[Q] deactivate homebutton? - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everybody,
there was a tweak to deactivate the homebutton for waking up the display as the on/off button does.
you had to go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and eliminate the word "wake" out of the line „key 102 HOME WAKE“ in the
files “sec_key.kl”, "qwerty.kl" and "gpio-keys.kl".
I loved it because in that way, my note wasn't activated in my pocket all the time.
I tried the tweak again for the note 2, but it didn't work.
Anyone any idea how to get the same result for the galaxy note 2 ? :crying:
Edit: works now! Seems that it didn't save the changes correctly.
Thread can be closed as resolved.

The "Straight Talk" Function not working anymore

The "Straight Talk" Function not working anymore
I have checked all the setting and make sure the function is enabled. I have also tried to hard reset the device and the "Straight Talk" Function works fine again, after I installed the top bar, Bluetooth tweak etc... the "Straight Talk" Function not working anymore.
Any idea how to solve this? Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks a lot
Other than the obvious: hard reset AND install those tweaks one by one to see which one breaks the Straight Talk feature, no ideas.
On a related note, it would be nice to start a HTC TP2 thread here, where people would list their tweaks AND what things those tweaks break.
That would save a lot of duplicate debugging efforts by readers here.
We could just share in one place what tweaks work and which ones break the phone's features.
I think reading somewhere here said that use Bluetooth tweak will disable speaker function. try with out BT tweak and then try after apply it to see if it is the case for you.
Gyrator 2 + Straight Talk = Fail
If you install Gyrator 2, its default setting is to hang-up calls when you turn the phone on its face. Be sure to disable the event 'Hang Up (Phone)', which nearly caught me out.

Is the G-Sensor Calibrated?
Is the surface perfectly flat? It doesn't work on my leg, but does on my desk
Dave
What Dave says, then if it still doesn't work:
Go to Phone Settings - scroll right to Advanced tab.
Tick 'Turn speaker on when device is placed face down during a call'.
If it's already ticked, untick and tick again, then reboot.
Also, as a side note, if you update your thread when you've solved it, that will help others who get the same problem in the future.
it doesn't work on my desk......and am sure it's activated from phone advance setting....
and regarding G-sensor.....it works perfectly!!!
Thanks for the heads up brynweb.

Is there a TiltBacklightFix cab for the Tilt2?

Hi. I've been having an issue with the backlight not retaining its setting when the phone is powered down and powered back up again. The backlight reverts back to the 10-second setting, meaning that it dims after ten seconds as opposed to any other adjustment that I attempt to make. Yesterday, I came across a TiltBacklightFix cab intended for the original Tilt phone. Is there one available yet for the Tilt 2? Does anyone know when or how I would be able to get this? Thanks for the help. (I asked this question in another thread, so I apologize for the repeat; it's just that I'm not sure if those threads are still being checked by anyone. It's a frustrating issue that I'm trying to resolve!)
It seems that when the Tilt comes out of standby or power off, the system sets HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight back to 8 seconds. I've created a reg file to set this to 2 minutes (120 seconds). Although not automatic, I created a link to the reg file and add it to my start menu, so its 2 clicks to set back while I'm utilizing the device.

ATT Tilt 2 rom problems

Hello everyone,
I just bought my ATT tilt 2 and I have a few issues that I would like to address. If you guys can help me address them it would be greatly appreciated.
(1) When I get a call and message at the same time, my phone doesn't stop vibrating even when I am in a call and the other end can hear a buzzing noise.
(2) In my message tab, I have a '1' icon showing that i have a new message but I have no new message. I even deleted all the messages and still it does not go away. Therefore TouchFLO is also showing me '1' new message all the time.
(3) In my previous phone (omnia), I could hit any of the front hardward key to light up the phone then I could unlock it. but that feature does not seem to work in this phone, I have to everytime hit the power key to go in and out, therefore I find no use for the lock feature. I changed the setting for it to never go on standby but then the screen always on (low visibility) and that would probably use up alot of battery.
Any fixes for these problem?
I do not mind changing ROMs but I have no idea which ones are stable and how to go about changing them. I can look up on how to change them but I need to know what people are happy with. I do not want to keep changing ROMs.
Thanks Alot for your help
Have to push power button to wake up device
I have a TILT2 and it sucks to have to push the power button to wake it up. Does anyone know how to modify this?
I would like to push one of the front buttons to wake it up as they are more accessible.
Thanks.
Number 1 is weird. Maybe try a hard reset.
Number 2: Go to Start>Settings>Today do to "Items" tab. Uncheck TouchFlo3D, and check Messaging. Hit OK, and go back to the Today screen. There should be some stupid welcome message from Microsoft in the text messages (for some reason doesn't show in TF3D). Delete it, and you can go back into the Settings and turn TF3D back on. The "1" message icon should be gone
I had the same problem, and this worked for me.
number three:
Try this link from XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578061&highlight=wake+device+button
If you want to wake up TP2 by any hardware keys, please try: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\OEM\KEYBD "KeyLock" = 0 (default is 1) then Reset..

