Phone finder - HTC Pico (Explorer)

What's the use of phone finder (see screenshot) I have tied opening htcsense.com but they say it's only for htc one x+ and Butterfly . If my phones not supported then why there an option to turn it off and on in services ?

Don't know exactly about it but I think you should use 3rd party app for it like MobiUcare.
Just a suggestion.
Will You Encourage Me?

Yeh, it does some stuff with a private Youtube API that involves sending a hashed version of your IMEI to the server to verify your device for access.

would your method also work for homebrew apps that are not htc? like touchxplorer and advanced config (registry editor) for other devices?

Thank you, the unit converter is a nice app.
But what I'd really need is the HTC flashlight app. Any chance to make this possible in future?

Not really - the device uses the HTC Drivers to turn on the flash LED. However, davux has a perfectly-working cross-device flashlight app that turns on the LED using the extended media API, available from here.

Thank you for the clarification
I've already installed the app you've mentioned. It's working fine but still has the problem that the app is being "revoked" when the phone locks itself (when connected to Zune).
It just would have been nice to have a flashlight app that is still working when the phone relocks -I merely used the unlock to deploy my ringtones.

The sideloaded HTC app will still be revoked.

You need to prevent that your device locks itself. There are tools you can use, like this one.
By the way, if you're looking for other HTC apps for your Samsung, then you can try the HTC Hub and HTC Notes.

[Q] What does HTC Sense Sync actually do?

So what does HTC Sense Sync actually sync and where does it sync it to? I am on the 200mb plan so I am trying to watch my usage.
I created an account on the HTC Sense website but the only thing on there is the ability to find my phone.
Thanks

I'm kind of wondering that too, it sure seems to want to sync an awful lot.
I think one thing might be text messages. I got a new Inspire because I thought mine had a problem and texts received with the previous phone showed up in the messaging app after syncing.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
its a different type of UI it specializes in keeping you in sync with everything in your social world, it does sync a lot but you make it sync only when you want to
so, to clarify:
what does Sync HTC Hub do?
and
what does Sync HTC Sense do?

my question is what data exactly do these 2 options sync?

I've read them:
1. "HTC Sync is powerful software that lets you maximize the use of your Android-powered HTC phone." - not an answer to my question!
2. "HTC Hub is where you can check out weather forecasts, stock updates, and news. It's also the place to go to find out what free HTC apps you can download from Windows Marketplace. " - not an answer to my question! (news are a separate sync item in accounts&sync, as well as stocks and weather, so it leaves Windows Marketplace, yeah, that must be it ).
Also, he attacked me first for being lazy and then provided an answer he looked up for 5 seconds and obviously did not bother to read it first
htc sync is just ur contacts, mp3s, pictures u sync with the matching software on ur pc. the hub is just a useless place u can find a couple themes 9 backgrounds and a handful of widgets, its not updated ever lol. and getting it to sync with the htc software is a pain and has been for many people. best to avoid both imo

AFAIK, the options in settings/accounts&sync//HTC Sense also sync SMSs, list of installed apps, enable you to use the dashboard from htcsense.com (so, remote wipe ur phone, make it ring even if different sim is inserted or locate it on the map if you lost it and password protect it remotely, with a message you want to display on the phone). These options do not have anything to do with syncing with the PC (I do not have any HTC software installed on my PC).
HTC Hub on the other side, AFAIK, has the themes, ringtones and HTC widgets and such, so Darunion is correct in that part.
Darunion mentioned contacts. I think it only syncs the "phone" contacts. Not sim or google. And you are better off if you just have all your contacts as google contacts anyways.
The Sense syncing has also something to do with your location too. Updates your location for phone finder I believe.
But with or without the turmoil in this thread we have to agree that most of this is worthless. Especially when it only works half of the time.

[Q] google maps

When I click on a address in my phone instead of going to google maps it goes to the browser and loads it that way.....How can I stop that? I just want it to load into google maps not the browser I don't have any apps to make it do that. Stock Tmous HTC One S Non-rooted. Any help Would be appreciated

But this will require ROOT which he doesn't have...
Clear app defaults
Go to Settings>Applications, find the Internet application (or Chrome, whatever browser you're using) and Clear Defaults. That'll reset the file handlers and the next time you click a map link it should ask you if you want to open it in Google Maps (assuming you have it installed) or any other app that can handle the request.
I think he's stuck with the stock Apple suit enforced HTC Linkify crap. As far as I know, only way to make links clickable like this is to remove it via a Root file browser.
Ahhh....good ol root...
Well I would root my phone but due to all the buggieness how ever you spell that. I am waiting on my replacement One S to come in. I will try that with clearing defaults. thank everyone for the quick replies as well....thank button being hit now XD

Its already available as Call Manager version 0.95, but the available version is in chinese, it works on all device that are Fully unlocked/Interop Unlocked.
I tried like many others "Call Manager 0.95", but it is in Chinese and for the moment we can not find a solution to make it accessible to everyone. So I go back on my proposal for an application to block unwanted messages sms or mms guy. Today there's Samsung Call Blocking XAP which is great for calls, it would be nice also an application for sms and mms. no idea?

