Does anyone know how to get a custom time on your phone to work with the Fitbit app? Currently, I like to run my time on my phone 10mins faster for work, but the app only works with the phone being set to automatic time.
If anyone knows a fix for this or a work around it would be great.

Is there something simple that I am missing that someone can point me to? When I use GPS/Google Maps, the screen times out after the set delay (I have it set to 30 seconds) and I have to turn the phone back on again.
This never happened with my G1. When it was in GPS/Map mode, the screen would just automagically stay on.
i still have my eris (1.5) but i use keepscreen...

didn't want to create a new thread, but did anyone find a solution to this besides keeping the display on when charging?

Hello,
I've exactly the same problem. I tried keepscreen, it works, but I wanted to know if there was an other solution (without installing an application).
If somebody has a solution, it would be great
Screebl does what you want.
If you use the Navigate function the screen does not timeout. of course you can't be in any other app.

I thank you for your answers.
i'm new of HTC TD2. my clock time changes all the time when it goes sleep mode and i press the power button and want to make a phone call, i need to adjust the time back. this is really annoying me coz it means i can't use this mobile as my alarm at all.
can anyone help me? I've already read the thread in the forum. but still can't find the solution. Thanks heaps.
Same thing is happening for me. This is the second Pure that I have owned and it seems like the time doesn't "keep up". Sometimes it will be only a few minutes behind; other times, hours. It has caused me to be late for work and I now have to set 2 alarms (I hate using standard alarm clocks and their annoying beeps and prefer to wake up to music that I have set on my phone, but I need a reliable back up). I really like the phone and hate to have to send it back for the second time for the same thing, but HTC seems to think that it is AT&T's network issues (funny how no one else or any other phones in my house have this problem). I'd be interested to know how many other people are experiencing the same problem.
Play with your sync time with network setting and see if that helps.
Thanks for the reply.
i think i've solved the problem. just unticked the automatically time zone changed. and it's running fine now.
Hi guys, over the past couple of days for some reason when im doing something in my phone it randomly pops up with the car panel telling me my gps is off.
Anyone else have this problem, or know how to solve it?
Thanks

Had the same problem, lasting for about a single day. The next day it simply disappeared. Don't know why and how.
Could you please elaborate?
Some details like the ROM you're currently using, alternate car panel client if any.....
That should help diagnose the problem.
In case youre using the origin sense ROM with HTC's default car pannel, my guess is that Locations is trying to update something, but is not being able to. At least that's what was happening with my DHD. The way first fixed it was,
1. Hard reboot
2. Switch off Cellular data network
3. Refresh AGPS data (through the GPS Status app)
4. Leave the phone to do the rest for 10 min
That solved it for me.
Wifi used to turn off under standby on Windows Phone 7, which was the most stupidest feature in the whole OS I don't care what anyone says. Can anyone confirm if this is still present in WP8?
Since nobody got their hands on a device that's not even out yet, we can't answer that.
How can anyone confirm such a statement when the os isn't even out yet? (and some features may be still on the work, since the sdk isn't the final version yet?)

There is/are an app(s) for that!
Even if it is still present in WP8, you can always have an app to help you add this feature (like other OS always does!)
Hi,
It would be really great if you could let me know the name of any of the apps which helps in keeping the wifi on all the time.
I am not having a rooted handset so I cannot change the registry entries and would only be able to get an app which is already in the marketplace

Its called keep alive
it has a logo of a heart
look it up in the market place
FWIW, even though the Wifi is switched off when the screen is off, I believe the OS does switch on & off the wifi as and when it needs to (checking emails, receiving push notifications etc) without fully waking the phone (ie the display stays off)
I run an app that polls a local server every few hours to check for new items. The local IP 192.168.1.65, as it appears on the local network, is the IP it checks. Every morning when I check my phone, the live tile has been updated overnight. It can't have made contact with the server unless it was connecting via Wifi, so therefore the Wifi is indeed being used even when the screen is off.
Therefore, I have no use for Keepalive or any of these apps. I'm not sure why people need it?
There were some recent news which mentioned that Live apps (Don't ask) will most likely remain active, even with the screen locked.
Also, seems that enabling your app as a GPS app will most likely let your app. However, these are discussions and rumors.
Wifi does not get completely shut down when you lock the screen. It simply enters a power-saving mode, cause you won't actively need your connection while phone is locked.
You can check this in easy steps. Get an app that updates itself over internet everytime you run it (say a whether app) and lock the screen at the exact moment when the app goes past the loading screen. You if you press the power button, you will see wifi is active in the status bar.
If you lock it the usual way, while nobody needs wifi, you will see wifi gets turned off almost instantly.
What if you are downloading bunch of podcasts ? Will the podcast app keep the wi-fi on until it finishes ? Also.. skype (or any other chat program) needs to check for updates as well.
I am sure they've made it seamless..
Hi all. I'm having a bit of GPS weirdness. GPS can get a lock quickly and accurately, however, I have to turn it off/on every time I open an app that uses it. Otherwise, it won't ever find the location. Once I turn it off/on it picks up and stays locked while the app is running. Also, if I switch to another app that uses GPS I have to do the same thing to get a location fix.
So obviously, the GPS function works, but something in the OS is not recognizing it until it's reset. Not the end of the world, but definitely annoying. Is anyone else seeing this?
This is on the AT&T version, by the way.
Thanks!
