Tried this with my 4 GB SD card and even tho I chose the correct drive letter of P: when I clicked "Refresh" the only choice not greyed out, it reverted to letter F:. This could be dangerous if I just tried to click to quickly.

However it was not dangerous and the "Fix" button was still greyed out. I am using Windows 7.

Not sure why it did not work but I deleted it from my system since it could prove hazardous if Fix button were to light up and I clicked without checking to see if the correct drive letter was picked.

Did I miss something?

Repair incorrect size of sd card

It did not work for me as I mentioned in another post, so I did some searching and found out the problem. See below.

I discovered the problem. The Autonooter used to change my Nook Color into an android tablet formatted the SD card as Fat16. So I simply used Easeus Partition manager [free when I last checked] and DELETED the partitions which were incorrect. Then I CREATED a partition using Fat32 which gave me my 4 Gb card back.

Konichiwa all!

Great site for Android n00bs like myself. :)

Getting a HT-03a very soon; Docomo phone here in Japan.

Wary of potential incompatibility using the unlimited data plan on Docomo with a custom ROM installed. So, I wanted to do a complete backup of the ROM before I go tinkering.

Though there's lots of info about how to get recovery image on the device, a lot of them involve downgrading or flashing spl's.

Is there anyway to get a backup image of the phone's factory ROM before I start this voyage into roms and mods?

Hey All,

I just bought a Zii Egg.

http://www.zii.com/Developer/SDKProducts.aspx

Incase you don't know, it's a new mediaplayer that is running Android OS and Zii's own Plaszma.

I'm not sure if any development has started on it, or how to root it, and I need some help.

Thanks.

What's up everyone?

(Mods, not sure if this goes in Rom Development or Software... I thought software... I could be wrong!)

Well I was looking at the massive development that has been made on porting Android to the Kaiser, and I started thinking, if HARet is a linux bootloader, would there be a way to use it to load a bootable copy of backtrack or the like?

Sorry if this is a ridiculous question... I'm not a computer engineer, nor a marginally intelligent monkey for that matter, so I thought someone with some knowledge could shed some light?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Well, you'd think it'd be possible if you somehow used a version made for ARM processor, but there are so many practical reasons that it wouldn't work well if at all. There's a reason that we're not all running Debian with gnome as our standard OS's, the hardware specs are simply too high, and so much work would need to be done to add drivers and get it booting. Even knoppix probably wouldn't work well. Plus, you can't really run a full desktop distro on a QVGA screen that's 2-3 inches across. In addition, Backtrack's whole purpose is for security and network penetration testing, and neither of those would work on a phone. You couldn't even get the WiFi chipset into monitor mode, let alone crack a network or inject packets. Even things like firefox would crawl at best. When you read this, you'll understand why the developers only port Linux distros optimized for embedded systems, like Maemo and Android; other ones simply aren't practical for use, and would be a waste of time to port. However, your question was a perfectly reasonable one (and you put it in the right section!)

If any developer would like to add further to this, they are more than welcome to.

hey guys.

i am stuck in a big problem here.

i used to play with the slider of xperia all the time and now i have ruined it. now whenever i slide my key board out, the display disapears leaving only the black screen behind. i went to a mobile shop and he said that its sliding strip is has stopped working and would be replaced. But the bad (or should i say the worst) thing is that the sliding strip for xperia is not available where i live. now i am very much sad because i loved my xperia very much. can any one tell me of any remedy to get out of this situation.

Hey folks...

I know, I know...too many random threads about the same questions...

I've searched and searched but I found a few programs that look like they do the same.

I brought an AT&T Tilt 2. I love the TF3D and I'm looking to download a quick program that allows me to use the phone in landscape or portrait when ever I feel in any menu or screen.

I've found a few choices:

Project Pulse - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=588476

Gyrator - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550973

Change Screen - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550973

I'm not sure which version is best or right for me...

To be honest...I dont' even know what version of Manilla I have...or what it is just yet.

