Verizon Wireless XV-6700 most necessary registry edits
Just thought I would post this, sorry if this is already in the forums, but when I looked around yesterday I didn't find this stuff, so I searched the net and found some of this info. I just got the XV-6700 and I like the phone a lot. After these registry edits the phone is much better then the Treo 650.
First for these registry edits you will need to download a Registry Editor to help you do it, a good one to use is PHM Registry Editor.
1. Speed Up Your Windows Mobile Pocket PC:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMGDIGLYPHCACHE
Change the value of 'limit' from 8192 to 32768

Thanks for posting this. Really great stuff. It would be cool if people could add any other reg edits as they find them.

3. How to Disable SMS delivery receipt text message on Verizon 6700 (the extra text message that you receive to let you know you've sent a successful text message):
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREOEMSMS
Change "Delivery Ack" from 1 to
Close registry editor and soft reset.
I had the one for the bubble...but this one was almost a deal breaker as I approach 14 days! Thank you very much! Works perfect!
...
thanks for the great edits! i got all of them to work except the wifi with the phone... my MutexFlag always resets itself. Any help? Thanks in advance
...
Hmm, not sure, all I did was change it and then do a soft reset. Maybe just try to do it again and see what happens. I am really impressed by all I can do on this little device with these registry edits.
...
looks like I spoke too soon. when I got up this morning it was working. I guess that last soft reset must have done the trick. thanks again! with all those edits this phone goes far beyond the treo!
...
please help. i downloaded the phm reg, now what do i do? i cant find how to go from here? thanks.
...
You need to install the phm reg program onto you phone, then open it, proceed to the listed registry keys, perform the changes, and then soft reset your device.
...
can a hard reset bring back the phone to original condition? even if you did some hacks?
...
Just downloaded the resco explorer 2005 as a free sample and I got everything to work. That SUCCESS message was just about to drive me crazy! I then removed resco and saved the settings and everything still works. Thanks for the great post and keep more coming.
...
Any ideas? When you go through setup (activesync step), it will not recognize this software, the set up program will only ask if you want to remove existing programs.
...
If you downloaded the cab file you can just copy it directly to your device, then once it is on the device open it and it will install the program.
...
I have the same problem as the guy before. I am a little confused when you say the "cab" file. I've installed on My computer. I actually dragged all the files and put them in folder on to my 6700. If I click on the Setup it says "is not a valid pocket pc application". I have about 11 icons that that are cab files. I saved them on the memory card and tried to run them and is says it was installed unsuccessful. If im saving them in wrong spot where do i save them on the phone. Do i make a folder or sub folder? Sorry to ask probably basic questions but i got to remove these "delivery" text messages....their killing me!!!
...
Odd. Maybe try downloading the .cab file directly with IE on your 6700. It doesn't matter where the file is located on your device, although somewhere on the storage card or under My Documents is recommended just for sake of neatness and sanity...
You might be downloading a corrupted version of the application. Perhaps you should try another download site? I got my copy from freewareppc.com and it worked fine.

I need to decide before 2/10/06 whether I am going to keep this XV6700. There are two things in particular that I do not like about the XV6700.
1. The ease of making a phone call. Is there a Voice Recognition software that will work with a Bluetooth Headset? What software and headset combinations work best? I am very disappointed the Voice Dialing was not built in this XV6700.
2. The Speakerphone is what it is. It could be better.
3. Customer Service and Tech Support always tell you to stay away from "Reg Edits". My question is as follows:
What site gives you the PHM Reg Edit for download? What is the most current version? Every site I find it takes me to a link that does not work.

The MS Voice Commmand software works with a bluetooth headset very well. Unfortunately, the multifuction button on the bluetooth headset does not activate voice command, so you have to push a button on the phone, speak the command into the phone and once connectted, the bluetooth headset works. Yeah, I know, real cheesey and really stupid that they would overlook this.
Yep, speakerphone is about as next to useless as it gets.
For whatever reason, I could not get the freeware PHM editor to install. I downloaded a trial version of another editor from Handango, used it to make the edits mentioned here. No problems.

I agree about MS Voice Command. If we need to push a button on the phone, this defeats the "hands-free" option of making a phone call.
Also, what I meant about WI-FI and phone is that you can use one or the other with the XV6700. Either use WI-FI or use the phone. You cannot use both together as you can on Sprint's PPC6700.

1. Download a registry editor
2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESevicesWirelessMgr
3. Find a key called "MutexFlag"
4. Change it value from 1 to
This will enable 1x and wifi at the same time. Couldn't imagine the phone without doing it!

Do you know of a Voice Command software that will work with a Bluetooth headset for the XV6700?
Also, when you say change "MutexFlag" from "1" to ___?? Delete the 1??

...
Yeah I'm sorry I didn't catch that. Change the mutex flag from 1 to 0. And no I haven't been able to afford either voice command or a bluetooth headset till next Friday.
...
I may be in error, but I don't believe the shortcoming is in the voice recognition software but is in the firmware of the phone itself.
...
Lgrulz, can you help me set up my phone? What do I need to download to open the Registry in my XV6700? Once there, I could probably handle it, but you help is appreciated.
...
I did not see the start of this thread, downloaded the editor and set the WiFi to be on also. Thank you!!!!
...
🙂 🤠I have attempted to perform the edit to stop the sent text message bubble, and it is not working can you give me some possible reasons why the edits is not working.
...
Did you soft reset your phone after doing the registry edits?
Also, try doing 1 edit at a time. Do the edit. Make sure that you exit the registry editor before soft resetting the phone. Do the soft reset and make sure the edit works. Then proceed to the next edit.

