Setting default input and keeping it.

Ok I have searched and not run across anything without reading every thread in here.
How do I change my default input method from keyboard to letter recognizer and MAKE it stick.
I change it i the input menu and reg edits but every time I soft reset it is back.

...we're on the same boat :?

I'm after the phone pad so I can still use the 8125/Wiz screen as a normal phone keypad at times and not have to whip out the stylus.

whatever you do, dont use registry wizard to set it... I white screened a week ago doing that, hard reset

hope to find a solution

Perhaps this:
HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP
DefaultIM {42429667-.... or one of the others {42429690- {42429691-
Look in the neighborhoud HKCR\CLSID\{424296...... for the others.
Cheers
edit: In case it wasn't clear you need to fill in the whole CLSID in the DefaultIM string value. So {42429667- including the } at the end.
It should work after a soft reset (gone with a hard reset)

Any Solutions to this yet?
Thanks

I'm on a Charmer, I used to able to change the Letter Reg SIP as default before I upgraded my ROM. I thought I'm the only one.

i'm triing to change the reg value with total commander and with wizard reg but after a restart the phone hang on white screen... someone can help me?
i want to use nullkb as default probably is not possible?

yes but i make a hard reset after the first try (manually change registry with tcmd) and i try in another way...white screen in every try

lost in translation...
I was saying that if you TRY to use registry wizard to set it, you will get a white screen, and be left having to HARD RESET....

Not the best solution, but perhaps you could use my program SwitchSip to change the SIP on every soft reset. I don't know if it'll stick though, I've never tried...

thanks i try with your program, i never search the forum enough if i don't found your post.
i don't know why there is no possiblity to change default IM in the WM configuration.

I think we've all tried the method. Read the posts above carefully.

Just as a problem recap: the default SIP reghack no longer works on AKU2 ROMS. The kbd default occurs after a soft reset no matter what you have changed the registry value to.
I'm working on this one too. I coded up a program that quickly set the SIP to block recognizer and exited figuring I could just add it to the startup programs folder to switch over after a soft reset.
However, while this program works just great normally, it doesn't change the SIP when run at startup. I am working on why this is, currently. So far I've determined that my program is able to find the block recognizer SIP so the SIP dll is loaded. Tomorrow I may get a few more minutes to work on it. I'll code my program to check to see if it correctly set the SIP to block recognizer and re-attempt to change until it's successful. I'm guessing that this will have no effect on the issue since my current working theory is that the kbd default is set sometime after the startup programs run.

Guys, I don't know whether my app worked or not, but this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=317635#317635
seems to suggest it did. I don't have a wizard to test it on though

@vijay555:
I've got my little app set up on my today screen so I can just tap it quickly after everything's loaded to change my sip but it won't work if I drop it into my startup folder.
Perhaps this is what the poster you refer to is doing? Does your program check the default SIP using SipGetCurrentIM after you switch to see if the operation worked? Or do you just check for an error code after calling SipSetCurrentIM. Me, I'm just checking for an error currently and am not getting one.

Sleuth255: I really can't remember how I did it, I wrote it in c++ before I could program in c++, somehow. I'm on a promise to rewrite it sometime, and turn it into VJSipSwitch, for now it's merely a bastard child.
However, despite this, it's also designed to be configured as a shortcut to be launched from a hardware key or shortcut... if it becomes an issue, I'll look over the code again.

Modifying the Registry Does not stay

I am trying to modify the registry (do not wnat the SIM contacts to show). Well strangely anought if I modify it I see the effect right away even without restarting. But once I restart (Power Down & Power up, or soft reset) the reg change reverts to the original setting. I know this was a problem on some smartphones you needed to modify some kind of registry setting to get it stick, but that also meant that your Device ID (for TOMTOM e.g.) would change as well... Anyone ??

Sure that you did power-down and -up?
What you describe sounds like a soft-reset; the changes won't stick.
Do your change, save it , power down by hold in the on/off button. That will stick.

1- Change the reg key
2- Close ALL open programs
3- Power down (normally; NOT holding button for long time)
4- Wait at least one minute!!!
5- Power up, and reset after at least 20 sec pause...
Changes should stick then...

