dimmed screen while receiving message? - Dash 3G, Snap General

Hey Guys and Gals,
I have a small question and I hope somebody knows the answer.....
I'm having a Snap ans I was wondering if if could be possible by settings to leave the screen dimmed while getting a text....
usually it brightens up and turns on as soon as you get a message, but I dont want that
Is there somebody who knows, how to disable the screen from being turned on while receiving a message??
Thanks anyway for any reply/feedback
Regards Jeroen

i think that might just be part of the background sms process. i don't believe there is any hidden registry value to change it.

You could try this reg hack:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000001

Phone Skin

Hi all,
It's freezing in London, UK! Anyways...
I hate the o2 phone skin I am stuck with, I noticed once before after a hard reset there was a much nicer skin - im guessing it was the default WM5 skin...I know it was blue... Well - I want it back ..
So today's question from me..
How do I change my phone skin.. WITHOUT HARD RESET..
Ta
lol..its bloody freezin!..
here u go...speeded up my exec..and actually prefer the simple default skin anyway..use resco or any other registry editor
To set or remove the operator phone skin
The setting is at 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin'
The 'Enabled' DWORD value can be set to '1' to show the operator skin or '0' to show the default skin
wow that is so much faster! Thanks!
Although - I was talking about a completely different skin? Unusual!
Ahh well this one is just what I need - a phone.
Ta!
The problem with method is that you lose the button for video calls. Is there a way around it?
Thanks

HI,
I tried the buttons and I cannot get video calls with the default phone skin (as explained above).
Thanks.
the most interesting about it actually is that it will give you 10 Megs of RAM...if you can live without the videocalling.
My videocalling button appears to work. :?

How exactly do you get that extra space?? Does it require a hard reset or can you delete the extra files? If the latter which are the correct files to delete?

Customize LED

I want to customize the LED for status of signal (green if available, orange if non signal), for missed calls or missed SMS.
Any have the solution?
Not yet, but I have noticed that there are actually two light 'bars' one on each side of the ear piece, I am looking into it.

The right hand 'light' isn't the light you might think
It's a light sensor which measures the light conditions where the keyboard will be turned on when it's too dark...
so it's not a light, but a SENSOR

I am working on this as I find time. Can you look in the registry at HKCU/Control Panel/Notifications/Led and tell me what the value of the TimeOut is set at?
Value LED Time out
Can you look in the registry at HKCU/Control Panel/Notifications/Led and tell me what the value of the TimeOut is set at?
In my HTC Snap the Value data is 30, but I don't think my Led is flashing voor 30 minutes.
Is this the right value?

That is the correct value. I am still looking through the registry, but it may be something in a dll which would really be crummy.

Very cool..looking forward and wish u lots of free time
My TimeOut value is 30, too.
It seems that the secret may be in allledmgr.dll
I am totally unfamiliar with editing dll files so if someone wants to take a try at it, go ahead. It looks like this file contains the flash rates, colors, etc.
No sooner did I give up and it came to me that what we need is not there rather than change what is there.
If you want the LED to blink until you acknowledge the message/notification you need to add a DWORD entry to the following paths in the registry. The DWORD that you want to add will be named "Duration" (without the quotes) and give it a DWORD Data of "0" (zero without the quotes).
For SMS: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65B-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
For Missed Call: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D660-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
For Reminders: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{15F11F90-8A5F-454c-89FC-BA9B7AAB0CAD}
The above work on my device. I do not use the built in VM or Email, so I can not confirm the following two entries so if someone would like to try and let us know, I would greatly appreciate it.
For Email: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
For Voicemail: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D661-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}
I still believe the secret to the colors reside in the dll posted above.
Hello,
many thanks for your help.
It functions very well.

LED blinking
No change over here!
Also the suggestion of Ookba to use automatic keylock doesn't make the timeout of blinking any longer.

Interesting. Are you using Ookba's Rom?
I would check to make sure that you are in the right location and that the Value is correct. I will make a file that will do it automatically when I get a chance. The locations are so similar I was putting my values in the wrong location at first.

How to turn off screen off on call?

Hi,
Wonder if someone can give me a quick answer to this problem...basically when I make a call the screen automaticaly turns off after a few seconds until a hardware button is pressed...is there anyway to turn off this feature? Just that I want pocketshield to completely control the way the screen turns on/off during calls? A registry edit perhaps?
Thanks
HD Tweak (http://montecristoff.webs.com/hdtweak.htm) will sort that out for you. It's one of the first options.
hi,
look to this prog,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=488991
have fun
I've got HD Tweak but changing the settings for sleep to off doesn't make any difference.
Also have Touch In call tweak - its a good program but would prefer not to use too many programs and if pocketshield can do the same thing I'd prefer that.
I'm using Duttys 6.1 ROM is this anything doing with HD tweak not working? Does anyone know the registry key to change the screen going to sleep on making a call?
Thanks

Use your registry editor regedit.exe, should be one already on your rom. If not on your apps list try in /windows

will this tip affect only while on call?
thx
I use:
Touch_InCall_Screen_Tweak v1.1.2.CAB
When holding the HD vertical the screen is dark en doesn't react to touching.
When you hold your HD horizontal the screen is active and can be used as normal.
This works only when a call is active.
Good luck!

How to Disable Auto Screen Lock ?

Hey,
can anyone advise me on how to disable automatic screen lock when powered up from standby?
Thanks!
Just want to know the same.
It is very annoing.
Is this not possible?
Is it a part of Sense - does the screen lock dissapear when Sense is disabled?

There is no solution for this.
Is "HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and change DeviceLockWhenSuspend to 0" not doing it??
Is the lock a part of SENSE?
Speaking personally (and unless I am missing the spectacularly obvious - which is always a possibility) this key doesn't even exist in the registry of my device.
I also have a sneaking suspicion that it may stop the slider as well and I'm happy to keep that. I just don't want to have to enter my damn password evety time...
I dont use S2US and I dont have this key in my registry of my HD2. Any other registry hack?
The one from tboy2000 works for Windows default screen lock. Thank you!

is there a way my phone will wake upon receiving a text?

is there a way my phone will wake upon receiving a text?
tnx guys for the help..
A utility called BsB Tweaks will allow you to enable such a feature. As i'm a forum newbie i can't post the link but I'm sure someone else will
Or just search the HD2 forum for BsB.

CHTEditor doesn't do that. He does need BsB (or the registry tweak that BsB applies).

Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0
That will turn the screen on when you get an sms msg.
