[HTC Sensation] BarryH_GEG:
The Vodaphone version will be a world phone. T-Mobile's devices are hobbled because of their funky AWS bands and the fact they don't want them to be capable of working on AT&T.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Unfortunately we, as usual, are caught in the middle. I'm on T-Mobile US and travel internationally. If I get a TMO version it won't have 850, if I get a Vodafone version it won't have 1700. Anyone seen any announcements re: ATT offering a Sensation model?
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
2G connection wise, the phone has all 4 bands, so it will work worldwide.

The issue is only with 3G. The Sensation has 900/1700/2100 bands. Most countries/carriers world wide use the 900/2100 bands. T-Mobile (US) use 1700 (for 3G) while ATT uses the 1900. So in a nutshell, get the sensation, it'll work on 2G & 3G on T-Mobile (US) while outside USA it'll work on ALL 2G networks & most 3G networks. Furthermore, roaming data charges are VERY high, so you would't even benefit from the 3G connection while roaming anyways.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Actually ATT uses both 850 and 1900 for 3G.

2G is frankly terrible. When I travel I use local SIM's so I do get the full benefit of 3G. Right now my travel plans are to countries that use 2100, so I'm ok for the time being, but I would like to have 850 3G availability for Canada, Argentina, Australia, etc. I could switch to ATT, but they only support 2100 on a few phones, so I'm better off on TMO.

I actually had a trip planned to Tokyo in April, but ended up canceling due to the events there. Getting a local SIM there is a bit complex so I was going to rent a wifi hotspot and carry it. I will consider that option for other trips as needed.

Of course, none of us gets everything we want.
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
You right, ATT does use 850 for 3G. I was under the impression that since it was used for 2G it wouldn't work for 3G too.

Nokia's N8 & N9 both have 5 Band UMTS (850/900/1700/1900/2100) that will fit your true World Wide connectivity.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Appreciate the suggestion. Being generous I'll say the N8 does have some good features, but I can't really imagine going Symbian at this point. Can't bring myself to go iPhone either, which would also provide 850/2100. It's disappointing there aren't more "world phones", but I realize that market is relatively small.
[HTC Sensation] rapid1:
From what I have heard the replacement phone will be comparable as well as free. That is also of it goes through they are all being grilled by the Senate from what I understand starting yesterday. While I don't think it is a very good idea to give a company who has been busted down (Ma Bell/At&t) once for monopolistic business practices in the same area (just land line versus cellular line) before! I guess we can just see it as an early upgrade for free, and or being released from a contract early which I guess is good to one point, and also if that's what you wanna do when or if this goes through.

As far as it goes as well as from direct information I have gathered personally that will be the case. On top of that with Cell/Smart phone development moving as fast as it does now it may end up being a positive.
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
The N9 will either have Meego or Windows Phone 7, almost no chance of it being Symbian based on some earlier pre-production info.

It just went through the FCC with SIX bands onboards (850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100)

http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/11/nokia-n9-hits-the-fcc-packs-more-bands-than-a-rubber-tree/

As much as I like Android, this is probably going to tempt me like the N900 did successfully (though it was a very short affair).
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Not much solid to go on at this point, but neither WP7 nor a sliding keyboard are appealing to me. Meego even less so. Connectivity is important, but so are numerous other factors, with the OS being near the top. I'm solid in the Android tent for now. If and when it hits the US I'll evaluate where I'm at, but it seems a real long shot for me.
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
The N900 was hacked well and truly rather fast and had fully functional Android builds. Maybe, just maybe, a sextaband slider from Nokia, running Android? Hmm.

Till then, Sensation will have to do for me, without ATAT bands.

I don't think the merger is going through, but I'm probably in the minority.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I've hacked nearly every gizmo I own, but I'm not that interested in shoehorning Android into a Nokia. At least not without some really compelling reason, and just adding 850 3G isn't that big a motivator.

Given the business friendly Feds, and TMO's finances heading south, I'm expecting the deal to go through. But I'll likely be on to another phone when it does, so I'll probably get a Sensation, unless early user reports are bad.
[HTC Sensation] kampf:
I'll be on Sprint before the ink dries on the final page if that deal actually goes through.

I'd rather own two phones, a Sprint CDMA device and a second hand GSM Android/Nokia world phone, than ever have anything to do with AT&T. Ever.
[HTC Sensation] gattech:
Take a look at the HTC Sensation Z710a specs. It is the one used for Telstra Australia. Remember the great migration of Telstra HTC T9193 HD2s to US last year?

They were the only HD2 that can work AT&T USA 3G (850MHz/1900MHZ) Bands. So the same applies to the Telstra HTC Z710a Sensation.
[HTC Sensation] antnee5:
the bell Canada version is also the z710a, I am on att and mine works great. I also had a telstra HD2 (best phone I ever had)
[HTC Sensation] tsekh501:
Don't let the AT&T/T-Mobile potential merger get into your purchase decision.

