I can't seem to get the UMTS Band Page to show up on my Tilt. I did the same registry edit as with my 8525 - HKLM/Software/OEM/PhoneSetting "ShowUMTSBandPage" value set to "1". I tried several times, and verified the value was at "1" after a soft reset and even tried a hard reset, changed the registry again, and still no luck.
Any ideas?
I looked at my registry (ATT TILT) and it is "stock" just as you describe (value=1) and I don't have a UMTS Band Page anywhere from what I see. I have to go to /windows/ and tap the EXE file.
Hope that helps...????
After a quick search, I found an app that might help you. Version 2 is a "paid" program, but version 1 is free.

Hey Grizzley...Not exactly sure what EXE file you are talking about. Where is it and what is the name? Thanks!

Not my program but a good one.. however you must use a new version for the tilt and I know the ver 1.2.3 will not work 100% correctly. It is prob worth the money if the newest ver works but there must be other ways to disable 3G just not as easy as the prog.
I hate to bring up an old thread, but has anyone found a resolution for this problem other than installing bandswitch? I did a search and while I may have overlooked a true solution, bandswitch (or similar) seems to be the only answer.
You could flash to the HTC ROM to get it.

Ahhh, but of course! While that is indeed a viable option in general, right now I need to keep the stock rom in place given some network issues that are "under investigation." Hence why I would like to/need to avoid installing bandswitch and would like the "factory," if you will, way of limiting to WCDMA.
Just install a 10 button Comm Mgr that has a 3g toggle option (if that's what you're talking about).

My battery life is killing me.
Can anyone tell me how to switch the bands like I used to on my 8525?
I looked under settings/phone/ - no "Band" tab
I modified the registry ShowUMTSBandPage to "1" but still nothing shows up.
Please help!!!
Thanks!
Open the file manager, switch to the Windows directory, search for the file "HSDPASwitch.exe" and run it. I hope the file is available on the Tilt.
Is this what you are looking for?

Nope. We dont have that file. Can you send us the file and see if it can work on the Tilt?
It is there, but you have to turn on "Show all files". At least on the AT&T stock firmware.
Peter - thanks for the info. It wasn't quite the file I was looking for (it does exist on the AT&T Tilt units. There's a "band" tab on the phone settings that allows you to switch between GSM & CDMA. There's a band.html in Windows directory that explains this but it doesn't seem to be available.
The file is there, but doesn't seem to work. I uncheck the enable HSDPA box, and it pops up to say I need to reset, but after a soft reset, I still have 3G.
I believe the HSDPA app is for switching between UMTS & HSDPA (which is the higher data rate).
What I'm looking for is the band tab application to select between Edge & 3G (like on the 8525).
I'm not even passed 1/2 my day and I'm already on 46% (I had it charged fully at 7am).
battery life is concerning me too - so i'm trying the Fully charge/fully deplete cycle a few times to see if i can achieve better battery performance.
if not.. time to start cutting back on the services or get a desk/car charger

been trying to figure out the band page issue myself - the registry entries form the Hernes days don't work. i believe you can manipulate the registry keys to do this but clearly not a user freinfly option.
Can someone who understands what the 3G buttons (on the Comm Mangers that have it) does behing the scenes?

I had to unassanble the program to let commmgrpro be compatible with Kaiser
It unregister, from operator and then makes a hidden and undocumented direct call to the driver to make the magic and previously does a change in registry. But the complicated things was to discover the correct params needed by the IOCTRL function
Dani
I wish I knew that as well, I would love to have a switch for 3g or nothing cause edge is brutally slow
I turned on 3g in the command center but my phone still switches between eg and edge frequently. When I turn off 3g in the command center it turns off my data all together, is this functioning properly?

Hello,
For the past few days the (from what I gather) well-known problem of not being able to install or run an 'untrusted' application has been plaguing me. However, I've been searching here and googling around for a long time now with no result...
Been using Dutty's 5.2.19199 (WM6.1) and I really didn't change any setting! So what gives? Any ideas?Basically, how do I get the prompt back (the one during installation)?
Thanks in advance!

Check your registry settings! Use KaiserTweak or Schaps' AdvanceConfig!
Yes, I know it must be something in the registry, but what? And, I thought of Tweak and AdvanceConfig but -guess what? They're not authenticated! Argh!

