[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raizm:
Hi guys

I have a problem with synchronizing my mails on my HD2.

I use a live.de-account for collecting all my mails from different providers - so far it works.

But then I wanted to sync those mails on my device. I was a bit suprised that the windows live program always showed up and took over the mail-setup from the inbuild-mailclient in windows mobile to itself.

The first synchronization worked but that was last week -.-.

The windows live program seems connected to the internet and my accountsettings are working (it can show my firstname) but when I want to sync it an error occured "e-mail login failed.please try it later".

I'm not so into this technique but I tried deleting and re-installing/configuring the mail setup. I downloaded the windows live software again (from market place).

I even wrote a support mail to windows but the answers was pretty much the same as in this thread.

As far as I understand the manual it's just synchronizing with outlook on my computer.

But I don't want a) Outlook and b)active-sync (= usb connection to my own computer).

I want a synchronization on the move with wlan or umts but nothing seems to work.

So actually I'm looking for a trick to configure my mail account without windows live software or some help to get it working with the windows live software.

my HD2:

unbranded original

latest official rom-version from htc ( Germany: 3.14.407.2)

Vodafone Germany

windows live software 10.7.0059.0600.1000
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex fung:
The thread there is correct. Which method are you really using? Do you set up hotmail as an exchange server as in the thread, or are you using the live client?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raizm:
Sorry,but I'm not so into this.

Exchange Server?

In HTC Sense is a mail program and I use that.But when I want to configure a new account it automatically redirects my to windows live. I think windows live intercepts the setup and overtakes it because of the @live.de -ending. If i use other providers - everythings working fine without windows live.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex fung:
There are two ways to connect to hotmail (aka live mail). The old method is to use the Live mobile, an application that allows you to access several live features. You get mails when you check mail, like POP3. The new method (I think it was released last year) is to use push mail. Configure it as it you have an exchange server, and set the parameters according to the link. New mails will immediately appear on your mobile. Both method should work. With push mail, you don't need to install the live mobile application and you don't need to explicitly check mail.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raizm:
Ah.

alright,it's working...:D

sorry but I don't saw any connection between push mail and exchange server..

Ok,now I could deinstall windows live?

It's not necessary any more,right?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex fung:
Correct. If you are setting up push mail (it uses Exchange Sync protocol so that's why you configure hotmail as exchange), then you no longer needs the Live client (unless you want other features, such as Messenger).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peerkepoep:
Hi Raizm and Alex,

OK ! The pushmail settings worked perfect for my with HD2 > Outlook > Hotmail settings. (with link settings) THANKS !! I tested this with a kind of 'Spam hotmail account' NOW i have a problem. I cannot change my spam hotmail adres to my real one. It is greyed-out in the settings ?!!! Also tried new account in windows live messenger but alas, still no change (possible) in my userID field....

Thanks very much in advance !!!

Peter

YESSSS FOUND IT, PFFFF

This is a tricky one. You have to go to the activeync !!! (Default Windows menu >> Extra)

There Menu > Options and then delete "Microsoft Exchange Items" with delete button.

THEN you can create a new Exchange account within outlook.

Thought I let you all know.

Thanks anyway
[Fascinate General] martyr2k6:
So yesterday I flashed to the most recent version of froyo on the fascinate, and now my market won't update to the current version and style, but still will be usable... Long press on the "search" soft key doesn't do anything but have the same effect as single press, and, not that this is an issue, but I want the new halo bootscreen w/sound that was posted a few days ago on the main portal to xda.

Aside from that, I would also like some recommendations on some apps/widgets I can use for contacts, calendar and bookmarks... I used to use launcher pro plus and the cool widgets it had, but now I'm using adw launcher ex, which I'm in love with...

if anyone is able to address these issues with me, I'd be eternally greatful as it would complete my user experience and customization of my android device.

Thanks in advance to everyone who helps!
[Fascinate General] Soulchaer:
menu>settings>Applications>manage apps>Market>Clear data>clear cache. then reopen market..that should fix it
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Long press on search does nothing on mine unless I tie it to something.
[Fascinate General] martyr2k6:
Thanks, that fixed it! I really appreciate the info.
[Fascinate General] martyr2k6:
And how do I go about doing that?
[Fascinate Android Development] dhoard:
This fixes long press on the search button to launch Google Voice search.

