Since the 2.14.401.1 version (2.14.401.1 and 2.24.401.3 at this point in time) HTC added two spyware apps to the stock ROMs.
To open a settings menu screen type *#*#76484#*#* (*#*#SMITH#*#*).
IMO, delete this sh*t. HTC = pathetic.

Yep I researched those and removed a long time ago.
Apparently it could be for HTC to remotely control your phone if you contact support, but I'm taking no chances.
Me and another user found this some time ago. There is some info about it online, if you look hard enough.
As far as I can tell the Smith app doesn't send out logs to anyone. You have to manually input an IP address for the logs to save at, or it defaults to the SD card. It doesn't have anywhere to save the logs but the SD card by default. (Maybe if you opt into sending HTC statistical data? Its the first thing that happpens when you boot a stock ROM)
You can delete it if you want. It won't affect how your phone functions.

I just recently found this on my phone. Can anybody tell me how it got there? I was thinking my girlfriend did it. However, after reading this I'm having second thoughts. Was it placed by sprint or HTC or is it something someone buys to put on the Evo 4g?

Reading around in the net I found the review of a new phone: E-TEN M600, follow the link: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/E-TEN_M600.htm. They talk about a new software called INDEX DIAL. I am curious about it; it seems a cool tool. Any information about it? Does anybody know where it can be found? Thank you for your help. Paul.
Since you still haven't received any answers let me at least try to point you in the right direction.
ETEN M600 is not a new phone. It's been around for over a year and despite looking good on paper it had a ton of problems and needed constant ROM updates. I considered buying it my self when it first came out, but now I am glad I didn't.
The app you are talking about is a feature unique to this phone (ETEN bought / wrote the app and stuck it in ROM) and is not available for other phones. (At leas I haven't heard of a 3rd party app that does this)
Hoeven, programs have been extracted from the eten ROM. You should look in the ETEN specific forum (this board is mainly about HTC manufactured devices) maybe someone extracted the index dial.
Good luck.
I ripped this one ages ago. Don't know if it's the same thing.

how to create a link to this program?
YES!! I love this program: I installed it on my MDA (T-Mobile USA) and it works fine. My problem is how to create a link so that I can activate it fast. It doesn't show in the Programs, it doesn't show in the Items setting, nor in the Menus setting, nor can it be associated to any button. Any suggestion?
Thank you, Paul.
I finally made way to downgrade my htc dhd 2.37 .
now anyone please suggest me which rom to flash and kernels etcs
I am using softbank movule network
after I downgraded my 3G network is not working..
what should I do?? please suggest
With softBank you need to be using the correct APN otherwise you can get charged the wrong amount for Data costs. (At least this was the case with Windows Mobile and SoftBank.) If you are not sure after changing things I would switch off mobile data until you are. See Below.

Always backup your original rom using a backup program like Rom Manager which you can use with a rooted phone.
(Label it SoftBank original rom or something. This is peace of mind in case the phone has to be repaired and go back to SoftBank etc.)
You can use a program like APN Backup & Restore to save your SoftBank APN (to SD Card) and then restore it immediately and every time you change roms. (So you can connect to the net/ 3G etc.)
This is important with SoftBank or any carrier.
You can Google `apn backup and restore apk' if you can't access the market with your phone.
Take a look around at rom screenshots to get a feel of the look you are hoping for.
My site has a few screenshot examples here and a list of roms here.

As many of you may know, Dropbox is currently holding a promotion for their new automatic photo upload thing. For every 500mb of pictures I upload, I get 500mb free (4.5GB limit).
I am trying to think of the best / fastest way to do this. I've been looking and looking for high resolution photos, but most all the ones I find are just under 1mb. I'd have to download atleast 500 of them to get the first 500mb. I even began just snapping random photos with my phone, just pressing the camera capture button, over and over and over for a total of 311 times lol. It was nowhere near enough pictures.
Anyone have any advice? Or does anyone have a place for photographs with large file size? To those of you that have already done this, could you tell me what you did to do it?
This may be of interest
I suppose if everyone posted a pic.... maybe you could pool em all into dropbox? First -

I have the stock framework, but since I used the motomoto theme, alot of apps are themed.
If someone with a i317 could copy their /system/app folder, zip it up and send it to me, i would be much appreciative. That was I can get out a stock de-odedex files with an extended power menu.
Its already done on mine, its just all my stuff is themed at the moment.

Not sure if I got it from the right place (system/framework) but here you go:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/a21flhlxt80wg91/framework-res.apk
That's the right place. And I assume both of these are stock?
I'm on my way home now. Give me a few hours and I'll have them up.

Same.
Ah crap. I need more files than that. I themed to many. I'll get a hold of them somehow
Unless one of you guys who is stock, no theme will zip up your entire /system/app folder and send it to me?
Send me a PM with what you need.
nevermind... I just PM'd you with a link. if there's a problem with it, let me know - I also pulled a copy of the non-sparse partition that can be mounted via a loopback device.
Stock ROM. Two bugs.
In legacy SMS app, I have set a message. Any time I exit a conversation with back button, app says it saved a draft. Need to exit by doing menu-discard. I had this bug also in the stock rom for my previous phone, HTC Sensation, 3 or 4 years ago (android 2) (fixed after changing rom). I am surprised this bug comes back after so long. Is there a fix ? When loading the draft again, it adds the signature a second time, then a third ...
Many apps and widgets show voltage of battery to be 3 or 4 mV. Few app give the correct value. After digging, the value in /sys is good (forgot the full path file name). An advanced app shows the correct value internally, and gives a button to access the android internal hidden menu of battery, and in there, the value is wrong. So, it looks like it's an android bug, and all apps which get it wrong are those asking kindly the value to Android (instead of going directly in /sys). Is there a fix ?
Ah, found the file:
Code:
cat /sys/devices/platform/htc_battery/power_supply/battery/batt_vol_now
4193

3rd image says: you are going to reach a feature hidden by the manufacturer ... that could damage your phone. Use it at your own risks. => to me it's going to an internal android menu. A stock one.
