Good Morning all
firstly a big thankyou to everyone who contributes here, I couldnt couldnt count the number of times Ive found little fixes for those annoying "features" that HTC devices seem to have.
Anyway, one such problem I seem to be having is battery drain due to my WLAN refusing to switch off. The function is switched off in connection manager but is very much switched on as every time I pass an access point I get an annoying bubble asking me if I would like to connect.
I tracked the problem down to something changing the "DisablePowerManagement" registry key. When I changed the value back to 0 the WLAN was switched off after a reset, however within 3-4 hours it changed again which leads me to believe it is caused by software I have installed at some point.
I wondered if anyone could advise on similar issues and resolution and also, is there a way to disable the popup bubble when a new Access Point is found as it causes me a nightmare with TomTom.
