[Q] - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

no need to flash anything, just hard reset it. (after backing up)

I don't take risks with my calendar
That's why i synch everything with my email and then if it messed up than i just download it . Keep it smiple

[Q] Bookmarks not available on HTC HD2

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.

[Q] Worldclock and alarm settings not working

I updated my HD2 to ROM 3.14 and I put back my (SPB) backup which seemed to be working fine but I noticed I can not tick for the world clock and alarm settings in the main screen. Weather and agenda can be ticked but on the lock and alarm settings nothing is happening. Anyone got a clue ?

I suspect you did a full backup and restored your programs, yes? If you did that, you would be writing old registry values to a new registry that was created when you flashed the new ROM. I have heard that this can cause quite a few problems, so I have not tried it myself.
If you did not do a full backup, then I am not quite sure where your problem could be coming from.
I have the same problem
I did restore a back up with PPCPimBackup, but i don't believe this will even touch the registry, anybody know different??
or which registry key would apply to fix this.
Many Thanks

It all depends upon the type of backup you chose. Is not one of the options of SPB Backup to backup and restore the registry? Also, if you restored programs, SPB had to have written values to the registry and also perhaps overwritten some files needed in the new ROM. (Have you ever tried to run a program on your computer that has not been installed?)
Check out this link for a related discussion on this matter.
Of course, the ultimate test is to reflash your phone, and try out the functions to see if they work before you use PCB Backup. If the functions work properly, then you have isolated the culprit!
Anyway, I hope you two can find a solution to your common problem. If you do, please let us know the solution. Thanks.
Hi Thanks for advise,
Do a hard set and the time and alarm tabs are now working.
so started reinstalled the apps i wanted, decided it might (Ha Ha) be an idea to test the phone are each one was installed?? don't laugh.
anyway found the problem was caused by Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.
uninstalled it and the tabs worked again.
i think the is a moral here somewhere
Many thanks

Wow, glad you found your way out of that mess. My head is all messed up because of a case of bronchitis. I should have suggested a hard reset, instead of reflashing.
Anyway, it is nice that you are back among the happy owners.
I didn't update cause I got my phone (thk god for insurance!) with 3.14 ROM. I did the usual home screen tweaks and installed a few of the standard apps (not Vovichek_Jamrecords). Now my world clock won't open. I actually don't know if it opened before I did the tweaks. Anyway, I don't want to do a hard reset, as I just put some time in setting up everything. What can I do? Is there a particular registry entry to check? Anything else?
Thx a lot in advance!

[Q] FriendStream not working

Is anyone on a GB ROM having trouble with FriendStream not working? the widget works just fine, but when I open the app, it always says "loading" the eventually goes to "no updates" I've tried re-installing, removing the account and adding it back, etc numerous times but still no luck. Any help or suggestions would really be appreciated. Thanks
I have the same problem and can't figure it out...can anyone help? I just updated to Bamf 2.1 and have FB synced up through HTC Sense. Widget works fine but when I click the arrow on friendstream, just says no recent updates and all other tabs are blank as well
Did you guys use titanium after flashing 2.1? my friendstream kept FC'ing when i restored everything. Try doing another flash of 2.1 (make sure to wipe everything first). enter your friendstream login manually.

I used titanium only to restore some apps...no system data. but it still didnt work. i even tried uninstalling friend stream and pulling the apk from another rom to see if that would work but still no luck. i've tried pretty much everything.
I did use Titanium but also did not restore data, just apps. and friendstream was not one of them. I dont have time to reflash and setup my homescreens (takes 3 hrs) and its not worth my time for this one app to work, i guess i can just use the fb app for live feed and friendstream for the widget. HTC you suck!

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.

[Q] Rooted HTC One has Gallery, Ringtones and Sync problems

I recently bought an HTC One that has been rooted and is running Android 4.3. Overall the phone seems to work properly but there are three frustrating things that I am struggling with (so far):
1) The photo gallery doesn't work - no images are displayed in the gallery even though they are saved in the phone's file system. Can't make new galleries. - This is not critical, I found a third party app that works, but it might be related to the other problems.
2) There are no sounds listed in the Ringtones/Notification/Alarm area and no ability to add any (+ is disabled). The default sounds worked until I tried to install a third party ringtone. Most of the apps crashed, but one app did say it installed the ringtone. Now I have no ringtone at all. Can't find the default 'cause it never showed and if a new one installed it is nowhere to be found, but I have no ringtone anymore. Almost as if the old default got unsuccessfully overwritten.
3) Never got any sync apps to work. HTC Sync Manager fails when trying to install drivers on my computer from the phone. I've tried all of the suggestions that I found regarding that issue.
I am a total noob on Android OS but know my way around Windows pretty well and Linux moderately. If it were a Windows or Linux computer I would think there is a path or permissions setting that is off, but I know nothing about phone OS. I don't want to become a Droid expert or learn the ins and outs of rooting or whatever. I just want a phone that works. I can find my way around the file system. Maybe I need to put it back to original OS? I have seen several articles on that and can probably handle it if I have to, but would rather get the current installation working properly. Any advise you can give is appreciated.
Mike

Thanks for the response. I am reading articles and watching videos on how to do this. One question that I don't see answered is will reverting back to stock affect my carrier service? I am currently using Straight Talk rather than AT&T.
Thanks
SIM unlock is not effected by flashing a ROM. RUU or custom.
