It would help a lot to know what device you have
Normally on my Universal I just press the on/off hardware button and voila

go to hkey_current_user/controlPanel/keybd/
change DefaultKeyLock = 0
now u can turn on pdaPhone with any hardware key!

WM6 Bubble Wifi On/Off Fix

Hi,
I wrote this little dll to solve the problem.
You will be able to turn on/off wifi from the bubble.
See the attached screenshots.
Install:
- copy bubblefix.cab to Universal and install
- soft reset ( I was lazy to write a setup.dll, sorry )
Now tap big G/3G icon on taskbar.
You should see the big ugly wifi on/off button.
Maybe next time I'll try to make it more beautiful.
Tested under Jwrightmcps' .06 ROM.
Version 2 (16th of March 2007)
-------------------------------------------------
- Button style changed to everybody's favourite grey style.
No more ugly button Check the screenshots.
- New feature :
Before displaying button, buttonfix.dll tries to read xpos, ypos, width, height
(DWORD) values from HKLM\Software\BubbleFix.
If it doesn't find any or all of these values in registry It will load default one instead of the missing value.
Default values :
xpos=8,ypos=71,width=169,height=40. This looks beautiful on Universal.
- bugfix : the previous version sometimes determine the wrong wifi state when 5 is written to Wifi value in the registry. I hope I managed to correct this.
Install ( if you are currently running version 1 )
-----------------------------------------------
- rename \Windows\bubblefix.dll on Universal to something else
- soft reset
- unzip bfixV2_dll.zip and copy bubblefix.dll to Universal's Windows directory
- soft reset
New install ( no previous version on Universal )
------------------------------------------------
-copy bubblefixV2.cab to Universal
- install the cab
- soft reset
THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!
cool cool nice one!!
Nice, szilamer, very nice. Thanks

what about the GPRS disconnect bubble? can you help?
i am also looking for a GPRS disconnect bubble
Bravo, I wish I have your level of knowledge so I could also contribute.
When I press WiFi ON, I am redirected to the Comm Manager, then from there I can turn the WiFi ON. Is that the way you made it? If YES, then it is better to just press the Comm Manager shortcut Icon or just press Fn + Right Arrow keys.

No with me i just click wifion and no redirection the arrows start moving for connection. Something wrong or the registry is not binding it correctly i guess.

What's the problem with GPRS disconnect ?
Have you tried to add the "famous" Flags2 to the registry ?
I've just checked on mine, and after adding Flags2 I have Disconnect in Connectivity bubble.
I attached the screenshot.

Something is wrong with your OS
I'm using Jwrightmcps .06 ROM and no redirection.
If I press wifi on it will switch wifi on without launching Comm Manager.
And neither dll code contain redirection code.
When you press wifi on it calls DevicePowerNotify, and SetDevicePower to set
{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TIACXWLN1 power state to D0. (D4 when pressing wifi off.)
For wifi state checking it's using
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Hardware, Wifi Value.
Can you check if
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State,
{98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006}\TIACXWLN1 value is
present on your OS ?

I have Flags2 in HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone
Flags2 ( DWORD ) = 16 ( decimal )
i did exactly as you posted above,yet there is no disconnect on the bubble. i wonder why!
I am using ROM 2.01.08 and I dont not have GPRS disconnect button either. I am new at this so I dont know how to look at the registry but I was able to load the bubble.cab for Wifi and it worked just fine . Could there be something as easy as a .cab that I might be able to fix my GPRS disconnect bubble. Thanks and much appreciated.

szilamer, how do you know how to reg edit? Do you have a map of the registry or are you an MSCP or something? Just wondering cos I regard myself as quite technical and understand registry settings, but haven't got a clue where to find the particular keys...

how do i disable T9 via registry hack

hi,
can anyone tell me how to disable T9 perminently via a reg hack? i am using wm6 and i have done the alt-space bar command, but sometimes at power up the t9 mode restarts and does not allow me to enter numbers so i cannot unlock my device and end up hard resetting it. i think this will be easier then bypassing the device lock password.
thanks
If you want to enter numbers, you should be able to just hold down the button that has the number. For example, to enter a "2" press and hold "E".

thanks for trying, but i am not new to smartphones and i have already covered all the basics. thats why i am looking for a registry edit.
there isn't one as far as i know.
on the S621, you just press the FN key and SPACE bar key together and you can choose your default input.
Cheers

i take it you didnt actually read the very first post in this thread.......thanks for trying but reading the question usually leads to a better result, lol
Strange... mine stays off with alt-space until I turn it back on -- through multiple reboots, even after one of those endless-rebooting sessions...
my problem is random. it will work fine for a couple of reboots, then lock up, or sometimes it will not get past the first reboot. very frustrating as i am on the road all day i rely heavily on my smartphone. looks like i will be waiting for a rom upgrade

Backlight when keyguard activated

Any ideas how I get the backlight to come on when the keyguard is activated? Its really hard to see the keys.
Also, in windows mobile 5 on my XDA mini s the keyguard deactivated when the passcode was entered. on this version the 'enter' button has to be pressed before the pass code is accepted. Can this be switched off?
Cheers!

I have the same questions... can anybody help us?
I did find reg hacks on the upgrading forum section - didnt work for me though
This is a big problem. Today I was outside and the sun was shining. I could not enter the passwort because the screen was too dark... I need some help.

This Registry entry swichtes on backlight when device is suspended and blocked:
Rename folder HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
OK, accept = yes, Soft-Reset
It's somewhere in tricks thread, for me it works like a charm.

It's not working. Although I renamed HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
-> HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX
After soft reset, HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel come back again & HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX appear to be a new registry entry.

Yes, that is right, both folders are there now. When creating LockLevelX, did you click in ok on the top / right side of screen ?
Rgds,
Yes I did that.
I thought your suggestion will turn the backlight on when we press the key while the key is locked.
Anyway your suggestion can help in the following scenario

I feel sorry when it's not what you were looking for. Anyway, "my suggestion" comes from HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks
Rgds,
Hi I found this 'fix' on google, i think it was on an HTC forum (i.e. via htc website).
I have O2 Orbit2 and had the dim screen on keylock/password lock. (While those who don't have it may not see the problem i couldn't actually tell if the machine was on or not, in sunlight, to unlock!)
The solution was to goto HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
and change the value to 00000003.
The only issue is that on my Orbit2, using PHM regedit, this immediately 'fixes' the issue but reverts on reset!
Just means I have to re do the reg edit after every reset.
BTW have been very annoyed at the '10 second' backlight bug so am hoping locklevelx will fix that.
Very glad to say that renaming lock level to locklevelx has sorted out both problems! I now have both folders HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel&HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx
The backlight now goes off after 30 seconds when the keys are unlocked.
When the keys are locked the backlight stays on for ten seconds, it will then come back on for ten seconds with any button press or screen tap.
On resume from standby, locked or unlocked the backlight is on.
Step by step of what edits I made.
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel; value set to 00000003;
then
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel renamed to HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ string battery timeout; value set to 30
SOFT RESET
Then looking at the registry
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel; has value 0
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelx; has value 00000003 (displayed as 3)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight Battery timeout = 30
As previously mentioned the renaming of the folder worked on my orbit II

Polaris touch panel locked for low value of Pressure Threshold

Playing with my Polaris with Advanced Configuration Tool Ver. 3.3 I made a big mistake: I set the Pressure Threshold to Normal (default). After reset was not more possible to use the Touch Panel. With CeRedEdit I found out that the value in the registry is set to 200 (instead of 19866).
Now I'm not able to use the device because is locked and I cannot unlocked because "pressure" is not enough. I've tried also to push as much as I can but without any results.
With CeRegEdit from my PC I can read the value of Pressure Threshold but I can't modify it because it needs to install a file on Polaris to unlock registry to write a value in HKLM.
I tried also to hard reset the device but it's not possible because keys (IE and GPS) are locked.
The only thing that I can do is answer to phone calls.
Please help me!!!!
Is there a way to change Pressure Threshold value from remote ?
Thanks

Search for 'My Mobiler'. Download and install on your PC. Sync Polaris and try running any reg editor on PPC from PC. Might solve your problem.. Good Luck...

I've installed it but it asks me on the phone my confirmation to execute remote.exe because the author is not known. It's the same problem that I have with CeRegEdit when I try to unlock registry.
I cannot accept because touch panel is not usable.
Thanks for the suggestion!
hi 'dknight71'
Why don't you flash a 'splash' or 'radio' using RUU (not custom RUU); that will hard reset the device... you will lose any data there though.

Try to press left lower Hardware button (the one under the green) and
the Wheel Button the same time (simultanely) and the Calibration
Screen should pop up allowing you to reset touchscreen treshold.

Is it already locked when you fresh restart?
I think it should work also in locked state.
Again: Press and hold left lower HARDWARE button, hold it pressed

Try looking for some WinCE registry editor that runs on PC and works over activesync, such as one present in EVC4. I don't know if it loads anything that would give a security warning, but maybe not, hence, certainly worth a try.
same problem
I'm having this same problem. My device is set to lock automatically when it is turned on. The Lower Left hardware button and center button trick does not work because it is locked. The only button that does anything is the sleep button. ActiveSyncing isn't an option because I have to unlock my device before I can connect. ActiveSync jsut gives a "Please unlock device to connect" message. Is the only fix for this going to be to enter the flashing mode (sorry, can't remember the technical term, but I mean when you hold the camera button while soft resetting) and re-flashing my ROM?
[edit]After trying a few more times, I was able to get my phone to hard reset holding the lowest two hard keys and hitting the reset button. It's sad, because I had just finished setting up everything after flashing my ROM. Oh well, hopefully it'll go faster this time.[/edit]

Setting AutoDeviceLockEnable to 1 works only when you have a password set for the lock screen. I don't want to set a password, I just want to slide to unlock.
Also, this setting locks the device ANY time the backlight goes off, be it due to being left idle or pressing the power button. I only want it to lock when I press the power button, and want nothing to happen if the device just goes to sleep on its own. Is there any way to fix these with just reg edits? I don't want to install any software if it's not necessary.

WHen you use this option, your device will be locked after backlight goes off. If you just want to lock your phone after poweron try SmartLock!
