Internet Browser not responding when connected to mobile network
Sometimes when I open the Internet browser the phone does not load any pages when connected to the Internet over the mobile network. As soon as I connect it to my WiFi, the problem is gone and I can open pages again over the mobile network and WiFi...

That's mean its operator's problem
The Desk Clock was supposed to stay on, but instead the screen blocks and there's no Desk Clock after the screen's time out.
Torch app
It could be nice if they add a Torch app in the next update. Such a shame that the LED is only used for pictures
Gmail Signature
When adding a signature in Gmail the editing box does not expand making it difficult to create a automatic signature

Yea, it would be nice that the Desk Clock stays on. I agree with you. This one is absolutely useless. Shame for such a nice clock.
connection problem on legend
I'm encountering trouble with the connectivity of my legend.
Users from france and belgium are reporting cases when all the connection layer seems ok (connection icon is blinking and all connections seem ok) but in fact no network.
We have to reboot the phone or go to flight mode and come back online to retreive network again.
It seems to impact all kind of connections (I have the problem with WIFI and 3G connection and have no problem with other phones in the same area).
it's quite annoying because for some messaging application you have to go back in the appliaction to see that you're not longer connected.
My biggest issue to date is the the Sync All feature does not actually seem to Sync the weather widget at all. & even if I go into Settings > Accounts & Sync > Sync All - it still does not sync the weather widget. I have to open the Weather App manually to sync. Anyone else having this problem.
Also, how do I reset my default Current Location. It has set mine to my country (Ireland) rather than to my City.

I'm encountering problems (not always) when leaving the home or office WiFi area. The phone doesn't connect to the 3G or GPRS mobile network. Putting it to flight mode or rebooting the Legend solves the problem but it is extremely annoying because you need to double check connectivity issues all the time.

I have exactly the same problem =(
Anyone has a solution?
This is not a huge problem, just a small annoyance to me. In the contacts you have linked with facebook you can choose to have their facebook profile picture as the contact picture or you can choose to use a picture on the phone, but whenever I choose that the contact should have a picture from the phone it just has that picture for a short period and then it reverts back to the picture from facebook.
Anyone know of a solution to this except unlinking the facebook profile?
1. Im really desperate for something to get my led on the back to burn.
You cant even film with the light on.
2. My alarm and timer dont ring with the screen off, havent found a fix yet. I'll have to get an egg timer app
[edit] I actually found out today that I have a special legend phone, and that this alarm/timer bug is only my problem. No one else has this?
About the wifi problem, my downloads get stuck..
But the easiest way to temporarily fix it is to turn your wifi on and off.
Ive put the Power Control widget [android] on the 2nd screen on which u can turn all power sucking functions on and off with the push of a button.
Hello.
Maybe just for me, but does not work GoogleEarth.

same as me.
Vabration and ringing problem
I've just realised that the ringing and the vibration disappears after some time, even if I leave the phone just to vibrate it doesn't, but if I reboot the phone it goes back to normal.
I've missed a lot of phone calls just because of this.
Does anyone have this problem?
Thanks
Another bug, "people widget" all contacts disappear from widget after rebooting. Some of the photos (facebook ones) in people widget keep disappearing.
Friend stream application: if I go to accounts & sync/general settings/account settings in facebook it should show sync frequency and notifications,etc, but only sync frequency shows.
Sound feedback when typing is loud.
Or is it just me????
I noticed there was a thread for this sort of issue in the HD2 forum but this is a stock DHD running HTC Sense.
When the wireless is on I cannot connect to the internet at all through applications such as facebook or twitter or even the XDA app. I recieve notifications from those apps, and I recieve email.
However if i try to browse to anything within these apps I recieve a "server is not responding" error, or variation therof.
This happens on ANY wireless network as I have been running on my home wireless and a corporate wireless (which I control so is not just a corporate blocker, or firewall issue).
I am reasonably new to android, but I am also a network technician so I know what I am doing RE network.

Getting arsey isn't going to help you get a decent response.
I am also a network tech - but I have not experienced any issues with wireless on my DHD.
You say stock - so I assume you have not rooted/flashed anything other than possibly the OTA update?
All I can suggest is manually forgetting the network and reconnecting. If you have any security on your WLAN, take it off temporarily and try again.
Failing that, it's time for a full factory reset to see if that gets you anywhere. If that fails, your device is probably faulty and you should have it replace.
I assume you have no issues over 3G/HSDPA?
It just seemed pointless having someone say they don't have the problem.
Like I say this occurs on any network I have trialled it on, I will disable security when i get home.
Data over Network is fine, I have not rooted or flashed a ROM this is OTB phone with 1.72 installed.
I'm running ansar's Tango ROM currently and I never noticed this 'feature' before. I do NOT have any reception at work.. and I barely can get a 1x connection if I put my phone 46 degrees NNE of the window beside the stockroom(just saying here... no signal at all here lol). But anyway, I was connecting my HTC Trophy(Verizon) to the computer to sync some apps through ZUNE. Tested an app and noticed that I could get on the internet with my phone while connected to the computer. In otherwords, Reverse USB Tethering I guess. Like my phone was pulling internet from my computer here at work. Make sense?
Is this a standard WP7 Feature? or is this something ansar put in the Tango ROM? I was just wondering because this is an OMFG BEAST feature to have due to bad reception(and I do mean BAD) at my work area. Thanks.
Edit:
Might I add this as well.. If you disable the 'sync' screen in the WPTweaks app, you can download apps WAY faster by connecting USB then then downloading the app.
My phone has always pulled internet from my phone when connected via Zune, even on stock software
Thanks, I never noticed. I wonder how it works? is it the driver on the kernel or something?
I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync with a Windows 10 PC All seemed to work perfectly with the Android app over wifi.
The strange thing is today when I clicked sync on the PC it caused the Android app on the phone to start, as expected ... but then gave me a pop up msg that it could not connect. I checked and wifi was switched OFF, so was turn wifi on automatically, open network notification & wifi scanning, all turned off. So the phone should not be waking up when MFE on PC attempts to connect but something is obviously on & a signal is getting through from PC to activate the Android app, even though the data transfer channel is blocked.
How come? Is this a bug (Android or Essential)?
I am using stock rom without any modifications. After installing the April update I got a notification saying app updates are ready, Connect to wi-fi to continue. Even after connecting to wi-fi it is still present. This notification cannot swiped away or disabled. Any opinion to remove it?
Make WiFi unmetered and check
Go to WiFi setting
Click on connected WiFi
Click on advanced
Then click on metered and click on treat as unmetered.
Not working brother...
Did you find the solution? I have the same issue.
