I am experiencing a rather frustrating problem here. When I change the volume in HTC's audiomanager, it appears a grey column on the left side of the screen (see pic) instead of the green overlay in the middle of the screen as it should be.
What is the problem here and how can I solve this? IMHO, there is a PNG missing. But where do I find that PNG and where should that be stored on my device?
I just found another user with the same problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5028797&postcount=192
It seems that by installing A_Brians WM6.5 Taskbar gfreek edition, I did change HTCVolumeControl.dll.
I will try to change it back to the original DLL.
OK, I have reinstalled the original DLL from the ROM using SKTools, after changing HKLM\Software\HTC\VolumeOverlay\OverlayUI from 0 to 1 the grey column has disappeared, but the overlay stays also disapeared.
I'm having the same problem. I think it has something to do with the custom taskbar you have installed. I installed a custom taskbar myself and it caused my music volume graphic to disappear too. I beleive it has something to do with HTCVolumeControl.dll which has been changed. I re-installed it but it made no difference. If anyone has a solution to this, it would be much appreciated.
Happy New Year!!
*EDIT* Snap! It looks like you found the problem at exactly the same time I posted this. Spooky!!!! If you find a solution to the problem, please post it here. Thanks.
Well I simply gave up after long horus of REG tweaking and changing files from the ROM and from the internet to get it back.
I hard resetted the Phone yesterday and voila, the volume overlay is back. It's an awfully dirty procedure, because I spent half of the night and a few hours today to get all Programs and Settings back. Unfortunately I had only backed up the whole system (including that overlay problem), so the backup was not very helpful at all.
I remember reading, I think its to do with that taskbar you have installed, I had it and had the same problem, now I dont (hard resetted) and my music bar is sorted
I uninstalled the taskbar. No change.
Then I tried to get HTCVolumeControl.DLL back from ROM, no change.
I treid to install a HTCVolumeControl.DLL from the Internet, no change. Well, there was a change here. I had WM Volume control suddenly. You know, the black and white control bars at the top right corner we all remeber from WM5.
Then I gave up.

Hi, guys.
All of a sudden, BT icon (the one that's located in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen) just dissapeard :x I didn't install any new software, didn't perform a reset, or something like that, it just dissapeard for no obvious reason. Any ideas how I could get it back on the screen?
TIA,
Zeljac
it once did that to me a softreset got it back though
That was the first thing I tried but the situation is still the same
what if you go into settings->connections and choose bluetooth and change it from what ever it's set to and press ok
and maybe change it back again
If you have the last version of BTTools you can push in the new BT icon and, inmediately, make soft reset.
Of this form I have the old BT icon again.
Thanks a lot, mate. I did exactly what you told me, and the icon came back...
Tnx,
Zeljac
Ooops, here comes the problem again After gettin my BT icon back, I removed BTtools, and the icon dissapeard again. I tried the same trick again but with no results. So my question is open for your answers once again
I have the same problem, it was a day or two after I installed and removed GB-Soft Tweak, it went missing ... reinstalled the Tweak, after a few soft-reset, it's gone again until now. Do you have this Tweak installed?
Have you already tried to change \HKLM\Services\BTIcon\Keep or any of the other settings under this key?
Hope that helps
Matthias
Hmm, a very strange thing happend. I synced it another computer (the one that I sync to maybe once or twice a week) and after that the icon just came back. So far, it's still there. Hopefully, it will stay that way :wink:
Anyway, tnx for all your replies...
Btw, I don't have GB-Soft tweak installed, and I was just about to start playing with the registry when the icon just appeared again.
Greetings,
Zeljac
the value for that registry key (keep) was set to 1. so, I set it to 0, soft reset, still no sign of BT icon.
then i set it back to 1, soft reset ... BT icon came back on!
however, in the next reset ... it's gone. something is messing with it in the background.
I also need my BT icon back.. I-Mate ROM 1.72 Any help, please?
I had the same problem. Days ago I installed skin for the keyboard and mysteriously icon BT returned.
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=424
I think there may be a link between the missing BT icon and the number of Today plugins installed or events being processed at startup. I think it is an Operating System issue.
For example.
If I soft reset my unit I can get the BT icon to vanish.
If I then deselect any today plug in and soft reset again the BT icon re appears. However if I do not deselect a today plug in and soft reset the BT icon does not reappear.
So perhaps it is related to a timing of events on load when starting?
Ed
This could be a good clue. The timing on startup sounds like a good theory to the problem.
If you look in the registry under [HKLM/Services/BTIcon] there are some interesting keys named: Index, Keep, Order and Context.
Anyone know how these are used???
(The keys "Order" and "Index" seems most interesting)

