Original 620 behavior question - HTC Excalibur

Hi,
Can someone with an unbranded Excalibur post what the default behavior is if you press and hold the action button. I am getting an invalid link error and I do not recall what this is suposed to do.
Using the last S620 WM5 rom.
Thanks in advance.

default behaviour is "nothing" on my O2 Cosmo.
Maybe you have run "Vito Copy&Paste" and removed the file?

Hmm, perhaps it is Vito C&P but it works fine when text boxes have the focus. When not such as when PIE is running the error is "Error Opening the shortcut or locating the traget filename"
Perhaps it is Vito causing the error ?!

I have the Rogers S621 running HTC's WM5 ROM ( S620 same as Canada's S621 )
mine goes to "profiles" selection when press & hold the action button.

Vito is causing the problem...
Thanks for the feedback

IE shortcut button

Anyone know the registry setting for the IE shortcut button on an S620? Sktools removed mine (said it was an invalid shortcut) and now everytime I press the IE button, it gives me an error saying the target application does not exist and locks up the phone (IE launches fine from within Start menu).
Thanks in advance...

\Windows\Short_IE.lnk is the file. If you look inside it, it says 36#"\windows\winwap.exe" by default.

Registry tweaks specific to WM6

I did a bunch of the reg tweaks while WM5 was loaded, and it all worked fine. Now Im finding several of them not working correctly, or values not being where I expected them to be. Are there any updated wikis or similar for the common registry tweaks for WM6?
Thanks guys!

why dont you post your tweaks your trying to use that way we can tell you if they are still relevant or not...
disable sms sent text and disable 3g startup animation are the two most annoying I can think of right now. I ran them thru registry yesterday but didnt seem to work. Thanks
Disable SMS Message Sent
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg=1
Disbale Startup Animation
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\StartupAnimation\Enabled=0
Work just fine for me.
odd, I just did it AGAIN and yet it must not be saving as I did soft reset and animation still went off. When I pull up in Total Comm it doesnt save the settings.. any ideas?
Just did a power cycle and seems to have held. Weird.
Ok but are there any new reg tweaks specific to WM6 in general? thanks guys
There is any registry tweak to get Windows Live messenger connect through Wi-fi instead trying to find GPRS or 3G connection?
That will be nice .
My sms message stored in simcard show in inbox (not shown in wm5) . i feel that the speed of opening the inbox is quite slow and may be caused by reading sim sms. Is it possible to hide sim sms just like hiding sim contact?
Many Thanks!!
what are the settings to make ALL your outlook mail as well as all your POP3 mail go to a Storage Card. not just the attachments, but the whole message.
thanks alot.

as most registry programs dont perform a Hive Flush after making the changes its necessary to perform a power cycle to save the changes...

Forgive me for my innocence, how can i perform a power cycle?
It's just that i want my font to be in the cleartype in the landscape view permanently. It keeps going back to the original non clear type font everytime i turn my phone off or soft reset. I keep on editing HKLM/System/GDI/CleartypeSetting/OffRotation/from 1 to 0

Ditto - which I don't normally clutter up the forum with; however, I want to stress: it did require a POWER cycle to get it to stick.
After that, works on WM6 just like it did on WM5

Keyboard mapping incorrect with vp3G's latest ROM?

I installed VP3G's latest ROM last night, and everything worked smoothly. However, today I ran across an annoying issue. I am not sure if this issue is from VP3G's ROM or anything else causing it. So let me give you a lowdown...
Device: AT&T 8525
ROM Version: Vp3G 3.62.3
Repro Steps:
1) Go to Compose a new email message and type into the message body
2) From the slider keyboard, hit the blue-key to insert symbols in the message (the symbols are represented on the keyboard with blue characters on top of the alphabets. Example, alphabet 'F' has a blue-key '?'. So if you active the blue-key button and press 'F', the symbol '?' should be inserted.)
3) Active the blue key and hit 'F'. Instead of '?', I see '-' (hyphen) inserted into my message! This happens with a few other keys too ('~' inserts '!', etc).
Does this repro with anyone else too? Can someone suggest me a way to fix this?
Thanks!

