HTC Home problems/questions

[Radimus]

I have a few problems with the app and I was wondering if there was some remediation for them (including fixing my ignorance)


The automatic profile engages vibration mode during any calendar item, including free events

The weather doesn't auto update on its own, when I open the tab, it is either old or empty and starts to update then.

there is no snap back to the main tab

pressing the mail indicators doesn't take you to the account with new mail, it goes to the last account viewed



I have used HTC Home Customizer, but that mainly does colors and icons. I know it is free, but I'd like MORE from it for my convenience :)

First of all I use the standard/non mod HTC Home from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327646), I also installed HHC from here (http://www.pocketemu.com/news-i20-2.html).

I do not understand your first concern.

I guess with the second, it is a good point not wasting data when it's not needed, you only want to pull down data when required. So I actually like what it does and how it does it.

With the third concern, I put a device lock button and it snaps back to the home screen.

I have two email accounts set up for my device, one is a windows live, and another is a google apps account, basically Gmail via IMAP, so when I click on the mail it brings up the two accounts and let me see which one has the blue with 1 on it, indicating the mail box with new email.
Sorry can't be much help but just sharing what I experienced.

If I have an all day free event... like "Pay Day", it stays in automaic vibrate all day. If I delete the event, is switches to normal. It should only change into meeting/vibrate mode during "busy" events

I haven't found any switch back settings, where did you set that?

I have 4 accounts, 5 including sms/mms, so I have to page back and forth between accts looking for unread email. I suppose I can try to set the account picker as messaging start

I am now not following your 'switch back' function. I put device lock, and when I touch on that it locks the keyboard/screen and puts up the home screen

With events I set my diary and set it as 'free' it didn't interfere with the profile, but may be I have spb phone suite installed.

again I use the standard one and modified it with HHC.

Look at this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394480)! It might your profile that you selected.

I just uncheck that tab in the HTC Home options... Then I don't have to worry about it automatically changing my ringer to vibrate

I thought that I could just settle for HTC home, as it seems pretty light weight... but I need more functionality, so back to PhoneWeaver I go...and iLauncher I suppose
