Hi,
I managed to get hold of a MDA Compact 3 yesterday from my local T-Mobile shop. I have installed most of what I had on my JAMin (my micro SD card won't be here until Monday so no GPS stuff) and I am just testing everthing.
So far it has all been positive with my expectations being met. I even feel the Compact 3 runs a bit faster than the JAMin overall.
There is one small problem with closing programs instead of minimising them. I have tried this both with the X button program and with SBSH iLauncher Task Manager and got the same result.
Basically it all works fine when using the stylus on the screen or the mouse pointer. However, if you use the OK/close button it simply minimises the application not close it. This is different from the JAMin where the OK button did close apps.
Any ideas?
Regards
In SBSH iLauncher options, you must check option "X close Application" ON.
Hi,
Yeah, as I said I have this turned on, it works fine with stylus or mouse pointer it is ONLY when using the OK/CLOSE button that it minimises rather than closing.
Regards

Must have application for onehanders is a small utility called AE Button Plus at http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php. This allows you to map any number of system functions and applications to buttons (each button can acquire 3 more functions by double, triple and long press). For instance, I have mapped the mouse courser to a double click of a button. I have also mapped my ok button so that it really closes applications on a long press.
I know I sound like a sales rep but I am just a appreciative user.

I saw this on the MUST HAVE thread in this forum, good luck.
Thanks, but I don't really want to install another close program, that would make three!!

Hi,
I have just received my Qtek 9090 and I am very happy with it so far.
One thing I could not figure out yet is how to send an SMS with the keyboard without using the stylus? When I'm editing the SMS, I should be able to just press one key to send it and I can't find it.
Thanks for your help.
keyboard send message solution
Hi,
you can press "Lock/FN" key (lower left key) and then "Menu" (lower right key) and a menu appears. The you can use the navigational "joystik" to select "SEND" and the middle button on the joystick to select the option....
and there she goes......
okay, yes. On my system t seems that I can simply press "Menu" and then "Return". That's fine by me. Thanks.
Now another one Do you know a way to very quickly get in the SMS "Compose" window - without touching the screen?
Thanks,
François
Use the second softbutton above the call button to get into the messaging application. Press the navigation button to the side until you see Text Messages above the New menu. Hit the menu button on the keyboard. Use the navigation button and press "new"

Is there a program that lets you send ringtones and file attachments via sms like on the Nokia communicator series?
never heard about anybody being able to attach anything to sms's
are you sure that the nokia dont just sendt it as pop3 over grps ?
the communicators don't have gprs. I used to have 100's of ringtones on my 9210 and sms them to friends' nokia phones.
@t0flus : Great, thanks. I was mssing the side nav button thing !!!
So far, I'm very hapy with this device even if coming from HP 4150 I find it a bit heavy but I don't carry a phone anymore so, all in one, it is okay.
I guess the ultimate thing would be an SDA with Wifi
Other question : anyone of you leaving bluetooth always on ? Whith what impact on power consumption? I could not try yet because I did have the opportunity to try while staying close from power source during the day to cope with possible low on the batteries side...
Thanks.
Also, this we, I'll purchase a TomTom Nav 3 BT unit. I'll report here how the things go with the BT headset and GPS together.
I have been using JogButton for years and love the functionality it provides. I have just recently purchased the SX66 (HTC BlueAngel) and JogButton doesn't work. (It just holds on the first entry). Are there any more compatible programs available?
Thanks!
JogButton does work on the BA, I use it every day.
What do you mean by "Holds on the first entry" ?
For me, I set the button to the Left (Normally Start Menu) button on the d-pad.
Tap it once to start cycling, again to stop when item you want is listed.
At what point does this fail for you ?
Ok, I had it programmed to the Windows Media button. It would just hang on the first item and not scroll anymore. I just tried it on the contact button and it does indeed work.
What do you put in to replace the Start Menu command?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
I maybe wrong but so far I think I've nailed this down to task managers installed by either the rom developer or the user that normally aren't in the base rom.
Examples: spb mobile shell, spb plus, possibly even htc task manger.
reason: if you notice spb plus has a Red X option for closing applications when you tap the X, instead of minimizing them to the background. it also brings up a quick menu if you hold the stylus too long on a scroll bar and are scrolling a page slowly using the stylus. if you have this menu drop downwhenyou lift the stylus in that brief period that you do to put it back at the top to scroll further you may end up accidently taping the close application that shows on that menu. it can be triggered by other means on screen and maybe behind the problem.
I've had similar since I run both spb mobile shell and spb plus and have been too lazy to disable the task managers since the schaps rom I run now already has htc's task manager in it by default and is loaded on boot.
try disabling all task managers the show one the top task bar and that recognise screen gestures.
*thank god for full qwerty keyboard on this hermes as i've already done 2 posts today and were this an artimis i' be crazy or not post when I'm out and just relaxing in car in the morning due to artimis doesn't have a mechanical keyboard only onscreen hahaha*
i really miss hardware scroll buttons.
on the rhodium there are two little side buttons for adjusting the volume. i'd really like to repurpose these as scroll up/down. For example, to work inside a browser. Unfortunately, there is no standard option (i can find) to redefine the purpose of these buttons.
i'm hoping there's another way. eg registry hack etc.
thanks for any help,
Use AEBPlus
I am doing exactly the same thing with my Volume Up/Volume Down, I've turned them into arrow keys. The lack of these is my biggest annoyance with the TP2.
That said, I have noticed a little flakiness - most of the time they work fine, but sometimes I hit them and they don't scroll as I expect. Then a moment later they start working.
Anyway, it's much better than not having them re-assigned.
Incidentally, AEBPlus has a cool feature where you can tell it not to remap the Volume keys when you're on a call, so they can still be used then.
Thanks for the tip, i'll give it a go!
AEBPlus works? I'll try it. heard from another TP2 user that it caused his device to freeze up resulting in a hard reset...

