I have a few problems with the app and I was wondering if there was some remediation for them (including fixing my ignorance)
The automatic profile engages vibration mode during any calendar item, including free events
The weather doesn't auto update on its own, when I open the tab, it is either old or empty and starts to update then.
there is no snap back to the main tab
pressing the mail indicators doesn't take you to the account with new mail, it goes to the last account viewed
I have used HTC Home Customizer, but that mainly does colors and icons. I know it is free, but I'd like MORE from it for my convenience

First of all I use the standard/non mod HTC Home from this link, I also installed HHC from here.
I do not understand your first concern.
I guess with the second, it is a good point not wasting data when it's not needed, you only want to pull down data when required. So I actually like what it does and how it does it.
With the third concern, I put a device lock button and it snaps back to the home screen.
I have two email accounts set up for my device, one is a windows live, and another is a google apps account, basically Gmail via IMAP, so when I click on the mail it brings up the two accounts and let me see which one has the blue with 1 on it, indicating the mail box with new email.
Sorry can't be much help but just sharing what I experienced.
If I have an all day free event... like "Pay Day", it stays in automaic vibrate all day. If I delete the event, is switches to normal. It should only change into meeting/vibrate mode during "busy" events
I haven't found any switch back settings, where did you set that?
I have 4 accounts, 5 including sms/mms, so I have to page back and forth between accts looking for unread email. I suppose I can try to set the account picker as messaging start
I am now not following your 'switch back' function. I put device lock, and when I touch on that it locks the keyboard/screen and puts up the home screen
With events I set my diary and set it as 'free' it didn't interfere with the profile, but may be I have spb phone suite installed.
again I use the standard one and modified it with HHC.
Look at this! It might your profile that you selected.
I just uncheck that tab in the HTC Home options... Then I don't have to worry about it automatically changing my ringer to vibrate
I thought that I could just settle for HTC home, as it seems pretty light weight... but I need more functionality, so back to PhoneWeaver I go...and iLauncher I suppose
Just ahead of MS' My Phone beta this week, here comes Google Mobile Sync for WinMobile, with Exchanged-based Contacts and Calendar sync to the Google cloud. As its push based, changes in one end automatically get pushed to the other.

GMail Imap frustrates a lot of users, add Gmail to this Exchange-solution in the cloud, and I would never look back at Imap.
very nice i was waiting for this so long. Now only a way to download it... lol IE explorer and opera both give me: Google sync is not supported by your device. It becomes time google puts in a link to manually override this auto detecting crap, because it obviously doesnt work all to well...
This could be interesting but how well does Outlook 2003 sync with Google (in the sky)?
I use Google Calendar to Sync my outlook files so that I can share my calendar but if this does that for me, then I suppose I don't need to do that step (other than it would save my data plan!)

There is no application to download, you just setup activesync on your phone as shown at this link

nice. Although i'd only use this if you could turn off the contact sync. You could end up with a contact list full of your gmail suggested contacts...
I think you can indeed turn off the contact sync. Just uncheck "Contacts" in the ActiveSync settings dialog. Haven't tested this yet, but should do, doesn't it?
I use www.nuevasync.com that offers a very similar service for some time now.
And since a few months ago it doesn't add those suggested contacts anymore because googles api can seperate them. Perhaps I'll try sync and see if it works as well as nuevasync does.
I use OggSync Pro works great for what I need

I can see how to Manually Refresh the Calendar (Menu --> Refresh in the Calendar App) and Facebook feeds but cannot see the option to Manually Refresh Facebook Contacts and Google Contacts.
Where is this? Thanks
You can do Google contacts via...
Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> Manage Accounts, Google -> Sync Contacts
I'm not sure if you can do Facebook contacts that way too though, as I don't use Facebook.
Thanks but that's how you do it automatically.
You have to mess around enabling and then disabling it again. The Sync button cannot be used unless you enable (tick) it but by doing so, you're also enabling the Automatic Sync. Yes it also works for Facebook Contacts but the same rule applies.
I'm not sure there's an option like the one for the calendar, but if you're concerned about how often this is happening, and want to only allow updates on demand, one option would be to use the "Power Control" widget and you could then control them all with one click on, or off.
Probably not quite what you're after, but the best compromise I can think of at the moment!
Maybe someone else will have a better idea...
Thanks. I'll have a look. What does the half moon with antenna coming out of it button do? On this widget.
That switches the GPS on or off.
Ah. Thanks.
Are there any alternatives for Facebook for HTC Sense? It seems to be hanging up my auto-sync all the time and I get tired of having to kill it. However, I have a feeling it's the only thing that will work with HTC's People app, since the Facebook app's sync doesn't seem to work.

can't you set it to sync like once a day? I have mine (HTC) syncs just contacts once a day and not sync feed at all. Turned off sync on the Facebook (Android) version.
You are probably have it set to sync freqently for feeds and such.
settings -> accounts & sync -> check it out
hope it helps!

I have it set to every day, but it seems like when it goes to do that sync every day, it never ends. The sync icon will be there all day until I get tired of it, go into Accounts & Sync and cancel the sync. Accounts & Sync doesn't show anything "actively" syncing at the time, but if I remove Facebook for HTC Sense I never have the problem, so it has to be the cause.
Does Facebook (Android) actually work in Accounts & Sync? It shows up in the list when I add an account, but selecting it does nothing.
You can just go on facebook with the browser. The mobile touch and full site work fine.
Hi all,
I have rather strange problem or maybe not! I've used to my Hero so maybe this is a new "feature". I have a doubled facebook contacts - it is syncing them twice. It took me a few moments to realize that on Desire HD, the facebook app is syncing contacts in parallel with Facebook for HTC Sense (the integrated one). I've opened up Accs & Sync only to find out there are two entries for facebook one for "Facebook" and one for "Facebook for HTC Sense". I stood still for a while wondering "what the h**l"?! I figured out that the stupid Facebook app is trying to sync my contacts (because maybe it's thinking I don't have HTC Sense, but a phone without Facebook integration). After some comparison with the Hero I've noticed that in the Hero's FB App (FB v.1.5.0 - the same as the one on Desire HD) there is no Sync Contacts option in settings ....
So I am thinking maybe ... the phone is not recognized by the FB app and that's why it's adding a second sync profile and doubling my FB contacts.
This is not an actual issue because I can always turn off the sync into the FB app (I will still have the sync profile in Accs & Sync because if it's removed the facebook app stops working - it asks for login details). The real issue is, that I no longer can have notifications on the taskbar for facebook events (updates, reqests and so on ..) and I am thinking maybe theese are related somehow?
Or it is because of HTC Sense - in the Hero there is an option for the updates and events (Phone>People>Updates & Events>Setting). In Desire HD there is no such thing there. Instead similar setting are found when you open a contact and select "Updates & Events", but there are no options for updates and events notifications!
Is this the same on your devices !? Or I've messed something up.
Android OS version is the last OTA. Phone is not rooted.
