Hi,
I have a stock 1.48 ROM with the hotfixes. Just recently my phone has started not to open an email when you click on it.
When an email comes in the phone will alert me as normal. I slide to the email tab and I can slide up and down the emails. The problem is when I tap on the email to open it, it does not open. I have to goto the inbox manually and then open it.
Soft reset wont cure it. Does it both on my Exchange account (of which I am the IT Sys Admin and have no rules set) and my Win Live.
Please help.

Lock your phone keeping the "off power" button pressed (choose "Lock Device" (second choice)), then unlock your phone and it will be ok ! ^^
Don't ask me why

Is it possible to remap the buttons on the htc home plugin (meaning the sms and email buttons located below the clock)?
I would like to be able to open PocketCM Contacts when I press on the sms button.
Would this be possible?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
htctoucher
Have you tried to search??
yeah i have tried, just I could not find anything..
I searched "remap htc touch home buttons" and every variant of these words I could think of on XDA and Google.. couldn't find any answers
have any ideas?
or did I miss a thread?
thanks
Martinhdk, I'd say at least answer the question for him. Simple Answer: you can't.
oh well.. thanks for the answer haha

As in it's impossible to get the buttons to map to different things, or it is not really feasible (as in, it would take an enormous amount of work and programming skill)?
I was just wondering about this the other day. I have HTC Touch and I noticed that when I click on the mail button it brings me to my MMS inbox, however I would like it to bring me to my exchange inbox. Is this something which just isn't supported by HTC Touch, or is it something that no one (to your knowledge) has managed to code yet?

Hell, nothing is impossible. Look at what Slither has done with the cube! However, the HOME plugin is hardcoded to link to the things it does. There aren't any registry settings to mess with unfortunately.

When you click on the mail button, you should have a menu button on the bottom. Click on it and goto tools then options.
This screen allows you to navigate to the box you wish. There is also a box at the bottom that you can check which says : "display account picker when opening message" this lets you choose from all your accounts.
If you want it to only go to the exchange account, you have to make sure that asterick * is next to that account if not you need to change in the settings and then when you click on mail it will go to that box!
Hope this helps!

How do I get the * , to display next to the account I want. I seem to be missing something

Just de-select the box for display account picker.
Then while on the same screen, touch the account you want to have come up when you press the email icon and that should do the trick!
I can't get it to pick up my email account automatically it just keeps constantly going into SMS instead of email when I hit the email button on the HTC Home. Very annoying! Any ideas?
im running The RC33 version of JFv1.41.
somehow the "too many pattern attempts" popped up and now its asking me to login with my username and password. ive tried my username by itself. i tried [email protected] (which i originally used to register the phone) and i tried [email protected] (which i saw suggested in another post) and none of these work. anyone have any ideas? it just says "too many pattern attempts invalid username or password". i cant log back in.xi can still receive calls but cant get back to the home screen. im running The RC33 version of JFv1.41.
Even if you fail to enter the pattern correctly a few times, the lock should only be temporary. Although it sounds like you got permanently locked out, if I understand correctly... If it still doesn't take the username either, I'd just say reflash your phone with the update.zip
usually it says wait 30 seconds and i can try the unlock pattern again. this is the first time its asked for my email address and password again. it happened last night so i waited until this morning and its still asking for my email address and password and wont login. i guess i'll try reflashing the phone. thanks. will report back.
gmail.com and reset ur pass
i can login to gmail.com with my existing password. i dont think i want to mess with trying to reset my pass.
well its not like the world would end...resetting ur pass is real easy.
This happened to me once before. It had slipped out of its case and ended up being flopped around my backpack. Apparently some things in my backpack attempted to unlock my phone. It gave me the gmail login screen like the OP and wouldn't accept my pass. I ended up pulling the battery, and waiting a few minutes before inserting it again. Worked just fine when I put the battery back in. Of course, neither myself, or the T-mobile rep I called knew what may have caused it.

i reflashed the device after i did a nandroid backup and was able to login with my normal [email protected] account info. the thing is it was set back to factory defaults so all my info was missing (apps, setting, etc.). so that rules out an issue with my gmail account. i tried restoring the nandroid backup that i created before the wipe and reflash but the restore still contains the locked state of the phone and asks for username and pass. looks like my last option would be to try the suggestion posted by haykuro here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485988 otherwise i'll have to just start from scratch with the new flash.
Just shut the phone off ............ press and hold the home button, then press the power button until the phone vibrate, keep holding the home button untill you see yellow text on the screen, now open the keyboard and press alt and W at the same time. wait about 30sec then press the home and back button at the same time .... and there it is no more password

cant use this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485988 because phone is locked and dont have access to switch it to USB debugging as step 3 asks for "Step 3. Plug your G1 into your computer (via usb). (Settings -> Application -> Development -> USB Debugging, must be enabled [it is enabled by default in JesusFreke releases i think])" i assume debugging is turned off because when i try adb i get "device not found." i guess im going to have to start fresh and re-install everything. i still have the "locked" image i can restore and try to unlock if anyone has more suggestions. the weird thing is that it doesnt seem like its trying to connect to google servers when i enter my username and password. i hit "sign in" and it doesnt seem to do anything. really really really weird.
haha this once happened to me because i was typing user or [email protected] but i never tryed [email protected] (well i did eventualy) but damn i was bugging out LOL!

I think you should check your apn settings. I am sure that, they are wrong. Are you sure that you have 3g connection established before trying to unlock your phone? At the beggining i have locked my phone like yours, and i was trying a few times to unlock it, before understand that my 3g connection wasn't established. I have to delete ALL APN settings and the reAdd the only one that i need. You can try this too.
I hope this will unlock your phone.

Amount of time you have been screwing with it you could have reset it by now and had all your apps, customizations back long ago. I think thats your best bet..
I notice a bug in the HTC Sense Mail tab, but I like someone to confirm.
ASsuming you have configure your mail a/c, go to the mail tab, and tap on the email message (i.e. the screen that shows the email content, not the left or right softkey).
it should bring out the mail client, but for me it doesn't. Can anybody confirm this?
I have that problem too sometimes. seems to come and go but I dont find it a big deal since the inbox is accessible so easily anyway
btw Im from sg as well
This is a known problem in the 1.48.XXX ROM.
To make it work again, try to go to the Start Menu and Lock your screen manually.
Somehow if you do this, tapping on the mail icon works again.

Hello!
I have a problem with my hd 2.
Somehow I activated the phone lock, i'm not sure how it happened, as I know where the setting is and I don't recall activating it.
The problem is that I can't figure out how to deactivate it again (the check box "Prompt if phone unused for" is grayed out, can't uncheck it)
I can change the settings, like, how much time before it locks up or what password I want to use, but no disable.
I really don't want this phone lock to be activated so if anyone could tell me what to do to deactivate it i'd be most grateful!
Tried to search the forums for it but couldn't find anything.
Thanks!
try clearing the password fields, and changing the time to 0 minutes, and then see if it'll let you untick the box.
You can disable auto lock with BsB Tweaks. That's probably the easiest method.

MidnightDraven: thanks, I tried that but it won't let me clear the password field, just keeps saying that it's not allowed to keep it blank, even if I set the time to 0.....
johncmolyneux: I'll give it a go
Thanks both of you for replying

I tried out this application, and disabled the "auto lock" function, but I still get prompted when I reboot my phone, that I have to type in the phone lock code ?
Seems to have worked other than that....any other ideas as to how I can get rid of it completely ?
I don't know what to say mate. I just set mine to lock and require a pin, but it let me untick the "prompt if unused" checkbox and blanked out the password for me when I did it. It's now back to the way it was.
Have you installed any software recently?

Well i'm using topix ROM which I got from these forums, and only other thing I have installed is the cab that makes the battery shown in %.
Could it be the topix ROM perhaps?

It's possible. Try raising the issue in the thread you got the ROM from. I'm sure someone else would have seen the issue if it is caused by that ROM.

Figured out why it got activated!
When I setup the exchange connection for my workplace must be some sort of security policy, that forces you to activate the phone lock if you want to sync the emails, can't find away around it, but at least the mystery is solved
Thanks again for your help!

Hi,
I Have the same issue with exchange.
But there is no other option to disable it? some reg modification?
Hi all,
I've just got my HD2 and it's the first Windows Mobile device I've synced with my exchange server. Had the same thing and it really bugged me but I found a work around. If you're an Exchange admin (or you're in good with those who are), Google search for Exchange-2003-Mobile-Messaging-Part2-Uncovering-Device-Security-Policies - use the first link. You can disable the requirement for a password globally, or you can specify an individual user to exclude from the password policy. I've just added my username in as an exclusion and it works like a treat!
Good luck
hi, is there a way of pressing a master "send/receive" button that will activate the send/receive function in all your email accounts to save you having to do one at a time ?

Set it to automatically check every 15-30 mins instead of pushing it all the time. It won't trigger any triggers with your pop/imap provider either.
I remember that on my HD that there was a master send/recieve all - it was located in the Settings/Config page somewhere. Not sure if this was factory or cooked ROM

Don't do it! If you do (like I did) you'll experience one of the biggest and (seem) unsolvable HTC bug: the notification queue issue! The HD2 will freeze RANDOMLY and you'll have to disconnect the battery, start the device again, clean the notification queue and wait for the next freeze...if you search here in XDA you'll find plenty posts regarding this issue...
NRG's LEO ROMs have a Send / Receive All Icon in "Internet" on the start menu.
Try and find what that is .
