coupla n00b Q's: mute inc call? Cut 'n Paste? - HTC Excalibur

How do I mute an incoming call? (without Ignoring the call, 'cuz then they will know they were ignored when they get bumped to VM).
How do I Cut and Paste?
Thanks.

1. volume strip
2. not possible without a third party app.

great thanks.
I find it kinda strange that WM doesn't enable such a basic function. I can cut and paste on my NON-smartphones no problem at all, and yet can't with my PDA phone.

Use ViTO CopyPaste - it's free and pretty OK.
Note that it'll only copy / paste from text input fields, NOT from anywhere on the screen.

Great thanks, I'll give that a try.
Just curious: why was this moved? Isn't asking how to mute a call on the Excalibur, Excalibur specific? I mean I am sure it is different on the Excalibur than it is on other phones (without a volume strip).

haha, I thought you were wrong, because when I was swiping the strip nothing was happening...
Until I realized you meant to double click it, then it worked.

I am using ViTO and I really like it. It is so simple to use, however I often have need of copying from other areas of the screen (mainly webpages) is there another app that allows this that anyone recommends?

Doesn't work with WM6. In fact, none of the copy/paste apps work with wm6

I'm running VitoCopyPaste in WM5 and WM6, and it is working, in HTC Tornado, to mute incoming call, I press the volume up/down button, try that on Excallibur

Funny, it didn't work in the T-Mobile WM6 ROM i think. Other users noted it as well.

On my WM6 Vox, CopyPaste works great. Not sure about the WM6 version of the Excalibur, though.

Address-autocompletion in WM6

Hi Folks!
Has anyone managed to get the To-Field autocomplete functionality in WM6 back to how it worked under WM5? Under WM5 it checked the name I typed into the To-Field against the Addressbook in "realtime" - under WM6 I now have to go into the Menu and select "Check Names".

I don't find anything negative in "Geek" and I would define myself as such but since I definitely did not mean to offend anyone and since It's sure that at least one person did take it that way I've changed my posting.
Lol, ok ok
My autocomplete seems to work fine on WM6. I start typing the name and i get a list automatically pop up so i can just click it. I get this for SMS and email. MMS unfortunately i still have to click to and then add names manually but then i had to do that with WM5 anyway.
Didn't really get offended, just having one of those days mate, sorry

That's strange - for me it does not. Have you installed an extended ROM? Because I haven't and thats the only difference I can think of.

No problem mate! But still I will not call anyone Geek anymore since it's apparently not for everyone as positive as for me.
Nope, only cabs i've installed from an ext rom are the ones that get video calling working.
Pretty sure that it was working before then though......
With WMXL v.20 coming soon (no doubt you'll be upgrading) you may want to try a hard reset or perhaps a reflash to see if your problem persists.

Cingular Push To Talk on Windows Mobile 6.0

Apologize beforehand for the n00bness. This is my first post and I'll try and keep it clean. I've been trying to get push to talk working but for the life of me, it's no go. Originally the plan was for me to try to get it working with Custel's Windows Mobile Black Cingular Edition, but I can't figure out how to get it from the regular Cingular edition to Custel's GREAT cooked version. The way's i've tried are as such:
Taking out everything from the Extended Rom and identifying the PTT *registry?* cab and installing it.
Going into the Device\Windows\PTT and the Device\Windows\ Folder and copying all the necessary files
Nothing seems to be working. On another note, I can't seem to get VoiceBuffer to copy over. Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys! And the march continues~
Even if we can get PTT working, would we only be able to use it with other cingular customers? Or people with other carriers also?

Only cingular customers.
If you search you will find your answer as to why it does not work. If it was that easy it would have been functional a long time ago.
Hey Custel!
Thanks for Cingular Black!
Yea i'm still trying to search and figure everything all out. I feel technologically retarded right now.

No problem, going to have cingular version based off of my rom tomorrow some time as well .
If it has PTT I'll love you. The Cingular Black Edition you put out is almost PERFECT for me, except the whole PTT thing, it's driving me mad!
So I have been searching for two days and I can't find the PTT install cab. Where is it, I just did a WM6 ROM and I would like to use PTT as I use it for work. Anyone able to help

yes...
YOU CANNOT USE PTT ON WM6!!
as it requires editing the rilgsm and ril.dll's that control the radio interface layer (RIL) for PTT to work...
Well...... um that was nice of you. Thats all anyone needed to say. Thanks for the subtle answer

the ril's from wm5 work on wm6... the app will also run on wm6... there is just one slight problem... no one can get the PTT button to work... however there may be a solution soon, the cing/att Kaiser rom that was posted by incognitho is wm6 and has PTT.. people are working on porting that over to hermes, if all else fails i keep hearing that att will have a wm6 rom for hermes in july (i dont think it will be for the public, but i could be wrong)
Quite honestly, PTT would be nice but not necessary for me. I currently have an LG 400 on my business plan (6 phones) and well...I don't need it on my 8525 right now, except to stop carrying 2 phones with me.

Faster dialer and comm manager

Im currently running CRC's rom 13 which I love. Im not to keen on the dialer tho. for one I have a 8525 so the video button is useless. and dialing numbers seems really slow. Like I press the number and then a sec later in responds. Is there away to go to a normal dialer?
Also when I push the comm button it takes a few seconds for it to come up. Any way to fix this?
Thanks in advanced
ugly stock dialer and comm manager are pretty snappy, Just very UGLY

Is your phonepad sound enabled? If so, disabling it will improve keypad response.

Does that actually mean that this dialer does not support 3G net or just that the dialer is unable to do video calls?
Ill give it a try later...

2 Side Voice Recording on Excalibur **WORKS**

A little introduction:
On the Excalibur\Dash we have always been able to use Voice recording software but never been able to hear properly "very quiet" the person on the other side when listening to the recording.
The answer is a simple reg found by nick_martin to which mskip has .cab'd up for users.
Original thread & .cab: 2 Side Voice Recording on Kaiser **WORKS**
Just instal .cab reboot phone use with any voice recorder
I have tested this on RoseRom with VITO AudioNotes 1.32, will test with Kavana but if someone beatz me to it then post result.

PSShutXP Power Button

hi!
I've installed PSShutXP and it works like a charm!
I was wondering how I can change the Power Button settings to assign PSShutXP to Power Button!
Registry? Tweak?
Thanks
I don't know if this would work on the TP2, but for the kaiser, you just go to psshutxp's folder (in program files if it's installed to your device) and copy the .exe, then go to the windows folder and make a shortcut and name it short_power or long_power depending on if you want it for just a short press or a long, delayed press. let me know if this works, I'd like to be able to still do this when I get my TP2
now working!

You can find an updated PSshutXP cab file that replaces the LongPowerButton press here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475762
Hi, i just looked at the homepage of psshutxp, however i fail to see what additional benefits i get from this program? Anything that this program does seems to be already built into the preinstalled software. Am i missing something here?