I'm not sure why it is, but changing the registry not to show sim contacts sets itself back to its original setting after a reset. I've changed other registry settings and they all stuck. If you notice, in the contacts-->menu-->options you have the option to show contacts only which hides the sim contacts but as soon as you reset your phone they come back there too. Apparently HTC thinks it's important to always see your sim contacts and not have the option to hide them or something.

Moaske!
Thanx but it still does not stick. Funny is though that when I do change the reg key the effect is immediate, on my old Vario II I needed to reset before the change was active, and on the TyTn II the change is effective right away, because after changing I looked in my contacts and al the SIM contacts are gone. But after a reset (following your instruction) the reg key is back to 1.

OK I just changed another reg key (the one that controls the dialer skin) and that one sticks... I think xeno1 is right HTC seem to think that We always want to see our SIM contacts!?
Anyone with a solution ??

I've got an idea, but not quite sure how to impliment it, but it should be pretty easy. If you've noticed, you don't have to do a soft reset after you do a registry settings change, the effects are immediate. Anyone know how to put a file in the startup folder that will just do the registry settings change on boot up?

Ehm...maybe this may be to easily thought up, but exporting a reg key from your reg editor, and placing that file in the startup folder, would that work?

I tried that and as soon as my phone reboots the registry editor opens as if it's importing that key and then shuts back down again but when I open up the reg editor again it's back to 1. I've also tried just going to the reg file in file explorer and clicking on it and still it won't let it change that one key. This is starting to make me really wonder why that key is so important that they need to lock it like that.

Im glad im not the only one with this problem.. guess ill wait for a fix.

waiting for a fix as well...

I have a fix, thanks to NuShrike over at MoDaCo.

Securety pin while using Tomtom

Hi does someone has a solution for the follwing?
I use my Kaiser with Exchange server 2003 and direct push.
Because of that, i have to use the securety pin code on my Kaiser.
When i am using Tomtom now, every 15mins the enter pin screen pops up, and i have to enter my pincode in order to resume navigation...
Is there a way around this???

I believe there is an topic for this problem.
You have to change a registry key.
Don't know wich one that was.
If i find it, i will post it here.
Here it is:
Enable changing password lock time:
In the registry do the following:
\hklm\security\policies\policies\00001023 from 0 to 1.

I did try that. It does work for about 2 days. Then the password screen pops up again.
Also the regkey has automaticly gone back to 0...

Then i think the exchange policy is overruling the device.
I'am sorry then i haven't got an other idea

Forgot WM6 Password(PIN) on Himalaya

Hi, I've got Himalaya with ToFClock's WM6, but I forgot my password it's a 5digit number. Is there way to bypass or crack it somehow? I can't hard reset it cause there's some very important data for me
Thanks
Lukas
Sorry for my bad english..

i think none, hard reset is the only option, had this problem once and there was the absence of replies, so i guess there is no solution to this. there is a password hint though, if you used it.

Well, I'm not sure this is the right way to do it, but cleaning the registry hive helped me alot, and it does not erase data. Just press the camera and the record buttons, reset, and hold them until it show you boot options. Using the same buttons, you should be able to select "yes" or "no" for each setting. Just choose "Clean Registry Hive" "Yes", and make sure the two others are set to "no" (especially "format storage" ). Then just press "enter". You device should start, with an empty windows registry, that means empty settings too. You will then have to configure your phone, but your contacts and messages and data will still be there.

@Ukii hope you learned that making backups is important?
@paulpax thanks for the invitation to your site but I'm not yet impressed, success.

[Q] Wifi key

Hello,
Each time i want to connect to my wifi with my G Note, i must enter the key. As it is a long key, it's boring and not useful. I haven't found anything on the Internet or in the forum. Do someone knows the tip or an app to memorize this key? Thanks in advance.

should remeber it, sounds like something might be corrupt on the file that saves this info

Thanks. In that case, which file is it and is it possible to replace it?

backup your files and hard reset back to factory settings and see if it does it then, it might be someapp you have also installed

Thanks Richy, I finally found what was wrong.... it was me! To connect, I clicked on the ID of my wifi lan in the list, and to disconnet i did the same. I received then a dialog box asking if I want to "forget it" or "cancel". (not sure for the translation by forget it, my android is not in English). Now i know that the "forget it" was about the key. And I discovered that to connect or disconnect it's better to scroll down the notification bar...
