I've owned my HTC Mogul for 5 days and have been keeping a list of questions or issues I have about the device. Sadly it has grown and grown. I've only owned it for 5 days, so it's possible that there's a setting I missed, but I have been through the menus many times.
I have done soft resets and hard resets (two soft keys plus reset key together). No third party software.
OUTLOOK EMAIL
activesync set to "as items arrive" for peak and off peak, direct push enabled but doesn't push new
messages to the phone. I'm using an activesync server with dp.
push doesn't work even when outlook is open, have to click send/rcv to get new msg.
closest I have come is once I got notified with alarm 10 minutes after email was sent. I have sound notify enabled for new emails. Don't know why it worked this one time and not the other 99%.
no setting to "send and receive at startup", even as an option?
Oultook email has locked up twice, had to do soft reset
INTERNET EXPLORER
IE has locked up twice, had to do soft reset
SOUNDS
no option to choose which email account to enable a sound notification for? So I have to get notified for all or none (not that notification works anyway, see above)
alarms don't go off if device in sleep mode, which is most of the time?
---
MISC.
blue/yellow light flash constantly, what purpose? Is the phone also an aircraft? why so bright?
Volume on the phone is too loud, even when turned all the way down (not the speakerphone volume). I guess that's better than the reverse, but why not let it be turned down to 0?
The whole point of a volume control is so people can adjust to the volume they want. Yesterday I was on the phone with Sprint (again), I had one of those foam earplugs in my left ear, then the included headphone bud on top of that and it was _still_ to loud. I work around fans all day, a room with huge computer systems and I'm probably half deaf from it.
---
PHONE
no setting to set # of rings before it goes to VM
can't use data and voice at the same time
---
PICTURE
no way to delete a pic while viewing? as in touch and hold for a menu to pop up (like IE) or even a delete option on the menu (while the pic is open) You have to "OK" out of the pic, then remember the file name to delete from the list.
---
PROGRAMS
progs. don't actually close when you X out, they stay running in the background. Have to go through 5 taps, then manually close them. No way to change this even as an option?
---
Keyboard backlight works 10% of the time. I have unchecked the "autosensor" box. Happens in a pitch black room also.
---
EVDO
I get ~450kbps in a speed test to dslreports.com. I know that's technically in sprint's advertised window for Rev0 "400-700 Kbps" but I'm squarely in the EVDO coverage area, not on a fringe or in the boonies.
Sprint is sending me a new phone because I know the backlight issue is a defect. But some of these things are just bad design.

Rings before going to voice mail....that is a setting in your voice mail box... I don't know of ANY Sprint phone that has an "in phone" setting for that....
Closing programs, search the forum for HTC X-BUTTON 2.0.
Delete a picture while viewing in the default viewer, click and hold, then select DELETE......
Anthony thanks for your response. I just dialed vm and I did not find any option in any of the menus to set # of rings before calls go to vm.
When I tap/hold the screen while viewing a pic with default viewer, nothing happens.
I know there are third party apps so thanks for the info on x-button, but I'm going to wait for my 2nd Mogul to arrive before taking time to research and install them.
# of rings to voice mail
that is a service from your provider.... for me it's *93"#"
"#" is the number or rings.... i think it's 9... call your provider and ask them

Hi,
Whenever I tap and hold on the upper right corner of my taskbar (which drops down menu of all running programs), I always see this program Caller ID Monitor running. No matter how i close it, it just keeps on appearing after a while. But I notice that it appears after someone sends me a message or call me. What does this program do? Will it harm my system if i close it?

Nope, it will not harm your xda if you close it. I see your using Pocket Plus (the drop down menu on the close button is from Pocket Plus).
This is a general program used by the phone to show names and photo contacts when somebody calls you or text you. Note that photo contacts are for incoming calls only. This application is usually running on background always and started when you reboot.
Just quick note if you keep on closing the Caller ID Monitor application, if you do use Photo Contacts, your contacts image won't sometimes show when they call you, since you previously closed the said application it sometimes doesn't have enough time to run Caller ID to show the image (happened to me twice already).
Mabuhay
Does anyone know how to get this to work?
It can be found in Start - Settings - Phone - Advanced Tab
Mine is ticked but doesn't seem to do anything when I choose Ignore to an incoming call (i.e. the caller is not sent a text message saying the above)
Any ideas
I have wondered about this for a long time, but haven't come up with anything to make it work, sorry.
I usually disable it sooner or later, just in case.

