Hi,
Just got my first Windows Mobile ever, and ofcourse its the HTC HD2 !
Very impressed with the screen, and the fast CPU, which makes quite a fast phone.
Before I get to the subject, I got a few issues/questions
1. My phone came with my native language. How do I loathe that! Can't google a single thing! So how do I change language?
So far I found out I need to change the actual ROM ? No way around that?
2. How do I change time it takes before phone locks itself?
3. How do I quickly change profile?
4. How do I select things? For instance, doing something in file explorer, always starts the program/whatever, when I want to copy it to another location.
5. Quicker way to enter non-english letters? Quite cumbersome to hold a key down, then drag to the right letter.
6. How do I know I've received a new SMS, when the phone has gone to sleep? e.g. no blinking LEDS ?
7. How do I use Footprints? I was under the impression, that you use 1 picture as "base", then you add pictures under that base. How do I add pictures? If not, then I don't understand the purpose of footprints.
So to the subject at hand.
I got Windows 7 64 bits installed, and have Office 2010 beta for 64 bits. When Active Sync starts, it claims no email program have been installed, or that its not compatible. What gives?
Do I need to downgrade to Office 2007 in order to sync? If not, what other email programs can I sync with?
I can't help you with most of those, but re: #4
Press and hold, you'll get a context menu.

Ok, Ill try that then.
Another issue:
Very often phone refuses to send SMS. Is this fixed in later ROM versions?
Had the same issue with Outlook 2010 64 bit. And the Answer is pretty simple but also not exciting:
There is no 64 bit WMDC. And the 64 bit Outlook 2010 does only allow 64 bit Add-ons.
For the time beeing you can only sync with Outlook 2010 in the 32 bit version. As I recall what I've read in other threads they wont deliver a 64 bit WMDC until Office is released

edit: what is this then? http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...56-7825-43B2-AC89-2030ED98ED95&displaylang=en will it work with Windows 7 64 bits?
I can't find 64 bit Office at all except the 2010 version, and the 32 bits versions refuses to install on Windows 7 64 bit.
How do I then sync my phone?
maybe go try office 2007 rather than the beta of 2010 ?

I downloaded the 32 bit version of 2007, but it refused to start instaling, saying it was for the wrong OS.
I'm using RC of Win 7 though, will upgrade shortly, but I wanted to sync my phone first.
office 2007 installs fine on win7
Also you might want to try using WMDC instead of activsync? have no idea how you got Activsync installed on Win7, but it's not the right tool for the job.
Also, I'm running Win7x64 with Office 2010RCx64 and all works nicely, not syncing the phone via that path (Exchange 2010 sync OTA) but no warnings.

The reason why not working, is that the Outlook Plug-In in the WMDC is still a 32 bit Application - even if you use the 64 bit version of WMDC.
I had he the same issue when I tried the 64 bit Beta version of Office 2010.
And when I tried to install the 32 bit version it refused to install too.
You need to uninstall ALL parts of the 64 bit Office before you can install the 32 bit version.

Now, my friend gave me her Herm100 so that i can fix a few problems...
And that worked out great, i got ALMOST everything working.
Except, When she trys logging in on MSN, It Signs In with her FIRST profile.
Now, she got a new windows live account, For work use.
But every time she logs in, it takes her to her Old account.
Is there any way i can reset the Settings from Start.
Or, is there any other "Messenger" Programs. Particularly for MSN.
-Thanks
Possible Solution
If you are using Windows Live Messenger then there should be an icon called “Windows Live” in your programs menu. If it is not there then it is installed as standard in the Windows directory and is called “WLMLauncher”
Click on the icon and open the application, then click menu and account options.
You should be able to switch your Windows Live ID in there.
I hope this helps,
Dave.

