Exactly what the title asks... I would like to change my current time format on my taskbar. It currently displays time in the h:mm format. I would like to switch over to h:mm:ss format if possible.
Im assuming there is a registry setting to alter that? Anyone know the location?

That seems a bit overkill for what I want to do. I dont want another program on my phone. I simply would like to change the format of the time on the taskbar. That program adds a second time display next to the already existing one that covers the area where the close button would be.
Anyone have any ideas? I would think the key would be located in the /windows/nls/overides area.. but the only time format key I see is for the long format.
I think it impossible to edit clock format in taskbar.
Clock format can be set in the windows registry:
AM/PM Time Format (Windows Default)
Registry location: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
Keys:
"iTime"="0"
"iTLZero"="0"
"sTimeFormat"="h:mm:ss tt"
24 Hour Time Format
Registry location: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
Keys:
"iTime"="1"
"iTLZero"="1"
"sTimeFormat"="HH:mm:ss"
I think this is changeable from Settings > System > Regional Settings.
Click Time tab, change Time Style from h:mm to h:mm:ss tt
This'll also force it to display AM/PM, IIRC.
If this isn't doing it for you, try this registry edit:
\\HKLM\nls\overrides\STFmt = (string) h:mm:ss
If that doesn't do it, someone else might have a fix for you...
I have the 20 Key Touch Dual (nike) and XT9 works great, but depending on what program you are using some applications start in "abc" mode by default. This seems dependant on what feild you are in; Subject feilds like a new calendar item always starts in "abc" mode, where notes and message feilds start in XT9. If you change the settings it will default back next time you open that application. Is there a way to change the default keypress settings to always start in XT9 for all feilds or a way to remember your preference inside each feild.
Anyone have a suggestions/tweak/fix?
Thanks-

i also need to fix this it is really annoying
I think you are right and that it's determined by the field or the application. I've noticed that it defaults to "abc" in fields and applications where non-standard (unusual) language is often used; i.e. calendar entries, phone book, connections settings fields, etc.
There must be a workaround though...
Does anyone found a solution to this??
It's really annonying to have to change everytime for having the xt9 enable. I found a sort of shortcut: long press on the button "*/xt9" and then press "1" but you have to do it each time...
Don't we have a good programmer who knows how to make cab to get rid of this??
i tried this, you can change the keyboard to the normal one, non new htc, this it will be of.
Guys it's simple use file explorer and go to Window\xT9Settings and click to launch settings menu there you can check on/off the following:
-Spell Correction
-Next Word Prediction
-Auto Substitution
-Word Completion
-Multitap Word Completion
Don't know why HTC have hidden it in the windows directory!! it should have been placed in the systems menu in any case you can always create shortcut for it in the programs menu.

But the is no option there to disable or enable xT9 in all applications.
I think this is the same issue as being discussed in this thread - maybe they should be merged.
Even though this thread is the 20-key version the way it reads to me we are all looking for the reg key(s) that set the behavior of xT9...

Im not looking to disable the XT9, but to enable it in every feild by default or ABC mode. Right now certain feilds default to ABC or XT9, so knowing which feild defaults to what is always a pain. If I get used to typing in one mode only everything would be smooth.
This is one of the biggest things that is bugging the hell out of me at the moment with this device. Everything else has been smooth, Really hope HTC fix this in the next version with either a user option to enable the mode you want to use. I am pretty sure that a registry edit could also do this.

no xt9settings program on my traditional chinese version.
Try the link below...^^

Thanks for the link. It works properly.
I'm loving my HD2, and I'm very happy with the HTC Sense UI, but there's a couple of things that are really bugging me.
One of them is just stupid.
I'm a developer myself, but a Windows dev, not really mobile, and there's NO WAY ON THIS EARTH that I would EVER make a menu that only had 1 option in it.
With that in mind, why on earth do I have to go to Settings, Menu, and then All Settings, to get the settings menu???
Okay, I understand it going to the settings tab, but why there's a menu titled 'Menu' that only has the 1 option of 'All Settings' in it I'll never know. It would make much more sense to just have 'All Settings' instead of 'Menu'.
Can anyone in-the-know give some pointers on how this might be changed? A CAB file would obviously be preferable , but I'm happy to look into this a bit myself.
I know there's some über geniuses on these forums (suck suck). Can any of you help out?
yeah it's not very ergonomically sound
The 'original' settings shortcut is hidden, you can show it by modifying:
HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo\HideSettings
Change it from 1 to 0, soft reset, then delete the settings shortcut in windows\Start Menu\Programs
edit: more info here (and it seems you can't delete the 'new' settings link)

