No problem, since I'm very new to WM programming I knew there would be odd bits which weren't quite there.

Continued testing the authorisation this morning and still sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Will see if I can find any info online about it since it should either work or it shouldn't, unless facebook isn't playing fair. I don't know enough yet about the apps and the useage limits etc to rule out facebook being the issue. The authorisation it seems if you are logged into facebook for the webpage and already authorised once before, it is able to fetch a new authorisation key without even prompting, so testing was difficult as it remembers that you've already granted the permissions to the app and behaves differently. Add to that, facebook randomly kills the authorisation page types (i.e. touch one was down a while back) it's a hard one to work out if it's my side or theirs.

Unfortunately I can only test this part in the evenings, when I have no time. The fortunate thing at least is once you have the authorisation key that's it.

Anyone have any suggestions with this issue?

Regarding the language file, it was all fine on mine until I changed my region settings, so that is why I didn't see it until now. Should be able to fix this problem now I can recreate it, sense clearly has an issue with the xml somewhere, it might just be the size (in which case it's easy to split it for the tab and the app). Unfortunately, sense's usual response to an issue is give up without error (nice-ish for the user, a pain for the developer) so it's trial and no-error...

LANG OK: Updated the language files DraftD, it appears Sense is VERY fussy with the formatting [seriously it's identical except the white space] (plus my editor (visual studio) may have been messing up the hidden formatting). I've tested it on mine by switching regional settings and resetting sense, so hopefully it'll be ok for you guys.

Having the FacebookStatusUpdate error as soon as I slide to the tab...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] meltwater:
If you have put the FacebookUtil.exe in somewhere other than:

device\Program Files\FacebookUtil\ then run it directly and then update the file path setting.

Oh also make sure you import the newer reg file (from the Beta Test Manual Post). That's probably it (the original one points to the old update utility).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Agent Zach:
Fixed.

Now just to get the API Authorization to succeed. :P Everything else is working good though. Will test thoroughly.

i'm in the market for an app (paid or otherwise) that can stream LIVE tv. when i saw that there was a trial membership for mobitv, i was excited...until i started using it. the resolution sucked, there's only about 4 live channels with the rest being saved replays...and tmo expect people to pay $10/month for this junk!? spbtv can do better. their channels sucked, but at least the channels were live. and it's a one-time fee.

does anyone have recommendations for an app that can stream live tv at a...respectable resolution? in particular, i'm looking for one that can serve my sports fix (espn, fox sports, etc). any opinions is appreciated :)

From what I hear Slingbox is pretty nice. Little expensive to setup but is pretty cool when you set it up. I don't think its actually live more of a DVR that streams to devices.
[HD2 General] dallastx:
I got pissed off and called Tmobile and asked why the other 3 tele's have free tv and i got to pay for this. Then i found out I have to pay for telenav as well......I never had to pay for those services! Of course she just said "im sorry" But yea besides slow speed the mobile tv and telenav issue really bothers me.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
well theirs no decent gps turn by turn voice navigation for free on windows mobile so I dont think their no reason to not pay if you want to use your hd2 as a car gps. The mobile tv its a rip off I didnt even bother trying it.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:

[HD2 General] refuse2bstopped:
This is why it sort pays to have 2 lines. Cause I have the g1 on the other line which has google maps and there's a free add on app that adds turn by turn talk navigation to it again FREE!!!! This is the only thing I hate about the HD2 as well as ALL OTHER Win Mo devices, everything worth having costs. That's where the iphone and droid based phones will ALWAYS excel beyond Win Mo devices.

Got a big problem with ActiveSync on the Desire.

Mail and Contacts sync just fine, but it gets to Calendar, tries a dew times then says "Synchronization is experiencing problems".

(Actually this time it;s just trying again and again and not stopping for some reason!)

I noticed a few comments about this in another thread about a cooked rom, but no solutions.

Anyone got a solution?

