Any solution for the facebook/contacts syncronization? after 1 day not syncronized:(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
i have a feeling it might be cos i sent myself one, my gf sent me one (she is also on vodafone uk) and it came through fine :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
I had this problem with 3.1, 3.2 fixed it with no problem.

If not working, try to delete facebook account in settings and then do it again, worked for me on 3.1
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
this is built into the messages app (mms.apk) if you unzip mms.apk and unzip mms.apk from a 1.5 rom, you will see preference files for this screen. Im fairly sure there is different version of the mms.apk for the different types of hero(cdma etc.)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Ok ! I'll update wiki with italian network ;) there are four, I believe... working on it now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
^Intruder^ said:

If you're having problems with a GPS lock, try this:

1. turn on GPS

2. reboot phone

3. start google maps

I had the problem with a GPS fix too, waited for 10 mins and still nothing, rebooting with GPS on on startup fixed it for me. After that you can turn it off to save battery, if you want to.

As far as i know you only need to do that once, after that GPS works fine everytime.

(thanks to ?KonradWalsh for bringing this one up)

Perfect!! fix i 10 seconds after reboot!!! thanks a lot!

Just updated the wiki

with the mms settings for OneCall Norway. Confirmed working!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
Apn settings for h3g ita was automatically for me!

vodafone, tim, wind and h3g are the four main networks in italy. there are others but very small! (fastweb mobile, etc..)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dk_iceman:
hey i really like your work.

just installed 3.2 and for now it seems fine.... But why does my ringtones sound so bad ? its loud but sounds so bad ??
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah, I think it's the act of sending one that tells your network that you can receive them
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Check the wiki (link in my sig) at the bottom for the name of an app that will let you turn down the 'extra volume' in this ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
my suggestion would possibly be a batch file which uses adb to do it...

run the file select your country, select your network and then it calls adb to do the update command :) no need to install anything on phone then :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] dolby71:
Battery use shows 27% of my battery went on "Phone Idle"... 33% on Cell standby, and the rest on some other reasonable stuff.

27% on Phone idle? that's retarded. and that's after using the dmagnet fix, so no annoying messages on logcat for now. anyone?

Java Problem

Thanks for this great rom, it is almost perfect.

However, I have difficulty using my bank's java application. It launches and look stable, but it can neither send a text or use the gprs (required for activation and transactions).

Any help is highly welcomed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
I don't need to do a wipe when comming from the first 2.1 eris leaked you made do I?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Automatically?!?!? :confused: with V3.2? how did you do it? (apn is automatic, but mms does not work, check that)

by the way, upgraded wiki with all major Italian nerworks (and some minor) :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
Any solution for the facebook/contacts syncronization? after 1 day not syncronized:(

Ok, fast syncronization! Maybe it's a good idea to add this solution in wiki page!

thanks Tatsu99
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
even coming from previous i had to wipe ... but id say try it, if it doesnt work, wipe it then do it again :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
I'm sorry, only apn. mms not tested! :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shingers5:
man like i always say this villain rom looks pretty as do all the others. battery life is my biggest gripe with all these roms. about 12 hrs is abissmal by any standards. this rom looks pretty and so far no issues at all. if i can get a lest 24 hrs from it then its a keeper for now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
added to wiki ;)

no problem :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
no wipe only if you come from 3.1 (and maybe 3.0 ?!? :confused:)

In every case i think that wipe it's better in every case when you flash...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I've just added pretty much all the UK ones as well...

I really need to put them into order, but can't really be bothered right now :)

I'm liking the idea of a script that does the 'ask the user their network, then run the command' via adb.

Hold on... Could someone really clever use a 'grep'ped output of getprop to find out what network we are running on, then run the command as appropriate?

ie. how about

getprop | grep gsm.activedefaultAPN

as it returns

[gsm.activedefaultAPN]: [general.t-mobile.uk]

???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
I guessed that, for now, if you want to use mms you should follow the wiki (not straightforward but it works)

or wait for others to provide a better solution.

(with time I could make a .db for h3g but you will still have to push it to phone with adb)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
It aborted the install so I had to wipe.....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
check the wiki, there is a fix for that
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
download "tone picker" in the market and adjust the different volume levels
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
If it works, it could be pretty good! ;) just a script that reads the results, find the correct settings and push it to the phone!

Until someone can hack the .apk to free those settings...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
Fyi, edited the wiki, moved the mms settings to a different page so as not to take up lots of room (mean its easy to find resolutions to problems this way :).
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Thanks! Much better now :)

Easier to find now as well.

I've also tweeted to nathan just to let him know we've fixed MMS, since he did tweet last night 'Mms issue isn't easily solvable. Sorry folks'
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Strangely, one of my post disappeared. So here it is again.

Based on several experiments conducted today, I noticed this:

GPS will work only if I shut down with GPS turned on. If GPS is turned off and I reboot, GPS will not work.

However, if I shutdown with GPS turned on, the phone will not Sleep !

A check into Settings > About Phone > Battery shows Up time = Awake time if I shut GPS on before reboot !

If I turn off GPS, the Up Time will definitely be more than Awake time.

So the poor batt life somehow relate to the GPS ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Still not working for me, removed account and re added facebook for HTC sense, ticked sync contacts, the icon shows for a few seconds and thats all. When i look at any contact in the poeple app, there is no facebook connection. There is a option to link contact to a facebook profile, but when i click that it says there are no matches?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Piercy0812:
yeah, i think all of the fixes should be on their own page. The faq can stay where it is but the fixes should be on there own that way answers are easily found.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
have you checked in settings>account>Facebook>syncronyze contacts (on)?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
Su Permissons

I have searched and I can't find the answer to this so forgive me if it is somewhere

I have no SU permissions

I was on 3.1, was trying to install xml yesterday for anon2122, when I found this out.

Did usual complete wipe etc and tried 3.2 today after being unable to get su working on 3.1,

Still couldnt get root on 3.2, so have nandroided bcak to 3.1

Can anyone help or suggest a way round I have tried adb from windows and linux and I still always get access denied or the error I posted yesterday when trying out anon2122 fix

Cheers
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
what is DMAgent issues? it fix battery duration?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
yes, it should, it worked for me ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Flash it

there is an error in the rom that makes an error message appear every 5 seconds, we believe it will make the battery a little better.

No harm in flashing it anyway, so just do it ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] djmace:
Yeah its on, im gonna try a wipe and flash everything again
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
It might. We're not certain, but it seems to do more good than harm. IT gets rid of a regular event in logcat (the system log), so that should save a bit of battery at least :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
sometimes it takes a little time to syncronise, not sure why
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] folgui:
Hi!

Updated the wiki page with MMS info of SPAIN providers.

Only could confirm working with Orange.

Regards, folgui.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Oh, I forgot about that. Ehm. I can't think why you're not getting root on 3.2.

I see you did a full wipe, but did you add all the latest 'fix' update.zips on the wiki? I installed 3.2 from scratch last night (onto a brand new sd card too) and had no troubles. I just wiped everything after a nandroid of my 1.5, popped in the ROM, then all the fixes, then rebooted into it. Root works fine for me as far as I know (well, I get the # in adb shell, and I can do root-only stuff :))
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kingkeld:
Hi,

I am not sure if this is a Villian 3.2 issue, or just a settings adjustment I need, but when I visit certain mobile websites, typically newspapers, I only get text and not the usual images and links to stories. I am sure this is NOT the pages (several do not read correct and have the same problem). Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this?

Examples of pages not showing correct:

m.eb.dk

m.bt.dk

m.jp.dk

m.pol.dk

Working and showing correctly:

m.nordvestnyt.dk

The pages all show fine on my old Nokia N85.

Any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Kingkeld.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Cheers. Nice update!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Right its been a while since I last tried but I had a lot of trouble getting adb to work in the past.

I think its time to try again I am on windows vista.

What do I do :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Biglebowski85:
ok, just updated!

tatsu99 you have a private message in italian, if you can't helps me no problem!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/ should help a bit. Any further questions, search and ask away if you can't find their answers anywhere.

HTH
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
Ok

I was afraid you were gonna say that was trying to avoid re-formating SD card, it is weird cos I can get to the shell but can't do anything.

Right will wipe card
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I think it's worth a shot. Be sure to copy everything data-wise to the PC and make a nandroid of your ext partition just in case. Then just format it and get Villain working with root. Then I'd just copy all my data back across and you should be fine.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] reidefors82:
if i try to sync manually by edit a contact, no search-results is showing. Seems like it has no connection to FB at all.

And if I try to use the app facebook sync, there´s a webpage error appering
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Thats the very page I was after

Thanks anon

Damn 16gb cards

1 hr 10 to go.... there might be a new release by then :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I presume this worked before on 1.5? I'm not too familiar with jbed (the java layer), as I never use it, but I'm sure someone may be able to have a look at this. Could you give some more details about the app itself. Also, try getting some other java apps like opera mini (anything that is definitely a java app that uses internet/sms) and try it and see if it works as expected.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
You need a class 6 card my friend :D Either that or a smaller one, or just less stuff :p. How big's yours? I've got a class 6 8GB just this week, to tide me over till I can get a class 6 16GB for a decent price. But it's totally empty, apart from my update.zips that I've not actually removed yet!

EDIT: Ah, I just noticed your title that it's a 16GB. Well, either you need class 6, or a faster card reader :p Hope all goes well
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No bother.

Anyone think that the link to the unlockr's adb guide should go in at the top of the wiki just for anyone who doesn't have it set up?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
In response to someone a few pages ago who mentioned that turning GPS off lets the phone go to sleep, I can confirm this.

If you're not using GPS, turn it off via the widget and it will let the phone go to sleep. Now had it sleeping for 45mins out of 1hr uptime (the 15 mins was me playing with it).

Think I'll add this to the wiki if anyone else can confirm it...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] stari4ek:
something was changed with memory management between 3.1 and 3.2

In 3.1 I had ~80Mb memory free all the time, and it was awesome, but now It works in the same way as stock 1.5 - ~30Mb (without killing apps through task manager)

And It feels like 3.1 was a bit quicker than 3.2
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Finally got ADB working (i think :D)

Edit: just attempted the mms fix now, think it worked :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
If anyone else thinks this is the same, perhaps we should check with nathan when he's next around what he changed between 3.1 and 3.2... I'm running a taskiller to keep memory up at around 60-80MB, but have noticed that sense occasionally closes despite being on the ignore list???
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
Indeed 3.1 had a better memory management... around 40-50Mb better
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] marotoweb:
Olá!

Updated the wiki page with MMS info of PORTUGAL providers.

Only could confirm working with Vodafone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
A quick read at nathan's release notes shows the following for 3.1-3.2:

I'm guessing (just guessing) that it's something to do with either PNG optimisation or Zip align, mainly since I (ignorantly) don't know much about them, and none of the other stuff sounds like it would be likely to cause RAM issues.

The only other idea I had was that perhaps 3.1 had the internal taskiller set a notch higer than stock, but 3.2 didn't? Anyone checked to see?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Groundless:
Great ROM!

I have a small issue.

When i reboot my Hero a few times, i missed "wifi tether", "proxmity", market enabler" and another one (do not remember what it was).

I flash the ROM again and look what happened. (google translate, sry)

p.s.: i made a thread with VillainROM Splashscreens, look at my signature
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Obrigado ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yeah I agree with what you said here.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gmmorris:
I seem to have a similar problem - When Superuser Permissions window comes up - it appears blank.

I know, USB debugging must be turned on - it is, and I have reboot half a dozen times since...

Any ideas?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Hmm. Ich weiß nicht, was falsch sein könnte :(

Vielleicht können Sie /data von Recovery wischen, dann VillainROM wieder installieren?

Benützen sie Apps2SD?

In English:

I don't know what could be wrong.

Perhaps you could wipe your data partition from recovery, then try a reinstall.

Do you use Apps2SD?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
speeded up

Its a class 6 16gb as soon as a took it out my phone and put it in a card reader it did in about 8 10 minutes it was pretty full
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Just installing droidwall that needs root to see if it works here...

Doh! Droidwall won't work, since it needs custom kernel modules. But I did get the usual superuser box appear, and I allowed it OK and it went away and tried. So root works for me :( Sorry. Can't really help with this one...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Right then

ORANGE UK - mms sending and receiving after doing the fix in the wiki

Thanks guys :) awesome all round effort there with that wiki.

Can someone update Orange uk to say tested and working as I don't have time now, have to go.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
Its working for me as well, some people just seem to be having trouble with it?

We need to identify what they came from i.e. flashed over 3.1? or flashed after wipe? etc
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Yeah. I'm gonna guess they flashed up from 3.1 to 3.2.

I'll add that orange UK is verified.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
superuser works here, root file manager, titanium backup, root backup, droidcap & others...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] silverstream:
Strange, even with gps off via power control widget, it still don't sleep.

