2016? - Touch CDMA General

is anybody else on sprint getting their text messages coming in dated for 2016
all of mine since new years has been doing it

I've noticed it too. Weird huh?

its def weird and mildly annoying, i thought it was just my phone at first so i switched back to my vogue and it was still doing the same, i have talked to a few of my friends and they have had the issue with WinMo also i dont know if its just 6.1 doing it though.
hopefully it gets fixed if not android here i come
also i was seeing if anybody else was having the issue or it was just something weird in my area

It's a carrier issue, and isn't limited to just Windows Mobile
Here's a fix: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=11827

This can solve your problem

This can solve your problem

I read somewhere about a bank that on the new year jumped to 2016 too... weird.

yeah for some reason the only time i get 2016 when i get a new sms message,but when i send one out it says the correct year "2010"(happy new btw lol)..

yea thats how it was with mine 2016 coming in mine being sent in real time.
but that cab that was first posted worked like a champ

Well this all explains alot then. Good to know I'm to crazy.

This fix seems to only work on new texts. Does this change the old texts to 2010 for any of you?

it will fix it to 2010 only if that person that is coming up 2016 texts you again. official HTC fixes started comig out yesterday and they are phone specific.

The official fix for the HTC Touch (Sprint) is available on the HTC website... I did not check to see if other CDMA and/or GSM carriers are fixed. I have installed and no more 2016

CDMA Hero for Sprint

Hey guys, I was wondering about the CDMA version of the Hero. I've been reading through all of the mod forums and development postings, etc etc, but none of them are in regards to the CDMA version. I am assuming that flashing the CDMA version with an official GSM ROM will brick the phone, so what do you do? I also understand that the CDMA version won't be officially released until October 11th, but what if someone has an early release of it and wants to mod it?
I would really appreciate any feedback or advice.
Thanks!!!
There are very few Sprint Heros around for review purposes and whatnot, and maybe some dev phones but who knows. There is no CDMA ROM yet for it. It's up to the people who have the phones in their hands to extract the ROM and tweak it for root use.
I knew that since this was the first US CDMA Android phone that it would be a little while until anyone was able to extract the Roms, But from all of the videos I have seen of the new Sprint Hero they all say version 1.5 I thought that CDMA would not be supported until build 1.6, I'd like to know if Donut will be on this version of Hero when it's released

Not necessarily! The main difference should be the radio, which can be flashed separately. However, if I were a Sprint Hero user, I can guarantee I wouldn't be the first to try it!
I'm still expecting the Sprint Hero to ship with Donut onboard, which means it will be the latest and greatest, so what will be more interesting is how the Sprint Hero ROM works on the GSM Hero!
Regards,
Dave
I forgot to mention this in my previous post but in the Videos I have seen online some of the Hero's back cover say Google and some do not, I know in all of the current videos that it does have the Sense UI but is there a difference between the Google Branded and non-Branded Hero?

I think Google decided since they were using the Sense UI (and perhaps adding their own apps over Googles) they couldn't put the "with Google" logo on the back.

It does NOT come loaded with Donut. It doesn't even have the new HTC update. At least, mine doesn't.
Yours is a pre-release version though. It still has 10 days before release and donut has been released in an OTA update.
On another note, has anyone with a Sprint Hero had any problems with the album being slow (not creating thumbnails) after swapping out the microsd?

Donut is being released via an OTA update for the G1 and the MyTouch. There's nothing so far about any other Android phones getting an OTA update. Of course, if you just mean that Donut is in the wild, so the "release" Sprint Hero may have Donut preinstalled, I concur!

Yea that's what I was getting at lol.

I hope so. I haven't had the album issue, but I have experienced an issue with Exchange contacts and their relation to Facebook. So first off, it is very annoying to have to go and re-associate FB contacts with those that are already in my phone. But second, once I do that, my Exchange server cannot sync contacts anymore. It errors out every time. Now, I don't know if that is something on the Exchange end, or on the phone end.
On a completely separate note, my phone didn't come with Pandora pre-installed, although I believe the release versions will. What's interesting is that when I do a search for it in the Android market, it can't find anything, even though it's available. I even tested it on a myTouch, and it came up right away. Interesting....

sprint hero does have a firmware update option in the "about phone". is htc update different?
Does anyone know if the sprint htc hero plays youtube in high quality over EVDO..? or will we need a root to puch the file to trick it into being WIFI?
Also, I notice dthat the sprint hero white flip clock does not flip like the GSM version. That kinda sucks! Taking the 3d out of tf3d..

