Found it. T-Mobile has a free service that automatically backs up all contacts to a website - where they can be recovered if phone is lost or stolen.
Edit: Tried to activate it on T-mobile website... but HTC Desire is not on the list available for this service. Will it be activated in future... will ask next time I call customer service... :/
So I just rang up T-Mobile about this - typically useless response saying "we don't support this" and "you'll need to contact HTC". Now I could be wrong here, but isn't this T-Mobile functionality that they rolled out to us in their last update? Maybe this will work on Froyo?
Anyone have anymore info on this before I send T-Mobile a rude email?
...anyone know if this will be working soon? Thanks
I'd like to know how to get rid of this. I am so sick of the way this phone handles contact management.
These are the files you have to remove I think.

Hi,
I'm using T-Mobile but unfortunately on my non-branded HTC Desire Z the Software is not installed. Does anyone have an APK for this App?
Or can anyone recommend a sync/backup tool to save contacs (important: I'm using the field "second name" and some sync-tools don't copy this field)
Greetings

What is wrong with the std. sync of all your google contacts? Have worked flawlessly for me since day 1, and every time i try out a new rom they are downloaded as soon as i enter my google account..
There is nothing wrong with Google-Sync, but maybe call me paranoid, but I don't want to have my contacts (including their mail-adresses) stored by Google.
It is known that GoogleMail scans the Mails to show ads.
I don't want Google to scan my Adress-Book for Mail-Adressens of my friends. Sure, they state they won't do it, but you can't be sure......
Using a phone-provider like T-Mobile is also risky, but I trust them more than Google concerning data-privacy.
Heiko
Hey HHLieber, I extracted/deodexed the apks of MyPhonebook from my T-Mob branded stock (Desire) for v2.1 and v2.2.1 (both tested with MoDaCo ROM r8/r9).
Could not say if syncing is possible, because I'm using Vodafone. If you want these apks, let me know it.
Another idea with syncing is an own funambol (SyncML) server (also tested - SyncML stores a complete vcard in database).
But if you use a "Desire Z" with Stock ROM, are you able to store more information than first name and family name? Because I've never seen a HTC Stock ROM with this possibility (contact type "Phone" - HTC Desire/HD/S, HTC Wildfire/S). Also I couldn't set a type of mail address like "private" or "work".
Hi cxp_,
I just checked my Contact-List and you are correct:
The Name is listed as Surname, Firstname Secondname.
But if I click on edit, I don't see the field for secondname nor can I edit the name as it is stated on the edit-view as Firstname Surname.
Strange....
I achieved this construct by uploading the contacts from Outlook to my Google-Account, then exported it as VCF-File and imported it to my Desire.
It was a great battle, but I have to use the Second-Name-Field.
Can you copy me the APK-File?
We tried it yesterday using MyPhoneExplorer. A Collegue has a T-Mobile-branded Desire, downloaded the APK via MyPhoneExplorer and copied me the file. Unfortunately something went wrong since I cant install it on my phone - nor can't another collegue using an unbranded Desire

Thats the problem of HTC. They disabled some usefull contact information fields in their framework. I don't know why, but it is totally stupid. I have the same problems, storing all contact information in one contact type (without using "google"). Syncing with funambol or even vcard export/import will not bring back all contact information. For a smartphone, very disappointing.
I talked to htc support in germany, first answer was a standard reply from faq or so that it is possible, second answer from an engineer was "ok, your're right...not possible but i forward this idea, perhaps an update will fix that".
So, even the new devices from htc have this "bug/problem with phone contacts". Some weeks ago, I flashed a No-Sense Rom (originally from nexus one) to my desire with the result, that all fields were available. So, it must be a restriction of htc.
Your problem with branded rom was, that the apk files (used for MyPhonebook) are deodexed. So you have not only the apk file, but also a .dex file. To transfer it to another phone, you have to merge them with the use of some tools an the framework files. And also you need some other files.
I attached MyPhonebook for Android 2.1 (Eclair) and 2.2.1 (Froyo). (Structure from root directory)

Gosh! You're right.
Just checked it with a collegues phone: Samsung Something.
He has second name and so on.....
Hmm.... Can't you disable HTC Sense? On Windows Phone, Sense was just an add-on. I'm not so amused concerning the idea of re-flashing my phone.
Heiko
Without HTC Sense, you can't use any of htc apps (contact, calendar, messages..etc.). It is possible to remove Sense, but you will need the standard android apps.
The "No-Sense" version of MoDaCo comes with the standard apps and default framework. In "Sense" version you could also include standard apps beside htc apps, but this wouldn't help. In my opinion, the modified framework is major problem. Even with default android apps, I got the restricted version of contact.
So, I think without reflashing your phone, you wouldn't be able to add more information to your contacts. Funambol syncing and MyPhonebook are no solutions for you.
In my case, I only needed the detailed mail information and with MyPhonebook I can do this. But also syncing is a problem for me (Funambol).
I think, it's a problem of using vcard v2.1 for export/import and sync. Tested it with one contact (containing all possible information), only ~75% was restored.
Shame on HTC, In my case I'm not sure. Living with that disadvantage or selling phone and buy a LG or Samsung (rootable). Or a second trouble when buying new phone in the future and transfer contacts (with losing information)
Face it, with every new phone, you have to adapt to the functions of the new phone.
I used Windows Phone for many years, beginning with a non-touch-phone and then moving onward using Windows Phone 6.1 and later 6.5, always with HTC-Devices.
Windows Phone 7 is no alternative for me, since it looks like a blame copy of iPhone OS (only MS-Approved Apps, no access to the file-system, use of Zune....).
Since the App-Support for WM6.5 is vanishing, I had to change.
Android looked like a good alternative. And HTC-Devices weren't a bad idea either in the past.
Maybe you are right and the next phone won't be from HTC.....
You're right. HTC devices aren't bad and the update periods are quicker than from other manufacturer.
For you, reflashing with No-Sense Rom is an idea and the flashing process is not a big deal.
I consider about "living with the fact of sync problems", "reflashing with no-sense rom and the lost of nice sense apps" or "sell old one and buy something new".
Since my phone is up and running, I guess I will live with the crippled contact-fields.
Another Idea: Am I right that Android uses several Contact-Databases which are somehow merged? Thus would it be possible to create a new contact-database with the wanted field and then merge this new DB with the already existing contact-list?
P.S. I tried to copy your Phonebook-Files to my phone but had no success. Do I have to root it bevore copying the files?
No that's not right and wouldn't be usefull. (but thats not the problem)
Android uses one SQLite database called contacts2.db (before v2.1 - filename was contacts.db). In this database all information is stored, like contacts and call history. It is located in /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases.
The database contains one table called "settings". In it, there are all contact types your phone have (like phone,google,myphonebook,facebook etc.). Contacts are stored in another table with the hint of one of these contact types.
(table "settings" | columns: "account_name", "account_type", "ungrouped_visible", "sould_sync")
I tried to create and export a filled database from android emulator. Like it seems, there is no difference between emulator database and my database from desire.
So, the database structure was not changed by htc, only the api or something else what establish the conntection between database and gui (contacts app). One idea would be to exchange databases and look what stored information htc app display (all stored information including second name and so on or only self-editable fields).
to myphonebook: You have to use "ADB Shell" from android sdk to push them (no install from sd card or so). In fact of this, /system partition have to be writeable. The xml and jar file are also required.
Can't tell you, if it is possible to remount /system writeable with adb shell without rooting the device. (had done this after rooting process and included it in a rom)

If the DB wasn't changed/touched by HTC, then it must be the Contact-App, which only uses some Data-Fields of the Contact-DB.
Then it should be possible to use some other Contact-App, don't you think?
One point remains: Do other Apps (Phone, SMS, Facebook....) have native access to the DB or do they use the Contact-App?
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'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
We do not have information available at the moment we advise you to register e-club to receive further updates regarding your handset model

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?

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.

Hi all, i have flashed the revolution rom 4 and have the following question
I use a lot the people widget. All my contacts are google contacts and are automatically syncronised.
When i set a default action for a certain contact (any contact), after the next automatic sync the action is gone and i have to reset it again.
I have different groups in contacts which are linked to people widget, therefore suggesting to move the needed contacts to favourite group or starred in androir will no do.
Thanks in advance

