Missed call notification on today?

Is this possible?

If you mean a today plugin, then I am sure you could find something on PocketGear, for example.
However, there already is a status icon displayed on the bar at the top of the today screen which will show a telephone handse, plus exclamation mark if you have any missed calls. Clicking on the icon displays a message bubble from which you can view missed calls.
I hope this helps.

Yes, I meant a today plugin.
I was fiddling with Novosec Facelift.
Since it can't display notification icons when you skin the start bar... i thought a plugin would help....
After testing, I realise it is a good app (Facelift), since it makes everything look much better (menus, skin your bars to have a fullscreen today screen...etc), but isn't yet wm2003 compatible.
Wisbar helps but it just isnt the same...
Pity.
Thanks for the tip anyway.
This should be the official htc forum (huuuge lol)
Great forum!

try phonedashboard, it has many display on today screen.

http://www.jgui.net/todays/
have two solutions for you

My favorite is sunnysoft.
Just a small plugin (2 lines) with missed calls AND sms. Phone today seemed nice too.
Jgui isn't bad too....now it comes in 2 flavours. MY|Phone (with no sms support).
and MY|Phone Calls SE, with support but slow in getting signal when reseting, and the cell power meter is cool but I dont need it.
PhoneToday is quite good too, but couldn't get hold of a recent version to try... full version anyway....
Thanks for all the help.

Is there a fix for HTC home Weather plugin with T-mobile tzones internet?

Did anyone manage to get this weather plugin to work with Tmobile tzones ($5.99) internet? I tried to search for this issue but couldn't find a clear answer.
I works fine via ActiveSync or Wireless internet - but no go for t-zones proxied connection.

If I understood correctly, you would like to load the weather data over T-mobile. Correctly?
If, functions perfectly. Only select city and completely.
Or did you want another program, in place of the HTC weather Plugin?
Describe nevertheless please times which as much money costs there.
I am not safe me whether I you correctly understood.

I think you need to learn the English language a little better, before you try to help others... hehe I have no idea what you're talking about!

There's a fix for it. Someone created a server for the HTC plugin to get its data from and it works through TMobile (tzones or not). Read the HTC Home plugin threads around here and I'm sure you'll find a cab...

I tried the patched version on t-mobileweb and still couldn't get it to work..

I use spb mobile shell. It works.

As far as I know - SPB uses it's own weather plugin. I'd like to use HTC home weather.

Yes, that what's happening to me. There is a thread for HTC Home weather fix, but it looks like the author is rarely responding to peoples questions. Yes, he created a modified cab file that uses one of his servers to re-route the data, but somehow it's not working. I believe it's because of t-mobile tzone internet is using proxied access. On the regular internet access (thru WIfI or wireless lan or activesync) the plugin works great.
Is there a lucky person who managed to get this plugin to work on T-mobile USA tzones internet?

juzzie: the 6tab cab worked for me on this t-mobile plan:$29.99/month, Unlimited w/o VPN, internet2.voicestream.com. And U'r right, it looks like the owner of that thread has left the building!

Yep, I know. It's working on T-mobile data plans. But I'm using tzones which is a proxied connection.
To tell you honestly - I gave up. I tried Fizz weather and it works like a charm. It offers far better weather related services and takes only a thin bar on the home screen. You just have to configure it properly: I'm using 2 days forecast including current weather.

Been Trying!
I been trying for a long time now everyday to find the answer to Tmobile USA not being able to use the htc plugin weather program. I myself have full access internet 29.99. sometime it will load it, some times it wont. Maybe its where your at? check the tmobile site www.tmobile.com to see how is your signal. If everyone can come up with a test simple it would be faster to figure it out. Developers neeed help and imput. good luck

yeah, the modified cabs of the HTC weather plugin will only work on a non-proxied connection. I'm having the same trouble, and have tried everything out there.
N2A (creator of the modified HTC weather server) goes thru port 80 which is blocked on $5.99 T-zones, so thats where we suffer.
As far as SPB mobile shell goes, does it integrate with HTC Home tabs? or is it something on its own? any screen captures available?

Well maybe you can ask the guy nicely to make another dll for you that will connect to his server using a different port !

lol, I guess I could do that.

I would also recommend WeatherPanel with the "son of commuter 240" theme. It's just an awesome combination...

