Sadly, it's not included on the T-Mobile Sensation in the US.
Whether we can get it later once root is available remains to be seen.
Tmobile US took it out. Read this thread to see what else they took out

I read some were that htc location is only availible in Europe at the moment but should be arriving in the us sometime around october. I hope this is true I saw the htc sense demo of what locations can do I think its awsome but for now I guess Google maps can do
I have Asian version and it has location.
I signed into the htc hub and installed/enabled it. I just can't seem to find the website that allows me to track it.
edit: Nevermind. Went to htcsense.com logged in, and it's working.
edit2: Awesome, I tried the lock/unlock feature. Very cool. It's nice to have this semi-bundled.
edit3: It's called phone finder, and once installed you turn it on and off under settings>location
How I just looked for it and its not there in the hub
Is there any way to install the European version of the ROM or does that require the phone to be rooted?

I was thinking the OP was referring to the GPS app called Locations that's bundled on Euro Sensations. You seem to be talking about a service to locate your phone. Not the same.
I'm not sure you want it my Voda Uk model has it but means if I want to ba able to use the navigate link in appointments I have to pay for mavigation software or copy and paste into Maps as you CANNOT change the default app used.
HTC have confirmed this to me so you would need to be able to root the phone to change this.
GET YOUR FINGER OUT HTC
really annoyed at them swapping pay material for free material and removing any ability to change it back.
It is genuinely making me think twice about getting a HTC next if this is the direction they are going in.

Did anyone notice the apps Shazam and Where are gone from Market downloads? Those are the best free apps out there and it is completely gone. I feel so lost now.

Just search google for the apk and sideload it...
Edit, Shazam is back not sure whats going on with Where.
Edit2, Where? must not be available on Rogers either. I use Poynt. It's just as useful to me.
WHERE isn't available from an AT&T connection, as they have their own WHERE on their Android phones.
How it's filtered I don't know.
thanks guys. I have t-mobile but Shazam and Where is still missing from Market. It must be a carrier thing but I thought we all share the same android Market. I even tried a search for Poynt and that wasn't in Market either. I do have the apk for Shazam and I tried to install it but It failed (the same install worked last time). So I think these two great apps are gone for good from T-mobile.
I can find Shazam here in the UK.
try sound hound. blows shazaam out the water
I just checked my market (Motorola Droid running CM v6.0.0) and both Where and Shazam both show up. So it must be a carrier thing, not an Android Market thing.
Such a shame but thanks for recommending Sound Hound. It works great. One down and one to go.

I'm pretty sure you can get poynt from the website (but it just may email you a link to the market I'm not sure).
http://poynt.com/android.html
yes, it's just a link to the market and it's not available off the market. But thanks anyways.
Have you tried the market enabler? I was told something about changing regions but I've never installed it. Might be worth a try if you have a free minute.
nope no different. anyone know of an app that will replace "Where"?
bump 10chars
Every phone "shares the same Market" as you said, but we're not allowed to walk down the same aisles. Developers can filter their app to not be visible by certain carriers or in certain countries, so you may not see it on T-Mobile but somebody on Verizon might.
As for Where, there are a million of those location awareness apps that can replace it. They may not be as good or to your preference, but Poynt, Yelp, Geodelic, etc. might do the core features.

IMO, Google Places and GasBuddy replaces WHERE. If you really want the food etc type stuff, add Yelp too.
Or download the WHERE apk I suppose. It's around.
I have a nexus one running cm6 on T-Mobile USA and both of the apps show up on the market just did a quick search to make sure
The PayPal Mobile app disappeared for me from Verizon's market after I upgraded my Droid X to 2.2. Apparently it's still visible to 2.1 users, presumably since Verizon has been so slow about officially pushing out Froyo. I finally tracked down the APK and all is well.
The geographic/version limitations of the market are silly in the 'big picture' but I guess they make sense from a business standpoint for the carriers and everyone else getting a piece of the pie

I have the same specs as well but it still isn't visible in market. So I guess it's area specific? I'll give those other apps a try. Thanks guys. It's just more convenient when you have just one app that can complete multiple functions instead of having two or three apps.

Where did you find the PayPal apk? I've been trying to find it and get it from PayPal for quite some time now...
EDIT: Never mind. I was able to find the apk from Android Freeware.
They replaced Shazam for Shazam Encore now, so now its no longer unlimited tagging its replaced to 5 tags a month now. You have to buy it to get ad free and also get it unlimited tags
Any inspiration? Hah, get it...play on words =D.
Phone will be in hand on Feb 13th when it comes out.... get ready..

The envy is setting in, at least until tomorrow morning.
Picked one up this morning. This is my first Android based phone, so it will take some getting used to. Other than that, the phone's build quality is exceptional.
P.S. - I noticed there is no way to see raw files and folders, I'm assuming there is an app for that.

HTC Official Skins
I'm having trouble logging into HTC Sense so was wondering if any could post the official HTC skins downloadable from HTC (Slate, Black Board, HTC, etc.). FYI, xda search is temporarily unavailable at the moment.
Edit: I just extracted the APK from the stock zip. If there are more than three stock HTC skins, please post. THX.

FYI, here are two more that I just downloaded once the servers were back up. They are stock HTC skins unmodified.
First time posting and sorry if this is a repost. Since search is down, I couldn't find anything on this on the first 8 pages.
For those who bought the T-Mobile version, have you noticed the Locations application is missing? or is this called something else. The cool thing this application added was that when in Navigation and a person called you, it wouldn't kick you out of the navigation app. This was all part of the HTC Sense experience. HTC's website says this is included, but my noticed I didn't have it.
on my htc flyer, it s call locations and it is missing from the sensation.
I noticed that I don't have it either, which kinda bums me out, because sometimes while driving, I do lose data, and Google Maps takes a dump (and I can't find a good offline map app).
I just got off the phone with HTC. They confirmed that the locations app is only available on the European editions and the US version don't have it. Hopefully this is a later update.
I wonder if someone can rip it out of Euro sensation and we can try to just install it like a regular app....

