help? touch pro input (phone keypad and compact qwerty) only symbols! - Touch Pro CDMA

I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere (I've looked everywhere I can think of), but I seem to have somehow set the default for both input options to symbols only. I'm running a Verion TP with a few of the tweaks and mods I found. There's an option for "turn on one touch symbol entry" but even with that not selected, it seems to be doing exactly that? Anyone know a registry edit that would help? thanks in advance!

one of your tweaks is causing it.
i'm not sure of the tweak as i have not done it... this comes from reading the forums.
i think it has to do with t9 or something. it would be best if you tested your tweaks one at a time so you know what they are doing.

thanks, i've been trying to back them out one at a time (i only had 2 or 3). I didn't notice it until it was too late, after I'd done a couple in a row. that's why i was hoping someone might know what particular registry entry i can adjust.
Edit: I've backed them all out now and soft reset, still nothing. I'm worried only a hard reset is going to help...
Edit 2: Ok, i just went ahead and hard reset. Thanks anyway

Any idea what this was? I'm having the same issue!

I'm relatively certain you disabled xt9 using some program or another. If you enable it, the you should get the functionality back.

This is correct. For some reason this happens after going to the classic word correction and disableing eT9. A temp fix for this is to modify the following registry keys; I say temp, because it might happen again.
Temporarly fixed symbol lock on keyboard:
1. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
2. [HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9]
XT9SupportMSSip value="0"

Thanks Jeff!
I had the same issue and your fix worked.
I only had the change the value for [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
Mine was set to 00000001
The value for [HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9] XT9SupportMSSip was already "0"

Issues with text in landscape mode

OK I made a thread for this yesterday in the general Raph area but it seems to have gone away. If I missed it I apologize and am not trying to spam.
My problem is this. Lets say for example Im trying to edit or put in a new contact in landscape mode. You know how some of the boxes have drop down menus with different options? Well, I can get the drop down to activate but nothing shows up. Also when I try and type in any field the curser moves, but I cant see my typing. After Im done if I click into another field it then shows up.
I have the same issue with Gmail and drop down boxes...nothing shows up *in landscape mode only*
Any ideas?
i had this problem when i enabled cleartype in landscape. try disabling that if you have and see if that helps.
Based on all the detail I read, DO NOT ENABLE Cleartype on the TP. You are experiencing a bug re: landscape mode. Inall the forums that I have read they said it will foul up landscape.
Hello,
Is cleartype the actual problem? I had this enabled, ran into the problem... disabled it and I still have the problem.
Hard reset?

Did you also make sure cleartype was not enabled in Internet Explorer as that can cause problems in certain programs as well?
Hello,
I do not believe it is enabled in IE.. where would it be. I never use IE so I didnt change any settings in that or anything.
Thanks for your help!
Try making these reg edits to make your font size normal:
HKLM\System\GDI\SYSFNT\Ht (Change from 1000 to 900)(Dont go below)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Barfnt\Ht (Change from 1000 to 800)(Dont go below 800)
HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Popfnt\Ht (Change from 1000 to 800 or 700)
HKLM\System\GWE Delete the string "WidgSz"=dword:1"

Adjusting Volume While Talking

I have noticed that while talking on my phone if I adjust the volume using the two buttons on the side it only adjusts the "System". I notice no change in the volume from the earpiece.
Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a fix? Or am I just an idiot doing something wrong (always a possibility)?
have you installed any registry tweaks or other programs? I tried switching to the stock window dialer and lost that function and had to switch back.
If you have disabled the HTC dialer skin, then you won't be able to control volume without installing the cab in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2718080&postcount=7
I did switch to the stock dialer. Thanks for the info.
i had another ? regarding changing the volume... when i change volume up and down it increases or decreaes 3 bars at a time.. is there a way to only make it go one bar at a time....?
i remember reading a hack out there to perform this but i cannot locate....
HELP...
if you use the stylus or if you have really really pointy fingers you can select bars inbetween the 3.
.. and then i wonder why my screen is so scratched up

You did huh, I'd be very interested because I've been searching for this or how to do it for a while now. I can't locate where to change this, so if you can remember anything. I'ts very useful for people using their phone as an MP3 player. Let me know, 12
i remember reading on this site or ppcgeeks ,,,, will update if i find

Keyboard backlight

Hey Ive seen issues with people having trouble with the distribution of LEDs on the keyboard with not seeing keys and others to bright and thats not me haha. I was wondering though if anybody knew a registry hack or something that would let the backlight on the keyboard stay on longer than 5 seconds? That is the biggest annoyance of this phone that ive seen so far.

