Has anyone been able to find the registry key that makes WiFi turn off when it's locked and not plugged in?
I think no one could find that till now, but you can research a little bit in the phone's regeditor and tell us if you can find something.. I searched, but couldn't find in my HD7..
coulndt find any but some of the clue point towards a D state type of thing
A) This post is a question and this forum is not for questions.
B) This question has been asked many, MANY times before (seriously, use search)!
C) There is already a thread for this kind of topic (registry tweaks).

Have a look at the form here:
http://support.catalyst2.com/index.php?_m=tickets&_a=submit
1. Submit the first page with any option (doesn't matter).
2. Type a few words like "email settings".
3. Notice the suggestions which pop up at the bottom, allowing to you find the solution without even having to actually submit your query, thus cutting down on questions which could easily be answered by the questioner themselves with a little research.
I'm not saying it will be easy, and it may very well reduce the site to a crawl, but you could have a pre-fetch on the articles held in the Wiki which would provide common solutions to a lot of threads which pop up with simple questions.
What might this require?
1. An up-to-date, correct, and well-referenced Wiki
2. Presumably a lot of server horsepower!
What will this prevent?
1. Easily answered questions like "Where can I find links to all the WM6 ROMs?
What will this not prevent?
1. Idiots who don't even read suggestions as they type their question
2. Recently solved problems in threads that get swamped by meaningless posts
3. Posts like "Thanks <insert name>, downloading now..."
Looks Good, BUT...
Looks good, but if you can't get a noob to search the forum using the provided search tools or to even correctly (correctly, being the operative word) google the site, we won't be able to get them to use this form...
Now, I do believe that you are on to something... IMHO, the search function should also include a link to google with the advanced search part already populated for searching in xda-devs... I know that there have been threads with the google links already posted, but they aren't stickies anywhere...
You are on the right track... Maybe all of the more knowledgeable members that are bother by this noob thing (like myself, since I am still a noob...) can simply add a link to the google search function in their sig, it will make it easier for newcomers to the site to locate the information they require...
Sorry, I didn't make myself clear -
The Create a thread, or Reply to thread, message box would have this feature implemented - so even as the person was typing in their mundane question, it would provide a link to the answer right in front of them which they would hopefully click before actually posting their question.
I think the search function on this forum is partly to blame, as any search under about 5 letters simply doesn't work. To make it better there are a few options:
1. Make it search Google by default
2. Make it default to replying with Posts rather than Threads (as some threads are hundreds of posts long)
3. Make it search both the Wiki and the Forum (solved with Google)

I think you have a valid point Oli. I haev seen many posts with ppl voicing concerns about the search function, and I would tend to agree that it would help if it could be re-structured. Especially with the rate that this site is growing, some search function upgrading would be a good suggestion. However, just like finding any other type of info on the net, its all about your search skills. After spending enough time using the search tools, you find tricks and techniques to narrow your results. Im happy to see this thread, and hopfully the mods will combine their powers to find a way to simplify finding info here.
I am glad that there are ppl here that realize there is an issue with the search function... I also agree that there should not be a lot of stickies, but the BEST place for it, would be in the Search FAQ.... Have any of your read it... It is not that good and as a noob, doesn't show me the best way to implement it... It just says to use the search function... If I were top dog, I might change it a little, just to alleviate some of the darn stupid posts... maybe have it come up as a precursor to registering... Not that everyone will read it, but they will see it...
Just my .02 again... I'm gonna have to get some credit around here... these two pennies are gonna start to add up...
after the upgrade it seems that the keys are not in correct place on the keyboard. pl., let me know if there is cab for cingular/ATT customers.
If you search, you will find... there are cab's for 8525 keybaord layout all over the place.. search for WMXL 8525 Keyboard Settings
If you've searched and haven't been successful, I say always look in the WIKI first. You can go HERE for what you need....
Hope this helps,
Here's how I find things:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298893
You could type in something like; Cingular Keyboard fix
You could also type in; Cingular symbols mixed up
I know you already got your answer,
but, give it a try anyway, it works great!
For example; I wanted to find info on creating my own Custom ExtRom.
So I typed in extrom, and I found exactly what I was looking for.
And I didn't have to start another thread on a question that has been asked before.
Berdinkerdickle;
Thanks for giving this guy a more practical answer. I know that I made things maybe a bit too easy by giving him the place to go, but I just was getting tired of some of the flames, etc being dished out. I agree that many new members don't search enough but also have found that searching is difficult.
I was seeking a solution that would encourage searching but not blow off the need for an answer, however you did a much better job.
Kudos!
I too was having this problem and just now did a search for the answer.. I did find it here although I ran across this flame thread before I came straight to the answer.. thats bad.
Sorry, but I don't see any 'flames' here. The first response was not real helpful, just the usual 'search' although the suggestion for the specific search was given. The second response was to give him the place to go IF his search attempts were unsuccessful. The third response was a more elegant explanation for search(es) with a practical application, and the fourth was a thanks for the third response which was better than the second! I don't see where any flames were thrown nor intended. There are too many out there already to try to find some that don't really exist!!
Hope this helps
Its in the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ermes_Registry
When applying a non-cingular ROM to an 8525 its default keyboard is different than the 8525.
The Fix:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\Qwerty]
"Layout"=263177 (decimal)
I thought this site was a forum. If people dont know where to find info they should not have to get the third degree on searching. My wife does that to me. If she has the answer she does not give it to me. I have to find it on my own.It took me an hour to find this. I hope this helps other people with their phones.
Yes, this is a Forum; below is the definition of a forum from the American Heritage Dictionary.
fo·rum (fôrm, fr-)
n. pl. fo·rums also fo·ra (fôr, fr)
1.
a. The public square or marketplace of an ancient Roman city that was the assembly place for judicial activity and public business.
b. A public meeting place for open discussion.
c. A medium of open discussion or voicing of ideas, such as a newspaper or a radio or television program.
2. A public meeting or presentation involving a discussion usually among experts and often including audience participation.
3. A court of law; a tribunal.
Nowhere is it stated that a forum is where a few people work spend a great deal of time and effort to give many people the easy way to all the answers. In this forum, the answers can be found and new answers to NEW questions constantly being debated and decided. However, if you've been a reader of the threads you would have an understanding of how things get bogged down with new people not willing to spend a little time searching for the answers to their questions that have already been answered. There's the WIKI, The Wiktionery, Individual Threads, The FTP files, FAQ sections, etc. I prefer to avoid flaming new members but when I continue to see the amount of new members who just jump into a thread with a request for help without any 'audience participation', i.e. READING, SEARCHING, I can certainly understand why some members do such severe flaming and end up leaving the forum out of frustration.
BTW, in the WIKI is a Cingular Keyboard Fix cab that would address the issue mentioned without altering the registry. A quick search reveals it HERE
Best wishes
Hi Tom,
Would it be possible to have a dedicated thread for bugs and bug solutions?
Im sorry, but its hard to expect someone to read through 50+ pages of text to not find an answer that they are looking for, or to not find the solution that they can work with. Or to not get an asnwer to questions.
We all appreciate your work, but bug issues, are really causing alot of us to get frustrated. And all we get told is "read the thread".
I dont agree with thread after thread for bug fixes, and i can see it getting annoying for you and the mods. I also dont expect to be spoon fed.
Please dont see this as im trying to complain. Im trying to improve everyones experiance of the mods everyone creates.
i dont want to discuss the bugs and solutions here, but heres the kind of bugs people seem to be having issues with.
Storage Card 2 issue
MSN issues
Backlight adjuster on HTC hometab not working
Device hanging on boot
Device backlight not switching on
having to soft reset several times a day due to hanging
crashes
Thanks. I hope we can agree on a thread for bug fixes.
I agree, even though i read up on the major rom threads several times a week it's hard to keep track. 4.0 Kept track of most bugs/solutions in the first post but it was even better done by Fracoon in the ROM NewArtemis 1.0 BetaTest thread.
Maybe we need someone to keep track of all bugs and solutions in seperate post or perhaps even wiki, so that the cooks can concentrate on other things. I was thinking of doing this but since i have limited time i just cannot promise i could keep it up.
Ofcourse i mean no disrespect, i understand it's all done in free time and am happy with what i get.
I think the storage card issue is solved in this thread.

