Since installing the latest O2 ROM upgrade I found two problems:
1. Alarms and timers (chronos, spb time) don't wake up the machine. I need this feature and this a major problem for me, surely must be also an issue for others.
2. I don't want the battery icon on the top bar, I want just the clock.
Does anyone knows a trick to change for the better any of those, please?
Thanks, Gonz
1) u can install 3rd party Alarm Softwares.
2) search the forum, there is a solution

Really?
Care to post a link? Everything I've read says there is no solution yet.
Look in your startup folder, there is a file that activates the battery icon (I can't rremember what it is called and I don't have it anymore, but I seem to remember it's obvious when you see it).
Delete it (or copy to another safe location) and your battery icon will no longer appear.
OK, it seems my problems are not so simple to solve, after all.
These are the files in my startup folder:
sddaemon, services, theme refresh and voice command.
Could you tell me which one to delete to get rid of the battery icon please?
Uhm…, and what about the problem of timers and alarms failing to wake up the device? Do we have to use the dull Microsoft application?
Thanks

hdubli,
I do have lots of third party software for this purpose and they all fail with the exec wm5, something that did not happen on my xda 2i with any of them.
If you please care to be more explicit with the solutions, I am sure several here would appreciate it.
Thanks, gonz

For your alarm problem, check out pTravelAlarm

You are looking for version 2.6.0, which is for WM5 - their site claims that it's a trial version, but I've found it to be faultless, even after applying latest O2 ROM.
It's not free and I can't promise it'll work for you, but it's worth a shot.
If I can't leave my Exec plugged into mains overnight, I disable the "Turn device off after..." in Power Settings and it hasn't failed to wake me up yet.
Its volume control isn't linked to your device's, and it's loud enough to put the fear of God in you...[/code]
I am having a similar problem. What you guys dont seem to understand, is, even if there was a $1000 3rd party alarm software, it will be of no use when the phone refuses to wake up.
The problem we have is not of the alarm software, but the simple problem of the phone not waking up, e.g. from standby to ON.
Can someone shed some light on this issue.
Thank You
This forum has not resolved the issue of the battery, hunders if not thousands of people are awaiting some miraculous fix for this. the only thing I know to work is using wizbar to reskin the title bar.
in relation to alarms, sorry, i know the wm5 is a problem. though, the inbuilt alarms that i have used on the device do wake the device up.
the other thing you can try is, dont turn it off, dont allow the system to turn it off after a period of time, and just close the device without turning off.
it will drain a little bit more power, i think approximately 15% over the night than what it would otherwise draing, but if it is plugged in, then it wont drain at all and will ensure the device wakes up.
thanks, it is probably rom related since u report that your device does wake up. Can you tell me what rom version u are using? Thanks

Many thanks, I did try not to switch it off and it works!, even the timers!
my rom is in my signature, unlike yours.
what i was saying was it wakes it up from its sleep, but not its off state.
just closing the clam was sufficient to preserve battery, especially given that at night its always charged. even during the day, i rarely turn it off. i just close the device and let it rest....
Why is the "turn off device if not used for" alway
Does anybody know how to prevent the system from ticking this box every time?
My machine does it on its own, yes, it does, sometimes even after changing from landscaping view to normal.
So, the advice of not turning it off to make the alarms work is OK, but needs constant rechecking that the box remains unticked!!

I would look at your other software that may be enforcing this as it has never happened to me, nor have I read about it.

If you mean Windows\Startup, I have sddaemon, O2 UI Refresh and poutlook.
I have moved them all out (startup folder is empty) and still no luck.

My suggestion unrelated to your problem is to keep "sddaemon.lnk" out of the "start up" folder. If you haven't noticed yet, if you keep sddaemon on the start up folder, after performing a soft reset this file is duplicated under "Notifications" taking up your precious memory and slowing down your machine. You can check it if you have a program that cleans your Notification Que such as "Scary Bear's Check Notification" (freeware).
For the alarm one, does anyone tried using PocketWakeup? The original one is in French, but there is an English version too. Google for it and see if it works on the universal.

Can't think of anything in my PDA that will have that need or ability, it is not an option I've noticed in any program before, but thanks anyway. I'll search around, there must be a solution somewhere :wink:

you could try reflashing your rom as you are on the older version.

