Clock on Titlebar in Today Screen

Can someone please tell me if having the "Display the clock on the titlebar in all programs" option checked in the Clock & Alarms settings of Windows Mobile 6.1 will normally display the clock on the titlebar on the Today screen?
I ask because I recently uninstalled Spb Pocket Plus 4.1, and since that time the clock never displays in the titlebar on the Today screen (though it does in every other program). Instead I get the battery indicator. I've tried checking and unchecking the option in the Clock & Alarms settings, as well as have re-installed and uninstalled Spb Pocket Plus several times. I've also attempted to check the registry for any residual Pocket Plus stuff (after uninstall) but haven't been able to come across anything.
When Pocket Plus is installed, the clock displays in all programs (including the today screen), whether or not I have the SpbPP Battery plugin enabled.
Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm using UltimateLaunch, and thus I don't have a clock on all my Today screen tabs, so it's important to me.
Thanks!

If you have Advanced Config installed, then lauch it, and select on Today > "Show on Title bar:" select Clock (default)
If not installed:
Code:
Restore clock on top bar
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 (enable)
"ShowTitleBarClock"=0 (disable)
from the Hermes wiki but should work for you too

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock didn't exist on my phone (and adding it as a DWORD value didn't seem to help). So I downloaded Advanced Config, and it works beautifully.
Thanks!

Glad I could help you

Problem with Alarm on Lockscreen

Hi all,
Wonder if anybody can help me.
Hope i've placed this in the right place as this is my first time posting a new thread. Sorry if it's not.
I'm having a problem with the alarm on my lockscreen.
When the alarm goes off, the snooze or dismiss option has disappeared off my lockscreen. I have to unlock my phone, click on the top taskbar and dismiss it that way.
Has anybody else had the same problem or does anybody know how to fix it?
Many thanks.

Snap...
Anyone with ideas?

Hopefully someone will have an idea how to fix it.
Fingers crossed.

Same problem here. And it's not just the alarm clock that is a problem, the same thing happens with tasks and reminders from the calendar.
I used to be able to just clicl snooze/dismiss from the main locked screen. Now I have to unlock, tap the taskbar, view notifications, dismiss.
Does anyone have a reason/solution?

same problem - now solved
Hello,
had the same problem and was watching this thread
I use the latest RTT rom (win mobile 6.5.x?)
At first I went to the windows settings (Manila settings => menue => more => sounds ... => sounds => events? - check box set => OK)
Because I've a german rom I don't know if previous translation is ok - therefore the way in German:
(Manila Einstellungen => Menü => Mehr => Sounds & Benachricht. => Sounds => Ereignisse (Warnungen, Systemereignisse) - Check box setzen => OK)
Then - I don't know whether it is necessary - I set in Manila Settings => Sound & Display => "Eine Lautstärke/Systemlautstärke verwenden" - my translation?: use same volume for system & phone.
also in Manila Settings => Sound & Display => Klingeltöne / Benachrichtigungstöne (ring tone? / notification tone?) => I checked whether Erinnerungen (reminder?) is "on" - I also switched New message to "on".
Finally I set a test alarm - via the windows alarm icon (found in programms), NOT the home tab Manila alarm - and it worked - the alarm is now appearing in lock screen mode and you can dismiss or snooze directly - without prior unlock ...
Before I found that the windows alarm settings override the manila settings - and you can even choose mp3 files without additional alarm software! The alarm can then also be set via Manila alarm, but the settings in windows alarm count (in latest RTT rom).

From Setting menu press on All settings goto Sound & Notification the Notifications. Drop down to Reminders and check the "Display message on screen............

Thank you very much.
Can't believe it was something so simple.

Little annoyances with WM 6.5

I just updated to Stock 6.5 from Stock 6.1. So far I really like the way it looks, but there seems to be some things missing.
1. I can't find the setting for "x" to close programs, so I am constantly opening task manager to close programs, otherwise they just run in the background.
2. I can't find the setting for "receive new e-mail as it comes in", so I have to manually do "send/receive" to check my hotmail.
3. Cool, there's a slide to unlock screen lock, oh wait, you have to manually set that too. I have it set to Long press end key, but still, I think it should be automatic when the screen shuts off.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

1. Taskmanager is now in Settings as an applet, you can also find the original one that drops down, saw it in the forums, do a search. Can't think where I saw it.
2. When you set up your email account, or even after, go to the following location:
Pocket Outlook > Menu > Tools > Options > pick your hotmail account > tap Send/Receive Schedule and set it to whatever time span you want.
Conversely, are you asking for Pushmail? for that you have to do the following:
Start > Settings > Comm Manager > turn on Direct Push option. From there you may have to configure your direct push based on your own needs/settings.
3. PocketShield is a usable option as are a number of other free locking options, check the forums. There's too many to give you a definitive answer as to which one you'll like.
Good luck.

slide to unlock is a good option as well for a screen lock..

I have a shortcut on my home screen for the task manager, but I would still rather have it like it was with 6.1 where you could choose to have the programs close when you press "x".

Thank you. I found the option for "as they arrive". That was driving me crazy.

AWESOME!! Works how I would've expected it to work in the first place. Thank You!

Have you tried changing the settings in start> settings > system > task manager on the buttons tab? That is where I find that "X" to close screen.

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. You still have to either remember to close it through the programs menu or through the task manager. I'm just glad I'm not the only one having that problem.

Clock
How do I get the clock to show up all the time in the new ROM? This is very frustrating to have to go to the home screen to see the time. Any one know if it's possible?
Thanks in advance.

SK Tools allows you to do this. I think if you open up SK Tools and go to Tune Up! the System Tweaks settings page allows you to change it.

Thanks
Thanks I will try it!

Settings -> All Settings -> Clock & Alarms -> "More" tab -> check "Display the clock on the title bar in all the programs".

Flashing light...
Does anyone know how to extend the time that the little green light blinks after a new text message has arrived, or after a missed call? I found where you's normally change it in sounds and notifications...but the option is grayed out and it's set for 5 minutes. It'd be nice to have it blink a little longer if I miss a message coming in!
Thanks!!

please please help: battery icon disappeared from tilte bar

Dear friends
please help help
the battery icon disappeared from my tilte bar when checked the (display the clock on the tilte bar in all programs) from clock & alarm settings>more
so what I did next was to uncheck this option and restart the device and now the sound icons sometimes comes on and sometimes not but the battery has disappeared. I sill can access the battery settings when I press on the tilte bar where the battery icon supposed to be..
see picture
please help

It's looking that some newly installed program caused it. I suggest HardReset and then installing them one by one go to see what will cause this problem.
If you have a list of programs you installed since the moemnto what was working and then it was bad we can best help!

I foun in this forum a registry tweak wher u can change the value and get the time /date/or both in the title bar (of course after soft reset). I kina like it. now I have the time in the title bar but not the battery.
Well, I wonder if I reverse the registry value to defaults, will this bring the battery icon back?
it happened when I enabled the option of (show the time in all programs in > clock & alarm settings in >more. (but I didn't resatrt the device and then Igo Primo froze for what ever the reason and then I reset the device and it came back with missing battery icon

Yes, absolutely. Except what you already synchronized and / or backup

Is there a way to change the clock on the Always On Display?

Folks,
I tried searching but I probably am not using the proper keywords.
Is there anyway to change the clock on the Always On Display? The Hour is displayed above the Minutes. I would like a more traditional HH:MM all on one line if possible.
Anyway to do this on a Rooted phone?
Thanks in advance!

Settings -> Lock Screen and Security -> Always On Display.
Tap on Digital Clock then Clock Style.
