Not sure what you are talking about, where is this text, are you using an application etc etc

the text is just coming as a normal text mess when I open it it is coming from number 5555. I have gotten about 8 of these today and in some of them the phone numbers of all of the other people in my ptt contact list are in some of the lines thansk

[shogunmark]

that number is for PTT.. i used battery status call log to find this.. when you log in to PTT, add contacts, etc its all done via sms to 55555. its odd that you are showing these text though as its suppose to be transparent. What i would guess is happening is when one of your PTT contacts changes their status it pushes an sms from 55555 to your phone so it will update their status on your phone... out of curiosity are you using sleuth's PTT fix?

no I have not anything to the phone I need PTT to work on the very badly as I can use it for work untill it works and I just have a high priced PDA I have the new ROM on my computer but I am a newbi and am a little scard to install thanks for the help what do you think I should do?

since it doesnt seem like you are going to go to the extremes that most of us do with our phones then just flash the new rom using the exe so you get the whole package instead of bits and pieces like the others.

I am not wanting to nothing big. I like how the other parts of the phone work I just need the push to talk to work thanks

then just run the exe for the upgrade! i flashed the whole package using the exe and my ptt works... if you have already flashed it and still having issues then flash it again.... Also if you used an app such as SPB backup or Sprite back up and tried to back up all your apps from a previous rom then you might be having issues.. i would suggest flashing this rom and install everything again manually.. Rule of thumb, never use a backup from an old rom on a new rom

I just got the phone day brfore yesterday and have not put any apps on it so it just as it came form HTC

if its not the new rom that was leaked here then it dont have the ptt app on it.. you will need to flash the new rom

[steven814]

I have the newest one the 2.06 rom is there any problems that you see in me flashing this rom? I use this phone just as a phone, ptt and pda and maybe email thanks for all that you and the rest of yall do on this site thanks again

I downloaded it from the xda wiki site that had all of the rom's and I have read all of the wiki on the upgrade
