I have SE Xperia X2 with the latest MR2 upgrade.
My company enforces the phone lock every time I sync my emails with the Exchange server. The problem is that I'm not able to turn this off again from the menus.
This is a bit irritating especially when I use the phone in the car for navigation purposes, GPS tracking or GeoCashing as the screen turns off every 5 minutes and the phone lock turns on. Typing the pin code while driving is not very safe
I wonder if someone can make a .cab file that can deactivate the phone lock?
Yes, I know it will be turned on again next time I sync but that is okay.
From somewhere I downloaded a file ExchangePolicyPatch which removes this lock.

Typign the words "Search for it" and doing THIS: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=ExchangePolicyPatch took the same amount of time.
Good tip, but why don't people go the one extra step?
Nu
Well one reason is that noobs like me had no clue that it was called ExchangePolicyPatch . That's one reason why we ask all this stupid questions
When that is said, thank you very much for your help. After ajhvdb pointet out what the correct phrase was, it took me less than 2 minutes to find the file plus a couple more that does the same thing plus a description of which reg key to change.
Since I prefer learning things I ended up downloading a register editor for WinMo and editing the correct reg key myself.
For the moment I'm trying to generate my own cab-file (more new stuff to learn) that only changes this key so that I can easily do this again if it should change back again.
Glad you found it

Hi, I've posted this in lowyat.net forum, but I wish to post this here as well, because I think this is a very significant tweak. Anyways, this method was originally found in this forum, just that I think no one suggested this method to speed up the Touch Pro.
Here comes the tweak:
I've been facing this issue where the SIP menu (aka input menu), takes like 2 seconds to popup when you want to switch the input method, making me wonder if I didn't manage to press the little triangle... My old PDA didn't have such an issue.
So after some searching, I found this:
give it a shoot , Get a registry editor ,
1. Export HKCR\CLSID (will save to a *.reg file)
2. Del or Rename HKCR\CLSID
3. Import the backup of HKCR\CLSID
Turn off your device about 15 sec and reset
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread...t=301433&page=1
And yup, it works!! The SIP menu is now very responsive, and the system is now faster, and more responsive. Games do not lag anymore, especially the old ones.
Anyway, I didn't have to reset to see the effect.
In that thread, someone suggested the renaming method. Actually I used that method, but found that I can't rename the CLSID back because the system created another one. Luckily my Resco Registry Explorer allows me to copy and paste the keys from the old folder into the new folder. If not, it'll mean another hard reset. And one more thing, DO NOT SOFT RESET BEFORE YOU GET THE CLSID BACK!! "Turn off" in the thread means sleep, cuz unlike our TP, old PDAs cannot really be "turned off". It's best to backup your PDA before performing this procedure.
Anyone tried this fix?
SIP changing is really quick now. The device seems to be faster,but maybe it's a "placebo effect". Thanks for the tip,something helps this.
Some magic. It really works.
Thank you.
Thats Awesome
Wow! This tweak works perfect! BIG THANK for posting this here!
Btw,I know about this already few years,from that time I have tested HTC Himalaya,but I never tried it till now.
well, i think it works.
but i am not sure.
like mentioned in this thread, it could be a placebo effect.
cause i have not reset my TP for a while.
and after this tweak you have to reset, and after a reset the TP is always a little bit faster.
but if you aplly this tweak as instructed, nothing can go wrong so......
if you don`t try you`ll never know

As I said,SIP changing is really fast now,so at least one benefit you get. Before was 3-5 seconds,now <1s.
sorry to be a bother. but with PHM regedit i held my cursor over the CLSID key in the registry rather than making a backup. I did an export. stupidly I deleted the key instead of renaming it. now when i try to import the key back in, first off the import choice in tools is greyed out and when i try restore and selecting the file I get "error". I'm hoping if all CLSID's are the same someone would be kind enough to bail me out by uploading their CLSID backup.
thanks in advance

update: false alarm, solved it.
I too did this tweak, and did notice that in my threaded SMS, opening the QWERTY had an immediate response. I'm about 2 hours since I've done it, so I will see how this is going this time tomorrow. I hope this is perminant, and I see this response delay with the input method gone forever.
THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Awesome post for someone new to this forum!! Thanks a lot! System does seem faster. I have an old game, Warfare Inc, that I still like to play once in awhile. Hasn't run smoothly on my TP until now.
I tried this but all hell broke loose! now my tp wont even start.. so im guessing something went terribly wrong.. now i have to hard reset the thing. and loos all my stuff in there.
at first everything was ok! but later I spoted that GPS reception was totally lost - no fix enymore! Reinstaling NETCF3.5 seems to fix it.

