Help PLEASE caps lock indicator

I have modified the registry and added "EnableIndicator" with DWORD 1 and still cannot get this to work
I am using an o2 XDA mini s.
Any thoughts please

do you have CapNotify.lnk in your \Windows\StartUp\ folder ?
It should point to:
32#"\Windows\CapNotify.exe"
If you don't have that link / file there, then modifying the registry won't help
Lastly, are you checking while working with the hardware keyboard, or when using the on-screen keyboard? If you're enabling caps lock with the on-screen keyboard, the indicator won't show up... the on-screen keyboard will readily show caps lock is on, of course.

EnableIndicator doesn't work for me either
I have CapNotify.lnk in \Windows\Startup... it points to \Windows\CapNotify.exe
I created EnableIndicator in the registry with a DWORD value of 1
When I use the hardware keyboard, I get no indicator about caps/symbol status.
Any help?

Just out of the blue, did you soft reset after making your registry changes? Reg changes to a Wizard don't happen immediately, but are forced when you soft reset. Just hold the power button until a warning dialog box pops up, click yes to confirm shutdown, then click the power button again after its off to restart....Might help...

Caps Lock Indicator sometines having opposite effect?
I noticed sometimes that the "C" caps lock indicator sometimes seemed to be on when it should be off, and vice versa - thought it was probably like when a PC keyboard gets off in its indicators, and I'd do a soft reset and then it worked normally - but THEN I found this on a MoDaCo forum post (at http://www.modaco.com/Tip-See-Wizardand39s-Keyboard-Mode-t236896.html) and it all became clear to me:
"Hmmm.... maybe I'm doing something stupid, but it doesn't seem to be working properly for me.
I used BreakSoft's MobileRegistryEditor to edit the registry on my O2 XDA Mini S (with the O2 customisation removed as described at http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=...dpost&p=707087) <http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=235057&view=findpost&p=707087)>.
Now I'm getting the C and dot symbols... but the "C" appears when I'm typing LOWER case. That's not right, is it? :?:
Yes, I was doing something stupid. Why is it you always realise this immediately after posting...
Anyway, seems I had caps-lock turned on in the on-screen keyboard and this was reversing the effect of caps-lock on the physical keyboard..."[endquote]
So NOW, I know that if the "C" is behaving opposite of expected, it is because I left the onscreen soft keyboard in Capitals mode!!

Poorly-responding Keypad

On my Tilt I usually dial via touchscreen using smart dialing on the standard keypad. I've disabled vibrating feedback for keypad presses but it's still abysmally slow and drops keypresses. Any advice?

Try disabling screen tap sound in settings. Check out kaisertweak and it's wiki if you are noting keyboard unresponsiveness in general.

ooo.i have the same problem (i guess). But i have screen taps sounds disabled. i'm a complete newbie with pocket pc, And what exactly to do?

I have already disabled the tap sounds. I have Kaisertweak. Do you have anything in particular you could point out in the wiki for me?

Does your touchscreen work well in other programs? There is a known issue with this.
There are several settings in Kaisertweak listed under TouchFLO for sensitivity/finger pressure/sound and I believe nikagl has recently updated the xml adding extremely high settings for some of these. I think the .exe has also been updated.
Some users have turned off scrolling (TouchFLO/scroller) also in KaiserTweak to get the screen to respond a bit faster - that's a bummer if you like scrolling tho...
Make sure you soft reset after changing these values.
Cheers-

Touch works fine everywhere else. I've disabled TouchFlo and will see if that helps.

I've also read here that you can increase the screen sensitivity threshold, as explained above as follows: With Registry Editor (Resco), go to HKLM/drivers/touchscreen sensitivity something, increase the rate.

The new Mobile Shell 2.0 has its own sort of dialer that works perfectly without lag so it's obviously just bad coding for the standard dialer.

Having used the Shell lookup some more I've decided it's nice but it can't really replace the default dialer because the phone function is central to that screen. Does anyone know of a nice super-crisp dialer that also has smart dial?

