[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
I jumped the gun the other day and installed "Temple Run", but it was the just the latest 'fake' version: When I went to go uninstall it, I noticed two additional apps that it must've auto-installed as well (some TV streaming app and some 'rate it' app). I immediately uninstalled them as well, and never used either of those apps whatsoever.

Ever since then, I've been getting a BUNCH of random calls (from two different local area codes) from numbers I don't know. I was curious about them, so I looked them up: Every single one of them is a Harshad number.

I don't know what to do:

I haven't answered one yet, but somehow, someway, it seems like they're trying to get more information.

Btw, I know it's from installing that fake app because I actually put it on my girlfriend's phone too, and she just started getting the same random calls too.

Anybody else dealt with this, or know of anything I can do? ( I really don't wanna change my number: I've had it for about 10 years).

Help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Do a full wipe and then register on the National No Call list.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingdazy:
That's a bummer to hear.

Personally, i'm a bit surprised that so many people (in the news-blog-osphere) are falling for the fake-version scam, with this app.

I've played it and I don't see the hype. Literally boring as f*ck.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] TurboFool:
Explain what you mean about it being a "Harshad number?"

And when did you install it on your girlfriend's phone versus yours? I'm not convinced that that alone is proof that it was a result of installing the app.

Even so, I can't imagine what help we could provide. There's nothing software-related you can do to get someone to stop calling you. But I imagine after a little time with no results they'll give up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
first odin a full stock tar.

then do a ##786# reset. you need msl for this.

786 reset WILL wipe your internal storage(not SD card).

format sd card for good measure. backup only files you know are safe.. pics.. etc.

hopefully your number isn't on some sort of list.. its possible there's a background service sending sms etc.. the wipe should take care of it all. it may be extreme.. but better safe than sorry ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] yourbrotherrex:
A harshad number, by definition, is any number whose sum of total digits is evenly divisible into the original number.

When dealing with harshad numbers that are phone numbers, they are free, untraceable numbers that are commonly used by scammers/phishers to get your personal information.

I installed the app on her phone about two minutes after I put it on mine: she was leaving for work, and I hadn't even run the app on my phone yet: neither of our phones have ever had the issue before...so I'm convinced it was from installing it.:(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
Correct and a nightmare. Sorry dude. I mean the damage is done in some ways.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Lock-N-Load:
I dont know as I dont care that much BUT for just rooters I wonder if something like Voodoo Root Keeper could be used to unroot, trick system to watch, reroot. I doubt it, but might be worth 25 cents to find out.

Just rented a 25cents movie on a rooted/unlocked device.

You can rent it, but when trying to view it says video playback is not supported on a rooted device. So unfortunately it is true.

I can watch it on a rooted device, I am rooted right now on my TFP and watch plenty of movies without having to unroot.

The question was the bootloader unlock, apparently that is the flag that stops it. That is why I have not yet taken that step.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
It should work if you use rootkeeper and temporarily unroot
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mick3444:
can anyone confirm that temporarily unrooting allows you to watch a movie while the boot loader is still unlocked???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Here are some links where it tells you on the kindle fire if you temp unroot you can stream videos again. I'm pretty sure same applies to other android devices.

You can thank drm and the mpaa for that. Google just does what they HAVE to do to provide the service, it's unfortunate that the recording /movie industry was so resistant to the Internet and blind to the opportunity that it had to come to this.

For the record... I am rooted ONLY, no unlocked bootloader. I know it is not the precise asked question, but I thought valuable nevertheless.

I just rented American Psycho.. it streams/plays perfect

I just downloaded it (Make Available Offline).... it played perfect
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ttav:
Yeah it worked fine for me (rooted) until i unlocked the bootloader.Ended up watching the movie on my unlocked/rooted Sensation.

It`s a pain but i unlocked knowing this would happen.....hoping some dev can find a work-around.

Correct, as originally stated:

Rooted Only - Works with no problem, streaming or download.

Bootloader Unlocked - No longer works.

I could not find an answer to this by searching the forums. I tried.

And I know this is going to be embarrassing but......

