I've gone from a Touch HD to a Hero. After having several Winmo phones, the jump to Android was a tough one initially, but I'm so glad I did it.

I do miss the great 3.7 inch 800x480 screen of the HD, and find the Heros screen a bit small. I consider the MSM 72xx to be too underpowered for the 800x480 screen, and more suited to the 480x320 of the Hero.

I watch a lot of films/ tv episodes on my phone too, and the Heros lack of support for multiple video formats is a pain. Appart from that, I'm an Android convert now! Android blows Winmo 6.x out of the water IMO.

I'm looking forward to the next generation of Android devices with a larger screen and a better chipset than this god awful Qualcomm 7200.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] solarbird:
Thank you, that is what i need :)

Do you know for how much i can sell my HD? I bought it for 760 Euro.

And one more question, can you download great programs from android store for free? And good games? Is that better than i can have now on HD with winmo 6.5? And one more :D , can you zoom pictures with 2 fingers like on iPhone, and slide them fast?

Sorry for many questions :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Peter Franks:
I've never known Winmo, but didn't you have things like Word and notepad etc, whereby nothing like that on here, as well as being able to write with the stylus and it get translated into type which I'd quite like as its a hell of a lot quicker
[Hero, G2 Touch General] solarbird:
I have never used stylus for typing. I dont like it. I use word (2007), and excel in my HD alot, so is there any program on android that can open .docx document?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] chaps:
Have another play with your friends! Yes, it does pinch zooming in pictures. And have a look on eBay for prices for your HD.

As for office apps, there seems to be a few choices on the app store such as documentstogo for a fee.

I never used the stylus too, so it's each to their own.

Hey there,

in case anyone of you guys would like to navigate not only on land but also at sea i can really recommend garmin xt.

what you want to do to get it working is to buy (or find it on the net) the garmin xt navigator version 5.2 at least (5.4 is ok too)

than get yourself a copy of garmin bluechart for example for the atlantic region.

install it and you'll have all the maps of zone 2, which is the atlantic region. there are to more regions.

with the map, mapsource will install at the same time on your computer.

in mapsource (on pc) select the map choosing tool and click on the map, you need.

connect your windows mobile driven device (i tried it with 6.1 pro) to the pc and click on send data to device in mapsource (tool on pc).

mapsource will now send the maps for sea navigation to the mobile device, which is identified as garmin xt navigation device.

remember to shut down the navigation software on phone before sync. maps.

hope i could help some sailors out there.

by the way its my first thread in this forum. hope i did everything allright.;)

cheers,

ami

Has anyone seen an app for Android like this one for iphone?

I am waiting on a Sprint Hero phone and building a Media Center. I think I will be building a Myth box and this app or one like it would be great for the phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] nofowuw:
Not sure what mythTV is.. but i think it was a way to stream video and music to you iPhone via internet from your home computer (?)

If this is it, "Winamp remote" works just fine to stream musik (havnt tested with viedo yet, will report back when i do) :)

It's really awesome :D

Edit: Video streaming did not work.. which is pretty weird, since winamp remote do have a flashplayer so you can stream movies to the nintendo wii(HTC Hero has newer flashplayer than wii, so it should be possible to stream to the hero(?))

I Might aswell email them about it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] slikgman:
MythTV is a free Linux open source Media Center with a PVR and other addons. I thought it would be cool to be able to stream my recorded shows whenever I wanted to.

here are a couple of links that could show you more.

[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] freddan101:
I second that! Would be awesome to be able to use your Android phone for this.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] yneveu:
There is already an app called mythdroid.

http://code.google.com/p/mythdroid/

I've tried it and could use my hero as a remote for my frontend, browse backend status; There is a patch to apply ton backend to have a better tv programs list. I don't think you can watch recordings or video on phone by now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Agent0013:
I know that the mythweb addon can do streaming to a browser on another computer. If an app on the Android phone could play the file that is streamed, it might work that way? I can't try it until I get my new phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] hammcastle:
Has anybody gotten mythdroid working? I can use it as a remote but playback on the device does not work.

Or does anyone know of a good upnp client that might do the trick?

When making a handsfree phonecall by tapping the speaker button on the dialer the sound quality is terrible bad at the end of the receiver. There is a lot of echo and the volume is very low.

However the sound at the speaker of the rhodium is cristal clear while making a handsfree call.

I'm running the phone with a custom rom at the moment, but I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Some people notice the same behaviour?

Today when I connected my phone to my PC using the data cable I've always used, I got this problem. The prompt that comes up (Active Sync/Data transfer) didn't come up. But the phone started charging. I've tried soft reseting, but it didn't solve a thing.

I have *no* idea why this problem is occuring. Please help.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] antonny:
Hi, Guys.

I have very strange problem :

A few days ago, suddenly I got No GSM at boot screen.

First, after some reset, it show My Radio version back.

But now, I must take out my battery for about 1 or 2 minutes and then put my battery back in and then power on my Universal to get my Radio Version back. Or else it show No GSM.

I have do SIM Unlock, reflash original ROM. But the problem still occure. My device is Super CID already.

What going on with my Universal? I cannot get my radio working with soft reset.

If my radio broke, why I can still get it with battery take out and in?

Note : I do Radio upgrade, with take the battery out, and place the battery in, and then hold Bulb button + Reset + Power. Or else it will give me error 114.

Now I'm using Radio 1.15 and ROM Tomal 8.5. I post this with my Universal + Opera Mini 4.2.

Thx for Ur help, Guys. Cheers...

PS : Sorry for my bad english...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] antonny:
Problem Solved!

Problem solved! :)

Hi, guys, finally I found the solution for no gsm... (for me... Maybe it can help other...)

First, U must have your radio version on Ur boot screen. For me, I take my battery out for at least 2 minutes, and then put it back in. And then power the device on. Then U should see Ur radio version.

Second, U change Ur Network selection to manual, wait, and then choose Ur Operator.

Third, On communication manager turn off, and then turn on Ur Phone.

It works for me, may not be to other. Just try to share...

I really2 hope this can help others..

Cheers... And Good Luck.

If still not, try to reset...

If U cannot pass this step (Still show no gsm), I'm affraid that Ur Radio Hardware is fully damaged.

Second (If U can pass this the first step), U change Ur Network selection to manual, wait, and then choose Ur Operator.

Third, On communication manager turn off, and then turn on Ur Phone.

Just wanna share, may be it can prevent No GSM..

Hi guys, at last my uni get no gsm (when I pull out the battery.. (duh!)... If U're succedd with my step, please don't pull out the batterry)...

Any way, I bring it to repair centre.

After My uni fixed, the repair centre said that every pda must turn off radio every day, cause as far we know, our device can't be turn off (unless we pull out&put it back without press power button). So our radio can get rest... (hmmm now I know why my uni get no gsm.. cause it never turn off and always on for years! Can U imagine that... The Uni radio always searching for signal 24 hour 7 days for years...No wonder my uni radio get broke...)

Anyway, from now, everynite I turn off my uni radio and turn it back on in the morning... Also, now I use ROM Tomal/Ranju 7.7 (cause this ROM can still boot quick&correctly with no gsm...(just prepare if the problem occure again..)

Thanks.. Hope this is right and do a little help...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuzibri:
most of us like the weather in TF3D, but it has some limitations. Now there is a great new weather app, called G-Weather. It works great om my TP2. You can get it at:

http://www.ageye.de/index.php?s=gweather/about

only disadvantage for non-european inhabitants is that they do not get the rain/satellite forecasts for there region because the program is European based.

regards, Kuzibri
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] orb3000:
Thanks for sharing!

Will give it a try:)

EDIT: It´s a great and light app!

Updates are very small!

I will continue testing and if it´s worth probably I´ll go for it!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuzibri:
thanks. it's indeed, certainly when you live in Europe, a great and light app. It is sort of a crossover between TF3D weather and SPB weather. I think it is worth the money (10 Euro or $15.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] khaytsus:
I still love Pocket Plus with the "Wonder" skin.. Last frame of the composite of Pocket Plus I put together last year sometime..

However, once I get a TP2 I'll have to edit it significantly... I should probably go look on the SBSH forums to see if anyone has done it yet. It looks great at QVGA, it'll look even better on the TP2's res and screen size. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] kuzibri:
LOL, but what has this to do with the new weather app?

[G1 Android Development] shaun1509:
{First of all, i DID search high and low to find the answer to my problem before i made this thread.}

I have been using Cyanogen 4.1.11.1 ROM for sometime now without any problems. A couple of day ago i started getting force closes everytime i tried to go on the android market. I tried reflashing my phone using the CM Updater as i thought this might solve the problem, but that didn't work. I have cleared the market data via setting>application settings>manage applications>market>clear cache. That didnt solve the problem either.

Is anyone else using the same ROM as i am and experiencing the same problem?

Does anyone know how i can fix this problem.

