Need a bug fix for 24h clock on some locales. - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Right now i'm using VillianRom 12.0.0, but this problem seems to be in every ROM that i use the locale "Norwegian (bokmål)".
The 24 Hour clock shows just "12.03" instead of "12:03", on both the statusbar watch and the lockscreen watch. (Attached images).
It seems it's not only the "Norwegian" locale that has this problem, but also some Finnish locale?
Anyways, does anyone got a fix for this bug?, some simple setting or something?

Can't be that difficult?

Flashed the Official OTA 2.1 ROM.
The Problem is the same there, so this is a mistake from HTC (again.)
Have contacted the HTC Support (In Norway), and they just said that the new "OS" is full of bugs, and mistakes.
When i asked for when a OTA or a Manual update is rolled out, they simply closed my Ticket...
Anyways, seems this problem is going to exist for a long time..

Hmmm. Is it just the dot instead of the colon that's the issue?
Maybe I can try and find the localisation and fix it...

Yeah, that's the problem.
Would be awesome to fix it, since i see it everyday.

Offtopic, but where did you get that lock screen wallpaper?

I think it's a wallpaper i got from deviantart.com Should be somewhere at "Customation --> Wallpapers --> HD Wallpapers." And then the most popular, or something.
Rainy Day, i belive.

Cleartype tuner

I was trying to find the solution for broken CT settings and came across this software
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/tunecleartype.shtml
Unfortunately, it doesn't work wih XDA2. But idea is right there. I've contacted developer and asked him about future versions.

How do you know it doesn't work?
Have you tried it?
A lot of stuff said to be PPC 2002 will still work.
But I can't even try it, as the link to the download, and even to the author website, seem down for me. (That is the link on THAT page, not the link here in your post!)
OK - I managed to find it elsewhere.
AND, I find that it DOES run on an XDA2. BUT... it doesn't seem to do much.
I'm wondering however, if this is because I already have decent Cleartype.
Can someone using one of the poor forms of CT, like the recent I-mate or T-Mobile versions try the attached file out, and see if it makes any difference.
You copy to phone, then run cab file on phone.
Then, go into Programs, and there will be a new entry "Tune Cleartype"
Run it and it will present two simple choices - "CT enabled/disabled", and type to use as ""Original/Alternative" (this can only be selected if option one is set to enabled of course).
Can someone with a poor version of CT try it, test EACH setting followed by an OK and a re-boot, and see if this does anything at all?
Cheers.
Zip attached.
Hi Shadamehr,
The "Use of ClearType" option doesn't enable ClearType, you still have to enable it in Screen settings.
Sadly, the Original/Alternative option doesn't seem to make any difference at all.
Particularly bad is White on Blue (i.e default scheme start menu, or text where the highlight is over it (i.e. lists).
Good idea though,
Phil
Damn.
Shame.
Cheers Phil.
But, by the way, you know the other thread where you post this message (I think), well there is a post in there by someone to say that the CUSTOMISATION ROM for the i-mate 1.72 upgrade, the special extra ROM... He says it FIXED his Cleartype.
You might want to read it and try it just in case...
Hi Shadamehr,
I'm running the imate 1.72 with the additional "special" extended ROM (1.72.800) from the ...SKU1.EXE file from clubimate.
I'm assuming that's what you meant?

It's confusing, this multiple thread stuff *lol*
If you mean in relation to the ROM add on that allegedly fixes Ceartype in the I-Mate latest build, then 'pass mate' - it wasn't me that posted the thread saying it fixed it, it was someone else - I was merely drawing attention to it, and asking the author to be specific as to EXACTLY which ROM or file fixed Cleartype for him.
Unless you were the poster that mentioned it, but I don't think so.
It's true, cleartype actually does show a good improvement after installing the English extended rom addition from clubimate. Not tremendoes, but at least bearable
There's still the strange coloration in white letters, but the blue shadows in black letters has gone. Cleartype still looks like having been shot at with hail bullets ...
Actually, I think Wiz is correct, it does look "better", just not "good" in the lastest ROM (but I'm not sure if it's main or "special" extended ROM that does it).
Phil
Yep, with this extra external ROM they DO look better, not perfect but better that without extra ROM. That just confirms that problem lies in software algorithm.

2.1 incomplete

Hi guys n gals,
I just received 2.1 OTA. Very nice but I expected Car Home, Friendstream and Live Wallpapers and got nothing...
Ive been searching my butt off but didnt find these apps. Can any one of you help me or point me to the right direction. If that direction by any chance involves .apk files, could you please point me to an explanation on how to use these aswell?
TIA!

Maybe...... they could be an update 3?????

