    Help Problems with sync'ing with Outlook

    I have been using MyPhoneExplorer to sync with Outlook Calendar for some months with success, but it seems, since the recent upgrade of the OS (I think), to have stopped linking to the phone. I can link using HTC Sync, but that fails to sync the Calendar (although it manages contacts etc). Any...

When I add a new contact into the list, it does not show up when I try to scroll to them, although I can search for it and find it. Indeed, when I press the Search button to carry out the...

    Default Phone App

    I recently loaded Dialer One, and for a while, when I pressed the Phone 'button' at the bottom of the standard HTC screen it offered me either the stock application, or Dialer One. Stupidly, at some point, I selected the 'use this as default' before selecting an app. Now I no longer get that...

    I am in the process of moving from an iPhone to an HTC Desire HD (possibly) and I never thought that I would see a worse calendar than that supplied by Apple. Now I know different - the native one on the Desire HD is truly awful. Can anyone suggest a replacement that at least gives me some...

    I have just bought a Desire HD, and it refuses to download from the Market. I select an app and it says 'Starting download...' and goes no further. Is it something I am doing, or is there a problem with the market? I have never managed to download anything so it could be something I am doing
