Market has vodafone branding - HTC Sensation

Decided to go onto the markeylt to have a look for some alps as you do when I noticed the now on the market where it has the 3 short cut options apps games and my apps now shoes apps games and vodafone.... On there is a bunch of apps they reccomend, apps I already know about and don't use because I don't want to so I was a little annoyed to see the my apps button removed
You branded vodafone

I have a thread open about this. Restart the phone and it goes back to normal. I don't think we were supposed to see this yet. I'm expecting it to become permanent in the future, perhaps to coincide with a ROM update.

Yeah, seems OEMs/Operators are starting to link into the apps more

Did you restart or shutdown? Shutdown will not make any difference

I have a Vodafone Sensation... and yes it is there and it stays there also after reboot.
That really is annoying!
I hope i will be able to put the unbranded Firmware on my phone next days...

Unbranded handsets still say 'HTC' instead of My Apps - looks like it's going no matter what

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15401386&postcount=15

Ive just noticed an app in my app drawer called Vodafone Rescue. Im sure it wasnt there before. As anyone else got this?
Found its description HERE.
I think it can be uninstalled but im sure ive never noticed that before.

yea you are right this wasnt there before, I noticed this on my first sensation when I sent it back and got a new one it wasnt there, it appeared when I had to restart my phone, the Vodafone Branding came on the market and the Rescue service also appeared.
I assume its remote access if you are having problems, voda can take controle of your phone and sort any issues.

Can it be related to which SIM card you have in your phone? I have a Vodafone branded Sensation but still with the SIM card of my current operator (going to Vodafone in a month) and in the market it still says My Apps.

I would assume that vodafone send down some form of 'Ping' at some point that adds Vodafone Rescue and changes the market menu link, but I cant be 100% sure, but I would assume it has something to do with the sim

Unbranded FW now says 'HTC' instead of My Apps but you can still get it by going Menu>My Apps

cheers eddie, i feel the removal of apps on android is a drawn out task, I know using launcher pro enables you to drag and drop apps inot the bin to uninstall but I would think this should be a standard feature

Just had this chat with Htc:

I do have rescue but i can't see any changes to the market, and i have restarted phone recently.... Hmmm....

the quicker we get s-off with perma root, the better. I dont like how vodafone have the ability and right to install their crap without permission or warning, on a device I own and that I have paid for.
Custom unbranded rom please!

Google Earth

Anyone able to install Google Earth on the sensation yet? Searched for it on market place and while it's there, once I chose it, it wont see my device and won't let me install it.
If I browse from my phone I can't even see it.
Does that mean its not supported or summit else ?
I have it on mine
Works just fine

Have you tried to open the market on your phone, then menu, settings and allow all applications? I got it and works fine... otherwise you can find it directly on the market place : https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.earth&feature=search_result
Depends which region you are in and which market and if the regiuonal market supports that particular device/ROM. I cannot get it from the market here in Singapore on the Sensation but do have it on the Flyer.

Am I the only one who has problems with Google Earth?
I mean, using normal view is ok even with ground elevation, but if I switch on 3D buildings the app becomes slower than a snail on a turtle. Of course Sense restarts when I exit.
This sure isn't a cpu issue since this happens both with stock [email protected] and [email protected] Judging from the fact that the app itself eats up almost 100-200mb or RAM (with buldings off and on respectively) it sure is a memory issue. Anything else I could try?
At least I found an easy way to clear ram when I need it or when Sense starts restarting itself! I experienced multiple restarts a while ago, free ram was always below 80mb with nothing running. So I just opened the app, browsed around the map with buildings off, and then closed it through task manager.
I'm at 180-150mb now and it hasn't dropped since
Google earth is on play store and it works great

is it possible .......

to remove the vodafone rubbish of the sensation
i know it's not a rootable phone ATM but is there a way to put unbranded software on the phone ???
You can't remove the Vodafone stuff on the phone.
You can put unbranded software on the phone via your own apks, or downloading from the market. Obviously some of these apps need root, but thats a different story.
I am using golauncher and you can hide the icons. That may relieve the issue short term.
Out of sight out of mind!

[Q] Call policy

Oke folks i have a simple question.
I need a WORKING call policy app, i dont care whether paid or free. I've tried several apps from Android Market but theres one problem with them, neither runs in background or automatically starts after phone restart. Even if the description says they do ... they dont, like Call Manager PRO for instance. All i need from this app is when i set up a time interval, example 8PM-8AM, only certain phone numbers will be able to call me/reach me in this time period, rest will get either redirected or sent back SMS with some random "not available, will call laters" sms. I was getting through out the Sensation apps and setting and theres nothing like that build-in by default, unlike iPhone for example.
Is it realy so hard to find a working app, which doesnt autoclose when i start another app or auto starts after phone restart. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Use root call blocked pro. I have been using it for a month now. Works for me.

I use Call Filter, but it does not have time of day scheduling like you want. I have been using this one for years on 3 different phones and it does what I need it to do.
Maybe this one?

Carrier Billing For T-mobile USA Disappears then Reappears

For as long as T-mobile has allowed it, I've always had issues with it randomly disappearing then appearing regardless of what I do. Just to confirm modifying wasn't the cause, I completely restored my device to its out-of-box state to no avail. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, installed different versions of the market, etc but still nothing
Then one day out of the blue, there it was. The very next day, gone. Not sure if this has been address before, and it's not a major issue, it simply annoys the hell out of me not knowing the cause! Anybody know why?
HTC Sensation
Very annoying!
Now as far as I know this happens if the app you are trying to purchase has to be paid to an account outside of the USA, but it seems like you were trying to purchase 4ext which I was easily able to pay with tmobile account

Strange download notification

Today i've connected to wifi at my home and recieved strange notification with the download icon, it was written in chinese or something like that... of course i ignored it but i'm really curious now, someone else got it and\or know what it is?
are you on MIUI? could be a theme
No... Pure stock ics
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA
Yesterday I received a strange notification also but mine was in English. It said upgrade available please reboot now and delete this message. It struck me very strange because I'm rooted have custom Rom and I had NO upgrade waiting for me. I just deleted it and did not reboot... So strange? Still don't know what it was about. But I read to be carefull about things like this because it could be a virus.

Could you post a screenshot?
Might be some app you've installed sending your AirPush adds or something similar.
Search in the Play Store for AppBrain ad detector, Airpush detector or similar.
Today I received the notification again,here's a screenshot

I've got a Verizon GNex, pure stock also and just woke up this morning with this same notification, actually 2 of them. I dismissed them before taking a screenshot figuring I'd find them in my file explorer, but no luck.
I installed Avast and ran a scan of all my apps and my SD card, but it all came back clean.
Any ideas?
Perhaps a small issue in the Play Store where accidentally wrong APK's get pushed? I haven't read anything about that though.
