Hiden GPS Icon
Having tried the new HTC rom I found that the GPS WAS enabled (Tried it with Tomtom 6) but the GPS Icon in the settings menu is still hidden.
To enable/unhide the icon use a registry editing program and change the numerical value of the DWORD string that reads 'HIDE' from '1' to '0', then soft reset the device.
There are a couple of threads that can explain how to do this in more detail elseware on this forum.

Sometimes GPS takes too long to fixup
Hi!
I discover the problem. Sometimes the GPS takes 10 or 15 minutes to fixup!!! I've read that this is a known problem without solution.
Thanks anyway.

Not first fix, on clear sky, without moving during fix? I've read only one complaint, and it didn't say the conditions that made that fix so long.

In the regisrty there are a lot of folder wich one contain the DWORD?

if this is your level of understanding of the registry I strongly suggest you DO NOT try and modify until you thoroughly research it!
You may end up having to hard reset your device.

I already modify it last time but i forgett where theDowrd is..Under wich menu on the registry

OK Brigate- sorry just wanted to warn you!
I would do a search- this took me 10 nano seconds ;-) It's quicker than posting and waiting for a reply.
/snip
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec) keep the Hide key but change the value to 0 and delete the redirect value and soft reset
If you have a GPS device, you can add a GPS settings icon to your Start > Settings menu using:
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\Group = 2 (DWORD decimal)
HKLM\ControlPanel\GPS Settings\redirect <-- delete, or rename, this value
Note that '2' stands for the Connections tab, '1' is System and '0' would be Personal
Note also that this has reportedly disabled one person's USB connectivity. To restore, set "GPS Program Port = None", "GPS Connection Port = None", "Automatic GPS Management = on"
/ snip
This rings a bell- I tried it a long time ago on my M600 thinking the icon would help (it just stopped my BT GPS working!)

Well thx a lot

I use resco to modify the register but every time i do a softreset it returns all as default... So at last i can`t get the GPS ICON

Don't soft reset the phone, power off and on after by pressing the power button on the side until a question shows in the screen.

I found a programm for Trinity it´s Trinity Hacks and it do this.... So thx for the trick

Text truncated on device message

Hello all, first off, thanks to all the experts in this forum for spending so much time discovering and tweaking so folks with not so much free time (like me) can read here and get answers to just about anything.
I have a question regarding notes within a contact. I used to adjust a registry key named [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync]"BodyTruncation" on my Treo 750 to enable pretty large amounts of data to be contained within a note. This registry key does not seem to have the same effect on the Kaiser. I used to set it to dec 20480 and had no problems with the “Text truncated on device” with the 750 but my larger notes are still being truncated on the Kaiser even with the setting changed.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Hi Jpasint,
I use a Kaiser (TyTn II) and also alter the reg to 20480 as you do - it works for me when I proform a hard reset and the first piece of software I install (or open assuming it is already installed in your rom) is the regedit, HKEY Current User\software\microsoft\activesync\Body truncation = 20480 decimal as you do... then go to Activesync and tick the contact box and sync away... you will see that you no longer are getting "text truncated". As the size of your notes increase you may need to increase the Body truncation. I think it is best to do this in increments of 5120 each time.
I hope this helps and please let me know how you get on.
Regards,
J

Solution for Kaiser Camera Counter change

Just found out something which was not in the forums and thought to share it with all (found only one reference, but for different device - it had different location for the counter).
In case you want to change the counter of the file numbers that the camera will record with (i.e. IMAGE001.JPG, but you want IMAGE045.jpg), you need to edit your registry with a registry editor:
Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Camera\5.04\Preferences edit the key "Values" as per the attached screenshot - the next number for the picture (in HEX format - use windows calc in advanced mode to convert the number to HEX) should be typed at position 68 HEX.
Next time you take a picture it will use the number you placed there.

Nice one, I've been looking out for a solution to this issue! I'd like to add that if you want to set the counter beyond 255, you also have to edit position 69 HEX. This way, "FF 00" on positions 68 and 69 translates to "255", whereas "00 01" translates to "256", "01 01" translates to "257", etc.
To change the video counter, you have to change position 70 HEX. Keep in mind that this is not the position right after 69; after 69 comes 6A, 6B, etc., before you arrive at position 70. This probably is obvious to most of you, but it is a mistake easily made.

OK, this is exactly what I've been looking for also, but as a person who understands little or nothing about hex I would appreciate some guidance as to what to input, and precisely
where.
I would like to reset my camera's counter to 300, so that the files go 300.jpg. 301.jpg etc etc. If one of you could help me out, I'd appreciate it.
I just would rather not screw it up
Thanks.

As mvc mentioned, you can use the Windows calculator to convert the desired (decimal) value to the corresponding hexidecimal value. In your case, "300" would translate to "12C" (which equals to "01 2C"), meaning you have to change position 68 HEX to "2C" and position 69 HEX to "01".
If you need a program capable of editing the registry, I recommend the freeware utility Task Manager (the program which is used in the above screenshot):

Good luck!

Problem with Caller ID and contact list.

Hi
I have problem with Topaz. When I save in contact - mobile No with country code (egz. +44) and try to call from other phone my Topaz don’t recognize number and is showing as a number not contact which was saved.
If I save in contact mobile No as 0xxxxxxxx without country code everything works ok it will show. What is wrong? Is there any setup or patch or anything what I can do with that? I’m travelling quite often so I store numbers with country code.
(Sorry for English)

I do not have this problem, but afaik there is an option on how many digits the number is recognized.

Set your caller ID to identify according to greater or lesser number of digits.
Otherwise, it may be that you have duplicate entries. This would also affect Caller ID.

where is the setting to change the number of digits - I appear to only have options for all contacts, no or address book ...........but no digit mask

I'm having the same issue.....
I've tried to manually add a number. With/without all/some prefixes.
Using + and 00.
I've checked to duplicates.
I've emptied by phonebook and SIM.
I got someone to call me. Saved their number from the call.
I've tried, say, +353868033333 and +3530868033333 and 0868033333 and 868033333 and replaced the + with a Zero.
I've set my Caller ID from 12 down to 2 and still nothing.
I do note something interesting.
I had ONE phone number work so far.
And I've yet to discover why.
I've placed a call with HTC and they are aware of the issue for only a week so far it seems but I think this has been an issue even from previous models.
Anyone got any others ideas? I'm going to try the hard reset and allowing it to import one number from the SIM card. And then I'll sync my full phonebook and see. But I'm holding off a few days to see if HTC will wake up and smell the coffee.

starfish_001!!!
starfish_001,
You need to get a Regedit tool, such as "PHM Regedit" and go to....
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ ControlPanel \ Phone \
There is a key in there called "CallIDMatch".
You will have to change the range from about 12 down to 2 depending on your phone numbers etc. A soft reset is needed after each change to test.
BUT this has not solved my problem yet. It has for some it seems.

Excellent - I will give this a go

Ummm... there might be some trouble...
Let me try to help...
Normal number should consist of:
+ (international prefix)
xxx (country code)
xxx (area code/provider prefix)
xxx xxxx (phone number)
So let's use some reverse engineering:
- are ALL phone numbers in your country lenght 7 digits?
- is area code always 3 digits?
- how long is your country code?
For example, post #5:
"+353868033333 and +3530868033333 and 0868033333 and 868033333"
phone number: 8033333
area code: 086
country code: 353
Catch 22: you HAVE TO ommit 0 from area code, so it becomes 86 and correct form becomes first one, +353 86 8033333.
So recognition lenght should be: 7 + 2 + 3 = 12. Right? Not always.
Normally, math goes like this: (shortest possible phone number lenght in your country) + (shortest possible area code lenght without zero) + (country code)
In my country, it looks like this: 6 + 1 + 3 = 10
Example: +385 1 999999
But, there could be: +385 51 999999
and: +385 91 999999
If you go from lenght 2 up, you notice that till lenght 8 those 3 numbers are same for caller ID!
Now, try to play that with you country's number format... not to mention USA, where country code is 1!
Sorry if all of this was already obvious...

Bodisson,
Thanks for that expansion of the issue.
I'm going to give it another go.
Unfortunately the phone numbers here in Ireland can be in a range of:
+363 86 8033333 to +353 1 55555 so perhaps the Irish will be stuck with a HTC phone that will only recognise a handful of phone numbers.
I tried the CallerID with 12 and lower already. I might have to go right back to the basics on this one and start with one phone number.
I've read in other threads that people had to do a hard reset, have some numbers on their sim and then allow the wizard to copy those numbers across. You can then add the full set of numbers.
Thanks for your calculations. I'll give it one more shot before I do a hard reset. If only HTC would roll out WM6.5 so I can try that first. I'm a little put off by the manual upgrades.
Regards,
Geoff

I am having this problem after installing a Translation software in my device, where it automatically installed other languages.... i tried un installing it, but the problem persist, i have to hard rest i think !!

[Q] Changing the date layout

At home screen, under the weather panel, as you know there's date. It looks as "Mon, Jan 3" , but I want it to look like "Monday, Jan(or full name January) 3 2011" . There's a tweak option in Advanced Config program, but it doesn't work (there are some different layouts in a drop down menu and a "change" button right beside it, you can choose the layout but change button is inactive). So, I think I expressed my request throughly, is it possible to do this? How?

What values do you have under:
HKLM\\nls\overrides\SLDte
HKLM\\nls\overrides\SSDte

Thanks mate, you're the only one who rushes to help me all the time. Before placing this topic, I found something about changing the date format (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5713475&postcount=9) , and applied them but nothing changed, it was about changing the values under the ones you mentioned. Now, answers to your question,
SLDte value = dd MMMM yyyy dddd (actually this wasn't the default one, it's the format I'd like)
SSDte value = dd / MMMM / yyyy dddd (same like above again, not the default one)

Try this:
HKLM\\nls\overrides\SLDte
dddd, dd MMMM yyyy

No, it didn't work. Still same format.

Normally, you can not change this format using the registry. At least, in WWE versions. It is most likely preset somewhere in binary files. In addition, using of customized date formats for SSDte or SLDte values may cause problems with HTC Calendar items (appointments, tasks and so on) as HTC Calendar only accepts particular formats. However, if you use localized version of Windows Mobile there may be more opportunities to tweak the phone's interface. I have seen some threads on the xda-developers site containing some tips and tricks on this topic.

Yes Janissl, you're right. Yesterday, after I made some change in SSD and SLD, I realized that SMS's dates began to look weird. So I changed it back to it's default value, now SMSs are normal. And I decided not to tweak this kinda registry things, since it could cause to force a hard reset.

Maybe you can do it safer by using ACT:

I already tried that at first hand, it had an extra settings as More Settings at menü, and there TouchFLO 3D settings. It looks like, you could do this date format there, but as I mentioned at my very first message, the "Change" button is unusable.
