    Help blocked sending certain text messages

    I'm an idiot. I was forwarding a spam text to 7726 and the phone said something along the lines of 'this might cost money'. Then, via some not paying attention of fingers, I pressed something that has blocked sending of certain kinds of texts, I assume to prevent premium rate texts being...

    Questions so far ...

    Hello people. Feel I might as well start some posts here for semi-beginner users like myself, in case others have similar questions. Well, I've had a play for a day or so now, and so far mostly loving the phone. However, some questions. So far: 1) I assume that it's just a matter of time...

    Help HTC Notification Sounds

    I'm finally leaving my old HTC Desire, and am betraying it for a Samsung. Which has awful notification sounds. I never rooted my old Desire, so don't have access to the sounds from the old phone. I wondered - has anyone done so and made a copy of the sounds so I could download them ... and then...

    Three branded phone

    Hello, Finally upgraded from the antique HTC desire. Got my phone from three, will be unlocking and switching to my actual network (O2, for my sins) asap. However, how do I tell if I have three firmware, and how do I remove it if so? Um. thanks. Guess this will take a while to be answered...

    Help Doesn't wake up in the morning, though isn't off?

    I've started noticing that, in the morning, I don't get any calls or messages unless I make an outgoing call or text first. I'll send a text, and then suddenly get a few from throughout the night, and a voicemail from when someone has tried to call. It's as if the phone thinks it's switched...

    Help Reunited with my Desire, Klaxon broken?

    Finally got my Desire back. It's been a weird couple of weeks - using a phone that can only call and text... but has a battery life of days, not hours! I'll miss that, if only that. ANYway - I downloaded as many of my apps that I could remember, and it's almost back to normal. Almost - I can't...

    Help Screen blank issue.

    This has happened twice today. Just before lunch, I took my phone out of my bag, and the screen was blank. I pressed the on button, expecting the swipe down lock thing to show, but nothing. I then thought maybe it was off, but it didn't turn on. So - I did a battery pull, turned it on. It did...

    Help Not syncing despite autosync being on...

    I've noticed this over the last couple of days. I have unlimited data, so have my email on autosync. I also get a lot of emails - so if I wake up (as today) to no new ones, I know something is wrong... I have the autosync thing enabled, but even when I got to the settings and ask it to sync...

    Help Missing contact (s)?

    I just added a friend at work - name and number. I went to call her - and she didn't show up in the people list. I type in her number again, dial it (so I know I at least have it stored temporarily that way), and her name comes up. I can edit her contact details from there, but I have no way of...

    Help O2 Apns Froyo/2.2

    Right - I'm trying to fix my O2 apns, and the settings they've given me just make them not work. (Grr) The one that you can automatically set up with 2.2 gives me mms capabilities and SOME internet: wap.02.co.uk 193.113.200.195 8080 o2wap password <not set> http://mmsc.mms.o2.co.uk:8002...

    Help Check if ports are blocked (app/way on HTC desire)?

    A friend is developing an app, and it works on the 2.2 emulator, on vodaphone and t-mobile phones, but not on my o2. Is there any way to test if I've got something blocked on my internet, to see if it's worth attempting to fix, or if it'll be screwed on o2? (I ask here in case there's a way...

    Help Can you change the MTU (on a non-rooted phone)?

    I have talktalk, and my internet is unusable unless I've lowered the mtu to 1458 or 1432 or something like that. My router doesn't support it, so I've had to do it on each device using it manually (boooo). Worked out how to do it on the PC and netbook, but is it even possible on my desire? :(...

    Help Blank Screen...

    Weird problem this morning... Turned my phone on, went to put the gps on, got distracted, screen dimmed as normal. Poke the top left button to get it back on, nothing happened. Poke again... screen stick black. Phone on, as it's flashing the message led. Eventually just removed battery and...

    Runkeeper bug query; running armbands for women etc...

    A couple of queries (one already up on the runkeeper support forum, but thought I'd see if it was 'my phone' or a runkeeper bug). 1) Runkeeper and GPS don't work well when my phone's in a case (a nice silicon don't break if drop it one). Does anyone recommend an armband that works? NOTE: I once...

    Help Issue with hotmail email...

    Posting for a mate because he's too lazy... :) He's set up his gmail and work mail on the phone just fine, but his hotmail is playing silly buggers. The gmail is through that app, the work and hotmail through the desire mail app. Anyway - he cannot get any hotmail emails into the inbox. When...

    Checking it's turned off...

    I had a moment of paranoia in the theatre recently. I turned phone off, couldn't remember if I'd turned the phone off, then realised the only way to check the phone was off was to press the button at the top, which if the phone was on would bring me to the screen unlock thing... but if it was...

    I'm in the swype beta - but can't redownload the installer...

    Can anyone grab the most recent version for me, and perhaps email it (I'll give my address if I get a positive response) - I want to see if once I have the installer, I can download the apk. *sigh*

    I want this app - ICE - does it exist? (cross post, sorry)

    An 'ICE' one - but not one that allows access to the dialer. Simply a button on the unlock pattern screen which when someone presses it, gives basic health information/stats [like blood type, and a paragraph of known health issue or something]. So that nothing unlocks, people don't need to...

    Stopping or uninstalling apps I'll never use...

    The phone automatically start some apps that I'll never use. Ones such as: Peep Stocks Footprints Flickr Friend Stream Wi-Fi hotspot (till I choose to use it) (At least they appear as running in the background manager) Since I removed all twitter details from Peep, it's at least stopped...

    Help Froyo Camera Flash

    I was certain I'd seen another post on this, but can't find it. Since Froyo, my camera doesn't work with flash. Even at 90% battery I get this message: Flash is disabled due to low battery power, cold weather, or a running application that uses a lot of power, like Wi-Fi hotspot and phone. I...

    Roaming fears!

    Ok - I'm off to the States next week, and want to ensure I'm not charged for, well, anything! On my old phone, I could get email when I demanded it (very slowly). It was free to get texts, and if I never answered my phone, I was charged nothing. I'm on the same plan, but want to make sure my...

    SMS deletion...

    Right - I've seen a few threads around here about difficulty deleting large sms threads. There have been the option of apps which delete them all. Thing is - I don't quite want that. I've got a 800+ long thread, and want to keep some - but going through and locking the ones I want to keep one...

    Startup noise /Spare battery...

    Well - I got a spare battery, and now just learned a downside of this cunning plan. Charged phone to full. Sitting at work, decide: "ooh, I can charge the new battery." So - take out full one, put in new not full one, plug it into computer. Then realise I might need it on, so turn it on and...
