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).

Hi Guys,
I've a problem with Spb Pocket Plus and with the default settings of my TyTN II.
I'll try to explain, because my ROM is in italian and I don't know how to translate them in english.
So, these are the facts:
I've installed the Trial version of Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 and I've checked the option to override the default X close button as you can see in pc_capture1.jpg.
Then I deselected it and reenabled from Settings - Buttons the two default items as you can see in pc_capture2.jpg.
But as I can try on my device, after a soft-reset, I can't see in the upper right of the screen the item that can let me choose to see and eventually close the applications running on the device pc_capture3.jpg
Now my question is: what is the registry key that I have to (re)set so I can reenable that functionality overriding that ugly settings from Spb Pocket Plus (that I've deinstalled but without success in resetting the item I need)?
Yes, I know it's difficoult to understand that pictures that are in italian, but if someone can help me, I'll be glad with him/her.
Bye,
ghale.
I know this dosen't really help because you seem to be talking a different avenue than I did... but I had to totally uninstall to get the HTC X back. There is a CAB for the HTC task manager that you might install and see if it over rides the SPB settings...?
Sorry.
If you have both Pocket Plus and the HTC Close Button app running at the same time, your results aren't likely to be good. Either disable the Close Button in Settings, or shut down PP's close button in it's settings, and then soft reset. If that doesn't work, remove Pocket Plus (your settings should be preserved) and reinstall.
Done.
I've the same problem.
Thanks, btw.
Does "Done." mean that you did it and the problem was fixed or that it's still there? Tough to tell from your last post.
Simply means that the problem was NON solved.
So I've reinstalled Spb and I'm trying to use the Spb method to close the application, instead of the HTC one.
I've tried also to install the HTC Task Manager, from 1.51 to 2.00, overwriting the ROM files, too, but without success.
I've tried a lot of time, but no solution.
If someone has other info, please let us know.
Bye,
ghale.

Go to settings - system - task manager - button and make sure both boxes there are unchecked. I run Pocket Plus (3.2 upgraded recently to 4.0) without an issue. If that doesn't resolve the problem, it may be something else you're running.
You might try posting your question(s) on the SPB forums. Mods there are most responsive to issues, especially with newly released versions of their software.

Hello-
I'm new to Windows Mobile (I've been on Palm OS for at least 5 years) and I have AT&T Tilt (8925).
I've been playing around with it for a while, and there's still some things I have questions on-
1)How do I complete remove some programs that I do not want and don't appear under "Remove Programs"? I know they're located in the Windows folder, but I get a Error 5 whenever I try to delete them- I think they're read-only or something...
2) I'm also having problems with the GPS receiver. At times it will work great, acquiring a signal in seconds, and other times it won't work at all, searching for a long time to find nothing. I use Live Search and Google Maps and have the same problem with both.. Any ideas?
3) Coming from Palm OS, I'm used to text messages coming up in a view. Is there a way to change that?
4) I modified my PTT button to work as any program. Is there a specific registry key I can set it to so that it acts as a power button?
5) I use gmail and I'm using their IMAP service. Some of my messages are appearing blank when downloaded. Was I supposed to change settings or something? Why does it only work for some and not others?
6) And last but not least, does anybody have any good mod/util programs to recommend?
Thanks for your help
Also,
7) Does anyone know how to disable the sound on the 3G launch screen when the device reboots?
I havent got too many answers to your questions, but this would be a sart at least.
KaiserTweak has many necessary customizations (but I dont think it addresses most of your questions.)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
The apps you want to remove sounds like the Cingular built-in ones. In that case you can avoid installing them by doing a hard reset, and rebooting before it installs the carrier customizations.
This article gives a step by step howto.

Also this page was useful in getting my GPS problems sorted out. The GPSTEST software seemed to cure the problem all by itself (and its freeware)

Yeah, I've got KaiserTweak already, I love it.
In terms of the "bloatware", that is indeed what I want to remove, but there's also some that I want to keep... Is there a way to remove programs that arent in "Remove Programs"?
Not AFAIK, but the actual AT&T apps are available as a separate cab in this thread.

Unfortunately they are still bundled together, but at leas they can be cleanly uninstalled.

Even after bypassing the bloatware install, the CAB files should still be on the device for you to install them on your own. Might take a bit of digging to find the proper ones and you may need something like Resco Explorer, or Total Commander to "see" them. I think the built in file explorer hides some of the system files, but I couldn't tell you much more than that.
Thanks. The GPS Fix doesn't seem to do much- am I missing something?

Are you able to run it. You should be able to use it to test the function of your GPS device, and find out what port it uses etc. Its a smartphone program, so you have to use it using the keys, not the touch screen.

It seems to help and it's definately a very useful app. I'll let you know if my problems persist.
Does anyone have any ideas on the other issues I'm having?
Oh knowledgable HTC folk,
I'm sure I've seen something on this but multiple searches have found nothing ...
I've uninstalled SPB Pocket Plus 4 (I have a registered 3 but was trying 4) and I've lost the HTC close/menu button on the top right of the home screen. Now, the close button only minimises apps rather than closes them fully.
How do I get this button / feature back ... please ...
And an early "Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year" to all,
Gary.
Unfortunately I had it as well and had to do a Hard Reset

cr*p, I've really tried to avoid this since getting my device about a month ago... Would I be able to backup/restore everything to current state or would it result in the same thing (I presume the worst but just asking)?
Oh, well: I guess it will give me an excuse to load one of the great new ROM's out there. I was hoping to wait for an update with the video drivers first though...
All you have to do is go to the Pocket Plus options screen & uncheck the close button option.

Gary.
First go into settings > system > task manager (if it's there) and try to turn on the close button feature. If it's not there, then follow below:
Reinstall of PP4 may or may not work now that you've uninstalled PP4, but it's worth a try.
Also, if you want the HTC task manager back, you can get it here in cab form and it will work fine once installed.

Actually, it was late and the only one I saw when looking quickly through was wktask1_1170 (in the cab collection). I guess this is the OEM version(?).
Is there any advantage for me uninstalling this and installing the latest version (presumably a local customised version)?

Interesting ....
It did exactly what I expected and what was on the phone in the first place (tiny drop down menu top right corner of today screen, properly closes programs, etc.)
Having said that, I've just checked my "Remove Programs" list and indeed, it says "waku WkTASK"; doesn't sound very OEM to me. Does work correctly though.
Is there any advantage to the other Task Managers that have been mentioned?

no, actually wktask has more functionality, maybe too much. Are you using a custom ROM? I ask because wktask doesn't come standard in the OEM ROMs.
The HTC version is just a task manager. You can find a screenshot here:

No, I'm just using the standard ROM that came with the phone. For the task manager, I just went to the directory here and picked the first file that I saw with "Task" in the title ....
I confirm again: it does work though
I am thinking about a custom ROM but am 1> fairly confused about the range out there and b> am waiting for a critical benefit such as the new video drivers.
Regards,
Gary.
well no rom is going to have video drivers, at least for now. that would have to come from HTC.
as for which rom to choose, Dutty's are some of the best. Which ever one you choose, make sure to research these forums to get other people's opinions first.
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!

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.
