[Q] HTCSense.com on HD2 - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hi all
wondering if anyone here is using the htcsense.com website for either the ported deisre hd or desire z?
I've signed up and seems to work ok generally except it won't pick up my location? it says i'm in the middle of the ocean near south africa except i'm pretty sure i'm not there! ;-)
running mdeejay desire z 1.3 (need to update my sig - sorry)
Cheers

I was using htcsense.com and it worked great, but in the meantime a camera is more important and so i switched back to normal desire rom

GeneralWest2010, did you manage to get the location working? i still can't get it to pick up the phones location? am i doing something wrong? is there something that i need to do?

It worked on my mdeejay desire z v1.0, but have some problems with it on mdeejay desire z 1.3.
Did you enable the phone finder option in Settings -> Location ?

I cant even seem to log on! I signed up on my phone but it says it cant log in =/
Anyway, my brother has the Desire HD and I can tell you that the sense site is still pretty buggy, the location doesnt work all the time on his phone, nor does some of the other features!

I got htcsense.com working, and it even shows my location.
It's allso able to ring my phone, allmost emidately when i press the button, and the
other functions work fine, but the problem is i only got 1 page(check attachment)
I got:
- The dashboard
I'm missing:
- Footprint
- messages
- people
- htc hub
is this normal for htcsense on the hd2 or anyone else having the problem?

same here too

location is not working for me too on mdj 4.1 hd build. ringing phone works (most time)! has anyone a workaround for this?

Hi Guys
what I ended up doing was having to restart with a clean build and login again with the email account that i wanted to use as default ( i have more than one ) then it re-synced and everything is working now including location finder. although when i changed builds it has duplicated all my contacts.
seems like they have a ways to go to make the system more solid.
cheers

nither location detection nor (ring phone ) works , iam using desire hd 4.3 mdeejay :S

HTC Problem
Hi all,
I just wanted to let you know that many people (myself included) are experiencing the very same issues with original, unmodified Desire HD's. I called HTC about this only a couple of days ago and they openly admitted that there were problems. In fact, to quote them word for word:
"you can't register a new account because it's not working properly. If you give me your email address we can let you know when the problems are fixed".
The person I spoke to claimed to have no idea what the problem was or when it might be fixed, but he had no hesitation about admitting that there were problems at their end.
Regards,
Craig.

Hello there, one question why are you asking about phones apart from the HD2? Your question was:
[Q] HTCSense.com on HD2
So do you not think this would have been in a better section? On the threads relating to the two phones in question.

Sorry I'm not sure what you are trying to say? I am only talking about 1 phone - the HTC HD2 / Leo.

oh I forgot to mention that it seemed to work better for me when i use the international code for my country. ie in australia i set my phone number up as +61xxxxxxxxx.
Not sure if it makes any difference but i tried both and this way seemed to work ;-)

hello.i have hd2 with mdj revolution HD and i have signed up for htcsense.com in greece.My problem is that nothing is working on htcsense.com.what can i do????

bad dialer

I'm wondering why my dialer digits respond as bad as the ones on older htc phones.
htc diamond's dialer responds almost as quick as the iphone's one so im asking if this is just in my case or if it is like that with the htc touch hd in general.
come on there have to be other people here that already used their htc touch hd's dialer and can tell me if they got the same problem ?

I just recived my touch hd today and my dialer seems to be responding fine, I would say almost comparable to iphone.
hmm mine is far away from being comparable to the iphone... are there any videos of the blackstone dialer in action?

Maybe you should post more information than saying "It rains here, why?"
So if we would know how many contacts you have in Outlook, how many on SIM card, and what applications you have installed, one could possibly be more helpful.
sorry, im using the phone straight out the box (german version, no other software installed), deleted all sim & outlook contacts but still the dialer is far away from responding quick.

I have like 400 outlook contacts with my german version, and the dialer is working almost instantly.
Maybe something is wrong with your SIM Card, how old is the SIM Card, which version?
Try to use the dialer without SIM Card.
just tried it without sim card - same problem.
actually i would say it is a small delay when i push a digit, but if you need to dial a number fast its really annoying.
the dialer is far away from responding as quick as the diamond / iphone's one.
I just tried to dial a 12 digit number, and it would take me 1,5 seconds (i cannot type faster), and no error or digit left out.
I guess something is wrong with your phone.

Could you make a video and upload it somewhere so we can better understand the problem?
Same problem with slow responding in Phone application
I received my Touch HD last week and have the german language version too.
I have also problems with slow responding of the phone application of my touch HD. When I dial digits often the phone does not show the digits immediately after typing. That very bad because you can not be sure that the phone recognised the pressing of the digit you want or not.
Often when I want to pick up a call the phone application is so slow that Im not able to use the softtouch buttons on the screen because great lag.
I have not found yet a solution for this.
I have already tried soft and hard reset, even disabled all running programs befor calling but nothing helped.
I hope someone can help me.
Tolotos13
yeah i've decided im going to return my hd, it just still has too many bugs.
i dont know if it's just the german firmware...but i will get one again as soon as theres a new firmware and they maybe fixed some bugs in the hardware.

