I just installed ".mobile contacts" from sygic.
on first load it asked if i would like to let it set my contact button to their software...
after uninstalling the program i went to the settings menu and tried to set the button back to what it was but the program screwed the menu...
now i have only the option to set the first button and not all 4 like it was
(edit: i see this screen but without all 4 buttons - only "button 1" which assigned to the camera: http://www.pocketpcfreak.com/archive/orispb7.JPG
and when i press the button it took over (contacts) it loads the pocket explorer.

Lior.

I've had that exact same thing happen to me. Anyway, I did a hard reset, cause needed it anyhow.
For u, I would recommend doing a registry import of the relevant keys from someone with a clean machine (after a HR). I'm not sure about which registry keys are responsible, though. My guess is that at least these should get exported from a clean Magician:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C1]
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2]
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C3]
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C4]
Again, I am not positive that it would be all it takes to fix your issue. You should seek additional advice from the pros. :roll:
I did a search of the forums and found 2 post without any solution to this problem. It started happening today to me and I've tried almost everything to make it work, i dont want to resort to a hard reset. Does anyone know how to solve this? My vibrate motors work fine as I just reverted back from an HTC Magic Port and my messages were vibrating perfectly fine.
Bump Still searching, found info that suggest a reboot removes this or setting the volume all the way down to silent then to vibrate would force it to fix itself. My G1 Still is not vibrating but the engine is perfectly fine because I keep testing it with a Magic Rom (H5.0.2).
Well, the obvious question is, have you gone into the messaging app and set it to vibrate?
Done all the sets already to properly troubleshoot the problem. Deleted any program having to do with calls and sms and still nothing.
Well then the only thing left is a factory reset. Once thats done make sure to go back into the messaging app and set it to vibrate.
If that doesnt fix it and you are running a rooted phone then reflash whatever firmware you are running.
An actual answer!
I had the same problem as you... i just got my phone yesterday, and I've been trying to get it to vibrate... and finally i found out how to! Go into messaging app (if a thread is open, click the MENU button press "more" then "all threads"); click the MENU button; press "settings"; at the very bottom of the list press "vibrate".
Hi guys.
I searched a lot in the forum but I didn't find something useful... my slide unlock is disappeared!!! even when the black screen is on, the slide doesn't work anymore. the sense appears automatically... even if I push the on/off button... boh
I installed some programs, like dutty taskmanager, 20 tabs and others, but not so heavy...
is there anybody able to help me?
thx a lot
have you tried a hard reset? Seems like the only thing you can do.
Assuming you are running ROM 1.48 you need to click Start>Lock and then the lock screen will work properly until the next time you do a soft reset.

Hi, does anyone know of a way to get your messages to automatically open when recieving a text, or some other visual notification for that matter? I'm new to windows mobile and I keep missing the small new message green icon!

Thank you jakem: I didn't know that after a soft reset I have to to that operation...
It works.... sometimes things are easier than they seem...
Thanks a lot!!!
I had the same issue as well after I had installed several programs. What I have noticed so far, was that after I installed Dutty's task manager, I've seen a process called 'Start'. When that was running, the lock screen didn't work. When I closed it via Dutty's task manager, the lock screen appeared automatically again! Don't know what the 'Start' process comes from though, but when closing it, it helped for me.

lock not working
install bsb tweaks and select auto lock, them when you press the hang up button/end call button the phone will then lock as it did out the box.
i had the same problem, it dissapeared after doin a few reg tweaks and istalling a few .cabs etc
I got the same problem yesterday! I made a lot of registry tweaks and cant unlock my htc with the slider anymore..
But i found my solution, the tweak for user information was it!!
I deleted all entries in user information and disabled it, and now i can unlock my htc with the slider again..

Happened to me after I installed the SMS patch from HTC. All of my settings changed. Had to do a hard reset and will forgo the SMS patch.
happened to me as well after adding and tweaking, i found that when i turned the power saving to off, on BsB Tweaks, it came back after a soft reset?

