But seriously, great review!! :D

I third that :(

But excellent review by the way (especially on the battery usage!)
[G1 General] drtretj:
Too right, mate!
[G1 General] pjcforpres:
Your welcome! I will say, if you check out the Nexus One forum opinions differ on battery life, but those saying it isn't good enough or are having issues with it not lasting long enough seem to have something off IMO.

I would say, with my normal usage, I could get 2 days of use on a full battery. Doing power use to the max I would get a full day. The only way I see this phone not lasting an entire day is if you are surfing the web, playing music, and using GPS non-stop type thing.

Title says it all...in the All Contacts Updates tabs it's not showing the option to link all contacts with my Facebook.

It works when I do it manually, but I obviously don't want to go through 250+ contacts and link them one by one.

Anyone had this problem or know how to fix it?
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
I dont think it's a problem as such, rather just the way it is!

I agree though it's a mission to link them all, and TBH it's not worth it..... I've linked mine and none of the automatic updating of profile photo's, status', or events works unless i press update on each contact manually!! :mad:

Others are having the same problem and so far no solution :(
[HD2 General] emigrating:
Works fine for me and I have never updated a contact manually since creating the link.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Same here, and only 2 of mine wouldn't link automatically. 1 of them uses a different name on facebook than in real life and there's no email address for her, and the other one has a double-barreled surname and he only uses the 2nd part of it on facebook.

I've found the facebook integration pretty much perfect and have none of the issues that others have reported. It updates for me on a very regular basis, both status updates and contact photos.

To make sure it works fully, just make sure that your contacts have email addresses that match their facebook account emails. That way, it can match the majority of them with no problem.
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
Yeah it would be really nice if it could link contacts to facebook itself but that would require that all your facebook contacts have chosen to show their phone number in their facebook profile and allow everyone to see it. That is highly unlikely that all your contacts would do that.

Another possibilty is maybe to enter peoples facebook mail in your Contacts. However, I dont store email adresses in my Contacts.

Therefore you need to link manually. However, I miss a feature to backup the link when you install a new ROM.
[HD2 General] Archer:
That's not true.

Mine have been linked by email address.
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Hmmm that is strange why mine does not :confused:

I had no problem linking them and 90% of them were found automatically by name ( i do not have email address stored with contact details), it's just the auto update feature that does not work at all :(
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
Yeah, but not all people save email adress in their Contacts.
[HD2 General] omershahab:
Yeah I just went through and manually linked like 100+ of my contacts.

When I go into each contact's Facebook link page it automatically suggests the correct person to link to. The issue is not that it can't match up the contacts with my Facebook friends, it just doesn't show the option to do it all at once.
[HD2 General] pedmond:
Then how do you expect to make the link, based solely on name?
[HD2 General] DonDolowy:
Read my first post - thats why I write it would be impossible to make a link unless the facebook contact has entered his/her phone number and made it avaiable.
[HD2 General] matt_attack_2k1:
back to the OP, was this resolved because I have the same problem, it doesnt show the link all facebook option in the updates and events part, just my facebook profile pic and when i press it it goes to my updates? How do i get this option to link all because i cba linking 200+ contacts?
[HD2 General] LongZheng:
Mine linked 39 contacts to Facebook automatically and seems to do it by name (since I don't have emails stored for them).

Shame it doesn't fetch any telephone numbers listed on their Facebook profile though.
[HD2 General] DexyG:
Mine only did 2 or 3 automatically. What annoys me the most is that the Facebook link only updates HTC Contacts automatically, to save the information to Outlook Contacts you have to go in manually - and this means that when syncing via MyPhone or ActiveSync the pictures and birthdays etc aren't always synced.

And not adding birthdays to the calendar automatically bothers me too.
[HD2 General] Archer:
Maybe not before it became normal to send and receive emails on phones, but it's very common now, so I'd imagine more and more contacts are getting email addresses added to them.

It's the most obvious way to link a contact to a facebook account, after all, it is what you sign into facebook with! And as you yourself pointed out, not many people have their phone number publicly available on facebook, and quite right too!

If they're your friend on facebook then you've got their email address. Just add it to the contact details and it works.
[HD2 General] BsB|oVeR:
Anyone experience this problem where after u link a particular contact to his/her facebook, the whole phone becomes very laggy when u try to edit the contact info again? Any solution to this?
[HD2 General] xenomeno:
Hi, I have another problem with FB on HD2. I added some new friends and I try to link them manually but they are not shown in my list for choosing FB link(when I try to edit contact options and link it with FB account). If I start FB client however the new friends are there. Another problem is that I have deleted some friends and they are still listed as friends on my FB client.

Anyone can help?

Cheers
[HD2 General] Ambious:
I found a solution in my case.

I had the exact same problem, and then I found that in "All Contacts" if I go to the "Updates and Events" scroll-tab in the bottom I can select to link multiple accounts, and voila - all is well. It even auto-detected all of them:
[HD2 General] moraes:
I cant find that " .. to link multiple accounts"
[HD2 General] Karlos G:
Nope nor me! :confused:
[HD2 General] benbenson:
SOLUTION!!

