[Q] Visual Voicemail NG After 3.14 Update

I recently updated my ROM to 3.14 and now my visual voicemail isn't working. Any ideas? It says it can't connect, try again later...

still investigating....

no work for me either and facebook won't refresh either...
Edit... forget it... facebook app still no refresh

I'm having the same problem, spent about an hour with their PDA department and was told it was being escalated and I should hear something within the next 3 days.....

Quick update, according to T-Mobile the issue has been logged as of the 30th of October as a nationwide issue and "they are working on the problem." Personally, I love the form of the HD2 and there are things about Winmo that I really like but I have had a number of issues with the phone and software to the point where I'm going to look at the new My touch 4G and go back to Android exclusively. Its not the Desire HD I was hoping T-Mobile was going to bring but it should keep me satisfied for 6 months or so.

Where have my SMS gone?

Hi all,
My SMS messages have just 'gone'! I had quite a few in there and I didnt restart the phone or anything strange, went back in to reply to one I recevied earlier and there is nothing in there!!
Happened to anyone? Have they really gone or can I get them back somehow. I have a backup, but its from a while back...
Anyone?
Thanks...

This forum should have a sticky thread for this... Just do a quick search and you'll find the relevant info. Short answer: it affects all Android phones and there is no fix, backup your SMS messages for an inevitable restore.

Thanks for answer, although if I had someone to moan to i'd have to quote my favourite 'This is not satisfactory!'
They (Android) can't just allow SMS's to dissappear! They must be going somewhere!!
Someone must know somethign about this by now?...

What's happening is there's a glitch in the sms app which can cause the messages database to become corrupt, rather than try to repair the database, Android, just deletes it.

I've never had this with any of the five Android phones I've owned using the default SMS app. I did once try Handcent on the Hero and all my messages disappeared after deleting a thread but after uninstalling and rebooting they came back.
Were you using the default sms app?
I also recommend Sprite Backup which can back up whatever you need daily either to SD Card or cloud storage provider (I use Dropbox).

just happened to me twice this month after being problem free ever since i bought it in December 2010. At 1st i thought it was because I had too many smses. About 5000. Then the 2nd time it happened...just now..only a few hundred messages. It sucks that there is no fix!

Are you using a 3rd party SMS app (downloaded app)?
Are you using htcsense.com? <-- Known Issue, see sticky.

Please search before you make a new thread.

It's a bug in Froyo, i used to keep having all my messages randomly disappear.
The solution is either keep daily backups using an app like "SMS Backup & Restore" or upgrade to Gingerbread

Valid point but...
And actually I don't believe this is a Froyo bug. If it was a generic issue with Froyo then there'd be a lot more and as I pointed out in that thread, 3rd party apps were used. The htcsense.com sync was also shown to be buggy - HTC themselves admit it's a work in progress.

Unfortunately there are a handful of instances where this is the case. I still don't believe it's a Froyo bug, more just occasional glitches in some handsets.
I really don't mean any disrespect and I'm sorry you're having this issue. Hopefully GB will fix it for you (because the "glitch" will be over-written, just as re-flashing a Froyo stock RUU would probably do to *back peddles quickly*).
[EDIT] Just saw you're other post; Seems GB did fix it.
Damn these multiple threads...

No worries. There probably is more than one thing that's causing it, i was just saying for me it was just a bug in Froyo.
& yeah Gingerbread fixed it and all the other problems i was having

This topic was started in January, it's not new, just been revived by someone.
I had my SMS messages wipe twice last weekend alone! I use a backup tool now thank-god, which stores my messages in GMail. Dead easy to restore.
Just upgraded to 2.3 also yesterday, will see if this helps.

quick Zune question - need help please

only had my DVP for a day and its my first windows phone.....
i have subscribed to the zune service paying each month for the service...i thought this would give me the eqivilant to spotify that i had on my android device However, when i click on albums to either stream or download (from the handset) it asks me if i want to buy...i thought i was paying a subscription for free unlimited streaming or download same as spotify.
can anyone advise me please
also is it possible to get spotify on my phone
thanks

I think you have to tap and hold on the album/song to get a download option, here's a video: http://www.wpcentral.com/how-get-zune-pass-work-on-the-go-windows-phone-7.
As for Spotify, that was announced as coming with Mango but not sure which countries.

When I hold the only option I get is to buy the item. Seems odd considering I am paying for it.

That sounds like your zune pass subscription is not active. Are you logged in with the email associated with your Zune pass?

When you setup your phone, the login must be the same one used for Zune. Not the second or third...the first.
If you have done it any other way you must hard reset and start over.
If the phone login is the same as your Zune login and it does not work, call Zune support to help you.

thanks for your help
the problem was that i had signed into zune on my phone with a different account to the one on my computer.
very annoying though that the only way to resolve it was to completley format the phone and start over again....lucky i guess that i have only had it a few days.
thanks to all of you who had helped me to sort it though.
i am sure there maybe a few other questions i need help with also..

