Strange behavior - w/o any reason the wireless today setting disappeared in my "today list of programs"
Usually it lives in the list (second picture) but it's gone.
In addition SPB mobile shell doesn't give me anymore the option to link to ANY program just the limited list shown in the third picture.
Any idea/ what hack to the registry could be applied to get it back?
kaiser tweak-> today screen -> wireless today
if that doesnt work :| idk
there are issues with wm devices having too many today items on the list some simply dont display removing some items by uninstall or editing the reg
kaiser tweak-> today screen -> wireless today

THUMBS UP!!
Though I didn't change anything in the tweaks it disappeared but NOW I know how to get it back, though it doesn't appear in the today's list...
What would be the regedit hack couldn't find an entry "today" ...
Thanks YOU ROCK
What does the wireless today display?
For me:
a.) The quickest jump to the comm mgr
b.) Shows status of all connections and BT
It's more or less a personal preference like almost everything with a device.
You can either do it as in the first pic displayed directly or one tap away (pic 2 and 3)
I do not like scrollbars on my Today screen so I rather opt. for one tap to get the info/options I want.
Sorry for the blast of pictures but that explains it perhaps best.
Ok, throughout the day I noticed that the Media Net (EDGE) starts up (two little E's at the top of the tilt displaying) for several min. When I tap the E, it shows "Media Net (EDGE)" connected. Sometimes it stays connected for 15 to 45mins, other times just a few min. When I go to task manager, it does not show anything running. I do not have anything updating, the only two programs I have I update manually which is SBSH weather and a POP email account. How can I tell what it is looking for or what data it is transferring etc.. Why is it connecting?
So with this, how can I figure whats going on and how do I fix it, or this normal.
I do have KasierTweak, is there something in there I can adjust?
Thanks
and yes did a search, I guess I could not find the proper wording to get the right result's

try fdcsoft task manager and try to look on the processes that are runing in the background
I have MemMaid, I will check running programs when it kicks on again then post them?

?? I have used mamaid long time ago, so I dont know.
Its most likely the updates(weather).
But I dont know what u want now, do u want to stop it?
Edit: are u sure u have the auto updates turned off?(in weather)
could u post all installed apps?
Ok, all my weather updates are turned off.
Memaid will show all programs running and running processes.
Which one should I look under when the Media Net kicks on?
Question what will I'll be looking for, what specific program or what will Media Net (EDGE) look like. Will it say Media Net or something?
Like for instance, right now they have 14 processes running
all .exe processes

No, it won't appear there. When it connects on its own look at the running processes and try to guess if you can find one that might require net access.
Another hint, you say you have a POP e-mail account set up. Check that it isn't defined to check for mail automatically each X minutes. If I remember well this can get enabled by default when you add an account.
Ok, this is what is showing in the "running processes" before the mediaNet kicks on. I have not been able to catch it yet while running. Anything in here looks suspicious that should not be there?
device.exe 2.75mb
cprog.exe 2.63mb

I've never seen "Transport.exe". A quick search tells me about some Arcsoft program. Maybe it's checking for updates?
As Mikulec asked, a list of the programs you've installed could help... we don't know about all the programs out there...
The programs I have installed;
Kaisertweak
HTC Home plugin
Live Search
Opera
HHC Customize
ILauncher
Pocketweather
HTC Diamond Qwerly
Battery Status
Memaid
Finger Friendly Friends
Again guys thanks for your time and help.
MediaNet just kicked on and I went to running processes and I did not see anything different than what I listed above. Will check again though to be sure.

this is probably the culprit for your dilemma unless you are accidentally selecting the weather tab on htc home
ok guys went through a rechecked all my settings, I did check the HTC home screen weather to make sure it was on manual update (i do not use the weather program) also made sure that all my auto settings on pocketweather is turn off. I did make one other adjustment though, will see if this helped.
Funny thing is that when MediaNet kicks on, it doesn't appear to effect my battery.
Again, thanks for the replies. Will advise the outcome.
So, I have the default ROM, the only thing I've ever really done on my phone is remove bloatware and instal HTC Home to give my today screen a fresher look. I heard that when you update to Windows 6.1 that the start menu should now appear on the bottom rather than the top left. I'm running 6.1 now and the button has not moved.
Also, my friend has a WinMo phone, on his phone using IE he can go to this website: http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/dfttsmobilesdk.php and use the text box to enter words and have it synthesized into a sound file that is played through the media player. On my device the text box and drop down buttons never get rendered. His phone has nothing modified to it, at all. So I'm not sure what my phone is missing that his has...
Also, random... even though I don't use the default today screen, I did notice something odd. The top bar that list the date also listed the time. How could I get the phone to just show the date? Or is that just somthing the HTC Today cab did in order to let it function properly?
Thanks!
Edit: As of my last post, I discovered that the text to speech site will render correctly IF I'm connected to my computer via USB/Active Sync. But if I take out the USB and exit out of IE then try to load that site, I again find it never loads correctly.

