vibrating keypad wm6?

I saw this registry tweak:
http://www.mdatweak.com/tweak_detail.php?tweak=14
that adds vibration to buttons of the dial pad
However I tried it in WM6 and it doesn;t work anymore. Does anybody know how to get it working in WM6?

I used the attached cab and got it working in WM6.
It looks like it makes the same changes as on that website, only automatically.
One thing I noticed, which might help or might not, was that it didn't seem to vibrate when I had "Keypad" under Phone Settings set to "Off".
Try setting it to "Short tones" and see if it works.
Oh, and you've reset your phone after making the registry tweaks, right?

yep, that was it. my device (htc herald wm6) was set to no sounds.
I found that it does not always vibrate. Sort of as if the vibrate motor has to start up. It worked best if the settings were set to long tones.
But I'm not using it anymore. in practice it is not as handy as I though it would be

vibrating keypad
hi guys. i downloaded the above attached file to my tytn 11 (orange). i find it does not work well (due to the time lag in the vibrating winding-up process) - and wish to delete it (it is actually quite annoying) and regain the normal keypad tone. i have gone into 'settings' 'remove programmes' and see no item listed. I have gone into 'file explorer' and delete the file name - to no effect. have i done the wrong thing? can anyone help me, please?

First of all...
This is wizard forum not herald....
Then use this...
attached let me know if this works...

+ Que PPC. thanks. have tried your solution (and then done a soft reset). unfortunately it has not worked! could you please consider another solution...?

noup really no...
I dont have other this works forme on Hermes and in wizard the truckQteka makes the dids! but i dont find it anymore. sorry men ask on Kaiser forum

Keyboard Light

I am having an absolute FIT with the damn keyboard light on my 750! It gos off after about 5 seconds, and THAT is ridiculous! I was told by a source at Palm there IS a registry entry to fix this, but he could not divulge the info (I did tell him I was open to receiving an anonymous email, but haven't seen it yet!)
Anyone have any ideas? He said it was the same one that worked on the TyTn/Hermes/8525 but I have not found it yet....
Help??

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight and key is QKeyLedTimeout. The number of seconds is usually set to default at 10. you can make it any number you like. Mine is set at 20.

I wonder if this also relates to my current issue too - can anyone comment?
The backlight on my Treo 750's keyboard refuses to come on IN USE - however I'm fairly convinced it's not a hardware issue; when performing a soft reset the keypad lights up fine during the boot cycle.
It's as if there's a registry entry that sets the "turn off keypad light after" value to 0 (i.e; always off).
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Steve

Found It in WM5
I traded in my WM6 phone for a Treo 750 with WM5 - wow, everything is where it should be, and the phone works the way it should!
As far as the On-Off issue, Steve, I see that in line in my phone - the key is set to 1, so I would try changing that:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight and key is QKeyOnOff change it from 0 to 1
Let me know - this could be my first crack at helping someone else out!!

I have a question. I can not seem to find the registry edit area for the Treo 750 running WM6. Can you help me in giving me some instructions on getting to this so I can edit the file to keep the keyboard lights on for longer than a few seconds?

on my kaiser it's set to 30 by default.

Hi there,
There is no default registry editor on WM devices, so you will have to install one if you want to make any changes. You will find a few built into well known commercial apps such as MemMaid and Resco Explorer (I've used both and they work fine on WM6). There may also be some free ones around.

Display is too dim when unlocking

When I lock my Orbit II/Touch Cruise the display is automatically dimmed - standard procedure, I assume. When I come to unlock it, in anything except a darkish room indoors is is very difficult to see the display sufficiently well to type in my unlock code. Is there a way to have the have the display bright when coming out of standby when the lock is on?
Regards,
Bob

this cannot be changed !!! cause configuration comes with rom [email protected] least i guess ---

I use an excellent auto-locking program that can be configured to light the screen for a few seconds to allow you to unlock it.

I use throttle lock. Very cool app, and very ligt >>> http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/65-throttlelock01http://www.throttlelauncher.com/portal/downloads/34-public-releases/65-throttlelock01

Change the Locklevel
Hey Man!
Use eg.the registry editor from schaps and rename LockLevel to LockLevelX
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel =>
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
Reset your device and be happy!
This works fine for me and activating the device happens in full brightness
So far

Changing the name in the registry works fine. Thanks for the tip!

Thanks for the tips (and the other folk too) - I'll get the registry editor and try that.

Dim backlight on Orbit 2
I take it you're still running the O2 today screen?
Load the HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.sch Home screen and Slide to Unlock (S2U2-1.05-WM5.cab) and you won't have problems again.
No need to fiddle with your registry or buy a registry editor either.
Search the forum for both the above files but make sure you download and run the specific file above for your Orbit 2 or else the backlight adjust tab won't work.

get the 6.1 update and this is all sorted out in it

Is the home screen essential to the process? I use WindowsVistaBlackQVGA and don't want to change it.

Running the Windows Update says everything is up to date, so I assume I'm already running 6.1 - I can't see a version number anywhere to confirm. "About" says Windows Mobile 6 Professional and a build number of CE OS 5.2.1623 (Build 18129.0.4.5) If there's another way to update and it would fix the problem that would be the way to go.

Just to confirm that it is the DIRECTORY name "Locklevel" that needs to be changed, not the Locklevel entry in that directory :-
Name Data
Default (value not set)
Locklevel 0
Perhaps changing the value of Locklevel from zero might have a similar effect?

MDA Vario IV transcriber problem

Hi guys,
Sorry to bother ye with this but I am wondering if anyone can tell me how to enable transcribing on this Touch Flow? I bought the phone (unlocked) through e-bay (from Germany) and it works fine. I like to transcribe occasionally but it is not available as an option (have checked "other options"). I searched this forum and cam across several transcriber CABs but while they allow me to transcribe the little menu bar at the bottomis empty (although there appears to be "ghost" buttons with some functionality). when launching the transcriber a dialog window appears with a tick box. It is very narrow and impossible to read what is on it. I am wondering if this is because the CAB was designed for a lower resolution screen?
If there is a solution to this please talk me through it slowly - first time messing around with such things.
Cheers,
john

bumpity bump bump bump
No ideas?

n e ideas?
bump bump bump ftw

Am I wasting my time?
Sorry to be persistent here but is there any sollutionn to this problem?

Really missing transcriber functionality
Still wondering if anyone can help out on this? I've been using the phone for just under a month now and for the most part I find it matches my needs perfectly. Being able to transcribe would make it perfect (well also showing more than one appointment on today screen).
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease help!

I am a transcriber lover too
What I have found works for me might be slightly teejus but here you go:
Go to Settings>System>Remove Programs and remove the first (or only) transcriber you have listed there.
Soft reset
Go to Settings>System>Remove Programs and if the same transcriber is still listed, remove it again. If not, and any other transcriber is listed, remove it. If no transcribers are listed, skip down to "Install..."
Soft reset
Go to Settings>System>Remove Programs and if that transcriber is still listed, remove it. If not, you can skip the next step
Soft reset
Install the file I've attached to this post.
Soft reset
Try to use the new transcriber
If that works, that is great. If it doesn't, I'm sorry. But good luck!

Any Way to stay in keypad mode during call?

My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.

I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.

yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.

Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!

I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.

If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!

I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!

I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
