I confirmed an issue with dialer and contacts with 2 phone numbers. When I try to call such person from dialer I always get the second number on the list (I haven't tried contacts with 3 numbers because I don't have such, but I suppose it's the last number) no matter with number is set as primary. And the only way to call second number is to view contact and from this view make a call or to enter the beginning off proper phone number. This isn't anything serious, but it's annoying
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Just noticed that my phone seems to be picking up facebook updates (htc) even when my internet connection is off.

It only picks up one or two but not sure if they are just delayed from when my connection was on or if they are new.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
someone have problems with calling ?

My friend Call me and after 20 sec he told me "I don't hear you" its look like I'm teake my phone of my head strange don't have that problem on other ROM's
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Just want to say thanks again to Nathan. Nice and fast 3.0 version, working Chinese input/handwriting, can see the Navigation seems to be working.

Some minor problem encountered:

Occasionally htc.bgp thingy FC.

Security pattern lock not working correctly.

The startup sound is very loud (any tips to lower down vol)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I can't replicate the bgp thing. What radio are you using?

Security Pattern - I'm aware of, but I honestly don't think it's high on my priorities! :\

Startup sound; I completely agree. I preferred the Nexus Bootscreen, but the majority wanted the HTC one.

I'm going to revert back I think. Either that, or remove the sound on this one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Beta Wave 4 will be tomorrow now unfortunately. Another one of those situations where I need my phone on all evening, which means I can do a bit of dev work, but I can't test anything.

ROLL ON DEV HERO!!! (sooooooo... close!)

If I don't get the donations to buy it, I'll put the difference to next week anyway.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
i prefer this boot screen with no sound :) I only liked the other one because it didnt have no sound :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Here's ten more dollars, hope you make it asap!

Oh, and like the original bootscreen* best, but you can take out the sound as far as I'm concerned.

(*=why pretend to have a Nexus One by changing your bootscreen)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] instigator008:
Calendar Pad (calendar storage) crashes when adding new dates. Process com.htc.calendar.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Thanks for replying. I'm not sure what radio do u mean, is it this Baseband version 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 ?

I also vote for no sound regardless of which bootscreen used.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah baseband is what the radio is.

You have an older one there, try flashing the one Nathan recommended a few pages back
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Think I MAY have sussed the MMS problem.. will let you know when I can.

Working on Calendar next if I've sorted MMS.

Beta 4 will definitely not be today - simply too much to do. I'd rather give you a more stable Beta 4, which is closer to the stable release in a few days.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
If the Pattern Unlock isn't high on the priorities do you know of any way of disabling the double press of the menu key to unlock the phone?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
I think I found it, but it does not have any link to update. Sorry I'm quite new to this, if I upgrade the radio version, do I need to do a wipe or anything and what is the radio thingy used for?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Thats ok

Just flash it over the top of everything no wipe as it does not touch the rom.

When you do be prepared for a very long first boot though, don't worry if it takes 3-4 minutes.

It updates the radio file i.e. your network connected (3g gprs etc), BT and wifi capabilities.

You can find with new radio files that you have better signals and longer battery life and can also play nicer with newer os's e.g. Android 2.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
excellent! hopefully you have, this is the only real issue i have with the current version :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sphinxo:
Hi guys.

HTC just released 3 new phones at WMC. HTC Desire (A Nexus One with Sense), HTC HD Mini and HTC Legend, which is an updated version of the Hero. And it's running full Sense 2.1! :)

They also said we would get the 2.1 update very soon :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
great news
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
ooooooo sounds very good :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
By very soon, they mean mid-march. In reality, mid-march is very soon. It's less than 4 weeks away people!!!

So, here's my plan:

BETA 4 tomorrow.

3.0 Stable by the weekend.

3.1 the following week....

