Change order of contacts to first name last name

Hi, I have just come across this on the developers and hackers forum. I know there where a few people here who also wanted to change the order of their contacts in the contacts app. This works well. (The only issue I believe is that you need to rerun it when you add a new contact.)

Uninstall Flip It. It doesn't work well with 3.7

Select All People, select the contact, then from the right bottom soft menu select "Send Contact by Message".
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ultimatepichu:
hi makbil,

okay, the thing goes like this:

All people > selected a contact > menu > send contact by message

it linked to a MMS, so I press menu again, and pressed send via sms, but the sms is totally empty, without the contact details. Hmmm?

as i´m still not absolutely happy with the 1.14 radio together with german t-mobile, i would like to flash another one.

is that advisable or would´t i get a better result as the 1.14 is way too much aligned with the rom?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
OK, I see what you mean. Manila probably defaults to MMS so that picture of the contact can be sent as well. Let's put that on "Manila - to be fixed" board for HTC to work on :cool:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
You can flash another radio and you don't even need to do a hard reset. However, you should read the radio thread about the radio version you want to flash and learn about the relevant rilphone.dll as well, as that is an important part of the radio operation
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chris Cross:
yeah, I noticed it links to MMS.

I tried the following:

When viewing a contact in Manial, press "More: see more information".

That takes you to windows mobile contact sheet.

Press Menu - send contact - sms/mms

But that also seems to send an MMS.

If you want to send a whole contact card, I don't think you can do so via sms. If all you want is to copy and paste a contact's phone number to send via sms, then you can go into "edit contact", select the information you want, and then if you have keyboard that supports copy+paste (like Fingerkeyboard 2.1) the rest is obvious.

If you don't have such a keyboard it's a bit more tedious.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chris Cross:
A quick way to copy and paste a contact's phone number into an sms is to add that contact to the list of recipients (as if he were also getting that sms). Then, highlight his information, use the keyboard to "copy" it, then paste it in the text section. You can then erase him from the "To:" section.

Again, this is assuming your keyboard has copy and paste functions.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
If you try to send a contact's information using WM contacts, it gives you a list where you can check each of the fields you want to send, then it sends that info as a multipart SMS.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Chris Cross:
really? weird - I tried it (sent it to my other phone) and I never got it. Then I sent a regular plain sms as usual and it arrived in 2 seconds.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Double post --- deleted
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Interesting indeed! The SMS gets transferred to the "Sent Items" folder but doesn't actually get sent. I also tried to forward that specific message to the same number and it didn't go either. If I send a new SMS it gets delivered immediately though. This should be something for the M$ guys to work on :rolleyes:

I am using M2.1.

Resco Keyboard not auto finding SMS contact

Hi Guys

Just upgraded to V3.7 with Man V2.1

Previous V3.3 with Resco Keyboard would find the SMS numbers as I typed in a name. Now this is not working.

This feature DOES work great with the standard keyboard.

Any Ideas?

2 all people having battery drainage problems

i've read a lot about rapid battery drainage with this ROM and i must say i don't have it

please read your own posts and notice what you write there; stuff like: 2h in a basement, wifi always ON(!?), bluetooth always ON(?!), 3 email accounts checking every 30 minutes, been without connection for Xh, etc.

guys, i know we all expect from our phone (for which we paid a fair $$) to do whatever we want, and as we all know, it can do it all. But batteries haven't changed much, and if you squeeze it that much no wonder your battery lasts only for a day. Try to turn off functions you don't need when you don't use them (especially BT and WiFi, and set you screen to go off in like 30s if you're not using it) and you'll get an extra day or 2 for sure

please remember, we're here talking about MOBILE PHONE with a BATTERY and NOT A POWER PLANT IN YOUR POCKET :P :)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Do you want to revert HD back to factory settings?

Just do a hard reset by:

1. Turning off device

2. Continue to hold down volume up & voulme down and press power on

3. You will be presented with whote screen with blue text.

4. Press vol up to do hard reset

Have you tried HD Tweak - item 6.1?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] spud_work:
That doesn't work in this instance. As 6.1 disconnects after a set period of time. I've got my HD to disconnect after 1 minute, but if i manually put the phone into standby after a data connection has been active (e.g. weather or stock update) before 1 minute is up the setting in 6.1 has no effect.

There used to be settings in the rom to automatically termiante data on standby, so hopefully someone who knows their way around the registry can find it.

Does somebody know why and how I can fix this?

Thanks!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] akash_nu:
I would like to add something here... We r not mentioning this battery drainage issue without comparing with other ROMs. If other ROMs can give u more battery life than this 1, using the same settings then there definitely is some issues. For e.g, in my case if I use topix ROMs and topaz vanilla ROMs, my battery consumption is much less than on Dutty's 3.7 XT. Note that I have exactly similar settings on both the ROMs & I travel to same destination everyday. The battery drainage is huge in this ROM & instead of shoving this issue under the table by saying "This is normal", why not look into it properly & try to find out the reason.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] marvi0:
yes hdtweak is not the answer and as mentiond above I think the answer lies in some sort of registry change which would obviously require the attention of one of geniuses on here so please we await your input thanks

About batery, 3.7 it's draining more than previous 3.4, same use, really it have a marked diference.

