Hi everyone,
Im new to the forums. I recently purchased an ATT Tilt about 3 weeks ago, and I am trying to customize some of the settings.
New problem: I am having trouble with the HTC Home Plugin now. It works fine except for the scroll at the bottom. Whenever I scroll down, it pops back up to the top. Any suggestions?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have already noticed how nice most of the members are.
Thanks!
Daniel
I suggest that your spend a few hours reading through the WIKIs and forums here. The Hermes is very similar to the Tilt in most respects, so take a gander at that WIKI too. You'll learn a lot. I still do after a year or so here.
CAB files are what you use to install programs on WM. They are synonomous to a setup.exe file in windows.
Ok great...I figured out how to install both of the programs, but I am having trouble with the HTC Home Plugin now. It works fine except for the scroll at the bottom. Whenever I scroll down, it pops back up to the top. Any suggestions?
Thanks

I saw something about that here in this forum recently, but don't remember exactly what it was. Do a search for it. (try the google version of the search... it's a lot better than the default search here.)
Tried searching...couldnt find it...I checked the WIKI too...theres not much info for the Tilt in there or my problem.

Show more dates on the tf3d home screen

Does anyone know how you can make the Touch Diamond show more calendar dates on the tf3d home screen as it only shows one entry from the diary at the moment
Oh joy! Finally someone is asking this question
I'm asking too..
any ideas ?
Perhaps we should ask the mods to create a new sub-forum dedicated to posts asking for tasks and/or more calendar items in TF3D? There's certainly enough traffic to justify it!
Asked the same question .........but I also appreciate all the work being put into making our diamonds run better by others.........so when there is a solution, and please can an expert look at this.. I and all others will be very appreciative.
many thanks
This is an outlook mobile thing, happens on every phone. THere are calendar apps that display more items if you wish, i just don't know if they are diamond ready yet. calendar+ is an example

Yeah i know, but since the the diamond displays already the next meeting in the calendar maybe there is p a place in the reg. to increase it to a few more ?
I use 2nd today and map it to the left softkey of the TF3D home page.
Then on 2nd Today, I use o2 plus plugin that displays all my events neatly.
Now I can switch between them seamlessly
I'm at work now, so I can post screenshots.. will do so later.
Cheers
Hi,
this is wat i did. I installed "Second Today" and I changed my left softkey to "Secondd Today" where I got PocketBreeze. My right softkey gets me too Pocket Informant.
I also changed my phone touch (left bottom) with pouch and hold it gets me too secondtoday. When I close my PocketBreeze I go back to my homescreen .
Lambert
Sorry "second today" "installed", could you explain to a newbie-ish and frustrated calendar user, please?

Nothing new in the new official HTC ROM???

Everything is quiet like the grave... I haven't heard or read a single word if there is anything new in this rom except the tiny bug fixes announced by HTC...
Anybody who already upgraded, have you noticed something new???
Hey
Apart from the official line heres what ive noticed (in twelve hours)
1. Sliding Bar answer on incoming calls
2. Text input keys are smaller so that you can actually see whats on the screen when youre writing (sic)
3. Ever so slight speed improvement on finger sliding
4. Video Call re-replaced with contacts (life saver)
5. Might just be me but the fonts seem sharper and slightly smaller.
6. Add a word in text messaging for example now gives a tick and a cross instead of "add"
Just random little things Ive noticed but as they say, its the little things that count eh!
no more flipping envelope when going to mail it's just there...
and some speed improvements, but in winmo only (not touchflo).
hey just a couple more
7. When connecting to PC via USB you get a 3rd choice - internet sharing (as well as active sync and disk drive)
8. HTC flo text message section now has a forward option as well as reply and delete - no need to view all messages to forward
ill keep you posted (or not if no one is interested)
Thanks for the replies
I feel like the Sliding Bar on answering calls helped me decide to upgrade, even though I'll loose the flipping envelopes
Sliding Bar is good
Ability to forward text message from Touch flo is good
The rest are the icing on the cake!!!
Good luck - I had a bit of a scare with my upgrade last night - it stopped on 60% and told me the image file was corrupt. Worked second time though from the same file???
First bug: if you have activated a security PIN (like me) you can't block the phone keeping pressed the phone down button. The screen goes black for a fraction of second but the phone doesn't block.
Another thing I didn't notice before (so I'm not sure if it was the same in previous versions): you can add only 15 persons to your favorite contacts (the "Add to Favorites" buttons just disappears). BTW, is there any tweak to increase this limit?
its always been 15
I use speed dials - easier and possibly limited to 100 (not sure)
The favourites has always annoyed me - you cant seem to change the order in which they appear and they look boring without a picture (IMO)!
There's also a new Java engine, better than the old one. At least better for Opera Mini 4.2, fonts are now bigger and easier to read.
A recommended update.

My envelopes are flipping fine.... just as they always have!
And for anyone's who's interested; if you've been using any of the cooked ROM's which have been released recently, you won't notice any difference with this official release because the ROM cookers have been using v2.03 for weeks!
9. Agenda from home screen works correct now. Choose the view u'd like to see, (day, week, month whatever) and it will open up correctly right now, when opening Agenda from home screen.
10. When u select agenda or calls on the home screen, it will be selected by green. When u finished looking agenda or calls, and return to the home screen, the green selected option is gone, a clear screen with no green. (before the thing was always green when u turned back, it frustrated me )
Just 2 things i recognized!
I saw it at Singapore web site http://www.htc.com/sea/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=483&news_id=44

They do indeed, but thanks to Facebook I have pictures for all of my favorite friends...
I'll give a look to speed dial too
with this new rom, i have a problem:
when i receive a message and open it with tf3d i can't type prompt.
i have to move down the text to see the last message and then i have to put the cursor on the correct place.
Its a rom update but is it aswell a radio update?

