Can anybody tell me if Call History is fixed on newer builds of Photon / Titanium EnergyROM ? It's not working on my 10/7 version.

(ps I didn't post in the EnergyROM thread because it is getting horribly convoluted and unusable .. can't find a damn thing in there)

Thanks !

You should just post in the ROM thread. Don't clutter the ROM Development section with these kind of threads. If you think a thread is a mess it doesn't mean to make a mess of a whole section :P

How are you guys backing up / restoring your setups as you upgrade your ROM versions ? Surely you don't re-install all your stuff every time.

Thanks !
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mccune:
To be closed soon...

For backing up:

Sprite Backup

Resco Backup

SPB Backup

PIM Backup by DotFred

Re-configure using SASHIMI or RC ready ROM's.

Do some research first... ...been discussed countless times on xda...

Hi,

so kernel sources are released. Is there any fix for hero's wifi problems? I mean dropping connection to AP. It is so annoying, I tried to do everything: change channel, mode, encryption... Nothing helped. It is Linksys wrt160nl. The same applies to other networks (some public hot spots).

Could you paste your wifi settings? (mode, encryption mode, channel)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mopodo:
Using the Modaco custom ROM 2.8 (never had problems with modaco ROM and generic)

Router: Linksys WRT54GL running Tomato 1.25 firmware

Wireless Mode: Access Point

B/G Mode: Mixed

Channel: 1 - 2.412 Ghz (try a free one)

Security: WPA / WPA2 Personal

Encryption: AES

Group Key Renewal: 3600 seconds

No Mac Filter

Under Advanced Settings I changed "Transmit Power" to 251mW for a better signal, the rest are default values.

Try to update your router firmware ;)

Are you alone with this problem?

I have the same problem. It is so ****in annoying. My router is a Linksys WRT54G with Tomato firmware v1.25. Router is in "G only mode", WPA-2 PSK-AES security, I've set a static local IP for the phone, the phone's wireless is set to always ON... I basically tried everything I could think of. Ended up rooting the phone and installing Modaco 2.9... but didn't change anything. The only way I can get it work again when it drops is shut the Wi-Fi off then on...

Worst of all this is the problem seems widespread (but not universal)... What the **** does HTC think putting a ****in smartphone on the market with defective Wi-Fi... This is non-sense.

I really hope someone comes up with a fix or HTC updates this... otherwise we might want to start thinkin bout class action.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelbytes:
probs here too ...

Linksys WAP54G v3.1

vs

HTC Hero

was working perfectly for first month or so, but has been getting worse and worse. ie, for a few weeks it would see the wifi but would usually fail to connect. now I'm lucky if it can see it at all!

have reflashed the wap with dd-wrt and experimented with a lot of settings. no diff.

have reflashed the hero with hero21 comunitry v1.6. no diff. (and also latest radio)

it just starts and stops when it feels like it.

oh, and my eeepc works fine on the same wifi, so I know it's not some wap screw up.

tried every tip I can find like 'use mixed mode' or 'g only', etc etc.

I am starting to think it's a hardware fault?

Same problem

Siemens Gigaset Tiscali modem with wpa psk2 tkip and T-mobile hero rom.

Sees the modem and connects with security first time but then says 'remembered out of range' on wifi settings but interestingly in wifi buddy it constantly has the syncing symbol next to the network.

Really annoying.

I've tried WEP and security off, wireless g only etc etc.

I have problems too but seems different to yours... but who knows : in fact i can't connect to wifi when the SSID is masked. Even if - or course - i put manuualy the ssid before with the good wep key. It happens on a livebox ( orange box )... but if i press the button to show the wifi network - it has to be made when you connect a device for the first time on this box - then it connects to the network... else it tells me that the network is out of range...

So does the wifi on hero has problem with masked SSID ? To compare i never had this problem - on the same box - with the touch diamond and the touch hd... and at home, not masking the ssid, the connection is ok without doing anything.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zophar78:
You can flash the radio ROM without any impact on system ROM (Good point to know).

First you have to flash a new recovery rom explained in this thread xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=561124. If your Hero is not rooted (like mine) you'll have to install an app named "flashrec" (Search "flashrec google code" in google). This will backup your current recovery rom and install a new one.

Then go here xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563757 and download the latest version of the radio ROM and put it on your SD card.

Once these steps are done, boot in recovery mode (Home button+Switch On button), do a "Nand backup" (This will backup the entire phone system, data, settings, radio on your SD card).

Then use the option "Flash zip ..." and select the radio rom you've just copied on your SD card.

That's it. Hope it will solve your problem, good luck.

PS: Sorry I can't paste any URL cause of forum restrictions.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederikk:
Thank you very much for your explanation :)

but the hero has to be rooted... :( so i have to pass now.. i'm not enough aware on how it has to be made..read the tutos.. but quite afraid yet.. i'm coming from windows phone, and it was much easier to flash a rom :)

Ciao

Fred

Edit : i just re-read carefully and i see it has not to be rooted... good... i will read carefully the thread.. thanks !

Edit 2 : ok this is too complicated for me... i installed flashrec ... booted in bootloader mode ( to make the nand backup )... but only see a warning icone on the phone... connected it to the pc, but nothing... installed android sdk adb... same issue. I won't waste this "wifi" thread, but isn't there a simple tuto for newbies ?

Edit3 : ok.. i installed flashrec..and installed the RA img... in bootloader i manage to make a NANDbackup... and my phone is booting again with no problems !! Everything is well for now... but when i try to update the radio... with the update.zip option it tells me there is no file... stupid question : do i have to rename the .zip file in update.zip ??? Moreover do all the radios are compatible with a european gsm phone ?

Sorry for disturbing this topic on wifi...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zophar78:
I have also a non rooted GSM hero.

I've just copied the zip file in the root of my SD card (I renamed it "radio.zip", but i think this point doesn't matter).

Normally when you select the option to flash, the file should appear in the list, and you should be able to select it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederikk:
Ok i saw that. In fact i put the *.img file... so no zip file of course... now i'm looking for the best radio rom... some people say that after upgrading radio the phone was bricked.. and some looses their wifi connection !

Has anyone sorted this Wifi problem yet, it is really annoying, I live in a 3 hero household (2 U t-Mob, 1x Orange) and none of us can connect to my home router and various routers we encounter. The network is seen and sometimes the password can be completed successfully but then the connection doesn't pass any data.

Update:

I've solved the problem on my home router by first selecting 'connect to mobile data' OFF, in the long press end key menu. A bit wierd thet this is what is confusing the phone. I'll test on other routers and report back.

Also works when using my laptop as a router. It looks like this solves the problem, woo hoo!

hi guys,

i just found out that our 4 hardwarekeys on our blackstone are just driver-made. that means our touchpad goes down to the keys.

this can easily be proved by using slide2unlock2: while sliding, go down to the keys and it is still possible to move the slider.

so why don't we tweak the driver for the buttons a bit to have e.g. 5 softkeys? we could move the home and back button a little bit aside.

i often missed the "startmenu"-key on my hd.

of course we don't get that printed on our device, but if you know where these buttons are, it could be very usefull.

so, what do you think? is it possible to realize?

unfortunately i'm not gifted with these programming skills, but i bet somebody around here can definitly do it!

greetings,

guro
[Touch HD General] guro:
no one interessted in this?

think of the buttons an HD2 has, i mean the same alignment! so in one row should be dial, home, windows, back, hang up buttons.

do you know which dll is the driver for the buttons?

thanks in advance!

Hi, first time i have ever had a problem with a Hermes device.

I have a Vodafone VPA version, and i have flashed "Schap's 4.31" WM6 PRO fine, like i have on many other devices in the past.

It is actualy a phone i was just sent back from someone on eBay because there was no network signal on any sim provider at all. I had unlocked it before i sent it but he has obviously done somthing to it.

So now, i can re-flash the rom fine, but i can not CID unlock it at all.

It gets to that point and give me the ERROR [262] message.

I am using "v3a by pof" to do the CID unlocking.

I have looked at the device infomation (as i can go on to windows just fine) and i do not have an IMEI number or a Radio version or a Protocol versioni number.

I think i basicaly need a Radio Rom upgrade/flash to fix it? But i can not seem to do it.

Is it somthing to do with bad blocks?....

I am dual booting Vista & XP from my laptop and have tried on both OS.

Any help would be amazing.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
Work around I've found for flashing the recovery image if you can't figure out fastboot (I've never got it to work) is like this:

1. Follow the root procedure.

2. Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image (reason I do this is he's got some linux commands built into his ROM that aren't installed in the vanilla android build).

3. Download the cm-recovery-1.4.img to your sd card (or whichever recovery image you like)

4. Run terminal commands like so:

$su root (the reason I do this is it gives you higher level access to the system than just su, and I've found it doesn't work with just su for some reason)

#flash recovery /sdcard/cm-recovery-1.4.img

#reboot

5. Hold your home key as it powers up, and you should have the new recovery image installed.

Of course, I'd say do a full wipe, then install the ROM, and go through the fix permissions and clear cache.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
You won't be able to use terminal from recovery until you have a thirdparty recovery image installed. The steps I've listed are for a working phone, and I'm sure that's where part of your problem is. I'd suggest doing a wipe (Alt+W) and going through the root process again. When you get the CM Rom, change the name of it to update.zip, then try the steps I mentioned. I'd suggest having a separate SD card with just DREAMIMG.nbh installed on it for emergencies (especially if you're going to partition your main card).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EvGeNN2007:

2) Install the most recent CM rom without using the HTC image(What is it? Can explane?)

4) Terminal as i understand its Telnet?

Can i do works a boot mode and then downgrade it to RC29?? Because after it i'll know what to do... Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
Basically to get this working you're going to need to downgrade to RC29 first - so follow the root instructions.

CM = CyanogenMod ROM. To get his working fully you need two roms, which are the HTC Developer ROM and the 4.x ROMs he created (reason being legal distribution of software), but for my instructions, on his ROM page, you're going to skip his instructions, just download his ROM, rename it to update.zip and just flash it from the stock recovery, just so you can get to the terminal once the phone boots up and load terminal (it's in the programs tray). When another screen pops up asking if you want to allow it to use SU functions (it will as soon as you type "su") hit allow.

Terminal is a program downloadable from the Market, it's included with the CM ROM.

His instructions for install are not going to work unless you have a thirdparty recovery image, which at this point from the description, the triangle with the exclamation point is the default system recovery image.

CM Rom page

You should be able to find the Root posts and choose a customed recovery image, there's about 4 or 5 really good ones, I use Cyanogen's, thus my instructions on how to flash it.

You're fortunate that you're getting to the stock recovery, means your phone isn't bricked.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnyFlash:
Not sure what you mean? Telnet for these intents and purposes is basically just a command. The page on how to root has become pretty convoluted at this point. The part where it tells you to type 'telnetd' is just running a script which is an exploit in the old releases of android. You won't be messing with Terminal really until you get to the point where you've updated the rom. From this point, I'd suggest downloading this root.apk from your browser, install it, allow it, follow the instructions step by step in the program.
