Hello friends.
I'm getting pretty annoyed by my DHD. Everytime I reset the phone to factory defaults it starts to reinstall all the programs that was installed prior to the reset. Is there a way to avoid this?
How often do you reset to default?

Well once a month. Especially when my youngest daughter have had put her fingers on it

Go to settings ---> privacy and uncheck backup my settings....this would do it! Enjoy!
I had the same issue when flashing a new Rom. Now I disable the option sphuyal pointed out, but I skip adding my Google account until I have disabled the restore option.

The rule for our son is that he does not touch Mummy and Daddy's phone. He has his own phone, which Mummy and Daddy are not allowed to play with.
This might solve your problems... depends how old your daughter is

I know, but she's so sweet and I can't help lending it to her. She loves to play Angry Birds and just to hear her laughs is resetting worth once awhile.
Thanx for all your advices. This works like a charm.
Factory reset using hardware
Sorry to bring up this post, but I believe this will help a lot of people
1. There are two types of factory reset inthe HTC Desire (or Desire HD)
The software is via the settings (I realised this method still keep rouge applications or applications with virus/adware.
The hardware method is by removing and inserting the battery and holding down the volume down button as you press the power button.
You should see a white screen with three Android figure.
Using volume down scroll to reset. This is the ultimate reset
2. I was downloading some games from Android market and I got an adware "virus" that spam my other applications. It refuses to uninstall even I have uninstalled the other applications. So be careful with what you download.
3. I am AMAZED my HTC desire HD can actually sync my calendar, sms and phone list after that! I love the HTC desire HD.

First time I've had issues with it. It will let me get to the point where I select try or buy but then when I go to verify it just continuously loads. I tried afterwards on the PC and it just says none of the above items are available for purchase. This was initially found on the moron test but I am having the same issue occur with all apps.
I had that happen about a week ago on the weekend. Come Monday, the market started working again.

Neither could I. And some of the apps were paid apps that needed updating. It was quite annoying. But I was glad to see it working again come that Monday, without the need to do a hard reset.
yup, having that issue here too, i think it's tied to either your account, or your location... not quite sure why tho...
I have had issue with market place a couple of times. Mostly the update won't succeed and I'll need to delete the app then install it again.
Having the same problem here to. Can't update or download apps (sweden).
I'm having the same problem on the phone and trying to install from the Zune PC marketplace.
Me too
yes, same in Dalian China from 19th Mar.
I tried to install apps from Zune on my PC but got error "None of the selected items is available for purchase". Anyway it worked well before. And then I tried to install using marketplace on my Focus but got another error "Can't get this info right now. Check back in a little while."
Some Chinese uses got same error, but some can still download/install apps from marketplace. So it's very strange issue. Is it related to my live id?
Anyone can help on this? I only found US ZUNE support number but I cannot dial.

Just wait a day. Monday will bring it back to normal. It effects users at different times. MS might be doing some kind of tuning to the market to help refine it. At least that's what I rationalize it to be.
It's working this morning, I was able to download a few free apps and buy some songs without any issues.
I still have the Problem, and also never got that pre-nodo update... Truly sucks...

Hey
So i updated my non carrier locked HD7 that had not been hacked nor touched in anyway using the disconnecting the internet method. Everything went according to plan and i now have Mango.
Although seem to be missing a few features, i knew HTC was meant to include attentive Phone in there built but it is no where to be seen also there is no music search in bing. When updating it said the update was for HTC so i think its the right one.
I assume the music search is a region thing as i live in Australia but im not sure about attentive phone. I just hope i do not have the AT&T build rather then a carrier unlocked one.
OS version 7.10.7720.68
Firmware Revision Number 2250.21.40502.401
Any help or advice would be great, perhaps a restore is needed ?
Update
Big vision does not seem to work for QR codes bar codes or looking at books it just comes up with could not find.
In settings - regions and language, change search language to USA. This will enable full Bing Vision. Result will be for US though.

In Australia, only QR codes and MS Tags work, as there is no local store information yet (ie, the whole point of scanning books/movies/barcordes).

Yes. Not straight away though. The Attentive Phone app had to update itself, along with a few others once it realised I was on Mango.

Yes, it took 6 hours before i got an update notification for attentive phone (amongst others) I guess it has something to do with how often the phone checks back with marketplace to look for updates
No voice guidance in UK!
Seeing as this is a missing features thread, where the flip is the voice guidance within Bing Maps for the UK?
The damned thing still doesn't play m4p podcasts properly, even when subscribing to them in Zune. When the files have embedded objects like links etc., they open in the video player which doesn't work in background or under locked screen.
I removed Attentive Phone from my phone and i cant put it back on in the market place and it does not appear in settings like it was eluded it would be.
I had the same issues. It was available through the HTC Hub though and I was able to download and install it.

No, I mean something that works better than a fast switch, and better than THIS fast switch. We have repeated instances of system applications, like 3 messagings, one setting and one WiFi (the wifi settings).
Also, you cant resume the instance when opening a toast notification. Which sucks. They expect that when you receive a toast from, I dont know, WhatsApp, you instead of opening the notification, you hold back button and switch to the App. Brilliant.
If not this flaw, the OS would be perfect for me.

