Do you start up and shut down your phone often enough for it to matter?

I upgraded, mine doesn't do that... I don't see an option to turn it on?

you sure you upgraded to the release or did you get the beta?

my phone is vibrating too on power on/off...

Mine is vibrating too. I can live with that though

i find I am keeping the phone in my pocket and then restarting it more often. This is the best feature of teh upgrade IMO

The release, or what everyone is saying is the release (it has the media control thing on the homescreen, I guess the beta didn't?)

i can live with it too but its annoying.

Mine is doing it, I think there's something wrong with my phone, vibrate in general doesn't always work on it, and when it does, it's weak.
Anyways -- not sure why anyone would consider this change to powering up/down an issue...?

well i happen to find it annoying and if anyone happens to figure out where the vibrate commands are located i would like to know.
i have been looking off and on and have not found anything yet.
why do people like to turn off the startup/shutdown animations and sound?
seems like the same issue to me.

the HTC s620 has always done it. No idea why they thought this was an important feature, but I'm at least used to it already since I have been running HTC's firmware since it was released.
-Mc

For some reason, the "official release" ... it that's what it is... has been defaulted to vibrate. Go into your profiles and select Normal

i change my profile all the time.
currently its on normal.
did this work for you??

for me, it dosent matter what profile i am on. the phone always vibrates at startup/shutdown...

my dash is also vibrating on startup/shutdown... i think it's t-mobile dash wm6 default...

Can we auto turn phone on/off at set times?

Does anyone know how to setup the TP2 to turn on and off at a set time each day? Many thanks.

There are plenty of apps that perform this and much more, I use G-Profile, this can be configured to turn the phone (GSM part) off (ie put in Flight Mode) at specific times of the day on specific days.
I have mine to put the phone in flight mode at around midnight each night, and then turn it back on again in the morning, I have two sets of these, one for during the week and one for weekends (like to get up later on the weekends )
This app is completely free but if you like it you can donate to the author, there are other apps like this some of them free some not.
Have a search through these forums and you will find quite a few.
Cheers

I use phonealarm, mostly becuase it as an option to run hidden behind TouchFLO. It will also change setting son Location/appointments/time I think a few other triggers. You have to pay for it, but I find it really useful. www.pocketmax.net

Thank you guys. I'll check them out.

Switching off virtual keyboard

Can anyone help me with a way of stopping the virtual keyboard from appearing whenever I open text programs in portrait mode? Very often I only want to read a file, not edit, however the virtual keyboard constantly and irritatingly appears every time I open such a file. It's there any way of stopping this, please?
Or alternatively, would there be a way of switching off the virtual keyboard altogether? I almost never use it, preferring always to use the hardware keyboard.

I was wondering about this too. I almost always use the hardware (that is sorta the point of getting a TP2) and it is really annoying how the virtual keyboard always pops up on its own, and 90% of the time I have to close it right away. I could see how it would be nice on a all touch screen phone, but for the TP2 it's a really annoying feature.

I'm hoping for a solve for this annoying problem also!

Trying to resolve this too
This is the closest solve so far:

i use fakesip
although its an all-or-nothing solution, it completely replaces the soft keyboard, supposedly you can switch back by selecting a different soft keyboard, but that doesnt work for me and i have to uninstall to get the soft keyboard back (which is fine for me since i never use the soft keyboard)

Use diamond tweak, and then go to point 20.1 and set the keyboard automatic display to disable and this will stop it from popping up everytime you open your email or sms. Not sure what the registry settings are, but diamond tweak is quite helpful for some of these issues.

Anyone found a registry setting for this yet?

Since this was an annoyance I got used to, I never really thought about it till I saw this thread. Although I do tend to use the on screen keyboard a fair bit.
Anywho, you can go into advancedconfig and under the "Input" tab set "Auto deploy SIP" to disabled. Tried it and it seems to do the trick so far.
Surprised no one noticed this before as I got the impression most people use advancedconfig.
oops, just checked and noticed this doesnt work in opera. hopefully this doesnt apply to anything else!