I have tried but I can not seem to get this to happen on my phone.
Which version of Messenger are you using?
Also, are you synchronising your e-mail?
I am not sure but if you are synchronising your mail then it might be worth checking your server settings in active sync. This is just a guess but it might be attached to your MSN account.
I have searched the registry and there are two places where it mentions my MSN account. I deleted them but it did not seem to reset the logon under messenger. I suggest you search your registry for them and try renaming / deleting the keys referencing your account and see if that enables you to change it.
I hope some of this is of use to you, let me know the MSN version you are using, I am using Windows Live for Windows Mobile Version 10.6.0034.0800
Dave.
I posted a few attachments, check them out.
I can not seem to get my messenger to do that.
Can you please click about and tell me which version number of MSN you have?
I think a good first step would be to try reinstalling Windows Live (If you have not already done so). You can find the cab file on the following page:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334621
I suggest you pick "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed).zip" as it is the same version I have got and no matter what I have tried I can not get the same error as you!
Good Luck!
Dave.
Okay, now I have installed 10.6.0034.0800.
And the problem still goes on.
Its okay i guess.
Registry
I can not replicate your problem so I am only try it guess now.
Can you try doing a search of the registry and removing any reference to your windows live account and see if that changes anything?
Alternatively you could uninstall Windows Live and then remove all the registry keys relating to Windows Live and then try a reinstall.
Sorry this is getting a bit vague but I can not replicate what is happening on your phone.
Dave.
I recently installed Windows Live Messenger on a HTC Vox for a friend of mine and had the same error not being able to set the account. I installed Windows Live 10.6.0033.0600 and that fixed it.

Hello,
Has anyone managed to make Mobile Device Center to talk with outlook 2010? It doesn't see it as an active mail client... There are a few posts around the net, but only questions thus far.
Where;d you get a copy of office 2010 from to test this with anyway?

I found a copy over at piratebay. Its a technical preview
Oooh well you see Santa came early this year...
It was released on MSDN, wasn't it? Torrents were out about a week earlier than that...
[EDIT] What daddy_yankee1980 said, it's a technical preview. Surprisingly complete, to tell you the truth, very fast and lots of new features, but it won't talk to ActiveSync...
Here's the error I've been getting:
Either there is no default mail client or the current mail client cannot fulfill the messaging request. Please run Microsoft Office Outlook and set it as the default mail client.
Bummer... So, noone else? Am I the only one to have seen this?
Obviously not enough people have tried this

You're not alone! I have same issue with Office 2010 and Windows 7 Please let me know if you find any way to solve this!
Yea, I'm running 7.127 too, but I think the problem is with Outlook itself... they probably forgot to make it hook onto something...
I'm on the RC of Windows 7 x64 (7100) and have this issue. I really like Office 2010 so far though - it looks more grown up.
Hopefully there will be a fix for this sometime soon... don't really want to have to go back to Office 2007.

I'm having the same trouble with Device Manager and Outlook 2010 TP...
Here the same problem: Office / Outlook 2010 TP on Windows 7 x64 7100. I'll revert to Office 2007, and wait.
Ain't it a shame? I can't imagine how they missed this one....
Can't sync PIM - looking for solution
yeap. I have installed yesterday the Office 2010 TP and I have loved the new features especially in Outlook 2010. But I can't sync PIM data anymore too. I'm using Win7+WMDC 6.1.6965+WinMo 6.1. I don't wanna back to 2007 but if I can't find solution I will!
I have sended a e-mail to Microsoft Office 2010 Engineering Team in http://blogs.technet.com/office2010/contact.aspx asking about that ... let's wait!
Office 2010 + Windows 7 + WMDC - The Solution is here!
Works for me!
Go into Control Panel and remove the driver under Network Adapters
that appeared when my device was connected. Once removed.
Reboot Windows. Connect the device. Let Windows 7 reinstall WMDC from the download and it "slowly" install the drivers.
Done... everything works!
Maybe will be to reinstall Office 2010 too!

Um... you managed to sync your contacts/calendar with this procedure? Because this appears to just install the device, whereas the problem is with Office not being registered as a PIM...
I believe that the issue is WMDC doesnt currently support x64 Outlook 2010. I've seen a couple of reports that installing JUST the OL2k7 application (custom/advanced install deselect everything apart from OL2k7) over the top works as a workaround.
Yet to be able to test this as away from home....
I had to keep Outlook 2007 too, as 2010 technical preview doesn't have WMDC providers.
Also, the same happens with OneNote 2010, but there I had to uninstall OneNote 2010, reinstall ON 2007 and unpair/pair the smartphone to get OneNote mobile to sync again. Once I install ON 2010 to the working setup, it breaks again.
So, if you want to sync, don't install Outlook and ON 2010, keep 2007 .
O2010TP
64-bit doesn't work but x86 version does allow full sync on all apps - including Outlook.
Anyone have any problems sync'ing with OneNote 2010? I'm using the x86 version and the onenote option doesn't appear in the content sync settings menu anymore.
having the same problem ... don't want to roll back to the 2007 ... ^^
I've just installed HTC Sync on my vista machine (fully updated) and after the install when browsing other folders through explorer it caused explorer to continually crash and restart. Anyone else experienced this issue? I had no such issues with my XP machine which synched fine
I just installed this on Vista and it will not connect to my Hero. I dragged it off the SD card (in the hero) thus vista can see the hero, but htc sync says 'disconnected'.

