Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:
- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)
- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)
- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks
- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server
- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs
- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.
Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

ya there is. for example, go to the main Messaging page where it shows all of your threads. Click on Menu > Settings > Vibrate (put a check mark)
same thing with IMs or EMail

Awesome, thank you! Weird that the option isn't available in the same place as setting the vibration function for the phone. Has anybody found solutions to any of these other problems?
Thanks
That fixed it for me. Thanks..its so Funny because Ive been messing around with my phone for 2 days and Just found this answer...Thanks
Android will get it wrong sometimes on sms threads when the sender is not in your contacts.
I noticed yesterday I received an sms from [email protected] and deleted it. Later an sms from +1913XXXXXXX. When I pulled up the my sms folders later, the newer, undeleted sms from the 913 number said it was from @domain.com.
(and the two are in no way related.) I did a reboot and it still displayed the same.

When I plug my G1 into my iMac the computer freezes and I need to do a hard restart. Is anyone else having this issue? My updates are current on my iMac and all of my other phones work without any problems.
when i play music and i turn of the screen, there is a jump every 15 seconds
here's an email bug...
Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...
Otherwise, lovin the G1

When it switches you over to gmail. Is the body filled out or the sender in the field?
no, just replaces the extention
Give it a try see what you find. www.craigslist.org
Actually i did try it and it worked for me.
But, i used the mobile version of Craigslist.
Mobile version of Craigs
You experience it daily: People see your Touch HD, beg you to let them play with it, and the first thing the seem to check is your SMS and contacts .
I looked at virtually all available access control solutions for WinMobile yesterday, but all of them have their shortcomings. My main concern was to leave my data untouched.
So today I would like to recommend Lockdown, from our very own Mr_Gee here at the forum. Very simple, yet a program no HD should be without. Lock access to your SMS, contacts, programs, files - you define in a simple list what you want to lock, and when the respective shortcut is activated a password entry page is presented.
Find the programs' thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409135
And find common program locations and names here:
http://dontknowme.at/http://rotlaus-software.de/wiki/rltoday/application_page
Still experimenting, also under TouchFlow, but my initial filelist.ini currently looks like this:
msg1,\Windows\tmail.exe,
msg2,\Windows\tmail.exe,-service "SMS"
msg3,\Windows\tmail.exe,-service "GMX"
Enjoy! Thanks to Mr_Gee for getting me started.
Your welcome, enjoy
re: lockdown program
so let me understand fully, if someone other than yourself (the owner of the HD) gets hold of your HD, they cant access anything (sms, emails, or phone contacts or call history) as its 100% password protected - no password - no viewing, even if they turn the phone off????
No, LockDown is more for protecting viewing by girlfriends. For a much higher level of protection with remote hard resets etc. I use the German GuardMobile 1.5.3225 by MASPWare.de
as a happy HD2 owner, i have the following questions, if possible to be done:
1. Is it possible to link a Facebook Profile to a contact with full finctionality Except Contact PHOTOs! i have good photos of people in address book that i dont want them to be replaced with Facebook photos.
2. is it possible to open a TAB IN BACKGROUND in Opera!! [like opera PC]
3. My Lock screen does not show 3 locks [i.e as in the manual] when there is a message or a notification! it has only one sliding lock showing numbers of notifications. i.e. no direct unlock that goes to messages or so...
4. is there a good SMALL software that can TURN on/off Airplane mode automatically at scheduled times?
thanks in advance....

1. Yes, in the contacts option you can choose whether it uses Facebook, Outlook or another photo for the contact.
2. Not that I know of
3. You click on the main lock when you have unread messages/emails/missed calls and more slidey dudes come up that you can slide to go to the appropriate tab.
4. Probably... can't help there.
thanks alot. as for slides to unlock, nope, they dont come up.
one more question though
5. i cant find a way to "SEND / Recieve " all email accounts at once! each has to be done separately!!!
Sync email send/receive
4. The send key if held, takes you to a menu where you can choose to turn off phone(airplane). It is definitely possible to do it on a schedule. I saw it once but wasn't interested due my concern about power management gremlins.
5. There is an app called email scheduler by Gundensoft, see the website.
You can set scheduling for each account, and turn them on and of when you want.
I know you want a way to do them all at once manually, but I can only offer this suggestion to do it automatically.

