WM5 keylock - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I read on a wm5 review somewhere that the os includes a special keylock option that shows up at the same place as the bluetooth icon on the today screen, that would make the ppc work like a phone, i.e. no key can be pressed when the ppc is on or off unless a combination of keys are pressed. I can't find it in the ba wm5 rom and i'm wondering if anyone found it, or is able to get it in a cab or something. Thanks

How do I lock the buttons?
I just upgraded to WM 5, and now can't seem to find how to lock the buttons when I switch off the device, as a result of which my XDA keeps turning on whenever I accidently hit a button. Anyone knows better?

Found the answer!!
Ok folks, I found the answer. It's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27614&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Mamaich has answered it as follows:
"I'll copy here the other my post.
The main reason for battery draining in my case was that buttons are not locked when the phone is turned off. So it constantly turns on when it is in pocket. To fix this - take following files from 1.40 ROM:
Backlight.exe
ButtonLock.exe
CSDType.exe
DIM.exe
Keyboard.exe
MicrophoneAGC.exe
WLanMgr.exe
MyCPL.cpl
and copy to \Windows folder on your device. Windows would cry that files are unsigned - say "yes", then reboot. You'll be able to turn keyboard backlight off, lock buttons, change GPRS class, but you cannot change brightness. The sliders are ignored. They are ignored even if you'll take driver from the WM2003 OS.

Many thanks Mamaich!!

How to skip 'align screen' after ROM update

I am familiar with flashing ROMs. After flashing NBD 8.0, I managed to drop the phone to the ground just as the device was resetting. The touchscreen is cracked. I now can't get past the align screen program. Though the crack is at the bottom right of the screen, I have problems with the pointer on the top right; after some futile clicks there, at the best align screen starts from the beginning.
Obviously any number of resets doesn't help as the align screen is the first thing to come up.
Is there anything that I can do? It is not trivial for me to get the touch screen fixed in the next 10 days.
Edit: For once, I found the solution outside this forum. The solution was to somehow to get activesync work, and then use it to remove the welcome shortcut in windows\startup. This made the align screen program (and may be something else too) not appear during the initial bootup. Touchscreen is pretty much dysfunctional now; but I at least have the phone working.

I found this some time ago, I never used it but you may want to give it a try.

I have the same problem, and i have no idea to figure it out .... maybe it is only bug in NBD v8.0 for few devices .... so we could contact autor directly this version of ROM and ask him ... because i dont know ....
Skip Align Screen
I can confirm that the program works.
BUT the touch screen becomes unusable!!!!
Mine's broken so it won't make a diff.
My touchscreen had a crack only at the bottom. After skipping the 'align screen' during initial ROM load, I lived with a non-functional touch screen for a day or two. I then remembered the post from equinoxe that had registry settings for his phone. I took those settings and updated my registry. I now have a decent touch screen - at least the top 3/4 works fine.
The key and settings are:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1922,1957 3330,639 3317,3276 600,3230 609,677 "
I could surmise that the screen is being treated as a square of 3900 x 3900 dots. 0,0 seems to be the top, right corner.

I asked the same question awhile back and pretty much got no useful response. It's actually easy. All you have to do is to put a file in the root of your mini-sd card named welcome.not and the system will skip the alignment stuff (and presumably all that crap with moving the appt and stuff too).
mate .... im using your advice to remove the windows shortcut on windows/startup .. but i cannot proceed ... a warning appeared after my attempt to delete the file :
-----------------------------------------------------
Error Deleting File
Cannot delete file Welcome : Access is denied .
Make sure your mobile device has sufficient memory, that the file is not set as read-only, and that you have permission to copy this file type .
-----------------------------------------------------
that is the exclamation .. is this because the file is a read only ?? how can i change the file permission ??
thx b 4 mate ...

