Hi,
I hope someone can help me as this has been bugging me for a while now.
Basically when I was on stock 2.1 Eclair when I clicked on the contact photo I had a Google Talk icon there so I was able to start the chat with the person without going to GTalk app itself. Straight after OTA upgrade to 2.2 Froyo the icon disappeared.
Didn't come back even after flashing with the custom rom (LeeDroid)
I have HTC Desire GSM running LeeDroid 2.3c but I think it's not related to the handset itself as I saw few more posts relating the same problem but different phones.
Has anyone got any idea how to bring the icon back?
Please copy and paste the screenshot link below as I can't post external links yet

p.s the screenshot is photoshopped but that's pretty much what it used to look like when it was working.

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks
Scott

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work
- Yes
Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

I pulled the Browser.apk from my stock hero with Sense UI. I then pushed it to /syste/app/Browser.apk while running cm6. everything went great until I tried to install. Get 'did not install' message. Is there a way to make this work? any help would be greatly appreciated
Anyone?? Anything??
thanks for the help!! this is a great community!!!
I don't know if it's even posible A while back I tried (and failed) to push the Htc music apk to my g1 running cyanogen mod; turns out, it just was not possible as it was. Someone later cracked the app and posted it here on XDA. Also maybe you should post why you want the htc browser on your phone as maybe someone can suggest an alternative.
We'll if you read it says hero.. and I'm running cm6.. It's all there.. I want the sense browser because I like it and it has flash that works, unlike many I've tried. Plus it has an option to load pages as full html Instead of mobile.
Why don't you use Skyfire? It can run flash and has the option of HTML (desktop) vs mobile and you can install it off the market for free. Let me know if I am missing something.
Hey guys,
i and probably other seem to have this problem...
i flashed a new rom and everything else is working fine.. i synced my google contacts with my facebook contacts and they all have a nice picture in the contacts categorie as it should be.. also if i receive a sms or somebody calls me it shows the picture
but when i go into wahtsapp it shows only the green android symbol..
a few wich have a picture directly in my google account are shown, but not the majortiy with the fb pics
anybody an idea how i could manage for it to show the fb pics also
waht i find funny is, that a before i flashed to sense 3.5 it all worked like it is supossed to
best regards,
Hey, it may be so that with flashing the new rom your facebook contacts(and their respective pictures) are suddenly not accessible by third party apps. You can try the Photo Unlocker app made by ChainsDD. The app is legit and just requires a rooted phone.
Good luck and let me know if you find a fix as i had the same issue. Happily enjoying MIUI now tough
Kind Regards.
seems like a solid idea.. you mind sharing a download link?.. seems thats its not on the market anymore =(
Well that's strange, i guess it was actual doing its job then. Unable to find any legal free versions after a quick browse, can't help you anymore then unfortunately.
Anybody perhaps with an different idea?
Did you not get my private message?
ups.. didnt saw it.. but it worked great big thx to you
funny part.. i asked chainsDD yesterday on twitter why he took it down from the market and he responded:
"because it's broken... and I haven't had the time to fix it... :-(" .. seems that he was wrong
I ran JellyWiz for a few days but there were a few things I needed that I couldn't get ( I Know due to the T Mobile Base.) I need the Verizon usage widget to work along with I was missing NFL Mobile... I know I read in the right thread (I have to post here since I have never posted on this site but am rather experienced with Android..) that you can possible change the build. prop to get the verizon apps available in the Play Store.... But my reason for all of this is I REALLY want to keyboard he used in this ROM.... (Stock Hybrid not custom.) I have searched the net high and low looking for what version it is... I tried to extract it from the ROM and installed it but it kept crashing... I am assuming because the build.prop was for 4.0.3 and I am wanting to run it with 4.0.4 Can someone point me in the direction of where to locate a working .APK for 4.0.4 or get me going in the right direction.... Like I said I can pull it from the ROM but am not sure what all I need to change in my ROM to make it work.... Thank YOU for any help..... I am going to go browse through this section and start answering some questions here so I can build my rep up and be able to inquire in a more appropriate location... Thanks Guys and Gals have a gooden!!
Please ignore this... After further flashing I now see that it is all just the stock Samsung keyboard... It had been so long since I set up any emails on my rom that I noticed the "@" and ".com" buttons on JellyWiz and really wanted them on mine... I have them more or less already... The layout is a little different but when typing in an email address field it brings them up automatically..... I do feel very schmucky for this........
I have a Tmobile MyTouch 4G Slide rooted with Bulletproof Blue 61X. I will admit I am rather ignorant to this "rooted" smartphone stuff, but I do have a few issues:
1. Mainly, GOOGLE SEARCH DOES NOT WORK ON THIS PHONE!! I even downloaded the google search widget and that doesn't work either!! I type in what I'm searching, tap the screen or hit enter, NOTHING HAPPENS. The Tmobile quick lookup icon doesn't work, when I hit enter, I get the "The application Quick Lookup has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" window. I cannot connect to the internet at all, yet my facebook app works.
I just bought this phone from someone and I'm ready to track them down and get my money back!!
2. I cannot set up any other email on my phone other than Gmail. Once again the set up icon doesn't work either. I hit the "other email account" button, absolutely nothing happens!
3. I also have issues with certain widgets that were functional on my previous my touch
I contacted T-Mobile and was told that software version 1.28.531.9 is the problem. How do I change this when the phone won't connect to the web to receive the update?
PLEASE HELP...I am utterly frustrated.
First off don't talk to tmobile about a rooted phone, they're cluless. Without bothering to trouble shoot everything the quick fix is to just wipe fully and flash a new rom

Thank you, so basically I can restore the phone to its original version? The Tmobile rep actually called HTC for me, the HTC rep was the one who informed us that the software version 1.28.531.9 was problematic.
Well htc won't be any help either as they will only give help and support to offical software. Which on the doubleshot is not the best. Stick with a custom rom if you want real close to stock yet better there are a few to choose from, you'll find all the info in the developers section on what roms are avalible as well as instructions on how to flash if you're unfimiliar
