Exactly what the title asks... I would like to change my current time format on my taskbar. It currently displays time in the h:mm format. I would like to switch over to h:mm:ss format if possible.
Im assuming there is a registry setting to alter that? Anyone know the location?

That seems a bit overkill for what I want to do. I dont want another program on my phone. I simply would like to change the format of the time on the taskbar. That program adds a second time display next to the already existing one that covers the area where the close button would be.
Anyone have any ideas? I would think the key would be located in the /windows/nls/overides area.. but the only time format key I see is for the long format.
I think it impossible to edit clock format in taskbar.
Clock format can be set in the windows registry:
AM/PM Time Format (Windows Default)
Registry location: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
Keys:
"iTime"="0"
"iTLZero"="0"
"sTimeFormat"="h:mm:ss tt"
24 Hour Time Format
Registry location: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International]
Keys:
"iTime"="1"
"iTLZero"="1"
"sTimeFormat"="HH:mm:ss"
I think this is changeable from Settings > System > Regional Settings.
Click Time tab, change Time Style from h:mm to h:mm:ss tt
This'll also force it to display AM/PM, IIRC.
If this isn't doing it for you, try this registry edit:
\\HKLM\nls\overrides\STFmt = (string) h:mm:ss
If that doesn't do it, someone else might have a fix for you...
Ok, here is the (Cell Tower ID) location based Sleep Management software (earlier called phone switcher).
Saves your battery and works automatically without any manual action once configured
Application is not memory resident so it does not keep running in the background. Does not write anything to registry etc so can be uninstalled cleanly.
Application can run in one of the following modes
• Flight Mode: System automatically switches to flight mode when you are at predefined location (Say Home) based on the time you setup. So when you are at home, say from 10:00 PM to morning 6:00 AM your phone is really sleeping so no one can call your mobile. But if you are not home, then phone remains ON even at night.
• Run Command*: You can configure separate command line applications while ‘entering’ and ‘exiting’ your Sleep Location. So if you want to perform some other actions such as enabling the sounds/vibrations/forwarding etc you need to configure this feature
Run Command* Notes:
• Run command has two settings
o Entering sleep locationo Exiting sleep location.• Either browse for the command line application or copy paste the short cuts on the file and any command line parameters
• Some programs require you to ‘Wake Up’ the device to run, so if needed use that option
• ‘Wait for completion’ is only for advanced configurations. Most of the time it will hang the application. So use if you absolutely need it.
• You can test your run commands from the ‘Test’ menu.
Update history
Update 1.0.3
• Bug Fixed : If you were out of sleep location and returned to sleep location after 12 mid night(with in the sleep period) application would skip the current sleep.
Update 1.0.2
• Better user friendly UI added
• Now the application supports running an external application on command line.
Update 1.0.1
• Multiple locations on the schedule: If you want to set more than one location as you 'Sleep Location' you can do it now.
• Now if you were not at home at set time, system will keep polling based on the poll time you specify. So as soon as you reach home your phone will be switched off.
• If you turned on your phone manually after the rk-Sleep set it to flight mode, then your phone remains on till next scheduled sleep session
It is working on Hermes(WM6), and I have tested it on WM5 emulators. Will NOT work on WM2003.
Setup Instructions:
• You need to be at ‘Sleep Location’ to setup the application.
• In the ‘Locations’ tab, the current location box shows some numbers corresponding to your location.
• Click the button ‘Set as Sleep location’ to add current location as your sleep location. You can add multiple locations as sleep locations.
• On the ‘Schedules’ tab configure the ‘From’ and ‘To’ time fields. (You need to specify time in military time format)
• From the tab ‘Action’ choose if you want to use flight mode or Run Command (you need to set up your enter and exit actions)
• Finally click ‘Enabled’ and click the ‘Save’ menu
That’s all now you are set for ‘Sleep’. You can safely exit rk-Sleep.
The status tab would show you the last action attempt log
Note: This application requires Compact Framework 2.0
You need compact framework 2.0 installed inorder to run this application. The compact framework is already part of WM6, so if your device is WM6 skip this step. But most of the WM5 devices do not have this update. So you must download here and run the installation on your desktop (then active sync to update your device). Only after completing this step install the application.
If you like the application please show your support by replies and or donation on paypal
Download from here
Update 1.0.1
Multiple location on the schedule: If you want to set more than one location as you 'Sleep Location' you can do it now. On the sleep location box bring the context menu up, and choose 'Append to location' now add the new location to the list. You can add any number of sleep locations!
Now if you were not at home at set time, system will keep polling based on the poll time you specify. So as soon as you reach home your phone will be switched off.
If you turned on your phone manually after the rk-Sleep set it to flight mode, then your phone remains on till next scheduled sleep session
Hello,
With this program there would be still another interesting option which one to insert could.
It would thus not have to be possible the flight mode to activate automatically with enters a stored potition dependent on the time.
If someone works in a hospital, he needs to store only the position and every time it is in the hospital the flight mode switched on.
That one could not do also at others locates to use at those handys permitted or desired is I thinks there also of cemeteries.

