My phone is now running stock wm6.5.
My questions is regarding the soft-key menus, (the menus activated by pressing 2 virtual buttons at bottom of screen), sometimes they are large text and on other programs small text.
Is it possible to force phone only to use small text menus?
Thanks
Yes, just download my TD2 Tools application at the top of the topaz general forum.

is it possible to write a message on the qtek 9100 (wizard) without using the stylus. When i open the new message menu and input the number i can't move to writing with both cursors on keyboard or 5way joystick...when i press down on both it just moves the scrollbar but not the writing cursor...please help or tell me if it is the same with your wizards...thanks in advance!
if you're using the keyboard you can do it.
type in the number you want to send it to then push the "tab" key and it will move down into the message body.

no, this is not the way i tried it...does it happen with your wizard?
The tab key to change fields works perfectly on my wizard...
do you mean fields in the write new mesage menu does the tab change between recipient and text menus?
I'm not sure I understand what your asking...
Tab would take me from the to field to, say, the body field.
Is that what your asking? Are you trying to get tab to do something else? Like cycle through the contacts when you hit "Menu" -> "Add Reciepient"? That I do with the D-Pad...
when i write a new message i input the number and want to start writing the text. but when i hit the tab button it scrolls the scrollbar the same way the navi button does...it just moves the screen "down" but the cursor stays in the phone number field...
Try pressing Shift and then the down arrow on the keyboard.
I noticed this issue when I first got my Mini S however I also noticed that in later revisions of the ROM they have changed this behaviour so that tab, shift and the down arrow both move the cursor from the To field to the body field.
when i press "shift" and then "down" it happens the same as if i press just down or tab...it scrolls the scroll bar at the right...the tab changes the field i every other menu i repeat EVERY except the menu when you write sms...my rom is the latest on te qtek site 2.17.0001 os 2.17.7.2 is there any newer OFFICIAL rom?please tell me that also(;...please verify this thing in the write sms menu not in any menu with fields because the tab doesn't work only there...weird huh?

I hope I have the reason for not being able to jump from one field to the other without using stylus: it happens when you are using smooth scrolling in internet explorer by the help of a third party program i.e. like tweaks 2k2, spb pocket plus etc.
Try to look if you have somehow enabled smooth scrolling, disable it and make a soft reset. After that messaging without stylus should work again.
Hope it helps!
Kind regards

I had the same problem, and this is the solution for me!
You should change the settings in the following key:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation\
open key "4-Way Nav" and set value=1
THANKS MAN! I appreciate that you wrote those words for me i hope it returns to you someday...cheers
I just purchased a Sprint touch and I have a few noob questions about it. I just upgraded the phone to Windows Mobile 6.1.
1) The volume on this phone sucks! My HTC Excalibur was so much louder. Is there any way to get louder volume out of this phone? Everything I look at tells me it's at max.
2) Are there any better touch keyboards out there? It sucks having to change the keyboard layout just for a period or comma.
3) When the screen is off, is there any way to "wake" it other then tapping the power button?
Thanks!
1)http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=11156
may be a reg tweek here. If not there are other links volume hacks/edits listed in the forums.
2)when in an app that uses keyboard tap up arrow next to keybord icon at bottom screen choose the layout you prefer, I use "touch keyboard" and tap for letters and press and hold button containing period or comma when necessary.
3)Yes, start menu/settings/buttons, there are menu options for what you want each button to do. May need reg edit if your rom doesnt include all the buttons in the menu. Also lets you change press and hold functions!!!
Once you get the hang of it there are no limitations to your phones functions.
I recommend installing resco reg edit or total commander if you don't have it already.
Most cooked roms have the sound and volume fixes already, read all comments on a topic or program before install/action to verify it worked for others.
Good luck!!!
As for keyboard, I like PCM keyboard with the blue iClone skin to match my WM7 theme.
I got the skin and layout from Littlerain's WM7 thread.
try touch diamond keyboard. or touchpal (cost $)
Thanks all!
Hi,
the touch input keyboard has 2 layouts on my HD2. The main difference between the 2 is that in some applications there is no space button but there is ".com" "/" buttons instead. For example if I run the web browser and type the web address then this layout appears and in this case it is very useful . But I don't really understand how it is decided or ruled which layout is selected, because when I go to a page where i try to fill a field the same layout comes up, and no space button available. Sometimes this layout appears when I run other normal application for example messaging. Some times the layout selection works as it should be, but sometimes always the bad layout appears with missing space button. Is there any experience about this, or solution?
Many thanks.
I am trying a couple of ROMs based on windows mobile 6.5.3 and 6.5.5
I noticed that the input selector arrow is missing (keyboard > right side).
So how to make the selection between different input methods? I can't find any manuals online.
Sometimes the options which were available in earlier version (Text Input Settigns, Phone Keypad, Compact Qwerty, About) do appear if I tap twice (quick tapping) sometimes they do not...I am puzzled.
Please can someone point me to the right usage of the new keyboard icon (bottom centre)?
Thanks
Saulo
I noticed that If I tap and hold then a new window appear : "Touch Input"... but this does not solve my puzzle: how to make the keyboard appears and then disappears? (just clisk for 1/3 of seconds) How to make the option appear? it seems too random...
I found my solution: the latest Xanny ROM!
Yes this ROM does provide a new WM 6.5.3 optimized keyboard icon: if I press for less than 1/3 of sec the keyboard layout is toggled (on and off). It is fine.
If I press for 1/2 sec, then the menu of options appear. Xanny improvements is here: there is a button on the bottom line (CLOSE) which is NOT present in all other wm6.5.3 ROMs that I have tested...This CLOSE Button does effectively provide a way to revert to the Keyboard layout.
Anyway, any other feedbacks?
Thanks
Saulo
no guys, it is like with wm6.5 but the arrow to choose keyboard is not visible.
What i want to say is that if you click lower right part of the icon it will show the keyboard selector and the rest of it will hide/show keyb.
regards
The input selector arrow is not a part of 6.5.x UI, it has never been. It was replaced by longpress on SIP button. Of course when longpress is already used (by Sense), this is an issue... But it is not a bug of 6.5.x
Thanks Tryde.
Is there a way to completely disable SENSE, so we can avoid conflicts on the icon selector?
Another questions (a bit off topic): if not possible to disable SENSE, at least can we disable HTC Messaging? I wish to use the keyboard with old fashion Microsoft TXT and SMS messaging.
thanks
Saulo