This is based on the EB01 stock deodexed ROM.

This has been integrated into the ASOP lock, power options and accurate battery zip posted by Domush ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948722 )

Note: I have noticed that the ASOP lock screen is used, but on an incoming call, the puzzle lock screen is used ... I didn't make any changes in this area, so I'm not sure if that is standard for the AOSP patch.

Thanks to Domush for the AOSP lock / power options / accurate battery patch !!!

[Fascinate Android Development] Jmjohnson1717:
Thanks for this. And yes puzzle lock for incoming calls is normal

Also just wanted to note that the long press of the search key is working again after flashing this. Using ADW ex. This hasn't worked for some time now and I'm not sure when it started working again if it was this zip or EB01. It always worked with touchwiz but not ADW.so another plus.

Using the stock deodexed EB01 and ADW.
[Fascinate Android Development] theraptscallion:
Using this is the only way I can get long search to work with EB01 or DL30. On eclair, ADW broke long press, but other launchers worked just fine.

Note to those considering: This will overwrite your current theme, detheming the status bar (clock, batt, etc.) and lockscreen. The notifications & stuff stay the same, and you can now long-press to bring up google search.
[Fascinate Android Development] adrynalyne:
You know I posted and thanked you for this earlier....wonder which mod nuked my post, and why...
[Fascinate Android Development] nsmal24:
Would it be possible to get this same mod with the puzzle lockscreen?

Thanks for all your hard work!

I get this message at random times in my notification area. What does this mean?

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bugity:
Do you currently have an SD card inserted? because with my sd card out even if i did not just remove it i will sometimes get that message. i havnt had any issues that go hand in hand with this message so it may not be a big problem but if you do infact have a card inserted and you are getting that message i would start by trying a different sd card in the slot and see if it reproduces the same message.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
Im a new nexus s owner, and produ of it. i did notice that my phone wouldnt switch from umts to hspa during a large data load (heavy browsing, youtube, speedtest).

Im running the latest nightly (cm7 36 i think) and the awesome vmax bionix kernel (i miss linda the robotic voice from my vibrant days, cmon team whiskey bring her back man!)

Anyways, i decided to take a peek at the build.prop file and i noticed it was missing a few things.

I added a few things, and although your mileage may vary; i was finally able to hit 4-5mb download speeds about 60% of the time with a beastly 2mb upload speed. before this mod i was hitting 1.5-2.2mb download and about 600-800mb upload.

just

adb pull /system/build.prop

open the build file with a text editor and add these lined of code:

(just copy and paste)

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

ro.ril.hep=1

ro.ril.enable.dtm=1

ro.ril.hsdpa.category=8

ro.ril.enable.a53=1

ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1

ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295

ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449

ro.ril.hsupa.category=6

Then save the file. Type in the following two lines:

adb remount (hit enter)

adb push build.prop /system/build.prop

this also fixed the bloody crashing market too btw!!!!!

go ahead and reboot. i had to reboot two times btw, dunno why but it didnt work right at first.

please go ahead and post your before and after results!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
hehehe... that setup made my data speed worse. maxed out at 800kbps :eek:

i deleted all but the first two lines, then changed the second line to..

and then data speed was improved :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jerrycycle:
These added lines where in the original cm7 alpha build.prop. i have a little speed increase with 3 & 12
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
I heard, sadly they're gone now

Tried gprs 10 but got slower speeds. Went back to 12
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morfy50:
I just tried the OP's settings on my Nexus One and they did make a difference. I'm usually around 1.x down but I just pulled 2.5-2.7 mbps in multiple tests.

Up speeds are a bit faster but not by much.

Using CM7 nightly build 38.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brownmonkey:
Thanks for this... Could someone please explain what the different settings mean...I am having this issue where sometimes (even though I have full reception) when people phone it goes straight through to voicemail and i have a feeling its to do with the internet on the phone, so perhaps fiddling with the above settings may help solve my problem...

Thanks in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nousdefions7sfg:
I also changed the second line back to =10 not 12. I also left all the other lines of text. Speed has gone from 1.5 down and 648 up to 4.5 down and 2.5 up. Thanx a bunch.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brmayhem:
Holy crap I'm now getting (in average) 3.5 down whereas I used to get 2.5. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mshanahan:
I added the first 2 lines of text.

