I know there are a few threads similar to this, but most of them quickly get off topic and are not all that useful. I was thinking about having everyone post what fixes and add ons for people have, and their overall experiences with each. Then we can have a single source to see which dialers work best, if any of the so called fixes actually work... all without searching 10 forums on 15 different sites.
Heres mine
Sprint Mogul
Pocket CM 0.15
jpl4 touch dialer
xda-developers power bar
the 8 button comm manager
spb mobile shell today add on
sms text sent notification disabled
I have noticed that my mogul is slower... especially when changing to landscape to use the keyboard, but i feel like this is pocket cm... please make additions... i think i am not the only one sick of looking through at least 5 different forums
I did away with PocketCM as it has some lag when opening. I switched over to iContacts and love it. Loads fast, does what I need which is to find contacts one handedly and when i hit OK or the top right X it closes it out completely. PocketCM stays open and running which can slow device down.
i meant to mention, right now i can't get redial to work properly with my dial pad... i have to go to call history and hit the hard dial button. Other dialers have worked, but i like the setup of this dial pad best... not sure if i'll change back to the mogul big button or not.

if you do that you will also disable your vibrate function. There is a cab file that will stop the notice.
Here's one:

so i changed back over to the "mogul big button dialer" which i don't like the looks of as much, but it works perfectly.
Also 2 days ago I installed the task manager 2.0 I found over at the hermes forum... suddenly my battery doesn't need to be recharged!! More like I unplugged it yesterday morning and a full 25 hours later it said 80% charged this am... maybe just a fluke. Anyone else get better battery with this addon? (Task_Manager_2_0_30487_2.cab)

Oops, sorry! I was referring to the wrong thing! If you disable the light, you disable your vibrate function! Sorry for th confusion!
I like the concept
I've been looking for a thread like this for a while. If I could make a suggestion, could you please list or attach the freeware files along with your posts. I'm having to do just as much searching to find out what a certain program does and download location as before.
I got rid of PocketCM... way too slow for me.
I'm running:
PIEPlus
10 button CommManager
WkTask
SPB Mobile Shell, Phone Suite, and Backup
Arcsoft MMS
dcd's touch dialer
Disabled SMS Sent Notification
Plus a bunch of other irrelevant stuff.
I notice lag sometimes when I go to send a text message and pop out the keyboard. Seems to have some lag going to landscape, and lag opening up the new text message window. Other than that it's fine for the most part.
I've used the following registry tweaks and gotten dramatically better battery life:
http://www.sprintusers.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127164&highlight=registry
A couple of us have tested this and found a nice increase in battery life. On my Treo 700 it seemed to do nothing but on the Q it greatly helped (I ran for 12 hours yesterday push email in a low signal environment and stayed at 4 bars battery--normally would have been at 2 or 3)

(Again, use at your own risk -- I disclaim any liability -- except to say I've tried the above and it works well for me with no apparent downside).
On memory use, I found that people have tried removing the HTC_CM_Guardian and dddaemon from the \Windows\StartUp folder. I personally moved them to a "save" folder so I can restore them if I run into problems. One of them loads the voice dialer function and the other prevents certain changes to the system --- both appear to be memory hogs. I don't use voice dialer (I think even without this program the voice dialer will loan on demand anyway). Removing these two has improved my memory usage.
I use tMan as a task manager --- very handy and fast to close and manage running processes. Also very lightweight and easy to use.
Another REALLY useful tweak, the FlashVideoBundle along with the TCPMP player --- enables full screen YouTube videos launched from PIE. Is not compatible with the Flash plug in however, you can only have one or the other installed. See here for details:

Thanks ! it is great
l tried so many apps for automatic changing of profiles with no success! This is the only one that works with weekly profile management!wll done! Only two suggestions-issues: a.make a tool to change the .hml file faster and easy b.sometimes when changing profile there is a notification error don't know why!
I tried CommManagerPro and woah! That was a complicated app! It had too many functions for me to figure out what to do and normally I'm the tech whiz. I think the dev tried to do too many things with one app >.> It ended up bad. It will take time to set that up. This is an easy to setup app that is fine for my needs Now I just need to find the one that supported tower ids.
I have edited the config.xml file and have it in my profile timer folder..
I can launch profile timer and see the schedule, but how do I keep the program running?
I see schedule.exe and have clicked it, and it turn my vibrate on, etc.
So I assume that the scheduler.exe file has to be in the startup
folder in order for the profiletimer program to start up
and run after reset? To manually start it, it looks like you just
need to run the scheduler.exe.
Am i correct about where put the scheduler.exe to run the program
and start the sched?
cj
(also, in the config.xml, what happens if you want a schedule
to go from 7am-12pm (ringer off), then 12pm-5 (ringer on)
do you have to input 7:01-12:00, then start the next one at 12:01-17:00?
or can you put in 12:00-17:00 (didnt know if the program would
accept the overlap from 12:00 or if it needed 12:01.
I assume that if you dont put anything in for 12:00-17:00 then the
program will run the Default setup and turn the ringer on , etc..
does that mean from 12:00-12:01 it would default to the default
of the phone as setup in config.xml?

Some more notes to clarify;
1. Extract ALL the files to the SAME folder on your device
2. Edit the config.xml to your timing requirements
3. Run ProfileTimer.exe
4. *DONT* run scheduler.exe diretcly (main app calls it as a console app)
5. If you want it to run after Soft-reset put a shortcut in Startup folder
6. The icons are (left to right):
a. Ringer on - Green shield
b. Vibrate - Amber shield
c. Red - silent
d. Sunglasses dude - light off
7. The program - like most other WM apps runs in the bacground (just hit your normal ok button to 'minimise' it
8. If you want to actually shut the app there is a Kill PT menu item
9. Volume setting is WIP, it should set ringer volume but I am still playign with this!
With regards to schedules with overlapping days, to be hones give it a go - as per my original post, I havent actually tried that. if it doesnt work, just split the schedule in to its seperate days so to speak.

and sorry for slow reply, notification thread setting was wrong!

This is what I was looking for, but I have some problems:
the profile changes to vibrate but it dosen't go back to normal!!
Here the config file:
Code:
<dayProfile day="Wednesday">
<session activate="09:00" deactivate="09:02" vibrate="on" ring="off" volume="0" />
</dayProfile>
The default settings are:
Code:
<default vibrate="on" ring="on" volume="3" />
Tnx!
This is great, and so simple
Just a question,
what happens after the "deactivation" will the default be selected?
(what TheMorpheus is mentioning)
also look at my screen shot, there is something wrong with the calculation,
the phone should be burning a hole in my pocket by now ;-)
could it be you forgot a comma? (I think this is also valid for the voltage)
Lat question, the volume, are they points or steps?
e.g. in the FMOD lib you can set the volume to 255 (full) is that the same case here or is 5 the highest?
(1 = 20%, 2 = 40%, .. > 5 = 100% )
thanks
Great and simple application
Great and simple application.
Here is some functions make it more perfect.
Can it have some exception on some calendar events?
Such as mobile should have exception ring/vibration when I'm on Holiday or Public holiday.
Also, if it can execute some commands, it can provide more flexibility.
I changed the code:
Code:
<dayProfile day="Wednesday">
<session activate="08:00" vibrate="on" ring="off" volume="0" />
<session deactivate="12:10"/>
<session activate="14:00" vibrate="on" ring="off" volume="0" />
<session deactivate="18:10"/>
</dayProfile>
Now it seems working!!
If I want it to run after Soft-reset, what shortcut do I have to put in startup folder?

Hi,
It's not working because you have the default vibrate="on", therefore, once your session finishes, it is setting it to vibrate not ring!!

You have added tags ( <session deactivate="18:10"/> ) which the app has no awareness of and will (at best) be ignored, and possibly confuse it. I advise you remove them! I assume its now working as you amended the default tag to make sense? (see my previous post).
Regards auto-start, put a shortcut to the ProfileTimer.exe and that will do what you want....
cheers

thanks for your feedback.
re the temp and voltage, they are the *battery* levels, not the device! that is the reported internal temp of battery and the voltage (in milliamps as per symbol). hth.
the volume setting is still WIP, I will do some more research and get back to you!
cheers,

On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me
There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?
thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after
Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
ah, excellent, thanks
just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.
I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)
I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?
Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!
Awesome! Thanks!