Same problem with me, even with the welcome.exe, so that's not gooing to cut... my next attempt is the registry tweak, i'll create the reg file and put it to SD, every time the alignment is messed up, re run the reg and soft reset
Little update
I've been toying with my k-jam trying to find a solution, i'm writing this as the process is being done.
So i installed and ran the remote remote screen alignment tool mentioned above (attached for simplicity) I only used the first option in the software (you'll see, you wouldn't need the other 2, unless you have working screen alignment)
At least, now I know that after a flash, the phone will work, the screen iffy but... we're in!
I'm trying the registry tweak now, looking for a registry editor for PPC.
OK. PHM RegEdit will do for now, installing
I'm using the regedit because i'm not sure what's the RegistryEditorVersion for WM6, hopefully PHM will lock the settings in
I've manually changed the calibrationdata numbers with great difficulty, soft reset and now the screen is beyond effed up... tapping start goes to calendar..
tapping calendar opens contacts...
Ok just for the sake of curiosity, checked regedit again to find another set of calibration numbers, re-entered the numbers from the post above. This time the numbers remained. No soft reset, just shut down the wizard and turned it back on.. i've regained much of the touch but now i believe it's the digitizer to blame.... will open up the wizard and keep u posted.
So as far as my experiences go for this, software-wise, definitely a success with the calib data given. hardware-wise to be determined..
HTH
Edit: can't attach the remote tool so here's the link

Thank you !!!
thank you so much, it worked with no problem...
hehe
maybe i have a solution too
i had a broken screen too but still could enter my device by using SOTI
http://www.soti.net/default.asp?Cmd=Products&SubCmd=PCPro
after a while the battery drained and when i reconnected it it did a hard reset
i got stuck at the align screen too
but soti already installed on my device even it didnt setup yet
soti has this task manager and i fooled around with closing some threads, i dont know wich ones exactly
anyway i could pass the align screen that way
i have lg ks20 how to skip align screan
the welcome.not function works perfectley...
a blank note pad file saved as "welcome.not" change save as type from text document to all files, then i put it in the root of the sd card and the internel momory...
to sum up:
to skip the align screen:
create a blank file with notepad and rename it to welcome.not
place it into root folder of the internal memory of your phone and soft reset
worked like a charm on touch pro

Calibration data
I tried the registry value but, no success.
Could someone provide Screen calibration data from properly aligned Wizard.
it can be found here
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData" =
Thanks
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1903,1948 3181,636 3187,3240 607,3242 592,648"
A little extra info on my Cingular 8125 device with Mfrazzz's Windows Mobile 6.0 ROM.
My original problem was no touch functionality in the top 1/5 of the screen.
I did a system hard reset and was stuck in the Align loop.
I used Windows 7 Mobile Device center to access the device.
I used the SD card welcome.not to bypass the Align, but the xy of the touch point was WAY off, perhaps 20% of screen.
I tried to edit the registry using the reg editor installed in the ROM but could not navigate well enough using the D-pad keys and hardware keyboard.
I installed CeRegEditor on my Win7x64 machine, connected using W7MDC and then connected with CeRegEditor. I edited the coordinates
I installed CeRegEditor and updated the key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH]
"CalibrationData"="1922,1957 3330,639 3317,3276 600,3230 609,677 "
The alignment was still way off and the Screen Alignment app would still get stuck.
Then I changed the MaxError key value from 16 to 4000.
Bingo! After a reboot the next alignment was accurate and I can now use the touch screen normally.
I believe the screen calibration error was outside the maximum causing the Align loop.
Post if you find this useful.
Good luck!

First Post / KeyLock

Hey everybody! This is my first post on the xda-developers forums and I thought I'd make it a useful one. I attached the first WinMo6 application I made for my Tilt. It's a program which locks your keypad with the standard PIN prompt and quits. It's use? Lock your phone and set it to standby with two keys and no stylus.
Reason I wrote it? The second day I got the Tilt I found that the concept of being unable to lock the phone without the stylus confused and infuriated me.
Here's how you use it:
1. Download the .Zip file to your computer.
2. Extract the contents and copy the contained .Exe to your phone
3. Use jgermuga's PTT remap instructions found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1577293&postcount=12
4. For the \HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C7 key set the (Default) value to "\Path\To\KeyLock.exe" (Obviously replace \Path\To\ with the appropriate path, mine was "\Temp\")
5. Also add a string called ResetCmd with the same value.
I used "MobileRegistryEditor" to edit the registry on my Tilt. Also included in the .Zip is the source code in case you want to compile from source, audit the code, or just don't trust me. Compile it yourself if you wish.
With the above steps you can have a simple method to lock and standby your phone: Hold down the PTT talk button for just about 1 second then quickly tap your power button. As soon as the application begins launching your phone is already being locked so you do not have to wait for it to display anything other than the spinning "please wait" wheel. Power it off right away.
This has made my life significantly easier, and I hope it helps yours!
Enjoy
-Anthony
Hmmm, doesn't seem to be working to well for me.
I orginally had setup up the 40C7 to open my "File Manager" (which worked fine)
SO I reset the value to "\Program Files\KeyLock.exe" where I had placed the file.
I ran the program.. it asked me if it was ok to run I told it yes... Scratched my head for a minute wondering what happened.. Went back to the post realized I missed step 5 "5. Also add a string called ResetCmd with the same value."
So I created a new string ResetCmd with the Value "\Program Files\KeyLock.exe" restarted the phone.. when I press the button now the loading thing comes up and the screen seems like it either flashes or flickers.. and nothing happens..
Than tried reseting the phone by pressing the little button at the bottom, after it booted up still no luck.
Let me know your thoughts... ( I used mobile registry editor as well )
What language is this programmed in, I'll just get the software from my work and see if I can play with it a bit...
OH and FYI running AT&T's Stock loaded Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
or you can download devicelock1.2, and map it to one of your hardware buttons. pretty much uses the built in device lock, but it makes it available so you can map it to a button, thus no need to use stylus to lock.
no need to unzip, just drag the file into your phone and install.

