please help
I have updated the fix for the camera, but now my xda has gone mad.
it keeps opening my text messages and internet explorer, every couple of seconds, my sync isnt working either, need to know how to revert back to the previous settings.
I can live without the camera and record buttons working but cannot live with it opening programs every thirty seconds

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.
Cheers

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....
thanks...

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.
Read the related posts on buzzdev.net, you will probably find the answer.

Thanks DotFred,
you solved my problem about camera / record non working buttons
Thnaks again!

Buttons work & leds are shining after install, but this features don't work after soft reset. Help please. c-shekhar WM6.1

Is is it just me???! [BeastyLeo latest rom]

Hi BeastyLeo,
I just flashed the latest release and i'm having lots of trouble The rom looks great and i so badly want to use it, but dont knw if i'm jinxed or something :-/ Please help me!!!!
1. The incoming phone call graphics is all messed up. The caller's picture and the caller info gets rendered 20-30 pixels below the top of the notification box and the bottom section gets cut off...
2. All the applications running started to behave crazy after a while. WpTask was active, and this is what happened - The task icons used to appear on the top bar (for example Activesync's icon), but the text used to be missing. When i brought up the context menu by clicking and holding the task, the rollout menu didnt list the name of the task again! I had options like Close, Terminate (with no Task names next to it like it would normally appear), and I couldnt kill the tasks at all! Even after i went into default memory manager of wm6, i still couldnt end the tasks. Only option was a reset....
3. The back button in the phone app comes with the sound, and now that slows it down for some reason
thanks!!!!
San

Ohhhh.... this is realy weird
Did you install the ROM with default options, or did you change anything?
This is horrible!

Hi Leo,
Thanks for your quick response!
I didnt do anything with the rom before flashing. The only thing though, was i didnt flash the radio file as i have 1.15 and i find it stable. The Tasks problem keeps happening, i had to roll back now to one of your earlier versions which works fine though....
Thanks, and i really appreciate both your commitment and great work!

If it's that bad I will try to do a bug release in a view days.
My harddisk of my laptop crashed and currently I'm trying to recover the data first. I feel sorry for you and I hope I can fix it asap.
-I noticed a view things with initflashfiles.dat after I decompiled our own ROM.
-Also PocketCM I'm not realy happy with, I think I'm going to take that out.
-Office I changed for our previous one.
Well... I'm looking into it.
Cheers,
Leo

Issue i got with ALL roms...

no matter what rom i try to use, ( i got tilt by the way) when i send sms or just type anything with the keyboard it doesn't always register all my keys. i press them firm and slow and yet it doesn't Always take the key i pressed. have to wait a min or two. any way to fix this?

Sounds like bad keyboard?

this is the weird thing, keys work fine when i first install a fast rom. it seems like phone slows down and lags a bit. im 100% keys work fine as they do when i go to a 6.0 rom. it is with 6.1 that gives me the problems.
srry i should have said with 6.1 roms.

Ive noticed the same thing with 6.1 roms.... And really the threaded SMS, and maybe a slightly quiker boot time is all i notice better on the 6.1 roms

ok well maybe u can help me with my other issue.
how do you find out what hardSPL you have on your phone?
i dont remember what one i put on there. and i tried putting new 3.56 just want to make sure it is on there and was put on right.

try disabling xt9....that made a huge difference for me...

I disabled XT9, and while it made texting easier... I always have to proof read before i send.
O ther wis it look s like thi s.....

thank you . i tried that, maybe i need to make sure most if not all programs are closed. thanx.

actually what will help the most is to set suggested words to 0, using kaisertweaks or advanced config, but of course that answer should have been easy to find as i've answered it personally at least 20+ times. Also disabling autocorrection seems to help too, but i think that the suggested words is the most significant improvement.

I have the same problem with my tilt. Dutty 6.1 hybrid. My problem seems to be limited to a slow space key though. so texts look like:
thisi s howm any of myt exts look.
I am going to try some of the suggestions and see what works.

There is no "on the fly" word suggest or spell check with this ROM.

Problem with keyboard and screen
I too have had problems with the hardware keyboard. I have tried 3 different roms, all with the same problems. Disabling T9 does help, but doesnt fix it entirely. I have also had a problem with screen taps not being recognized.
In both instances, it appears the phone is busy running another process and it takes a few seconds for it to focus on the program I have running. I have checked taskmanager when this happens and the only running program is the one im using.. Perhaps a program that runs on startup in the background?

Disable volume buttons when device is locked

does anyone know how to disable the volume buttons when the device is locked? this seems somewhat obvious, im not sure why the volume buttons are not disabled...
im using the at&t rom that came on the phone

http://www.ppcmobility.com/forums/showthread.php?t=381
this is supposed to work but it did not for at least one person...

didnt work for me, weird tho how this is such a simple requested feature, and HTC choose to not get it sorted out.
The whole point of the lock, is to disable all keys...surely??
dont know how many times ive put the TP in its case, only to pull it out, and see its almost silnt, as the volume buttons have been triggered.
shoddy....

