I am still using it and am in LOVE! I've seriously never had reception at my home before lol quite sad really...

I was just excited that I could potentially get it to not count against my minutes
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Just gave telenav the once over for you.

It does have a pedestrian setting.

No locally stored maps. I looked at an area on the map, left it and turned off data/wifi. Went back and it's all blank space.

Tried Europe. I selected Heathrow Airport. It wouldn't autocomplete locations outside the US but it did go straight to Heathrow on the map. Unfortunately there is nothing on the map for Europe(and Africa) except country names. It looks like it has the ability but it's not enabled. This is the basic free service. For $3 a month it has more features but none of the listed features correspond to any of the basic functionality you're looking for.

I got GAIA Maps(?) for free off of Amazon and it has all of that and really good topographical maps showing natural landmarks. It seems like something a hiker could use.

Remember that it is only the T-Mobile Sensation that is missing Locations. Sounds like Locations is a helluva nav app. It's sad T-mo crippled our S4Gs just to sell subs to telenav. Isn't telenav the same free crap sprint was loading on Palm Pre's a few years ago?
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
lol same here. Thought I could do it and keep my 5gb data.
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Thanks for checking all this. I'm getting my Sensation on Wed, so will be doing a thorough test during the remorse period to decide if I'll keep it.

I travel in the US and internationally to larger cities, and rely heavily on walking and public transit navigation on my phone. Usually I have a local SIM with data access and Google Maps, but sometimes having a phone resident map is necessary. I've been manually installing map segments to use with Rmaps, which works ok. I was looking forward to having Locations, but looks like I'm SOL.

I'll check out GAIA.

Thanks again.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I have the apks for Locations so when we get root and if there aren't any dependency issues you could use Locations but no ETA on that happening.

Just checked GAIA and they do have international maps. It runs $9.99 but you can email them and ask for a free license. gaiagps.com

Good luck.
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
Free wifi calling is a new feature on TMO. It DOESN'T count against your minutes at all. I've had it since May 15. You have to either call or do a live chat. They will then ask for an emergency 911 address. Once you give it, you can use free wifi calling all you want! NO minutes deducted.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
I've had it since I got my Sensation on Wednesday and I can find NO documentation whatsoever from an official T-Mobile source regarding that free unlimited wifi calling.

Do you have a link to something official from T-Mo on that? The 3 reps I spoke to are not familiar with the details of this new program. Redacted images from Tmonews.com are not legitmate sources to cite.

With the contract changes I'm better off with the new contract rates anyway. If I can find proof of the free unlimited wifi I can drop my minutes to 500 and save $20. I basically can be back at 5gb-500min-unlimited text for $69 + corpdiscount.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
It does in fact exist. It's free to add as well. I'm surprised not all of the reps know about it yet. It was a feature introduced in late april. If you search tmonews.com I think they reported it

BTW I have an unbranded model. Can someone try to post the wifi calling apk?
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
I don't have any official proof but it does in fact exist. You can drop your minutes and get the plan but you havae to make sure your wifi calling settings are "wifi preferred". The app, by default, will say it uses your plan minutes but it doesn't. I had to talk to 2 different reps before they found the feature. It does work though.
[HTC Sensation] AZbear:
I also have the free WiFi calling. Got it around May 20
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
I am going to keep calling and chatting with customer care until I get it...It is definitely a MUST HAVE for me considering I have absolutely no cellphone reception where I live. Wish me luck :eek:
[HTC Sensation] jettrue:
This is really awesome, as I work in a large multi building medical complex, which has really good wifi coverage for all the doc's using iPads, but the cell coverage is very spotty in the buildings, which makes my battery life pretty sucky when it's constantly looking for a signal.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
tmonews is worthless when trying to make your case with T-Mobile

Without official proof that they are offering it free and unlinked to plan minutes it does me no good since none of the people I have spoken with (4 so far) at T-Mo know anything about it. I use the app all the time and have it configured for what I need. I found it while trying to turn off the stupid notification bar message about counting against your plan minutes. The only thing i lack is evidence to make my case to T-Mobile.

