Hello everyone I am new here. Just bought my desired Desire yesterday.
I think there is something wrong with the HTC calendar widget. I have 3 all day events: on the 16th, 17th and 18th and the smallest widget on the homescreen shows the one from the 17th not the 16th... what am I doing wrong?
Thank you,
BTW can you not love this phone?
Can someone try it on their device and tell me if it screws up the order too?

Did you ever fix this problem? I'm having a similar issue in that I have an event on the 24th, and one from the 25th to the 11th, and for a while it was showing the one on the 24th, but now it shows the one starting on the 25th. Apparently there's other calendar widgets on the market so I might try one of those instead.

I have this very seldomly. Workaround for me: Uncheck the appointment as "all day appointment". Save. Enter Calendar again and mark it as "all day". Like i said it only happened a few times but this one helped.

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked and actually neither of my events were 'all day' anyway. The later one spans multiple days but has a defined start and end time. I tried making it 'all day' and changing it back but it didn't have an effect. Hopefully after these events pass it'll sort itself out. And in any case I might try the Pure Calendar widget (though since it isn't free I'll need to work out how to pay for stuff on market, it'll probably be obvious - they don't tend to make it difficult for you to part with your cash ).
Hi,
I can confirm this annoying behavior, and that the suggested solution works in most cases. I had to delete and re-create the event a few times to get it to work though.
Maybe this should be reported to the HTC Sense team as a bug report? Does anyone know the procedure to do this?
Best wishes,
Tobias
Try Gemini calendar and its own widget. It is free on the market.

Hi,
does anyone know if this is fixed in Froyo, or could anyone check it out?
Unfortunately, the issue also seems to happen on events that are not spanning multiple days at all and that is really annoying, so that the widget becomes kind of unusable.
Thanks!

Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone has got to the bottom of why the HTC Mail App Version 2.00.0037.218634 (as installed via the Android 2.2 OTA update) does not work with Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync.
From what I understand the issue is not with hotmail accounts being activated, as people who have installed the stock Android 2.2 Mail.apk on their devices have been able to setup the account and get a combined email inbox.
From another forum here is the stock Android 2.2 Mail.apk
http://www.4shared.com/file/hP_PfaD8/Email.html
Same here, i thought that it was my hotmail account at first but then i read on Paul Thurrott's blog that ActiveSync was being enabled for everyone on the 30th August. I just downloaded the Android 2.2 stock mail client and it the sync works perfectly - think i prefer this over HTC's so may stick with it... Thanks for the link.
+1 thanks for the Link!
Just a word of warning, I don’t think this application can be uninstalled once installed (please correct me if I am wrong).
Also, you will no longer receive a counter of the number of emails received as there is no homepage widget with this app.
Finally, from what I have heard, Google search does not search emails contained within the Android Mail App.
Ideally I would like to see HTC patch their Mail App. I think the missing functionality is the ability to accept certificates and it is this that is preventing the HTC Mail App from syncing with Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync.
Please correct me if I am wrong on any of these points.
Is the file you linked to valid for all stock 2.2 phones or is it somehow specific to the HTC Desire?
Uninstalls fine on my stock 2.2

It should work on all android phones, it might even work on 2.1 as long as you don't sync the calendar and contacts.

Is this definitely the stock Android 2.2 app?
Because it's identical to "Improved Mail" on the Android Market Place but oddly is labelled as version 2.2 but Improved Mail is v1.75. I'd be surprised if Google would allow an e-mail app on the Nexus One that doesn't support HTML e-mail.
The one on the market place has a couple more option so I'm assuming it's newer (still no HTML or Move mail into new folder support though). It's also more stable. I found the one in the link above made my HTC Desire go very slow and unstable (unless I killed on of it's mail services).
Touchdown is the best alternative I've found. It's pretty powerful but the interface is a bit ropey. It's also 20 bucks!

I second that. It's not listed as a Universal Search option.

