Button lock always returns after soft reset

Hi guys, I am having some little problems with my Xda2i as following.
1. I use button lock to stop using the camera button (as I always accidentally touch it then camera starts, many time I open camera without notice for long time till my battery almost gone!!) Every time I soft reset, it always turn to defalut mode.
2. Also the same happen with "today". I show some items such as Worldmate. When soft reset, it disappears (though I ticked to show it always)
3. Favorites network also the same, ticked it then changed after reset.
Could anybody please help me?.
Many many thanks in advance..

do what i have done removed the camera from my start up prgrams and allocated the button to none that way it can't activate
as for the others i'm not to sure ,i'm sure some1 else will be able to help

Sounds like somehow the registry has become read only. Have a look in the startup folder and see if there any programs in there that shouldn't be running. Also has this started after some program has been installed?

Hi Pug, checked my startup and found below program lists
-camera_detect
-checkautorun
-clear_notify
-IA_CID_start
-PHM Traylaunch
-PhotocontactPro
-Pocketnavy
-poutlook
-RunBT
-spb GPRS monitor
-STK
It seems like you doubt, it happens after program installation.
Any more advice?
Many many thanks

I don't doubt you at all, just trying to help you solve this.
PHM hasn't got a registry restore feature has it? If it has try disabling it. I don't use it so I don't know.
Don't know what that Pocket Navy is so can't comment on that.
If you delete Camera_Detect you can assign the camera button to something else if you want and the button assignment will survive a soft reset.

Sorry for my aweful english, Pug.
This problem wa before PHM installed, it should be ok (anyway I am not knowledgable to know if it has registry or not. I am too new hands)
Pocketnavy is "CloseAll" I like it more because it has window to see running programs and can select to close which one. THe most important is it free.
I will try to fix it as you recommend. Very appreciated your time to help.
Thanks again

Very long boot time after ROM upgrading

Please excuse me for my English, i am not a native English speaker, and also thank you for reading this topic!
I am having trouble upgrading my O2 XDA IIs, I have followed the wiki here at xda-develope, and I also read some other material. Everything go smoothly: Resize the ext rom, flashing the ROM, but it just stuck at the white screen when I try to hard reset the PDA, and only after 4 hours (yes, 4 hours) It showed the align screen & wellcome, but everytime I reset the device (soft or hard) it will take another 4 hours to get in WM.
I have tried AKU 3.5 WM5 Helmi v1.4.CF2 R2(by baniaczek), 1.4 Vanilla version/Clean version and some PDAVIET WM 6.1 ROMs, all with the same result.
So could anyone show me what is wrong with my BA?

what do you mean by white screen? just plain white? or is there something written in it? pardon because i've never had that since i've had my BA.
have you ever gone into and through the hard-reset process?
if you havent... try this procedure.

1. SoftReset
2. When the three color stripes(four including white) appear QUICKLY press and hold Record and Camera button.
3. If a menu appears... (if not softreset again while holding Record+Camera)
use Record To NAVIGATE the three items and Camera to TOGGLE Yes/No
4. Press Mail button to Execute the Instructions.
--> The instruction says that the PDA's screen will turn white for 30 seconds while it is clearing the registry, file etc... But for me, it takes 4 hours

After the fourth step nothing happens...if i soft reset the device it logs into the old OS and freezes often

Yes, I set it to No/Yes/Yes. Well, maybe this is hardware issue, I will have to fix it myself T_T

am i missing something?

just rec my diamond. all i can get on is windows 6 anybody help

Please elaborate. Your post, as it stands, does not make much sense to me....
Anyone else?

sorry i mean there is no fancy screen like weather, internet etc.just green windows

Strange.....make sure TF3D is enabled as a today-plugin. Start>Settings>Today>Elements>tick TF3D (rough translation from German ROM).
If it´s not there, installation might have been interrupted when you first turned it on - hardreset may help.