When you edit a contact if you click on the area their picture is in the top right corner it will come up with a menu on where to upload the new photo. Hope that helps.

please see this post for an excerpt from the user manual about this.
I'm sure we all want to have the option of looking at our emails in full HTML format by default on our HD2's. Does anyone know how to configure this option. A registry tweak would be nice.
Using the following route for GMAIL you can change your account settings to show 'The Entire Message' and download 'All attachments' by default by still doesn't give the solution we need.
Instructions :-
Go to the Inbox of any account
-> click on the menu key (right soft)
-> on the pop-up menu, select Tools>Options...
-> choose an account to edit
We need an expert on the case! Please.......................
Would it explain why accents don't display ?
Basically, I had an iPhone before and when I received an email, the entire message was downloaded. Pictures & text etc. and you were able to scroll about the entire message without any issues or having to do anything else to gain access to the rest of the email.
On the HD2, I have managed to get the majority of the message downloaded but still not "internet Pictures" are allowed to be downloaded and you have to push another option to scroll right if the email is quite large.
I know that Safari is a different program and not affected by malware and such like but I would like something similar on the HD2.
Are there any tweaks or CABs to fix this???
Thanks
I have been looking for a fix for this since I got my HD2 but it seems that there is no fix.
This is the main thing that is anoying me about this phone (Even more than the sms issue) I cant belive there is not 1 person on here that can hack this and let us download everything by default.
Anyway there is a HUGE donation for anyone who can do this!!

Someone else RAGING about the same things I am!
I think hell just froze over. The 1.6x ROM was pretty good in comparison to the 1.48 ROM. When that is officially been released then texting will be better.
BsB tweaks 1.6 will solve the texting issue till then. It has for me (for the most part).

Yup this annoyed me on the Touch HD also. There must be a registry setting somewhere that will enable the automatic download of pictures for html messages by default. Although this would mean spammers could potentially validate your email if the spam hits your inbox.

Are you serious?
Last year Safari was the second most-vulnerable browser (after FireFox), and most of those vulnerabilities targeted the iPhone version.
Hi all,
I'm experiencing some issues with my HD2, and so far they haven't been solved by HTC. I doesn't seem to find a "known issue list" per ROM, but may be I'm overlooking somehow. please let me know if there are answers to the following problems/ questions:
1. I cannot influence on the default display order of first name/last name when I sync my contacts with outlook. it always saves the "wrong way around"
2. when sending "long SMS" (text over 2 messages) the second one rarely arrives at the recipient.
3. the SMS forwarding option from the SENSE UI does not work properly: it suggests to forward the last message from the conversation modus, although I selected another one to forward. when I press "ok" from the status menu and try again, it works fine.
4. the SMS conversation modus of the SENSE only shows me the last 25 messages. when I delete some of these I get the older ones back one by one, filling up till 25 each time. I don't want to be cut after 25. Is there a setting?
5. The twitter peep app. refuses to pop a sound when a new tweet arrives, although this is setup in the sounds settings
6. Where can I set that I don't want to keep all the old tweets until the end of times? I would like to drop history older than let's say 1 week.
7. What happened to the "post time" of the tweets older than one day in the peep app? I want to keep seeing those!!
8. When I use the Google search bar from the SENSE UI, I get a nice results list. When I click these results, I go to an internal Google page that holds the main text of the internet page. at the bottom of that page I can click to go to the actual page. How can I set it up to go immediately from the results page to the actual internet page?
9. On my device it seems to be impossible to connect a bluetooth car kit headset to my device. It recognizes 20 phones that are in cars next to me but not my headsets (only tested with nokia devices).
responses much appreciated. other issues: more than welcome, but please check your ROM first.
2nd attempt
On point 9. Go to the settings tab and then click "menu" and "All Settings".
Now go to the bluetooth icon and make sure your phone is discoverable.
I had this same issue trying to pair my phone with my GPS to use the hands free functionallity.
Make sure you turn off discoverable mode once the devices are paired.
Good luck.
1 - download contact fix availble from the forums

1.
You have to save each contact as firstname and then surname. This you do when opened a contact, edit, then scroll all the way down to the bottom. Press the big button "MORE". Here you can "Save as" and choose first name, then surname.
Yes, from what I know, you must do this with every contact individually. When it's done, you should be able to sync and they should stay that way. At least this is what I've done, and it works for me.
1. There's a cheap app in the Marketplace called Contact Changer that will display all your contacts how you'd like.
5. Yep that's annoying. It makes the alert noise when it updates but not when you get a new tweet. Odd.
8. There's a permanent setting in Google settings to change this.
is there any fix for No. 4?
