Hi all
i think we all know this bug so here is what i found out.
there is DWORD setting in registry in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\FlashLightPowerUnavailable and it is set to 1
i tried to change it 0 but after soft reset it was back to 1.i even tried to delete this DWORD but after another softreset it was back again.
any ideas how to get rid of it?
I wouldn't excatly call it a bug.
Its a feature, designed to stop you accidentally using the flash and running out of battery.

Hello, i´m new in this forum. I'm not very good in english, but i will try it.
I'm developing an applicqation in XDAII that uses serial port.That application is automatically re-installed every time I do a hard-reset (i have modified config.txt in the extended rom).The problem is that every time i do a hard restet, the irda port is enabled in the configuration-conexions-transfer menu. So every time i do a hard reset i have to disable manually the irda transfer. Do somebody know how to disable the irda modifiyng a registry key? Once i know the registry key that do this, i can build a application that modify that key. Thank a lof for all.
Your question interested me as I have also done what you are describing, and what you are asking is a very good idea.
I did a little investigation into the registry but I don't have good news. I did a total dump of my XDAII registry with Beam Ticked and Un-Ticked. I then did a compare of the 2 results. It seems the setting is in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex and Key IsEnabled is set to 1 for On or 0 for Off.
However changing the registry value just changes the state of the tick and makes no differance to the serial port being locked. So it seems that the registry is just a store for the current setting of the tick.
If you do get a final answer to this please post on this forum thread as it would be useful for me as well.
If you set this registry value and then reboot/reset the device, is IR turned off, (and the serial port unlocked)? I'm wondering if during the boot process it reads this value and will turn off IRDA ??
Yes, it does then seem to work.
So it seems you have to set the IsEnabled key to 0, and then do a warm reset.
So I guess an exe could check the value in the registry key and if it was 1, it could set it to 0 and then do a warm reset. If the key was already 0 then nothing would need to be done.
IR Problem
Hi all,
had the same problem about 3 months ago. To solve the problem i replaced the comport to 9999 during the installation of the cab file.
Work fine for me
If anyone can help me. I would thank you 1million times. Ive searched and searched and searched and couldnt find the answer. Heres the problem:
When i hit buttons on the slideout keyboard, the letters come out wrong.
For example
When I press "i" it shows ".i"
When I press "q" it shows "zq"
When I press "e" it shows "ce"
When I press "g" it shows "lg"
When I press "l" it shows "lg"
When I press "z" it shows "zq"
When I press "c" it shows "ce"
Pleaseee help me!. Ive tried everything. Im using ROM 2.17, it had the same problem even with the original ROM.
did you check your registry yet? Go to
\HKCU(HK Current User)\ControlPanel\Keybd
And see if you have a key named "Locale". If you do what number does is have. For english keyboard it should be 0809. if you don´t see anything in that folder calles locale create a new String named "Locale" and set the value to 0809. then power your device down with the off button and switch it back on again. If that didn´t help.i have no idea.
i have the key "locale" already set with hex 0809. I guess thats not it. Im still trying to fix this thing. i really wished i knew what caused this to happen. it sucks not being able to use the slide out keyboard.
has it been like this from the beginning or when did it start?
try changing it to let´s say german settings and see if it still happens. change the value to 0407. you can always chang it back.
that didnt work either. I cant remember exactly when it happened. Im pretty sure I didnt buy it like this. Even after the ROM upgrade they keyboard problem still exists..
Would you or anyone else give me the settings from their HTC Wizard phone at HKCU/Control panel/Keybd ?
Mine look like this:
DefaultKeyLock 1 (0X000001)
EnableIndicator 1 (0x000001)
InitialDelay 375 (0x000177)
Locale 0407 (was just changed, but i will change it back)
MuteSwitch 1 (0x000001)
repeatrate 8 (0x000008)
ShowWangingMsg 1 (0x000001)
the settings are the same as in my registry. did you do a hard reset bevore you flashed the new rom on your device. that should have reset your regestry also. and if that was the case then i don´t believe that it´s a registry problem. Do you have any thirdparty software on that might conflict with the keyboard? maybe some SIP program or something?
just to make suer. check under
HKLM\Hardware\Devicemap\Keybd
CalVKey 0
ContLessVKey 0
ContMoreVKey 0
DriverName keybddr.dll
TaskmanVKey 35
just wondering what you have there.
hmm... If i do a hard reset now, would could go wrong? Do i lose any settings? does it revert back to factory defaults?
How do you do a hard reset anyway?
Do you think I should try that ?
