Just want to ask why maps and com.HTC.laputa always run on my phone. It shows on my battery usage even if I restart the phone they always come back. Both of them uses atleast 4 to 6% of the battery.

On set up did you allow google to use your location? It's one of the questions as you set up. I would run set up again and select no on that one. Then when it asks if your sure, select yes then check battery history after. Let ne know

Ya that what I found out. Because its constantly due to some apps need location permissions in order to AUTOMATICALLY update. But you can still manual update and not have that app constantly running.
So that google location accept is only for applications auto update?
Well no it has many functions like location widget and geo tag. But the autoupdate is what allows the ap to remain on.

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?

Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G
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

The slowness and lagginess of the new Market reminds me of Ovi Store on my old Nokia N96. Google can do much better than this! Probably a "contract out" job. No other Google app is anywhere near this bad.
Found a way to bypass the PIN system.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications >Market > Clear Data
If you had set up a pin, clear the data then it won't be set up anymore...
Really poor implementation.

Did you try purchasing an app after clearing data? I'm just thinking that although the cleared settings may not show there is a PIN set up anymore, it might be stored server-side?
Otherwise, yes, that is appalling!

Google Maps, Locations, AURA for Android, Sound Houd etc etc ... a message pops up telling me an update is available, when i tap it it shows the application page on market i tap update a loading circle appears and iam waiting and waiting and waiting ... 5min, 20min, 30mins .. then exiting market app with no update.

WOW! mine from the thread i posted works flawlessly. did you try it?
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.

You need to go into the settings in go into search and go into searchable items and check music and there you go. It didn't mess anything up.

Hi Xxul, I'd never even tried that method before to be honest and you're right, nothing happens when i press the search button when following the steps you wrote. I have to say I don't feel I'm missing anything as I never knew I could do this anyway but I can see it could be a frustration if you're used to it. Wonder what the logic was behind the change then
We can both be ashamed in our choice of music then too lol...
