My mail has been updating every 15 minutes forever. However, 7: 31 A. M. was the last time Htc Mail updated within the app. Even with a manual sync. It only updates the last refresh time & doesnt show any new mail. Every other mail app works.

Things I have Done:

- Rebooted phone

- wiped cache &davlik

- Factory reset & re-flashed Rom

- Reset & tried a diff Rom

- Deleted mail account and re-added it

More Info:

- I can send mail from this Yahoo! Account

- My gmail account updates properly within htc mail

Any ideas? For now, Ive downloaded K-9 Mail & will try it out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Have you tried going to Applications management and clearing the mail apps data and or cache?

I don't know if you're restoring your apps through a backup program but it's possible it's just restoring that data/cache which [could be] causing the issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StreetGame00:
Thanx. Ive cleared the cache & data from manage applications, tried to re-enter my email and got the failed to authenticate error. Switched it from Pop to imap and it logged in but stopped at the same email.... Didnt work...

Btw... I have been using Titantium Backup to restore apps and data

OP I just ran into this exact problem...where you ever able to get it fixed?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
OP I know that its been awhile since you posted your question but I did some messing around with the setting and came up with this and it worked for me:

YAHOO IMAP

Incoming IMAP Mail ServerSetting :

User Name : user@yahoo.com

Password : your email password

Incoming Mail Server : imap.n.mail.yahoo.com

Mail Box Name : Yahoo IMAP

Mail Box Type : IMAP

Security (Port) : Off

Port : Default

Let me know if this works for you!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StreetGame00:
Sorry for the late response. I found that my problem came from restoring my mail app data with titanium. Reflash your rom & if you do a restore, uncheck the box next to Mail first & you'll avoid future problems. Hope that helps others.

I searched and could not fin so here goes.

Can the launcher from the MIUI roms be extracted as a .apk file so it can be installed on other builds

Cheers
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
I do not believe so. I think it is more like sense, integrated into the build. Do not quote me on this though.

This build gives you both MIUI and Launcher Pro.

Hi,

I have a question regarding my HTC HD2.

Whenever I go somewhere, I always save my location as a favorite on google maps.

That way, I can see where I've been and bring up memories and such.

My question is this:

Is it possible to add Photo's to a location on Google Maps, like it can in Google Earth (which

I think is not available for WM) because this way it is more fun to go to a location on your mobile. I hope you know what I mean and have the answer :).

This is a simple hack to backup all phone (everything)

you need:

space on sd

adb

start adb:

adb shell rm /sdcard/andboot/androidinstall.tgz (if present)
adb shell tar zcvpf /sdcard/andboot/androidinstall.tgz /system /data

if you want to reinstall, go to boot menu reinstall system and clean data (you can also do it with atools)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjsztainbok:
I'm running eVil D's NXSense ROM on my N1 and I've noticed that some applications are missing from the Android Market.

The ones I've found so far are:

- Moviefone (com.aol.mobile.moviefone)

- FCC Mobile Broadband Test (com.ookla.fccbroadband)

- Slacker Radio (com.slacker.radio)

- Parcels (eu.zomtec.android.delivery)

Any ideas why I wouldn't be able to access these applications?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @rj*n:
were you able to get them earlier from your region or not? The applications might not be available in your current location- if its that you can try MarketEnabler app to sort it out!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjsztainbok:
I'm not sure as I hadn't tried to installing them until after I had installed NXSense.

My phone is configured for US as far as I know.

I'll try MarketEnabler and see how it goes

Looks like that was the problem. I forgot that I'm currently using an Australian SIM so the apps weren't visible. As soon as I changed the phone to use T-Mobile US, the missing apps appeared.

I seriously dont get it, what is the real adavantage of Android??..many say Andorid is waaay better than WinMo6.5without any reason.. i for one still feel android and WinMo6.5are on the same boat .. there are NO distinctive advantages over each other.. i can find many demerits in android(atleast for me), yea there are demerits in WinMo6.5 also but in no way Android outweighs the disadvantages of WinMo6.5.

1. Android's battery management is very poor compared to WinMo6.5.

2. Android's memory management sucks BIG time, poeple say it's intelligent ... it's just kills apps whenever it needs to, basically loads all junk in memory and if it needs memory it kills low priority processes, i dont know how this is considered intelligent, why does it load all the installed apps process in the first place???.. i am even afraid to install a new app..

This is the reason for the battery drain!!!...

3. There is no TRUE multitasking, you play a game while listening to a song, in between you want to change the song, you cant do.. there is a huge possiblity that Android will just kill the game since it needs memory.