If not, how do I go about troubleshooting/looking at logs? I'm a WM man and this is my 1st Android baby.

HTC Sync 2.0.33

HTC released a new version of HTC Sync version 2.0.33, give it a try and see if it solves your problem.

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=933&news_id=627
[Desire General] fergusstrachan:
Cheers guys,

The problem was actually with the mailbox. Well, kind of, cos my WM6.5 machine synced fine with all the calendar items, but HTC Sync apparently has a problem with recurring item (according to very helpful supporty), so I cleared out loads of old calendar items and it was happy.

Will try the new version...

Hi All!

I know the Desire has a built in auto backup of some parts of the phone to the SD card, but I want to back up the entire phone, programs, settings etc etc. just like I used to be able to do on my Windows Mobile device! And also, it needs to be off the phone, not on the Sd card. Whats the point of backup onto the SD card if you loose your phone! I don't quite get HTC's logic in having their backup only onto the SD card!

Can anybody help?!

Thanks a billion!

David
[Desire General] ephumuris:
Try Mybackup Pro. It backs up to SD (yeah i know lol) AND there is an option to have it back up over the internet...can't remember if it is to their servers or sends to your e-mail address. I use the SD option.
[Desire General] david_inuk:
Thanks, I will try it!
[Desire General] JapanLover:
Do you guys know if the built-in backup function or MyBackup pro backups Market settings too?

I used to use Astro to backup my apps, but first of all everytime I restore it asks me to restore the apps one by one!!!

And secondly it doesn't backup the market so the restored apps ARE NOT updated via Market.

Only app I know does so is Titanium backup but it needs root access...

Thanks
[Desire General] david_inuk:
I've had a look at it, it's not the same as WM backup systems. It wont do a complete backup of everything. Seems that a simple one click backup of everything on Androind just isn't possible!

Not clever.

I wonder what it's like on an iPhone. I would assume that since everything goes through iTunes, the entire phone gets backed up. What with this and a numbr of other glaringly mising but basic functionality from Android, I am begining to see why they are still rather low down in the ratings of smartphone systems.

But then again, I used a blackberry 9700 yesterday, and just couldnt believe that people can type on their keyboard!, And I used to have a WM phone with a keyboard.

My perfect phone would be my HTC Desire with a thin slide out keyboard running Android with all the functionality of Windows Mobile!!! :-)

A Pipe dream!!!
[Desire General] Phoenixx2000:
Cant you copy your backup from the Sd card to your computer?
[Desire General] david_inuk:
Of course, although it's just an unnecessary step! I am used to connecting my phone to my computer and have everything work by itself! I have to install that program and see if it puts everything in an easily identifiable folder.

Windows Mobile - Very functional - but outdated

Android - Really modern and snazzy - Missing essential business functionality!!

Android Newb seeking a little enlightenment; apologies if this has been raised elsewhere, but I couldn't find it. I've noticed that the Desire doesn't sync all of my (1200+) calendar entries from Google Calendar, just the appointments a few weeks back to a few months into the future. This is a bit of a pain if I want to check events from last year, so is there any way of getting these older appointments synced onto the Desire? Many thanks for any help.
[Desire General] appetere:
I've same problem.
[Desire General] ianjd:
I've actually since abandoned the Desire over this flaw, but one kludgy workaround is to sync all appointments via cable and HTC Sync. That unfortunately creates duplicates, but there doesn't seem to be a good way around this.
[Desire General] kejaro:
Have you tried Exchange ActiveSync with your GMail. This allows you to select all appointments in Calendar settings.

I bought a HD2 case from eBay at the end of January.

The plastic part which holds the phone has started to crack and break off after only 8 weeks use. I contacted the seller but they responded saying only 28 days warranty is provided...

Is this right, given that the case was bought brand new from a UK seller?

I can't post links because i'm a new user. If anyone is interested the case is listed as:

[HD2 General] skyes113:
I have one contact which has over 1000 sms record on my HD2. Today while i was replying to the contact sms, i saw that the messages count was only 2. I then went into All Messages and discover that i have the same contact person listed there. One with 1060 sms and another one with 2 sms.

