[Mogul, XV6800 General] kflipproductions:
this is new to me. i honestly can't tell you what happened, but i'm guessing it was a soft reset that made a considerable amount of data disappear. some SMS chains lost the most recent texts, others didnt. i'm randomly noticing things that were lost from a normal reset. at any rate, the email account i had set up is no longer listed in my account picker. when trying to recreate the account, i receive an error that the account name is already assigned to another account. So the account exists, but i can't see it? any ideas? thanks guys!

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] igolfchip:
Has anyone found that their headphone adapter has stopped working for some reason?

Was working fine, and now seems that the phone no longer recognizes the adapter. Power passes through just fine - however, can't get audio out.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions? I don't have a spare adapter to test.

Thanks,

Chip
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
I'm afraid that is the test. Either use your headset on a different phone, or a different headset on your phone.

You should be able to test a headset at your local phone retailler (just tell them you want to check it works before you buy it)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] skyau:
I'm having the same problem, just not at your stage yet.

I have audio but it's obvious there are some connections that aren't quite lining up since I get mono out of both speakers now instead of stereo and moving the connector at all gives me the typical "short out" garble you hear when you've disrupted a short in an audio cable.

The only time anything is plugged into my phone is when it's laying flat on a desk (I even make sure the wire comes out straight with NO pressure on it at all). I've never forced the cable, had it in my pocket where it could have put pressure on the connection, or anything else that might have caused the problem...

I think it's just wear. I can still charge the phone just fine, it's just audio that is screwed up now. I'm just waiting for the day when I don't hear anything...

...and I'll probably never buy HTC again... since this happened with my Star Trek too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] igolfchip:
So I went to the AT&T store - a headset worked fine.

I went out and bought a new headphone adapter - same thing, doesn't get recognized by the Phone, so still SOL.

Question - any idea of this could be software related? I had installed skype (uninstalled to see if this was the cause) and wondering if that did something to the headset settings.

Any value in reimaging with a new ROM to see if this fixes it before calling AT&T warranty?

Thanks,

chip
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
If you have flashed cooked ROMs then you will have to flash back to stock for warranty reutrn anyway, so this could likely be your issue.

If you're on the stock ROM, then I would suspect hardware.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] igolfchip:
Thanks Bruce - about to call AT&T warranty to get relief (within 1 year).
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
Hello everyone, I am having an issue with Custom Locale application on modaco's 2.2 rom.

What I want to do is, keep the English menus but also have the option for Greek keyboard. Now, there is a locale that changes both menus and keyboard to Greek so the Greek keyboard is there.

Although, when I select the locale for English menus and Greek keyboard(en_GR) it doesn't work, they are both English. Is there a way to modify the locales so I can achieve what I am looking for?

P.S: I also tried adding the locales from inside the application but that didn't work.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenorGR:
Anyone got a solution to this? If no, how can I contact the author of Custom Locale application?

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akiss:
Hello Zenor ,

I am having the same problem with hero , plus when i change to Gr locale dictionary prediction doesn't work for Greek input. enGr doesn't work either(i want to have english menu with a greek alternative keyboard language aswell). What i haven't tested yet though is insert a sim from a Greek mobile provider ,reset my phone and don't highlight the English option in the beginning.Just wait for a a couple of minutes and check if you have the greek input.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b737800:
Have you guys figured out how to do it or no joy yet?

I'm also interested in having an English menu with a Greek keyboard for messaging (with predictive text preferably).

If you cannot run program to hard reset form "Expert" folder. Turn off your phone, then press both *SOFT KEYS* and *POWER ON* device. After moment release both soft keys. On the black screen asking for confirmation press *GREEN PHONE BUTTON* and wait couple minutes for phone to initialize.

hope it helps:)

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stynes:
I have a TMO TP2. This does not involve the fb app but rather the built in feature to link a contact to a fb account. I've searched the forums but haven't found a similar issue described.

When I go to a contact, click Edit Contact, then click Link at the bottom under the Facebook heading, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I can't consistently reproduce the issue but I can describe some of the common themes I see. It's unfortunate because it seems to happen more often than not and it's quite annoying.

