Any updates for keeping WIFI ON during sleep/screenlock?

Thanks,
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
dude, if u want always ON wifi , then hook it to the charger

i beleive always on wifi means yr battery will drain faster as the whole phone is not sleeping but working (except the screen is off)

its best not to play with with this tweak as it will offer nothign advantage except when its downloading huge files or watever if u are not on charger
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xsever:
Thanks for replying. My current phones, Nokia E71 and Nokia X7 both offer better battery life with wifi always on versus using 3G. Friends with iphones and androids report similar results especially when in bad reception areas.

It's not right to not have the option. What if someone is in a basement without cellular signal but only wifi?

Does anybody know where to change in the registry the update interval for email accounts, e.g., from 15 min down to 2 min?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
I have tested the following tweaks below and had discovered some benefits from them

Disable d2d hardware acceleration for Internet explorer

This wll disable certain features of hardware acceleration in IE9 saving some battery life in web surfing

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\windows\INTE RNET explorer\main\feature control/Feature Render with 2D/ (set Dword to 0)

this will disable all hardware acceleration in IE but rich graphical content in email will not show correctly and 3rd party web browsers may not work correctly.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\windows\INTE RNET explorer\main\feature control/Feature GPu Rendering/ (set Dword to 0)

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 AM ----------

no need for any registry tweaks

in yr case then u can just use the "as items arrive" sync schedule
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@Magpir: I begin to realize why people ask you if you've ever tested your so-called fixes for battery life at all. If you disable hardware acceleration, that just makes the browser do all the rendering using the CPU. The GPU is much more efficient at rendering than the CPU is, as well as being faster. So, all that your "tweak" will do is make IE render slower and take more battery!

As for the email polling time, I'm not aware of such a registry value, but I'll let you knwo if I find one. Not all accounts (in particular, not POP3 accounts) support "as items arrive" (also known as "push email") so if for some reason the person who asked that is using an email service that doesn't do push, the "as items arrive" option will be disabled. However, be aware that using a 2-minute polling time will have an serious effect on battery life.

EDIT: The GPU is *vastly* more efficient at video decoding than the CPU was. I was willing to buy that you might, possibly, be correct... up until you said that turning off hardware acceleration would make video decoding take less power. That's so patently absurd I can barely describe it. I would be surprised if the CPU even *can* decode 800x480x60FPS video on its own... Also, the hardware acceleration isn't ust for "advanced graphics" at all, it's used for a great many portions of the rendering process, such as resizing images (something the phone does a lot of, as you may have noticed).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
it may work differently in different phones and what hardware they contain. Take note that HW rendered web browsing has not helped in all cases. The results are variable

yes i have tested them ( my phone is HD7) and i seem to notice that if u disable D2d hardware rendering , it somehow become faster in web surfing

However, it also results in at need to load additional D2d graphic libraries for which makes them use even more RAM.

when i had HW enabled actually, IE took longer time to load webpages with HW acceleration, compared to without. but unless the the browser performs advanced graphics, the user will not see the difference.

Another effect of the hardware acceleration is that it can make the battery drain faster in some cases. An example of this is video playback, where the hardware acceleration requires every video frame to be run through the GPU, thus making the system use more power than it would have without HW acceleration.

you should therefore evaluate if HW acceleration is required or not, as it comes with a cost in terms of RAM usage, start-up time and possibly even battery duration which can have negative effects on the user experience because the GPU has to work more...

A very important and handy registry edit is the one that allows you to change the Mobile Operator of the device (so as to receive via Zune a firmware update specific to that Operator/country)

Go to HKLM\System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\MobileOperator and enter (string) value data: ''000-88'' for unbranded device or ''SFR-FR'' or ''000-FR'' or ''FON-ES'' etc...

If I could provide a full list of those XXX-YY codes could it be possible for the devs of Tweaks apps (like WindowsPhoneHacker Tweaks, WinTT, PWPDTweaks etc) to make a registry edit/tweak with a drop down list for all the operators?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] 1031982:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
What @chemeng is posting has been known for, oh, at least 16 months now... since at least the NoDo update. What @1031982 linked is actually quite different, and may change the OemName registry value within DeviceTargetingInfo (as opposed to the MobileOperator registry value mentioned above). DO NOT DO THIS!! It will permanently break the Marketplace DRM on your phone; you won't be able to install or run Marketplace apps until you hard-reset. (This is also well-known on the forum.)

Apps which change the Marketplace configuration files without changing the registry are safe to use. Those apps will let you download or update apps from other OEM and mobile operator Marketplace sections, although some apps won't work.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] chemeng:
I didn't bragg that it's a new tweak or anything. It just isn't on the first page and I think it should be added. I was looking for it quite some time to find it (I had to go through previous posts of mine back to the KK1 Omnia7 fw era).

Can someone list the registry tweaks required for Tango features to show-up (static IP, Export to SIM)?

EDIT: Here you are... very handy these days (Why are they not enabled in the first place??? As if Tango has tons of features)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Connectivity\WiFiSplashUX]

"EnableStaticIP"=dword:1

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Contacts\Sim]

"EnableSIMAddressBookAndExport"=dword:1

THOSE REGISTRY EDITS ARE TANGO-ONLY! One more but I doubt who would need it

Disable Check-in option in Me Hub

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Contacts\Me]

"DisableCheckin"=dword:1

The only feature I don't have is full MMS attachements (I only have 1 option: attach photo or video, where is voice note optioon?? Is there a reg tweak?) The location awareness icon is officially abandoned?

Could Jaxbot and devs of WinTT, PWPDTweaks include those tweaks? pdaimatejam had made an app to change those values but there was an error with the SIM Export (created wrong value)

Good GPS locks appear to be quicker with this reg edit

I have been trying to improve GPS lock times on my HD7 and this appears to have helped:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver\Drivers\GPSOneDevice\OpenStandalone]

Change from 1 to 0

I'm finding that getting good cold fixes - like after a reboot - within about 15 seconds and warm fixes in about 3 seconds with clear view of sky (HDOP in the region of 8-10).

Also tried this on an LG Optimus 7 and got similarly quick results.

I've been testing this over a couple of days and the results appear pretty consistent.

Does anyone know where the SUPL server details are stored? Would like to change the default server to get further speed increases...

How to allow local html files parsing

Add key file to path [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\URLProtocols\]:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\URLProtocols\file]

Now phone shell calls internet explorer htmlview app for local html files. For example attached about_0809.htm (rename it from about_0809.txt] shows basic phone configuration.

Yes, we can use Silverlight app and IE Engine to run offline html content, but after registry tweak built-in browser can do it.

On dev-unlocked phones it works for files in \My Documents and its subpaths only.

On fully unlocked or WPRooted phones you can use Phone Commander and doubletap to any html file anywhere in filesystem.

But, Internet Explorer does not allow type file protocol directly to its addressbar. May be any other key must be added for it.

Edit:

Javascript works properly too in local file. Then, we have possibility to use scripts and links to programm (also on-device) new js & html5 functionality. Download calculator example, save to phone (My documents directory, you can use also lnk files to simply html file link) and try it.

How do you like javascript ZX Spectrum emulator, ported to touch manipulation? I think this may no be too difficult, but I am not sure.

News: Offline ZX Spectrum js emulator works on unlocked WP7 phone. Only problem - sna files are not loaded from phone, probably must be included directly to js code.

Edit: Sna files (games) works well, only still slow (I am working on speed increasing). Problem was simplies, then I mean. Phone Internet Explorer does not support doubleclick, it must be changed to one click in javascript code.

Continues in other thread.

Me and a friend of mine have a problem with the volume of our phones i have a samsung omnia w 8350 and my friend has the nokia 710 both are dev unlocked.

I 've been searching for months for a solution but nothin so far...the diagnosis code for volume doesnt work for neither of us (*#0002*28346# or *#0002*28345#) i guess we have different codes?He tried editing the volume yesterday (current user/control panel/volume/volume) with random high or low values with no luck so far.anyone that cant help i would really appreciate it

i actually forgot to define the problem we think that the ringing and media volume( master volume) is too low if the phone is in pocket we rarely hear it.

(value of volume in currentuser/control panel/volume/volume is 4294967295 he did random change from value 1 to value 100000000000 but nothing canged in volume)

@Martin7Pro: I don't know why, but adding the "file" key under URLProtocols breaks Javascript bookmarklets in IE. For example, the "Find on page" script no longer works at all. I don't know why this is happening; it bears further investigation.

To stay on topic, a registry hack:

Key: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell

Value: Application

Type: String

This registry value controls the behavior of the Camera hardware button. By default, unless you're in the camera app already, this launches the camera app. However, it's just a standard "app://{GUID}/task?query=parameters" URI, the same as is used in HKCR to indicate apps for launching. Put in the URI of your favorite app or OS task, or of one that you wish you could access from hardware, and reboot the phone.

also should a value be added with this tweak?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
@thehustler: It enables playing back the audio portion of a video file over Bluetooth (A2DP profile, not Headset profile). Normally this is disabled, because Bluetooth has no way to keep the sound in sync with the video so there tends to a be a lag.

2 - Connect your Windows Phone to the PC.

3 - Start the Zune software and synchronized with the device.

4 - boot registry editor
