2 issues with my HD2...anyone else have this? - HD2 General

i LOVe my HD2, but i noticed a few issues that i think can be resolved.
FIrst, when taking video, all it takes is like 5 seconds, then it takes an actual picture and stops recording. It is on video mode, and it is saving to my memory card...cant seem to find out why...
second, in outlook, most of the time i get an email and i have to click "download rest of message". it gets annoying. how can i make it so it downloads the whole messages WITH pictures automatically?
Thanks all...and BTW, i am using Kumars Classic Rom

Regarding the second issue, on the Mail slider touch Menu > Sync Options > Download size limit > Entire Message. You should also check Include file attachments.

Android 1.0 bugs and glitches

Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Awesome, thank you! Weird that the option isn't available in the same place as setting the vibration function for the phone. Has anybody found solutions to any of these other problems?
Thanks
That fixed it for me. Thanks..its so Funny because Ive been messing around with my phone for 2 days and Just found this answer...Thanks
Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

When I plug my G1 into my iMac the computer freezes and I need to do a hard restart. Is anyone else having this issue? My updates are current on my iMac and all of my other phones work without any problems.
when i play music and i turn of the screen, there is a jump every 15 seconds
here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

Give it a try see what you find. www.craigslist.org

known issues HD2 for ROM 1.66.404.1

Hi all,
I'm experiencing some issues with my HD2, and so far they haven't been solved by HTC. I doesn't seem to find a "known issue list" per ROM, but may be I'm overlooking somehow. please let me know if there are answers to the following problems/ questions:
1. I cannot influence on the default display order of first name/last name when I sync my contacts with outlook. it always saves the "wrong way around"
2. when sending "long SMS" (text over 2 messages) the second one rarely arrives at the recipient.
3. the SMS forwarding option from the SENSE UI does not work properly: it suggests to forward the last message from the conversation modus, although I selected another one to forward. when I press "ok" from the status menu and try again, it works fine.
4. the SMS conversation modus of the SENSE only shows me the last 25 messages. when I delete some of these I get the older ones back one by one, filling up till 25 each time. I don't want to be cut after 25. Is there a setting?
5. The twitter peep app. refuses to pop a sound when a new tweet arrives, although this is setup in the sounds settings
6. Where can I set that I don't want to keep all the old tweets until the end of times? I would like to drop history older than let's say 1 week.
7. What happened to the "post time" of the tweets older than one day in the peep app? I want to keep seeing those!!
8. When I use the Google search bar from the SENSE UI, I get a nice results list. When I click these results, I go to an internal Google page that holds the main text of the internet page. at the bottom of that page I can click to go to the actual page. How can I set it up to go immediately from the results page to the actual internet page?
9. On my device it seems to be impossible to connect a bluetooth car kit headset to my device. It recognizes 20 phones that are in cars next to me but not my headsets (only tested with nokia devices).
responses much appreciated. other issues: more than welcome, but please check your ROM first.
2nd attempt
On point 9. Go to the settings tab and then click "menu" and "All Settings".
Now go to the bluetooth icon and make sure your phone is discoverable.
I had this same issue trying to pair my phone with my GPS to use the hands free functionallity.
Make sure you turn off discoverable mode once the devices are paired.
Good luck.
1 - download contact fix availble from the forums
8 - you need to go into the settings of google and change it to desktop not mobile view

i dont use the internet tab i just start opera from a quicklink but once changed it should stay
1.
You have to save each contact as firstname and then surname. This you do when opened a contact, edit, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Press the big button "MORE". Here you can "Save as" and choose first name, then surname.
Yes, from what I know, you must do this with every contact individually. When it's done, you should be able to sync and they should stay that way. At least this is what I've done, and it works for me.
1. There's a cheap app in the Marketplace called Contact Changer that will display all your contacts how you'd like.
5. Yep that's annoying. It makes the alert noise when it updates but not when you get a new tweet. Odd.
8. There's a permanent setting in Google settings to change this.
is there any fix for No. 4?

Maybe someone here knows...