Screen Dims (changing settings doesn't help)

I have a Tilt 2, so does my Wife and my Father. This is the 3rd HTC device i've had (mogul, diamond). This setting should be pretty easy.
So my Dad is complaining about the screen dimming really quickly, I change the settings to 2 min. seems to work well for a while. Then he tels me it's still doing it. I check his settings and its back to 10 sec. we go through this a couple of more time, I'm thinking he is changing it and doesn't know it.
So we just turn off the dim feature (on battery) Today he says it's still doing it, we check his settings and the dim feature is turned off, still! but i saw it go dim after 7-10 secs.
Any ideas? Am i missing a setting, i have done mine and my wifes with no problems.
does he have his backlight on auto adjust?

Probably, but i have never see such a dramatic change with the auto adjust. it doesn't seem to matter how much light there is. and it's consistantly 7 to 10 seconds.
I tried the at&t "chat" help, they were worthless.
maybe try turning it off. maybe need to do a soft reset on the side of phone.
we turned it off (unchecked it) but it still dims the backlight, never seen anything like it, i will try the soft reset tomorrow. hopefully that will work!
I had the same issue...
I created a reg file to manually fix. What is happening is when the device wakes up from screen sleep or changing from external to battery power, WM6.1 changes this key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\BatteryTimeout to 8 (seconds in hex).
I used my reg file and added to my start menu (you could also assing to a hardware button if you have the right tools), and run it when the device sets it to 8 seconds. Its a couple of clicks, but less then navigating to the UI settings.
The reg file is set for 2 minutes. Edit as you wish, but keep in mind you need to convert the seconds to hex.
Send it Back!!
The AT&T folks said to send it back (its still within the 30 days) Dad also told me that the speaker sounds funny, i really didn't believe him, thought it was just "different" from his old Razor.
So we tried it i used his phone and called him using mine, dang if it didn't sound funny!
So i am on the phone getting another sent!!
Thanks for helping!

Question about keyboard behaviour (HTC Touch Input for Pocket PC v2.1)

I've been playing with my new Touch Pro 2 for a couple of days. Very nice device, but like any new technological tool it's taking some time to learn my way around.
There are two silly little things about the software keyboard (Touch Input for Pocket PC v2.1) that are driving me insane:
Firstly, it gives a little vibration feedback with each keypress that, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to turn off.
Secondly, I cannot work out how to make the keyboard drop down and disappear - with my old TytnII pressing the little keyboard icon on the screen would drop away the keyboard, but now it brings up a menu page (and there's no menu option either!).
I'd really appreciate some help on these two things - I'm sure it will turn out to be something painfully obviouse!!!
Thanks!
Solution to 1 problem!
Just in case anyone finds themselves in a similar situation, the keyboard can be dropped down again by pressing the keyboard icon on the middle-bottom of the screen BUT it must be pressed on the left side of the icon in Windows 6.5.5. (If you press the right side of the icon you get the menu options - I think this is a result of the old option arrow being hidden under the keyboard icon in 6.5.5 ROMs).
Still no solution to turning off the vibration. I now think it's an error (one of many) in the cooked ROM as the menu item seems to be just missing!
...and solved the other problem
again, just posting this in case anyone reads this thread later in hope of answers!
So, it seems some smart cookie at HTC decided weshould be allowed to turn off the keyboard vibrations (we clearly can't be trusted with such important decisions!) so there is no way to do it from the menus.
Luckily Miri developed a tool to control this on the HD2, and from my initial trial of the disabling cab on the touch pro 2, it seems to work.
