ooo thx Skwyk

hi. I Disabled MIS1 device using FdcSoft task manager and now I tried to enable/start it again but it just shows error..and now my screen wont get portrait or landscape (depending on where I filp the universal upon soft reset). It will remian at one orientation.
I deleted the exe.file & replaced with another version of the task manager but no success.
Is there any other task managers that i can enable the MISI again? pls help.
p.s. It seems I can't use the cab file "show rotate icon' after using this..

thank you all for your help.
after disabling the automatic rotation, i couldn't turn it back on but for me it's perfect just the way it is now.
thanks.

I like portrait mode, but after using camera it's stays in landscape and i need rotate back to portrait manually

It's a task manager bug, ask the authtor, he's somewhere here

I asked the question and got a working answer:
To re-enable the MIS1: device, set it as automatic using the Task Manager. Then use the registry editor (also in the task manager) to remove the following Keys
"HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\OEM_Misc\Flags"
and
"HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\OEM_Misc\Default Flags"
wait a few seconds, exit the task manager, wait a few more seconds and then soft reset. When the device comes back, automatic screen orientation is once again enabled. I suspect that its just a small bug in the program, and now I have a work-around I'm very happy, but I hope the author does produce a new version

this answer came a bit too late...i did it the hard way.."sprite backup"...anyway..auto switch orientation is actually pretty cool, except, when i flip it during an incoming call..it tends to "lag"...and the call gets unanswered!!! now the problem is...i can't seem to put back the default "show screen orientation" cab file for the tray bar icon!

I've just had a play, and adding a dword value of 1000 (hex) with the name of Flags to HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\OEM_Misc\Flags has stopped the auto-rotation, but the little icon on the today screen still works - best of both worlds for me.
Cheers,
Steve.

Looks like there may be unwanted side effects. Sometimes the screen's backlight times out, despite having that setting switched off, but it does come back on if you touch the screen, and sometimes the screen doesn't go off when you close the clamshell. :-(

Backlight turn of after 10 sec

Hello,
My phone turns of the display after 10 sec.
It reacts on a keypress but it is very anoying.
Are there more people with this problem?
I think it comes from a program called Automatic Keylock but it won't go away when i Uninstal this program.
I think it must be in the register somewhere but it's not in the controlpanel/power.
Any suggestions?
MAybe a dll?

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPannel/Power/ then LeftClic to Values, If you have Display clic in it to see and modify the value, if not:
RightClic, New Value/DWORD/ name it Display; put 60 in the Value Data, Baseecimal .
Cheers.

Wow This Works!!!
Thanks This Was Driving Me Crazy.
This Is So Nice , Great!!!
You Are A Hero

you dont need to edit registry!!!!
it is in start->settings->power management
you can control how long it takes for the backlight to go off and the display to switch off seperately for on battery and on ac

If you have started to use CorePlayer/TCPMP and/or TomTom, then you NEED to edit the registry, as the value in the "delay before backlight will turn off" is modified to a billion number instead of 60 seconds.
Off course it's in the settings , power management....

But that wasn't aage's problem!!!
I use tomtom but I have created a script using mortscript that runs tomtom then deletes that pesky reg key. That way the power management still works

Not true for me. I use TT6.0.0 and CP and I don't have to make any reg change whatsoever.

How did you get tt6 loaded and running. and are you having the reported problems not being able to navigate the menus/selection lists with the dpad.
The problem kevin reports is with ttn5 mobile (which sadly is the only wm smartphone version that tomtom support - "support" that is a strange word when used in the same sentence as tomtom!!!)

Yeah I was referring to this one, since you're not supposed to use TT6 (intented to be used with PPC) , but here everyone use custom app/rom
BTW, I never used TT, just CorePlayer, and though it worked fine for some days, one day it refused to turn off backlight, so I created this registry dword and voilà !

Question
never mind

Autolock

Hello,
I am looking for a program that automatically locks my touch pro as soon as I put it in standy, with the on/off button. Because normally my phone is on vibrate and when I take him out of my pocket again it has typed text messages, called people etc etc.
Thanks!
Bob

Search for S2U2, Pocketshield, Throttle Lock, Touch Pro Lock... There are plenty of these programs on XDA.

You can also use AdvancedConfig to enable autolock if you don't want to install any 3rd party software.

what setting in adv config? I don't see one that controls screen lock. Am I just blind?

