Heros only Real Problem?

Heros only Real Problem?

What about the Accelerometer issue? I hoped that this would be fixed with the new ROM but its still there, not as bad as before, but still there. I can Calibrate on every table and even on the Floor. But it just senses -0.1 g in vertical direction even on the most perfect balanced surface. Its not too bad. but the ball in Teeter and Labyrinth Lite keeps rolling in the wrong direction...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cengal:
Wipe what? I haven't installed. I using the ROM that it came packaged with. The android forums has lots of people with the same issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Ah, I see. You haven't installed the update, and you're having problems on the original ROM. Odd problem to have, I can't say I had that problem on the original firmware despite having a very early production model.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Plattendoktor:
I got the same problem. The most music lags happen while in standby. And then it lags even during the "whole" song.

Its jars on my nerves! :(

I wrote to the support of HTC and wait for their answer.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sausageman:
I found this happened when wifi was on. Turning it off removed stutters
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
come on, you didn't buy the htc hero to get a perfect accelerometer did you? It works with games and all those other apps even though it is not perfect on flat surfaces it gets the job done.

And how often do you hold the device perfectly flat in your hand? I can see that it may be bugging some times, but this is REALLY not a big issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zippy1970:
(Holy old thread resurrection, Batman!)

Of course it's a big issue. One of the selling points of the Hero is the accelerometer and the many, many apps that use it. Of course it gets the job done, but say for instance the built-in GPS would be constantly off by 100 yards in the same direction, making navigation "bugging", would you still say it's not REALLY a problem because it gets the job done? Heck, following your logic, the speed problem wasn't really a problem either because "it got the job done".

We just received the update here in Holland, and one of the things I was hoping it would fix was the accelerometer problem.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tommii89:
Hey everyone, relatively new to updating my htc's rom, what is the best hero rom for 32A?

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Jrbourque:
Just start flashing and testing like the rest of us lol
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] tommii89:
I know that :P

But have any of the ROMS been tested to the point that they are stable and reliable? Or are they all still basic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bhav007:
I've given up on a stable and FAST hero rom for now - using cyanogens 4.0.1 - far more stable, fast and reliable than hero roms. I'm having a dropped sms problem on ALL hero roms i've tested, so i'll stick to a non-hero rom untill something good comes up. Rest is all fine, apart from occasional rosie restarts.

Some people claim they have no sms issues, but am a heavy texter so I cant afford dropped sms's. As Jrbourque said - test and help us iron out the bugs. ;)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] motivecc:
same exact thing i did... people say it runs fine with a class 6 card but i have a 16gb class 6 that i run with hero roms with a 500 ext2 or ext3, and it eventually slows down over time... waiting for a hero rom that does not utilize apps2sd to try out
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Win7:
i want to cook a rom myself but to do that you need the original OEM stuff (drivers,...) but how do i get them?

i do have a english mio a201 rom (*.bin format), can i extract the files from that rom, if so, how??

i use the erviuskitchen

Thanks, appreciate all help:)

Does any of those come with the HTC Widgets included in the real Htc Hero Phone? Im a Newb at Rooting but have been reading up on it for almost a year now.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Yes, they come with a whole gaggle of widgets. (ie twitter, email, weather, contacts etc)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickryan0612:
Are you Talking about Roms Or Themes or Both?

And Does Hero Themes require Danger SPL as well
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
I'm speaking specifically on ROMs because that is what I have flashed and tested.

As far as themes, I can only say that I suspect the widgets that do exist within the theme may just be themed cupcake widgets and not necessarily hero widgets.

As far as the danger spl, if you want to run a hero theme on a cupcake (1.5) ROM, then no, you probably don't need the danger spl. If you want the true hero experience though (lag and all), then you will need to flash a ROM and the danger spl
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickryan0612:
Thank you totally understand. I would not like the lag.

Now im just debating what theme i would want? Thanks again
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] All~G1:
Most themes and roms will have a change log or feature list of what is included in them.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickryan0612:
It states in the relases notes that "Not vulnerable to the "one click root" exploit"!

Is he talking about Recovery Flasher that was just leaked/released.

Basically can i use Recovery Flasher and then Flash this Rom right after with No SPL Change or Radio Change From a Never Rooted Phone
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borodin1:
What it means is that kernel was patched against this volunerability. You can flash recovery and then this rom but if you were to try using one-click afterwards it would not let you since cyan patched it. Shouldn't matter though cause if you're flashing this rom you already have root.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
answer

He is talking about the kernel vulnerability that allows the one click rooting program to work.

If you don't have a rooted phone and have received no patches or security updates from your carrier, then you are able to take advantage of the vulnerability with the one click root program because if you will flash 4.0.1 after you exploit the kernel vulnerability.

