Cingular 8125 / Wizard Keyboard light - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Does anybody know how to edit to make the keyboard light stay on longer... it turns off so fast sometimes you are floudering for keys in the dark.
Thanks!

search the forum. this has been talked about before. the keyboard light is controlled by a hardware switch, sadly no registry keys for it :-(

that's real shatty. this was the one reg hack I was looking for taday.

Is that with an 'i', yes htc have been contacted and a hardware fix will be put in place, though maybe for the next version of the wizard.

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'?

Registry help aligning Prophet screen

I would like some help.
Part of my Prophet screen doesn't work anymore.
This means aligning is hell.
I would like to squeeze some more life out of the thing ...
Especially with guys like Gullum, Cloudifa, and all the other ones ...
I have already found out the registry key is
HKLM\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\Calibration settings
I have only found values for elf, atom and others on the net.
But they are not yet as close to Prophet (atom is OK except for the far right side of the screen (scroll ...)
Could someone please be able to give me the values on their prophet ?
Want to post it instead of messaging directly to keep this on the forum for others.
If I should have missed an earlies posting woth the settings, sorry, please then redirect me.

These values are unique to each device. If every device was the same, there would be no need for this!
From my ROM setup: 1839,1997 3118,684 3126,3328 577,3291 602,690
Thanks !
I know about the unique settings, but with your prophet settings I can try to come closer thn woth settings fora completely different device, and maybe tweak a bit more myself through remot registry editor.
Thanks again!

You need a registry editor. If you just want to realign the screen, hold the windows hardware button and then press the centre d-pad button.
salll
tnx...but my PDA doesn't allow to finish the align screen process, one of the corners i can't align it...maybe phisical problem???

keyboard wakeup
thanks for the tweak. was driving me nuts, especially since it was waking up every time I would take the phone out of a carrying case (which has small magnets for keeping cover closed) thinking that keyboard was open.

That's right!!! This tweak is one of the most important! I'm using it with my Kaiser from the very first day!
Tweak fails on Alltel Touch Pro
I have both a Sprint and Alltel Touch Pro. The SlideWakeup Dword works great on the Sprint TP but does nothing on the Alltel. The keyboard continues to wakeup the device even after putting in the key with a 0.
Any other ideas?
Works great. Thank you for this helpful tweak!

Yes. I found that the screen does not wakeup after adding the registry value.
But the keyboard light stil turn on when sliding the device, which makes the device very warm. This is wasting battery life. Any idea how to prevent the keyboard light from turning on?

i tried looking for that registry key, but was unable to find it. so i tried to create the key with the given value and it didn't work. i tried creating a DWORD in the KEYBD with the given value and that didn't work. i tried to create a string value with the given title and value and that didn't work. am i missing something? i'm running the stock ROM for the xv 6850.
I've tried creating the SlideWakeup dword with a decimal value 0 in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD. The dword and value are there but have no effect on my X1 which continues to wakeup when you nudge the slide open a bit. I've done a soft reset as well to double check the registry value was being loaded. Still wakes up.
Anyone else seeing this?
I've just done it and it works! Thx!

i have a "fuze" (touch pro). it didnt work for me at first. i checked it quite a bit for spelling and everything and everything was right. i deleted it and readded it and now it works. nothing different but whatever. some people seem to have problems with this. just try readding it and maybe itll work for you too.
Awesome Awesome Awesome!
Awesome Awesome Awesome!
This is great for those of us who keep our phones in our pockets instead of a batman belt! It would partly open in my pocket, turn on, and then do whatever my thigh wants via the touch screen. I do have to say how impressed i am at how coordinated my leg is. There were calendar entries that almost make sense!
it works fine on my TP
thanks dude...
appreciated!
I tried this - no go
I tried the remove and re-add - no go
I'm a bit tired of watching that bootup sequence
What could the people that are trying this, unsuccessfully, be doing wrong ?
Was the dword value hex/dec ?
I've been doing regedits since NT 4.0, I'm resonable good at it.
In my case my thigh keeps turning on the 'data connection'
It ocasionally calls one of my friends for a chat.
And if I wanted to go in the opposite direction? The ROM im on is set to 0 but I want it to wake up on slide... should I change it to 1?
it works...
thanx for the tips..now i can easily play with the slide on my past time
and btw, try to restart ur device..it might help
The SlideWakeUp is active while playing music on my X1i.
i often use my X1 as a music player together with my HBH-DS980. i noticed that when i slide the keyboard while playing music, my phone wakes up (except for PocketPlayer.. X1 wakes up even if there is no song playing!)
is there a way to disable it?
i have tried it with Nitrogen, PocketPlayer and WMP.. and a Wired headset..

