[G2 and Desire Z General] Duppsko:
The OTA fixed all my sync-issues as well, allthough I managed to fix some of my calendar sync problems even before the OTA upgrade..

Have you tried the "category trick" as described in this post?

If that doesn't help, try doing this:

1. In Outlook (on your PC), export your calendar to a backup file (just in case)

2. Empty your "Deleted Items"-folder in Outlook.

2. Still in Outlook, open your calendar and switch to list view (View -> Current View -> All Appointments)

3. Select all appointments and delete! (they'll end up in the deleted items-folder)

4. Now sync your phone.. Calendar sync should work without any errors basically because there are no appointments to sync!

(4. If it doesn't and you still have calendar items on your phone; delete these manually from the phone.. Might be a good idea to "clear data" in Settings - Applications - All Applications - Calendar storage)

5. Back in outlook, restore your appointments bit by bit.. Start off by restoring the first item starting with the letter A. Sync your phone. Hopefully the phone will sync just fine.. If it does, continue with even more appointments, eg. all appointments starting with the letters A-C or so... Sync your phone again.. If you're still all good, then continue this process untill all items are restored..

Now the clue to this process is to identify if there are any faulty calendar items that makes the exchange sync to stop.. In my case, using this "elimination method", I found that one of my appointments with "endless" recurrency caused the syncing to fail.. All I had to do was to delete that item, and create a new one..

Hopefully this will fix your problems.. Give it a shot and let me know how things worked out!

Duppsko,

Thanks a lot for the hints. Tried all that but to no avail. Besides, my previous Desire (not the Desire Z) syncs perfectly against my E14 account. The Desire runs AS 12.1, the Z runs AS 12.1 as well... :confused:

The Desire runs 2.29.405.2 firmware (Android 2.2), the Z runs 1.72.405.2 (Android 2.2.1).

I'm lost now :(

I have battled all of this...its got way too many variables and unless your IT guy has a hardon for android its just going to be up to you and microsoft.

My solution was to sync outlook calendar and contacts to google...and then use google calendar on your phone. Its like using google as the fixit.

Its a workaround but its clean and completely seamless.

I'm assuming I can't get the OTA upgrade if I'm running the Modaco ROM?
[G2 and Desire Z General] rodolgo:
What product/software do you use for the OL/Google sync?

Thanks!

Happy new year.

Rod
[G2 and Desire Z General] mickliq:
BTW, installing the Virtuous ROM (which is based on the OTA update) resolves the Exchange 2010 issue. So happy, I'm back on stock HTC Mail!
[G2 and Desire Z General] rodolgo:
Solved!

So, I followed the instructions from :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670830

by assigning then removing a fake category to all Outlook calendar entries, and then, by miracle, calendar sync works!!!

I hope it will stick !

[G2 and Desire Z General] Mnemoch:
Anyone on Desire Z 1.82 knows if this is now working?

I am on Exchange 2007 but will migrate to 2010 (from 4smartphone.net) if this works...which I am hoping it does now!!! Really can't afford to switch and then find out it doesn't as I can't switch back...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasesavestheday:
i need to exchange the phone due to random shutdowns. it was a gift and the original buyer cant find the receipt. i do have all boxes etc.

also when i use odin3 to return back to stock, how can i install all att bloatware?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
The odin one click that reverts to stock will install all bloatware. As for returning without a receipt - it depends where you bought it and what their policy is. Same with warranty exchange.

Pick up the phone and call the store and see what they say. If the buyer put it on a credit card, then you should have a statment that shows it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pkley:
The one-click stock does restore everything including bloatware but it does NOT do a master clear. See the Master Clear thread for the dial string to make sure there's no trace of Voodoo or anything...

*here it is...*

Power off phone and remove SIM and microSD (if applicable). Power phone back on. Tap Phone. Dial *2767*3855#

If you're exchanging it at the store, who knows. They may run the IMEI and figure out if it was purchased within 30 days. Otherwise you may have to go thru Warranty like I did and they overnighted two phones now at no cost to me. First had the shutdown problem and was a refurb, this one is new and no issues yet!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasesavestheday:
its been well over 30 days, so id have to do the warranty thing. this is a hassle!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Just install 2.1 stock. It will install all u want. Don't forget to do a factory reset after u install to wipe out all ur data.