I may be wrong (not using 6.5.x at the moment), but if you use a third party keyboard (finger keyboard for example), it should disable this popup. Have you tried ?
Possible solution
I have found another possible solution. If you disable the change of SIP, the menu will not appear and there is no troubles with hiding the keyboard.
I disabled SIP menu in registry by changing HKLM\Software\HTC\ezsip\EnableSipMenu to 0.
Little disadvantage is that now you can't change your keyboard. (But if you are using still the one like me, there is no problem.)
Let me now, if it helps you.
Hi All
Bit of a silly problem this.
I flashed my HTC HD2 with a Windows embedded handheld ROM a couple of years ago. I haven't used this phone for ages and have no idea which ROM I flashed.
Anyway, it all worked fine until one day, I found I was using the compact keyboard (2 letters / key) and I cant find a way to get rid of it and return to the normal keyboard)
IIRC originally there was an input selector icon below the keyboard. But on this ROM all I get below the keyboard are
Windows, Done, Keyboard, cancel, OK
I've tried settings>personal>Input where this is an option for phone keypad and compact qwerty but it is not selected and changing it seems to make no difference to the keyboard in use.
Its driving me nuts so can anyone tell me how I get my regular keyboard back?
TFAI
tap & hold perhaps to top of keyboard icon or slightly to left or right perhaps !
If only . . . .!!
I've almost worn a hole in that part of the screen!!
Normally it tap & hold for about half a second slightly to right on the keyboard.
Perhaps try it with keyboard open or closed.
Could also try tap & slide to left on keyboard icon with keyboard open .
If all fails you could do a search for a sip selector tool that can be used for toggling through sips or use sipchange & select sip you want & set delay to 8sec & soft reboot & it should have loaded your chosen sip once booted.

Tap and hold to the right brought up a Text Input settgins window (hopeful but closer examination showed it onoy contained XT9 settings, a tutorial on text input and 'Symbol Lock' + 'Typing Sound'
.
Could also try tap & slide to left on keyboard icon with keyboard open ..
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That brought up a single small pane which had 'Touch Input' and a green circle.
Then touch and hold that made it go away
Then touch to the left of the keyboard icon produced the desired menu !!
I mean WoW, how is anyine supposed to work that out!!!
Anyway I donwloaded the cab in case I get stuck again
Thanks for the advice
Glad you worked it out :-S
Is a bit out of the usual on your ROM.
Really needed a more detailed sip icon so was intuitive of left/right tap zones :-/
Most proper roms have htc ezsip built in which also can have a shortcut in programs for activating a full sip selection menu.
if you decide you want a change/improvement I would recommend the NRG custom ROM, link below should you ever want try it.

Another one I remembered for sip selection was vjsipswitch.
this pops up a sip menu from shortcut in programs, you can also make advanced shortcuts to select specific sip or have toggle effect
