HTC Switches on the Aria. - HTC Aria General

There were four switches on one of the screens when I hard reset my Aria. GPS, Bluetooth, Wifi, and Airplane. I accidentally removed one of them and can't find them to readd them. Does anyone know where to find them? Stock Sense... for now.

Long press the screen then widget>settings>select the one you want.
My last Intruder was a Grumman A-6E.

It's actually widget/Power Control.

The OP said they removed one of the switches. Power control widget is one large widget. Unless you can remove one part of that widget, the OP must be referring to what I posted. Furthermore, the Power control widget has 5 functions, not 4.

Those are the ones. Thanks!

exactly.
the reason the OP can't find them, is because the "settings" widgets are hidden until you select "settings"

Change the Sense Home All Programs button function?

I've looked 'n' read around and messed with the various theme apps but haven't been able to find any method to change the default Sense Home "All Programs" lower left triangular button function to display Mail or Messages. These are the two apps I use far more than anything and find myself having use of them on every screen.
I'd really love some way to either open something other than default or better, some way to remove the + button and add another like the left arrow there too so both of them can open Mail and Messages.
Any way that its possible? Thanks.

Install Helix 2 from the market. You'll lose Sense but you can make a tool bar on the bottom of the screen that holds 4 apps.
Thanks...
Tried that priorly, not really what I'm after here. Definitely not replacing Sense and my current config on it except for that lower bar. That is all I'm after tweaking.

You don't 'Lose' it at all, Sense is still there and you get asked to choose between the 2 anytime you do anything until you make one default.. even then, sense is still running in the backgound unless you manualy shut it down.
You're right. I just gave some of the variants a try including Launcher, HelixLauncher, Home ++ but it looks as if what I thought was HelixLauncher 2 was HelixLauncher. 2 is definitely quicker for me and better suited but still no way of adding one or two select apps which scroll open/close with such a lower bar menu button on any home screen you're on. Just as the All Programs do on Sense.

Just FYI, Home++ has two such buttons on the lower bar for opening all programs and bookmarks but they're not remappable to a function or app you'd like (which is what I'm after).

The implications of data control apps changing APN's

Hi,
Does anyone know anything about these apps and widgets that are supposed to control mobile data? I mean apps like APNdroid, Switchpro etc.
Most of them it seems are unreliable, the ones Ive looked at anyway, but the common theme for them is to change the APN. For example if I use extended controls widget to control mobile data, it changes the APN to orangeinternet[extendedcontrols] when the widget is off by default. However, when I long press on the power button, it seems mobile data is on...
I was really wondering about the impact to battery as I assume my phone is searching for a non-existant APN, if you see what I mean?
I am hoping for some expert knowledge on this, as I am using Launcherpro Plus and so cant use the sense widget, and before anyone says to long press on power button, I thik its clumsy and one click too many!
Thanks in advance!
Have you tried switch pro? It's like the power control widget but you can select what options you want,... give it a go.

Yeah Ive tried it thanks, but again, it wasn't reliable enough for me and it changed the APN, iirc. I'm currently trying Data on Demand from the market, which you can set to turn off data when the phone sleeps, or schedule your own profile for data use.

why cant i just diall the name of the person i want to call

On the mytouchslide I can just dial the name of the person I want to speak with on the g2 I cannot anyway to change this?
That is sense feature. I will miss it when I ditch my EVO and goto the G2. I am not sure if other Dialers will do the same thing.....
There are a few apps for this. I personally like "Star Contacts." I believe another one was "Dialer One."

I use Star Contacts as well.
Ah yes, one of many features that I miss from my slide. That and the full weather animation.

Do any of these programs change the way the dialer looks. I don't want a change in the look just the feature
My suggestion would be to just tap the search button, type the name in there, and click the dial icon.

