Great job, I had also posted an open message in the General section ( a thread to ask open questions directly at mods). I added the section for kitchens, because although there's only one item, it is a very usefull one and kitchens will get busy as soon as we have the kernel. Great job community as I know lots of other people put in their request and contributed to the creation of this wiki :D
[Hero CDMA General] timmymarsh:
Only happy to help guys, its what this community is all about right?

As i said, any suggestions for future wiki pages, post in those two threads, im subscribed so i'll check in now and again.

I get the same thing happen to me, but only every now and then. I just stop typing for a second or two and then I can carry on. Not really a big deal, and there's nothing wrong with your phone :)
[HD2 General] schroedinger:
Thank you for posting the Link.

When i write a Text message i have it 2-3 times. Maybe i have to write only faster ;)

It seems like the touchscreen interupt for a time when i stop writing.

It's strange that not more people report about this.

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

I came across a project that modifies libwebcore.so so that it's able to connect and display Arabic letters properly. I downloaded the compiled libwebcore.so (Cupcake version) and downloaded Arabic fonts, then copied them over to my hero, rebooted, and the phone hang on the boot screen.

I restored the phone now and it works again, but obviously no Arabic for me. So just asking here; has anyone tried this here? Does it work? There are different versions of libwebcore.so (for 1.5, 1.6 and 2.0). Has anyone tried them? (I'm still on 1.5)

here's the project link: hxxp://code.google.com/p/arabicandroid

thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioluas:
If anyone is interested in this. The current cupcake version is the only one that doesn't work. Donut and Eclair versions work fine and CAN render Arabic text perfectly for all the apps the use the default browser. I haven't tested this myself yet, but other users have confirmed this to me on another forum.

So, currently downloading KaguDroid (thanks Lox), and will probably edit later to confirm.

EDIT:

Yup, works now :D

2nd EDIT:

Just found out the dev (Ayman Alsanad) who made this, has updated cupcake version with a fix. So, worth giving a try if you're still on 1.5. I'm not bothered to go back to MCR now, i only miss senseui in this awesome rom from Lox.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HishamN:
Hi,

I can confirm that libwebcore.so don't work with Hero because HTC UI sense.

So you have to choose HTC UI or Arabic in web browser.

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioluas:
I don't think it's got anything to do with HTC's SenseUI. The developer acknowledged that the previous build for 1.5 had a problem and he actually updated it. I can't test it right now, since I installed KaguDroid (Android 2.0), but really worth a shot if I was still on 1.5.

If I was you I'd give it a try. Here's a link to the updated libwebcore.so

hxxp://arabicandroid.googlecode.com/files/libwebcore.so.cupcake

Just rename it to libwebcore.so and push it to /system/lib on your Hero and also don't forget to push Arabic fonts to /system/fonts and reboot. Also, do a nandroid backup before, so that you can restore if it doesn't work.

Good luck
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HishamN:
Yes I tried it before and it's hang at Hero logo.

actually I tried all libwebcore.so versions (cupcake, donut and eclair) and same result hang at Hero logo, except if I use any ROM without HTC sense like KaguDroid and Hikaria ROMs.

If you have cupcake without HTC Sense it will work perfectly.

Regards
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ioluas:
Well, I tried it before and i had the same result (hang at boot screen), but since there's a fix update, I thought maybe you'd want to try it. The reason I say that is that it actually works for me now on Android 2.0 and the update was only posted yesterday.

Anyway, I'll have a chance to test it for my friend who has a Hero with MCR3.1 tomorrow. I'll post here if the update works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HishamN:
There is no update yesterday!

My HD2 has Traditional Chinese interface, but I don't know why the weather location is showing in English. I've tried deleting the city and re-adding it (the name of the city is showing in Chinese), but location is still in English.

Does anyone know how to change the settings? Thanks!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] tictac0566:
I think you could either edit the weather database file, or replace it with the same file taken from a Western WWE ROM (it´s inside the Windows folder, "2330fc3c_manila", the size is around 800k).

I used to do this when using a WWE ROM, but changing Manila´s language to my local language. This way, I had all the cities in my own language...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] htc12345:
Does making this change also change the weather description from WWE to locale?