This is whats listed in "Remove Programs" under system settings:
PC Counselor Tweaks2k2.NET
XDA Developers Registry Wizard
PHM Registry Editor
Zoki A2DP
Cingular Get Xpress Mail
FdcSoft PPCContactsMgr
ammar Wireless Today Plugin
yes a hard reset delets everything of your phone and then reinstalls the rom. so you loose any data that you have on your phone and it puts all settings back to factory default. and you have to install everything from scratch.
for a hard reset you need to hold the comm and voic dial button on the sides of the phone pressed and push the reset button with your stylus.
But that should only be the last option.
I dont have anything stored on memory anyway. I keep everything on my storage card. So losing everything is not a problem. I even have the pim file stored on my memory card that holds all my contacts info.
So by doing this, it will revert back to original ROM?
Wheres the reset button on the phone? How can u press it with the stylus?
yes it will clear your storage on the phone and then install the rom you have on there from scratch.
the reset button is the small hole under the IR on the left side of your device. be sure to sync before you do a hard reset to have your contact/calender/mails all backed up. If you have any reg tweaks made you will have to change those again after the hard reset because they will also be back to default.
Hey, sorry to bug you still but when i press the 2 buttons on the side (comm and voice), a recoding window pops up then when i press the reset button, it does reset, but it comes back up, nothing got erased.....
yeah it´s a bit tricky. try turning the phone off first. then when it´s off press and hold the two buttons and press reset. make sure you hold the comm and voic dial button until you get a grey screen which askes you to press send to format. Send is the green phone button.
OK, its formatting right now. I will let you know how it goes.
I had to turn it off, turn it back on. As soon as i turned it on, before it even loads up, I had to press both buttons and hold down the reset button. You're right, was a bit tricky.
Well, I hope this works! =)
I will let you know how it goes in about 5min.
That didnt help any. It formatted and reloaded everything but not to factory defaults. It still shows as ROM 2.17 etc.
that´s the last rom you have on there. it only resets to the factory setttings of the rom which is currently on your phone.
yeah. I need to find the factory ROM somewhere.
Unfortunately I cant access ftp servers from my pc here @ work.
which version do you want? you can try a new one if your phone is unlocked. i just recently put on the new Mr.Clean 2.3 rom and like it pretty much actually. I can access the ftp here from work. if you want i can email you the file you want.
You wouldnt believe it, but i downgraded back to 1.xx and still had the problem, im currently upgrading back to 2.17.
I opene dup the port to allow me ftp access from here.
Whats the link to get to the rom you use?
then i really don´t think that it´s a software problem. maybe you should contact your customer support. the rom i have you can get here
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/MrClean_RUU_WIZARD_224a_AKU23_WWE.zip
sorry i couldn´t help. hope you find a way to fix it. i couldn´t live to have a keyboard i can´t use.
How can i get it?
Just upgraded to 2.3, having the same problem
how do i change the pad?
I am on a trip and had my Universal stuck at startup and had to hardreset. Restored everything with SPB backup and all is working great besides the backlight. Whatever interval I put it just goes back to 10 seconds.
Can anybody tell me which is the setting in registry to try to fix it in that way?
Using latest iMate rom...
Thnx
Yup same thing with me, backlight switches off after a few seconds no matter what the settings. Wonder what is going on? Any solution? Thanks.
Cheers.
Is it possible that I am asking impossible? Pls, can some1 help with this?
Pls!
You can find the registry key to change the backlight duration here in the WiKi: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
I use PHM Registry Editor. Make sure after changing the registry, leave your device ON for a minute then perform the soft reset for the change to take effect.
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?
HI Guys...I love my HD MINI but problems seems to resurface similar to Diamond2.
When your phone is on standby mode, which means u trigger the power button to put it on black screen, any sms your sender deliver to you will not sound off but just the blinking green light at top left corner. This make it very irritating as you will not realised until you use your phone.
BUT!!! Its just a simple and easy way to solve this:
1) Download this Registry Editor:
freewareppc.com/utilities/phmregistryeditor.shtml
2) Follow the steps accordingly,
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
HKLM = HKEY_Local_Machine
And its done!!! Enjoy guys!!!
good skills dude! Thanks
Doesn't work for me though. Set the key you specified to 0, did a soft-reset, but the damn thing doesn't wake up anyway (and yes, I've double-checked everything, the HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent stays 0 after the soft-reset). Any more clues anyone?

guess what? I don't have this problem. My device - italian ROM: 1.07.408.1 (85429) - sounds when it gets a message in the standy-by mode.
Mine neither. SMS message alert is fine when in standby.
Sorry for the people having problems with this though. Can imagine it's very annoying.
