Caps Lock - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi,
Is there a way to see if caps lock is in or not? This is useful when entering passwords.
Cheers
Marc.

WANTED: Caps lock indicator tool
I've been searching for the same.
Others have changed registry settings, but doesn't work for me.
Someone must know! Come on developers.

T9 sucks-pissing me off, please help me to delete

I am using the Jaguar 3.1 WM6 custom rom. I think there is a hack that re-enables T9 predicitve text, because every time I go and disable it in Settings/Input, it somehow re-enables itself.
I really, really HATE predictive text. It pisses me off. It is annoying. PLEASE, I have read the wiki's, searched the forums, googled...I am pretty sure there is a reg entry to permanantly disable this bane of my texting existence. I just cannot find it.
If anyone knows of a hack to disable or even delete T9 texting, please, I would appreciate knowing what it is. As always, thanks in advance for your time and input.
A little action makes for a happy woman
Cue the stripper music...
gyrate, wiggle, bounce, and...
BUMP
anyone find a cure to my T9 woes yet??? If there is a fix anywhere, I'd love to know about it. Again...thanks.
--->BUMP<---
Folks, still looking for a registry hack to PERMANENTLY DISABLE predictive text (T9 sucks). I want to go beyond Settings/input/etc...I want the damned thing off for good, never to return!!
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Please?
I have seen threads in other device sections, but none for the Wiz. Also there is a cab in the "Black Diamond" thread that says it disables T9, but it would not work...it is perhaps sensitive to that rom. After 2 months, I still have not found where to look for T9 in the reg settings and purge this f**king thing for good...or at least disable it.
No replies? Maybe you're not asking the right people...
Can't even FIND T9 as a feature/option on my Wizard. Are you sure you're even in the right thread, here? Seems like you should post this to the Wizard WM6 thread, not the standard Wiz thread...

T9 is an option via settings/input. I had it on WM5 and it is still on WM6...I don't know if it is called specifically T9...but it is listed as word completion. I do not want to make a duplicate thread, so I won't re-post in WM6. I would like to permanently disable the WORD COMPLETION feature. It will often re-engage after a reboot, then I have to go in and untick everything. I don't want to even have to worry about that...I want it dead. Reboot or not, I want it to be set as keyboard WITHOUT any word completion settings...ever. I thought perhaps in the registry under HKCU/ControlPanel/Sip...but from there, I am unsure which action would kill the T9 feature.
If anyone has any ideas to help me out, I'd really appreciate the direction to go, so that I can disable word completion...for good.
Thanks.
Ok...so going into my reg entries...I modified the sip to be "0" from previously being "4". I powered off, not soft reset...but on power up, it restored to "4" again. When I go into Settings/input/word suggest and untick, it changes from "4" to "0". So what I am wondering is this...
Is there perhaps a different number modification I need to enter to permanently disable this, or can I just flat out delete this sip entry?? And if I delete it, will it just come back on the next reboot, or conversely, would deletion harm my device?
HKCU/ControlPanel/Sip/SuggWords = 0x0 (0) (when unticked...also via physical modding of registry) I would like this HKCU/ControlPanel/Sip/SuggWords = 0x0 (0) entry to remain permanent despite resets.
Help...please. I'm getting frustrated.
Hi... I have a similar problem.
I want to disable the predictive text functionality but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Even when I disable on the settings it still keeps prompting the words, this is really annoying when typing on IM.
Any clue to fixing this??
Were you able to find a solution for your case?

Does Slide 2 Unlock (S2U2) Work?

Hey guys.
I cannot get this application to run on my dual! It just loads a black screen. It works though because I can slide to unlock it without being able to see the screen which isn't all that useful!
So is this just me?

Same problem on my Kaiser
Hi there!
I am having the exact same problem on my Kaiser phone.. :-(
Who can help?
Henk.
It's known bug with certain devices but here's a workaround disable Direct Draw:
Edit your registry, navigate to \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2
Find the key DirectDraw and change the value from 1 to 0.
Funny enough on my dual I didn't have to do this tweak!
'slide' to unlock?
I assumed 'slide' to unlock was sliding the phone open..
after a couple of resets I found out that you had to 'slide' on the screen
I there really no way this to may it work with sliding the phone open,
thought this would be really nice..
Besides from this misunderstanding of mine it works fine, caller Id is very nice!

