Hi everyone, I'm having a bit of trouble with my devices time keeper....
Ever since I changed the home tab clock, the regional settings don't seem to work. I like my clock to be in 24h format but all I get is bloody AM/PM!
I've tried to uninstall .cab and soft-reset back to original to no avail, and just wondered if anyone else had this problem or an idea of how to sort it?
Thanks in advance.
Time format...
What time format do you have set in your 'Regional Settings'? If they are set the way you want, but the time still displays in another format, the developer has coded the format within the application, so you won't be able to change it from the device settings
I have it on UK regional settings, when bought it was on US settings, but, having changed backwards and forwards it does'nt seem to like either.... I'll try with a few more regions and see what happens....
Sorted now.... for some reason it started to work when I changed the settings to another region, switched back to UK and all was fine

I've had my XDA II for a few months without a glitch, except this wierd thing that the clock always gets set back on hour earlier than system time whenever I activesync. This happened before and after upgrading the ROM, and on different machines.
What could be wrong?
Open Active Sync on your pc. Go to TOOLS and then OPTIONS. Remove the tick next to "Synchronize mobile device clock upon connecting".
I don't konw the reason behind this but I suppose this will solve the problem.
I'd suspect there's a conflict in your regional settings on either your PC or your PDA. Check both and set them to the same locale and see if that sorts it.
Cheerio
Thank you guys. I'll look for a conflict, otherwise the first thing should be a way of winging it.
1- Make sure you have the same Regional settings in both your PC and PPC
2- Make sure there is no differences in Daylight Saving Time
3- Make sure the clock on your PPC is set to home and not to visiting
Hi all. This is strange. Yesterday, everything was working fine. Today, none of my alarms are sounding (that's neither 'tasks' nor 'appointments')
I've checked the obvious stuff like whether the sound file is corrupted or not (it works fine and I even changed the default sound to play for alarms)
Even the normal pop up window isn't showing either when an appontment or task is due.
Has anyone got any advice - this is going to be a BIG problem for me if I can't solve it as I've got a very very (very) poor short term memory and need the alarms to remind me to do even the mundane things in my life
I tried creating a few test/new entries and they don't display or sound either
Thanks

Try this (check notifications) and use it to delete any duplicate notifications you have in the queue. When the notification queue gets too long it stops working, and alarms depend on the notification queue. You can then use the clear notifications program to help stopping it happening again if you like.
Thanks..
Hi shuflie - thanks for the tip. It made no difference, so I'm guessing it must be something more serious!
The good news...I tried same resolution
The bad news...it did not work
So...I did a hard reset and that solved the problem!
Hard reset - sorted it!
HI All - Yep, I had to hard reset mine too! The good news - it's all working fine now...
The bad news - one of the 'cabs' that auto loads as part of the O2 set up, wouldn't install ('something.cab does not exist') resulting in me having to call O2 to manually set up email/mms/internet conections.
I also don't seem to have 'o2 active' anymore (but maybe that's a good thing
Seem to have oodles more storage space too...but everthing is working fine
Wonder what's missing???
I've installed the new rom upgrade and wifi seems to be on all the time, while before it was only on when i accessed the web browser, and when i updated weather etc...
how can i fix this ?
So you turn WiFi off in comm managre and it still comes on?
I use G-Profile to controll what accesses what and when.

I had that too at first - very frustrating. Eventually I went into Comm Manager and set Airplane Mode which turns everything off. Then just selected Phone Mode and the Wi-Fi didn't come on any more (unless I selected it myself). Seems OK now.
Solution
New ROM comes with the WLanOnDemand feature disabled. Here is the solution cab. Works perfect on my TD2.

thanks mehmetkoksal, i'll try it out
edit: it worked now i got a question. there's an option that terminates the connection of not use like after 1 minute, 5 minutes in default windows. How do you change this ? i changed it, but i can't find it again. because it';s set to 1 minute, and i'd like it to have it at 5 minutes
Use Adv.Conf.Tools
There could be several ways of doing it. But simply download Advanced Configuration Tool v.3.3 and change this number to whatever you want under the tab "Network". This program is also very useful for a number of handy settings.
thanks for the app, but it did it through the windows settings, and wouldn't like to install an extra app just for changing this value
Today my Sprint Snap 511 popped up a dialog that asked me if i wanted to accept or reject a new firmware update. I'm happy with how the phone has been performing, so i rejected the update pending some research.
anyone have an idea what this was? is it winmo 6.5? some sort of minor update? how do i even get back to that dialog if i want to accept the firmware update?
I have the same question. Noone knows anything?

