Man. Is there really no way to get a fully silent mode? Meaning no vibrate either.

you have to go through the settings menu, you can't do it from the home screen. Read it in a review.
Yes you can, on your home screen press volume up or down and you'll see a bell icon on the upper right hand side. Press it and it will turn into vibrate mode.
Hope this helps.

Man, got it now. Had to turn "Vibrate" off. Guess I missed that option.

Yeah, I had found that. But, that wasn't completely silent as the phone still vibrated. Either way, I got it now.

I just got my Kaiser and am playing with it and noticed one annoying thing so far.
The screen will turn off during a call and I have to hit the "power" button to get it to come back on.
Is this normal? This is the first PPC Phone that does that to me and I haven't been able to figure out what program to adjust to make it stop behaving like that.
Thanks!
I have read about this at 2 other places. It's a feature I think and it's 'solved' by using the scroll button untill the screen gets dark again

You need to change the backlight settings.
I've adjusted it, but the backlight doesn't dim. The screen goes out entirely and you have to use the power button for it to come back on.
Normally when the backlight dims, touching any part of the screen will resume the normal brightness. When this blanks the touchscreen is "off".

from what ive read it seems to be a feature to save battery life and keep you from accidentally pressing buttons on the touchscreen with your ear. i dunno if there is a way to shut it off though
I can see how it would prevent me from messing with the keys and all that. It's fine when I'm on the call, but its annoying when I listen to my voicemail and then go to hit keys to do something and realize I need to hit the power button first .

Then check your Power settings.
This is a known bug...
Hopefully HTC will be addressing this issue - for those experiencing it, no backlight, power, or software app, or any other settings have been discovered (as of yet) to eliminate it.

FYI: I found that modifying the DWORD stored in:
Code:
\HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0" will leave the screen on long enough for voicemail use (probably falling back to the backlight/power settings)...

Kind of.
\HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\LockLevel\
Change LockLevel to what ever value you want the backlight set to when your device is locked.

Thanks Jason,
I tried that before and when I change the value to "1", it completely dims out my phone and I haven't even locked it. Any suggestions?

try 4. That should be 4 notches up on the backlight slider in the control panel.

And may I ask how one accomplishes this? I have no idea how to edit the REG in Windows mobile.
Thanks!!
Do a search for PHMregedit, it's a good, free, mobile editor.
Does anyone have experience in configuring FakeCursor?
I've kind of got it to work so far, I've assigned a hardware button to launch FakeCursor via it's shortcut, however when I press the button again to turn FakeCursor off it always goes back to the Home screen, which is annoying.
What I'd like to be able to do is just have one button which turns the cursor on and the same button to turn it off? Any ideas how I could get that configured?
Cheers
try sphelper, this is i think better...

I have it mapped with Long_Home.lnk. The cross-hairs will appear for a second, then disappear and only reappear when you move it (with the directional pad).
Hold home to turn it on, hold home to turn it off (it will put you back on the home screen when it exits, this is a [poor] function of FakeCursor).

That's exactly how I have it configured . I was wondering if there was a way it wouldn't dump you back to the home screen, but it seems not?

I'm pretty sure that is a function of FakeCursor, not the mapping. It would be nice, but FakeCursor hasn't been updated for several years.
i didnt know where to post this.. but is there a way by touching the screen or pressing buttons on the dpad and waking it up from sleep mode
and after while the backlight on the buttons below the screen, go off. is there a way that when i slide the screen that those buttons light up also
thx if u could help. i tried googling but couldnt find anything

lol alright
pressing the power button on the side?
Surely it's not a good idea to wake your kaiser up by touching the screen? As soon as you put it in your pocket it'll wake up again? That's why companies make it slightly more complex to unlock the phone...
Here's a silly question,
How do I tell if the N1 is off? Without turning it on?
There have been several times where I've turned it off for the night (force of habit), and later couldn't remember whether or not I had in fact turned it off...
Of course hitting the power button only turns it on if it was in fact off... meaning that I have to wait a whole boot cycle before shutting it down again.
Am I missing something here?

YES the correct forum.. Nexus One Q&A
For all your questions about the Google Nexus One
... but in answer to your Q, perhaps a momentary press of the power button when it is OFF will not turn it on. There fore it is OFF?

Use the trackball to wake mod. Then you can just hit the trackball, if nothing, the phone is off .
Hit the volume keys...
dang, absolutely correct. moved to other forum.

So recieved the device this morning, everything all good coming from a X2 Pro, however one weird issue I currently have (am on latest firmware) is that the holding the power button does nothing regardless of how long I hold it for, so I can't turn it off or restart. Double tapping it works fine and pressing once to unlock etc, so it's not a hardware issue, is anyone else having this? Firmware is CPH2305_11_A.16
Welcome to android 12 --- volume up + power (2s hold) = the new power button .... don't ask... google did it!
I'm guessing Google think people don't switch their phones off.
Very annoying

Actually this is OPPO's fault.
On Pixel 6 Pro "power key to launch assistant" can be disabled and then power menu is back when you long-press power key.
On Find X5, the option just disables assistant launch and no option to restore power menu...
That's so annoying and unnecessary. I'm also struggling to find a vibrate only mode. I can't believe a 1075 quid handset can't do the basics.

There is...
In the notification quick access it's the bell. That turns on silent mode. If you long press to go into the options one of the tick boxes is to vibrate on silent mode. So that's your vibrate only. Once it's set you can literally just then use the bell quick button to go between ring and vibrate

Thanks. That's helpful. Is it possible to pull this onto the home screen as a toggle rather than swipe down each time from to access?
