I tried to change the left softkey to PIE using tweaks2k2. I set it to the file iexplorer.exe because I changed the top buttons to start menu and ok and I have pocket breeze on my today screen already. When I tried to use the left key after a reset, it gave me an error saying it couldn't open the program. Did i need to set it to a different file? Since it didn't work, I just hit the undo button which was supposed to change it back to calendar, but it changed it to phone instead. I got calendar back on it now, but can anyone tell me how to properly open PIE with that button?
I'm having missing buttons!!!
settings > personal > buttons
i've only got 6 options
button 1
button 2
button 3
button 4
button 5 (press & hold)
button 5
there should be another button in that list "button" which controls the context menu.
The roller/scroll thingy on the left side of the dopod838pro. It works fine with default windows applications but with Pocket Informant contacts application, it doesn't want to scroll. Can anyone help me with this problem please? Thanks.

Fuse with HTC ROM - Missing Buttons
Did you get a resolution to this. I have the same problem - but even worse. I have on one button - "Button 1". Is there are a way to cause my missing buttons to reappear?
Thx. James

Hey Guys,
so while playing around with the diamond config utility, i've noticed theres a registry option to enable "manual screen rotation'
Now, since the gsen app currently doesn't work with the Telus ROM, i would imagine that this registry key would allow you to switch the screen manually.
Is there any button i have to press to manually rotate the screen?
If i am completely mistaken about this option, is there another solution besides the gsen app?
I don't mind pressing a hotkey button to manual rotate for the time being until gsen fixes the app to work with telus as well.
Any ideas? Thanks a million!!!!
I have noticed this tweak about as well and have never understood what exactly does it mean. .......
yeh exactly...
i can understand gsen would allow you to rotate automaticaly, but until they fix it, i wouldn't mind doing it manually for temporary purposes.
i would really love to text in landscape mode!
There has to be a way to assign a key to rotate the screen.
Workaround - Quick Menu!

Install an application called "Quick Menu" -- it's a Start Menu replacement that I've used for a while. Referenced in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340358
You can do four things with H-V toggle:
1. Find it in the Quick Menu menu
2. Set Quick Menu so that holding the Windows icon for a second or two will do an H-V switch (great for apps that aren't fullscreen - i.e. blocking the start menu)
3. Create a shortcut to the H-V switch within Quick Menu, and assign that to the press-and-hold button. Great for fullscreen apps like TomTom!
4. If you use Voice Command software (ex. Microsoft's), you can launch the H-V shortcut that way. For example, "Open Rotate" launches the H-V icon which I've renamed "Rotate".
All these make more sense once you get to know Quick Menu.
great.. thanks for the recommendation but now my phone is messed
first off, it wouldn't stay landscape, it would just resort back to portrait, and now when i closed the program, and rebooted, i don't have my task bar in the top right nemore. it disappeared and i cannot get it back
now what?? hard reset?

nevermind, quick fix ... phew!!!! it was in the task manager settings to turn it back on... oh man that was close!!!!
ok this is cool... i got the manual rotation working by holding the windows key.... this is amazing Thank you sooo much!!!
although one qwerk... I find that i cannot use the menu at all. I've pretty much set it to quick turn to landscape... i click slightly to the right to use my regular start menu. reason being is because if i use it, it removes my task mgr in the top right of my screen and then i have to go and enable it manually within my settings.
So im pretty much just using it for holding the windows logo to change my orientation. other than that it's great!!!!
thanks a million man i appreciate it!
Alternatively if you do not want to use additional software like QuickMenu. this method works well...
1) Change your registry to enable screen rotation:
HKLM - System - GDI - Rotation - HideOrientationUI (Change from 1 to 0)
2) Then, simply map your phone button long press to the rotation tweak:
Settings -> Buttons -> Map with <Rotate Screen>
3) When you would like to rotate your screen, just hold your Phone button.

I've done a similar thing but without changing the registry. If you look under screen in advanced config there's the option to have landscape. If you then go into start - settings - system - screen the option to have portrait or landscape is there. you can then go start - personal - buttons and map your screen rotation to whatever key you want.
Here is a cab to enable the rotation if you are not familiar with the registry.

