It isn't exactly push like in the iPhone. The phone itself checks Gmail once in a while for new mail.
[XPERIA X10 General] SE-Naz:
Check In settings->Datasync... See if Gmail sync is disabled... If it is enable it... which will work more like push... but beaware battery drainage...
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
thats not push email ,thats pull. I expected it to behave like the blackberry push.
[XPERIA X10 General] Flamso:
Well then. It's pull alright.

[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Thanks Ratheen - my Gmail was working a treat until today - getting my emails pushed to my handset as they came in (yes.. pushed to the handset.. not pulled from the web).. but seemed to have stopped working today... going to try your suggestion..

It worked... just sent an email from my hotmail account to my googlemail.. and the phone received it about 10 seconds later.. MARVELLOUS...

Hey guys thought you might be interested on this Cool stand we did yesterday over at leakdroid.com. Here are some shots of the final stand.

Head over to http://home.leakdroid.com/2010/04/the-10-bill-nexus-one-stand-diy/ to get all the steps on how to make yours.

Nice video man... although the combo of your own selected music along with the Youtube vid was schizophrenic. Just go with the Youtube vid next time. That being said... 2 questions. First, what video was that on Youtube? Second, where can I find that Wall-e action figure? ;)

Im wondering about the HTC messaging app that takes like 10 seconds to load all your texts with a contact if its 20+..also the whole app starts to lag after a while if you have too many messages.

why hasn't htc fixed this still? is there any community fix for it besides using the zenyee cab ?
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
Because their customer service sucks big ones
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
htc don't care for customers problems ,they only care for profit
[HD2 General] erosennin:
Problem might be with the OS. It's a dying one.
[HD2 General] jimhaddon:
hoss_n2 seriously needs to be banned from this forum... all he does is spew tripe across the board and obviously has no idea what he's doing.

Also - hoss your sig is massive, please reduce it.
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Seriously, they need to follow Apples, Palm route, which is only load the last 10-15 messages instead of 100+, makes things MUCH easier on the UI/OS.
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Sarcasm? I am so tired, I can't tell.
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
in his defence, and if youve had any experience with the customer support youd understand, it's appalling.

you can tell them about an issue which on this forum about 500 people say theyve reported to htc and they have 'escalated' the issue, and when you talk to them they said its the first time theyve heard of the issue.

as soon as they release a phone, they develop 1 or 2 software updates for it and then simply focus their resources on developing and selling a new phone. it's all about profits.
[HD2 General] Raadius:
Nope, FACT.

I have over 5000 text messages to my fiancee on my iPhone, IT NEVER lagged or slow down on load up. Why? Because the iPhone ONLY loads the last 40-50 messages and gives you the option to load earlier messages. On my HD2, I have 505 text messages to her and Sense UI loads them ALL at once, it's a complete lag fest and a wait game.

:grabs snicker:
[HD2 General] jimhaddon:
In my defense this is my first WM phone, but did a LOT of research before purchasing it... HTCs non-existant support is legendary - just ask uncle goog.

hoss_n2's posts in no way convey this point - he appears to have done no research but bought a phone he cant use properly, then post rubbish over the net to complain. His fault.
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
While I have never had this sms lag problem (have over 500 messages in some threads from mrs and family) I also dont use sense (I prefer the normal home screen)... maybe its a sense issue?
[HD2 General] Susasama:
He was also banned from htcpedia, for spewing profanities, dissing htcpedia's site, claiming false information.
[HD2 General] Thuggie:
I don't have this problem...not even with 300-400+ messages with one contact. But I have turned off the "connect to facebook" option so I don't see the picture next to the person.
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:
why ,what is the mistake i have done now , i only said htc's firs interest is profit ,not customer services ,why i need to be banned for this ( why all of you changed to be aganist me ,i didnot say any thing wrong ) two weeks ago a thread started specially to to ban me ,and now this ,why all this hate towardes me
[HD2 General] hoss_n2:

I agree its a pain in the ass.

But its not a long wait, 10seconds max...

I understand everyones point though, it is annoying.

And we spent allot of money for this phone, little problems like this should have been smoothed over...

"i use wm phoner before you are born" - Doesn't really help your side though does it?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] humanista:
Since I can't afford 32GB MicroSD card, I'm looking for some alternatives.

I've just found out about "SD to MicroSD/TransFlash Card Converter Module" (search it on ebay, I'm not allowed to post links here). I already have 32GB SDHC card, but will it work with Touch Pro2?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] rusreid:
I don't think there's enough room under the battery cover for that converter and an SD card.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] humanista:
I didn't buy a Touch Pro2 yet, so I think that I must consider some other phone.

