[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
This has been covered in this forum many many times already. You don't have to dig up old threads and then add in some wrong information.

The AT&T 3G capable (850/1900) Hero is carried by Canadian carrier Telus, NOT Rogers. The phone is available from their website directly for CAD$499 + tax, without contract. They don't ship outside Canada, and people have reported that their local Telus stores do not sell them without opening a line. Some said that it could be purchased without contract at BestBuy (in Canada of course).

A friend (who lives in Canada) of mine helped me to get one. It is unbranded, but sim locked to Telus. Unlock code can be purchased on eBay for slightly over 20 bucks. Mine now works with AT&T 3G flawlessly. Note that the difference between this Hero and the European Hero, is in hardware. No ROM flashing will enable 850/1900 for 3G on the European Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
BTW, the support of the band 850 alone will not enable a phone to use AT&T 3G network. It requires BOTH 850 and 1900 together.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] evilive27:
Yup i'm from toronto and under contract with Rogers. I bought a Telus HTC Hero and unlocked it and it works perfect with Rogers. I took a trip down to NYC and it works on AT&T 3G with no problems.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tomerbn:
850/1900 VS. 900/2100 for 3G

I belive that hardware wise - they're not really different.

we already saw in the past hacks (for WM phones) to "enable" more bands.

I believe that HTC blocks part of the bands to complete certification faster (FCC, ETSI etc), and it can be tricked... once we'll have "US 3G" radio, we'll be able to play with it, and compare to "Europenian 3G" radio.

Tomer
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tsekh501:
Sorry but this is not the case. Rogers version of Dream and Magic have been out for long time already. Have you heard of any case where people can get European or T-Mobile versions of these phones to work on AT&T 3G?

1. The European Hero does not share the same hardware part number with the Telus Hero. The former is HERO100 and the latter is HERO130. Note that this part number is independent of the ROM installed. Asian Heros (Hong Kong, Taiwan, China etc), all have different ROMs but they are all HERO100.

2. Your "certification theory" is wrong. This type of certification doesn't work that way. Adding another chip to support 2 more bands won't delay the certification by months. Days, at most, if at all.

3. Continued from 2. The HERO100 was never sent to FCC for certification. I have both phones with me right now, and there is no FCC certification logo on the HERO100 hardware or on the box, while the FCC logo is easily spotted on the HERO130.

4. People on the other thread had report dialing problems flashing HERO100 radio rom onto HERO130. The problem went away by flashing a newer HERO100 (but no one knows where it came from) radio rom, although people are still reporting SMS problem with this radio rom on HERO130. This radio has been reported to work perfectly (indeed, a lot reported better reception) on HERO100. If the HERO100 and the HERO130 share the same hardware, the difference should go away by flashing the same rom. The fact that, with the same rom the HERO130 supports 850/1900 for 3G while the HERO100 doesn't, clearly indicate the difference in hardware.

While it is not impossible for cell phone manufacturers modify radio rom to restrict bands that their phones support, this is very uncommon (Can you name those WinMo device that you mentioned?). On the other hand, almost every cell phone model has various verisons of hardware to support different bands in different countries. A chip that supports fewer bands costs less. When there are enough demand to move sales, it is much more profitable to produce a region specific hardware with a cheaper chip than to write code to restrict the functionality of a more expensive chip that supports bands that that region never needs.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] linkinincubus:
Well if this Hero130 exists lol then what is all the fuss about!?! Has anyone ordered from import gsm before? I've been in the cell world for a while and this is the first I have heard of them!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Corpsed:
Just got my black HTC Hero from Import GSM today. It's the Telus version, unlocked, and has both 850 and 1900 AT&T 3G frequencies. It works flawlessly on AT&T 3G. Very happy with it.

Now, as I'm completely new to Android, I'm trying to figure out how to root it. Apparently I must first downgrade the build version to something less than 2.73.x in order to root it. I'm kinda lost. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon, heh.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BlueHawk:
Follow this guide to downgrade - Telus Hero rooting guide

If you are lucky enough to live near the border, you can come over and buy the hardware outright from a Canadian Best Buy or from a Telus outlet. You can get an unlock code from eBay. 3G works fine on Rogers and HSDPA/HSDPA+ does too.

The complicated ROM replacement/rooting strategy is necessary because the default system doesn't allow you to flash a recovery image remotely. The flashrec app allows you to flash a recovery image from the phone's SD card. Once you have a recovery image, you use the booted recovery image to flash a ROM to the phone - you'll want the MoDaCo ROM as it is rooted and has tweaks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Corpsed:
Thanks for the heads up. I've been using MoDaCo ROM for a few days and it's pretty nice. I think I forgot to setup APPS2SD as I'm already running out of app install space. Will have to reflash asap I guess! Thanks for the help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ranthalion75:
A while ago I had a Today plugin that showed (using text) the Wifi network you were connected to, if Phone and BT were on or off, and I believe you could add or remove these and a couple of other things. When clicked, this plugin would take you to the Comm Manager.

I've tried to find it, searching for hours and only found a couple of togglers. Can anyone help me find this plugin?

Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Mark Crouch:
It's the "Wireless Today" plugin - see my post here. It's also available as an option in the "KaiserTweaks" utility - you don't say what device you're using, so you might not be able to use that. It's also available as a setting in Schap's Advanced Config (v3.x) utility.

There's also a "Wireless Today Plugin v1.5" - see this post - that gives you the option of displaying battery / memory info too.

Hopefully one of the above will sort you out ;)

Mark.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Ranthalion75:
:D AHHHH!!! Thank you! It was the first link. I DO use the Kaiser. I'm so glad to have this back! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Mark Crouch:
No problem - glad to be able to help ;)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bansawbanchee:
how do i extend memory in linux swap through console?

like to 64mb or the next level?

thks
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
you would have to re-partition your sdcard to include a larger linux-swap partition.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bansawbanchee:
would it be possible for you to give me the code i would type on comsole if i wanted 1gb ext4 and 64 or or of swap?

i have been looking everywhere but i cant seem to find it.

i used 51dustys script for the partioning part nothing on swap in there. it created it for me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
You could use gparted or the partion editor in ubuntu to resize it but it will takes about a half hour to resize and you would have to do it twice since you would also have to resize your ext partion to give you space to extend your swap. It's easier and quicker to just backup and format
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bansawbanchee:
ok q. if i go into console and change sd fat32 size to say 2gb. and how would i get ext4 to 1gb everytime i try it reverts back to ext2 i can get ext2 to 1gb but i want ext4. and if i got it like that would the remainder be swap?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
You do not need over 500 mb for your ext and anything over 96mb for your swap is quite excessive.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bansawbanchee:
ok i understand that. but with 96mb i would like. its not neccessary for me to have 1gb of ext jst the swap
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Reverend Gridlock:
Either reformat or download either gparted or ubuntu and make a live cd and use either one to resize
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bansawbanchee:
thks everyone for info

shold have retraced steps

51dustys script has all i need to complete swap. il try it out monday. also his script will do the format for you from console.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djosiah:
i know you have already found your answer, but i used sdparted to partition my card and it is very simple and easy.

[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] nactownag:
Hi. New here. I'm wondering if there is an application that will make my Touch Pro display the actual signal strength at the top rather than the bars.

I've done a fair amount of searching and haven't seen anything much but maybe I'm not looking in the right place.

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] drtolson:
Actually, it's not quite that simple. The display of 'bars' is actually the result of a fairly complicated algorithm, that takes into account signal strength, quality, and transmission diagnostics. And it isn't the same for all providers either. Each cell provider installs their own application/algorithm to determine and display bars. There was an article about this on the Wired site a few months (or so) ago. And here's one that's similar...

[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Is anyone experiencing timestamp issues with their Hero?

I sent an SMS at 8.20 am, and when I got the reply at 8.23 am, it shows the message arriving at 8.13 am, and is displayed above my message in Messages.

Does anyone know of a fix for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jpalo:
Apparently fixed in new Dream/Magic ROMS that are just out http://www.htc.com/ca/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=270&cat=2&dl_id=653.

Haven't found Hero ROM yet, but assuming it has similar fixes.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ghoonk:
Hey, thanks for the quick reply!

I've just been doing some testing and here's the weird part -- I don't get timestamp issues if I send and receive SMS messages between 2 SIMs on the same network. But if I receive SMS messages from other operators, the timestamp is off by a few minutes.

This has me wondering if my operator's SMSC's clock is off. Will have to check

How can you tell your card is partitioned properly? I used the recovery image to do the Fat32 ext2/3 linux-swap but every hero rom i run lags at rosie home screen for ages. I just need someone pc oriented to guide me through the process of viewing the partitions. Very easy.

can someone call me and discuss this process?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] lakeman:
I have never had this problem but have probably read most of the athena forum.

Sounds like your bootloader is stuffed , but try doing a hard reset whithout sd or simcard to see if the tricolor screen returns.

If not I suspect your machine is stuffed .
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] BPHC:
what is stuffed

[Touch HD General] 4ltair:
First of all, Hello

I have a HTC Touch HD which is locked in Vodafone (i am from Romania).

I have used the SIM Unlock program that this site provides for contributing members and i have a problem:

I have followed all the steps and i have unlocked my phone but when i put an Orange RO SIM, it cannot register in the network, even though if i try with another SIM from another carrier, it works.

My question is: is there a way to revert the phone to its locked status like it was before i used the unlocker?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] svntsvn:
need help to make sure my card is partitioned properly.

I used the recovery image to do the partition, but im afraid i am not getting the linux swap portion, or maybe it isnt visible.

I dont think it will be fixed, cause the cooker changes the original values. I guess that cause my attachment was from a version 23037 where it seems ok.

But I have found how to make it fit :P... its really easy, just use Advanced Config and change the Menu bar font size under User Interface to 800 and it fits.

Also there can be change the Popup menu font size, but I need to found how to make smaller the up and down space between each word. so it doesnt look a big space with small words.

Dear Shaik,

I have downloaded many available roms to be flashed on my HTC TOUCH ELF0100(P3450), but unfortunately none worked.

It either says Invalid Model No. or

ROM Utility did not open or

sometimes it does start to upload, but the phone restarts after 3% and it cancels the upload.

Can you kindly guide me on a step by step procedure to upgrade my P3450 with a WM6.1 or 6.5 (even Khatri's or Made in India V2) ROM.

I have downloaded the following ROMs:

ELF SX 2.0 / ELF SX 4.1 / Elf-in-Shadow 2.1 CE / Miky 6682_ful_WWE / Onxy_ult_4.6 / RUU_Elfin_hTc_Asia_WWE_30770702_411371_033490_Blue.exe / Made_in_India V2

Your immediate response with step wise procedure and possible links would help..
