Hi to all,
just a question...
I would like to see the favourites of Internet Explorer as the HD1 (with folders closed and unexpanded). Is there a way?
Thanks
Simone
Sync it via Active Sync or Mobile center

I don't want synchronize the favourites of hd2 with that of my pc because they are different...as you can see in the picture, the folder 01.router is expanded with all the items...and below there is Aggiornamenti with his items...and so on..in this case consultation is not immediate...
I wish there was a list of all folders..and after a click on one of them all the items of that folder appears..
Sorry for my english...
Sorry, i forgot the image....
There is no picture.
You can put your favourites in folders by opening the favourites list (in IE) and clickinf Menu, and Edit. Add folders in there (see "Add Folder" at the top of the list.) When you have created your folders, edit your favourites, one-by-one, putting them into the folders you wish.
There is no view where the folders are closed. It is for alphabetical categorisation of favourites. Folders are listed alphabetically, with their contents listed alphabetically. The list simply does not work how you suggest.
Hope this helps

It does actually look exactly like your pic, but the folders are always open. It would be nicer if they could close. Ah well!
HI,
I'm new to HTC and Windows mobile having come from iphone. I have a few teething problems and could do with some assistance. I have searched the forums but can't quite find the answers I'm looking for.
I've synced my Gmail account but it won't retrieve my old mail, how do I do this?
How do I find files that I have dragged on dropped into the "my documents" folder on my phone. I've dragged a folder of documents inc. word docs, excell and pdf's but I can't find them on the phone. How do I open these files using excel etc on the phone?
How do I add personal ringtones for my contacts?
I have read somewhere on here about an issue when making/receiving calls where the screen turns back on and your ear starts pressing all sorts of buttons/apps, has there been a fix for this and where do I find it as my phone has been doing this?
Cheers
I've figured out how to add personal ringtones, so that question doesn't need answering now.
to recieve old emails on your gmail account you need to change how far back you would like mail retrieved. this option can be found like this
email tab, any email account, press inbox, press menu, press tools, press options
now choose the account you want to edit
pick send/recieve schedule
now you can amend your sync settings
to assign a ring tone to a particular contact:
press start, press contacts, pick the contact you wish to edit, press menu, press edit
now find the ringtone field and add the tone you desire
As for finding editing files you should download a file explorer, total commander is popular and free
Resco explorer is better (my opinion only as its more finger friendly) but is not free
hope some of this helps

Yes, big help, many thanks. Is it possible to set your email accounts so that everytime you go into the email it automatically checks for new mail rather than going into the menus and pressing send/receive? I've figured out how to change how often it checks for new mail, ie every 15 mins etc, but I would also like it to automatically check for new mail if I go into my emails
Does anyone know about the screen coming on whilst taking a call issue?
Having more problems with Gmail. The advice above worked for my inbox, but on my googlemail on my laptop I have different folders for different mail. I can't get these folders to sync with the HD2. I tried the same as above but no joy. Any help?
There should be an option for manage folders in that tools menu, where you can pick which folders to synce (I had to add one of my hotmail folders this way) should be the same for gmail I think.

How exactly do you drop to "my documents"? Do you drop to Computer\HD2\\\My Documents using the Windows explorer, or using other methods?
Normally you don't need to search for a file. Drop a Word document somewhere? Open Word, and File Open lists all the Word documents no matter where they are. Most applications have this type of pan-location file-open dialogue.

I open up my phone's card storage from "computer" on my laptop's start menu, and then simply drag files from my laptop to the "my documents" folder on the phone's card storage. I can open them using file explorer on the phone, but if I go into excel I can't figure out how to open them. When I open excel mobile it displays a blank spreadsheet and I can't figure out how to open files. Can you help?

This is a (stupid) limitation of the WinMo file system
Pocket Office programs only look in the 1st tree branch of files on a storage card- so files in Storage Card/My Documents will be listed, but files in any My Documents subfolders won't.
Files in main memory can look one level lower (ie My Documents/Business)
So, if your files are smallish in size, you may be better to store them in main memory as long as you don't have more than one level of My Documents subfolders.
Another option would be to create a shortcut to the folder holding your files in File Explorer. Tapping file names direct from explorer opens them in the linked program.

