Smartphone, GPS & PDA Reviews and Articles

You just bought your phone and aren’t satified with the “out of the box” performance? Look no further because we gathered here the best HTC Touch Pro tricks and tweaks to boost up your phone. First of all, you’ll need a regestry editing tool. A free software for this can be downloaded from one of the below links:

• http://sharemobile.ro/share/81/regedit.cab;

• http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?%7b940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3%7d;

After installing the application we can start changing the regestry keys to improve performance.

Boost TFL3D Performance =>> HKLM\System\Storagemanager\Fatfs you have to change the key Cachesize from 16384 to 32768 and also in HKLM\SYSTEM\GDI\GLYPHCACHE\limit you have to enter 16384 or 32768 (DWORD decimal) instead of 8192 (the default value)

Wake Up on New SMS =>> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent key usually has the 1 value.
Changing this value to 0 will turn the screen on if you want.

Enable GPS photo =>> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P10 you have to change the enabled key value from 0 to 1

Now this is one of the HTC Touch Pro Tricks I use the most:
Adjust screen sensitivity =>> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal

Multiple Camera Modes =>> burst can be enabled in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P6 . The enabled value must be changed from 0 to 1 ,just Keep the button pressed down to take more pictures while sport can be done in the same way ,  but in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P8 ( 5 pictures in quick succesion )

Enable video share by applying the following registry modification to your HTC Touch Pro=>>
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\Camera\P9 ; change the value enabled from 0 to 1

Enable/disable HSUPA =>> HKLM\Software\HTC\AdvancedNetwork\SupportHSUPA 1 for enable ,0 for disable

Remove or reduce Vertical and Horizontal Scrollbars on your HTC Touch Pro with the following trick:
For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:
HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = closer to 0, the bar is smaller. 0 = totally removed (DWORD decimal) For the vertical (right) scrollbar: HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = closer to 0, the bar is smaller. 0 = totally removed (DWORD decimal)

Here’s a cool Opera trick for your HTC Touch Pro=>> Download this opera.ini (http://jiehong.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/opera.zip) , If you have connection problems when you have both MSN and Opera running together and copy it to \Windows\Opera9\

Remove Operator Startup and Shutdown logo =>> under HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAnimation, remove key value of StartupGif, StartupWav, ShutdownGif and ShutdownWav

Disabe AutoKill =>> if the applications are closing by themselves, you can disable AutoKill under HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager, EnableAutoKill key value must be changed to 0

Also there are software applications that can help you applying this HTC Touch Pro trick. A free one is  Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 ( downloadable from this link ) . Advanced Configuration Tool allows you to easily modify more than 200 settings for Windows Mobile system and applications.
