I am a frequent traveller, I travel a lot between Eastern and Central Time zones.
When my PPC was on WM5 it used to Auto update the time no matter which state I used to be in.
But ever since I updated my PPC to WM6 the AutoUpdate of clock stopped working. Can someone help me out
i did find a registry entry which I used.. I do timezone tab in Phone settings and it is checked to autoupdate and still the phone is unable to update the time from network.
anyhelp is greatly appreciated
You are seriously wondering why you are not getting full functionality out of a bootlegged OS?

I can't help with the WM6 question...but I am curious how you managed this with the WM5 OS. I have an 8125 and apparently a similar travel pattern. My device NEVER updates the time based on the network. How did you set this up when you were still running 5?
I am interested in how you got it working as well. Mine did not update once from the east coast to the west coast. Not even when making a call.
well i have a reg tweek that will change the time when you enter a diff time zone via the network...hope this is what your looking for....
Timezone and time update
In the branch HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting Change the value of the Key "ShowTimeZonesPage" to value of 1 (dword). Close your registry editor (no reset required) and tap START-SETTINGS-PHONE, there should be a new tab where you can automatically set the phone to get time and timezone information from the network. Really useful for me as I do extensive travelling. Tested on WM5

thats why this is called xda-developers. we'll find a way to make it work.

Yes! Its there on WM6 too!!!! Dont know if it actually works, yet to travel in a different timezone.
I have had it enabled in my registry in WM5 and WM6. It's NEVER worked for me. I change phones a lot so I'm always taking out the SIM card. When I do this, the battery comes out and it loses time/date.
I'd be curious on the details as well because I've never heard anyone that actually had it functioning!

I tested this tweak and it seems to work when I initiate flight mode and then turn flight mode off (which will be great when I land on the plane...the time will adjust automatically).
Will this update periodically check the time to ensure it's sync'd or will this only work when the phone initially communicates with the network?
acording to microsoft list of bugs in all from aku1 to aku3 this feature never worked and they never fixed it..... since crossbow has several parts of old aku roms my guess is it does not work either..... this feature is also carrier dependent if you manage to make it work.

My carrier supports it. My Wizard never did with the ROM hack or with Crossbow. So if it worked, I'd love to find out how! This at least makes me feel good that I'm not missing out on something...

upon doing some more reading aparently some aku3 roms now support it!!!
but in a diferent way. here it is;
Receiving Network Identity and Time Zone(NITZ) information is currently unsupported.
This feature was incorrectly documented to be supported by Windows Mobile Version 5.0 AKU3.0 in Windows Mobile Version 5.0 Documentation Release. NITZ is currently supported at Radio Interface Layer(RIL) only.

OK, so apparently this functionality is in fairly high demand...and since we're talking about WWAN devices, hasn't someone written an app that will periodically ping a time server (like PC OS's) and update the time on the device?
I am NOT a developer, so maybe I'm missing something obvious here. But it doesn't seem like a complicated concept for sure.
registry wizard does this
the xda-developers registry wizard allows you to make the registry tweak "show time zone s page" in both WM5 and WM6,- this put the time zone tab in phone-options, but the feature never worked for me. I called my provider to confirm if they supported it but the help desk was clueless- Would love to see if anyone got this working.
Confirmed working on my 8125 through the Cingular network. Before the hack I had to initiate a physical active sync through USB or manually change the time. Now if I go and change the time to say an hour ahead within 5 -10 seconds the time reverts back automatically.

Here is a quote and a link to a program I found on the Cingular/HTC forum:
"How hard would it be to go to the clock settings and select the "visiting" button and select the time zone you are in?
Works for me.
There are options for atomic clock server time sync. But that won't address time zone issues.

"
I don't go out of my own time zone, so I don't really have any issues with it. The registy hack has worked just fine on my 8125.
Hi,
I'd like to create a script or application to enable Wifi, update manila weaher (or do any other operation e.g. download mails, etc) and finally disable Wifi.
If a can product a mortscript or a command line app for this, I could use it with Wifilocations to define rules for home gsm cell, workplace gsm cell (where wifi available).
Are there any ideas or solutions for this?
Yes, I used search button, but didn't find anything.
Thanks!
I'm pretty sure mortscript can do this. You might want to read up on it.
Hi
Search at pocketpc[dot]ch for "zeitgesteuertes-wetterupdate".
There is a complete MortScript solution.
But I'm still searching for the command-file.
Any solution? c# code, mortscript, shortcut with params?

I can try to program a little app for you, but I need to know what version of manilla you have. (do you mean you want a tool to activate wifi, update the weather tab and then desactivate wifi, yes ?)

It only acivates wifi (that's not difficult to achieve). The problem is how to force weather update...
Hello all,
I am a year-long htc blackstone user, flashing miri roms etc, a heavy user.
So I bought this week my wife the touch2 (mega). Now I have some issues with this one. For me these would not be that much of a problem - I am fluent with stopping data connections - but we are talking about not such a fluent user now...
I already installed the owner info patch.
Apparently we live that far in countryside, that the home page weather does not work. Google location services is configured, google maps finds our location - but weather not. No location at all, just tells that the weather data is not available.
Second thing... no hdtweak or kaisertweak for that yet? I'd like to configure the internet (gprs/3g) to deactivate automatically when not in use. This is not found in the settings anywhere. Using NoData or such is just not practical. The stopping data connection would be to save battery.
Third.. sense tabs. In the settings there is no possibility to change the order of the tabs :-O
So, the first thoughts...
abe
touch2
I too, recieved the touch2 3 days ago. Need to sort out how to send sms in groups, like my old nokia n95 this could be done without any problems. The weather updates are costing me network charge, beware! Been searching the net for this sms software and most are not what i am looking for.. Anyone out there to help? Would reflashing the phone rom with a custom one work? As the phone is locked to t-mobile I would like to dismiss the logo start up's and the t-mobile web settings. Help anyone.. Please. Thanks You.
For the wather map to work, you must enable the location services that can be found in the settings.
needless to say, I have activated the location services.
it just must be the fact that we are living so far in the countryside.
I have on my blackstone a newer rom and manila - the weather shows perfectly our home location, a small village of 3500 inhabitants.
I wonder if that version on touch2 would work in a city.
abe
hey guys i aint a touch 2 owner yet....
but to answer one of your questions anssibragge
there is a thread made up for touchFlo2d 2.0 themes and there is an app that has the ability to change tabs around/ disable tabs
this may work for your touch 2
its made by Twolf and i think its called ReFlush but i could be wrong
the thread is in the windows themes under dev/hacking
hope this helps.....

Hello,
This is my first post and require some expertise.
I'm new to all this, so if I could get some help.
I did a search and could not find an answer to my following problems.
#1: I am hoping that someone can help me find my answer with a constant message that pops up and stating that "Windows Live Hotmail is temporarily unavailable. Please try again."
I have Hotmail as my email and I have installed the Core Cell Series ROM...not sure if that has anything to do with my problem.
I have full four bars "H" reception and WiFi is also connect...no problem with internet.
I have the Send/Receive email automatically unchecked within Mail Setup.
I can't figure out why I am receiving this message every minute!
#2: How can I delete/remove the current Windows Live in order for me to install Windows Live 11 from Marketplace?
#3: Tried to install CoOkie.HomeTab v1.8.5, but Editor not functional...why?
I ended up uninstalling it and kept CHT v1.7.1.2.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
William
#3: Did you use CHT editor v1.8.5? It worked for for me along with the CHT 1.8.5.
I installed v1.8.5, but when I go to edit the program it isn't possible.
On the home screen I go into menu and CoOkie's Home Tab Editor displays an error screen: "An unexpected error has occurred in CHTEditor.exe.
Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information"
Details displays:
CHTEditor.exe
NullReferenceException
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow.Check Version()
at
CHTEditor.CHTEditor_MainWindow..ctor()
at CHTEditor.CHTEditor.Program.Main(String[]
args)
Can someone please explain what went wrong and how can I correct this?
Please more suggestions!
Thanks.
when i installed cht 1.8 mine too didnt work with the menu - cht editor, but in start menu it worked fine.
Turns out there is a mistake in the registry (well, there was for me, worth a look)
get a reg editor and browse to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila
find
CHTE.Path
and make sure there isn't a double \\ at the start.
It should read
\Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe
mine said
\\Program Files\CHTEditor\CHTEditor.exe
get rid of the extra \ and it will work.
Cookie also recommends you remove 1.7 before installing 1.8. (i think, not read the thread in a week.)
CHT problem resolved!
I reinstalled CHT Editor 1.8.5.1 and now it is working correctly.
The 2 other issues are still a current problem.
I'm now receiving this following message: "Voice Command has quit due to low memory. Close running programs and try again"
I do not have any programs running and I have not selected the Voice Command function.
Can someone please explain.
Now that CHT v1.8.5 is installed, I am unable to change the main wallpaper...there was no problem with CHT v1.7.
How do I remove the previous CHT v1.7?
Help please?
Still looking for some assistance regarding the pop up message "Voice Command has quit due to low memory. Close running programs and try again"
According to running CleanRam program 271.23 MB Current Free Memory.
I do not have any other programs running.
The message "Windows Live Hotmail is temporarily unavailable. Please try again." has resolved itself and is no longer appearing.
Thank you samsamuel for you response!
Thanks!
Sorry to be so persistence, but I need some assistance with these issues.
I have cleanRam & Clear Temp and run these programs often to clear up as much as possible.
I have read that going into the Task manager and closing some of the tasks will help, but I don't know how to go about it. Once I have opened the program, I don't know what to do and which programs can be closed.
Can someone please give a step by step guide on how to do this?
Thank you.
Advise needed.
Current info:
T-Mobile HTC HD2
Manilla version 2.5.20132227.0
Core Cell Series WWE
1.8.5 CoOkies Home Tab
Radio version 2.10.50.28_2
I'm located in the Boston, MA area and would like to know if a better radio will help my current data signal. Most of the time it is on edge and my wifi signal isn't very strong either. I could be right next to my router and still have problem staying connected.
Still need advise regarding the Voice Command problem too.
Thanks!

