Noob HD2 User - HD2 General

Hi all, my first post on here and apologies if it asks stuff already covered, I've had a search but can't find what I'm looking for.
How long should emails show on my new HD2? Set up email last week using my old Orange SIM and all worked fine. Number ported across yesterday so I've swapped SIMS and after a mess about with the settings, I've now got it showing a mail that arrived this morning but nothing prior? As I'm not using Outlook, is there a way to get it to re-sync and show older mails or is there some kind of "validity" that means it only shows "fresh" ones?

Above post edited as I've found the answer to my earlier query.

New Contacts

Hi
I have a small problem witch my Contacts, when I save a new contact it shows with the last name first. Is there any solution or settings I have missed?
I want the first name first Now I open up the contact in Outlook on my desktop and save it again.
Have the latest ROM for my S100.
A solution has been posted before, and consists of 4 small cab files which give you 4 options in the pop-up menu when you select a contacT: firstname-lastname, lastname-firstname, company-first-last and company-last-first. Try a search on this forum or on Hofo, I am sure I got it from there. good luck!
I have searched the forums before posting but I couldnt find anything useful. If anyone knows where those 4 cab files are plz send me in the right direction.
My search results contains several pages with many threads
Takes ages to read them all.
I dont wanna be lazy but I have done my best to find a solution on my own.
The forum I got the cab files and link from is down, sorry. I could email you the cabs. Just send me an email at jdfkok at hotmail.com and I will send you the files.
Thanx! I sent u an email.
Found it!

Yep, that's the link I got them from. I got there through another forum, which was down yesterday and I could not remember the original forum and thread. I have emailed the cabs to all the people who emailed me asking for them, the people who read this thread from now on can find them through the link. read the install instructions in the posts in order to get the alfabetical order right. Finally a solution which should have been built-in from the start!

Mark all as read

Good morning, xda-forum
The Touch HD is my third HTC phone, and it's just so friggin' awesome. But I have one problem.
When i'm texting with a few friends, it's very rare that i go to the TF3D and read the message. I'd rather just leave the phone in "messages".
The problem here is that when i'm done, I'll have like 18 unread messages, and i'll have to go to the TF3D and go through all 25 messages that show up, and wait until they are marked as read.
So, my question is: Is there any way to mark all messages as read?
I tried the search function, but unfortunately nothing helpful came up.
Yes, luckily there is a way.

Thanks a bunch! You just saved my day
Can you share with us which is the way to do it ?

email/sms mark as read function

I'm wondering if anybody knows if there's any way to get a "mark all as read" option from the TF3D screen on my mail and sms tabs. I have downloaded the "safe inbox extender" cab, which is better than before, but it would really be ideal if you could add an option in the OUTER tf3d tab so one doesn't actually have to go into the accounts page at all.
install this cab

sorry I didn't read the rest of your post. but the answer to your post is NO
I'm wondering why this isn't available myself. The inbox extender is great, don't get me wrong but being able to mark all read from the TF3D would be amazing!
Bump!
Why isn't this available? Also, why can't you reply, reply to all, forward etc... from the email tab (like you can in SMS tab)?

Please delete this thread

Has anyone had this problem where you can't open an email by clicking on an email from the Email Tab in Manila? I can open messages by clicking on Inbox. Does anyone know if this has been fixed before? Just HR the device and don't want to do it again. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
PLEASE DELETE THIS THREAD. THANKS.
This happens to me!!
Its already answered on here somewhere, but here it is from me to save you searching
Just press the start icon; then lock the screen
unlock it and all will be fine until the next time it happens
2 times for me in the last week this has occured
LMFAO He has a link to the wiki in his sig which includes how to search and cant search himself. Its been answered a couple of times already that i have seen and I haven't been looking for it.
Thanks for that. I actually found it. Was looking for it and already found it. Sorry for the new thread.
Does anyone trim these posts to avoid having thousands asking the same thing

[Q] Backing up (and restoring) SMS?

Just seen the thread about a new ROM.
My ROM is the last Offical Jan one and I am interested especially in an updated Radio so want to update.
BUT I have a number of important SMS on the phone that I wish to keep.
How do I back them up, flash to a new ROM, then restore them please?
this has been asked a ridiculous amount of times. search
I really bloody hate when people feel the need to post this - on XDA more than any other forum I frequent.
I searched.
I searched this sub-forum; I searched the new Q&A section.
I read about 20 threads.
I did not get the answer I wanted.
I posted the question.
You don't want to help someone struggling, don't. Why though feel the need to intimidate posters with this?
Microsoft My Phone is what you want.

mainly because I find it hard that with a search in just HD2 General for "backup sms" you couldn't find anything out of the 85 threads that pop up. You hate when people say to search, a lot of people hate it when people ask questions that have been asked/answered a lot.
Here's a hint: don't use the top search where it shows a magnifying glass & a sprocket, right at the very beginning of the list of threads there's an item that says "search this forum". it shows on every forum & every post & is much better.
Here are a list of programs that work:
Jeyo Mobile Companion
SPB Backup
PIMbackup
M$ MyPhone
I personally use Jeyo, though it isn't free. It backs them up to M$ Outlook & you can restore as well.
Thank you both.
As it happens I do also have a wry chuckle when someone posts a question that has been asnwered 3 threads down - but it is the slightly sneery need to dive in and smack a person down who is obviously just after some help from people who have been there and done it and does sometimes get on my wick [as it obviously did yesterday ]
You could also use PIM Backup.

As my calendar is already synced with google, contacts with outlook via activesync and pix etc are on the sd card I have just activated myphone and set it to sync sms only.
