[Q] Increased Ring Time Limited? - Touch Pro2 CDMA

I just upgraded from a Samsung i760 to a HTC Touch Pro2 (T7380) Sprint and I was wondering if there was a way to do this?
I know with my Samsung I could just do this:
**772
six zeros for the code (000000)
Scroll down with the d-pad till you see end of basic nam
hit right d-pad to change "exit" to "more"
hit middle d-pad to select
hit the down d-pad 76 times till it says slot cycle index
Change this to 1 or lower EDIT: By entering the value with the number pad and then you hit the middle d-pad to exit.
This changes the frequency at which the phone talks to the tower and will
start the unit ringing MUCH faster. the lower you go the faster but the more battery it uses. I find 1 gets the phone ringing within 3 seconds but doesn't hinder battery life.

Shortcut from scrollwheel to last called numbers?

Is there a way to make a shortcut from the scrollwheel,so you just have to press the wheel to get in to the last called numbers list?
Would be much more easy to make call with one hand..
Sorry for my bad english
If you press the green phone button, you will pull up and be able to redial the last number you called.
OMG are you kidding me push the GREEN TALK BUTTON and the last call is right there then push the GREEN TALK BUTTON AGAIN and thats it.. So a total of 2 yes a whole 2 button pushes.....
Is it just the last number or do you get a list with numbers ?
Sorry...I dont have a TyTn II myself..Just tested a friends.
Edit
I want to go direct to the list with all my last called numbers,not just the last.
You now what i mean ?
Im not so good at english :-/
on my 8525 there was a box on my dialpad that listed all recent calls, right from the dialer you could scrool down to select any previous number in the order they were called. i believe this is what the poster is talking about. i can not remember what it was called but i would like it on the tilt as well, it basically replaced the standard smart dialer with one that listed call history. anyone have this?
Green Phone button - Up on the 4 way pad
That will get you to the recent call list - 2 buttons pressed
Ok..Thanks
nice tip, thanks!
(And by the way, it's the left or down key to get to Speed Dial.) However, one problem is neither of those works if the keypad isn't showing and you just have the Call History and other buttons up there (with Keypad being the left soft key option). Anyone know if there's a reg hack to make the keyboard stay up there permanently? Thanks.
Also, with the keyboard displayed, you can use the scroll wheel up to get last called, or scroll wheel down to get speed dial numbers.

Service Mode, Slot Cycle Index, 13K Vocoder

I was trying to fix my 3-4 Ring delay, and tried the Slot Cycle Index change, but no luck.
Anyway, not sure if there is anything in the Service Mode that may help us arrive at a better phone, but there are some challenges using it with the Omnia 2. It doesn't have a D pad or enter button.
Maybe somebody else has a better idea, but I used AEButton + to create (from button 1) a "Down arrow", a "Right arrow", and an Enter button. Since you need to hit down about 65 to 70 times before arriving at Slot Cycle index, I used 1 single press for Down, 2 presses for Right, and 3 for Enter.
Then you can modify settings in the Service Menu, including the following:
1. Dial **772
2. Enter the Service Code 000000 (six 0's) and tap OK
3. Push the directional pad down until you see a screen that says:
SVC Mode NAM1
End of BASIC NAM
EXIT
4. Push the directional pad right so that "Exit" becomes "More"
5. Press the action (Enter) button to enter the additional settings menu.
6. scroll down about 70 times. You will get the the "Slot cycle" screen and the default value will be "2".
1 or 0 should be better.
In case you want to change to 13k Vocoder:
1. Dial **772
2. Enter the Service Code 000000 (six 0's) and tap OK
3. Push the directional pad down until you see a screen that says:
SVC Mode NAM1
End of BASIC NAM
EXIT
4. Push the directional pad right so that "Exit" becomes "More"
5. Press the Enter button to enter the additional settings menu.
6. Press down 1 time to get to the screen that says:
SVC Mode NAM1
Orig. SVC OPT
EVRC
7. The default is set to EVRC. To change to 13k Vocoder press right on the d-pad once.
8. Then press the action button once to save the change.
9. Finally, press the left soft key "Exit" to exit the service menu.
I haven't found much that has helped me so far, but maybe someone smarter and braver than me can find some better settings in there.
For d pad on the I920, use the swype d pad. Its already in the phone.
I knew I would hear from somebody with a better idea eventually. Thank you very much. Very cool.
On my stock Verizon i920, the Vocoder is set to EVRC-B and the only other choice listed is EVRC.
On the last screen for slot cycle, I can't figure out how to change it from "2". Center D-pad (Swype) doesn't select, Enter exits the program, as does "Right arrow".
Anyone have success with this?

android codes

FYI These codes have been obtained by decoding various .apk files present in the phone firmware.
*#*#4636#*#*
This code can be used to get some interesting information about your phone and battery. It shows following 4 menus on screen:
Phone information
Battery information
Battery history
Usage statistics
*#*#7780#*#*
This code can be used for a factory data reset. It'll remove following things:
Google account settings stored in your phone
System and application data and settings
Downloaded applications
It'll NOT remove:
Current system software and bundled applications
SD card files e.g. photos, music files, etc.
PS: Once you give this code, you get a prompt screen asking you to click on "Reset phone" button. So you get a chance to cancel your operation.
*2767*3855#
Think before you give this code. This code is used for factory format. It'll remove all files and settings including the internal memory storage. It'll also reinstall the phone firmware.
PS: Once you give this code, there is no way to cancel the operation unless you remove the battery from the phone. So think twice before giving this code.

Atleast say thanks
Great list of codes thanks for sharing it.
thank you
but some codes not working!
You can also enter the following code while in the lockscreen to get to most of the above mentioned service pages:

Good set of information, thanks for the post. gonna try some now.
Thank you..
Thank you for the codes...
Thanks for the codes, I'm going to add them to my wiki.
thanks for sharing
Just tried these out, and it turns out that the earpiece can actually get pretty damn loud... so it is a software problem after all (in-call volume).

...that's what I just said. All it does is test the speaker, it doesn't change any settings in the phone. All I said was that the speaker has the potential to have louder call volume.
About earpiece volume. This didn't work for me, but so far none of the codes are. Give it a try and let us know if it works for you.
Taken from the following website...
http://androidforums.com/1263586-post1.html
Earpiece volume to low? I'm talking about the earpiece speaker built into the phone, the part you hold to your ear. You can increase this volume beyond maximum factory setting. When you change this, please change it slowly, meaning 1 increment at a time, you don't want to blow your speakers out. Thank you to the user over at xda-developer forums who showed me how to do this. update: it seems if you do a reboot of your phone, the settings revert back to factory for this volume fix...working to try to figure out a way to lock in the new volume settings.
Okay, lets begin. Go to your dial pad. Dial in *#*#197328640#*#*
Next, tap your finger onto the following, in the following order:
[5] Audio
[1] Handset
[1] Volume
[1] SRS Speech RX Volume
next notice the following defaults that pop up.
[0]0_lvl:63
[1]1_lvl:68
[2]2_lvl:73
[3]3_lvl:78
[4]4_lvl:83
[5]5_lvl:88
This basically means, that your volume up and down keys have 5 clicks, starting from the lowest setting, and click your volume up 5 times, takes you through the sequence of volumes listed above. You can change each click to be a new volume setting. For me 1-4 are fine, I just wanted max volume, which is click number 5, to be something higher. The phone does not let you to put in half increments, meaning 88.5 is not possible. So you have to use 1 increments. Please please do this carefully, dont suddenly jump to 95, you could blow out your speaker possibly. So I tried just 1 increment above 88, went to 89, and perfect, much louder now! okay so this is how you do it:
Once you get the list above, do the following:
Click your finger on [5]5_lvl:88
Next, a screen pops up asking for input. On the bottom of your phone, tap the menu button, this is the button next to the little home button.
Next tap "key input"
Next tap 1 increment at a time, lets start off with 89 so where it says enter value, tap this, your keyboard pops up, type in 89
Next Tap your menu button again
Next Tap "end"
you are now finished, make a phone call and see how 89 works for you, when your volume is set to max

I tried this and the volume was much louder! the issue was it really stared to disort and sound sh#t on the piano spot. So the reason why the volume is so low is the dam speaker is ****! Increasing the volume will cause more distortion and make things worse. I be happy to live with this for the next few years till my contract is over...
let me see this...

Hi,
also these codes are not working for me, except the *#*#4636#*#*.
The quoted post is related to Samsung Phones (Vibrant) and this is most probably the reson why it doesn't work on SE X10.
However, does someone know another set of codes for X10? The Service Menu, entered by the Menu/Back combination, shows a list item "Service settings" but with "No Item" in the next menu level. Is there any known trick to unlock this settings? Maybe there could be a option to adjust in-call volume...
All the Best
Peter
EDIT: X10i, R2BA026 rooted
no not yet solution for speaker volume increase
no solution yet..
let me try to replace speaker on my x10i
i will try to put any other speaker from other sony to my x10i..
same for loudspeaker also..

[Q] got any pro tips for selecting text?

I find selecting and copying text very difficult.
For example, from calendar. Which by the way I have to "edit" because you can't dial a phone number from a calendar. ( Seriously google are you just kidding around with that by the way? )
Mainly the selecting part.
I find this impossible to do easily, takes multiple tries because of not getting the cursor positions right, and I don't think it's just me.
Here is my workflow. Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
1. First, the keyboard takes up half the screen so now I'm left with only about 5 lines of text so I have to scroll around the meeting text entry to field to find the text I want to select. ( If I hide the keyboard with downswipe or other method it does not come back! )
2. When you find the text you want say a phone number 1-752-555-5234 I try to touch immediately before the 1, but as soon as I touch the screen, the entire field scrolls to the bottom.
3. Now I have to repeat step 1
4. I seem to have to do steps 1 to 3 twice for some reason (not kidding) it does not seem to give me the vertical cursor hairline (calling it a hairs width thickness is being generous ) the first time.
5. Now, I will have the cursor correctly at 1. Because if I am one digit off, I have to repeat steps 1 through 4 until I get it correctly positioned.
6. Now, long press on screen, choose select text.
7. Now repeat steps 1, 3 and 4 (skipping 2) until get the cursor at the correct ending position.
8. Once this is done, which for me can take up to several minutes to do, I can easily copy and paste the text.
If you've used an iPhone or even Windows Mobile 6.x you know how hard it is to understand that google failed so miserably at this.

While I admit copying/pasting does not seem particularly easy on our phones, the Calendar app we have is NOT the stock Android one so you should actually aim your criticism at Samsung. Same with the Messaging app (Samsung's work, not Google's). I'm slightly more used to the iPhone long press technique and it's magnifying glass technique, but I'm sure it's something they'll (they being Samsung) will attempt to improve
if you are using the Samsung keboard. Long press the 123? key, that will take you to an editing menu.

This works on the swype keyboard as well; swipe your finger to the right from the info button to the SYM button and it brings up a selection keyboard. Very useful

And your point is? Have you ever tried selecting test with that? Clearly not.
EDIT: My Bad. THANK YOU, Cesierra.
With a little practice that works great. For those who are curious, it works. It positions the cursor start position at the bottom of the calendar entry. From there you can up-arrow to position the cursor exactly where you want, then selection is easy. A very good kludge as kludges go, I am impressed.
you are welcome
Thank you cesierra/deuX!
I learned something new here.
I really like it when someones first post is a helpful one

Turn on phone by pressing the Windows button?

Hi there,
is there a way to turn my display on by pressing the windows button and not the power button?
I think unless you have a physical button (I don't, Samsung focus user here) it would be pressed over and over and over in your pocket. Doesn't sound good to me lol.

I was wondering that, too :/
I suppose it's determined by a registry key, btw.
My Omnia 7 does that by default, but it probably wouldn't work with a capative button.
only registerykey which makes any sense is
[HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\KBD\WakeUpSources] = 23.
I think KBD means something like keyboard but i have no glue. Can someone who knows a bit more of the WP7 registry check if this entry has anything to do with wake up?
(I'm not even able to change the value of this regkey, it switches back to 23 every time I close regedit)

Yes, KBD means Keyboard for sure...
Needs testing and (maybe, I'm not sure this helps) some HTC or Samsung user posting their key value :/
My Value of this key is 23 (0x17). My phone is a HTC Mozart 7.
I thought about messing with this value for testing. I should get the device out of standby by connecting power. Anyway, feels not quite right do change this
I have HTC HD7 and even in my phone the Value of this key is 23 (0x17).

I'd assume this is either the keycode for the power-key or some kind of route to a eventlistener or smth? The naming WakeUpSources seems to indicate this is not a reference to a single button, or am I wrong?

are you able to change the regvalue? I'm not. It seems to be some kind of write-protected on my LG.
If it's Julien's registry editor and unless it's been changed recently you'll find that the method he's using for LGs only persist writes in certain areas of the registry. If you're using the MFG app, those keys might be further locked down.
Regarding multiple values, they'd have to be coded as an integer since it's a dword value. Seems unnecessarily tricky for key codes.
Oh, and the value on my Optimus 7 is 7.
Values of 7 and 23 can be flag - multiple values coded in one.
If it's really a flag then messing with it may lead to funny results.
The more I think about this the more I think this value could be a BusIO port number where any given sensor (like a button) may fire a signal.
To sum up, I don't think you'd be able to change the key for waking the phone up with a decent amount of effort.
first test would be to set this to some other value and check if it's really the wakeup key.
I tried to do it with MFG but there I get a Value of 1928312392 or something and not 23.

72EFB648 as a hex value doesn't look very prommising in understanding what this might be (at least for me)
I'll play around with my value if I got a spare minute.

I were in the wrong Rootpath.
I changed 23 to 10. Rebooted. And checked if the Value is still 10 in the reg and then tried if it makes any difference.
No it doesn't. I can still unlock with the power button
This seems to be not the value we are looking for.
Camera Button
I completely agree with trying to find another button for power. I personally hate the power button on my HD7, but it also has sensor buttons not actual buttons. What would be better for everyone, because it is the same for every device would be waking up with the Camera Button. This button already is able to automatically wake the device directly to the camera app. You need to press and hold he camera button for this. What would be great is if you just press the button and release and it would just wake to the lock screen. I hope somebody would like to work further on this and make it a reality.

Hi all
This looks like a registry key that has been included for devices with a hardware keyboard, such as the HTC 7 Pro. Perhaps somebody with such a device could test for us.
I remember in WM6.5 there was a registry key that enabled/disabled wake up on hardware keyboard extension.

Are there any Omnia 7 users reading this? Omnia 7 has this working so that if you have either the proximity or the light sensor blocked (or both of course, you can try it with your finger, all this was pointed out in some other topic I can't find at this very second), the Start button won't act as lock key, but if the both sensors are "free", then the Start button will unlock the phone (lit the screen, you still have to swipe it).
Well invented by Samsung, as this prevents the screen turning on all the time in your pocket and eating the battery - unnoticeably to the user - that way. This would also explain the connection to sensors the_Crispy mentioned.
Its been a while now. Did anyone made any progress?
