I am trying to start the journey into rooting and installing custom ROM's. I am trying to start by unlocking the bootloader. However, I am trying to register at the htcdev.com site so I can start the process, but they are not sending me the activation email. I tried a few times and no emails. I was wondering if anyone else has had the same experience and if there is any other way to unlock the bootloader instead of waiting for an email that hasn't come in over an hour now. Thanks
I've experienced the same problem. I've attempted to register at HTCdev four times now. I never receive a confirmation email (used four different email accounts). The activation email is a no-show over five hours after submitting the registration information (not in spam folder either).
This essentially makes rooting via the HTC method impossible.
Check your spam filters!
I had to dig mine out of the spam folder.
Checked all spam folders numerous times. The activation emails simply aren't being sent.

I did four different email addresses and nothing came. I checked the spam folders on all of them, and nothing there either. I guess I will have to postpone rooting, which sucks because when I finally have the nerve to do it, this happens. Something is definitely wrong over at HTC.
Yeah, I used two Gmail addresses, a Yahoo! address, and a Hotmail. None worked.
If you'd like to email their support (can't help to have more people emailing), this is their support email address:
[email protected]
Didn't work for me either, sent email to support crew.

I just sent them an email too. Hopefully we get something, because I was really getting into the rooting thing.
Same here 4 diff emails and no verification email sent. I tried there support email and it said it was a invalid email addy???
Still nothing. If anyone gets lucky and gets something or figures out a way, please share. Because as it stands, we can no longer unlock the bootloader through HTC.

you could always just leave the screen protector that comes on the phone when you un box it. My wife did that with her phone until her we got her a screen protector.
Glad to hear that some people are getting emails back.

The sales associate took off our screen protectors when he turned on the phone to register the SIM card and do something else to it.
Oh yeah, transfer contacts and data.
I know, it sucked. I always leave those on for as long as they will stay.
The Sensation I'm using now still has it's original screen protector on.
I've had it for 2 weeks now.
Hi all. I have the sg2 and I love it. Running Calkunlins E4GT v2.8.1 Rom and it flies. Great battery really nothing to complain about until you have to read an email. I use exchange server for business and rely heavily on my phone for emails. I have called Samsung, chatted with Samsung and emailed with Samsung about this issue and none seams to know what I am talking about or how to resolve the issue. I came from the HTC Evo and this was not an issue. I have tried several different ROMS and I have checked with other people who have the same phone and we all have the same problem. Frankly I am surprised there isn't a fix or more people complaining about this. The issue is the text does not wrap in emails and a word will be broken and split between 2 lines. This makes it very annoying to read emails on my phone and I read a lot of emails. I have attached a screenshot of an example. If anyone know how to resolve this issue I would love to know. I have tried looking in all the settings for a way to format it but I cannot seem to find anything. When I called Samsung they basically told me they didn't have a solution and they were sorry. When I chatted with them they told me to call, and when I repeatedly emailed them about the issue even after I told them in an email that when I called they had no answer they continuously told me to call. They had no interest in attempting to figure out why this is happening. thanks for your time.
**Solved**
Hey all -
Ok, so, i remembered that I installed CHOMP on my android device the night that all of this started happening for me.
I have since uninstalled CHOMP and now use STOCK and HANDCENT. Using my own iPhone 4 on AT&T, I am NO LONGER able to reproduce this crashing behavior using HANDCENT or STOCK - regardless of how large in size the MMS is. I have read on other forums that CHOMP was used as well.
There is just one instance of a person crashing a bunch of phones in a store as a test - and I wanted to see if it was CHOMP that he used.
To add to this solution, can anyone confirm that they used CHOMP (or CHOMP was used) when you noticed this issue?
Thanks a ton in advance, and hopefully this can be laid to rest.
Matt!
Hey all,
**Update** I just confirmed this. I fixed the signal drop loop from my original post be restoring my iPhone to an earlier backup. Problem 100% solved. AS SOON as I sent an MMS from my VZW HTC Rezound, (and I even limited it to less than 600kb), by iphone went into the signal drop loop. 30 seconds with service, 30 seconds without service, and this repeats endlessly.
I don't understand how there can't be more talk about this. I called AT&T twice and talked to Tier 2 tech support - they were clueless, so i at least filled them in.
Here's my original post.
This is crazy! I have an ATT iPhone suffering from it as well as a friend. Both phones have had MMS sent from my VZW Rezound. It seems that CDMA Verizon MMS to GSM AT&T iPhone will instantly crash the iPhone....

This happened to me yesterday and didn't think of it much just restarted my phone. Today though it happened again and right now i realized i was chatting with a buddy of mine on AT&T. I was wondering why no one texted back till i saw that every text was on wait.
My friend doesn't have iPhone but just a regular old school razr flip phone and he doesn't get ANY pictures I send him, only a blank text.

I noticed when I send a pic or MMS to an iPhone I have to use the stock messaging service to get it to go through. It will say it has been sent through ChompSMS but it is never received by any iPhone so far.
Are you using the stock messaging app or a third party?

I noticed that too.
There must be 30 people I work with who have iphones & when I was using Handcent (which I must have used in 6 phones previous to the rezound) it caused all kinds of MMS issues with iphone users. This is a serious problem for me as we use MMS all the time where I work.
Now, with the Rezound & a red theme I really like the stock messaging app so I never installed Handcent and now my MMS go through just fine to everybody.

Ya but he used to get pictures when I sent it from my Xperia play.
Actually,
This all happened when I installed Chomp (go figure). I'll test it with handcent using my own iphone. I'll try Stock MMS a few times first.

I can confirm this behavior. Plus Chomp crashes intermittently when sending MMS (from VZW) and I can repeat this behavior. I don't think I had this problem in earlier versions of Chomp.

Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.
Do you guys happen to have your browsers synced to chrome on your pc? My wife, and I share our search history through chrome. If you look in google now, it displays your search history from your browser as well. This could be it, though I am just taking a stab at it.

Something similar is happening to me. I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

I am not alone! Thanks for the reply!
You think it is Verizon doing this not Google? Either way it seems like a big breach in privacy that should be addressed. I have 5 phones attached to the family plan and I will be taking a look at another phone to see if it has it as well. I am the primary phone on the account so it may be be somehow related to that.
I agree it is definitely related to Chrome app browser. I forgot chrome is a separate entity from Google Now.

Well, I thought it was Google associating the Verizon account or something. But, turns out, it was definitely something local to the phone. This has been going on for a while for me, and I finally got tired of it, so I completely factory rest my phone. That finally cleared it up. However, I want to stress, I'm 100% sure I didn't have my wife's account logged into my phone. She's crazy about security and changes her password every couple months (last time was last week, and the issue has been going on longer than that, so it's literally impossible).
I will say, at some point in the past I did have her account on there when we needed to get access to her email for something. My current theory is that there was still a "ghost" of the account still on there somehow associated with Chrome. But really, I'm just grasping at straws. All I know is a factory reset fixed it.

The ghost file theory makes no sense / isn't plausible for my situation. I completely wipe and factory reset my phone at least once a month for ROM purposes. I have never have used her phone for any personal accounts or anything like that. She does not even have the Chrome app on her phone.
Something else is up with this. . .
Is it just me or does this seem like a somewhat serious issue?

So I am in the UK on GiffGaff which uses the O2 network. My wife and I both have Nexus 4s. When she searches on her phone it comes up in my google now but not in hers! The only link we have is that I ordered her phone from my Google account.
The phone itself was registered and has only ever been used with her account though. Could it be because we're on the same WiFi network?
I suppose a solution was never found?
This just started happening with me and my girlfriend. I have a nexus 4 and she has an iPhone 4s. I'm on T-Mobile, she's on att. My searches do not show up on her phone. And something she searched on her phone while stuck in traffic also showed up on my phone when I wasn't anywhere near her. Though I suppose it could've been some sort of WiFi sync when she got home. Anyone still trying to figure this out?

Afraid not. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, the two never cross polinate.
I think I would have worked that out by now. I have never signed in on her laptop.
But, when she searches on her phone, it comes up in my google now.
Something I find with google now is it doesn't show searches from the phone's chrome browser as suggestions, just those from other devices. For some reason it thinks her phone is one of my devices. It doesn't think my phone is one of hers though?
So Mr WolfePack, now solve the case!
Did any of you guys even try what I mentioned above? The least you could do is reply back saying it doesnt work.

Im thinking the same thing lol.
Lately the touchscreen on my phone has been acting weird. The calibration seems off and I've recalibrated it a few times but didn't help. It's been difficult to text, scroll in apps, unlock my phone etc. And at times it will scroll between homescreens all by itself.
Anyone else have this problem?
