Good morning !
Made the jump, pretty happy about it...however, when I am trying to use the HTC Manager in Mac OS to get all my contacts information (and etc) from the latest iPhone 4 backup, the HTC Manager only shows or give me choices of some back ups I did back in 2011. I wish there was an option where you can tell the HTC Manager which iPhone back up you would like to connect to.
Anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks a lot !!!!

Ok, now that I've had my phone for like 5 days. I am wondering how to do a couple more things to it.
First off, I got this used and it was completely as it would be from Sprint. Since then I've done the following.
1. Installed WM6.1 Update from Sprint
2. Installed Picture Mail Feature from Sprint
3. Installed Oxios memory app
4. Installed HTC Home Plugin
5. Installed S2U2, S2P, S2V
6. Samsung Omnia 3d Driver
7. Kaiser 10 button comm manager
8. Google Maps
I'm sure there might be a couple insignificant ones I am forgetting.
What I want to do, if possible is...
1. Make favorite contacts screen in HTC Home Plugin act differently. Right now if you push one of those contacts it goes directly to calling them and starts dialing. At the least I'd like to make it NOT auto-dial.
Ideally, I'd like them to link to the screen you get when you browse to them thru contacts, where you get a choice to call or text them.
I'd definitely settle for it not auto dialing though.
2. S2u2 I am having a slight issue with, when I receive a phone call, s2u2 bugs out. The screen flickers back and forth from the s2u2 screen and the today screen, and I can't unlock the phone to answer the call. I can only hit the talk button to answer it.
I'm running the latest version, are there any compatibility issues I might be running into.
3. Lastly, I am always looking for good suggestions on other applications to add. If anyone knows where I can find a good texas holdem game like the iphone has, that'd be cool.
What is the Sprint picture mail feature you speak of? It is an official release from sprint???
And I've had trouble with s2u2 as well. I just stuck with version 1.18. That seems like the most stable one for me.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
my phone just got real bad to the point it would freeze when i tried to reply to texts. I never had an issue until I installed and used the no2chem nueled thing to get rid of the constant blinking light...wonder if that messed with it.
I ended up re-loading the htc wm6.1 sprint rom.
I couldn't figure out what else to do there.
Sprint picture mail is available from sprint, the default sprint page that loads when you open IE has a link to look for new applications, then its in the free/demo section.
Hi guys
Little help needed.. I've had the phone since Aug 09. Had loads of problems with it, but have now decided after nearly a year to update phone as I've lost all notification lights, the charging light, etc. etc. It's not a great phone at the moment!
Donwloaded latest ROM from the HTC site, plugged in phone, and it wouldn't work. Something about the abl, or acb? Wouldn't connect properly when searching etc.
Anyway round it, Tried disconnecting from net, but figure it needs the connection. But didn't work either way.
Is the latest Orange update the one to go for? Does it help the lousy signal, the frozen text messages?
When it says you lose all data, can someone clarify that for me please? Numbers, Sim card info, Phone numbers info, Pics, Music, Email set ups? etc. etc.?
Thanks
Which ROM have you tried?
If you haven't tried it yet, try the VillainROM 12 I think its pretty stable.
Hi, its the latest one for Orange on the HTC forum, but that's not the problem.
It's the fact I can't get the programme to take. It's that ab thing that keeps stopping me and the ROM just exits..
If your ROM is rooted then you shouldn't install the HTC official updates, instead look at the developers forum here and try ROMs from there. For example VillainROM 12 and many others are based on the latest official HTC update.
If your ROM is not rooted, I am not sure what the problem is. Assuming you don't want to root it, maybe you can get support either from HTC or from the shop you bought it at.
Have you got the latest HTC Sync installed?
Hi
Thanks for your replies.
No, not rooted, not anything, since I got it 12 months ago. Other than plugging into pc to transfer pics which always worked. HTC sync? Not aware of?
Never updated Rom ever, but its given me so much grief over the last year, I get maybe 2 web pages and then it freezes for ages and the green line sits for 10 mins before another page. Is that the nature of this phone? Would an update make a difference to that problem?
I downloaded few apps the other night and removed them and now all lights notifications and charging lights don't work. Typing is so laggy and painful to do. Texts won't scroll for minutes...
I just can't understand how everyone says this phone is so great?
I know its a year old now but its always been like this.
Any help much appreciated.
Install HTC Sync and you're problems should go away, though you may need to boot into fastboot and install the driver for that too for the update to work. I can describe that if necessary.
Thanks again ...
Fastboot? Lost me on that one
What does the Rom update erase?
Will try this tomorrow and see if I can get sync on there
You lose everything, but considering the problems you're having this may not be a bad thing. You can backup certain data without root access (such as texts i believe) but that is about it. Check out SMS Backup & Recovery for that. HTC Sync will do contacts (though you should really be using Google contacts by now rather than phone or sim).
Having said that you should lose nothing on your SD card, but I would format that after putting the new system on just in case (so backup to computer etc).
I'll explain fastboot if it's needed. Post back detailed error messages if you get any after installing HTC Sync.
Thank you for your help. I will attempt that when I'm at home, can't do at work.
Forgot to ask, have many others had the phone switching itself off problem? It still does this, and only when you remove battery will it switch on again. No idea why, but you can press every button and nothing doing till battery is removed. Love to know what causes that...
I'm a great ad for this phone huh.
I clicked on Market the other day and it has completely changed, yet my daughter's phone, exactly the same as mine, still has the "old" Market, as do two mate's phones.
Does anyone else have this, or have I clicked on something I shouldn't have?
I want the old one back!
PS: Just noticed it's Build Version 3.1.3.
I also noticed that it's a tad slower than the old market..
On my phone new market is more fast! (on Nexus S)
in mine (desire hd) also faster.
Thanks for the replies.
I've also noticed that if I turn Market off after starting a download, it stops downloading/installing, whereas the old version didn't.
Also, I just discovered that you can scroll sideways for Top Paid, Top Free, Top Grossing, etc., and something called 'Trending'.
If you don't like it hit Menu, go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, All, Market and hit uninstall updates.