But generally, is this converter going to work? MicroSD male end of this thing looks kind of thin, so should I attach it to MicroSD-shaped piece of plastic or something like that? Sorry if those questions sound stupid, but I really don't have any kind of experience in this field.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] bczrx:
I think you would be best not trying to use this converter on any phone, unless you want to use it only once a day or so. To use this on a TouchPro2/Tilt2 you would have to cut a hole in the battery cover where the slot is located, and then you would have to have a delicate piece of plastic stick out at a right angle to the phone by 1-1&1/2 " to catch on EVERYTHING around it. I can't imagine this on a phone that is designed to slide into my pocket. Heck, I can't bring myself to leave usb sticks connected to my laptop when I am not using them. They catch on things.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to do. Do you want any old phone that lets you use 32gig cards? What other features do you want?

It isn't always the case, but there is frequently a relationship between quality and cost. The less you spend the odds are that you will not have as reliable, functional, or feature-laden of a product.

Admittedly I don't know a lot about most cell phones. What I do know makes me VERY suspicious of this working. My old MotoQ9c would take a miniSD card, but it wouldn't take a full sd card. All of the phones I've seen that use the microSD format have the card hidden inside and make that converter seem less than ideal. Some even put the card under the battery itself.

You COULD plug this into my old Samsung Ace phone and just move the cover to access it, but it would still stick out and be a major pain to use.

Good luck, whatever you do.
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Why does Google Map tell me that I'm 1000m from my current location? It's useless if I need street directions.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
This is strange. I have the same problem with my Rhodium. My HD2 has the best GPS I have ever owned.

I use Waze not Google maps though. Last night I was on the highest bridge of a multi road exchange and took a 90 degree turn that confuses every GPS device I have ever used but this time Waze made the turn with me.

Are you using the stock ROM?

Does Google maps support GPS?
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Well...I no longer have the hd2 because it does not pick up 3G 95% of the time and it can't find a GPS satellite. Google Map supports GPS. It was also stock ROM. I must have done a million hard resets. Basically, it didn't work for $450 + $50 tax.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Did you even turn on the GPS option in Google maps? If not then it was finding your location throught GPRS which is triangulation from cell towers.

I have both a Fuze and HD2 and both work just fine for me. Also when was the last time you tried runner Quick GPS to update the tracking files?
[HD2 General] rickyoon.vegas:
Google Maps, by default, won't connect with GPS, but find your estimates location from cell towers. that's why you're always a little off.

press menu and use GPS, and the GPS will track your location accurately from there on.
[HD2 General] Wil Badger:
Close but the newer version is Menu/Options/GPS
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Yes I turned on the Google GPS option. It just tries to find a tower forever, but never finds anything. I also ran Quick GPS after the Google GPS option didn't work. Similarly, I rarely ever get 3G. But, stick in my sim card to my old phone and everything is fine.

I think there is a big issue with the HD2.
[HD2 General] MirasHD2:
I have read that leather cases have something to do with this sometimes. Are you using one?
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Yes & no. Yes, I do when I'm on the road. But, no because I would try it at home - without any case - to see if it's accurate but it can't pick up any satellites.

I was only able to get a reading of my home position the first 2 days of owning it.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I think you mean with your particular HD2. Because as I said before, I've never had a better GPS device... ever. Any GPS device that can actually follow me on a 90-degree turn without missing a beat is just lightyears beyond anything else I've found so far.

Even with stock ROM there could be a number of things causing trouble:

You could have a bad phone. It happens. Manufacturer's defects will occur in even the best runs, that's why there are warranties to cover it.

Something may be interfering with your GPS receiver. Even if other devices perform flawlessly in the same location in your vehicle, one device may be more succeptible to radio interference than others.

You could have battery issues. A bad battery can cause all sorts of problems. When your phone can't get a good cell reception, it just boosts juice to the hardware, which in turn drains your battery faster. A bad battery just can't keep up. Again, this is why there are warranties.

Please don't just assume that the HD2 is a bad phone just because you had problems with yours. I've heard of people curse a phone maker because they got two or three bad phones in a row. The thing to remember is that when a plant makes a bad batch, the entire shift's production could easily be sent to the same area, meaning that multiple returns for the same issue from one customer are not unheard of.

I would return it and get a replacement. It may take a few times of swapping around, but you should get things worked out. Trust me, this is the best phone on the market today. Hands down.

#ListMaster
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Well...conversely, you can't assume the other direction because many, not only my phone, can't get 3G. Further, my phone can't pick up satellites even after many hard resets and no non-OEM apps installed. As I keep on reading threads, it tells me the HD2 is poor with reception. There's something to be said about this.

After selling my phone, I'm tempted to buy another one. But I'll hold out for awhile as more feedbacks come in.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
[OFF-TOPIC] Congratulations on your 100th post! You're a Senior Member now :D [/OFF-TOPIC]
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
The lack of 3G can't be blamed on the phone, you know. I live in the center of Austin, TX and my 3G is constant. I've driven 100 miles south to a small community there and couldn't get anything higher than Edge.

