Yes, I have tried the same thing. Can not see an Update Icon in Device Properties. But why is there a Update control entry in the Registry?

Adjust backlight when device is locked

Hi all, do we have any trick to change the default backlight level when the device is in locked?
I'm asking this because if we need try to unlock the device under daylight, the device backlight is too dim to be seen. Of course you still can unlock your device by remember the location of the unlock button.

A more or less satisfying solution to this is to use third party software. I am thinking of S2U2 which mimics the iPhone unlock mechanism.
Its actually easier to operate the slider without seeing what you are doing than trying to hit the "Unlock" button.
I'd give it a shot if I were you. It's not that heavy on the system, good looking and customizable.

my first try to answer in this forum ...
I had the same problem (especially when it's sunny it is impossible to see where to touch for unlock) and I found the solution to create a new folder "LockLevel" in registry:
\HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel
within this folder I created a
DWORD Value "LockLevel" with the decimal value of e. g. 8
You can do this with e. g. Resco Explorer or any registry tool.
Sometimes I've to re-set this regkey - it seems another app changes this regkey ...

Rename folder HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX

Hmm... None of the trick solve my problem. But really thanks for the help & reply.
Think I got to use a 3rd party software for this..

yar same problem.
s2u2 sucks out to much power though unfortunately.

This DOES work:
Rename folder HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel to:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\
with my registry editor I had to create this new LockLevelX folder and the entry within... then delete the LockLevel folder, then reset device. Good luck

Underzone can you post a screenshot of the whole thing or the registry tree in question? I'm not quite sure if I got you right, because it still doesnt work on my device...

You mean delete "LockLevel" ??
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel ->
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\
It is the only difference in your example... ??

rename LockLevel to LockLevelX
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevel =>
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\LockLevelX

This is working not long after reset and after first lock, Locklevel is back.
(Also LockLevel is existing to)

you don't need to create it - its already there. The locklevel is set to 0 i've upped mine to 6.. it works a treat! well done all

after changing that reg key, and then resetting, it changed back right away already....

noob help with Titanium Panel

I'm new to Titanium Panels and can't seem to find the "10,000 foot view" of how these work. I hope to do that here...
I'm now in "build the tutorial mode" so this post will change as I have time to fill it in.
As I see it, Titanium Panels fall into three categories:
Completely Static - A fancy button to launch an application.
Update on Demand - Static until you tap it and then it updates.
Automatically Updated - This model has a "free-running" background process that updates the panel contents on a regular basis.
The general model is something like this...
Create an app/script/etc. that puts data into the registry (when/if necessary.)
These values should be listed in subkeys in the registry under:
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\CondensedPage
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\Page1
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\Page2
etc.
to form what data will actually appear on each page.
There are special values in the registry that specify the Datasource, Tap actions, etc.
Create a resolution specific layout in the Titanium.cpr file.
When necessary, update the registry values and toggle a special registry entry:
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\Updated
to 0 and then back to 1. (Some languages (like c#) require that you flush() your changes in order for this to work.)
Also see the post later in this thread "Updating Panel".
Then Titanium renders the data items on the current page for this panel (CondensedPage and/or some Page1 ... PageN) using the layout items in the .cpr file.

I have the same problem - I don't know how to refresh a single page. Refreshing the entire HS by its GUID works, but the same trick won't work on a single page. Refreshing it by the panel GUID also don't work...

Updating Panel
Simply toggle the "Updated" registry key to 0 and then back to 1.
Sample c#:
Code:
rk = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\CHome\" + PanelName, true);
rk.SetValue("Updated", 0);
rk.Flush();
// update all of the data for this panel...
rk.SetValue("Updated", 1);
rk.Flush();
In any language the idea is the same. Originally I was having trouble when I was simply setting Update to 1 without toggling it.
Hope that solves it for you.
BTW - I have no idea how to refresh a single page of a single panel or if that's even possible.

So I wrote a simple updater:
Code:
RegistryKey klucz = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\CHome\\SlidingAlbums", true);
klucz.SetValue("Updated", args[0], RegistryValueKind.DWord);
klucz.Flush();
I'm running it by Pocket Controller-Pro from the command line, and no respond.

So... I guess that you are calling it with a "0". Then changing some registry value. Then calling it again with a "1". And the data on the screen isn't changing?
This update only changes the data displayed, it does not cause a "reload" of the .cpr file.
How are you changing the registry values that relate to the data used by the panel? What is the "whole" picture here?
Also note that the panel name is case sensitive.

Yes, I've also tried to change it from .NET project but the effect is the same.

I know that
But there's one thing - I'm doing it on WM6.1 Standard. Maybe this is the main problem, but I think that CHome is working the same as it is on 6.5 Professional.

HD2 US: Need help on how to disable vibration in text input

I need help in disabling vibration when using the keyboard. I've tried to look for it in the forums and in the device settings but did not find anything. There is no personalization in the Settings tab.

I know the setting is in there somewhere. A search for "vibrate typing" turned up amongst others:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588026
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630388&highlight=vibrate+typing
I guess you'll find the answer in both of those threads.

thanks for the links! but i think the HD2 US that i have does not have that remove vibration option in the settings. i tried to look for that option in all the settings but i could not find it. if it's there, then i definitely need to have my eyes checked.

Im running a generic HTC ROM on my T9193 model; go to the Settings tab (in Sense), then Personalize, then Vibration

Using Resco Registry go to
Hkey Local Machine > Software > HTC > ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
Soft reset and BAM!
But this is with Resco Registry, with another reg edit program, i am not sure what kind of string you are adding, hopefully it is still called DWORD.

This is really useful, especially because it turns off only keyboard vibration. Thank you very much!

If anyone is still having issues with this problem there is an easier way without messing around with the registry. From any screen hit the Windows button to the right of the home button on the phone itself, not the touchscreen. Then find the "settings" icon and tap that. Next you will see a "personalize" tab and tap it, at the very bottom of those options you will see a "vibration" tab, tap that and you will be taken to a screen that allows you to change the settings for the keyboard, simply uncheck the box, tap done and your all set

I'm using the NRG ROM, and those instructions don't make any sense to me. Also, be aware that the stock TMOUS ROM (as I recall, I didn't use it long), does not give access to the standard "Settings" icon except via the Sense tab.

You are correct, on a stock ROM if I remember right you have to go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Imput I think it has been a little while since I used any Windows Mobile ROMs now.

Registry hack worked for me.
Would be interesting to determine impact on battery life.

TMOUS-Sense Vibration Settings
This is an old thread but there was a recent reply. For the T-Mobile HD2 with a stock ROM amd/or the Sense overlay, go to the Settings tab, select Personalize, select Vibration and then uncheck the box. However, this did not turn off vibration for the Swype keyboard.
If you have another ROM, then these settings may not be available via this method. BSB Tweaks has settings to turn off/on vibration for HTC apps and calculator vibration. Of course, the registry editing will work. I have found the Resco registry editor to be easy and useful.

Need help to disable vibration when typing

I've looked in the forums and in the phone's settings and I did not find anything. Does somebody know how to do it?

Vibrate text fix
Its an easy fix. Just go to Start/Setting/Personalize/Vibration. It is a cool feature but it uses a lot of battery life.

if you cant find this under the personal settings try in system or just settings
