identical situation here, did you ever find a solution? anyone else have this experience? if so, howdya fix it?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ezintn:
uninstalled vvm and re-installed latest apk, app generated it's own activation message, but send failed, still no notifications, this sucks...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Holyrolla:
This was happening to me as well, until I remembered that I had set up a block with Sprint to block 9016 txt msgs from coming through. Check with Sprint customer service or logon to Sprint's site and check the My Devices & Media tab and see if you have any restrictions on the line.

Apparently, Sprint's VVM program needs those text messages to tell it when it's provisioned, when it has messages to download, and when to get rid of the icon at the top.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ezintn:
Nah, this isn't the aosp text issue, it's different, but thanks for the input.

So I took my phone to sprint today, and after an hour and a half working w/ 3 different tech depts, a couple supposed vvm resets (or refreshes), and a full reset of the phone and still no fix, they decide to give me a new phone. Set up the new one (003 w/ 3.29 otb) and no dice, 3 hours, a new phone, and still have the same problem I walked in with. I've uninstalled and re-installed latest apk as well as an older one. What seems to be the problem is the "activation message" is not sending. Sprint says it's a known issue and there will be a software fix soon - my experience w/ Sprint is 6 mo. is "soon" for an update or fix. Anybody know a fix for this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elapshtc:
holyrolla's right check to make sure you don't have it blocked. if you added it before it wouldn't block it. but now for some reason it blocks it. I had the same problem as the op took me a week trying to figure it out. then I remembered I blocked 9016 when I had cm6. unblocked it and within a few hours my voicemail activation was able to be sent.

also compose a message in the vvm app and send it to someone in your contacts, this should get the server talking with your phone if your activation message still won't send
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ezintn:
This worked! I blocked and unblocked 9016 text in August on Heroc. Four days before Thanksgiving on Evo for 2.5 weeks w/ vvm working fine...and all of a sudden no vvm. After I replied to this post earlier, I decided to check it out anyway and there it was. Unblocked 9016 and vvm works fine.

Thank you Holyrolla!

[Nexus One General] :
Hello everyone,

I want to share with you my worse-than-a-nightmare experience regarding the HTC support.

My current ticket number is 10USD420004057 in case someone from HTC actually bothers to read this.

I bought my Nexus One the day it was launched, making great efforts to ship it from the US to my country. Then it accumulated a lot of dust under screen and I have decided to let HTC take care of this problem under warranty. I have arranged a phone swap and they sent me a replacement phone. The replacement was basically in "ran by a truck" condition: scratches everywhere, the rear cover would not fit properly ! I have then decided to send the replacement back and send my own phone for repair.

After they finally repaired my phone (about one month later !) they sent it to a wrong address. It was lost. But this is not all ! My previously opened support tickets were changed from my name to another name and there was basically no evidence that I sent my phone to them ! Luckily I had the email notifications from those tickets and also the Google Checkout invoice and I sent them to HTC. Then they said they figured out the problem and they would send a replacement phone over to me. To get to this point, I called every 2-3 days for about a month !

Since then, I keep calling every 2-3 days and also sending emails to them after each call. Every time I call they say "there are no updates". This is happening for over a month !

So my phone is forever lost at HTC and they don't want to send me my phone or another phone back. From the 10 months since I had my Nexus One, it has spent 3 months at HTC before finally being lost.

So I have spent $530 + tax + shipping only to have HTC withold my phone forever.

Right now I am saving money for a Samsung Nexus S but I will still keep calling them every 2-3 days until maybe someone from HTC solves the problem.

This was my nighmare with HTC. My advice to you is DO NOT buy HTC phones ever ! If you ever have a problem with your phone, you're screwed.

PS: when I traveled to the US last year, a friend of mine entered an Apple store with his defective capacitive touchscreen on his first-generation iPhone. They gave him a new iPhone on the spot, in 10 minutes.
[Nexus One General] Hero Yu:
Sorry to hear about you're situation mate, sadly things like that can happen. Luckily i've had good experiences, sometimes mentioning legal action can motivate people to send equipment via special delivery ;)

My work gave me a galaxy s which I am loving, shame its got no flash but im looking forward to the nexus s
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
I would contact my credit card issuer, personally.
[Nexus One General] davelis828:
oh man,this is phucked
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
that's a horrible situation, but it's believable. I've also heard about the replacement service with Apple. How awesome would that be?!?

