When I was using ported Android on my HD2 (HTC Desire HD), there was an option for company directory which allowed me to find contact details of people within my company.
I'm using Rocket ROM and I can't find this option/it won't pop-up automatically as it did on my HD2. I'm pretty sure also when i was on stock ROM i couldn't find it. Is it actually available in the Microsoft Exchange features that are built-in the Note?
Chose contacts and hold options button until online search appears on the top of page;-)

I have done it, the Search indeed pops-up at the top, i type in a name i want to find in the company directory, underneath there's a button 'online search', i click on it, searches but nothing comes out? I tested it with names i know we have in the company directory on our server but no joy...
Im on stock rom and my exchange contact works.
I am using this functionality since I learned it and it works perfect. May be there is a problem with your settings or server...

Maybe you didnt select contacts to sync on exchange?

That what I was gonna say. Make sure contact is checked to sync.
Brilliant find.

My contacts are indeed checked to synch with my exchange server, so no idea why my 'online search' doesn't work as suggested in a previous reply? Could it be because i have a custom ROM (Rocket Rom) or Kerner (Abyssnote 3.4)?

Can't seem to find an answer to this. I had to get a replacement DHD (1st one had a very loose camera) and really wanted to have a fresh start with the new phone - no apps, etc. Since I had the backup thing checked on the 1st phone, the 2nd phone reloaded all the apps from the 1st phone. I've tried the various resets (with backup turned off), but nothing gets me back to a blank, clean phone.
Keep in mind that I'm not talking about the Contacts or Gmail being pulled in (that's fine) - I just don't want the apps & settings from the 1st phone. Uninstalling the apps doesn't quite get me to a clean install. Anyone know of a way to delete/turn off that backup that's sitting in the Google cloud?
What are you running? 2.1 or 2.2

The stock 2.2 rom from DHD
I've had the same problem, and as far I know there is no way to do it. There is a simple workaround, but you will have to disable backup all together:
1. Reset your device,
2. When first time setup will come on, set up your DHD BUT dont enter Gmail settings (for now).
3. Once done go into 'Settings', then 'Privacy' and UNCHECK box next to 'Back up my settings' and 'Automatic restore'.
4. Once done, set up your Gmail account (either manually or starting 'Setup' from All apps).
This seems to be the only way for now, and to be honest I'm quite shocked there is no easy way to manage backups from a pc/phone.
PS: I hope there is a better way - if somebody know one, then please share it with us.
You could also just sign in with a new google account.

You could, but most of us would like to keep the "old" one (for obvious reasons).
There are 2 ways to do it. The reason why it reload all the apps is becoz Ur gmail ID stores Ur download list for the market.
1. When u hard rest don't sign in to gmail. Let the setup finish. Once that's done open market place, it will ask u to sign in. As soon as u complete the sign in go to downloads. There u will c ur apps installed list, which will start to download automaticly. Click on each one and cancel the installation. There, ur list is clean now. U don't really need to do a hard rest after this but should do just Incase.
2. Goto market then to downloads and uninstall every thing and hard rest and ur back to a clean phone.
as I had the same issue, The first method worked for me.

Same thing has been bugging me as well!!
i've posted a question on googles help forum,
See if that get any suggestions...
any real answer to this yet or is there some type of pc/phone management for this??
It should ask for restoring from Google account while setting up the phone.
Just after the location server setting, I think.
Then just uncheck it.

How to get htcsense.com working on your device.
First, sign up to htcsense.com. Use Desire HD as your device. Go through the process until it says sign in with your phone. I had to do this via a PC.
Flash this package:
http://www.mediafire.com/?v6738zc4owqptt8
Go to settings, accounts and sync and choose to add an account. Choose htc sense.
Log in with correct credentials and info.
Thats it!
Things that work:
Text forwarding
GPS location
Remote ring
Remote lock
Things that do not yet work:
Remote wipe
forward calls

What does the package do in order to make it work. And why do we have to do this, I thought this was a feature that should be working without jumping through hoops.

Easily answered:
Unzip the package.
As for the feature, give it a shot. You will find it missing.
This is my first HTC Android device - what is htcsense.com? Also, do I use cwm to flash this to the phone?
Edit: NM - got it installed and working - thanks OP!
Thanks alot man. Been looking forward to this. Seems it should have been released with it working out of the box....sad that you even HAD to fix it...
Wow! Only locations app/widget to be resolved now to get full functionality.
didn't see in your does and does not work list, but does this work for HTC Hub for wallpapers, scenes and themes? I clicked "Get More" and it just sits and a screen with a spinner.
Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong with this. Downloaded and flashed it a more than once. The app shows up under system/app checked via root explorer, but its not in my app list and when I try to click on the MyHTC.apk, it says installation not complete. Any suggestions?

Same here
I get no Hub icon widget, but when i go to add more skins etc. I get the 'get more' option which then connects me to htc hub to download. Sad thing that it just sits on loading and nothing ever appears
That was an inadvertent feature/side effect.
Scenes and skins are no bueno, but sound packs , ringtones, notifications, and widgets work.
Will the features be added

This isn't the Desire Z.
Follow the directions or it will not work.
Also, unlike the Desire Z, which has separate apps for each hub function, ours are integrated.
Got it working and I'm signed in. It was just throwing me off that there was no app in the app drawer. Thanks for letting ne know not to look for it.

