[Hero, G2 Touch General] GearX:
i hab a dead pixel on the first day after i bought it. But i went to the T-Mobile shop immediatly and they changed my hero with a new one without any problems! With my "second" Hero i dont have any Problems till now. Seems like there are 2 generations of displays!

*edit*

my dead pixel was near the upper left corner and it was totally white. actually you could only see it if the rest of the screen was red or black. but as it was a mistake i changed my hero anyway!

Hi guys, strange problem here. I have flashed many rom's and no problem till now. I have allways used mtty before flashing. Now my device has freezed, soft reset - freeze again, hard reset - freeze on align screen. Mtty again, flashed stock rom, hard reset - freeze on align screen. Tried everything and nothing worked. It would'nt go any further from align screen. It's driving me crazy! Please help me, some advices would be thruly apreciated. thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] lyonzy:
I had an old iPaq which had some sort of rom hardware error and would give errors because of that. Have a look at the errors when you use mtty (assuming you format with the 'task 29' command), there's usually some, but if there's something that looks a bit out of place it might be a physical issue. Also, make sure you're taping the align screen firmly, and if all else fails, just leave it for a few hours on that screen, it may just be taking ages to start up :)

EDIT: maybe there's a limit to how many times a rom can be flashed? can anyone help us out here?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
ok so i basically went 2 days with no charge on my TP

first day i used it and it held the charge of 100%, while i was at school i send a couple of sms messages and checked my phone every 30 mins to an hour and it still shows full charge then at the end of school(7 hours) i started using SMS again and it went down to 99%, it started to drop every time i text someone or just browse my phone, then it stopped at 92% for at least an hour then as i recieved twitter and weather updates it never moved then when i shut off data connection, everytime i check my phone battery keeps dropping constantly until 85% then it was stuck

at the end of the day my battery was at 75%, woke up 6 hours later and it was at 69%

on day 2 i started to use my music player for like one song which was about 6 mins with screen off, battery dropped from 69% to 56%

used opera browser on EDGE(since its got the best reception in the area) used it for at least 30 mins and it dropped from 56% to 32%

does this show my battery is not calibrated?? is it time to get a new battery?? or is this a normal behavior??

plz help

btw i was on EDGE Network the whole 2 days

and info is on my signature
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Beeble:
Its not ideal, and letting it have a couple of full charge/discharge cycles might help it read slightly more consistantly. But other than that its doesnt seem too abnormal for a battery discharge. I guess its not showing you a linear discharge as you are spiking the load for a short(ish) period of time, then allowing the battery to basically rest between "hits".

As for a new battery - you got 2 days usage out of it, so unless these days were unusually light usage, i wouldnt worry about a new battery.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ren4e:
I think it's normal, i use wifi and music player allot so i charge it everyday just to be sure i have enough, internet is really eating battery. even if only updating still takes much. i figured out that if u r not using those 2 functions battery keeps full MUCH longer.

Anyone know how to create a Call history shortcut on android? It would be nice if the long press send button went strait to call history.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tazz9690:
If you just press and release the call/send/green button it goes straight to the call history. Isn't that a short cut in itself?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Ive been having a problem with my MT3G for awhile now where it will randomly drop txt messages. It mostly happens when Im already in a chat window, or when Im recieving multiple texts at the same time, but the symptoms are that Ill get the notification, and the preview of the text in the task bar as normal, but when I open the texting app, they arent there. Sometimes if I leave a text marked NEW, it will get erased when the next text from the same contact comes in.

This has started to happen much more frequently to the point where I feel its unusable.

Ive replaced the SIM card, limited my phone to 2G only, and turned off data roaming like was suggested in other threads/ forums, but it still doesnt help. The T Mobile tech support said they could send me a new phone, but I dont want a refurb when this seems like a software issue, not a hardware one.

This issue has presented itself on 1.5 Hero ROMs, 1.6 Cyanogen and Amon_Ra ROMs. I wasnt on the stock ROM long enough to remember this ever happening, and I dont have the problem with my unlocked iPhone.

