Anyone else having this issue?
1)Add new event.
2)Fill in "What"
3)Fill in "Where"
4)Fill in "Description"
5)Save
6)Edit the event you just created
7)Text in "Where" field will now be in the "Description" and the "Where" field.
Anyone know of a fix for this?
Thanks.

I haven't checked that, but I noticed they did not fix the overlapped appointments warning. It does not warn you still if you overlap two events, and it should. I thought they would add that feature...
Same for me
Only I have am experiencing that the Where field shows on the Where and Event Description fields.

Yea that's what I meant to type, I made a mistake typing it out. Thanks for checking.
I am experiencing the exact same issue. On edit 'Description' field is overwritten by contents of 'Where' field. Calendar is seriously crippled with this flaw.
Here's the issue illustrated.
Bump...
Sorry to just push this back up. But are other EVO owners really not having this problem? Is the calendar just not getting used by owners on this forum?
This bug is a very big deal for a lot of people, especially persons using this device for business, like I am.

It's a bug, it's making the rounds on the interwebs, I'm sure there will be a patch out for it soon, probably that and the rooted PRI issue where people are going back down to 1.34 rather than 1.40 which is the most recent one.
We'll see what Google does.

Hi guys, I've had my HD2 for a few weeks now and i'm loving it (Just come from an iPhone aswell). But there are two things anoying me, and I want to fix them.
1. Is there anyway to stop the Squares showing in the Email preview, as far as I know they are image placeholders and they make the email preview look a mess.
2. Is there a way to download all the images in the email message automatically. Because at the moment its telling me its blocked due to privicy settings and I have to click to download them in every email..
Thanks for any help guys.
Hiya, that is annoying me too maybe it is a limitation of sense 2.5? and I am pretty certain the other bit about internet content being blocked such as pictures cannot be turned off.
I have tried this myself by downloading all the email +attachments but nothing so far works.
Anyone know a fix for these like the original poster commented on?
Yeah, I'd like to know if there's a reg hack or similar for that, does my head in as well. It completely spoils an otherwise very good email app

This looks like a font issue to me. Maybe there's characters in the emails that aren't in the font that the email preview tab uses. I don't know, but that's what it looks like.

You can't make it automatically download images for security reasons. Embedded images can be the cause of much spam, and can also be used (in rare cases) for spreading malware.
Also, the email application that you see when you click an email in the Sense UI is actually part of Windows, not Sense.
I'll be very suprised if you ever find a way to make it automatically download images, and I wouldn't want my phone to become virus-ridden so would never use it if it did exist.
The squares you see in the email preview are the symbols for the "enter" key.
When you get an email from someone that has more lines and that person pressed enter or more enters at the end of a line those enters end up being squares in the email preview.
Unfortunately you cant do anything about it. I'm a software developer and i know about this issue from my work. It's HTC's job to eliminate the squares and it has to be done in the code. We can't do it by ourselves.
I would love to have the images downloaded automatically as well, but Microsoft didn't provided an option for this. At least let us chose whether we want to be secure or not.

It's not that at all. It's any character that is not defined in the font that's used. If you like, I can take a screenshot of an email that is FULL of boxes, and I know for a fact that they're not all line breaks/page returns.
The enter key doesn't cause it, or you'd see it at the end of every line that has a line break/page return, and you don't. But anyway, this isn't resolving the issue, so I'll bow out
Yeah, i'm sure the font doesn't cover all the characters... well... its HTC's fault on this one.

Well, i could suggest that someone with good knowledge of wm should look into the fonts being used in the emails. Maybe they can be changed. I'm sure new fonts can be installed but i don't know how to change them and where.
Its also possible that this issue is unsolvable because of the current coding of the email tab in sense. We need to know for sure what's causing the problem.
any follow up on this guys ?? would like to get it sorted
I have heard already of this android bug from the Google nexus one forum but now it happened to me too. I had maybe 6 sms threads in the stock android sms application. I sent a question via sms to one person and it appears in the right thread. I get an sms back from another person answering the question. The second person who answered is one of the 6 threads actually in my sms application. This is really a serious problem....
Google has a serious problem to fix. I can't imagine if I sent a text to the wrong person. This is why I won't touch the stock messaging app. Handcent all the way.

Don't feel so safe in the google forum thread people with chompSMS and Handcent could reproduce the same problem. So it's much deeper in the android system.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?tid=39b5123a94a7a99a&hl=en
strange, this happened to me once and i text a lot (at least 3k a month). does anyone know if this is unique to the n1 or happens on all androids?
I ran into this too. It even appeared like i sent it to the proper recipient. I got a lot of wtf?'s later in the night. Did a power cycle to fix it and everything has been cool since I've updated.
My G1 used to do this also, I was starting to think I was alone on this one.
Im not saying the problem doesnt exist, or putting you guys down at all etc, but in my 3k texts a month ive never seen this yet. I guess the closest ive come is trying to quick press a thread added with rotating the screen at the same time = possibly click on wrong thread, and if in landscape you dont see the previous text.
I don't text too much, but I have noticed sometimes the conversation drops off after I send something, or at least I thought I was sending something.
i've never experienced this issue yet either, and i've used handcent since day one just because of this. but i cant imagine the trouble i would have if some of my texts went to the wrong person. seriously.
its possible i'll never know if someone got the wrong text and just never told me...

I never rotate my phone to landscape while texting, so I can exclude this theory. I also realized if you want to copy paste something into a sms it always jumped back to the wrong thread....not satisfied....I text my coworkers and friends and absolutely don't want a mix up of recipients.
This happened to me friend's nexus one today. He was running CM RC1
this also happened to a friend of mine with galaxy s.
This is disastrous

It is. I think a lot of people are not aware of this problem. I you only text things like "how are you" you would probably not even realize that you get the answer from the wrong person. If it is delicate some wrong recipient would probably ignore the message instead of complaining. So you never know if it by accident went to the wrong person...
Note to self: be careful what you text until this gets fixed.
people with the original droid also had this problem occur on their phones. its gotta be something with android OS...but what could it be that google hasnt found at this point.
I find that if I text something, then go back to the main message list and try to open another conversation before it has finished "refreshing" it will open a random thread instead of the one I intended to. As far as I know I have not sent a text to a wrong contact. To give you an idea of my usage I have used 2841 messages and I have 10 days left in my billing cycle.
I don't text enough to notice a problem like this, but I'm guessing Google Voice is immune?
Thankfully this bug hasn't happened to me yet (that I know of). Someone hand me the biggest piece of wood you can find (keep your wood jokes to yourself ) so I can knock on it.
I been helpign my friend with updates for his phone and such and he was telling that when he was on stock that in the dial pad he was able to type the last names or a part of a name and it would show up as a option from the drop down..
But after i installed him a dk28 build it stopped working that way but with first names only. I have a captivate and when i was on stock, I definitely didnt have that feature.
Does anyone know if this is true? Any way to make it work the way he was telling me?
I would really appreciate it..
Thanks
I can confirm that mine (DK28) only searches first name, weird.

Do you remember how it worked when you were on stock?
Well, no, just saying it does in fact only search by FIRST name. Which is odd, considering the way I have my contacts set up... first name should not really be relevant...
So I'm thinking it isn't "first name" as much as it is "starts with".
I don't know if this is different than the way stock worked, but knowing that it is "starts with" makes more sense. I mean, every time you typed "a" or "e" you would get so many results if it searched as "contains"...
Contains would make more sense with what my friend wants to do.. Alot of his contacts cause of work have the name of the company before the first name to differ which person it is but also there is a "-" in the company which prevents him from searching exactly how he wants
Anyone else having issues with their contacts? My contacts show up, however none have any phone numbers. I noticed this first after Dexters 1.2 update and am still having the issuew with the 1.3 update.
Anyone else?

