24 hour clock and uk style date and splash screen

[monz87]

Hi, i have just upgraded to Windows Mobile 6 the black 2.5 edition.

Whilst I was doing it i had my memory card left out which had applications on it, now when I put it back, the applications are not there..? I copied all data from active sync > explore (except my windows mobile device) and then I copied it back after upgrade. I am not fussed that the programs are gone, it would be good to get them back though, and since the card was not inserted during the upgrade, the application files must still be on the card somewhere taking up space...?

Anyways, I can't seem to get the 24 hour clock on it and also can't change the date to the UK style e.g. 24/04/2007, it is stuck in american style e.g. 04/24/2007. Any answers...?

Is Windows Mobile 5 applications supported by Windows Mobile 6? Can I have links to Windows Mobile 6 downloads please

Also , I do not like the boot screen, I want to put a picture of my wife and son, how do I do that? Sorry I am an intermediate user.

Please read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes

before you get abused.....

Couple of pointers though, you might want to check your country is actually set to UK, rather than the default US.

When you install Black you wipe out the entire OS, the application files will be on the card, but the shortcuts in the OS that you find in the menu's and the programs directory will not. Search the card to see if there is actually anything on it at all.

You cant actually copy installed Apps with ActiveSync, it doesnt work that way, you can use it to re-install apps.

Most WM5 apps will work with WM6, but some will not and some will have odd behaviour because the programming interface isdiffeent to WM5.

But please, read the Wiki

Sorry, unable to help with the card issue.

But, the 24 hr clock & date is in settings, regional settings & set to english (uk).

The splash screen is explained in Mr Vanx upgrade guide, where it is explained re first & second screens.

Hope this helps & sorry if you have already completed or read the guides

Or, leave settings on US and choose (in Settings, System, Regional Settings):
Time: HH:mm:ss and you're on 24hr clock,
Date: dd-MMM-yy and you're on European date.
And if someone flames you for asking, screw that :-)

Thanks very much. The ony things I need to do now is fix the wifi, it doesn't turn on..?

Also, the start bar sometimes hides....

and about the applications on the card. they are still there under "program files" and can be opened but some of them - registration fails. The shortcuts are not in the menu though...

Also how can I add a running programs shortcut on the bottom like I had on WM5..I can't seem to do it....

Sorry for sounding so dumb...

Hmmm, there is a known issue with wifi settings getting wiped out, there are a couple of threads about it in Hermes upgrading, Olipro and pof are working on a fix that they say should be out in a few days.

Dont know about the start bar hiding, havent seen that myself, as for the apps, I would say maybe install them again to the same location to put all your shortcuts back, technically you will just be putting the same files on the storage card and any settings that went on the card should still be there.

I cant find a way to add running programs either, go into settings/memory/running programs or use the taskman program. If anyone else has seen a way to add running programs to the softkey setup I would be quite grateful too.

Its not about sounding dumb, you dont - you're just lacking the necessary info, its just if you ask questions that have been answered elsewhere people figure you are just being lazy or ignorant especially if they are the same kinds of questions that people keep on asking that can be answered by doing an advanced search and selecting show posts instead of show threads.

Just keep at it, you will get there in the end.

Thanks. I upgraded my radio rom to 1.41 and my network mucked up...I couldnt even get a signal. Then I went to 1.40 and now my wifi is working and and i get a network. not sure if its as clear as before though...

Thats odd because the wifi and radio dont actually have anything to do with each other, radio rom controls GPRS/3G stuff. Oh well, go with it.....

Really..? That could be why my web pages weren't opening. I've just been on the phone to T-Mobile as it goes and they say that their 3G is down. I'm able to connect to GPRS but loading the web pages it just says opening and nothing opens. They said it should be OK in a few hours...oh well.

You got through to a human at T-Mob before the problem was fixed......?
Now that is unusual.
