Facebook crashes - Touch HD General

I was wondering if anyone else is having problems with Facebook?
I can get to the login screen but as soon as I hit the login button Opera crashes, every time!
Anyone encountered this, or know how to fix it?!

Wow... at least you have in account manager "facebook" account, I can't find it on mine!!!
I look at the registry, and I find the keys... but I don't see the account.
This is my registry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAccountmanager
String Defaul
String Facebookaccount: my [email protected]
String Facebooksecret:
String Facebooksession:
String Facebooktoken:
String FacebookuserID:
String Facebookusername:
are they some other key's that I don't have??

I've just done a master reset, weird thing is the setup process was a bit different this time, hopefully it will let me login now!

Nope, get to login page, login, Opera crashes again

Works for me... I logged in, it went to the main page and I went to the Friends Request page. It works.

I can log in, but my phone crashed last night when I tried to comment on someone's status. I had to soft reset.

It's obviously not an isolated incident then, I'm gonna give HTC a call and ask them about it.

Well I have called HTC and they said they would pass the information on to their technical team.

Where did you get your HD's? I've managed to log in on an Orange one, no trouble. Though it did say "You must have a Javascript enabled browser"...

I have a SIM free version, which ROM does the Orange one have, I assume they modified it?

Nope, vannilla rom.
ROM version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
ROMdate: 10/24/08
Opera version 9.5
Build 2682

Yer mine is the same... weird!!!
I'll wait and see what HTC have to say... Said I would receive a response within 48 hours.

SOLVED!!!
Solved this finally.
It's the proxy setting that T-Mobile (UK) uses, which also screwed up the email retrieval on the Touch HD.
With the proxy setting off there is no problem logging into Facebook an other sites which apparently have problems (according to the Opera forum where I found the solution).

But without the proxy settings you are actualy paying for the Data connectino, no? Watch out! Cause this is how is works in France for example..

Interesting, I'll definately keep an eye on my bill this month then! They usually just get chucked in the filing cabinate unread, way too trusting of my employees obivously!
What does the proxy actually do? I guess it's a HD bug that there are issues with the proxy as it worked fine on the Kaiser and Hermes.

It allow access the 8080 port only (on Vodafone for example). Bascally everyhing is restricted. (cant use POP/IMAP for mail, only HTTP works, no VOIP etc..). Some sites don't work either. It allows just basic internt browsing access.

This is the case with O2 PAYG as well, only web works, no POP3 or IMAP. I don't understand either of those but VOIP makes sense as they don't make as much money off those calls!
I believe they're less rediculous with contracts though!

Hi,
Can you tell me how you do that? disable proxy setting from opera:config -> proxy, or Setting->Connections->t-mobile settings?
Many thanks.

Solved login crash problems
Just added the proxy setting for wap under the t-mobile internet settings, and now i can login to facebook/hotmail without crashing the opera.

weather not updating on t-mobile usa

I know this has been discussed in other threads, but I wanted to start it here, since all other threads are bombered with "i want the htc touch weather applet"... and explanation on how to add cities.
This thread is to discuss any findings about why T-Mobile USA (and some UK) customers can never get updates via GPRS/Edge.
Almost a perfect device, but always these small annoying issues that SHOULD work, but never do.

where?
I wanted to open a thread about this. This is a weird problem. One thing we know is not about the ports. This is really weird but my weather has updated twice over GPRS. I never noticed when it does it. Any proffesional help is appreciated.
I think this thread needs to go somewhere else because it is something general.
I am also seeing the same issues with T-Mobile USA. I am able to load Cities when I am connected to a PC or via Wifi, but not over Edge.
Weird
I was out on vacation the whole week and the weirdest thing happened. It updated my forecast. Just once, and didn't do it since. I wonder if it's tower/location specific. And yes, I have update when roaming enabled.
I am having the same exact problem, it updates when I active snyc, but not over GPRS- and I am on Tmobile also.
Does anyone know if there's a fix for this yet? It would make this app so much better being able to receive weather updates on the go via gprs/edge. I am having the same issue on tmobile, only able to update weather via active sync or wifi.

not yet. someone please contact the pda department and ask them to investigate further, although I think they wont do anything since the htc home plug is not meant for use with tmobile usa.
I just called T-Mobile's PDA support. They ran some diagnostics and told me that everything is fine on their end.
They said that if we can browse the web then we must be able to update the weather plugin.
One thing I did notice is that if I open the following link from my PDA it gets all the information:
http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|NY|NEW%20YORK
This link is what the weather plugin uses.
My touch is from the UK and in Canada the phone always shows roaming. As such what I have found is that I need to have BOTH "auto download" AND "roaming downloads" enabled to causes the plugin to "automatically" refresh the data.
The refresh does not happen as you would think howerver ( ie, in the background ) but rather when you switch to the weather display. If the last download was older than a preset age, it will download the latest weather conditions.
With roaming downloads or auto download disabled I have to force a download (ie refresh weather data) by manually clicking on the elapse time displayed next to the city name.
Where do I configure HTC Weather to use a proxy?
This problem reminds me of the days when everyone besides T-Mo users could access Google results pages. I think the consensus was that there was some incompatibility with MTU settings. It could be that this is the case here too.
Just found a fix here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187
Step 1 worked for me...! Weather now updating via GPRS/EDGE
EDIT: I just unistalled the HTC Home cab and only copied across the HTC Home dll and it works as well. No need to run the host software.
Are you really using T-Mobile's proxy connection for this?

Nope, blackberry plan. Shouldn't technically matter though, if you're using the proxy you could point to the guys server via pocket hosts.
Cheers,
Robbie.
I'm still not able to get this to work. I think there are 2 things going on here for those which require T-Mo's proxy. First, is the T-Mo network problem in general that you seem to have been able to get around, and secondly, forcing the app to use T-Mobile's proxy, b/c all traffic must use that to use the wap APN.
Which servers are you using to get this to work over the internet APN?
make sure your apn says: wap.voicestream.com
username:
password:
leave username and password blank
try this, it may work

Can't send POP e-mail...

Receiving from my ntl account works fine, but when I try to send something it complains about a possible problem with coverage and/or account settings...and yet everything looks the same as it does in Outlook where, incidentally, it works fine.
Is it possible to import an account with its settings from where I have it in Outlook? Just in case I have missed something after all...

Are you on Wifi or GPRS/UTMS?
If you are using your phone network you might need to use their outgoing server. If you can give a little bit more info, I might be able to help.
This is over HSDPA on my contract WAP. I know of no outgoing server info for Vodafone but I could be wrong...
Just as an aside, do you know why my X1 tries to connect to 'Business Email' whenever I turn it on?
Thanks
*Update* - Email sent fine over the Activesync connection...hmmm. Any ideas?
Uk Vodafone should have send.vodafone.net as the outgoing SMTP address.
Not sure why Business Email should be connecting, unless you are using their own Push Email solution.
Awesome, you sir are a genius. Thank you!

The Business Email APN is another one of these locked settings. In the reg you should be able to unlock it, and then remove it via Connections.
If you aren't using it, then you should have no worries.

o2 mobile internet problem - help needed

I bought a sim-free htc touch hd a few weeks ago, bought an o2 pay&go sim, added the unlimited web blot-on, and thought everything would be just fine. But I was wrong.
It worked fine on the small number of occasions I used it before yesterday.
Since I added the web bolt-on, the automatic connection settings no longer work and I get the following message every time I try to set up the data connection:
Dialed:
Cannot connect for an unknown reason. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings. If the problem continues, reset your mobile device according to your manufacturer's documentation and try again.

