i got wm6 black and once i open SMS up..
the soft key on the left handside is "delete" i wanted to chante to "new"
can someone tell me how to do that please?
thanks.
This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.
The delete button is bugging me as well...
I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.
If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................
There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.
As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.

Your Welome!
I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.
Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.
I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.
I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).
Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.
Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.
It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.
EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !
Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.

i keep my ringtones/notifications sounds etc in the root of the SD card. they work and it saves having to copy them back after a ROM update...
My ringtones and notifications sounds are all on storage card/my documents. works perfect and you can see them when you're changing ringtones and notifications.
And now, a few days ago, i moved them into an subfolder "ringtones" in "storage card/my documents" and changed the paths in registry - also working perfect. you just can't select them with the GUI in settings, but changing the paths directly in registry - all working fine
Here it is, tried and tested.
1. goto settings
2. goto text to speech and install voice data
3. goto link to warez site removed on your desire
4. on the home page search for Verizon 2.1 keyboard with voice input by clicking on v and scrolling to it
5. download it
6. install it (you may get a prompt saying that you need to change your settings to allow it to install, so do so)
7. next in settings again goto language & keyboard
8. tick android keyboard
9. click android keyboard settings
10. make sure voice input is ticked.
11. go into messages and hold down on TAP TO COMPOSE
12. select input method
13. then select android keyboard
14. click the mic and start talking

i email HTC to ask if the voice to text feature was disabled on the Sim Free version of the Desire and this is the response i got....
Thank you for your enquiry about voice to text.
Well the device does have voice to search via Google, so it should do. The only thing is you'll probably have to install some apps from market on the Device, hope this helps..

So any one with the desire ATM does the above work? (i.e voice to search) i find the answer vague so i have asked for a yes or no answer to the question i asked. i quoted the desirehtc website where it states this feature will be available.
if anyone else has emailed HTC on this subject i would be interested in the response you got.
UPDATE
HTC have now resopnded with a Simple "NO" you will have to use a 3d party App.
no voice search here.
cos it's using the HTC IME, it is missing the microphone key that you get on the Android keyboard to use the voice to text functions.
whoever answered that at HTC obviously didn't have one to hand to check and was probably looking at the nexus....
Afternoon all,
After enabling the 'Voice to Text' as shown on How To Enable Voice To Text using one of the links on page 2 I have now got Google search by voice working on a T-Mobile Desire.
You don't have to change over to using the android keyboard if you don't want to use the main voice to text functionality, but now pressing and holding the search button brings up a pop-up on screen with 'Speak Now - Google Search' and a microphone symbol.
Seems to work fine to me.
works fine for me too.
Maybe it's coming in another update, this is from the htc website desirehtc dot com
" Android 2.1...
What's that all about then?
Launched in January 2010, and known in the trade as Eclair, this is basically an update to the operating system. In laymans terms, it's a sexier looking interface. But it's not quite that simple.
Now, for example, your Wallpapers can be animated, injecting your screen with a new lease of life. This works particularly well with the AMOLED screen.
Rather excitingly, it brings us into a realm where voice-to-text is a reality in all text fields. Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there. "
I'm sorry but voice search has always been there...

Cheers mate... great help, 1 more reason 2 love Desire...
Back to my orignal post.....
HTC tell me the voice - search is available by default (i.e not installing any other SW) they say it has to be enabled in settings then it work when using the search key/menu?
any one confirm this?
Actually, I also got a similar answer from HTC. I'm from Singapore though. Thus, most likely it is an unlocked version. My question was:
"Does the HTC Desire support the speech-to-text function out of the box? Does it also support AVI files? Thank You."
This is what i got.
"Thanks for contacting HTC.
For HTC Desire, it does have the function for Speech-to-text, but it doesn't support AVI file.
Thank you for your continuous support of our products and services. Should you require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
We look forward to be of service to you again."
From this reply, it seems obvious what the answer is. But the truth, from those who already got the phone, are far from it. I had specifically said out of the box. But, as told by owners, you need to download apps and everything for this function. Just FYI, I do not own the Desire...yet XD
HTC says NO! to voice enabled in default.
As the title states I'm running dzo's latest with the 9-9-10 kernel. The issue is that when I get a call my phone rings once then just stays at the answer screen as though the phone should be ringing.
So has anyone had this issue with dzo's froyo, and if so what did you find to be the fix if u found one.

