Sense 3.6 Locations Problem - HTC Desire S

First sorry about my bad english. I installed ICE DS v5 sense 3.6. When I try to enter locations it says files are old or missing and when I try to download it says "can't connecting to server" again and again. What can I do?

Stop using location and use Google navigation? I find it much better

Normally I use google but I like location widget and I want to know why is this doing this

I can't answer 'Why', but I don't think that my HTC locations has ever worked since the first day I installed a custom ROM (over a year ago). To be honest, take Ben's advice. Google Maps puts everything else in the shade - and it's free. I haven't yet seen a paid app that can match it.

For me locations have worked on custom roms and the latest HTC but have stopped with this ICE DS v5.0. I have just uninstalled locations to free up ROM space and use Googles Maps.

Mine work too since ICE DS v5. I think there is nothing to do so I can remove it. Thank you for replies guys

A couple questions

I hope these don't come off too n00b-ish, I'm not new to Android nor to rooting phones. I had an Evo and was on Sprint when I realized that...hey, Sprint's service sucks, so I came back to Ma Bell since they finally got an Android device worth buying (no offense to others, but the Aria is way too small)
Anyway, my first question is do any of these ROMs up right now have sideloading capabilities yet?
Second, coming off of the Evo I had Sense 1.0 and it automatically linked my contact card to my Facebook through Facebook for Sense, but Sense 2.0 doesn't do that, is there a way to link my picture/contact card to Facebook?
Third, speaking of which, anyone else have problems with the Facebook App? It doesn't show my picture on my profile and half of the time doesn't load a lot of user pictures.
And last, HTC released Swype for the Evo, is there any plans of the I4G/DHD getting the keyboard too? I mainly use Better Keyboard but liked having Swype at times.
No one can answer these?
To my knowledge, every Rom here has sideloading enabled.
I only ran Sense for a few hours so I can't answer that. Sorry lol.
Facebook works fine for me.
Once you have sideloading enabled, search Google for the swype beta and install it. Bam.

You people and your damn AOSP. lol. Thanks for response, not sure what is wrong with my Facebook, it did come pre-installed, once I get rooted I may just need to reinstall it from the marketplace and it should work.
The facebook app that came preinstalled on my I4G wouldn't show my or some other pics either so I gotta say that it has to do with something that the stock rom had. I'm on CM7 right now but I remember that I was able to automatically see my pic anywhere that the stock sense apps had an entry for the owner's pic, like the messages app, contacts, etc.

Locations Maps: where they are stored in the device?

Hello!
Does anyone know where the maps of Locations are stored in the device, in our HTC Desire S?
Every time I flash a new ROM, I have to redownload the maps.
I would guess:
/sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/
If not it should be here:
/data/data/com.google.android.apps.maps/

No, that is where the google maps data is...
The HTC Locations maps are stored in sdcard\.data\navigator\Data\Maps
They get erased out everytime you wipe data, and thats why you have to redownload them. Take a backup and then restore after flashing a new ROM. Should work without a problem.
Just check it out and let me know if you think i'm wrong.
Hope this Helps.

Thanks, I found them at that location.
I noticed that, each time I change (or upgrade) the ROM, I have to download again the maps despite that the sdcard content should remain untouched.
Let's try an experiment!

Same here.
The folders with "." prefix are susceptible to ROM manipulation and the best known example is .android_secure, which gets wiped everytime you flash a new ROM. Even when you backup your ROM, you'll notice that one of the last steps is "backing up .android_secure" which is actually located on the SD card!
So i'm pretty sure when the ROM is setting up the new data, it does so in the .data folder (which gets wiped during a new ROM flash) where our maps are stored.
So i guess next time we flash a ROM we should go into that folder and see if the maps have been deleted before downloading them again.
If they are indeed gone, lets restore from our backup (on pc) and see if it works.
I'll keep you posted on this thread and vice versa and see if this theory works.
Deal?
EDIT: Read above again. Did some more thinking...
OK!
Anyway, I think I will make a backup copy of the directory maps.

I dont really use it because i use Sygic Aura for navigation, but i like to have the maps just for the sake of that "Completeness" feeling. Do i hear OCD ?

Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. The preoccupation to have everything set up exactly the same way all the time... Google it.

P.S. It was just a joke. I'm perfectly normal. (Just that the wife disagrees!)
hahaha!
I thought it was something technical!
I use google every minute!
OCD = Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. i.e. all you homescreen icons HAVE to match your theme or the world just aint right.
I'd not worry too much about the Google Maps caching issue. Any time now Nokia (who have climbed into bed with Windows Mobile) are going to start releasing their new devices. Nokia are bringing their Ovi Maps to the party. I had this on my Nokia 5800 a couple of years ago and it is very good. All off-line navigation for free.
Google (if they have any sense) are just waiting for this to launch, then they'll flip a switch which lets Google Maps data stay on your phone. Take that Nokia!
Heard rumour about this on engadget months ago. Would make perfect sense for them to time it to spoil Nokia's party. Can't have the competition start trumping your famous Navigation software!

If you flash different rom versions you will have to redownload your maps. I.E 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 and vice versa.
If you talk about android versions there is no problem. I was coming from another 2.3.5 Android ROM.

I have to disagree.
Even though i havent changed my Android version for a long time now (I've been on 2.3.5 for the last 7-8 ROMs i've flashed) i still have to download the maps everytime i flash a new ROM (clean install, not upgrade).
I'm sure that's also the case with fbcyborg. Right?
It's not just a matter of changing Android versions.... every data wipe causes you to lose maps.
With every single clean install (with full wipe) you will lose the maps, no matter what android or sense version you flash, be it same or different...
So backup the contents of the folder i mentioned in my previous post and restore after flashing a new ROM. That's the only solution.

Yes! That's just what I meant in my previous post. As far as I can understand, the full wipe, cleans both /data and /sdcard/.data.

Hey, fbcyborg, my theory regarding maps storage was correct!!
Just tested it out when upgrading a ROM.
After setting up, i downloaded locations and then it warned me there were no maps available and asked me to download. Instead of doing that, i put the phone in usb drive mode and went to the navigator folder in .data and there were no maps in the maps folder.
So i copy pasted the map i had backed up from the same folder previously, and viola!! Locations working flawlessly!!
Hope this saves you downloading 1.4 Gigs of maps everytime from now on!!

"ID Studio Room" as Location on every Reminder since Sense 3.0 OTA

The Title sais it all. When I get a reminder on the lockscreen of sense 3.0 the location is always "ID Studio Room" - at least if I didn't set a location.
Anyone else got this? any solutions?
Yes, it happens also to me. I would like to know why.
same here, using Desire S.
Fortunately this location? is not synchroed to my outlook (using MyPhoneExplorer, not HTC Sync)
strange...
I have this bug too. I get this error also if i set a location in my gmail calendar.
I've been suffering from this damn thing since upgrading to ARHD 6.1.1. It still occurs in 6.1.3.
My two complaints are the ID Studio Room location for every damn event -AND- the "dismiss" calendar events no the lock screen ALWAYS goes to the damn event detail screen.
A fix would be most helpful.
FYI: I'm using an Inspire 4G (Desire HD rebranded). So, yeah.
I have just seen that even if the location has been set, the ID Studio Room message still appears. So, I don't think it only appears if a location is not set.

