While it does not make it ok... it seems to be the norm these days to get the product out and iron out bugs in a later release. As long as the quality is respectable, which I feel it was in this case, I can live with it. Particularly since the alternative would be to make do with buying an older model or waiting longer for the handset.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Volker1:
Just give us an example of one single gadget that was not rushed out of the door!

The iPhone? Hellooo, the original iPhone didn't even have 3G. Have you ever tried GPRS speed (Go to wireless settings and pick "2G only"), not even funny. Talk about being rushed out of the door!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
and apple offered a free upgrade to the 3g version when it was released! So yes may have been rushed out the door but no financial gain in the long run.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zuber:
Was this a free upgrade that did not involve commuting to a contract ?

If not, then its not free...

Zuber
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
the handsets weren't free in the first place... you want to split hairs then fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Zuber:
The uninformed might think Apple were so caring and generous that they were willing to swap out the phones for "no financial gain"...

You can say many things about Apple, but generous isn't one of them :)

Zuber
[Hero, G2 Touch General] crash_194:
Agreed :) However i thought it wasn't a bad deal as i have always thought the handsets were a rip off...coming to think of it the tariffs are aswell. I work for network rail and get 30% off all o2 shop tariffs and i still opted for the hero on orange which was a miles better deal!

(sorry for the partial hi-jack! :p )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Volker1:
Free upgrade! Just sign on for another 12 months of the 60+EUR/month (AT&T US) plan :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkym0nkey:
Ok, I was one of the early adoptors of Hero. I got it right after its launch and I didnt really had too many complains about the device.

I never ever bought any HTC phone hoping it to be perfect. I always bought HTC knowing it will not be a perfect device out of box but community efforts will make it much much better device over time.

This applies to WinMo devices, and android. Why do we have xda here???
[Hero, G2 Touch General] RaptorRVL:
If you ask me, it's actually a great device. I've had far worse :/

I think people kinda underestimate how difficult it is to make good software. And how difficult it is to properly test stuff like this as well.

Next to that, it's always a comprimise. They want the software to be good, but also get the device out as fast as possible. The faster a (good) device is out there, the better that is for HTC in this case. It's a very competitive market, there just isn't enough time to keep working on the software until it's perfect.

The software should be 'good enough' and not perfect. I'm 100% sure they have a bugtracker or something else to keep track of major and minor bugs. At some point someone has to make a decision what will and won't be fixed before launch. And what shall be fixed right after launch.

For a new OS with a new UI like on the Hero I think they did very very well on the first release.

Now I fully agree with the OP, the lag/speed issue with the first ROM was not in HTC's favour. It was something that came up in every review, and people still believe that's a big Hero issue even while it's fixed. On the other hand, there might have been more important things that were fixed during development.

Usually speed improvements and tweaking stuff like that is something you do last. Other bugs and stuff has to be fixed first.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
I don't think HTC rushed the phone out the door. The software was good enough so the phone functioned as a phone. It's a smartphone designed with the capability to upgrade the software. As long as the hardware is good quality, then you can work with the software and polish it as you go along.

I never really noticed the lag - it's only put to shame when you compare it with the new software. Look at the problems people are having with the iPhone 3.1 software release and you should be thankful that HTC have actually first delivered useable phone software and then improved it only a month after release. And HTC got some nice innovations to boot with the first release. They were perhaps a bit ambitious with the first release - where the phone did a lot of things when it first came out of sleep or switched screens, including the clock "flipping" animation.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ultradv:
Some of these bugs are quite known more or less right out of the box, for instance logging into the market, you couldn't do this unless you actually entered your google credentials when you first setup the phone.

People are going to compare the Hero with the likes of the iPhone, it's the only comparable handset out on the market at the moment. But what i'm afraid of is the lack of future support for the Hero, as yet another handset is on the horizon from HTC. OK, maybe Apple have got it right in respect of only having to supporting one handset (and very simalar firmwares, agreed) which means more time focusing on bug fixes and upgrades.

I hope HTC do not put the Hero to the back of the pile and focus on new handsets
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BlueHawk:
Well, the nice thing about a reasonably open handset is that you don't have to rely on HTC. The system is based on Android, and I expect HTC will release the source code for the actual kernel as they did for the Magic and the Dream (I think). So there is plenty of support for Android in general and that should get you a few years out of the hardware at least - until they introduce innovations that need more processing power ... ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] DanPratt:
I am actually glad that the reviews said that this phone is laggy/unresponsive.. blah blah blah...

This now means that not every man and his dog has this phone. I don't know about anyone else, but I actually 'like' to have something different from the rest of the world. The 'sheep and their iphones' are a great example of this.... they all have the exact same phone (common as muck!!)

"Rushing the phone out of the door" is not great business practice from HTC's perspective, but I am happy to take the updates as and when they are available.:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ShiroEd:
@DanPratt

I know what you mean about having something 'special' but the less people that buy a product the less likely the manufacturer will be to continue to support it.

The iPhone has so many cool apps (particularly games) because so many people have iPhones. Large potential user/customer base for any device encourages that device's development.

E
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Funkym0nkey:
You dont exactly have to worry about app support on any android phone.

As an open OS, it will keep getting apps, and specially seeing almost everyone jumping onto android recently, its only going to get better from here.

And HTC Hero sales are not as bad as we might think. Its still an exclusive phone ( like all high end HTCs ) but its not doing too badly in my part of the world. And as always, its nice to have something different.

And when this phone silences the doubters on first sight, it always puts a smile on my face ;)

I have and love my OCN (IGO8 in Europe) and have been using it since my HTC 6700, however I am having problems to run it on my Sprint TP2, it apparently installs but doesn't run, flashes the loading screen and disapear!

Does anyone know this GPS software (which BTW I think is light years ahead of any other!) and can help me?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pnxsinned:
Have you enabled A-GPS? If so try to disable it. Also does it have a igo config file? would like to see the output of it :) Think its called sys.txt
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] ksmm:
Have you been using iGO8 with a different device already?

What you describe here is typical for a wrong video subsystem configuration and can happen when moving from one hardware platform to another with different screen resolutions.

To fix this you should add to your sys.txt the following line(s):

[interface]

skin="ui_igo8"

Please note that during installation iGO8 makes a working copy of "sys.txt" in a "Program Files\iGO8" directory in a main device's memory so you have to copy it there, otherwise you will have no effect !

If this will not help (or you already have it there) then please remove content of "save" folder from your SD card. Please remember to backup you own POI's first ("user.upoi" file within save folder).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] eladiogomes:
Hi Guys,

I decided to post a Support ticket and I was told to use this into the SYS.txt file:

1) please uninstall OCN 8 (if you have already installed it)

2) open sys.txt using Notepad. This file is located under "SD Card\OCN8\" folder. You may use Notepad from your PC (thru a card reader) or editing the file directly from your phone's notepad application.

[project]

name="igo8_pda"

[folders]

app="\Storage Card\OCN8"

sdcardpath="\Storage Card"

[interface]

maxzoom2d=6000000

show_exit=1

[device]

sdcard_dsk_num=7

3) Then save the sys.txt and re-install OCN8.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
Hi all,

I have searched the forums, and tried a few apps and I haven't been able to find a solution to this - I was wondering if anyone else has or would want a way.

I like to listen to the radio to hear up to the minute local news, interesting local programming, some good new music and regular local humorous/comedy programs. And sometimes while listening to these I may get interrupted or may hear something I'd really like to share or refer to later - so in the past I'd just click the 'Record' switch on my MP3 player and then replay whatever I missed/saved later. Sometimes I also hear a good song and I'll record a few seconds to get enough of the lyrics to Google it later.

Knowing the X1 had an FM radio and WM6 I figured there must be an app out there to do this, the Samsung Omnia 2 apparently has this feature out of the box. I know some phones have the FM radio direct connected to the headphones/speakers, but I also know on the X1 has RDS and people have even found ways to use it as a TMC receiver on this forum. So I'm hoping there might be a way to record from FM - nothing fancy, not the full schedulers of the Chinese clone phones, but just some app that might at least let us hit a button and record a few minutes would be awesome.

Does anyone know how or if this can be done on the Xperia?

Thanks a lot,

Peter
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rudegar:
http://www.google.dk/search?source=...cord+fm&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=f&oq=

checked if any of them work?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
Yes, I've checked many different programs and most that say they do record are actually Internet Radio stations and not FM. Actually when I clicked your link the first many results were already purple from when I searched it last week before posting.

One interesting thing I just came across is that Apple announced last week that their new iPod Nano will have 'Live Pause' functionality on it's FM tuner. That would be dream functionality for me, especially if it also included an actual recorder function to share the content later (which I doubt). But I really, really don't like Apple - and my X1 has let me leave my pocket digi cam, PDA, mp3 player and old phones at home and do it all with one device. It would be awesome if it could also record, even if rudimentarily.

99% of results you get with this search is either people who posted asking and were ignored, Internet Radio apps, info on clone phones or mp3 players or Call/Video recording software.

Thanks for your reply,

Peter
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THE GRIZZ:
i used to have an ATOM exec that FM record function

go to their sub forum and see if you can get someone to make you a cab of their application. it might work

after this is done the next step would be is just to create a calander reminder to remind you to record
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
Thanks man, I'll do that :). I'm ok with not having a scheduler attached, though it'd be nice. I'd really like to have the ability to hit a button and record though because sometimes there's some useful stuff on.

For example today they had a financial analyst on talking about GICs vs. Stocks vs. Bonds, etc..., and giving advice to someone on a situation almost identical to mine and he made some interesting points I wanted to remember to research further - luckily I was at home and had an old mp3 player that could record, but if I was out I'd just have to try to memorize it and probably end up just with confused recollections if I even remembered it at all. Missed a lot in the time it took to find the player though - just starting it from the Xperia - that would be awesome :).

Thanks,

Peter
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
By the way, The Grizz, would it be the same application you were asking about in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=493868&highlight=fm+recording or would it be something specific to the Atom Exec?

Thanks,

Peter

P.S. I see you were on the quest too man - good to know I'm not alone :) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=493761 - I did find the HTC/Diamond FM Radio App, which seems to work faster than the one with the X1 natively, but no recording, still looking around... Atom app seems to have scheduler, everything - would be awesome if we can just get this thing ported :)
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
I spent a couple of fruitless hours trying to find and fm_radio.cab or similar file for the Atom Exec - no luck, though a Chinese board seemed like it might have it, the page gives an error in Chinese when I tried to read it - either that the post doesn't exist anymore or you have to register or some such thing.

I found a couple of other FM apps that work, mostly for the HTC Touch HD and similar devices. I found about 3 others that don't work, giving various error messages about missing files or the Radio failing to power on.

I eventually searched for fmradio.exe and found this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=284477

A lucky hit - "From O2 Xda Atom Exec..." - fmradio.exe + some dlls. I tried this on my X1 though and unfortunately I just get the message: "FM Radio requires Stereo Headset to be connected to function." I do have my headphones plugged in though. No idea if there is some way to get the app to bypass this check to see if the rest of it will run. It may also have something to do with where the dlls are - I just put all the files in my main Windows directory - no idea if they should be somewhere else, or if I should leave my original files as well. My X1 Radio is broken possibly from my previous 7 other apps tried - so this app might work if tried with a fresh flash.

So close :(
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdamouse:
No luck, I flashed on WinMo 6.5 and then back to WinMo 6.1 with Jack's ROM - but I can't seem to get the O2 Xda Atom Exec FM Radio app to run. It just says that there is no headphone in the port. Is there a way around that or could I be missing some files? Or maybe I put them in the wrong path?

This is only one way to attack the problem - any other suggestions or ideas would be good as well.

Thanks,

Peter
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjpeter:
A friend of mine lent me his Omnia, which can record with a click. I got all the files, but unfortunately it just gives an error that it is missing files or a trust certificate. I found the fmradio.dl file was hidden in the \Windows directory.

I found some other fmradio.dll files online for various Omnia models, but still no luck with those. It may be that they are not the right file for this program, or they are incompatible with the hardware. It's too bad I can't at least run the program, and then find the FM doesn't work. That would feel more satisfying then it not working at all.

So, so far no luck. Unless the creators of Power Radio here on the XDA forum do infact add FM Recording to their application...or we find another way?
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjpeter:
Has anyone been able to find a way to do this on the X1? Or maybe perhaps the circuitry or software is different and it is possible on the newer X2 hardware?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WhyBe:
I'm thinking, if it were possible, there would be an app for it. It's probably a hardware limitation of the X1 just like call recording. The output of the radio may not even pass through the CPU/chipset and goes straight to an output.

Also if you look @ the last picture you can see that when i power off then power back on the resolution is correct but the screen seems

very unresponsive.

I have tried to Restore_Stock_SPL_113 but not actually sure if it was the same one.

I have also tried USPL GUI v 2.5 (no difference)

I have tried HD_WM65__V63__B23053COM3__D091809

And i have finally tried Miri_WM65_23017_Premium_Manila_2.5_REV7.1

I dont no what else to do i have searched and read various posts regarding what i actually wanted to do and how to retify this problem but i cant find a solution.

If anyone has any answers i would really appriciate it.

If the answer has been looking me in the face and i have miss it im sorry.

just install the newest stock rom from the htc website and then the rom of your choice.

then the colors will look normal again ;)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ClydeB1:
It looks like your spl is wrong for the rom, the colour problem is typical of this situation.

You mention that you tried hspl - 1.56.Olinex. Are you sure it installed successfully? If you go into bootloader mode, does it show 1.56.Olinex on screen? Any one of the roms you mention should work perfectly with 1.56. Please take any other queries to the Dummies Guide thread as the mods will close this one down.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Fallen Spartan:
As above, it looks like your SPL is incorrect and HSPL 1.56 has not been successful. Check your SPL in bootloader and post further queries in the dummies guide thread.