Hi there,

First, I wish to thank Dutty and his mates for their excellent work! Dutty's ROM 3.7XT is really terrific!

Does anyone know how to set the keyboard input language to French on Dutty ROM 3.7XT (Manila v2.1)?

Indeed, I would like to be able to use french accents in my sms and emails.

Many thx!

Opera Mobile 9.7 beta is out

SO maybe in the FINAL Dutty Rom free of any bugs (still hoping that such a thing exits) will include the new Opera 9.7

http://my.opera.com/operamobile/blog/2009/03/26/opera-mobile-9-7-beta-for-windows-mobile

by the way has anyone used Skyfire? I installed it a few days ago and apart from rather lousy interface it's quite a challanger. Full flash support and even battery doesn't suffer too much.

If you have T9 activated for keyboard the accents will already be there. Just hold down 'e' for example and you will have a number of options including è, ê, é, ê to choose from

Conference call, Updates and Events, new Opera 7beta, Google Maps...

Dear all,

I'm still on 3.6 Standard, loving it... thanks Dutty, again.

I have a few questions, hope someone can help, advise... (I have researched all over the forum first)...

1. RE. "Conference Call":

I made a test to place a conference call. Called 2 numbers, but could only "switch" from one to the other, (one being kept on hold while connected to the other). When I pressed the "Join" tab (when in landscape mode, in the "Conference Room" interface), I get a "Cannot conference the Calls" message. So, is this because the function can't be activated on my HD, or is it a network matter?

2. Re. "Updates & Events" in contacts:

Do I understand correctly that this is a function which only works in conjunction with a FaceBook account? I.e. if I note a birthday date in a contact, it won't actually show in the Updates and Events tabs, or even in the Calendar and that's normal right?

3. Has anyone tried the new release of Opera 9.7 beta on Dutty's Rom?

4. This might be slightly off topic, but I've searched absolutely everywhere for an answer. In google maps, latest release, when I press on "Save as Contact" after doing a search, nothing happens, nothing is saved any more. It used to work in previous versions. BTW, I had the same problem with my stock Rom before I moved to Dutty's... Is anyone having same isues?

Ok, that's it. Thanks in advance.

Anyone having crashes when trying to wake phone from standby?

I have had the phone crash twice when trying to power on from standby - it will refuse to wake and this isn't the pre-midnight crash as I had been using it just a few minutes before in both instances... Strange as had not encountered this particular crash before flashing to 3.7. Whenever it does this I have to soft reset and having done so, the battery charge takes a substantial hit too.

On the subject of battery life, I'm also inclined to agree that the battery life is inferior to 3.4 which seemed much better. I will never compare power usage for the initial week 'cos you're usually messing with post flashing, but now it's getting stable use again.

EDIT: Fully charged battery at 0800 this morning, now 64%. WTF! (this includes my little crash scenario above)!

Just my .02$...

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] onesolo:
I have.

The new opera version is a must!!!

Some quirks (the rest works perfectly):

The instalation does not overwrite the previous version. Manila still uses the old version

Also does not auto-rotate

Can anyone tell me how to redirect the default browser to new opera version?? I think that a registry change is suffice

Please dutty, put a new version with the new opera version!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
I noticed a similar occurence on my device. Phone refused to wake up or screen would not turn on whatsoever even after soft reset & hard reset. I found out this was due to a faulty connection within the phone concerning the motherboard/screen. A few people have experienced this with the HD. Only methods of fixing this was to return phone under warranty or insurance job. But seeing as my device is tweaked to the bone and had HSPL amongst other warranty voiding software etc on device I had no other option but to open device up. (Had another HD anyhow as backup). I managed to fix device......PHEW!!!

ADVICE TO ALL.......UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES TRY TAKING YOUR PHONE APART UNLESS YOU HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS AND YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING!!! ONCE YOU OPEN DEVICE ALL WARRANTIES GO OUT THE WINDOW!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] matt74p:
+1 but I'm still on 3.4 hesitating to flash to 3.7.

happens randomly once every two, three days. Simply will not wake up so SR is needed.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Gisbourne:
I'm not convinced it's hardware in this case, just a crash of sorts, but you may be right.

I'd certainly rather find out about a hardware problem now while the phone is still under warranty! :eek:

Sad day!!!

This is a sad day for me. I just thought i´m not going to flash anything else after 3.7, because everything was perfect. But then my battery drained so heavily (8-12% overnight with phone,wifi,BT,Beam OFF) that i can´t live with that.

