i cant believe thatit doesn't auto update an add a little notice anywhere is it just me or is this £495 phone not pulling its weight, starting to think about selling this and getting an iPhone or going back to my 8900 have I set everything up correctly? why use is it if it doesn't notify you of anything
sigh......
It might just be me but that seems to be quite a vague statement...what doesn't it update that's upsetting you? I found this:
http://www.montecristoff.com/hd2tweak.htm
earlier today and its got a nice feature which will automatically update any apps that you've installed...how cool is that? (I do hate calling progs "apps"...its so apple dont you think?)
Wel on some hand I can agree .. But did you know you can tusrm notifications on and off, quite easy actually.
In sence env go to SETTINGS > Display Notifications sounds.
And there you should find it.
And sorry for the name of the menu. I got the dutch version over here.
And please explain more about the auto update. What exactly is it that you want to "autoupdate"
regards

why update automatically and update everything,,, instead of what you want to update
Martyn,
Can you come back with a more concise statement of what your problems are please? If its what I think it is there are tons of threads on here about that AND solutions which you can easily search for.
However let's start at the beginning and get our heads round what your problems are.
Cheers

i just want things like facebook and twitter to update automaticly without me having to get an email first...
on my bb 8900 i would have an icon at the top stating facebook 1,2,3 etc
this phone seems to only notify me of sms,email? no app like facebook or twitter interaction at all??? and my facebook is ment to update every 2 hours, (cant seem to change this )
Your signature bemoans the price the HD2 cost you - but you dislike it because it's default settings limit data connection use, persumably to cut costs?
To your issue, I don't know what facebook app was running on your blackberry but if it's that important to you why not add an rss feed with your facebook updates or open a gmail account that's mailed whenever something happens on facebook and setting it as an exchange "push mail" account?
And that's before the obvious suggestion of googling for an appropriate application O_O
I hope I'm not too reproachful. My point is that Windows Mobile is more like a desktop os than it is like whatever blackberry uses or osX mobile. Solving your "issues" shouldn't take more than half an hour's browsing in the HD2 Themes and Applications forum.
you don't have the twitter tab? and the intergrated facebook? not that its working in all aspects but still I like it..! The standalone facebook application works. The phone also notifies me for twitter and facebook messages..
go to settings in htc sense then choose the data option (says set up sync schdules or similar under the heading) then click on facebook or twitter and set up sync settings to automatic.
they will both now update at the intervals you set.
twitter is available in sense via it's tab and facebook inegrates itself with your contacts in the people tab in sense by pairing your contacts on your device with the contacts of matching names from your facebook. names have to be the same to auto integrate otherwise you have to manually select which contacts to add to which facebook friend.
hope this helps a bit
All the above, plus make sure you don't use any form of 'Auto-disconnect' program to turn your data connection off, or all 'pushed' updates like FB and Twitter will fail till the next time a polled update occurs.

I don't use that- have you got any settings for data disconnect active? If so, it might be worth disabling any auto-disconnect
As far as I know Twitter and FB do not notify you of anything?!
Only emails, SMS, Missed Calls, etc... get a notification.

Twitter has notifications. Facebook does not, unless you install the facebook instant messenger application from this site.
where is that app?

I was about to ask the exact same thing about Facebook, because mine doesnt either, and I have been playing with this phone for long enough to not have missed it!
Hi Guys and Girls,
This is my first HTC device and im loving it so far, being a long user for wimo devices, recently come from an omnia i8000, huge improvement going to the HTC, i wont look back.
Has anyone expericened missing email accounts? it still seems to be in the list but its hidden? i can create a new account with a different account name, and it works but is there any fix?
Thanks for your help
Bj,
I experienced the same problem today. However, I noticed that the mail settings had disappeared in addition to the accounts no longer showing up.
The only way I was able to solve the problem was by deleting the mailboxes and re-creating them.
Hopefully there is a better solution found in case this happens again.
Same thing happened to me just yesterday, wonder what's the cause.
Anyway I had the settings backed up to a cab as described here so a reinstall of that set them back up in seconds.
Have the same problem, but my internet settings was lost to...
Any fix for this other than the obe above?
//Johan
I had same misterious problem two times, and I didn't understand why...
:-(
Even I've had the same problem twice..and in addition to losing the email accounts, all my apps which required login like facebook, fring, etc stopped remembering usernames and passwords. Even if I selected save password, it kept asking me everytime is started the app.
The first time it happened i did not notice why, but the second time it happed immediately after a soft reset done using BSB Tweaks after making some changes in it.
I have removed BSB Tweaks for the time being, so will wait and see if it happens again.
the email problem can be solved by going to email- tab --> menu --> account settings (may have another name) --> choose your disappered account. you will notice some of your settins are lost, in my case the mail servers and the username. type in the missing information, and hit 'done', your email acc will be visible again.
Missing Accounts
Same problem after I installed the newest firmware in June. Never happened before, since then TWICE, so it must be the issue of the new FW. Sorry wergor, the solution you offer sucks. Doesn't solve the cause!

