I have searched the forum and was unable to find any posts regarding this so I figured I'd ask the question. If this has been discussed elsewhere, I apologize for the double post.
Last night I noticed a new icon appear in the start bar across the top of my screen. I didn't feel like messing with it as I was half-asleep, so I decided to deal with it later. In the morning, I took a look at my phone and realized it appeared to be a satellite dish. There was also the "notification" button at the bottom of the screen. After repeated selections, the notification would not go away, so I decided to ignore it. A few minutes later I thought that maybe the new icon had something to do with the reports that Verizon is preparing to release an official upgrade including unlocking the GPS. A few months ago, I flashed my phone with one of DCD's ROMs, so my GPS, while slow to lock, is functional. I decided to open Google maps and try to get a fix with out priming the GPS. Much to my surprise, I got a fix in about 20 seconds! That's the fastest I have ever gotten a fix.
About an hour later, while on my way to work, I tried getting another fix and had one within about 5 seconds. After this success, I decided to try to get my calendar button back, so I did a soft reset. I did get the calendar, but the new icon was now gone. I tried again for a fix once I was at work, and again, about 5 to 10 seconds. I have still been able to get fixes in record time all day, but the phantom icon has not reappeared.
Below is a picture I took of the screen this morning as from browsing this forum for a while, I know its one think to tell a story, but another to have proof. If anyone knows what the icon was for, why it appeared, what it may have done, or why its hasn't come back, I'd love an answer. Thanks.

did you install quickgps lately? where from?
that icon is included by HTC in diamond roms. i noticed it but havent looked at what its for yet.
its not included in WM/by MS
Looks like you have "QuickGPS" installed and that's a reminder Icon.
Connect to Internet, tap icon to bring up QuickGPS then download the latest satellite orbital data to speed up acquisition and fix. The data is valid for 2 days 22 hours on my PDA.
egreen,
What interface are you running there? That looks kinda like the HTC Touch interface, but it's not.
Just curious....

I installed QuickGPS probably a month or two ago, but rarely use it (I use the HTC GPS tool most often). I probably got it from either here or PPCGeeks. They are the two forums I most frequently check for anything concerning my phone.
Thanks for the responses. Maybe the speed of the GPS fixes was coincidental... either way, I hope it stays this way.

I loaded HTC home on there and then the HTC Home Customizer. I changed the clock and icons. You should be able to find them here:

Yeah, thats the QuickGPS reminder icon but its odd; I get 6 days 23 hours when I d/l the info... Wonder why you only get 2+ days.
No idea why and I only find basic download options. Version is 1.00 (build 327.716).
Is (where is) there a later version or might there be a registry entry to amend?
I have version 1 as well but the build is 615.715. I wish I could tell you where I got it but I don't remember where I d/l it. I'm sure it was either here or PPCGeeks....

Good afternoon.
I am looking for a today plug-in that would just give me counters for missed calls - sms/mms - and email only (kind of what HTC home does without the big clock). I only want that - I have found a clock that I really like. Does anyone know if there is such a plug-in or a way to modify something that exists to accomplish my needs? I have searched and not found anything like this...I am anal about my today screen and want it just the way I want it - so I am throwing it out there to see if anyone has what I am looking for...
Thanks in advance for any help (as usual)!!

this program is "not free." but you should PM me for a trial that never expires...
EDIT:
I have the email counter turned off, but it's easy to turn back on.
shame on you for a "trial that never expires".
I've been a long time beta tester for SPB Softwarehouse and have beta tested every program that's available. There are several programs by SPB that can do this, but as stated, PhoneSuite is probably the easiest and best for what you are looking for.
Uhhhh....

The ext battery status will do this as well... the one with the clock... and you can easily turn the clock off to just show the messaging, voicemail, sms counter.... u can even turn off the battery meter part of it. Best part is that it is a free app that uses verry little ram.

