I am used to using Sense 3.0, with ARHD 6.3.2. I have two email accounts setup. I can long press on a homescreen, and choose to add a shortcut, and then select "Mail Account" and then it asked me which account. I select Yahoo and then I have an email shortcut on my homescreen that opens my Yahoo account immediately. I can do the same for my Hotmail account.
Funny enough, one big reason I love Sense so much is because of how nice this shortcut works. The icon will show a little number to tell me how many new messages are waiting.
But then I loaded up Sense 4.0 (Ice Sense, with Sense 4.0 Lite, and then Virtuous with full Sense 4.0), and the mail shortcut is gone.
I now loaded up Blackout, with Sense 3.6.....same thing, no more mail shortcut.
Does anyone know how to get a Sense mail shortcut to a specific account? Can others check their sense phone to see if they have the ability? Thanks!
Try Desktop Visualizer, it's Free from the market. It can create shortcuts to almost anything you want.
You can also create a shortcut to mail inboxes.

Just got around to trying Desktop Visualizer. No luck. You select the icon, then you go to select the "action". For the action, you can select an app, or a shortcut.....the same options as when you create anything on your homescreen. Meaning, there is not shortcut for individual mailboxes. I''m surprised no one else is seeing this on the latest Senses...3.6 and even 4.0. No shortcuts to individual mailboxes.
What I did is I went into my app drawer and the Yahoo wasn't there, so I downloaded the app from the play store and then I was able to add the shortcut.
Hope that helps

Let me understand you well. You have multiple mail accounts and you want to create separate shortcuts for each one. Well if this is what you would like to do, well you can do it with Desktop Visualizer.
Once you create a shortcut and click on it. You are given a choice between 3 options: App - Other - Shortcut.
Choose Other. Then choose Mail. Then a it will show you the different mail accounts you have configures. Choose the one you like.
You can see how it's done in the images below:

Hmm, can you do me a favour, and try to add a regular shortcut without Desktop Visualizer....just long press on your homescreen, and select Shortcut, and see if you have the option of Mailboxes. I think you can see the option in Desktop Visualizer because the option is always available to you. I'm just curious. Thanks.
No it is not available in the default sense menu. Just to make sure, is this the app you installed? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr&hl=en
Also, which option is missing in your case? "Other" or "Mail" or the individual mail choice menu ?
Just checked again. Under Other, I don't have an option for Mailboxes. Just Messages (like texts). Maybe it's a rom thing?? I notice I don't have it with some of the Sense 4 Lite and Sense 4 full roms, and also my current Sense 3.6 rom. Something fishy.
Hmmm... that's weird. It could be a ROM thing. :/
I figured it out. I had been restoring my mail accounts successfully using Titanium backup. But now I see, if you do that, Sense doesn't recognize that any mailboxes have been created. The mail accounts work fine, except for this one problem. So if I setup my two accounts manually, I then get the option for Mailboxes. Sorry for the confusion guys.
Great! It becomes frustrating, I know

Is there any setting or a third party app that will allow all emails (from all accounts), text and mms messages to be viewed together (just like a blackberry?) If it would also show sent messages, that would be even better.
Thanks
I use SPB Diary. It is a Today Screen plugin that will display all of those based on the settings you specify. It will also show your contacts with pictures and calender events. It's a pretty good program.
thanks - i have checked out SPB Diary but the messaging view still shows the emails/text messages in separate accounts - rather than all messages being in one common folder/view.
Try going to the options section on messages in Diary and configure it to show all of them in the same folder. I'm pretty sure you can do that.

Zumstin,
I am using Spb Diary (v2.5 - latest) and cannot find anything that allows presentation of all messages ungrouped. On mine they are grouped by Hotmail, MMS, text, Pop3 etc). I have to say that this suits me completely - without such grouping how would I know which account they had been received into .
Regards
Yes you are right. I went back and checked. You can show them all in the same window, but they are separated by accounts. I prefer that way as well. In any case I think this might be as close as you can get to what you are looking for. I've been known to to be wrong before though.

Has anyone installed PocketInformant 9.01 on to their HD2? If so, any issues? Can you make PI the default Calendar for the Home Screen?
Thanks.
-Bob-
Hi,
I use PI 9 on my HD2. No issues so far. I have put the PI icon in a tab on the homescreen and unchecked the box for the normal calender-tab.

