Just change the keyboard setting in advanced config or under HTC Custome if you have it, select Cingular for ATT & Cignular or you lang if dif. I think this is like the 100th time this has been asked. Doesn't anyone use search?
Thanks Scrambler001, i am glad someone asked it, i am a newbie i tried a search, before asking but you was kind enough to still answer that other person. I have to sneak around work to use the cpu really so i never have a chance to actually sit and read. Thanks again, fixed...
i checked in the advanced config app, the only choice for keyboard layout is "english", still the same results. I dont have any HTC Customize apps or settings on my device either.

Well then just install HTC Custome if you need to. I thought all the options were available in Schaps rom though you might need to scroll up or down to find the Cingular one if thats what your looking for. Thats what I did when I installed his ROM.

This always works for me. Hope it helps.
I"m just wondering, did no one bother to look in the Schapp's 4.0 thread. I think it was asked about four times in there

You bet I even posted the answer there a few times already but the starter of this thread probably didn't go through the whole thread or search using a good key word like "keyboard" or some such. I think the total is more than 4 though and if you count the number of times it's been asked out of the thread well I run out of fingers and toes so go figure. LOL
Hey all,
in WM6 there is (on some roms) a slim "sidebar" next to the contact list with A-Z on it.
It helps you navigate quickly. Does anyone know how to activate it? A friend of mine had it but accidentally disabled it, now we cant figure out how to enable it again.
If you do not know what i am talking about, you can see it on this picture (second row, second column):

Thanks a lot.
PS: I tried the search but its kind of hard to find if you dont know what its called.

To disactivate the old "letter-bar" at the top of the screen you have to click: Menu-->Options-->unflag first option...

nice hint...works now!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
However, my Random Access bar only works 70% of the time. The rest of the time only a simple scroll bar appears.
It seems to work more often if I launch Contacts then fully exit and re-launch Contacts a second time. Wierd.
Anyone else experience this?
i installed this, but the vertical alpha list bar does not work.
i do not even see the app under program window. do i need to invoke this?
how do i make this work??
i was just wondering if there was anyway to change the key combo to unlock the keyboard, maybe a reg edit or some application.
I wish there were. I hate the combination they picked... I always miss that stupid "star" key. I think it could be possible by altering the keymap file, but then it would mess up the star key and move it somewhere else. heh
Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question as well, but so far no luck. I had a thread going in regards to this with a couple attempts at work-arounds if you'd like to have a look:

What star key??
the *Z to lock the phone? it works on mine. If thats what your referring to.
kinda curious now... what key would you prefer? they all look the same cept the space bar...

In my personal case, I would like any key other than the current *Z key, as my *Z key barely works anymore making the unlock process extremely tedious
how old is the phone? Maybe it wold be best off to get a replacement from your provider. Just a thought.

I got mine in October of '07, but it wasn't through my provider (eBay). It worked fine and the malfunction of the *Z key is my fault (puddle ).
I would personally prefer the left softkey (like it is now), followed by a press of the second softkey... or even the spacebar
i was thinking the left softkey followed by the right softkey or maybe the left softkey in combination with the talk key or vice versa

But if there were keyholes everywhere, you'd still wish it.
Well don't say it's not gonna happen.... A developer could easily write a new app to do this. A keyhole in your roof is not impossible to do, it just takes money

yes. any developer who could code this what be greatly appreciated and will please a lot of people.
I got an idea.. let's ask Technology. I mean, if he was able to write his super bluray, megavision, imax, 3d, etc codecs from scratch, this should be a walk in the park for him!

Take a look to Automatic Keylock by maniac.
1. Disable 'Automatic keylock' option
2. Enable 'Screen saver' option
3. Setup all timeouts...
Now you can unlock your phone by left softkey or home button
That's some great software and I installed it on my phoen in a heartbeat. But how did you get it to unlock using the Home key or ANY other key ? There's nothing like that in the app's settings or in their forums...
I see how it works now. You don't use the phone's keylock routine... you let the screensaver come on and then it's unlockable by using the left softkey (or any key you want) or the home key. There's a problem with that though... It only requires ONE keypress. It would be way too easy for it unlock in my pocket that way. We really need a combination of two keys, that can be customized.
Hey all,
Asking for help AGAIN!!!
I installed the windows mobile 6.5 update yesterday evening.
All in all i think it's fantastic, still falls behind some OS's but its a great update.
I have a couple of questions thought, and i'm hoping that someone can help.
the first one, i hope is just me not seing something.
on the start screen (after hitting the windows key) i think the new display is great, but i can find a way to move them about and personalise it so the prograns i want are where i want them. how do i do this?
the second is a little more complicated i think. I recently bought g-alarm(which i love) but to register it, you need an owner name on the phone's system.
I cant findwhere to change the owner name on WM6.5, i can change the device name easy. but i cant find the owner name anywhere.
any enlightenment would be great.
Thanks guys
TM411
I assume you mean the honeycomb start menu. In order to change them or move them around you need to tap and hold on the icons.
To set owner name is Start/settings/personal/owner information
Press and Hold the icons to move them.
Try this CAB to enable the owner info, just install and reset.
Is there a way to add/remove Icons from the start menu?
Thanks Guys
I did try the hold and move, but the only option i get is to move to top.
is this right?
the owner information button isn't in the personal setings section.
Hmmmm
what have HTCdone?
i downloaded the official upgrade from the site, surely they didnt remove important things from it?
thanks for the cab,
i shall try it later
Saying that.....
I wouldn't mind knowing if i can delete stuff from the start screen.
Not sure i need the "Getting started"
lol