Hi !
I have exactly the same issue on my HTC Desire S (S-OFF'ed, rooted and with the official HTC ROM for Europe (1.47.401.4)).
It is very weird because some of my contacts have the default action setting permanently set.
Maybe I have set their default action when I had my old (Orange) ROM and since the ROM change there is no effect at all ? I precise that the reset occurs only when there is a sync (auto or manual) of Google Contacts...
Kyrillos , have you installed a custom ROM like me ?
Do someone know a way to fix this annoying issue or have/had the same issue with other conditions (no ROM change?) ?
Thanks for your help !
Alright ! I found the solution after changing my keywords in searches (it is sometimes difficult for a non-english to find correct keyword to describe an issue ).
Anyway, here it is the solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-743569.html
Hello,
We've seen quite some bugs in bada 1.0 und 1.2. I was interested if Samsung took care of them in bada 2.0 since some of the bugs have a long history. Here's a list of collected bugs and also the current status in bada 2.0 beta up to KH1. I started the list in badaforums net, took it to badanation com and now I want to finish it here.
Some mentioned user names are from these other forums. I try to add a link to badaforums (also English) for you to read details in posts.
If you feel like a bad OLD bug is missing here, let's talk about that. I considered a bug when:
Really buggy, most other (old and new) phones do better:
GPS Slow SatFix due to aGPS and Almanach issue (especially after some hours/days or position change)
--> not fixed, due to user FreundBlase (ex Aliminium) still the same issue in KH1
--> Bada Support team reported "it's being worked at"
Dolfin Internet Browser wastes display space, especially in landscape orientation
--> fixed, URL bar on top scrolls away when page down scroll, so it's not in the way anymore. Navigation bar on bottom stays. In landscape mode it's slimmer, so wasting less space. Also text reflow so less zooming necessary. I consider it fixed.
Music Player ignores album grouped music when sorting by interprets, genre, ... without special tagging
--> changed/fixed, 1. seems to be able now to at least play per folder (due to handy-faq forum). 2. Due to user Foxs, Player now uses Album as headline and groups its titles under the Album. When selecting first title, Album plays in correct order. No tagging necessary. (KG6 and later)
--> Bada support team forwarded this issue to developer team and hopes for solution in bada 2.0.
email no real IMAP support: no "add IMAP folders", no "move mail to folder", etc.
--> most fixed, many improvements in IMAP. See post of waveboy below and handy-faq de. And also this post (link not allowed) for details down the thread.
email delete bug Bada 1.2: deleted emails keep download again.
--> fixed, emails are not downloaded anymore. Need details if that works both on POP3, IMAP (and sync?)
alarm clock: just re-activating an existing alarm isnt enough to engage it
--> fixed, in 2.0 8500XPKG5 (due to handy-faq forum)
Max 1300 SMS issue: 1.x could not hold more than overall 1300 SMS messages (from all folders added)
--> fixed, limit gone or higher
Phone reboots when syncing calender with Hotmail via Exchange ActiveSync and Serial Schedule is involved. At least a series like "Mo-Fr, not Sa, Su".
[*]Birthdays dont go to Kalender when Contact synced in (also from Kies?)
--> changes reported, seems to be fixed.
Music Player: Trying to exit, the Music Player still remains unclosed and must be manually shut down in Task Manager.
--> not fixed, still not closed after selecting "Back" to exit. (KH1)
Vcard (virtual business card) can not be send as sms, only possible as mms and email
--> not fixed, reported by waveboy.
Bluetooth battery impact: even after switching off Bluetooth (i.e. after using car handsfree) battery drains faster than normal. Rebooting Bada necessary to normalize battery consumption.
Music Player no equalizer with frequency bands
--> not fixed, still no classic equalizer in KH1.
--> Bug opened for Bada Team
No shortcuts to functions (kind of favorites across all bada functions/entries/numbers ...)
--> new: shortcuts to "anything". Can a second person confirm and be more detailled, pls?
no speed dial (like shortcut from home screen to dial top numbers)
--> fixed, keypad long press a number enables assigning/dialing a number
transmit/delivery report from message not integrated into original message (at least configurable)
--> not fixed, still comes back only as separate message. (KH1)
--> Bug opened for Bada Team
memo's cant be sent to other devices (PC, other phone brand) as text or in popular format
--> not fixed, still only .vnt Format can be sent (via BT/MMS/email).
no fast access to sound profiles (switch between meeting/outdoor/normal mode)
