I couldn't find anything on this, maybe I wasn't searching correctly. If I missed the fix somewhere, i apologize in advance.
I'm running the HTC WM 6.5 rom with a few reg tweaks and every night since Nov. 2, 2009 [DST], the clock on the lockscreen gets stuck at 00:00 and won't advance to 00:01. It won't even change until I restart my phone. This is the T-Mobile USA TP2, if that would make any difference. I'm not sure I've messed with any of the reg files that have to do with the clock, so I'm not sure why this is happening.
I also tried downloading the fix ".cab" from Micro$haft and for some reason, I couldn't send it through bluetooth from my PowerBook G4 and my TP2. So then I tried downloading it in the mobile IE browser. No go. It downloaded it as a .tsk file, which, aas you may or may not know, is a WM theme file.
Any help would be greatly appreciated to fix this strange quirk.
connect the phone to the computer and select 'storage card' as access type on the menu that pops up on the phone then just copy & paste it over there (if your pbook supports copy & paste...sry just had to throw it in after ur microshaft comment ).
As for the clock, are you running a custom rom at all? If not, then do it, if so, then revert from it lol. I have no idea on that but I don't have that problem at all. Maybe try turning off touchflow and then turning it back on once the problem has occurred (go to settings -> all settings -> today -> items -> uncheck touchflow or sense, depending on rom, hit ok and exit, then repeat the steps to turn it back on.

I'm running the HTC WM 6.5 rom with my own registry edits in it. I haven't noticed it the clock doing this lately but I have been getting my sms messages and it says that they're actually received at the same time from two days ago. I'm really not understanding why it's doing this. This phone has done random funny things since I've started using it.

Hi all,
Just received my XDAIIs. Overall impression so far is good. One thing I can't stand though is the O2 Active software. I have never liked it. It was easy to disable this on my XDAII - I just moved the application from the Windows folder into a temp folder and did a soft reset. However on the IIs there is no O2 Active icon in the Windows folder so I'm unsure how I can disable. Any ideas?
Cheers

a good place to look for autostarted programs is \windows\autostart
I don't seem to have a \Windows\Autostart folder but I do have a \Windows\StartUp folder. Is that what you meant? The contents of that folder are:
aPerSaveStar
Camera_Dete...
CheckAutoRun
ChgDfLnk
Connections
cPerSaveStar
nPerSaveStar
poutlook
RegNotify
Run_BTTrayC...
STK
tPerSaveStar
I'm not really sure what any of these files does. Can anyone shed any light on this?
Cheers
Carlton
yeah thats was the dir i ment
what i would try was to copy all those files to your pc
and view them in a text editor to see what they point to
and so find out what they are and remove the one which point to that o2 thing
or if the program is installed from the extented rom i would think it would be possible to go to remove programs in system and find it there and then remove it untill your next hardreset (unless you remove it from the extented rom)
another path would be to get a registry editor and search and destroy it's settings
sorry i cant tell you 100% how to do it since i never had the program on my device
maybe somebody else will stumble across this thread knowing how to go about giving it the axe
connections is the link that starts the connections manager app. The o2 symbol in the middle top. Delete that from your startup and it will not start after a soft boot then.
Getting Rid of O2 Active
On first time installation or reistallation of the XDA -
Choose Corporate -
On the code wanted type in 0506 -
That should give you the Windows Pocket PC look back ...

no, tried that already. It's still starting. Is there a run section in the registry just like a dektop windows?
Looks like i got rid of it now. I removed the o2active shortcut from the windows startupscreen as well as removing "connections" in the windows/startup folder and rebooted for the second time.
I can actually keep the o2 battery indicator if i like. It doest seem to do any harm...yet.
Did I miss something here, why not just uninstall O2 active from the "remove programs" icon under settings (the program name is something along the lines of o2active_UI). It won't reappear after a soft reset then but will after a hard one.
It fails during unistall because of active files but yeah that should be possible if you manage to close all the active components first. But then you lose the battery plugin as well.
There are better battery plugins out there....
And fro my experience you could unisntall o2 active on an xda II while it was running, with a couple of folders being left over as a result... but with o2 active gone all the same...
thanks for the corporate code saks, just what I was after!
Anybody know which unlucky corporate client got their 0506 code leaked onto the web?
A couple of weeks ago I upgraded my 8525 to WM6 with the official AT&T ROM. During this process I remember setting up the Today screen to show three days of appointments and also what the format should be (I set it up for each appointment to say Today, Tomorrow, etc. I think the other option(s) was to display the date in various ways). My phone
now shows appointments for the following three days and says Today, Tomorrow, Sunday, etc. for the day.
I wanted to play with these settings but I can't seem to find any menu that will let me change what is set up. I'm pretty sure I did this during the initil setup right after loading the new AT&T WM6 ROM. Does anyone know where these settings can be changed? I don't want to do a hard reset and lose everything else I have loaded on the phone. I'm wiilling to hack the registry if needed.
Are you using TodayAgenda plugin? The configurator is in \Program Files\TodayAgenda\TAOptions.exe, or alternatively tap and hold anywhere on the today plugin until the options menu comes up, and then goto options.
Thanks for the pointer, but I am using the stock AT&T ROM, no extra plug-ins. If I click on an appointment and go into the Calendar, Tools -> Options doesn't have any settings for appearance or how many days to display. Start -> Settings -> Today -> Items doesn't provide many options for Calendar either.
I looked at the registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar" and just ...Microsoft\Calendar but I didn't find anything obvious that I could change. Maybe some of the other flags there determine how this works but I didn't want to risk ruining my setup so that's why I'm asking here.
Thanks!
go to Settings > Today > Items, click on the calendar plugin, then click on the options button. Can you adjust it from here?
Alternatively, you can try Calendar+, its a free today plugin with more display options than the default calendar plugin
http://www.mohairsofa.com/Default.aspx/document/10
The settings for the Calendar item under the Today Plug-In don't include anything to change the number of days displayed.
I'm trying to keep the number of add-ins to a minimum. I had Calendar+ with WM5, but it didn't seem to work right with WM6. I can't remember exactly what issue I had, but I ended up doing a hard reset. The last update to this software was over a year ago.
I know the functionality is there in the stock software. If only I could figure out how to control it!
Internet & MMS not working, after Tmobile settings set properly(?) (Tzones), RegEdit?
I used a cab file called "tmobyjoe599" to set my internet settings on my 8525 flashed with Faria's 6.1.
I am able to get to google, but when going to any site like m.myspace.com, etc, it locks on "connecting..." and the circle freezes. I can close the IE app, but then the OS gets sloow, and it doesn't ever end the IE task when I attempt to. Short of a soft reset, the device gets frozen.
When sending an MMS message, it gives me a sending envelope icon with an arrow, showing it's leaving, with a progress meter that gets to 95% then stops. Never goes past that.
I was messing with some Regedit keys for the server for the weather app and may have messed something up that way. Is there a way to reset these settings short of a Hard Reset?
Is there a valid cab file that will set the Tzones $5.99 plan internet & mms settings for WM6.1 for an 8525? I see settings all over this site and others, but none seem to be in the right places/settings menus as my load?
Much appreciated... I read this forum constantly, but hardly ever post.
JT
Yeah. I have the cab for the 5.99 and the 29.99.
The 39.99 never worked for me so I don't use it anymore. The 29.29 version works perfectly for me. I like the fact they make the allowed mms size larger.
Here you are. Enjoy.
Oh yeah. In the future you probably want to do a search and it will show. I'm sure you'll get that response from many a veteran around here.
Please note, I have already used the tmobyjoe599.cab file (I have it on my storage card), and even after a hard reset, after setting this cab, this is when I experience the lockup issues. Running this .cab doesn't reset the registry server settings, does it?

