[Q] HTC apps missing from marketplace??! - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I bought the HTC Titan from AT&T and unlocked it for use here in Toronto (Canada) on Telus Mobility. On intial set up I had access to the HTC apps.. I think even the Telus exclusive apps showed up later which was cool. Anyway.. the phone went bonkers and I had to hard reset.
Now I have no access to HTC apps at all. If I try to get them through the HTC hub it says they are unavailable to my region. Wrong! I had the HD7 before this and had access to them as well.
I've done a few more hard resets.. One time I even had access to the US only apps when I shouldn't have. But no matter what I can't get back the HTC apps in the Marketplace. I tried messing with my region settings in settings.. no change.
Could this have anything to do with me already syncing with Zune last night.. possibly causing a region issue? Perhaps I should do a hard reset without the sim card in and try to access the marketplace via wi-fi only?
Any suggestions??

iam testing...

I did some testing as well last night..
Seems the only way to resolve the issue was perfroming a hard reset without any sim card installed AND by installing apps by wi-fi.

Sim Toolkit

Hi guys,
I have bought an Anextek SP-230 PC Phone, and I read that QTEK 2020/XDAII has this little program included in the ROM file.
Considerating that Anextek PDA has already the necessary Registry Keys and I need the Sim Toolkit as I perform serveral banking operations, I would like to know if someone can send it to me, because I tried to dump it from the XDA Rom and from Extended Rom but without luck.
Thanks in advance
Here is the version from my imate (ROM 1.72).
I don't believe that it will work.
I hope there are all relevant files in the zip....
Happy trying...
Stefan
Thank you very much for the attachments.
All the libraries are already present in the PDA; the program launches correctly, however unfortunately I think that the program handles in a wrong way my SIM card driver and is unable to find the services (because it says that "there are no applications installed on your SIM").
However I would like to thank you guys again.
Glad to help. Sorry it does not do what you wanted it to.
FWIW - it does the same thing with my SIM, T-Mobile does not put apps on the SIM.
I'm quite sure that in Vodafone IT 64k SIM cards are present some apps (they also offer the possibility to change the installed services over the internet ). I fear that QTEK/XDAII has a completely different way of handling SIM because also MMS Composer runs perfectly but is unable to detect the contacts (Anextek Sim Manager instead show them correctly)
Im also having an issue on the sim toolkit for my xda2.
My sim has mobile banking installed in it. When the xda2 is fresh from a soft reset, the application on the sim is accessible, but after a while, it tells me that there are no applications installed in my SIM.
Does anyone know how to solve this? I hate to have to reset my xda2 everytime, the sim toolkit tells me that there no applications installed.
Thanks
Hi,
Are you using SpbPocket plus 2.1? It may be this one that's causing your SIM toolkit not to work... just maybe... [/quote]

re:
Yes i am. It could probably be the reason. Is there a work around? But i also noticed that when i use my wife's sim card, it works fine even after a while
Well, I haven't figured out yet a workaround for that. I am not using Spb Pocket Plus now since I noticed it is also slowing down some of my apps...
i found the workaround. I disabled the CLOSE button in SPB pocket plus. Disabling the CLOSE button also solves the unwanted Hard Reset and duplicate sent SMS in my case.
That's great! I'll try to do that...

Resco tools and broken IMEI

Got my brand new HTC Touch Cruise the other week and it was working great. I then decided to try and Geotag my photos which apparently is as simple as changing a registery value. So off I go and download the trial of Resco Explorer 2007 and reg editor from their website and change HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\P9 »Enable« to 1
Soft reset the phone and then the phone no longer connects to the network.
(The geotagging feature of the camera worked fine too.....)
I uninstalled the tools, did a hard reset and reloaded the original ROM to no avail - the phone still refuses to connect to the network (Telstra NextG - Australia) which it was working fine with before. I have also noticed that when there is no Sim in the phone the IMEI does not agree with the one on the back and when the Sim is in it says the IMEI is "Not Support"
Any help would be appreciated, I'm missing my new toy already!
Do a Hard reset and your problems should be gone. Easiest way is "Settings > System > Clear Storage > 1234". Remember to sync your contacts before you do it and good luck
I'd already tried a hard reset and loading the latest ROM (Which was the same as the one it shipped with) but that did not work.
Just tried doing it again the way you suggested and it's still broken.
Also on further inspection my IMEI when it doesn't have a SIM in to is almost the same as the one of the back but just has an extra 01 on the end. It still says "Not support" when I have the SIM in it though....
All sorted out.... It seems it was an issue with Telstra(They said they had a brief outage, and for some reason my SIM didn't reconnect to the network until they gave it a "Kick"), not the phone that just happened at the same time as I was editing the registery. Talk about bad luck......