Alright, I thought it weren't working at all But you are right. Maybe in the next big update. It is still growing.
Hi,
I've just installed Windows 8 Consumer Preview and then installed Zune.
Now, when I plug my phone Zune says:
CONNECTION ERROR
Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again.
I tried these solutions but with no luck: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...ur-phone/a114fabb-c1df-4204-9520-eb76ff40660d
I have an Omnia 7 with mi7ROM.
Thanks in advance
Revert back to Windows 7
I heard somewhere that you have to install the whole Zune package manually and that it's a pain to do so, I will look it up and post it as soon as I can find it.
I have just done a fresh install of Windows 8 CP, everything is working lovely and smooth except Zune for Windows Phone. I have installed Zune but every time I attach my phone I get the error that it "Can't connect to your phone. Disconnect it, restart it, then try connecting again".
I have tried this multiple times, also I have reinstalled Zune, searched Microsoft support (there are a number of people with the same error in Windows 7, but the certificates that Microsoft talk about don't exist on this installation).
I had no problem with it in the DP.

I just remembered that Windows 8 is going to do away with Zune, this might have something to do with it.

Known problem. Sorry if already posted. Had same thing. Has to do with leap day. Ms acknowledged problem. Happens on win7 as well if you do a fresh or new phone connection to Zune. Put system a day forward to March 1 and it will work. You can the revert back to current date.
Hello All,
We're currently having success in resolving this issue by altering the date on a PC to March 1st, 2012.
Once the date has been changed, close the Zune Software and disconnect the Phone, then go ahead and reconnect the Phone and the Zune Software should start automatically. If not, go ahead and start the Zune Software as normal.
Ideally, the Phone should be detected and you may have to go through the process of naming the Phone and checking for updates again.
Right now, this is just a workaround, however.
Kind Regards,
Matthew N.

Well, I got my HTC titan yesterday and have this connection issue.. I spent almost 9 straight hrs searching thru the web and tried all possible solutions.. Even those that seems ridiculous... None worked...tried fresh install of zune, different computers, reset my phone countless times... Worst is that the delete cert method cause my omnia 7 to stop working altogether.. Darn!.. Gave up and went to bed after midnight a sad sad man..
Interestingly, this morning, everything work!! Coincidentally, todays 1st march...
Not sure what happened, made me think that it could be Zune need to settle for a while.. But, I am a happy man today!
Mine is working relatively well, for the most part. Zune seems to detect it just fine until my phone goes to the lock screen, at which point I have to unplug and reconnect it. Aside from the it seems to work perfectly.
Now, the Windows Phone Emulator doesn't work at all.
I had same issue, HTC Titan. And I did all, reinstall, reset etc Zune and Phone. But after reflash my phone with firmware:"You can find HTC Titan, firmwares in HTC Titan Section." all worked.

Supposedly they are trying to come up with a new Music Player that goes across all Windows devices and they are actually thinking about doing away with Zune, I know that apps will now be available via a app store kind of like on Android instead of Zune.
Long story short I got a new ATT branded phone about 2 months ago. I decided to open it yesterday and treat it like a PMP. The reason I cannot use it like a phone is that I'm on the Tmobile network, so I will need to unlock it in the near future.
After a full charge the batter says that it will last for 1 day and 17 hours. <----- This is normal?
For some reason all the Nokia apps are not installed on the phone. I went to the market place on my phone, and typed Nokia, and nothing officially by Nokia shows up. I went to Nokia's website on my phone, to download the "Nokia Drive" pack, and it says my phone is not a Nokia phone.
What gives? How do I fix this problem? Hopefully I can use the map pack because my gps is dying .
Did you update to Tango using the cabs provided on this site ???? if so you need to do a refurbish with the stock firmware. I had this happen to me but only after I upgraded to tango.

Your battery will learn your usage and adjust accordingly.. My HTC Surround w/o SIM and WIFi always on, lasts about 3 days. But that battery is only 1230mAh vs. 1930mAh.
No apps are installed by default. You open Marketplace on your phone and Nokia will be listed as an app option. You can go to the Nokia app hub from there.

Thanks for the quick reply!
The first time I unsealed the box, I immediately connected it to the outlet to charge full. After the charge I turned on the phone and could not find the Nokia apps.
I then connected it to my computer to update the firmware, but after the update I was still unable to find or download the Nokia apps.
I do not know what "cabs" means but I did not update the firmware through this website, but through the Zune software.
My firmware is still Windows 7.5 OS version 7.10.8112.7

Thanks for the reply. I was concerned about the battery because my friend's HTC Titan 2 which she got the same time as me can last 6 or 7 days on a full charge, and it states that in the battery saver screen. I just wanted to be sure that Nokia Lumia 900's battery life is aroun 1 or 2 days after a full charge.
I previously had a Lumia 710, and the software is automatically installed with the phone, and from investigation, the Nokia apps are supposed to be on the phone without you having to download it. Aside from that, the marketplace/Nokia does not recognize my Lumia 900 as a Nokia phone thus my inability to download the programs.
I am also missing the Nokia app hub which was present in the Lumia 710.
If you go into the Marketplace and you cannot see "Nokia collection" listed as the first option then you need to force the marketplace to refresh. Easiest way to do this is to make sure you are signed in to your Windows Live account on the phone and then open the Xbox app. Let the app refresh its own list and then exit out to the home screen. Now if you load up the marketplace you will see "Nokia collection" as the first option in the list.
Note if that does not work, you might need to restart the phone after letting the Xbox app do its thing (most of the time it works right away though). If you get no joy after this then its possible the ROM is not stock or has had alterations done to it.

For a moment there I thought I ended up with a faulty phone and that I would have no way of exchanging it for another one or I'd have to prepare for a confrontation with the Microsoft store . hahaha.
Can I also get information on what your phone says for remaining battery life in the battery saver options under settings? I just want to verify that after a full charge, the phone says it has approximately 1 day 23 hours (more or less) remaining.
To be honest I've never looked in the battery saver menu after charging the 900 (I'm not really one of those guys that cares exactly how much battery I have, the rough indication from the battery icon at the top is enough for me). I'll need to charge my phone overnight tonight so I'll let you know what mine says in the morning.