Ive been through Data Wipes, full reinstalls of all apps, fixed permissions, fixed UID mismatches, removed all non stock messaging apps/ popup notifiers, etc.

Thoughts?

Hi :)

I'm trying to change the default sms notification icon with another of my choice but i don't manage to find in wich dll this icon is saved.

The sms icon used to be in the outres.192.dll with the blackstone themes but i'm unable to find the corresponding icon in this file (see the picture below)

Does anyone have the answer of this horrible question ?

Thanks for your great help,

Best,

Is there any way to turn my cell phone into an auto dialer?

Somehow have maybe an excel file loaded with names and numbers (scrubbed against a do not call list)

Plug that list into the dialer and the cell keeps dialing numbers.

When someone picks up a screen pops up either on a pc or the phone that displays the persons name and phone number with the ability to write notes.

After the call maybe hit a button and the process picks up where it left off.

I know a ton of people who would pay for something like this.

Hi all !

How do I know if my phone has 850 band for 3G ?

Got a unbranded version ! with frontal cam ( NO FUZE )

My ROM has the option , but... is there some kind of place to look if my hardware accepts 850 freq ... ? Or maybe and application that shows what I want to know ...

Thanks for any help !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] XERO_Racer:
sorry mate but if u got the GSM euro TP ure out of luck, its the hardware thats lacking the 850 band compare to FUZE

if youre crazy enough, u can find a FUZE that has at least a broken LCD screen for CHEAP and just swap the motherboard and hardware into the GSM one...thats my take if u want to get 3G but keep the looks of the beautiful GSM Touch pro

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recurring:
Hi everyone,

I'm new to android and I might have commited a homicide against my phone. I had RA132 recovery installed then updated the software with Lox's 2.1 hero test rom. My Radio upgraded to that one from Eclair. Today, I tried to use root application to get root access on my phone and it ended up badly. I was at step where you download image and spl files, it said ok and I rebooted the phone in RAv132 recovery mode. I used flash update.zip option and then phone said 'flashing/writing hboot complete', I tried to reboot it but it froze for a second then shut down and never came back. I've tried various methods to boot into recovery or fastboot but the PC doesn't recognize it with either adb or fastboot. I can't even get into the initial hero logo screen, the phone is just dead for good. Is there any chance I can revive my hero? Should I talk to HTC customer support maybe? I've searched many forums and pages and (unfortunately) didn't find anyone who had unbricked their phones.

Thanks for prompts answers :)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] KimidoriSakana:
My compass is messed up. (I.E. Points in the wrong direction, jerks around when I rotate it) I can fix it temporarily by waving the phone around in a figure 8 pattern, but this only lasts for the current instance of an app.

I've had these problems after I installed MoDaCo's custom rom. (Though I am now running fresh 5d.)

Is there any way to make this fix "stick"? (Or is there some other more permanent solution?)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] x99percent:
Did you calibrate the G-Sensor?

It's hidden under "Settings", "Sound & display"... all the way at the bottom.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] poor_red_neck:
I'm having the same issue, except mine was happening before I was root and before Modaco...

Hard resetting it would restore the compass to normal for a few days, then it would go fishy again.

Its doing it now with root and modaco 1.2c unofficial...

I'm really confused. Haven't heard other people complain, but not alot of people use their compass.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] poor_red_neck:
The accelerometer is completely different from the compass.

The digital compass (magnetometer) measures the earth's magnetic field, while the "g sensor" (or accelerometer) measures gravitational pulls on different axis.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] x99percent:
Wow! Thank you, Captain Obvious!

I mention the G-sensor calibration because I had an issue with a compass-related program that did not work properly until I calibrated the g-sensor. If he tries it and it works, great... if not, no big loss.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] poor_red_neck:
YOU'RE WELCOME, DOUCHEBAG.

How the hell am I supposed to know what your intelligence level is. You're not the only one reading posts. Someone else may find that information relevant or helpful.

BACK ON SUBJECT.

