CAN I GET A HELL YEA!
You can get it from tgis thread... It's not a root.
i've had this same problem.
there is a simple but quite annoying way to fix this. just go to that message and press the number and a menu should pop up that says "Verify the phone number"
and the following options should come up
-Call
-send message
-open contact
select open contact and then head back into the message, that contact should appear in place of the number.
Are you using the stock app? Handcent seems to work fine.
still having gps issues i got it to lock in really fast yesterday for half the day then out of no where it wont lock in at all, searching all the time, checked satalites and there are 0. also tobys link says its 269 my computer downloads say 263
I don't mean bad but my iphone 3gs had a dead on accurate gps in the google maps... My inspire never seem to give me my exact location. I noticed that th GB update put me a little closer but still not as good as my iphone. Anybody who can show me what to I would really appreciate it.
Whatever issues that I had, have seemed to fix themselves. My battery life has improved from what it was on Froyo...id say about 10-15 percent...nothing crazy, but pretty good nonetheless. The one thing Ive noticed is that the way picture messages are sent has been changed. Back on Froyo, every pic that I would send or receive would be in that crappy slide-show format. Now its like any other MMS! I dont know if this was from the GB update, but it seems to have fixed itself right after I updated. I had a question. When I would check my running aps before the update, they would be around that 80-100MB range. Now after the GB update, they are in the 180-200MB range. I dont know why this is, I think Ive downloaded 1 new app since the update and it doesnt show it as running...
Sorry, one last question...Someone said that updating manually voids the warranty. That cant be true right? Its not rooting your phone, its just downloading what HTC temporarily had on their website.
When is gb coming?? I have heard soon since I got my inspire. I'm ready for it. Also, my friend got his about two weeks before I got mine and his inspire already had the unknown sources option there. I was on phone with ATT all damn day and after the fifth person I got I finally found someone who knew about pushing me the sideloading update. And I still have NOT gotten it. Any advice

Should not void warranty since it was released by HTC, I dunno but it works great on mine. Loving the new notification and the speed.
For those who did the manual update, anyone still able to use the netflix app from xda? I haven't updated yet but just want to know if netflix still works.

If I've helped you please take a sec to click the Thanks button so that I know I done did good
I'm overseas, so I've contacted HTC support by email, and this is their answer:
I understand about receiving the Android 2.3 update not being in an AT&T service area. I know how important it is to have your device up to date. I will be happy to assist you. As long as your device is activated in some fashion you will be able to receive the update. When the update is ready for your device, you will receive a notification alerting the Gingerbread update is ready for install. Once the update is released it may take up to 5 weeks for you to receive the notification. You may also manually check for updates by going to Settings> System Updates> HTC Software Update> Check Now. If there is an update available, you will be able to follow the prompts to start the update process.
I'm not sure what they meant by activated in some fashion tho.
I just had the sms app bug people are talking about happen to me with a twist.
It's showing contact name on the main part of the sms screen where it shows all your convos/threads but once inside one thread it shows the # twice but no name. Other threads are still showing names.
It also did the thing again to me of sending a message (to that person without a name) and taking the last word of the message and making a new draft to him with only that word.
Here's a new one, I didn't get a notification for this but sometime between last night and now a message my wife sent me on May 1st has showed up in my sms app. Shows read and actually shows 5/1/11. How'd that get there/survive a wipe? I usually delete all sms after a few days, I wouldn't have had that message on my phone in 3 months.

Just received OTA update. Restarting. fingers crossed.
I had done the *#*#checkin#*#* several times today, and when I checked just now under HTC updates (not checkin), told me the system update was ready.
Came up just fine, Netflix 1.3 works fine, sms has all correct contact numbers, and performance seems good. GPS Status can't get a lock, but Google maps seems to be able to gps locate me loosely (within 30 meters). I'm next to a window.
This sucks! i was out side for 5 minutes and it finally saw 1 satellite and after a few moments it lost it.
Anyone know how to roll back to the original software?
Have you tried installing gps status or gps test and clearing/refreshing the agps data? gps status will do this for you when you start it. It's buttons you have to push yourself in menu - settings of gps test.
Though I'm guessing you have something like that if you know about # of satellites, I don't think maps or nav tells you that. Kinda sucks about some of the bugs.
I just got off the phone with HTC support. They stated i try keep GPS test on for 18 minutes and this will triangulate the signals to get me a reading, WTF???? that should only take seconds to do.
I asked if there was a way to roll back the software and they stated no. Looks like i am going back to att for swap out. I will just tell it not to install GB when the notification gets pushed.
My GPS is so so. Of course with wifi on its flawless. But without it I have a 50/50 shot of it getting an accurate location. Right now it has me in the middle of a lake 3 streets away...

If you lived in the desert like I do, you'd be happy to be in a lake! AHAHA! ;-)

So has anyone else had their call log info disappear? When I noticed I missed a call I tapped it it took me to the dialer like normal where my calls are usually listed only its a white screen with the dial pad. I actually have to tap the phone/pad icon to the right of the green call button for it to show my call history.

It happened to me starting the dialer from launcher pro, dialer was fine with htc launcher.
In lp I re-created the dock shortcut to phone and it was fine after that. (I changed it to start a game instead then changed it back to phone)
(I gave up launcher pro shortly after for go launcher because of some lp app drawer probs that started with this update and I'd been wanting to fully try go for a while)

app scrolling after GB
I don't like the scrolling of apps by page. But if you change it to List mode it is the old way where you can scroll several pages with a quick flick. Anyone know if it can be made to do the quick-scroll with the grid? Is this a 'feature' of GB or HTC Sense?
The HTC Inspire 4G was released as the first phone to run on AT&T's 4G HSPA+ network. The device features a large, 4.3-inch display, 8MP camera capable of 720p HD video capture, and a 1GHz Snapdragon processor. The name of the game here is ... Read More
