Because it seems like a ****ty attempt to get referral awards.
[Off-topic] SoraX64:
The point of their giving referral awards is to get more people to tell others about the game. He could have just given a link to the game, for what you get from clicking on it. But he also gets some sort of reward, for sharing it with other people.

By your attitudes, I would have to assume that you think that ALL postings of referral links are poor attempts to get awards.

Well.. the point of posting the link for the user is to get rewards, and the point of giving the rewards for the developer is to get more people to play the game so.. I don't see what's wrong here.

Maybe he just wants to share the game?
[Off-topic] ceyo14:
People he even said its a referral link. Its not deceiving or anything. And he also told the games name. If you don't want to click it... Google it...
[Off-topic] mnomaanw:
Agree, nothing is wrong here ...... OP clearly states what he posted , he might give you codes as he said.... There is nothing you will lose if you join with his link. You can Google or search YouTube about the game. It looks decent IMO.

[HTC One X] eteyen1:
Hi there,

for anyone using Go SMS pro on their HOX, are you contacts pictures showing up at all?

For some reason, none of my contacts pictures show up in my contact list on go sms, even though they show up on the stock app. I've turned it on in the settings and even ticked in the facebook settings that I want the pictures displayed but nothing at all. Its not just fb pics that arent showing, nothing at all. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC One X] Pr1nce5st:
You have to either use photos from your phone or download an app like HAXSYNC and upload the photos from there... For whatever reason Facebook for Sense photos don't show in GoSMS or other 3rd party apps...

U have to go thru your contacts one by one and modify the photos either choosing a photo in your gallery of the facebook photo from HAXSYNC account...

Giant pain in the ass but it works...
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
So I take it this is a Sense 4 issue then? Cause I never had that problem with other versions of sense
[HTC One X] tcjaym:
The pics all show up fine on my go sms. Didnt have to install any other apps
[HTC One X] bufodill:
I have a similar problem with sony ericssons life contacts widget.

It worked flawlessly on my GN, showing me pretty pictures of my most popular contacts. But on the one X, no... even though I'm using nova launcher.
[HTC One X] eteyen1:
Is this google and/or facebook contacts? What are your settings regarding pictures and facebook?
[HTC One X] DonDeyv:
did HaxSync work properly with your FB account?

I have about 300+ contacts on fb, and HaxSync only syncs about 120 of them. The official fb app syncs all of the contacts which have FB (ca. 280)...
[HTC One X] FusionTechFTS:
I had all my contact pics in GoSMS fine until the 1.82 update on my att hox. They won't sync now. It's annoying. I'd rather not install a 3rd party app especially since it was working on the phone once.

Edit- so, I cleared fb Data, removed it with es file explorer. Reinstalled from market and no go.
[HTC Inspire 4G] anntoria:
With all the newer phones for HTC coming out, is the HTC Inspire still a good a buy?
[HTC Inspire 4G] watt9493:
I just purchased a thunderbolt. They're basicly the same device. Yes, its still a great buy. Throw cm7 or ics sense on it and call it a day.

Sent from my ADR6400L
[HTC Inspire 4G] slapshot30:
Give us more info. Do you have an upgrade coming up or something? It's still a good phone that runs android relatively smooth. But there are many better offerings.
[HTC Inspire 4G] graewulf1:
Sure it's a real solid phone, but if you're upgrading from the carrier and getting their discount I'd go for newer technology personally. I won't be replacing my inspire till it dies or I find a ROM that needs a faster processor, but I don't think i'd actually buy one new.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mateusm:
Honest opinion, as much as I'd like to get a new phone (one x), my inspire suplies me with everything I expect from a smartphone, but if I were to upgrade from, say a OG Droid or something from those parameters, I'd get a newer phone.
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
I've had my Inspire since Feb 2011 and I still love it. Since you can probably get one for next to nothing now, it's a great buy. But I agree that if I was going to upgrade right now I'd get one of the newer devices to maximize my discount.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rdw55a:
Inspire 4G

I have had my inspire since June of last year. It was my first Android phone coming from an iPhone and I love it. It does everything I ask of it and is very hackable. I have lost track long ago of the number of different Roms I have try ed on it and it seems to keep getting better. And since I will not be able to get an upgrade from AT&T till January I'll just keep trucking with it and enjoying it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] StockDC2:
I traded my Titan 2 for an Inspire (+ cash) and I'm so happy. The phone is EXCELLENT! To me, the default GB ROM with Sense was super ugly and reminded me of my old HD2 when it was running on Windows 6.5. So within an hour of having the phone, I rooted it and put ICS on it and I can proudly say, the Inspire is here to stay :D.
[HTC Inspire 4G] yokozuna82:
I sold my new galaxy note for 500$ and bought an inspire for 160$.... I'm happy with the decision
[HTC Inspire 4G] C2fifield:
I thoroughly enjoy this phone, but with all of the new and fancier ones coming out, I would lean towards those. Then again I like to mess with things a lot, so if you're looking simply for a solid phone, the Inspire definitely fits that description.
[HTC Inspire 4G] theyhateflee:
I enjoy the phone if you one of those people like me who doesn't mind not having a front camera then I'd say go for it I've personally flashed a ics ROM but that's just me
[HTC Inspire 4G] dylando808:
For a phone of this age (by today's standards), it still is a worthy device. I had my phone running stock for the first 6 or 7 months i had it. Didn't slow down at all. And the amount of development going into it is pretty crazy so there's no way you can get bored once you root :P
[HTC Inspire 4G] Hjacks:
It's a good phone, one of the best that I ever had.

Also I ear good news from HTC that the HTC desire HD (sister of the Inspire) will be receiving the ICS update!!! And hopefully, one of the developers will be able to port this into to the HTC Inspire 4g :D
[HTC Inspire 4G] NOOB1212:
I have a HTC Inspire 4G and it still is a really good Phone; However, better phones have become or will become available in the near future. It really comes down to your preference. Samsung, HTC, and Motorola all have really good phones out now so search around and find a phone that fits your needs and get that one.
[HTC Sensation] Sigg1996:
The last month or so I have a problem with my phone rebooting constantly when the CPU gets stressed when cold. I am barely able to make a call after I have been outside for a while, and I'll have to wait for it to get warm again.

I have tried several different ROM's and several different Kernels, but the problem persists.

BTW: This is not "extreme" temperatures, it's around -5*C to +3*C. This is what I find really weird, because I didn't have this problem earlier this winter (when -20*C is normal.)

Any suggestions on what could be causing the problem?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] nkewk:
sounds really wierd o_O
[HTC Sensation] deano309:
Possibly moisture inside the phone which is condensating once it gets warm?!

Stick it on top of a radiator for a few hours and also get it a case - that's the best advice I can offer!

Hope this helps :)
[HTC Sensation] Sigg1996:
Thank you! Sounds logical so I'm gonna try that :D

[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
Since having S-off I went to install another rom and could not get my phone to boot up. After finally using adb to wipe device and all partition I had to also use adb to re-install recovery. I have tried to flash every rom on here without success using cwm and ext 4 recovery. I'm not a noob and am very experienced in adb and can not get my phone past the HTC screen nomatter what I do. Anyone else in the same boat.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hasoon2000:
Try and flash a kernel in fastboot after flashing a ROM.
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
Incorrect. The first prerequisite on the instructions says "Be unlocked using the HTCdev bootloader unlock"
[HTC Amaze 4G] jcorv58:
Who needs sleep when we have s-off, right? I went ahead and did it anyway, success after about 5 tries. Thanks again for sending the file. Anyone else accidentally slip and trigger the flash? Lol, I thought maybe I had a stroke at that point :o everything seems to be working still, although I get slow startup with sense now...?
[HTC Amaze 4G] 2kwic25:
try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1612451 instead of adb worked for me after i got s-off and couldnt boot or flash the kernal as hassoon said
[HTC Amaze 4G] mrmako777:
Once you have s-off, you DO NOT need an unlocked bootloader. Maybe I misunderstood the way he presented the question...or maybe you did. Either way, you don't need an unlocked bootloader if you have s-off
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
I have tried all of the above....even before I posted. Somethings not right. Never had problems like this. I have flashed the hell out of over twenty phones hundred of times. Can't get it to boot. Should have left it alone S-on was actually not that big a deal it worked then.
[HTC Amaze 4G] electronicrice:
Well obviously you don't need to unlock the bootloader again once you have S-Off, but it must be done first in order to use Control Bear. The way I read it was that instead of unlocking the bootloader through HTCDev, could he just bypass that and go straight to S-Off. And my reply was that no, you need to unlock the bootloader first in order to S-Off the device.

Anyway, I don't really care, was just trying to correct any misunderstanding.
[HTC Amaze 4G] hyperkamote:
Read my previous Post here.. Happened exactly the same, just try to flash other roms and recovery combination.. for mine what i did is using Mike's ROM version 1.1.0 and the official Clockwork by Kush.. recover my phone for not booting... just make sure have a plenty of charge since Kush's recovery have a broken charging while off..
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:
What version of 4EXT have you used to try this? You tried what hasoon suggested (rebooting to bootloader after flashing rom and using the kernel flasher from PC)? What kind of "wire" did you use when getting S-OFF?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Pulsewave:
so is it just me, or is the wire trick a pain in the neck to pull off? i got a nice short piece of solid core insulated wire and still cant get it right...

on top of that my phone refuses to boot now, just goes right to the download sign, hboot still works so i guess i can always re RUU it worst case

any tips?

E: of course the moment I complain is the moment it finally works, awesome!
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
I have tried every recovery every rom from here and x's site with no luck. I did install the modified hboot during s-off don't know if that related to those having problems and those not.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ziggy46:
what kind of wire did you use? if it was un-insulated you could have shorted the phone...

also, didnt you say you formatted the partitions? could you have scrambled the partiton tables? :confused:
[HTC Amaze 4G] dmunseyautotech:
Insulated wire. The phone booted up fine after the process. Used it for an hour or so. After that went to instal another rom and now nothing will work. I appreciate the feedback, but I have tried everything that has been mentioned before I started posting. Tried every recovery, every rom, tried flashing from adb, flashing from amaze tool with different recoverys and different kernels, wiping and rebooting between each. Going to bed now. I think my amaze days are over been nothing but a hassle. On the bright side my phone is S-OFF....lmfao

20 awg solid core wire you can get from home depot ( doorbell wire) . cut a long piece so you have about 6 inches and you can do it easy.
[HTC Amaze 4G] MildewMan:

HOW TO DUMP YOUR HBOOT

Run the commands below using ADB:

cd c:\adb

adb shell

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p12 of=/sdcard/hboot.img

[HTC Amaze 4G] djxspike:
It works don't give up and be patient

Worked just fine for me... Took me a good solid thirty minutes of trying, but it worked!!!!

I used a small coated paper clip with the ends stripped off and bent so I could easily touch the ground (which is the metal piece that holds the SD card in place - no one ever specified, I had to figure it out).

The part that was throwing me off was that you have to touch ONCE UNTIL you hear the Windows USB "beep" noise then wait the 1.75 seconds and THEN touch it again.

It took me quite a bit too.

I was using one piece of telefone type wire with just the tips touching both places (only like 1/8" stripped on both ends) and it didn't work until I was getting a bit restless so I peeled almost an inch of the wire on the side that goes to ground and made a little loop so more surface contacted the metal there and it worked.
