Hey codina, I thought that was the pic on your guide to rooting. It seems quite fitting, if anything it might make a fork

Is that what McGyver's like? Some kind of one man A-Team? Never seen any, only thing I know (Richard Dean Anderson is McGyver) I learnt from The Simpsons.

Yup yup, he could make just about anything usefull out of the bare minimal
If you watched half-baked they kinda make fun of him with the scavanger smokers

Adam, you use Virgin Mobile right? Could you post the APN you use? thanks.

Oooh is that all you need? Most places say you need to set the username to "user" and need to set an IP address too. I'll try it, thanks

Yeah that's all I've bothered to put since I last wiped and even GPRS seems to work somehow.

Wow, you're right, it works! Thanks for the help, this is killer deal compared to my old tariff
Just one question, does "Virgin" appear on your lock screen? It doesn't appear on the lockscreen or notification bar but it shows up in Settings > About > Status. That's on Cyanogen Mod 4.17, on Hero it shows up as normal. When using an O2 SIM the carrier shows up as normal on Cyanogen 4.17.

No it doesn't, I can't remember whether it did on stock rom or not.

Like a virgin, touch for the very first time. What's a virgin?

I want a bra with giant titty cones.

I could get you two traffic cones and a bungee cord

Can you paint them black with white tips?

time on today screen

I recently flashed my 2i with the new o2 rom.. all went well loving the new rom!
however, ive noticed the time/date display is different (top today plugin):

the new one doesnt show the time!
only thing i can think of is I installed the corporate version...
can anyone tell me how to get the time back there?
thanks
I'm afraid I have no idea - but could I ask, what plugin are you using to get your tcp data? (network throughput etc)
Vijay
it's a program called IP Dashboard.
very handy piece of kit, it auto changes depending on what connection is being used: usb/bluetooth/phone/gprs/wifi etc
O2 Active installs its own Time/Date Today plugin which is different to the standard one that you received with the Corporate install.
If when you had the o2 stuff installed you ever looked at your Today options you should have noticed there were two clocks...the stock one, and the o2 active version.
I'm sure there are plenty of utilities and plugins you can get to display the time as well as the date to appear - though why you'd want to when you've also got both on the taskbar is beyond me :? :wink:
Cheers
Ant
i just like it there cause its easy to see in the morning lol.. its a bit bigger...
i dont really know why i have the date in my taskbar.. never look at it :/
i havnt found any plugins that *just* show the time, they all go way overboard
*wonders if anyone has the o2 cab handy*

Er, I do. I got my XDA2i from o2 Insurance (when a fat bastard ran into me and smashed my XDA2 screen in me pocket - twat!) and it's one of the main things (one of those annoying little niggles) that I'm missing. It's handy when you've got the machine turned off, you want to just check the time and you don't want to enter the password just to get it - every other mobile phone user on the planet has that abilty. Also, when you're doing something on the XDA2i and you want to check the time, I don't fancy having to Start / Today, just to get back to the Main Screen just to check out the time - before I just glanced to the Taskbar.
Any ideas how to get this back on the screen? There's no option I can find in Settings...

What language are you using?
Well done, it looks nice, but using your fingers i prefer SPB Mobile Shell from spbsoftwarehouse......
Thx very usefull!
Am I the only one...?
Am I the only one that thinks these kinds of things are pretty pointless? I mean they seem like a good idea at the time - the ability to navigate the start menu by hand seems brilliant. But when you ultimately have to get the stylus out to use the application you just launched, I'm just left wondering if I've saved myself any real time or effort.
in this case i do not think it is useless - you can hit start menu by pressing OK button on the side and then you can navigate to the program menu or last used apps or setting. during having pda in a car holder it can be useful the same way as in bus or tram or what ever... just my opinion
Unfortunately this does not work on my german Vario III. The icon shows but no text and when I click on it I only get a screen refresh.
Ideas anybody?

funnily enough, i'm having the same deal when installed on Hermes WM5
works fine on Touch WM6 though.
i know it's not Kaiser, but people keep putting software threads all over different places in forums when they are not just relevant to one type of device.
Which ROM languages are you using on your devices?
hello english does' nt work with my device i search french cab

Sorry, not sure what I'm looking for, I'm a bit stupid when it comes to technical questions about ROMS etc... where do i look?
both devices have the original T-Mobile ROMS as both are under warranty and I'm too chicken**** to attempt any changes (despite the infuriating lack of storage memory on the Touch... aaaaargh! )
edit -
just realised you might have meant languages as in spoken languages... if so... english.... if not.... i have just proved my stupidity
Thanks that was what I wanted to know. So language seems not to be the only factor. I have german WM6 here and it doesn't work.
Anybody got a german cab (0407)?