Where would I get this?
^ i updated my post, its attached now.
Ty, I ended up searching the forums for it and found it. I'll give it shot and post back in a few.
Thanks Device Lock 1.2 Works Like a Champ. TYVM for your help sir.
Hmm whats the deal with the beeping noise right before it initates the locking?
(I take it back, I like the beeping noise..)
Whats the deal with if you have it on EASY unlock. and Black Screen
When you hold down PPT to have it lock... then after it the screen goes black you press ppt again... Your easy lock is than disabled?
(I should probably post this in the Device Lock 1.2 orignal thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305402&highlight=device+lock)
I'm honestly unsure why it would not lock your device although I did set up a numeric PIN for my device which it prompts me to enter. Try running the .exe from the Program Files directory if you're still interested. If it doesn't lock your phone then I'm unsure why.

Yea I had tried that too. But the Device Lock 1.2 seemed to have solved my problem. Thanks though.
Hi:
Sorry if this is a dumb question. When you use DeviceLock, do you still have to press the power button to wake up screen before unlocking? I hate that power button, it is too hard for me to find sometimes lol.
Thanks!

when you use device lock, it will lock your phone and dim it, not turn off the screen. so you do not need to press the power button to wake it up before unlocking.
there are options in the settings that will let you turn off the screen when you lock, but i dont think that is what you want. leave that setting unchecked.

Unresolved Tilt Issues (Please Contribute)

Ongoing issues that need to be resolved - If you respond to any of these before you write any response PLEASE put the issue number at the top of your post, because this thread is going to get very large fast and this will help keep it somewhat organized, thanks.
#1: I have tried everything but can dump the time & battery icon off the title bar without alignment problems. Anybody find a key yet? Are we stuck creating new icon templates in black to save us from the alignment issue? Or has someone found a key to compensate the alingment loss from removing both time & battery status icons?
#2:Does Video Share work on the Tilt if you have an HTC ROM on it and are connecting with a Video Share enabled phone? (obviously this will only be applicable for people who live in the selected 3G networks for which Video Share is supported)
#3:When I make/recieve a call, and I try to access the top bar (start button) the top bar locks up. if I try a shortcut button to IE for example, IE loads but just says connecting... if I hangup the call, it redoes the 3G connection (it was 3G before I was on the call) and the IE works.
BUT the top bar is locked up. Start/3G icon, etc doesn't click. Only the "X" will work until I do a reboot.
#4
The "Buttons" setting only allows me to change the short press settings for 5 buttons. Elsewhere on this forum, there are instructions for adding the PTT button for both short press and long press, by adding registry keys 40C6 and 40C7. Can I add long press entries for other buttons?
Update!: According to HTC support, this is currently impossible. Sorry. (thanks deathace)
Update #2: Vito Button Mapper also enables push and hold functionality for the standard buttons (not PTT button) using the Start, Settings, Button Mapper. Also allows for customization of the soft buttons based on running application. Got to say that while Vito Button Mapper works, it's not that WM6 Pro friendly. In other words it works, but has some issues with icon display and uninstall. Hopefully HTC support will get their act together. (thanks Jim_R)
Update #3: Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 also allows for remapping of keys w/hold functionality, including PTT and works with WM6 (thanks _Alex_)
#5
Is there a way to choose radio frequency besides using Bandswitch? Meaning the setting would show up in the Phone Settings menu that allows Band Selection. Perhaps there are some registry edits out there?
Here is a cab file that replaces "PhoneSettings.Dll" with the one from the Rogers Canada Tilt Rom. and enables the Band Tab. You will be required to reset your phone after installation.
#6
There have been issues regarding connecting to WEP encrypted networks...if anyone else knows of these issues and a possible fix, please contribute...whitelisting the MAC address on the router has already been attempted (and failed).
This post has been moved and temporarily stickied.
Please be sure to visit the Wiki. Most of your questions can be answered there regarding the Tilt.
The previous thread, "The thread to address ALL TILT-specific questions" has been unstuck, but can still be used if required.
Have fun!
HTC steaming media seems to work on the TyTN II but not the tilt. of all the posts that I've read, and googled, only 1 person has said that their tilt works with streaming media is working, but not fully with every site, just a few. TCPMP with ytpocket seems to be the closest thing to a band aid. but this ony gets you youtube, not the other sites that work on a TyTN II with HTC SM.

Okay, Here's the deal. HTC streaming media is for RTSP files only. That means Pocket YouTube. Yes it works in the US, but you have to have the correct ID/User Agent for it to work correctly. Basically the Streaming Media Player is a license of Real Player. All stock Tilt have an EXE called Real.exe in windows directory. If you open it, it's the same as Streaming Media Player, Has the same Icon as Real Player, & the about screen calls it HTC Real Player.

errrrrr. If you flash the identical ROM on a TyTN II and a Tilt, how are the files in the windows directory any different?
I think you misread what I typed.
OK, after serching in many forums, i found that the problem is:
"When the device is protected by a password (Start/Settings/Lock), the start menu freezes after ending phone calls. In addition, the backlight turns off.
This only happens if the phone call is long enough (more than a few secs) for the display to turn off during the call. This is to prevent accidental button presses. When the phone call is ended the display should come back up, however, this is where bug seems to manifest itself. Somehow the password protection gets in the way and turns the display off and freezes the start menu.
The reason why this is serious (especially for business users) is that when you use MS exchange sync, many businesses enforce policies requiring a device password (common & recommended practice). This means that the option of turning the device password off does not exist. Therefore, using exchange sync (with security policies enforced) and making phone calls does not work."
So, acording to this, there are two solutions:
1º Sinple turn of pasword protection if you don't need it;
2º (found in modaco) Change a registry entry:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplay DuringCall
From "1" to "0" will stop it but be warned if you arent using a headset then the touch sensitive screen will be in operation throughout the call so you may end up with your ear triggering applications etc...

HTC Kaiser QuickGPS Fix (Error solution)
Just import this .reg file into your Kaiser registry:

Nasty Camera
My phone works ok I guess and I am pleased with it. But I miss not being able to take photos with it. I used my TYTN all the time primarily as a mobile video station and a camera. But this KAISER is a complete mess when it comes to taking photos.
My point is, can someone tell me how to turn off the auto focus is thats the problem or does anyone have any idea how to speed up the lens to capture time. It takes forever to set its focus. Oh, and don't start me on video capture as that IS the joke of the century.
I can't believe what a step back this KAISER is in comparison to its older brother the TYTN. I expected this phone to at least take a moderate picture. Why on earth is the 2nd camera better (VGA) than the 3MP main camera. It is completely crazy.
I digress and am off to cry now.
Hi all,
may I know if anyone had face this problem. Whenever we receive an SMS, it pops up as a notification at the bottom of the screen. But the notification normally have 2 options: Normally, reply/view on the left and menu on the right. For the left option, sometimes it is "reply" and sometimes it is "view". Is this normal? How can I change it to permanently as "view" only?
Thanks all in advance.

Hi eRic,
It is shown as "Reply" when your message fits the dialog box notification neatly. If it doesn't "View" is shown for you to read the full message. Hope this helps.
Hey, actually I have a problem synchronizing. I have been told that if a Kaiser is connected to a PC through Activesync, then the Kaiser could use the PC's Internet connection. And I think that is great, except mine won't. Instead my PC will try to use my Kaiser as a modem, even though it is already connected.... What can I do?

