Any luck with HTC Sense Dashboard? Is it working for anyone?
I have been getting this message for past 1 week.
"We're working on retrieving your device location and settings. This may take up to 2 hours to complete."
I am not able to make it ring as it says "Unable to connect to your phone to make it ring."
I have erased my htc sense account and tried a new one but still no luck..
Can anyone help?

HTCSense.com is fantastic... when it works. It's a bit of a joke really because the idea of remote lock/wipe is that as soon as you know it's been stolen or something you can lock it, not wait 5 hours for it to come through. The same with the ring, you make it ring cause you can't find it, "unable to connect to device" is just useless
Pretty much everyone has these problems but you could try deleting your actual sense account and the sense account off the phone and trying again, but I doubt you'll have any luck
Thanks for the help. I did try all those things but in vain. nothing happened. I guess we will have to live without this particular feature of having an HTC.
There's already a Sense discussion going on here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=817833

I've had my Tilt 2 for about a month now. I've tried 4 or 5 different ROMs now, but i've come across a problem all of a sudden that wasn't fixed by a hard reset or flashing the stock ROM back. The phone all of a sudden doesn't work! I can still send and recieve text messages just fine, but the phone doesn't work. It says "Dialing...," sits there silent for a few seconds, then beeps 3 times and goes back to my recent calls list.
Beyond this, I have also not been able to get the text message announcements to work on any ROM except for the stock AT&T ROM. I get the same result with all of them, having tried combonations of several different ROMs and three different copies of MSVC. Now matter how I try MSVC will announce my emails, but not my text messages, which happens to be the exact opposite of what I want. Anyone know how to fix this? A registry edit, maybe?
Also, I have tried several different copies of HTC QuichGPS on these cooked ROMs and they all give me an error when I try to run the program. It says something to the effect of "certificate not being signed...one or more missing components..." Is there a particular version that I need to install, or is Advanced Config not really turning off the certificate security?
Any help with any of these problems would be greatly appreciated, the phone in particular being a higher priority of course. Thanks in advance for any help provided.

The call error should be fixed by calling your provider on a different line and tell them you lost the ability to call after upgrading to a new ROM.
Not sure about MSVC. Do you have high priority messages only checked?
SDK Certs should get rid of any certification errors.
*edit*
Now that I think about it your GPS problem might also be linked to the first one. Have them reset all your connections when you call.

I'm going to try to flash a new radio first and see if that fixes it. i don't really have my hope up though because i've tried several ROMs over the past month, and it just suddenly did this around lunch today. and i know one or two of the custom ROMs had radios flashed with them, as did the stock one i just reverted back to. but it a radio flash doesn't work, then i'll try calling my provider. i just hate to have to sit on hold waiting on AT&T. thanks for the advice.
Firstly, I'm running the rooted stock rom (OTA 1.45..). I don't know if this has been a problem SINCE I've rooted, as I don't go on facebook much, but, one of my friends, I just dded her on facebook the other day, and then noticed that it wouldn't let me link her fb account on her contact card because her fb account wasn't present in my contacts.
Anyways, whenever I try to refresh my facebook contacts, it takkes me back to the "online directories" screen with a message that says CONNECTION ERROR.
I can login to my fb just fine and things like my friendstream and the facebook app itself are ok, but, my contacts will not update at all.
Is there a file I'm supposed to flash, or what? Any help would be appreciated.
This has been discussed here and everywhere else
As of right now, their seems to be a problem with the Facebook servers. You can log into Facebook for HTC Sense fine, but it will show that you have "no friends". When you attempt to refresh, it will just load up and then exit out of the program with the "connection failed" error.

Sorry. I've seen discussions about it, but with so many different RoMs out, I wanted to make sure it was system wide rather than one or two in-particular. Thank you though.
weird, when I try to add facebook for sense to my accounts sync, it says warning the service is curently unavailable. do you want to try again? and never works.
Nothing new. It's been broken for over a week. It has nothing to do with being rooted.

This is the first I've heard of Facebook not working... mine has been working with no problems whatsoever. (and I'm constantly on it, refreshing all of the time) Maybe it's not as widespread as some people think?
Facebook for Android works.
Facebook for Sense is not working.
Two different things that people are getting confused. It has been down since last week. It has nothing to do with ROOT or NONROOTED phones, it has to do with Facebook's connection or server hence the "connection error" that is displayed when you try to refresh your contacts.
I'm going to take a look at logcat when I can but it doesn't seem to be a connection issue (at least with authentication). Deliberately enter the wrong password and you'll see.
An issue with Facebook none the less.

Exactly. You can log in successfully, but when it comes to getting your contacts between Facebook servers and your phone, it isn't working. Somewhere there is a disruption between the 2. Androidforums.com has been on this for a while and even the HTC.com forums have had people talking about it.
From what someone mentioned, this happened to the iPhone a few weeks ago and was successfully fixed ASAP...
Soooo, basically, we're just waiting for it to fix itself?
... ugh.

I'm sure this issue will be fixed ASAP (As Soon As Possible) too, rather than just sitting around twiddling their thumbs...
Go here this should work. Be sure to read my post as well.

