[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superdeveloperx38:
I'm new to the forums so I have a few questions about how to install gingerbread I was wondering if anyone has a step by step guide, and will this process mess up my computer? Thank-you to anyone who provides useful info.:D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vidaljs:
Hi,

It could be ez, but we need to know:

what ROM are u on now?

RU rooted?

Who is ur cell provider?

All of the above will matter to all anyone who is willing to help u. The more information.... the better.

And why gingerbread?

Good luck

Vs Nexus S 4G
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Any Rom that you decide to install will have directions on how to do it. I don't know why you are worried about the installation of something on your phone will have a detrimental effect on your phone though. You really only need to use the computer to root the phone and back up your sd card (just in case you erase it accidentally).

If you are running the stock Rom that came with the phone, then you will see a much superior device by installing one of the many GB Roms out there along with other tweaks that will make you actually enjoy having a Hero. Even Froyo would be an upgrade compared to Eclair or Donut; at least it was, and is, for me.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Technology-:
He probably wants gingerbread as it is more stable than ICS on the hero.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superdeveloperx38:
I'm using all the original things, I'm kinda a noob at screwing with my phone...

Also, I wanted to know, what old features becomes disabled. I was watching a video on youtube about what the improvements were and he said he couldn't use his trackball.

P.S My friend said he used a program higher than gingerbread he said it screwed up his phone. But if there is something more stable than gingerbread I'm open for suggestions.

Soooooo.... just a guess..... you're not a superdeveloper?

If you just search, you will find. You won't lose any features
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ebaum1:
Crack a few brews...read the forums and listen to the Senior Members/Devs.....

Just about anything you install on here is better that what came stock. They are doing things on the Hero that HTC and Sprint said were not possible!!

Oh...and burn this word into your head...NANDROID!

Welcome to a whole new world of Android! Its almost like being in Willie Wonkas factory;)

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Not sure what ICS did, but my contact photos are a no-show on GoSms. The photos aren't actually save to the phone, they are pulled from each contact's facebook acount via facebook sync. It will show contact photos from contacts that have photos saved on the phone, but not for the contacts that rely on the facebook images. No issues in the actual people app, or the stock messager, just on GoSMS. Anyone else having issues? Possible fix? I tried uninstalling and re-installing it, no dice.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Handcent too. Havent figured out why and can't suggest anything at this point cause nothing I've tried has worked

Edit: Guess it's just not showing facebook contact photos. Google contact photos are showing up. Stock messaging shows all pics though...hmm. still looking..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Ha. Handcent just "Updated" and now I don't get Google contact pics either, only phone pics now..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah it seems to be an issued with the sense 3.6s contacts data base and third party apps.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Camste85:
Help! Same Issue!

I did a software update and my photos under my phonebook are updated from facebook but my handcent sms photos are not showing up at all anymore. I tried downloading GoSMS and the same error. Anyone have a solution to this? I miss seeing the pictures when I text people!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
I use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mots.haxsync

It's mostly is for AOSP or CM9 builds, but it works for Sense.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Cool. I'm actually four the problem. On Gingerbread, the vivid had its own unique facebook app, "facebook for htc sense ", but on ics, it useful the standard facebook app, and apparently the Facebook app doesn't let 3rd party apps have access to contacts. Why? Because Zuckerberg sucks probably. But anyway I fired the issue by deleting my accounts info on the Facebook app and installing friendcaster pro. I have friendcaster are so it was no big deal. The drawback is I can no longer use my cool friendstream widget.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Camste85:
What are those? I don't know what either of those are, do you mind explaining to me how those would fix my issue with handcent contact pictures not showing up?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
Friendcaster has the ability to take photos from your Facebook and put them on your phone. I think that is what he was trying to say.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Sorry if my post sounds like I'm drunk, autocorrect on my tablet is annoying
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Camste85:
So the friendcaster is just an alternate to facebook. The issue I am having is that the facebook pictures show up in the phonebook but in handcent sms since I've updated they don't show at all . I was wondering if there was a way to fix THAT issue :) Thanks in advance
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yes using friendcaster instead will fix that issue. For me same issue, facebook pictures show in phonebook, not in gosms. Delete your Facebook account information and install friendcaster, log in and after sense links all your contacts you'll be good
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] homeslice976:
Confirmed. Facebook's app has always been a steamy PoS
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
It is crap. I had the paid version of friendcaster already from using cyanogenmod on my captivate. The facebook app wouldn't sync photos at all on it and even my phonebook had no photos so from googleing i found friendcaster fixes the problem. The free version gets the job done but the paid version removes ads so I went ahead and paid for it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] plaster:
I was having this problem even with HTC's contact widget. I wiped my facebook app data, then used titanium backup to uninstall the app. I reinstalled the app via google play and synced all contacts and the problem was fixed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dking2011:
I can confirm that having both Facebook and Friendcaster accounts didn't show contact pictures, but removing the Facebook account entirely fixed the issue in a minute or two. Thanks for the advice!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] a40dayflud818:
Has anyone tried HaxSync? I use it but I don't use GoSMS.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] pitbullmommy45245:
I have confirmed that that using friend caster does work to get the contact pics on go sms. Thanks for making this thread. U can get the paid verision of friend caster on 4shared for free. But this is awesome lol.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Cor-master:
Yeah and you get a cool ics look with friendcaster
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] artisticsoul79:
That was brilliant!! I took off the Facebook account, kept Friendcaster and boom! My contact pictures are back in GoSMS... Thank you so much for the help and a great thread!!
[HTC EVO 3D] valdesr11:
Has anyone heard anything regarding the development of Swype? I wanted to give it a shot again but I couldn't find it on xda and I wanted to see if anyone has heard of an ETA for the official release.