umm if you dont use voice command
dissable voice comand in settings/menu/all settings /personal / buttons, and you should be good to go!? lol i never got that but i have disabbled long press send key for voice command

Dragion, I'm in Providence and having great results with 2.11.50.20. Battery is good, signal is great.
Thank you for all the replies!
jiggahj,
I actually need to use voice command with both my BT headset & BT handsfree in my car...disabling it is not an option for me.
watcher64,
I went into CHTeditor and changed the wallpaper mode to "Regular" and still was unable to change it...not sure why I can't do this?
watcher64 & mikeeed,
I would like to try both of your suggestions, but don't know how to go about it.
The ROM I currently have came with the radio 2.10.50.28_2, so I haven't changed it. I'm currently have been getting better reception lately with "H" connections when I turn off the wifi...plus wifi seems to be more stable.
My battery last all day, since I charge my HD2 each and every night. I have both BT & wifi on most of the time...I've never went below 20% even with heavy web surfing.
Should I stick with this radio version or try the ones you guys suggested?
I would need to be directed in how to change it and I would greatly appreciate the help in doing so!
Please keep the suggestion coming...!
Dragion, try this to get your wallpaper back:
Remove the data found at HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeBackgroundPath (don't delete the key, just the valuedata)

That's an entry in the registry in your phone, you'd need a registry editor to be able to make the change. There's several free ones available here, I personally use PHM Regedit. However, if you're not familiar with doing things in the registry it's something you'll need to be very careful with.
@watcher, even though he's trying to make the change in CHT (as opposed to using an HDWall cab), that reg value can still clear up "stuck" backgrounds where the image won't display at all...doesn't always work, but it might be able to clear this up.

Agreed , but I was just not sure what he was NOT seeing was the sense background, it does not change when you change the wallpaper from the home settings, if you have CHT installed ...
Thanks guys for all the advice.
watcher64,
Yes, I'm only trying to change the wallpaper on the home screen.
I had no problem changing it with CHT 1.7...only with CHT 1.8.5.
Nothing is selected in CHTeditor.
I did not install HDwall cab...unless it is part of Core Cell Series ROM.
I manage to change the Today screen, but nothing else.
Lock screen & Home screen are both the same.
The background with 1.8.5 is black with weather.
sirphunkee,
I do have PHM Regedit installed, but don't understand the process on what to do.
Can you guide me step by step?
I'm wondering if the Core Cell ROM conflicts with CHT 1.8.5?
Thanks again for the help.
Hey, I would like to add my town to the list - town called Pardubice, Czech republic. I don´t want to use it only from function "my location via wifi hot spot or gsm". I would like to know how weather is there even if I am not there and without permanent internet connection..
Could somebody help me to fix this problem? Thanks for answers
Forgive me if this is an obvious reply, but have you tried going to the weather tab? And adding it by choosing the option "add location??" when you do this it becomes a fixed location on your phone. If your city is not available in the list, you could try to find something in the near vicinity of your town. On older roms, the great program of Andreas Falke weather database editor could add some new city's but with the new programmes, I don't know of any new editors that could do this.
goodluck there
Joey

You need Weather City Editor App. from JVH3. This allows you to add custom towns/locations to the HTC list. I found the App. on this site, and followed the instructions in the thread so it can't be difficult...
The App. is made for larger devices than the Mini so some of the dialogs are a bit tricky to hit, but this App. worked. Other ones I tried didn't. Plus, once you've done it, you don't need to do it again. Unless you upgrade the ROM of course.
Find the thread here: JVH3 Weather City
Thank u a lot, working great!!!
