[Desire HD General] Blue'87GT:
New to the forum and to smart phones as well. I got this phone here on Okinawa, Japan, so it a Japanese model. I downloaded the English manual off of the HTC site, and in reading it had instructions on how to change the keyboard from the "phone keypad" to the "qwerty" layout. Unfortunately the instructions from the manual of HOME > MENU, and tap Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input--is not accurate for my phone. "Select language", and "iWnn IME" are the only options when I get to the language and keyboard step.

Is there another method I can use to get to the settings? Perhaps I should download an app that would change my keyboard...which one?

Thanks again from this newbie!
[Desire HD General] FireNexusD:
Have you tried flashing it with an English ROM??
[Desire HD General] darkenedhammer:
That would have been my guess :confused:

additionally have you tried installing the HTC.IME keyboard??
[Desire HD General] CMGreenspon:
try swipe or 8 pen
[Desire HD General] Blue'87GT:
Found an answer. I went to my company systems office and found a guy who has an older 'droid. He looked at mine and found that it didn't have an English keyboard loaded, besides the telephone version. He loaded the "Gingerbread keyboard" off of the Android market. Seems to have fixed it for me. Boy do I have some learning to do! Thanks for your help!

Is there a way to reassign the search button to a different function instead of search? Like launch the camera or take a picture? Maybe even have the different soft buttons function as different alerts for email, text, calls, or calendar?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
[Fascinate General] ezas:
I saw something like that in the Market but can't recall anything about it beyond that. Sorry couldn't be more help.
[Fascinate General] CrushD:
LaunchKey would be what you're looking for, well at least for reassigning the search key function to open other apps.
[Fascinate General] CPierce:
If you dig deeper in this area you will find it. They have been able to have it open the camera.
[Fascinate General] islandtime:
+1 i looked through many posts. Launcherkey allows the long press but id like to use the search key for something else as i never use it. Id like to just hit it once as normal. Is there a link for any threads pertaining to this?
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
I prefer to use my search button like THIS.

good day.

LOL but I would like the ability to use it as a quick button for camera

Is there any possible way to save these REALLY IMPORTANT voicemail messages to the SD Card? I need them, BADLY.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
Well, depending on the voicemail app, they should be saved elsewhere anyway. I know T-Mobile saves them to their servers, as does Google for those using Google voice. Just reinstall the apps and they should be available immediately. Or, if not, titanium backup might be able to do that.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Damn, I'm with T-Mobile. I tried using this headphone to headphone cord to record them with Audacity but that was just a fail. There's no other way, though any means necessary, to get them saved?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmwils3:
Well you might want to check with them as to whether voicemails are saved elsewhere. I'm pretty sure they are, but I'm not a rep for them, so I can't say for certain. They should automatically redownload to the visual voicemail App once you reinstall it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdxrealtor:
Why not just use you mail??? I'm the market. It saves them all online.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] athakur999:
TMO voicemail is definitely saved on the server side. Its the same database you'd get to if you called your voicemail directly by holding down 1 on the dialer.

Just reinstall the TMO vm app and they'd show up.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GazaIan:
Actually visual voicemail is already in the phone app with Sense, but I ask because it had a tendency to disable and then erase my voicemail box. I can't have that happen a 4th time.

[Touch CDMA General] HairyScot:
I have an OKTA Touch (CDMA HTC Vogue branded as Okta Touch) running WM6.1 and am considering upgrade to WM6.5 using NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM.

Any caveats or pitfalls?

NB: the version of NFSFAN's WM6.5 1.00 FINAL ROM that I downloaded is missing README.DOC.

Would be grateful for any info.

Thanks in advance.

:)
[Touch CDMA General] TheXev:
I would recommend using my XevRev rom over NFSFAN. The main reason I say that is simple: Stability. NFSFAN's rom is older and crashes (quiet a bit in my experience).

I am currently working on my 1.0 final release, if you'd like, I could compile a rom for your carrier. Would that happen be Telecom NZ? I'm hoping to have 1.0 finished no later then this Monday (Feb 17). It wouldn't be much trouble to compile it for another carrier.

Just respond here and I'll get back to you.
[Touch CDMA General] HairyScot:
I have in fact done the upgrade and so far have had no problems, although I was disappointed to find that the WAV restriction on alarms still remains and that the files have to be in the Windows folder. Also found that sounds for notifications are not picked up from the Ringtones folder as they were in the version of WM6.1 that I had, instead they have to be put in Sounds or in Windows.

My carrier is indeed Telecom NZ.

Is a carrier specific rom really necessary?

Will happily try your version so long as I can fall back easily to what I have in the event of problems.
[Touch CDMA General] BioGhosty:
Yeah a Carrier specific ROM would be beneficial as each different carrier has it's own different setups like whether or not your can send MMS (picture messages), can use data, gps, wifi that sort of thing.

The OKTA ROM is basically the same as the Sprint ROM just with the GPS functionality disabled, MMS disabled and a few other options either enabled or disabled
[Touch CDMA General] wudzi:
NFSFAN's rom was fast and stable. Pity he moved on to bigger and brighter things!.

If you want to use XevRev's rom, use the Bell version and run the Telecom carrier cab (posted somewhere in the XDA Touch forums).

I found Bell to be a better fit than Sprint - Sprint messed about with the data connection, causing it to get very messy trying to set it up forTelecom.
[Touch CDMA General] HairyScot:
There appear to be 2 versions, 28014 and 21889, what is the difference and which is best for OKTA?
[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
I know Xev really prefers 21889 for compatability and speed. He also finds it to be very stable. When stability was the only thing I was worried about, I developed NuVogue using 28014 but TheXev was right, 21889 really is the way to go - so many more things seem to work with it (Swype, HTC Touch Keyboard, lots of little things just work better!).

[Touch CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Thread moved to General.

BTW, remember to unlock your device before flashing.
[Touch CDMA General] HairyScot:
Is the sequence in which ROM and CAB are applied vital?

I assume ROM first and then run CAB.
[Touch CDMA General] NuAngel:
Extremely vital. Flash the ROM using egzthunder's step by step guide, then apply the carrier CAB. No carrier CAB and your data, sms, and sometimes even phone calls won't work.

Is there any way or any command which can save my installed set of applications to a Text file or PDF. My applications are growing and I cannot remember every one of them and I require all of them at one point or other. Can anyone give me some guidance?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve57925:
You could use titanium backup, it does have an option to create an update.zip file for your backups which I haven't used but I assume it backs up your apps to the zip so you can reinstall apps from recovery, would need someone to clarify this though
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seking:
I was using back up pro but it is no use. Suppose you flash a new rom, and if you restore most of them end up with Force Close errors. Since most of my applications are free, I don't mind spending some time installing them. But since many roms are changing so fast, I have to flash to keep up with the times, you know.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ssar23:
I don't know if there is such an option to save a list of installed apps, but it would be kinda useful.

I soon realized such a list would help and I am just manually creating my own in a text file, and all of the non-stock apps I have (thus far) added are in appbrain.com and I have ensured I have added each to "Apps on the phone" which then appears under "My Apps".

A list no but as all my apps are via AppBrain that's my list .

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seking:
For the time being, I am using Titanium free version and it backed up my applications and after I flashed the new rom I was able to restore all the applications via it's batch run commands. I do hope that I don't get force close errors. Upto now everything is working fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamalsid:
I don't know about backing up to the phone, but I have transfered all my contacts to my google account and I use SMS Backup + to save my messages and call logs to my gmail. Of course I then use Titanium Backup to save my apps + their data as well as thinkgs like my wifi access points. I just run the backup all apps + system data before I change ROM and when the new rom is installed I just restore the apps + their data, then restore my messages and call logs with SMS Backup + and of course my contacts are synced by my google account.

I have not found a way to backup the SNS info so have given up on having facebook and twitter info merged with my contacts. I can't be arsed with manually linking contacts together every time I get my ROM Flashing fix :-)

Don't know if thats of any help but thats what I do. I would also be interested in finding out if its possible to backup my mesages,call logs & SNS info on my phone rather than in the cloud.

i have tried google and was surprised to not find anything. all i could find was a way to control phone via usb, and a whole lot of ways to control the pc via the phone. both are unacceptable. i need to control the phone from my computer via bluetooth or wifi. i am too poor to afford a wireless speaker system and this will accomplish the same thing (for my needs at least).

is there a known app, or some other way, i can control my phone from the computer wirelessly? the only thing i really need as an option is to be able to control playing music. if there is an app specific for that, awesome. if there are apps that offer more control, even better! but at a minimum, media player control is needed..

