[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphinxy:
Just to let you know - turning GPS off or on is reliant on the application you use.

ie, if you turn GPS on and dont use a program which requires GPS, then GPS wont be activated.

But for my two cents which i've read around:

- Turn off automatic weather updates

- Turn most schedule feeds to be at least 1 hour (twitter, email, facebook etc). The more the longer your battery will last

- Turn off 3G if not actively using internet (as mentioned above)

- Install "Spare Parts" to check which program is eating your battery the most and consider if its worth it or not

- Turn off contact sync after your initial setup on your phone. No need to keep syncing contacts when it doesn't change too often
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamg89:
Advanced Task Killer - Download and properly close apps down after using them. Shortcut on home for quick access

APNDroid - Disable data services (3G/GPRS/EDGE). Home screen widget for quick access

Battery Widget - Handy home screen widget showing battery life and also gives options for enabling/disabling WIFI, GPS and Bluetooth. Also display settings.

Disable auto synchronization on things like people (facebook integration), mail etc.

Screen timeout - 1 minute is normally adequate, but I suppose there's no harm in turning it down to as low as 15 seconds, just depends on how you use it.

Turning off animations? - Don't know about this but surely it won't use as much memory so can't be a bad thing. (Spare parts)

Basically everything is off unless I need it, then I switch it on.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RicFusion:
Ok, so my Micro SDHC card failed on me the other day (no ones fault but my own I know), and I have CM 4.2.3.1 installed and themed, and after setting up my new CLASS 6 card, formatting, and re-flashing the rom, my phone will work again, but all of the apps that I had installed, say their still installed, and I cannot uninstall them, or reinstall them, not even from a file manager. I'm looking for the location of these apps so that I can remove any trace link to them, and hopefully remove that link, and reinstall them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi

Can this HTC P3300 be flash straight from WIN5.0 to WIN6.5? before i flashed it with the cooked rom.

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Oskala:
Do you think there will be any more updates from HTC for TD2, or do you think the upgrade to 6.5 was the last one?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] cyron_at:
..in my opinion wm 6.5 was the last update provided by htc; but our chiefs @xda will provide more updates..I think!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] elmalote:
Last major OS upgrade, but hopefully not the last update, they have got a lot of bugs to sort out after their WM6.5 release!!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] hg23:
It has been mentioned that MS will release a 6.5.1 update to make 6.5 even more finger friendly (in February, I believe). Whether or not HTC or the carriers will provide this per handset is anyone's guess.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dukeandre:
Hello,

i have a Problem with my HTC Touch Diamond. I have a original rom by Vodafone (Germany) on my device.

ROM: 2.09.162.1 GER

Radio: 1.13.25.24

Protokoll-Version 52.65.25.34U_1.13.25.24

I have no HardSPL, Cooked ROM or other Radio ROM flashed on the device (till know)

I am often in places with bad cellular reception (for example labor in basement).

Now the diamond chooses a wrong cellular network (O2 instead of vodafone), when there is no connection to the home network (vodafone).

But in the settings of the telefon, it is set to "manually network selection" and not automaticaly.

Is there any possibilty to forbid choosing a other cellular network?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabsn:
Hi guys,

when i use the shell's ls command i get different outputs depending on if i use my htc phone or the android emulator.

example:

emulator output: tty41

phone's adb output: [1;35mtty41[0m

i used adb for the same folder.

where do these strange symbols (they look different when using the shell than online) come from? they make interpreting the output data hard...

This goes in Q&A, and also you spelled linux wrong in your signature
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fabsn:
ok, if any mod reads this: pls move the topic to Q+A
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dumfuq:
First I'll say the obvious of course. Questions belong in q&a section. To answer your question though. It probably is related to the way the windows cmd.exe handles linux formatting. Personally I don't like to use adb w/ windows unless just doing basic things because of this. As an examples using the 'less' command, 'vi', or 'bash' (although that could be my bashrc file) all get corrupted output using adb from windows (xp at least). These all work fine using adb from linux.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dik:
You can use an alternative terminal tool like ConEmu. ConEmu works better than the default command line with adb.

Hi,

maybe someone here can help me. For a university project I need a mobile with kernel debugger enabled. How can I do that on my hermes? The original owner had flashed that device to WM61 and also flashed a new boot loader on that device. Do I need to roll back the device to WM5 or what do I have to do?

Thanks in avance

Has anyone seen this video?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlrQtaTH3ZE&feature=related

Person claims they somehow flashed Cyanogen's ROM the flashed Hero Over 1.1 and now you have Dream/G1 with working BT. Has anyone confirmed this is possible, or is this just some garbage?

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
From what I've read of the bluetooth/hero scenario, it doesn't sound plausible.. but I didn't watch the video cos I couldn't tolerate the repulsive music or the inabality to FOCUS HIS F*CKING CAMERA!!

I also don't see how it's possible to flash hero-over directly over CM, unless hero-over doesn't format the system partition as part of the flash process.. but I'd imagine that would cause all sorts of problems... This smells of horse **** to me, but we'll see if he comes out with a workable process.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JAguirre1231:

I went to the site and pointed out the fact that no one in XDA has come up with a working HERO in that sense and this guy must have SERIOUSLY brainwashed a few of these kids. One of them started emailing me hate mail and attacking me on Youtube just for questioning the situation.

There's another guy named ItsAnAndroidWorld who's got a video claiming the same thing only he never goes into the bluetooth and tries to turn it on.

I've been reading about using bttest and hcitools to get it working on a HERO rom but i didn't have much luck with HERO Sense. It must only work on a very specific HERO rom.

Yeah, i'm definitely with you guys because i've googled all over for an answer to the HERO rom problem with BT, and there are some possible solutions, but.....i'm not risking bricking my phone just to see if they're right.

wie kann ich das reparieren?

kann ich das wizard in diesem zustand flashen?
[G4] moontger2:
the failures maybe that a Hw problem in the PCB main or Sw issue, for the second try this:

download the wizard love and xtract the nb file

download the soft spl for G4 models

flash with the wizard love flash ( see the readme file for this in the softspl file)

after flash, make a hard reset

search a wm rom (6.1 o 6.5 ) do you prefer and flash it in your wizard again (use the softspl for this like the wizard love)

this method works for me ( in Fw issue only)

[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
If you are dealing with a smartphone with Windows 6.1 installed, you may want to try the unlock the Jack method. This may work if you are dealing with a tier two security. It probably won't work if you are dealing with a full lock:

i can't find where the ForceCellConnection file is located;

it should be in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Comm>InternetSharing>Settings but this path doesn't exist
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
It won't exisist if your ICS is not locked. The ForceCellConnection is a registry setting that is implemented by carriers to lock out wap from being used as a tethering method. Do not worry about it if it is not there. The key is, were you able to install the clearsecurity cab and lower the security settings using the Security Configuration Manager?
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] paperogas:
clearsecurity is properly installed and Security Configuration Manager seems to work
[Non-Touchscreen Windows Mobile Other] fernandezhjr:
If that is the case, the Security Configuration Manager will install a tool cab that will allow you to set the security lower when you make the attempt to do so. One tier promp will allow you to install whatever you want, but will prompt you do so with unsigned apps. Security off will install any app without prompts. When you are done setting the lower security, go to remove programs and uninstall a program that is Mobicontrol. This is what the clearsecurity cab installed. You won't need it anymore and if you don't uninstall it, it will drain your battery.

Hi, as of lately for some reason, I had 4.2.3.1 on my phone the other day and out of no where whenever I would receive text, I would get two notifications one from my SMS app (Handcent) and the other is from the default SMS app.

Now I decided to run dwangs v1.11, and I'm still getting the same issue.

-I'm using a theme, as of now its djengizz 2.0

-I have the handcent SMS app(and yes I did disable the notifications in the default SMS)

-And of course I'm running the 1.6 ROM (Dwangs v1.11)

Is anybody having this same problem? If so, how do you fix it? Some please respond

Check to see if your 3G connection has "the network connects through proxy" enabled and disable it.

where would i find that info the 3g option is on or off doesnt list any options

thanks again for the help
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] lorin.bute:
Well, try to look for it. If its a 3g connection that means it has something to do with connections. So go to settings - connections - connections - manage network connection and the last tab should contain a few check boxes like this network connects to the internet and this network connects through a proxy.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] zonetrichur:
i have a htc 8525 at$t locked-details as below

rom version 2.15.502.3

rom date 04/09/07

radio version 1.40.30.00

bootloader screen details as below

HERM100

IPL-1.03

SPL-1.11

i got HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a to unlock-in it procedure as below.

Install Instructions:

1. Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset

with stylus.

[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 this unlocker will not work, please

wait for the next version]

2. Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.

3. Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.

4. Wait patiently.

5. Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM

will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!

6. Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)

7. Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program

onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.

8. Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.

9. You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.

10. Process is (hopefully) complete!

11. If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978

but my doubt is my SPL is 1.11

can i unlock using HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a?

Yea the HTC recovery image does include a radio, but its the same one we've been using for ages.

Incidentally, it's not radio images that brick your phone, its the 1.33.2005 spl (also known as Haykuro's spl, deathspl, etc), which is only compatible with radio 2.22.19.26I, so unless you're using that spl you can flash radios freely.

And I really want a fix for this bug ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581806 ), as well as to run apps2sd, wifi-tether etc.

But before I do, I want to make sure my bases are covered. I've done some searching on the forums, and I keep getting bogged down in a number of lengthy discussions, that don't quite answer everything, so I will ask for some help here.

When I make a recovery rom using the above steps, will that be for a factory fresh install, if I use it to recover? Or, do I have to wipe the phone, and then make the recovery rom image?

If needed, how do I do a restore, using the recovery rom?

How am I supposed to make a Nandroid backup? All I can find are the source code. Where are some executables I can use?

If I need to restore using Nandroid how do I do it? The provided instructions tell me to use the camera button (G1), but my Hero doesn't have one.

Is there anything else I need to do, to make sure I can get back to a factory stock, non-rooted device if needed?

Is there anything else i need to do, so that I can run stuff likes apps2sd, wifi-tether, or any of the root apps at the market?
