I just updated my arc. Here are the changes I see:
1) Hotmail ActiveSync has been fixed. It now works with the native email app. Finally I have a unified Hotmail/Gmail inbox. However, its not perfect. No HTML mail support :'(
2) Facebook status in contact page under the name
3) Facebook photos and albums under a photos page after openning a contact.
4) Facebook calendar sync with Calendar app.
5) Every one of your facebook albums are now in your andriod gallery application.
6) There is a new page called interests that show all the facebook groups a contact has joined.
7) Locked home screen shows summary of SMS notification. This looks new to me.
8) Sometimes when scrolling the screen would register a tap when I meant to scroll (this happenned frequently). They seem to have tweaked the sensitivity and it appears better. Or maybe I am imagining it.
9) Generally faster scrolling. Again maybe I am imagining but it does appear smoother.
10) Photos look better. 8/6mp files don't seem any bigger than before so they probably tweaked sharpening settings or something else.
Coming from a WP7 phone (LG Optimus 7) the FB integration seems almost as deep in andriod on the Arc now...

put them together in a folder, and zip them or rar them, and upload them to megaupload and post the link

Hopefully this is a short lived thread. I couldn't find anywhere else more appropriate to post this, if there is somewhere please enlighten me. I'd appreciate it if someone would post a download of the 'notes' widget, since I can't download it from the usual method! I looked all over the inter-web and no one has ever posted a link to it (unsurprisingly) so this is a joyous occasion for the few of us that can't download it from htc directly. Gracias!
hopefully someone will post it before the thread is deleted.

If you go Add > Widget, then select the option shown at the top of lot of the list of Widgets (Get more HTC Widgets). Download and install the one titled 'Notes'. Then simply add the widget to the relevant screen.
Also, 3 banana (found via Marketplace) have a good note taking app that has a nice widget, and it has a lot more features not available in the HTC notes widget.

Well, thats not an option actually. I'm running a hacked desire rom on the nexus. so far, widgets cannot download. anybody want to post one?
Here you go mate!
Hope you'll be able to install it, I haven't tried doing it manually, myself.
Anything that syncs with Outlook notes??
I really need to have my notes synced with Outlook: do you know of any app that's capable of this?

no I can't install it. lol

Since it probably doesn't have an install script, I reckon you'd have to bake it into the rom and reflash..
or perhaps try pasting it into the system/app folder and rebot.
Sorry to hear that. It wasn't in /system/app though... I found it in /data/app/ IIRC (hope this helps)

I would like to know how do you go about uploading screenshots onto a thread that your writing on? I would like to upload some of my quadrant scores to XDA to see how they compare with others. I just need to know the basic procedure then I can do the rest. Love XDA, have a samsung Fascinate getting 1900 to 2020 I think thats pretty good but would like to put screenshot up for comments. Thanks any help would be a life saver.
Frostysax,
What I do is upload my images to photobucket and then just post the img code into the post. You could also upload them as attachments.
Click on Post Reply, then scroll down from the text entry box and click on manage attachments, then just upload your image(s) and they'll be attached to the post. The other option is to use a 3rd party site like Imageshack or Photobucket, etc.
Start off by posting in the right section. Then just use any uploading site, upload and copy image url. Then when posting a thread on XDA, hit the button with a small picture of mountains and a sun and paste the url from the uploaded pic into the box.

Could it be to do with your version of Sense or something? Perhaps that's a version newer/older than yours (logically newer) and this isn't included in your version?

That should be easy enough, your arrows point to the little vertical bars on the far left, which most likely is a PNG image inside the apk, can you upload apk and i'll take a look see?

If I'm not mistaken it's supposed to be a UI feature of Sense, but for some reason nobody's been able to find it. Maybe it was part of the UI in a beta version but they simply forgot to add it in in the full version?

Is it a system apk? Or a third party one from the market? I didnt realise he was on sense. i thought it was like an email app he downloaded.

System apk (the stock Sense email app) and judging by the OP date and the bottom tabs it's for Froyo (not sure which one though)

You can multiple select your files to send with your folder and its much easier.

Anyone have any idea?

I was reading up on gmail and its an issue there with the app.
But have you tried another browser like opera?
Battery almost gone on this so can't test but worth a shot
Thanks,
yea, same with Dolphin browser. My gmail app do the same as browsers. So annoying, i really need this sometime.
Cheers
Anyone pls?
Only work around is drop box or box and set up folder and share I know it is pain but nit unless you request in gmail forum itself can't think of any other way.
I also use k9 email client so don't have this issue so use gmail as pop and let k9 manage it
Better as well

I tried to clear cache but it still doesn't work Wifi or 3G.
Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
There is no way to change the app since it opens from gmail itself.
I don't want to change the rom as the user of this phone is not advance one (not me).
Thanks.
