[Q] HTC Hub for Thunderbolt? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Has anyboby been able to port HTC Hub to the Thunderbolt? Don't we need that app for HTCSense .com? I dont think its fair we got a new Sense device and can't use the website. I tried looking for the app in the system dump for the HTC Inspire but had no luck finding it. Maybe it's renamed something different (because there were plenty of apk I had no idea what they were and some are named clearly).
If anyone can find this that would be awesome! It's not fair we don't get the little perks that the HTC site has to offer like wiping phone data if completely lost, GPS tracking, call and message forwarding, typing messages on your phones lock screen from the computer, checking messages and missed calls from computer, finding the phone when on silent and thats just naming a few perks. Maybe we'll have to wait for a ROM to port it.

I was looking for it as soon as i got the phone, got disappointed that it wasn't there

wasnt it announced at CES that TB was going to have access to htcsense.com or am i mistaken?

YES!!! Thats why its not fair. My brother works and VZW corporate and said VZW took it off. Dont know why though.

There's a partial workaround over in the Dev section.

Appreciate it!

A VZW rep I spoke with said they may be introducing their own cloud wipe/locate type solution. Maybe they don't want HTCsense.com to compete.

Yea there is a workaround, but call forwarding and remote wipe do not work.

I have been talking to HTC, the Verizon Thunderbolt is supported. But they have been doing major maintenance on the website the last month. All the features will soon work, I have most of them working now. Just need themes/hub/navigation to get everything working.

how do you have this working? can you get the htc hub app somewhere?

will we be able to use this site when the phone is release?
I doubt it, the site seems to be centered around Sense on Android devices.

it turns out windows live have the same feature as htc. The site can also track your phone and lock and erase phone. I think htc took the idea!
Well... I guess both of them got the idea from Apple's MobileMe. Although remote wipes could be performed on many smartphones before that (through Exchange Active Sync or the Blackberry whatever it's called service).
Still great that MS added this to Windows Live. Especially the possibility to let your phone ring if you're unable to find it will come handy - I "lose" my phone quite frequently in my own flat.
I think there was a rumor some few weeks ago saying the HTC devices will get an update with the HTCSence.com features, but nothing right now.

[MOD] VZW 3g hotspot app for froyo leak

How to use the 3g hotspot app for free
I looked and looked and didnt find this anywhere except for eclair and just got done doing mine a little bit ago as the steps are different now.
You used to be able to select dial up mode in wireless settings but now if you have the new froyo leak. Now you dial **usbui and change usb mode to modem. Plug in to pc fire up qpst add port once you see phone select start clients/service programming. next click read from phone, password should be typed in already as 000000. scroll over to m.ip and select the active profile, should be profile 0 and change tethered nai to [email protected] the phone will reboot and your good to go start tethering with apmode. Some may choose to reenter the usb modem settings and change it back to pda(the first step) but i do not see it as neccessary. If this has been posted by someone else already feel free to delete and if in wrong catagory feel free to move.
Just remember these steps are for FROYO leak anly not for eclair users although they may work for that also just dont have an eclair phone to test on.
I have done this for a long time and never encoured any charges although i am not liable for any problems you may come across, ive never had any. As long as your not seeing the verizon webpage when you access web via your phone then your set.
Any questions feel free to ask but i may just tell you to google it.
There was a reason you didn't find threads on it.

There is supposedly monitoring built into dl30 that allows verizon to track tethering

Why can't that file just be removed from the ROM? Would it cause the rom to just not work at all?
Forgive me for probably not using the correct terminology but does the mobile hotspot app handle tethering the same as say the wifi tether app? I just wonder if one sets off the flag to verizon where the other wouldn't.

It will break wifi if you remove the module. It ties into dhd.ko, the wifi driver.
Play nice everybody
Just got off the phone with Verizon. Been using the 3g hotspots for several days now tethered more then a gig so and I called and just asked if I was being billed for the hotspots app and they said there is nothing on my account about it that I've never had it and I would never be charged for it unless I actually signed up by changing my plan. So I'm gonna keep using mine. If anything changes I will let everyone know but I personally believe it is safe to use. I think that moniters for when you hit the 5 gig mark on your data then they start to throttle it. But this is just my opinion. But I think its a good one.;-)
Not to mention I've been using it for a pretty long while on eclair before froyo.
In fact I'm tethering right now to my gtab.
I have a couple problems with that.
First, if you admitted it, your account was likely flagged.
Second, VZW reps change their stories each time you call.
The monitor wasn't in place on eclair.

If it's any consolation, VZW doesn't have a flagging system, at least not one the frontline reps can access, so mentioning it on a call won't flag you. And the reason the stories change each time you call is because you might get a guy that's adept at what he does on the first call, then the next call you might get an outsourced moron from AFNI, and the next time get a person taking their first week of calls....
When you call, they are going to the features list, and looking for the feature called "Mobile Broadband Hotspot 2GB $20". Upon seeing it is not there, that is what they tell you.
What you NEED is a tech rep (like myself) to go into the back-side of the billing system or the switch, and check your records there. The switch will tell me if something is 'off' about your data, like if a rate limit has been added. The billing system will tell me if there are DUN (dial up networking) connections being reported. But, in all likelihood, the groups doing any kind of monitoring are **NOT** the folks taking your calls. They work in the switches or corporate, and their goings-on are a mystery to us that do take your calls. So, they could be minutely tracking each byte and I, as a tenured Tech rep, wouldn't have the foggiest idea what they were doing.
Just to share with you how 'in the loop' we in the call centers are kept, I had an engineer call me last week complaining that his test device couldn't authenticate phone calls. I asked for the number, and it pulls up a device listed as "Test Device 7". I asked for the make/model of the phone, and he tells me, "I can't tell you that, it's unreleased and classified". I then tell him, without even a brand, I can't create a new authentication key and give him steps to program it into the phone. He still wouldn't tell me anything, so I told him to seek help with the person that gave him the top secret phone and hope they can do my job too.
if the op wants to disregard the warnings and tether...then by all means tether...but theres a reason monitoring was put into froyo...and i cant imagine it was for our benefit...so meh

Is it possible to modify the file, this is way over my head but if the file points to a certain location to send the info, maybe we can modify that address and avoid been flagged by verizon...

I didnt admit it i told them a family member had my phone and when i got it back the hotspot app was on my homescreen and wasnt for sure what they did with it. Besides even if they do charge me which i doubt they will its only gonna be 30 bucks. I can handle that to let everyone else know what really happens. But its just like people worryjng about sending back rooted phones with changes for warrenty replacements. I just wipe my numbers out and send it rooted boot animation changed everything even a custom rom and theme one time. They dont pay attention to the phones. They get them plug them in and flash them to stock. Just mt two cents. When i recieve my feb bill ill let you know whether or not i get charged anythjng for tethering.

I think I remember something about sprint family tracker. You could check that out, but I think your gps has to have been on.
Depending on how smart the person that picked it up is, you may be able to install a tracking app from the Market from your computer and find it(as long as they haven't logged out of your account). You may be surprised. I would retrace my steps and see if anyone turned it in. Since it is a Saturday night I would assume that most likely you left it at a restaurant or bar. I would go back to each one of them(once they open) and see if someone turned it in. If not, you will have to report it stolen and get a new one through TEP if you have it. I always, ALWAYS carry TEP on my phones. It's a lot easier to come up with $100 deductible then to come up with $600 to buy one outright.
Ok. I'm sober now drinking my coffee.
I had a beer pong table set out on my lawn (I own a lot of land and am going to be combing it today) but I know its not there. I got in the car with somebody to get cigs (with baggy sweat pants on) at the local convenient store. I went back to the store (piss drunk) and asked the two girls if they've seen it and nada ****ING thing (its not in either of the two vehicles either)
I've called and texted my phone a million times (I have to slow down or my battery will die). I do have the $100 dollar insurance but am bummed out about the new hboot.
What's the name of the app that tracks it and how do I install it to my phone from either my tabs or PC?
Thanks guys.

The name of the app is Plan B. It's by the same company as Lookout.
Here's what it says on their website: "Lookout has an app called Plan B which can locate your phone after you've lost it. The phone needs to be powered on and have a network and data connection. Just go to the online Android Market (http://market.android.com), log into your Android Market account, and install the app to your missing phone. If you are able to install the app and it runs, you will begin to get emails to the Gmail account that you have registered with the Android market with location information."
I also read after you install it, you have to send a text that says "locate." I've even read where someone didn't start getting the emails til the next day. The phone had died, but then the person who had it recharged it!
Oh, yeah. After you install the app to your phone, install Lookout to your tablet, just in case. Not only can you do the locate thing, but Lookout also examines any app you download for malware.
Hope this helps. Keep us posted.

If you set up your account in HTC hub to use skins and you turned on the phone finder go to greener.com log on with the account you set up and you should be able to use that to find your phone.
The app they are talking about is called lookout you can google Android market on your computer to get it but I don't think it will install it but I could be wrong.
EDIT:looks like it will install it once that is done go to lookout.com and set up the account and hopefully that will work. there is also an app called where is my droid that might help here it the link to it https://market.android.com/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid&feature=search_result

You can log into the market from your computer and have it install plan b on your phone remotely . The phone of course has to be on and your gmail account still linked on the phone. Plan b is for when you have already lost your phone and didn't have a tracking app installed. I just installed the sprint tep app that does the same thing as lookout for for free(I'm guessing you need to have tep for it to work?) That won't help now(plan b is your best shot) but it will help in the future if you ever misplace your phone

[Q] HTC Watch keeps asking for update

I have noticed that on pretty much every Rom HTC Watch asks to update, but the update finds nothing new. Has anyone found a solution for this problem?

Well, the thing is I use HTC Watch. Tmobile actually gives you a $10 credit with the phone. It's not bad actually and I was just hoping someone had a solution for it. At most I found a workaround by using the widget instead of the app icon itself. It's not the best workaround, but it does the job so far. Anyone else notice this problem though?
Yeah, I'm having the same problem and I'm on stock rom. so, it's a problem on htc's side...

any update?
Same issue here.
Started using my EVO 3D again a few weeks ago when HTC Watch had the .05 cent weekend movies. So for the past few weeks i have been renting and watching and yesterday i got a notification for an update for HTC Watch. However when i click OK it takes me to HTC Software Updates, when i click check for update No Updates are found.
Essentially making my Watch useless.
The only work around i found was to create the full page widget and select my movies there.
I have an EVO 3D GSM and what I did to fix the issue was this:
dial *#*#682#*#* (the dial pad disappears and you see your up/down arrows for your data signal light up) and the phone automatically tries to do a software look up with HTC. It told me that I have a HTC Watch update. I downloaded it and it finally installed correctly.

Roam control stole my money. RESOLVED

This is just a heads up to anyone thinking about buying roam control. I purchased it a few weeks ago, then had to clear my rom and reinstall everything. Now I can't get it to reactivate through the verification process.

I've had that issue before. It took a day or so before my code was sent back. By any chance did you have the app backed up with Titanium Backup Pro? With the pro version you can restore your device id(that some app licenses are attached to) which gets wiped on fresh installs. I had this issue 2x's with Roam control and went ahead and purchased Titanium Pro. Haven't had an issue since.

Yeah Roam Control is the only one that does that for me. I assume it's because it's purchased outside of the Play Store.
I just bought Roam Control on 5/28/13 using PayPal and the activation code I was sent (automated system) does not work. I have sent TWO e-mails to the developer without a reply! !
I have to say I have two codes and neither are working. Just bought one for a different phone 5/29/13 and I'm not getting any response either.
Add me to the mix. Unresponded emails. Working in the past now since updating ROM, no-go!!
Huh, that's sad to see. I bought Roam Control last year (or longer, don't remember how far back exactly.) and messed with it for a few days. This was right after Google started the 15min preview crap.
I emailed the developer, explaining I had forgotten about the 15min preview cap and that the app wasn't working for me, saying that roaming was getting exactly the same amount of signal strength in my area, defeating the purpose of roaming, and he gladly refunded me the next day and explained how he understood and how he doesn't really like the 15min cap either.
Hope you guys get sorted and he's just on vacation or something.
I have used it when I was with sprint and I can still use it when I use CDMA but I bought it through the android market. Bought it almost 2 1/2 years ago.
