Disable GPRS balloon (bubble)

Anywone out there who knows how to disable the GPRS notification balloon so that it wont pop up everytime GPRS connects to the network?
Should be easy with a registry tweak, but i havn't found anything. All the entrys in the registry regarding to notifications seems to point to the balloons in the bottom of homescreen.

check this thread for an awesome tweaking tool for your Wizard...

Great, thanx. Allthough i need the registry settings for since we are developing a software where the Balloons aren't suppose to pop up`?

I guess you could find them in "registry tweaks.doc", that was published in that thread. Although I didn't find resgitry setting to disable that baloon .

I don't get any GPRS balloon/popup - the only way for me to know I'm on GPRS is to closely eye the connections icon and see if it's either the big G (GPRS-available) or the small G (GPRS-connected).
We could compare registry dumps or something, but let's make sure I'm not-not seeing things, first. What is a sure-fire way for you to get the GPRS balloon thingy?

I get the balloon everytime GPRS gets connected.
Its the balloon at the TOP of the display that tells you that you are connecting o GPRS.

I guess I've found. I disabled notification on connection establishing (Start/Settings/Sounds and Notifications) and now I have no balloon.
Also I've found registry setting for that:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notificaitions\{8ddf46e7-56ed-4750-9e58-afc6ce486d03}\Options=DWORD:0

Works fine, thank you...How did you find the registry key?

ah, doesn't need a reg hack, then %) Must've disabled that a long time ago.
three ways to find a registry entry...
A. search
B.1 dump the registry
B.2 make the change
B.3 dump the registry again
B.4 compare the two dumps
C. use something like CeRegSpy to track registry accesses

Thank you for tips, I look for registry spy for a long time.

Just be sure to mail the author - you need a WM5-compatible version, and he's still working on perfecting that (the version I have works, but sometimes complains about the driver not being loaded).

Great, thanx, i´ll take a look at it.

Does any know how to disable the "Cannot Connect" balloon when a gprs session fails to connect?

After doing:
Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications Tab > Pull down menu and choose "Connection Established" > Uncheck "Display message on screen" > Press "Ok"
... I still get the "cannot connect" ballon too. Anyone know how to disable that rotten ballon?

Is this the "Holy Grail" of registry hacks?
I've been searching high and low and when anyone asks how to disable that infernal "cannot connect" ballon on many web sites, no one answers.
Could someone just tell me if it's impossible to disable or not?

HTC dialer very very slow

Why is the HTC Dialer very very slow. When i press a number, it takes time to show on the screen. So, i cant dial a number quickly. I need to press every digit individually and wait till it shows on the screen.
Is this normal??
HELP

Hmz dunno, don't have this problem.

Turn the sounds off in the options menu in the Phone application. Set the Keypad to 'Off' and it will speed up. No sounds but much quicker!

Disabling the smart dialing option increases the speed too (especially when you have many contacts stored).
open dialer -> menu -> smart dialing options -> deactivate
Greetz,

It did speed up my dialer, but still not upto the mark. Isnt there a way to make it even more faster?

Hi:
FWIW, my HTC keypad is very fast. I have both smart dialing and sounds turned on. Maybe you could try a hard reset. Is it possible that something you have installed is somehow affecting the dialers speed?

Hi dudes
I had the same problem but using your tweaks, especially disabling keypad sound, solved it. Thx
Ciao

i have same problem
but when disable sound
still slow

for those of you haveing issues still, did you ever install Vibra? Vibra was an app that allowed the user to quickly change to vibrate but use of a hardware key.
If so, this is the problem, it messes up all the sound settings which in turn causes issues with the dialer response times...

You can also try to disable the dialer theme:
[HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin]
Enabled = 0

Disabling sound solved the issue on my TyTNII, ,even with a quite huge contact database.
Thanks!

I had that problem, and that pesky program does not fix the registry even when you uninstall it. Luckily I had old registry backup and was able to look up the lines it messed with, and recover.
Gotta hate when little cabs like that can break your phone in such a bad way.
Lesson learned - always run registry backup before installing 3rd party apps and even Sprite Backup.

