clock on the top most pane.

[priyal]

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum, and thanks to you guys, i managed to unlock my O2 XDA11i . But, I haven't got the clock on the top most pane of my display.(next to the sihnal strength indicater) Can somebody help me to get it activated?
Also, I would like to install O2 Plus on my Alpine. Where can I find it?

Thanks
Priyal

Can I just bump this thread and also ask - how is it done? Driving me nuts, I've never had it on my 2i. :/

Sorry for reading down a few pages and bumping old threads (again!) but I noticed this thread with no answer that I may be able to shed some light on!

From personal experience, the O2 Active stuff that installs with the 2i installs it's own clock on the Today screen, and completely disables the clock on the top bar.

Having originally owned a 2020i and then getting an XDAIIi forced on me by my insurance company when I broke the 2020i, I hated not having the clock on the top (aswell as having the useless O2 logo get in the way!), and managed to forcibly uninstall the O2 stuff manually. After a soft reset, the clock reappeared on the top bar and all was well in the world again!

If you have still got the O2 stuff installed on your 2i, AFAIK, no amount of playing in the settings will get the clock back in the top bar without uninstalling O2's crap!

If this is the case, I would be happy to put the procedure for manually removing the O2 software down in black and white! I'm not sure if it is actually on this forum - I haven't found anything other than preventing it installing in the first place!

Indeed - I found that when I did a hard reset of my phone and didn't install the O2 Active software (the 0506 corp install method) the clock appears and stays there on the top bar.


I also posted in another post about the reghack that you can perform to bring the clock back, and did some experimentation with registry values to see what different combinations would elicit (showing clock as digital / analogue, showing the date, showing both, different alignment and formatting etc)... You can find the post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=188032#188032 (it's in the thread called "XDA IIi Missing clock at the top right" in the Alpine forum, if the link doesn't work).