I've e-mailed HTC Support. I suggest others do the same. They need to send out an OTA fix.
About the only good things about Improved Mail are:
* Hotmail Exchange ActiveSync
* Combined Inbox
Otherwise it's pretty basic.
I've heard back from HTC Support:
"We are sorry you have had to work around, to get something to work, as the software was not compatible.
We are aware of this and I will for record send this information to the appropriate team. We are always working on fixes for our future updates.
but as of now i have not got that information."
I'd like to see this fixed too as downloading a separate basic app at about 3mb or even higher, just means I am wasting space on something that should be there anyway... with things like the flashplayer updates taking up 12mb of my internal storage - I'm only left with 14mb!
Anyhow, I thought I'd email HTC too to see if we can push them along a bit if they see a bit of interest in getting the e-mail application fixed...
Will see if they have the same response.
Have it running on Improved Email for now.
Thanks. I'm sure they could send out an OTA update. Hotmail is only one of the biggest e-mail providers worldwide and HTC said they know about the problem.
The developer of Improved E-Mail has said he'll look into why HTML e-mail support isn't working because he reckons it should. I've only got 20-22Mb free and you can only move so much to SD card.
Thank you for contacting us . In regards to your handset I can help you with that. I am sorry that you have been experiencing problem with your handset
I confirm that it is not supported at the moment on the handset thank you for bringing the issue to out attention

Not any indication of a fix
It's not just the HTC Desire. HTC Incredible and Evo users in the States have reported it too. Given how big Hotmail is and I bet it affects all HTC Android phones (at least since the Hero), I hope HTC are working on it as a matter of urgency.
Hi Guys, new to XDA but thought I'd join as I have a shiny new HTC Desire HD.
Unfortuanately the Desire HD still has Hotmail Activesync issues (i.e. it won't work - comes up with the "please try later" error message). I am using Improved Email until there is (ever?) a fix - but I'm finding it slowing down the entire phone. After a couple of hours of improved email running the phone animations become really choppy. As soon as I force close improved email, everything returns to normal. Very odd.
I have emailed HTC about their Mail app incompatibility with Hotmail, and received the generec response below:
Thank you for contacting us .
We don't have this information available at this time but would recommend that you check back on our website regularly for any further developments.

Come on HTC! The Mail app is really letting down an otherwise incredible device.
A Quick update, I emailed HTC back saying that the response provided was not good enough, told them that they needed to fix the issue pronto, and that I am considering getting a refund due to this... Seems drastic but might as well use the fear tactic.
They instantly replied with this:
We are aware of this issue you reported on your e-mail , We thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will pass this information along to our software developers.

Let's hope they actually are working on fixing the issue. I still can't get around why they would remove the original android mail app that does work, and replace it with their own crippled app.
I tried installing the original android mail app posted earlier on in the thread but it says "problem parsing". Anyone have an idea as to why this issue has occured?
Tim
Thanks TimHawker. How can HTC release the Desire HD, knowing it has this bug?
This isn't some 2 bit e-mail service no one has ever heard of. Hotmail is in the top 3 (maybe number 1) of webmail services world-wide.
I've not found my Desire slows down with Improved E-Mail but it's funny you should say that because I did when I tried the Native Google Nexus One Mail App (which I'm confident is an older version of Improved E-Mail, it's identical). Exactly the same symptons. I too had to kill it, to get animations flowing properly.
I've not found that with Improved E-Mail though but didn't try it for as long (so it's certainly possible I would have the same problem). I'm having to use HTC Mail and POP3 because every mail app I've tried doesn't work with HTML e-mail when using Hotmail's Exchange ActiveSync (Hotmail with POP3 is fine). See here:

I wouldn't bother. It worked fine for me but it's identical to Improved E-Mail in every way (likely an older version). Google must've licensed it from the owner of Improved E-Mail, surely?
Thanks for the reply bradavon.

You're 100% correct there, Hotmail is the number 1 worldwide webmail service with over 350 million users. HTC should be questioned as to why they have decided to provide an incompatible app with the most popular webmail service out there. I just can't quite fathom it.

Thanks for the info. Perhaps it's the opposite - it's the Google Android defacto mail client, but improved by the author, mwebster
I think I'll send HTC another email informing them just how big Hotmail is - perhaps they have their heads in the sand and think it's used by a few plebs with no smartphone interest.
Anyone else with this problem please bombard HTC's inbox! They may then listen and provide an OTA update.

Microsoft only finally finished rolling out Hotmail's Exchange ActiveSync on the 30th of August. So that's something at least. Microsoft don't also support Android devices yet too but say Android 2.2 should work (2.1 doesn't due to a bug with it), other versions unknown but I'm guessing unlikely.
But when all other apps I've tried work with it (except for HTML support), it cannot be that difficult to fix and especially on the new Desire HD/Desire Z. Which shipped after the problem was known.