It will take months or even more than a year for FCC & FTC to review the case. If it gets approval from the authorities, it will probably take another year to sort out all the financial and organizational details. Then they would start figuring out the technical details, and they won't merge the networks just by flipping a switch. Probably do it gradually, merging a few cities at a time. We are talking about something that is at least 2 or 3 years away, and by that time your current contract will be over and the Sensation will be as dated as the G1 is today.

The European/Asian and the T-Mobile US version of the Sensation won't work with AT&T 3G or HSPA+ network. It you want one that is compatible with AT&T, get it from Bell in Canada. That would cost you USD 600+ including tax and shipping. If you are not tied to a family plan, you may find it cheaper to pay ETF to break you AT&T contract and sign a new contract with T-Mobile (AT&T's ETF is $325 Max, and it may be significantly lower depending on the length of your remaining contract. Sensation can be bought at around $150 from T-Mobile with a new contract, depending on the current deals).
[HTC Sensation] zcucurullo:
BAND Problem

T-mobile band is different from AT&T, if you could get your hands on a Rogers Sensation you would be able to use 3G on AT&T.

What i always wonder is that, could it be a way to flash the ROM of the chip that controls the Radio band MHZ (since is a hardware issue) to make it a Rogers band for use on AT&T.:rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] boeder9:
As far as I know ATT/Rogers/Fido use 850/1900, the latter mostly for 3G. The international version of the Sensation doesn't support those frequencies. Silly.

My question is, if you get into a bar brawl and break your phone in half to stab someone with it, is it covered under warranty?
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] kmdub:
Nice...

But, to answer your question. Duh! Of course it won't be covered, since that is clearly an insurance issue... Wasn't their fault you didn't use good judgement with your new "app" and poured a few too many.

[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Great, I'll try this now - I have the free version of enhanced email that was posted on here but i have problems with the push notifications - I only seem to receive emails when I've opened the app or on reboots. Hopefully this will solve it! Thanks!

EDIT: Sorry - I seem to be having trouble installing it - I get a Parse Error when I try - I'm not particularly good with these things so any help would be appreciated!

I've deleted the Email.apk from /system/app/ and pushed this to the same place. it won't install from there when I then go into it with esfile explorer or appinstaller however - I've alsoo tried to put the file on the sd card and install from there but get the same error - any advice for this?
[Desire Themes and Apps] tallgrasshawk:
I, too, am having trouble getting this installed. And yes, unknown sources is checked.
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
Can you push it again to /system/app via recovery mode? Just tested it again on my phone and it's working for me :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Recovery mode didn't work for me either unfortunately..
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
hmm weird. it works well in me. are you using aosp gingerbread? does the email icon appeared in the app menu? i have repackaged it as a flashable zip now. try flashing this via recovery.
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Hmmm, thanks, I flashed the zip - it seems to have done the same thing (pushed apk to /system/app) - the email icon doesn't appear in the app list still however and i've navigated to it via esfile explorer in system and tried installing from there but get the same parse error. I'm running Redux 1.1.1 themed.. I've no idea why it's not working!
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
i'll decode via apktool the email app from redux-themed 1.1.2 and i'll upload it later. i've tested it on redux 1.1.2 (not the themed one), oxygen 2.0.3 and cm 7.0.0 and it's working fine on me :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Thanks man, I'm going to try to reinstall Redux 1.1.2 themed now (was having trouble with it before with major lag when answering, hanging up calls), but I'm going to do a total wipe before I reinstall it - then I'll try to flash your zip in recovery again and see if that will make any difference. I'll let you know how I get on.
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Ok so I wiped, reflashed with Redux 1.1.2 themed, allowed unknown sources, flashed your zip - it didn't show in apps so I navigated to /system/app in file explorer and tried to install from there - same problem - parse error.. I don't know what else to try!
[Desire Themes and Apps] theliquid:
Sounds great, really needed such an app! Will try it soon! Hopefully it works ...
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
Can you try removing Email.apk in /system/app, then reboot the phone, connect to USB, enable USB debugging and install the apk via adb (adb install Email.apk) if there's any error? I can't seem to figure out why it doesn't work on you :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
ok I'll try this a bit later and let you know if there's any error.. thanks for your help so far..
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Ok, so I tried installing via usb and got the error

pkg: /data/local/tmp/Email.apk

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]

I've had a look on the web and it seems there's some sort of difference between the sdk for the apk compilation and the one on my phone although I start to get a bit lost here as to what I should do next, if you've any advice that would be great otherwise I'll keep looking around to try to find a solution.

EDIT: I've had a bit more of a look at it seems that the app is using the latest android version - and for some reason I'm not (or perhaps the other way around)? I'm running Redux 1.1.1 (tried with 1.1.2 also) so I'm not sure why that would be... :confused:
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
thanks for this! i lowered the minSdkVersion in AndroidManifest.xml. Haven't tried this though. Can you try if this will work for you? In case, you encounter some FC, please clear data and stop email process in Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications menu

MD5 of this file is 0f30726e764df97f5a1c3c967cd4844d
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
Great! It's now working! I deleted the system/app/ email and installed this one via adb - Thanks for your help that was really good of you.

