How to refresh Today?

I have a little problem regarding the size of the desktop / Today screen on my PDA (Wizard @ WM6).
When I connect my PDA to my PC with AS, additional icon appears in the tray (even though I removed init_tray.lnk) - but that's not the problem itself.
The problem is that additional sliding bar appears on the right side of the screen. The Today plugins do not fit the Desktop anymore, so all the contents of Today is "squezzed" and moved a little bit to the left to make space for the sliding bar.
When I disconnect, the icon & additional bar disappear but the Today items do not go back to fill the whole screen, but keep "squeezed" :O I haven't managed to find any option to refresh Today screen in order to make it filled with the plugins again.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this, please?

Its a long shot, but if you were to go to Settings->Today-> Items, and click on ok (without doing much there), most of the plugins will refresh.

You could try this.....

That would almost certainly work - if you fancy a few less taps to achieve the same result, then there is a program that should (not tested it myself, so not 100% sure!) do the job for you.
Get it from http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=refresh_today - the author, t0flus, is an xda-devs member (his Group SMS app is posted on one of the forums), so he may be able to offer assistance if needed.
I'm guessing all you'd need to do is to copy the exe onto your phone and stick a shortcut to it in your programs menu.
Cheers,
Mark.

I have the same problem on mine and all I do is slide the keyboard out about halfway so it changes the screen to landscape and then slide it back in and everything goes back to the way it was before. No software needed.

Problem with Large Start menu on non HTC devices

hi there!
I downloaded JUVS HTC Large Titlebar and HTC Enlarge Start menu CABs and installed both on my E-TEN M800 (VGA).
They installed fine and I now have the "large start menu" item in my system settings.
But when I check the checkbox to turn it on, it still doesnt enlarge.
I rebooted the device and still nothing. I basically only need the zooming of the notification icons in the start-bar.
have I missed something? do i need additional files?
thanks
Bernhard

the old one just for QVGA, try this one, but dun know can it work on ETEN

thanks, but it doesn't work.
maybe it needs touchFLO so its only activated when you use the finger? or something like that?

No touchflow wouldnt make a difference on this. Unfortunatly some of the items on here will only work with HTC devices and i think this may well be one of them im afraid. Unless anyone else can shed any light

Tried the Large Start Menu once on my iPAQ, and what I found was that the service (htcStartMenuService.dll) doesn't automatically start. Using DotFred's Taskmanager to manually start the service made the large start menu appear... until the next soft reset.
The same thing probably happens with the large titlebar thing.

thanks ridolfo, this works!
now i have to find a way to start it automatically on reboot
makes my e-ten even more userfriendly!
edit: i just added this nice and useful taskmanager to my StartMenu and on reboot, i open it, go to the services tab and click the little start icon for the LargeTitleBar service. thats it.
works like a charm.

IIRC, you can even open it on the services tab, using a command-line switch. Have a look in the "About" screen for possible command-line switches (I think it's in the "About" screen, but I'm not sure).
I'm still hoping that someone can explain why some of the HTC services do auto-start, but others don't.

yes, because when you install the LargeTitleBar it correctly creates its entry in the Registry and is bound to be started, but somehow it doesnt.

In my brand new HTC Touch Cruise, large menu option is ticked, but after playing around with apps or settings it becomes small, allthough it's still ticked. I have to disable and reenable it to make it big again. It's a bit of a problem, as it happens often. Advice would be appreciated.

same problem
couldn't this problem be fixed by some registry entires ?
I mean to put an application into autostart shouldn't be a problem, well for me, as a hardcore newp it is acutally, but maybe not fo you guys
on my xperia x1 i've got the same problem .

Hi! at all!
Have you found a solution?

Some Fuze questions

I just got my fuze and have a few questions:
1) What is the easiest way to get push gmail on here? Is it through IMAP idle?
2) How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?
3) I've been able to disable the PTT button through the registry, but is there any known way to make it a dedicated button for camera, connection settings, etc?
4) How can I change it so that the whole d-pad and 4 buttons under the screen light up via sensor or at least don't shut off as fast?
5) Is there a way to disable the annoying keyboard that comes up on screen when in landscape mode (e.g. like when in a text input box in a browser window)
6) Is there a way to change the items that are listed under the internet touchflo tab?
7) How can I change the location of the images that are pulled in the photo/videos tab for the flip thru? Like I have customized folders on my memory card that I want it to see for the images.
8) What is the easiest way to autofill a recipient for text messages? I seem to be getting inconsistencies when I hit either enter, down, d-pad down, or d-pad center. Sometimes it autofills it, sometimes it goes to the message entry box and other times it pulls up the phonebook.
9) I did that customize your battery icons *.cab by someone on here and it mad it so that I always have a plugged in icon up top instead of a battery or a percentage. I can't find the *.dll to remove... Any tips?
Thanks, everyone!

Wow, that's a lot of questions that search can answer for you.
How can I adjust the memory usage so that most of my storage memory is used for current program memory (RAM) as I have a 4gb MicroSD card in there?

The internal storage should be used for installing all applications on. The Memory expantion card should only be used to store cab's, music, pictures, video's etc. It should not be used to run any applications from, it's just too slow.

