[Q] X2 Charging and other queries - XPERIA X2 General

Hi guys. I've been trying to search for this problems i've encountered on my X2 and i simply can't find any answers for it.
I have few minor problems which i want to ask.
1. My device keeps on charging even if the led image says that it's already 100%. I only assumed it is still charging because it is well written on its Status right above the led image.
Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this if ever? I'm worried that my battery gets overcharged if i wont to anything about this.
2. Sometimes my camera button fails to work. It happened several times now that when i try to activate the camera using its button on the right side the camera doesn't appear right away. Another thing, sometimes when i'm trying to take pictures and i pressed the camera button, the camera will just pause for a while and then green square boxes will appear on the screen. No image will be taken. Is that normal? or my camera is having problems?
3. I also noticed that the contacts are filtered by to view all contents (sim and device contacts) by default. I set mine to filter it to be able to just view the device contacts but whenever i open the contacts it reverts back to its default filtering which is "All Contacts". It is very useful at least for me to use the device as the contact's handler because my sim has limited memory and is divided into 2 parts. The first part is the one that appears and the other one can only be viewed if you disable the first part and make the 2nd part available by using the sim services embedded with it. So what i did was i copied all the 1st part and the 2nd part sim contents to my device and i was planning to hide them and use the phone's memory as the handler for contacts.
It was then that i realized the filtering problem. RIght now all copied contacts from my sim appears as well as the other part of the sim which is enabled. Which makes a lot of duplicated contacts (one from the device and one from the sim).
Is there away to make the phone permanently filtered in the device contacts?
4. I saw some of you guys teaching some members here to edit the phone's registry. Can i request for a 3rd party software to do that. Or can i just go directly to the mobile's registry and edit one of it (I don't know to do that by the way :-I )
5. Lastly, is there any way to activate the screen in order for me to unlock it? when the phone is locked and in stand by mode i can't seem to find any buttons to activate it. I am unable unlock the phone because the slide unlock button is not appearing.
What i'm doing to activate the slide unlock button is to press the power button or to slide the qwerty keyboard. I was hoping there are other ways to do it though just like on old phone wherein you can press the menu button and the asterisk key .
One last thing to end my post, please give me a Total Commander link too.
All replies would be very much appreciated sir/ma'am
To the moderators, please lock this thread if ever i violated rules. I just can't seem to locate any answers for my queries that's why i decided to created a thread with all my questions in it.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply.
Hmmmmm, regarding my query on the contacts filtering, i'm sure there is a registry tweak to for that. I was trying to look for it last night but i wasn't able to locate it.
Perhaps there are geniuses here that can do that for us.
Registry Editing to make the contacts filtered on "device contacts" by default. The default by the way is filtered as "All Contacts"

useful in contact manager - yet HTC support doesn't know enything about this.

Hello everyone,
I've discovered quite useful thing about contacts manager, but unfortunately don't know how to turn it on or off, it starts, let's say randomly.
Sometimes when (on today screen) i press right softkey which is by default assigned to 'contacts' and i get a list of names, i see something like a pop-up window with letter 'A' and by using the jogdial on the left side of the TyTN i can switch between the first letters of the names in contacts. Then i can select exact name without scrolling through all of the contacts in between A and f.e. G.
Unfortunately i don't know what is the cause of starting this feature, people at HTC support don't know nothing about it, and told me that it must be some kind of software glitch however I find it very useful, maybe someone else got the same thing? And someone does know how can it be turned on that it happens every time i want to find a contact? that would really be operating with one hand then
thanks in advance for opinions and advices
If it's what I think you mean, go to contacts.
For example, hold down down (on the dpad). It'll start scrolling the list for approx 5 seconds. After that, the large letter A will show up. Use the dpad to select appropriate contact start.
Otherwise use the sip to start typing your contact.

It works on all variants of the Tytn, you just go to contacts, press and hold down on the d pad and in a couple of seconds the 'pop up window' appears with a large letter, it just makes it easier to scroll through the contacts without having to get the stylus out.
Thanks guys !!
That's the 'pop-up' that I meant. Pressing and holding d-pad works. However I occasionaly get it when using jog-dial. In my opinion that would be even better for operating TyTN with one hand. Any clues on this one?

disable both action screen, and dialer when slide open

Hi, I usually slide open just to power on the phone.
So, I would like nothing to happen when I slide the phone open when on the today screen..
Does somebody have an idea how to do this?
Are you talking about the Keypad QuickTasks?
You can easily find the option on Start -> Settings -> System Tab -> Keypad QuickTasks
Yes, I mean the dialpad quicktasks.
When this is disabled I get the dialer instead.
As a "workaround", you could just press the red "hangup" button after opening the phone to return to the home screen...

Oh.. I've been using a certain "Yet another lock app" v1.2 or something like that... and I always set mine to lock and suspend everytime I do a right to left sweep (via FTouchFo). And everytime I slide the keypad, it automatically unlocks and nothing comes up; no quicktasks nor phoneapp). I'm not kidding... I don't know if it's a good "side-effect", but that's how it works.

I actually prefer this than any other locking app out there since this app uses the same built-in Device Lock program with a few nice modifications.
Enjoy!
Optional Alternative
I wrote a mortscript file to disable both menus
1. Extract
2. Place "Kill" folder in Program Files
3. Place run.mscr in startup
4. Reset
Enjoy
Simple fix for this
Hi there,
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.

Agreed Thanks fenallen
i've come accross a problem - a reset seems to wipe the settings and has reverted to showing the phone screen???
Well it seems to survive a soft reset as well as power cycles with the battery removed so I presume you mean a hard reset, in which case ... isn't that the point of a hard reset?
I would be amazed/worried if it wasn't set back to default by a hard reset.
nope, i am on about a soft reset! i'll try again to see if it keeps the settings this time
Im happy to say it works fine, after i made a soft reset.
power on/off
it´s posible to change the action of the power buton hardkey?
thanks

My first Pocket PC, and its a touch Dual :-D Lotsa questions

Some questions for the Gurus
1.) Is it possible to add a "New Message" shortcut on the desktop of the touch dual? It has the built in home screen and I can add shortcuts there, but when I do, it just gives a list of aps to add. or maybe instead of the "notification" shortcut on the lower left corner of the home screen, I can change that to "new message"
2.) When syncing with the PC using active sync. do you always have to configure it to update either way? (eg: if conflict is found, update Phone or update PC)
- What if I change something on the PC, and I also updated something on the phone? It would be such a hassle to keep on changing the settings and trying to remember where I updated last.
3.) When I am connected to the PC via USB, it syncs right? But if I leave it connected cause I am still installing aps or doing something else, or charging the unit, it keeps on repeating the sync process over and over again. This gets troublesome when I am installing an ap, and when I continue installing on the phone, it lags terribly because its still synchronizing.
4.) My date format is currently Day/Month/Year, somehow I cant find how to change it Month/Day/Year
5.) Is their an indicator thats its fully charge? like a pop up message (aside from going through power settings)
6.) Is it possible to make categories on notes or folders or is the only way to organized them is via actual file folders only?
7.) I have MP3s on internal and external mem. When I choose an alarm, I cannot see the Mp3s that are inside the phone, I can only see the ones on the external mem.
8.) Have you guys tried 8gig High Speed Memory Sticks on your phone? Planning to get one. Speed is ok? or Will 4gig do? I will store some music, but only a few, since I have an Ipod, a few pics, most of the mem will be for applications.
9.) On the Home screen of the Touch Dual, there is a weather ap, this also updates automatically using 3g/gprs/edge, I cant find the settings to cut if off or set it to manual update cause its expensive to have it always update every time you click on it :-(
10.) How much mem should I leave internally for it not to cause problems. Ive been installing tons of aps already hehehe. But I still have a little less than half available.
11.) Will any USB cable work with this device? It seems to be a pretty standard looking USB cable. I already a PSP cable and my portable hard drive cable, they should all be compatible right? it would be neat if I could just share the Cable.
12.) When I slide out the keypad, the default text type is always XT9, is there a ways to make it just standard text input "ABC"? I usually text with a mix of English and our local dialect.
13.) On program settings, there is a button mapping ap. it says this: Button 1- Camera, Button 2 - Voice Commander, Button 3 - Record. On the touch dual there are only a few buttons, which one is button 2 and button 3? I tried all buttons, nothing seems to launch voice commander and record lolz smiley Only the Camer obviously works. I know this should be in the manual, havent had time to read it pa hehehe.
Whew, hope you dont mind the questions :-D Sorry if they have already been asked before.