4. Theming is too static, you can only cahnge colours or images.. you cant completely change the whole interface as in WinMo6.5... every1 who is been using WinMo for some time would easily understand how great you can change the interfac of your mobile in WinMo6.5.

5. DATA Hag, for everything you have to goto market, goddamn, there are countries where 3g is not even introduced and poeple dont have unlimited plans, for everthing you need mobile internet in android.

6. Feels like it's a locked OS just like IOS and the copy cat winmo 7.

Only advantage of android over WinMo6.5 is android's got some good looking games!!!

Maybe it's just that people wanted a change and they are catching to Android , once they got bored they will come back to WinMo
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Nobody is forcing you to use android, so why are you knocking it? If you don't like it, just don't use it.

The main advantage is the active development. We are early in the life of android with version 2.2. Windows mobile 6.5 is likely to be left behind when WM7 arrives. There are also many more developers who contribute to the android market.

How can you describe an open source OS as "locked" and compare it to IOS. Open source is the polar opposite of locked.

You are wrong to say that the theme is too static and can't be changed. There are many options. Sense, ADW, Launcher Pro, and now MIUI.

Most importantly XDA developers, the long time windows mobile devs, have now embraced android.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sichroteph:
Simple question: why going back to an os wm abandoned and no longer support? You can talk about battery consumption, I have the same here, (super miui rom) and I still remember very well all the bugs and freezes I had with wm no mater what rom I choose. Remember very well too when I was so happy my phone ran 3 days without reset it. The cruel lack of applications. Ok, you can find by digging a bit an ugly wm app that do the trick, but its better to have the choice. There are so many developers here, future oriented.

Example : I decided to went to android when onenote mobile lost all my pictures inside my travel note ... Enough.

Now with the memoires app, I can take an encrypted note with picture and gps on map, backed up in sd, synchronised with google docs or export it in whatever output file I want. Happy user.

I made a silent backup too when I plug my usb cable, copying my sdcard meaning all my os and apps.

If you don't understand why people love android here you probably missed something ;-)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] depakjan:
I wonder why there are still WM 6.5.3 releases everyday.. maybe microsoft stopped supporting and these builds are just coming out of nowhere .. possible??

if the developers stopped supporting i wonder how CHT 2.0 beta came out... CHT 2,0 pawns everything.. it's so awesome.. can you imagine anything of that sort to come out for android,...

Regarding theming

What is launcher pro offereing same old page scrolling and more widgets that is all... there is no drastic change..

In WinMo i had iphone ui(page scrolling), Sense ui, Windows xp style, windows 98 style, windows 7 style.. there is this wonderful app Wisbar.. with that you could possibly get any type of UI... you cant possibly do anything like that in android

THAT IS WHY I CALL IT LOCKED, you cant possibly edit anything like you have done in WinMo

Another disadvantage i saw was, i cannot share my PC's internet connection with my phone.. there is no way to do this.. WTH man.. in WinMo it's easy as a piece of cake..

Please this is not a Android hatred or WinMo fan boyism thread... i am still trying out every new release of android and i will still continue to do the same.. all i wanted to discuss was it's Advantage over WinMo .. maybe i dont know stuffs , i wanted to learn more about android ...

i dont want any android fan service here, if you have some stuff in your head speak it or go take a hike

Some noobs just dont understand anything, just for the sake of every1 using they will use and say Android rocks, this, that... tell us what you feel as an advantage

I've installed Android on my HD2 and are using it for main, daily use OS. The reason for this is the net browsing experience. Click a flash movie and it plays. Click it again and it plays full screen. Also the overall slickness of Sense on android + swype + spotify + native gps navigation is reasons for not going back.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] THUDUK:
I like both, as you get some great applications in both.

Although Windows never looks and feels as slick as Android.

Take some like for like applications, Facebook app on WM is terrible compared to the fantastic Android version. Radiotime player knocks any radio player on WM.

the cloud sync of google is so easy and works well.

But saying that I find the Memory map navigator a must on WM, some great bird and wildlife apps, prefer the camera on WM HD2 and think Sense UI on the HD2 is a lot better than sense on Android, although saying that I like the friendsstream....

See we are so lucky to have both...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] depakjan:
yea good one dude.. i feel the same way.. people just blindly say WinMo sucks.. that is my argument.. they are in equal footing.. no way Android is better than WinMo...

