Hi,
Is there any app I can use on my xda2i that will allow me to enter SMS messages on the phone application keypad (or another similar screen keypad) - just like a regular GSM phone. I sometimes find it a right pain takin out the stylus to reply to an sms message.
I would like it if SMS could be send directly from the "phone" app keypad or another similarly styled keypad... you know press number 2 twice for 'B' etc.
Even the SPB fullscreen keyboard is a pain in this situation - just need the numbers and an enter button to enter the text into the messaging app so that you can select recipients or just press send if replying.
A version of spb that worked in portrait with just the number keys would be perfect
Any suggestions ?
Many thanks in advance.
malty.
well, ignore me i'm an idiot..
ive just found the phone pad option on the keyboard prefs and it does EXACTLY what i want
sorry for the waste of a thread !
cheers,
Kev

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

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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
I recently flashed my SPV E650 with a HTC rom (HTC_Vox_ARA_1.27.415.4_4.1.13.47_02.98.90.exe) and almost everything's peachier than it previously was with the ancient Orange ROM which was full of awful bugs. I have one minor problem however, I cannot input text! When I try to input text (browser, text message, contact name) via both the numeric keypad or the qwerty keyboard I just this oblong character, like a square O basically. I've seen this character before but only in code ie when you open a non text file in a text editor, a JPEG for example. I can get numbers just fine, both from the numeric pad from the keyboard, and I can get characters such as !,.& etc (I need to hold the function key to get these) from the qwerty, but alas no letters at all.
Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
While writing SMS, push and hold "*" button, and choose "ABC" mode or change language.
Aha! You are a star, thank you intensely. The input was in Arabic, the old regional settings trick at work has back fired on me, stupid boy! Thanks again matrix
hey guys.
i'm usin Dr. G's wm6.1 v1.1 rom.
can anybody tell me how to change something on the main screen.
when i get a new message, if i scroll down to message slider, the new message is displayed. how can i change the right function key to "delete", instead of "compose". so that i dont have to open the new message, and i can just delete it from the message slider.
sometimes instead of "compose", "message" is displayed. but when i press it, i get taken to contacts. weird.
thanks hey.
only help in this sec will be through the registry
search for CHome in the reg and from there you will fined the answer
i did it once before
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"
