Can anyone please tell me how to change the contact photo to a simple professional picture? I do not have face book, dont want to individually change all 400 contacts but I cannot find any solution. I really would like to resolve this without rooting. To summarize I want to change the little droid guy to something normal and professional by default.

Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add new words to the dictionary/predictive text?
I'd quite like to know this too.
Hello,
After upgrading to WM6, I found when viewing SMS messages that the left softkey no longer gave the option new, just delete.
I put together this little shortcut which will send you straight to a new SMS.
I then mapped the shortcut to the now defunct video call button.
Download and unzip the attached file. Copy the extracted file to somewhere on you device (I put in in \Windows\AppButtons) and then edited the following registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2
amending Default from "\Windows\AppButtons\Video Call.lnk" to "\Windows\AppButtons\New SMS.lnk" (you will need to amend this to wherever you put the New SMS.lnk file)
Hope that helps, but you are amending and playing with your phone/registry so I take no responsibility for anything you mess up!
Sorry if this is a known resolution, but I hadn't seen anything specifically in this forum, and not one with a complete solution.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the little tool. I was wondering if the 'Delete' option could be turned into the old 'New' setting without loosing the video call button?
AFAIK No!
I've searched the forums and nobody seems to have an answer for this. I can't find where in the registry to edit either (I'm no expert of registry settings)
This seems like the only option for now. I think the softkeys in the mail app are hardcoded, so would need someone with more ability than I to take apart the tmail.exe file and make the required alterations. Still after nearly a year of ownership I've never used the video call button, and find it handy to be able to go to a new sms from anywhere on the device. Maybe this will be addressed in a future build of WM6? Or possibly someone will give the option of either NEW / DELETE...
Well.. Thank you for the workaround.
I'm looking for a solution, too.
I HATE that "delete" button, it's really boring!
Please help me!
Hi!
Please help to me! i want to create a shortcut send SMS in PPC, but i don't know how to do that? (example: send "GPRS +" to 8125 by SMS)
Many thanks
1. I don't understand what you want to do.
2. This is the forum for the HTC Universal device, judging by your username, you'd be better asking your question here
(anyone else think that HTC has made life a little complicated calling one of their models the UNIVERSAL...)
try vjphonetools do a search on the forums
Please help me!

There is a program called BlackMe.
It's a program that turns off your screen into a standby mode:

Does someone knows a tutorial how to make this or does someone just knows how to make this and wants to learn me how to make one by myselve?
I apreciate it alot if you reply to this post.
Thanks alot.

Hey thanks for a reply, but I really don't know how to do this? can someone give me a hand on this, i would really like that
Thanks, Dirk
Hi this isnt too hard to make but why would you want to? whats wrong with the program as it is?
also why do you want to use this software? what senarios?
when phone is in screen off mode, which i think is all this does the phone uses loads more battery than in standby.
tell me what you want the app to do and ill point you in the right direction.
also what exactly are you asking for ? are you making a program that needs to do similar stuff to this? what language are you planning to use?
*** EDIT ***
I see your other post here

what the godefroi suggests is exactly what your after, it is a c++ function which allows you to set the phones power state. do a search for that method and you should be able to find some code.
the code godefroi has given comes from c# code so try copy and pasteing the whole thing into google if your using c#
I recently purchased a htc snap S523, i have the same question that a lot of people have asked, re LED notification time out. I understand changing some of the values in the registry files may fix this, but the big question is, how do you access the registry files to make those changes.
I ve searched the net trying to find registry editing software, but no good, i dont mind if i have to pay for it but can someone please recommend a trusting website?

Thank you,

Is there a way to increase the size of fonts in the contact menu , its so small and in sunlight you cant see it at all, I have 20/20 vision and I cant see it , is there a registry setting somewhere where I can increase the size ,I realize most people dont use the phone as a phone anymore ,but if you have a business you need a phone , in Android , apple ,blackberry you can change the size of fonts so you can see the letters/numbers , why is it that Win phone 7 you cant do this? I would think someone like GoodDayToDie could find it and share it with us?
Sorry man; I've searched and found no tweaks for the font size. It's either hardcoded itno the app (I haven't checked this) or it's hidden in some configuration that didn't show up in my searches. I agree that it would be a good feature to change, although I don't find it *quite* as difficult as you say.
Well Im alot older than you GDTD probably ! Not to mention my eyesight is like 20/500 , so seeing is everything ,but fortunately with contact lenses its easier , plus having the ability to have a custom rom and have homebrew Ivw found a better contacts solution it can found in Bazaar called "Easy Call" , it makes the fonts a whole lot bigger , what I was talking about in particular is when you want to relay info(phone info) while your having your talking to someone on the phone, they ask if you have Bills number and you say "sure, let me get it for you" when you pull up contacts the font is so small and if its daylight you cant see it anyway , even with florescent colors its difficult ! If you could just change individual fonts that would be nice , I know how to do it in Windows 7 in the registry and in Win CE ,but many of the values arent there and creating them doesnt always give you the result you want !
I threw your name out because I know your dev and will honestly try to find Why! I trust your opinion!
I'll keep looking, of course. There's a list of things that I'm always at least casually on the lookout for, like ways to get interop-unlocks. After some people I know asked about it a few months back, I did some searching for a way to change the font size. No luck at the time, but I'll keep my eyes open as I work on other hacks, and if I think of any good places to check I'll look deeper.
Thanks G , we're lucky to have guys like you and Heathcliff,jax and a few other who've been on board since the beginning!