3.2 FINAL RELEASE once everything/majority of things sorted....

Then, we'll only have a couple of weeks to wait until I can get my hands on the real thing. Then it's a case of; HOW FAST can I make it! :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Thanks for the info, I found the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=563757 , will perform the update soon.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
If your phone reboots and you get the phone out of the box screen... leave it!!!

Don't be tempted to pull the battery.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Thanks for the info, I thought I have corrupted my phone :X

Update: Radio flash success, thanks Lennyuk and Nathan for the tips. Will continue monitor :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
Well, then i'm looking forward for the next beta tomorrow ;) Will stop refreshing the site today.. heh
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Just add me on Twitter. I'll post there just before I upload it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] satinder:
I too get this whenever the phone boots
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
Done ;) Now everytime sesmic plings either on my computer or my phone I will hope sooo much ;)

Can't be far away from your devhero now?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] satinder:
Exactly the same for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] spacecat:
Forget all this hero nonsense NP port these roms to the

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Hmm...this happened to my friend! see this video:

How to fix this?

Fastboot and recovery don´t work!

Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skedone:
just a quick question how do change the news and weather app buy google to uk one as it only displays american news and its one of my fav apps
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
The only real way I know of to brick a hero with the radio file is if you install the wrong type e.g. gsm to a non-gsm device etc.

What actually happened in your friends case?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wrameerez:
Some issues

Hi and thanks for this great ROM.

Here's a few issues I found:

After the alarm finishes ringing the phone hangs to the point of having to remove the battery to restart it.

Contact's pictures do not get updated from Facebook anymore.

Where is the tweeter widget?

Clicking on the camera icon of the gallery crashes it.

I'll report more later...

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] fabioccoelho:
Him flashed radio for gsm because him´ve a gsm hero. He says the phone power off on momment radio update in recovery mode.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] oueoue:
Have you noticed that you can pinch and zoom out on the home screen, and it shows the 7 home screens together, (they showed this feature in the presentation of the new HTC Desire today)

pretty cool...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] hinz:
Just tried it it and actually it's pretty good!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
Any info on the above 2 queries?

Also, how are you getting on with Gmail push?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yes been able to do this in every VillainRom certainly since 2.0
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sedinix:
Yo why Espresso-Optimized don't work on 3.0 ? :/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Hi,

I have no idea how to change the fact that you can unlock with the menu key - sorry :(

As for Gmail push, I'm still working on it.

It will not be fixed for Beta 4, but given the amount of free time I have from Friday - Tuesday, I'll give it everything I've got.

Great news (hopefully) Been a little bug bear of mine since day one. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
I have a possible bug report. Downloading apps through the Market is incredibly slow.

Browsing the Market is fine but when I select an app to download it sits on 'Starting Download" for about 15 minutes before actually downloading.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dr3as:
All the apps i download from marked says something about wrong certificate or something, and i cant get them installed :S
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MerXury13:
:) Nice ROM! Just seen that you solve the ""H" not shown- only 3g" Problem! Awesome!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Sobab:
Alarm

The alarm went off 8 minutes to late, judging by the numbers of FC (clock something htc.xxxxxx.bg something, gapps(something with google apps).... sorry I was a bit to stressed by the signal to pay enough attention) I believe that the original signal was stopped and that it just went to snooze (and no, I did not put it to snooze in my sleep... it is located to far away to make that possible :) )

/Sören
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pichelheimer:
Very nice! You are the best!!

As of now i only had two FC´s one after my alarm went on and I turned it off.

The other while listing to music in standby. So pretty much no problems for me!

Great!

And it is realy fast! I love it. Could you fix HTC Music if you have the chance?

Thank you so much for your efforts!

I have also experienced this.. it's weird
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
As of now, it's not ready. I only had about 3 hours at it last night and then I had to sleep. I'm now at work, with a huge 10 hour day ahead of me.

Chances are, I'll get some time tonight, and my aim was to release it then.

The problem is, I want beta 4 to me more than just one or two small fixes!

Anyway, as it stands, I aim to get it out tonight.

If anything changes this evening and I have to delay it, I'll let you all know of course!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
Yeah! Take all the time you need. It's better with a more stable release, than one you need to patch all the time. Anyways, you're doing an amazing job and being really serviceminded on your ROM. Hope you'll get that new Hero soon!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'l about $18-$25 off.

Depends on if I want to go for next day delivery or not... which I do, obviously. I'm HOPEFULLY going to get there by tomorrow, so I can get the dev hero for my 4 day weekend :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I get this problem as well. it seems that sometimes the market seems to hang and its only after you close (and kill) the market and reopen it then downloads

Vanillan lock screen?

Hey is it possible to add the Vanillan lock screen from the non-sense rom? That lock screen was damn awesome and I miss it.

Cheers.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
What was that lock screen? Default android?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
Interesting... I can't login into Talk, I get 'Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly'

Also, I had the problem where the alarm went off late this morning (2 minutes) and I couldn't silence it so I had to pull the battery out. Before I pulled the battery though I noticed that Gmail had downloaded new email overnight.

I'm not running any widgets that aren't included in the ROM.

Because of Gmail push, pattern lock and now this alarm problem I think I'm going to go back to Vanillain for a while.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shelnes:
It was that Flan loockscreen. Slide from left to right thingie he's asking about...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
ah right I know the one.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dream_Team:
For the lock screen, if you want it back like I do, you can use the command line adb tool for removing it

You need to delete /system/app/HTCLockScreen.apk

As always, when manipulating system files, please do a nandroid backup.

Also, for the music, a temporary fix for me (since I don't like meridian) is do install the installable version of Nexus one's Musik.apk, it's the stock android one, which runs pretty well here and enables music search in the global search box.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
Flan? you mean Eclair?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Either way I now know the one

I don't see why it won't be possible, just depends on how difficult it is to code, not sure where the default lock file sits in the system code.

Obviously Nathan will know as he has used it on his other rom. But this probably won't be high in his list of priority's either.

Just remove the HTC Lock screen in the way I said a few pages back and that will get you a step closer to the one you want. (will give you the curved android lock screen with options to unlock and mute phone)

gallery bug

Just a quick bug report.. I placed a photo on to my SD card, and since i did the gallery just keeps coming up with "Loading" but not loading anything..i then moved the photo in to a folder that the gallery had already been able to read previously and it worked.. not sure why its doing that? thought i'd let you know
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Try removing your SD card (the safe way via the settings menu) and then reinsert it and then try again and let us know what happens
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'm also now having this problem. This is a significant problem too.

Let me see if I can come up with a quick fix until the next version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
VERY interesting.

Are you on T-Mobile UK and using data network?

If so, this is a known issue apparently. Just popped up recently.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
I have never used the IM app before but I can't log in on that.

Is it because I am not Tmobile? Its no big issue as I just use Ebuddy for msn however I would like to test the IM app if we can get it working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
FOUND A QUICK FIX:

Turn OFF Wifi, Turn OFF Data Connection using APNDroid.

Turn ON Data Connection....

Log into Google Talk.

Weird, but it works.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Same fix for IM would you think?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Williz:
Found a couple of issues straight off the bat. Contacts photos won;t update from facebook if imported from SIM. Apps purchased or free won't download off the market :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
To fix the market, close and use a task program to kill it then re-open market.

If that does not start your download then cancel the download and try to install it again.

That normally does the trick for me.

Its a strange bug but you can still download.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Williz:
Cancelling and re-trying didn't work. Internal taskiller will work for that right? Settings,applications, running programs?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yeah kill the market there then try to open it.

