Hi Folks,
Firstly the standard disclaimer: "Apologies to all but I have searched existing threads (and RTFM) and can't find a definitive answer to this noob-type question"
So here's why I'm feeling stupid. I can't seem to find an option to stop the weather updating except when connected to a PC, short of going into settings and manually ticking the upper box whenever I plug in the USB and unticking afterwards!
Data costs a lot on my tarriff but I lik ethe weather, even if it only updates via AS.
Grateful for any advcie as always folks.
Adam.
Same problem here, it's one of the main reasons why I don't use Touchflo. Everytime I just click on the weather page an error dialog appears (can't connect... blabla). Very annoying!
it is not only a noob question, but the answer is so easy that you should be ashamed of yourself and spent some time just looking at your phone.
ever heard of a thing called menu?
it is on the lower right in the weather tab. press it, a menu comes up, choose settings and you are done.
or...... go to the store an get a nokia.

Phone = AT&T Tilt.
I found out about this site from Mobilitytoday this morning and have literally sat here all day playing with the incredible, free and wickedly cool things these people are nice enough to share.
I installed the "Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.Schaps.Color" and cannot figure a few things out:
1. The brightness fix doesn't work. I get, "Access denied..." when copying the "HTCUti1.dll" file to the WINDOWS dir.
2. Is there a better battery indicator than "powertray_489"? I was looking for something that came with the new home screen but couldn't find it.
3. I have the "Kaiser Comm Manager(10 Buttons)" comm. manager installed but the WLAN button doesn't work. It just won't turn on. I tried installing the other comm. managers but they wouldn't install.
4. Is there a way to change from Celsius to Fahrenheitfor the weather portion of the application?
5. When I slide my screen into landscape mode, there is no scroll available at the bottom to see the other items. When it is in vertical mode, the scroll is there. Odd because when I installed the “Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.720719.cab” (black and white version) the scroll was there?!
So there they are. This site is awesome and I’m addicted to it already! Any help would be deeply appreciated!
Here is a big hint for you start reading and use the search button! No one will spoon feed you here all your problems have been talked about a few times so they should be easy to find
However much I would like to help, austinsnyc already said what can not be disputed. Read, read, read... when you are finished, read some more.
Do not concentrate on just the Keiser area, read ALL threads. OS isn't phone specific all the time. A fix or tweak for one phone is good for alot of phones.
I'll give you one answer though...(the easy one of course)
When you choosed your city in the weather app, click menu options and there is a box to check for Farenheit.
Good luck
being a new user myself, i can say that the search function isn't very helpful. however, there is an option in the HTC Home plugin options under weather, where you enter your city, to change it to Fahrenheit. also, to fix the CommMgr there is a registry edit you have to do, you change whatever it says to like WLAN1 or something.
Did you try the search XDA using Google sticky post?
For conveniance here's a link:

Also this is not really what we think of as upgrading so I'm moving it to the Kaiser section.

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that posted a reply in here. I am trying, still having trouble finding the items but every search brings a new .cab installation to my phone!
Thanks Guys!
I happen to have the WLAn Registry fix bookmarked as I have to run it after every new ROM install. (Scroll down to find it)

Thanks for the handy link Mike. I'll put it to good use!
What cab is the Big Clock I see on e all the today screens called and where can I get it for my at&t tilt ??
You can try this: Its called HTC home plugin. if you have vga screen there is a thread for it here on this forum. Just search htc home vga
Thanks that was it
How does one edit what is shown.
I do not need all the extras
is there a way to back this out if you dont like the way it looks?
Dont mean to hijack the thread but I would like to know as well, I like the plug in but the clock is to big any way to make it smaller ?
thanks
God these newbies are relentless... You answer one question (one that could have been solved via search or more over just READING the thread with the pictures of the clock you like. Instead of just looking at the pictures) and you get several follow up posts that could be answered in the same fashion...
Its like answering them just enables their lazy attitude.
Enough rant.
UNINSTALL IT. If you don't know how to do that. READ YOUR MANUAL.
As for the other one, search. Hell, just click through some menus.
And the other, does not get smaller (that I know of) with advanced modification to the plug-in.
Later, Lew
P.S. That was a long over due rant.
Delete MY POST Please
Guys,
I agree...but also disagree...
Agree: newbies/noobs should always read before they ask, use google, use search, rtfm, etc.
Disagree: just ignore the stupid questions, and if you have time, answer them (with a hint to why it's stupid, they might...possibly...eventually...learn! )...
Last but not least: google/search for HHC (HTC Home Customizer), the best HTC Home editor (AFAIK) which allows you to change the font, buttons, etc.

Nika.
Hi,
I'm relatively new to flashing and trying different ROMs but with the help of this forum, I think im getting there.....slowly at least.
That was until I installed this application for the big clock on the today screen, im runnning a winodws mobile 6.1 ROM and just assumed (for some reason) this would work.
After installation of the big clock mod, my phone just keeps resetting its self, over and over.
I'm hoping that i can fix the problem by flashing a new ROM, however the phone wont stay on long enough for me to sync it then run the ROM utility.
Is there a way of putting the phone in boot loader then running the flash application from the computer?
Thanks
Hi Guys
Im a total Newbie to XDA's... Just got the XDA Ignito, within minutes of reading some post on this site I followed the instructions and flashed my ROM, what a difference! o2's Rom is sh*te!!
Anyway just having a few problems that may be so simple for you guys but yet so annoying for me.
1. Contacts are displayed "Surname, Firstname" how can I change my contacts to display "Firstname, Surname" ??
2. When on the net via Opera, and go on a video site like metacafe... the videos do not display? do I need to install any plug ins? the built in youtube works fine.
3. I have installed tomtom, but when I make a phone call, then end the call tomtom appears.... Ive tested a phone call without it to my ear and this doesnt happen, I can only think that my ear is pressing start and selecting tomtom from the quick launch at the top.... anyway to stop this? without holding away from my ear
Any advice is most appreciated
Many Thanks
Adam
1 - i would like to know where that option is too, most my contacts i have manually told to display like that.
2 - Opera / all the mobile browsers i think (inc IE and safari) dont have a flash pluggin. So any web based movie sites using some flash video player wont work. Thus reason for standalone uTube app
3 - is tomtom the only app which has got launched, seems a bit odd if it's selecting only that app from the start menu. My phone's display goes into standy during phone calls, so buttons dont seem to get pressed. Also using Sensorlock too.
to 1.: When you edit an Contact (Outlook) at the 6th Position, there must be a line "Save as" - when you click on it, a Pull-Down appears, where you can choose the other appearence with swapped Surname and forename.
1 - in each contact, there is a field 'File as' where you can select whether to display last. first, or first, last. There's no option that i know of to do all of them simultaneously.
2 - Spot on about the flashplugin. Although i believe that flashlite 3 is supposed to work with FLV vidoes, but don't quote me on that....i don;t even know if it's been released for winmo yet.
3 - this should only happen if you have TomTom running in the background instead of totally shut down. when you've finished with TomTom, make sure you close it properly.
Thanks for all your responses.
In regards to the file as, i was refering to all my contacts on my sim card. Surely there is an option somewhere to change the view of contacts...??
Found out how to shut tomtom down properly, will test it shortly.
Thanks
There's a faster way to rearrange your contacts...
Here you go.
NoWorthWhile
Thanks for that, but unfortunately it didnt work... i put it in the storage, then run it from programs... selected the way i wanted them displayed, clicked change.. looks like its going to do it then nothing happens.
Any ideas?
Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
Recently, my phone won't automatically retrieve my emails from the Exchange server. I have everything set correctly (including schedule and to receive every 5 min) but I have to manually retrieve my email. Also, I noticed that Activesync is not running. Isn't that required for Outlook email to function correctly. If I load Active sync and click sync, it loads new email. However, once I navigate away from Activesync, it does not show up in Task Manager.
Currently using Romeos' latest ROM but the issue is the same with other ROMS. I've retrieved my email on my phone for three years and have loaded many ROMS, so I'm 100% confident I'm setting up everything correctly.
yes you need active sync open to recive email. when you navigate away are you clicking the close at the top right (the x) if so check your settings in task manager
start > Settings > system tab > task manager > button tab > make sure 'end programs by tapping x' is not ticked if it choose the other option and problem solved.
Same here... No solution yet...

I have the same issue... Taskmanager is configured correctly, AS is configured correctly, but still;no automatic sync... However, it does work when I have the "as items arrive" configured. I want my battery to last as long as possible, so I don't really like this workaround...
Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice but my Task Manager is set to close apps by 'holding x'. Besides, even if I press the home key, Activesync disappears (i.e., it is no longer shown running in task manager).
Please post the required information when asking for help. Have you searched active sync? If you have you would have seen 100's of threads and post concerning it. What build of Rom are you using or is the chef using? there is a well documented problem with some of the builds and data connections and or active sync issues. Did you see those post? Have you tried flashing an older ROM to see if the active sync issues are gone?
Finally, this information should have been addressed in the thread where you got the ROM (Romeos). If no one else is having the issue in there, then it must be some other application you installed or your IT department has set up some new security procedures. I have posted a fix to the active sync issue in three threads if yours is in deed the same. One is a cab the other is aregistry edit. It has worked for some. You should search for it and you will find it.
Search
Yes, I searched (here and Google) and didn't find anything. I posted in the ROMeo thread with no luck. I always attempt to find info before I ask. You could have been a little nicer and posted your threads which present a fix. Have you "ever" asked a question and was told to go search. Does it really even matter? Why does it bother you so much?
And
I even attempted a search for posts by 'you' concerning 'active sync' and got nothing related. The vBulletin message board is not one of the more friendly boards to search. Most of the time it is like finding a needle in a haystack. The returned results are usually numerous, provide links which have nothing to do with the keyword searched. Most people don't have time to filter through 1000 messages to find an answer.
Test (of many): I did a search on outlook, email, automatic, http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php?searchid=21868332
The result I got is one link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=444784&highlight=outlook+email+automatic
No where on this page is the word 'Outlook', 'email' or 'automatic'. The word 'automatically' exists. This is how flawed vBulletin search is. And you wonder why people ask the same questions again.

This is starters....there was a cab posted in those threads please read search the threads you will find the cab,...However, as stated before it doesnt work perfect....the best thing to do is to switch roms...most chefs have done this including NRG and RRE....try one of those ROMS they changed their builds..
Great
This is good information. I've made the registry change and it seems to work. Thanks for the help.