The Flip clock was removed for everyone with the Firmware update, it sucks, but the clock before was laggy and awful, so it really is an improvement.
Just got my Sprint Hero
I can confirm that the Sprint HTC Hero does come with the 1.5 firmware and doing the update via system updates says that I have the newest firmware, so it may be a matter of HTC sending the update through sprint first to do OTA updates...
Does anyone know if there is a way to root the phone as of right now? I've been looking around a bunch but it just looks like the Euro versions are the ones people have successfully rooted. I just wanna root my phone before I put too much stuff on it and have to start over again anyway. Thanks!!
Anyone notice that the sprint htc hero gets hot as hell under normal/moderate use? What the hell is up with sprint phones and the overeating ****?! Also, battery is NOT as good as the GSM version but we already knew that was gonna happen! Damn CDMA!
I've been using mine all day and it hasn't gotten hot. And to who asked, it does play YouTube high quality over 3g.

My Sprint Diamond runs much hotter than my Sprint Hero. I've got them side-by-side here right now.
Now... time to start hacking this thing...
Maybe I got a BUM unit then. or maybe a burn in period..? Who the hell knows. All I know is its gets hotter than your average phone would get. Has anyone noticed any type of heat increase over use?

ROM 1.48 - Calendar Bug

I know they fixed the bug where you couldn't go past Nov-9 (ish can't remember exactly what date) in the new ROM, however does anyone have any problems with the new ROM and going past 4Jan-10Jan in weekly view mode?
I would be quite suprised if this was widespread again and not just something in my calendar causing it to play up.

First a noob fail and then a NOOB LIE!!! LOL
Yeah, it does the same for me. HTC strikes again!
I'm glad I don't use week view
Edit:
Does the same at the end of February and October too!
Basically, if the 1st day of the next week is the 1st of the month, it doesn't go up a month. That's shoddy programming HTC. Come on!!!
Edit:
Yeah - same for July next year. I ain't going any further unless I get paid.

HTC Peep causing HD2 to Lag

Hi,
I don't know if you've noticed this, but HTC Peep always makes the HD2 lag a lot when refreshing tweets after a long interval.
The problem seems to be that even though its set to fetch last 50 Tweets, the application simply fetches all tweets. Eg. I'd last refreshed Tweets yesterday night at 9, and then again today morning at 9. The Application just fetched all Tweets during those 12 hrs, these tweets were probably in the count of above 200.
Because of this, the HD2 either fails to respond or lags heavily.
Any fix to this issue?
I don't know. But I recommend to use moTweets, it's a lot better than the HTC Peep.
I get this all the time too!
So no real fix to this issue yet? The issue seems pretty simple that Peep simply ignore the Fetch last xx tweets setting. Any way we can override this and input manual value via registry or something?
I too have this problem and have come to the same conclusion. I've sent HTC a bug report via support email. If I hear anything back I'll be sure to update.
I wouldn't get my hopes up though. HTC has quite a few major bugs to fix before this one (SMS,volume overlay, pinch-to-zoom etc, call sound quality..).
HTC is really sucks for this HD2 model... so many issues and yet none get really solved for good. Should have gotten an IPhone instead....

Its official the update for Tmobile UI sense is coming

I just got contacted by HTC representative who asked me to verify my serial number and he mentioned that they finally realized that there is a problem with sms freezing and UI sense and are working hard to fix it. He doesn't know when this update will be available. I did tell him that new iphone is coming out soon they better fix it now or else
Keep calling htc and tmo to expedite this
Sure!!! We have nothing better to do than call HTC. I mean there really is no other way around this problem...
Wait, there's this site called "XDA Developers". They are kinda new so they might not be on the internet yet. They make these custom ROM thingings that fix a lot of HTC Sense problems.
But let some folks on here tell it there wasnt a problem.. it was just "user error."
But custom ROM doesn't fix the sms problems.
But it's more of an annoyance than a problem to begin with. I just delete my texts every 60-80 messages right after syncing with MyPhone.
Pretty Good

You have a pretty good answer for that guy! All most people need to do is put a little research into their phone. Its not that hard to scope out this website and find all kinds of guidance and wisdom. Especially from the senior members.

Mr stock broker with no free time, we'll have to wait just a bit more, since none of the new ROM's have completely fixed this problem and from what i can tell its there.
I hope i didn't waist your time but if i did i will send you a check, what is is going rate on wall street these days?

Will this update be on HTC's website or T-mobile's? I find that both websites are very difficult to find anything on.
At the same time that I wish they would rush an update out, I hope they take their time and properly fix some of the most prevalent problems with the UI. SMS in general and emails not deleting properly from the HTC UI top my list. Most everything else I have found a fix for.

