Question: Why can Activesync not find my PDA even though I have it plugged into the computer?
Answer: Most of the time, this is due to having Advanced functionality checked on your PDA which will cause the Activesync program to not be able to see the phone. Uncheck Advanced functionality in the USB to PC settings and your PDA will be reconized.
Question: I live within the United States and am trying to get the latest ROM update to my PDA but everytime I put in my PDA's serial number, as it requests , It says its wrong and why is that?

My friend's HTC has a problem.
It is not a contract with Tmobile, so he cannot update the firmware. Everytime he turns on his phone, its always vibrates million of times because of the alarm. (some holiday or something on the calendar) We tried everything to make it stop but it doesnt stop. is there any way to stop this?? |

Hi all. Didn't see a Touch HD specific forum so posting here. Basically, since getting a Touch HD in December, I've had tons of problems and am starting to wish I hadn't bothered getting a smartphone. It's worse than my previous very old nokia in terms of being a phone, and the cool factor of it being a portable PC is outweighed by the problems that come with it being a windows PC. I bought it from mobiles.co.uk, it's on O2, it's a HTC and it run Windows. When it doesn't work, who's responsible?
In 5 months: 1. When I type the first letter of a text (starting or replying) it is deleted and has to be retyped. Texting in general has other glitches (button mapping in landscape, double-insertion of words from the suggestion list) and isn't as fast or as easy as with a fixed keyboard, plus it required more concentration. 2. alarms appear as the small bar at the bottom rather than a usefully-sized alarm name, with snooze and end buttons. Not a bug, just not particularly useful. One of the many cases of the the software being more suited to a pc monitor than a phone screen 3. Phone's sluggish. Did full backup & reinstall for recent firmware upgrade, but no change. Software often sluggish, crashes not uncommon. Feels like it doesn't have enough memory, though it never goes above 70%. 4. Calls often go straight to answer even if the phone's in my hand. Callers say it only rang once. Extended the max ringtime with operator but no improvement. Think it's related to memory/sluggishness. 5. GPS on googlemaps always puts me a few streets away 6. Today my storage card became corrupt and nothing's recognised. I can take the time and use my IT knowledge & forum searching to fight these fires one by one, but I paid for something which should just work, not need me to devote loads of my time to fixing all the time. Does anyone else feel the same way? |