update: problem still exists. i updated MyPhoneExplorer to version 1.8.2, and also did the sync with HTC Sync new version. same result..
by the way MyPhoneExplorer is awesome, new version provides live view (remote control) of your phone on your PC!
Had my first reminder this morning and got this annoying glitch as well.
Using Stock O2 - Android 2.3.5, Sense 3.0
Any news on this??
so.... we are the only ones in this forum with this bug? I still haven't found any solution..
More simply people get rid of that.
I have been having this issue since the update too, nothing dramatic but a bit annoying
Bug confirmed on device which was updated to 20.1.401.8 using RUU (rather than OTA update)
Also present on calendar entries created on device rather than imported - So external software doesn't seem to be responsible.
Slightly annoying! Hope they'll fix this is the next patch which repairs the patch which fixed the bugs etc etc etc
I've had this same issue. It confused the heck out of me when a reminder went off early one morning and all I saw was "ID Studio Room" and I thought it was a text message from my wife about leaving her ID in our studio.
I'm using an HTC Inspire 4G with Android Revolution HD. Didn't start until I flashed that ROM from stock.
I also didn't do a complete wipe of my SD card when I flashed it. Maybe this could cause the issue? (probably not)
Does anybody else have this issue and also didn't do a clean wipe?
I've made a full wipe many times, and this didn't solve the problem. A SD card wipe doesn't have anything to do with it as well.

The issue relates to dev/leaked ROMs for other devices being used for our devices as bases.
My phone, the Inspire 4G, had this problem with every ROM based on Pyramid and above. However, I'm using a ROM based off of the latest update from the stock ROM. It has NO defects like this. Try a ROM based off of your stock ROM.
I've recently switched to Endymion ROM and I see that "ID Studio Room" doesn't appear anymore. Now the location appears in place of it.
I think that this issue is related to the HTC Sense. Is it possible? Or does it happen also to people without HTC Sense?
Now I have HTC Sense 3.5, and the problem was present when I was using the version 3.0.

While I do not know its direct relation to Sense, I am positive that it has to do with with which dev build of leaked HTC test ROM's were in use. A large number of dev builds have minor errors like that.
This indeed was the case. If you get a ROM using something officially for your device, or at least based on a final product with a device comparable to your own, you're less prone to such annoying bugs.
Yes, maybe you are right actually. In truth I don't know if the build I am using is coming from an official release. Anyway it would probably depend on the build rather then the Sense version.

I am using the official build and the bug is there, so don't worry it's probably HTC's fault

Loving the new ICS from Android Revolution 6.0.2

I just wanna share my experience of using the Android Revolution HD™ 6.0.2...
so far so good although at first when i flash the rom i was stuck at the bootloader because i thought the firmware can be flashed but it turn out that when you had already flash the rom you will have to go to hboot screen to update the firmware package but all in all i am very statisfied with this rom....
things that i liked-
-battery performance lasted a couple more hours longer... maybe because i flash the radio as well but i did see a little bit of difference..
-faster startup
-very user friendly interface
-so far after 5 days my phone had never crash even once
things that i dont like-
-i cant seem to open premium navigation for in htc locations after validating my licences... it always says htc location is stopping....
however i can use google location.... so for me this is good enough but if anyone has any solution do share it with me.... thx
Any random reboots or shutdowns?
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
Nice to know there are people satisfied as well. I see lots of trouble around, mostly with the new firmware/hboot.
I'll wait for the stable version though.
so far no random reboots or shutdown... yea people are having trouble with new firmware but once you start using ics its totally worth it your long hours of reading...
How easy for the firmware update? Did you have to change that text file within a zip?
the firmware update when i downloaded it was already in zip format... so i just place it in my sd card... so when you enter hboot screen it will automatically update...
Just had a random reboot using camera.
Gallery is very buggy as well as ringtones
hmm... did not occur in my sensation... probably u should try superswipe again... update firmware again... and flash boot...N try updating the radio as well.... gd luck... so far so good for me.. on my sixth day and rocking..

Q 2: My Premium Navigation doesn't work correctly. What should I do?
A: Your Premium Navigation may not work correctly for many reasons. Most of them are not ROM related. You can try the following things:
- reinstall your Locations under "Settings" ---> "Locations"
- remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card
- re-download Google Maps from the Android Market
- clear data from Google Maps in system software management

