android being open source "is" what you speak of in terms of customization already.. problem is that it "is" customization only by the ones who speak the language of Java.

Themes or whatnot can be done with resigning new images into a update.zip without too much learning curve if you know how to do graphics.

The ones without the talent.. like hyenas.. just take what they can get and get by on xda lurking.

I started closest to the last statement and am now currently at the second where I can comfortably change graphics and use adb and signing apk as I please. This lets me pretty much change anything minus the rom and os itself that requires coding. I just got my second bill from t-mo.

Just do it.

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

I Actually just got my HTC Hero a few days ago and i have not been able to send picture messages. Im on Tmobile US and have tried just about very combianation of apn's possible and with a Big NO GO. I Also contacted T-mobile but they were unable to help me and i even talked to various reps.

Ok so well everything else on my phone works just fine such as calling, sending normal text, using the internet and RECEVING Picture! But i just cant send them. Is there anyone else with this problem and were you able to find a solution? I've had my phone rooted since i received it so i dont know if after rooting it stopped working cuz i never tried that. I would like to unroot my phone but i just dont know how. I would need a nandroid backup of an unrooted image so if anyone wants to help me with that. I'd appreciate it!

^^Original Post on Hero Forums^^​

Update: After trying the Hero forums with no luck since the forums are small and most users are new to android i decided to give the DREAM forums a go... Has this happened to anyone with the G1??

Thanks to anyone who can help!

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
I don't know how that's going to help since they don't even have the G1 on the page.

I might go as far as to say that it might be a network issue with the carrier. But it's hard to say. I have tried the Hero build on my G1 but unfortunately, I haven't even tried sending MMS. I'm reasonably certain that if it wasn't possible then someone would have noticed it and posted it along with the other issues (such as bluetooth and led). If you've already tried all the APN's then I really don't know what else to tell you. Sorry man.

Did you do an upgrade, or wipe your ext3 partiton, fix the partition and wipe the device. Then re-install the ROM. That worked for me when stuff like Gmail and that were broken.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefan.buddle:
from what he said he has the HTC Hero phone not the G1 with the Hero rom, i dont know where you would go for technical support
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] minogue:
Yeah, actually there doesn't seem to be a place to go for technical support! The hero forums are dead. nothing new has been done to the Hero besides being able to root!

im guessing i will have to send my device back for a refund as i really do need MMS to work!

Hi all,i just upgraded a friend's prophet to wm 6.1...everything works fine,except for one strange problem:when he call some operator (vodafone) number (to check remaining minutes for promotions and stuff like that) the numbers pressed on the dialer (to select the various options) haven't any effect.

The number appears on the screen,but it's not "received" by the remote recorded tape.

Any idea about the cause?

Thanks for help
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] dioxda2:
well................

1. try to activate the DTMF support from the tweak software - Advance Config.,

2. you should post your question to the thread of your rom.......

3. Good luck.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] °Dexter°:
Thanks for answering,i checked in Advanced config,but DTMF is enabled already...i'll try to ask in the rom's thread

Hi guys,

I was going to buy a used HTC Dream and I was wondering what defects or problems I should look for. So far I've read about people hearing buzzing during calls and squeaky cases. Obviously I would check if the phone would boot and make calls but I'm not sure what else could be wrong with it. Thank you.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumfuq:
I've had no problems with mine other than it squeaked when I got it like you mentioned. But that is easily fixed with an exacto knife and 30 seconds.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jay22are:
Defects? i have had no problems whats so ever with my phone since i have been having it...sound quality might be off but thats because of poor signal though
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirus20x6:
memory card comes loose all the time. sometimes from slight movement, sometimes from slamming the screen closed to fast. sometimes when sitting on the counter and nothing at all is touching it. this is a problem because if you have apps2sd and swap it will crash the phone and corrupt certain apps.

also my D and F keys are going out. The chin is a horrible design "feature". An attempt to make it look more like a phone but it just makes it hard to press buttons while it's on the table.

the amount of ram reported in specs is missleading. in other phones HTC makes they dont count the radio chips ram in the spec.

battery is pretty small. most people opt for the 2400MH one which makes the thing huge.

there is no 3.5mm jack. (wtf mates)

lots of wasted space on the front of the phone that could be used for more screen space.

the chin doesn't slide with the screen making a large block on the right side of the keyboard that makes it hard to type.

