problems with registry - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

hi all when i try and use a registry editor and try and change a value i get the message access denied
cannot write value data!
try again
can any one shed some light on this problem?
TIA

anyone?
its starting to p**s me off now

What editor are you using?
I use Resco Explorer and it's a simple case of using modify to change the value in question.
Used it since first acquiring the Diamond a month ago with no special tweaks or authorizations... in much the same way I've used it for the last 4 years without any problems on my iPAQ4700.
Tell us a bit more about what and how you're using it, and someone who uses your editor might be able to help you.

hi mate thanks for the reply i'm using cereg editor worked ok the first time i used it but now for some reason i keep getting the message

Mmmmm, not familiar with cereg, but since you've had it working ok, it seems you've done something to scupper it. Try uninstalling it and reinstalling it maybe?! Should at least restore its default settings if its cereg you've broken. If it's not cereg, then your problem might be deeper and hiding in a pear shaped tweak you've inflicted along the way
If nothing works, give Resco Explorer a whirl... worth a try before a dreaded hard reset. If I remember rightly you can install it for a timed trial.
Good luck.

its a pc based app and you explore the phone from the pc it all happened after i installed kaiser then uninstalled it i think

Now beyond me as far as problems relating to Kaiser install/uninstall. Time to get a pda based editor and see how you go I reckon.
Anyway, fingers xxd you won't need to HR... but sometimes it's the only way when you keep tripping over problems like this.

cheers mate it worked a treat

voicecmd.exe not found

Hi
Just flashed my rom with bal666's splash editor, which is so easy to use.
Then restored my data using xBackup for the 1st time when it came to softreset i got an error saying
'Cannot find 'VoiceCmd' (or one of its components)'
Does this file belong to Microsofts Voice program or something else and whats the best way of fixing the error now and to stop it happening again on the next restore.
Thanks
fixed problem.
it was microsoft voice but i don't know why it happened
thanks
voicecmd.exe issue on htc touch diamond
I dont know how i managed to do it, but even after upgrading to latest official ROM, i deleted something and then I started getting "voicecmd.exe" errors every time the phone started up. My fix was to install Microsoft Voice Commander. This worked but i found that I was using memory for a program I dont use, or didnt seem to work out of the box.
It might be a great thing, but i havent lost any time trying to learn how to use it, and even without it, voice speed dial works normally/perfectly and allows to start not only a call to a contact (you still need to record the voice tags) but also to start applications.
If anyone out there has decided to remove microsoft voice command, like i did, then you should use a tool like sktools to find invalid registry keys and you will find the key by searching on sktools registry tool, for "voicecmd".
I should have taken note of the path but i can tell at least that the word "startup" is in it.
Anyway, removed key, phone starts faster and hey, nothing like 50% used memory!
Screw TF3D and thumbs up for handy weather!
Btw, love my HTC Touch Diamond...
how did you fix it guys ?

New WM6/Tilt user, please help!

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?

Install/Run untrusted application - final solution?

Hello,
For the past few days the (from what I gather) well-known problem of not being able to install or run an 'untrusted' application has been plaguing me. However, I've been searching here and googling around for a long time now with no result...
Been using Dutty's 5.2.19199 (WM6.1) and I really didn't change any setting! So what gives? Any ideas?Basically, how do I get the prompt back (the one during installation)?
Thanks in advance!

Check your registry settings! Use KaiserTweak or Schaps' AdvanceConfig!
Yes, I know it must be something in the registry, but what? And, I thought of Tweak and AdvanceConfig but -guess what? They're not authenticated! Argh!

If you are technical, try this: Download KaiserTweak's latest XML file and open the file in Notepad. Then see what registry key(s) is(are) modified for this tweak.
Ah now - that's a great idea! But, do you know of any PC-based registry editor, since I cannot install one on my TyTNII?
If you're really technical, you can follow through with cmonex's way found here.
If not, search for dot fred task manager, which includes a great *FREE* registry editor amongst other tools, much better than PHM Reg Editor, imo....
Whoa, thanks a bunch. I'll try the task manager first (found here, btw), but I'm not sure if I'll be able to run it either - the whole system seems VERY restricted! I'll try to make heads from tails with the instructions in the other thread. Thanks so much!
Btw, I do seem to remember a program that allowed you to edit the PPC's registry from Windows PC, anyone remember that?
Thanks again guys - much, much appreciated!
You can run the untrusted app, i.e. Advanced Conig. Just select yes. Then make the changes.
BTW, to view the xml, just Open notepad on pc & drop the xml in the notepad window.
No I can't that's my problem - it just flat refuses to run it, it doesn't give me the prompt.. that's why I'm asking for a PC-based registry editor!
Anyhow, I'll try it today and will let you know if I manage it!

