Whats today timeout?

Im seeing the option for timeout in hours a lot.
Like in Today menu under check items to appear in today screen.
What does Today timeout mean?
I also believe ive seen it in some SPB software im using. Either mobile shell or diary or phone suite.

It's the amount of time it will take for the phone to revert back to the Today screen if another app is in focus.
So for example, you have it checked and set to 1 hour. You run PIE (or any other app) and it's in the foreground. If you let it sit for an hour and come back to the phone, PIE(or other app) will no longer be in the foreground, it will have reverted back to the Today screen...with the other app minimized.

thanks!
How do i learn more about input syles?

Slect the SIP, ie: transcriber/Block recognizer. There is a "?" mark along the bottom, or the right of the SIP (depending onwhich one you have selected). A help screen/demo will come up.

Reading e-mail: starts in middle of message

When I read e-mail, the cursor automatically goes to the middle of the message instead of starting at the top. I can't find another comment on this.
I have the stock AT&T ROM (I know, lame), Kaiser Tweaks, and standard e-mail application.
Any ideas?

Had same problem myself.
Check out this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351296
Maybe similar to your problem?
I am sure this never happened to mine before either.
EDIT: Just to test I backed up my phone and did a hard reset. Lo and behold it was fine without Kaiser Tweaks! Will let the guys know on their thread.

This is a side effect in the nav pad tweak that allows better scrolling in IE. Normally IE jumps from link to link and the tweak was created to allow right press to page down. The side effect is that messages open at the end instead of the beginning. So it depends on which function is most useful to you as to enable this tweak or not.

This is the solution! I disabled the nav pad scrolling in IE in the Kaiser Tweaks and soft reset. I use Opera Mini as my internet browser so I am not sure why I enabled it in the first place.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it.

If you open 'calender' via the start menu instead it will stay in month view. Hope this helps.

That's completely normal, as it is called a Today screen So if you open the calender by clicking your agenda it will open today and not the normal setting. Discussed here before a few times and as far as i know there isn't a solution yet.

ah...ok...thx!!

I found the following behaviour with my T-Mobile branded Diamond:
You're in the TouchFlo3D home screen.
Clicking on an appointment shown below the clock and missed called button, you will see the agenda view.
Clicking on the lower right hand site "calendar" button, you will see the month view in calendar. No matter what you've setup in the options mentioned above in this thread...
Bit weird.

*bump*
still no possible fix or tweak around this thing? i know it's not a major bug or smth but it's annoying enough to have to tap 3 times more just to get into your "month" view

I fixed this by changing one of the soft keys to calander. When I now click this soft key it goes to my calander month view page. But if I click the reminder/calendar note below the call history it goes to day view so I think its a bug with TF3D.

I have fix this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462037&highlight=month+view

How do you know whats going on in the background?

Ok, throughout the day I noticed that the Media Net (EDGE) starts up (two little E's at the top of the tilt displaying) for several min. When I tap the E, it shows "Media Net (EDGE)" connected. Sometimes it stays connected for 15 to 45mins, other times just a few min. When I go to task manager, it does not show anything running. I do not have anything updating, the only two programs I have I update manually which is SBSH weather and a POP email account. How can I tell what it is looking for or what data it is transferring etc.. Why is it connecting?
So with this, how can I figure whats going on and how do I fix it, or this normal.
I do have KasierTweak, is there something in there I can adjust?
Thanks
and yes did a search, I guess I could not find the proper wording to get the right result's

try fdcsoft task manager and try to look on the processes that are runing in the background

I have MemMaid, I will check running programs when it kicks on again then post them?

?? I have used mamaid long time ago, so I dont know.
Its most likely the updates(weather).
But I dont know what u want now, do u want to stop it?
Edit: are u sure u have the auto updates turned off?(in weather)
could u post all installed apps?

