[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Quincey113:
Ive been a committed HTC and WM user for a long time now, so latest upgrade i maintained tradition and went HTC HD 7.

At the minute im not sure it was the right one :confused:

Lovely fluid interface and fast. But its just not 'easy'..... or something..... I cant put my finger on it. lol

So can some convinced users help me here/ fill me in (and in the process enlighten other newbies).

1/ Battery meter. Only seem to have it when locked. How can i get that into a more prominent place or have it appearing all the time?

2/ No Opera for WM7 :( Any other browser alternatives out there for us??

3/ Any way for me to get my SPB backups from touch pro 2 onto this thing???

4/ Recommendations for the absolute BEST backup solution

5/ Other advice for porting contacts from another phone

Thats some of my first thoughts- only got the phone yesterday.

In general as well id really welcome recommended app's to help make this powerful piece of kit into a really useful and worthwhile one.

Thanks in advance for any feedback
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonOmnia:
1) you can simply swipe down where the battery meter is ont the tiles page.

2) Windows Phone 7 is a new OS, hence not alot of Apps currently, give it time, according to this quote on WPCentral "With regards to bringing Opera Mobile to the Windows Phone 7 platform, Norem states that the company is continuously evaluating that option." so you never know.

3) Are we talking contacts? you can back them up in PIMBackup, and expert the CSV file (I think) to a google account, and then synch that account with your windows phone 7!

4) ZUNE? when you update your phone, im pretty sure it makes a backup onto your pc/laptop

5) See post 3!

Hope that helps. :)
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbonics:
1. Just tap the top of the screen, and the battery, wifi, cell connection all pop down. There is currently no way (that I know of) to display it permanently.

2. There are other browsers out there, but they're all built on top of IE. Mango will introduce IE9. IE9 is pretty nice.

3. It's a whole new OS, with very little in common with it's WM predecessors. You couldn't even use Microsoft MyPhone backups.

4. Zune.

5. I would import them into your live (msn, hotmail, live) account over gmail. Personal preference.

Apps:

Amazon Kindle

Amazon.com

Break.com videos

DailyMotion

Espn ScoreCenter

Facebook

Flixter

FM Radio

MSNBC News

The Daily Show

The Onion 7

XDA-Developers

While the app list isn't huge, there's over 15,000 on the marketplace and growing.

If you've not updated your phone to NoDo, do yourself a favor and install Zune. It'll backup your phone prior to updating as well.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audio:
I'll contradict Jimbonics above by saying i'd recommend using gmail over hotmail to backup your contacts.

Only reason is i never managed to sync my phone contacts (which were imported from my old sim) to my Hotmail/Live account, which meant when i reflashed the phone i lost them all. One of my friends has a similar problem and is also unable to backup his contacts he has on his phone to hotmail.

Since i added them all to my Gmail account though everything has been fine. I can add new ones on Gmail and they sync up to my phone, or I can add new contacts on my phone and they sync up to gmail. I haven't heard of anyone else (yet?) having problems with Gmail Sync's either.

I looked thru here and looked for how to install guides but nothing came up on how to actually install these themes? I seen some just said flash it like any normal rom, so I'm guessing you goto recovery and do it update.zip style? Correct? Thanks in advance
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinchenzop:
Most of the time, themes are not in the form of update.zip or pc36ing.zips....

Download whichever theme you want (make sure it's for your current version of cm7) and boot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik and flash the theme from your recovery and reboot
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trexc832:
it installed good it loads but as soon as i try and slide to unlock the phone it reboots help please
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ajairola:
It sounds like the android welcome app is corrupted, this happened to me before and the easiest way to fix it is to download the 351 update from the Dell OTA Server (http://mobileupdate.dell.com/PackageProductionLocations/Streak_351_15609_00.pkg) to your sd card using your computer (rename it update.pkg) and boot into Recovery Mode(vol dwn + vol up + pwr at the same time) and select upgrade via update.pkg. That should fix the corruption and make your phone run properly.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trexc832:
well when i take the sim card out of my streak it works no problem it only seems to not work when the sim is in it
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueCrystal:
Perhaps your sim is corrupted?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trexc832:
it works in other phones but not the streak
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eSZee:
Same thing happened to me after trying to install a theme. Phone would soft reboot when I touched the screen. Had to clear all caches and do a factory restore followed by nandroid restore.

