I'm on Orange with 2 swappables I've never used, hacked the phone, put ICS on it. Tried to swap the swappables, but I can't pick anything other than Russel Grant Astrology.
I'm assuming this is because it checks the android version or something, it's not the phone model as I've changed that and it did nothing.
I'm pretty resigned at the moment, but I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

do you guys think it will become possible ? im considering this marvelous phone, but it lacking androids greatest feature to mod it the way you want to kinda sucks. kinda = a lot.
btw htc bloatware = crap all the way, and sense aint so pretty either
lol go buy an iphone and suffer then.......Android is the best and is u put effort in u can find some1 close to you to s-off for a small fee like a 10ner
but yh shudnt be far off now they should have a exploit in a week or two
My Desire S arrived today. Been playing with it for a couple of hours now. Doesn't actually come with that much bloat. Plus with double the internal storage and extra RAM, even at stock it's much smoother and snappier than my old rooted and heavily optimised Desire. Very pleased with it. Wont be long until the unrEVOked team crack it, but I don't find myself missing root privileges too badly.
A bit scared by HTC Hub though. Was running the Desire S ported ROM on my Desire to see if I liked it. When I turned my new phone on today, it somehow knew my wireless router key and jumped straight on my network, then proceeded to download and install all the apps I had on the ported ROM!
Not sure I like the idea of HTC being able to get my wireless network key off my phone.
Edit: Need to change my sig!

it's google, not htc
disable the automatical backup in options -> privacy.. or however its called in english
there is a option to automatically backup & restore your apps, favorites, wlan passwords etc.
i got still a desire hd, getting a desire s soon but most of the ported desire s, incredible s and pyramid roms got auto backup enabled by default so i everytime get apps installed which is kinda annoying

It's not really bloated but i do want to remove things like Twitter, Peep, Plurk & even Facebook since i don't use it. I actually use the Friend Stream & other HTC widgets since i'm just an Android HTC virgin.
I have said YES to the poll but I don't believe that this will happen within weeks.
I believe that with forthcoming release of the HTC sensation (dual core) which I assume will be locked down in the same way, more developers will start working on cracking the problem and therefore an answer might be found.
But I don't believe that it will happen for a months yet (happy to be proved wrong)....which is why I'm finding a XTC clip to use.
Yeah probably right. Two of my friends are about to get the Desire S. When they have, I'll try seeing if they want to go £33 in each to buy an xtc clip.
Then I'll pimp it out at £10 per S-off until it's paid for itself.

Looks like a workaround is almost out - well, one for the incredible S which is very similar to the desire S.

First thing I wanna do is root the phone and put sense rom 3.0 on there... Can any software version be able to rooted or do I have to look for a certain version when I buy the phone tomorrow...
Any
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA Premium App
Yes, from everything I've read so far, it does not matter software version. As the Hack Kit and Bubby's OneClick both get root to the device in both cases of pre or post HSUPA-update. There are pre and post HSUPA-update radios, so that's no problem. If you see 1.84.502.11 under software version, by going to settings, about phone, and then clicking software information, then you have a phone that has received the OTA HSUPA-update. If you see a slight difference in the version number then what I have listed, then it does not have that update installed.

Well, have you owned an inspire before?
Why not at least test out the phone while it's stock (assuming it is), for a few days, at the very least?
That way you can test it out to make sure everything works correctly, and get a feel for the behavior of the phone "normally."
That way once you start flashing roms and something goofy starts happening (trust me, it will), you'll have a reference point.
A Vodafone customised version of Android Market has just been silently pushed to my Sensation.
"My Apps" tab has been replaced by "Vodafone" - a list of vodafone apps and other recommended apps.
I do not want this crap - I was just about happy, putting up with the minimal branding as it existed. Now I need to be able to flash a generic ROM again.
What region?
I just noticed something like this, but after a reboot it disappeared (please note that I have fast boot deactivated).
I'm in the UK.
welcome to the club, TMO has i think 8 apps/links that are completely useless, and 3 or 4 are ALWAYS running, chewing up the ram
and im still on stock out of box OS version :/

You're right. I just rebooted and it returned to normal. What are they up to?
My unbranded UK Sensation has a HTC button in place of the normal My Apps. I find it a tad annoying, as I'm used to clicking that button to check what updates I have available.

What market version is it? Mine is 2.3.4 but i saw on the Vodafone forum about this this morning.
Mine is also 2.3.4 now, but I didn't check it at the time, before the problem went away on reboot.
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
from what i know its not crapware just an extra channel with apps reduced or free. It makes sense that if this takes off then there will be no need to have all the bloat on your phone in future.
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/2011/07/04/vodafone-add-their-own-android-market-channel/
Really angry about this decision to hijack my Market app without consent. I prefer the much more useful "My Apps" tab not some link to crap 'partner's apps.
On unbranded you get HTC.
Freeze the stock market using temp root and then put an intended market on your phone using gapps.

As anybody else on vodafone uk notice the hidden vodafone rescue app start to install itself whenever debugging is on and you reboot? Even when you un-install it it will reinstall when you reboot.

Ok, so I got my HTC Sensation "carrier free", but it's actually a SFR France branded terminal. One of the worst supported models out there. I only got that ~27MB OTA update. Even with that, I still didn't had HTC Watch on the phone. So I did an S-OFF and unbranded the phone. I now have HTC Europe 1.45.401.2 stock ROM installed, WITH HTC Watch. The only thing is that I don't think it's the latest official app since mine only shows just 10 or so trailers at the top in that ribbon and at the bottom it just says HTC Watch, nothing else, no button, no menu options besides "check for updates". Which doesn't find anything.
Is this related to my country in any way (Romania), because I know I can't have access to stuff like Netflix or Hulu, or is the version just too old? Mine is 0.2.30.1.33 ... On the other hand, the widget seems to be OK.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Maybe someone has an ask file I can use. Thanks....

hi, first you have to create an account (settings, account and sing, add account).
than it will locate you, and may be you will got it.
I did not. I contact htc support and they told me that the content is not available in my region. so good luck to you

A friend is coming by, she bought a used one X on At&t, bought a sim for simple mobile. Worked great but she decided to reset her phone due to previous owners content. She says the phone is not working correctly, wants me to root it for her. Her resetting phone should not have effected the phone in anyway, or am I missing something?

most likely she did something else to it, but there are many procedures to unbrick the one x (if that i the casE)

what exactly is not working correctly?
i dont suggest rooting the one xl for someone. This phone is a bit quirky compared to others.
factory reset shouldnt have hurt anything..
you can try running the ruu. just bear in mind 3.18 is not rootable.
Im not sure what's not working, sorry for being so vague. She wasn't very explicit. She just said it wasn't the same after doing a master reset. I thought maybe APN settings, but from what I've read it doesn't seem that you need to modify them.
I'd rather not root her phone, but I have rooted HTC before, sensation to be exact. My luck, ill brick the damn thing. I'm not as familiar with HTC as I am with Samsung, but I could figure it out.

It is'nt hard, as long as you do not have the JB update (3.18 like exad said)
If you can unlock the bootloader, and install another room, then go for it. If not, just take exad's advice, and install the RUU. Kind of like restoring an iDevice in iTunes
She has android 4.0.3. I will check boot loader, she is stuck on edge service though.

The HOX isn't operate on same bands as T-Mobile, (simple mobile) unless she's in a new 4g area she's only going to get edge speeds
