Good afternoon!
I've tried to ask these question on other forums, but almost nobody gave me an answer. There were some about different software to use, but it didn't really help. So I would be very pleased if you, dear X1 gurus, answer these question. Please, if you know the answer - write it here for me and other people. Thank you very much in advance!
The priority is: I. How to solve the problem using native software or registry? II. If and only if the first is not possible, how to solve it using different software?
1. Where in file system the vocabulary of words which were inputted before is situated? It's a vocabulary with these tooltips-words while typing. Can I get it somewhere form my phone and backup or even edit?
2. How can I check my X1 uptime?
A: As yet I know only one way: use AEButton Plus. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
3. Someone called me from number +ХХХ, I want to call him back, BUT to add a zero between + and the first digit(+0XXX). How can I do it? I can't copy this number and there is no options like "change then dial". The one and only solution for it - is to choose "send SMS" and copy the number from the "From" field! But is it useful and normal for a device which costs about 500 euro?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
4. Imagine: you have a contact Ivan in your contacts, which has 2 phone numbers: mobile and work. Two sms arrive to your phone: one is from his home number, another is from work. Sms inbox displays both of it as "Ivan". How do I know which sms is sent from what number?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
5. How can I copy a number which was dialed earlier or number from contacts? I see only one way(but it's weird): chose "edit contact" and copy from the field. Is there another way?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
6. While a phone conversation how can I easily save a number which my friend is saying to me? I tried to dial it while a call is active, it's ok, but once the call is dropped, my number disappears! Yes, I can create a note using a special touch-key, but it's not useful, because I should use my keypad and then should copy that number, but I need to dial it! How can it be solved?
7. Have anybody experienced a problem while taking a photo of many different objects? I had. It happened when I took a photo of a forest - there were a lot of trees alongside each other and after pressing shot button, "Saving..." was displayed on my screen for about 15 minutes! After it said that it failed to take a photo. What it can be?
8. Where can I find all my earlier connected WiFi points and passwords? I want to save it before upgrading my firmware. Can I backup it?
9. Can I turn of a feature of turning my screen light on when I plugging my X1 to PC? I don't want this light to be turning on when I do it! Is it possible?
10. While surfing internet via GPRS/EDGE or getting my email from server, my GSM part of device seems to be "unconsciousness": when somebody calls me, I'm "out of zone". How can I fix it? I want my GSM part to be number 1 by priority!
11. I can see anything when the sun is shining. I know everybody with X1 can't. But can I "ask" my backlight to help me? For example, set it to turn maximum power when on the light, or something? I'm asking because, as I've understood, my auto-backlight works vice versa: when it's bright - it turns off, when it's dark - it turns its max power. I want max power when it's very bright too!
A: People say that screen protector with anti-glare really helps.
12. When an SMS is coming, I get a popup notification at the bottom of the screen. I can either press "Reply" or "Options". If I press reply, the chat mode opens and I can reply, seeing all our conversation. BUT if I go to my address book and choose "New SMS" on a contact, different form will be opened, just like for e-mail composing. And here is a question: how can I make this "e-mail composing" style sms appearing after I press "Reply" when new sms arrived? I know how to turn the chat mode off, but I don't need it to be turned off completely, because it's useful while reading sms from one person. I just want reply to a person using simple form. Is it possible somehow? I think that if it's can be made by hands(New sms from contacts), then it could be implemented programmatically... maybe some values in registry?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
13. At the screens you can see screenshots from my X1 with R2A0010 and 1.14 radio: 1 hour after powering on and 2 days after powering on. Why there is such a difference in memory consumption in some system processes? Is it an ordinary thing?
A: People say that it's normal. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
Thank you very much in advance again!
Great questions, especially #6. I can't answer any of them exept #5, so I'll have to watch this thread along with you!
#5, go to call log in the phone dialer and there is a menu option to save to contacts. If you want to save it to a pre-existing contact....you will have to add a question #14 to your list
PhoneX can do these two.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, it can, just as Inesoft Phone. I've installed both of it. And then removed both in the same day. IMHO, they add some good design, but hardly can pretend on a lot more useful then original dialer. (Just for future messages, to have this thread clean, I say to myself and others(for the off-chance): I would not want to discuss any soft here, so please, let it be only tries to answer to these questions... thank you in advance)
BRING ON THE QUESTIONS!!!!!!!!!
1 - I don't know.
2 - AEB Button Plus has such a feature.
3, 4, 5, 6, 12 - I use PhoneEx sorry.
7 - Never heard of it. Upgrade your device to R3A and try again.
8 - I believe there is a text file in the Windows folder. I am not 100% sure though.
9 - Yes. There is a reg tweak, but I can't find it. Someone else should have it.
10 - Never had that problem. Are you using a custom ROM?
11 - I can see the screen very good in the sun, because I use a screen protector with anti-glare. Buy one and be amazed.
13 - It is normal.

