HTC sense - down for maintenence

Evening all


Everytime I log onto HTC Sense over recent months I get the same "down for maintenance" message. Surely it can't be down for all that time?

I think they've taken it offline completely so they sort. IF they ever sort it.

When you could log in, did you have all the functions available to you?
 
It works for me but this is all I see....

Hi EP

I hadn't logged in for a long time but as far as I recall nope I didn't.

It seems to have been down for months now; you'd wonder how long it takes to sort this out.

I've tried downloading myphoneexplorer on my laptop but I use Ubuntu and it doesn't seem to launch even though I've configured it with WINE. I need to back up my phone as I want to try a factory reset to try sort out my signal problems before I contact HTC. It's mainly my apps I'm concerned about as I can back up my contacts with google and my music etc on my SD card.

Any suggestions on how to back up my apps? Or should they auto re-install after the factory reset when I relaunch my accounts?

They're tied in with your google account so providing you link to the same account and they were all installed via the market, they'll download again. You'll lose all data associated with them unfortunately.

Astro has a backup option, but I'm not sure if you need to be rooted for it to work though?

When I factory reset it automatically re-installs them but I lose any progress that I have made in my games.

You're right....the one week it worked for me (Last October) I was able to view and manage my text messages as well as send them via HTCSense.

If I remember there was 4 maybe 5 screens:

Locate Phone
Locations
Contacts
SMS Messagges


My advice to anyone is give the free version of Lookout Mobile Security a try. It does most of what HTC sense said it could and it protects your phone at the same time.
 
Sending messages from the website works, but it doesn't always send it straight away. I took 8 hours when I tried it in January.

This screen print was taken just now. Sorry its so dark. The webpage dims when you open the "New message" box
