Hi there,
One issue has been bothering me since my Wizard times until now: the lack of a calendar button on the "connected" page during a call. Many times I find myself fumbling with the stylus while in call to open the calendar in order to schedule or postpone a meeting. Am I the only one in this case? I couldn't find anything on the forum dealing with this. I'd be grateful if someone could point me to a solution even if possible reassign another button like contacts,note... beside reassigning a hardware button ( these are very rare on an Elfin ).
Thanks

hi friends of the net,
help pleeeease.
when i go into go into calendar i get numbers come up and not letters when the key pad is closed, if i open phone to type on key padi can get the letters, if any numbers have been entered already the numbers do not delete and i have to press the home key and then go back to it again before it lets me write anything, this also happens in internet explorer! after this has happened if i try to access contacts via home page or via menus it does not let me access them.
also my i bar/cursor vanishis sometimes when i am in text messaging.
tried factory reset and it still happens, also had a new phome sent out and the new one does the same!!!! assume its software fault on many phones.
Can you vox owners try these out...
This is regarding my friends phone, member - Wezog. Ive taken a look at the phone and im just wondering if any of you guys out there have these problems?
1 - Make sure your phone is closed (qwerty keyboard is hidden away), using the right soft key or by going into the start menu select the calendar application.
Once in here start typing an appointment, do you find that you have numbers appearing instead of letters?
Its as tho you cannot type any appointments using the keypad, but you have to open up the e650 and use the qwerty keyboard to enter information.
Do you HTC owners get the same problem or is it just the Orange e650 owners, or is it just my friend being unlucky? (being his 2nd phone to do exactly the same thing - hes let orange know about this but apparently has to decide what he wants to do)
2 - Once youve tried the Calendar above, exit out of it and then try and select CONTACTS as tho you were going to call someone either by using the left soft key or by actually going into Contacts in the start menu.
Do you find that Contacts dont display and nothing comes up? My mate has to then soft reset his phone to get things back to normal again.
Thanks in advance for your help, its very appreciated.
Cheers

Frankly - actions like creating an appointment is why I chose a phone with a QWERTY keyboard after all
But for the sake of your test I tried to create an appointment on my closed Vox and it worked.
Pressing a pad key repeatedly scrolls through its lowercase letters + the number, starting with the first letter. The *-key switches between lowercase and uppercase.
Contacts open and work normally after closing the Calendar.
I have an unbranded HTC S710 with the original ROM.
The behaviour you describe is definitely weird. And it happens also after a "Clear Storage" / Hard Reset ?
Hi,
For the last two days on my Polaris, whenever the letter recogniser appears, it comes right to the bottom of the screen so there is nowhere to press to get rid of it, has anyone else had this and how is it fixed?
Ta
**Bump** No one??
It's a problem with PocketCM, which is being discussed on their forums at the moment. ( http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?15,8688 )
A workaround is to change the following registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\DragStyle -> 1
This makes the SIP draggable. Otherwise, a reboot will return the SIP to the right place until the next time you write an SMS in PocketCM...
Thanks very much for your help! Didn't realise it was PocketCM messing things up
Hey guys,
I'm clearly a newbie here, been so for sumtime trying to learn while looking for tweaks and solutions, and I've been trying not to post so that I don't stupidly ask answered questions but unfortunately I have a problem that I need urgent fix. I've tried to search but haven't found what I need.
So here it is:
When I receive calls, the caller id and number seemed to be crunched together and unreadable under 1 line instead of usual 3 or 4. So I cant see who is calling me or from which number. This is rather important for my business to decide who to ignore and who to address properly.
I hope somebody can help me fix this.
For added info, I have made few registry changes and the last ones involve changing soft keys 112 and 113, and also installing HTC action screen before this problem.
Thanks guys!
I've never heard of this problem occuring, but I would recommend you skip stright to it and hard reset your PDA.
Backup all your files by connecting your PDA to your computer and copying over all the files you want to backup.
To backup all your PIM data (appointments, contacts, messages, call logs, speed dials and tasks) use a program called PIM Backup - details of this program can be found on this thread - Click Here
To hard reset a HTC Polaris, insert your stylus into the softreset hole and press it whilst pressing the 'Windows' and 'OK' buttons. Let go of the buttons 1-2 seconds after taking out the stylus. The send button is the green pickup call button, which you will be required to press to confirm you want to go ahead with the hard reset.
Hope this helps
I was hoping I didn't need to resort to that but I guess if that's the quickest easiest way.
Thanks for your help!!
Btw, which buttons do you mean by "windows button" and "Ok button" ??
Sorry thats the only thing I can advise you to do, but at least you will know that its probably the second best thing to do (apart from re-flashing the ROM).
Regarding the 'Windows' and 'OK' buttons, it is my bad that you probably cannot find them - the XDA Orbit 2 has these buttons, but the HTC Polaris has the 'GPS' and 'Internet Explorer' buttons instead. Basically, they are the two buttons under the pickup and hangup buttons.
Attached is a picture which may help you further.
Hope you get this problem sorted out.
I searched for about 30 minutes before posting this.. in both diamond and touch pro forums and all over here.. I figure this is a common issue, but still found nothing.
Is there any way to lock the touch screen during a call? I keep doing things with my cheek. I've written notes, assigned pictures to contacts, etc.!!! It's getting old. Anyway to fix that???
Press the standby button.
I intsalled the reg edit No_Sleep_Raph this stops the phone going into standby for voicemail or phone banking.
The phone will blank the screen depending on the power settings I have or standbye button.
If I accpet a call I normally press teh answer button and while putting it to my ear press the standby button
That maybe a solution...
I would think they would've done something like the treo phones..
They've got a setting to lock the screen during a phone call until you press a physical button... Or something like that. Worked great.
How difficult it would be to program something like that?
Have you tried this?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425650
I haven't tried that yet. From what I read it seems like it will be good for not answering the phone inside your pocket... I didn't see anything about it locking
during a call... But I may have overlooked that, and I would assume it is one of the settings.
Can anyone confirm whether this program will allow you to lock the screen during a call and allow you to unlock it with a physical button?
Sorry, can't help you with that as it doesn't seem to work with the latest ROMeOS rom but IIRC you had to remove the stylus in order to use the touchscreen.
wrong post, sorry.
Hi,
I'm on a Topaz with WinMo 6.5 Hebrew enabled but English interface.
Lately the number keys in the phone application are shifted one row down. I mean' when I press a number, the phone thinks I pressed the number one row below that. (i.e. If I press the place showing 5, an 8 will be dialed)
Oddly the "TALK" button and the "backspace" arrow button next to it do function normally, as does the whole screen in any other application.
My verbal explanation is not so clear, so please see the attachment. A screenshot with explanatory text.
Any idea what could have caused this? or how to fix it?
I was thinking about removing and re-installing the phone application, but don;t know how to do that, so any help in that direction would also be welcome.
Thanks!

What is the right forum for this question?
It really bothers me, so really want to solve it.
