I believe Verizon has told HTC to no longer support our device. I've written 5 emails to HTC requesting information & have received the typical non answer of:

"...Currently, our developers have to work with Verizon to determine when and if a ROM upgrade will be available....."

Basically I assume this is how it went down:

HTC: hey Verizon! We have a gingerbread update that needs testing on the ADR6300(Dinc).

Verizon: If they want gingerbread tell them to sign a new contract & get an ADR6350(Dinc2).

I encourage all of you to email HTC & inform them that they cannot be sued by Apple for emulating their support system & ignoring the carriers request for bad support. We have little chance of changing Verizon's mind but HTC is our hardware manufacturer & they could continue to support us on their website via RUU.

For the negative Nancy's out there this very tactic worked for the Desire community. They were the squeaky wheel & guess what? They got grease on the way. Being vocal is the only reason they are now getting gingerbread. So save your disparaging comments for your low self esteem girlfriend.

Lastly, for the inevitable "root & u no need OTAz!!!"; yes you do. Things like kernel source are of the utmost importance & drivers for various hardware are closed source. Which means if you reverse engineer it; you can get sued. If you modify it; you can get sued.

I'm confused though, I thought it was pretty much a done deal that we were getting a GB release??? Was that just an unsubstantiated rumor?
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
I think HTC had the intention of it but like I said I believe it's Verizon's doing. They're not above that at all.

Also HTC is pretty good about getting back to you in a couple of days. Please continue the dialog after reply with your ticket number.

Its not a rumor, we even had a GB leak specifically for our phone. Blame VZW :/

[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
^ pretty much. Desire, Evo, etc pretty much every version of our hardware is getting it.
[Droid Incredible General] Sputn1k:
Sent e mail as well, also mentioned bringing out the update on fb
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
Remember though, outcry for the Desire didn't happen until AFTER HTC said they "couldn't do it.", and the EVO is simply way too popular to ignore.

Incredible users need some press on the issue, and we can't mention development in letters we write. "Send us gingerbread so we can hack into it plz" um, yeah OK. Lol

You guys should be sending letters to tech news outlets and stuff so it can be known. The more regular people that know, the more curiosity and subsequent demand will grow. You are pissing in the wind if you think letters to the companies are gonna help. Press is what's gonna be the catalyst for support in this issue, THEN your letters will have merit. Imagine the millions of users that get news updates on phones, computers, RSS, twitter, etc that suddenly realize that they CAN but wont get an update.
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
Actually HTC didn't come out & say it until they had been pestered by users. I agree on needing some press love. I'll hit the blogs.
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
Looking at the link in the OP, it doesn't look like those guys are getting any GB love yet either.
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
^ it has been confirmed by HTC. Basically we're the only one's with sister hardware still out in the rain.

[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
Based on that thread, their GB update seems to be as "confirmed" as ours. Basically just info from HTC reps, not any sort of official announcement. And there's nothing besides speculation that suggests that the update will be sense 2.1. Our GB update was supposed to be here by the end of Q2, now what are they saying?

I know this is coming off as negative, but I'm just trying to be realistic. After not getting our update and hearing nothing else about it, I'd be hesitant to believe anything but an official announcement from HTC, not emails/chat from their support staff.

The post on their Facebook isn't really too confidence inspiring.. Basically they're saying that they're working on an update, but have no idea when it'll be done or what it will include, when we were supposed to get GB last month? Come on HTC..
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
https://www.facebook.com/htcuk/posts/225857300777092

K there's a fairly blatant statement that came 3 days after they said no GB for Desire. That's about as concrete as it gets as far as statements on releases go.

Back to Dinc, the email I received in late April said sometime in quarter 2. Now the emails I receive say "we have to work with Verizon on when & if a ROM update is available."

There is your big difference & you're not coming off as negative or realistic; only uninformed.
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
I'm thinking that we might be barking up the wrong tree. Shouldn't we be pestering Verizon instead of HTC? It really sounds like they are the ones that are the road block here.

Anywho, I got the following response from HTC today about my email yesterday:
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
I see what your saying but I can't recall Verizon changing its mind on anything & they don't seem to cave to bad press whereas HTC does. The best I figure we can do is put pressure on HTC & they would in turn put pressure on Verizon.