Yes so next time your Polaris not working so blame always your operator if the device dont connect, The imei cant NEVER chance with a registry chance what ever you do with the device the imei never changes, with that numbers you cant mess with
you said the imei changed when you have the sim card inside and evidently you couldn't connect to the network because of that... so deosn't that implys there's a 'possibility' that bypass the hardware imei by doing something to the sim? we might be on to something here guys..

Weird Network/Airplane Mode Issue

A couple of times now, when I'm out and about I lose my cellular data connection. It just stops working. In the past on other devices when this has happened a reboot will usually fix it. But on my Atrix 2, when I reboot the phone comes one with Airplane Mode enabled (please note that I did not turn on Airplane mode). If I try to turn Airplane Mode off, it will just sit and say "Enabling wireless connections" but never actually turn them on. I have to actually do a battery pull to fix this problem. The first time it happened I went and got a new SIM card (as mine was pretty old), and it just happened to me again this afternoon. I'm past my 30 day return policy (bought the phone at Best Buy) so I can't return it.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this?
Just to reiterate, I did not turn on Airplane Mode, the phone powers on with it enabled and then won't actually turn off Airplane Mode when I tell it to.
i have the same problem too. After it happens couple times, i find out it might be the problem from the at&t address book issue which cause the phone cant read the sim for some reason (as it result, airplane mode keep enable). I also believe it is because the phone has been unlocked so the at&t address book crash. Is your phone unlocked?
Well, i am not quite sure it work on ur phone, but here is how i do it usually.
Way 1- plugin another sim card(sometimes i dun even need to do it), load the at&t address book, it will force the phone to load sim card cause of the contact from sim (then it should work right after that or after reboot)
Way 2- pull the battery for 1 day, it will work after that(but this is kinda dumb)
Hope this can help you XD.

My phone is not unlocked. I could see the AT&T Address book thing contributing, I've NEVER had that thing work right, and thus I don't even have it set up on my phone (it's on there in my Accounts, but it's not configured that I know of because i do my contact syncing through Google).
Battery pull definitely solves the problem, at least temporarily. The only other SIM I have is the old one they took out when they replaced the SIM after this happened the first time. I also don't store any contacts on my sim (again use google for that), so I don't know if doing a SIM swap would solve the problem in a more permanent way since I've basically already done that.
I tried battery pull, but it doesn't work sometimes. The reason i run at&t address book because it would force the phone to detect the sim again(cause of the contact). Lucky it doesn't always happen. hoping Motorola can fix this issue on next update.
**I just think about it, it might be some stupid mistake from motorola that overwrite the memory about the phone status section.
have you guys tried factory resetting it?
I tried to reset but it doesn't help at all
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
how about freezing or removing the apps from att?

Hmm, I did this just yesterday, I'll give it a week or so and see if the issue happens again after setting my contact storage to my Google account.

ok just inform us what happens.
I have and identical problem.
My phone would turn with the Airplane mode ON and I can't deactivate it, or even if it shows I can, it's not in the menu and I won't get any signal.
I can't recall If it happened because of a change but I doubt so.
I tried factory reset / cache / dalvik, also flashing numerous rom from neutrino to cm7 to cm9 and even MIUI (which worked the first time I flashed it for a day and then same error).
And It will also occasionnaly reboot If I try too hard checking for networks and such.
Any help ?

Sim card not recognized, only for a short period after factory reset?!

I have a new sim card, it works great with my other phone,
but my oneplus One does make an issue out of it.
I just did a factory reset and it finally worked after trying every other trick (airplane mode on/off, taking out the sim card...)
I tried other sims and they do work 2/4, the sim out of my other phone didn't.
I have no idea whats wrong with my phone.
I am trying to factory reset it one last time, as I suppose it's taking my old apn setting from my google account.
I will try to go without play store for awhile if that works.
EDIT: ok, this didn't work. I didn't even connect to wifi this time, maybe the sim's dead?
But why is it still recognized by my other phone?
EDIT2: Just called the carrier, the issue is with my phone, as they do not block any models and oneplus one usually works with them.