Ok, all my weather updates are turned off.
Memaid will show all programs running and running processes.
Which one should I look under when the Media Net kicks on?
Question what will I'll be looking for, what specific program or what will Media Net (EDGE) look like. Will it say Media Net or something?
Like for instance, right now they have 14 processes running
all .exe processes

No, it won't appear there. When it connects on its own look at the running processes and try to guess if you can find one that might require net access.
Another hint, you say you have a POP e-mail account set up. Check that it isn't defined to check for mail automatically each X minutes. If I remember well this can get enabled by default when you add an account.

Ok, this is what is showing in the "running processes" before the mediaNet kicks on. I have not been able to catch it yet while running. Anything in here looks suspicious that should not be there?
device.exe 2.75mb
cprog.exe 2.63mb
gwes.exe 2.37mb
filesys.exe 2.34mb
shell32.exe 1.87
Transport.exe 315.76kb
services.exe 295.67kb
connmgr.exe 147.71kb
MortScript.exe 115.90kb
HTC ActionScreen.exe 47.90kb
poutlook.exe 31.90kb
saddaemon.exe 31.90kb
NK.exe 0Bytes
Thanks

I've never seen "Transport.exe". A quick search tells me about some Arcsoft program. Maybe it's checking for updates?
As Mikulec asked, a list of the programs you've installed could help... we don't know about all the programs out there...

The programs I have installed;
Kaisertweak
HTC Home plugin
Live Search
Opera
HHC Customize
ILauncher
Pocketweather
HTC Diamond Qwerly
Battery Status
Memaid
Finger Friendly Friends
Again guys thanks for your time and help.
MediaNet just kicked on and I went to running processes and I did not see anything different than what I listed above. Will check again though to be sure.

me either. Arcsoft is messaging program and it could be MMS related. Maybe its downloading mms.
Do u send and receive mms?

this is probably the culprit for your dilemma unless you are accidentally selecting the weather tab on htc home

ok guys went through a rechecked all my settings, I did check the HTC home screen weather to make sure it was on manual update (i do not use the weather program) also made sure that all my auto settings on pocketweather is turn off. I did make one other adjustment though, will see if this helped.
Funny thing is that when MediaNet kicks on, it doesn't appear to effect my battery.
Again, thanks for the replies. Will advise the outcome.

WinMo 6.1 & IE Problem (updated with more info)

So, I have the default ROM, the only thing I've ever really done on my phone is remove bloatware and instal HTC Home to give my today screen a fresher look. I heard that when you update to Windows 6.1 that the start menu should now appear on the bottom rather than the top left. I'm running 6.1 now and the button has not moved.
Also, my friend has a WinMo phone, on his phone using IE he can go to this website: http://www.digitalfuturesoft.com/dfttsmobilesdk.php and use the text box to enter words and have it synthesized into a sound file that is played through the media player. On my device the text box and drop down buttons never get rendered. His phone has nothing modified to it, at all. So I'm not sure what my phone is missing that his has...
Also, random... even though I don't use the default today screen, I did notice something odd. The top bar that list the date also listed the time. How could I get the phone to just show the date? Or is that just somthing the HTC Today cab did in order to let it function properly?
Thanks!
Edit: As of my last post, I discovered that the text to speech site will render correctly IF I'm connected to my computer via USB/Active Sync. But if I take out the USB and exit out of IE then try to load that site, I again find it never loads correctly.

I don't know where you heard that. The Start Menu is still at the top in WM 6.1

You can change this with KaiserTweak or PocketToolman.

I forget what website it was, but it listed that MS moved the start button to the bottom. I'll look into the tweak software to edit stuff further.
Now for the issue with IE. Is it missing some sort of Java plugin?

Hmm update.
I've discovered that the only way I can get this site to correctly render is when the phone is connected to my computer through Active Sync.
But when I remove it, close IE and reload it that page no longer renders....
So I hope that helps someone figure out why it's not working when disconnected from USB.
So does this mean theres some setting that I'm overlooking?
