[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sawkes:
Can anyone post a picture of the "screen gap" please?

Im kind of unsecure if I got it :p

Otherwise.. Ive had no problems with my hero. No led isssues, no dead pixels etc..
[Hero, G2 Touch General] tatwamasi:
It's at the top of the screen, between the earpiece and the HTC logo. It's very small. I suggest you try to not look for it.

If you want to look for it, then in good light tilt the handset left to right and up and down, if you see stuff inside the phone glinting back at you then you have it. Alternatively you can turn the backlight up and look at it in the dark, you'll likely be able to see light spilling out from above the screen if so.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chrisw1991:
Anyone in this forum got a hero they would sell thats faulty ? iv been looking everywhere for 1 am in need for a part for mine
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pauliusba:
I'm so happy that my first hero is perfect and has no issues at all, not even one dead/stuck/bad pixel. Yay! :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grenness:
I wouldn't think so, but I'm really clueless about what's going on...

I have Cyanogen 3.9.8

I want 4.0.2

When I use the CM Updater, I get the dreaded acore Force Close.

So I try the manual approach, putting the 4.0.2 zip file on my SD card's root, then I reboot into recovery, and I perform a Nandroid backup (I run Linux on my computer, and don't use ADB).

Then I do a wipe, before I install the 4.0.2 zip.

Finally, I do I Nandroid restore.

Rebooting takes a long time, which tells me something has been done in the ROM department.

But when I have it up and running, everything seems just as they were before the operation, and when I start CM Updater it says "Running version: CyanogenMod-3.9.8"

I tried again, this time I booted the phone before I did the Nandroid restore, was met with the "factory fresh" Google account login screen (so it looked wiped to me...), then did a reboot to recovery and a Nandroid restore, reboot, checked CM Updater: "Running version: CyanogenMod-3.9.8".

Maybe I need to tweak my ROM updating routines..?

:-)

I have 3 partion SD card, so apps2sd is running.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks,

Christopher:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
I'm kinda confused here, it's Monday morning. Since your trying to upgrade why do you keep doing a nandroid restore? You only want to restore nandroid if you want to go back to that previous point when you made the restore point. If you are just upgrading, just upgrade without restoring nandroid.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username_:
do exactly what you did without doing the nandroid restore at the end
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Nandroid Restore is pretty simple.

Say you have ROM1 installed and there is an experimental ROM2beta out. So you want to try it.

Do a nandroid backup and it saves it to your sdcard.

The files that are saved are:

recovery.img

data.img

system.img

cache.img

misc.img

boot.img

This is almost every part of your phone except the spl and radio.

When you do a ROM upgrade MOST of the time it only updates the system and boot (some ROMs like Hero wipe/update the system, data, cache and boot.) But if your going from Cyan1 to Cyan2 then the only things being changed are system.img and boot.img. Unless you wipe, everything else should remain the same.

With all that said... you flash from ROM1 to ROM2beta and then do a restore from the ROM1 backup. So what does that mean for your phone? Is it possible to have ROM2beta ROM with the ROM1 system.img and boot.img? No. Since system.img is restoring the key elements for the ROM1 over your newly flashed ROM2beta. Bottom line. You'd be right back to where you started.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grenness:
Which explains what I am experiencing.

Thanks, 36!

That means I have misunderstood what Nandroid does.

I thought it would just take a backup of "user changed" files, like application data, configurations, call logs, that sort of things - like MyBackup Pro, more or less.

Guess I will get back to using MyBackup Pro before I upgrade my ROM.

Thanks, this really clarified things - I'm sorry I had to post such a n00b question, but I haven't found any other Nandroid postings telling me in such details what Nandroid backs up (and restores) - but then again I probably haven't looked hard enough! ;-)

~Christopher
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikLSP:
Seems I had the same misconception and it seems that Nandroid is not nearly as useful as I had been led to believe by all the posts harping on about it. What I want is a backup of all my user data which I can restore to the updated ROM. Luckily I suspected Nandroid wasn't going to do this and used MyBackup Pro too ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] random_username_:
nandroid can do this you just have to do a backup flash youre rom then push youre data.img
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herolova:
I understand you push the data.img but.....

how...

please
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Binary100100:
Perform a nandroid backup

Locate the backup on your sdcard under the foler "Nandroid"

Navigate to the last folder (this should be your latest)

Copy all or at least the folder that you want to push back (in this case just data.img to a directory say c:\nandroidbackup)

Open the cmd prompt and make sure that you have your fastboot.exe file in your pc's system32 directory.

