Does anyone ever have any problem for using the AT&T iPhone data plan on other phones?

I have been using the HTC Hero for a month and decided to get a data plan, even though I know I can only use EDGE in the US. I wanted to go for AT&T because I have many friends using AT&T (due to iPhone of course) and I got 15% academic discount with AT&T.

So I go for the iPhone plan, and got an iPhone 3GS, which I had planned to sell it right after I got it. I got my iPhone, activate my account and voicemail with it, and then popped the SIM card into my Hero. Googled AT&T's APN (wap.cingular) and everything works fine on the Hero. No 3G as expected, but EDGE speed is actually much better than I thought.

Then it came the problem. Today I received a SMS from AT&T saying that my data usage has exceeded my plan allowance. I logged into my account on the website and noticed that my usage had only been about 30MB. 30MB out of unlimited = excessive usage? So I phoned AT&T, they said they were sorry that there was a system error and I was put onto a "data per use" plan which charges $2.00 per MB. They put me back onto the iPhone data plan and promised to credit the charge back into my account.

I am now wondering, was that really a mistake of their system? Or was it because I had never got onto the internet with the iPhone, and the first time that I got onto the internet with this sim card was with the Hero, that they put me onto the "pay per use" data plan? Will I get booted to the "pay per use" data plan again if I continued to the data on a non-iPhone? Did anyone ever use the AT&T iPhone data plan on another phone, and got your bill screwed up?

On AT&T website, they said that their system can detect people using an iPhone without an iPhone data plan, this is not allowed and that they would put them back onto the iPhone data plan automatically. But they did NOT say that you cannot use the iPhone data plan with other phones. Their "Person PDA" unlimited data plan is the same price as the iPhone one anyway. As far as I know, the only difference between the two is that the iPhone one supports visual voicemail. Why would they prevent people from using the iPhone data plan on other phone then?

Hi, im thinking of buying a htc hero soon here in hk but i have a few questions mainly about rooting...

1)Does installing the recovery image mean that you have rooted the phone? or do i have to install a custom rom in order to have things such as tethering on my phone

2)Will the custom roms work with the carriers in hk?

3)Will running the original stock htc .exe updaters un-root my phone and replace the recovery image so it will look as if nothing has ever happened?

4)what are the radio roms on the modaco website?

thanks!

Hi,

We have a provider in the Netherlands without his own network. The Hero is always roaming.

On settings -> Sync -> Exchange ActiveSync (I have a dutch phone, so I hope the translate is OK). I'am getting on planning (Rooster in dutch). "Disabled when roaming" (Uitgeschakeld tijdens roaming in Dutch).

Please help me with this problem, because I want to use Active Sync trough air.

Many thanks!

I think you need a Windows mobile forum.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkoemans:
Why? It's on the Hero? And the same users on the same server with Windows Mobile don't have the problem...

:(

Edit:

"Allow synchronization when roaming" is enabled in the policy, but still not working.. any help??? Other Exchange clients for android?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jelski:
I have the exact problem, the telco you are referring to must be Telfort which is on the "NL KPN NL Telfort" network and therefore always 'roaming'.

Another (better) solution to this problem would be to have a tweak or application that configures Android to see the network as non-roaming. I believe the only thing that the software actually does is compare text strings. Something like:

If $provider = "NL Telfort" then

{non roaming}

else

{roaming}

If this is the case, a simple OR statement could solve all your misery... However, I cannot provide you with this insight as I am not really into hardcore coding. But surely some of the developers here might know a solution...

Hi,

I noticed after upgrading to the official HTC Hero ROM for Europe 2.73.405.5 that i'm not able to turn on the wifi adapter. The message i get in the wireless control panel is "unable to start Wi-Fi". I don't use any application for wifi control. There is also no MAC address assigned in the phone information to the adapter.

I was working before with the MCR 2.2.

Could it be from a back up application which i installed to restore the data from the previous ROM?

The ROM is also rooted with flashrec.

Appreciate if you could please share me some tips how to turn the wifi adapter.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] aniceone:
I have the exact same problem on my phone. After a recent wipe/restore. Running cronos droid, flykernel 11 and latest radio.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ptashek:
I thought this may be a good syndication thread for listing stuff that is buggy in the new Hero ROM (2.73.*) but worked in the old one.

Let me start:

- headphone jack issue - I didn't see this in the 1.76.* ROM, but now experience it full blown. Plug headphones in, sound redirects from speaker to headphones. Plug them out, sound stays redirected. Major PITA.