If i click on the 1060 and it just go back to the sense message tab. If i click on the one with 2 sms, i could reply.

I'm wondering if 1060 is the max sms that HTC message app could handle.

If i switch to traditional mode, i can see all messages from that contact.

Anyone has the same problem?
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
i had a similar thing.. i write like 1k-1.3k sms in one month, most of it with my gf. the sms thread with her deleted itself after like 3 -5 months or so.. couldnt find the sms again.

this happened two times with my samsung omnia.. dont know if it will happen with the HD2 too.. we'll see in 2 months xD

maybe it will not happen so fast here cause it has more ROM than the omnia.. but maybe its fixed in the windows system >.< suxx a bit, but since then i back up my sms every week xD

and btw, im not using the htc messaging... dont like it :/
[HD2 General] Mastakony:
WOW

I didn't know some people could keep so many messages on their HD2...

What is the use? Contest maybe lol

Or maybe you need to read all the 1060 messages.... (hummm)

Seriously, I think it's not a real problem and we have to be pragmatic sometimes

Just erase messages from time to time like 95% of us all : it's the best fix
[HD2 General] jamieeeee:
or just use myphone and put them in the archive once in a while. works great.

that way you can still read the messages on a pc if you really want to but ur phone is clean :)
[Desire General] Clivectmob:
Right, I've owned my Desire for about 2 weeks now, and I have to say it has to be about the most complete, reliable and considering its newness bug free mobile phone available today, and I've recently owned phones such as the iPhone, HTC touch pro 2, HTC hd2, Nokia N900, HTC hero, among a few others. Although, I have to say there is one thing that really annoys me about the desire, and I was wondering if I was on my own with this. I have an alarm that goes off each day to remind me to take a tablet, and usually the phone is in my pocket when the alarm goes off. The issue is its nigh on impossible to get the phone out of your pocket to dismiss the alarm without accidentally snoozing it. I've even bought a case to put it in hoping that would cure it. (incidentally the case is a slide off job but fits perfectly, and is available from Vodafone shops at £6) So now I can get it out of my pocket ok bit it snoozes now when I try to get it out of the case.

Now I always thought that you needed a human finger or equivalent with capacative properties to activate the screen but obviously not. This seriously needs to be addressed I think.
[Desire General] gogol:
I also hate this alarm thingy ...

There is a setting to change the behavior of "side button" from snooze to dismiss ...

But, that is what "side button" ???

I set to dismiss ... and I tried to use the hardware button, but it does not dismiss the alarm!
[Desire General] Phoenixx2000:
I think there are much more alternative alarm-apps in de android market wich can be set to not use snooze at all or just snooze when you push a hardware button.
[Desire General] cartoonmoon:
completely agree. This annoys me so much. Also, as Gogol mentioned, the side button option seems to do nothing.

If anyone can recommend a good alternative alarm, I'd be keen to hear from you.
[Desire General] friedgoldmole:
I used Alarming! on my G1 and found it to be the most reliable alarm.

To be honest on my Desire I am just using the built in alarm as I only use it to wake up in the morning and don't have any issues as the phone is on the table by my bed.

When calls get to me through the switchboard it displays 2 zeros in front of calling number. This means that no phone numbers in my contacts are with two zeros and my contacts does not get displayd.

Hi all,

any of you ever tried to sync only one (or more) specific contacts group?

I remember of such a function in Android 1.6, and it would be great to have it back on 2.1 too (maybe it's there and it's just me who cannot find it).

I don't like to have ALL the Google contacts sync'ed.