So I tried my compass again and after shaking it it was still messing up. For ****s and giggles I tapped the corner on my desk a few good times. Not hard, but solid smacks and voila... it works now. Weird.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Such Hostility!

Not sure why tapping would have worked, the magentic sensor has no moving parts as far as I have been able to read on them. Don't live at the north pole do you?:D

You should try to install the Metal Detector app and see if it gives you issues, it uses the same sensor and maybe its a hardware issue. Given it is not the most accurate as far as detection, but it does really work if you put a piece of metal right behind the phone.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] atoy74:
Watch out with those belt holsters with magnetic locks. Those will screw up your compass fast. Not sure if thats your situation but just FYI.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Kcarpenter:
Very good point, I hadn't though about that, especially since there is no telling really where that sensor lives on the board, and they are usually pretty strong little magnets in the holsters
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] KimidoriSakana:
Well... I tried recalibrating the g-sensor for kicks, but that didn't help. I've never used a magnetic holster, so I don't think that's it...

Any other ideas?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
Does compass work in Google Maps????

I have see the commercials and youtube videos..

that show in google maps...

in street view...

you can move the phone around and up and down...

the street view.. will change according to your orientation

so if the Hero has a Compass

and we have google maps

why don't this feature work for me?

Or.. does this mean my Sprint Hero.. does not support this function at this time???

FYI...

Brand new hero (got it on 12/30/09)

Rooted

[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] maejrep:
It has to be enabled in Maps first. And you have to be in street view mode (obviously :X)
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
obviously....

so.. i am taking you have a sprint hero.. and it works in street view...

you can spin around with your phone.. and the view changes respectively????

I have looked.. and can not find any place that lets me enable this feature... inside google maps. :confused:
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] markachee:
My compass was acting similarly a while back. Not sure when it changed, but now that I have rooted and installed Fresh, it's working fine. Strange.

Load Google Maps.

Long Press a spot on the map.

After the address loads, touch the info bubble.

Touch Street view.

Press the Menu Button.

Touch Compass mode.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] Dan330:
thanks !!!! found it.. works great now..

[Hero CDMA General] Darth Pooh:
I am running Fresh's rom (but this issue popped up out of nowhere recently, running fresh for a while and this wasn't an issue prior) and have the MR in there.

So, when I get a @ gmail notification, the phone does a lock up... finally comes back but with no data and it can't be turned back on. I have to do a reset in order for it to work again. Has anyone had a similar issue?
[Hero CDMA General] flipzmode:
I haven't had that happen, but I would try clearing the app data for gmail and seeing if that resolves it.

Settings < Applications < Manage Applications < Gmail

Settings < Applications < Manage Applications < Gmail Storage

Under each one click Clear Data and Clear Cache (might not be able to do each on both, just click any buttons that are active)

Reboot and try. If that doesn't do it then try clearing your cache. My apps installer in my sig has a utility to do it automatically.
[Hero CDMA General] Darth Pooh:
Will do... I was about to do those, but I wanted to get community feedback on those issues since its a good way to identify problems for each other if it happened down the line to anyone else.
[Hero CDMA General] Darth Pooh:
Clear Data was only available for the both of them...

After doing the cache clear via your app installer proggie... the device still does a freeze (seems like a reloading of the Sense UI, all buttons are unresponsive as well). No service for a little bit, then it comes back... and I am then locked out of anything data related since EV does not come back.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Are you running an optimized rom? Sounds like rosie is going nuts.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutuz1000and1:
I updated my phone to Android 1.6 (It only just appeared today for me) and now the stock google browser, as well as two ones I downloaded won't work at all.

The stock google one freezes then crashes, the other two reset my phone.

I'm not going to Cyanogen until I can afford a 8Gb/16Gb SDCard, unless its easy to put my swap, etc stuff on the new SD Card. What can I do to fix it?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robkoehler:
So no root? Try to clear the data and cache for the browser first. If that doesn't work, it's probably time to wipe.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nephron:
u dont need a large mem stick for cyanogen mod. I mean it will make it faster and all but its not required. I suggest u wipe as in do a Factory reset and see if that helps. I would do a nandroid backup first just to save all ur apps and seetings.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brutuz1000and1:
It's more that I'd rather have the SD Card at the size I want in the first place rather than having to partition this one, etc, then partition a new one later on and hope it works without screwing my phone up as happened to a friend of mine.