[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
I need to make a decision on which one to get. I really want to figure a way out on putting a belt clip on one of these, but not sure how to or what clip would work. It seems the Noreve was offered with a belt clip which was later no longer issued as it was breaking due to the weight of the case and streak in it. If anyone has one of these and worked out a way, please let me know. Thanks:

Noreve

Tuff-Luv
[Streak 5 Accessories] Troute:
I have a Tuff Luv case, reviewed on here a while back, great piece of kit and very well made but no belt clip. To be honest I wouldn't trust my streak to a belt clip no matter who made it.
[Streak 5 Accessories] besony:
2devnull

Hi,

from what I have read on the forum and the net..

I can say, carrying it on a Belt (clipped) may not be the best idea.

It either goes well in your deep(er) pant pocket, or in your backpack!

from the choice, the Noreve seems much more classy than the later one.

My 2 cents!

care,

Sony
[Streak 5 Accessories] RussianSolja:
I agree. The device is to big to be trusting it to some cheap plastic belt clip. :) even tho I ordered the defender by otter box I know for a fact ill never use the belt clip.
[Streak 5 Accessories] ramtix:
The noreve looks better..plus there is a stand on the back , bit more functional
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
Thanks all for the input. I am surprised that many have stated that a belt clip is not desired. I must say, I have been carrying it around with the cloth pouch that came with it for the last few weeks and I really don't think I would trust not having it on my belt. This may be because I have always had a leather flip type case for all my previous phones for close to 15+ years.

The other thing is that I don't think I would trust to keep it in jeans pocket and other than work, I don't carry any sort of bag with me, so I need something that does not consume one hand.

But this is interesting feedback. I was hoping to get something more like this and not some adhesive thing. Although, they seem to only be selling a minimum quantity of 1500.

Also, Noreve seems to have this clip which I don't know if it was the one they offered before, but it looks like it is a new design. I will need to contact them to see if their streak case has the place to screw in the part that slides into the clip. But, the one with the rivets and backing plate does look a whole lot more secure.
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
I ordered one of these with belt clip number 01 (scroll down to look at options). They will custom make them to your dimensions if you want to put it in the case with a cover on it. I have not received mine yet, but reviews elsewhere were very good. They offer other configurations. Right now they have no listings because of the Chinese New year.
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
Well, it looks like the Noreve case + clip + shipping will cost USD $103. Probably twice as much as I was looking at paying.

I guess I'll be back to looking at the Otter Defender or the Tuff-Luv if I can modify it. So strange that most nice accessories for this phone is only available across the pond.
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
Yes, I had first look into this. The issue I have with this other than waiting for their New Year to complete is that I am afraid of dropping the streak after taking it out of the case. With the two I was looking at and also the defender, at least they are made to stay in a case and benefit from some protection.

I don't know anymore, it is becoming frustrating. With all these price points and pros and cons, it is hard to just try them all by ordering and no place to go an try them without purchasing.
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
I ordered the easecase large enough so that I can leave the Otterbox Impact case on the phone and carry it in the leather case. My thinking was that I have a carry case and I still have protection when I remove it.

The best way to carry/manage using the Streak as an every day device is still evolving for me. I have spent at least 1/2 the cost of the phone on accessories.
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
hmmm.....this is very interesting.....I know when I had my iPhone, I got this and then put it into a leather belt case, so this may actually be like the same thing. I would probably go for the commuter case however as I read the silicon is a bit different from the Impact and Defender in that it is less susceptible to lint etc.

Thanks for the idea. The cost will run it up there again to approx $70-80 and I'll have to wait about 2-3 weeks for the easecase part :mad:
[Streak 5 Accessories] marvin02:
2devnull,

I don't believe that there are any good inexpensive ways to carry the Streak around and protect it. I have seen reports of some people using a Nintendo DS carrying case. I looked at that and just didn't want to go that way.

I contacted Noreve regarding their CLIP and Case combo but here is what I got! :(
[Streak 5 Accessories] 2devnull:
A lot of money for something that does not close and you risk taking out an unprotected Streak and dropping it. A little modification and internal size would be ideal so that you can put a protected Streak (with Impact or Commuter or even jelly) inside it.
