how do yo uget to the selection between GPRS, EDGE, 3G and H? Thanks!
[Touch HD General] Dumdidum:
Can anyone tell me one logic reason, why:

- in SMS Message in Manila, when I am at the view "newest SMS message", and I want to see the second newest message, I have to move my finger UP

- in Email View in Manila, when I am at the view "newest Email", and I want to see the second newest email, I Have to move my finger DOWN

??

Its just a small thing, but it is annoying me...

What do you think?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Moved to general discussion as not related to rom development
[Touch HD General] ^Apo^:
this annoys me every day too :-\
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
recently my phone has not been going off when I get an appointment.

Lets say I set an appointment for 2 pm and ask for a reminder 30 mins before. I dont get any sound or notification.

Any idea whats going on?

Thanks
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Not to state the obvious, but have you checked Settings > Sounds & Notifications to ensure that notifications isn't unticked?
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
I am using SPB phone suite which has profiles.

I checked notifications is ticked.
[Touch HD General] scscc3:
Is it just that the notification tone isn't playing?

There was a bug with some of Dutty's roms that if your notification tone wasn't set to the default one, it wouldn't sound at all.
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Yes no notification alarm or pop up.

So I have an appointment for 10 am and I put a 30 min reminder. I will get no reminder, the profile will switch to meeting mode automatically but no popup reminder or sound notification.

Im using the stock ROM.
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Some one please help.
[Touch HD General] farral:
I had the same problem few months ago but after about a week time it started to work again itself. I don't know why it didn't work. Since then the problem didn't appear any more.

I suspected S2U2 but I don't know if it was the reason.

farral
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
I have not made any changes except uninstalling SPB imageer.
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Not sure what culprit is, but you could backup your contacts/emails etc, do a hard reset and see if problem still exists on bare rom. If it doesn't, install one software at a time, test if it works, then proceed with next app until you find possible culprit
[Touch HD General] farral:
I noticed that changing the patterns in calendar from "occur once" to any more complicated, like "from Tuesday to Friday" i.e. might be responsible for the problem. Few months ago I started to create more advanced remainders in calendar and after couple days it stopped remind me of any event.

I didn't notice where the problem was, because the problem didn't appear instantly but after 2-3 days.

Few days ago I tried to edit patterns and two days later the problem came back again.

Could someone investigate this issue on his own HTC to confirm the source of the problem, please.

Is there any update for calendar?

PS. Sorry for my poor English.

farral
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Well after 2 days it went back to working by it self.

Its working fine now.

I do have 1 complex reminder. Basically it says remind me every 24th of the month for the coming 3 years

But thats still working normally.
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
It stopped again. I have not modified anything.
[Touch HD General] alltruism:
I had that problem too. The free app pmClean fixed it for me:

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-pmclean-v1-06.html

You can set it to automatically repair the Notification Queue every day, which seems to fix the problem with reminders not triggering
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
alltruism,

I have Memmaid and used to find duplicates/dangling/expired/invalid and it found nothing.

Ill try the app you mentioned and hopfully it fixes it.
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Ok in downloaded and installed PMclean v1.07 and i cleaned notifications. The first time I had like 27 and then after the cleaning it said 42. Then further cleaning just locked it at 42. Arent the numbers supposed to come down?

Anyway, I restarted and then tested. It worked, I tested again and it worked.

Wow thanks a lot Alltruism,but how come my Memmaid could not pick up on those Notification Que anomalies?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] greatbrit:
This is one that I'd really like to see a fix for. It was in WP5 and now in WP6. When I click on a specific appointment from the calendar, it brings up a nice full screen, except the appointment only shows wrapped over 2 lines. If the appointment is longer than that it doesn't even give me a clue until I tap on the words, then it shows a vertical scroll bar.

But why? There is so much room there, how come it doesn't show as much as it can on the screen? Is there any way to increase the 2 lines default?

Thank you for any ideas.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Publicglutton:
Hi all,

For those who do NOT have the New official rom yet..;)

Just thought you would all like to know that I have just spoken to to HTC customer services after a customer feedback call and he informed me that the New Speed-up rom will be availiable on the UK website tomorrow 16th september.....:D.so now we will al have an almost perfect device...;)

UPDATE

The New Rom is on the HTC website now...:D

This Rom is for UK and Unlocked Hero's, go here-

http://www.htc.com/uk/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=283&act=sd&cat=all
[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
The majority of us on XDA already have the update! ;)

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Publicglutton:
Yeah thanks for the encouragment to post here...:p

But I thought I would let those of us who have not got it or downloaded it early that it would be availiable tomorrow...I hope you approve..:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
Dave,

I presume we can only install the leaked UK rom if our hero is rooted?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
No, I have an Orange Hero which isn't rooted and you can update it using an update.zip file. Instructions are in another thread!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Biganth:
Is this a possibilty - my broadband at home is down due to BT being inept; could I download the update to my phone, transfer it to my laptop and then update? I'm a total noob so my apologies if there is an obvious answer :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] skauk:
will it not be OTA ?

when I had my Dream android updates were Over The Air does this mean that when 1.6 Android comes out we will have to wait for HTC to sort it out before we can update unlike with normal android OTA updates ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
From what I have read, google updates i.e. donut, eclair etc will be OTA. However the HTC updates will need to be updated by connecting your phone to your PC.