HELP! Key Lock not working after enabeling device password

Having gotten no help from HTC im posting this here (previously sent as a support request to HTC)
Afther having set a device password (Settings > Personel > Lock) I'm unable to enable the Key Lock. I checked the following settings:
- Settings, Long Press End Key is set to Automatically Execute: Lock Device
- Settings, Key Lock is set to Lock all buttons except Power button.
I get no error messages, the only thing I see when holding the End Key is a short flicker of the screen, after which the Home Screen comes up. Do note that the keys are not appropriately locked.
ROM version installed is latest HTC original ROM:
_HTC Touch Diamond_MR_RUU_Diamond_HTC_NOR_2.03.409.1_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
So far all i have gotten from HTC is the following response:
Dear Sir/Madame, Thank you for contacting HTC Europe. We can confirm that this is a feature on the Touch HD. It might change in future updates, but at the moment the setting cannot be changed. We hope this will answer you question but feel free to contact us again. Best Regards, Alex Nyberg HTC Europe www.europe.htc.com

Don't know if it's just an automated respons or they just can't be bothered to give a sane message.
1) Why are they refering to Touch HD when I clearly stated that it was the Diamond i was refering to
2) They can't seriously expect anybody to belive that it works as intended and you aren't supposed to be able to lock you phone when you have set up a device password
Does anybody have a fix or any experience with how to get though to HTC?
Hi,
Take a look at this topic and post #108, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=473457&page=11
FormerPalmOS said:
This changed in SYS version 20954. It's not a bug - Microsoft decided we wanted it this way. LongEndKeyPress just simulates a keypress of F22. F22 used to call the KeyLock. With 20954 it changes to call DeviceLock if a PIN is set, KeyLock if not.
Search for and use TouchLockPro for screen locking. If not using TF3D, the today screen lock plug-in works as you would expect. LongEndKeyPress will always be broken.

Sounds really odd, but I got what I wanted with TouchLockPro software.
Touch HD is having the same "issue" and maybe that explains HTC supports reply.
Thanks Meiz, that actualy made a stange kind of sence. Couldn't help my self probing HTC a bit more so i replied to their original answer with:
Are you really telling me that im not supposed to be able to use the Lock Device function when a device password is set? Im sorry but that seems totally insane!

While this is good and all, it seems they haven't uploaded the file yet.

German: www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=563
Yeah, seen it, but never encountered the bug myself. Not sure if I should update.
I actually didn't notice this bug on my Diamond2 until they posted this hotfix. You have to look more closely on the screen to see the slightly cutoff "WiFi, Bluetooth, phone, data" display.
They posted a hotfix just for that?!
Hi guys...
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=563
There are SO many bugs in the device, this is the last one I was thinking about. In the last couple of days I was e-mailing HTC's tech-support like a nut. Hopefully they will do something to fix all of them.
Someone to paste a picture of this "bug", please. I don't see any on my screen.

That's a picture from my own phone... As you can see it's a small line just at the top of the words WiFi, Bluetooth, Telefoon and Gegevens that's missing.
However, it's very nice that they actually post a hotfix, especially if you can't download it...
Now you can download the hotfix from HTC web site

Gray/White square in the top left - why?

When I'm

- or lock the device
- using other programs
often there appears a little square in the top left and stays there, even after exit of e.g. Opera:

No, I'm using the original ROM.
Somestimes the square disappears for a while, then comes back, e.g. after launching opera, album view. Where does it come from?
I already asked for this.
The problem is: Finger Keyboard 2.1
The solution is very easy: you just need to set "show bar" on the option screen of FK to resolve this problem

The problem is: Finger Keyboard 2.1

Indeed I'm using FK 2.1. Will try your solution and will give feedback here.
Questions:
1. Both bars in portrait and landscape mode?
2. Do the authors of FK know about this issue? Or should I tell them?
And : How did you get this solution - wouldn't have thought of FK for this issue ...
edit: Seems to work. Square disappears immediately after changing the option in FingerKeyboard. Will keep on watching ....
Thank you very much!
edit2: Alle questions are answered now by reading the FK-Thread . Thanks
If i remember correctly i found the solution in the Finger keyboard 2.1 thread, here in xda.
I don't remember who wrote it...i just searched for it when i had this problem and asked for a solution in this forum.
Glad you resolved this problem too