Here you go
does it work on htc diamond? was wondering if anyone experiences the lag when typing with phone keypad.. the words 'take their time' to appear.
I tried and my TP wouldn't boot. Had to hard-reset. I made sure the CLSID key was re-created before I did a soft-reset.
Hmm, what does this tweak actually do? export and import your registry settings?
I'm unclear as to how that's making anything better?
this also hosed up my TP. Wont boot. Have to restore it now errrr
Those with "hosed" TP's make sure you really export the reg file, and not copy/paste. I could not find the option in the reg part of Total Commander so I used TRE, another free reg edit tool found on this forum many years ago Please search for it as it is so simple to use. Would have uploaded for you, but am not using my regular pc
I think that we don't even need to export and import the reg key. It seems to me like only rename the key (ex CLSIDold) and renaming it back (CLSID) then shut down for some seconds, works too.
It looks like working to me that way. Now SIP change takes one sec.
WOW !!!
In my house I have really bad reception. Some apps sometimes try to use my data connection to download updates. The problem is, if I don't have any reception at that time, a window pops up telling me it cannot connect.
How can I turn that off? I went through settings and notifications and couldn't find anything. I went through Schapp's Advanced Config and couldn't find it either. There must be a way to disable notification that the phone couldn't connect for data... so how do I do it?
deactivate data connection in comm manager. I use phonealarm which does it every night and have no more "cannot connect"-messages anymore.
Thanks for the reply... but that's not exactly what I'm looking to do.
I work from home so I'm home most of the day. I use my phone quite a bit to for certain tasks. I need the phone to be able to try and connect whenever it wants... I just don't want to be notified if it can not connect.

I haven't found a way to do this. However, I've written a program to handle those popups while using TomTom (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458342), but there's no reason why you couldn't have something like that running all the time. It wouldn't stop the popups, but it would auto-close them for you within a short period of time.
Do you want me to write that for you?
Cheers,
Steve.
Thanks for the reply Steve and for offering to create an app for me.
But I don't think it would really solve my biggest issue... which is having the popup show every few minutes while I'm actually using the phone. It's faster for me to just click on the dismiss button.
So it doesn't look like there's a way to disable this "feature." You'd think there'd be a registry value to edit or something.
But thank you again for offering to help.

Yes, you would have thought there would be an option for this. A program to auto close the dialog could make it so that it literally just flicks up, and then disappears, but I agree it's not terribly satisfactory.

What you need is to turn off Auto Connecting, but you have to do manual using some registry edit software:
Change DWORD Value from "1" to "0" in:
HKCU\Software\HTC\ConnectionSetup\EnableAUTODetect

There's no ConnectionSetup under the HTC folder.
My screen goes crazy. During a call up to my ear it flips to horizontal, changes out of key pad view and not always to mute/speakerphone... keys view, sometimes to contact info, and can be a nightmare to get back to "end call." I've found times when the caller hung up but the TP2 put them on hold and kept my time going.
Any programs and or reg hacks to:
1) stop the horizontal flip when placed to an ear, and
2) keep it in keypad mode or general call mode?
Real pain when dialing into a system that requires keypad responses. Everytime I put it back to my ear I have to go through a crazy sequence to get back to the key pad.
This is my only complaint wth this phone, it's not easy to use as a phone!
Thanks.
I have the same problem when dialing into VM, or into any call queue. I looked through the registry a bit. Didn't see anything obviously labeled.
yeah me too. Only thing I could find was using Gyrators' exception list to not rotate the phone, but it wasnt 100% reliable. I would *LOVE* to find a way to stay in keypad mode too.
Hi All - I guess I'm just jumping on the bandwagon but I have the same issue and find it annoying. I loaded the 'incall screen tweak' but that didn't work. Any help more seasoned members than I could offer would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!!!
I had the same issue too, whenever I put my phone up to my ear (left handed) it would go into landscape. The fix is simple but you have to edit a registry setting. I'm going by memory here, so please forgive the vague info
1) make sure to backup your reg info
2) using your favorite reg edit program, goto
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\Whitelist
3) now this is the part I kind of forgot, you need to find a string with the DATA value that includes "phone" or "dailer"
4) delete that string
5)soft reset and give it a try, the phone shouldn't go into landscape whenever you turn it during a call.

