Hi All,
Very weird one this, I hard reset due to installing that virus (3d shoot 'em up thing here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650393 ) and have come across a strange issue within Sense.
When I press "Settings" in the start menu (or slide across to it within Sense) I get the HTC settings menu, so far so good.
When I press "All Settings" under 'Menu' it opens the 'Connections' window, not the standard Windows settings, if I close the 'Connections' window, it returns me to the HTC settings menu.
Anyone know where I might be able to change the link, or at least find what the 'Connections' link is, so I may track it down please?
sorry. didn't fully read your post.
Half-asleep.
Please ignore me this time.

No problem.
I've managed to display the "All Settings" icon, albeit from within the Start Menu using the registry:
hklm -> security -> shell -> startinfo - change the "hidesettings" to 0.
I've found from the above, that "cplmain.cpl,19" seems to reference 'Connections', so pointing my search toward that at the moment.
Unless anyone else has any assistance?
Just noticed your post and having suffered also at the hands of the 3d terrorist bastards I thought I'd check mine......guess what.......all settings displays just fine, everythings there and opens up, trying to get out of it though is a different story, pressing "ok" just causes a pause, screen flicker and then same settings screen to reload.
Another problem I'm having since that virus is neither the htc music player or windows media player work at all.
ringtone doesnt play either.
Is that another hard reset I hear approaching?

Unfortunately, I've had to hard reset mine.
It now works fine, maybe just needed another kick!
Same, 2nd hard reset and all is well........ for now!

These stories are tragic disappointments... I cannot believe everything that has surfaced from this TROJAN program. It's unbelievable... because here we thought that such a thing would NEVER happen to any of us.
I think more attention should be paid towards this issue... it's a rather SERIOUS inconvenience for a lot of people.
Hmmm not had any issues with this trojan other than it dialling out, although I did switch off the phone as it was half way through it's hilarious attempt at pissing me off. Media player is fine, sms is fine, email fine, rss reader, shares, weather, in fact the phone is now running better than ever
One things for sure, I reckon open market will be hit hard by this, once bitten twice shy so to speak.

Nah, I'm a glutton for punishment.
I've learnt a hell of a lot about the registry on this thing that I wouldn't have gone near otherwise!
So since day one of getting my HD2 the first thing I installed was Cookies Home Tab and Editor. Since day one I had been experience lags and my HD2 seemed really twitchy. Especially the "Sleep Lock Screen of Death" was a constant annoyance. Well I would like to post that I have unistalled the CHT & Editor and for about three days now have not had the lockscreen of death or have it locked up during SMS's. SirPhunkee suggested that i disable the recent documents tab and I think that has help out as well. I still use the stock SD card with almost 1,000 songs and a few pictures and a lot of games installed and it is working like a champ. If you guys are beginning to get frustrated with your phones...give this a try and let me know what's up! Thanks
No offense to Cookie Monster by any means. He does great work and I did have the lates cookies installed. 1.7.1
post in the cookie thread also try unchecking timeout its on the bottom left corner of the today screen.
settings, menu, all settings, Home, Items, uncheck home timeout

Thanks Jimmy...I'd completely forgotten I'd taken that step a long time ago, and is probably why I don't get the SOD, even though I'm running CHT and CHTEditor...in fact I've seen no noticible slowdown at all since I've been running them (at least a week now).
toreone, if you find that is already unchecked, run it for a day or two more, see if you get anymore SOD's, then if not, throw CHT back on there, (double check to make sure the home timeout is still unchecked), and see if it remains stable then.

Turns out it had been unchecked for a while I had read about that a while back and did I had just done a factory restore and was not sure If i had went back and unchecked it. Turns out it was uncheck. I will continue running without cookies for another couple day then throw cookies back on.
I thought i was getting smarter...i was downloading and installing stuff with no problems until this clock program. Can some one tell me how to make it work please. I am running cht's newest version but can't get the clocks to show up...it shows that they are installed...but can't find where they are and how to make them work. Help please...thank you
It would probably help to know what clock app you are trying to use.
It should be in the advanced settings in CHT...there's a drop-down list there to choose whatever compatible clock you have installed.
Thank you I will look in the advanced setting and see if that helps.
I have cookies 1.8.5 and there is no advanced drop menu I can find. I'm trying to use the clock called "the bull C3". From forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=670136

Ok well I'm running an older version of CHT (1.7) so I don't know if it's in the same place, but I access it by hitting the "menu" soft button on the home screen, then choosing "edit home layout". Once it enters the editing mode there, you should find the "advanced" button in the bottom right.
Ok...I found the advanced menu right where you said it was..but the clocks I installed don't show up in the options...do I have to install the cab file in a special place to get it to show up in the advanced menu?

Hmm...it was my understanding that whichever clock you have installed (I think you can only have one "actively installed" at a time) would show when you picked the appropriate option in the list...like "analog 1" or "analog 2"
Try picking each of the options that do show in the clock list, and see if any of them are the one you think is installed
Nope that didn't work...it's not there...I must be doing something wrong but I can't figure out what. I really appreciate all your help. I must be retarded or something.

lol no, I just can't say for sure how to choose them in 1.8.5...you might have better luck finding someone who knows the answer by posting in the thread the clocks are in
Hey I don't know what happened but I lost the standered anolog clock, so I restarted my phone and the one I installed just showed up!!! It must be a miracle from GOD!!! Like I said before Thanks alot for your help...thank you, thank you, thank you. You must have willed it onto my phone with ESP or something. YOU DA' MAN!!! I have never had so much trouble with an app.

lol I'm glad it works for you now, I know how frustrating that kind of thing can be. Had you done a soft-reset after you first installed the clocks? Sometimes changes in WM just need to be kick-started with a 2nd reboot.
Yeah I tried to re-boot it several times after installing it...then I uninstalled it and went on here asking for help...then I installed again and re-booted several times during our discussion....then on one re-boot the standard analog clock disappeared...so one more re-boot and magically the one I installed showed up. Now I'm just praying it doesn't have a virus or something. You don't happen to know of a anti-virus for the hd2 do you? Thanks again for all your help.