Edit: Just realized I named the thread Skype instead of Swype, I also put it in the wrong section. Sorry about that, I really wasn't paying attention. I'm doing too many things at the same time.

You can change the name of the thread by changing the subject line in your first post by using the "advanced edit" option.

And you can just request a mod to move it, or they will see it eventually.

And about the question I have not seen any updates for swype beta recently. I can't use it as a standalone keyboard though.

When I had the EVO Shift 4G with a hardware keyboard it was perfect though

[HTC Titan] aghnokneemoose:
I have done this repeatedly exactly as directed and I keep getting the unknown error after the successful backup.

Any suggestions?

For whatever reason, when the phone restarts in backup mode, the computer cannot communicate with it, even thought the driver is installed. I had to (upon the phone turning off after being shut down by cab sender) pop the battery out and reinsert it and hold down the vol down button (hence putting it in backup mode myself) and plug the phone in again. This process allowed it to properly communicate with the computer. However, this process, nor the natural way of things yields a successful restore process from successful backup!

Just forced my AT&T Titan to 8107 from 7740 and now the "Phone" tile doesn't work. I cannot bring up the keypad to make a phone call. Any one else experience this issue?

[HTC Titan] lvhcred:
I am having the same problem. I had to go back to 7740 until someone figures this issue out
[HTC Titan] rgencarn:
Here are the steps. I needed to install the language pack as well as the actual upgrade cab. It does work!

http://www.wpcentral.com/force-updating-your-windows-phone-os-build-8107-tutorial
[HTC Titan] StevieBallz:
Don't know if the AT&T Titan supports multiple UI languages but make sure you install ALL language packs for the languages on the phone or it is likely that your next update will fail as it assumes that all of those are present (that's the issue that led to the "walshed" phones when forcing Nodo).
[HTC Titan] aghnokneemoose:
I don't have that issue. But I didn't stop at 7740. I went from 7720-8107. I haven't found any issue nor have I found any changes either. I read that the only differences were in Gmail sync issues and exchange issues.

I am getting the following issue when trying to update - error 80070013

Seems like this is related to this issue - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481445

However that issue only has a solution posted for Zune updates. Since AT&T is screwing us for that, does anyone have ideas for how to bypass this problem with the cab sender?
[HTC Titan] winnebago:
I had the same issue. You are missing a language file. Looks like some of the Titans have more than English installed. Revert to 7720 and grab the languages cab. Unzip them all to the cab sender folder. Then run the update. No more phone tile issue!

Also, be sure to place the cab sender folder in the root of C drive. Use an elevated command prompt to start "WP7 Update Cab Sender.bat" after starting the UPDATEWP.EXE for your OS version.
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
To update you have to be on 7720.68.. Your on 7720.03.. You need to download and install the 7720.68 update
[HTC Titan] adam_wingert:
I keep getting a "driver needs updated" error. Anyone else see this?
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
:confused: Are you using the latest Zune? When you phone is connected to Zune (PC) when you do an Update Check from "Windows Update" does it show an optional update for a WP7 driver?

In the past windows update has given the option to update to a newer driver... Not with the titan but you never know
[HTC Titan] adam_wingert:
I do have the newest Zune on my PC. I've tried using the windows phone support tool. It goes through rebooting the phone twice before giving me that error. I'll have to try Windows update

I appreciate your response and ill let you know how I make out. Thanks
[HTC Titan] adam_wingert:
No luck with windows update.
[HTC Titan] Tachi91:
Try reinstalling Zune... Other then that ?
[HTC Titan] alphaacres:
Go in tools folder and run updateWP that installs the DLL's so can run cab updater.
[HTC Titan] adam_wingert:
Thanks, I'll try in the morning. I appreciate the responses.
[HTC Titan] Chinese281:
When running the Cab sender it shows version 7720.03 but when looking at "about" tab on my phone it shows 7720.68, the same error occurs "need updated driver". does anyone have a fix for this?
[HTC Titan] XATAGuy:
What are the changes/improvements?

