Hello fellow T-mobile Dash users running WM6 beta...
As you all know, there is a bug (if that's indeed what it is) in the "smart dialing" capability that inserts "A,B,C" for numeral 2, "D,E,F" for numeral 3, and so on. Numeral 1 is a metacharacter (i.e. typing 1 repeatedly will just select all of your contacts).
I was looking in the registry and found a few keys that look interesting.
They are:
1) HKLM/Security/Phone/PhoneKeyMatch
2) HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/PhoneKeyMatch
There could be others, possibly relating to the keyboard driver being used, or the keyboard layout itself.
it does look interesting....i hope someone is able to do something with it...
I wish someone would be able to look into this and let us know how to fix this issue. thx
i don't think its a big deal. just hold the down key.
i'm sure it will be fixed in the final release. you can't wait a few weeks?
SOLUTION
Here's the fix to the problem... attached to this post (contained inside a zip file)
The registry settings were exported using Resco Registry. You should have that installed to import the settings back to your APP UNLOCKED phone.
I'm pretty sure this problem will be fixed in the final version, as it was a terribly simple solution. Just a few key mappings that needed to be changed.
If you don't have Resco Registry on the smartphone, you can edit the registry with whatever editor you have, and just open up the .reg file in notepad, and make the entries match.
Note that the # key also acts as the wildcard key, so if you type in the first couple of the letters of the first name and then # and then the first couple of the last name, like JO#SMI, it will match John Smith as well. Also, if you are trying to search for something like Ralph using Ra, it will bring up all of the R's, since # also acts as the wildcard character.
Thanks a bunch. Worked like a charm.
Don't forget to reset your phone after you change the keys.

Sorry, forgot to mention that part Kind of an important step.
Works like a charm, thanks!
Excellent, Merwin. Well done.
Agh, you beat me to it, I wanted to post the answer first!
Well good job! Not sure if this has been covered yet but you can get rid of the BETA text on the Today Screen by modifying the following registry key"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\DeviceBeta]
"Today"="Beta"

Yeah, I did that one a while ago... I routinely go through the entire registry when i get a new firmware
Hey - great post! Would you happen to know how to add an additional keyboard layout to WM?
I have not done it my self but it looks like you can easily add a new keymap. Look at the file \windows\eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt. You can't replace that file but you can copy it and save it with a new name. Then go into the registry and find references to that file then change them to match the new file name.
Be prepared to hard reset your device if you screw up, you may loose functionality of your keyboard.
Thanks so much! Made life much easier!

I've tried that with no luck. Looks like the keyboard driver needs to support additional languages...

OK I have tried to import the registry and I have even tried to manually update the entries but they alwas go back to what they were before any help would be great. I do have Resco installed.
Thanks,

Merwin: Thanks a lot for the fix!
Mario: I'd recommend using a free desktop app called Mobile Registry Editor: http://www.breaksoft.com/Blog/Utilities/2005/1/Mobile_Registry_Editor.aspx
This lets you edit your phone's registry using your desktop PC. Replace each of those keys (23, 2A, 31, 32, 33 .. 39) in HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch\KeyboardMappings with the values found in the .reg file Merwin provided.

Same here. Thanks
Does anyone else thing the matching is slower than in WM5?
Along the bottom of the phone there's a home button and an endcall which, within programmes, seem to do the same thing - take you back to the today screen. Or, in my case the 6.5 CHome thingy. And the back button in most apps takes you to the home screen too - so that's three buttons largely doing the same thing most of the time.
The new phones with 6.5 preinstalled will have a windows-flag start menu button, I assume this will open up the new hexagony start menu.
Is there a way of remapping the home button so it launches the start menu instead?
That is EXACTLY what I have been thinking for the last days. Pressing Home-key should naturally bring up the start-menu.
Nice idea, even because reaching the top left corner with your right thumb(maybe for left handed it's easier ) while holding the HD with the right hand is a little bit tricky
I'd like something small to do this but I have a feeling most people will return with the suggestion "use aebplus to remap"
I have the same feeling wiggz, There must be a registry key or something that can be changed and put into cab format? Anyone got any ideas?
Me to
So, we are many!!
I too have been looking for a way to do this for ages.
I too will be watching this thread with interest and hope.

No aeblus cannot map the home button as it's hard coded into manila!

so as the home button is coded into manila it mean's one has to play with the manila files and remap to start menu all that would mean is to change some scripts!!
bottomline Home button in theory can be mapped to the start menu!! so it's plausible!!!
i'm going to watch this thread as well --- i've been looking for this since I got hold of my HD. I've already remapped the "back" button to S2U2 via AEB since you are correct, essentially the home, back, and end buttons all work very similarly.
Hoping that someone posts a solution to this!
i have the solution...install this program and you can change all the hard keys to do almost any function...i have mine set up to do the exact same thing that you want it to do!!
cheers!!

Thanks,but could give more informations to remap keys,please ? The list is empty when i launch the application ...
Same here. I was so happy when I found this thread..
When I tried installing that, it did not work... Maybe it was my ROM.
There are REG keys that remap home in certain cituations, i.e. manilla but I have yet to find a way to get the reg key to do anything else.
The new keypad.dll maps it to a normal vk_lwin, so you can remap it as you like.
Unfortunately I have not yet seen it an any ROM.

It is for Diamond and the author says here post 10 "For the touch HD, maybe you should download HTCAPI.DLL somewhere, put it in /Windows and try again". Haven't read the whole thread though so not sure if this is what the problem is.
i know its a little confusing to get it started...so heres what you do...install cab, go to program files\dredsensor and click on dredsensor.exe and a config.ini will appear...now close out whatever app you are using to view files...and open dredsensor...now you will see default under name...tap default and then click menu, then edit...change type to launcher...then go to click and tap the gray box next to the home key...go to events and chose Misc:Start, hit select, hit ok to comfirm, change whatever others you want to...then hit save, then hit ok to confirm...then hit exit...then you should be good to go...hope this helps!!

Hello,my opinion : if you post something in blackstone thread it's normally compatible with this pda , no ?
Edit : i build this cab for our HD and now it works ! Don't forget to do a soft reset .

Thanks! just did this as per your instruction but still no joy!! still get the same error message on start up "SMartTouch service is not found"
Hey guys,
Just thought you might want to know incase it is annoying anyone else.
To change the softkey from reply all to reply you need to do the following registry edits.
From the link:
If you want to fix it you need to turn outlook enhancement off.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Servic es\OutlookEnhancement]
"Module"=""
then softreset
to turn it on
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Servic es\OutlookEnhancement]
"Module"="\\windows\\OutlookEnhancement.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
Remove the name under "dll"
then softreset
Doing the first part only didnt work on my TP2, but after i removed the one in HKLM as well it worked
Cheers
WOW thank you! thats exactly what i was searching for!
Does this fix change anything else than the softkey?
Is there a way to change the "delete" key? When I choose an account, then hit Inbox to see the emails, I sometimes hit delete (when the phone is slower, sometimes you think that you didn't press on Inbox and when you press again, you hit delete).
Have deleted a few mails this way, so changing it into anything else (e.g. reply to all or something) would be nice!
Thanks , this was bugging me for a while

I would also like to know the answer to that. Removing an entire "Outlook Enhancement" DLL sounds like it might have side effects!
Those registry entries don't seem to exist in the 6.5 official ROM. Don't seem to be any for OutlookEnhancement. Any ideas?

Same question here. No trace of "OutlookEnhancement" in the registry.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you so much for this. I had the same issue with just doing step #1 with no results. I should have known to search for other entries with that dll. Thanks!!!!!
I have WM6.5 and found both entries in the registry editor..... but that doesn't mean "Reply to all" was replaced with "Reply" when both items were cleared! I followed the steps to the letter, both Module in HKCU and Dll in HKLM were blanked, soft reset after each one, and when clicking on an email, the left softkey still reads "Reply to all"
I'm not the type that needs to "Reply to all" everytime I send an email - especially when "all" includes me again in the TO: field!!!
Possibly a bit late but I removed the 'reply to all' option by editing the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ShowReplyAllEmailSK1 and setting the value to 0.
Worked for me
On my TP2 from t-mobile the edits in the registry worked great. Had to delete both files though for it to work. I wish I tried the method stated above first though, seems easier to reverse.

Changing softkey from reply all to reply in touchpro2 - found the registry entry!
OK, I JUST found this registry entry for the HTC Touch Pro 2. Mine is a US Cellular handset running WM 6.5. I, also, could not locate the OutlookEnhancement referred to in previous posts.
I found and changed the following registry entry, and it seems to have worked. Do this at your own risk, but if you are like me, and not finding answers anywhere else, it's worth a shot. You can always reverse it.
Find the following registry entry:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Locate the following value:
ShowReplyAllEmailSK1
Change the value from "1" to "0" - without quotes, obviously.
Hope this works for you as it has for me!
Whoops! I'm an idiot! Didn't see that page 2 of this thread already had the answer I found! Oh well, hopefully it will increase visibility in the search engines for others trying to find the answer!

Here you go
I don't know the exact name of it, but the grey screen that tracks events. Shows you your battery life, new messages and such. It basically lists system events like new voicemails, IM's....etc.
Now when click on the top icons I get the regular connection bubble, new messahe bubble...the big grey screen doesn't come up any longer.
Only thing I installed today was the WiFi Router cab. I uninstalled that to see if for any reason that could have caused it but nope.
Notes: I am using AT&T's TP2 (Tilt 2) on Stock Rom
Edit: HTC Notification Manager service...that's what I am talking about
In your favorite registry editor, go to HKLM/Services/NOTIFICATIONMANAGER
Look for the key named Dll, and make sure that the value for that key is:
"NotificationManager.dll"
Be sure that the key is correct Uppercase and Lowercase as it is typed here.
If that does not fix it, I really don't know!

Ya that is set correctly. I downloaded "FdcSoft's Task Manager" to see Windows Services screen and saw that the service is set to auto but it was stopped. I started it and its working but when I reboot the phone, its stopped again...
Is there a way to use MortScript to start a service? Cause if so, then I can just drop a script in the startup folder...
Have the same problem here. But when checking in Windows, don't even have the NotificationManager.dll anymore ???
Can some other software deleted the file ?
Can someone post the dll file here ?
Thx

This is NotificationManager.dll from a SPRINT touch pro2, I do not know if there are differences in the dll based on carrier.

You may not see a 'dll" but you might still see "NotificationManager" without the extension...I think that is it.

No, actually after searching, found the NotificationManager.dll, however size is 0 so that can not be right.

Does anyone know how you can start a windows service using a mortscript? If I can do that, I can drop that into the startup folder and that should hopefully get it running again on boot....
so when i receive a message the phone only vibrates. is there a way to get it to actually wake up the device and have the little screen pop up where i can preview the message? like on the original tilt
Hey, it's in the sticky...
ohh gosh im sorry that was really stupid! thanks

not 100% sure this will work for you, Im on Windows 7 64 bit, but here try the attached application (be connected via Windows Mobile Device Center).
Alternatively Total Commander is an easy way to modify the registry on your phone without the need for a pc, just run it, go to the root directory (by pressing the back slash in top right corner), enter "plugins" folder and then "registry" and there you are....
hope this helps