And no, u don't need a receipt. Just take ur phone to the warranty service. They'll take care of the rest
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Even if its over 30 days, but within the warranty period, u cud go to att warranty store, n get it replaced on the spot. No mailings needed. I got mine the same way.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasesavestheday:
a warranty store eh? how do i locate one?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
Call your nearesr att store and ask them where is the closest att warranty center, it should be within 20 miles range
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasesavestheday:
i called the warranty dept and they never asked about where/when it was purchased. as long as your imei numbers match, and it wasnt dropped in water.
[EVO 4G General] jickey:
So my screen problems that I posted about over in Q&A finally got so bad that something had to be done. I stopped in Best Buy and they told me "Sprint Store - sorry..." - but yesterday was Sunday and the Sprint Store wasn't open. I'm leaving for Orlando Wednesday and too busy to travel an hour from home to go to one this week, so I decided to call in to Sprint.

The rep that I got on the phone told me I had to go to a Sprint store OR call HTC so they could deal with the warranty issues - Sprint only works a 30 day warranty, anything after that has to be dealt with by HTC. Umm, really? First time I've heard of that. What about TEP? Sure, I'll transfer you, they can take your hundred bucks, and send you a new one. Told her that the hundred bucks was less than it would cost me to take off work and travel to a Sprint store, but it was still a crappy way to treat customers. She coolly informed me that those were my only options, then asked if I wanted to speak to her supervisor. I initially didn't, because I figured the supervisor was reading the same script. She then had the nerve to ask me to rate her high on the customer service survey and tell them that she had resolved my issue, at which point I informed her that she had done NOTHING to resolve my issue. She immediately put a supervisor on.

John, the supervisor immediately told me that he would transfer me over to technical support and they would ship me a phone overnight. He did, and after describing my issues, they had no problems doing it. My new Evo should arrive just in time to get charged up and taken to Disney World.

Moral of the story - don't take no for an answer with Sprint's front line customer service.
[EVO 4G General] kybeck55:
i almost had a very similar story almost the same but i had to do it for my mother cuz they were feeding her all this junk i finally got to a floor supervisor and had a new phone on the way, and the first guy i talked to tried to tell me about the 30 day junk and i told him that my mom runs her business of her phone and he wanted me/my mom to go 5 days without a phone... but after i was off with the supervisor i had one coming the next day, which made me feel great.... 3 days later i asked my mom if she had got the new phone and she said no... we called sprint and fedex and they said we had signed for it and it was at my house,,,, so finally after hours on the phone a lady shows up on my front door with a package that was the phone... the dropped it off 3 blocks away and if the nice lady didnt want to return it we would have been screwed.. so she gave us the phone and of course it wasnt anyones fault at fedex when they always ask for a signature and for some reason they said this package didn't need one... just make sure u have tracking number and document who and when you talked to the people at sprint....
[EVO 4G General] jickey:
It's all good now - UPS delivered it this morning, I rooted it and installed Myn's Warm Two Point Two at lunch, and I'm right back to my normal happy EVO existence - just in time to take my family to Disney World tomorrow!
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
A majority of the people working at Sprint are a bunch of retards. I work for AT&T so I know all the lingo and I laugh at the stupid things that come out of their mouth that they expect me to believe.
[EVO 4G General] cdogthejedi:
Any time I've hade issues with any of my phones on my plan their first response is "You have insurance, we'll use that to get you a replacement." I'm sorry that is NOT ok. When the issue is a known flaw it should be replaced w/o having to pay for it. Now if it's my fault then fine.

[Desire HD General] Sherwood1:
Guys im just wondering if anyone tried need for speed on the desire HD? Any hiccups with the GPU?

