Enable Both Clock & Battery Icons

1. Just install Advance Configuration Tool and QuickMenu.

2. Run Advance Config, on Today option select show Battery, select Done then OK (your phone will restart).

3. Select QuickMenu option then goto View tab, select/enable "Show battery on title" and "Show on all titles" then OK.

Now you have both Battery Icon and Clock and it will show on all application.

It works for my iPAQ 612c and iPAQ6828RW..
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
for completely different approach check out the application I've done. it completely replaces the taskbar and hides all notification icons from WM. Instead you see in the middle of taskbar the clock, and on left/right are nice indicators for signal strength and battery. Besides that you can launch anything you want when hitting on different areas of the taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Kogar:
BattClock

I like BattClock.

It makes an overlay over the original Clock or whereever you want to position it on the taskbar.

It can display both the Clock and Battery and other stuff at the overlayed place.

Hi, I have a HTC Hero Eureopean version that I bought in Canada before Telus announce that Hero was comming to Telus. I was able yesterday to downgrade to version RUU 2.73.405.5 using the Gold Card method. Works fine :)

Now I was wondering is there a way to flash the radio of the european version with the one for the US and Canada so I can get 3G data transfer instead of old EDGE. I already set up the APN with Rogers and works ok on EDGE (for now)

I read a bit on the forum and there so much thread that I'm a bit confused. I'm kinda new to all this so please excuse me if this already beed discuss somewhere else.

I,m still reading and getting really excited about the androis platform and everything.

Thanks guys (and girls)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mancsoulja:
If you cant do it with your goldcard, You'll need to route your device, then do it with flashrec or sumat theres a few guides in the hero section :D

[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
Based on your errors (thanks for putting them all in there) it looks like you downloaded the update directly from Sprint (OTA), so you would think that the download itself was fine. But if it's saying it's not signed then the download must be corrupted. Try going back through the menu and saying firmware update again. If it says there isn't one available then you may need to delete update.pkg and reboot and try again.

Also just an FYI, Fresh ROM 4.0+ has the new update already in it.
[Hero CDMA General] slackwaresupport:
ya.. ive was on modaco.. just didnt like it. is the fresh really that good?? i had problems with modaco when i goto edit a contact, it says social network not available, and doesnt let me edit it.
[Hero CDMA General] slackwaresupport:
fresh rom 4.0+???? i only see 0.6b..
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
I meant it's been included since 4.0. Grab 0.6b if you like the blue theme (check the screen shots) or just 0.6 if you don't want the theme.

And you can't ask if I think it's that good... I make it. :rolleyes:

[Imagio General] stevefxp:
Morning all,

First I would like to wish everyone in the states a very happy turkey holiday. Hopefully yours was as excellent as mine was.

Now onto the real business. I have an Imagio that for the most part I love. While I cannot wait for the SPL and to be able to build custom ROMs I am waiting patiently.

I am trying to run iGo8 on the Imagio and have not found any definitive way of doing it. I have cobbled together some details that work, but are not very stable. Here is what I have currently:

1) iGo8.3.2 97313

2) TTS Susan

3) Dimka HD skin

I searched this section and found a thread on how to get iGo8 to run in landscape 800x480 mode. While this was helpful for the default iGo skin it blows up when trying to use the Dimka HD skin. Second TTS does not work at all, whether I have TF3D running or not. I get no soothing Susan!

I was wondering how people are doing with iGo8 and how do you have it running.

Thanks,

Steve
[Imagio General] yusky03:
running 8.3.4 with default skin which I love at the native resolution and it runs perfectly!
[Imagio General] Sweeny Russ:
Best 3d gps software out there.
[Imagio General] Osteo:
I'm running 8.3.4.10280 installed on my SD card, can't get TTS to work but otherwise runs great in landscape or portrait. I'm using "Dave" for regular voice but no matter what I try I can't get TTS to work.

Interestingly this version can read the "geocoded" contacts addresses that prior versions can generate from your WM contacts but it can't generate the file itself so....

If you want to get your contacts to display on the map as POI, you need a different version. I currently have another version (8.3.2.97313) installed in main memory and when I add a contact I'll run this version that will generate the needed file and it adds it to the contacts on the card. This was the only feature that I thought TomTom had over the iGo but now that I got it working iGo tops TomTom in eye candy and utility (IMHO).

Please don't ask where to get the files, they're out there on the interwebs, seek and ye shall find....

You can try Windows Media Encoder (from Microsoft).

hi guys,

i seem to be having the same problem with the whole audio and video out of sync. i have tried a range of format eg. wmv, mp4, 3gp etc but all are about half a second out of sync. i have even tried core player and tmpcp but with no luck. did anybody else have this problem and manage to fix it? any help will be much appreciated

[HD2 General] cgeboers:
DVDFab6

I have not (yet) seen the problem with the sound you describe here.

