What i want to do: Left key= drop down start menu, Right key= file explorer
However what happens is i get the start menu on the left soft key but i only get the file explorer on the right soft key for maybe one/two presses and after that its sets itself to launch Today. Is this normal, i.e do you have to have one of them set as Today? Please help. Thanks.
happens with my phone too...as soon as i reboot or switch panels my left key becomes left softkey and the right becomes today again...
i made an override with AE Buttons...
it seems u r using TF3d.
I have the same p, but for me AE Buttons dont't show the left or right softkeys? Have anyone solved this? It would be really great!!!
P.S.: Happy new year!!!

i do have the panel installed yes...why? does this cause this problem? ty
I have heard of a number of people that use TF3D have issues with the softkeys resetting to default. I personally don't use TF3D and have no issues with my custom softkey mappings.
Glad it's not just me experiencing this issue.
I've got a friend with an X1 with almost exactly the same software installed (TF3D also), he doesn't appear to be having the same issue.

Hi , I would like to know if anybody figured out when sending an email or SMS how to go from "To:" to the actual message you will type without touching the screen ?
The Tab key didn't work for me .
Doesn't the down arrow do it? Works for me.
V
Both Tab and the Down arrow work for me. Just tried.
Press Message button to go to Pocket Outlook.
Tap LHS soft key to select New
Type first few letters of contact's name.
When number is suggested, press down arrow to select number.
Press Enter to fill in the number.
Press Tab to move to message area.
Type message
nope it doesn't on my xda exec, if I press the down arrow, the scroll bar will go down but the cursor is still on the "to:"
I dont' have a scrollbar anywhere on the New Message screen. I'm running in VGA landscape mode though. Maybe that's the difference.
Doesn't Tab work?
nope the tab + down key didn't work, it will go down on the scroll bar but the cursor will still be on on the "to:"
You said you were on VGA landscape mode, is it with ozvga ? or did you have asetting on the phone itself ?

Yeah - it's OzVGA.
Man, it would be really annoying if I had to use the stylus to create SMS. This is the biggest benefit for me: Doing (almost) everything in the system using only the keyboard. I hope you find a solution soon.
yeah, I just have to use my dirty fingers to put the cursor in the right place :?
One quick question, I have some app like wisbar/ netfront 3.3 in VGA already, if I install ozvga will it miss it up or they will still look the same ?
Or maybe there is only one way to find out.... :wink:
If you're using WA2 with OzVGA, you'll have to switch to a QVGA version of your Wisbar theme, otherwise it'll all go very weird. Not too much of a problem though, it just takes up a bit more space in your Themes folder having two versions of the same theme, and you need to switch them manually in WA2 when you switch resolutions.
This is because the system uses 96dpi (QVGA) icons, toolbars, fonts, etc, etc when running OzVGA.
thanks, I'll have a go.
still playing with it, just wait on an update so the phone can have a decent response time, miss my xdaIIs for that but, it is another subject 8)
Still love it BTW!
jeux_1, i have the same exact issue. It was driving my pretty crazy, but it helps to know someone else has this issue. Have you found a fix?
For the last three weeks, I was using the keyboard to write SMS, and my TAB key was moving the cursor from 'To' to the body of the message...
And now, suddenly, it does only a scroll down, like the down arrow, but stay in the 'To' field... :?
Any idea :?: it's really annoying....
Does anybody have an idea about that :?:
I think it is a bug for the O2 EXEC, my friend have an Orange one and work works fine.
I don't think there is a solution and it is a bug on the O2 one. Any of you guys can confirm ?
There is as well a new guy with a new Rom I will ask him if he has the same issue.
Actually, I use a Qtek 9000, different ROM
And it was working for at least three weeks... and now, it does'nt work anymore... smth changed, but I cannot find out what
here goes my theory..... :?
Ok, I found the solution.... my TAB key works again..
The problem came from Tweaks2k2 .NET, version 3.15... as soon as I apply changes with it, the TAB behavior changes... :evil:
Ok well, my phone has just starting have a problem!
When i press the button to bring up the phone app, and i want to use the down or up button to go down my list it does asbelow:
Up = Speed Dail
Down = Call History
Right = Contacts
Left = Messaging
I am using the Phone app from the WM6 rom by faria
Can anyone help, me work out how come this is doing it now!!! I have not changed anything!!!
It has smartskey installed. That is y it is behaving like this.
This is the function of smartskey, you can remove this setting by editting the smartskey.ini you'll get it in windows folder.

You really should use smartskey, makes the wizard easily 1 hand operable. (if you hold down the right softkey it clicks the top right corner (usually X or OK), or u can hold the left softkey and it clicks the Start) And it was installed in the WM6.0 cooked rom by faria.

