Long press end key & unified messaging center - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Instead of making 2 separate posts, i thought i'd put my 2 issues into a single post. I have a european TP2 running the stock rom.
1) I dont know at what point it happened, but my 'long press end key' icon in settings has disappeared. I have no idea what might have caused this, but it was there originally since i set the long press to terminate the data connection. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how i can get it back, or at least what registry keys that i can modify to select one of the 4 options?
2) I'm not sure if i'm using the right term, but i was wondering how i can disable the unified messaging center. I'm referring to the new text messaging interface that comes up when i click a message in TF3D that also includes the contact card, email, events and call history. I've looked through all of the forum posts but i havent been able to find a post regarding this. As bland as the MS threaded messaging interface is, i prefer it to what HTC has done, mainly because it shows more messages and that i can resize the bottom portion where i type.
Any help anyone could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

1) Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons > End Key
2) Still finding the solution

1) Settings>Personal>Buttons>End Key
2) I know it doesn't directly answer your question but from the TF3D I just press the "All Messages" soft button on the left to get to the MS inbox

Thank you for replying so quickly.
In Start > Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons, i dont have the end key as an option, the only button i have is the 'Send Key(Hold)'. After doing a lot of searching, i found the 'LongPressEndKeyApp.exe' file in the windows directory, and that brings up the menu like the icon in the setting's menu did before. I still think its strange that it's no longer under settings, but at least i found a solution.
As for my second question, thanks for the suggestion to click on 'All messages', but i still wish i could just click the message like in the Diamond/Pro. I'm just quibbling over a minor point, so its not a big deal. =P
Thanks for the responses.

"End Key" should be the 3rd tab once inside Buttons settings

Thanks for the visual aid Mesquire, turns out that i never had the long press end key in my settings, it was under 'buttons' the whole time. Well i feel dumb, but thats what i get for switching between by old TP and the TP2. lol

New theme.

I instaled a new theme for HTC Sense. Where can i change to it? Im a newbie at these things
settings>all settings>home>appearance
Can u take a screen shot? I don't understand 'all setings', i have PL ROM. Ive got Settings > and ex. screen settings, personal settings, voice, localisation, seciurity, date and time, regional settings, others and aplications
Just play with your phone a little bit and you'll know its features.
Select a page "Settings" its translated to uregulowania probably.
there is left soft button 'all settings' (maybe wszystkie uregulowania)
there you could find home icon and appearance icon.
Ehh, i can't do that, i can't fine "all settings" whatever it means. . Tell me, is it there where i can change the screen (and choose the font, wibration etc?) Uregulowania =/= settings. Settings = ustawienia, there ive got a folders like personalisation, localisation, aplications etc.
First, open settins tab,

Dialer Search like Vanilla Android

So...wife just got this phone and loves it except that the phone doesn't search all contacts when using the search function in the dialer. It only searches the contacts that were chosen to be displayed.
On vanilla android...the search will include all contacts including the ones that are not selected to be displayed.
Is there an option to get this working or is that the way Samsung wanted it?
She doesn't like Rocket Dialer...

on mine it will show all contacts, just have to select arrow down option that shows all available contacts within that number
Okay...I'll check again...
But, this is what I'm doing...
She has groups...she selects friends and family groups to be displayed. She is typing in the name of a business that she has under the group business...The phone says no contact found...even when pressing the search all contacts button.
But, I'll double check about the arrow when she gets home. Thanks.
Sent from my Transformer TF101
Nah...no such arrow. Seems that this phone doesn't search all contacts when you ask it to. Weird... why even put that option there if it's not going to work...since while you type...it's searching all contacts selected to be displayed.

In the attached screen shot is the arrow i'm referring to..I hit
2 and basically once I press it, it gives me every contract that name starts with a, b, and C.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Okay. No arrow for me. But I think maybe we're not on the same page...I probably wasn't very clear.
I have contact groups A, B, C. I only want to display A & B on the phone....so those are the only ones I have checked in the display option.
On Vanilla android dialer....if I'm searching for a contact on group C...I hit the search all contacts button (after the phone tells me that there is no such contact within the current group chosen to be displayed)...and it goes and searches through group C and finds that contact.
On this phone...when I do that...it does not search group C. It just searches group A & B only.
But, I'll check again tonight...because I am getting old......but, I'm pretty sure this phone's dialer doesn't do it.
Do you know if I can just extract the phone apk from vanilla and use that instead?

[Q] Bug? HTC Sense Input Keyboard arrow button gone!

Found this issue on my one X. The arrow/direction key seem to be gone from keyboard when using 3rd parties apps. (Whatsapp / Line / Facebook / Path / etc)
But it seem to be working fine on web browser, text message, google search widget and some other apps that came along with the phone.

Solutions I've tried
Setting > Apps > All > HTC Sense Input > Clear Data
*Yes it does help, but for only the very one first time after I came out from the apps and went back in they keyboard arrow/direction key is gone again.
Solution HTC support gave
Thank you for contacting HTC.
With reference to your query, we checked your attachment and inquiry, we would like provide following suggestions:
1. Power off your phone for 5 minutes and then resart your phone agian.
2. If the issue still persists, we would suggest you entre the safe mode to exclude some third parties' conflicts:
power off the device for one minute
Press " power button " to power on device until you see the htc logo
Then press and hold " Volume down key" until entering OS
" Safe Mode " text will appears on the lower left of screen.
Keep your phone in safe mode for one day and check whether the direction arrow atill keeps disappear. Thanks!
*But it is not doing any good

It's apps which aren't ICS-optimised yet. The on-screen menu button covers the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Be interesting to see what they say; whether it's intentional to not reduce screen area any further when both keyboard and menu button are displayed, or whether it's just badly designed.
Other keyboards with arrows (like SwiftKey) still display them along with the menu button (everything's just shifted a row up), so it's specific to HTC's keyboard design.

Microphone key for text messaging

Just got my Nexus 5x Thursday, love it except the one thing that will cause me to send it back on Monday if I can't figure this out.
In the default messaging app the microphone key is directly below the send key so every time I hit the microphone key with my fat fingers I hit the send key. I have yet to get the microphone to come up, the wife and kids can hit it just fine.
Question is can this microphone key be moved easily without having to buy some other keyboard app, rooting, or installing a custom ROM?
Navigate to the keyboard settings (from settings, or by holding the comma key then selecting Android Keyboard Settings (AOSP)) > Preferences ~ Voice input key.
Or use one of the many free keyboards. I sometimes use Swiftkey.

i don't think this is what OP is looking for, since this options just disables the button and doesn't move it. but it seems that this is the only option available influencing the button at all.
considering the 'send' button only shows up once there was an actual input and also not having any problems so far with my own big paws, the only suggestions i can make are:
-aiming lower on the button
-using voice input (only) from the start of the message
-try another app for a more intelligent positioning of the 'send' button (hangouts?)
-(temporarily) switching to voice-input as active keyboard

Thanks for the reply. That only removes the Mic key, doesn't give me the option to move they key to a different location (some place NOT by the send key). I have been trying the free keyboards but no luck so far.
Thanks again
