Hey I got my XDA Exec this morning which I'm really please about, been using it for a couple of hours but for some reason the clock has disappeared from the title bar in the today screen and I can't get it back!
Does anyone know what might have happened, about the only thing I've got installed is Pocket Plus 3.
Infact i've noticed that the volume icon is gone too, but if i click where it should be the pop-up appears for me to change the volume levels.
It's like there is something covering these two icons and it's driving me mad, having the time visible there is about one of the most useful things :twisted:
This is a common problem
This happened to me too. It was caused by the O2 software. If you do a search on this site using the words "clock missing" there have been many posts on this subject and the solutions of how to remove the O2 software are posted too.
The O2 interface also seems to slow up the machine and cause a lot of freezing requiring a soft reset. My machine has been tons better since removing it.
If you decide that you would rather have the clock than the O2 software (and most people do) and decide to remove it, remember first of all to save your phone and GPRS setting to your filestore! This can save you a lot of time. If you like the 02 today screen theme then you could save this too.
Also I recommend that you make a backup first so that you can go back to how you are now if you need to.
Good Luck
Open the clock and you should find an extra tab at the bottom called - "More" select that and a new option appears Display the clock on the title bar in all programs.
Neither of those options worked, in the end I hard resetted the device and set it up in corporate mode I found using a PIN I got by just searching google! No more O2 Active anywhere, and I've got my clock back! I'd only had the device a few hours so luckily it didn't take too long to set everything back up how it was before hand The only thing I had to do was manually set up the GPRS connection again but that was simple enough since I already had all the settings saved

I have a MDA Vario. In SETTINGS --> TODAY --> ITEMS tab, what is "Today timeout", which is set at "4 hr" by default?? Does anyone know pls? I do not see any reference to it in the manual. Thx.

I think that's the amount of time after which it will return to the today screen if you left it with an app open and didn't touch it.
i tried it last night by leaving a game running, but it was still there when i got up the next day. it does seem to be the function u described, mate. Anyone else have any ideas pls?
A game will certainly work differently as it will request permanent focus and fullscreen. Just try with a standard app like calendar...
well, it was only a simple solitaire card game, but nonetheless I will try standard one like you suggested. But if this "timeout" function really is to return to TODAY screen, what is the real use of it? to timeout in 4 hours? and the longest possible time option is 12 hours.
Doesn't it simply stop refreshing the today screen (ie the clock and other values)?
It still refreshes the clock when you put it into sleep mode. However, after a number of hours it always takes some time for the clock to jump to the correct time.
It is the idle time before the Today screen is shown.
It's near useless, I almost always keep my today screen on anyway, because who wants to wait 4hours to see it
Use my TodayButton app if you want quick access to the Today screen...

personally, I always return to the TODAY screen anyway by shutting down applications after i'm done with them. I just thought this "timeout" thing was a sophisticated and useful function, but it turns out to be quite the opposite. But i will never understand why anyone want to design it to timeout in HOURS and not in minutes.
I'm the same, I shut down apps and always leave it on the Today screen!

Doesn't the Red button do that anyway?
Nah, red button minimises apps to leave them running in the background (I think it actually just switches to the today screen). Some don't mind this, but for me, if I want the app open, I'll open it, and when I want it closed, I want it closed.
VJOkButt allows you to use the red button to minimse or close, and also properly close the phone to save around 3mb memory. But it does this sympathetically with the phone, so if you're in the phone, it hangs up, but otherwise it's a minimiser.

Morale of the story.... no one knows it. I always keep it disabled. So no big deal.
Had PDF softcopy of Reference Manual of my O2AL, and searched with no hint at all. Lets be it.....
I thought...
Guys,
I just stumbled upon this thread and thought it might be a good idea to get educated. I never knew it.
But this is what I thought - I thought it is the time slot to show appointments.
Means, if you chose a slot of 4 hours, and there are continuous meetings scheduled in your calender (and display of them enabled), then it would act like a rolling 4 hours window (read as slot).
Does this make sense? I never had so many appointmens, but always thought this was the use of it.
Comments please.
What will I be missing If I stop the T-Mobile Customization from going through? What will I gain? I feel there are things missing or Hidden after the customization. Also, how do I do this sucessfully?
well im a newbie here but i can tell you that you gain an icon on your home screen that loks like a pda, and when you tap it your screen goes in to landscape mode, tap it again and it stays in landscape but changes orientation, tap it again and it goes back to normal. i personally like this feature alot it's very useful when you're playing a game or browsing the internet because you no longer have to slide the keyboard open. aside from that i don't think i don't really see any changes, but someone on this forum probably knows better than i. they way i did it was i pulled the battery right after you finish calibrating the screen and it asks you to tap again to continue.
You're not goin to miss much, but you'll gain alot like a boost in storage memory and a little boost in RAM. You won't have E-Mail Wizard, Oz IM, WinWap, T-Mobile Hotspot Login, and another program but you can move them to storage card and run them from there before you do the trick anyways. As for the trick itself all you have to do is a hard reset, then after you configured the screen and created (or not) a passcode, a screen comes up to Tap Screen to finish. Have you're stylus ready to soft reset at this point. Tap the screen and the default WM6 screen loads up along with a popup saying that it will finish customizing in 3 seconds. Soft reset before the 3 seconds are up and you my friend have a friendlier, healthier T-Mobile Wing. Just don't forget to feed it some healthy .cabs and if you're daring enough some registry tweaks. Enjoy!
i think the only thing i am afraid of losing is Voice Command and transcribe (yes I am the one who uses it. I never have a pen or paper handy). also really really want to try the Wing rom with touch.. wondering just how daring I really am.
Don't worry, you won't lose either of them as they're both WM6 apps. All you lose is a bunch of T-Mo junk, that's all.