So yesterday i flashed Topix 2.1 and now i loose 1% overnight like i did with Dutty´s roms before appr. 3.0.

I still like Duttys roms more, because 1. i got used to them and 2. there are some many little things that i appreciate.

But the difference in battery life is way to big.

I hope Dutty would do a 3.8XXLBattery_life_version_with_whatever_manila

Until then, Good bye

Thanks for underestimating all of us battery-fools
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Sorry to see you go mate. Battery issue will hopefully be sorted soon, once Throy has enjoyed his little vacation.

Saying that, 8-12% is not a great amount of battery to lose. Personally I find this exceptable. I'm more than happy to charge phone every 1 1/2 days. But others including yourself may not agree, so I understand where your coming from
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Was never meaning that your problem was related to this, I was simply stating that my problem had a similar symptom. The fact yours was fixed with a quick soft reset confirms that both issues where unrelated. All I was hoping to do was highlight my problem to others and giving a slight bit of advice on what to do and what not to do

i'm still havin' little problems with my HD.. when i turn it on the "smart mobility" letters appear white, but when the rom especifications appear (the red thing on the bottom right)..it turn blue and from the on forth the entire screen just is full of weird colors and i have to turn the screen off and on for it to be back to normal again..and i still can't get the phone turned on.. it is on Flying mode, and when i try to convert it do phone, it does nothing.. also it has got really slow.. did anybody had this kind of problem? :x
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Common problem mate when you haven't followed guidelines correct. The greenish discolourization is a known symptom.

You haven't successfully loaded either USPL or HSPL onto your device before flashing 1.56 based rom like Duttys. You will need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide again. Link in my signature. Any future problems, post your queries in that thread instead of this one and either myself, cRaCKwHoRe or someone else will help you

This battery drain isn't solved, in some instances at least, by switching off 3G? Read somewhere it can be a drain even when not running up your phone/data bill. I woke one morning to find my HD near flat last week, yet it had been about 80% capacity at bed time. Discovered 3G was enabled, though not active. Turned it off (until needed) and have lost very little overnight ever since - even with wifi left on.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] nearlygod:
Hi, the point is that i always lost 1% overnight with Duttys previous roms (1.8a-2.8) until he announced the first one with a improved battery performance. From this moment the battery performance has gone worse everytime and with 3.7 i hardly get a full day. And i do nearly no phone calls, no sms, just a bit of opera, no scheduled email, nothing.

I´ll be more than happy to come back to Duttys roms once this is resolved(i even did a donation after installing 3.7). But for now i just want to use my phone.

Battery drain

Just to make it clear for :

My battery performance is bad with the following settings:

backlight to the minimum with lumos

3g off

beam off

wifi off

BT off

even G-sensor off

I still loose 8-12% overnight with the phone off too.

To be honest, ever since Dutty's 3.3 XT every new version had terrible battery life on my end. I liked Dutty's ROMs but can't live with this huge battery drainage issue. After all by using cooked ROMs we try to get the most out of our phones right...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] makbil:
Unfortunately I had to HR my HD last night. I'll post what led to it hopefully it will save someone's time.

I installed BsB G-Config to add a few applications to the white list, I thought it would be easier than manually modifying the registry, what a mistake!

Going through the process of adding my Gmail messages so that I could flip to landscape from within the messages, the program added Gmail as a dialog (which I suspect is the cause of the problem). After a soft reset Manila would no longer start and the phone seemed excessively slow. So I deleted my newly added item but this didn't fix the problem. Specifically, copying files between the phone memory and SD card or SD card to PC (USB & Activesynv modes) takes forever. Anyway, as events showed, the SD card wasn't the problem. After a HR everything works again.

I know a lot of people use this program and are happy with it so I don't know what went wrong.

V3.7 : Excellent Battery Life

I'm am EXTREMELY happy with the battery life of version 3.7 Dutty. I fully charge and go to bed at 100% and wake up with 100%. I know that once you have charged it to 100% it's actually a bit more than 100% and take more usage before it starts to drop. Last night I went to bed with 91% and I am suprised to wake up with 91%! In previous ROM, if I go to bed with less that 100%, It is normal I loose 1-3% overnight.

I went through the whole day today with calls, SMS, games (lightly), WiFi & surfing the net .. & still manage with 54% at night.

I have to say, GPS is EXCELLENT too. Locking of satellite signal is FAST (like less than 5 sec) .. by the time I fully loaded Garmin XT, I already have a lock and ready to navigate ...

A BIG Thanks to Dutty for this excellent ROM. GREAT Work ... *two thumbs UP!*

Note : I have the following installed

1) SMS DR Fix

2) Garmin XT

3) G-Alarm v2.06

4) TsOwen v1.5 Taskbar Icon

5) Astraware Bejeweled 2

6) SPBWallet

7) S2U2

Edit :

1) I didn't do any registry tweak. Just installed the software above (in no particular order)

2) Fully on 3G / HSDPA network