Thnx

Can't be done. See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=662949

Thanks Cleargrey,

would you tell me if you ever tried to sync Outlook with the phone did you manage to do so? It seems my HTC sync won't sync, telling me no errors but no contacts sync'ed as well :(

I also tried to sync Outlook with Goole, and found a good prog to do so (Go contacts sync) since I don't want ot go over with CSV import/export, but it states it syncs pictures too, and it doesn't... :(
[Desire General] JapanLover:
Cleargrey, just a little info to better understand the following HTC answer:

A1. It is not possible to sync just 'My Contacts', it would always be 'Google Contacts, or 'All Contacts'.

what do they mean with "Google Contacts or All Contacts"? Is it just basically a different way of referring to the same "All Contacts" group?

I'm asking because I just checked on Google Accounts and I didn't see anything like "Google Contacts"
[Desire General] JTHM:
There does seem to be some confusion over the various contact lists/groups on the phone and on Google Contacts.

BTW, Google Contacts can be accessed through your Gmail account (left side menu -> Contacts) or directly at www.google.com/contacts.

Basically:

All [phone] = My Contacts [Google Contacts]

Favorites [phone] = Starred in Android [Google Contacts]

Co-workers [phone] = Collegues [Google Contacts]

Family, Friends [phone] = Family, Friends [Google Contacts] resp.

user created groups [phone] = user created groups [Google Contacts], and vice versa.

All Contacts [Google Contacts] is never sync'ed on the phone.

All the above get sync'ed together, you can't cherry pick.
[Desire General] JapanLover:
Sorry to correct you JT, but if I access Google Contacts on my desktop I find "All Contact" contains 643 contacts.

Now, doing the same on my phone (Contacts -> Menu btn -> view) I see "Google (643)".

Hence my phone sync'ed All Contacts.

It would be great if it would have sync'ed "My contacts" only, cuz even if it's not a subgroup, it only contains contacts I want to carry on the phone
[Desire General] mcgon1979:
Two very quick questions I'd love some help with.

1. Whats the quickest way to type a new sms message? When I open the messages icon and choose "new message" it lists ALL of my contacts. Anyone I EVER emailed in my life. 1000s. I justwant to see my 100 or so SIM contacts as I want to write an SMS message. any way around this?

2. I clicked on new message (in the messages icon) and typed in an email address. The phone then sent the email as an attached MMS message via my phone service provider? I assumed it would use my gmail details to send it? Am I set up wrong?

Thanks, Got the desire yesterday. First time on android. bit lost really. not as intuitive as expected, but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.
[Desire General] JapanLover:
fastest way to send sms to a specific contact is to go to "Contacts", look for the person you wantto send the sms to, and then click not on the name but on the picture (or on the pic placeholder): some icons will show up so that you cna choose what you want to do. Click on message and you're good to go.

your problem is the same to me: I DO NOT want all my google contacts on my phone cuz everytime I have to do something with contcts (apart from phone, where I checked "show only contacts with tel number") it will fill my eyes with unwanted persons
[Desire General] JTHM:
Hmm, glad mine doesn't do that! :p Anyhow, go to your "All" contacts list on your phone, then MENU button -> View, un-check "Show auto Gmail contacts".

Seems I may have been wrong, Google Contacts' All Contacts do indeed seem to get sync'd in their entirety but this check box allows you to mask what you don't want to see.
[Desire General] JapanLover:
checked that, and will test functionalities for some days, but going to "search contacts" still shows up all Google contacts.

This is something really pissing me off.

For real: I can't understand why 1.6 had the opportunity to select the groups and 2.1 does not!!!
[Desire General] Raul Duke:
The Contacts/People feature seems a bit confusing to me.

The best way I've found of managing contacts is to create a group called 'Phonebook' and just use the People widget to display that group on one of my home-screens.

I can then add or remove anyone I like in there and it's easy to pick someone to call/text. The widget looks pretty cool too with everyone's facebook pics.

Seems much easier than viewing all People and scrolling through loads of Facebook contacts I don't need or Google contacts with only an e-mail address.

I can manage it all online under my Google account as well so setting it up only took a couple of minutes.
[Desire General] sawfoot:
