just wondering, and i've searched alot of the forums, but i cant seem to find any advice on it.. i downloaded the WRCX3 rom.. and the htc time screen is set to army time (24hrs) can you fix that to set just at the 12 hour times? i hate looking at the screen and it says 13:55 lol instead of 1:55 can anyone help! thanks!
settings/Regional Settings
go to the time tab along the bottom. click the down arrow in the "time style" box then click the up arrow in the drop-down menu. choose hh:mm:ss tt or h:mm:ss tt and you will have a twelve hour clock!
THANKS!
wow! thanks! i never knew about the regional settings! thank you very much

Start menu --> settings --> system --> backlight, "Battery Power" tab, and configure preferred settings.
Also ... Start menu --> settings --> power, "Advance" tab, and configure your preferred settings.
Hope this helps
Yeah I figured it out for some reason the option wasn't under my settings.

Good for you. Just curious, where was that option to configure your backlight, if it wasn't under "Settings"?
Well I installed advance configuration tool and i guess it got rid of it or something. But its under battery setting with that program.

Interesting ... all long as you safely figured it out, that's all that counts
HKCU\ControlPanel\Backlight\QKeyLedTimeout = 30 (DWORD decimal)

Try and look here:
Settings --> Menu on the bottom right corner --> All Settings --> System --> Regional Settings.
I chose Italy in the Region tab, and in the Time tab I chose in Time Style HH:mm:ss and then moved both AM and PM to blank.
Try!
Ah, very very good!
Thanks!

hello all you hackers and chefs!
got a quick question. everytime my brother heads out on the road, his main gripe with the touch pro 2 (official winmo 6.5 rom) is that it automatically changes his time zone as he moves on down the road. he needs to run his log book on east coast time zone only. the phone keeps updating the weather , gps location (obviously) and then the time zone. as long as the "my location" option remains in the clock setting area, this phone will continue to update the weather, gps location (obviously) & time zone. anyone know how to disable this function? In the words of my brother, "if i need to know the weather where i'm at, i'll just stick my damn head out the window of my truck. make this damn phone stop changing time zones!"
somebody please lend me a helping hand!!!??? PLEASE!!

Hello,
Did you check in phone/menu/options/time zones ... if it is unticked?
You can also disable the HTC Location services in the settings.

not quite sure what you meant.
i have been all thru this phone trying to find the "magical setting" to disable this for him with no luck. he is on a long haul right now and i would love to give him the steps needed to resolve this for him.
to clear up anything for everyone wanting to help..... we have removed all cities except cincinnati, oh. from the weather area. the "my location" stays on; regardless. any other pointers?
You may be able to fix this with a mortscript...
i just found a command line tool to adjust the time zone.
maybe it will work on that phone and do something useful?
its at the mortscript examples...

go to setting>personal>phone>cdma or gsm services (im on sprint so it says that)>time synchronization>get settings & uncheck time synchronize with mobile network then go to clocks & alarms then set it for the time zone u need
If he is using Manila 2.5, then the easiest way is:
Tap on the clock and tick the city he wants as Home (this will automatically untick "My Location"). If his home town isn't already in the list, just add it by tapping "Add City".
It really is that easy
Keep on truckin' dude!
ok we found it
WE found how to disable it but it does reset if you ever soft reset the phone. thanks for all the help guys...

That doesn't stick either! Every reset it will go back to my location - I also did the regedit under hkcu/software/htc/manilia... mylocation and set to 0 - didn't work!

I don't know if it's with all 6.5 roms but in the nrg jun22 21xx rom, gsm services isn't an option anymore.

That also didn't work for this rom - including the option to prevent all apps from using location service.
How do I get to the All Settings? All I can get into is the settings tab on home page and on start page. I cant find All Settings and Today.
Please help!
Thanks
Settings at home page > Right soft key (menu) >all settings
Oh Thanks. That was simple.
Herez another one..
Is there a stop watch/timer for HD2?
Well, there isn't one by default. But if you give a search for stop watch or timer in the forum, you can find couple of them.
I have tried, but could not find one. I'll try again.
Also, I don't know how I did this, but I changed some setting so that one my alarm sounds it doesn't show up on the screen and I cant snooze or dismiss it until I unlock screen and then click on notifications and then play with it.
I have the BSB tweaks. Do you think I played with something there? I can't figure out how to fix this..
Thanks so much for your help!
I have found a few timers!
Thanks!
I have no clue regarding the alarm issue. I think you might have to trace back what you have done to the phone.
Here's one if you haven't found it yet.
Thanks a lot!
for the alarm try this
settings menu all settings sounds and notifications notifications tab
change drop down to "reminders" and tick "shown on screen"
Thanks.. That oughta do it!
Looking for a way to keep the screen always on.
I run a team in one the support classes at BSB and use the phone for the live timing screens. On the Windows 6.5 phone I had last year it was easy to change this option. Can't find a way to do it in Android and it'll be a pain in the arse if I have to tap the screen every 10 seconds. I'd like it as a toggle switch/widget if possible. Did find an app but they want money for it.
Anyone got any ideas?

You can change the screen timeout in settings to 30mins...
Translated from spanish:
go to Settings - apps - development and there there is an option to keep the screen on.
The development option only works while phone is charging. Had noticed the option to change to 30 mins. But any way to do toggle switch/widget for it?
Cheers
