Touch-it 4.4

I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.

Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.

you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.
Good Luck

known issues HD2 for ROM 1.66.404.1

Hi all,
I'm experiencing some issues with my HD2, and so far they haven't been solved by HTC. I doesn't seem to find a "known issue list" per ROM, but may be I'm overlooking somehow. please let me know if there are answers to the following problems/ questions:
1. I cannot influence on the default display order of first name/last name when I sync my contacts with outlook. it always saves the "wrong way around"
2. when sending "long SMS" (text over 2 messages) the second one rarely arrives at the recipient.
3. the SMS forwarding option from the SENSE UI does not work properly: it suggests to forward the last message from the conversation modus, although I selected another one to forward. when I press "ok" from the status menu and try again, it works fine.
4. the SMS conversation modus of the SENSE only shows me the last 25 messages. when I delete some of these I get the older ones back one by one, filling up till 25 each time. I don't want to be cut after 25. Is there a setting?
5. The twitter peep app. refuses to pop a sound when a new tweet arrives, although this is setup in the sounds settings
6. Where can I set that I don't want to keep all the old tweets until the end of times? I would like to drop history older than let's say 1 week.
7. What happened to the "post time" of the tweets older than one day in the peep app? I want to keep seeing those!!
8. When I use the Google search bar from the SENSE UI, I get a nice results list. When I click these results, I go to an internal Google page that holds the main text of the internet page. at the bottom of that page I can click to go to the actual page. How can I set it up to go immediately from the results page to the actual internet page?
9. On my device it seems to be impossible to connect a bluetooth car kit headset to my device. It recognizes 20 phones that are in cars next to me but not my headsets (only tested with nokia devices).
responses much appreciated. other issues: more than welcome, but please check your ROM first.

2nd attempt

On point 9. Go to the settings tab and then click "menu" and "All Settings".
Now go to the bluetooth icon and make sure your phone is discoverable.
I had this same issue trying to pair my phone with my GPS to use the hands free functionallity.
Make sure you turn off discoverable mode once the devices are paired.
Good luck.

1 - download contact fix availble from the forums
8 - you need to go into the settings of google and change it to desktop not mobile view

i dont use the internet tab i just start opera from a quicklink but once changed it should stay

1.
You have to save each contact as firstname and then surname. This you do when opened a contact, edit, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Press the big button "MORE". Here you can "Save as" and choose first name, then surname.
Yes, from what I know, you must do this with every contact individually. When it's done, you should be able to sync and they should stay that way. At least this is what I've done, and it works for me.

1. There's a cheap app in the Marketplace called Contact Changer that will display all your contacts how you'd like.
5. Yep that's annoying. It makes the alert noise when it updates but not when you get a new tweet. Odd.
8. There's a permanent setting in Google settings to change this.

is there any fix for No. 4?

email signature

does anyone know how to edit the email signature?
It currently says "Sent from my HTC" but i would like to change this.

Go to Messages-Tab, click on "Inbox" --> right softkey --> Extras --> Options --> in the lower right of the screen is a "signature-button"...

Hi,
The following works for me on stock ROM 1.66 (Maeffjus' suggestion doesn't). Go to Mail tab. Press Inbox, Menu then Tools (you may need to scroll down to see this item)/Options. Near the bottom of the screen is a box marked "Signatures". Press this and the box containing "Sent from my HTC" appears and you can now change it. Press OK in top right to save your change. Remeber and do this for each email account in question.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. Its nice to make it more personal.

I'm using a T-Mob 2.10 rom... sorry for the wrong tip..

Hey, it's not wrong, just different. If JamesHillton is on the same ROM as you it will work perfectly .

Seen from this point of view, I will agree and regret my excuse

Thanks for the advice, i was looking in the account settings options and couldnt find anything there. Im also on the Vodafone 1.66 Rom, so your advice was spot on.
Thanks again.

Cool. Glad to have been of help.

Here is how you do this. Its much easier to find with the old interface.
Tap Start > E-mail > Menu > Options > Signatures and then select the account to which you want to add your signature.
Select the Use signature with this account check box, and then enter your signature in the provided text box.
Check Use when replying and forwarding to add your signature to replied and forwarded messages

thanks..but it's look great with HTC logo..can or not?

Removing HTC e-mail signature

I'm trying to remove the irritating HTC e-mail sig from my Leo.
I know this is an apparently daft question, as I've duly searched and the rest of the world gives lots of simple ways of doing this.
Method 1
As I'm a new poster I can't post links, but on thread ID 605124 on this site suggests "Simply go to START/E-Mail. Choose MENU/Options. Now there should be a button "Signatures", press it and change the text in the box."
If I try that I get as far as a menu that has active options for New, Send/Receive, Follow up and Go To, and there isn't even a greyed out "options".
Method 2
Again, i can't post the link, but thread ID 85752 at the ppcgeeks forum suggests "In Outlook.... Tools > Options > Signatures"
However my Outlook icon only brings up options for Contacts, Calendar, Notes and Tasks.
Method 3
A verizon forum suggests "In my TP2, I opened Messenging, and then on the SELECT AN ACCOUNT screen, I went to lower right of the screen, and selected MENU -> Options. There is a signature button below my "Tap an Account to Change Settings" box, and I am able to disable signatures on all of my e-mail accounts."
I don't get the select an account screen, but if I open "HTC Messages > Settings > Options > Signature", then all three options are already de-selected and the signature box is blank. I tried replacing it with a space and telling it to use that as a sig, but that didn't work either.
---
I also tried the question on another forum at Modaco. Someone posted a screenshot of what they get then they follow the 1st way suggested here, and I get to a different screen if I follow the same steps. I'm thinking it might be because I have unselected "display account picker when opening messaging", but I can't find any way to get it back!
Any wonderful person able to help?

