Hi there,
From my Blackstone days I had a file and reg edit to create "multiple snooze" options for notifications.
So when your alarm or notification goes off, you could click the menu and choose to snooze in 5, 10, 15 etc minutes.
The only downside is that it removes the HTC big view of the notification, you get a Windows mobile default, which to be honest I prefer. This is only for notifications though, you know the message that appears on screen, nothing else, everything else stays the same.
I can make a cab which would make it totally installable / uninstallable if you like. Depends how many want it...
Excellent idea
Would these options be configurable? Would be much appreciated!
hi there,
no they would be the default Windows Mobile ones which the Htc Notifiations removes, think they are 5, 10, 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
I would be interested!
thank you
hi all, this has already been done. I've downloaded the cab already - couldn't find the thread, but it is on here.
I find the alarm on my HTC Pro 2 to be quite unreliable. The phone tends to crash for no apparent reason when sitting on the charger. I haven't fully investigated yet, but it seems to be often crashing at 1:55am whenever an alarm is specified the next morning :S
Having said that, I would like the option of having multiple snoozes to choose from. It's just so annoying my alarm clock crashes. Not good for waking up!
What I really need !!
I would be interested too! I miss this option very hard.
@martinjclarke: could you please look again or tell us the name of the cab-file to look for it
Thanks to all who help to solve this!

I've always wished the notifications COULD be tweaked - why in the world don't the Snooze options mirror those in Outlook? There are WAY too few options in Windows Mobile! How about 8 hours, for those things that might go off at 8am, and you would like to be reminded at the end of the workday?? Or many of the other options available on the Desktop version of Outlook...

I haven't seen this one before, but it may well be able. You usually find that things are duplicated in all forums as people create the same things as they have the same ideas.
I'll get it posted on here later then for people who want it.
it may have been this one...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3716251&postcount=2280
that's the name of the cab file I used anyway - and it works a treat. Can go back to constantly snoozing reminders by one hour and never getting any work done!
Works great except it didn't keep the HTC notification screen
Works great except it didn't keep the HTC notification screen, it's using the regular Windows one. Not a big deal, but doesn't look as slick. But thanks so much for the fix, HTC/TMobile missed that one big time. Nothing I dislike more than losing functionality when i upgrade.
When Your Not Flashing A New Rom On Your TP2.....What Do You Often Do On Your Phone? Better Yet What Are You Doing Right Now.
absolutely nothing.
just updated to wm6.5, t-mo usa. so far so good.
pressing my thumb into it gently watchin my smooth arse rom respond to my touch..
oh and moved you're thread over to general since this isn't really rom dev material.
trying to figure out how when i get a text message notification and hit reply instead of bringing me to default winmo messing client to bring me to htc messaging client very annoying lol
Thanks. I Realized That Was More Of A General Question Than A Rom Section Question.
Listening to music and getting ready for the next flash lol
right now im replying on this thread and tryin to get swype to work.
otherwise browsin the net, calls, sms, calender, sky remote record, email, tomtom, alarm clock, photos, watchin downloaded tv with coreplayer without needin to re-encode.
thats personal!
haha, i was about to ask a similar question, what do you do to keep the spark in the relationship between you and your phone? i've upgraded from a raphael and apart from the hardware differences, its still windows mobile, so the WOW factor of having a new device kind of dies off quickly because you keep doing what you were doing with your previous device.
I just went through the "What do you have installed on your device" thread and picked up a couple apps that i previously didn't know about. Other than that, still looking to put the spark back in our relationship before it gets mundane.

Whats Going On With Your Swype???
I´m doing with my Rhodium...
Right now and after making a ROM tour (7) got back to me favourite: Energy Photon2!
Finished configuring all my stuff and ready to play NFS to relax
Guys don't forget to vote for Rhodium!!
Being quite cranky because I am very experienced and old and still being called a junior member.
And my AT&T Tilt 2 is a dog.

It wouldn't launch for some reason. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn't. I haven't really tried to use it enough to figure out why.

No, that's perfectly fine...just please don't move around too much like that or you'll end up crotch-dialing somebody, and that's always difficult to explain.

