Plain font in top menu

xdaII (Qtek 2020 1.72 actually)
I am not entirely certain that this issue is tied to the (official) rom upgrade but it has only started to occur recently.
I have implemented the registry hack which displays both time and date in the top header (rather than only the time).
Lately, the top header is displayed in thin text after a soft reset, for some seconds, and then the text turns bold. As a consequence of this, the displayed text is displaced to the right and the time and date disappears off the screen.
Is there any way of keeping the text from going bold?

Have you recently run a utility that would change any font settings at all? A program like Tweak2k, WinCETuner, or even Nyditot Virtual Display with it's appearance settings could have affected your display in this manner.
Also, if you had recently installed a new theme (TSK file), this may also change your font settings.

I have used none of the listed applications and only the MS WindowsMobileOrange tsk which is what I was using before the upgrade. Reverting to the standard does not help.
I would be happy if there were a registry setting which would force the top bar to remain non-bold just the way it is directly after a soft reset

Hi LarsN,
I got round this by altering the format of the time in the registry (adding a spaces to the time format, from "HH:mm" to " HH:mm "). The result was that the width used on the taskbar by time/ date was broadened resulting in the missing date info not being cut off. Incidentally I placed spaces before and after the time simply so that the time would be being centered underneather the date.
reg: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides\
String Value name: STFmt
Data: " HH:mm "
The final tweak I made was to reformat the short date to give the short "day of the week" (ddd) and date of the week (dd) as I always know what month we are in and certainly the year (but that's only my personal preference).
String Value name: SSDte
Data: "ddd dd"
Be advised that this tweak has knock on effects e.g. Clock & Alarms (usually on Today Screen) follows the formating when tapped, similarly File Explorer. For me I can live with such things but if ayone else knows the reg setting needed to only effect the taskabr time/date that would be better (I noticed that although my setting was originally HH:mm:ss only HH:mm was being displayed not the ss part so there must be another tweak out there).

NB for those less familiar with tweaking the quote marks are only there for reference in the Data field and are not to be actually included.

I'n getting exactly the same problem, but mine seems to happen after the "G" for GPRS flashes up - interestingly it then disappears, but my this time it has moved the date and time to the right (lets forget about the font for the moment) so there is just not enough room for it to display date/time.
Has anyone had this problem with O2's "G" vanishing?
How do you cure it?
If I could work out how to copy the file for the o2 battery plugin - I thought about doing a corporate o2 install, then copying the o2 plugin back. I think this may work, because I think the problem is still related to the o2 crap they put on the machine
any help appreciated

I did a hard reset & cured the problem
Maybe it was font after all
MYTODAYSCREEN.exe
or
Journal Bar - Weather, News & more! 3.4.3 JrnlOD343.EXE
which I had uninstalle4d - but it obviously left something lieing around

No LEDs after restore...

Hi,
since i restored a backup using active sync,
the LEDs of my BA won´t do anything.
I had this a long time ago and the only thing
which worked was a hardreset and reinstall
everything.
Does anybody has an idea to fix the LED problem
without doing a hardreset ?

it's registry settings may have been altered... the following would give you an idea on how to enable/disable them (only for the BA).

It's possible to disable the right and left LEDs in a HTC Blue Angel changing these registry keys using PHM Registry Editor:
Righ LED:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE//Drivers//Builtin//NLEDMGR the value Index has to be changed from 1 to 0
Left LED:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE//Drivers//Builtin//BWLEDMgr the value Index has to be changed from 2 to 0

Thanks !! it worked... :-D
Left LED:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE//Drivers//Builtin//BWLEDMgr the value Index has to be changed from 2 to 0
This registry setting was at 1 instead of 2... now after a softreset
both LEDs are working again !!

great!!! it work for my MDA3. Thanks so much.

Registry problem ?

Hi, i'm trying different registry tweaks on my Artemis and i was wondering why some changes can't be stored and other can ?
For example to disable USB charging i've set the key value to 0, soft reset and value comes back at 1 ! Is it normal ?
I've the same problem when i want to changhe audio gain for example...
Thanks for you help, Laurent.

It has happened to me once. I noticed when you set the value to 0 you will need to close the registry editor first. When you do that it will ask you if you want to save the changes and of course you say yes. Then you soft restart.
What have you changed for the audio value increase?

OK i found the reason why : i had no sim inserted... Inserted one and it works now ! So i'll try other tweaks and particulary i'll try to get the Media Player louder...
Laurent.

Hi,
the Trick with the Registry:
1) Change your Registry with an Registry Editor.
2) Switch your Windows Mobile Devive off.
3) wait 30 Seconds.
4) Switch your Device on.
5) Now! You can make the needed Softreset.......

Default WM dialer restored - menu oddity

I've edited the registry key to disable the HTC dialer and restore the WM dialer - the combination of that and turning off TF3d restores about a third of the program memory. Initially I couldn't get the contacts / call log lookup to work, but I discovered that if you rename the "SmartDial" key in the registry (in the same area as the Skin Enabled / Disabled selector), the default behaviour is restored.
The only oddity is that accessing the call log and speed dials is strange. The call log and speed dial buttons on the keypad work fine. If you have the keypad displayed, menu items for "Call History" and "Speed Dial" appear in the SK2 menu, but do nothing when tapped. If you hide the keypad, the menu items appear as "(A)" and "(B)" rather than "Call History" and "Speed Dial", and still don't work.
Has anyone got any clues as to what I need to hack to get these menu items working properly? There is a chunk of registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Phone that looks promising, but I can't seem to get anything that works.

Ah - fixed it. It seems that the three menu items for Call History, Speed Dial and Save To Notes are HTC additions to the menu, rather than features of the default WM dialler. You can turn them off by setting AddPhoneMenu to 0 under HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone.

Touch input - Where did my spacebar go?

I have the TP2 with stock Sprint ROM.
I have changed the KBD settings to use LogMeIn with this reg edit:
[HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409]
(MS IME mode)
Ime File = \windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Not sure if this is causing my problem, however my touch screen input keyboard is only showing the default that Opera uses, with the ".com" button instead of spacebar. How can I get my spacebar back?
Sometimes it sticks on number input also after clicking on a number field like the time.
Anybody?

Found it.
Kept searching and found it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566361&highlight=keyboard+fix
Changed HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime.change CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0
This works temporarily, but when I click on the time in a calendar entry, it switches to numbers, and does not switch back unless I re edit the registry. Is there any way to keep the setting from changing at all? I want it to stay at CurrentET9Style = 0.
Anybody?

OK. Ignore this thread unless you have this problem!
Here is a fix I found at PPCGeeks:

Thanks to

Then you have to use KforTouchPro to enable the keyboard with LogMeIn. (And then the reverse to get back to properly working soft keyboard)
