First thanks for your post on foro all people, but nothing can help me, i have htc p3600 orange, i make all thinks and htc is free now and super cid md, thanks to forum, , and i changed all on the registry values and gps follow the way of forum,is visible but not detected for any program, what can be the problem?
In the registry oh gps settings I make a nem dword called group with value 2, and I have to another option called “default” with value “2”, is correct? I must change more thing on the registry? .
The gps dons is detection with nothing but I can see oh setting configuration, and conections configuration
I don’t know what can i do, can you send me your configuration or tell me what is bad?
Many thanks! I am unhappy.. i try..but any is bad, and i cant activate detection, i only can see.. i try with all version of tontom and mio map v.3.2
i am sure there is any problem on registry configuration or any ports can make it activate, ..
HELP ME !

My understanding is that you need to make the following registry changes in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
"Hide"=dword=0
"Group"=dword=2
I know nothing regarding a "default" value.

please remember that you have to set the nav-software to the same com port that you have set in the GPS Control Panel, it is usually com port 9.

Nobody Undestand! Jej, I Have All Ok Configuration But Gps Is Visible But Not Rum In Any Program Tomtom Or Mio Map, I Put All Configuration How Say On This Forums, I Have All Okey, But Gps Dont Run, Only Is Visible, Can Any Send Me The Registry? There Is A Option When You Are On Edit Register Of Export, If Any Send Me I Can Import And Try, I Believe There Is Any Problem With Gps On The Pocket Because I Have All Perfect Configure, Can Any Send Me That?
Does your rom support gps? If you have gps you don´t have to change anything in the registry, those changes are only to see the gps menu.
cheers
Perhaps chewyrukas is saying that the gps does not appear to work. I can tell you that in Manhattan, the built-in GPS is virtually worthless; I can only get a fix under ideal conditions. My Fortuna bletooth GPS runs much better. It is disappointing that the GPS in the Trinity is such a lightweight.

i dont know what can i do! for gps be detected, i need a registry import of any for test, thanks!
Installing Rom Warning
Hello I Was Intalling Mi Rom Update And My Cable Was Disconect And Now I Can Reinstall, What Can I Do? Thanks

Ok I have searched and not run across anything without reading every thread in here.
How do I change my default input method from keyboard to letter recognizer and MAKE it stick.
I change it i the input menu and reg edits but every time I soft reset it is back.
...we're on the same boat :?
Join the club!
I'm after the phone pad so I can still use the 8125/Wiz screen as a normal phone keypad at times and not have to whip out the stylus.
whatever you do, dont use registry wizard to set it... I white screened a week ago doing that, hard reset
hope to find a solution
Perhaps this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP
DefaultIM {42429667-.... or one of the others {42429690- {42429691-
Look in the neighborhoud HKCR\CLSID\{424296...... for the others.
Cheers
edit: In case it wasn't clear you need to fill in the whole CLSID in the DefaultIM string value. So {42429667- including the } at the end.
It should work after a soft reset (gone with a hard reset)
Any Solutions to this yet?
Thanks

I'm on a Charmer, I used to able to change the Letter Reg SIP as default before I upgraded my ROM. I thought I'm the only one.
i'm triing to change the reg value with total commander and with wizard reg but after a restart the phone hang on white screen... someone can help me?
i want to use nullkb as default probably is not possible?

yes but i make a hard reset after the first try (manually change registry with tcmd) and i try in another way...white screen in every try
lost in translation...
I was saying that if you TRY to use registry wizard to set it, you will get a white screen, and be left having to HARD RESET....
Not the best solution, but perhaps you could use my program SwitchSip to change the SIP on every soft reset. I don't know if it'll stick though, I've never tried...

I think we've all tried the method. Read the posts above carefully.
Just as a problem recap: the default SIP reghack no longer works on AKU2 ROMS. The kbd default occurs after a soft reset no matter what you have changed the registry value to.
I'm working on this one too. I coded up a program that quickly set the SIP to block recognizer and exited figuring I could just add it to the startup programs folder to switch over after a soft reset.
However, while this program works just great normally, it doesn't change the SIP when run at startup. I am working on why this is, currently. So far I've determined that my program is able to find the block recognizer SIP so the SIP dll is loaded. Tomorrow I may get a few more minutes to work on it. I'll code my program to check to see if it correctly set the SIP to block recognizer and re-attempt to change until it's successful. I'm guessing that this will have no effect on the issue since my current working theory is that the kbd default is set sometime after the startup programs run.
Guys, I don't know whether my app worked or not, but this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=317635#317635
seems to suggest it did. I don't have a wizard to test it on though
V
@vijay555:
I've got my little app set up on my today screen so I can just tap it quickly after everything's loaded to change my sip but it won't work if I drop it into my startup folder.
Perhaps this is what the poster you refer to is doing? Does your program check the default SIP using SipGetCurrentIM after you switch to see if the operation worked? Or do you just check for an error code after calling SipSetCurrentIM. Me, I'm just checking for an error currently and am not getting one.
Sleuth255: I really can't remember how I did it, I wrote it in c++ before I could program in c++, somehow. I'm on a promise to rewrite it sometime, and turn it into VJSipSwitch, for now it's merely a bastard child.
However, despite this, it's also designed to be configured as a shortcut to be launched from a hardware key or shortcut... if it becomes an issue, I'll look over the code again.

I installed open touch 2.4 and LOVE IT.. it makes windows mobile so much useful..
one thing i found problamatic was the bluetooth profile. The problem is when I press the call button on my bluetooth headset it doesn't trigger the voice speed dial. It just launches the dialler which shows the keypad.
That kind of defeats the purpose of 'hands free' if I need to press the voice speed dial on the phone and then use the headset.
Any solution ? Or any other package I can install to get the full functionality of voice speed dial with bluetooth.
I have the same problem, and it effects the ability for me to use MS Voice Command. I wish someone would help, but I made a post about this and got no replies.

I'm working on v2.5 and will try to resolve this issue if possible.
I need more details as to what is happening.
Also,
I did not see any of this nature posted in the original v2.2 post.

Just to cover all basis, did you setup the button 5 options?
Remember that I left the 5th button free for people to choose either voice record or voice speed dial.
Going forward, please do not create new post, instead post your issues in the original thread.
Thanks,
I'm pretty sure that what your dealing with is a registry problem. When i switched to touchit 2.3 i had to reconfig to the following:
1 Use registry editor to edit the following entries on your Wing:
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A udioGateway\, Modify Value data: OEMAGEX.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\, Add DWord Value: LaunchAPEnable, Value Data: 1
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\, Add DWord Value: VoiceCmdEnable",Value Data: 0
2. Wait about 30 sec, then soft-reset
Try it and let me know how it goes. I dont get credit for this it is from a previous post. This did work for me tho. I can prompt the voice speed dial from the bluetooth.

Thanks ttran for responding. I have great respect for you for putting together this great ROM.
The issue is..
I am pairing my bluetooth headset (motorola h850) with the phone. After paring, if I press the call button on my bluetooth, it is supposed to invoke the voice dial app in the phone and call the voice tag I spoke. However it just brings the phone dialler screen and does nothing.
My diagnosis
For an incoming call (when paired), I can pickup the call using bluetooth headphone's button. So I know bluetooth instrument is working.
Secondly when I directly invoke voice speed dial from phone (i mapped a hardware button to voice speed dial) it works fine too.
Only problem is I can not invoke voice speed dial from bluetooth headset.
Do not confuse this issue with the hardware button mapping since I am trying to invoke voice speed dial from bluetooth headset (not from hardware button on phone. that works fine)
Please let me know if you need any futher information. I will happy to provide any additional details.
BTW thanks again for putting together such a great ROM.
Hi,
Thanks for clearing that up.
Please try what mrmikemcguire posted:
1 Use registry editor to edit the following entries on your Wing:
Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A udioGateway\, Modify Value data: OEMAGEX.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll

Under: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\, Add DWord Value: VoiceCmdEnable",Value Data: 0
2. Wait about 30 sec, then soft-reset
And let us know if it works for you, I don't use blue tooth so I can not test it for you.
Also,
Let me know if it fixes your issue so that I can add it to the next release.
Thanks folks,
sorry didn't work for me..
Ok.... First, thank you mrmikemiguire . Now hoolahoous .. did we make progress? The Audio gateway should be opening now... Verify that the registry modifications are correct in your device, then power cycle..... there may be another piece to the puzzle but those changes should work.
Edit: Final piece... Verify HKLM,"SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand "Path" = \Windows\SDDialer.exe
Okay.. thanks for everyone's help.. I finally got it to work... One thing incorrect in above settings was
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A udioGateway\, Modify Value data: OEMAGEX.dll to BTAGExtModule.dll
the default entry was VCBTHAG.DLL not OEMAGEX.dll , I missed that..
however when I changed VCBTHAG.DLL to BTAGExtModule.dll , it started working..
ttran001, maybe you can include these entries in 2.5.
I know you are not planning to include voice speed dial or voice command in 2.5, I personally feel that you should include atleast one of them. My vote would be voice speed dial since it works for everyone but voice command works only for subset of people. When I say work, I mean software being able to recognize what a person is saying.
but thanks to everyone including mrmikemcguire to get it to work for me.

Hi,
That reg fix has been added to v2.5 and yes Voice speed dial is included but not voice command since it takes about 4mb of space.

I am using 2.5 slim and cannot get audio from realplayer, skype, etc.
I push the button and all I get is some wrong application, try again later errors....
Please help.
It all worked perfectly with the Clean ROM so may be someone with know-how can look at the registry differences between them and tell me if this is fixable, or i have to install the clean again...
Thank You!

Is this with bluetooth or the actual headset, or headphones?
And is anybody else having this issue?
Yes, BT.
Sorry i didn't mention this important detail.
A lot of people here have problems with their windows 6.1 and GPS. It seems some people have more problems than others, but someone on this forum has found a registry setting which solves my problem. At least until I soft reset my device, this causes the registry setting to go back to standard.
I’m talking about this post:
mavado said:
This solution helped for me:
The problem was in the registry of QuickGPS.
I changed the region settings of my PPC to Dutch, but QuickGPS doesn’t get this settings. So I assume it’s downloading the wrong GPS information.
After I changed the following registry setting I had a fix almost immediately :
[HKLM] - Software\HTC\QuickGPS\region changed from -- to NL
After using GPS Test I got a fix very fast.
Using:
Kaiser
OS DCS 1.4 WM6.1
R 1.64.06.04

Believe it or not but this works for me as I live in Holland but I think this could work for everyone who has problems regarding 6.1 and GPS no matter what radio you use. All we have to find out what the region codes are.
But this is a temporary fix, as I said soft-reset causes the setting to jump back to ‘--’ again and GPS is very slow whit the fix. Is it possible to create some sort of cab file or setting to set the region setting in the registry to user settings at reboot or wake-up? Or is altering QuickGPS also possible? If someone could point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

After thinking about this on my way to work, I came across the fact that since I use KaiserTweak it will set the default QuickGPS settings back, which of course has its region set to "--". So i'm assuming that's why when you reset your phone thats why it resets your settings again

Then I will look into the kaisertweak’s XML file and try to remove the QuickGPS settings and see if it works. Will keep you guys updated.
edit: Okay, this does not make any difference. So we have to find a way to set the user setting on every wake-up or boot. Does anyone know how to do this?

QuickGPS runs as a service (a very annoying one if you don't disable the audio & popup and vibrate notification immediately ).
Have you killed QuickGPS via task manager before editing the registry and then soft resetting? (I use dotfred's, best task manager + utils proggie out!)
If the application is re-writing the registry constantly with the settings it started with, then that may be the reason why editing the settings doesn't work and why it also doesn't stick.
Give that a try...
Hope this helps!

Hi _Alex_,
Thanks for your input.
I did try that, but unfortunately it still does not keep the same settings.
What I did was soft reset, change registry, soft reset - Then I had noticed that it kept the settings, but then I did a complete shut down and power up and then again, registry settings were back to '--"
I'm using the standard ATT ROM and the wierd thing for me is that I used the GSP (TomTom) on Tuesday with no issues. I tried to use it today and am unable to connect at all to the GPS via TomTom, Google Maps, or QuickGPS.

But did you kill QuickGPS before editing the registry and proceeding to the soft reset? It runs as a hidden service, which is why I recommend using dotfred's task manager, because the standard HTC task manager might not show it running.

If you use Alexs kitchen, i think you can edit the Rgu file under region to reflex where you are and cook the package back into your rom and it would always reflex the region you choose?
I've not tested it, but would a MortScript in the startup folder not do the job?
I made a little MortScript and added it to startup:
Code:
While (1)
Sleep (60000)
If NOT regKeyEqualsString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
RegWriteString ("HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region", "SE")
EndIf
EndWhile
This works and keeps the "SE"-setting (for Sweden), but having the script running constantly isn't exactly optimal as it uses processing power and thus adding to battery-drain. Anyone have any ideas on a different way of making the script, which is more effective/power-saving? Or is there an even better way to make the registry key stick?
Hi all, after reading numerous articles about how to fix my issue with GPS, I've managed to find a fix using the UK radio rom compatible with Dutty's 6.1 rom. What I found out was the my first lock always never locked or took forever. So, what I did was go to the registry and left the key:
"HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region" to "--"
Then for the first time, after a hard-boot, (power off/on), I had to do this once:
1. Start up GPSTool
2. Change the setting to "Warm Start" and click "open".
3. Leave the app running and open up my TOMTOM application.
4. Give it about a minute or two and then it would lock, no problems.
5. I then, exited out of TOMTOM and closed the GPSTool.
So, for the next time I need to start a GPS, enabled tool, I would just start it up and no problems, it locks right away, until the next hard-boot. Then I would do this again. Kinda stinks, but this was the ONLY working solution for now because I don't feel like flashing my phone again. I have many apps installed and it takes forever to reinstall everything. Hope this was helpful for some people. Enjoy!

Well, looks like GPSGate fixed another phone... hehe, very happy now!! Thanks all for mentioning the program!

I don't understand the link between:
- the registry key "HKLM", "Software\HTC\QuickGPS\", "region"
- and what you said about GPSTool
In the end how do you solve the problem with the region ?
Chris
The GPSTool is built into the Dutty's 6.1 ROM. Don't get that confused with the GPSGate application. They are two seperate apps.
In order for this to work, I set had to set my the registry entry "region" from "US" to "--". The full path location is listed above. I think when I ran the QuickGPS utility, it set my region to "US" in the registry. You will have to regedit it back to "--" then try what I did, or it may not work. It didn't for me until I changed it back to default, which is "--". I remember reading somewhere here that a "warm boot" was clearing the RAM within the GPS hardware, so I played around with the idea of it running, while starting up a GPS enabled application and got it to work.
But I eventually decided to use the GPSGate application which solved my problem, without having to run the GPSTool method. Note that I got a quicker lock, after regediting the region area back to "--" and running the GPSGate application. Usually the first lock would never happen or take well over 10 min. Now, the first lock is with 1-2 min. which is fine for me and every subsequent time I need to use a GPS enabled application, it would lock right-away, within seconds, until the next hard-boot (power off/on). Hope that clears things up a little.

Hmm good solution now its takes less than a min to start tomtom. thanks.
Is this problem in all wm6.1 roms....Im certain that this is the issue with mine as once i downloaded data my fix was much more rapid then without (1.5-2.5mins, no tall buildings around clear line of sight). Any wm6.1 not have this issue??

But I eventually decided to use the GPSGate application which solved my problem

What exactly is it that GPSGate does to solve the problem? Any specific settings you need to apply in GPSGate?
Just wondering if like the HTC Kaiser the Diamond has the option to use the GPS Photo setting, I know that with the Kaiser the registry had to be modified, has anyone heard if this is the case with the Diamond.
Cheers

I asked that a couple of days ago already..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396136
No clear answer yet, unless its in the video's, but its hard to watch here in China. So I don't know yet...
why dont you guys dump the roms and check there before asking here. in short... yes it has the gps photo.
Sorry I am not that technically minded to know what dumping a rom is.
I had spent an hour or so on Google so felt that sufficent research time spent before deciding to ask the question here.
thanks for the reply though
geotagging
i will be writing a detailed post about geotagging using any windows mobile 5/6 device that has gps built in.
must warn in advance that any geotagging info written to file whilst still on the device is not what i will be dealing with (roms and al that sort of stuff will deal with tht) i will be talking about once your photos get to your computer.
check back here soon. cant do it now im at work.

According to the tweak post, stickied at the top of this forum, it requires you to change a registry setting. To do so, download any Windows Mobile registry editor, and install the file. Then, check out the Diamond Tweak thread, tip #13 (I've just copied it below, but the thread is really filled with valuable information!)
13. Enable GPS photo: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 -> change the value "enabled" from 0 to 1
It might not be the right place to ask this but does this mean the GPS is activated/deactivated when you start/stop the camera ?
nope, only when you go into the GPS Photo mode.
There occured some problems after doing this registry change, please read posts below.
Ok Guys and Girls,
Because noone could help me with my questiong on howto keep the Registry settings for Hiding Sim Contacts, I searched the registry myself.
After some hours of Try&Error i found the registry entry for flushing the registry on Power off and Soft Reset.
This will help a lot
1. Go into Registry with Resco or other regedit tool
2. Find Entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\ObjectStore\Regflush
3. Change Value "ActivityThreshold" from "1" to "0"
Thats it. Have fun
Please test it and post here. If it does work for all, then please write it into the Diamond Tweak list.
Bye

I don't want to offend you, but you could have saved those hours by just making sure you search / read my articles as is also mentioned in the sticky thread. I've explained the meaning of the value at http://www.pocketpcmag.com/old_blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=898&more=1&c=1&tb=1&pb=1 .
"ActivityThreshold specifies the # of reg activity before we force a flush; [FlushPeriod:] Timeout period for a flush (flush occurs if there have been some changes during this period)... These settings cause the registry to flush when there are 256 changes or any changes within a second(which is probably too often.)"
Nevertheless, nice to know the Diamond comes with the default value of 0 and this is why it doesn't necessarily flush back changes to the flash storage. Very few (if any) models come with this setting.
Use this with caution!!! I have problems with my registry now!
@Menneisyys
Thanks for your Article. Have read through it but didnt find it in the forum.
Maybe you can help out a little
There is a problem with my registry now.
As you mentioned the value 0 is possible but now I cant change any registry entries. What do you think happend?
Maybe you can help out. What would be the best value to set?
Maybe people where the Registry is not being flushed can look at the value of ActivityThreshold and tell us.
Thx
aff u ****ed up my device to xDDD, anyone knows how to fix this?
omg phone not working and i cant even make a hard reset or flash another rom cos it acts like a disk drive and if i change to activesync it gets changed again to disk drive after some seconds :S
I did a Hard Reset and installed my apps again.