Maybe, just maybe this could help
Hi, I recently changed a HTC Touch (T-mobile GER) around completely to get rid of the (for me) unwanted carrier specifics of the original Rom. I Backuped the Ext Rom in which I came across the attached cab (I frankly don't have any idea what it does - all other contents were merely hompage setting or spftkey changer app...)
Since Tmob found it useful to play with the weather, maybe someone could see what's inside. Maybe it could solve the problem.
Cheers, Chris

official htc 3.54 ger rom problems

hy all. after using this rom for a month now i ran into several probs.
1) when i lock my tytn, and someone calls me, i cant answer the call, then i cant unlock the phone because the unlock in the lower left corner is replaced by the lost call notification. the first half of the month i have this problem not very often, but now i have it on every call. so i loose every call, the SR, then unlock, then call back. (really cool this problem)
2) bluetooth worked fine, but now i cant enable it without doing a SR before enabling it.
3) omg, it is so slow after a month of use! i SR nearly every day, i delete temps with cleartemp, but its so slow now. for example, when i write a new message, and then switch to landscape, i think i have to wait about 20-30 secs, before its rendered. and the same after sending sms and switching back to portrait home screen.
4) sometimes it looks like everything is ok, but when i try to tab something a realise, that my tytn is completly dead. (i have bought a second mobile phone and use it, when the tytn is dead. and what i want to say o this bug: nice piece of software ms! i feel like an alpha tester for ms! but i had to pay for it. )
all these bugs appeared after a few weeks!
installed software:
pocketrar (newest)
htc task manager 1.51
htc music plugin 1.0
adobe reader 2
cleartemp (newest)
emil andersson pocket sudoku
i hope some ms devs read this thread, think about it and learn something for the future.

Why not giving one of mine a try (look in my signature)??

I am running the same T-Mobile Germany ROM and have no such issues! It looks to me like your device is running out of memory! How much memory is still available on your device? Where did you install your apps - phone or card?
Try to run your device without the TASK MANAGER for a while, maybe that is what is eating your memory ...

New TP2 user - several queries

Hi, first post here. I finally replaced my 6 year old iPAQ 2210/2215 with an HTC Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. I'd appreciate advice on a few points please. Hope it's OK to raise multiple topics like this? I also posted to HTC forum yesterday but so far no replies.
1. I make/receive relatively few mobile phone calls so I prefer to use the TP2 in a rather similar mode to previously. IOW, more as a Pocket PC than a phone. Am I right that the Today screen cannot co-exist simultaneously with TouchFlo3D - it's one or the other?
2. Assuming that's the case, is there some way I can quickly restore the TouchFlo UI when I do need it? Or must I go through Settings > Today > Items and re-check that box (losing all my other checkmarks)?
3. I can get to most of the TouchFlo features anyway from the Today screen. But one at least has defeated me: that nice Weather program, which I like a lot. Any suggestions on how to build a shortcut to it please, even if not with the fancy animation?
4. I'm concerned to maximise battery life. I can turn off WiFi and Blutetooth. Is it possible to turn off GPS when I'm not using it?
5. I've so far not found a built-in backup tool (like iPAQ Backup). Is there one, or must I use a 3rd party tool like Sprite Backup?
6. Is there an executable somewhere on my TP2 that will rotate the screen please? When I add Pocket Plus to my Today screen, that has such a toggle tool under one of its tabs. But, despite having only just paid for Pocket Plus (which I've happily used for years on the 2210/15), I don't think I'm going to get on with this latest version, so I need an alternative rotate tool.
Sorry for what's turned out to be a rather long first post!

1. Completely right, but you can use SecondToday (freeware) as a shortcut to the "old" today screen.
2. See 1
3. Stay with the Today screen in combination with secondtoday
4. No, you cannot turn off the GPS, but what helps a lot is to put the band of the telephone fixed to GPRS, not UMTS/3G/HSDPA. That saves your battery a lot.
5. No there isn't, you must look for Sprite, SPB or sunnysoft backup.
6. Try Flip-it, it works automatically with your Gsensor. Otherwise look for Gyrator or ChangeScreen
Hopes it gets you going

Re backup software. dotfred.net's pimbackup is a handy tool to transfer personal info and can be scheduled.

I am using Second Today.. works great!! love it!! Just like you, can't live without the WM today screen.

Thanks all, appreciate the replies so far. Will try SecondToday. I'm still experimenting with Today plug-ins such as Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze.
I have another query but will post separately about it as it's an application problem.

Just to add.
GPS is turned off all the time unless an application is polling it.
So unless you leave the GPS test,GPSToday, Google Maps, Tomtom, iGo or whatever running, it will be off.

Thanks labbbby, that's good to learn. My main app is Memory-Map, which I use for planning walks (hikes) and recording them etc. On a 6 mile walk the other day I was a bit disappointed to find that my battery was down to about 50%. So extrapolating to a full day's trek (say 12-15 miles) it would be on the limit. Reckon I'll have to invest in a spare.

Try a search on SecondToday for other download sites, maybe you where unfortunate to get a faulty install file...