Here is another PC based mobile registry editor. Simple to use and works well. Havent found any serious problems with it
Yes, I'm trying this right now
Btw, the registry setting seems to be:
HKLM\Security\Policies\Policies\0000101a
Value=1: disabled
Value=0: enabled
Desc.:Enable or disable the warning you get when opening a program that is not digitally signed

The problem with this cab (and another one I had found) is that, once the mobile goes berzerk, you can't install it because, of course, it's unsigned... Catch 22! Thanks anyway - and, by the way, superb site, added to my RSS aggregator at once!
Anyhow, I just applied the reg tweak (set to 0), reset, thing asks me to verify running unsigned start-up programs, I OK them, and then... still same problem! What the heck? There doesn't seem to be any other tweak...

It has to be set to 1 for disabling.. You set to 0?
Regards,
Carty..
Yes, I set it to 0; it was set to 1 (probably an earlier KaiserTweak session), but I actually wanted to get the prompt so that I could tell it that f*cking yes, I want to run/install the app!
Anyhow, been switching between 0 and 1 with no effect... Feel a hard reset coming on, but it's weird because I've found quite a few posts around (not necessarily here) and no solution...
Got the same problem after a white screen after hardspl, but changing the registry worked for me. Thanks, now I can try jumpspl.

Suddenly can't change input methode anymore

I can't choose my input method anymore. I selected the normal keyboard, and when I click te small arrow to select another method the keyboard just dissapears.
The only way to change it now is to use the program SipChange I found on this board but I would like to know how I can enable the "quick" switching again.
I looked into HKCU\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange and the value is "1"
I really don't want to hard-reset because I just spend a whole afternoon configuring my Diamond and installing apps
Good news is that it is definitely a registry issue. I had the same (arrow should activate HTC custom thumb sized menu of SIPs, but does nothing) and a simple registry restore (spb Backup) fixed it. So, no idea what registry key the issue was (also checked AllowChange first) but it's there somewhere...
Not sure what caused it tho; installed TouchPal several tiems, but when I reinstalled after fix it was all good so can't blame TouchPal just yet...
Yeah I don't have a registry backup
For now I'm using sip changer but it's not very easy so I hope I can get it fixed without hard-reset
Anyone? It's starting to get very annoying working like this
This just happend to me too One minute it worked, then it dident.
Anyone have a fix yet?

Don't believe I've changed much on my phone since it was last working correctly.

Calendar Problem

Anyone else have the issue where no matter what I set as my default calendar view, when I open it up it automatically goes to "Agenda" view?
It opens in Month, but ehn immediately changes to Agenda...very annoying I think
Anyone else experienced this? Any solution?
Cheers
Not something I've come across myself, but I'd advise setting the preferences the way you want it then making sure the Calendar app is properly closed (as opposed to just minimised) using the Task Manager to try and get your preferred settings to 'stick'. It's probably worth doing a quick soft reset at that point as well just to be on the safe side.
I must have changed the settings a million times - like I say though, the weird thing is it starts in month mode but changes then to agenda...
Also dont seem to be able to get the phone name to stick - keeps changing to htc_593 or some numbers...
ah well!
Actually, I've just noticed if I open it through programs it does stay on month, it's only if I open it from the today screen...must just be the way it's set up.
Try a search because this topic has been covered before and a tweak was suggested

let me guess... T-Mobile user?
i had the same in my mda c4 (polish dependent operator ERA). nothing worked. just one remedy: GET THAT S..T OFF!
i dont understand why they love that useless Agenda view? maybe it's good for corporate users, i dont know. and i dont care it.

did YOU really know the solution for this problem ?
a tweak was suggested? did you really use search function yourself ? did the tweak remedies the problem ??

I do not have any problem with this so don't need a tweak. However I can remember a few weeks ago reading about somebody else who did suggested something that he said solved it. If I had tried it or remembered it I would have explained it in my post
However you seem a keen and helpful poster ever willing to help others so why don't YOU try it. Or maybe come up with some other really positive suggestion
