hello!
hope this makes sense!
at the top of the today page there is the display for the date.......
it normally reads "Friday 01 July 2005"
but on my device (qtek s100 1.12 rom) it only displays "01 July 2005" the day has gone???
this only seems to happen after installing some programs, but its dosnt seem to be a specific one?
hope someone can help
many thanks

I have the same thing here. But if I put my regional settings back to Dutch it does display the date thing the right way, but in Dutch. (And that doesn't make sense if evertything else is in English) I have the regional settings on English and it doesn't say which day of the week it is.
If your regional settings are US then it displays the Day, but UK doesn't.
Sucks :evil:
You can customise the date display on the today screen. You need a registry editor and need to add a new registry key.
Browse to:
\HKLM\nls\overrides
and add a new STRING value called SLDte
Its value can be a combination of:
d - One/two digit day number
dd - Two digit day number
ddd - Abbreviated weekday name
dddd - Full weekday name
M - One/two digit month number
MM - Two digit month number
MMM - Abbreviated month name
MMMM - Full month name
y - One/two digit year number
yy - Two digit year number
yyy - Full year number
On mine, my SLDte key is set to
dddd, d MMMM yyyy
so today it displays "Friday, 1 July 2005"
Hope that helps...

Wow! Thank you PDAMerlin

many thanks

Qtek s100
thank you now have the day back!
Many thanks for that tip. Do you know if there any simple way to put the time on the same line too, there's probably space and it would work well there. No worries if not, it's on the bar above anyway.

