Help HTC Sense issues

[kidfrankie]

Hi folks another newbie here with a question that has proberly been posted many times (Sorry in advance).

I have recently upgraded to a new htc desire hd and have to say that while i love the phone im not that impressed with some of the things i cannot do or even things that do not seem to work.

To start with i am wondering if i am the only one who is having problems with htc sense?

When i log in my phone is shown on the map but not in the correct location, In fact it is somewhere near Nigeria and i live nowhere near there lol.

I was wondering if anyone else suffers from the same problem ?

My map doesn't show up at all, and near enough everyone's htc sense is faulty in some way, they are aware of ot though and are working on it.

It's still a fairly completely new set up, I'm prepared to give it a bit of time.

Got exactly the same problem
I think its to do with the phone number format

Also connecting to htc hub is hit and miss for me

So... why didn't you try to find the answer on the forum first?? This question has been asked many times!!! Very disrespectful, and the "sorry in advance" makes it only worse!

Cheers

Thats what i love about internet forums, Very easy to sit in front of your screen and be sarcastic to newbies like me, That is some attitude you have there (Got many friends have you?).

I did try to find answers and did come accross some threads with some usefull info on but not one of the ideas from other members worked for me which is why i asked the question in the first place.

Seems to me like more than a few have a problem with the htc sense which is why i have now deleted my account and will try again at a later date.

For those of you with sensible replies i thank you.

There was nothing sarcastic about my reply...

Who's the one being sarcastic here??? A bit hypocritical isn't it?
In my opinion the only person here with an attitude was you for not doing any effort. Others I'd love to help.

The site isn't fully operational yet... That's mentioned plenty of times before!

Cheerios

Cut him some slack, Kroket, asking a question in a public forum is perfectly acceptable regardless of how many times its been asked before. Im struggling to understand why you reacted so harshly to be honest, let it go.

Because in my opinion it's rude wanting stuff without doing any effort... Maybe it's because I'm from an older generation.

Anyway I've let it go now ;-)

Cheers

 

[HTCWozz]

Haha, you try and preach on sarcasm and hypocrisy, then you come back with that gem.

Well, the majority of people would consider your response rude, aggressive and very unecassary. Im not as young as you seem to think but I thought people from the "older generation" were kind and respectful. Obviously not.

I am having the same problem as well. lol I find this bickering comically entertaining.

 

[HTCWozz]

Is that a horse? Looks like a horsebear or something.

Anyway, my moneys on the girl.

No offence intended btw, I was just looking to make light of the situation.

I have the same problem.
All it shows is that "Your phone is performing initial sync and will take time blah blah blah."
It has not changed ever since. I dont know how to fix this problem.

All works for me.

Make sure you've set up your location settings correctly, gps on, pref on a WiFi network etc when you locate your phone.

Bit of patience is the key.

I must say, however that it tends to locate on my isp position over my gps, which is not true location when in office due to where server is located (bout 1/4 mile away).

Will leave phone at home tomorrow and check from office pc.

If it's inside and can't get a GPS signal (it does say it needs a clear view of the sky), it will use something called Cell Site Triangulation to track the phone which is never as accurate as GPS.

Sorry but it uses my WiFi isp whilst connected over the mobile cell triangulation and the location settings appear to confirm this

Could be right, HTCSense doesn't work for me, so I was testing with ES Security Manager which appears to use Cell site. I just presumed they were the same.

Ive posted a reply on a HTC forum this is a reply I got from HTC customer services:


"HTC can confirm that HTC Sense.com is currently in development for use in a near future. Specific device variants, including regional or national variations that will have access have not yet been confirmed. Once more detailed information is available on the release date and which of the devices will use this feature then a more formal announcement will be made.
We recommend to follow us in Twitter for instant notifications at http://twitter.com/htc_eu"

Make of that what you will...but seeing as it's one of the key selling point for an otherwise excellent phone, it's dissapointing.

I've got it working. Read my comment on the following thread:

[kidfrankie]

Well i have tried lots of suggestions (All appreciated by the way) but i still cannot get this to work, Worst of all i deleted the account from the website and my phone then re registered and now i cannot log back in.

I have now contacted them with a rather short but sharp email although i doubt anything will come of it to be honest.

I guess it will be a case of wait and see then.