Other than trying the automatic connection setup feature a few times, I've also tried manual settings. Currently my settings are as follows:
Modem selected: Cellular Line (GPRS, 3G)
Access point name: mobile.o2.co.uk
User name: O2web
Password: some 16 digit long network automatic password
Domain: no value entered
Advanced settings:
TCP/IP: Use server-assigned IP address
Servers: Use server-assigned addresses
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried using a different username and password, same the ones listed on most setup guides.
I've tried entering a manual DNS, and Alt DNS server address under advanced settings.
I've tried setting up the connection from scratch.
And I've tried doing a soft reset followed by restoring it to factory settings.
Currently I am using ROM version 1.14.4005.3, and have nothing else installed on the device. I do not currently have access to anything other than a mac, so cannot use any windows-related troubleshooting devices.
Absolutely anything you could suggest would be great. Rang o2, but they were unhelpful. Thanks chaps.

Those are the O2 contract settings. PAYG settings are different and one will not work with the others' settings. You'll have to scoure the O2 website to find the manual settings for PAYG (or PAG as O2 calls it).
A word of warning, however, after just coming off P&G and onto contract, and thus knowing the limitations of both, your mobile web with P&G will be severely crippled.
Unless O2 have changed their settings on the server side, the only web program that will work will be Opera. Email client and youtube won't work as P&G is limited to port 8080 (HTML) only...
This is something that really annoyed me when I was with P&G because I couldn't use my mobile's email client because it just could not connect.
sorry, rant/warning over! Summary: you need P&G specific settings, you can find them (eventually) on the O2 website - keep trying makes and models until you find one that gives you the manual settings (I can't give more help than this as I had to do the exact same thing myself!). HTC auto-connect wizard only has contract settings in it. Also be warned that potentially only Opera will work once you get the settings!

Thank you so much. I may love you. In a non-gay way. Anywho, I've found out how to do it. It's extremely simple now that you've pointed me toward the problem.
Go to Settings > Connections > Manage existing connections
Then under the 'Modem' tab, edit your connection.
All you have to do is change the access point name from 'mobileweb.o2.co.uk' to 'payango.o2.co.uk'.
Very simple.
And thanks for the warning about the limitations. I might take that up with them, since it is not mentioned when purchasing the web upgrade or sim. I'll test it out first though.

It's a general thing with PAYG really, telcos want you to have contracts - make more money from you that way! all PAYG SIMs go through proxies for mobile web connections, and almost all the PAYG proxies are limited to 8080 only.
Then again, it sounds like you didn't use the proxy settings so we'll see what happens w.r.t non html usage!
When you get a chance, could you please have a play with trying to use Gmail on IMAP and/or the YouTube and/or weather panel and report back whether it works or gets timed out? I'd really like to see how you get on!
As I already have many phone contracts in the family (that I'm paying for ), I got one of those o2 simplicity 30 day rolling contract things, the cheapest one for £10, then added £7.50 web bolt on, that lets you do whatever you like (you tube, mail etc all works fine), I thinks its also 150mins and 300txts.
Tmob do one as well that I think £20 for more mins, Unlimited txts and free web (special offer at the moment). It is a better deal than the o2 for only £2.50 more, but I have better o2 reception where I am, and also they use the Edge network.

OK, I've played about with these a bit, and they seem to be working fine. Weather works perfectly, as does my Gmail account on IMAP.
The youtube application is extremely slow, but I'm assuming that is more general, than a specific PAYG problem.

I've got their 'Your Country' SIM pack, which is purely top-up, but they deduct the 7.50 form my credit each month. It's great for me, since you get free minutes for calls to overseas whenever you top-up - damn useful for an Irishman.
Can't afford 20 pound every single month unfortunately. Student life (ignoring the fact that I managed to get a HD).
Thanks again chaps.

