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 they had released an update for htc watch a month or two ago, but to get the update u have to be stock. Maybe has somethin to do with it idk, just a thought

its just bs. JUst do the update and be done with it....stupid bloatware.theres no porn channel on htc watch so useless to me
cant you just freeze or remove your htc update or whatever htc utilizes for updates?
I did that with the moto stuff on my dx, saved me from 621 hell.
use TB and freeze it.
Yeah just uninstall that junkware... It's no good anyway. #netflix #huluplus

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.

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.

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.

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?
I've been getting random reboots.
3 times since I got it. Since yesterday this thing has been freezing and locking up and just frustrating the crap out of me.
I haven't taken any ota cause I want root.
Thanks for any input.

Take the OTA
Root was achieved on a device that already had the ota. I took it and my phone works great.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
the reccomendation, however, is to not take any further OTAs. I personally am not taking any... because I don't know if the new hboot prevents a downrev to the eng hboot.

Yeah I would wait until s-off. Root will be here soon try a factory reset
Can s-off come out and play? You run but you can't hide
I'd rather be guaranteed root than an ota. I'd try a hard reset first.
Damn. Too late. But I got the ota that made the phone disappear from the lock screen so I think I'm safe. I wont take anymore.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA Premium App
The ota has nothing to do with the freezing. I had the ota and the same thing kept happening to me. I took My phone back and got a new one. This time I didn't take the ota and I don't have any issues. I think some of the phones are just buggy. If you have a 3vo then you have one out of the first batch. HTC makes great phones, but they don't always get it right. Remember how buggy the TP and the TP2 were.
I got one of the phones with no dead pixels and stuff. I don't wanna risk taking it back and getting one even worse.
After the ota things feel much better. Let's see if the same thing happens. If it does, any ideas what to do? Wait for root and put a better rom? Or get it replaced?

So I guess the person I spoke to is full of ****. I called Sprint yesterday to get a replacement and I was told once you replace the phone during the first 30 days, you cannot get another replacement. I see he is a liar since you already got 3.
It's not YOUR fault if the phone came defective.

this 4th phone better be pristine..
1) no locks
2) is able to charge
3) sharp. clear white colors
or else, im calling sprint again and will order as many damn evo3ds before my 30 day is up .. i shouldnt have to go through so many to be happy like i was for the first 24 hours of my first 3d.

It was Sprint customer service that I spoke to. Took me 3 different people to finally send me a replacement. The first two were telling me I needed to go into a Sprint store to have the moron tech in the back "look" at it. I know the phone is having problems, I dont need this guy to tell me that. What also pissed me off was my friend telling me he was on the phone with them for 10 minutes and had a new phone on the way. I kept getting the run and around and wanted to choke someone. Customer service is definitely good, but they have a few morons here and there.
My phone suffers from the not sleeping issue, so I asked customer support about replacing it. I asked what would happen if the replacement I got also ended up being defective, and they told me that I could get it replaced again.
I'm just scared of getting one that's worse than what I have. The sleep issue is the only big problem. My screen is also slightly rotated and is a little warmer in colors, but those aren't tooooo major. No dead pixels or anything. I just hope my replacement has no issues at all. I can deal with the warmer colors on the screen, but that's as far as I'd want it to go.
Now after two hard resets my phone is stuck in 3D mode. After wiping ENTIRE phone twice my camera won't work LOL. Weird thing is, soon as I hit camera there's just a black screen, then I switch over to 3D it puts my ENTIRE rom in 3D. I'm not joking. The homescreen and everything is doubled and fuzzy like the 3D is stuck. Im so disappointed with this phone I don't what to say......screw the 3rd phone man I don't even want a third one. P.S I'm typing this on the new 3D feature the xda app has that I wasn't aware of :rolls eyes:

My first EVO that I bought on launch day was having some issues. Sense reloading, WiFi not disconnecting after I left my house, 3g sucked, battery life wasn't the greatest, and just seemed laggy. The guys at best buy tried argueing with me and said to reproduce the issues. I was able to show them the 3g connection and my WiFi issue. The guys tried telling me the WiFi was because the phone will automatically connect to all open access points. This is where we started to argue for a minute or two. I told them that was BS, we argued for a few seconds then I cut him off and asked, "Are u going to honor your return policy or what?" I hate it when Best Buy employees try to act that they know everything.
Anyways, the second EVO is running great. WiFi acts normal, way less lag, battery has gone for 2 full days without being charged and moderate use. And sense hasn't reloaded one time yet. Im really glad I traded it out for another instead of just returning. I'm going to give it one more week before I root. I'm missing my apps from my OG EVO.

HTC has a built in feature called SmartSync, which disables data after a period of non-use for deep sleep. If you check the dev threads, there's a fix for it, but it requires some smali editing. Some of the more recent roms have it built in. So the whole WiFi/3G disconnect thing is actually a feature believe it or not...lol
I believe I am lucky. Even though there are the multitasking issued, which everyone has, my EVO has never done the loading sense home screen thing... And I run some memory hoggin apps. Grindr, last.fm, maps, xda, browser, mail. Never had the reload show up yet.

question: do i have to go to the same store i bought it at to exchange it?
I understand your pain dealing with people that are less knowledgeable than you (a Sprint rep tried to tell me that the SD card on my phone could be what was causing the reception issues if the card was 32gigs, no joke). However, try to understand that most of the time these people are just following instructions set forth by their employers. When things usually start to escalate like that, stay polite and ask for a manager. Believe me, it works better.
Anyway, I'm glad you got a non-defective phone and can start to enjoy it

I exchanged my first EVO LTO for frequent reboots at a Sprint Corporate store, 2nd one perfect!
On my third LTE. Should have kept the first one. Hope the new shipment BB gets is better than the ones they had last week.
First LTE: Dust under glass and slight light leakage
Second: Pixel stuck in on position and screen has the flex/ripple issue when under medium pressure
Third: Has flex/ripple issue as well and wifi on this one and 3 G has been worse than the first two
Next shipment comes in Friday. Crossing my fingers for a GOOD one!
My first was light leakage and second was ripple and all I can find around here all have the ripple, hope this goes away in the upcoming batches...

Omg I would switch to another phone after the first one Wtf is wrong with you guys. There are more superior phones oops did I just say that yes I did.
I had to return my first one as well. I was not getting calls txt or voice mails. Data worked find but nothing else.
exchanged it at best buy, and all my messages came through right away.
I suspect that it was not a phone issue but an activation issue.

You mean like the Galaxy S3, the phone that will have zero problems on launch day? Good luck. My first Evo had a bad pixel, and I am waiting on the replacement. I was going to get the SG3 instead, but after reading the UK SG3 threads, there are a lot of issues. I decided that the Evo is best for me. Whether it is superior or not is subjective.
Yeah, as stated above, it will have issues. Hell, go to the S3 forums here at xda and review the complaints of various folks.
In the end, my EVO is imperfect, but as usual with HTC, software updates will fix these annoyances, so I'll be patient.

It is amazing to have the chance to compare two different phones. I ended up unfortunately having that experience after I dropped my brand new EVO LTE in the toilet. My first phone I noticed that it didn't auto dock on my car dock even with the option turned on.
Haven't tried the camera on the new phone but old phone seemed like it didn't take sharp pictures like I was expecting but ones that were more out of focus than really blurry.
