This being my first HTC device (came from OG Droid and X) I'm having a hard time locating a widget for Auto-Sync. Choosing the data dashboard widget gives me a set of widgets that includes auto-sync but not one by itself like it has for wi-fi, gps, bluetooth etc etc... If anyone can shed some light will be greatly appreciated.

I've got the 6 tab "HTC Homescreen" plugin installed on my AT&T Tilt.
Upon installation it included "Ringer Mode Selection" as one of the (9) launcher items. I accidentally removed it and now want to add it back, but when I attempt to re-assign it in the launcher, it doesn't appear in the app programs selection assignment list.
This launcher item is the one which allows you change the phone "ringer status" (on, off, vibrate, auto), and displays four ringer status boxes (icons) to select from. This item also displays & allows you to change the default ringtone sound.
How can I can get the phone "ringer status" selection item to appear in my launcher list again?
Thanks

Ringer Mode Selection is actually a HTC Homescreen TAB
Thanks to Kavi's help via PM, I found the answer:
'Ringer Mode Selection' is actually one of the six HomeScreen TABS (Profile Tab), and not a launcher item as I mistakenly thought. I've now got the Profile (ringer mode selection) TAB back via HTC Home Customizer.

Umm just a word of caution if you use that tab and use calendar reminders. There is definitely some flakiness in the interaction between those 2 functions.
E.g. if you use calendar and have have events chime in to remind you of those events, then switch to slent or vibrate, sometimes those reminders will get shut off and wont ring even after you switch back to ring mode.
This has been a known proven issue for some time with the HTC Home app's "profiles" tab functionality. I thought it was fixed on the Kaiser, but I now know that it is still an issue. Its an issue with how it manages notifications in the WM database.
If you don't care about notifications, then it doesn't matter. But if you do, beware that sometimes you won't get your reminder notice or sound even if you switch back to ring profile after using the silent or vibrate profiles for even a short while.
I've since removed that tab from my HTC Home via the HTC Home Customizer app, and only use the Comm Mgr "Ring/Vibrate" toggle to make the switch back and forth. It works without causing the same issue above. A couple more presses, but nothing compared to missing meetings cuz the reminder doesn't fire.
Profile Tab (ringer settings) - "Sound: Automatic"
Jomo25, thanks for the heads up about the possible conflict with profile (ringer status) tab & calender reminders.
That said, can somebody tell me what the far right most 'ringer setting' called:
Sound: Automatic is supposed to do? Thanks.

Nice! So that is why that happens I could never quite place it when it happens once and a great while.
Know of any other good "touch based/home screen" profile selector?

If you have an appointment in the calender it will automaticly switch to vibrate.

Hello,
I know there are some super talented designers on this forum, but after six hours of scouring the internet and these forums, I have yet to find any good icons for use with apps like Quick Profiles Pro.
Essentially, it stores a "profile" as a shortcut which can be assigned an icon... this sets media, call, alarm, notification volumes and connection toggles like wifi, gps, and bluetooth.
Some examples include:
- Regular Use
- Meeting
- School
- Car
- Vibration Only
- Silent
- Bedtime
Would really love it if anyone could point me in the direction of some of these type of icons (even the audio only portion would work - silent, vibration, full)
I've found a great thread here that has over 230 icon sets:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824656
but there aren't any that have profiles! Any direction / suggestion would be appreciated!
As the title says... The weather details have stopped working /showing in the calendar app.
Also on start up my phone home page background is usually a grey default pattern but on start up each time I turn the phone on the background shows complete black for a split second before the grey image shows up
Anyone know why for these 2 issues?
Thx
Is location enabled? Can't predict the weather without knowing where you are.
Open calendar app's settings
Scroll to bottom, 4th option from bottom, turn on weather forecast.
From what I remember first time setup you need to put in your city.
It updates when you have internet...I think its the same thing which powers the weather widget, someone else will know if this is true
Yeah guys...the calendar settings have location enabled...it says my city...in fact the weather updates were working in my phone up until I installed and messed around with Themer...then they stopped working. I have since uninstalled Themer...and the calendar weather updates don't work.
Do I have to enable 'Location Reporting' in general phone settings?
Hello there.
I receive notification for the weather at home location but also work location (though work location is not accurate no matter what I do. High accurate is on). Is there a way of choosing the weather location to be displayed? cheers
Are you talking about the weather cards? Those are controlled by your personal Google Now settings.
I have tasker and zooper widget pro that I have a wifi and bluetooth toggle for. The icon is one color when off and turns another when turned on, that is working. I added a location task that is set to my home location that turns off wifi when I get 100m from my location. They both work but the location task don't change icon color. Is there a way to get it so when I leave my location it turns off my wifi as well as change zooper widget pro icon from the on state to the off state?
To me this seems like more of a question about Zooper than Tasker, so I'd think you might get better feedback somewhere focused on Zooper. When I was using Power Toggles there was a particular setup that needed to be done in that program, in order for it to reflect the current state and work as I intended with both Tasker and manual setting changes. I think Zooper can work with Tasker variables, so that's one item I'd probably look into, but I didn't spend enough time with Zooper before moving on to KLWP to really address your question. Here is one site Google returns that might relate to the situation.

I figured out to fix it added a task and added plugin -> zooper widget and named the variables the same as the wifi variable and bluetooth variable.
