I recently noticed that my screen orientation icon at the bottom of the today screen has disappeared. I tried the registry tips mentioned under services, and the gdi folder, but the icon hasn't come back even after a couple of soft resets. Anyone have any suggestions? I don't want to go through the hassle of a hard reset, especially since I'm moving to another country in a few days.

I have the same problem.
I think it's with the startup programs every boot/soft reset.
The only solution I had was to hard reset, but when I restore my backup it disappears again.
I'm still looking for the program that was installed that somehow overrides the startup service of the rotatescreen.dll
I seem to have fixed it for the time being. I edited showicon to 1 in the HKLM/GDI/Rotation, file -> exit resco file explorer then immediately soft-reseted.
It might have something to do with my uninstalling Skype to install on the SD card though...good luck.
remember seeing someone said it needed to check the registry

Unfortunately I don't have Skype installed...
and I've tried the registry...
so I'm left with finding out which program I've installed is the culprit for overriding the startup of the screen rotate icon service...
as of now, I've somehow learned to live with it not there...
Have you tried both locations in the registry? Set hideUI to 0, and showicon to 1. then immediately exit your registry program after affecting the changes, and soft reset, lemme know how it goes
I can't use voice dialer when S2U2 locks phone, is there a way around this? I like the S2U2 application, but when I am driving and need to make a phone call via bluetooth handfree I can't, because s2u2 block the voice dialer.
I did look for a solutions via the search engine and in the s2u2 thread, but no luck thus far.
which device?
which ROM?
which voice dial app?

Thanks for your response,
HTC 8925 (Tilt)
Dutty's Touch AT&t beta 2
Cyberon Voice Speed Dial V1.2 build 070626
The newest version of S2U2 v0.95 offers a solution to this problem by adding the ability to use exceptions to temporarily disable S2U2.
1) Install the new version.
2) Run iLock2 to close the application.
3) Use a registry editor:
Under \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2U2, find an open ExceptionEXE(0-9) (STRING). I used ExceptionEXE3. Enter the value: "SDDialer.exe" (this is the application that runs when you press the button on your bluetooth headset).
4) Run iLock2 to restart the application and you're done.
Thanks to tompol for discovering this solution. I first tried it by entering the value: "Voice Speed Dial.lnk", but this didn't work.
Hello,
i have another problem with S2U2 on my Kaizer, and i think i created it but cannot get through it. After i did some changes on the S2U2 settings now every time the lock goes on and even if i open the settings i get a black screen and can not do anything. If i press the power on button to turn off the screen and then on, i get the S2U2 screen but frozen, with out any animation! I have tried to remove and re-install the application but i get the same response from the program. Could someone give me some help, because i really like the application but can not use it...
TIA,
Nikos.

did you turn on the directdraw option or safe mode option?
When you uninstall an app, it leaves behind the registry entries. As soon as you reinstall the app, those settings are in affecct again. Uninstall the app, use a registry editor to remove the following key, soft reset, then try to reinstall:
The key to remove is HKCU\Software\A_C
Ok, I had the exact same problem, the problem is indeed with D3D option, you need to disable it. As soon as it is off and the settings are saved, the program works fine once again, and smoother then previous version.
This part is gonna be hard to explain... but here it goes...
First thing to do is run ilock so that when u turn the screen off it doesn't start S2U2.
When you open the settings the screen freezes, like the kaiser crashed, but if you move down and you turn the screen off and on, you'll see the menu scrolled down.
Basically that means u're working blind, changes do occur but u can't see, so the process is to move it down, turning the screen off and on sistematically until u see the d3d option and turn it off, then save it.
Hope I explained myself enough.
Takes some work, but doesn't require registry tweaking and other settings are kept.
Keep posted on results.
Cheers, Esko

