I was selling my Xperia X1 on ebay and they have removed it because I am selling it with TomTom on it.

How come tomtom have a go at ebay for me selling a phone with tomtom on it but they havent said anything here where you can download the tomtom program for free?

I am not selling the phone with any maps just the tomtom program. I didnt mention this in the auction, maybe i should have to please tomtoms eagle eye
[Hero CDMA General] Vampyre777:
Ive been reading post after post after post and im confused as all hell.

All I want to do is be able to take a image of my phone once I have everything setup and take new images about once a week in case the phone is ever replaced. I want to be able to get all my ringtone associations apps and app settings like the settings from my k-9 setup etc... phone settings EVERYTHING. I understand the mybackpro and sprite will not do this detailed of a backup. So thats what lead me here.

I have the sprint hero. I have already updated to the newest OTA firmware.

I would like step by step what i need to do. Here is what i think is the correct way from my searches. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG.

1. download ruu from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=586258 insatll htc sync and run ruu and follow directions. That should bring the phone back to the stock image. Unless I can root from the new OTA firmware which I dont know. Someone lmk if I can.

2. Root the phone following this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291 or this link http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/18/how-to-root-your-sprint-hero-in-one-click/ or this link http://theunlockr.com/2009/11/07/how-to-root-your-cdma-htc-hero-sprint-verizon/ Which link is best to follow?

3. I setup my phone then turn off then home key power will get to the green menu with nandroid backup as a option. Run that and I have a image of EVERYTHING on my phone?

One last ? Can I ever update to the latest firmware or am I stuck with the stock firmware.

Thank you for your time.
[Hero CDMA General] scirio:
It looks like you have answered your whole question. Yes, you have the process down to a science.

About which links to follow:

Folow the first link to root your phone. That's a thorough, easy to follow, minutes-to-root, fool-proof method. :) It also contains the download links and everything you need to do EXACTLY what you want.

So yeah,

1. RUU to stock

2. Root by following guide

3. Home/Power and select Make Nandroid Backup

4. (if you want) install rom like fresh .4 (most stable release) that includes the Sprint MR (maintenance release) and application tweaks etc.
[Hero CDMA General] Vampyre777:
Thank you for your response. Though I had it but wanted to make sure :-)

Can I do the OTA update after I have rooted and made my backup? Will this cause any issues with the root or the backup?

also does fresh .4 use the htc sense ui? Ive come to really like that compared to my buddies droid UI.
[Hero CDMA General] jmanley69:
Actually, if all you want to do is take a nandroid backup, there's no reason to root your phone at all.

Just install the latest flashrec here

Get the Amon-Ra recovery image for the Hero here

Install flashrec, run flashrec, BACKUP RECOVERY IMAGE, then apply the Amon-Ra recovery image.

Now, you can boot to recovery and do a nandroid backup.

If you want to apply the Sprint update, you must restore your backup recovery image (see above in bold) before the update will apply. Once you've rebooted a few times with the Sprint update, you can then apply the Amon-Ra recovery image again (no need to re-backup the recovery image). Reboot into recovery and you can make a nandroid backup.

While it's true that the first link you provided will indeed give you the recovery image to be able to do a nandroid backup, if that is all you want to do, there's really no reason to go through all the steps of rooting your phone (this may change in the future if flashrec stops working with an update from Sprint/HTC - we may even be forced to do a goldcard method at some point in the future if they do something like they did to the gsm Android phones).
[Hero CDMA General] deadonarivalry:
So, how do I install flashrec and "apply" the Amon-Ra recovery image? Sorry, but I just got my first Android phone this morning. LOL! And I want to explore all possibilities of what my new toy can do. But I'm not quite sure how to do either of those things.
[Hero CDMA General] Rungsat1:
You Can Root the New O.T.A. Update manually only.

I have a Sprint Hero and to get the OTA Update I had to get the Original RUU file and install it. Then I did the OTA update but the key thing is Amon Ra image and flashrec WILL NOT WORK.

What Does work is:

1. From the home Screen Go to Settings>Applications>Development Check your USB Debugging Mode and Stay awake boxes

(This is just getting set up to use the Android SDK. Im sorry for all the experience folks Im just going step by step for thoroughness)

2) From the Desktop Computer Get to your command prompt and Follow the steps Below:

3. Open the Command Prompt and type the following (hitting enter at the end of every line):

cd\

cd AndroidSDK\Tools\

adb devices

And make sure your phones’s serial number pops up (if not redo section I).