Thanks.
[G1 Android Development] your_helpfull_hand:
This is an APP question post in the correct area!!!
[G1 Android Development] valefore:
wrong section or not, i have the exact same rom on my dream and the market runs fine. just move the cm-update zip folder out of the cm updater and put it in the root of your sdcard then try wiping and reformating it. might help, might not. it's not a rom issue though as the market works fine on mine.
[G1 Android Development] shaun1509:
Ok thanks for the info ill try that now
[G1 Android Development] shaun1509:

I wiped/factory reset, rebooted and it works fine again now. i dont know what caused this though.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arkxu:
Hi all,

I flashed the f*cking radio from htc.com website that is for 32B but mine is 32A.

Now the phone can not enter fastboot(return + power) or recovery(home + power). I thought there is no way to get it back. It always halt in the "hami" screen.

But I found one thing today. If I press trackball + power, the screen never turns on but there is a blue light turned on on the top. I think something is running backend that might help my phone back.

Could anyone tell me what is the blue light and what should I do next?

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] cursordroid:
I've flashed a 32B radio on my 32A before just to try some 32B ROMs and never had this problem. I think maybe there's something else messed up.

Once you get the blue light, pull the battery and replace it while holding the back key. Try this also while holding the Home key.

Hope this works for you.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arkxu:
thank you for you reply

I remember I flashed a SPL before but it worked well. may it messed with this radio.

I didn't get you about the 'pull the battery out and replace while pressing the return key'.

The blue light always on. when I am pressing the return key and get out the battery, it turns off, and it never turns on even I put the battery back....

Did I make something wrong.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] arkxu:
another question is :

will golden card works if it can not enter fastboot mode?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] pack:
That means take the back cover off, take the battery out, wait a sec., hold the home/return key while you put the battery back in

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
I am wondering whether the charging methods make a difference to battery life?

How do you charge your battery, and also your initial charge from new?

This is the first phone I've had that I didn't leave the initial charge on all night 16 hours initial as recommended by most phone manufacturers, and I just took it off after a few hours when it was charged up. Do you think that affects the performance of the battery? I've never charged it for more than a few hours. The main reason I don't leave it on all night is because it gets really hot, so when it goes green light, it's done for me

Do any of you let it run out past the amber warning colour as a completely flat battery is probably better to charge?

All my other phones were left on charge all night, every night, but they weren't this type of phone.... and in truth, it makes no difference whatsoever to the battery. The Motos also needed charging every day
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Stunning work guys, 56 views by people I can only assume own the Hero, and nobody wants to divulge their dirty secrets about battery charging... Thanks anyway
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micksta:
Just look around google for Li-ion recharging, there is plenty of resources to read up on when trying to keep battery life at a maximum.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
probably because the hero is so new that nobody can tell anything about the battery life? and i don't suppose any of the 56 people has two heros and did the experiment of charging one full and the other for 16 hours, only to use them in the same manner afterwards and count battery life... ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Yeh, that wasn't actually my point, but thanks anyway!

112 now...

I was wondering how many people just got the phone, and charged it 16 hours initially or couple of hours and go, and do they leave on all night despite it getting hot.

Not hard...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueHawk:
You should charge it until it is fully charged but not leave it on charge extensively - excess heat may cause the battery life to reduce (although I wouldn't know how much degradation this would cause). It is probably ok every once in a while to leave it on charge overnight, in theory the phone should have circuits to protect against overcharging it anyway. 2 hours is about right for a charge cycle. You should charge it when the phone advises to do so - 15% or less charge. The Lithium Ion battery will only recharge cycle effectively a minimum of 300 times but I would estimate conservatively that is the number of times you can recharge. 2 days between recharges would give you about 2 years life out of a battery. I recharge it every two days, and charge time is about 2 hours.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Yeh, I have to charge it every day though......... Never lasts longer. I just wondered if you were supposed to do the initial first charge overnight and whether it sets the standard for the length of time you get each day after that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risterdid:
i guess every hero is different. longest i used my phone without charging is 2 days with moderate use.

before i charge my phone i kill all tasks in the background and clear my browser history. might not make a difference but to me it feels better to have a fresh phone after charge.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peter Franks:
Is that with the task killer app, or is there another way?

I can't imagine mine ever lasting 2 days.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] risterdid:
I'm using TaskPanel as a taskiller...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
when i got the hero the battery was ~half full. i charged it for about half an hour, but had to stop the charging before it was full.

the battery doesn't last longer than one day, although i play a lot with it (obviously). when i put it to the charger i try to let it charge fully up, and i noticed that the charging is stopped when the battery is full (you see the icon in the not.bar go back to normal green battery, and the phone cools down noticably after charging is completed). concerning this i have no problem to leave it plugged in overnight. checked last night, when NOT plugged in it takes 4% of battery for ~7 hours in airplane mode.