I will try again in the future. If it is policy then it doesn't really matter if I have to wait a month even. I can modify the different data and minutes aspects of my plan without renewing my contract.
[HTC Sensation] gotzta:
Okay. I just got off chat with Customer Care. Someone there knew about it, BUT it's not available for my plan! We are on a really old 400 minute family plan. Apparently we would need to change to one of the newer "even more" plans and extend the contracts another 2 years. Not worth it :mad:
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Call and ask to speak to customer loyalty. When the prompt comes up say "representative" when she asks what kind say "loyalty" it connects you to the account cancellation/account specialist departments, and they have more power and usually more knowledge than the normal CS reps

tip: they can also put you on the 5gb android "preferred" plan where you pay $20 a month for the unlimited 5gb data instead of $30. Depending on how long you've been with them
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
I'm curious about the $20 unlimited since i currently pay $30, can I just request it from them? I've been with T-Mobile for about 7 years now.
[HTC Sensation] Robertsonland:
I've been with Tmobile over 7 years now and I couldn't get them to even admit this existed. I had to go to the 2GB for $20 which won't affect me right now but I would like to get on the loyalty plan. I mentioned "cancel", "contract", "loyalty" and "retentions" and they all seemed like customer service and basically said "I can't say what other people have on their line but right now we only offer <blah> <blah> <blah>"

Let us know if you get the Loyalty Plan though..maybe I'll try again.
[HTC Sensation] Paten:
Of course you can. You can request anything. They'll either tell you yes or no. Let us know how it turns out.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
I have the $30 unlimited plan which includes 400 messages (some tmob rep added way back). But, I'm going to try getting it for $20...
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
I will give it a try tomorrow and report back.
[HTC Sensation] LordPhong:
remember to ask for Android Preferred. They will tell you that it's a grandfarther plan and they no longer offer it. However, I've been with them for 10+ yrs and they gave it to me. So, obviously YMMV.
[HTC Sensation] graffixnyc:
Yeah you should be able to. I switched to android in Jan from BB and was with them for a little over 5 years and they did it for me no questions asked. You just say you heard about the $20 unlimited preferred plan for long time customers instead of the $30(They **may** or may not make you renew your contract. I'm not sure because I was already renewing my contract when they did it for me)
[HTC Sensation] borodin1:
I am not sure that honor corporate discounts anymore. I still have it but, when I was going to change plans, gal said that they wont keep it. YMMV so make sure to check beforehand.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
All my calls trying to get it were with retentions. I'm automatically being transferred to them every time because I have like 15 calls and a few cancellation requests in the pat two weeks. I'll stay on it though.

Not sure if I'm eligible for the discount since I'm only halfway through my second year of service.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Yeah that part is weird. When I bought my first N1 they gave me a discount. When I bought the second one they just waived activation. I split those accounts up and they only discounted one - not my phone. Last night when I called asking why my bill showed up as being higher they told me it was only for one month and then it would drop. I asked for details and found out they put a corp discount on my line and it would show up next month.

Dealing with T-Mobile is a customer service/pricing grab bag. You never know what the hell you're getting. One thing I can say is that if you keep trying eventually they will make you happy. The key is not going postal before that happens.
[HTC Sensation] galaxys:
Thanks for the tip...will give it a try :cool:
[HTC Sensation] quailallstar:
So I have all these missing APKs along with their respective ODEX files that I got off a Euro ROM. Now how in the heck can I push these to my Sensation? I attempted to install and it gives me an error via QtADB. :mad:
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
I called yesterday and had them switch my data plan from the older $30 unlimited to the $20 2Gb "unlimited". I never use more than 1Gb/mo, so not a problem for me. The CSR did not hesitate to make the change.
[HTC Sensation] Chris19145:
That's awesome, haven't had the chance yet but I will try soon. Did you directly asked them for that plan?
[HTC Sensation] samnada:
Yes. I just said I understand there's an Android Preferred data plan that's $20/mo. She agreed, and made the switch. No problem at all. You can check your past monthly usage online, or ask the CSR to do it. If you're consistently under 2Gb, and are paying more than $20 now it's a no-brainer.
[HTC Sensation] GorillaPimp:
Oh ****!!!!!!!!!! Going through YMMV bull**** and found the holy grail - free unlimited wifi

here's the deal - all account specialists (retentions) have the option of adding it to an account - usually for coverage issues. anyone who says they never heard of it is a liar or n00b

Finally got it and my old plan
[HTC Sensation] chasechunt:
funny. I was getting ready to reinstall my operating software because I couldnt find voice record. actually, they didn't take it completely off. If you download the widget on HTC you can still use it and the app DOES come up. I just used it last night but couldnt find the app to get to my files so I had to hit the record button and then the saved notification in my taskbar. Also, I could send the file via email but not text. I had it before I upgraded to build 2.3.5 on T-Mobile. Ive put off rooting on my new phone but looks like I will do that today to remove apps and reinstall the voice recorder apk.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wmblalock:
How do I know if my Transformer needs the WW or the US versions of the software?

The "Build Number" in the about tablet settings has the letters "US" in it

The sticker on the bottom of the box the tablet came in has the letters "WW" in it where it says "T250, 16GB EMMC, CB-802.11bgn(AS)_WW+BT2.1"

I figured it was US since the Build Number had "US" in it, but when I just tried to root I got major problems. The tablet updated itself when I first got it and I installed that update. Wanting to root, I used this root guide and downgraded to the US 8.2.3.9 firmware so it could be rooted.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106587

After I downgraded, when the tablet rebooted it gets tons of Force Close dialogs pertaining to android stuff. I pressed onward with that guide and tried to root it. I got to the part of the guide where I run gingerbreak and it seemed to run fine and after a few minutes it landed me at the "#" symbol as the guide suggested it should. After that, I tried to do the rest of the commands the guide recommends but I kept getting errors and I can't seem to get anywhere now.

Was I supposed to use the WW version to downgrade? Any ideas what happened?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
Wrong forum section.

But.. go to settings -> About Tablet -> Build version

It'll say either WW or US somewhere

Edit: your thread topic is misleading. I don't know why you're downgrading to the previous version to "gingerbreak" that is the obsolete way of rooting now. You now want to just use NVFlash whereas it'll root and flash a custom ROM on top of it regardless of your Android version.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wmblalock:
Like I said, the "Build Number" had the words "US" in it, so I guess mine is US and I used the right version to downgrade. I stumbled upon that thread I stated above which had a full guide as of how to root, load cwm, and load a rom so I figured it was up to date. Let me look into rooting with NVFlash, hopefully it will work that way since after the downgrade my tablet is all screwed up now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] zephiK:
Well in your thread OP name, it says if you have WW or US version. That's why I said it was misleading. But yes, use NVFlash. It is far more easier and a lot better.

It'll be flashing WW version, but you can flash a US version right over it without wiping without any problems. It's easy.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Q.Entity:
Does the dock come with an extra charger or do you use the one from the TF?

Skickat från min ASUS Eee Pad TF101
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] 8t88:
no extra charger you have to use the one from the tablet......
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ryan stewart:
Hopefully someday someone gets them in stock, especially if they stock them with a 6 foot cable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] alex5790:
You could always just buy a usb extender.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] rexroof:
no extension cable I've tried lets the tablet still charge.

it is puzzling.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] dennka:
my understanding is that if you use usb 3.0 will do the trick
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Q.Entity:
Thanks guys!

One of these days we will get to buy extra chargers... Untio then mine is surrounded by a minefield... just in case...
[Nexus S General] agel1:
can somebody tell me what is the function of the "recovery image" when rooting a nexus s 4G

im asking because in other site say if you don't do the following the recovery image won't load everytime u reboot your nexus s

---------------

adb shell

cd etc

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mv install-recovery.sh install-recovery-no.sh

that will mount the system as writable and rename the file that overwrites the recovery image on reboot so that our custom recovery will stay

--------------

thanks
[Nexus S General] chewbz:
When you install clock work recovery the first time and than flash super user and try to go back to recovery it will load the stock recovery and have an android and exclamation mark. I take it your using the unlocker method. For clock work to stick every time you go into recovery, most people download rom manager and flash from there. Personally I just flash clock work from fastboot again because I don't like rom manager. Btw here is a tip when you first flash clock work from fastboot make a backup before you install super user so that you can have a backup with stock everything and all you have to do is OEM lock.
[Nexus S General] rentaric:
Another way to stop the recovery from disappearing each reboot is:

flash recovery

flash superuser

boot into android

download "super manager" app, set it to read/write access (needs superuser), move to system/etc folder and rename install-recovery.sh to something else

then flash recovery again

done

---

Basically what I described is the same the lines in OP do via adb shell.
[Nexus S General] agel1:
i think now i get it, if we don't install the "custom recovery" , we can not install the "superuser.zip". and the phone can't be rooted, right ?

and if i go back to the stock recovery after flashing the "superuser.zip" the phone will stay rooted ?

thanks
[Nexus S General] deeren:
Well flashing the superuser.zip through recovery is the easiest way. That is why. Recovery is needed mainly ro flash roms radios kernels.... just for root,recovery is not mandatory. you can also use adb, if you know how to do it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fm219:
I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G from T-Mobile USA.

I don't have this problem when I set my phone to WCDMA Only but when I set my phone to WCDMA/GSM Auto mode, the phone would freeze while I'm talking on the phone. It seems to happen whenever the phone needs to switch from WCDMA to GSM (or vice versa?). It's just my guess though.. When I drive down I-280, my phone does switch between GSM/EDGE and WCDMA quite a few times (bad WCDMA coverage), and I think the freezing happens at points where the phone needs to switch to a different mode.

I use T-Mobile in San Francisco Bay Area, and I really don't like to leave my phone at WCDMA Only mode because the coverage is less than adequate. GSM Only would make data too slow.

Is there a way for me to pinpoint the problem? (any debugging tools?) The phone freezes and nothing happens. If I wait a while, it usually comes back up but until then the call drops and none of the buttons on the phone works. Very frustrating. I was having a conversation on bluetooth driving down the highway and I had to call back 3 times in 20 minutes.

Lastly, I use LauncherPro Plus but didn't make any changes (no rooting or changing ROM).

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedtiger:
Hi guys,

I am very new to Windows Phone and I got a quick question.

When MS release the new version OS such as Mango, is it going to be Android way or IOS way?

For IOS, we can just click and done for all apple devices but for andorid, we need to wait till manufacture release its own version.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] day2die:
Neither. Microsoft release the updates for all the devices at the same time, but if the phone is carrier branded, you may have to wait for carriers testings. Testing takes ~30 days.

I have a problem with my browsers where they aren't retaining my username:passwords.

Ever since moving to GB roms this seems to have started.

Had this with docs rom originally on a froyo, moved to simply honey gb build(3.3, 3.5, 3.6}, now running jvp stock deodexed. (also had the problem on jvh/jvo)

Xda app holds the details fine (posting from this now) but any browser (stock, miren, opera) I can ever credentials, it accepts them then when the page refreshes, I'm logged out again.

(examples of websites are, something awful forums, www.whirlpool.net.au, xda)

Its frustrating to say the least.

So I'm still having problems with this.

I've now just updated to CM7 from stock deodexed rom jvp and the problem persists, tapatalk and xda app keep me details fine, but when trying to login to the sites through any browser, it just dumps me back to the main screen as if nothing has happened.

Possibly something about the phone not handling cookies right? So frustrating.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midnightmaraude:
I'm trying to root my friends phone but dumb dumb saved his contacts to the phone and not his Google acct. Now when I go to people and export to SD it only gives me the Google option and fails.

So I started entering the contacts by hand into gmail. At first there were duplicates showing up on his phone but they later disappeared. I don't know if its the original on the phone or the synched one.

Any ideas how to move these to SD or get them to Google ? I guess I could add them all into gmail and when I root his phone with new Rom hope it will sync but is there an easier way ?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DustinBooyah:
Htc sync can do it
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RMarkwald:
If you add them to Gmail, root the phone and flash a new ROM to his phone, when you set up his Google account it'll sync automatically, so the contacts in Gmail will show up. Since flashing a new ROM requires clearing of user data/factory reset in ClockworkMod, all of the old ROM info is gone so you shouldn't have duplicates.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
definitely do not waste your time writing down numbers...

Back them up using verizon backup assistant. then go to the verizon website and export the contacts into a .csv file

Then just import it into gmail.

you'll be done in less than 15 minutes.
