[stroths]

Is there a reg tweak or setting to allow you to use wi-fi and the phone at the same time?

You can change the key ShowIcon to 1 and you will then have the battery icon in the bottom tray. I am still working to track down the other 3 icons. The HTC plugin is such a huge waste of screen space.

Paul,

Can you drop a screen shot in here of what the new screen looks like with the battery meter on the bottom?

Thanks

This didn't work for me.

I can set the registry value, but there is no visible change when I return to my home screen.

When I do a soft reset, the registry value is back to 0.

Maybe something I'm using on the Today screen is messing with it? Is there something else I have to do?

I'm using two things that change the Today screen from the default:
*HTC Touch Home Plugin.
*Threaded SMS

Wait a bit before you soft reset so that it writes the changes to the registry. I usually wait a few minutes but I don't believe you HAVE to wait that long.

That worked. I guess I was just too impatient: that was the main thing I wanted from those four icons and I'm happy to get rid of them. Thank you!

I included a screenshot of my Today screen which shows the battery icon in the bottom right corner since PerfectHybrid had asked for one. (I had to attached it inside a .zip folder because I am not yet allowed to post urls which is the method of posting images on this forum).


EDIT: I have taken the attachment down as stroths has posted the screenshot below.

Here is the pic draghn attached. I tried this and had it working, but disabled it as I did not want to use up all that space for a single icon. I would like to figure out how to get it in the top bar with the signal and EVDO icons.

I am sorry to ask, however I am new at Windows Mobile devices. I have had many Palm devices in the past and have seen the WM light. How does one obtain the skin pack seen in the quote? Thank you in advance!

Hit the search bar and try "HTC Home" or google it. I used it for awhile it is a great program, but I got addicted to SPB Mobile shell 2 and all of their products.
