Yes, this is the wrong section. The ideal section for this post would have been the Dream Q&A.

Anywho, are you using a custom ROM? I've experienced file corruptions on different ROM's but haven't experienced it lately...if you're downloading large files, your best bet is to make sure you have a steady connection (wifi is a good example of that) and plenty of extra room on your SD card.

Also, one corrupt file, as I've found out, will corrupt multiple files. Also, if you're using TA Utility (or another app to move caches to the SD card) it has a tendency to slip up every once in a while and start breaking things. You'll need to re-format the card.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renocivik:
I would think so.. I have never had a problem with a corrupt download.. and never really read of anyone else having serious issues.. so I believe the problem is somewhere on your end.. and the SD card is a great place to start... at what point do you realize the file is corrupt? when you go to flash it? You could always try downloading the ROM zip file.. opening it with winzip or winrar and try and extract all of the files... just as a method to test the stability of the file... if it extracts without any issues the file is still ok on your computer... then transfer it to the sd card and do the same... if it has an error.. you likely have a bad sd card.. or possibly even try changing USB cables or a different method of transferring the file to the SD Card (card reader etc) Also.. try reformatting your SD card.. I used a program called paragon partition manager for windows.. it allowed me to create alll 3 (linux swap, ext3, and fat32) partitions on the sd card.. and it works great!

of course dont forget to delete all of the extracted files after you test the zip file.. because you dont really need them extracted and they dont really serve a purpose outside of the zip file (from a user point of view at least)

hope this helps :)

Hey guys my hd has locked it's self i can bring it out of standby but it wont unlock the touch screen.

have done 3 hard resets and it gets to the "tap screen to continue" screen but still says "unlock" in the bottom left corner.

it wont allow me to unlock it.

i am running the stock rom 6.1 on orange uk.

can anyone help?
[Touch HD General] David Balfour:
does that corner of the screen work? what happens if you press phone? do you get the dialer? it could be that the screen doesn't work.
[Touch HD General] keridel:
the soft keys doesn't work apart from the hang up key which vibrates and lights the screen. But when i touch the unlock button nothing happens. if i press the volume control i get the htc volume control as well
[Touch HD General] amitambika:
Well I had this problem once and only thing which worked was when I connected the phone to the power for charging and it immediately unlocked.
[Touch HD General] gurluver:
have you tried going into bootloader mode? if you can, then try install a new ROM...
[Touch HD General] David Balfour:
Ok i didnt mean the soft keys. There is a option in the bottom left corner of the screen that says phone, i was wondering if you touch that corner does it work.

Also if only 1 of the soft keys are working you have a another issue as well. I would be getting in touch with orange and looking at sending it backfor now. I would flash any custom roms as this will affect the warranty. Look into keeping the warranty in tact until the issues have been resolved.

1 thing you could try is flashing the original rom again. See if you can find the orange ROM (it's on here somewhere) and reflash with this and it might solve some of the issues as this will do a little more than a ard reset will.
[Touch HD General] keridel:
thanks for your feedback guys. Nothing i did made any difference so it's gone to HTC to either a: fix or b: replace. i was lucky in that i hadnt flashed any roms into it yet as i didnt wont to invalidate the warrenty and that orange being s#it, wont even let me upgrade the stock ROM. grr. will post on here when i find out what it is.
[Touch HD General] keridel:
no idea what was wrong with it and they replaced the whole touch screen.

thread can be closed.

thank you

As all the pre order Hero's I've seen so far, are white, I thought I'd emails some suppliers about unlocked black ones.

The replies I'm receiving seem to indicate the unlocked sim-free Hero's will only be available in white (UK).

Why do they do they come up with these crazy restrictions? Do they deliberately try to limit their sales?

I despair sometimes :(

Anyone seen unlocked Black versions advertised?

Handtec.co.uk do it in brown, but their release date is 3rd Quarter 2009, not the July date so not sure if they are going to release on the same date or a bit later on...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knnelg:
nicelad_uk, thank's for that. Looks promising. Technicaly, 3rd quarter has already arrived, so maybe it's comming close to the 21st being touted by most retailers. This is the only store I've seen with a sim-free other than white. I'll contact Handtec for clarification.

Thanks again.

Thank you for your email

HTC will be launching the White version only in the UK, but the date has moved again to end of July/Early August

The Brown version or Black graphite could come out but go to europe or to a network - orange,O2 etc

HI Guys,

I`ve ordered my Hero from Handtec.co.uk 2 weeks ago and had a chance to speak personaly with the Sales Manager. I`ve order a brown edition and the sales manager confurmed that there is confirmation for delivery date which is 21.07.2009.

Here is a copy of our Skype conversation:

[13.7.2009 г. 19:39:56] Ciki says: is there any changes of the official delivery date?

[13.7.2009 г. 19:40:12] Ciki says: as i remember it was 21.07

[13.7.2009 г. 19:40:21] Ciki says: any changes so far?

[13.7.2009 г. 19:41:08] ********** says: no

[13.7.2009 г. 19:41:11] ********** says: this date is confirmed

[13.7.2009 г. 19:41:18] ********** says: i will have stock on this date
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knnelg:
Hi josifbg,

Please let us know if this turns up.

As you can see from my previous post, I'm being told that the brown version will not be available unlocked (I've also had a similar response from HTC direct).

So i'll be very interested to see if you do receive your unlocked brown Hero.

Regards,

Glenn
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josifbg:
Hi Glenn,

Well we`ll wait to see what color they`ll deliver ....

I expect the delivery on 23.07.2009 as they will ship it on 22.07.2009 (1 day delivery by Air - Fedex).

Crossing fingers.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cboyd:
Hope this sheds some light, all correct as of launch date:

White - UK Independant channel only, so online etailers, shops etc.

Brown and Pink - Carphone Warehouse only. Not sure if will be sold connected only or if they'll do it sim free.

Graphite - Orange UK Only

Hero looks likely to launch (very) end of July / early August
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josifbg:
Well My order from Handtec.co.uk is Sim Free......
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josifbg:
Bad News... Just spoke with Handtec sales manager and he told me that the release date will be in August.:mad::mad:

[14:17:52] ********* says: no date

[14:17:59] ********* says: early August

[14:18:45] Ciki says: includes handtec?

[14:19:30] ********* says: Yes

[14:19:36] ********* says: we are registered Htc DEALERS

[14:19:49] ********* says: Such as Amazon

[14:22:29] Ciki says: last time you told me that delivery date 21.07 is confirmed looks like the delivery is changed again ?

[14:23:50] ********* says: yes it has

[14:24:04] Ciki says: Oh my....

[14:24:21] ********* says: Its coz google are doing a retest on the device

[14:24:57] Ciki says: ok but how long we have to wait for the delivery?

[14:25:17] Ciki says: i mean.. this is unbelievable...

[14:25:47] Ciki says: and looks like there is no date... and no body knows....

[14:33:32] ********* says: thats true

[14:33:48] ********* says: but if no one has them then theres nothing to really worry about

30min later he told me 1st week of August.... :mad:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knnelg:
josifbg, I don't know if youv'e seen the latest handtec website update, but with regard to the brown version it says.... "This version will NOT launch in the UK, please refer to the White version"

Here is the page...

http://www.handtec.co.uk/search.php?xSearch=htc+hero&update.x=0&update.y=0&update=Search

Strange thing is, that if you click through to the main page, they still say taking preorders. Me thinks left hand don't know what right hand is doing.

Just canceled the pre-order from Handtec....

I can`t believe they`ve actually charged my CC for something which can be delivered after 1 month for example.. and in the actual delivery date 02.08.2009 to say " We are sorry but the reference order xxxxx HTC Hero Brown color is not availible and will not be available from UK so ... yo have 2 options: Cancel the order or go with the White edition....."

I recieved my HTC Hero Brown yesterday - ordered from Pixmania which is based in France. Europe was awarded the the Brown unlocked version. Ordered Wednesday, arrived Friday. When setting up the phone, gave me two language options, French or English.. I know which version I chose :p

Very impressed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knnelg:
Hi amczee,

Well spotted. I missed that one. I ended up buying a brown one from mobiles.co.uk (£79 + 12 months @ £30 for an Orange contract - £40 cashback from Topcashback = £400 with free delivery) so ended up paying £400 over 12 months. I'm not using the Orange sim as I've got one of the O2 'simplicity' sims for £19.58 per month which gives 800 mins, 1200 texts, free voicemail & unlimited data (unlike Orange/T-Mobile 500MB/1GB)

I don't need a lot of minutes/texts so was going to go for the no-contract (30 day rolling contract) version of the 'simplicity', but as O" are offering £100 cashback on 12 month sim only contracts, I went for that instead.

Ordered my Hero on Wednesday evening, received Friday morning. All in all, Im happy.

This is my first android phone, so I'm having an educational whale of a time :)

I don't know why the person asking about an accelerometer failure had their thread closed after a single response suggesting banging the G1.

