I am trying to change the "Phone as modem" value to "Sprint" found in hklm-comm-internetsharing-settings
I tried phm regedit, and resco explorer registry editor on the phone, then I tried mobile registry editor 1.1 on the desktop pc that remotely edits the phones registry, I also tried CERegeditor that is on the Desktop to remotely edit, and another one that allows you to "unlock" the registry like CE before editing (But none of them work. I tried all of the below with every single editor). I am using soft reset 1.1 and or the soft reset button.
I read that you have to wait a minute with wm5 and wm6 for it to save properly then soft reset and it will save.
I have made the edit, exit the program and reset, reverts to old setting. I tried to make the change and stay in the program for several minutes, then reset, reverts to old setting.
I tried deleting the key, waiting each way resetting, bam the old key pops back up.
I have tried every combination for every length of time up to including waiting several hours before the reset with the program open and then with it closed, and still after the reset, bam the original is back.
I even tried hard resetting the phone thinking maybe something installed keeping me from editing the registry, but nope.
I also tired the cab tethering fix files I have found....nope, still shows "Phone as Modem" in the key value
I even just tried reloading the rom from HTC to see if thats why I could not edit, maybe my version was messed up some how.
Nope, still cannot get it to save the "Sprint" value.
Please help, any ideas?
Anyone have any ideas on this? Or has this been the case for anyone else?

A few months ago, I upgraded from a Magician to a Prophet.
About a week after use, the prophet started to develop some problems. The SIM card reader stopped reading any SIM cards, and settings would not save at random.
The issue with the settings not saving was, say, I would receive an SMS, read it, check that it was marked as read, soft reset, and the SMS would either be marked as unread, or simply not be present on the phone at all. I would change the time and the timezone, double check and confirm the change, the change in time would save, but the timezone would not. I'd make a registry change, close the registry editor, recheck the value, confirm the change, soft reset, and the change would not get saved. I'd open File Explorer, check the recent apps, confirm that File Explorer was there, soft reset, and File Explorer would not be present within the recent apps after the soft reset.
Concerning this issue, the longer you left the phone after making the change, the more likely the change would save. But this would still not save everything. I'd receive a meeting reminder, dismiss it, then several hours later I'd soft reset and I'd be reminded again.
Of course, this issue persists through a hard reset.
I've sent the phone back to the warranty repairers three times, each time with a clear description of the above. Each time they send it back saying "No fault found", to which I can immediately replicate the fault upon return.
This time, when I received the phone back, they, once again, said they couldn't replicate the issue. But this time they decided to mention that I needed to wait 30 seconds to "ensure settings get saved".
What a load of bull****. My Magician does not have this issue. But I don't have any Windows Mobile 5 devices to test this on. Can I have some people confirm that you don't need to wait 30 seconds on Windows Mobile 5 devices to ensure settings save?
I read somewhere this may be due to a system font being replaced but I have not installed any new software in weeks.
Anybody know how to recover? I can't afford a hard reset.
Descriptions, But no icons or background
Maybe our problems have the same cause. The comm manager wizard worked for me before on my 8525. Then updated to WM6 and now it installs partway and stops. Message is "not enough permissions". I get the text for the buttons, but not the icons or background. Also can't afford a hard reset.
Would rather have your half of the problem. At least you can still see the keys.
Update. I was able to fix the problem.
At: http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/archive/2005/11/10/2376.aspx
found directions. Have included them below as modified to fix my particular problem.
The following reg editor at the blog site did not do the job on my 8525. RegEditSTG http://blogs.conchango.com/stuartpreston/files/regeditSTG.zip
I used the reg editor at here:http://www.8525software.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,27/func,fileinfo/id,86/
Followed the directions for what keys to fix in the link above. Reinstalled the comm manager "CommManager_8button_wizard.cab" and it works well. Looks good, too.
The reg edit I used works on the 8525 remotely from the PC. Just unzip and execute with the 8525 connected. Change the security policies as follows:
Navigate to HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\
Write down any entries you change, before you change them.
Delete the entry you need to change.
click add DWORD and insert the correct values in the dialog on the PC's screen.
Change "00001001" value to 1 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 2)
Change "00001005" value to 40 (decimal) (recovery note: default is 16)
To fix the security policy, I changed only ...005 to 40.
Reboot device.
I believe WM6 is taking on the same baggage as PC Windows, so that this type of fix will become the norm instead of the exception.
Hi guys,
I know that Diamond users had similar problem but I cannot solve this issue the way provided on Diamond forum. Or I'm doing something wrong :]
Reason - I've just copied my contacts from sim to TP and in Contact TAB i've got everything doubled.
I've tried:
1. Modify registry (ShowSim = 0) - doesn't help - after soft reset this value is still 1 (is registry locked? I've tried CeRegEditor with unlock registry option first - no effect and with TotalCommander - the same)
2. Tried advanced config for Diamont - No Sim contact, soft reset - nothing.
3. Tried this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1959449&postcount=4 - doesn't help.
Any other ideas?
Regards
B.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TBH Make a backup of your contacts as they are now (even if they are doubled)using PIMBackup....and delete the contacts from the SIM card. Atleast you have a backup on file off the device??
I havent used SIM memory for MANY years now.
Hmmm I've tried everything many times (mentioned below) and resigned.
Then after 2-3hours I've installed Green Battery soft, then restart and... now it works like hell !
I mean that no sim details in contacts.
So I have no IDEA with action fix this problem - a little confused now :?

