How is it (much) faster through USB?

If I connect to O2's HSDPA network (which I frequently do) I get around 3-4Mbps and that's the network maximum so not sure where you got the cable is faster idea...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mr.vandalay:
i measured it... when connected to usb my download speed was 500kb/s and when connected to my phones wifi my speed was 40kb/s...

i guess that communication between my laptop and pda is much faster when connected through usb , nothing else.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mad Majk:
Hello there!

Does anyone know how to change the New SMS notification sound for a custom MP3, WAV, WMA one??

Changing the ringer sound is super easy (You just copy the new ringer to the My Ringtones folder and then choose it in the Settings > Sound and Notifications window. But when You choose the New SMS from the menu, the new MP3s, WMAs and WAVs from the My Ringtones folder are not there. They are only available for the Incoming Call setting...

Can anyone help me and tell me how to change the SMS sound for a custom one?

EDIT: Problem solved. You need to copy the sound in WMA or MP3 format into the Windows folder on Your device. Works for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] toth42:
just windows root, c:\windows\ ?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Mad Majk:
Yes. The main Windows folder on Your device. Works perfectly for me.

ok so i have a unlocked G1 and it wont get service with a tmobile or att sim it shows the bars with and X next to em. it shows it has a sim in it cause when it doesnt it shows a sim with an exclamation point.

i just want to know how to make it get service i have the correct apn but no luck someone help please :(
[G1 General] phatmanxxl:
you got the latest radio?
[G1 General] nicthasneak:
i dont think so. but havent messed with the phone such as putting roms on it and things like that
[G1 General] lucky 69:
well check to see if your apn's listing are there that maybe why your not getting any service .if you had tryed a tmoble sim and att sim card .both not worked then sounds like apn issue. plus make sure you have the right apn for your area because there are so many diff ones.
[G1 General] nicthasneak:
i only have the att apn. could that be the problem that i need all the default apns for it to get service?
[G1 General] nicthasneak:
could someone post all the apns in the G1 for me
[G1 General] jashsu:
Whether you have the apn entered or not won't matter in your case. The apn settings are for specifying the internet/data access settings for a provider. If you have the zero bars icon then you are not even connected to the network at all (meaning you aren't even getting voice, let alone data). Try going into Settings>Wireless>Mobile Networks>Network Operators. Maybe you can manually select at&t.
[G1 General] nicthasneak:
im stuck at the activation screen. should i try to reflash the radio then becaue i dont get any bars at all.

i believe there is a rom with a rhodium dialer that supports video and conference calls. or u can just format ur phone or maybe even go into remove programs. it may be listed and just uninstall
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] zelendel:
Not sure what rom you are running but alot of them have advanced config which can revert it to the stock dialer. If not you can download it and shut it off. Just an idea

dialer

I'm using energy 3.0 rom ... if I disable the s2a there is the standard windows mobile dialer that not has videocall function ... there is no cab to activate videocall in someway ????

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
I'm confused...

So some people are talking about a new People Widget and I've seen a different one to the one I've got on Noah's (PhoneDog) review of the Sprint Hero here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zcmfn3ilXd8

I've update to the new official ROM but my People Widget is the same thin vertical widget. Noah's one seems to take up one full screen and have 9 contacts visible at the same time.

Do any of you guys know anything about these different widgets and why some have them and some don't?

Tar!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Scottland:
Much prefer the look of the version in the video, maybe HTC will include it in their next ROM update?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ZenorGR:
It is included in Modaco's custom ROM 2.3 and Drizzy's custom ROM just for your information. I thought it would also be included in the new HTC Rom, weird.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fonzpda:
I have it on my hero. It came with 2.73.751.4. When you select the + from the home screen > htc widget > people > it lets you select either the 3 vertical contacts or the square of 9.

I heard the updated rom from a few weeks ago on the HTC website is the same as mine except for some chinese stuff that was included on the version I have. Its 2.73.*.5. I forgot what the star is.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
there is no need for a contacts widget at all actually.

Just make a folder on the homescreen and add your contacts in it, you can add as many as you want because the folder windows will have a scroll bar if needed. You can add 12 contacts without the need to scroll though since they will fit on the first page, that should be enough for the most of us.

The folder will take the space of only one item on the homescreen and is much faster an easier to access, without eating up your system ressources as widgets do.

You can define default behaviour for each contact seperatly:

- open detail view

- call

- send message

I tried many different ways, but the folder solution is by far the best one. Giving up a whole htc sense homescreen page for one contact widget doesnt make sense at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ayulin:
More of a personal preference kind of thing, I guess... If you have a spare homescreen and just want quick access to contacts right there and then.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
of course you are right, this is a personal preference thing.