You think that would include US maps?
What is so exciting about Locations? The first thing I saw when I tried to do anything useful in it was how I got a weeks trial and then had to pay to use any navigation features.

I thought walking navigation was free, no? The other advantage is it uses phone resident maps, so you don't need a data connection. Lastly you can pay for a month at a time, so for some it's cost effective.
I have telenav gps navigator on my US Sensation with the same one month pro trial and free basic usage. I also Gaia free from Amazon which has pretty good downloading capability but the street maps arent as up to date as Google or Bing.
it's not the only thing Tmobile took out. Made a post with all of it listed:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1125913
I purchased Sensation yesterday in Singapore (Starhub) and Locations is included. Looks like it is included for Euprpean and Asian markets.
As a matter of fact, I also found a voucher code in the box that gives me unlimited navigational capabilities for Singapore and Malaysia.
Probably a complete noob question but I'll ask anyway.
The trial period on Locations has just expired on my new Sensation XE and every time I put the phone in the car cradle it attempts to start it. Of course after checking for a licence it comes up with the buy licence screen which is really annoying and a waste of time.
Can I simply uninstall locations & if so will it then default to Google maps & navigation?
Whats everone's favorite for a car mode system?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah uninstalling it should be fine.

OK so real noob question, I don't seem to be able to un-install locations. Can this be removed or is it in the ROM?
Tried going to the applications manager but there is no option to un-install.
Any help please.
It's in your system/app , just use any file explorer to remove it. Must have soff and root.

This, or you could use Titanium Backup.
Filter so it only shows 'system' apps and it should be there.
Thanks guys,
epsix, whats soff and root?
k0zmic, I'll install titanium & try it that way cheers.
By the way as Locations is provided as a trial version whats the "official" answer to this if you don't want to buy the app, surely htc don't expect us to have a defunct piece of software popup every time we use the phone?
So spoke to HTC yesterday and it seems that yes they do expect us to put up with the buy licence nag screen when using the car cradle. Apparently there is no way to say no to buying a licence once & for all
Locations itself still works & the navigation package still works you just have to cancel the nag screen & start again manually. Of course you loose the car panel & premium navigation but as I couldn't really tell much difference between them that's no loss.
Have installed EVA & Vlingo & will see which one I prefer before deleting Locations.
Pity, that's the first negative I've found since moving to Android from Windows.

I bought the phone from Saudi Arabia. I have the S3 version.
I am not 100% sure about this, but if I recall correctly it used to write from left to right when i bought it. <-- Not too sure about this.

So i took a screenshot
the justification does not solve the problem still

I downloaded a program called morelocale2 and it allowed me to change my country to stuff outside the preinstalled countries so I set it to Canada since that's where I live but it is still the same
I have the exact same problem with my htc sensation (bought in Lebanon), when I updated to ice cream sandwich and got the note app.
I contacted htc support and I received this reply: "Kindly note that this issue has been escalated for a higher level for investigation and we would contact you the moment we receive an update."
I hope that someone knows how to fix it and thanks for the help.
"I can see how the text starting on the other side of the screen would be quite the problem. I would be glad to address this with you. In regards to this, many settings of the phone are set to what region they were manufactured for. I took one of our test One S phones and there isn't a setting in the app to change the text orientation. As a workaround for this, I'd suggest trying a third party app from Google Play store. I'd like for you to give this a shot, and if you have any further problems then let me know. In the meanwhile, I hope you have a great day!"
This is the answer I got from HTC when I told them about the problem, does any one know such app?

I know you are not rooted
If it is only the notes app can you somehow uninstall/delete it and re install it or another note app from market
I rooted my phone same day I bought it, so am not familiar on how to do that stuff on non-rooted phones
There is no way to uninstall it using the normal uninstallation methods and I have not found a way to download it again. I would gladly download a diff notes app however I cannot find a semidecent one that I like

Agreed Evermore is great. Perfect sync from pc to phone.
Hahaha! Sorry, but that's got to be so annoying it's hilarious.
Try Evernote. HTC Notes actually syncs with Evernote anyways, which is why it asks for you to login when you turn it on for the first time. Great app, has all the features of stock Notes + a lot more.

Hi all, this is my first post in here so plz bear with me if i sound like such a newb.. so i got my HTC one S last week, after being totally bored with 4yrs of iOS.. i gotta say everythin is great.. except for the crappy Calendar, no iOS-style shake to Undo, and this little issue with Notes: it also insists on typing English characters from right to Left! Needless to say this is frustrating for sum1 who uses Notes multiple times a day.. and such a disappointment for an -almost- flawless device & OS.. No i do not think downloading a third-party application, or rooting the device is worth the hassle because i am not trying to locate a star in space, i just wanna type sum text for god's sake! come on there has to be a solution to this.. Furthermore, the iPhone 5 is coming out soon.. just sayin.. FYI i also got my device from Saudi, running ICS 4.0.3 + HTC Sense 4.0.. Cheers

Run a WWE RUU. Why did you talk about the iPhone 5? It has no relevance. The problem is where you bought the device from, which is Saudi Arabia. Arabic writes from right to left, which is why you should buy it from another country if you're from a different country.

To tell the truth, i didn't face this problem on my EVO 3D before. . . But it started when I installed the stock rom made for middle East and updated to ICS. . . I don't know but I believe if you flashed a none Middle East rom you'll get it fixed. . .