4. Then type:

adb push asroot2 /data/local/

adb shell chmod 0755 /data/local/asroot2

adb shell

/data/local/asroot2 /system/bin/sh

5. Then type:

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

cd /system/bin

cat sh > su

chmod 4775 su

Thats It..After you get the message "ENJOY THE SHELL and get the # sign, IF YOU ENTER EVERYTHING CORRECTLY EXACTLY WHAT YOU TYPED WELL SHOWS UP BELOW WHERE YOU TYPED IT!!)

ROOT USER Programs seem to work but the (PowerButton/ Home Button pressing combination still hangs at "HTC") which is where somehow the Green menu screen is supposed to be. And the NANDROID Backup is supposed to be. If anyone knows how to get this to work or to prevent the Hero from hanging please let us know.
[HD2 General] p3eps:
This one is driving me nuts!

On my HD I had a message tone called ICR_BEEPBEEP - which I liked for SMS etc. I couldn't see it on the HD2, so I copied it off onto my memory card.

I then placed it in Windows\Rings (where all the other alarm tones are) and it appeared. Today I notice my SMS tone changed to something else by itself. When I went to change it back to ICR_BEEPBEEP, it wouldn't appear on the list.

I checked in the folder, and the file was there - but it had a different icon. I realised this was because it was a .WAV instead of a .WMA. I then copied it off to my PC, and using Soundforge, re-made it to a .WMA and copied it back to the Rings folder - but I can't get it to show up in the list I can have for messages. I can however get it to show up in the RingTones list.

How do I get it to message alerts?!?!
[HD2 General] Hokum:
I have a similar issue, with an added WMA not appearing in my new message list.
[HD2 General] piflechien:
Place your file in \Windows not in \Windows\Rings
[HD2 General] Hokum:
That's done it.
[HD2 General] p3eps:
Perfect - works great. Many thanks!
[Imagio General] simon3:
Playing about in the registry I found an entry titled "Available RAM on boot" and wondered what it was. I have noticed that the value is pretty darn close to my available RAM on startup and the number (in the registry) never changes.

Exact location "HKCU\Performance" -- my value is 103538688. I think this number is in bytes. I boot with available RAM @ 95mb-100 mb

Would changing this make more RAM available?
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
I love my HD2 but the a2dp is awful....it uses the widcomm stack I understand?

I have put a linespeed reg setting for 256 in but it's still crap.

If I'm in my car listening to music, it still occasionally skips and the quality is extremely poor. Also, when I have GPS running at the same time, for some reason, the instructions are really crackly sounding over the music. It actually hurts to hear them....

How can I make this right??
[HD2 General] 20mihalko:
i`m using it without problem... only thing is built-in music player... it skips sometimes
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
music and GPS simultaneously thru A2DP?
[HD2 General] aBE-One:
You may try setting the line speed to 320. I've been running at this from the beginning, since that's what I also used with my TP2. Though I wouldn't expect it to make a world of a difference, but why not? :) I'm quite happy with the audio quality at the moment, though it may not be exactly as good as with my TP2 (or maybe I just remember wrong). I'm using Nokia BH-214 BT-stereo receiver (BT 2.1 + EDR) with Sennheiser CX400-II.

Unfortunately I've no experience with simultaneous GPS and A2DP music on my HD2, but I think I recall from my TP2 that the quality was not too great.
[HD2 General] Gajet:
I found a huge improvement when I turned the WiFi off
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
Cheers aBE-One. I tried 320 and it started skipping again!??! 256 seems the most stable, but it has this really strange thing that... the sound quality is fine, then it may skip half way thru a song and it's as if the mp3 has gone from 320Kb's to 96Kb's. I have to reset the phone.

Gajet, I never use WiFi! :(

Surely this phone can stream A2DP to a decent quality and more than a single audio stream. My old Omnia did it perfectly without any changes needed. Pooh :( Any other ideas?
[HD2 General] glenner05:
i also have the bluetooth problem. where do i have to add the linespeed setting in the registry?
[HD2 General] purnelld:
Yeah me too. Skips like mad. Also it wont sync via bluetooth to my laptop. Spent 4 hours trying to get it working.

