Essentials

Below is some very valuable info I found on the web. It comes from a thread on the PPCGeeks forum. Everything for a new Touch Pro owner is here. If you have any suggestions for the list, feel free to drop a comment. I posted the source for the info also, enjoy.

Tweaks and Fixes

Basic:

• If your device is showing you random issues, such as speaker/ear piece being crappy out of the box, do a hard reset. Some have reported this simple task has solved their problems. You can do this one of two ways: either select clear storage from the system tab in settings (Start->Settings), or power off the device, hold volume down and OK, and hit the power button.
• If your data isn’t working, try this.
• Disable SMS Sent Notification: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings] Set SMSNoSentMsg to 1
• Install the Picture Mail enhancement from Sprint – run PIE, and click “Click here to check for new updates.” (if you changed your homepage, go to Sprint PowerDeck from favorites) Then download and install the cab file listed. This will have to be done after every hard reset. Still seems picmail doesn’t like to work right, though.

Phone:

• Install new Audiopara for louder volume
• Enable/Disable mute call when phone is flipped over – [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PHONE] Set FaceDownMuteRing=1 to enable, or =0 to disable. Source
• You can make your phone stop making noise when you enable/disable the radio. Edit [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction \CDMA\FlightModeOnOff] and change Sound_on and Sound_off to desired sound, or blank for no sound. source.
• Issues with answering your phone when a data connection is open (answer buttons don’t do anything)? Looks like a tweak messes up a registry key that affects this. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings], make sure SuspendResume is set to #777 (not anything containing GPRS). This issue seems to be related to Advanced Config. source
  Added 1/7/09:
• Enable wake up on SMS – you can do this via DiamondTweak (possibly advanced config too), or [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL] DisableSMSWakeUpEvent=0 (to enable waking up). source
• Set up Visual Voicemail on Sprint. More info here. THIS IS VERY YMMV.

Internet:

• This hack no longer needed on the latest version of WMWifiRouter – Disable temperature sensing in WMWifiRouter to get it to allow you to connect. Options->Configuration->Battery->Next->Next->Next->Select “Disable temperature detection”->Next. There is a bug, at least in my version, that shows “Enable temperature detection twice” however selecting the second one disables it.
• Hack Internet Sharing to work: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing] Delete Extension key, set/create MaxCMCon=0 (decimal). [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\InternetSharing\settings] Set ForceCellConnection=”Sprint” — Cabified Version Here
• Change “Reply All” in poutlook back to “Reply” – [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Servic es\OutlookEnhancement], set module to an empty string. TO revert, set module to “\\windows\\OutlookEnhancement.dll”
• Information here on GeoTagging/Automatic uploading of photos using Shozu.
• Change useragent in Opera Mobile to view full websites instead of mobile versions. Info here.
• If you have issues with Gmail/IMAP and sending emails, Official fix here, or read this post
• Make Pocket IE your default browser. How to here.
• Skyfire now “works” on Touch Pro. It is not a real VGA version, just QVGA stretched up, so however crappy it may look it is the best flash solution for now.
• New Opera Mobile from Touch HD here – May or may not perform better, some reports of issues/graphical glitches/etc.
• Increase the maximum number of tabs in Opera – Close Opera and edit \Windows\Opera9\opera.ini and change the Max Allowed Tabs to the right number. thanks mclaser

• Increase TouchFlo’s sensitivity, so you don’t have to push as hard to scroll. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings] increase FingerPressure. Default is 16. I am having good luck on 128, I may raise it higher. Higher = more sensitive, lower = less sensitive.
• Touch Pro Cleanup by GoodThings2Life – read this/download one of the cabs to automatically apply a specific set of tweaks/mods.
• Action screen changes, customizable through registry edits. More here
• Change the soft keys on the home screen. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila], change HomeLSKPath and HomeRSKPath. HomeLSKText/HomeRSKText = the text. More info here.