Go to E-mail tab, Inbox, Menu, *scroll down*, Tools, Options, Signatures..
Hope that helps.

Damm! All that because I didn't notice the scroll bar!
Thanks!
The worst of it is I knew I was being daft and I didn't want to post the Q because I knew there must be an answer that was really obvious, and I still couldn't find it.

You arent the first to not notice the scroll, , you arent even the first this week, and i'm pretty sure you wont be the last.

new contact enter First and Family name

I own a HD2. When I wish to add a new contact, say, John Smith, I click on the NEW CONTACT icon and then a windows appear. In this windows I have 3 blank field:
- Name:
- Company:
- File as:
I enter John Smith: but I wish to have a sub-field called: 'First name' and the select it for 'John' and another sub-field called 'Family name' and put in it 'Smith'
how to do?
Thanks
Saulo

I am sure there is such an option, to select a sub-field...I once opened this but some kind of gesture (maybe double click or long-click on a certain area of the screen...I cannot duplicate that gesture now.
Can someone please help or suggest?
Saulo

I read the manual at page 102: there is no explanation on how to select independently First Name and Family name fields on middle name field.
The way I do now is to
- sync with outlook 2010
- re-edit the contact on my outlook
- re-sync again with my HD2
But of course this is time consuming...
Thanks and waiting
Sauli

strange that you don't have first and last name fields,,, does your new contact tab not look like mine?
EDIT oh wait, you are using the windows mobile new contact, not sense new contact.

Hallo Sam
Right, I do not have your screen. I have a simplified one with only 3 areas:
Name
Company
Fle as
Any suggestions?
Saulo

I have dutch version, but I manage with following:
Windows key > Outlook > Contacts > new
Then on the name field there is a small triangle (seet screenshot) this will open a sub-screen where you may enter all information.
Note I have downloades Mobile Office 2010, perhaps that is causing this.
...
So I am not using HTC_Contacts....

Thanks a lot!
I now understand that my problem is that I use HTC sense...Probably if I download microsoft Office 2010 Mobile, as you did, it will disable HTC sense, (which does not allow for name sub-fields). Can you suggest me the link for it?
Thank you!
Saulo

I have downloaded and installed Office 2010 including outlook...but still HTC sense prevails and when I click outlook > new contact HTC contacts shows up...
Conclusion: I need to disable HTC Contact...any suggestion?
Thank you!
Saulo

You should push the windows key, then outlook 2010, then contacts (the Blue Icon).
Not Sense contacts, more.... that's sense contacts, there you miss the fields you want.
If you have CHT, you could make a quicklink to contacts, the "blue Icon" is what you're looking for, not the "greyish Rolodex card".

Thanks for your support
That is exactly what I do: I click on windows key (I have unistalled HTC Manila) and then on Office Mobile 2010 folder icon: inside there is NO Outlook.
There is another folder icon, called "Outlook". If I click inside I can see:
- Contacts (a yellow icon)
- Notes (green background icon)
- Tasks (red)
- Calendar (blu blackground)
I click on Outlook (Yellow icon), then NEW > then the follow two screen appears...
Do you a way to unistall completely HTC Contact ?
Thanks
Saulo

OK,
I notice you have e t-mobile branded phone.
They have a tendency to screw around bending things to their own taste..... (as does vodafone BTW). Mine is unbranded.
I am afraid I cannot help you as T-Mobile seems to have F**ED around with Outlook.....
Sorry mate.

Any suggestions about how to fully disable HTC Contacts?
Thanks a lot!
Saulo

Yes it is t-mobile, but since the second day I have hard reset and installed a cooked ROM (I cannot recollect which one), so it now as any unbranded one.
Obviosly I could try different cooked ROM, but I have too many software installed, I prefer to try to Disable HTC first.
have a nice day
Saulo

no more suggestions about disabling HTC Contacts skin?
Saulo

I just installed the Enery Rom (loving it BTW), and behold: same screen you have.
as a side note if you installed a custom rom, why is it still branded with t-mobile?
Normally branding disappears when flashing a new rom. T-mobile is printed on Phone.... it's the colour that threw me off (in combination with print on top )
As an alternative:
Could you do following:
Goto home screen, slide to contacts, select all people, new
pls post screen.

I got another screen... it gives me more possibilities.
Sorry for you it is not that way.
Perhaps you should try flashing another ROM?
I am using energy diniks glass from sptember 18th

I know, but I cannot change ROM now, since I have too many software installed and it would require too much time to re-install them.
I remember an utility caled BsB Tweaks: can it disable HTC?
There is another utility I forgot the name, which is powerful and probably contains some tweaks to kill any residual HTC applications, including HTC contacts...can somebody remind me?
Thanks
Saulo

found the answer:
when in edit mode put your cursor in the field "Name" and hit the "Enter" key.