Before I updated to 2.26 from 1.08, my MDA would show the time and I did a reg hack to show the month and day in the upper right hand corner. I was pretty sure this would show in almost every app. Now it doesnt show. Am I being stuppid or did they change something with the update?
click start, settings, system tab, clock & alarms, more tab, and check where it says "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs"
Hey thanks a bundle. Worked perfect.
Can you describe the reg hack to display the month and day on the title bar you mentioned?
Mine shows 8:25, i would like it to show 7/8/2006 8:25 AM
Thanks
I'm about finishing a plugin for Today Screen and Home Screen, where the latest status of prepaid SIM Card (account) is displayed.
As you know, to get this status, you have to send a special code. Mostly, it is *101# and a green phone button. In reply, cellular network responses with a special message. As I could check that replies in a few networks, messages depend from the cellular network. And the language too. Because of that, my plugin just displays a whole message without changes.
My question is: how that reply messages look like in various networks? Could you please post here message you get?
I want to get answer, what is maximum length of such messages, to save the space of screen. Or maybe to use its content and reformat the display style finally (what's - I'm afraid - impossible due to many languages used). Correct me.
If you use prepaid card, please send *101# code (or maybe in some other networks it is different code?), and give the answer you got from cellular network in reply.
"Creditul tau de xxx.xx EURcenti este activ inclusiv pana la dd/mm/yy"
this is how it looks on Orange romania.
hope it helps.
but there is a catch... if i have extra options(like bonus free minutes) when i dial the check credit number(*133#) i also receive a separate sms(from a different number(333) )showing me the free minutes left...
i also have a small question... do you know a good USSD program that is compatible with mio?
In Belgium with provider PROXIMUS, dial code is #121# and result is formatted as Credit: nnn.nn EUR Validite dd/mm/yyyy
Vodafone Germany
Dail code for Vodafone Germany is *100#. The reply is: Ihr Kontostand betraegt xx.xx Euro.
Looking forward to check out the plug-in.
I use another prog - dciBalance - and get a relult ot Today like:
"Balanse: xx$ (-0,5$) 7:34, 07.12.2007 "
where xx$ - balance, (-0,5$) changes by per day, and time\date of cheching
is dciBalance also available in english?
no dciBalance available only on Russian....
But it is not very hard to understand "how to"
Thank for comments.
I don't know the above other program with similar funtions, and I even did not tried it.
That's why my concept is stay as: to leave an original reply message in original language. This will run independently from particular country or cellular network. Certainly, I added options to change the default code *101# to whatever some user will need in some localization or situation.
Have anybody heard, that any network charges for USSD questions?
Currently, my program checks the status: on every wake up, on every midnite, and if user will check the option: on every hour. I can add more options like: after every phone call finished, or after every message sent. But... it consumes battery. I'm already under deeper tests how it works relative to battery reasonably discharging.
User can force the checking any time manually, by selecting this plugin and press Action or Enter button.
when will we see the app?
sounds very interesting. yeah, when can we see this app?
anybody know the ussd code for vodafone nz??
beta version is here
Ok. Here it is a Beta Version. It will expire on the end of year.
This is a version for PPC only (incl. VGA), Smartphone HomeScreen plugin is upcoming... Please, users of Smartphones: give your comments what you see after *101# code and how it is displayed, or similar...
After installation:
- in PPC please check, if it is marked on system Today items list
- in SP please select one of new Home SCreen style with "prepaid..." in name
or build your own Home Screen, this plugin you get with:
<plugin clsid="{6A59C93A-4B8A-46c1-873B-269E93A8CE27}" name="prepaidstatus" height="25"><background><format state="selected" bgcolor="COLOR_HOMEHIGHLIGHT"/></background></plugin>
Changes:
- added delay of 10sec. in first checking since activate
- added delay of 5 sec. after wake up
- added icon of Settings... in default Programs folder (for future SP version)
- added destroying default notification icons (not sure if it works well in all devices, yet)
- added breaking each sentence for new line
- added "red alert", when your value is below specified limit (background becomes red and text white, do you want sounds?)
- added text "awaiting notification" while the request is running...
- added text "unresponsived" while network did not replied correctly
- reply message length limited do 200 characters
Some possible problems:
- in some devices I observe that after checking the status the phone line is not active till I use default Phone dialog next time. Not sure about it.
- in some devices I still cannot destroy the default notification icon of USSD reply, it is generated after every checking and collect together in status bar. If you use automatically checking, it will become a huge number of icons.
If you uncheck all available options for automatically requesting the status, you can always force it manually by pressing Action or tap the screen on this Today Item.
All comments are welcome and awating...
Files updated on 11 Dec. 2007
hello!
i tested it for a short while and here are first impressions.
Looks amaising, with a minor bug check the pic.
is it normal to show a red background?
A small sugestion....(from my little programing skills...) i believe it is possible to make the program search the ussd for the first set of numbers and display it, so that it will only show the credit. don't you think this will be a nice improvement?
thanks for comments. looks like the problem with "red alert". I will check and fix very soon.
I'm not sure about the concept of "first digit" because I don't know if this rule works in all languages and all network codes. I use this idea to define/determine "red alert" and maybe this is wrong.
there is also a small bug with the settings window... if you open the settings and pop up the keyboard the whole settings moves up, out of the window(first pic)
on Tele2 Sweden its *111#
gives you:
SALDO: xxx.xx Prisplan: Comviq Kontant Kompis. Kortet F n giltigt till 6/12-2008.
that is Prisplan = what sort of card you have
F n giltigt = expires day
I just updated the .cab file, small bug with "red alert" fixed.
If someone will get problem with red background and alert, please set 0 value for its limits. In this case it will not run.
To correctly upload the new version:
- uncheck this item from the list
- remove from default Remove Programs
- make a soft-reset
- re-install the new one
Strange with the Settings dialog. It's not in all my devices already.
Certainly, "last reported..." displays Today's time, and the date if it was not today.
Extend the USSD code
Is it possible to set the program for a longer USSD code?.
Meteor IE is using *#100# for their credit balance USSD code. I have tried inputing the code but it kept cutting of the last #.
ps:- nice work btw
I will try to fix. Thanks for comments.
hmm... after rechecking the settings tab, it seems that sometimes when i open settings the top bar vanishes and the whole settings prog moves up and after a couple of seconds the top bar reapears... that's what happens in the above pic....
unfortunetly i can't test the version very much because, as i told you, at every check i also receive a second sms, showing me the remaining free minutes and it is very annoing to delete them from my sms inbox...
btw, will the next version have the ussd send message balloon hidden?
Thanks for all this great work!
le: seems that most forum folks don't have prepay cards... 3 downloads so far... 2 by me
Both PPC and SP versions are now.
I just updated installation files, PPC and SP versions are available from now.
Several fixes included, also about automaticaly updating.
I'm not sure 100% about SP version, because such devices are very sensive for background proccess while the screen is going black (suspend, not like in PPC turns off). Next days will give answers if I thought correctly.
Hi
I would like to change the "timeout settings for today". Right nu I can choose 1 to 12 hours, but I rather want to choose 5-60 minutes. Is this possible? I start every program from the today screen, using SPB pocket plus. I have search but didn´t find anything that could help me
Hans
I also want to change the time-out setting for today on my HTC Touch Pro in 5 minutes. It must be as easy as updating the correct registry item.
Nobody a solution yeat for the above 1 month old request ?
regards, Danny
hack "Today Timeout"
Is this thread still active or should I begin a new thread on the subject?
Is there a way to hack "Today Timeout" to timeout in minutes instead of hours? Or better yet, to get the PDA to always return straight to the Today Screen when powered on?
The Today Timeout (Settings>Personal>Today>Items) in Windows Mobile 6 goes down only to 1 hour. At the very least, I would like to be able to set the Today Timeout to 10 minutes or less.
By the way, I realize that On my HTC Diamond, if I have a security password set, it will always revert to the Today screen. I however do not want to use a password.
There are other threads but they don't quite address my issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-253896.html (What is "Today timeout"??)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-325946.html (Is this a Today bug?)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416659 (Change timeout settings for today)
Anyone know how to do a registry hack on this?
Hi all, long time viewer, first time poster, so initially I would like to thank everyone on here for generating such a useful forum!
Onto my question. Mytouch hd answers automatically when you pick up the phone... more detail required proabbly, if it is resting on a flat surface ie a table and starts ringing it will answer the call when you pick the handset up. This is quite a neat function except for when you don't want to answer the call for whatever reason.
Does anyone have a solution to how i turn this off. I have used the search function, however sadly to no avail.
Thanks

Go to Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone
Then go to the "More" tab and uncheck the box under "Automatic Pickup"
one reason why ..
you phone is answering on auto...check following, if it is selected.( and untick if selected...).
go to ....start ....settings...select phone icon. ( about middle of page )...under personal tab ( this tab is at bottom of bar )...you will then see on next page at bottom of bar ....a few selections eg..phone, services, network,band,pin/pin2 ,time zones ,then a tab "more " ...select "more "( if you cannot see " more " you have to scroll on with arrows below )....check following settings...automatic pickup...then a check box with.... answer incoming calls without pressing ... etc..etc...
if this is not the case ,then check for ...
a third party software ..for eg. a "tweaking " program etc..installed on your phone ..that has been config to answer automatic...
good luck
Thanks guys, I had already checked this one out, and the box is not checked. I guess I will have to have a look on the pphone and try and find some third party software. THough I must admit I can't see naything on the programmes list, and I am not good enough to get into the config settings using file explorer... any suggestions??
