Keep dialpad on while on a call?

I have to make a lot of calls to conference #'s and such, and I consistently find myself panicking when I have to enter a pin or entry code, because the back light has gone off (screen blank), and when I do figure out the right key to press to bring it up, the keypad is no longer there. I have to press the "show keypad" button. Usually by the time I figure that all out, if I haven't already inadvertently hung up the call, I've timed out for the response.
Anyway, making a short story long.... Is there anyway, while on a call, to keep the dialpad and backlight on?

I suspect you meant "Kaisertweak", not "kaiser tools". Thank you. I was able to weed out the reg hack to keep the backlight on longer. It wasn't clear that this also addresses keeping the keypad up.

And the final answer is... how do you do this. (Infallable ones: please spare us the read, search mantras...)

Bump. Anyone? Thanks in advance. This small change would really be a great useability enhancement for normal phone use.

Is it just a very strange description for this reg tweak? "Fast Sleep" sounds totally different than "Disable Automatic Call Status Switching". Is this a 2 for 1 change? Can someone simply post the exact registry change, that is easier for me?

Bump (again)
Wow, lots of comment, incorrect and corrected comments. Potentially cryptic solutions. Anyone with a simple registry change. Sure would be much appreciated.

Just download the F-ing application and make the change. It automatically changes the registry entry so you don't have to worry about it. Your question was answered, there's no need to bump this thread because it wasn't answered in the way you wanted it to be.

Thanks

Thanks man, really friendly and mature comment. Is there really a need to start with the "F-ing" language. Grow up, requesting a registry edit is really acceptable from my experience on this board. I simply prefer to manage all of my registry changes manually.

Just to give you a heads up this program "KaiserTweak" works really well. I have used it myself now on 3 different ROMS and have had no issues. I highly recommend it.

You are all WRONG
kierol, Hejdemann, madmatt079, and Bellfazar.
You guys are ALL WRONG! OK some of you are only 50% wrong.
A particularly big "screw you" back to Bellfazar for the unjustified "know it all" and rude attitude. See below from PM-ing with KaiserTweak author Chainfire.
The point is that there are two separate issues, clearly delineated by mooshwa in reply #3.
From swamp2 to Chainfire:
Sorry to bother you with a PM. I really dig your program and all the great reg edits you have put together. I prefer to manage my reg mods manually. Folks keep telling me that there is a reg edit in your program that disables the automatic switching, after placing a call, from the keypad to the call status window of the dialer. I would simply like to disable this automatic switching and not change anything else. I would greatly appreciate you sharing this reg edit with me. By the way in case it is relevant I have the AT&T branded device with the AT&T dialer as well. Thanks in advance.

Reply from Chainfire to swamp2:
AFAIK there is no Tweak in KaiserTweak that does this, though it may be some side-effect of another tweak. If you are interesting in the tweaks themselves, read the XML document format description on the KaiserTweak page and just download KaiserTweak and review the XML file. All tweaks are in there.

Lastly just to be 100% clear I am using the disable fast sleep tweak and that works great but it IS NOT a side effect of this tweak to accomplish what I was posting about, disable automatic call status switching.

HTC Home: Missing Contact Tab

At some point in the past few days HTC Home stopped displaying the Contacts/Favorites tab. I am (and have been) using HTC Home Customizer and I see Contacts as a choice on the Tabs setting and have selected (and de-selected several times) it but it still won't display the tab on the home screen.
I tried re-installing HTC Home but no joy...
Any and all thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated. I'm hoping someone can share their registry entries for HTC Home and/or Contacts?

Did you install one of the TouchFlo/Biotouch Cube installation cabs? They add a registry key that hides the contacts from HTCHome

^^^ If you did
i had the same problem and this worked

Thank you all!!!!

ZILLA - thanks, couldn't remember the exact registry value off hand ... didn't have time to look it up at that point
gregeast - glad to hear that fixed it. Sorry you didn't get the cube working ... it's not an easy install at this point, but pretty cool when you do get it working.

Thank the lawd! It works! I've been searching and reinstalling for a week.

Nice thanks

Where do you find the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial on the unit, have searched loads of directorys but couldn't find it to delete it?

Well sounds stupid, but you really looked in the Registry and not the File Structure? It is exactly there under MASD....

You have to use Regedit program and to search you have to search for QuickDial
not the whole thing. If you cant find a registry editing program, I think you are out of luck.

How to change the main menu soft button?

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!

I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in

Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.

i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

You will need to reset your device for it to show up in your programs list.

Haptic Feedback?

Does anyone know how i can enable haptic / vibration feedback for virtual keys while SMS or Email?
TIA!

up? is possible?

I don't think it is possible. Haptic was included in test versions of the Diamond but poor user receptiveness meant that it was taken out of the final build. I've had a dig in the registry and can't find anything that hints it's still there but you never know there are some clever people here!

I have haptic feedback in the dialer dialpad. It works great

@mooooooa
what are the steps in order to get that?

I second that!

For the dialpad, it should be the same reg edits as for any WM5/6 phone. Do a search for DTMF or VIBRATE in the Kaiser forum, and you'll find it.

I have a feeling he's using a 3rd party app...

View attachment phonepadvibratewm6.cab

I tried this and find the vibrate to be too strong. Instead, does anyone know how to enable the feedback which happens in Teeter, the 'bump' you feel when the ball hits an object?

@daren1
v0.15w0.15v0.15w0.15.
vibrate for 0.15s, wait for 0.15s, vibrate for 0.15s, wait for 0.15s.
replacing *vibrate* with combination as per above. soft reset might be required.
not sure if that one works. should provide softer vibration if works.

This did not work. After modifying the registry as you directed, there was no vibration at all. If you have any other suggestions, let me know and I will give it a try.
Thanks for your time.

I believe it doesn't install any files, it's just a reg tweak, so the only way to "uninstall" is to return these registry keys back to their default values. You might wanna do a search in the kaiser forum, but I'm not sure of that.

You can change them back without manually editting the registry. Just go to Start > Settings > Phone, and change the Kepyad tones to 'None', press OK, then reselect your preferred (None, Long or Short)
Hope this helps

Change "Notes" Application on dialer

Hi to you all. I wonder if anyone could help me, as i can´t find any help on older threads. On dialer there´s a button "Note". During call, if clicked, take us to, i guess, standard WM Notes application. How can i change this shortcut to Screenwriter or Apmemo?
Thanks,

C´mon guys this is not a hard one I suppose. Or is? Regards.

lol or look through reg @ phone settings mind you i think it's hardcoded "but could be wrong"
New htc song plays in background while placed on hold

You both are not helping at all. I read somewhere that the spirit/goal of this forum is not that kind of behavior.
I don´t need standard notes at all. I think that if i can find the executable and the parameters of the link on the button, i can replace it with a shortcut or even a mortscript.
Anyway thanks for your reply as now i know you both can´t help.
Regards.

Um so the look through the reg for phone doesn't help?
It's not going to be a .lnk and as previously stated the button will most probably be hardcoded.
Looking throu reg finds nothing also i doubt another software would follow the default format of note.
So my hunch says no you cant.

I can´t find a clue on registry. Thanks Stylez.