On a different note, I'm going to laugh if they release a phone with 2.3 on it, before pushing an OTA to the Nexus One. hahaha
[Nexus One General] ctbear:
Happened to me, and possibly many other users. Their warehouse is so incompetent that it is not even surprising to hear something like this.

The way I got my phone back: talk to the floor supervisor immediately after the phone call is connected. Then threaten him/her that I'm writing to the newspaper/local stations.

After maybe a month or two, you should have someone contacting you. It took me 5 weeks of doing that, every day.
[Nexus One General] kam187:
Contact your credit card company and initiate a chargeback for non delivery. Explain the details of the situation and be sure to explain the length of time its been, and the constant promises of rectification; and specificlly that they have never called you back to let you know whats happening.

If they agree the chargeback, then put a list of the events that have happened, and the people you've spoken to and email a copy with a complaint to the CEO of HTC, and whoever used to be responsible at google for the sale of nexus's just for good measure :)

comments like 'ill never buy a HTC again' arent that effective in complaint letters, use commnets like 'I appreciate in a large organisation errors can occur and are not always spotted, but i am astonished that once it was brought to your attention your company was incapable of dealing with the situation.'. You can also mention writing to the local press, and wether they would like to be quoted on a response.

Humiliation usually works :P

You never know your chargeback might go through and they might send u a nexus as a good will gesture.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
OP- "After they finally repaired my phone (about one month later !) they sent it to a wrong address. It was lost"

That could easily have been the FedEx delivery man's fault instead of HTC. You need to get a FedEx tracking # from HTC and see the address on it to find out if HTC messed up writing the address or if the FedEx driver messed up delivering it.

I used to work at FedEx and knew of a courier that, eventually, got fired because he knew which boxes were iPhones, not deliver them, but say he did in the computer system, and sell them on craigslist.
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
does this apply for swap replacements? I went with the swap method, where they place a hold on my credit card. i really need the phone asap. What do you guys think, could they screw me up over? say they never received the package when i send it or what not? i would hate to have a wasted 530 on my credit card statement..
[Nexus One General] boogieboogie:
i just realized, if you do the swap method, what happens when they receive your phone they decide its not covered under warranty. do they ask for you to mail back their phone or do they say "eff u. u got a new phone, we're gonna keep your old one and charge you that 530 and tax"

i really hope its not the latter. if its out of the warranty, i rather them ask me to send the phone back and get my messed up one back.
[Nexus One General] IpodLover77:
im also getting a warranty swap. phones having some trouble reading a sim.

i've been googling and alot of people seem to have some issues with warranty replacement. some say the phones they receive are in worse condition than their old ones. that its has scratches all over the place. this def does not make me feel good. worse cause the cs lady assured me i wont be able to tell the difference between a new phone. lets hope thats true..
[Nexus One General] chaoss1968:
HTC Support was great for me!

I sent my nexus one in last thursday to have the power button repaired, they got it the next day and sent me an email that it was being repaired. This Tuesday I checked the repair site and it said it was repaired, I received it the same day, 5 DAYS, Awesome, I thought. Seems they replaced everything except the mother/logic board. My old screen let dust in between screens, had several dings in casing and digitizer was loose. It came back perfect in less than a week, hope you case turns out ok. I have only good things to say about them so far. And all this was at no cost on a phone i bought used.
[Nexus One General] kolyan:
I had horrible htc experience myself. They also lost my return phone, after 100 phone calls and few weeks later they found it. bunch of idiots over there.
[Nexus One General] IpodLover77:
did they apologize and try to make it up to you?