Also, T-Mobile won't kick you from a tower that doesn't belong to them. At least, I've never been able to catch them doing it. I always get the closest tower and best reception possible. Problem is, T-Mobile simply doesn't have enough money to ensure that every corner of every city has third-generation towers.

This is the same gripe coming from iPhone users; they say that AT&T just isn't investing enough in putting out more towers.
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Yeah, but the thing is - as I originally mentioned - I get 3G on my BlueAngel using the same sim card. Without this test, I would not have been able to point my finger at the HD2. The BlueAngel is something like the first PDA/phone ever and I still get 3G with it. I can't believe PDA technology has not advanced so much until now that I'm still using it after all these years.
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
I see. Well, I certainly can't say what the problem is. As I said before, you may have just gotten a bad phone, which would suck but it does happen.

I've never dropped 3G here in Austin since I've gotten my HD2 in. Of course, the icon switches between [3] and [H] all the time, but it won't drop to [E] unless I manually turn off the "Data connection" toggle under Settings->Comm Manager.
[HD2 General] starkall:
Sorry but, our GPS on our Hd2 only works when in 3g? Just wondering because im on Edge at home and it dont work. havent tried in 3g coverage yet though.
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
I don't know. I was associating poor 3G reception with my phone's inability to find a satellite.
[HD2 General] xtenpeben:
i live in long beach, ca and my phone finds gps even on edge. It also connects to 3g and has a stable connection. try replacing ur phone by using ur warranty.
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
No, GPS has nothing to do with 3g or your cellular connection. The GPS will work even if you have no sim card in and don't use it as a phone.

Also, I have to say, the GPS on my HD2 is one of the best I've used. I've had 4 other GPS enabled phones, 2 handheld standalone GPS devices, and 3 different bluetooth gps devices and the HD2 is definitely as good or better than all of them. I was very impressed... never thought a phone could work so well with gps.
[HD2 General] jiggahj:
google maps

GPS CONNECTION ERROR??!

am i the only one ?

No GPS receiver was found maake sure you have a gps receiver (built in or bluetooth that is turned on and configured towork with google maps for mobile. ??

UMM? is this so that i can bluetooth a tomtom or something like that and use their satelites ? cuz i ran quick gps why wouldnt gmaps use that ? my location is a little off but i am inside a brick apartment building. and its only off several blocks?

any way to configure gps to gmaps ?
[HD2 General] coburn_c:
the gsm blueangel doesn't even have a 3g radio
[HD2 General] dkb218:
Some of those first batch devices seem to have a bad radio rom installed. You should have gotten a replacement and checked.

Well if you were getting 3G on a BA then something is really wrong with where you live as that phones doesn't support 3G.
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
Which version of gMaps are you using? There's a setting in there you have to first tell it to use GPS for positioning, as opposed to simple tower triangulation (which is what it uses by default). The location of this setting is in the basic options menu, but it's exact position is a bit different in different versions.
[HD2 General] :
One thing I find funny about this is the fact that no one mentioned you actually have to be outside with clear sky to get a GPS connection, especially the first time. And depending on where you live it could be difficult to find the birds...sorry satcom job is showing through. Anyway, I love how people just assume that GPS will always work no matter what, not realizing what a marvel it is that we have it in the first place lmao. And if you bought your HD2 just cuz of the GPS you have issues...TomTom's are much cheaper lolol.

One thing to note: I've haven't had a problem with my HD2's GPS...but that's just me.

gps google maps

i am using the version that came witht the fone im going to get the new one from omarket with buzz is that one better, yea i might of clicked ondt use location cuz it was accidently clicked and open i had no idea what was going on then i saw google maps load n saw i mad a mistake ahha

ok so apparently i had it set to manually manage it, once i clicked let windows manage it it moved right along the map to a more accurate position, i was in the blue area but now i have a spot on fix jsut as good as bing... bye bye bing !!!

Map resolution sucked compared to googlemaps you could acctually see the trees & it wasnt all pixel'ly and nasty looking looked like the satellites used a nokia to take the pictures

scroll down after clicking menu go to options & gps settings and presto
[HD2 General] chrys9989:
I was sitting here reading this thread wondering this the entire time. lmao
[HD2 General] :
I'm glad I wasn't the only one lolol. Seriously though, people have been mentioning how they cant get GPS while INSIDE of the their domiciles. Really? No offense to anyone but the satellite(s) you're trying to reference are thousands of miles away and having a solid object between you is kinda of an inhibitor lmao. Just a thought...

