I wanna preface this by saying while I'm sure I'm not the first one to have had this problem, I've searched Google as well as XDA and I can't seem to find anyone.
tel: links, as well as any other links that want to open an application, such as signing in to catch.com to open AK Notepad, won't open. They instead open the "Webpage not available" page.
I'm using an HTC Sensation 4g. I've tried a couple different browsers, and a couple different ROMs. I've also tried accessing the links over wifi and over the mobile network. At the moment I'm using the stock browser on Android 4.0.3 with Sense 3.6. If you need any more information about the phone let me know.
And thanks in advance for any help.
I know this isn't much help, but I am having the same issue, using the same phone as you.
Currently I'm running Android Revolution HD 6.6.7. I have used several previous versions of this ROM, however, and only recently am I having this issue.
Well at least I know I'm not the only one. hopefully we can figure it out.

Hi,
I just purchased a new HTC Touch HD phone T8285.
I have realised that it has come pre-loaded with a lot of Telstra configuration. I am not a Telstra customer and I would like to start with a clean phone in the factory shipped state.
I am in Australia and currently have a contract through Virgin (Optus)
Can anyone advise how I can reset the phone configuration so that all reference to Telstra is removed and that the standard factory settings are in place for Australia.
Any help is appreciated
Scott
Hi, welcome to XDA! You would need to flash a chef's cooked rom (must have HardSpl 1st). Check out the Blackstone section of this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
Also, read the Sticky's!
How do I determine which one of these posts is relevant to my HTC Touch HD...?
When I search for this there are a lot of listings.....can you point me to one that might be specific for my device and location
Apologies as I am new at this....
Thanks
Scott

Scott, just click the http link in my above post and then do your search
Thanks for that I can see those instructions and will attempt to follow them...
A further question should I attempt to first use the following ROM upgrade link from HTC to see if it resolves my problem. Rather then using the previous reset instructions...
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
Or will this simple return me to the current state with the Telstra settings in place ?
Thanks

Hi,
Before I work use the post above to re-install the ROM on my HTC Touch HD....could I confirm the following...
- will the re-install of this mean that I will not be able to take updates to the ROM from HTC in the future
- will this process work for me as an Australia mobile phone user ?
- does the install include all the Windows Mobile operating system on the phone ready to use
Once again thanks for you help......I am new to this and want to make sure that I don't stuff the phone that have
Thanks
Scott

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work
- Yes
Social Web - Remove Telstra Wap Redirections ?
HI,
Dont know if anyone can help ... I have been searching the forums, but cant find this anywhere, so apologies if it is answered somewhere else.
I have a new HD2 with Telstra. I have managed to remove the locked quicklinks on the home page, and completed a few other incredible tweaks, but I just cannot seems to get the Social Web links to work when connected to WiFi - they will work when connected via Next G.
On WiFi, when I click on the Facebook icon for example, I get redirected to waprd.telstra.com/redirect?target=facebook-g ... and then nothing happens for about a minute. Just a white screen until I get a message saying "Could not connect to the remote server" . Yet, when I am connected via Next G I connect to Facebook immediately.
I have tried to find the xml code to change the URl, but I cannot find it anywhere.
Is anyone else having this problem, and if they did, was there a solution? Overall I am really happy with the phone (now that I seem to have spent about 3 days tweaking it!) and I would really like to get this fixed.
Thanks so much in advance.

hi sarah,
just wondering how did u get rid of the quicklinks off the the home screen, im not happy how they can not provide a phone in its original state!!any other important tweaks i should do when i purchase the phone??
waprd.telstra
I'm having the same issues any waprd.telstra sites will not work in a wifi enviroment. While I'm asking does anyone know hoe to changes the icons in the telstra "news and sport" or "social web" screens" ?
Hey Magic3091
Unfortunately most of those items are hard wired into the ROM. And the ROM is written to Telstra's specs. Hence the branding and all the BS
I suggest you try a new ROM to remove all of these. You'll have to do some reading to find out which is best for you.
I only just got my HD, and having seen how much Telstra stuff is there I WILL be ROMing it. I just need to figure out which one. If I rememder I will post which I choose.
Currently the MIRI rom looks like the best - new WinMob6.5 and Touch flo.