I'm also looking for a way to remove a few of the standard programs AT&T added to this phone. When my phone is idle and I'm not touching it...it's operating at 70%. It's hurting the performance of the phone and I'm looking to lower the percentage.

I know you guys are probably going to screen: LOCK...but I've honesly searched a ton for answers.

Thank you much,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Manila is TouchFLO 3D aka HTC Sense aka TF3D, the thing with the flippy clock and the different tabs. If you're rockin' the AT&T default ROM, then you definitely have Manila 2.1. Project Pulse is only useful for people using Manila 2.5, since it doesn't have landscape, unlike 2.1. Project Pulse essentially is a "hacked" landscape mode for a landscape lacking Manila 2.5.

I personally use Changescreen, since it is compatible with almost any program and supports Manila. Apparently, Gyrator will work with regular programs, but won't properly rotate Manila into landscape mode. The only thing you need to remember is to remove "Manila" from the Changescreen exceptions tab, or otherwise it won't work when rotating Manila on the homescreen.

Though I haven't done any of this myself (since I'm not on the AT&T ROM anymore), there's an XDA-Wiki article (here) which details which files and registry keys should be deleted. Hope that clarifies things for you
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pimp4cheddar:
Ahhh... I see...

So the only folks with Manilla 2.5 are those with flashed ROM's...since Manilla 2.1 is on the stock ROM?

I guess I will be downloading Changescreen and playing around with it.

I still have no idea how to remove the programs that came on the phone. I saw the link you posted...but it doesn't say how to access that screen. Do I simply plug my laptop via usb cord go through the files?

If I have to do this via computer...do I simply "delete" the files/folders?

Thanks again,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
You can do it from a computer, but it's a lot easier to use File Explorer Mobile (included on your device) and navigate to the listed file locations and delete the files and folders.

For the registry entries, you can use CERegEdit (from the computer while the device is connected via USB), and there are tons of registry editors for exclusive use on the device (no computer needed). I personally use Dotfred's free multipurpose task manager for that, but there are other free options besides that, like PHM Regedit.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] pimp4cheddar:
Thanks Dave...

I just saw that I can access all of those files with File Explorer (neat little program).

-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have 1 more question now:

On the XDA/WIKI for each program there are only 2 files. Example is below:

Glu Diner Dash 2

Files

\Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 (1.5mb)

\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\Diner Dash 2.lnk

------------------------------------------------------------------

Am I deleting both of those files in those two locations? Or can I just go into \Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 and delete the entire folder?

When I use File Explorer, I see about 6 files in that folder...not just one.

Thanks,
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
You'd want to delete the whole "Diner Dash 2" folder, since you don't want that program, then you'd want to browse to \Windows\Start Menu\ and delete the appropriate .lnk file associated with the program. This will pretty much remove the program from the device, and deleting the .lnk will remove it from the start menu.

I was messing with my phone and just looking thru stuff and I noticed my phone is NOT on Rev.A with Sprint. My girlfriend has the moment and hers is on RevA. Mine is on Rev.0

And I checked the download speeds and mine is slower and were sitting right next to each other. Any idea why?

I have all updates.

[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:

[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
haha Alright thnks guys.

[Hero CDMA General] prodigy2m:
Rev. 0 trick

I don't think it is. Mine says the same thing, and I get slower speeds than people are posting. I am located in Brooklyn, NY and work in New York, NY and neither get A.

I think that's their lame excuse for not serving everyone at same speed not to overwhelm the tower bandwidth. The problem is that only certain people are suffering with this issue, I would say half of users. So figure, "the most reliable 3G network" trick.

Any comments on that, maybe developers, or maybe Sprint technicians.
[Hero CDMA General] bwshockley:
MY Sprint Hero says: "CDMA - EvDo rev. A" I have seen it bounce to rev. 0 sometimes when I have week signal or I'm roaming, I just placed it under my desk and watched it roll to rev. 0, it does it real time. On top the desk now, it's back to rev. A.

