Acer DX900 italian version - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
I own the terminal in question (DX900 VER A147 ITA 040 0502 2009/03/04 12:42). As I imagine you know, this is a DualSIM Phone.
Currently, my main problem is to assign to a key the ability to make as "main" a SIM rather than another.
To do this, on the phone, you must press a key sequence and have a few menu items choices:
Phone (left softkey),
Menu (right softkey),
Down (via the correspondig key on the key pad)
Enter (via the central key on the key pad)
At this point, you have the ability to choose which SIM to activate, the first one (first line above) or the second one (second bottom line).
I tried to achieve this through MortScript and I have succeeded. However, firstly the process is rather slow (I had to insert a pause of 250ms between the various commands to get it to work correctly), secondly the process does not happen in background and finally the process works only on the "today" screen.
Someone has any advice about it, whereas I am not very familiar with programming?
Thanks in advance.

Since "...help yourself that God help you...", "...aiutati che Dio t'aiuta..." (Italian), "...aide toi et le ciel t’aidera..." (French) , I wrote this little program, which I called "SIM_Switch" and which is used precisely to instantly change the main calling SIM.
Just map it on an hardware button and on every press of that button, the main calling SIM change instantly from "SIM 1" to "SIM 2" and vice versa.
No "Pop-up", no "Message Box": just have a look at the Today screen and see how the color of the Operator name of the active SIM change from white to orange, and vice versa, indicating the active calling SIM change.

Wizard WM6 - Change phone softkeys function

Hey,
been having a problem with WM6 on my wizard. A certain program that i must install causes the phone left softkey to be stuck on "contacts" (instead of "hide keypad" and "show keypad"). this is a major problem since when I call a service or an operator, I need to push buttons, but I can't get to the keypad during a call.
Is there anyway to change that? (registry, program, other)
Thanks a lot for any help.

does anyone have a screenshot of the 750 with the htc home plug in

just curious?
Looks cool
HTC home screen plug in looks amazingly good on the 750 and functionally is one of my favorites plug ins (stylus free operation). Unfortunately, it partially screws up 750 hardware buttons assigned functions. For example, to to hang up a call you have to press OK button instead of red power on/off, to place a call you have to press central "select" button instead of green "call". Soft keys are OK.
I guess the plug in is originally designed for Hermes, worked fine on my previous 8525.
Treo 750 with HTC Plugin
1. Install WM6 ATT ROM Update.
2. Install HTC Plugin Install.
3. Enable "Dial Lookup" and "HTC Home" Plugins.
4. Enable "Hide lookup Field" Option from Menu -> Preferences.
5. Modify a value on the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home\Type
and change the value of "type" to 4.
6. Modify a value on the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Dial Lookup\Type
and change the value of "type" to 4.
This enabled you to move "Dial Lookup" plugin above "HTC Home" plugin.
7. Goto
HKLM/software/microsoft/shell - new dword ShowTitleBarClock with value=1
This will force the clock to show instead of two battery icon on the top bar.
Enjoy.

Can't seem to get the second battery off. There was already a ShowTitleBarClock on the directory specified. Whatto do? NEVERmind Reset device now gone. thanks I was looking for the 5 tab already had the 3 tab thanks alot.
Can someone build a cab with the latest 5 tab HTC Home screen with the reg edits already applied? If someone sends me the appropriate files/reg entries, I am happy to build the cab...I dont even have a Treo - doing this for a friend!

also when I go to change my weather city there is no cities to choose from. It never populates. Hoe can I change my city in the accuweather app?
Anyone able to fix the hardware button issue or do the registry edits correct it?
This HTC homescreen just looks sick on the 750! I want to try it.
Anyone able to uninstall it?
HR will do it - got a question for the experts though - does this app interfere with com ports at all - I found that after installing this plugin my BT GPS couldnt connect to my 750v - or maybe its coincidence?
How can I remove "phone status" plugin (displaying network name, BT,CF status...) from screen? After installing HTC plugin I have HTC,status plugin and dial lookup, and cannot remove the second one.
Thanks
Can this go on just the newist treo out? not the palm but the one supporting WM6?
I like the HTC home plugin but I cannot use hidelogo at the same time...so one line at the top is burned by the ATT carrier logo. If you click on hidelogo you go into a loop of resets.
This thing is great. But I have a problem. For some reason the screen will not go blank when the "End call" button is pressed (Tried other buttons as well but nothing will turn it off). In fact the screen will not go black for about 10-15 sec. Anyone know why this would happen? Thanks
The quick dial does not let me choose which number to dial on a contact. ie. cell, home, work. Anyway to fix that?

HTC DIAL WM 6.1 - Action Button

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.

Each button needs a unique assignment

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?

Question Access Engineer Mode on S22 Ultra

Anyone know how to enable the Engineer Mode on the S22 Ultra?
The standard Android shortcut key *#*#3646633#*#* doesn't work, and the other suggestion of going to the Service Menu and typing "Q0" in key entry doesn't work either.
Thanks.
This seems to be a solution posted on XDA but I cannot get it to work? I assume that's the upper case letter Q and lower case letter o I'm supposed to type? I type it into the box but it just takes me back to the SERVICE MENU with BASIC INFORMATION, [1] SIM INFORMATION [2] SIM state is not ready.
"Open the dial pad and enter *#0011#A window will pop up saying you've entered 'Service Mode'Click on Key Input (on the right hand corner of the screen)Enter the 'Qo' key. "
looks more like Q0
in "words" QZero
I've tried every combination of the letter Q and number Zero, as well as the letter O and nothing works. Can you try to see on your phone?
See this post for how to access service menu (engineering mode).
Wow! Seems complicated but will give it a go. Thanks!
