Anybody here using Yahoo! Go?

I just discovered it this morning.. ( i know it's been there for ages, i just had the time now. hehe) and I installed it. It's very useful as I dont have any isp pop3 mail provider. But my memory has dropped.
What's your experience? Anyone here knows how to make just store ten emails in our inbox instead of 20++?
thanks!

Hi,
I am using it for month and a half and pretty much satisfied with it, so far. I would like to have the option of syncing my Sent items too.
And would like to see from Yahoo! the version of the software currently available on the site and correction of update procedure since it makes you loose all of the previous settings.
Didn't notice any increased memory usage, well not more then usual and I am storing attachments on my SD card.
I am not sure if I understood the question about the numbers of emails...

Have been testing the appa few Weeks ago - yahoo mail has some nice features, but after all google mail is much better for me.
Syncin' with the yahoo account is very simple and worked fine for me. But i dislike the client software on the ppc - one of the issues is, that it only works with POutlook, other products like Pocket Informant dont start if being activated through the app...

Sorry bout the confusing question. I think I was up too early and I'm a little addled.. ok, nuff excuses..
anyway, what i meant was up to how many email messages are shown in your inbox? Is there any setting to say that it should only sync the ten most recent messages? Can I delete the email from my phone? Im scared that if I delete it in my fone, it might also delete it from my yahoo web inbox when I sync.
hmmm.. now ive asked too many questions.... sorry & thanks in advance for your reply..

where do you download a HTC Universal Yahoo Go?
When I go to their homepage they don't allow me to...

I loved this app but since my os is wm6 i cant run it

Limitations of UK Version?

Hi, I have been a long time Win Mobile user and have just changed over to the G1. I am finding it very fast and generally streamlined, however there seem to be a few very basic features missing which the US website promised would be there:
1) Why can I not click telephone numbers in my emails and have them call automatically?
2) Same with adressess and Google Maps
3) No voice dial?
4) Why can I not select multiple emails and organise my folders properly ie delete trash etc.
If there are any workarounds for these it would be much appreciated - otherwise roll on RC10

So are you saying the dial from email works on the US version? Kinda sucks if so.
I can dial phone numbers from the calendar app, so why not the email?
Oddly the iPhone is the other way round, dial from emails and not calendar
Blackberry works both ways. Given time I am sure most of these things will be addressed.

selecting multiple emails is in 1.5 already, it does irritate me as well on the current firmware...

Best app for PC sms and backup?

Hi can anybody give me a tip on a good app for managing sms's from my pc and also backing the up. I like to keep me sms's when i upgrade the rom but pim backup 1.8 messes it up. So anybody got a good one???

maybe you can try sync to myphone.microsoft.com ?

I use Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5
It works through Outlook & i've been using it since my MDA. Its not free unless you know how to Google.

Try SPB backup and for SMS try powerSMS

I actually googled the question this morning and eventually found this looks cool just installed it and am testing it now. It's called dashwire and does everything from text messages to contacts and photos
http://dashwire.com/

It seems most of these apps have bugs in them. The ones i focused most on was powersms and myphone from microsoft.
Powersms messes up the treaded messeging, so that the cronologic part in the conversation(sms) is not correct. Myphone is buggy and does not sync all sms's.
Any other good ones??
What i want is be able to upgrade my phone ( custome firmvare) and the be able to restore me sms's in the correct order cronoligicaly.

Why do you need to keep all your sms? I've flashed my ROM a few times and only thing I like to back up is my contacts. I get way to many sms to care to back them up.

I will second Jeyo Mobile Extender 2.5. Been using it for sometime now. It does not sync MMS and if there is MMS, the sync just stops. Guess it's a bug but it's the best for me so far.
You can't restore the sms....which i don't mind cos if i need to look for old sms, i just launch MS Outlook on the PC and search for it.
It's not free but.......

you can actually move the SMS back to your device with JME 2.5, but yeah, took me a while to figure out the MMS thing. now i just delete any MMS that i send/receive right after i look at them.

Well i gave mymobile from ms another try and it seemed to work very well the second time around.
I like to have the latest sms's awailible y i dont know hehe, but yea it get quite many after a while....