Seems to have fixed itself, although I can't download apps off Marketplace, I can live with that.

One thing though, I have a build number of "DRD20" and when I go to flash the DREAMING.NBH file (I tried a while back) I got a "Not Allow" error, what do I do if I try to flash it again?
[General Topics] justinmg:
I just thought I would post my final setup, after a long process!

I am typing this very message, across a remote desktop connection from my Touch HD, using a Freedom Keyboard, and a MoGo x54 mouse. I have also installed Blue Input.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] da9th_one:
It's strange that it is getting turned on by the magnetic case, but I'm not one to judge your TP2's sexual preference...

Seriously though, I keep my TP2 in my pocket, while in standby mode, and found that the back light would be lit upon removal, quite regularly...to alleviate this, I started locking the phone by pressing and holding the "hang up" button, then putting it into standby...

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] iclick:
Good tip, it works. I had the same problem with my case and another fix is to insert the TP2 in the case with the screen toward the inside--i.e., further away from the magnet. Mine was unlocking, turning the screen on, and shifting to horizontal when inserted with the screen facing out toward the magnet. I like the registry hack better, as that seems to nix the problem completely and I can now insert the unit in the case either way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
It's probably the magnet messing with the stylus sensor in the phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
It seems like whenever a thread on this issue gets pushed down a few pages in the list someone else starts a new thread on the same issue. :p

I wonder if this is in the Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc sticky thread. Or maybe in the "Got Mine" - Tell us your thoughts | Ask TP2 owners questions sticky thread. ..???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] UnusualSuspect:
Yep - the magnet thing and the '1:02 clock flip' thing as well.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MCbrian:
Yeah, I figured it must be...since even I have posted the fix to this magnet-wake-up issue more than once.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amanox:
Hi guys I got a question

I noticed recently for the first time that my Xperia has started using "Edge" networks ie. whenever I m in an area of relatively weak reception (that is pretty much the whole of London with this handset) the phone goes from "G" to "E" - which it never used to do befor (I ve had my xperia for a year now).

Just to clarify what I m taling about. You know how your reception strength is shown to u in bars and a letter eg. H - 4 bars, 3G - 4 Bars, G - 4 bars .. mine shows me now in areas of weak reception whenever I try to use the internet E - 2 / 3 bars.

What does it mean and how did this happen? The only reason why I m a bit worried is because the only time I ve seen this E come up before was when I was abroad. So I m worried about extra charges.

I m with Vodafone UK on Contract.

Thank you
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hannigan174:
The letter indicates type of network you are connected to:

H = HSDPA (Highest speed 3G or 3.5G)

3G (or U) = UMTS ("Standard" 3G)

E = EDGE (Higher speed GPRS or 2.5G)

G= GPRS ("Standard" 2G)

If you are experiencing a drop from H or 3G to E don't worry about it, it just means that it cannot connect to any 3G towers. I have it occur on occasion, usually when I am in more remote areas. It also occurs when the local towers are having issues or they are upgrading service.

Don't worry about additional fees, unless you are roaming. Just check that you are still using your home network. If so, no sweat.

Also, going from G to E is an improvement. G is the worst type of data transmission.

Sometimes wallpaper isn't great with softkey and taskbar. So, maybe a solution, my solution...

* Use "PureBlack2.tsk" on this forum and place it in windows. Install my folder thème in main memory/my document (you don't have 2 folders Thèmes, just one). Place the second folder "softkeys and taskbar" where you want.

* Go to start/settings/today. You must see "pureBlack2", so install it. And softreset.

* Now, if you want change softkey and taskbar, open the folder "softkey and taskbar", choose one, open folder, select all inside, copy and paste in main memory/my documents/thème/pureBlack. Replace :yes. and softreset, it's ok