Noobie question,
As The HTC website won't accept my Orange UK Diamond S/N, would it be okay to download from another source, or do I have to wait until Orange to approve the newer ROM, and publish on their website confused
many thanks

As far I now Orange use a own brand rom and when you start using a other rom you will lose your waranty, ofcoarse you can get a other rom just ask someone here to upload it, but you can use than aswell a coocked rom.

Yeah, correct. Orange will distribute their own ROM's.
11. AKU version has been updated to allow synchronisation to two PC's (fixing the Activesync error 0x86000107).
Hey
A little bug that I found last night - I installed nadavvi-nadavvi-call-history cab - which installs an extra call history tab to the touchflo menu
Afterwards everytime i tried to access sms through touchflo i kept getting unexpected errors in manila.exe.
As soon as i uninstalled the call history tab sms started working again. Shame as i had this installed with the older rom with no probs and it is quite handy.
I've decided to do the upgrade tonight but I have a question:
All my apps are installed in the 4GB Internal Storage (Not the phone memory). Will the Internal Storage be viped out aswell during the upgrade?
If not, I guess all apps will be useless anyway since the registry is viped. Do you recommend uninstalling all the apps before the rom upgrade???

Total newbie- problems downloading apps, customizing today screen

Hi everyone,
I could use some help from the experienced TYTN owners out there:
I just purchased a used HTC TYTN II (my first pocket PC). The person who owned it previously downloaded the Ulitmate X.V4 ROM and Manila 2d into the phone already (took me a while to figure out what the "xda-developers" screen was that popped up every time I turned on my phone!).
1st problem- tried to simply customize my today screen by selecting items to be displayed in the 'settings>personal>today' tab. I check off the items I want as per the operation manual (i.e. tasks, appointments) but after clicking 'ok' nothing has changed on the today screen. When I go back into the settings, what I checked is no longer checked. Frustrating!!
So then I thought maybe this problem would be solved by adding a customization program. Downloaded the Manila customizer and a theme off this site (as a newbie, learned to download cabs by trial and error- couldn't find any clear cut beginner instructions on the internet on how to do this- so who knows if I've done it right). Loaded the theme this didn't help me customize what's on the today screen nor did the background change (only the title bars and menus changed)- no idea why or how to fix this.
I also tried to download the HTC home plugin, HHC customizer and appearances files. Managed to successfully download the customizer and appearances but the app won't run because I don't have the HTC home plugin and this file won't download. Every time I try I get the message: "installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions." What does this mean??
Basically, all I want is a today screen that is customized to show my appointments, tasks along with the clock, calls, etc. And a nice theme would be great. Why can't I do this?! If anyone has suggestions or some links to beginner information that would be awesome.
I would also like to be able to download apps and run them... I have a TomTom GPS moblie disk but considering I can't even display my appointments on my phone, getting this to work will be mission impossible! Again, anything that will point me in the right direction would be much appreciated!
Jenn
u need to unload your manila in order for you to show all those today menu
OMG thank you so much- it's all good now. I sadly would not have figured out such a simple thing and unfortunately I could not find anything on the internet that would explain this. The guy who had the phone before me obviously knew what he was doing and downloaded all kinds of stuff, which is great... but then it made the official manual useless while learning the phone!!
I have my tasks/appts on the today screen like I wanted but I'm sad that I don't have the "actions" tab with touchflo anymore

Can't get to texts or Emails

Hello all, I've been reading on these forums for a long time, but this is my first post as I was not able to find a solution while searching. This is what I have,
AT&T Tilt
With Windows Mobile 6.1 Flashed (DuTTy ROM, can't remember which one exactly now, Hybrid something I think)
I also had the TouchFLO 2D (Manilla) Home Screen, but recently switched back to the HTC Home screen thinking that that may have been the cause which didn't help)
I believe my phone gets the texts messages and the emails, because my phone notifys me with a buzz when I do, and I notice that the number of emails/texts changes. But, on the TouchFLO 2d, it says "No Messages" for each, and on the HTC home screen, it has the number for each, but when I click on them, it does nothing. I've tried clicking start -> Messages, and still does nothing.
A few other programs I have which may interfere, Slide 2 Unlock 2, and Pocket CM.
The Manilla 2D is version 21 or 22, can't exactly remember right now.
Any tips or hints are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Also, I've tried power cycling, removing the battery for a while. Removing the SIM, and power cycle. And reinserting the SIM. Still nothing.
I know that if you search you will find. but i have had this same problem and have searched and could not find a solution for awhile. but like others say google is your friend. here was what i now do when this happens to me i use a program called advanced task manager and under processes i find TMAIL.EXE and end its processes and now i can go into my messages and email. i suggest to try that.
Ok Everyone.. when someone needs help.. most of them have searched and can;t find the answer.. that is why they are asking for help.... Telling them to go look some more when they most likely have is sort of elitist and rude... I have had problems before where I almost hard reset my phone, when there were simple fixes out there....
I had a very simmilar problem, and after doing a lot of research myself, I found this was my problem.. I was storing my attachments and messages on the storage card to save room... There is a file/folder in the root directory of the storage card called INBOX.mstXXXXXX where the X's are numbers... Just erase that folder... and reboot the phone... The forum where I found it also reccomended that I turn off the option to store the files on the SD card, but I am still doing it anyways... When I erase the folder it corrects the problem immediately.. and if my TXT stops working again... it is easy enough to fix.. The only problem is the messages you are getting now while it is not working will not be there when it is fixed.. but all your previous ones will be... I hope this helps!

Thanks for you help!! Hinted by Teej's suggestion, I didn't go as far as deleting the directory, but I just ejected my MicroSD and put it back in and that worked! Thank you so much for your help, and thanks for the quick responses everyone.
