HTC Viva Weather Tab problem - Touch Viva, MDA Basic General

Hi folks,
I own an HTC Touch Viva. Till saturday, I was able to add locations in the weather tab. I installed M2DC on Sunday. Today, when I checked the weather tab, the 'Add Location' option in the menu was disabled. I tried restarting the phone. But, it is nt working. :-(. There are just two options available in the menu viz.'Settings' and 'About'.
Is it the effect of installing M2DC? In tht case its sad because it is a wonderful piece of s/w.
Pls suggest me as to wot I shud do. Thnx in advance.
I have one more doubt folks. I noticed some performance lag after installing M2DC. Is it normal or did i do something wrong in the installation process?

Hi There,
I am having the same problem. I tried restoring the factory settings, and then the weather tab worked fine for the next 2 to 3 days, then again it was gone. Meanwhile I installed only MS Reader.
I called up HTC Guys, and they said restore factory settings. Doing that again and again is really uncomfortable you know..
Please help if anybody has a clue.
Rgds,
Paritosh

facing the same problem but havent installed M2DC. i dont know what's M2DC, actually.
anyway, i will suggest tp install SPB Mobile Shell 3.0, it has weather app along with many more cities database. (though Shell 3.5 is released, it's not sugested for Viva, it slows down).

Giving this a big kick 'cause I'm having the same problem. No options show up when setting up the weather, and Select and the Menu-options won't work either.

Have u guys tried installing a newer version of HTC HOME?
font problems
Ronen, you being Israeli, i suppose you have hebrew installed.
Disable it, soft reset, and set the weather location. then enable the hebrew again.
Worked for me. Mine is set to Netanya now.
Not working for me either. I tried using HHC 0.8b and 1.0 with no luck on several cities in my area. Running version of HTC home in Schaps 4.3 rom.
I remember you used to have to edit the weather database with notepad to add your city then copy back to ppc. Doesn't work either. I disabled the weather tab and am using xcast.
Try going to http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/
I also had to manipulate my connection settings - but that only applies to media net in the USA - I had to disable the proxy and in my Work connection, tell it to connect to the internet
GuyGush- you are a genious!!!
Disabled the additional language and was able to choose NYC for my city!

HTC Home Weather and Quickdial
I solved problem with my German MDA Vario II:
With HHC software I changed the default language of HTC Home. After that everything started to function! It was so easy, byt I looked everywhere for days without finding this anywhere.
Hope it will solve the problem with all other HTC users.
Find this software: HHCv10Final.CAB

I've been running Ultimatelaunch for about a month (unregistered) with no stability issues.
Try searching here. They have answered a lot of questions. If you don't find it then post. They are pretty good about getting you an answer.
no issue for me I use it with SPB mobile shell , pocket plus, pocket weather, rltoday
Do not put today plugins inside UL and on the today screen at the same time .... that causes me problems

Yeah, make sure all today plugins that you want INSIDE the Ultimate Launch are UNCHECKED to be on your Today Screen.

I am using PhoneAlarm on the Today Screen and the following inside of Ultimate Launch
Weather Panel
Battery Status
Today Agenda
Seems to work with one exception.
If I go to Mail, open the keyboard (Rotate Screen) then go to the today screen and close the keyboard, INSTANT LOCKUP. If I stay in mail, and go back to the closed position, I am fine.... Otherwise seems to be working.
i have been having problems too... since i installed UL my user interface has been extremely lagging. and i have tried all kinds of ways to get it working perfectly like how everyone says it works.
a lot of people says it works perfectly with out anything, but wheni have it installed it laggs up unbelievably...
i even have to put a back up until the latest time in order to get everything working.
hi,
i´m using ul for 2 month now and everything works fine! i use todayagenda and htc home inside ul and the wireless today plugin above and my mailprogram (tobit david) among ul.

Never install Today Plugins to your Storage Card, that can cause problems!
Hi there guys,
been searching if anybody had the following problem, then i stumbled on this thread, where somebody might be able to help me.
I had a qtek 9100 before with ultimatelaunch, with today plugins in ultimatelaunch. This worked perfectly, nothing wrong.
Recently, i purchased a Kaiser (to be precise, a T-mobile MDA Vario 3), on which i tried to run Ultimatelaunch. Everything works fine, except after i launched an application & go back to the today screen. When i run tomtom for example, and i go back to the today screen, the ultimatelaunch part is not automatically refreshed. If i just press in the area once, its redrawn. Does anybody have the same issue, or even better, a suggestion on how to solve it?
thnx in advance,
greetings hawkeye
out of curiosity what did you guys put in your UL, app wise?
My system backs up nightly and I soft reset after every backup. I believe this eliminates many issues with my system.
After 3 weeks of testing, I do not have lockups with this combination.

does anyone find that activating the htc home screen on start up cause problems? or better yet does anyone have any tabs that they activate on start up?

HTC Home works fine for me.
All my tabs (just three), have activate on startup enabled.

Problem is that HHC check if HTC Home Plugin is enabled at startup.
Because it thinks it's not, it starts HHC. After making changes, it will try to copy changed file's to HTC Home directory. Because HTC Home is loaded into Ultimate Launch that will fail, and make Ultimate Launch crash!
Best for you to do is, disable Ultimate Launch on your today screen, start HHC and make changes to plugin, then after applying re-enable Ultimate Launch. (Uncheck HTC Home, it's auto enabled trough HHC.)
That should work for you.

Problem with SPB Pocket Plus & WM6.1...?

