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

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
Hello,
I've been struggling with my keyboard settings since I got my Touch HD. At first, it was a complete QWERTY keyboard. I wanted to change it to a normal keyboard, like on a regular cellphone. I didn't know how to do this. But suddenly, without knowing what the hell I was doing, I accidentally got the keyboard to change. But now my problem is... Well, you know the layout is as such:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7 8 9
Shift 0 Symbol
...I have two problems with this. The first is: I can't type any letters, even if I hold the keys down, so basically, I can't text message to anyone. The second problem is that I have no idea how to change it back. If you could just tell me how to change keyboards, AND how to make the regular cellphone keyboard layout WORK (I have chubby fingers), I'd be really, really grateful.
Thank you for your time.
EDIT:
Oh. I see. How irritating. How am I supposed to know that there are actually two buttons in the center button? Oh well. This still doesn't change my ABC / Numeric problem.
Hi Alfa Jez
Assuming that you have not tweaked your phone in anyway.
There are two ways to change the keyboard settings on your phone.
First, is to go to Settings and within settings your Windows menu option (press window flag top left hand corner of the screen, settings is the second from bottom menu item) and then it gives the option of "Input" showing a keyboard and from there it gives you the option to set your "Input Method" as well as other options on word completion etc.
Secondly, you should be able to change the input settings directly from the middle bottom of your screen once your virtual keyboard has been activated. There is a little up arrow which if you press should give you the option of "Touch Input Settings".
Hope this helps. This information is in the manual.
Best wishes
Kaid
Thank you for taking the time to reply, but I'm afraid this doesn't help me. What you've told me so far, I already know.
Although, I have tweaked my phone with HD Tweak. But no big changes at all.
What does your keyboard look like right now?
Are you stuck on a number-only pad or symbols-only pad or do you see letters on the keys?
Here are some pictures. Tell us which one is the one you have right now.
You should be able to switch through these pads via Sym, 123, ABC keys in the different keypads. You also see that the symbols keypad has 13 different pads to scroll through and it can be "locked" (lock key). That causes it to stay there after pressing different keys. When unlocked, it automatically goes to the normal letters/numbers pad after you have entered one symbol.
Well, my problem is that, even though I have the one with the letters, (of course, it's needed to type letters) I can only type numbers. If you see my problem. I can see the letters and the number, but it seems only to want to use the numbers. Even if I hold the keys down, no letters appear.
Hmm, if you what you have is the second picture above and yet you can only type numbers, then I don't really know what to do. On that screen I only get the numbers if I tap and hold for a second. A quick tap gets me the letters.
Maybe someone else might know what is wrong there.
Did this start recently or have you always had that problem on your HD? Or did it start after you installed a certain program or made some kind of registry change?

I suppose you turned on T9 in HD tweak? If so, turn it off, then soft reset. This problem is being brought up on an almost daily basis.......

Did turn it on, yes. But I read other people having the same problem, and they were also told to turn off T9, so I tried that as well. Haven't tried soft resetting, though. (Soft resetting = Turn off, and back on, right? ) Will do!
EDIT:
After soft resetting, it worked! Thanks to both of you, I'm jumpin' up and down as we speak. ^^
Glad it worked. Just a word of caution: as you don´t seem too familiar with windows mobile (soft reset is one of the most used word/actions as it´s still windows...) just be careful when using different kinds of tweaks (HD tweak, advanced config) or modifying the registry directly. Don´t just change/turn on/off something because it sounds good. If you don´t know what you are doing it can mess up your device real bad......
Been there, done that......
I'll be cautious, and try to control my curiosity. ^^
Are you still jumping up and down? Or has the excitement worn off?
I'm glad it works now.
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

I also had the issue that the keyboard was only inputting numbers - disabled T9 in HD Tweaks - reset then all ok.

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
I left my phone unlocked and it set the keyboard to korean while inside my pocket. I can't switch to any other keyboard: swype, android, standard, etc. Holding the gear icon on the lower left just displays the korean keyboard settings but shows no place to change the keyboard.
Try starting phone in safe mode and uninstall it ...or uninstall whichever keyboard you have got it stuck in korean
go into settings, locale and text and select a keyboard from there....

going into locale & text just takes you into the settings for each keyboard, or enable/disable keyboards from being selected. the keyboard selection should be when you hold the option button on the keyboard. when you do this while the korean keyboard is loaded, it takes you to the korean kb settings, instead of a popup that lets you select other keyboards like android, swype, etc.
i appreciate the replies. i've tried everything and it seems that once you switch to the korean keyboard, there's no going back... unless i'm missing something

Just long press in the writing area when you're typing something and then the selection menu pops up!! Then you can switch your keyboard. Hope it helps
Hi there, when I first got my phone during setup and being a total novice with touch screens I managed to set the phone up to an Indian/Asian language. I fiddled around for ages and couldn't do anything.
My solution... take out battery and sim, try another sim so the phone has to register that one and gives you the language in its attempt to set it up. Get the little bugger back to English and stick your other sim back in. It worked for me so I hope maybe it helps for you too.
Edit
If that doesn't work how about find the settings picture (assume they are the same) then Locale and Text is 11th tab down and select locale is the first tab on the next screen. Just had a google translate on English into Korean so you can try and pick up the right language....'yeong-eo' is the translation or '영어'

Yes, but you changed the whole language. He just has to chage the keyboard, his language is correct.
To change keyboards try my solution above. It worked for me when i was getting mad with chinese Keboard to get back to standard.
I thought he had tried changing the input method and keyboard but that hadn't worked. Thought it might need forcing back to English or something. My apologies if I misunderstood.
As another thought how about downloadiing Jonasl's HTC_IME keyboard from this site and seeing if you can get that to force its way into action over the korean one when you run the app from your file manager?
Thanks for the replies. holding on the input area did the trick. I was used to holding the option button on the standard button but this eems to be an alternate method. I'm a total idiot lol. Normally this would've been something i'd figure out on my own. Thanks guys. guess i still need to get used to the OS.
