Enable Time Zone change?

I found a registry change that enabled the Time Zone Screen under phone options a while back; had to do a hard reset and can not re-locate the message.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks

See the "AKU2 ROMs Tweaks" section of this Wiki page.

look for "ShowNITZPage" under hklm/software/oem/phone
change default from 0 to 1.
no soft reset required.

Thank you for the replies, I did a search earlier before posting and for some reason did not come up with anything.

Curious behaviour after hard reset

Hallo community,
my Ameo showed some problems since yesterday:
The Screen brightness when running on battery couldn't be adjusted anymore. It stayed always to lowest level.
Soft reset didn't work, had to perform a hard reset therfore.
Now there occured some curious things:
When choosing "Einstellungen (settings) - System - Beleuchtung (Illumination ?) - Helligkeit (Brightness ?)" I can only adjust "Energiesparmodus (Energy saving modus ?)". Until hard reset I had had two settings "Battery" and another for a connected modus.
Another thing:
When choosing "Einstellungen (settings) - Persönlich (personal ?) - Menüs(menues ?)" there are some menu items twice. It is "web'n'walk", "Nachrichten" and "Tray Display". "Web'n'walk" and "Nachrichten" are both ticked and I cant untick them to remove from startmenu.
How to remove these double items from the menu and how to untick these unnecessary items ?

Sounds like a good time for a second hard reset.
Did you restore settings from a backup thew first time? That could be it.
I did have some "baby growing up" issues with my Athena the first go around. I tested, re-tested and generally <censored> around with it.
After I had to hard reset, and I tried to remember what worked, and what didn't.
Keep in mind, nothing works perfect but things can be worked around.

Had the same problem and this post from Daryl Mushtaq solved it for me!
-----------------------------------
hi Devany
not sure if you managed to find a resolution but i too had a similar problem.
i think mine was caused by phonemanager (which i have since uninstalled)
i found that when on battery power the slider in backlight settings did absolutely nothing. the only time the backlight would become brighter was when the alarm was going off.
searching throught the registry i found the solution.
navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\controlpanel\backlight
change the onoffbat key to 1 (mine was set to 0)
once done press the power key down for ages to reboot.
my slider now works fine.
hope this helps

Sorry - is a Newbie question:

how to navigate to the HKEY ?

There are lots of registry editors for PPCs I use resco reg editor because it came with resco explorer but there are plenty of free ones.
As always with registry editing BE VERY CAREFUL you can easily brick your machine if you don't know what you are doing.

Thanks to confucius.

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?

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?

ahhh, now i understand what you mean. had that behaviour on my old imate.
I am not sure what caused this...it is a windows mobile problem and not device specific i think...
I did a hard reset back then and reinstalled all the applications.

oh no.. pls dont do this to me... i cant afford to hard reset..
anyone who knows this registry setting... PLS be kind to reply.

and why can't you hardreset? backup your pim data, hard reset, reinstall your apps (how many do you have? 10? thats done in minutes) and you are good to go.
too bad i dont remember what cause tthis damn behaviour...

i think its some dam* setting
why do MS has to come up with such a friendly os
argghhjj

Hey Leo,
This problem happened on my old HTC Universal. I believe it was because I was playing with font size/settings. Try changing the size of the system font in SETTINGS --> SYSTEM --> SCREEN --> Font Size (tab).
This may help you out. I can't really remember what solved the issue, or if i even did solve it at all. It's a simple thing worth trying anyways...
Hope that helps!

what is the default size? my system is 9.
anyone pls????? it is getting VERY disturbing

leobox1 cant see the font size in numbers in here. There is a bar where you are suppose to adjust the size from Smallest Largest. Its right in the middle for me.
Hope this may help

can I asked what you have installed?
It use to happen with me on my old HTC Kaiser it was related to "D-PAD Scroll Navigation unded PocketIE" which I had to disable. Have you installed a tweak program which could have enabled these options?

hi
i have sktools
tweak2k
pocket mechanic
advance tools

in tweaks2k2 go to internet settings untick pie smooth scrolling accept settings and reboot then try and open a sms.

ARRGHHH trial expired.. cansomeone point me which reg key is it?

BINGO !!!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Navigation
- Change the value of the DWORD "4-Way Nav" into 1
this solve the SMS halfway prob... but of course i do not know what this breaks instead

ty all ...

please dont request regs or warez in the forum it's not alowed and will if don
many times result in a ban

oh.. rudegar.. you mistook me.. i meant which registry key is for that tweak.. as my key is expired.
