Hi All,
Is there any way that i can get the names and the numbers to display as i hit the keys in the dialer?[Currently only the names are shown]
The earlier Jasjam rom there was an option to have the names and numbers to show up as you type.
Many thanks for you help with this,
G
My current version: 2007-05-07 RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.9 [LVSW Edition]
normaly is should show you the neames and below one number for the contact you want... when you scroll to your contact... with left / right pad you can scroll through the numbers for that contact...
Nope, Its only showing me the names but no numbers
Is there any option that i need to change to get this working?
Sounds like you need to reinstall the HTC smart dialer. Check the wiki under the cabs section (and elsewhere). Maybe that will fix what ails you.
WM6 Dialer Names+Numbers - Settings for Black.
This one has buggged me for a while also, however it's easy to fix.
Simply use "Pimp my Black" and enable the 3G Video Dialer. Click bling, soft rest and you now have the older smart dialer which shows names and #'s. It also allows you to use the scroll wheel to quickly access history and speed-dial.
I'm also running LVSW's ROM - ever since I installed the HTC Smart dialer 2.2 on the wiki cab page I can't find the option to enable the names/numbers on the main screen at all. It's just a blank space with the numpad.
Hiya,
Prior to upgrading to WM6.0, There was a feature on the phone to allow me to write text anywhere on the screen, and this is entered in text fields, however after updating to WM6.0 I can't seem to be able to access this feature (can't remember the name). I used to access it via the small keyboard icon at the bottom of text fields. Is there a way to restore this feature?
Thank you very much for any help

This feature is called transcriber. There are cabs available for this.

Transcriber
Is that what you're talking about? It was not removed in WM6.
Click on the bottom keyboard icon. A triangle will appear next to it. Click on it & select "Transcriber."
If its a cooked rom that you upgrade to a lot of the chefs remove transcriber so you really need to look for and re-install the cab. Cheers....
This may be my dumbest post ever, but I find nothing on the topic. I lost my phone 2 nights ago and a nice lady found it and took it home to contact me. By then it locked to the default WM lock screen. Because it had locked, she could not see owner information and returned it to the restaurant. I got it back today.
Question, absent a Manila editor or 3rd party app (e.g. S2U2) is there any way to display owner information on the lock screen of a wm 6.5 sense (manila) stock rom?
M$ must have thought of this but I have no idea how to do it. Sorry if there are 1,000 posts somewhere on this topic.
Thank you!!!

Seems like such a good idea, id also be interested in this!
I don't yet have 6.5 but in 6.1 you go to Settings>Personal (Tab)>Owner Information>Options (Tab) and put a checkmark next to "Identification information" for the setting "When the device is turned on, display:"
Has this setting been removed from 6.5?

Thank you, but it is no longer there. It must be somewhere!
Setting owner information
I have a UK TP2
The only way I can find to display owner info is
From Getting Started, Set background, Change background image, Items tab
Disable HTC Sense, enable Owner Into - there you can enter the data and set to display on start-up
I hope this helps

Thank you, but it does not show when the device is locked in Manila. M$ and HTC are soooo stupid!
On my HTC Touch Pro 2 once its locked i get the owner information when i wake the device, but it seems that once you press the screen to access the unlock screen, you cant get back to the owner information unless you unlock the phone. Its a bit stupid that when you press the power button to put the device to sleep it brings up the owner information every time, but when its locked it doesnt. Pretty stupid if you consider that the only time you really need the owner information to be constant is when you lose your phone or it gets stolen!
I've been googling the whole weekend and did not find anything. Still searching.
Does somebody have any idea about how to show owner info ? As TPC knows the way to move right/left/down the "slide" button, is there a way to add the owner info to the screen ?
(I know S2U does have this option, but I mean using the built-in new unlock feature in WM6.5)
Owner info on lock screen HTC TP2
Anybody who help me out with the owner info on the lock screen? It worked fine in the previous BIOS version and in the latest released BIOS update it 's gone.
I'm able to fill in all the owner details, but it's not displayed when I switch on the device.
Awaiting for a positive response
Kindly regards
Andries
This is something I'd like to do as well. My previous Blackberrys had this and it was a nice feature.
I'm not on wm6.5 but try using WM's built-in Lock feature. On wm6.1 and before, owner's info is displayed before showing the password screen
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/help/v6-5/Lock-your-phone-touch.aspx
Has anyone found a good solution to displaying the owner information yet? I had put it in the 'hint' but this only appears after you have mistyped the password several times.
Ok, I've found a solution. You can change the text that appears under the slider (usually 'slide'). I've changed to my name followed by my phone number.
You can find it here.

