[HTC EVO 3D] ejmjs:
I havn't but then again im runnin a custom rom anyway so not sure if it will come through.
[HTC EVO 3D] shadders:
i haven't received one either
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Searched everywhere and there's no news of us receiving an update :(
[HTC EVO 3D] pricefix23:
Quick update on t-Mobile UK availability. I spoke to a nice lady in their Upgrades team today who said that T-Mobile UK are not currently planning to stock the Evo 3D as they already carry the LG Optimus 3D and have decided that's a "better phone"....
[HTC EVO 3D] shadders:
what insurance have you guys got for the phone? i don't wanna go on without having this beauty covered by insurance, but i also don't want to go on paying the default £10 a month optional insurance that came with my plan :/

anyone found anything better?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
I'm on the CPW Geek Squad insurance, pay £11pm for that :O

@Pricefix - Don't worry about t mobile you can still upgrade your phone if your with them even though they don't have the phone. That's what i did, i went to Carphonewarehouse and they upgraded my T-Mob contract by speaking with t-mobile :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Sibley:
I don't use them but protectmybubble.com (.co.uk?) had insurance for about £7 a month when I looked last.

I'm taking the gamble....
[HTC EVO 3D] pricefix23:
Thanks for the tip - I tried CPW, but ended up getting the handset for £69.99 from BuyMobilePhones.net on a 18month O2 Internet All Rounder tariff (free wifi via TheCloud/BTOpenzone) for £21/month instead.

Should be delivered tomorrow!
[HTC EVO 3D] shadders:
thank you, that's the cheapest i've heard of so far :)
[HTC EVO 3D] lysergic:
Any ideas of if and when the EVO 3D will be release on Orange UK?

The phone is in their help pages already (http://help.orange.co.uk/orangeuk/support/personal/617501) but not in the coming soon section of the online shop

Cheers!
[HTC EVO 3D] lysergic:
Called Orange UK yesterday and was told that they don't have a release date yet :( Damn!

I suppose I might try CPW for an upgrade, do they do that? Or is it only new contracts?
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Yep, they do upgrades :)

They contact your carrier and get a deal done for you.

That's what i did, i managed to stay on the exact same contract with T-mobile, just payed £99 for the phone and bada bing bada boom :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Anyone here in the UK got the official market update? (not manually, automatically)

I'm still on the Green version (2.3.6) - So is my brothers Samsung Galaxy s2.

Any news on when we will be getting it?

PS. I've already done it manually to my hTC Desire, so I'm just waiting it out for a pushed version for the Evo 3D
[HTC EVO 3D] shadders:
i'm still on the green version as well, no idea when we'll be getting it :( wondering on the status of the evo 3d update the american users got in late august as well, although maybe we won't get one.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Regarding the update, what they received was already pre loaded in our Evo 3D's ;) [2.3.4]
[HTC EVO 3D] shadders:
ah that's good to know :) had wondered about the possibility of that but figured the uk evo's must have been shipped before updates were put on it.

---------- Post added at 12:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

in the end I went for insurance2go, who do insurance for £65 for the year if you pay upfront (plus £5 off from quidco). They had the best reviews on review centre (although i guess that wasn't saying much as all the insurance companies had loads of people writing very angry reviews about them- here's hoping i don't have to claim :/ !). anyway, this is the best deal i've come across and so i just wanted to put it here in case anyone else is looking :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Rage1ofakind:
Whoa the insuranxe2go cover is cheaaaap even their top one.

This is what I'm on;http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mo...c=phoneFinder&tariffNetworks=&clearance=false - thinking about cancelling it and getting the one you're on, but is it 100 Legit though?

check my one out and see if its any better or if i should make the switch

btw I'm paying £11+ per month for it
[HTC EVO 3D] shadders:
hi, sorry for the late reply, i've been really busy with moving house. insurance2go is legit in the sense that it's regulated by the FSA. but different insurance providers differ in how willing they are to pay out in the event of a claim. so in that sense i don't know how good insurance2go are, i went with them because they have the highest reviews on reviewcentre (although bear in mind that there a lot of bad reviews as well) and seem like good value for money. their top option covers everything you need, so it maybe worth switching from geek squad.

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumbojetdreams:
I flashed CM7 RC1 this morning coming from an older version of phiremod. I formatted the system, data, and cache as usual. When I turn the nook on it gives me the Cyanogen splash screen with the loading text for a few seconds then goes to a black screen and stays there. If I try and boot into recovery it shows the Cyanogen splash screen with the booting recovery text and then also goes to the black screen and hangs.

