Hello *@*,
I think the battery icon in the taskbar of my Touch HD is possessed by a demon or something. :-|
It is spontaneously disappearing every now and then - pressing the home button always brings it back at once, though. Also doing anything else that updates the taskbar brings it back to life. The disappearance seems completely random.
I can even switch off the battery icon completely with Schaps Advanced Config and display the clock instead. Which is disappearing just the same way. All other icons are behaving normally.
And before anyone suggests a hard reset - guess what happend right after the hard reset I did today, when the HTC booted up for the first time and before I did anything a all?
Right.
Any ideas?

Hmm, can you take your phone to a church and see if it acts up there?
J/K, well my battery icon only shows in the home screen. In other screens, it is replaced with by the little clock. I think that is normal. But it sounds like your battery icon disappears even in the home screen?
Do you (or did you) have anything installed that changes the icons? If you installed the green battery icon cab, did you install the certificate included in that zip file before installing the battery icon cab?
It's weird, that even after a hard reset it would still do it.

At this point, I am considering a bath in holy water.
The vanishing takes part on the homescreen, or rather all the touchflow screens. Installing different battery icons does not help. ArielBattery works, though. It seems to me as if the process responsible for drawing the taskbar icons is "forgetting" to update just the battery icon sometimes. I am quite sure this didn't happen when the phone was new - but a hard reset didn't help.
I had the same problem (I have color top bar icons and green battery icon), but a soft reset fixed it.
You can try uninstalling anything related to that.
Then Soft-reset.
After that, try installing the cabs I installed.
Soft-reset again and see if that works.
Note: Before installing the battery icon tab, make sure you install the sdkcertificate cab included or else you'll have problems with it.
I found all these cabs here in the forum, but I'll post them here for you in case you want to try. You can try just the battery cab (but first sdkcert cab) or also that try the color top bar cab to change the other icons as well.
use magicbutton, its freeware - its a great task switcher and has an optional great power indicator, which is a simple 1 pixel line across the top of the screen... so when its fully charged, you see a white line across the whole screen at the top. If its running low, its not as long and shrinks towards the left hand edge by the start menu.
Much easier to see at a glance than the power icon which appears and reappears at will sometimes!
mine does this i tihnk it is normal but i dont get a little clock it just disappears and nothing replaces it?
pls !! the warrantty will not cover any kind of water contact.. even holy !

So. I am runing DCD 3.0.1 rom with Telus - works great!!! and the ICS versus modem tethering gives me unlimited dats...blah blah blah, it's all good. However, somehow, and trust me I have retraced my steps, I managed to get the clock to display two line detail. The date on top and the time on bottom in the top task bar. HTC home also gives us a battery meter while on the today screen. Well it seems that on the today screen I have the time and battery icon trying to display at the same position on the bar. This causes an interesting white blob in my task bar. I would rather just have the battery meter, and get rid of the two line clock thing. I have tried to enable and disable the show clock in all programs option. But I cannot figure out how this two lined clock appeared and after endless searching I cannot find any settings anywhere that would help. If anyone has any ideas, or better yet has had the same problem, let me know. Id rather not have to hard reset.
I see there is no battery icon at the top, however when I turned my phone on and all the options were default I had a small battery indicator at the top which has now gone
Anyone know how to get it back?
Disable the clock at the top.
How to disable the clock on the top ?
I need a battery status icon!!
Start -> Settings -> Clock and Alarm -> More tab
does it only apply on some panel / desktop?
I'm using SPP mobile Panel. Even if I disable the clock, the clock still shows.
Change the panels once... I did and then it changed!
Or if you'd like you can have both the battery icon as well as the clock showing up all the time on all windows. I tweaked those settings using the advanced configuration tool.
After I use the advanced configuration tool and the XperiaTweak2, would it be ok if I uninstall it? Would my settings remain or do I have to keep those softwares to keep the settings as well?
How did you manage to show BOTH battery and time icons? I have advanced config tool, and battery icon is enabled on both title and tray bar, but still only time is showing.. I have soft reset it many times as well.. For now I've been using the VistaHide Battery Gauge http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vistahide-battery-gauge-v1-1-1.html.. Works great, but enoying that you have to run it/activate/install it every time you soft reset..

