After having tried many w6.5 roms, I've decided to go back to the stock 6.1 ROM, which suits 99% of my needs.
I can live with the limitations on this version, but there is ONE things that REALLY annoys me which is the stoopid "Slide down for more options" screen while on a call, which gives you access to the speakerphone, mute, calendar, etc buttons.
Is there any way to disable that screen (thus providing direct access to all the buttons / functions without having to slide it down) on the stock 6.1 rom? Any registry settings?
Thanks for your help
cheers
found other threads on this but no real answers...other than installing a Rodhium dialer, which I dont want to.

Unfortunately, changing the dialer or at least adding a different one is your only option.
Hello, I too have gone from 6.5 to stock 6.1 rom i found 6.5 was a bit slowwer for what i wanted.
I use Touch InCall Screen Tweak Config ( a cab program i found on here) it does not elimatinate the curtain but when on a call it turns off the screens when its near your ear and when u take it away from your ear while in a cal it brings up the screen with out the curtain for a few seconds so u have access to it. After about 4 seconds the curtian comes back, i found it ample time to play around with the call buttons.
I hope this helps

Opening the phone interface there are a number of numbers visible that I've recently dialed.
Some numbers even show what type of number (car, mobile, home work) was dialed by using "<c>" as in indicator.
Intuitive I press and hold one of the last dialed numbers, hoping for an option menu, but nothing happens, only to have this number dialed on release.
This must be a nuiscance to more people than just me.
Is there a solution, or even a better dialer program, so I can exchange this one?
you know how the <txt> or w/e is surrounded by left/right arrows/brackets (<>)? That's to indicate you can swipe your finger (left or right) to cycle through the different options (much better and easier implementation than 'holding' down for the change I think).
Hope it helps
I agree. the standard dialer drove me mad as well. Almost returned the device.
It was especially annoying, because I borrowed a WiMo from a friend first, and I liked the dialer.
The solution: Disable the phone skin, go back to the WiMo dailer.
Many utilities can do this, amoung others: Advanced Config V3.3, HD Tweak, etc. Just disable the phone skin.

just in case: the wm6.1 standard dialer makes you lose the bt status icon in the top bar as well as the in-call volume-control! (but there is a somewhere a thread with a cab to fix that last issue)

Are you sure? Because I they are both still working for me, and I do not recall having to fix it?
The only thing that is missing for me is Video-Calling, though it can still be done from the menu.

strange... for me these two things are the side-effect of going back to the wm6.1 standard dialer, and other users (in another post somewhere) have confirmed that... so just feel lucky that that did't happen to you (but you are sure that you don't have these issues? when bluetooth is switched on, you still get an icon in the top bar, and when you make a call, you can change the volume of the 'person on the other side' with the volume keys (not system or ring volume)?)... so, just feel lucky, no idea why some people have it, some people don't... it's just a warning, but worth a try anyway, as the setting can easily be changed back....
regards jan
In retrospect, you are probably right.
I do have a "bluetooth" icon in my WiMo dialer, but it is in fact my headset icon, probably not the icon you refer to. And in fact, the headset is the one I want, so I do not care about any more base-bluetooth icon
And I rarely set set the volume, but when, I do that by the via the headset also, which also works....
Hi,
I have a WM6.5 rom and when someone is calling me I get a simple popup window and two softkeys at the bottom: accept, reject. I read that when the screen is locked, there is a different incall screen, where you have to slide to answer or ignore. I do not lock my screen, so would it be possible to have the better incall screen by default?
Thanks a lot for the replies.
The app being mentioned is A_C's S2U2 and it provides a full screen pop-up for contact pictures.
I ran without a screen lock for a while until my pocket made a call and used up the £15 of just applied top-up. Now i use S2U2 and have yet to have any problems.
Thanks, will try it tomorrow

