Two Time Entries on Today Screen.

Not sure if this is the right forum to post this, forgive me if it isn't.
How do you hide the top time and date from my today screen? I would like HTC's clock to be the only one on the screen.

"lightbox_next": "Next",

Dude seriously??
Start --> Settings --> Today --> Items (tab)
Untick "Date"
seeing as you had a nice screeny i thought i'd reply in a screenshot too because i'm in a screenshot kinda mood untick the highlighted box

but yet you worked out how to flash a rom and change the background of the today screen but you couldnt work out how to remove the date! lol

That doesnt remove the time. Un-checking the date removes the date

C'mon guys...you all are incorrect.
The way to do this is as follows (sorry I dont have time for screen shots)
1) Goto Settings>>Advanced Config
2) Select 'Appearance' tab
3) Select the appropriate drop down from 'Shoe on title bar' label. I selected 'battery'...
After a soft reset, you will get want you want...

whew, it was starting to feel like howardforums there with all the misinformation and bad advice.

Guys! Stop bickering!
To remove the time from the very top bar of the Today screen, lookin the WIKI for registry edits (here's the page):
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
and look for a section called "Show Time,Date,both or Battery on top bar at Today screen". This is the same edit that the Advanced Config mohitb272 mentioned, but this is the manual version if you haven't got theprogram installed.
To hide the date in the today plug-in (the one next to the clock under Start in your screenshot), follow GilesThaAlmighty's instructions earlier.
Sorted!

what rom are you using? I have AT&T but mine never says 3G AT&T. I have the 3G sim card. I am referring to the screenshot from the first post how it says 3G AT&T. Is it because you have the PDA plan or something. I have the Media Net unlimited plan whatever that is. It allows me to access the internet and stuff.

change this in your registry:
[HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting]
"LongNamePrefix" to 3G

You need to have 3G coverage in your area to display 3G. Check at&t coverage map to see if you can get 3G coverage.

Pretty sure he's referring to the carrier name in HTC Home. Without the reg change it'll say UMTS AT&T.

Thanks for the replies. Oddly enough I don't have the Advanced Configuration option under settings. I know I turned it on manually but after spending an hour going through all the options in my settings I could not find how I did it.

[Q] International HTC One X on AT&T US 3G problems

I'm running ARHD 5.1.0 on my international unlocked HTC One X.
I'm having a problem with my phone on AT&T. It is switching between H and 3G pretty often, and only H actually functions for data. This is pretty painful, especially when trying to stream Pandora.
I'm looking for help on how to analyse what is happening.
1. How can I see what band it is trying to use on 3G?
2. Is there a way to force it to always use H or EDGE, never 3G?
3. Is there a way to tune the 3G radio for AT&T USA?
4. Is it possible that now that the kernel source is released, the frequency issues can be fixed with kernel drivers?
According to Omega.net, here are the frequencies in my area:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Thanks!

Quick additional questions:
Is AT&T screwing with my signal? Would it make sense to modify the /system/build.prop to masquerade as a different phone?
Would modifying the /system/build.prop allow me to disable all but UTMS-II and UTMS-V?
ro.ril.imc.band=900,1800,1900,850
ro.ril.imc.uband="UMTS_BAND_I","UMTS_BAND_II","UMTS_BAND_V","UMTS_BAND_VIII"

I'm going to try disabling fast dormancy and see how that goes ala this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111581

So far this change has had no effect. I still can't run speedtest.net for example, because it drops from H to 3G, then renegatiates to H again.
All I did was change the build.prop and reboot. Any idea if I have to do something more?

What APN are you using? the default one?
Mine changes to 3G, but only when not using data.......I've had this with every phone besides the Galaxy Nexus which stayed on H most of the time.
But I haven't tried streaming music, as I dont haha...I have it all on my phone.
Try using the Phone APN.
Create a new apn and type in phone for "Name" and phone for "APN" leave the rest blank and save, then click it to enable

You are the MAN! The APN was set to wap.cingular. Using phone as the APN I'm finally getting some Speedtest.net results! I'm going to do more tests, but this looks good so far.

I just tried all of that. When I delete apn and set up new one with just "phone" typed in I get no signal at all?

I made a new APN, in the name field I typed "phone" and in the APN field I typed "phone". Then saved, and selected it as the APN I wanted to use.

I did just that but it doesnt give me the option to select it after its saved....

I just received my one x from Singapore today and am not having any data issues. I picked the at&t network when I put the sim in and it just worked.

I spoke too soon. Speed tests were sort of working for me initially, but is working properly now after just blanking out the proxy and port lines on the default apn that it set up.

I will try this out soon. Thanks mate

Removing the proxy and port seemed to get the same results as the phone APN.

Thanks for this, it solved my issue for my HOX too.

