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
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.

Screen tap vibration?

Ok.. I was wondering... I noticed that there is a way to add a click sound whenever you touch something/open a program on the screen.... but I was wondering if there is any registry edit or .cab file to add a small VIBRATION whenever you touch the screen or open a program?

Here you go...this works for when you dial...

Anyone aware of one that vibrates for ALL screen taps, not just dialer.
I guess other phones are touting this as haptic feedback?
Seems like it should just be a matter of editing the registry, no?

how to uninstall?
okay so i installed this little mod and im not liking it very much. how do i remove it, i dont see an entry in the add/remove screen. let me know ASAP thx.

I would like to remove this to but can't see how, any help would be great, thanks.

Hi Radeon123,
if this cab doesn't appears in remove programs, then you directly can change back the modification in the registry.
Lookat this thread, the reg tweaking is described there and also how to get back:

NoSleep!!.CAB - Stops the screen blanking during calls - WORKS!! [02/08/2008]

Hi
I made this little CAB to install the registry tweaks that prevent your screen from blanking. I can confirm that on my Orange Diamond, using Bepe's .97 this actually works, whereas using Advanced Config didn't solve the issue.
The CAB file is uninstallable should you wish to remove it.
Thanks,
Shinobi_UK

Can you explain what´s in that cab?

Actually i found that using DT didn't work either, and I also find it more convenient to apply the registry changes with a cab file, rather than having to install an app I don't use and then make a load of clicks.
If you prefer to do it using a tweaking app then this cab isn't for you. The only reason I posted it is because I use it myself.

Well actually it's been very easy to achieve by taking registry snapshots, and then using diff on a linux box to find the changes, then import them into a cab file.
So thanks for wishing me luck but it's not required.
Sarcasm breeds sarcasm and frankly i'm slightly ammused that on a forum designed to help users share tips and software, a simple CAB i use after new ROM flashes has created such a hostile response.
I'm not attempting to replace or belittle your tool monte, it's certainly streets ahead of what i can do at the moment, however as bepe's ROM lets me run cabs at build this way is nice and easy for me to ensure that if I need to do a hard reset I can reinstate my registry tweaks during the reset without having to install any additional software.

I find it annoying to have to unblank the screen to use the keypad for things like phone banking and voicemail.

The registry tweaks in Advanced Config did not work on my phone either, but this cab did the job. Thanks shinobi_uk

THIS is effing amazing
Been looking for something like this for a looong time, cheers

Brilliant, I'd tried the registry tweaks in the tweaks thread, and advancedconfig without any luck and this cab worked perfectly.
I haven't tried DiamondTweak, looks interesting though.

This works perfectly. Big Thanks!

It's not that bad, it just annoys me when I'm phoning numbers where you have a number menu system to get through.
It's strange that it's something no other WM phones I've used have done, yet theres no menu option to disable it.

This CAB file is flawed, because it causes unnecessary battery drain.
It's wrong to make the screen never go to sleep during a phone call.
If you'll think about it for a moment, during a call we never really need the screen to be active for more than 1 minute or so, from the last time we touched it. If you are calling a digital voice machine (either your voicemail or anything), 99.999% of the time it won't take more than 1 minute between key presses.
The ideal tweak should just make the screen behave like when you're not in a call, meaning the screen reduces brightness after ~30 seconds, and shuts down after ~1 minute. In order to be 100% on the safe side, you could make it shut down after 2 minutes from last key press. BUT, making it never go to sleep is simply a waste of battery if you're doing for example a 30 minutes conversation.

center button and screen back on
My preference is to have the screen come on, see who it is, then allow it to go blank. If you need it to come back on, i just push the center of the scroll, enter button or whatever its called, and the screen comes back on. (at least it does on mine) . I like it that the screen blanks so it will save battery.
But i dont think we should discourage anyone from making any kind of cab if they desire.

Still, it is unnoying to press that damn key every 5 seconds. The screen should shut down after 1-2 minutes, but NOT never.

Thats abosolute BS. It is NOT flawed. If you dont want your screen to stay on just - dont use the CAB. I think most users around here are smart enought to know that keeping the screen on during a call takes a battery hit. If they use the CAB as I intend to they are willing to accept this.

"slide down for more options"

Hello, im using miri 8.1 premium and i want to remove the "slide down for more options" when i make a call... is this possible??

+1 i hate it!

+1, i really don't like it

yes! Me too, it is the most useless junk ever thought by the HTC ppl! It is annoying, please someone please help us remove it!

And why don't you ask miri for it in is thread instead opening a new one???

Its a pain to mute/un-mute during conf calls with this on.
Anyone?

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.

Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I must admit the Topaz dialer (as nice as it may look) sux! What was wrong with the standard HTC HD dialer? it supported landscape and was functional.

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?

thanks man it helped

How to make the dialer doesn't appear after a call

Hi,
I don't think my question is specific to a rom or a dialer.
I don't want the dialer appears after a call.
I would like to reach the home screen directly without the 5 seconds dialer transition.
Is it possible with a registry tweak or something else please ?
Thanks for all.

This is not a problem for nobody this dialer after a call ?
To be always forced to click on the cross or a hard button to reach the home screen ?
Please tell me a solution if you know it.

I would also like to know if a tweak like this exists...
I'll try to find a way but anyone knowing this is welcome....

Try this registry setting you must create:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallProgressIdleTimeout"=dword:00000000

Just push the Home button after the end button is pressed, you wont wait 5 seconds.

Another way:You can install advanced config and you can find in phone tab..

I have to revive this thread cause I am really interested in a tweak like this...
I've tried everything in Advanced Configuration and in Diamond Tweak but there is no tweak for this...
Does anyone know a tweak?

I think it's impossible.
I tried all the tweaks.