I've been using the PhoneEx trial for a few days and it doesn't do #5 and #6. If any workaround involves tons of keypresses and program changing (during the call) to accomplish, then it fails. I think the OP is looking for a quick way of accomplishing these things during a call. Going to the notes application during a call only partly works. In order to actually use that number you may have jotted down in notes, you have to find the file and call the number from the notes file...not very elegant. There should be a means of jotting down numbers while in the dialer (without sending out tones causing your voicemail to go crazy) so that you may call or save them during or afterwards.
Also, I may be wrong but, how do you add additional numbers to a contact without copying and then going into edit contact then pasting? For example, how do you add a home number to a contact that already has a work number without manually going into edit contact and adding it. There should be a "merge with existing contact" feature within the dialer menus.
Not bashing PhoneEx, because it is pretty good otherwise. But, I am a stickler for convenience features. I hate tons of button pressing and navigation to accomplish simple things.

Just for fun My work computer can be running for month or so... Sometimes it's interesting for how much your X1 is powered on. For example, if I see any bugs on it, I question myself: "How long does this thing work? Maybe it's time for an SR?". If I found that it's only a day - I would be very curious. And if it's already a week - I do an SR without any additional thoughts That's my answer

Is there any way how to assign specific ringtones to some of mine contacts? Even my old Motorola had this feature very useful specificaly for the people who need to be accesible by some of their contacts all the time, but can call back most of the callers later.

You can assign ringtones to contacts stored in the phone. You cannot assign them to contacts on the SIM.

How will you do that? I have no such option in menu in Contacts?
after the contact is saved, you will see the option to set a ringtone for them under their mobile phone number when editing the contact form.

Got it it.

It's no big thing. We all miss stuff sometimes.
Look at vipRingtone
I think this is what you are looking for located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328560
You could try Ringo, it allows you to use mp3s and assign to individuals and your outlook group categories. You can do the same with SMS notifications.
to be honest, i'm really surprised no user flamed you for this question. it is really too basic, you can find the answer in the user manual that came with your phone. but as someone said, everybody overlooks things sometimes. cheers!

I took joy in the fact that I haven't seen anyone ask this before. That made it worth answering without any snarkiness.
I must say I'm a little disappointed. When I say the subject of this post, and that jarek91 was the last poster, I was expecting to read some juicy trash.
But I must agree with jarek91 that I actually haven't seen this question floating around in quite a while.
OK guys, so I found that my original question was not so stupid after all. Of course I overlooked edit setting in contacts, but as I now controled all contacts transfered from the old phone, it seems like they all have already assigned the proper specific ringtone. However, whatever I do (and I tried all settings on phone for changing ringtone from none, through generic to specific) all incoming calls still have only one ringtone.
What now?
I am using 1.83.631.4 (radio 1.27.15.32) Rogers Rom (only ROM with public caller ID)
From what I remember that is the exact reason I looked around for something. As I said earlier try Ringo!

I tried, and it realy works. Thank you.
What I want is a "unknown caller" specific ringtone. AFAIK this cannot be done without additional software. Can someone please prove me wrong on this. Essentially I need a discrete call tone for no caller ID.

Hi,
does anybody know how to change the softkey in the mail menue. My Problem is that when i receive outlook pushmail emails and i open a email that i want to answer i have only the option reply to all. In my old device i had the key reply or answer (it´s german ROM).
any ideas? because actually i have to go to menue and then reply. that works but the direct softkey Reply (not to all) would be better.
I have bepe's ROM v0.52 (German) and have noticed it too.
I think this is a translation error. Instead of "Antworten" it says "Allen Antworten".
that's no translation error, it's also in the standard wwe
roms.
i've noticed this since i have my diamond, but i don't
want to bother anyone here with that, because i think
that htc will fix this in a future release.
perhaps a regkey exists in which we could fix this for
ourself, i will investigate that!
for now, there is a simple solution: go to "menue>reply>reply"
and you would have the standard reply...
regards,
markus

I hear ya, but this is what this forum is for; I don't think people will mind.
Has anyone come across a way of modifying this soft key to once again serve as a "reply" only finction instead of "reply all"?
Any insight would be much appreciated!
Regards,
I came across this "bug" also, but I solved it by entering my own email address in the advanced options of my email account. When you don't do that and you hit the reply all button, you will reply to the original sender, but also to yourself.
This is how to do it:
1. Open active sync
2. Click MENU
3. Select: OPTIONS
You now see the items to synch with your exchange server.
4. Select EMAIL
At the bottom you have 2 buttons, DELETE and CONFIGURE (or something else in your own language)
5. Click CONFIGURE
You are now in the Syncoptions for e-mail screen
6. Click the Advanced button
In the Advanced email options screen, at the bottom you can fill in your email address.
7. Fill in your email address and finish all the upcomming screens.
When you now hit the Reply All button, you only reply to the original sender and not to yourself anymore. Furthermore there is no way to change it to reply instead of Reply All.