you can also try this one, i think this is what u are really looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493593 the latest version is on post 20.
Thanks, but I've found an ideal solutiuon - AutoLock. Now the screen is locking on an incoming call and I get the sliders
Usually when a call comes and the phone is inside the pouch (good for protection), there are several ways of messing up by accepting or rejecting the call even b4 its completely out of the pouch as blelow:
On screen:
1) U can press the on screen message but which will send an auto sms to the caller and end the call
2) U can press the answer key
3) U can press the ignore key
Off screen (hardware)
4) U press the answer key
5) U can press the end key
Incredibly, all 5 options are simultaneously active. The screen can be locked by S2U2 etc. but I cannot find any option of locking the hardware keys.
Any help will be appreciated
Firstly thanks for Omnia i8000 support on XDA..
Now I feel secure..
Secondly even I'll lyk to disable my hardware keys for call ans/end..
is there a registry tweak or something we can do to disable it..
s2u2 has that option... go settings/phone and u have S2A Hard ans/end key...
Search 542482 - there's an app for that over in the Mobile Apps & Games forum
Solution found!!!!
The issue was really troubling me and I finally found a solution. Install a small program called Incall lock which locks the call & end key. But that will totally disable u from accepting calls under WM6.1. So install s2u2 and enable screen response and voila!! U have. Both these are available elsewhere in this lovely forum.
Note:- The whole process during inplementation is quite messy as u will first have to install .net compact & samsung SDK software (both freely available).
4 software to do a simple thing which should have been taken care of by the OS. That's life under our billy, the goat.
Hope this help. I would be glad to give something back to this site, i have greatly benefited from.
TouchLockPro works great.
(I can't post a link yet...search for it in the Omnia 2 section at Modaco).

I tried tpro but it did not work for me. I am using wm6.1 under samsung touchwiz. Cud it b because of that ?
TouchLockPro is the answer, however, if both touch screen and the keys are locked on all in-coming calls, how the hell do you answer the phone? First to unlock it then answer it? A bit troublesome.

See, even if no software was there u wud have to press a key or tap something to answer anyway. With S2U2 and incall lock, the only point of access is the slider (in my case) with which i can either accept or reject calls. So if i swipe to ans, the lock opens and i can straight away start talking. So there really is no extra step involved. Whereas, if I do not lock the key, I will have to be careful not to press the keys accidentally which is difficult as I often put it in my pocket and more so inside the pouch. I think the swipe to answer is the killer option.

Slide to Answer is great option to traditional Click to Answer, that is very true, however, that option has been adopted in 6.5 and some 3rd parties phone app as well, so if in i8000 case, the phone interface can be omitted and use the 6.5 or simply use those better and more feature phone apps

Well, as I said I hv 6.1 & 6.5 not yet available in my country. so...
Hi,
I installed Throttle Lock.. Nice lock... it has slide to answer..
secondly it does not interfere with the touch player, lyk s2u2 does..
Are you using Omnia II with WM6.1 ?
Because throttle lock is not saving the settings on my phone. And yes, I am clicking the "ok" button at the top right and getting a message "changes saved". And my slide to answer is ON but no slide is displayed. All I can see is the default lock screen which opens when I click on a button on screen but that certainly does not solve my problem. Using ver .07 (latest).
I have even registered myself. Hell, the config.xml file shows Calllock is on but its not even locking when the call comes. That should be the very basic default function. Sorry, back to s2u2.
I am using WinMo 6.1 original Rom...
I installed it on Storage memory.. and its workign fine.. It does interfere with the Samsund dialer when the call comes in... but I will try disabling the samsung dialer and check... back to your issue.. Try re-installing it.. and it should work.. iam able to save all my settings..
And when the call comes in My hardware keys are lock as well and I get option to Slide to Answer or reject..

Thanks. I unistalled S2u2 and installed again. Still no. Yet the program was working when I clicked on it. So, luckily having some working knowledge of windows, I found that the program is not putting a link in the start menu or start up folder. This I had to do manually. But thats unclean.
And what happens when a call comes is funny. There is a brief fight between the throttle default , the windows splash & the lock screen itself. Luckily, the lock screen is winning every time. But again unclean or is it the links I have placed.
Currenly, I have links to both thottlelock & throttlelockdemon in the startup & lockdemon in the start menu. How is it with u?
Also in the setting under samsung default setup, the options like lock mode & incoming are white on white. What are your current settings ?
Think this program was designed for HTC. But is definitly smaller and though not neat...working. Thanks
I have mapped it to a hardware key, so when I want to lock I press the hardware key..

Use incall lock for locking the keys when call comes. Works perfectly.
Tried the throttlelock for 2 days. Sometimes, the default wm screen was coming up and the look is messy. So more experiements......but till date s2u2+incall lock looks the cleanest. Will keep looking...

