It's been a long time, but I havn't found the answer for this one as well.. ..did anybody have a solution for this "problem"?

HKLM\software\palm\varnish\diallookup\phonestatus
2 keys
goodbyesound
welcomesound

Great! Will check it out later, seems there is more to tweak on a Treo than you would think at first sight

I found the two keys at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Palm\Varnish\DialLookupPlugin\PhoneStatus
GoodbyeSound
WelcomeSound
They were pointing to two different .wav files in the Windows directory. I couldn't delete or move them, so I placed a blank .wav file in the Windows directory and edited the keys to point to that file. After I did a soft reset, the edits that I made to the keys are still there, but the stupid ass old sounds still play when I hold the power button on or off. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong? Are there any keys that exist to just disable them altogether?

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

I Have a S620 Italian..

You can use CeRegEdit to edit your registry from your computer

still waiting for a way to completely disable T9

Incoming call notification box problem

Hey guys,
I'm clearly a newbie here, been so for sumtime trying to learn while looking for tweaks and solutions, and I've been trying not to post so that I don't stupidly ask answered questions but unfortunately I have a problem that I need urgent fix. I've tried to search but haven't found what I need.
So here it is:
When I receive calls, the caller id and number seemed to be crunched together and unreadable under 1 line instead of usual 3 or 4. So I cant see who is calling me or from which number. This is rather important for my business to decide who to ignore and who to address properly.
I hope somebody can help me fix this.
For added info, I have made few registry changes and the last ones involve changing soft keys 112 and 113, and also installing HTC action screen before this problem.
Thanks guys!

I've never heard of this problem occuring, but I would recommend you skip stright to it and hard reset your PDA.
Backup all your files by connecting your PDA to your computer and copying over all the files you want to backup.
To backup all your PIM data (appointments, contacts, messages, call logs, speed dials and tasks) use a program called PIM Backup - details of this program can be found on this thread - Click Here
To hard reset a HTC Polaris, insert your stylus into the softreset hole and press it whilst pressing the 'Windows' and 'OK' buttons. Let go of the buttons 1-2 seconds after taking out the stylus. The send button is the green pickup call button, which you will be required to press to confirm you want to go ahead with the hard reset.
Hope this helps

I was hoping I didn't need to resort to that but I guess if that's the quickest easiest way.
Thanks for your help!!
Btw, which buttons do you mean by "windows button" and "Ok button" ??

Sorry thats the only thing I can advise you to do, but at least you will know that its probably the second best thing to do (apart from re-flashing the ROM).
Regarding the 'Windows' and 'OK' buttons, it is my bad that you probably cannot find them - the XDA Orbit 2 has these buttons, but the HTC Polaris has the 'GPS' and 'Internet Explorer' buttons instead. Basically, they are the two buttons under the pickup and hangup buttons.
Attached is a picture which may help you further.
Hope you get this problem sorted out.

Set first boot volume at middle level [SOLVED]

Hey
I cant figured out how to set the system volume level at middle in new builds...
This is the problem:
When I cook a new build, and it boot the system volume is at full level... so I want to decrease the volume to middle level, to have a semi silence boot because of the htc animation, and yes... my htc animation the one that works with the hermes and with the wm6.5 dont has the volume parameter so maybe there is a reg to set it at middle...
anybody?
Thanks in advance.
MANY thanks to all the support i found an answer works fine!...

Kool, pat yourself on the back Care to share the soultion my friend for future reference (or shall i delete the thread )
Greetz.

mmm

Reg edit via performance.xml
HKCU\Controlpanel\Volume\"Volume" Dword set in 200000000 yes nine numbers... hope works for more people here.
bye bye.

Thanks my freind

Can´t change registry values

Hi,
I wanted to change some values e.g.
Turn off startup aninmation and sound: HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation\ -> rename both “StartupGif” and “StartupWav” to other names
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Tried this with "CeRegEditor" http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?lang=en, but it says always "Write error", as if the registry is protected somehow.
Is there a trick to change the values? Where is my mistake?
Christian

Try a different editor like PHM Reg Editor.

With this prog it works. thx

just a side note. Keep in mind that sometimes some registry edits don't stick if you just do a soft reset via the soft-reset hole on the bottom of the device. Its best to Hold the power button and completely power down the device and then turn it back on.
