[Q] [T-Mobile] Where is the multi-user? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've read that Verizon variant didn't have multi-user but I'm failing to find it on T-Mo's as well.
Did I miss something?
Thanks!

It's not there on Sprint either.

I think they removed it on US versions. Not sure why. I appreciated the guest mode for when someone had to borrow your phone.

It's likely not in the US version because of http://www.google.com/patents/US20050107114

I'm not US.
When you drop the notification, you should see your account photo in the top right corner, you tap that and it gives you the option to add a user.
You should also be able to access this from the Settings > Personal section > Users

I had it on my T-Mo XPeria Z3 so no it's most likely not the issue

Sony might pay licensing to use the patent where LG might not.

Found voice to text in the user manual !

I looked into the user manual that was uploaded by user "redmongoose":
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6002105&postcount=5
Page 70
And see what I found (see attached image).
I think this will be enabled on HTC retail version, but not on T-Mobile version.
Probably ...
PS: To get the manual: Connect you phone to a PC, Mount the SD Card and there you will find the manual

That would make sense as Vodafone in the Netherlands are getting them 14-15th of April.
I think the screenshot in the manual is showing an early version of the desire ROM, but was later removed. The manual doesn't seem to describe it anywhere as a feature.
There's a page on slashgear (search for Desire vs Nexus, I'm a new user so can't provide link) where somebody has left a comment suggesting that voice to text is currently exclusive to the Nexus, hence I think it was there in the desire rom but had to be disabled.

Welcome aboard!
There is a thread about this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=650076 which includes a link to the video you refer to.
I cannot think any single reason why such feature is removed when it was there before.
As I understood, the voice to text is a standard feature of Android 2.1, and not HTC.
How about the past HTC android 2.1 devices such as HTC Legend?
Is it not compatible with the HTC sense UI?
Someone should try this custom HTC keyboard, it has voice-to-text and other enhancements:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
Btw, probably we need to email HTC and/or T-Mobile to have clarification about this once and for all.

I won't be surprised if this feature was disabled in HTC Desire and Legend. One reason comes to my mind is the lack of the extra mic for noise cancellation, as it must help in voice-to-text working properly in certain conditions.
Nevertheless, even if that was the case, I'm sure as soon as Desire roms start cooking, this will be the first thing we'll see.
But I am wondering how clicking on that "voice-to-text/settings" button would work? is it going to be a 2-clicks process to activate? that kind of sux!

Glad to be here! I'll be even gladder when Clove deliver my Sim free handset...
The vid in the link relates to a Nexus phone, so this muddies things a little. However, I've seen other vids from the MWC showing that the keyboard on the Desire did indeed at one point have the mic icon on it.
Some people are speculating that retail/sim only units with have the feature enabled, but I don't think that will happen. As said above, I think it was simply that even though V2T is a standard feature of Android 2.1, it probably wasn't very effective without the noise cancellation hardware.
Nevertheless, it will be interesting to see just how well the Desire can do this - I've seen some videos of the V2T in action on the Nexus and its quite impressive.
There are pics of an Australian delivered model (Telstra branded) here:
http://news.smarthouse.com.au/images/shared/2010032804133605702.jpg
You can see from the pic that the V2T button is definitely there.

Just tried Better Keyboard. When i press the speech button i get:
"your phone does not have speech recognition engine"
I'll be a little annoyed if the sim free version has it.

ouch, .. i hope this have nothing to do with the fact that the desire doesnt have that stupid "noise cancellation".
and on the contrary, i would be delighted if the sim free version has it xP
If the retail unlocked version does not have it, then I will be very annoyed because they advertised it:

You're right, I quote their website "Imagine sending texts or emails simply by talking to your phone. Now do it, we're there."
I have sent them an e-mail asking if and when "we'll be there"...

Thats bad... Perhaps its just because of the T-Mobile Rom. But even this wouldnt make any sense.

Check this out.
That one is not T-Mobile version, I guess ...
The problem here is with the T-Mobile version, which does not include the voice to text "engine".
Or probably it (the engine) is disabled ... accidentally before shipping the device.

"Update for HTC Touch Pro2 Enhance the stability of SMS"

HTC has released an update for the Touch Pro 2 which "amends the internal management of SMS functionality, and enhances SMS transmission stability".
You can get it here. The update seems to be missing on the European mirrors at the moment, but the US one works.
thanks dude for the info... i'll try that.
i was experiencing some lagging in the messaging-centre. also tried this htc messaging v1.8 from someone but couldn't see any change. maybe this fixes some things...
So does someone know what is this update for?

supposedly its an enhancement for the SMS app, a lot of people have been experiencing issues like crashing and being unstable
this fix however should solve those problems
im suprised HTC is still supporting this device, hopefully theyll release a ROM before WP7.....which highly doubt it but you never know

Never experienced crashing/unstable... but brutally SLOW yes! And after installing this "fix" it is still slow as hell.
They should've already made a fix for the SOD problem ages ago...
Is there a custom ROM that'll fix this problem?
While this fix shows up under the UK link, if I go to U.S. site and put in Sprint Touch Pro 2, the fix is not listed? Is this only for European phones?
Just installed: it updates to HTC Messages Version 1.5 (Build 2016.2424)
It didnt work on my sprint US touch pro2 "this hot fix is not compatible with your device"

I believe this may be for GSM only, not European only as they list US and Asia download locations - I believe Sprint is CDMA and I think there is a US GSM version?
Anyhow, I cannot download from Europe 1 or 2 locales, but can from US, although when I tap on the .exe file once transferred to my device, nothing happens - anyone else experience similar?
In addition, where can I find out the version information of HTC messages so I can check my current one?
Yeah tried this yesterday and it didn't work for my VZW TP2. Hopfully we will get a compatible fix.

