They're just being safe. Anyone can claim to have a U.S. address and call from another country. Should have just used Google Voice and called back if it's all because of the number you were calling from.
[Nexus S General] divemasta:
I mean, when you give them a Name, address, phone, email whatever and they don´t have any costs with that there is no reason for that reaction.

To tell me that the phone is losing the warranty coz it is out of the US is the biggest bull**** i have ever heared.

Which mobile phone stays in the country where you bought it all the time, well then it is not a mobile phone.

This service is a shame for an international company. Let´s f... the customer, thats their target, sad but true.

[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Here are two of the onscreen keyboards that I use on a daily basis, swype is also a great alternative but posts with swype links have been shut down by the mods so the best thing to do is to sign up for the beta program directly here or use google ;)

Of course to install these for now you can go to the thread created by me on xda here to sideload the .apks

These are both being used currently on my 2.2.1 Rom with zero issues.

Thanks to all that have made these programs possible, we truly appreciate the hard work.

[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Not knowing much about these kybds, I'm curious as to whether you have a preference towards one or the other using swype? I can't use and android without it after using it on my captivate.
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Swype is nice but inputting email addresses and passwords are somewhat of a hassle.

I prefer HTC_IME as the tap to text option of the two because of the word prediction software that is always on point.

Its hard to compare swype vs. the one above because they are completely different ways of using your onscreen keyboard.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mentalcase:
The HTC ime mod is the best. I don't like the clunky stock keyboard the inspire had. Plus the layout was shifted from other virtual keyboards. The mod keyboard give you the ability to customize so much. Including the layout.
[HTC Inspire 4G] rwon:
Yeah, I would rather deal with the occasional hassle w/ email and passwords and text like a mad man... lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Well I have Swype fully working on the Inspire, installed using the Sideload Wonder Machine for Windows (Best thing since sliced bread).

Same here, the Gingerbread KB FC's on me. I reinstalled just to be sure but it still does it. Anybody know how to fix it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
The Gingerbread KB worked fine on my HTC Dream / G1.

Thats weird, I didnt get around installing it on the Inspire yet so maybe Ill have to edit the OP and take that link to the app off if more continue to report the FC.

For those having issues just unistall it and use the other options listed please.

HTC_IME - High resolution version (Froyo/2.2)

Swype are the only onscreen keyboards I currently have installed as of now.
[HTC Inspire 4G] borguesian:
There is a gingerbread keyboardon the market
[HTC Inspire 4G] lonesomecrow:
I just noticed that it FC's when you have different languages enabled in the settings. If you don't tinker with the settings at all (default) it will work, but I mainly write in English and Spanish and is the main reason why I installed it to begin with...

never mind it FC's as default as soon as you try to type the first letter...

trying the one on the market in a minute...

Tried the one on the market and it even has more features than the one in the forums, I highly recommend it...

swype wont install

i got the .apk for the swype installer and sideloaded it, but now, every time i run the installer it still tells me that the install is blocked...how did you guys get past that without having the ACTUAL keyboard .apk (not the installer .apk):confused:
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
You might want to try this app instead, unsure why you are having issues with Swype:

http://www.androidtapp.com/slideit-keyboard/
[HTC Inspire 4G] morganblackstone:
I would really like to use swype though...I appreciate the suggestion though...any ideas or does anyone need clarification of my problem?
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
Like I said in the OP google is your friend, lol.

We cant post up swype .apks, its prohibited.
[HTC Inspire 4G] morganblackstone:
i understand that, and thats totally fine...but how the heck do i install it? i got swypeinstaller.apk to install fine. but after that it attempts to download and install the swype.apk from the server and it tries to install it, and thats where it gets blocked. so im trying to figure out how to install the swype.apk that was downloaded through the swype installer, when i cant find any temp file or anything that just says swype.apk
[HTC Inspire 4G] legend221:
This is where you might want to contact swype directly.

That would be my best advice for you.

Download this.
[HTC Inspire 4G] morganblackstone:
How did you install swype, in bullet point. Mine went like this

-registered on swype's website

-downloaded swypeinstaller.apk

-used sideloading wonder machine to install swypeinstaller.apk

-opened swype installer app

-logged into swype's server

-downloaded the 2.5MB swype (english/spanish)

-got the install blocked error, gave option to go to settings or cancel (obviously settings does nothing because we cannot check "unknown sources")

I'm not new to this stuff, and i've had HTC phones before, so i really doubt i did anything wrong, and i cannot accept the fact that the phone i purchased on launch day is blocked more than anyone elses phone that also got it on launch day. Im not being a jerk, but the only people that can help are the awesome devs on XDA, so help lol prease
[HTC Inspire 4G] lonesomecrow:
Thanks but if you read my 2nd post you can see that I have already installed it and highly recommend it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bigcrav:
Easiest way would be to google for the actually swype.apk and not the installer apk. Thats how I got mine before I rooted.
[HTC Inspire 4G] id10terrordfw:
Whoops, totally missed that. In that case, i also highly recommend it for those of us that do not like swype.

