[Q] My brand new Desire Z is acting wierd

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_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"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?

My friend who has got the sgs2 in india, on stock rom is also having this problem...any idea?

Might be your network changing SMS to MMS if you go over the character limit. Call them and ask. In my experience MMS are crap and sometimes do take ages to send.
Did you change any of the message settings? You could try a reset...

check the length of that message, it must be more than 3 messages in one..

Sorry I was busy in ramdan lol
How can I mange the length of messages ?
And y its changes my sms to mms?

You need to keep it under a set limit

if your message works out to be more than three standard sms messages in length then it automatically gets converted to an mms message. I think that the app handcent for messaging allows you to get round this. I kow it is unfair as most phone packages have free sms but you pay for mms.

THANKS ALL OF YOU
I think its network problems

sorry bro I did NOT make this app, and i am sorry to hear that. It always worked for me on sg 2 i am waiting on s3 to be here tomorrow.

ATT GS3 here ,this app doesnt work , there is no option for GSM , all options are some form of LTE.

The Phone Info app is available in the Play Store.
You must first turn off Radio using the button below the Network options. Then you can select a different Radio Network. Hope this helps.

[SOLUTION-FIX] Wifi is connected, but no internet connection!

Hi!
I saw that a lot of people have trouble with secured wifi/router! Wifi is connected,full signal,but when u go on internet,internet connection is very slow,or it says "that there's no internet connection" . I found one easy solution:
1. Go to router page (mine is: 192.168.2.1)
2. Enter Username / Password (Default: user/user or. admin/1234 ...)
3. Go to wireless security settings and tick WPA(TKIP) or WPA2(AES+TKIP) --> MIXED option in my router settings .
4. Ok
5. Router will restart.
6. Forgot old wifi network and connect to new one.
7. Enjoy!
My wifi is now faster too!

I have tested it,for works like a charm. It loads google home page and google store in 1-2 seconds,before I change settings it loads in 10 seconds or It didn't load!
I found solution,because on new iPhone 5 was same problem with wifi like on our x8:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh7RbtqLMzM&feature=player_embedded

I can confirm, this works

Oh bro, what an idea. I never thought it could be solved like that...even mine's google loads in about 10 seconds... and i thought browsing on the X8 would be always the last option...
Thanks for the useful post :good:
I'll try it ASAP

Really? Does it work?

Yes

Well i have a 50% similar problem.. On stock my X8 don't even show my router name(Time_Machine) in WiFi settings.
But on GB it shows the network and works perfectly.
I repaired it with Update service.
Any idea where the problem is ?

No difference on ics , maybe cause it's accelerated the hardware
Tnx anyways

Sorry for answering on such old post. Used this solution with my Xperia Z3 (D6603). It connected, but had no internet (also reported it). Set it to mixed, and it works now! Wow, who could have thought such an solution would work...

[Q] MMS problem on tmobile?

Anyone have problems receiving pictures? I'm having a weird problem. I'm using stock messaging app.. Looks like I can send pictures, but have trouble receiving them. In fact, a few times I didn't receive an MMS until I actually sent an MMS back. So I would send a picture and then immediately receive one once I sent mine. Except the one I just received was sent a day earlier. Another time I didn't get one until a few days later. I replied and my friend didn't know what the hell I was talking about.
Only started having this problem on my nexus 4. Everything seemed fine when I was on my old gnex a couple weeks ago. So is it a phone, tmobile or software problem? Anyone have similar issues?

search around here for the proper apn settings. that will fix you up.

Well wouldn't it already be proper apn settings when I inserted my SIM card?

I am having the EXACT same issue. I tried contacting T-Mobile support about they just "reset" my device on the network. It seems to work better now, but I can usually see when someone tries to send me a message. If it doesn't receive, I just send myself a picture and I'll get whatever was sent to me. However I attributed this mostly to being on 2G at home.
How good of signal are you getting and is it 2/3/4G?

nope. i am on att and just fixed a couple people in a dif thread an hour ago. this is your issue. i just dont have the t-mobile apn settings to help you further.

Do as follows and it might help you:
1. Go Settings - Apps - All.
2. Find SMS app.
3. Force close SMS app.
4. Clear data on SMS app.
5. Go APN settings.
6. Do Settings RESET of APN.
7. Reboot.
It worked for me - though I am in a different operator.
What is also important - MMS comes when you are not on WiFi. Only on Data.
Good luck!

Try these settings for your APN.

The important changes are the APN type and APN protocol. Reboot and try.

What exactly are those changes going to do?

To be honest I really do not know. Once I changed to those settings I no longer had issues with MMS and had better speed. They also seemed to help a lot of other people. YMMV
