Hi all, been reading these forums for a while now but I finally decided to join the ranks as I have a problem with my Note that is driving me mad!
Recently bought my first tablet (grey note from eBay, it seems to be a german unit previously bought from expansys)
I help to run 2 eBay shops so need to list, relist, edit etc so the eBay app is not good enough - the problem I'm having is that the fact that I cant get flash player to install and run flash means the upload photo page will not display. This is a game changer for me and I may have to sell the note if I can't get around this problem - I have searched around and no-one else has reported this problem which surprises me as its a major issue for anyone who regularly uses eBay. What are my options at this stage? Wait till html 5 is rolled out? Root my device and install some Rom that will run the web as its supposed to be? I don't need all the apps and stuff that everyone is excited about, just the true web on a big screen - that's portable..!
Have you tried manually installing the flash 11.1 apk such as: http://digiex.net/downloads/downloa...-11-1-android-download-apk-11-1-102-59-a.html
Keep in mind flash will not work for chrome browser but manually installing the apk allowed flash to work properly in stock browser. Give it a shot.

Thanks for quick reply - yes I have tried your link thanks, also older versions of flash, 5 different browsers and made sure all settings are as they should be....this is why I'm tearing my hair out now. Have you tried posting an ad on eBay yourself to see my problem? Is there a way I can test I have flash working properly on my tablet?
Cheers

Hey, the only version of flash that actually worked on my Note 10.1 (stock 4.0.4) is the one attached below. All other versions I tried seemed to install ok, but the browser would always display that plugin icon on the places where flash was supposed to show.

Not familiar with your MMS issue.
For the SDHC card, search the forum, I know there have been issues with certain brands not being recognized.
I remember seeing a thread about it but don't remember where it was.
thanks for the reply, I will check around also, is trying to view youtube videos has become a problem. I can't view them even though i have installed flash player 7. any suggestions?

Skyfire has youtube streaming, or official youtube app...
opera + flash lite isn't the best solution
i really appreciate the advice i will download skyfire tonight and see how that works out, thanks again for all the advice. I will touch back and let everyone know how it worked 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

- You can make any update in the future, cooked ROM´s from XDA are much better than any "official" version
- It should work

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.

HI can anyone tell me where to get new skype from 2.07 rom ???
thanks in advance.
You won't find anyone with it here. The best solution is to simply flash to a ROM that has it.
I have so much data on phone can't backup all of it so dont wana change rom for time being........
Im not sure where to grab the version of swype that has been extracted from the 2.07 rom... i am trying to find it myself!
The swype cab created from the version ripped from the Samsung Omnia 2 is all over the web though... google should bring up a couple of places to download it from.
Does anyone know of any differences between the two versions?

You will have to search in the underground... Extracting the software and offering it as a cab is clearly not wanted by the creators and owners of the software. Offering links to warez is completely against xda rules.
The difference between the 2 might be some more language support, and that the HD2 version was made for HD2, as simple as that. I think it still might be an option to flash a ROM which carries it on board - or, at least, as long as this is tolerated.
Maybe in the close future, HTC will bring another ROM update which offers this great piece of software. Or, as stated otherwise, Swype might decide to make a retail offer at some time. If they do at a decent price, I believe they could do great business - as seen with other products, at unreasonably high prices, you won´t sell big, but at fair pricing, you can succeed.
I cannot find the new version anywhere!
If anyone has a link or would like to email it to me that would be very much appreciated!!

I had the same thing, only installed yesterday so didn't do much checking of the phone. Quite a few problem were caused by the T-Mobile version . Data connection is screwed and all email passwords needed to be reset and my Wifi password are also gone lol. Did some reading online as well and quite a few other people have experienced the same problems, some have even had to HARD RESET to get their phones working correctly, fortunetly for me just uninstalling the CAB and giving the phone a few minutes resolved my Data connection issues , will put back on the Omnia version and leave it at that for the time being.
So I advice using the newest version of Swype with EXTREME caution!!!!
I tried it after much hesitation... Had to do a new setup for all email accounts, data connection and wifi connection. But it seems to be fine now, I'll see in a few days if it stays like that.
I'm using SWYPE WVGA 3.9.10.10.5032 on my HD2 without any problems.

Had the same, but all I had to do was re-enter the passwords (and mail servers for gmail) and re-run the connection setup wizard. Now I'm fine and dandy and the software is nothing short of awesome... Supports Italian, German, French, English and Spanish; I tested all languages and it works fine
I'd say it is a crucial addition to the HD2, as I use it every day, and it makes my text input much less of a chore. It is particularly useful because of its multi-language support. I've never had any problems like those described, thankfully.
have you guys done any soft resets since the initial reset after installation? I also found the keyboard became slow to start after I played with the setting. the omnia 2 version is working better for me and with the htc skin looks awesome.

I can't believe no one else posted this...
If you overwrite the ModelID with the file provided, you are effectively telling your phone that you are now....a...tmobile hd2.
The swype keyboard has protection in it...only a tmobile hd2 will work with it.
hence why you need the modelid
now here is the kicker...
Say sprint - you run sprint tv. get an error. wanna know why? sprint asks "what phone" and your phone replies "tmobilehd2.
Same thing with prl updates...
I think you get the point...
when you overwrite the modelid, all exchange accounts - gone (sorta). Your 4 digit pin become a lockout - no pin will unlock it.
in short, bad things happen.
And this is why you always provision your phone before you set it up. part of provisioning is setting the modelid...
which is why people on mighty that forgot to provision before seting up exchange need that fix e-mails cab...
any questions?

@leepriestenator, if I don't use any provider software, I can install swype without any problem right ?
leepriestenator is correct. Thanks. As our phones are all unlock where we are, the problem is just resetting the mobile provider. It is working fine on my phone, though the phone identity is now T-mobile_Leo.
Having said that, it is a much improved version over the one in Samsung.
Hey Guys,
could anyone with AppMonster or so please back up the newest (1.8.1) FREE (else I wouldn´t even ask of course!) version of Netflix?
Reason I can´t pull it from Market/Play is because my Nexus isn´t rooted - and I really don´t wanna root it just for this one stupid geo-****ed app!- and I cannot for the life of my find ANY reliable source for an APK on the net that doesn´t just redirect me to Google Play...
... which won´t let me download Netflix because my device is registered in Germany >_<
I have Netflix up and running on my PC and want to install it on my phone so I can watch it while I´m on vacation next week (got WiFi in the hotel, but not taking my Laptop with me)... and just so it WORKS.
Would be great,thanks in advance, I really hope someone can spare a couple of minutes!
not really exactly what I wanted/needed, but the (modded) apk here for v1.8.0 for the Galaxy Note works for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546053
but I´d still really love a 1.8.1, unmodded, stock APK of the Netflix App (compatible with the Nexus)... I also think it would be better kept here than in the Galaxy Note subforum
yeah, i'm having exactly the same problem.
any success so far in finding an netflix 1.8.1 apk from an reliable source?

I have an older Nook Color running CyanogenMod. My previous workaround for Netflix stopped working. I googled and found this. And this works perfectly! Thanks so much for leaving or possibly even forgetting that apk in your drop box, I'm super pleased to be able to watch Netflix on tablet again.
Trying to download a APK for my phone for polar beat but they are still thinking they are nike and blocking out almost all phones, the download sites I used to use now all forward thru to the play store where I get the incompatable device error. Anybody have one that I can use? Maybe a old one from a old install that way you wont be effected by me using it? The version ive been running is full of bugs and the new one is supposed to fix the connection issues I have.
Thanks.. And btw if someone just wants to download the APK for me and email it to me that would be great too
tried this yet?