Great idea!
Is it perhaps possible to tirgger an application (or better: mortscript) upon entering a given location?
(I use mortscript to change call profiles, by copying sound files to overwrite the soundfiles I assigned as ringtones for various contacts. So if I set a "work" profile, the ringtones for different people are overwritten with a soundfile that contains silence, while others are made more discrete. It would be great to be able to automate this!)
Jörg
Instead of enabling flight mode, why not just disabling sound or enabling vibrate only mode?
Thanks

Jörg,
I do not know about mortscripts, but if i make application to run some other exe(say with some command line, Will the mortscript be able to change sound settings, call forwarding etc?

Yes, it should be able to do that. Also, maybe it is better to write it this way, and have your "flight mode application" written as a seperate program to be triggered by your tower-based software. In this way, others can contribute to write any other programs (as plugins) to yours. Anyway, AFAIK, Mortscript can do most of the job and or VJ (not the one above) has some nice collection that you can paired with yours.
Next you can write some scheduling software that will run an application whenever there is a 'Busy' (e.g. meeting) in your schedule (e.g. activate vibrate only mode). Then, with your tower-based software and your scheduling software, you can have a nested tower-schedule, while others can have a bluetooth-pairing based (e.g. execute software when near a paired bt device - change mode when inside your car), then you can stack all these together that will schedule your stuff based on tower-schedule-bt pairing.. WOW... too much software engineering makes you crazy.
Very nice software, but pls if You can, make a addon to change profile based on id, that would be nice. Something like: when i go to work (cell id: XX) phone change profile to vibrate/silent, but when i go back to home phone (cell id:YY) will change profile to loud.
Thx

Yes I know that is where this software will lead to(Hopefully)
But to support multiple locations the progrma gets too complex. But I know that will be a perfect applicaton!
@VJ: I think using mortscript with the tool would defeat the purpose of the tool, because with mortscript you don't need the tool (The current tower, or BTS as I should refer to it to, is available in registry I think)
@tytnguy: kudos to you, great streak with so many useful programs.

Hi,
Great Application that seems to work perfectly. I can see myself using it to help save on battery life.. and also when I enter work where I cant have the phone on.
Don't suppose you'd share how you get the tower information? I tried a method posted on the forums but it doesn't work for me and only works when the data/voice is not connected.
I tried to implement this into an application I use as a backup to give a rough location if GPS location isnt available but never managed to read a sensible string for the towers ID.
(If you'd rather not say I understand fully)
Thanks,
sam
Great!, make a profile changer based on location also, that will be awesome

I LOVE it, actually I've been looking for something like this every since I switched from my Nokia communicator 9000
2 suggestions
1- would it be possible to "rename" locations to something more intuitive?
2- I'd like to be able to trigger an alarm on entering a location that way if u are on a train your phone can wake u up when you reach your destination
thanks

Thanks for the reply,
But right now the application just supports one location, So you are not able to do multiple locations. If you use the slot of managing only alarms its fine. But if you want to do alarm and also in some other location some other action you can not.
But i have that featrue in my list though
To do it, right now you have to set to 'Run Mode' and in the run mode specify any media file, On entering your location the media will be played.
Hi tytnguy,
found a "mini minor" bug in latest version 1.0.3...
If you just append a new location and change nothin other
the Save function don't gets active and so if you just press
OK the new location won't saved and neither the window don't
pop up asking wether you want to save or not.
So you have always to tap any other function on/off additionally
to be able to save Hope you understand this
Next step in version profiles would be great
Best regards,
Olioaglio

Understood, For now to enable the save button you can Uncheck and Check the 'Enable' checkbox as you suggested

I know others also requested it, but what type of 'Profile' you are asking for? Is it changes the sound profiles to change between different sound modes? Or change lot of options such as sound+wifi+bluetooth+backlight+....etc?

I would like location based profiles with different schedule times,
so that you could e.g. install a "Home location" with flightmode from
11pm to 8am (like it is now) and a second profile maybe for work
with flightmode from 12am to 1pm. Or maybe a profile with 24/7 flightmode
on a certain location. Lets say you work in a hospital and while you
enter the lcation phone would turn to flightmode. If you leave phone would
switch on again.
The wifi+bluetooth+beam etc options would be also a geat thing to include
as an option with checkboxes, so one could save even more battery at night
and in sleep location would not be any electro smog.
But for now I can live very good with the program as the main function
works like it should now. One little thing: Found out, that if you reset the
phone within schedule time and phone was turned on (manually) rk-sleep
wont turn it off again. But this may be wanted as not to nag you if you
decide to manually turn on.

What is the Net Compact framework that it needs! I'm running WM5, and it doesn't work on my device and I supose it has got something to do with what I mencioned earlier. Thanks.
I still use the default windows calendar application, but I'd like to find a way to customize it. (or customise, if you prefer).
Under "subject" there is a drop-down menu that I'd like to add to or alter the default settings. I have "Meet with, Lunch, Dinner, Visit, Call", etc., but I'd like to change these to "Dental appointment, Class, Kids activity, On Call at work" or whatever comes to mind. This way I can find these appointments faster.
Any ideas? I've searched for many tweaks but not found these.
What about SPB Diary or any of those programs that enhance your phone's PIM.. have you tried any of those?
I haven't. I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible, without adding a whole bunch of extra software to the phone.
I was hoping it could be found in some hexadecimal registry search or something, but I don't have the time right now to really dig deep. I was just hoping one of the brilliant minds here knew of a way.
please clarify
Dirt,
Under subjects I understand you have entries already added by yourself. have you tried under categories??? I think you might find it easier to use that to find them quicker when searching, noting that it would be just like using the desktop version of outlook. Just a thought, you know.

I have two areas I want to enter things into, Subject, and Location. Both of these are drop-down boxes, with some pre-installed entries in Subject. Nothing is per-installed in Location.
I can simply type what I want into these boxes and it will work, but with the drop-down boxes it would be much easier to simply select one.
Even adding my own entries doesn't add them to the drop-down list for future use.
This is all at the screen of a new calendar appointment, at the very top.
Ok, which version (wm5/6) herald do you have?? I understand you, but what you can't do I can with mine, and its stock.
This is WM6.1 pro.
same problem here..
Ive searched the registry for those default entries. found nothing. maybe in some xml config file...
Hi all, happy New Year!
New to this forum and the Pure and have some questions.
I can't seem to find out how to do this with the phone. I want it to go to a home screen that shows time/date or something like that, after a period of time. In the windows app list I can press the lock button and it gets me to something acceptable, so I thought that might be an option. All settings for the lock require a PIN and I don't want to mess with that (at least right now).
Is this possible?
Another question, is it possible to integrate the installed apps into Manila, rather than having to go to the programs list? (Makes me feel like it's the main folder in Windows 3.x )
Is there a way I can back up the default configuration (ROM, etc) of the phone so if I hack it up too bad I can restore it?
Thanks for any help, still learning how to tweak this thing...
-P
For the autolock change this register value
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDeviceLockEnable; from 0 to 1
You can use total commander its freeware
No! but if you flash ROM with manilla 2.5 you can have up to 20 shortcuts on home screen with mods
Another option for the screen lock is to get csdevctrl:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=386451
You can have it autolock the screen after time, or if you press the power button. As for the programs, you can add more shortcuts with this:

Thanks guys!
I will look into both options.
Now to figure out how to get programs down to it and edit the registry!