I noticed that the Phone app is missing after upgrading to Mod 1.3. Could that be a part of this issue as well? Maybe it won't show numbers if there is no app seen to utilize them?

What rom were you originally running that had a phone app?
I think it's not so much that it is not displaying phone info for lack of phone app. I think it is just the contacts app itself. Someone might try using the contacts app from another device, it might work better.
Yeah, I don't think it's related to the phone app.
At any rate I think I'll be selling my A7 (both of them) as I'm out of a job now and could use the money more than the device. My g tablet will bet me buy for now.

After loading Dexters mod 1.1 I noticed the phone dialer was present. When I went to mod 1.3 it was gone. I really didn't see a purpose for it originally but I have seen some posts here about using apps to call with A7.
Would the dialer be necessary for that? I was looking in the market for a replacement. Is there another source?
Ever since I upgraded my 3g Xoom to 3.1 (using BDR's flashable image, thanks again!) I have an issue when using apostrophes in communications. When I write "I'll" for example, it looks fine on my screen. However, once I send that email to it's recipient it translates to "I'll" on their end.
Is this new to 3.1 or is it a known issue? I have never seen it before.
I saw a couple posts referencing "'" but not in this manner.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Conspiracy Theory: Every fifth grade English teacher in the U.S. partnered with Google to, once and for all, stop our use of contractions. *dum dum dum*
yes, i noticed it too. oddly, it seems to only happen when i reply to emails originally composed in html. i noticed it last week for the first time but i don't recall if it was before or after the upgrade to 3.1. it is definitely there in 3.1 though.
Yeah, I'm not 100% sure when it started but I'm sure I never noticed it before 3.1.
It's annoying trying to not use apostrophes in emails

I just noticed this...very annoying.
did you modify any system files? what keyboard are you using?
Not extra mods beyond the flashed 3.1 from bdr. Now running the new 1.6 tiamat as well and still have the issue.
I'm using thumbkeyboard but used that in the past without noticing the issue.
I have noticed something new. When I view the Xoom General board using the XDA app and see a post with a quote or apostrophe in the 1 line preview its replaced with ' or ". However, when I open the thread it is displayed correctly.
Very odd.
Edit: you guys see "' or "." above? I entered that as """ above and it changed to " when I clicked submit...
Is this an interpretation problem with HTML codes?

I don't have a solution but I can validate the same issue.
I am not experiencing the issue. I just sent myself a test email using the gmail client and used ' a lot, but it showed up properly on both the xoom and on the computer I sent it to.
Oh, and I'm on BRD's 3.1.
keyboard changes
I also noted that the colon : symbol is gone from the keyboard when typing an address using the browser. For example the "About:debug" command could not be typed as the key was gone. I had to go into a search box to type the command and then cut and paste it into the address bar.
Another google conspiracy....
Next to the space bar in the browser. Select the URL bar and the forward slash button immediately to the right button gets the colon as a shift selection. Just long press the that button and you get about:debug entered with no problems.

validated.
Only noticed it today. In gmail. Grr. Stock. Rooted. 3.1
Yeah, it has become increasingly annoying to me.

Hi everyone,
This issue was tracked internally on the team and has been fixed in our codebase. It will go out with in a future system update. Thanks to everyone for their patience.
I just wanted to clarify a few things and repeat what some people on this thread have already said:
- the issue exhibits itself only when you reply to a message, and not when composing new mails
- the issue exhibits itself if you are using an Exchange 2007 (or newer) account
- the issue should not be fixed after a reboot
- the issue should not be seen with IMAP, POP3, or Exchange 2003 accounts
If you are seeing an issue which does not fit the above criteria, you may be seeing something else, and it would be useful to identify your device type and version, as well as precise steps to reproduce the issue on a separate issue entry.
Thanks!

There's your fix... 3.1.1 or 3.2 probably
This issue still hasn't been fixed as it happens all the time on my Xoom which I only bought a few weeks ago. Standard out of the box Xoom. Using MS exchange email client. It works fine on GMail.
