I am pasting the question from another forum which interests me as well…
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Hi all,
when sending sms and you set the setting for ask for delivery notice on you get back the delivery notice but it will only show you the number not the Name.
This is very annoying when you are sending sms to many contacts.
Is there a work around that?. I contacted the poor online support of Imate and one "not-so-tactful" support lady said "this is what it suppose to do" and they cut me off even before asking my next question to them.
what a shame i-mate has such a poor online support."
Unfortunately I don't think there is. The delivery report comes back from the networks servers with the persons mobile number only. The contact name for that number is stored locally on your phone handset only. What you need is a program that can scan received delivery reports, pull out the number and match it to your contacts database. Far too long winded.
Such a function would probably only benefit someone sending one sms to multiple contacts, then waiting to see who actually received it, so probably not considered by any software developers.
never the less, it is still a shortcoming of the Windows Mobile software, as all nokia phones old and new (even the ancient 8210), and sony ericsson phones can do this!

damn i didnt realize i bumped the post
sory mods please delete it
I just replied to this in the Universal forum, yet seeing I have the Wizard it made more sense to post here. Basically, over the last 24 hours, my phone will download e-mail, yet only the headers. It will then say "Receiving Folders" and just hang there for ages, until an error comes up telling me to check my settings. My incoming e-mail comes from my own companies dedicated server, so I've certainly not changed anything. Has anyone had this problem before and been able to solve it?
Thanks in advance
I had an e-mail conversation with the HTC Support team in Europe (man that was tough!), and told them about an error (bug) in HTC Calendar.
Hopefully the bug will be reported (forwarded) to the dev. team in Taiwan or whatever, since it's rather annoying:
I've tried creating a new reccuring all-day appointment (every 15th of Dec.), with a free status and with a reminder of 15min prior to the event, using HTC Calendar (which seems to be the right way, since it's on the Sense tab and is't so user and finger friendly). The result? The appointment is created on January 15.
Finally someone is suffering from the same error as me.
99% of the reccuring appointment that i makes reflect in January 2011.
i hope that someone can find a solution for this annoying bug

Dear Mr.<myName>,
Thank you for contacting us,
Kindly be informed that we will investigate about this case and get back to you as soon as we get a reply.
Heh - not much of a response then. That's a shame, because others on here have had more promising responses (with their issues).
hello all
can someone help me please.
I also did light LED for the mail does not work for me.
I have adapted to register but no.
sms etc. work fine except email.
one solution?
Thanks.
Yep; from reading this and various other forums, it seems this doesn't work on ANYONE'S HD2. HTC Support claims it works just fine for them though, and that they've had no complaints (except mine). Obviously this is a software issue, since the LED fires for other notifications, so it'd be an easy software fix.
Suggestion: drop an email to HTC describing this (and other) problem. http://www.htc.com/europe/CS_Mail.aspx
I have almost all the software from xda tried.
Resultaad same ..
Could the problem lie with the Radio Rom? !
Someone experience??

...and mine too ;-)
Brief mini-rant (and sneaky opportunity to bump this up):
I'm as pissed as anyone about the SMS problem; it's a basic function of a phone that oughta work out of the box as expected even on the cheapest phone available. That it doesn't work on this pricey gizmo, and HTC have yet to fix it is shocking.
From reading these threads though, I see that folks have thousands of SMS's on their phones. Wow. On most plans, SMS's cost money to send. Why would anyone choose an SMS when an email would serve the same purpose? I read somewhere on the net that per byte it's cheaper to send / receive data from the Hubble telescope than to send an SMS.
My point: I'm surprised there's not more outrage about the non-working 'new email' notification LED.
response from HTC re LED Notification not working
I dropped an email to HTC describing the Email LED problem and their initial response was, have i ticked the box in settings .
Then they said
"the only option we can take is to escalate this case for you and get the R&D department to take a look and get a fix for this.
if i can take some details from the device i can forward this case on to be looked at:
Serial number,
IMEI number.
ROM version, 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
Radio version 2.05.51.05_2"

i gave them my details and their response was :-
"Thank you for the details ill make sure they look in to this and see what we can do to correct this for you.
thanks again, ill contact you as soon as we get some information back from them"

Not holding my breath
Can you let us know if they come with a solution ..??
I've been swapping emails with the developer of PhoneAlarm; he's sent me a beta version that actually makes the email LED work! He says the beta should be up on his site in the next day or so. YAAAAAAY!
http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html Since this guy's the only person who's taken the trouble to look into this, I strongly encourage all to *purchase* this nice piece of software.

