[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weees:
Hi,

So I have been facing this problem for the past 2 month, my SD Card has been getting corrupted alot lately. ONLY EXT partition though, the FAT partition remains intact. I never faced this problem back when I was using JF 1.5 (Long back) This only started happening a while after I started using AOSP 1.6 (With Expansion). Later on I flashed ADP 1.6 , I thought it might be something to do with that ROM. But unfortunatly I was faced with the same result. It happened just 10 min. ago . My phone was working absoloutely fine, I had received a call and then 20 min. later I wanted to grab an app from the market and my phone just completely Froze........I knew it had ****ed up. It restarted Automatically and as usual all Apps are gone as a result of the corruption.

Sometimes, repairing the parition from the recovery console solves the issue, but thats only SOMETIMES. mostly I have to restore the backup from BART or NANDROID . (Which also never restores right away, but after wiping everything on the phone first !!!!!!!! :S)

Please help me out if you have ANY idea whats causing this!

Thanks.

i suggest backing up what you can.. then.. try a fresh start by formation the sdcard and repartationing and before install all your apps back.. try a few out and see if get the same thing.. if then it may be time for a new sdcard
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weees:
Thanks for the suggestion mate....but I have formatted the card all the way back to RAW mode and repartitioned it again and did a fresh install of everything.........same result. Its not app related. If it was , it would have happened the same time I run that specific application, but it just happens randomly. A new SD Card is the only other possible reason. I will buy one and try :S

Thanks anyway for your help.

I have a few questions

1. I cant get my FB or other push websites to update. They are

set to update every 4hrs.

2.How do I change from text selection to touch flo/finger

scrolling.

3. I am having a hard time rearranging items in say the touch

flo bottom of the screen menu,or the programs quick launch menu
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] BeEazy10:
Um is your phone running the stock rom or a tweaked rom?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] InRBigness:
are you using your phone with its intended carrier. IE: does your Rom match your carrier? If not the proxies are probably set wrong.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] vilasman:
I am using a straight out of the box sprint phone on sprints network. I am now seeing that sometimes stuff updates and sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it looks like it goes back to a previous state after having updated.

Also... bluetooth power usage. Can I just assume that battery life will be crappy if I leave bluetooth on all the time?

I drive around now with a power inverter under my passenger seat in the car because I think the wall charger charges the phone faster than the cig adapter and because i can snatch the adapter out of the car and plug it into the wall where ever I happen to be.

Will the 2150mAh battery make a significant difference usage of the phone with the bluetooth on? There are times that I can take a fully charged phone off the charger at 8am and talk some on my hr commute to work and have an essentially shot battery by 10:30-11 am. I work in Washington DC which has a mandatory bluetooth use law. It would seem that I could actually kill the phone battery on one hr or so long phone call if the bluetooth didn't die first. I have a callpod dragon blue tooth.

I'd rather drag a charger around than have a huge battery on the phone.

Has anyone used the TP2 with wifi router? When I had my TP wifi router would drain the battery faster than i could charge it even with the wall charger. Can I change this by using a bigger battery or by using a high powered but still safe battery charger?

Prefer to replace w/ almost any other color but prefer blue. Have seen some TP1 highlight cabs that overwrite the manilas but don't believe they work with the TP2. Anyone got a simple fix?

edit: Using a 2.1 weather manila now, Win6.5 if it matters but don't believe it does?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] jsmith8858:
Pick one of the many EnergyROM options in the "ROM Development" thread, and flash it; there's lots of nice blue highlights everywhere, no green to be found (even on the dialer, comm manager, etc). Plus, it's a good ROM and there's so many options (wm 6.5.x or 6.5, Sense 2.5 or 2.1 or just titanium, etc) you're bound to find something that works for you.

sorry at work right now and dont have the link handy but over on PPCgeeks there is a thread titled green be gone. I believe that will do what you are looking for.
[HTC Excalibur] Captainkb1222:
Hello,

I have WM6.1 I would like to run some sort of clock plug-in for my phone. I have installed the retro clock plug-in, and I can't get it to work. I am not even sure where I installed the .cab file. I ran the cab file in my phone from the file explorer. Should I run the .cab file from another place on my phone? Or does somebody else have a better clock that works on a dash phone with wm6.1?

Thanks,

Captain
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcdisciple:
....now in the notification bar i get this message, "Damaged SD card" you may have to reformat it".

Is there a work around for this? Can't backup to pc because when i plug in the usb cable i'm not given the option to mount. Only the triangle w/ the exclamation point comes up, that says "USB debugging connected".

Besides reformatting the card, is there anything i can do on the phone itself to correct this problem?

Thanks in advance.

:cool:

I never unmount anything b4 pulling the usb cable. Never happened anything!! The only time i had to unmount a device was on a pc of someone who had a very old or broken version of xp. There, any new data disappeared after pulling the usb-stick out.

Really weird ...

But, if u have another card OR you can use the partion fix of amon ra's recovery, or am i wrong???
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wcdisciple:
Tried to repair/fix ext using Amon Ra. Didn't try "partition fix". May have to try that.

THE REASON THE CABLE GOT PULLED IN THE FIRST PLACE...RUNNING TO A MEETING AND JUST SNATCHED IT OUT. REALIZED LATER THAT IT WAS MOUNTED

. :eek: AND I never never never ever do that. Except when i was working on a friend's old computer. :D

[G1 Android Development] Cybrasty:
I was wondering if anyone could create a service that will cache the html behind an rss for true offline news reading.

The idea was brought up on BeyondPod Google group.

For people who work or live in poor reception area this would be a life saver. It could be used by browsers for “read later” as well as all the rss readers to cache the contents for offline reading. Probably developers would find many uses for that.

Is it possible that one of devs over here would start an app like that?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
For some reason my Weather Widget doesnt update itself that often. Like earlier this morning it said it was clear, but with the moon, yet it was sunny out...LOL Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] omeganot:
Does it ever update? If not, check your Location settings. If it does, then sometimes you just have to wait for the connection. I've seen it take a while to get the update sometimes, but eventually if you're sitting on the home screen it should update if location settings are on and you have a data connection.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] flipzmode:
I was running totally stock last night. It told me it was sunny and clear and it was night time. It seems to be having issues.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] VinceOB:
Yea location is on. I just thought it was weird that its not updating all the time.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] themyst:
My HTC weather widget updates very sporadically throughout the day, however it does work.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] tbaker077:
Email HTC about this. The more people who tell them about it, the greater the chance we will see updates and fixes coming out.

If you have a 'task manager' installed make sure it's not stopping these updating functions by default.

3500mah extended life battery for sprint hero on pre-order now, ships 12/24/09

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bacy35hhrs-bk.htm

discuss

I swear by these guys for all my accessories and batteries, going on 4 phones now. Very satisified customer.

edit2: 09/23/09- email from seidio stating it is NOT compatible with the holster listed below

edit: and says it's compatible with holster, agian, very satisfied buy.

http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/d-hlhhrsas.htm

This is by far my favorite of the 3 holsters I've previously owned for various phones by the same company. Phone sits very secure with no fear of falling out at all.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Nanan00:
Interesting, the price is a bit steep but not too high.

I would like to see some higher res pics from a few angles to get a better idea of what the case cover looks like.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] gqukyo:
I have the holster but how do you know the extended battery fits the holster? From the single photo of the battery cover, it looks like the top sticks out as much as the area below the camera... :confused:
[Hero CDMA Accessories] johnsongrantr:
- Made from the highest quality Japanese cells

- Comes with a black replacement door featuring Seidio's signature soft touch coating

- Adds only 3-4mm to your device

- Keeps your phone charged and ready to go, even with heavy phone and data usage

- Compatible with our Holsters and Innodocks

- Capacity: 3500mAh
[Hero CDMA Accessories] saintirish:
How long do we have to wait for a more reasonable price on these?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] gqukyo:
Yes I did see that though from the photo it does not look like that's the case. Do you really think it's compatible from that photo? I've had the extended battery for the Storm and the holster worked fine because the battery cover did not extend on the upper portion where the camera is. Guess we'll have to wait for someone to actually dive in but in the meantime I'm sticking to what I can tell from that photo on their site.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] derynhaze:
Reasonable price? depends on what you think is reasonable. You do realize that without either the battery or the phone, the other is pretty worthless. I think it's a great price considering crap motorola batteries are $30
[Hero CDMA Accessories] johnsongrantr:
got this from seidio, just an fyi, they must be talking about different holsters or the listing might just be plain incorrect.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
I ordered this, and its been shipped already and I am awaiting arrival. I also have the innocase and holster combo, and while I know the innocase wont fit, I will try the holster and report back if that one works.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] skanndelus:
any idea which case will work?

:/
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mhoepfin:
I got mine today. Huge battery :)

The replacement cover is ok, although I am afraid it will accidentally slide off in my pocket.

Overall, the added bulk really doesn't make a huge difference, in fact it makes it a little easier to hold.

Can't wait to see what the battery life on this sucker is like.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
I got mine today too. I also like the added bulk. It fits my Seidio holster, even though the innocase that I got with the holster wont fit. Made of the same material as the innocase so its hard to scuff etc. I'll report back after a few cycles to let people know what I'm getting usage wise out of it.

UPDATE:

Well, it came off the charger at 3:30pm today saying 100%. I have been hammering it mercilessly for 6 hours now. Streaming Pandora for six hours straight, Turned on GPS, set all of my social network notifications to the quickest pull intervals, and my mail also. I have had the web browser open for nearly three hours, had three calls of around 20 minutes each, and my awake time since I pulled the battery off the charger is 100%. I am sitting at 75% right now. I am trying to get the battery low so I can get a full charge for the next cycle, but this damn thing won't go down. I guess I'll try to download a game or something and play it while listening to Pandora. This thing is a beast....
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mhoepfin:
This is a beast. Used it all evening last night, and the power meter did not budge.

Also the new back makes the Hero much easier to hold.

Waiting for a day in the office where I have a weak signal to see how it does there. I'm guessing this thing will make it through a day or two no matter what I throw at it.

By far the best accessory...
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Sottilde:
Awesome, guys, glad to hear this thing is the real deal. I'm thinking about getting one but I'm waiting for the price to go down. Anyone know if they usually do? Last extended battery I bought was only $7, this one is pretty steep.

I found a better deal but not in stock ATM:

http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=25424
[Hero CDMA Accessories] skanndelus:
sounds great. can't wait to buy one, but i'm waiting to find out which case is compatible. i'm not picky, can be a leather pouch, any suggestions?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Vertig0:
$70 is waay too much for a battery... dang!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] dmc971989:
anyone know of any silicone cases availible that will fit over this bad boy?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Thomas1218:
Could someone post some close up pics?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] johnsongrantr:
watch out for these kinda deals, i'm fairly certain seidio's waranty doesn't transfer to 3rd party sellers completely.

I had purchased a battery from seidio previously that was DoA, and after a conversation with their RMA department getting my invoice number and all that, they said they will replace bad batteries from anywhere but since I purchased through seidio directly they would send me a replacement without having to send the old one back first (or at all, they just said to pitch it). The battery that was sent to me was tested with a full power cycle before being over-nighted to my door.

I don't know, it's something to think about. If I'm getting a quality piece of gear, and the service to back it. I don't mind throwing out an extra little bit.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
I'm on my second charge. The phone has been off the charger since 12pm on Sunday. I am sitting at 70% on Monday at 2pm. I'm really liking the usage I am getting out of this. I did not beat on it too much yesterday, just a lot of normal use. I figure at this rate, I will have to charge it every three or so days. I'm hoping it improves after a few cycles, even though I've only charged it twice so far. I'm going to run it down to 30% or so before the next charge....who knows when that will be lol.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mhoepfin:
After a full day, the phone went back on the charger last night at 80% lol. Normally it would have been at 10-20%.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] nick325i:
Awesome! I think i'm going to get one right away.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] khaag27:
Im interested in seeing pics if anyone could.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] skanndelus:
if anyone is interested, seido DOES NOT sell any protection/case compatible with this battery... really sucks...!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] saintirish:
This one is now in stock. Still debating on pulling the trigger though.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
Mine is on the second charge still, its been off the charger since Sunday at 1:30pm I believe. I am currently sitting at 48% more than two days later. I'm going to get it down to ~30% before I charge it fully. This thing is a bear, I need to get one of those programs that drains the battery or something lol. Worth every penny.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] skanndelus:
yeah it sounds great but i don't think i'm willing to trade protection for power... yeah the battery lasts forever but if i drop it i'm going to cry haha
[Hero CDMA Accessories] dennistpm:
I debated...and pulled the trigger anyways. Got it from MobileCity for $60.94 shipped. How do they have it cheaper than Seidio themselves? They can't be refurbs. cuz they're too new. Not that I'm complaining.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] tyrnight:
Found good Pictures

Found Pictures On another forum.. Im still waiting on mine..

http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/28081-finally.html#post218197
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
Just hope that you get a good one! I've heard Seidio does not honor warranty for products sold through third party resellers, etc. Extra ten bucks with free shipping from Seidio was worth the piece of mind, to me anyway. :)
[Hero CDMA Accessories] dennistpm:
Here's Seidio's Warranty:

"Return and Warranty Information

All Seidio products are warranted against defective materials or workmanship for 180 days from date of purchase*. The buyer must provide the original receipt or proof of purchase for any warranty claim.