Sometimes it pulls up my fb contacts list and lets me select a fb account and it works no problem. I'm not having any problems with delinking or anything like that. It appears to be an issue pulling up the list of facebook users. In those instances, the screen flickers as it tries to pull up the fb contacts and it appears to crash or something. The screen then flickers back to edit contact. If I try long enough or wait and try a while later, it may work for the same contact.

An error is never displayed when I do this although sometimes after trying to link a contact and seeing it not work I'll go back to the home screen I'll see that touchflo 3d is launching (indicating that perhaps it crashed) or sometimes it'll even require that I tap the screen to relaunch touchflo 3d.

Another possible clue is that sometimes in my list of facebook contacts I'll see the very first contact listed as (null), (null). I have no idea if this has anything to do with why it's crashing or not but that's clearly not one of my facebook contacts.

Last possible tip is when I go to all contacts and then click on the updates and events toggle at the bottom. Again, the behavior is inconsistent but sometimes it'll pull up that screen for a couple of seconds and without touching or scrolling or anything it'll show an error with manila.exe.

Is anyone else experiencing anything like this? Anyone have a suggestion for a possible fix or what I can do to further troubleshoot? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] william-johnson:
i know this doesnt solve your problem but it might do you good to know you are not alone cos I have a similar problem as well.:D I use the Vodafone stock ROM and recently when i try get click the UPDATES tab from my contacts, it crashes and relaunches TFD....I think something must have gone wrong with the connection. I then asked another person to log into into face book to see if this was still going to crash the application and sadly it did. I did a hard reset and i then did a restore from my last sprite backup file (which luckily for me, was just a few hours old as i ran a back up during the day). Now i cant get my own contacts back on the update tab and even though it does not crash anymore, I cant seem to link anyone in my phone book to my facebook app. I guess there is a file that needs deleting that can fix this. Anyone got any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] coykiam:
hi guys, I downloaded google maps thinking I didnt have it pre-installed. After installing it I realized there was another preinstalled one, so I removed it. Now when I click google maps it wouldn't open from the Touch Flo Menu. So I reinstalled google maps, right now when I click ALL PROGRAMS it now shows there are 2 GOOGLE MAPS. How can I remove one of them??? Help....
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrenhaus:
Hi all,

I'm currently in the planning period for an application which will need access to different things containing internet access, read/write contacts, read/write SMS and so on.

The application should be extensible through plugins, so I decided to implement a scripting language.

Since I dont want to write my own engine, I decided to use BeanShell which gives one a scripting platform with Java style code.

The problem is, in these scripts you can import _any_ java class. Since I run the script from my application, they have the same permissions as defined in AndroidManifest.xml.

Now I need a way to guarantee the user that the plugin/script he loads doesn't execute bad code.

Ideas were some sort of certification (I sign every version of every script and only the signed scripts are executable, I sign a single person who can sign his/her scripts, everyone can sign everything and the user has to be shure to trust the person who signed something, person a trusts person b - the user trusts person a so the user trusts person b also [what is it called - assurance web?]). But this creates also problems, if I would sign everything in the worst case (actually the best case for my app ^^) I would have to sign a big amount of scripts and updates which would be crap.

On the other side I know the most "normal users" just click on OK if they see a message a la "It's signed by [person]. Do you trust him?" so this is also somehow crap.

Another idea I had is to implement a permission system a la android itself. So the scripts would have to say what permissions they need and I would have to make shure that they cannot execute something else.

Well, I don't now, I'm not really happy with anything of this. So I wanted to ask you people out there for your opinions about that and for new ideas :)

Thanks to you all
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrenhaus:
Sorry for bumping...

No one any idea, suggestion or opinion?

Experimental ways are also welcome ;)

Accidentally, I modified the unlock screen in a wrong way. Now I can't unlock anymore. Is there any way to get round it?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] samo.chan:
Hi all,

Had a quick search round these parts to see if anyone has ask about it, and apparently now :p

I've noticed that the touch flo interface has become really slow again, most notably when bringing down the notification area; it's a good 5 - 8 seconds before it comes down to where my finger is! Another way I can judge it is by playing ThrottleCopter, any lag makes the game unplayable...

