Wiping efs/radio partitions

With other phones I had, there were scripts to wipe the eds/radio/GPS partitions in between roms and it made sure that you would not have data problems and it kept everything fast. Has anyone or could anyone make us one?

OMG go figure. Literally hours after posting this my data is now busted. Wifi works mobile only works intermittently. With other phones this was almost ALWAYS fixed by wiping the aforementioned partitions. Is everyone just ignoring me or do we have so little dev left that no one in the know has seen the OP?

ROMs for this device don't flash the radio. If you zeroed out the radio you F'd up your phone something good. Nobody has figured out how to reflash the radio on this device. Also, we never touch EFS. That is a big no-no and another way to F'up your phone. Sounds like you nuked it something good.

I have the same thing, where it is not showing my phone number in the about phone. I also have to reset the radio at-least once a day to get data back. (Go to airplane mode and back) The cell works fine though... Weird, never had this problem with original GB rom. There must be another cache partition that needs clearing?

that, I have no idea but my girl had data problem for 2wks now and no rep seemed to know the answer.. I had 3 replacement phones for her and nothing, 2 new sim cards nothing.. My last option of my own was to change number, and guess what.. It works now. By the way, problem was data would stop, browser would redirect me to web2go and say I have no data plan and 1.99 charge to continue. just a reboot would fix it but its a hassle. Well, changing numbers helped.. Something deffinetly went wrong with that other line or something.

Carrier Billing For T-mobile USA Disappears then Reappears

For as long as T-mobile has allowed it, I've always had issues with it randomly disappearing then appearing regardless of what I do. Just to confirm modifying wasn't the cause, I completely restored my device to its out-of-box state to no avail. I've cleared the cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, installed different versions of the market, etc but still nothing
Then one day out of the blue, there it was. The very next day, gone. Not sure if this has been address before, and it's not a major issue, it simply annoys the hell out of me not knowing the cause! Anybody know why?
HTC Sensation

Very annoying!

Now as far as I know this happens if the app you are trying to purchase has to be paid to an account outside of the USA, but it seems like you were trying to purchase 4ext which I was easily able to pay with tmobile account

Exactly. That just adds to my frustration.

Am I the only one who experienced this?

URL associations with apps removed from ALL thunderbolt, possibly all HTC phones soon

This is a widespread issue among thunderbolt users, but I haven't seen a thread here yet.
I haven't accepted the OTA update from earlier this week, but last night my phone booted with what I assume was a update. Now, any URL can only be directed to the Web browser, not an individual app (for example, Google play links link to the play website, not the app. Same with youtube links). There's not too much out there about it, but from what I've seen, this is due to a new patent lawsuit from apple directed at HTC. Apparently HTC laid down and just removed the function. This is terrible and pretty much ruins the phones functionality.
As of right now the only work around I've heard of is custom roms. Personally I don't have that option as this is a corporate phone. Has anyone heard anything or does anyone have any ideas for a work around? I imagine what would work would be a fake "browser" that you would set as the default and just would reroute to apps, but I certainly don't have the developing know-how to make such a thing.

With the HTC One series, there's a new "App Associations" menu that allows you to assign what apps will be used for various link types... is there no equivalent in the new OTA update for the Thunderbolt?

After the update there is that setting in the applications menu under settings
Sent from my HTC Mecha using XDA

This is frustrating.
I updated to the software update and regret it to the fullest extent. Now NO videos of Youtube open in the app. This is a headache.
There is a new "apps association" menu in settings now, under Applications menu. But there is NO option to set YOUTUBE as a default like it used to be with ease.
Anybody here have a way around this??
What I found is using Opera Mini helps this by making it one less step to open videos in the app. But still miss the old direct way.
Help people!!

This is due to the patent judgment against HTC by Apple. The same judgment that recently delayed the release of the One X and the EVO 4G LTE. This feature will be removed in all future HTC releases.

I went with browser swap, but that doesn't really help with YouTube links. Maybe someone will stand up and code an app?

You can't. Apple patented the tech, all they will do is go after a new developer of such an app. Your best bet is to root, run titanium backup, and flash a custom rom that is based on an older Thunderbolt ROM if you want the feature back.

Unlocked, yes. Able to be rooted without an exploit, yes. With root enabled, no. I no longer log in on a admin account on my laptop for security reasons. The "default"use account should not have root

That's not exactly some HTC key/core feature. It's in every Android phone and part of the Android source itself. Even the Galaxy Nexus does it. It's not even a phone specific feature. PCs have done it for years using file://some-local-filesystem-point and using sockets to link apps to other apps. That's all Android does pretty much. Since everyone should be rooted on here (the thunderbolt is painful if you don't), it doesn't affect anyone.
Also I see no source links in your post. Means nothing if you can't link to something verifiable.

Nope I haven't. It seems like it went missing after i updated to ICS which was not too long ago when i finally updated. Really odd...my wife has the HTC Vivid and she is running ICS and she still has that option available.

I know its working for me now. You might have to update the play store (current version is 3.9.16)
You can usually force it by clearing data and cache for the play store, or you can search xda for the apk and manually install it.

Yes i currently have this going on. I too have called att and google and they both said to call the other. I've tried a factory reset twice, cleared all google data and edited my build.prop a few times and nothing. I have also tried different versions of the play store as well. Its frustrating as hell. When i want to use carrier billing instead of a credit card i have to take my sim card out of my a2 and put it in my old infuse and it works fine. I'm going into my local att store this week sometime and getting a new sim card. Hopefully that will work but i highly doubt it.

I'm having the same issue. I couldn't even tell you when it started, but it was before I upgraded to ics. I don't do the credit card thing and carrier billing is very convenient. Wonder if it's a Motorola issue...

Well the same thing happened on my xperia ion also..i had a samsung galaxy skyrocket and I didn't lose my option on that phone. So it worked on my skyrocket and didn't on my ion and now not on my atrix 2. My wife has the htc vivid and she still has that option.

Happened to me, after scripting from ICS 1st leak, back to GB 2.3.5, then OTA to 2.3.6. Had Titanium BU tell me my phones id number had changed and asked if I wanted the new one or the old one, selected old one, but, I don't have that option anymore for bill to phone.

Not sending or receiving SMS/MMS and data

I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

I will take it to them and try to get a replacement or a different phone. I got my first one within the 30 day return period but I have had my current phone for about two months. I also forgot to mention that if I throw it against the wall or smack it against my hand, the message will usually go through. Now, I don't usually go throwing my electronics around haha. I only did this after it started happening and that always seemed to make it work.
