[Q] Problems With Android 2.3 Mail System (Non Sense) - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi !
I use HD2 for the work...
I have 2 "BIG" problemswith all non-sense android 2.3 roms....
1. GAL Support !
How can I add support for GAL ?? I mean global address list ?? In WM Sense and also in Android Sense when I create a new email just presing the "TO" I can select any contact stored or search in GAL (the GAL the company I work has like 50000 contacts so sync them is not an option).
In market "Corporate Address Book" let u do that work... but is not enough since I usually add various contacts... and that sw only let u create new email with the contact u search... If u search another one it creates a totally new email.
Is there anyway to have GAL exactly as in WM Sense / Android Sense ??
2. Email SW problem with emails
Under "Quantity for Sync" u can choose between 1 day, 3 days, 1 week, 2 weeks and 1 Month. Ok but WHERE the hell is the option to choose ALL... I have never seen an email client without that option in many many time !
Anyway to add both functions in Android 2.3 ?? Anyway to install htc email client / contacts in a non sense rom ??
Really ty for all !!

Any ideas ??
This is a big problem for all that sync their exchange work accounts...
K9 does not support GAL also....
And neither of them support also a so simple task that is just adding a contact email to the "To/Copy/Hidden Copy....".
TY

Try Corporate Addressbook
I downloaded Corporate Addressbook from the Android Market and it works very well for me with my corporate exchange account. You can use it stand alone to look up GAL entries and (optionally) add them to your contacts. What is really nice (at least for me...) is that it also seems to automatically work in my email now. If I type in a contact name that is not in my own contacts, it automatically starts looking in the GAL.
Give it a try.
I am using Gingerbread from MDJ's Cyanogen 2.6.

What about a way to search emails? I cannot seem to find a way to search my inbox for emails that are on the phone. I can get the KB to pop up, but nothing happens when I type....?

Few questions of a new user

Hi!
I need help in things which I don't seem o find a solutions for.
Ok, so here are the questions:
1. Regarding bloody Hotmail and sending emails - did anybody achieve it?
In my case after sync via Windows Live Panel, or just simply writing and sending email doesn't work. It's just crazy, I see the sent emails in the Sent folder and it's even on the PC version of ive, but mails go NOWHERE! Help!
2. Did anybody of you encountered any sending email problems from other accounts!
I have two accounts, one works good, the other does not send, although settings are correct and checked 100 times.
3. All of my accounts always show loading one message but it's not there - so when I have one new email, it loads two emails but I have only one new. When I have no new mails, it loads new message but it's not there (checked in the Outlook!)
4. One more strange thing - I uninstalled the programm which was set as a shortcut in pop menu on main screen. After uninstall this bloody shortcut cannot be removed, what to do??
Please help, these things drive me crazy.
Hope it's not too much to ask.
I'm new to WM actually, I used UIQ for years..
Rudegar,
Please, help..
hi welcome to xda developers from my-symbian. it seems that its your first experience in wm phones. my best phones were p910i an p1i. earlier I did not not like wm phones but with x1i i am 90% satisfied. most of the problems on wm phones are due to its os which has been only tweaked over the years without any substantial upgrade.
regarding questions 1to 3 since i do not use hotmail or other account for sending mail ,i may not be able to answer them. if u ask in Q&A thread in general section u may get better response as hotmail is common to all platforms.
4. use file explorer and go to windows/startmenu
shortcut must be there delete it.
u may read this it might help-

i just send a test mail from my hotmail account on phone to other account. there was no problem, there was a delay but that may be due to fact that i have setting for checking mails every 5 min interval.

Deep thanks! You see I was UIQ user for years and now WM, I have to learn....
Thanks for the Menu - it was there!
Hotmail does not work although I was sending no problem mails from Hotmail on my PC to test!
Anyway thanks and please let me ask more sometimes!!
Best.

not that i'm aware of... but you can use the GMail ActiveSync option to push your email and sync your contacts and calendar with your phone (as long as you're not already using ActiveSync)...
Im using gmail activesync now and it worked great on my contacts and calander but the emails take almost 30 minutes to send and 30 minutes to receave. even if i manual hit send/receave. is there anything i can do?? i set up for direct push as email arives. is there anything else to speed this up so it works like my old blackberry?

Wait for the real thing and use Android itself, I am beta testing them and it
all work great with syncing up my mail, agenda and contacts. The only thing
were waiting on is to standby your screen, if that works then (for me) its
almost fully tradeable for Windows Mobile.
don't you know you can integrate gmail's email / contact / agenda into the Manila already?
just add an exchange source from m.google.com with your gmail account.
MOD EDIT
Moved to general discussion forum as not related to rom development

HTC HD2 Facebook integration

Just 2 questions
1. Is there a way of sync-ing your phone contacts with facebooks so it uses the contacts face book picture etc, i can do this individualy but is there a way of doing it in one big go.
2. Can you sync your facebook calander to the HTC HD2 calander?
1. Login your facebook account in Setting/Data services. It will sync your contact with facebook avatar and birthday but the names in your contact book must be the same with your facebook friend names, if not, u have to sync one by one
2. I dont think we can
Anybody know of a better facebook app out there for the HD2?? Lets face it, the one that comes out of the box is about as much use as tits on a fish.......
There is an updated version floating around

Does the integration remain after a new ROM flash? If the names have been changed etc the first time, should do I guess?

the integration info is saved in the 'notes' field of your contact. once you sync back AND associate your phone with fb they will all re sync.
The one reason syncing with fb is good: profile pictures. Most of my friends dont like me to sit there, and take a picture of them when they give me their number, so this helps.