Hi there
Does anyone else use SPB Pocket Plus (latest version V4.0.2 - Dec 07) and WM6.1 and suffer the annoying problem where the today plugin icons don't pickup correctly after a reset?
It's easily fixed by clicking to refresh all tabs, but surely it shouldn't do it???
I'm also suffering a problem whereby not all text messages are received by my phone. (I posted in the General section with no joy - am hoping that you software guys may know if something conflicts?!) It's very strange as the phone lights up as if a text is coming through, then nothing happens. I've tried a Hard Reset and restore to no avail.
Wierd thing is, my mate has a Kaiser on Vodafone UK (V1615) running WM6.0 and he has the same problem - I'm on O2-UK so it's not a carrier problem.
I set his Kaiser up for him with much the same software as mine, including SPB PocketPlus V4.0.2...
I also (I know, I'm sorry!) have a problem with the today screen if I change things... For example, if I change the backdrop via Pictures and Video's, more often than not the phone will hang requiring a stylus reset. Am wondering if this is SPB PocketPlus related???
Any idea's? (Sorry about the multi questions!!)
Cheers
sorry about the double post!

As far as the PocketPlus, I am using it and I haven't had a problem at all with the icons or anything else for that matter. I haven't had any problems with the txt msgs either. You may need to reset the mms server?? I don't know about that, I just remember reading about it in another thread somewhere... As for the backdrop change, that's not a pocket plus related conflict. I am not sure what else you have installed, but I have changed mine multiple times in the past 2 days and haven't had a single problem or anything that told me I had reset or that I needed to soft reset the phone. I would suggest unistalling the Pocket Plus and reinstalling it. I know that I have had to do that before because of one of the other SPB proggies i used had changed some values in the registry for it. Otherwise, I would contact SPB, they would know how to fix it. Unless you didn't purchase it...
Hi Killerbeans!
I'v tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times to no avail unfortunately
The only other things I have installed (all bought and paid for!) that startup with the phone are SKTools (set to performance optimisation) and Kasperski AntiVirus...
I might try uninstalling those and SPB and reinstalling them one by one...
Cheers for the response though!
I have been havng the spb problems since 6.1 installation as well (I am with AT&T in the US, original Kaiser).
Thanks for pointing out the "Refresh All Tabs" option...I have to stupidly admit that I was not aware of it and I have been fixing the icons one at at a time....very boring...However, I have no solution to offer to the problem, other than to verify that it is a real one.
Hmm running fine on my kaiser with the hyperdragon roms...
Are you using the "close button" plugin? if so, did you enter tmail.exe and poutlook.exe as exceptions? don;t doing this could lead to problems
for the icons, I have the same problems too sometimes, did you install it on main memory? are the missing icons from programs installed on storagecard?
there is an option under today plugins->advanced, "refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." try enabling that and see if it helps
Bartus
Hi guys!
Thanks for the responses! It's 'good' to know it's not just me having the SPB problem, although not good that it's happening at all!
I've installed it on Storage Card (as I have since my Wizard days). Using SKTools I've set the SDDeamon to startup 1st so was hoping that'd sort it... it didn't
I'm glad the refresh all tabs helped!
I've added those exceptions Bartus so I'll report back! I have the refresh icons when storage card inserted already which doesn't seem to work. It is the apps located on the storage card that don't load though so it has do be something to do with that.
Go back to 4.0.1 it doesn't have the problem.
Hi Sirooga
I'll give that a try, if I still have it on my HDD!
Cheers!

Today Plugin Problems
I also use pocket plus on my Tilt, and it is apparently version 4.0.2 build 6227. What really annoys me is that the today plugin worked perfectly on wm 6.0, but after that &[email protected]#! 6.1 upgrade, it works fine for a few hours after I installed a lot of programs and soft resetted a bunch, until I backed up my phone. After using sprite Backup 5 ONCE, it deletes all my tabs and icons in the plugin and doesn't remember them no matter what I do. It still is checked in the today plugins menu, but it isn't there as there is nothing for it to show. SPB's got some serious work to do.

Spb 4.01 works far better than 4.02 IMO.

WM 6.5 | Part of taskbar missing, HELP!

Hi,
Since a while part of my taskbar is missing. Well, most of the time it is: when I close a program is is totally visible for a very shot while. (See screenshots)
I've allready installed other taskbarthemes using sdkcert, but no improvement..
Anybody got a solution??
Gr,
EdjuH82
I have seen several discussions about making the OK/Close button larger so that you can use your finger rather than the stylus. There may be some ROMS that include this feature and perhaps yours is one of them that is malfunctioning.
I would hard reset if you like your ROM. If not, flash a new one and the problem will go away.
Doug M.
i wouldn't go so far to hard reset anything right away- i would install an sdkcerts and then soft reset and then install a taskbar skin cab found on these forums and see if that fixes things
GustavTheLion's,
I allready installed an other taskbarskin, this didn't help..
The problem accured after I installed a game, which wouldn't work (so I removed it right away. Today I turned the function off that says that puts the time in your taskbar when you run a program and now the problem only accures on the 'home-screen'.
Dwmackay,
An hard reset is an option, but it's the very last one. Maybe there are other sollutions?
Thnx for your replys!
Well guys, I hard-resetted the device and the problem is solved.
But I'm still curious what the problem was, so if anyone can explain it to me.. be my guest

Tap Here to launch touchflo error

i had a skin installed,i.e a cab file.earlier i installed skins on my viva(opal)without any error but now it shows 'Tap Here to launch touchflo' and then even after tapping nothing happens..the phone just shows 'initialising touchflo' message and then again says 'tap here....'.any1 have a solution for this.pls help.
so do u want the touch flow or not?
ya of course i want the touchflo its so cool.pls sum1 help.
Solution:Tap Here to launch touchflo error
If you have M2D customizer, just open it & go to Launcher tab then change settings to Number of Columns: Three and Number of Rows: Six. Apply and ok.
One Solution
Another solution is....well let me change the course of thought...theres a new today screen plug-in that strikes a similar look to TouchFlo but with a cooler look Check it out.
