I did go there.... same story, I can't seem to differentiate between emails and SMS they seem to use the same setting. So I thought maybe there was a way to get there via the registry.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vnb28:
If you go into the settings>sounds&notification>notifications, then hit the drop down box for New Email Message and uncheck the box for play sound and uncheck the vibrate box as well and it will only show you the notification when the email comes in. Then you have seperate options for the new SMS as well.
[HD2 General] Jade.N:
There is one issue I still can't figure out.

I have all my contacts saved with the corresponding country codes i.e. +966xxxxxxxxxx. When I am in the home country the numbers show up fine when someone is calling me. However when I have number saved on my contacts from a different country i.e.+961xxxxxxx and I am visiting that country, the HD2 doesn't recognize that number as the country codes are removed when I receive a local call.

If someone is trying to call me from my home country while I am roaming, the contacts show up fine.

(This is where I exactly miss my Nokia, never had this problem with any model I used before.)

Now, is this a issue with WiMo or HD2 itself? I have tried all kinds of combination with adding the prefix and country code in the Settings.

Do you have any idea or do I just have to live with this?
[HD2 General] Meganutter:
Hello,

I have recently gotten myself an HD2 and i am very happy with it (apart from running into bugs every day)

the problem i have is the following, every other day i need to soft-reset my phone in order to get my syncing working again. The weather and windows live mail wont update unless i reset the phone, this is bothering me a lot and i havent been able to find a solution to it. Does anyone here know how to fix this?

Greetz,

Mega
[HD2 General] pvandendungen:
I have exactly the same problem..

Weather and email won't synchronise. Phone tells me that I can't be connected to the network. Than I turn the data connection on and off, and than it works for 30 minutes or something. And than the phone refuses to synchronise automatically until I do the same thing again.

ROM: 1.48.404.2 NLD

Sorry for my poor english
[HD2 General] Meganutter:
i have the NLD Rom as well, another thing is that MSN instantly tells me i have no or poor connection.

anyone knows something for this?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Chaps,

Have you checked to ensure your SIM cards in your phones are 3GS compatible, ie the latest version Sim cards?

[HD2 General] Meganutter:
in my previous phones (Touch HD and Touch) the syncing worked without any problems with the same SIM card. but even with HDSPA it does not sync
[HD2 General] Meganutter:
*bump* anyone?

i found out that the connection was permanently lost after going through a zone known as one without data reception

3g and hdspa all have trouble connecting in and near these zone

[HD2 General] Meganutter:
*bump again*

Sim card is all ok

connectivity butts out after a while idle time

- MSN Messenger not signing in

- Weather not updating

- Mail not syncing

Please, anyone? solutions found here did not work for me...

I've just discovered a way to keep the GPS unit turned on when in standby - see here.

With GPS Cycle Computer, this reg edit works fine - I can turn the phone off using the standby button and GPS CC will track my route perfectly. However, another tracking program, Trackr, does not track my route when I turn the phone off. Does anyone know what could be causing one program to work and not the other?

Guys and gals, this is my first post, having only recently rooting and theming my Orange UK Hero, I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to create me a small .zip of a translucent Notification Blind that I can install on top of my other Theme?

bump im afraid folks
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] xsirhc6x:
i would do it for you guys but im not sure about something..

since all the themes iv done involve replacing "whole" apps, you would loose part of your current theme..

so unless you can remove files from an apk that arnt going to be changed, i cant help

anyone know?

to re -word... when you apply a theme, is the folder of the app replaced (in which case any files that were removed in theme, would not be on your phone anymore causing problems) or is it file to file meaning only files in side a folder that are "present" in the theme will be replaced on the phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slimjimwoods:
i dont know enough about it to be sure, but the way i saw it, would be to replace/change the .png that currently draws down behind the notification area, just have its opacity reduced by 50%. Im probably way off on this........

what app would the notification area be? is it an individual app that can be messed with?
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] xsirhc6x:
not really, thats why i asked what i asked... if i change just the notifications, it will change peoples themes

Hi guys,

I didnt find such a app so i figured to ask.

I need a app that will scan for bluetooth devices.

In one work i need a app that when i go into my car it will automatically connect to my bluetooth car. So my best guess is that it will need tp scan for bluetooth devices every x mins ?!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Josan123:
You can search for bluetooth devices (such as carkits) by going to settings->more->bluetooth.

Once paired with a device, the next time it will pair automatically. No special app needed.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tahityalin:
yes, i know that, but the bluetooth needs to be enabled all the time in order to do that.

