Hmmm, I can't open any links to this forum in E-mail topic reply notifications because the Gmail app thinks they're quoted text and doesn't show the whole link... pretty crappy if you ask me

my god you are right, i hadnt really noticed that before, its going to really bug me now.
on the plus side i just found out that you can copy paste in the new gmail client. with one hand they give and with the other they take away.

Sorry about that.
And they didn't take anything away - the links not working has been present since I've been using Android (since 2.0)
As for the homepage... you might try iGoogle. Customizable and works well in the Webkit browser

yup igoogle is not a bad idea at all.

You could use Windows Live! Mobile. Please read the Wiki and search the forums next time before asking such a repetitive question .
You can get it from here (it's in the .zip file)
Ive just installed it on my phone, it really is the dogs danglies, far better than that £10.99 pocket msn rubbish Microsoft sell.
I used mobile live to get hotmail BUT this causes the wake up problem for me even after I remove it. I now use a fresh rom with GETMAIL program. I use the getmail freeware on my home desktop and forward all hotmail recieved to a pop3 capable account which I can use the built in outlook to check. Until a new version of live comes out I do not recommend it.

thank you very much!
although not searching for wmxl, I did search for hotmail with just abig misunderstanding on my part with the results. I guess sometimes mobile versions don't quite look the same as when rendered on the desktop. Once again thak you very much.

It'd be real cool if it did photo uploads. T-Mobile isn't supported by Facebook.
A Panel for this would be cool too
Ehh why are all these sites always asking for your phone number. That's like a social security card # in my book. It angers me. I guess I'm willing to a regular process of signing in. It's not like we don't get a notification from email that we have a new facebook messege.
Plus wouldn't it just be another startup main-memory addition.
I'm not ripping it...good find
Not a necessity

Push mail software instead of K9?

Im having lots of problems with K9 and my IMAP mail accounts. From time to time it shows as there is new mail, but it doesn't ring for it and when entering the account won't download it. I have to go to the stock HTC app to read the mail.
Can you please recommend me any other push mail app that I could try?
I'm trying out 'Improved Email' and so far I think it is pretty awesome.
I actually wrote a guide on this recently. It does not exactly solve your problem, but consider this the best workaround available.

i like improved mail but im annoyed at the fact that you cant change colour code of your email accounts

touch.facebook.com

Anyone else notice if you click on a link that takes you to facebook, it opens IE and directs to touch.facebook.com, which at least on my hd7, doesn't work right.
I have to switch it to m.facebook.com
This shows up mainly when I respond to facebook friend requests that show up in my email.
Apparently, according to a dev I read who worked on Mobile Safari and android browsers, web apps developed for those two such as touch.facebook.com won't work in Mobile IE for now. I'm not sure why though, sorry man

that's ok. Just wished that if I click a facebook link, IE wouldn't redirect to touch.facebook.com if it doesn't work.

Same thing happens on Android (the redirection). If it's from an eMail (in the Email app or on the email site), then it's going to punt you to the website.
If you see a friend request in you email, it's not hard to open the Facebook app and accept it. Do you not get notifications for these?
HTML5 is coming to WP7's IE in an update next year.

I can just change the url once IE opens as well. I just wasn't sure if this was a wp7 issue, IE issue, phone issue.
Thanks for the clarification.
So are these "web apps" like facebook and gmail built with HTML5? Newb question, but i dont know much about that kinda stuff
I really hope Microsoft makes some improvements to IE with the January/February update.

[Q] Getting rid of facebook icon on contact pictures

When using HTCSENSE for facebook, and linking contacts my contacts have their facebook picture with a little facebook icon in the corner. This annoys me almost as much as the poor quality of photos. I looked around but can't find anything about this. I browsed some of the directories trying to find the facebook image file so I could replace it but no luck. Anyone whos explored the deep abyss they call Sense care to help?

This is helpful.. but not what I meant.
That option is turned off for me already. What I am talking about is when you link a contact to their facebook profile. ( so that their picture gets changed etc) it shows the tiny blue facebook icon which is an annoyance. There must be a way we can find that image in the filesystem and replace it with a transparent image to get rid of it... I just can't locate it.

Ahh... I see what you mean. Don't know if that's possible to be removed as it's tied to facebook, but then again, anything is possible in these forums.

I know, I just stumbled upon these and some of the stuff here is nuts. Loving it though and I am keeping hope that someone will know the trick!
If you go in to people, click the person you want to change picture. Click the Link on the top right. Then you can click on the contact photo, and you have the option to change the photo. Hope this helps.

Get over it. It's tiny.
As far as the quality of the images, even if you upload your own, it'll be bad. That's just how it is.

Thanks, but I know this. The whole point is I want the pictures to sync with facebook but without that little F icon.
Lol @ get over it. What is the point in trying to flame me? I want my phone to be aesthetically pleasing as possible.. thats why I got rid of my bb.
Well syncing it with the actual facebook app doesnt leave the little corner mark, but syncing it without the HTC Sense facebook really sucks, looks like your in a dilemma. If you dont care about the extras you get from HTC Sense facebook you can try the normal one.

I didn't know I could sync with regular facebook. When I removed HTC sense for facebook before it took away any sync capability. Could you explain how you have this set up? I would prefer using the normal facebook app and not the sense one.

Tried this before and broke my stock ROM before I flashed myns. When I uninstalled HTCSense Facebook it stopped syncing contacts and despite having facebook reinstalled I still could not get those two. Are you sure this works? everything I have read is that I would need a third party app like syncmypix, which is why I asked if we can just dump that little facebook icon.

Can you explain how you got this working?
I installed Market Facebook. turned off HTC facebook. When I click the facebook icon in accounts nothing happens.
This happened before on my last rom.
Without HTC sense and just doing it through the facebook app. Your contact names will have to match their facebook extactly
Also the facebook does not update as frequently through
So I cant get the regular android to sync. I click it on the sync menu and nothing pops up. The first time it brought me to the login screen but hasnt done it since even if I remove. googling this and it seems to be a common issue unresolved... so it brings me back to my original question of finding this facebook image in the filesystem and changing it to a transparent png. Any dev whos taken apart sense have any ideas?
I actually would like to see if this is possible as well. Those icons have been annoying me ever since I got my Evo! (release!)
anyone feel like helping? been trying to dig this for a week and can't find any fix.