Just to make sure I understand you...You were able to turn off the default Calendar on the bottom tabs and add the PI link instead? I didn't realize that you could ADD links to the bottom tabs; I thought you could only remove them. Can you send a screen shot?
Thanks.
-Bob-
Hi there,
No, I didn't explain it good.
The tabs with Contacts, SMS, Mail, Internet etc you can't change. I just unchecked the Calender tab for those tabs so you won't see it. When you leave it in the tabs, it's just the normal Windows calender whats in it, even when you make PI your default calender.
So as I said, I 'disabled' the normal calender tab, and I put a shortcut to PI on the frontpage under the clock.
Hope this explains it for you.
Cheers.

Ahhh, that's what I thought. Thanks.
softkey
Or the PI link under the left soft key (normally "telephone") so you have an extra tab/button/shortcut. The telephone can already be activated by the left hard key (or via contact). In PI I use the calender, as the task is quite hard to ues with the Leo. It;s virtually impossible to key in a date in a new task. And contacts is less good than all the new fuctionalities is Sense. But the calendar is worth it,now you can go up/down/left and right. Amazing.
Hey,
I finally bought a new HD2
I've some problems,
1. I can't get Contact order to set as First Name First and Last Name last. Its just Last Name first now. How do I change that?
2. Also has anyone managed to get Google Exchange working properly? Im able to sync mails, but not Contacts or Calendar entries?
Will add more doubts if I come across.
P.S. Ive searched before posting. If I did miss, kindly show me the link

1. If you go to contacts, then select the contact, edit, and a few lines down is "file as". It's labourious so may be easier to do from a PC
If you go to "people", you need to go to the contact, edit, scroll down to reach "more" at the end and it puts you in the contact edit field described aboce.
2. No idea, sorry.
Google Sync working fine here using the settings as per their set up pages, Calender and Contacts working.
for mass managing of the contacts in the right order you can use 'contacts changer 1.3'

Thanks a lot brother! That made the task a whole lot simpler!
Just a note that Contacts changer is not free anymore.
Now another problem I've been facing is that, Im not able to Copy Paste in Contacts app. Like I want to Cut one fields details and put it in another field, but whenever I select the text, and try to tap on it inoder to hold and get the menu, the text gets deselected.
Im not able to Copy-Cut-Paste properly.

Be carefull because Google Sync doesn't support Task synchronization.
You've to disactivate it to be able to synchronize Contacts, Calendar & Mails.
^^ Yea bro. You're right! Tasks was the issue! Now everything works perfect
But the CopyPaste problem still exists for the Contacts app (among other random apps) Any solution for that?
I think the only solution is to install a keyboard that has Cut/Copy/Paste functions.
My favourite is Touchpal but there are others that do this.
Ironically the original WinMo keyboard did include the Ctrl key so these operations were possible

The problem exists in HTC's PEOPLE app but not in the CONTACTS app located in the Outlook folder in the START menu.

after using oggsync (app install needed on the phone) for more than one year, i just discovered nuevasync (no install, use activsync), it can sync till 11calendar with free account, contacts, etc... seems to work very great
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!
http://www.developingtrends.co.uk/Software/Facebook/Fonebook/Default.aspx
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 =/
So the question is, I want to use a contacts button that uses the Sense contacts on my quick links rather than have a People's tab. But the problem is when I go through CHT's add/remove I only see the standard winmo contacts (Referring to the app not individual persons). I tried using Resco File Explorer search to see if I could find the .exe but couldn't figure out which one it could be.

I think you have to copy your contacts to the phone because it will not see your sim contacts. I just did what you where wanting to do and it worked...but when I first got my phone I copied all the contacts to the phone and hid the sim contacts and it shows all my contacts and keeps the pictures in the quicklinks icon. Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply, but once again I'm not looking for individual contacts. I'm looking to use the full sense contacts app.

I am confused you are trying to make a quicklink that will take you to the people tab?! You might just want to make the people tab be one of the first ones...not sure what the order you have you tabs in but you can for to start settings personalize homescreen tabs..and move it.