The message is contextual and will change accordingly - some providers will allow you to choose what is shown on start>settings>buttons
2.) When syncing with the PC using active sync. do you always have to configure it to update either way? (eg: if conflict is found, update Phone or update PC)
- What if I change something on the PC, and I also updated something on the phone? It would be such a hassle to keep on changing the settings and trying to remember where I updated last.
No you dont have to remember - it will sort itself out and only ask if there is a conflict where you might have changed both devices
3.) When I am connected to the PC via USB, it syncs right? But if I leave it connected cause I am still installing aps or doing something else, or charging the unit, it keeps on repeating the sync process over and over again. This gets troublesome when I am installing an ap, and when I continue installing on the phone, it lags terribly because its still synchronizing.
In activesync you can choose the option of automaitc sync or when you choose to
4.) My date format is currently Day/Month/Year, somehow I cant find how to change it Month/Day/Year
5.) Is their an indicator thats its fully charge? like a pop up message (aside from going through power settings)
The LED at the top of the device constantly glows yellow when charging and changes to green when fully charged
6.) Is it possible to make categories on notes or folders or is the only way to organized them is via actual file folders only?
7.) I have MP3s on internal and external mem. When I choose an alarm, I cannot see the Mp3s that are inside the phone, I can only see the ones on the external mem.

4 gig will give you plenty of space
9.) On the Home screen of the Touch Dual, there is a weather ap, this also updates automatically using 3g/gprs/edge, I cant find the settings to cut if off or set it to manual update cause its expensive to have it always update every time you click on it :-(
In the weather app go to select city - then menu - the choices you want are there
10.) How much mem should I leave internally for it not to cause problems. Ive been installing tons of aps already hehehe. But I still have a little less than half available.
As long as you dont run loads of apps at the same time it should be fine. If its slowing down then change the x button in settings to close apps instead of minimizing them
11.) Will any USB cable work with this device? It seems to be a pretty standard looking USB cable. I already a PSP cable and my portable hard drive cable, they should all be compatible right? it would be neat if I could just share the Cable.
Yep
12.) When I slide out the keypad, the default text type is always XT9, is there a ways to make it just standard text input "ABC"? I usually text with a mix of English and our local dialect.
Search for posts - you need to do some more advanced work