Your changing the registry with advanced config aren't you? Either way works no doubt. More than one way to skin a cat.
A Little application - Trotate
I wrote a little program which will rotate screen following a Finger Swipe.
Originally written for Touch(Elf) program appear to work OK on Diamond.
I have found that when selecting Home Screen that the Diamond will return to normal Screen orientation after a brief pause, or you can return to original orientation by re-running application.
Enjoy....
The best program that I have found for rotating the screen to landscape and back is WkTask, it does heaps more as well but for rotating, it is so easy, you just put the stylus on the close button and slide down and the screen will rotate and repeat and it rotates back to portrait.

Slick! That'll do the trick too!
Re: QuickMenu -- it has its own Running Programs list, and the author decided his app should no conflict with HTC's and auto-disables HTC's. It's weird, but I got used to it.

anyone have problems with the clock in the topright corner, mines gone and half the signal strength meter is covered by a blank
Oh man, thanks a bunch for the info guys!!! so i already had the enable landscape mode in the registry but never knew how to activate it. I just went into my buttons menu and saw the "rotate" screen option by holding the send key! it works great!!!!
no need for any 3rd party appps.
thanks for all the recommendations guys, this method will work wonderfully until the gsen app works for the telus diamond!
thank you once again guys!
ok guys i'm having a problem
i'm using the method of holding send key to manual rotate.
it works working fine when i tried it out, now while im trying to type a text message, it resorts back to the portrait mode, and exits back to the homescreen.
any ideas why?
Hey mightymike84, did you fix this issue or stillcausing headaches for you. I am also on telus and was wondering about the reults before I make a change to the reistry setting. Also I do use the send key for the voice command option, any other way to use say one of the other keys. Thanks.
I am new to the WM world (long time user of the palm treos) so sorry for the noob questions
Hi guys im interested in this manual rotate, but i have no buttons in the button settings to assign manual rotate to (MDA Compact IV) nor can i figure out how to create a short cut in "Quick Menu".
Could some please explain how to get a H-V Rotate shortcut working please?
Hi,
see this post.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428759
The .exe file someone gave me works fine !!!
I put it in the star menu, so i can rotate the programs if they aren't in full screen mode... Like the others the home TF3D comes back to normal after.
Ciao

I have update opera to version 1938 and I have lost the zoom button in the back left corner.
How can I recover the button ?

check this registry key - HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults\ZoomSliderEnabled
it should be set to 1 to enable the zoom button

I wonder I someone else agree that back button in IE is annoying or this is problem with me Consider following situation.
Case A:
Unlock phone -> Menu -> Games -> Some game
I have to do something else and want to stop game so I use back button:
Some game -> Games -> Menu. It is clear and looks logic.
Case B:
Unlock phone -> Menu -> IE -> page 1 -> page 2 -> page 3 etc.
Now I want to do something else but on page 3 there is something interesting so I would like to read later. So I use back button, but now it
page 3 -> page 2 -> page 1 -> Menu
After while I want to continue reading, but when I start IE I have got only page 1 (because IE is so fantastic so remember page when suspended)
I know I can use windows button to call top menu, but when I accidently push back button later over top menu I got IE again. For me this is crazy because over top menu I got something else, so my top menu is no a top menu.
Is there a trick to set some page (in my case called page 3) so I can use back button and after another try to start IE begin from page 3?
I think you're trying to do this right :
You're on page 3
Save page 3 for later and go back to page 1
Finish browsing page 1
Return to page 3?
I don't think that that's directly possible. But, you can bookmark page 3 go back as many times, use other apps then return to page 3 and delete the bookmark.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
The BACK button is definitely annoying when it comes to the browser, as there is no dedicated link or button in the browser for going back.
I would recommend a third party skin for IE mobile...like Browser Plus or Surf Cube ... both of which have back buttons...or a method of going back.
I am sure the UI for Internet Explorer on WP7 will be fixed in an upcoming update though...
When you are on page 3 open a new tab and then use the back button.
Now you get out of IE and when you go back you only have to change the tab and you're on page 3 again
If you swipe to either side under your favorites menu, you can access your browsing history and select the page you want there.
Start Button
When you're on page3 press start button (windows logo), this "ends" ie and let's you start a new app. After all open ie and you'll see...
