now unable to unroot because my PC can't ID the device (my tBolt) which I have discussed in other forums (links prohibited here)... I'm relegated to the world of hacked ROMs for the time being.
But no matter what ROM I flash, this bug has me locked out of the ability to sync with my windows media player, i.e., I can no longer rip CDs and sync them to my tBolt (or sync any media for that matter). This is one function I really need back!!! every time I try to sync my droid... I get a message similar to... 'unable to ID device - contact manufacturer'
I have searched the forum, but can't find any advice on this problem.
thanks for looking - any help would be MUCH appreciated!
FIXED... reloaded HTC Sync Drivers on my PC and all seems good!

My name is Dubie76. I am a Blackberry hybrid creator. I come from driphter.com where I am a global moderator. I have recently decided to go with the HTC HD2 and I can say that this thing is a different animal!!! What I want to know is what is better to go with. The winmo OS or flash a custom, or flash a android OS?
Next question is why when I try to install active sync it says outlook is not my default mail client. I have office 2010 and it is set as default. Do I need active sync? I assumed I did because when I tried to install the HSPL2 unlock app, it can never connect to my device however when I look at mu computer, I can open it and browser my phone. So what's up with that?
if you want to sync contacts and calenders and files then you need activesync (only for xp)
Windows Mobile Device Center for vista and win7
i ran stock rom for the longest time. when i flashed for the 1st time, i regretted waiting so long. i always loved my phone but after flashing i think i became obsessed with it. the customization possibilities are endless and there are great chefs serving more roms that what i can digest.
Hi I hope someone can help.
On my HTC hd7, the featured apps and free track of the week is not changing.
When I first enter the marketplace, the apps listed are still the same and have been for about a month. I hope there is a fox for this bug as I can't get the free track of the week if not.
Thanks.
Can no one help? I am also not able to update my apps, getting a error saying, can,t get information and to try later. But I am about to try and fix that. I would be grateful if some one could help.
same here.However,what I facing is marketplace not fetching updates for the apps i downloaded.What I do is open zune on pc and then connect device to pc,once it is connected.Then,left it there for about 5mins,let the zune fetch the updates to your phone and disconnect device from the pc.Now,you can connect your device to the WIFI,i think you would able to see the updates.
second option is do a hard-reset to your device.
third option is use your WP7 as a secondary device or sell it.
I'm thinking that third option would b a good deal.Marketplace and the in-app browser are setting me back.
Hummmm.... I don't really want to do a hard reset but I think it will be the only opposition , the third opption is deffently looking like a good opption which is sad
Hi all ,
As the title says I have a Desire S on it's way and should be here tomorrow and I have a couple of questions .
1,
What's the best way to transfer the contacts and calendar from my current phone to the Desire S ?
Is it best to set up Google Sync on my Windows Mobile and use that to sync between both phones ? or is there a better way ?
I am currently using a HTC HD Mini .
2,
What's the best SatNav program for the Desire S , using offline maps ( Saved to memory card )
I am using TomTom at the moment on my HD Mini and it works perfectly .
It's my first Android phone and any guides / tips are most welcome.
My last few phones werea all Windows Mobile .
Thanks in advance .
Hi!
1.) Congrats
2.)The easiest way is certainly through google, Going from asus P750 I remember some programs to transfer data across platforms, but it was not very reliable (national characters lost etc...)
3.) I'm currently using iGo which I used on WM too, but sadly iGo can not be purchased normally for Android, it's a company solution only... so unless you want to .... iGo, I'd recommend Sygic or something similar...
4.) Wait for the phone to arrive to raize questions, I'm sure you'll have many
Thanks for the reply ,
It turned out to be easy to get my contacts and calendar from my HD Mini to the Desire S .
I set up a gmail account , and used ActiveSync on the HD Mini to sync to the gmail account .
When I turned on the Desire S for the first time and entered the gmail account details , it downloaded all my contacts .
Love the phone so far , I'm still finding my way around Android...
Same with me, i'll get my Desire S this Sunday. Before i use Samsung Galaxy Ace.
i've several question
1. If i get s-on, may be it not possible to root it atm. so my question how i can remove advertisement in some app? (last time i used adfree but i know it only work for rooted phone)
2. Where i can found flashing tools and firmware for this device? (last time samfirmware give me all of this for samsung)
Thanks before
1. u can't
2. look at the desire s android development forum, there is a thread with the OEM roms
For the of-line Navigation, I don't know which is best, just to avoid the included HTC Locations. I paid for a full perpetual licence, it refused to work and Route 66 refused to refund me.
However, I can certainly help you with some tips! I have done a beginner's guide on this thread...

