That sounds promising...sadly, just because the software supports it, doesn't mean the hardware does. If you're in a 4G area, you could try flipping it and finding out. :) (or if not, maybe someone else will? post the full path to the file if you can and perhaps someone in a 4G area will be kind enough to experiment ^_^)

[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
Sweet! I'm about 400 miles from the nearest 4G area or I'd test it myself. Let us know your results! :D
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Sorry to burst your bubble guys but the Hero's radio only supports CDMA. Not WiMax. 4G is being lit up for Sprint all over the place now but primarily for computers. Sprint has not announced a WiMax (4G) capable phone yet so we have a little bit of waiting for that one and when it comes out you will need a new phone.
[Hero CDMA General] cteneyck:
it actually has three radios (maybe 4) cdma, bluetooth, and wifi. You are prolly right tho. i tried to change the setting but adb wouldn't let me push the file.

forgot about gps but its just a reciever
[Hero CDMA General] thecodemonk:
Did you double check that the /system was mounted rw again? I noticed after an update I had to put in the "mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system" again to modify the filesystem.

(All else fails, try pushing it to that /data/local where we dropped the asroot2 file earlier and just move it in place once in root shell)

c:\...\> adb push tiwlan.ini /data/local/
c:\...\> adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# mv /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini.old
# mv /data/local/tiwlan.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini

This is all theoretical, I haven't tested the commands above but they should work. I did test the "# mv /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini /system/etc/wifi/tiwlan.ini.old" command (and back just in case)

Nope, 4G is for Lappy's or AirCards atm, not phones.

Access the Web, download content, send pictures, and more.

These devices work on the Sprint 4G network:

Sierra Overdrive Hotspot

USB Modem U300

USB Modem U301

If you pay attention to Sprints commercals, when they mention the 4G network, they usually show an AirCard in the background, not a phone.

Here's hoping.........

And you actually trusted what a Best Buy employee said. For shame :p

But really Best Buy training is laughable at best & I know this first hand, since I used to work at one & I was constantly facepalming whrn listening to other employees speak to customers.
[Hero CDMA General] rdisanza:
lol Mate, Never EVER believe a salesperson, when their mouth is open, they are usually lying.

You know more about it than they do usually..............
[Hero CDMA General] 06ms6:
Mobile training is not like the rest of the store, all new hires to that department are supposed to go to a training session, usually out of town. It's a "store within a store" it's technically separate from the Best Buy core. Only reason I know this is I was part of the Best Buy Mobile launch at my store (before Best Buy just had that sad wireless department by the iPods).

Anyway, of course a lot of stores don't follow the rules and just hire people in and get lazy on the required training, but if it's being done right Best Buy Mobile employees should be better trained compared to the rest of the store.
[Hero CDMA General] jonnythan:
There are no 4G phones in existence yet. There will be, though.
[Hero CDMA General] erasmogjr:
lol When I bought my bb curve a while back the lady at the sprint store kept ranting about how I had made the best decision because and I qoute "even though our network is pretty slow right now 4G is coming soon" I asked her which phones would be 4g capable and she said that all phones even the dumb phones would be capable since it was only "a network upgrade" I could tell she didnt have a clue about anything she was saying when I told her that I thought the phones would have to have 4g radios the way that phones need 3g radios and she responded "no only a few phones offer fm radio" lmao I love salespeople.
[Hero CDMA General] obededom:
the bad thing is, these sales people pitch this crap to people who don't know any better. Then that customer doesn't feel too nice about their Sprint service. It's not conducive to good customer service, but it's rampant in the mobile phone provider market.

that's why at least a couple times a day people rant to me about how bad Verizon, t-mobile, att and Sprint are.

true, they have a point with ATT :p
[Hero CDMA General] kylez64:
I thought I'd make this thread to discuss what we can do with root and things to come... ect..

changing ROMS and RECOVERY IMAGES

changing themes

adding and removing files from the main device memory using abd, fastboot or root explorers, enabling bluetooth file transfers

has a specific section that is great at saying what root does/can do for you

Im Very Glade to see how fast this thing was rooted

Thanks to everyone involved to make this possible!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUriel:
Well i haven't found any 1 with the same problem as my friend. I rooted his white G1 and for weeks it worked perfect now it'll freeze and there is no way to turn it off but by taking the battery off so he does that when powering on its stuck on the G1 screen and unlike others i know it isn't bricked. Reason being i can access (Home+Power) and i think (Camera+Power) but if i wipe and re-flash or flash new theme same thing happens. Any one know whats going on and if there's a solution to made this stop ?

