Same Problem

I sync my 780 contacts on the live cloud. Then tried to sync with HD7 and it didnt work.

Then went and did a complete reset of my phone. After that with the first sync got all my contacts on HD7 super fast.

Then made some changes on the phone and wanted to check if they update on the live cloud and now phone says it cannot sync and gives error 8000618.

Has anyone facing sync issues?
[HD7 General] PJ11:
Not had any syncing problems as such and all my contacts came over to the phone OK.

I reckon the old calendar entries do not sync with the phone apart from reoccuring ones and this is just the way windows phone 7 does things as all the old calendar entries are listed on my live calendar on the internet OK.

Hopefully this might be addressed in an update soon.
[HD7 General] santoshrane:
Is urs a unlocked from 02 also? u think the unlock is a problem?
[HD7 General] PJ11:
It is from O2 but is not unlocked. I did get the unlock code from O2 but have not used it yet, may do in the future.

I do not think it is a handset problem, I reckon it is software ie. WP7
[HD7 General] PJ11:
Has anyone else managed to get all past appointments synced to HD7 handset from Windows Live Calendar?
[HD7 General] santoshrane:
yes you can get past appointments also.

just copy paste all your calendar events into live calendar.

it worked with me
[HD7 General] rjh1:
how did you do this? I cant find a way to sync them up!

Thanks, Rick :confused:
[HD7 General] Yorkshiretaff:
Having the same fight as everyone with this stupid non-syncing of Outlook that Microsoft has decided for us. Found a couple of issues that can be worked around.

Clash 1: some items not appearing in Live calendar or on phone.

Fix: Entries were repeat entries set up a long time ago. Reset entries to start today and sync'd ok (so far)

Clash 2: custom catagories caused sync errors.

Fix: Clicking 'Upgrade to Color Catagories...' in the Live account properties (in Outlook) fixed this for most entries.

Still working my way through my calendar so I'll update if I find anything else.

[HD7 General] Yorkshiretaff:
update from my post above...

I've given up again... syncing my windows phone shouldn't be this difficult. Also noticed that Live doesn't fully sync your contacts either whereas Google contacts does... so trying Google calendar next.

Syncing ok with CompanionLink 4, but 1 strange anomaly...

1. I can delete calendar entries on the phone that syncs with google and hence outlook but...

2. if I add an entry on the phone, it doesn't replicate in the google calendar.

The last time I had to faf like this to get calendar sync'ing set up was with a Palm V... I'd thought we'd moved on by now :mad:

Can anyone help please?

Those of you who already have the DHD in your hands, could someone confirm or reject the following about the GPS software?

- I've read that the software included with DHD is on a subscription basis so, you need to pay monthly or yearly fees to use it. Is it true?

- What software is included for GPS?

- Can anyone confirm if maps with street names for Cyprus are included?

- Finally, in case that the included software is either unavailable for Cyprus or the subscription is not cheap enough, could we install MLS destinator which is alerady working fine for Cyprus?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] latte33:
I don't want to bother the GPS software original come from DHD....

I rather use CoPilot.... more better...

The google GPS not really good enough compare with others GPS Apps...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t-pip:
I use Google Maps with Voice Navigation, no charges for that. There is another Nav app on the phone where the maps are there but not the voice (I think) you have to pay for the extras.

For me Google Maps are fine.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
You have to buy features for the software. Turn-by-turn navigation, speedcams, traffic info, etc. The software and maps are free.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BigMango:
2 applications are included:

1. Google Maps and you can download Google navigation (maps are not on the phone so you need a connection at all times).

2. HTC Locations. This is using the well known Route 66 software as a basis. You can download all of the country maps worldwide for free on your phone. And you can use it for free.

If you need added services, such as navigation, speedcams & traffic info you have to pay a sub.

I don't see a Cyprus map in the list, but Greece and Turkey are there, perhaps Cyprus is included in the Turkey map?

You can install any navigation sofware that works on Android.

Personally, I use Navigon.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
My friend, I appreciate your interest to help and I thank you but what you just said here is a big foul. Just think.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeBeaver:
Hey andreasy!

I live in Cyprus too, and as far as i can tell, the HTC software will NOT work in Cyprus cause there aren't Cyprus maps, which is really unfortunate.