This foxed me for a while too, thought it was different ROMS not doing it.

But, to conclude, it DOES link facebook contacts by name. It presents an option as a user said above, saying "63 suggested links", which it does by the name in your winmo contact list, and your facebook contacts.

So why isn't it always there? Because of the names against your contacts. I backed my contact up to the SIM, then back to the device after flashing the ROM. All looks good in the contact list, but edit a contact details, and the firstname AND surname are in the surname field, comma separated. Update it so that first name and surname are in the correct fields, and the "suggested links" option appears.

Still means editing all the bloody contacts though :(
[HD2 General] ckellum84:
This is very annoying. When I bought my HD2 second hand it was loaded with the official Hong Kong rom. I didn't need all the extra keyboard symbols so flashed it with the o2 ROM as I am using an o2 sim card.

With the HK rom I was able to sync all contacts with FB, rather than each individual one. Now, with the UK o2 ROM this feature is not there. Looks like i'll be going through each one, one by one. Fail!

Any help with this? is there a work around, or a better UK rom that retains this feature?
[HD2 General] breadmanwife:

Hi to all.

Do someone have problems with the activation of the bluetooth feature on this pda?

For example when I try to enable it on comm manager, my hd2 simply freeze, and the only solution is to reset the equipment. What is strange is that when it comes back the bluetooth is on.

I don't have tomtom installed, the rom is 1.48 wwe htc and I have this problem with 1.43 rom also.

Please can someone help me with this subject.

Best regards,

[HD2 General] fox_hehe:
Hi,

I had a similar problem with my HD2.

Activate BT took a very long time and failed with an error message, I can't remember it but it says that it wasn't able to activate BT.

I did a HARD reset and everything went ok !
[HD2 General] mouki_9:
same problem here. I use bluetooth for the carkit in my car. But since bluetooth is a huge battery drain, i turn off bluetooth the moment i get out of my car again. And turn it on when i get into my car. All via the comm manager. Here on miri 2.0 based on the 1.61 rom the problem is also present. The only way to fix the bluetooth freeze/malfunction is to softreset the device. At startup of the device bluetooth is indeed turned on....
[HD2 General] arunagiri_gt:
Me too having the same problem

It got struck when I've tried sending files to my friend's phone via Bluetooth. I restarted my phone to get it up (luckily it got up with Bluetooth on)

I have the same problem and still do :-(

My HD2 freezes when I connect to my PC through comm manager/ActiveSync. The only solution is soft-reset!!

Active Syn BT Freeze

I have the same Active Sync / BT freeze problem. I use Miri V.22 6.5.x. Believe having this problem since V 17.x. I don't remember having this when I first flashed ROMs in March.

Any update on the issue?

Thanks
[HD2 General] mbernstein:
Possible solution

This seems to have solved my problem.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7025327&postcount=23

I could not delete/rename BtCoreIf, but just deleting BtSdkCE30.dll and making BTTrayCE.exe as a shortcut in startup is working so far. Two long syncs with no freezes.

I hope this helps others.
[HD2 General] mbernstein:
It froze after an hour connected. Better but not great. :(

Finally managed to delete BtCoreIf.dll. Trying the next few days to see if it solves the BT problem.
[HD2 General] shemeri:
fixed

I found out that my BT was freezing because of third party application which I have installed in my phone. I uninstall it and never froze since :)
[HD2 General] mbernstein:
Fixed as well

Thanks. Yes, this seems to be the case here as well. I managed to follow the instructions I provided above, deleting the two files TomTom had changed, and now I'm back to having my BT Active Sync working well again.

[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
I presume you refer to the phone signal in calls or data being low. You can try another radio. As radios are area specific though you may need to try a few to see which one gives you the best results in your area.

You can find more info and the different radio versions available here.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Wajk:
3G or GSM/CDMA?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xborfi:
I have the same problem with radio 1.09 on GSM. any suggestion? the signal weakens and it gone suddenly... if I move the phone 5-10 cm the signal come back again!!!!
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Yes, same as I advised earlier. Try another radio.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] xborfi:
radio 1.12.25.25 Fixes my issue almost 95% ! I am happy with my HD now! :p
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
Glad to hear :). If you change your radio, it is recommended that you should ideally flash the matching rilphone.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
Excellent glad you got it sorted. Generally if you are getting low signal, best advice is to try another radio and match rilphone. All info can be found in link provided by ClydeB1 above

[Hero CDMA General] exbm:
I got my hero two months ago. She was brand new in box but I bought from an unofficial third party off ebay. I was told that was some sort of developer phone and came with a month of free service.

Instead I flashed her to cricket wireless. Besides the crappy service from cricket the phone worked great! It is the best phone i ever had.