Windows mobile will ALWAYS display your SIM contacts as well as contacts in the phone memory. There are plenty of third party apps out there that will stop this, or you can find the registry edit in the site somewhere.
Easiest way is to use something like Schaps 3, or that battery soft that you mention.
Can't understand why som many people insist on using SIM memory nowdays, when people hae multiple numbers, you end up with multiple contacts for the same people....
Well, each to their own i suppose.
My contacts were on SIM because I'vw switched from.....Nokia 6310i
Now I've fixed the problem manually (regedit) because AdvancedConfig tool doesn't help. Just funny thing that to save registry settings SHUT DOWN of device is required not soft reset.

Ah! One of the best handsets Nokia ever made. My Landlord has three, just in case one of them dies!
Great phones!
Although again, it came with Nokia PC Suite to sync to outlook, but it was a real PITA as it always puts the mobile numbers in the 'other' field in outlook so they don't get touched by activesync!
as for the soft reset thing, seems to work ok on mine. Change something in schaps 3, and soft reset when it tells me to and all seems to be well.
lol, well i guess that's why windows mobile is such fun huh??
whats registry setting did u change? AdvancedConfig isnt working for me either. I cant delete the sim contacts, cos its a temporary SIM. Ill have a blank SIM soon, but for now, I'd like to stop SIM contacts showing up.
Thanks
I just got it to work using AdvancedConfig. I said 'No' when it asked to soft reset. Then checked contacts and the SIM contacts are gone. No restart, no shut down, nothing. When i did this and said 'yes' to the soft reset, it didnt work. Odd
If you go into settings, Phone, Call options is there no longer a check box to not show SIM contacts as in WM6.0 phones?
You must change value
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSim from 1 to 0
and then (very important) do not soft reset because value will be restored to 1
you must shut down TP - this information was provided by someone here and it works
BTW
Even if you switch off ShowSim option, for the first 10-30sek after booting TP you will find doubled contacts but then the sim contacts are dissapearing

Some how I must have clicked on the "Don Not Ask Me Again" box on the USB connection screen. Now I have to manually go to the "settings" - "connections"- "USB to PC" in order to change from active sync to disk drive. I have the Ask me first box checked but no luck.
Any ideas?
BTW, I did try the search function and I am running the new HTC Fuze stock Rom.
Many thanks to all!
reset the phone , if that doesn't work hard reset the phone . with something like this unless you know the registry (which would take quite awhile to find) you can't fix it unless you reset the phone.
Yeah, usually all you have to do is check mark that in the settings. It happened to me once too, and I couldn't change it. So I had to hard reset.
I have the same problem. Someone must have figured it out already!
I would try changing it in the registry:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\USBtoPC]
"DisablePopUpUI"=dword:00000000
You want it to be 0.
resetting activesync default start up choice
Thank you Farmer Ted! Been struggling years with this type of problem, including doing hard resets... Your simple registry solution does the trick.
Today I was messing with Advanced Config 3.3 and when messing with the pressure threshold I saw that there was a choice for default. Wrongly thinking I had messed with it as it was on custom I just soft reset without thinking. I know what I did was dumb but is there any way to edit my registry or do something without hard reseting my phone? I have tried installing mymobler and working with reg editers but I keep getting either a yes or no prompt (which I can not tap because the pressure thresshold is too low) or access denied when using Cereg Editor... anybody have a signed remote.exe from mymobler that would work?
Your best bet is to do a hard reset honestly. When I was using Windows Mobile, I would do at most 3-5 hard resets a day. It's usually the fix all problem.
