I have bought CityTime Alarms and it works fine. I only use now Fizz Traveller for the weather updates, and the phone doesn't freeze any more. Still, I have problems with Fizz Traveller as sometimes it fails to update the weather. I've let the guys at Fizz know about it and I hope they'll solve the problem soon.

Look here for the file and here for instructions.

Were you using Fizz Traveller 2.2 for the alarm? If so, did you leave the keypad locked in the evening?
This happens to me if I leave the keypad locked: when Fizz Traveller alarm runs in the morning, the phone locks (not even the backlight on when pressing the keys) and it doesn't ring.
If it is the same situation, it may be (as I suspect) a bug in Fizz Traveller, and we should let Nicky know about it.

Strange, I had also a 256MB card I have used in my C500 and now I use it in my new C600. It works and I have applications installed on it, with the only exception that I cannot format it on the C600 using SP Task Manager (this was working on the C500).

That screenshot doesn't look like my theme. Maybe you didn't restart after installing the theme...

You can use the Fizz Traveller plug-in. Check the link in the first post. As far as I know, the guys at Smartphinger stopped supporting the plugin long time ago, therefore I cannot advise you on how to obtain it.

The developers' site seems to have problems. Try to e-mail them and ask for the unlock application for your IMEI. You can find the details on their web page (after you get the "IMEI not found" message.

Select "Apple SmartMonitor" from Settings -> Home Screen.

I've used it on both Fizz Traveller and Smart Monitor plug-ins, and the battery life was fine. Maybe you have installed something else at the same time?

No idea about the thermometer thing - the code looks fine to me.
About the gray shade - I've asked Nicky at Fizz Software about this and they will work on it, but at the moment the plugin is not able to set the background to something else.

Hmmm... how's that? You recommend something and you don't even know if it works?

Scroll up when reading the message.

Like the one on this page?

You can do it, but I suggest to put the SmartMonitor on top, as the Fizz Traveller weather plug-in does not allow to remove the line. You've noticed probably that I've "designed" the screen in such a way to mask that line by superimposing it on the "window border". If you want to maintain this, you'll have to put the SmartMonitor code in place of the calendar code, then change the height of the SM plug-in to match that of the calendar (from 37 to 46). You can play after this with the "y" values to bring them to a position that you like (probably you'd have to add 9 to each "y" value of each of the elements in the SM plug-in.

Another thing is to change the background picture to the one attached to this post.


I hope I was clear enough... please ask if I can help any further.

@Sheepeh:
Just to let you know that mine arrived. I hope yours too

My problem is that I buy an expensive phone also for the look & feel, and putting a permanent case on it kinda spoils the pleasure of using it. I'm especially put off by the zipper.

About the Krusell case for C500 - would you see the dust anyway through that plastic cover?

I'm just thinking that there are two inconveniences that I have to choose from: having dust under the screen and having the look&feel of the phone spoiled by the leather case. I guess I'd stick with the dust.

My other phone was sitting there since 22.03.2005 as well, but only packed, not shipped

I've talked to someone there and they told me they had a problem with the shipping company, hence the delay. Send them an e-mail to mail_in(at)htceurope.com or call +44 (0) 8712230217 and ask about the status. If they don't answer, you can leave a message, or keep calling until they answer . It is likely that your phone will arrive tomorrow, as mine will (I hope!!!).

It is in a transcendental 3rd generation, suffering from the "hairy screen syndrome" )

Thanks!

Do you know if there's any place where I can find that kind of rubber-sponge seal they have put around the screen originally? I suppose it should be available for DIY things.

So, basically every phone is a 3rd generation one until proven otherwise

And... I guess that any guy on this forum working at the same place as your girlfriend should avoid getting within 3 miles from you for a year


I think your remarks are interesting! I do have an electricity problem at work, as my shoes and the carpet seem to be a charge generator. I allways get electric shocks when touching metal cabinets

Very nice guide and clean and coherent instructions!

I have thought about this solution at some point, but I was put off by the fact that the screen would remain stuck there because of the adhesive tape. You say, however, that you can take it off relatively easily. My question is: why did you take it off at all if there was no dust?

Ay, that one

There was a note of sarcasm in the "3rd generation" bit. Anyway, how can you tell? What visible difference is there?

I've suggested that a while ago

Anyway, as an update: my "3rd generation" replacement from Orange started to get dust on the screen :twisted:
