Ok guys, I believe I've found the regkey to fix all the dropping wifi issues within WM2005. This has been tried and tested on my Blue Angel SX66 Cingular with the hack listed in the wiki to get up to WM2005. Anyways, to the patch, unfortunately I don't know how to make cab's so follow along. Get yourself a registry editor (i.e. TRE) and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\"Your Adapter Name. Mine had 2 keys, tiacxwln and tiacxwln1, tiacxwln1 was the ticket for me" Within the Parms folder you'll find a DWORD value named ResetOnResume which should be set to '1' change that value to '0' and hit ok in the bottom left corner. Give your BA a soft reset and all should be good. I haven't tested this for side effects, but it now reconnects to wifi on resume without a hitch. Please post results back here, I hope I am not jumping the gun!
TIP: To find your adapter name go into Settings>Connections>Network Cards>Network Adapters and look for "xxxxxxx Compatible Wireless Ethernet" again, mine was called 'tiacxwln Compatible Wireless Ethernet'.
Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!
This has been my number one gripe with WM5, everything else as just been small annoyances. But this one... I use WiFi a lot, actually almost every time I turn he thing on. I even got WiFi in my car! So thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you!
Oh, do I have to say that it really works? :lol: Qtek 9090 btw.
You who try this, don't forget to turn off the unit for 15 seconds before you do the soft reset, this flushes the registry.
This also appears to work on WM2003, at least with my SX66 running the current revs from the SX66 Standardization Project.
WOW ... its perfect ..... you're realy MAN !!! thx thx thx.....
I've updated BA_WM5_FIX.CAB so that it sets this registry value:
ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/wm5_test/BA_WM5_FIX.CAB
with this registry setting wifi on my BA will not stay off. anyone else getting this?
Yes, I see the same thing. Now suspending the unit will turn on wifi on resume. So is that a problem for those who worry about battery life? Probably. Do I care? Nope! But then I'm in my own home around 90 % of the time, within reach of the charger. No, I'm not a slacker, I actually run a business and work 8-10 hour days, but I have my office at home!
Sorry guys I don't understand what's happening. What's going on with the wifi?
brn2prgrm: On WM5, if you turn Wifi on, switch the device off, then back on, Wifi does not resume. This action was default on WM2003SE. The registry key that makes Wifi resume by itself when you turn the device back on was found, and then integrated in the WM5 patches CAB. That's basically all
Eh...it was he who found that key! What he's wondering about is why it isn't possible to make it stay off when you have enabled this key, even if WiFi is off when you suspend, it will turn on when you turn on the PPC again, which it didn't do in WM2003. It was restored to last state, on or off.
Another thing: Has anybody tried this hack with the wireless control app from the Universal that was posted here a while ago, to see if it stays off then?

I think there is a TYPO in the cab file.
I found the reg setting as tiacwln1
Shouldn't this be tiacxwln1 ????
yes, it is a typo.
I've removed the mistyped key from BA_WM5_FIX.CAB and made a BA_WIFI_FIX.CAB which sets the correct registry value. They are in the same dir on FTP
I don't understand the wifi thing:
I get some connections from my neighbours,but my own linksys won't connect?
What do I have to do to connect my MDA to my linksys router??
since I upgraded to WM5 I can't get my wifi to operate 100% of the time--for example, when I connect to wifi--the signal is locked then I try to send/receive my email and then my SX66 tries to connect via GPRS--do I have a setting that's incorrect? or is it because of this thread which is now patched?? HELP--I use my wifi a lot and lately I can't TIA!!

I'm waiting for a patch that does exactly what you thought off, restores its last stage. Not sure hwo long would it take to come out with it.
Anyway, I do not find it a hassle to Turn On Wifi once again instead of it swtiching on by itself upon power up..... I use wifi a lot too though, but haven't found a prob with it.
how about a registry patch that fixes that bluetooth auto turn off annoyance?
O2 XDA IIs (wifi)
Hi , I have recently upgraded my 02 xda IIs to WM5 ,
after applying the patch , wifi worked for a while , then now when i try wifi again, i get this error.

