Hi, I usually slide open just to power on the phone.
So, I would like nothing to happen when I slide the phone open when on the today screen..
Does somebody have an idea how to do this?
Are you talking about the Keypad QuickTasks?
You can easily find the option on Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Keypad QuickTasks
Yes, I mean the dialpad quicktasks.
When this is disabled I get the dialer instead.
As a "workaround", you could just press the red "hangup" button after opening the phone to return to the home screen...

this annoys me too, i may write a small program that looks for the keyboard opened event, and minimises the phone program

That will be cool!
Oh.. I've been using a certain "Yet another lock app" v1.2 or something like that... and I always set mine to lock and suspend everytime I do a right to left sweep (via FTouchFo). And everytime I slide the keypad, it automatically unlocks and nothing comes up; no quicktasks nor phoneapp). I'm not kidding... I don't know if it's a good "side-effect", but that's how it works.
can you post a link or the cab?
I hate the search function!

I actually prefer this than any other locking app out there since this app uses the same built-in Device Lock program with a few nice modifications.
Enjoy!
Optional Alternative
I wrote a mortscript file to disable both menus
1. Extract
2. Place "Kill" folder in Program Files
3. Place run.mscr in startup
4. Reset
Enjoy
Simple fix for this
Hi there,
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.

Agreed Thanks fenallen
i've come accross a problem - a reset seems to wipe the settings and has reverted to showing the phone screen???
Well it seems to survive a soft reset as well as power cycles with the battery removed so I presume you mean a hard reset, in which case ... isn't that the point of a hard reset?
I would be amazed/worried if it wasn't set back to default by a hard reset.
nope, i am on about a soft reset! i'll try again to see if it keeps the settings this time
Im happy to say it works fine, after i made a soft reset.
power on/off
it´s posible to change the action of the power buton hardkey?
thanks
hi im having problem on my x1 whenever i try to use my keyboard now
even i didnt press the blue buttons i can type in numbers and i try many ways to get my keyboard to function poperly. does anyone has this problem?
and is there any solution?
help please anyone???
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP IM DYING TO FIND THE SOLUTION AS THIS IS VERY ANNOYING, I DO NOT WANT TO PERFORM HARD RESET ON IT EVEN AFTER I READ THE MENU IT SAYS NOTHING AOUT IT
Did the problem start after installing a particular application? Try uninstalling each application you've added from the most recent backwards, soft resetting inbetween each uninstallation in case something is causing a conflict.
As a last resort a hard reset* should sort the problem, assuming it's software related. Of course you'll need to reinstall any applications you've got on the phone, and back up any data you want to keep on the phone (I always forget to copy newly added numbers from the phone onto the sim before hard resets, unfortunately ).
*switch the phone off, then hold both silver buttons closest to the screen either side of the optical joystick and switch the phone on while holding the buttons. Keep them pressed until a white screen with blue writing appears. Now follow the onscreen instructions to reset your phone to it's factory default settings.
e: just noticed that you replied while I was writing this. no need to shout! It's an odd problem, and there's probably no one else who's had it, hence no replies. If the problem hasn't been solved after a soft reset, then more than likely a program that's been installed has either taken over a keyboard function, been configured incorrectly, or has overwritten a system file when installing. In which case, like I said, uninstall each program you've installed. If that doesn't work, I think you'll have to hard reset it.
e ii: does the "Fn" icon appear at the bottom of the screen, to the left of the middle, right next to the SIP icon?
I HAVE SOLVED IT BUT I HAVE NO IDEA WHY IT IS FIX
first i slide out my keyboard keep preesing the numbers on microsoft word then i go to dail pad and keep pressing the keyboard numbers then i close the keyboard and began to type with compact qwerty later i slide the keyboard out again and it works............... wtf?????????? is this some bug or what if anyone experience it please tell me. no idea what the hack is happen............ btw thanx anyone who helped me, at least now i dont need a hard reset. (i have been hard resetting my x1 more than 10 times within 3 weeks time................)

even the fn sign is not there it just straight away type out numbers, after a soft reset when slide out the keyboard instantly when i type it has numbers..... really weird....
That is very odd. I thought for a while that maybe the phone thinks it's in the dialpad, so I tried to see if the dialpad running in the background would cause the same thing in word, but mine seemed to be ok.

i think im the first xperia user to encounter this problem i just going mad keep pressing the button and think of related applications that relates both so dailer and microsoft word solve my problem. at first i encounter tthe keyboards button starts from opera mini when i try to type in my address and ended up with numbers
I have almost the same problem i have install TOUCH HD Keyboard and after that i couldn't make èòàù (italian) so after uninstalling that .cab all works well again but no more Virtual Keyboard
you probably have press the function key twice, such that it function-lock your keyboard, so all the keys that you hit will yield the numbers or whatever the function+key is supposed to yield.
just hit the function key again to unlock function lock.