I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?
lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second
someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?

What are you looking for? Are you tryting to navigate to the registry through file explorer? If so, you need a reg editor to do that...

Hey guys,
Is there anyway to disable a toggle button and make it "greyed out"? I could just make it invisible but I think it would make more sense to the user if they could see that the button was not available rather than just having it disappear. I figured this would be pretty standard but I don't see it anywhere. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Samuel Maskell
What's the purpose of the button?
You could just leave it there and not process based on code in the Listener.
Yeah, I was thinking of just making it display a toast message or something
but it would really be nice if I could change the appearance of the button
maybe I can play around with changing the background a bit..
Why not just setEnabled(false); ?
so I tried just using setBackgroundColor(Color.DKGRAY) but that failed miserably..
I can use getBackground() to get a Drawable object
so I should be able to take that object and make it darker
and then use setBackgroundDrawable, right?
I'm just not too sure how to go about making that drawable darker..

Didn't see your post last time. I am using setEnabled(false), but this does not change the appearance of the button. How are users supposed to know that the button is disabled? They'll just press it and think that the application froze or something because nothing will happen. If I could make the button darker and disable it, I think people would get the idea that it is disabled and not just broken.
Thanks,
Sam
apparently the background isn't what I want to change. Not sure what I should be doing exactly..
have you tried toggle.setColorFilter(0xAARRGGBB, Mode.SRC_ATOP); ?
you'd need to find the correct #AARRGGBB code for a greyish color, but it should work.
EDIT: Ok, so after playing around with the settings a bit I found that this works pretty nicely for greying something out toggle.setColorFilter(0xA6A6A6A6, Mode.SRC_ATOP);
ToggleButton doesn't seem to have a setColorFilter() class
did you do toggle.getBackground.setColorFilter() or something like that?
Actually, I was using setColorFilter on an ImageButton, that's probably why... sorry

Are you doing some custom painting or something weird? I've not tried this with a toggle button specifically, but other controls like check boxes and regular buttons show a grayed-out appearance when I've used this method.
EDIT: sorry, double post
alright, that was stupid..
for some reason I was using setClickable instead of setEnabled
I think I accidentally clicked in eclipse's autocomplete menu..
setEnabled(false) works perfectly
thank you so much

Yeah you're right, I just tried it out in one of my apps and the whole button faded out and is see-through
The correct way to do what youre doing is to make an xml file for your buttons:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE selector>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_enabled="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/bar_gray_disabled" />
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/bar_gray_clicked" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/bar_gray" />
<item
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/bar_gray" />
</selector>
You can pretty much just copy and paste that into an xml file and put it in your drawable folder.
If you create "myCustomButton.xml", then you'll set your buttons background to be "@drawable/myCustomButton"
To make this work you need to also get the 3 drawables for your different button states:
Normal (Mine is called bar_gray
Clicked (Mine is called bar_gray_clicked)
Disabled (Mine is called bar_gray_disabled)
Android will handle the switching of the images as you click the button or when you do setEnabled(false)
Down and dirty, like you said before:
Toast.makeText(this, "Button disabled", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
Is there any way to disable the send window when the user enters text to an EditText in landscape orientation in my app? I mean this:
View attachment 2101779
It is quite annoying because the user cannot see the app anymore. I searched and played around with setInputType but didn't find anything that worked and I don't want to disable landscape orientation totally.
Thanks in advance.
No ideas?
I thought maybe the WindowManager. LayoutParams.softInputMode could do the trick when set to one of the SOFT_INPUT_ADJUST... methods here.
Will this work or is it a totally wrong way or even not possible at all?
are you trying to hide the "senden" button, or the whole edit text window(everything between the keyboard and the status bar)?

Not sure if this is what you want but add the following line to your editbox XML:
Code:
android:imeOptions="flagNoExtractUi"