I just hard reset last night and rebooted before the TMO customizations. One thing I noticed missing on the Today screen is an option for TMO ONS which displays Bluetooth & WiFi status. I was unable to get it added, but I assume it's either a registry change or a simple install.
Just to clear something up
If I do this trick I wont have access to the email program and IM? I have to save it onto the card?
if the wing functions like the mda, you just need total commander...run the program and change the directory to \extended_rom ...you need to type it in...and from there, just copy the cab files for the oz messenger over to your storage card. (or you can just do the whole soft reset thing and you should be able to run the cab from the extended rom).
Hi, Anyone else have the problem of the today items not refreshing on the start screen?
I mean like htc home, I change options or even untick it in today , and it still shows on the start screen until i soft reset.
Very strange.
Cheers.
Hheeelpppp !!!
Here too
I am having that problem too. Still trying to figure out what caused it. I had it before and the only way to fix it was to hard reset.
This time I paid attention and it started after i installed the newest Resco Explorer. I asked them for assistance and all I got was that since the problem wasn't inside Resco's software they can't help me. To be fair I don't know if their software caused it, all I know is that is that it started after I installed their software.
I have found that another way to get the Today screen to refresh is to change the Today screen's theme..
Hi, at least its not just me then. It's like i have HTC home, when i untick it in today screen, it still stays on my start screen. the only thing to do then is soft reset and it is off then. But its a pain when i am changing appearances etc as i have to untick,reset,change,tick,reset etc.
please help!!
I recently updated the firmware on my X1i and entered all my reminders again. The problem is that even though the correct check boxes are checked there is still the problem that the sound wont play and the bubble doesn't appear to notify me.
Any ideas?
fix reminders
i had this issue, and i dont remember where i found this solution, but im pretty sure its a common one. I dont know why this works, but it does
start/settings/system/clocks and alarms
switch your time to "visiting, hit ok and exit the clocks and alarms settings.
then open it again, switch back to "home" time, and viola!
I dont know why this works, but it does, and it usually sticks for quite a while, though i do occasionally have to do it again which is still unacceptable in my book, but I have yet to find a better solution than this.
Thankyou
This has fixed my problem, thanks loads.

Reminders no longer working, sound or pop up notification
Many thanks, confirm this fix of changing between clock 'Home' and 'Visiting' locations (along with saying yes to coresponding change of calendar times each time) fixed this issue for me to.
For reference I was using stock Sony R3A rom and believe this happened after I silenced an alarm set via the SPB Mobile Shell panel downloaded off Sony's own site. (Old WM, New X1 user so been holding off my re-flashing itch ;-)
Hi so this is what frequently happens, I lose the top bar on the screen (start icons etc) which needs a restart to get back, sometimes the screen will not go black when the power putton is pressed(for locking), holding the end call button to lock the phone dosent work at all even after restart(not that i use it), also the email icons where you flick down and up to get a preview often dosent work and the email opens instead(happend from the start).
So what i would like to know is what can i do about this I assume there is a new rom out there that is really nice and stable but which do you suggest? I would like one which replaces the alarm setting in the default rom as that is so annoying. Also I use the youtube program all the time and I would like to still have the zoom bar in opera. your advice is really appreciated.
Im getting some of these problems, sorry dont know what to sugest! but my end key has never locked my phone it ends data conection ok !!??
Paul.
Have you tried a hard reset?
There are many great roms each Rom has a thread you can check them out to see what they have and what they can do it depends on your preferences not others
