Remove/Hide Phone Status - General Questions and Answers

Happy New Year to all!
1) I'm using HTC on WM6.1, when turn off cellular radio at Comm Manager, the phone status will show "Phone Off" at "Phone" dialer screen.
How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. Or can i even change the "Phone Off" to some other word (Fake operator carier name)?
2) new to WM, how to browse/view \\windows folder?
Please help. Thanks in adavance!

that's for changing the operator:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359563
and about browsing windows:
1. connect to your pc using activesync
2. go to your device's root folder (on your pc.. not your device)
3. dunno which version of windows/linux you're running, but you need to remove the "hidden" parameter from the windows dir...
then you'll be able to view it in your file explorer on your device...

1)
I can change operator name at registry w/o the app. But no matter what operator name u change, it will show "Phone Off" once you swith off the cellular radio option in Comm Manager.
(Simple, imagine using the pda with Sim Card/Phone function BUT phone status there show something else instead of "Phone OFF")
2)
i can't see any windows folder on my root folder (PC), i'm on WM6.1

1. i believe the link i sent you will solve this issue. try it.
2. you need to enable watching hidden system files on your comp.
which version of windows are you using?

1. aight, will try that 1st
2. i'm on vista, already enabled show system/hidden file

if you enabled showing HIDDEN SYSTEM FILES...
and you went to your root directory of your device (thru the computer, not thru the device), and disabled the Hidden property... there's no way you can't see it now.. unless something is very wrong over at your device's side

that's why do i missed anything? need to set anything on the device? just bought it all default setting..

nope. nothing. windows is generally marked as hidden. if you remove the parameter, you should be able to see it wherever.
which file explorer are you using?

normal windows explorer

hehe.. i meant on your device

erm..i can view it on my device but not in PC

you can view your windows folder on your device... and can't view it on your pc?
that's.... weird.

Yup.
Back to the first question, How to remove/hide this "Phone Off" wording from showing at "Phone" dialer screen or anywhere in the phone. ?
The "Personalizer" app dint help, it will still shows "Phone Off" after set to off at Comm Manager.
Anyone?

please help!

anyone have solution?

I'm sorry, i searched and searched and couldn't find anything relating to this subject.

It's ok, thanks for your help! hope some expert reply my thread with solution 1 day.

Maybe i make thing complicated.
What i want is actually OFF the phone (only PDA function), nobody can call in but when my girlfriend play around with my phone, she won't know i OFF the phone! i think your should know why i'm doing this.. but thats off topic!
SO, any other phone dialer than dont have this "Phone OFF" status showing? so that i can replace current dialer. i had use WM5, thats fine, no phone/network status showing, but dont tell me to downgrade to WM5..heh

Operator does not exist - after startup

Everytime I start my Vox I get the annoying message:
"The operator does not exist in the database.
Please contact your operator for the connection settings.
Connection setup will redirect you to the connections screen."
...and I am redirected the connections screen.
How can I turn this off, what is the problem?
I found some solutions to solve this issue on the Kaiser, but cannot find the same settings on my Vox.
Help would be much appreciated!
Me too.... BUMP!!
Lookup your \windows\startup folder for programs that look like "autoconfig" or similar. Disable them if you have configured your device properly.
Does this go away after you have configured your device?
It should once you did the job that the tool could not do for you.
SOLVED!
OK guys and gals... Here's how to solve this:
1. Find and Run the "Connection Setup" program (every ROM has it in a different place but it isn't hard to find).
2. You should see the "Select Operator..." screen.
3. Select "Menu" and the first option "Disable Auto Configuration"
4. Reboot
5. ???????
6. PROFIT!!!

HELP!! S640 users need files!!!

I think I screwed up and overwrote something in the windows directory.
I think it's one of these three files - netbios.dll, netui.dll or redir.dll
I put those files in the windows directory, then installed HTC network rom
and now my wifi shows the icon in the top, won't go away won't connect.
and for WLAN settings I only have -> 1. Connection Status
2. LEAP
3. Enroll
4. Power Mode
I am missing the options that is usually 1. WIFI ,where you can search and connect to networks.
any ideas? or do you have those files I can have?
thanks in advance
Never mind I just hard resetted it. then brought my backup back.
first time I used my backup so It's good to know it works!!!!

There is a number "1" on my taskbar

All of a sudden I notice a "1" on my taskbar. What is it, how can I remove it?
I've lost the ability to view my Wi-fi signal since this number is using it's spot.
Cheers,
Paul
i've never seen that before.... can you load a screenshot?

Here it is, notice left to the EDGE Icon.

Maybe it means that line number 1 is being used, I used to see that on Nokia phones but never on a WM device...
Dual line or sim card
Hi
I think that WM can display this number if it thinks you have a dual SIM card or two lines on your SIM card. How you might change lines, etc, I have no idea. I don't think the feature is fully supported in WM.
Cheers

No Dual SIM here, and I don't have 2 lines on the phone. Out of nowhere it just appeared. I just want it to not be displayed>