I have applied all the OTA updates from Sprint. I did the "Firmware update", "Update profile", and "Update PRL". After that, I rooted the phone using adb on a Mac. Otherwise, that's all the changes I've done. Also, I am located in Mesa, AZ.

Rev. 0 trick

Mine says identical thing but it's always Rev. 0 , I've never seen A. ever. And I refreshed everything and once called Sprint for that. No one wants to do anything.
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Exactly what I was thinking, the second I saw the "glitch" wasn't fixed in the newest update. I live in a heavy Rev. A area and I have done speed comparisons against a Pre, and my Hero (which displays Rev.0) is always the slower of the two. I'm thinking the first couple thousand units that were produced, really are only capable of Rev. 0 speeds. HTC just didn't catch the error until just before they started producing the Google-branded phones. I'd love to be absolutely wrong, so maybe someone can inspect the hardware/software to see what's truly going on here. If this is the case though, Sprint needs to let all of us swap phones.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
YAY FOR REV A!!

[Hero CDMA General] Deleted member 884763:
I doubt it's a visual glitch.

After a clean wipe and a flash to MoDaCo's I'm still displaying REV.0

Others that started with REV.A and clean wiped still have REV.A

I would think that everyone that flashed MoDaCo's would be one or the other. So it must be in the radio no?
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
Yeah. Anyone called and *****ed to Sprint yet? Were paying for revA speeds we should be getting them.
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Sprint already knows about this because it was one of the very first issues ever reported for the phone on day one. The admins on the Sprint forum also communicated the "glitch" to the proper people and then HTC said it would be fixed in the maintenance release. The question is how do we go about getting them to admit to this issue (if it truly exists) after they've already denied it?
[Hero CDMA General] azr6:
Mine always says rev 0. Never seen it say rev A...either before or after the update.
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
Goto sprint store Ann havethem run a speedtest and see its not rev A speeds.
[Hero CDMA General] kellybrf:
i have a pre-release retail unit (complete with no google branding) and after the update mine says rev a. if it didnt support rev a then that would mean it had different hardware, which just isnt believable
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
I have no google branding as well and I'm on Rev0 still. and I updated everything.
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Agreed. I know an actual hardware change would be nearly impossible, but that doesn't change the fact that many of these phones still only display either 1xRTT or Rev. 0 in the status menu and have speeds that reflect those connection types. Maybe the network is just under high strain in my area, but I don't understand why another phone beside mine would get consistent 2Mbps download speeds versus my 400-700 Kbps.
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
yeah,

It has to be something else. I have yet to see mine bump over to revA. In any areas to say the least. And like I said my girlfriend has the moment and shes on A, so the area is not an issue.
[Hero CDMA General] yellowbean:
I didn't really think it was an actual problem, I just got 1.68Mbps down on speedtest.net from my home which seems decent. But I guess revA is theoretically capable of 3Mbps? I'm wondering what we should realistically be expecting.
[Hero CDMA General] zaquaz:
I have one Hero, no google branding, shows Rev.0. Friends, sitting 2 inches away from it, has google branding, shows rev.a. Both same software versions. :(
[Hero CDMA General] prodigy2m:
Mine has no google branding and only shows Rev. 0 in NYC or outside. And speeds never go over 1 Mbps, usually it's about 400-700Kbps.
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
yep max speeds i have gotten is 900
[Hero CDMA General] wandrerx:

I am new to all of this but my phone was manufactured on Nov.4, 2009. It is branded with google on the back but states it is CDMA-1xRTT. It doesn't state either O or A revision.:confused:
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
WandererX,

is yours branded? whtas the manfu. date?
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
I actually fixed this "bug" tonight and wanted to release it in fresh rom. However I found out that because it's literally THE core framework file that has to be edited, it will invalidate every single file on the phone. And the work required to get that going again is just not worth changing a 0 to an A.

For what it's worth.... the typo is in:

/system/framework/framework.odex -> android -> net -> http -> HTCHttpIQAgent$cdma_type.smali -> line 89.