I need one app that will just enable the bluetooth when it detects the car kit
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fijhas:
CAR KIT

my hd2 automatically scann my car bluctooth..i got pegeout 307..as soon as i start my car ..am connected...

thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tahityalin:
Yes, but u have the bluetooth on rite ?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
Well the HTC official car kit can be configured to auto start bluetooth when it is attached. Depends whether you want to spend all that money. Why not just install a bluetooth toggle app and place a link in the quick links. Doesnt take 10 seconds to switch it on when you get in the car.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tahityalin:
i agree wit you, i already have that, but u didnt consider the "forget to turn on" factor :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
how about a "post-it" in the middle of the steering wheel saying "turn on bluetooth" there is no way of auto turning on bluetooth when your in your car because the phone has no idea where you are. you will have to leave it on all the time unless you buy the car kit or remember to turn it on when u get in.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zenkinz:
there's no way to programmatically detect carkit w/o turning on the bluetooth, and if you are determined to do so, the only way is to turn on bluetooth and poll for carkit , and then turn off the bluetooth again, and then you repeat it at regular interval.

however such method is silly because (1) it doesn't necessary help to improve the battery life of your device (assuming that's the reason why you want to turn off bluetooth until you are in the car), (2) unless you poll every other second, you will not have your HD2 connect to your carkit immediately, which is the case if you've left bluetooth on in your HD2 all the while (well almost).

The best option for you is to download app like g-profile, create a profile that turns on bluetooth when you plug in your hd2 to your car power supply. As this is event driven, so you will not have the problem described above (except that you will have bluetooth turn on each time your hd2 is connected to a power source)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kevinsmbuk:
If you have a car charger and always use it, download bluetooth power manager, it will turn bluetooth on when the charger is connected and off when you unplug, it's the best your gonna get.

There are a lot of complaints on Google's android support forum regarding this issue. At least one person solved it by wiping their phone, but that's apparently not a cure for everyone. Apparently this is a known issue, and as usual, Google is not being helpful.
[Nexus One General] vibesnake:
I'm having the same problem with picasa sync. I tried with Hard reset but no luck it still showing error and not syncing with picasa album. all other google services are working fine.
[Nexus One General] jagjr86:
I was having the same problem - It was only grabbing a few old albums of mine and not syncing the newer albums from my Picasa Web Albums - I was so frustrated! But after careful examination, I noticed my wife's Picasa account was the one logged in on the Picasa desktop app, so consequently, it synced all the photos to her web albums and not mine. So I logged out of hers, logged into mine, synced to my web albums, and instantly all my pictures synced to my N1. Hope that helps anybody else having this problem. :o:):o:)
[Nexus One General] vibesnake:
it does'nt make sense... you just logged out of your wife's account from YOUR nexus one?

But all of us are having problem for not being able to sync the picasa album at all with our own account...

So what you are saying is that we need to log in onto computer from our account and then the phone should be able to sync the album to N1 while we are logged onto computer ?

please update us with more detailed instructions .. it will be very helpful if you can be more precise
[Nexus One General] ndboost:
i too am unable to sync with picasa. This is mainly because I created the picasa account after registering the phone and signing in. Using the Cyanogen Recovery image and wiping the phone right now to see if that fixes my issue.

Ill update if it did.
[Nexus One General] ndboost:
Yup confirmed...

I am running CM 5.0 Beta 5 and doing the Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset doesn't work.. I had to boot into the Recovery Image and do a full wipe of dalvik-cache as well as system wipe.

I just lost all my apps and have to redownload everything however Picasa sync is now showing up for me.
[Nexus One General] chrisboyle:
For many people this problem seems to be because they have an @googlemail.com account (even if you sign in with @gmail, the server knows that @googlemail is canonical). A bug has been filed: http://b.android.com/6431

If you look in comments 1 and 2 of that bug, you'll see support forums where Google stated on 19th January that they're aware of the bug and working on it. I have proved that for me in particular it is definitely because of @googlemail, see comment 4 of the bug.

Hello,

my HTC HD2 stays online after each weather update. Last time the data connection was open for more than 14 hours. Now I switched the weather update to manual updates, but that is not, what I like.

this is really dangerous, can mess up your system if you have one wrong character in it.

better: go to recovery, make nand+ext backup, copy contents of old card to pc, pop in new card, partition same way as the old one, copy contents from pc to card, restore backup.
[HD2 General] Pooper:
Last night i took a photo then attempted to send it to a friend (MMS) - surprise surprise the phone made no effort to send it and it sat in the Outbox. I deleted the message and re-created it then attempted to re-send... again... didn't even try to send it.

So i created the message again... but this time, it couldn't find any of my photos... which I thought was odd... so i try to load Resco File Explorer - and it complains that it can't find the program (installed to SD card).

So it seems that magically I have no SD card any more (fwiw: i'm using a 16GB Sandisk one).

