Qtek 9100 USB behaviour

Hello all,
I've just faced a strange problem.
The USB sync had always worked well, but once I applyed a few reg tweaks (shown on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other) for WM5 and then ...
No more USB at all...No recognition, nothing
The only time the pc detected the phone was during a reset (a few seconds only)
I had even done a few shutdown/restart cycles still the same thing ... no USB at all.
So I did a rollback of the registry settings and ... my USB is back and working after a reset ...
Here are the settings I applied to the phone :
Disable 3gp (video) size limit
Add GPS settings icon
Add Lunar Calendar mode to Calendar
Disable charging over USB
Make WM5 ask where to install a program (1)
Make WM5 keep CAB files around after installing (1)
Show Wireless Today item
I'll try to sort out witch of them produced this problem and keep you posted.
Did anyone already met such a behaviour ?
Regards,

And the winner is ...
I sorted out the registry setting that locked out the USB
Add GPS settings icon
If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value
Note that '2' stands for the Connections tab, '1' is System and '0' would be Personal
But it will become "active" after doing the following things :
set the GPS program port to COM8
set the GPS connection port to COM7
and tick the automatic GPS management (recommended)
and then do a full reboot ...
then
No more USB,
UPDATE
To solve it, you'll have to rollback the settings
set the GPS program port to None
set the GPS connection port to None
and tick the automatic GPS management (recommended)
, remove the registry (to avoid another time the problem)
and reboot
Regards,
Fx.

added a note to the wiki - weird, no idea why that would affect USB.. haven't read any other reports from people who have enabled that GPS icon either.
That said - I don't see what the point of the GPS applet is, especially for those who don't -have- a GPS device to be used with their Wizard %)

Launch 'Connecttion Manager' from Wireless Today Plug-in

Hi all,
Hopefully somone is able to help me with this.
Before i flashed my ROM last night, i had the 'Wireless' today plug-in (the one showing your provider, BT status and WiFi Status) set up to launch the connection manager when it was tapped.
I am sure that i set this up by adding a DWORD titled 'Selectability' with a vlaue of '1' to the Wireless section in the registry.
However, i have tried putting this entry back in with a new rom, and it dosent launch the connection manager anymore
Any ideas???

Found this in another thread!

It's easy. just need modify registry
HKLM/CONTROLPANEL/wrlsmgr
New string "Redirect", make the value any program you like, such as
Redirect = "\windows\commmanager.exe" will open the commmanager.exe when you tap it.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
also the selectability makes it selectable in the front screen by touch and d-pad (set it to 2)

GPS settings?

I'm not sure if it's just me but I don't have a GPS settings icon inside the settings folder. My other PDA which has WM5 and GPS has the GPS settings so you can change the com software port, hardware port, etc. So does the P3600 just not have it or am I missing it? Oh and I'm also updated to the latest ROM from HTC's website.

search this forum. there is a reg key for it

Most apps don't need it, especially with the newer ROMs (Radio 1.38 onwards)
Just point your GPS apps at COM9 (the GPS Hardware port) at 57600 baud, and the software driver will intercept the call and provide the signal.
Older ROM's still need the GPS registry fix to show the CP

Note also that this has reportedly disabled one person's USB connectivity. To restore, set "GPS Program Port = None", "GPS Connection Port = None", "Automatic GPS Management = on"

Be more patient.... and make sure you're in an open space... (that means uninterupted view at the sky from y'r device).
The very first fix ever can take up to 10 minutes or more sometimes (that's a 'cold' start).

Yeah it actually does take a while to get a fix the first time.. It took me about 5 mins to get a fix, but after about 5 more mins after getting a fix I was getting full bars on tomtom.

The quoted registry fix is incorrect/incomplete for the P3600
Go to HKLM/ControlPanel/GPS Settings which has 2 keys; Default and Hide.
Open the Hide key and change the Dword to 0 then Save.
This will place a GPS Setting Icon in the 2nd tab of Settings.
In Settings, changing both ports to 'none' will disable GPS. The hardware port must be set to COM9 and the baud can be 57600 or 115200.
Once those are set, any GPS program can be pointed to COM9 and they should get a fix within about 5 minutes with a clear sky view.
If you want to share the signal between more than one app, you need to point the app at the software port; most apps don't list GPD1 (the default) as a valid soft port, so you need to change the software port to COM8 and set the GPS apps to seek a signal there. TomTom and Co-pilot however, can't open the software port by themselves, so it's safer to leave them with exclusive access on the COM9 hardware port.
On the P3600 Radio ROM 1.38 onwards, life is a lot easier, as everything can be pointed at COM9, and the software correctly distributes the signal as needed, which it should have done from the start.

if you just don't wanna be messed up digging in the registry, download trinityhacks 0.3 and you can activate the gps icon, which is not needed, because the settings of the gps are preset. downtown of Budapest it takes more than 10 mins to get a fix, but after that it just works fine.

External GPS application not saving the setting

I just figured out that my External gps application doesn't save the settings i give it.
The best settings for the X1 are as i found here:
Programs tab:
GPS-hardwareport com4
Baudrate 115200
Is this right?
Only when i enter these and press ok, and return to check this, they are on the default settings
It worked perfectly until my last hard reset
anyone had the same problem?

How to see it as a USB drive.

Hi, i was looking some information about how to access the Surround via MyPC window, apparently it comes hidden by Zune.
I found a few steps on how to enable it.
1. Open Windows Registry Editor by typing regedit in your start menu
2. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB
3. Perform a search for ZuneDriver
1. The search should yield a result similar to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\VID_045E&PID_04EC&MI_00\6&27ffd631&0&0000\Device Parameters\WUDF
4. Click up one level to the Device Parameters key
5. Change ShowInShell from 0 to 1
6. Change PortableDeviceNameSpaceExcludeFromShell from 1 to 0
7. Change EnableLegacySupport from 0 to 1
8. Change EnableDefaultAutoPlaySupport
That's it! You can now plug your HTC Surround into your Windows PC using the supplied USB cable and it will be recognized as a USB drive.

Hope this help!

If you make those changes only, your Windows Phone will appear twice under portable devices. There are a couple more changes you should make to the registry - one of them is to fix this (don't remember which one):
Under Device Parameters, you should see two sub-folders: one is called WUDF and the other is ZuneDriver.
1) Under WUDF, you will find a key called Exclusive - change the value of this key from 1 to 0.
2) Under ZuneDriver, you will find a key called UseWpdPrivateInterface - change the value of this key from 1 to 0, as well.
Now you should see only one occurrence of your Windows Phone in the Portable Devices section.
Don't forget to close the Zune software if it opens when you connect your phone.

thanks that worked but no internal folders are shown under storage. can i transfer custom ringtones to the phone with this change?

HTC As A USB REG EDIT Question
The last line of the instructions say to change the EnableDefaultAutoplaySupport
but doesn't indicate what the change should be. I would assume if it is '0' then the change should be to '1' ? Just checking. Thanks.

One other quick question on this - if these changes are made, then can ZUNE still interact with the phone, or do you have to change these back?