But just one thing: i have my persons folder on the 1st homescreen tab, so i will be most definetly faster accessing any contact as somebody who has to swipe to a different page in order to see his favourite contacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
@fonzpda

The official UK ROM (2.73.405.5) doesn't have this new widget. Can you remember where you heard this info as I'm wondering what else is different now...

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tomjb:
Yes for T-Mob UK No for Orange

My handset with the UK Orange Firmware from last month (2.73.61.5) doesnt have the new widget.

The UK T-Mobile Firware from today (2.73.110.26) does

Looking a the two handsets I cannot see any other diffrenece between them apart from a different Radio FW

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
Hi all.

concidering amount of the brains (and I mean in a good way), passing those forums, how come nobody haven't find a solution to mark all unread e-mails "as read". At the moment I´m using POP3 account and I got about 30-50 e-mails per day + some spam. So it is quite frustrating either open every single e-mail or just to ignore green sign with number of unread e-mails in the home screen.

... or is it only me who will find this irritating...

anyway - cheers to everybody. Great community here. In the pass I was probably only WM user in my neighborhood, who could actually use it ...thanks to XDA, as all the problems I had, got answers here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyborg:
What about check all email accounts for new email solution? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
You can delete em all... but may be that's not what you want. So if you don't wanna read them all, you should be able to change your POP3 setting on the mail server in such a way that it does not send you the spam. You can also choose from within the HTC mail app how many mails per day you want to download. I know this is not the solution but am just suggesting something.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuyichi:
I would like to know that too! It is really annoying to read emails you dont want to read or you know what is in the email.

Would be nice to have an application for it
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
just to clarify... my problem isn't the spam and not the quantity. As Im using my laptop as primary worktool for checking email etc, im using my phone only when outside the office, basically in the near future I stat to use exchange anyway (waiting the setup), but this is something at the moment that I would like to solve (as it was solved when using WM diamond). Just imagine, have read all 30 mails received by noon and driving out of office, when checking mail while driving, I got all the mails received/read earlier shown as "new". Simplest thing to do, when not using IMAP, is mark them all read, which should be something easiest tasks with WM phone but not with Android... I hope you understand ....

basically I have lot of unread e-mails. I will pick up the ones I think are important (based on the subject) and read them, all others I will ignore and I would mark them "as read".
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
OK, the bottom line is the mails you don't regard as important, you don't wanna read them ever... so why not "bulk delete" them??!! Cuz I imagine you just don't wanna see the mail icon displaying those mails as a green bubble. You can do so!! When in the HTC mail app where all emails are listed, press menu and select delete >> you'll see a X icon in from of every email >> you can select the ones you don't wanna read ever and then delete them all at once. I found it quite handy. But the Exchange server would be great once you get it. I just hope that Yahoo mail also becomes IMAP.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuyichi:
Ok you can delete, but stilll if you want to save some emails for later. This is a missing function.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saphuis:
Open GMail in your browser (so not the hero app):

Do a search :

in:inbox in:unread

Then choose select all.

You will get an option of selecting all mail in the search.

Choose action: mark as read

And tada, all mail is read!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
hmmm.... I have no idea what do you talking about...

R U sure this is HTC Hero standard mail app, you have this "search unread" option and "select all" option? My phone sure as hell doesn't have this function.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sustanon:
true, true...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkoouu:
saphuis is probably talking about gmail app, not the inbuild imap/pop/exchange client.

This is a missing feature, we need to be able to select multiple messages and do stuff with them, currently this only works for delete ( Menu-delete )

I'm not sure, but if you don't need exchange, you might be able to use default android mail app, that might have the features you request ... quick google search did not help me to be sure ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saphuis:
should have been more clear.

Had the same problem. Could only solve it in the browser gmail environment.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
OK, another idea to solve the problem in its current state (although it is not an alternative to including the desired feature in the mail app!!) >> How about moving all the unread mails at once to another folder e.g. Trash?? That way, you'll still have them but won't see them in the inbox or as a green bubble.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kkoouu:
Same problem - there is no possibility of multiple selection ...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
There is, buddy! On the main Mail app screen, press Menu >> More >> select Move >> Select mails >> select folder >> there you go!! :)

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
well this might work, but it's lame. how can it be that this device is advertised as the uber-internet-and-mail-smartphone and is not capable of the simpliest tasks... this has to be improved, it's a shame.

i mean, we're not apple, so this should be possible without three major os releases, shouldn't it?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
POP3 doesn't support 'Read' as a flag does it?

AFAIK, the App keeps track of the last message it saw, and downloads new ones since its last download - but there's no Read synchronisation between different POP3 applications.

You need IMAP for that - or use Gmail to collect your POP3 mail and then use the Gmail app instead..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemax:
I have my HTC Mail linked to my Apple MobileMe account.

If I read, delete, not read a message on the Hero, this is reflected in Mail on my Mac.

Seems they are synced pretty closely.

Sorry, not in any way helpful here, but just wanted to highlight the fact.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
POP3 didn't have this option with WM as well. Issue here is not the difference between IMAP and POP3, but missing feature on the standard E-mail app on the HTC Hero (android op sys) to select all unread messages at once and mark them as read.

There are different options how to mark them unread and all these options are fine until you have couple of e-mails per day, but if the quantity of the e-mails is quite high, then all those options (like manually selecting each e-mail) fail.

So basically this is the reason I hate to use e-mail app and one and only advantage of Windows phone comparing to android at the moment. ... I hope this advantage of WM will dissapear soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndiTails:
joemax - MobileMe is IMAP, hence the sync'ing :)

manager2a - Ok, I understand a simple 'Mark as Read' is omitted, but as salmanbodla has highlighted - why not just bulk-move them to another folder on your device instead. Surely that would make spotting new emails a lot easier and still give you access to old ones.

A mailbox with 100 read emails in the Inbox isn't much use to anyone really. It's better they are somewhere else for access, and new emails fall into a nice, fresh, empty Inbox.

It's all about GTD (Getting Things Done) :)

Or, as I suggested, if work will allow you - just get your mail redirected to a Gmail account (or use their POP3 collection facility). That way you can store ALL emails in their 7+GB capacity, have full Google search on it, have excellent Spam protection, and still be able to send emails as the work email address (you wouldn't have to send as @Gmail.com) - even via your works SMTP server.

Then you get real PUSH on your handset from Google, and get to use the better client software instead of the flawed Mail one.

Is it possible to create email folders in the Mail application? Bulk moving emails to folders sounds great but it would work better if I could create the folders.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
... I have followed those recommendations to use Gmail instead and to be honest I love it. configured my Gmail account to fetch pop3 emails from my work email server and now they are all neatly there as well. Gmail app on the HTC Hero is also great. When email arrives, there is a mark at the notification bar. When I open the e-mail app it will dissapear - will I read all the mails or not. So this is the solution I have been looking for. thanks.

then again, always if something is good, there is one "but"...

I configured gmail to use different email aadress as default but when sending emails from gmail account, "from" field will display "xxxxx@gmail.com" on behalf of "xxxxx@xxxxx.xx" (later is my email address I want it to show). so basically receiver mailbox will handle this e-mail as from "gmail.com" and treats it like possible spam... :( . Any idea how to disable the "on behalf of gmial.com" text?)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salmanbodla:
Could you please post a relatively detailed method about how to set this all up in Gmail?? Much appreciated :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manager2a:
quoting myself... :)

I got rid of the annoying "on behalf of gmail.com" by using alternative smtp server. so that is solved.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpaulie:
This is a feature I need as well.. Hopefully someone comes up with something and shares it with us.

For my situation, the gmail routing will not work(though this is quite clever!), and deleting or moving all every time is fiddly since you can't select all with one tap(have to check one by one), and i typically have a large volume of email. add the fact that some emails need to be retained and this just doesnt work. i need to keep the email in the inbox so i can run outlook rules on it when i'm in front of the PC.

Just want a simple button added to mark everything read! :)

(my dream is to have the option appear when you hit the menu key, or in the long-press context menu)

I would also be open to using an alternative email client (vs. built in) if it had this functionality. As a new Android user, do any alternative email apps even exist? Stupid question, I know, but if anyone has any good alternatives on this front, I'm all ears.

<soapbox>

It seems to me that marking everything as read is a simple function native to all PC based email applications. So why not smartphones? This was something missing in WinMo natively as well, but someone found something in the registry that enabled us to perform this function.

Hi guys.. just got my new HTC Wildfire with Android 2.1 some days ago and struggled with that email-client too.

Solutions I found here:

1. delete all mails every time

2. move them to another folder every time

3. use Gmail-Account and send all mails to Gmail

4. look at every mail

5. ignore the green line for unread mail

6....

So these solutions don't satisfy me at all..^^ I think it's a real problem, too. I hate those work arounds and would be very pleased if there is a solution to have this really (to me) important function.

Solution for DHD

Hi, this thread is probably not active anymore but for those who stumbled upon this thread at first as I - when I was looking for the similar solution for DHD, I then found very easy trick (HTC mail client): you just select one mail in inbox and then menu changes, so you are given option to select all and then you can mark them as read. So trivial ... (solution thanks to - http://www.guidodiepen.nl/2010/11/mark-all-messages-as-read-in-htc-mail-app/). It should work for other HTC devices mail clients too.

Bluetooth doesn't work on any Hero ROMs for the Dream, so that's why. As WiFi try wiping and reflashing, if that doesn't work it's a ROM issue. LEDs are working at about 60% brightness on most recent Hero ROMs, send yourself a text to test it.
