Hey guys,
I had a broken touchscreen in my Wizard so I replaced the whole display. Right now the touchscreen works like a charm but something is wrong with contrast...
Someone told me to re-flash the phone so that Windows installs proper drivers for the display, is that right? Or maybe the screen is not 100% compatible with my Wizard?
I'm writing this because I've seen some people here with broken screens, maybe they have some experiance in this matter. BTW if everything works out fine I will have pretty cheap full screens for this kind of phones...

What exactly is wrong with the contrast?
You may be able to correct it by adjusting the contrast settings.
In HKLM\ControlPanel\Contrast delete the redirect key (if there is one) and make a new dword called Groups with value 0 and it will put a Contrast icon in Start>Settings with a slider that lets you select from 16 settings...
Using this reg tweak I get the Contrast applet, but it doesn't work. You can move the sloder, but there is no way to apply the change, and closing out of it doesn;t save the settings. Is there something else that needs to be done? (already soft-reset plenty of times since I did this)

Doesn't work here also.
It really would be a cool applet....IF it worked (on my Qtek 2.18 Rom).
I have the same problem after replacing the LCD on my HTC Touch Cruise.
The screen seem to have wrong contrast/Brightness settings and I couldn't find a way to calibrate that.
the above twick may have a needs reg key for the value maybe?!
Same problem after installing a new lcd on my touch cruise. The HTC representative said that these are new screens not the same with the old ones.....I don't know if these is true
where did you get the new screen?

Hi there,, it seems a tricky one..
i remember when i hardreset my XdaIIi, there was a very convenient button for screen rotating juz on the lower panel of Today screen (together with bluetooth and wifi icon/button aside).
then one day i found the button simply dispeared...
i know i can purchase some third-party software which may provide screen-rotation plugin on Today....juz dun bother to do that and i believe the build-in one usua comes with the best compatibility.
some fd used to tell me that i might edit regidit to fix the problem..but i find the key value is set '1' for displaying screen rotation button on the Today panel, which means it is enabled.
i dun feel like another hardrest coz iv got many important info and soft on my XDAIIi.
Anyone knows what i can do?
Thrillions of thanks here in advance
if you try to use search you'll find more than 10 topics on this problem.
I can't choose my input method anymore. I selected the normal keyboard, and when I click te small arrow to select another method the keyboard just dissapears.
The only way to change it now is to use the program SipChange I found on this board but I would like to know how I can enable the "quick" switching again.
I looked into HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange and the value is "1"
I really don't want to hard-reset because I just spend a whole afternoon configuring my Diamond and installing apps
Good news is that it is definitely a registry issue. I had the same (arrow should activate HTC custom thumb sized menu of SIPs, but does nothing) and a simple registry restore (spb Backup) fixed it. So, no idea what registry key the issue was (also checked AllowChange first) but it's there somewhere...
Not sure what caused it tho; installed TouchPal several tiems, but when I reinstalled after fix it was all good so can't blame TouchPal just yet...
Yeah I don't have a registry backup
For now I'm using sip changer but it's not very easy so I hope I can get it fixed without hard-reset
Anyone? It's starting to get very annoying working like this
This just happend to me too One minute it worked, then it dident.
Anyone have a fix yet?

Don't believe I've changed much on my phone since it was last working correctly.
Here is an idea: a lot of people are unhappy about the fact that their G-Sensor is out of alignment, and that this may negatively affect apps which may be developed in the future (or which are already under developemnt) and which rely on the sensor for something critical. Though my device does not suffer from this, I can fully understand them!
However, today the only app which uses the sensor is Teeter, for which - frankly - this mis-alignment is not a huge issue! The reason I say this is that this app would fall outside of what I propose below...
So, here is my idea: why don't we set up a simple standard for the G-Sensor calibration, to be stored in the registry in a dedicated set of keys, and develop a quick and simple application to calibrate it and store the values in there (much like was done in BubbleLevel)?
As long as all developers here agree to use these values and stick to the standard... voila! We can all have a calibrated G-Sensor, which any future program will know how to read correctly (by correcting the values it gets with the offsets stored in the Registry to get a perfect reading).
What do you people think (especially all you developers out there)? Anyone care to volunteer a registry location and some key names?
That would be really great
that's exactly what we need...
Instead of using HTCSensorSDK.dll we could create a HTCCalibratedSensorSDK.dll (for example )
Exactly same interface, but calibrated... The developers only would have to change their dll names...
I did the day before a such dll for testing purposes, and its really simple (I even successed in 'calibrating' teeter when overwriting the original one..).
I think this is the thing we have to do...
Other inputs?

