Phone app is gone - HTC Sensation

My phone app is missing, I'm using sense so the phone is included in the bar but I also had the phone app on my lock screen and noticed it was gone. Opened app draw its not there, but if I go into manage applications its listed. Any ideas how I can get it back?

Mines gone too, but I didn't mess with my lock screen, so I still have it there. So If I do change my Lock screen, it will disappear.

I didn't even mess with the lock screen it just was a blank spot where the phone icon was.

Have you guys tried going into 'Menu>Personalize>Lock screen>Settings' and assign the phone app to the respective shortcut?

The phone app is no longer there.

Did you guys try a factory reset?

Not yet. Was hoping to find a different way first before a factory reset.

happened to me a while back when i first flashed rom on phone. for me, a reboot solved it. maybe i also wiped cache and dalvik.

The same thing has happened to me.
A Google search and a search here has returned no solutions.
I saw on a Google search it may have been the OTA update, not sure.
Disregard my signature, it's old. I am now running a 100% stock HTC Sensation. No mods, no Rom, no root (waiting for the official bootloader unlock).
Anyone found a solution for this. And please don't give me a tier 1 tech support answer, "we need to do a factory reset". I hate factory resets, at least not yet stock. Maybe after I root and put titanium backup back on this badboy.

Why are you still waiting for the "official" unlock? Pretty sure I have seen numerous threads stating that tmob sensation had.been added to HTC unlock if revolutionary concerns you.

Yep, takes 5 minutes to do it via HTC with their unlock code.

I just downloaded the phone apk from which a member created. U can find it on the forum, the link where u can download the apk file and use it on the lockscreen.

The unknown sources option was initially removed by AT&T. It belongs there now. The HTC Update feature is removed in Gingerbread. Fastboot has been moved in the settings menu. It is now in the Power subsection.

Open the market and go into the help section. Under troubleshooting, it tells you how to update there. If that doesn't work, I will post the apk file for you, so you can manually update. Just let me know if you get it to update or not.

I find THIS TOOL invaluable in removing everything that I do not want in my ROMS.

I've heard about this tool but I've never used it. Seems a bit complicated in that you have to flash stuff before flashing rom, and after. Also once you run the program everything is gone completely. I like having control using root explorer to either move or delete the files that way if something does go wrong I just add it back onto my phone and change the permissions. Maybe it's just a lack of knowledge.

Hi,
It's a lot easier than it seems,and speeds the installation process up.
Perhaps , it's not for everyone,but the [OP] stated removing bloatware ,which it does in seconds.
It takes a while to configure the initial user text file,but once you have done it, you don't ever have to do it again.
And you only have to run it once after flashing the ROM.
It takes 30 seconds to run.
How do I know which particular bloatwares to remove? I'm new to android. Less than a week old.

Hi,
Have a look at what is included in a basic ROM,by looking at THIS USER TEXT FILE.
You will also see guide alongside it showing what each one does.
Make sure you have notepad++(google it).
I have tried all I can but still can do the bloatware removal. I have rooted, enabled SU and I have installed root explorer but I don't know what to do now. The root explorer gives make access to the ROM but I don't know what to remove and how to remove it.

Strange new ota regarding mail

Hello people,I just check manualy from my DS for new OTA hopping that I might see the ICS OTA available.
Instead of ICS I see an OTA (downloading as we speak) that is supposed to be about-and I quote- "mail".
Has anybody received this as well?
Any idea what this might be?
I am also receiving the update, unbranded Desire S on O2 network in Germany.
Its been installing for like 10 minutes now allthough it was a small update.Do you have that problem too?
Sent from my HTC Desire S using XDA
please tell us if you see any changes or improvements.
Sent by my fingers to your head.
Yes, it is still installing, so I do not know what the update is good for. Mine also said it is for "mail".
I just installed it, it's finished now, but I don't see much difference when I look at the (htc) mail app. Maybe just some kind of small bugfix?
Its been over an hour and its still installing!!!!I even xhut down and restart the device and its still after all installing!!!Any ideas how to deal with this?

If you have custom recovery you have to restore from scratch. Sorry, OTA is just for Stock systems
I stopped it through applications management and clear all data for it and now the device says there us no upgrade available to install.Problem solved! ))))

Try downloading it again and save the update file from your sd card onto your comp.
Sent from an HTC device soon to be replaced by Samsung. Suck on that, HTC!!
Got it. Took less than a minute to download and install (unbranded, stock, UK). Doesn't seem to do anything visible.
Same here. Everything went pretty fast over wi-fi. Branded stock ROM.
I fail to see the logic and sense why HTC are still developing fixes etc for OLD GB ROMs. They should dedicate their time towards to bloody ICS update.
Ridiculous how slow they are. No word on the update yet, and already in May...

ViperOneS

Apparently I haven't posted enough to post in the ViperOneS thread. So I will try finding an answer here.
I flashed the OTA update and went from 2.1 to 2.2. Love the ROM! But it seemed very laggy, so I reverted back to 2.1 via a TWRP backup.
Is there a way to turn off the system update notification since I plan on staying with 2.1? I tried going to settings/applications/updater and unchecking notifications, but it's grayed out.
Thanks for the help.
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
yes, you can, in the setting, go to about, software update, uncheck scheduled check. This should prevent it from checking the update
Sorry, I failed to mention that I did that also and rebooted the phone. It's gone for 30 seconds after reboot, but reappears after that.

Should be in q&a...and I know ur new but u can still search. If u search the thread u will see that u can fix ur lag by reapplying the skin as well as clearing data in the venom tweaks app and the other one. As for disabling the update part I have no idea. Maybe disable notifications for the app that does it.
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app
Solution found: after "unchecking" the check for updates, settings/applications(all)/updater and then "clear data"
It all seems so obvious, now that I've figured it out.

Att one x won't even check for updates

I did manage to download the first 16mb "pre-update" but every time I go to check for updates it won't do anything at all. I've tried restarting and even changed between a few apns and nothing helps? Ive seen people having this problem but no solutions. Can anyone help me?

So there's really no simple way to do this. I have the otapkg.zip in my phone but it's only 2.57 kb. Could it be a failed download? I got a message that HTCdm stopped working earlier. Sorry for the noobish question, even after a year on android in not all that familiar.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
It doesn't seem all that difficult to me. As long as you're SuperCID and s-off it should be simple. Did you read the whole thread? There's nothing I can really tell you here that hasn't already been said there. Your simplest option is the RUU.
Sent from my Evita
Yea I read pretty much all of it, I'm completely stock so I'm not sure what amount applies. The only reason I was trying to get around manually downloading it is that my horrible internet connection at home which makes it a full day of downloading.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Either way, you're gonna have to download it somehow. The RUU is the easiest way. If you ever want to modify your phone though it must be done before taking this update because the current exploit has been patched in the update. You'll get a much better experience on a custom ROM but that's entirely up to you.

Could be. Delete it and try to check for the update again.
I tried that and deleting the data on the Google services framework too, got nothing. So I guess this weekend I'll do the ruu.