Use the cingular keyboard map. Use HTCustom v1.7 located http://bgjobconsult.110mb.com/cab/HTCustom1.7.cab install and use it to set your keyboard to cingular.

and a friendly advice: next time try the search feature of the forum before you write such a lengthy note. It will save you a lot of time.
Good advice about the searching or try the wiki.
The ROM customizations already contain the mapping corrections, so either you cancelled something or it didn't install properly. There is also a version of HTCustom included in the System Tools folder which can be used to set the keyboard, although it shouldn't be necessary.
Thanks guys... that fixed the problem.
Sorry for the inconvinience. I will ensure that I search and/or check the wiki next time.

I uninstalled HTCustom after installing your ROM... I think that must have caused it.

Ricky and Kavana roms - Opera mini giving authentication failed

Hi all,
I've done a search, but I cannot find a solution for my problem. I've been using Opera Mini a long time and I had no problems on my HTC Wizard. I've recently been using my Dash more, and I have used Ricky's ROMs and Kavana's. I finally tried to Synchronize Opera to get to my bookmarks, and I ALWAYS get the message that Authentication Failed (in either of their 6.1 ROMS). It appears that I can't login to any sites. The only other unusual behavior is that if I go to live.com I get some foreign language, as if though my regional settings are off (but I checked and they seem to be US English and other sites are fine). The key mappings appear to be right as the letters and numbers show up okay, but I cannot log in to any site. It appears as if it is some sort of forms or Java error, but I dunno, those are only guesses. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Can anyone else "Synchronize Opera" with these ROMs?

I may be wrong since I don't use live.com, but I thought it's normal to be in a foreign language? On opera mini, which version do you have, the unsigned or signed version? I'm assuming you have 4.1.
I don't know about live.com - I didn't notice it until after I had this problem, but searches have given evidence others have seen similar behavior. Anyway, the version is 4.1 as you guessed. I have, btw, determined it is an input issue of some sort but I cannot figure out why or what the long term fix is. By going to a form in Opera Mini and then holding down ALT+SPACE, a menu popped up which allowed me to switch from x9t or whatever to abc, and I was able to log in. It appears to not hold over a reboot, though.
The behavior is really, really strange. It acts like it has the wrong keyboard mapping in Opera mini, but switching back to mobile IE the keys all match properly.....

Text Message Compose Problem... Plz help me !!!

Hi all, and sorry for my bad English.
I've just bought a new HTC Excalibur S620. Everything's fine except one thing : I can't compose/read Text Message/ Email !
When I click Compose in Homescreen or create New Text Message in Messaging, compose screen appears with the word "To:" and a blue line in text area. I tried to choose a name in Contact but nothing happens, and I can't type anything ! When I received a text message, I click to read and a blank page appears, I click right soft key and it say : "The message cannot be signed and/or encrypted".
I use hard reset, after that everything's solved. Then I install "Auto Keylock (maniac Keylock)", the problem happens again. Hard reset again, avoid install that keylock app, but the text message compose stops working again after I setup GMail acc in Messaging !
So anyone knows how to solve this problem ??? Please help me !!! Thanks !!!
flash your phone to a newer rom. s620 are no longer being manufactured new so you probably have a refurbished which are notorious for crappy software. check out ookba's 3vo or NRG's rom running WM6.5
Yes I think it's the rom's problem, and I finally found out how to solved this problem. I hard reset my S620, after that, I run Messaging and compose, it worked. Then I use CeleTask to exclude the Messaging app, restart the phone... and the problem no longer happens again !
Thanks for replying me !!! ^^
Hey, It happened again ! But after read some topics in this forum, now I know what exactly the problem is ! It's because of I turned off ActiveX Control in IE Setting !
I just turn it on again, and after a reboot, my S620 works perfectly !!!
I love this forum!!! THANKS !!!!!!

Well i'm sure if you have any problems that this is the only place you'll find the answers you need to know. You should look at flashing to a WM6.5 rom, they're incredible and there are some great cooks here, but most importantly there are even more cool things being released every week for them that currently aren't being made for WM6.0 anymore.