Naw I unsuccessfully tried to install on my GSM T-Mobile TP2. I'm curious to know are there any custom ROM's that do not have this issue.

Goto the messages tab of Sense/TouchFlo, then tap "All Messages" on bottom left, then tap "Menu" on bottom right, tap About.
EDIT: I'm using a T7381 (Telstra TP2) with HTC Stock European 2.07.401.1 WWE ROM
in my opinion the update didn't have the expected effect.
SMS is still very slow, eventually 2% faster that before...
hope they will release a fixed ROM that solves the main problems ...

Europe mirrors still appear down, but once I had put the .exe file in 'my documents' of the device, not sd card, soft reset and then run it, it worked.

Adding your device to profile / stats & owning history

Hi,
I think it would be really nice to have a ability to add the device you own to your profile. In this way it would be clear what everyone is using (as now often we don't even know when a dev moves on to another device), and we would have a history for each user owned devices and awesome stats showing how many users own (and how many previously owned) particular phone in each phone's section. I'am surprised something like this wasn't even implemented yet

[Q] Only Free Apps in Play Store

I have just received my M8 today and I have set it up fine however I can only see free apps in the Play Store - there are no paid apps anywhere.
Does anyone have a fix for this?
OT: How do you screenshot on an M8?
Screenshot press vol down and power at same time and hold.
Play store just select a category then top selling from the tabs above.

I don't as of yet as my bank account is overdrawn and it won't let me add it. I also thought this could be the reason.

Well it wouldn't authorise my card until I had money in my account however I still can't see paid apps...
Well I can't see or even filter between free and paid apps when I do a search. I can however see Top Free, Top Grossing etc if I swipe from left to right, tap on Store Home, then tap on apps and then swipe left once and choose photography from the Categories list, then it shows all, free, paid, top grossing etc.
Sucks that it doesn't show those filters when you're doing it as a search.
I've spoken with Google Support and they said it's because I live on the Isle of Man. I didn't have this issue with my last phone and none of my friends have this issue but the rep I spoke with is confident that is the reason.

Nah I doubt that's the issue, I live in South Africa and I could still do payments etc And South Africa is usually one of the countries that completely lose out when it comes to things like that, heck we don't even have proper paypal support for example.

It probably is. In terms of technology, living in the Isle of Man might as well mean living in the middle of nowhere. It's a complete joke.
I replied to the email the Google Support rep sent me after my phone call:
I think I have to be honest here; the issue was last updated over a year ago. Why does it look like Google has given this issue such little attention?
The Isle of Man is a constituent of the United Kingdom so I don't see any issues...
I feel like I've been left out to be honest, all because of where I live. This shouldn't be an issue yet it is and I don't quite understand what barriers are in place to stop some residents of the Isle of Man from purchasing paid apps. Could you please let me know the reason for this? Or could you please put me in touch with someone who can?

Interesting, I wasn't aware of that though. Obviously the problem isn't just PCs or Tablets like they mentioned in the articles seeing as the phone for the OP also has this issue.

Oh well, get on a PC, pop out that Tor browser and make google think you're in Finland. :cyclops:

I'm not really sure. Probably worth a shot.
I know using Tor can make google think you're from a different country than you're currently in but I don't know if the payment you'll do will work or not. You'll of course have to sign in to google and then buy it still, CC is probably on their system already.
Don't know if it'll work if you go through Tor(Let's say you're in the "UK" now "London") then signing up for a new google account and add your necessary info(Will credit card work still?) and then attempting to download it.
I haven't done it myself so I can't really confirm, haven't had this problem like you're having now but, who knows, it's maybe worth a shot.
it’s quite simple,
you hold down the power button for
a couple seconds and then you

Your best bet is the root the phone if you haven't done so already. Then install Xposed and this module. This has a function to unrestrict the Play store. Hopefully that will work.

nope.... Emui has a feature called private space... It lets you make two different accounts in your mobile with different data.... You can assign different fingers to access them..
For Example: if you open phone with finger 1 the main space will open with all your data... if you open phone with finger 2 then private space will open with completely different storage and settings of its own...
This feature is only for specific models of the Honor 7x. I had it on a LA (latin america) build but not on my US (usa/united states of america) build.

That sounds like an awesome app if you asked me! You use a different finger for getting different modes? What's not to like about that?(?)
I asked about something like this a long time ago and got nothing. I guess the Android OS is just setup for using one finger.......right?

Bro this has been a huawei/honor feature for a long time now.... It's just they don't provide it on budget devices... You can find it on Mate 10 Lite and all higher budget devices of Huawei/Honor.... Named PRIVATE SPACE
I stumbled upon something like this on my mate se the other day. I have my work profile on this device but it's not a managed device. This is easy, get the app "island", install and setup the island in the app...no need to setup the account or anything. Then go to settings > security & privacy > screen lock and passwords. Disable "Use the same lock method" under "Work profile" to setup your separate fingerprint.