Hi,
- I would advice you to use TouchFloDetacher, works better than mToday or SecondToday AND it has an easy softkey changer so you can switch easily between TF and Today
- My favorite weatherplugin: WeatherBugDirect_PPC_VGA. Works great but maybe not fancy enough (?)
- Rotators enough: there is a cab somewhere on this forum that does it by changing some reg setting: is better because all the others (i think) are separate programs that need to be running in the background using up mem!
hope this helps a bit ... (still a TP2 beginner myself)

I feel I must correct others:
4.- yes, GPS is switched automatically off when no program listens to the virtual COM port that they see (the driver monitors it), and started when a program connects to it.
It is also switched off in suspend mode, if you would like to log track with PPC "off" - see my program at www.madhacker.org that changes the way the driver behaves.

Ron: Turned out to be down to my stupidity. I tried to execute SecondToday.CAB from my PC! Installed OK of course when done properly from Resco File Explorer on the TP2.
But can you help me get it working please? I first ran the CAB while in TouchFlo mode. Should I then see any evidence of it on the main screen (purple, with large digital clock)? I didn't see anything obvious so went to All Programs. There I found 3 relevant entries:
SToday Quit
SToday Settings
Second Today
I clicked the last and got an empty Today screen, with the left softkey 'Calendar' and no softkey on the right. I clicked that blank area anyway, as I couldn't find anything else, but that gave the error message "This file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found..."
That mention of a trusted certificate is puzzling. When installing from the PC desktop I've been getting an alert about that and clicking Yes to proceed. But when installing from this SecondToday.CAB that didn't happen.

Thanks Curehead. Not sure if you've seen my reply to Ron about SecondToday, but I'm having the same frustration with TouchFloDetacher! I'm sure it will turn out to be down to some basic mistake on my part.
I ran TFDetacher.CAB in Resco File Explorer while TouchFlo was on. Then, as I couldn't see any more direct way, in All Programs I found 'Hide TouchFlo' and clicked it. That gave me the error message "Unable to find TouchFlo Detacher Service". I also tried re-installing when in Today mode, but got into a similar mess there too.

AlCapone: Many thanks, I've duly installed GPSTweaker.exe which sounds exactly what I need!
If I've understood correctly this means that while using Memory-Map to record my walks I will be able to switch off (suspend) my TP2 to minimise use of the battery, yes? But I'm not clear how Mem-Map will still be tracking while the TP2 is suspended? Unless it does, there's not much point keeping GPS running?

Ron,
I started with Gyrator but I'm totally baffled as to how to set it up. I read earlier in an article about it something to the effect that "Install the MS.NET stuff and the CAB and it just works." Not here it doesn't.
After reset I got a sort of setup screen I didn't really follow so I opened the 'Events' window only to get a complex settings window that meant nothing to me. I'm not normally this dense! Is it meant to be understandable by mere end users rather than programmers/developers?
Is there a reasonably simple step-by-step on how to set it up you can point me to please?
I was hoping for a program that would simply install itself and then either automatically rotate every screen or let me do so at the tap of a command.
I'll try Flip-It now.
Edit:
Gave up on Gyrator and didn't try Flip It following further study. But instead I'm pleased to report that late last night I eventually got ChangeScreen working. The only one I found comprehensible!
BTW, its default was set not to rotate TouchFlo screens, so I had to change that. Why would that not be generally regarded as desirable please?

New to the Touch Pro2

Hello,
I just got my TP2 in the mail, and already lovin' it.
But ive got a few questions.
Are there any updates that are a "MUST HAVE" on this phone?
Rom is 1.88.404.3 (67102) NLD
WM 6.5 5.2.21854
Already got the NoData installed.
Wich Nav program can is use, that is free? I hate TomTom, rather have NavnGo or sumthing.
And i want to watch videos on Vimeo, but can't due to a flashplayer bug?
Tnx!

HD Tweak also has the option to shutoff the data connection (keeps WiFi on) similar to NoData. But also has a ton of other tweaking options. I tried it on a recent foreign trip (to shutoff the data), and it works great. It works perfectly for me so far, despite being intended for Touch HD.

Google Maps and MS Bing work great for navigation, and are free. But they only work when you have a data connection (maps are streamed, not stored). I personally don't use a nav program with stored maps, so I don't have an opinion on that. But there are plenty of discussions on nav programs on this forum, if you use the search function.
The following threads are great places to start for software and tweaks:

You need to put on HDTweak, HTCManiacs Clean Ram, and I personally love Dynamic+'s NoDatainRoaming. It turns off data when you hit roaming situation and turns it back on automatically when you get back in your local area. These are all free here on XDA.