But "iGo My Way" does, and it has a Cyprus map too. I have it on my computer here and it works on the android emulator. pm me if you need some help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
Thanks. Do you by any chance know about MLS destinator availability on Desire HD and if iGO can compare to MLS? I use it on a PNA and I am quite satisfied.

Does iGO have all the street info and POIs like MLS (ATM, Gas stations, etc?)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeBeaver:
to be honest i haven't heard of MLS. I google'd it and it looks like there is an android version so it should work with DHD.

As for iGO check your pms.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGarak:
Are there not supposed to be maps stored for the 'Maps' app already on the phone?

I was under the impression that I could use pre-loaded maps on the phone, at least thats how HTC made it sound, but it seems I need to be connected to Wi-Fi or network data to use this app, am I doing something wrong or will it only work in the 'locations' app you mentioned?

NVM caught the answer in this thread.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
There are preloaded maps for the Location app. You can download more maps for free. However it is only for Locations app. Google Maps needs internet connection to work. If you don't have data plan or in roaming, you can use Location app without any data being transfered, however your GPS fix could take longer without AGPS.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsirides:
I have the DHD in Cyprus. Google maps works and it has street names. However Google cannot give you driving instructions. It is possible to download country maps from Android market but Cyprus in not included. Basically you cannot use driving instructions in Cyprus but you can view maps and see street names.

I am not sure if MLS has released an Android version but I know that there are other GPS software you can install. I will try and find out which software works for Android and I will let you know
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
Thanks, I have been using MLS destinator 7 & 8 and I am quite satisfied with the software itself and the included POIs but the maps are outdated and no updates are provided for Cyprus.

If any of you find any good software that gets updated, let's have recommendations. I know that Garmin is the best as a software and in terms of updates for Cyprus but they have locked their software on their devices and on specific phones only so this is out of question.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boarne71:
Im using Navicom now, i did use Copilot before but i feel that Navicom is better and the voice guide have great timing now, my taste it has a better layout. Anyways im happy with it so far.

Does anybody know how much the navprog that came with the phone will cost after the 30days trail ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsirides:
What HTC is advertising is that you can preset your route from home where you have Wi-Fi and the phone will download the maps needed. When you are on the road the phoen uses the pre-downloaded maps. However if you decide to change route or go on another trip you need to use your data plan to download new maps.

Thats why its better to have a dedicated navigation program like IGO with all countrry maps pre-installed on the phone. No need to download from home or use your data plan.

In addition Google maps Navigation is not available for all countries Cyprus is one of the Countries that are not supported.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tsirides:
IGO works fine. The maps for Cyprus are of 2009.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Use the gps all the time, which works very well to be honest, i have co pilot live 8 installed (£25) works perfect, no extra bills as it comes off the data allowance you have.

Google maps is pre installed as far as i could see but compared to co pilot it fails.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhenrikj:
Press update in the Locations menu and you will get the different prices for different length of subscription. It's differs from country to country..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazultra2000:
It's frustrating that everyone tells a different version of the story. Here goes my version which I think is accurate as I actually have a DHD and have done for 3 weeks...

The phone comes preinstalled with Google Maps, and HTC Locations.

Google Maps: Downloads data as and when it needs it. Therefore for every route, you will have to download data on-the-go. It works pretty well though and has a nice enough interface. All text is TTS, so sounds a bit jerky. Will do postcode lookup.

HTC Locations: This comprises of 2 sections. 1: Maps; which is free for everything, works just like Google Maps but has the funky compass functionality. 2: Navigation; This is the SatNav part of the product. You have to pay for a license for a map, which allows you to use turn-by-turn nav. Once you have the license for your country and have downloaded the map, then you do not need to download any more data. At this point it functions exactly like a regular PND (TomTom etc). Text is pre-sampled so sounds a lot nicer (but can't read road names). It can be supplemented by live traffic and speed camera alerts, which are both extra subscriptions.

With locations, you can download as many regular maps as you like and all you pay is data connection fees (if done over 3G etc) to get them.

With the Navigation part of it, you have to pay for all of it. Nothing is free (though you do get a 30 day trial of one map)

Also the HTC app doesn't do postcode lookup, which is probably the biggest problem with it.

In my opinion, neither are really up to scratch and do not form a decent replacement for my TomTom (on my old Touch Pro2!).

I have Navigon on my phone, and that is a better solution, but the interface is quite horrible (i.e. you can't display time, arrival time and speed on the screen at the same time) and also I find that entering addresses using the on-screen keyboard doesn't really work properly (when holding the top row for a number, it doesn't work - I have to select the number section of the keyboard and press it from there).

I'm thinking of giving CoPilot a try to see if it's any cop...

I hope that helps clear things up.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreasy:
All those info are great but they would only be helpful if we lived in a large country. It's still helpful though so, thanks.

From a very thorough research I found out that no matter which is the best navigation tool, for Cyprus things will be totally different. So we only have 2 options: iGo and MLS.

They are not the best tools but they are the only ones you can use on Android and they are the only ones that have Cyprus maps (with street names and spoken instructions), even if the maps are outdated and cover only the 80% of the island.

I have MLS on a PNA so maybe I give iGO a try in order to compare.

Thanks to everyone.

Guys,

Have you guys tried to listen to some music, using the HTC Music app, while at the same time using a navigation software ??

Well, I tried that and I found out that the experience is totally crap.

When on the Gps Navigation app, a sound is produced, the sound from the HTC music app is paused!!! After the sound from the Gps Navigation ends then the music is un-paused...

This is totally, I don't know, XX Century... all my former window mobile phones were able to do this both things without any pause...

I tried 3 gps app and all them do this...

Don't know if it's HTC fault, Android fault or even from the GPS apps, but this is totally stupid...

I have to test this on my fathers X10 to see if it also happens...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetAdminCJ:
I've been having issues with the Wifi on my captivate since day one (two different devices over the span of about 2 months now). Since no updates from Samsung or AT&T have fixed it, I'm trying my own thing.

The problem I am having is that the Subnet Mask does NOT get configured properly on the eth0 interface from DHCP on a classless subnet. That is, if the Mask is 255.0.0.0 or 255.255.255.0, I have no problems, but at work my subnet mask is 255.255.252.0. The framework and DHCP report the right mask, but the interface itself always reports 255.0.0.0.

I've rooted the phone and figured out that I can manually change the mask using the ifconfig netmask command, but don't want to do that every time.

What I've been trying is creating a dhcpcd.exit-hook script that gets called by the dhcpcd-run-hooks script to check the mask and set it appropriately.

If the script ONLY sets the interface netmask to the classless mask, it works but then won't set the classful mask properly.

I've tried various if and case statement variations to fix this, but always seem to get weird syntax errors when I run them via sh. Obviously they don't work from being called from the run-hooks script.

Below is the latest code I've tried:

#!/system/bin/sh
# This script runs last, after all network configuration
# has completed. It sets a property to fix the Subnet Mask
# to use the classless mask from DHCP instead of classful.

varMask=`getprop dhcp.eth0.mask`

case "$varMask" in "255.255.255.0" )
exit
;;
esac

/system/bin/ifconfig eth0 netmask "$varMask"

exit

The error I'm getting is:

dhcpcd.exit-hook: 11: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

When I did this with an if statement, was getting a similar error, except it was asking for a then, even though there was a then in the code and the syntax was right, as far as I've been able to determine.

I am not android or linux expert, so any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Tks.

~CJ
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetAdminCJ:
I think I got it

Figures! I'd figure it out 10 mins after I asked for help!

The syntax error seems to have been casued by file formats. I originally was using wordpad and apparently android/*nix didn't like the carrige returns.

I installed and used Notepad++, saw the file format difference and coverted it.

No errors and the script appears to work as desired, though I haven't had a chance to test in on my home "classfull" network yet.

I'll update when I test things fully.

EDIT: Thought wrong! It appears to work when I manually run it, but it does not appear to be running from the dhcpcd-run-hooks script...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetAdminCJ:
Perhaps now

After rebooting the phone, it appears to be working. I've even bounced back and forth between a test network I have here on the 255.255.255.0 subnet and the production network which is 255.255.252.0.

I did have turn wifi off and on the first time I went from production to test, but it seemed to work both ways.

I'm going to continue to test from my home and other networks before I feel comfortable calling this one won.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NetAdminCJ:
Still having trouble at home. Seems to want to assign 255.255.255.255 mask on class C subnets. Hmmm.

well it sounds to me like you got the opposite of what the OTA was supposed to so, it was to improve the reboots bug and radio updates for better cell reception, the only thing I can think of is backup your data and run a factory reset on your phone and see if that brings things back to normal or improves anything, best of luck.
