It saves them as xls files whenever I do that.

Can you click the attachment in the email and open it there? If so, save it from within excel that way (bit long winded, but will at least allow you to save them!)

What email are you using for this? I only use hotmail and gmail (not via exchange), so I don't use exchange. It's possible (if relevant) that this may be an exchange issue.

Edit: Sorry - you're using Outlook - that answers my question. I can definitely say it doesn't happen with hotmail, so it may be the outlook client, and it may be the outlook server. I'm sure if this is a client issue then it would have been spotted before now, so someone with relevant experience will be able to advise you accordingly.
[HD2 General] kaiser1976:
Thank you for getting back to me.

Well i open the attachment within outlook and it opens excel , but when i close it and want to open it later on i go to my storage card where i am saving my downloads to but the folder is empty , but when i check on the PC i can see the storage card does have it but as .att and i assume Excel is only can only find/look for .xls and .csv so i wondered where you can change the download settings for file extensions on the HTC HD2
[HD2 General] Archer:
Just to fulfil my curiosity, could you try saving an attachment in Location:Storage Card and Folder:None and be sure that it says Type:.xls (not that you can change that!)

When I do that, I can use file explorer to find the file in the root of my storage card. If you could try that and it doesn't work then there's definitely something funny going on!
[HD2 General] kaiser1976:
ok i have tried the following i have downloaed a attachment and closed it found it saved it on my storage card the phone seems to have created a folder on my storage card inbox\mailattachments and i can see all my downloaded excel sheets saved as .att i renamed one to .xls and now i am able to see it when opening Excel and going to the folder strange .. still no close in knowing why it is saving as .att , maybe once i opened them the first time i have an option to save them as .xls which i doubt

strange problem bit annoying
[HD2 General] Archer:
Very strange problem indeed. You're obviously viewing files in a manner that shows you the extension, so what happens if you just change it to .xls instead of .att ?
[HD2 General] kaiser1976:
yes i could rename them but that just annoying to always have to rename them so that i can view them at a later stage
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yeah, you're right, but it's obviously a problem somewhere. At least there's a solution for now. Maybe there's a user that has had similar issues and found a solution. Have you checked in non-Leo forums? This is a windows issue, rather than a phone-specific issue, so you may get more help there.
[HD2 General] Archer:
I really hope you've already done this, but there's an immediate suggestion from searching here...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4415147
[HD2 General] kaiser1976:
Thank you, i have just tried that and its a lot easier to tap&hold and save as rather then having to rename all the docs

I would like it to be saved auto with the .xls extensions but to be honest i am happy with this as well as i can now also save it directly into the folders i need it to be in rather then having to move them .. which was another problem for me

Thank you very much for your help really appriciated

Anyone else having problems with HTC Peep? I can't get it to login to any twitter account, just gives me a login failed (wrong username password type message).

Also use moTweet with no such problems (but would like to use Peep too to stay logged into one account)

It did work once, but not for a week or so now.
[HD2 General] tomdel:
yea im getting that too. I think its part of the general network problems that constantly afflict this buggy phone :-(

I get mail connection issues while opera works fine.. I am starting to think it might be something to do with the way the programs call the network interface in WinMo. :mad:
[HD2 General] planty:
I had a Google around and it seems some Android users were getting some similar problems with Peep in Sense UI. Wonder if it's more to do with the Peep app rather can a network issue?
[HD2 General] planty:
Anyone else getting this problem?

Appreciate if you use Peep and it's working you post a reply too (realise that many others will be using other twitter apps instead due to peep being a little limited in functions)
[HD2 General] sproxy:
Hi,

I am on vodafine UK and peep works without any issues on my HD2. On hero, Peep works on wifi as and other networks but does not work on Vodafone UK(regardless of the AP settings).

Vodafone is not blocking the ports, however they are certainly manipulating the incoming data to the devices. Some applications get affected from this process. While there might be other work arounds, I have noticed that using SSL for web requests in the applications resolves issues. For instance, an application I was working on was working ok on wifi deserializing json data from the server but it was failing to do so on Vodafone data connection. Using https instead of http on the server fixed the issue. Of course, this is a fix that need to be applied within the application.
[HD2 General] Vlk_77:
I had the issue with mine too so I created new account on twitter. After sucessfull login there I went back and all was ok. (It is the trick found by some1 else here...)
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've had it not work a couple of times, but 99% of the time it works all the time :)
[HD2 General] bel_z_bub:
it only works with my vodafone if I disable the proxy.. otherwise it only works with wifi..

but when I switch from wifi to 3G, the first time the applications try to connect again.. also weather etc. I get a connection error, althought the 3G/H icon flashes. also after a reboot.. but when I try to connect again it works fine..

not a real problem as I hardly use wifi on it as the 3G connection is really fast and at home the computer is always on and within reach..

when you disable the vodafone proxy, you won't be able to get in the live portal site and/or use those services.. but who cares about that..

generally this fixes a lot of things in the phone, as everything connects to "The Internet" by default. But the vodafone automatic settings screw them up. With the proxy disabled the The Internet account works again and this means it will use wifi when it's on, if not it will use 3G. With the proxy disabled you can also set your mail accounts to "The Internet" instead of "Vodafone live!" and it can receive mail over wifi and 3G.
[HD2 General] DavidC1980:
I tihnk mine worked with T-Mobs 1.43 ROM, but since using 1.61 (and a dabble with 1.48) mine only connects to Twitter through WiFi, not through GSM or 3G. The same is true for MSN messenger too.
[HD2 General] stratplayer:
Have Twitter changed something recently? I used to be able to connect using Tweetdeck & Digsby on my PC, as well as the HTC Peep app and moTweet.

No it seems I can only be logged on with one of these applications, or maybe I am barking up the wrong tree.... deffo wouldnt work on HTC HD2 until I logged out of my PC app.

may sound stupid, but this happens to Peep if you ever used Opera Mobile 10 for Twitter. Solution: log in to Twitter via OM10 and force manual logout there. Peep should be OK afterwards.

It's obviously an HTC Peep issue as many have installed other Twitter clients and they're working OK.

EDIT: I tried schnooller's advice (above) and logged OUT of Twitter.com using Opera on my HD2. Closed Opera, then relaunched Peep..and it's all working fine now

Afer Hard reset today I can not logon to peep again.

I installed the hotfix that was released in Feb 2011, but still no luck.

Any tips?
[HD2 General] Volund:
Twitter forbidden Issue

I downloaded and installed the hotfix, soft reset the phone, but still could not login to my twitter account. I then used a registry editor and looked in

HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager\

and made sure to manually enter my password into the entry labeled

HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager\TwitterPassword

Then I entered my real name in the entry labeled

HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCAccountManager\TwitterUsername

After entering the info in these fields which were blank before, I exited the editor and immediatly Twitter came up on screen and I was logged in and updated. It seems to work perfectly now. Hope this helps with anyone who still cannot get theirs working. I have a Tmous HTC HD2 with newest stock rom
[HD2 General] spithash:
just one question. when you say 'Real name' you mean my username or my fullname

ex.(username=spithash, fullname= Makis Papas) ???
[HD2 General] cottonpickers:
I put my twitter nickname in that box (spithash)

For me it *still* didn't work.

I had to change the twitter password, then I tried to log in to peep then I changed the password entry again in the registry and it all sprung to life :-)

I don't like that my password is in clear text in the registry, but deleting it seems to break peep again until its put back in.
[HD2 General] dhester:
I tried adding my username and password to the registry and it didn't work. My problems started after I had to hard reset my phone.
[HD2 General] FABRI68:
Hard reset is not the solution, i already tried. In my opinion we need a fix from HTC
[HD2 General] abyssdome:
nope! still doesn't work
[HD2 General] spithash:
fail

and again...doesnt work!
[HD2 General] M3PH:
I've got the same problems. Nothing seems to fix it. The best i can manage is using the registry trick to trick the switch in the data connections settings to think it is on. It otherwise has no effect.

