Hello everybody,

I've notice weakness in position update when using AGPS.

Basically HTC widget with time and weather forecast don't change location also if I move far away from one location.

Actually weather widget has been set-up for show weather forecast of current location and A-GPS position is always on on my Hero.

Any idea to solve? Seem that position item isn't update with x frequency...

Regards.

Hi All

I need your halp to locate application that can switch from sound to vibrate or silence only for a period of time like 30-45 min.

I need it because i forget to switch the sound back on.

I only find this software: http://www.commmgrpro.com/

Discuss it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=299070

but its kind of overkill for me, I need only the sound status timer.

If you know new application that make this possible Pls help me
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Digital.Diablo:
You might want to have an experiment with PhoneAlarm Pro http://www.pocketmax.net/. I've used this extensivly on my HTC Athena to do profile switching. Not sure if it will do an 'after 30mins' setting, but you could configure it to switch to a standard profile every 30 mins or an hour or whatever.
[G1 Apps and Games] purg:
Ive got nothing to do with the site or software but been using the application for a few days and thought it needed the credit. The market has a couple of alternatives but AndroidIRC isnt in the market but found it fast and good.

[G1 Apps and Games] cojonesx:
search for "Android IRC", not AndroidIRC to find it.

My first thought: is it really worth US $5?

I have been using DaraIRC which works pretty great, has a good android style feel to it and is free. In fact so far the only thing I do not like about it is the icon.
[G1 Apps and Games] purg:
you might be looking up the wrong thing!

Fromt the sie he posts that it not in the market because he doesnt have a credit card for the market userid!
[G1 Apps and Games] rondey-:
The android irc on the market that cost money is well worth it. The developer listens to feature requests and frequently updates. I use it often.

Hi there I currently own a Sprint HTC Touch Pro CDMA phone that i purchase as it first came out in the States of 2008. I need help on how to unlock my phone. I have read around the forum and hear ppl saying that i would need my IMEI number but i have no idea where to find it on my phone, I have tried the *#06# number but doesn't work can anyone help me out with this. I would really appreciate it if anyone can help me with this problem i have been having.

I have located two sets of numbers under my battery labeled as MEID HEX/MEID DEC. would either of these set of numbers be considered my IMEI number.
[Touch Pro CDMA] cbreze:
If you go settings>system>device info>identity it shows imei.
[Touch Pro CDMA] skeene85:
IMEI

I'm afraid I went to Settings > System > Device Info, and the Identity tab only shows Model and Platform (RAPH800 and PocketPC, respectively).

Where can I get my IMEI number?

The above thread states you have an "ESN" number instead of an IMEI number. Search is a powerful tool. ;)

yeah I can't find where it says where my ESN number on my phone so i am guessing if u have a CDMA phone you really cant unlock your phone.
[Touch Pro CDMA] rws371:
Use Search Luke Use the Search

I know the phone can be unlocked so you can change phone number etc...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] johnboywilson:
I have seen a few people having problems doing a hard reset mostly because they are using the wrong button combination. So for those of you who have not managed to get it right here is the correct way.

1/ Switch off the phone (either removing the battery or shutting down by holding the "end call" button for few seconds

2/ While being switched off, hold the "home" (house) and "back" (the arrow in the lower right corner)

3/ Hit briefly the "end call" button" while still holding the "home" and "back" buttons.

4/ Release the "home" and "back" button, a white screen containing technical information should appear, with a red message asking for hitting the "menu" button.

5/ Hit the "menu button", the Hero will now boot with factory settings.

Hope this helps. :D

[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
Hi all,

I got my Hero on Monday and I'm blown away by this phone so far!

The only not-so-great aspect I have found is the music playback:

1) There is a small amount of background noise when playing music, which is noticeable

in a quiet environment during low-volume parts of tracks. I don't always listen to Metal on the subway, so this is kind of a problem.

2) Sometimes, when listening to consecutive tracks of an album, there is a stutter when a new track starts. Haven't found a way to reproduce this reliably yet.

I was expecting to be able to ditch my iPod for the Hero, but I'm a little hesitant now. Does anyone else experience these issues?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dr_lovejoy:
I have the same issue with the jumping at the beginning of a new track, haven't noticed the background noise though probably because I do listen to metal.

