[Q] Bookmarks not available on HTC HD2 - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Can any one please help me? I have restored my HTC HD2 to factury default, since then I have not been able to access my bookmarks in Opera or IE.
Is there something Ive done or better still, something Ive have not done?
Many Thanks
Marcus Romer

more info please, do you mean they have gone? did you re sync your bookmarks? cos they were wiped when you factory reset your phone.
had you chosen to sync bookmarks through wmdc? had you been using opera 10? cos that doesn't sync the same as opera9.

I had to hard reset because I could not access my favorites using IE or Opera using both standard home screen or Sense. Once the phone was back to factory settings, the favorites tab still acting dead because when I click on it nothing happened. I then sync back to my PC and again could not access the favorites.
My only option to resolve this was to download from HTC website the exact ROM allready on the phone and then flashed it to which the favorites are now accessable. I have only just done that. However if you have an answer that would be good so if it did happen again I could resolve it without flashing.
I hope all that made sense....

gotcha, and no, sorry, no reason why it shouldnt work.

htc sense won't load! HELP!

the moment i start up my hd2, it says s2u2.exe is missing or corrupted that kinda **** and my sense can't load. bootloader can still be accessed though.
it jus stays at the screen and says tap here to launch htc sense. tapped and nth happens. i know i need to get s2u2 off my phone but it's installed inside and i can't access any settings or whatsoever.
mine's not hspl coded so i can't flash any roms.
You'll have to do a hard reset.
don't listen to the guy above.
Have you tried pressing the windows key then accessing settings to remove the app?
If you can't access this way, try accessing your programs via Active Sync and try removing S2U2 that way.
Try disabling Sense and load the default... then load it back.
hmm how do i realli disable sense? active sync won't work, cause it won't get into sense.
if i can disable sense, get into the normal windows and jus factory reset everything would be good.
practically nothing realli works when i start up..anyway i can access windows thru other methods say bootloader no?
you don't need sense to access Active Sync... you can even access your programs without accessing Sense.
Just press the Windows button > Settings > Today > Items and disable the Sense and tick Windows Default
Doing a factory reset is the same as a Hard Reset so if you want to do that then you can find the tutorial on doing a hard reset easily.
Do the stuff i said first so you don't waste your time hard resetting.
Encountered the same problem as TS.
HTC sense kept reloading. I got the "Tab to load Sense" thing too.
All the buttons and icons went missing on the home tab.
I couldn't access any of the functions of my phone, not even the remove programme function.
It just showed something like "SettingsImprovement is not certified or the file is missing". Can't remember exactly what it is saying.
Had to do a hard reset in the end...
yeah i hard reset in the end too. found out that some of the hd2 tweak settings i made had it hung..nv realli touched it since..dang.
Actually, the way to solve this is as follow (DO NOT need a hard reset!).
1) Press the Windows start button.
2) Double click on the File Explorer to run the program.
3) Browse to Windows directory.
4) Find the theme item "HTC Black" and double click on that to run. This will bring up the "Today" setup screen for setting the theme and items.
5) Find the "HTC Sense" item and uncheck that.
6) Reboot.
7) Now the phone should load normally.
8) Go to Windows settings to fix the problem.
For myself, I had to go through these steps in order to get into the settings because the settings were linked to the HTC manila tab which was having the trouble to load at the first place.
Guys,
I have a similar problem.
It says "Launching HTC Sense" and nothing happens.
None of the hard keys work, the screen does not react to any press, it is just frozen.
Actyve Synch dos not work also. I am even not able to hard reset because the phone does not react anymore. It still says "Launching HTC Sense".
I have tried to remove and put back the sd card, no result.
I have hopefully backed up a recent version in my SD card.
How could I hard reset the device?
Please help
HTC Sense wont load fix
Hey guys im not too sure if this was discovered yet and im not too sure where this problem comes from but its a problem with the sd card and something that is installed it, a simple fix was to remove the sd card , mount it to your computer and examine your card, look for anything out of the ordinary such as auto run programs and move them to the trash, after deleting the trash put your sd card back into your htc hd2 and pow good as new. . . . someone else try this out and let me know if its a easy fix for u as well. . .
the hard reset, press the reset button on the back of HD2 while holding both volume up and volume down buttons. then press Vol Up to start formatting the device.
try uninstalling Cookie Home Tab & Editor and reinstalling them. that fixed my HTC sense issue
Hi,
If none of the hardware buttons work, what you guys are suggesting does not work...
What I had done is to remove the battery the whole night, after putting back the battery, the hardware buttons worked again, I have solved the problem.
Thanks anyway
HTC Sense problem
Sayborg, on your boot loader what is the number after CotullaHSPL? Is it 0x20 or 0x30?