I've also had the same problem with the youtube login for a very long time too. Cobine that with FOM dropping support for the windows mobile timing app and moving to android, i'm starting to think that there is some sort of sly push being made to try and move us away from our beloved OS.
[HD2 General] stevedebi:
Evidently Twitter changed their API sometime last week. I was able to go back to my April 26 version of NRG ROM, which had the HTC tokens in the registry for Peep, and that version is working after I restored my backup. But I think I will either have to forgo ROM upgrades or accept that Peep isn't going to work. HTC has to fix this, even though it is Twitter's fault for changing the API.
[HD2 General] ypsmav:
Has anyone heard something from HTC/Twitter regarding this issue?

I hope HTC solve it soon
[HD2 General] fuglynutlock:
I have the same problem. Initially I had "The account was forbidden to access th twitter server!" I logged out and tried to log back in but it gave me invalid username/password so I entered username/password in the registry as above and I'm back to the1st message. My weather app works fine and I have no other problems AFAIK.

After the hard reset, htc peep wont work anymore. I get the message "wrong user name or password but at twitter.com and even at tweet deck there are no problems with the same username and password. i read in this thread that it could help to change your password but it won't!! anyone else with solutions???
[HD2 General] PavleSRB:
Hello. First off all, I am new on this forum. You guys helped me a lot for some other issuses, but I didn't find time to register, until now.

About this problem: I've been in similar situation as arjanbannie. I messed up something when I was testing ADW Launcher, and then I got non-sop FC, so I decided to do a Factory Reset. On fresh Android I managed to login to Facebook and Flickr, but Twitter reports that I "entered incorrect username or password", which is stupid, because I login to Twitter like 3 times a day from my PC and ofcourse I know my username and password very well. I tried almost all solutions that i ran into, but I am still not able to login to HTC Peep with my Twitter account. So, please if sombody find solution, post it here!

By the way, my phone is HTC Tattoo.
[HD2 General] lexuz:

[HD2 General] PavleSRB:
Thanks for replay. Sadly, i didn't have any luck with logging in to Twitter, via HTC Peep, but I managed to login with TweetDeck, first time I entered my login details app logged me in, so i guess there is some problem with HTC Peep.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] AngelDeath:
Hey All, I came across an Idea for the TP2, could be used for any for the most part. But As I was coming here I hooked my phone to the usb cable to sync, and then it dawned on me, unless there is one out there already.

Is it possible or could it be done to have the usb cable also act as a sound relay? What I mean is, we all hookup our tp2 to the computer to sync, but I also use MyMobiler to see the screen, so I was wondering since some of us used wired headsets, could an app be created to send the sound signals through the USB cable to the computer, and have the computer work as a handsfree speakerphone? You could use the phone mic since it would be close enough to you.

Just a thought :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] devis:
Well, there's this... http://www.bluesoleil.com/products/Default.aspx?TID=14

Can't remember whether it was Panasonic or Motorola who had this PC sync program which also allowed phone calls though the computer. Loved it! It isn't a new idea, but it is certainly a good one.

I have a great offer with Bell and am considering moving service over there from Rogers. One of the options is "unlimited mobile browsing" for$7 per month. I don't need a phone, my unlocked Hermes 200 will work on the Bell HSDA network (confirmed this already with a test at the Bell store).

But if I take the unlimited mobile browsing package, will it work on the Hermes or will I be dinged for internet data charges? I've seen a variety of threads that suggest that only the HTC Touch was acceptable and for an old grandfathered plan. But really, how will Bell know what device is accessing their mobile web thru the unlimited service if the device is unlocked and was purchased privately?

Thanks for any help/personal experience you can offer.
[HD2 General] onkeldunkel:
Hi,

My first post - sorry about the agressive title, but I really am a little frustrated with my new HD2 which I have had for about 3 weeks now. Some of the things may be due to my ignorance and others are to me clearly errors:

1) Alarm clock does not always work. I set the alarm and set the phone to silent (I use that every day). The alarm goes of, but only displays a message on the screen and no sound (which reallly does not wake me up). I tried experimenting and turning up the ringer volume and setting a new alarm. The result is that the phone uses my e-mail sound for the alarm! If I turn the phone on/off everything works fine again for a while. I have set the flag is the settings specifying that alarm should sound even i silent mode.

