Hi guys, loving the sensation xl minus one thing. The panoramic mode on the camera. The problem is I press start, it goes green, but when I try to move it to the next stop, it freezes or moves a bit then gets stuck. I can only stop this by moving the phone really quickly but this results in badly stitched photos. Anyone else having this problem? Seems like HTC didn't really finish the feature and just put it in at the last minute.

No problems with mine. Have you tried factory reset? If so, and the problem still exists, return it as faulty.
Tried f/r. I've heard other people complain about this. I'm going to contact HTC. No doubt they'll be as useless as ever

Not had that problem on mine, then again I made a schoolboy error when taking a shot and brought the camera closer screwing up the pic
If you need good Panorama then i suggest JB Camera+ from market very easy to use and Panorama works perfectly in my phone and it takes very good photos also
Hello All,
I just received my HTC XL in the post this morning - what a beauty!
I am experiencing some issues with my SMS messaged I am hoping someone on here can help me with. Some information that may help:
*I am using the standard messaging app
*My contacts were synced from google
Problem: When someone send me a text message its displayed like this:
Bill (M +61 4672 .... ) Hey how are you
Why does it show that its the mobile number then displays the mobile number? This is really strange and doesn't need to be there. I have look on the display options on the phone and not seen any option to disable this. What is even more strange that it only happens with certain numbers so other messages come out like i would expect them too
Jane: How are you
Anyone else experienced this? I have looked at the contacts to see if it was the way i was storing them, both of them listed at Mobile, and both had the international code in front +61
finally, I am aware people recommend handcent and other messaging apps - at the moment i would like to stay away from that and try to get this working.
I have tried going into google contacts and making sure the numbers are assigned to “Mobile” or “Home” Making sure all my numbers are consistent i.e +61 and no spaces. Still no luck. It is so annoying as I know it’s a little change I have to make as it works for some contacts
any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
It shows the number because Bill (to use your example) has more than one phone number stored in his contact. The messaging app therefore shows you which number the conversation is with.
Jane obviously only has one number in her contact, so it doesn't need to tell you which number you have sent it to, because she only has one.
this is how it works on mine, anyway.
People can have many numbers, and you can send SMS messages to landlines as well these days (well, in some places) so it is beneficial to know which phone you are sending messages to.
If i were to send an SMS to my friend with a very offensive joke, I doubt he'd be too happy if I sent it to his work mobile, that his company have full access to, so it's good to know I'm sending it to his personal number instead.
Don't worry, it's not playing up or doing anything wrong, it's doing exactly what it is supposed to.
Hi Mate, Thanks for the reply.
I think its a buf of some sort with the default message app. I understand what you are explaining but this should not be normal behavior - when I go to select someone (e.g Bill) it should prompt me for which number i want to text (i.e home or work)
Anyway - i have looked through the phonebook and this happens when someone just has a mobile number and no other numbers. Funnily enough if i enter a new contact using the phone (and even adding several numbers) it works as normal (just showing the name followed by the message) so most of the contacts that have come through on google sync has this problem - i think this is where the issue comes from.
any other ideas? does it work on yours?
Cheers
All my contacts come from google also. But mine does as i explained above. if the contact has more than one number saved to the name, it shows which number the text was received from.
If the contact only has one number saved to their name, it just shows their name.
Can't say i've ever noticed it do any different. Pretty sure my previous HTC phones with Sense did the same, but can't say i ever paid that much attention to it. I receive the messages, so afaik it is working properly.
I have a different problem. My sxl doesn't seem to receive messages anymore at all. I tried to send myself messages as it was bizarre that I didn't receive messages anymore but nope. They don't get to me. I got a rooted phone though didn't play around too much. Anybody knows how to get rid of this problem???
you tried a different SIM? Just to rule out the network having an issue?

Thanks for the quick reply.
It is definitely not consistant as I have just checked again and it only happens with some of the numbers. This is the 3rd HTC phone I have had and its never been like this.
For me, showing the number on the text conversation is useless - when your SMSing someone you will almost always use their mobile.
anyway thanks for assisting - i will try digging around for the solution. I really dont want to use handcent or any other sms app as they tend to slow it down!
Unfortunately my phone has a sim lock. I conntacted my provider (am in France w Orange as carrier) and they told me from their site everything's ok, I doubt it though as my sms don't arrive. Ruined my weekend that sh**.... I tried a different sms app (go sms pro) didn't work either.

I noticed in an earlier post you said it was rooted?
Did SMS work before the root or did you not check?
Maybe go back to stock as using a RUU replaces the radio. Not that this should be affected, but it's always good to go back to the start and work forward
It worked fine being rooted w/o any problems. I think this started a couple if days ago, the phone though was rooted for some time now but yea maybe I should go back to basics... I wish I could avoid that though.

No probs. Are any of the contacts linked to other sources like FB, Plurk, Twitter, SIM, etc?

If it's locked, do any of your family or friends have an orange FR SIM you can try just for 5 minutes?
See if their SIM will receive SMS while in your Phone. If their SIM works and yours doesn't, then thats a pretty conclusive proof it's a F-up on your SIM.
Unfortunatley, then it's back to arguing with Orange to get someone to accept this and look into it.

Maybe just try a clean install of the ROM you are using first. That may solve it, if you haven't done that already.

Well, its definitely not a sim card problem. I will try to reinstall my Rom maybe its going to change. Point is I can send msgs w/o problems and when people send me msgs their delivery report sais I received them, they just don't show up in my msgs. Fingers crossed that flashing a new Rom will make it work...

Hi guys, Ive just sold my xperia play and bought a sensation xl. There is only one thing bugging me about this phone, is there a way to stop rosie from continually scrolling? my last HTC (the DHD) had a bounce back effect when you reached the first and last screen, rather than just continually scrolling in a circle. is there a way to force this version of sence to act the same way?

Unless you use a customer launcher from the market you won't be able to stop it. That's the only way I know.

Custom, not customer haha.
Hope you enjoy the handset
I find the Zoe function of the Camera very interesting. Don't know yet, if I am going to go for the HTC One so I wonder if the function is portable to other devices (by some crafty XDA-dev)?

Since it is a HTC function, it will probably require the HTC framework etc so I would say unlikely. No one has ever successfully ported the HTC rosie or any HTC app to another ROM without porting the whole thing.
I am sure someone will come up with something similar one day
Sorry to ruin your hope
Does anyone know if there is a rom with stock android AND HTC camera app? Or is it even possible?
If you know of such thing, please do share! :angel:
Unfortunately the camera, like most apps, are deeply tied into the framework. If I could get Zoe, highlights and that stuff on AOSP I would switch in a heartbeat.
But in a ray of good news Hugo said that they were working with HTC on a solution... so hopefully the stock Android experience will benefit from Samsung and HTC

Thanks for the reply, I will wait patiently.
But do you think they will comply? I mean, Zoe is one of the selling point of HTC One, I can't imagine they'll give that up.
