I never figured out to sync correctly with Exchange...

I recently installed "improved email" and it workday better. Not perfect but better!

Sometime it out of sync for hours and sometime well synchronized. Cannot really understand. However I can always send email. I use it also to sync calendar but never tried for contacts.

Give it a try its free.

Hope it helps.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Audette:
Hi Guys,

just wondering, does anyone have a desire Z on orange UK? I was wondering if the phones are sent out with orange software etc rather than plain android operating system? I know the older phones orange used to brand them by not just the sticker but also their software...

Also are the phones normally simlocked?

One more thing - how has your experiance been in orange network? I have seen some complaints as to getting internet can be slow etc... Not sure if this is the right place to ask but would like to know...

I am planning to move to a desire z on orange - currently got a htc touch hd on O2.

Thanks for your help!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Orange as a network are not too bad, and are getting slowly better again.

Their phones will be sim locked, and also while locked you won't be able to install any new radio firmware on your phone (they just won't work).

They have been known to use their own launcher lately, however sense will still be installed so you can swap to htc's stock launcher, not sure on what they are doing with the Z though.

I have an unbranded unlocked z and running on orange, the signal is fantastic.
[G2 and Desire Z General] matt_not_andrew:
I got mine from Mobiles.co.uk and all their handsets are supposed to be unlocked and unbranded. Mine is definately unbranded but haven't tested if it's unlocked.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Do Orange even sell the DZ ? I can see the DHD on their website, so I guess there's a good chance the DZ is following behind.

Remember that coverage can vary greatly, depending on where you are. See if you can borrow a phone from someone you know who has Orange, to test the signal out in your area. Or get a free pay-as-you-go SIM from Orange to test out the signal before you commit. Orange and T-Mobile are merging, so their coverage should improve through that.

Orange is terrible where I am and Vodafone is good, but if I moved somewhere else it could easily be the other way round.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
Well Orange and T-Mobile have/are merging so they will have the best coverage in the country come March.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
Well, if they both had dodgy coverage in a particular area, then with the merger they'll still have dodgy coverage there. So I'm not sure it's that simple ?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Lennyuk:
how many places in the country don't get either signal though? only places right in the sticks would fail to get a signal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
You'd be suprised. For example, in my house the Orange and T-Mobile signals are bad (had them before), but Vodafone is fine. Similarly a friend's house in a different part of the country has the same issue (Vodafone isn't that great there, but a lot better than the Orange/T-Mobile signals).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Audette:
Orange vs T-Mobile

Thanks guys... well I was planning to get the phone from CPW - like mentioned it is not offered directly from orange.

T mobile has good offers for the phone as well... but have read that when getting the phone from places like CPW, they cap the speed of data which has me concerned. Otherwise their 1GB allowance is definitely more attractive to try out.

hmm anyone has got any experiance of T-mob data speeds?
[G2 and Desire Z General] salemfox:
I am currently on ORange in Dundee with a Pro2, data and voice been fine almost anywhere in the city (3G loses a bit when I'm in the middle of my house but it IS a new build so the attic is extra thick for insulation. However I noticed that when I set up the T-Mobile/Orange roaming a few weeks ago, it picks up a strong T-Mobile signal in the places it couldn't before. Now I have taken out a Desire Z via MobilePhonesDirect.co.uk on T-Mobile and I'm still using the Orange SIM in the Desire until my contract runs out come February and it's given me no problems. Simply roams to T-Mobile in several consistent blackspots... Once the T-Mobile 3G can be used on Orange it'll be even better!

Hello

I just happen to have upgraded to desireZ with cpw, and im on orange uk. Internet speed is fine (when u get H connection). In london though its pretty much everywhere :)

Whats best with orange is fact that they joined with t_mob and now the coverage is even better, although 3G will only start after Xmas :S...

Otherwise, phone is brill, but Im still getting used to android (used to be winmo for past 3 years...)

Hope this helps

[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
I also upgraded via CPW, it's worth pointing out that 90% of their phones are sim unlocked and unbranded;)

Am currently on TMob and with the recent merge Tmob/orange you have the option to jump network when reception is crap, at the moment it's only 2g tho:(
[G2 and Desire Z General] Audette:
What do you think of the data speeds on T-mobile network? Do you experiance it to be slow??
[G2 and Desire Z General] Audette:
Am gonna be moving from Win Mo as well... so not even sure how much data usage I might need per month on android!!!!

Do you find that 500MB is sufficient for your use?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
I've not done a speed test yet nor experienced any slowness, only when there's bad reception.

To be honest I'm not sure, am on unlimited web n talk (internet) which works out to be 3gig for an extra fiver a month. I think with these types of phones you'd be better off with unlimited if you can get it:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] wolek76:
Is 500mb enough?

Well, I used to be on 500 for 18 months, and only once went over when my landline i-net was down due to BT. But now with the upgrade Ive gone for 1gig, and Im glad I did. This market thing is so much bigger than msofts winmo! Also, fone seems so much snappier with inet, utube,msn... I will deffo go over 500/month.

Just realized I havent installed skype yet...

Is 1gig gonna be enough...??? :)

sent from htc desire Z
[G2 and Desire Z General] Stea1thmode:
There's an app on market called NetCounter which shows your data usage, might be worth using that to help monitor data.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stiscooby:
Im currently on Orange (contract now expired) and also looking to upgrade to a Desire Z with Orange (currently using HTC Touch HD).

I'm going to call Orange direct first and see what I can get. If they still don't do the Z then I might get it through Phones4U, on Orange, as they are offering the Z for free on a 24 month contract @ £25 pm which seems quite good.

Phones4U can also do upgrades so I have sent them a request to see if they can offer anything better than the £25 pm contract.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] rushless:
Perhaps just as well, at least with the previous firmware and mapping. Skyfire seems to be the culprit for a few of my sudden shutdown and reboot into boot-loops problems when trying to use it.

Issue went away when I removed Skyfire (had an Titanium BU). I did not try it with TnT 2.0. Maybe better luck now.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TommyHD2:
Ok i have had a few versions on Android running now but seem to have the same issue with every one, which is ramdomly loosing data connection although it is showing that it has. My question is has it got anything to do with the WM ROM and Radio etc im Running or is it going to be the Android Build.

I have

ChuckyRom WWE

Radio 2.15.50.14

No android on there at the Mo as I have just formatted the card I did have Mdeejay Evo Sense v.23 Revolution

Can you help ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
If you have had all PPP builds (which I suspect you have), these data drops are normal. There are ways to improve stability, look around in the development section and your build thread, or switch to an RMNET build if you really want a stable (but slower) connection. If you're on RMNET already, you'll need someone more advanced to help you but your build's thread would be a good starting point.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TommyHD2:
Ok cheers, are my ROM and Radio ok as far as you know ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
The ROM and Radio is ok. In the android dev section you'll find this wrapper. Try it out. And I recommend you to use hastarin 8.5 kernel. Seems to improve the connection stability again.

Edit: Hastarin 8.5

WiFi issues

I have issues connecting to WiFi even in the same room as router is, on open networks in coffe shops and hotels.

It's very weird, I get the message that the password is incorrect, or the network unreachable.

I actually dont recall that have one case of successed WiFi connection, I think this is very strange!

Any advices how to improve phone's sensibility, where is Antenna placed?

thanks in advance,

[HD7 General] Planetneo:
I have been having the same problem. I noticed turning off my data connection completely actually helped some. It seem like the HD7 will try to connect through whatever connection is strongest.
[HD7 General] jasonsharp:
can anyone test different Radios, see which one get better wifi reception.

I tested mine just next to my laptop, while my laptop reach last 2 bars, my HD7 disconnected sometimes.
[HD7 General] L337Ware:
Wifi reception.

I get pretty good WiFi reception I had to find a specific channel in a congested area i.e. my house but that was router side. I use my phone on WiFi at my house upstairs through a few walls with little issue. It gets the same level if reception as my iPad. Not really a great example there. While alot can effect WiFi reception you guys may have a legit hardware issue.
[HD7 General] adamelphick:
Same issue here. My HD2 could connect to my router anywhere in my house - however I move to another room now and the HD7 has real problems as the signal is showing as weak! I know it's not weak as my netbook and old HD2 still have no problems at all.. let's hope a radio update will sort it pout.
[HD7 General] Rouz.:
same issue here
[HD7 General] Mr. Jibe:
I also encounter big problems with wifi.

At my place I can connect with my laptop and any previous phone I owned to my wifi from my bedroom, but not with my HTC HD7. When I'm in the same room I have nog issues at all.

At my parents place my phone doesn't like the wifi, I am not able to connect to the wifi even in the same room. Other phones are not having issues with the wifi.
[HD7 General] Davek30:
Same issue on my EVO, i only have a 20 ft range on my wifi now. Not sure what happened but it really bums me out not being able to fix it.
[HD7 General] Gargantuantua:
I am also having this same problem with my EVO. Started not long ago and I have no idea why or how to fix it. :mad: no wifi really sucks
[HD7 General] baaaaaaaaaah:
I have the exact same problem ever since I bought my HTC HD7S.

WiFi range is horrible regardless of the OS I'm on.

I just updated it to 7.8 and it is exactly the same.

I sent it in to HTC and they said they'd charge me 160 USD to fix it, the phone only cost 99 USD no contract, no fees, but carrier locked of course so it's not worth it.

I did drop it on the floor in Oakland, would any of you with this issue have done the same?

Would that be why my WiFi is so horrible?

What could I do to fix this, replace the WiFi chip inside the phone?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] ailon:
Hi,

Does anyone know if any of the 3.5mm wired headsets with at least an answer button would work with Optimus 7? Winter is coming and it would suck to have to take out the phone and take off gloves just to answer a call.

I've just tried the one from Samsung Galaxy S and the phone didn't respond to the answer button on it. :(

Thanks,

Alan.

Update: I feel really stupid but I didn't notice neatly designed answer button. It's there. Problem solved.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Commander Data:
Hmmm... My Optimus 7 came with a wired headset that works really well (with an answer button that doubles as a play/pause button). But I am in Canada, so it might just be a Canadian thing. Where are you at?
[Optimus 7 Accessories] Sledgeman:
Mine also came with a button and i live in Sweden. It should be the same everywhere.

Sony MW600 with W3 Westone's

I picked up a Sony MW600 Bluetooth headset dongle. It's about the size of a double A battery and has an LED screen which tells you the number calling, allows you to connect 3 bluetooth device simultaneously, has volume control, and has a play, pause, next, and back button for use with media... it sounds better with my Westone W3's plugged into it then plugged into the phone! It seems to only be available in eBay - I can't find it in stores in NA at all... do a search on it... fantastic product - worth every dime I paid (like $50 bucks)
[Optimus 7 Accessories] tgtbtu:
I can only agree with you, multipoint works just great (I´m Jusing 4 devices...) oh and btw the soundquality is great (could be better, indeed but at this size..)

Is it fully compatible with Optimus 7?

My original headset broke down and i'm looking for something new.

Actually I have a problem in defining what is compatible with the optimus 7 (or WP7) and what is not.

I had a pair of Apple in ear (3 buttons + mic) and the mic doesn't work, while the central button does. Any other solution i thought about has 3 buttons and i'm not sure it will work. I don't like risk, too, and I don't want to pay 80€ for something i'm not sure it work.

So this Sony MW600 appeared to me as a nice solution and relatively cheap. I'm just willing to know if it works properly.

Thankyou in advance.
[Optimus 7 Accessories] slimshady322:
I just found a new Mango feature with the original (and possibly other) headset:

I don't really know if this is a new Mango feature but as far as I can recall it did not work before.

You can use the button on the mic to control music playback. This is how it worked before Mango:

1 tap: play/pause

2 taps: next track

3 taps: restart track

After the mango update, three taps go back to the previous track if you do it right after the track started playing.

If you already are in the middle of a track, three taps will restart the track.

Really a useful feature in my opinion.

Greetings all.

Someone is offering me a Desire which basically has the following fault:

It gets stuck at a black HTC logo screen with 4 triangles in each corner. He says this happened because of a custom ROM he tried to flash to it. He further says, and I quote "but now i cannot reflash it as it needs a GOLD CARD and as i cannot connect it to my laptop to create a gold card".

He's offering it to me at a quite low price - obviously the question is - can it be fixed? I know there's a load of information missing here, but is it worth a try? What sort of questions should I be asking?

Any advice/help much appreciated.

With this set up right now you have to choose reinstall packages and it will boot into the clockwork recovery screen. From there select advanced and then wipe battery.