Ok, so I just got my Dell streak on O2 - first thing I did was install 2.1 on it.
when trying to sign into my googlemail account, it kept saying I had no connection (even though I was on wifi, and the browser worked on both streak and my mbp). After trying and try I decided to use the O2 sim that came with the phone (i was using my previous one still on iphone tarrif) and turned off wifi - this allowed me to sign into the market.
I found a handful of apps I wanted to download, but when I go to the download page, they all just say "starting download", the bars are animated but nothing is happening. I have tried this with both wifi on and off.
Is this a 2.1 issue?
I love the phone/tablet (phablet?) but not having access to the marketplace sucks! I also can't sync my contacts!
Help!
Also have the same problem with downloading apps from the "Market", but mine are on the Motorola Milestone, already preloaded with 2.1 ()Eclair. Simply won't let me download any apps, which is a minor problem I 1st had with my old HTC Wildfire, but automatically overcome. Help is greatly needed, thanks.
This is a 2.1/2.2 bug in the Market, which Google has to fix.
Try leaving it on "Downloading..." for a bit, it might start. Else you can try cancel-install a few times, that should get it going.
I thought they fixed this for 2.1, but they obviously didn't :/
Aight then, thanks, so it's basically a common Eclair/Froyo OS problem? Hopefully that'll all work then. Thanks
Would there be any other problems other than the OS that could prevent apps from being downloaded from the "Andorid Market"? Because I've tried the above steps and I'm gettin' nothing.
when the HELL will this be fixed...
i have 2 phones ACER stream and HTC Desire, both have the problem....
my desire was working fine.. but the acer was not, and i tried to play around with the my google account... Now i cant use MARKETPLACE on either one..!!!!

Have you looked at the logcat? Anything of interest in there? Maybe try posting this...
I pulled the Browser.apk from my stock hero with Sense UI. I then pushed it to /syste/app/Browser.apk while running cm6. everything went great until I tried to install. Get 'did not install' message. Is there a way to make this work? any help would be greatly appreciated
Anyone?? Anything??
thanks for the help!! this is a great community!!!
I don't know if it's even posible A while back I tried (and failed) to push the Htc music apk to my g1 running cyanogen mod; turns out, it just was not possible as it was. Someone later cracked the app and posted it here on XDA. Also maybe you should post why you want the htc browser on your phone as maybe someone can suggest an alternative.
We'll if you read it says hero.. and I'm running cm6.. It's all there.. I want the sense browser because I like it and it has flash that works, unlike many I've tried. Plus it has an option to load pages as full html Instead of mobile.
Why don't you use Skyfire? It can run flash and has the option of HTML (desktop) vs mobile and you can install it off the market for free. Let me know if I am missing something.
Before everyone sets there tablets on fire and goes postal on the ROM developers maybe take a look here. Seems lots of people are having Market problems and Google needs to fix it...

Thanks.....finally a voice of reason.
I figured it was a Google issue when my fiancé's Eris started having the same problem. Good to see someone posted this.
Errors
I have been getting errors lately when I open Market. Unable to connect to server error, I retry a couple times and it connects. I guess this is all part of the same problem Google is having?

I believe it is. Let's just hope they get things corrected soon (if they haven't already).
Market
Hi, I was having the same error today and now I just have a broken market with couple of apps available. How does it look on your tablets? Thanks.
Peter
Is this the same as not being able to find applications? I'm missing a ton of apps I'm able to see on my Samsung Epic, moreover, I don't seem to be able to receive updates for applications. I'm running CyanogenMod 6.1 with the GoogleApps patch on their site as per the HowTo on the Cyanogen wiki.
Ideas?
Correct, I cannot find my apps, I was just looking for logmein ignition, and today morning it was there and now it's gone.
Hi there, I noticed this app in my downloaded apps section in the system settings. Don't recall downloading it specifically and searched on google and here didnt turn anything up. Can anyone confirm if this is a legit app? Is it the HTC sync that is installed when installing drivers/adb (as part of the rooting process etc)? If thats it then fine, but wanted to check it out as it has access to a lot of information. The app is 1.21Mb in size, whenever I searched it online it only really brings up details about htc sync program for the PC or apk hosting sites which seem a bit dodgy.
Im rooted and s-off'd and running virtuous inquisition rom. Grateful if someone could provide clarification.
