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.
To pre-empt any response! Yes I have searched (and searched for an answer
Firstly, has a simple program been written that locks the phone when the power button is depressed (a la Omnia)? I am aware of all the other
Secondly, when I have a call waiting, I get 2 options - answer or ignore. There is no end current call and answer. This means that I answer and the other call is still running. I did notice once the option to end call and answer but cant remember how I had it (might have been on my old Omnia).
Anyone help with either/both questions please?
Ta
Regarding the auto-lock feature, fire up advanced config and there is a setting in there, just make sure to increase the timeout for it aswell.....ive set mine to 300 seconds. So now when i power off it locks automatically, or if it is idle for 5 minutes it locks aswell.
Advancec config? Sorry, showing my inadequacy here. Is that in the start/settings menu (cant see that) or is it a reg edit?
Thanks
LOL
Advanced Config is a program that can be found here:
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
The only thing I can find is backlight lock level under screen. Crap aren't I.
You seem to be good at this. You know how to stop the screen going black when on a call?
To lock everything but the homescreen button(not fixed yet) I use S2U2 found here and it looks pretty too
I'd like to disable the phone from waking up when i get a text message... If i get one while the phone is in my pocket, the act of pulling it out keeps on resizing my text for some reason...
I have diamond tweak and the "wake on sms" is disabled, but it still does it... I've tried enabling it and disabling it again to no avail...
Anyone have any suggestions?
I have advanced config, diamond tweak, and total commander if any can get the job done.
Run phoneAlarm - which controls phone profiles and many other aspects of how your phone operates. It has an option to keep the phone from waking up on SMS.
The re-sizing may come from your touching around the D-Pad as you pull the phone from your pocket. That's what I was doing an it had me totally baffled for about a week - until I accidentally discovered that you could change the font size by running your finger around the action button.
Hrmm... phoneAlarm looks like it's a huge hastle to put in and i rather like the touch flo... wouldn't want to disable it to put in something else for this one feature I'm looking for...
I'm just miffed though... The registry key:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
is already set to 1... it should be disabled... but it still wakes up...
can anyone tell me why?... I DO have the sprint (cdma) version if that makes any difference but i don't think they would have jacked with sms wakeup...
bump... anyone know how to help with this?...
it's driving me nuts trying to figure out why it's not working as intended...
i also tried different things to not wakeup the phone on sms but nothing worked.
does anyone have a solution???
I have turned it on and off several times to see if I could replicate your issue and I cannot. There is an issue with your phone disregarding that Diamond tweak setting. There are a few things I would look at, are you running the stock ROM or did you flash one? What applications have you loaded on the phone one might be conflicting or overriding that setting. If I just could not figure out what could be causing this issue I would hard reset and before I load anything I would test to see if it works or not.

Does anyone know of a fix for the long lag in answering calls for the HTC Touch Pro? If you can help please write back in the simplest terms! I am just learning how to use the phone and finally learned how to download and install cab files.
Thanks!

What have you installed (to cause this problem)?
Do a search for "diamond tweak". There is an option to shorten the delay when an incoming calls rings. Perhaps that will help.
if you have S2U2 installed, you could try uninstalling or disabling that. You could also switch from the Diamond dialpad to the regular WinMo dial pad (the screen you see when go to the dialer). You can make this change using the Advanced Config Tool (i'm pretty sure, if not, then try Diamond Tweak).
There's also the initial delay value in the registry as mentioned in the last post.
These should all help, some more than others though.
there actually is an issue with Diamond tweak and advanced config...
if you use them to set your data disconnect time if re writes a registry value that makes your phone fritz when trying to answer calls.in reg editor go to HKLM/comm/connmgr/planner.
Look for a entry of suspendresume. change that to #777. shold cure your issue. while you are there if you want to help out your battery change the Cachetime value to 60. that will kill your data afret 60 seconds of no use.
weird.....suspendresume on mine shows ~GPRS! as a value??

thanks for the suggestions and how do I fix the hang up lag?
The slow delay in answering calls was a problem right out of the box. When I installed the slide to answer function the phones responsiveness greatly improved. There is also a huge lag from the time I end a call to the time I can go back to my home screen. Any suggestions for fixing that lag?

no idea, but i have the same thing
No luck with the tweak mentioned in post #5. However, after I replaced the HD CallerID with the default WM one (which is not that bad!) the phone responds rapidly :
1) Zero lag between first caller's ring and screen respond.
2) Almost zero lag between first caller's ring and bluetooth handset ring.
3) Less than 0.5 ring before the device starts ringing.
Only a minor problem : The bluetooth icon does not show any more on the taskbar although the BT connections works fine !
Ok, where do you change to the default caller ID? I tried the registry edit and changing to the default dialer skin and had the same problem. This is so frustrating! About 50% of the time when it rings I hit the answer button and nothing happens. It even takes about 10 seconds before the screen changes from the home screen to the phone screen when it starts ringing.
How big a file for the ringtone are you using? The bigger the file, IMHO, the longer it'd take for the phone to load it...
Delete your call history and the lag after hanging up should disappear.
Htc Diamond Regedit
Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC.
I used PHM Regsitry. I found the Suspendresume key, and it wrote GPRS!
I clicked the key, and because I did not know who to change the value, I just wrote #777.
Now when I try to go there and change what I did, when I click Settings in regedit, it is emty or the program crackes.
Please help.
Paches and fixes
Goto HTC's website. There is a patch to resolve the issue for the delay in sound when answering calls.
Regarding the delay after the phone cal has been discontinued use "Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3" (search this site). There is a setting that you can change to resolve it (default is 3000ms[3sec])

This hangup delay is one of the first settings I changed when I got the phone. Almost everytime I scroll through contacts phonebooks, the phone would accidentally dial, so I press end end end repeatedly, but by the time it hangs up, the other party already had my caller id, and would call back asking why I called.
Why is this 3 sec delay built-in? There must be a reasoning behind it.
And while we're on the delay issue, why did they set the camera up with a 3-5 second delay to shoot? Is it for the autofocus? I got rid of the reg setting, now the camera is faster, and no autofocus issues... so why were these delays there to begin with?

