Hey guys,
I am having an issue with the media panel, could someone confirm that they have the same problem please?
Its more of a logic issue; When I select an artist I cannot choose "All albums" in order to see all songs from that specific artist. However there is an "All albums" button if you go to albums firts ( album->all albums instead of artist->album ).
Anyone else with the same problem?
Cheers
Just got my HD and one thing I have noticed is active sync seems to be trying (every few minutes) to make a connection to/synching with something as I noticed upon checking the "quick menu" in the top right hand corner that Active Sync is listed in the quick menu, if I then close it by clicking the "x" it clears from the list. I then check it again a few minutes later and it's back in the quick menu again??
So it seems to keep opening up and running in the background, for some reason, is this "how it is" or is there a way to stop this?
I haven't setup active sync to connect/sync with anything it’s just as it came out the box?
Any help appreciated, not really a problem as such but not really much point in it continually trying to sync when it has nothing to sync with??
I'havent received my HTC HD yet, but on my FSC loox N560 PDA the situation with ActiveSync is the same. It always opens in the background no matter how many times you shut it down. Unfortunately I think that's just the way it is...
Hello,
First post here - what a great resource this is and what a great device the HD2 is. One small frustration is that when I read email in the HTC software then it isn't marked as read until I open it in the standard windows email viewer. Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks,
James
Yeah this is annoying me too!
Alternatively - is there a way of configuring the HD2 so when the email icon is pressed then it launches the underlying Outlook tool rather than the HTC one. I another route to this end would be to create a shortcut to Outlook on the home page.
Thanks,
James
I dont use outlook to sync my Hd2. So it would be nice with something which resolved this...
Yeah, this bugs me too.
What's the point in HTC going to all those lengths to make a really nice email tab where you can read incoming messages without opening the outlook browser, and then not have a way of marking the messages as read.
It should either be an automatic thing, where viewing an email on the tab marks it as read, or there should be a "mark as read" option in the menu. (God forbid anyone wants a "delete" menu option too!)
A solution to this would be very welcome.

this was bugging me too - happily there is a simple solution which the clever folks here created

just installed it - i now have "mark all as read" as an option in the inbox menu... one of my HD2 niggles just vanished....
edit - just noticed this also adds a "delete all" function too.... with power comes great responsibility.... happily it does ask you to confirm before deleting your entire inbox...
this is a better link to the .cab which fixes it

Thank you!
Is there some sort of application that allows me to link contacts to facebook pages from my computer, and then somehow mass updates the contacts on the phone? The link to facebook is just some XML in the contact notes, so in principle this should be possible.
The same question has been asked here yesterday - i can't post the link as there is a restriction from doing so *rubbish* but it's topic id is 636175 and isn't too far down the forum...
Anyways, it apparently works with myphone, but I don't seem the XML that everyone else does for some reason and so my facebook links don't save

when you sync back your contacts after a flash/hard reset, the data to link them to their facebook equivalents should already be there. However, the links won't start to work until you have reassigned your 'me' contact card to your facebook account. When you do that, you should find the facebook links are restored. (not the facenbook app)
i'm afraid that's not what i'm looking for, myphone backs up my contact facebook associations just fine, i'm just looking for a simpler way to create those associations in the first place, preferably through the computer
Sorry if I misunderstand you, but doesn't the people/facebook app pop up and say 'click here to associate your contacts' and most of them are already pre-checked?
Note I'm NOT talking about the one on an individual person's page, but the one on the 'all people' list.
In the two seconds that process takes, 80% of my contacts were covered. The other 20% being people who I have as 'Jon XYZ' but they are 'Jonathan XYZ' on FB (or vice-versa.)
Or are you one of those people who doesn't do first name/last name and is looking for a way to get around that?
that's exactly what i need! it didn't do that with me, is there a way launch that synchronization manually?
I'm... not sure. I'm sure there is but I don't know how.
Just to make sure you're not missing anything obvious:
Go to the People tab
Click All People at the bottom
You're now at the "All" tab within a new screen -- you should see your fb contact as "Me" listed as the second contact -- do you see this 'link your facebook contacts' around here? (If it exists on this screen, it'll be one of the top three contacts.)
If not, use the slider on that same screen to scroll over to 'Updates and Events'. You'll see yourself at the very top here, and I'm almost positive that it was on this screen where it had 'link your contacts.' It wasn't in a menu or anything, it was very prominently displayed as one of the top items.
When/if you can find that screen, it's basically a dumb match that looks for Contacts(First Name,Last Name) = Facebook(First Name,Last Name). I'm not sure if it pairs on email address, but AFAIK it needs the full name to be exactly the same.
HTH.
**This all assumes you entered your facebook credentials when setting up your phone (or from the data sync menu under the settings tab afterwards) - completely separate from any fb app you may have on your phone. I'm pretty sure you have done this since you mentioned the XML in the contacts but just to be absolutely positive.
I've been looking at this problem since you first posted, and the main problem I see is that I can't see a way to un associate the me contact from face book (in order to re associate so that the contact association screen comes up)
dashed annoying!
i see what you mean, i'm going to look for a way to do that
Have you tried Fonebook!

I can do all the sync with facebook and Outlook. Give a look at this!

I think you could momentarily switch off the Facebook connection altogether do accomplish that. It's under "Data services" (on the settings tab).

Yea, thanks, that got it, however when i logged back in (through 'me' contact card) it doesnt ask about associations as when you do it the first time. Oh well.
i just found an option do associate the contacts for you! if u scroll to the contacts tab in HTC sense then scroll to updates and events (its the picture of the person with a clock next to their head) i had a button at the tob which said 'Associate contacts: XX new associations found (xx being the number of new associations)' tap this and select the contacts you want to update (by default it selects all) then tap ok. it will create the associations for any contacts that arnt associated. it will also set the default contact picture to the facebook profile. it will make your contacts lag a bit while it downloads the info but after that it runs fine
if it helps im running 1.66 official hd2 rom from HTC, with radio 2.08

Sorry to reopen this thread, but I'm one of those people! I would also be interested in finding a way to add/backup my fb associations on the PC as MyPhone does not seem to sync them for me I get the fb id's in the <sn> field but not in the <facebook> ones =/
Does anyone know whether it's possible to make a HTML email resize itself so that the email fits into the entire screen?
I'm referring to the "Mail" bit after a double-tap to open a particular email.
I'm looking for a fix/tweak similar to what this does to the webpage on Opera
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627441&highlight=screen+capture
At the moment when I open a HTML formatted email, i can only see the top left hand corner and to read the email, I have to tap the ">> Tap to scroll right" option before it'll allow me to move around the email to see the rest it.
I've tried searching but can't seem to find anything
Any help would be much appreciated - Thanks!
any solution for the above mentioned problem??
I'm having the same problem and it's so annoying scrolling everytime to read the mail...