I got the latest, just haven't updated my profile. I found it! It was Phone Alarm, changed to PocketZen and everything is finally OK :wink:
I noticed this evening something strange. I wanted to check a weather forecast on my HD, but when I scrolled to the specified tab, I saw the screen comming up (no weather picture comming up though, and the button Update now was there, but not functioning at all) but nothing happened for a few seconds, and Touchflo3D hangs completely with the following error:
Wer're sorry
A problem has occured with manila.exe
blablabla
Send - Don't send
The stock forecast is working properly though.
Anyone experienced somehting like this as well, or somebody know what I can do to resolve this? I already tried to unload as many programs to be sure that those could not cause it. Also I have not installed something before that happend (at least that I'm aware of, but I don't know what the last time was I could access the Weather forecast correctly actually). The last program I installed was Igo8, but that isn't related at all to that, isn't it... I also reset my device, but the problem is still there...
I hope someone can help me with this. Otherwise I have to hard-reset my HD again, which I don't want to actually....
Thanks in advance.
GreenFrog
Anybody who can help me with this? Is there maybe something I can check in the executable of Manila, or just a part of it. Or can I re-installe the weather app in some kind of way?
GreenFrog
I've never experienced the issue that you are describing. Did you try a hard reset? Perhaps that should suffice for now until someone acknowledges a fix.

Well, that's just the part I want to perform at last. I did a hard reset about a week ago, and have everything installed again; would like to keep it and try to fix only the weather app; that's the only one which is causing the error.
Hmm, I thought I had the answer by deleting the database cache for within \\Touch HD T8282\Application Data\HTC\databases, but still not. Although I'm a little further now, in the meaning that I can see the picture within the tab, but when it tries to update, manila hangs completely and TouchFlo3D restarts again. But when the cache is deleted, and I hook my HD up to my pc and it wants to try to update, it sees there is no connection and comes up with the screen to retry or not. If I select 'No', I can come into the menu, also when I've disconnected it from my system... and keeps running, until I click update again of course...
Have to see what the next part could be. Although the weather application is not that important, I really like to know what could have caused this...

hey guys.
I have problems by adding up locations to forcast list.
after choosing country (us) the city list doesn't scroll down and keep going up to clorado spring.
any idea???
hi greenfrog. i discovered i'm having exactly the same problem you have. have you finally found a solution to this? i hard did a hard reset and installed things (nothing weird) and it happened. i was ok right after the hard reset though...

Oh mine does that too, did you find a solution?
as a matter of fact, i hv both greenfrog and nadar-1's problems.
but nadar-1's problem can be manipulated by "holding the scroll"..though i know there is still a limit.
the weather tab crash with manila.exe error is more serious.
Hi Greenfrog,
I solved my problem. My crash was caused by a tweak in Regional Settings I did. Hope it helps your situation.

I just noticed today that all my Facebook albums have stopped working. I just get a circle with a diagonal line through it instead of a thumbnail. I have tried logging out using data.services and I have soft reset a few times. don't really want to hard reset yet. it was defiantly working when I first got my HD2.
Anyone had this problem?

Never worked for me either on 1.43 nor 1.48 ROMs.
same problem here!
but worked for me the first few days i had my hd2 (with stockrom 1.43 GER)!
I had the same problem. I found out, that it was caused by a tweak i installed. It was theTouch X LEO turbo.cab when I uninstalled it. the Facebook albums worked again.
Ah, wish I read that early, i just did a hard reset to make it work again lol.
Although saying that, I think alot of the "tweaks" had a negative effect on the phone, now I have my programs re-installed but non of the tweaks, it feels much faster!
I haven't installed that cab so I can't explain why mine has stopped working!
I have found that using the performance Cache tweaks on BSB Tweaks causes this same issue. Of course turning the sliders off and doing a soft reset fixed the problem for me.
Seriously, I recommend just hard reseting and not bothering with half of the tweaks, its seems that most of them have caused bugs and caused the device to slow down for me.
Now its hard reseted, its fast and perfect again.
o wow you guys are right... my facebook album wasn't working.. i uninstalled the LEO turbo cab and all is well again! cheesr
The specific tweak that causes this problem is setting file cache to high. Avoid this and you are golden.

Not really sure why! I guess it may have something to do with the native size of the images sense is trying to load into memory? Why having a higher file cache would be worse in this scenario I don't know.
Edit: Just noticed that Makeveral has removed the file cache tweak from his latest release of BSB tweaks 1.3
Sweet, turned off performance tweeks and now ok. Cheers
Hi fellow HD2 users.
Sorry kinda OT: Anyone have problems with uploading photos with Microsoft Facebook? My is random, doesn't always work and annoying!!! It uploaded my data, but nothing shows up in my Facebook (Mobile Upload folder)! Waste of my data too!!!
i recently installed Bsb tweaks and found the same thing too, that facebook album stoped working.
Jackuuuuu, I wouldnt bother with the MS app for uploading photos as the HTC album seems to do a fine job, although it would be nice if you could comment on pics from there.
Hi
Have installed Cookies Home tab editor and xthack, all running fine execpt now can't open email with double tap from the slider view - anyone have any idea how to fix this???
Thanks in advance
I have the same problem..
Try this: press on/off button until u get Lock device, lock device, then unlock and try to open email.. ti works for me, but this is a stupid solution for a major problem.. and I don't think it is related to home tab editor or any program..
Hi,
Being new here, I have found this thread about the same problem I have.
Anyone got a solution for this or a registry tweak?
Initially, I was relating this problem to recently installed Dutty's TM, since I haven't immediately lost tap-to-open function in an e-mail preview slider upon installing Cookie Home Plugin.
Help much appreciated,
Alex

