Hi there!
First things first: I have a T-mob Hero (UK) with MCR 2.9 - Rooted -
Having said that:
I purchased an unlock code to use the phone while back in Italy (I know, I know.... Berlusconi-land...Sorry for that guys!), and it worked like charm...Or...Didi it?
I was able to do anything I wanted and needed, and when prompted to kind of "sync" with my "new" sim, I said no, since everything looked perfectly fine and on top of that I just wanted to put its original sim in for the time being. This is when funny things started to happen: first I got a message from t-mob and the download of the message (1k) failed miserably over and over... Then... I was asked to "apply the settings of the sim card" (kinda made sense... From A to B and back to A), and this time I said yes, linking the two problems. Next my phone started to act funny (like when you "taskill" sense - Twice over), and then...I was back to my original HTC scene. Mmmmm... All my apps were in the list and I was connected to the net but yet.... Where's MY scene? I looked around a bit but it looks like they just vanished. I wouldn't have taken it to a post if it was just that, though. I was asked for my gmail password twice (like when you enter the market with no account linked), it worked (on the second attempt!)...I was in Market, I had my downloads...bla bla bla... Funny but harmless let's say. But then it was time for Latitude to show funny IMPROVEMENTS! I had recently lost the ability to see the pics of my gmail latitude friends. I got it back. NOT entirely... But still...
So, in the end of the day, I am left with my scene to rebuild but (some) pics back in latitude. This leaves me puzzled. Anyone in the known cares to shed some light please?
Ciao

Title says it all. I haven't removed any programs or anything. The few today plugin's I'm running are all the standards cooked from lumpkins.
Litereally in the today settings, there is no listing for mail. Any ideas where the shortcut should be, or how to get it listed there?
thanks

Good Luck.
Actually two things on this one.
My first exposure to this was with a fresh cooked rom. But when I hard reset it, the mail plug in was back.
My second one was after installing MY|Phone from JGUI, I haven't decided if it's a bug or something that cropped up with a new install, but it's there.
Removing it from the selected today plugins returns the inbox option.
I've lost INBOX & Tasks plugin.
It took me 1 week to find out about the 13 plugins bug/limitation
wonder how many today plugin programmers who have gotten angry mails from users who believed that because after they installed their software they lost what ever today plugin from the list
Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.
I have black screen showing with words vibrant and Samsung displayed on it.
I see quite a few posts about it and I am hopeful it can get fixed. What's worrying me about it is the way I got this problem.
Two days ago I bought two phones - one for a Christmas present and one for myself. I had one phone unlocked, rooted and upgraded to Froyo 2.2 by the seller.
Last night I gave it as a present to my wife but I wanted to associate her gmail account with it. So I added new account through settings. Then I wanted to remove my account from it but it told me that it's being used by other applications. It said that I should delete personal data through Privacy settings - and I did.
When I rebooted I've got the black screen. I wasn't flashing or doing anything crazy. Why would it happen?
I see Android is quite sensitive about gmail account associations! On my second phone I cannot associate any gmail account, can't access Market etc. I found the workaround to login first to YouTube app but that doesn't get me access to Android Market! Why is gmail account linking to Android phones so finicky? Is it only with Galaxy T-Mobile phones or is it present accross the board?
Btw, great forums - lots of info here. I am glad I came accross this awesome site!

Your problem of how you got it is...
Confusing me,but gmail IS sensitive to android , if you lose your lockscreen password your gmail gets it back you can say that gmail is the core of android.
How to fix
On the android development section for vibrants theres a sticky known as the bible
Read through it
Download necessary things ull be provided
In the end you'll use a program called odin to set your phone back to normal
Then you can root again and flash a better froyo

