[Hero, G2 Touch General] jh71:
Yes, that confirms my observations, that this would be a shortcoming of how 2G networks are setup. This is not a fault of the Hero or the Android OS.

It is just that Android is using the data connection just much more intensively.

It would be the same for the iPhone, remember that many people complained about lost calls when it just came out ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Peter Franks:
The signal isn't brilliant, but on my old Moto workhorse phones, it's always full signal for the same network, side by side. The Hero does lack somewhat in signal quality. It's one of the pitfalls with this phone. The antennae isn't as strong as the old style phones.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Betty_Swallocks:
I have to agree with Cyberkid. I also only change my phone at the end of a contract so I don't keep terribly up to date with the latest happenings in the mobile phone world. However, I knew I wanted an Android phone (mainly for the Google Navigation) when my contract came up for renewal and the Hero was the only one on offer from Three UK.

This phone is amazing. I had a TyTNII last and while very whizzy and impressive at first glance the whole thing was just an excercise in frustration. Yes, you could do all sorts of stuff with it but everything was awkward or just plain difficult to do.

For example, in the 18 months I had it I never managed to get connected to a public wifi hotspot. It'd tell me it was connected but nothing would be accessible.

This just does it. Wifinder tells me what's available and just connects to it with no fuss at all. Everything else seems to be just as easy.

Yes, it does lag a bit sometimes, mainly as far as I can see because it keeps non running programs in memory. I know it's not supposed to make any difference but the phone speeds up noticeably if I kill the apps I'm not using.

The only other problem I've found is the camera which is truly atrocious. The delay between pressing the button and the picture actually being taken is such that it's pointless taking a picture of anything that is moving at all, even slowly. I tried taking a picture of my daughter the other day as she was walking across the room and she was out the door before the shutter clicked.

Hopefully the new 2.1 rom will do something towards fixing this.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Lennyuk:
2.1 (or indeed a lot of custom roms) do speed up the phone loads and the camera problem is gone too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cbailey:
Yes you are correct. 2.1 will make Betty's child walk more slowly.

Hey guys,

I'm trying to upgrade to the latest CM from an old CM version but I'm not sure if I have HTC's Android 1.6 Recovery. I'm still on a CM that is 1.5.. so I'm pretty sure I don't have it. But I just want to make sure so is there any way to check? Thanks.

I used to get that problem. Never really tracked it down. However I found the Hitchhiker app managed to make connections where other things failed. It is quite old now and can be a little buggy at times, but still if it gets the job done.

From memory it extracts to an EXE but one of those EXEs you run on the device (I think, it's been a while).

http://freewareppc.com/communication/hitchhiker.shtml

Just as an aside Hex codes always worked better than passphrases.

Hitchhiker works very well in WM2003, but not WM5 or WM6. The problem is not because of WM5, but how we handle Wi-Fi data from the device itself. We use Point-to-Point Message Queue to receive events from Wi-Fi manager of Windows Mobile devices.

***

Maybe not so good for 6.5?

They did talk of ver 2 getting done but that was 2008 and no sign on site

Still I'll google and see what I can find.

Might just try hpl update first which could allow me other options if I want to start clean for instance?

I recently sent my xperia in for repairs, and I got it back a few days ago. When I went into the tricolor screen the first thing I noticed was that my SPL version was .78, not the stock .72 that I see in the hard SPL thread.... I have tried on three different computers, and on all USB ports to use the hard SPL tool, but everytime I try, the phone shows the progress screen, but stays at 0% until I take out the battery and restart the phone, which causes one of the system files to become corrupt ( MXP panel process for example, and shell32 became corrupted). I Have no clue what to do now, can someone please help?

The following is the reply I got from HTC.

Thank you for choosing HTC the PDA maker to the world

Dear HTC customer,

With regards to your inquiry, kindly be informed that the PDA phone's OS language may not be changed according to our agreement with Microsoft. It is therefore, important that you specify your preferred OS language when you purchase your device.

However, if you would like to add any language to your device's OS, you can search the internet for a compatible 3rd party application compatible with your device's operating system to provide you with the requested language you are looking for.

I still wonder what is the 3rd party application they are referring to.

