I used Windows media player to sync music to the default storage card location which is "my device\storage card\music". When I go to the HTC music Icon it starts searching for music and never finds any. The songs are mp3.
When I first got the TP2, I transfered a few files to the phone prior to getting a microSD card. When I went to the HTC music icon at that time it didn't have any problem finding the music.
What is the solution?
Thanks.
Anybody - need help on this.
Try delete everything (files and folders) under this folder
My Device\Application data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng\
(if you have trouble removing the content, reboot your device first)

Thanks for the reply. I tried the following and it worked:
I used Advanced Configuration Manager to change the default location to "\Storage Card\Music".
I deleted the music in the Music folder on my main storage and when I touched the touchflo Audio tab it said searching. I opened up library and when I clicked all songs they started to appear. After I did that, all was good.
yeah i don't like the sync option with windows media player.
i have a question though: how do you keep the music playing when the screen is off? i like to keep my phone in the case & i want to play music thru the speaker but i don't want the screen on.
wtf? double post? how?
my question is: How do you get it to change the artwork? I have the same picture appearing for every song, even though it is a different artist. Why does that happen?

Glad to know that works too
I recently changed my music folder's location (also to Storage card\Music) and Audio Manager refused to refresh. Deleting the content of AudioManager_Eng resolved the issue very well for me without resorting to Advanced Configuration (which I haven't installed)

Do you have to do this step every time you add new music to the phone so TF3D knows to re-index the music folder?

Which version are you using, I have just installed and after a reboot (of both PC and device) it works really well. The version I used can be found here - http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/how-to-sync-itunes-with-htc-desire-via-htc-sync/
Hi All
I found the HTC Sync 3.0.5387 here
www.rapidshare.com/files/409679123/Setup_3.0.5387.exe
Its the version from the Wildfire.
I have tested this on a XP SP3 / 32 with outlook 2010 / 32bit
Here is what I can say about it.
It will find the desire and even shows the correct picture for it.
It will sync Calendar and I was unable to find any thing that went wrong or i was missing.
It will sync some (NOT All) of my contacts (400+)
However...
I feel the reason HTC has not made it avallbale for us is due to the fact it does not work as expected.
On a re-sync of the contacts (to get the missing ones) it deleted a few (20+) and then added most (200+) a second time on my device.
It also comes up with "not enough memory on device" message on contact sync.
Had 389 contacts and got 260 on my device after deleting all of them on the desire.
I would not recommned that anybody uses it untill they come out with a new version.
If you do then here is an application that will remove your duplicate ones in outlook.

I found that if you wait until your phone says it's connected and if HTC Sync still doesn't show that if you click the 'Help' button in the top right It shows the sync screen
Tried it. completely hopeless... version 3.0.5422 HTC Sync on HTC Desire. Failed on all attempts, restarted com, restarted phone, plug in plug out.. showed signs of willingness to work but never gets through any stage of the sync and comes out with "Unknown Error Occurred"
for see my desire i must launch the sync
or wait so much
now i restart win for search other good way
sorry to hijack the thread but does anyone know how to schedule how often the updates happen ? the old version had settings that you could configure this but i can't seem to find them ?
Remember to select 'HTC Sync' mode and not USB charge etc?
I had the option to synv Firefox bookmarks but I don't see them on my phone.

Just downloaded the new HTC Sync version 3.0.5422 and it sees my Desire just fine but it can't sync my music from iTunes.
I can choose my playlists and all but no music is transferred.
Anyone else have this problem?
I have all my music on a NAS - Maybe thats the problem....
Hi,
Downloaded new HTC Sync. But it's not working. It will start. But when I connect my Desire it will not see me phone. Even windows does not see my phone anymore!
HTC Sync will also crash. Windows 7 64bit.

R

Solved!
Uninstalled everything, reboot, install again, reboot. And now it's syncing.
For those downloading from the UK, select Europe 2 as the location to download from. I found Europe 1 crawls along.

HTC Sync 3 5422 is working well and appears much more stable that version 2.
Negatives so far appear that:
1. It won't sync Keepass files. The program syncs other docs on the folder but ignores the Keepass file.
2. It won't allow you to select the folder location to which files are saved on the pc. By default, it stores photos in My Documents > My Photos.

I tried iTunes sync and it worked fine when I asked it to transfer my top rated tunes and they transferred to the phone no problem.
Although I`ve got problems with bookmarks from internet explorer or chrome. Nothing gets transferred?

Actually bookmarks do work, they just import htc bookmarks into chrome as a new folder. then you can add bookmarks to it and re-sync.
Contact and Agenda stay grey!
Hi everybody,
I'm trying to solve a problem for an older college of mine. He is trying to get his HTC desire to sync. No we downloaded the latest HTC 3.0.5422 and it works fine with all the features except the ones he needs for his work. Contacts and Agenda! So if you see the screen they just stay grey and you can't turn them on. Tried pretty much everything and searched a lot of forums but can't seem to find the solution.
In the HTC Sync 2.... had the option of selecting the sync manager so you could select with email program you want the data to sync. But I can't seem to find this function. Or am I looking at the wrong place... Because I read somewhere that you need to open the sync manager to solve this problem but i can't seem to find it.
So any suggestions?

Hi all,
Im surprised that there is no proper pc desktop sync program for the HTC android devices.
Im used to backing up everything on my pc such as with Nokia Pc Suite (which is still better than ovi suite in my opinion). Im presuming Samsung, Blackberry all have similar software suites which back up contacts, sms, mms, photos, etc etc.
For legal reasons I need to have backups of my sms messages.
Ive tried using Android Manager (by Mobile Action), but it seems to be very buggy and simple. Also the android manager apk seems to 'hijack' the phone, and not allow selection of disk drive etc.
The only other desktop sync suite I have seen is by Mark/Space, but they dont even have a demo to download to try first!!!
Are there any other programs out there that back up with a viewable GUI that allows you to browse the backed up sms etc
I dont want to backup to a cloud. I need the actual hard copies backed up to the pc for legal reasons. Even better if sms messages could be saved individually in non-editable format.
This is my only gripe with android so far!
Have you tried HTC Sync for Android.
It's available on their website.

Have you tired this application?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574677
I use to use it with my HTC Hero and haven't got round to trying it on my HTC desire, but this allowed you see texts and write texts via you PC, but you don't do it via USB you do it via WIFI.
Hope this helps and I'll quickly see if it works on mine so I'm not sending you on a goose chase. :
*Update* The applications works, and it also allows you to change the settings on the phone and look at photos you have taken as well as change contact details. ^_^ Going to start using it more now I know it works on the HTC Desire . Hope this helps

Great! will try this 2nyt when I get home. If only HTC put some effort into a desktop suite, not just some crappy backup/sync application.
Thx!
No problem, Yeah I agree that HTC should add some of these features into their software and keep their older phone up-to-date rather than creating new phone, but hey that's common sense I suppose haha.
Hi everyone. For some reason, on my wife's Evo (running Evio 2 w/ Netarchy's latest kernel), music apps are not able to "see" any of my wife's music files. We had similar issues with her photos, but for some reason the gallery just started working again.
Basically, when I go in through Root Explorer I can see that the files are there, and even can play them in the music player, but when I open the Music player I just get a "no music found" error message. Tried using Winamp and it just scans my SD card and finds nothing.
I re-formatted her SD card last night, re-synced all of her music, and still no dice. She is growing weary of bugs like this and is beginning to beat the drum for iPhone ("my old iPhone never had these problems!"), so I desperately need to solve this problem quickly.
Can anyone help or shed some light on what might be happening? Thanks in advance!
Make sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there... that'll stop the music from being scanned. Also make sure it's in the "music" folder, although some apps scan everything, some scan what you tell it to scan, and others only scan the "music" folder & its subfolders.
My Evo + xda Premium App = This post.
Try to unmount then mount your sd card.

+1 on this. Look in all your folders where your media is, and be sure there isn't a .nomedia file in there. If there is, delete it and reboot the phone. Problem will be gone.
I'm not even sure how the .nomedia file's become present in certain folders, but it can happen. (certain apps auto create them and place them there for reasons unbeknownst to me)

Also, with the .37 kernels, the usb transfer/read speeds were slow, so it could just "show up" after a period of time, but yes, either check for the .nomedia folder, or a quick reboot will make it show up.
Thanks everyone. I will check her phone tonight when I get home for the .nomedia file...sounds promising.
I've flashed mimicry 1.5 ROM. But it has this little bug. When set personal ringtone of a contact sometimes it plays on call, sometimes play default ringtone. I google it but can't find solution. I never had this problem with my stock ROM (2.3.3). Any ideas?
ive noticed this on various roms as well, it would be rather annoying if it were a bigger deal to me but i just stopped using ringtones allocated to one person. the fix would be take that sound from the sdcard and install it directly itno the system ringtones
easiest way may be a file explorer like root explorer, but you could use terminal or adb or various other methods as well

Okay, so here it is...
Same exact thing has happened to my wife's phone, but not mine. We even went to the store and tried a brand new phone and same thing! But...We just figured it out! Okay, so here we go...
Edit: If you are not a user of Google contacts, then do not do the merge described below because this will overwrite your phone contacts with your google contacts. Only do this step if all your Google contacts are up to date and include all contacts in your phone.
From within your computer, go to your Google contacts, the is a "My Contacts" label. At the bottom, there is an "Other" label. Somewhere in there are duplicates, so the phone doesn't know which to assign the cutom ringtone to. Go through and clean up all Google contacts, plus add the "My Contacts" to any contact that doesn't have it. Then delete any from the "other" list and any doubles in the contacts. Then, on your phone, open contacts and go to menu-more-settings-save new contacts to, and select Google. (Trust me on this one...PLASE DO THIS.) Then go to contacts, menu, and select Merge with Google. (You may lose contacts that you've put in your phone from your phone, but this is the only time this will happen.) From this point on, anything done in the Google contacts will instantly update in your phone and vise-versa, but more importantly, your ringtones should work when assigned to individual contacts.
If that doesn't work, let me know, there is one other thing to try. Good Luck!

It is important to now that this bug appear from time to time. Also i've tried to use app as contacts and phone replacement but unfortunately it using contact & contacts storage and it's a little bit useless
What i did so far and it doesn't work:
Formatted phone numbers without dashes and spaces
Tried to store contacts locally and to google contacts
Tried to convert all of my ringtones to the *.ogg for minimizing resource needed
Tried 3rd party app
I'm open for suggestions. From other thread i realize the problem may be is this little lag that appear from time to time
