dhullazaran 3 Report post Posted February 28, 2009 Mogul's Complete Hack List WARNING: If you don't know what "Registry Changes" are, please ask questions before attempting to do anything described below... you can loose all your data and brake your Mogul's software. If you decide to do any on the below changes, DO THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK. Remember to backup the registry before editing it. If you are looking for a registry editor just have a look here : Free Registry Editors Speed up switching between Portrait & Landscape Modes HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\ Change limit from 8192 to 16384 Faster but it will use more memory Enable BT & USB DUN Go to the phone application and dial ##3328873# (FEATURE) and hit dial. It will ask for your unlock code, so enter 000000 (six zeroes) EPST will popup and you'll see two entries: Enable Wmodem and Enable BT DUN. Highlight each in turn and click edit on the bottom right, change both to enabled. Push ok and it will prompt you to soft reset. After soft resetting, you can then dialup via Bluetooth or USB cable. In order to use the USB cable, you'll need the CDMA USB modem drivers which are on the product CD under \OEM\APPS\Drivers\CDMA USB Modem. Or download them (CDMA USB modem drivers.) It comes with a dialer program that you don't necessarily need to use. However, if you're using the USB cable, you have to start the wmodem program on your pocketPC to keep it from trying to activesync. It's located in \windows\wmodem.exe. Run this before you connect the handheld to your PC via USB. Then you can just setup a DUN connection in windows to dial #777, use your 10-digit number @ vzw3g.com as your username and vzw as the password. Once the connection is setup (assuming you're using a manual connection in windows) click on the "setup" button in the connection under USB CDMA modem and change the COM port speed to whatever the highest setting you have is. After that, you should be able to dial up just fine. Change softkeys on "Today" screen HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\keys\112 for left HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\keys\113 for right You may not have a 113, but you can just make the 113 identical to 112 and change the "open" command. The value for "Default" controls what is displayed on the screen. Get rid of SMS Delivery acknowledgements (popup text msg) HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\SMS Change "Delivery Ack" from 1 to 0 Now go to HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox Once on 'Inbox', start a new 'key' and name it "Settings" when done, click on your new key Settings Now you should be on HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings Start a new 'Dword' and name it "SMSNoSentMsg" with the 'Value Data' of "1″. Activate MS Voice Command via Bluetooth You must have Microsoft Voice Command installed to use this hack. HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VoiceCommand\Path Change the default value from \Windows\SDDialer.exe to \Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCMD.exe Eliminate accidentally dialing #777 (useful if you don't have the unlimited plan) Add a user name to the Data Network connection, without any password. In this way, when ever the phone attempts to dial #777, a password screen pops up. You can click cancel, if it isn't intentional, or just click "OK", and it will then complete the connection. Not sure how? Here is how: Tap on Start > Settings > Connections > Connections > Manage existing connections Edit the Data Network Connect that has the #777 number Click next > next > then put in a username (ANY name will do), and NOTHING else. Increasing ringer volume!! I was very annoyed by the ringer volume on the 6700 like some others. I figured out a way to increase the volume on the phones without voiding any warranty on the phone. First - Go download this freeware called WavePad. We are going to edit the ringer with this program. Second - Pick a song with the program that you would like to use as a ringer and open it. (wav format) Third - Cut the length of the song to about 20 sec. You do this by putting the indicator on any point on the track and going to the Edit trim start (for the beginning) and Edit trim end (for the end). Four After you cut your track to the length you would like, you want to highlight the whole edited track. Just click and drag over the entire track. Now go to the Effects tab High pass filter. I recommend putting in a value of 200MHz and up. Not lower than 200Mhz because our Mogul can’t handle well low frequencies. Then click OK. Fifth - Now go to Effects tab and amplify the sound in intervals of 120. Make sure you don’t amplify the sound too much. If the sound starts cracking when you amplify it you know you have put to much amplification in it. Just undo and lower the intervals. Sixth - Now go to File > Save As and type in the name and