The first time, the culprit was Last.fm's offcial app, and gettign rid of it made it all spring-chicken again, but I haven't downloaded any new apps of late...

*Please* don't tell me I need to reboot my phone every week or so to stop it being laggy; That's why I ditch my Tytn II !!!

Many thanks for any help provided, and if you require more info (I'm guessing an app list, or ROM version [Stock from T-mobile]), ask please!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] samo.chan:
...Does no one else have this problem? It's really bugging me, insofar as that it's becoming unusable without rebooting it again, and not placing calls when tapping a contact in the call history list.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
Do you use Peep ?

If you are, log out of Twitter via the social networks section in Settings and try another client like Twidroid (which uses its own independent login)

Made a huge performance difference to me on the initial stock Orange firmware.

Else wait for the T-Mobile v2 firmware or go MoDaCo.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] samo.chan:
@Joemax:

I don't use Peep or Twitter, and have made sure it's "logged out" in the settings menu, but can't access the Peep settings menu as I haven't (ever) logged on.

Thanks for the reply, as I quite keen to find the source of the problem. The only other thing I've heard thus far is that rooting the phone _can_ give a speed boost, but it's not been confirmed?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] joemax:
Rooting on its own won't speed up your Hero or any handset as far as I know.

But if you root and then replace the firmware with MoDoCo's you will see a speed boost. His ROM is based on the latest HTC firmware release.

The other thing would be to turn off all the background notifications that apps you have put on the Hero are setup to do... not the stock ones, but apps from the Market you have loaded.

Some of these put persistent information in the Notifications panel and these may be slowing down the handset before showing you the panel.

Then enable them one by one gradually until to find the likely culprit.

Some battery monitoring apps and task manager / switching apps, do use too much of the CPU from what I've read.

Worth a try.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] samo.chan:
Thanks for the help Joemax.

AFAIK, I don't have any non-stock apps that have any b/g notifications, as there aren't a whole lot of apps on my phone (a couple of games, boring utilities like the compass), but I have got the battery status widget, which may be the culrpit... Fingers crossed :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Apfelbutzen:
Whenever I have used skype my hero lags. I always have to kill skype even when I exited the app correctly. Maybe this applies for you as well? Did you try to kill some apps (check after each kill if performance is better)? this is how I found out the skype issue.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] samo.chan:
I have TasKiller Full, and I do kill off apps periodically, and haven't noticed skype in the background, although the Last.fm one kept on coming back even after a force kill :@.

It's a useful app for me (as I use Skype as my main IM), so I'll onyl get rid of it should it be the fault.

Just checked now, as it goes, and there are no non-stock apps running, as it's still slow - taking about 3 seconds for the notification bar to catch up. As for notifications, the only ones I've noticed since the joemax asked the question is Gtalk, Gmail, and the phone ones (sms, missed calls), and the USB one once plugged in.

Oh dear... it's not looking good to find the source, is it? :( I mean, short of deleting all non-stock apps and putting them back on one by one...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Temjin:
Heya,

I'm sure this topic has been discussed but I can't seem to find a clear answer. It's obvious that the HTC Hero is somewhat temperamental with certain makes and classes of Micro SD, or the assumed Class 6 isn't always as fast as people hope.

In my case the 2gb stock card is just going to be too small so I'm keen to purchase the biggest card the phone will support (which is 16gb?) or 8gb. Is there a card in particular which stands out as being the best (in terms of speed) for the HTC Hero at these sizes?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ginchiller:
i think the biggest possible micro sdhc card is 32gb, but i´m not sure and it was not worth to me so i bought a 16gb and it works perfect
[Hero, G2 Touch General] theodore80:
Are there 32GB micro sd cards available?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kqueenc:
find Sandisk 32GB micro SDHC is already available for pre-order, but no specific date of release.

I just bought a Sandisk 16GB micro sd (class 2), appears faster then the 2gb stock card.

Try to search some technical reviews of different SD card with statistics. Much better than relying on "CLASS".
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ludolf71:
Class is important

Hi, I would say that in a price/performance view you should go for a 8GB class 6 card right now. The class says how fast the card can transfer data. Class 2 does 2MB/s. Class 6 does 6MB/s.

32GB is the limit of the SDHC format. I have 8GB now and I guess I upgrade to 32GB later when prices get better.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kqueenc:
for sandisk, class 2 = class 4, class 4 = class 6.

as i know, some class 2 is actually much faster than the standard minimum speed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] linear_craig:
I have an 8 gig in my phone but its having trouble rescanning the card i have like 4 gigs of music on it and I think thats too much for the phone to scan, that would be my only thing to maybe consider.

Ps if anyone has a solution for my problem that would be great haha
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ozym:
Unless you despareately need to store A LOT of data on your phone get the fastest card rather than the largest.

8GB SanDisk Class 6 card is about £17.

16GB SanDisk Class 6 is nearly £50.

Prices will drop rapidly so for now I'd go for 8GB at 6MBPS over 16GB or 32GB at a lower speed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cdg1:
Hi - Following on from this, has anyone used a 32GB card and proven it works. I'd hate to get one and find out that it's incompatible with the G2 Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] thecodemonk:
32GB microSD cards are out?! o_O
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
The 16GB Class 6 you list doesn't seem like that much of a stretch to me, it is a wee bit over twice the price, but not ridciulously so (i.e 3x the price). It is the best MicroSDHC card that money can buy, and the transcend one I've got is nice and fast (pretty sure it was less than £50 too, now that I think about it).

Nup, no 32GB MicroSDHC cards as yet fellas, all the sites I've seen, list the Sandisk one for Pre-Order, but its been like that for 6 months, so maybe they're planning for a 2010 release?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
Err is that spam?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dailypush:
any offical word or tests showing that a class 6 will work to its full speed... rumor I have heard is the hardware in the hero (us version) will utilize up to class 2 speeds.

(Not to say a class 6 wont work. just that it will only be reading and writing at class 2 speeds) Can anybody confirm?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
I can maintain 6-7MB/s write speak to my 16GB Class 6 which is Class 6 speeds. Not as fast as I'd like (SD speeds), but worlds better than the Nokia N95 8GB I had before which was limited to 800-1000KB/s (only USB 2.0 full speed as opposed to hi speed).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] izanagi:
qwiksand, is that from your hero or from a card reader?

I am trying to find the source now but cant rummage up my history; i swear i read an email from HTC saying the card reader in the Hero was a class 2 reader, thus nullifying any performance increase from a class 4 or 6 card.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kwiksand:
hmm, you're making me doubt myself now! :P

I'll do a speed test today both in the phone, and out.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cdg1:
Likewise,I'm sure I read an official source saying that it would only make use of 16GB irrespective of the size of the card. Sounds more dubious but I'm not going to risk it with my own money!!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dailypush:
Any updates? Want to get one on black friday
[Hero, G2 Touch General] e.japonica:
As what i know G3 Hero only support up to 16gb sd/sdhc card.

As the class on those card are for writing speed & reading speed is all the same.

edit: i have found some news frm somewhere...

Good Morning Frank,

Thank you for taking the time to contact HTC America Technical Support via E-Mail with your inquiry about what class of SD card to use in your Sprint HTC Hero. My name is A.J. and I will be happy to assist you today.

If you are looking to purchase an SD card that the device will read at its full native speed you will need to purchase a class 2. The device will read a class 4 but not at its native speeds.

Frank, if you have any future questions about your device please feel free to visit HTC - Touch Phone, PDA Phone, Smartphone, Mobile Computer and send us another e-mail. You may also enjoy HTC Smartphone Wiki - HTC, which has a plethora of information on HTC devices, including the Sprint HTC Hero! I would also like to invite you to participate in a customer satisfaction survey located at HTC Online Survey I hope you have a great day!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dacian:
According to HTC's website the Hero can use SD 2.0, SD 2.0 is another way of saying SDHC, just like devices that are compatible with standard SD, the device is expandable to the limit of the format. Therefore, the Hero CAN do 32GB because it is SDHC compatible. Only problem is the 32GB Cards have yet to be mass produced.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] e.japonica:
