I just installed the (long waited) 2.1 stock EU ROM.
All looks nice and fast but:
My wife called and the number appeared as (Unkown) caller.
All my contact numbers are in international format, i.e. +country code phone number.
I need to keep this format because I travel abroad on frequent basis.
I did not have this issue on 1.5 ROM but I remember having the same on my previous TouchPro.
Is this an HTC issue?
Thanks.
Please help !!!
Hi...
i got the same Problem...
I hope someone can help!!!
THX
I got another problem ...
The SD Card that is not recognised by some applications like Astro (file deletion generate an error) or RSS application (not possible to access the SD Card).
I had to uninstall and install the apps again.
There's a whole list:
http://community.htc.com/na/htc-forums/android/f/17/t/2526.aspx
This is for issues on the Sprint Hero in the US, but since the user interface layer of the software is largely identical most of these issues apply to out Heros too.
What annoys me most is, that they didn't fix old bugs.
You can't select text in the browser with your trackball, which SHOULD work, since they have a special cursor showing up, that hardly moves. At least in 1.5 it moved (although even then you couldn't really use it to select text).
I don't need to select with the trackball, but he current alternative by roughly tracing the text with your finger is NOT accurate at all.
I sent this issue with 1.5 to customer support and back then they replied, that it would be fixed in the 2.1 upgrade. Then, after I saw the Legend and Desire introductions in Barcelona where they showed of those cool Browser features (selecting text with your finger by placing two pins then translation and other stuff pops up) and I was certain this bug is fixed.
So I updated to 2.1 yesterday and behold... the browser doesn't have these features and doesn't allow for precise text selection either
I can understand, that they don't add the new features, but to the expense of keeping a bug??? Why didn't they just add the new selection method without the extended features like translation and such.
Another annoyance for me is that in the Dialer I cannot deactivate the Haptic feedback when dialing
and the second and bigger in my opinion is that the SIM contact are shown in the dialer (on 1.5 they where hidden if you decide to hide in the contact settings)
and in the recieved call, the system decide (I still don't understant how ) if to show SIM or Google contact.
A friend of mine has same problem as you.
He has google contacts and phone contacts.
The number of phone contacts has a blank, juste after the international code. I tried to remove this blank and now the number is recognized.

This did not work for me and it is a show stopper.
2.1 did not bring any value to me so I reverted to 1.5 and I am now a happy camper.

Is anyone else having problems with their Qtek 8500, where SMS and/or email messages are received, but with no notification, regardless of selected profile? If you go to "Messaging", the number of messages are correctly displayed adjacent to the appropriate type(s) of message(s).
Classic example for me: the phone is on the table next to me; a little while later, I open the phone to find that I received subsequent SMS and/or email messages but was not alerted to their arrival.
Usually a set of soft reboots in quick succession will restore the alerting.
To make sure this behavior is not related to the various "unsigned" utilities I choose to run, I hard reset the phone back to the original Qtek settings and used the phone for less than a day before the problems started again.
I read somewhere the older STAR100 models (iMate Smartflip, Qtek 8500) had some bug in the deep-sleep mode, and I'm wondering if the bug has not been completely fixed.
reinstall the ROM instead of hard reset
Or flash with official 3.6.261.0 Qtek ROM

Where can I get it? Here in Greece we are still on 3.6.251.0.
Actualy I am using also 3.6.251.0, which I found on expansys (link in the forums). I tried to google 3.6.261.0, but all the results are some russian forums. So I guess that the ROM will be custom, or it'll be a only Russian language (which is not good for me LOL).
Erofich: can you tell us where did you get it, what are the languages in there, and what are the changes? Perhaps could you post also radio versions,...........?
My_Immortal: if you don't want to flash, get app called DontForget - http://magazin.softimage.cz/?page_id=26
Whenever you miss a call/SMS/email/....., after desired amount of time it lets you know that you are missing something (LOL). Well just try it
It is an official 3.6.261.0 russian qtek rom with also english and other european languages and t9:
http://www.myqtek.ru/downloadRom.as....30_QtekRUS_Ship.exe Russia, 26 February 2007
Sounds good, thanks for the link. However I am not able to download it, as it says "Only Brightpoint authorized original products are supported by this site. Contact your place of purchase for ongoing support of your device" (typical, damn).
Do you know what are the changes, or can you post the changes or updates included in this rom?
You can download it from rapidshare
http://rapidshare.com/files/25977944/817887-ruu_star100_3.6.261.0_02.67.30_qtekrus_ship.exe
LOL Thanks a lot, I found a rapidshare link few minutes before you posted the answer.
However, I think that in this ROM are no changes from 251.
See it yourself:
SK_QtekRUS_3.6.261.0_Ship.nbh - size 42*723*985, creation time 19.10.2006, 21:54
SK_QtekEUR_3.6.251.0_Ship.nbh - size 42*723*985, creation time 19.10.2006, 18:21
So I checked the content.. Well there are some differences (995). But I think that there are probably no changes at all. Maybe language files, dunno..
Does anybody know, what are the changes (if there are any) the 3.6.261 ROM?
edit: I checked just 20 lines, and as it seems now, only dates (time) are different in there.. I didn't check more, though.

I have Don't Forget installed. But since there's no notification on the phone,
there's nothing to notify me about, so it doesn't work.
Thanks for the advice though!
Iris
Hm, then try to backup your data (ie with Sprite Backup), hard reset your phone, and instal only few apps a day. Then the problem may be easier to locate..
i had the exact same problem. turns out the culprit IS the program called don't forget. i whipped it out of my startup folder and rebooted, and sent myself a text, and my phone buzzed for the first time in weeks. I had it installed to stop the led from blinking. Guess ill have to find some other solution...
Found Possible Solution!
I had this problem (no SMS notification at all) despite all correct settings.
I had made the following registry tweak, and this was the culprit.
Registry Tweak to Hide "Outlook" in Messaging:
Rename the "ActiveSync" folder.
Example,
Before: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\ActiveSync
After: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Inbox\Svc\xActiveSync
I reverted the above change (i.e. renamed the folder back to ActiveSync), and lo and behold, it fixed the problem.

i fix with these reg..
LOVE this upgrade to my Athena
couple things I'd like to tweak and searches so far havent helped. I'll use this thread as these items come up
1) Voice Command. It doesnt seem to kick in when pushing my BT earpiece button (like voice dial did). I rely on voice dial, any way to turn off voice command and go back to voice dial?
2) Today screen. Any way to add a big clear battery life indicator. I use my Athena so much that i may go to an external battery pack velcroed to the back. For now, I'd like a big precise batt indicator though.
3) Youtube viewer security cookie error. It finds videos and makes thiumbs, but when I go to play one, the security cookie error appears.
4) Message count icons, would like them to be bigger!
5) When pressing on any SMS message from the list, I get bounced back to the today screen (!) and cant read it. Live messages are fine, just sms do this.
6) Can I add more rows of program Icons on the today screen. two just isnt enough!
7) How do I exit from icontacts (which I think is awesome!) but there is no red x to end it.
8) Favorite Today Contacts - how do I set which number it dials for that contact. Most contacts have more than one number and it doesnt sem to allow me to pick which phone number gets dialed for that contact.
Anyway, the GPS seems to lock WAY faster with this rom and 1.58 radio. have others seen this? Very happy as GPS used to take up to TEN MINS to lock at times which made it kinda useless.
Thanks all

1) I have the opposite problems, I cant shut the dam thing up.
2)there is a cab file called qwertymemory & dcibattery that puts two coloured lines each side the task bar.
3)Don't know, mine does it though
4)try using michy large today plugin cab file
5)Don't know
6)there is a program in the rom called tray icons that does this
7)try the settings in WKtasks
8)don't know
Update - little progess
Okay, I reflashed the rom. No change in SMS closing behavior. The screen shows SMS messages, I can go see the list, but when I tap one to read it get thrown right back to the Today screen.
Also, no change in YouTube, when I try to see a yoityube video it says "failed to get you tube security cookie". I wonder if AT&T blocks it somehow.
I tried the Michy big today screen and it was nice, but too much clock and I wonder if other today screens exist to try, and if so, where are they?
I could not find the "tray icons" program and still need to add a third row of program shortcuts.
Observation: the system=>memory program doesnt show "running programs" anymore. I guess Michy wants to go to task manager for those perhaps?
Update - You Tube fix found
Okay, the rom comes with YouTubePlay v1.0.0.7
the latest one is 1.0.0.11 and that FIXED the issue. In fact the rlease nots shows the fix for that exact error. But funny thing, even though the install of v11 said it would remove the old one, it didnt. Now I have two and one is useless I'd like to remove it but must be part of the rom. Oh well, youtube works *finally* on my device for the first time ever.
Thanks XDA forum !
of course. the 4.1 one is a lot old...it's normal
to michy
Hi Michele,
I was advised here that 4.1 is the most stable. One big issue is that it cannot display SMS messages. The SMS message list shows up but when click a single message to rwead it, the today screen comes right back.
Is this a known issue to you?
Would you suggest a newer ROM even though I need stable as possible?
Thanks for all you do!
Oh question too, what is the difference between 6.1 'diamond' and 6.1 'Full' rom?
thank you!
where can i find a copy of michy's 4.1 rom?
hello there. I tried everywhere to find a copy of the 4.1 ROM by michyprima.. I can't find it anywhere.. all the links seem to be DEAD.. can anyone REUPLOAD it for me? OR send me a working LINK? thank you very much..
hi all I am posting this as an "official" question in this section because it's a known issue and it's not been resolved. this issue was briefly (and by that I mean "very few replies") discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1055407
I am wondering if anyone has come up with a solution or some more hints.
to sum things up:
- in a threaded sms conversation, upon sending AND receiving a message the small contact pictures (both yours and your interlocutors') flash one time (like if they were reloading: you can briefly see the grey android default "no picture" icon meanwhile). this didnt happen on elder builds, and when it happens the phone lags.
- it can happen from time to time that after this strange reloading the pictures won't load anymore and immediately after this, the app will loose sync with contact names too: you'll end with phone numbers anymore like if you had an empty phonebook.
I have found the culprit to be not the messaging app but the contacts app. when this happen, i "just" need to go back to home and tap the contacts app. sometimes it just displays a black screen, sometimes i get a FC message about com.android.process.acore. after pressing the FC button the app will restart and both contacts and messaging will return working normally (although still with the weird reloading thingy).
as far as things go it seems that
- hard resetting / wiping data does not help
- removing and re-adding the google account sync does not help
- it happens on 354 too
- not all users (very few, it seems) are affected by this
- there is no weird backup & restore voodoo procedure implied in the affected streaks
the small amount of users affected by this issue leads me to think we are, in some way, doing something wrong. any help would be greatly appreciated really. thanks in advance folks.

I've the same prob. i was thinking it maybe from my rom (simple streak 1.2) but looks like its not.
yeah it seems to be an issue related to android 2.2.2 (I didn't have this problem on stock 318 rom). I have done some more tries yesterday but I didn't come up with a solution. I even tried to desync google account, remove all contacts etc, and create a new test contact with random picture, well as soon as I insert the picture the problem reappears.
I forgot to mention it in the op but go sms pro seems unaffected.
Contacts app in StreakDroid 1.9.1 does this as well.
I'm going to try and roll back contacts.apk, contactsprovider.apk and mms.apk from stock 318. I have checked the filesizes and they actually are slightly different.
well tbh I am 99.9% confident I will end up having to reflash my phone but oh well..
i'll report back!
EDIT: so here's the news. replacing apps didnt work. ROM 360 is still affected by the issue.
back to the drawing board...
Hello,
recently I have bought two devices HTC Desire X.
As those are first smartphones for my wife and myself we had made investigation and finally have chosen your device, it's really lovely and performing so far great. I'm impressed and really like them.
But we have faced several issues mentioned below and I'm looking for your support here, because those issues are really shame for such a great device and HTC name..
1. The biggest and serious issue we have faced is the white/hiss noise when we are on the call with another person. One of devices has higher level of noise than the other, but in both cases the noise is too much for a such device. Much cheaper and many other devices doesn't have such a noise. I've checked with other devices and other HTC devices as well as in internet and seems like a general problem with many of HTC devices. Many people complaining from the same noise which seems available at different level on different HTC phones, also available when listening to music.
I really hope it's a software issue, but seems more like HW one.
I've check HTC Desire HD - has a noise maybe a bit lower bit it's there, checked pretty old Samsung i5500 or something, but again android device and guess what it's not there or at very low level.
So it seems like it's not general android phone issue.
Even more, as I said on one of our DX is lower than the other, and it happened they have different ROM and being prepared for different operators and country.
The one with more noise is for Orange CH version 1.14.65.1, the other with lower noise got updated to 1.14.118.1 as it seems for T-Mobile PL.
Although it's more like a HW issue which is a real shame, I'm wondering whether it could be somehow related to different ROM version or it's been just a matter of luck.
I've wrote to HTC Support as well and will see.
2.. Calendar snooze function doesn't work as expected. When a calendar reminder appear and choose snooze in most cases the snooze is actually deleted and alarm will no longer remind again. It seems like a HTC general issue for more than a year, real shame.
In addition I have another question, how many times and at what interval the reminder would remind if we don't dismiss or snooze the event?
3. Bluetooth - although the phone has more than 1GB available memory for user application, we are not able to receive files via Bluetooth due to lack of SD card. Is there any fix or configuration, which would allow us receive files without SD card?
This seems to be a general Android issue fixed in 4.1, shame again.
So we have to try workarounds now, input SD card, take the files and then copy them to internal phone memory to be able to release the SD card, which leads to next finding.
4. The is no file browser included, so any good one to recommend from android store.
5. If I'd like to load on the phone my files for notifications and ringtones, how should I do it, and where should I place them in phone memory.
6. Battery notification for low battery level with a sound appear only once. Is there any way to configure low battery level notification with sound alarm more than once?
Again seems like general android stuff.
7. Sound profile - we are unable to find suitable sound profiles and easy activation. What I mean is to have few profiles with different ring tones and behavior, e.g. for a meeting to have vibration and beep once, and of course fast and easy way to switch the profiles. Is there such solution available?
Again seems like general android stuff.
8. It's a bit strange but on one of the phones Keyboard layout is qwertz not qwerty, any help how I can have a standard qwerty layout for English keyboard?
9. I've found two strange stuff in Contacts/people application
- first one is inability to add/change/set a given contact/person phone number to mobile type if already exist one of mobile type.
- second one even more strange, we can't find how we can assign a ring tone to contact group
10. Do you have or recommend any other software either PC or device Android different than HTC Sync, which does support wireless connection like Bluetooth to computer as HTC Sync seems to work only with cable connection /shame again/. Additionally what application can be used to make a backup of my phone - like contacts, calendar and so on , which may keep all formting like which one is the primary phone number for a given person if he/she has more than one number.
11. Both phones display colors are different, like they have different color temperature set, any way to fix it and can it be due to different ROMs?
12. I've noticed different indication for network connectivity, when both phones are at the same place and same carrier, one shows 3G+ while the other H.
- can it be due to different ROMs?
- is there any difference between H and 3G+?
13. Is it possible to take the ROM from one of the phones and load it to the other, so both of them would be identical and how?
I do really hope some of you can help us, because it's a real shame for such a great device with such issues, which are actually basic functionality for simple phones since 10 years and it's disappointing. Anyway I do believe there should be a solution as some of the issues seems application stuff which is HTC specific and doesn't exist in other android phones as Samsung.
The surprising funny and disappointing part of this is that is supposed to be smartphone, so may be makes our life easier, while with such a issues it turn into adventure and it behave like a tamagotchi game to look after all the time instead.
Thank you very much in advance
Most of the stuff you wrote are not issues.
3. Go to Settings/Storage/App storage location settings and set Phone storage for Bluetooth.
4. ES File Explorer.
5. Make folder named Ringtones on phone storage or SD card, put melodies inside and phone will see them. Do the same for Alarms and Notifications.
6. When battery level drops under 15% it gives you more than one notification sound, but not in the same time frame.
7. Here you can find additional HTC widgets, there's a profile widget it can set Ringing/Vibrate/Fully silent profiles. Also there's an app called Widgetsiod in Play Store.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2064891
8. Go to settings/language&keyboard/HTC sense input and set English for keyboard selection, I'm not sure if that will help but try. Also choose English for phone language.
9. No way to set ringtones to groups, only contacts. And only one type for a number, but you can set other as many times as you want.
10. HTC Sync Manager, not HTC Sync-it won't work. Sync Manager works only wit cable. There's an app called Moborobo or 91 PC Suite which works with wireless, but app page in application will make your PC antivirus go crazy. It will also install some Market App on your phone to some Chinese app market I recommend you to uninstall it as soon as Moborobo installs it on your phone after first connection.
11. It's because of rom. You can't take rom from one and put it to another, you can root both phones and install the same custom rom on both. You have the Index with a lot of useful stuff in my signature.
12. Again because of rom. 3G+ and H (HSPA) means the same.
13. I already gave you the answer in 11.
I hope I helped.
4. Total Commander
Sent from my HTC Desire X using xda app-developers app
10. Try with Kies Air app from the play store... It's made by Samsung, but works with all devices.

3. Does not work as the setting Storage/App storage location is greyed out due to lack of SD card. So still getting the error not able to receive files via BT because there is no SD card. I'll try with pug the card in and set the settings, then get out the card and see.
8. That's what I have done, but doesn't help, even English keyboard and localization are with qwertz layout, that's due to phone is fow Swiss and localization is showed as English(Switzerland). Maybe I should find another locale in the marker or re-flash the phone with another stock image.
9. It's real shame, that's maybe the most important feature and reason to group the contacts at all.
13. OK, still not know to me what's the problem with that as both are stock images. Or any way to change the CID and finally have both phones at the same level.
Changing of CID is possible only if you s-off your phone cause it's stored on radio partition. For now there is no way to s-off it.

OK I see.
I just checked and my phones are ORANG216 on 1.14 no update, and T-MOB101 1.18 updated. So any way I can unlock, root ... so on to have unbranded and use RUU_PROTO_U_ICS_40A_HTC_Europe_1.18.401.1_Radio_10.21.40.06U_1.10.40.23_release
or have both as T-MOB101 1.18 , unbranded is preferred of course, but at least have updates on the first one, as Orange Switzerland are quite conservative and have no updates while T-Mobile had.

9. This seems to be a limitation of people application used in HTC. In Samsung devices both available, I'm wondering whether I can get new or replace current application and use those features.
It's strange but you may have more than one mobile phone per contact but you can't set it from the phone itself. If you get your contacts from another phone or from google you may have more than one mobile phone. Strange and illogical isn't it

Try to move you contacts to Google, not phone memory, this way you can put multiple mobile phones. What you described happens only for contacts stored in phone memory.
Hi,
This is my first time specifically posting a question as a Q&A style thread so I hope I'm doing this right.
I have been using the Redmi Note 2 for about a month now. Overall, it's been a great phone (especially considering the price). However, I've been experiencing a couple of issues and I am hoping that some of you may be able to help.
I have rooted the phone but have not installed a ROM/kernel.
I have been using Wakelock Detector to track my battery life. Of most significance is com.baidu.map.location (NetworkLocation). I have attached the two screenshots showing the frequency of how often it wakes up my device. I tried to greenify it but it wouldn't allow me - it says "Sorry, "NetworkLocation" is ingreenifiable". Does anyone have any idea for me?
I have also been trying to use Amplify as another means to try and improve battery life. As mentioned, my phone is rooted, and the app prompted me to install the Xposed app which I did. However, after installing the app, it wants me to install the framework but it does not allow me to. I have attached the screenshot of this too.
Nova Launcher - Sometimes when I open the app drawer, the resolution of the app launcher appears funny. To fix it, I normally just press back and go back into the app drawer and it goes back to normal. I have attached a screenshot of what this roughly looks like. This is not a big deal but can be a little annoying. Has anyone experienced this?
SD Maid - I used to use this app on my old Galaxy S3 i9305 to clear out storage space taken up by unnecessary stuff. This app no longer works on this phone. I have attached a screenshot of the issue that I am having.
I have downloaded Auto Call Recorder from the app store with the intention of having it automatically record my phone conversations. It does not work but I am unable to figure out why. I have checked the settings and I cannot identify any obvious setting that is incorrectly configured.
Flynx - I have been trying to use Flynx as it appears to be an incredibly useful app, but it seems something is not working correctly. In the screenshot that I have attached, where it says "Tap on the bubble to open it!" I am assuming there is a bubble that is supposed to appear for me to tap, but it does not appear.
APUS Launcher/Clean Master - finally and maybe most worryingly, I sometimes get 2 or 3 apps "pushed" to my device prompting me to install it. I can only remember 2 at the moment; APUS Launcher and Clean Master. Fortunately, I am asked to give the app permission for installation but it worries me because it has occurred a few times and I did not download it at all. I do not have a screenshot of this at the moment, but I will do it next time it occurs.
I have been told that my provider (Vaya in Australia) sends out a SMS for "automatic update" purposes. I only spotted this because I have noticed that I was charged for 2 separate international SMS on 2 occasions when I did not send them (to a UK number, +44 7786209730). I am not sure whether this one is a phone problem or something else.
I appreciate any of your assistance in advance and I am sorry if I have not provided enough information. I am also not sure as to which issues may simply be app problems as opposed to a problem with MIUI software or Xiaomi.
Hope I will be able to get some assistance!

Does the crash happen when the dialog opens, or when you click the orange entry?
Try giving your sdcard a name, possibly doing it from a desktop computer.
Hi, the crash happens when I click on "Overview" then click on "To start press [refresh icon]" and then you just press there - what normally happens is it will give a overall summary of the phone.
However, I have just tried it again. When that error message comes up, instead of tapping on the listed entry (as is instructed), I press "Done" and it is able to give me a summary!
So for some reason it appears as though it doesn't work (at least from the error message), and I just press done and it still works.
Thanks for your reply nevertheless! Would not have figured that out had you not replied hahaha.
If you just press "done", SD Maid won't have access to your external sdcard.
Did you try installing the Xiaomi EU rom, since it's supposed to be cleaned from chinese apps (Like the baidu one).
Hi all,
Sorry it seems like I never came back to expand what I have done to try and fix these problems.
I ended up changing to Hermes ROM here http://www.smiui.net/redminote2_hermes.php
Most of the issues above are now solved, but there are some that are still present such as #2 and #5. So Amplify still doesn't work, but I think this is a hardware limitation and Auto Call Recorder still doesn't work. As for why Auto Call Recorder doesn't work, I don't know why, but I am not greatly bothered by it so I have not attempted to do anything to resolve that problem.