Thank you both for your fast and details replies!!!
It was indeed the direstdraw option. It was easier for me to try eskostar's method, especially since i had tried the same blind procedure but i did not figure the trick with running the ilock first!!!
Everything worked out great!!! Now i can use this excellent program again!!!
Thank you again!!!
Cheers, Nikos
I have this problem. When I start S2U2 and miss call screen remains as it is when someone call (caller's number and slide to answer or two buttons with green and red phone). Whatever I push or click nothing happens. So I must softreset or turn off and on my Kaiser. Some tips?
Sorry I dont have that issue. However my problem with this version of S2U2 is when SLide to Answer is Active you can still use the Hardware Keys to answer!
Anyone no how to deactivate the Hardware keys during Slide to Answer?

yeah it works, get a reg editor and do as stated, it works.
Just saw this, and now it won't lock on it's own now that I did the regedit.

if any of the apps in the exception list are running, not just in the foreground, even if they are running in the background, then [email protected] will not enable. Check your exception list, make sure none of those apps are currently running, then try again. If you still have issues after that, then it's with S2U2, not the exception list.

Very well done.
Apparently Internet Explorer was still running, and as soon as I closed that it ticked off. May consider removing that key, as I don't see why I would need it.
Thanks.

Good deal, glad it worked for you....
when I install S2U2 (i go thru phases where I want it, then phases of "get it off my Tilt") the first thing I do is remove the exception for PIE.
FYI.... Likewise, if you run any of the Cube or TouchFlo variants out there, you will need to put an exception into the TouchFlo settings for S2U2. What happens if you don't is when you try to slide to unlock (or slide to answer) you end up invoking the Cube or TouchFlo, instead of S2U2. Just an FYI for you....
Thanks for the tip. Am still looking into wicked programs so far, only had it two weeks and it's already been through the mod ringer.

that's the way to do it. I've been using PPC devices for years and years and everytime I get a new one, I try every hack, reg edit, tweak, and app possible.
All the roms i tried had this quirk, and i'm wondering if theres a fix. when i open a message either an email or text message, the screen focus is way below the beginning of the message. Maybe 5 lines too low. So then i have to scroll up to see the beginning of the message. I'm at the regular text size and this is the standard t-mobile ship rom i'm running, but having tried 3 other roms in the last 48 hours its something i noticed carries across. I dont recall if my wizard did this also, but its pretty annoying. Any ideas troops?

I'm not sure what you're talking about. Mind posting a screenshot of what you mean?
Yeah that made no sense to me either.
Strange
ok so in the two attachments you can see how the message opens, file is called coincidently "opens" and the other shows how i have to scroll to the top to view the beginning of the message(message top). Disregard content =)
*edit*
Maybe it has something to do with being hooked up to my SBS Exchange box?
pothead haha
420girls.com baby, nothing better than a hot chick that blazes. Period.
So any ideas on why my phones acting shady?
narrowed this down to something within "Schap Advanced Configuration v1.0" everytime i install this program my messaging goes haywire. Anyone have a clue why? Kaiser Tweak doesnt mess up my messaging and has many more options, im going to use that from now on. I love this phone!
Everytime I've tried it, Schap's tool has never worked properly on my Wing... and always caused problems... bc of the difference in the device it was coded for and the Wing...
Kaiser tweak is great, everything works except the 3G options obviously
Might be a thread here...
culprit found!
Hi,
I had precisely the same problem with opening messages roughly one page down from the top. After few hours of surfing I identified the culprit - Schap's Advanced config. When I turn on the item "Navigate with direction pad" on the tab "Internet Explorer", the message opens correctly. When I turn it off and restart, it opens wrongly. I tested it on my HTC Artemis, but it is probably the same on other devices.

so i downloaded the CAB file and installed. but it doesnt appear. i still have the bland home screen. i did a soft reset and nothing. any help?
in my mind i followed the instructions from this link http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html to a "t".
it cant be this simple...
I dont suppose you went to Settings > Personal > Today > Items(tab) and adjusted your settings.

Connect device to PC. Use Active Sync to move the (unopened/unextracted) CAB file to your device (storage card or if not main memory).
Then on the device use file explorer to find the CAB and tap on it to install it. Choose install to main memory for this CAB.
AND follow above posters advice to ensure the plugin is set to show on the Today Screen.

not that simple

already done that.
ditched the original link and downloaded schen's version on these very forums. so far so good!
look for schen's HTC Home at pocketemu.com. Then download HTC Home Customizer from the same Link and use it to customize your HTC Home.

2 ways
HHC can do it for you under one of its tabs
or
Go to the weather tab on HTC Home, tap on your city name and change it from the Menu option corrosponding to the right soft key.
Play around with it first and see if you can figure things out.
I downloaded the home plug and schen's cab, but the today screen only appears as the HTC home plug should appear. I tried reinstalling the cab file, but nothing changed. I can't find it under settings.
:EDIT:
I'm not even gonna bother deleting my previous post here. That was dumb of me. I thought I was to look around in the settings... Then I checked programs. You may now bash.
Screen not responding to the stylus?
I can not for the life of me get my stylus to work on my tilt. this is my first touch device but im sure its not hard. i can tap the screen and im fine but when i go to use the stylus it wont respond. could i have disabled something by accident?
Have a screen protector??? May need to adjust the sensitivity. Don't have the exact key, but I know it's in several posts. try filtering your search with the term pressure threshold.
No, it happened to me today too
Tilt w/Duttys latest.
I was reading email, when suddenly the touch screen stopped working. I could use the DPad, but no response to touch. Opened and closed the keyboard, still no response. Soft booted and it went back to normal.
I have had it happen 2 or 3 times on my tilt with dutty previous release. Rebooted and it went back to normal.
The problem is usually related to FTouchFlo, a simple soft reset cures the issue. If you don't have FTouchFlo installed, I'm not sure what could be causing it
I can also say that the issue is coming from touchflo. happened to me twice before so i've just disabled touchflo and hasn't happened since.
Me too!!!

I did everything in it, but sometimes my screen stops and freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes it gets so bad that it freezes like every 20 or 30 seconds when I am typing something using the stylus. I don't think I have touchflow because I never installed it. I just have the stock HTC rom.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

The "display message on screen" ("Sounds & Notifications" > "Notifications" > "Reminder") is being unchecked after a calendar reminder has went on.
I've tried re-setting it to on, then soft reset, re-verified the setting. But, the setting has gone after a calendar reminder.
This is causing me extra click on the title bar to get the message pop up and to dismiss it. annoying.
Anyone experienced this problem? with 2.03 ROM? Any fix?
Thanks.
I have the same problem with 2.03. For many events I have "Display message on screen" checked.
The /something/ happens to my device that un-checks them but I don't know what causes it.
I have set a calendar reminder to test if that causes it but that doesn't seem to be the cause for me.
It /is/ very annoying!
Ah... The wonderous feeling of not being alone.
I have this problem too on a 2.03 dutch ROM. A solution will certainly be highly appreciated.
oh no
This just happend to my phone too, I really am getting fed up with HTC, why don't they test the software and save us all some time....?
If anyone finds a solution please let us know

fixed
Somehow this turned itself off,
but here is how to fix it
settings/personal/sound and notifications then click on show on screen and its back....
Sometimes it turns off again some people say its a bug not sure ... but this works for me...

I have succeeded in creating a CAB file that fixes the registry entries for me and it seems to run fine in Windows startup.
However, I found that by just restoring the entire registry key for each reminder the selected WAV for the reminder was reset - I don't know why. To solve this I just manually edited my .reg file so that only the 'Options' value was listed for each reminder.
If the problem always occurs when the device is reset or switched off & on then hopefully I shouldn't see this issue again. Otherwise I'll have to manually run the CAB file each time I notice the issue.
This also happens on mine, but it has nothing to do with reset or turning power off. It just happens randomly :-(
same issue, even for the ones that remain checked, they don't appear on the screen.... well, hope someone can find a fix.
