need an easier way to set the alarm - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I find it very hard to set the alarm without a stylus due to fat fingers. Does anyone know of an alternate way of setting the alarm?

You can change time by draging the analogue clock indicators. That works for me.

I once grew my fingernail long and used that as a stylus ^_^

I'm using the same appplication from one HTC to another : perfectly working with the diamond (and with big fingers) Pocket WakeUp

Missed the icon to rotate screen

Hi !
I've just done a soft-reset with my 2020i and now I don't see the icon for rotating screen (right bottom of the screen)
I don't know what to do then I ask you if is possible to restore this element without hard reset.
Thanks in advance :wink:
The rotate icon dissapears on mine often too, usually a soft reset fixes it but i dont use it too often because i find it to be buggy.
Try mapping a button to the rotate function.
The bubble problem is common too, sometimes it decides to stay at the top when it is suposed to disapear, ive even seen it display ?????????? when you click on it.
End of the day i think there just OS bugs, nothing much to cure it atm
Thanks guys for your replies. :wink:
So I have uninstalled IP Dashboard Monitor (the last software I have installed before getting the problem) and after a soft-rest my rotate screen icon was showed in the tray.
Now I know. If you install that software your icon will miss.
About the bubble, I also think it's probably a bug :roll:
Thank you again
I found that SPB Diary and All phone profile sofware (ie, Pocket Zen Phone,Phone Alarm and Pocket Profiles) Disable the Screen Rotation Icon.
Also Sometimes SPB Weather when installed to MMC or Storage,when installed to Phone memory works OK.
I had this problem, it's actually to do with the Today Screen items not initialising quick enough. Search this site for NoPluginsToday and follow the instructions, I don't have them to hand but I found the solution on here and now I have all my icons back in the task bar.

Lost Today item....Message !
can anyone export the today item's "message" !
don't know why suddenly the Message lost in the today plug-in !
anyone ?
One more time, I miss the icon again and this time the cause is TomTom Navigator 5.
Now I think this is a BIG bug of qtek 2020i, why I miss the icon ? :?
Is there a way to create a shortcut to screen rotation function ?
Thanks guys.

SPB Time into HTC home

Hi,
I've been searching for a while now; i think htc home is fine, except for the clock.
I would like to replace the original htc clock (with the lousy alarm function) with spb time, is that possible?
If so, i'm gonna buy spb time, because it rocks!

SPB Time is a stand alone product, it will not interface with the bulit-in alaram app. And if you are looking to get SPB to light up the little alarm clock on HTC home, good luck. I've tried already via reg hacks, the only way to do it would be for SPB to somehow add the function in Time.
I installed SPB Time and Pocket Plus to completely get rid of HTC Home
Actually, the best way to integrate SPB Time with HTC Home wouldn't be to replace the clock, simply to change the linking such that tapping on the clock would open SPB time instead of the Windows Mobile Time settings.
If that's impossible (which it's looking like from the research I've been doing), another option would be to use either the HTC Home launcher to run SPB time, or to enable SPB time's Screen Saver mode.
yep, without re-engineering the Home plugin to do that, it would be impossible. Although that is a great suggestion and probably the only way it would work. It would be nice if that was a registry entry, just select the alarm app you want and it will open when clicking on the time displayed on HTC Home.
Hell, I would be happy if SPB could hack/hook into the alarm icon of the OS (it displays on the home htc and on the standard OS date plugin) and display the alarm icon when an alarm is set.
Any of you guys using SPB TIme also using S2U2? if so, let me know, got something for you to try....

Clock display

Hi
Just got my diamond a month ago but not sure how to may the clock display on the home screen like the one I see advertise on the HTC website, I get just a normal time display eg. 1:56pm
thanks
Between the Call History and the Clock.. you SHOULD be able to see a small arrow head.
Use your thumb / finger to swipe down
That should give you the BIG clock
Thanks for the info.

pTravelAlarm to show under BigClock on Home screen?

As Title says, is there any known way, hack or application that makes the pTravelAlarm to show as alarm under BigClock on Home screen?
I never use the default alarm clock and it would look nice if the alarm could show up there. Nothing fancy, just as the default shows, with the time, would do just fine.
Yes, it's only and pure for looks, but hey! That's why we own the Diamond in the first place right?
- Mikael -
I would like to know
I would like to know that too!
This would be great. I have also been looking, along the same lines, for a prog that will remap the calendar button under the big clock (not softkey) to a 3rd party calendar, such as Touchcal.
I tried SSMAPA but it didn't work.
Surprised not more people are looking to do this... curious as to what most people are doing with these buttons... not using them? found a fix? deleting them somehow?
Thanks for reading.

Who uses Touchflo and who uses HTC Home?

I am pretty new to Touchflo and am wondering who is using (and enjoying) touchflo, and who still uses HTC home. I remembered reading somewhere that some people uninstalled touchflo and kept with HTC home. I want to see everyone is doing before i get fully on board. Also, if you use another option I didn't list, put in a comment and i can add it to the poll.
While we are on the subject what HTC Home VGA does everyone use? I have tried the PJ HTC Home VGA but has issues with weather...
Damned!
It's hard to live without the touch flo !
We expected it for a long time .....
Its really cute but less productive ....... not unfortunatly as deep thinked than the iphone UI (if we need an exemple)
BTW i can't live without ! everytime i put it off my raph feels naked !
Once i got my hand on SPB Shell, Everything is faster and easier to access. No look back to TF3D here. The interface of spb shell is just beautiful and straight forward. I can run both lunchers side by side but I don't see the need. Fuze's battery life is very good on spb shell tho some reports said it drained battery life especially when run together with TF3D. Well.. my battery last almost 2 days with moderate use with spb shell ( with advanced config max power saver setting and manually switch between 3G and GRPS when needed. So, No compliant at all. )
Just did quite tough battery life test today. Talked on the phone for more than an hr. Missed a few calls. Did some text messaging and checked voice mails. Heavily surf on net using 3G and GRPS. Turn on and off different applications especially the browers/ calenda/ games/ online games... let data connection stay on... 25% left after about a 9-10 hrs day.

I'm using HTC Home, the one I'm using though is a custom one...I combined two installs that were originally seperate and changed the default clock to one I converted to VGA.
another for for HTC Home.. just enough info at your fingertips and doesn't make the phone drag a$$
Was running everything out of phoneAlarm using a full-screen skin that gave me access to literally everything I need from speed dial with photos to weather, app shortcuts, profile control...
Changed to running SBSH Pcoket Breeze in no tabs mode on the bottom 2/3 of my today screen with a different phoneAlarm screen above. The no-tabs mode allows me to swipe the PocketBreeze area of the screen to change to different tabs. The attached screen capture shows my schedule for the next several days with the weather forecasts for those days (colors indicate appointment category).
im too using htc home inside ultimate launcher everything just fine. just have to chang icon size in ultimate laucher to 98 or so
i've tried everything.. mobilematt fuzzberry, dirty wrap etc.. but disable TF3D and running spb pocket plus are still the best for me.. i packed it with pocketbreeze to maximize my appointments schedule.. the spb pp has everything.. batt indicator, shortcuts on Today with multi-tabs (categories) memory status, backlight adjustment, soft-reset... everythiingggg is on Today screen
with 2 taps, i can run any third-party programs i've installed including games, settings, silent mode, vibrate mode etc...
pocketbreeze is to manage my whole month schedule.. either meetings, site visits, dateline.. or family gathering events, birthdays, weddings,
no more touching and flowing.. LOL
HD port tf3d at the moment. But looking hard at the spb but hard to find good vga themes.
I actually don't use either. I use rlToday, which is a simple XML based homescreen.
Here is the version I made for the Samsung Epix.
The one I'm using now replaces the text below the clock with 4 big icons (SMS, Email, Missed Calls, and VM) with their respective counters.
So I still have the neat clock (not animated) and big buttons to get me to the needed app.
There is lots of room between the clock and the 4 bottom buttons... I was thinking of adding a Google Search bar or something... but I dunno.
I just like it because it is simple and displays what I need it to in an easy to read/access fashion.
