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
I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.
which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626
The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.
Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C
Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos
I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?
Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Very well done.
Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....
Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

that's the way to do it. I've been using PPC devices for years and years and everytime I get a new one, I try every hack, reg edit, tweak, and app possible.
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,

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.
well hi, im new here, i got an xda diamond touch, and my problem is that touchflow 3d doesnt start, i get always the windows mobile GUI, how can i start touchflo 3d ?
Sorry to ask the obvious, but you have enabled TF3D, haven´t you?
Start>Settings>Today>Plug-Ins>check TF3D is ticked (rough translation from German ROM).....
thanks for the quick respond, well when i enter today settings there is no touchflow 3d in the plugins only the windows stuff
Now that´s strange.....what ROM are you using? Standard HTC or some provider branded ROM? Thsoe ROMs usually contain the TF3D files - they are installed when you first boot up the device. It´s possible to supress that installation by doing a soft reset quickly after the initial display calibration screen....maybe that´s what happened?
If you haven´t done too much tweaking/installing you might try the old hard reset (you´ll loose all your settings/programs etc., that you have already installed). If you don´t want to do that, maybe someone else has got a better idea how to revive your TF3D.....
ok i have done a softreset yet, but didnt helped, now will try with a hardreset hmmm
Zida2k said:
yeah i have a O2 branded rom, how can i do a softreset ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Have you had a look at the manual yet???
Soft reset: either press the red button in the stylus hole with the stylus, or long press the power key to shut down the device and then restart it - same effect.
Hard reset (reset back to how it was when you received the device): Push and hold "Volume Down" Key + "Enter" Key, push the reset button in the stylus hole while keeping the above buttons pressed, release the reset button and answer the onscreen questions.
When the device boots up after the hard reset you should be taken to the display calibration screen. After that the device will show you a quick countdown before installing additional apps (TF3D, phone skin, Opera, etc., depending on the ROM you are using). When installation is finished (do NOT interrupt it!), the Diamond will automatically soft reset. After that you really should have your TF3D installed and working.....
ok thanks but what should i do, restore manufacturer default or restore manufacturer default and format movinand?

The "format" option also formats your internal storage (your device´s hard disk, so to speak), so it´s really up to you......by formatting the internal storage you will of course loose all your files on that media (movies, pictures, whatever you´ve already put there) and have to copy it over again.....
wow seems its working, thank u so much michi really THANK U
You are welcome! Glad, I could help!

is there a way that i can see the uptime of my Tytn2?
it looks like my tytn2 is (soft)resetting itself.
i had a few times now that i had to enter my PIN again. So when it happens again i want to look at the uptime.
Does anybody know if this is possible, ether by installing software or by default in Windows Mobile(6.1).
after some more searching i desided to look for a program to display uptime, pitty that windows mobile doesnt have it itself.
I tried 2 programms now, but they both are not giving the correct time after some time.
Till now i tried uptime meter and myuptime.
If anybody knows one that works correct with WM6.1!?
I used this for a long time: http://ae.inc.ru/uptime.php
AEBplus also has a "status" screen that will display it: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I'll check this out too, I'm always curious how long the phone has been up myself. No negative effects from this program I assume?
I wrote a MortScript to record bootup time at startup, but never got around to writing something to then compare current time to the last recorded time to get uptime.

Never seen any... I've been using the Uptime plugin since my Wizard days about 3 years ago. Now that I use AEBPlus for my hardware key shortcuts I removed the plugin as it was redundant.
I find the "uptime since last full charge" even more interesting... and it has helped me troubleshoot problems with programs running in the background several times. Look at uptime, put phone in standby, wait 5mins, turn on and check again - uptime should not have changed, or at least a lot less. If it has, some program is preventing the phone from standing by...
At some point I found out S2U2 would cause the phone to log about 2 hours of uptime overnight, at least I could understand why my battery life had gone down and got rid of it...

Never used AEBPlus, does that allow you to "pop up" Today plugins at the press of a key? I discovered when I tried to install the program today, it doesn't show up in SPB Pocket Plus, and I have no room on my today screen outside of it. I could maybe do SecondToday, but that seems like a lot for this.. Oh well.

AEBPlus runs as a program in the background with program setup in start menu\programs, the program allows you to allocate up to 4 programs and functions like up time, backlight etc to hardware buttons, so you can map any program in start menu.
Just an eg as i have set:
Hardware key
Start:
single press: start menu
double press: Total Commander
tripple press: Task Manager
Longpress: Backlight
Internet:
Opera Mini
Opera Mobile
Skyfire
Uptime
Messaging:
Messaging
Mobilepad
galarm
Touch Calendar
OK:
Ok/Close
Wi-Fi
BT on long
PTT:
Taskfacade
Nodata
Sat Nav on long
So i hardly ever have to go anywhere near the Start\Programs group as anything else like Media is Start Menu.
All in all makes phone very user friendly

wth, HOW did I miss this program. I used to do exactly this in PalmOS, I think I could triple-load each key, but this you can do four actions per key. Now my problem will be forgetting which is which!
And what's funny is after I got finished setting all the overloaded applications on the buttons, I then realized "oh, this was to get uptime, where is that?" and finally added it to a button too.
Thanks!

Glad you like & got it tweaked, makes me wonder why M$ doesn't make things user friendly in the first place? "we all know the answer to that"
Know what you mean about forgetting, everything has become second nature to me now "mind u found it a test of mem writing it down"
Oh yeah in the install directory is a .cfg file back it up somewhere so if you ever flash again or have to hard-reset you don't have to set everything up again
Read first
little advice for those of you, like me, who like to download and install before reading. do not install the free version of aebplus on your kaiser, program won't work, and you will have to do hard reset to bring back some of your hardware buttons.
You need to use the current version (2.6.6), and simply leave it unregistered. I don't really know why he leaves that 4-year old 1.0.1 version available.
excellent, it works great, thanks.
AE Button Plus is nice, but it just causes problems for me. It's entirely possible that it's a combination of the other programs installed, but I'm having a few issues
Sometimes buttons are being completely ignored, or very slow to respond.
StyleTap doesn't receive remapped button presses at all
Scrolling with the volume button seems to randomly lock up the PPC requiring me to pull the battery (soft reset won't do)
Soft resets in general are very finicky, having to do them multiple times for the phone to finish booting
All of which went away after I uninstalled. Oh well... Maybe there's some alternative program. For now, I'm back to using the Buttons function in SPB Plus which allows me to add "Hold" to each button.

Strange i imagine it is something else that is affecting AEButton Plus, i'm running M2D the only issue did have was with regards to OK button, wanted to map long press to Wi-fi and double to BT for convienience, but found that Wi-Fi would be very much a pop shot on load but double press and all fine.
(nothing against aebuttonplus here.. but u do have to register it, and its meant to handle button assignments) lets bring this thread back on topic shall we. showing device uptime.
I wrote a mortscript that shows you the current uptime... it does exactly what your looking for without having to install a whole program to do it (assuming you have mortscript installed already)
