I'm sorry you're having problems! I've had an opposite experience - better battery and more stable. Check the forum for battery saving advice... the best of which is turn off automatic backlight!;)
[HD2 General] 10332007:
Mine got more stable as well with the update, my battery lasted about a day of pretty good usage so I wont complain. Light usage is about a day and a half / 2 days tops.

My only complaint is the less sensitive screen.
[HD2 General] The36thChamber:
well i read that an update got pulled about a week ago and thats when i got my phone, but i talked to tmobile and they said they have put it back up so im goin to update as soon as i get a chance.
[HD2 General] kiladubz:
only reason it was pulled from the official upgrade site was lack of bandwidth....it's back up now and for those of you who are running stock roms, i HIGHLY suggest upgrading it will increase the device stability considerably, also it will fix some reception issues. overall highly recommended.

Hey!

First post on the forums, this seems like a place where i might find the information i require regarding this, we will see.

Im looking for an MSN messenger application that wont disconnect my other clients that are logged into the same account. (My htpc, gamer pc and work pc are all running MSN simultaneously)

I have tried a few from the Market and they all log out my computer clients when i start them.

The reason i want this is because im only using wifi on my Desire, so whenever i move out of wifi coverage i loose my connection and suddenly im not available on MSN. I know there is offline messaging etc but thats another story..

Thanks for reading and please do let me know if there is any MSN app on market that will let me do this!
[Desire General] JCLB:
As far as I know, even advanced desktop unofficial clients as Pidgin doesn't support this feature, official msn for winMO also disconnects you.

This is only supported by official Microsoft desktop products, you won't find elsewhere than on XP/Vista/7/2008-server :(
[Desire General] sruon:
I'd pay some good money for such feature. :(
[Desire General] nem_no:
Oh bugger :(

I guess this is one secret MS wont let go. Would be nice if others could use this functionality also tho..

Hello,

I am not sure if this is the right forum where to ask this kind of question, so pls tolerate me :)

I've got my new HTC Desire and found out that among the keyboard layouts it offers by default, none of them contains the special accented characters I need. I installed HTC_IME keyboard in hope that it's rich configurability will let me also to configure the extended character list that opens up when you push&hold a key. But unfortunately it does not.

So, I figure, I'd be better of to create totally fresh language configuration that could be installed on the device and then activated. Maybe someone can suggest me how to do it?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnten:
if I buy the evo on ebay can I keep my old plan or do I have to change to an everything plan. If I just register the phone online how can they make me change plans
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenjRubenstein:
You have to change to an Everything Plan. It won't let you register the ESN online for your account unless you change plans.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notoriouspyro:
If you really want to see, try buying an instinct, Pre/Pixi, hero, moment or BB Curve/Bold online and keep your existing plan. The system will automatically advise you that you MUST switch to a compatable plan to use the device. There is no way that you can add a phone like that on an older plan. The only acceptable plan will be either the Everything Data or the Simply Everything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entropism:
Because the plans are tied to the serial numbers. Try to activate a serial number that requires a certain plan, and it WILL change you over.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnten:
thanks you for the info. now I have an expensive decision to make
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelforge5684:
I'd like to piggyback on the OP's question. I already have an everything plan (Hero user). I've seen some good deals on used EVOs (clean esn), and have three questions:

1) How hard is it to activate an EVO from home for use on my existing plan, and

2) Is sprint's device checking specific enough to see that I'm on the Evo instead of a different smartphone and force me into the everything + $10 plan?

3) Assume 1 and 2 work out the way I want, when 4G comes to my market, will sprint be able to see my device using 4G and charge me extra for it?

As a side note, if they decide to pressure me into the +$10 i'll probably go with it anyway, but at this point I'm not in my upgrade window and have no intention of paying full list price for an EVO via the sprint store/Radio Shack. I was planning to buy an evo upon return from my last deployment, but went with Hero because of the arbitrary $10/month, but at this point i'm over it and suffering from chronic evo-envy. Thanks in advance for any useful input.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rugedraw:
1) Not hard at all, but you have to call Sprint and give them the info from the new phone. They are going to know it is an Evo right away.

2) Yes; even if you could activate it without calling Sprint, they would know your ESN belongs to an Evo.

