You need to add a new access point into connections... more precisely:

24. Enable LED Notification Setting in Sound and Notifications

If you want your LED to flash when you have a new message, missed call or voicemail.. well you can't as it is greyed out. However the following registry entries can be modified to enable them or use the cab at end of post. Reset after changes.

New Message:

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

"AvailableOptions"=dword: change to 15

After that I have no sound notification for incoming sms,how can I restore to the default ?

Thanks

39. Speed Up Web Page Loading Considerably

The following registry tweak will enable almost instantaneous web page loading in the web browser. It apparently enables wireless N mode but seems to work with cellular data too. Go to:

HKLM/Comm/BCMSDDHD1/Parms

11nModeDisable = Change from 1 to 0

I found that mine was already set to 0, are you sure it isnt supposed to be other other way around?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audio Oblivion:
No... setting it to one would mean the value is true, therefore disabling 11nMode.

Setting to 0 means value is flase therefore enabling 11n mode.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mallman:
ok gotcha. hmmm, well that is odd that mine was already flagged on and i have never touched it. Also, i never noticed the pages loading extra fast, at least not any different than anything else i put on wifi at 11g, i would be interested in hearing anyone's feedback on this actually doing anything. My router doesn't let me see what i am connected at so maybe someone can report back if theirs shows an N connection and if they see a difference.

I did a speed test which didn't show a difference with it on or off (actually was higher with it off), but that is expected since i don't have 55mb internet anyway (54 would be the limit of G, 55 would be tapping N), i have 30mb so in theory i shouldn't see a change with either setting. At least not download speeds. Correct me if i am wrong here please. Technically the only difference i should see is access internal resource on my network that are also connected at N.

N Enabled - 1407 kbit/sec

Regain 7 mb free space in storage memory

1) Just delete Opera9.exe and OperaL.exe files from Windows directory.

Both these files are copied during hard reset from the rom to the storage memory. As a result of that a functional copy of both files can be found in rom. The original files will be "activated" after deleting these files from the storage memory

2) Soft Reset

Opera will continue to work as previously

If you are unable to delete them, you can use Sktools and "Replaced Rom files" menu

Too Bright flash workaround

Hi guys,

struggling with a way to bright flash on objects which are nearby?

i found a way to use the flash on nearby object without having the overlight problem. Just use Torchbutton to activate one or 2 Flashes (depending on the room ambient), then go on camera, deselect flash and make pictures.

Works great because camera now adjusts the actual brightness and doesnt add another shot before taking the picture. Maybe HTC can include such a feature in future software upgrades :-)

Btw im pretty amazed by the camera, the pictures are sharp, crisp and really good for a mobile-cam. I just hope the pink spot resolves ...

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimpsinties:
Maybe it's best if you don't start messing about with stuff you really don't understand :confused:

If you download and install the Total Commander cab file from the link I posted above, that's a start.

Then you run it and it'll be in the root of your device but it'll have an extra entry that you can't see in the normal File Explorer which is called \\Plugins

Double clicking on this will then bring up the Registry folder.

I can't explain it any clearer than this sorry :o :D

If you want it only to be weaker, just next to "Vibrate" you can find "VibrateLevel" which determines the strength of vibration. Factory setting is 2.

Locate HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\PhoneExtendSetting -> "KeyPadVibration" and change the value from 1 to 0.
