SMS, keylock and many more issues.

[AfroMan84]

Hi. I bought 2 days ago an HTC P4350 and so far I like it but come to some issues that I don't know how to handle.

1) how does one send an sms to multiple contacts?

2) how does one lock the keys and touchscreen when one isn't using it?

3) which program should one use to comvert movies?

4) is there a taskmanager or something to know which programs or windows are in use?

Hope to get a lot of response and Thx for your help in advance.

1> Open Contacts, tap&hold&drag to select multiple contacts then Tools - Send Text ...

2> Start - Settings - System tab - Button Lock.

3> You don't really need to convert them as long as they are not too large or has very high bits rate. You just need either
TCPMP

or
CorePlayer

but if you need to convert them, try
PocketDivXEncoder

SUPER

4> Start - Settings - System tab - Memory - Running Programs tab.
or you can try 3rd party Task Manager, here's list of freeware task manager

thank U for replying this soon. Although:

1) what is tap&hold&drag?

2) Start - Settings - System tab - Button Lock
when I tap on the button lock, it gives me 3 alternative: when switched off 1 to lock all buttons but the on/off button, 2 to lock all buttons 3 to lock none.
(it might not say that in those words and in the same order as I translated this, my P4350 is in Swedish)

After I selected one of them (it doesn't matter which the outcome is the same) I tap on the OK on the top right.
am I doin it wrong or is it something else I'm missing?

3) which one do U recommand, SUPER or PocketDIVXEncoder?

5) Another thing, when I connect my P4350 to the internet through GPRS and start Pocket MSN messenger, my today screen show how many new e-mail I have. And when I disconnect myself to both the GPRS and MSN, I can still see the e-mails, and I mean see: if I tap on the messages icon, I can read e-mails that I have on my account and that irritates me.

6) One last thing, the p4350 has 2 lights above the screen. One blinks when the device is on the other is for when the GPRS or WiFi is on. How do I stop the blinkings completely?

1> Select a contact by tapping it, hold the stylus there, do not lift it, and simply drag the stylus down on the screen to other contacts. You will highlight multiple contacts.

2> The button lock works only when the unit is off. You may also have Today Screen lock that will work when it's on and off. Look for a little lock icon on the Today screen.

3> I use both. SUPER works better when you have unusual video sources and can handle more video types. PocketDIVXEncoder is a little easier to use when you want to convert typical video types.

I still can't do the tap&hold&drag or at least I know I followed ur instructions. when I tap & hold I get the whole meny and then I can't drag it. when I tap & hold just long enough that the meny doesn't show, I still can't drag to another contact.
