Work around for AT&T Fuse PTT button assignment.

If you want to use that PTT button for something on your AT&T Fuze without buying software to do it, follow my instructions below.
Warning. Editing the registry can be dangerous if you don't know what you are doing. I suggest backing up your device before starting this. It isn't at all complicated, but mistakes can have unintended results. This will disable PTT.
-Set your PTT button to <None> in Start, Settings, Buttons (un-needed step)
-In registry export or delete: HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT and HKLM/Services/PTT.
-Rename Windows\PTT to something else (you can't delete it...yet)
-Create a blank file called PTT in \Windows\, set the properties to System, Read Only
If you happen to go into Start, Settings, Buttons and try to assign the button there to something, the PTT directory you just renamed will get recreated. This Null file will prevent the directory from being recreated due to a name conflict.​
-Create two shortcut links: short_PTT.lnk, and long_PTT.lnk in \Windows\, that point to the apps you want to run for each of those types of presses. For example: "\Windows\Camera.exe"
-Power Off
-Power On
-Your PTT button should now be functional without any errors, or PTT service messages.
-A short press will run whatever you have defined in short_PTT.lnk (I have it set to voice command: "\windows\VoiceCMD.exe" -min
-A long press will run whatever you have defined in long_PTT.lnk (I have it set to the camera: "\Windows\Camera.exe"
I used Total Commander for all registry and file operations. Assignments stick after soft resets and power off reboots. Setting the Button under Start, Settings, Buttons will have no effect. As a matter of cleanup you can go back and delete the folder you renamed in step3 if you want.
Other hard button press shortcuts include: Long_End.lnk, Long_Send.lnk, Long_Power.lnk, Short_Power.lnk

You ROCK!
This worked like a charm. Thanks for posting!

Wow, great job, I will try it later. Thanks!!

So Awesome!

Can anyone explain to me why under Start...Settings...Buttons...1. Select a button It only shows Button 1(Hold). All other buttons are gone...is this normal?

Yes. Out of the box the Fuze only allows customization of Button 1 (Hold).

Little Confused
I'm good with all the registry changes, but if the button isn't there to choose in step 1, should I do something before these steps to make it appear, then follow these steps? Thanks, sounds like an awesome fix.

Yeah, step 1 doesn't really apply. I skipped it and followed the other steps and it worked great!

Sorry to be whining but I don't understand. The first post does not indicate anything else is needed. What do I need to see all the buttons within the winmo6.1 Settings/Buttons?

Okay will try with skipping part 1. Thanks!

correction
True, Step one isn't necessary it was one of the steps I had written down while testing all the scenarios and failed to remove at the end.
You will not use Start, Settings, Buttons for anything at all after this work around. the Null file will prevent PTT from reinserting itself if you should forget and assign something fro Start, Settings, Buttons ... or some other software install auto assigns a button.

Thanks Proto for your time. So I am having trouble following along, in an attempt to help others in my scenario can you or someone help me understand the following items?
Step 1 - My Fuze doesn't allow any button changes except for button 1.
***Solution***Skip Step 1
Step 2 - HKLM\Software\HTC\ does not have a PTT folder; however HKCU does; HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT has a bunch of values in it
***Solution***?
Step 3 - What type of blank file do we create within Windows folder? I already have a PTT folder that has a few items in it.
***Solution***?
Maybe TorchButton, TF3d config, Total commander, or J.S advanced Config tool changed these settings?

Thresher-
Step 2 - I also didn't have an HKLM\Software\HTC\PTT key but did have a HKCU\Software\HTC\PTT key. I left the one in HKCU alone and went through the rest of the procedure without any adverse effects. I think that was a leftover instruction also.
Step 3 - I had a 0KB file called OK.txt already in my \Windows folder so I just made a copy of that and called it PTT and then gave it the settings he suggested. Seemed to work fine and was easier than getting Total Commander to create a new file in \Windows. If you don't have an OK.txt file, you can copy any txt file and then just delete all the contents.

Thresher
as for step 2 ... yes I could have goofed on HKLM vs HKCU ... since I already performed it I can't verify ... looking back at my notes HKCU is likely correct. The values in there are exactly what you are trying to get rid of.
as for step 3 ... you should have renamed the PTT directory to something else as the steps indicate. Then you are free to create a null file called PTT. There is no file extension for this file.

For what it's worth, I didn't delete the registry key (I was looking under HKLM) and followed the rest of the steps. Everything seems to be working fine for me. Is it possible that since the \Windows\PTT directory is gone and there are .lnk files for short_PTT and long_PTT that nothing is checking that registry location now so it doesn't matter if it's there or not?

when I started digging around on this I looked at the fix for the same issue on the Tilt. On the Tilt fix the reg removals were necessary. They might not be critical but if you will never use PTT I would just assume take them out.

