I've had my HD2 Since December and only recently started using it to write emails. I only connect to my hotmail account through windows live, I do not have an outlook account or similar.
I'm having a big problem with email formatting, does anyone else have the issue of emails being sent on only 1 line?
For example say I write: -
Dear Mr. X,
Thanks for your message.
Regards,
Mr Y.
The person the other end (including myself if I BCC myself) regardless of device, receives it like this
Dear Mr.X,Thanks for your message.Regards,Mr.Y.Sent From My HTC
Any ideas why this is happening?
If i write a brand new email it doesn't happen, its only when replying to someone. Also the email looks fine on the phone screen before sending.
Also is there a way of keeping sent emails in the sent folder liek happens for text messages? They seem to dissapear straight away once sent and I find it really annoying.
Is this Just another one of the many bugs with the HD2

Hi Folks
Don't know if i have found major flaw in the HTC Sense and Facebook sync software.
Here is the story, i have all my contacts stored on my phone with the correct phone numbers. And you know how you can link your contacts in your phone with there facebook profile so that you get there profile picture showing up and there latest status update scrolling along the screen when they call you? So that is all very pretty and cool but......
I have just discovered that if the persons profile has there phone number added to it, HTC will decide that it knows your contacts better than you and CHANGE the phone number you have stored in your phone for that person to an INCORRECT format.
Here is what i mean, the numbers in my phone book are stored as 07 or +447 as the start digits (I'm in the UK and all mobiles start 07). When i link the contact with there facebook profile and the profile has a phone number stored, HTC Sense will automatically change the number in my phone into the following format: 447*********
Now if you note that number has no + at the start of it and this means that i CANNOT phone that person! It took me about a month to work out why i couldn't call half the people in my phonebook, everytime i phoned someone it would say 'the number you have dialled has not been recognised!' and i eventually worked it out the HTC and Facebook have effed up my phone book.
Now this wouldn't be such an issue if you could edit the number to the correct format but you CAN'T!!! When you go to edit the number it shows the number in the correct format that i had originally entered it! ie. either 07 or +447!
So for the now i have had to unlink all my contacts from Facebook and have ended up with a pretty boring screen when people phone or txt me.
Anyone else had this issue? Or know how to fix it?
If HTC read this can you issue a fix? Because i don't think that you or facebook knows better than i do!
no problem here i have linked to facebook and my numbers work
I have both 447######## and 07######## type numbers they work ok
my 447 numbers are facebook contacts i did not have thier numbers previously and my 07 numbers are mates I already had their numbers and linked afterwards
Hope this helps
Well must b something to do with my network (o2) or whatever. Cos i certainly can't dial a 447 number.
But the main point i think is why does HTC think its knows what your stored number should be? lol
Cyberdyne systems are certainly starting to take over now surely! lolol
fail
epic fail i think
Indeed epic...
I got exactly the same problem with Polish operator Plus GSM -> cant call contact which was synchronized with Facebook...
HTC Sense shows all contacts which were synced with Facebook without leading "+" or "00" which ends up with message like "The number you have dialed has not been recognized"
Any one know how to fix it...??

P.S. Hope HTC will read this topic.. .
Same problem with me in Georgia.
only workaround, I've found is begging all my friends, not to specify phone numbers on facebook
If anyone has a solution, I will be very grateful.
Yep same here, definitely a bug. I will research this one....

Hi,
I contacted an official HTC Support to help in this case.
They confirmed that this bug exist, but they also pointed Facebook and the Facebook Phonebook as a bug source.
I was also recommended to use "Prefixer" from Android Market to temporarily solve this problem.
BR
Greg
Wow! thanks,
will try Prefixer as soon as I can
Yep it's a flaw, I used a little workaround but it would change back when receiving a text or something. Edit facebook number set it to home rather than mobile then let it save go back into out then save the homer number as mobile. I think that's how I did it. I use aosp rom now.

Foxy are you saying the AOSP ROM has this bug fixed out of the box? If so I can investigate that ROM and maybe make a patch
Prefixer works for calls but not for text

Hi,
It seems that they fix this problem.
Can anyone confirm..??

I heard htc will soon by releasing the latest sense ui v3.0 to all froyo models including wildfire.
Is it true?

Yeah, I'm sure you can reverse engineer HTC's crappy phone dialer/messaging/contacts.
AOSP works out of the box because it uses AOSP apps.
When I get certain SMS's from non-contact numbers the SMS application shows it to be from a certain friend of mine. It is not him and the real contact information of the sender is only shown correctly in the SMS widget.
But if I go into the SMS application the message is associated to a contact of mine who has nothing to do with the SMS.
example: when I am on roaming I get an SMS informing me I am on a certain roaming network. when i look into the SMS application it tells me that the SMS came from a friend of mine.
any solutions ?
I have this exact issue too.

so no solutions then ?
HTC haven't even responded to my query regarding this issue.
I think I can help you guys but in order to make sure that you are affected by the same problem, please try the following and let me know:
1) Try to edit one of your contacts (one you haven't modified before) in other words, not frequently used and select the option to block that contact. Now go to the list of blocked users. Is the one you blocked in there or someone else instead?
2) Try to change the ringtone for one of your contacts again. Is the ringtone changed or same as before?
I get that problem sometimes, with new contacts. But usally solves itself, after about 10-20 SMS?
Guys your missing the issue, when we receve calls or text from people NOT in our contacts, sometimes the device will just pick a random contact and say its from them lol

