I saw another post about this, but couldn't find it again, sorry...
In HTC WM 6.1, when you press "Call" (green) button and dial to look through your contacts, when you get to the contact you want and press "action" button it starts a call.
Previously, in WM 6, "action" button" would open the contact so you can see contact's phone numbers. Only if you pressed the Call button over the contact it would place the call.
I remember somebody answered that in WM 6.1 you could still browse through the contact numbers using the "right" and "left" buttons of dial pad. But this way you don't see the numbers, just see if it is "work", "home", "pager" numbers etc.
I do want to OPEN the contacts when pressing "action" button as sometimes you need to consult numbers. Summing up, I want it to work as in WM 6.
Is there a registry change to make it work? I would appreciate any help on this. Thanks.
I'm not sure what you mean. When you click on the green button, you go see the dialers. There are two types of dialers, the HTC and the windows mobile. The HTC one has the one which you can press right left to get Cell Work Home and see the numbers when you highlight it. The other one is the normal one which you don't see the numbers. This isn't a change in WM6.1. It's just using the different type of dialer. You can use Schaps advance configuration to change the dialer to windows mobile or HTC.
Thanks. I am talking about the HTC dialer. I attached an image (38_screen).
As you said "the HTC one has the one which you can press right left to get Cell Work Home and see the numbers when you highlight it" (if you enabled "Automatically expand selected contact" on smart dialing options, otherwise it appears the contact's name and besides just w, h, p...).
But, in WM 6 when you highlight the contact you have to press the "green" button to start the call. If you press the "action" button it "opens the contact" as in the second picture (pc_capture).
In WM 6.1 if you press "action" or "green" the result is the same: the call starts.
The behavior in Wm 6 is more convenient because you use the same procedure to reach the contact to either place a call or to search/edit your contacts.

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
Is there a way to make a shortcut from the scrollwheel,so you just have to press the wheel to get in to the last called numbers list?
Would be much more easy to make call with one hand..
Sorry for my bad english
If you press the green phone button, you will pull up and be able to redial the last number you called.
OMG are you kidding me push the GREEN TALK BUTTON and the last call is right there then push the GREEN TALK BUTTON AGAIN and thats it.. So a total of 2 yes a whole 2 button pushes.....
Is it just the last number or do you get a list with numbers ?
Sorry...I dont have a TyTn II myself..Just tested a friends.
Edit
I want to go direct to the list with all my last called numbers,not just the last.
You now what i mean ?
Im not so good at english :-/
on my 8525 there was a box on my dialpad that listed all recent calls, right from the dialer you could scrool down to select any previous number in the order they were called. i believe this is what the poster is talking about. i can not remember what it was called but i would like it on the tilt as well, it basically replaced the standard smart dialer with one that listed call history. anyone have this?
Green Phone button - Up on the 4 way pad
That will get you to the recent call list - 2 buttons pressed
Ok..Thanks
nice tip, thanks!
(And by the way, it's the left or down key to get to Speed Dial.) However, one problem is neither of those works if the keypad isn't showing and you just have the Call History and other buttons up there (with Keypad being the left soft key option). Anyone know if there's a reg hack to make the keyboard stay up there permanently? Thanks.
Also, with the keyboard displayed, you can use the scroll wheel up to get last called, or scroll wheel down to get speed dial numbers.
I had a weird thing happen,...
The hangup button will not shut the screen off until you add, then remove the additional "Inbox, messaging, and calendar" today items. Once they have been added, then removed, you can now push the hangup button to make the screen go off. A slight annoyance for a fresh install, but easily fixable.
Now I've got an issue with the Dial Lookup... The phone died (out of batteries) and now, instead of Dial Lookup, I have "Tasks" The actual Dial Lookup item IS Tasks.. it's the weirdest thing ever. If I have only the Dial Lookup and Tasks for my Today screen, I have 2 Tasks..
Any Idears?
WM6, using the HTC Home "Plugin"
the tasks bit happened to me. I fixed it by changing the value of the "type" in the registry back to 4.
I also noticed with HTC X-Button (only v1.5 would behave) it would keep the Send button from working. Couldn't bring up the dial pad, had to enter the contact's name with dial-lookup and press the select button to call out.
So instead of X-Button (which I love on my HTC 8525) I put Magic Button on my Treo 750 and it seems to work fine.
i have the same problem with HTC home plugin.
and also with magic button (after 2 days using it).
uninstall didnt fix the problem. I had to hard reset the device to make my send button and the hang up button working properly again.
On a certain moment I assigned the left down button, (in Hold), to a specific program.
When trying to change it back I am blocked:
While trying to leave the program I get this " Each program button must have a unique button assignment. Please select a different button assignement."
But I have no idea how the settings were/should be and I can only reset the TP . Normal exiting is impossible.
The top 5 buttons only have the just name "button" on it and the third has the text "today" behind it.
The last ( sixth) button is assigned to a program and has the name "button 1(hold)
All the others have: "context menu" written behind them.
So my question is:
What are the settings for the buttons?
Huib
i have the same problem, so i choose for the four "button" names for each another assignment. After that have no problem with HTC

Can you tell me what assignments you gave them. I have no idea which one to pick.
Or is it irrelevant?

Hi friends
i noticed, each time if i want to send a message, i've to go to message-> selecting the account->and then new.
And what abt recently used numbers.. Each time have to select from contacts
I love this phone.. but why this phone lacks these basic stuffs
You can also start typing the number or the name (i.e 5->6->4->6 for John) on the home screen and switch left or right to SMS (txt) and then press the click on it, it will open the messaging app and you can start texting that person! Just a little tip
Otherwise look for AEButton which can assign a function to every hardware key!
Also, when you are in the messaging app and the "to" field is highlighted, just start typing the name, just like I told you above and a popup will open with all the possible names!