HTCs response to Hero not compatible with Voda UK and Screen gap Issue

The great thing about the Hero is the cool widgets and the Facebook/contacts intergration. Not all of these widgets and features are compatable with Vodafone UK. Also many have commentend about the gap between the screen and the casing. I asked HTC about these two issuse. Here's the response:
New Response From [ Pete (Europe Support (Tech)) ]
I am afraid that the vodafone rep is wrong about not blocking ports. everyone using the Hero on vodafone UK is reporting the same issues with the widgets so they do indeed have other ports blocked. in fact i know for a fact that there are more than just that port blocked as they also block the common VPN ports, the WAP ports and certain others to prevent things like MSN...
as for the screen issue, i have heard of a couple of other people that have this, and it seems that the seal may not have fitted correctly. That would be best to send it back, or i am sure that we could fix it later as well.
best regards,
HTC Europe Support
What are we going do now about the Vodafone issue? I might call Vodafone and ask them.

I spoke to them, they don't recognise it as an issue. They'll probably say its not a supported handset so bog off. Give it a try though Mansn you never know. Tip for ya, when you call 191 select the option for blackberry. That'll get you through to the propper geeky techs with beards and all! Any other option and you'll end up talking to a Pat or Maureen who will struggle to understand what the heck you're on about.
If these things don't work then there is no point in even owning a Hero. Might as well by a Magic for half the price.
I just called 191. Where is the crackberry option?
1. Balance, Bills, PUK code
2. Lost stolen, making and receiving calls
3. Help with broadband and landlines
4. Less than 7 days, want to return it
I was told by the last guy i spoke to to select the blackbury option. You're right, there isn't an option. Anyway, just got through to a Maureen who has put me in the que for a tech dept.. 20 minute delay apparently.. Maureen did say "that phone is not supported, we can't help you"
I think the only way round it would be another VPN from Voda to bypass the blocks. O2 do that for getting round the data compression.
Will they provide an alternative APN so we can use the Hero to its full potential? might find out in 18 minutes........ TBC
Just spoke to the beards at Voda.
They have contridicted the HTC comments and say they do not block ports. Bottom line "this is not a supported handset. Is there anything else I can help you with today?"
I've discovered a half work around. The default APN is "internet" with username web password web.
Change this to APN wap.vodafone.co.uk (overwrite the word internet)
password wap, username wap.
Now the facebook and flickr pages load. All is good apart from the twitter app. That still doesn't work. I've found the internet speeds so much faster. On the internet APN I got half a meg, now on wap.vodafone.co.uk i'm now getting nearly 2 meg! Both APNs use the inclusive 500mb BTW.
so.. we're getting somewhere, just gotta sort twitter, there are other widgets on the market place which do work in the meantime.
that's nice of them.
Basically "you didn't buy it from us, bugger off!!"
i suppose that they may have changed things, but when i used to work for them, they definitely blocked some ports on the internet APN. 500 and 9201/9202 were definitely blocked at least, and port 80 was blocked on the business VPN access point!
And besides, if you can connect over Wifi but not on the Vodafone APNs then it just proves that they ARE blocking ports and they just haven't got the guts to admit it.
at least with T-Mobile they only block ports through their proxy...turn the proxy off and all is open!
Damn glad i chose to stay with t-mobile and not change to vodafone!
and yikes, everything even works on Three!! come on Vodafone, have the guts to admit it or just open the damn ports up!!
Why are any of these things not using standard HTTP over port 80?
I may be forced to move to Vodafone through work. What exactly is going to stop working?
As an aside, how is their 3g network compared to O2?

Hey. Having the same problem with Vodafone too, but seems as though it's just Twitter that's being the bugger with me, facebook & flickr have been fine so far.
I have tried various other Twitter widgets from market place but they either won't refresh tweets or I can't update my tweets. Is there one you would recommend that hopefully does both so I dont have to have 2 Twitter widgets running??
Thanks!