Real thing is, An OS such as WinMo which came into existense some 6 or 7 years back can still hold it's uniquness and has almost all the features as that of an newly released os Android!!! ... what does android offer being it a brand new OS.. i dont get it... i can do anything android do in winmo itself... i was hoping Android to be far superior OS ... but after using it i dont feel like it AT ALL....
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rafi300:
Well the biggest drawback of winmo , is its colors! They have never released a proper 16million color screen , common, its the 22nd century .. Lol .

A phone like the calibre of HD2 could hv had amoled plus 16 million colors , and it would have rocked both worlds, WinMO and Android!

But android , simply truly is more Open Source and more developer community oriented, than winMo .

Android , is being backed by The biggest player of the market , Google , which allows full integration with google services , winMo can never hve this no mattr what one does .

Google Maps simply rocks on android !

@ zarathustrax Great job typing all that from your phone mate ;)

As for this discussion both operating systems have their advantages and disadvantages I guess its just a matter of what you want to do with the phone and how you live your life day to day.

Android offers ALOTT more social network integration as you can sync your facebook twitter and google contacts into 1 account and manage them all from 1 place. See peoples latest updates or activities without having to go from 1 program to the other. This was my personal reason for changing from WinMo as well as the widget based screens. Yes I know CHT has done a fantastic job and has a few widgets now but it cant integrate with the whole operating system, and to access the rest of sense you still need to pop up the standard sense bar. Android 3 will be bringing alot of nice new features including multitasking and better memory management.

Now I still love using WinMo. I went off HTC Sense a long time ago after the 'prettyness' apeal faded but I have always been a user of Spb Mobile Shell and have made alot of improvments and alot of themes for it and will keep developing for it on WinMo as long as its around. Unfortunately with WindowsPhone7 they arent allowing Today plugins so Spb Mobile Shell wont be availble on that platform. I dont commend Windows for that decision but I guess they are taking a leaf out of apples book and it works for apple.

To answer the OP's question (if I havent already), WinMo and Android both have very different feels and both are loved and hated by alot of people. If you want perfect social network integration with the whole OS (you just cant do that in WinMo), more widgets and apps and ALOT better games (especially ones that use the gsensor) then go for Android. If you prefer a Windows based platform where you can play around with the registry, have more business based apps and dont really play many games then go with WindowsMobile. If you want the best of both then have both :)

The only thing I dont like about Android is that I cant use TomTom and I always thought that is the best satnav app available. Ohh well I still have copilot on Android lol..

Mark.

If Windows mobile had the Android marketplace, there would be no need for Android.

The HD2 in WM can easily handle some of the fantastic Android Apps, microsoft should be hung drawn and quartered for not implementing a better marketplace, they have had the opportunity, why not keep the WM6.5 and develop the market apps..apps.....did I say it...Applications, Applications, Applications, that's where development should be
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] scottspa74:
I got an Evo cuz I'm on Sprint. I had a Diamond, (and still do), and loved it and was reluctant to stop using it, because I really came to love winmo. Android can't do anything with a .rar file, for example. (I thought it couldn't even create zips, but I was wrong).

Mostly what moved me though was the hardware. My diamond didn't come close to an Evo hardware-wise, and I was excited about the big screen.

I honestly would have preferred to get an HD2 than an Evo, but it just was not feasible for me to switch to t-mobile. I really did think about it and investigated it.

A lot of great devs on xda have picked up android though, and that has been great.

I will say, all the different UIs for android are essentially the same (as said before); swipe left/right, app drawer at bottom, etc. Winmo was/is far more customizable.

Winmo is still near and dear to me. I have gotten comfortable with android, though.

All that said, I was not able to get a winmo with the badass hardware (HD2), and since Microsoft is moving on to win phone 7 , which I want NO part of, and there will be no other winmo 6.5x phones coming available with current hardware, I went android/Evo, and had to just think of it as a big middle finger to Microsoft for their win phone 7 BS.

I'm pretty happy now thought with Android, but really poor .wma support, hard to accept.

Edit:

Oh and uploads are not supported from android browser. That kills me! Sure, you can install Opera on android, then upload via Opera browser, but Opera browser sucks on android (on winmo, it was perfect, all I used). Now in froyo, it half-ass supports uploads, but only kinda. Winmo has had upload for god-knows-how-long ?! Amazing to me Google can't fix this properly.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tidus18:
I ended up typing longer than I expected...

I get the point you are trying to make. But before you make statements like poor mem managements and batt issues, we all need to realize that all android running on our HD2 is PORTED...and its bound to have few issues till its all ironed out. about multitasking/mem management, read here (http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html) before saying android is poor in mem management. Engineers at Google would have given it a fair amount of thought... I tried using multiple apps at the same time and switching in between them without a problem. Recent builds of android lasts the whole day for me without recharging, so i dont see any BIG downside there.

