I think it deletes the cab.

Save the complete directory for the app under program files and just re-load that. Save any icons or .lnk files from the windows directory or windows/start menu that go with the app. Not clean, but works.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Be careful with programs which use registry entries though...
[HD2 General] Som30ne:
That's an Idea . . .

But - what if it's the office 2010 package ?

It installs itself to the windows folder, and . . .

well, backing up/restoring the windows folder after a hard-reset or rom upgrade is not a good idea.

So -

anyone knows how to get the cab ?

where is it saved during the download process ?

How to make it stay there after the installation ?

Thanks

hi guys,

is there any way that I could add custom cities in the weather/clock settings?

Thanks,

[HD2 General] Som30ne:
see this:

(Worked for me)

the city code can be obtained from the site:

accuweather.com

(select the city you want on the site, and see the code on the address bar

(where %20 is the space character))
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
yep i can confirm this program works, my loacation doesnt work where i live no idea why, you haveto install to deevice memory, go to the weather site accuaweather, search your city town etc,

when you fire the program choose your country then menu add city, choose time for exampleim GMT, then middle box write the city name, then thebottom box take mine for example is EUR|UK|UK182|GRIMSBY

you will find the code you need on the end of the website address when you have searched and clicked your city maye :D

update your weather the touch your clock and you can choose your city

I am using a Win 7, 64 bit. Just bought my Desire.

Unable to sync.

I was using HTC Hero before this, I tried the same method which I sync-ed my Hero but it does not work anymore.

I did download the latest version of HTC Sync but this HTC Sync just can't detech my phone.

Anybody there could help?
[Desire General] Cleargrey:
Does the computer (rather than the program) first detect the phone?

(D'oh question:) Is the phone in disk drive or sync mode?

I also have Win 7 64-bit. I've never used HTC Sync but I do regularly connect up to the computer for file transfer.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
HTC Sync works fine with W7 x64 (I use it) - the issue I've got is it now syncing with Outlook 2010 x64...I use my other PC with Outlook 2007 for that
[Desire General] mysteryfr:
Had a similar problem. Installed HTC sync on Win7-64 and it worked but then it stopped working after a while.

In my case I changed the USB port without noticing and constantly got a device recognition error. When I reverted to the initial USB port it just worked well again. It might also be that some device is connected to the same USB root hub and disturbs the connection, so try a different port and install the software again.

Error when I try and sync...

I have just got a Desire and when I try and sync (v 3.0.5.422) I get an empty window open with the title 'Error'.

Weird thing is that I had exactly the same thing trying to sync my previous phone, a TouchHD with Windows Mobile 6.5 using ActiveSync.

I am running Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and Office x64 2010.

As I get the same error with both ActiveSync and HTC Sync that tells me thats its a W7 issue but I have no idea what !!!

Has anyone had and more importantly, resolved this ?

Thanks

Use gsyncit 64 bit for outlook 64, it will sync outlook with google, so all my conctacts and calendar, are synced on my Desire
[Desire General] echo-man:
32bit, 64bit

It doesn't matter if you have Windows 7 32bit or 64bit. What is important, is which bit version you have on your Outlook.

Outlook 2010 32bit is supported by HTC Sync v.3.0.5422.

Outlook 2010 64bit is not.

HTC is working on a version that can communicate with Outlook 2010 x64.

The error message you got if you have Outlook 2010 x64 is:

"Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the

messaging request. Please run Microsoft Outlook and set it as the default mail

client."

That means: Current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request (It's not 32bit).

So, if you have Windows 7 x64 with Outlook x86, HTC Sync works.

--

That is not all, WinMo has the same problem. Quote from Microsoft technet site:

"Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) synchronization, WMDC does not synchronize with Microsoft Outlook 2010 if you use the 64-bit version of Outlook 2010. In such cases, an error message displays that states that there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging. WMDC synchronizes correctly with the 32-bit version of Outlook 2010. To synchronize a Windows Phone with Outlook 2010 by using Windows Mobile Device Center, uninstall Outlook 2010 64-bit. Then use the original installer that you used to obtain Outlook 2010 64-bit to install Outlook 2010 32-bit. Outlook 2010 32-bit is the default option."
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Ah I wonder if that's why I am having problems too with w7 x64 and outlook 2010 x64

2010 x32 worked fine though on w7 x64

is gsyncit free?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
The newer HTC Sync still gives a random 'error' when trying to sync contacts to outlook 2010 x64.

gsyncit sync's gmail contacts - but my gmail contacts don't sync from phone -> gmail ? is that because I am doing something wrong?

when I log in to gmail I have no contacts, but my phone has lots... I don't really want to uninstall outlook and reinstall the x32 bit if I can help it... but can't seem to find anyway to sync my contacts on my phone... anyone able to help?
[Desire General] spile:
Has the phone and email corruption issues been fixed?

Also does it work on more than one PC eg work and home?

Will continue to use MyPhoneExplorer instead of HTS until these have been sorted.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
Mailed HTC asking if HTC Sync will be able to support outlook 2010 x64 eventually and got this back:

Not sure why they didn't say that the 64bit is not supported yet first - but there we go... hopefully in a few versions time it may be working.

For now though - I think I'll downgrade to 32bit outlook so I can sync.
[Desire General] spile:
I've yet to find a free app that Syncs reliably and effectively between Outlook contacts and Google.

See:

http://forum.syncdroid.net/smf/index.php

In terms of Outlook > Android sync I can recommend MyPhoneExplorer
[Desire General] swiss420:
64bit Outlook 2010 Sync Support

Just wondering if HTC Sync v3.0.5511 still does not support Outlook 2010 64bit? Also there are two versions of HTC Sync at HTC under the Desire. HTC Sync v3.0.5511 and HTC Sync v3.0.5511 (NAM) anyone know what the difference is?

Just flashed DHD on my HD2 and cant get it to sync with 64bit Outlook 2010. Neither HTC Sync nor MyPhoneExplorer 1.8 seem to work. Am I still doing something wrong or is it still incompatible?

If I would not have gotten this Problem I would not have noticed that I installed the 64bit version. :o I guess I can just revert to 32bit Outlook 2010 somehow. I dont realy remember choosing 64bit during the installation but oh well I guess I am getting old. Or does anyone here knows of a way to make it work?
[Desire General] Lothaen:
You have to reinstall all office items to put 32 bit on. Also I think the installer tries to be intelligent
[Desire General] swiss420:
You are right had to uninstall 64bit Office completely and reinstall Office 32bit with the right installer.

most people know about the fix for the battery going flat quickly

my question is

when you go to recovery>wipe we normally wipe top 3 options

will this wipe the batterystats.bin file without selecting the 4th option

if so why are we not told to have a fully charged phone before we wipe and install new roms??

this could be the main problem with people saying this rom is a battery drainer not using this anymore!!!!!!!!

Noob question: anymore details on how we can go about doing this by using pocket mechanic?

thanks in advance.

Pocket Mechanic ? is this the only way ?

same question :-)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rayad:
I had this problem and just fixed it, didn't even use pocket mechanic

I have resco file explorer, all I simply did was move the games in the Gameloft folder on my device into Storage Card/Program Files/Gameloft

I then made copies of the shortcuts to the games and placed them in My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs/Games

And voila, it worked, and no reappearing of the huge gameloft files in My Device

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] rayad:
did u make sure you got the shortcuts right?

When you say nothing works, do you mean nothing happens at all, or does an error come up?

Nothing

Nothing happens and theres no error , and the shortcuts right
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] shajvarg:
Some gameloft games can be installed / moved to storage card. Just recreate the shortcut using tool like total commander - cecmd

[Nexus One General] justclimb:
If news are true... It will just mean that Google is just Listening to users demands...instead of crying like Steve Blow_Jobs and the bunch of outdated carriers out there.

Anyway HTC had the usb feature introduced in all its current 2.1 devices, and obviously also in the future ones namely the 4G wich anyway should be the first 2.2 sensed android in the marquet.
[Nexus One General] wmm:
That's kind of a low blow for folks selling tethering products like PdaNet and EasyTether, losing the entire market for your product like that. Of course, that's nothing new, as Microsoft put numerous thriving companies out of business by adding functionality to Windows, for instance. That's life for a software developer, though, I guess.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I wouldn't be surprised if they are confusing evo feature set for 2.2 features
[Nexus One General] DDM123:
@wmm, What about when Google Nav came out in the US? There were quite a few nav programs in the Market when it came out, and Google basically stole the US market with a free product which was orders of magnitude better than the other options out for Android.

I read somewhere that in the Android Market developer agreement that there is some clause saying "tough **** if we come out with something better than yours". Well, we're all better for it, so yay Google.

[Nexus One General] xManMythLegend:
Its the course you take as a SW developer.

Technically youre making money off an OS shortcoming. Default OS apps always get insanely more usage than downloadable apps..especially paid. So the more great features an OS has out of box the better.

BTW This is interesting as Sprint is rumored to be charging 30$ for the EVO hotspotting. Im sure carriers will be turning this off , and IMO it seems as if this may have been an additional reason Sprint/VZ/ATT werent fully behind the N1.

[Nexus One General] allofusjw:
Like everyone else I'm really excited about 2.2. One thing that I have seen no mention of though is the Google Voice/Gizmo5 integration. This is something I'd value over almost anything else that's rumored to be coming in froyo. I know there are alternatives for wifi voice, but would love to see it integrated into android by Google. I haven't read anything about this possibility in months. Did I miss something or do people just not care/forgotten/given up?
[Nexus One General] :
That's one of those things that is gonna be decoupled from the the main OS so I don't expect anything in that concern.
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
I agree with everybody else that this will be awesome. My only concern is how much of a battery killer will this be.
[Nexus One General] David Horn:
WiFi tethering will always be a battery killer. You can't really complain about the battery life when it's doing something that will, by definition, hammer the battery. My Hero couldn't charge from USB and work as a WiFi hotspot.
[Nexus One General] ChillRays:
I'm not really complaining, just curious really. I really hope we can charge and tether at the same time, only time will tell and it won't be too long till we find out. Thanks for the reply.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:

Definitely interested in what exactly is being added, upgraded, removed, etc.