Blimey. Done that and now I have the thousand or so Facebook friends in the phone too! *Blinks* It's going to make scrolling through a bit of a 'mare - especially as the 'scroll down by letter' thing on the right of the screen is so difficult to operate...
EDIT: Most of the new Facebook contacts aren't showing the photo. Do I need to do each of these individually, or is there a way of doing them all at once?
Ok, maybe I am being thick, but I got a HTC Hero today on a Vodafone pay monthly tariff with unlimited internet (ok 500Mb)
The internet wont work at all though.
Can anyone post the full list of their working connection details please?

It seems as though Vodafone is doing something about the issue. A post on androidforums from mobiles.co.uk seems to indicate this:
Hi there,
Hero will be returning to Vodafone in the near future but we are unable to sell it currently due to some technical issues that came up - nothing serious, but we had to pull it from the site as a precaution.
Hope this helps,

In the old days the only way around port blocking was to use a VPN on a nonstandard port at home. Then VPN to that to use your home connection.

Can't login on websites with HTC browser

Hi,
I have a "weird" problem with my HTC Hero: whenever I try to login on a webpage (e.g. a forum or the website of my university), it doesn't work...
So: on the website I tap on "Log in". The browser takes me to another site where I enter my username and password. But after tapping the "Login" or I tap "Enter", the browser redirects me to the previous login website, where I have to press again "Log in" and re-enter my details...This happens every time... It doesn't make "the click" to direct me to the site I get when the login works... My username and password are 100 % correct...
When i try it with Opera Mini, it DOES work...
Is it some kind of setting or ... ? I have enabled the browser to store my usernames and passwords I enter...
Thanks in advance !
Hmmm... anyone?
I have this problem with capital one's website.. I would like to know a fix as well.

Luna,
can't help you but I can share your problem. It happens to me too.
You are not at Manchester Uni are you?
I've tried a few websites that I use where login details are required i.e. forums, banks, email etc and it works fine for me.
Just out of curiosity, do you zoom in on the web page login area so that the 'Login' button is larger and can be selected easier? I always do that and never seem to have the problem you're experiencing.
@cbailey: no, I live in Belgium, so ..
@thecastleforkid: I just tried your method (zooming in on "Log In"), but it din"t work...
Like when I try to login in on a forum, for example www.9lives.be/forum (a belgian website), i try to login... so i click on the login button... the site redirects me to : www.9lives.be/login... I enter my details... the site SHOULD go back to www.9lives.be/forum, but in stead it goes to www.9lives.be/login/login......
and this happens with other websites also...
In Opera mini everything works fine (but i prefer the Hero browser with the multitouch...)
Very strange...
Hello.
I had the same issue with the french provider Orange.
So this is what I did to fix it, I don't know if it'll be the same for you :
Settings > Wireless Controls > Mobile Network Settings > Access Point Name
And I changed Orange World to Orange Internet.
The thing is you can't establish any secured connections (https) with some APNs apparently (I don't know the technicals details, sorry if I'm wrong in the explanations), so just try to change it.

Hi!
thanks for the tip, but I use Mobile Vikings... so I don't know what to change..
also: with opera mini it works fine.. and that's also on Mobile Vikings (obviously...).. so I guess it has to do with the browser of the Hero instead of my APN...
Correct me if I'm wrong

Try to connect your websites over wifi and you'll be fixed.
If it doesn't work on wifi with hero's browser it's not your apn.
Well... I've tried that method (connecting through wifi) before... it didn't work... tried it again now... didn't work...
Man, it's getting annoying (not a lot of other complaints on the Hero though...)
Thanks for the tip anyway !

I do think it has something to do with the security settings on the native browser. I try to login to my work intrAnet via the native browser and many times it goes straight into a password violation lockout because the network thinks I am trying to hack into it. ANyway, I have had your same problem. Guess for those certain sites you are just gonna have to use Opera Mini or something similar.
It's really weird I guess I can't help you sorry :/
Did you check if htc hero's browser accept the cookies in the settings ?