No doubt WM IS still great, but the approach was completely different in almost every way. To me, its like comparing apple to oranges ; because of how it is designed to function.

When i tried android the 1st time, i didnt like it at all. But recent releases have grown on me and i like them very much even for daily use. I guess the people like me would lose out some customization/personalization PURELY because i have ZERO knowledge when it comes to linux (I used to build my own WM6.5 roms...i cant do that with android:o). Im sure things can be customized (i.e: cyanogenMod, revolution theme, etc), its just that I (and most of the people cling very hard to WM) dont know how. Also, about your point 5: you do realize you can install the apk (apps) in android offline right? HTC with sense is also same as it requires lots of data??

We have to be fair in assessing both OS here....

I am a fan of both OS.

Just think about this - Why are we so quick to dismiss something and label it as bad when the memory usage is high?? (Ie: when a app / ROM uses a lot of ram, we say its bad in management) I don't mind fully utilizing (the ram is in HD2 to be used...why not fully use it?) all available ram it it gives a better user experience with negligible increase in batt drain.

I think we/most of us are conditioned our mind to the way of WM memory management. We should be more open to new approaches and give it time to develop further!

Well...when i started typing...i didnt mean to type this long.... look how long i end up typing...this is what i think :):)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mogston:
This is the best argument for Android on HD2 - it runs well enough from the SD card and you still have the WinMo option... Now we have the best hardware and two great operating systems - one very mature, stable etc and a new exciting one!

Personally I now only really use WinMo for SatNav (TomTom) because I'm used to using it and the maps are very accurate

Google nav maps are surpisingly out of date. Damn thing tried to send me down a road that I know has been closed off for 5+ years!! And don't even try to drive around Brixton with Google you will be arrested for dangerous driving hehe
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
Here's the problem I had with winmo, one which ultimately drove me away.

Microsoft has always lacked a certain finese in their OS's that other developers dont. After you dig through the HTC sense overlay on the HD2 and start finding areas of the system that they never tweaked, you start to see the real windows coming out of its shell, and it's ugly. Old fonts, very non-finger friendly, looks more like it was meant for a stylus. Menu driven systems that work well for someone with a computer and mouse, but not at all for a touch screen device.

The way I saw it, microsoft is simply not good in the UI department. They seriously need to hire more talented people who design the look and feel of their operating systems. The whole thing just feels amatuerish. I could design a better UI. The very fact that theirs is so sloppy says that Microsoft doesnt really know what they're doing. I already feel the same way about Winmo7 btw. Once again microsoft just shows they dont have enough creativity in their bones to whip up a functionally useful and unique OS. They sure tried, but they missed the mark.

Google and apple on the other hand know exactly what they're doing. While the core OS functions and how it controls the phone might all be similar, they understand people, what people like, how people think, and what feels good on a phone. Their menu hierarchy, finger friendly options, and features offered all make sense to me. They give me and present to me what I want how I want it. You can just tell by using it that they really "get it".

Winmo just feels like some forgotten OS that was developed around the first handhelds about 10 years ago, one in which microsoft never really understood how to advance in today's mobile market. It's like they're a lost puppy, trying to figure out why the big dogs get all the meat. It's really not that hard microsoft, they're just better than you at this stuff. I mean the entire reasons the HD2 was shipped with a sense theme is because the winmo theme is so ungodly and ugly that they simply had to basically remake the whole thing to get anyone to touch it.

Totally agree with you!!!!! I have used WM for years, Apple OS for over 1 year and now Android for 1 month. I rate Android #1, Apple #2 and WM #3. I cannot believe the UI that Android and Apple have compare to the lack of UI form WM. This includes Apps, Display, Stores, etc.

Will keep WM on my HD2 but using Android all the time now.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Tech Savy:
:DWell said... I like both... The HD2 allows you to have both on your phone... No other phone allows that intergration... Hopefully when WP7 arrives we can have all three on the HD2??? I use both Android and WM on a daily basis... I've been using Android more to learn about... I like the ability to play with Android before I leap on it (need to see if I like Android first)... I can say that alot of development is moving to Android... Who knows down the road I may buy Android??? But for now I will stick to my HD2 (no phones released or will be released make me say WOW I must have it)..... Also Spb Shell 5 is taking to long to be released...... I like CHT v2 (gives you that Spb Shell ability)......:D
