Stocks App and Currency Exchange Rates - Desire General

Hi All,
Added some exchange rates to my HTC stocks app today using GBPEUR=x etc
I've noticed they don't update on the widget though.
Where my stock shows increases (green today \o/) the currencies remain greyed out all the time as if there has been no price movement.
Any ideas how to fix this or is it a bug?
Thanks for any help
Justin

Email notifications not working [DESIRE]

I noticed this morning that my phone is notifying me when I receive an email via the stock email application on my HTC Desire.
I've got sound and LED for SMS/MMS/Gmail etc, but not email. It's downloading them without me prompting it, but just not telling me when I've got one. Desire is running 2.1, anyone know of a fix?
Thanks
Notifications are set to LED and Sound - still no sound or LED. I've even done a factory reset, nothing.
Now It's not even checking for mail on its own.

I'm confused. Does it notify you, or does it NOT notify you? Have you checked & re-checked the settings, both from Settings > Sound and Mail app > Settings?
App settings are set to 'email notifications on and sound notifications on' and led in sound settings is on too. It doesn't make a noise or flash the led when I receive a email.

Go to Mail (or Gmail) > Menu > Settings, then check all the settings (incl Select ringtone, as it might be set to Silent).
Gmail notifications are working, I'm talking about the 'mail' app. There is no ringtone setting in there + notifications are all set to on.
It was working fine the other day, no settings were changed and then it just stopped.

So I contacted HTC on Friday night regarding my 'problem' and I've received two emails from them saying:
"It could be a driver issue... hard reset the phone or send it back to us.."
and another one saying
"It could be a software issue... hard reset the phone or send it back to us.."
I'm not sending my phone anywhere, I don't think I could go the day without my phone. Surely someone knows of a fix which doesn't require me flashing my phone?
Strangely enough it's started notifying me when I get a email now. I changed no settings or anything. My phone clearly went on strike for the weekend.
I have the exact same issue.
I contacted HTC who said it could be a task killer ending the email application but i tried that and still my emails will not receive unless i manually send and recieve them.
it seems odd that every now and then it works perfectly then just stops without me doing anything.
Very annoying, if you find a cure please let me know
Mine's back to normal now. I did absolutely nothing either. No task killer installed.
Is there any more news on this? My emails have stopped and so has my gf using HTC Magic.
Any other news from HTC?

I contacted HTC and they said it could be a driver issue or a software issue, and if a factory reset didn't resolve it the device should be sent to them for repair.
I had a friend who had this problem at the same time as mine, and his randomly started working again at the same time as mine.
Im sure when I was messing around with my app that it is set to notify me monday to friday 9-5 and not to notify me after that or at the weekend, Can't confirm this as, well my phone is with HTC
Mine is set to send and recieve between 10am and 10pm 7 days.
I still have to manually recieve them and still cannot send any emails.
I am waiting for a response from HTC
My response from HTC
The only email account that gets automatically synced is your primary Google account. Hotmail relies on POP3 technology and as such is what is known as 'push email' i.e. you have to physically tap on the email app for it to check the server. Hope this makes it clearer.
Mine never worked, but I don't care as I use the gmail notifier widget.

[Q] time zone mismatch in calendar

so i'm hoping that someone might have an explanation beyond "facebook's app is borked"
I live in EST currently. There are no settings within facebook (that I can see, either in the app or on the site). Within Google Calendar, I have my timezone set for (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time.
The problem arises with the calendar application on Android. My Date/Time settings are set to use Network provided values (and they're accurate).
If I goto an event within the facebook app, a start time will properly show as 16:30, (as reciprocated on the website), however within the calendar application on my phone, it shows the start time incorrectly as 17:30 (1 hour ahead).
I originally thought this was a facebook only problem, until I found out that the facebook app is correct, just the android calendar is incorrect.
Just today, I tried adding an event to my calendar and discovered something else, when adding the event to my calendar, under the "Time Zone" option, it lists "(GMT-4:00) Eastern Time" which seemed odd, since Eastern Time is GMT-5, upon clicking the show all, it shows GMT-5:00 Central Time, GMT-5:00 Mexico City, & GMT-5:00 Bogota, which are also incorrect (and also appear to agree with the android calendar being +hour off.
Does anyone know how to fix it so that events are showing up in the right time? (time zone) ?
wow. it's called daylight savings time. click the button. issue resolved. not a bug.
I stand corrected. lol. It's a bug. hmmmmm, interesting. That means we get an update! yay! they will be required to give us an upgrade soon. EVERYONE START CALLING SPRINT AND HTC! LOL! TIME for them to send an update an unlock our phones at the same time!
Looks like you can fix this issue by manually setting your time and selecting the right timezone.*well, the right -number* The timezone for eastern IS COMPLETELY wrong! hahahhaha. But really. this needs to be sent to HTC and Sprint.
yea, there isn't any option to unset daylight savings time. and if the phone is trying to be smart, since manually setting the time zone EST reads as "GMT-04:00, Eastern Daylight Time", then it's incorrectly not reading the dates from the facebook calendar (synchronized via Accounts) correctly.
So some clarification. I experimented with wife's Nexus S and she didn't have the option of showing the facebook calendar. Apparently the option of showing the facebook calendar within the HTC calendar is done through the "Facebook for HTC", not the facebook app itself.
So given that it's a facebook for sense issue, any hope for a fix?

So does anyone else have an issue with Facebook for HTC sense or is it just me?

It's an HTC issue. if we report it enough. they'll fix it.

Contact photo blurry. Still not fixed in ICS

Hi guys just got my phone today. I was using the xperia x10 before so I'm aware that Android has issues displaying high resolution photos of my contact while creating contacts under gmail account. To my surprise HTC One X also has the same issue. Even when I create a contact under phone (not gmail account) it still has the problem. Is there a way to fix this?

[annoying] slow contacts list

Hi mates,
A couple of weeks ago my JB GN started to slow show my contact list, I don't have that much of contacts, im syncing LinkedIn, Google contacts and an exchange account (which only works when I'm on the job wireless network), and even then my contacts takes up to 5 seconds to display the info, is there any tweak I should do to improve this? -or any other procedure-, this is really annoying for me to deal with.
Thanks in advance.
I'd very much appreciate if there's something anyone can contribute to help me solve my problem.
I don't think I'm the only one suffering from this.
Thanks