I use PPCPimBackup - Freeware

A few Leo/HD2 questions

HI,
As some of you may have seen on a previous post I am giving some serious consideration of swapping from an iphone 3G to the HD2, and before I make my mind up I would like to ask a few more questions about the device, mainly the windows operation system as I've never had a windows phone before. I have been to numerous stores and none have the HD2 for me to trial so please accept my apologies for asking so many questions. It would be so much easier if I could get to try it for myself. Anyway here goes (sorry for the referals to the iphone):-
Can I drag and drop word, excel documents etc from my laptop to the phone and view and manipulate the documents on the phone?
I'm assuming you can arrange photos in individual folders, eg holidays, friends etc?
When you open a photo folder can you view the pictures as thumbnails (as on the iphone), or do you have to scroll through each picture to get to the one you want?
To use email (hotmail and googlemail for me) do you have to go via the internet, or is there an app as on the iphone, and does this sync with the accounts online ie if you delete on the phone will it have deleted when I view mail online?
Is it true that the internet on the HD2 does not support flash, and if so how will this affect my internet viewing?
Cheers

Yes, but it obviously needs to be a version of the document that can be read by the office applications on the phone (they are Microsoft office apps, but they're office 2007, not later.) It's easy enough to do "save as" on the PC and save as office 2007.

Yes, you can drag and drop and create folders and sub-folders, just like on your PC.

You can open folders in the file explorer, which is obviously just a list of files. You can also use the Microsoft Picture & Video app, or the HTC Albums app. Both have their pros and cons, but they're very similar apps. They both give thumbnail lists of your images.

You can add mutliple email accounts to the email tab in the Sense UI, which supports POP3 and IMAP email accounts, so you don't have to use an internet browser to read your emails. (You can also add a windows live account to the windows live app, which has its own benefits, such as messaging and push email.)
Your actions will affect your emails (such as deleting), but doesn't work too well the other way round. For instance, if I've got a notification of a new email and I delete it using my PC, it still shows as a new email on my phone. A little annoying, but hardly the end of the world.

Opera does not currently support flash, but IE does. It's not the most up-to-date version (as compared to a PC), but it's good enough for most flash viewing. If you're doing something like viewing youtube, you're better off with the youtube app, and if you want to view some flash intensive sites, you can try other browsers, such as skyfire.
I think that answers your questions, but let us know if you're not sure about anything.

Yes you can do this, the HD2 can support a lot of formats, excel, Word, PFD etc.

Windows Mobile is much like any computer OS, you can create folders and files much the same way. So yes you can organise your photos in any folders you like, or in the case of HTCs overlay of Windows Mobile, organise by Album.

This depends where and what program you use to open the folder. If you use the Sense UI overlay (HTCs default) then the folder will open with thumbnails. From there you can open photos and rotate and zoom by pinching the photos and dragging them around. If you use Windows default file explorer or Total Commander you will just see the images as files.

If you use gmail (as I do also) you can read your email from the main UI on the HD2 without having to run a seperate app (though unlike the iPhone you can run several apps at the same time). However if you prefer there is also a Java Gmail app that will also run on the HD2

The HD2 like many WinMo phones can of course support Flash. The default Opera browser version 9.7 on the HD2 won't support it. However later Beta versions now support it. You can also use the very excellent SkyFire browser (free) which will also play flash and of course youtube and more all within the browser.

Just to add, there is fix to add flash support for opera
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770
also there is beta trial version for office 2010 so you can open up to 2010 versions of office files.

@jagnet Beat you to it

Thanks for the help guys, I'm pretty much sold I think. Another question I've thought of is relating to contacts and email.
As it's a windows device I'm assuming contacts will sync with outlook? Will the email addresses in my contacts automatically sync with the email app so when I use email all the email adresses I need are already there?
With regards to the office docs, I'm currently running office 2010 beta, but it saves the files as 97-2003 docs so I'm assuming this will be OK right?
Do you think they'll be a fix for the emails not deleting from the phone if you delete them on your PC any time soon? LIke you say, not the end of the world, but can imagine it might get a touch tiresome
Cheers

Yes, and yes.
You can use outlook to sync contacts, emails, texts etc., either via an exchange server (using your data connection), or via the cable when connected to your PC. I personally don't use this though, as I don't use outlook at home. Far too much like work lol
Saving docs as office 2007 docs will make them usable with the office software on the phone.

Honestly, I doubt it. This is the first time I've ever mentioned it myself, and I've never seen anyone else mention it on here. Besides, I very rarely use a PC for emails now. I've had emails in my pocket for about 4 or 5 years now, so I really only use a PC if I want to send large emails, or attach stuff that's on the PC.
I wouldn't hold my breath on a fix for that to be honest.