~Jasecloud4
[HD2 General] :
Maybe he thought that the letter G by itself means 3G? LOLOL...
[HD2 General] Snarksneeze:
Let's just hope he wasn't all upset because [H] or [3g] was staying on all the time and he never saw the [G] or [E] icon from his other phone!
[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Looks like my old phone doesn't have 3G. In any case, GPS used to work - indoors - on my HD2 (pic1) but it stopped working some time after a hard reset. For the most part I can't get 3G either. It jumps everywhere within secs/minutes (pic2-4).
[HD2 General] jiggahj:
as I said I was in a brick appartment bilding but I am in new jersey xxxix15 mins from the city does work inside jusT works better/faster im in a basement now and spot is silll good

A Good Laugh

Hello Everyone,

Thanks for a good laugh and putting a smile on my face for the day. :)

I always find it worth a good laugh when people blame hardware but, do not even understand the technology.

Kind of like a mechanic that blames his tools or lack of tools instead of lack of skills.

My HD2 has been flawless on the Stock rom since I first powered it on and the gps in conjuction with google maps has been spot on. That little message in the upper righthand corner " Seeking GPS Satellites" is there for a reason. If seeking, you will not get a fix on your position. If it says " GPS Active(xx which is the number of satellites) you are golden.

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] digitallysick:
I have the same problem, I think the gps on the phone is assisted gps and not real gps.

It always says I am where the tower is, when I am not
[HD2 General] arthurbrownleeiv:
Uh, no.

On google maps or bing, the HD2 will pinpoint what room of the house I am in within 20 seconds of starting up. If I disable the cellular radio (so AGPS would NOT work) it will usually only take 35-45 seconds to find me, but still find me with pin point accuracy.

So obviously:

The GPS works FINE.

It is NOT only AGPS.
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Digitallysick,

Make sure you are using GPS for Google Maps.

1) Open Google Maps

2) Goto Menu on the bottom right

3) Goto Options

Turn On GPS

4) Goto GPS Settings, Set to "Managed By Windows"

Once outside or where GPS Satellites can be received, shows GPS Active(xx number of satellites), click the little blue dot on the bottom right. You are set

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] digitallysick:
found it, its set and working thanks
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Digitallysick,

You are welcome. Glad I could help.

I like using Google maps on my HD2.

Thank you,

No US maps for the HD2 yet (come on TOMTOM)

[HD2 General] a_ok2me:
Picked up a new HD2 and GPS works almost fine inside and out - within 10m. But, it does not have my direction correct. I assume it needs me to move some distance to calculate my direction.

Sometimes I just want to charge my HD2 when I connect it to my lapstop usb.

Is that possible to make? 1 Active sync 2 Filetransfer 3 Internett sharing and 4 Charging.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
if i want to just charge my phone but still use it ie i still want access to the storage card to move some files round or whatever, i disable ActiveSync on the pc and connect in that mode. it charges with no other connectivity.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
well - before there was micro-usb I had a cable which just powered - no data pins connected

although you might not want to carry around an extra cable - but at my workpc I liked this option (thinking of building an adapter...)

one infor which might help: on my stock T-Mob Ger Rom (1.43) thre is a 4th option (see screenshot)

when used pc connects to '\__TFAT_HIDDEN_ROOT_DIR__' which contains spritebackup-setup-files

AND (this is the info useful to you)

I am still able to browse the storage card on my device

so perhaps this option can be imported or the 4th entry hijacked to be set as 'charging'

(I actually have not checked where these files are - but they can't be on the storage card so this functionality has to be somewhere within the ROM)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kaospiloten:
Nice. Its not a big deal but sometimes I would like to connect my HD2 without starting activesync, file transfer..... Just charge the phone and use it at the same time. It would be nice to have someone make a small cab..... :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] schmeichler:
I will be glad to help if someone tells me what to look for ;)

Although I guess porting the functionality to a ROM which might not have this hidden partition would probably not be the best of ideas...
[HD2 General] carlowise:
hy

I need help pleeeeease

someone with skills to reedit this cab for network settings wap and mms,

with new one not much different but compatibile for wm 6.5 this one is for wm 6.0 and dowsnt work.

THANX

[/ATTACH]
[HD2 General] cgrec92:
i can't help with the cab so while you're waiting i'll just suggest that the connection setup should do this for you.

settings -> all settings -> connections -> connection setup
[HD2 General] carlowise:
thanx

but this is a problem, because connection setup has this old settings and not working, thats the reason why I want to change this cab because mms works only when I delete this automatic settings and start over with manual.

I shall mail this cab to my operator if you can change it. maybe they will upload it to network automatic setting.

Thanx
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
seems strange that the cab would have an .exe file in it. Plus of course it was put together 4/5 years ago, and the max OS version is 4.21

Chances of it working on your phone are slim, even if they do change the xml settings to match your mms settings,