Someone please help me.
Sorry posted this in the wrong area at first...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14416&highlight=keyboard+light
this post talks about how to do the change on a Blue Angel, how do we do this with a Wizard? It has a similiar registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Backlight) just no file called "QKeyLedTimeout" in there, is it located somewhere else in the wizard? Mad Monkey Boy has this same thing posted on his tips site but again there is no "QKeyLedTimeout" in my registry. This keyboard timeout after 5 seconds or whatever is driving me crazy!
This patch doesn't work on Qtek 9100 with I-mate ROM...
I noticed as much, is there a similar hack we can do on these things?
i think this is everyones dream!
not sure what the developers were drinking when they set this time limit
will be waiting to see this thread with a successful answer too!
I wonder if this key would work if added to the registry? Although its easy to do this on a PC I'm not sure how you add keys on a mobile device, anyone have any ideas?
does not work on dopod838 wwe.
installed the DL_ed cab file fr madmonkeyboy, this creates the registry line with setting 30, but mine still goes off in 3 sec.
This doesn't work on QTek 9100 with the original QTek ROM either.
The way I see it, there are 5 possible ways that the keyboard backlighting is handled...
A. It is read from registry every time you open the keyboard. If this is the case, CeRegSpy should be able to detect it - even if the key doesn't exist. I have not tried this (yet).
B. It is read from registry at start-up. If this is the case, and it executes before any other programs - perhaps even as part of a device driver - I don't know if there's any way to find out what registry key it tries to read from. Checking out the device driver might help, but I have no idea which file is the external keyboard device driver
C. It is part of the LEDs interface. A programmer on here should be able to help out in that case. The LED interface is well-documented and there are examples here:
http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/led.html
With those examples, it should be easy to determine how many LEDs there are, and turn them on/off - or make them blink. Any programmers up to the task ?
D. It is hardcoded in the driver or a support file. This would mean you would have to edit the driver/file. Not impossible, but far from user-friendly. Again, you would need to know what the device driver or support file is, first - and -then- you would still need to reverse-engineer it.
E. You won't like this one: hardware-controlled. By this I mean a simple SMD circuit or even controller chip which turns the light on as soon as a connection is made, runs for 5 seconds, and then stops. The time, in those cases, would typically be controlled by means of a tiny resistor. Anybody want to void warranty, open up their device, and go about soldering? I didn't think so.
I hope it's either A or C.. I'll give A a try, myself, after lunch. If it's not A, then a programmer might help out with checking whether it's C (a simple interface with on/off checkboxes for each LED device should do the trick!)
CeRegSpy unfortunately fails for me ("Exception in DllStartTracer()"), but if it the author/publisher can help me get it working, I'll post findings eventually.
Hmmm, I'm using the Wizard ROM on my BA and it has that registry entry in location mentioned above. I set it to 30 and it works.
BlueAngel and Wizard are quite different devices, though
That said - which Wizard ROM had the entry? My Qtek 9100 doesn't have it, I tried adding it and seeing if it'd work a few days ago - no go.

True, they are different hardware.
I'm not sure which device the BA-Wizard ROM was pulled from...
You can change the backlight setting in the control panel right? That value has to be stored somewhere in the registry I think...
There is no settings for the HTC Wizard keyboard backlight in Control Panel. The only backlight control panel settings are for the main screen's backlight.
I was provided with a beta of CeRegSpy that works with WM5, but there was nothing of interest in its output either. At this point I'm inclined to believe that the timeout is hardcoded in the driver file. I'm dismissing the hardware option, as the keyboard doesn't respond at all until the Windows Mobile loading screen - if it were in hardware, it'd likely react as soon as power was supplied to it.
Unless HTC or QTek or, etc., can provide us with exact information on where the timeout may be controlled, I think this is not likely to be adjusted by us anytime soon.
Hello,
I'm new with smartphones and did something stupid:
deleted a key, while trying to solve another problem, in:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers
After this my s730 no longer connects to the mobile network. The key was similar to the one used for my main GPRS connection in this folder: {7C4B7A38-5FF7.....
I tried to move it because I thought they were identical, by I deleted it.
From what I remember it contained a subkey "Connections" and a (Default) with no value set. Maybe I'm wrong.
Can somebody let me know what could be in there? If not, how can I restore the phone and all it's settings to factory-state?
Thanks
I believe to restore it to the factory settings you have to hold both softkeys down and power it on, but I seem to recall someone saying you dont need to hold the power button just press it.
But I am sure someone will chime in with what was in that folder, myself once my phone is charged up probably
The files I have are:
7C4B7A37-5FF7-4...
7C4B7A38-5FF7-4...
9eefcedf-a6bc-445...
AAC76F3F-31FF-4F...
CB8D126F-71AC-4...
EF097F4C-DC4B-4...
f792e23c-dc19-466...
OK,
I deleted the first one. Can you let me know exactly its name and contents? You'll save me from many hours that it will take me to set it up again.
(My phone shows that its disconnected from the Cell Network, but its not! in any case I can't call from it and it won't ring on incoming calls, it only accepts SMS messages.)
Thanks.
EDIT:
The one I have is this:
7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA
EDIT2: Many registry editors support exporting keys. That would be super good too
Case closed
Don't bother, I couldn't fix my other problems which I'm not sure where they were coming from, so I hard reset it..... and starting over.
Thanks for your help anyway.
Ah, right when I get the providers file exported
Get your phone working again and set a restore point, save some headaches down the line.
I ordered the Sprint Diamond today online and should have it by Tuesday. I'm a long-time Blackberry user, so I've never used Windows Mobile and have some questions on setting it up. Go easy on me, because I'm not an IT guy or anything. I'm sorry if these questions are listed on other threads, but maybe this will also help some others that are getting the Sprint Diamond and need help setting it up.
1) I want to be able to use most of the apps in landscape mode. I understand there is a download here that allows that. Is it a program or a cooked ROM? Will it work on the Sprint version? If so, is it easy to do and how do I do it?
2) Likewise, I want to set it up so it doesn't answer in my pocket. There have been threads on fixes for this on this site, but my head is spinning from trying to figure it all out. Did everybody come to a consensus on which fix is best? I think one used the acceloratometer and one disabled everything but the hard send and answer keys. And most importantly..will it work on the Sprint version?
3) I also hear that there is a problem with the touch screen remaining active during a call, and that your cheek can unwittingly press buttons on the touch screen. What do I do about this problem?
4) At the moment, I am not using an Exchange server. Short of setting up a hosted exchange solution, is there a way to get push email (maybe a solution like Blackberry Connect software and Sprint's BIS server)? I saw something about the GSM version including Blackberry Connect software, but I haven't seen anything on the Sprint website about it.
What other apps should I install to pimp my Diamond?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does anyone have any answers to the question above?
Thanks
JPJP
1... GSEN or Advance Config and there is an option that will let you map the call button to where it can change the axis of the screen.
2.. Haven't had an issue with this thusfar
3.. Nope never had this issue in fact I'm looking for a way to keep the back light on as it always locks within a minute.
4...Pretty sure push mail works on this and have read people hacking and getting blackberry connect working on the diamond.
HI all,
I have setup MS Voice command on my Fuze to announce the name or phone number of the person calling on in coming calls. On my Tilt, it would announce the name either thru the speaker or my BT headset. With the Fuze, it will not. Is anyone else having this problem.
Also, with my Tilt, my ring tones would play thru my BT Headset and it will not on the Fuze. I don't know if this are related. I am using the BT headset on both.
Thanks
billf.
Yes, I'm having this same problem, and it is making me consider returning my Fuze and sticking with my tilt. Unless HTC or someone comes up with a fix within the next 2 weeks, my Fuze is going back. The only other bug I have noticed is that auto-correct does NOT work for the keyboard. It's supposed to automatically add in apostrophes for words, such as "can't, don't, won't" etc. Also, the word suggestion never shows up when I type, like it did on my Tilt. Of course it gives you suggestions with T9 turned on, but that's not the same as word suggestion. It would provide suggestions based on previous typing habits, and even predict entire phrases it thought I was going to type. Anyway....if someone figures out how to fix these problems, please let me know ASAP! Thanks.
I just noticed this tread. I too am having the same problem with it not announcing. My Tilt did it just fine and I have the Fuze VC set up exactly the same way as my Tilt, but all I get is my ringtone and no announcement.
Check your settings. I think you have to announce notifications using bluetooth hands free if available. and uncheck "only durning free time"
I think that may work.

That is the way I have it set up. No go. What is weird is that my ring tone plays over the bluetooth headset, but the computer generated voice doesn't speak.
it has to be a bad version or something.
also..last night i tried to install the cab i've used for over a year on top of the at&t version thinking it would overwrite the necessary files. no go. it corrupted the phone and had to hard reset to fix.

I'm glad that you decided to be a "guinea pig!" Because I was going to try this today! I was going to re-install the .CAB that came from my Tilt. But I'm glad to see if that doesn't work. In order to find a solution, do you think I should call AT&T or HTC? Which one would give me the solution? Because I only have 25 days left before my Fuze is non-returnable.
Hmm I never tried it yet on the fuze with my BT. I'll try it and report back.
Ok crap. Yeah. It doesnt "voice" announce. I never noticed it because I can dial from headset and even number dial from headset and it'll work. I can hear it repeating the number back.
BUT its not like its not working... If I remove the announce incommming calls, it makes my phone ring, but in my earpiece I hear a tone to tell me I have a phonecall. When I enable announce incomming calls, my phone vibrates and I hear my ringtone in my ear, and faintly I can hear that "tone" I heard before. So it sounds like the voice side of things isnt working.
Ok tried one last thing before my BT headset died. Doh!
When it died, my phone announced the caller. So it does work. Its just not working from the BT headset, you hear a bell sound or something.
Also, I just noticed my cars BT doesn't show battery of the phone. When my Tilt was on the car BT, it would show the battery remaining.
MS Voice Command
Check out the MS Voice Command guide on WinMo-Experts. There might be an answer to your problems in there.

Thanks for the link. I dont think it solved anything we're getting. Since Fuze has it built in, I dont think we can overwrite the files.

Guess I didn't notice, but dose not work for me either. I do enjoy that on the Tilt, but I more like the Tilt for the message and email voice notification.

PS. I'm simply not keeping the Fuze. I'll stick with my Tilt and TF2. love the whole setup and the speed of the touchflo usingHyperDragon Raphael
Signal is average compaired to my Tilt, when testing out T-Mobile connection. On 3G, I'm constantly around 2 bars(but it spurts to full so I know its working) So I think Hawaii is still bad with 3G is some areas.
I use VC ALOT. So I'm amazed I never noticed this issue where it wont say the caller in my ear.
I'm not sure if I'll keep the phone/drop ATT/both.
Please someone fix this! I dunno if it helps, but all you hear is a bell sound in the background of your normal phone ringtone. I know thats from the MSVC. The only thing not working is the announcement of whos calling. I think everything else is working. I can voice dial,recieve calender announcements and appoinments,etc from my BT headset.
Oh, not just BT headset. It won't announce it from the phone either.
I even did a "bloat free" installation.
the fix is on pdaphonehome.com i had the same problem with my sprint touch pro. weird since the diamond doesn't have this problem. you have to edit the registry to use the wav file instead of the default. only side effect with the fix is the phone will ring once and VC will announce the rest of the duration.

Eww,junk fix. I'll check it out tho. While not a problem when I have my headset, it would be if i had my phone sitting on a table.
Reg hack
I copied this from pdaphonehome.com....kuddos to the person that figured this
out. Kind of a hacky way to get it to work though. Perhaps the brains around
here can figure it out.
--------------------------------paste-------------------------------
This isn't a complete solution - but it's an improvement.
With this fix - the ring tone will play for a second and then be cut off by the call announcement. The announcement will be at a lower volume. The announcement will repeat - the ring tone will not be played again.
NOTE THAT YOU SHOULD ATTEMPT THIS FIX ONLY IF YOU ARE COMFORTABLE IN UPDATING YOUR REGISTRY.
Change the following registry keys:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category
change from VoiceCommand1 to Ring
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Script
change from as5p to v0p (that's v-zero-p) - for vibrate & ring, or p (ring only)
The above fix seems to get the announcements reliably, and doesn't break the set vibrate/set ringer features in the TF3D interface.
Hopefully we can find a better solution - that will restore the full functionality of Voice Command incoming call announcements - and not need this hack.
Another option is to manually overwrite the ringtone file name:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Sound
change to \Application Data\Volatile\TTSCallerID.wav
This fix replaces the ringtone with the call announcement - and at full volume.
BUT this solution has several problems, including breaking the set vibrate/set ringer feature in TF3D.
From reading that, if I DON'T use the TF3D ring/vibrate, but use the windows mobile one, I should be fine by doing the second hack listed above? I think I could live with that as I eventually will kill the TF3D just so I can get the calender of my Pocket Informant to show instead. Only thing I like was the Weather and clock of the TF3D anyways and ATT crippled the clock by removing the animation.
Doe anybody know how to do the 2nd option? Not sure if I'm supposed to delete the whole registry line or somehow add to that line?