Maybe it has something to do with standard sd card or how the mp3 was created? I hope someone knows the answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Emmsna:
Also:

Does anyone know if there is a graphic equaliser somewhere? Music seams to be too trebley (using Seinnhauser earphones), but I haven't been able to find anyway to adjust it
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
Forgot to mention: I used 192 kbit/s MP3s encoded by iTunes and portable AKG headphones. I'm going to try out the included earbuds when I get home, to see if they "equalize" anthing.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
I'm listening to Rufus Wainwright's Hallejuah on my Hero now over a set of Sony MDR-NC22 Noise Cancelling Earphones (in-ear type) with the noise cancelling switched off. No background hiss. Could it be from your MP3?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
That's possible of course, but I never noticed noise like this on my iPod. One other thing I'll try at home is listening to a WAV file and check for noise.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Send me the MP3 file and I'll load it up on my device now and let you know if I'm having any problems

my email address is my username @gmail.com
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
Ok, I tried the included earbuds, and the noise is much less pronounced than with my AKG headphones, but still audible. It starts as soon as the playback begins and stops about 2 seconds after I pause the music player. (I guess this is when the audio hardware shuts down.)

MP3 and WAV exhibit the same noise, so it's not encoding artefacts.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Is it a buzzing noise?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
I'd describe it more like a hissing sound.

Edit: I have attached a sample MP3 (hissingat5.mp3) in a ZIP file. I can clearly hear a hissing sound around 0:05 when the music gets quiet and I'm not using the included earphones. Anyone else? (I've checked the original CD with the same headphones, there's definitely no noise on the recording.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
My ipod touch does this sometimes. I have to reboot the ipod and its fine after. Maybe its because they are low on memory. Have you got lots of apps running? Try taskiller and try again?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ovek:
I've found the music app struggles the most with low system resources and during the phones numerous "heavy lag" periods makes play back shutter or even stop altogether!

And god forbid you have more than five albums with bog standard 600x600 cover art... slow doesn't really describe it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
Good idea, that might be a reason.

I think I'll be sticking to my iPod for now, though. While the stuttering problem is probably fixable in software, I'm not so sure about the audio quality.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tomzibad:
my music also lags(espacially in sleep mode.. it's ridicoulis)... it's so annoying.. something needs to be done about this... I've tryed to memory cards and the music lags on both.. one is fast and one is slow..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chiz65:
I've found that if I play music through the phone itself or my headphones, there's no problem. If i connect it to my little 2.1 speakers, songs stutter, jump, restart, skip etc CONSTANTLY. Any ideas why this could happen? The speakers work fine with everything else, afaik. And the Hero works fine with other stuff... guesses?

I also have the slight hiss for a few seconds. Sound quality is pretty average, but i have my awesome samsung P3 for that ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] skee^:
Im using a Philips SHB9000 stereobluetooth headset, theres no hiss in that, maybee its bound to wired only? thoe i have some stutter.. i use a Class 4 4GB Microsdcard.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wossName:
Yeah, since you're not using the Hero's audio hardware at all, I wouldn't expect there to be any noise.

BTW, how much does the bluetooth headset drain the battery? I was thinking of using one to solve this problem.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kiz:
Lack of gapless playback is also a bummer for me. I might be going back to my Zune.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
Exactly the same as on my phone. I'm on my fifth Hero now and knew about the hiss already but this is the first to stutter. Exactly the same files, exactly the same memory card, exactly the same apps installed and running on the system.

No idea why one Hero has difficulty and others don't.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Fritti:
My Hero stutters even in the middle of songs on playback. I tried an alternate music player (nswPlayer) and it didn't help. I'm using mp3s but I think they're 320kbps. Maybe a re-encode would help?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
320k mp3s played just fine on my previous 4 Heroes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Cetin:

One thing that annoyed me about the iphone was having to delete every individual email to clear the inbox. Then, you'd have to go into the trash folder and start manually deleting them from there too. WM was great for this, you'd just hit "clear inbox" and they would all dissappear. hurrah!

Android/hero seems to have copied the stupid iphone method. or... am i missing something? is there a better way to delete items from the inbox?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 2brains:
In the Mail app, press the menu button and select delete. Then you are able to select multiple messages to delete in one go
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
Yeah, thats what i'm refering too. If you had 50 emails you'd have to tap each one individually to delete it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stilghar:
No, you don't.

When you are in the screen to select which messages you want to delete, click Menu again. It will give you the options to Mark all or Unmark All. This way you can delete ALL messages in one go. Remember that the Menu button changes screen over screen, many hidden functionality is there ;)

Hi!

My Hero gets very laggy sometimes when I open up too much apps. Unfortunately there is no way (that I know of) to actually close an app, they just 'hibernate' in the background. I tried using TasKiller but it seems to have issues with the hero (when I try to kill apps it brings a random app forward and doesnt close it).

They best solution is just to reboot the phone. When it boots back up it works like a charm.

I thought it would be useful to have a tool that reboots the phone automatically every day at a given time (lets say 4AM) but I couldnt find any. Do You have any other solution for that problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fullerlee:
I've been using Taskiller (unpaid) since I got my Hero and it's working fine.