Hey,
I found a solution to this problem that I think works. The first time this happened my email accounts disappeared and all of my logins for other things (facebook, etc) also stopped working. This just happened again with no recent mods to the phone, and the only add-on I have is C00kie's Home Tabs (which I didn't have the first time).
The first time I used all the missing settings as an opportunity to upgrade my software. This time I'm on the road and I don't have time to fool with it. Happily I did figure out a way to resurrect the vanished accounts.
As you stated, if you try to recreate the settings, the system will tell you that the account exists, forcing you to create the same settings with a different name. You can probably find your original settings by doing the following:
Go to the settings tab. (Scroll left from your home)
Choose "Data Services"
Scroll down to "E-Mail"
Here you should see whatever accounts you created, even if they don't show up in your email tab proper. Select them and update your passwords (if they're missing, mine were). Everything should look normal.
As I said, I'm on data roam and I couldn't get my OTA download to work where I am. Hopefully when I get back I'll know for sure. Give it a try and I hope it helps you.
Dan
Dan.S - yes, it works, thanks so much. ;-)
It works
Yes, works. In same time, I lost my ability to connect to Facebook. Whenever I try to input name (email) and password, I get instant answer that there is problem with connection. Maybe password also lost. No idea where to find solution.

thank you Dan,it worked for me...
From what I can tell when contacts sync from Google or Facebook all of the information is correct. If you manually add a birthday to a contact then whatever day you select for the birthday will show one day earlier after you enter it! This appears to affect only the birthday, other dates work fine.
I've tested this on the following ROMs:
Fresh 2.0b2
DamageControl v1
DamageControl v1.1b5
DamageControl v2.0r2
I've tested this to be true on five Hero's. Can anyone else confirm as well?
WORK-AROUND
To fix the issue, turn off the Date & Time automatic update
MENU -> SETTINGS -> DATE & TIME Uncheck the Automatic box
General consensus from the information in this thread is that the problem is related to how the contacts application handles birthdays and DST (daylight savings time) rules. If your phone is updating from the network then it's applying DST rules, where as if you turn off the automatic updates it does not apply DST rules. You just have to make sure after if you turn off the automatic updates that your date/time is correct and remember to set it correctly next time DST rolls around.
I'm on DamageControl v1.0, birthday's work fine for me. Odd problem you're having there :/

So if you add a new birthday and save it, it stays as the date you selected?
I can confirm, same issue in mine (Fresh 2.0c), the correct dates stuck after I then updated the birthdays in Google Contacts.
it sends it a day early on all the roms even the stock 1.5. I think it is so you know ahead of the day.
This sounds similar to an issue I've always had with the Google Holidays calendar. If you open the calendar to view a holiday (all-day event) it shows on the correct day. However, if you're using the calendar widget which shows upcoming events, it always shows a day early.
Somehow there's a timezone issue where it starts all-day events before the day starts, say, 11pm the day before. So the widget shows the event a day early.
(and yes, for the record I have verified that both the phone / calendar timezone settings are the same)
I've had this problem with Google for a long time. Even back on my HTC Touch Pro. When I merged all of my contacts from Outlook onto Google, they did this to me. I think it has something to do with the Daylight savings time issue fix that happened a while ago. Somehow it changed all of the birthdays from starting at 12:00am to 11:59pm to 11:00am - 11:59pm, effectively making each birthday start an hour earlier for that day, or on a calendar as 1 day earlier. I could never get it to fix itself, I had to go in and manually delete and re-enter all of the birthdays.

That gave me an idea. I turned off the network time and manually set it instead. When I did that, now I can add birthdays correctly! It must have something to do with DST like you mentioned above.
I think its because its setup as a "meeting" a time to a time, instead of associated with a day/date. DST fixes generally fix the
"meetings" but don't effect items associated with a date, like a holiday.
So I updated the first post with a work-around in case anyone else searches for a fix to this problem. I don't see it as a big deal personally, especially since I don't mess with contacts on my phone. I add details through Gmail then let it sync over which will sync the birthday correctly.
My understanding from Google searches and the replys to this thread is that dates synced over from Google and Facebook are associated as dates, whereas birthdays added through the People application are actually associated as a meeting time encompassing the whole day (so 12:00am to 11:59pm) but because it's not an actual calendar item DST rules are not applying to it hence it still thinks it's an hour ago placing the start time of then event at 11:00pm instead of 12pm and making the date appear as one day earlier.
Does this sound right to everyone?
Hi has anyone been able to sign in to the twitter account using the social jogger app? I keep getting the following message "invalid signature.make sure your system clock is correct." Is there something I'm doing wrong cost with the Facebook', signing into that account was straight forward. I would be grateful if anyone could assist me with getting this issue sorted. It's been like that since day one.
i can use it on my iconia,it work well..

I have the same problem. Did you find any solution to this?
Settings -> Date & Time -> Select time zone and, well, select the correct time zone Should do the trick.

I'm in the correct time zone and yet still the same issue. I don't have a single clue what I might be doing wrong.
mine works fine, you might double check your wifi,make sure its connected
I had that very same issue when I first got mine. Tried for days and checked setting etc - it just kept throwing that at me so I quit. I don't use it.
has anyone been able to sort out the twitter account section of the social jogger app?Still not been able to sign into my twitter account using the social jogger. Keep getting "invalid signature. Make sure system clock is correct". And I tell you, the clock settings could not be anymore correct. Help!!!
So I'm sure this is a known issue but every time I restart my phone the Calendar settings reset. I have the week starting on Monday but it always goes to Locale default (which is Sunday) and also adds a default reminder of 15 minutes which I don't need. Any solution to fix that? Is there a way to manually change the system Locale default calendar day? I can deal with the reminder I guess but the week day throws me off every time.
Also when I had my iPhone in the email/Gmail app whenever I got an email with a date/time it would highlight it and let me add it to the calendar. Sadly I haven't seen this option here. On mobile anyway. Any mod that could fix that? I get my schedule emailed and it's a pain to add manually cuz I sometimes mess it up :/