[Q]Bluetooth - making devices visible always

Ok, i did search over the forum, found some posts on this problem. But no solution, or i couldn't get the solution.
So, the question: everytime i click the bluetooth on at the comm manager, the "Making devices visible" will not checked at other people not able to send files to me. I need to manually go to bluetooth settings to enable it. It looks tedious every time i need to do double job by enable the bluetooth at comm manager and go to bluetooth setting to check "making devices visible".
Any tweak on this?

Ok. Found the solution by myself.
At blurtooth setting, click the timeout tab. Change Turn off visible mode to "never".
Try on bluetooth and check Make device visible again. It should work on your next bluetooth turn on.
Sorry for asking a dumb question.

This works until the next time you soft reset the device. Do you think there is a registry key that makes it permanent?

How to avoid WLAN network connection dialog?

Hi,
I'm having this problem: At home I work with WLAN all the time, so WLAN is enabled. Later, when I take my Xda Diamond as navigation device (with TomTom), whenever I pass a hotspot or private WLAN, a dialog box pops up and a nasty sound plays, telling me that WLAN networks are found and asking to connect. I simply want to avoid that dialog. Is it possible to tell the Diamond to ONLY connect to known WLAN networks (the one at home) and to be quiet if any other network is in range?
Sure, I could simply turn off WLAN whenever I leave home, but often I forget that, and I don't want to fiddle with the settings while driving...
Thanks!

you can turn off the notification when a new network is detected. just look in settings>sounds & notifications.

Dave, exactly what I was looking for! I just missed the point that you can change more than the standard ring tone here... Thanks!

Try This
If your still having problems, try this.
Here is a program i made that fixes this problem for the HTC touch pro, let me know if it works on your device.
On my device at least, after I disable the notifications they come back automatically every time I soft reset. This will fix that issue

You were right, after soft reset the notifications came back. Actually I solved that by setting a registry key in a MortScript:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Notifications\{DDBD3B44-80B0-4b24-9DC4-839FEA6E559E}", "Options", 0 )
I guess your *.exe does the same?

Interesting... how do you launch the script? Do you put a shortcut to it in the startup folder?

Exactly. After installing MortScript, it's enough to put a shortcut to my init.mscr script into the \windows\AutoStart folder.

Yep, that's all my program is doing.

New Text message - no sound

Hello all,
sorry for my bad english
Some how, my diamond doesnt makes alert sound when a new text message is recived. Every other event makes sounds perfectly.
I set it to make a sound and vibrate in the old winmo interface.
I found no option like this in diamond tweak or advanced config
(thos programs has only ringtone change option - and my diamond ring just fine. I used advanced config to set it to wake up when a new message arrives.
What can be the problem.

Same problem here, but with new MMS. SMS notification works normally.
MMS work with the new ROM.
But the MMS notification has no sound and no vibration, even if checked in the settings.

me again
I just found out that the same problem happens when I get a new Email message - the device makes lights but no sound even though I set it to at the events area in windows mobile settings. When I press the play buttin there it playes the sound perfectly.
HELP PLEASE

Had the same problem, I managed to set an inbuilt ringtone. Maybe it is not as good as my own, but at least I can hear anything. Search for it.

sorry for my bad english...
actually, i ever had this problem before, it is:
in the events area in windows mobile settings. if you press the play button, it playes the sound perfectly, but when a message is received, there is no alert sound...
that's because i changed the sms mode from "chat mode" to the traditional one (i just don't know how to express this, but i think you can understand) and when i change this back to normal, the sound comes back again
hope this can be helpful

Are these not working ringtones in MIDI format?
Just noticed setting a certain MIDI ringtone makes all MIDIs for this event fail.
(I switched to WMA and I am happier than with MID )

TRY: settings --> sounds&notifications --> notifications (tab) --> Event: Messaging: New text message and check the "Vibrate" checkbox. Worked for me after updating rom 1.97 to 2.03