I'm sure someone will pick up the points I havent
Sweet, I'm in the same boat as the topic started.
So let me add a question:
The right LED above the screen keeps blinking every ~4 seconds. Since I'm colourblind it's kind of hard for me to tell what colour it is, but its either yellow or green.
What does it mean and how do I turn it off (I know I can change some stuff in Sounds and Notifications, would that be the solution)?
Thanks and cheers cdyat for answering alot of those questions.
**It flashes when you have signal and are connected to the network. The colour changes with the status. Its green normally but changes to yellow when you have a missed call / message / reminder etc. There is also a blue led for bluetooth connections next to it. I have never turned it off but I have read a few posts that talk about editing the registry to do this. There is no simple way with normal settings** You can always PM me if its a silly question and you dont want to post for all to see.
Thanks, I posted my question on howardforums.com too and they told me the same thing. I don't really want to mess with the registry yet, since I got my phone recently. Besides, I don't mind it at all, just wanted to know why it did that.
I dont mess too much with mine. To be honest its pretty damn good as it is!!
Exactly.
As long as you don't just install everything anywhere on the internal memory, it should stay that way.
Which brings me to another question about the microSD card slot. I posted this on howardforums too, but might aswell ask here too:
Can anyone help me by telling me exactly how I can get a microSD card out of the device?
The manual states I should press on the microSD card itself to get it to pop out, but I can't even reach the microSD card with my fingers (I'm not fat ). I had to use a tool from my garage to help me get it out and I really doubt HTC had this in mind, so there should be an easier way!
Besides, when i tried pressing the card with the tool, it didn't even budge. So I just pulled it out instead of pressing it inwards to make it pop out...
I get out the microSD with the stylus, using the black broad extreme...
Yea thats a good tip, I found it out after giving it a few other shots.
Thing is, I had to press pretty hard and before, I was afraid of breaking something, so I held back.
But yea, the stylus does come in handy after all.

[Utility] AutoLock - Automatic Screen Locking Solution

I have a Kaiser, and there's nothing more irritating than accidentally bumping a button while having the phone in your pocket, then having random things in your pocket scroll through your address book until it calls someone. Or opens up IE and finds a high-bandwidth website. When you don't have a data plan.
Things like this hurt. I've been trying to find a solution to it, and I happened to stumble upon an olllllld application on another forum. It's called AutoLock. I found it Here.
Anyways, long story short, it uses the built-in Windows Mobile screen lock and turns it on whenever the phone's screen turns on. So hitting the power button is enough to lock your phone. It's super convenient, and for the most part, it's not too buggy.
I've been using this for probably over a month now. It's a lifesaver. I had the .exe on my SD card, and every time I reflashed, I had to make a new shortcut and place it into the startup folder. So tonight, I made a CAB file out of it.
I hope you guys get as much use out of it as I do.
A quick note: It runs in the background. Terminating it will not allow it to function. The CAB will add a shortcut to the startup folder, so a soft reset will start it. Otherwise you can start it from the shortcut in the Programs folder.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is there a way to disable the program window that pops up after a soft-reset?
A: There is no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
Q: When receiving a call, does the answer button and screen stay locked?
A: The answer button and the screen both unlock when the phone is ringing. If the call is answered/ignored/stops ringing, the screen will be re-locked.
Q: Will it work with my phone?
A: This program has been confirmed to work on a few models. I believe that it should work on pretty much any touchscreen device running Windows Mobile. Please, try it and tell me if it works!
Tested Phones:
Kaiser (ATT Tilt)
Touch Pro (Fuze)
Xperia

this is a very usefull program.is there anyway to disable message screen when program start after softreset?thanks a lot in advance
It's unfortunate that I didn't create this program. I only found it through about six months of searching on the internet. Maybe a friendly XDA-Developer could write a similar program and keep it updated with new features!
As far as I know, there's no way to disable the message screen on startup. Just hit the X in the top right corner, and it should minimize out of sight.
As for if it works on a Diamond... go try it and tell me how it works!
Awesome program! Thanks
Looks interesting. Thx for sharing!

So what happens when a call comes? Does it lock the answer button too? And the screen?
kull said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since it's the inbuilt Windows Mobile locking setup, when a call comes in, the phone is still locked, but the answer skin floats above the lock. So the screen "unlocks" so you can answer or reject the call, but it locks as soon as you answer or ignore it again.
I've discovered, using my Jade, that you can do the same thing by just setting the built-in Windows Mobile device lock to 0 minutes... You'd need to provide a password, though...
First press of the power button puts the phone to sleep... Press it again, it will ask for your password to unlock...