The problem seems to be fixed now. I just happened to open my people app, and pow! Facebook friends and contacts were updated. Pictures, updates, everything.
Hello all.
A few weeks ago, my HTC mail app started acting up telling me "Login failed" anytime I tried refreshing the app to check my emails from both my Yahoo & Gmail account I have set up on it. I called Sprint, and after a ##3282# mission with them, they were able to get it to work.
However, yesterday it started doing it again. This time, I tried the #3282# technique myself to no avail. I tried clearing the data from the app, but when I try to enter my user name/password, it tells me the info is incorrect. I know it isn't, because I can login on any computer, and even the Yahoo app works. However, I like using the HTC app for my emails and I want to get that one working again.
Sprint is now telling me they don't know what is going on, and want to:
a) Do a complete factory reset to my phone, or
b) Take it in to a Sprint store for service.
Does anyone have any ideas of something I can try before giving in to them?
I have the direct number to Sprint Tech Support, and they have me on hold researching the issue now. However, I don't think they are going to come back with anything helpful. I think I just got lucky with a good tech the first time I called and am now dealing with far less tech-savvy people.
Is it just me or can anyone else not access the manage contacts section ?
All i can do is remote lock, remote wipe & ring at full volume.
I thought there were meant to be more features
Does it looks like the image attached at my post?
I contacted HTC already 2 times about this, but they keep saying they're ''working on it''..
I hope they fix it soon, anyway.. i'm already developing my own htcsense.com-like app
Yeah, except Locate Phone isn't even working for me
I can confirm that it's the same for me too on HTCSense.com Greece.
In Poland the same HTC support said they should fix it till the end of this year ... HEHE 2 days left I don`t think so ...
Known issue. Just wait and see, can't do much more...

Same here in Holland, can't do anything with htcsense.com
I have spoke to HTC about this and this is the (some what vague) reply i got:
Sorry for the inconvenience. But htc sense has had to go under further construction to get all of the features to work. As they are always modifying the website etc. it is stopping the phone finder and phone ringer features from working. It is also stopping customers creating and logging in on our website.
You may find the features to work and then stop again, as they are very intermittent.
So please keep trying to create an account and log in, as eventually it will work because not all of our customers are having issues at this moment in time.
Htc apologise for the inconvenience. And hope to get the website working and fully functional as soon as possible.
HTC can confirm that HTC Sense.com is currently in development for use in a near future. Specific device variants, including regional or national variations that will have access have not yet been confirmed. Once more detailed information is available on the release date and which of the devices will use this feature then a more formal announcement will be made. We recommend following us in Twitter for instant notifications at http://twitter.com/htc_eu
I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

It seems like htcsense.com is STILL not working properly. I only see the dashboard and can locate my phone and make it ring, but nothing else is there. You may have several hours after your registration for even the dashboard to show up. Also try a different browser - in the beginning the site didn't work in my Firefox for some reason, but it worked in Chrome - go figure
Still isn't working for me.
I tried to remotely lock my phone as a test, it didn't lock but now the website says my phone is locked
I tried using HTCSense.com yesterday, it was my first time since december. I cannot believe that the software is still broken. It is even more broken than it was on december.

Same here, it keeps telling me I need to enable the locate my phone phone finder on my phone. Except it had been enabled since day one and I've never disabled it ever. :/
It works for me, but I can only use the dashboard (no contacts, footprints, whatever). Oh and the lock phone option takes a while to kick in.
Woao. The locate phone actually worked, no more Nigeria for meh! It was off for only like 50m. I turned on Locations while it was scanning for my phone, dunno if it worked just because of that.
i think all the things you can do on your phone.i don't think htcsense.com is very useful,but on your phone it can backup your settings and contacts.This is useful.
Just recently my phone is getting hung up when trying to download my e-mail. It can't log on, then it won't disconnect. I've tried a hard reset and still no luck. I'm connecting to a g-mail account. I've been running the same ROM for over a yr and haven't had any issues until just this week. Any one else out there have an issue with this?
Looks like this is a Google problem. They're researching it. Read about it here.
The word is if you disable automatic send/receive and manual download instead, it should work.
However, I'm in the process of trying this now, and it's doing the same thing.
thanks, I just set-up a yahoo account and it's working good. Guess I'll push my e-mail that way until they get it figured out.

"Word" isn't entirely correct... my phone still hangs at login stage even after a hard reboot. Switching to POP access from IMAP looks more promising.
Neither worked for me, so if it works for you, you're one step ahead.
A fix for another problem seems to have fixed the problem for those who started experiencing the hanging since May 19th.
Google is still in the process of confirming whether this fix is officially *the* fix for mobile Gmail.
I can confirm on my phone that Gmail (at least manual send/receive) is now working again. I just switched back to automatic send/receive to see if that works as well.
Hi do not know if these were witnessed feel that your phone so me and my other friends was what happened to us

It would be my guess we all experienced the same thing... someone at gmail goofed. Wasn't limited to any one device or carrier. They seem to have fixed it now, mine's been working fine since the day after my last post.
Searching the internet I found something on a topic also called the sleep of death occurred only for the HTC Touch Pro 2 which had the Windows Mobile 6.5 version will leave the link in case you want to see.