DoubleLauncher also includes similar functionality, but with even more options:
single tap, double tap, single hold, double hold, triple tap - 5 combinations per button - HTC may be right that it isn't possible with vanilla windows, but it is obviously possible to code something.
wifi vs AT&T
Sorry for asking a question that I am sure was already addressed (unfortunately I cannot find it).
How do I instruct my AT&T Tilt (Kaiser) to try to connect using WiFi when it is present rather then connect using AT&T GPRS, 3G whatever?
When I bought my phone in October, I got advice from Howard Forum to go to your site (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...22&d=1191864241) to get a cab file. I did that, and it worked.
I had to replace my phone which was defective, and now I wanted to get the same cab file for the new phone but the link no longer works.
Your advice and help will be very much appreciated. If you prefer you can send me a private message to [email protected].
upgrade??
I was this close to jumping from the 8525 to the 8925 but advised not too: ATT rep says there are software and hardware issues that they are working on with HTC and IT guys say they've had issues as well.
What's the consensus here? is it worth the risk or should I wait a while longer for things to iron out?

Well, the Video Rendering sucks. All in all though, I have to say I really like the device. It's okay out of the box, but after tinkering & tweaking I have to say that I'm glad I moved to the Kaiser. The GPS is solid for me & after changing my DNS settings to OpenDNS the internet is fast. I tether a lot & get great speed on my laptop (when in HSPDA or 3G). Yess, there are some issues, but I think it's the best device around. I've had no problems with my Tilt or my TYTN II. It works really well with our Blackberry server & I get my emails fater on my device than on my pc.
The only issue for me again is the video. But it's mostly a work device for me, so vide isn't a big deal. Besides TCPMP playback is good enough for catching up on my missed episodes of House MD.
I'd say go for it.
Hi all,
I wonder if this is even consider a problem or bug. At the Today screen, there will be times when you are overflow with schedules. Then a scroll bar will appear at the right most of the screen(as shown below left). The scroll bar stretch all the way from the top of the screen to the bottom of the screen. Is it possible to change it to such a way that the scroll bar starts from the bottom of the Today plug-in to the bottom of the screen(as shown bottom right). Please kindly advice if this can be done.
Thanx
Cheers

You can use HHC (home plug-in config) to lock the home plug in. Then the scroll is just at the bottom. There is a registry setting to do the same thing, but I don't know what it is. The HHC is a great utility as you can back up the plug in and change the fonts and icons too.
OpenDNS
GSLEON, where does one change DNS settings to the OpenDNS settings? Thanks.
What can I do???
Hello all,
I am on my second Tilt now (on AT&T network) but I am still having voice clarity issues. Very choppy conversations at times, even when connected to a landline, but there are always at least 2 signal bars & 3G displayed. I have tried to disable the data before making calls, but so far I have seen no improvement. Could Active sync have something to do W/ my problem? It always seems to be running. Also, I am using the stock AT&T rom.
Any input provided pertaining to my issue is greatly appreciated.

Simple Device Lock Fix

I was looking around the forums over the weekend at the Device Lock threads because the DeviceLock.cab file does not work properly on a Kaiser running WM 6.1. All I really could find was discussion about launching S2U2 and VJ555's Device Lock.
I belive I have found the solution to get the plain DeviceLock (not VJ555's) working. It is a syntax issue. Here is what I did to fix it.
1. Install MemMaid or any other app that allows you to view/edit your notification que.
2. Find the notification that says "Program Files/Lock/DeviceLock.exe"
When: The device woke up.
Argument: AppRunAfterWakeup
3.Notice the quotation marks around this and only this notification. OK now delete the notification.
4. Create a notification that says the same things, only minus the quotation marks.
5. Soft reset, and enjoy.
I hope that helps. My fix restores basic funcionality to the Device Lock on wakeup behavior. The screen still doesn't dim properly when locked... But at least it locks again.

Phonecall > Wake Up > Password Problem

Hi all,
I'm not sure how to best describe this problem.
I'll explain it in stages...
1) I receive a phone call
2) The device wakes up and lets me answer the call
3) The device lets me hang up the call
BUT
Then the phone becomes unusable - the screen responds to my touch, you can open menu's but you cant select anything - nothing will happen. Some buttons dont work. E.g. you can create a new text message but the keyboard wont type anything even though you can press the key buttons.
I don't know but suspect it might have something to do with the fact that from the phone being in standby, the I have to do the following:
1) Tap power button to wake device
2) Presented with the owner information + notes
3) Tap this to move to the password screen
4) Type in password to access device functions
If the phone rings, obviously you don't have to enter a password - so perhaps the phone is getting confused?
ROM is Dutty's 2.7
Any help/explanation much appreciated!

I think you'd get more help if you posted in the right forum?
I posted it here because I thought it might be something to do with the ROM rather than the phone?
If it's best suited elsewhere then would a mod kindly move the topic?
Many Thanks
Chris
