Hi All,
I have an HTC One S which was running beautifully until I ran the T-Mobile 4.04 OTA update.
Unfortunately however the phonebook name lookup is now not working properly.
The situation is as follows:
•Some of my contacts are stored with the country code and some are without the country code (e.g. +61 420 757 585 for a friend in Australia)
•When a call/text comes in the name is only resolved if the format of the call/text number is an EXACT match to what's in the phonebook i.e.
◦When a call comes in there is no country code on the caller ID so only names WITHOUT a country code on the number appear on the screen
◦When a text comes in there is a country code on the caller ID so only names WITH a country code on the number appear on the screen
•This means that for each contact I only see their name in one of the two options below
This is causing me great confusion as I don't know who is calling/texting me.
Has anyone had this problem or can anyone offer a solution?
Thanks,
Andrew

No, I never found a solution. I installed other custom ROMs which solved the address book issues, however the T-Mobile 4.04 update has broken Wi-Fi on any ROM unless the T-Mobile one. So in other words I either had Wi-Fi or I had a working address book.
I ended up deciding Wi-Fi was more important (as I had a workaround for the address book) and am hoping that the T-Mobile 4.1 update fixes the problem.
thanks bro

Not sure. Allegedly it is in final testing now. I think we'll both just have to wait and see.

Morning all.
I have just seen another New SMS Function Update released on the HTC website: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=0&dl_id=812
Considering the last one ruined my SMS inbox (large text, too big to fit the screen) and led to me hard reseting my phone - is it worth installing this one? I am suffering with the annoying delay when I load sms messages from a contact with more that 15 messages.
Can anyone who installs this please post:
ROM NUMBER:
NETWORK:
PROBLEMS:
IMPROVEMENTS:
Thanks!
ROM NUMBER:1.43 WWE
NETWORK:Vodafone uk
PROBLEMS: stuck messages in out box
IMPROVEMENTS:seems to have fixed it but will update after a few hours
Before I installed update tried to send a few SMS and they stuck. The way I used to fix this was to send a blank sms to same recipient which pushed the stuck one out.
After install sent a few to mates in same office all of them received them straight away and I got delivery report straight away so fingers crossed they might have actually fixed it !!!
WTH is wrong with HTC...there is an SMS hotfix every week and it doesn't change a damn thing.
I have never had the SMS bug that I have read to much about. My HTC Messaging has always worked just fine. But for those who DO have that problem, it has to be very annoying to get an update every week that doesn't help.
Seems like HTC is a little clueless about this.
This is probably the SMS fix that they put into ROM 1.66 for those who want to keep a lower ROM on their phone?
i already got a cooked rom from miri which is based on 1.66 and i dont have any sms problems anymore so i dont need this hotfix
sms issue is gone now...
so everyone thinking of getting 1.66 rom, or already got it, then this hotfix is not needed.
but yeah, i wonder why htc made so many mistakes coding this app... i think this is called "insufficient testing prior public release"

The new ROM in the HTC UK site seems to have fixed my SMS problems. Version 1.66.405.2 WWE

Has it stopped the slow loading when there are lots of messages?
All my SMS issues have gone since upgrading to 1.66 including the slow loading.... about flippin time though.....
Thanks MartinT, Maidenhead and Shockwave!
I will try it out tonight and post my findings.
Does 1.66 remove the need for all the Hotfix updates available? Camera etc?
No as they're all in the new ROM - the hotfixes say what ROM is applicable for...
I've installed the ROM 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE but am still getting the large SMS text that will not fit the screen. Is there a work-around?
Some of us arn't able to use the 1.66 rom yet as Vodafone haven't pulled their fingers from up their asses yet so this hotfix has fixed my probs in sms's being stuck in outbox so no more need for me to put delivery reports on
Sorry my doubt...
HTC support have this:
Note: This update is only applicable to ROM versions less than 1.66.XXX.X.
So... my question is: my rom is 1.48 and I update before with one patch from HTC (another release date... is not now on support) and I'm confused if I do this new upgrade. HTC write (less than 1.66.XXX.X) but don't say why the old patch isn't there
Can anyone make a cab of this fix, so that I can try this on my Blackstone?
Can anyone tell what the latest build number of htc messaging is? I have (on my Blackstone aka touch hd) 1.5 build 2011.2130
I am a bit confused here. the main question still stands as IS IT WORTH UPGRADING THE LATEST 1.66.405.2 ROM?
What do you think?
I have stuck with the 148. and just added the latest sms hot fix and havent had a problem since, but funny enough, i received an email today from htc regarding me complaining about it last month and they sent me this
"To fix your sms issue if you download the latest ROM version which was released 25.01.2010 from our website then this will solve the sms issue. If you have a network branded phone then if you contact your network then they will give you a website you can go to and download the rom from"
but i dont feel i have to go to the 166. yet, as i am happy with my 148.
I havent heard of anything special from the 166 to make me want it yet!

