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

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.

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?

8. Where are the settings for that? I have the Mobile View unthicked in Settings but still, facing the same issue.
Does the Windows Mobile Email client allow for automatic HTML download/display (like most other phones do today) as a preview or even after the actual email is being displayed. Is there a special setting to make this happen? I am coming from a Blackberry 9700 (a great device) and I am used to seeing certain emails in HTML even in preview mode. With the HD2, I only see text. Is there a Fix to this?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this too. With my iPhone, it automactically d/l the HTML email with all pics but on HD2, it doesn't. Something about "protecting my privacy". Is there anyway to make it auto download without clicking the links?
im with you guys on that. i thought i could just activate it but i guess not. Plz...if anyone knows a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys welcome to Windows Phone's. I have been dealing with this on every one of my devices, it is one of my very few complaints with WM. I know you can have the images automatically download on iPhone and blackberry, but you cant with WM or even Android for that point. I do remember a thread about the feature awhile back and it was mentioned that it was actually a security feature built into Windows Mobile.

Or you could just...

go to your inbox , select menu-tools-options, tap on account , select download size settings,
there you can choose message format , select do you want just text, headers or entire message (with pics) to be downloaded. or you can just set attachment limit for autodownload.
try reading phone manual next time

I have changed these settings every time I set up my emails accounts after every time I flash a new ROM (sometimes 4-5 times weekly) from my 8125, Moto Q, Wing, Vogue, Diamond, Touch Pro, Imagio, Touch Pro2, and now HD2. Yes those settings are there but to get the picture to display, you have to hit Internet pictures blocked and then you can click Download Internet pictures.
As fas as I know there is no solution to that. It is the way Pocket Outlook works. On one hand that is a problem, since pictures don't get downloaded, on the other hand though, it saves a bit of bandwidth and time, if you don't really want to download all these pictures.
I got used to that. At least the HD2 has a great screen and the Pocket Outlook client works really well on it.
Anybody know why once the pics load, they are jaggie/low res? I know this is nitpicking but c'mon, there has to be a way to make them sharp or is it due to Opera Mini?
Hi,
Nowhere in the manual does it state how to enable a multiple selection of emails.
any help would be appreciated.
I have 462. Hahhahaa!
Go into your mail hub and press the ... (dots) on the bottom right, the second icon that looks like a checklist and says "select" under it allows you to select multiple emails.
Thank you!

Just checked it out. I was here already but don't you still have to check each box individually?
I want to slect all 400+ emails that came in after I set the email up and delete them in one fell swoop.
How do I do this?
Thanks!
It would be easier to delete the account and set it up again.
You can also touch to the left of the email, and it will open the "multiple select" boxes.
If you cannot "select all" and delete, this will be a major disdavantage for this phone.
I receive 40 emails a day.
Please don't tell me each individual email needs to be checked.

I get over 300 emails a day and I do not find the need to delete more than a handful of emails at one time. the clicking to the left approach and selecting multiple works perfectly fine for me.
what emails are you deleting? Is it spam? Does your ISP or company have a good spam filter?

If you receive 300 emails a day or 600 desktop/laptop), wouldn't it be nice to shift/highlight or "select all"?
You are checking 300 on your phone alone.
My 2 year old HTC Fuze could delete all in 2 clicks.

Then go back to your Fuze... if you are asking a question, ask it. If you are complaining about not being able to delete X amount of emails find a workaround... like going on your computer and deleting them from there rather than your phone.
you do realize that unless you're using a pop server, if you delete emails on your comp it'll reflect on your device?
wouldn't it make sense to just delete the spam and whatnot from your computer where it is easier and just read what you need to on the device?
I admit i like keeping a clean account, but damn man 300 is a lot of emails.

I am not complaining. I am asking mr fanboy!!!
I haven't found a way to select all, but if you want to deal with just the unread, you could always shift to the Unread section of your message hub for that account.
Is this Exchange or POP based? I guess I'm really confused about why you want to delete all messages so often (as are so many others) and we just want to help you the best we can.
Well I appreciate your help but I think it is what it is. I personally like "selecting all" 40-50 emails at the end of day and deleting with 1 click.
Nobody sees the benefit of this?

Everyone has their own preferences and finds certain things annoying that others might see no harm in. I agree with the previous poster that if this phone is not to your liking, you may find it better to just go with the old saying 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and stay with whatever phone you had previously that performed all these tasks for you.
As I've been poking around these forums to see what other people think of the phone, as I purchased one as well, I've noticed that you seem to only have problems and even stated that "this phone is for kids". Not many people seem to take issue with not being able to sync over 500kb worth of info (which I'm pretty sure is false as I've synced 3 e-mail accounts with different contact info, photos, and hundreds of emails in each), and I don't think most people will take issue with not being able to delete 300 emails at once from their phone. That said, you could probably accomplish it easier by doing it from a computer or accessing your e-mail through the browser instead of the app.
I don't mean to come off as harsh, but as it was stated earlier, this just seems like complaining under the disguise of asking a question, but if you really do find these issues so staggering, the beauty of this situation is you have plenty of other options.
I keep getting a notification to request friends from HTC Sense Friends. However all the friends are just listed as "Orange" with the option Request or Ignore.
How can I disable this?
Thanks
What happens is HTCSense.com syncs all your contacts to it's database. In your case, you have "Orange" in your phone book.
When someone else with "Orange" in their phone book (you can imagine that it's quite a lot!) syncs up with HTCSense.com, then HTCSense.com goes "Oh look! This is the same person, maybe these people are buddies!" and suggests that you might be friends with them.
I get it with "Vodafone" and "Voicemail" too. I also had "Aaaaa" which was a remnant of an old featurephone that I would always end up pocket-calling (was one of those phones where pressing the select button takes you into the menu, then the phone book, then the first contact, then calls it - so I put a dummy entry in to stop it from calling anyone!)
Easiest way around it is to rename your contacts to something else. So you could change "Orange" to "Orange Customer Services" - however you'll probably find that someone else has that too...so you might need to get more obscure with your naming!
Or you just disable HTCsense sync (Options->Accounts and sync).
If you don't really use it, there's no point of it draining ur battery while u sleep
what exactly does HTCsense sync do ?
i mean if we stop it from syncing , will that affect the sense.com website and we wont be able to track the phone or ring/lock it ?
Hi all, I'm getting the same thing. At first I was ignoring them but they kept coming back so I clicked the Request button to see if it would go away, but no it says I have them as friends but offers more of the same contacts (main one being "show balance") to add as freinds. Can someone please help cos this happends every second day?

Sorry about that I should have addressed it as I'm still getting the same thing. I did change them by removing letters and it was still showing up and found out it's the number its finding, but after all that I found out that it was O2 numbers from when I joined HTC Sence with a HD2 desire rom and now I'm with vodafone and they aren't applicable so have now deleted them
very sorry about that, I am a Noob