If you are technical, try this: Download KaiserTweak's latest XML file and open the file in Notepad. Then see what registry key(s) is(are) modified for this tweak.
Ah now - that's a great idea! But, do you know of any PC-based registry editor, since I cannot install one on my TyTNII?
If you're really technical, you can follow through with cmonex's way found here.
If not, search for dot fred task manager, which includes a great *FREE* registry editor amongst other tools, much better than PHM Reg Editor, imo....
Whoa, thanks a bunch. I'll try the task manager first (found here, btw), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to run it either - the whole system seems VERY restricted! I'll try to make heads from tails with the instructions in the other thread. Thanks so much!
Btw, I do seem to remember a program that allowed you to edit the PPC's registry from Windows PC, anyone remember that?
Thanks again guys - much, much appreciated!
You can run the untrusted app, i.e. Advanced Conig. Just select yes. Then make the changes.
BTW, to view the xml, just Open notepad on pc & drop the xml in the notepad window.
No I can't that's my problem - it just flat refuses to run it, it doesn't give me the prompt.. that's why I'm asking for a PC-based registry editor!
Anyhow, I'll try it today and will let you know if I manage it!

The problem with this cab (and another one I had found) is that, once the mobile goes berzerk, you can't install it because, of course, it's unsigned... Catch 22! Thanks anyway - and, by the way, superb site, added to my RSS aggregator at once!
Anyhow, I just applied the reg tweak (set to 0), reset, thing asks me to verify running unsigned start-up programs, I OK them, and then... still same problem! What the heck? There doesn't seem to be any other tweak...

Yes, I set it to 0; it was set to 1 (probably an earlier KaiserTweak session), but I actually wanted to get the prompt so that I could tell it that f*cking yes, I want to run/install the app!
Anyhow, been switching between 0 and 1 with no effect... Feel a hard reset coming on, but it's weird because I've found quite a few posts around (not necessarily here) and no solution...
Got the same problem after a white screen after hardspl, but changing the registry worked for me. Thanks, now I can try jumpspl.
Hi Guys & Gals:
Have you found there is no paste menu item on phone dialpad?!
Please if you found it, tell me how, cause it too much difficult to use. thank u!!!
Errr there is on mine (tlr 3 rom), if you have already copied something (a number i am assuming) then go to 'phone' and click menu (bottom right), then click 'paste', it is like the 7th option on that menu... what's the problem? maybe I misunderstood your issue...
hi man:
no, actually even i copied something like a phone number, this item still not exists. my rom version is 1.35.707.3 WWE, it's official.

Why don't try so:
1) select with the stylus what you need
2)push the stylus over there(it will appears a menu with copy option)
3)tap on copy
4)go to the application in wich you want paste it and simply re-push the stylus
5)it will appears the paste option...done
Edit:excuse me, i didn't read the title(No paste menu item on phone dialpad )sure you know my option.Sorry
Nevermind, but no one got idea?

Hm... nobody seems to get it - What Nuclear says is that there is no PASTE option in the phone keypad view. Used to be there on my TyTN, now it's gone!! Anybody know how to get it back?
I re-raised this issue here yesterday...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407216
It seems to have been an issue with the Diamond from the start, but no one seems to know how to enable pasting directly onto the dialer.
I think it's time HTC addressed this, as in my book it's a serious ommission.
I'm interested in a quick straw poll of Diamond users out there for whom this is an important issue?
If there's enough response, perhaps we can bring it to the attention of HTC.

Phone -> Menu -> Paste doesn't exist!
Perhaps the ROM you're using has the paste as an option here?
Perhaps also this is the reason that more of you aren't jumping up and down over this as it's perhaps ok on some versions. I've got a UK Orange with 1.37.405.1 WWE, and the more I hit times I need this feature the more wound up I'm getting about it.
I also don't have that option on my UK Orange Diamond, not really had to use it though.
It would seem that it has been fixed in .93; could some of you with standard .93 confirm this for sure?
If confirmed, it'll spur me on to flash an upgrade. Also if confirmed, could any of the more technically minded work out if it's a registry tweak, or a software re-write/upgrade.
TIA

Official vodafone UK 1.93.161.2 upgrade had the PASTE in the menu.
Previous 1.37.161.2 did not have it.
It may be due to HTC phone skin? Newer version has the menu option. Older version does not.
OR, may be due to code base 1.93.xxx.x has the option and previous code bases don't?
??
Thanks, mystery solved. So paste was obviously added as an option in the menu to .93. I can feel an upgrade coming on... just need some time to fit it in.

[Q] Paste in dialer
No, i haven't put shoe shine between my hardware keys.
What I really would like to find out is whether anyone has adressed the COMPLETELY INEXPLICABLE lack of a paste menu item in the dialer context menu? This is such a basic feature I can't believe they left it out!
Saw this issue in a search but there was never any conclusion.
Is this perhaps adressed in any ROMs?
Is there a registry setting?
Anyone?
Did you not read what's been just posted above?
Upgrade your rom to a 1.93 variant, and you should have it.