Will do, hopefully they dont take to long to work it out.
Have more people with this problem or are we alone??
Nope; this is faulty on ALL HD2s as far as I know, and also not fixed on the latest ROM 1.66.
But, the latest version of PhoneAlarm fixes this problem! I strongly encourage folks to try / purchase this great piece of software! http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html
That means HTC sense to disable switching and Phone Alarm?
I am having same problem and headache to think how is the solution. Then i eat panadol.
I just fired off an email to HTC about this. It's a bit frustrating that there is an option for it but it doesn't work. How embarrassing for them to have such a blatant bug. It can't hurt to let them know that lots of folks are suffering from this.
Here is the response I got from HTC today
New Response From [ Richard (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]

I can't believe they are just being so blind about this problem. It is on every handset. Why don't they just test it on their own?
Hardware fault. WTF?
Yep: the HTC guy I swapped emails with swore up & down that his email LED worked just fine.
finally
People good news, Uncle Bear is right.
Thanks to him I now also working led to mail, I could not believe my eyes when I saw a green light.
So phone alarm beta version is a nice solution.
Least until HTC comes with a solution. (As can be seen a long time)
After the last email they sent me I sent them this back

This is not a hardware issue. If it is, then it is a problem with every HD2 handset out there. Lots of other HD2 owners have this exact problem also. I am a member of the XDA forum and it does not work for everyone. As I stated before, the LED works for other notifications, like SMS or alarm, but not the email. This is a problem with Sense or Windows I think. You should look into it more. I have hard reset the device many times and this specific feature has never worked.

Then they responded with their generic response AGAIN! How frustrating

If the rom update or hard reset its fixing the issue with your device, please contact us on +44 8458900079 and speak with our agent to send this device to be repair.

I can only assume they meant to say "isn't fixing" and not "is fixing". Not only are they fobbing me off, they can't even be arsed to type (or copy and paste) an email correctly.
I just got pretty much the same response from Joe UK Tech support. He said a Hard reset would fix it but if it doesnt he will make sure that any info he gets from the R&D department, he will get back to my straight away. (Not going to hold my breath)
In the meantime, i have started using PhoneAlarm and now the LED does flash for new emails but there are so many notification setting/changes needed within PhoneAlarm its a hassle.
Another response from HTC
I sent them
I an only assume you meant to say "isn't fixing" and not "is fixing" in your previous response? Can you please confirm that your HD2 has the email notification working. That is, when a new email arrives, the LED will flash for the time that is set in the settings? This is very strange, there are hundreds of people just like me on the XDA forums that are having this exact same problem. Are you saying that all their handsets are defective too and need to be replaced? This functionality has not worked on ROM's 1. 43, 1.48 or 1.66. It does work for the other notifications like SMS or missed call, which strongly points to a software bug. Almost 100% sure it's not a hardware fault. I really don't want to send my phone as I can't be without it for weeks.

Dear customer, You have the option to send this device to be repair or wait untill the rom update to fix this software issue.

So I replied with
Here you contradict yourself. You say that I can send my phone in for "Repair" but also that there is no software fix for this. Doesn't that mean that there is also no way that you can fix the problem. What would you do to "Fix" this? Again I will ask you. Does your HD2 have a working LED for email notification? Or is it a fault with the software? I know the LED works for SMS, missed calls etc but does it work for emails?

Why won't they just give a straight answer and accept there is a problem at least. What the hell would they do with it if I sent it in anyways?
Hi,
I use my HD2 with exchange synchronisation. It works well with one big problem!
My Exchange sorted the incoming mails to several folders. The problem is that I only get a notification if a mail is incomming directly to the main folder of my mailbox. If a mail was sortet in a subfolder there is no notification. Is there a reg tweak or something else to learn the HD2 to beep every time when a new mail arrives?
It would be great if this is possible, because currently i have to look to all folders the see if there is a new mail.

Same here...
I love to know a way to do a new mail notification on 'folders' too. However, I recall it did this on my iPhone too, so I'm not holding out too much hope!
Does no-one have a solution for this - it's driving me nuts ! The only thing that I've found in my searches on the 'net is the something from blackmonlabs called message-notify (I can't post the URL due to restrictions in this forum, but Googling it should turn it up)
This would work, but is going to screw up the lovely home page of the HD2, so is not really practical. What I'm looking for is something that will display a count of ALL unread messgaes irrespective of whether they are in the Inbox or have been automatically moved to a subfolder. Obviously this should be displayed in the Email notification icon.
If anyone can come up with a solution, I (and many others judging by what I'm reading elsewhere) would be very grateful !