Firmware Update for Sprint Snap--->DO NOT DO IT!
I installed it, and while the phone seemed to work well at first, it does one thing that will render your phone almost useless.
You can no longer change your default ringer, even to one of the pre-installed ringers.
In fact, I cannot even set the phone to vibrate.
HTC will tell you to do a hard reset but it will not fix the firmware problem.
So DO NOT INSTALL THE FIRMWARE UPDATE!
It is not a WM6.5 update.
I saw someone post in another forum that after they did the firmware update they could not change their ringer and they also could not receive text messages. They could send text messages though. I'm definitely going to wait.
Does anybody have any of the old firmware that they can upload? this new firmware is just ridiculous.
I agree with Dr. Gizmo. DO NOT download this new firmware.
I have been noticing something odd with my yahoo! email service on my Snap. I used to be able to attach multiple pictures into one email message. Now, I can no longer attach pictures in my email message. If I want to send an image via email, I have to locate the file in my album, then click 'send in email.' This is extremely frustrating, as I can only send one message with one attached file at a time.
I thought by doing a reset of the factory settings this would remedy the solution. I was wrong! After backing up my files and defaulting all of the settings, now my ringer is stuck at the default option. I can change it from silent, to work, to normal. However, I can make no changes to the actual ringer, ie "standard2, melody, drums, etc, etc."
I was half asleep when I pressed "accept" when prompted the firmware update. I wish I had pressed "Decline."
DO NOT accept the firmware updates.
Does anyone know a work around? Is there anyway we can reverse the firmware updates?
I have the same problem as all of you and I feel like an idiot for accepting the update when it popped up on my phone on March 24. I cannot change my wallpaper to a picture of my own or change the main ring tones. I called HTC support and they told me they sent NO firmeware updates out and that I should hard reset the phone. Do not hard reset the phone as this DOES NOT correct the problem...which really scares me because if a hard reset does not work then what the heck will.
Does anyone know if there is a way to disable the update or undo it?
Also, if HTC did not send out the update, it might have been an update that windows sent out and they are to blame. This needs to be addressed and fixed soon. By the way Sprint, please don't tell people to hard reset the phone...That DOES NOT fix this error.
Please help anyone

PirateTD,
You should be able to change your homescreen background image (wallpaper) from the menu at the bottom of the htc homescreen.
The ringer won't change from anywhere
SnapJoeSnap
Nope..changing wallpaper overall is not working.. try to change the wallpaper to one of your personal pics and it will say "Unable to set picture as Home screen wallpaper."
it will say this no matter what picture you try to change it to and this DID NOT start until the windows update.
If you go under settings and click on homescreen and then change it under where it says background image, it will change it but it will not change it to what you select. I have selected multiple different images under here and it either stays the same or changes it to something TOTALLY different from what you selected and i have no idea but it wont let you pick a wallpaper now.
Please try this everyone and let me know what it does to ypu
Anyone have any idea how to get the old ROM prior to the update and how to install in on the phone..
Any help would be appreciated

Funny thing, this win mobile is... I went through start>settings>home screen and I CAN change the picture setting to whatever I like (it does not give me the error) BUT the image displayed won't change. If I go back to settings>home I can see that the change stuck, but the picture won't change even thou it looks like the wallpaper is 'refreshing'. I was sure I could and did as I rechecked before posting and I would get the "error..." message from settings>homescreen but not from HTC Home sliding panel AND I saw the diff pic in the wallpaper.
EDIT: Wait just a minute... I can't insert files into emails!!! What the...???

Yes it would be. Can anyone help us guys out?
Sorry I can not help you with uninstalling the firmware update, but I can tell you this the update if from neither HTC nor Microsoft it is a Sprint Firmware update. The word is the update that has caused problems for our phone was released in part to put an end to the practice of using the phones data services on our laptops. As much as I do not agree as to how Sprint has handeled this I understand their reasons with some people taking advantage of this ability to hog bandwith with torrent downloads, watching movies... So if you are one of these people thank you very much and as a Sprint user I do not want to see Sprints service affected like ATT's with not being able to make calls because everyone is using their IPhones. Get your self an aircard!
Ok I have found a few work arounds to the main ringer and the home screen picture issue.
The first work around the Home Screen Picture - thanks to the update above and a locked registery the settings panel no longer works... But if you use the Picture and Video app (included with the phone) to set your home screen back ground picture. Just open the image you want to use with the app and with the use of the "menu" you can set your home screen image there.
The main ringer is a little different but along the same lines. Making this change requires something along the lines of a ringtome manager that allows you to change the main ringer in it, and the phone does not come with one. However I did a trial version of Photo Contact Pro that had this ability. Now I did not care for Photo Contact Pro after trying it out but still it allowed me to change the main ringer while I had it on my phone. Now I can no longer change my main ringer because I uninstalled the App but then because it was a trial version it did not cost me anything. So if you really need to change your ringer once here is an option, however if you are one of those who wants to change their ringer on a regular basis, you will then have to find an app that will allow you to did this or wait until a fix is released.
As far as an email issue someone wrote about here you will need to double check your email account settings. I had problems sending emails from my phone and found the auto settings were not correct for the smtp (out going mail) server and I had to set them manualy...
Sprint finally released an update to the Snap s511, you can find it on the website. It fixes all the problems that the bad update caused
Hi guys,
I was wondering, whenever you run Android, does anything in the Windows OS change?
I only ask because I've noticed that I actually lose my time-settings, and my internet connection settings. For example, after running android, I couldn't send MMS-es, but I could use the internet. I had to run the automatic configurator again, and to get the appropriate carrier time again.
My e-mail settings were also gone. I had to do this again.
Anyone know why this happens? Or is it because these information is stored in the SD card and the SD card is changed somehow? Hmm.
I'm sorry that I cannot give You any solution, but I can confirm that it happens.
time change, corrupted data settings, g-alarm not triggering on time... You name it.
however, after some time with darkstone froyo 3.2 and hastarin 7.6 previously, now 7.7 I cannot see problems anymore. maybe it's just couple of first boots to android?
... anyway, I am using android 98% of time now, so I'm not bothered.
Normaly the android "automatic clock adjust" is on. change it in the clock settings to off and the clock in wm is ok