When reading Tweets from xda dev: when I get to the comment section after the article: all the comments have only the header of the column and not the actual member's written comments.

I know this must be an easy fix but I'm just not thinking outside the box.

Thanks in advance.

[Kindle Fire General] jlocohustler:
I installed the Energy ROM from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1528024 a few hours ago and everything worked well. I used the kindle a little and decided to charge it up, so, I plugged in the AC adapter and let it charge for like 1 hour.

When I come back, the adapter is all hot, like unusually hot. The led was red, which means the kindle was charging. Now I unplug it and hit the power button and nothing happens! :eek: Nothing, like no led, no nothing. I long-press it and still nothing. I press and let go a couple times and still nothing!

What does this mean? Is my Kindle fried? Because of a ROM!? What can I do now? Please help me :(:(:(

EDIT:

Ok, I fixed the problem. It looks like the Kindle Fire was overheating while connected to the AC adapter. So, I let it lay down a fan for a while and I tried to turn it on and it did. Very dangerous ROM that one, I think I'm going to get CM7 or something until this issue gets fixed.
[Kindle Fire General] BluesHawk:
Unfortunately for now all ICS ROMs have the potential to have that happen if you leave your KF on for extended periods of time when you aren't using it. The widely held solution to that is to shutdown when you know you won't be using it for a while such as while charging or when you go to bed.
[Kindle Fire General] snoopluca:
If it's fried I don't believe that depends of a rom.... I think it was the fault of the AC adapter...try to charge the KF with another adapter...
[Kindle Fire General] dnathan13:
Don't go flaming a ROM when it is a great rom, that is a good way to run a dev off from our community. I have been running the rom since it came out with no issues other than the standard HWA and other listed bugs. Many people have had the same results as me and most of the people who haven't it was because of a bad download and/or a bad flash. The rom is no more dangerous than the general process of rooting and customizing is. Did you get a log cat of what happened at all? Or do any sort of searching for a solution of what caused the issue so on the very slight chance it is a bug it could be fixed?

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:32 PM ----------

It shouldn't overheat, just freeze and force a hard restart (hold power button for about 20 seconds then turn on). If it is overheating there is something else going on like the AC adapter or some sort of major malfunction from a bad flash. Most likely the AC adapter though.
[Kindle Fire General] jlocohustler:
I believe there's some misconception here. I didn't flame or try to hurt the reputation of the dev or anything. I just posted about an issue and I'm sure, like any other issue, more people must have encountered it. Most people come to find solutions on forums, so, I believe I did the right thing by starting this thread.

Did you even read my OP? I posted an update long before you replied...

EDIT:

AC adapter is fine. Used it just fine on stock ROM before flashing to the new ROM.
[Kindle Fire General] dnathan13:
Yes I read the op where you claim... "very dangerous rom that one" that is the part that I would say is harsh.

Many people have been running the show rom for days with no issues, but one or two people claiming it will overheat and kill their fire is all it takes for everyone to start bashing a rom and make a dev want to leave.

Sorry I came off as a jerk I just get upset when claims are made based on one bad experience that could have been caused by a number of things (bad flash, left over bits of stock conflicting with rom, lack of knowledge of ICS issues about screen timeout, kernel issue ratjer than rom issue although related, etc...)
[Kindle Fire General] ttakacs:
No over-heating problems at all for me -- I installed Kang ICS ROM three days ago.
[HTC Sensation] aidanski:
I have just received the notification for the new ICS update. I recommend all UK users to check via About phone > Software updates > Check now.
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Ahhhhhh! Where's mine?!:mad:
[HTC Sensation] west2cool:
Got it since yesterday
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
nothing on stock unbranded Sensation in the UK
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
What network are you on? My handset is unbranded but is this pushed via the carrier?
[HTC Sensation] aidanski:
I'm on giffgaff which runs on the o2 network, and my sensation is factory unlocked, so I presume it is being rolled out by o2.
[HTC Sensation] UKseagull:
Still nothing on my unbranded sim free XE using an O2 sim. I'm an Elevate member too. :eek:
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
No, yours should be sent out by HTC.

