HTC Desire - Ginger Villian 1.9 - Sound and Sync issues - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

G'day,
This is my first post to this great forum that I have used in the past to research etc. Im a bit nervous, but hope that somebody can help me
I've had my Desire for a while now. Ive rooted it successfully using Revoked. Installed and have been running Leedroid up to 2.3d and have now flashed to Gingervillain 1.9.
Before I updated to GV, my calendar was not syncing completely from G.Cal to my desire. Is there a limit of items that can be synced? I have items thatr go back 1-2 years. They are all still in Google Calendar (g.cal).
When I enter items into google calendar, my phone doesnt sync right away like it used to. Usuaully under 30 seconds.
Also, I really liked the HTC Desire's Calendar, is there anyway of restoring this in Gingerbread?
My sound keeps dying after a few minutes/hours/days and Im not sure why. Has anybody else had this and know how to resolve it?
Many thanks in advance.
Carsten

Oh yeah... when I go to settings and accounts and sync, I manually sync the calendar, the circle icon spins, then pauses for a moment, spins some more, and then just stops. It does not dissapear like the icons on the contacts and gmail sync. Does this mean the calendar sync is having issues?

Have changed to Leedroid 3.0 and no more issues.
Issue with the calendar were resolved by:
Turning Auto and background Sync off.
Changing the date to 2009.
Turning sync back on.. waiting for it to completely sync, then turning date back to auto.
Cheers

Just out of curiosity, when you moved from Leedroid to GV did you restore apps from Titanium? If so which option did you use?

[Q] HTC Sync calendar not working from phone to Outlook?

Hello all. I've just set up my new Desire (2.2) with HTC Sync 3.0.5422. I'm synching calendars and contact with Outlook 2007. The contacts are working well both ways, but the calendar only syncs one way, from PC to phone. If I create or modify items on the phone, they do not show up in Outlook.
Anyone got any idea why this would happen? HTC Sync doesn't give any error messages, and all other sync activities seem to be working OK.
Thanks for any help!
you sure you are adding them to the right calendar on the phone? the default is a google calendar, you need to select pc sync from the drop down box (at the top of the page of create calendar item)
Thanks for the reply. Yes, I am creating them in the "PC Sync" calendar. They have the green bar next to them like the items that have come from Outlook.
no idea then sorry, but to save you some time mine did that as well. I tried reinstalling HTC Sync a couple of times and a factory reset of the phone and it still didn't work (had no issues with the previous version) so I use gsyncit now instead.
OK, thanks for trying. I don't really want to be forced to do a sync with google calendar at the moment though. Anyone got any other ideas why this might be? Perhaps a security setting in Outlook or something?
I remember you have an option to sync calendar:
- from PC to phone
- from phone to PC
- using "last updated" feature - this one suits me best.
Look at sync options in calendar view in HTC SYnc.
Thanks for that, but I don't seem to be able to find the option you're referring to. Are you talking about HTC Sync on the PC (version 3.0.5422)? Where are the "Options"?

Oh right. Yes, I've tried all three settings on that, but I think that's only to do with items that have been updated on both devices prior to sync, so it know which one takes priority. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Has anyone out there managed to get 2 way calendar sync with Outlook 2007 and Desire 2.2 using HTC Sync 3? I've now seen many posts on other forums about this exact same problem, but they don't seem to be getting resolved!
Just another quick advise.
A story first: I have had a lot of redundand meetings in my Desire callendar. So I decided to make a cleanup of callendar entries by simply clearing the calendar cache. Succesed, but..
Seems like no longer meetings what were in my exchange (2003) up to cache deletion were able to re-sync. I discovered that new entries - just added after the cleanup have been imported successfully. Seemed like to only good solution was to format the phone to re-start the calendar service blank. But, I have installed the Google Sync tool and synced Outlook with Google calendar (I know, privacy etc...). It worked. I uninstalled the Sync tool and now I have all my "old" meetings in Google calendar, and new meetings being directly sync through HTC Sync.
Maybe you try to sync through Google?
Or just try to install the previous version of HTC Sync (2.x)

Well, I logged this problem with HTC tech support, and after going through the usual checks, they've admitted that there is a problem with HTC Sync:
"This is a problem with HTC Sync 3.0 and is under investigation and a new version will be out soon.
Please keep checking our website for when the update comes out."
A shame really, as it seems to do everything else just fine for me. Hopefully they will fix it soon. Thanks everyone for their suggestions.
I had so many problems with HTC Sync, I did away with it and use a combination of Google Calendar Sync and MyPhoneExplorer for contacts. so far everything it syncing nicely.
I'va just tried the latest version.
The first time it did work.. but the second time I got an error and I had to restart htc sync. Since that error htc sync stopped to sync events from phone to PC.
Seems to be fixed with new version of HTC Sync
Yesterday an update was available to HTC Sync, bringing it up to version 3.0.5481. This seems to have fixed the problem I was having, meaning that calendar entries I create/edit on my phone are now synced back to my PC Outlook Calendar.
This doesn't seem to be mentioned in the release notes, but it now seems to be working for me, so I'd recommend upgrading if anyone else is having this problem!

Still not there
I am on 3.0.5481 but still exact same problem: existing calendar entries are not synched. Only the new created ones get synched.
In HTC Sync 2 there was a "repair" option to force a complete synch from PC to Phone (or viceversa), but I have not found Repair in the new V3.
If anyone gets any news please update the thread. I guess there are lots of people who would like to be able to synch all their existing meetings.
Can someone with the latest version confirm that the following issues are fixed?
Corruption of email addresses that stops outgoing mail from Outlook being sent
Corruption of phone numbers stopping phone from sending texts
Cannot use HTC Sync on more than one PC - eg work and home
Have you looked at 3.0.5481?

Had an email from HTC to say that the app will now work on more than one PC!
Still worrried about the other two and as MPE is working well at the moment am not tempted to try it.
Working again.

I was having the exact problem mentioned: Outlook calendar stopped syncing properly using HTC Sync even though contacts were syncing just fine. After reading this I tied adding new entries to my Outlook calendar and sure enough they were added to my phone. Went through and remade all of my future appointments and now my calendar seems to be in order again.
Does anyone know what the hell caused this?
(Also, my signature needs updating!)
If you give up on HTC Sync you might want to look at MyPhoneExplorer as an alternative. I find it a lot less destructive.

[Q] Always shows sync notification

My HD always shows the sync symbol in the notification bar.
Ive searched in Accounts and Sync and it seems that its the HTC sense thats always syncing but, ive set it to only sync every 3hrs therefore I dont know why it continually syncs. It could also potentially be the cause of any lag.
I could turn htc sense sync off but that would defeat the purpose of having a smart phone.
Any help appreciated

No luck there either. When I push the cancel sync button in Settings/Accounts and sync, the "sync HTC Sense" account continually tries to sync again.
Its becoming a massive drain on my battery.
Can u go to settings, running services and stop HTC sense and sync there. Also in manage applications go to accounts sync and clear data, if still syncing force close it.
Sent using my brain, converted by my DHD

Edit, didn't work.
Had this problem too. My Facebook for HTC Sense was f'ed. Removed the account and added it again, havn't had any problems since.
Mine was doing it for HTC sync. Turns out since HTCsense.com is not fully operational, it was constantly trying to establish a connection. For now I just unchecked that one for syncing until HTC has their site up and running normally.

This def worked. Removed HTC sense account and then added it again, boom no more constant sync icon in the task bar. Cheers for all the help.

its htc sence sync causing it, mine was the same till i disabled it, there is no need to have the sence sync on anyway, just set it to sync when you open htc hub
cheers for the reply but even after turning off HTC sense sync and turning off background sync it is still doing it :s i dont know what the hell is causing it

Contacts joining issue, CM7

hi
I installed cyanogenmod7 a few days ago. With the default sense on my htc desire, i loved how you could link contacts to their facebook and see their picture in the phonebook. I discovered a way to do this in cm7 too. edit contact -> menu -> join.
So, I went through all my contacts, joined them, then rebooted later that day and noticed they were all gone. I then re-joined them all to their facebook profile again and it was ok.
then i think i rebooted just to test it and, as far as i can remember, they were still joined.
so now i rebooted again for another reason (battery calibration) and now they're un-joined again!! Its almost like this stuff isnt saved after a reboot!!
One more thing, every time they stop synching, I go into facebook app, click settings and go to sync, and it tells me "do not sync" is selected. I always specifically select to sync my contacts but this setting keeps changing.
Can anyone tell me why the facebook app stops syncing with my phonebook?
thanks.
htc desire pvt4 s-on
cm7
Because Facebook it ****!
I fixed it anyway, by moving the Facebook app off the SD card, back onto the phone.
@eoinzy
it was really a good tutorial kind off thing for me./. i was searching for joining contacts n my new cm7.2 apocalypse rom

SR 4.0 Multiple Gmail Sync Issue

I just flashed SkyRaider 4.0 recently and now only my main gmail account syncs automatically. I have to manually sync my other accounts for them to update.
I'd tried to clear cache and data and have gotten the same results.
Anyone else with this issue?
Stupid question: You checking in Accounts and Sync for those accounts to make sure they are set to sync email?
yep - def have it checked off - i just re-flashed sr4 again without loading any new apps and it still will only sync the main account and not another
well it's fixed - with a lot of tinkering and re-flashing i don't know what it was
Actually, I had that problem when I had SR4 installed. I'd get the messages when I would manually refresh, but push didn't work. I'd get messages about once per day, if I didn't refresh manually. Needless to say, that wasn't something I was prepared to live with. At the time, I didn't have much time to tinker with it, and CM had just released 7.0.3, so...
Anyway, I thought maybe it had to do with the fact that I installed with ROM Manager, but who knows?