Been OK for me so far
Yes, AEB Plus works (no hard reset), but I can only add the windows button. The <-- (back) button does not work when mapped using AEB Plus.
Also, if you're using the JBed Midlet manager, the arrow keys automatically scroll up and down. It works well with Opera Mini.
AEB plus does nothing for me... i just have a list of buttons I can't do anythign with, a giant memory leak and crashing.

Yeah there appears to be no way to open an entry from the list using touch alone - must be a bug.
Highlight one of the buttons in the list, flip out your keyboard and then press enter/return. It will open the Edit menu where you can assign that button to something.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! lol, I was wondering why people were talking so much about an app that does nothing
Did you guys install to main memory? I had no problems with AEB Plus on my 1.19.707.2 ROM.
I could assign the vol up/down keys and could also add the windows key. It is a bit tricky using the windows key as the first press brings up the programs tab.
I added the back key also, but couldn't get it to work. I didn't touch the send and end keys.
BTW, I used AEBPlus v2661

This all is my biggest concern upgrading from a Tilt.. I REALLY like hardware buttons, and make extensive use of AEButtonPLus as it is...

Press the entry in the list and keep holding for a few seconds more.
I've been using it since I had my touch hd and it works perfectly and I haven't found it to cause any issues.
Personally i assign one volume button to a task switcher (spb ms3 task manager) which makes multi-tasking far easier. You can then map double clicking to the original volume functions and even long hold to something else useful such as comm manager.
Awesome Tip. AEBplus Confirmed to be working fine on TP2 from T-Mobile (still stock rom for now). I made the volume buttons map to up and down like suggested but also made a long hold for volume up do "enter/activate" and a long hold for down do rotate the display.
my phone (telus rom) keeps getting screwed up when I install AEBplus and gets back to normal when I undo it.
I find it frustrating when I've been working in the keyboard that to accept it or close it down that I have to move up to the top right of the touch screen.
Is there a way to do it from the keyboard (my old mda 2 had its own ok button). Assuming not can code be written that does the job via the Fn key. Say Fn then X.
you can probably use rhodium keyboard controller and map something. everyone swears by that program but i never got it working. the att version has an ok button anyway.
Of course the hardware button on the front of the phone does "Ok" but if you want to specifically close, yes you need something else.. I still use AEButtonPlus myself for stuff like that, but the keyboard controller would likely be able to do it too.
"Rhodium keyboard controller" works excellent!
And yes, it is possible to remap so that a button works simililar to an "Ok"-button. I use the letter-symbol-button as "Ok". The Ok often works as closing the program ("x").
I haven´t found anything corresonding to "x" but haven´t really missed it either with the above solution. But it would be interesting to know it there i such a function.
Good luck!
