Camera settings (to remove snow effect):
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/AppDefSettings/General
Set Contrast - 5, Brightness - 6, Saturation - 3, Hue - 5,Sharpness - 3
These settings will not reset themselves after closing the camera app or doing a soft reset! They become defaults.
Hope you find it useful!
kta,
That was great. It was minimized.
But i have not checked the output of the shot.
will it affect the output shot?
I tried this on my XDa2i but it doesnt work, the lowest value it allows me to enter is 0
To bad that won't work on the XDA II the camera needs a lot of help too. Does anyone know of a fix for the XDA II?
Emil, the output shot will be better as well!
Daredevil, the values are +ve, ie. 5, 3, etc. Maybe I should have used a ":" instead of a "-".
Great work!!!
thanks for the tip
I do not have these settings in the registry. Is this because I have not updated the ROM ?
Hi, where do I find this regedit?

You don't need to go into the registry...
fire up the camera application and click the settings button
click on the tools menu and choose adjust...
the settings are in the drop down box...
In this way you won't have to meddle with the registry...
amazing!
Hey kta, I tried it out, just wanna let you know the results are amazing!
I had given up on this camera (and just about the phone as a whole) especially when my friend checked with someone working with doopod said that this is a hardware (lens) problem so we can't really do anything about it. But you did it!
Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate the fix!
Fantastic! I applied it and it is much better
Thank you VERY much
amazing!

If you don't change them in the registry, the settings will reset themselves once you close (not minimise) the camera application or when you change the ambience from auto to night, etc.
The only permanent fix is to change them in the registry. Here's a link to a free registry editor: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=31
PS: To all those that showed their appreciation: You're welcome
Maybe I missed something but I still do not find these attributes in the registry.........see my earlier post and screen shot.
kta, I agree that to get the change to stick its a registry change but in my registry I don't have these parameters. Is this because I have the older ExtROM ?
Grunt,
I'm not sure why you don't have these in your registry. I don't think it's the ROM version. I would try changing the settings in the camera settings and see if they get created. If that doesn't work I would try entering them manually as DWORD values base decimal (Brightness, Contrast, Hue, Saturation, Sharpness).
Why aren't you upgrading to 1.11 anyway?
for mini?
hi does this registry tweak work for mini also? if yes, Brightness - 5
is it refering to brightness = 5? sorry saw someone on the above mention post trying to go lower than 0...thanks
Just to clarify:
Camera settings (to remove snow effect):
In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Camera/AppDefSettings/General

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

Not sure about yours but I do not have this key so I have to create a new one and it is working.

Does it need to be where the
HKCR
HKCU
HKLM
are???
Cheers
Sorted now and working well...
Thanks again

However Resco registry give me an error and doesn't create this dword. Very very strange...

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!

Forgive my lack of basic knowledge but how do you edit the registry on the wm phone?

nice but what does it do
What does Video Share mode do? Seems like a 4:3 video capture mode.
What I would like to see is a way to capture bigger vids with better quality, even if it meant much bigger file sizes... because i can just pull them off and encode them on pc...
Ideas?
Also whats GPS photo...

Using a similar method are we able to change to landscape in pocket word. I don't know if I have missed something but landscape word is an absolute must for me as it reduces scrolling etc.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I'm having a small problem with the screen responses on my phone. I just went into the registry and made some changes to enable clear type in Landscape mode....and well...for some reason now....the 'ok' or 'x' tht appears on the top right hand side of the screen in landscape (right handed landscape mode) is unresponsive. It wont acknowledge any taps with the stylus or finger. I tried a soft reset and nothing. So now my phone is stuck in landscape mode...and it wont budge. Any ideas?
Sim reappear?

After that change, you off course need to reset to take effect. Once done, it would stay the way you want it.
Cheers.
I logged into the Windows live (MSN) program that comes with the phone as standard.
When logged out, i looked in my contacts phonebook and all my Windows live contacts were there! And when i took them away and logged into Windows live again, they were gone, probably for taking them away from the contacts phonebook in the phone..
Very irritating!
Now, is there some setting so i can make them not to show in the contacts phonebook?
I mean, as you can do with the SIM contacts?
Hello !
I'm using an HTC Touch HD French version for 2 weeks now and a got a problem with the camera.
First it was working fine, but after a few days without using it I try again and a cannot take picture in photo "standard" mode. Between this of course I add a lot of app on my HTC so maybe one of it had create the problem.
The point is:
If I take a pic in "photo mode" it take the photo correctly and then after 1 sec it was taken the loading logo appear on the screen and the app stay like this for a long time (more than 1 or 2 min). I can go back to the TF3D by pressing the "home" or arrow button but in any case the picture was not saved on the phone memory anywhere.
But the more curious thing is the following. If I take a picture in another mode it work perfectly !!! "contact's photo mode", "Landscape mode", "Theme photo mode" (sorry if their are not the accurate name, I don't know them in the English version), I try all of them and I had no problem with it.
About the app I install on my HTC, the only one that should use the camera is Quickmark (for reading QRcode) it work very fine and I don't think it's making the problem.
If anyone had the same problem or has an idea to help me fixing it, thank in advance for helping me !
i have this exact same problem. it started happening today after doing the registry tweaks to allow the extra camera modes. i haven't tried other camera modes yet. i'll give it a go now and see if it's the same as you.
edit: that's so weird! all the other camera modes work... but when i go back and take a standard photo i get the spinning logo for a 1-2 minutes.
what programs have you installed recently? or since you last had the camera working? have you made any registry edits?
i changed the settings so that it doesn't review the picture after you take it (default is 3 seconds). and now it goes to the spinny logo right after you take picture, that makes me think its a problem related to saving the photo to the device. im gona keep fiddling
Thanks I'm not the only one with this problem.
Actually I've install so much things... the problem is that I was not using the camera a lot of time so I cannot set precisely witch program could have made the problem. But if it's about writing the files in the memory, I don't really know was could create that, I've no special program about file managing or so.
For exemple I have: Quickmark, GPRS NoData, Advanced config, Coreplayer, fring, Gyrator2, TomTom7, SecureW2 TTLS Client 4.0.0, WiDiFoFum2, WMMiniGPS, Metro, PocketUno, SimCity2000, FakeCall, other app are small stuff...
EDIT !!! I've just add the hotfix and desinstall an application that was not working (ResPhone) and now the problem change. I can take the photo, it same to work good again, but when I go to the album all the picture taken are a BIG JAM of pixels (purple, white and green!!) and it's still only in "photo mode", other modes are working fine like before !
And now i was just doing so test and the problem come like before again ! Amazing, I'll be crazy !
i fixed it! man i was just about to do a hard reset and all...
i went into advanced config and reset the camera settings back to default. i think i had changed the settings: encode photos in portrait mode, capture key delay and key delay. put them back to normal, soft reset and it all works again
it will be interesting to see if you had changed settings in advanced config as well.
Thank you ! it seems to work again.
I'm not sure I changed some stuff about camera in advanced config but anyway now I set like this and it work:
encode photos in portrait mode: NO (the program seems to do it anyway)
capture key delay: enabled (default)
key delay: enabled (default)
Hope it can help others too.
Hi,
Wonder if someone can give me a quick answer to this problem...basically when I make a call the screen automaticaly turns off after a few seconds until a hardware button is pressed...is there anyway to turn off this feature? Just that I want pocketshield to completely control the way the screen turns on/off during calls? A registry edit perhaps?
Thanks
HD Tweak (http://montecristoff.webs.com/hdtweak.htm) will sort that out for you. It's one of the first options.
hi,
look to this prog,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
have fun
I've got HD Tweak but changing the settings for sleep to off doesn't make any difference.
Also have Touch In call tweak - its a good program but would prefer not to use too many programs and if pocketshield can do the same thing I'd prefer that.
I'm using Duttys 6.1 ROM is this anything doing with HD tweak not working? Does anyone know the registry key to change the screen going to sleep on making a call?
Thanks

Use your registry editor regedit.exe, should be one already on your rom. If not on your apps list try in /windows

will this tip affect only while on call?
thx
I use:
Touch_InCall_Screen_Tweak v1.1.2.CAB
When holding the HD vertical the screen is dark en doesn't react to touching.
When you hold your HD horizontal the screen is active and can be used as normal.
This works only when a call is active.
Good luck!
(same advice as rambo12345)
