Turning off HTC Messaging for SMS - HD2 General

It seems to cause bugs with SMS delivery (as per other threads), and I don't like it anyway.
BSB tweaks doesn't seem to do anything however...
I'm using a custom 6.5.5 ROM that came with BSB tweaks pre-installed.

Have a read through this thread - it may prove more useful...

No problem mate. Hope it helps

Now my phone has stopped auto-locking...

That's a separate issue. Go to Start and Lock from there. It will work after that.
When that happens, you also can't open emails from the mail tab by clicking it. It bounces, as if it's about to open, but just doesn't. The above fix resolves both these issues.

My phone still auto locks... I have been using this to disable HTC messaging since my Topaz days.... I hate HTC messaging... getting back msg sent notifications is a godsend

Ah thanks.
I sort of figured this out myself after soft resetting my phone about 5 times.

Auto data connection disconnect

Helo my beloved community!
So, since the HD2 utilizes quite a lot of the data connection quite frequently (mostly for weather updates), it would be good to have an option to disconnet the data connection automatically. I presume that this is probably a registry hack. This feature can be found for example in TD2/TP2 Tools. I don't want to wait until HD2 Tolls (or Tweaks or something else) shows up (I hope it will quickly because its always something very welcome!), so maybe someone could answer quickly where to tamper with the registry to do that?
Thx in advance!
any update on this?
my gprs doesnt shutdown when its not being used

I've used an old tweak I found which seems to have done the trick, not really watched it closely enough to find out as not had time yet.

thanks for the reply but ive installed the cab and restarted but it doesnt seem to do anything
I just did the mentioned reg edits but it didn't seem to work. Then installed the cab to countercheck for my mistake. Didnt change the result, didn't work...
Even though I noticed the CacheTime setting existed from the start and was set to 600 (10 minutes).
SuspendResume original value was "~GPRS!"
Data charges are not so much the issue, I'm just concerned it might drain the battery quicker if the connection remains open permanently.

Try to do the regedits like this:
SuspendResume=GPRS_bye_if_device_off
CacheTime=5 (decimal)
VPNCacheTime=5 (decimal)
It works on my TD2, which to my knowledge has the same WM6.5 as the HD2 does. By the way, did You set the end call button long press to "terminate data connection"? If You did, then UNDO it

Right, You can't check it, as none of the HD2's hardware buttons are configurable Just ignore that question. Anyway, I think Ive figured it out to some point. It looks like the registry hack works whenever the phone connects to the web to for example browse the internet or update stocks. But it DOESN'T WORK if the phone connects to download weather updates. It looks like the Sense weather app is somehow preventing the data connection to shut down. But I think it only happens when automatic weather updates downloading is set.
hmm you do appear to be correct... now why is the weather app hanging onto the data session
Well, just tried setting both CacheTime and VPNCachetime and when checking mail I can confirm it works.
Thanks a lot! Mail checking schedule set up.

absolutely no idea I think someone smarter than us should try to find the answer. Ive already done a rather brief look around the registry and tried to find something that would get the weather app such privileges but with no success. Im thinking of addressing a new topic about that, so its more visible to the community

Twitter app doesn't close the data connection either
This is really annoying me. My battery was draining fast and could not find out why. Now I have found out that it is because I am constantly connected to Mobile Web on O2. I have tried terminating it but it starts again. Even after unchecking auto update for weather and twitter it still turns on and never off. I have mail set to download automatically but if i turn that off too then what is the point of having this phone and feature?
I have tried the setting in HD Tweak app to turn off data after 1 minute but noy joy.
Any help? Pleaseee.

Theres one more thing you should check out. The biggest connection-demander was always the NOT PROPPERLY CLOSED OPERA. If you use the opera browser, be sure to close it NOT with the X in the upper right corner, but through Opera Menu->exit function. If you close it with X, it only goes minimized and does not shut down the connection. Even if you close it, because opera is still running, after some time it will want to refresh a page and conect again. Thats why you have the imression that the phone connects by itsself. Thats not the phone, its opera

Also as stated, weather, opera etc will keep your data connection active...so end task and it should shut down a few seconds later.

I have installed a shortcut to taskmgr in my quicklinks - so if i see something constantly running i end task...it shuts it down rather than minimising it which is what happens when you hit the little X in most cases. The taskmgr tip is in the sticky at the top of the page.