It's a good (provisory) solution !! I think it's the best way to tell whose is the device or what to do in emergency case.
Now, what about connecting what is inside the sentence in the .cpr file to another file ? Does somebody think it's possible ? Or maybe the .dll file could be adapted to read from the "username" keys in the registry ?? (sorry for my question, I have no idea about programming)
Another way
I changed my welcomehead.192.png file to my own picture, and included text in the picture with my name and a request to call a phone number if the phone is found. All you need to have is a program that can put out a 480X800 PNG and be able to add text.
EDIT: The file has to be moved to the \Windows directory. This file says up for almost a minute when the phone boots.

Thank you for the tip! Between getting my name and email in the lock slider, and my DL# and email addresses in the boot screens, I should be good to to for now...just need to install RemoteTracker!
Setting Owner Information on Touch Pro 2
The option to do this easily was removed in 6.5. To enable this follow the advice below:
1. Navigate to Settings, All Settings, Today
2. Click on the Items tab
3. Disable HTC Sense
4. Enable “Owner Info” and tap OK.
5. Enter the Owner information that you would like displayed on the Today screen.
6. Highlight the "Owner Information", and go to the Options tab
7. Check that the "When the device is turned on Display" Identification information is enabled
8. Go back to Item 1 and re-enable HTC Sense
9. The Owner Information will now show when the phone is locked
EDIT: My ROM's Chef said that selecting the 'Owner Info' option will not allow the 'Options' button to function even though 'Owner Info' is enabled for the ROM that I am currently using. However, I was successful in changing my lock screen text by using the 1st posted method above (Customize or Remove Lock Screen Text).
I edited both "TapOrSlide" and "SlideToUnlock", because I noticed that my custom text would not display if I received a notification. Also, keep the number of characters to a minimum, so that it displays correctly. If it is too long, the far left and far right characters will fall off the screen.
Hmm, wonder if there's a way to add additional lines to the displayed text???
Many thanks to the original poster for posing a question that I didn't even know I needed to know!

Thanks so much for this, however, for some reason the "Options" button is greyed out (unavailable) in the Today Screen Item Settings page even though I have Owner Info highlighted... Damn! May have to try the other method. Anyone have any success with either?
I've also sent a message to my ROM's Chef asking if this is a bug or whether this is an option that was somehow left out of the build that I'm using.

jamiemckee posted a good solution that I use. Make a reg edit to revert back to the WM6.1 Device Lock & do away with the 6.5 Lockscreen. Just your Today Screen shows.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\LockScreen\Enable
Default Value: 1 (for Sliding lock screen)
Changed Value: 0 (for soft key lock a la wm6.1)
I found this because I actually WANTED to disable the default WM6.5 lockscreen as I prefer the soft key unlock, partly because of the memory the sliding lock uses, and also because I want to be able to see the gorgeous sense 2.5 interface when I turn my phone on to see the time.

This functionality has to be in the 6.5 OS somewhere. I used to have a TouchPro 2 with 6.1 and it displayed the owner information during power up. To get this information to appear on my Tilt 2, I had to download and install an app called SKTools. Now I have an applet in the Personal settings under the Settings option in the start menu where one wasn't before.
I am trying to find a way to increase the font size, in a number of places but say for example in the phone list. I would find it far easier to read the phone numbers if they were a little larger.
In the system settings there is a tab for Accessibility. However when I click it, the next box available is greyed out and inacessible.
Has anybody any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help!!
I cant believe that NOBODY knows how to do this????!!!!!!!!!!!
I can remember , when I last blatted my phone.. that area pops up with a box saying do you want to install accessibility, select no ... never seen it since .. apart from a full reset...
Must be a file to get it back some where .
I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. Can anyone tell me where the watch's language settings are? Is it dependant on the phone? I set it up in English but I want to change it after the fact. Cheers.
Guess I should have troubleshooted further. Changing my phone's language to the desired one(for the watch) changed the language on the watch. With Android 13 came the ability to change language on a per app basis. Unfortunately, Google hasn't added that ability to their own pixel watch app. Very Google.
