does that really lasts battery longer???? how'd you know ?

EDIT: doesnt work on my dft v4 trophy rom.... screen will freeze when in standby (black screen when press power button)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AndrewSh:
nickislauw, your device behaves absolutely correctly after applying this "tweak". When the Default Power state is = 1 - the device is at a lower performance state. Depending on vendor it can cause issues.

So - don't change the values predefined by OEMs.

And don't apply any "tweaks" published by Magpir - he just discovered msdn and now posting strange things here... :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] sensboston:
He's doing this all the time. So, don't wait but send complain to the mods. Together (I believe so) we can stop this guy...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Divine_Madcat:
Yes, please. I only have so many eyes.. ;)

If more junk like that pops up, hit the notify button, and we will get it... :)
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Vintage144:
unless ,the .xap comes from people you see alot on this forum like gooddaytodie,heathcliff,jaxbot,cotulla,finix,sensboston,voluptuary, xboxmod and several others , dont trust them , ask someone like Gooddaytodie what he thinks or better yet ask the mods , the above mentioned are devs who I trust ,if they say it works you can bank on it!
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
As a way to generalize the above comment, people who are "Recognized Developers" on XDA-Devs (myself, Heathcliff74, Cotulla, sensboston, and quite a few others) have been recognized by the admins as, to put it simply, being good at this stuff. That doesn't mean you should take everything we say as gospel - I've made mistakes, as have others - nor does it mean you should ignore the input of other members (we were all there once). However, it's an easy way to check "are people considered good contributors?" The title "Recognized Developer" appears under our names on the left side.

Alternatively, in the case of things like XAPs, you could try looking at what the app does. I include source code for my apps, as do some others like fiinix, which makes it easy. For those who don't include source, you could try using a .NET decompiler program if you want to study what's going on. Of course, just knowing that a certain registry value is being changed doesn't always tell you what the impact of changing that vlue will be, and since this thread is all about registry tweaks and I personally have full experience with only a few of them, I can't promise anything.

I might have missed it... but has anyone figured out how to have WIFI stay with the screen off? This is killing my battery as its always switching on and off...
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AndrewSh:
djdurance, normally wifi ON is killing your battery - not switching between ON and OFF.

Power Management tries to save your battery switching wifi OFF when the screen goes out :)

For now I am not sure that it's possible to change exactly wifi suspend policy in WP.... At least I don't know the way.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] djdurance:
Usually I would agree with you... However, I live in a really weak signal area. If Wifi would stay connected I could turn off data, saving me big time with battery life.

On my Galaxy Nexus I am able to use this feature and it adds a lot of endurance to my battery.

Sorry to be such a noob, but...

I'm trying to use the edit to change my Windows Live ID, but I can't figure out how to find the correct GUID. I tried downloading the RegistryViewer.xap linked towards the beginning of the thread, but it just crashes when I try to open it.

Also, I think I've figured out the provxml thing, but I'm not sure: Basically, I just email it to myself with a .txt extension, open it with word, and then get rid of the .txt extension?

Hi,

I have a strange behavior on my HTC HD2, running with Pdaimatejam 7.3 ROM. I would like to use a sports app with GPS during my running workout. I tried Runtastic and Run.GPS. But always when I switch off the screen after short time the GPS switches off, too. When I switch on the screen then the GPS returns.

Could it be, that there is something wrong in my registry? Is there a point, which defines to keep GPS running, when screen is switched off?

Thanks

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] JamesAllen:
Marathon

Have you tried Marathon? I have used it since WM 6.1 and it has always worked well for me. When I remove it from my pocket, it is still running and the GPS is working fine.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] duhhh:
Modify this registry keys:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\GPS

"IsEnablePWClassDetect"=dword:0

"IsEnableNMEAOutput"=dword:0
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rupi99:
Thanks a lot. This was the trick. Now Runtastic works very well with screen off.

Maybe this tweak is worth to bring on post #1. For HTC phone it works.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] MrPappy86:
I play with these entry.

Increase the font cache, speeding up font rendering at the cost of a bit of memory:

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Lock will allow you to set the PasswordTimeout in seconds. That's the time before you must enter your password again to unlock the phone, though - not the time before the phone automatically turns off the screen.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] xpc21:
GoodDayToDie, thanks a lot for your kinda attention! I was hopping to have screen time out seconds because i know that there is the "never" option so maybe a 5sec could be done, thanks again.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
the default value for the wireless on my intrinsic custom rom is 1

changing it to 4 makes it behave like the way u described..but not exactly, it does seem to reconnect when the phone wakes up from sleep

the value 4 is supposed to be OFF according to windows D state.

wonder how u came up with this theory.