OK, I went where you said, but no dialer, and only phone entry is:
Phone/Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
And deleting this stopped "lefty" in call flipping? Doesn't make sense to me. Doesn't seem to only control dialer or phone.
Please confirm or anyone out there please help. I don't want to delete something don't understand.
Can I simple change Dialog to something like "Zero" or "0"?

That's it! forgot what the process name was, but yeah, deleting that stopped the phone from trying to change to landscape during a phone call. Deleting that will tell the G-Sensor not to change the orientation of the phone's screen during a phone call, however it also tells it not to change the orientation during a picture (which wasn't a big deal for me cuz I can change it when I view them in windows). You can always look up the process in google or even the forum search tool if you're still scared.
If anyone else is interested I tried a "partial" delete of the suggestion above. I created a new string leaving out the Phone.
Lock/Compose/Picture
String= Dialog
deleted old string with phone/....
So far no more "lefty" crazy problems, and pictures seem to appear in landscape.
Here's hoping all is OK!

Awesome, good job!
I installed Gyrator 2. Just create a new event with the phone as the application. Nothing for orientation, nothing on stylus, and rotate screen for actions. Then promote the event to the top. Highlight your new phone event and select orientation, it will have a check mark and a number one next to the event. It hasn't failed on me yet and I use the key pad all day long with my job!
I just upgraded to the Verizon official WinMo 6.5 and the registry hack doesn't seem to work anymore, and I'm having issues getting Gyrator to work, has anyone resolved this issue for WinMo 6.5?

I haven't had any of the issues with the 6.5 upgrade that were mentioned with 6.1. Haven't needed to add S2U2 since the screen lock is built in and the phone is much more responsive when placed to the ear and then moved away to access the keypad. It's not perfect but vastly improved over 6.1...
I guess my point is try it the way it is with 6.5 and see if you thinks its better. leave gyrator and reg hacks aside for a few.
Just to refresh some memories. Do you remember the original RAZR. It had the ability to lock just certain programs on the phone instead of the whole fun. I like to lock my SMS. I was wondering if there was a cab out there that would help me out. Don't feel like unlocking my phone every time just to make a call.

This is the only one I ever came across... If you notice the "last update" date, you'll see that it's been a while since it's been updated. I've never tried this software but maybe this is what you are looking for. There's probably some issues with it and even more so...who knows how well it will work with a newer devices (HD2).
As yes I do remember that feature of the RAZR....that's what originally got me looking for a similar program some years ago....
My wife and I are looking for an app, setting, something, that will notify each of us when the other arrives at work. Once she's arrived at work, she doesn't have the time to whip out her phone and create and send a text to let me know she got there safely.
I'm looking for the something that, perhaps, notifies me, in some way, when her wifi or GPS recognizes when she's arrived in a specific location. Or, maybe even better, a gesture app/setting that allows her to swipe her finger in a specific pattern on the homescreen which triggers the phone to send me a preconfigured text message.
I doubt this is an option, but maybe best of all would be something similar, where she can send that preconfigured text, but from a widget on the lock screen or through a lock pattern that differs from the actual pattern you use to unlock your phone.
I also would prefer something that doesn't take up much in the way of system resources/battery. Thanks!
You can do it easily with Tasker. But it's a little bit hard to learn using it.

Automate It is easier than Tasker, but not nearly as powerful. Should be enough for your needs though.