location you want to save the file to. Then a dialog box will pop up. I recommend saving the file as Radio Quality. That gives you a pretty good sound out of the phone. Now just add to the phone like normal. NOTE if your speaker is popping on your phone when you test the ringer. You have put much amplification. Or you might need to switch the high pass filter to a high value like 250 or 300. MP3/WMA/WAV for Ringtones: Add media files into "\Windows\Rings\" folder or use File Explorer and click and hold on media file and select "Set as Ringtone" WAV for SMS/EMAIL/Alerts/Alarms: Add WAV files into "\Windows\" folder They will now be available in the Settings > Sounds and Notifications section. Registry hack for longer/shorter keyboard light HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\ At the bottom you'll see a key that says QKeyLedTimeOut Modify that key and change the D Word from 10 to whatever seconds you want. Disable start menu animation HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu Change "AniType" to 0 Force EVDO/1X for a quicker ring response To do this, you will need your MSL number, which only Sprint can provide you. Verizon’s code is 000000. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2). Also on this page is your preferred operation mode. The Default is Automatic, which is the best available mode (EV that will roll back to 1X when EV is unavailable). There are times when you might be in a fringe area and your mode may cycle frequently and this can seriously drain your battery. Setting this to HDR will force EVDO only if you demand an EVDO connection. Changing this setting to CDMA only will force the phone to ignore an EVDO tower and maintain only a 1xRTT connection. Step by Step guide to removing junk from new rom Here are the steps I followed, since there seems to be a lack of usable instructions on this site. 1) Install the new ROM update, and let it do it's thing and install all of the junkware. 2) Delete any existing partnerships with ActiveSync, and then reconnect the PPC6700 to the computer. 3) When prompted create a new partnership, and uncheck all of the checkmarks by the sync items, so you get an ActiveSync profile that does not sync anything. 4) Download the Apache ROM unlocker 5) Download Total Commander 6) For the ROM unlocker, they used RAR to compress. You will need to get WinRAR to unrar. Once that is done put the .exe on your PPC6700 by using the Explore option of ActiveSync. 7) Put the total commander program on your ppc6700 in the same way you did the unlocker. 8) Disconnect the PPC6700 from the computer and use File Explorer on it to find the files you just put on there. 9) First click the total commander icon and this will install total commander. 10) Next click the ROM unlocker link and it will pop a dialog box. Click ok. 11) Soft reset the device 12) Once back up run the total commander program out of Start -> Programs -> Total Commander. 13) Type in the path \Extended_ROM\ in the path box 14) Select the config file from that folder and move it to you Documents and Settings to modify it. 15) Pull up the properties on the file and uncheck the read only attirbute of the config file. 16) Use total commander to edit it. Romove the following lines: CAB: \Extended_ROM\WTLAudiblePlayerPocketPC.arm.CAB CAB: \Extended_ROM\AudibleSample.sa.CAB CAB: \Extended_ROM\sprint_software_store.CAB CAB: \Extended_ROM\GetGL.CAB CAB: \Extended_ROM\Disable_RemoveProgram.sa.CAB 17) Pull up the properties of the file again and re-enable the read only attribute of the config file. 18) Move the file back to \Extended_ROM\ directory. 19) Hard Reset the device 20) After it installs all of the necessarry files, go to the remove programs setting and remove the 2 programs listed there. I dont know what is installing them, but they are junkware related so get rid of them. Now you have a PPC6700 free of junkware! Enables the Ext Rom visible [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerAutoLoadTRUEFFS_DOC1] "Bootphase"=dword:00000002 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemStora geManagerProfilesTRUEFFS_DOC1] "MountHidden"=dword:00000000 Below is a copy of Verizon's config.txt for the cabs to be loaded on hard reset: SHOW: Extended_ROMVerizon_Logo2.bmp EXEC: Extended_ROMTPDisable.exe CAB: Extended_ROMVZWProvision_Signe d.sa.CAB CAB: Extended_ROMSigned_MMS3.0.6.22 _Apache_VZW_26Sep05.CAB CAB: Extended_ROMCustomize_105201.s a.CAB CAB: Extended_ROMEnable_RingTone.sa .CAB CAB: Extended_ROMRegion.sa.CAB CAB: Extended_ROMVZWProvision.PPC40 0_2577MTM.CAB CAB: Extended_ROMRemove.sa.CAB CAB: Extended_ROMLink.sa.CAB EXEC:Extended_ROMTPEnable.exe RST: Reset An easy way to get rid of the "user configurations" Verizon enables is to hard reset the 6700 (hold down both soft keys while hitting the reset key.) Once your device resets and you begin the set-up wizard you can then reset the device before any of the "customizations" are installed. If you want