[Q] HTC Location (Navigation) Licencing

Hi All,
Anybody know how licensing is handled in the location app in desire HD? For example I have a vodafone branded desire HD and wanting to flash to one of the custom ROM will I loose this license? or I need to do a backup of the location app too make sure I still have the license.
Thanks

The locations app is stored on your sd card along with the maps and licence. If you need to reinstall license for some reason you can open locations, menu, upgrade, menu, sync license.

Thank's that's exactly what I'm looking for

Hello,
I can add that, I talk on the phone to HTC support and that "apparently" that's right, everything is stored on the SD card.
Does someone really test? because I do not want to lose the license purchased during an update, for example ...
However, little questions:
- If you make a copy of the file from the SD card do you think if one day we change phone (to buy another HTC) HTC Locations will work with this copy ?
- Do you know what "code sharing" on HTC Locations ?
Thank you all.

HTC uses the IMEI to validate de HTC Locations license.
I bought the safety camera license. I changed my phone from a HTC Desire HD to a HTC Sensation. I contacted HTC Support and they said that i have to buy again. It is not possible to change my license to my new phone.

[Q] user interface? File management wp7?

I am at a complete loss here. Just succesfully installed WP7 om my HTC HD2 now trying to set up the android dual boot. Necessary files are copied to the proper partition on teh SD card.....but NOW HOW TO GET TO THEM?????
Can't even run the exe files no explorer, no config, Am I dealing with a different Microsoft company? Filesync with PC...?
All very basic, but i can't even find a manual of some kind.

[Q] HTC Sync Files - Questions ??

Hi All,
I am hoping someone here can gimme a pointer or two on the issue I am seeing :
I have a Desire HD and I am using HTC sync version 3.0.5551 , the only things I sycn are contacts and calendar on my laptop, I don't have Route66 or any TomTom products installed on the phone but in the following folder I have Route66 related files
C:\Users\my_username\AppData\Local\Htc
The files there are:
R66Api.log,
ROUTE66Engine.log,
ROUTE66Engine.log.0000
and ROUTE66UIPreferences.xml,
this sort of thing normally doesn't bother me but the ROUTE66Engine.log file has grown to over 10GB in size on more than one occassion (32Gb last weekend) and the only way I can delete it is to stop all HTC services and then delete the files.
Once I start the HTC services again these files re-appear.
Again I don't have any mapping software on the phone, does anyone have any idea's as to why these files keep appearing on my laptop, ( I don't sync the phone with any other PC's)
The phone is on the Stock ROM as well.
Thanks in advance.

Since posting this question earlier today the log file was at 4.6Gb now it's over 9gb.. anyone seen this before?

i have an evo3d and im having the exact same problem.
first i thought i had a spyware or smt. but then discovered that those log files are gobblin down 38GBs of my precious SSD.
i too do not have route66 installed.
im running a kingcobra rom
s-off, rooted.. (not that i think it has anything to do with the phone)
i think its some kind of a bug in htc sync software.. anyone else having the same problem?.. anyone have a solution?

i think everytime it syncs everything again wich makes a lot of space

Guide to Resetting Accounts without a Hard-Reset

Hi all,
I have found a way to remove the main Windows Live account associated with the phone and insert another one without having to Hard-Reset the device.
Removing the main WL account might be indicated in the following conditions:
Improper Region Selected with Your Account
Switching between 2 Windows Live accounts
Problem with Contact Sync through Windows Live
Problem with Contacts stored locally on phone
Requirement:
Dev-Unlocked Windows Phone
WP7 Root Tools
Procedure:
Goto WP7 Root Tools or any other file explorer on the device
Navigate to \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\
Rename store.vol to store.vol.txt (or anything else) - can be used as a backup
Restart the phone
WP might indicate that there was a problem with updating and all your messages, contacts and accounts data have been removed.
Now you can manually add them again.
Please note that, all your stored emails, messages, locally stored contacts and other data associated with your setup accounts will be erased from the device (can backup by restoring store.vol.txt to store.vol). Make sure you sync your contacts before proceeding with this.

and the phone will remain unlocked?

Thank you, you help me a lot with this tutorial

[Q] upgrading into Android version!

I would say HTC 8S is really a smart looking phone, but the major problem is apps can't be installed is the SD card where the phone has only 2GB internal memory where most surprisingly the operating system almost grasp all the space so that only 5/6 apps can be installed in this phone.
Can any developer or user can share a solution to overcome this f..king circumstance?
More importantly, I have seen there are few HTC windows phone has the facility to upgrade it operating system into Android. Does this facility applicable for HTC 8S????? If this can be possible please I request someone to come forward to share the procedures.

Hi, when windows phone 8.1 comes out (assuming it is released for the HTC 8S) there will be the option to install apps to the SD card.
The developer preview will hopefully be available to download in April sometime, but this isn't for definite.
So it is worth you waiting for another month to see if this helps with your phone.
As far as upgrading to Android, I am not aware of any windows 8 phones that this can be done with.
