Joystick and lock.

Help me please!
How to disable joystick when smartphone is locked?
I have my battery drain, because the backlight is turning on and off when smartphone is in my pocket =(
p.s. I use WM6 by NiTroGenious...

I am looking for the same, but my phone lives in a POS case.

found a solution, but isn't smart enough...
Use maniac's Automatic Keylock
Set Screensaver Option On and make some changes in registry...

can you post a link to which ROM's thread you're using?
The newest driver should disable the stick when the keypad is locked. It has been this way with every new ROM since Andot's Perfect.
Did you format binfs when you upgraded your ROM?

It would be great but doesn't work with Nitro's Platinium AFTER binfs formating - I mean joy is still alive!

Well this is very odd. The driver should disable the stick when you lock the keypad.
Which version of Nitro's are you using? Link to the thread please.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365023 That one probably, because i'm using it and i'm facing the same problem.
BTW has anyone got a hold of 6.1 yet?

Considering that a 6.1 ROM won't actually be made, OEM, for the Tornado, you're unlikely to see a new joystick driver.
For you guys, I might suggest you search the forums for the various drivers and see if an older version might work better for you.
BTW:
Exactly what variant of the Tornado are you guys using? What was the retail name on it?

I'm using a Vodafone V1240, and like others mentioned before, when the keypad is locked, moving the joystick turns on the screen and backlighting. I'm using Nitro's Platinum Edition (including SP1). I have a habit of taking the phone from the holster and moving the joystick to turn on the screen and see if I've missed anything.
Personally, I never found it to be a problem - I've been incredibly pleased with the battery life of my phone, regardless of what ROM I've used, so either I have a Super Battery, or I never bump my phone in such a way as to turn the screen on. Of course, if it's SUPPOSED to do something, and it ISN'T, I become a little concerned.
The problem I've always had is with the keypad lock unlocking without me telling it to. I keep it in the holster that it came with in the box, and I wear it on my right hip, and I found that almost every time I drove my car, when I'd get out I'd find that I had wound up dialing someone at random and letting them talk to my holster. Sometimes it would happen when I'd just be walking around; I'd hear a beep, pull the phone out, and lo and behold, it's dialing my voicemail. I'm damn near religious about locking the keypad before I put the phone in its holster, so I'm sure I wasn't forgetting to do so. I eventually solved the problem by putting the phone in the holster with the screen facing in rather than out; since I started doing that I haven't had a problem with the phone unlocking itself.

I've just flashed Ntiro's ROM and can affirm that it's happening to me too. It's a problem with the driver.
Either the driver wasn't implemented properly with this new version of WM6, or he's using an old driver.

[SOLVED] iGO 8.3.2 stuck on "Starting.."

SOLVED! See post 8.
I've used iGO 8.3.2 for several months. It's not the most stable, but I still like using it. However, a few days ago suddenly it will no longer load!
I was literally playing with iGO in bed looking at some POIs I'd imported and it crashed. Since then, it gets stuck on the "Starting..." status when launching. If I reset the prefs, it gets stuck after accepting the EULA, and if I re-launch, still stuck on "Starting..."
I've wiped out the entire install, only installed the very basics required (a map, a voice, NO pois, NO custom anything) and it still gets stuck. Checked AGPS, don't use HTC Home, those are two problems with iGO I've found researching this problem. iGO8 doesn't seem to have any registry except a basic one in HKLM which I also tried wiping out.
I'm not sure what else to try.. My only other guess is a corrupted contact, so I've tried disable_outlookpoi=1 in the sys.txt, but not sure that makes any difference, and I have no real reason to think a contact is corrupt.
I'm really at a loss. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I'm pondering trying iGO8 8.0, but not sure I still have it anywhere.
For giggles, I turned AGPS on and launched it. It gets stuck at the POI Manager with it on. Turned it back off, stuck at Starting. Yay.

what worked for me is... uninstall, clean with SKTools, reinstall.

I used SKTools a long time ago to move some stuff from ram to the SD card, but I'm not offhand sure what you mean by just "clean with SKtools", more explanation would be much appreciated.
Reason I'm asking is iGO doesn't create a cab, creates minimal registry entries, and AFAIK only installs into Program Files, so cleaning it up is just a matter of deleting in a few places. But SKtools is pretty powerful so I'm probably missing something that it'll do.

no no, i actually meant a regular clean..
of course, it might have been only the uninstall that solved everything..
maybe you've imported a buggy POI file?

No custom data at all in there, no skins, no POIs, no schemes. I even reduced the maps down to the minimum.
I did do some searching in SKTools for anything related to iGO in the main "Clean" section after uninstalling, found nothing. I searched the registry, only found the HKLM\Software\iGO key I had seen before and have previously deleted. Searched the entire system for *igo*.*
Sigh! I don't know where to go from here! I'm sure if I did a hard reset it'd be fine, but that's not something I want to do. I even went into Outlook and exported all of my contacts out to csv and looked at the output. No funny business in there that I could find, no garbage, etc..
I think I'm going to try iGO 8.0 for kicks, I found it yesterday.

