Too many questions...

...so i put them all in one thread. .
Hello everyone.
Just got a TyTn. Quite a change from my old K800, but im sure i'll adjust.
Ive been reading around here for a few weeks now in antisipation of my TyTn arriving. So know a few things already, like the highly rated 'batti' battery app.
I have a few questions about it though that i cant find definate answers on:
- Is it possible to have custom ringtones for each contact?
- How do i close programs? As at the moment they just seem to minimise, and the only way i can find to actually close them is through the memory app in settings.
- How do i install the today screen app called 'Launcher' its not a cab file like the rest of the programs ive installed.
- Is there a today screen plugin i can use to lock the phone when i press it?
- Some of my contacts are listed as 'elliot, fred' rarther than 'fred elliot'. How do i fix that?
- Is it possible to have full screen contact images? Ive got contact images setup for a few of my contacts, but they only ever show up as a tiny icon when opening a txt (havnt tryed incoming calls yet), is there a way to make it so that when i get a txt i get the picture instead of/extra to the standard popup?
- Emoticons. How/can i put them in txt messages? (actually view them, not the pure text equilivent.).
Thanks in advance all.
Any help would be much appricated. .

- How do i install the today screen app called 'Launcher' its not a cab file like the rest of the programs ive installed. Be More Specific
- Is there a today screen plugin i can use to lock the phone when i press it? Start-Settings-Today Screen-Items Tab, or download 'device lock (before you even ask, use the search function

Ok I tried to help, but geez dude. I think this forum may be a little advanced for you. There are plenty of other websites and forums that can help you with these questions. Before you post any more questions:
1. Read The Windows Mobile Manual
2. Learn how to use the search function
3. Spend a little more time reading
4. Read a little more.
5. Come back and post questions when you ACTUALLY have a phone. THis way you can try to figure things out on the phone before you start asking questions.
Good Luck!

Calendar @ Home Screen

hi guys,
i really enjoy using my diamond with lots of tweaks and so on but there´s one thing left ( maybe the most important !!! ) :
I need to see all upcoming events ( next 2-3 days ? ) at the home screen, there are two at maximum and thats really annoying...
Is there any developer who knows a soloution ?
thanks for reply,
Sebastian...
btw:
sorry for my bad english...

Oh yes, I would really appreciate this aswell!

Search around for "Second Today"

Same here, if anyone knows a solution...

Refresh appointment on home tab
Hi,
I have the problem that sometimes no appointment is shown on the home tab although there are appointment for this day in calender .
Sometimes the home-tab shows appointment from past (the day before) .
If I edit an appointment in the calender, the appointment on the home tab refresh and everything is correct .
Im using original HTC-Rom 1.93 GER with some own graphics-manila-files created with Manila editor.
Any idea?

Try TodayAgenda V1.1.0 - at http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1475.
It is a great today plugin which shows appointments, tasks - Very customizeable and I have mine showing appointments up to a week in advance. It work's very well on my HTC Touch Elf WM 6.0. I added the RL Calendar to the same page so that I have a calender above it and appointments showing beneath. All as one page in ultimateLaunch.

I see a lot of smarties here trying to be all ^%$%.
What he is asking for, as well as I need, is to be able to see more upcoming appointments while the TF3D is ON .... got it. Please read before you guys get all smart.
The apps you suggested do not work work, well they do, but do not show up with TF3D ON.
Perhaps there is some registry tweak that can allow to see like today+next 7 days appointments.

Hey buddy. There is no need to get rude. Everyone here is just trying to be helpful, geez. What is your problem.
By the way, the original question was not asking specifically for something that would work while TF3D is on specifically and since I do not have a Diamond, I would have no way of knowing what would work for you or not. I was only pointing to a possible sollution as I am sure everyone else was. Notice in my post I actually metioned working on HTC TOUCH ELF WM 6.0.
Anyway, Good Luck finding what you need.

Anybody knows the answer? Maybe only HTC staff knows. Second Today works but it is just a workaround by adding a today screen so as to avoid the TF3D screen. Like the 2USU thing (a workaround for locking the screen with incoming calls), it's not a clean solution. I don't know what other fellow diamondiers feel, but I want a clear cut solution direct from TF3D, not to switch to another screen/program/interface to get around (and I want to see everything from the TF3D screen even when it's locked and backlight is off and I don't need to unlock the screen and then press another button to see it). But yes, this has been a F-Q but still no A (as in FAQ) yet. It seems to be a real simple issue that most of us will come across and intuitively think it's easy to solve (by a registry tweak or so) but yet no solution comes up yet. It's a bit frustrating....

You seen the movie Tropic Thunder? You know Tom Cruises' part in that, when he talks to the Flaming Dragon guys for the first time through the phone? Well, that's what I'd love to do to you now.
Yes, maybe there is a tweek (sic) that can do that with "TF3D ON" (did you know that the word 'on' is officially written uncapitalised?), and yes, Second Today is a workaround (which by the way, works with TF3D "ON"); however, since topics requesting this functionality for TF3D started back in 1931 you would think that if such a tweek (sic) existed, somebody smarter than you would've found it by now. And seeing this forum now has 869015 members, that makes 869014 members smarter than you - and none of them has ever found this elusive 'tweek' since 1931.
So, yeah, maybe there is. Go find it!

thx sushilange, but i´ve already searched all threads ! i haven´t found a possibility to integrate a calendar with the touchflo3d home screen...
By the way, it would be nice to submit a link instead of beefing...

I would also like to know if theres a way to see at least 3-4 upcomming events in my calnder in the TF3D home screen. Would be super!
Any one for a cup of coffe or 5? Just bring the ap and ill buy you one!...or =)
Kind regards, Per, from Sweden! yeah!

I am also looking forward for this kind of application which show 7 days appointments.
Thanks for your efforts.

It seems to be spanish and the idea is to use SecondToday from http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm.

How about making an app that changes the today screen when you rotate the device?
So when it's in portrait you have TF3d and when it's in landscape you can have Calendar+ or whatever other plugins you want?

Incoming SMS

Hello all, Just wondered, on my Dash, when I got incoming SMS the screen will tunr on and let me see the msg for a while, then go to idle again. on the Snap, its not. I only hear the sound and thats it... any way to change it?

not yet..but im sure with time and reg tweaks we'll figure that out!
also im sure the new rom being cooked by ookba will have a few new added surprises

Yea, it's something under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power. I just cannot recall what. Carefully poke around in there or do some searching about that key and SMS. Good luck!

What can I say, I love this forum!
looking forward, and every day for your new cooked rom

There is an app called SMS Bubble which will allow this.

I have SMS bubble installed but there is no option for that, or at least I didn't find it...
I was also trying to look at the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Power
but cant figure out which one I need

Reducing sms marked as read time

How can I reduce the time that it takes to register my SMS messages as read? Some of my messages are a word or two long and in the time it takes me to read them the phone is still displaying them as new messages as I haven't had them open for the length of time required to register them as read. Any ideas?

i'm sure its something that we can play with in the registry... but i rather leave that in more "capable" hands... lol
but as for now.. i haven't seen anything on our forums come up along those lines... although i do admit that i would also be interested in reducing the time as well... all i really need is 1 sec... i dislike having to wait there on the messaging tab, until the notification goes away....

+1
I'd love something like this. I hate that I get a text that says "yes" and I have to stare at that screen for about 5 seconds for it to be marked as read.

Me too...wouldn't it be a registry change or something within Manila?

bump for this issue. Anyone more knowledgeable have any solution to this?

lets try again. Im sure lots of people know if this is something that takes 2 seconds to change or if it would be tough.

most annoying bit is when ya get a few msgs and ya flck thru em that fast that theres always one that stays "unread" and ya have to open all msgs to find it or else hover over all the ones uv just read till the 1 goes away... vote 1 from me to sort this out, it should go as soon as the text has landed on the screen, and same with emails if anyone can sort that one too lol

+1 from me too! For SMS And Emails too

HKLM/Software/Jataayu/Messaging
MSFTUnreadCountFlag = 5
Mine is set to 5 (seconds) changing that to a lower value will work
good luck

im sure there are better looking apps out there but this one is small and works good imo

Confirmed! Works even without a soft reset! Any possibility of finding a solution for email as well?

use the registry editor to confirm the value has changed. Sometimes, a registry edid might not be saved

nah still no joy, its definatly changed the value tho. hmmm

Doesn't work for me either.

SMS Sent. . . . :-S

Hey all
Im A UK T-mobile user and after the rom update 1.72 everytime I send a sms I get a very enoying sms sent message. . .
is there anyway to stop this . . . .I really hate it

go to Messages> Menu>Settings>Options> Uncheck request delivery report under sms

don't think the OP is taling about an SMS delivery report, its like a notification that stays in your taskbar, i want to keep this there, but for it to disappear after x seconds (say 3)
anyone have any ideas?

yeah thats what I mean the .. and you have to delete it from there. . .its really enoying !!!!
anyone have a solution to make it not appear or yess even stay for a few seconds .. .

i've pretty amateur when it comes to registry and had a quick look but couldnt find anything.
if there is any solutions i'd love to know, 3 seconds will be great to know that the message has sent, without me having to go and dismiss it myself

bump.... can anyone help?

I'm with you on this one! Using the new Vodafone rom - I get the same! Please help.. (I've tried turning off the notifications but no help!)

Same here, it's annoying as anything!
Nobody have a quick fix?

Is there an option to turn it off by going to:
Start/Settings/Menu/All settings/Sounds and Notifications/Notifications then selecting an option from the drop down list and making any changes?
I'm still on the original TMobile Rom so have not tried this on 1.72. If this option isn't in the new Rom I'd be interested to know of another fix before I upgrade myself.

good idea happy snapper but just had a look and if you select 'display on screen' then you can click ok and it disappears, as in the stock rom.
great solution mate and btw, i would upgrade if i were you, it makes so much difference that the stock t-mobile rom

hi jonyid
glad that helped, have you seen this?
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6266385&postcount=126
i've hesitated installing the new rom as i must be one of the few people who so far has had no problems with the stock rom (2 months!) and thats throwing every bit of wm software i've got at it. i will give it a go on my next free sunday morning though

Hey Guys Check this out!!! This is a sure fix
