[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbaker76:
yes mate, i've been battling with it all morning. There is no vibration or tone for sms. Ringtone is fine.

If someone can provide the original registry values for that portion perhaps it will work again. I already tried putting it to 0 instead of 15, still no joy, here are the tweka sthat the cab does:

New Message:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]

"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15

Missed Call:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D660-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]

"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15

Voice Mail:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877 D661-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]

"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15

Will a hard reset fix it? surely yes?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
Of course a hard reset will fix it but it is an extreme option.

I just set them like yours, no change after soft reset. Do you use bsb tweaks to apply that or did you use the cab? or manual?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
I usually just edit my registry by hand using TotalCommander.

If it's a tweak that I apply after every hard reset then I tend to make my own cab using CERegistryEditor (i.e. export .cereg file then convert it to a cab)

In BSBTweaks I have

Message Notifications : On

Voice Mail Notifications: On

Call Notification: On

Reminder Notifications: Off
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbaker76:
i don't know what has happened here but a hard reset is my only option now.

Question, in bsb tweaks, when you activate the led notification (which is on by default in the rom anyway) does this make the greyed out duration option active?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mano75:
Dude, do some search...;) The answer was 2 pages before. Look at my post: #1434. In the code part, you'll see what you need.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
I'm using a modified ROM (see signature) and I think the chef has enabled all the options by default anyway. This is never something that I have to tweak after a hard reset. I just run BsBTweaks and flick a few switches for other settings and all is well.

Maybe you've accidentally changed some other reg entries. A hard Reset might be the way forward.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonbaker76:
i used the cab! changed the message led notification to 60 mins and then it was gone!

i did a search a few others have had it with no answers !

oh well, good job i update evry night with myphone and all my cabs are on the storage card. There must be a reason that the duration is greyed out anyway. I'm on stock rom 1.66, i'll hard reset, check the tone is back. install bsb, turn it on change to duration, and see if it works that way, perhaps there is something wrong with the cab.

Will report back later, must do some work lol

Be carefull with owner information

Guys, one of the tips talks about return the Owner Info into the Setttings --> Personal folder, but if you keep the automatic lock screen when the unit goes to Stand By and you configure the Owner information's tab Options to display the owner information when the device is turned on, you will need to reset the unit to put it back to normal every time the HD2 goes to Standby, so do NOT select the that option if automatic lock screen is still selected.

About the tips, I read a lot of HD2's reviews where they said "the bad thing is that the Windows Mobile is still there", but looks like the ones that we like the WM we want to have it unchanged!!

Peter (and anyone else), by instead showing the link to the .cab file it then allows others to see not only information relating to that .cab file but further updates.

HOWTO: Turn off display while making a call

One thing I found irritating about my new HD2 was when i powered off the screen, it hung up the call >duh< .. So I looked around for a solution, because I didnt want my screen on while holstered, with me on a bluetooth headset. At first, my only solution was to set the brightness timeouts to a lot shorter than I liked, and just wait it out until it turned itself off. But then.. I found a way that works for me.

The way to do this is to download and install TO YOUR DEVICE (not the storage card) the .exe (command line) version of XDA-Shutdown, which can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=544016. Then download the attached file, and unzip the single 'long_send.lnk' file to your /Windows folder .. Now when you hold down the [SEND] key, the display screen will turn off :) This is a shortcut to the XDA-Shutdown file with the '/lightsout' parameter. Hope this helps...

This is only possible, if these files are "overwritten" ROM files.

You can check with Resco Explorer by clicking on Properties at those files.

If they show a checkmark at ROM, there's no copy to delete.

Also be sure that Opera is not running in background while you are trying to delete, otherwise it will fail. Use FDC Taskmanager or similar to doublecheck and in case of running, stop process first, before trying to delete the file.
