[General Questions and Answers] 619619:
I've tried with "search" but I cannot match the keyword ....

So, there was a time when restoring your contacts from pimbackup was harmful to the sms app, I cannot send text message longer than 160 chars (I can send them, no errors, but they are not received)

Anyone knows how to solve this issue? I've this bug on my HD2 from various roms, so, I think that it's related with the stored contacts :rolleyes:

Maybe there's something with the tags that HTC Sense stores in the "notes" tab of each contact, in this case, there is a way to wipe all the notes of each contact automatically?
[General Questions and Answers] Mark Crouch:
Oh yes you can!!!

As far as I know, it's nothing to do with you having imported contacts etc. from PIMbackup......it's just the way it goes.... :)

By default, the messaging application is set to "use Unicode when necessary" which results in long messages being broken into several chunks of 160 characters or less. The messages are delivered (eventually) to the recipient, but their order is not guaranteed.

To "fix" the problem, go to the Messaging tab, tap All Messages, then Menu, then Settings, then Options and un-tick the "Use Unicode when necessary" option, tap Done.....and that's it - problem "fixed"!!

Now, when you send a long message, it is sent as a whole message to your network where it is broken up into 160 char chunks before being sent. The recipient, assuming their network supports long SMS messages, receives your message just as you sent it.

Hope that helps,

Mark.

PS. There is some sort of history to this "feature"; back in days of the HTC Hermes (and others), having Unicode switched on meant that you could only send 70 characters even though the messaging app thought you'd used 160 characters. People were sending a 150 char message and getting charged for three messages - two of 70 chars and one of 10 chars....:o
[General Questions and Answers] 619619:
Thanks man;

My network supports long sms, but I can't seem to be able to send them anyway :/

I'll make another test

Edit: Nope, no luck, they are not received, and the target can receive sms longer than 160chars, for sure

I am SURE that there was a bug with restoring contacts with some sense/manila bug, I've read about it right here, on XDA
[General Questions and Answers] 619619:
Sorry for the double post, but I've foud out that it's an issue with stored contacts;

I've tried to send an sms to myself, and I received it with no problems...
[General Questions and Answers] neol:
I too am facing the this issue (HTC HD2 TMOUS) with sending sms more than 160 characters. this is not related to stored contacts in my case.

I did a hard reset and tried to send a sms more than 160 characters still facing same issue. I tried with 3 different Network Operators, still the same persists. However I have no problem with sending sms lesser than 160 characters. Anyone found a fix for this ?

P.S.: I know its a old thread, but... no fix yet.

Hopefully they can use this for missions, plant a rocket on top with targeting software and get a bad guy.

For example finding Bin Laden in those caves. Lets give the families of 9-11 closure and get this guy already.

Think of the possibilities if they can add speech recognition like the ones used on the Dream, then driving in the future with a simple command is quite possible while you sit comfortably inside your vehicle.

Also, think of how people with disabilities can be benefited with such technology.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] HumpDdumpD:
I think you need to find your way over to the g1 specific forums. They have a few roms if you root your g1 that have 2.1, if I'm correct the g1 doesn't have enough space to officially take the 2.1 update. 1.6 is the highest ota update you'll get....

Side note after running some of the 2.1 roms on my g1, I found the 1.6 roms to be more compatible & work a little more smoothly. 2.1 looks sweet on the nexus though :-D

I have just received this:-

"Hi,

We are receiving this handset is in stock as of tomorrow, 30th March.

Is this okay to charge your card now & ship the item out to you please?

Regards,

Prepaymania"

OMG! OMG! OMG! SIM-free, unlocked, ROM-updated (presumably :D) HTC Desire on it's way! And £373 inc. postage as well! Woohoo!!
[Desire General] shawon007:
What store?

EDIT: I see lol
[Desire General] LittleMiss27:
Sim free stock has been available from cpw since yesterday
[Desire General] nubbin:
Yes, ahem, err, got a little over-excited there. :D

I pre-ordered on 3rd. March, and was told earlier today by phone that stock wouldn't be available until 12th. April, so getting that message today was rather unexpected!

I am assuming it means we'll all be getting our phones very soon as the ROM issue has been sorted. I think it's reasonable to get a little giddy! I'm better now :cool:
[Desire General] LittleMiss27:
I can totally understand your excitement, got mine today and all i've done since 4pm is sit and play with it. It really is awsome :D
[Desire General] nubbin:
Did you really mean to say that? ;)

Sorry. I'll get me coat. :D
[Desire General] carrige:
Exciting news :D :D

Hope Clove will ship out soon too...

:D
[Desire General] firedup:
Says its 439 on there?
[Desire General] K 7:
Well it doesn't show any stock at prepaymania.co.uk... It takes only PRE-ORDER...
[Desire General] mib_asd:
are you outside the uk?

because on their web-site phone costs £439 inc VAT

http://www.prepaymania.co.uk/mobilephone/htc-desire-bravo-unlocked.html

so think yours is without VAT
[Desire General] nubbin:
When I was looking earlier this month, I noticed a website quoting the £373.81 price on PrePayMania (which includes VAT and free delivery) , and pre-ordered at that price. It went up to £439 the very next day, so I got in at a very good price. I am U.K. based. I don't know if they will be changing the website, but the above quote is directly copied from the e-mail I received at 5.40p.m. U.K. time. So excited I can't sleep!

