The biggest reason for the influx of new users to the Hero forum is because the phone has become so outdated (especially with Sprint no longer selling it). People are always looking to get the most out of their purchase, and many will wait until their contract or warranty has expired to being modifying their devices.

EDIT: Also, the more cluttered the forum becomes, the more difficult it can be for a new user to search and find what they need. There is so much clutter in the forums now that it could conceivably take hours to find out all the information on all of the available modifications. You could attempt to search for a solution to an issue, only to find several threads saying "please search for a solution" and one thread actually stating the solution. The time when senior users stuck to only posting informative, concise responses has passed.

That's me. I've had this phone for a year, but waited until the warranty was just about up before rooting. I've been reading these threads for a year, but only just joined XDA when I had to ask a couple of questions myself and download some stuff. I'm stuck with this phone until March, so hopefully I haven't been a burden on anyone's time.

im glad to see that we are getting a good base of people from the hero to the 3d.. hopefully it will attract some of the best devs as well..
[Hero CDMA General] MrDowntown12:
I agree with most here

I'm no dev and know very little about Linux, command prompt, partitions, kernels, and all the other numerous things that go on with rooting.

But I read. I read everything I could find before I rooted. I did it the hard way too, using adb and command prompt. I searched and searched. The info is out there, people are just too lazy to find and read it. Not to say I haven't posted a few questions to the board before, but only after I exhausted xda search and Google.

Anyways, I think it was Mattcrystal who said it best, and I'm going from memory here, "damn you one click root babies."

I will be there in the evo 3d boards right with you guys, rooting it the hard way.

Cheers

I went today to my local sprint store and paid the reserve fee for the evo3d and I'm now on the waiting list. Im looking forward to modifying it as much as possible. Once I got into xda I knew I would not ever want just a regular phone again. Im glad that sprint rep told me about this site when I first got my hero. Its been a blast ever since.

[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Exactly, often times it seems people don't want to try nor take the time and effort to search for and answer when they can just ask and get it - I'm not saying all do, but I mean honestly..when you're typing out your thread title and it lists the thread that answers your question.. thats just too much for me haha.

off topic: with the server issues that xda is currently having which are becoming increasingly more annoying - I've had enough of xda for now lol.

You guys need something from me, send me a PM :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] NineInchNails:
Ahhh all my heroc buddies are joining the 3d... life will remain better on xda for a long time....

And if noobs piss you off (like me of all people should really heed my own advice) goosefraba........... don't even hit reply. It's never been worth it. Even though I feel as if I got the better of 2 members in particular it forever cast a shadow on my xda history. I could've easily kept my mouth shut and I didn't. Now I'm known as a smartass with all the answers. No I don't. I'm just a smartass along with a few other senior members that I feel we have a little right to be.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpadaddict:
Greetings Forum,

I noticed yesterday that when I lunched the internet in my Thunderbolt and I start typing a web search on www.goolge.com/m, as I start to type the letters they turn into a password like formant (*****). My wifes TB's doesn't do that but I run many more apps than she does. My worry is that my phone has been compromise.

I am not rooted, I did several hard resets and the problem still persists. I mainly use Swype (I am a registered beta user, no mods).

If you can shine any light into this issue I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

I installed the USA Today app and I'm very impressed. It is one of the most polished well thought out apps that I have seen so far for Android tablets.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] GuestD0639:
USA Today is perhaps the best news app on my Transformer, in terms of layout design and content.

Other quality news apps I installed for transformer are;

New York Times/NYtimes: a bit "bare" but delivers content

CNN: Eats battery away like a monster, layout is clustered in a good way and has A LOT of content

BBC news: Similar to CNN in terms of layout design
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nxp3:
I like it too...wish there was a way to change fonts though...my eyes aren't so great anymore.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] nxt:
Great app. 1 issue though the phone version the snapshots (polls) you can swipe and vote in other pills within thy poll category. Looks like the Tablet version only 1 poll per category.

Pulse news reader is pretty damn good on the tablet too. Only wished you could add more categories than the 4.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dfin13:
The news apps are really nice, what I imagined "tablet optimized" really means. That USA Today widget though ... it looks like they gave it to an intern to bang out in five minutes, ugly and randomly force-closes. The CNN widget is nice, a little too flash over function, but still nice. The Pulse widget is also OK, functional but needs a design makeover.

A hard reset probably will fix it???

[Xperia Arc General] arcanixX:
Try updating your software, or do a factory reset.

Is it a software or hardware problem????

[Xperia Arc General] mitsosoft:
Try connecting it to another TV... If it fails again try update the sw...
[Xperia Arc General] nsourtgr:
I did that..... I tried in two different TV .... My main consideration is that I receive these messages (aLogcat) continuously, before even connect the HDMI cable to the phone...

I also tried sw but .... "You phone has the newest update sw" ...

When we expect a new sw for the Arc?????
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
Have you used SEUS to REPAIR the software - it will put a completely fresh image back onto your phone - wiping everything off there.. (won't touch the SD card contents though.)
[Xperia Arc General] nsourtgr:
As I learned..... "Factory Reset" is totally different from "Flashing Rom"...

Because my Arc is "boot-loader unlocked" I can't use SEUS.... so my only (last) solution is to flash the rom....

My only question is.... by flashing the rom my Arc will return to "Non rooted" mod?

I want to return to "Non rooted" mod because I think that gingerbreak caused the problem (also I haven't tried HDMI connection before gingerbreak) ...

[Q] Can I flash Build 3.0.A.2.184? My current rom is Build 3.0.A.2.182. Where can I find 3.0.1.A.0.138 rom?

TIA
[Xperia Arc General] im_iceman:
did you actually unlock your bootloader? if you did then you are right SEUS won't work. however, you can flash bin4ry's system.img using fastboot, this is a pre rooted ROM. no need to use gingerbreak.. if you are liking for a clean un rooted ROM then using flash tool will give you that..

What Sat Nav program do u guys thing is the best for Android?? The Google one that comes with it seems pretty crap, and i had just got used to the Nokia / Ovi Maps one i had on my old phone. Could anyone give me some advice on the ebst one to use as it is something i do use a lot.

Many thanx.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] waz000000:
the google one is excellent although it doesn't have offline maps.

Most reviews including the gadget show and magazines rated it top. that said you can use copilot ive used it a few times, does what t says on the tin and the junction picture is pretty useful.

But seriously never been let down by google maps, even got to the lakes using it through the mountains

Well, when i wrote this i WASN NOT kidding, i was finding Google Maps and Navigation REALLY hard to get on with, it wouldnt connect and i would be sitting there for ages waiting for it to do ANYTHING, in the end i gave up and just did my best to follow street view, lol.

But no, it has been updated, and is a lot better than it was, it doesnt like connecting when i am already moving, and for my job, i gotta be moving all the time from place to place, so i need to be able to start the app, tap in a new destination and GO straight away, which Google doesnt seem to like doing.

Hi

I use my rooted Epic 4G with my work Exchange account. Every time I send a message, it looks like an HTML bomb hit it: when you look at the message using Outlook it is full of HTML <br> characters, and the details of the message that I replied to are mixed into my signature.

Can anyone recommend an alternative e-mail app for the Epic 4G that still works with Exchange push e-mail and contacts, or perhaps a setting I can change in the normal e-mail app that will solve the problem?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umbrella42:
With CM7 installed I am able to start CWM from bootloader by selecting "RECOVERY". Clockworkmod recovery itself has full adb support, so everyone who has stolen / found my Nexus S can gain full root access via USB simply by rebooting into CWM.

Is there a way to prevent this? Or a CWM version without adb support?

I'm worried about my google/dropbox/mail account - is adb root access for everyone with a simple USB cable a security issue?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
I don't it's a good idea, but if the recovery partition contains only recovery, then you can format the recovery partition to prevent from booting it. Then keep your bootloader locked, so the only way to get access to the phone is to unlock the bootloader, which will wipe the phone clean.

Don't try it unless you are 100% sure though, I've read another guy whose brother formatted every partition in the phone, and the phone became bricked with no fastboot mode as well. I don't know which partition contains fastboot mode.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roghaj:
I see directions on how to partition the sd card in several rom threads.

Boot to CW and find partition SD card...

My question is, will this help with every rom, every kernel, or what?

Answer so far: EXT partition will enable apps2sd
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
As far as I know this will allow you to use apps2sd to put more apps on your sd card than the operating system allows for. There may be other uses for a partitioned area but that is all I have seen discussed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roghaj:
Thats what I originally thought too, but I was able to use apps2sd anyway on a card that I didn't do any special partitioning to. THere is a chance that it already had an ext partition on it, but I don't think so.

If that is the case, that is an easy answer for the ext partition, but what about the swap?