Now two months later it has been very buggy. Standard apps that come on the phone are force closing. I have been having a hard time running some third party apps as well.

Voice recorder force closes on startup. It refuses to record video. pictures work. Sometimes i stop getting texts messages but i dont know if that's cricket or the phone.

Facebook will work for a couple days then it will force close and disapear from the apps pulldown and remove it's icon from my homescreen. Apps disapear from my homescreen.

The battery life has been declining at a steady pace. As of now it feels like I am battleing to keep it charged even though i start with a fresh charge every morning.

I can't get the handcent talk to text to work. Nor can i get the text to voice to work. google voice search doesnt work either.

I recently been using sip agent to make wifi calls because service is so bad that i can't make calls inside my house. (not the phones fault) this could contribute to my dead battery but i try to close sipagent unless I plan on using it.

other apps that used to work fine are force closing but not consistantly.

whatya think is going on? I also dropped my phone twice (with out a cover) but no visual damage was done.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
I would recommend reflashing the stock firmware, but you need to find out where exactly the phone came from to find out which firmware to flash.
[Hero CDMA General] RoidPusher:
How many apps do you have installed? If it's 70 or more that's probably the problem and is a known issue w/ the Hero. Some get upwards of 100 apps before random F/Cs happen, other around 70, for me it's around 85. Uninstall some apps and reboot.

Also the HTC location service is buggy and and lags the phone the longer it runs. It's good to reboot the phone daily or move to a custom ROM that has dumped the service.

And finally be careful if you're running a task killer. Some of them kill the process that lets you receive text messages.

hi mate its on vodafone contract buts its not branded.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wacky.banana:
Hi again,

Have you tried to hard reset your phone to see if the old rom boots up again?

If it does not then you might want to reflash your existing rom onto your phone using the SD card method (look at the threads at the top of the Rom Development page to find what you are looking for).

If it works and you are still keen to upgrade the rom you need to read the threads on using either the Goldcard or HardSPL methods to upgrade.

Come back and let us know how you got on.

WB
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] phillyctr:
hi mate i was having the exact same probs as the chap in the hd2 bricked thread,same messages etc and stopping at 9% i took there advice and reflashed the hpsl again which has worked a treat,i'm now a little dubious bout trying to upgrade as i don't fancy bricking it.

ive emailed htc to see why i cant upgrade from 1.43 to 1.48 seems odd it says my phone isnt suitable.

p.s thanks for the help mate much appreciated:)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] wacky.banana:
OK, wait until you hear back from them. However if you are now up and running and have installed HardSPL, I think you will find that flashing a new radio on its own might help solve your problems.

I think if you look at the thread you were referring to (this one...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=618084), IIRC, MysticGenius runs through a procedure for doing this that helped him sort out a similar problem.

Good luck with it.

WB

PS: Lesson learned here though is to read exhaustively on the topics on here BEFORE jumping in as fixing problems later can be both time consuming, if you are lucky, and a pain in the rear. As for that horrible sick feeling you get when you think you have bricked £500 worth of phone....wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy! :)

wipe & reflash
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
I tried that .. nothing .. epic fail... do you get decent texting speed?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] darkenergy:
i had this prob with many of the 2.1 roms, a pause between typing would be seen as a long press. making texting a real ordeal

i went back to modaco 3.1

all is good now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] inertiax3:
Yes, many 2.1 ROMs have this lag, but none of the MoDaCo ROMs .. they work perfectly!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] welshboy09:
I know it sounds stupid, but are you sure you'r using MoDaCo 3.1? I have never had any lag on the ROM at all. Even the keypad/keyboard. Where as that was laggy on stock 1.5 Sense and all of the 2.1 roms. But since i flashed MoDaCo all is good.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
I am possitive i am using 3.1 ... i have always had this problem its been so laggy texting like ... if i write three words it will only be half way through the first word when im finished and il be waiting and generally when you rush it gets confused and starts changing your words to weird longer ones.

thanks for the thoughts thought but keep them coming! Come on :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buck32:
Im using modaco 3.1 and the only time mine ever gets laggy which is very rare is when my wifi is on. Otherwise texting runs like a dream or hero excuse the pun. I have read by turning the "vibrate when typing" off in the settings helps supposedly to speed it up a little. Otherwise i recommend like others before me, to do a full wipe and reflash also backup any important files you need to keep i.e nandroid etc that u have on the sd card and format it. Also wipe ext 2 or ext 3 if you are using it. As I had to after installing 3.1 as i found it a bit laggy in areas. Good luck.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
completely removed ext partition remade it installed rom and still same lag... havent even put old stuff back on simcard..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] buck32:
Try this, install and use Advanced Task Killer there's a free version in android Market. Maybe you have an app that is hogging all your cpu just kill that app and try your texting. Although you shouldn't have since u wiped. Unless u installed any apps after that. If no joy hopefully one of the experienced devs could help you. Hope you get it sorted.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danmalone72:
Tried taskiller aswell as that one damn..
