hello, just need a little help with my One X browser, The problem i am having is with the browser homepage, i have set it so that when i open the browser it automatically loads up google.co.uk. the problem that i am having is that my phone loads up the wap site for o2 active. the handset is o2 branded and as such comes with all the usual o2 junk including apps and book marks. I deleted all the book marks relating to o2 and restarted the phone thinking that it would load up my google homepage, no such luck! Is there something on the phone i can just hook up to PC and delete? Any help or useful comments would be much appreciated thanx very much

Hi everone,
I'm new here so hello.
I installed Black 2.5 on my SPV m3100 today and I'm stunned an how much faster the thing runs! Thanks so much to the people who put that together.
Has anyone else noticed there PC version of Messenger start acting weird since installing it on there pda though?
I know the outlook contacts thing is a bit annoying but I can cope with that (I'll just spend some time doing some house keeping on my contacts list) but all the conatcts in my PC version seem to have reset to the adresses and alot of my messages don't get though. Weird.
Any help would be appreaciated.
Hi guys, and great forum.
At the outset mods should feel free to push this is the appropriate forum.
I seem to have fallen in love with the xda orbit/P3300. I run 2 websites and am more and more often away from home these days that my trusty nokia N73 just aint cutting it for web access.
So I have looked about at something more mobile web access tailored and bumped into this. My questions to help me:
I'm currently with Vodafone, not due an upgrade til November. I could buy the phone sim free, unlocked. Having searched the forum I see that it should work when the Voda settings (wap, mms) are entered. Is this correct?
I hear that some folk have been caught out with hefty data charges because the phone always uses gprs constantly. Again, is this right?
This probably isn't suitable for this forum, but if data charges could be an issue, would it be better to go with someone like T-mobile that give unlimited access?
Finally, having read the manual, i'm a little confused with the messaging email set up. Are texts sent immediately when you tap send? Are mms saved until you next go "online" with wap? When i want to pick up emails, can i do as i do now, connect remotely via wap to my BT server and pick up on demand, or will it always automatically do that on connecting to wap.
My apologies for the questions, and hope one of you good folk can help me out.
Thanking you in advance
Mike
Hi MikI,
It doesn't matter what device you use, as long you have access to the wap and mms gatewats, so with you vodaphone sim you should be able to.
Some software once installed (weather apps, etc) can be configured to automatically download new updates and thus incur charges without you knowing it. The phone itself has nothing to do with that.
It's really up to you with what data plan suits you, if you constantly use gprs, then you should know that getting a flatrate plan is the best thing to do, again it depends on your usage.
Yes SMS messages are immediately sent when you tap send. For MMS you can configure it to either connect automatically and send your message immediately once you tap send or to wait once you go online and then send it.
Hope that helps, just my 2 cents.
Cheers.
If your main motivation is mobile web, I would look into getting a UMTS phone..GPRS might not do the trick for your needs.
Hello gang, and thanks for your replies - they are really helpful.
Web access is one of my motivations, but the main ones I have is being able to pick up my emails from the ISP (and going on web if they emails say I have to), and the organiser functions.
Web access is really restricted to things like google searches for numbers etc, if i had to do some serious web browsing it would only be to my sites and I would hope few and far in between.
Now the choice between sim free, or a new contract
Thanks all again, and if anyone can suggest anything i may not be considering or missing about this handset I'd be most grateful.
My first post on this site, and I hope someone can help me.
I have an ageing O2 XDA (WIZA200) that is falling apart. It has my calendar, contacts, sent/received text messages and phone log on it, as well as notes and some word and excel files.
I have been given a used but serviceable T-Mobile HTC MDA III Compact (ARTE110) and I want to transfer my data to this PDA (as it has GPS).
The MDA will not accept my O2 Sim card as it is locked, although I assume that I can get it unlocked (if you have any ideas about that, I'd be grateful)
The main problem, though, is getting my data from one PDA to the other. Is there any software that will do this?
you can sync with outlook and that way get the data over
you can beam files and contacts to the other device
Hi,
I am having a problem when I try and access my Sky.com email account from my Desire. I get to the Sky.com page, click on my email, sign in and then get "Data connectivity problem" and "the page contains too many server redirects" and then a "web page not available" screen.
I have plenty of memory available on both the phone and the SD card. I have cleared cache, history and cookies etc.
I have removed all reference to sky on the phone, googled it, and tried again. Same result.
I have no problem accessing my account on my pc and I used to be able to get onto the account using the phone. It makes no difference whether I am connecting via wifi or the mobile network.
Any ideas what this means and any ideas how to solve.
Thank you.
The browser is having a problem with the way the website redirects it to the correct page. Possibly try a different browser - Dolphin, perhaps?
Thanks for that.
Have just down loaded Dolphin (nice browser) but no joy, I get exactly the same messages.
It isn't a problem accessing the account however because I can, via my pc, organise the Sky emails to be sent to my hotmail account which I can access via the phone.
However, as I used to be able to access my Sky emails from the phone but now cannot, I want/need to sort it out!!
Any further ideas?
I don't have a Sky account so can't check to see exactly what's going on here. You say "I used to be able to access my Sky emails from the phone" - do you mean on your HTC Desire? And it's just stopped working properly? That being the case, I suspect you're going to have to wait for Sky to come up with a fix. NTL/Virgin users have experienced a similar problem: http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?p=40027958
Thanks again.
I used to be able to access my e-mails directly from the Sky account on the Desire. I went abroad on holiday recently and couldn't access them (ie get into my Sky account after signing in) on the Desire, I presumed because I was out of the UK and something needed to be changed in my Sky email account settings.
However, since returning, the position remains the same. Google provide the email service for Sky.
PS And on that subject, I am also getting a security warning telling me there are problems with the security certificate in that the name of the site does not match the name on the certificate ie Sky is the site; Google is on the certificate!!
Did anyone get through this? I am getting the same damn problem.
Someone pls help.
Try operamini, that's what I allways use when websites play up.

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?