Similar to what I have said but that thread says to uncheck every today plug in. I have found you don't need to do that. For me just unckecking a single plug is in enough.
I'm pretty sure it is a loading issue.
Ed
In my Qtek 2020i.
After the installation of some software. The Icon In the Bar of Today Screen for changing the mode from Portrait to Landscape are disapeared.
Some Knows how I can recovery It.
Thanks for all,
Uninstall the software and it comes back...
I had the same with PPCProfiles-Pro...lost the icon after installing. Removed it, the icon came back. It's a shy thing that icon, it's done it before too.
Cheers
Ant
Ok, but I don't Know what of the software that I have Install in the pocket is the cause of them.
I would like to Know, If there a key in the registry that do this action.
Thanks,
Yes please could someone confirm weather or not there is a reg key/tweak/hack for the XDAIIi as the sreen icon dissappearing 'trick' is really annoying.
Would greatly apprecaite a reply soon,
LydaiChris
if you search for 'landscape' in the registry you'll find the solution.
In HKLM\System\GDI\Rototion there is a dword key called 'HideOrientationUI'. Set it to zero to unhide/reenable it.
STILL NO LUCK
Can you suggest anything else?!?!?!?
It seemed to dissappear as soon as I increased the glyhe reg hack
Remove the SPB Software, I believe it is PocketMon or Space Saver
S
if it disappears again then there is a tool active which wants to mess with that registry key. I've tried that SPB tool also and it made my landscape icon disappear indeed, as some other tools... so get rid of that tool cause the landscape icon is far more useful.
Hi.
When I first got my XDAIIi, I did a corporate install.
What is SPB ?!?!
Is that anything to do with the o2 software cd that comes with the XDAIIi!? i.e. the GPRS montor, ZIP etc... !??!
Is there another reg hack anyone?!? :?:
Or a piece of software that actually resolves the problem!?
I would greatly appreciate a reply,
Lydiachris
the spb grps toold doesn't conflict with the landscape on the xdaIIi, I've kept it running and it didn't cause any issue.
The only option where it is specified for the landscape icon to be viewed is in the registry key as mentioned earlier... dig the registry.
If then, the icon disappear still not appears or keeps disappearing, as that registry key rightfully specifies the icon's being, then it has to be other (additional) software which prevents it from appearing, e.g. the option to prevent the icon from appearing once the additional program built-in/in is loaded.
Try uninstalling the corp. lot and reinstalling what is necessary I'd say.
as to the fact which application messes which with the icon... at least a few for sure, and as I recalled from tryouts I an spb tool did mess with it.
-scuzi mi errata, pero soy humana-
Is there a program which should be in StartUp to make this work? I checked the registry key (I have the same problem) and it is set to zero, which the previous posts seem to suggest means it should display.
Maybe it has something to do with "Today Timout" ?!?!?
Mine is set to 4 hours.
Does anyone know what the Today Timeout actually does!??!?!
Cheers,
lydiachris
ps. yeah is there any software we can shove in the startup folder which will keep the icon there?!
Sort of solved for me
I removed a bunch of "no longer used" programs last night and the icon mysteriously reappeared after a couple of soft resets. Wierd.....
Yeah but does anyone know what the Today Timeout option does?!?!?!
I ahve searched long time in this forum and cannot find it anywhere!!!
If you leave the device off for longer than the today timeout, you will get the today screen when you switch it back on, otherwise you will get the last application used
hiya guys,
after hard resetting my phone there was a small icon on the bottom right of the screen representing the battery power. Now for some reason its gone and i cant get it back. I have to goto settings and look up the power in there. Anyone no how to get this back or if there is an addon i can install to show battery power maybe on the top bar or on the today screen again?
Check your Startup folder to see if Init_Tray.exe is still present.
yeh init_tray.exe is still there, i have got the wifi icon there, just not power
I think the 02 software removes it I noticed the same thing last night
not much good anyway is it , I am happy with the one on the today screen (big one)
yeh problem is ive done a corporate install because its alot quicker without all that o2 stuff on it. Its just weird, coz its been like for like a week, and one day its just not there any more, cant work it out
Yes, if you check the o2 extended rom there's a cab just to remove the battery icon, because they stick one in the title bar instead I think. There's a registry setting that should help you get it back, but I can't recall it right now.