Posted with StreakZilla, using XDA App.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] besony:
Some more problems with the 351!

Yes,

Even I have had the "lock-unlock-sorry the fone has freezed" thingie!

^ but, its random!

I flashed and did factory resets!

In addition to that I also have issue with the market (which is driving me mad!)

the market just does not show the sideloaded apps!!

TRied clearing cahce, clearing data, and all sorts (as much as I can do with unrooted streak)

Please suggest something here!

Can we go back to 318?

Please give me something! :confused::(

Thanks,

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
well, yeah, if you bought a wifi only version, what exactly did you think was going to happen?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Smartphoner:
:) ofcourse, what about the 3g version, do u have any idea if it could make gsm calls?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] n7of9:
of course it can make calls...just put a sim card in it

http://www.htc.com/www/product/flyer/specification.html

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Smartphoner:
yeah sure i read that, but could that be only for using it for data (mobile internet) through the network, coz i read some reviews saying it only supports voip

sorry for bothering, but making sure b4 buying it :)

Just tried to install a dialer on my Flyer. I am not able to install Dialer One. It is obviously set to be not compatible.

I don't have the Flyer yet, but was considering it as my next device.

But now that you are reporting no GSM phone feature, I am shocked ! :eek:

Most all major reviews that gave specs said it had quad band GSM !

I am :eek::eek::eek:

Well, I am defintely not getting this device !
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] The Jones:
Not flaming or anything like that, just curious. Why would you want your tablet to be a phone too?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foxmeister:
As someone who has an original 7" Galaxy Tab, I can say that whilst I don't use the voice calls often, I've definitely found it very useful from time to time. I don't see why we should put up with what is essentially an artificial restriction.

Why people keep asking these things is really something

there's a thread that people even willing to pay for US galaxy tab to be able to call with that thing

there's some people who prefer all in one device instead of bringing 1 tablet and 1 phone separately, especially with bluetooth device so common now

I'm thinking of changing my tab to flyer when i learned that flyer can make calls, but after hearing this, i'm glad i bought my tab much earlier ^^
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Rabia:
i have my galaxy tab, and as long as HTC wont make calls am sticking to my galaxy tab, i don't know if HTC think they can go head to head with ipad and think they will have the upper hand, am HTC loyal but of course if ipad and flyer are booth useless "feature wise" then i will go to ipad
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] jadesse:
I found this thread to be very amusing. The Flyer is a Tablet, if you want to make calles then use your phone. To my knowledge none of the tablets that are even equipped with cellular data make phone calls. Not even the ipad makes phone calls.

The old HTC Advantage which is more a netbook did make phone calls. However you had to use a headset
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Yes, I have to agree here. I don't need my tablet to be a phone. In a pinch, I can make a call via Skype. A tablet will never make me shed the convenience of a smartphone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
While I admit that I wouldn't mind the functionality (I have a backup line SIM card) it's in no way a deal breaker. As many said tablets in general don't have this functionality. The only reason the Tab had it originally (from what I read at the time) was to fulfill the compatibility requirements for the Android Market.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] EAlvarado:
Good day to everyone.

I still using the Advantage, Using a Jabra BT 8010 Headset. I found it very usefull, to carry just one device. :):)

I'm looking for a new device to substitute my old Advantage, as well as it did it, make phone call, take handwriting notes, read e-mail, read books, watch some videos and play music... Including making some editing in my office files (Word, excel, power point).

As you said it is more like a netbook, but for me and I think, for other users, the ability to do all with one device, is very usefull... :confused:

I really would appreciate if some one could put the phone in the flyer...

I found the flyer a best option that the galaxy tab (that can make phone calls). :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
Can someone try to pair a bluetooth headset on the 3G model and see if it pairs in hands free profile or just A2DP profile?

This can tell us if the phone functionally is hidden somewhere and might be enabled somehow.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] solsearch:
Not really as headset/handsfree profiles can still be used for VOIP functionality and as such are likely to be included.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KuriKai:
If you go to "settings" > "manage applications" > "all" you can see "dialer"

don't know if that is part of phone calling or not

edit: you can also see "phone" in that list
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] foxmeister:
If that were true, *all* of the Tabs sold in North America would have shipped with phone functionality, as opposed to *none* of them! ;)

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KuriKai:
Seems like the "dialer" and "phone" apk's in the flyermight just be emtpy apk's

Anyone got the balls to install this phone.apk onto their flyer?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=539752

"eFile" found in the app store looks like it can install the apk. but says "phone.apk" is a system program are you sure you want to replace?

I can only get voip voipbuster to work with outgoing calls, not incoming, eventhough I have a voip phonenr. Still, it's something.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
That is exactly my question. if the handsfree profile exist it will be possible to us a BT headset and a VOIP app like cSIPSimple to make calls and not use the microphone on the flyer itself.

Can anyone try to pair a BT headset with the flyer and see what profile it pairs in?

Also in the gingerbread built in VOIP function available on the flyer?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] #G#:
disappointed..

having a galaxy tab which.is my phone too with bt earphones I find this missing feature really bad......

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] fyhninfo:
Got a mail from HTC Norway, saying there won't be a call function on the Flyer... I was really hoping they would upgrade that function with gingerbread, I also have a Desire, but was planning to use that as a backup kind of thing and if the Flyer was to big to bring along...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WizardX:
This doesn't work for my flyer. Any other suggestions?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WizardX:
It pairs in media audio mode.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
Bummer this means that even with voip apps the mic used will be the one in the device versus the one on the BT headset.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hoss_n2:
does it has a built in microphone ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mikecoffee:
Yes, well it records audio, and you can Skype and qik.....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] KuriKai:
Yeah, it has an inbuilt microphone
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kcchen:
Wired headphones with a generic inline mic works also... Haven't tried headers with online controls for the iPhone.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WizardX:
I found out the following:

When using skype on the flyer, you get the media audio to your bluetooth headset, but nor its microphone nor its hangup button doesnt work.

So it's really configured as a a2dp stereo stream.

Guess this has to be corrected in the bluetooth stack which eventually will and can be tweaked in a custom rom. Any news yet?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WizardX:
For the followers:

I installed Dialer One 1.3 apk from http://code.google.com/p/dialerone/downloads/detail?name=DialerOne_1.3.apk&can=2&q=. Unfortunately I was not able to make a phone call.

Guess that they did more then just hiding the dialer.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] hoss_n2:
calling can't be enable by installing only a dialer it need radio + firmware + kernel support it is not that easy
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] WizardX:
Thats what I already thought. Let's wait for our hacking friends to create custom roms. Which might have calling enabled :)

Yeah man,it's unfortunate that the flyer unable to make voice calls.....if it does it's the perfect tablet on the market. But i really enjoy the awesome tablet now.Mine's is the 3G + Wifi 32GB and also i got a multi sim card under the same account to use voice calls on my other phone for just extra $5/mth.Settle all fuss in making calls. But still it would be great if there's an update near future which support the voice calling function.

GSM Voice Call Functionabilities

I love this device! And really would love to buy one, but it is a shame that there is no GSM voice call functionabilities.

So any updates on unlocking or enabling the GSM voice call functionabilities? :confused:
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] cbanbury:
Hacked Dialer App?

I've had a look at the Flyer in pissy world today & it defiantly supports SMS so there must

be a GSM module or some network coverage for that to work.

If that's the case HTC need to be shot at for refusing phone functionality as a software limitation. Would it be possible to write a dialer from the sense SDK?

[Aside] To those who say a tablet is impractical as a phone buy a bluetooth tongle and some

skate jeans...with real pockets! :P...just sayin
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Bashar .:
i was this '' close to buy the flyer , the GSM calls becomes handy sometimes i used it many times on my old Galaxy Tab although i do had a mobile with me too

atleast here u can sms/mms compared to 3G iPad :P , although some egyptian software developer from iPhoneIslam.com had made ipad to make voice calls recently! http://arabcrunch.com/2011/05/iphoneislam-enables-phone-and-facetime-functionality-on-the-ipad.html
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
Sad but truth

Good to know

1. 3G means not that this Flyer model has a phone include. Normally this means only data over the gsm network.

2. Therefore the Flyer needs functions and apps like 'dialer.apk' or 'phone.apk' because this apps has also the data functions for the 3G included.

3. Therefore you also can buy SIM cards with only data functionality.

==> You can send and receive sms, mms, use the internet, have skype etc. but no calls.

Hope

The best thing what here can happens, is that the gsm hardware is in the Flyer and only the system APIs are missing. Then we only need to root the Flyer :eek: and then we can install the missing APIs (maybe).

But, I think you have to live with an Flyer without phone :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doublecheese:
Galaxy Tab also has a regular video call as well as a voice call.

HTC was advertising this tablet as able to make video calls too, some months ago if you remember .

The only thing we can do right now, is hoping for a root .....

Then we will see about the voice/video call ability.

I also bought this hoping for Phone functionality....
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kokyew:
How to know that GSM hardware is in the Flyer? I've ordered one but if there is no hope that I can make calls with it, I'll sell it & just go for the Galaxy Tab.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] IP IHI II IL:
Root/ Honeycomb will fix it all... At least that's what I'm hoping... Who wants to make calls from their Tab anyways? I'm sure you have a phone, and if not, the Flyer is way over your knowledge base...
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
but still you need the necessary soft- and hardware. The first point can be solved by root access but the second?

Therefore you don't need an GSM but a 3G connection and that we have.

Sad but truth. I didn't found any hardware information and without root access, we can't do simple tests.

But why should HTC don't implement an gsm driver when the hardware is there? It is a big disadvantage and didn't cost HTC something? Or is there a patent and license cost for gsm functionality? I don't know but that's for me the only reason that it is not possible now... :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doublecheese:
I remember a few years ago HTC debuted the Htc Touch Pro 2 and there was no FM radio advertised. But after the HSPL I remember installing the FM Radio.cab and the FM radio was there :)

I am hoping the same for the Flyer, once rooted , I hope somebody will figure out how to enable regular voice call, preferable video call.

I am the kind of guy who does not like to carry a few devices with me, I only need one device that should be able to do everything !!!

Once Sensation and Flyer has been rooted, I am getting rid of my Incredible S and Desire HD .. :)
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] leonhart:
Actually I think that maybe they really wanna differentiate between a tablet and a phone. I have read in some forum that the honeycomb update is coming very soon, so HTC probably don't want users to buy the flyer as a phone and ended up with the phone function forever lost on update. :p
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] doublecheese:
What do you mean ?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] saayinla:
I think what he meant is IF HTC sold the flyer with ability to make phone calls, they are trying to work their way into ensuring the functionality is still there during upgrade to Honeycomb albeit hidden.

Did you guys realise HTC FLYER is lacking a FM RADIO ?

And I am guessing HTC did not even bother to install a FM Radio chip , I think even if we find the original HTC FM Radio .apk from somewhere the radio will not work !!! Because I found some other applications act as a radio and these apps told me my device does not have a FM Chp installed ...

No Phone, no Video Call, no Radio ? WTF ? I wish I never sold my Samsung Galaxy tab , it had all these features :(
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] clubtech:
in the build.prop under /system there is a line:

ro.phone.function=0

0=disabled.

I assume that when we root changing this value to 1 should allow some phone activity such as receiving a call.