I don't know. You may be forced to either do a hard reset or reflash your rom.
Use Pim Backup 2.8 to back up all your data and do a hard reset. Then rerun the settings cab of your choice and see what happens.
Your registry changes may be the problem.
did you use advanced config or any other app to change the IE cache/cookies location to your SD card? I have seen your exact symptoms caused by this.. try setting them back to the default location
Did PIMbackup. I'll ck advancedconfig program to make sure I didn't change anything in there... Been in there a few times, not sure if I did.
After that, if it's still not resolved I will hard reset, then do the tmobyjoe599 cab, and see if it works and report back.
I checked Locations tab of advancedconfig and the Default storage location for downloads, ie cache location, ie cookies location and ie history location were all pointed to sd card. I reset those to device, and will ck shortly.
Internet works now you guys rock.
hummm i need step by step i guess
I downloaded the cab file for my t-zones, and it worked..only problem was that its slow and certain web sites cant be shown, mainly web sites with a password like gmail and a few others, how do I fix this?
Hi Everyone,
Just a quick question on restoring titanium weather to my home screen.
I went through the trouble of finding my code etc when i set it up, but then i accidentally hit yes for the "do not display summary page" in the setup options. (This is NFSFAN's latest 6.5 ROM on a Bell HTC TOuch)
Now, I am unable to get it back. What is the easiest way of getting this working agin?
Any help is greatly appreciated
QUick addition
I also should have added that I looked at the Titanium registry key for summary and it was set to disabled. I set this to enabled, but still no luck.
+1 on this issue. I have the same problem!
I think I figured it out!
You have to go into your windows folder. Scroll down to Titanium Weather. Once you get there open up titaniumweatheroptions.mscr and reset everything to enabled (even if they are already set to enabled). Then go back to the windows folder and double click on titaniumweather.exe and it will run! It now shows up in it own panel and in CAnalog Clock for me. Just to be sure I wasnt kidding myself, I turned off Titanium and moved CTitaniumWeather up and down the list to be sure it is there!
Let me know if it works for you or if you have any Q's.
EDIT: I have actually had a ton of issues with things just disappearing from the Home Screen, after a few more issues with the weather and other panels, I just reflashed my phone.
You're Brilliant Gersonian
Your advice worked like a charm. I kept on playing with the registry entries and never even thought to look in the Windows folder. Really glad I didn't have to resort to reflashing again
I like WM 6.5 but it leaves me confused.
1. Txt msgs... before, If I got a new msg notification, the new msg would open if I clicked on the notification. Now if I click on the new msg notification I have to hunt through all my msgs to find the new msg. Is there away to set things so that the msgs are displayed in the reverse order that they come in.
2. Second, for the life of me I can't figure out how to display all my installed programs. I have a screen where most of them show up, all the pre installed programs, but not all of the ones that I have installed.
You should be able to view it from your Installed programs in start > settings > system > installed programs.
If that does not do the trick, download SK Tools it should work. If not TMS uninstaller is another one.
IN regards to your txt messages, I remember reading about another user who had the same issue. I don't know if it ever got solved, but check about 2 weeks back on these forums.
Hi guys, I have a TP2. I have a quick question. I'm not sure if before I did the update to the 6.5 the accelerometer would work when i put the phone on landscape with out taking out the keyboard. Also wasn't there an option on 6.1 that let you set it to auto? it no where to be found. is there a fix for this? please help/advise thanks