Try the CAB. The fact that it's missing is a bug . See the main "Official 6.5" thread in ROM Dev.

You can drag stuff about the start menu by pressing and holding, removing stuff and adding folders is the same a Windows PC. use File Explorer to goto \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

No you can't. Well, at least I can't - press and hold and the only thing you can do is "Move to top".
Dave, thanks for that. I didn't realise it was quite as simple.
The icons also move about as they should with a press and hold.
Cheers

You sort of can. Here's what you need to do.
1. Go into the "\windows\start menu\programs" directory.
2. Create a folder. Cut & Paste all the shortcuts you deem unnecessary into that folder.
3. Go into the properties screen of that folder and toggle on the "Hidden" setting.
4. Soft-reset.
I've yet to find out how I can get rid of "HTC Calendar.lnk" and "HTC People.lnk". They disappear if I disable HTC Sense (ie, TF3D, Manila, etc). But they keep coming back if HTC Sense is enabled. I've tried deleting the shortcuts but they just regenerate after each soft-reset or if I disable and then re-enable HTC Sense.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
You guys are awesome
The cab worked a treat.
The start menu i shall play with later.
Thank for the help

Same for me. Sometimes I get an additional choice of 'Move Down' !! What's happening? Mine is the ATT Tilt2 4 days old . . .
I am also curious how some people are able to hold and drag. It was my understanding from reading various WM6.5 reviews that it is not possible.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I recommend JWMD Icon Changer for reordering the start menu. It has worked well for me. One thing to keep in mind though: it will not reorder any icons you've marked as "Favorite" which means when you right click and select Move To Top. If you want to be able to sort them, you'll have to un-favorite them by selecting Move Down.

just edit the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner\Hide" to 0. It'll show up in the settings screen again.

There is nothing about this in the full manual so it's most probably not possible unless it's hidden.
I swear i saw it in some vid I even remember which screen the guy moved
it was the right-bottom empty screen, he hold it and started to move it around!!! i know its nothing, but its so annoying, ..its one of those things that you have seen and want to remember wheree and when
anyone managed to do it? .. I still think that i was NOT dreaming when i saw that vid that i cant find

This poster seems to think they can do it:

You probably saw it on a vid of the N1 running Desire ROM.
I believe there was a mod on that ROM which allowed you to move homescreens around from leap.
It can be done but you have to move it peice by piece. Each widget can be moved so what i was reffering to is say the bookmark page can be moved to another screen.
You cannot change the order of the screens as far as I know, no previous android phone has had this ability and nobody Outside this thread has even suggested you can. I think some people may have confused the "helicopter View" that allows you to display all screens and jump directly to any screen with the ability to rearrange them.
yeah im reffering to being able to move any widgets. could start from blank and re-arrange it to how ever you want.
You can do this but only on the Desire ROM ported to the N1. paulobrien, the developer behind the Desire port, already told us that this "long press a homescreen and swap it around" trick isn't available on actual Desires.
He's getting a Desire, though, so when/if the Desire is rooted I'm sure you guys will get this feature ported too. Kind of ironic, no?

Yep! You simply press and hold the screen you want to change and drag it to the remove bin at the bottom of the screen. You then replace it by clicking the "+" button bottom right of home screen, and choose from the list of widgets. I put on HTC calendar and photo album as two of my 7 screens. It is SO EASY to use this phone!
I don't think you understand. He means the ability to move around each homescreen, widgets/shortcuts and all, without needing to delete widgets/shortcuts and putting new ones on. You're thinking about long-pressing a widget or shortcut, not long-pressing a screen.
What's being discussed is quite different. It's like this:
