[Q] HTC Location doesn't work - HTC Incredible S

Whenever I flip my homescreen to Location, a warning message appears:
The Locations files on your storage card are either missing or outdated. Tap to download the latest files from the server
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I 've tried all 3 buttons below that message, and both of them take me to "Installing Locations" screen with some info and a button "Cancel download" below, however, my phone does nothing when I touch it
So I wonder, is there anyway to download maps/install location or use HTC Location?
<I'm using manufacturer's ROM, upgraded to Android 2.3.5 with Sense 3.0, my phone hasn't been rooted yet>

I had the same problem on the stock ROM, don't know the solution.

Help 2.1 root!!!

Im some what of a newb here but I follow directions well. So I attempted to root my CDMA Hero after the 2.1 upgrade. I followed all the steps but when it says go to the tray bar and you will see superuser permissions I never do! its really aggravating because i have tried over 10 times by now. please help
Are you looking in the Notification Bar on top (you pull this down to open it) or the Application Tray from the bottom (press the button with a triangle inside the circle)? The Superuser Permissions app should be in the Application Tray.

Which upgrade?
If you ran the most recent RUU from the sprint site, it is already patched against root. You have to run the older version.
Go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572
Scroll down to Regaw's second post and click on the link that says, "My Personal One I used for testing"
Run THAT Ruu.......THEN proceed to root via his instructions at the beginning of the post.
Good Luck.
P.S. Your software number must be 2.27.651.5
If it has a .6 at the end, you can't root
it is actually in with the other apps the ^ button
thanks!
Thanks alot! I now own a perfectly rooted HTC Hero!

If you downloaded the Sprint Update OTA after upgrading to 2.1 you will need to run the original 2.1 RUU then root.
switched
I switched the 2.1 software to the one that ends in .5 instead of .6
I had the same issue then realized that it was due to me being on the newer 2.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone to flash to the older one. I keep getting connection errors!!!
I heard a lot of it was due to windows 7 but people posted about the new htc sync that is windows 7 compatible is suppose to work. I have that yet i still get connection errors, and unfortunately i don't have any computer with an older os on it!

Alright, I was able to solve my problem!
If you are getting a connection error just after phone reboots and attempts to go into boot loader try this:
1. Turn off phone
2. Boot into boot load by holding "Volume Down" and "Middle Scroller" and then push and hold down "Power/End Call" - you will be in boatloader when you see three skateboarding "dudes"
3. Push "Volume Up" to enter fastboot (usb) - you will see the top item on the menu say fastboot if you ARE NOT in it already
4. leave phone on and in bootloader and then start the RUU update and all should work!
This is what worked for me with my issue, hopefully it will help someone out - i know i was getting stressed out about it.
And sorry for posting in this thread for my issue.

eViL-NXSense-v.1.13.1

Hey guys. I tried asking these questions on the official thread of this Rom but somehow my post is getting lost in the tons of pages which are accumulating everyday So here are my questions :
y2jamit said:
Alright folks. I finally managed to move from CM6 stable to NXSense. Before moving from CM 6, I partitioned my SD card using Rom manager with a partition of 512 MB & a swap of 32 MB.I managed to install version eViL-NXSense-v.1.13.1. However after that eViL-Q&D-NXSense-v.1.14.1 was released. So I downloaded that first from the 4shared link. I tried to install the new ROM from Rom Manager using the wipe option. However when the phone goes into recovery it shows formatting blah blah blah and then phone doesn't install the 1.14.1 Rom and reboots and gets stuck on the Google cross logo.
I managed to restore back to 1.13.1 from the back up that I had made. Now instead of using the Rom Manager I booted into recovery and tried to use the install from SD card option. This time the phone started copying files and showed that twice. After this I get the following huge error:
E: Can't symlink /system /customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
E: Failure at line 27:
symlink/data/local/bootanimation.zip
SYSTEM : customize/resource/bootanimation.zip
Installation aborted.
I had to once again resort back to my backup. Can anyone help me out this issue?
After all this I even tried to install 1.13.1 from the recovery using the install from sd card option and apparently this also gave me the exact same bootanimation error. So I guess both the zips are ok. not sure what else could be going wrong.
Also even after flashing networkfix on 1.13.1, the market still struggles to work. It shows loading for some time and then gives an option to retry. However if I try to search for any application or go to downloads, the market starts working normally. Can anyone also provide a fix for this problem?
I really want to use this as my default rom because I am in love with it Excellent work Evil !!! Just want to sort out these issues.

In addition to the above mentioned post, I wanted to add that I now also have a2sd enabled after running the commands from terminal emulator. What is the simplest way to update from 1.13.1 to a higher version? Also when loading market for the first time, the GPRS connection disappears and comes back in like a minute. Why is this happening? When using Trackball Alert Pro the patch option says compatible rom not found but the alerts are working fine When using wi-fi hotspot and default options, it is not getting turned on although 3G shows in the top left corner. Do I have manually change any settings.
I would be highly grateful if anyone can resolve all or any of my queries. I am absolutely exhausted in asking these queries in the official thread and reading through tons of pages just to see my query being buried.
Thanks in advance guys.
Alright guys I managed to install 1.14.1 successfully by doing a full wipe first using instructions from this fabulous thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747381 Although this thread is for myTouch 3G Slide, the basic instructions are the same for Nexus One. You just have to use the trackball to select an option. This is exactly what I was looking for I am sure many newbies like me who don't know what a full wipe is, will learn a lot from this magnificent thread. Thank you kingofyo1
Now I still don't understand why the patch option in Trackball Alert Pro shows the rom is not compatible even though basic version is officially provided with the rom. Anyway the alerts work, so I am not going to waste any more time on it.
Even in eViL-Q&D-NXSense-v.1.14.1, when I first open market, my GPRS connection disappears and comes back in like 20-30 seconds. After that market works really well. Anyone has a solution for this?
Also Wi-Fi hotspot still doesn't turn on using default settings. Do I have to manually choose any settings?
Can anyone shed some light on the above mentioned questions?

How can I make 'Get more HTC Widgets' to work?

I'm currently running Regaw_Mod 2.1 and the "Get more htc widgets" isnt working. Every time I try to download more widgets I get an error, that says
"Unable to download htc widgets, tap again to download"

It's not going to happen. There is no fix. Get yourself a more recent ROM, if you're looking for something like Regawmod, which used to be my favorite, try Fresh or NFinite's optimized stock ROMs.

[Q] Cannot Access Android Market

Hi all,
I'm a newbie here. Also, I'm from Turkey so execuse me for my English.
I've a problem on my rooted Incredible S. I'm using latest Trinity SensationXL rom.
After flashing, I set up all the accounts (HTC Sense, Google, Facebook and Evernote). They work fine except Google. When I try to access Android Market, I'm getting "No connection" error. There's a button named "Try Again" but clicking it does nothing, same screen shows up. Sometimes Market opens but I cannot install any app.
I've tried these:
1) Re-syncing by Settings->Accounts and Sync->Google->Sync Now.
It couldn't perform. Shows me an error: "Syncing has some problems. It'll be back soon." The last date successfully synced is the date I've flashed the new rom.
2) Backing up and restore.
I had a backup after 3 days of flashing via CWM. Restoring this backup gives me nothing.
Please help.
Thx in adv.

Of course I did. But nothing changes.
As I said: Sometimes it comes, sometimes doesn't.
Now I'mm trying the same thing over wi-fi, no problem now.
This means that the problem comes from 3G connection, I think.

[Q] help!! ***stuck in recovery entry screen***

HI Guys,
Im facing a problem with mobile(HTC one) which unknowingly came into hands of one of my friend. Seeing the problem he gave it to me and I am shocked to see the problem.
The problem is phone doesn't boots and it goes straight into recovery mode when power button is pressed. The big problem is its not giving me recovery options but it shows some sort of loading bar with an unpacking logo and that's it nothing happens anymore. If I switch it on with powerON+ volume down button, it goes to factory mode and there it has no options regarding cache wipe or recovery.. I can see only some inbuilt tests such as wifi, bluetooth, headset, camera etc...
So, What I can understand is someone tried to install custom ROM without doing s-off or enabling USB debugging. In tht stuck recovery screen, ADB in my PC is unable to detect the device (or) my HTC drivers are not good but I tried ADB reboot using various HTC drivers from sync to BMP but of no use. Please see the attached ZIP file which contains all the pics of the phone with screens
Coming to phone specs, it looks and feels like Original HTC ONE dual sim phone which was launched in Asian sub continent by HTC. It has 1600 mAh battery which is something weird as minimum battery is 2300mAh in present HTC One phones.
So, what can be done on this phone to make it useful? Can I flash a kernel and install custom ROM? If possible, what are the steps?? Pls, help me here...

The word One on the front and the bootloader screen and the battery all add up to Fake. Software in these forums will not help you
