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.

unfortunately iam not rooted nor iam planning to be, thanks anyway
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?

Does anyone know if this works and I am just not seeing the video icons in my friends list, or if this is prohibited with the Gtalk pre-installed on the sensation.
IF the latter is there an open APK that will allow this from another forum perhaps?

Official app only works in 2.3.4

only bad thing about VTOK is when I had it installed it never shut off & drained by battery quickly. Even with the screen off, it was always using the CPU & keeping wifi on. Signing out of your google account didn't shut it down either
I've emailed the developer but still haven't heard back after a week.
On my galaxy tab I am running the Overcome 2.0.1 ROM which is a Gingerbread 2.3.3. The version of Google talk pre-installed with it does video chat. Perhaps there it a way to extract the APK from the galaxy Tab and use it with our 2.3.3 phones?
I could be completely wrong on this, but...
I believe that the Talk app is installed into the system folder and therefore we'd have to push the replacement file into the system folder, which we can't do right now?

Hi guys,
What version of Talk actually works on the Sensation then? I have insertcoin 3.3.9 which gives me android 2.3.5 with 3.5 sense but i cannot for the life of me work out how to get the video icons on my contacts. I have tried everything and still nothing as even tapping on my avatar does not give me an option to enable / disable video.
Anyone know what i need to do?
So far it's been working for me with most of the versions of InsertCoin. Just make sure that the contacts on the side has enabled their option to receive video calls.

Can't you see the to/from on your bill? I'm sprint and I can see this --not actual words but texts to/from numbers
Then use reverse lookup to get info, or google

it's actually an app that tracks your phone, can show call logs/texts, & what not. I use it in case my phone is ever stolen & it's way better than HTC's htcsense.com site.
for your case, you'd need to install it on her phone & then you can do with it what you want. There's a 7 day trial for it. If you send the command to get texts the phone doesn't know it. Also, you can make it hide the program from the app drawer so that it doesn't look like it's installed.
I know this isn't the intended use, but it may help you out

First off, I have to say I love the into video for the site... need to make one for my own.. LOL
I just got the HTC Sensation as a surprise gift from my wife, I was gonna hold out and jailbreak a Iphone 5. I know how to do that.
But here I am with a 14 day return policy from T-mobile, and I want to get this phone in working condition to what I need.
IE I am under the gun to make it work.
This is why I am offering Beer money via PayPal for anyone that can help me fix a few minor issues I have with the phone.
First and foremost is Sound... I am hard of hearing, my wife likes to call it selective hearing because i can tune her out every time she starts to *****...
But honestly the sound levels are just way too low. I bought the app Volume + plus. I can't tell if its working or not....
Second I just need someone to walk me through some general stuff about the phone to personalize it to my liking.
Third is to help me get Yahoo and or any other mail service to PUSH my mail forward, I do a lot of business with my phone, and if I have to wait 5 minutes every time i get an email sucks.
Please email me at Sincityelectric at yahoo dot com and add me to skype if you can help me with this phone.. I'll get back to you in 5 to 10 minutes whenever I can hear the email notification, or when ever the darn phone decides its important enough to send it to me... LOL

Surely personalizing a phone to your specific liking is something best done yourself. From the home screen click the tab on the bottom, furthest to the right to begin personlizing.
As for syncing your Yahoo account, there's no intergrated syncing system with HTC but ofcorse you can download the app and place it on your screen as an app shortcut
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
About the sound, have you tried going into Menu>Settings>Call and check the box where it says Hearing aids?
There is no push email app. There was several on the market but all were pulled. Use volume+ and equalizer for sound. I don't suggest the hearing aid option. If you want to fully personalize download a different launcher with a theme. I have adw ex launcher. They have good themes. As well as Go Launcher ex they have a lot of themes as well. Sense itself doesn't have much to customize but the lockscreen and the wallpaper.

The Yahoo Mail app is pretty good and is push. Free, download it from the Market.
Sound. Sound on the Sensation sucks completely. Volume+ and these other appstore still suck. There's no fix for a crappy speaker HTC made the phone with.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Thanks all for some solid advice. I did try the hearing aid, and I did pay for the volume +. Didn't seem to make much of a difference...
D/L the Yahoo mail now and see if that helps.
Now is there anything like installous for Android devices?
I was able to root my HTC Sensation, I was hoping I could get inside and adjust the default Volume ect. Playing music is fine, but the speaker phone is just pure crap...
Again, thank you all for the advice and tips.

Hi All,
First, I wanna say that you guys are so freakin awesome! I've been an xda lurker for a while, but figured it's time for me to join and interact with my fellow HTC Sensation-ers.
It'd be a good chance for me to contribute to these forums, as well as getting some help for my Sensation problems. Glad to be a part of you guys now
Question: Why doesn't Facebook for Android push notifications work on my Sensation 4G?
Background Info: Private Messages in Facebook get pushed, but regular notifications (e.g. wall posts, comments, likes) do not get pushed to my device.
Went into facebook settings, and everything it's at its default values (never touched a thing). Notifications are on.
Other information pertaining to situation: Background data is ON. Always-On mobile data has been tried on and off. Same results both ways.
Can you help a brotha out?
Thanks, guys! I look forward to being a part of your community.
I read that if you sign in on a blackberry it fixes that for android due to a permission that Facebook for bb gives. I don't know if its true but worth a try I guess

Hi fr0zenblood75,
Thanks for the response.
I also have read that before. I actually went far enough to borrow my friends Bold 9780 without him knowing
Alas, it did not work
Does every Sensation user have this issue? Or am I in the minority with this?
Also, I've restarted my phone, factory reset, uninstall and reinstall app....nothing works.
Facebook kinda sucks. You try another app like friendcaster?

It sucks that the Facebook app is garbage
I guess the developer has no incentive to get the app working properly for everybody, seeing that it's not ad-supported.
Hi !
It's kinda difficult for me to explain but it's fairly simple:
I have 2 android phones:
1. Phone "A" with number I use all day and carry it with me.
2. Phone "B" with number I use rarely and usually it stands on the shelf all day long.
I receieve calls, SMS and other things on phone "B" occasionally. Sometimes entire day passes until I see that I have missed call, SMS or other notification.
Is there an app that would notify me on phone "A" that I have some activity on phone "B" ?
Thanks in advance ! :good:
Im looking for a same aplication too for android. Can anyone give us a clue??