If your phone is already on type "adb shell reboot recovery" in the cmd prompt to get to the bootloader and ready for FASTBOOT and then type "exit" to quit the adb shell.

If not then power on your phone while holding the camera button to get to the bootloader and then press the back button on your handset to get to FASTBOOT mode.

On your cmd prompt type "cd" along with the location of the data.img file (example cd c:\nandroidbackup) to move the command prompt to the backup location.

On the cmd prompt type fastboot flash userdata data.img and hit enter.

You should see "sending" followed by "writing" once complete type fastboot reboot and hit enter.

That should do it.

Now mind you that pushing your data across different builds may not work. If you are trying to restore your data on Hero that was previously saved from Cupcake then you're wasting your time. And vice versa. Always store a backup or two on your pc for quick and easy access in case something doesn't work.

In the event that it does not work simply wipe and follow the above directions to restore.

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Thanks great thanks mate!!:):):):)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatN:
This step fails for me during the "verifying signature" phase. I believe this is todo with my spl.

Is it possible to use adb to do this? or will the spl still prevent it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nikmash232:
does anyone know if t-mobile forces you to put a data plan on the mytouch if you use it?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] slimm13:
Yes they do.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] donepate:
you will be required to only if you use the discount available by redoing your contract. no contract extention, no mandatory internet. You will have to pay full price ($500) to avoid internet.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] nikmash232:
well i always buy used fones from craigslist anyways soo yeah i can avoid internet jus making sure its not like at&t where they just add the data plan on your iphone when you put your sim in the iphone
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] bastage:
I Would root it & install an ion rom 1st jsut to be sure.. then they couldnt tell
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] donepate:
T-Mobile policy is, as long as you buy the phone full price, no "mandatory" internet. as far as AT&T is concerned, i would ask how they can add it on without your permision legaly. I don't know I don"t work for AT&T. Go Talk to a T-MO rep. In person. No over the phone stuff. Look into the eyes. I cannot say why I know. Just know. It has EVERYTHING to do with your contract RENEWAL. Buy the phone full price, no internet add-on necessary. TMO policy as of yesterday.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] donepate:
Just as a side note. You will not recieve MMS messages as long as you are on the Stock MyTouch rom. Just speaking from experience.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesx4911:
Sometimes my phone goes into like suspend mode where the screen times out, and I can not wake it up. I press every button nothing happens. If I hold the power button it does not come on. I have to take the battery out and turn the power back on. What is this? Its very annoying.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Post some spec. Are you rooted? If so, what rom are you on? Does it do it on specific roms or on all? Just need some more info to help.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesx4911:
Radio: 2.22.19.26I

SPL: 1.33.2005

ROM: Cyanogen 3.9.10

the phone is rooted
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesx4911:
Well I just got this phone and I went straight to this rom, didnt try any other rom on this phone. So I can only say it happens on this rom only.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
Have you tried any other roms to see if it would do it? Have you tried it on the stock facotry rom? If the problem still exist on all roms then it will be a hardware problem and need to be sent off.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikesx4911:
I ran the stock rom for only about 15 mins lol. The problem never occurred. Im thinking its the rom, but I haven't anyone else complain about this issue. I guess I try some different roms if the issues continue.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
There have been some people that had this issue and either it was rom related or hardware related. So I would try another rom and see if it does it, if it does then try the stock and if it still happens then you know you might need to get a new phone. But the phone is still under a year old so it will be covered under warranty.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cloverdale:
This is a common problem referred to as a phone coma, which happens on some Cyanogen builds. Update to the latest stable build and you will be fine.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leepriestenator:
Finally decided to get a T-Mobile US TP2

Q0. Other than the looks, what else is different between the International Unbranded HTC TP2 and the US T-Mobile TP2

Q1. I've been told the US 3G bands are different from the Asian / UK 3G bands. The Asian bands if I'm not mistaken are "HSDPA 900 / 2100". Can anybody cite the US bands? Also I know that 2100 is common for both US and UK... will that be enough to use 3G in Asia?

Q2. Obviously I would need to get the phone SIM unlocked. For once I couldn't find anthing on XDA to unlock the TP2. Any light on that would be great

Q3. I noticed that Hard-SPL is now available for TP2. I'm assuming that means I can flash it with any ROM. Would doing that automatically unlock the phone to be used with any SIM?

Need answers to these real fast guys... got a good deal on eBay.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bravo261:
0. mostly looks and 3g bands

1. tmobile 3g is strictly for tmobile 3g. anywhere else and its edge for you

2. no free sim-unlocker yet

3. Hardspl is for flashing roms...completely separate from sim cards
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leepriestenator:
Oh man... that sux. I was really hoping that atleast one of the T-mobile bands would be compatible with the Asian 3G bands. Do you have any idea what bands T-Mobile operates on?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
HSPA/WCDMA

1700/2100 MHz

Note the 2100 band is part of AWS which means it's not compatible with Asia 2100. T-Mobile 3G requires both 1700 and 2100 to operate. One band is upload and one is download.

Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE

Quad-band 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] leepriestenator:
What exactly is the AWS?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] mingkee:
Advanced Wireless Service, which utilizes band IV (1710-1755 out; 2110-2155 in) for CDMA, UMTS, and LTE
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] scoojay:
Hi,

Yet another WinMo newbie here in the Topaz forum. I've not long moved over from having several Symbian phones. Jeezo is this platform difficult at times compared to Symbian, but some of the results are worth it when you look through the post your screens thread. Decided I wanted some of that goodness and go for the easiest option and install SPB Mobile Shell. I turned off tf3d before installing, but though it appears on my screen, nothing works on it, no touchiness, nada!

Anyone else have this problem, or give an insight how to fix this?

.

Using stock rom, major mods. Thanks in advance
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chris5s:
Hi - did you try soft reset? Or turning it off, removing the battery, then powering up again? Kind of a mantra to follow when installing some apps that hook into the operating system :D I've kinda got used to it!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] scoojay:
Yip, done all that. It's kinda weird as I had it a while ago when I first got the phone and thought tf3d was much better, so I uninstalled it.

The interface is there, but it doesn't do anything.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chris5s:
I used to have mob shell 3 but got rid coz it was a pain having to work my way thru those extra layers/menus to get at stuff. Found it buggy, too, needing resets all the time :(
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] NoSecks:
works fine for me

even im useing SPB mobile shell 3, IphoneScreenEmulator (iphoneToday) - WisbarAdvance+Desktop+ FE Widges(samsungSoftware Emulator) all at ones installed on my TD2 (im changing the Emulators as i want)

sometimes im funny to use SPB , sometimes IphoneToday, sometimes FE Widges , sometimes TFL3

(windows mobile 6.1 still =/ )

no bugs

no lags

everything's working fine ^_^
[G1 General] athflying:
So I live in an area that has 3G but I usually leave it off because half my time is spent in an area that has Edge only. Anyway, today I turned 3G on and instead of staying on edge or switching to 3G, in my network connection status I have an "H". I am running Cyan 4.0.2 and using the Hero community mix theme so I am not sure if in the Rom or theme, the icon for 3G was changed or not. I couldn't find any mention of it. Also, the more interesting part is, when I got home I ran a speed test via DSL reports and it's running at 3G speeds even though I am about 10-15 miles from where T-Mobile lists 3G coverage. Any ideas??
[G1 General] athflying:
Just to be sure I turned off 3G and cleared my broswer cache. Went to DSL reports and ran the iPhone speed test...clocked in at 84kbps using Edge. Cleared cache again, enabled 3G...the "H" appeared again and ran the test, clocked in at 842 kbps and like I said this is in an area that according to T-Mobile's coverage map does not have 3G coverage.
[G1 General] turboyo:
hsdpa Im assuming.. you are using a dream right? i thought non of them came activated for the H to come out for hsdpa .. HSDPA is a faster and newer protocal for data transmission pretty much tmobiles 3.5G
[G1 General] dudinatrix:
I'm not sure, but I have the same thing. I rooted for the first time yesterday. Before I installed the Hero Community theme, I had the normal 3G icon. After installing the theme, I have the H icon... so I think it's just the theme. But I'm a noob so I'm not to be trusted. :)
[G1 General] crpercodani:
Well you have one of those "good problems" lol. I didn't know tmobile had hsdpa yet but your lucky so nothing to worry about just enjoy the blazing fast speed your getting from it. And from wikipedia.com "	Quad band GSM / GPRS / EDGE: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