--> not fixed, sound profiles do not appear in QuickAccess Bar on Top, long way through menu>settins>sound profiles necessary. (KH1)
--> Bug opened for Bada Team
Number of bada-Apps is limited by number of 10 homescreens. All other Platforms don't impose limit
--> possibly not fixed, number of homescreens larger or extensable by folders, still a limit is reported (unconfirmed)
And a list of somehow less drastic issues:
no different font sizes in GUI (menus, lists)
--> new: at least in calendar, contacts, email, logs, memo's and messages font size can be changed
no addon fonts
No backup/restore or complete import/export available between Phone and PC
-->fixed Bada 2.0 now supports most things to be backed up/restored (verified by 1 user)
Java Programs: Security Notifications like "you now connect online" or "Allow App to access Phone storage", ... - selection cannot be persistent (permanently saved). We are missing a "Don't ask again" tick.
--> not fixed, selection still must be done every time, or delete settings.bin with sTunes.
Media (now Gallery?) function shows unwanted files, because it from all folders (ringtones, app icons, app maps), no way to exclude files oder certain folders from gallery
size of GUI elements (buttons, ...) cannot be resized to give more room for content
resorting in list of JAVA Apps not possible (could be worked around by homescreen shortcuts)
--> not fixed, Resorting still impossible, shortcut in Homescreen to JAVA Apps NOT possible.
Java Apps not user configurable to run in background, to rotate into landscape without sTunes. Missing setting likewise to bada 1.2 "Virtual Keyboard" or "Screen Resize"
--> changed, to run in background: pressing menu button in Bada 2.0 leaves Java App running in the background. rotate to landscape: status unknown.
Java Apps: Keyboard Click active even if clicksound is silenced in main Bada
-->fixed, no click sound anymore.
Java Apps (at least Opera): If network changes from WLAN to/from Mobile Internet (GSM/UMTS), App cannot access Internet until exit and starting again.
carrier-info widget only with fixed 4 lines, should be 2 lines or configurable or scrollable
Any new reports about status in 2.0 from testers???
Thanks for any contribution
Ray
So those were brought to Samsungs attention once, and 3 or 4 of them I reported as formal bugs at developer.bada.com.
Before presenting that again to Samsung, we should first add more findings - or even more bugs not yet listed here. Please note it's NOT the thread for new Bada 2.0 Bugs (Bugs in new functions), there's already another Thread going on here!!! It just for the most annoying old bugs, since I feel it's REALLY REALLY time to have them fixed now. And Release of 2.0 is not far away so let's hit the road collecting and then reporting them
Feel free to ask me if one or the other list item is not clear to you. I also hope some listed as "fixed" might be interesting for you.
Ray
Ok, seems there's no more wide-known bugs of bada 1.x that we forgotten. If you remember any now, just post it.
Some of the listed bugs are not really confirmed as fixed/not fixed. Look, it's mainly these:
email no real IMAP support: no "add IMAP folders", no "move mail to folder", etc.
--> most fixed, many improvements in IMAP. See post of waveboy below and handy-faq de. And also this post (link not allowed) for details down the thread
... it was not clear if bada's IMAP support now fulfills ALL expectations. It was only one user reporting, a second confirmation of somebody with knowledge was nice
email delete bug Bada 1.2: deleted emails keep download again.
--> fixed, emails are not downloaded anymore. Need details if that works both on POP3, IMAP (and sync?)
Can anybody test if that bug is gone both in POP3 AND IMAP accounts? With synced/acticeSynced accounts? Pushed emails?
Phone reboots when syncing calender with Hotmail via Exchange ActiveSync and Serial Schedule is involved. At least a series like "Mo-Fr, not Sa, Su".
relatively new 1.x bug report, still there in 2.0? Can somebody test?
Birthdays dont go to Kalender when Contact synced in (also from Kies?)--> changes reported, seems to be fixed.
Not sure if it also works when contacts are synced via Kies, via facebook, ... Anybody willing to test?
Bluetooth battery impact: even after switching off Bluetooth (i.e. after using car handsfree) battery drains faster than normal. Rebooting Bada necessary to normalize battery consumption.
No report of bada 2.0 so far
No shortcuts to functions (kind of favorites across all bada functions/entries/numbers ...)
--> new: shortcuts to "anything". Can a second person confirm and be more detailled, pls?
Shortcuts to any "menu" level icon is confirmed. How about shortcuts to an individual contact, submenu, file like mp3, java program, memo, ...?
Okay, so I hope there's bada 2.0 gurus's that can judge if it's good now or if there's still room for improvement.

