Help !! -Unable to download Mail Attachments HD2

Can anyone shed any light on what I am doing wrong here ?
When I get an Outlook Mail with an attachment (googlesync) - I open it , and there is the link at the top of them mail , I click on it , it says "downloading" but does nothing - I can confirm there is no file downloaded as I have searched it from top to bottom !!
If I hold on the link , the "Save as" bar appears , but does nothing , it simply stays there until I tap it , at which point it dissapears .
I have tried 3 ROM's and it does the same in each one (now running the Vodafone 1.72 ROM)
I sincerely hope this is down to me and I am doing something wrong ! I don't mind making an idiot of myself on a forum if it gets me the answer and I am able to do this most basic (but essental !!) Task.
Any ideas ? or anyone else suffered this problem ?
It is related to certificate.Manually download the Exchange certificate and install it.
Excellent , thanks very much !!

[Q] Tricky question. How to unlock phone?

Hi!
I'm Johnson. My friend tried unlocking my phone and it got locked.
The phone is currently running on the SD version of AmeriCanAndroid AOSP HD2 GB2.3.7 CM7.2
The phone's wifi has been switched off and i don't know how to switch it on with the phone locked.
Further I had enabled 2-step verification for my Droid and an application specific password for it which I don't know though I know the real password of my account.
Pretty tricky huh? ...any solutions on how to recover the phone without hard resetting the device?
well ... the only solution short of resetting would be to wish you luck!?! sorry no help i know but it sounds like you have quite the delima!
cheers

Try fresh installing and then copying over the old data img? I have no clue if that would possibly work but it's the only thing I could think of, so try it anyway Good luck.
EDIT: This is a youtube video showing how to bypass the lock screen, doubt it still works on GB but hey, why not?
I have got an idea, but dont know how to work out( jus coz i dont know which is the file i am going to talk about). Find the file which saves ur personal info like passwords acounts etc. Copy an untouched file ( the very same one) from the zip of the rom( the very same rom which u have on ur phone now), make a cwm flashable zip with it in the way the new file will replace ur current file in ur phone. Flash it. Done.
All i can help u is, if u find out which file is it,and upload an untouched one from the roms zip,i can make u a cwm flashable zip for it.

SD Android, everything is stored on the data.img as far as I know, and CWM etc is completely out of the question. Anyway, I assume he's done something or the other by now because he's hardly going to be able to survive by using WinMo for a day

i'm using an sd build
everything's in the data.img
thing is ... either i'll havto switch wi-fi on and login or i'll have to extract contacts, messages etc. from data.img ... anyideas?
heyy! u mallu?! xD
I still have the old data.img ... so i could still replace that in the android folder and boot it ...but it's of no use coz after it boots up...it asks for the application specific password that i dont know...
so ...
-either i'll somehow have to get wi-fi on, or
-i'll have to extract contacts, messages etc. from data.img through the comp
any ideas?
Google search for some thing that can mount data.img of nandroid backup in pc or phone.

HTC HD2 windows phone problem with Market Place

Hello guys yesterday i decided to install android on my HTC HD2 which was running windows mobile at that time , i couldn't manage to install android ( i got stuck on 1 step ) so i repeated the process and installed windows 8 , It's working fine , but I can't enter the marketplace ( thats the main reason why i decided to install it , because i need a app called Viber so that i can talk for free and write messages with my girlfriend and friends , because here in Bulgaria its very expensive ). Anyway , i have contacted Windows Support and I have received my Code , I have activated it and i still have the same problem , When i click on it , it says me : apps , games , music ! And when I click apps its just empty black , i have the text above saying applic(and if i move it says applications) but there is nothing there , if i enter IE and go to the site to download it , it tells me "We can;t display this page right now. etc.etc." Can someone help me please , its important for me to be able to browse download and install apps ,"viber"as soon as possible. can someone write below a step by step tutorial to what should I do , or to engage into a video chat via skype so that we can get rid of the problem. In fact its even better if someone can tell me how to install working Android with its appstore or marketplace so that i can download it from there. Sorry if i dont speak understandingly.
i already answered you via PM but you here give more info...
seems you dont have internet connection....
which one you use? data or WiFi?
for data connection you must run Connection Setup to set your connection, and restart phone... if not working you must manually enter APN data in cellular settings

HTC OR MS SAYS THAT FOR 1 MAY [IF I remember well] STOP SUPPORTING MARKETPLACE ....
CAN I GO TO MARKETPLACE VIA ANOTHER WAY ?
THANKS
??? where you see this? this not true.... maybe you not understand this news... only for devices which have first release of Windows Phone and NoDo update (7.0)... all devices with Mango, Tango and newer updates (7.5, 7.8) not loose Marketplace...
and learn netiquette: writing in CAPS is rude... and forbidden on forums...
P.S.
or you mean about WM6.5...this is logic MS step... eventually all devices loose support after few years...
maybe you can try getting into market through linking to the zune
I have a similar problem

When I first download asks me to set up account and it chooses people's republic of china and after I introduce date of birth it sais ''Can't set up account
You've reached the maximum number of accounts allowed for a windows phone.Contact a support person of your service provider to help you.''
But I have introduced only one account.
Can you help me?
i always told people to create Live account on computer, not with phone....
you can choose any Live service
www.live.com
www.outlook.com
www.xbox.com
www.hotmail.com
Hi,
I've recently installed WP7.8 by Pdaimatejam OS 7.10.8858.136 RMT v8.7 and made my live acc on PC with region Poland and my post code. Next thing i'm trying to do is running Marketplace and login with that acc. Ofc app asks for activation code, i've got one so it's no problem and then when app connects acc with phone, it asks for region which is set to People Republic of China with no other choice. My phone region is also set to Poland as well as language. Just tried with 2 other acc and second one was set for Korea... 3rd is also set for PRC. Any ideas how this happens ? I'd be gratefoul for solution.

Just solved with region migration ! Didn't saw earlier at your signature. Thanks a lot !

Forgot previously synced account !!! unable to start

Hello All ...
Will appreciate any help provided ...
Well I got my 10 year old son Nokia 6 TA-1021 recently ...
My mistake i didnt help him set it up and he created new email address and while setting up pattern he forgot the pattern ....
anyhow, i stepped in and did a hard reset from recovery ...
issue is ... now startup is stuck at "The device was reset. To continue, sign in with google account that was previously synced on this device" ...
and he has no idea what email address .... he does remember the password .. there was no backup phone number or email address setup ...
What are my options ?
How can I get email address name ? Or is there any way to skip that ? There are some videos on youtube to bypass it but none works ...
Can I contact google to just get the email account ?
What if I install stock rom ? Will it fix this ?
Any suggestion will be appreciated ..
Thanks
well you might try and reset the password of the email by putting the right answers to the questions
you can do this by signing in gmail and put the email and click forgotten password then it will show you questions you need answer like when did you create the google account etc. good luck
Edit i just read it and it was the email so i think the only thing you can do is go for the service center
