Weather animation switch not not working

I have problem with new CHT. Not working weather animation in home screen. Weather switch as button not working. Even enable "Sun rays' in CHT confiuration not fixing this issue. I know it can be fixed with registry modyfication - can someone post it?

Another thing is if even this animation working, then is something f'ck'd up with "sunny" animation - sun rays are in top of the sun instead of the sun. How fix this?

GPS And Lock Screen

Guys,

Great thread, found tons of useful stuff here!

Got a question:

I recently read of some registry tweaks that stop gps turning the backlight off:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6404869&postcount=21

But I'm running iGO and whilst the light stays on, the Lock-Screen appears.

It's an ongoing issue mentioned numerous times on the forums.

I wondered that since there are specific GPS registry tweaks concerning Power, maybe there were ones that dealt with Security - and the Lock Screen.

I had a look but couldn't find any.

Anyone any ideas?

Google Maps auto rotate

Thanks. CAB works fine. Would it be possible to make Google Maps auto rotate to the GPS travelling direction (like the iPhone version)? Thus, the phone orientation remains unchanged, but the little blue arrow showing position & direction always points upwards. I think that's cool. Can't get that effect in winmo, though :(

From the homepage, press "menu" (softkey), select "Cookie's Home Tab Editor", select "Lockscreen settings", off all selections in the first section. In the second section, select "Manila". Done. Press "menu" softkey at the bottom, select "exit". Sense will restart automatically.

This cab is for devices running winmo 6.1, like the HTC Touch HD.

Twitter Login Error!

Hi all,

Maybe this is already somewhere in this thread, but I couldn't find it.

To avoid a login error with the HTC Peep Twitter client, make sure you've signed out of Twitter in the browser.

If you're not, you'll get a "Incorrect username and password" message when trying to activate the Twitter data service or logging in with HTC Peep.

I've been searching for hours today before I found this solution, so it might be a good idea to add it to the list.

Thanks.

Favourites Backup

Guys,

Referring to this Tweak:

"98. Files You Should Back up Before a Hard Reset for Trouble Quicker Restoration

After a hard reset, it is a pain to have to restore your custom settings etc. Here are my recommended files to back up. Some files and folders can just be copied to a backup folder on your Storage Card, while registry entries will need to be exported to your backup folder. To restore after a hard reset just overwrite the orginal file.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\People\FavoriteOrde r - a Registry Key Folder (The order of your favourites in People Tab)"

Although it works brilliantly, I've noticed that it doesn't restore the Favourites in:

Phone > All People > Favorites.

Any ideas how to backup/restore here?

I hope no one has asked this - BU the registry

Ok, so if i follow and configure all the tweaks available on this thread - how can i back it up so that i can "restore the tweaks" should my phone crap out at some point - or in my case, my wife and i have the same phones and i would like to be able to perform all tweaks on my phone and transfer to her phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tboy2000:
Once you have done these reg tweaks, export them to your SD card and after a hard reset or after transferring the reg tweaks to your wife's SD card just tap on the reg entries to import them to the registry again. It is best if your wife has the same rom as yours though.

To export a reg tweak just bring up the pop up menu and choose export. You can't really export a single entry but you can export the folder/key that contains the reg you want to back up. Resco registry or other registry editors should allow you to export and import.

When I first open the SMS I can swype but nothing shows up for a bit (loading the messages I guess) I've read about the click send blank option, is there anything else? Sorry if it's been asked already, I did search for it already too, just didn't see that many answers.

Problem with using headset to start MS voice command

Hi,

I have tried the long_send.lnk trick with MSVC, which works , but I can't receive call with send button. Now my main problem is the call button on my headset that when I long press it, it doesn't start any application, but after I install Cyberon VSD, it starts. There should be somewhere that we can configure the file location in which this long press function triggers, but still can't find it. I even can't find the Cyberon exe files.

Enable Sent SMS Status Notifications

103. Enable Sent SMS Status Notifications

By default, you have no confirmation if an SMS has been sent or not. Now you can enable a pop up message to tell you if an SMS has been successfully sent and even if it has failed. Go to All Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications tab, tap on Event and choose Message: Send failed and check Display message on screen. Next choose Message: Send succeeded and check Display message on screen. Finally you must also make the following reg tweak: HKLM\Software\Jataayu\Messaging\DisableSMSSucess change from 1 to 0.

Had this working prior to a hard reset. No longer have the "Message: Send" choice or the HKLM settings listed above. Can anyone help me with this?

82. Make Common Apps Open Instantly With No Delay

The most often used apps on the HD2 would be SMS and Email. As the HD2 has plenty of memory and it is very hard to fill it up during use, why not add these two apps to the task manager exception list. This means they will never truely exit and will always be open in the background. The benefit of this is that HTC Messaging does not automatically refresh and redraw the contact thumbnails when you load the app. Instant opening of both apps with no load time. You can add any other app to this list too if you never want it to exit.

Just use this tweak. HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System and add a new DWORD Value of Messaging_Client.exe and tmail.exe

How to do exactly?

Create a DWORD named "Messaging_Client.exe " and "tmail.exe", and put the value to "1"?

You have to apply this tweak AFTER the battery reaches 20% or lower. In my exprience, every time the battery level reaches 20% the value in that registry keys changes to 1. Then if you modify it to "0", the flash work again. But again after recharging the battery & going down again to 20%, same thing happens again & you'll have to re-apply the tweak.

For those having problems with GPS connectivity and loss of connection when phone going into standby mode, the following two tips may help:

1. Registry tweaks

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Resuming]

"gps0:"=dword:00000001

"gpd0:"=dword:00000001

"com4:"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\State\Unattended]

"gps0:"=dword:00000001

"gpd0:"=dword:00000001

"com4:"=dword:00000001

2. The HTC Sense Location service appears to interfere with the GPS settings and constantly reset the COM port to COM 0. The HTC AGPS service should be turned off in HTC Settings -> Location -> AGPS Service: Turn off.