I'm actually really tempted to switch from 3.6.x to the ICS version. But I think I can wait a bit longer. Read in another thread that HTC's going to release their ICS in a couple of weeks.
Been using ARHD for a couple of months now and overall I am happy but now I am thinking of making the move to the ICS version of the rom and was wandering what the main benefits/difference are
With Sense? Sense is pretty much senseless with all the functionality of ICS. ICS core is about 120 MB and the sense ROMS are close to 400MB imagine how much faster your phone would run without Sense. Also any issues with contact merge?
Luv'n ICS and I'm on Virtuous 2.0.1 Senseless!
what you mean by "remove /sdcard/.data/navigator/Data/Temporary from your SD card".... should i delete this folder (temporary folder in data)...
"re-download Google Maps from the Android Market" i have search in android market there is no google maps app in there.... in the market it only has only "a google map navigation book"....
N wat do you mean by "clear data from Google Maps in system software management".... sorry i am not that clever.... thx in advance
I have the same problem too...
Still can not figure how to solve this....
Maybe i just go back to ARHD 3.6.12 until the ICS more stable...
Been using ARHD 6.0.2 for the whole weekend, and i must say that i'm loving it, just had one FC on whatsapp, other thant that is great. I have been all day long updating my spotify playlist in wifi and still remains more than 15% of the battery. Great job with the rom

I quote myself because i found something annoying, not serious, but was wondering if someone else had noticed it. It affects the power button, sometimes it does not work, i mean, if the phone is swithced off, when i press the button, nothing happens if i don't remove the battery and place it again. It also happens trying to wake the phone.
Maybe it has something to do with the Fastboot option?
Thanks again
i still havent manage to get my premium navigation to work... htc location map is working fine... what i mean is that if i open the normal htc map using the location it can open but when i change to driving mode it crashes... anyway manage to get papago to work for me after tweaking and playing with the resolution settings and the app called spare parts... anyway if anyone find any more solutions regarding htc location fix do tell me.. have tried tons of ways but still it keeps on crashing... amazingly the other features of my phone is working superbly fine... not even a single crash for more than one week... only once i have to reboot my phone when it could not connect to wifi after 3-4 days.... Not perfect but way better than gingerbread...

[Q] SKY GO App - anyone with root have it working?

Hello, This post is intended for users where the following list of conditions below are true, although I'm obviously more than happy for any others to put in any input....
You own a Desire S
You live in the UK
You have a SKY TV subscription (or the house you live in does)
You have a SKY ID user login and have registered your device to access SKY Go
You have installed the SKY GO applicaton
Your device is rooted
You are running a GB based ROM (ie not ICS)
SKY have written then application so that it won't work on rooted devices, even though some people on other devices have managed to bypass this. Some users have had success in using the application OTA RootKeeper which backs up and then hides a devices root (su) - which out of interest will permit rooted users from successfully using Google Play (aka The market) for downloading and watching movies.
No matter what I do now, use the hide root (su) app which works fine, clear the data from SKY Go, de-install it and then re-install the app, when I put in my SKY ID credential I always get the following erorr "PIN Error You have entered an incorrect PIN" (see attachment for screen shot) even though there is no PIN to enter as part of the setup (its not related to my SKY box PIN as that is working fine and I've configured SKY Go to not require any age restrictions)
I would really love to resolve this as want to be able to watch Football from my wonderful device when I'm away from home, and I can't even consider returning my phone to stock in case anyone suggests that.
This application annoyingly hasn't yet been updated by SKY to function on any ICS ROMs.
This is the official link to the SKY Go App thread but is is multi device and therefore in excess of 50 pages with greater than 1500 posts mostly of people saying doesn't work on my device...so I thought I would trap up my local resources (eg you).
[APP] Sky Go for Android (UK ONLY)
As always many thanks to anyone that's even read this far , let alone who bothers to add anything....Cheers
Much as I'd love to help you mate, I'm kinda stuck. It turns out that you can only use Sky Go if you re a direct Sky customer - no use to me as I subscribe through my Virgin Media package. Bit peed-off at that discovery to be fair.
The app fires up OK on my Desire, but I obviously can't sign in. I'm going to chat to a mate of mine about 'borrowing' his Sky details so I can test it on my phone and I'll let you know if I get anywhere with it.

That would be much appreciated. When I first downloaded the Sky Go app I was able to log into it ok, but I was unable to access the channels through it (as the device was rooted).
At that point I had an entry in the Settings-> Accounts & Sync for Sky Go
If I now attempt to add the sky go account through settings add account, when logging in with the correct credentials (that work on the sky website) I also get the same PIN error as shown in the attached screen shot on post #1
it seems that since I've un-installing and re-installing the app (or it may have been auto updated by the market) I can't seem to get that account back as I get the PIN error on entering my sky credentials now, even though previously they went into the app without any issues.
Let me know if you get hold of your mates SKY details and that would assist greatly, this may be a non-starter but would appreciate at least one other person trying!
Thanks

Errhhgg!! bloody iBollox, unfortunately I know it works on that pile of ####...thanks all the same though.
For some stupid reason SKY have had an iPhone application for years and have only just realised that the majority of the world actually uses Android so have finally released a poor quality Android based application (which doesn't even work on ICS showing their real level of commitment and the degree in which they're taking Android seriously!)
My selfish prime concern - is all about rooted GB though, much appreciated that you're willing to try to give it a go though....Much Thanks

Ok, sorry for the late reply!
Believe me, it wasn't my choice on the iPad
I'm already frustrated with the lack of homescreen customization on it! And lack of utility apps (widgets, shortcuts etc)
Ok, didn't get a chance to try it on the Sky Go app, I can't find the bloody ID stuff, so instead I downloaded Google Movies.
This app requires you to NOT be rooted.
I ran the app first, and it came up saying I couldn't use it, as I was rooted...
Then I ran the app you said, and 'disabled' root. Then I ran Google movies, and it is working now! It's detected my device as unrooted! I didn't even reboot after 'disabling' or close the Movie app!
So, the app definetly works... But I couldn't test it on Sky GO, only Google Movies. But the sane theory should apply right? Maybe you could try it on Google movies? Then we can See whether it May just be sky Go not detecting.
Hope that is of some help!

Some screenshots if it helps!
1) I first ran play movies app
2) I used the app to 'unroot/disable root' the device
3) I ran Google play movies, and it worked!
Appreciate the effort Oly,
Unfortunately I'd already tried the un rooting and google market
Was just the sky id and sky go bit that I needed verifying
From home using your sky box which will show your viewing card number and other details that along with some personal stuff like name and address should enable you to get a sky id setup
In order to test sky go or no go as it's been for me
No hurry, thanks all the same

I don't get the pin error so can't help with that.
I can open the app and view channels but they just buffer at 0% forever. With the exception of sky new which restarts the app.
I tried flashing a pre rooted stock rom and hiding root using voodoo and I was able to watch sky news but premium channels still didn't work. From reading the thread in the android application and games folder it looks like you need to edit the default.prop within the kernel as well as hide root.
I don't have a clue how to do this but I'm going to give it a go when I get time later! Hopefully we can get it working I'm surprised more people aren't working on this as it has the potential to be one of the best android apps out there

I know what you mean mate but for Sky Sports on my my phone I think I can live with it!
I have attached the modified boot.img if you want to try it I can confirm it is working for me using Hyperion V2.1 with the boot.img modified and root hidden using voodoo
Well that's well worth it, brilliant work.....THANKS
If only I hadn't recently deleted my old backup of that ROM, I suspect one may still be on my PC
I wonder how it checks to see if we're on stock? Did you see if it works on stock sense v3.0?
Is it worth editing the build.prop file and replacing values, in an attempt to fool it further? without having to switch bases?
When I get an opportunity (probably the weekend) I'll try that.

I used Hyperion v2.1 and changed so.secure to 1 within the default.prop in the kernel.
Great Rom on its own anyway think i'll just stick with this until another solution is found.
Here is a link to download it from my dropbox. http://db.tt/VISCrZ2y
Let me know if you managed to get it to work on Endy!
Just hide root BEFORE you install the sky go app and it should work fine.
I am using CM9 but still cant get this to work I have tried hiding root and using the modded skygo but still no luck. really do not want to go back to stock rom.
I am guessing nobody has had any more joy with this?