3) No; the $10 fee inlcudes 4G access.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
Its really easy to activate it at home. I got mine through Amazon about 2 weeks after it debuted and set it up no problem. I think I had to do it over the phone, but its pretty easy. Just follow the instructions after you turn it on.

It does know. When I activated my Evo, it appeared on my Account right away as an Evo and the $10 addon automatically appeared on my next bill.

Since the second one won't work, I guess number three doesn't need an answer. Hope that helps. I had Evo envy after the first time I saw it in a store (the day it came out) Bought it through Amazon for full price and now my fiancé uses my Hero as a wifi hotspot. Definitely worth the switch if you can afford it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelforge5684:
Thanks for the help folks.
[Touch2 General] jennan88:
Hey guys,

I bought the Mega over the Tattoo because I like how Microsoft products are highly customisable, and after fiddling around with Windows OSes for years I known there's always a way to make them run better.

My Mega's performance in day to day tasks is not good, in my opinion. It lags when I try to swipe from one side to the other in TouchFlo, it takes up to ten seconds to give me a missed call notification, the Answer Call slider ALWAYS lags, there's a delay in deploying the on screen keyboard when it is selected and numerous other annoying speed problems.

Has anybody else encountered these kinds of issues? Has anybody found a way to make the phone operate at a reasonable pace in day to day tasks?

Just so you know, I'm using a stock ROM but would consider flashing to a new one if that improved speed. I've hardly installed anything on the phone either so its basically running as-is from out of the box

Thanks,

Jennan
[Touch2 General] Frank C:
Hello, there are a few things you can do:

1 Soft reset (for sure done)

2 Install tweak programs like advanced configuration tools, Diamond tweak to improve performance and adapt settings

3 Do hard reset (make back-up first)

Succes
[Touch2 General] jennan88:
So nobody else encounters performance problems with the Touch2?
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
I am happy with it mate, no lag, its fast for me :) Hard reset is your friend
[Touch2 General] Gothik:
Yes. lagy bit*h this is. but have to live with it.
[Touch2 General] bizon69:
Try this tweak

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\ResProxy\ShareMemSize=0 (Increase free memory)
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
Try SK Tools (or may be there is some free software I am unaware of :confused:), and go to notification queues select mark duplicates and then delete everything that was marked. This drastically improves the performance (atleast in my case it does ;) ).

Another thing you can try is in Advanced config tool, set the file system filter cache to 8 MB and Glyph cache to 64 KB. See if that helps.

Best of luck
[Touch2 General] naveenbhatia:
You can try the clearTemp application to remove any temp data which is also responsible for making the device slow.

Have any of you heard of this?

forum.androidcentral.com/droid-incredible/12215-htc-mail-memory-leak-bug-phone-storage-getting-low.html?highlight=mail

androidforums.com/support-troubleshooting-incredible/80143-htc-mail-memory-leak-bug-phone-storage-getting-low.html?highlight=phone+storage+low

I had to deal with this yesterday, reset my phone to factory defaults. No matter what I did, the Phone Storage Low error message would not go away. My HTC Mail app was telling me it was using over 100 MB in storage. No SMS or Email could be sent/received, no application run and just Force Close, and nothing could be downloaded. Eventually, the phone just kept rebooting when I tried to run programs. So, I found those threads, reset the phone, and all works again.

I can't post links, so you guys can peruse those two forums for what I'm talking about. You guys are the pros at developing, so I thought I'd ask someone at xda.
[Droid Incredible General] jlss:
Same problem. Ended up doing a factory reset and restored everything BUT, for my Exch acct, I purchased the Moxier Mail app. It's superb. Great integration, calendaring, etc. Easy config. All the goodies.

I still use the HTC Mail app, however, for 1 POP3 and 1 IMAP accounts, but have lowered the per-message download size and have set download to just get the past 3 days (at the bottom you can always grab more if needed.) In my business I'm responding immediately to mail, then filing or deleting it, so 3 days works for me.

Ultimately though it seems that there's a monster memory leak (a la DW Horizon magnitude leak) in HTC Mail. Hopefully we'll see a patch, though I must say that a week into Moxier I don't think I'll be switching away from it for Exch. And oh, multiple Exch accts on the Sense UI would be nice at some point, too. Just sayin'
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
My expereince:

I was up to 30+ MB and getting concerned so I deleted EVERYTHING in HTC mail (including emptying the trash folder). So there is NO data for this app to do anything with except basic setup info. Still had 26 MB in the app. Deleted the mail account. Still have 26 MB. Can't get rid of it.

Stopped using it and have been using K9 (free) for about 10 days. Took a little getting used to, but I like it.

And just ran across this: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/google/is-your-droid-incredible-low-on-disk-space/2163?tag=nl.e539
[Droid Incredible General] kntdookoo:
Just got this message this morning. To my surprise found that same article on ZDNet. I have maybe 5 apps installed..But yes, im using HTC mail.

Guess its a memory leak of some sort. I use this phone for work and probably get 50-100 emails a day. I did however get the message to disappear by going to my TRASH folder in my HTC mail and deleting the 500 or so messages in there.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
Had phone more than a month now and have not had this issue. I only use HTC mail for exchange and use K-9 for all my other pop, imap accounts except gmail which I use for that.

I was greatly disappointed in Moxier in that it didn't have some of the basic features found in HTC Mail, messed up their widgets by putting their name in the title of each one, etc... For the price, simply didn't think it was worth the money and I got the impression they had no desire to fix or improve it. they don't even have a decent trial version to really get a handle on what it could possibly do or work arounds for the apparent lack of basic features.

touchdown was a no-go the first day as it has serious display issues on the DI.

However, I've not had any problems with HTC mail yet... get 100-160 messages a day.
[Droid Incredible General] kntdookoo:
Yea, I have had my phone since 1st day of release. Never had a problem until this morning. So weird. Maybe I will try K-9 as my work email is setup POP.
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
After seeing a couple threads on this I'm wondering if the simple fix is to use a 3-day download setting (or less) in HTC mail.
[Droid Incredible General] kntdookoo:
That is what i used from day one with HTC Mail. So, dont think that theory will work. I actually factory reset the phone last night and am going to try HTC Mail again with all the same settings but not use the widget.
[Droid Incredible General] drPheta:
Yeah, ever since I had that first message and had to reset to factory defaults I've left my settings default (except for 100KB messages).

Mail size limit: 100kb

Download Feq: 15 minutes

Download Past mail: 3days

My HTC Mail is still only using around 4MB, and it's been two weeks since that episode.
[Droid Incredible General] krelvinaz:
I've had my phone since Apr 28th and never have had the issue. I only had it set to 10kb, as arrives and 3 days, and I only used it for Exchange mail. All my pop accounts are on K9 and gmail is on gmail.

Over the weekend, I found out about the working version of touchdown for the dinc and started playing with it on Friday. Went ahead and bought it Sunday after beating it up a bit. There are enough features in it that makes it worth the coin.

Glad I didn't run into this issue, but might have over time.
[Droid Incredible General] fasst9602:
I got the message a month after getting the phone. I had it set to save all emails and it basically bricked it and had to do a hard reset. It was stuck looping between the Verizon boot and the Incredible screen. A week later it did it again and Verizon told me I had too many emails and changed it to only hold 3 days worth. Worked for a couple weeks and the message came back yet again...This time Verizon thought maybe I had a defective phone and sent me a new one. So far a week with ALL emails saved and no issues, but I'm not holding my breath.

3 days worth of emails is kinda pointless for me...:mad::rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible General] rensmooth:
Memory issues

I started seeing memory issues as described here today, first it was affecting DL from Market, late in theday I could not open texts.

I do NOT use HTC mail. But I did notice that my Contacts Storage was over 95 meg big. Probably a lil too big. Probably thumbnail/facebook integration? Anyhow I reformated phone storage, and then cleared data on contacts, now it is down to 2 meg. I re-DL contacts from Verizon sync

Not sure what this means, I love the Incredible, but can't stand bugginess... And Droid 2 comes out today...

Anyone else seen this behavior that was NOT part of the mail program?
[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
So far I haven't seen this. (knock on wood) Then again I don't use HTC Mail either. I like to keep things slimmed down since I had that Moto Q with the shrinking memory. :eek: Yeah! The slimmer things got with that the smaller my storage got. Hopefully this will be fixed before I ever see the problem.
[Desire General] samac92:
If you go to a website with an embedded youtube video, the video won't show up unless you have flash lite turned on, which is awful quality.