Hope this helps...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] disssko:
This is great news indeed, I have been polling HTC website like a madman for days now!

Shame the "Nordic" update still didn't have all the Nordic languages, I'm missing Finnish dictionary. Oh well, speed update is really great anyways, I haven't had the guts to install anything unofficial to my UK bought Hero.

Thanks for bringing the good news!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] g00nerz:
Hi chaps,

I have a T-Mobile G2 - for my phone's warranty to remain intact, do I need to wait for an official T-mobile version of the Rom, or can I update with the official HTC Hero Rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
Available NOW!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
Available NOW!!!

http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=283&cat=2&dl_id=671
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
I'm not seeing it on the HTC website - can you provide a link, please? :)

Thank you!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hasham11:
any idea whn will tmobile release their own version??
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Foka002:
yeah I have also T-Mobile G2 uk and I can't download from htc website. Can any one upload this rom and give us links unless t-mobile users can't use it. Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
Unless your Hero is unlocked, you can't download the rom.

THIS SUCKS!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yrreP:
Contact T-Mobile and complain to them then..! They DO have the ROM.. THEY are withholding its release!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chrisjasper:
Yeah, because complaining to T-Mobile always works.....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bigbamboo5:
Seems to take aaaaaages to download!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hasham11:
well i just spoke to tmobile technical dept and asked thm abt the update and they were under the intention tht it is going to get pushed like it did for the G1, so I explained to them tht it wont as G2 Touch aint a google branded phone, and then the guy goes he has no idea and also checked his system if they had anything there, luks like we have to wait longer to get this update on our tmobile branded phones.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ballandbiscuit:
If you want to update youself on a T-Mobile or Orange phone then you can use the update.zip rom from Modaco, just follow the instructions on there. The new bootloader thing you install first lets you do a backup so you can always restore back to a branded rom if you ever need to take it back for service etc.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] J-Zeus:
So the key questions are:

1) Can I use this on my Orange Hero ( HTC site says my phone not eligible ).

2) Will it damage / lock out a rooted phone? I recall reading somewhere that it disables Cyanogen's root. I'd like to be able to do a nandroid restore.

3) Will it work on a phone flashed with Modaco 2.2 ROM ( I'm guessing minimum wipe required )

4) If it will work OK, how can I get it onto my phone - I'm on a Mac and ave been flashing Roms using update.zip files no problem. If I have to do it through a PC I may have problems.

5) Will it be etter the Modaco's 2.2 Rom?

Answers on a postcard pleeze!! :D:D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T.K.B:
Isnt Modaco's 2.2 ROM based on this new official rom update anyways?? If so- then you're better off sticking with modacos rom.

And yes- the new ROM will lock out rooting abilities on your fone- means your fone will be unrooted...and unrootable.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kadison:
There is a way out of that situation, I recall it being posted here or on Modaco's site. All is not lost if you use RUU to update your phone and lose root.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stripealipe:
If it's taken this long to come out after being leaked, it does make you wonder why it didn't get released earlier for generic users.

I wonder if they've still tweaked anything under the bonnet?!

I hope Paul bases his custom ROMs on this new code just in case... ;)

Saying that, the later revision released in Korea has a new widget, so maybe they have added stuff in this version too? Anyone installed this new Euro version and noticed the new people widget?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] salmanbodla:
Well, this HTC update won't even work on your phone - hence no other option but to wait my dear, that is IF you want to go by the OFFICIAL way. I am sure there would be non-official ways around it though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kccl:
can anyone recommend a good way/app to back up my phone settings/apps/sms before i update the ROM?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] salmanbodla:
MYBACKUP from the Market (it is free!)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kccl:
what does the Pro version do that the free version can't?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] darrenmc168:
WHAT !!!

download speed is only at about 2.5k its so slow its ridiculous.

And what about a bluetooth update its appalling the state of it on the hero, in this day and age, i cant swap files with ANY other phone, and i cant connect to my car hands free, have to fanny about with the stupis 130 sec visibility , how stupid, i had a touch hd from htc on windows mobile and had no problems, then i move to the hero and find HTC have gone backwards...unbelievable !!!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stokedanuk:
I've been on the phone to Orange today and they said that they don't provide updates for phones and just direct to the manufacturers website...

Then on the HTC Website it says my device is not supported!

I'm lost... I only want to be official!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stokedanuk:
Right... another phonecall to Orange. They don't have any plans to release the update. So people on Orange won't be able to get the official Rom update.

I'm Gutted.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
The Orange rep was talking out of his bottom. I've had Orange updates for the M3100 and the Touch Diamond in my time. :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kccl:
choose the US download, its considerably faster than the European server.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stokedanuk:
Any ideas how long it took for Orange to release the update after HTC released it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dr.mid:
it is mooooore faster :eek:

thanx
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
Its imminent. Has been being tested for the last few weeks.

Be patient.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
It was a few weeks or even a couple of months. They made it difficult to find the Diamond update though...very strange.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] stokedanuk:
Good news. Thanks for this... I just wish that customer service knew what was happening!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
Don't suppose you know when it's coming out on Tmobile??

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dragonflyFZX:
cant download. Need serial number, will have to pull out the battery, etc etc. Dont feel like it. And reboot in windows, too? I will stick with modaco's ROM, heard it is the same anyway :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] salmanbodla:
Go unofficial ;) with a nandroid backup!! hehe
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Foka002:
I have just installed Madaco ROM few minutes ago, it was quite easy. I wanted to go official but as we can see t-mobile doesn't wanna help us. I have to say that the Madaco ROM is much faster and smoother than original t-mobile ROM.

Don't be scared! Go for it! ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ewaf:
Ok, i am on the UK T-Mobile HTC hero, and obviously because of my serial i cant bloody download it. Responding to the above post, is this the best thing to do in my situation? And if so cna u point me to where i can find a guide to do this? My phone isnt rooted and have no idea where to start, so i would greatly appreciate this, thankyou.

Does this update fix the backlight on the buttons and trackball, and notification LED? And the not receiving texts thing?

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JakobFriedrich:
how do i install it the legit way without rooting
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T.K.B:
HEREs a very good guide. I followed that and the next video for installing modaco- and it worked nicely.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ewaf:
Thanks. But does modaco fix backlit buttons/trackball/notification LEDs, and the not receiving texts thing?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chriswml:
I'm also one of the goofballs who went and got the "Orange" version of the Hero...could someone kindly upload / mirror the official HTC update so that the rest of us unfotunates can benefit from it?

Thanks!

DoH! found what I was looking for elsewhere on the forum thanks to one of the Mods... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=559622
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T.K.B:
I'm not sure if it fixes any of that- but I'm sure I read in some posts that it did fix those for those who installed modaco; I cant say cos I didnt have the problem anyways before I went modaco....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ewaf:
Humm, I think im gonna hold on a little bit and see if they release a T-mobile UK version, apprently T-mobile are testing it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] squirreleater:
I have read that if you change the last few numbers of your serial code it'll download/install even if you have a t mobile/orange phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Apfelbutzen:
I just upgraded to the new rom.

I made a nandroid backup before so how can I now restore my contacts any idea?

Regards,

Michael
[Hero, G2 Touch General] T.K.B:
Your contacts shouldve been synced through your google account
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Apfelbutzen:
hm I was not using google to sync my contact, probably a bad idea. Okay I made a backup I will figure out I guess
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chrisjasper:
If you change the last 3 digits of your serial you can indeed download it (for the record I reversed them)

Not sure about installing yet but I will give it a whirl and let you all know
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chrisjasper:
Nope, wont update without unlocking the phone or getting a t-mobile update....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ccsnet:
Where did you get that info from ? I'm interested too.

Terran
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wibble:
Just spoke with Orange. They said *IF* the update is available it will be on their business page under phones and devices. This was true of the official 6.1 ROM for the TyTnII (Kaiser)

Just dont know if i want to wait for it. Has anyone taken the plunge and downloaded the official ROM of the xda devs FTP and installed on ORange?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
There's a HUGE thread on the official TMobile forum regarding the official ROM update from Tmobile.

http://support.t-mobile.co.uk/discu...02397d01237a386684007c5d&messageit.offset=120

To summarise, there are A LOT of angry people awaiting official word from them as to if/when Tmob are going to provide the new ROM.

There are Tmob staff on the forum, who actively post on it, however there hasn't been any word from them for over 12 hours now.

One poster who spoke to a Tmob technician said this:

"Just had a chat with one of the T-mobile technical support guys and its looking good....

He said its being tested at the moment and in the next few days there will be a trial of about 1000 over-the-air updates.

If these go to plan, it will be rolled out for everyone. THis should apparently happen by the end of the month."

No idea if it's true though...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dperren:
Right, there is huge amounts of different and sometimes conflicting information floating around, all suggesting doing lots of different things.

Can someone outline briefly the process which should be followed for those of us with network-locked handsets in order to install the new official update as normal? I'm sure it would of of benefit to many others beyond myself.

As an aside, has anyone managed to do the update on Windows 7 RTM? I just tried on my T-Mobile handset and got a "Couldn't detect your phone" message. Is this due to it being locked, or due to the OS?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JTHM:
May be some time ...the Hero isn't even listed on orange.co.uk as a business phone! :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bunt83:
Good news! (kind of)

Update from a Tmobile Forum Admin:

Hi everybody,

Thank you for your patience on this, please be assured T-Mobile are listening to you.

T-Mobile will roll out the update for T-Mobile G2 customers once the testing process is complete. We will keep you posted on this and provide more details over the next week.

Thanks again for your patience

T-Mobile Administrator

No idea how long it's going to take to actually come out though, we shall have to wait...

Is it safe to update my rooted unlocked tmobile phone (running on o2) ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] soulja24:
Hi all

my question is: just what is rooting? Only joking. (Tho all this custom ROM and rooting and syncing is confusing...HTC sync app itself is just too confusing)

Anway I got an unlocked HTC Hero (UK) and am now deciding to update the ROM. Now I have used MyBackup app from the market to back up my data - I made two backups one with common data such as sms, bookmarks, dictionary, call log, alarms and one with the other ones including home settings, and system settings.

but would I really need to restore home settings/system settings or wld tht cause some kind of conflict considering I will restore these to a new ROM.

Also if I delete a single contact from my phone, it gets deleted from the server (gmail). So when I update the ROM, I am told the data will be erased, but this does not affect my gmail contacts right? that would be silly if all my gmail contacts got deleted so I am not backing up contacts - is that ok?

Finally once I get the new ROM on to my device, I would then link to play around with rooting and installing customs ROM. I am aware that I cant root (at the moment) with the new hero ROM. so how do I go about it - can I roll back to previous version ROMs.

Hope someone can help with my many questions! Thx in advance.

cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch General] locutus-of-borg:
Hi i have done it on windows 7 64bit its to do with driver and for life cannot remeber everything i did lol so will do it on partners machine and let you know how i did it if thats ok will try posting it for you by late tommorow.

Drivers should be attached to this post
[Hero, G2 Touch General] locutus-of-borg:
I think rooting after updating to offical rom is still abit tricky but think there was something in one of the threads about a work round so would check that out first
[Hero, G2 Touch General] JTHM:
Now that Tmob and Orange are joining forces, do you think the Tmob techies could be persuded to put one over their Orange counterparts by releasing a spin of their update for Orange customers?! :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] reform:
Sorry to bump the thread, but has anyone successfully upgraded a t-mobile phone? My phone is rooted and unlocked.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dperren:
Managed to sort it (posted a new thread explaining how). Needed to install the 64-bit driver from the Android SDK, and all was fine.

Thanks for the help!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] yrreP:
Have been playing with the Orange ROM this morning, performs really well - great improvement!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Sidewinder_UK:
Where did you get your Orange ROM From? Can you link us up please?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
does that mean the orange ROM is out? can't see it on their site anywhere... link?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
Cool, an O2 customer has the Orange ROM :rolleyes: That figures ;)

Be great to know when it will actually get to Orange customers.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Roy_Drage:
Well i just tried to download the official HTC rom from their website. Failed at the 1st hurdle, every time I put my serial number in it says it's invalid!!

Oh well, guess I'll just wait for T-Mobile to roll it out to it's customers properly.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Temjin:
Quick question - how does applying an update like this affect being able to root the phone (if at all?). If I have a rooted phone and apply the update - does it effectively become unrooted? Or if I apply the update to a non-rooted phone does it become more difficult to root?

I'm just trying to figure if it's worth rooting before applying this forthcoming update basically :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hairy bum:
so does the new rom fix the bluetooth issue ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Temjin:
Just a little bit of an update and a interesting read here:

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/27229/orange-t-mobile-hold-back-htc-hero-rom-update

Seems like us Orange customers have no idea of knowing when a branded update will become avilable.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] frymaster.127:
that depends, what do you mean by "the" bluetooth issue?

I certainly haven't come across a bluetooth issue so noticable it deserved the definite article :P
[Hero, G2 Touch General] darrenmc168:
updated

Just updated my Hero today (English) and i can confirm it is MUCH faster and smoother, this is how it should of been in the first place, as far as i know the bluetooth is still a load of steaming S**T and a disgrace in this day and age, my last 3 phones have been HTC with the touch HD last and had no problems at all, so this is a shame, and HTC have not even bothered to reply to my emails about these issues, not very good customer service at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] hairy bum:
so that answers that then .... still no bluetooth :mad:
