I've been asking around on the MoDaCo forum to see if anyone has found a potential "fix" for the fade in on sound. I was hoping someone around on these forums may know of a way to get rid of the fade-in, or shorten it perhaps. not being an expert in how the audio stack on android devices work, I don't know if it would be as simple as changing a hidden settings file, or if it's at driver/kernel level.
ยป Post on MoDaCo in case anyone's interested...
Its most annoying, as by the time the fade-in has occurred, the notification tone may have finished, so you don't hear it. I hope it can be corrected by someone at some point...
Hi,
You're absolutely right. I was used to symbian calendar notifications, that were SOOOO PERSISTENT: no way to pass unnoticed
Now i hear the sms or calendar sounds 1 out of 5 times.
For the rest, i love this phone.
Bye

Hello everyone,
There is a WM feature that really bugs me: After canceling an incoming call (eg, by pressing the "red" button), that call is reported as missed.
Besides causing a missed call notification (Isn't that stupid? I know that I didn't answer that call!!!) entries are added in the missed calls list so, when in a later time you check the list, you have to remember which calls were actually canceled by you, since that entries seem just like the "real" missed ones.
So, I wonder, does anybody know a way to "fix" this and make it behave more like the Nokia devices(there, the canceled calls are reported as incoming, but with zero duration)?
thanx,
hypest
Hi,
Even with TAPI or RIL, "how" the call was dropped is not available, which means the only way to do this is to replace the system dialer with a custom dialer
Not aware of any replacement that handles this though!
This has always drove me nuts. I brought this up on Howard Forums and got nowhere. No idea if some of the geniuses could fix this or not but I am sure it bugs a ton of people.
I would love to have this fixed as well. It's never made sense to me.
It's comforting (to me) to see that other users as well, find this "feature" useless/annoying/stupid. I'm afraid that a custom dialer would probably work (a one that monitors, for example, the hardware keys to detect call cancellation) but would be a hack for sure.
M$+HTC are certainly not inclined to satisfy such feature/bug corrections (and backport them to existing devices), so again, I rest my hopes to an open source OS to enable the community (and adventurous individuals) to implement/correct such things!
Not a useful post, I know... but I had to let it steam out a bit
I don't know if anybody else has this problem with their diamond... but I was sitting at my desk the other day, with my diamond on the desk in it's case.
Then i heard voices, I thought I was going mad at first but I think I've found a small design flaw with the case that's provided... There's a piece of elasticated fabric inside the case which stops the phone from dropping out the other end. This was pressing on my screen exactly in the right place to answer a call. I didn't touch it and the phone was screen-up in it's case on my desk.
The question has been posed before, "How can I disable the incoming call notification on the screen?". And so far, as far as I can tell, it's not been answered. So here I am, determined to do something about it.
If anybody has any ideas regarding this... including in the development of some software to solve the problem, please post them here. I am a software developer myself and I intend to write an application to solve this problem and share it with you all.
My initial ideas are:
Find the notification/message/service responsible for popping up the Incoming Call window
or... Subclass the Incoming Call window when it appears to disable the answer button
er... that's about it so far actually.
So guys any help would be great
Regards
John

