I'm searching after a possibility to lock my HD at startup, so if it will be stolen, no one can use the HD. Is there a way/prog?
The automatic lock after a time is not enough for me.
phone lock
Well its not exactly what you wanted but this software should solve the problem with security of your phone http://www.just-per4mance.com/ you just register your phone number into the software and when somen changes the sim card it automaticly sends you an SMS from that number and with some SMS codes that you send you can delete all contacts, SD Card or memory, you can trace the phone via GPS or you can get all the contacts of the user. And when you install it you wont be able to find it in programs or anywhere so nobody knows that youve got it, or you can easily go to police and lock the IMEI of your phone and its done. I hope this helped you a bit. Btw the final version of this software should be ready in 3weeks but the last release works just fine I tried it.
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. We recommend following us in Twitter for instant notifications at http://twitter.com/htc_eu
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.
I have switched from AT&T to Verizon so I could get a droid phone (HTC Incredible)so that it could sync/see and communicate with my viewsonicc g-tablet (droid). I successfully rooted phone and loaded MIUI ROM. So I gave up my Iphone (that 5yr old can work with and master) and now have a Droid HTC Incredible that needs a MIT grad in order just to make a call; a massive price to pay just to try and get free teathering hot spot (to work on Tablet)
Does anyone have anything that CAN EASILY sync Microsoft outlook, calendar, contacts, (at least). I have tried "Android manager" "HTC sync" (as expected) won't even recognize a phone is usb'd I have. But not tried clear sync, and missing sync???
NOTHING I have done has been easy or worked should I just got back to standard ROM and let HTC try to sync??? Does it really work?, I want to have one synced calender between my Work PC (outlook) and tablet, phone and a wifi hot spot phone for tablet to use?
My brain hurts and I have had it up to here with all this wasted time nonfunctional crap. PLEASE HELP

Fixed what you said in your post.
No but seriously just take your time and learn all of the features of the phone, if you rush into it you would just get annoyed more than you already are.
SYNC what works???
Thank you for your reply, I know it is more customizable so much so I can't make the simple choices that will get me the results that I must have to conduct life and business???? Quick, simple, functional, not jack with computer and phone for hours, days, and weeks ........ researching and customizing because I can?? I don't want toys! I need tools .........
Please advise, I want to have one synced calender between my Work PC (outlook) and tablet, phone and a wifi hot spot phone for tablet to use?
Hi!
Android should be able to support syncing contacts, calendar and mail over the air as long as you have the name of the exchange server. I found a step-by-step guide that I sent to you in a personal message because I'm to new to post outside links.
If you still want to sync via usb to your pc then try out some apps like DejaOffice from the Market.
Hope this helps
Hello everyone,
Before I start describing my problem I want to say that I did look over many threads and forums looking for a solution and I'm writing this as my last effort.
I have an htc wildfire S which is, well, broken since yesterday. I dropped it on the floor and the touch screen broke and is not responding although the phone does turn on. I got a new phone, also an android and I'm trying to transfer my contacts and messages from the old one to the new because, stupidly, I didn't back them up (yes, I know...).
The broken phone has enabled USB debugging although it is in "charge only" mode. It has also never been rooted.
I tried pulling contact2.db to sd card through adb command line but that didn't work since it returned "access denied." I also tried MyMobiler but I couldn't connect it to the phone.
Is there any way I can get these contacts and messages back?
Regards,
Jakub.

I am having the same issue did you got the solution how to backup the message.
Your contacts should be backed up to the google account you had, assuming you had it set up like that (its default)

Try Backuptrans Android SMS + MMS Transfer. It lets you backup messages from android to computer even with a broken screen.
Sooo I got the phone last Thursday and am using it on Verizon. I've had a few issues that I figured I'd throw a thread together incase anyone else has the same...
Known Issues that I have:
"GroupMe" application will not update unless I am in the application and clicking on a specific chat. - Worked on every other phone I have and cant even find anything on this subject on google. If someone sends a message in a chat it will not update or notify me. I have to click on the specific chat for it to update. I've reinstalled the app 3 times and cleared the cache. un-optimized it with battery settings, nothing is working.
Fixed Issues that I have:
Phantom vibration. - Almost like a notification is happening but nothing is showing on the screen. Cant figure out this one for the life of me. I even have a notification log downloaded and it just vibrates away with nothing being logged.
Found out it was Verizon Caller ID app. Apparently it keeps crashing and "starting" over and over again. I disabled notifications on it and the vibration went away!
MMS Cannot be received only sent. - I've gone through this extensively with Verizon support. Tried everything on another thread, switched out sim blah blah blah, finally they have opened a ticket with the engineers and will get back to me in 48 hours.
Works now in default app just not android messages......................................
Anyone else having any other issues?
That's disappointing that there are mms issues. MMS on the U11 using anything but the stock messaging app was a complete ****show. I hope you can get more bands than just 13 as well.

MMS works fine on my European un-locked (and rooted) U12+. Got one as late as yesterday... Using stock SMS app.

Someone on Android Central had Verizon block messaging and then re-add it for everything to work. Maybe worth a shot?
Same here... Unlocked US model. Send but not receive texts...
I've done the same, reset, new SIM, swapped Sims etc.
I'll take a look on AC and see if they have something there for a solution... Thanks for the heads-up. Glad I'm not alone.

I have found that Android messages app doesn't work as you can't select the preferred sim for messages. Having to use stock at the moment.
Somewhere in another thread, there was an adb command I think that set and enforced the default sim slot. Wonder if that would help with your issue, Nestacres? Sorry, I would search myself and link but just checking in on a quick break at work.

Android Messages isn't comiled for usage with Dual-SIM, as Google Nexus/Pixel phones are all Single-SIM devices. If you know how to use adb you cand do the following:
From adb shell run the following command
Code:
adb shell settings put global multi_sim_sms 1
This did the trick on the U11 DUGL as well, and Android Messages could be used and worked just fine. Thanks to @Electronic Punk for pointing that one out to me!
Soooo Got MMS to work on the default app and with Verizon Message +.... Android messages still does not work and that is something many others have said as well....
Very sad.

Pr3dict: did you do anything different other than what you originally posted? I've been on vacation since i got the U12 and haven't called Verizon. I can send everything, but not receive. I can pop the SIM and put it in my iPhone x and the texts just role in immediately...I really want to love this phone! Lol

It actually works great with dual sim, for some reason HTC left out the default SMS sim option out on Oreo (simply doesn't exist in settings.apk anymore) and only left the data one. Fortunately that fix is basically a fire and forget, once it sees a default it has no issue picking between them.
HTC handle it differently on phone and SMS as they have a button for each sim.

Yeah they handle it quite different. But let's see. Maybe we'll get an overhaul with Android P.

I did everything possible. Even got a new SIM... What seemed to do the trick (and was the last thing I did) was having Verizon block my messages and then unblock them.
Then I could send + receive. Beforehand I could only Send... But beware it does not work with Android Messages.

How did you first activate your phone? If it's not activated properly on Verizon it can fry your SIM card or cause things to not work.
I first swapped my SIM from my U11 and could not make calls but was able to use internet and send and receive text and mms. But just like the U11, I can only receive MMS on the stock apps like HTC messaging and Verizon message+. Cannot receive MMS on third party apps.
But the proper way to activate the U11 and U12+ is to first register your imei with Verizon then you have to transfer your SIM from a Verizon device that has advanced calling/VoLTE in the settings.
The U12+ does not have any Verizon advanced calling or VoLTE setting so if you just pop a new SIM in without first having it activated on a Verizon advanced calling device, it could cause problems and fry your SIM card.
It sucks but that is the best way to activate it.
Manually attached IMEI to SIM, and toggled messages/on/off on my account.
All is well and working for receiving SMS/MMS on stock messages! It worked immediately...
Thanks for the feedback and discussion everyone.

In my case, after updating (purely, after RUU) to v1.21.401.3 I have noticed a few times that after picking up the device and "squeezing" I should wake up, scan my face and unlock my smartphone (I have my preferences set) .
But just the few times after "squeezing" the device does not react at all, there is no vibration.
After the traditional unlocking (applying the finger to the fingerpront or pressing the POWER button) the smartphone wakes up properly.
This happens when the smartphone is not used for a long time (deep sleep?).
But this is not the rule.
I also had ONE total reboot.
On the other hand, the update did not improve in the first few months the best inflections of the volume up button (Vol +). Very often you have to press many times "to surprise", and pressing and holding it to turn up in series - is very difficult to achieve

Is anyone else having issues with the youtube app? Im finding it buggy. To be precise: if I start a video and then turn the phone landscape to go into fullscreen, if I then turn back the phone vertical and come out of fullscreen and then try minimise the still playing video it goes a bit haywire, parts of the screen goes grey and I can't minimise the video. Can any replicate?!

New issue thats bothering THE CRAP OUT OF ME!!!!
The phone isnt vibrating on incoming calls. I thought I just kept not feeling it or hearing it but nope, the phone literally turns the screen on and it just doesnt vibrate. I don't have battery saver on, and I don't have "Do not disturb" on. Its weird.

Discovered a slight work around since. It doesn't happen if you go in and out of fullscreen using little button in the bottom right. So it only happens with auto rotation.