Annoying? This is the way it has been since day one. Its mentioned in the startup guide. Efjay pointed you to the video. All the MS documents online point to this. All the Zune docs point to this. For problems of this nature, how to's, keep WindowsPhone.com in mind. Phone setup, configurations snd how to documentation is great. XDA is great for the more difficult problems.

Sorry for raising a thread on what was clearly quite 'simple' issue to some...it was annoying the gell out of me! I pay as a 'premium' user on here and wanted to make use of all the great knowledge on here rather than trawl the internet or spend hours on the phone. I will however come up with a more challenging problem fir you next time=P
Thanks anyway

Don't be like that. Annoying and Challenging are 2 different things. XDA is a great source of issues, resolutions, work arounds, and challenging problems. On XDA you will find great ideas, fun experiences, and, a sound kick in the butt if you don't do your research before posting a problem. If you search and do NOT find what you're looking for, there are dozens of people ready to help. But....if you do not do the search before posting....there are dozens of people ready to remind you of that before they help.
Thats just the way it is...and it makes no difference if you're a premium user, or just a bum like me. The same rule applies for us all.
How MS, or any other company, designs their solutions, is always open to debate. Annoying and irritating simply cloud the issue. Android and Apple require a login on their phone for their services. If you do not use the same or correct login, you will not get your apps restored, or access to many of the histories saved with those services....to include backup and restore, and Music. Thats just the way it is. XDA premium users have little influence on those design methods.
Sorry if I offended you with my reply. That was not my intent. Reminding you that a little research would have allowed you to find the answer, and see that the resolution was not clouded, hidden, or designed to cost you a premium subscription to XDA, was my only point. If you're annoyed at the way things are...I'm afraid there is not a reasonable resolution available on these forums.
BTW..how does one become a premium subscriber to XDA?

your response seemed a little 'sharp' and in my opinion was not really necessary...i received good advice on here, it solved my problem, and i thanked those concerned.
By 'premium' i mean i pay for the app to support the cause and not just use the free downloaded one
Anyways moving on....

Point made.

I actually had almost the same problem for a while, although a hard reboot seemed to fix it.

HTC Locations seems a pretty flaky app .

I actually like Locations. Sure it lags a bit, but it saves your wallet if you're planning on going out of your country for a couple of days.

it maybe flakey, but the almost instant load is a cracking feature

Try clearing data, and redownloading the update again.
On another note, do try the latest version of Google Maps, with some of the labs addons (map downloads etc). Traffic updates work amazingly well with it, it's the best sat-nav I've ever had (apart from the fact that it doesn't know many one-way roads too well!)

It is not a good deal use HTC Location
It is not a good deal use HTC Location. If you plan to change you cell phone to a new one, don't buy any htc location license. The htc location license uses the cell phone IMEI. So, if you change your phone, you lose your licenses.
I talked with HTC about that... and they answered:
"If you changed to another phone, you need to buy the license again.. We are so sorry for your inconvenience. Actually there are some 3rd party GPS software on Android Market. You can have a look at them first."

Try using HTC Sync to update Locations to the latest map versions. Worked fine for me

Google Music Deauthorization Limit

Not sure how many of you have seen this on XDA today, but Google has started limiting you to four device deathorizations per year for Google Music. Normally, not such a big deal, but when you flash a ROM twice a week and have to authorize your phone that often, you will be unable to activate Google music on new ROMs until next year.
Here's the main thread in the Gnex forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=26145534
And here's a petition they started about halfway through the thread: http://www.change.org/petitions/goog...rization-limit
I posted this in the Rezound forums, too. Just trying to get everyone aware of this. I don't want to switch to Amazon MP3.

Just signed the petition.

Can you explain this deauthorization? I flash quite a bit but I don't think I've ever run into that.
As a sidenote, even though I'm still not sure what this limitation is, I wouldn't be too surprised if they'd reset it for you if you ask... kinda like how if you activate a Windows license too many times you have to call them up and say "Yes, it's always been on the same computer" and they'll let you activate. It may just require contacting Google every so often to get a reset (now that Google's Play services actually have customer service)

Each new rom you flash and install/run google music will count as a different DEVICE on your authorized device list.
Aka 10 rom flashes and google music installs = 10 different devices on your account.
They add up rather quickly when you're a flashaholic like me lol

Google temporarily suspends its deactivation practice in search of a better solution:

Hmmmm. I'm sure you flash more than I do but I know I've flashed much more than 10 times and I've never seen that. Perhaps Titanium Backup plays a part?
Either way, it seems the point is moot now according to slimsnoop's new link... Isn't it great when a company listens to the consumer

Sorry about that. Google did remove the limit, though, so not much use in fixing it now.