thanks looks like a hard reset sorry complete novice how do i reset

READ THE MANUAL!
Off the top of my head I believe it should be: hold down "Volume Down" plus "Enter" Key, press the reset button while still holding down above buttons. Let go of the reset button and follow the on-screen instructions....
When it boots back up, let the machine do it´s job after the calibration screen. The device will install a few apps (Opera, TF3D, HTC Phone skin etc.) and reboot automatically. If everything goes well, you should be up and running in a couple of minutes....

thanks for the help looks like a 2 man job to reset will take to orange let them sort it thanks anyway

[Need Help]Return to "Standard"-Keyboard from EzInput

Hi Guys,
i have just installed this CAB: BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_4.cab
But i would just prefere the "old" Touch HD Keyboard/Keyad etc.
How can i get them back? Because as far as i have seen BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_4.cab replaces them :-(
Is there any CAB out there (already searched but found nothing) or can anyone send me the files for the old Keyboards (Keypad, conpact Qwertz, complete Qwertz)
Thanks a lot,
BigD

Does uninstall and soft reset not bring the old keyboard back?
Post #3 HTC Keyboard (old) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482258

Hard reset will restore device to factory settings. i.e. it will be as if you just flashed a rom, everything will have been lost/reset i.e. all software, apps, contacts, emails, everything on device will have been lost except what was on SD card. You will need to set up your device again.
To perform a hard reset:
Turn off device
Hold down volume up & volume down and press power on
Continue to hold volume up & volume down until you are presented with white screen and text.
Follow text intructions and press vol up to reset to factory settings
EDIT
Are you just trying to set original keyboard as default after you uninstalled a keyboard?
If so try going to Start > Settings > Personal > Input and select keyboard
Alternatively install SIP Change and then open it and select keyboard to be used as default

thankyou very much!
so if i copy all my devices contacts etc over to the card with the cabs etc. and reload them onto the phone after the hard reset there will be minimal change i.e. i dont have to fish around for all my contacts again lol.
thanks again in advance
edit: the only reason i want the old one back is that finger keyboard 2.1 has messed it all up. im running windows 6.1 the standard rom. no keyboard will open when browsing web and the keyboard doesnt even open all the time on messages.
again many thanks

sorry again i am a noob...
how do i copy contacts to my card memory, there isnt enough space on the sim card for even half of them and i cant find them in file explorer is there something im missing? its probably an onvious one aswell.
sorry.
cheers

i have installed the sip change now, the keyboard that comes up when selecting keyboard is a dodgy little buttoned non standard one for some reason i think im guna have to reset the device hopefully this will get me the hd touches keyboard back... again sorry just need to know how to get my contact safe before resetting
thanks

When in email, sms etc and keyboard pops up, have you tried selecting up arrow beside the wee keyboard symbol at bottom and selecting different keyboard?
To backup contacts you have a few options. You can either sync contacts with your pc Outlook or use free backup apps like PIM Backup & Sashimi or 3rd party apps like SPB Backup, Sprite Backup & Resco Backup

yes ive tried the switcing input method onto "keyboard" infact ive tried them all to no avail still either this dodgy little crappy keyboard or one of the other input devices, im going to hard reset i think its best. thanks very much ill use the active sinc for it.
you have been a great help tyvm

update a hard reset has sorted this problem i will do more research before installing keyboards in the future many thanks

WM 6.5 - Hate the new start menu - Can I change it back?

Hi All,
Just updated my Touch Diamond 2 to TOM's new WM 6.5 ROM. I'm happy with everything, but the new start menu is a little awkward. Its very small, and it shows everything. I liked HTC's original TouchFlo 'Programs' tab, as this allows me to add shortcuts to the apps I use most, and hide the remaining ones in the "All Programs" soft key.
However, I don't know how to change it so when I click the Start Menu (or the hardware button) it opens the Programs screen. I'm sure its a registry setting, but I don't know which one exactly.
Any help would be appreciated.

I dunno whether this will be the one for you, but it's worth taking a look at:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"EnableManilaStartMenu"=dword:00000001

Thanks, but this doesn't seem to work. Even a reset doesn't change the start menu behaviour.
Can anyone else help?

hard reset?
as the title ...

How about this one:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"EnableStartMenu"=dword:00000001
(perhaps in conjuction with the other one)
