Phone stuck on 'silent', touchscreen broke...

Hi all! My buddy has a Sprint Mogul, and his clumsy ass has dropped it one too many times! Anyhow, the display works but the screen is cracked and the touchscreen does not respond. The phone was set to 'silent' before the touchscreen crapped out, but since he cant touch on the volume to change it, its stuck on silent now! Is there anyother way the ringer can be activated, at least until he can get his hands on a new one?
Thanks!

I saw this post and got curious, so being ocd, i had to try and find an answer. hehehe
If the phone volume is turned of "Silent", go to "Comm Manager", just hit the button on the side of your phone. Use the "D Pad" to highlight the speaker icon and push down on the D pad= enter. It's now no longer on silent.
Now if you want to change the volume of the ringer without using the touch screen.
If you have a registry editor go to
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\InitVol
Changing the setting to anything from 1 to 5 will turn up the volume of the ringer.
I searched in the Windows directory for an app that would turn up the ringer volume, couldn't find anything, so i did a search in the registery for "vol" and came up with a list of things. This seemed like the most likely one to try, works good.
You can get there with a little work only using the buttons. And bob's your uncle

Unable to boot

Hi,
I am having problem that, my HTC touch HD window mobile unable to boot. I always "halt" after green window screen shown or after "Loading TouchFLow3D". Unless, I keep toucn on the screen to "activate" it, else it will just freeze, power off and unable to wake it up anymore.
Any ideas?
Please advice. Thank you

I've got the same problem before I found it's only when speaker is mute.
Try to level up the phone's volume.
Sorry for my so bad english.

Hi,
My phone volume already set to level 75%

Did you install any new program or Tweak anything beforehand?
I have got similar problem before when I Tweaked my diamond's cache usage.

Hi,
I found out that, it is caused by blacklight timeout setting. I previously adjusted to turn blacklight/power off after not use in 30secs. After I re-adjust it back to 60secs, it works fine as at now. Will try more from time to time.
Edited: The problem come back if after I power off my mobile for battery charging and start again. Any ideas?

How to turn the screen off automatically when I am in a call?

First of all, I was using PM Recorder and now I use Audio Notes Touch from VITO, to record all my phone calls. It is very useful to have the phone call recorded when somebody gives you an address, a phone number, or a name of a person, you don’t need a pen to write it down.
Now the problem: After the other person answers or you answer and the application starts recording, the backlight of the screen turns on to maximum level of intensity and it stays like this until you finish your phone call. It does not reduce the light level of intensity after a minute or so. When not using the application to record, the light is reduced to minimum level and it stays like this until I hang up. I have found a workaround to press the power button to turn off the whole screen and the light when I am in a call, but sometimes I forget and a lot of battery power is consumed during the call. I have also tried to set the backlight level both on battery and on power to minimum level, but still the recorder application is able to turn the light at maximum level, I don’t know how.
If you want to do a test, set the backlight level on battery and on power to the lowest level, and then start the Voice Commander. You will be surprised, because you will see the backlight to maximum level.
Now the question is: How can we turn the backlight off completely and automatically when in a call? I think the battery consumption is double or maybe triple when in a call and with the backlight turned on to maximum level.

Maybe using S2U2 will help you. Also look at this thread.

I have installed the application.
With the black screen option the screen is black, indeed, but the backlight is still on at maximum power.
How is it possible to put the device into standby when talking instead of black screen? Something similar when I press the power button one.
Thank you.

there is a design flaw that prevent the backlight from turning off when blanking screen..the only solution is to use the backlight controller to turn off the screen.
I am not aware of any ways to put the phone in standby when talking.
If you are using custom rom you can use built-in in-call recording if it is good enough for you

Hello keyx. I tried all the custom roms including yours, I really appreciate your work, but for me the original rom fits the best.
Audio Notes Touch and even S2U2 somehow have a method or triggers a function to detect when a conversation is started.
Is there a possibility to add a script via Mort Script, maybe, to launch the backlight controller when I am on the phone?

I have no idea you would have to try to code that yourself..

Does anybody have an idea how can I trigger a started conversation?
What function or procedure can I call to find this?
Thanks.

Finally I succeded. If anyone interested I will post my solution. Thanks for your answers.

post ahead!

I have created a script with MortScript.
While(1)
If(ProcExists("Audio Notes Touch.exe")=1)
Run("\iPAQ File Store\Program Files\Backlight Controller\WM6_612C_Backlight.lnk")
EndIf
Sleep(10000)
EndWhile

Click to collapse
WM6_612C_Backlight.lnk it is a shortcut with the /togglescreen parameter.
I have made a copy for Audio Notes Touch.exe and renamed it to Audio.exe and modified the Start Menu shortcut to point to the Audio.exe. This way I can listen to my recorded phonecalls afterwards.

Need major help with screen

I recently got a replacement Vogue only to find that for some reason, when I run Windows Media Player, I cannot turn off the screen using the power button and continue to hear music. The screen has to be on and does not turn itself off which causes major battery drainage . Does anyone have an idea?

My suggestion would be use Nitrogen, much better media player than WMP.

What you can do is change the toggle settings with a button, so the screen itself turns off with whatever button you wanted to map it with. Here's how to do it: Tools>Settings>Buttons then select Screen Toggle, then choose a button, and there ya go Now you will be able to turn the screen off while you rock on!

Alright, I decided to get both Nitrogen and attempt to fix the button settings. Nothing worked. It seems as though the phone recognizes the power button as a close application button rather than a simple sleep button. Putting the phone in sleep (pressing the power button) still turned the music off. Does anyone else have any suggestions? BTW im running WinMo 6.1. To add, I cannot recall this happening before I unlocked the phone, but I am still unsure of whether this still happened or not because I cannot remember.

Here is a way: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms838354.aspx
somewhere there is a cab for this.

here it is: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1564987&postcount=2

I installed the cab but still nothing. I also took a look at the MSDN post but I have no clue about writing C++ so... Anyone else want to give it a go?

EnterpriseNX01 what did you unlock your phone with?
Also, if I remember correctly before I switched to Android, my phone would not sleep while playing music? Or is you problem that your phone will not go to sleep at all?

I unlocked it with Cokeman's unlocker. I did get an error message that I am just remembering now, Not sure if it has anythign to do with it, but I am running windows 7 x64 and when I ran the unlocker i got an error message about something called sleep.exe. I had another post that someone told me just to ignore it and it would still unlock my phone, which it did. The phone sleeps, but does not play music while it is sleeping, or in idle (i.e. whenever i push the power button to turn the screen off).

Keep Music Playing:
All you do is install this,
and then when you have music playing in any program,
tap the power button to put in suspend mode,
and you're good to go.

2 minor issues with HD MINI:

as some of you may know, i received my HD MINI in italian language....
thanks to some help from this forum, ive been able to install BSB tweaks and now about 25% of my phone is in english..
im wondering if any of you can tell me WHERE in my phone i can set the settings for the below problems, as most of my menus are still written in italian:
1. when i set an alarm, the alarm will only ring ONCE (approx. 5 seconds), it's like the alarm ringtone sound file doesnt loop
2. i dont hear any sounds when i receive an incoming SMS message, my phone just flashes the green LED in the top corner. The phone isnt on silent mode though, because regular calls ring

hi htc_999.
the way i managed to change mine was to go to settings, then press menu and go to all settings. next (at the top) press notifications, then change the event to "message - new message" and you should be able to tick "play sound"
hope that helps

my phone is in italian, and i cannot understand all the menus fully, but im pretty sure i checked the box for sound under the subsection of "nuovo messagio" but still doesnt work

Mine is Italian as well, so the path is:
Impostazioni / Toni e display / Suoni di Notifica
The option Nuovo messagio must be in Att, and if you press there, you can select the sound you want. Also the setting Vibrazione must be either in off or att, but never in Solo.
Then check that the volume is not down or too low (with the volume rocker).
If all above is ok, it should work.

Maybe its related to similar problems i had in the past after changing the language?
Take a look at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=583878
Gr,
Codenaam
Its a HD2 topic but i worked for my Touch HD, hopefully it works for you as well.

mini HD same problems.
Well i got the mini HD in Greek language which is my language so there is no way i get messed up in the menus.
I observed the same issue with the alarm and after a lot of tries i observed that the alarm fails due to sleeping mode of the phone.The 30 sec on for display strangles the alarm ,which is working ok if the phone is connected to external power with an option of display sleeping mode longer than that with no connected to external power.
In addition to this the second issue you talk about is probably born from the same point as the sms alert works just fine when the phone is on but nothing sounds when the phone is in sleeping mode.
I have tried all in the settings but nothing .
Probably its a software problem that htc should know and fix it.
By the way have you observed a diminuated signal of your phone provider? The signal to me seems as looping from one line to four more constantly on one in an area that all the family phones get the most power signal constantly.
I have just sent an email to htc.If i got any answer i will let you know.

Solved the issues
It seems i found a way to solve the issues described above as my thought about the sleeping mode problem seems to be right.
Well a the power setting you have to choose the potion for backlight page control.Then uncheck the auto reglation of display light and let a value of 80% for both options battery and external power.Then check back the auto reglation for the back light . now you have to increase the time values using battery for decreasing light on display at 2min and turn off at 5min. use the same values for eternal power also
Then using path settings ,menu right bottom,option for more,sound and notifications,notifications , you access the page where rolling down the happening bar you get the option for new message.After some tries i can say that not all the tones are working properly.for example dont use Alarm-VeryHigh .It wont work. Try the tone Notify and check the playing option and the display message option.
With these settings the alarm should work for 2 minutes loopig normaly and the sms will sound when it comes.
Try it sending a message to yourself turning off the display by the top power button immediately after you send the message.
Hope I helped.I mstill waiting an answer to the email i sent to htc.Hope thet resolve the issues with an upgraded rom as it seems its a software problem.
By the way the clarifing sound issue you may have can be solved with the update given by htc to the official site .Dont forget to set a volume value to 80%.

All issues resolved
Hi, as i ve written before i communicated with htc ,they proposed to go to service. Afterall i had the opportunity to talk with the technician of htc who explained me how the issues would be resolved after a software upgrade.
So they did the job , upgrated my device and now works great.
One thing i am courious about is that after i got the device back i checked the official site and there is nothing there as upgrade. So by now if you have the same issues you have to go to htc service.

thanks mihan.....
i will save the trouble and wait for a update patch

The update is available now