to go back and install the "customizations" you can install them one by one by unlocking the Extended Rom and then opening the cab files yourself. You can browse to the Extended Rom and view the CAB files by installing Total Commander and typing /Extended_ROM/ The important one's to install seem to be: Enable_RingTone.sa.CAB Link.sa.CAB Region.sa.CAB Signed_MMS3.0.6.22_Apache_VZW_26Sep05.CAB VZWProvision.PPC400_2577MTM.CAB VZWProvision_Signed.sa.CAB The nice part about installing CAB's this way is that you can uninstall them at anytime. Thankfully VZW doesn't install all the Junk that Sprint does, but they do add some restrictions, such as crippling WiFi and Bluetooth...this should help eliminate both of those restrictions. Today Screen Wireless This will show if you are on your home network or roaming, also it will show if your WiFi & bluetooth is On/Off. Very cool hack, thanks to that_kid for posting this over at pdaphonehome.com Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Click SOFTWARE Click Microsoft Click Today Click Items Click "Wireless" Thier will be nothing in this folder to start! Now add the fallowing to the folder Add new Dword with a name Flags and the value is "0" Add new Dword with a name Options and the value is "0" Add new String Value with a name DLL value is "netui.dll" Add new Dword with a name Order and the value is "0" Add new Dword with a name Enabled and the value is "1" Add new Dword with a name Type and the value is "4 Now close the program and soft reset the phone. If you hate the way the volume slider works by default . Push and hold down the thimb wheel and it moves down once, then moves down rapidly. You let go and it keeps moving. Argh! You can change this. Go to Settings / Personal tab / Buttons / Up/Down Control tab. I set my Repeat rate to the slowest setting and that seems to turn repeat off. With that setting, you have to slide it and release it once for every notch you want to move up/down in adjusting the volume The Vision duration registry edit from the 6600 works on the 6700. This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it. You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon. Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE Click ControlPanel Click Phone [at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone' Click the bottom menu 'edit' Select new dword value Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes). Select the 'hexidecimal' button. Type 10 Click ok. You should now see in the 'name/data' section: Flags2 16 (0x00010) When done, reset the device. Make Your PocketPC Faster Open your registry editor on your Pocket PC 2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\ 3. Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 16384… or even to 32768 for a faster setting but eats up more memory 4. Close registry editor and soft reset. Increase the Quality of the Video the camera takes : HKey Local Machine\Software\HTC\Camera\ReParam\MP4Large (or Medium or Small). Change the FramRate value from 10 to 19 *don't exceed 19 HKLM\System\StorageManager\FATFS I changed the CacheSize key from 0 to 8192 and it seems to have sped up my ppc. not only that but BT 3900B doesnt seem to give me the memory error anymore that had begun to reoccur. give it a try and let me know what you find Obviously you actually lose quite a bit of space with this hack with a value of 16384, around 16mb almost. I instead used 4096 as the value a 3-4mb loss, no biggie since i have a 1gb sd card). This seems to improve the speed of my PPC as well. I might try a value of 8192 here soon as well as i have plenty of space available How to Store PocketInternetExplorer data on your Mini-SD card instead of the internal storage. It currently results in a PocketIE error where it crashes and closes immediately after loading a page. Clearing the data using the options in PocketIE solves the problem temporarily. find this key: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\ 3 values are here: \Windows\Profiles\Guest\History \Windows\Profiles\Guest\Cookies \Windows\Profiles\Guest\Temporary Internet Files Create a folder on your storage card for all three and edit the values above: \Storage Card\My Documents\IE\History \Storage Card\My Documents\IE\Cookies \Storage Card\My Documents\IE\Temporary Internet Files After doing this, I ran PocketIE and browsed a few websites and it appears that the temporary files are now being stored on my storage card! Let me know how this works for you... you should be able to clear your Windows\Profiles\Guest folder now...it had been saving my gmail login/pw and when i changed the registry to bounce it to the storage card, it no longer remembered...so it's not using these folders anymore. My last question would be about the folder \Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 - but that folder, for me, appears to be only taking about 20kb. edit: i just found that, after making these changes, if you go to