If you suss out a sync solution to for i'll be a happy punter.
for getting it working on win 7 you need to install the android sdk and install the ADB driver from there.
If that doesn't work there is a magic one on the forum that works fine for 64 bit win7
To sync with a mac you can sync addressbook with a gmail account out of the box now or you can export a group vcard then upload that to gmail so that sorts the contacts and ical can sync with google calendar by using calaborator
http://code.google.com/p/calaboration/
Will try installing the ask and report back

Is a new version available ?

yep I've found that too, I run the magic sync vista 32 bit driver as admin, the phone asks me if I want to set it to sync mode, the cmd window on screen indicates that its found it, then nothing.
This is frustrating for me now, come on HTC!!

That doesn't work on Vista either. You can see the SD card but the sync prog is never found (ie that 2.0.4 one you have posted).

I think the easiest current solution is to sync with gmail/gcal Paul. It's what I am doing. Saying that, I am back using my Kaiser atm
I found co-pilot too buggy and I need gps
Because the HTC sync is'nt working I just transfered my callender and contacts straight to gmail, and thats working flawlessly.
There's still google sync from companionlink, wich syncs Your Desktop Outlook to Google Calendar and Contacts. 15-Day Trial is free, after that it costs once $29,99, but then, You have nearly exchange capabilities (well not exactly to be honest, cause it syncs in Intervalls of 15 mins and not in relatime). Great tool, works like a charm, i can only recommend. http://www.companionlink.com/products/companionlinkforgoogle.html

How to get HTC sync work
Hi all,
I managed on how to get HTC Sync work for windows 7 (64 bit). I should work the same way for vista if having troubles.
How to get sync working:
- Copy all driver files to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64
- Install HTC Sync with administrator rights (By coping the files from the previous step, the installation isn't giving an error message anymore).
- Wire up youre HTC Hero to the computer
- Install the drivers in windows for your HTC device.
1 Push start button
2 Click with right mouse button on `Computer`, Pop-up appears
3 ´Click on properties. Screen: "Control Panel\System and Security\System" appears.
4 Click on Device manager
5 Search for ADB at `Other devices`
6 Click right mouse button on ADB and update driver software.
Pop-up "Update Driver Software - ADB" appears. (Not really sure the name was `ADB` but it is something like that, can´t miss it.
7 Click Browse my computer for driver software
8 Browse to the path:
C:\Program Files (x86)\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\Vista_x64
9 Click next
Driver is installed
- The sync symbol should appear beside the USB symbole in the screen of youre Hero. Click on it and it should connect. If the icon doesn´t appear, unplug the hero, shut down youre Hero By pressing and holding the `end` button. When the device started up again, wire it up again and the icon must appear.
This is how i managed to fix it. Hope i described everything completely
Good luck
Not a great solution if you are on a 32bit OS/CPU.
As it says just in-case you haven't seen it yet, but be warned it is based on Nero 10 with a bit of Dell stuff thrown in, anyways heres the direct download link
http://www.nero.com/link.php?gen_id=10&to=9999&installmd5=mhubdell&prg=installmhubdell-1.exe
Hmmm, 140+mb install you can tell it was made by Nero
/edit and it's trying to spam me with toolbars, another Nero habit.
Tested it last night.. Seems like an unfinished version, it asks me to purchase the full version to be able to sync, not just import :s
And furthermore, dell update screen specifies that this should also have outlook sync capabilities.. I don't understand how that will be possible though.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Agree with the comments above. I also found that after downloading and installing it, it then told me that there were updates available! And of course it requires a reboot each time (why on earth should the installation of a PDA sync program require an operating system reboot?!)
The lack of Outlook synchronisation is a disaster for me. I don't do GMail, and all my contacts/diary/to dos/notes are in Outlook. Windows Mobile Device Centre may have had its problems, but at least it let me synchronise my WinMo phones with Outlook.
Surely Dell can't remove this functionality with the roll-out of 2.2?

