Hi,
I'm pretty new to the Hero and Android, but loving both! A million miles better then symbian!
I'm having an issue with the email notifications, I have ditched the touch wizz interface and am using the standard one which I find a lot more user friendly, as part of the desktop I have two email accounts listed but with regards unread emails neither update in sync with the phone notificationseg the notifications say I've 6 unread mails the folder shortcut says I've got 2... is there a fix for this?
Also as an aside, is there a radio on this phone or an app I can get?
Thanks
First, it is slow ( I am comparing with iphone3Gs)
Adn then, it might be me, but it does an awful work at displaying emails with images...by the way Gmail seems to display them correctly.
On HTCMail, everytime there is an embedded image (html mail), it displays a button "show Images", which I push and then the emails are always empty. Never got to show images.
I have seen many reviews comparing Hero and iphone3GS...and none of them point to the fact the Hero is just not on par with iphone's email.
Is there any email client better at doing its job than Hero's bundled one ?
It is a shame for a smartphone to handle emails so poorly.
From my point of view, this is the first feature that needs to be impeccable on a smartphone, and for me , Hero is just not close to do that..
thanks for any advices,
and yes I have a 16G sd card CLass6 and store attachements on the card.
By the way, already tried K9 and it's plain text and does a worse job than HTCMail
I thought the same thing at first. Have you altered the mail settings, Send & Receive, Mail size limit, set it to no limit and it should show the whole email.
Just setting it at 100KB for mail size should allow most HTML emails to download and render. Only the very large ones would ask you to display images.
HTC Mail is slow to open, but seems to work pretty well IMHO.
Have to agree... Coming from FlexMail I find the default mail client awful.... And I am eagerly waiting for a thirdparty client that does the task better (which shouldn't be that hard...)

Well, K9 does at least display all plain-text elements in emails. HTC-mail can't even do that, as it for example refuses to display digitally signed messages even though the message body itself is plain text.
HTC is IMHO too obsessed with eye-candy. Their current offering is lagging behind even the plain email-application that comes with the android 1.5 dev-kit their current SW is based on.
Well, there is something definitely wrong in all those "hero vs iPhone3GS" battle style reviews !
They completely forget that most of us buy a smartphone to "keep in touch"...and while many people are crazy about facebook, twitter and all recent social network apps, I do use plain old style regular email for communicating and for the time being, Android is not on par with Iphones and Blackberrys...
My verdict...I am going back to my (lightning fast...compared to Hero) iphone 3GS.
Thanks to all of you that tried to help out through this thread !
Cheers!

Hey everybody!
I presume there won't be too many people that will have had experience with the SMS sync feature, so I hope one or two people out there can help me.
I have the problem that everthing is activated, but it only synced the last conversation with my mate (so lets say 2 text messages out of a couple of hundred).
Anyone have an idea how to force exchange to sync ALL the messages?
Using a Touch Pro 2, in case that should help diagnostics move along a bit
Unfortunately i'm having this same issue. I would like to simply recreate the whole SMS/MMC folder in my Exchange box, but havn't found a way to force the behavior. I get the feeling SMS syncing was a last minute thought and not completely fleshed out.
As I said, strange thing is that everything that is coming in on the phone is now being synced...
all the messages prior aren't, with the exception of the 2 sms between me and my mate.
Gotta love Microsoft. Never gets boring....
Has anyone experienced any issues with syncing sms messages on the newer builds of 23xxx? Specifically I've noticed that when I send the messages from Outlook 2010, sometimes (not always) my phone gets really sluggish. The process activesync.exe starts using up tons of CPU usage. I'm currently using a HD2 using Kumar's ROM based on WM 6.5.5 b23569

I can definitely confirm that for my HTC HD Mini. It has a wm6.5.3 stock rom, i had to use Zenyee patch to disable HTC Messaging to get SMS Sync working, because HTC screwed up on that.
And I can confirm, that sending SMS through Outlook 2010 slows down the device and ActiveSync goes up to 98% cpu usage.
Any news on that? A hotfix or something?
Any solutions to this yet? I'm having the same issues + the issue that I can't send sms from Outlook but only from Outlook OWA

you need outlook 2010 to be able to send SMS's from outlook itself, any other version will not work, ive had 2003, 2007 and now 2010, and only 2010 does it.
also ive expirienced my phone being slow and useless when SMS syncing is enabled, its really a pain in the ass.
ive gone through 20 phones in the last 2 months, constantly buying and selling, its getting ridiculous, no 1 phone does everything i want.
all i need is full exchange connectivity (tasks and sms included), mobile office so i can use my spreadsheets, slide out keyboard, 3G, decent camera with flash. its obviously neither android, WM or apple can meet all those requirements.
Can someone build ROM without HTC Messages ?.The reason for that is htc messages does nos support SMS Sync function With Exchange 2010 servers.I try HTC Support but they tell me that there is no way to syncronyze text messages with Exchange server.
I found a cab that disables the new functionality (htc messages)and revert back to Windows Mobile messaging application but the TEXT tab in manila is a mess and not realy working properly .With old (stock) application syncing works fine .
That particular problem is on every HTC device that is using HTC Messages and Windows Mobile 6.5.
Wow HTC - you suck this time !
OK I think I have finally figured out why the CM6.0 or CM6.1 email app does not work with my exchange server. My company loves to block unsupported devices. Aka the iPhone doesn't work only windows mobile is suppose to work by their documents. But i do know that they allow the HTC email app to work on the Evo, and when i was running CM5.08 i was able to use HTC Work Email.apk ... SO Palm, HTC , and Windows Mobile Device Type / Ids are allowed on the server, there is no way i can get the company to change those rules.
Does anyone know how to get a working HTC Sense Email app to work on CM6.1? IF so please tell me how.
Or if you do not think that will work, is there a way to change the Device Type or Device ID Fields for the stock android email app?
Please any help would be awesome. I love Cyanogen and don't want to switch to a sense mod, but my Exchange email is so important.
You can't use any Sense Apps on AOSP
Why the hell are so many people asking to use HTC apps on non-Sense devices??? IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! The only app that I am aware of is the HTC Music app. That's it! You can't use dialer, contacts, browser, twitter, friendster, weather, email, rosie, etc.
It's because of the framework and kernel differences. It'll be so much easier to create an app that is similiar to HTC's than to use the original. Honestly though... if you like Sense UI so much... get a device with Sense UI. It'll be much easier.
Personally i love AOSP, the only reason i was looking for it was because the HTC email app on sence is much better and free. Well and my company doesnt block that email app like they do the stock one.