You think so?
They never bothered with the Sprint Hero update..
No they won't make an update 3... They said that they will give us only 2 updates.. So for now those options will be in custom rom
For me this version of 2.1 can't be considered as definitive, there are to much bugs and missing things.
What sounds strange to me is that in the firmware version is set as 2.1-update1 and not as 2.1.
Does it means that we can hope about a 2.1-update2 or a definitive 2.1 version ?
Wait before you call me fool. I don't believe and don't wait for another version or some patches from HTC.
I was juste asking to myself why the firmare is called 2.1-update1 and not simply 2.1
IT just means, that it's based on 2.1-update1 which was a version released by Google shortly after 2.1 I think the main feature of that update was multitouch, which was not in the first 2.1.
So, no, this doesn't say anything about possible future upgrades.
But yeah I agree... There are new bugs... they fixed some old bugs and introduced new ones, including minor annoyances e.g. the download bar in the browser will just hover over some text instead of being properly displayed in the correct row, sometimes graphic glitches when transitioning landscape<->portrait, leap<->shome, desk clock... etc.
I mean, come on. It's not exactly rocket science to fix them, so HTC I expect remedies for the bugs. There's a list of bugs/issues the Sprint Hero has somewhere on the net. Most of it applies to our GSM Heroes... and it's a looong list.

Annoying bugs and more...

Dear XDA´ers,
Just got my hands on a HD2. Very pretty, nicely big. But some irritating flaws... wondering if you gurus could help me here. Please understand that I am a noob and have already searched the forum before. So please be gentle with me .
All versions below are stock ones:
ROM: 1.66.707.1 (76641) WWE (01/12/10) - Origin: I don´t have a clue (probably Asian, because of the keyboard options, but can´t locate the specific region)
RADIO: 2.07.51.22_2
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila version: 2.5.19211619.0
1) Buggy SMS/MMS system. I can receive MMS, but cannot read them. They appear at the initial screen, but when I click over them to go to the "threaded view" it simply disappear... so it is marked forever as "not read" (bold lines). They also appear at the "All messages" option, but again, when I click over them, I get a blank threaded view.
2) Calendar and Appointments: how the heck can I schedule an appointment if I cannot choose the AM/PM option? The respective field is blank... is it possible to reinstall or replace this piece of code only (not the entire ROM) if I want to?
3) How can I get a portuguese T9?
4) How could a $600 gadget doesn´t let you choose a snoozing time interval? Am I stuck to the 5-min original interval? I know there are some programs that let you change it, but I´d like to stick to the Sense interface... know it sounds silly, but I got used to my old mobile where I could change those parameters.
5) Is there any "Tunewiki"-like software for HD2? I used it a lot at my old iTouch and I´d like to keep the lyrics synchronized to the music...
Thank you in advance for any help about the questions above.
First off the Stock ROMs tend to suck ...
1.) Do not and did not have this issue with my TMOUS HD2, not sure why it happened to you ..
2.) Sure it is not a 24 hour clock, mine is ...
3.) No clue ....
4.) G-Alarm is a nice replacement for the stock alarm, the stock one sucks ...
5.) There are a couple of apps like this for the HD2 Search around, I don't have links but I have seen them ....
You may consider looking into a custom ROM ....
Hi watcher64,
Thank you for your reply.
2) If it´s has a 24h clock option, I really couldn´t find where I should change that. But even so, the screen wouldn´t appear like the picture below, don´t you agree? AM/PM is missing here... ("red question marks" are mine )
5) Believe me, I did. None synchronizes the lyrics to the music (I mean phrase-by-phrase while music is playing...), that´s why I came here.
Regards!

2.) Start Menu>Settings>System>Regional Settings>Time, Select HH:mm:ss .
This is also where you set your AM/PM options, maybe it got screwed up ...
5.) Look at this ... http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/lyrics-for-almost-all-songs-in-s2p/

I'd advise installing BsBTweaks (on this forum) as a matter of course anyway, but there is an option to enable this feature in the program.
"Enable dismiss X time in notifications" is the one you need.

Hi watcher64,
2) My working path is different (probably because ROM version), but unfortunately, the AM/PM option is disabled (gray). I *will* consider upgrading the stock ROM. But there will be lots and lots of pages to read before that.
5) Nice try, but still not what I need. Check the S2P thread post #11 (can´t post links here), it doesn´t have autoscroll (like Tunewiki). That´s what I meant for "synchronized lyrics", maybe I was not clear enough, sorry. I´ll keep looking, anyway. Thx.

I´ll give it a try, thx. I would rather stick to Sense interface, but looks like it´s impossible. Too bad HTC did a nice interface mixed to such poor software...
I would suggest, being a portuguese HTC HD2 user, to try out the artemis roms. It has full translation to PTG and includes a portuguese T9. Try it out, i'm using it as of now and have found it quite an improvement over the stock rom.

Hi ei05035,
Actually there's no problem about using Hd2 with english version, but I miss a t9 library to help me out with faster typing during email/sms messages. So I'm wondering if I could keep the english O/S and replace some kinda T9 "language" library, if you know what I mean.
About the Artemis ROM, thanks for the tip, but I'm starting the loooong journey of learning about flashing a ROM and not turn your device into a paperweight. Even longer for a noob like me...
Cheers!

Hey, thanks for the advice, but where do I find this G-Alarm? I'm constantly late otherwise and so I've been using mums $50 nokia as an alarm, always reliable!