- calendar sync - not only is my Hero not syncing with Google Calendar anymore, it's also not displaying any events in the home screen widget, not even the local ones.

- sms widget bug - hit back button after opening a message and Hero cycles through your recently used apps instead of going back to list messages. I'm not even finding this one funny anymore.

- the jumping keyboard - switch from portrait to landscape with the keyboard on screen and it suddenly gets a life of its own.

- wifi disconnects and Hero goes onto HSDPA even with wifi "sleep policy" set to "never".

I've updated to the official ROM with a full wipe.

The speed improvement is not enough for me to live with those annoying new bugs. I guess I'll just go back to 1.76.* and wait for another update.

Anyone with similar thoughts and problems? Some additional, different ones? Let's make list and then just send it to HTC.

I guess it's only fair if you're running a 2.73 ROM, not something super-custom.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kyods:
Running vanilla 2.73 and I'm not experiencing any of the bugs you mentioned. On the contrary, I had issues getting my Google contacts and calendar to sync with 1.76, 2.73 works flawlessly for me.

As for the SMS widget, I'm just not using it. There are far too many people playing with my phone on a daily basis, and I don't fancy them peeking at my private texts. :)

All in all, I'm more than happy with 2.73.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mopodo:
Sometimes it doesn't recognize my headphone (Sennheiser PX200) the icon doesn't appear at the top.

works without problems for me...

I'm using the modaco custom rom ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kackburt:
I haven't noticed these bugs at the official 2.73.405.5 either...

Keyboard, headphones and SMS works just fine here!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GueSs_me:
Hi everyone,

I have some problems with the new one. When I log into the market, all it shows is the free app only. Also, the camera, on the previous version I was able to zoom in/out with trackball which I see much easier, in the new one I can’t do that anymore!

Also, I was able to custom a ringtone on my contacts list or groups, but the new version doesn’t allow me to do this too :(.

So, I am wondering if there is any way to switch between the new versions 2.73.405.5 to the old one 1.76.405.6.

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Stafflover:
Zooming with the trackball indeed isn't possible anymore. But to be fair, zooming messes up your picture even more ;)

On the first page of a contact (named information) I'm still able to change ringtones for that person only, I thought this was easier in the previous version but it still is possible.

As for the wifi, don't have any problems with it, keyboard acts normal to and my trackball isn't flashing 10 min after recieving and reading a text. Also as far as I know I haven't missed a text, huge problem on the previous rom.

Also I don't have the sms widget problem, it just returns to the widget as it's

supposed to.

I don't have any problems at all with the new rom, and the speed improvement is just awesome... Glad I choose My Hero over a Iphone.

Little note: using the official htc rom (not rooted) with a vodafone simcard (unbranded phone)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] robboy:
If you do a flick where the zoom used to be it comes up.but better than that if you press the screen it will focus where you press keep your finger there and it will take the picture.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Svarto:
My Hero syncs fine with google calender, and sms widget bug only happens sometimes or with some special order of commands which I dont use. Havent found the landscape keyboard to jump, but I dont really use it that often.

With the headphone jack unplug redirect thing, I dont believe this is a bug i think it is working as intended, or i hope so at least. THis is how it works on my ipod touch, it is good that the music stops when u unplug the headphones and it is really annoying otherwise to have to unlock the phone and stop the music everytime I need to unplug my headphones. I dont see how this is a PITA? It redirects fine when u want to answer a call.

Bluetooth fix

I was having a lot of problems getting my Hero to pair up with the bluetooth in my car(Honda Civic) it would pair once then even turning discover on , on the phone it would not pair up again, i have flashed the HTC rom update onto my Hero and it pairs everytime straight away, so we are getting somewhere with the Hero bluetooth, now just file transfer and we are away.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
I am another that is not seeing any of the reported issues above. In fact I am very impressed with the new version (Orange v2 ROM).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ptashek:
Mine was weird. When I cleaned the whole storage for Calendar, Calendar Widget etc. it did work indeed, and then stopped again all of a sudden.

I've done another factory reset and so far, so good - it works fine again. I've noticed in the debugger (DDMS) that it now is accessing a different URL for my calendar, even though it's the same account as previously. No idea what's caused that, but whatever it was induced the WiFi bug as well.

The update did wipe everything, but maybe the key was do to a factory reset after updating as well? Dunno :)

Yes, that's expected behaviour, but that's not what I meant :)

Here's what I see:

- Plug-in headset, sound gets redirected

- Start playback

- Unplug headset, playback pauses

- Start playback

Now it should play via speaker, right? Mine doesn't. It still thinks the headset is plugged in.

Major PITA.

That's how it should look like (in the debugger):

DEBUG/AudioFlinger(38): setRouting 0 2 -17, tid 38, calling tid 64
INFO/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(38): Routing audio to Speakerphone (0,2)
DEBUG/AudioHardwareMSM72XX(38): rpc_snd_set_device(1, 1, 1)
DEBUG/HTC Acoustic(38): msm72xx_enable_audpp: 0x0007

That's what I see when the bug appears (which is 9/10 times):

ERROR/MusicUtils(3585): Headset 1:1, 1

I don't think it's hardware related since the OS notices that the headset was unplugged.

stock rom update here

i still have a stock rom on my phone ( the newest) and all above mentioned "bugs" work just fine for me.

the only one i have an issue with after the update is the switching between 3g and edge connections...

in my bedroom at home is the only place i experience this, but it doesnt seem to switch between 3g and edge very nicely at all, looooooong interuuptions and sometimes it just wont go, similar with wifi to mobile data connection.

and the camera is still sh!t. anyone out there planning on fixing this for us less fortunate, mildly retarded, people who cant fend for themselves?

i have never seen a camera in a phone behave so poorly in low light conditions.... any fixes out there for this?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] nicelad_uk:
Mine happens like this...

- Start Music with no headphones, comes out of speaker phone

- Plug in headphones, music transfers

- Unplug headphones, music pauses

- Press play again, comes out of speaker phone.

Not sure if you get the same as this, but for me this is perfect and not a bug, if I unplug my headphones I don't want music blaring out of my speakerphone for everyone to hear.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Branwen:
The only issue I've got is that my messaging widget only scrolls the first two texts, and I never use it anyway.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] foxmeister:
Running the Modaco 2.2 version of 2.73, I do not get this problem. With both music player and Spotify, plugging in the headphones diverts the music to the headphones and pulling the plug sends it back to the speakphone.

Clock flip

Hei,

After ROM update my phone is much more faster, but the problem is, that the clock do not flip anymore:confused:, controlled, that Display settings animation is ON. How can I resolve my problem, any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
The new version of that clock does not flip anymore... no idea why as the others still animate with no apparent slow down... you can even swipe before the hands have finished moving.

Only cure is to downgrade back into Slowsville.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] d8611:
Very strange...:cool:

Is this so named new rom bug, that clock do not flip?

It's just interesting for me, because nobody complain about this problem
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
No idea if its a bug or intentional.

Certainly never slowed my Hero down with v1 of the firmware.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] :
agreed. my device is massively quicker, and since i removed peep and a few others, i am over the moon.

If the worst thing you can find to moan about is the fact that the clock is no longer animated, then i think the jobs a good 'un. I for one (and i guess most people here) would rather have a phone that works properly and runs fast, than an animated clock...! or maybe I just have my priorities all wrong? Maybe my life just isn't complete without the flipping clock. I guess I'll never know :D:D:D

I've spent the last couple of hours trying to figure out why HTC Sync would not allow me to use the Mobile Network Sharing (MNS).

All morning, I had assumed that my notebook was using the MNS as I was able to access Facebook from the office. Turns out that I was latched onto a secondary WiFi access point without realizing it.

So, after installing HTC Sync, all other drivers installed fine, except for the NDIS driver which is needed in order to use MNS. I searched high and low to find a download for the driver, and finally found it.

For those of you who are missing the driver (not sure? Open Device Manager, and see if you have an Android Phone device that is showing up as an error), go to your Program Files folder, look for the HTC folder, and in it, you will find HTC Drivers... that elusive NDIS driver is stored there.

Just go to Device Manager, find the Android Phone device, right click, select Update Driver, and get it to find the driver from the folder above. Once the driver is installed, getting online is easy

From the Hero, select Menu -> Settings -> Wireless Settings -> Mobile Network Sharing

You are posting in the wrong forum section. Thread has been reported.

The files you download usually don't need to be unpacked. Just rename them to update.zip and apply the updates through the recovery mode. Some recovery roms, such as Cyanogens or Amon_RAs, has an option of picking a specific .zip file, not called update.zip. Also most ROM builders provide MD5 sums of their ROMs so you can check yourself whether your download is corrupt or not. I suggest you trying to verifying that.