Changed the 12 to 10.

Went from 1.8 to 2.5 down ( average) Up went from 1.5 to 2.5 ( Average)

Top speed went from 2mbps to 3 down.

now trying the config.

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

Wow! 3.6 mbps down!

Average around 3 down

up stayed around the same as before. topping out at 2.5.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaker.the.skater:
is there a specific spot I have to put this in? or can I just put it at the very end?

edit: I put it at the end and it worked. was averaging 3.4 down and 1.75 up before. I'm still getting the same upload speeds but that doesn't really bother me. I am however getting about a 4.5 average for download now! thanks for the tip! im on stock 2.3.2 by the way.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
seems like its working, will have to test for a couple more days but its looking good so far.

why is this in Q&A? not sure. thanks for the bump
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykphuah:
Is there an explanation somewhere (even link to the source?) about these parameters?

I am constantly being 3g disconnected but I don't remember that happening to my previous phone (HTC Magic) with the same provider. Maybe I need to pull out both build.prop and compare.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] distortedloop:
I found quite a bit of threads with just a quick google search. This seems to be the most specific/thorough, from the cyanogen forums. What's interesting is that the thread there says the guy found it on xda, but no link, and I didn't see it here, but I didn't look that hard:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atrevino19:
Im tried this running on the stock 3.2.3 never modified. I did see a bump from about 2 to 5 down but only for the fist 2 or 3 min or so because the internet just stopped working and the phone would freez on me. i copied the original file back and the phone worked perfect again but i went back to about 2 down. i then tried changing the 2nd line from 12 to 10 and the down speed jumped from 2 to about 4 but again only for the first 2 or 3 min and the phone started freezing again... the upload speed didn't go over 200mb on either by the way... i followed the steps one by one and did everything right... has anyone else had this problem and if yes have you found a fix???
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aria807:
I tried the ro.ril.gprsclass=10 and 12 and I don't really notice any difference. I think reception sucks in general in a 30+ floor building at work and when I'm home, I seem to be in a crappy reception area too. My reception dbm is usually -90 to -97 and ASU 8-10. I never really see my UMTS change to HSDPA even after the change.

Is there any way to reduce speakerphone volume below the lowest setting?

When i get an incoming call i turn the tab upaide down to use as a phone. The speakerphone is too loud even on its lowest setting.

this seems like something that could easily be incorporated onto a rom.

There is a thread for increasing the volume - you can follow those instructions, but use lower values.

Theres a pattern unlock problem? Lol haha I use a modded widget locker anyway, this honeycomb flashable was out of boredom.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Formiak:
Can somebody post the screen of this lockscreen?
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Formiak:
I couldn't stand and installed. Well it looks quite good but it's only changed graphics. The method of unlocking doesn't changed.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] djdevine2:
I found if you flash this then flash the pattern unlock fix it will work fine.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kevin2516:
Of course the method of unlocking doesn't change, its not like I can just port the honeycomb lock screen. You can change the default style though to rotary or whatever.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] kunioleboss72:
It's possible for Nightly 62?? Thx
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Formiak:
The easiest method to do the same as in 3.0 is to do Galaxy S lockscreen for example in Lockbot pro.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Formiak:
Will somebody port it under build #11?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Here's that I wanted to do:

1/ Using a non-sense Android (in my case HyperDroidGBXv4.0 but will work with others)

2/ NOT using any online service (no Gmail, no google, no exchange)

3/ NOT using csv (I wanted to keep contact pictures...)

4/ Keeping a backup of my contact (but not in outlook, you'll understand why later)

5/ Synching my agenda with Outlook 2010.

In some other words, exactly what you can do with sense build + HTC Sync

My setup:

Win 7 x64

Outlook 2010 x32

DAMO 8.0.2 IF6

Lotus 8 Server (on a server... not on my laptop of course)

How to proceed on your comp:

a/ Install HTC Sync or Android SDK to get the driver for the phone's USB.

If you find it, you can also install the driver directly (open the HTCSync package and get the driver)

b/ Install my Phone Explorer (other equivalent soft exist but this one was good for me and free)

How to proceed on your phone (you need a google account empty/fresh)

I/ install android (or reset to factory setting or other...)