Problem with Fitaly and word completion

Hi
I've downloaded the most recent Fitaly but I cant get simple word completion working.
The phone keypad and compact qwerty do give me normal word completion.
The others such as full querty, keyboard and fitaly don't.
I have tried all the settings available but so far no joy.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me
Thanks, Dean

A quick bump so this doesn't disappear into the forum depths.
I'd really like to solve this as I need word completion.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks,Dean

Touch Diamond Text Word Completion Registry Change
IMPORTANT: previously be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to registry changes. What would be best to use for this - total commander or memmaid ( I have both)?
Is there anything to watch out for or is it pretty much follow your nose?
Thanks, Dean

Thanks a heap Manny - you're a fricken genius. Changed the value as you suggested and hey presto, I'm in action again
Once again xda proves to be an invaluable resource - many thanks.
Cheers, Dean

I have Fitaly 5.0 installed in my HTC Diamond. I can use it to enter lower case letter without any problem. However, it just can't enter the capital letter that I press, no matter I press the CAP key to show the upper case keyboard first or when choosing a sentence with some upper case letter in it from the popup menu.
All the upper case letter are displayed as a lower case letter.
For example when I enter “aBC”, it will display “abc” on the screen.

Butler - Using capacitive area as stroke launcher and many more features

I really enjoy this forum since it helps me a lot to increase the productivity with my HTC Touch Pro. I found many useful applications. Unfortunately, after installing a large number of them, I run into the infamous 32 processes limit of Windows Mobile. So I decided to write my own app that combines all the features that I find useful. It is implemented as a Pocket PC service, so it does not require an own process.
Here are the features:
- Better vibration for incoming calls. I found the built-in vibration function very annoying as it vibrates permanently during an incoming call. This extensions vibrates in pulses of 300 ms with a pause of one second when a call is incoming
- SIP changer depending on stylus state. If stylus is out, another soft input panel is selected as if stylus is in. Can be changed via the registry keys StylusInSIP and StylusOutSIP.
- Stroke Launcher. If the finger is stroked from one button to another, an application is launched.Four directions are possible: From home button to accept phone call button and vice versa as well as from back button to reject phone call button and vice versa. The applications can be configured via the RightUpApp, RightDownApp, LeftUpApp and LeftDownApp registry keys. The required length of the stroke can be configured via the GestureMinLen registry key. Unfortunately, the program has to poll HTC's NAV sensor directly in order to not disturb the functionality of the wheel sensor. The sleep time between two polls can be configured with the GesturePollingDelay (in ms). If you use very fast strokes and the device does not react, try to decrease this value.
- Key lock if device is face down. The key lock is activated and the device is powered off if it is turned face down. The key locked is acknowledged by two short vibrations. Key lock can be disabled depending on the foreground window or active process list. Exclude list can be specified via the ExcludedProcesses and ExcludedWindows registry keys. The tolerance for the face down detection can be configured via the FacedownTolerance registry key.
The registry settings for Buttler are stored in HKLM\Software\Butler. Each extension described above can be switched of by setting the EnableFeature registry key to 0.
As I have not much time to react on bugs or feature requests, I have also attached the source code. Fell free to modify my Butler but please publish it here so that we all can benefit from it.
The Butler service is started with the program "StartButler.exe" located in the Windows directory. I call it from a MortScript during device boot. It is important that HTC Touch Flo 3D is already loaded. For some reason, the gsensors can not be initialized if Touch Flo 3D is not loaded. Here is the code I use:
# Wait for TouchFlo3D
While(ProcExists("manila.exe")=0)
Sleep(1000)
EndWhile
# Start the butler
Run("\Windows\StartButler.exe")
Have fun!
Siggie
Change log:
V1.0:
- Initial release
V1.1:
- Reading of the NAV sensor completely rewritten. The sensor is now directly polled. This does not interfere with other programs, so the wheel sensor and the camera is working again.
- EnableFeature registry keys added for switching off each extension individually.

sounds like an excellent program, I'll try it

man, great app. it is totally replacing hbutton, and lets me start using voice commander again. two questions....can you list the other sip layout entries? i really want to use the full qwerty when the stylus is out and in. secondly, is there a way to define a diff lock such as s2u2 and then shut down. either way, the function is fine as is and really, thanks for sharing

I'm interest in Stroke Launcher more than the other apps. is there a chance you can provide a cab for just that portion of your application> I know it's contrary to your original intent (of combining apps) but that's the only one of those apps I really would want so I have the opposite- no desire to install any extra apps even if it's a single process Thanks.

about to give it a shot, sounds great
but i second the request to have s2u2 when put face down

noticed that if you delete the entries for sip, keeping the actual keys though. butler wont start. guess it still needs to check those values i was trying to get it to do nothing to my sip's and just keep full qwerty.
edit** here is the key for full qwerty {36BC8FF6-8241-4c36-ABDE-204885471FEE} and the other keys are all listed under HKCR/CLSID and look like this:
(HTC SIPs)
{198D503A-...} = Phone Keypad
{36BC8FF6-...} = Full QWERTY
{62B00599-...} = Compact QWERTY
(MS Default SIPs)
{42429667-...} = Keyboard
{42429690-...} = Letter Recognizer
{42429691-...} = Block Recognizer
{F0034DD0-...} = Transcriber
Maybe it would be easier to be able to just input the name

Sound great, I'll give it a try as well.
can you make it so that when it face down, the light turn off?

ok i figured out how to change what sip came when
and i turned off "facedown"
only problem is that the smart scroll such as zooming in opera and pics no longer works or autofocus in camera

Great app cannot go unrecognized!
so i downloaded and installed and forgot to make shortcut. A day after i just luanch it using fileexplorer with copy on storage card. Sounds like alot but considering i only reset once a week maybe... its not so bad.
After using it for a half day. I have to admit i was waiting for a way to use shortcuts with out using manilla. I am a RLtoday fan and i dont really use all of manilla features. I LOVE IT. I am considering removing Manilla all together. This has great potential for those of use that want alternatives to manilla.
This should really be placed in essentials.
Thank you.
**BTW cant get screen lock disabled, anyone have more detailed instructions for disabling face down lock?

to disable the lock i set the sensor threshold to 0
in the registry path that was said earlier in the thread

V1.1 available
I have added a new version that fixes the wheel sensor and camera problem. There are also now registry keys available to switch off each feature individually.

ok I dont know what happend but i installed this app and after a restart the keyboard pops up on the splash screen and the phone freezes.. I need a resolution fast. I really dotn want to hard reset. I have a lot of stuff i need back up.... Please help!!!

fuk it. had to hard reset.

any chance on just releasing stroke launcher as a standalone app so we don't need to install all and then disable them? Thanks

Exclude S2U2
How can I disable stroke launcher, when s2u2 is active? I tried to add S2U2(name of DWORD value=0) to ExcludedWindows and s2u2.exe to ExcludedProcesses, but stroke launcher is still active, any ideas?

Great App siggie1970,
Thanks .. I Think The most important thing to do now is to add a User Interface for the configuration..as it kinda hard to do it through the registry
thanks

Wow amazing programs are being released and 09 just started. Great name btw How are resources being used with this program? Since your combining apps perhaps you could work with the guy to incorporate his new alternative to gyrator/ screen tilt app.

that is not the purpose of the program

would it be possible to turn one of the sides into scrolling up and down?
like leave the left up and down for app launching but right side scrolling that would make it pretty much perfect for me
then of course a configurator, although i got it setup but no fun having to change on each new install

It sounds like a great program, thanks! Stroke Launcher, I like that one LOL

Just got a Diamond. Two questions

A) I have a persistent "1" as the leftmost icon in the status icon area, and it wont go away. the official HTC manual for the phone (page 36) does not say anything about numbers showing up there. what does it mean and how do i get rid of it?
B) is there a way to keep the keyboard from popping up on EVERY screen that has an input field? sometimes i just want to look at a screen and touch my way around it. how do i make the default behavior NO keyboard?
C) is there something wrong with my diamond or the G sensor only works in a couple apps (camera, photo browser, opera)? How do i enable it for text msging for example?
thanks in advance. i miss my hermes... that was much easier to use!

Not sure about question 1.
Question 2 there is a registry setting you can change or you can download Diamond Tweak. (Under Keyboard (SIP) there is an option for Automatic display) disable this).
The diamond doesn't natively support Landscape mode therefore you need to download an app like Gyrator to make this happen.

thank you thank you matty. #2 is really the most important Q.
