HTC HOME - day of the week

how do we get the day of the week to show on the htc home screen?
I use to ba able to do it with pimp my black on the 8525 by adding "dddd" in front.

anyone know the registry for this function

Agreed - This would be handy!!

I haven't found anything in the registry for this, the date displayed in the HTC Home Plugin appears to be hardcoded to use the "short date" formating.

HKLM/nls/overrides/SSDte
add ",ddd" at the end of the string.

Universal owner with Homeplug...
Hi,
I don't have a Kaiser but I'm running the homeplug on a Universal and I'd just like to know what the string is before the ",ddd" in your registry . For some reason it doesn't recognise dd/mm/yy it just displays the day 05/mm/07, Mon.
Thanks.
Edit : Don't worry figured it out it has to be dd/MM/yy or dd/MM/yyyy then space or , "ddd" (3 letter day) or can be "dddd" (Full day name)

For short day and month as shown here:
HKLM/nls/overrides/
Change SLDte and SSDte to: ddd, MMM dd, yyyy

Maybe it's too early but I have no keys in \HKLM\nls\overrides\
would manually creating the keys work? what are the values/names etc. if so?
Thanks - this is exactly what I've been looking for if it works!
EDIT: Using AT&T Tilt

Go into your Regional settings and change the date format, it will create those registry keys for you to edit afterwards.

Manually creating the keys works:
\HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDte (Format: string) Value: dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
and
\HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte (Format: string) Value: dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
(or choose the type of date you want)

i removed the ", yyyy" as i think the year is not necessary and it was messing up my call history.
the part that shows the date of the call was too long and was cutting off the name/number of the caller. removing the year shortens it a bit and minimizes the problem.
thanks again for this tweak!

I found using SSDt2 as "ddd, M/d/yy" is a good compromise and only interferes with call hsitory when the caller's name is very long.

I try manually enter the key...didnt work.
I made a new key (sub-directory) called "SSDt2"...Name: "Format: string"...Data: "ddd, M/d/yy
I am using PHM

Works great on TC
Thanks this works perfect on my Touch Cruise, there was so much information on the HTC home screen, except day!! This solved it.

Any ideas how to fix the problems?

Hi, not sure if anyone having similar problems or not.
Problem 1: I live in Sydney, I've set the time to GMT+10 Sydney, after a while, the phone automatically change the time setting to GMT+10 Vladivostok. Any idea how to fix this minor problem?
Problem 2: When I put my phone to stand-by mode (eg. after a while the phone's screen is off or phone automatically lock up), when some one send the sms to my phone, the phone does not play the warning sound for incoming message, until I turn on screen than the phone play the incoming sms sound.
Problem 3: Weather--- I've download the update for weather for the whole week. For example, on Monday night I've downloaded the weather, the screen showing the weather at night (for Monday), than On tuesday morning, the weather screen does not update to Tuesday's weather, it just stay for monday night's weather screen. Does Dimond automatic update the weather for each day base from the data which already downlaoded?
Thanks for you help!

ohh guys... how come no one can answer my problems??

1. happened to me also. i don't care if it is jerusalem+ or beirut+2. do you really care? for a possible solution see also post # 11.
2. somewhere in the forum there is a tweak (or a registry edit?) for this. i think there are ROMs with this bug solved.
3. you can choose to have the weather update manually or automatically.
weather/menu/settings/download weather automatically (thick for auto).
there not such thing like downloading the weather Monday for the whole week...the weather is changing (like when they said tomorrow-rain and you walk all next day feeling ridiculous with yr umbrella and the sun is shining ).
if it is important for you live it on manual and each time you sync with yr pc download the weather. is cheap and fast and daily.

is a registry key. use a register editor. do a search.

I'm using Swifts 5.5 ROM and I have had mine change from Hobart to Vladivostok as well.

and if u are changing it back? stays? try usin the visiting time. maybe this one does not have the bug? (if it is a bug).
also you can try:
settings/personal/phone/time zones-check or uncheck the "automatic change time zone and clock".
don't forget to come back and tell us the results!!

If you ask me, it's a bit stupid that it changes the time zone constantly when you select to sync the time. By the looks of it, it always changes the time zone to the last item in that zone (Ulaanbaatar is the last item in +8).

Only way I have found to fix this is to go the Phone Settings area, Then Time Zones and turn off "Automatic change time zone and clock" . I had this same issue with my TyTnII and now my Diamond. My guess is the Telco Networks transmit the time as raw UTC along with an offset, but without a location stamp. Something like "it is currently 0230UTC and this location is GMT+10". It is then up to the WM6.x to go into its list of timezomes and I bet it just grabs the first in its list that is +10, so Vladivostok. Buggers up summertime offsets too.
Good news is if you leave this turned off the time will still get updated when you activsync by way of HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Clock\NetworkTimeSync.
Just that it wont automtically change when you move time zones for example.

I've set mine to off, I'll report back in a few days, sounds like it will be fine looking at previous post by Logger.

what I mean was you know when you hook up to the net and downloaded the update for the weather, the phone will update for the whole week's data. As soon as the update is done, the phone will show you the weather of the same day (the date you updated e.g. Monday), but the following day (Tuesday), the weather still showing Monday's weather and doesn't change the date Tuesday, but I know the weather for tueday was also downloaded (yeah I know the weather maybe is not up-to-date since was downloaded on Monday).

Reject phone call via accelorometer?

Hi,
I could have sworn I saw somewhere a progam that allowed you to reject a phone call (silence the ringer temporarily) by simply flipping the phone over. So if its sitting on the table face up while you're having supper and the phone rings all you have to do is flip it over face down. I thought this sounded neat but for some reason didnt download it when I saw it. I've been searching for a week and somenow. Does anyone know what it's called? I can see this being really handy if it works with the alarms on the phone as well as I use my phone as a secondary alarm clock.
Thanks guys,

Hmmmm I have this I downloaded it so I could get tomtom to go into portrait mode when it was running. I didn't realize that it was able to do that though.
How abouts do I go about doing that?
Hmm okay I see it in there and tried calling the phone numberous times and flipping it over and the phone continued to ring.

You do not need to download anything. It's a feature of the phone but you need to do a reg edit perhaps. Let me look at my phone....
HKEY_Local_machine/Software/HTC/HTCsensor/gsensor = 0
Also:
HKEY_Local_machine/Software/HTC/phone/facedownmutering = 0
Many say to set it to 1 but mine is working and it is set to 0.
Hope this helps,

hey, mine seems to be lacking the gsensor = 0, the second one is present. i looked thru and it says default string (value not set). i wonder is this line the same for you? or is this where the gsensor is set to 0.

Just download DiamondTweak and then Setting 1.4 enable it.

Text message unlocks phone

When i receive a text message my diamond unlocks automatically? Is there any way to avoid this? Can get expensive if i don't hear the text message and the phone in my pocket calls somewhere or something...
Using latest Dutty 3.6b i think it is..
Any help is appressiated

Advanced config solved it

Which config option did you use?

yeah ive noticed this!!!! how did you solve? im on same rom and use S2U2

yeah, i'd like to know the option too. mine used to light up so i could see the summary of the message for a few seconds. now it doesn't. it could be the same option.

To disable/enable wakeup use this advanced config option: Messaging/Wake up on new SMS.
Diamond TF3D config also can change this.

You can use any registry editor;
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
Change value to "0"

I dont have that registry on my rom..?

Seems 3.2 has it.

Odd
I think it's odd to remove this option when updating you're program/utility. Well i'll just change it in registry then.
Thanks for your help!

Can not get phone to NOT wake up when text comes in
I have tried a number of different things to try to STOP the screen from waking up on a new text message. I have tried everything except the older version 3.2.. of the advanced config utility. I have a Sprint version of the diamond. The Disablesmswakeupevent does not work on my system. It does not show up in the registry and when I create it, it still does nothing. This seems like such a silly thing to not have the option of adjusting in the oem configuration. The Pro has it, why not the non-pro version.
Many thanks for anyone that has a suggestion on how to get this screen to STAY OFF when a text comes in. Perhaps even a lock on incoming text that will be unlocked by the light sensor.

Wrong Text Timestamps

I'm just wondering why all my text messages that I receive have a wrong timestamp when they show up in my phone. I've tried looking for options in settings, but haven't found anything.
I am currently running MightyRom.
TIA,
Bernie

Use this cab to fix your problem.

Looking at the file called _setup, I guess I could just manually edit the registry?
But thanks for the quick reply. Is this a fault in the phone itself, or is it a bug in my MightyRom firmware?
EDIT: I just went inside the registry, and the value for TrustTimeZoneField is already 0. :S

I use this cab to fix the time stamp so far for mostly all cooked ROM's. Didn't used to have to do this until the 2.03 cooked ROMs came through.
Did you fix this using Reg Edit?

From my understanding of what the program does, it just changes TrustTimeZoneField to 0. However, the integer on my phone is already set to 0 according to the registry editor.
Do I actually have to install the .cab file onto my Diamond?

Yes....for me it works all the time. Don't worry, it doesn't ask for location, it's a quick install and that is it.

I installed it and it still doesn't work. All the texts are timestamped as 7 hours ahead, haha.

If you are afraid of trying the cab then get Regedit app and find and change the following..
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\
Find "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a dword value of 0
