Why? What happened?
The only way you could have uninstalled it is if you have a FullUnlocked rom. Otherwise you have just unpinned it from the start menu - in which case it is in your applications list.
If you have uninstalled it, then search around for the XAP file. Or worst comes to worst, you need to reinstall the unlocked rom.

Hello all, i am leaving winmo this friday for a HTC Hero and i would like to know some things ahead of time.
1. Is ther a bing app for android. i use this every day and would like to continue.
2. how many email acct. can one have on the hero?
3. are there cab. files for android or is everything ran from the app store?
4. will pim backup work to transfer all my contacts, texts, email and so on?
5. are there any other roms to flash to to make it better, and where are they?
i hope some or all can be answered, and i hope this is not a repeat... if so i am sorry, hanx
1. For what purpose?
2. Same as WinMo... one Exchange and as many IMAP/POP3 as you want...
3. Not CABs, they're called APKs in Android, can be installed from device or PC (needs to be enabled in Settings) as well as the market
4. No
5. Modacos and Drizzys is available in the Development forum for Hero, they are custom made from HTCs latest update
Hey, thanks for the quick feed back. just what i needed to know. bing is windows mobile live search cab that give u everything in one place, movie times, weather, business and map searches, gas prices etc. is there anything like it or does google do it all as well? how is the sync feature with windows vista and xp. does android sync with your office suite like winmo does? can you sync calendar, contacts etc.?or will i have to start over with new contact client setup and calendar or something?
It would be in your best interest to set up a google account. I think it syncs your calendar and stuff with google.
Re Syncing of Hero
Yes you can sync your phone so that it gets all your contacts, calendar and emails.
I sync with Exchange to get my emails and calendar entries but use the HTC Sync program to sync contacts. I do this as for some reason I get various errors when syncing contacts through my Exchange account.
This is my first non winmo phone since the first HTC came out on orange and I was very hesitant to leave the platform, however after a week with my G2 (still waiting for T Mobile update!!) i am more than happy and doubt I will venture back unless Microsoft pulls a rabbit out of a hat (or their fingers out of theirs arses) and releases the operating system that people actually want!!
Syncing Hero with Google and Desktop Applications

The Hero comes with HTC Sync which supposedly lets you sync the phone with the Office suite, but I haven't tried that - by the time I realised it was there, I had already migrated everything over to a mixture of Google and Mozilla.
The way I make it work is by using Google contacts and calendar as the 'central database' that you sync everything with. I use Thunderbird for email and contacts, and Sunbird or Lightning for the calendar. (Lightning is an extension for Thunderbird, and Sunbird is essentially the same program but set as a standalone application). Using the GContactSync add-on with the Thunderbird address book lets it sync with Google contacts, and Sunbird/Lightning can be set up already to work with Google calendar. Ideally you actually keep two calendars in Sunbird; one for your recent appointments, one for the archive. This keeps your life off of Google's servers, and makes the synchronising faster on the phone or desktop.
This setup works well even if you have multiple computers that you all want to sync together, though if some of the computers aren't always connected, such as a laptop, then you need another step. The issue is that Sunbird/Lightning connects directly to Google calendar rather than maintaining an offline calendar which it occasionally syncs with Google. So if your connection drops or you switch off wi-fi to save laptop battery, you lose access to the calendar. The solution is another add-on called GCalDaemon which downloads the calendar from Google and then works with Sunbird/Lightning, syncing with Google when it can.
It might sound complicated, but it's not too bad really!
so many questions?

Thank steven just what i was after and i never even asked...good man!

Having left Winmo for Android are you happy with your choice? I am currently running a HD and a Hero, I was intending leaving Winmo but I am a bit disappointed with Android.
Do you feel you can do everything with Android that you could do with Winmo?
Hi guys
I have a problem with synchronizing my mails on my HD2.
I use a live.de-account for collecting all my mails from different providers - so far it works.
But then I wanted to sync those mails on my device. I was a bit suprised that the windows live program always showed up and took over the mail-setup from the inbuild-mailclient in windows mobile to itself.
The first synchronization worked but that was last week -.-.
The windows live program seems connected to the internet and my accountsettings are working (it can show my firstname) but when I want to sync it an error occured "e-mail login failed.please try it later".
I'm not so into this technique but I tried deleting and re-installing/configuring the mail setup. I downloaded the windows live software again (from market place).
I even wrote a support mail to windows but the answers was pretty much the same as in this thread.
As far as I understand the manual it's just synchronizing with outlook on my computer.
But I don't want a) Outlook and b)active-sync (= usb connection to my own computer).
I want a synchronization on the move with wlan or umts but nothing seems to work.
So actually I'm looking for a trick to configure my mail account without windows live software or some help to get it working with the windows live software.
my HD2:
unbranded original
latest official rom-version from htc ( Germany: 3.14.407.2)
Vodafone Germany
windows live software 10.7.0059.0600.1000

The thread there is correct. Which method are you really using? Do you set up hotmail as an exchange server as in the thread, or are you using the live client?
Sorry,but I'm not so into this.
Exchange Server?
In HTC Sense is a mail program and I use that.But when I want to configure a new account it automatically redirects my to windows live. I think windows live intercepts the setup and overtakes it because of the @live.de -ending. If i use other providers - everythings working fine without windows live.