This seems to be the best solution - one question though for the programming/registry experts in here - I have the ion clock installed and I don't want the scrollbar to occupy the WHOLE today screen! Is there a way of editing the registry, or something like that, that will allow me to have the scroll bar only halfway up or even lower than that?
Thanks in advance
New ROM out at last, lets hope the battery issue is fixed:

I was thinking the same thing when I saw those Icons...
mates, we are stealing from M$ & HTC unless we create Door Mobile 6.1
Flashing right now, will report tomorrow about the battery.
That's most likely temporary, will jump on the first WM 6.5 Rom that comes in WWE.
I feel like back in the days when WM 6.0 came out for the prophet. The biggest wave of roms is yet to come

Hummm... KUDOS for your comment. That's the spirit

First Impressions so far (6 hours usage):
- Battery seems fixed, one day of normal work yet to come ... but only 5% lost during 2 hours while going out an showing around.
Thanks PhamQuang ! This was my biggest relief this week!
- boots f***ing fast
- (old) Google Maps integrated. Don't get it, new version available for at least a month, Latitude available for 2-3 days
- Manila behaves really good. Never use it, but before customization i usually scroll a bit around and this time i really considered keeping it.
Besides: The ugly WAP-Symbol for Internet disappeared at last.
- Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G working as usual. V14 had an error where "Add new device" in BT sometimes was second in the list (ok, no real bug)
- colored icons are nice, i think the connection-strength-symbols for 3G, GPRS and EDGE are a bit out of place.
Bugs so far:
- Opera Browser spoofs User Agent now, so you cannot download new google maps. Tried to disable "spoof user agent" in opera:config, but no success so far
- In Opera: If you press Sym on the keyboard once the screen "flickers" somehow and the text-selector disappears. Pressed twice the menu shows up, but you have nothing selected so it gets inserted nowhere...
I will try to reinstall opera by cab
- SIP: sometimes even if you have disabled automatic word suggestions it comes up nevertheless
Nothing else so far, tested mails, AS, some games, installed Resco, MortPlayer, ... beautiful ROM so far, even though i'd like a more cleaner rom (no PSShutdown, Google Maps, Icons, ...).
Thanks a trillion, using your roms since Prophet.
Anyone try videocall in this ROM?
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
I try it, works well video call.
Very Fast ROM

No, its ok.
UC does not seem to be working on this rom!
Is there a kitchen available for this ROM?
Im liking this rom, as expected, but it would be even better without the slide to answer thinge.
Does anyone know if it is possible to get the "normal" answer pad back?
I have done some searches but i am unable to find a cab or "fix" for it.

A really good rom, as just all PDAviet roms!
IMHO only the slide2answer is not optimal.
Fast, stable and my battery is ok.
this is the real cab file which is NOT the install client cab. please check the attached.
I installed the cab ran the exe from the start menu bit nothing. did not work. all I saw was a quick flicker of the program name on the top bar. then it went away.
It's working on my Diamond , but the screen is off .
I have hard time to Call people , maybe because of my accent.
Saying " Weather on Montreal" is bringing BING page with Motreal weather.
I'll give more testing connected through my USB and I'll let you know.
Thanks for the cab !
thnax for the cab i'll try and provide feedback....
not working on my old BA so sad..
installed succesfully, but couldnt start the application.
I've tried both cabs posted here
Both install fine, but no results. Either says thinking constantly, or "didn't catch that"
Not working on i900 Omnia (with WinMo 6.5.1 23064 Rom)

This works great with my Imagio. Thanks
It works pretty good on my HTC TP. Thanks I have wanted this for texting while driving for a very long time. You may have saved my life.
Thanks for posting!
I have a verizon TP and I am running it from storage card without issue. Thanks!
I have it running almost perfect on my Touch Pro 2 except for the touch screen doesn't work except for the bottom 2 buttons. I can use the app but to send a text message you have to hit the edit button on the bottom and then it will put up the send button on the bottom also instead of the middle of the screen. Seems like a pretty good app.

make sure you've got voice command installed/cooked into your rom.
voice command stopped working after uninstall!
Word of warning to all: Tellme was too much for my elfin so I uninstalled. Voice command stopped working after that...Had to reinstall MSVC.
SOHkis has the winning combination.
Im running nrgy 21864 rom on the t-pro, played with all the tellme cabs and clients nothing has worked, untill putting msvoice command back on and VIOLA... Flawless!
To touch joy either on stock CDMA Touch Pro from US Cellular.
Ok. I have it working on my Fuze using Tael's cooked 6.5.1 rom and on my Tilt 2 using OEM rom. Here is the trick. You have to have VERY good coverage for this work. The reason it works with WiFi and AS is that the internet connection is very fast and when it everytime it listens, it uploads the recording to the server to process. Also, if you do not have good 3g Coverage, you will get "thinking..." etc. If you have wifi service and no network coverage, you will get the "cannot connect to mobile network".
Moral of the story is that you need fast bw for it to recognize it and network coverage for it to actually send the text. I hope this helps!

