htc glacier replacement problem - General Questions and Answers

so i got my htc replacement and my old broken one would always let me choose what media player i wanted to use to view videos from the internet but this new one (same phone) never has the option. once i open videos it takes it directly to that stupid twonky server. how can i get it to use the defualt player?
also how can i change my default browser. i download boat browser and the option never came up like it did before. now when i open a reddit link it takes me to the default internet.
someone please help.

Google Talk Video Chat - HTC Sensation

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.

Hi,
Do you know what i need to do if i want to use the back camera during video chat? There is no rotate funciton in gtalk like there is in Honeycomb

Any roms have password protect on gallery folders?

I don't want to run an app for this. Was just wondering if any roms had it built in.
Seems like every time you want to show somebody ONE picture they go scrolling through them all.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
There is no native gallery lock. What you could do though is create a folder where you put pics you want to share and before showing somebody hide all but that album. But really, what kind of pictures are you taking with your phone.... (just kidding, don't answer that )

Google search crappy update

Did the new update also mess up the searching capabilities of your phone? Try to.search sth in the music library..
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
Damn it did. Music search does not work anymore Let's see if I can get rid of the bloody update...
Can you describe more of what you mean? I can still search music and everything just fine.
No u cant from e.g music player, open the music player and go to album/artist/all songs section and try to press the search button.. ive been reading a lot of negative feedback for the new search update, apparently it messed up all htc models and samsung aswell

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.

U2 is one of my favorite bands did u try by the steps I mentioned? Open music player -> open all songs directory -> press search
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
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...

I am deeply deeply sorry for my rude post then. The thing is a lot of users are so mean here and there is so much hate going on that I just automatically triggered my defence mechanism... Again I hope u can forget this little dispute as I am truly ashamed of my words..

Everyone I know it works from the homescreen but try this OPEN MUSIC PLAYER -> OPEN ALL SONG LIST -> PRESS SEARCH

[Q] Push notifications (Twitter) not working

Hi,
Recently my twitter push notifications are not working...
Using the official twitter app
WHen i get mentioned, there's no response from my phone at all..
This used to be working, but im not sure when it stopped working. Could possibly be after the new twitter update for ICS devices, but im pretty sure it wasnt really working before that..
When i enter the accounts & sync settings page, I notice that sync is currently experiencing problems syncing twitter contacts. Perhaps this caused this problem?
Anyone experiencing similiar problems and have solutions, please share them with me! Thanks!
For me the best push notification for twitter or facebook is using email like K-9 or maildroid... Seems so much faster..
I get notifications fine, but I am also seeing failed contact syncs for Twitter.

Hulu plus hack

So if your one of the many people unable to watch Hulu due to a error saying you must be on carriers latest update then I have a solution. Simply use a app to access root then go to data/data/com.Hulu.plus/app_sslcache and delete play.Hulu.com.
Edit: when you start up a video I've noticed it may say unable to load advertisement from our sponsors nothing to worry about just let the timer for the unplayable commercial run down which is Like 20 secs and video should play but if not just change the quality of the video to medium and let buffer then change back to high and your golden