Ah ok, thanks for the info - wasn't aware it was such a short time ago. Still, considering the Desire HD has just been released the problem should have been fixed.

On my Desire Z i have a HTC Widget called "HTC News" which i use a lot to get my news.
However the 17th of December at 1:48PM this widget/app decided to stop working.
I havent received any news since this time. If i tap update in the htc news app it just dosnt get anything, like there haven't been any news since that day. The Apps settings is set to update everytime the app open up and every 30 minuttes. If i do a sync it dosnt get anything either.
If i however add some new RSS it is working inside the app but not on the widget. The widget just loads forever..
I know the RSS links are correct as they work on my Google Reader which they've been importet from. They have also worked for about two weeks before this startet happening.
Anybody else experiencing something like it? Or even better - knows a solution to it?

Delete / re-add widget?
Allready tried that
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yeah -- I think its just not that well-written of an app/widget.
I tried reinstalling, and likewise it still refused to update. then I tried clearing out the user data -- now when I add the widget it just goes to the Subscription window and sits on Loading.... forever.
Removed and now I'm using the android "news and weather" widget.
Alright so I live off my calendar and I am completely ****ing astonished that my evo cannot handle the simple htc calendar. I dont know if anyone else experiences this but my calendar lags horribly. between sliding from day to day or adding a new event its so frustrating to use it i'm worried one of these days im going to throw my phone against the wall anyone else experiencing what i am?

I have no problems with my Calender, maybe you're doing it wrong.
How many events so you have on your calender? How many programs are syncing to the HTC Calender? Gmail, Exchange, Facebook?
Hi all,
It's Friday so today 'should' be the day that Facebook Home gets released.
No sign of it yet on the UK app store, nor any .apk's floating about.
Once it's out it'd be fun to try it on the One
Once we do have it lets all share or thoughts and experiences of using it.

If it's rolling out on EST time then at a guess it won't hit the play store till after 6pm tonight GMT time.

No.
Facebook home will essentially be running on top of Sense (much like any launcher). HTC will have to roll out the update to Sense software to put the option to assign menu button to a long press of the back button - in order for the menu to finally come off our screens.
I just wish they'd do it sooner.
I also suspect the HTC One will not be getting Home today as part of the 12'th April Facebook Home launch. And will be delayed until HTC push out the next update that fixes menu.
"Facebook Home for Android will be available for download from the Google Play Store on certain devices, including the HTC One X, HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S III and Samsung Galaxy Note II."

If facebook implemented the soft menu button then this would also work but as they do not seem to follow google's guidelines this is just a pipe dream but if twitter can remove the menu bar then surely facebook can too.
In this amazing world of Android, is there not an app that can decipher an email and add the appt to calendar? For example, I get a lot of emails advising me of the practice schedule for the coming week or two, the email has days and times and locations. Is it too much to ask to have those times automatically added to my calendar? I mean Google now goes far enoughthat it will track parcels or flights, is this not the next logical step? Is tedious to manually add them from each email. I would expect some kind of visual confirmation where you could edit any minor details of course. Any dev who could come up with this would clean up! Unless there's something like this on the market that I've overlooked?

Just a quick update, after checking, it appears that the problem is only with Gmail? If I forward these Gmail messages to Hotmail or others, the time in the body of the email is highlighted, allowing me to tap it to create a date on Samsung calendar. I have to fill in the details but that's what I'm talking about!
I guess I could create calendar date verbally with Google now. Anyone have a better way? Gmail is my main email.

Argh! I guess you mods can delete this thread. Apparently, if I open Gmail using the stock email app I can achieve what I wanted. Thanks me!

found your thread by searching the same content. I found this helpful because i have the same problem like yours, i.e. too many emails with appointment and schedule which i hardly manually enter into my calendar. switching apps also takes too many steps to complete. Ive never use Stock Email that came with the device (i am on Samsung galaxy note 3 now). Let me try see if it works. However, I found stock email app is a bit slow receiving emails, that's why ive never used it Did you find any other app that does the job? i also looking for an app which can remind me to reply emails later, because some emails come, i skim through it and will reply later when i have time. But sometimes i forget to reply, and very hard to find the mail again you have any solution for this?
cheers