Full Screen Incoming Call Contact Picture/ICS

Hello all, just updated my to ATT/ICS last week and thought this feature was to be included in the 4.0? After searching here for a bit I can't find any info. Wondering is there a way to do this with out rooting the phone or running a different launcher. TIA

that feature is available on Google's version of ICS, which is AOSP, but also in AOKP/CM9, I have AoCP from The Collective Team and I have full screen caller id, if you're running stock , well that's AT&T/Samsung's fault for not adding it to their dialer, you can try this app out and see if you like it, I don't think you need root for it or anything else. good luck
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.androminigsm.fscifree&hl=en
Hey thanks roloracer, this is kinda a no brainer Att Ics? Coming from a windows phone and boy that feature looks just great. Every day I'm getting closer to the ROOT of the matter. Thanks again.
Related question, but backwards.
How would you disable this feature?
Looked through all the options I can find in CM9 (h0tw1r3, not the official CM9) and can't find anything about it.
I don't have contact pictures for 75% of my contacts, and the ones I do have are seemingly tiny images that look terrible on the Note full screen.

New Touch user comments and questions.

I just got my Meizu MX4 and find several things which irritate me, was wondering if I can make suggestions for updates somewhere? Here are a few examples:
How do I get temp in C, with Display Language US English?
NearBy took an entire day to finally figure out where I live, although location is turned on and I tried to show it where I am.
Still new, more to follow if this is the place.

As far as I know there is a bug report for this and the developers are working on it. Let's see if the next update fixes the issue.
Thank you for the response Nikwen,
The weather app is automatically the Weather Channel, the only setting possible is location on or off. I had expected it to be there.
I'll keep my eye open for the fix to my other comment and also for additional things to talk about. I'm essentially very satisfied with the user experience and am certain that once apps and scopes begin showing up in numbers Ubuntu will be a viable alternative to the others on the market.
I assume I can continue to bring up problems I find here.
Thanks again
O
Found the next thing, although it's probably known. In camera I can't zoom. The zoom - + show, but nothing happens.
So, I found that I can change the weather app to celsius, but it doesn't work in the weather channel and it's what's used in NearBy with F.
I also found that the Amazon app goes automatically to Amazon.co.uk, but I live in Germany, I want .de, but how?
Next, I browsed Google.com, it sent me to Google.de, what else? I didn't want that, but it's impossible to get to complete English. The Google page is English, but when I touch settings, I land in a German page.
Those are my newest grumps, I'll keep looking.
TY for listening!
O
WiFi hotspot would also be nice, though I understand the OS is new and time will bring new features.

It should be out in September or maybe later this month if we're lucky !
TY antole, that's welcome info. This morning I got an update, since then I get no notifications from gmail. Is that normal or do I need to make a setting? Another thing, Near By has disappeared, so I no longer see F not certain if that's good or bad atm.
I'm just enjoying playing with my new toy and thank all devs for the hard work amnd for putting up with my problems.
O
I haven't even tried the Gmail app sorry
My Gmail account is configured with Dekko
I didn't get any update this morning, was the update for the Gmail app ?
I've been running on OTA-5 for approximately two weeks now and I've had no issue with The Weather Channel displaying temperature in C but I live in France so that seems normal
My NearBy scope hasn't gone anywhere either ;p

The update was for Nexus devices only as the messaging issue they fixed didn't appear on other devices.
Back with more! Sorry to say I was overwelmed by the amount of work needed on OT and didn't want to sound like I was putting it down, so I stopped writing. Most are small, wish I could this or that. I found one today though which I had to ask about.
I tried to upload files to my P today, win7 couldn't do it so I tried Ubuntu desktop, 14.04 which couldn't mount my phone. Uh oh, what now? I can't find a setting anywhere which helps. Any advice would be appreciated.
Oh and the update I assume was somethsomething to get my new phone up to the current version. I must have removed Near By by accident, I have it back now, still in F. Must be the language, custom I live in germany but us us english.
Ty for the help!
O
If you cannot mount your phone, you can always enable ssh and use sftp to transfer files. Usual mounting should work though.
(If it still doesn't, you could try installing ADB on your computer. It might help.)
Thanks for your help Nik,
I figured it out, I needed to get into Developer Mode in order to get USB to work. Now I'm in, but have the next problem. I can only see the Home directories, but I want to download the files in the .local/share but I have no idea how to get there. On my MX4 I've gotten to the folder I want using File Manager, but how do I get there from my PC? Or more specifically, how do I download the files stored there?
O
Yeah, hotspot is here! Haven't had time to test it yet, but I love to watch UT develop.
Still hoping for a tip on getting to my files from a PC. I understand it's a kinda noobish question, but until now I've only fixed problems as they arrise in Ubuntu, haven't had time for it. Now I've started and don't know where to search for help.
And the potshot works great. Saw Cantata Nil, looks interesting, but having a problem finding servers, or do I have to set up my own server?
Thanx
O
Stupid auto correct, I meant hotspot and Nik.
I've finally found AskUbuntu, so I'm working on finding my own answers.