What firmware version do you have? I have 1.14, and not found bugs that are showstoppers for me.
try this,
go in the phone application, then go to menu/options and disable the keypad sounds.
this sould make keys more responsive.
try to post as much information as possible
ROM version?
Radio stack version?
etc
etc
some information may have nothing to do with this SEEMINGLY, but you never know. and the more info we have from you the more we can help, and the more variables we can eliminate.
awaiting your video upload as well

Quick questions

Hey guys, got a couple of questions quick so any help would be great =)
I know you can set people's contact card pics as their facebook profile pic, i've done this for everyone successfully, just wondering if there is any way to make it auto-update (i have unlim data plan), or a way to update everyone on one click, the only way i can update them now is to go to each individual, open their online albumn, then edit the contact card, and let the new pic download, surely there's a faster way?
Also when i'm viewing a conversation between me and another person (in text messages in HTC Sense), it takes forever to load, and i can't type a message till all of them have loaded, and there's a 160+ for each person so they all load pretty slowly, surely there's a work around so i can type whilst it loads?
Thanks in advance =)
Edit: oh there was another thing, if i browse someones facebook photos, can i set any photo as the contact card picture rather than just the profile picture?
Thanks again
Bump, anyone help please? :/

you will be able to download updates, but youwon't be able to download roms from the htc website, it will give you an error when you input your serial.
read through the forum, there are numerous threads about updating rom when you are provider locked.

Ah, so if it is vendor unlocked then yes, you should be able to use the htc website. 1.66 i think is the latest.

This forum or HTC's forum?
this forum. (in brief - install hspl will let you install any rom, go hunt and do some reading, then when you understand what you are doing, go for it. )
Ah right thanks a bunch, just one last thing
When I'm downloading updates from HTC's website, it says select location closest to you, should I select europe 1 or 2 (I'm in london)
Doesnt matter, thats just which server sends you the file.
Ah right thought it was to do with bands heh
Thanks a bunch
Sorry for double post, thought i'd ask here rather than make a new thread
Is it possible to enable more than 3 alarms? Any way to edit the reg or something?
Bump,
Also my HD2 keeps freezing now, it just slows right down for no reason, sometimes when it'd idle over night, after i've finished from a call, and sometimes out of the random, i keep having to soft-reset but now it's getting ridiculous
The only apps i've installed are:
MS Office
MS Win Live 10.6
TorchButton
Touch X Taskmngr
MS My Phone
Skype
.NET 3.5
markuz Saber
TomTom (also done bluetooth fix)
Bing
FpseCE
Youtube
G-Shotgun
ProdSon Diamond Hologram
MS Classic Blue
MS Rock and Republic black
MS DVF Green
KS Ron Arad orange
Hotfix LEO 7477
Gotfix LEO07268_625
Hotfix LEO07664
Facebook (1.1.0.14)
XaMaB Bubblewrap
Daniel Herrero Bandswitch
MS Marketplace
ANY help will be greatly appreciated

Only more than three alarms with 3rd party alarm software (cant recommend, i dont use more than three, sorry)
As for slowdown, first off disable the flip clock when you return to home page, (search for disable manila flip) secondly if wifi is on that can make it sluggish when you wake it from sleep as it reconnects.
Hey peeps, gna post here rather than create a new thread.
I'm thinking about installing a cooked rom, i'm pretty sick of this ****ty t-mobile rom.....phone freezes up constantly, slows down etc.
Will flashing a cooked rom complete wipe everything off the phone, texts, contacts, photos, music, apps etc etc?

Can you make a phone call? If you can, but do not have an internet connection for email, etc., you will have to manually input your APN settings. I got mine from the Froyostone thread. Probably listed several other places as well.
I have phone capabilities and I everything else seems to work fine however, just no data.

[Q] hd2 android SMS / contact number problem

Hello all,
I recently bought an HD2 again (after a rubbish galaxy S) and this time I installed android. (DFT stock desire rom)
everything works great, except for the following.
When I enter e number in contact in format 0475123456 or +32475123456 (belgian formats) and I call the number there is no problem.
but when I enter the SMS menu, and I press the call button he displays the number 32475123456, so not starting with 0 and not with +32 as it should be.
Now sometimes these SMS messages do not arrive at its destination. And when I call from out the SMS menu, I end up at a different location then the number I wanted to reach. Very strange, but mostly it is a fixed line number, and not a mobile number...
I think the 32475123456 number can be the problem that sometimes SMS messages do not arrive...
Can somebody think of anything this can be?
thanks for your answer!
grtz
I have the same problem. Pity that no one can help. If you managed to solve it, please let us know how
You can try 0032 instead of +32 for all your contacts ..
it doesn't help, I use operator 'Orange' in Poland, still can't sent SMS otherwise than by entering the number manually
Will the problem be solved when I flash another android rom maybe?

Yes it will... There is also a script that can solve I though(search something like "xda android dialer fix script" on google), but you might want to try a different rom as the battery drainage of this rom is pretty bad(smoothness is still unbeated though).
Hint go for gingerbread...
thanks man, now at least I know there s a fix, when I install another rom. I was already thinking of going to gingerbread. I like the nexus HD2 one, is that a good one?

For what I´ve read the Nexus rom should be good, I use the hyperdroid rom (v11) and it works very good(after adjusting the DPI)

What you want is GirlfriendSpyStalkEX. You will be able to see her location, speed and what perfume she is wearing. You can even call on CIA satellite imagery to actually see what she's up to. All without her knowing. I mean, she is on the same OS as you, how dare she believe in privacy.
I also recommend calling Police. You can put an end to this now by handing yourself in.