I'm going to burn an sd card and try again with that when I get back from class, but does anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martian21:
Sounds like an incorrect kernel. Did you flash a kernel after RC1? You obviously have the right uboot so that isn't the issue.

Assuming you didn't flash an incorrect kernel then you probably just have a bad flash. I would re-download RC1 and try again.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
It seems to me, based on wholly unscientific observations (running speed tests on various days), that my Wimax speeds drop off noticeably on rainy days. Is this a known limitation of Wimax or just my imagination?
[Epic 4G General] Xiutehcuhtli:
I posted about a similar question a while back. Mine seems to slow dramatically when it's overcast, although most people here seem to agree that it's not due to any inclement weather, but I am glad I am not the only one who perceives it to be this way.
[Epic 4G General] f0xblade:
Rain does cause some RF attenuation. I don't believe it's sever at 2.4 GHz though. If you have a weak signal to begin with, then that might explain why you notice it, but not evryone does. I don't usually have 4G coverage so I don't have a good feel for what would be normal speeds.
[Epic 4G General] slybarman:
Yes, I have seen a drop on overcast days as well, though not as much a drop as days when actually raining.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Actually, I see a drop in signal on very windy days as well as overcast and rainy days.
[Epic 4G General] stevesprivateaccount:
Sprint keeps track of the local weather and has an automated system that slows down network speeds when the weather is bad in order to save on network costs, but keeping the ability to blame an "act of G-d".

They've been able to saves thousands of dollars over the year by deploying this multimillion dollar automation throttling system.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArielTM:
Hi all.

I recently bought my gs2 i9100.

I added my main gmail account to the phone & another empty,newly created account.

When I synced both accounts with the phone, all my phone contacts were copied to my newly created gmail account. But all my previous contacts from my main gmail account were deleted.

What did I do wrong?

Is there any way to restore them?

Thank you very much,

Ariel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArielTM:
Apparently, there's an option to restore contacts in gmail

The lock screen and wallpaper are not updating for me. It has been light out for 3 hours and they are still showing the moon. Anyone else have this problem?

Thanks ahead!:cool:
[HTC EVO 3D] Jye75:
Dont' know if this applies, but how often is your weather set to update? That might be the problem.
[HTC EVO 3D] Ryno23:
It was set to 3 hours so I don't think that was it but I did change it to 1 hour. When I went into the weather app everything did update. Weird!
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
When I switched between my nandroid backups (all stock 2.1), then how come I dont have to factory reset after restoring that back up?(unlike when switching to dexter's rom I need to factory reset) anyone care to explain?? Any help would be appreciated!!
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
At least from my point of view, it's easier to tell people to factory reset than to hunt down and fix obscure problems. One of the first troubleshooting steps will probably be factory reset anyway. My feeling is more advanced users figure out their own thing. I used to post elaborate instructions, but more possibilities/options just confuses the least experienced users. It saves a lot of hassle to just post the single most sure-fire set of instructions and then help people that want to try different things later. At least that is my current philosophy.
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
When you factory reset with our custom Roms it isn't like when you do it on a stock phone and you get the green Android welcome screen. The long and short of it, as I have read, is that if you created the nandroid, ie backup, you wont need to do the factory reset, just wipe dex and cache partitions. If you are moving between "fresh" Roms like from Dexter or Khals to Miui, then I would do it for sure to make sure you have a clean slate to start your modding. But I agree with Mio, number one thing I do when I have an issue is do a factory reset and move from there.
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
So if i want to switch from my dexter 2.2 rom to my 2.1 nandroid backup, i have factory reset?
[Milestone XT720 General] Woody:
I think that if you are only switching from back ups that you already made, you don't have to, but I wipe dex, cache partitions and factory reset everytime. Like I said above, it is always good to have a clean slate to start off with. From what I have gathered, it doesn't wipe everything clean, it wipes everything clean back to your back up point. In my experience, everything will still be there (except for a few passwords), there being the point that you made a back up. Oh also forgot about this key factor. When I back up, I do the top 5 and maybe the sd-ext depending on if I have purchased anything new. Loosely think of it as a restore point in Windows. The reset will only reset to the data backup that you made, nothing beyond or before.
[Milestone XT720 General] Mioze7Ae:
I'm not so sure about that. I can imagine Android has features to upgrade things like sqlite databases forward from 2.1 to 2.2, but I doubt 2.1 knows how to downgrade from 2.2. For jumping between OS releases, I'd use something like Titanium Backup to copy apps and preferences. But moving laterally i.e. 2.2 to 2.2 or 2.1 to 2.1 it's more likely to be ok.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrHooper:
Anyone know how to get the new facebook update installed on the Flyer?

Andrew
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] MrHooper:
nobody?

Why can I not uninstall the facebook app from the tablet, nor find the facebook app on marketplace? This is one of those pre-installed things that are locked down? Thus will it only get updates via htc?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
Everything that is pre-installed on the ROM is protected from being uninstalled. Only way around this is with root, which has not yet been achieved for this device.

As far as why the Facebook app is not in the Market, the permissions on the app include reading phone state and access to SMS/MMS. For the WiFi-only version of the Flyer, it appears that any apps that require permissions related to phone functions are not listed (since the tablet does not have those features).
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ICHAPMAN:
Doesn't help you, but seeing the same issue on a 3G Flyer based in the UK.

Facebook v1.5.4 is installed on my Flyer (not sure if this was pre-installed, or done by linking my Flyer to the same Google account as my DHD). No opportunity to upgrade it however to 1.6 as it's not listed in the Market.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] minism:
No way to install the Facebook standalone app

Check out this HTC's Flyer FAQ.

------

"What’s the difference between Facebook app and Facebook for HTC Sense?"

Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone app. It is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts (their status updates, shared links, and photos) in these apps.

The Facebook app is a standalone app. Use this app to do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and sending Facebook messages.

The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense does not sign you in to the Facebook app and vice versa. If you want to use the same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login credentials.

Note: If you have more than one Facebook account, you may sign in to the Facebook app using your second account, since the Facebook app does not share the same login credentials as Facebook for HTC Sense.​

-----

Since HTC Flyer/Evo View's Facebook app is integrated in People, Friend Stream, Gallery, and Calendar, I don't think there's a way to install Facebook standalone app separately.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
So a good many of the posts in here all ask the same question, and so I thought I'd create a new thread where we could collect all of the possible fixes for service issues, and cut down on the forum clutter:

Q: WHY I NO HAVE G'Z?

A: Attach your battery cover! It completes phone circuitry in two places, enabling the cell antennae. If you have bars but not G's, shake your phone real hard. If the battery falls out, you forgot to put the cover on!

A: Turn off fastboot and reboot! Settings>power>uncheck fastboot. Fastboot doesn't allow the phone to fully shut down, and when starting up a new rom this sometimes causes the radios to never get initialized. A proper reboot should fix it.

A: Make sure you're running the right radio image! The radio image is the 'PG05IMG.zip' that you flash via hboot (hold vol- while powering on). Froyo roms use the MR1 image, Gingerbread roms require the MR2 or MR2.5 radio. The proper radio is more than likely linked to in the original post of the rom you downloaded...

A: Check your radio settings! Open dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#* and select 'phone info' (many roms have access to this menu baked in via settings>wireless and networking, or via a standalone utilities app.) Go to the bottom where it says 'Set preferred network type'. If you want 4g, make sure 'CDMA + LTE/EvDo auto' is selected. If you don't want 4g (save battery outside of LTE range) select 'CDMA auto (prl)'. Try power cycling the radio by selecting 'turn off radio', wait until your radio is off (watch the bars), wait 10 seconds, turn it back on.

A: Check your APN settings! Go to settings>Wireless & networks>Mobile networks>Access Point Names. There should be one entry, 'Internet':

Name: Internet

Apn: VZWINTERNET

proxy: <not set>

port: <not set>

Username: <not set>

Password: <not set>

Server: <not set>

MMSC: http://mms.vtext.com/services/mms

MMS Proxy: <not set>

MMS Port: <not set>

MMS protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 311

MNC: 480

Authentication type: <not set>

APN type: default,mms

You may not be able to edit the info if there's garbage in there (I think this info is supposed to be stored and locked on the SIM card), so create a new one with the proper info. Occasionally the SIM gets freaked out and forgets its APN info.

A: Your SIM card might be broke! This has happened to a few people. A new SIM card is probably $6 from a verizon store.

A: Verizon might be screwing with cell towers! Expanding their 4g markets often creates hiccups in coverage or service as they screw with hardware. Contact verizon and ask about your area.

A: Something about your eHRPD thing is wonky!

If there's any other potential fixes, let me hear 'em and I'll toss them in this first post!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ron750ss:
great compilation of common fixes, thanks added
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pender1:
The MMSC for mine reads: http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms

think that might have something to do with my phone doing this or was that a typo on the OP?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dante_l1:
I am reposting my response from the missing 3g thread. With a few extra details.

I am on vacation this week and my 3g disappeared in the middle of a hotspot session yesterday. I spent all afternoon flashing, clearing, etc, and my ultimate solution is the one below from android central. I am certain this is a Vzw doing something to the towers in the area as my Xoom, my wife's iPhone, and her iPad2 all kept 3g the entire time.

I am and have been running the same Rom, Das_BAMF_1.32, for months without ever having seen this issue before. I travel the country for work so I have used my fair share of towers for whatever that is worth. I have tinkered other the CDMA auto PRL settings as well but the method below is what worked for me. In my case the loss of 3g is absolutely tied to the eHRPD setting.

Interesting note is that when this issue was active in could still get internet via 1x as long as the battery cover was off as is normal with the cover off. As soon as the cover went on and the antenna circuit was complete the unit would lose 1x and all connectivity. That is how I was sure this was not a sudden hardware failure.

The other odd behavior is that both with or without a battery cover, I could get a 3g icon while performing a check for software updates. The icon was active but there was no data for apps. I suspect the system is coded to perform those update checks using the legacy network protocols.

This should be added to OP.

If the link fails Google "Thunderbolt 3g problems". It will be the first result.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jiggity Janx:
I don't have my 2 Tbolts (yet!) so maybe it's different but from what I recall the most likely cause for reception problems is the radio.

So is the *228 update still recommended as a troubleshooting step for the Tbolt? (I'm assuming people would have to be still stock?)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pender1:
this new solution with the eHRPD fix is exactly what tech support walked me through doing about 3 days ago. It works but I'm kinda angry I have no 4G...guess 3G's better than nothing though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pender1:
DO NOT TRY *228 on a TB. you will fry the SIM card.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
*228 doesn't do anything in these phones, as the 'programming and roaming capabilities' are updated via the sim card, not cell towers. Feel free to do it, it'll just tell you what's up. And no, being stock has nothing to do with it.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greenjeans:
Umm...what? This is a big fat lie. Trust me, try it. I've done it multiple times.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdunn1066:
One thing i've noticed is is overnight i have spent nearly 60% of the time without signal over the past few days since rooting my phone. I have everything setup properly, right radio for the rom etc. This has happened with several different roms, and i dont remember it being this way before i rooted.

Is the thing in battery stats inaccurate or is something wrong with my phone? Im in a low signal area but ive never noticed 60% of the time no signal

Edit: Could it be that the night stand in which i leave my thunderbolt is a dead spot? I used to always charge it when i was on stock overnight there but my battery life is such that i dont need to anymore so i may not have noticed before
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pender1:
just repeating the stern warnings that I've heard on this forum. If I'm wrong I apologize.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariol90:
wow really? the first vzw tech I talked to told me that it "really messes up the network" or your phone or something if you do that, and the lte toggle isn't "as bad". he was asking me how I got my phone to quickly switch from 3g to 4g. and he said the network technicians told him this... ha.

if vzw had their network working properly in the first place they wouldn't have to deal with people switching between 3g/4g and evdo/ehrpd.
[HTC EVO 3D] djmend:
Trying to figure out if this is a widespread issue or not. Since doing the OTA updates I have found some graphics bugs in the Sense Launcher.

First, I no longer get the Transparent launcher when you select it from the "Skins" customization menu. You can select it but it appears solid like the old traditional launcher we are used to.

Second, when that Skin is selected I was noticing the Text on the End button (In the dialer) was in the left corner of the button rather than centered. Although this went away when I did a factory reset.

Third, slightly more laggy performance in Sense overall, but nothing major. Just not as smooth as before the OTA. Especially when the Full Screen calendar widget is present.

So far these are the 3 issues I have observed that the OTA messed up.

Is anyone else experiencing these?
[HTC EVO 3D] djmend:
So nobody is experiencing any of these things?
[HTC EVO 3D] eman3316@optonline.net:
I never had a transparent Rosie. From what I read from others, no one has.
[HTC EVO 3D] awesomeindeed:
None of those issues and I also never had a transparent skin available to me. My phone did not come with the OTA pre-installed and I have since done the updates.
[HTC EVO 3D] ZeeMox:
No transparency ever available here either. Sure would be nice...