There are two ways to connect to hotmail (aka live mail). The old method is to use the Live mobile, an application that allows you to access several live features. You get mails when you check mail, like POP3. The new method (I think it was released last year) is to use push mail. Configure it as it you have an exchange server, and set the parameters according to the link. New mails will immediately appear on your mobile. Both method should work. With push mail, you don't need to install the live mobile application and you don't need to explicitly check mail.
Ah.
alright,it's working...
sorry but I don't saw any connection between push mail and exchange server..
Ok,now I could deinstall windows live?
It's not necessary any more,right?

Correct. If you are setting up push mail (it uses Exchange Sync protocol so that's why you configure hotmail as exchange), then you no longer needs the Live client (unless you want other features, such as Messenger).
Hi Raizm and Alex,
OK ! The pushmail settings worked perfect for my with HD2 > Outlook > Hotmail settings. (with link settings) THANKS !! I tested this with a kind of 'Spam hotmail account' NOW i have a problem. I cannot change my spam hotmail adres to my real one. It is greyed-out in the settings ?!!! Also tried new account in windows live messenger but alas, still no change (possible) in my userID field....
Thanks very much in advance !!!
Peter
YESSSS FOUND IT, PFFFF
This is a tricky one. You have to go to the activeync !!! (Default Windows menu >> Extra)
There Menu > Options and then delete "Microsoft Exchange Items" with delete button.
THEN you can create a new Exchange account within outlook.
Thought I let you all know.
Thanks anyway
Hello,
before i will flash the WP7 image (many thanks to Nokser!) to my TG01 i want to be certain, that all my contacts and messages can be transferred to the new OS. Is there a method/program like "pimbackup" to do this without an windows live id? I don`t want to upload all my contacts to the internet!

i think a prog no exist, you need a windows live id to sync your contacts. if your contacts are as .csv you can import it really easy (but only if lower as 500 contacts)
I used thunderbird backup, when I moved my contacts to my android phone.
use live services... they are 100% secure and stable.

android yes is no problem- you can directly import the whole .cvs database from SD Card- i do it with my Samsung Galaxy Tab (and i have over 1200 contacts ).
but wp7 and Microsoft is a little speciall
Okay. By Windows Live i only can sync my contacts, not my messages, right?

jop! only your contacts
thats very disappointing! When i have a little bit time i will try it with outlook.
In ActiveSync there is an option to transfer "emails". Maybe, this also means messages. i will report.
I now syncronized my contacts with outlook. So i could put them on the TG01 WP7 Phone.To backup the short messages and transfer them to WP7 actually there's no way. In the past you could do it with Windows MyPhone but this service is gone. Now with SkyDrive it won't work.
I would also prefer a "non-cloud" solution. If someone has a solution to transfer the messages, please help me!
I think it's a shame for Microsoft, not to provide this possibility!
Hi.
On tuesday I'm receiving my first Window Phone, the Lumia 800. What is the first thing I should do with it after receiving the device.
I'm coming from android and the the first step with them devices where rooting it.
Are there something similar I should start with on tuesday with the Lumia?
Thanks in advance
Pemell
1) Run diag tool (##634# in dialer), check screen and full battery charge (must be > 1000mAh), audio. Try other tests.
2) There are no "root" for this moment, so you don't need this step.
3) Create and link your lumia to live.com account.
4) Update via Zune if there is some update.
5) Fall in love with wp7 and lumia design.
Before it even arrives, you should decide which web service you'd like to use to store your contacts (google or Live). Clean up the contacts on that account so that they'll already look good when they sync to your Lumia. If you use Outlook, then install the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail connector and it will sync your calendar/contacts from outlook to Live (again, make sure to have cleaned out Live first so that you don't get blending that you don't want).
Have fun with your Lumia. It's so nice to just hold on to.
Thanks! Really great answers.
I use google for storing contacts and calendar posts so I will clean this up before I get it, great tip. I know many of them need some updates.
As regard of the diagnosis, I read somewhere about a battery problem. Chipsaru: Is this a fact if I can't charge it with more then 1000mAh? I'll check it when it arrives.
Thanks again folks,
Pemell
With normal lumia you'll be able to charge it more than ~1200mAh.
But there are some faulty devices which has some problems with battery controller and it responds to diagnostic app value of full charge capacity less than 1000 mAh. It's known defect and nokia replaces this devices.

Does all of the Google Contacts fields synchronize properly with Windows Phone 7.5?
How about Windows Live Hotmail Contacts? I would presume that everything in the fields will synchronize properly due to the fact that it's a Microsoft controlled product.
I don't use too many fields. Just name, number, email, and address. Those seem to sync just fine.
I can't give specifics, as I started with Google and thought it was doing a good job... until I tried to migrate my calendar to Live using outlook. Had to change data files, but my contacts wouldn't just move right over. So, I figured since I have GOcontactSync that I could delete from outlook and resync. Yeah, big mistake. Google was syncing as planned and I lost a lot of data.
NOW? I use Outlook with the hotmail connector software and everything syncs seamlessly between phone, cloud, and pc.
There are some limitations in syncing with gmail. In google contacts you can set more than one mobile number for one person (phone number with badge "mobile"), but wp7 would not synchronize additional mobile numbers, only the first one. And there wouldn't be any error messages.
So be careful with gmail and check contacts with not usual fields.
What if have mobile, home, work?
Will all be synced?
Do I need to create new account or I can use existing hotmail?

m/h/w will all be synced. "other" will not be synced until you correct the category. This is what happens w/ google, I think.
Yes, you can use your existing hotmail account.
