it's a really great phone!
The only problem i've come across so far is that the G-Sensor rotates the screen in some applications i'd rather see horizontal like the phone dialer and the Sim Toolkit service. It's really annoying to see the screen rotating when i am talking on the phone because it messes up the screen too!
I've tried many programs like Gyrator 2 or G config but none of them seem to do what i want. I don't want to disable the G sensor of the phone cause it's really useful when browsing or writing messages.
Any ideas of how to solve this? Thanks in advance!

I use Gyrator and disabled everything i don't wan't to be turned, works perfect!
It looks like you didn't set-up Gyrator properly, read the manual carefuly.

When you look in Gyrator Events you will see this list:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Make sure that everyting that you don't wan't to rotate is listed above Rotate.
You can add new events (click and hold on a blanck section) and put them higher in the list by click and hold them and chose Promote.
If you don't know wat you should enter in a event for a non-rotating event just look, by editing (click and hold and chose edit) in a excisting Disable(***) event, i did to.
Good luck!

I tried that too but i just keeps rotating when i turn the device.
I created a new event and checked "Orientation", i named it "Disable (Dialer)" and promoted it above "Rotate". Then i edited it like that: Application=Phone, Orientation=Portrait (or landscape, i tried everything on the list), Actions=Rotate Screen (or nothing checked, i tried both) but it still doesn't work. I even tried disabling the HTC dialer and using the WM one but nothing changed. I'm starting to believe it's haunted!

You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.

Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Keyboard Fails to Launch

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

This is on the opening screen of my HD2 when it's been locked. The keyboard is so easy to use and is very native of a conventional phone keypad. It makes for easy use and the screen is still free to both read and write your text.

trust me, im searching something like this since 2 years T.T am i too stupid or is there really nothing like that?
when im walking around with my phone.. i cant type in qwerty mode :/ when i switch to "phonepad" it suxx cause the buttons are again too small when im walking
on the pin input screen there are even two unused buttons, wich we could use as smileys or other things...

As this screen is already in my phone, I would have thought that it was possible to mix into a cab for keyboard use. I am not a programmer otherwise I would try..

What's wrong with the regular Phone Keypad that comes pre-installed?

What I would like is the keypad as in the first image for my texting and messaging... not just for dialling numbers..
When I am texting, I do not need all of the other clutter that robs my screen of space so larger keypads would be nice.. I currently use this -
But I need to turn it on its side to text and I only get one line of screen to read what I am writing.. but like I said, the keypad in the opening screen would be just right for me..

If you download the hero IME keyboard, which you can find by using the search function on mobilerumor.blogspot.com, it has a phone keypad feature.

Its look like u have installed to many strange apps. Try remove the suspicious one by one. If u use specific ROM, ask at the ROM dev thread.

I can suggest to try to keep this thread up for a few days, if no one responding with the same experience then it will probably not a a kind of bug but some kind of mishandle about how u maintain ur phone.
