[Wildfire Themes and Apps] seedy97:
If your on official rom like me, you will only get the HTC Sense launcher pre-installed as default, there is no stock Android launcher that you can switch between. That is why when you clear defaults you do not get an option (because there is only 1). Also just in case you wanted to know there is no way to install the stock launchers via 3rd party sites, doesn't work for some reason, Instead I recommend LauncherPro which is free on the market, once installed, press the home button, and this time you'll get an option popup! Hope I helped.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Mclaren193:
I thought it might have been something like that. I'll try launcher Pro, I tried the Ice Cream Sandwich 2.4 launcher from the other thread on this site and that's quite good. :)

Is there anyway of just getting rid of HTC Sense and just using Launcher Pro or something similar, or do they need HTC Sense to be installed to work?...

You solved my original question, so thanks for that.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] 3xeno:
This worked on the initial batches of the Wildfire, but, it didn't work anymore after that. So, now, as said, its only Sense Launcher. I am not getting exactly what your query is. By installing a launcher like LP/ADW, you will only get rid of the Sense Launcher and the Sense Widgets. But, the rest of the Sense framework will remain intact, and will function as normal. (Like the camera, contacts, messaging, dialer etc)

If you want to get rid of Sense in its entirety, your best bet would be an AOSP Custom ROM like DevNull/Cyanogenmod7 etc.
[Wildfire Themes and Apps] Mclaren193:
Yeah, I want to get rid of all of Sense, so i'll look into all this custom ROM stuff. :D

Thanks for the help.

[HD7 General] silvertonesx24:
Has anyone successfully replaced their TMobile HD7 on warranty? I am having a problem with the Zune locking up constantly and am hoping that new hardware could stop that problem as it doesn't seem to happen to everyone. When I called CS they just ran me around with "this isn't a documented issue blah blah" and forwarded me to the tech support who knew nothing about it.

How did you go about replacing your HD7 on warranty?
[HD7 General] jarbro:
I have successfully replaced my HD7 on warranty with no problem, but then again, I had insurance on my phone as well.

Hello,

my Spica is having this issue: (video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pdAtIBHYrAU)

after I unlock it I basically get one only chance to use the touchscreen and after it becomes insensitive.

It does not seem to be an hardware issue, but at the same time it does not make sense that there would be some software mulfaunction as I have just installed a fresh new rom.

Have you ever seen anything like this or are you familiar with this problem?

Thank you for your help.

[Motorola Triumph] primetechv2:
Wait, this ROM requires a /data wipe? That's different.

MMS is my least favorite smartphone feature by far... try GO SMS (it comes with built-in uploading) or just use URLy to put files online. Since we all know how lousy Virgin Mobile's MMS system is already.

Anyone else have data problems with miui? Its super solid with the exception that my data drops constantly.
[Motorola Triumph] crxmax:
i use juice defender. it cuts off data when the screen is off and restarts it when you turn the screen back on. thus resetting your 3g every time. not an actual "fix" but it makes the rom that much more usable
[Motorola Triumph] isaacj87:
MMS has been fixed. I've been sending and receiving all day today. Clean pics, I might add. :)

I've also went ahead and bumped us up to 1.10.14. It will be released soon.

I've been investigating some fixes for the data drop issue. I think I may have found something that might work. I'm going to try it first in CM7 and if it works, it should be applicable to MIUI as well.

Happy MIUI-ing guys.

P.S. I would make an "official" thread here, but it seems most Triumph users frequent Android Forums. I'll make an effort to keep an eye out here as well.
[Motorola Triumph] isaacj87:
I found something that might fix this problem (i.e. a real solution). Tickerguy also worked on a solution that seems to be working. He's going to test it for a couple days to confirm, but so far it looks good.

Once he shares his fix, I'll try and "code" (smali) it into MIUI.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] my3kgt:
Let me start by saying, I have searched all of the treads for my phone, and the ones suggested before posting a new one, with no luck. I also searched all over other sites for an answer, about 3 hours now, and still nothing that quite fits my problem..

I have a Verizon HTC Inc2

-running 2.3.4

-Virtuous Unity v2.39.0

The problem I keep running into is that whenever I flash a new rom, or do a factory reset with clockworkmod, I can never get my phone to send or recieve MMS. It always says, generic network failure. I have tried with the HTC messages app and handsent app, both failed. The data icon in the notification area usually does not even show activity. I tried wiping the cache several times, restarts, changing data and wifi settings but to no avail. Funny thing is, I can restore my phone to the first backup I made, Gingerbread 2.3.3, and then MMS works.

Any ideas as to what may be happening? I can give you any additional info you need or ask as well. I'm not a total noob, but I feel like one right now. I just can't figure this one out on my own. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
General Network Error is when the system returns an error stating that you have no connectivity to send a message or an MMS (at least from my experience w/ it). I have this issue a lot with any messaging on my end because of shoddy reception. Which other ROMs besides Virtuous are you flashing that are giving this error? I know for a fact the CM7 has been having a LOT of issues with data connectivity. The last ones I remember hearing about with working data is #79 (or was it #80, I can't remember) and #85 and for a few people, #92.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] my3kgt:
I do have plenty of reception, always around 2 to 3 bars. Sorry I worded that wrong in my post, Virtuous is the only and first rom I flashed. I did it because Verizon OTA updates kept freezing my phone and I would get the blue android with the !. What I meant was, even when I did a factory reset, my MMS wouldnt work. First time I got that error, I was able to use bootloader and make a backup of eberything, then did a factory reset/wipe data and thats when I first noticed MMS was not working. So I copied the backup to my laptop, did another factory reset and format SD card, then I copied the backup to my card again, and did a restore with that backup. I restored data, cache, system, and boot I believe, and everything was back to normal and MMS was working. Unfortunetly I kept getting the OTA updates and each time, same problem, so this morning I read on a forum that a custom rom would prevent OTA updates, so I flashed Virtuous. I just found it odd that a normal factory reset, with no custom rom, would prevent MMS.

One more thing, not sure if its related, but I keep recieving messages from #6250 that say "VZWNMN: 1." Google searched that, most responses in forums are people saying they get the same thing and that Verizon told them they know nothing about it..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] artvandelay440:
Have you tried a different radio?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] digitalsynner85:
People on CM were complaining of the same exact issue. They'd get bars of reception but MMS was just broken. I was just stating that when I try to send a message thru verizon and not google voice, I often get the same error message you're getting, which means that the data is being prevented from going out. I probably should've clarified that a little better lol. When you installed Virtuous, did you do a wipe data/cache and a wipe dalvik cache?

Also, if you restore back to your Gingerbread 2.3.3 that's rooted and your MMS is working fine there, then I don't believe it could be your radio. A possibility would be the kernel, but I doubt that Virtuous would package a kernel that would crash the MMS function. And since it's any SMS/MMS app, that knocks out the possibility of it being application based. The only thing I can suggest, would be to test out another ROM. If you're looking for sense based roms, go for BAMF's (http://www.teambamf.net) or Newt's Incredible 2 HD (http://www.themikmik.com). If you're looking for an AOSP based rom, go for CM7 (found on ROM Manager or at http://www.cyanogenmod.com) or MIUI (ROM Manager again, or http://www.miuiandroid.com). If you want a hybrid, I would suggest Skyraider Zeus (http://www.teambamf.net) or Gingersense (it can be found in the development portion of XDA). Remember when you flash a rom for the very first time, I'm sure you know this already, but you need to backup your rom first and then wipe data/cache and wipe your dalvik cache. Not doing either wipe before installing a brand new rom for the first time can cause unforseen errors.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] my3kgt:
Ok I found the answer while actually looking for new radios, so thanks for the post! haha

For all you out there who might run into the same problem, this is the solution I found..

Instructions to fix MMS (by xelsewherex)

1.Go to the market and download apn backup and restore (Market Link APN B&R).

2.Create a folder on your sdcard named APNBackupRestore if it doesn't exist already.

3.Copy this file, ht tp://db.tt/9Ao5ErR, to APNBackupRestore folder (If you aren't doing this on desktop, hit menu now in xda and choose browser. File is an xml and your phone will not know what to do with it. Long press the link and use 'save link'). This is an XML doc, sorry but since I'm new I can't just post a link, just remove the spaces between ht and tp.

4.Run APN Backup Restore and press Delete Apns and then Restore from the downloaded file.

5.You should be good to go from there. MMS should now work and the softkey lights do as well.

[HTC Sensation] 30000:
Hi all, I heard that SanDisk has just announced their first SDXC card ever, a 64GB Class 6 microSD card that is designed for smartphones and tablets. While I don't predict that anyone would own one in the near future, I also predict that when people do get their hands on them, HTC probably won't have updated their handsets to allow compatibility with them.

I'm guessing a lot of people already know this, but I'm sure that quite a few of the people here don't quite understand why SDXC cards aren't currently compatible with our phones, like SDHC or regular SD cards are.

It's because once a source of flash memory, such as a SD card, surpasses 32GB capacity, it is no longer efficient to use the current standard FAT32 file system on them. Instead, they must use exFAT, which supports MUCH higher transfer rates and capacities.

Good news: the hardware used to read SD/miniSD/microSD cards with a FAT32 format is perfectly compatible with cards of the exFAT format.

Bad news: the software on the device that serves as the card's host probably won't be compatible with the exFAT format at this time.

Fortunately, from what I understand, this can be solved with a simple software update that shouldn't involve whole changes to Android. In fact, the ability to read and write in the exFAT format was released as an optional update a couple months back for Windows PCs.

What I'm asking is, for all devs out there, how difficult (and/or practical) would it be to implement the ability to read/write in the exFAT format in your ROMs? Or at least, could a mod be made that allows exFAT compatibility?
[HTC Desire S] esbenm:
My wife installed some updates in the market and her phone froze on the Sense home screen. Removed the battery, and it now won't boot past the HTC logo.

