hi there. i got a big problem with my phone. ive searched but i couldn find anything.
ok when i press the call button instead of starting the Phone it opens Contacts and Calendar
and when i press the end button opens Calendar.
i dont know what the hell happen. i just froze yesterday and i softreset it (usual stuff) and after that it just happen.
You probably tryied already to softrest it again.
Did you install any new software?
Have you checked the button assignment on options?
If all fails, hardreset :/
I went to Wiki for info but i just said press the two softkey and reset
May I ask which two softkey? the Call and End button or the two softkey next to it
The two buttons beside the red and green. Both buttons have small white lines on them.
Hope this helps.
take a look into the manual. there it's shown with a pic.
hi i have cracked the touch screen on my orbit the lcd screen still works fine but i locked the keys befor the accident is there any way i can unlock the phone other then the on screen controles? help please
can I make a short cut on home screen for rotating screen layout.
thanks
There should be one there already... in the bottom right of the screen, a little icon showing a PDA with a stick. (next to battery and Com Manager)
no i just got battery coms and o2 logo for closing running programs
oh rite, i've got the T-Mobile version. I would think there should be some software out there somewhere...
You can set a hardware button to do it: Start> Settings> Buttons> 1. Seleect Button 2. Assign to 'Rotate Screen'
Hope this helps!
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!
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hi all, when my TP2 is closed (keyboard) and I hit the start menu it appears as blank spaces unless I drag my finger from start menu to blank screen then everything appears again. Anybody come across this yet?
I have a T-Mo TP2...Thanks...Tj
PS I attached a pic.
Anyone have any ideas?