How did you changed the shooting delay in camera settings? What registry edit did you made?

its in Schaps Advanced config 3.3 under Camera. But i digress...
it still begs the question, from an engineering standpoint, why did they set up these delays and lags?

I don't know if you resolved your issue.
You just have to erase "~GPRS!" and type in "#777"
No quotes of course.
I use Dotfred Task Manager 3.1
Same problem
I recently got this problem with the answer lag, I was using the same rom, same applications, same everything for the past few weeks. I am not entirely sure what caused the problem.
What would happen is when I get a call and I hit the answer key, the phone stops ringing and vibrating but it would still be flashing and has the phone number shown, I also have the slider installed and when I slide it, the same problem comes up!
In my reg editor, I do not have HKLM!
Any advise would be appreciated, this is getting annoying for both sides of the call.
Thank You
UPDATE
I actually may have found the solution, I removed the wireless manager shortcut when holding the answer button, and so far it's been working very quickly.
Go to settings -> Buttons and switch "button 1" from w/e u had to "<none>" I didn't even restart my phone...
2nd Update
Nope, just got an international call and it's holding it up... maybe it has to do with caller ID ?
HKLM is HKey_Local_Machine
I am trying to prevent my TP2 from automatically going on standby mode after calls end. Anyone know which registry entry I need to edit?
Maybe you can have a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4430725
Hope that can help....any further helps are needed.
Thanks for the reply. That is to reassign the wake-up key. I do not want it to automatically go on standby after every call. I am severely physically disabled and cannot press the hardware keys.
might be a dumb question to ask, but since I don't know of any setting/software that would make you're phone go into standby immediately following a call, are you sure that...
1) it sleeps IMMEDIATELY after the call....and
2) Tah you're device isn't simply suspending according to you power/backlight options set in Settings / System / Power / Advanced "turn off backlight" & "turn off device" settings?
I know that the backlight will fast sleep DURING a call which can also be changed but it sounds like your issue is different than this.
Post further details for addional help.

Do you have a TP2? I was told by HTC tech support that this "feature" is to save battery life and cannot be changed in the settings. I am positive it goes on standby immediately after every call. I have been through every setting on the phone and cannot find the cause. I am going to re-flash the stock ROM to see if there's a difference.
If you have a TP2...
1) What ROM are you running?
2) After a call, do not touch your phone. Do not even hit the End key. See if your phone goes on standby.
ok...yes I think the setting ur referring to is the FAST SLEEP on phone calls. Meaning the backlight goes off nearly immediately after RECEIVING a call but while ur still on the phone....right?
I am not sure the registry entry right now but there is a tweak app that should fix that for you. Not sure what that app is on a TP2 but on Kaiser/Tytan 2 it's a kaiser tweak and on my Fuze/Diamond it's the Diamond Tweak app. Maybe someone can comment as to whether the Diamond Tweak app is compatible with the TP2 or maybe google "kaiser tweak for touch pro 2". BTW it is a tweak/hack and not a system setting that you can disable that I know of. So flashing ROMs is pointless u'll still have to tweak unless it's already tweaked n the rom.
Give me a day/so I'll find that and post back
I'll look for the registry hack if someone doesnt beat me to the post.
Hope that helps......
hey try these registry hacks on ur phone to see if that prevents what ur trying to stop. To edit the registry u can install and use total commander
*** Prevent Fast Sleep During Phone Call ***
HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD
ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
******
Hope that Helps!
My device does not go to sleep during calls. ONLY after calls end. I have tried 2 apps, and neither worked.
NoSleep
Power Tweaker 2
Thanks for the suggestions, let's keep trying! I'm sure we can figure this out!

Just tried these. Still no luck. Any other suggestions?
Any current "device lock" or power related programs currently installed that might have a setting controlling the status/suspend of the phone after a call is hung up? I think Slide to Unlock used to have a setting that did this, so maybe it's another app that is unknowingly causing this behavior.
I will google a bit and see what else I might be able to come up with. Thanks for the clarification on whether it is during/after a call. Sleeping immediately AFTER a call is not a normal behavior with my phone or my previous winmo phone either... so it is a bit puzzling to me.

The only app I have installed currently is Touchtris. I am using EnergyROM StandardM2.5 from Sept 12.
Your continued help is greatly appreciated.
I have somewhat found out what was causing my issue. I was using EnergyROM StandardM2.5 build Sept 12. I re-flashed my TP2 to the stock ROM, and my issue is resolved.
So the problem is either in the EnergyROM or Windows Mobile 6.5. I am going to flash another WM 6.5 ROM to see if the issue returns.
HTC tech support claims that the auto standby is an intended power saving feature, but it is not happening on the shipped ROM.