Yes I know what you mean but you can't kill the weather app or twitter in this fashion as they run within Sense itsself. Besides, killing processes is not the point. The point is to have an automatic data disconnection, so you dont have to do or kill anything

Something has corrupted my message notifications, so I no longer recieve sounds for messages and emails etc. Enough though the hot fix addressed the SMS loading thread issue, I bet it has caused the issue I currently have, as I havent installed anything else. The SMS loading issue may have been annoying at times, but there were easy work arounds. Not hearing or feeling when a message comes in is damn annoying!
After installing this hotfix on my phone, I downloaded my archived messages (about 2000 of them) and tried the SMS tab. Everything worked great, apart from the known and reported issues about the display going a little odd when it had loaded all messages.
Everything was fine and then my phone suddenly started running slower than my old HD used to. Everything was stuttering and laggy, and I mean the whole phone - not just the SMS tab.
After numerous restarts and turning things off and on again, I finally re-archived all my text messages so that there were none on the phone and guess what.... it's fine again now.
The hot"fix" wasn't so hot if you ask me.

Handcent Image missing on DC2.08

hi guys..
I have updated to DC 2.08 and almost everything is perfect.
my problem is with Handcent. It will not show the images of my friends. I have tried uninstall Handcent.. reload.. rebooting. I have deleted ALL text messages, but new messages do not show images.
I tested with the stock sms app, and it shows the images!!!!!
Anybody have a fix for this???
Also... I heard that this new ROM will remove the annoying .. double menu - pop up- on thing. ie. when you press menu twice to wake up the phone... the menu pops up. But it is still there!!!
Love the ROM, fast and stable. these are my only issues.. so I am hopping someone can point me to the fix.
Thanks all!
I have the same issue. Sometimes it happens randomly. I don't think it has to do with the ROM in particular. It happens nearly every time I swap or upgrade ROMS or restore all my apps via Titanium after a wipe. :/
Would like to know the answer to this.

yeah.. been using Handcent since i got the phone back in Dec. and have used it with all sorts of ROMs and all of DC's ROMs too. DC2.08 is the only ROM that has caused this to happen.
Maybe it is time to try a different SMS app.???
Looks like I can not find a solution to correct handcent
Downloaded compsms
It is working just fine
Now I can see contact images

I had a problem on DC 2.05 I think it was where handcent wouldnt work but I think it had more to do with the update that handcent sent out I would have suggested uninstalling and reinstalling

make sure to always do the basic troubleshooting before reporting an issue. uninstalling and reinstalling is probably a good place to start. also consider a fresh wipe and reinstall of the ROM.
happy flashing!
Click to expand...

yes.. you are 100% right!!
please reread my original post. Did the reinstallation of handcent x2. did not help.
I did not reinstall the ROM. That was a last resort for me, because I have everything setup as I want it.
It is odd that both stock app and compsms works fine, and shows the contact images. So, I am leaning towards Handcent latest update was the issue. it must be conflicting with something on my phone... maybe DC 2.08.
Anyways, CompSMS is working fine. I like Handcent better, but this OK. The new big comp widget is odd to me, not sure if I like it.

Does anyone use Gesture Search?

Hey guys,
Does anyone use Gesture Search from Google? I just found out about this app and I'm lovin' it! but I couldn't figure out how to use the 'Double flip' function in the app. From what I saw, the app's suppose to start when you flip the phone, it's a neat function but apparently I can't get to work on my Rachael anyone got any ideas?
Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gD3ZYKIqj7A
sounds interesting, going try that app right now
I can't get the flip to work either...

doesn't work with yours as well huh? maybe i should report a bug to Google
It also didn't work for me, I was going to post my own thread about it
did not work for me as well, updated and tried as soon as i got the market updates notification
Me neither! Tried on all settings, tried left handed, right handed. But nope, no joy.
I use it all the time to dial numbers..
I cant stand the stock dialer app, and the 5 clicks to get to someone.
gesture only takes a few seconds.
Always worked fine for me.

Yea, that's what i love about this app. I can just swipe two letters
and my friend would pop up on my screen and I can just tap the call button.
Lovin' it! But we're talking about the Double Flip function on the new
update for the app (ver 1.2). Does that work for you?
I just posted a thread on the Google Discussion page, hopefully someone
can fix this. Will keep you guys posted