I use DVDFab6 since a while, originally to convert videos to my iPod, but now also to my HD2.

I have a Touch Diamond too, but the screen is a bit too small to watch for longer time and it drains the batteries also very fast. I haven't tried yet fully, but my first tests show me I can do 3-4 hrs of video on one battery and still have enough power left to use it as a phone. Which is very useful if you have to do a lot of short flights.

I use the PS3 settings in DVDFab6 and adjust the display to 800x444 size, depending on the original size. I found that I can not play them directly from Mediaplayer, but if I click on them in the FileExplorer they start playing without any problem.

BTW, also the iPod m4v files play nicely without delays on the HD2
[HD2 General] padlad:
Yeah i have the same problem, the video/audio file is perfect on my pc but about half a second out of each other on my HD2. You can adjust the audio/video sync in core player but it shouldn't be happening in the first place.
[HD2 General] shaunkul:
hi guys, thanks for your help. i called htc tech support but all they were able to say was perform a hard reset, which sadly didnt fix the problem! even mp4 videos downloaded straight from the net have the same problem. such a shame because apart from that its an amazing phone. will keep trying and post up if i have any luck
[HD2 General] Mad Jock:
I just tried the one that Braakie suggested and although it converted my 700Mb AVI film to a 500Mb MPEG 4 film, when i tried to copy it to my SD card on my HD2 it said the MPEG 4 format wasn't supported. Can someone enlighten me as to what formats are supported and/or what movie player they use.
[HD2 General] Moandal:
I'm having the same audio sync issues as others here. I'm encoding using handbrake and when I play it back on the PC it is perfectly in sync. However when I play it back on the HD2 using the HTC video player the audio lags slightly but noticeably behind the video. When I copy it to my wife's Touch HD it plays fine, so it seems to be a problem with the HD2 software.

I'm running the stock Vodafone 1.43 ROM with all hotfixes applied. Will a ROM update fix this? Anyone else with this ROM having/not having this problem?

I'd be very grateful for any input.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Chaps,

Somewhere on XDA is Chainfire's video driver update (or a reference to it) which you should find and install to help overcome the lip synch issue.

If you can't find it using Search...http://www.google.com/advanced_search?q=+site:http://xdaforums.com&hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all then go onto the Modaco site and its there somewhere under the Toshiba TG01 device.

Good hunting.

[HD2 General] Moandal:
Thanks for your help - I've found the driver here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=592663

However, as far as I can see that's a 3D OpenGL driver and not something that I would expect to affect video/audio synchronisation. Unless, of course, you had the same problem and this fixed it for you? I don't really want to mess about with video drivers unless I'm sure it will fix it.
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
I was a little dubious and cautious myself but installing the driver did seem to make a difference, sufficient for me not to notice it as much.

Installation is a personal choice. You might want to make a full backup of your device using, say, SPB Backup, before you install. That way you can do hard reset and restore if you don't like the driver.

All the best,

WB
[HD2 General] pastypacker:
I have the same problem with youtube vids too, just had a replacement hd2, but it's just the same, skyfire, coreplayer, youtube you name it, audio lags the video...

Real pain in the butt for a device who's main feature is a huge screen...!!!
[HD2 General] Moandal:
Well I installed the 3D driver, which was easy enough, but unfortunately it made no difference at all to the video/audio sync in either of the two driver modes so I uninstalled it again. (No need for a hard reset, thankfully). I'm using the video in this thread to test since you can easily tell whether it's properly in sync or not.

My G1 refuses to boot all the way up. It hangs with a black screen after the initial Android logo.

I can get into the recovery mode (RA v1.3.2) and I have tried a Nandroid restore, but get the message:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0)

(Invalid argument)

E:Can't mount SDCARD:/nandroid/

I've also tried to flash a fresh image from a rom on the sdcard, but get a similar message, ie. Can't mount

I'm running Dwang's rom 1.12

I've tried wiping my ext partition (I had to do this when I first flashed this rom, although I don't understand what that does), but no luck.

I seriously, seriously NEED to get this phone back in a working state in the next couple of hours, I'm expecting a really important call. I don't care about my apps or data, I just need the phone/text functions sorted asap.

I can get into the console via recovery - can someone suggest some magic to enable me to nandroid restore or flash?

Can someone PLEASE help me? :-)

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
I hope my sdcard isn't going bad, I only just shelled out for this class 6 8GB card about 6wks ago :-(

Since I got home last night, I took the card out and got it into a card reader on the computer - Windows XP told me the card was not formatted, and I had to format/repartition before I could reflash a ROM.

Any ideas what might've caused this? The only thing that I can think of is that earlier on yesterday I was swapping videos wit friends via bluetooth, and one of the videos wouldn't play - I don't know whether this could've corrupted my card?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
If you had an excessive amount of writes and a poor quality SDcard, that could have contributed but its most likely a defective card if it happened only after 6 weeks. Get a program to fully scan the SDcard to see if it can find bad sectors to make sure that it is indeed the SDcard or some other problem.
[HD2 General] Noam23:
The main need for the lock screen is in the following situation:

Phone is in your pocket (or bag), a hard key is accidentally pressed, the device wakes up. This by itself is not a problem, since without anything else happening the device will go back to sleep, but, if another hard key is pressed while the device is active (screen press can not happen while in pocket, since it's capacitive), the device can start do annoying things.

Now, if the proximity sensor can be designed to switch on when device wakes up, and put it back to sleep (immediately) if device is in pocket/bag, this will kill the need for a lock screen. This is totally possible and just awaits the programmer who wants to make our lives easier...
[HD2 General] bommel0815:
hm. try pocketShield?

it locks and unlocks your device by use of the light sensor.
[HD2 General] Noam23:
Interesting. I will use it for now.

The problem with using a light sensor is that if you use the phone in the dark it won't unlock. Proximity sensor won't have this problem hence it's a better sensor for the task.
[HD2 General] Noam23:
Apparently this will happen even without the help of the XDA community...

I've just sent the following email to PocketShield:

This is their answer:

[HD2 General] appelflap:

[HD2 General] jamieeeee:
won't this increase battery drain dramaticly? i think it will becouse it will be constantly looking for light and using that proximity sensor..
[HD2 General] X1-owner:
You are wrong about one important detail though. The screen is very sensitive and can easily be pressed through the lining of your pocket, and even through fairly thick fabric like jeans.
[HD2 General] saintnickxiii:
it's a capacative screen...

capacative scree = no stylus/fingernail/penny/spoon

it wont be acvitating throught screen contact.

impossible. (unless you have rrrrrealy thin pants, and the current can pass throught them)
[HD2 General] madbird:
hi, the pants didnt have to be that thin. i think the hd2 screens also vary a lot, in being more or less sensitive. another thing is that people are deifferent when it cames to electric fields. also sweating can affect the display. i startet programs and other touchscreen things already, when the device was in my pocket.

regards mad
[HD2 General] pckshd:
In the case of Pocketshield, it won't. Because all sensors only turn on during a short period of time (seconds). Once you unlock or turn off, sensors go to sleep. This is one of the reasons why "auto lock" is not possible, because that will indeed involve a permanent monitoring on the sensors.
[HD2 General] X1-owner:
You don't know what you're talking about. I didn't say it was sensitive to pressure, but rather that direct contact between skin and the screen is not necessary. Holding my finger on one side of the fabric, and the other side of the fabric touching the screen, this is registered by the screen as a touch EVERY TIME. There are maybe materials that completely isolates the screen, for other materials it probably depends on how thick they are. For me it is certainly possible to influence the screen even through pretty thick cotton fabric (maybe other types of fabric too, I wear mostly cotton), leather, and even paper. Just to test it, I just did a slide to unlock my HD2 through a pile of papers (granted it wasn't a very thick pile, only six sheets of paper thick), and through my leather shoes (this was a little trickier, I had to to make sure that my foot made good contact with the leather at the point where I was sliding my phone across the shoe). i can interact with the screen through normal denim jeans fabric without any problem, and the pocket lining of trousers are usually quite thin, so accidental interaction with the screen seems almost unavoidable if the screen is unlocked in the pocket.

I have actually had some problems a couple of times when the slide to unlock had been deactivated on my HD2. I once took my phone out of my pocket and it was at the confirmation screen for factory reset, and I have actually had the phone hard reset on me once which I suspect may have been caused by the slide to unlock being deactivated. I would never knowingly put an unlocked phone in my pocket, and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, but you're welcome to do as you please.
[HD2 General] saintnickxiii:
oh, i didn't know it was that sensitive, then, i can really see a need for an apps like this.

but, what about just a normal case? slip it in and out? i mean, i think that COULD solve your problem in a 'no thrills' sorta way... but it wouldnt be as exciting now would it?
[HD2 General] saintnickxiii:
this of course is also true.

taking this into account, i would suggest everybody ground themselves. lol, no... just kidding. i don't even think that would help.

configuring MMS Settings

Hi not sure if you solved this but for other peoples reference here is how you can check your settings.

Run the connection setup which will create an MMS connection that you can check in

all settings /connections/connections/advanced tab/select networks> there should be a connection called *.* MMS Settings > click edit to make sure the settings are as they should be.

* make sure when you exit the network management screen that your default internet connection is selected or your internet will not work.

exit from here and then go to messaging tab on the home screen.

choose all messages/menu/settings/options.

in this screen choose menu/MMS server and then configure or check your settings.

In my case the connection wizard had a space in the server name and the wrong port selected

Hope this helps
[HD2 General] optiknerv:
From connection setup makesure you select to update connection setup database. It found a new one when i did it.