You can change this with KaiserTweak or PocketToolman.
I forget what website it was, but it listed that MS moved the start button to the bottom. I'll look into the tweak software to edit stuff further.
Now for the issue with IE. Is it missing some sort of Java plugin?
Hmm update.
I've discovered that the only way I can get this site to correctly render is when the phone is connected to my computer through Active Sync.
But when I remove it, close IE and reload it that page no longer renders....
So I hope that helps someone figure out why it's not working when disconnected from USB.
So does this mean theres some setting that I'm overlooking?
is there a way that i can see the uptime of my Tytn2?
it looks like my tytn2 is (soft)resetting itself.
i had a few times now that i had to enter my PIN again. So when it happens again i want to look at the uptime.
Does anybody know if this is possible, ether by installing software or by default in Windows Mobile(6.1).
after some more searching i desided to look for a program to display uptime, pitty that windows mobile doesnt have it itself.
I tried 2 programms now, but they both are not giving the correct time after some time.
Till now i tried uptime meter and myuptime.
If anybody knows one that works correct with WM6.1!?
I used this for a long time: http://ae.inc.ru/uptime.php
AEBplus also has a "status" screen that will display it: http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php

I'll check this out too, I'm always curious how long the phone has been up myself. No negative effects from this program I assume?
I wrote a MortScript to record bootup time at startup, but never got around to writing something to then compare current time to the last recorded time to get uptime.

Never seen any... I've been using the Uptime plugin since my Wizard days about 3 years ago. Now that I use AEBPlus for my hardware key shortcuts I removed the plugin as it was redundant.
I find the "uptime since last full charge" even more interesting... and it has helped me troubleshoot problems with programs running in the background several times. Look at uptime, put phone in standby, wait 5mins, turn on and check again - uptime should not have changed, or at least a lot less. If it has, some program is preventing the phone from standing by...
At some point I found out S2U2 would cause the phone to log about 2 hours of uptime overnight, at least I could understand why my battery life had gone down and got rid of it...

Never used AEBPlus, does that allow you to "pop up" Today plugins at the press of a key? I discovered when I tried to install the program today, it doesn't show up in SPB Pocket Plus, and I have no room on my today screen outside of it. I could maybe do SecondToday, but that seems like a lot for this.. Oh well.

AEBPlus runs as a program in the background with program setup in start menu\programs, the program allows you to allocate up to 4 programs and functions like up time, backlight etc to hardware buttons, so you can map any program in start menu.
Just an eg as i have set:
Hardware key
Start:
single press: start menu
double press: Total Commander
tripple press: Task Manager
Longpress: Backlight
Internet:
Opera Mini
Opera Mobile
Skyfire
Uptime
Messaging:
Messaging
Mobilepad
galarm
Touch Calendar
OK:
Ok/Close
Wi-Fi
BT on long
PTT:
Taskfacade
Nodata
Sat Nav on long
So i hardly ever have to go anywhere near the Start\Programs group as anything else like Media is Start Menu.
All in all makes phone very user friendly

wth, HOW did I miss this program. I used to do exactly this in PalmOS, I think I could triple-load each key, but this you can do four actions per key. Now my problem will be forgetting which is which!
And what's funny is after I got finished setting all the overloaded applications on the buttons, I then realized "oh, this was to get uptime, where is that?" and finally added it to a button too.
Thanks!

Glad you like & got it tweaked, makes me wonder why M$ doesn't make things user friendly in the first place? "we all know the answer to that"
Know what you mean about forgetting, everything has become second nature to me now "mind u found it a test of mem writing it down"
Oh yeah in the install directory is a .cfg file back it up somewhere so if you ever flash again or have to hard-reset you don't have to set everything up again
Read first
little advice for those of you, like me, who like to download and install before reading. do not install the free version of aebplus on your kaiser, program won't work, and you will have to do hard reset to bring back some of your hardware buttons.
You need to use the current version (2.6.6), and simply leave it unregistered. I don't really know why he leaves that 4-year old 1.0.1 version available.
excellent, it works great, thanks.
AE Button Plus is nice, but it just causes problems for me. It's entirely possible that it's a combination of the other programs installed, but I'm having a few issues
Sometimes buttons are being completely ignored, or very slow to respond.
StyleTap doesn't receive remapped button presses at all
Scrolling with the volume button seems to randomly lock up the PPC requiring me to pull the battery (soft reset won't do)
Soft resets in general are very finicky, having to do them multiple times for the phone to finish booting
All of which went away after I uninstalled. Oh well... Maybe there's some alternative program. For now, I'm back to using the Buttons function in SPB Plus which allows me to add "Hold" to each button.

Strange i imagine it is something else that is affecting AEButton Plus, i'm running M2D the only issue did have was with regards to OK button, wanted to map long press to Wi-fi and double to BT for convienience, but found that Wi-Fi would be very much a pop shot on load but double press and all fine.
(nothing against aebuttonplus here.. but u do have to register it, and its meant to handle button assignments) lets bring this thread back on topic shall we. showing device uptime.
I wrote a mortscript that shows you the current uptime... it does exactly what your looking for without having to install a whole program to do it (assuming you have mortscript installed already)
the link is in my sig. -cope
This thread is for discussion among those of us TD2 users who have dumped, or might dump, TF3D in favour of either another Today screen replacement or the stock WinMo 6.1 Today screen.
Thus far I'm finding the TD2 a hell of a lot more usable without TF3D. Little things like being able to use a lock password with a 15 minute delay, getting auto-Capitalization when writing texts are good, along with a much faster phone, much less memory usage and....it even seems I'm getting better battery life.
Most of the bugs people are reporting are actually TF3D issues which are resolved by ditching TF3D.
So has anyone else taken the plunge and gone back to the standard WinMo6.1?
I used to installed Ultimate Launch then Spb Mobile Shell in my original Diamond. Now I am using TF3D in my Diamond2. I wish Mobile Shell 3 may upload a more bug free version for the new device such as HD and Diamond2 and I may switch back to Mobile Shell. Perhaps WM6.5 release may change my plan and look forward to what HTC still put their manila on top of those WM6.5 device.
As I said, the thread is for people who are NOT using TF3D.
Personally I think WM6.5 will render TF3D completely redundant by handling the one thing it's good at - gloss.
Another thing I've noticed about not using TF3D is that the phone's response to tilting it to landscape and back is a lot faster.
My case as well: I've got the feeling that TF3D is more like a heavy bag.
As soon as I deactivated, the phone became easier to be handled and plus, presenting extra memory/battery resources as well.
However, a Launcher is very much needed, since neither the TF3D, nor the WM's Today screen don't offer the possibility to get to your action choice with only one button-tap.
Is there a good free launcher which can do that?
cheers!
I'm finding judicious use of which apps you put into the Start Menu helps a lot - the apps I use on a daily basis are all there, others I can get to via their presence on the Today screen, such as Tomtom.
The start menu seems to appear quicker than the TF3D one does as well.
Another thing I'm liking is the Today plugin for the RSS reader - TF3D2 didn't seem to handle RSS alerts well, when you acknowledged them it didn't take you into the RSS reader.
Best of all though is the fact I can now password protect my phone properly and delay it for 15 mins so I'm not badgered for the password all the time.
I'm finding that I don't need the stylus much either, despite the smaller menus and so on.
I just can't get over the extended battery life and improved memory usage though!
Without TF3D and three apps running (calendar, contacts and file explorer) my memory is loaded only 38%.
With TF3D it never went under 50%.
As for the battery, I can only say that it seems that lasts longer, but I didn't really seriously monitor it.
I was using PointUI Home2 free version on my Diamond, it's great. Less memory usage, and huge customisability. I had 5 "tabs" with the homescreen (see attachment) calendar & tasks, comms, stock, and weather. Worked great.
The default Home2 theme is a little mucky, but there is a huge range of alternative themes. I made a nice black one that suits the diamond.
If I get rid of TF3D then
- can I alter by normal threaded SMS for to show more than 1 line that I have typed in my new reply (like TF3D does)?
- can I still create push internet sites without TF3D?
- will the hardware button for program files still work? Will this take me to the same screen?
Can I exit TF3D without disabeling it just to check out how things look?
I have disabled and tweaked so much of TF3D that I am also thinking that it is going to be off my device with the 6.5 ROM anyway .... why not do it now.

Assuming you mean the flag button, yes it still brings up the Start Menu, but you'll get the normal WM6.1 one, which contains your most recently used apps, your seven favourite apps you've selected to appear on the menu, a shortcut to Settings and a shortcut to all your Programs.

Just go into All Settings, Personal, Today and uncheck the TF3D box to turn TF3D off. Give it a few days of usage before you make your mind up. Don't forget to turn on and customize the other Today screen plugins to get the full experience.

My thoughts entirely. In a couple of months' time TF3D will be completely redundant anyway.
Incidentally, I've started getting right into Today screen plugins...TodayAgenda is frankly the best app on my phone. I use the Todo (Tasks) app more than any other app on my phone. TodayAgenda allows you to have your task list (with only the active tasks showing, huzzah!) right there on your today screen, so you don't even need to unlock your phone to see what you need to do next! And you can complete tasks and create new ones right there on the Today screen. It's awesome and I can see this becoming my new most-used widget.
Just this one plugin renders TF3D utterly redundant as far as I'm concerned!
The RSS reader has a plugin too, which is really useful.
Does anyone else have good suggestions for really useful Today plugins? I tried PointUI Home2 but that's more of a replacement than a plugin.
Hi Jim,
By TodayAgenda you mean the calendar inputs shown in the Today screen?
If this is so, I'm a little disapointed because it shows only the next one, not the next week ones, let's say...
Is there a way to have more than one event listed?
thanks

No I'm talking about TodayAgenda - it's a plugin, you have to download and install it. It lets you look as far ahead as you like and does both Todos and Calendat entries (although I only use it for Todos).
Also, try WMP Status 1.0, it shows you on the today screen the artist, album, track and track number that you're currently playing in Media Player. Very useful as you don't need to unlock your phone to see what you're listening to!

Incidentally, if you go into Settings / Today and highlight CALENDAR, click OPTIONS, you can set it to show all upcoming appointments instead of just the next one.

No problem. Check out WMP Status 1.0 as well, it's really useful when you're listening to music!
Ok, since I droped TF3D, I also dropped the phone dialer skin, leaving the WM one, which is fine for me but apparently it has a bug:
it doesn't show me the calls&contacts, in its scroll-down field, even though there is some information present, because if I tap, it opens the call's details window.
In other words, it's like a list on which the items have the same font color like the list's background.
Did anybody experienced the same?
Is it possible that another dialer skin would change this behavior?
I put Phonealarm and today agenda straight on my phone and removed TF3D its just too restricting. I can get to everything i need with one click on the home screen none of this swishing fingers to get to stuff.
I really don't know what some of yoy are complaining about...
Not Capitalizing the first letter... NONSENS, when i write a SMS the first letter of a sentence is capitalized..
Memory consumption.......
Why do you think this device has so much ???? Because HTC wants you to run TF3D and still have more then enough memory free to run Whatever app......
I was sceptical at first too. But if you give it a chance you will see that once you have seen every screen (without a reboot) it's VERY fast, and very comfortable...
I am sure i will keep TF3D for a while !

I used to run 2 Today pages using Second Today.
Weather (SPB Traveller) , CLauncher and SPB Phone (can't beat the options here) on the 1st Today. SPB Diary full screen on the other (2nd) Today.
Custom links to Internet and GPS Navigation complete the productive config.
I travel for business. Calendar and Contacts and the most important.
TF3D Calendar can't make top 20 on market I would say. Contacts in TF3D are death by scrolling (by default). The new D2 Dialer is more productive for contacts than any of the TF3D contacts screens!
I agree that all these other UIs that don't allow Today plugins are missing the point. People want to pay for and use specialist programs where certain functionality is important to them.

With a WVGA screen, I really wish there were a work around to be able to place more than 7 apps in the start menu. Can't believe I've never found a hack for this.
Alternatively, I love to be able to route the start button to the All Programs folder but never been able to find this either. Two simple things that must not be easy or else we would have seen them before.
BTW, I unchecked TF3D within 24hrs (a month ago). I use SPB Mobile Shell for the shell. For the today screen (WM 6.1) I use Today Agenda, Google Search, Elecont Weather (paid) or WeatherBugDirect (free). I also run all my tasks and appointments from the traditional today screen via TodayAgenda.
