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

How do I set up my email so that it leaves a copy on the server so when I get to my laptop the message can be downloaded? I do my email on my laptop but need to be able to receive / send email from my HTC as well. Thanks!
By using POP account setup. I have POP on my TP2 and on my home computer... On my home computer I have set on the account settings that when I remove the email in my Outlook it will remove it from the server...

So ... what is the setting on your TP2 that specifies, "do not remove from server"?
There is a setting on the edvanced settings menu when you setup the account, or go to edit the account settings.

use imap instead of pop. pop downloads messages and wont mark them as read on the server or delete them after a month or whenever you set it, and some pop clients delete the email from the server after its pulled. imap is much more advanced and if you can get imap-idle you get push email support.
Leave Email on Server, and other Advanced Settings
I have been frustrated with this issue also. I use my phone for POP email when I am away from my computer. It is almost always business, and I need to keep records of communications in one place. Using Outlook, I archive all old emails to a network server. Since installing my current ROM, I have been unable to find access to the email size, signature and delete handling options. As a result, emails that I delete from the phone also get deleted from the server before I download them to my PC. This is a big problem since I sometimes delete messages from my phone without taking action - planning to deal with them the next day from the office. Dealing with multiple email accounts and up to 50 messages per day makes the phone very cluttered unless I regularly clear them out.
I just discovered the "back door" into the old WinMo style advanced email settings using a tip from another thread regarding email signatures.
I am using the Energy ROM (08-Sep-10, which I love). Here is how to get to the advanced email settings:
1) From any email Inbox (not the Sense screen) tap Menu/Tools/Options to get to the Messaging settings page.
2) Tap an email account on the list.
3) Tap "Send/Receive Schedule".
4) Tap "Advanced Settings" at the bottom of the screen.
5) Choose your option under "When deleting messages:"
Other advanced options are also available this way, including email signatures for each account, as well as download size and scheduling.
I'm happy again!

Thank you for resurrecting this 9 month old thread.
I too thank you for posting this. I needed to change this on one of my accounts but had forgotten where the change needed to be made. You saved me lots of time searching.
Again, thanks much for the direction.
Hi,
I am having a problem with setting up email on my UK T-mobile TP2. Since i got the handset last year I have to set up my email accounts (gmail) in 2 stages. Firstly, I use the email tab on the homescreen to add a new account. If i leave it at this stage I get an error about not being able to connect.
I stumbled across a solution, and that means I need to press the physical windows button on the front of my handset (brining up the grid of icons) then selecting the "email" icon. then I set up the email (again) from here. This then clears the problem for me.
However, I no longer have the email icon when I press the windows button and I cannot find it anywhere in windows?!?
Does anyone know where this icon points to in windows, as I cannot send/receive any email until i find it and set it up.
Please, anyone!?!?

my email shortcut reads:
:MSINBOX -pickeroption
It is an internal command, that is why you can't find the executable file. Create a shortcut using the above info.
Hello guys,
I'm using Desire HD
Dutch
Android 2.3.5
HTC Sense 3.0
SW number: 3.13.161.3
(all the latest updates)
Recently I updated my Adobe Flash/Reader/Air apps, google maps app, and facebook app.
Now I get many problems:
(by the way: I can only use WiFi, since I'm abroad and don't want to spend roaming costs)
- Facebook app doesn't show anything, keeps showing "loading" on the main screen.
- First time I did this, I got messages saying new contacts found for syncing. (but that is strange because all my contacts where already synced with facebook)
- Then there came the next problem, all my contacts lost there (facebook) profile picture!???
- Another issue occured when going to the Facebook website (with the built-in explorer) it loaded until the pictures (so text loaded fine, the bleu lines on top etc. fine, but no profile pictures, no ticker on the right, no pictures of actual photos just uploaded by friends in the newsstream (frontpage)... and it just "hangs"???
- Opening a new tab and just going to google.com also just "hangs".
- Closing all tabs, and kill all apps using a app killer, and killing the WiFi connection and reconnect, then google.com loaded fine again.
But still, FB website, the FB app and profile pics (linked to FB) in contacts, all don't work anymore.
What can be wrong?
I already tried: Facebook HTC Sense Not Updating Contacts Resolved by Joe Lovrek Published by Jul 27 2010 (google it) ,, but didn't work.
I also tried changing FB settings on my desktop computer on the FB normal webpage, changing the secure https setting back to htttp setting. No good.
Can anybody help?
Please ask for more info if needed!
Ok little update on this matter:
After a lot of playing around with deleting FB accounts/sync. , delete caches and update and return to previous versions etc....
And changing securitysettings in facebook (desktop version), deleting apps/website in the account settings... etc.etc.
I now got it all installed again, but still no FB profile pics in contacts app, and also when opening facebook app, only text appears, no photo's (like photo's that friends uploaded in your mainscreen, or your own pofile pic left upper corner.... that stuff)
But I tapped on my photoalbums and tapped on a photo, and just left it there.....
after 2/3minuten seeing the black screen with the greyish squares on it, all of a sudden the picture appeared!!
And now when I have the FBapp open for some time,,,all photos start to appear! (Randomly in random albums!!)
What the ????
Whats wrong with the app or my phone that loading the pics in the app (and thus profile pics aswell) can be done, but takes forever!???
Is there a background program running in android limiting photos?? Or is it the adobe flash / adobe air update that causes it??
Problem solved, but another arised:
Problem with having FB and Whatsapp and loading images on the FB website with stock internet app was:
- Firewall / port issues with my WiFi,,,I use connectify to turn my laptop into a router aswell, and in its settings, uPnP was on. I switch it all off and I could download the images again.
But now another problem happens:
- after the hard reset and installing everything again from scratch, my stock mail app does weird: when I first openend it, I as normal, created a account, a gmail account, and it works fine, but I want all mail and max size. So I want all my 2000+ emails in my phone aswell as is in my desktop version of gmail. I also have custom made maps, or labels or whatever gmail namens it, but the problem is: when it downloads the emails, it only downloads like 200 a time, and from every map, (sent items, inbox, deleted items) it downloads everything randomly and puts it all in Inbox,,,I don't have the option anymore saying -> menu->maps-> my custom maps are not there anymore?!? and all the mail that comes in is in my inbox!??
And I first get all mail from like 2 years ago, I haven't had any recent mail in yet, everytime I refresh it.
How to resolve this, anyone?
I think I have back now.
I probably entered when setting up the account when at first openening the stock mail app, I choose "gmail" account....but you have to choose: "other(POP/IMAP)"
And then first thing at the top it says POP, change it to IMAP.
Make sure in your google mail account on your desktop you have IMAP enabled.
(Go on your desktop, to the webinterface of gmail, to the upperright there is a gearbox symbol which is settings: then go to 'forwarding (POP/IMAP). Here you can select IMAP enabled or not.)
Than finish setting up the account. (port number can be found on googles own help site)
Now when you open your stock mail app settings menu, go to sent & recieve, I want all my mail so I select: max limit, download all days, and maps to synchronize: now you can choose your 'labels'maps again and stuff.
I immidiately saw it was downloading like 1500 mail again, as so many I have in my inbox.
And go to menu->maps: I see all my custom made maps (or labels as google names it) again.
Works great again!
Cheers
If anyone else hates this entire concept of the tabbed GMail inbox, you can easily disable it.
First of all I cannot for the life of me figure out why in the heck I'd want to check 3 different email inboxes? I got 3 emails this morning. 1 from a friend. 1 showing updates to my LinkedIN account. And 1 confirming a purchase I made on Amazon. These 3 emails, all relevant and useful to me, showed up in 3 different inboxes. Why on Earth would I want that? If I got 300 emails a day, then maybe, but shouldn't it be something I can choose to turn on rather than something I have to figure out how to disable?
Personally I'm getting tired of spending so much time figuring out how to disable Google's stuff so my phone works properly.
Anyway rant over. If you hate this as much as I do (and my wife does, and my mother does, and my friends do....) here is how to make it go away on your PC and your phone so you don't have to search the internet looking for answers.
On your computer, click the little gear in the upper right corner of the GMail screen.
Choose Configure Inbox
Uncheck everything on the list except Primary.
Now your GMail screen on your computer will look like it always has.
On your phone or tablet
Go to Settings.
Then pick your email account.
Then click Inbox Catagories.
Uncheck everything but Primary.
Note: This is how disabling the tabs is SUPPOSED to work. But you might find that the settings don't stick when you change them. If so try the following...
Change the settings on your desktop computer (or use the phone's browser to see the desktop gmail site)
Clear data and cache on the GMail app.
Sync gmail app. See if that imports the changes you made on your account on the desktop site and makes them stick.
If it doesn't (it worked on my phone, not on my tablet. So its 50/50) then uninstall and reinstall the gmail apk using the play store. If you can't do that from Play for some reason, here is a link to a download.

I'm with you, the newer the version, the worst it is, it is bulky now, and sluggish.
Thanks for the info.
Smart Notice
I'm trying to figure out how to get it to show me Birthday reminders (I have a Google calendar dedicated to birthdays, titled "Birthdays" just to make it obvious to the phone.). The option is ticked under settings, but nothing from the phone.
What am I doing wrong?
In Google Calendar, go to Menu>Settings>Birthdays (you will see a tab marked "Birthdays" a couple of lines above settings, but that just toggles birthdays on/off). There you will be able to choose which accounts and behaviors you want to use.
However, that just shows a notification the day of that person's birthday. I have not found a setting to show you a reminder say a week in advance without setting up a specific event.

Right. And my Birthday's calendar is toggled in, and I created the birthdays in 3 formats:
1. My 'default' Gmail calendar - created an event titled "Fake's Birthday"
2. 'Birthdays' calendar - created an event called "Fake"
3. 'Birthdays' calendar - created an event called "Fake's Birthday".
All 3 are all-day events.
All 3 lead to the same result: The phone won't even read the name of the 'person', and just shows that it's a friend's birthday.

My girlfriend has a G4 as well, and hers will automatically notify her 6 days in advance that it's someone's birthday (with the correct name/ date/ time) and that you set time aside for celebrations. I tried her calendar settings too, and can't seem to figure it out.
We may have been looking at this from the wrong direction. If you go to Google Calendar settings on your computer, instead of your phone, there are more options available. One is to set a notification "X" number of days before an all-day event. I don't know if your girlfriend is doing it that way, but it would be a way to accomplish what you want.

I don't think it's that. I've created multiple events in different formats under different calendars, and the only one that seems to trigger the Smart Notice is if it's under the "xxx's birthday" format. Also, the event must be there 7 days prior (and Google Cal sync that far back) for SN to read it, irrespective of notifications under Google Calendar on the computer.
So anyway, I tried that - and here's what I got today.
Notice how SN reads that it's a birthday from a week before in Calendar, but still doesn't read the name properly again. (slightly different problem!)

So having a calendar dedicated to Birthdays is useless unless the format of the event is essentially "xxxx's birthday." Wonder if it works for Anniversaries as well.