Thanks for posting your reply. Interesting ... our hardware is overly capable of GB & 18 months from release for Dinc is this August ....
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
Just got this from twitter:

poontab: @HTC any news on gingerbread for incredible 1? All similar hardware is getting it Desire, Evo, etc. U haven't even addressed us in 3 months

htc: @poontab Good question, keep following us here for HTC phone updates.

Original Tweet: http://twitter.com/htc/status/96359461014343680

Nothing... but at least he finally responded. I've been hitting them 3 time's a day every day since I started getting pissed.
[Droid Incredible General] 7he Messiah:
I find the overall "we know nothing" tone of badogg's reply from HTC a little strange. It is somewhat different from the reply that I received from another rep...

The emphasis was added by me, of course, but please note that I did only receive this today. Rather a different message than Angela had for badogg, and a little more in line with the fact that we had a leak. For what it's worth.
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
^ strange.... yours is the most positive by far. Thanks for posting it!
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
That is the kind of **** that pisses me off. Inconsistent information, or a bunch of words with no information (basically what I got in response). Just freaking be straight up with us already. I'm sick an damn tired of companies playing these stupid games and not just being up front. Just tell us YES or NO if we are getting updates so we can move on already.

/rant :cool:
[Droid Incredible General] poontab:
Totally agree. Why bs the customers? You'd think with all the hate mobs HTC has been having lately ... With that I'm still not sold & I'm gonna keep *****ing at them until I see an announcement or the product directly.
[Droid Incredible General] 7he Messiah:
I agree, and you're welcome. :) On the plus side, given the odd spelling of her name (not "Megan" note), I Googled "Megon HTC" and found that she also told another customer at one point that the EVO 4G and Thunderbolt were on the list to get GB as well, and the EVO did. My point being that she at least seems informed. Let's hope.

I cannot agree more.
[Droid Incredible General] k_nivesout:
I know what HTC has said regarding the desire and incredible GB updates. I've just had a hard time putting too much stock in Facebook posts when HTC has been flip flopping or simply saying they don't have any information on the update (in the case of the incredible at least).

The point I was trying to make is that the thread is a bit misleading, being that the desire GB update is not currently rolling out, and nobody knows (besides HTC) if sense 2.1 will be part of the update.
[Droid Incredible General] bbeelzebub:
I sent an email to the CEO of Verizon Wireless basically calling them out for shoddy support on their Android phones and I got a response back asking for my phone number to have their executive team call me back.

I realize people say to root your phone and install a ROM, etc... but honestly, I shouldn't have to. They should support a phone for atleast two years with timely updates. Whether it means they pressure the MFG to get it out or whatever.

I haven't rooted yet and tried out a ROM, because well... it appears most of the ROMS have some kind of bug (I'm only interested in Sense ROMS). I'm not knocking the devs here, I think they do awesome work, but I'd prefer to have everything work on my phone and not have to worry about needing to do something and have it not work when I need it to.
[Droid Incredible General] carngeX:
SR4.3 has been running fine for me. Even through using the patches to get to 4.3 (From clean install of 4.0, patch to 4.1, patch to 4.2, and then patch to 4.3). Everything runs fine for me.

[Droid Incredible General] loonatik78:
The MR2 OTA is very solid. The gingerbread leaks have been pretty messy, except for the last. That one is bullet-proof so far as I can tell. But up until now its been a little frustrating. It's been cause for mixed opinions.
[Droid Incredible General] :
Or anyone with a Droid X that updated to Gingerbread. Lockups and reboots all the time. My friend has one, and even after a full wipe/reset it sometimes bootloops until it dies.
[Droid Incredible General] badogg:
Yeah, people have this unrealistic expectation of software that is "bug free". It simply doesn't exist.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
HTC replied back to my e-mail with this:

Not very promising, could be another 6 months for all I know :/

[HTC Sensation] Ozam:
My Sensation will only connect to my BMW as a headset meaning that I cannot use the car's internal system to show/select phone contacts, etc. By contrast my Vibrant works perfectly.

Does anyone know what causes this problem and can it be fixed?
[HTC Sensation] floriank:
I have a May 2009 BMW 330d Touring and I get the full Sensation address book downloaded into my car, no problems. I can then choose a contact from the car's system list and make it dial out on the Sensation handset. Also, when a call comes in from a contact stored in the list, the caller's name comes up on the car's display.

