[Q] Did the 2.2 update.zip - Now issues

Ok so update went well...so I think. Had to reinstall Swype due to it not functioning. My current issue is using Friendstream or attempting to add twitter by using the Accounts & Sync gives a login and invalid account error. I'm not typing anything wrong because I have it set to show password, and can login through web /sesmic app / twitter app with no issues. This is simply some type of functionality issue so I'm curious if anyone has suggestions before I do rollback to stock .
So question is again...anyone else having friendstream /Acct & Sync adding of twitter acct using Twitter by Htc sense. Been trying for over 5 hours to get it to work before posting this thread. Would hate to lose Froyo over this, but it happens right. Sigh, thanks for reading this an any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.
I am having the same issue and I have been running froyo roms for months with no issues and all of a sudden I couldn't log on today with any Rom
incredible with Virtuous 2.0 and kings 3
The Sense widgets that touch twitter aren't compatible with Twitter's OAuth based logon implemented Sept 1.
Friendstream and Twitter for HTC Sense are definitely broken, and I believe Peep is as well, though I've not used that one. Twitter repeatedly announced the upcoming change starting December '09). One user at HTC.com forums pasted a support reply from HTC indicating that HTC's stance is that Twitter must change their logon system, but I think that is a case of the tail wagging the dog (imo).
Either way, the workaround is to use a client or widget that has been updated to support the change. Most of them have been updated already. Except HTC's own.
HTC and Twitter have both said a fix is in the works and should be implemented soon. HTC made it sound like any minute now, while Twitter was a little more hesitant.

I hadn't read that. I'll look for it though. What I did read was:
<snip> However, HTC has no control over this issue. Twitter will need to release an update for the application or create a new application with the correct settings. <snip>

I hope you're information is correct though.
Having some other random issues, so does anyone know of a guide for simply way to get back my phone back to stock 2.1? I see a few post saying I need to root and download these roms and sadly I don't feel comfortable with that. Just hearing people who took the update.zip route might be screwed for future OTA updates, and dealing with phone isues to verizon if you didn't get the actual OTA update.
Thanks again for the great responses and letting me know I'm not crazy and it's a known issue with new twitter security features for oauth.

This would be great, especially if it can be done without losing settings and apps, like how easy it was to upgrade to the leaked froyo.

Will not reboot after installing Viper

Hi all,
Hopefully this is quick -- i did search several threads but didn't find a solution to this issue.
installed Samsung drivers
I rooted my Epic with noobnls - oneclick 2.5.5
updated PIT and modem with Odin
got to the clockworkmod screen
downloaded ViperROM__FRoZeN__EXT4-RFS_Dual_DK28_4.0.3
to the SD.
Wiped data and cache 3x,
installed Viper zip from the SD - successful.
went to reboot and ......
all i get is a phone symbol ..caution sign....PC symbol (some kind of connection to PC error)
I did a wipe and reinstalled Viper - same thing.
any ideas - I'm hoping this is a simple fix so I don't have break this down to stock and try it all over.
Thanks in advance.
PS- hate samsung and sprint for stalling out on a minor update and leaving this phone in the back closet.
Those symbols mean use odin
I think best thing for u t do is odin to stock and get ota froyo
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
yeah - trying to get it back to stock Odin
not sure on why I should do ota froyo since it doesn't exist yet.
plenty of stable ROMs.
it was all good up until the reboot after installing Viper.
then blah.
I'll just keep working on it.
I meant get it on monday
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
get it on Monday -- haha.
it's not coming out. another rumor based on nothing. If it was coming out - you would think that one of those douchbag companies would have put something official out - b/c they both taken a lot of crap for the delay. Unless they want it to be a big surprise - but I'm guessing they aren't announcing anything b/c at the last second - they'll pull it again for more "testing" ie adding more bloatware/useless crapps.
i made up my mind -- going to custom froyo instead of stock -
btw - got it back to stock and will try Viper again tonight or tomorrow.

same rumors about it being released after Christmas - so I'll still take it with a grain of salt - maybe it happens, maybe it doesn't.
Again, if it does come out - it is going to be some crap version poked and proded by Samsung and then approved by Sprint missing the good stuff but full of junk - so I'm gonna skip it anyway.

To address your issue, not to insult you, but when you say you got it back to stock to you mean stock dk28 or stock DI18? The viper rom you chose is only compatible with dk28. But again, no real reason to deal with dk28's bugs when official froyo is right around the corner
I don't care how many times Sprint or Samsung say "it's coming soon" - until it actually goes OTA - it doesn't count. They've been jerking people around for 6 months and are already 2 updates behind.
I got it back to DI18 using Odin and just reset the whole thing. I was under the impression that DK28 was pretty stable.
thanks for the insight.
This is the first time that sprint has announced a date.

This. The last the last time we had an "official date" from sprint it was leaked unofficial info that turned out to be wrong. This time, Sprint has put notice up in several places, included the authorized service center news for all of their indirect retailers (non-corporate stores and kiosks). Unless something major happens, we're actually getting it this time.

Un-Rooted, And Holding Off Until The Update...

Had my SGSII for about 3 months now. Rooted the 1st week I brought it home. I've been flashing ROMs left and right, trying to find that certain one that best fits my lifestyle.
I've landed on the Darkside, and found my flavor there.
Because of "all this talk" about ICS, and only going (OTA) to unlocked un-rooted phones. I've successfully un-rooted, and went back to stock.
With all the benefits of having a phone rooted (nandroid backup, uninstalling bloatware), i ended up asking myself "WHY". Why do I really need to be rooted. The only time i ever do a nandroid backup is when I flash a new ROM. After much consideration, I ended realizing that the ONLY main reason I want my phone rooted is to re-place the Gmail.apk in the system's folder to a modded Gmail.apk - so I can put my unread count widget on my home screen.
Yeah yeah yeah.. i know there is a apk in the market named "Google Unread Count 2.0", but it doesn't read your unread count email in real-time. It takes a few minutes for the widget to update.
Other, than that there really is no pressing reason to have my phone rooted.
Now for the OTA update waiting game..

To each their own but there are many more reasons to root other than a Gmail.apk. If your waiting on an OTA ICS update you will be waiting awhile longer. But again to each their own.

I find it amusing that the only justifiable reason for you to root is a modded gmail
There are so many reasons to root it's not even a question of "why".
How about Carrier IQ? Or full control over Theming? Custom Kernels, build.prop, CWM Touch Recovery? You can't be serious about a gmail notification being the sole reason for rooting.
Oh and btw, if you haven't learned this yet, you may want to pay attention:
Once the update starts rolling out to the general public, the official version will be leaked on xda and you will be able to flash through CWM. I'm sure within days there will also be a rooted stock version as well. This will be well BEFORE you get the OTA.
So, if you want to give up control of your device just to wait longer for something that hasn't even officially been announced yet, more power to you. Say hi to Carrier IQ for me

Who said it's even coming to your phone, just because Samsung said it's now being sent OTA does NOT mean you will get it. The fact that you have a carrier branded phone means that Tmobile will get it's hands on it first then do it's wonderful (sarcasm) magic and bloat it with there apps like Tmobile TV and so on. Then IF they choose to make it available they will send it there's NO time frame on that. All I have to do it's point out the Tmobile's version of the Samsung Galaxy S, the Vibrant, which NEVER got Gingerbread like the other Galaxy S phone that did. Samsung announced and released an OTA for the Galaxy S but Tmobile in there infinite wisdom chose NOT to release it to the Vibrant. So just because Samsung announced and is sending a OTA ICS does NOT mean you're going to get it. You will have to WAIT for your carrier IF and when they announce it, PERIOD!
Though it may only he available to stock unrooted users, its often a matter of a few days to get an rooted stock rom up so thats not an issue for me

personally, i like the ability to get into the rooted side of es file explorer to modify the build prop, change lcd density, insert init.d script edit for better battery life. hell, how about undervolting the kernel with oc apps to get upwards of 24 hours out of a single charge? also, while the tmo roms are good, they cant hold a candle to the 2.3.5 roms from ATT...i dont know what it is but those roms run like a dream on this snapdragon soc.
final thought - I love tmo, dont get me wrong, but if you think that tmo will be the first to get ics ota then maybe you know something i dont. considering that, i hypothesize that ics (or even cm9) will be available for flashy goodness long before its ever beamed to our phones.