No. Here's Star Contacts. Once you get the contact on screen, you click the contact. From there you can call, text or email the contact.
It also provides some enhancements of the call log that I prefer to the standard call log. You get the exact time of the call, not "3 days ago" and you also get the duration of the call in hours, minutes and seconds.
why not use the search button? no really on the phone. you tap the button then type the name and it will look for it in your contacts and you click to dial.
You can get weather animation with beautiful widgets.

lets say you just called them an hour ago, and want to dial them back again
isntead of hitting a total of 2 buttons to call them again, in order to type in their name, you're going to have to do at least 3, and more depending on how long your contact list is, to an average of about, lets say 5.
that would mean a 150% increase in keystrokes...
If you just called them an hour ago (not sure how often *you* make phone calls) they should be near the top of your recent calls...
i use Dialer One, which is similar to the HTC Dialer and has swiping from page-to-page for recents/favs/contacts.
Also, getting a shortcut to the program where you can get to it quickly might help too. If you haven't checked out replacement launchers/homes in the market, I'd suggest it.

What nolsen311 said... Your situation is solved by stock software. I don't think the issue is recent calls, but simply searching for peeps. The stock search button works well.
cant you just flash it and install Desire Z rom?
Can't you just... open the keyboard, type the name, tap the profile image, tap the phone icon (first one)? It's not so complicated.
Works perfect for me!
to the OP... i'm hooked on the HTC Sense way of searching/dialing (T9 "spelling" out a contact's name)
i really like Dialer One - its *very* similar to the Sense interface, if that's what you're coming from
also, a couple times i had an idea for an improvement so i emailed the guy and he fixed it right away - pretty cool!
(ps... that star contacts looks pretty slick - i might just give that a try too!)

For the weather animation and Sense style weather clock widget, check out "Weather and Toggle Widget" by Android Apps in the market. It costs a couple of bucks, but works great. A true Sense style clock and weather widget with full screen animations on stock Android.
If you get it, to get the Sense style to it, download the H7C Clock and H7C Weather themes for it, and the Weather Widget Forecast Addon by Android Apps for the animations.

Can't add apps to home screen in stock 2.3.4

When I hold an app icon and try to add it to my home screen, I select the option "add to home" and it send me to my home screen without any kind of icon. Help?

Sounds like your home screen is already full. Try moving some of the apps from your main home screen ( the middle one) and place them elsewhere. If the middle one is filled up, it will usually just take you to the home screen and not carry the shortcut for the app forward.
Else, try moving to an empty home screen(any except the middle one) and push and hold down on an empty space. Then, you will see an option saying "Shortcut" or something. Click on it, choose "application" and then select the app you want on that specific home screen and it will just carry it to that empty space you selected earlier.

If you have a home replacement app installed(launcherpro, adwlauncher, etc.) uninstall it and then try. Had the same problem, uninstalling the replacement launcher fixed it. Blur is garbage.
i just had pretty much the same issue. i just installed Go Launcher and the only way to add things onto the home screen is to hold down on the home screen you want to add to, then press add application and then there's a check list for the apps you want to add to that screen.
i know it's off topic, but blur does suck, i was okay with it until i tried other home replacement apps, went back to blur and it physically hurt.
Thanx guys but im perfectly aware of how to add stuff to the home screen and
When its full or not. As for launchers I have 5 different launchers installed including stock MOTOBLUR and I use home switcher for froyo. So for the time being ill just work with a lil' ADW here and a lil' launcherpro. Thanx anyway guys

Change dock icons touchwiz?

Is there anyway to remove the doc icon messaging and replace it with another? I've looked and looked not sure if it can be done. Does anyone know I don't want a different launcher.

figured out gotta be in applications and press the preferences button on left of home button.

Remember to go MenuButton>Save after you're done, otherwise it throws away your changes.
Pressing the back button will save the change as well.

This was driving me crazy today. I wanted to move Phone icon to middle so it is easier to reach one-handed, and put Camera icon on dock.
I finally found a post in the Epic 4G forum that explains the process. Works the same for Gnote. This should really be in the Gnote User Manual!
Application>Menu>Edit - drag out what you don't want, drag in what you do want - then Menu>Save to seal the deal.