8 is what i'm using. build 54000. works great... and maybe a hardreset IS the best solution.

Yeah, to be honest 8.0 was more robust.. 8.3 has always seemed to be a little more unstable.. I've never been able to run it on a whole long car trip without it blowing up. But I used it for at least 3-4 months here and there. Again, couldn't use it 100% reliably but it worked.
And now this where it won't work at all.
I need strace on Windows Mobile. Bugs me I have no idea how to figure out what might be going on.

OMFG. It was because I have the internal GPS redirected to GPSGate and it was expecting I guess non-NMEA data. The internal GPSD just basically gives out lat,lon vs NMEA data..
Anywho, I swapped the registry entries around so com1 was the build-in GPS and it fired right up.
I guess it's been a long time since I reset the iGO settings because I've had it set this way since late January.

glad you managed.

I know it was a long time since you have solved this problem. But now in 2018 , I have the same problem. But in my car (andorid), a use Igo since car stock navigation is not so "update and cool" as iGo. And after 2-3 days I get this problem stuck on " starting" screen. Only after deleting data in app manager I get it to work, of course then I need to download maps again.
I only Germany maps, and stuff that I get from the official store.

New to Manila...

Ok I use to be a Blackjack 2 owner and decided to pick up the AT&T Fuze. I am use to using nothing but cab files but this whole Manila and cooked ROM thing scares me. All I am looking to do is put my home screen wallpaper on all the different screens. I have read up and tried to understand everything the best I can but I will admit I am no genius and I don't want to end up with a paper weight on my desk.
I would prefer not having to hard reset the phone but I guess if that is what it would come down to then so be it.
I am running Garmin XT Mobile
Here is a list of cab files (programs) that I am currently running.
Advanced Config Tool
Diamond TF3D Config
Net Cfg
NETCFv35
Scorpio 16v (4 row icons)
GPS Test v1.04
Resco Explorer (trial version)
Lumos Wizard
I also updated my rom from the HTC website.
ROM Version: 5.11.502.2 WWE
ROM Date: 05/06/09
Radio Version: 1.14.25.35
Protocol Version: 52.64c.25.35H
It is a HTC-P4600
I would like an easy way or a explanation on how to do away with the Nasty Grey clock and do the clear version and is there a way to turn the start menu bar and the contacts bar black or clear with white text. Like I stated I am no genius so I have fished the internet for the last 4 days since I got the phone and everything may as well be in french to me that how much I do not understand.
Here are the two photos that I would like to be able to use on the phone. It would be nice to be able to switch between the two if I decided that I got tired of one for a bit.

I know that this isn't something that probably can't be done in an hour but if anyone could please help me out I would really appreciate it.

Can anyone help me out?

There was a cab file kicking around that will change every screen to the same one, but it kinda ****ed some stuff up. I cannot remember the name of it, but try to keep searching some of the must have type threads its out there somewhere.
Next time try starting out by asking a question you see posted already, then when they all come running to flame you.... you can sneak in your actual question they cant be bothered to help with.
lol

AT&T applies several .PROVXML configuration files that will cause you issues in trying to replace some of the Manila components on their stock AT&T ROM.
Have you considered looking at custom ROM alternatives?
Cheers,

I have thought about it but am really afraid of messing something up or possibly turning my phone into a paper weight.

Understable; it's a big investment. Take your time, do some reading and when you feel you're ready ... do a bit more reading.
I spent a good couple of months reading before I created an account on XDA; once I felt I had all of the knowledge I needed, I created an account and started asking some simple questions to see how helpful folks would be.
Turned out pretty good so far.
Cheers,

I will second the custom ROM option. I was extremely nervous too (I bought the phone un-subsidized from ATT!), but the nervous feelings just made me read harder. Ultimately, I decided to bite the bullet and followed the "Flashing the HTC Raphael for newbs" thread (first post) by the ****ing letter.
So, after everything, the guide turned out to be exactly what I needed! (The only problem for me is that I'm a linux user and can't create an active sync connection, so I had to use the computer at work.) In the last week, I have tried out about 5 different ROMs, and they all out-perform the stock ATT ROM by a country mile.
My current favorites are NATF's WM6.1 for a lightning quick stock feel, and NRG's ROM for more of a custom feel.
As for getting around the hard reset problem, I reccomend using Turbo Contact Backup available here to backup and restore all your contacts. As far as email and SMS messages, I don't really care to back them up, but there are easy tools for that as well.
I'm sorry I can't offer more to your main question of using the same wallpaper on all TF3D screens, but I hope you are feeling a bit more confident regarding ROM flashing.

[PROB] Call operation failed

I have a strange problem with my phone... in brief, sometimes when i get to make a call I get the notification above "The operation failed" before initiating the call. of course in this situation if somebody calls me, they will hear that my phone is ringing, but in fact it's not ringing on my side, and I can't know if somebody phoned me.
a soft reset solves the problem, and I can again make calls without problems... until my phone decides to go still without informing me... the only thing that makes me notice is when I get no calls for like 12 hours or more... I then check by calling somebody and get this "Operation failed" damned notification -sometimes only- (which means my phone doesn't go still after a regular period.
at the beginning of this year I asked a question on the Energy thread:

}
but some times it turns into this shape:
a soft-reset fixes the normal icon.
however, I tried different Radios on different Energy ROMs but still the same tiny problem... anybody got a though about it?
ROM: Energy Phoenix2 Dec21
Radio: Raph 1.17.25.9
Network T-Mobile Germany
security unlocked
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't see an icon change now, but the problem is more than an icon change anyway.
I tried the following, but the problem is still random (not regular):
flashing a stock ROM
flashing another Radio
trying another SIM of another provider
but the problem is still the same...
I recently tried removing the Security Unlock, and now the phone goes still sometimes, which means sometimes the call drops before initiating, but I don't get the "Operation failed" notification any more.
again, a soft reset solves the problem
I can't trust my phone now, especially is that I use it for my work and school... which means my colleagues will be angry with me if they call me but I don't answer.
I would really appreciate any help!
Device: HTC Touch Pro T7272
ROM: Energy sencity 21916 Dec.21
Radio: 1.14.25.35
Security Locked
PS I apologize if you think that this problem is not worth starting a new thread in this development forum.

The Operation Failed
I made a screen shot of this notification and I'm posting it here
Happy New Year to everybody

I feel your pain. I had a very similar problem with my Raphael (on TAEL ROM at time), only difference was anyone making incoming calls did not get ring tone they got phone off message from network. I would get same error message as your image if making call (sms worked sometimes but not always when calls would not)
My problem would occur once a day usually early hours of morning & once resolved once would probably be ok fro rest of day !
I could toggle radio off/on to fix it.
Tried different Settings SIMs, Networks, ROMs, Radios, HardSPL to no avail. I started using another phone for a few days & when I went back to the Raphael for a little playing around it was working 100% normally without issue & still is today (currently acting as modem for internet via GPRS).
Hope you have same luck as me as I found no answers here or googling !

thank you very much for your input.
what I did is to set my calls to forward to my landline phone after 10 seconds of ringing, just to be notified of calls when my phone is in this strange mood... however, I still can't be notified when somebody pays me a missed call, which happens with me often from my family due to that I live abroad.
I understand this is not a common problem, but once it happens, it becomes a pain in the a§.
the guarantee is supposed to expire after 3 months, but I still don't know how to explain this problem to them, since it's not happening on a regular time line.
I hope I'm not going to have to send it for repairing, as I believe this is a problem that can be solved easily... I just need to be pointed in the right direction

Use another phone for 5 days with current SIM, reflash SPL,ROM, radio ROM, give it a break for the 5 days then load it up & see what happens !
If you seill get no joy get it in to service before it is too late.
take it in when it is playing up, push for a replacement rather than repair as short warranty would not give you fair chance to evaluate repair & most repairs shops would only flash ROM as first step unless fortunate enough to encounter issues during short test after ROM flash.
Good luck, mines still working fine at moment !

[Q] help with recovery

Follow the directions in the OneClick NvFlash CWM Recovery thread.. (the initial post). You should be good to go. It's in the development section.

i followed this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
specifically the part that says
How to revert back to stock recovery:
and i used the img5 file
like i said im new to this ive had a blackberry before this is all new to me

so was i right in the other thread and you have a factory fresh unrooted phone? thats an important detail

well i un-roothed it at one point ....
i believe i tried the factory reset when it was rooted, did i brick my phone?
this is what i did so far its at the SW upgrade with the yellow arrows part
what should i do now?

after you put the battery in, you should have just rebooted/powered up the phone. who told you to hold up and power? img5 was sent successfully. you have stock recovery. vol.down and power will now do a factory rest. what color is the text that say's reset all to factory? i think you're still in clockwork recovery even though it said img5 sent successfully. that would be odd though. unless your vol.up and power messed something up.

and....have you even flashed a custom recovery? why are you going back to stock recovery if not?

i guess ive been trying everything i find hoping that something works
ive got it to go back to stock and it seems as if the market is just not showing up
oh and you got a pm good sir....

fixed thanks to crazythunder !
way to go now whats next?

well ive beEn having fun with my phone
it doesn't die nearly as fast as before.... the gps works from time to time and it only restarts on its own 5-10 times a day unlike every 15 min when i first got it
now i get a really aggravating problem if i get a text message it re appears sometimes 20+ TIMES
what causes this ?

Its like it never stops with this dam phone!
for the last few days when I open the email program it takes a second to load then they are deleted a split second after they open. Gggggrrrrrrr

And it.comtinues today I get woken up with an alarm and a frozen phone. I had to pull the case apart and pull the battery out to stop the alarm
Trying to use taptalk to reply it wont work this will be the fourth time I've typed this reply