Hello, Has anyone experienced this problem: Error Code Microp Error, Microp Version Mismatch, Please update latest microp firmware.

Im not a serious techie so if you can assist please use terms your Dad would understand. The symptoms after the error render the screen blank after it has gone/been put into sleep mode, and pressing the on/off key wont bring the screen back on, it requires a battery disconnect, and power up, but you only get one go, once it is in sleep mode. The phone will send and recieve calls/sms, so seems to function ok as a phone , if only I could see the buttons to answer/make calls!

This all started about 24 hours after downloading wm 6.5, worked fine for 24 hours, then, started to malfunction without any warning. So not sure if this is related or not. Have tried resetting phone and re-downloading wm 6.5 to see if the issue was here. Not fixed.

Can anyone assist please.

Thanks, John.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Wout2005:
Hello,

I had the same problems you describe. After contact with the shop where i bought my phone they decided to send it back to the factory. When i got my phone back the problems were solved. It had something to do with replacing some hardware...

As far as i know it is not a software problem..

Good luck!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] timyork:
I have the same problem on my Touch Pro 2. Unfortunately mine is not under warranty.

Someone over on the Diamond board has solved this by taking the phone apart and re-seating the graphics chip (or something)... however I'm concerned that taking the Touch Pro 2 apart (with the added complication of the slide out keyboard) will be a lot harder to do.

Anyone got any ideas?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DaveTheTytnIIGuy:
Somebody in the Rhodium Android subforum had problems booting Android, and the problem was related to the microp firmware. They fixed it by reflashing HardSPL, so maybe that will work. Take a look at the original thread, it's worth a shot.

Hi guys

Really love my HD2... Nice hardware, nice software (with help from cooks) etc. :D

I have one problem though... The music player!

Im one of those who LOVE music... And lots of it :)

The problem is related to how you navigate to artists etc... Its so slow! I mean its totally smooth, but the fact that you have to slide your finger for like 10 sec, to get to the bottom, (If you have a lot of music) is a pain... On the iPhone there is a "Letter-scrollbar", from where you can QUICKLY slide to the first letter of the artist you want to hear :)

There actually also is on the HD2!..... In the "all people" tab! EXATLY what I want is on the HD2, but in the wrong tab :D (Well its actually also kind of handy to have in the "all people" tab, so no complaints there :) )

My question/request is: Is it possible, for some hacker extraordinaire, to take the "letter-scrollbar" from the "all people" tab, and implant it in the Music Player. In the artists section preferably :)

Hope sombody can pull it off! :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pspbirte:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pspbirte:

[HD2 General] rebecker:
Can anyone tell me if the HD2 is compatible with 3G in Costa Rica? The USB stick that is used by the telephone company has the following specs:

HSDPA/UMTS 850/1900/2100MHz

EDGE/GPRS/GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

Thanks in advance.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] novaci:
In a word?

Yes.
[HD2 General] rebecker:
:) Can you explain what data tells you this? I'd like to understand 3G a little better.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Since this thread is somewhat-related to a question I've been having, I'll ask it here:

For UMTS compatibility, do the phone and network only have to share one band?

I ask because the Telstra HD2 (UMTS 850/2100) is coming out here in Australia -- where I'm holidaying -- on Tuesday. Back home -- in Canada -- my provider (Telus) uses UMTS 850/1900.

It's been suggested to me on these forums and told to me by a tech support representative for Telus (I have a hard time trusting them, however, because they're kind of dumb) that the phone'll work on 3G with just the 850 band in common with the network, but I want to be sure.

I've done some reading on Wikipedia [also], and that seems to encourage the idea that my phone'll work back in Canada...but again...I want to be sure...
[HD2 General] blueberet:
I tried doing research for you and I found out Costa Rican Electricity Institute (ICE) has contracted Huawei to build the network but unfortunatly you will need to find out that 3G frequency, could be 1900 or 2100.

The HD2 uses 2100. The USB Modem works in all frequencies so it would work everywhere.

All you need to do is find out the 3G frequency, perhaps give them a call.

From My experience travelling to Mexico, Guatemala, USA and Canada. All use 1900 3G (Except T-mobile USA uses 2100).

I haven't tried the T-mobile 2100 though so I cannot assure you if it in fact does work. I've only tried AT&T(USA), Telcel(MEX), Tigo(Guatemala) and Claro (Guatemala)

Chances are Costa Rica would fall in line with the rest of North America.

So only Edge works.

Wish you Luck!

-Sean
[HD2 General] rebecker:
OK, now I'm confused! :o It is my understanding that 3G is NOT available from T-Mobile USA using the current version of the HD2. If the HD2 uses 2100 AND T-Mobile uses the same, why is 3G not available on the HD2 in the US?

If 3G isn't available in Costa Rica because of the 1900/2100 issue, is Edge automatically available? Or could ICE simply ONLY offer 3G, with no Edge alternative?

Found on Wikipedia: List of UMTS networks ICECelular	Costa Rica	850

Thanks.

-Bob-
[HD2 General] Spike15:
I would really appreciate an answer on this one...
[HD2 General] Spike15:
What do I have to do for an answer here?
[HD2 General] maxiviera:
en costa rica no te va a funcionar, salvo que tu compañia utilice 3g umts2100, y por lo que vengo leyendo utiliza umts 850, o sea que no te va a funcionar...

algo similar me pasa a mi, yo estoy en uruguay con movistar y aqui el 3g es 850/1900, asi que mi querida hd2 no funciona en 3g, igualmente corre en EDGE sin ningun problema...

salu2!
[HD2 General] manicotti:
Telus, like AT&T in the States, puts 3G service on 850 MHz in some towns and on 1900 MHz in other places. Since the Testra version of the HD2 does support 850, you'll get 3G in Canada in markets where Telstra uses 850. If you travel to a Canadian city where they use 1900, your HD2 will fall back to EDGE.

So, you need to find out if Telus uses 850 in your home market before buying that Telstra phone. (By the way, JB HiFi has it for $829A now and Telstra will have it at that price on 1/19.) I can't help with where you can quickly find which frequencies are active in your area, but a friend back home may be a better source than a Telus rep. Good luck.
[HD2 General] rebecker:
Muchas gracias!

EDGE is fine with me.

(I apoligize for not replying in Spanish. Mi español es muy malo.)
[HD2 General] LordLugard:
First of all, T-Mobile USA's 3G freq is 1700mhz or AWS, which is why the T-Mobile version of the HD2 is coming out later. Europe's 3G is on the 2100MHZ freq. You can definitely import a Euro HD2 to the U.S and use it on GSM voice but data would only do EDGE either on T-Mobile USA or AT&T.

Concerning Costa Rica, i tried to look up ICE's network information and i found this on their website: http://www.grupoice.com/swf/kolbi/preguntas_frecuente.html#tecnologia_3g

Si tenés actualmente un teléfono móvil 3G, solamente podés acceder al Plan Kölbi Básico y al Plan Ejecutivo 1000. Para comprar del Plan Básico Kölbi, podés llevar cualquier terminal móvil 3G que funcione en la banda 850 Mhz.

Translated by Google it comes out to:

If you have a 3G mobile phone today, only you can access Kolbi Basic Plan and Executive Plan 1000. To purchase the Basic Plan Kolby, can carry any 3G mobile terminal operating in the 850 Mhz band.

So ICE has 3G on the 850mhz band it seems. Now the current HD2 only handles 3G on the 900/2100mhz, so you wouldn't get ICE's 3G on it.

Now, according to Phone Arena http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-HD2-US-phone-p_4345.html , T-Mobile USA's HD2 will handle 3G on the 2100/1700/900 MHz band and GSM/EDGE on the 850/900/1800/1900 mhz band. If ICE at least offers EDGE on the 850mhz band, then the U.S version would be the one to buy.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Thank-you for your reply...I hope you haven't flown off never to be seen again...

The problem here is that Telus and Bell in Canada are CDMA carriers. From what I understand, the EDGE fallback is GSM, so if there's no 850 UMTS service, my phone just doesn't get service.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Would like clarification on this if possible...
[HD2 General] fnuna:
What would happen if I buy the Australian unlocked version (Telstra's NextG with 850MHz 3G); will it work in the 3G in Costa Rica. And if I don't like the Telstra's ROM, can I flash it with the original HTC ROM desgned for Australia?
[HD2 General] manicotti:
I'm sorry for disappearing for several days...I forgot that I posted here.

Telus also runs an HSPA network. A quick look through their phones shows several models with HSPA, including the HTC Hero with HSPA on 850 and 1900 along with quad-band GSM. The Telstra HD2 (HTC T9193) has HSPA on 850 and 2100 along with quad-band GSM.

Call Telus and find out how wide-spread the HSPA network is. If it covers the areas where you go and if you live in a place that uses 850 for HSPA service, then the Telstra version of the HD2 will work for you. If you live in a 1900 area, you'll fall back to EDGE. If you live in a CMDA-only area, you'll have spent a lot money on a phone that can't make phone calls.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Okay, excellent.

This is what I was concerned about -- I wasn't sure about EDGE fallback because of the CDMA/UMTS issue.

Telus' UMTS coverage is actually larger than their CDMA coverage, so that aspect isn't a problem.

I'd already gone ahead and bought the phone...JB HiFi was having a hard time keeping them in stock.

Looking forward to getting this up-and-running in Canada (running on a Vodafone pre-paid SIM at the moment) on Saturday.
[HD2 General] manicotti:
Remember, if Telus is using only 1900 MHz for UMTS where you live, the HD2 will only pick up EDGE since it has no UMTS radio at 1900. If Telus runs both 850 and 1900 or just 850, you'll be very happy.
[HD2 General] lumpen_er1:
Only Edge.. hd2 has all bands option, i selected all but still no 3g or hsdpa

Hi, i'm from Venezuela,

I've just bought HD2 in Hong Kong. It is an unbranded unlocked phone. On Phone Settings i see the Band menu where i can select Network Type and Band Frecuency. i've selected GSM and GSM (1900 + 850), but hd2 only navigates on EDGE. i've also have tried selecting Auto on both Network and Band Selection, but still navigating on EDGE.

besides of HD2 i also have an Samsung Omnia bought from my cell operator (Movilnet), it is set to operate on 850 1900 mhz and it works fine on 3g and hsdpa.

my question is, if the hd2 has all bands that i could select, why it dosen't work on 3G or HSDPA.

could i flash my hd2 with other Firmware or ROM, to get 3G working? i've been reading about TELSTRA in Australia, and i think the hd2 they sell has 3G over 850 and/or 1900 mhz.

or, it wouldn't be possible to change Frequencies or 3G on hd2 bought from Hong Kong?

thanks.... i'll appreciate your....

:confused:
[HD2 General] band27:
The device does not come with all 3G bands and that is why devices that are sold in specific regions only work where bands are the same. Where the bands are different, they will not work.

Thus, if your device is not 3G compatible in your area, there is no firmware drivers that can help as this is to do with hardware components in the device. Getting the right device for your region is paramount.
[HD2 General] jpraider75:
For the TICOS!

For all the ticos and non-ticos living in Costa Rica, i just received my telstra HD2 and can confirm what we all knew....it works great with ICE´s 850 mhz 3G....with the stock telstra rom it picked up edge at first...but just had to change the bands from "auto" to "wcdma" and thats it the "H" appeared....I then used hspl and flashed Miri_HD2_WM65_21890_Sense25_V3.0 rom to get rid of all telstra stuff.....kept the stock radio....so far so good...speeds in the range of 600-700kbs....

I bought it from personal digital, they sent it on thursday 28-01-2010 and it arrived in Costa Rica tuesday 02-02-2010....paid about $115 in taxes plus another $41 to fedex for the paperwork to get it out of customs...about 90 mil colones....they delivered it to me yesterday...:)
[HD2 General] iarapilot:
Most likely, being a phone from HKG, it does not have the correct radio built in to receive 3G in Venezuela. I have the same phone. The 3G frequency that the phone uses is 900/2100. 3G in Venezuela, I believe, is 850/1900 like most of the Americas. Therefore, you will only get EDGE. I have confirmed this on my HD2 when I was in Valencia.
[HD2 General] fnuna:
I received mine but it stills drops the signal

I got it mine on 8-02 and is working with Artemis 3.7 Español. It drops the signal too. I'm going to chech the 24 issue in the next days.
