I have noticed most people are having problems using htcsense.com with the HTC Desire HD and I am no different. They appear to be upgrading there server but why is it taking months? as people have been having problems for months now.

I sent htc an email about htcsense.com and this is the response I had

"Over the past few months HTC has been undertaking an upgrade to HTCSense.com in order to enhance the web experience for our customers, extend service availability and increase service quality and uptime. During this upgrade process some people may experience some fluctuation in the services and we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. We are implementing an update in the next month that should minimize most service problems. Currently, accounts have these main features: find my phone, call and message forwarding and lock and erase my phone. Over the next few months as we complete the upgrade, more features will be added into accounts. We appreciate your patience and support as we work to make the HTCSense.com experience even better."

Read this

Effectively, it is still a beta service from the sounds of it. Services like that require a lot of testing, and the best way to test it is by releasing it to everyone. Massive load on servers, means they can upgrade/tune it as needed.
[Desire HD General] gamesmachine:
Mine says that its not enabled on my phone and it gives you the relevant steps to enable, but it is all active on the phone, is this down to this server issue/upgrade issue? I'm not to bothered but be nice to know the service is there (and working) if god forbid it got lost or stolen.

Anyhow thanks for the information.

I'm using my HTC DHD in Poland and having the same problem, would appreciate any advisw from anyone...

thanks
[Desire HD General] Martin5000:
I had that problem too after I started using custom ROMs. Fortunately I found out that if I deleted the account on the phone aswell as on the website (htcsense.com) and used the phone to create it again, then it works. Try that :)

[Desire HD General] theh0g:
It used to work for me the first time, now my phone is not found anymore and no action works. The only thing I keep getting is that anoying "Friends - contacts matches" crap that doesn't even work right. I'm using stock rom, not rooted or aything. Also country selection is a complete fail since not all countries where HTC phones are sold are listed, so I always select UK. They really should fix this service soon.
[Desire HD General] gamesmachine:
I had to factory reset my phone to fix a CPU utilization issue, Now after re entering the HTC account info, the gps phone location bit on HTC sense does now at least show a map, but thinks I'm in Africa... admittedly I haunt used the gps to update so will try that but functions like ring phone just fail... so better :p but not great....
[Desire HD General] gamesmachine:
Hmmm now its working ok, but the gps location thing keeps coming on on its own so that's annoying so yeah try re-installing the app and or re creating the account.

I do.d the friend link thing ok, not part of HTC sense online service tho =]

Hope you sort it! Or it gets sorted!
[Desire HD General] marshy73:
I do not suggest to use htc sync. Its totally crap. Many have encountered problems and even lost data. Even htc rep admits its still a work in progress.
[Desire HD General] gamesmachine:
I totally agree, I installed it so I could transfer my contacts from Outlook onto my DHD. It just says Outlook was preventing it, but I could see nothing wrong, ended up saving the contacts out as a file and sending it over Bluetooth.

It's a shame HTC sense on the phone and the hardware is prity flawless, the pc and online software is really setting the game down.

Hopefully they sort it out with updates.

Hi

Got my Desire HD yesterday guys, I'm in Ireland. Surprise surprise HTCSense.com cannot locate my phone even though all the settings are turned on etc. I e-mailed them and got the usual about the service being upgraded yada yada!!

I read on the Teachradar review (http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/htc-desire-hd-717295/review?artc_pg=9) that this was an issue back in October as well, cannot believe its still not fixed :-(

Cheers,

M

PS: Love my Desire HD but would love to have the find my phone feature actually working too!!
[Desire HD General] kurolife:
Ok this might help you if you are having issues with htcsense.com :

First htcsense didn't pork for me on FireFox 4 hut worked perfection IE9 no idea why put must be something related to plungins

Second the location service didnt work for me despite ableing the location on my settings,well actually that was due to my HD2 running desire HD Rom and in which I used my htcsencse account. Once I removed the Android from my HD2 I reinstalled a different desire HD Rom on it without login the htcsense, the location for my desire HD worked.
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
I love the solar wind live wallpaper, and want to really show it off and display it. So, messing around with some files on the Genie Widget to get it transparent yielded some pretty nice results! Then, I moved on the the calendar widget, and there will be more to come! These should work on any 2.2 rom.... but test it out and let me know.

Directions:

Backup!

Take this apk, and push it to system/app to override the current Geniewidget.apk

Reboot, and reapply the widget to your liking

Enjoy!

News and Weather

Calendar

I did not make this, and take no credit, all credit goes to ilangoadigal, the creator. However, it's the best one I think, and I don't think I could make it any better, so here it is :)

Let me know if you enjoy these, have any requests, or would like anything else! :D

Nice work man. Some that would be really nice for me to see transparent would be the stock Power Control widget, the Messaging and Bookmarks LauncherPro widgets, and possibly transparent pandora/winamp widgets. Not sure how you'd do a winamp one, but would be cool!
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
Ah yes, power control would be good for sure ;) :D
[Epic 4G Themes] jerbeck24:
+1 on the LauncherPro widgets! Not sure how you'd do those either, but I know Mammon did it in his Bonsai 1.1.3 Themed ROM, but it was dropped in the 1.1.4 Theme of his ROM...

I would like to try these, but unsure where to "push" the apk file to. Running Truly Epic Rebirth, themed, can use File Manager, but not sure where to put these and not break the phone!!

Can you be more explicit on where exactly to drop them? Also does this remove a file, or if I don't like them, what to replace with to return? And yes, I'm backed up in Clockwork, but would rather not have to go there and reload other things.

Thanks and will push the Thanks button.;)
[Epic 4G Themes] theimpaler747:
A nandroid will be the best way to go back. You're going to move the files to system/app, and let them overwrite the files already there :)

A couple more installation questons -

To install, just open the apk, and if it says "system override" let it go?

Or do I copy, via File Manager, into system/app files? If so, do I move

anything or will it just work?

Also, have Blue Black Glass Theme, love it, so will it just make the icons

transparent and not conflict with this theme, or any other for that matter?

It would look so much slicker. And I don't know if the fact that its a paid app would matter or not, the whole app is available for free, nd the paid part is just a unlocker for it.

[Android Software Development] Sozage:
Basically I want to be on home screen 1 and click a shortcut that will take me to homescreen 2 and vise versa.

Is this possible?

Thanks.
[Android Software Development] taffypride:
you can do it with LauncherPro Plus...

Example:

<LPShortcut sdkVersion="1"
label="Screen 1"
action="android.intent.action.MAIN"
package="com.fede.launcher"
class="com.fede.launcher.Launcher"
>
<Extra type="integer" name="com.fede.launcher.extra.SCREEN" value="1" />
</LPShortcut>

Create a new txt document on the computer called screen1.lps and open with notepad, and copy that code into the new document.

Then I think you need to copy that lps file to /sdcard/lpshortcuts/ (create the dir if you need)

The above is just an example though....
[Android Software Development] Sozage:
So it is not possible to do this in ADW or ADW EX?
[Android Software Development] taffypride:
not sure....never really tried either ADW or ADW Ex
[Android Software Development] Sozage:
Thanks very much for the info. Unfortunately after using LPP for several months I recently moved everything over to ADW EX to try something new.

I hope I can find similar functionality in ADW Ex.

[Android Software Development] rbgotee784:
You can do it with ADW and ADW EX.

How can you do it with ADW ex? I dont see any function to write custom shortcuts. I've been looking all over the net to find a way to do it with ADW even using an extra app I can't find a way :(

Good to see additional people taking a stab at building a kernel. Because of work I don't have much time for developing but I'll pitch in where I can.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlevy73:
Why was this moved to Q&A. Building a kernel is development, is it not? Plus a lot more people will see it in that section versus Q&A.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtmike:
I agree and thanks jlevy73!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theimpaler747:

Another source of good information is from xda member Gr8gorilla http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=2322181

Agree about Gr8gorilla, this was the post that got me rolling: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=662110

He also answered a few PMs I sent him when I was stuck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DebauchedSloth:
Looks like about what I do. The only difference is that I do the build with:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

Which should be the same as what you are doing with your exports. But maybe worth a shot?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritcereal:
I am also having a difficult time getting a working kernel. However, I was able to fully build the kernel and did not get any error messages. This is what I did:

make ARCH=arm clean
make ARCH=arm herring_defconfig
make -j4 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-eabi-

However the resulting kernel (zImage right???) wont boot. All I've done so far is pull the kernel from AOSP.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
yes if you are just building the kernel it will be a resulting zImage that you will get.

you can then do either:

fastboot boot zimage <path to your zimage> - this will load the kernel as a one time boot, and upon the next reboot it will fall back to your original kernel.

fastboot flash zimage <path to your zimage> - this one will permanently flash the kernel to your phone.

the first option is very useful when developing your kernel and testing for issues etc.

BTW anyone who gets the kernel to build for the S, maybe play around with the batt driver and see if any optimizations are possible? just a thought.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritcereal:
I tried that it resulted in more of the same :( The command I entered was (note I did not rename the output file, didn't seem necessary):

fastboot boot zimage zImage [note, the second zImage being my kernel]

I also tried which seems more appropriate:

fastboot boot zImage

Seems like I missed something during compiling?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritcereal:
Well I got my kernel to boot after a few varied attempts. I feel slightly stupid now, but it was a lot more simple that I imagined to be. Fastboot boot (or flash) expects a boot.img, not the kernel itself. Once I built a boot.img with my kernel it worked fine!

So now onto figuring out how to customize it!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
i should have said the second zImage must be the exact path to where your zimage is on your computer hard drive, AND it is case sensitive, so you must type zImage and not zimage.

anyway all you have to do if you want to edit the kernel is i'm sure you pulled down all the code on your ubuntu machine, just go find the driver/file you want to tweak, change the code, re-compile and flash that zimage and see. i've literally gone thru 75 zimages in one night just tweaking and flashing over and over till i got something that worked. brick my phone be damned, i didnt care! i attempted to load anything on my phone, withnand backups just in case...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritcereal:
I tried doing it with the proper case on the zimage hence I had done:

fastboot boot zimage ./zImage

And it just wouldn't boot. It kept telling me it received boot.img lol so I don't know what I'm still missing :(