Bravo my friend. Bravo. I don't understand the ease at which people give up on their right as a customer to be at least satisfied - not even overwhelmed - with the product that they buy. I spent too much money to have to scavenger hunt a fix that is officially not even available yet. Yes, I love XDA, but I should not have to come here for THE BASICS. Sms problems and music glitches that are proprietary?!?!? C'mon. You should come here for advanced tweaks not this BS.
I just called HTC and complained. They said that they are well aware of the problems. There will be a fix, but T-mo has to approve it. It is "supposed" to address: music lag, sms lag and additional sms problems. I was told to monitor this site for the fix: http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/
They do not know when it is coming, but they are getting "bombarded" I was told. As the original poster said: Keep calling.

Maybe HTC should change there catch phrase from "A Phone that gets YOU" to "Got a problem? Flash your ROM".

I for one am glad to see that HTC and T-Mobile haven't abandoned their new clients. If the iPhone has taught us anything, it's that customers are much more likely to sue a company if that company admits to a few small errors. Today it's hard to find a company that will update new equipment without solid reason.
But I am very glad to be a member of these forums, where I don't have to wait for the corporate red-tape to be cut and discarded to get my phone fixed

As much as I laughed at this, if it was perfect to begin with then we might be pretty bored here at XDA
I just an email from HTC and they told me to watch T-mobile WMupgrade site..Lets see what will happened.
a sad pattern forming
I just read on pocketnow.com the the euro hd2 is JUST NOW getting an update to stop the music play lag time and skipping. This phone has been out since november overseas. Most of the hot fixes that I have seen on the original hd2 site are the EXACT problems we are now experiencing with the US version.
It is unacceptable to me to have this blatant negligence. We are breaking our necks trying to tweak and hone this phne to the best of its capabilities, but we are doomed to fail because it was shipped - intentionally - flawed. Not even with new flaws but KNOWN pre-existing flaws. I don't find this to be cool in the least.
You would think that given so much time in between the euro and US version introductions that there would honestly be chages made so that the next customers truly get a better experience. It appears that HTC just randomly slapped the 2.0 verion on the software and gave it their blessing. This will be my last phone by this company.

Overseas, they are just getting a music hot fix 5 months after the introduction of the phone. I am sure there were more than 10 people that complained about the problem. That we here in the states don't have an update up on the site already is ridiculous since htc AND t-moblie knew the sofware was going to react with glitches from the start. We are mirrioring te errors that the first HD2 had. Lets see how long they make us wait.
ya, i agree with some of the other posts on this thread. why should we pay top dollar for the "lastest and greatest" only to search other means for solutions to known problems. i've flashed my rom, but it's still not 100% there, the messaging lags and my data connection goes back and forth all day and i could be sitting in the same spot.
there is no reason i should have to do a bunch of technical crap to this phone to get it to simply function correctly when its supposed to be the best offering by tmobile to date. i mean, i didn't by a barebones computer system here.
i purchased one for my fiance, and she throws fits about it on a daily basis. "i want my iphone back." i cant say the iphone is a better phone, but at least it does what it says it does, usually without problems. i on the otherhand have tweaked mine and far more tech savy, so i understood what i'm getting myself into. but that's not the point, this phone shouldnt be the way it is, and these problems being treated the way they are.

Strange.....issue..!?

See the attachement. Last couple days, whenever I receive message, some messages comes with some kind of Korean or Chinese language instead...this is quite annoying hell out of me...

I've been having the same thing. It's really f****** annoying. From my experience the incoming messages are from iPhones only and I believe from at&t carrier. Seems to be longer messages. I signed up for project fi and that will be active as of Monday so well see if it's carrier related then. I've had the issue on pure Nexus, 7.0 stock, and 7.1.1 stock.
Forums online don't yield a definitive solution.

well, my issue started after 7.0 upgrade, before that it was not happening. Most of my friends are on iPhone, I do get messages fine with most of friends's iPhone, then 2 of my friends whenever they sent me text messages, some of their messages like that, some messages are not, so it seems like a random situation. Maybe you are right this could be only from iPhone, or somehow related to AT&T, I don't know about like you said, it is f......king annoying!.
I did not Google it (I am sure you did too), so far could not find any good info nor any fix. I even switch to non-google Messenger, issue still there
let me know if any changes after you move to Project Fi...

Only problem is I am not logged in to iMessage anywhere and went as far as going on Apple's site to "deactivate" iMessage to which it said I wasn't active.
I had read somewhere it's happening only with at&t. So well see tomorrow when I switch if it continues.
For what it's worth I just received the same type of message from an AT&T iPhone user. I am also on AT&T
sent from my pixelated Nexus 6p
For those interested, I have since made the switch to project fi and the issue has not happened again. Same phone and setup on the phone.