Do a search for a utility called Advanced Config, it has a setting to change the backlight timeout, among a lot of other things. You'll need to have the ARM4i version of ppc .NET 3.5 installed also.
BEWARE: Use the tool at your own risk. Don't turn menu animations and start menu animations on, as it has caused my start menu to go really wonky (all the colors are jumbled and its impossible to read) Turning this off made it behave as expected. Just a warning
Hey thanks man. I didnt even know that setting was in advanced config and ive used since the mogul lol.
Doesnt work
I have tried the tweak in advanced config and nothing changed, has anyone else had luck with this?

This is one of the most annoying things about the TP. Anytime you pause for 5 seconds the keyboard backlight goes off! Grrr!
No kidding. I completely disabled the light sensor on my P4000, it was always on as long as the slider was open. I even watched an hour long episode of top gear while I sat in a Mazda dealership while having an oilchange done on my car.
I too have been equally frustrated with this. With no solution in sight, I think I might have thought of a program that could save our sanity. The only problem is that i've only THOUGHT of it and it doesn't exist yet. I've started a thread in the 'Development and Hacking' section.

A bug - in most cooked ROMs and current official one

I found the following problem with most cooked ROMs (also including the last official one from HTC) /I tried that on fresh installations in every case/
I like AutoLock feature. So I made a small .reg file to modify one small entry in registry.
The moment this feature is on - if the device becomes locked, the screen goes dim. Problem is - it stays dimmed forever. I tried thousand different solutions - many combinations of registry values, power options, etc. nothing helps. If I lock the device manually - no problem. only with autolock. Anybody knows how to make it work?

Vojtek
Maybe you should post your script, so that someone can have a look. Did this work on some previous ROM? Or has it been an ongoing problem?
Try using SmartLock, found on this site.

The official HTC ROM that I used to have before recent official update from HTC - worked very fine with this little registry mod.
The modification is as follows:
HKCU->ControlPanel->Backlight->AutoDeviceLockEnable
default value = 0
I change it to 1. This is all I do after totally fresh ROM update. that causes the dim to go permanently on from the next lock (doesn't matter if it was caused by auto or manual). even If I get back with the value to 0 in registry - problem stays. soft reset (and value set to 0) eliminate the problem.
one more thing - I never use auto-light sensor. My backlight level is always set to 2. with auto-light sensor - autolock works OK. however I loose a lot of battery life since auto-light sensor never allows backlight levels lower than 4.

check out Lumos, it'll let you backlight go as low as you set it to

Thank You for the tip. The tool itself is great. However it is affected same way by the autolock. Autolock causes device to stay dimmed permanently - even with Lumos running.

First off... I'm new around here & still a little flabbergasted by everything WinMo, but this site has already helped me tremendously.
Secondly, I can confirm the AutoLock bug. I updated my Touch Pro to the latest official rom last night. While running through AdvancedConfig (i think...) I noticed the AutoLock option & enabled it. 10 minutes later I was freaking out that I had stuffed up my expensive new toy...
Disabled, rebooted & all is OK again.
First of all - Advanced Config has nothing to do with it (to defend the author).
Second - thank You for support. I could not find a solution for this problem anywhere and I spent hours googling. For the moment I thought that my TP is failed. Seems that nobody uses AutoLock these days. I don't know how everybody's doing it, but without locking, my TP calls to different people (especially from Favourites tab) from time to time...

I require a password/passcode level of security on my device - which the Lock/Unlock feature doesn't provide. Unfortunately, the current security implementation in WinMO 6.x doesn't allow the Today screen to be seen like the Lock/Unlock feature.
As a result of these shortcomings, most folks tend to use a 3rd Party lock application such as: S2U2, mLock, etc. as they provide the desired flexibility.
HTH,
very familiar with this issue. I'm working on it too. It affects the WM6.5 lockscreen for sure and I thought it was a problem with only that. Bugger that it affects official ROMs as well. Good info though, I can stop concentrating on the lockscreen and start looking at power mgmt.

[Q] wifi timeout when screen off

noticed the wifi will disconnect after a short period when the screen turns off
i dont want my wifi to stay connected all the time but it would be handy if i could extend this timeout to maybe 5mins or something
anyone know if it can be done?
did you try bandswitch?
no, i prefer reg tweaks... installing apps just seems to make the phone unreliable
but i will try it anyway, thanks
you want
hklm - comm - bcmsddhd1 - parms -htckeepwifionwhenunattended
change the value to 1 and wifi wont disconnect.
I dont know if you can alter the timeout.....
the setting will need to be reapplied after a soft reset though.
touch tools will do it permanently.
hope that helps....
ooh, interesting...
have also found SuspendOffDelayInterval
will test and see if it changes anything
yes, seems to work for me, value in:
\HKLM\Comm\BCMSDDHD1\Parms\SuspendOffDelayInterval
seems to be the delay in ms, so default 30,000 = 30 sec, i just added another zero to make it 300,000 or 5mins.
that's good to know.....
im quite happy with mine on all the time but im sure someone else will find that useful
does that change survive after a soft reset?
seems to yea
