Is there any software that lets me manage my contacts on my pc? Like the pc studio for Nokia phones? As far as i can see, the htc sync only lets me sync, don't even know what it sync's, lol...
There's motorola software (search xda for it) that can do it, I didn't find it particulary good but it works.
Google Contacts
This is where I do all my managing. Fulfill my needs and syncs to the phone immediately.
google.com/contacts
sorry, cannot post real links, something about new members.

I access the contacts online too, don't see much need for anything else, but you could probably add/edit contacts to Outlook and use HTC Sync to grab the changes from there? I haven't tried it, so I could be wrong
Use the contacts within Google Mail?
It's nice that you share your discovery, but for a long, long time there is no problem with the management of contacts.
For example, MyPhoneExplorer 1.8 released 2010-10-01:
"Many people waited for this update and now its finished. MyPhoneExplorer is now able to manage Android-Phones - and not only from SonyEricsson. This Means there are many new supported models fe SonyEricsson X10, HTC Desire. Motorola Milestone, and much more."
.
please don't throw bricks at me
I just wanted to know how the new iTunes sync with froyo works?
I would like to know as well
I have tried HTC Sync v.3 (can't remember where did I get it), anyway this version has complete different interface to version 2. In the music secion, it does has sync with iTunes playlist, but when I select it, it doesn't sync to my phone.
thanks, i got version 3.
phone says connected
htc sync says no phone connected
i'll to reinstall
Where did you get HTC sync 3 from?

I would like to know how the ITunes sync feature works.
But also of interest to me and i think everyone here, is how the iTunes streaming feature works so that you can play your iTunes collection on your PC via your Android 2.2 device, that would rock.
It would be nice to have HTC Sync for Mac too
Ah I was just looking on the HTC website for the update to the Sync - not that I want to sync iTunes with it - but if the functionality was there I wanted to see what it was like... before I never use it again!
I wonder why the Sync tool isnt on the HTC website..

in help menu it says for android 2.1
maybe it's not ready for 2.2 yet?

Works fine for me using FroYo and the latest version of HTC Sync, am doing 2 way sync for both photos and iTunes without any issues. I DID have to uninstall the original HTC Sync first though and reboot both the phone and PC after installing.
The .exe I used can be found on this page - http://www.mikesouthby.co.uk/2010/08/how-to-sync-itunes-with-htc-desire-via-htc-sync/
Kia Ora all.
Yup works great!
You need the HTC WildFire released sync app version 3.0.5387, all previous versions removed, reboot both phone and pc, connect up and OLE! Why it isn't clearer i'll only put down to STUPID HTC approach. Or the fact that its not supposed to work? I'm a happy camper so who cares..
Works sweet. I use doubletwist normally, which i love. Its just the annoying sync read time of doubletwist to process through iTunes after i've made a change thats hard to handle.
running on Windows 7 64 bit
have a great day with froyo!

Guys. Worked great for me also, BUT, even though they are on the phone, my Music app cannot see them and just shows 8 default demo mp3's? Any ideas?

If you wanted to sync music/video/photos you could always use DoubleTwist.
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 second that. It's not listed as a Universal Search option.

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.

Ah ok, thanks for the info - wasn't aware it was such a short time ago. Still, considering the Desire HD has just been released the problem should have been fixed.

I'm so relieved about this, when I got my Desire (since my SE c905) I missed this program big time. You need a client from the market and version 1.8 from http://www.fjsoft.at/ you can do all sorts of synching with it, edit phonebook and calendar n stuff... best of all you can take screenshots without root
could you have edited playlists etc with this?
that annoyed me no end with my c905 - not ebing able to apart from on the phone itself
You cant but its worth writing to the developer, he's really sound and I'm pretty sure he's up for adding as much as is usefully possible with his app. At least you'll get an answer to know whether it is possible or not.
I should add, you can use it to send texts and make calls from your PC using your phone.
Top spot & thanks for the heads up, used this loads when I had SE's. Don't miss the phones but did miss this when I moved across to android.
Sweet ! Never expected that, also used this program alot with my old SE.
This is sweet! Haven't tried it out yet but have fond memories of it on my old Sony Ericsson devices!

Its possibly something to do with the Facebook contacts being involved. Be nice if it gets fixed, well the dev is aware of the problem anyway so maybe a fix will come. I'd prefer to be able to backup/manage my phone offline with MPE so it would be great to see this fixed.
Be sure to encourage the dev with some Euros, I gave him 10E back in my c905 days but I think he deserves a little more for this new revelation (along with an email with some requestifications)
@iLHaNroID, as the above poster says, do you have the client installed from the market? I connect by USB (faster than WiFi) and selecting HTC-SYNC.
@iLHaNroID said:
Hmm.. Nope! coz I thought it was necessary for conn over wifi only.
Thanks for the clarification, will do so. This is exactly what i want & better than the org sync prog IMO.

I finally got fed up trying to look threw the forums and all and contacted HTC about the Mac version of HTC Sync Manager. Here is what was said:
Dear David XXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting HTC today David; I would like to apologize for the information on HTC Sync manager for Mac’s being removed. I will be more than happy to look into that and see if I can find out for you.
The initial release of HTC Sync Manager is not compatible with Macintosh computers; however a version for Mac is planned for the near future. We do not have a exact release date just yet, but we are working on it.
I do want to thank you for contacting us today, David and if you have any more questions or concerns you can feel free to ask or check us out at www.HTC.com/support to get more tips and tricks on your phone. Thank you for being a part of the HTC community, and I hope you have a great day.