II/ with nothing in the phone (if you have somethingit may be send to google later) log to your google account

III/ go in parameter account&sync

IV/ untick all the sync for agenda and contact (you can leave Gmail exxcept if you want to sync your mails also)

V/ install MyPhoneExplorer on your phone (market ok, you have an account)

Voila!!!! connect to your computer, sync with MyPhoneExplorer.

Don't forget to configure the sync. I sync my contact with MPE only and my agenda with Outlook.

I do like this as I manage my agenda with outlook (accept company Lotus meetings) but just need to keep a backup of my personal contact. My company has an LDAP I can access from the phone (via iNotes Ulite).

I know it seems easy (limit stupid) but I assure you that I spent time to find it and I never find this info anywhere. Some know, I'm sure, but noone post it.

You can adapt this to your personal needs. It's a good way to keep company/professional info on your phone without sending it to the Americans (kidding but a company will never allow you to send confidential info at Google).

Hope this will help some of you. If my explanations are not clear just post your questions.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Mistake 1

If you didn't create the google account, it will not initialize the contact and agenda on the phone.

You can launch the sync (it will report no error), but you will not see anything on your phone.

Agenda: empty, if you relaunch the sync, it will resynch... with same result.

Contact: on the phone but anyway not visible in "Contact".

You will see the contact name in the "calls log" only, maybe in the sms (don't remember).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] annoyingmosquito:
Solved

Thanks for the setup. I removed all personal settings and now it works.

Looks like i synced before the setup of a google-account.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
You're welcome. I spent a long time to find this... :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ephestione:
Just subscribed to this thread; as a HD2 owner who plans to get a newer device in the future (better if a phone-capable tablet - Tab 2?), but still wants to keep this phone as long as possible, I was looking at Android as a future day-by-day OS, since I'm still on a WM 6.5.5 custom rom.

Other than several objections to Android generally speaking, which I will not be discussing in this post anyway, there is one which, in my opinion, is the main, killer reason why I absolutely do not want to use Android: I don't want my own personal data to be managed in anyway by google.

I didn't know MyPhoneExplorer was able to actually sync via USB the PIM data with several desktop apps, most notably Thunderbird (both contacts and agenda), I only tested Android on SD for a very short matter of time and never delved into it very much, was just astonished at the massive volume of free games in the market :p

Anyway, MyPhoneExplorer needs wine to run under Ubuntu (will sync to thunderbird work in that case?), and anyway, to get 100% of your PIM data from WM to Android the most conservative way still seems to be to pass through a GMail account, while I would like my phone to have no relationship with google, like, at all, excluding the market, for which it is apparently necessary.

I must say that thanks to your guide I am one step closer to seeing android as a day by day OS, yet there are these few details missing:

1) fully syncing under linux without passing through google (apparently solved: http://www.fjsoft.at/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5835 )

2) moving the whole of your data from WM to Android (maybe syncing to outlook from WM in windows, then into android via myphoneexplorer... but I don't use outlook anyway and I wouldn't like to have to :rolleyes:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Regarding question 1... I can't help you cause I need Outlook to connect to Lotus Notes server... I have many apps I need for my job and I'm not sure yet to have it under Linux (at least I'm sure DAMO doesn't exist for Linux... so it's finish for me).

But I can help on point 2 :D

It could be boring but it works well.

Go on the "sprite backup" website.

They offer for free:

Sprite migrate which give the ability to transfer ALL your PIM data from WM to Android.

BUT it doesn't work with AOSP (or at least I can't make it work).

So ou have first to load a Sense build or Android NOT AOSP.

When you have your data in Android, you can either use my post to offline sync with Outlook or MPE.

Then you load the AOSP build and sync again.

Alternative solution, when your data are in Android, use another app to backup every thing (an app compatible with AOPS), load your AOSP build and restore.

If you don't use an AOSP build... it's straight and easy.

If my answer is not clear, just ask for clarification.

PS: I think spritebackup is not compatible with AOSP because I use HyperDroidGBXv4.0 so I assume it will be the same will all AOSP. I never tested with other AOSP build, maybe it's specific to the one I have.

If you use a sense build, HTCSense manage the sync with Outlook in native. No need to apply my post, no need to create or log a google account. It's the easiest way... but it take much more space inyour NAND (400Mo vs 120Mo). Then you don't have a lot of free space on an European HD2 (the 512 one).
