hello everyone I am new to Android 4.4. I switched over from Android 4.2 on my htc One S. something that was so simple before seems to take multiple steps to achieve. I used to be able to tap a business address in my gmail and it would automatically go to maps and find the address for me. now I have to select text copy open up maps go to search paste and then enter to get my directions. is there some setting I'm missing that will enable this to work like Android 4.2?
I have the HTC One remix version stock 4.4

I want to get back for the contact person list after installed android.
Can the phone book in MS outlook can get back and restore in the android?
If not, any solution?
nobody know?
I use android on topaz only for testing,
but here's an idea :
I think you can use google apps standard edition to sync
your outlook contacts with your gmail account on your android topaz.
But it seems quite a hassle, maybe this application is a better choice.

And here's another one : blogsdna.com/6233/synchronize-gmail-outlook-contacts-with-go-contact-sync.htm
( saving it for later use, tell me if it worked )
I use Companionlink on my droid, unfortunately the standard Android doesn't come with sync software.
>Backup Outlook Contacts as comma-separated (Windows) file
>import with gmail
>sync.
Not the fastest way, but works perfect
the faster way is save all your Contacts to the sim card from MW then after run android make copy to the android Contacts list i made it like this
bye
I would suggest the following two options:
1) MyPhoneExplorer -> supports a lot of Android Phones and you can sync calendar and Contacts with a lot of Applications, i. e. Outlook and Thunderbird 3
2) Funambol -> a bit more difficult to set up, but runs perfect with outlook and, unfortunately, only with thunderbird 2. for android you have to download the beta release 9.0.0 (simply search at goole for this, one of the first results guide you to the beta on funambol website)
Cheers

Edit: Both versions have the advantage that you do not have to send your data to the web...

You may try this , just google it .
You need HTC sync and custom PC Suite .
1 pcsuite_for_android_1.5.9.108
2 HTC_Sync 2.0.40
On the stock Rogers 2.1.1 Android, I was able to install the official Facebook app, configure it and it would ask me if I wanted to synchronize my existing contacts (I would select to sync only those that were already on my phone) and everything worked rather peachy... it would auto link up my Facebook contacts with my Google/Phone contacts all by itself.
I just today upgraded to Android 2.2 (via Kies... (un)official Rogers ROM) and installed the Facebook app again and it never asked me to sync any contacts at all. I went to accounts and tried to add an account (specifically the Facebook app choice, since there is 2) and it does nothing.
I figured it was some slight incompatibility with the app, so I then tried the built-in Facebook account type with the phone - it works and syncs contacts, but it asks me to pick every single contact I want and on top of that, it doesn't seem to do a very good job of linking contacts at all.
I'm wondering, this experience I've had with 2.2, is this intended; is this the way it should be (ie, kinda crappy compared to my 2.1 experience)?
what do you mean by "so I then tried the built-in Facebook account type with the phone"? i am having problems also. i'm using the Cognition ROM which was ported from the Rogers 2.2 release, so i am sure we are in the same boat. everything i have tried hasnt worked.
Hello there ;
I have some problems with my HTC HD7 and i wish i can find a hand here
1- Bluetooth problem :
I can't receive any thing from any Bluetooth enabled Device or computer
it always says NOT SUPPORTED
Besides there is no option to send any thing from the phone
2- #hash numbers#
I can't call any hash numbers (services numbers) which is used from many purposes like knowing my credit , enabling roaming and so on.
ie: *#555# is for knowing the credit
3- Location
is not working with me and i need Google maps which is world wide, How can i get it ?
4- Other Browsers
I need other browser than IE coz i hate this Browser
5- Contacts management
- If i want to delete 90 contacts ,shall i delete them one by one ? "Mass management" .
- If i want to see the Contacts in the SIM card without copying them to the phone memory , How can i do this ?
- Some of my friends have more than one mobile phone, so i need to add these mobile phones to their contact card without adding it as a home phone or the office phone, because adding it as a home or office phone doesn't show The texting Option so i can't send them SMS to this phone no.
- How can i manage these contacts via my Computer , Backup , Edit and Synchronize them?
thanks in advance
Hi,
If you have, or get a Hotmail or Windows Live email address, set it up on your phone, then after you import your contacts to that website they will appear on your phone.
It seems a stupid way to have to do it instead of just plugging it into your computer but it does work. I took 592 contacts across that way.
For the location bit, mine came with Maps on it. I think it's Bing maps and works sort of ok but not as good as Google Maps.
Bluetooth only seems to connect to headsets. It's no use for getting info from another device. I've only had my phone a week but i haven't found a way to bluetooth a contact to another phone yet.
anyway good luck with it.
#646# works for me.
Bluetooth is indeed useless unless you have a headset.
Another browser? You'll have to buy it!
Location works fine but no Google Maps
Contact management is one of the nice things about this OS, it merges into one single place the info from Google, Hotmail and Facebook.
- hash numbers work perfectly fine for me too.
- I have seen some browsers in marketplace, I really like the SurfCube Browser, amazing and innovative design.
Some other great browsers: Browser Plus, Metro Web Browser and 7 Tab Browser.
- For your friends who have more than one mobile number, you can create multiple contacts and then link them together into one contact. This is what i did.