- If you are an end user and product was purchased from seidioonline.com, please fill out an RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) request form here: RMA Request Form

- If you are an end user and product was purchased from an authorized reseller of Seidio products, please send an email with a copy of your original receipt or proof of purchase to our Warranty Department at wsrma@seidio.com."

I'm sure mobilecity is an authorized dealer. How else could they have the product so soon?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] willowmp:
So to anyone who has the battery installed, how is the back panel.

Really that is the only thing preventing me from jumping on the battery aside from the price. Although I might be able to justify the purchase.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] mhoepfin:
Back panel is fine. Gives the phone a little more girth, which in my opinion makes it a little nicer to use. Only thing I have seen is on a couple occasions it has slid off a little in my pocket, which also happened sometimes with the stock battery cover too.

It's nice. If you are on the fence about the battery and know you need the power, it's a no brainer decision.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ElAguila:
So if we got the innocase and holster combo, we can still use the holster with this battery? Those that have this battery, I was wondering, do you leave your mobile connection turned on throughout the day? I was curious as what kind of life you would get out of the battery if you left the mobile internet connection on all day.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] intx:
i leave the mobile connection on all the time with my standard battery and never have issues making it through the day.

That being said, I received this MONSTER today.

GPS on, bluetooh on, wifi on, streaming data w/ pdanet, pandora, wave blazer on pause, full brightness, everything I can do to kill it so I can condition it.

Been on for about 1 hour 30 minutes, I started at 55% and it just literally now dropped to 52%.

EDIT: for those considering ordering from mobilecityonline, do it. I ordered Wednesday around 11PM and received it today.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ElAguila:
I just ordered one. Should be here this week.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ElAguila:
Are you referring to the Innocase holster that comes with the Innocase II and Innocase Holster combo or is the the Spring-Clip Holster for use with non-cased phone device? Since you said it fit I want to make sure that I don't get the wrong one.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ElAguila:
How is the battery doing so far? Also can you post a link to the holster that you are using that you said works with the battery?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] tyrnight:
Battery is awesome. I can't kill this thing. I used it 16 hours straight and only used 20 percent under constant use. I am using.it every 5 minutes for text and email and browser. Heavy use
[Hero CDMA Accessories] brock1909:
just got mine today, seems like the back might be a problem coming off in pocket and stuff...ugh

will change that baby up tonight and see where it gets me!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] tyrnight:
Same issue here.. it just doesn't snap tightly enough on to the device. Some days its fine.. others, it wont stay on at all
[Hero CDMA Accessories] brock1909:
thats going to drive me insane, it was a reason i hated the diamond, the back came off all the time. hmm....how can we secure it better?!!?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] crunchybutternut:
Duct Tape.. fixes everything
[Hero CDMA Accessories] brock1909:
lol now that would look great on the phone!
[Hero CDMA Accessories] khaag27:
How long do i charge it before using. Its saying 99% and its been on for an hour. Do I drain it first??
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
Charge it for 8 hours before your first use. Ignore the initial indicator, its wrong. Seidio suggests that you discharge it fully after first charge. Normal battery conditioning rules seem to apply.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ultivegito2:
What happens if you didn't fully discharge it after first charge? Is the damage irreversible?
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
You wont damage it at all.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] ElAguila:
Does the hero have a problem correctly reporting large batteries. I have installed my new seidio 3500 battery. It has been charging for 8 hours and it is at 97%. When I use spare parts or the battery widget, it reports the battery has being 4116mv.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] Semantics:
New batteries take conditioning. The Hero reports the battery just fine. Seidio recommends charging it for at least 8 hours. Once you cycle it once or twice, it will report fine, and it will charge to full very quickly, thereafter.
[Hero CDMA Accessories] khaag27:
Thanks for the charging info everyone. Battery is awesome so far
[Hero CDMA Accessories] saintirish:
Not as impressed

I purchased this battery from mobilecityonline. I got it in yesterday (they waited 6 days from the day I ordered before they shipped it . . . there is no excuse for such slow service).

I immediately started it charging and removed it from the charger at 100% (green light) around 5pm yesterday. I wanted to see how long it would take to completely kill the battery. It died just a few minutes ago at 12:30pm (less than 20 hours). I was really trying to use all the features to make it do that, but that is certainly not the experience of others I don't think. Others seem to have gotten that thing to last much longer . . . even with heavy use. I was hoping for better than that, but I guess it'll have to do.

Should I have left it charging for longer even though it had a green light?

Should my experience improve as the battery "conditions"?