did you do a swap or a repair? i dont understand how a multimillion dollar corporation would be this disorganized..
[Nexus One General] ericc191:
Just another reason to avoid HTC for the time being. Sorry for your troubles. I hope they send you your N1 back or what you paid for it.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
My phone kept rebooting every few seconds so I sent it in. They sent it back and it had the same problem. So I sent it in again. They sent it back a second time with the same problem. I called support again and they asked if I wanted to send it in again to see if they can fix it. I opted for a swap and got a different phone.
[Nexus One General] chris6278:
Im sorry ur having troubles at htc that does suck but ur glad the next nexus is made by samsung? Not tryin to be a **** but wtf are u smokin? That phone looks like a shiney turd an samsung phones are cheap pieces of ****. Im sorry but samsung doesnt deserve to use the nexus name that belongs to HTC who makes the best phones whether u like them or not.
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
This is what I am worried about. I opted to not have a swap sent to me on the off-chance that HTC pulls a "your bootloader is unlocked so we are keeping your 530 bucks" or a sneaky "this is not covered by warranty" trick.

If my phone comes back and still reboots randomly, I am going to call back, opt for a swap and assume that since the first time it was covered by warranty, it should be covered again for the exact same problem (hoping logic is not lost on HTC).

I wish they sent a shipping number when the phone was done. It has been sitting as "repaired" for a couple days now.
[Nexus One General] lostinbeta:
I called HTC and told them my phone was randomly rebooting. They sent me an email while on the call with a prepaid fedex label and gave me my ticket number. I mailed it out the next day using the printed prepaid label. I got an email next day that they received my phone. 3 days later I got an email saying the phone was repairs under warranty at no cost and was shipped back. 2 days later the phone was in my hands no issue. Took about 5 days or so but 2 of those were non business days. So I have to say, no arguments about HTC at all here
[Nexus One General] deprecate:
All is well here...got it today. Relocked bootloader too.
[Nexus One General] jdoo:
This happened to me. I sent in my phone because the power button failed. They told me the screen was broken (it was fine when i sent it to them in THE PACKAGING THEY PROVIDED TO ME) and basically extorted the full cost of LCD replacement and repair from me. I'm never buying HTC again.
[Nexus One General] khaytsus:
Doesn't look like you even have to try.. It comes natural.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
OP needs to:

1) Call HTC for a FedEx tracking #

2) Call FedEx with the tracking # and ask what the address was that the phone was sent to

- If the FedEx label had the wrong address then HTC has no recourse but to give him a new phone and contact

- If the FedEx label had the right address then the OP needs to file a claim against FedEx for mis-delivering the package to the wrong house.

Starting a thread saying "HTC lost my phone" without going through these steps is rather pointless since it could easily have been the FedEx guy that messed up.

HTC has been nothing short of amazing for me and I've had 4 swaps with them already without any problems.
[Nexus One General] :
It wasn't FedEx fault. HTC made me call to FedEx first thing (they didn't bother to call FedEx themselves although it was not my mistake !), and FedEx said that the wrong delivery address was written on the package by HTC. HTC then admitted that it was their fault and sent a "request" to the warehouse to send me a replacement phone. And this is where it all stopped. Every call it is "no new updates". I really, really think that the HTC repair center is in fact a bunch of incompetents, but I am afraid that they just do not want to lose money by sending me a phone.

I will talk to my credit card company, maybe I can get some help...

Hi,

I got a HTC Wildfire and am having a very hard time typing on the on screen keyboard, i am finding the buttons a bit to small and it causes me to type words incorrectly, i do use the spell checker and word suggestion but still could do with a decent keyboard app, perhaps one that has bigger buttons.

Can anyone recommend a good app that may meet my needs?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnnyham89:
Hey guys! My problem is that no matter what Windows mobile/Android rom I use, I never can lock on a GPS signal. I have tried GPS status but all that does is just run and run without ever picking up a signal.

Here's what I'm dealing with:

WM Rom: OzDROID 2.00

Radio: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14

Android Rom: MCCM SE V3.3

Kernal: Hastarin r8.4

What could I be missing guys? I have tried numerous combinations but all get the same result.

I have also tried running Quick GPS but that also does nothing.

Do you think that this has something to do in Winmo that I'm not doing right or does it probably just have to do with the Android side?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] vista1984:
me 2, in winmo worked just fine, but in android, no signal.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mokujen99:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mokujen99:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnnyham89:
Here's an update on what I have changed

WM Rom: OzDROID 2.00

Radio: Radio_Leo_2.15.50.14

Android Rom: MCCM SE V3.3

Kernal: Hastarin r8.4

Like I said I have tried numerous WM and Android Roms with all the same results. I once got a great GPS signal on a froyo build that I can't remember the name of, but decided to switch back to sense because I like it better.

Are there any special things that I need to do in WM before I boot Android? Like have airplane mode on or something like that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
I've used MDJ Sense v2.2 rEVO and right now MDJ Matted v1.4. I got GPS signals with both builds. It does take minimum 5 mins to get satellite signal tho, and you need to be outside.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnnyham89:
Anyone else have any ideas?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] azzzz:
this is a stupid question but did you make sure to stand outside while trying to get a luck on the gps? What app were you using when trying to get a lock? Google map? Copilot?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] johnnyham89:
Yes, I tried inside and out. I was using google maps and gps status.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Jonny4911:
there's no point trying inside, if you can't even get one outside.

just try using gps status, downloading the gps assisstance data, then just standing out side for a good 15 minutes just to ensure you don't get a signal, because you may just be impatient! :P

if after that you still don't get one, perhaps try a different android build

i use m-deejays and gps is flawless! quicker lock than my satnav, probably due to the assistance data!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
When Gingerbread comes out i want to root my phone and have a clean install of the rom.

What information will i loose and need to backup manually?

Contacts and mail data is saved with my google-account i guess.

SMS are already backed up by an app.

I guess most app data is saved on the sd-card? So if i just i recover that no much will be lost i think?

Am i right?

Am i missing something?

I don't want to end with essential data lost after the root.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Do you know what "root" is? What rooting is?

Your question doesn't make sense.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
You don't lose anything when you root...except the restrictions on total access to your phone.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarsVaeda:
Oh cool, thats even better then.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Ok, I'll elaborate:

The green part doesn't have anything to do with Gingerbread. You want to root your phone - you can.

If you're waiting for Gingerbread OTA and planning to root after that - you might be stuck, if there are no exploits, or forced to unlock the bootloader. If you want it rooted - no point and no logic in installing it until it comes pre-rooted or until root is confirmed.

Blue part: you mean Gingerbread ROM? To install it you don't need to root. On the contrary, rooting might only disturb you and make installing official ROM impossible - no logic here.

"Clean install of the ROM"? To make it "clean", you need to erase all your data. But you want to preserve your data, so no logic here either.

Now, what were you trying to ask?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
He wants to know if he can have his gingerbread, and eat it... :-/

Actually, I think he's just looking to preserve his SMS, email, contacts, etc, while wiping.

Most things, like email, and contacts will be preserved because they are web based, but SMS and others will need to be backed up. It all depends on what you are trying to preserve...

Although, given that gingerbread will be an update, and not a new ROM, there's really no need to wipe...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brettbellaire:
I think I know what he's wondering, probably because I'm a newb to rooting too, and I'm thinking the same thing.

Let's say you root, but don't unlock the bootloader. Doing this you don't lose any data, you only lose data when you touch the bootloader (right??).

Then you want to get GB when the OTA comes out. Since you are on stock 2.2.2, you should just get it same as if you didn't root (and that will unroot your phone???).

Then, you will probably be able to root again, once someone much more knowledgeable than us, figures out how to do it, and hopefully adds it in to superoneclick.

Only thing I would wonder is why wouldn't we be able to root the N1... I thought it was made to be rooted without any fuss??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You're correct.

I believe Google's stance on rooting is that unlocking the bootloader is the official way to gain access to the phone. Other methods are exploits of potential security holes, and so Google try to close those holes...

...or, at least that's what it used to state on the home page of the AOSP website.

I'm having the worst luck. My wife and I ordered 2 brand new mytouch4g's last saturday through tmo customer loyalty for a total of 400 bucks (200each) for both phones. They didnt send the EIP acceptance until tuesday after i called them. I accepted they charged my card and I got a text message saying my order went to fulfillment Nov 12th. Well yesterday I called and they told me that the phone is backordered. wtf...! i already sold my current phones and now they don't even have an ETA of when the phones would be available. This is pretty lame.
