Registry change in WM6.1 - Mogul, XV6800 General

Hi all,
First off, thanks for all the information and work you guys put in. With the write-ups I have been able to get the GPS working and the VoiceCommand 1.6 with one exception. I cannot get the BT headset working with the Voice Commander and the point where I'm stuck is that the registry key ...AudioGateway\BTAGExtModule will not accept a change. Using PHM Reg Edit I can rename the key and 'save' but when I close the editor and then reopen the key gets reverted back to OEMAGW. If I delete the key completely it gets restored automatically to OEMAGW. Can someone please point me to a thread that could help me out or answer this one?
Thanks.
Mark
Mod Edit: Moved from Titan Upgrading

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm using Resco registry editor and the change isn't sticking. I've added a simple string at a different location and did a soft reset and it stayed so that led me to believe that perhaps there were some kind of security policies being enforced that were causing this problem (I sync with an Exchange server so sec policies are being pushed down). Now to find out how to turn those off I think may resolve this... I'm still searching for a solution so if anyone has any updates please do post back...
Thanks!

Problem with hacks working on US MDA...help

Hi,
New here. I have been learning a lot from everyone here, Thanks!
I seem to have a problem though.... Every Hack so far that I try to implement won't work. Here are 2 examples:
Change Reg Keys for Left Soft button. I want it to point to my Agenda Fussion Calender instead of the Windows calender. So I change the Key to point to the AF exe location, being very careful to leave "" and to type path in precisely. I save the change and soft reset the device to see if it works...NOPE....When I go back into the registry to see what happened, the registry key is changed back to point to the microsoft calender. I have even closed the reg editor and reopend to check the change before the soft reset. Before the re-set my change is still there, but not after....
I have tried both PHMRegedit and TascalRegedit.
I have a US version of the MDA with ROM version# 2.26.10.2 WWE
Next problem I wanted to stop the system tray from showing up. So I removed the shortcut for Init_Tray from the startup menu....Well the tray still shows up. Now looking in the startup menu the shortcut is no longer there, but it still launches the tray!
What Am I doing wrong here? I see people making these same hacks and they work for them.
A little background on me. I have been entrenched in computers since 1983. Doing my share of programming (though nothing since I was kid...). I have been using pocket pcs for the last 2 years. With Toshiba 740's and e800's. So I am capable of doing this stuff. But for some reason I can't get these things to work...
Any help? Sorry for being so long winded
on your registry problem.. after changing the value manually, let the phone sleep or just sit there for a few minutes before soft resetting.. There is a delay write to the registry...
Thanks ShogunMark
I need to be more patient. I did this just before I read your reply...The hack for the soft button is now working the way I want. Now to get rid of the bottom system tray.
Thanks again!!
im not sure if you can exactly get rid of the system try completely in WM5.. however i could be wrong... i think at most you can only get rid of the icons in it.. but it does prove very useful for placing shortcuts..

registry keys

Hi Everyone:
A small clarification is needed. My device is defaulting to Moscow GMT+3 everytime I restart it. I want to know actually 3 things if possible:
1- What's the registry key that allows you to select the regional settings?
2- How can I know the table code of countries like Moscow is 0x00FFXXX, etc... for the various time zones.
3- I noticed sometimes that whatever registry keys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> nls, they are changed everytime the system restarts. I was assuming that nls\overrides is doing that but I altered everyting and yet after restart new values appear in nls keys and even in overrides. Is there any other place in registry that writes values on top of nls upon restart?
appreciate the help,
Cheers
I have a similar problem where the backlight timeout setting (on battery power) resets to 10 seconds everytime I turn my MDA off. Really annoying.
I've tried changing the setting in the registry directly as well, but it still changes back.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Scott
It is strange that something keeps changing the reg settings.
I had the 10 second thing on my Jamin and it seem to have something to do with the screen lock plugin.
Never did solve it.
Locale settings are in HKLM\nls DefaultLCID (dword) and you can find all possible values here.
But the time zone is set in HKLM\Time\TimeZoneInformation and its a bit complicated (its a whole data structure and not just a value)
I think you need to check your startup programs (HKLM\init and windows\startup).

Thank you for your reply and for the great link. I am starting to feel that this problem is related to HTC Home. Appreciate if anyone can comment on this issue.
Requesting Moderators / Admin to move this post to the appropriate board
I've been playing with the new PDAMobiz ROM and discovered that in Settings->Phone there is an option to sync time with the cellular network.
Unfortunately this will also force your time zone in to what ever the network is set to which at least in my case is incorrect because the network operator did not want to bother with DLS settings.
Perhaps you have this setting on as well?

Disable New SMS Auto Wake Up and Turn On Screen?

Hi,
I've owned the Xperia for a week and it's a great WinMo device. However unlike Touch Pro or Diamond, there's no registry tweak available to turn off the auto wake up on new sms feature.
I found it really annoying. Everytime a new SMS arrived when the phone was in my pocket the screen automatically turned on, and as I was walking my jeans' pocket continuously "touched" on the phone screen and accidentally opened bunches of programs and scroll up and down until it hanged.
It will be perfect to just make sound + vibrate, but keep the screen off, as I could do on Touch Pro.
Anyone knows of such a solution please do help!
I need to bump on that...
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
aint advanced config 3.3 working for that?
I was having this problem too... the only thing I changed to attempt to fix this was instead of pressing the power button to sleep the phone before I put it into my pocket, I press and hold the end key so that it locks the phone and dims the screen. The screen eventually turns off and it requires you to unlock the phone when you power it back on. When you receive an SMS or Email, the screen still lights up, but you have to press unlock, then tap unlock to start using it.
Yes, I have the same problem too and hope we can have the option to turn it off so that the screen will not lighted up when there is new sms or call.
Can someone work on this?
The registry key used for the tweak that works on Touch Pro does not exist, which is HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL

That option is for Touch Diamond and Touch Pro only, and it does not show on Xperia when you use Advanced Config. It's obviously related to the registry key mentioned above.
I have found the solution, just need to use any registry editor like the Resco Registry Explorer or the SKTools to edit the registry.
Dont want the device to wake up on new SMS ?
It still notifies you with sound/vibrate/LEDs, but the screen will not turn ON
Just add in the below line into the registry location :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
Has anyone tried this out to see if it works...???
Cheers

I have tried it myself and it works, I don't have to worry that I might press anything on the screen when there is incoming SMS.
Thanks for getting back to me...
I was having this problem... when in my pcoket and getting tx message and the opt pad going all over the screen... kinda funny...
Im assuming when updating this key will be deleted and have to be put in again???
Thanks

Cheers

Using your Registry Explorer an go to the below location :
Location in Registry : HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
Select "New" D_Word and you will be asked to enter the details :
Top portion just enter : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
and bottom portion just enter the value : 1
Save it and you should find the details there :
[HK_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:1
For easier way, you can download the latest Xperia Tweak and it include the option to turn off the screen for any incoming sms.

Confirmed Work!
I can confirm this solution works perfectly! I thought if the value does not exist means the device does not support it. Thanks chongbh!

[Working] Fix for incorrect SMS time + removal of roaming triangle *fixed reg entries

For anyone on a provider using a third party's towers eg. Fido on Roger's network in Canada. You'll notice the roaming triangle in the taskbar. While researching i've found a Registry key which i tried out without any sucess:
Code:
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
DisableRoamingIndicator=0
I found this key:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Taskbar\
Dword name: [B]ConsistentRoamingIconSlot[/B]
Dword Value (decimal): [B]0[/B]
which hides the triangle when you have a program open in the foreground (will still show on today screen). Works really well on default rom since the panels are considered a program and the triange will only show when you're in a call or on the windows today screen.
The sms fix was found in the Touch HD wiki under tips and tricks.
Code:
Incorrect SMS Time - As provided by Touch-Guy..
Create DWORD key TrustTimeZoneField and set the value to 0 under
HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting
Fixed the location of the ConsistentRoamingIconSlot, posted wrong location previously.
Thx, the roaming logo was buggin me!
thanks a lot, I wish there was a way to completely remove it but this is great!
I just got X1 with WM6.1 and tried to change the Registry to correct the SMS time issue, but it did not work. Any idea?
it worked for me. Try to do a soft reset after you do the regedit.
Still not working..
Someone pointed my out the 'SMS time' registry fix before but it doesn't work for me. I've got the latest TF3D installed.. all the received messages state the time an hour earlier then they actually arrived.
Somebody got a working solution for me?

Missing bluetooth icon in Start menu bar.

I've been using my xperia for some time with out any problems but recently I discovered that the bluetooth icon that appears on the Start bar is completely missing.
Whenever I turn on bluetooth there is no visual confirmation in the Start menu bar. Bluetooth connection work as intended but I have no icon and it can be quite confusing without a visual feedback.
Does anyone know of registry keys that handle it or where these bluetooth icons are stored (maybe they got deleted somehow)?
Thanks
Iam having the same problem
I tried to uninstall all the recent programs i installed but the problem remains
I fixed it by changing some keys in the registry and then rebooting.
Unfortunately I am not sure which exact key made the difference, I changed a lot and then to my amazement after a soft reset it started appearing again. It is definitely a registry key on the bluetooth or the Taskbar entries (might have to do with enlarge start menu too).
Could u please tell me what extacly did u do?
Coz i searched over the whole forum for answer but still got no clue

As I said I am not sure, I changed some registry keys regarding bluetooth and/or taskbar and it did the trick.
Use a registry editor and search for bluetooth and taskbar entries. Be careful though because if you change the wrong keys it could brake your WinMo installation and then need to reflash.
I really can't help you more on that, I hope that I knew which registry keys fixed it.