That is a strange limitation. Perhaps they may address this issue with winmo7?
How do I create shortcuts, do I do this on the phone, or active sync on the laptop?
It's a bit of a kludge, but if you decide which folder you want to create the shortcut for, navigate to that using File Explorer on the HD2, then Tap/Hold on the folder name and select Copy from the context menu
Now navigate to My Device/Windows/Start Menu/Programs; use the keyboard to move the cursor to any item that isn't a subfolder, and then go Menu/Edit/Paste Shortcut. This will place an entry in Programs pointing to your subfolder, called 'Shortcut to...' You can rename this to remove the 'Shortcut to..' bit, or call it something more representative.
Once it's in Programs, you could then assign one of the 9 program shortcut tiles on the home page to this shortcut. Executing it will open File Explorer at your subfolder, from where you can open any of the files.

wow, that's a process and a half
Ok so did exactly what you said and I get an error message saying
"The file "x" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. IF the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring this file"
What do I do now?
Also how do I remove things from the start menu?
If you press the Windows hardware key, can you see your new 'shortcut' there? If you press it, do you get the same error message?
It might be that the HTC Sense shortcut can't open a folder- if so I'm a bit stuck for further ideas! You could look at a program called Launchpad . This installs itself as a program launcher and is opened by pressing the top left of the taskbar- it has a number of configurable shortcuts, which can include folders and subfolders. At $3.99 it is an excellent program, though I appreciate it is a bit rich to expect to have to pay for something that ought to be in the default OS
[Edit: I wrote a review of Launchpad Here ! ]

Yeah I got the same message. No worries, I'll just have to open them through file explorer. Cheers
OK- must be a limitation of the system! Works OK with Resco File Explorer rather than the built-in one!
Might be worth a look at Launchpad- it does make life easier for a lot of program or settings launches

That's strange. I've never seen a blank sheet on excel mobile. When I start excel, it goes directly to the fileopen screen, showing me a list of xls(x) files on the device.
If you are looking at a sheet, tap OK (top right) to close it. You'll go back to the fileopen screen.

If there are no existing files for that program, Pocket Office will start with a new blank document. You only see the list once there is at least one existing file.

Thanks, didn't realise that. HOwever, it still won't recognise files probably due to the subfolder system mentioned by NeilM. I will try adding the files to the business folder later and see what happens
I have the box ticked to save sent messgaes to sent folder but it's not doing it, am i missing something?
Also, is there a key somewhere about what the icons mean. Some envelopes have a turned corner at the bottom
You use gmail over activesync, right?
By default the sent items folder is not synchronised, you need to go to menu->tools->manage folders and place a tick next to the sent items folder.
kilrah,
Thank you very much for this info. I spent all day trying to figure out why my sent messages were not loggin in the phone.
They shall call you Master.

Hi there,
I am wondering if you can rephrase the question because I don't really know what it is you are asking.
sorry trying to save a email in any folder that comes with gmail but when I move it to any folder n then delete my emails go back to folder its gone

When you move the email to another folder, it does not create a copy of that email - it MOVES it, therefore there is still only one copy.
If you then delete this copy, it will be gone to the trash.
Answer: Do not delete an email if its the only copy!
ok cool that will work txs

I think I understand a bit more what's going on...
GMAIL doesn't have "folders" like we're used to in Outlook and Hotmail, instead it has "stars" and "tags".
When you "move to a folder" you actually just assign it a tag, the email stays in your main folder. You can't really make copies to other folders.
Think its wired to have list on left to do nothing with then .....wth. wish they could save emails ....
I used to use the default email widget in 4.3 to view my work inbox that has subfolders. I can't do that after the 4.4 update. I can just select an email folder that doesn't have subfolders. Anyway to do that using the default app?

This is also for me a annoying thing. I hope it would be ans solution for this in the near future
It seems to be new in the Android 4.4 version of the app. It has been logged, but no update yet.
They mention a couple of work arounds;
1) If you are trying to select your "Inbox" (which has sub folders), then just select the "unread" option
2) Move all your sub folders out of the folder you are trying to select, set up the widget and select the folder, then move the sub folders back. For some reason, it's only the interface that wont let you select a folder that has sub folders. If you already have a folder selected then it works fine when you add sub folders to it.
IMO neither option really works for me. I want to select my inbox, but it has sub folders. Option (1) is no good as I want to see read messages (in case I want to re-read them). Option (2) is no good as my sub folders have a huge amount of e-mail in them, so would take many hours to move them.
Guess we just have to wait for an update to come out...