I have even updated the firmware on my parrott car kit.

Rang O2 today and may send the phone back as without A2DP working, the phone is practically useless for me.

There must be a tweak somewhere!!
[HD2 General] purnelld:
Oh and also, I can no longer send contacts to my parrott kit.

My Orbit 2 did it automatically.

YOu would think they would take these things into consideration!
[HD2 General] Appelsap:
I have upped the LineSpeed to 320 as well, it gave me better results than the 256. For those who don't know where to put it:

HKLM / Software / WIDCOMM / Plugin / AV

Make a Dword value called 'LineSpeed' and give it a dec value somewhere between 64 and 512. The higher the value, the better the quality, but the player can start skipping or acting weird. I found 512 to be too high.

I also had a skipping problem, the player would intermittently skip a beat (or two) in a song, more so above 320. I then did the Wireless enable n-speed hack, and now everything is fine, although wifi is turned off. Strange, but it works for me. Again, for those unfamiliar:

HKLM / Comm / BCMSDDHD1 / Parms --> change 11nModeDisable setting to 0

Now the A2DP sound quality is fine (it was terrible before the LineSpeed setting), and it doesn't skip. I have a Parrot MK6100 btw. Syncs with the phone just fine too.
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
Oooh I haven't tried this hack yet. I'll give this a go! I wonder if there's a way to up the amount of simultaneous audio streams? Perhaps that's why when I listen to music and have GPS, the instructions are very crackly but the music is okay....:confused:
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
No - still nothing :( Any other ideas?
[HD2 General] f1rick:
The crackly sounds are copilots fault, their sound files are just too loud. I normalised them all in audacity and now they are fine. I've attached the emily ones, they go into the:

storage card/copilot/speech/en-gb/emily/

you should probably backup your existing files. A2dp music and speech then works perfect!

edit: I also volume levelled all my music files when syncing using mediamonkey, it helped a lot. (I keep all my music in lossless)
[HD2 General] jonboyuk:
Ahhhhhhhhh you beauty! Actually I noticed that when I turned down the volume in igo slightly, it worked fine.

I like Emily, I'm using yours and it's brilliant. Co-pilot should have independent volume control like tomtom/igo....grrr

Thanks so much :)
[HD2 General] Too Tall:
I'm new to registry editing, can you please explain this further to me?

Thanks!:)

Nevermind, I got it right

Just right click, new Dword, simple.....
[HD2 General] Too Tall:
When I try changing 11nModeDisable to 0 it just says Access is denied.....

Nevermind, forgot to unlock registry, sorry for messing up the thread

Anyway, changing it made the sound quality alot better ;)
[HD2 General] SmokeyXL:

Fan Tas Tic!!!! thank you very much for your advices your settings work on my HD2 like a charm I'm so glad!!! No more skippings no more trouble I quite befenit from my Motorola HT820.
[HD2 General] zappomax:
H! Hope this treath is not abandoned...

I set my HD2 has U've suggested but with linespeed value setting at 320, no audio at all from my Motorola S705. At 256 pretty sound but lot of skips. At 240 seems stable but quality is not so good.

How it's possibile? U've a HD2 too.

Plz help...
[HD2 General] OndraSter:
There is one more thing, for the skipping - disabling handsfree profile for your phones might help too (helped for me a bit - using Nokia BH-503 headset for a year now). And when incoming call comes, you just click on headphones on pick up button and they auto-reconnect to device (at least for me).

[General Topics] Robson:
good day!

i just came back from a business trip to hong kong. while there i, of course, went around and chanced upon a second hand htc diamond pro (the diamond with the keyboard). it didn't come with the accessories but only the unit itself. i figured it might be bogus so i inserted my roaming sim card and it worked fine. i then made a stopover in singapore and kl...in which case the diamond worked fine.

upon returning to australia...the phone is blocked! as i tried making a call, it's saying that all calls made from the handset are not allowed. opinions are appreciated.

1) does this mean the unit is having problems "adapting" to the network in australia? i find this a little strange because my u1000 works fine here, in thailand, hong kong, etc. i originally bought my dopod in thailand btw.

2) i asked my network carrier about it (telstra) and the customer service officer believes that the phone was stolen IN australia. and thus the owner has then blacklisted it. great...just my luck that i buy a second hand phone in asia and find out that i'm actually returning it to where it was originally bought.