Now afaik on other android phones, and indeed the iphone, if you go to a website with embedded youtube videos they show up in h.264 format, without the need for flash. Why has HTC disabled this? (or am I missing something)
[Desire General] th3:
Let me try this again in a while (on YouTube) but I have definitely watched flash vids within the browser many times (not on YouTube that I recall though). Poor quality at best, very grainy.

I haven't tried playing YouTube directly within the browser to date simply because I like it opening in the YouTube app better (I get the option to choose this).

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
you're missing something.

most phones get redirected to m.youtube.com

some sites are still using flash 9, which flashlite can play.

if a site is using flash 10, then you're ****ed because flash 10 is only in beta and only on 2.2
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
It's probably the Flash Lite plugin and the normal Youtube plugin (like on other Android phones) don't work well together and HTC disabled the normal plugin.

You probably have to find a way to remove Flash Lite completely.

Or maybe you wait until there's a Froyo ROM available within a few days/weeks or so and flash this, to get the full Flash 10.1, which should work much better than Flash Lite.
[Desire General] Nickedynick:
I'm assuming the normal plugin is where it redirects YouTube URLs to the YouTube app? Because that's the most frustrating part about this flaw!
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
Yes normal is the redirection to the Youtube app.
[Desire General] samac92:
It sounds like even with flash 10.1 you can only get to watch the h.264 version if you load that flash video, then double tap on it to bring up the youtube player.

I would prefer it to load the h.264 video by default, because it's always going to perform better than flash, no matter how hard adobe tries.
[Desire General] th3:
YouTube embedded vids are an exception for me in so far as not playing embedded, many other site vids are doing so in decent quality (as relative as that is). Indeed, tricking the browser and YouTube to think it's a Desktop or iPhone accessing it is simple as well as showing the Desktop view, but then, you'll just see a black area where the vid would be with a message by shockwave that "this type of content is not supported". It won't play which is odd for me due to other site vids at higher quality that do play.

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] th3:
Doing such a tap provokes the browser to give me the option of either playing the vid using the YouTube app or using HTC Flash app.

[Desire General] pascanu:
Just use a different browser (Dolphin for example). The default browser (htc modified) does not allow it.

Suggestion:

Go to www.youtube.com/html5 and signup.

Make sure you're signed in on youtube.com on your mobile.

Try it now.
[Desire General] th3:
I use Xscope and Dolphin... they don't allow such embedded video through browser viewing on YouTube.

[Desire General] Nickedynick:
I could, but I don't really want to install another browser just to watch YouTube videos when I happen to come across one.
[Desire General] Dunbad:
I think by loading skyfire is the only way you could view most videos in the way in which you say. But also the iphone cannot load videos from within its browser, only from its dedicated you tube player, and that has restrictions like nit being able to download to twitter or facebook etc. Some people are saying though that skyfire doesnt work fire them. Works a treat for me and plays 90 percent of videos that I stumble across.
[Desire General] samac92:
You can on the iPhone, the videos show u exactly where thy are embedded, nd then you tap them and they play.

Its stupid because so many websites use h.264 video now, which android does support, yet we can't watch them.
[Desire General] al89nut:
Not sure I follow.

I go to YouTube (the proper site) on the HTC browser, I tap on a video, it loads and plays. What am I doing right?
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
It is that simple actually.

The thing is videos are played in a Flash player, instead of the Youtube app. Some people want to have it play in the Youtube app.
[Desire General] th3:
The issue here is samac92 wanting YouTube videos to play embedded in the browser like his iPhone did, without using flash, which they don't. I have no issue with the default actions.

-------------------------------------

- Sent via my HTC Desire -
[Desire General] shaundalglish:
Embedded in the browser? The iPhone can't do that.

You can change the Youtube site to see the HTML5 version. You can do that on the Desire, I guess you can also do it on the iPhone. But that's with the Youtube site itself.
[Desire General] th3:
Then it's likely that I misunderstood what he is saying.

What exactly changes if using HTML5 in the context of the video itself?

The stock vids the Flash app plays on YouTube are in FLV mostly, right? But when you download those vids, it offers the H.264 MP4 files. Does HTML5 allow the better H.264 MP4 vid file to be played in the YouTube app through streaming?
