I'm with VF, luckily I didn't get the dreaded OTA last week. My phone is totally unbranded, so I'm wondering if it will let me install 2.2 manually without the need for a goldcard and all the messing about. is there an easy way to check ? I don't want to attempt an install for it to screw up and brick the phone.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had an unlocked HTC Desire on Three for a couple of months and it's all up-to-date - running on Froyo and updated again just this morning. Yesterday the phone dropped off Three and roamed onto Orange which isn't right because I get a full signal on Three in my house.
I phoned Three last night and they said there wasn't a problem with the network in my area. The woman I spoke to suggested taking the sim card and battery out, leaving it 5 minutes and then trying it. I did this this morning and it made no difference. I also set the phone into 3G only and manually scanned for networks and it couldn't find any.
I phoned again this morning and was told there is a known bug with the HTC Desire locking onto partner networks. I've been told to get the phone flashed but that sounds like a bit of a fob-off to me, especially when I can't find any reference to this problem on the internet.
My phone is locked after entering the unlock pattern incorrect too many times.It asks me for gmail username/password but this doesnt work, have tried dozens of combinations etc.The only option I think at this stage is to root the phone, but my Bootloader is .92.Can I root the phone using this?It's an unbranded Desire, running Froyo official HTC update.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI got a notification today about the Froyo update being available (yay!) but was in the middle of something so hit cancel, thinking I could get it later. But I can't work out how to!
It did say that the phone would check again at the next scheduled time so I can download it then if need be - but does anyone know how to make the phone check before then?
I have just purchased a telstra branded HTC desire [outright] 2 days ago from JB HIFI, the salesman said its unlocked and i assumed its all good.
I can definately send/recieve calls and sms, BUT i cannot connect to the net for browsing unless im at home in my wifi area... i dont get it.. its like the device is a half locked phone, calls/sms -ok, internet-no only to telstra >>
I have a vodafone [prepaid sim] and i was able to browse and recieve emails and so on with my nokia e63 on prepaid with no issue whatsoever. This is my first android phone and im feeling a little lost/stumped with it and taken advantage of with half truths from the salesman at JB HIFI. Im sure they would know about this, i did make it clear and stress out it is a non telstra sim and that its prepaid.
Whenever I lock the phone it has recently starting turning itself off. It also did this when I answered a call yesterday then took it away from my ear and it was off.
Is there any issues with using the 'power' button to lock the phone and unlock it? It's extremely annoying and I've installed the latest software patch.
I have a sony ericsson X10, it has a security pattern lock on the phone. However this has gone off in my pocket and now the phone is locked. I can not remember the google email address for the phone and now i can not access the phone. Orange customer service has told me to get in touch with google, in order to delete the old account [whatever that may be] but there is no number for google customer service.
View 4 Replies View RelatedIs there anyone out there that has obtained a Desire direct from T-Mobile (UK) proper, rather than buying an unbranded one and sticking a T-Mobile SIM in it? If so, could one of you try popping a non-T-Mob SIM in it and see if the phone comes SIM-locked or not for me please?

View 25 Replies View RelatedI have a Android with Lee Droid Froyo. Also is the standard messaging app along with Handcent SMS app. The first issue is that after I receive messages for a period of time (week or so) messages start coming in as MMS messages instead of SMS from a 5556 number, not the person who sent the SMS. I check the details and it states the incoming message is "SMS Message", however both stock message and handcent app handle and label as a MMS message from user 5556 but the message in the MMS is blank. When the messages arrive they are visible in the locked screen messages widget then disappear after entering the program to view them. I had the "delete old messages" unchecked and had a SMS message limit of 200. I have since checked the "delete old messages" and increased to 300 the SMS message limit but still have the same issue.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm locked out of my phone and I believe it's being caused by the "No lock" app. There was an upgrade available for that app, which I performed today, and a few mins later when I went use my phone I got presented with a keyboard to enter a password to continue. I have never set a password for this anyway. So I'm locked out and cannot access anything.

How can I check if they have rooted the phone or not? Also, how can I check if the installed ROM is stock or not.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI've been looking around for a while trying to see if anyone posted something like this and I have not found anything quite like what is going on with my phone. I got my pattern code wrong enough times so my vibrant is requesting I enter google account information in order to let me in. I have not been able to access the phone this way since it will not accept the google info I am inputting. I know my username and password are correct since I have verified them on my computer to ensure that I am using the correct information.
I have followed the instructions for accessing the recovery mode menu..and have deleted user data and cache twice, and the phone is still prompting me to enter my google username and password. I contacted TMobile support and they were useless. Is there any way for me to bypass this screen? What is the proper way to do a real master reset of my phone that will actually delete the data I have already inputted into the phone?
I am somewhat freaking out because I just bought this phone today, and cannot believe this is happening. I've been searching these forums and online for hours looking for a solution but nothing that I have found has worked. If I could get the phone back to factory settings that would solve the issue, but I can't find a set of proper instructions that actually delete the data since the phone is still prompting me for the google information due to my getting the pattern code wrong.
Is there a way to get rid of the locked screen when I turn on my evo?

After fighting with sprint for 3 hours I came to find out they are unable to give me the info to the gmail account that THEY set up when I got my EVO. Apparently the only thing they can do is reset my phone causing me to loose all of my numbers, photos, ect
I can't open my HTC magic..I locked my phone so you had to "draw" the code everytime you used it..The problem however is, that I've drawn it wrong to many times..I now have to type in my google acc. But I'm unable to do that, cause my magic is offline, to turn it online, I have to open it,. So, that's impossible..
View 1 Replies View RelatedI was trying out the Pattern Lock feature on my HTC Incredible S and got locked out after too many incorrect attempts. I can't use my email address and password to verify my account as my data and wifi are switched off.
To get around this problem, I've transferred to my microSD card the XtraSec apk that will allow me to remotely switch on wifi and data. However, I'm not sure how to trigger the installation of the apk when I can't get past the lock screen .Can I use fastboot to access the file explorer app (ES file explorer) or apk installer app to get the apk to install?
I haven't rooted the phone and it's running the latest version of Android. I'm not sure if I have USB debugging enabled. I'd like to avoid doing a reset if possible coz I haven't backed up the things that aren't on the sd card.
Yesterday I made some modifications to my old HTC Desire HD. I removed the battery and instead soldered a fixed power adapter to the phone (at + and - where the battery usually is). It worked well, I could reboot it, turn it off and on as usual. But then I desided to flash another ROM (an unofficial CM 4.4 port), and now the phone is shutting down as soon as it enters the launcher. It says I need to connect the charger.
I can successfully boot the phone if I start the phone with the charger plugged in (which probobly isn't healthy for the phone but whatever). Then I can unplug the charger with no problem.
So, i've tried deleting the batterystats.bin file, replaced it with an empty file with no r/w permissions at all, but it will still be replaced by the system at reboot.
How can i skip the battery check att boot, or how can i lock it to 100% forever?