Did you try to modify icons in the taskbar from the mui files? Cause if you did, maybe something got messed up during the change. When did it start? Was it at a random moment, after you up/downgraded your Rom, been happening since you got the device?...Also, does it keep on happening if you soft reset.
Nope, didn't try to modify anything in the windows / mui's, only once i installed the HTC Call Recorder, since it didn't work i uninstalled that, but that was in november. This happened in random about 3 days ago...i thought it was like an updated "voice mail messages". It hasn't gone away. It stays after soft resets, i even searched through options in advanced Config.
Paul
OK. Get a file explorer that lets you view hidden files, such as Total Commander. Then unhide all files. Search for image files, probably a .bmp. Find the image that looks like your number 1 (it'll look different, probably black and white), and find what folder it is in. That will give you an idea of what program is using the file. If it is just in the windows directory, find its properties IE when was it installed there. That might let you narrow it down to a day. It's a hard work around, but it should work.
Apart from Dual Sim, I don't know of any program that would put a 1 in your bar, except for 1xRTT.bmp.
Where should I unhide the files? Windows Folder?
Paul
THe "Unhide files" option usually unhides files across the whole device, not folder specific, much the same as in Windows XP. There may be other options about which files to unhide, you want to unhide ALL of them, including system files.
understood, but where would i seek the "1.bmp" file per say....
You would need to use the search tool and search for ALL .bmp files. And if it is not there, than ALL .png files. And if it is not there than ALL .jpg files. And if it is no there than ALL .jpg files. It shouldn't be any other extension. You would have to search through each group of images until you came to the one which you are seeing. It's a long drawn out process, but should solve your problem eventually, or at least provide you with a little more information on what's going on.
UPDATE
Here is an update on my issue:
When I turn on my Bluetooth, the number goes away.....but when I turn it off, it reappears. Will do the searches now from work.
Paul
I also have a number "1" in my task bar now. I recently changed providers and it apeared when i insertet my new sim-card. Using wifi, bluetooth or other program that creates a taskbar icon makes the "1" dissapear. I have no clue what it means or does. :/

A Problem with Receiving file with Bluetooth from computer

something's being bothering me but not a big problem, any help is appreciated.
i sometimes use BT to transmit a pic or 2 to my TP from my notebook, connection have been established before. it was working well as i created a new file in my storage card named "bluetooth". when i used to send, it would accept automatically (without asking for permission to receive).
from today i noticed something different, when i send through BT now. there will be a notifying beep and a icon will appear on the icon bar (looked like the icon for BEAM) after clicking it, it will then ask me to save. but the thing is it does not save to my folder anymore. i went into BT setting and noticed that my shared folder is still the same folder but the item sent is not in that folder. the item will end up in my device's "my folder" folder.
any advice on how to set this up again?
i would really want to change it back to the setting when it would receive file from my notebook (connection established) automatically (without me having to press accept) and save it to the folder i assigned.
any help?
btw, i'm useing ENERGY 1.0 series ROM if matters
thanks

Screen broken Cant switch disk drive mode to activesync

Telus touch diamond
I need to do a full backup before I send the unit in to repair the screen, which is totally black.
The last time I used it was in disk drive mode, and now I can't change it back to activesync mode.
How can I switch the unit to activesync mode?
1. I've tried using the up/down wheel buttons on a working touch diamond, and it doesn't do anything on the activesync/disk drive popup menu when I plug the diamond into a PC.
2. There's no way to start the start menu using the hardware buttons, so I can't navigate to the settings that way.
3. I've never used remote control software, and I can't install it now - no screen.
4. Can I change a registry setting remotely?
5. Sending it to the states or overseas to somebody who can repair the screen without wiping it is an option, as long as they don't change the hardware. Telus doesn't allow foreign serial numbers on their network.
You can access the registry with CeRegeditor-but I'm not sure you'll be able to do it with disk drive mode selected. This is the reg key you want, but I am not sure you can do it yourself:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC]
"SyncMode"=dword:00000000
Here is a cab I made-maybe you can run it off your sd card. Good luck!
Thanks for helping.
CEregedit (or SRregedit) requires activesync running, so that won't work.
And I can copy your cab file to the internal storage on the diamond, but I have no way to run it.
This is harder than I thought it would be.
Ug, forgot you don't have an sd card. Does the internal memory support autorun? If so, create a folder on it called 2577, rename the cab autorun.exe and do a soft reset. It's a long shot, but maybe it will install automagically. Or, do you have mortscript on the phone? If so, I bet you could get the mortscript to autorun
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\OEM\USBtoPC","SyncMode",0)
Put that script in a text file, rename it autorun.exe and give it a shot.
Edit: You probably don't need the soft reset. When you disconnect from the usb, if the storage memory has an autorun function, it should occur then.
It looks like the internal memory does support autorun, without a soft reset.
I put the cab in 2577 and renamed it.
When I disconnect, there's a splink sound which I'm sure means a popup asking me to press OK in the top right corner or Accept/Continue in the bottom left corner, neither of which I can do. None of the hardware buttons are Enter/Continue buttons. I tried the dpad button anyway.
I don't think I ever installed mortscript, but I tried that too. Same sound, and it's still in disk drive mode.
The cab almost saved me (TP2 screen unresponsive). Able to launch it but still in "Disk Drive" mode afterwards (Touch Pro2) =(
I can run the Registry editor bundled with the NRG rom but can't navigate without screen to get the right key (or even enter one)... Could anyone transform this code in a cab file (without install confirmation) ? Thanks in advance
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers]

"EnableAdvancedChecked"=dword:00000001
"DisablePopUpUI"=dword:00000000
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
EDIT : I finally achieved making those registry values into a cab but can't install it successfully (errors in value/keys maybe),... Anyone can help provide the right thing to do to activate Activesync by default again ? Thanks
Or is there any way to put it in bootloader mode to reinstall with the former rom without activesync ? From sd card maybe ? please...
