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

Registry and Spb Pocket Plus

Hi Guys,
I've a problem with Spb Pocket Plus and with the default settings of my TyTN II.
I'll try to explain, because my ROM is in italian and I don't know how to translate them in english.
So, these are the facts:
I've installed the Trial version of Spb Pocket Plus 4.0.1 and I've checked the option to override the default X close button as you can see in pc_capture1.jpg.
Then I deselected it and reenabled from Settings - Buttons the two default items as you can see in pc_capture2.jpg.
But as I can try on my device, after a soft-reset, I can't see in the upper right of the screen the item that can let me choose to see and eventually close the applications running on the device pc_capture3.jpg
Now my question is: what is the registry key that I have to (re)set so I can reenable that functionality overriding that ugly settings from Spb Pocket Plus (that I've deinstalled but without success in resetting the item I need)?
Yes, I know it's difficoult to understand that pictures that are in italian, but if someone can help me, I'll be glad with him/her.
Bye,
ghale.

I know this dosen't really help because you seem to be talking a different avenue than I did... but I had to totally uninstall to get the HTC X back. There is a CAB for the HTC task manager that you might install and see if it over rides the SPB settings...?
Sorry.

If you have both Pocket Plus and the HTC Close Button app running at the same time, your results aren't likely to be good. Either disable the Close Button in Settings, or shut down PP's close button in it's settings, and then soft reset. If that doesn't work, remove Pocket Plus (your settings should be preserved) and reinstall.

Done.
I've the same problem.
Thanks, btw.

Does "Done." mean that you did it and the problem was fixed or that it's still there? Tough to tell from your last post.

Simply means that the problem was NON solved.
So I've reinstalled Spb and I'm trying to use the Spb method to close the application, instead of the HTC one.
I've tried also to install the HTC Task Manager, from 1.51 to 2.00, overwriting the ROM files, too, but without success.
I've tried a lot of time, but no solution.
If someone has other info, please let us know.
Bye,
ghale.

Go to settings - system - task manager - button and make sure both boxes there are unchecked. I run Pocket Plus (3.2 upgraded recently to 4.0) without an issue. If that doesn't resolve the problem, it may be something else you're running.

You might try posting your question(s) on the SPB forums. Mods there are most responsive to issues, especially with newly released versions of their software.

soft key re-mapping issue

hey guys, as you know, the left soft key is mapped for the calender, and i had no issue with it. i used the program in dutty's #7 rom to change it to something else (htc action button).. however, i decided to change it back to calender, and now every time i try to open the calender through the left soft key i get the following error message:
"The file "HTCCalendar" cannot be opened. either it is not sined with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persisits, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
whats going on? thanks
omar

Use a registry editor and go to the following key:
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
Change the value of "open" from HTCCalendar.exe to calendar.exe - there is no HTC version of the calendar application, but the soft key changer seems to think there is!
Mark.

hey thanks for your help, i did what you said, and now it gives me the same error message but with Calendar instead of HTCCalendar. ha u know whats going on? thanks

Does your registry key look like this?
\windows\LSK\calendar.exe
If so, look in your LSK folder in Windows via Explorer and I'll bet you'll find it's empty. Mine was and I had the same error as you. All I did to fix it was remove the LSK\ from the registry. Soft reset and it should work, mine does.

Yeah...what he said
Sorry, I forgot to say you had to remove the "LSK" bit from the path in the registry key.....it was late and I was tired OK
Hope it's working now!
Mark.

hey guys, worked perfectly, thanks for all ur help!

I just noticed this fix doesn't stick and will be wiped out during a SR. Maybe it's something I've done wrong.
EDIT: Memmaid was causing this problem during a Quick Clean operation.

Help!! Under Start.... Settings disappeared!!

Please help... just noticed that under Windows Start menu...Settings disappeared... can't (re-) configure my Kaiser anymore!!!!
Please advice how to solve this...
Many thanks in advance

Cees

Silly question...
...but have you tried a soft reset?

Open windows explorer and navigate to \Windows\Start Menu. Do you have 2 folders called "Programs" and "Settings"?
If the settings folder is missing, just create a new folder and name it Settings then soft reset. Your settings menu under Start Menu should then magically return!
If you have both folders already, then I have no idea whatsoever why your settings menu under start has disappeared! Someone else will be along shortly to assist!

Thanks a lot Steve... that did the job!!! First it failed, made the folder Settings but it disappeared after a soft reset.... Then I realized... I have a Dutch OS.. (hate it) so created a folder Instellingen.... And... voila... have my settings back.
Thanks again.

I helped someone, and learned a foreign word! So a cool day all round
I did the very same thing once. Not nice the blind panic feeling is it?!
Thanks for letting us know it worked!

Start -> Settings = Soft Reset

Hopefully someone may have encountered this before and have a quick solution. I recently installed the Resco Keyboard and since then when ever I select Start -> Settings it causes the phone to soft reset.
I have tried moving the Resco Keyboard folder to another name, but the keyboard is still loaded at startup and I can't remove it because Start -> Settings causes the reset.
I have searched for simlar threads, however have been unsuccessful in finding a solution, if I have missed it, please point me towards the correct thread.
Thanks!

I have had a problem with Resco KB before, but not like yours..
the kb was really buggy, so I uninstalled it.. but the kb icon won't go from the kb menu...
I had to dig through the registry and delete any entry that had to do with Resco kb...
I would suggest that you do the same.
another thing might help: try opening the notes and choose the default kb, then try to go to the settings menu.
you might also try Tweaks2k2 (or any similar program) to set your default kb to something else but Resco keyboard.
cheers

Connect the phone to the PC, and uninstall Resco KB from the menu in activesync?

Maybe a simple solution
Just go to start -->programs --> file explorer
Navigate to /windows/startup and delete the resco command from the startup process. Hopefully this helps ya

Thanks for your suggestions, I have managed to get rid of Resco, which I was sure was the issue...
Unfortunately this hasn't resolved the reboot issue when clicking on start -> settings.
If anyone else has a suggestion for fixing this it would be much appreciated!
Thanks for your help...

Well, if you can access the device, i would now back up all of your data and perform a hard reset. Too much trouble trying to narrow the issue down. Sounds like something in the registry was damaged.

Unfortunately this sounds like what I am going to have to do...
Guess I'm in for a busy night fixing up my PDA and loading 1 app at a time to make sure this issue doesn't return!!
thanks for the suggestions everyone, it is much appreciated.