Have to say, PrePayMania have been unfailingly polite and courteous, and a pleasure to deal with by e-mail and phone, and sent me an e-mail confirmimg my price even after they'd increeased it on their website. Top marks to them.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
Anyone heard from Clove yet? Last I heard they charged my card (Monday) but no update on shipping yet.
[Desire General] ohyeahar:
You should email them about it. Perhaps they dispatched your order already. I placed my order at Clove on 8 Mar. My card has not been charged yet. But then I also ordered the Legend which is supposed to start shipping tomorrow. So that may have something to do with it.
[Desire General] RPeco:
Device Wire

Hi guys, my first post here. I have ordered from Device Wire, £397 altogether, and my card was charged straight away. They are saying that stock will be in 7th April, their latest update (via twitter) said "There are no UK Desire's available".
[Desire General] irkan:
how they can charge your card and the shipment is not ready? this shouldnt be the way right?

and clove still say they will get theirs 7th of April (in the website)
[Desire General] daverave999:
I'm still waiting to hear from clove too, though their emails seem to go into my junk mail...
[Desire General] nubbin:
I made the mistake of pre-ordering a second Desire, thinking that my original order was going to be delayed longer than the rest (12th. April rather than 7th) and this order has also been charged to my card ready for delivery tomorrow. In case anyone's interested, it's Handtec who are also getting them in tomorrow, so presumably Clove et al. will be the same. I will be going with my PrePayMania order.
[Desire General] n-j-f:
Unfortunately, this is quite common and not illegal. Many companies use Google Checkout or Paypal and they are always charged immediately. If you pay direct by credit card, it is worth checking on the website or with the company whether they only charge the card when stock is in. HTCDirect only charge on despatch, just as an example.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
I asked Clove to charge it to my card ASAP (due to the favorable exchange rate) but that was last week. When I read that some had already shipped, I thought maybe mine was on its way.
[Desire General] TEAM17:
Ah, I thought it was specific to UK but I was charged by Handtec immediatly. I payed with my credit card. Do you think I should ask them why they charged before having the product in stock ?

Thanks
[Desire General] Indomitable:
I paid with PayPal and the site charged me immediately, but I don't complain this is one bad thing if you want to use more secure paying method.
[Desire General] n-j-f:
I also ordered from Handtec. I did ask them before I ordered and they said it was their policy to charge on order. I was still happy to order from them even though, when I ordered on 23 March, the ETA was 5 April. I might not have done if it had been a month or more to wait. I might have gone with HTCDirect (which, for those who know of them, is linked to Inkino).
[Desire General] TEAM17:
Where can I see the ETA please ?

Thanks
[Desire General] nubbin:
I paid Handtec through PayPal, and my bank statement shows a PayPal payment going out of my account yesterday, but bizarrely it is dated 30th. March. So, have I entered a time warp and paid tomorrow via PayPal yesterday? :confused: :)
[Desire General] fuzzmo:
No - it's common practice - the bank has set the money aside (thus on the 29th the money you have available is minus that as it is a pending transaction). The actual transaction is carried out on the 30th and will show at end of business today.

For example - I was in Ghana recently and the hotel took my card number at the beginning of the stay as a guarantee - they obtained an authorisation code and when I checked my account, the charge hadn't appeared but because they issued an authorisation code, the bank set aside that money waiting for the imminent charge to come through. They hold it for two weeks (I think) before clearing it out if it hasn't gone through... Hence that money was not available to me until the holding period passed or of course once the hotel finally put the bill through...
[Desire General] n-j-f:
Here just below the price. Now they also have stock updates further down.
[Desire General] hot-fuzz:
I paid with PayPal i love using it as its very good if i want to make a claim, i hate receiving it due to the fees !!!

Only problem is, i cant really cancel my order now as Handtec have taken my money.

Can someone tell me what Handtec are like in after sales service. ive bought loads of stuff from them before and never had a problem after, just wondered what it would be like if i get an issue. As if i got it from CPW i could just walk into the shop and explalin it.
[Desire General] n-j-f:
If you really want to cancel, that shouldn't stop you. Handtec will just refund your money by Paypal although it might take a couple of days.

I'm sticking with them, though. :)
[Desire General] hot-fuzz:
Im being impatient and spoilt. I will stick with Handtec, its just i want the phone NOW (as per most other people) and thought if i could get it a week early then great. As i said before i had to pay with PayPal as i had a load in there i wanted to use up.
[Desire General] copex:
every time i ask the responce is 12th of april is the release date. they sent out a email to desire pre-order cust that should have been for the Legend pre oders.
[Desire General] redrazr7791:
+1

I have been in contact with Handtec daily after placing my order and having my card charged. I asked about their refund process since the phone still hasn't been shipped out.

They informed me that a full refund (price of phone + shipping cost) would be refunded if you canceled your order BEFORE the phone is shipped. Just make sure to give them a day or two to process it and all should be O.K.
[Desire General] Hasty:
Hi all,

I cancelled my order from Clove as I found one at Carphone Warehouse at the Gyle Centre, Edinburgh yesterday. They still had one left after I got mine ;)

£409.99 as you have to get an Orange pre-pay SIM with a £10 topup. Only a fiver more expensive than Clove with delivery charge.
[Desire General] hot-fuzz:
Well i couldn't resist it. Found a CPW and bought one with the Orange SIM card. Went to the online chat thingy with Handtec and cancelled the order (so will do it again soon to check). Nifty feature that and was no problem at all.

okay, so it's been a while since i've recreated my kitchen and now that i've attempted it, i cannot seem to get manila to work :(

I'm using EVK and I dumped the: RUU_Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91_Signed_Ship

After taking the Dumped files and creating the kitchen, if i recall correctly, im supposed to use the "module to file" function on [Notification Enhancement>Files>NTFConfig.dll] is that correct? Also, if i'm wanting to add a 2012 core, do i need to switch in a 2012 Notification Enhancement?

And in my past kitchens i've only edited the initflashfiles.dat, but i've been told that i need to create an app.dat file. is this true?

But since saturday, or something else, all apps and games which need .NET Framework 3.5 won't start and "say" that I must install .NET Framework 3.5. So I tried to reinstall this, but than my Diamond 2 says, that I've already installed .NET Framework 3.5. I've also try to cahnge the value from .NET Framework 2 & 3.5 in the registry. But it wouldn't run! Please Help

Thanks!

Do you know good back up programms?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
SPB backup is good for system file restoral.

PIM backup is good for PIM data, however I find that restoring PIM data can f-up Manila.

You may want to back up your PIM data with M$ My Phone.

I have tried the Airplane Mode trick, and it did not work...anyone find a solution? This build runs great other than this battery life issue...
[Hero CDMA General] Tenny:
Did you try this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=651848
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Thanks for the suggestion. I tried that previously, and while it reduced the "time without signal", the awake time is remains at 100%.
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Does anyone know if this 100% awake is an issue with Fresh Rom 2.0c?
[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
That issue isn't guaranteed to happen, or *not* happen, on any particular 2.1 rom, but seems to happen to people on occasion on different roms, and perhaps for different reasons. I did not have that issue on Fresh 2.0c, for what it's worth.

No matter which rom you want to end up on, it might be a good idea to restore back to something that previously worked, confirm that it still does, then re-wipe (Data/Dalvik/Ext) and re-flash the rom of your choice. If all goes well you won't have the issue, and will have only a slight lingering frustration over what unknown factors were causing it.

...and good luck!
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
This sounds fine, except for having to set up all my apps., etc, etc all over again :-(

Is there a way to avoid that?
[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
Depends on what you mean by 'set up' -- saved .apks for easy re-installation, yes. Saved .apks with all relevant configuration intact -- well, that's what nandroid is for, so in that case no, not really.

Best case, if you happen to be using apps2sd, when you do a nandroid backup (+ext) it puts all your .apk in a neat and tidy .tar file for you labeled ext. You could certainly unzip that and push them back after you get the basics set up again.

If you are not using apps2sd, you can still backup most of your .apk files using AppMonster or Astro, both free from the market. They might not be able to backup some paid apps, or certain protected free ones, but it will get most of them. If you are comfortable reading up on, and learning adb a bit, you can 'adb pull [source] [destination]' to get the files that the apps won't copy on to your PC.

Regardless, don't rush to dump everything back before you check to see that your awake time drops when the phone is off for a while (and not plugged in to pc, for good measure).
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
I am assuming hat wiping and using a nandroid backup will not fix this issue...correct?
[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
Oh it might, but if the rom you restore isn't the rom you want to end up on you will clearly still have a few more steps to take. Since the issue isn't really that well understood the only way to find out for sure is to try it.

If I had to wager, I would say that yes, if you restore a backup of a rom that didn't give you 100% awake time trouble before, it should be fine once again when restored over a setup that was giving you trouble.

The real point is that if you then went *back* to the one that was giving you trouble, there is just as good a chance that it would work fine this time as there is that you would have the same issue again. Only one way to find out...
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Thanks for all of your help askwhy. Too bad no one understands this issue - it seems that it *should* be a very simple fix ;-)
[Hero CDMA General] ronnienyc:
Wow, I just flashed Fresh 2.0b and the awake time issue is resolved. Also, the Cell Standby issue is also solved - it's at 29%, rather than the 69% I had with the Damaged One...now tlet's see what is broken in the Fresh version...

from dialer

press menu hard key

press select radio band (you will get a force close, acknowledge and ignore it)

select "cdma auto prl" from the drop down menu