At last no solution right?
Hi guys, i just installed a trial for Lingvsoft English>Farsi dictionary and the first thing i noticed was my keyboard had changed to something more stylus friend but not finger friendly.
I didn't take much notice to it thinking it was only for that program but noticed it was on every screen from SMS to Notes.
Even going to Settings>Input and changing Keyboard types doesn't work. It is on a setting called "Keyboard" and everytime i drop the menu and choose Full Qwerty and press Ok, it doesn't save and keeps the same setting over and over.
I have even uninstalled the program and soft resetted but it hasn't fixed it up.
I want to get back the original keyboard, please help me out.
try selecting something completely different, like block recogniser or transcriber or something and the restart the device. If it sticks choose try the compact qwerty and then restart. If that sticks too goto full qwert. If none of this works then it sounds like your qwerty has been replaced and you might need a hard-reset.
I couldn't change mine from the keyboard options under settings, it kept reverting back.
When you are in an sms press the little arrow next to the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen and change it there, it worked for me.

Legend! Thanks that fixed it
Fixed my problem too.
I also had the issue that the keyboard was only inputting numbers - disabled T9 in HD Tweaks - reset then all ok.
r
Andrew
how can I go in "HD Tweaks" ?
Had this issue once before, I did a wipe to fix it.
Dont have the option to do it now because there are too many apps installed.
The phone lost power and shutdown, after charging it and powering up I cannot open the keyboard when replying to a message in messaging.
I can't open it with a long press of the menu key, and if I hold the end call key I only get the option to shut down and not silent mode or airplane mode.
How to resolve this?
Thanks
OK now I realised I cant bring up my keyboard at all.
If I select a text box and select input methods there is nothing listed there.
The end call button does not lock my screen.
I am using the HTC keyboard from the HTC_IME pack, and the nk02's ION rom.
Worked fine when I had haykuro's ION rom and the google standard keyboard,
please help!!
/EDIT: i meant to say this has happened before on haykuro's ion rom and the default keyboard, so clearly isnt a rom or keyboard issue.
I backed everything up with "Backup for Root" app and did a wipe.
Restored the app settings and boom the problem returns.
There some setting or some app that is breaking this.
Have you tried to play with settings - locale & text - touch input - Keyboard types
try change to phone keypad, is this one showing? if yes then maybe when you change back to qwerty it start showing again?
good luck man
Hi all,
Just upgraded ROM to 1.48, but now I have lost the screen lock when you turn the device on! I dont want the phone doing random things in my pocket if a button is pressed..

Sorry mate - no answer for you, but a question.
I'm about to upgrade to 1.48. Does that get rid of the auto lock for everyone then, or is it maybe a problem that you're having and others aren't? It's actually something that would make me think twice about upgrading!

What do you mean you lost it ?? Just press the rightmost end button hard and you have a menu:
Power off
Lock Device
Set vibrate
Terminate Data Connection
This is default in rom [email protected]@@
You need to press & hold now. Before, you needed only to press it.
Let me get this straight...
If you press the end call button (just briefly) to put the phone in standby, when you press it again, do you get the lock screen??
Ahh that sucks, I want the old setup back. Any ideas?
I've just finished installing 1.48, and it works exactly the same as it previously did (for me).

Start reading from this page
Start, then press "Lock" appkey in bottom left corner.
After that all ok. End call button now locks the phone.
I've had the same problem. What was suggested by locking the screen from the Start menu did fix the problem. This has happened a couple of times since installing the 1.48 rom.
I also noticed that I was having a problem where I couldn't open e-mails from the touch flo interface. When I clicked on a message, it would just push down and come back up but not open the message in outlook. This problem was resolved when I fixed the lock screen....has anyone else experienced this as well?
just install BsB Tweaks 1.2 and enable this option!
btw. this is a very usefull option

I can confirm that this exact thing happened for me. I couldn't open an email, so I locked it from the start menu, unlocked it, and could immediately open the email.

I had the same issue and installing net3.5 or bsb did not fix it. I too pushed start then the soft key "lock" (in lower left corner of screen) and both my email and lock issue was fixed. BUT it came back two times today, I think it had to do when I installed a new program, not every time, but I fixed it the same way. This has to be a bug.

Yes this is an additional option. You can still press end button slightly ( or just lightly tap it ) and the screen will lock ( you will see the default "slide" on top ). This no need any tweak and is a default feature in the 1.48 rom

And, as I answered before. This isn't working for me.
I have to hold the end button, then select "Lock screen".
Before the upgrade in ROM, I could just tap the end button - now that no longer works. I have to hold it, then select "Lock Screen".

I think he means that when you press the end button the screen turns off. I know it's not actually locking the device, but the screen is off.
From my experience, the start menu lock resets something and allows the lock screen to work. This will work until the phone is restarted, which is when the problem is caused.
To fix this problem and get back the auto lock option....do the following:
with any registry editing software:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Control Panel
Keybd
DefaultKeyLock --------> change value to 1

Ok, sadly, the start, then lock workround isn't working for me. Just pressing the end key, turns off the screen, but doesn't lock it any longer. I'm trying to figure out how to get the .dll into the windows folder (as advised from the other thread). But I can't seem to do it. I can move the .dll file onto the handset, but then can't see it to move it to the windows folder. And I can't put it directly into the windows folder on the handset, as I can't see it from my desktop.
Activating "Auto Lock" from within BsB Tweaks seems to have sorted the issue for me