Welcome to the HTC Touch Diamond - home of many illogical choices and omissions of basic features
I've got Diamond Project 3.3 and no paste in the menu
It seems that diamond project is based on 1.93 but no paste option...
Any idea
I know PhoneAlarm does this, but I don't like having to install SecondToday to use it. It seems to slow my device and switching today screens takes about three seconds.
Anyway, I like Phoneweaver better because it has a popup profile switcher/commmgr menu I can assign to the PTT button. It's good, but it can't toggle 3G like PhoneAlarm. However, it can run an exe on a profile change so all I would need is a small app that can turn 3G on and off. I searched but didn't see anything that appeared to do the trick. Any ideas?
i can't believe something like this doesn't exist. a google search turned up some threads about skschema from 2006 so i guess i'll try those.
no other solution?
i found this thread which has a toggle3g mortscript. i installed it, but it doesn't work, or at least i can't get it to work. it launches to the confirmation screen. but i click OK and nothing happens.
can any of you mortscript experts help out? and, yes, i changed the vjvolubilis directory in the script from \Extended Rom\Program Files to \Program Files\
also any ideas of how to skip the confirmation screen? by the way, i tested it on my old phone, a tilt, which has a dutty rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2145594&postcount=371
If you edit the mort script you can change this:
Code:
ChoiceDefault( "Toggle 3G","Do you wish to proceed with toggling 3G?",0,10,"Cancel","OK" )
case (1)
#Message( "Cancel" )
Exit
case (2)
#Message( "OK" )
call( "setOpMode" )
case (0)
#Message( "Cancel" )
Exit
EndChoice
to something like this:
Code:
call( "setOpMode" )
That should make each run of the script toggle the 3G reg setting.
thanks. i've been tinkering with it with some help in this other thread also and the poster suggested the same change.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3024082#post3024082
but like i said in that thread, no matter what opmode is set to by the script, HSDPA remains on even though the wireless manager shows that 3G is off (but if i turn 3G off through the wireless manager it completely disables 3G and the today screen only shows an edge connection).
so the script is missing something to completely disable 3G. i just don't know what.
UPDATE: i even tried skchema scripts from this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1079636&postcount=5), same results. so obviously simply changing the value of opmode doesn't completely disable 3G.
UPDATE 2: i even tried bandswitch 1.2.3, using the command line. it made the registry changes and the wireless manager showed 3g off, but the H was still on the today screen. so it's something more needed to completely disable 3G via script.
Yeah, I've been poking around with it for a few minutes and noticed there's a few additional reg keys that need to be altered in order to toggle 3G.
I added HKLM\Software\OEM\UMTS\BandSelection\Band, as that is another one that's changed via the Band settings page, but there's still more that needs to be touched.

i noticed the band selection folder, too, but i didn't notice a change. which key changed when you turned 3G off via the wireless manager?
man, it would be great if i could just command line the wireless manager.
After further testing, and using SKtracker, it would appear the changes for 3G/Auto -> GSM are more than just registry changes. Not sure what else it's doing, but modifying the reg settings and cycling the phone radio doesn't do squat. I guess that's why there's programs like Bandswitch/CMP and PhoneAlarm (full). Maybe schap knows what else is involved, as he added a 3G toggle to the 9 button CommMgr on the Kaiser.
This is what Daniel Herrero said about the 2G/3G switching:
Hi.
If you are talking about connections (close idle connections, disable them, etc) then Its win32 api standard. If you talk about switch between 2g-3g then I did reverse ingineering of htc binaries. It was easiest on HTC Hermes, Universal and Athena but in Kaiser (Tilt) It was much more dificult (Strange calls to undocumented htc methods with variable parameters). I am scared about incoming htc models....

Sorry for the long topic but hopefully it will help others when searching if we can find a solution.
I'm searched and searched and tried a few different settings but everytime I get a pic message (mms) it comes in as a 4k thumbnailed version.
I have centennial wireless as my provider and I'm using an 888 cooked rom.
I am assuming it is something to do with those registry settings for arcsoft but I don't know which ones will work for my carrier.
I also don't have a data plan and only pay for 10 mms/month (so my testing ability is kind of limited.)
Anyone have a clue? or some full proof settings?
Thanks to Aftashok, there is a solution.
I had actually tried this but for some reason the settings didn't take after the soft reset and I didn't double check them.
Basically you have to find a phone that your provider also supports (as they don't support the Kaiser for me.)
Here is his PM:
Aftashok said:
with a registry editor, go to HKLM/Software/Arcsoft/Arcsoft MMS UA/Config/mm1/WspHeader and then change the value for ur User-Agent to: " NokiaN95/11.0.026; Series60/3.1 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1 " (without quotes)....worked like a charm for me!
