Hi all,
I've been searching a few hours here, i have not found any working solution for the following problems (occuring since i got a new PDA - Asus P750 running WM6.1) I was using before a P525 with WM5, and so i lost many things :
- how to get back the "Call history" button instead of "Dial" ? I want to get the full call history, and not mixed with the contacts
- how to set by default the numeric pad ? Anytime i press a number on the button, it displays letters instead, like if i had to type a SMS from it
- How to restore the long press on the "#1" to launch the voicemail ? Now it launches the smartdial stupid thing
- Why does a bluetooth headset get inactive when i accept calls by pressing the PDA button instead of the headset one ? I have to do this, otherwise i have no sound on the bluetooth headset
This new way on WM6.1 to use the phone looks a bit strange to me ...
Thank you.
Sounds like your issues are unique to your device/ROM I do not have any of the issues you have described. Perhaps someone who uses your type of device may know better.
it all depends on the dialer you are using. Have you looked at using a PhoneCanvas dialer such as MBO PhoneCanvas?
Thanks, i'll have a look.
By the way, i have another question : before with WM5, i could switch to different profils (sound tone, vibrator, total silence) by using the buttons on the side of the phone. It is not possible anymore. Instead, it selects things on the today page.
Did it disappear with WM6 or do you thing it is only with the Asus P750 ?
Thanks.
Asking in the wrong place -- try posting your questions in the general area.

In the settings menu, select buttons and see if you have an option for the up/down button on the side of the phone. On my 6.1 Touch Pro2, there isn't this option for that button. So if its there, it probably wasn't from the stock rom.

They don't exist :\ Only one button to customize (for launching applications)
Thanks.
Any clue to set by default the numeric pad ? There's probably one tweak in the registry.

Edited an old cab to remove the version limits. It now works on Wm6.
Install and then dial a number from the standard phone dial pad to test! You should feel a short vibrate when you tap a number button letting you know that it's been tapped.
Add it to your CAB file collection.

What exactly does this do, with Phone Pad? Sounds interesting
It vibrates shortly each time, you press number in dial pad... or I guess, coz it did not work on my TyTN
but mayby is problem with some SPB products, because I have lot of them installed in my TyTN... e.g. phone suite, which can manipulate automatically with sound, vibration and light according to profile settings...
YUP! When you go to the dial screen and tap a number a small vibrate lets you know that a button has been pressed.
I'm also using bunches of SPB programs, but I still get the Vibrate from the standard dial screen.

It works on my Hermes but you have to long-press the key. Press for at least a half second to get the vibrate motor spinning.
Also, be sure to set either "short" or "long" tones in the phone options. It won't do anything if set to "none."
Hey thanks for converting to WM6 I had been missing it for awhile now!
Any chance this will work in WM5? Please and thanks.
Yeah this is soooooooooooo useful tip man, thanks a lot !!^^
Uninstall Issues...
I liked the idea, just didn't like the fact that you have to push the button for so long to get hte vibrate to react, just a fraction longer and it turns into a speed dial. So let's talk about the uninstall....
I unstalled the app, everything went normal. Now I have no keypadd tones at all.
hshortt, can you provide a fix or provide the registry keys that this install/uninstall modified?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed on my own...
Works with the HTC Touch / Vouge. Just had to do a soft reset twice. For some reason after the first time, the touch screen stopped responding.
I'd like to know what you did to get your keyapd tones back, this program sucks!!!

guys i have tried the solution in the above link, it didnt work out.
if i exported the registry files from a non screwd device, and exported to my mine... will it work out?
This program is not very effective, cause when I tap out a phone number naturally I tap it quickly, and you have to hold for at least 300ms (I reckon) for it to even do a little vibrate.
it somehow needs to be much more sensitive, lower ms or something. Maybe its a limitation of the whole vibrate mechanism in the phone anyway.
Oh well.
Lost All Sounds
after installing i lost all sound output from my back speaker
no music, no ringtones, nothing
it only made my phone pad vibrate but screwed up all other sound output
tried to uninstall & still no fix
also hard reset & gflashing ROM again didnt fix
did it screw up my device completely !!!!!!!!!!
any fix please???
Vibrate dial pad
Thank you ! This is just what I was looking for
Sorry.Didn't find how to delete message
Hi pretty neat program, until I found a better one TouchResponse... This one allows you to even select the vibration time, and it vibrates on every tap on your touch screen. Well the problem is I un-installed Phone Pad Vibrate and now the the sound is gone when I press a phone number. The link for the fix isn't working, so how do I fix it so I can get the sound back???
Did the link for removal instructions get moved/removed for this?
The link from above is still broken. Anyone have instructions on how to remove this app?
could someone upload it on rapidshare, because i canĀ“t load it, thank you
Dear all,
Have been searching the forums for a couple of days now, but to not much avail. I've got my TP2 configured just nicely with the 1% battery meter, (A)GPS tweaks etc but a few other things I just cannot figure out and hope you can all help me out.
Registry tweaking etc is fine, just so long as I can do what I need to. I'm using an unbranded European GSM TP2 bought just the other day.
1. On the "Quick List" menu; which I get into by holding down the red/end button, I can turn data sessions/flight mode etc on or off, or the vibrate function. How can I change what options are displayed in this menu?
2. How can I activate/achieve in-call recording (there's fragments of this on the board but no real definitive answer I can see).
3. While I use SPB Menu 3.0.1, when I go into the phone dialler, the "Contacts" soft key in the bottom left doesn't work. I think it's because I have TF3D disabled and SPB Menu instead, but can I remap this back to the default, original Microsoft contacts app which I prefer?
4. How can I keep WiFi switched on while the screen is off (seen a couple of apps I think to achieve this, a nice switchable app would be great).
5. How to (on SPB Menu 3.0.1) change the default contacts app away from the built-in SPB contact menu which is awful, and back to the default Microsoft one?
Finally, I share everyone's frustration about the lack of Bluetooth voice dialling. Having mailed HTC and gotten no decent reply back, I'm as annoyed as the next person... but I think the 6.5 ROM release from HTC if/when it appears will fix things up from "reading between the lines" of some of the replies from HTC I received.
Thanks all in advance,
Adam.

modify "\Windows\Long_End.lnk". let it point to an application that shows something else.

by default wifi is on when only the screen is off. if the device is in standby wifi also turns off. to change this set:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\TNETW12511\Parms]
"HTCKeepWifiOnWhenUnattended"=dword:00000001
Dear all,
mastermarv, thanks for the reply.
You said "modify "\Windows\Long_End.lnk". let it point to an application that shows something else."
-- Any ideas of an application that produces a menu similar to the TP2 Quick List menu, but with different, modifiable options?
Anyone any ideas on questions 3 and 5?
Thanks again everyone for a great community!
Adam.
Hey everyone,
Just in case anyone else searches and sees this, I've got an udpate:

-- This was all the fault of SPB Menu 3.0.1. Anyone else having a problem accessing Contacts from the default Dialler or Phone Screen should remove SPB Menu 3.0.1 and go back to version 2.1.5 or keep using TouchFlo instead. There's no word from SPB on their website as to a timescale for a fix on this and it's a total deal breaker for me, not being able to access standard Contacts list/menu or choose mobile/work/home/etc from a contact in that list!

(This is my first post, so I'm very sorry if I screw something up...I've been reading the XDA forums for quite some time now, so I hope I've got it right... Also, this is my very first WinMo device, so I apologize if the solution is something really stupid and easy.)
Hello guys,
I just got the TP2 about three days ago, and I SPLed it and installed WM6.5 on it. I've got the EnergyROM_RHODIUM_20091007_Titanium ROM on it right now.
However, there's something that's been annoying me. Whenever I hit the power button on the top of the TP2 to deactivate the screen, the screen will turn on if an incoming text or email should come in while the screen is off.
The only way it won't do this is if I lock it from the Honeycomb menu, then turn off the screen via the power button.
Is there a way to make the power button lock the phone and shut off the screen so it will not wake up when a text comes in?
If someone could tell me a way to do this, I'd very much appreciate it!
Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention this is a T-Mobile USA Pro2.
seems this software should satisfy you :
LockDevice: Another great application that locks the device with the tap of the power button. Uses the standard windows lockscreen, very lightweight. (freeware) ~ Thanks thierry2064

If you have the WVGA(HD) Tweak tool (should be under All Programs), it has a setting that disables Wake on SMS -- it's setting 2.2.
I don't know about a setting specifically pertaining to e-mail...my very-similar setup doesn't wake up as yours does.