Thanks, that's what I am going to do too. I haven't got 3 hours to waste in customisation of my hd2 after I hard reset it.
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.
Hi everyone;
I am having trouble and had no choice but to ask for advice as i cant seem to find the solution!
I bought an HD7 off ebay UK. The phone was originally on O2 but the seller unlocked and unbranded it and sent it to me without testing its features!
Now it wont make phone calls, wont send texts, wont load IE! When i click on Phone tile, it goes back to main screen!
I dont know the original ROM details but the seller updated it to NODO update:
v7.0.7390.0 with Radio Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U
I am on 3 network! It does go online using SurfCube browser. It does send a text to a number but it wont allow me to read the ones i recieve!
He says it was working fine with him. But not working on 3 network! I also tried the Virgin sim card he left in it and it wasnt working with it either!
Could anyone help me update it to a proper firmware that would work with 3 network? I dont mind having 3UK branded rom... as long as it works, i am fine but i prefer non branded... with copy paste function if possible...
Please help...
Thanks...
I'd have a look in the device forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=783
If you don't get a fix for it then you could always dispute the transaction through PayPal...
I did look through the developer page but because i am new to this i am not sure if i can just use any rom to change the firmware! And it is rather complicated!
The question is, since i have v7.0.7390.0 with Radio Radio_5.52.09.16_22.33a.50.10U
can i replace it with any rom or does it have to be compatible with the current rom?
Thanks...
there was a rom posted on wmpoweruser.com
I have seen all of these before. This is what happen when someone select the wrong language in the ChevronWP7 Updater (for example English International instead of English United States).
The only way to fix this is with a ROM flash.
Hello! I just got an unlocked at&t surround phone for christmas. I use simple mobile from t-mobile. The phone makes calls and sends texts but will not connect with the 3g internet or send MMS. I have already been through older posts here looking for an answer. everyone talks about an app in the marketplace called connection setup. I have seached the htc market place and the general marketplace and i cannot find it. Is there any other way? or am i possibly not looking in the right place?
Any help you can give me is welcome! if i cant fix the phone i will have to sell it and i dont want to I love it!

You won't be able to connect to 3G on that phone running T-Mobile. They use different 3g bands and it is hard coded into the hardware. As for mms you need to make sure your apn is correct
So it will only work with AT&T?

Custom ROM for HTC Mondrian (Surround)
I have tried using the custom ROMs by DFT and Ansar, but the Intrinsic ROM seems to be the best. It has 7.10.7740.16 version and Internet Sharing. TouchExplorer and Registry Editor work on it. I have only two issues - TouchExperience is throwing an unhandled exception error and i am not able to update to 7.10.8107.79 through Zune.
An update - i didn't want to continue using a ROM which doesn't allow updates, so i tried Ansar's RUU_Surround_Cingular_US_4.03.502.01_Radio_5.69.09.05a_22.50.50.21U_NT_Mango_7720 again.
Again, Zune did not show the 7740 and 8107 updates, but i was able to install them using WP7+Update+Cab+Sender.
So i finally have what i was looking for - an unlocked phone which can be upgraded to tha latest os version.
Almost ideal, except for one key ingredient missing - Internet Connection Sharing. I've tried DiagProvXMLv0.91_IS and it has resulted in the internet sharing option showing under Settings. However, i get an error msg 'Internet sharing isn't enabled yet' when i try to turn on the feature.
Hoping that Ansar will read this post and provide a solution soon!
I got a phone from Korea, LG Optimus LTE (LU6200). I think this phone was made only for korea, Although I was able to use it here in the Philippines on every network. My only problem on this phone is, Every SMS I receive will show "Anonymous" as the sender (no number or name) even though the phone number is saved on my contacts.
I tried using other sms app like Go SMS and Handcent, its still the same. No problem when people call me, their name will show or phone number. So all my text messages is pilled up under the name anonymous from different sender.
Has anyone has the same problem? do you have a fix?

Hi,
I have the same phone and also the same problem. I've been trying to find a fix for days now but I haven't found anything that works...
I kept trying different setting under *#*#4636#*#* regarding the network type under phone info but with no luck. can't seem to get the phone to save the smsc(service number) either. I can send text messages with no problem but all my received messages are from anonymous.
It's really annoying cause I love this phone so I'm hoping I'll find a fix sometime soon. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Oh yeah...forgot to say...I'm using it in Romania. everything else works just fine...

hey danny, If you have the same phone LG LU6200 Optimus LTE, SMS problem has been fixed, Anonymous being displayed to all received messages. All you need to do is to upgrade to Ice cream sandwhich.. The new updated fixes anonymous issue, also character limit when sending sms ( you have to use third party app, i use Go sms).. A lot has been improved from the update. The phone got nice Home screen too. I also like the phone, it's fast and slim.
go to dalelisyoso.blogspot.com just look for the article optimus lte ala ice cream sandwhich, you will find the link there.
the page is in Korean so you may need to use a page translator.. if you use google chrom it should ask you to tranlate it in english.
i hope this help.
just wanted to say thank you!!! I'm very grateful for your help!
you have a virtual beer from me!
I just managed to update it and it works like a charm! I'll try to root it, but for now I'll just leave it as it is cause I'm kinda new to the android world...but that's another story so...Thanks again! you're the best!