Cheers mate. Bit annoying that we have to hack a step back to get some basic functionality, but better that than nothing.
Thanks
It is indeed a bit strange...
We can say that it is a kind of "protection"... To avoide people playing with your mobile to be directly in the settings ...
That is the only reason I see so far (maybe not a good one)
Well, what settings do you need that are in the original WM settings screen and not in HTC's 'More -> Settings'?
But yeah, the 'More' menu with only one item is pretty ridiculous indeed.
I have a question how to make guick link on main screen to settings (WM settings not manila settings)?
In BSB tweaks, there's the option to have Windows Settings as on/off. I have mine on, which gives me two "gear" icons - one is Settings, the other is Manilla Settings. The Settings icon takes me straight to the All Settings you mention.
Any good for you?
I don't find any option to do so, but since I selected a custom wallpaper, the home screen is extremely slow. How do I revert to default?
Thanks

Go to settings tab > Personalize > Home tab wallpaper and then select weather wallpaper for default
or
Go to settings tab > Personalize > Lock screen wallpaper and it will ask you if you want to use default
Thank you, but I have already tried this. If I click on "Weather wallpaper" I am taken to a select image dialog, exactly as if I had clicked on "Animated wallpaper". Should I think of a bug in the ROM (Xannytech)?

Actually I never noticed that before but you can still restore default by clicking on Weather wallpaper > albums > my device > my wallpapers and default wallpaper should be one of these
Ciao
I have the same problem...
And since I've used HD Wall to change the wallpapers on all of the tabs, I can't use your suggested solution to get back to the "default" wallpaper, which is no longer the regular default wallpaper but the one I made with HD Wall!
Any other ideas?
for me, i had to clear the values stored in the CachedBackgroundPath and HomeBackgroundPath registry entries, both of which are located under the key HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila. once cleared, i soft reset my device and the default wallpapers appeared again. hopefully this isn't the only/best method.

Eventhough this is not the easiest method, atleast it's a solution!

TY, saved my day
Another way - the default wallpapers are stored in \Windows and are named stwater_480_800 and stwater_800_480 ( for landscape). You can copy the first one to your Wallpapers folder and select it there.
I need help in disabling vibration when using the keyboard. I've tried to look for it in the forums and in the device settings but did not find anything. There is no personalization in the Settings tab.
I know the setting is in there somewhere. A search for "vibrate typing" turned up amongst others:

thanks for the links! but i think the HD2 US that i have does not have that remove vibration option in the settings. i tried to look for that option in all the settings but i could not find it. if it's there, then i definitely need to have my eyes checked.
Im running a generic HTC ROM on my T9193 model; go to the Settings tab (in Sense), then Personalize, then Vibration
Using Resco Registry go to
Hkey Local Machine > Software > HTC > ezsip
Add a new DWORD Value string and call it "VibrationEnabled" (without the quotes) and give it a value of 0.
Soft reset and BAM!
But this is with Resco Registry, with another reg edit program, i am not sure what kind of string you are adding, hopefully it is still called DWORD.

This is really useful, especially because it turns off only keyboard vibration. Thank you very much!
If anyone is still having issues with this problem there is an easier way without messing around with the registry. From any screen hit the Windows button to the right of the home button on the phone itself, not the touchscreen. Then find the "settings" icon and tap that. Next you will see a "personalize" tab and tap it, at the very bottom of those options you will see a "vibration" tab, tap that and you will be taken to a screen that allows you to change the settings for the keyboard, simply uncheck the box, tap done and your all set

I'm using the NRG ROM, and those instructions don't make any sense to me. Also, be aware that the stock TMOUS ROM (as I recall, I didn't use it long), does not give access to the standard "Settings" icon except via the Sense tab.

You are correct, on a stock ROM if I remember right you have to go to Settings>Menu>All Settings>Personal>Imput I think it has been a little while since I used any Windows Mobile ROMs now.
Registry hack worked for me.
Would be interesting to determine impact on battery life.
TMOUS-Sense Vibration Settings
This is an old thread but there was a recent reply. For the T-Mobile HD2 with a stock ROM amd/or the Sense overlay, go to the Settings tab, select Personalize, select Vibration and then uncheck the box. However, this did not turn off vibration for the Swype keyboard.
If you have another ROM, then these settings may not be available via this method. BSB Tweaks has settings to turn off/on vibration for HTC apps and calculator vibration. Of course, the registry editing will work. I have found the Resco registry editor to be easy and useful.