I have unlimited text messages so charges isn't an issue for me.
All I can find is the option to send a text message when a call comes through, but nothing to automatically send a text message on an ignored call.
Hm, I think it's like this. Someone is calling you and if you wan't to ignore/reject the call, put your phone upside down on a table(with screen to the table), the call will be automatically ignored and I think THEN the message will be sent try it, not sure
I think, I have figured it out.
On an incoming call, you have the option to click on "Send text" in the lower left corner. The call is then rejected and you can compose an SMS to send to the caller.
I use an app called SMS Minder to do this myself, and I'm quite pleased with the results. You can have it respond to all missed calls/texts (select BLACKLIST & leave the field blank) or only to missed calls from certain numbers (select WHITELIST & add the numbers you want to respond to).
I've been using it for several months and it makes my work so much easier. I'm a cabdriver, and when a call comes in & doesn't get answered for whatever reason SMS Minder sends a message that says "I can't talk now, please text me".
For the longest time I didn't really trust Texting that much, but it's become an integral part of my work now. So much easier to read&reply to an SMS (10 to 15 seconds tops) than it is to dial voicemail, listen through the prompts & recital of the phonenumber, then listen to the message...and finally after all of THAT is done, then return the person's call. Texting is just that much easier.
Especially if I use a program like this to automate my responses...and a program on my desktop to send other text messages just like they were an email (it's got an interface similar to Outlook). I plug the phone into the computer & tuck it away...then any interaction I have with the phone is done by using Jeyo Mobile Companion (SMS interface with additional cool features) and/or MyMobiler (fully manipulable screen-shot of the phone's screen) on my desktop.
Of all the apps I've tried and/or discarded, these three have become almost indispensable to my work.
Use QSMS To Buddy:FullFeatured Free app from android market
Posted Android app on non Android forum by mistake. Sorry!
i believe, given the age of this thread, that it is about the native windows mobile feature to reject calls with an sms and there was no need to bump the thread with an app for another operating system. also, on android, depending on your phone and rom, this feature might also be pre-installed and available from stock, w/o the need for a 3rd party app.
Does anyone know of a good call usage monitor. I use to have Phone Dashboard but I can't add this to the HTC Homepage. The call timer in Windows Mobile only monitors all calls not just outgoing calls, as far as I can see. Any ideas

Ummm....have you checked under the call history button on the dialer? When you launch your dialer, click on the call history button. If its showing you all calls click on menu-->filter and select only outgoing calls. It should show you only outgoing calls now as well as durations for each. At least that's how it is on WM6....I don't know if they've changed if for 6.1
Nope. You can view only the duration of the calls when you open Call History and select specific person in it. Or through Contacts -> Click contact -> Menu -> View all calls.
It is very disappointing, because at least I want to know the duration of the last call. Doesn't matter if I end up the call or the other party. This dialer doesn't show last call time!
Thanks [email protected].
However, the Call History lists all the calls made or have come in via the filter. However, I want to know how many minutes a month I have used and unless I try and add all the outgoing message together, I'm stuck.
Under Call History there is a button called menu which gives the option "Call Timer" but if you click on this it gives you the total number of calls made since last hard reset (I assume) and the number of minutes used since last reset. Most people, I would think, with a contract want to know the number of outgoing minutes since last reset (with reset being since the last cut off date for calls on their contract). This appears to be missing. Can anyone help or know a program that does this that could be intergrated with the HTC homepage.

I'll second that, any way of\software for knowing how many minutes have been used in the monthly bundle?
Try Home Screen Plus
Have you guys tried Home Screen Plus? Its a great piece of software...and If I'm not mistaken it does have a feature to track call timers etc. Give it a shot. Its free Make sure you download the latest version. I know of a lot of other older versions floating around.
that is a real cool app but also a little heavy just for the calltimer. Anything with a small footprint out there?
Thanks Guys. However, I want to keep the HTC homescreen but I don't think you can add bolt ons to it, so any homescreen add-on won't work. I need a program that runs on its own that monitors the minutes and then being able to access it via the programs tab.
Found - LCMinutes
Not the easiest to configure, but once you grasp the concept it's a doddle (and elaborate).
LCMinutes :X
so i played around with LCMinutes and all it did was give me a headache! lol
i found this and wanted to share:
hxxp://www.hudsonmobile.com/products/phodash/index.html
is very very neat and a very easy to configure

I had heard it didn't work on the HD but if it does, how about sharing it on the wiki
Can anyone comment if this works with TF3D?
Call timer on Dutty´s Touch HD 2.1 is missing?
Hi there!
Anyone having problem with a missing call timer on Dutty's 2.1?
Or should I do a hard reset?
Thanks!
I am using phone dashboard which I find is very good and should suite your needs. Without Today screen it is a pain to use but still possible. Goto settings->Today then highlight the plugin and options. There is one tab which shows you the usage. But you have to "regenerate" the data before viewing.
Alternative, why dont you just run TouchFlo + Today screen (using TFD or SecondToday).
I know phoneAlarm also have a call duration tracking but phoneAlarm is just too much of hassle to configure.
LIVE TILES/HOME SCREEN:
- Power control toggles (e.g. Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, etc.)
OVERALL
- Marking/selection of any text passage, and
- Copy/paste (wtf, hasn't MS learned anything from the mistakes made by Apple...?)
ALARMS
- Display of alarm icon in the notification area of the 'home screen', when one or more alarms have been set (not ONLY on the lock screen)
PEOPLE
- Ability to save phone number in Call History or Conversations lists to existing/new contact
MEDIA PLAYER
- Sound playback in Bluetooth (+wired?) headphones when watching video content/podcasts
IE BROWSER
- Display of/access to URL in landscape mode
I agree with Copy and Paste, but have only needed it once or twice so am happy to wait until Jan or whenever they're gonna stick it in.
Hadn't noticed the ID landscape thing, but now you've pointed it out I guess they should probably sort that too (although there'd be very little view of the page by the time the keyboard and address bar are displayed in landscape mode)
You can save a number from your call history if you tap it, then at the bottom there's a save button.
The things I'd like to see fixed are:
MAPS
- Get the compass working so I can see what direction I'm walking in
INTERNET EXPLORER
- Ability to change what the search button does, and what page loads when you first start IE after switching the phone on. (T-mobile have managed to set both the homepage and the search button to point to the crappy t-mobile-favourites page, which is a bit annoying)
PICTURES
- See who's tagged in photos (either through Facebook or through Windows Live Photo Gallery)
- Ability to stop photos from Facebook showing up - these may be duplicates from what you've already put on the device
PHONE
- It would be good to have smart dialling available rather than having to go through contacts
One think really annoys me: We cannot disable vibration on back, win and search keys.
Missing Send Contact
I'm not sure if this is missing content or if I'm being too stupid to work it, but that's not my usual style so I'm assuming it's missing till someone puts me straight.
I wanted to send a contact by text (or any other method) today but can't seem to find out how to do this.
Any ideas?
I don't think theres a solution for this.
I heard someone saying before, that there is not a nice way available to send/ copy contact-data.
Bluetooth SIM Access Profile
Anyone know if the Bluetooth SIM Access Profile will be coming in the next update? New phone doesn't work with my bloody car = I feel like I've just stepped back in time
Added the following to the first post:
ALARMS
- Display of alarm icon in the notification area of the 'home screen', when one or more alarms have been set (not ONLY on the lock screen)
Sticky camera settings
CAMERA
--------
I change the settings for the camera every time I take a photo. Particularly the "anti-shaking" setting as I can't seem to take a decent photo with that off. Settings always revert to defaults. Makes you wonder why there is a "Rever to default" option!

Switch power off when charging the phone: should have the ability to switch off the phone when it is charging. It is not possible to do it now.
2G/3G toggle: The Omnia & I got from Orange doesn't have the option to toggle between 3G and 2G. It is set for 3G as default
Smart dialing: The dialer should display contacts that match the combination of letters/numbers being dialed
Tasks sync: Outlook should sync tasks in addition to Mail, Contacts and Calendar
Calendars: WP7 should sync all calendars in GMail and Hotmail. It only syncs the default calendar.
My wish list
I'd like:
Folders
Folders - want folders that I can pin items inside, ideally on both main 'Tile' screen and app list. Would really help to be able to organise apps into folders as the list is getting long already.
Volume
Would like different volume controls for Media and ringing. Would like these to be locked when the phone is locked too (unlocking the phone is no hasstle after all).
Caching/Updating
Would like apps like Facebook to cache data (only a few do this). I expect not an OS issue as some apps do it already - having them load from fresh when started is a pain as it means you need signal to look at content. I'd also like these apps to update automatically so content it there when they are opened.
Single Mailbox
Would like a single mailbox for all incoming mail.
Sim Lock
I use a Pin to protect my sim, if I miss entering this in initial boot the phone brings up a home screen but allows Emergancy calls only - getting to a point I can enter the Pin seems pointlessly difficult (seem to have to try and make a call).
Zune
Why is this so unintuitive....get rid of reserved space and clean it up. Content also seems very US centric, online (as in via the website) I can see a load more content than I can see in the app itself, presume this is due to me being in the UK.
Back and Search buttons
Allow apps to lock these buttons, lose count of how many times I have pressed these accidentally when playing a game or a video which gets really annoying.
Power button
Give me a 'do you want to shutdown' prompt, only found my phone turned off in my pocket a few times but not had it that long....the button is too easy to press accidentally and a prompt would solve a lot of these problems.

Orange provide this functionality for me by giving no 3G signal at home, would be better if I could choose to turn it on and off though...reliable 2G at home would also be good...
PEOPLE

You can do that.
Just in Call History press the phone number that want to save and then press the Save icon.
my wishlist:
1. PHONE:
- matching contacts should appear when dialling number or texting person's name
- call recording possibility would be a nice touch.
2. PEOPLE huB
- more customisation options (contacts sources sorting/hiding
3. MESSAGING:
- ability to edit MMS settings (MMS APN, default photo size, etc)
4. EMAIL/CALENDAR HUB:
- I do not like the idea of LIVE being leading account - If I add my live accoutn all the contacts and calendars are being fetched from there and synced live.
But I used to keep all my contacts and calendars at gmail - so I had to add gmail as well - that results in a big mess and you cannot turn your added LIVE account now - you might reset your phone to factory defaults and start again.
so I did and while I want my XBOX LIVE avatar I had to move all my contacts and other email providers to LIVE. I did that but now my default outlook calendar doesnt sync with LIVE calendar and WP7 calendar, and there is now ay to have it fixed...
If only MS would allow to choose what to import from LIVE it would be much better...
5. IE - no JAVA, no comment
MARKETPLACE - we need more quality software there
MAPS - I don't like bing approach, maybe I just have to get used to it ?
SERVICE AVAILABILITY - MS you need to start working hard and deliver solutions NOW!
It should not happen that only supported regions during the premiere are UK and US - your services like marketplace or zune don't work in many countries, XBOX Live is not supported in Poland, although there are tens of thousands of xbox360 sold here. I am afraid MS has to rethink their policies and this will be the main factor of WP7 success or fail.
I do not touch areas like multitasking, copy/paste and some other basics that should already be available in updates.
Just realized: Someone's actually made an app for submitting and voting for already submitted ideas for improvements to WP7. It's called "My WP7 Idea", and yes, it already contains my favourite ideas. USE IT!
... and please vote for this feature:

Thank you!

I don't like this thread being mixed wp7 and omnia specific features. wp7 features should go into the wp7 forum.
the omnia should get an app to turn on and off the led for flashlight purposes. other phones have that.

SAME FOR ME - SAP is used by VW widely in Premium Bluethooth....
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.
For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??
2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??
I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.
are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??
Cheers
Lee

I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.

hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..
must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...
Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts
hope this helps
Dickie
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone
I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
it is the right thing to do
