How to activate TouchFlo?? HELP!!!

How do I activate TouchFlo ... or get it to work??
I press the comms button ( under the green button ) but when I swipe right to left or left to right nothing happens???
At the bottom of my Today I have Calendar and Contacts and I watched Tom's video on TouchFlo but cant get it working ... HELP!!
I think it works when I am in my programs and other menus but not from the Today screen??
Also 3D cubes thing ... how do i get it to work??

Press the button. Press it again. And again. If it is anything like my Orbit it will work eventually.
Seriously, it is very slow to start the first time, after it seems much quicker.

text entry options don't work with Touch HD (on Orange UK)

Hi all,
I apologise if this is not the right place to pose this question, but I just got a Touch HD on an Orange contract a couple of days ago, and I can't seem to be able to change the text entry method on my handset. It always stays as 'Phone Keypad', no matter which method I select, from the several methods listed: Block Recognizer, Compact QWERTY, Full QWERTY, Keyboard, etc. It's the same whether I try to make the selection by pressing the "OPTIONS" button on the phone keypad, or whether I go through Start->Settings->Input
All the software/hardware configuration on my handset is exactly as it was when I received it from Orange, so far I haven't even installed a single new program.
Any help? TIA

Hi.
Can't offer any advice as such, but can tell you that I got my HD from Orange just over a week ago, and I can change the keyboard without any problems.
I originally had a Touch Diamond, so I knew how I wanted it set up. I just brought up the menu from the keyboard at the bottom of the screen when it first popped up and did it from there.
Sorry I can't be any help, other than to tell you that you should be able to do it!
Good luck mate.

Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed Gyrator and everything started to work.

Hi,
I had the exact same problem but i wasnt too bothered but then I installed HD Tweak and Gyrator and everything started to work. I have no idea how it worked though.

I got this phone yesterday, and I too was confused as to how I selected the different input method. Then I worked it out
It must be a bug with their firmware. You have to HOLD DOWN the centre button, keep your finger pressed and slide it up the screen to select the preferred input method. I think I did this when I was in the Compose SMS screen.
Since then, mine's stayed as I selected it - on Full QWERTY.
Hope this helps!

Same happened with mine. If you click on the options then you cant change it, however if you click on the box in the middle of the screen at the bottom, you can change them.. Bizarre!

Thanks for the replies and suggestions, guys. I've got it working for me too: by pressing the 4x4 grid-like icon at the bottom centre of the screen to bring up the keyboard, and then pressing the small upward-pointing arrowhead that brings up keyboard options. I guess that's what ultrazonixe probably means... although I couldn't get it work by sliding my finger upwards off the centre button as langauld suggested (except if incidently I did it from the arrowhead icon).
Thanks for the help!

Yes this is quite tricky till you get the idea.
Press the bottom middle button (icon of keypad) to get the keypad up, if its not already up.
Then the bottom icon changes and adds a small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon. (nothing to do with the four arrows just below the keypad)
you have to press this small up arrow just to the right of the keypad icon and a menu pops labled "touch input settings".
its not the same one that comes up when you press the options tab which does not work.
Press the right choice eg full qwerty or whatever, and hey presto the keypad changes instantly.

same here
Yes I could change it .. via selecting the arrow next to the mini keyboard on the bottom ... but it used to reset it self every time I starsted the phone...
Now I have TouchPal.. I have never looked back.

Htc touch diamond doing strange, please help !

Hi Lads,
My HTC touch diamond is doing strange, one day I woke up and suddenly it gave me a Red,Green,Blue,White screen. As I understood it's called bootlloader or something like that.
I tried reset+volumebutton after that it is starting normal and Ive got my phone back, but if I turn my phone back off its gaving me the terrible Red, Green, Blue, White screen back.
Ive tried to do a hard reset ( reset button + volume + round button) but then I have to press the volume button again to accept, but it isnt doing anything then.
Ive looked for some solutions but everything is chinese for me.
I just want my phone back to normal and I hope I dont have to loose all my files.
Can anyone help ?
I posted this in the question thread but some guy told me to post here.
Some other guy told me to reinstall my ROm but I have NO CLUE at all what I should do and what ROM is.
I didn't thought it would be such a big problem because I can still start my phone, it just gives me that ****ing Red, Green, Blue White screen and it says : serial at the bottom if I press Reset + volume down it starts as normal, but if I start it again I got that screen back.
Can anyone help me, sorry if there is already a solution be discussed on this forum, I didn't found it.
Please note that I am a dummie at this point.
Thanks

after you get a hardspl " see in athachament " , remove the batery Then put the batery, after that press the Power button + volume down and you enter the boot loader menu, after that install ROM of your choice
Good Luck, Marius.

I just updated my ROM I guess ? or what is it ... I pressed update and now I got SPL-1.40.OliNex.
But I still get the screen, can anyone tell me which rom I should install now and where I can find it ?
I want the standard ROM back like I bought my diamond.
EDIT ive installed ROM that I downloaded at the HTC website an update. Ive installed it but it is still not fixed when I star my phone I still get bootloader.
Back to the ROM then : if I start it it get struck when I have to Line out my stylus or how do you call it in english, it keeps asking again it always starts again.
CAN ANYONE HELP ^^? I am despered

Must be a solution ....

I had the same problem before, my Htc Diamond always goes into bootloader mode, the problem is that the volume down button is stuck from the tack button itself not the outside part of the button, on my diamond there was moisture in between the tack button contacts, all I had to do was replaced the button and everything works as it were brand new.

Should I buy new ones and where can I buy it ? How should U put thhem in.
I pulled out the old buttons, let it rest and after a few hours I put them back but its still the same :S. How have you fixed it ?

The button that I was talking about is inside the the outer physical button, its a tiny circular tack button you have to disassemble the other half of the Diamond to get into it and do some soldering on the button's board but don't do this yet.
I suggest try to do a soft reset on the phone, then as soon as you release the reset button hold down the volume up key to see if it boots into winmo " that's what I was doing to my diamond before just to get into winmo and not on boot loader or the tri color", if your phone boots into winmo without any problem while pressing the volume up key then its definitely the volume down button is having problems. and also before, does your diamond most of the time gets a little bit warm to the touch? even for a short phone calls? that was the first symptoms i had on my diamond before the actual key is messin' up
the tack button i got from another phone with the same size of button and had to solder it on the volume assy. pcb.
your problem is not a software issue but a hardware Malfunction. (majority of the people here are experts on software but I myself is the opposite)

Are you talking about the 3-dot menu? Or the softkeys actually underneath the screen, I didn't understand what you was getting at, I'm sorry, your English isn't very clear.
If you can take and upload screenshots I'll try to help you.
Screenshots: Press and hold your power button down and then press the homekey.