3) since i may not be able to use it in australia, i may as well give it to my bro who's based in singapore. or ask him to sell it when i'm in asia again.

cheers

HI

BTAudioNav does'nt work on my HD2 as it did on my cruise . Thanks
[HD2 General] graz100:
Same here. Believe (but I am not an expert) this is because LEO uses Widcomm BT stack instead of Microsoft's.

Other BT issue is volume of headset which cannot be controlled from device (i.e. changing volume in wmp or pocket player does not have any effect).

Definitely overall bluetooth experience with Leo is a huge disappointment (wonder if it is possible to replace stack with Microsoft one?)

Hi all,

Need some help here. I messed up my phone the other day. I was trying to root it. So I found some instruction on the internet and it told me that I needed to flash my phone with DREAIMG.NHB(think that's what it's called). Also should mention that my phone is a rogers htc dream. The flash worked and now my phone boots up as a t-mobile phone. I go through the Google sign in screen and I get this error message, There is a problem communicating with the Google Servers. This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care.

Any Idea's on how to this fixed?

[Hero, G2 Touch General] cyberkid2002:
Hi all,

I have had my HTC Hero for a little over 1 week now and feel compelled to write a small piece on how I am finding it.

As a bit of background I do not consider myself an expert on mobile phones and am not constantly swapping and changing every other week for the latest model. I generally upgrade my phone at the end of my contract every year for the latest model and have almost always felt disappointed a couple of days (or sometimes hours in) about how little mobile phones have moved on over the years (Nokia E71) or about how fiddly they are to use and how often they crash/need updating/need rebooting etc. (TyTnII).

In fact, I have not been as excited about a phone after a week since, well, ever! Everything about the handset just works.

The choice and selection of apps available is fantastic and are all so easily accessible via the Android market place that I am wondering how I ever coped without it before.

The interface is sooo slick and user-friendly with virtually no slow down that I have ever noticed. The ability to layout your homepage over 7 screens with links to all your most used functions without delving into menus has already saved me no end of time.

Compared with my previous WM phones this is soooo much more stable that I haven't even felt the need to play with additional ROMs.

Add on to that the soon-to-be-released Android 2.0 (hopefully with Google maps navigator) and I genuinely think that mobile phone OS's have come on more in the past 12 months than they have in the last 5 years.

The above isn't supposed to be a comprehensive review, and I realise their is nothing new their for the XDA regulars but thought I would post my feelings on the handset incase anyone stumbled upon these forums and wanted some first hand feedback.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lord Lucan:
Excellent overview. Modern phones like HTC and many others are micro computers with ability to make/recceive mobile calls and much more. I enisage that future updates will also have ability to make voice calls with GTalk etc.

One vital thing designers have lleft for future model is front camera for video calling. I experimented video call with sipdroid , worked well but almost nogood without a front camera.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Peter Franks:
Will any future updates allow calls to come through while browsing or emailing?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] AndyCr15:
Do they not at present?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] trick202:
I can certainly browse and make calls and email on my Hero - all at the same time. I believe every Android device on the market can do that - with the exception of the Moto Droid on VZW

Are you referring to the Moto Droid on Verizon in the US?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jmanley69:
I just wish somebody would write something for vBulletin to make it easier to navigate xda-developers forum from Android! :) <hint><hint>
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jh71:
I tested this myself, and calls do not come through while a data connection is ongoing with EDGE or GPRS connection.

The data connection drops if I have a high speed connection (3G) if a call comes through, to give priority to the call, as it should.

There is obviously no problem when connected over WIFI.

After some searches I learned that this is a 2G network problem. As Android is using the data link much more then my previous WiMo phone, it is something to consider. So if I expect an important phonecall, I close the Mobile Network connection.

Someone else who can clarify what is exactly going on ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Peter Franks:
Hmmmmmm. Now I'm confused. My calls are not coming through while data connecting. And my call waiting is not working property either. Either nothing or it works if you see it but not hear any bleeps.

I get several missed call alerts every day?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] barryallott:
Right people, b4 you all get into a hissy fit, this is a network thing not a hero thing. If the network is dealing with your data connection they will redirect the voice call. unfortunately that's how it is.. But then again, why would I want someone interrupting my redtube time....... ;)
