Develop Bugs

[Q] HTCSense.com

Is it just me or can anyone else not access the manage contacts section ?
All i can do is remote lock, remote wipe & ring at full volume.
I thought there were meant to be more features

Does it looks like the image attached at my post?
I contacted HTC already 2 times about this, but they keep saying they're ''working on it''..
I hope they fix it soon, anyway.. i'm already developing my own htcsense.com-like app

Yeah, except Locate Phone isn't even working for me

I can confirm that it's the same for me too on HTCSense.com Greece.

In Poland the same HTC support said they should fix it till the end of this year ... HEHE 2 days left I don`t think so ...

Known issue. Just wait and see, can't do much more...

Same here in Holland, can't do anything with htcsense.com

I have spoke to HTC about this and this is the (some what vague) reply i got:
Sorry for the inconvenience. But htc sense has had to go under further construction to get all of the features to work. As they are always modifying the website etc. it is stopping the phone finder and phone ringer features from working. It is also stopping customers creating and logging in on our website.
You may find the features to work and then stop again, as they are very intermittent.
So please keep trying to create an account and log in, as eventually it will work because not all of our customers are having issues at this moment in time.
Htc apologise for the inconvenience. And hope to get the website working and fully functional as soon as possible.
HTC can confirm that HTC Sense.com is currently in development for use in a near future. Specific device variants, including regional or national variations that will have access have not yet been confirmed. Once more detailed information is available on the release date and which of the devices will use this feature then a more formal announcement will be made.

I trust that this resolves your query, please do not hesitate to contact us again if required.

It seems like htcsense.com is STILL not working properly. I only see the dashboard and can locate my phone and make it ring, but nothing else is there. You may have several hours after your registration for even the dashboard to show up. Also try a different browser - in the beginning the site didn't work in my Firefox for some reason, but it worked in Chrome - go figure

Still isn't working for me.
I tried to remotely lock my phone as a test, it didn't lock but now the website says my phone is locked

I tried using HTCSense.com yesterday, it was my first time since december. I cannot believe that the software is still broken. It is even more broken than it was on december.

Same here, it keeps telling me I need to enable the locate my phone phone finder on my phone. Except it had been enabled since day one and I've never disabled it ever. :/

It works for me, but I can only use the dashboard (no contacts, footprints, whatever). Oh and the lock phone option takes a while to kick in.

Woao. The locate phone actually worked, no more Nigeria for meh! It was off for only like 50m. I turned on Locations while it was scanning for my phone, dunno if it worked just because of that.

i think all the things you can do on your phone.i don't think htcsense.com is very useful,but on your phone it can backup your settings and contacts.This is useful.

Not 100% sure how to regain your data if you don't have a google account linked to it anymore. If you did just going to play.google.com and having it send an app like GotYa. But if the person that took your phone did a full wipe on it recovering anything remotely sounds like more of a challenge than an easy task.
With the phone back in hand you _might_ be able to use some regular PC data recovery tools to pull data off the SD card even if its been deleted prior.
Not sure if Anyone will be helpful in tracking things down, Most of the time the phone company just wants to drop the connection on the stolen phone and move forward from there.
Hopefully someone else will have better information than I can provide though. I've only dealt with Lost phones, never actually had one stolen.

Install Plan B from the online Play Store.

Google +?
Did you have either Google + or Dropbox on the phone? Both backup photos if you enabled them during setup.

can't download from google play

I can't download from Google Play store. It says I never accessed from my phone. None of my google accounts worked.
Found my photos but I can not get closer that 323 yards to get my phone. And the police aren't interested because the only crime was the theft from my car. If it were my cold dead body they would look.
Can any of the IMEI or other information help me get closer? How? Force a download? Drag and drop into the apps I have on my google accounts?
Please help!

dropbox worked other questions re locate

Thanks got the photos from dropbox! Would love the phone back! Only IMEI etc numbers? See previous post with details on my quest.
Or, how to wipe my contact info.

Install plan b from the play store. Can be done from the computer and remotely added to phone. Its by lookout. Other than that good luck. Glad you got your photos back

Always...ALWAYS link your data with your google account....unless you work for the CIA, FBI, a terrorist organization, or NSA. You can sync your contacts, photos, apps and app settings, you name it. There is no need to walk into a sprint store anymore to "transfer your contacts." I dont know why they even still offer that service when you can just simply sync everything now.

[Q] Did someone hack my phone?

Hello everyone,
Since the beggining of this week, I'm experiencing a weird and suspicious event.
My wifi icon shows up like if I was downloading something 24/7 (please see the attached picture)
Seems like some app keeps using my wifi to send/receive data (could be a trojan ?).
I want to know your thoughts about this knowing that I rebooted both my phone and rooter several times already.
Thanks.

Hey dude,
That's normal. Most times bloatware is running as a back process on the phone. It also depends which apps you've got. Like news apps or if your Facebook or Twitter is active. Don't worry about it, I would say.

If you are worried about Trojans do a search on Play for one of the free security software. A good one will scan and show you suspicious apps you need to evaluate and possibly remove. Good luck

Best way to find out is root and use Android Firewall. It is free and useful. You can block and just check logs to see what is sending traffic.. and where.

Thanks for the answers guys
It does look like some heavy working app because It takes ages before a normal website loads.
@Beowulf_pt : that's exactly what I'm looking for, cheers !

You really need to look at what you have runing in the background and decide if you want all of it turned on. There is a lot of things that are on by default that you may not need like auto updates for apps. They will be checking to see if there is an update and use your bandwidth even if there is no update available.

It could be google instant upload / picasa (check your Google Account sync settings) or Dropbox Camera Upload (check dropbox app settings).if you have those enabled that could be the cause. I'd guess they're the most likely culprits in this case.

[Q] Google Play detecting wrong carrier?

Hello, I'm new here to XDA. As forum policy requires, I have watched the XDA video and I know that one must fully search the forums (and Google) for the answers to their questions. Unfortunately, I haven't come across any solution to my problem:
Google Play is detecting the wrong carrier for my phone. Because of this, certain apps that were once compatible with my CDMA Cricket HTC One V are labeled "incompatible" for my device. Google detects my phone as Virgin Mobile as opposed to Cricket.
I have recently rooted my phone with RhythmicRom v1.4, and I have followed the advice from a previous thread to delete my app settings for Google play and remove my synced account, then resync. Nothing. I have also tried to follow the advice in another thread of checking the Web version of Google play to see if I can delete my phone and re-add it. Nothing again.
I assume it may have something to do with a file on the system, that perhaps one can edit? It's not so much as changing the name to what I want on the notification, it's more about what information synced networks such as Google are receiving about my phone.
I would appreciate whatever kind and non-sarcastic help anyone is able to provide on the matter. If you need any other information, I'd be more than happy to provide it. Thank you!

Thanks to a good friend, I got it worked out.
There's a specific app that exists, for those who don't want to go through the phone. It's called "Market Helper", and he referred me to a link here.

instagram disabled on my g3

hey guys, so a week ago, my instagram account got disabled for no reason. everytime i try log in then it says "your account has been disabled for violating our terms". and this is bull****. i never violate any terms at all.
so i emailed instagram about this and yea they replied, but they dont do **** to help me, they just told me to go to help center but theres never an answer there.
but then, i tried to log in to my account using the instagram app using my dads phone, i can logged in no problem, then i tried my friends phone, i can logged in too. i tried to log in using the web, yes i could logged in too. so i search on google, instagram actually disabled your device from ever logging to their client. idk wtf that means. they trace our device by imei or some **** idk.
so i tried the xprivacy method from xposed(yes my g3 is rooted)but it still doesnt worked, i still cant log in to my account using my phone.
so i have a final solution. im gonna root my friends phone, then im gonna try to log in to my account using my friends rooted phone, then backup the app instagram using titanium backup, then send the backup to my g3, then restore the app and app data back to my phone. after i restored the app and open the app, will my account still logged in from my friends phone earlier?
any titanium backup experts here? i just want to make sure of this because so that i rooted my friends phone worth it. so please answer this.
thanks in advance xda.

If the block is done on the Instagram's side (server), I don't think that will work.