This sounds live a VERY good idea. Do I understand you correctly, that you actually have a basic version of the DLL already done???
I recently had a xda IIs before i found out that the qwerty is busted. I've searched the site and found out that theres an app which is "Fingerboard" that can be used as a keyboard aside from the default one that xda has. Now the question is that, can we install it to the BA? ive checked the thread about that and it says there that it need to match the screensize (QVGA,VGA,WVGA im not sure)And if possible I wanted to use that as my default keyboard since Im really not comfortable with using the stylus..
Thanks in advance for all your replies...
Hopefully I wont offend someone or make someone angry about my questions.
1. you are probably talking about this app:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487677
it is called fingerkeyboard 2.1 and it is great.
2. yes, you can install it to the BA, just pick the QVGA cab installer.
the screen (size/) resolution is very important for apps like this, because, it wants to bring you bigger keys, so you can control the soft keyboard with your fingers, on the other hand, it needs practically all the keys, the small soft keyboard has, without being too big, so you couldn't see the rest of the screen, hard to find a good way to do that, but fingerkeyboard2 is a good program doing all of that (in he 2.1 version). in case you were wondering, the BA's screen is QVGA, meaning 240*320, in contrast to VGA, 480*640 and WVGA 480*800.
3. i am using i as my default keyboard, too. there are different ways to set this as default, tweak programs, registry changes... but the easiest way to do so is, to install SIP change, pick fingerkeyb as default, and set the timeout to 50seconds, meaning, whenever you soft reset your device, sip change will start and set fingerkeyb as default, and after 50sec. the program quits, because then it is definitely set.
installing both apps isn't hard, just 2 cab files you copy to your device. fingerkeyb needs a bit of configuration to match your country's layout and other things like sound, vibrate, auto-correction, but it is self-expainatory, plus you will find a lot of help in that particular thread, so look it up, install it, have fun.
P.S. i forgot to mention the 2 biggest advantages: it is (in contrast to SPB keyboard) FREE & SMALL in installation size.

As expected of chef_tony!
Thanks for the quick reply and very in-depth explanation. I will try that one now. hopefully someday I can be of help to you too sir. Cheers!
I am a normal user with pretty ok hang on general computing, but I got in way above my head. I sincerely hope someone will give aid.
Originally I was just looking for a way to 1) get my "tasks" to show on the HTCs interface start screen together with calender appointments and a way to record my phonecalls.
During my search I found some tweak-pack that did lord knows what. Among other things it added the options to record phonecalls, but only in wav and on main memory though.
Unfortunately it also made manila work in landscape mode, which I dont like. It flips over everytime I tilt my phone the slightest and I see no use for it actually.
I then downloaded some registry editor and tampered with some "enable landscape" setting under local user/software/manila and changed the value to false". After rebooting my phone still tilts and I cant find the command anymore in the registry. What did I do wrong?
I even uninstalled the tweak pack, which just made the record option dissapear again but the landscape rotating persists.
I also realized that adding the command again is easier said than done. Appearntly it takes much more than just writing it as I need to insert strings, dwords and whatsnot, and I have absolutely no clue about what is what.
Now Im even worse out than before. I have no record option any more, and the manila interface is still tilting. I still havent found a tweak or app that can add tasks to the manila homescreen.
Can someone help me disable the landscape rotaing, point me to a crash course for "phone-tampering illeterals" or recommend some way to get the two sought for features? Especially the call-recording preferably to memcard and mp3 is highly needed. First priority is to stop the screen from tilting though.
Oh please.. Help me out /cry..
about the manila rottion u can disable it by using td2 tools 3 in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536410
sadly that is only what i can help
hard reset your phone and that's it

Unfortunately if you tampered with the registry and did not save a backup, you will need to hard reset to get it back.
As Mohamed stated, TD2Tools will fix your rotation issue.
As far as incall recorder, here's the cab but you'll have to search on how to configure it.
I have not used it, so I cannot verify its functionality.
**Also, please edit your title to remove profanity, as it can only be implied here.... **
Hi,
I can verify- it works.
I use it and Resco Audio Recorder (paid) to record it in format i want (MP3 too) and there i want (phone or memory card)
1. Hard Reset
2. Install a ROM which has option to record a call
Thanks for the help guys. I never tried installing roms. Is there a list somewhere and some instructions on how to do it? Is it reversable without loosing everything on your phone?
With the tools recommended earlier will fix the rotation, the worst problem is averted. I still hope for some way to get a todo-list on my main screen without the cost of uninstalling Manila. But maybe thats not possible?

Read the wiki for flashing for newbies.
It is not reversable and you will loose all your data as well as your warranty if you screw it up.
Not many have been able to flash HardSPL lately which is the precursor to flashing a ROM so good luck with that, you'll probably end up having to pay for it, but it is well worth it.
All questions about flashing should be direct to that thread for maximum exposure and make sure to search and read first before you ask.
There are options on your current ROM to install a Second Today program and toggle between Manila and 2nd Today where you can add your todo list.
Note: not every registry hack is restorable by a hard reset.