Hi,
I tried searching, but it's such an odd question that it is hard to find a word combo that results in efficient, but relevant search results lol
What I'm looking to do: use the Galaxy S "Fascinate" as a PMP/DAP and not activate it as a phone at all, basically just a Galaxy S Player. I specifically decided on this since it uses the Wolfson DAC and fit my budget!
The problem: the person I purchased the phone from had (understandably) wiped it clean before sending it. When powered on it goes right to the "Press 'Send' to activate your phone" which only allows me access to "EMERGENCY CALL" / "SEND" options.
The question: How can I boot the phone into Airplane Mode, or bypass the Activation screen (either permanently or temporarily so I can then turn on Airplane), so I can then use it as a PMP?
If you need any info, please ask, I'll provide all I can with what I have! I do have a USB cable for it at least! If that'll help any...
I got a Fascinate 2 weeks ago for the same purpose (works great, I might add). When I got it it booted into safe mode the first time (no clue on that, it was new to me). I put my google credentials in then. The next time (I think) it came up with the emergency call thing. What I can't remember is if it said anything about activating. I just went through, set things up, played for a day, then rooted & rommed it.
Where Verizon doesn't do sim's I think you will be safe to keep going after the activation screen. It will spin it's wheels for 30 seconds then keep going. It won't be on their network since you didn't call Verizon, so oh well. I keep it in airplane mode with wifi toggled on & no shortcuts to the dialer anywere.
I am using Skankwhich's CM9 rom. Using Titanium I have frozen a bunch of stuff with no ill effects, including: setup wizard, talk, voice search, various live wallpapers, apollo, com.android.smspush, email, exchange services, sms/mms pref...(it goes off the screen), pico tts, rom manager, sound recorder, voice dialer, vpn dialogs. There is more that can be frozen. I haven't finished messing with it.
Do not freeze [voicemail] phone, or sms/mms/apn phone/messaging storage, or contacts. You might not need them but bad stuff happens.
Good luck & enjpy!

I'll definitely have to go ahead and give that a go. I figured it was actually calling the network heh
EDIT: Well it had started calling after I got signal, so I canceled it quick lol But then I remembered you had powered off and back on (first I found out holding power brings up an option menu which included Airplane Mode), so I did that. Powered back on and HORRAH! It booted right into the main Android screen ^_^
Thanks again, no telling how long I would've sat on that screen lol
No problem. Have a fascinating time!

A couple of hours ago, I noticed that my time on my status bar was not accurate. It is 2 hours and 4 minutes off. Upon further looking, I discovered my three widgets on my home screen were inaccurate with the wrong date, also. The date is showing Monday, March 11 on all three widgets (calendar, weather, and calorie counter widgets).
I have uninstalled the update (did nothing to help). I uninstalled the calorie widget (did not help, although if I don't use the widget, but just the app icon, it (app) works correctly). I also dirty flashed the rom (us99820g). That has not helped, either. Also my calendar app is stuck on Monday, March 11.
Any suggestions?
Thx.
DISREGARD: FIXED IT. DATE AND TIME IN SETTINGS WERE NOT SET PROPERLY?

Wow, how did that happen? Normally your date and time are taken from your carrier signal.
That being said, I have Clock Sync app which synchronizes my phone to atomic clock NTP servers daily.
These screenshots below are from the Google Play store. I only set mine for once a day. "Every hour" would be overkill. I don't set "strict" intervals either. I do have set on boot, because that's also a good time to do it.

Used to need root, but I there's a non root option also.
Here's an article about the app:
https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...omic-time-for-perfectly-synced-clock-0170500/
But you can figure it out for yourself, I'm sure.
Thx, ChazzMatt. Before I found out the answer to fix it, I had googled (no luck), rebooted several times, re-downloaded and dirty flashed us99820g (no luck), deleted a mod that I had just updated (no luck), deleted a Magisk module, resynced apps, etc. No luck on any of it. That's when I posted for help.
I remembered a few days ago, that I had physically changed the settings in the date and time. When I checked it again, I guess (I did) turn off the "automatic" switch in the time zone (I had been experimenting with different roms, etc.), even though it was set to the correct time zone. Flipping the "automatic" switch on, fixed everything. I don't know why it changed, except that I updated a mod and messed with a Magisk module a couple of hours before I noticed the change.
So, put it down to operator error. Normally is on my mess you'd. ?.
Thx, again for all your help on here.