Nope...I know that there are some AV apps out there for winmo, but I've never felt compelled to test or use any. I'd have a hard time believing that your issue was casued by anything like that though. I'd suspect it's more likely related to the fact you installed all the clock cabs at once, but that's just a guess.

In Marketplace look up 'Lookout'. Its free and works great. But if you are on the stock ROM still dont use it. I had some issues when I was on my original ROM and it froze it to the point I had to hard reset. But it includes antivirus, Malware scan, firewall, etc. Plus it has a nice feature where if its stolen you can remotely (from any PC) 'NUKE' your phones contents. You can also pinpoint its location and go get it. GL!

After installing the clocks cab. then go into edit mode press the old clock till the remove tab appears, then hold the empty sapce till add new tab.appears and select analog 1 from dropdown menu, soft reset and new clock should show. In fact you can get 2 different clocks to display-- one for day and one for night.
how do you get one clock for day and another for night?

Most of the clocks for the 1.8.5 it says you have to uncheck sense install/restart your phone/then click sense back on...yeah pretty complicated other wise it will not show up...usually a reboot will take care of it...As far as two different clocks..I am pretty sure that is not possible...only one at a time...
check out this screen shot from the new Desire HD. The notification bar looks like it might have a task manager built-in
Everything looks standard to me.
GPS acquiring signal icon, 3g/evdo/whatever icon, battery, time, calendar, missed calls.
Places, market, settings, possibly vpn off to the side.
Don't see any hint of any kind of task manager.

when you pull down your notification bar on the evo its takes up the full screen. there's no app list like that. and that's what I'm talking about. And iphone like task manager

Ok, is it that hard to use the applications manager in froyo? Just put a widget on the home screen for it.
An iphone like task manager? Why not just buy the iphone? The evo is what it is and what it is not is an iphone.
watch the video on engadget, its not a task manager just a list of recently used apps. same list you will find by long pressing the home key
Dont mean to step on anyones toes but to me it looks like a recent apps list more then anything else.
Lets not forget that task managers arnt needed with android it performs its own app killing when needed. If you read up on how andriod works you will see its better when its left to do its job. So unless the HTC crew has surcumed to idioucy then I highly doubt they plan to include a task manager.

Wasn't going off. If it came off as such then I apologize. It's hard to make calm statements on a forum since the written word can be interpreted in many ways from it's intention. Take from it what you will.
Anyways, it gets old hearing about people wanting "iphone this" and "iphone that" on their evos. Their must have been something you liked about the evo to buy it so why change it into something it's not is all I was trying to get at.
The previous posts described it better than I did though, it looks like a recently used apps list.
nevermind.
Tension in the thread.
I like that tho.

No, everything doesn't look standard in that screenshot. It has the recently used apps list (aka task manager) built into the notification pull down. Just another way of accessing it, rather than having to long press the home button.
Nice feature/addition to the new Sense imo.

The term task manager is being thrown around but not being used properly.
You can't call it a task manager if it's a list of recently used apps. A task manager manages active tasks, it doesn't list recently/previously used tasks/apps.
Take windows for example, when you pull up the built-in task manager (ctrl+alt+delete) do you see a list of recently used apps/tasks in there? Nope, you see active tasks and processes.
Again, I don't see any hint of a task manager and everything looks standard.

Fine, it's not a task manager. It's a recently used (possibly still running) list of apps. However, that is not "standard" for Sense to have a recently used apps list in the notification pull down area seeing as how it is a new feature. It may become (a) standard among Sense, but it isn't yet.
If it was standard, I could go to any cellphone store and look at any/all of the HTC phones running Sense, pull down the notification bar and see list of recently used/running apps. Not gonna happen....
Someone is a little pissy. Anyway, it does look like a recent app's list - I would like this more than holding down the home button
Edit: I guess it's been confirmed it's the recent app's list

I meant standard as in everything that was there that already exists in sense.
Again I was looking for a task manager not a recently used apps list. The list I can't deny is not standard. But if people really wanted it I'm pretty sure it would be available ota as part of a new update.
What I'm more interested in is the resource impact this "new" sense version will have.

Someone needs to stop making screenshots and go to lunch.
A week or two ago I started getting this strange pop-up that I've never seen before. I've clicked on the back button which makes it vanish, and when hitting the task switcher button it disappears. I had removed everything I installed over the last month and still it's here.
Any idea what this is?

Maybe scan your phone with an app like CM Security. See if that helps.
If it were me and that didn't work I would wipe my phone and reinstall the OS (Make sure you know what you're doing if you choose this)

Never seen this app before, scan through your apps under installed applications and remove anything you don't want or need. This is not an app that comes with the system that I'm familiar with. Best to get rid.. If it is something normal, I certainly have never seen it.

I've scanned my phone with just about every security app in the play store and nothing, but I think fury figured it out!
I couldn't find which app was displaying the daily summary but I do have TouchPal installed. I did a search on this and the timeline matches. I too couldn't find screenshots of others but timelines and descriptions are dead on! I'm going to remove TouchPal and go back to Swype (I hope the bugs are fixed!) and see if it goes away.
Thanks everyone!
Hahaha I feel like an idiot! I just got the daily summary again, I scrolled to the bottom and in small letters it says "Powered by TouchPal" haha
Glad to help.