A little new at this- where do you make these edits? Any help would be great!!! Thanks in advance

has anyone found the hack where its "suppose to make your phone run faster actually noticed a difference?
...
I actually think my phone runs a little bit faster after that hack. I was not anxious at first to try the hack....but since the others ones were so good, i gave it.....I really think its a little bit faster....now im just wating for more....Anyone know if can make the keypad brighter? or the sound on volume louder for when on calls?
...
How do you install the PHM software to the xv-6700? I installed it on my pc, and active sync is installed on my, but when I go to add/remove programs it says there is nothing to add?
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
...
It is much easier to just download it on the phone itself. Access the web page through your phones browser and it will be installed directly to your phone. Very simple. Download it to your sd card if you have one.
...
It won't let me download or load the registory program. I get an error. Can someone explain to me how exactly i do this registry editor stuff. I can't get it to download to the phone. THanks
...
Not trying to be mean, but if you can't even install a registry editor, or adequately explain "an error" to others, you probably shouldn't be hacking your registry. It's an inherently dangerous thing to do. For those who know how, and understand the risks, no big deal. But it's not an exercise for those who need handholding through every step. There's a reason it's called "hacking."

CWilkins: Isn't that what this board is for? To ask questions if you don't know how to do something... I'm having the same problems getting the software onto my phone. If someone would kindly walk me through the baby steps, I would be much appreciative.
...
You're at least partly right. Sorry, I should've tried to be more helpful.
At the same time, you'll get more help if you ask properly. I don't mean begging on your knees, but just presenting as much info as you can about where you are stuck and what you have tried. For instance "I tried to install the program and got an error" is about useless. No one can give you specific help with that. (Well, maybe Ms. Cleo!) You need to be specific about what steps you took to install and what error message(s) you got -- word for word if possible.
Just as a basic rule, the more care you put into asking for help properly, the more likely you'll get it, and the more likely the help will be useful to you. And human nature dictates that the well...

The problem is even the MSI versions are NOT installing.
This is a problem for a great many people. Many of whom have been tweaking their registry since the early nineties.

Got another one for you! Anyone else hit the annoying "must reconnect to the data network every friggin time you do anything, even if it's five seconds after the last time" problem? I found a registry hack for the XV6700 to fix this. ...At least early results are promising. Since setting this key and resetting the phone, I've seen no more annoying "connecting..." balloons. It appears I'm nailed up now! 😎
Go to: HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Providers/7c4b7a38-5ff7-4bc 1-80f65da7870bb1aa/Connections/Data Network Connect/AlwaysOn
Apparently AlwaysOn is 0 by default. Change it to 1 and soft reset the phone. And please let me know if this hack works for you too.

cwilkins --
I'm interested in that edit. My question is: How do you ever turn the data connection back off? I like to be able to make and receive phone calls every now and then. 🙂
Do phone calls ring through the data session, disconnecting it till you next initiate one?

...
I will add that the biggest reason this interests me is Instant Messenger, which is apparently unable to hold the data session open. If I don't switch over ti PIE every few minutes and click a link, the data session will terminate, as will my AIM session.
...
From playing with the new AlwaysOn=1 setting for a few hours, I've found two things will clobber your data session:
1. Inbound or outbound phone calls will interrupt an EVDO session. (Old news, but included here for sake of completeness.)
2. Docking the phone to your PC. (Tested USB sync. Not sure about Bluetooth sync.)
Since I set AlwaysOn=1, only docking the phone has caused the "Connecting..." balloon to pop up after I undock and attempt to reach the Internet. Otherwise, no more "Connecting..." balloon!
Now, what this will do for your IM sessions I don't know. Maybe you can forge ahead into the unknown and then report back? 🙂

I'm pleased so far, but haven't done much experimenting. AIM has stayed connected for the past 16 minutes, though, which will make morning train rides more enjoyable.
Now to see how this affects battery life...

Further experimenting:
The data session seems to merely "pause" during a telephone call. For example, if I am on the phone, I won't get any IMs. However, as soon as I hang up the phone, the IMs come through. No "reconnecting" or anything.
It stayed on all night. That was the one last feature I envied blackberries for: their always on connection.
I wonder how Verizon is going to like this. I figure, I am paying for unlimited data. So they can't complain.

The way I see it, I'm just making my 6700 behave like the 6600 did. (The XV6600 didn't constantly reconnect.) And no joy from talking to customer support, so I found my own solution.
Honestly, I'm a little shocked it was so easy!
My suspicion is that this setting was just an oversight on Verizon's part and that had they been paying attention, they would've set AlwaysOn=1. (Then again, this is the same company that adopted PPPoE for DSL connectivity...) There's a similar thread going on about the Treo 700w and there's apparently a pending ROM upgrade to fix it. Are we in store for the same?
Anyway, I don't think EVDO uses significant network resources unless you're actively moving data. If I'm wrong, maybe one of our EVDO exper...

Have spent a good 8 hours off-cradle today, and even though I've gotten battery warnings, it's still kicking along. I figure as long as I plug it in whenever I'm at my desk or in my car, I should have no trouble with battery life.
Though I did have bluetooth off all day today. So I'll have to experiment with that, tomorrow.
Thanks again for this regedit. It's great.

Whoa! I've done all these regedits and the bt dun one and I know a good bit about this device. However, the AIM I used on my hp2215 from aim.co.uk does not work on this phone. It won't connect. Where did you guys get your AIM client that works on this?

To keep the keyboard backlight on longer than the default (10sec I think)...
Change the (decimal!) DWORD value in this key:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout to something like 30.
(or if you want it on for 30 seconds, that's hex value 1E, or 20 secs would be hex 14)
Not sure what the longest valid setting is.
If you *really* want a lot of good info about this phone, go check out ppcgeeks.com and the "HTC Apache" forum.