Wow.
You are actually amazing for making that work!
You know, that may be one of the best answers I have ever recieved. Thank you so much
My Wing was doing this also. I changed the name from wallpaper.gif to Wallpaper.gif and it works fine now.
Worked!
Worked fine for me; thx!
works after the registry key change, but....
It works lousy if you activate the callerID. When you get a call , the internal phone app. takes over the S2U2, and after you finish the call the screen just remained in the position of the incoming call picture of the S2U2 and you cannot do anything except soft-reset. :-(
Does anyone has an idea or suggestion?
TIA/Zohar
sorry for my stupid q:
may i know why you choose s2u2 instead of the WM6 built-in key-lock feature? just due to big wallpaper instead of the Today screen, or some other great features attracted you?
Hey good question.
I prefer it because its a sleeker interface to go with a sleek device and also mainly because it annoys iPhone users that I know.

haha.. lol
i personally like the big caller photo most. yet i still can't make up my mind on using it for long term, because now sliding out the keypad can only wake up the device but no longer unlock it. and personally i still prefer using the green/red keys to answer/reject calls, which means the built-in key-lock feature can also do.
..and one more
It seems that all the keys and everything is locked except the iCube.
This can be activated even thouth the S2 is in keylock state.

(for Sprint Touch (Vogue) and Touch Dual (Nike))
you can lock the cube as well by adding this reg key:
[HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\Disable4SpecificApp\S2U 2]
"ClassName" = "S2U2"
is the ' ' space at the end of the key name correct? 'S2U 2' or should it be 'S2U2'?

Auto Lock when backlight is off

I tried changing the value on touch 3G but it doesnt work, even after rebooting it, what gives?
Automatically lock --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
dont work on my htc jade
Anyone knows why? I don't want to install any software for the autolock. Changing registry seems to be the best fit for me. Anyone who can help? Many thanks.
Didn't work with me as well...
I was thinking maybe it has something to do with HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\LockLevel being 0? Anybody tried changing this key to 1?
bump thread
Try CSDEVCTRL (search here in XDA) for your autolocking needs... Works like a charm!
You can try S2U2. This is a utility that will help you customize how to lock your phone while on battery and while on power.
It also allows you to set customized pictures as screensaver much like the ipod.

How to Disable Auto Screen Lock ?

Hey,
can anyone advise me on how to disable automatic screen lock when powered up from standby?
Thanks!
Just want to know the same.
It is very annoing.
Is this not possible?
Is it a part of Sense - does the screen lock dissapear when Sense is disabled?

There is no solution for this.
Is "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0" not doing it??
Is the lock a part of SENSE?
Speaking personally (and unless I am missing the spectacularly obvious - which is always a possibility) this key doesn't even exist in the registry of my device.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that it may stop the slider as well and I'm happy to keep that. I just don't want to have to enter my damn password evety time...
I dont use S2US and I dont have this key in my registry of my HD2. Any other registry hack?
The one from tboy2000 works for Windows default screen lock. Thank you!

how about not cooking the htc lockscreen in your rom? the reg that sets htc lockscreen as a custom lockscreen is here....try deleting the part in red and soft reset, maybe that will work im not sure.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\Lock]
[COLOR="Red"]"CustomLockScreensMask"=dword:00000013
"CustomLockScreensPath"="\\Windows\\LockScreen"[/COLOR]

I did not find these registry settings.
I tried to remove the htc lockscreen by removing the two lockscreen application packages in ext but lockscreen was still there.
Thanks for your reply!!
if you tried removing the htc lockscreen ext pkgs, the one that is still there is the ms 6.5 lockscreen if you want to get rid of it try deleting the cprs out of the ls pkgs in sys and see what happens.
solved
I went to HKLM/software/microsoft/shell/lockscreen
and changed Enable key from 1 to 0.
Now I have old lock style that i want.
Thanks
Is there any way to totally get rid of lock screen?
After having tried the register control settings for lock screen disabling, and PocketShield type lock screen control apps, I am still unable to totally eliminate the HTC HD2 lock screen from coming on when powering up.
Is it possible to totally dump the lock screen? When I power up (or my scheduled app powers up) I do not want anylock screens getting in the way. Does one have to "cook" up special ROMS to get rid of the HTC or Microsoft locking function?
Thanks much.

With the registry edit of the above message you got no lock screen but just the ability to lock the phone.
Pretty good progress!
Thank you for the reply. Maybe I should have started new thread as my need might slightly different.
I am still looking for the total elimination of the lock screen(s) period. But in the mean time took another look at PocketShield. It has a nice configuration feature where one can select specific applications that when launched (in my case by the device OS scheduler) fire up without a lock screen. This is very close to what I need and looks like it will suffice. Thank you PocketShield!

Hi,
I also made this, but now not only the appearing "Unlock" Button in the display unlocks the phone -every Hardware-Button (except the "hung-up") unlocks it. Is it possible to deactivate them, too?
kind regards