It was SIM Free?
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
I'm on 02 as well, have been checking since the news yesterday but nothing so far, anyway to check if the phone is branded or not? Its on contract but I'm not sure if its branded
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
I think you can check with your CID but not sure how, otherwise if you have logos like the O2 animation on boot-up or operator specific apps i.e. 'bloatware' then it's likely to be branded.

If you got it on contract from O2 direct then I'm guessing it would be branded, if it was from somewhere like Dial a Phone but on a Vodafone contract for instance, it's likely to be unbranded.
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
Got it indirectly, so I think it should be unbranded, thanks for the help,

I would S-off my phone but I recently got it and I'm not very good with all this stuff so decided to wait and I don't even know what the implications will be for S-off
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Ota updates are rolled out by HTC - the operator only has a say if the ROM on the phone is branded
[HTC Sensation] jamiee6610:
As far as i can see i got an umbranded xe from tmobile?

Just hope they have done a good job with this?
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Still nothing........
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Nothing on my unbranded simfree sensation till now.

Wats ur software version, cause I got mines 2 days ago, I'm not on elevate. Unbranded on T-Mobile

I've got 1.50.401.1 unbranded sensation UK and nothing HURRY UP AND RELEASE IT HTC! Haha

I was on wat u r on and I got it
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Fumin. Been waiting ages on this
[HTC Sensation] Poshfc:
Nope, nothing yet :(
[HTC Sensation] sleepymonk:
Maybe HTC are doing updates in batchs...Serial number or someother way to stop everyone updating at same time and crashing server..

and if you have branded phone doesnt the software have togo to the network carrier first and they do there bit and if the network decided it worth releasing then send it back to HTC for release..so that might even be longer

My Hero was a lock network phone and it never got a update to the lastest firmware i had to unbranded and then do update myself.
[HTC Sensation] hpsauce37:
im in uk with what i think is an unbranded xe supplied by orange (it has no logos or orange software on it anywhere)

I get nothing when i try the ota update however my phone is rooted but running the standard xe software now as i couldnt find any of the custom roms that were not bug free enough for me to stick with them.

Is this the reason why i dont get the ota notification? Do i need to put my device back to being completly stock ie no root etc?

can this update not be done by connecting to htc sync?

thanks

---------- Post added at 01:36 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

My software version is 1.73.401.4 if this makes any difference

kernel version 2.6.35.13-g2299e28

baseband 11.653504.00u_11.19.3504.29_2

not sure what any of this really means but can someone maybe explain it to me

[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:

At least with this update you can still s-off (sort of)... unlike the wildfire 2.2 update
[HTC Sensation] jamiee6610:
1.73.401.4 is my version?
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Anyone notice any battery life improvement on ics?
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
Still no ICS ON MY unbrandad simfree sensation ...... How long we all have to wait?
[HTC Sensation] ajftl:
I thought the xe was gonna get sense 4.0. Wondering if the xl would get since comes with sense 3.6 already. Anyway. I doubt it.
[HTC Sensation] Spence1115:
My update came through on Thursday afternoon, and whilst I am using an Anker battery, the battery life has improved dramatically for me since the update. 16 hours of usage today away from the charger, and it only dropped to 49%. Usually by that point it was complaining of low battery all the time. Big improvement.
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Still waiting! Anyone else using xe on orange that's got it?
[HTC Sensation] marmin:
Got bored of waiting for mine on an unbranded xe on Orange so did the S-off thing and installed it myself :D
[HTC Sensation] Timmey92:
What does S-OFF do? WIll you loose warranty? Can you turn it back to S-ON later?

When flashing the OTA manually, can you still receive new OTA updates?
[HTC Sensation] marmin:
I'm not really an expert, but have rooted desire etc. S-off is very simple if you do the unrevoked method (the only thing missing from their instructions is to change from Disk drive/charging to HTC sync on the phone). Its not as scary as rooting. Would imagine its reverible but in my experience they never check for that in warranty, they would just revert to factory. Again not sure about the future OTA updates, but lets face it if its this easy to flash a STOCK OTA manually, would you ever wait again?
[HTC Sensation] stewalker:
Got sick of waiting for fota so I flashed. I have to say though it is much better than 2.3. Feels like a new phone. Really really smooth. Some nice little additions so sense aswell.
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
I mailed HTC after getting fed up of constantly pressing that 'check now' button

"I cannot give you an exact date you will get the update as the server will send the update to 30.000 devices at a time, then move to the next batch. It is impossible to say when you will get the update. The update is currently being sent to all unbranded models of this device if you have a branded handset this will take some time more to come through to you.

The roll out process takes 6-8 weeks. You could receive the update anywhere in this time, providing you are unbranded."

Let's just hope were in the next batch :)
[HTC Sensation] donwhann:
I'm on o2 and according to their twitter, were getting it early April, I can wait.....
[HTC Sensation] Pikabat:
How many unbranded Sensations do you think are out there in the wilds ?:D
[HTC Sensation] cruks:
I have an unbranded Sensation Xe but im currently in the Philippines. Hoping i get the update too.
[HTC Sensation] jonyid:
I wonder what order they're doing it in whether it be imei, serial number or date registered?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Usually based on IMEI
[HTC Sensation] alrius2000:

still checking everyday :D
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Today is OTA server responding very quickly to requests that could mean just two things:

1) they have added some HW

2) they stopped pushing new notifications so server is just answering to already assigned deviced into queue. Yesterday when OTA has been distributed to some Asia countries it takes several seconds to answer and today it is immediate..

See my post at the top of page 6 ;)

To everyone currently 'waiting' - S-OFF, flash manually, S-ON again. You've lost nothing and you have the update and can then get the next one as and when it arrives
[HTC Sensation] BobKatz:
Bolloxs! It’s a matter of principle now! Satan will be calling into work to say he can’t come in because of snow disrupting the trains before I S-off!!!
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Why to go back to S-ON ? Just for purist ? AFAIK there is no easy way at this time to S-OFF after upgrade so why to remove this benefit?
[HTC Sensation] Der_Oix:
so people still have their warranty?!
[HTC Sensation] rkafka:
Yap ! .. I'm afraid no :(
[HTC Sensation] Der_Oix:
why wouldn't they? how would HTC be able to proove, that it has been 'S-Off-ed' ?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
The people complaining are S-ON cause they don't want to flash a custom ROM. I agree, leaving it S-OFF would be beneficial but if they want to be 100% stock but don't wanna wait for the OTA they have to S-OFF first and S-ON again once the OTA has been applied
[HTC Sensation] Der_Oix:
so i could S-Off my Sensation, flash the update, then put it S-On again without any fear of getting 'busted' ? :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
Indeed you could!
[HTC Sensation] jasminthoria:
But if you don't follow the procedure correctly you may endup bricking ur phone.
[HTC Sensation] Der_Oix:
if only i find a guide to s-on my phone again, found EddyOS' post about flashing the ota, but i don't have a clue how to s-off (should be easy to google it) nor to s-on (can't find anything :( )

edit: EddyOS helped me and gave me a link :)
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
S-OFF guide also has the part to S-ON again, just don't flash CWM when it asks you to
[HTC Sensation] qwdi:
Sorry if this has already been asked, but will using the method to flash the update manually that EddyOS has mentioned wipe all data from the phone?

Also should I make a 'nandroid backup' of my stock phone before flashing the update, and is this possible without a custom recovery?

Thanks
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
OTA updates don't wipe the phone
[HTC Sensation] qwdi:
thanks, would there be any reason for me to make a nandroid backup before using your method? also if I decide to in the future, is it easy to install a custom recovery and custom roms using the normal methods after flashing the ics update?
[HTC Sensation] EddyOS:
You can do, before you flash the stock recovery (as without it the OTA won't work)
[HTC Sensation] scotcruz:
Cannae wait, its frustrating...

PS. The threads about ICS in 10 days and end of March were as suspected a pure joke !!
[HTC Sensation] LilChinchster:
What's funny here is... HTC won't push OTA to us so when we root and flash OTA we lose the warranty... It all seems very well planned out...