Absolutely! What a dumb feature. Here is your fix my friends and, yes, that's why we're all here.
Using any Registry editor (like CeRegedit) here's the key.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OutlookEnhancement
Change the OutlookEnhancement dll value data to "" (double quote) and then soft reset.
Hope this makes sense to you but it works as I've been doing it after every hard reset for months and months!
Cheers
Brilliant!!!!!
Thanks very much for the fix, WMguy; it worked like a charm! On a side note, I find it a bit odd that they'd consider this an 'enhancement'
Thanks also to MRE-net for the suggestion. I in fact already had my email address assigned to the account, and didn't actually experience the problem of emails returning to my own account; it just bothered me that the "reply all" button was still present when it didn't make any sense, and I knew there HAD to be a proper solution. Turns out there was!
Thanks again to everyone for the suggestions. That's why I love this forum!
Keep up the good work!

After having a Touch a few months back, i thought the Diamond would be a breeze. NO such luck in my experience.
For example. On the main home screen. How do you edit that so it's just the clock or, to add more to the list that currently shows calendar and call history? I can't find any way to do this so if you can enlighten me, i'd really appreciate it.
What about when texting? Is there any way to make the keypad a different size? Personally i can't find a way to edit that. It's annoying that after adding your contacts name, you seemingly have 90% of the screen filled with the entry system and you have to mess about to get to the message section of the screen. Guessing i've missed something somewhere!
Zooming in on a photo... how is that done? Orange's CD ROM User Manual is vague to say the least so if you can assist here to, please do.
This thread could become a handy hints and tips chart for beginners if all feedback is good so if you have a question or some simple advice for settings and the way to go around things, chuck a note in and someone will be very happy to see the reply
1) Well if u flick ur finger in an upward motion on the home screen u'll notice the clock becoming smaller and will list all the list all ur appointments from ur calendar...
2) If u are not satisfied in the HTC Keyboard, u will need to look into other keyboards my fav personally is Touchpal from Cootek and there is even resco keyboard which is pretty gud.
3) You can only zoom in a picture when u r in the HTC Album, in order to zoom you will need to rotate your finger clockwise or anti-clockwise i am always forget which is for zooming so u will need chk tht out...
I hope these tips helps u out....

Hmmmmmm, i see. Shame that somehow we can't take the good things from the Touch like the Home screen as standard and have them in the 3D instead. If any cab compilers are reading this, maybe it's something that could be done?
Along those lines, maybe someone could rip out the original texting keyboard, the smaller more compact one... better for stylus use and enables you to see more screen. I HATE the big finger pad they've put on the Diamond. Is is really necessary to have it that big? Surely if you're going to use the stylus (i mean if HTC didn't want us to use one, then ALL the functions and menus would be larger, yes?), then why provide us with one in the first place?!?!!

There are multiple SIPs already built into the Diamond. Holding your finger or stylus on the small arrow next to the keypad button when input is allowed will display the menu, from there you can select the Windows SIP which is tiny and stylus friendly...
Reading the manual is a good idea before posting dude. Or even a search

Clues please?
I agree - the 'manual/instructions' Orange sent were non-existent and as a first time PPC user I was totally lost until I had a nosey around here and to be fair am still learning all what this phone can do!

The appointment contains the persons name and phone number.
I would like to make a call directly from the reminder or calendar.
Using the telephone number as a hypertext link would be great.
I am normally busy driving to the client so I cant copy and paste or write the number down. Copy and paste does not work when switching to phone mode, does not allow you to paste?
Would greatly appreciate a solution!
(using Touch Diamond)
Have a look at Pocket Informant 8. When you set the appointment you have an option in the righthand soft menu to insert contact link. This then allows you to have the appointment open and access contact info directly from the appointment. Hope this is what you are after.
make a search before u post. look here:

Thanks tempest2112, Pocket informant looks like something that may solve the problem, very useful!
Apologies KukurikU, I did look at the link you provided but don’t have a clue what they are talking about. My knowledge goes as far as copy and paste and installing a program
You need to upgrade to a 1.93 based ROM which has paste function in the dialer... (this one did my head in for ages until I flashed 1.93).
Still need to copy then paste though, so you'll just have to pull over for a second... hang on a mo, you should be doing that anyway!

