Where is the sound recorder app? I see it listed under manage apps but its not in my app drawer. And no I didn't disable it. Just did a factory reset so nothing is disabled. How do you access the sound recorder?

LOL it's in the market
Kidding, by adding a widget ti the screen (if you've downloaded it from the htc widgets app)
Or by installing a 3rd party one from market
Alternatively you can opprn the command prompt and type begin, writeln(LOL), readln; end. But that is only for hackers cuz we do it the hard way

haha I'm talking about the stock app. I dont havce a widget for it either. But the "Sound recorder" app shows up in manage applications. I just dont see a way to run it. It's odd every other phone I had, had the app in the app drawer
yeah, dude i thought i was the only one who noticed/needed this wtf is up with that?
note* i STILL cant find it...its prolly only there for integration for other apps :/
T-Mobile took it out for whatever reason. It's really dumb.

if you can see it in Manage Apps then try to search for it from the Home screen. I know the Dock Mode doesn't show up in my App Drawer but I an run it if I search for it.
& yes, TMOUS did take it out along with some other things.

good tip for the dock mode, i always saw it running, but never saw the app before
but voice recorder doesnt show up under that search, even when i enter the package name :/
oh well 3rd party app, here i come
EDIT: when looking at the all, its 0.00kb, with NO app data or cache...looks like they deleted the app data, but forgot to uninstall...slackass T-Mobile :/
Go to the market & download "any cut". Open it & select "new shortcut" & then select "activity". Once the list loads, scroll down till you find the entry for the sound recorder. Select it, follow the prompts, and it will add a shortcut to the sound recorder to your home screen. Voila- sound recorder.

You do know that it's HTC that does the software modifications that T-Mobile requests, right? So it's slackass HTC, not T-Mobile.
On another note, I agree that T-Mobile does always seem to request removal of useful things and add crap like MyAccount. We can get that off the market if WE want it. My best guess is that by the time they are done adding they're crap too much just is running the background so they start removing other stuff.

Hey guys. I was just wondering if it is possible to "hide" apps in the app drawer. Mainly, I want to keep the critical apps that some apps depend on, but I don't want them to be seen in the app drawer... Some examples would be Voice Search, Voice Dialer, Call History, Clock, PDF Viewer, and Talk. I just like having an uncluttered app drawer, but the only way that I know of doing this is to delete apps.

There is an app in the market, i think its like "App vault" or something like that.
I can't remember who makes it. But I think it does what you are looking for.

Thanks, I'll take a look at it. If that doesn't work, is there anyway this could be ported to our phone: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540880
Just found out that App Vault disabled the app rather than hiding it. Unfortunately that would break apps the depend on the disabled app. One search I did, I found people who were able to hide apps by renaming the .apk to .bak, but that disabled the app.
bump.
anyone have any info on how to hide apps in your app drawer with default home launcher?
If you're using Launcher Pro Plus, theres a hidden apps feature.

ADW allows this as well. While the app drawer is open press the MENU button and then "Choose Group" > Create New Catalog and then set it up with the apps you want to be visible

It's called choice. I don't want it for search at all. There are other apps that can take advantage of the search button on every other device except the Slide and the MT4G. Options are always a good thing.

So-- you can't find this in your app drawer.
You can do a search from your search button, or go into applications and loot at all applications. It's called
Dock Mode
And it came on the sensation.
I'm trying to figure out how to add an icon to the desktop... can someone help??

You have to plug your S4G to a dock to access it or use a dock simulator that's available on the market.

Oddly enough I was trying to use a desk dock app from the market when I stumbled on this dock app.
Wow, I've been wondering how to access this forever. It's so strange the app is missing but you can access it through search.

It's just like how the HTC eBooks app is missing but the widget is still there. The voice recorder app as well. So strange.
Ya, I noticed there was an ereader widget but no app, and I just got a notification from HTC on the phone saying there was a voice recording widget available..
I just played around with my phone and here is what I've got going on.
I've had deskloader app from the market on the phone. In order for the sensation desk dock to activate when plugged in I have to set up this deskloader app to :
Enable Dock Manager
Set select dock type to desk clock
Boot on start
And - I choose to use the schedule
If I disable this deskloader, it's a no go on power plug in for the sensation app to load.
Use AnyCut to create a shortcut or download Dock Simulator. In anycut there are two options for DockMode one also will launch clock apps like Gentle Alarm.
Download anycut from the market. Create shortcut>activity > dock mode.

Seems to work good for me. Only problem is it takes power to launch the dock, clock, or whatever app you want.
I was hoping to just use my spare charger and 3 batteries, fab up a quick "dock" or holder to place my phone in at night, and still use the dock.... the most desirable way by just hitting the dock button.
All these docks you plug your phone into are OK, but add any type of case and it's NO GO...

If you install adw or another launcher the dock mode app is available.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
You don't need a new launcher to access it. Apps Organizer or Folder Organizer from the Market will let you create custom folders for your apps, and dock mode shows up in it's list of apps, it's not a direct shortcut, but will let you place it in a home screen folder for easy access.
Ran into the issue where the lockscreen shortcut wasn't showing the Phone in the list. It was kind of pissing me off, so I made a simple app that will simply launch the Phone app. That's it. It's just a shortcut essentially.
Install as a regular APK.
I've named it "Phone" in the app drawer and gave it the same icon (as seen in screenshots below). I can rename it to like Dialer or something if you guys prefer to be able to distinguish it, but I'm sure this will do the trick for the majority who have this issue.

att made it inaccessible, but there is a way to get it on your homescreen. Get es explorer...open and go to the 5th menu button over "app manager" I believe. Then click on "category" at top and click on "system files" in the menu that pops up. Scroll down to the voice recorder and hold it until you see menu pop up...choose shortcut and it'll put the app on your homescreen. There is no way that I know of that will actually put it in your launcher though.

/replying to old post but maybe someone else will be looking for an answer/ Default voice recorder produces horrible sound quality because it saves the clips in a low quality 3gp format. If you're looking for something better, there are some 3rd party apps, that allow you to save audio, for example, in wav(es).