Clicking on a task kills it, long clicking brings up the ignore/kill menu. The unpaid version allows for 2 ignores.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] k3vin11:
When I put a 'shortcut' to task killer on one of the screens it did bring up my contact list after pressing it.

But if I select task killer from the full list of installed apps it works fine, shows me a long list of whats running, you can kill them individual or hit the button at the top to kill them all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
I've been facing the same lagginess on my device, but it seems to go away after awhile. No idea why. Perhaps the system is configured to clean up every now and then?

Taskkiller seems to shut down the SenseUI, so I've stopped using it in the meantime.

What really annoys me, however, is how sometimes the SenseUI seems to crash, and all you see on the screen is the notification bar area, and the HTC logo, as though the phone was switching scenes or rebooting.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] fullerlee:
Taskiller works best if you choose individually which apps to close. You need to leave Touch Input and TouchFlo alone if you still want things to work properly!

Generally it's pretty obvious which apps you want to close e.g. Browser, GMail, Games, GMaps, etc.

Oh and I believe Android will auto-close apps when it decides the system is running low on resources (presumably RAM). That may explain why things suddenly speed up.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Going through app by app isn't something I'd like to spend my day doing. TK has been useful for me on my HTC Magic and Dream (yeah, I'm a bit of an Android man), but on Hero, I haven't really found it as useful :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rivak:
there a program "advanced taskkiller" at the android marketplace. you can kill all tasks at once and then get back to the sense ui by pressing the home button.. found it a good solution for me to free up some memory pretty fast
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stingerpl:
Is the app for free? I can't find it.

Unfortunately we cannot see paid apps in Poland.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Yes, it is a paid app. I had the same problem as well, but thank goodness my G1 came with an AT&T prepaid SIM card. Although the SIM card doesn't work, it is enough to identify me as a US customer when I access Market over WiFi, thus giving me access to paid apps.

It might be worthwhile for you to check if you can get your hands on a depleted AT&T SIM card on eBay or something
[Hero, G2 Touch General] minogue:
Has anyone tried

"Advance Task Manager" i had it on both my G1 and HTC Magic with the Hero Rom installed and it worked just fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
yes, i am using it myself and it works fine.

is a free app, or at least the version i have is.

it remembers which apps you selected to shut down, so each time you go in, they are ticked already and you just have to hit the kill button.

the first time you use it, untick the ones you want to leave running and then it's good to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rivak:
the app is for free. it`s called "advanced task killer" on android marketplace

[Hero, G2 Touch General] johnboywilson:
Using which one? :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stingerpl:
Advanced Task Manager is really great with the exceptions and widgets it is they best task killer out there IMO.

I got rid of the HTC TouchFLO/SenseUI and killed all of the HTC processes on my Hero. I also uninstalled Locale (very sad to do that because its very useful).

I run this configuration for two days now and I have no lag at all! :)

All you really loose are the HTC widgets which I didnt utilize anyways.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
I just got an 8GB microsdhc Class 6 card and installed advanced task killer to get rid of the apps that were running in the background and now Henry (that's what I lovingly called my Hero) runs really quickly and with no lag at all.

Love it!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mwatson:
How do you identify the class of the SD card? I've got one but haven't a clue what it is?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stingerpl:
I also have a class 6 sd card.

How in the world could it help the lag (assuming you didnt root the phone and make a swapfile on the sd card)? Pls explain :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rhedgehog:
Advanced task killer.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Mansn:
If there is a little "6" on the card then you know that it's a class 6. Like this:

http://media.photobucket.com/image/class 6 micro sdhc/ddddadi/microSDHC4GB_a.jpg

If there is no number on the card it is most probably a "Class 2" card. Class 6 cards are more expensive, but have higher data transfer rates.

Well, seeing that a lot of the files that you access while using applications are stored on the card (photos, music etc) it does make sense. And perhaps the Hero uses the card as a swap space to store things on? I really don't know how or why it might be faster, but I have definitely noticed the difference. The phone hardly lags any more. When it does, it's literally just for half a second.

Before I often had the issue that while I was typing the phone just wouldn't keep up any more. I haven't experienced that since I have installed the new card.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
It should be said that class 6 cards have higher *minimum* data transfer rates for writing. These are:

Class 2 - 2MB/s

Class 4 - 4MB/s

Class 6 - 6MB/s

Many cards exceed these speeds both reading and writing, and often by very large margins. For example, class 2 cards writing at 12MB/s etc (example http://www.davidgilson.co.uk/2008/12/follow-up-another-micro-sdhc-card/ )

It is also possible to buy class 2 cards that are actually faster than class 6 cards from other manufacturers.

The point is that when you buy a card, look for independent reviews that have actually measured the read/write speeds of the cards, and buy accordingly. Just looking at the class in isolation, only guarantees you a minimum level of performance.

Dave
