And that is why there is chocolate and vanilla. . Truth is I might like Vodafone Today a lot more if anyone actually sent me SMS messages. All I get are emails, PINs, and BB Messenger. So it's just wasted space for me.

what i can't freaking understand is why when i get a new text it is there on the today screen then after i read it it goes back to my first recieved text... weird

I think you have the ghost SMS bug. A battery-out reboot will hopefully solve it.

What I noted during my brief play with Vodafone Today is that if you go directly into a newly arrived SMS from the homescreen (i.e. highlight it and click; don't go via the inbox) and then after you have read it use the Escape key to return directly to the Homescreen, it seems to clear the display. No promises but that seemed to work.

Here's a funny bug in Dimension Today. If you highlight the Profiles line and click when your Profile is set to Normal, it brings up the Profiles menu. But if you do that when your Profile is at any other setting, it doesn't work. That's okay; I use the F hotkey. Hopefully jibi will keep an eye on future 8707 software updates because these bugs will most certainly get cleaned up.

Anyway Dimension Today has already replaced Zen as my favourite theme. It looks good with the blue jay and the grand old rag. And I like that big clock.

Hi Jibi,
I think I am getting old, is there a way to change the font on the Vodafone Today? I tried to change the setting > Screen/keyboard but had no effect.
Thank you

[awad]

this is going to sound retarded, but how do i change the front conv. key in vodafone today?

[jibi]

@ gecko215 - the home screen fonts cannot be changed - only fonts within applications (phone app, calendar, contacts, etc) and lists (options, etc)

@ awad, unfortunately, you can't - on both Today themes, the front convenience key should default to the Applications List

[apple85]

cooper thanks for the advice on the battery pull but unfortunately it looks as if that only works until the next time you get an SMS and it'll be a recurring issue

My front convenience key was set to browser the whole time I've been using Zen. When I downloaded the 2 today themes via OTA, the front key still opened the browser. I tried to change it but noticed that I was unable to do so. I went back to the Zen theme and set the front key to Applications and went back to the Vodafone Today theme. It wouldn't do anything.

Any ideas why mine doesn't default to bring up the Applications list.

Any ideas when a 260x240 version will surface for th 7100 series? (btw i do realise this is the 8700 section of th forum)

Also does this suffer from the same memory leak that effects zen?

[awad]

yeah, my convenience key is still the keypad lock. i'd like for it to open the applications list. but im not sure how i'd go about doing that.

[jibi]

@ awad and thatboiwes, a wipe of the handheld possibly would resolve the issue with the convenience key. not really sure, though. definitely a bug that its not an option.

@ HuwSy, the UMTS 7100 device has not been announced yet, so i have no clue. maybe these will be available with the 7130g devices, though. there are plans for the 7100 series version, but i wouldn't expect it anytime soon, especially if it doesn't show up with this month's release of the 7130g devices.

@ apple85, i find the issue occurs more when i delete an SMS/MMS while inside the message. one fool-proof way of making sure that its going to go away is to read it, go back to the home screen and make sure its gone from there then go back and delete it. pain in the arse, but a band-aid nevertheless (until its resolved by RIM/Voda).

I had no problem of changing the Front Conv. key (FCK) to anything I want and here is what I did. Activate Zen and choose/set your FCK and go back to activate your Vodafone Today. I have Vodafone today as my theme and my FCK is app list.

[rforrest]

Why is there no Front Convenience Key option setting in Dimension - Today? It seems to read the value set in Dimension - Zen, but it's really annoying not being able to change it right in this theme.

(Using 8700c)

[elpapichulobklyn1969]

anyone out there with a world cup 2006 theme for an 8700?

[billclark]

Jibi, you are the man!

Don't know why it decided to work this time and not the 1st time I tried it, but it did. It's a pain having to switch themes to set the front key and change my fonts and everything back but oh well. I guess I can live with it until it gets fixed.

im using voda today - i like it, jury's out on if it will overtake zen. I always liked this style though, on PPC's I used to use...

I had my front configured for SMS Messages while using the Zen theme. After loading the today themes the front conv. key is still opening SMS messages.

Apparently, you can change the front key to whatever you want. It just takes a little bit of work. You have to go to the zen theme and set it to whatever you want. Then when you go to one of the today themes, the front key will still open whatever you had it set to.

[awad]

i set mine to applications and it didnt work at all. nothing happens when i press it.
