Flash light for is disabled - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hello
I just upgraded my device to official Windows Mobile 6.5, now I found that the option "Flash light for" is disabled and not clickable for new text messages, emails and missed callI
It was enabled in 6.1.
What's wrong?
Thanks

Could you clarify. Are you looking for the old Flashlight App?
If so there is one on freewarepocketpc.net and they also have an app store you can install. The one I use is called Mobile Flashlight.
Are you saying the buttons for new texty messages and so forth are not working? Did you use a cooked ROM? If so which one?

Go to Settings -> Sounds & Notifications.
Click "Notifications" tab.
Select "Messaging: New text message"
You will see that "Flash light for 5" minutes is disabled.
How can I enable it?
Thanks

You just taught me a new feature. I'm not sure why that wouldn't be disabled. I'm using Energy ROM with WinMo 6.5 Build 23554.5.5.0. I'm not sure if it is build specific or something from your carrier. If you are not apposed to a Cooked ROM you shouldn't have this problem.

this has been solved a couple times. you need to change available options registry entries in the notifications key folder. i think ill make a cab if i get some time.

Great, never would have thought of that. Thx.
does anybody know if there is a hack to disable the popup that appears once a text message is sent? I really want to get rid of it
Thanks
I've found this
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Inbox/Settings/SMSNoSentMsg
to disable it but when I get to the Inbox section there is no Settings folder? All I have is SendDriver or Svc folders???
I have an Orbit with WM6 Black&Blue 4.3 ROM

You have to add the Settings key, and the SMSNoSentMsg DWORD.
Brilliant - sorted, thank you!

WM6.1 & SMS

I have a question. I'm not sure if it's WM6.1 related, or if it's built into the ShadoW..
But when i view text messages now, they show up as a "conversation" .. which i din't mind, but i can't seem to move the messages into another folder. Infact, i can't even create a new folder in the tree.
The "Move" option is still there, but i can't do anything with it. The reason i "move" the messages is to clean up work and personal related messages. now they're all stuck in my inbox.
Is it a feature of WM6.1? Or is it a feature of the ShadoW install?
i have some problem too
anybody have a solution ?
i want to work with old sms system
i was never able to create a folder for the sms, i dont think it s an issue about wm 6.1
Aliencurv,
I'm guessing that 6.1 uses threaded SMS, which is a new feature. The previous version of WinMobile (6.0) used the standard SMS format that you are used to.
I don't know whether you can deinstall this feature in 6.1 or if its cooked into the ROM. What I can tell you is that it is possible to create subfolders in 6.0 and move stuff around. I do this all the time.
If you can't deinstall threaded SMS from 6.1 and if sub directories are important, you may have to move back to 6.0.
I have to say I have only briefly beta tested 6.1 so I can't say for sure what you can do with folders. However 6.0 is as I have said above.
Hope this helps.

I also noticed that I can't forward any messages now under 6.1 like I was able to before

u can bro.. just select the conversation intended ..select the intended messages by scrolling up & down using your DPad/Jog Scroll (it will be highlighted as u move along), when done selecting, click menu, select forward.. u good to go..
added:
see screenshot below
Thanks for your reply but it seems that you have to be in a conversation in order to be able to forward and not with a message where i didn't reply. I'm not by my computer so I'll post a screen shot later.
You disable threaded SMS by using the following key:
HKCU\Microsoft\Inbox\Setings\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisable=DWORD:1

You could always create a new folder via "manage folders" prior to WM6.1, although now it greyed out, rather than non-existent.
For those who don't like the threaded SMS in WM 6.1, you can change its style to WM 6.0 by this key:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
"SMSAvailable"=dword:[COLOR="Red"]1[/COLOR]
Change 1 -> 0 and you'll have the old SMS

Nice! Once in a while i prefer to send/receive sms's the normal way. hehe
And when threading is disabled, i could do pretty much anything that i could do before like "Manage Folders" (create/delete folders) and move messages to/from a specific folder.
Thanks!

Just disable the threading feature using the registry tweak Cludyfa mentioned a few posts above. Disabling the threading allows you to "Manage Folders" and move messages around.
I have edited the registry and disable the "threading", but with this effect, the notification (sound or vibration) for new SMS is also disable (e.g. no sound and vibration when there is new SMS and easily miss SMS/MMS), regardless how I set it in the "Sounds & Notifications".
Just wonder anyone has similar experience?

yep, i tried the tweak on two different WM6.1 roms, there's no incoming sms notification when i disable threading. I just hope somebody discovers a tweak to remedy this.
I like the new threaded SMS a lot but unfortunately my messages (restored) from before do not show up - only SMS's after I installed a 6.1 rom - the only way to read previous SMS is by going back to the old (with the regedit mentioned in this thread) or using a 3rd party program like PocketCM - anybody know how to make older messages appear in the new threaded SMS?

Cloudyfa,
Thanks for the reg tweak, its work. I try to get use to WM6.1 sms threading but still not use to it after 2 weeks... thanks anyw.