Should I update my sdk on the phone somehow as that seems to be what the problem was?
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
nope. those are some misses in my part :o

thanks.
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
No worries, thanks for your help pal!
[Desire Themes and Apps] tallgrasshawk:
Ok, it's installed. When I set up my exchange account, still pops up that I need to allow device admin. they can wipe, etc.

??
[Desire Themes and Apps] welshyoot:
As far as I'm aware, just click 'ok' and the exchange server thinks it's secured your phone... You don't have to add any lock screen or anything. That worked for me anyway.:)
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
yups that's right. after agreeing on that popup, the email app will not present you any device policy permissions (e.g. remote wipe, password attempt count, etc.) and the phone will not really enable the device administration policy set by the exchange server as the email app thinks that it's already enabled. You can double check it in Settings -> Location & security -> Select device administrators. You shouldn't find a new device administrator on it :)
[Desire Themes and Apps] venustraphobic:
My exchange does not configure after replacing
[Desire Themes and Apps] Creampuffyness:
Hey I'm sorry to be an idiot but could you walk me through this? I'm on an Evo running CM 7.0.2.1. Installing the APK from Astro or another seems to work fine. When I try to setup my exchange I still get the error message about Security features. I removed Email.apk from /system/app, rebooted, and reinstalled with no change.

I think I need to start from scratch here but I dont know what I'm doing wrong.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Creampuffyness:
Perhaps the security policies needed would help.

-Require Encryption

-Password/Pin required

-Failed Attempts 10

-Min Length 4

-Timeout 1800 sec

-Calendar History 90 days

-Storage card encryption

I can get Touchdown to work on it just fine...
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
try removing your email account first then recreating it again after you replaced the apk
[Desire Themes and Apps] Creampuffyness:
It seems the trouble is with the initial setup on AOSP roms. If I could setup the account it all I could then disable to security. But since I cannot setup the account because it doesn't meet the strict IT security policies, I cannot get this to work. Any chance the dev who made this can come up with a way to fool the Exchange server into thinking the device can be encrypted?
[Desire Themes and Apps] minda67:
Exchange Active Sync account

On my HTC Desire I have tried the newest versions from Insertcoin, Leedroid and RCMix but fails to setup mye Exchange Active Sync account.

I get this

"Exchange Policy error

Unable to sign in to your Wxchange account because your policy settings are incompatible with those on server.

Please contact your IT team for assistanse"

They won't help me because I don't have originale software of course...

Any ideas??
[Desire Themes and Apps] Creampuffyness:
Many exchange servers require encryption (android doesn't support encryption yet) or do not allow unprovisioned devices. If your phone or the ROM you are running doesn't support it, it's a no-go on the setup. You might want to look into running Touchdown, it's expensive and a little ugly but it works.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Sauriann:
works fine with IC GS CM7 v25 :) Tnx!
[Desire Themes and Apps] Creampuffyness:
I wish my company had relaxed security settings like yours :(
[Desire Themes and Apps] psygbert:
what i did was to trick exchange that the supported policies are already active. not quite sure but i think encryption is supported only in honeycomb and not on gingerbread and below. our company does not currently enforce encryption as a policy.
[Desire Themes and Apps] Creampuffyness:
Any way to tell the exchange server that it is able to be encrypted even though it is not?

I am trying to get album art in the Xoom music app. In the music app directions is says to copy the album art picture into the subdirectory with the songs and name it 'albumart.jpg'

music\abba\gold\albumart.jpg

Has anyone else got this to work or any suggestions?

The album and songs show up in the music app but not the album art.

I have re-booted but that did not work.

I have had some issues with the cover art working as well. I downloaded "Cover Art Grabber" from the market and it downloaded and inserted the problem art.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikegraik:
Thanks for the reply. I tried "Cover Art Grabber" and another program but I could not get them to insert the cover art in to the default music app.

What I did do to get it to work was, after in put the 'albumarm.jpg' into the correct directory, I went to Settings/manage apps/ and cleared the data in the music app. After I restarted the music app it found the cover art.

Mike
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scourge1024:
There are a few apps that can do that. Do a search on ID3 and there are apps there that can insert cover art into the Xoom's media database (without having a picture file in the folder). Some of these ID3 apps can also insert covers directly into the MP3/M4A.

I've tried Cover Art Grabber, Cover Art Downloader, AudioTagger Free, MP3 Tagger (I think this can also fix foreign garbled ID3 tags), iTag, DroID3Tagger but I can't tell you which is the best as my Xoom is dead now.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTC-Gunge:
Hi Guys,

I used the free MediaMonkey last night and it worked really well. I removed all the album art info that exsisted and then used the "auto tag from the web" which found the album cover and added it in the correct format. Now all my albums show correctly :)
