Hi all ...just got the HD2 yesterday ...so far fairly impressed with it ..battery usage is a little scary down to 58 after 15 hours and most of those hours where at night ...but still got to be kind of realistic with the size of screen and cpu it has anyway could anyone help/tell me a way to turn off the vibrate function will typing on the keyboard... I’m finding typing is not a problem at with the standard setup just the annoying vibrate feedback ...ive gone through all the menus on the phone looking for the option to turn it off but nothing found also quickly checked the forum to, and didn’t see anything???..
thanks
Go to the settings tab, select the topmost option for adjusting background, tabs, etc. On the next screen you'll find an option for turning vibration feedback on/off.
Actual names might be different as I'm using a Dutch language ROM.
thank you ...was looking in the wrong place ..(the keyboard setup menu)

doing this doesn´t disable the vibration on my keyboard what can i do?
Settings -> Personalize -> Vibration. Untick the box for 'Vibrate when I tap buttons in HTC Sense,....'
doing the above will also lose the feedback vibration while clicking the tabs in homescreen...... the other simple way to only disable vibration in keyboard alone is do the following registry tweak
Using Resco Registry, go to Hkey Local Machine / Software / HTC / ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
then Soft reset and enjoy!
or install this cab.
when my htc mega locked (display off) and receive an sms the display does not light with the sms? Why? ha any way to change this system? thanks
You have to make a small change to the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent > 0
Or use program like "Diamond Tweak" with many more settings you can change.....
Indeed... ...but be carefull. HD Tweak, Diamond Tweak and Advanced Configuration are not 100% compatible with the HTC TouchPro2.
Some people prefer total control over their device by using a registry editor rather than a program that doesn't show exactly what it does
Touchpro....?
Sure ....not all tweaks in mentioned applications work....but they are convenient for most
My bad, Touch Pro 2, Touch 2... You are correct that most settings should just work.
I am building a ROM for my ipaq 214 based on build 21898.
When I load the ROM image I get the correct today items.
Now when I go to Settings -> Today -> items tab and change enabled items the today screen is empty.
When I go back to the items tab all items are disabled.
I have been searching trough registry hyves but I cannot find the problem.
Can anyone help me?
Today Customize the appearance of the Today screen and the information to display on it.
Note You will not see the Today screen when the TouchFLO Home screen is
enabled. To display the Today screen, tap Start > Settings > Today >
Items tab, and then clear the TouchFLO check box.

this is on the Touch2 manual...if it happen to be helpful
The problem was a conflict between chome and the classic interface. chome was set to exclusive mode.
I have removed chome from the build because 6.5.0 is a classic interface only version.
I've noticed that Cleartype doesn't seem to be enabled in some of the Mini applications, such as the Outlook message list. It's very noticable in a relatively low resolution device like this, if you compare for example Resco Explorer with and without Cleartype enabled. It used to be possible to universally enable it in Settings, but this doesn't seem to be there any more. Anyone any ideas on how to re-enable it?

jmatejka thank you
A more detailed working solution to enable cleartype in mini is the following:
With a registry editor go to:
HKLM -> System -> GDI
new key:ClearType, then new DWORD in the key named ClearType, Dword data=1.
Reboot your device, done. Works fine on my mini
Thanks for this. The fonts still look really dreadful to me in eg. the Outlook message list, compared to devices with the same resolution - the 1-pixel wide letters just lack clarity. They seem to be using the application's Medium font, whereas if you view a message and change the font size up to Larger it's far clearer; using this size in the list would look much better. Maybe there's a hack to change the list font size?

It's a bit kludgy because I haven't installed a screengrabber (and I'm not sure there is a HVGA-compatible one available) but in the attached images, the first shows the message list, the second and third show the text inside the email viewer at Larger and Medium font sizes. Larger is far clearer, and uses up a negligible amount of extra space. It seems to me that the list view would look much better using the Larger font.
Edit: well I never, there's a setting in Manila Settings - Font to fix this! Couldn't find it in the standard WM settings though.
Sorry for my english. I was really interested HD mini but when i saw quality of fonts i could not belive that this is possible in new device for this price. Fonts in file explorer looks much worse then in my polaris. I was search for WM resolution supported and i think that the answer for this problem is simply. WM 6.5 does not support Hvga resolution, so it does not run in its native resolution. It is the same when you set for example resolution 800x600 on the monitor with native resolution 1024x768 - fonts look blurred not sharp. Only manila is made for HVGA so the main interface looks grate but when you go inside windows fonts looks awful. Only WM 7 will support HVGA.
It actually doesn't look at all bad with a slightly larger font, attached; just the default is rather poorly designed.
This is the original. I don't see any big differences
Enabling ClearType: how to enable the Screen control panel
Hi all,
ClearType can be enabled through the Screen control panel but HTC disabled it.
To enable the Screen control panel, one may use his preferred registry editor: go to "\HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen" then change the "Hide" key content from 1 to 0. After a device reboot, the Screen control panel is available under "Sense Settings tab > Menu > More > System".
After re-enabling ClearType, the text is really much more readable in MS applications such as EMail, Calendar, Contacts, Mobile Office, etc.
Hope this helps.
Excellent, much better; thanks!
great !!!!

Amazing! Working perfect!!!

Hi! It is possible to make even easier! Here to you a label! Simply through the file manager press a label, and receive adjustments cleartype!
wonderful solutions makes for a far better view!!
tnx so much!
A word of caution.
HD mini is one quirky WM device. If the cleartype does not bother you too much, or if it's not essential, better leave it as it is. The more you tinker with the unavailable settings, the more chances it could randomly produce unexpected behavior. Such as freeze and other stuffs.
How come the fonts on the quicklink names look so bad? Is there any way to get them to look better?

My friend has the Droid Incredible with a very similar HCT Sense home screen but the Icons and weather text looks much better. The fonts on HD2 look like they are being resized and not at their default size.
turn on cleartype
The HCT Sense home screen and or Windows Mobile has a cleartype setting? Do tell...
It already looks blurry and that's what cleartype does right? I've removed it from Windows 7 and Internet Explorer as it gives me a headache.

cleartype stops it looking pixely/grainy. works well on our screen
It can be found at
settings - menu - all settings - system - screen - cleartype tab.
if you cant find the screen settings ( i think they were off by default in the tmous rom) you can turn it on by creating the reg key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE
thats all key, there doesnt need to be any values of any type in there. If that key exists, cleartype is on.
I had just found this and it makes it look diferent but still pixely/grainy:
"By default, the cleartype has been disabled in HD2 ROM. Add this to the registry \HKLM\System\GDI\ClearType\ClearType as DWord Value is 1 '
"You can additionally enable cleartype in landscape mode by setting the following key to 0 though: HKLM/System/GDI/ClearTypeSettings/OffOnRotation '
All you have to do is go to the registry. Edit hklm\ControlPanel\Pen\ ... Change the value of hide from 1 to 0. Save and reboot the phone. Then go to settings/all settings/screen and on the Clear type tab choose enable. Reboot and you'll see the fonts the way you want to now.
That was my biggest gripe with the phone for sure.
