[Q] My brand new Desire Z is acting wierd - G2 and Desire Z General

Hey there XDA
I have now been trying to get my brand new Desire Z to work proberly the whole afternoon but some problems remains which is why i now come to you for help. I've listed them in a list below.. Hope you can help me out here
My HTCSense.com account seems to be missing a lot of functionality.. Phonefinder didnt work, so i had to recover/reinstall something called "Locations" before it got to work. I had allready enabled this "Phonefinder" but HTCSense.com told me that it was disabled. However i still seem to be missing a lot of stuff at my htcsense.com account. See this screenshot:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It is like there should be some menu at the top or at the side which iam not getting. I have tried both Internet Explorer and Firefox, which gives the same results.
When i turned the phone on for the first time it showed me some suggestions to friends that i could add from HTCsense.com. When i wanted to select them they dissapeared and didnt show up again. How can i see this list again?
They have however later showed up and i managed to send a request to one of the suggestions but when i try to the other one (it gives me two suggestions) it says that it was not possible to request at the moment.
Everytime i turn on the phone or reboot it, i get a Nortification that my "SIM card has been changed", which is not the case..
Allmost everytime i try to access HTC likes and HTC Hub i get a message that it couldnt connect to the HTC Sense server.
Sometimes when i write speciel characters like ÆØÅ it writes them in uppercase no matter what i do.
I hope that you can help a newbie with some of these problems.. Its been a long time since i've used an Android phone
Thanks in advance!

Regarding HTC sense we have the same experience with errors and functionality. About the sim problem maybe you could try doing a full wipe/reset?

"\Windows\PicselBrowser.exe"

hi i wanted to try out picsel browser for my trinity.. so recently I installed
Picsel Browser for Pocket PC but because it didn't work i removed it afterwards.
But the program left something in the machine that I can not think a way to remove it.
Every time I turn on my screen i get a "pop-up" wich says: "Can not find
\Windows\PicselBrowser.exe".
I searched all registry can not find the key to launch program at every time power on.
i hope some one can help me...
thx
Try to check the notification queue for an event that will try to run \windows\picselbrowser.exe, and if there is such an event then delete it.
The event should be NOTIFICATION_EVENT_WAKEUP
Edit: you will of course need a program that can show the notification queue and delete the event if relevant.
If you don't have such a program already, then have a look at dotfreds taskmgr: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280104
ok thx i'll go try it
What didn't work with the browser. I'm using it and it runs great.
it just didn't start... it gave an error i believe...
so that was the reason i deleted the program again.
Did the app just shutdown or did you actually get an error message? If the app just shutdown then its probably due to not having a data connection. The app does not open the connection so before using picsel I open up IE and once connected I close IE.
Can you tell me where you got the picselbrowser software?
LOL, same please.
If you tell, tell privately. We're not allowed to distribute this app.

Is it running fine on your trinities guys?? It takes so much time to load the first time, something like 30 seconds..
Did anybody find a solution for this??
well i couldn't get it away... so i gave it a hard reset... that did work.. so..
and about were i got the software.... i dont know exactly anymore... i just googled...
Hi,
I have the same problem with the /Windows/PicselBrowser.exe popup and I try to get it away ...
Do you know, wether the Free Task Manager will work also with the WM 6.1 ???
So the question, if it works with WM 6.1 ... YES IT DOES !!!
BUT I could not delete the event in the notification as you said, then I changed the moment it should pop up into "when a IR network was dected" or something like this - as I am sure I never will have a IR-Network working
Butu it is not the solution that makes me happy ...
may be I did something wrong ...
by the way, Picsel works quite fine with my Touch Cruise and WM 6.1 the only problem the nasty popup
bye

very cool.
thanks
very nice! I've been looking for this for a while. I'd rather have an independent icon on my taskbar than one replacing the start icon, so this is a great replacement for ArielBattery. Thanks!
Great idea, unfortunately does not work on my HTC Elfin.
Can someone host this somewhere other than ziddu? I can't connect from work (not sure if the site is down or blocked).

Thank you, good sir
awesome! love it.
It doesn't show the number in my P535. The icon is actually changed.
Not working on Samsung i760. Tried both cabs, the numbattery didn't do anything, the QVGA one changed the icon to a solid white one, but no numbers at all. Is there a configuration file to change or something?
Also, it wiped out my background picture of my today screen. Had to set it back up...
does not seem to work on my verizon touch pro
Did not work on my Treo 750 with WM6.0
after installing cab and restarting, I had a second battery icon (that looked like your original from the picture above, vertical lines), but no numbers.
Thanks anyway...
lol... working on polaris... thankfully
Does not work on Samsung Epix (i907).
Why does the thread opener has been banned?
If i´m right, i think he had "stolen" the battery-icon-gauge from another forum-member, and posted it her as his creation.

Great it worked in my TyTn II. Thanks for your effort bro. I am loving it.

lockscreen controls?

Hey guys
anyone who can tell me how to change the controls of the htc lockscreen so that the "menu" button doesn't unlock the tattoo? Is it possible at all?
thx in advance for your answers
Pottkopp
there is not a official option for that maby a hack but i never seen it
I'm interested in this too. I keep unlocking the phone when it's in my pocket then call random people and whatnot.
There is one app called Lockbot Pro.. try it.
tried it and I think that this app is very big but thats not the problem the problem is that it's also very slowly loading the clock.. rly no other way than using other apps? I like the htc lockscreen except of that enerving "menu" unlocking..
I can try to port the hack for nexus, but I'm not sure that I can get it to work... anyone would be interested?
I am! you'd be my hero if you get it to work! what's the lockscreen on the nexus looking like? or you only port the hack?
i'll try and port the hero mod aswell
where you get the code for this? maybe I can try something, too
Last evening I managed to reboot my phone into recovery mode and erase it. All in the pocket of my jacket!
That button is evil...
wow thats very bad.. till now I had luck with it so that I lost no data or money because it started apps that require wifi because i disabled mobile data connections but I hate taking it out of my pocket and seeing the display enabled and that the battery is low.. and I think I'm speaking (or writing ) out the thoughts of every user in this moment when I say someone MUST change this
Two pages in this thread and no solution yet, but the simplest solution is just to buy a proper hard case, like this:

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I have one of those (similar but cheaper) and never had any problem with unlock.
I have H24 my tattoo in my pocket without nothing, and it doesn't wake up alone...
What can I say? I live a more active life..
..any news? pls post your progress
I looked at a few lock screen replacement apps but they all sucked.
They're either unstable or slow... or both.
I also looked at the API but I can't code. The menu key is KEY_SOFT1 or code 229. I'm guessing this needs to be disabled in the HtcLockScreen.apk app? There's no source code for it anyway
that's where baksmali comes into the picture ;D
What about the Google lockscreen? Isn't there a source code for that one? Or for the lockscreens of those custom roms..
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general
no news about that problem???

[Q] Editing the "Me" contact card...

Whenever I look at a text message conversation it puts "Me" as blank picture: (see first picture).
But whenever I try to edit "Me" from the "People" application, the device just hangs and won't let me edit anything. Does this happen to anyone else or does anyone know where to fix it? Thanks!

From what I remember reading a while back, you will need to make sure that your sim card has your number set in to it... From what I remember reading, you can do this using an iphone or a blackberry... The cyanogenmod rom used to do this from what I recall... But can't say 100%...
Unless someone can correct me, as I only used android for a few weeks
I'd like to piggyback off this question and ask if theres a way to make one of our contacts "Me" or just overwrite it.

On Windows Mobile there was an option to copy any contact into the "Me" contact but I can't find that option, should there be one on Android!
The "Me" thing is an HTC thing, not an ANDROID thing. In Vanilla Android there is nothing like this in the People area, you just have a contact card of yourself. I can edit my "Me" information fine. If you go on Google.com and edit your contacts with your name, it seems to change it as you login to facebook and stuff and it auto associates you with yourself, ie my Facebook is Josh ______, my twitter is GlitchZero, it auto links these things to "Me" or "Josh ______" in my Google contacts.
Ah thank you for that information. I did a hard reset & made sure "Me" was not associated with any Facebook or Google account & it works perfectly, thanks!

Long tap on it and select "App info", then tap "Turn Off" button to disable it.
I also turned off "Samsung Link" app on my Note 3.
Tried clear cache, so far so good
Edit: Clear cache did not work, had to freez the app using Titanium
hm
Ok so looks like the best idea is to disable the app so will do that.
Is there any reason why i might not want to do that though what dose the app actually do and it really should just work the first place should it not? ??