I would suggest upgrading to the hard spl or engineering spl at the very least and the danger spl only if you plan to run a hero ROM. I would also suggest upgrading to the latest radio so you can take advantage of improved wireless capabilities (ie better reception, bluetooth etc)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickryan0612:
Thanks Both of you im thinking of rooting but dont know if it would be worth it since last time i did i got a brick but i was so dumb and full of myslef after rooting i flashed the danger spl without upgrading the radio and just booted up my phone without going into recovery

Sorry Direct i found the semi relevant post to this one that you were helping out a bunch of noobs

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Faisal Tasleem:
Hello,

I actually want to know one thing. What is the difference between ROM and RADIO version?

Can you please help me out with it? Is it possible that RADIO version will effect on some functionality of device? Like if the radio is old it will be disturbing the user?

Thank you very much.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ibeqa:
Search, search, search!!!

Everything is explained in the forums and wiki.

The whole ROM is divided on three parts: OS, Radio and extROM. Now, OS (well you know, operating system), Radio ROM is where you have GSM (if you fry this say goodbuy to your device), Radio ROMs differ for the various part of the world, meaning that a Radio that works well in one part of Europe will not work so good on other countries (search the forum and wiki which Radio will be best for your country), and finaly extROM is part where operators put their **** on the device.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Faisal Tasleem:
Sir,

I was asking this information because I have the same problem as : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543905

I am not able to find where the exact problem is. That was the reason I thought, it might help to upgrade the ROM or Radio version in order to solve this problem.

Before Yesterday it showed, 20% battery left and I got low battery notification. But after 24 hours. Today also the phone is still on and battery is on 20%.

Help please...

Thank you very much.

FAISAL!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ibeqa:
One of the best Radio ROMs for me and a lot of people here is version 1.47. Search the forum there is a thread with a link in rapidshare.

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Faisal Tasleem:
Sir,

I have 1.48.x . Is it Ok?

I mean it's newer version. Is it Ok or I have to do the 1.47 ?

Thank you very much.

FAISAL!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ibeqa:
Newer does not necessary mean better. You can always check both versions and than decide which one suits you.

Cheers

P.S. Don't forget to do HardSPL before you change the Radio.

Hey guys. I was wondering if anybody installed the opera browser 97b1 version on their magics yet? Or is it possible? Thanks.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] greygabe:
I have a Fuze set up for tethering using the native "Internet Sharing" app on AT&T.

It's set up using MediaNet (I'm not paying the tethering monthly fee).

As far as I can tell - everything is working as it has for a long time now

EXCEPT Facebook. I've tried multiple browsers and got nothing.

When I brought up a proxy Facebook came up with all the normal glitches of a proxy so that's not a permanent solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] XERO_Racer:
same here, tried going on facebook and it shows i cant go on the site idk if its facebook or AT&T or both, but i know for a fact the mobile version of facebook works, m.facebook.com but no comfirmation of the full version, ill look around and see whats the problem but like i said it could be either AT&T or facebook or both tbh
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] syko1312:
ahhh...i hate this....but yeah m.facebook.com does work...but it sucks...lol...thanks for the info...hopefully someone answers us soon!!!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] SH4YD33:
Yep.. im in a hotel right now and im blocked.. Pretty pissed about it might call ATT if it isnt resolved by tomorrow..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] ntron1:
It is also blocked using WMWifiRouter in Wifi mode.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] greygabe:
Oh wow - so this is bigger than AT&T blocking me personally...

It sounds like we all have the same symptoms

My m.facebook (pulling it up on my phone) also works fine

I would call AT&T, but I'm not paying for tethering so I doubt they'll be too receptive

What doesn't make sense to me is why would they block just Facebook? Why not block everything from us non-payers if they have this ability? Not saying I want that - but it just seems odd

Can a paying tethering customer tell us if you can still get on Facebook??
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] aadadams:
I thought I was just having some strange FB issue. I cannot go on using my tethered connection or my desktop at work anymore... Very strange...

its odd that att added facebook to their list but its ineviteble the block lots of site on their dns i found this out months ago when megavideo sudenly stoped working the best work around is to not use their dns its slow and crappy use opendns is fast and free even warns you against malware site you might be tricked onto clicking on. its what i use its alot more reliable than a cloaking site or proxys.

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

I have typed that in 5 times and it says it's a syntax error. I'm guessing it's a space issue or something. My phone is down.

What is the exact syntax?

Thanks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirectMatrix:
Are you sure your at the root prompt? Looks like this # and not this $
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
That syntax is correct. Are you invoking busybox's mount?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlacy76:
I finally got it, thanks.

The way it shows in the root guide is:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

The way I had to type it.

mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3/system

It turned out to be a spaces issue.

I got that part done and then is said "Can't cd sdcard"

My sd card is formatted fat 32 and loaded the rc29 fine but won't cd to sd card. Does it need partitions or something?

Honestly, this is one of the most frustrating things I have ever done in trying to root this phone. Now I can't even use mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3/system.

Please help me out I am still getting usage errors. It must be something to do with spaces in the syntax of mount -o rw, remount -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3/system
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jashsu:
The syntax of those lines is all messed up. You need spaces between "yaffs2" and "/dev/block/mtdblock3" and "/system". If your phone is already rooted, just hook it up to adb and type adb remount.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlacy76:
Thanks jashsu, that did it. For a total noob like me, I just didn't understand.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cavenger:
I have the Tmobile version and I am thoroughly disappointed with the sound quality of the earpiece. Should I return this thing? I am pretty satisfied with this rest of the phone minus a few quirks here and there.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] codykemper:
I think they all have low volume quality I have the same problem. If you look thru some of the post for cabs theres some things to raise the volume beyond whats on the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Seifer1975:
Funny.. I am using an branded TP2 and I have very fantastic sound quality of the earpiece (I assume it's the phone earpiece that you put against ur ear to hear what the other party is saying). In fact, my earpiece volume is set to the 1st notch only and even then I find it too loud at times.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ace10134:
When you call T-Mobile customers, it'll sound fine.

When you call non-T-Mobile customers, you can barely hear them.

That's what I've found.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kourampies:
I dont know about branded devices, but the sound quality of an unbranded gsm rhodium is amazing. Not extremely loud, but quality like that is found in very few devices, and almost no windows mobile device.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] f1ip:
yeah, even calling voicemail is about the same. I have the volume all the way up, it sounds muffled.

between the minimum and the maximum, the loudness increases only about twice as loud.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Shasarak:
That's been my experience, too - very loud, and very clear (which is great for me, as I'm partially deaf). It's actually as clear as a land-line phone.

I wonder if some of the people having volume problems haven't taken off the default screen-protector which actually covers the ear-piece speaker. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] f1ip:
I already took mine off.. and it sounded the same too.. before and after taking out the factory screen protector.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] highdragon5886:
I am having the situation (muffled sound and decreased volume) with my T-Mobile Touch Pro2. I believe T-Mobile tweaked it to be lower than the OEM version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kourampies:
well now that hspl is out, you can test if its a hardware or software tweak. i really hope for you thats a software tweak, its a shame to not have the awesome in call sound of the unbranded tp2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
Yup, took mine off, and mine is pretty low as well. I'm going to search for the volume cab and see if I can tweak it a bit. That's the only issue I have with the phone really.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Stisse:
Had my for a week and iam very satiestfyed.. I had severals HTC phones before nad this one rocks on the sound..

With earphones i have to have the lowes volyme... almost to high on the lowes.

without earphones the sound is perfect,

Think this is the only HTC that I would be listen to music in, great sound with music.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Mike Mercury:
and there lies the problem IMO. On the T-Mo version there's an audiopara file (sorry, right now I don't have the exact filename handy) specifically for the T-Mobile version of the TP2. In fact, the file name includes the letters "TMO" in its name.

So in this discussion about the TP2 and "poor earpiece volume", it's important for posters to mention whether they have the HTC un-branded version or the T-Mobile version.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
My volume sounds pretty good. I have the TMO version. It's a bit lacking on the highs but I can hear people clearly.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dougstoner:
I have the Tmobile version, and I can hear clearly, but it doesn't go as high as my past phones have. If I'm in an area with background noise, it's really hard to hear. My old wing and mda would go much louder than the tp2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
I'm looking at the audio para files right now. On the TMO version there is a TMO, ATT, and just plain AudioPara. I'm going to see if there are any differences in the files. And maybe try to tweak it.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Kloc:
The audiopara for TMO and ATT files look like they have the same settings but the audiopara3 file has higher settings. I'll change the TMO file to match the base file and see if that makes any change.

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

Anyone know how to get past the system read only. It won't let me replace the file I've tried to disable read only but It won't work. Do I need to unlock the device to do this?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Illodin:
AudioPara increases the volume

Hi

Why don't you test this one. Just copy to Windows folder. Sound will be very loud and clear.

Please notice I'm just delivering the file, credits goes someone else. Sorry, I don't remember his name.

Illodin
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] chiasoft:
Get Resco File Explorer, and copy AudioPara3.csv to SD Card if avail, and Rename to AudioPara3_TMO.csv, then copy that back to the \windows directory. It will prompt an overwrite, just confirm it. Reboot device, and your audio is back to normal. T-Mobile + US FCC sucks balls where they have to lower volume and strip functionality off everything. Good Job US effing Government bureaucracy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ekerbuddyeker:
can someone CAB this?

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] acesmythe:
I have no idea what you guys are talking about in a few respects;

1: My default screen protector did not cover any part of any speaker on the phone, there was a hold cut for the front-facing speaker specifically

2: My MDA was freakin loud as a klaxon, I had to hold it away from my hear for fear that it would ruin my hearing. Maybe you guys are just used to that ( like standing next to the speakers at a rock concert )

3: *edited in because I forgot* My call volume is awesome on this phone. It's a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, standard rom, no volume plugins or modifications. I seriously don't mean this as a slight or a joke, I think some of you need to see an ear doctor.