This works for most of my contacts, but I had to do a hard reset ant almost 1/4 didn't have nothing in Notes field - so didn't associate automatically. Is there any way to make a "full resync" or something similar so I don't have to manually associate those contacts next time?
P.S. something more simple than manually adding a Note
Does anyone have problem with this facebook sync. Everytime I try to sync, my HD2 gets verry laggy until it don't respond, and I have to pull my battery. This happens when i manually select update now, or if my phone is set to automaticaly update. Its really annoying
It's smooth for me
Maybe sth related to ur rom. Try hard-reset or flash another rom
I have done hard reset a bunch of times. HTC customer support told me to install the latest ROM, and then do a hard reset. I tryed it, but with no luck. Everything else, works like a charm. I do use ROM from HTC 1.66.409.1 (76641) NOR. Maybe I should look into some custom ROM's? Any tips for a good rom? I have been searching the forum and there is so many to choose from. Can I use anyone? Or should it be one for Norway?
Do u have HSPL on your phone? If yes, try to install a couple of cook roms. Remember to do a task 29 before flashing any rom. If u have no idea about what HSPL or Taks29 is, please do take a look in the HD2 Rom development, read threads about them, and there's also a thread for noob flashing guide. It takes time but worth it.
I can suggest u a couple of cook roms I've used but it's better that u should look into the Rom threads to see which one suit ur needs, every rom is really good and fast, stable more than stock rom. I can recommend some such as CleanEX, Energy or Touch-X
there is a program called SocialSync can be found here

* Facebook super-sized profile pic --> Outlook Picture

QVGA (240x320) Portrait (want more formats? donate!)
.NET Compact Framework 3.5
i tried it on my HD2, it does work but it does take a long time to sync and transfer facebook details to your contacts (well maybe for me coz i linked like 100+ contacts)
but one thing good about this is that it edited the birthday field on my contacts on my device, and now can be used by manilaBirthday
also, if contact doesnt exist on your device, u can add friends from FB to ur contact list
question... if i login to the sense facebook without enabling it to download automatically every 2 hours, would facebook in sense still try to update by itself?
the reason here is i logged in to facebook in sense but did not enable automatic downloading yet surprisingly my phone started to access my internet. others experience the same?
does any1 know how to get the facebook sync back in action after turning it off. I disabled it temporarily, but I lost all the synced data as a result. After reactivating it, it no longer syncs (although for some reason it seems to acknowledge that the contacts have a facebook profile linked to them, but it is unable to download photos, updates etc)
Is there anyway to do it aside from a hard reset? Something I'd rather avoid
I'm using the stock ROM 3.14 (WWE)
Facebook for hd2 or hd2 for facebook?
No one has come across "snaptu"? Go to http://m.snaptu.com . there you download a app for your hd2, there is unsigned and verisigned which i dont understand the significance of it. But i lliked it. It is a JAVA app so you need to run JBlend and then snaptu app. i can do everything as on a computer except CHAT. Do you know anything better? please tell me. especially one that you can chat with.

Exchange GAL - Global Adressbook

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a soltuion to see the companies exchange global adressbook on my samsung GT-9000. The Motorola Milestone has an app call motogal.apk. So it was possible to browse and add contacts to my own. The same feature did I use on my htc legend. If you using an exchange mail account on the samsung gt-9000 you can only search the gal during creating a new mail message and then just using the found e-mail adress. Not more. I tried to use the motogal.apk, installed it, opened it, crashed it. Just the app.
Has anybody an idear? I will not using touchdown a other third party apps. thx
regards
It would be really nice if someone could included it (motoGAL, CorpGAL or anything like that) to his ROM. Or even better make a package that could be installed and running on any froyo ROM.
Thanks

Upgraded to Froyo and still disapointed by exchange

Ok so now with Froyo I feel like the synchronisation works better.
The calendar from exchange is well synced and I have all the category in my samsung
But the mail ... still the same crap than before !!!
Most of the screenshot are not displayed, the array ( copy and paste from excel) are displayed in only one column ..
If you have a tree of folder ... the display is just ridiculous !! Still the same than 2.1 !! How can they be so stupid !!!
So basically this samsung mail app is just a app for people sending sms like mail from hotmail ... no way someone can use it for business !!!
There are some improvement like the menu , the button to switch from one mailbox to another, a move folder feature ( it was such a shame in 2.1 to not have this)
Yeah I know I could pay 20$ for Touchdown and struggle to install K-9 on exchange ... but serioulsy .... is it that difficult to have a smartphone which works out of the box for the mail ?? Even this f....g Steve can do it
Can anyone tell me how it works on desire + Froyo ?? Do you have a better app that you could share ??