I've never used advancedconfig, but I might have to check that out if it provides a solution.
...thanks for the reply

By God it seems to work!
Fade2black101 you are a genius!
Many thanks for the fix

This works for me on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 to keep the soft keyboard from popping up automatically:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"TurnOffAutoDeploy"=dword:00000001

HD2Tweak works as well.

Does anyone know of a way to ONLY have SIP deploy in Portrait, NEVER when the keyboard is open? That would be my ideal setting, because I do use both, but I hate having to constantly close the SIP in Landscape mode

Am I supposed to create this entry? I don't see it on my Tilt 2. The extent of my registry editing has only been changing values to existing entries. Do I make the entry name TurnOffAutoDeploy without the quotes right? Case sensitive?
Sorry if I'm missing something obvious...

Oh how I wish something like this exists. Unfortunately I'm currently clueless on how to achieve this though.

Basically just create a DWord in the appropriate place which is within the "Sip" folder. Then click on it and make sure the base is set to "Dec." Then under "DWord Data" put the value as "00000001" Mine is set to "1" though so maybe you can set it to that and it'll still work?? Don't really know the process behind all this to be honest
Was using Resco Registry so hopefully whatever you're using is of a similar layout and format.

Thanks for walking me through that...I didn't think it worked at first, but it's been working fine after my device froze, and I had to reset it. I did a reset after I added the value but I guess it didn't stick or something...FINALLY, no more keyboard popping out!
It seems like I spend more time trying to get my phone to do what I want...than actually using it! One step closer though...

I know exactly what you mean.. I've had the Wizard and Kaiser before this phone, but because I was at uni I didnt really give a crap bout customising them too much and just got used to how crap the interface was. (especially when drunk!) That's why I had no hesitation bout getting the Touch Pro 2 once it came out. Wish I'd researched it a bit more though as I would have got the HD 2 which came out very soon after (wasn't ready to switch to android at that point). I've been trying to get the Touch Pro 2 perfect tho so haven't really been able to enjoy it properly! Constantly flashing new roms and hard resetting, etc!
On a two year contract and still got a year left, but as soon as it runs out I'm switching to android. I'd get the HTC Desire right now if I could afford it.

On a related issue: Does anyone know a tweak or fix to prevent the display, when the keyboard is closed, from automatically switching to landscape mode when the phone is tilted at a certain angle? I never need this feature and it infuriates me when I'm lying in bed trying to read the phone in portrait mode, and whenever I hit a certain angle it automatically flips over to landscape. I'd love to be able to stop that from happening.

Lol yeah I get this aswell.. I usually just switch hands!
Try downloading an app called "G-Config" which allows you to add apps to auto rotate. I think theres sum preset ones that you can remove too.
I'm sure there's registry entries that you can delete which would achieve this, but I don't know where. Hopefully someone else can help?

[REQUEST] Smart Actions, <3

Any devs want to try porting Smart Actions from the RAZR to our beloved GN <3 ?
I purchased Tasker but it's just not quite the same.
I'm sure a lot of people would be pretty excited to have the app on the nexus; it's a pretty f***in sweet app ;p

bump .. nobody? not even curious or considering trying.. or have any thoughts on the matter ? This really is an amazing app ...

Try Tasker

and i saw you had 0 thanks.. not that it matters, but there ya go XD effort is appreciated

Ha! My first thanks, haha. Didn't really deserve it though..
I thought Tasker had more features than SmartActions. From what I've seen though SmartActions is more intuitive and user friendly. Is that why you prefer it?

Many reasons, and the community have asked for Smart Actions on various devices a lot.

so what is the difference between the 2??

Look into Locale. A lot of the plugins are cross-compatible. It's a slightly different mindset (one that I actually prefer), and IMO the interface is more intuitive. Tasker profiles seem to be more event based (e.g. triggered when I connect to wifi) whereas Locale is more state based (e.g. triggered while I'm connected to wifi).

Heard of it, dunno why I haven't looked into it yet..hm
Thanks, will check it out for sure
Tasker is a massive pain in the ass lol
Edit: Gonna stick with Tasker for now, Locale seems to be too basic (lacks a lot of functions/conditions)
SmartActions .. really jelly of the RAZR for that one thing lol

anyone tried Llama? Still my favourite...

There's also Settings Profiles … it supports Locale-plugins for some weeks now.

last shot at this before I let the thread fade away
...Any word on the possibility of a SmartActions port
thanks.

I too would be interested in smart actions.
I've tried llama, juice defender, and a couple other similar ones. I want rules like when my home wifi gets disconnected, turn on BT (to work in the car), turn off wifi to save power. Once I'm at work turn off BT, and turn wifi back on. The issue I have is llama isn't accurate enough. By the time it triggers I'm half way to work because of the cell tower distances.

Im looking into this as well. I've tried tasker and Im not willing to shell out more money for apps that probably wont work.
I want a few things:
When Im home I want wifi to automatically turn off, when I leave home I want it to turn off.
When I am home I want 3/4g to switch to 2g, and back to 3g/4g when I leave home.
Also want gps to turn on, on its own when I launch mapsm/nav/places.
Any ideas??

Tasker has failed me on more than one occasion and it's just too unreliable to use daily.
Seriously is it that hard to port over an app?

Why don't you just use tasker, you can do almost anything with it. Smart Actions is extremely limiting. Anyone who roots their phone and is truly a power user uses tasker.
If you would like i can make you some profiles.

That'd be cool
But I've set up a few profiles and sometimes my mobile data wouldnt be turned back on, or my brightness, or sync..etc ... and i wouldnt notice until the next day...
Thats not good..

You might need to set up exit actions? When the task finishes it runs an action on exit. ie turn back on your data after the time period is over.

Yeah, I did.. thats what I meant.. sometimes, the exit action wouldn't be activated and so I would be stuck on Data-off or sync-off .. etc

weird, cant say ive ever heard of or had that problem unless maybe you disabled the notification icon at which point the OS might kill it.

(Q) Unlink ringer and notification volume

This will drive me insane until I figure it out or get an answer or some sort of modded rom. On my S3 these settings were independently controllable, I used sound manager (before that, Tasker) to set schedules to turn the notifications off at night. Does anyone know how to unlink these?

Don't believe it's an option on the One. Likely will need a mod in a rom

Might want to look into Tasker to automate the disabling sync at night. Or something similar. I have my phone switch into a 'sleep mode' where I can still get calls but don't get notifications.

I have tasker and used to use it a lot. Just another puzzle to work out. some people do crosswords! Can you post your tasker profile?

This bothers me as well. Anyone with a spare $.99 willing to try SwitchPro Widget? It's been reported to work on the International One.

I don't understand when people say tasker is a puzzle.. It's easy to figure out and has a lot of guides. I have it turn off wifi and data silence my phone and only ring if certain people call at night for emergencies. It also puts my phone on vibrate if I am busy with something on my calendar.

You would ask me to do that the day I send my phone off. I can't look right now, but when I created the profile I just opened the app and goofed with it. Have you checked it out lately? The new UI apparently made things much easier and I was able to cobble it together very easily. It's not selective like "only let my family" call at night.. but I did do a time event, said after 11pm, then turn off background sync .. I also set notification volume to 0. There were far more options in Tasker than HTC had available out of the gate.
If you can't figure it out send me a PM and when my phone returns I'll get that profile set backup and I can pass it along.

Thanks, I can figure it out, that is at least half of the enjoyment. The other half is sporting around the automation. Just got a lot on my plate right now, thought I might try to "cheat" off you.
