How to show tray icons

[ludovich]

On my 8525 the tray icons (battery, comm mgr) were displayed by default (with the horz line above), on my Tilt, they're gone, except when connected through activesync. Anyone knows the reg key to get the tray to show up again by default? (couldn't find it anywhere)

Under the System --> Today option on the "Items" tab you should see the HTCHomeplug ... check it and you should have the icons you're looking for I believe.

This is assuming you're running the AT&T ROM. If you're running the HTC ROM I can't recall if it is installed by default, if not you'll have to find the cab for the Homeplug and install it.

Cheers,
Dave

yes, but this is today plugin and it do not supply tray icons.
i am looking for activation tray icons too, but looks like not working? :confused:

Yeah the windows directory is missing the powertray.exe file!!! So to get the power icon in the tray you need unzip the attached file and place it in the \windows folder. If you create a shortcut to this file in\windows\startup, the battery icon will load on startup in the bottomtray. ;)

is the process of activating rotate icon and comm manager the same?

I would assume so... have you looked at the registry? I know from my Hermes to show the comm manager it´s like this..

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000001

But...If you have no joy then let me know I´ll have a look when I´ve finished lunch. ;)

Does any one know if there is a way to show a headset icon in the tray so you can tell if your headset is actively connected? I know I can hit the phone key to see if it's connected but it would be nice to be able to see it on the Today page. Thanks.

What I did is to set the Comm Manager to one of the soft key buttons, with the Configuration Tool. Now I have PocketCM in one, and "Wireless" (Comm. Mngr) in the other one.

I am also looking for how to get the battery and commanager back to the status bar on the bottom

I started a new thread there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336239 as this is more suited as a general Kaiser question. I also researched it a bit more. the powetray.exe provided here seems an old version from WM5 most likely. I am looking for the new WM6 style tray I used to have on my hermes which gives you both new battery look and comm mgr icons.

This will add the icons back plus allow you to add shortcuts to other apps

Can anyone may be help me with HIDING those icons? =) I currently have Card Export installed and running, and it adds its own icon to the tray, but I have no need in that. The problem is, that when I turn tray client off (in card export settings), it switches back to ActiveSync mode and I have manually to start CE to mount my flash card as windows removable drive. Any solution?
(I could not make latest WM5torage work for me)

UPDATED:
Argh, resolved myself =) I just mount the card in CE and quit it. It will release the card till I insert the cable. If I pull it out - card is automatically released. Sweet. =)
