Guest drblow Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 :D This isn't a real grumble, just an observation. I was just thinking about this last night, and there are 2 things about smartphones that have bugged me since I got one, very minor things admittedly, but since I use them loads every day I was just womdsering if anything can be done ... 1) reminder end times default to an hour ahead of the start time. I never use this funtion as all my reminders are set just for one time, and if I dont change all the end times, I get wee red arrows everywhere telling me all my appointments are clashing. :evil: 2) The 1 key - having to scroll through 9 punctuation marks to get to the number 1 - why on earth isn't the numver 1 first on the list?? :evil: Is it possible there are registry edits possible to change these things?
Guest Disco Stu Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Word up, Doc. The arrows annoy me when you have an appointment and an all-day event. Well, duh.. :evil: The whole T9 issue too - the ridiculous alternatives it suggests to stop you using swear-words. It's ducking shiv, I tell you :wink:
Guest Monolithix [MVP] Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 My t9 has always been a little insane (as well as unreliable). In its present state it is currently offering me: of > 63 > me wtf?
Guest Skunkchild Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 My greatest 'annoyance' is not being able to see the time a message was received on the E200 (except on the current day). I frequently wake up the morning after trying to make sense of the previous night's drunken texting and it doesn't help that I don't know when I sent or received a particular message. If I'm being a fool let me know !
Guest Dr Who Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I have NEVER been able to change or set any of the security numbers on my E100 because whenever I open security in settings it crashes out almost instantly. Had 2 E100's now and both have done it. On first day managed to set a startup code (SIM PIN?) and have never been able to change it or remove it 'cos I don't have time before the crash. Anyone else come across this???
Guest crafty Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 And is it just me but no matter what the start time you set for an all day event the reminder goes off at some ridiculosly early time!?!
Guest drblow Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Woah! Opened a can of worms there, eh? :D And I was really trying to avoid starting another 'lets complain about our phones' thread!! :D The number 1 key thing is just plain daft I think - why set the no. 1 as the last thing you get to?? I don't know ...
Guest midnight Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 drblow, guess its to encourage you to switch from Text to Numerical, as the numbers are always the last thing on all the buttons, the thing is, the 1 key is actually handy when using normal text (. and ,) and typing url's/emails (@ :D but they've missed out /, which appears only when typing a url into PIE (then it replaces , with /) so thats even more strange, the characters in the 1 key actually change :D gotta agree though, 1 should be the first character, but i have never owned a phone thats done that, they all cycle through punctuation first (no excuse, just shows that theyve copied off other t9 methods)
Guest midnight Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 Dr, who?, its always done that, but if you press back as soon as it leaps out you can carry on, this is fixed in windows mobile 2003 i beleive.
Guest bolasz Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 I'm using the new imate rom on my e200 and with this one you get numbers if you long press a key. Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Paul [MVP] Posted June 24, 2004 Report Posted June 24, 2004 If you want to see the time of a sent message on e200, just press 'up' when you go in to the message. P Posted from my SmartPhone!
Guest Dr Who Posted June 25, 2004 Report Posted June 25, 2004 Cheers Midnight - I will give that a try. It's driven me beserk in the past!
Guest drblow Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 1) reminder end times default to an hour ahead of the start time.

So, I DONT have to scroll through 9 punctuation marks anymore to get a no. 1!! :lol: Sad, I know, but I just thought I'd resurrect this old thread incase anyone else hasn't noticed this yet.
Guest mavisdavis Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 My t9 has always been a little insane (as well as unreliable). In its present state it is currently offering me: of > 63 > me wtf? Mines just started doing that too :shock:
Guest Disco Stu Posted September 26, 2004 Report Posted September 26, 2004 Oh yeah, then your E200 joystick stops doing down, and starts pinging itself all over the shop, and you call up the symbols list and you might as well stick the phone up on the well and throw darts at it. I can even beat that ; my current skin, the otherwise lovely "Pucca" by Airfagev's Arstrain (crazy name, crazy guy ! :wink: ) takes over the top bar so you don't even know if you're in T9 mode or what !!! Sorry, what were we talking about ?! ? :? Gothi's msT9Ed app rocks big time. Allows you to change the prioity of the T9 dictionary. :)