Any clue ?
[HD2 General] Xeon:
Shamless bump
[HD2 General] mr.vandalay:
i think they are just saying that you can install different apps like spb shell that will be in english... i dont think that they are refereeing to some kind of application that can translate the entire rom.

guess we have to wait for hardspl or until QMAT 5.07 and create a goldcard...
[HD2 General] Xeon:
The windows mobile arabizer can translate all the OS menus to Arabic language.

I am not sure why such thing is not yet available for English users. The cab is like 5MBs.
[Touch CDMA General] synaptyc:
Hey all,

First off, here is what i have installed:

I am using the latest adb2.zip drivers at: http://code.google.com/p/vogue-android/downloads/list

I have installed HTC Sync v2.0.8

I am running the following Android build: [Android] HeroBlend Themed Donut - New Build 11/17

I was able to get the Vogue to connect to HTC Sync one time and go trough the sync setup. The notification on the shade in android even changed to "Htc Sync" and had the correct icon.

Since then every time i connect to my PC i only get "USB debugging connected A computer is connected to your phone."

I get the same notice when connecting a wall charger.

Also... I duplicated the same experience on a separate computer.

It worked once... then never again.

Any tips?

ALSO... is there a browser program i can use to see the SD card in my Vogue when booted to Android? I though there was one when i used the first ADB program. Now any time i run the adb.exe from ADB.zip or ADB2.zip i just get a dos window that scrolls stuff the exits.

THNX AGAIN FOR THE HELP!

... just trying to understand how it all works ...

[HD2 General] amarko5:
i think i have found a bug in the music player

after a soft reset or first initialisation the following is available

in portrait mode you can scroll through the demo songs by album artwork vertically and play tracks till your hearts content BUT pause the track and go to landscape mode then click on an album cover and select the track on the left then go back to portrait and all you get is the one cover playing the selected track (you still with me ?)

now pause that track and you have lost the vertical scrolling mode until you do a soft or hard reset.

anyone else have this bug ???
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
If I understood you correctly, I don't think that's a bug.

The vertical and horizontal browsing modes are different.

Vertical (portrait) mode skips between the tracks that are currently in the 'now playing' list. If it contains tracks from multiple albums, you'll see the different covers of the tracks that are coming up.

Horizontal (landscape) mode flips between all the albums in your library. If you tap on an album, you see the tracks it contains; if you click one of those tracks, it starts playing. Your 'now playing' list then loads all the tracks of that one album and nothing more. Therefore, returning to portrait mode, you'll only be able to flip through the tracks of that one album.

Since the demo music typically has only one track per album, your 'now playing' list will consist of only one song. That's why vertical 'scrolling' seems to stop working: you can't scroll through a list that has only one item.

To put it simply: vertical 'scrolling' is like pushing the 'next' or 'previous track' button on your remote; horizontal 'scrolling' is like going through your cd collection to find something else to listen to.
[HD2 General] amarko5:
your answer seems logical

however every demo i have seen has showed the vertical scrolling of albums,

i was kinda hoping i was doing something daft as i quite like the vertical scrolling of album covers.

ohh well if its not a feature i have wasted some time uninstalling programs and resetting registry keys back to standard that i had altered, thinking one of these may have caused it in the first place ( DOH !)

ok will start again in earnest setting the device the way i like it :)
[HD2 General] Robrecht:
Well... if you load all your music into the 'now playing' list, you can kinda flip through albums track by track. Especially if each album has only one track like those sample songs. Just open your library, slide to the 'tracks' tab and tap on any song.
[HD2 General] NickT:

I've guessing you're trying to connect to a Microsoft Exchange server system (hopefully 2007/2010). I've had no problem doing so against my company system, I did get a certificate issue which I just ignored as I just assumed the device was trying and failing to do a CRL.

After talking with Rikupw (creator of the fine NewReco recovery, thanks again btw)

It seems like the NAND is buggered.. tore apart the logfiles and it shows 2-3 I/O errors while trying to write/erase the flash, as well as problems mounting/writing to CACHE: (Which explains why its missing files and I keep loosing my google apps)

The new recovery environment "works around" the issues by not using Cache but, I fear it may have to go back to HTC for repair since I doubt many are qualified to replace the NAND.