Only way is to reboot without gps turned on
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I think this should be our next thing to focus on. We've fixed mms, dmagent etc. now to get GPS sorted... Anyone tried any other 2.1 ROMs that had good GPS support that didn't kill the battery and didn't have all this trouble of 'turn it off with the GPS off and it won't work...'?

I'm thinking we could transplant the drivers across and give it a go.

Anyone with me on this one?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] osmotoletto:
Hello nprussell, in your latest ROM is missing in Bluetooth settings of the Advanced Settings button !????????!

I think this feature for many will be very important!

I understand english text, but i have problems to write in english.:D

I will try it
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
No bother. It's been a couple of years since my A-Level german, so I'm a bit rusty. At least you understand english better than I understand german :D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
I have flashed the rom 3 times now (all with full wipe). The 1. time I couldn't even open the market. 2. and 3. time it says "Installation unsuccessfull" when trying to install apps. I't can download the apps fine but it can't install them :confused:

What can I do? :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] RichardFHTC:
OK working

This is what I did

Used recovery to reformat SD card.

Install 3.2 + VPN and Battery Fix and APPStoSD

Rebooted

Still had no shell via phone

Installed all other fixes

Rebooted phone

Reinstalled ADB drivers (764bit).

Rebooted computer

Tried MMS fix via adb worked fine

rebooted phone

Now have shell via phone

Very weird not an expert by any means but know my way around and am putting this down to microsoft as they are easier to blame :):):):):):):):)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Check the wiki (link in my sig) for the market fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
droidcap working fine here too :) Didn't even get the superuser prompt, but it worked... Gonna try BetterTerminal now
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Okay, I thought it was for a different problem :o

Do I just flash it like the roms?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Lennyuk:
yes you do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Okay, thanks for the answer ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
better terminal 'su' works fine, with prompt as expected for allow/deny/always allow/always deny.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Tatsu99:
I've looked for better terminal on market but I can find only the pro version, has the free version disappeared?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eeww:
Chinese input look like not work again, keep force close~!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Can't see the free version on the market any more here :confused:

I was using the paid (pro) version.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nicholaszen:
Chinese keyboard

I have installed Google PinYin, that works good here....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] MisterRio:
Forgot to get back here, but the ROM I was referring to was "HERO21-1.8-Community-signed"; this had a working google maps navigation
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shinobi_1983:
Worked for me too in Germany!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Dakeyras:
Just an update on the SU issue. I downloaded and installed titanium backup and managed to allow SU permissions for that, following that any program needing SU the SU dialogue froze on a black screen. I tried a re-flash (3 times to be sure) and couldnt get SU working although it did work once.

Following these I went to go to a nandroid restore of the initial install of 1.2 I had set up but I got the ‘error : run ‘nandroid-mobile.sh restore’ via adb’ so I flashed 1.1 to check SU status and nandroid restore. SU working fine in 1.1 (checked with market enabler) but nandroid restore again gives the ‘error : run ‘nandroid-mobile.sh restore’ via adb’ again. Following that I had some fun in adb with nandroid.md5 not found (for villain backup) but restore worked on an older backup of modaco.

I’ll get villain 1.2 back on later, best leave the phone running for a bit now.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkoouu:
Exchange password - only one try

For all of you with password forcing Exchange account - beware you have no retries to enter correct password, if mistyped your device will be immediatelly wiped.

It looks like a HOAX message :D:D:D but it is not, you can try for yourself ... nandroid first ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
Thanks for the great ROM :)

Some issues I encountered:

I can't seems to clear Google Apps cache as I want to change my Google Account login, is there any other way?

The weather location is not accurate for me.

Another vote for Chinese font to be installed on next build.

Question: Can I set all contacts on the People application to choose Mobile Number as the default contact instead of Home number?

Thanks :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Neo12:
Chinese as in Chinese or is it a metaphor?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kkoouu:
... was just wondering whether number of allowed retries might be pushed from Exchange as well ... I have checked with admins and they said that only password is forced, but nothing regarding the number of retries
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raym0nd:
I mean it should be able to view Chinese character instead of square box and also allow us to write Chinese character.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] precplac:
I tried installing this. But I am stuck on the HTC screen. I have tried removing the battery, but cannot get beyond HTC. Any ideas?