Thanks Dastin, but I've kinda got used to it now, once you suss out how it works it is actually quicker, and getting easier, plus, now I know I can get rid of it I feel better.
I still wonder why it chose my phone to update itself, and not on other's phones.
Not a fan of the new market...
It's slower on my Phone, and it's too messy!
My phone hasn't still got the new market... But I downlaoded and installed it manually from here.
New Market is very good in UI and the way it presents the applications to its users is simply awesome!!!
So I am using HTC sync manager for OSX version 2.0.56 which as of right now is the latest version. It seems that the itunes support portion of the software has been removed. I am posting to find out if any other OSX users out there can confirm that they have this problem as well.
I am trying to determine if the problem is htc sync manager or if the problem is with my phone. I am running Elegancia 4.8.0 for the ATT HOX+
I'd rather not go back to stock and find out if it's a phone problem or an HTC problem.
On another note, even when it does work HTC Sync is an abortion of a program. It's slow as all hell, crashes, and is generally just complete garbage. Does any one have any suggestions for syncing music and playlist to their phone and NOT using doubletwist air sync. air sync is another waste of time. The wifi syncing is totally stupid and takes hours upon hours. My phone generally cannot complete the sync session as the phone runs out of battery while syncing, even when plugged into the charger!
This is a huge problem for me, and is making me consider going back to the iPhone. Why is it nobody can get syncing music right except apple? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Android file transfer, as far as I know the program comes directly from Google and it let's you view your phone as a disk drive when using a mac. The only problem I've run into is that if the screen turns off the program "ejects" your phone as you would a thumb drive. I have about 12GB of music and this is what I use to transfer everything to my phone. Just be sure to put all your music in a folder titled music and you shouldn't have any problems.

Thanks, the only problem I have with using android file transfer is that it lacks the true features of syncing. I have always thought the android method of just drop some files in and hope for the best is not really a solution. Without a way to sync, I can't get my playlist on there or remove files quickly when I want them gone. This is one area where the iphone has android beat. As you can see by the lack of responses there is just nothing else out there that works as well.
Thanks anyway.
On my previous phone I used "iSyncer for iTunes-Mac" you can do the exact same thing as you would in iTunes it just goes much quicker. I haven't used it for this phone yet because I just haven't had a need. Just plug the phone into the computer, it will then ask you to download a small application on your computer that can access iTunes and you should be good to go from there. I know you mentioned that you didn't like double twist, I was never able to get that program to work right as far as album art, keeping the same albums and the same artist together but I have had great success with isyncer.

I tired isyncr but it did not see my device. part of the problem is the connects vis mda and does not mount the drive with traditional methods. this problem is driving me nuts. I considered going back to the iPhone but after using the big screens the iPhone seems like a toy your get in a cereal box and not a serious device. maybe I should just get an ipad.

Hi everyone.
I'm at the point of losing my mind with this bloody app helium..
When I first used the app for my nexus 7 too galaxy nexus it was fantastic and did everything I expected it to do,
so much so I bought it for like £2.
I currently have 3 devices now, Nexus 7 tablet, Galaxy nexus phone and P880 LG...
im gonna be selling the Gnexus and moving onto the p880.
The problem now is that two bugger apps hillclimbracing and fail hard wont seem to restore from either
dropbox, google drive or by finding it from the wifi list and copying it across the network.
The app says "back up complete" however they wont restore to the other device, it just fails (I have also checked and made sure that the apps are not running in the background before I try to overwrite them)
the p880 and Gn are both rooted and running MIUI and the Nexus7 is rooted and using stock rom 4.4.2
all permissions are set to allow...
can anyone recommend another app that might just do the job without the head ache?
one thing I don't get with helium is when you go to restore and app and its not installed
its wanting to connect to play to download it first, then over write it?
I was also wondering if games like this have copy protection on them but I don't see why
when they are free?