Hey guys,
As the title says Ive got a very annoying problem with my xperia. Problem is that the right function keys (silver one) assigned action always changes from "right function key" to "Today" upon restart.
Id like to not do a hard-reset if possible. Anyone got any suggestions how to make sure it sticks with what action I assign to it?
Cheers

sounds to me like the assignment isn't "sticking" in the registery and goes away after restart. try a registery editor and manually assign the key to the program you want.

i have the same problem. do you have tf3d installed ?
yes I do have tf3d installed. which registry key should I change?
I have the same problem. In addition to tf3d I installed the cab that enables to make a panel out of it. Help?
Use AEBPlus to re-assign the key(s). For each hard keys, you get 4 different actions. You will appreciate what u can do with the hard keys!
Also mine after installed touchflo3d.
Guys, remove TF3d! We have a Xperia, X-panel is more than enaught.

doesn't work in my x1. something keeps changing the registry value back ... :-(
yep I had this problem too when I installed TF3D. In the end I uninstalled it because I wanted the right button mapped to voice command and it got annoying having to remap it after every soft reset
if someone has successfully stopped it automatically setting it to "today" please tell us how
I am using Touch-HD Manilla instead of TF3D and don't have this problem. Why not use Touch-HD Manilla instead? From what I read, this is faster than TF3D.

Yes, am using Manilla HD Full. Also installed the T3FD panel, but later removed it.
I am on ROM 1.02 (was on ROM 1.01 also) by Jack Leung, AEBPlus works on both with Manilla HD Full installed. Didn't bother to install the panel.
I have Touch HD,but I also have this problem,why...
Just curious, are you on the original rom?
I understand some ROMs, the email signature also doesn't get saved. Wonder if this is a related issue.
I have a problem where no matter how many times i change the program/function of the right soft key in settings>buttons>program buttons it will allways turn back to the default (Today Screen)
I want it to be rotate screen 270 <rotate screen> for my tomtom!!!
The left soft key works fine, it is assigned to <start menu>
HHHMMM???

Well there must be at least 5 posts on the same subject. ALL with the same answer which is TouchFlo changes the right softkey.
ok i found the answer and it is the is no way to change it when touch flo is installed
The right hand side hard button - this has been mapped to 'HTC Home' as for some reason, the same hardware key on the Blackstone is actually 'Home'. Although this is a problem, some people have requested that I leave it as it is a nice way of going to the home screen. Others want me to try and remove the mapping so it works according to what the softkey above it says. Shall we vote on this?

Hey, how did you get the soft key mapped to the start menu?
I used the advanced configuration tool, but it does not show the start menu.
Could you help me out?

Hi to all,
I have a question....
On Blackstone we have two custom buttons the home button and the back arrow button
now pressing the home button is like go to desktop in normal windows terminology.
But are we able to change the back arrow button to toggle (alt+tab) between applications.
i mean it partially does that when appication are on the screen but it doenst do anything when applications are running in background..like for e.g. say...i have explorer and wmplayer open then i press the home button..they ll be minimized in the taskmgr but back arrow is not usable in this case.
I think that ll make life very eazy for ppl who have bunch of applications running and needs to switch between them...as the taskmgr on the main screen is usually slow responding and again it saves clicks...if u know wat i mean..
thanx to everyone in advance..
Check MobileMagic, you can do that with this tool as far as I remember.

Check out WkTask - it display all running apps on the top bar the way Windows does on the taskbar on the PC! Just tap one of the icons and you switch to that app!
Hi guys ..thanks for the replies...tried both of the softwares ...MobileMagic..is not able to offer taskswitch function...and wktask is gr8 but messes up my keyboard font...its strange..any workaround ? i am using htc full qwerty keyboard.
Just download Spb PocketPlus, install it, go to the installation folder, find the file called AltTab.exe, save it.
You can uninstall P+ then and assign the "Back" button to launch AltTab.exe. But you will need AEButton+
This is how I live with my Touch HD

I guess I remembered it incorrectly, Alt+Tab action does not exist in MobileMagic, it is available in AE Button Plus.
Also there is no need for the AltTab.exe of SPB Pocket Plus, AE Button Plus is enough to accomplish this.
However, AltTab.exe might provide a better user experience, I will try it anyway.
Try TaskFacade!

That's odd... What exactly is getting messed-up? Could you upload a screenshot?
I've never had any problems using WkTask - and I have used it on pretty much every ROM I had on my HD!
BTW: I use the same keyboard you are using... no problems!
I've tried TaskFacade but it crashes on me ALOT and I can't seem to map it very well with AEButton.I wanted to map it to long 'Back' but it never works.
I don't have a HD (yet), so I don't know if this will work for sure...
But I use a little free app called HButton on my XDA Orbit (Artemis?), which allows as many functions as you like on one button (by holding the button down until the required function/app appears).
This also includes a task switcher function.
Worth a try.
Hi Guys thanx for the replies again...
by messed up i mean the text on the htc sip keyboard is like times new roman in normal (not bold tahoma) and it looks ugly...i have tried removing the application and it still is the same...can anyone upload the default font cab
thanx