It would be nice to charge and tether at the same time... :)

Oh and perhaps we'll see true WiFi draft-N finally? Or has that issue been beaten down? Don't remember hearing anything beyond the fact that the actual Broadcom chips were in the phone.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Also can't wait to see the official change's for Froyo...hopefully soon! The battery is the least of my concerns...

[Desire General] bradavon:
Relatively often I find when turning the Desire on I get a white spinning circle and the home screen has basically crashed. Most of the time this clears itself but sometimes it doesn't and I have to turn off/on the phone (* see below).

What background apps/services are known to do this? I'm pretty sure I'm killing something using Task Panel, I shouldn't be.

* I've found pressing the Search button and then accessing the People App (from the Phone option) clears the crash.

Thanks
[Desire General] foner78:
If you're allowing any process to automatically kill other processes, you're asking for trouble. First disable that, its pointless and uses more resources/battery than it saves.

If you still have an issue with the home app locking up, in my experience its usually a badly written widget. If you have any widgets on your screens that aren't "original" I would start by getting rid of them and then re-adding one-by-one over time until you find the culprit. Check the comments/reviews of them too, if they're locking up the phone people will usually comment about it on the Market.

If that still hasn't fixed it, I'm not sure what else would be locking up the home app, my next suggestion would be a hard-reset to "clean up" and go from there.
[Desire General] bradavon:
What do you mean? I use Task Panel, that kills apps/services. Is that what you mean? But I'm not using it to kill system services just :

BlueTooth share - I don't use Bluetooth, why does this still run?

Photos - HTC Photo App

Gallery - Nexus One Phto App

FM Radio

MyBackup Pro

3G Watchdog - Monitor data usage

ShopSavvy - Check prices elsewhere

Footprints - What a pointless app!

TrainTimes UK

Facebook App

These are killed when I put the phone in standby or I click Kill All.

I really don't see why most of these have to run, when I turn the phone on but there's no option to stop them doing it. I really don't need a lot of these running all the time!

I'd also think, if I kill an App and it's needed, it would just reload itself. So when the Home Screens re-loaded, it would be running again in the Task Manager but there's nothing there.

The only widget I'm using that doesn't come with the HTC Desire is the HTC Notes widget. Thanks btw.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
As foner78 has already suggested, I would try first try removing your task killer (TaskPanel) so as to eliminate it as the cause of your issue.

It is also worthwhile reading up on how Android manages processes/multitasks - good sources are here and here.

The Desire is my third Android phone, and whilst I've tried using task killers, I've come to the conclusion that leaving the OS to handle it itself is the best option.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] foner78:
This is also my second Android phone.

I would definitely recommend you read the links posted by foxmeister to get a better understanding of processes/activites/services on Android and why you don't need to play any role in killing them.

The short version is... you have nothing to gain from killing processes in this way and you do risk having problems with your phone. Right now, you DO have a problem with the home app and you are randomly killing processes. Logically it makes sense to rule this out as the cause.

Got to be worth trying, surely!? :confused:
[Desire General] bradavon:
Thanks guys.

I removed Task Panel and put on Advanced Task Killer instead. Advanced Task Killer lets you filter out system services, so you can only kill Apps. Problem fixed.
[Desire General] cgrec92:
Geez, talk about missing the point...
[Desire General] foner78:
Well I'm glad that you've got rid of the problem, though I would still urge you to stop ANY automatic process killing as that still leads to problems and has no advantage. There are many topics on here to explain why, and the links posted previously. Do yourself a favour and learn about android processes. Your understanding of processes from other systems such as Windows simply does not apply here.

Still, you can lead horse to water... :rolleyes:
[Desire General] Krpano:
The explanation from the Android devs is quite nice and help understand how it works but in reality is not always like that.

If you use any task amnager to monitor the memory usage you will notice that overtime the OS will consume a lot of the memory to the point that will render the OS slower.

What i mean is that even if Android works perfectly managing the memory we cannot say the same about the applications we install.

I've used/tested pratically all the top 100 apps for Android and a LOT of them will not work as the devs say.

I know it is not an Android problem, but still from time to time you need to kill some of those apps manually.

My opinion is to not get rid of the task manager, but just stop the auto-killing process. Then if you notice some slow down on the system, use it to check what apps are holding back memory (after you have closed them for a while).

Once you found what application is giving problems, search an alternative because the one you are using is not developped correctly.