Hey, thanks for the info on how to do this... one thing i've noticed is that when i don't have a cell signal (or when its searching for one), and I use the PTT button, even though its remapped per the instructions, a PTT error msg still comes up (its just a message saying "the PTT service is not available"). This isn't i huge deal obviously b/c most people always have a strong signal.. I, however, sometimes lose my signal in my apt (dead zone) so i was wondering if there was some kind of easy fix for this? Thanks

Proto + ITnv, you are awesome, thank you for your quick and kind replies. You are good examples of what I and all new incoming members should emulate.

I'm using total commander v2.51 and i've been trying to create shortcuts but they just wont appear no matter what I do. is this a bug or am i just doing it wrong. I highlight camera.exe then went to file--> A --> Create shortcut
then i named it short_PTT.lnk
after the wait, i scroll down looking for the shortcut and... it's not there...
am i just crazy or am i missing something... completely?

The .exe file to create a sms new message ?

Hi everybody ! (my first post on this board). I'm desperately searching something I don't find, I think that developpers will be able to help me :
Where does the windows file used to write a new message locate ?
I mean, it might be a .exe and when I click on it, it opens a new sms message. It might be somewhere in the Windows files.
What's more, is it possible to open a new message like this with the phone number of one of my contacts already set in the box where to put the receiver phone's number ?
(sorry for my english, it might be awful and difficult to understand : I'm french and I'm still learning this language !)
Thank you for spending time answering me.
Oh, I forgot sthg : I use a 6.1 Windows Mobile with a HTC Diamond, but I don't think that the phone model has sthg to do there.

Up please ! Tell me if I'm not understandable...

it's not an exe for a new message. it's an exe for the mail app called tmail.exe
you can use command lines to load other things. if i'm not mistaken a new message is "tmail.exe -new'

Thanks. I could have foreseen that it's not a .exe file. I'm gonna try what you said and I give you news about it. What's more, I'd like to know if it's possible to open a new sms with a predefined receiver's phone number. Yes, I've got some favourite contacts...

Well, it seems like it doesn't work. Maybe I did something wrong, here is a screen where you can see what I did on my phone : I use the prog TF3D Detacher to assign an argument to my left softkey. But when I click on the "new" button on my homescreen, nothing happens. (not any error message too). Let's look at it :
What's wrong there ?

please try again with a space between exe and -new.

I had already tried. It doesn't work.

Shouldn't you write "tmail.exe" on the App section and not the args section?
App: tmail.exe
Args: -new
Text: New Message
Try that please

I made You a clumsy tool if You cant solve it in any other way
It can be started with arguments, like below
(Shortcuts with arguments can be created from inside soft)
(Start it with Nr preset)
\\MyTools\SMSNrPreset.exe "077 1234567"
(Start it with both Nr and MSG Preset)
\\MyTools\SMSNrPreset.exe "077 1234567" "Hello Friend"
(Start it with both Nr and MSG preset, and auto send and close app)
\\MyTools\SMSNrPreset.exe "077 1234567" "Hello Friend" 1

You are right Arlanthir, I realise how very stupid I was. (I'm just a noob). So, this works ! I just still encounter an issue : so when I assign my left softkey to this app and this argument and when I click on it, a window opens and asks me if I wanna write a new sms message, or a new e-mail, etc. Could I directly, with that kind of arguments, be able to write a new SMS message ?
As for Eurocrypt, I really thank you for your little app, it works too but it doesn't appear well on my screen, I mean it's very little. What's more, I'd like to keep the original app included in my rom if possible. But I really appreciate your contribution.

Try giving it these arguments instead:
-service "SMS" -new
OR (if that doesn't work)
-service "SMS" -to ""

Wow. I really thank you for this. The second works fine ! It's great. Now I can have a softkey assigned to my favourite contact and which permit me to write this contact a new sms, pressing only one button. I thank you again and I hope that others will benefit of this too. So the arg working is this one :
-service "SMS" -to "the phone number you want to predefine"
Note : the fisrt argument you gave me opens the received sms box (I think it's like that we say ?).

Something else now. I've already seen that, is it possible to create a file and to put it on my today screen so that when I click on it, I can write a new sms with my predefined number ? I've already done sthg like this on windows xp, with the notes application, I have written some cmd lines and changed the extension (but I do not remember what it was).
I thank you in anticipation.

Do not think of today like a mobile desktop. Desktop has files, whereas Today has programs. You can't "put files" on the today screen, just programs.
What you did on Windows XP was probably creating a .lnk manually. That's the common "shortcut"
You can do the same thing and make it appear on WM Start Menu>Programs, and then configure your today screen application (manilla, for example) to launch that shortcut.

TP2: Cant increase maximum tabs in Opera?

I read through the instructions here on how to increase the allowed tabs in Opera from just the default 2 tabs. Everytime I increase the tabs in the user preferences, I hit save, and reboot the phone.. and voila - back to 2 tabs.
any advice here?

lucky you!

I had the same problem where the changes wouldn't stick after making the changes via the 'config: opera' page. I think there's an opera.ini file that you can edit that'll force the change. May require a restart of your phone once you edit the file.

There is also another way to do it. This is for the Sprint version, but I'm pretty sure it works for all TP2s. To manually do it follow the following instructions:
First get a program like Total Commander so you can edit files in the Windows folder of your phone. Open TC and navigate to Windows > Opera9 > and then locate the file named opera.ini . Rename the name of the file to opera.txt and then use file explorer the open the file.
Navigate towards the end of the document, and there should be some text that says something like "Max Number of Tabs = 2" Change the 2 to a 5 (5 is the max number of tabs) and save the file.
Then go back in TC and rename the file back to opera.ini and reset your phone. Open up Opera and now you can have 5 tabs

Pandora Radio for HD2

Getting pandora Radio to work on HD2 ( for WVGA devices )
-If you intall the new pandora radio cab for VGA devices from the pandora website you would need to pay for the service
-If you Install the old pandora cab the buttos are all over the place and their too small
This guide is for fixing all of that and gettig it to work properly on your HD2
(UPDATE)
You can just Download the .cab file from Here
Then go to >start>settings>Personal>Buttons> and assign the Send Key(Hold) Under> 2. Assign a program: and select Input Panel.
Assigning that key is for enabling the keyboar as the keyboard is not going to pop up automatically after assigning the key just press and hold the send/green phone button and the keyboard should pop up so you can type in your login info.
OR TRY THIS
1. Download VGA Pandora Files.zip from Here
2. Unzip it and copy the 4 files to your SD card
3. Open file explorer and Install the pandora cab, advance config tool cab, you will need Microsoft .NET Compact Framework 3.5 to install avanced config tool so if you dont have it already in your phone install the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i cab
4. Open pandora radio from the start menu and enter your credentials or create a new acc (dont skip this step becuase if you leave it for last you wont have a keyboard to enter your credentials so you MUST DO IT NOW) once you are logged in you will nottice that the buttons are all over the place dont worry about that and close the pandora app
5. Open Advce configuration tool from the start menu and navigate to Network>TCP Window and change the value to 98304
6. Save your changes, and soft-reset.
7. Go in to file explorer and replace the orginal pandora.exe (in \Program Files\Pandora\Pandora.exe) with the pandora.exe from VGA Pandora Files.zip (the last of the 4 files I asked you to move to your SD)
8. ENJOY

Seems to be a problem for UK users to access the service - copyright issues. So I assume this is for US only... unless anyone knows differently.

thnx everything worked except that u can't create new stations because there is no keyboard. is that how its supposed to be? I mean ill settle fir this tho its better than nothing at all. thnx anyways tho. still great.

...or you can get the WVGA version for the TP2. Am I missing something here?
http://fluffyphones.com/fluffy-apps/pandora-htc-touch-pro-2-rhodium-wvga-windows-mobile-download/
That's what I have and it works excellent on the HD2 -- buttons and everything. The only problem that I encounter is that I can't seem to receive incoming calls when Pandora is playing.

Go into settings. Menu -> All Settings -> Personal -> Buttons.
Change "Send Key (Hold)" to "<Input Panel>". (you prob have to change the other "Button"s to different assignments. I changed them to random things and haven't encountered any problems yet) Exit out.
Now when pandora needs you to type, just long press the Send key and the keyboard should popup.

When i attempt to change the voice command to text input it doesn't stay. When i leave the page it goes back to voice command. Is there something I'm supposed to do? I tried double clicking but that didn't do anything. It just won't stay on text input. Can anyone help me?

Make sure the Button (Send key/Hold) is highlighted. Then scroll up to <Input Panel>. You should see the assignment change then hit OK.
If the Button is not highlighted it will not make the change.