I also havent rooted since getting my replacement phone... The phone is great without it and 75% of the roms and themes are the same thing just a dif battery mod or kernel (not many choices on this phone) I just think rooting isnt that big of a deal anymore since phones are becoming more powerful

Facebook home

Now iv been looking for a leaked apk of this all over. if you havent heard about it yet then jump on to your fb account and check it out. its been a part of my news feed for days. more that i read it seems this will be more of a rom than an app. witch confuses me because the way fb had worded it, it had seemed like it was going to be an app also. im no crazy facebooker like my gf but im curious to see how this changes things like the lock screen, home screens and the overlay of fb msger. does anyone have more info on this or just maybe a leaked apk they saw fall off the back of the truck and and point me where i can find it on the side of the road lol.
more infor if anyone wanted to read http://www.topapksite.com/facebook-home-rom-leaked-ahead-of-releasethe-droid-guy/

I was first thinking it was just something for the htc first. But now I'm under the impression that it's going to be a replacement launcher like apex or nova.
I thought it was announced? It's a launcher, but it's more integrated than other launchers as it also replaces the lockscreen and has that overlay. Personally, as a college student who uses facebook for communication and stalking his friends, I'd use it lol.

I might mess with it to see what theyve been up to at FB, but I cant imagine wanting to use this as a regular launcher. Especially if its anything like their native app.
My understanding is just that it is a launcher that is heavily integrated with FB.
I personally will not be using it, as I cancelled my FB account a year ago. The air just smells cleaner these days...

So Facebook home was released today and after reading the requirements our phone should run it just fine. But they would rather supply it to the popular phones. Is there a sure way of getting the official release on our phone through the market? I know there's a way to change the play store to think this is a different device. How do I do that? All I can find are enablers that don't work on most phones this one included
Edit: never mind. That still doesn't work. Edited the build.prop and still no luck. Even the Facebook that supposed to have the "home" settings doesn't have it for my device. And the leak files won't allow me to log in. I'm assuming that has something to do with the device as well..

Is there a sure way of getting the official release on our phone through the market? I know there's a way to change the play store to think this is a different device. How do I do that? All I can find are enablers that don't work on most phones this one included
Edit: never mind. That still doesn't work. Edited the build.prop and still no luck. Even the Facebook that supposed to have the "home" settings doesn't have it for my device. And the leak files won't allow me to log in. I'm assuming that has something to do with the device as well..

Porting over T-Mobiles new Advanced Messaging

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...nced-messaging-to-make-texting-more-powerful/
T-Mobile announced today that they are releasing the new Advanced Messaging capabilities to about a dozen devices, presumably the G3 is one of them. The features would include read receipts, seeing when others are typing, sharing high-res photos and videos, near real-time chat, and support across any device and network.
I haven't looked at anything about it yet, but I assume that it shouldn't be too difficult to port it over to the G3. It is likely just some APN modifications and a couple APKs and files.
I cant wait
Subscribing just in case the apk magically appears here, I've hunted high and low for it even on Galaxy Grand Prime T-Mobile demo phones and trying to update them and still see nothing but messages app.
Just a update...

it's not an app. its a technology. the SMS app devs are the ones who need to add the feature. t-mobile wont have an app for this. do you even read bro?

Some other user said that on the XDA Article just paraphrasing them, I believe Falcon has intentions of doing so, but right now it's still just a newborn baby it hasn't even gotten wide spread yet, RCS that is but it's barely even on one major phone right now. So we still got a good way to go first.
I really do hope RCS-SMS Messaging takes lead, for my friends who don't use messengers like FBIM or Kik and WhatsApp, I honestly hate using the painfully slow old and outdated sms, waiting nearly 30 mins sometimes for one sms to get delivered is ridiculous to me and due for a change.
