Where is the phone app? - HTC EVO 3D

The "phone" app isn't in my app drawer and has disappeared from the lock screen? lol
However, the phone still launches when clicking on the launcher button.
Anybody have this happen?

You did the OTA didn't you? Its a known issue.

I'm pretty sure HTC will fix it with another OTA. A known temp fix would be to hard reset your phone.

I suppose with the official launch Friday, they have enough time to push out another OTA update.

Dialer it's there but the application it self in drawer its missing and because of this we cannot select it for the lock screen shortcuts.
I guess we have to wait for the fix.
BTW loving my EVO 3D.

Wasn't this addressed on Saturday? Is it happening to you now (after updating) or are you just reading about this?

For some reason my phone hasn't found any of the OTA fixes... I did the first OTA (to 1.13.651.7), and now it keeps telling me "There are no updates available for your phone." Any ideas? Thanks!

New ota. Beware.

Some have been saying that it was safe to take the ota... But there is another new one. I am betting it closes the hole. So be careful.

From what they've said, it's not recommended to take future OTAs, so a new one probably won't be safe... but I doubt it closes the hole as I would bet that they don't know what it is yet.
Just because someone discovered it, doesn't necessarily mean that HTC already knows where to find it.
I won't be taking anymore updates, because I don't want to lose the opportunity for root, but I bet this one wouldn't close the hole.
But, thanks for the heads-up about the new one. I haven't noticed it yet. Too busy tearing my phone apart lol.

i just checked and their wasn't another OTA.
Nothing new sense the Launch Day Updates
That's odd because I certainly got a new OTA prompt. And it is the first time that when I decided... The prompt went away.

What was the original one? Because I think this one that prompted me was 1.13.651.7
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I don't think that this a new OTA you are getting. There were 2 that were pushed so far, and that is all Sprint lists on their website.
Something even more interesting though, and looked for the Evo3D Support section and it doesn't exist... I know that it was there about a week ago, just seems odd that there isn't any support section and they don't even show a link for the Evo3D to select as a phone in the support section..
Don't jump to conclusions on the phone not being there, but I would guess that it isn't there for a reason.. Hopefully something good!
OP: The one you were prompted for was the 2nd one.
no new ota atm
No new update for me either.
Is there a way to see the change log for HTC updates?

I think the closest you will get is on Sprint's website. Like I said a few posts back HTC doesn't have the EVO 3D listed anymore on there support section. That is where they used to show you what was in it, a little more detailed than Sprint..
Whats going on there... We can only wonder.

Nope, I just installed the OTA (1.13.651.7 from the 24th.)

No new OTA here. Last time the 3vo had an OTA was the day of public release.

Lockscreen Widget

Maybe someone has seen this and can help. My phone widget on the lockscreen has disapeared. Its just a blank circle now. I tried to go to setting and its not an option anymore. Not sure what has happened. I did not on ota update last night. Think that broke it?
Hullo, I.T., have you tried turning it off and on again...?

[Q] Anyone taking the OTAs in light of HTCs response?

HTC came out said late august early september, in light of this recent news is anyone taking the OTAs?
I've taken all the OTAs without any problems. Phone works great and I have no problems with Free3vo.
Since HTC came forward and said they will unlock I'm debating updating mine.

Launch day stock as well. Old wifey's has all the updates but she's not into root. I think about taking the updates but I always decide not to. Kind of reminds me of my virginity
...nice upgrade from hero
Why wouldnt u take the updates that have already been released? All know root exploits work with the OTAs that have been released..future updates ok i might see not taking but not taking the ones out now doesnt make any sense!!

+1 I recently got a warranty replacement for mine and I debated taking the update for a couple days. I finally decided to do it because the current temp root exploit works with both software versions. I really don't see much point in not taking the update.

Because the OTA updates the bootloader (from v1.30 to v1.40... I think). The current root exploit is only for the OS and when/if s-off is acheived from our devs it may only work on the earlier version. Hboot has control over more than just the OS so if the earlier version has an exploit that the newer version doesn't then everyone who took the OTA may very well be screwing themselves out of s-off until HTC does unlock the bootloader. I myself am going to stay away from any and all updates until either HTC or teamwin or anyone else can give us full root/s-off. My phone runs just fine like it is now, on launch day software.
I just updated to the latest ota, now my dialer icon is gone from the app drawer and lock screen. The dialer is there, but icon is gone... Can someone post the apk for me so I can get the icon back? Thanks.

That's very strange. Any time you need an .apk though you can just open one of the copies of the stock rom in the development section.

Not sure if this will do anything for you but you might need this as well. I tried to attach it on the previous post but it wouldn't let me. You have to rename it to "HtcDialer.odex". I changed it to a .zip because I kept getting invalid file while trying to attach it.
Why are those two dialers different file sizes?

I had this happen, but after a reboot everything came back.
I guess there never was an icon in the app drawer. Just looked at a buddies evo and he doesn't have one either and said there never was.

There is another OTA that fixes the phone icon.
No way OTA.

MeanRom OTA update - [potential screen orientation bug when updating via OTA]

So I get the update notification to go to 3.2, and started downloading. All is well...97% complete and almost there. I tilted my phone from portrait to landscape and the download progress disappeared then got the notification again and had to start completely over from scratch. Anyhow, just wanted to give everyone a heads up if this is an unknown issue...just best to get your dl started and set your phone down until it's complete.
I'm new to the forums and can't post in the main MeanRom thread (yet) to let Mikey know but wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Anyone else run into this?
Its a known issue with the ota updater app.

Software update?

We're supposed to be getting a software update correct?
If I try to search for an update I see the following screen:

Then it just fades away. No "No update available" notice or anything, it just fades away.
Is this normal at all?

From what I've seen so far, they are rolling out the software update only in test markets: Salt Lake City, UT and Austin, TX. You may not be able to get the OTA until it is in wide release.
What's interesting is there is a mention today that they pulled the ISIS mention from the update. At least the version remained the same in the two press releases (2.17.605.2 710RD)

Back story:
I was able to get in before they removed unlocking so I'm actually running Hasoon2000's QX senseless rom and have TWRP installed.
I'm sitting here at work and heard my phone make a noise but wasn't paying attention. Then 10 minutes later it's in the process of rebooting itself. It tossed itself into recovery and looking at the log it tried and failed to install the ota update. I'm a little concerned that it just up and tried to install on it's own without asking (or if it did it had a timer). But either way since i'm not running stock it failed.
I'm in Idaho which no one gives a crap about, so i'd say it's global now!

Well like i said i heard it make a noise, but it was the sound i have set for calendar reminders so i ignored it. I'm assuming that was a prompt, and it probably waited 10 minutes for a response before going for default behavior. I think the most worrying part is default behavior in this case is to auto install.
But since I'm running a custom rom it failed so no harm done... to me at least!!!!

I happened to notice mine was downloading. After it downloaded there was a pop-up warning me it was about to update. There was a 3 minute countdown and a dialog to proceed immediately or defer. I selected defer and it let me set the date and time. Set it for next week so I could see how this potential new root exploit works out.

Mine popped again. I went and killed HTCDM and it hadn't bugged me yet. That might be the process to kill to stop the auto update but I can't say for sure until tomorrow.

Yep killing HTCDM did the trick, my phone is no longer trying to update. I also confirmed from some other posts that HTCDM is the process that checks for updates. So kill it or freeze it if the defer option isn't working (which it doesn't seem to work for anyone) or you're running a custom rom.
