New TouchDiamond 2 owner,some queries..Help Please - Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I purchased the phone today,It's just awesome. The screen is large,Resolution is perfect,Call quality is superb and I won't say anything about the design,so elegant and classy. But I found some issues which are bothering me. 1st-Is there any Bigger Qwerty virtual keyboard available for landscape mode? The in built one is good but hard to type fast,it's not worth that big screen size. I used a 5800XM previously and the qwerty landscape was very good,is there anything like that available for the TD2?
2nd-The last Win Mo device I used was a Xperia X1i,it also had 6.1.but in the Task Manager bar there were 3-4 icons like Battery , Volume , Network Strength Signal and Edge/GPRS etc. Now when I clicked on those icons they showed as they were clicked,like if I clicked the Battery icon then it showed the Battery level or for the volume icon it showed the Volume and there was an option to go to Communication Manager. But in TD2 any icon I click on the Task bar it shows only ONE thing that is- 'Notifications' and under that no 'New Notifications'. Why is that? I just want that OLD mode I had in the Xperia.
3rd- Is there any option to see the Battery percentage details? It only shows 4 bars.

1 - search for fingerkeyboard
2 - don't know
3 - download and install http://www.zimmi.cz/files/diamond2/sdkcerts.cab and http://www.zimmi.cz/files/diamond2/FInixNOverBattery.cab

2. Search for "Notification Manager". You have to deactivate HTC's notification manager.

1. There are many input methods out there. You can go on Youtube & watch for the demo see if that's what you're looking for: TouchPal, Spb keyboard, Resco keyboard pro, Fingerkeyboard, EzInput.
2. This fixes your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515629&highlight=notification + Soft Reset.
Of course you need a Registry Editor to do this & I personally recommend Resco's.
3. See post #5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511560&highlight=battery+indicator

Thanks for mentioning those good keyboards. But where to find and download them? for free of course.

Just click on the start button either on the screen or in the bottom near to the call button you will see the next screen tap on the settings icon on the next screen in the bottom left corner tap all settings in the next screen you can see the battery icon when you tap the systems tab. Have an exploration on your phone and see the changes from the Old Diamond

Batti Program

Hi all,
I recently added a battery bar program called Batti2.1. It is a really great program and i like it a lot. There is, however, one small bug...
When using the program it remaps the Calendar soft key to "Notification". Rather it does not remap it but always displays the "Notification" word. I guess this is so because it gives me a setting asking me if i want the battery indicator in the top bar (which is what i want). When i click on the notification icon it gives me detail about the battery etc. When i am done and click on hide, it goes back to saying "Notification".
When i recieve an sms or missed call, it then resets the soft key back to the original "Calender" and does not come up with the "Notification" key i usually get when i have a missed call or sms notification.
Is there a registry setting to disable the batti program's notification icon or am i stuck with this for good (so long as i have the program installed)??
Has anybody else used this program? Had this same problem? It is a really good piece of software and does not affect anything else.
Can anybody help please. I have included screenshots and attached the batti file incase anyone is interested in looking at this useful program.
yep...that happens...i remember when i used that program...get...um...damn i cant remember the name of the program i used..

Wow... that is annoying. Nice program, but I see your dilemma.
Whenever there's a notification (such as wi-fi detected), the left soft key is remapped to it. PocketPlayer does that on mine. I don't mind because I can use the today screen plugin to access the calendar.
Use VistaHide battery gauge instead.
Thanks to those who replied.
Tinkering around with the program i discovered a solution. In settings option set the following settings:
<PLEASE SEE IMAGE CAPTURE NUMBER 3 IN THE ATTACHMENTS>
I then click ok and hide the diolog box (hide button). The notifiaction and icon on the top bar are gone. However, there is a small bar right on the top of the top bar with graduations along it. This is the battery bar and each graduation represents 5%. When you tap this bar once, the notification box comes up and displays all the info. When you tap on hide, it all goes away. No more remapping.
Thanks to those who tried to help out.

Scroll wheel for volume in call doesn't work...

It works in most other programs that allow scroll to volume, but when on a call it rarely works (has a few times) and it just scrolls through the connection, sound icons at the top of the Today screen.
Using Dutty's Touch 8/27/07 ver 1.27.14.09
Anyone ever see this before? Answers?
Does that ROM have the enlarge title bar app in it? If so and it's turned on, this will defeat the scroll wheel during calls.
I don't think it has that. It does have the enable large start menu but that doesn't make the title bar larger.
The app he's referring to is if you click on the signal bar or volume icons, does it pop up with a magnified version of those buttons?
Thanks for the better description outphase...
If this is not the issue, then do you have any apps that may be trying to control the wheel at all times? You mentioned "works in most other programs"...which programs?
I think you guys hit it. I disabled the "enable large start menu" in and now it works! This does indeed pop out a large bubble for the signal and volume icons also.
The last time I saw it working now that I think about it was before I enabled it yesterday. The scroll volume in call is much more important to me than the larger type in the start menu or the large bubble.
Thanks!
too bad it's installed in the ROM because the .cab version is 2 seperate installs. I only install the Enlarge Start Menu part, leaving the Title bar portion not installed. That results in large start menu but still have full call volume control.
That app was actually made for the Touch, which does not have a scroll wheel as the Tilt does.
I have the same issue too, am using Alex's 5.2 ROM. I cannot see the app that does this to turn it off - what is the name of the app?
Look under Start/Settings/Personal and click on Large Start Menu. Just unclick the box to do disable it. Worked for me!

Multiple Battery Icons...

Ok, Ive looked around and havent seen any fixes or tips for this.. I have three battery icons on the top of my today screen (and yes I know about the KasierTweak setting but that doesnt fix it)... How can I get rid of the extra ones? Ive tried changing the registry for one but all that ended up doing was getting rid of one and moving all the other icons over.. however, the volume and phone icons ended up getting covered up... (see second screenshot)... Id like to stick with the battery icon on the far right, since it gives me a battery status when I click on it, not the battery settings...
looks like the one on the far left is the spb pocket plus one. Just go into the options for pocket plus and disable the checkbox for battery metrer... the other could be the system registry setting to display the battery instead of the clock (not simply the standard battery meter) you need to use advance config or kaiser tweek to disable this or just disply clock then turn off/on phone not soft reset (system sometimes does not keep the registry setting if you stylus reset).... see if this helps.
Please list all the Apps you have installed would be a good starting point. The above mentioned Spb Pocket Plus can be disabled as noted...
The SPB Pocket Plus was the 2nd from left icon... made that one a long slender one across the top...
KaiserTweak controls the one on the right (can make it a
battery or clock)... the registry edit (below) and power down/up instead of soft reset did the same thing as before... the other icons have been moved to the right but you cant see them... this only happens on the Today Screen, when I open an app, you can see the icons...
Nothing:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=0
the far left icon came from QuickMenu...
here are other apps Im using:
whatever was included with Alex's ROM
TomTom
Google Search, Maps
SPB Full Keyboard, Diary, Weather, Backup, Insight, Phone Suite, Pocket Plus
HTC Customizer
HTC Cube
S2U2

Windows start icon cut off...

I just noticed that the Windows icon on the upper left of my screen which opens the start menu, is cut off. Only the left half is visible and it makes it more difficult to tap to open since the icon width is half the original size. Is there a way to fix this?? BTW I did a search and there was no info available on this...
try schaps advanced config,if problems still happens then try hard resetting,you might need a different rom

This was an Issue on Dutty's April 1 Hybrid ROM. Did you look in there for solutions? I don't think there was. Was a bug in the Rom.
Thanks for responding. I was finally able to figure this one out. I opened WkTask from preferences and there is a setting for horizontal offset. I just increased the value in the box and it fixed it in "real time" ie as I increased the number the open program field moved to the right, uncovering the Windows icon and giving me improved access to tapping it to open the start menu. All is well!

Quick Menu help

My quick menu has disappeared from the today screen and in its place is a battery percentage icon. Since I have a battery indicator next to this i would like to put the quick menu back. Please help.
have you tried going and excuting the quick menu program from your program list? Once there you should be able adjust the options to your liking.
its not into programs. trying a hard reset
you shouldnt need to hard reset just to get quick menu back...have you tried:
a) clicking on the start icon and not the word start
b) re-installing the quick menu cab?
did hard reset putting back phone with sprite backup now. quick menu icon was on when phone first powered up. If it's gone now it means some program is removing it. Right?
if you cant find the quickmenu in the start icon, then you can just try looking for the quickmenu executable. i think it would most likely be in the \windows directory
Is there a reg edit to move the battery icon?
I want to move the battery icon to the left because it currently covers up the icon that shows new notifications in the title bar, making them unusable. Is there a reg edit to do this? Thanks in advance!
Found quick menu on start icon. changed battery to none and added Q to taskbar. But the quick menu icon that was on there before is now gone but I can use this method

Well if you did a restore with sprite backup then most likely, you just undid everything that made it reappear in the first place.

By quickmenu do you mean the quickmenu itself taking the place of the old start menu? If thats what you want you have to tell it to do so, under options, the very first page, select replace systems start menu (and register win key of device if you want the hardware start key mapped too)

I have no idea what you are talking about on this, with my quickmenu, the battery is shown the furthest to the right as possible (where the ok and X are normally shown). Are you saying that this is not how yours appears?

No mine appears next to the 3G icon
uncheck "show on all titlebar" for the battery option and then the battery will move to the far right
quickmenu
I went to quickmenu/options and selrcted replace start menu--------nothing happened. sorry now when i click start it lists everything but won open ie settings so I'm turning off replace start menu
Leon, everything that you are asking really is availible as an option under quickmenu itself (even displaying settings) my best advice for you is just to look under the options...almost all of the options (again in quickmenu) are self explainatory, so you should be able to get all of your questions answered within
quick menu start
All of this started when I lost the quick menu start icon thats all the way up in the right corner next to battery icon. It is 3 lines with a triangle on its bottom right.Now the last icon I have is the battery with an empty space next to it.

The three lines thing can be turned off by going to the windows mobile settings, task manager, and deselecting all of the options under it, and obviously the reverse if you want that part on (this is not quickmenu, this is htc's task manager app). The battery is from quickmenu which you can turn on or off under the quickmenu settings.
Went to Task mgr and quick menu is checked but it isnt back on the top of today screen!!!!