I'm using TouchLockPro. It's much faster and less memory consuming than S2U2 and it has multiple ways to unlock your phone!
In the newest version, you can unlock your phone by using the proximity sensor (and our Omnia II has one )
So if your phone wakes up in your pocket our pouch, it won't unlock, but if it wakes up in your hand or on your desk, it will unlock immediately!
Consequently, if you have an incoming call and the phone is in your pocket: It will remain locked until it's out of your pocket so you don't have to manually unlock before answering
I love it!

I hv omnia 2 with wm6.1. Tried touchlockpro and was absolutely useless. How is it possible ?
Can u plz put in the download link.. Iam sure its somewhere on XDA itself, but I am kinda lazy to search today.... I'll download it once I reach home..
When switching the phone from ring to vibrate using the manual switch on top of the phone, isn't there supposed to be a short vibration as feedback to let you know the phone is silenced? When I switch from ring to vibrate, I get no vibration feedback, but everything else works correctly (meaning that the ringer and sounds really are silenced and switched to vibrate-only mode).
None of the Treos I've had in the past have had this problem of the "vanishing feedback" when switching to vibrate.
Does anyone know if there is a setting or a registry hack to re-enable this feature?
It is very convenient to be able to reach in my pocket and switch the phone to vibrate and to receive a short vibration to let me know I got the switch in the right position. Thanks in advance for your help!
You should try getting into Start menu >Settings>Sounds & notifications, and then notifications !
There should be a check box where you select to enable or disable the feature
Fyi
I have a similar issue...
I'm using 6.5 23549 RealVGA Updated from imzkng in ppcGeeks with the 'no windows/ok/X button' tweak and sometimes in start menu when a push 'lock' (or anything in the bottom bar) the Treo give-me a vibrate-feedback, ok I like it! but 95% of the time it just does nothing...
I bought a LG Cookie for my girlfriend and I LOVED the feedback and would like to put in my Treo... does anyone know how?
well, I found a program that rumble the way I want...
TouchResponse
U can config it to rumble when U touch and when your finger leave the screen... and other things...
well, i have the same problem with my custom wm 6.5 rom... as for the screen, touch response is a great addition (then i know when stuff freezes too )
I had a good look around before posting this thread, so if it's a duplicate, apologies.
I flashed the stock 3.14 ROM for Vodafone HD2 and I'm pretty happy with it, except the phone screen doesn't work properly. Everything else seems to be ok, and I like the extra buttons the new ROM provides on the phone screen, but when I make a call, the screen freezes so I can't use the keypad or the end call button. Is there a fix for this please?
Thanks in advance, as always!
A
maybe bsb
There is a setting in bsb tweaks that caused this on my phone...was "tap time" i think...took a ton of searching there is so much here on this great site...anyway i had to turn that setting off, and it fixed it instantly...before that nothing on the touch screen during a call would work...i think tap time was it, if it wasnt that it was one of the other settings in BSB...good luck
edit--from what i understand it is just a registry tweak, to prevent accidental clicking on links....it could be the current registry value you have set if you dont have bsb installed.
Just tried the BSB fix - it works, thanks!!!
Same here. I am sure glad that I found this thread!
I have noticed the onscreen end call button not working for a couple of weeks. As the other poster, inconvenient, but not a disaster, as I could use the physical end button to end the call. I wondered though, if something was wrong with my touch screen?
Then today, while on a call where you hae to choose from the damn menus, I pressed the onscreen keypad button, and nothing happened. I could not figure out any alternative way to open the keypad, so I could not complete the call.
When I got home, I first tried a Google web search, could not find an answer. But a search on XDA brought me here. Great to find this thread. Unchecked that option in BSB, rebooted, made a call, the keypad and end button work.
Now the question is--has anyone notified the folks who make BSB Tweaks, about this problem. If it is a problem that occurs with many phones, they should perhaps remove that option. If it is only a problem with HD2, and others find the option useful, there should be a warning that pops up, about problems with that option on the HD2.
It should probably be in the thread about BSB Tweaks as well, to warn HD2 users from checking that option. Has that been done already?
Sorry to be such a novice but what is BSB?

BsB Tweaks is a tweak app for Windows Mobile as is Touch Tools. Touch Tools is more spacific to the HD2 though. Go to HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 themes & apps forum and do a search for them, you will be glad uou did.
