I love this site
I;ve gotten costumizations for my BA (Siemens SX66) for e-plus and vodafone. Now I have an eplus splash screen (isntead of my cingular one) - nice - but since I like to change things around every now and then - does anyone have the following things:
1) the original cingular slash screen in a cab format
2) a way to input chinese in my BA (without installing the chinese ROM)
3) now this is old school but I have to ask - anyone have the AT&T splash screens from the SX56 ?
Sorry to be a bother

Hi Admiral,
may I ask you where you got that E-Plus splash screen from or how you searched for it?
TIA
see my sig
I think you will find a lot for the Blue Angel there, just select the device and the language you need

I just found out some of the sorting is totally broken, I will look into that on monday
Mobem CE-Star is a good chinese input
The input method I use is: http://www.mobem.com/products/cestar2003.php
It supports chinese handwriting recognition, pinyin, and several other methods.
I went through the extROMs and extracted some splash screens and theme files - I can post the e-plus one later on if someone is still interested
That would be great, Admiral , will you post it in the ftp section?
Thanks a lot in advance....
I will post them tomorrow morning (US eastern time)
Cool, I'll find them . I'm surprised that there is an E-Plus splash screen out there since they don't really market the Qtek series here in Germany. Their main handset selection is concetrated on the non-PPC handset sector.
But they've always provided me with what I need, hence why I'm still with them after 5 years.
I didn't like the Calendar/Email combination for the program, as it required two hands to unlock it.
So, I found the two locations for each of the scan codes (Calendar = 193 / C1 00, E-mail = 196 / C4 00) and changed them to the Record (200 / C8 00) and Camera (199 / C7 00).
I found the Record/Camera combination much easier to use and still difficult to accidently unlock.
Hope this helps people.
Great idea, but can you change it so that it also locks the two phone buttons? They're still active, but you can't even tell what its doing cause the screen stays off!
I don't have the source code to this program, I only searched for the keys it scans for and changed them appropriately. You might want to check out PDAPhoneHome.com and two developers SuperDave and Mort making lockdown software for the Phone Edition PocketPCs.
Thanks, will have a look!
hi there,
i have spent three nights without luck searching for a solution the following problem:
is it possible that smart dial treats special characters like the german umlaute (Ä, Ö, Ü) as their corresponding base characters?
example: i want to call "MÜLLER", which is the last name.
i would start keying in: 6 (m) 8 (u)
and unfortunately müller could not be found.
i do not want to slide out the keyboard and use that one (this would not work either), i was hoping that i could search contacts with the dial pad.
the easiest way would be to force smart dial to treat an Ü as a U.
any ideas?

Hi all !
I tried to look for a thread talking about that, but I didn't find some ...
I have a problem with my Desire Z, with the physical keyboard.
I need to write specials characters like the : < or the : > and others
But I don't have them on my physical keybord, even if I do the key : FN + Symb I have only few special characters ! where are all of special characters I have with my tactical keyboard ??????
If someone has few informations about that, that would be very helpfull !
Thanks for reading my poor english.
On the G2 i hold Alt and K to for like 2 secs and a small menu will pop up allowing me to do 3 additional characters one of them is >. For the desire z i am guessing my alt button is your FN button. Give that a try
Thanks for the answer.
I tried again to long press on all the keys of the physical keyboard. I have other specials characters with most of the keys but no < or > ....
And for the letter : K , I have only one other character : ?
I dont know why its a : ? ....?!

This works the same on the Desire Z
Hold FN & K for 2/3 seconds & a menu pops up with '>'
Hold FN & J for 2/3 seconds & a menu pops up with '<'
Doesn't work on the German version of the DZ...all I get when I press and hold FN-K is:
üüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüüü
...because the German Umlauts sit on jkl. Hoping for an Update...
Maybe I have to say that I have french Desire Z.
I think it's a problem with the localisation of the language .... maybe, maybe not ...
I up the post !
nobody have informations about that ?
Desire Z HW keyboard problem
hi to all,
i have purchased htc desire z from O2 (CR) and also had a problem with HW keyboard, on the second row from the second or third key the special characters were shifted by one key....
O2 wanted to exchange the phone for a new one immediately, but a second phone we unpacked at the store had the same problem....
ive got my money back, and i have no new phone 8((
im so far hesitating to purchase the phone again elsewhere....
I have the german version of the desire z and for > and < you can press the FN key with the key label SYM and an magnifying glass on it
Weird, as my German Desire Z (stock Sense ROM) with German keyboard setting only allows these characters with the SYM button:
'...' ¥ · ® © ± [ ] { } \ |
Holding Fn + something else for two seconds doesn't work for any key.
Same problem.
I dont know if some dev can correct the problem, I think its software and not hardware.
I will try to call HTC to know more about this problem
EDIT :
I just called HTC center. After 30 minutes on the phone, they don't have a solution for me, their best solution was to use the virtual keyboard, I said it is not a solution for me, I bought a HTC Desire Z to always use a physical keyboard, and if some countries don't have this problem, why I have to stay with this problem without doing something. The guy on the phone told me he will send this problem higher and if he has informations he'll call me back.
Maybe people who have the same problem can call HTC to show to HTC that it's a permanent bug, permanent missing option and we need this option back. (I need in fact, but I think I'm not the only one who need the < and > when I use my physical keyboard)
I'll give new informations as soon as I have news
Thx again for reading my f****** poor english
Similar topic is DZ Sym Key Menu.
HTC says its only possible through the virtual keyboard.

Yes without doing something it's only possible with virtual keyboard.
But if they do something, they can "fix" that by including < and > in the FN+Symb combo popup.
It's easy to say something like that. But for a customer like me, I can't let them saying that. Why because I'm using a Azerty Desire I dont have these characters and why US people have them correctly with their physical keyboard, in fact there is no problem for US keyboard, only for French keyboard (and I guees German too).
It's not my problem, it's their problem, and I hope they will fix it.
Saying to use the virtual keyboard is a funny joke, when we know that the Desire Z has a physical keyboard ! People you buy this smartphone does it because they don't want to use the virtual keyboard ....
These kinds of answers make me crazy so sorry because its totally stupid and think people are stupid, I AM NOT !
I agree with you. Yes, it is normal to expect that you will be able to input the same characters on the HW keyboard.
I do not understand why they left them out.
Especially weird seems leaving out different characters on different layouts while barely/not using the symbol key and pretty much omitting Shift-Fn-.. combinations...

Does anyone know if at all possible to swap the Z and Y symbols on a QWERTZ hard kb on an Austrian Dezire Z?

Work-around (lame but nonetheless)
Hey all,
I ended up here yesterday, also looking for a way to input the "less than" or "greater than" symbols (<, >) on my Desire Z using the physical keyboard.
I don't have a solution, but I have found a workaround that is acceptable to me (until somebody finds out how to add symbols to the SYM list ).
Just enter the symbols as "quick text". Then, you can press then MENU button on your keyboard while typing, press "quick text" on your screen, and then select the symbol you want.
It's a good idea to delete the default quick text messages (unless you actually use them ), so that you won't have to scroll to select your symbols of choice.
I know it's far from perfect, but better than the only other way to get to these symbols. At least for me (Desire Z bought in the Netherlands), I would have to:
1) close phone
2) tap text area to activate onscreen keyboard
3) tap '12#' button
4) tap '1/2' button
5) tap symbol (e.g. '<' or '>')
6) open phone again and continue typing
I also know this is a pretty obvious "workaround", but I thought that the possibility that it might provide some relief to somebody somewhere made it worthwhile typing it out
For the rest, but the way, it's seriously an amazing phone (and OS)! My previous phone was a Touch Pro, with Windows Mobile 6.5 I think (or 6? Don't even remember - and never got around to flashing it, sad as that may be ), and this is amazing. I'm not so much of an Apple person, but I can now for the first time understand what they experienced when they played around with an iPhone or Apple for the first time. The gap in functionality and userfriendliness is mind-boggling.
So, bar the fact that it's not so easy to type "<3" anymore, great phone
< and > characters have been added to the SYM list in the OTA 1.72 version I know this version has been pulled out by HTC but I'm sure the SYM list will also be updated in the next OTA.
But I still can't find the degree symbol. Am I missing something?

What still is totally missing is the clause symbol (§). I did not find any way to type this (neither hard- nor softkeyboard). I really hate it, as I need it regularly.
The '<' and '>' characters are available through the C and V chars.
@Becksman: I found § in the 'S' menu.
(Although I'm not sure for the Sense ROM, I'm on Cyanogen 7)