I hate to report that yes, you are lol. It's under the "Screen" set of options in Advanced Config. Once you enable it, it's exactly wat ur looking for, no need for other battery draining 3rd party apps lol

since this thread is already started, i didn't want to start another one. does anyone know of any way (like tweak) to prevent the built-in autolock feature from minimizing all programs? for example, i'll be on opera, have to get sumwhere quickly so I press the power button to put on standby and enable the autolock, and when I turn teh screen back on, the TF3D Home screen is showing, and opera will be minimized. can get pretty annoying if ur in the middle of doing something important on the phone lol

I'm not seeing it either. Version 3.3 and only thing under screen related to lock deals with the backlight.

Whew!! I thought I was going nuts. I was sure that it was not there. I was using NATF's 2.2 ROM and installed ADV config 3.3. There was not an auto lock option. However, this week I flashed to RRE's v4.4 ROM which has adv config preinstalled and there is an option for Auto Lock and to set the delay. I am pretty sure that they were both version 3.3 so i am not sure what happenend.
Oh well. It is there now.
cj

i am using pdacorner rom v17, and in advcfg, there isn't any autolock, in screen, What should i do

In ACT 3.3.0.0 under Screen, the 4th item is called "Auto device lock". Put it in Enable and you have what you want

I'm not seeing the option for 'Auto Device Lock' either, and I'm running Advanced Config 3.3.0.0 as well.

I have downloaded advanced config 3.3 from schaps and it does not give me the option to set the autolock either. I have also used a version packaged with RRE's 4.4 ROM and that did have the option. So I must be doing something wrong but i am not sure what.
But if you want to set it you can always try Diamond Tweak. that gives you the autolock option also.
Hope this helps
cj

Yes, thanks very much for the tip about Diamond Tweak. That worked perfect.

The only problem with this autolock feature is that it's still pretty easy to answer a call inadvertently. Ohter screen locks make it more difficult to answer a call by accident.

I can't get AutoLock Screen v 1.7 to start... I've installed it, soft-reset, made the settings, pressing the "Cancel" button...
...and my OMNIA is getting locked with the "traditional" way, the left bottom button "Locked" appearing and if I'm pressing it another button in the middle of the screen appears.
WHERE IS THE BLOODY AutoLock Screen v 1.7??? Why doesn't starts?

Few questions on WM6.5

Hey guys, hopefully you can help me out with some of my queries on customizing wm6.5.
How can i set the lockscreen to be always lit, instead of dim on wakeup/lock. I cant find any backlight tab in the power settings. Is there anything in the registry for it?
What about the constant vibration on normal+vibration mode, can I have it set to the same ryhtmic vibration for manner mode? I know there's an app called VAlert, but is there any registry tweak for it? Also, can I stop the music/vibration for a text after I tap on the screen? As for now, it'll only stop if i press the End Key.
And one more thing, can I remove the BCC CC From to subject fields etc from Messaging. I seem to recall there's a tool for it but I cant remember what it's called.
Thanks =D

It may be under Start->Settings->Personal tab->Lock, or on my current ROM, Start->Settings->System tab->Power->Backlight, and there's a checkbox.

I think VAlert should use a registry tweak to do it. Not sure though... As to the second part, I don't think that's possible...

Not seen that... Although in 6.X ROMs messaging uses html based form creation, so have a look for email.htm or new_email.htm in \Windows, and see if there's anything discernible in there.

Just found something new that may be of interest for question one...

Thanks for all your replies.
I have checked the link you provided and tried what have been suggested but unfortunately they did not work. My LockLevel key kept going back to 0 after soft reset.
Well I might have to just use VAlert in the end. Will check out the email.htm too.

Right... Very odd. Did it work whilst LockLevel wasn't 0? If so, I can write a quick applet that sets it to whatever at startup.

Well, I am not sure if I needed to restart for it to be take effect or not, but it didnt work when I lock the phone after I edited the registry. Screen was still dimmed. So I am not sure if it was because it didnt work, or the registry change didnt take effect.

As far as I remember, the screen remains dim till you tap it... Does tapping it bring the screen back to normal brightness?

Yes when I tap it, it lights up. But what I am looking for, is for it to not dim in the first place, to have it light up once you turn it on.

Sprint Touch Pro 2 ScreenLock

Drives me crazy that microsoft wouldent think to program the lock to automatically come on when put into standby ?
who wants to click start then lock everytime they set there phone down doesnt make any sense i am here to try and find i solution with some help ?
i noticed that if you put a password the lock works perfectly so my idea is to find a way or someone tell me a way to set my phone up with a password then erase that password so it simply does not ask for it after i slide to unlock ?
any ideas.

I prefer TouchLockPro.

there is a cab around here or ppc geeks thats i have used to solve this idiotic problem. dhr lockdevice. try it out works good

You can also program the END key such that a long press will lock the phone. To do so, go into all settings, personal folder, buttons and the long press tab.