I've been using a Nexus 4 (and Windows Phone, prior to that) before landing on the HTC One. Beautiful phone, great hardware, and a super-fast camera! Love it.
Anyhow, my primary email is with Outlook.com. My wife has her calendar (also on Outlook.com) shared out to me. On Windows Phone, I can see her shared calendar just fine. On the Nexus 4, I can also see her shared calendar just fine. On the HTC One, however, her calendar doesn't show up anywhere. I've tried adding my account as both an EAS account *and* a Hotmail account (same as Outlook.com), but neither works as expected. Sad
To make matters worse, my "workaround" was to have her add her account to my phone, *ONLY* sync her calendar, and then turn off notifications so that I can simply "see" her calendar, but I'm not getting notifications for her stuff. Unfortunately, my phone then decided to start syncing her email as well, even though I had that option unchecked. HTC has a few bugs to work out...
Anyone figure out a solution for this???
Any thoughts?
I'm curious as to why *that* particular feature would be any different from the current Nexus 4 to the HTC One (running Android Revolution HD 10.1). I've also tested with the stock HTC One rom, but no-go...
Answering my own question here...
1) I contacted HTC support and although they were happy to open a trouble ticket, they were otherwise useless for any help.
2) I resolved this by...
- having my wife give me the .ics (iCal) address for her calendar (Outlook.com > Calendar > Share > Get Link > .iCal url)
- email that URL to me
- add her calendar to my Gmail account (which I otherwise don't use)
- (note: the url looks like webcals://cid-502443690c6aee53.calendar.live.com/calendar/private/e0f9f085...ics, but you need to change the "webcals" portion to "http" when you Add By URL)
- rename the new calendar to something sensible
- make sure my HTC One is syncing my Gmail Calendar
- open the HTC One calendar app
- choose the Accounts (Multi-Calendar) option
- select the "..." option next to the Google entry
- be sure to *tick* the box for the newly-shared calendar
Voila! The shared Outlook.com calendar is syncing to your phone without any further wackiness, and will continue to sync automagically.
Hope this helps someone else out there
Thank you sooo much

Wow that was awesome, thank you so much!
You said that the calendar was working on your nexus 4. That has the stock google calendar which you can download from the play store. This should work just fine, i think. Anyway that's the calendar app I'm using instead of the htc calendar.

Hello,
First, excuse my english, its not my native language. Thank you.
I used my HTC One with Cyanogenmod 4.2, recently there was a update to Android 4.3
After updating i lost my google apps as supposed since they are made for Android 4.2. This was my opportunity to get rid of google, so i installed K9Mail with Fdroid and imported my contacts with a .VCF file. Worked well.
I have just one mayor problem, I can't add new contacts to the phone. My phone app always want to add a new concact to my exchange account and i cant change it to anything else. I want to add new contacts to the phone itself, without any accounts like whatsapp/exchange/google...
Second problem that occurred: I can`t edit the contacts from the recently imported .VCF file, my Datamanager hang up every time when i want to add some Details.
Do you guys have an idea how I can add contacts to my phone?
Greetings Nox