Maybe your car is older or has an older Bluetooth firmware, ask your dealer and they may be able to help. Otherwise, there are plenty of BMW user forums on the web and they often know a lot more about the car than your dealership!

HTH
[HTC Sensation] deliriousbb:
I have an 07 530i and a 09 X5. They both will not load the contacts. I previously had a G2 and Mytouch4g rooted CM7 and they both load the contacts. The HTC Sensation does not use the vanilla Bluetooth stack from android. HTC left out a few instructions in the stacks and also they customized a contacts to link other info, thus doesn't really upload the contacts to the car. If anyone knows a work around, I'd love to know...other than rooting. Fingers crossed, unlock bootloader is coming in Aug from HTC or if the awesome dev guys here can do it before then that's even better!
[HTC Sensation] gururise:
My Nexus One running CM7 works fine with my 2006 BMW 325i, I am able to see my contacts, make phone calls...

With my HTC Sensation, I see no phonebook on my BMW; however, I am able to make and receive phone calls through bluetooth.

Seems to agree with your theory that HTC made tweaks to the bluetooth contacts, which is why Sense ROMS have problems, yet AOSP roms do not.

Has there been any progress in getting the Sensation to sync contacts on the BMW?

[HTC Sensation] fishsupreme:
I have exactly the same problem on my 2007 335i. Bluetooth works as a headset only on all Sense ROMs (stock, Leedroid, Android Revolution HD) but works perfectly with full contacts sync on AOSP ROMs (which is what has me currently using CM7.)

It does seem to be a Sense issue -- and I've tried Sense 3.0 and 3.5, on Android 2.3.5 and 4.0.3, with no success on any of them. Even a Sense ROM with the Bricked or Faux kernels doesn't work, while an AOSP ROM with the same kernels does. I don't know what Sense does to Bluetooth, but I do wish it would stop it.

I currently have Nokia N900 and I am going to buy Samsung Galaxy S2 next month.

I have 7000+ SMS on Nokia N900 which want to import to SGS2.

Does any one know any tool which I can use to do it?

If there is no application available then can I do this:

1. The SMS on Nokia N900 (it has linux based OS) are stored in SQLite database and I can copy messages out from database as CSV, Excel etc.

2. Considering android has similar database for events like messaging / calls etc, can I import my messages via SQL?

What location and database is used to store SMS in android (specifically SGS2).

Can I access that database to insert data via (scripts etc)..

[Atrix 4G General] bubsnews:
New Atrix owner. Downloaded and installed the 'leaked' GB when it first came out, no rooting or unlocking.

Everything was fine until last night when all of a sudden my text notifications stopped. No sound and no notification light. I've checked, double checked and rebooted numerous times. Nothing helps.

I remember last night I was getting notifications from Google+ and so I turned those notifications off. Thought that might be it so I turned them back on, but still no text notifications. I had some music on my internal memory and recently purchased a 32GB SD card and put my music on that and so deleted the internal folder I had made for music. Thought maybe my ringtones were somehow in that folder and that is why no sound notifications, but all my settings check out. Am using Handcent for texts.

I'm at my wits end. Anybody have any ideas???

Thanks,

George

Just couldn't figure it out so tried uninstalling Handcent and put my settings into Go SMS Pro and notifications started working again.

Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know that there is a great new Honeycomb browser available in the market from the Dolphin team called Dolphin Pad.

[Acer Iconia A500] karlkarloff:
Just DLed it and spent the last 30 minutes putting it through its paces. One weird random close, but otherwise very smooth and fast. Does a good job even on CNN flash videos, and the gesture feature seems a bit more accurate than the 6.0 HD I was using.

So not for us with 10" tablets running Android 2.2? Shame.
[Acer Iconia A500] dictionary:
Dolphin HD I've noticed when you scroll down, you lose the tabs. With DolphinPad, they stay. Also, Fullscreen on Pad seems better, can't really describe it. Pad doesn't have that annoying gesture thing on the bottom either. Swiping side to side for shortcuts seems more fluid. Flash works well. Just seems much more optimized for the tablet. Settings layout is much better imho. Overall, Pad = Win in my eyes. I'm coming from the Asus Transformer, but I can only imagine similar performance for the Iconia.

It is a very promising browser and a distinct upgrade over Dolphin HD 6.

You can use it on FroyoBread, too. you can add widgets but no folders.