found out how to fix this just incase anyone else is havin this problem. If you goto file explorer and browse to the window directory, theres a program called powertray.exe, open this and there you, power bar back in the system tray
Hi,
I just did a hard-reset on my phone, because gyrator (think) wasn't working properly and i hoped that a reset would fix this. However, i'm still having the same problem as before.
In TF3D everything works smooth, exactly how it should be working. The problem occurs when i'm in any application (typing sms or e-mail / browing with opera). As soon as i turn my phone to landscape modus, it turns the screen like it should, but after one second in landscape mode, the phone goes back to the TF3D interface. As a result, i'm not able to browse in landscape modus or type a sms/e-mail in landscape modus.
I think this has something to do with Gyrator (still all the standard settings after installation), since before the reset, the problem occured when i installed the program. However, it might also be another application.
I installed the following programs (i ignored the programs that i'm sure of that are not causing the problem, since i installed them for the first time and i had the problem before):
- G-Alarm
- Coreplayer
- Advanced Configuration Tool 3.2 (still standard settings)
- Massimo Colored Top Bar
- Microsoft .NET CF 3.5
- NoData
- Resco explorer
- Schap's advanced task manager
- Schap's registry editor
- tnyynt SD tuneUp
I tried the search function on the forum, but couldn't find a possible solution. Are there any people here that are familier with my problem?
Thanks!
I had the same issue. I isolated the issue to having 2 programs that handled rotation on some level.
I have exactly the same problem (tested with comics reader, opera...)
Yet I have uninstalled Gyrator... Could Gyrator have corrupted something? I suspect also the colored taskbar to be somehow responsible (as it had already corrupted my boot with another customised taskbar...)
EDIT: Problem Solved
I just uninstalled the last colored taskbar which had not the problem with corrupted boot, but which was the reason for this bug... problem solved for me
Damn, i loved the colored taskbar...is it still possible to have both (maybe a different way of installing the colored taskbar)?

Interesting. I also have the colored icons taskbar. So far running only on program seems to work on my end. I will keep tabs on this. Thanks.

A more complete test would be necessary to really determine the problem... the good news is that everything is ok now for me
the bad news is no more colored taskbar until another try (next time I install a colored taskbar, I will try every known crash test )
There does seem to be a conflict with Opera and replacing the task bar icons, specifically the battery icon. Try installing Schaps Advanced Config and change the "Today -> Show on titlebar" from "Battery" to "Clock".
I was playing some more today. It does seem to be the colored task bar. I added the additional icons for Bluetooth. After that, the issue re-ocurred. A soft reset seemed to solve it and no issues since.
You should try the darklord colored titlebar, it does not cause these conflicts. Search the Blackstone forums for the link as I don't know it by heart and the original version is in Italian (the link in this forum is google translated).

This is the one I am using.
I also had darklord colored titlebar and had the same problem. When I switched to landscape it crashed into TF3D. Then I uninstalled titlebar and everything works right. For me the landscape view is more important then colored titlebar. You could try to install colored titlebar by the .dll file, not by .cab, but I don't think that will solve the problem. The best would be, if somebody who has colored titlebar and no crashing problem, would write how he did it.

For me it was the same but then with Massimo's colored topbar icons.
I've uninstalled it and now it works just fine.
If someone has the colored topbar icons and doesn't have the crashing problem, please post which one you're using.
I have still have the bar installed and have had no issues since the last soft reset. I was playing in Opera and You Tube with no issues.
I am going to install changescreen again and configure it. I will post results.
Jacne Blue-earth taskbar installed and everything looks ok until now
The programs coming from earlier WM versions are fully functional but the menu titles in the bottom bar do not show off.
However when you click on them , the menu appears.(See VisualGPSce for example).
I have tried to change the resolution but the problem remains.
I have not found this problem listed in the forums but I know that it is common as I have seen such programs with a blank bottom bar in some tests.
Any idea ? Thanks !
Yep I got that too. Was a bit worried at first but I think there's a registry key somewhere that can be altered. Just can't remember where!! However if I do remember i'll post it (or possibly someone else will remember before I do...)
It's not a problem as long as I can remember what menu option is where....

This is what I have seen on this matter in the Total Commader Forum.
I would be happy if you could remeber the tweak ...

Use Raiisak´s Flatbar Black cab when you use Xperia black theme like me and don´t forget rename xperia black theme to defaul.tsk and activate default.tsk in settings today... work fine for me... old trick from my old Hermes time
Thanks ! Just changed the Today theme to default Windows and it works :text now shows !
I just cheated with mine - did a registry edit on the Xperia Black theme!
HKCU\\Software\Microsoft\Today\XPERIA Black.tsk
changed the value in "Color_CommandbarText" to 55,55,55,00
Bit of a "fiddle" but it works fine for what I needed! I may try 77,77,77,00 and see if that's still useable
you have to reset the device as soon as you've updated the value or it doesn't appear to want to stick.....