I got this to work. First, I installed Resco Explorer (Free 7 day trial): at
(I tried posting links to each cab, but as a new user, I can't post links...sorry.)
Next, I installed Zoomer (German site, but the App is in English):
(Link Removed)
(Original Zoomer XDA post:
(Link Removed)
and I installed the Pandora TP2 app found here:
(Link removed)
After these three apps were installed, I opened Resco Explorer, and found the Pandora app that had been previously installed. When I opened Pandora from within Resco, the on-screen key to bring up the keyboard was present. I simply was able to click on each field in Pandora, and hit the soft key to being up the keyboard. Once I entered my login information, Pandora simply started to work. I then ended all programs, opened up Zoomer, picked Pandora from Zoomer's list, and did a soft reset. Now when I open Pandora from the WinMo honeycomb, I can pinch and zoom (and reposition the zoomed portion of the screen) to make things easier to work with.
I followed this procedure on both my and my wife's new TMoUS HD2s and the the Pandora works fine on both.
Good luck.
(P.S. I like the Resco functionality, so I'll be buying the program after the trial ends)

what worked for me
i just had the same problem. i just pressed the home key went to the task manager then selected pandora and when i went back the keyboard was there again. repeat process for all of the fields and there you go free misic. thanks for the great work guys.

The first post mentions "the new pandora radio cab for VGA devices from the pandora website".
I might be willing to pay $3 for a more *official* way of making Pandora work on my HD2. My question is: Where on the Pandora site is this $3 cab file? I can't find it.

fucntions perfectly, first time install without incident.
thanks for the work!

[Q] Merge 2 Whatsapp Backups

Hey Guys,
I read a bit through this forum and i see you guys know a lot so I wanted to ask for help here .
Soo like the titel says i want to merge 2 Whatsapp Chatbackups together because i have 1 Chatbackup from my old Smartphone and one from my new One...I googled first and tried some methods i found there. First i tried SQlite Browser but it didnt work because my databases are like this: "msgstore.db.crypt7 or msgstore.db.crypt5 but they are supposed to be like this msgstore.db" correct me if im wrong ;p...so i tried WhatsappXtract and Sqlite Admin but it didnt work aswell...I tried to convert from crypt 7 and crypt 5 to crypt with Whatcrypt but it always failed. My Idea now is to 1. decrypt my Msgstores from msgstore.db.crypt7 to msgstore.db
2. To use this Instruction :
HOW TO MERGE SQLITE DATABASE FILES WITH SQLite Compare: 1. Open the old database file in SQLite Database Browser. Open the table messages in Browse Data. Press the Button " > " as often as necessary to get to the last page. Scroll down to the last message. Now write down the number (_id) of that last message, e.g. 65422 2. Now open the new database file in SQLite Database Browser. Open the table messages in Browse Data. Click on the first entry (which has most fields with value "-1"). Click on Delete Record. Have a look at the now first entry and write down the number (_id) of that first message, e.g. 12 Now Click on Execute SQL and execute the following SQL statement: UPDATE messages set _id = (65422 + 1 + _id - 12) (replace 65422 by your last message _id in the old database and 12 by your first message _id in the new database) 3. Now all messages in the new database have the correct _id`s. Click on Save. Close all windows of SQLite Database Browser. 4. Download & Install SQLite Compare. Open SQLite Compare. 5. File - Compare For example: Left file: msgstore-2012-06-01.1.plain.db Right file: msgstore-2012-06-07.1.plain.db (Make sure to have a backup of both files!) x Compare schema and data x Compare BLOB fields OK 6. Double Click on table "messages" in the result window OR left click on table "messages" and hit button "Edit selected difference..." 7. A new window opens, "Table messages" Click on blue button "R" (it`s located after "Refresh Comparison", "L" and before "≠", "=") 8. Now on the right side all messages are shown that aren`t included in the left file. Now you can select multiple messages (first left click on the first message to select, then scroll down to the last message to select and press SHIFT + left click on the last message to select). I noticed that you can`t handle too many messages at once as it produces an error. Just try. I succeeded with about 1000-1500 messages. Now click on the button with the arrow from right to left: ← Now the selected messages are copied from the right database to the left database. 9. Repeat the steps in (8.) until all the messages are copied from the right file to the left file. 10. Maybe you also need to to this for the table chat_list if there are some new chat contacts in the newer backup file. 11. Now the left file (e.g. msgstore-2012-06-01.1.plain.db) contains all the messages from the prior file msgstore-2012-06-01.1.plain.db and the newer file msgstore-2012-06-07.1.plain.db. (No saving necessary as the tool automatically applies the changes to the file after pressing the ← button).
Now i wonder if this would work and how do i do my first Step?
Sorry if this is a totally Wrong Thread im a Newbie
Thanks to everyone who read this!:good: <3
Btw if anyone knows how to merge 2 Whatsapp Backups easier just tell me ^^

Got interesting will try to find a way out..
Thankyou this never came in my mind.
