there try this. Sprint have CDMA towers but for some reason the Hero comes outta the box programmed to connect to GSM. just follow that thread exactly and you might see a difference

Root the phone and flash the new radio over. Definitely bumped up my signal strength.

in the thread above instead of changing it to cdma auto prl try evdo only that really helped my bandwith speeds my speeds jumped from 450kbs down 325kbs up to 1400kbs down and around 800kbs up also im using version .9.4 of kfinos tweak witch gets me the biggest data boost:)

u can get to the evdo settings by dialing *#*#4636#*#*
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
Bad idea.

(1) If switching to EVDO-only mode made your data faster, it probably* means that Sprint doesn't offer EVDO in your area; so now you're data-roaming on whichever provider has it in your area (probably Verizon). This is fine for a while, but if you use too much data this way for several months, Sprint can and will cut off your service.

(2) Forcing EVDO on all the time is going to be a battery hog, especially if the phone wasn't using it before for some reason.

(3) If you end up in an area with poor coverage, you may lose data altogether instead of falling back to 1xRTT.

*I said PROBABLY. Check Sprint's website to see your local coverage.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fowenati:
What Jason said and also Kifno has much much improved v1.4 version up right now (soon to be 1.5)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
ive always had decent 3g in my area that just made it way better though and it dosnt say im roaming and they will call you if your roaming to much but they will never charge you atleast thats what i was told at a sprint tech store awhile back

im on nfx stock sprint rom right now and awhile back i remember i called customer care and they actually told me about the data codes sense i was rooted and i already had my msl number. what the person said i could try originaly is dial ##3282# and go evdo and change it to hdr only witch truely forces evdo only however u cant recive texts or calls but u can send them so thats only usuefull if your tethering. also they told me to dial *18 send and that will automaticlly connect u to the nearest cell tower.

man i cannot spell without autocorect lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fowenati:
Funny, a couple years back I was charged an ungodly amount because I was roaming on a trip and my friend used my phone to talk to his gf on a 15 day trip
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:
Sprint used to charge for roaming on some plans, but all of the plans on which you can activate a Hero include free nationwide roaming.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fowenati:
Oh, that’s awesome. Does this include the Family Unlimited Data and Unlimited Mobile-Mobile one too? If so this will help me a lot with calls from my school/house.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonmaloney:

[Venue Pro General] kr33mo:
Here is what I miss from Windows Mobile - being able to adjust the audio level separately for different functions. On the DVP, if I turn down the ringer volume then it also affects the audio level for any music/video players (i.e. Zune and Neflix). I find this very annoying.

If I recall, WinMo had profile settings and WMP had its own volume control. Is this a Microsoft thing or a Dell issue? Anyone know of a work-around or a fix that may be coming?

Thanks.
[Venue Pro General] pessimistic observer:
its a wp7 issue from what i understand there is a homebrew app out there that allows for the adjusting of all the different volume levels though it requires a developer unlocked phone

[Touch Pro2 CDMA] mookiemoo:
i recently discovered someone has been having access to my text messages on their desktop. they know who i chatted with and what was discussed. i am on the sprint network. does anyone know how this is possible? is there something i should look for on my phone that would show a program running on it? would a hard reset resolve this issue?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
Does your phone sync with Microsoft MyPhone?
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] msnuser111:
The only ways I know of that would make this possible are that your phone is syncing with activesync on their computer,or its syncing with an exchange server that they have access to.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] Slipdoozy:
hi there are a few apps that "forward SMS's" depends on which phone you have... windows mobile have them called "sms spy" or something close to that plus "sms forwarder"... good luck android have a few too cant think of any off the top of my head. lil research goes along way -ttyl
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] roudiare:
All your text messages go through Sprint. If your buddy has an unethical connection at Sprint then he could get access that way. Contact Sprint and let them know; if being run through an employee then you might be able to get someone fired.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ShowYouHow:
Ick

I would try reflashing a stock rom (in case there is malware)

Change your MyPhone password for before resyching (in case they're seeing texts there)

Avoid using WiFi in any are he is locating. (in case something is being caught in network traffic)

Run without extra apps (to rule out a rogue app)

See if you can text without him noticing.

Good luck
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] ryannathans:
I highly doubt they are accessing your messages through sprint.

Reflash a nice new ROM from this site, eliminating the installed 'spy program'.

Change passwords to everything.

Wifi should be fine to use, regardless, if it is SMS it doesn't enter the wifi network, and as far as I know winmo doesn't use NetBios.

Only install apps from this site, trusted websites and the marketplace. Nothing he/she can change or edit or made.

You will be fine after this.
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] disco_y2k:
2 easy ways i know of....

1. if you sync to a server like say your work or personal email account, unless you SPECIFICALLY SET IT NOT TO it sync's EVERYTHING! calls, text msgs, contact list EVERYTHING!