never mind, i guess you didn't get to post #7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2551269&postcount=7 by pure coincidence is my post.
try the app i am recommending there. i am sure it will fulfill yr wish....i am using it for 3 years and it does exactly what you are asking for. just keep yr stylus on a meeting (for example) and if there is any telephone number in the reminder or in the note the app will inquire if you want to dial it. no copy/paste!!!
sorry for the "you don't have a clue". can't help with that

Hi KukuriKU,
I have installed contactbreeze, but the PIM extension is not appearing in OUtlook (i am checking teh notes section). I am using the SwiftBL 6.5 version of ROM.
Are you using contactbreeze with the Diamond, and did you do anything special to make it work?
Thanks!
Part 1
nothing special.
first options/tweaks/apply dial menu extension.
second, go to the appointment/task that already contain a telephone number and by "long press" you'll get the option "dial number".
i think the set of pics should be enough. for more pics see next post.
if you still have questions, contact me
Part 2-3 more Pics
Her is the end of my explanations:
ContactBreeze Works now!!

Thanks for the excellent clarification provided KukurikU! I was trying to select the number in teh notes section and then trying a long press.... this just used to bring out teh cut/copy menu item. I didnt know I had to perform the long key press in the main screen... anyway many thanks for your help - issue sorted now.
BTW ContactBreeze does solve the issue of the missing dial from PIM feature in WM6.
The only extra thing I would wish is if it could handle pauses and auto-pin entry using DTMF. For example in many of my appointments I have a conf call number and then when I dial that I need to enter a pass code (maybe 4 or 6 digits).
What I usually do is provide something like +44800345678pp321458# to dial and there is no need to enter information manually. If contactBreeze had this feature then that would have made this the ultimate soluion!!
You know the lady voice that announces when the battery is almost dead, when you get a text message and reads it to you and all the other stuff...is there any way to change that text to speech voice to a different female voice? I know there are several other voices that are available but not sure how it would be changed on wm 6.1
First off, what app is doing that for you?
huh???!!

Are you sure your using a diamond for that? I have used a diamond for months now and have not discovered that feature!! please provide further details as to what device you have and which country bought in etc.
interesting....
I think I know what he's talking about, which is he has MS Voice Command installed.
As far as I know, it isn't possible to change the voices on MSVC but if anyone can prove me wrong please do, as I'd love a different set of voices as well

He's talking about Voice Commander. When you receive an email / sms you can run it and say 'Read SMS' or 'Read Email' and it will read any unread emails /sms
Very handy, esp. when driving
I would also love to know how to change the voice though

Come on now, of course I know what freakin' phone I'm using. That's like asking someone if they know what kind of car they drive and if they are sure about it.
Here's what you do to enable it:
Settings>Voice Command>
Check 'Enabled'
Check 'Messaging', 'Status' & 'Phone' boxes
The go to 'Notifications' and check 'Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only'
[/LIST]
Those directions above will read out loud the person calling you when you get a call, the person who sent you a SMS and what the SMS says, will read to you any email including the sender and subject line, but not the email and will also notify you when your battery is gonna die.
Trust me, it's a major attention-getter when your phone reads a text message to you when it comes in and people around you are like wtf was that. Plus it's great if you are lying in bed or something and your phone is across the room...you can hear what the message says and whether or not it's worth getting out of bed for. :-D
But anyway, if anyone knows how to change the voice please respond. Thanks!
Voice Command isn't installed on all Diamonds as standard and as I stated, there is no way to change the voices, I have searched for this myself before with no luck.
cool!

This sounds like an excellent app! I tried locating it on my UK O2 spec diamond and could not find so if anyone has got a cab file please post. I will search google now and i'm sure i'll find it and post if no-one beats me to it.
Man i'm learning new sh!t about my phone everyday. Cheers guys i know i have not answered your question but you have helped me finding something new
nice one!
pretty sure you cant change the voice but i know there's a registry tweak to slow the voice down witch makes it easier to understand. I've just remembered I'm sure there's the tweak in Advance config hope this helps
yeah i have this enabled on my phone and its the best when your laying in bed and wonder if its worth looking at. I do wish it was a more sexier voice like sigourney weaver from planet earth, and a little slower would be nice. IT came stock on my sprint diamond fyi, im surprised other versions dont have it
I have a sprint diamond and mines only talks when someone sends me a text message marked urgent and thats it. I have all the tabs checked on VC in the settings menu. am I missing somthing?

You don't have it setup correctly, that's why.
Go into Voice Command and do this:
- Check all the boxes you want to use this service. (Phone, Messaging, Status, Etc.)
- Highlight 'Messaging' then click on 'Options' button then UNCHECK 'High Priority Messages Only' and CHECK 'Announce New Messages'. Do the same steps for others like 'Phone' and 'Status' to change it's options. Make sure you highlight it first.