After using this I can't post to Twitter or Windows Live. I'm guessing there was one more place I needed to change my Live ID for social media stuff, it worked great for Marketplace and everything else.

Anyone know what to do?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
At a minimum, try removing your Twitter account on the phone (and un-linking it from your WLID) and then setting it up again. Not sure if that will help with the posting to Live, though.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] revxx14:
Tried removing the Twitter account but it gives me an 80048800 error. Pretty sure it's because it can't log in to the account, like I thought before...I guess I'll just spend some time flicking through the registry.

EDIT: Alright, I've done some testing. Here's what I've found:

I set up a Windows Live account using my old Live ID credentials, and low and behold, one of my accounts prompted me to "reconnect." that makes it extremely clear what the issue is: There's a registry key somewhere that has my old Live ID associated with it, and it's somewhere specific to social media.

Does anyone know where in the registry I could look to find social media credentials? I searched through most of the "Current User" folder, but I didn't see anything.

EDIT 2: Does anyone have a version of the registry that I can view on a computer? Just a text file or something? Or is there a way I an export my copy of the registry?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
Has anyone found a way to keep the task bar active all the time so that the batt and signal stays on? I found a part of registry that may have control over it but am not sure as it must be part of rom value, cause after changing the values and restarting the device the values do not stay. Maybe because after a reboot the values are being restored from policy-files. If we can find the right part of registry, would it be possible to send a cab update to change it?

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Magpir:
Make the following changes:

low Control

Flow control is used to control communication device such as modem and serial. There are 2 kinds of flow control, software and hardware. Hardware flow control is better since it will free the main processor from controlling the modem and serial ports, therefore making better internet experience. However sometimes hardware flow control is not compatible with connections therefore requiring software flow control. This tweak will enable hardware flow control.

HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Serial_Class\Config\EnableFlowHard = 1
HKLM\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Serial_Class\Config\EnableFlowSoft = 0

Keyboard Click Volume

I'm looking for the registry value that controls the keyboard clicking sound volume. MSDN says it should be HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume\Key (DWORD 1 for low vol, 2 for loud vol, 0 for off) but changing that value on my phone doesn't change the key volume. Under HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds I see ImeAddToDictionary and ImeSelectCandidate which both control the volume of those keyboard events via InitVol settings. There is also \Keypress but that seems to be something else (and InitVol changes don't effect the typing (the referenced sound file HWandSW.wav is the wrong sound anyway). And under HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories I tried playing with InitVol settings for System and SystemNotification but didn't notice a change in typing volume. In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\FingerKB\Sounds you can see the sound files listed. I tried putting an InitVol key with value 10 but it doesn't change anything.

I've tried creating subkeys under ControlPanel called \Key and \Ime with an InitVol value but that does nothing. I've also done a registry search for what I suspect are the two keyboard sound files (KbdFunction.wav and KbdKeyTap.wav) and other keywords like KeyBd, click, tap etc.

If nobody knows where the registry entries to control this are, I think my next step is to edit the actual sound files by lowering their volume. To me the sound of the keyboard is annoyingly loud relative to the rest of the system. That said, I don't want to totally disable the sound either.

Michael

PS This is on a Focus S but I think it's a generic issue for all WPs.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
No those are the values that i changed them to, to see if it changed the time-limits.

the default is:

ACUserIdle: 0

BattUserIdel: 0

LcokUserIdle: 10

There are other parts of registry that xboxmod had suggested but was unsuccessful also. The ones that i changed do not stay after restart, and yes they do have to do with idle time, but thought if there was to disable the idle that they would either stay on or not come on at all. Maybe someone will figure it out one day. Contable found the part of registry when he made cab update to change the taskbar with glass icons but he said he had not attempted to change the idletime.

If someone can disassemble the cab to see where it is writing to then maybe it will get us closer. Ill post the cab if someone wants to take a look into it, as i am unsure how to.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] lucasryan:
Try going to: current user/control panel/sounds.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] mlekas:
Thanks. I've been all over that folder (in my original post HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds meant Current User\ControlPanel\Sounds - sorry if HKCU is the wrong acronym).

That folder has these two Ime keys(ImeAddToDictionary and ImeSelectCandidate) which control a keyboard click press sound, just not the default one.

Hi,

I have tried this a couple of times, rebooted, etc but still no live tiles.

Well, I got my email to work by uninstalling the account and adding it again, and it updated, but Google, Messages and Phone haven't updated.

I checked the CustClear.xml and it does seem to reset all the reg values. Is there any way to check the registry itself? (in an HD2)

Anything else to try?