I'm currently running 7720.68 and having no keyboard issues. Can someone please tell me what the changes/improvements are with the update to 8103? Is there speculation that Apollo will not be available for the Titan?

Thanks,

Dave
[HTC Titan] beankid:
The update went smoothly but I am not having issues with battery life. Is anyone else having issues with their battery draining faster once on update 8107?
[HTC Titan] rgencarn:
No issues with mine. I'm still getting about the same battery life as before the upgrade. I'm unlocked to TMO on my AT&T Titan and one thing I benefitted with this upgrade is that my visual voicemail now works where it didn't on 7720. The only thing left I'm waiting for is 3G/4G service and that's going to come with either a unbranded ROM or data roaming that TMO and AT&T are suppose to do this summer.

[HTC Titan] XATAGuy:
Thanks a million alphaacres!

I thought I was going to get away without any of this applying to me, but the cave people at my company IT department do use a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server, and I am familiar with this anomaly. I guess I will go ahead and do the upgrade when I get back to the States.

I am frustrated by AT&T's reluctance to keep us supplied with the latest updates!

Thanks again,

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goonraiders:
Hello,

I purchased the ViewPad 10 dual boot quite some time ago, and have come to the point where it is pointless to have Windows 7 on a tablet with only 16 GB HDD.

As a result, I have been interested in installing Android on this tablet, replacing the existing Windows install.

I know how to install Android, as I have previously upgraded the 1.6 version to 2.2. However, given 2.2 is the latest official version released by ViewSonic, I am stuck.

Can anyone link me to the latest compatible version of Android that works on the ViewSonic? I have researched and read that there is an Android 3.2 release for a 'Vega2' that may work with the ViewSonic 10, though I am not 100% sure about this.

Also, will all Android apps work on the x86 architecture? If they don't work via Android Market, is there another way to get them working?

Hopefully someone can help me out here.

[Networking] iball8888:
So, its just about time to upgrade to upgrade my Sprint Phone (Evo). I got it coming up in May, unless something changes I might be going with the SG2, just looks great and it has capabilities for LTE as well as Wimax.

I just got a new job that lets me get a discount on T-Mobile, and I after looking at their plans, it would save me a few bucks (literally like 4). I have heard rumors that HSPA+ is slighly faster than Wimax but I never compared the two.

So HSPA+ faster than Wimax?

-----------------------------------------------

I use my phone 90% of the time as a router. My college blocks everything so I am always on tether. I just looked it up and used 16GB last month, and that seems to be the lower average. My point is that Sprint's unlimited truly means unlimited with no caps. T-Mobile throttles after 2GB or 5GB according to the plan. How much of a throttle? Is it significant?
[Networking] TheBDub:
It throttles you down to EDGE speeds, so 2g. Around 20kbps, which won't load a black and white smiley face on your screen for 20 seconds. If you're going to use more than 5GB's per month, stick with Sprint.

T-Mobile throttles at different tiers on different plans, from 100MB-5GB

Speeds on HSPA+ seem to be faster for me on T-Mobile than on Sprint in Portland, Oregon. That could be different for you, but T-Mobile's 42mbps HSPA+ Is closer to LTE than WiMax in my opinion.
[Networking] synaesthetic:
In some areas T-Mobile also forcibly compresses all images pulled down in web pages regardless of your data usage and data plan. There is no way to turn this "feature" off.
[Networking] sgt. slaughter:
Well first the SGS2 does not support Wimax and lte...no device does except for a hotspot...

Imho you will be better off not getting the SGS2 and instead using your upgrade on a truly new device that the hardware spec is not a year old almost. That is unless $ is a big factor and you don't want to spend $250ish on a device...
[Networking] iball8888:
Did some research and found you are right. It is really disappointing because I had a Sprint tech and a Sprint sales rep tell me point blank that the SG2 was Wimax and LTE. Can't trust people nowadays.
[Networking] chrischoi:
Battery consumption is much better with HSPA+ vs LTE.

Goes to up to 10.

False.
[Networking] sgt. slaughter:
Yeah no problem, didn't want u going out and buying a device being that misled...

It's a shame when that crap happens to ppl.
[Networking] Product F(RED):
I used to be a Sprint store technician, and when the Epic Touch had the Loss of Signal issue (which has long been fixed, officially), Sprint's Tech Support over the phone told me that I should have bought an iPhone because Android always breaks. Word for word. I was like, ok so give me an iPhone, I'll give back the Epic Touch. And they said no.

These days you have to fend for yourself unfortunately. Chances are, if you're an XDA user, you know more than a carrier's tech support.
[Networking] synaesthetic:
Explain. I suffered this issue for four months and had to switch to AT&T to avoid it.