Trace/Swype bug
Swype/trace is functional even when you are searching for a contact or typing an email address. Really buggy.
It should only be used for text fields that are meant to be for sentences.

sorry, I dont have bada 1.2, so I need to ask:
Was this bug already existing in bada 1.2? Here I only collect OLD bugs to keep the list handy and focussed. And to list things where it's REALLY TIME to get fixes and not have these forgotten.
THX for reporting anyway, Ray
Apps Installation Limit
A few users have posted that the limitation for apps installation
(max of 10 pages for apps) has been removed in Bada 2 but then i heard in this forum that there are still limits on the number of apps that can be installed if they are installed on the memory card...
is this true?

Here it's the question if it's seen as a bug or if it's seen as a design desicion of bada team. To answer that better, we should know how other Smartphones handle that. If bada is the only one with limit, then it's at least a disadvantage that an amount of people critisize.
So, what's the limits in iOS/Andoid/WP7?
Ray
So quiet here ...
I hope we don't miss to finalize the list in time - before bada 2.0 rolls out.

Apps Installation Limits
On iOS you can install as many programs as you want and make folders for the apps.
Same for Android 2.1 and up.
Dont know about wp7 BUT oldtimer winmobile 6 even the old winmo 5, smartphone 2001 platforms all allowed unlimited apps installation even supported folders within folders.
So does Symbian. In fact both winmobile and symbian supported unlimited text and contacts too.
ok, added as unconfirmed in first block, last item.
Thanks, bong

Ok, today I was checking in-call. bada 1.0.2 has an option during call, to reduce noise. So DevilM's seems to report a NEW bug in bada 2.0, not an annoying old bug. Anybody can confirm bada 1.2 also has this option?
Ray
still following bugs needs to be fixed...
1. gtalk needs to be kept running in background otherwise it just signed out... In bada 1.2 it was not like that instead even if you come out it would keep you online on gtalk and everybody can see you and send you the IM.
2. Exchange emails should be like iphone or android in that you don't need to go into company's directory to search the address book. It automatically searches while you type address in "To" field. In bada 2.0 you have to get into company option and then there you have to type and then press search and then select the contact and then it will come in "To" field....very painful process.
3. opera mini native app is still not available.
4. Angry birds and talking tomcat missing. (my 5 year old son still asks me why it is not there in such a expenssive mobile phone? He has seen it in lower end android phones.)
5. contacts sync does not happed two way. It only updated from outlook to mobile but not vice versa...)
6. Why music player settings are not present in music player itself. Same with internet browser. They should provide the setting in the application itself. we have to go to main menu and settings to change the equalizer settings and internet browser settings. it was not the case with bada 1.2.
Samsung please look into it.

What gtalk are you referring to?I am not able to find any gtalk at all.
No Noise Reduction?? that really sucks... Samsung replaced Call Recording feature on Bada 1.0 with Noise Reduction feature in Bada 1.2
I was expecting the availablity of both the features on Bada 2.0
Can anyone please confirm if these features are available on latest Bada 2.0 beta release?
Two bugs are not mentioned yet:
EASync for mails with GMail stopps working after a while and the email-profile needs to be deleted and added again for working...
If the shuffle function is activated in the music player and you go back to the list view, the player starts from the first song again.
I hope these are fixed in 2.0
new exlusive bug in official 2.0 is automatic time update.
bada 2,0 is not able to update the phone time from the sim network whic bada 1,2 did flawlessly
I try to sync with the Zimbra collaboration server at ny work through an ActiveSync account. This works fine for mail and contacts, but not the calendar. It won't sync at all.
I tried a lot of things: sync with another Zimbra demo server on the web: same problem. Syncing a LG phone on GB: works. Syncing my old HD2 (now on CyanogenMod 9, so also ICS): works syncs partly.
Since both Android 4 phones have issues, my guess is that it is related to ICS.
Can anybody confirm this issue?
Anybody?
Same problem here, tried purging my calendar of recurring items, purging it completely, upgrading to the latest Zimbra, no go.
New items on the phone seem to get pushed to the calendar, but not the other way around. This is going to be a killer problem, I live by my calendar.
Update: my colleague has the same phone (but unrooted) and has the same problem. So it seems to be a real issue with the combination of HOX and Zimbra.
I also live by my calendar. Therefore, I found a workaround: get CalDAV-sync from Google Play. This works with Zimbra, and it you get the benefit that it is possible to sync more than one (default) Zimbra calendar.
Same here
I have the same problem here. You can use LvSync for calendar - it works. Two-way sync is not yet completely fixed for the One X - a problem with Sense 4.0 according to the developer.
There is another problem with the default email client - it cuts the quoted text in replies (the option to send the quoted text is enabled in settings).

Thanks folks. Both of these are commercial apps, anyone tried both?
I note with a little concern that one of them is tagged as beta, a little cheeky for a commercial app.
Last update for VZA is like a year ago. Full of bugs I hope they will make a final release cuz I really like the app
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I use CalDAV-sync (beta) now and it works as it should. The two-way sync is the beta part but it works without any error until now. I know it is a commercial app, but the price is low compared to the time lost in testing/debugging zimbra calendar with the activesync
I haven't tested lvsync.
I did test icssync, which is free, but I could not get this to work wit Zimbra.
Thanks ardkuijpers. And this syncs with the standard HTC/Android calendar, not some custom monstrocity like the official Zimbra app mentioned above?
That didn't last long on my handset, what an /awful/ first attempt, and zero progress since. You have to wonder about the Zimbra guys, they're very hit and miss.
Yes, it syncs directly to your android calendar. It installs as a new account type, similar to activesync.
That'll do nicely, thanks again ardkuijpers.