Just to add my thoughts on the HD2---
I've had mine since launch and the product is still buggy. HTC are throwing out updates (backdoor and official) on a regular basis. The main bugs for me which I'm not sure are cured yet are SMS getting stuck in the outbox and also the touch screen becomes active during a call which means the side of your face dials digits or hangs the calls.
Regarding email- I moved from Hotmail to Gmail because Hotmail does not support Activesync. I wanted to sync over the air my email, contacts and calendar. Hotmail only supports email and contacts. Gmail works great.
I'm hoping that come the end of January that all the main bugs will be ironed out. HOPING!!! or Praying!!!

A combination of the native windows live features and microsoft myphone would have resolved that issue, and given you the ability to sync a lot more too

For me emails delete from handset when deleted from PC (both exchange and hotmail) and vice-versa.
You can also set POP email accounts (i.e. gmail, hotmail) to sync at 'x' intervals (or constantly) so in affect it then turns it into push email service, which is nice - drains the battery though so i sync every couple of hours and then hit "Send/Recieve" if i want to manually update folders.

HD2 Notification Screen
Would someone please help me with this issue I have with the notification screen, I am not sure whether this was caused by installation of CM WiFi, but the notification screen is not showing any more when I touch the notification area, instead individual boxes pop out e.g. comm manager, any idea how to fix this.

Ask that question in a new thread. This is called "hijacking" and is considered rude

I thought I read that the SMS issue had been resolved?
Is the touchscreen becoming active during calls a common fault?

At first i tried setting up my gmail account using google synch to be able to use active sync to do pushmail. It worked very badly imo, when it was set up to sync "as items arrive" the synchronization was very bad, the time between actually receiving an email and it showing up on the device was very long for example, sometimes i had to sync it manualy.
So it set up my gmail account using imap. The downside is you don't really have the pushmail feature and the minimum delay between the "send/receive"s is 5 minutes (although 5 minutes is "quasi-instantaneous" really). The upside is that it works better. And it syncs up the read/unread status, you can delete a message on either your PC or your phone and it will impact the other one, which is pretty cool.
However it get quite weird behaviours sometimes. For example if i close outlook mobile and the device goes to sleep, when I wake it back up I get the outlook inbox directly, i don't know why. Also I did some tests and although my "send/receive" frequency is set to 5 minutes sometimes it seems like i have to do it manually ...
Is anyone having the same kind of trouble (with gmail or other accounts) ? Maybe I should start a thread about those issues ?

I've just had a thought, Office mobile does come preinstalled on the hd2 right?

Yes it does

[SOLVED] Manila takes up to 100% CPU-load after Soft-Reset

Hi,
my problem is, that manila takes up to 100% of the CPU-load all the time. Everything is extremely laggy. It's hard to do anything on my phone.
After a time manila goes to 0% and then filesys.exe goes up to 100%.
This happens after the SD-Card Storage update from HTC.
I have hard-resetted the phone...but nothing changed...
Please help
//EDIT:
After 5 Minutes everything is normal. The problem appers only after a soft-reset...

No idea? The Problem is really getting on my nerves.

Get SKTools and check what is in the startup.

i believe its the twitter client, the issue has been there since the early dutty leo roms for the blackstone i tried, the lag dissapears when the posts update! its weird because when you do a manual update the little spinning update symbol stops after a few seconds but the posts don't appear for about 5 mins, again causing my device to lag!

Strange...the problem disappeared.
Anyway, thanks for your answers!

do you have multiple e-mail accounts set up with lots of e-mails? That happens to me, but only with GMail acc which I completely synced (and yes, attachments are on the microSD card)

Very good point! I got IMAP and about 2000 emails in my inbox...This could really be the problem. Thank you! (The problem appeared again right now...)

You was absolutely right. Moved all emails to another folder. Now everything is fine. I really thank you!

How do you move all emails to another folder.. eg. SD card..??

I moved the emails on my IMAP emailserver, not on the HD2.

Thing is that my problem is associated to GMail account, where I connected another 2 IMAP accounts, and I cannot move mails from one folder to another. I resolved mine by switching to GMail Mobile, via Web Browser. I lost the notifications about e-mails and automatic checking, but the phone isn't slow now at least..

I wonder why the email client sometimes downloads all the emails instead the emails of the last 3 days (which can be set in the settings).

Having same issue with Raphael/Win6.5/Touchflo 3d
Have two accounts hotmail and yahoo, each with only a few emails, do not use twitter, I watch it upon softboot and it runs manilla.exe all the way up, I too wonder what its doing, I like it, however it pretty much makes the phone useless, I dump it from SPB Shell 3.5.3 which is running much quicker these days.
It appears that new release of touchflow2 has a few memory leaks as it drains the batt hard with all that processor.
I am curious if its not the email, I only have 12 stocks to monitor, however I have a few facebook contacts, could it be choking on that?