Just put the vistahide.exe into windows/startup
Then vistahide will start with your phone

If you want the default battery icon, you can get it with SPB PocketPlus. But I'm not sure if it IS the Windows-Icon or just an imitation. I believe the latter - but it looks exactly the same.

But is it possible to show both time and battery with the original panels? Thnx for the tip, btw.

Yes with SPB PocketPlus this is definitely possible. The battery icon will appear left of your connectivity icons, the clock will stay where it is. I don't think you can have both icons just with Windows, at leats there is definitely NO way to do it with the settings accessible to the normal user - if it's possible, then through a registry hack.
Its an imitation i think, i installed another battery skin but SPB PP still shows the old one.
Hi!
Whenever i turn my Touch HD around while viewing a website with opera, opera minimizes itself and takes me back to TF3D...
Can anyone help me with this?
I get this too mate. Think we need to upgrade opera. I've noticed some updated versions kicking around on here somewhere but can't seem to find the latest version!
anyone point us in the right direction? thanks in advance.
This has been solved here million times. Uninstall colored status bar icons and battery and you won't have problem with opera.
I have a coloured icon bar installed and sometimes have this problem. I've found a way to stop it happening the last three times it's happened though without needing a reboot - here's a post about it. I'm not sure what's causing it or if it's just pure luck the last three times I've stopped it happening. I guess time will tell.

Then you can install sdkcerts and re-install it and still not have a problem.
i had conflicts with a few installs... forgotten which but it wasn't the coloured icons bar (htc top bar)
It is actually the colored battery icon which causes trouble. Darklord battery icon causes it as well, but somehow it works sometimes ...
hi,
although this is not a fix, it's a workaround that works on mine.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3096009#post3096009
So here's what I have found out on my device:
- I've got the darklord colored icons including the battery icon, however, I skippped the 4th installation step involving the manual copying of the bluetooth icons ;
- Opera Mobile works without trouble when switching into landscape mode, unless ActiveSync is still running, for example, you have just disconnected from your desktop computer but forgot to close the ActiveSync application on your HD.
For the rest, I have no trouble at all with the darklord colored icons. So if you want to have colored icons, go for the latter I guess ...

Edit 1: added link to the darklord icons
Opera closing on rotation
THANKS for the link Georgeous2008 The color icons are great. But I can't figure out how to get the bluetooth icons to show. Do I save them in some registry file? Could you shed a little light? Appreciate your help.
Thanks

I have the newest cyanogenmod 4.2.5 but after a while of my phone being on i notice that i cant pull down my notification bar and even if i press menu from the home screen and press notification it wont come down. Also, i have noticed that my screen while time out and go black in the middle of me scrolling. Can anyone suggest a way to fix this? Thanks
try to reflash
Thanks! but how exactly do i reflash? i just learned how to do all of this maybe 2 days ago so i'm still really new to everything.
Did you install any lock-screen apps? I noticed that when I installed those, sometimes my notification bar would get stuck.
On the other hand, you can reflash by reinstalling Cyanogens rom.
For some reason the graphic for HTC People - HTC Calander and HTC Music have disappeared in the start menu and shows a blank white window with its blue border. Even though this isn't a major problem I've set a Quick Link from the home screen to music and showing that white window loses the eye candy. Also the slider icons are working fine so its not a problem there. I'm sure if I reset the ROM it will fix it but I was wondering if there was another way to do this instead of having to lose everything and start again...
Thanks in advance !!
I dont know a solution, but partly the same icon problem here; HTC People icon in white/blue, Calendar icon okay, Music icon not there.
So you're not alone Ashley
Just reinstalled the ROM and its all back to normal, guess we couldn't fine a workaround no worries though !
any fixes without reflash.
did you try Change Start Menu Icons?
