RE: 38. Disable Extra Animation on Clock

Everytime you refresh the home screen, the flip clock starts 1 hour and 2 minutes back to show off the flip animation. You can disable this extra animation so it only flips when it needs to flips. Download the modified manila file at the end of this post. Disable HTC Sense in Today settings. Backup original Windows file (you are going to overwrite) to your SD card. Extract downloaded file to Windows directory on your device (overwriting the original). Enable HTC Sense again in today settings.

I disable the flip clock using jayvee's cab, but it also disabled my weather animation. Since, I didn't like it, I uninstalled it, but the clock still didn't flip which is good, but then I don't get the weather animation either.

Weird.

How to enable Sense again. I can't find any today settings to enable it. Any registry tweak. Thanks.

Calendar and location issues

Hi!

I've been playing with my HD2 for some days now and while I'm generally whopping with joy, there are a couple of things I couldn't fix (or understand, either).

First, I sync with Outlook 2003. I works ok, except that all-day events are NOT synced. Specifically, the name days inserted by Outlook NameDays. Insofar I have never had this problem, either with HTC or Nokia phones.

Secondly, My Location shows as "My Location" instead of my city's name, even after I update the weather using Wifi. Is this normal or is there something that can be done?

I have ROM 1.48.479.1 WWE, Manila 2.5 and radio 2.05.51.

Cheers!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThoroSOE:
I'm surprised that it still isn't in here but the following helps a lot to navigate through large folders in the default file explorer (f.e. the windows folder). Just bring up the virtual keyboard and type the first letter of the file you're looking for and you will jump directly down to the first file with the desired first letter two seconds later. Now you just have to scroll and search from there, much easier than having to scroll to the letter in question first. It always takes the last letter you typed so if you type more letters like "so" to go to a file that begins with those two letters it will instead take you to the first file that starts with an "o".

Thank You tboy2000 and all that contributed

With the T-Mobile USA ROM, the WiFi Router was not included. The WiFi Router can be added with a .CAB file.

In most of the Euro/Asian T8585 Leo's there is a place in the Comm Manager for the WiFI Router.

Does anyone know or can post the registry settings of their T8585 Euro/Asian version to make this possible on the USA T-Mobile version to have the WiFi Router listed in the Comm Manager.

I would really appreciate it.

tboy2000,

Also on the T-Mobile USA ROM, there is not a option for the screen controls in settings. Several people posted questions about this. Maybe you can include this tip to help other users in your excellent list. I can not take credit for this tip because it has been posted in various places on xda.

HKLM/ControlPanel/Pen/Hide Default 1 change to 0 to have: Screen Alignment,ClearType,Text Size options.

Screen Alignment

The screen option in settings is hidden on the T-Mobile HTC HD2. You can make it visible in the registry

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Pen

Set the value of "Hide" to 0 (currently it is 1). Then the screen option will be visible in the system folder under all settings.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIKOSXRI:
When for any reason the volume goes down again, click the volume button in the earphone, just to stimulate it, set your prefferred settings for ring volume etc and then soft reset and the high earphone volume is back.

It is not a complete solution, of course, but it is better than having to raise and low the volumes after each call.

Up to now there is not a better solution to this problem.

If someone knows a better registry setting or tip solution he can post it.

Another problem also is that sometimes the last call button is accidentally pushed in the bluetooth earphone and the last call is activated.

I will try to find the setting that disables last call through bluetooth if there is any.

Hello everybody,

First of all many thanks for all posts and interesting tweaks you put here.

I ve read most of this loooong post looking for a solution about the camera parameter.

I have a Leo with french original rom (bouygues) and I used as you recommended some of the tweak for the camera. I was looking to have the hidden mode on.

However, the camera now does not work anymore, I have just enable and disable some of the P1 to P10 in the HKLM but now, I do not have any more camera mode working (video seems to work but I really need the standard camera).

Does anyone would be gentle and save my Leo, I would like not hard reset it.

I am looking for the P1 to P10 HKLM/HTC/CAMERA parameter of the origin.

Thanks a lot to all and long live to our Leos.

Thanks

Thanks for this. I spent more than a few minutes looking for the Screen icon that allows me to make screen adjustments. Who would guess it was not there, because HTC disabled the feature.

I changed the value to 0 (meaning "off") where indicated, rebooted, and voilà, there was the "Screen" icon. Clicked it and made my adjustments.

Note: the Screen adjustments includes the ability to turn on Clear Type. When I went to that adjustment it was unchecked, meaning "off."

I wonder why that was disabled. Maybe HTC did not want it on as it conflicts with Sense in some manner?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SanFrancisco:
These tweaks are changes you make ON YOUR PHONE. It's fairly easy, you make changes in a manner similar as you would do on a computer. PHMRegEdit is a cab file that you install from your microSD card.

Once installed reboot and look for the PHM icon in your list of programs.

PHM RegEdit is FREE and it works very well. Even has a backup feature.

Remember BEFORE doing anything in the registry, FIRST backup the entire registry ON TO YOUR SD CARD!

PHM's default backup is to the main memory. Just change it to put the backup file on to your microsd card.

If you mess things up you would just restore your registry on to the phone. How do you restore your registry? Easy, simply click "Tools" in PHM RegEdit and select "Restore." :)

You know, after spending about the last two hours messing with these kinds of tweaks I have to wonder why they were turned off on our HD2s. Maybe they wanted to market features like this as something cool about the Touch Pro2?

I do remember that when I bought the Touch Pro2 T-Mobile did advertise this as a feature. Interesting.

Here's a tip you might want to add:

On the HD2 camera, rather than tapping the shutter icon to take a photo, hold it down. This will cause the camera to immediately refocus and then take the shot. I find it helps to reduce camera shake as you are not moving your finger off the screen just as the phone takes a snap!

set "Download Directory" to string value "\Storage Card\Incoming"
