Resume from Windows Mobile Side? - Shift General

In the power settings on the WM side, I can set to "Turn off device if not used for x minutes". When the device turns off, how do you turn it back on?
The only thing that I have been able to figure out, is to use the Shift Control on Vista side to Reset SnapVUE. Am I missing something?
I am running ThaiHugos snapvue+gps rom.

i believe it's auto...
i believe that when you press the button to go to the snapview side it gets swiched on automatically...

That is the first thing that I tried. And the screen remains black. I also tried to press the button to go to the snapview side, and then slide the power button (the same as bringing Vista out of sleep). No go.

Did you try pressing it twice? When the screen powers off, pressing the "Shift" button will shift the device to Vista but the screen will be blank if Vista is not running. Pressing it again shifts it back to SnapVue and the screen should come back again.
At least that is what happens with the stock rom!

Go to settings -->connections-->USB to PC and check "enable advanced network functionality" for some reason this causes problems with resuming.

Thanks! Works again. But it is a bummer as I cannot use USBTool when this is unchecked.

If someone would make new version of usb-tool that unchecks that setting if it is registrysetting and maybe sets "turn of device if not used" to "never" when usbtool is in use. When querying usbtool to close it would undo those changes. This would not be hard to do after all?

In that case, do let us know when you've done it.

I have done launcer that first sets Enable advanced network functionality unchecked via registry and then launches USBTool. After USBTool Exits my launcher sets Enable advanced network functionality to checked state. I did`nt find this registrykey for device turning off yet. I had to do own launcher because I did`nt know where to get sources for USBTool.

I didn`t find correct settings for that "turn off device if not used"-setting so I just made Power-settings to appear Before and after USBTool is executed so I can check and uncheck it easily when I want to use USBTool. Now it works everytime.

How did you make it appear before and after?

Removed the tool for a while..

I withdraw my sarcastic message telling you to make the tool yourself!

This has still one problem.. After rebooting WM side you have to manually go check and uncheck USB to PC setting and after that this works.. Sorry about it
EDIT: It is someway related how the USB-drivers are loaded? After those are once loaded you can switch between them or something, I don`t really know.. But something like this would be nice to get to the next generation of USBTool.

To get this "USB to PC" functionality work there is few registry settings that is changed. First of all there is driver setting that set is the RNDIS or Serial_Class used. Changing this checks and unchecks USB to PC checkbox. This can be found at:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers
There is DefaultClientDriver what changes between RNDIS and Serial_Class.
Other settings are found at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\ + some number. For USB Driver-settings they change between 50-135(on my machine.. I don`t know about others). For example settings could be found at:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Active\120
If you have unchecked "USB to PC" setting, you should have values:
Code:
BusName: USBFN_1_0, REG_SZ
BusParent: 5543120, REG_DWORD
Hnd: 5544944, REG_DWORD
Key: \Drivers\USB\FunctionDrivers\Serial_Class, REG_SZ
Name: COM8: , REG_SZ
For me those BusParent and Hnd settings are something that I don`t understand. Those values varies each time you check and uncheck USB to PC CheckBox. If this could be found out after that you could start rnaap.exe and rapiclnt.exe with correct parameters and after that USBTool should connect right away. So does anyone know how to know what should be used for BusParent and Hnd values. If those are wrong I get error when connecting to "`USB".
Easier solution would be to just show user this USB to PC -window for first place but it has some bug that it closes at the same second when opened with cplmain.cpl, 28 command.

Only sarcastic thing is that I shared cab which did not do the job actually. It worked for me 15 times but after that I was in trouble again.. but after all device turning off-settings worked fine.

Tried also with IOCTL_UFN_ENUMERATE_AVAILABLE_CLIENTS and IOCTL_UFN_GET_CURRENT_CLIENT. But available clients returns only current client so this was a dead-end too.. I have to give up.

Just a quick question, does the stock ROM have power off after X enabled?
I have disabed power off and have no probems now with any change in battery life (using thaihugo's myself) and just shutdown the screen with the screen switch button. Always comes up then and have no data disconnects.
Just wondered if this should be the norm as never looked at the default setting on the stock ROM.

Unusual 12# icon

I have a strange icon on my DUal's desktop - next to the network indicator at the top 12# appears, along iwth a "Notification" at the bottom left. When this is clicked on, a blank box appears.
Anyone know what this is?
Jon
Hi - try going to start/ settings/ and untick "prompt if device unused" for box. took me a while to work that out but obviusly means no device security, not sure if there is a fix for this
12# icon
Thanks for this - but in which area is this setting? Personal/ system/ or connections? And in which application?
Sounds like the solution, though.
J
it shows which option the on screen keyboard is in, 12# means 12 numbers, ie the keypad, you also get xt9 and abc

hi its personal, i know it varies on different devices but is is usually a key symbol which may say "lock"
Got it - but that option is greyed out (and I can only get to it after "unlocking" my device) ... curious...
hmm - not to sure then, are you you using activesync via a company server? when i used to use this it took away the option to switch the security on and off

Comm Manager help?

Does anyone know of a way to turn "Airplane Mode" and "Data Connection" on and off without using the comm manager? I can't find it but there has to be maybe a registry value that is used to turn these features on and off which a script from Mortscript would be able to be written to change these values upon a button push. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
BTW, I am running WM6.1 stock ROM if that makes a difference.

Apparently you're implying that the Long Press End Key options are no help? If so, then I totally agree because it's either an on/of for Airplane Mode or an on/of for Data Connection, argh, or just keep it in Quick List mode. If not, then you should at least check it out...
Start > Settings > System (tab) > Long Press End Key

Can't get to the settings!!

I can't open the win-mobile setting page.
If i press
Start -> Settings
nothing happens. It turns to the home screen of manila, even if i've open another tab, it will turn to home screen.
I don't know wich is the lastest software i've installed, it's a very long time ago, but the setting-screen-problem above exists till yesterday!
and because of this problem, i can't uninstall software or modify any settings...
does anybody know this problem and maybe a solutution?
i don't want to hard reset my diamond
I know this isn't a real solution, but you could try to install quickmenu. It gives you access to your settings folder and all of it's contents straight from the start menu. Maybe then you could get into settings and find the problem.

Thank you for your reply! but unfortunately the settings aren't shown in the QuickMenu too! I think my problem is deeper in the system as i thought...
it seems that the programm (or shortcut?) of the settings-page is broken...
is there a shortcut in the windows folder (or a registry-entry) or any other way to get to the setting-page?
thanks for replies....!

HELP!!! My Homepage is gone!!

Hello.
I need your help:
I downloaded one program where you move your finger to the left (or right) on home screen, 12 (or 16) squares pop up (where, I think, you have 3 different wallpapers, and 3 themes,...) and after setting one theme (I think the 3rd or 4th square on the top), I LOST MY HOMESCREEN and I can't find it
What do I do???
remove the programe u installed..an reset leo
I don't know where it installed
go to settings> application> remove programs then select the name of what you want to uninstall and click "remove"
soft reset when that's done
That's the problem...I don't have "settings" anymore...everything is gone It looks like the whole "sense" is gone and all its goodies...
what happens if you press the "start" hard key? does that bring anything up? If it does you can get to the settings from there
I'm looking at the thread i posted earlier and it seems I'm stuck on the 3rd screen, because I also have only "phone" and "contacts" on my two soft touch keys...I can't go back to my main screen and even when I uninstalled that program (which I only presume was the right one), it's still the same...
so it looks like you *may* have disabled sense? Easily re-enabled as long as we can find a way to get you to your settings... Have you tried the start hard key at all? Otherwise, then I'd suggest hard-reset as the easiest option unless someone else can come up with any other suggestions
Yes, my hard key works, but the whole "settings" are missing, when I click "settings" it comes up the same as it did before, when I clicked "tools"... I managed to find "remove programes", but even after deleting everything that might have affected my home screen, it still doesn't work...
hmmm then I don't know I'm afraid, you might want to wait for someone else to suggest something else or just go for a hard reset
Thanks anyway, I hope I won't have to hard reset...
"to get back to TF3D, you can MaxTTM and do a TRefresh or the usual manual way of activating your Today items" <---- how do I do that?
You should be able to cable to phone to your PC, then uninstall the problem app using activesync/WMDC. Not sure if you've already tried this?
forgive me if im not entirely getting what ure problem exactly is. take it sense is gone and you can't get at settings because the settings link in start menu only links to the sense page. if you install bsb tweaks found here on xda there is an option to show original settings in start menu. do this and soft reset if the program prompts. now you should have manilla settings and settings in your start menu. go to settings then today settings. then on the items tab check that sense and only sense is ticked. click ok and fingers crossed it should be back.
WORKING!!! Thanks to all of you!!

How to re-enable HTC Sense?

Hi guys,
I have a little problem here...
I tried to disable HTC Sense using Setting tab in Sense. OK, so far so good Sense is disabled.
But what if I want to enable it again?... Sense is not present therefore Settings tab is not reacheable, and any options are not reachable even from start menu. There is no settings icon :/
Any ideas?

Start/settings it should be there, if not, there's something really weird going on on your device.
Well, if it would be so easy I would not ask
There is not settings option in startmenu... Its the mentioned problem :/
Try this:
Go into the Windows Mobile Settings, NOT the Manila Settings (you need to active the option to see them in the menu, e.g. with the help of BSBTweaks..), then go to "TODAY", next TAB (Elements in German) and see there is the Manila option. If its unselected, select it, if its selected, make it unselected, softreset and select it again! This should help you. Give it a try and let us know!

Check this out to enable the missing "SETTINGS"!

Problem is that I tried to delete directory Windows/StartMenu/Settings and create it again. Since this I can see in start menu only one icon: "Today" which is shortcut for today screen only (same as one of hard keys on HD2).
Therefore I cant install BSBTweaks because I cant reach File Explorer or Total Commander or enything else
There are only three things which I can do with my phone right now:
1. soft reset
2. connect it to the PC via activesync
3. hard reset
Connect via activesync and let us know if you have anything in the folder \Windows\Start Menu\Programs
I have everything there as before this issue. But visible in phone is only Today icon.

Sounds like you've really screwed it mate. Guess that's a lesson - don't delete folders in the windows folder!
My advice would be a hard reset. Sorry - can't think of anything else.

and who's a silly billy then! hehe. looking like a hard reset, unless someone cares to zip up their settings folder for you to try replace your folder, not sure that would work though.
The following will work even if using the basic file explorer that comes with the phone:
- start file explorer
- click on menu (right soft key) and click on "show all files"
- go to Windows
- scroll until you find htcSettingEntry.exe (will take a bit of scrolling!)
- click on it, it will open the "all settings" screen, from there you can access the "today" settings and re-enable sense
Jesus Im piece of noob... I have created Settings folder in Windows/StarMenu/Programs not in Windows/StarMenu. I moved it to correct folder and it is up and running again
Isadoras steps helped also. Using htcSettingEntry.exe file in Windows folder you can reach HTC Settings and set whatever you need.
Thx guys .)

Look in your Manila Core or Sense Core package in the .reg or .rgu for this registry entry and make sure its on 0. Or change in your current ROM using a regeditor. Soft reset and your settings icon will be back in the start menu.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo]
HideSettings = dword:0
