How to change menu when choosing number?

Hello Everbody,
my question is:
When you press the green button in order to choose number with the stylus, instantly a menu apperars trying to match the number you try to insert with numers already chosen or ones which can be found in contatc.
is it possible to turn of this option? As far as I know it is called auto filling or something like it.

It's called Smart Dialling. After you press the TALK button, goto options --> Smart Dialling Options --> Uncheck "Enable Smart Dialling"

Thanks!
it works

New Dual User Question

Hi All and Merry Yuletide greetings!
I have a HTC dual on Orange, owned for 3 days, having been an owner of a SE P990i previously.
The phone is very good, but I would like some help from more experienced users as to a couple of questions / points:
1) If you are using the Navigational Control / Enter and are more than one level down in a sub menu, I keep looking for a 'Back' key to bring you back one sub menu and then again etc until you go back to the main screen. I cant seem to achieve this unless I tap the top right hand side of the screen. (The cross)
2) I have several e-mail accounts set up, but they are not part of Outlook E-mail. They are just separate accounts which I have on virgin, Uk2, bt etc. On the P990i it was possible to with just one click, send / receive all e-mail accounts. I cant seem to acheive this with the dual. I have to go separately into each account and hot send/receive. I am aware that I can set it up to automatically check every so many minutes / hours, but I would prefer to be able to check all accounts by pressing one button. On the orange phone, they have the option of 'Checking Orange E-mail' on the home screen. This is what I would like, but 'Check all e-mail accounts'.
The phone is generally very good. A little top heavy if you are using it lying down and using the navigation control!

im not sure about the 2nd question, but doesnt the red phone down button bring you back to the main screen?

Thanks for your answer............
This is correct. However, getting back to the main screen is the not the objective, simply to move back one level.
For example:
If I go to Start/settings/today and I want to get back to the settings page I have to hit the top right hand side of the screen, the OK button.
It would be easier if there was a 'back button' or where you could assign a button to take on the job of you having to click the OK button at the top right of the screen.

oh i see. sorry i dont know the answer, i only got my dual recently ive not had much time to play.

well, i face the same problem as well... there is no "back" button...

re your q1.
well, there is no "back" concept in situations like your example of "Start > settings > today". it's windows mobile. you can imagine it as the desktop windows. you call control panel from start menu, then choose one item to customize. now you have multiple "windows" on your desktop. so, to uncover the back one, you need to click the "ok" (or "X") on top-right corner to close the topmost window.

Enabling easy highlight in HTC messaging

Hi, guys
Do you think it's possible to highlight easily in HTC messaging? Just like in Notes or something. For the life of me I can't figure out how to select the words I want! Thanks.

yea bit of a pain not being able to select.
i get around it by having swype installed (swype 2 from the omnia in my case), which has a select text feature as seen below. Hit 'select text' then use the arrows to select.
It also works for those screens that dont let you tap to select and copy, such as secondary phone numbers and email addresses when editing contact cards, and various system settings screens.

If you just touch in the text box and hold it a select option will pop up.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
oh yea, lol, id forgotten about that. D'oh hehe
@OP Press and hold, when the marker comes up, drag it roughly where you want it, then tap select, now drag start and end markers, then choose cut/copy/select all.
oh and you can enable the magnifier for that text selection too.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\TextSelection
set enablemagnifier to 1

The Text Selection tool only works for HTC messaging and for NOTHING ELSE. I hate that. That's a pretty nifty feature. Sad it doesn't work anywhere else... not even emails.

Speed Dialing Method?

Is there a way to make it so when I go to my "People" folder/widget/app (whatever it is) and then press on a person's name to have the phone automatically dial them instead of going into their information and having dial them from within the menu?

Yep press and hold on screen select shortcut the direct dial then the select the contact then the action for the contact the voila your all set direct dail from home screen
"evo you look good won't you back that nand up, damn that rom is fine won't you back that nand up, dude that's a sweet theme won't you back that nand up, what a cool lock screen won't you back that nand up"

I appreciate the instructions but they were confusing and I didn't understand most of what you just said (Android noob here).
What I discovered was:
People > find your contact > press and hold contact > when the action screen pops up, hit "Dial Mobile" (or whatever you have them listed as)
Is there a simpler way without the extra step of pressing and holding and then hitting "Dial"?

On your home screen push the add button on the right bottom then click shortcut then click direct dial select a contact then select the number to call for that contact then you can call them with a push of a button

[Q] How To Change The Browser's UserAgent in Taboonay?

Hi all,
I am using Taboonay v1.1 ROM on my Acer Iconia A500. And when I went to some websites,I found they were always in mobile mode. I think it's about the Browser's UserAgent.I have ever seen
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652984
and I have ever rework the file:
/data/data/com.android.browser/shared_prefs/com.android.browser_preferences.xml
but I think it doesn't work. (Maybe I did the above-mentioned step in wrong way)
Can you help me?
And I want to use HTML5 to watch videos. Can I use the Browser with the ROM to do this? Should I change my UserAgent to "IPad"?
P.S.: I'm a Chinese student. Maybe my English has some mistakes.Please accept my apology for the inconvenience this matter have give you.

1. Open the Android Honeycomb browser on your tablet.
2. In the address bar, type: about:debug and press enter.
3. Now open the browser's settings by tapping the icon in the very top-right corner of your screen (it looks like four horizontal lines) and selecting "Settings" from the drop-down menu that appears.
4. On the left side of the screen, tap the section labeled "Debug."
5. On the right side of the screen, tap the item labeled "UAString," then select "Desktop."
6. Press the back button (in the very bottom-left corner of your screen) to exit the browser's settings.
7. In the browser's address bar, type: about:debug once more; this will disable debugging mode and return the browser to its normal state.
Remember to thank me if I have helped you

Thanks for you very much.
It is work now!
