Unfortunately this is only a leftover from Runny. It is unusable, you cannot add recipients there

can somebody please confirm that its a hardware that cant help us to have 3g native video call......

3G Native calling is a feature that is missing from Android OS. Samsung & LG have done their own implementation on their phones to support it. The only device that I heard supports it in the HTC range is Sensation, but I haven't seen it in action.

Video calling on Android phones
Google is purposely not using native 3G video(non-data) calling because it wants to promote Gtalk, third party companies, and use of internet plans. Same with Sony etc. Extra revenue is their main aim.
But what's the use ? All other chat-apps offer video calling.
So google should introduce it by themselves in their new and old versions by default.

Dialer Applications

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad
check out superdial
There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!
I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!
Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.

I downloaded this zip file and placed it within sdcard/OpenRecovery/updates folder,
reboot into Open Recovery and flash it via the Apply Update menu.
Here's the download link to the tweaked Talk ver.1.3 by xilard zip file which allowed the other party to view my back camera.

NFC apps

Anyone now some good NFC apps for the one x?
I cant seem to find the androidbeam.apk file either.
This device has NFC, but what can i do with it??
Afaik, you can't do anything with it. At least not with the AT&T version. It's not enabled yet.
Sent from my HTC One X
not even the android beam feature enable in the settings?
on well,
someone got it working on the samsung note from ATT (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1545751&highlight=nfc), so im sure they will figure it out on this one. AT&T really knows how to make a phone better.
NFC on the phone is kinda cool. My wife and I both bought HTC One Xs, and I can send her web pages/apps/etc via NFC.
Ah, I was thinking about the wallet apps. Apparently they're waiting to develop a competing product. Beam works I think.

Right. Wallet is galaxy nexus only, for now.
I use NFC Task Manager.
I can set my phone to automatically manage Bluetooth for my trip to work:
I also have my kitchen set up to set easy timers:

mind. blown.
Wow. I am about to order like 500 of these things and set what I can come up with this definitely sounds like a very fun summer project. Cannot wait to get started.
I did see that you can use the NFC with PayPal to request $$ but that's about it.
Which specific tags have you guys bought. I noticed on some of the sites that there are some tags that may not be compatible with our NFC frequencies.

Hi,
The latest version of AutomateIt (released today) also supports NFC.

My stolen phone(HTC desire) how to recover

hello to all genius
My phone HTC desire was stolen month ago and today i noticed from play.google.com that this phone is ON and being used and i am able to install any app. So my question is ,, Is there any way that i can install a app from play.google.com and i can see his location or phone number?
Please help me i m sure you guys definitely have answer for that case.
thanks
Zahid Ismail
I believe Lookout Security app has a location feature. Im not positive on that though. The problem is that even if you got the app to install, you would need to set the software up, which you can't do because you physically need the phone. Hmmmm.

Maybe a useful topic: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1642444
There is an app which you install (from play store) as long as your phone is not wiped, and it will start feeding location. I'm afraid I can't remember what's it called, but some googling should help you find it.
Edit. App is called Plan B.

Call your carrier and maybe the police
.215 radio - SimplexROM 1.2 - Daily Driver - XT912 - Wigdetsoid - Linux Installer - Otter Box - Safestrap
I have used the App called Plan B, and it works. But after you get the info you need I would call your carrier, They should blacklist the ESN so the dirtbag who took your phone can't use it.
Really sorry to hear your phone got stolen but as so many users said, there are many apps that can solve your issue. But you should contact the police if you have his number. What phone will be its replacement?

Tested on wife's Sprint Evo 3d running Android 4.0 and it seemed to work well enough. Seems to crash my Sprint Evo Shift running JellyBelly-Omega rom after about 15-20 seconds. Of course my camera has been kind of buggy ever since I dunked it in the toilet. Maybe not the best test case.
Add: Option to delete saved videos in the Facebook app.
Keep up the good work!

yeah maybe it is the toilet maybe the custom rom, we have tested only on stock devices so far.
Delete option goes in our checklist!
We're quite ready to release an update, stay tuned
