So why not use pocket sheild? It has a 15 sec timer on it, so if you put it in your holster and it "wakes up", after 15 seconds it will turn the phone off again if there isn't any action done on it. Use it to only turn on with the light sensor when you pull it out of you pocket or a finger swipe from top to bottom. Also, you can tell it what apps that it cannot go into sleep mode on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SailCO26:
That's actually on my list of apps to take a look at, but for a different reason. I'd still like it to not come on at all, as the pocket dial I made was well w/in the 15s timeout for PS.

Ok, so the search originally didnt work for me because I didnt realize it was the magnet causing the wake-up. Knowing that now, I found the registry change I need to make in another thread.

Now for the total noob quesion:

How do I get into the registry to edit it?

I gather Total Commander is the popular tool of choice, and now have that installed. But my searches keep coming up with various tweaks to MAKE in the registry, but not how to GET TO it. I was unable to find this in the TC docs, either...

Thanks for the patient assistance to a WM noob.

(tho I'm a .Net programmer, so not a complete ijit - unless you want to hold being a .Net programmer against me, which I really couldnt blame you for - but it beats the heck outta COBOL...)

PHM Registry Editor. I would have posted a link but I don't have enough posts to do so!! Just google it and it should come up I got mine off of freewareppc com
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aj48198:
Pocket Sheild will not let anything happen what so ever. Unless you physically make it happen, it will do nothing but sit there at the unlock screen waiting for input. If nothing happens, the screen will go back into sleep mode. Check the website out, that should help you make your decision easier. You can change the timer to be 10 seconds as well but I think that is about as close as you can get beside turning the phone off!!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fwp:
I think this is what you need:

1) this is a magnet holster issue -- FIX: from wmexpert touch-pro-2-tip-fix-cases-magnets-issue-registry-fix *attached Cab

2) To stop certain apps from locking automatically I use S2U2 *zip attached (Slide to Unlock) there is a list of applications that you can set not to lock when active. I use this for GPS navigation for example. showthread.php?t=527523

You can set a password with this or not as you wish. You'll like it.

Keep in mind that the one sideeffect of the magnet fix is that the phone will not automatically unlock on opening the keyboard. You have to hit the power button. Personally I don't have any problem with this.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
well he is making it physically happen, but unintentionally. The magnet in the holster is waking the device up by making it think the keyboard has slid open, then the call button is being pressed against the case causing the device to place a call.

as i stated earlier, its best to disable wake-up when keyboard is slid out which is provided in a cab in the post right before this one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SailCO26:
Thanks aj and fwp, I think I've got it now.

Backed into a copy of the PHM RegEdit, and the slide fix worked great! No worries about the kb not waking the phone up, never used that function anyway.

Re the S2U2 app and preventing lock during some apps, does PocketShield also do this - or would I need to run both to keep GPS apps alive?

Thanks again!

Jim
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aj48198:
I get that, and if the cab fixes the issue, thats great. What I was saying was that pocket sheild will not unlock at all, be it the keyboard slid open or the stylus came out, unless you program it to do so. I just tried to make it unlock by sliding the keyboard open and the only thing it did was go into landscape, still locked tho.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] fone_fanatic:
ahh ok, not familiar with that app and thought you were saying that it would wait for an input (i.e. buttons pressed) for a set time, and if nothing happened then it would lock the device after a set time period.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aj48198:
PS does do that (preventing lock during some apps) You just have to tell it when you are in the settings.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] SailCO26:
Thanks for all the great info! Have the phone "safe" now, but will be looking into PocketShield as the next app.

[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:
hihi

me and my girtlfriend got the HD2 since one week. I installed alle patches and BSB Tweak on the Phones. Everything is ok on my phone. But the Camera of my girlfriend does not sharpen pictures over 10 cm and longer away from the Object. I dont know, if the camera works good before. She only tried after i patched and optimized the Phone. A Hardreset dont chance the probleme. Same problem as before.

I dont know if it is a hardware failure, or any problem in the Settings.

Hardreset with 1.43 German doensnt work. Should i send it to repair the phone back to the company i get it, or do u think it is possible to repair the Focus, who sharpened the pictures via newer ROM, who maybe released the next few days or weeks?

what do u think.

thx and sry for the bad english ;)
[HD2 General] Archer:
Your english is fine mate :)

If you hadn't tried a hard reset then I'd suggest checking that auto focus was actually enabled, as you can disable it from the camera settings (open the camera, open the options screen, press the setup icon & then go to advanced).

Since a hard reset hasn't changed it, I'd have to say it's a hardware fault. It's good that you've got another one there to compare it to so you know it should work properly. Just a shame that this one sounds faulty.

Hope you get it sorted quick. Good luck :)
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Have you read and done what it says in the manual, page 240 in the English edition?

WB
[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:
the one and only option ist "Touch Focus" i see on advanced options.

Do u mean, a rom updated doenstn work, when 1.61 is official or a higher rom?

on my phone, i hear a voice on the lensse when it sharpened the picture, on my girlfriends phone there is no voice on the lense, only the white quad moves, but there is no noise from the lense.

mayebe it is possible to destroy the Focus, when i update the camera patch and do optimices with BSB Tweaks?
[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:
i have only the german one. But i try to read it, when i am at home. the htc page is not available here at work ;(

can u copy and paste it maybe in this thread?

thx
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Ripperjack,

See this...

" ... • Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and

take a photo.

• Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and

start capturing a video. Press the button again to stop capturing.

To take a photo using Touch Focus

Touch Focus allows you to focus on a particular area of the screen by

touching it. Touch Focus is enabled by default and is available in the

Photo and Contacts Picture capture modes.

1.	Set the capture mode to Photo or Contacts Picture mode.

2.	Tap the area on the screen where you want to focus. The focus

indicator positions itself on the selected area.

Note	If you tap outside the effective focus area, a white box appears to

indicate the area where you can use Touch Focus.

3.	Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and

take a photo. You can also directly press and hold the area you

selected (that is, the area enclosed within the focus indicator) to

focus on that area and take a photo.

To capture photos in Panorama mode

Press and hold the Virtual Camera button to set the focus and capture

the first photo. Press and hold the button again to focus and capture

each subsequent photo and complete the panorama....."

WB

Full manual available here...http://www.htc.com/uk/userguide.aspx?p_id=297

PS: I just checked on my device. If yo go into the camera app>settings>advanced, make sure Touch Focus on the first page is set to ON.
[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:
ok, thx. Try this all. But have no effect. Onlyo the Quad moves, but not sharpening the Picture.

A new ROM maybe cannot repair this?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Hi Ripperjack,

If I were you I would move to the official ROM 1.48. Then BEFORE loading any fixes or software on (1.48 has most of them in it anyway) I would test the camera and see if it works according to the handbook.

If it does not then you might want to consider sending the device back as faulty and getting a replacement.

Cheers

WB
[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:
have the original 1.48 ROM from HTC on my HD2. It was on my phone already, when i get it. Girlfriends phone also have 1.48. I wanna try to flash the 1.61 Custom on my phone, but when i do this, i loose my warranty?
[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:
otherwise, is there any Registry entry to activate/deactivate the Focus on Camera?
[HD2 General] Ripperjack75:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] babycrush:
Hey guys,

I have the AT&T Tilt and actually, I've bought 4 of them from my other job. One of them I sold to one of my friends and unlocked it to T-Mobile. His phone is running Ultimate X2 rom and so is mine. Once I unlocked his phone to T-Mobile, a week later his space started running out, so he has to keep clearing storage, which he's apparently ok with. However, my problem is a bit more serious. I didn't think anything of it but my phone just 3 days ago started saying that I had critically low space, so I just removed some pictures, and viola! But today it completely ran out of space and now will not go past the initial loading screen. I can still get to Hard-SPL mode, so i guess I could just put a new rom on there, but I wanted to know if there's any way to extract these new numbers I got just yesterday.

Also, is this a known issue with WM phones and is it fixable? I tried searching and came up with nothing.

And just one more thing - what would be your personal recommendation for which rom to use? I'm looking for something that is the least laggy, but is still easy on the eyes. Going back and forth from txt msgs can really be a drag on this phone (or maybe just my experience w/ Ultimate X2).

Any help much appreciated!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] stuntdouble:
I've never had this problem you mention after using many many roms. All devices can act differently though so maybe you should try another rom, as that one doesn't seem to agree with your phone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Mr. Clown:
Did you sync your phone with these new numbers to your PC? Because in that case when you sync again on the new rom you should get your outlook contacts and other phone information from the last sync, if you were able to set your sync this way.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brandall:
I don't know if x2 had the 'deblogger' issues. google-xda it for plenty of help for resolving it.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

Video at O2 is empty ... completely blank.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
Probably means O2 think you don't have a phone that's capable of receiving it, so they filtered it out.
[Nexus One General] rockyxda:
It sent a blank to start with ... fairly certain my settings are A-OK too.
[Nexus One General] TonyHoyle:
Yeah they stripped the video, then sent you a message telling where it was.

You might have to get O2 to switch something at their end, or maybe using an alternative SMS app that allows you to pretend to be an N95 might work (although it might not - back in my iphone days I remember going through that pain with O2.. never again).
[Nexus One General] rockyxda:

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagementor:
A lot of people suggest removing built-in apps by deleting apk files in /system/app in terminal (su) or using root explorer. However I wonder whether it is a clean uninstallation. I know apps create data and cache in /data/data, /data/dalvik-cache if no other locations. Simply deleting apk files does not remove the data and cache, and the entries in packages.xml. There will be error when running fix_permissions.

Can anyone suggest a proper command to fully uninstall built-in apps?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sagementor:
I finally find the proper way to uninstall the system apps.

Step #1 - Find the package names of the apps (e.g. IM.apk=com.android.im)

pm list packages -f

Step #2 - Delete the apk files from /system/app

In console, type

su

mount -o remount,rw /system

rm /system/app/IM.apk

Step #3 - Uninstall the package

In console, type

su

pm uninstall com.android.im

Occasionally my Hero will go into a kind of spasm

It'll be sleeping on my desk, and to use a recent example, I was in the market, about to download Yelp, when I had a call on my work landline.

Put my phone down, whereupon it sent to sleep.

Finished my call, and picked my phone up.

Pressed the red button to wake it, and it doesn;t wake. The screen is still dark.

I press the red button again. Screen goes dark.

Expecting a reboot I wait.....nothing.....still nothing. Press the red button a couple more times.

then 15/20 seconds later the screen will come on, go off, come one, go off, as if it's catching up with my previous keystrokes....

what's up with that ?

(Nah, JK). But really, I had never had THAT bad of a lagg when waking up the phone, but lately it had been getting worse. I figured the only things I was using differently was Weather Bug Elite (it adds temperature to the taskbar) and the battery widget that also is on the taskbar. I unninstalled WBE, and the lagg got way better (it's not gone but WAY better than it was). Do you use the WBE app?