Hi,
I guess this might be a common problem faced by a lot of people. Syncing with HTC sense and locating phone on map and other features.
This is not my solution but read it somewhere on some forum. So the credits to that user.
Didn't find any info on this issue here so posting, If useless, i request the mods to delete it.
1. Delete the HTC Sense account from your Phone and delete the HTCsense.com account by going to the website.
2. Now register a new account on the website. Follow the instructions and verify your email. Now you'll be at the screen which says login through the phone.
3. Now go to HTC Hub and it will ask you to sign-in or create a new account. Select sign-in and sign in with the id you registered on the website.
4. It will ask for a few confirmations, click on Yes.
5. Now website on PC will move forward to take you to the dashboard and display the message that Initial sync is being performed. Let it complete.
6. Once sync is complete you can see your phone on the map. (You might need to refresh it).
Screenshots attached.
Credits to the original finder( whoever he is)
The initial sync takes ages, never finish. How long did it take on your initial sync.
It does take a long time. Mine took about >30 mins. Just wait a while and then try refreshi.g the sense site on pc.
I set mine up more than a month ago. Logged in today and it's still performing the initial sync. I'm gone try it again.

You can try it again. Even i had set it up a month ago but that didn't work out. I tried it again by above method and it worked.

Probably WIFI cannot be used for sync. Try turn 3G data connection on.
I don't have a lot contacts in my phone, But it did take a really long time. Even worse, after the initial sync, I can only use the phone finder feature from htcsense.com. There is no way I can browse my contact list and manage sms on htcsense.com. It sucks. I assume IS is not well supported on htcsense.com
I used to have an OG Droid and got the Bionic on release date. I have searched, and searched and found nothing on this topic anywhere on the internet (which I find odd). Is there a reason the "auto refresh" feature for twitter does not show up on the bionic?
Also is there another app, or does the built-in blur twitter use push notifications?
TIA
I believe it is the last reason you stated. Go to settings>accounts>twitter. Check the menus in there. There is also a place in settings that lists social status update settings. Let me look quick and I'll update.
Go into settings>battery and data manager>data services?(bottom one)>social applications. Check to see if push is enabled.

Is that only for the built-in BLUR social messaging (I knew the setting was there, but wasn't sure if it only applied to BLUR apps)? If so I cannot see any setting in the BLUR twitter account to receive notifications for tweets, is there one?
Since this phone has a native twitter client built in, I don't think you can get push from the market app - similar to FB.
My advice? Download tweetcaster. Problem solved and better app.

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me because the "social networking" application is pretty terrible/featureless. Tweetcaster has push notifications?
edit: Also I was on Liberty, not stock and the option still wasn't there so maybe it is something Motorola did inside of their source. I might look around at it today and see if I can find the culprit for this.
edit2:
reddit.com/r/Android/comments/j6z4p/anyone_else_notice_automatic_refresh_missing_in/
It seems this issue may not be tied to Motorola, but instead the official twitter app. However I have looked at the other twitter apps and do not see push notifications (or c2dm) mentioned anywhere.
Tweetcaster has push.

Interesting as it would not appear so by looking at the settings since the settings show different refresh times, and no option for push/c2dm. Is tweetdeck also this way?
edit: Tweetcaster definitely does not have push/c2dm messaging.
Bump. Does anyone have any idea? And if tweetcaster has push notifications how do you enable them?

Hi all. I upgraded to an HTC One and I need to get my Notes (over 200) to my new phone.
I have the regular "Notes" app that came with a stock 2.3.6 rom I upgraded it too, but I remember the old iterations also having that exact same "Notes" app. I was exporting them one by one to my PC. But figured there should be a better way. I know most backup programs simply don't backup notes.
I also know there's a way to do it via ES-File Explorer with root access, which my phone has. But I don't know what's next. I tried to search the forums and could find much of help.
Thank you very much in advance.

I'm not kidding and these are the proper forums. Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting. The phone I need to save my notes from is a Samsung Galaxy S i9000b. What other forums should I be looking in, androidforums?
Unhelpful and plain jerky people like you are the only problem about being a newbie anywhere. It drives potentially valuable users away from nice and healthy online communities. Seen it quite a bit elsewhere.
Can some moderator or kind user have the amiability to at least point me in the direction where I could fool myself with a vague hope of getting any help, please?
I wouldn't be asking if I could on my own.

Thank you very much for your reply. I've been using Titanium Backup for quite a while as well, but mostly for uninstalling unneeded apps. I don't think the new Notes app is compatible with the old one, so I don't know of how much use would force-copying program's memory file (looks like a single one, unless I don't even know where to look) with Titanium Bk be.
I was thinking of maybe an app that converts those notes to some other or more usable format. Even better if it upgrades them to some other Notes program file. Uploading those notes online wherever could also work. Or perhaps a way to manage those from Kies. If I knew it would had come to this, I would had used any note app from the very beginning...

The copying the notes part is the one I'm trying to avoid. I did downloaded Colornote and it does looks really sweet.
But I checked and I have 211 notes to copy and would hate to have to do it one by one. So far, the best I've got is a smm file from Kies with all my notes in it. However, I haven't been able to find a single way to open this file in Windows, change its extension or how to export it to any app in Android.

Okay, I digged around settings and stuff for a bit, and under Settings -> Wireles and Network -> Synchronise there is an option to create a profile to sync memos (assumingly the stock memo app obviously). Haven't found this feature until now, so you could try play around with it?

Hey, that actually did helped! Didn't found that option you are telling me about, but found a way to Sync the Notes in the phone with those in Outlook via Samsung Kies (using latest Kies version, 2.5.3.13043_14).
Once that is done, it's pretty much problem solved.
What would come next is to put them online (can be done with Google or several other apps; I used Evernote, as my HTC came with it) and download them to the new phone. Anyone else needing additional details now, in a couple months, or a few years from now, please feel free to send me a PM.