The price I pay for android ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
Sliding mechanism gets loose after a while

Poor battery life, no matter what you say.

Backlight on the keyboard is a tad bit uneven.

It doesn't dance the way I want it to.

Sometimes you can pop the SD card door off, which is annoying.

Strange camera that takes either fairly good pictures or absolutely terrible ones.

I can't run Crysis on it.

It causes you to have OCD and constantly update ROMs and be completely obsessed with it trying to make it better until the point you no longer have a social life and your one and only friend is your G1, then you finally brick it.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h.nocturna:
I gotta disagree with the chin.. I think its pretty awesome... ugly... but oh so useful... I've dropped my phone at least a dozen times and not a single scratch on the screen because the chin elevates the screen above the ground so its actually very hard to scratch the screen from dropping it ;D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
ugly? i think it gives the phone character. like it says to other phones "i will kill you and eat your children and lick their blood off my chin because i have chin."
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but from day one I found that the outer keys traveled further, and the inner keys (on the keyboard) didn't travel nearly as far. It's kinda annoying, as the outer keys feel nice to use >.>

But yeah other than that: battery life, my sdcard door had to be glued back on and the screen creaks on the bottom right corner (exacto knives ftw). It's still a damn good phone.

I can get 3 days charge out of my stock battery...... and that's browsing the internet for 2hrs a day and about 40 txts
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coburn64:
Haha, the final part of your quote is true. If it's your only friend, and you brick it, well, you're a loner.

As for my HTC Dream, it's great. The battery life is poor though, I wish I could tweak it to "Supah High Energy Saver" Mode, I have to recharge it twice a day (one via USB at school, and one on AC at home).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolemnWishing:
I am sorry, but I do not believe that unless you are maybe browsing with 3G off, Wi-Fi off, Bluetooth off along with the display brightness at the lowest it will go. Then maybe. Why? Because I don't even use the internet for 2 hours a day, that is a lot and I still have to recharge at the end of the day. 3 days is what people using 2400mAh extended batteries are getting out of their phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nolageek:
Me too. Same keys. I have to practically MASH my f key down to get it to register lately. My D key works when I try using *just it*, but if I'm typing quickly it never does and then when I go back and press it, it seems to work with no problem.

Also, my DEL key is starting to go. ]

It also drives me nuts, when I'm typing, that the phone isn't vertically more symmetrical.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frito11:
i can narrowly get 3 days out of my G1 with a 2400Mah bat, the stock battery is good for a day thats it.

the good part about the 2400 Mah bat besides the excellent bat life is that it makes the phone so large its much easier to type on the keyboard afterward IMO

[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
I have a GSM Touch Diamond and there's no way to use the US 3G even if you have a 3G sim, we discussed it in the Diamond forum and people said it's just not possible. Is this the case with the Blackstone or are you able to use 3G in the US?
[Touch HD General] Rudegar:
if you use a 3 sim you can get service if 3 got a roaming agreement with an usa isp

if the usa isp don't use 3g services on the hz's the rest of the world use you can only get

2g or 2.5g (edge) service
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
the Telstra Touch HD version (Blackstone - T8285) uses at&t's 850 3G band. it works quite well in the US as long as one is in an area that uses more 850 3G towers vs. 1900 3G towers.
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
So it'll be the same 3G and the same speed as if it were an AT&T phone (like iPhone etc.)?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
it's 3G from at&t, period. :) as i mentioned in my post, the Telstra HD is limited to using at&t's 850 3G band. at&t uses both 850/1900 to deliver 3G. if you're in an area that uses only/more 1900 3G towers then you may not have 3G access. i believe Phoenix, AZ is an example. can't comment on the speed with an at&t phone because i don't own one. the pic below is an example of the speed i get with my Telstra HD on at&t.
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
If there's 850 towers but more 1900 towers then the 3G just won't work at all? It won't just connect to the 850 ones?