WM6.5 lock screen delay fix

I want to start this threat to put together information in order to sort out why the device lock delay (see below) appears and how to solve it.
wm6.5 device lock app has changed from "tap here and next there" to a slider style like app you know from s2u2.
problem:
device lock is enabled
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable=1
wake up the device by short pressing the power button
device lock screen is displayed instantly
it takes ~2 seconds until the slider of the device lock screen is activated and can be slided.
if you use device lock it becomes really annyoing.
there are some threads about this like this one, but the solution is not working on a Touch HD.
can anybody sched some light onthe problem why and where it appears or maybe someone already found a solution.
please post any useful information.
please do not post tips like use s2u2 or any other locking app - I do not want to use them.
the only thing i can thing of is use s2u2 or any other locking app

latest build 23001 still has this annoying delay
Iv noticed this too... The biggest annoyance for me is you turn the device on and the backlight isnt very bright, makes it near impossible to see the screen in daylight. Is it possible to have the backlight come on full when you press the power button?
i have this problem too. i think it is a serious bug of wm6.5
just hoping it will be fixed when the official release come out.
god i thought i was the only one, something about my config...
and i was exited about the new 6.5 lock screen,
but then it works like all the other M$ 6.5 sh!t, it doesn't
had to switch away from it

also find this intensely annoying! if you look, on my hd, in the top left corner a small windows flag appears to indicate that the slider is locked, it disappears once the slider is active, and there is a definite exact time out, i dont think its random or a load time
hope this is sorted cos its rubbish!

What I've done that got rid of most of the delays regarding the lock screen on my Xperia:
I got 6 cpr files from my device's /Windows directory: LS_LockScene_xxxxxxx.cpr, LS_AlarmScene_xxxxxxx.cpr and LS_PhoneAlertScene_xxxxxxx.cpr. Get files that fit the resolution of your device, they are in pairs for portrait and landscape
opened each one of them in a text editor (they are XMLs inside)
removed all "ControlSequence" sections from them (those sections are small (like 4 entries) and big (up to 21 entries). These sections are animations of arrows. Arrows will still be there after that, they just won't animate.
uploaded cpr files back to /Windows, overwriting originals
soft-reseted.
Hope it works on your devices too

yeah. and with 6.5 23003 onwards in the top right corner an "X" (for close) appears. only when it goes off you can access the slider.
it seems as if an app is started.

great. that helped a lot!
now the lock screen is flickering shortly and the whole lock screen slides in once more from the bottom to the top but then the slider is instantly accessible.
from a time perspective a great improvement!
update:
basically you can delete the whole layer
Code:
<Layer ID="SlidePath" >
...
</Layer>
which removes the animation of the arrows and the arrows themselves.
do not delete this section if you do not know in which direction to slide the button
however, the delay is still ~1 second. but i think i can live with that allthough it is annoying to wait one stupid second to proceed
the delay you get when recieving a call with lockscreen on is caused by the slide to answer feature of alot of the new dialers. it conflicts with the popup call answer screen with wm 6.5. to fix this can find a dialer that doesnt have slide to answer feature. the backlight problem came from backlight.dll in the kaiser, using a new one from stock rom now and it works perfect
If you enable the enter a pin number after slide, there is no delay at all. I know this isnt a solution i hate entering a pin. however, i have a felling the pin app is running in the background and thus you dont get the flicker where it flicks from Start menu back to the lock app. Hence if you could create a dummy pin app, it could work to stop the delay.

thanks for your reply. but i also have the delay when simply waking up the device by pressing the power button (without receiving a call)

that's true. i replaced LS_SimplePinScene_480x800.cpr with an empty one and allthough not using pinlock, the lock app did not work at all.
What if we designed something where when you slide it calls a mortscript or something and enters 0000+OK to by pass the pin screen (assuming you set pin to 0000). Then you edit the Pin screen so it is just a clear page, so you dont even see the pin screen flash up.
Not sure if this is at all possible as im not a programmer. Just a thought

good idea. maybe someone can change LS_SimplePinScene_480x800.cpr so that it does not expect the pin from screen but is embedded directly into the cpr file?
can anybody who has a better understanding of cpr files or the lock app give us some tips?
