Thought this might be a good place to start listing any quick tips and tricks you might have discovered.
To Lock Device quickly
Keep finger on the Red (Call End) button and it will bring up some options including keylock.
Not sure if anyone's noticed this but when I end a call on my Dual there is annoying little delay of about 3 seconds before the actual call is ended so I searched the registry and found this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting]
And I changed the value of EndCallTime from 3000 to 1000 re-booted and voila no more delays when ending calls
Hold the on/off button for soft reset.
Smart Dialing
This is an advertised feature but apparently not too many people are aware of it. Go to the phone app and start tapping the first couple of letters of the contacts name and the name matches will appear for you to choose from. I find this much easier than opening up the Contacts app and scrolling down to the name you need.
after pressing send for phoneapp u see last calls.
If u press left/right on the highlighted contact the phone switches through home/mobile/office...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Biotouch\ regulates the FPS of the cubeanimation.
Change "DownFPS", "LightFPS" und "UpFPS" to something higher for a smoother (and faster) animation.
Disable 3G, if not needed (it drains the battery faster than GSM):
Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\OpMode and set it to "1"
Then also you could change that setting
Phone Settings --> Band --> Network Type --> GSM
To activate the changes, open the comm manager from the Cube, disable the phone and enable it again.
In italy with Vodafone I can't able to select also the Network Band GSM/UMTS to "GSM(900)" but I have to let it configured as "Auto" or "GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)"

Ello, new here.. no idea if this helps a few Dual owners but..
Apps found to work on the touch dual:
S2u2 (iphone slide to unlock app), works like a charm:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343256
HHC, HTC Home Customizer (name says it all), also working like a charm:
http://www.pocketemu.com/download4.html
gfreek, thnx for the EndCallTime key, works perfect and.. 1 less annoying feature to go
Things I'm still looking to solve:
1. Mp3 ringtone seems to fade out after picking up a call, for about 2/3 seconds the ringtone is still audible :S
2. Looking for settings for the Handsfree profile, i have an Lm959 bluetooth bracelet (how geeky, i know), works fine.. but only for calls, the device is capable of blinking the leds on receiving msgs, im looking for the settings to enable just that on the TD.
3. Polling frequency of the TD seems to be on the high side, f.e. it takes about 3 rings from someone before the TD starts "ringing", since voicemail kicks in @ ring 6 I miss a lot of calls.
I found a topic about just this problem with the touch(Elf) on sprint networks, with a quickcode (##7380# I think, well.. I'm not on sprint..so that doesnt work over here.. anyone with any clue would be welcome.. My current solution is disabling voicemail..)

to do this quicker go to settings => long press end key
and select automatically execute and then lock device
holding the red button then locks the device in one press
You can invoke s2u2 instead normal devicelock
just install s2u2, rename Slide2Unlock.exe to EndKey.exe and copy all files to windows directory, with resco explorer.
the ilock doesnt seem to be working on my touch dual. when i try to go to settings, the screen goes blank.
You need to disable directdraw, do it via the registry as you can't access the settings.

Is there a way to add the "3G setting" directly in the Comm Manager as seen here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354380 ?

Go with Total Commander to:
\\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager and change the key
"SupportedFunctions" from 4 to 5
then make a new map named "5" (without the quotes)
go to that map and make a STRING named "default" and the string must
be "3G" (also without any quotes).
Then turn the phone off and on again and there is a 3G setting in your CommManager. I did not manage yet to add a icon in front of it
(and also not tested the working of the new setting)
Thanks, someone also pointed me to Schaps' app that has that setting http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070

Another way ...
Go to ... Start > Settings > Phone > GSM/UMTS Band , Set Network to "GSM" & Leave GSM to "Auto".

that is driving me MAD at the moment. I'm missing almost all my calls.
Wish there was a way to change the amount of rings before voicemail kicks in.
please help someone!

ah found it, at least for UK Orange people:
Please bear in mind that the following code is only valid for phones on the Orange UK network.
The code to set the length of time your phone rings is:
**61*07973100123*11*??#
Where ?? is the time in seconds, e.g. to set the ring time to 30 seconds you would type the following code at the standby screen then press the green send button:
**61*07973100123*11*30#
To make your phone ring for only 10 seconds:
**61*07973100123*11*10#
The code works in 5 second intervals, i.e. you can set 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 & 30 seconds.