So, thinking the phone is just spazzing out, i reboot it.... and now it won't even f***ing recognise my password!

I'm being pretty patient with this phone as i've loved it up until recently... but if i'm honest - i'm starting to grow weary of it now!

If anyone has any thoughts on what might have caused the above - i'd appreciate it!

Thanks
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Don't know what has caused it but, if you have your data backed up, I would go for a hard reset and take it from there.

Incidentally what version ROM are you running?

WB
[HD2 General] Pooper:
I'm using the stock UK T-Mobile 1.43 ROM

UPDATE: I've left the battery out for an hour or so and also performed several soft resets........ and now, the "unlock" button does nothing! No confirmation of a wrong password... just........ nothing!

So ****ing pissed off!
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Pooper,

You say you have done several soft resets. Have you tried the

hard reset

I suggested earlier (different procedure to soft reset)?

If you try that and it doesn't work then take the easy way out and return/exchange the device as faulty.

Alternatively, if you get it up and running and are not precious about the T-Mobile rom, then flash to another rom (the stock 1.48 is a good start) and take it from there.

Just in case you do have a dodgy device I would start by returning it if the hard reset does not work.

Keep us posted on how you get on.

Cheers

WB
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
On this forum, 1 in 2 posts ends with "Hard reset it"...

...1 in 4 posts says "You must have a faulty device, send it back"

I pity the poor guy in the returns department of HTC. The quality control guys on the other hand, they really like to party don't they?
[HD2 General] wacky.banana:
Sometimes hard resets do resolve strange issues. Soft reseting is a way of life in the winmobile world.

The dilemma people have at the moment is that because there are so many reports of issues and variable manufacturing quality in these devices and they are all under warranty, it makes sense to play safe and send the device back if

all sensible and warranty friendly measures

to resolve problems have failed.

Must admit I would be really cheesed off if I happened to have a faulty device on my hands, due to manufacturing errors, which the manufacturer would not accept back because I had tried solutions to resolve problems that they considered not to be warranty friendly. Definitely would not be happy after having spent £500 on a device.

Regrettably, therefore, this is why the most common recommendation at the moment is to send a device back. Not good but sensible and pragmatic.

WB
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
a hard reset is kind of the mobile equivalent to restarting your pc, and we all know that is the first thing any tech support guy says. as for the quality control, don't forget that for everyone with a problem there are a few dozen people with no problems at all, they just don't start threads saying "no problem with camera, help not needed"
[HD2 General] oliie:
Not really.... a SOFT reset is like restarting you PC (i.e. your programmes, settings, personal saves etc. are all preserved); a HARD reset is more like reformatting your computer that has an ability to self install Windows when the format is done... (i.e. you lose all personal files etc.).

A hard reset is far more taxing than a soft one. Last option for me everytime!
[HD2 General] Towserspvm2000:
I very rarely have to do a hard reset with my Diamond (only after upgrading the rom), although I have to do several soft resets a day due to my tinkering!

I hear you Wacky Banana - £500 device that did this and I'd be a bit miffed too!
[HD2 General] leftkats:
Hi! Indeed, I couldn't agree more with you. I have bought my HD2 two weeks ago (as well as my brother and my dad about a month ago) and none of us has a any problems whatsoever and actually this is my first post after I have bought the device.

I am reading this forum everyday and I contribute wherever I can to help people out (not so much here, so forgive me :D).

I have came to the conclusion that either the branded units are of lower quality than the unbranded ones ( a bit unlikely) or the branded ones are full of software bugs by not so good operators tweaking (most likely)...

cheers
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Hehe, i knew i'd wake up to howls of anger and derision re: my hard reset comment.

The actualities of the process aside, the comparison I was trying to make was that if you have a problem on your PC, sometimes logging off and back on will fix it, whilst other times a reboot is required. (Yes, I know, a reboot is usualy the first stop because it only takes a minute or so, and there's no resetting to do, but bear with me)

In many circumstances I would equate a soft reset to logging off, in that it doesn't always solve a problem. Sure, it solves many small problems, but for larger probs theres nothing like a hard reset and start over. Planned ahead, and assuming you have all the apps you regularly use in a handy spot, and your data backed up, a hard reset need only take 10-20 minutes, if that.

Suppose it serves me right for trying to mix up similies at 3am. :)
[HD2 General] Audio Oblivion:
Your problem sending MMS's is probably to do with winmo getting the settings for T-Mobile slightly wrong.

Go to start->settings->menu->all settings->connections->connections->manage existing connections

edit the active connection and untick the box where it uses a proxy.

This is common to all winmo devices that automatically setup connections for T-Mobile.