clear your temporary internet files through pocketIE, it will clear the storage card folders...if you want to clear your windows/profiles folder (which you should, to get all that space back), either do it before making these changes, or do a soft reset and use file explorer to delete the files right afterwards. Always On Internet (Vision) Connection - Change the "AlwaysOn" dword value from "0" to "1"; -- You may be asked for your Vision ID/PW. Just leave blank. -- Warm Reset [[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Providers\{7C4B7A38-5FF7-4bc1-80F6-5DA7870BB1AA}\Connections\Sprint PCS Vision] "AlwaysOn"=dword:00000001 "RequirePw"=dword:00000001 "ConnectionGUID"="{8956986C-8ABE-ECBF-D48F-57F7DD6A7E6A}" "SecureLevel"=dword:00000000 "Secure"=dword:00000000 "Enabled"=dword:00000001 "EntryType"=dword:00000000 "DestId"="{F079757F-9357-4000-8305-9CA6B9B6CAEC}" Add a disconnect button and connection time to your vision connection bubble: Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Phone Go to New value, then click dword value Name the value "Flags2" without the quotes Choose decimal value and enter 16 for value amount Soft Reset and tap on the vision icon and it will show the disconnect button and connection time. Please note: The "always on" tweak and the Disconnect button/time connected tweak will NOT work together. The always on tweak will override the other tweak and those extra options will not be shown. How to Change Internet Explorer Start Page In the \windows\appbuttons folder you'll see an "Internet Explorer.lnk" file. If open the file using Word mobile it contains: 28#"\Windows\iexplore.exe" \windows\default.htm Edit the file so that it just says: 28#"\Windows\iexplore.exe" Close Word mobile, kill any running instance of IE and restart it using the hardware button. Should work now. Found a great little program that's free and doesn't do anything. Let me explain-There's been a few people complaining, me too, that the virtual keyboard will often keep popping up and getting in the way when you don't need to be typing anything. Download NullKeyboard and it put adds a choice in the list of available input devices. It's a keyboard that doesn't do anything. More importantly it never pops up. When you actually need a virtual keyboard just pick something else. Front Button Tips: To allow buttons to turn device on: Go to settings-personal tab-buttons-lock tab this will allow you to change settting Volume slider adjustments: settings-personal tab- buttons-up/dn controls Vision duration (see how long you are connected to vision & disconnect button) - Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -Click ControlPanel - Click Phone - [at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone' - Click the bottom menu 'edit' - Select new dword value - Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes). - Select the 'hexidecimal' button. - Type 16 - Click ok. - You should now see in the 'name/data' section: - Flags2 16 (0x00010) - When done, reset the device. Make PIE look like version 6.0 (advert security check on websites) (Note: This can cause content problems. Esp. with video streams. You will get the following errors - Cannot play the file. The file is either corrupted or the Player does not support the format you are trying to play".) - Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ - Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\User Agent \ - Change the default value from "Mozilla/2.0" to "Mozilla/4.0". - Change the "Version" value from "MSIE 3.02" to "MSIE 6.0". - Change the "Platform" value from "Windows CE" to "Windows NT 5.1". - Some web sites may just compare the user agent string, but if this is not enough, browse to the Post Platform\ sub key and delete the "240x320" value that specifies screen size. ActiveSync 4.0 turns on automatically There were several posts indicating ActiveSync turns on by itself when the Axim is not cradled and eventually drains the battery. It never happens to me. Circumvention provided by Invid: Disabling automatic syncing (and activesync startup) did. The new activesync is a dog, even worse than it was on WM2003SE and makes my x50v almost useless while running. I will list the steps to disable it. Note that you will still be able to sync, but AS will no longer start up on it's own. 1) Start up AS on your x50. 2) Tap the menu tab/soft key and tap "Add Server Source" 3) Configure a server source with a dummy IP address, user id, password and domain name; these do not have to be real 4) Once configured you should have another sync source show up on your main AS screen...continue on. 5) Tap the menu soft key again and you should see that the sync schedule option is no longer greyed out. 6) Change your schedule from a timed automatic start of AS to manual under both fields 7) If you try to sync now, AS will try to contact your imaginary exchange server and that will take forever until it times out, so you can now delete the exchange server from your list of sync sources. Your changes to the sync schedule will remain and will survive soft resets too. If you have a switcher app running (like vbar) you will find that when you close AS it will now stay closed and you should see a corresponding increase in speed. So you know how you get crappy images from the sprint proxy server? (like when you go to google and you see a grey box behind the compressed grainy google logo) Well, lets say you want to see pictures, but the real natural picture, and dont want the ugly compressed version, or lets say you need to download album art from the net to put into WMP10, you want colorful art right? Here's a solution. Heres the correct reg edit: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows-> CurrentVersion -> Internet Settings -> 5.0 -> User Agent change default to the following: Mozilla/4.0 ; Blazer/4.0 make sure to do a soft reset and refresh your browser Remove Wireless Manager and Power Icons from System Tray First let me thank everyone for sharing what you have learned on our 6700's. I hope this is one of many post's with something helpful in it.... anyway here it goes... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr DWord: Keep Set Value: 0 0x0(0) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power DWord: ShowIcon Set Value: 0 0x0(0) HOW TO: Permanently Disable Flight Mode You must have a registry editor installed on the PPC. I used PHM RegEdit Go to the registry and change the following key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER -> ControlPanel -> PhoneExtendFunction -> CDMA Change FlightModeSwitchByPnHEndKey to 0 This will prevent the phone from going into Flight Mode if you accidentally press the End Call button for too long. Note that Flight Mode can still be used by tapping the signal strength meter. (I wish I could disable that too) I shut off my blinking LED Hkey_Local_Machine/Drivers/Builtin/AllLEDMgr And change the Index value from 1 to 0 Then soft reset. This is for both the blue and green LEDs. [EDIT. Note: This deactivated the vibrate mode on my phone] Speed up dialing on your 6700: Turn off keypad tones: Press green phone button Bottom right "MENU" OPTIONS KEYPAD = OFF OK speeds up the dialing process a lil bit But remember one thing- If you turn the tones off, then you will lose your ability to send "TouchTones" by hitting certain digits. No dialing of extensions, PIN numbers etc. Prevent your Today background screen from getting reset every time you do a soft reset Take any file management program and go to \Windows\StartUp. There should be a link to a program called __cusTSKTEMP.exe. Delete this link (or move it someplace else if you feel awkward about deleting things inside \Windows). I have tested this on a Verizon phone Change Voice Codec (VOCODER) from EVRC to 13k on xv6700 First dial ##778 Tap on "Edit" Enter Unlock Code 000000 Tap on arrow to upper left hand of screen to reveal drop down menu where it says "Display" Select "CDMA Settings" Click and hold on the "EVRC Enabled" line under the Settings column Select "Edit" Switch to "Disabled" Then press "ok" Click and hold on the "Home Page" line under the Settings column Select "Edit" Switch to "Voice 13k" Repeat for "Home Orig" and "Roam Orig" Voice Command Volume Fix Open your regedit program Go to HKEY Current User - Control panel - Sound Catagories - Voice Command (or Voicecommand1)- click on voice command(or voicecommand1) and look for the keys and value section In the settings Change: Attenuation Catagory - Value 1 InitVol - Value 3 Close the edit app soft reset and then you might need to check your settings in Voice Command. Once you have the VOice command settings set for the phone for announce calls, etc Then call your phone and see if you notice an increase in volume. If you are running any 3rd party apps, you might need to make sure the volume is set to full. Cleartype mode in Landscape view 1. Goto "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings\OffOnRotation" 2. Change/ensure the value is "0" 3. Soft reset Another CACHE tweak Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Filters\f sreplxfilt\ReplStoreCacheSize" and change/ensure value is "8192" Start Items HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\NewMenu HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Start Items IE always wanting to go to the "blank" setting and not my home page - HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs - change "blank" to whatever you want Change Site IE Button brings up on your Keyboard (HTC) Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD\PieHomePage". You can either delete the value completely and get a LOCAL windows default page like I do or put in the site or local file of your choice. Many people have experienced the DSOD i.e. the phone's LEDs still blink but the device won't turn on and needs to be soft-reset. I'm collecting all the things we can do here to avoid DSOD. I haven't completely gotten rid of it, but I'm down from "DSOD after literally every hour" to "once a week". - Disable the automatic ActiveSync checking. This is the official solution Verizon Data Technical Support gave me. "Stop Activesync". Yes, VZW Support told me to follow those clumsy steps. - Do not install software on the storage card that might trigger automatically. That means: Absolutely no today plug-ins, no ring tones, nothing that runs in the background, and nothing that could accidentally be triggered if you hit one of the buttons of your device. - Do not store data that might be accessed automatically. Same thing. Basically, do not store mail attachments on the storage card if you have wireless sync. - Close programs that use the storage card before turning your device off. Magic Button is an excellent tool to do this. - If you do install programs on the storage card, do NOT use the "Programs" window or the start menu to start them. Instead, use a File Explorer to run them. If you use "Programs" or the start menu, that program will be in your list of recently accessed applications in the start menu. So the next time you turn your device on and click on the start menu, the system will access your storage card to load the icon of the application - this will create a noticeable delay of several seconds, if not DSOD. - You may try disabling the auto-shutoff of your device. Personally, I don't do that, but many people in this forum have successfully avoided DSODs by preventing their device from going into sleep mode in the first place, with just the backlight turned off. - Get a good holster or find another good way of transporting your device. It seems to me that physical impact can cause DSODs. It might be a bad idea to carry the phone in your pocket. Try a good holster (and stay clear of the Verizon holster - my personal favorite is the Seidio holster, but check this forum first before making a decision - there are good reviews for most available holsters available). - Don't randomly install crap. Every single piece of software you install could interfere with your system. Limit the software you install to what you really need. Check the forums, some people named a few programs that explicitly did not work for them. Please send me things to add and I'll edit this entry if your suggestion has been proven to help. The main thread to discuss DSOD is here - please don't shift it over into this thread. Remove Battery Icon on System Tray But it wont remove the batt icon on the top Change this registry key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power] "ShowIcon"= to a 1 Automatic/Manual Time Sync (also Voice Privacy) DO NOT EDIT YOUR REGISTRY IF YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.... Edit Regkey HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting Look for HiddenTimesyncPage and set the value to 0 (repeat for HiddenVoicePrivacyPage if you wish) Now... When you got to Settings -> Phone -> Services you should see Time Synchronization (and Voice Privacy if you edited that key as well) Active Sync Solution to Battery Drain Problem think I have a solution to the Battery drain problem with the XV6700 PDA phone. It looks like Ative sync is trying to come on and sync draining the power from our units. Talked to a verizon tech. who provided the available info. Hope it helps. Sure has been an irritant not being able to trust my phone. Here's the instructions: Go to program files Go to active sync Go to menu Go to add server source (add a fake server and settings) Once that is finished Go to Schedule and set to manual Go to options and delete exchange server from options Working good so far. For the first time I have had 90% power all day long. Always before it would go down to 60% power or less in one day with no phone calls or gaming. Please note that some have reported this "trick" is not compatible with the NEW Sprint AKU2/MSFP Rom update. Others have reported it works with the ROM update if you turn off the network time sync under phone settings Edit the extended dictionary! look no further. wow it seemed so difficult at first...but i found a .zip file that contained a .cab deep in one of its directories and it's a very small, simple dictionary editor. you can add, delete or edit the words in the dictionary...as well as changing their "weight." the default and lowest weight is 3 and the highest is 113...i read somewhere that it is recommended that you set new words to 3 and let them change their weight automatically (the file is dynamically updated by the OS based on the frequency of use). click "about" to see the instructions (they are cut short but i think everything important was covered). you must click file/save and then file/reset before any changes will be saved/take effect. if you exit the program without reseting, any changes will be lost. if you click file/open, you will lose your changes because it will reopen the current .dat file. to edit the word, highlight it and it will appear at the top of the screen. then change the spelling and click file/save. remember to soft reset. i think this pretty much covers it - remember the phone already has a built in dictionary that has many words...this file cannot be larger than 7-8k apparently and so you shouldn't just add as many words as you can think of...just ones that don't show up with autocomplete that would be useful for you. it's also useful to edit out the words you don't want to show or that are spelled incorrectly. Change Solitaire Graphics You may have noticed that the graphics in solitaire look horrible. Indeed they look like they have not been updated since Windows CE 1.0. The truth is that somebody at microsoft simply forgot to include the updated graphics in Windows Mobile releases for QVGA devices. Fortunately the updated graphics are stored in a seperate file that can simply be added to the "/Windows/" folder. The file is pegcards.96.dll Simply copy the file into your /Windows/ folder. Run solitaire. If it did not work, try soft reseting. I'm not personally all that crazy about the updated graphics, but they are definitely better. Increasing Speaker Volume Try increasing the value in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Phone/"Vol" I cranked it up to 95000 (original value is 65535 and that increase the volume substantially, I don't know what it will max out at or how it will effect battery power (I don't even care, as long as the volume is louder). Modify the Low battery warning Browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\ Create a String value named "Default" and set its value to "Low battery warning". Now go to Start > Settings > Personal tab > Sounds & Notifications applet > Notifications tab, select "Low battery warning" in the "Select an event" drop-down list and you can customize it." Additionally, another poster wrote: "Change options value to 1073741833... not exactly sure what this references but what it does is allow for the repeat box to not be greyed out anymore under sounds and notifications. This is the same value that is listed under the reminders entry, thats where I got the idea from. Ok so now turn off the ppc, soft reset and when you come back up you are going to have access to Low battery under sounds and notifications with all the options available. (Turn off repeat)" Dialer codes ##DEBUG# - Opens a page called field trail. Shows the cellular radio debug info, signal etc...

It flashes the screen but nothing else. perhaps a modem reset? ##DIAG# - Passthrough enabled ##PREV# - Allows you to set the p-rev of your phone How to hide the battery icon from the top bar You'd need to add a DWORD ShowTitleBarBattery with value 1 in the registry entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell Extend the timeout of the Keyboard LED HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QkeyLedTimeout You can set it at 15 but you can have it set to whatever you wish Force the data connection HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\HiddenModeOperationPage Change from 1 to 0 Save and soft reset After resetting, go to: Start > Settings > Phone > Services > Mode of operation You will now have 3 choices, Hybrid (default), EVDO, and 1X. This is great for those stuck on the fringe areas of 1X and EVDO! How to create a start menu shortcut and get it listed under Programs (for a program that's not actually installed) Hook phone up through Activesync Navigate to the folder containing the program that you need a start menu shortcut for. Highlight the .EXE file, right click and create a shortcut. (You can rename it if you want, like delete "shortcut to" out of the name) Next, move the shortcut to this folder: Device\Windows\Start Menu\Programs There will now be an option to link to that program in the start menu, it will also be listed and can be launched under "Programs".

Note: ActiveSync on your device works with WMDC on computers with Windows Vista, and with ActiveSync on computers with Windows XP. * Locating media downloads - When You Download music, ring tones, or videos from a Web site, the files will be added automatically to the appropriate folder. For example, ring tones will be added to the My Ringtones folder. * Locating program downloads - Program files behave differently than media files because they must be installed after they have been downloaded. When a program is installed, it will be stored by the device in an appropriate location. For example, a game will be installed in the Games folder. Overview of adding a program to your device You can add a program to your device by: * navigating on your computer to the Web page that has the program and downloading it directly to your device through the USB cable; or * downloading the program to your computer and then moving it to your device by using ActiveSync or WMDC; or * navigating to the Web page on your device and then downloading the program.