Hello,
back in September when I updated to Mango, i was able to change settings for podcasts I subscribed to via the phone itself. This included that the phone would automatically download new episodes via Wifi without the need of the Zune Software. (see the top section of this site: http://www.wingadgetnews.com/subscribe-podcasts-windows-phone-7/ )
I am now running version 7.10.8773.98 on my phone (Custom Nextgen+ ROM) and this setting has gone missing. Did Microsoft remove this option in later versions of Windows Phone? Is there some way I can get it back? I do not want to have to boot my PC and start the Zune software to sync my podcasts, I want my phone to do this on it's own like it used to to back in October.
So, I figured this out a while ago through intensive searching and trial, but I figured I post the sollution in this thread for future reference.
all that is needed is a registry change in
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Zune\Settings
here you'll find a registry entry called "XuidLocale". For me, the value was DE-DE as I live in germany. I changed this to us-EN and the podcast settings came back.
After I reboot my phone, the value changes back to DE-DE, but the podcast settings are still accessible, so that's a good thing
I just upgraded to Tango 7.10.8773.98 (legit) as well as the .12220 firmware for my Lumia 800, and I seem to have lost these features as well. I tried searching for a solution here on the forums and this seemed to be the most relevant and helpful.
However, I can find neither the settings folder nor "XuidLocale" when going through my registries. Any help would be appreciated...
Edit: Or is this fix only for rooted/unlocked phones?
I've just upgraded to Tango and lost the ability to manage podcasts from the handset too. I thought this was a feature of low-end handsets, not my Lumia. As this is one of my primary uses of my phone it could be enough to drive me back to Android and Jellybean.

you need to be at least interop unlocked, I think.

Yeah, makes sense. I misinterpreted OP's post.
Has anyone (non-US) retained their podcast settings after updating to Tango? Perhaps particularly someone from Sweden with a Lumia device? I got the advice to simply just master reset the phone and just re-sync everything again, but I don't really want to do so if it won't amount to anything.

I wiped when I installed (Zune wouldn't put Tango on so I flashed it using the Nokia care suite - Vodafone UK PAYG version same as my Mango). I have lost my podcast management abilities - I had them in Mango.
Has anyone managed to find the fix for this for non-unlocked devices?
I was able to subscribe to podcasts before on my Lumia 800 but as soon as I installed 12220 the options has gone.
Unfortunately, this happened to me too. Couldn't subscribe to new podcast feeds on the phone (although previously-added feeds still updated). There isn't a registry editor that works with my phone either.
As over-the-air podcast syncing is one of my most-used features, I have reverted back to a pre-Tango backup (using Zune). Everything works fine now, albeit on an older OS version.
Sounds like MS added a region check to Tango to make sure you're in a region that has podcasts in the Zune store before allowing you to manage them on your phone. I hope this gets fixed
I think you are out of luck. Unless MS decides to magically bring these features back, if you don't have the ability to edit the registry, you wont be able to manage podcasts on the device
Sorry.
On Tango it worked for me too.
Now i´m an wp7.8 and there it didn´t work
Any idea?
please forgive me if this has been asked before. i have seen a few posts and been searching for 24 hours but cant get a definitive up to date answer so here goes.
i have just purchased my first windows phone the hd7 to see if its worth spending on a more expensive one.
i hacked the phone and installed HD7 ROM: Windows Phone 7.8 Deepshining v8.1 (build 8862.144) on it.
for some reason i dont get ANY notifications at all on anything except for email. this includes
1. facebook
2. me live tile
3. zune player now playing.
there is probably more but i dont know as its still new. now i need facebook pushes more than anything as i do a lot of buying / selling / trading on facebook and need to be informed the minute someone posts. i dont care if its in the facbook app or the me live tile, anything would be ok. setting up email notifications isnt an option as its a business email and need to keep it clean of facebook crap and need to know the difference between an email and a facebook update.i noticed that the HD7 ROM: Windows Phone 7.8 Deepshining v8.1 (build 8862.144) says it fixes the live tile bug. was this bug the bug i am mentioning now?
so any advice would be welcome on how to get it set up. i have linked my facebook account to my live account and tried installing / uninstalling facebook with a reboot inbetween and also tuned pushes off then on again with a reboot inbetween. i havent done a hard reset as it took me ages to add photos to my 200+ contacts and dont want to restart doing all that again.
it may sound silly but surely microsoft and facebook betrween them could have sorted something as simple as push notifications out by now. they worked perfectly on my crappy little zte blade android. kind of wish i had it back now lol.
since I haven't installed the 8.1 yet, I can only say: go for the v8.0 or dynamics (this rom in particular will do a zune update without problems to the 8862), is up to you which rom.
