Today "Dial Lookup" - Do NOT intercept ALWAYS keyboard keys. Is that possible?
Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to get focus on the Dial Lookup plugin ("Type a name or a number") only when I've selected it, so when I type with the keyboard it should "wake him up" only if I've selected it?
It will be useful for me so I'll be able to use my keyboard for SPB Diary too...
Thanks!
PS: I'm using the great WM6!!

just unselect it under settings -> today -> items
its hidden now, but when you type in numbers it will pop up

Thanks but I see that you're not getting what I'm asking... I'm asking if there is any way that the plugin should stay on the today, but that when I type numbers they shouldn't "go" to this plugin only if this plugin is selected (focus...).
It's working that way for all the other plugins, that the keyboard is used for the selected plugin only...
Any idea?

ahh, sorry, now i got.
i have kind a like the same with using pocket breeze. can only use the stylus in the plugin itself.
i dont think this will work, even with reg hack. because even if you deactivate this plugin totally and you type in anything, the regular WM5 contacts search will popup anyway.

Thanks for your reply.. Anyone has an idea how to do it?

SMS defaults to showing on screen

This is my first WM phone so it might not be a Polaris issue. I really don't want that by default incoming SMS is shown on the screen for anyone to read.
Can it be somehow switched off?
Thanks for help

Settings -> Sounds & Notfications -> Notifications tab -> Event: Messaging: New text message -> untick "Display message on screen"
Also page 82 of the printed manual...

Thank you. I must have missed it.
I have another one.
Anyone maybe knows how to shorten the time between ending a call and showing the today screen? I really don't want to block my phone for several seconds.
Thanks.

Help: notifications do not pop-up anymore

Hi!
When you get a SMS or calendar event or battery is running out, you get that "bubble" at the bottom telling about the event. For SMS you get snippet of it and so on.
Some days ago, my TP stopped doing that! I just got a SMS, and it made all the notification sounds and wibrates and I got the icon on top, but not the pop-up. When I click on the icon, I get the black notifications screen, from which I need to click it again, and only then I get the pop-up ballon.
How can I get it back to work as it should?
I've done some changes with Advanced Config, but nothing that relates to that. Nor do I now find anything that could relate to it. Currently I'm questioning if Advanced Config does something else than what it seems to do.... well at least I cannot think of any setting from anywhere that would have changed this.
Do I need to hard reset the phone again?

Firts try to set the default settings back in advanced config and try to use the default skin.
If that don't fix the problem then you could back up your phone, do a hard reset and overwrite the fresh install with the back up you made.

In Settings>Sounds and notifications>Notifications
select the options from the drop down list and tick checkbox next to display message on screen

Duh!
Thanks! Had been there, but didn't see the option as I was too lazy to try to change the notification event.
But I never changed that... so I do not know how it was changed. However, no hard reset needed this time (only one so far... due GPS problems).

It appears there is a relationship with using Advanced Config here

I second that. Advanced Config is the culprit. Uninstall it, re-enable each of your notifications under settings, then do soft reset. When I had Advanced Config Installed, my device just kept unchecking the notifications boxes for no reason. I'd re-enable them and about a day later they would be unchecked again. Uninstalled Advanced Cofig and no more issues.

TocuhFlo 3D Disable Text Sent Notification

I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon with all OEM software still. It is running TouchFlo 3D front end on it. Every time i send a text message the notification pops up saying the message was sent. This is annoying bc it wont let me type anything else till it goes. The notification comes up in a window in the center of the screen and it looks like its from windows mobile not from the touchflo. I look through all the setting and changed tons of things and nothing, i went into the registry and it was already set to disable it but it is still there. I think the touchflo is triggering it even though windows says not to.
does any one no how to turn this off?

Yh,
Search for these two apps here at XDA and install:
netcf3.5 & advanced config 3.3 (install in that order). Once these have been installed go in to advanced config, where you will find a setting to disable sent notifications.
If you merely wish to hide them, you should be able to go to sounds/notifications and untick display message on screen for sent text (although doesnt always do it)

great program! has a lot of nice options that i like.... but all the setting to disable the notification are already set to disable... grrr
i think the touchflo software is somehow overriding the windows setting and making it come up.

ok, i guess its not the touchflo... i closed out of touchflo, rebooted and sent a message and it still gives me the notification, even though all setting say not to and reg setting say not to

Ok i figured it out. When I was searching around i kept coming across this:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox
* Click on Inbox and select Edit -> New Key
* Name the New Key as “Settings“
* Click on “Settings” and select Edit -> New String Value
* On “Value name:“, enter SMSNoSentMsg and in “Value data“, enter 1
* Soft reset your Windows Mobile device and test it with one SMS, and you will notice that the SMS Sent bubble is being disabled
Now when I went to that registry I was already there and already set to "1". The problem I finally found was that it was set as a DWORD and I had to delete it and rewrite it as a STRING. Problem Solved.

Little annoyances with WM 6.5

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.

slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!

Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.

Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.

Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Settings -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms -> "More" tab -> check "Display the clock on the title bar in all the programs".

Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!
