John,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not quite sure whether I understand why you appear to be so heated, since I wasn't questioning your original post, in fact I was't even referring to it.

I think your email to HTC was very well written, you pointed out a problem that keeps annoying me ever since I first stumbled across the HTC suport site and you did that in a kind and decent way and the response you got from the (UK?) support staff shows that at least the folks at the local first level support are quite aware of the problem.

On the other hand, however, I still think I made a valid point. When dealing with international partners, it's allways wise to put oneself in the other one's position for a second. And I, for my part, can hear the typical asian flowery and long-winded way of not-telling that there was something wrong in every single hotfix description I read so far ...

From my experience, they're not going to change that anytime soon, at least not in the announcement texts that are prominently readable on the download site. Instead, we should insist on a detailed ChangeLog.txt we can download from somewhere. Thanks again for your email to HTC and lets hope for the best :)

Cheers, M.

Heh - I wasn't being heated mate - I was just making a point about something you'd said. :)
[HD2 General] pkchips:
Hey guys,

I've had the phone for 1 or 2 months now, and was enjoying it, but I had that annoying "cardiac arrest" bug which has been described in another thread, where the line suddenly starts jumping back and forth when using applications like swype. It wasn't too bad in that it only happened every now and then, but I sent it back to HTC for repair anyway.

The phone has now been returned in an even worse state than when I sent it! Now it happens a lot more often, almost every other time I use the phone, and the jumping back and forth is a LOT more pronounced!

Returning my phone on warranty is a massive hassle for me because I have to be at home to send and receive the phone, and so I wanted some advice here. Is my only option to return it to HTC over and over again and hope that they eventually fix it? Or are there any other options? Would HTC be able to just give me a new phone?

This phone was bought from O2 (but not by me). Would O2 do anything different to HTC, or would they just send it to HTC for repair? If so, would I be better off getting the person who purchased it to return it to O2?
[HD2 General] [★]:
Please explain your problem in a little more detail
[HD2 General] pkchips:
Heya, I'm not sure what additional details might be needed...

the problem is that when the finger is on the screen and held absolutely still, the phone thinks I'm swyping my finger left and right really quickly. And when I try to press buttons it often registers the completely wrong button.

When I sent it to HTC under warranty, it came back even worse than when I sent it.
[Hero CDMA General] raynda:
Hi!

I thought I'd start a thread where we can iron out problems everyone seems to have with the Hero 200. Googling these things yields some spotty results, and one main website for cricket/metropcs flashing info is currently down. (The mobile files.com site)

Here's what I've come across as a newcomer to the Hero, trying to get it set up for rooting, flashing to another carrier like cricket, etc... If it's ok for this thread to stay around, I'd be happy to go back and edit this post with the answers to these problems and/or links to websites that have specific solutions that work. (Some of the problems I'll list here, I've already figured out but I don't have time at the moment to go ahead and put the solution in.)

Terminology http://thecricketmafia.com/free-beginners-guide-to-modifying-repairing-and-flashing-phones/

Problem 1 - Installing the correct version of HTC Sync and HTC Drivers so that the PC recognizes the Hero.

Problem 2 - Rooting the Hero. (An excellent guide for this is available here in this forum, but for completeness sake, I've listed the problem.)

Solution 2 Theresthatguy made an excellent guide here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=583291

Problem 3 - Getting a COM port assigned to the Hero and installing the HTC DIAG drivers so that qPST and CDMA Workshop will work.

Problem 4 - The "Broadband Workaround Trick" people refer to, where you can use a Cricket Broadband account to backdoor your way into internet access on the Hero.

Problem 5 - Flashing a CDMA Hero 200 to Cricket/MetroPCS for talk and text

Solution 5 (in progress, not fully solved yet) Here's a cached, text only version of the only thing I've found about this... http://74.125.93.132/search?q=cache...+cricket&hl=en&client=firefox-a&gl=us&strip=1

Problem 6 - Flashing a CDMA Hero 200 to Cricket/MetroPCS for SMS/internet

Solution 6 (in progress, not fully solved yet) It would seem that to do this, the first thing in the process is to get CDMA Workshop and qPST, and probably at least one other program, up and running and communicating with the phone. However, just getting Windows (Windows 7 in my case) to install the drivers is keeping me and many others from getting started!

Problem 7 -

If I've missed a thread on here where someone has already consolidated this info, then my apologies! Flashing to Cricket, getting a COM port assigned and loading HTC DIAG drivers, and the Broadband trick, as well as finding a way to enable SMS and/or internet are my problems for the moment. I'm sure I can figure out most of my questions if I could just get Windows to install the HTC DIAG drivers! I've even tried setting up a VMPlayer with WinXP on it, but I gave up out of frustration last night and am waiting for some time to try again.