Why in the world would Dell go to a sync program with 64 bit issues when by default, ALL Dell laptops come with 64 bit Win7 installed????
it is not an office 2010 problem. it is a activesync problem. activesync has no 64 bit support. running office 2010 32 bit on 64 bit windows works fine. the activesync thus also the dell sync program work fine as they rely on activesync.
btw if you look in the market and search for dell you will find the dell (nero) backup program. while you wait for the update to come next week , one can make a backup allready

cause it works with 32 bit office.
furthermore there is a windows phone 7 sync software which runs 64 bit.
hopefully this will be used instead of activesync.
Works for me with Windows 7 64 bit. First I deleted ADB interface in device manager and restarted. That may not be necessary. After the ADB interface has been reinstalled by Windows I started the new mobile sync manager and it recognized the Streak quickly under devices. After removing the USB connection it may take 1 or 2 tries reseating the USB plug in the computer before the Streak is being recognized again. A little fickle, but it works.

On Dell Sync Manager it works in "Charge only" mode..

Backup/Restore AND synchronize with Outlook both work. A disclaimer here, I use 64 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, but still use 32-bit Office 2007, and Outlook is still version 2003.
The first time I tried synchronize the Dell Mobile software crashed. However, after upgrading it works fine now. Remember, to sync you have to have "USB connected" set to "off".
By the way, reconnecting to Dell Mobile Sync always seems to take a few tries of plugging in and re-plugging the USB cable.

The Dell Mobile Sync will only work if you have the "Dell Sync" app on your Streak. It did come with Steve's 2.2 version 1.2 (what I am using now) and, presumably, will be included in the official Froyo. To sync 1.6 or 2.1 you can use the original Dell software.
Other Outlook Sync Methods
For those who cannot sync because they use Outlook 2010 64 bit or are having other problems, there are other solutions to sync Outlook with the Streak. syncdroid.net lists most of them in a chart. Cross reference the software with what you want to sync (calendar, contacts, notes, tasks), how you want to sync (wireless, wi-fi, usb), and your Outlook version to get your solutions. Many of them are free.
Slightly off topic but is there anyway of stopping the Dell Sync app from appearing on my phone when I connect it to my PC as I now just sync with google contract and google calendar and have no need for Dell Sync?
What exactly is included with the new sync software?
According to this site http://www.syncdroid.net/dell-mobile-sync, the new (Nero) version of Dell Mobile Sync will only synchronise Contacts from Outlook, and will not synchronise Calendar, Tasks or Notes. It also says that Dell are removing their Tasks and Notes applications from the 2.2 build.
Can anybody who has upgraded to 2.2 please confirm that this is the case?
I just installed Windows Phone 7 on my HD2
I rang microsoft for a activation code, and got one,
Everything works, ut i cant use xbox live to download apps - they have to be manually installed.
But my problem is i cant get my contacts on it.
they are backed up in mobile device center from the last sync with WM6.5 and it cant find a windows phone 7 Driver..
How can i sync and get my contacts???
If you have them backed up on Outlook or Google email then go to your email on the phone and sync... Restart the device and you will see them their!

Yes, you can. Except for Tasks.

Not directly, only if you have an Exchange account. Otherwise it's through Google or Outlook and Hotmail connector.
I believe schapps is working on a 'WP7 Device Centre' which will mimic many of the old style Device Centre functionality. Not sure even then that it will allow direct sync with Outlook though.
Everything works fine except when I try to sync my phone with Zune it disconnects the internet. Anyone?
Are you running as admin on the machine?

Are you running on a restricted account or you are running as admin?
Also things worth rechecking....
Did you run XBMODD? and you copied the file into the Windows root ? Thereafter did you run connection setup ?
Make sure that this is being identified as a T9292 in the about section of your mobile...
Then go to Zune ... with your phone disconnected.. opt to "Forget the Phone " and reconnect your HD2 ... here you should be asked to name your phone ... click next ... finish ....
One last thing to recheck is to make sure that the regional settings of your machine and the regional settings on your HD2 (WP7) and your Windows Live account (for which you used to activate) are all the same. Also make sure that the time / date on the machine is synchronized. I ran into issues when I had some of the above wrong...
Hope this helps.