Edit : Forgot to say he has everything the same as i do. 1 click root, danger SPL, lattes radio, RA-dream 1.2.2 recovery IMG. Except this doesnt happen to me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
did you say flash a new theme? themes sometimes do that to roms. they make them unstable. well at least a handful do. does the same problem occur if you just flash a rom and no theme?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUriel:
Well first it was with Hero on the phone so he believed it was that. Then i installed a donut ROM with a theme and the same keeps happening.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
some hero roms freeze as well, especially if you didn't set it up right with all your partitions and such. My suggestions would be to flash over a rom with NO theme and see what happens. Then you can go from there.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUriel:
What if i flash a ROM with no theme and same keeps happening ? What then ?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazz9690:
hopefully that won't happen, but if it does, I would suggest you reformat the sd card. from there, you can try different roms. every phone is different to certain roms. For example, some phones experience blurry screens when flashing a certain hero rom, but the same thing does not happen with another hero rom. There are a lot of variables to take into consideration. Worse comes to worst, you can try to unroot and reroot the phone, but I am not sure if that would even do anything.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUriel:
Well thnx for the help. Ill do as told.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheUriel:
Well tazz9690 thnx for your help. My friend just left his phone charging over night and that seemed to have fix his problem. IDK how...:confused:
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B-man007:
just so he knows... he can reboot by pressing menu+talk+power at the same time so he doesnt need to pull the battery.

reformatting the ext partition may help
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] humpda:
Hi

Can anyone point me in the right direction for where to access the original 1.12 or 1.13 ROM. I want to keep it aside in case I ever need to downgrade. Does it need to be o2 or can it be the Imate or QTEK branded ROM? In Cotulla's downgrade instructions he says "[YOU *MUST* REPLACE ROMUpgradeUt.exe TO MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe]". To do this, do I need to extract the files from the original ROM...? and where do I get the maupgrade file?

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] arjaylight:

Hi mate, follow this thread for the ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=4901332. Please note that you can extract the .exe and be sure that you wont use the included ROMUpgradeUt.exe. Use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe instead. You can get it from here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=MagicianRomUpgrade.

[General Topics] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
The codename is the HTC Desire according to pdadb.net, but there doesn't appear to be a forum for it on XDA. Just give the moderators some time to suggest the addition of the forum and the admins will get around to it eventually (assuming it's not just a minor variation of another device, like the Imagio is a varation of the Diamond2). Hope that helps

anyone using TouchTwit...?

great interface great features etc

Issues I am having is

no sound notifications when i get new tweets

no way to have all twitter accounts to show up on the home screen like Pockettwit

I think it is a good app but needs to add some pockettwit features to be the leader...

Anyone else with input?
[General Topics] GREGHARKINS:
sounds

Just found on another forum that this program has no suppport for sounds for new incoming messages only direct messages and new mentions but failed to add new messages..

I hope they fix that in the next update.

Also, does the app update all Twitter accounts you have added to the app always or only when you have them on the "main" screen.

Wifi tether doesn't seem to work for some of us. For me personally it connects but does not have an internet connection. Is it working for anyone? Failing?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] FoxRacR17:
Having same issue as you. My dell mini 10v connects, takes a bit longer then usual to acquire network address, and when it does the internet still doesnt work.

I'm sure its just a matter of the program being updated to work on the CDMA hero
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] djschny:
Ditto

I'm having the same problem as well. Connects after a very long time and receives IP information, but nothing after that. Has anybody reported to the wifi-tether developer yet?

As soon as it works on the Hero, I'm ready to donate, as I gladly paid money for WmWifiRouter on my previous phones.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] QuiQNeZZ:
Same problem with me. Is anyone else getting the "AC disabled" message in the notification window once the PC is "supposedly" tethered? I noticed my phone getting really hot.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] teli:
I'd really like to know why this works in the Mocado ROM but not just by installing the application alone after rooting. I don't want to start messing with custom ROMS just yet.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] QuiQNeZZ:
Not sure but what I did notice is that when I ran it for the first time on Mocado's ROM I got a prompt asking me to "Allow" the app certain rights. Now when I installed the app before I flashed his ROM but right after rooting my phone I did not get this prompt. Maybe the way it's installed on his ROM has something extra that has it correctly and fully installed on the ROM to allow it to work properly.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] erasmogjr:
the permissions screen is just adding the program to the super user whitelist kinda like a list of programs permitted to run as su maybe downloading super user white list off the market I remember getting it from there with my G1 if not just pull the apk from the modaco Ron but you should try the modaco rom you don't even have to wipe all your settings and everything will stay the same.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] CapnBry:
I know it isn't ideal, but you can share the internet connection ICS style if you do the following:

adb shell

su
/system/bin/netsharing net on
echo 4 > /sys/devices/platform/msm_hsusb/usb_function_switch

At which point you will get disconnected from your adb shell and the internet Windows will recognize the Hero as an NDIS adapter. To turn it off I just go into Settings -> Wireless -> Mobile network sharing and toggle it on then off again.

