    Help Possible to do a partial restore from Google? Launcher Issues

    Hi all, Recently my venerable OnePlus3T suddenly decided to stop working properly (Launcher wiped all my icons from the backdrop, I can’t add new ones, home/app list softkeys have stopped working, and I can no longer download new apps from the Play store!). Decided to retire it, so I ordered a...

    Rooting an Orange branded Sensation

    Hi folks, I have an 18 month old Sensation bought through Orange with all the branding. It's running slow as hell and needs resetting, but what I would really like to do is get rid of all the orange rubbish and either install the standard HTC ROM or possibly an alternate ROM without any of...

    Sensation from Orange without Orange stuff?

    Hi folks, On the verge of taking the plunge with a Sensation, and want to stay with Orange, but having seen the amount of crap loaded onto the Orange Sensation I am not so sure. As well as the usual one or two apps, we have Orange Wednesdays, Orange Mail, probably some others as well, and...

    Help Occasional problems connecting to mobile data (Hero on Orange)

    Hi folks, Hero with latest ROM update (2.1) on Orange. I have had the occasional problem where I realise I have no mobile data connection, and try to "force" it by loading web pages, switching on/off, toggleing data, etc., and it usually comes back on in the end but there's no consistent...

    Displaying/backing up SMS/MMS in non-threaded format?

    Hi, My SMS/MMS messages are in a complete mess due to problems backing up/restoring after a ROM upgrade. I've tried backing them up to Googlemail using a couple of programs but it never seems to do them all. It's actually really tricky to tell whether I have them all because of the threading...

    Have I bricked my phone?

    Hi guys, I would appreciate some help on this. Backed up my phone data using both MyBackup & Sprite Backup for Android. Updated the ROM version as per instructions on HTC website. Phone came back up and worked perfectly. Restored Sprite Backup (minus Application settings). Worked OK except...

    Restoring backup after ROM update (with Sprite)

    Hi folks - finally updating to latest firmware, and restoring backups taken with Sprite Backup. I have heard people saying that restoring Application info doesn't work and it doesn't inform you of updates properly - best not to restore this bit, and just reinstall the applications manually. Is...

    ROM version??

    Hi all, Going to upgrade the ROM on both mine and my wife's Orange Heros. They're both on 1.5 currently. What I want to know is how does the 2.73.61.5 (and non-Orange 2.73.405.5) compare to "1.5" - have they changed the numbering? The instructions say to "check you are going to a newer...

    Searching by "Organisation" in Address Book

    On my old Windows Mobile phone in my address book I had companies listed in the "Organisations" field. They appeared in alphabetical order amongst the normal surname, forename entries and it worked really well. While searching my phone desperately for an urgent number today I found that not...

    Bluetooth support

    Another day, another thing that I assumed the Hero would do because my last 3 WinMo phones have done it but doesn't... :( Obviously BT file transfer doesn't work I knew that voice dialling isn't support - why on earth not though? I've just paired it with my BT car stereo, and I have also...

    Help Clock/weather widget - won't display "current location"

    This is driving me mad! I've had my Hero on Orange for 4 or 5 days now and apart from when I first switched on the phone the weather app has just said "No weather data available" and the clock/weather widget has just had my location. I have the "location by cell" thing switched on, and I did...

    Guide to transferring contacts to Hero?

    Hi all, I want to bring all my contacts accross from my old HTC TyTN II and keep them as they are (including groupings if possible). I understand I can either do this by putting them into GMail online and letting the phone get them from there, or by using ActiveSync/Outlook and letting the...

    Orange not doing deals on Hero?

    My wife just called Orange CS retentions saying she had found a better deal on T-Mob for upgrading - they asked what it was, said "that sounds good" and are sending her PAC code! Are they not doing deals on the new phone? To be honest it wasn't much better than what she already had from Orange...

    Voice dialling

    Hi all, New to the forums, looking at replacing my TyTN II with a Hero. Can't quite believe the omission of voice dialling though - my Nokia 8310 had it 5 years ago! What I'd like to know is is it likely that it will be included later, or, failing that, is it feasible for somebody to write a...