Alternatively reboot you phone (less than ideal I know but it should definitely work)

And as another point what radio file you running?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Williz:
Haven't actually updated the radio file since I got the phone at release. But to be fair it still works 100% fine signal wise.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maliiina:
link in megaupload have corupttet genie widget - 4shared is okay :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Yeah it might work signal wise but it can interfere with some apps etc especially now we have jumped to 2.1

It might be worth while considering updating it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok here is the IM error I am getting most often (sometimes get a different one)

Detail: Sorry, the phone number cannot be read from your SIM card. Please contact your operator for help
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] skykiller:
When you have a call come in and you are allready on a call it gives offf a hipitch sound and connects the incoming call on its own.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Williz:
How do I actually update the radio? I know how to just update firmware like this but never actually dabbled in Radio's.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok you flash it like you would a ROM (no wiping or anything though, just flash from recovery)

It will then write the image to the phone but won't install till your first boot.

You then reboot and you will see the phone out of the box image, this is when it installs your radio and can take quite some time (up to 5 mins) so don't worry its normal to take that long.

Make sure you have enough battery on the phone and don't do anything to it when that phone out the box logo is on screen.

It will eventually reboot and you will be good to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mouseymousey:
Thanks, I'll try that later (I'm back on Vanillain at the moment!). I am on T-mobile data network as you suspected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] SpPes:
Hi, I'm newbee too,

does I need to update the SPL too? How can I find which SPL I actually have?

Sorry for this off topic but I didn't find answer in this forum.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
No need to touch your SPL just need to flash the recovery image (which you need to install custom roms as well) e.g. Amon Ra
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] barryallott:
TBH I have found that the ROM is much more stable with the latest radio...

Crap... did I put this in the correct forum??? dont know... bloody chrome with 40 tabs open!!!1 AARRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes your right new radio's re usually a big improvement on the last
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] etherez:
Is it supposed to take over 6-7 minutes to start the phone the first time i'm starting it?

10minutes now.! It's stuck on the "HTC" logo
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
It can do, I would wait a bit longer first before considering battery pulling.

Is this the rom or radio your flashing?

If its the radio Don't pull the battery, if its the rom and taking a very very long time then you can pull the battery but wait a while first.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] maliiina:
searching mobile network not working always error ;/
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] etherez:
It's the rom. Its been there for 20minutes now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Ok if it has been 20 mins then I would say you will be ok if you pulled the battery

But you do so at your own risk

I have had to do this in the past on some roms though..
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Dude, are you saving for a gold edition???

Just kidding of course :p. For some reason I find it very hard to type messages, it looks like the keyboard is not calibrated properly. Anyway to fix this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Calibrate it? :D go to options in settings and go calibrate
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] etherez:
Never mind. I think i found out what's wrong. I forgot to wipe it before installing the rom. I will try again now.

"What should i do if the Rom dont work? I cant access my sdcard without mounting it from the phone."
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
You can access your sd card from the recovery menu just plug it into your pc then click mount usb or whatever the option is (assuming you have amon ra installed)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
I'd bet anything that you didn't wipe! ;)

Try again. FULL WIPE, then flash.

If the GIF animation (HTC logo) stops, and the lights on your buttons don't come on, it's stuck. At that point, pull the battery.

Believe me though, I've flashed this rom, and different versions of this rom countless times. The only things which have caused problems are:

- Forgetting to wipe

- Old radio version.

Good luck.

(Sorry I haven't responded to much today; been very very busy, and will be for the next 6 hours or so)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Oh.. I was too late. He found it himself ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nprussell:
Thank you all; I am very pleased to announce that you've all just bought me my DEV HERO! :)

I have ordered it, and it'll be here on Friday.

Any further donations will be solely to buy me a celebratory beer/redbull/kebab.

Thanks again, so much everyone.

Now, I owe it to you to make the 3.0 Stable release as functional as possible.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Bornin:
Can we still expect the update today Nathan?

I am now back at Modoca cause I couldn't find the keyboard calibration option, I think I have an eye problem.

Now i want to go back to 3.0 but if we get 4.0 today I might just wait a while

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:

Right time to make a coffee then get back to work, will try to check and help more on here later.