I am having the exact same issue, very annoying, no solution so far...
I'm unable to help factively, as I'm not running that build, but just to start troubleshooting... which kind of ringtone are you using?
Have you tried to use a different one (i.e: a song)
What's the result?
maybe this can help tracking the issue

It's a clean installation so no installed ring tones, only the once dzo included. I will try with some of the others to see if they all produce the same result.
Far from solving the issue, it may be a patch: having a song (obviously longer than a ringtone jingle) you'd hear it longer
Yes but if the filesize is too big then it will take a while to load the ringtone also which would mean you would miss the first dials and possibly altogether. This may be a dialer issue, I have noticed that android doesn't seems give the dialer a higher priority then the other active tasks for some reason. Does anyone know if we can set priority of activities in Android? If we can make the dialer the highest priority then your phone shouldn't have less issues.

Not only that, but a fix is what I'm after, not a workaround.
I've already posted a fix for this in dzo's original Fresh Froyo thread:

P.S. Have anyone noticed, that some ringtones (e.g. Digital Phone) ring only once? While still vibrating, and showing caller ID, the phone does not repeat the ringtone. I don't know, when it starts to happen, but it was in any ROM from July.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I had this problem as well, thought I'd share my finding and fix:
In OGG files I've found that there's an extra meta tag called ANDROID_LOOP which is set to 'true'. The Digital Phone ringtone doesn't have this tag, while others like the Classic Phone does (hence why the Classic ringtone repeats for incoming calls).
Here's what I did to fix this:
- Download and install Audacity (audacity.sourceforge.net)
- Open the ringtone file in Audacity, note you can use mp3/wav files as well, Audacity can convert them into OGG.
- Select Open Metadata Editor for the File Menu
- Add a new tag called ANDROID_LOOP and set the value to 'true'. (See screenshot here: g-sel.com/meta_editor.jpg (I can't post external links, so if a mod would like to edit this post and make them links, please feel free.))
- Click OK
- Select Export from the File Menu and select the Save As Type format as Ogg Vorbis Files.
- Click OK through File Save and Metadata dialogue window.
- Copy the new ringtone file onto your phone and enjoy
You can also copy the new file over the existing one as well:
- Open a terminal program (eg. Better Terminal from the marketplace) and run the following commands:
$su
#rwsystem
#cd /system/media/audio/ringtones
#cp <location of new ringtone> .
#chmod 644 <new ringtone filename>
#rosystem
#exit
- If you have added a new ringtone, ie. your own one not Android default, you will need to reboot the phone for the new ringtone to appear on the list.
Obviously change <location of new ringtone> and <new ringtone filename> to where you've saved the new file (eg. /sdcard/Ring_Digital_02.ogg and Ring_Digital_02.ogg).
PS. I don't think the CHMOD is really needed, but I like to keep things consistent so I do it anyway.

Indeed thanks to siwahem for a fix. And sorry ppelleg2003 if I came across short, I always appreciate input.
Forgot to mention that if you want to use your own sound for notifications then set the ANDROID_LOOP tag to false, otherwise the sound will keep looping non-stop. Only way to stop it, without killing the sound system, is to set the phone to silent mode, then back to normal profile.
Seems, this tag is ignored for alarm sounds though, non of the default alarm files have the tag, but I haven't tested it.
As for dialer priority issue, android actually uses a different process for phone calls. The dialer is part of the contacts app I believe.
Try Phone Prioritizer (it may be called Scheduled Scripting) app (here: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558822). It runs periodically to set the main phone processes and launcher at higher priority. I've been using it and it works a charm, phone reacts, starts ringing and display the incoming call screen within the first ring.