This probably has happened to me twice since I got the phone on 3/24. What I just do is reboot the phone and problem fixed!
had this problem with some custom roms but since have been using the extreme series i have not had the problem. the unlock trick did not resolve the issue for me. also use mtty when flashing a new rom, this possibly could have caused the problem for me.

Happened to me also the same way before. But this is something different.
At first it stopped functioning only on one mail account and noticed that somehow it lost the saved password on that account. After repairing that, temporarily, it came back to normal again but after couple of days lost this function completely on all mail accounts.
Plus, in start menu when tapping E-mail it opens FlexMail instead of standard built-in mail account list.
Really cannot address the source of the problem and trying to avoid starting all over with reinstalling after desperate measures.
This is the first serious problem I came to from last December when I got the phone.
Alex
Using the lock/unlock sequence, via a long press on the end call button, works for me. Not really satisfactory. The problem has started only since I recently had to hard reset my device and reinstall all the software.
i dont know what to do. ive rebooted the device about 5 times in the last 2 days. it will will go in to stand by mode and the screen will turn off as it should but when i try to press one of the keys the screen stays black and only the keys are lit up. sometimes if i wait about 30 seconds after i keep pushing it, the lock screen will come up but its a big pain.
the only thing i have installed on it is CHT 1.7.1 CHT editor 1.7.1.2 and Anastasia CHT theme. i had a bunch of other stuff but i didnt reload it since my last boot because i thought that may have been causing the problem.
What can i do?
which rom are you on? can you hard reset and run just stock for a few days and see what happens?
I honestly think the sleep of death is lock related imho
I believe there is already a thread on this. Try disabling the auto lock function on your device. I had the same issue and this resolved it for me.
It seems that the device won't bring up the slider bar to unlock the phone, the screen is locked out to avoid accidental key strokes, and that's why the hard keys still light up but you get no display.
You can try uninstalling CHT and see if that makes any difference, it has for some people when trying to fix this issue.
Another thing you can try is this:
Go into Settings -> All Settings -> Today, and on the "Items" tab, make sure the "Today timeout" box at the bottom is UNchecked. It's not a guaranteed solution, but it has cleared that problem for some.
Your feedback is appreciated
ok well it seemed like my texts were slowing it down a lot.. i wish there were settings to erase them automatically.. besides that everything is perfect now
Did you install ANY version (including 2.07) of the FileExplorerExt mod, or even the combine fix (0.3)?
I had nothing but problems with my phone until I uninstalled it. Even the supposed fix in 2.07 doesn't work.
After removing this application, I haven't had a phone freeze/lockup/refuse to wake up in over 2 weeks.

Yes, the issues with those extensions happen when you either (fully) close file explorer while it's pointed at the SD card, or let the phone sleep while it's open and pointed at the card. If you just hit the "up" button when you're done using it, so it's pointed at "my device" again, you shouldn't have those issues anymore.
Good work sir

So I have been running without cookies for a little while. I flashed to the new ROM and have been SOD free for about two weeks not. Not a hiccup. Dont know if it is the new ROM but I know when I uninstalled cookies it helped a lot. Im thinking maybe wednesday I will install cookies back. Maybe the new ROM fixed sense enough to allow me to re-install cookies.

Yeah, I'm anxious to hear the results when you try CHT again, especially with the new ROM.
Were you ever running the fexplorer extension(s) mentioned above? It hadn't occured to me before that that might be behind some of the lockups people experience.

I had Co0kie installed for 2 weeks (on original stock ROM) and had no SOD. Only when FileExplorerExt was installed did I have that issue. As of the new 2.13 ROM, had Co0kie installed and still no lockups. I installed the 0.3 combined FileExplorerExt fix last night and had SOD within 15 minutes. After uninstalling, been running without SOD ever since.
Unless you have a corrupt Co0kie install, I don't think that's a problem, thought nobody can totally rule it out. Seems every phone is different.

No I recently read about those fexplorers but never got around to trying them out. Seemed a little unnecessary for me. At one point after uninstalling I installed diniks icons and slider and it was still running great?! idk... I will keep you posted.