Changing Default Keyboard?

Just out of interest and im not really a fan of the default one. I have recently installed the Touch HD? Keyboard cab which has a really nice keyboard that is big enough to be used with fingers, is there anyway of setting this as the default instead of always having too select it instead of the small blue one? Hopefully it's just a registry setting but I can't seem to spot anything.
I don't think anyone seems to have asked this before either, certainly nothing came up in a search of default keyboard.
I don't have my X1 yet, so I'm afraid I can't comment on your problem.
But, I was wondering, does the hardware keyboard still work correctly (@, etc.), and have you lost predictive contacts with the hardware keyboard also? I'm trying to get a list of what to install when I get my X1, and I'm kinda stuck with regards to the keyboard, Touch Pal seems to be the way to go, as it doesn't replace the original DLL.
I went into settings->Input and switched it to full QWERTY, Now the HTC one pops up instead of the blue one.
by doing that, after soft reset the ketboard returns to the original small blue one...
I tried to switch it in iput settigs but i still ge the blue one. Do I need to do anything on the registry?
Get SKTools (not the Standard one, the full one) and set default keyboard there. The standard WM6 config page doesn't seem to remember settings when you try set the Touch HD keyboard as default.

I have installed a few different keyboards on WM6 with my xperia and all of them have not changed the layout of the hardware keyboard, it has not changed at all. It's only the software keyboard. Predictive contacts? Predictive words? It certainly suggests words on the normal blue one, though I haven't noticed it on the Touch HD one, though to be honest I don't like anything predictive.
I have also been changing it and yes it sticks with it but as soon as the phone is switched off and back on, it changes back so I presume it's something in the registry but i've no idea what to look for. Certainly "keyboard" doesn't show anything or indicate anything that could be changed.

Changes to default keyboard via SKTools is permanent, it stays even after phone is switched off/on.
Thanks for the help thus far. I have been using SKTools since you mentioned it now and have found on a couple of occassions that it doesn't save and I need to change it. The majority of the time it does. Now you can enable/disable certain parts but the wierd thing is you cannot fully default to a different keyboard. When I select the Full QWERTY keyboard as default it sets and says Completed 1 in a little pop up box (I think it's completed) Regardless once you do that, if you try and disable or remove the default Keyboard (wm6 default) it says that you cannot because it is set at default and you must select another to be the default first. Which contradicts itself because it won't let you.
It's obviously a registry key somewhere that can be changed but to hell if I can find it. Im only using SK tools for this purpose so it would be nice to find it and then remove the utility.
Any further ideas?

did you soft reset after installing??
Here's the registry setting that did the job for me:
## ENABLE HTC FULL QWERTY AS DEFAULT KEYBOARD ##

Thanks Prosto that did the trick though I seem to have broke something. I don't think this is related but...
After I did the registry change I uninstalled SKTools and restarted the phone, then tried to start windows media player. While it starts, as soon as I try to play any type of music/video, look in the library or update library the phone freezes and I have to take the battery out to reset it. Don't understand where I was going wrong with this, i've obviously buggered something up but not being able to listen to my music is a big downer! Don't suppose you would have any ideas?

Can you adjust touch screen sensitivity

So far im liking my hd2 but the touch screen seems to sensitive especially in situations were im just holding the phone with the keys unlocked. it calls everybody. the funny thing is when im trying touch a link or something on opera it wont ****ing press. but if i put in my pocket, it does everything it can possibly start. any solutions would be appreciated.

lol... I have had the same problem and fixed it by changing the REgistry as indicated in tap #44 of the following link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583638
Hope this helps. Also other tweaks that are helpful.
I think the same thing that registry edit does is also available in cab format, in the 2nd post of THIS thread, 7th item on the list
bsb tweeks can
Yeah i also uses B&B tweaks to but I guess if you want a more precise touch you can use the reg editing.
ive used both the cab and bsbtweaks and I find bsb better. it adjusts the same reg entries, but different values.