There might be a way to get netsharing to also flip the usb function, using net_and_usb but it doesn't seem to work and my ARM disassembly skills aren't good enough to tell why.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] buck1623:

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Thomas1218:
Mine works flawlessly on MoDaCo's Rom. Im guessing it has something to do with a string of code that the custom rom has that the stock one doesnt.

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] govno64:
Anyone know if there's a workaround for USB tether yet, that allows native mobile network sharing? (not that crazy switch off/switch on quickly workaround that doesn't always work)

I don't really like the wifi tether because it drains my battery, even if my phone is plugged in to my laptop via USB.

Also, I haven't been able to get above 1.2 mbps down speeds with the wifi tether, and I was hoping that native mobile network sharing might help this. Anyone else having slow connection issues with this?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] atoy74:
Wifi tether does not work on the stock Sprint ROM. It does (for some reason) work on Modaco's.

Check this link for the developers thread on whats happening - http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/issues/detail?id=188

He doesnt have a Sprint Hero to test with so he needs our help.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] auto_exec:
fixed!

The developer has released a new "pre-version" of Wireless Tether that works on the stock Sprint HTC Hero ROM (with root access, obviously)! As per user capnbry, "..the problem is that the gprs table has a default route on it, and it has a higher priority than main, which is where the wireless route goes. If you `ip route delete table gprs` after starting android.tether everything works like a charm." The developer has added this step into the program, and it works!

See the thread for details, or download the new "pre-version" here: http://android-wifi-tether.googlecode.com/files/wireless_tether_1_61-pre1_htc.apk

You do know that there are over 20 android phones slated to come out in the next 6-8 months, right? The hero isnt unique anyway. We've had hero roms running on the G1 since before the hero even had a US release.

[G1 General] AdrianK:
Yeah I'm not really a fan of Sense UI, it has a couple of cool widgets but it's such a resource hog. Even if I had a Hero with the extra RAM I'd still use the regular launcher, but that's just me.
[G1 General] brian_v3ntura:
well sense ui is very visually appealing and adds function compared to phones running regular android. why keep sense ui only on hero...its htcs own custom ui so they should be able to do what they want.

plus the hero will just end up being a dud...a prototype for sense ui and see where they can improve upon..just like the g1...and the extra ram really does help with speed and multitasking.

and besides companies custom UIs is only included on phone without the 'with google" branding..(sprint hero is an exception)

Dude, seriously...
[G1 General] xManMythLegend:
Why do you care ?

Frankly I want to see Android do well. Why do I care if other Android phones get anothers UI ? All I care about is handset makers putting top grade hardware for these things.

In a forum much dedicated to importing UIs and Apps from other phones pretty damn ignorant to get upset about this.

they arent clones...tattoo has 1.6

[G1 General] brummiesteven:
Sense is pretty much HTC's version or "Branch" of android much like Ubuntu is to

Debian (although not as different).

All HTC Phones with sense offer something different.

The Hero is an "All Rounder" (At the moment)

The Tattoo is a low cost budget phone with customisation aimed at the "less geeky" market.

The next "Major Release" they release with Sense UI will probably have the next version of Sense running on a 2.0 backbone and with a larger screen similar to the HD2.
[G1 General] Ssantos6981:
did you guys forget, the UI is freaking great! Why wouldn't they put it on every phone if so many G1 owners are struggling for a decent version. I want that cliq tho...
[G1 General] AdrianK:
Eh, I'm not really a fan. I found that I was just using the widgets for the hell of it. Don't need mail or SMS, music widget always lags, twitter one would never refresh ect. The only widgets I really like are global search, power control, music and flip clock. All of which you can get on 1.6+. I also love Advanced Launcher, which has faunctionality that TouchFlo doesn't. Not to mention it's a friggin' resource hog. So yeah, I'd rather have more RAM available to keep my phone running faster, even if it did have he extra RAM the Hero and 32 A Magic have.
[G1 General] Boonyard:
I totally agree, I honestly don't know why people want sense so much, its just not very good in my opinion. You get very few usable upgrades in a trade off with it being much slower, I really don't see the point?:confused:

I'm due an upgrade soon and think I might get a hero, but if I do i'll probably root it and put a 2.0 stock based rom on it rather than sense!:D
[G1 General] Anartic:
To be honest, I only wanted sense for the widgets and the music app. That was about it, other than that, I could care less about the UI. At the growth rate of android I'm sure custom UIs will be a thing of the past sooner or later.