For some reason I thought I posted this before, but a quick search doesn't find it, so I must have forgotten..
To enable the behavior you desire:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"DisableVolumeKeyDuringLock"=dword:1

Noob question here. I could not find this in reg editor... Do I have to create this as new code in HKCU\ControlPanel\keybd?

Yes, the key is not there by default, you have to create it
New dword.. DisableVolumeKeyDuringLock.. value 1.. hex or decimal doesn't matter as 1 is the same in either
I could just make a .cab.. 1 sec
Thar she blows!

Thanks! I will try the cab after I try to do it in reg edit. Kinda new at this stuff, so I am trying stuff out. The cab will be the back-up if I fail...

Tried this cabfile in my O2 Orbit II but no joy with it.

It'll only work if your keypad.dll looks for this key, the only one I know for sure does is the HTC Fuze, since that's the one I disassembled to find the key

Oh okay, that explains why it's not working on my Touch Pro.. Anyone know the equivalent solution for a Touch Pro that's not a Fuze? >_>

If you could post your keypad.dll I can take a look at it..

this would be really handy to have, saves havin to install more software to attempt to stop it, a simple reg file is waaay better

Same here, no issue with it. My stock rom:1.90.401.1

hello people.i have the same problem with my htc p3470. i ll try the cab file and return to inform u
edit: no luck unfortunately....this is really annoying..

Works for me. Have the elite rc3 rom. Just had to soft reset after applying the reg edit for it to work. Thanx a million

Thx man it worked using the cab file
My phone is
1.90.405.1 WWE
1.0225.19
52.33.25.17u

Just installed the CAB on my TP - after turning the phone off and back on it works.
TP( ex vodafone)
ROM 5.05.405.1 WWE
Radio 1.11.25.01
Protocol 52.58.25.30U

i experienced this on my TouchPro as well - i ended up flashing other roms to it which made the problem go away.
the fact that this occurred out-of-the-box left a nasty taste in my mouth tbh smelt like the whole stock rom was a half-arsed rush job thank god for the likes of NRG.

[Finaly] auto disconnect GPRS!!

After searching the forums for so long I finaly found a program that disconnects Idle connections after x-time..
Even with location or auto weather/twitter/stocks turned on..
It's called CommMgrPro (CMP)..
How to:
1) Simply install the cab to your main memory.. and when promped Proces\Service ---> choose proces..
2) When asked to restart the device press yes..
3) after restart a popup apears.. (skizzo) install it to main memory..
4) when CMP asks if it should be integrated with manila say yes..
5) launch CMP from startmenu and press right softkey for menu and choose settings. Once your in settings press the profiles tab and press the right softkey (menu) choose profiles-->add
Name your profile & Description than press right softkey (menu) and hit save..
when asked to create a 24 hours time frame schedule press yess..
6) now you can go and edit your profile if you want.. I just left it the way it was..
7) Back in the settings menu choose the connections tab..
Where it says default: choose your GPRS connenction and check close Idle connections. (set the timer to whatever you like)
for example mine is:
Default: Vodafone live!
close Idle connection: 30 seconds..
8) Hit the left softkey (Close)
9) Back at the main screen you will see huge button (unknown!) Hit it!
when prompted just continue.. tap Profile and choose the profile you just created and choose no time limit..
10) tap left softkey (hide)
your done.. back at the homescreen in Manila in the top left corner you should see your profile name..
If everything is done well the connection should be terminated after x seconds..
And for me it works like a charm!!!
Also there is an other program made by the same dev named bandswitch..
Some people in this thread state that Bandswitch is more than enough to get it done So feel free to try it out..!!
You can find the files underneed...

Fantastic app, that's what I was looking for , thanks very much .

Hi there. I'm not an expert on this, but didn't WMLongLife already does the same things and even more? I know it's working fine on my HTC HD2, but I don't really have access to 3G where I'm living, so I can't tell if it's "really" working or not. Also, the installation process is much simpler and common...

and worst of all wmlonglife doesnt always work...

Thanks a lot for this man. Looks like it's working fine with many people. Thanks for your quick answer.

And you installed it on HD2? And it works?
I've tried to install, then I've soft reset.
When I go in Control Panel and execute GB-SOFT Tweak.
First of All I can't see correctly the "About" tab.
Second, after I set the timer, I can't close the app.
Any help?

Mmhh, after the second soft-reset (done by removing the cover and pressing the red button for reset) because my device locked up after using GB-SOFT Tweak, I've tried it again.
Now the app closes normally.
But I can't see it auto-disconnect after the time I've set (1 minute) for test.
Do you configured it in a particular manner?
Can you help me/us, please?

Weird...
wmLongLife never works for me [tested on my Cruise & then on my Leo].
Seems like I'll try those two cab on this post. =]

I think this app might take too much memory for the less usage we need :/
However I've installed it. The problem is that the applications main screen keeps on poping every 10 secondes when I'm using my phone. For me it's unusable. What am I missing ?

guys.. just check the first post for commMgr this one works for real..
I also noticed that the huge battery drain has been halted...
wmlonglife would be fine if it didnt have this much issues.. and also when I quickly want to look up for something it takes too long to switch from 2G to 3G.. sometimes it wont connect at all..
that's why I kept searching for something that didn't have these issues...