I live in Houston, TX and commute between there and Austin, TX.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
i can't say if it won't work at all. for example, if there are 100 towers and 95 are 1900 and 5 are 850 and, you live near an 850 tower, (theoretically) you should get 3G access. using your example, i would say you'd be connected to Edge more often than 3G.

if i remember correctly, there's a user here named tucomora who lives in Houston and has a Telstra HD. i believe he indicated that Houston may have more 1900 towers than 850s. but, as you may know, at&t is adding more 850 towers nation wide. i suggest you send tucomora a PM to get his perspective on using the HD in south texas.

http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=251104
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
I looked for tucomora, tucamora, tacamora, couldn't find anyone.

Would you not be able to go into the phone's settings and disable the 1900 band or something? I have a Diamond on AT&T now and it's between upgrading to an HD or waiting another month and signing up with Sprint for the Touch Pro 2 (or Palm Pre now) and then just looking like an idiot carrying 2 phones around.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
why would you want to disable the UMTS 1900 3G band? if there are no 850 3G towers, you won't get 3G service you'll get EDGE instead. my phone options are set to Auto for GSM and UMTS and if there are no 850 3G towers it switches to EDGE. simple as that, not a big deal for me (and not implying that it is to you). you can change the GSM/UMTS settings to seek/use only 850/1900 3G towers, but in my experience, if the HD doesn't find an 850 3G tower, i won't have a phone signal, period. if you're in the US and want a HD with 3G capabilities, you get the Telstra Touch HD and accept the fact that having only one US 3G band (e.g., 850 3G) will limit 3G access in some areas.

link to user i was referring to turcomora.
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
If there are 850 towers but just not as many as 1900 towers, you could disable 1900 so it only connects to the 850 towers and then you'd have 3G, right? That's what I was saying. I have EDGE on the Diamond but it's so slow it makes me not want to use it most of the time.
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
uh, no it doesn't work like that. :) the phone is going to lock onto the strongest signal possible. if it sees a stronger 1900 signal, that's what the phone will use. if you (could) disable the 1900 band and you're in an area with 1900 towers, you would not have ANY signal at all, no phone, no data. based on your level of concern, wait for the at&t TP2 (or whatever it's called); then you'll have no worries about 3G access.
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
Thanks for all the help, I just ordered the T8285 so I'll let you know how it is. Will I be able to use all my Diamond accessories with the HD (extra batteries, chargers, etc.)?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
chargers yes, batteries no. The Telstra ROM that comes with your device will have its internet connection settings locked to Telstra (which we can't obviously use in the US). this means you won't be able to access the internet from your phone until you add at&t's connection settings. i never researched methods to add at&t's connection settings so i don't know if they exist. i flashed HardSPL to my device so i could install a custom ROM. i suggest you click the link in my signature and learn about flashing new ROMS. hope you enjoy your device!
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
Thanks. I looked at some accessories on ebay and they all say for t8282 (for example http://cgi.ebay.com/o569-2in1-Deskt...ries?hash=item3352c2143b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 ), are the batteries for the 8282 and the 8285 different or will this work?
[Touch HD General] rogershroed1991:
bumpppppppppppppp, anyone know?
[Touch HD General] d.cortez:
T8282 battery works with T8285. essentially, accessories for the T8282 work for the T8285. the only difference between the phones is the radio bands.

All of the sudden I can't hear caller voice, but when I put on speaker then everything is ok. I then switch back to regular mode and can't hear. As if I am on mute. Anyone have the same problem? or help me pin the problem. The phone rings fine.

Please help the old guy out geniuses.

Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] businello2000:
hi,

i think that your problem is not software but hardware...it happend to me...just the little speaker broked....you have to change that or you can use with bluetooth headset....

Keep in mind that this is my experiene , i don't know if it be the same for you..but i think so
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] snoopyrph:
How many speaker are there on the phone? I thought only one right? the music, handfree speaker is fine. If there are more than one speaker, please direct me a site where I can order it. Thanks

For some reason, I think this is more software problem then hardware. The phone is in my case and never drop and taking really good care of it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] mario_jr:
Hi!

I have same issues here.

I think there is a rom problem or somenthing like that...

Here I have to reset.. make alot of calls to test .. raise de volume up.. change speaker and works... its really annoying.

BTW.. I was using Cloudy 1.3 and was flawlessly. Changed to Gen.Y D2 R2 , issue is back .. =(
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] TRMG76:
I think it's a software problem.Have you installed any software like codec or some other audio/sound application?If so try to uninstall it and resart your device.If not try a hard reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] delivery727:
i believe there are 2 speakers in diamond, one is for ringer and speaker phone the other is for calling.

try switching back to Cloudy 1.3 and see if problem still exist?

if there are then your speaker is broken otherwise it's the rom problem.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Kulik:
Guys, just FYI the same issue appears when you install SRS WOW HD sound driver v1.5.1. Version 1.2.1 was working smoothly on diamond, but once i installed this new one, all sounds are mute for some reason and once i uninstalled it again, it was back to normal. Don't know if this will help, anyways with this issue you don't hear anything (ringer, alarm, caller)...

Hearing aid batterys? lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] thelastradio:
I also have this problem... I believe that some of the ROMs that I've installed before set the speaker volume too high which resulted in the speaker blowing. I suggest you either send the phone in for repairs or search for software on XDA which turns the speakerphone on automatically when you make calls, that's how I get around this. You just put it by your ear like normal and you can still hear the phonecall =) Seems like HTC uses really crappy speakers in their phones...

first of all dont freak out lol. Download the dreaming.nbh or w/e file from the rooting instructions and place it at the root of the sdcard. Then get into the rgb screen (Camera + Power) and flash it. That should get you back to factory settings. If not, download the update.zip for w/e region you are in place it on your sd card. Enter recovery (Home + Power) and flash the update.

I've accomplished the factory reset. so i back to a stock g1, and boy does it suck. As stated my phone WAS a dev 1. i've already started the upgrade process, my question at this point is where do you recommend i go from here. back to dev 1 or try one of the other roms. i've already installed the spl, and right now im stuck at the telnetd part of the root process. and this too may have me screaming by the end of the day...

any thoughts would be appreciated.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdrianK:
After the recovery image is installed you need to update the radio if you want to install a cupcake 1.5 ROM. You can get it here, rename 'update.zip', place on the SD card and boot in to recovery and flash. Then flash a ROM of your choice. You should be able to do that on RC 30, but I'm not sure if you need to install a rooted image first, so I'd wait for someone else's input before trying that.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctorfugazi:
I played it extra safe and used the rc29. as far as i know the proper radio is installed. i'll wait around before i do something stupid. thanks for the input tho. i'm trying to learn everything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doctorfugazi:
ok...so i went back to the original method for obtaining root. i was so frustrated last nite that i ended up trying to combine 2 slightly diff methods. at this point i call them the telnetd method and root.apk method. correct me if im wrong but niether one mentions the other. so i make it to the bootloader running the root.apk it runs thru the list and the fails at radio_v2. now im on the white screen wuth the skateboarders, the radio #says 1.22.12.29. so i run it again i

now im on the rgb screen at proceeds to attept the update again. this time the dreaimg.nbh fails. i'm not freaking out. im good. because i know im almost there. feedback appreciated. thanks in advance.

y'know i never thought about this..but if i reverted a dev phone to factory settings...did i relock everything? and for the record, i only have a mac. if that matters at all.