Thanks xriderx66!
I read a lot and finally fixed one of my phones but I am still learning a lot from you guys.
Now my biggest task ahead is fixing Android market as I cannot log into it. For me everything is complicated by the fact that I have my phones unlocked from T-mobile. I read that when you flash with ODIN you might relock it permanently. But hopefully there is workarounds for that too!
Thanks for words of encouragement!
I hope someone can suggest some ideas. I've been trying for months to get the alarm notifications to work on my Verizon S3. I've spent hours and hours for month after month looking at the forums, and have not been able to fix it- I really, really would like to get this to work!
The problem is, I never get alarm reminders for either:
- time to leave/traffic alerts when I have upcoming appointments
- reminders based on location
I've tried everything I know of in the book- I need an expert to please help me get this working!!! Either I'm doing something really stupid and missing something, I have some setting(s) wrong, or Google Now is somehow broken for me. Sorry for the frustration...
I'm running a Verizon S3, with 4.2.1 and recently I rooted the phone (the notifications have not worked since before nor after the rooting- I did it for other reasons).
PLEASE HELP!!!
Please- any suggestions? I'm willing to start at the basics (in case I missed something) all the way to the complex. I really could use some advise on getting the alarms to work on Google Now notifications...
I've had the same thing happening for about 2 months now (from August 2013), and even with factory wipes and firmware flashes it hasn't come back to me. :/ It's worked once or twice but I haven't figured out if I had done anything before hand to get it back. Then afterwards it stopped working again.
Same for me yet. I've hard reset both my S3 and my Nexus 7, and not luck. Rarely do I get any notices, and if I happen to, it's not at the right time. Must be on Google's end on my account or something. Very, very disappointing, with little hope if it's not specific to the device...
Me too! Try this....

Also happening to me on my Note 3 t-mobile. I have flashed many roms. I even reverted back to stock, and did an OTA update to 4.4.2 and so forth.
The only thing that made a difference was if I sign in to Google Now using my backup Google account, then IT WORKS! So I think that Google is having problems on the back end. There is absolutely no difference between my Google accounts. Why would one work and one not work? I've been posting it all over the web and Google tech support. You should too!
Solution Found
I found a solution to the problem. After being a die-hard advocate for Android, I gave up about 6 months ago and bought an iPhone. It works wonderfully, and does everything it's supposed to, when and where it is supposed to. Reception and voice recognition are better than my S3 was too. I've given up a few things (customization, screen size, etc.), but I finally have a phone that just works. I can add apps, delete them, change settings, etc., and things don't get screwed up; and I don't have to hard reset and start over with my phone again. Plus, most of the Google apps are available on the iphone, including Google Now.
I may look at Android again when version 5.0 comes out; but even with that, if it's my account that's messed up, I doubt I will ever get it fixed...
I really liked Android, but I finally got soooo tired of having to spend so much time getting it to work...
Google now reminders not working possible solution
Okay so I purchased a phone LG G Flex unlocked from T-mobile and using on Metro PCS two weeks ago, prior to this phone I had a Note 3 and used Google Now to set remianders with no problems. When I activated my FLEX and started using google now it did not remind me, i could see the reminders on google cards but no notification and or finger with string in the notification bar to actually remind me. I was really bummed and fustrated as I depend on the reminder function alot. Not having any luck getting Google Now remainders to work I started searching for other apps simular to it, just something to remind me. But funny enough all the others application I found on the app store would do the same thing NO reminders, so I started thinking it may not actually be Google Now but something on my phone. I finally found an application called Robin that did work but gave me my reminders about 2 or three mins before or after the set time, nevertheless it was working but early or late notifications still bothered me. So i decided to turn off the automatic time zone/Network provider time and Automatic date and time/Network provided time and that did the trick for me. I started up Google Now and set like a hundred reminders to test it and they all came in on time. I dont know if the phone being unlocked and used on another network made the network time buggy but as long as I keep the automatic date and time off it works well. I dont know if this is the solution for everyone but it was for me. hope this help.
Fantastic and detailed reply- thanks!
I also switched phones, now I'm on a LG G3 (love the phone)! I seem to be getting almost all of my notifications now, but I'll try to pay a little more attention to it, and keep your suggestion in mind if I'm having any troubles. Thanks again for the information!

Can Google now show reminders while offline? I know I cant set or delete a reminder offline. But can it remind for an already set reminder offline?
One night, when I unlocked my phone to check my notifications, I noticed that it was set to airplane mode and there were a bunch of diffrent applications opened that I don't even recall using that night. By far the strangest thing of all was the the notepad and messaging app. There were gibberish text written on both apps and of the top of my head something akin to these was written
2www iieee ickfkc January irrr have two iii wwrff
I'm assuming someone other than me wrote that. Am I just being paranoid? Did I fall asleep that night while my hand was on my device (that's why diffrent apps were opened?). And If I and being hacked right now will a reformat solve my problem?
P.S I don't have a one plus 7t I'm just posting this here because this will get me the most answers