Hi

I just put my android backup on the phone and when i was trying to put a new SPL on something happened. No the phone starts and gets immediately stuck at the vodafone splash screen. Even if I remove the battery and put it back in.. it starts automatically and gets stuck again.

Please help! :mad:
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Draxter:
Remove battery, disconnect from SUB, then insert battery and see if you can enter fastboot with volume down + power
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
What is the sub? And how do I disconnect?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
1. unplug usb cable before you put battery back in

2. with phone off press home+power to see if recovery come up- blue or green menu

3. if no then boot in fastboot mode(back+power)

4. plug phone to pc

5.command prompt - navaigate to tools dir- fastboot boot recovery-image file you used when root

6. should say on dos prompt - bott okay and reboot device

shoul;d bring up green/blue menu - depends on what recovery image you used
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
I can't get into fastboot mode cause whatever I do, the phone immediately starts en gets stuck in the vodafone splash screen. I have no opportunity to press home + back
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Draxter:
typo, USB :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
unplug usb and let phone rest for bout 5 mins. relax and then when put battery in will stay off. just leave battery out for a few mate it will be fine
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Ok.. i took a shower, put the battery back in and now it didn't went on.. so what do i do first now?

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
home+power to see if recovery screen comes up. it will show voda screen so wait for a few. if don't come up turn off by pulling battery. boot in fastboot mode - back+power. when in fastboot mode connect to pc via usb. got to tools folder on pc via command prompt and type in fastboot boot recovery-miaghe file you used......... should turn off and reboot in recovery menu

edit: i'd reflash rom you had on previously just to be safe but not neccesary..........run sd card update.zip
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Home + power // I get the vodafone splash screen and it gets stuck

Back + power // I get the vodafone splash screen and it gets stuck

:(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
oh **** you were messing with spl. i haven't as dont need to. phone off hold back+power together........... shoulkd not see voda pic at all just screen with fastboot usb in red. not sure if spl messes with fastboot menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bachviet:
Press and hold the "Back" + "Power" buttons until the splash screen shows up.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ptekelly:
or

hold down the back key

press and release the power button (keeping back key pressed)

when splash appears release back key

this is just in case your trying to press both at same time and mistiming it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ptekelly:
The other thing. How long have you left it at the splash screen - when i flashed my phone i left it at the splash screen it took 'minutes' to get past it
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Yes I was.... :'(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
hje's probably panic and not doing it right. relax as you shub be able to get in fastboot mode
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
I waited for a few minutes also.. but i'll try what you just said.. i'll try anyting.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
why man not needed as most roms work with the 004 spl. trying to put 005 were you? should be able to boot in fastboot menu.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
No when i put the original rom back on(via nandroid), I also tried to to put the original SPL on.. and i think i even wiped then.... so stupid!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
ok should still get into fastboot menu.............. try vol down+power see if that worrks. hold down till boot splash comes up............. also wen you do home+power combo it takes a few to see recovery splash menu. remember phone has to be off before doing combos
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Yes, the phone is always off when I try something. It just doesn't work. I'll bring it to the store tomorrow and hope...

I really appreciate your help, thank you!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
well it looks like you have deleted the spl from the phone thus the fastboot menu not coming up. too many bricked devices on here........... peops need to take more care!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
I hope they think it's a manufactering error and will fix it for free.. or I'm screwed even more.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] shingers5:
oh man good luck with that.................they'll probably do just as we tried to get you to do mate!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
They gave me a new one.. YESSS!!! :D

I'm not going to destroy this one haha. Not even going to root it. The ONLY thing I want is the HTC Keyboard instead of the Google Keyboard. Is it possible to get that without having to root?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cheesebaron:
No you have to have root to copy over new system files.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] BluesRebel:
Nope, it's possible. I already have it without root. You just put the htc_ime.apk on your sdcard and install it with Astro :D
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Cheesebaron:
That isnt possible with libraries and other stuff though.

Someone said here 'people should be more careful'... well, how exactly is one to be more careful with this? If an SPL flash goes wrong, apparently it immediately bricks your phone. Even if all care is exercised, it can still happen.

Help, I tried to "go backwards". I was on I was on Zendroid 2.0.1. which wasn't working. I thought that "Restoring" to the first ROM Manager Backup (Nandroid?) which I created would take me back to Factory Stock. My plan was to then use Samsung Kies to upgrade to Gingerbread.

Now all I get it the "Bali" sunset "splashscreen" and I can't get beyond that. Is this phone bricked? Noooooo, it can't be. What do you suggest I do?

- take out battery, reinsert, Home + Power On

- take out battery, wait 5 minutes, reinsert, Volume Down + Power On

Neither helped me
