[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
Hey guys,

Been lurking for a few weeks, figured it was time to post.

I took my phone into a local sprint store (for the battery/SMS issue, plus an internal hook-up is giving me another battery), and my internal guy said that sprint is sending out an update for at least the battery issue sometime late this week (10/25/09-11/01/09) or early next week. He told me he was waiting on the SD card sprint sends out large updates on. I asked if maybe this was donut and he told me not to hold my breath, but at least the battery issues will be fixed. He also said that sprint HQ is telling the techs that battery life will improve up to 35%.

Cheers,

Matt
[Hero CDMA General] tduck:
Part of the sluggishness in creating updates for the Sprint Hero specifically I think is the fact that the 1.5 ROMS we run now are cobbled together to add CDMA support. Think about it - this is the only currently released HTC Android phone on a CDMA network, guys. Ever. So updating the Sprint Hero ROM to 1.6, which supposedly has built in CDMA support, is going to take longer than for the GSM version which doesn't need to worry about switching over from a homebrew radio support to the new Android-provided support.
[Hero CDMA General] johnsongrantr:
I'm sorry, I don't mean to bash your comments here. But there's a good chance that the CDMA support in 1.6 was built around the work the google, sprint, and htc engineers all worked together to build. Seeing they have the first CDMA android phone.

I would be VERY surprised if there's a team of cell radio engineers working within google. I'm willing to say with the upmost confidence that the layer in which you think is bugged in the hybrid 1.5(cupcake) will not be fixed with a full android 1.6 (donut) release by it's self.

With the reports that both GSM and CDMA are having problems with receiving sms's, now the problem to the battery leak in the sms application. I'd venture to say it's on HTC (rosie) portion of the code not google's (donut)

I used to have a HTC mogul and it had similar SMS problems, getting double txt's (i even got a couple of them on my hero but ignored it), and expecially awaking from sleep problems... (15 missed calls, never once ringing) I never waited to see these problems fixed and I had that phone for about a year.

I've never in the past had any problems with my LG, SAMSUNG, or SANYO in reference to sms's or power. This is really feeling like a htc specific problem, not a android.

I'm not saying you won't see these fixed in htc's 1.6 hopeful release, if it is fixed it's only because HTC fixed rosie/senseui, not something android did or didn't do correctly.
[Hero CDMA General] irishman06:
My understanding of the android dev tree is that 1.5, 1.6, and 2.0 are/were at some point being simultaneously developed. I'd be willing to bet that the CDMA drivers/source/etc. that's already in the Sprint Hero is the same stack included in Donut, just compiled with the rest of the 1.5 source.

But I'm not an OS developer, so I don't know if this is exactly how it works.
[Hero CDMA General] tduck:
I agree with you - I'm sure it's a problem with HTC's software itself. I was just trying to point out why it's likely taking longer than many would like for HTC to get an update (whether it's still on 1.5+CDMA, 1.6, or to 2.0) is due to the complexity of the situation... we've got a brand new device from a company unfamilar with Android+CDMA running its own custom UI, running an OS that is constantly changing that enables users to customize their running processes endlessly. HTC is really up against a wall in terms of trying to hit fast-moving targets on these updates, I think. Some frustration is warranted, but the phone has been out for 3 weeks now, and who is an early adopter that doesn't expect some bumps in the road?
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
The 35% battery improvement is great! I'm getting EXCELLENT battery life, so any more helps considerably. I'm not sure why my Hero doesn't suffer the always on battery issue that the SMS app generates, but maybe it's because I auto kill quite a few apps on a regular basis.
[Hero CDMA General] pinaise:
nvm found the answer
[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
@Kmart

I kill apps all the time too, or I find the hardware hard to keep up with the software, and I still will only manage like....3 hrs talk time. I love the phone, but I am hoping the update makes life better.
[Hero CDMA General] Orangeandblue302:
Man if my Hero got 35% better life I would only have to charge it every other day:rolleyes:. I have done the workaround, so the update wouldn't really apply to me just allow me to use the native messaging app, and my battery life is amazing.
[Hero CDMA General] Merckle:
Just have to remember that Sprint Is Just now to the the Android game, Mr. Dan Hess Said that nows the time and just have to wait for the bugs to be all worked out, Everyone should have known that with new projects there are problems to come along with it.

But what can we do but just wait and stand in line waiting for more and more updates to come lol
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
2.0 for Hero!

http://htcsource.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=791&Itemid=50

It seems HTC is skipping 1.6 and going to 2.0

makes sense. why push an update to 1.6 when 2.0 is around the corner? :cool:
[Hero CDMA General] Merckle:
AWESOME NEWS :)

GJ on find
[Hero CDMA General] 27s:
As far as the battery update goes, check out the thread I made about First vs. second gen hardware...I don't want to repost.
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
Im pretty sure the 2.0 update applies to the sprint Hero although that emale HTC sent was regarding the Euro Hero

I wonder how sprint would push it out? Didnt they say there was a problem with OTA updates?
[Hero CDMA General] nelson8403:
# The rumors are true! Hero will be getting an Eclair update. We ask for your patience as we update Sense for the fancy new Android OS.about 1 hour ago from CoTweet

thats from htc's twitter

http://twitter.com/htc

it looks like both Hero's will get it, but it doesn't say when.. it just says they ask for our patience
[Hero CDMA General] Merckle:
and so the good news comes :)

http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/htc-confirmed-to-be-cooking-up-android-2-0-update-for-hero-othe/
[Hero CDMA General] icreepin:
Since we are getting the 2.0 I would suggest we just focus on rooting the hero after that update. At that point we would be working on the same things that HTC is working on.
[Hero CDMA General] Merckle:
Very true,

**Side Note**

Went to the sprint store today because I sold my touch pro to a guy and wanted to make sure it was clean. And I was talking to him about the Verzion Driod and the rep was like why do you want that you already have the hero its the same thing. Was like ya well I know that. I was like I am just waiting on a upgrade for it and shes like why do you want to do that the phone just came out. I was like well there is a SMS/Battery leak and there should be a upgrade for it, she tried to play dumb then finally broke in and is like ya I know about it hahahahaha

Why are you going to try to hide it, I have already bought the phone the sales part is over hahaha you dont have to try to sale me the phone

I am running Xanny Techs ROM Leo 1.7.

When I try to reply to a text message, it says that it sends it then a few minutes later I get a text message saying "your MSG could not be DELIEVERED because of InvalidPDUcontent"

It will send a new text without this error. This only happens when I try to reply. Has anyone come across this? Any fix ? :confused:
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Imperium:
It either means that you're sending over 160 characters in a single message. Try shortening it to 160 characters or less. Or it can also mean that there is a bug in the SMS client you are using.

What ROM do you use?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryche316:
it's definately a bug. I will get the error if I send any amount of characters, wheather it's 1 or 160
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] afr33s:
You should have posted to Xanny's ROM thread and not start a new one as this is to do with that ROM.

I would recommend searching that thread for your solution and/or downloading the latest version of the ROM which will hopefully not have the same problem...
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryche316:
I did try posting on Xanny's thread and haven't received any answers. I did download the latest version and unfortunately it has the same issue.

i flash xannyteck 1.7, and cannot receive sms and telephone from anyone.

so... you flash again xannyteck 1.9B, its very better...

now i used xanny xtrom 1.9B

try it
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] abwyatt:
I believe that these ROMS have the HTC messaging disabled in them, in other words sending or replying to SMS from the Message Tab will give the problem you have. You need to use WM messaging for these ROMs, or if you don't like that, for XannyTech choose his ROM version with HTC messaging enabled - he has 3 different versions of his ROM.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] KukurikU:
you didn't receive any answers because you might be the only one with this bug. the conclusion could be that the ROM is not to blame. maybe yr carrier, one of yr applications or tweaks u applied:confused:

always first test all the functions (at least the important ones) immediately after flashing/before u install any other application or tweak. if it's OK than continue with yr apps and only at the end apply yr tweaks.

anyway, i don't think that opening a new thread is going to help....

hi.. I've just bought a D2 and installed coreplayer. I dun seem to be able to play anything smoothly. Can some one provide their settings for a smooth playback please ? thanx for your help :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] sualc:
It's hard to help without having any info about your ROM,Coreplayer version etc. I guess it's a bitrate problem that is just too high. Generally, DIVXs downloaded from internet or DVDRips are meant to be played on PCs and I never managed to play them smoothly directly in Topaz. My solution is to convert (everything is automatic) video files with HTC Touch HD Video Converter. You'll get a smooth and detailed playback on Coreplayer and HTC Album.

My Coreplayer 1.3.0 b.6213 video settings are:

Video output: QTv Display

Video quality: High

Smooth Zoom: On

Now I have a couple of questions(please direct me where to post this correctly, yes i has spent hours searching blutetooth problems and havent founfd my prblem):

1) is anyone having bluetooth problems? I hear fine for fone calls(using stereo platronics voyager 855), but when switching to music or just playing music in general, its skips. The only way to fix the problem is to turn off bluetooth, play music, turn on bluetooth. That stops when someone calls; the music starts the skipping and I have to do the whole process over.

(please direct me where to post this correctly, yes i have spent hours searching blutetooth problems and havent found my prblem; dont beleive me search yourself)

2) ok now the noob question. I partitioned with amon ra, and I am wondering if the apps are running from my sd..also do i need it a ext 3 or ext 4 (a link to the correct thread is fine)

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] Elrohir:
Hi all.

Trouble. Big i guess. :eek:

Using mtty i tried to upgrade to the GenY D2 4.1 Rom. I flashed a lot of times using mtty with good results. However today my diamond hangs on the upgrading process. So after an hour I reset the device. Then i got the bootloader mode saying "Upgrade ROM code error. Please try again".

Another shot (using the whole mtty cycle again) doesnot settle the problem however.

I guess that something went wrong with the copyprocess of the rom from my computer to the internal storage of the device.

some more info:

after task 28 in mtty i see this:

Cmd>task 28 55aa

Format start

Fill RSVD information for block 288 to 321

Storage start sector=0xC740, total sector=0xDFC0

Storage start block=830, total block=895

Total Bad Block in CE: 0

Erase physical block from 1120 to 2048

formatstorage Bad block found: 1416 How bad is this??

Format end

Cmd>​

So now what? Bricked or....

In general : somebody got an idea or advice?

More specific: is there a way i can copy a new rom to the internal storage, considering i am stuck in bootloader.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avril_chn:
Hi all,

I'm new to windows-base phone, there are two problems that I have with my TD2, and I don't seem to find the answers on the forum.

For some reasons, my TD2 has no problem of updating weather, but it cannot go online at all. I don't how to fix it. Recently, it pops up two windows constantly,

One says " Cannot Connect. Dialed: The answering modem has disconnected. To check your connection settings and change them if needed, tap Settings."

Second one says: "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network."

I bought my phone in Hong Kong, and I just installed Hard-SPL to change the language back to English. Ever since I installed it, the phone keeps popping up those two windows. I have tried to re-installed it, it worked until yesterday. I also tried factory reset, it is still not working. I really don't what the problems are and how to fix them.

HELP, PLZ!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Avril
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pete_S:
Just a thought: borrow a SIM on a different network from a friend and replace your SIM with it, and the phone should offer to import the new network settings.

Then put your SIM back and the phone should re-import your network settings again. It's just a stab in the dark really...

The other thought (which affects users in the UK on t-mobile) the phone imports a "proxy server" setting from the SIM which is wrong. You have to delete this in Settings/Connections before you can go online with Opera.

I am running KingxKxROM and i noticed the HTC Flash player app while browsing BetterCut and creating an activity shortcut. I made the shortcut and then tried to launch it from the home screen and I keep getting force closes.

1) can this app be independently launched?

2) can this app play adobe shockwave flash objects?

3) can this app play .flv file formatted videos?

I had a Nokia 5610 and it had Flashlite 2.1 and was able to play some shockwave flash objects files but due to its low memory it could only do smaller files and such.

I was wondering if this HTC flash player can do the same. If so, can some one tell me how?
[G1 Apps and Games] BlackElvis79:
I don't think it's an app to be launched by itself, but through the browser. It comes with most hero builds, and only works on Hero builds
[G1 Apps and Games] zayg1:
Yeah I believe it is for browser use only. Like if a webpage uses javascript like YouTube, You can watch the video from the actual website & not have to have it open up the YouTube app. That is just one example though. If I am wrong someone please correct me.

First of all, the credit goes to scottymomo at PPCGeeks. Here is the original thread I found the program at.

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=4161

Now I liked the program, but it wasn't enough for me. I wanted more than one score on the screen at a time. I installed SecondToday and Manila Today Page so that I could have more plug-ins on my Fuze. I was wanting to set up one of those dedicated to sports scores. So I dug into Pocket Sports Center to see if it could be done. It could! At least a little. For now I can get it to show 5 scores at once.

For now the game trax/lineups/over view does not work. I've had to disable that for now until I can work around it. But with football season in full swing, I thought some of you would appreciate being able to see multiple scores.

For future updates, I plan to get to the game trax/lineups/over view working again and to increase the number of scores displayed - maybe even make that an input option. I'd also like to select specific NCAA teams.

I'll need to create a new DLL though and I have no experience with that. But I'd like to learn so I can improve this great little app from Scottymomo.

To install I would install Scottymomo's app first then my cab second to modify it. In the future I will create one install cab, but for now do both.

Enjoy.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] howdykeith:
Very cool...

btw, u can use two instances of billboard.dll, which would give u 10 lines. I havent read how u r installing Billboard.dll, but u can name a copy Billboard2.dll, for example.

I am also using Billboard in my StatusTicker app. I am going to include your sport score app in the Ticker (ifn u dont mind). I will include a link to this page.

Here is a Billboard with RSS, i also made SMS fit on Billboard too.

I have also done some things with moving data up and down the billboard. ultimately it could be upgraded to handle arrays of display elements, as well as scrolling up and down more that one or two billboard.dll. that would mean 15 or more lines to scroll with.

(I assume these menus would work on you phone too)

And if anybody wanted to, we can have a popout menu for sportscenter to switch teams and other sub options.

Very very cool.

I didn't know about adding a second Billboard.dll. I might have to look into that. I'm going to try and look into making a co0kie home tab widget for this. I was hoping to export to a file all the scores that were downloaded based on the user selections. Then maybe the widget could read the scores and display all of them and be scrollable.

We'll see. I'm going to research the next couple of days on it.