The only thing I was KIND OF able to find an answer to is the gmail issue. I apologize if you are able to find something I'm not. I don't know what to search for for the other things... Could you maybe point me in the right direction?

Someone developed some push settings that can be installed as a service on the device but you have to start the background service every time you restart the phone.
Also - Is it normal that when an alarm or notification (like with the calendar) goes off, there is no pop up notification? I have to actually click the little alarm icon... Kind of annoying?

Not sure on the alarm thing I hate WM alarm I use SPB Clock its got a great alarm on it. Let me know if your "interested" in it.
Can you give me a link on where I can find this push service? I hardly ever rest my phone so thats fine with me

Hey - Do you know how I can add a YouTube shortcut to the program launcher or start menu? Right now, the *.exe is just in the Windows folder.

I think you should start by installing advanced configuration tool by Schaps, that will allow you to do amny of the things you listed, and allows remapping of keys, and has a touchflo configuration tool. It won't solve all your problems but it's a start.
As for gmail, i'd check out a beta software available from a company called Seven who make xpressmail for AT&T. Their beta software supports AOL, Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, & work email systems for push features. IT's pretty nice. Make sure you get their beta software. I'm using it on my tilt right now, i'll be checking it on my Fuze this afternoon when i get to the store to buy one.

locat the folder its in copy it go to the program files folder and paste a shortcut Rename it if you want. Then add it like you would any other one in the list.
I will PM you when I get home.

The shortcut didnt work. I created it in the my device -> programs folder (which had all subfolders in it) but it doesnt show in the touchflo programs launcher or the menu settings where i can add stuff to the programs menu? Also I have an MP3 in the windows folder but it won't show up in the ringtone settings. Any advice?

unknown bar on today screen

Hy, everyone,
i set up my tp for new & now i have a bar (very fine white line) on my today screen, from which i dont know where it comes from, but im sure i ve made it by playing around with a tool prog. the bar changes the wideness, ie the right position differs sometimes, i think it could be a bar showing the quality of the signal strengh from the phone... (see attached file)
Anyone knows from where this mysterical line comes?? ;-)
Thanx for your time & thinking, sorry for my bad english

Does that bar get bigger when you charge the battery and smaller when you don't?

No, the changing doesnt depend on charging: That does the upper bat from batti... (upper end of screen)

Sometimes you can figure out weird stuff like that with dotfred's task manager. If it's a real thing and not a glitch, it's probably a shell32 window. Long press on shell32, select details, then go to the windows tab. Start long-pressing on the windows, select "highlight," or "show" then "highlight." Sooner or later, that thing may pop up, lol.
If it's not in shell32, then maybe it's in GWES or device.exe or some weird process you have running all the time (like whitebar.exe).

BINGO!!!
the first app i tried to kill with the taskmanager was qwertymemory.exe and... the bar is gone... great, your the man!
the next thing is to find out how to deinstall this app, cause i didnt find an installed app that is responsible for loading this qwertymemory.exe...
Thx a lot...

Check your startup folder; you may at least be able to keep it from running after a reset.

Found it: its not startet in the startup Folder, but in the registry: Here i found some Progs that have been startet without an entry in the startup folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher
Maybe this "startup-registry entry" usefull for anyone...

Alternative to wkTask?

At this point I don't care if icons show on the top bar (love it but I can settle for something else). I just want to be able to see and close software that is up and the HTC task manager loves to hide it. Thanks!

PRBar works great. I have been using it for a while. (Since the HTC Wizard) It shows up with drop down arrow where the clock would be. It also has the ability to show you the free ram, and time on the taskbar. It has a tiny footprint too so you dont have to worry about a memory hog. I have noticed that on some builds it can slow manila down so check it out and if it works ok, if it doesn't just delete the exe file (after you close pbar of course). All you have to do is run the exe file and tap the options to enable it to run after a soft reset among other options. Hope you like it.

Thanks. I did try it but I didn't like that is was sort of hard to click on the tiny icon. I am thinking I would just take some programs off of the exclusive list on HTC task manager. Gotta find which ones that will be safe (definetly want to do activesync/repog or whatever).

What problem/conflict are you having with wkTask? I've used it for a long time and I'm wondering what sort of problem you're having.

It would close the start menu and I wouldn't be able to get settings. I think I did a fix for it but then I forgot if something else went wrong. I might try again though.
oh yeah Start menu would show up even when I said to hide it. It would hide it but then show up again. It was annoying. would love if someone took over it and get it working perfectly with 6.5

I know what you are talking about but you don't have to tap precisely on the downward arrow. Just tap and hold next to that arrow on the empty space on the taskbar and it brings up the menu. I never even touch that arrow...lol. Maybe that will make it more useful for you...lol.

I love WKTask but it hasn't been updated in a long time. It closes Start if you hit X in the start menu on 6.5 and you have to reboot the phone to get it back. I love how easy it is to switch between tasks using it though and the battery bar at the top.

Oh lol did not try that. I switched back to HTC task manager and getting real used to it now. But I might check out pbar again with those important instructions.