That's a very nice lock, I use it myself, but it's for WM 6.1.
For WM 6.5 use SmartLock.

I installed SmartLock, then, when I went looking for the WVGA Tweak Tool, it was there. I thought I didn't see it, but, oh well. I checked it and it said that Wake on SMS was disabled (default).
Maybe SmartLock did that? I'm not sure. I'm testing it right now. Thanks for all the help so far.
EDIT: IT DID WORK! Thanks so much! (Definitely makes me feel better about selecting the TP2 to replace my iPhone 3GS )

Hi,
I have a Tilt 2 with stock ROM. The only two enhancements I use is "S2U2" and "Advanced Configuration Tool" ! I changed someting and now have a little problem :
When I get an incoming call and the caller id with the pic pops up, I can't pickup the call, using the green on-sceen button. This button does NOT pickup the phone call. I have to use the green hardware button to pickup the incoming call. However, I can use the RED on-screen button to end the call.
I soft reset the phone a few times and tried some settings with the "S2U2 and Advanced Config. Tool", but I can't get it to work.
Any ideas ?
I'd appreciate any help and suggestions.
Thanks,
JCE
same thing is happening to me, neither the onscreen slide, or the hard button work..
can't wait for an answer -_-
i lurk this forum here and there, and i still don't understand anything...at all -_-

Haha, it takes time to understand all the jargon and such that takes place around here. Just do some reading and searching, don't be afraid to ask questions if you can't find a thread explaining it. Eventually I would suggest flashing to a good rom like one of the Energy Rom's or a Cell Rom. The two best Rom Cooks on the Rhodium (Touch Pro 2/Tilt 2) side of xda.
I say the same thing as doublen1, use a non-stock ROM because these come with features already installed and you will be able to use S2U2 and all that stuff. and about the actual issue, I have had problems picking up calls with the screen, so I just started using the hardware keys.
Make sure you didn't mess around with any of the touch screen settings in Adv. Configr or BSB tweaks or something like that. This usually causes the problem with the dialer.
Hi AllTheWay,
well, I don't remember changing anything in the "Advanced Config. Tools" which would cause the touch screen settings to be different. However, I might have done or changed something...... Is there a way to get the "Touch Screen" settings to a default level without hard resetting the device ?
Thank you.

Not that I know of off the top of my head. There might be a setting inside of Adv Config that would allow you to restore to default. Also the S2U2 has a setting to take control as the dialer screen when somebody calls. You can try messing around with the settings in S2U2 as well.
PM me if you don't find an answer soon.
I've been playing with my new Touch Pro 2 for a couple of days. Very nice device, but like any new technological tool it's taking some time to learn my way around.
There are two silly little things about the software keyboard (Touch Input for Pocket PC v2.1) that are driving me insane:
Firstly, it gives a little vibration feedback with each keypress that, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn off.
Secondly, I cannot work out how to make the keyboard drop down and disappear - with my old TytnII pressing the little keyboard icon on the screen would drop away the keyboard, but now it brings up a menu page (and there's no menu option either!).
I'd really appreciate some help on these two things - I'm sure it will turn out to be something painfully obviouse!!!
Thanks!
Solution to 1 problem!
Just in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, the keyboard can be dropped down again by pressing the keyboard icon on the middle-bottom of the screen BUT it must be pressed on the left side of the icon in Windows 6.5.5. (If you press the right side of the icon you get the menu options - I think this is a result of the old option arrow being hidden under the keyboard icon in 6.5.5 ROMs).
Still no solution to turning off the vibration. I now think it's an error (one of many) in the cooked ROM as the menu item seems to be just missing!
...and solved the other problem
again, just posting this in case anyone reads this thread later in hope of answers!
So, it seems some smart cookie at HTC decided weshould be allowed to turn off the keyboard vibrations (we clearly can't be trusted with such important decisions!) so there is no way to do it from the menus.
Luckily Miri developed a tool to control this on the HD2, and from my initial trial of the disabling cab on the touch pro 2, it seems to work.