I don't know if you are looking for that I'm thinking of, but search the Forum for
[APP][Oct 11th, 2008] Answerkeys Disabler (v0.5.1)
I think that is what you are looking for!
Works fine on my device (MDA Compact IV) with original ROM.
And of course touchlockpro...
Are you telling me I spent all that time writing this thread and there's already an application.... ..... .. . .... damn.
Thanks for the reply though guys, I'll check those out.
I apologise for starting what is, in many ways, an 'I'm a noob, help me!' thread but I have put some effort into researching each of these topics but I'm still left with questions, so I thought I'd just lay everything out there and see if anyone can help me.
Firstly, sometimes when I start to write a text message, the first character disappears. It shows on-screen for maybe half a second, then it's as if I've hit backspace and it gets deleted.
It's really odd, it only happens from time-to-time and so far I've not been able to discern any sort of pattern to this behaviour - it doesn't seem to be specific to certain contacts, nor does it seem to matter whether it's a new text or a reply that I'm writing. It's just completely random.
I've searched on this forum, checked HTC's hotfixes and kept an eye out on other fora I frequent that have anything to do with the Touch HD but so far I haven't seen anything about this.
Secondly, I've been trying to find a calender application that will allow me to enter 'rules'.
Basically, the hours I work depend on the day of the week but I work different days week-to-week. So what I was hoping for was to be able to program in a 'rule' that defines what constitutes 'work', depending on which day of the week it is and have it so that an alarm or multiple alarms go off a set period before the time I start work each day (to wake me up). Anyway, by having this pre-set rule, I was hoping that when a new rota becomes available at work, I would just be able to mark which days I was working and the calendar would automatically work out the hours etc.
I'm not sure if this is something most calendar apps are capable of or if it's a feature that just doesn't exist but so far my attempts to search for this have been fruitless, though maybe that's down to my choice of keywords or something...
In third place, what is, in all probability a fairly common question about syncing text/SMS messages to your PC. I have looked into this, I swear but there seems to be a lot of contradictory information out there, not to mention when I search the site, I seem to end up reading a lot of threads that are 2, 3 or even 5 years old.
This might sound a little sad but this plave is one of few fora where I can have a question and when I look or ask for an answer, I feel completely lost. So I suppose what I'm hoping for is for someone to come along, take me by the metaphorical hand and show me the solution suitable for half-blind, retarded chimpanzees, as I might just about be able to follow that...
Last up, I was wondering if anyone was aware of any Shoogle-like programs for the HD.
I've come across 'VibraNotify' by way of this thread, which I will be testing out soon but in case it doesn't quite do what I want, if there's anything similar out there that anyone's aware of, I'd appreciate the heads-up.
I really am sorry to waste people's time with questions like these.
I wish I could find all the necessary answers myself but, as I say, for some of them I can't seem to find any information and for others, I've found far too much.
I will be extremely grateful towards anyone who takes pity on me and is able to help out in any way, no matter how small.
Thanks.
Addressing your second question.
I am a long time user of Pocket Informant currently in version 8 and available for purchase or download a time limited trial at http://www.pocketinformant.com/
You can set up different "work" times for each day of the week.

for the first point of your question, I also had some problems too with keyboard input so that maybe sometimes I wanted to type m and it actually pressed a (not exactly a common typo!)
I noticed that after a screen calibration problems were solved
start/settings/system/screen/Align screen button
hope it helps
alternatively, I can confirm that with Davideuck's v-5 and dutty's xtreme v1.9 ROMs I have never had typing problems

don't feel too bad, these are pretty advanced topics that i have not seen covered here
Regarding point 3;
as far as i know you can't sync SMS, tho you can back it up with PIM Backup
there is also MyPhone currently Beta
just a quick question for anyone willing, how do i prevent the text message alert from continuing to play after i've opened the message? to stop the alert i have to go into the alert config and press stop in the preview section
i dont really want to shorten the song, as it runs the risk of me not hearing it, so is it possible to make it stop when i activate the phone?
cheers, daniel
bump...i'd really love some help with this, its one of the only things bugging me at the moment...
ive looked through the wiki and done a fair bit of searching, but nothing so far, is there a tweak in the registry or...?
Hi all,
Just have a few questions with a few things that have been bugging me in the last few days.
Firstly, the email program - I need to make the text smaller for when I type. I've looked, but can't see any setting to do so. it seems silly to have such large text when typing on the big screen,. Any way I can change this? Also, in previews, I'm seeing text like "&# 8217" instead of the apostrophe. Any idea what could be causing that?
Secondly, when altering a contacts details, I find my phone slows down drastically after, necessitating a reset. Is this a general bug, or just something on my phone?
Thanks for any help that may come...