2. if i were to get ahold of your esn and mdn/msid and cloned a phone to your account i would get txt sent to you as well

there is other ways but that is the easiest 2 ways, hope that help bro :)

I would be choking some peole out

Yea... first thing's first whoever is snooping on your ish... fire them, cut that nosy bastard out of your life, you're better off without them. If you're a kid and it's your parents, then none of this applies. Everyone's advice before hand, take it and change any other passwords to anything else they could have even .00001% chance of accessing.

I don't know the exact names but there are services available for insecure scumbags who'se lives are so sad they have to go snooping around like that. If you can gather proof of an information breach you can then press charges on them. Read a story a few weeks ago about someone who "broke" into his wife's gf's email and found out she was fkn around on him, he's now facing years in the slammer for it.

Even creepier than that is the echelon system... look it up

I'm using revolutionary with the htc glacier and I flashed the latest clockworkmod yet I'm unable to backup my current rom. My phone reboots and that is all. Please, I need help because I'm looking to run cy7 or MIUI but not willing to lose my current information. Let me know of any alternative methods.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidboy850:
Well I rooted my thunderbolt yesterday and today I was going to try to install a ROM but for some reason I can't do it.

I'm using rom manager. I flashed the clockworkmod recovery. Then I went to backup my current rom and the phone restarts then just goes straight to the boot loader where I only have a few options.

Hboot

Power down etc...

What am I doing wrong?

When I tried yesterday I got a little farther and went to install the rom and the same thing happened. No recovery or options to install off SD.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
There is no option for recovery?

If not, go back into rom manager, settings, and check erase recovery. Then flash CM Recovery again (the top option on rom manager) and it should fix the problem for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidboy850:
Tried that:

I get HBOOT

FASTBOOT

RECOVERY

FACTORY RESET

SIMLOCK

HBOOT USB

IMAGE CRC

I go select recovery and the phone restarts briefly and I get FASTBOOT USB

BOOTLOADER

REBOOT

REBOOT BOOTLOADER

POWER DOWN

No other options.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
I would flash back to stock and root again, maybe something didn't take right the first time.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
Maybe go to the thunderbolt chatroom on IRC and see if people can help you there. Unless someone else here knows what to do. But i never heard of a problem like that. :(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidboy850:
I think I might have figured out the problem.

After I go to install the ROM it brings me to the bootloader. Under the pink ***security warning*** I'm showing

MECHA XD SHIP S-ON

I thought S was supposed to be off? Does the root for Mac not do S off?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g00s3y:
That is not good at all I believe. You should go to the chat ASAP, I think you have to restore your system to stock and then root again. You aren't supposed to be showing the pink ***Security Warning*** and you should also be S-OFF.

EDIT: Just saw you were on a mac, I don't have one so any instructions on MAC specifics I wouldn't be able to tell you, sorry.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidboy850:
Any tutorials for going back to stock on a mac? I saw a regular unroot procedure but it said push the image and exploits and I'm not sure what push means. I also don't have ADB or anything on my phone so can I still do it?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nosympathy:
ADB would be in your computer. If you used a simple root process, then you will have to learn ADB to fix your issue.

the solution is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1009423

Next, push exploits.zip and misc.img. What is push?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidboy850:
I go into terminal to do adb push misc.img /data/local/ and it says adb: command not found.

Where do the unroot files have to be? I'm still confused how I can be rooted with S on?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punchemcface:
I would say experiment if you know what you're doing (how to flash, understand the risks, etc.)

If you don't like the changes, it's as simple as re flashing your current rom to go back to that kernel that's built in.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mantara:
Clemsyns new kernel is best for VEGAn beta 5.1.1. It fixes sleep death issues and has other speed and stability tweeks. Trust me on this. I stayed stock kernel for a long time but about a week ago clemsyn spent 3 days constantly testing and upgrading his kernel. Its great and really kicks net performance up a notch.

Hope that helps :-)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
I'm pretty sure that Vegan 5.1 actually includes one of Pershoot's kernels.

It may be a somewhat older one though.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roebeet:
I would recommend a custom kernel. Performance increases and CIFS support alone makes it worth the time and effort to add one.

I don't add them to TNT Lite, to keep it within the "mostly stock" spirit. But I link to two custom kernels because I think they are worth trying.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pershoot:
vegan 5.1 uses an old kernel build by rothnic.

vegantab (gingerbread), which is based off of cm7, uses an old kernel by myself.

You do know what overclocking can do to system stability right?

Use SetCPU to lower your phone's maximum processor speed to whatever your phone is stable at. Start with stock (1ghz) and then raise it up from there. If you're already at stock try reflashing the kernel. If that doesn't help it's probably not the Kernel.