Ive read that the gpu is the most powerfull right now over the galaxy s?
[Desire HD General] Dyonas:
It's my understanding that the Desire Z / G2 got the more powerful GPU in the deal along with the keyboard, the Desire HD got higher factory clocked CPU, more RAM and a powerful GPU too but not as powerful. That's just how I saw it when reading through specs and reviews.
[Desire HD General] daijoubu:
That is wrong bro. Both the DZ/G2 and the DHD have the same GPU, which is the Adreno 205.
[Desire HD General] quarintus:
I've been reading about a lot, and I think the future has to show what GPU is better.

Why? It's also very software depending.

I think when only looking to the GPU, the samsung en de desire Z are at the same level.

But when looking at the overal performance and hardware, the desire HD will outperform the others. The benchmarks show.

I know the galaxy has improved a lot with custom ROM's, but the desire hd will too (maybe not as much).

And I do think the gaming experience on mobile phones isn't just about the GPU. At least not as much as on the desktop computers these days.

The current Desire uses a gen1 1ghz snapdragon QSD8250 with the adreno 200 GPU

The Desire Z will use the gen2 800mhz snapdragon MSM7230 with the adreno 205 GPU

The Desire HD will use the gen 2 1ghz snapdragon MSM8255 with the adreno 205 GPU.

I don't think it should not matter much in your choice of phone.
[Desire HD General] dlads:
Ello m8, i've got asphalt 5 hd, nova, need for speed, lets play golf, all of the top end games basically and i can tell you now that the desire hd has no problems playing any of them, saying that i just overclocked my desire hd's cpu to 1420 and got a quadrant score of 2495 so i'm probably overkilling a little bit here.

The difference between the DHD, SGSs gpus are quite slight if any. I'm happy with my oc'd DHD tho. :D
[Desire HD General] SupremeBeaver:
Yeah the GPU is plenty powerful. I don't think there is any game for Android right now that fully utilizes all the Adreno 205's power. Im really happy with it because i plan on doing plenty of gaming on it.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
Did anyone see an improvement? And if so, how much of an improvement? I'd like to ask this now that the initial excitement has died down a little.

I honestly can't tell whether mine has improved or not. Perhaps there was a small margin of improvement but no one else can really tell. Others still tell me the in-call volume is really poor with my phone and they don't know how it could be tolerated. Thank you!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H_R_V:
Hi..

Mine didnt improve..

So bad and low quality
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karendar:
Mine actually improved somewhat, it has higher overall in call volume! Rogers X10a with Global 2.1 ROM, I also rooted and did the Optimiser V2
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lord Takyon:
I am not sure if the level is higher, perhaps a little, but the quality is vastly improved.

I can report it is much clearer on both handsets I have.

Pretty happy with 2.1 atm.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipolly:
No improvement at all still the worst phone i have ever owned as far as call quality goes !
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
Has anyone contacted SE about this after the update rolled out? I'm waiting for my carrier to release it so I can put in an official complaint. I'll try escalating to a Supervisor or Manager so they can put this through the proper escalation path so it reaches SE.

I don't know if it'll do any good for anyone else, but hopefully there will be global recognition. It may be a good way to end up with an alternative handset swap to a new device if it's deemed a known issue and can't be resolved.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Yeah.. I had a couple of calls today.. and mine was definitely clearer, will need to see how it sounds in a louder environment to really be sure..
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nocturnal310:
thanks.

i am still on 1.6..but screw it.

i am gonna go ahead sell this phone and get some other phone ..a nokia 1100 perhaps...coz i bet even that old phone sounds better
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunawan-1:
Mine is still the same.no improvement in hearing. But according to my friends. My sound is louder in otger party's phone.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
I think it's generally agreed that the call quality has improved, but the gosh darn volume hasn't. I'm hoping that with the inception of the 2.1 update that someone is able to hack this and get the sound cranked up.

It's a shame that our X10s are finally up to par with everything else but it's primary functionality is still crap. I have perfect hearing and can hardly hear anything unless there's dead silence.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zipolly:
Our X10s are still not on par with everthing else !!!! As usual we are still well behind as most phones are using froyo and soon gingerbread and good old SE have just provided Eclair !

