My phone i.e. HTC Diamond2 Dual SIM Mobile phone with Windows 6.5 and the SPB Shell, keep automatically switching between menus. As a result I can get nothing done as this is very frustrating.

I believe that a registry tweak will fix this problem. However, I do not know what registry parameter controls this.

I would appreciate any assistance that you can provide.

On another note, I tried the first registry editor and each time I try to change a parameter it comes up with “Access Denied”.

Is there some way around this?

Thank you in anticipation that you will respond.

Regards,
JG Kase

Is there a way to hack the registry so that message balloons such as “Connecting to: Media Net; GPRS,3G”, and “Error, cannot connect to wap.cingular” don’t pop up. Of course, my text is specific to AT&T but hopefully you understand the messages I’m talking about. I’m usually in a weak signal area and these messages constantly interfere with me using other features of the phone.

Would recommend spending a couple bucks on SK Tools. Every time you change the registry on your phone it automatically backs up the settings as they were before the mods. Plus it has some other excellent features besides the Reg editor.

As per a previous post, there is incorrect info on one regedit here. Please update it, Inspector! As always be extra careful with editing the registry.

The registry tweak for startup items on windows 6.1 is incorrect. The folder located at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Start Items is actually the links that appear in the start menu.

Hi Josh, you should be able to do this through the wifi connection settings of the phone. The phone should turn on still and let you use Windows mobile. The only thing that wont connect is your phone connection. If the wifi settings are correct, they should have no impact on the phone connection.

I haven’t found anything about changing the emergency number through the registry, but it makes sense to me that it would be in there somewhere. You could search your registry for various emergency numbers and see if anything comes out.
Is it possible that it is associated with the devices locale, so changing the location settings on your device may also change the number?
I think that you can call emergency for free without the sim installed. I am not game to try it though. This is from an australian travel website.

000 calls are free on all mobile phones. From analogue phones, 000 will connect callers, although many newer digital phones require the user to dial 112, the international standard emergency number. Consult your carrier if you are uncertain how to access the 000 emergency network.

Hope it helps