Dual band UMTS / HSDPA / HSUPA: UMTS 1700 / 2100 (US/Europe) (7.2/2 Mbit/s)"

So yea it does support it.
[G1 General] athflying:
Yup it's a Dream...it's a T-Mobile branded G1 that I am using on T-Mobile. Been rooted for awhile and on the 22nd I flashed Cyan's newest stable rom and the community mix theme. I had used the theme before, but never picked up "H", so that's why I wasn't sure if maybe the icon was changed or I am truly picking up a completely new data connection.
[G1 General] athflying:
After reading this, I am thinking he just changed the icon and coincidentaly I am getting 3G where I used to not. I know when 3G first came to this area, it took them a few days to update the coverage map. I am guessing the coverage was expanded and the coverage map just isn't updated yet.
[G1 General] athflying:
Just reread the change log in the theme thread and found this...

CHANGES in V.23

1.added updated Phone.apk to all versions

2.changed gloss version status bar to slick black, 3g icon to herolike (suggestion from Icead)

3.changed certain gloss version status bar notifications to match the theme

So no HSDPA on T-Mobile, but at least I finally have 3G at my house.
[G1 General] supremeteam256:
There is no HSPDA it's just an icon.
[G1 General] jashsu:
*groan*

FFS, how many times does this have to be discussed and rediscussed? All T-Mobile 3G commercial deployments in the US (and likely UK as well) are HSXPA.

PLEASE STOP POSTING ABOUT HTC "H" ICONS AND [WRONGLY] SUPPOSING THAT THE LACK OF A "H" ICON MEANS NON-HSXPA UNLESS YOU HAVE RUN A SPEED TEST!

Seriously folks. The "H" icon FUD has got to stop.

Hey guys, got a huge problem, I rooted my HTC Magic, it was working and all, but now (I'm using Fatality HERO) it doesn't startup, it gets stuck on the HERO screen. Even worse is my phone turned itself off after saying SD Card corrupted.... and now when I cm recovery, it doesn't recongise the damn SD card, I've tried the reset thing by holding home and back, I'm totally lost. HELP!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] briggs81:
32a or 32b?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aneesh99:
32B, although I seemed to have fixed it. I dug out the original 2GB MicroSD, put another Fatality ROM on it, and reflashed the ROM on, works now :) I'm wondering what to do with my 8GB mSD card though. Should I pop it back into my HTC a reformat it? Or will it kill the phone again?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] briggs81:
I just use this thing.

http://www.sdcard.org/consumers/formatter/

Or the built in one in the RAv1.2.1 recovery rom.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aneesh99:
Haha fixed that too :) Lolz!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] korndub:
ok so rather than realize that the sd card was the problem, you rebooted and wiped your phone. the first step you should have taken was to reformat the sd card. when you use the sd card to run apps there is a higher chance of corruption.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] aneesh99:
Nah, it said the SD was corrupt, wouldn't let me format, then my phone ran out of battery, which was :( Then my problem started because obv. it doesn't mount the SD card, and my backup image is on there. When I booted up, it got stuck on the HERO screen... blah blah..... Well, it's working now, although, now with a formatted SD, I don't have a backup of my original ROM, which is lame. I was lucky to have a spare SD, or I would have been done for!

The Fatal1ty ROM has a problem with SD cards, every time you mount via USB and then unmount, it tells you the card has corrupted. After you reboot your phone it comes back though. I would use one of the other Hero ROMs instead.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] ahmgsk:
ur ans

my friend boot to recovery mode use recovery-rav1.2.1h.img

and then format the card in to fat32+ext2+something it is

then put card in card reader put the rom u want >> in to sd n rename it to

update.zip

then insert the memory card n to phone

fastboot from pc top recovery again

then wait fopr 2mins to make recovery recg. ur card

then do 2 second option i think update using update.zip

it will do it work then reboot it

tadaaaa u get the os back

enjoyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] neoxtian:
hmmm

almost every 2 days i have to format my sd card, it keeps getting corrupt :/ i am using fatal1tys hero rom, but i cant update another rom because i always get an error message when i try to load a rom, i have a 32b mytouch