I upgraded my phone to 2.1 and there is no improvement in quality or volume as far as i can hear but we all live in hope , its just a shame such a great phone is spoilt by such a major fault .:(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bongd:
Dang, sorry to hear about that. I was hoping that something positive may come of this but it only affirms my disappointment.

May I ask which X10 you have and from which provider? Mine is an X10a from Rogers Wireless in Canada. I'm hoping to report this to them now that the latest 2.1 FW is released under their branding so I can make an official complaint. Hopefully they'll get in touch with SE and maybe someday this will be corrected (highly doubt it though). :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] augie7107:
I do believe that the volume has increased but not exponentially by any means.

I have a HTC Aria and I can't stand more than three quarters volume because it is blaring.

The sound quality is also clearer post-update.
[Wildfire General] hbm2679:
Can anyone please tell me how to change the default android robo icon that comes up when i make a call or receive call with a custom pic of my choice.

Any app for this ?
[Wildfire General] thunderskain:
For setting it as your caller id , go to the picture you want in your gallery, select 'set as' and choose contact icon. Simple as that

For the picture when you call someone, if you have set a picture from the gallery or synced with Facebook, the picture would change to the contact's picture automatically and no change is needed.
[Wildfire General] mac4rfree:
Just to add to it, the contact should be in phone and not in sim..
[Wildfire General] kid1983:
how do i know or change where contact is because othe steps did not work still ringing with default picture thing little green man thing
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
That would involve editing that default contact caller id img in phone.apk of your rom.

You need to decompile the apk, make your changes, compile.
[Wildfire General] calyxim:
For sense roms;

Select the person from people app. on top right there is a "linked" thingy. touch that. now you'll see a picture on top left. there is an arrow right next to that picture. click on that arrow.

now select an option you wish.

What are the benefits of going do LauncherPro Plus besides the widgets?

I just downloaded it and ADW Launcher. Even though I am still using TouchWiz, I think I may be switching to LauncherPro.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchem:
Widgets and resizing apps is the only advantage nothing special but I think its worth it for the widgets. I'm currently using pro
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardyer:
The widgets are worth the small amount of money for the upgrade. Plus, you get to support a developer who is spending a lot of time coding for our enjoyment.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I prefer Launcher Pro over TW Launcher. Plus the customizations you get with the program is well worth donating for the "pro" version.

If you want to change icons or the dock you'll definitely need it. Also I like the way it changes your application window, and the custom widgets are nice.

I never used ADW Launcher since I had to udpate flash it before it was on the market. Been using LP since I got my phone and I probably won't use anything else.

Its also to support good work.

No luck with the manual update. Tried it twice. Down loaded the file, moved it to /sdcard and renamed it update.zip and also tried just "update" with no extension. When I rebooting using the instructions, I saw a message in the top box that said "preparing SD card" but then nothing happened after that.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
after loading the zip on the phone power off /

hold vol down + power/ hit power on bootloader then hit power on recovery/

at the screen with the red triangle hold vol up + power/

then do install update.zip/

wait like 5 mins and dont do anything , the phone will power itself off and like a couple of times

boom your done doesn't wipe but you might need to resetup widgets
[G2 and Desire Z General] tiger4366:
Tried that too and still no luck. I know the file's in the right place, but whenever I power up, it's not goiing into the mode where I can choose recovery. It's basically booting up normally after it says "preparing SD card". Strange. I guess I'm stuck waiting on the OTA update from tmob.

Do i unzip the file or leave it how i download the file and just rename it update

(Never Mind Figured it out my self)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tiger4366:
You leave it zipped. It doesn't download to the /sdcard root, so you have to move it then rename it to update.zip. Initially, I left off the file extension, but it was expecting it so it failed. After I added back the .zip, it worked flawlessly.

My one mistate was not holding down the keys to get into Fastboot. I was just pressing them simultaneously, not holding. After figuring that out, it was all cool.