ROM update

Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.

[Q]

Gday Guys,
Wonder if someone could help. Ive got a bit of a problem with my calendar.
HTC HD2
SENSE
WINDOWS 6.5
My calendar has completely disappeared....lol... i still get the calendar grid affect, but there are no days/months etc on the calendar...
Bizarre, is there a way i can just reload the calendar program back onto the phone, or do i have to re-flash the stock rom back onto the handset
Any help greatly accepted.
Thanks
Mark
Have you installed any apps or customisations which changes the colors of your screen?
Maybe the entries and labels are still there but invisible.

That's why i synch everything with my email and then if it messed up than i just download it . Keep it smiple

Sync problems with Broswer

I've been using the browser with cyanogen mod 9 for a while now and lately I've been getting a sync evrror message while trying to sync my bookmarks with the different browser.
I had tried to do everything in order to solve this problem, I forced closed the app,deleted cache , delete cache abd dalvik in recovery; I've evendone a full reset to CM9 and Didn't restore anything and it didn't fix the problem itself.
Yesterday I flashed cyanogenmod 10 and problem wasn't fixed. I think it has something to do with my gmail account or my computer's Chrome setting, but Im just guessing.
(I can sync my computer's Chrome bookmarks to my device chrome [although I need to keep the Sync on in order to see my bookmarks, which didn't happen when the default broswer was working correctly]).
Please help me with that.
thank you.
Please help me with that.
I have the same issue.
I have CM10 20120914.
Any ideas?
Same problem here with cm 10.1. It could be the 2 steps verification.

Does anyone have a fix anywhere?

SGS3+CWM+CM10 - n00b flashing questions

Hi all
Sorry if this has been posted before or if I'm in the wrong section. I've tried to learn as much as possible, but as a complete noob to Android, I'm finding it a tad unmanageable.
What happened:
So first I rooted my device with Odin and CWM6.4. I used CWM to make a backup of my device on the internal SD, as I have no external. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro and flashed first CM9, then the LFB modem, then CM10 and then GAPPS. I then reset my device, or whatever the option was called to delete everything, which the guide said was required.
I'm now running the CM10 released yesterday (06082012) and everything seems to be running well. However here are some questions, that I hope you can help me with:
1) I liked the touchwiz widget for the weather and clock. Can I get this back somehow?
2) I liked the swype keyboard and tried installing swiftkey3, but this does not have swype apparently. Can I somehow get swype again?
3) When I installed CM10, I had to delete everything, which meant I lost all my apps and their files. Is this standard when flashing? I would like to fiddle around and try some different roms/kernels, but it would get tiresome if I had to reinstall everything from scratch every time.
4) Since I got CM10 instead of stock, the screen seem to be generally much brighter and drains a lot more power from the battery. I've tried setting it on automatic, but it doesn't seem to adjust the screen brightness even if I try covering up the sensor with my finger. Does anyone know why? Is it because I'm using software which is under development or is there an easy fix?
5) I've tried getting it to transfer my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone, but it just doesn't seem to happen since CM10. Is there something I can try to get it working? Also before I had the option in the facebook app under app settings and could check a box here to make it sync. Now the sync option seems to be under Android homescreen --> Settings --> Accounts --> Facebook --> check to synchronize. It says it synched like 30 minutes ago, but I can't see the contacts.
Thanks a lot for any help you can provide!
Regards Casper

Lets answer your questions one by one..
1. You cannot get tw Widgets on cm10..as it uses the framework which is different from CM10..try other widgets from the market..
2.you can download swipe by going to beta.swype.com and downloading it manually..or else install slideit pro..its also provides the same functionalitty..
3. You don't need to install everything when you reflash..use titanium backup root from play store to backup Apps+data ..and restore the apparel when you flash again..
4.might be a rom issue..remember it is still in development..
5.the settings I jb are in that way..try going to Facebook app..open the contact list..scroll up and down till al the contact pictures load..check you phone contacts again..hope it work..used to work earlier in gingerbread..
Don't mind the spelling mistakes..I am typing on a phone in a moving bus
Cheers.
