How to delete call histroy/log when press the phone button? - Palm Treo 750

There must be a log file that records the call history and display it when you hot the green call button. I want to delete the list. I clear the call log when the history still shows. I tried search the registry and couldn't find any trace.
Anyone can shed some lights?

You want to delete the phone numbers in general or remove the call log from the phone all together?
just want to be able to erase them when I want
When you're in call log you press right softkey and there's an option to clear list (I don't write literally what's there, cause I left my Treo in another room .
treo 750/cingular - not regular call log. I'm talking about the list that shows up when you press the talk button there isn't a option to clear that list.
750 has 2 call logs
#1) WM default which is easily deleted
#2) The List that appears when you hit the green talk button.

To delete #2 [or reset it] do the ff steps:
1. look for palmVol.vol in your devices' root dir
2. delete it and soft reset [if you don't soft reset call log will be reset but won't list new calls you make]
3. your call log will be cleared after this

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.

Help me to configure Long_AP2

Ok, so I just realized that it's very troublesome to compose a new SMS, have to go to the inbox, press right soft key, press left joystick, press down joystick to select SMS and then start composing
So I got an idea to configure the Messaging button on Tornado Noble to point to the compose SMS straight away. I did some google, and found the attribute to the tmail.exe application.
So I tried to create a shortcut named Long_AP2.lnk, in it contain this line
19#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
I saved it and transferred it to my phone, but it don't seem to work, feeling that my attribute might be wrong, I saved it as Short_AP2 and put into my phone, it works and by pressing the SMS button, it opens SMS composer straight away.
So the question is, why can't I get it to work on Long_AP2? Or the file name is supposed to be something else?
I also want to ask, what i that number 19 at the beginning of the line, hardware keys?
I think that the LONG_AP1.lnk activates when you hold the button for a few seconds.
Lol, I know that for sure,
I want to make long hold to activate compose sms, but short press to inbox
Anyone can help me? This is for our own good
keybddr.dll didn't support Long_AP2.
These aren't attributes. Attributes are what tell us whether or not file is hidden, read only etc...
These are parameters or switches.
I don't understand why you need to use a parameter to make tmail.exe open with a blank text message. Unless mine is broken, that's what it does by default. (In fact, I think mine is screwed up... wtf?)
Have you considered using mortscript?
andot:
If keybddr.dll doesn't support long_ap how is the media player supposed to use this for FFW in music/video?
I think it's supposed to support it.
I mixed up, it should be arguments
At default, it opens the inbox, not the blank text message
Long_AP2
With "AE Button Plus" you can map simple, double, triple and long click to one key.
This is a very usefull utility !
you need to modify the registry keys to use AEB Plus with the multimedia keys.

Hmm, I don't like to install additional cab to do simple stuff, perhaps find out what registry changes it does, and incorporate into a cab which installs the button, ill chk it out later

I fixed it. Don't know how it broke, but it works as you describe.
Is there no way to make a text version of a mailto: shortcut?
Good that you fixed it, but hope we can have 2 purpose with a button
short hold for inbox, long hold for sms
as you know, with Wm6, composing sms is even more troublesome compared to wm5

Text Message alert soft buttons

Sorry if this is an easy fix, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere. When I get a new text message, the soft button on the left comes up as "reply" (the right is menu) is there a way to change this to "view" as sometimes I don't want to reply to a text, but do want to view the whole message.
Also, is there a way to add a shortcut (or change one of the soft buttons on the today screen) to start a new text message?
Thanks
intresting question got the same problem
I would like this too!
Check out this thread:

You basically should create a new shortcut as a program that has the command to invoke a new SMS. You can then use something like Schap's Advanced Config Tool to assign that shortcut to one of the soft keys. You can also assign it to one of the hardware buttons if you want.
You should also try searching. If you type "new sms shortcut" you will get many links to the solution.
Thanks, but that doesn't solve the main problem, in that when I get a new sms, the notification window comes up, and the left soft button is "reply" and the right is "menu" (which does not have a view option) so to view the message, I have to get rid of the notification, go into messaging, and then open the message. What I'd like to be able to do is when the new sms notification comes up, I'd like the left soft button to be "view" so I can just hit that and go straight to the message.
If the entire message is visible in the notification window it doesn't give you an option to "View", that's when you get "Reply". If you get a really long text message that doesn't completely show in the notification window, the "Reply" button will be a "View" button that will take you into Messaging to view the entire message. I'm not sure how to always have it be the "View" button.
gringolian, if you find something to change the reply to view, then let me know!

Cannot Copy/Paste/TextSelect in Messages

Hello I have TD2 with stock rom and I suddenly lost option in Messaging menu (right soft key) to select text. Also copy and paste are missing now.
Is there any registry key to fix that or any other solution?
BTW when I long tap on a text there is Copy Paste, but Select Text is missing.
THANK YOU
Yep same problem here, very annoying!
go with stylus on the text and hold to have the menu"make selection"

Copy & Paste from phone screen

When people ask me to text them a phone # the easiest way would be to go to the phone screen and copy and paste it to a text. For some reason I can't find an easy way to do this, any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Open up a contact, menu button, send contact.
Sent from my brain
Not looking to send the whole contact, just the phone number. The number I was trying to forward was not a contact #.
you could go to contact - edit-copy, then paste that in the text mess. not sure if it's the fastest way though.
Open up the contact, Edit it (Menu > Edit) then you can Copy the number as normal. Worked for me earlier when copying e-mail addresses.
Oh, well just bash out the number on your dialer then long press on the number and select all, copy
Sent from my brain
Or, from the dialler go into call history, long press on the number, then select 'Copy Number' from the menu.