For the SMS problem use a non-stock sms app. Download GoSMS Pro or Handcent SMS. Do not uninstall the stock app but just take out the notification from stock app. I'm using GoSMS and it's better than stock IMO. You can for example backup your SMS to sd with it.
You could also try to use another dialer to correct the call problem. Go Dev team has also Go Contacts that provides you with Go Dialer. I'm using these also
For the contact thing. Have you tried to take off the Syncing of contacts from Accounts&Syncing?
Have you thought about installing a custom rom? There's nothing wrong with your phone, those are plain software issues...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
well i dont want to install any custom rom...ill spent a whole day in rooting it thn a new update is gonna be available very soon...thn again ill come to custom rom...that seems to b a complete waste of time...
I had the same issue with the contacts, but once I deleted the duplicates (and not transferring from the old phone since they were already backed up on my google account)
select to view and take off SIM contacts. clears up a lot of the duplicates issues.
Search sms time fix in the market, when installed set it to use phone's time.
fixes the issue. The new 2.36 ruu doesnt fix the time issue.
The DHD will try to merge all your contacts from all your linked accounts. I had a similar problem as HTC Sense for Facebook and Twitter will run alongside the Facebook and Twitter apps. You need to check sync to make sure you don't duplicate accounts. Remove the duplicate accounts could help your problem.

Hi to all
I've bought the galaxy tab10.1v a few days ago, I have to tell you its an awesome tablet
For now I only have one problem, I managed to install the whatsapp application but I can't put it to work, it opens but none of.my contacts appear
Any help please ....what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

How come there are so many views and any answer /help?

I don't think Whatsapp has been designed with Tablets in mind though I was hoping to use it when I get mine. Firstly are you sure you have got it set up correctly, I can't remember when I first set mine up on my phone but I think once I installed I had to put in the phone number I was using and then got a text message from Whatsapp on that number.
Again not sure on this next part but the Tab 10.1V doesn't have text message functionality does it? If not then I don't think it is set up correctly.
Anyway, lets assume that it is. The second issue is that Whatsapp syncs with your contacts from the phone book and the tablet doesn't have phone functionalities so won't have a phonebook.
I have a feeling that the phone version of Android 2.3 and below may store contact information in a different location to where Android 3.0 and above stores it so the app won't be able to find any of your contacts.
This is purely just guessing, you might want to shoot Whatsapp a quick message and see if that is the case or maybe do a Google search. They've had between 5-10million installs already so I'm sure there must be someone that has tried it on a Honeycomb Tab already
Thanks for your Help
I will look in to it and let you know something
Best regards

Look over at the whatsapp thread under the Xoom forum. I managed to get it working, but it won't run on the same account for 2 different devices at the same time (as Skype does), so I'm not using it.
How did you managed to do it?
I had no problems installing Whatsapp from official site, not the market, on my 10.1v after installing TB Galaxy 1.0.3 rom. I received sms validation, but never managed to add any contacts. Any hints?
Easy as a piece of cake!
Guys, actually it's very simple. I tried it myself and works.
Here's how:
Use the SIM card (mobile number) and insert into Tab 10.1 that you want your contact to see if you are online. This is also the number that you will be using to send/receive Whatsapp.
Download the latest Whatsapp here and install it on your Tab
Run Whatsapp and key in the SIM card mobile number and wait for it to verify
Wala... now you have a running Whatsapp!
Every mobile broadband card there is a number associated. If you do not know what is the number of the sim card, then take out the SIM card and plug it into a working phone, create a sms and send it to yourself and you will see a number popping up. That is the number you should key in Whatsapp.
NOTE: Because the number you are using in Whatsapp will determine who will see or will not see you online, therefore, I recommend either you inform your contacts that you have two Whatsapp running. One is on Tab while the other is on your phone. You cannot run both together using one number, but you can also circumvent if you intend to use it on your Tab rather than your phone, just use the SIM number that you are using for calls and insert into Tab to verify then take out the SIM and put back to your phone. It will still work.
It's easy and someone made it complicated. I thought so too initially!
PS: you won't be able to see your contact list as usual.
whatsapp is working correctly, BUT the contacts will only show up as numbers. and yes, im only running one instance of whatsapp.
as im reading this, do you mean that all your contacts needs to be on the SIM card and not using google contacts?
Whatsapp support mail
This is what official support answered me: "Sorry, tablets are not supported at this time and we have no plans to support them."

not working for me.
Try Viber, similar to whatsapp but can see all contacts. However, Viber can't seems to allow attachment of pic and clips. Anyone has ideas?
i found a way to use whatsapp with contacts, in a way.
Note my screen shot on the top half with names listed icons. (1st screenshot)
You can set whatsapp as default messaging and by pressing the friend icon, goes straight to a whatsapp conversation.
(2nd screenshot)
Note this.
You will need to keep all conversations and never delete them, otherwise you will need to get your friend to initiate a new conversation. But no big deal.
I tried everything else and this is the only way.
Hope that helped someone.
now the contacts accept whatsapp.
just set the default messaging service to what'sapp on the friend icon.
once your in contacts and press the contacts name, it shows the what's app icon as seen in the screenshot.
Works perfectly.
Update.
saving the contacts under device only makes what's app possible and only then will the icon appear under the contact.
Also. Now the contacts list can access whatsapp like it should.
Always get your friend to initiate the conversation and save it from there.
Transferring old account from the adroid phone trick does not work so this is the best way.
to bad this isent with wifi only ,
is there a way like imessage, or ping to use on tablets?
