I actually like the idea of a button to completely shut off the phone. Can you refer me to good software that could accomplish this?

Sorry - I know this is a bit off topic.

sorry, should have said let it go into standby. it happens with any charger other than the one that came with my phone. i have tried 3 different chargers (one radio shack, one that came with my bluetooth gps, and one verizon razr charger) all require me to let it goto standby first), i don't really mind letting it goto standby first since it works fine after i bring it out of standby. if it stops doing that, then i will complain. only issue i am having now is that my phone is going through the batteries faster than normal, but that could be due to the severe winter weather causing a reduced signal (today was the first time i had the bad reception due to weather).

Actually there is no way to power off the Apache without draining/pulling the battery. A short press of the power button puts the phone in standby. A long press of the power button turns the backlight completely off. The numerous applications that offer a "power off" function will either suspend the device or soft reset it, depending on the app. There is no way for a software program or button to completely shut off the Apache. The only way you can do that is to disconnect the battery.

Note that is not true with some newer HTC devices (such as the Wizard, Titan/Mogul, etc.) which have changed the functionality of the power button such that a long press will actually turn the device (including the phone) completely off.

Actually, I never let the customizations run with any ROM i put on my phone. What was odd is that ever since I've been using an actual mini sd (not the micro sd with the mini sd adapter), my phone has been stable.

Before my old card lost all of my information, it would always tell me that my card was removed, even if it was still in the phone.

ok i final got the buildos runnin

i update the rom
now im gettin acouple of errors

the sprint tv doesnt work

i think htc x isnt workin properly cuz when i press it it shows for like half a second and disappears
and when in a program or settings .... the top tool bar freezes and i cant hit OK or the Start bar

oh and internet sharing ..... it connects but the arrows stay gray

any one else had these problems?

Has anyone had a problem with the missed call notifications?

My wife's phone will not show that a call was missed on the today screen or that there is a vm message.

Mine works fine and they are both flashed identically?????

Thanks

does anyone know if anything bad will happen if i use a 240x320 png image for my main splash?

a notification box comes up saying the image must be 320x320 but i can continue on like its okay.. ??? thanks

well, yes, I know what will happen :-)

You will be fine. You will have a stripe in landscape mode where the missing pixels would be.

ahh okay, thanks ggu, i didnt realize that actually flips when in landscape mode on a reset. ;)

I've been running this ROM for a few weeks. Here are the couple of things that seem quirky:

1) my Weather on the HTC home today plugin just stopped working over Thanksgiving weekend... It says "unable to retrieve data for the selected city" no matter how many times I try and which city I choose. (I am in Vancouver, WA USA)

2) I have my device set to sync with both Gmail (POP) and my work's exchange server every 15 minutes. When I get a new e-mail, it will prompt me that I have new messages and give me the option to VIEW or DISMISS. This is normal. However, in previous ROMs I've had, once I opened the messaging application, the prompts would stop from that point forward (until I got NEW messages beyond those that I was previously notified about). For example, I'll get 3 new email messages, and I'll go over to the messaging application. I decided that I only want to OPEN 2 of the 3, leaving 1 unread. If I then close messaging, it will prompt me that I have new messages every 15 minutes even though nothing "new" has come in beyond that one remaining unread.

This one is kind of bothersome, because it keeps telling me I have NEW unread when it's just the same unread that I don't have time to deal with and don't want to open 'on the road'.

3) I run tom tom 6 on my PPC. In prior ROMS, I would be able to hit the "okay" button to minimize tom-tom and leave it running in the background. While tom tom was minimized, I was able to close other running programs, and do other funtions. However, now, if I minimize tom tom, and try to use that task manager in the upper right corner it will maximize tom tom. (makes it kind of hard when I forget to close programs and I want to increase system performance without having to re-start my navigation). I can however go into settings, memory, running programs to close things. But that's why we have an add-on task manager in the first place!)
