As I have said I am new to windows mobile, I have just bought the HTC Radar and I must say that I really like this phone it is so smooth and the colours are very vivid anyway there are a few things that I am having problems with so would be so grateful for any help, firstly the sms notification tones are so quiet I have chosen a sound and pushed the volume up key and it says 30/30 but the sound when I receive a text message is quiet I will never hear it when I am out or if its ever in my handbag, another question I have put on the facebook app from the market place it has synced some events but it has not synced any birthdays in my calender how do I get the birthdays to show? the last question is where can I change the syncing times for facebokm twiltter ect in most phones you can choose all apps sync times from every 30 minutes to manually, I can't find this option anywhere, thank you for taking the time to read this.... :confused:

firstly the sms notification tones are so quiet I have chosen a sound and pushed the volume up key and it says 30/30 but the sound when I receive a text message is quiet I will never hear it when I am out or if its ever in my handbag

There is no separate volume for sms tones and no custom sms tones at the moment.

another question I have put on the facebook app from the market place it has synced some events but it has not synced any birthdays in my calender how do I get the birthdays to show?

The birthday calendar syncs via windows live to the calendar on the radar. Once you've set up your facebook account in settings go to calendar --> settings and make sure the Birthday calendar is toggled on. Select a color of your choice and it will alert you 1 day before someone's birthday and show up on the calendar tile.

the last question is where can I change the syncing times for facebokm twiltter ect in most phones you can choose all apps sync times from every 30 minutes to manually, I can't find this option anywhere, thank you for taking the time to read this.... :confused:

I believe by design it updates every 30 mins. If you're worried about battery turn on battery saver mode in settings and it would then check manually.
[HTC Radar] tanzi:
Thanks for your help and advice, I have checked my calender and the facebook calender is toggled on but I have just checked all through it and there are none of my friends birthdays in there at all....

Setup's in my signature; best battery life I've seen on an Android phone. Easily gets me through the day and then some with moderate use.

I would post battery stats (since it's easy to do screenies now) but I just took it off the charger after messing with NS Tools and it wouldn't be a good representation of my battery life.

So I think this is a valid question, how many pairs of head phones have you gone through? I swear I've gone through like 14 or so, probably 6 of them are them damn apple headphones.

So how many have you gone through?

I have a pair Of Senn HD595 just sitting in my drawer gathering dust too. A bit of a waste really.

* Another of life's ironies. (Or punishments). I sold the Grado's when i desperately needed cash for food. Took the money to pay into the Bank and crashed my car on the way. Car was a write off. Ended up worse off, (no headphones and no money), and had to run to and from work, six miles a day, for two years.

0 because I'm not a child?

How do people "break" headphones? Honestly are you swinging them around the house knocking things off shelves or something? I use them...I put them down. I have a set at work that I take out of my desk in the morning and use throughout the day, then place back in my desk at night. They're still in perfect condition. I have a set at home I pick up and put on (when I use them), then put back down. I have a set that resides in my car that I carry around all over the place, and I have 2 sets in my laptop bookbag that go anywhere my laptop does.

All of them are in flawless condition. I've never broken a pair of headphones before, and I don't really understand how people do.

Oh your cool, hey do you know where you are? XDA, this isn't somewhere where you insult people. I am 14 and am also very rough with my headphones, I'll admit it. And so are many other people, that's why I made this thread, its not about why/how you broke them, its just about how many have you broke, because it's a very common thing. The fact you haven't broken any, is quite impressive, and is a huge accomplishment, but don't go insulting/bragging about it in my thread, because what you said, and how you said it, is how firefights start on XDA, and I won't have that in my thread.

[Off-topic] Dirk:
The reason i have never had a broken pair is that mine are high end, but it may not be what you think it is. They probably do have a better build quality, but it's because of the expense that they last.. because you look after them better! I've worked hard to afford the luxury, and i can't afford to replace them, so i make damn sure they don't get damaged.

If i bought cheap headphones i wouldn't be so cautious. They'd be thrown about, chewed up, sat-on, left on the bus..

If you don't believe me go spend £650 on a pair yourselves and see how often you break or lose them then. :p
