Does anyone know of a fix to pop up a sub menu when I sleep a reminder?
On my previous Kaiser I could choose 5 min, 30 min etc.
I seem to remember a registry hack but have searched without results.
Theres a cab somewhere on the forums by "crackwhore" which adds this option. Only thing is it causes the pop up notifications to return to the old windows mobile ones, not the HTC ones.

When I'm on a phone call, the screen backlight goes off after 10 seconds, even though I have Settings->System->Backlight->Battery set to 4 minutes. Even if I'm using another application while on a phone call, the backlight goes out after 10 sec. If I'm not on a phone call, then the backlight seems to obey the systems setting.
FWIW, this is a Touch Cruise, with the 1.25.405.1 WWE ROM, and WM6 18129.0.4.5.
there is nothing wrong with your phone thats normal. but the fix is a registry change. I can not remember what it is but I am sure the answer was in the the big fixes thread somewhere. I keep seeing it in there but keep forgeting to change mine. If I found it i will post it here.
Thanks. I did a search before posting, but didn't find anything.
Check out tweak #38 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277
This supposedly disables the screen turning off during a call, I haven't tried it myself.
i think it's not a problem at all for me
in fact, it prevents you to ends the call or launch a program if your cheek touch the screen
Yeah doesn't bother me either, it's expected behavior. But to each his own, some people want to turn off that feature.
Fine, it's a feature. How do I turn it off? Tweak #38 extends the time to ~30 seconds, but the display still goes off. That's a real killer if trying to navigate some company's phone menu, or trying to read a reference document while talking.
Well, in S2U2 there's in an option to choose, whether the phone should
turn the screen off during call or not. This option is available seperated
for Battery or Powered device while calling. Maybe this helps. Tested it
and works. Though I hate it, when the screen stays on during call, because
most time when I hang up I recognize, that I started tons of apps with
my fat face So I turned that option back to default for my case.
You may try yourself.

Thanks. Unfortunately, S2U2 has a whole bunch of other features, which means a bunch of added overhead. It also needs a user manual to explain those features and options
So don't use what you don't need (or don't understand).
IMHO, it's worth it...
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
change "1" to "0"
I also found out this one:
Using Pocket Toolman2 (v.2.26.36), go to ''Tools''-->''OS Tweaks''
and there is an option to unchek the box ''Allow phone to go to sleep during calls''

THis is the better tweak and i have used it for a long time, simple
To pre-empt any response! Yes I have searched (and searched for an answer
Firstly, has a simple program been written that locks the phone when the power button is depressed (a la Omnia)? I am aware of all the other
Secondly, when I have a call waiting, I get 2 options - answer or ignore. There is no end current call and answer. This means that I answer and the other call is still running. I did notice once the option to end call and answer but cant remember how I had it (might have been on my old Omnia).
Anyone help with either/both questions please?

Regarding the auto-lock feature, fire up advanced config and there is a setting in there, just make sure to increase the timeout for it aswell.....ive set mine to 300 seconds. So now when i power off it locks automatically, or if it is idle for 5 minutes it locks aswell.
Advancec config? Sorry, showing my inadequacy here. Is that in the start/settings menu (cant see that) or is it a reg edit?
Thanks
LOL
Advanced Config is a program that can be found here:
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
The only thing I can find is backlight lock level under screen. Crap aren't I.
You seem to be good at this. You know how to stop the screen going black when on a call?
To lock everything but the homescreen button(not fixed yet) I use S2U2 found here and it looks pretty too
I am currently using the most awesome Dr. Gonzo WM6.1 ROM, however my phone seems to have developed a slightly annoying quirk over the last day or so. Every few minutes, it vibrates (two short, two long ..--), as if there is a missed call or waiting message (as I see this is a new feature added by Dr. Gonzo). However, I have scoured my phone and there is no waiting notification of any kind and there is nothing running in the task manager either.
The only plugins I have installed are showaco's FeatherWeather plugin and tlogix's CHome Configurator. Both of which I had been using for a while before this vibration issue started.
By changing the interval of the vibrations (through the menu/System/Config Notification), I can see that it is indeed this script that is causing trouble. Disabling and then re-enabling it doesn't seem to help, nor does switching the phone off. I really like this script (when it functions correctly), so I would rather not just disable it completely.
If anyone has any thoughts or suggestions, I would really like to hear them.
Thanks
I've had the same problem before.. the script reads a registry value.
use a registry editor (there should be one one the phone somewhere as its a Dr G ROM).
Goto HKLM\System\State\Shell and look for a key called "Notify", select it and set it to 0. That should stop it.. You might have to reboot the phone.
It worked for me..
Google for PHM RegEdit its free software
Hi people.
I've spend a couple days searching and trawling around google and various fora (including these ones) but can't seem to find exactly what I want... which is:
I want to be able to disable email, SMS and MMS notifications at night when I'm trying to sleep. However I still want to be able to hear the alarm I've set to wake me up in the morning...
I realise I could do this manually through the "sounds and Notifications" menu in WM6 "settings", but its a right pain in the arse.
I've tried the PhoneAlarm free trial, but it doesn't let you switch off specific notification types like e.g. just email and SMS, but not general alarms.
Anyone got any ideas or can suggest a program. I don't need lots of bells and whistles and other unnecessary control features - just a quick way to set the profile to a setting that turns off email and SMS notifications, but keeps on alarms - I'm even happy to press a button for this each night and don't mind if it doesn't automatically switch at my preferred time.
thanks in advance for any help guys.
ps. I'm running stock O2 WM6.0 UK ROM - I've never changed it... so please, please, please don't tell me I need to upgrade the ROM to 6.1 I'm way too busy and need my phone and pda working at all times to be dealing with flashing a new ROM and re-installing all my progs and entering email settings etc...
PhoneWeaver
I use a timed silent profile that switches back to normal before the first alarm of the day
hi
use spb phone suite for this, it allows you to switch. There are other programs that do this that may be free but i cannot for the life of me rememeber they were i somewhere on here i think... someone started a thread on it
and for alarm use g-alarm as its by far the best out there, if your not already using it that is
Hi
I'm not particulary impressed with the TouchFlo interface. It seems very rough around the edges, for example when you reply to a text message you get an HTC message thread, but if you select to send a new text message the TouchFlo dumps you back to the standard SMS message screen of Windows Mobile. The HTC message thread view becomes incredibly slow when you have a lot of text messages for a single contact as it wants to load all of them, not just the most recent, which seems bad programming.
It also consumes CPU cycles constantly even when not doing anything which all adds to battery drain.
So I've started to try and get rid of it.
This is what I have done so far:
1) In the Today settings unticked TouchFlo, this gets rid of a chunk of it.
2) Disabled the notification service, this allows clicking on the individual icons for battery etc and you go straight to those settings/information dialogs.
3) Disabled the EnlargeStartMenu setting so the start menu is the normal font size.
Things still remain, and I would like to know how to get rid of them if anyone knows:
a) The TouchFlo style volume control still appears, I want the original back which allows setting individual volumes for system and ringing.
b) Dialogue boxes still have the TouchFlo styling, how do I revert back to.
I've also been able to add HTC Home and all in all the device is so much better and faster.
Regards
Phil
maybe you can try one of those "manila-free" roms that are starting to appear in the roms section.
HTC has changed a lot in the Operating system, that's why you can't simply turn off those "skins" like in volume control, I think... At least I didn't find until now a way to get rid of it.
Wait for a simple 6.1 ROM without touchflo and its touchflonettes (lol)
How did you disable the notification services?
Hi
How did you disable the notification services?

I used 'Task Manager 3.1' to edit the registry, under the key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services is an entry for 'NOTIFICATION MANAGER', I changed the DLL key value to 'xNotificationManager.dll' so it wouldn't load, and this removed it.

You can disable 'single volume' and get the old style in TF Settings tab > Sound.
I'm with you buddy - see my thread on "Getting Rid of TF3D" for more info.
Loving my TD2 without TF3D - it's been a few weeks now and there's absolutely nothing I miss about TF3D. The TodayAgenda plugin is....just.....awesome.

I've sorted this out, it was some software loading when the device starts to skin the volume control.
The key is at:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\HTCVolume
to stop it loading I renamed the DLL under the key 'Module' so it couldn't be loaded and this now keeps the standard volume controls.
Regards
Phil
i know this is an old thread, but htc has two volume controls as well:
change HKLM\software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\ SimpleMode to 0
Just deactivate it from the today settings and you should be fine, it doesn't take up that much space.
EDIT: I just went back to WM6.1 from a cooked WM6.5 ROM, I'm going to buy SPB Mobile Shell 3.5 because I think it's more indepth than TF3D is even tho I love TF3D.
Save yourself the trouble of MBS 3.5 - it's the most bugged piece of junk i have ever seen, and in fact i have asked for my money back under their 30 days refund policy
TF3D is WAAAY better than MBS3.5 - and MBS 3.0 is waaay better than 3.5
/Smirge
Use my TD2 Tools app, its in a sticky thread at the top of the topaz general forum.
It has options to disable htc notification manager and htc volume control as well as options to bring back the small start menu! you didnt look very far guys! lol