Windows Live -> no notification

Hi there,
I use Windows Live to sync my Hotmail-emails with outlook mobile. But in newer Roms (duttys 2.X) i have no sound notification if a new email arrived. in my standard o2 germany rom there was a notification.
maybe i have only in standby mode no notification but this sucks really.
maybe someone can help me please. thank you!
Hmm, in the standard ROM this is changeable. If you go to Start -> Settings -> SOunds and Notifications, then click the notifications tab on the bottom, it should have an 'Events' scroll down menu. Select 'Messaging: New Email Message' and change the sound by changing 'Ring Tone'? I think that should work, havent tried Duttys ROM though XD

I'm running into the same thing. I recently upgraded to HTC's latest Rom for the Touch HD 1.56 and now I'm not getting the email notification. I have it in settings to notify as usual but I get nothing.

Cannot select multiple files in File Explorer

Just found another problem with my TP2. I want to move some files to another location but I cannot select multiple files in File Explorer by draging the stylus to highlight them.
Is this behaviour by design or is there a bug on my device?
Shd be by default. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
I use resco for multiple file selections.
Simple.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
It works! Thx Monx!
No problem. If the avatar is you, what about gimme a simple kiss. if it not u, pls dont. i'm not gay. but ur avatar is really cute . sorry off topic. just cant resist
(you know i'm kidding)
I also was looking for this solution.
And indeed, it works.
But it introduces another problem: To switch between your mail account, you can swipe from left to right.
But after this patch, that doesn't work anymore
So I've put the old setting back.
@ronh
can u give more details about email switch by swipe mate?
in manila or messaging app? mine is just fine. maybe there is some tmob customization.

It's in the messaging app, not in manilla.
When you're in the messaging app, and you move your finger from left to right, it toggles between the configured mail accounts.
In mine TP2 for example: Outlook - Gmail - SMS (and then it starts over with Outlook.)
And although my provider is TMO, I have an unbranded Touch Pro2 WWE edition.
@ronh
Ok mate, got it, thanks (i always use navigation pad with raphael to do this)
Just for info, in wm6.5, we can swipe to switch between tab (iehone settings). So it cause a side effect in messaging.

Indeed, that's a problem.
The Xperia I had recognized if you are using the finger or the stylus. When using the finger the application scrolls and when using the stylus you can draw a frame to multiselect items.
Maybe that's possible with the TP2 too?

Maybe it is related to OS build features or AKU changes.
Surely by disabling that reg key you're pretty much switching touchflo off?
So scrolling of anything in any WM apps (contacts, text messages, emails, calendar entries) will no longer work without using the scroll bar?
I just checked stock shipped Raphael (SEA 20764) OEMDrivers rgu, the value is set to 1 by default. And yes, messaging still scrollable to switch email account
I can still left< >right scroll between email accounts after this tweak.

after this tweak can you make a zoom to photos with stylus or rotate photos...????
You mean in photo albums? I have never been able to do either, even before the tweak.
I can double tap the image to enlarge it, or use the slider at the bottom of the screen to zoom in.
In any case, the inability to group files together in File Explorer is more of an issue for me than being able to rotate a photo (can always turn the phone 90 degrees instead), and the registry tweak has fixed that.
Very strange, just tried it again: With the patch --> no swiping, undoing the patch --> swipings works.
Too bad, I'd loved to have the best of 2 worlds like Mesquire...
(I guess she looks the TP2 lovely in his display )
Hi all,
The easy way to select multiple files in Explorer is the Windows way of selecting multpile files. Just press CRTL on your keyboard (you have one ) en select the files you want... It's Windows isn't it?

so weird! My TP2 suddenly lost it even with this set to 1
already tried rebooting: still nada.
UPDATE:
on further investigation, I found I can select multiple files only in some folders, e.g., root directory of the storage card, My wallpapers, Templates, files and folders directly under My Device, Application Data, Program Files...
but not files directly under My Documents, whether under My Device or storage card
UPDATE #2
The only way to have the ability to select multiple files in any folder AND keep left< >right scroll to switch email accounts is to set the it to 1, but not reboot. If I reboot with it set to 1, it behaves like the above.
Right now I have decided to set to 1 only when I need to select multiple files with the stylus, and change it back to 0 thereafter, or before a reboot. What a pain!

True
but I prefer doing in portrait - if I open the keyboard to use its CTRL key, the screen switches to landscape mode.

Settings tab and SMS sent sound help

I have two questions (stock Sprint TP2):
Is there anyway I can have the settings tab in the start menu go to the windows settings when I click it rather than have it go to the TF3D settings? Maybe a registry edit?
When you send text messages and you get the SMS sent notification, it pops up and it plays a sound, but the sound just stopped playing for me. Nothing was installed/changed to cause this and I've tried messing around with the sound settings, but it doesn't seem like there's anything that can enable/disable that sound, so I'm not sure what happened. Would I need to do something in the registry for this too?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

It looks like that might be for 6.5? I'm on 6.1 and don't see a StartInfo under the Shell folder.
I have the same issue with my sound notification for sms, just stopped working, anyone know of any workarounds?