When I installed the app, I thought that deleting a contact from the list would have worked in the same way when you remove an app from the list (keep touching the name and then chosing remove).
I kept touching the contact but nothing happened...
And If I press on it, the garbage can is grey and not selectable... Only save and cancel are available...
Call Manger 0.95 English version: http://www.shreqg2.home.pl/files/Export/Call%20Manager%200.95%20MOD%20EN%20by%20Shreqg2.xap (on WP 7.8 some bugs).
Works on HTC HD2 1st Gen but Not on Titan second Gen.
Same here on my Titan not work
No chance for me. The application don't work on my HD7 with deepshing 7.8.
In fact, I can not even install the english version of the application. My phone HD7 note error during installation. Concerning the Chinese version, no probem but of course unusable because of language.
This is because u have uninstalled the previous version of this app from menu. There is a special option inside the application, which allows to remove it correctly from the memory. To resolve that problem:
1. Repair installation with that file: Call Manager Repair by Shreqg2.xap
2. Again install translated file from this thread (or from here: Call Manager 0.95 MOD EN by Shreqg2.xap)
Gd luck

[Q] Confirm SMS hide option

Does the stock messaging app have the secure box in it? To hide my sms.. I use the HTC One X and it had it.. Can someone please confirm it
Don't see that. also can't expand sms notifications to reply either
Ahh what kind of crap is this? Don't know if it's sense 6 or Verizon variant? On sense 5.5 i had this feature as well as sense 4+. I just figured it was on there but didn't look for it. If you go to phone app there is blocked callers but nothing for blocking text messages, WTF?!?

Best integrated feature and don't see why they would take it away but still integrate blocked calling feature? Stupid. Know any third party apps that work with KitKat 4.4.2 for this?
So did Verizon take this feature out or maybe in the software update that brings us the Power Save modes we will get this feature back?
On the HTC site it shows it's still possible on the M8, http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/464987.html

Made a thread on the Intl M8 forum trying to get someone over there to check. Will at least confirm if HTC said screw it you don't need this feature or Verizon/US Carriers (once other carriers get this device in hand to see) said screw it you don't need this feature. HTC says the M8 has this feature. Unless they are wrong or again only on the Intl version or maybe just latest Firmware since ours is so old and don't even have the simple Power Save mode yet. Geez my Sense 4+ had Power Save mode. http://www.htc.com/us/support/htc-one-m8/howto/464986.html

Exactly! Always had this feature even on Sense 5.5 with Android 4.2.2 on my HTC One X+ device. Seems odd Sense 6.0 would take the feature out and leave in the block call feature???
Third party apps never work as well as fully integrated features IMO. Sure they can work for the most part, only takes that one time though it doesn't work to ruin it all, lol!

Long press a message you only get options for Delete, Call, Open Contact. That's it! If you go into a text conversation window you can lock a message by tapping it and shows a lock symbol. Doesn't hide the message at all, think all this does is prevent message from being deleted.
Well looks like there is hope people!!! Straight from the HTC website it provides it (see link above) and also just got confirmation from an international unbranded HTC M8 user!
1.54.401.5 and yeah, stock unbranded international.
So i guess we then have to wait for either:
A. Verizon push us an OTA update with latest firmware 1.54.401.5
B. We have to wait for S-Off and then we can update on our own to firmware 1.54.401.5 and have it along with a world of opportunities?!?:fingers-crossed:
Just tested out the block caller feature that we still do have built into the stock dialer app. This feature is useless, try it! I blocked a phone number. Then had that phone call my phone, after 2 rings goes to voicemail, i left a voicemail. Now my phone vibrates telling me i have a new voicemail and also displays an icon on the notification bar with a person and a lock next to them. I pull down notifications and says tap to stop call forwarding or slide to dismiss.
So basically if you want someone to not call you you're SOL! They can still leave you a voicemail and the phone shows you right away that someone you didn't want to call just called. Gotta love the privacy here, WTF?!?
Really miss iPhone here with iBlacklist. The only app that got it right all the time! Would not let people leave a VM, would just make a busy tone if they called. Above that would save their texts they tried sending you inside the iBlacklist app itself if you cared to read them or just delete them. This device has no options like this and seems nothing on the market is compatible with kit kat 4.4.2?

Check out Who Are You. It pairs best with YouMail, but it's not required. I use them both and once I ditch a call, it doesn't just hang up on them. It plays the Verizon Wireless number disconnected message and then hang up.
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Does it block text too? Seems nothing blocks text in kit Kat 4.4.2 and HTC phones have issues not blocking calls instead sending them to VM.