HTC Keyboard Keypress sounds

I actually like the stock HTC Inspire keyboard a lot (coming from iPhone), like having sound but not haptic feedback, but the keypress sounds are too loud and "typewriter-like", and having different sounds for Return and Spacebar and Delete is distracting, to me.

I know where the Keypress sounds are located, in [FONT=Comic Sans MS, sans-serif][FONT=Comic Sans MS, sans-serif]\system\media\audio\ui\

[/FONT][/FONT] but I haven't found any alternates that I could replace them with. I've heard that the IME keyboard has good sounds. Could someone post them? There is KeypressDelete, KeypressReturn, KeypressSpacebar, and KeypressStandard. I believe they are .ogg files.

Thanks for any help and advice.

This was updating to the 2.2 update a bit back. If i update to 3.7, will i lose my root, or is it the same as the last update where i'm good to go?

[Nexus S General] kicknik:
i have a nexus s and it seems someone has taken it. i am borrowing my friends phpne to do this. i know thw phone is still at the school. is there any way i could use the online market to download an app to help me track my phone or any other way to track my phone? thanks please help
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
yes, you can install an app, but not it will not activate without having it already configured

AntiDroidTheft is a very good one

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.android.antidroidtheft

and then you can find your phone online

http://www.antidroidtheft.com/

unfortunately for it and all other similar software to work, you will need to have had it pre-installed and configured

Anti DT requires the least config to work

if you have a smart Coder friend, maybe he can upload a new version of this App modified to install and start automatically with a predefined secret password

then you install it from the new Android Market

and it will install and activate itself on its own, and you might have a chance at finding your phone, and trace it to where the guy live
[Nexus S General] kicknik:
will tmobile be able to help at all if i call them because none of my frienda would be able to make that program. thanks though please any ideas
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
You can download this app: https://market.android.com/details?id=org.gtmedia.findMyPhone remotely to your phone.

Then send a SMS to your phone with the secret code and command. The default secret code is 1234.

List of commands:

1234 help

1234 locate

1234 alarm

1234 wipe (wipe sd card is not set by default)

1234 calls

Unless your gps is on, the location of your phone isn't going to be accurate. Just hope that if a person did steal the phone, they won't be removing the app. Since when the phone receives the message, it will play the ringtone and notifications will pop up.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:
hmm... interesting

trying that as we speak to see if it works :D

hmm... the app is no longer supported, they are forwarding people to a PAID app instead :mad:
[Nexus S General] kicknik:
whhat is the name of the new app?

Also how do i know what the code is if i dont have my phone?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'm only asking because you didn't mention it specifically, but did you try the simplest method first of calling you're own number and seeing if someone answers? Also, send a text message to the phone saying please call me.

You said "seems like" someone took it. Maybe you dropped it or left it and an honest person has it and will gladly return it. Worth a shot if you haven't yet.
[Nexus S General] kicknik:
ya i did do both those thigns.

i just need to know if there is a way to remotely locate it because find my phone owuld have been perfect but it doenst work anymore :(
[Nexus S General] DKYang:
No longer supported but still works. The app doesn't depend on a server or anything, just the phone.

Like I said, the default code is 1234. Just use 1234 as the code. If you want to change the code, then I can't help you with that.

Did you actually try it yet? It works for me. I tested it.

Go to the market and have it remotely downloaded onto your phone. Then send the phone commands.

If you can't get the app (or any other app) downloaded onto your phone for whatever reason, then of course this won't work or any other method that I can think of.

I wouldn't be suggesting it if it didn't work. What's the point in doing that? I got nothing to gain from it.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I'll confirm this works. I just went to the link you provided earlier on my CR-48, then told the Market to install it to my phone which is across the room from me.

I waited a few minutes, then used my Google Voice web account to send the "1234 Locate" to my phone. A few seconds later I heard a text message arrive on the phone. A few seconds later I got a text message back from the phone that said my location would be determined in under 5 minutes, and then about a minute later I got another message from the phone that was the latitude and longitude of the phone, and then another link with a link that opened Google Maps on my laptop to right where my phone is.

AWESOME.

I've got WaveSucure & MobileDefense both on my phones, and this is simpler and easier than either of those. Good find.

The only negative here is that on my other two phones when I tried to install it on them, the Market told me that I hadn't logged into the Market on those phones in a while and that I would have to open the Market on those phones before I could remotely install. I'd have been screwed on those phones.
[Nexus S General] kicknik:
Hey man thanks a lot for all your help i just assumed it didnt work because of the error message but im trying it out. I downloaded it online and in the MY Account tab on the market website it says the download is complete so i texted it from my dads phone saying 1234 locate. I havent gotten a response yet but heres to hoping it will work.

Thanks again everyone i really appreciate all the help.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Make sure to let us know what happens.
[Nexus S General] AllGamer:

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabby09:
Hi guys... A colleague of mine just got a branded orange desire hd and asked me to debrand it for him.

I've never flashed a HTC phone.

I looked through the forums and did the following on an old laptop at work:

1. Made a gold card.

2. Downloaded stock 1.32 rom

3. Downloaded test 1.15 rom

4. Unzipped 1.32 then opened up 1.15 and copied 1.32 over the temp.

5. Went through the flash process and confirmed I wanted to upgrade from 1.40 orange to 1.32 stock.

6. The software rebooted the phone to the HTC screen.

7. The software says 'sending'.

8. This process was started at 6 pm... But was continuing at 8 pm!

The laptop is old (centrino processor)... So I have left it to run over night...

What are your thoughts? If it's done in the morning I'm okay... But what do I do if not?

Thanks

Crabby
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
has the DHD rebooted yet? or are you still booted into the os? if it hasent rebooted yet you could try flashing the ruu from fastboot. also check the software version on the phone, mine was orange branded and came with the 1.40.xxx version and was easly rooted using visionary with no downgrade needed :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabby09:
It's booted into the HTC screen?

Crabby
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
i woulnt touch it then, if its flashing bootloader or radio you could perm brick it...... best bet is to just wait, but it only took me about 10 minutes to flash an ruu :confused:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabby09:
This is the problem... I think it's just taking AGES because the laptop is just sooooo sloooooooooow! When I originally opened the RUU it took about 5 minutes to open.

At least you have confirmed it is flashing and what I have done would usually have been correct.

Hopefully it's finished by tomorrow. If it isn't, any other ideas?

crabby
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
only other option is just to bite the bullet and disconnect it. as long as you can boot into the bootloader you can always flash the ruu from fastboot, obviously by disconnecting it you also run the risk of bricking it :(
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabby09:
Thanks. So, IF I need to disconnect it...

How do I get to the bootloader? And do I need some software for fastboot commands in windows?

crabby
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if you have htc sync installed you will already have the hboot/fastboot drivers. to flash an ruu from fatboot, turn the device off then hold volume down and press the power key (keep vol down held down) this will bring up the hboot screen, use the volume buttons to navigate the menu till fastboot is selected, press the power button to confirm, when in fastboot just connect to the pc and run the ruu :)

Try it the pd98img.zip method. It has much better success.

Someone Swyped my idea.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
it means you made the goldcard unsucessfully. liike i said check the current version number on the rom. if it says 1.4x.xxxxx. you dont need to downgrade, you can root using visionary then s-off :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabby09:
Thanks, I have found out that this is just the ROM renamed and installed via bootloader... Do I need a gold card for this?

I can't sell rooting to my colleague for some reason :( The pd98img.zip seems like a good way to go (it's the same method I used to use on my xperia x1), but will I need to fix the gold card to do this? And, if not... Does this completely wipe the phone?

Is rooting the least likely to brick? I might just ask to take it home and do it myself! (Though I haven't quite figured out the s-off method yet).

Thanks,

crabby
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
you cant s-off without rooting :confused: i thought you were trying to downgrade the rom so you can root and s-off. what im tryna say is, if you have the right software version you dont need to downgrade to root :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crabby09:
No... don't want root... He just wants to debrand his phone. Orange sticks a load of bloatware on their version like a fake market and their own map application etc as well as a load of game demos.

So, all I am trying to do is go from orange to stock firmware. So, just need to install the stock rom. Does the pd98img need a gold card? I'll try and do that again on Monday if necessary... Is there anyway to confirm the gold card is correct before trying to flash?

Thanks again... sorry to be such a bore with this... it just seems so much more complicated than I'm used to (Flashing Xperia X1 and Galaxy S).