Roughly in the same boat as you. I had a Raphael and was swooned by the Tilt 2's screen and keyboard. I d/l Energy ROMs and try to get Sense 2.5 to function as best as possible on the Tilt 2 (I love the ROMs and appreciate all his dedication and work, don't get me wrong). Right now I'm trying to get Facebook contact images to show up when people call (it reverts to the Outlook contact photo). I attempt to get a decent GPS lock and also look for games that run well. It's a constant battle to get things functioning nicely. AND I know that Sense 2.1 runs nicely and I brought this all upon myself.
Any advice - I've searched the forum and can't find how to fix annoyances with my standard ROM Touch Pro 2 with HTC's Win Mo 6.5.
1. How do I get weather to update more frequently?
2. I'm mid-summer where I am now which means the sun is up and bright well before 7am. Why the @#&* does my Pro2 insist on showing me a moon until well gone 8am?! The weather app doesn't seem to be sunrise/sunset aware for each location and it seems to think we're all stuck in the middle of some Siberian winter all year around!
Mark
by defualt its set to update every 3 hours if you have auto update enabled.
If you want it to update more frequently use a registry editor and navigate to
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\
Scroll down to
Weather.AutoDownloadInterval
and edit the DWord Value which is in minutes
I just set mine to 45.
btw i just found out how to do this by searching the forum for "weather update interval" so try to search next time
98% of the issues your gonna have most likely have been experienced by somebody else
Well, the moon is often still in the sky, even if the sun is out!
Thanks for the pointer fone_fanatic.
Unfortunately that tweak doesn't work for me - the registry key didn't exist, but even creating it made no difference. I see others on the forum (I've found them now I know what I'm looking for) have the same problem.
Btw I did try searching ... but didn't think of that phrase. Which now I think of it is pretty obvious but at the time I tried several other that I thought would point me in the right direction!
You're right - xda-developers is a great forum for solutions and I've found many here. Problem is using honing in your problem on your phone when there's such a vast database.
Anyway - thanks again. Annoying that I can't fix this though!

Hmm ... ok.
But how about this? It's 10:30pm as I write this and the sun is still showing on my Pro2 home screen!
Make sure you are going to HKCU and not HKLM or the such. Setting that has worked for me for making it update properly for 5 different versions of TouchFlo.

Hi and thanks for the advice, but I have checked and triple checked.
I note plenty of people on the forum are having problems with this so I'm not the only one. Strange that HTC didn't allow a setting for this within the interface somewhere.

TouchFLO 3D's weather data seems to come from AccuWeather. (This might vary by the ROM and its intended country though.) Maybe HTC didn't want to risk overloading AccuWeather's servers with too many users updating too frequently.
As for the sun/moon ratio, I don't know where these guys had their heads. My location doesn't change from sun to moon until 9PM, even though by 7PM it's already dark.
So I thought I'd start a little thread to see what tips & tricks people are discovering about the Desire now that we are getting our hands on them
If you swipe your finger (L to R or R to L) across the middle button then you can scroll through home screens without touching the screen
If you want more options in browser including UAString (Android, Desktop, Iphone etc,) just type in url window "about:debug" (without quotes!) then press enter; it seems nothing happens but if you go into settings all new options are available
I'll be surprised if it hasn't been mentioned before, but a quick way to reboot:
Power button, vol down and press the track pad at the same time.
Download Advanced Task Killer! Applications just stay open once they are activated. I also use the Power Options widget on the main homescreen which is great for quick adjustments to brightness, WiFi and Bluetooth.
I am a new user here so I am not allowed to post outside links yet, but do a google search for "Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer with Android" and read the Geek For Me thing about task killers.
anyone here tried to re-arrange the 7 home screens? .. i could swear i saw it in some vid, you put it in "leap" view, and then you hold on of the screens and move it around!!!! ....

Hey guys, quick question I'm coming from a HTC Tytn and before that a Touch HD, I used to use S2U2 to lock on the Tytn and like the iPhone style text appearing on the lock screen, can the Desire do that?

"SMS popup" gives you the iPhone like popup whenever you receive an SMS.. Works on lockscreen as well as over any program/app. Unfortunately it doesn't do emails
Alternatively you can change the whole SMS app to chomp or handcent.. Those gives you popups as well.

SMS Popup does not seem to work on my device :-/ I think it might have something to do with Sense UI. Can anyone confirm they got it working on their Desire?
Yup. You can re-arrange the home screens but not by pressing in the big menue but by pressing when your actually on the screens and dragging them accross. Works a charm. Just got mine today and tried it!

Where on the screen(s) are you pressing to do this? The only thing I can manage to do is move individual item (widgets. shortcuts, etc) across different home screens but not the entire screen itself.
Hey guys i just got my tp2 today after being a blackberry user on verizon for the past few years. I got the chance to trade my storm 2 for the TP2 and took it as i love trying new phones out. However, i do have a few questions as this thing is pretty complex in comparison to my Storm2.
1. I know you can download themes and what not here on the TP2 much like you can on a blackberry and i saw one earlier today i would love to give a shot as it looks like everything i am looking for. HOWEVER, how do i go about doing something like that on this phone? Can i do it OTA like i did on the storm? Most of the issues lie in the fact that I am a mac user and do not have access to a Windows computer.
2. Are there any known problems you guys are having with the phones that i should keep an eye out for?
Any help or insight would be much appreciated and i look forward to sticking around for a while. I have wanted to try an HTC phone out for a while!!
Thanks in advance
For one, although it is no big deal in this post since this post is very general, we are a CDMA device and our main forums are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=517
1) Oh wow, you asked just about the second most complex question. WM has about one bajillion themes that you can use, each theme with their own unique features. Manila (Sense/TF3D/Manila), SPB Mobile Shell, Infinity by Ageye, iPhoneToday, the list goes on and on! What you like will be personal preference...my best suggestion would be give it a try and see if you like it. Here is a useful post with HUNDREDS of apps:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
2) You should install SSK Dynamic proxy and NoPushInternet to help improve performance. At0mAngD3D driver might be of use as well.
Best of luck with your new phone!
Thanks for the quick reply. My older brother told me to check out the SPB Mobile Shell i believe it was as he said there is sliding pages and what not much like the MyTouch or other HTC phones so i will def check those out. Can i download them OTA? That is going to be the biggest thing for me. I need to learn A LOT about this phone.
PS: It's nice to see another snowboarder in here. I manage a snowboard shop myself

Microsoft Marketplace will have the *majority* of apps you can find online available to download OTA. I do not believe it will automatically update the apps though (there are some 3rd party softwares that do).
SPB Mobile Shell is one of the most customizable UI's that we have. There are a ton of great widgets and themes for mobile shell as well, so there is no limit to what you can do (my favorite theme for SPB MS is the Mobile Sense Espresso)
BTW, very cool about the shop!! Where are you guys located?
We are located in Rochester, NY "The Ski Company" is the name of the store. Where can i get the Microsoft Marketplace?
Also, how do i go about downloading a new theme? I'm so lost with this phone
Edit: I really really like the look of that theme, as well. How do i get it? lol
Edit2: If i get a new theme (say i get that theme linked above) will i still get the weather that moves across my page and everything every so often? That is a feature i really enjoy with this phone.

Microsoft Market should be located in your start menu somewhere.
I find that there are more free apps online so I tend not to use marketplace that much. I download the .cab, copy it to my SD card and then use a file explorer to browse to/install the file. Google is usually good for me, I just search along the following lines "site:forum.xda-developers.com My Search terms". here is my example:
http://www.google.com/#hl=en&source...=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=&fp=908f344da1ea5ce4
That specific theme, SPB MS, is actually download-able from the marketplace, a demo version as well. Disable Sense UI (Start > settings > today .. browse to the item tab and uncheck HTC sense) and install SPB MS. After SPB MS is installed download the espresso theme and install that as well. With SPB MS you do not get the animated weather unfortunately, thats one of the benefits of the Manila UI.