I recently installed the 15-tabs CAB.
But i'm not getting , the weather , internet and another tab. Atleast i'm not seeing them.
I am able to set them off with a config tool. Like advance config 3.3 or Diamand config 0.75
But they arent showing on screen. Anybody got any idea whats up ?
Thanks
what are you getting?
and in what order?
Im getting in this order
Home, Contacts , Messages , Camera , Music , Configs , Programs , Sound , Call history and Comm Manager
So i'm still missing alot of tabs
what you should get (in this order) is:
Home
weather
programs
messages
email
people
internet
camera
stock
music
settings
calendar
sound settings
call history
comm manager
no idea why you're not though
might be best to post yoou question on the main 15 tab thread - think only the 3 of us are reading this one!
when you organize them (set the order) and/or disable/enable some, you must use Diamand config 0.75 and not advance config 3.3. Just reupload the 15 tabs cab and then use diamond config and all should be well.
Good luck
yes use this cab adv diam config and you can select what tabs you want and dont want

Hi all, long time viewer, first time poster, so initially I would like to thank everyone on here for generating such a useful forum!
Onto my question. Mytouch hd answers automatically when you pick up the phone... more detail required proabbly, if it is resting on a flat surface ie a table and starts ringing it will answer the call when you pick the handset up. This is quite a neat function except for when you don't want to answer the call for whatever reason.
Does anyone have a solution to how i turn this off. I have used the search function, however sadly to no avail.
Thanks
M
Go to Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone
Then go to the "More" tab and uncheck the box under "Automatic Pickup"
one reason why ..
you phone is answering on auto...check following, if it is selected.( and untick if selected...).
go to ....start ....settings...select phone icon. ( about middle of page )...under personal tab ( this tab is at bottom of bar )...you will then see on next page at bottom of bar ....a few selections eg..phone, services, network,band,pin/pin2 ,time zones ,then a tab "more " ...select "more "( if you cannot see " more " you have to scroll on with arrows below )....check following settings...automatic pickup...then a check box with.... answer incoming calls without pressing ... etc..etc...
if this is not the case ,then check for ...
a third party software ..for eg. a "tweaking " program etc..installed on your phone ..that has been config to answer automatic...
good luck
Thanks guys, I had already checked this one out, and the box is not checked. I guess I will have to have a look on the pphone and try and find some third party software. THough I must admit I can't see naything on the programmes list, and I am not good enough to get into the config settings using file explorer... any suggestions??
Hi,
I encountered a problem the intensity of ringtone of an incoming call automatically weakened after the first ring.
Is there a fix for that?
Thanks.
My phone data
Rom ver :1.07.401.1 WWE
Rom date :21/03/2010
OS ver : 5.2.23103
Hi, I think it's the "pocket mode". If you lift the phone, the ringtone weakens automatically.
If so, to disable go to Settings, Tones and Display (3rd menu voice) and find the "pocket mode".

p.s. There is also a rom update ("Update for HTC HD mini Ringtone clarity enhancement"): http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=314&act=sd&cat=all
Hi Ciao,
Unfortunately this is not the case my phone setting is :
Ring type:RING
Quiet ring on pickup: OFF
Pocket mode: OFF
Does "Update for HTC HD mini Ringtone clarity enhancement" will fix this issue for sure ?
Thanks

Ciao ,
Thanks anyway for you replay.
I hope some one fixed that.
Anyone got it too ??
I have a suggestion...
I am assuming you are talking about going in htc sense settings tab.
Try also going to the sense settings tab -> More -> Personal -> Phone
At the advanced tab of this menu there is also a box to tick off if you want to disable soft ringtone at pickup.... Perhaps this one is still ticked on....
Maybe this helps...
Goodluck!!
Thanks JHTCHD but this is not the case.
I found that when the phone setting is:
Menu > Settings> Wireless controls > phone > band set to “Auto” - The problem did not appears.
Menu > Settings> Wireless controls > phone > band set to “GSM” - The problem appear.
Is there a way for the phone band to be on “GSM” mode and not have this problem?

1. it is store at my device/my documents
2.if u r using s2u2, it will show at the end of the conversation. But for only 1-2secs. If you want to check, you can go to Call History to see.
3.Rightfully, the device light sensor(beside the speaker) will automatically put the screen on off when u place ur ear against the phone. If not, u call press briefly once on the power button at the top to off ur screen.
4.Not sure. Mayb u can try manual network selection instead of auto (Phone settings > Network)
5.Not sure what you meant. But you can dismiss those notifications from the home page.
Hopefully it helps.
thanks for the replay buddy

2.unerstood ..im using this applicaion but it dosent show me that but never mind ..
