I've installed bepe's WWE WM6 ROM for a while now. I'm have a lot of troubles with the pre-installed live messenger. I can't change my name, can't change screen image, the program freezes when i try to log in, online users are shown as offline, my email doesn't arrive (with push email), in short: looks like a crappy program to me. But i don't hear much complaints in the forum here. Are some of you experiencing this problems also with B&B ROM?
Btw: i've tried all basic advices: turning shared screen-image in the desktop messenger, clearing the password, switching users...no results...
Hi,
Some people seem to suggest this comes from an incompatibility issue between the thumbnail (user image) format on Windows and Windows Mobile. I'm however not so sure about this. I've bumbed into this issue several times and the only way to work around is by switching 'accounts' and just logging in to the same account again after picking this option.
The problem happens on all WM6 ROMs I tried so don't even bother trying different versions, unless perhaps an official WWE ROM is released.
Grtzzzzz Roel..

i seem to have found a solution
I have a dutch version of Live Messenger installed on my computer, (because i come from holland ), so i can't give you the exact option names. But i'll try to explain:
In Live Messenger (on your desktop) there are two options:
- showing screen image to other users (your msn contacts)
- keeping screen image and personal message always the same, wherever you login
the last option seems to do the trick: put it OFF on your desktop Messenger. Now i can sync, change nickname, screen image, personal message and see all online users on my P3300!
EDIT:
CRAP! Yesterday no troubles, now i'm not able to see any online users this program is driving me mad! I ll wait for a newer version before wasting any time on it...good job microsoft
i have tried several versions of Messenger, none of which work properly. looked though other forums, none had an answer, that i could see. i have been using Shapesoft IM+, it works, but nowhere near as nice as Messenger used too.
I hope the new HTC ROM will bring the solution...
Like most people, several of my contacts have been linked to my Facebook Friends. Then if I use PIM backup or My Phone after a flash and restore my contacts, the Facebook "link" is there, but it doesn't update the picture (the picture reverts back to whatever it was before the facebook link) and it doesn't update the status' or birthday's. I have even removed all the link's, and started over, but that doesn't work. I've tried everything i can think of, but can't figure this out... has anyone else run into this and have a working fix?
Yea, seems like this is a problem all over. When I try to link a contact to a facebook profile the list of profiles I am given to select from bears no relation to my actual list of friends. Most of my friends are on there but not all, some have pics & some don't, I have old FB contacts who I have since deleted & even have 1 guy I have never heard of & has never been on my friends list.
There is a hotfix on the htc website but tried to install it & it comes up with "this hotfix is not compatible with your device"
I've been trawling to try & find a fix but there doesn't seem to be one & very little mention of the TP2.
Anyone else have some input??
Smells like a ROM issue. Did you try with the official or a different cooked one?

Hi Jackos,
still on the original winmo 6.1 as I've got loads of software & really don't fancy having to reload everything.
Looking around it seems I'm not the only one with this kind of issue.
It gets worse.
This morning I tried again, logged out of facebook via my contact card & then went to log back in. I now get "connection failed" each time I try to connect.
FB is working fine on the app & via opera etc & I've got no probs with email etc so it's not data connection or signal.
This is def confined to HTC integration of FB bugt I can't use the hotfix they have posted because it claims it is not suitable for my device!!
Any help would be much appreciated.
Spotted several threads with the same issue but not quite what I'm experiencing. I have my contacts synced with their facebook account and its fine, but these never get updated! I go to sync now, says its fine but the photos just never get updated and neither do their 'status' that appears in the people app. Similarly, if I add a new friend on facebook and store their number... I can't link it because the contact is not found on facebook - obviously it is just not updating anything.
Any ideas?
I wouldn't like to remove my account and re-add it... whilst it works as I've done it once already, I have to manually go through my contacts afterwards and re-link them again! And still... following that syncing still won't work! I find it stupid having to do this simply to get it to update
This has been reported a number of times as a bug, hopefully HTC address it in their FroYo build
have you tried updating your software to the latest release from HTC - seems to be updating fine on mine now (although I was experiencing the same as you before).

I'm on 1.21.405.2... updated about 2 weeks ago OTA. I would have thought they would fix it with the update... apparently not! At least in my case.

Thanks, good find!
I'll give it a go
Just go into people,online directories,facebook. Press menu and update from there. Works for me.
Hi guys, I'm having DHD for some weeks now, and so far everything is good (except the battery, but with this display it's understandable).
Two days ago the News app stopped syncing. When I click on sync, the icon flashes but no actual sync is made (I can see from the desktop google reader feeds). So I removed app data (from settings -> applications -> manage applications -> running).
Now the News app does not want to start at all. It flashes the screen and then it closes by itself. What can I do to restore the app and make it working again? (I mean without hard reset). I is not in the list of installed apps, can I find it from somewhere and reinstall it?

Had exactly the same problem. I gave up on it and switched to RSSDemon - very good app....
See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=834323 fixed by doing factory reset.
I had the same problem...did a hrad re-set last week...getting the same problem this week again! it says updating but doesn't update..I don't want to do a hard reset again..I think HTC should do something about this...i thought moving from a Nokia to HTC I would forget about hard reset...but not so!
So it turns out that this News app is quite buggy It's good that there are some nice alternatives in the Market.