Maybe thats not the right place for answering questions (because its the bug thread ).
But you can fix the prob with the original ringtone.
Take the original windows ringtone ring-windowsmobile (or some other) from your windows directory, rename it and copy to windows/rings.... this tone will work...
Well if you dont' want to sift through 50+ pages of the original post, you'll soon be creating a 3rd BB4.1 thread when this grows to 50+ pages! Where ever you create a bug thread you'll get a ton of responses and a lot of those will be people who just refuse to read the thread. Everyone will just be rehashing the same thing! Example - htc backlight bug, and "how do i use the cube" queries. They keep getting asked and they've been answered.
Unfortunately one way or another you'll need to sift through posts from people who don't read!

If you don't want to read / do something, why did you upgrade ?
if all people would read the posts, then this thread maybe wouldn't have 50 pages ? For me your statement sounds like laziness.

Hey guys
I bought my htc pro2 hoping I would find a forum that what not look at me arrogantly because of me being a noobie. I am really amazed here, in the other sections like TOUCH HD when I owned one the forum members used to answer and help me alot.
While here no one even bothers
I have 2 main question
1- Is there a way to write and read arabic and hebrew
2- How can I fix the gps using IGO, I noticed it is not very accuarte when it comes to its location by about some meters
I know after I wrote this no one will answer
I ran a quick search to find what you're looking for (use this link for quick finds: http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://forum.xda-developers.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all )
Here's one on hebrew support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532165&page=2
And one on IGO8 (there are several GPS threads to choose from) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562245
Hope that helps...
this is the solution to your problem--- USE THE SEARCH FEATURE!!! im not trying to be rude but thats why the search feature is there and obviously it wasnt that hard to find ur answer bc the previous poster found it quickly...again, not trying to get a tude, just trying to help
It might help if you put some clue to what you want in your title. Otherwise, someone who knows the answer may not even look.
A thread titled "I am really wondering why no one ansers my question- is it crime to be noobie" just sounds like a thread where someone is whining about not being answered.
I would title it something like "HELP: How to input arabic & hebrew? / Fix the gps using IGO?" It would help people notice your actual intent. No one is going to be doing a full text search for threads they can answer.

No, wrong.
(1) The word "HELP" does not add anything. A good title would be: Support for Hebrew/Arabic Input
(2) These are two separate topics that deserve separate threads.
Can I ask that users have access to 'delete their own thread' menu. I think this is a good idea because as I can see the threads get messed up really bad. I have created threads that no longer have any information in it that I think is appropriate and I require them to be deleted but it would be good if users could delete their own threads only.
I can relate to your case, since I too have had these thoughts. But using the "report" button to report your thread and let a mod decide would a better idea IMHO. There could be still info in there that could be useful to other users, and deleting it would lose that info.
UNLESS the data is completely absolete, I'd just lock the thread.
more people should think about changing the title name of the thread, to having [SOLVED] in the title so it can be locked, because it can still be found in the search and gone through you just cant add more to it.
This have discussed many times before and the answer remains same: No