This is true for me aswell. I to did alot of tweaking and such, wich made my slider non functional. I then did a ROM upgrade, and did all the tweaking I had done before, only to find out it was Owner Information that was the sinner.
Wich I got from here: [REF] *Leo Hints & Tips* Under HTC Leo: HD2 > HD2 General section. 5. Enable Hidden Owner Info in All Settings\Personal Folder
Go to HKLM\ControlPanel\Owner and change Hide from 1 to 0 and then reset. You can now enter your name you want to register old apps.
I unticked show Owner Information, and the slider unlocks my phone again. But anyways, is there anyone who know if it's possible to get this to work, with Owner Information shown at wakeup AND the slider actually unlocking my phone?
Damn I just ran into this. Enabled show owner info and notes at startup, now slider unlock doesn't unlock to get into the screen. No way to get into the phone unless a hard reset?
am using my US Tmobile HD2 tonight and a blank Screen came um couldnt get to Home Screen.. and no buttons worked so i removed the battery then restart the phone it ask me for my pass word.. i try typing my password it keep saying "incorrect password" dang this sucks!
and when i hhit unlock nothing happens most of the times
hi there,
1. i notice that since my S5 which had LP installed, on S7e i cant use the menu button for menu actions cause it is always forces the recent app screen, when i use xda app on my S7e i cant seem to reply or add a new message because isted of showing me the menu of the thread if i press menu button it goes to recent or if i try to press a little longer it give me a notice that xda app does not support multy window.
no matter what i try i cant seem to use the button as menu. and i cant seem to find in settings how to turn it off or at least turn of multy window which will probably will help to use menu button as menu.
/ found a solution for that problem....its called multy window toggle for samsung from play store. stops the annoying multy window.
for the google now that keeps popping on home button just need to uninstall google app and force it to factory app and it wont pop by pressing home button.
2. also on my older S5 with LP i had the option to share media with my ADB streamer via nearby devices in the settings menu. once i open the nearby devices i had few option on which file to share and to which device. but now in the S7e i have the nearby devices but i cant seem to share media with my streamer no more, plus i dont see any option to share media except the on off button and small explanation text about the nearby thing.
for this issue i still didnt find any solution.
both S5 and S7e are stock, my S5 is rooted tho.
can anyone enlighten me about this. maybe i just missed something about both issues ?
thanks for helpers

Im so stupid i didnt notice that option. Works like a charm...on xda app. Thanks. Saved my day with this
Now just to find whats wrong with that issue sharing media to my streamer....
Sent from my SM-G935F
A few days ago, I noticed that my home key and recent apps buttons on my S7 Edge stopped working. I was able to fix that with a simple reset a few times, but not any more, as both the Home Key and Recent Apps button no longer work at all. The only one that works is the back button.
I've searched the problem and have tried things from deleting recently installed apps to attempting to reboot in safe mode, but nothing has worked. Here is some more information about this problem, and other weird things my phone has been doing:
- I can seem to properly restart into safe mode. When I reboot with the safe mode button sequence, the words "safe mode" appear on the bottom left, until I am prompted to enter my password, and then they disappear.
- A lot of things in the Settings menu appear to be locked, so I can't change them. For example, I cant uninstall apps from the application manager anymore (the uninstall button does nothing). I can no longer change the "lock automatically" setting under lock screen and security>secure lock settings, as the only option is for the phone to lock immediately.
- I even tried a temp solution of downloading apps which allow for button overlays on the screen (e.g, Simple Control) , but itwont work because the phone won't let me turn the "service" on under Settings>Accessibility. When I try to turn the service for the app on, it says "Simple Control and secure startup can't be enable at the same time". However, if I got to Lock Screen and Security > Secure Startup, I am unable to change the option to "do not require password when device powers on". This may because my phone has an enterprise app on it which overrides certain security requirements.
- not rooted or anything like that
Any help would be appreciated.

Yes that is probably the cause of your problems. Has it recently updated? Ask the developer of that app...