Yeah -- the HTC news app and widget is horribly broken even with the Desire Z -- I tried clearing the user data and now it won't even prompt to add new feeds -- it just sits there with a blank window.
I disabled the sync for it, and now I'm using another news reader.
I also got this today.
Bahh, I'm not going to hard-reset....
Hmm, I now remeber, I downloaded, I think from xda, a zip with all the apk apps from the original rom... going to see if I can find it and install it...
Let us know if the news app is there.

You know what? I don't know how, but I can get again enter on the News app
I've search the news apk from the zip that I have, but I can't find it. At least there's no apk with the name "news" on it.
Could it be "EReader" ??
No idea what happened but mine started working as well…

I wasn't able to get my feeds updated, and I couldn't even manage the feeds in the app, getting messages as "unable to unsubscribe" and "unable to change folder". Clearing the cache didn't work, so I cleared the data and ended up with exactly the same issue on my Desire Z as you describe.
I used OSMonitor to check the logs for the app and only then did it dawn on me that it syncs with Google Reader. Apparently, the current blank screen issue is caused by incorrect communication between Google Reader and the HTC News app:

Interestingly, disabling sync for News didn't help the situation and I'm wondering whether and how the HTC News app works without using a Google account.
Anyway, I logged into Google reader on my PC, marked everything up to a day ago as read. This again, did not change anything.
Just for the heck of it, I installed the Google Reader app (News sync still disabled), and gave it access to my account. Lo and behold, when I added the HTC News widget to my home screen, it showed me the proper list of subscriptions (from Google Reader) and it works as it should. Moreover, the HTC News app works again and shows me the right content!
In addition to the above, the widget indeed shows new items as the Google Reader sync is done (HTC News sync is still _disabled_). Now it's just a matter of waiting to see whether the widget not updating issues reoccur, but I'm guessing no
I really love htc news ,I think its got the best eye candy and function compared to all the market alternatives. But it has crashed twice and has fixed with 2nd hard reset. Does anyone know any way htc news can be reinstalled without having to hard reset!

Great discovery. Good thinking. Solved my problem. Do you know which one I sync, Google Reader or sync HTC News, to get the widget to refresh itself?
As an FYI this was fixed with the recent OTA update, or at least it was for me after the update.
I have also had this problem for a while now. Just oday I figured that HTC News wasnt conecting to Google Reader acount so I instaled NewsRob and linked it to my Google Reader account. Now HTC News seems to have reconnected to my Google Reader acount and is successfully updating. Gonna uninstall NewsRob as I like te HTC News app.
Alsp havent bothered updating to the latest OTA as I wanna keep my Eng Boot and full Root.

I'm actually syncing both at the moment, without any noticed adverse effects. TBH, I think they both sync the same data, so either could work (not sure, though).

When reader and news are enabled at the same time, reader will overwrite modifications from news next time it syncs. At least I get a message notification about this when starting news app.
For me I disabled reader sync and just use the news widget & app.

@dinfinity tyvm that fixed my dhd's prob
I just got prompted on my Desire Z this morning that there were two plug-ins and one widget available. LinkedIn and Picasa were the plug-ins and I can't remember what the widget was. Anyway, i tried to download the Picasa plug-in and it started and finished but that was all it did. Didn't install, doesn't show up in the gallery (even after a reboot) and i can't figure out how to get back to the plug-in section in the HTC hub to try again....any ideas? or did HTC pull the update only to bring it back at a later date?
Any thoughts would be good.
I had the same issue but downloaded linkedin. It is not in my app drawer, cannot open it but it is in my manage apps. There is a thread in the HTC Desire HD section on this with a number of people reporting similar problems.
Those aren't apps, they're just account providers.
To use them go to Accounts & Sync and then add new accounts for them.
You'll see them in the photo gallery and in 'people' after you've added the accounts. They're similar to facebook and flickr which come preinstalled.
Thanks rewen, i hadn't thought of that. I went to check it out though and I don't have the account to flag on but the others are there as you said so i think i'm in the right place but just that it didn't install.
So back to where i started, not being able to get back to the plug-in section to re-download.

No matter how many times I try and install the Picasa plugin it does nothing. Also not in the accounts.
I am in the same boat.. I flashed a different rom and want to install those. Not sure where to find those in the htc hub. Just waiting for it to let me know that there are new plugins i guess. I wonder if you can find them on htcsense.com

Did you check the bottom pane in the gallery?
yep, not there. Even did a factory reset like some have suggested.
When I click on install it says "Your item will be downloaded". I don't actually see it download though.... Do you need to be on wifi or something...?
I'm not sure. It will be in the notification bar if it fails though. I've had them fail on me.
Regarding my own mini issue, I just got one of the two to download now.. I wasn't signed into htc hub apparently. Once I signed in it let me know of new plugins, however, when I downloaded linkedin it took me away from the page to get picasa as well. Ugh. Bad design...
I wasn't signed in either but I know I was at one time... I tried to install Picasa first based on you not getting back. It showed in the notification as downloading but now it's nowhere to be found... Not in the gallery, not in accounts... idunno, it's broken.
I don't recall seeing a download status. Just a success or failure. So I guess that means you should at least see a message of success... :-/
Hey guys, FWIW I got my 5th HTC Hub update notification for the Picasa plugin today. It installed it for the 5th time and actually worked this time. Have no idea what is different but it just worked.
I had never gotten any notification regarding the Picasa plugin.
After reading this thread I went to the HTC Hub app, went to settings -> sync, and my sync option wasn't checked for HTC Hub. After enabling it, I got a bunch of new widgets/plugins notifications. I downloaded the Picasa plugin and it showed up in Gallery right away.
Awesome!
