Guys,
I'm using my HD2 with WP7 and have unlocked everything etc (phone is running great). I'm currently using my works laptop with my Zune account to transfer songs over and it works like a charm.
The problem is that when I go home and download Zune onto my home PC, will I find that it locks my phone again or should it still be fine to do this? I know Zune supports up to 3 devices but I don't want to set it up if it's going to cause locking issues.
Many thanks
Anyone?

Is anyone using tethering, either via bluetooth or usb with their verizon 6800 and windows 7?
I used it all the time when i was using xp with my laptop, but havent been able to try it yet with the windows 7 RC partition.
I have a couple of issues which may give me problems, at least right now.
I'm currently overseas, and I dont have verizon service here (australia) so i cant play around and test out to see if i do get it setup and working.
What i want to know is what software and setup i should have on windows 7, or vista, cause i guess theyre probably closer to eachother than xp and 7 are, to allow me to use the ICS sharing in dcd 3.2.6.
i want to figure out how to test that i have it setup correctly, cause on my flight home which is in a week and a half, i have a layover in the san fran airport, and want to be able to use my laptop tethered there while I wait.
any similar situations or help would be great,
Thanks
Yes, I have used it via bluetooth. Assuming you have already paired the phone with the computer via bluetooth, just use the built in ICS from DCD rom, click on the bluetooth icon in the taskbar and click 'join a personal area network'. This is pretty much the same as windows XP.
yeah, ive paired it with the comp.
when i was on xp i used the built in dell bluetooth manager, and with windows 7 im using the devices and printers manager. I usually like to connect it with usb so i can keep it charged at the same time.
Hopefully everything works without me needing to download anything, cause i obviously wont have internet in the airport without it.
thanks
I've tried both standard ICS and WMWifiRouter (though not on XV6800) and works fine for me on every device I tried (see signature for a list, I tested most of them).
I've heard from various people that it doesn't work on Windows 7, but plugging it in (for USB) and just waiting a few minutes automatically starts driver installation process, wait a few minutes more and it'll just work.
I have noted that sometimes it does actually take a 10 minute wait before Windows 7 will wake up and realise it has some driver installation to do, but aside from that, 100% success rate here.
I have not tried BT on us many devices as USB, but seems to work everytime as well.
So ... I'm SO happy that i've got Android to work on my phone. Everything is working very well, and I see that I'm having the same issues as others are having, i.e. battery life and choppy phone calls.
My problem though pertains to me not being able to sync to active sync on my computer. It says error when it goes to install the driver. I'm using windows 7 active sync.
Also, another problem i'm having is i can't open up astro anymore. After about 4 days installing Android, it says "error" and force closes the program.
Anyone can help me?
Thanks
ActiveSync is good only for WinMo phones.
Under Android sync is different. You can sync your phone online with a Google acc if you have.
+1: ActivSync = WM only
On my Sense version I use HTCSynch.
Works really fine on W7 x64 with Outlook 2010 x86.
For Astro, just try to uninstall/reinstall (if not in build)
HTC Sync not working on my builld. I have the darkstone HD2Froyo V3 (26-October-2010) version installed an everything works, including wifi and phone audio. But I have not been able to get HTC Sync to work. I also tried a program called Android Manager WIFI that does pretty much the same thing using WIFI instead of USB. Neither of the programs would allow me to connect the PC to HD2. The USB File transfer works fine. Any suggestions?
I've had my device since Tuesday and I'm loving the experience so far with the exception of this one problem - HTC Sync. I've searched this forum but couldn't find a solution. Basically I've installed the latest version of HTC Sync which installs fine on win7 64bit, however when I connect my phone to my PC, I need to manually run HTC sync and then it sits on the version screen saying that it's updating the HTC library. About 15mins later, I get the device screen were I can then select my device and what I want to sync. At the moment I just simply want to sync a few of my WM playlists (everything else syncs fine via google, FB etc). I managed to do this once and it took nearly an hour to sync 65 mp3.
It doesn't seem like anyone else is having this problem but it could be that I've got a setting on my phone that is incorrect. Thinking that it might be my 8gig storage card, I formatted it and started a fresh (all original content was backed up first). This had no effect. Surely it's not going to take hours to sync my phone every single time?
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
Hi there..

You'd be better off asking the dev of the app.

I think is your WI-FI problem..
I ordered a UK DVP last week, it comes with the latest firmware and I upgraded the OS to 7390, but wifi freezes. This doesn't happen to my US DVP.
After a few try I realised that it ight be zune which causes the problem. If I do not connect to PC after the reset, the wifi works ok. If I connect to PC zune, then it will have wifi issue unless you reset.
I just tried to re-install zune on PC and tried to forget the previous devices but it's not working.
Every first time I connect to PC(after reset the phone), once I disconnected, the phone will start download a certain number of games (5 with certain title) which I have purchased, I've purchased nearly all the xbox games but why these 5? And afterwards, the wifi freezes...
What shall I do now? Do I need to hard reset my PC?! To forget these damn devices.
(Everytime you connect a new device, it starts syncing automatically, you can't change setting before that, STUPID!!) I hate zune!!

I believe your Zune Live ID is the same across all your resets. If its the same ID, then it will download your apps. That's my guess.
Yes but why only these 5 or 6? Every time is the same and I've bought dozens of apps. I can't even cancel downloading. Tried after reset my laptop it's still the same. This is stupid!
It will download only those purchased on the PC. Any apps purchased on the phone will not be auto doenloaded