International Roaming with the G3

There is a pretty big bug with the new G3 that breaks international data roaming. This means your free international data will not work unless you follow the instructions below.
Before you leave the country with your G3, you must add a new APN that you need to use while abroad. If you try to roam with the built-in APN, you will get NO data.
Create a new APN and use the following values:
Code:
Name: Roaming APN (or whatever you want)
APN: epc.tmobile.com (no dash)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.tmobile.com/mms/wapenc
APN Type: default,supl,mms
APN Protocol: IPV4
You can leave everything else empty or with the default values.
When you reach your destination (or before you leave), activate the new APN by making sure the bullet point is selected. To avoid issues, you should also change your Network Mode to "GSM/WCDMA Auto".
When you return, make sure you switch your Network Mode back to "GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto" and activate the built-in "T-Mobile LTE" APN.
If you don't have data while in the US, make sure the epc.tmobile.com APN is not selected while GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto is enabled. This combination will leave you WITHOUT data in the US. Using fast.tmobile.com as the APN and configured as IPV4 only will also leave you without data.

I think it's better to keep this separate and make it a sticky. It's clearer for anyone looking for help on why their international data isn't working.
I hope the mods will agree.

Nice tip, thanks for posting it.
I leave for Canada in a couple of weeks, so this will come in handy. Glad I saw this post. :good:

Actually, it worked for me. Make sure you use ipv4 and not ipv4/ipv6. Copy and paste the MMSC to make sure you put it in right.
THANKS OP!

[Q] CosmicCM-4.4.4 V5.2 data not working with SIM2

Hi everybody
First I'd like to thank all the people that were involved in developing this great ROM.
It's a lot faster than the stock ROM and helped me to get rid of the battery drain bug!!!
Currently there is one major and a few minor issues/questions for me. But I couldn't find any solution or even others who had the same issues.
Maybe I'm just miss something but if not, perhaps this could help to improve the next builds or it could be mentioned in the limitations section...
- with SIM 2 data is not working for me. I have a SIM in each slot, but as soon as I switch the second SIM from 2g to 3g the internet connection is gone. APN is configured correctly. Everything else looks good...
- Is there a way to rename the sim?
- roaming "R" disappears from the first sim if Wifi is enabled
- the keys for entering the pin on the lockscreen are cropped
- in the call history there is no information about the sim that was called
Thanks again and have a nice day
Thomas

- wifi, takes priority....turning off wifi will cause phone to re-connect to data, this will also happen automatically if u move out of a known wifi area.
- keys not cropped in lockscreen, see image above
- only sms/sim history atm
U need to prioritize which sim to use for call/data/mms,
have you selected sim 2 as ur data sim ,see below

If you go into the phone settings, there should be a setting called "identify unsaved numbers". Enable that. Profit.
Works great on mine. It may be country dependant though. Not sure if the setting is available on yours.

can you post a pic of that setting? Seems like I dont have it, or maybe i disabled something with package disabler.

Here you go!

Hmm, I don't see it on mine either. Mine is the ATT variant.

That sucks. Maybe certain carriers disabled it. I'm on Telus in Canada now and it works, and my previous S7 Edge on Rogers also had the feature. It's awesome.

Perhaps it's on certain models? I'm running a dual sim version on Koodo and I don't have it either..

Maybe that's it. Disabled via software on certain models.

I don't have that option. Instead, I have this payed software installed by T-Mobile by default:

I have the Sprint version of payed caller ID installed on my phone.

The "identify unsaved numbers" is hidden but available in all ROMs. It might not work in your country so they disabled it for you. To get the option do the follwoing:
1. Download Nova Launcher and install it.
2. Once installed, run it and add an activity widget by long pressing on the screen.
3. In the list of activities to choose from (they are in groups by applications) scroll down to the Phone app. There are three Phone apps. Choose the one with the most activities (I had 99 activities in it, you might get less or more)
4. Once you click the Phone app, the list of activities will collapse and if you scroll down touwill find the "Identify unsaved numbers". Click on it to save the widget.
5. Click on the widget and enable the option.
6. Remove Nova Launcher to get back to TW.

Edit: Nvm, figured it out. Need to long press, and select Widget. Under the Noiva Launcher group, select activities. Then go from #3.
Thanks for the help!

Cool. Got it enabled, but it is still not working as it should. Thanks to Sprint for making the phone just a bit worse.

it's showing on the UK variant I just picked up from O2. however I think it has the base firmware on it as it lacked all the O2 bloatware.

Thanks for the Nova guide, ATT user here and I also have that paid ID bs on my phone.

Reading up on it a bit more, it sounds like on some carrier versions, using Nova to enable doesn't change anything. Sounds like there is more involved with it. I have it enabled, but don't see any changes. Also, the local search doesn't work as well. Guess I'll use Google Phone in the meantime... At least i can get local search.

It is installed on the UK Samsung unlocked model.