Now that I know I can't do it... I'm going to bed. lol
[Hero CDMA General] wandrerx:
As I stated earlier mine has the "with Google" branding. It was manufactured 9/28/2009
[Hero CDMA General] 06ms6:
I've had both versions of the phone (swapped first one out due to dust under screen). My first one had the Rev.0 giltch, new one shows Rev.A.

Speeds are the same. Easy way to tell is to look at upload speeds; Rev.0 has a cap of about 100kbps (barely over 10 KB/sec). If you're getting faster than that then you are on Rev.A.
[Hero CDMA General] mroneeyedboh:
what is a good speed test?
[Hero CDMA General] 06ms6:
Download the speedtest.net app
[Hero CDMA General] imb951:
I just installed the speedtest.net app and ran four consecutive tests. My phone is from the Oct 9 best buy launch and is HTC branded, not "with Google." It has always displayed Rev0.

Tested in my downtown Atlanta apartment and the best of the four back to back tests was 397kbps down and 435kbps up.

Pretty sure I'm on RevA, but still annoyed that the MR didn't fix the bug. Thanks Flipz for finding the source of the bug, I agree that it's not worth fixing.

2.1 is right around the corner anyways.
[Hero CDMA General] buck2202:
HTC branded rev.0 bug here, and my last speed test from an area with decent service was 1184kbps down, 784kbps up.

Download isn't great, but upload is definitely rev.A speed.

Sprint's explanation that "there's only so much space in an OTA update" is crappy, but I don't think they're lying to us.
[Hero CDMA General] wandrerx:
For all the DC peeps, I'm getting 1147kbps down 770kbps up on speedtest(which I admit didn't know there was an app for till this thread :P).

*Edit*

That was from the first run.

After running a few times I've found that it fluctuates between 1000-1800kbps download speed and up speed somewhere between 400-900kbps

Hello everybody.

I can see on several threads on several forums that some of us encounter problems with the GPS, while other do not ... I'm in the first category :( : I never saw my HERO getting its fix in 10 seconds, its GPS is very very long to get a fix (when it gets it). Changing the Radio ROM does not change anything, etc.

So my question is the following :

Would it be possible that some series of HERO utilize GPS hardware which does not work properly, while other series utilize another hardware ?

How would it be possible to determine which GPS hardware is actually in my device ?

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
AFAIK the Hero does not have AGPS. Mine certainly does not need it - I get a fix within 10 seconds or so compared with often waiting for 5 or 10 minutes on my previous Win Mobile phone that had AGPS.

I understand that the GPS can be made to be always on in the background with the Hero - but you need to turn that function on. Have you tried home>menu>settings>location and make sure the Enable GPS satellites box is ticked?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] princedwi:
I just recieved my Telus Hero, and I saw that it defaulted to AGPS initially when I went to Google Maps, and in the device's settings, you can activate its on-board gps as well. I'd suggest toggling back and forth, and hopefully you can get a faster fix, I know AGPS will help with getting ephemeris data and thus allow faster lock-ons when you use a gps application.

I hope this helps!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peterc10:
I am not sure it defaults to A-GPS. If you have the "enable GPS satellite" box ticked (see my previous post) then it defaults to using GPS as the method to plot your position rather than using the mobile phone signal, but that is not the same as A-GPS.

A-GPS is (AFAIK) a Win Mobile programme that automatically looked up the ephemiris data (using the phone's data connection) and updated it in your GPS at regular intervals (mine used to do it once a week). This was useful if you only used a programme that required the use of the GPS occasionally, and so were not picking up the updated info from the satellites themselves.

However AFIAK A-GPS is not included in the Hero, at least not the GSM version. It is certainly not mentioned in the specs or the manual, and, unlike my previous WM6 phone, I have never had a pop-up reminder that it is about to collect the data.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
sorry to tell you this, but you are totally wrong: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGPS

and the hero has a-gps, when i fire up my google maps it knows my position with an error of about 400 to 2000 metres (usually the position is pretty good, for only network-based location), when i fire up the gps it knows its exact position within a few seconds (when i am outside of buildings of course)