It is on the factory/default Sense ROM, never rooted or anything, my wife has like 5 apps on it and still the stock Sense wallpaper :-)

It can boot into HBOOT, we tried the recovery option which showed the black screen with phone+green arrow animation for a few seconds. Then very shortly an image with a red arrow, then a reboot and still stuck on the HTC boot screen.

It does not show up in ADB, USB debugging is not on either.

My next thing to try would be a factory reset, is that likely to work?

Is there any way to get SMS'es and some game save games off the phone before resetting it?

Thanks for all suggestions!
[HTC Desire S] mimirom:
Well if your PC is not recognizing the phone, then there's not much you can try I guess (other then factory reset.) Maybe someone is gonna come up with something.

Aren't the gamesaves on your sd card?

There have been hardware issues associated with multiple downloads from the market and pulling the battery. This might or might not be the case. However you are covered with warranty in case it is.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If she created a HTC Sense account and had set it up to sync then her texts would have been saved online.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
If no other options download the corresponding to your region RUU (ROM Update Utility) from here. Then reboot to Bootloader (VOL DOWN + POWER Button). Make sure that you have HTC Sync installed. Go to fastboot screen (you should see FASTBOOT USB line). Start RUU.exe. It will handle everything automatically and hopefully you will have a brand new Stock system again.
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
If hard resetting dies not work, I'm afraid you may have a fries eMMC chip! It's very common when the phone freezes in maker updates and you pull the battery!
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Sorry to be offensive but stop with this crap it only scares people. I have rescued my phone twice already from the bootloop. The fried eMMC is the last consideration to be made after trying some reasonable solutions.
[HTC Desire S] Tectas:
An boot loop isn't

an real indicator for fried emmc, most of the times you just somehow messed up part of the software or the partitions, this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1292730 it's an really fried emmc.

Let's try some solutions before destroying any hope!

Swyped from my Desire S
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I'm not starting with 'crap' I'm simply saying what might be true.

It is well known that after hitting update all in the market, it leads to a fried emmc chip.

I have also been stuck on a bootloop many times (after flashing wrong kernels etc) and had to pull the battery. I also risked a fried emmc chip. I was just lucky I didn't get it fried, and I hope it doesn't happen again! *touch wood*
[HTC Desire S] skumara:
so, have you tried hard reset/factory reset. let us know what happen than. next time never pull out battery when your phone freeze. just press vol up + vol down + power button (all three hardware button) and the phone will restart. I personally had this problem few times and able to recover my device. start with hard reset your phone.

look at ben_pyett signature. you need the adb+fastboot and htc drivers for your windows pc to detect your device. I'm using linux and I don't need those drivers.
[HTC Desire S] amidabuddha:
Ok to be more specific: I have already rescued my phone from a bootloop with all the indications for a "fried eMMC" described in some threads in this forum. Also me and Tectas assisted several people accross the forum these days to revive their phones from the "fried eMMC" (some successful, some not). Anyway all of these users had the info that they eMMC is fried and were terrified. But a Bricked and Fried phone are totally different stuff. So if you post to help is OK, but when you post to scare this isn't.
[HTC Desire S] esbenm:
Update: thanks for all the suggestions. I couldn't get any of it to work, including factory reset.

We are going to send the phone in for a warranty repair, most of her personal stuff is on her Google account or the SD card, so no major problems.

The HTC Sense website with SMS backup never worked for her, there is no option to log in from the phone.

As much as i love Android I am shocked that hitting "update all" in the market and/or pulling the battery can brick a 400 $ phone. Even buggy old Windows ME was fine if you pulled the pover cord.

My iPhone friends will laugh at me well into 2012 if I tell them this.

Do HTC have more faults than other brands? Both our Desires have had trouble. I am about to upgrade mine, maybe should look at another brand?
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
There is some hope!

+1

I'm afraid that I must agree.

In the early days of this problem, I too was probably guilty of announcing too early to users "that's you've fried your eMMC chip - that's a warranty return" where as over time we've now come to believe that this still a chance of hope, albeit not great or guaranteed, but none the less, fortunately several people have managed to recover from this situation, by a variety of means.

So even though the possible outcome might not be likely, I think that we should attempt to always suggest that there might be hope at least until we've tried all the possible solutions and now luckily the various users have compiled guides of the suggested options so this isn't that difficult.

The only time when I'd suggest that a user should probably instantly return a device, is if they are completely non technical or have a brand new device which is still S-ON. In which case they may as well return the device under warranty and get a replacement device or motherboard which will at least contain the non dubious/faulty chip, and will remove the possibility of future occurrence completely - so they'll actually be better off for the future!

Sorry to hear this. You were just unfortunate and what happened to you is rare, also it's not a fault of Android but, a HTC eMMC chip hardware issue caused by a particular dodgy version of the eMMC chip that comes on some of these phones.

I believe that HTC realised the fault and replaced the chip with another make after a fashion. So hopefully you'll get the different chip on your replacement device/motherboard.

I also think that they've changed the market application so that it downloads one application after rather than all the applications together, which was known to cause a device freeze, which often was followed by a battery user battery pull - which then led to this problem.

Next time... Never pull the battery! there are always other options.

Take care and good luck.