...how to correct these two issues I have.
#1 - When people send me a picture through text, it comes through as a slide show. How do I change that?
#2 - I can't seem to save a picture from MMS to the contact it came from. I get to a certain point and get a "force close" message. I can't even save the picture in a folder.
These problems could be because I'm a former WM user, but I haven't noticed anyone else having these issues.

1. Use Handcent app from the Market instead. That slideshow thing seems to be a common gripe I've seen posted
2. Not sure, but I'm thinking Handcent might fix that too since it will be handling mms also.
What a sweet app!
It worked PERFECTLY!
Thank you so much!
How do you turn off the standard HTC messeging app?
Start htc messaging, menu-settings-uncheck notifications.

Usually, when using non-stock messaging apps such as Handcent, rather than turning off the stock messaging app you would just disable the notifications for it. This is done by going into the stock messaging app, hitting the "menu" softkey while in your general messages list and hitting settings. Once in that menu, you would uncheck the "Received notification" box. Handcent will handle your notifications only from this point on.
Click slideshow, tap the picture and hit pause to look at it. Hit the bottom right button and check the image, hit done and now you have saved the image
Just in case your like me and say handcent is way too iphoneish

can't you also just use savemms to save the picture?

[PROBLEM] HTC Messaging MMS Glitch

Hello All, I have the HTC Messaging Client v1.5.20162424.00, along with Message_Enhancement_1_2_20163924_00_huashan_0.90, and have the following issue, even when switching throughout different client versions... I believe its a registry entry I incorrectly set...
The issue is: Something is preventing me from Saving my MMS, and wont let the menu pop up that lets me to select to save.
Whenever I get an MMS, it comes through crystal clear, however the viewing screen is glitched; it allows me to drag the picture up and down and leaves a pixel trail as seen in the picture below, and where normally I would be able to click the picture and get the pop up menu to Save, Share, etc, it just pulls up the Slideshow Timer...
Does anyone know what may cause this? I have been trying for hours to find the registry entry.........
Image of glitch is attached to this post.

[Q] How do I fix these GMail problems?

I don't know when this started to happen but there is something seriously wrong with GMail.
I couple of things I've noticed but cannot fix are:
1. I have a security cam that sends me pictures when it detects motion. I receive these emails in my inbox and when I open it up, I can see the thumbnails. Then I usually click on a thumbnail and it will open up the full version (about 500k) from which I can pinch to zoom etc. What it used to do is it opens a new "window" which shows the thumbnail with a progress bar below it showing it's downloading. Then when it's finished, it will show a the full version in full screen. What happens now is nothing... the "window" pops up with nothing and then after a while, I'm staring and a completely black screen. I press the back button, then click the thumbnail again, and this time it shows up.
2. What prompted me to write this post is this problem. For the past year or so, I have setup my home phone to send me the voicemails as an email attachment. The attachment can be sent as a WAV or MP3 format. It was set to WAV. When I got the email and see the attachment, I usually just click on it (not save/download it), and it would just popup a dialog and start playing the file on the phone speaker. NOW, all I get when I perform the same action is "No app can open this attachment for viewing." So I changed the setting on my home phone to send MP3 files knowing that I have MP3's on my phone and they play fine in the Google Music Player. But, again, same damn message! So this time I saved the attachment to the sdcard, opened up Music Player which found it, and played fine.
I don't quite understand how GMail could get f'ed up like this. Anyone else having these problems? How do I fix this?
Oh, if this post is in the wrong forum, please let me know.
Thanks.

I just noticed the same behavior as your Problem #2. Our voicemail has been configured to deliver MP3 messages as attachments to our Google Apps For Business Account for about 1 year. Same error message.
Gmail App version 4.7.2 (967015)
Android 4.4.2
Just rolled back to Gmail App version 4.2.2 with the same result

After doing a clean wipe and reinstalling/upgrading apps one by one, I figured out the problem. It has to do with the latest update to Google Play Music. Uninstall the latest update for that crap program and your attachments will play again.