2) Data connectivity drop outs/malfunction. I can have all signal bars on a 3G signal and the browser gives me "Not able to display page". I've tried Opera and IE and I've also tried closing all tasks, nothing helps. If I turn the phone on/off everything works fine again for a while.

3) Not able to delete multiple mails at once. On my iPhone I can click Edit, mark the mails I want to delete and then click delete. I get a lot of spam/commercials that I delete without reading, so its a nice feature for me.

4) Keyboard is just way to sensitive - I make so many typos on the HD2 keyboard and the arrow keys are next the space key, so many times I also end up pressing those

5) Speakerphone - the volume can wake up dead people and it is not possible to turn it down (enough)

6) Dropped network connections/no access - The phone seems to switch constantly between E/H/3G connections and sometimes inbetween I just don't have network access at all, e.g. I can't make/receive calls.

7) Video recording. If there is just a little movement in the scene - I get seasick from watching the recording

8) Freeze during incoming call. The phone just freezes and the Start menu changes to: "We're sorry..." - Soft reset required...sigh!

9) Mails deleted on the phone (OUtlook/Exchange account) is kept on the server and visa versa. On my iPhone, deleting a mail on the phone or in Outlook instantly (with the next send/receive) removes it from the phone/pc. On my HD2 that does not seem to happen

10) Charging via USB/PC - I use that a lot, also on pc's that do not have ActiveSync installed. On the iPhone you can do that and when you plug it in it brings up a dialog asking what you want to do - ONCE. On the HD2 I get a messsage saying "New hardware is detected" every single time I unlock the phone e.g. to read a new message, mail etc. That is so annoying.

I'm on 1.48 and applied all three released hotfixes (Camera, SMS and SD card). I've only installed Tomtom and Navigon (trial) and nothing else.

Any help is appreciated as I'm stuck with this phone for the next 6 months.

Thanks,

Jacob

[HD2 General] harolds:
Throw it away, better yet send it to me!
[HD2 General] Xeon:
I mentioned that in another thread, but I think it fits better here :

What I hate about the HD2:

1- Screen bugs. You must rely on your luck to get a good working screen

2- Voicecall quality: for some people it's acceptable but for too many others, the quality is one of the worst you can get for a 1000$ phone. Noise, crackle, distortion etc..

3- SMS loading time is miserable. HTC still is not aware of the problem or they are ignoring us because they know that their software code is buggy and needs recoding

4- Some if not most HTC devices have some hardware flaw like screen not evenly aligned with the frame that puts some question marks whether if it's going to put us into trouble in the future or not ie: top notch ( can leak water, dust, backlight, whatsoever ) or something like that http://xdaforums.com/show...4&postcount=94

5- Mediocre back speaker performance. And when it rings, it really feels like a cheap phone.

6- loose keypad. That's not really a problem but sometimes it's annoying, it also feels cheap in hand although the build quality is almost excellent.

7- Poor battery life, I mean really poor. If I forget to charge it at night, forget about calling me the next day.

8- Very sharp lens frame. That's not a big deal if you keep your device in its case but if not, beware, this thing can scratch anything it touches.

That's for me, you must also note that what I wrote is subjective and based on a comparison with my old XDA and HTC devices.

Hope that clears up things.
[HD2 General] onkeldunkel:
Hi WB,

Yep - I've read most of the posts (that looked relevant) on the Leo forums for the last month or so. I'm also aware that I can e.g. install a different alarm clock, connect to the standard button/place on the screen (described on Pocketnow), I also know there is a sensitivity tweak, I can install alternative keyboards and so on, but come on should that really be necessary on a state-of-the-art phone like the HD2?

Best regards,

Jacob
