Hi there,
Installed the Crossbow version of WM6. It's really good apart from a few annoying probs.
- My backlight button doesn't work! So I can only turn on the phone using the 'POWER' button. VERY annoying!! Anyone know how this can be reprogrammed?
- When sending a SMS Text, the 'NEW' button has gone and now is replaced by the 'DELETE' short cut. This means that it more clicks to send a SMS. Again a bit annoying.
Any ideas how I can get passed these problems??

Not sure on your backlight issue as have not used that particualr rom.
Is there not an option to remap the buttons in settings?
As far as SMS issue, if you go to contacts, you can simply right click on a contact to send a new SMS, or if you are in messaging it's just one extra click, menu, new.
You can always install the "New Menu for WM5" applet which will replace your
calendar and give you the functionality you had in WM5, new note sms etc.
A simple search on the forums should bring up the cab for you.
Hope this helps
Regards
Beast
Thanks for that. I will have a look.
The 'NEW' button just meant I could create a text really quickly without tapping too many buttons. I know its only one extra click but its annoying
Also it means I might delete texts by mistake!

I use this app and think it really transforms WM6. Very useful, takes up no system resources significantly and is customisable (I have it as the left option button in the today screen, with new SMS, new Word doc, new contact, and a couple others).
Recommended.
OK will search for it
Anyone know how to fix the LIGHT button issue????

Hi,
Can you explain in more detail what your Backlight button issue is?
Are you syaing the backlight doesnt turn on/stay on I'm a little confused as to what you require. (maybe I need more sleep)
Cheers ,

could be a nice replacement for the now defunct videocall button..
but i think this is a really annoying problem, which by the way is not affecting everyone as far as I can see..it must be solved since these solutions are a good replacemente, but that's it, a replacement...are there any ideas about the origin of this issue?

yes i has the same problem not just with wm6 but also after i had downgraded my jasjar to wm5.0 latest rom so what i did was i searched and downloaded a program called button mapper or map or somthing like that or better yet if youve got the SPB pocket program it will allow you to reconfigure your hardware button for Backlight to switch to " Screen toggle" otherwise this function is not usually available to reconfigure.

I did try and search but found F-All. I'd like to see your search string that brings up this finding. I am not going to spend my whole day searching

I do not have any problems since i don't even have wm6, I was just wondering about the origin (not solution) of this problem another user had and begging for the expert to solve those annoying bugs; moreover I suggested a small and personal solution for his problem, so it's not my task to search for something I don't even need. please next time read carefully before reproaching who is not involved in the fact!

A lil work around to allow the video call button to be used to create a new SMS message.
I was going to tell you to use the search function too, and show you how my search for "new sms" or "sms" brings up that result...but when I tried using those terms it brought up nothing?!? Searching for "softkey" does bring up my post. Maybe you have to enter words with more than 3 characters for the search to work, which is a bit annoying!
Either way, hopefully the link provided will be of use...

I was wondering if anyone knows of a replacement phone dialer. I want something with bigger buttons if possible.
Thanks
Try PhonePlus.
It is great for simply dialing and for using phone numbers from your contacts as well as for sending SMS.
Sascha
Thanks for that, I'll download the trial and give it a go.
Cheers
Large Mute Button
Anybody know of a replacement dialer with a large 'mute' button? I need this for when I'm using the phone in the car. Thanks in advance.
Yes PhonePlus is great but only if it worked in Landscape mode would have been even better.
Kind Regards
Thanks for the tip, but I tried Phoneplus and the mute icon is still very small at the bottom of the screen. Is there a way of making it larger, or assigning a hardware button?
Try this one:
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/quickcontact.html
You can call contacts using Touchpad/Joystick with it.
phoneplus is really great.
www.mesoftware.biz
also they have released a new software called ezdial but it is not yet on their site:
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...latformId=2&N=96806&productId=174887&R=174887
phoneplus is a great software, havent tried yet ezdial but it seems to be even better.
I had phoneplus installed for about 1 month and yes is miles better than dialler. Sadly during this time my unit locked on average once a day (normaly when trying to activate phoneplus) needing soft reset, I uninstalled the few apps I had until phoneplus was the only thing remaining, took that off approx 1 week ago and since then not one reset required!
but
Does anyone know why? Is it poss to uninstall the default dialer and does this help?
For now I stuggle on with Dialler, at least my unit works when I need to use it.
this might have been discussed before so apologies in advance. any way to skin the white area for the phone dialpad? i know it's been done with wm2005 but i was wondering if this can also be accomplished for 2003se. or would anyone know the "gif file name" of the white background? instead of having a custom pic for the dialers i was hoping you can fill the whole screen with an image you want..
cheers

I'm sorry to hear that, you're the first reporting that kind of problem!
Anyway, just remove the entry HKLM/Services/CamRecSvc in the registry and do a soft reset.
Cheers
Don't know how
Sorry DotFred you are talking to a newbie, don't know how to change a registry entry, I have trawled through the forums but to no avail, can you either let me know how to do it or point me in the direction of where to find out.

Ok no prob. Denise,
Here is a little app. that you have to launch on your ppc, it will remove the camrecsvc service.

ps.: can you tell me what version of himalaya and the OS you're using ?
Thanks
Hi Fred,
you forgot to attach the fix, but it's no matter last night i trawled through the site and finally found the how to for my XDA its a XDAIIs which I belive is a Blue Angel, I have now managed to get a registy editor and have deleted the files but it has not solved my problem.
The problem I am experiencing is as if a button is stuck and it keeps opening Text messages and IE constantly.
I am using OS WM2005, can't find where the about button is to find the version.

What fix, the uninstall_camrecsvc.exe removes the camrecsvc.dll from the ppc and deletes the related keys from the registry.
And yes, if you have a BlueAngel, it won't work (go here and you will know which ppc you have http://wiki.xda-developers.com/). I don't check the type of ppc, and maybe it's a good idea to add that to the service.
Anyway, you seem to say that the problem remains even after the deinstallation of the service, am I right ? Are you sure the service has been removed. Do you have a file called /Windows/CamRecSvc.dll ?
Otherwise I don't think you have a lot of choices.
I would try a hard reset first and clean the registry.
If you have an himalaya:
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.
Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)
Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> NO
When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.
If you have a BlueAngel, just find somewhere here how to do a hard reset.
ps.: before doing this, I suggest you to do a backup of your pim and important files first in case you make a mistake at some stage.
If the problem still persists. Then I would suggest a reflash of the OS.
Cheers and good luck,
.Fred
Thank GOD!!!
Hi Fred,
Thanks for that, played about with it for a bit and reinstalled the fix and got a different registry editor, deleted the dll again and it seem to work.
only issue i have now is when in sync it asks me for server IP address, i have seen a forum for sorting this.
thanks again and that will teach me to just do an update without checking what device i have!

Hi Dotfred, after installing the downloaded file, the buttons respond perfectly. But the camera button takes me to MY PICTURES. Am expecting to see the camera icon there but vanished. I went to the program files to call the camera from there but I get the same problem. Am using 2.0

Just create a new Text document on your pc and open it with notepad
type this:
40#:MSCAMERA?shellres.dll,-8263
rename it:
camera.lnk
And save it on your ppc here:
/Windows/AppButtons
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: if the camera app is not launched then there is a bug or something different in that ROM
hi dotfred, unfortunately I have hard reset my phone and everything is normal now. The buttons are working perfectly with your application . Thanx and keep up the with the spirit of the forum. GREAT WORK!
hi guys...
just recently..ive upgraded to tofclock 2.01a.64wwe...and has the camera button function...but after i installed IA software..camera button dont work anymore...
then i installed your set up and still no luck....

hi DotFred.
You made a hell of a job by doing this.Thanks a lot, only.... the green-red lights still are dark at my Qtek2020 with tofclock's 2.01a.64wwe, radio 1.17
I copied the .exe to my device and started it, gave a soft reset but no lights. The HW buttons are ok (great!) Am I doing something wrong?
problem solved: I used the wrong version of camrecsvc.dll.
After copying the wright one (2.1.0.1) to windows\ and restarted the program is was ok. Thanks .Fred for the excellent program.

Just check if the camrecsvc.dll is started.
Some people said that the setup doesn't work on their hima.
So they had to do the installation/upgrade manually.

Buttons work & leds are shining after install, but this features don't work after soft reset. Help please. c-shekhar WM6.1
Hello everyone! This is my first post here!
Ive searched for this issue but I didnt find any similar problem, so Im posting here.
Imagine that i send a sms to someone. Is it normal that after sending the sms my green led changes it yellow?
Anyway, the problem is that after i send a sms to someone, it takes too long to receive a sms. However, this same problem doesnt seem to happen if i dont send a sms - it seems that there is a relation between the yellow led and the time it takes to receive a sms (I dont know if I made myself clear...).
The second and also troublesome problem is related to the input methods. My touch and numeric keyboards dont type letters; instead, they insert the symbols each key corresponds to (numbers or symbols)... this is what happens if u touch for a certain ammount of time. But, for me, this happens with the most slight touch...
Help me please

Yes, I installed PCm keyboard. However, i uninstalled it and it didnt solve my problem But i think thats the main cause.... maybe i need to delete some stuff of the pcm in the reg?
EDIT: hey! it actually did solve! i had to soft reset hehe
Now, for the other problem,can any1 help me?
Hmm... I actually found out that the yellow led is activated when I send the sms and inactivates when i receive a sms and there is no delay in receiving the sms.
Does anyone know why this happens?»
Hi Everyone,
I have searched Google and must say I can't find any solution for changing SMS WakeUp / Notification pop-up.
It is so annoying when the screen lights up.
I would also like to be able to disable that it shows the message in the top statusbar.
I have unlocked my phone by finding the "ChevronWP7" unlocker tool and send (by e-mail) the "ChevronCert" to my WP7 HTC Trophy and installed the certificate. Downloaded "Tom XAP Installer v1.2.zip" and installed "RegistryEditor 1.1.0.0.xap" where I have tried several registry fixes found on different websites: "modify-sms-notifications-in-windows-phone-7" but nothing worked also found a solution here and the same again nothing i working:
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
Could someone help out I would really appreciate....
Thanks.
Bump please
Bump...Lookin for the same thing
Sorry guys, but why would you want this? I hate it on my Android. I have to push the power button every single time, which in turn, kills my hardware buttons.
At least you guys go to your lockscreen with a notification at the top, I had to download an app to wake the screen and it bypasses the lockscreen and I text/call people every single day lol. I wish it would just GO TO THE LOCKSCREEN!!!
Privacy, of course!
Bump.
@Dj21o: With respoect, I can think of at least one good reason why this setting should be "settable" and that is privacy. I may be in an environment where I don't want just anyone to be able to see an SMS as it arrives just by looking at my screen.
The fact that you would prefer it this way is, of course, good, too, but I think ther choice should be in the hands of the user.
Don't youy agree?

Yeah, it should be available for those that want it, and for those who don't... It is a simple setting that make it a big deal for users, and I can totally see where you are coming from. Sometimes my phone unlocks, and that is swiping left to right. I imagine it happens much more swiping up lol.

You don't have the fingerprint security on? Have you tried repositioning the phone? Maybe the home button against your body as opposed to against the pocket? Or phone top down vs bottom up, etc? My pants are usually pretty tight as well but I've never noticed this issue myself (not to say that it doesn't happen, just that I've never noticed it).