By the way, is it just me or is the Wifi really weak in this device? My Dell Axim x51v picks up stronger signals from the Wireless G Router next door to me and it's only a wireless-B adapter!

Hi guys,

I've got a lot of problem with my Xperia X1.

First I had camera problems, than vibration, they house cracking, mini mouse stuck and now my headset plugin.

I was outside and listened to music. When I came to home battery was empty so I charged it. When I turned on and headset wasn't plugged in I got it still in Headset Mode which makes me stuck right now.

I've tried to update rom, but didn't helped.

I've tried to plug in and out toooo many times, but still not worked.

I've turned my mobile off and plugged my headset out and turned mobile on, but still not fixed.

Any other fixes are always welcome.

Thanks anyways.
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billip:
I also had this issue once, but i wouldn't recommend doing what i did to fix mine just in case it doesn't work for you, and damages your phone (standard disclaimer....lol) I stuck the end of a small hair clip into the jack and wiggled it around a bit until the icon disappeared and i could hear sounds again. I don't know if the problem has been fixed permenently or not, as my hands free has gone missing, so i can't plug it in and remove it to see if the problem happens again. I'm guessing the jack is worn out maybe? I'm pretty sure mine is with the amount of times its been used. Good luck :-)

Okay, I know we've discussed this in another thread a bit before but it's really bothering me.

I do like the stock Android keyboard a lot, even though I have the HTC one installed on my AOSP 1.6.

THe problem is that my stock keyboard lacks a dictionary so there is NO prediction whatsoever (except capitalizing days of the week, lol.)

How do I install a dictionary into this thing? And where do I download one?

Can I download an stock ROM from, say, a Sapphire and pull the dictionary?

I could just enter every single word into the phone manually... would certainly expand my vocabulary to read the dictionary like that lol.
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
There are a few threads on this, do a search for Dictionary with the Posts option checked. You really just have to pull your old dictionary from the keyboard and put it in the new keyboard and it will work. I don't have time to write up the instructions right now.

Well, until it gets cracked, here's something that will make you feel a little better about being stuck on this ROM.

Google Search by Voice, installable .apk from Euro Android Market. Just run the installer through Astro, etc., and G Search by Voice is back on the Search button of your phone. You might need to launch the app first via the icon in the app tray, then reboot the phone to make the search button recognize its there. But it will be there.

Is this thread in the Dream Forum a path to follow to try, or just a good way to brick your Magic? I haven't fully read through it to see if this is to keep root, if you already have it and flash the Rogers Dream ROM for data/ or to regain root if you flashed the official Rogers RUU with a Dream. The post says should work on all Rogers phones, but i feel a brick coming on for me.

Does anyone else get an error message that flashes at you in Handcent when you try and send a text with certain characters in such as a "£" sign?

It says it will corrupt the message if I send it with that symbol to any other carrier apart from T-Mobile.

LOL. As if other carriers don't support the Pound sign :p

It says:

"Compatibility Warning:

Your sms include some special character(RED BACKGROUND), if you send it from T-Mobile to other carriers,it will cause the message can't go through

*text box* £ *text box* "

The pound sign is highlighted red if you're wondering where the "RED BACKGROUND" came from :P

And I copied the message exactly, grammar mistakes included.

Is there a way to disable it?

Whats the word on sending mms on sprint through android on a vogue? im able to receive but i can't send.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
It's possible to get it to "send"....

Go to Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Mobile networks > Access Point Names

Hit Menu > New APN

Name: MMS

APN: MMS

MMSC: http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms

MMS Port: 80

APN type: MMS

Hit Menu > Save. REBOOT.

(I think I may have also entered the MMSC and MMS Port under the Android Internet APN, but not the other stuff -- I did get it to send, just not go anywhere. I messed up my Internet APN afterward and had to re-load so I lost my settings)

HOWEVER, the message never makes it to the recipient. Android won't complain it's un-sendable, and will upload it, but Sprint doesn't do anything with it. Currently it seems like that setting acts as a black hole. Now this doesn't mean this is a dead end.

ArcSoftMMS for Windows Mobile uses these settings. However, I'm not sure if any additional settings are used.

63.215.195.152 = mms.sprintpcs.com (ping it if you don't believe me)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Nevermind.

All you do is in the Android APN:

MMSC: http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=<your10digitphone#>

MMS Port: 80

However, the Mms.apk messaging application needs to be modified to spoof a particular UserAgent. It should be the same one as in Windows Mobile. This will require a recompile of Mms.apk, along with distributing an androidupdate.tar.

Until then, it'll go through, but won't be relayed.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gigermunit:
nice detail thanks, maybe in the future.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] bri3d:
This should be pretty easy once we have said user-agent. I don't want to have to go all the way back to Windows Mobile to get it though - if anyone's seen it before, let me know and I'll see if I can get the package working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
I don't think anyone's gone down this road. Verizon people can do MMS, just do X-VZW-MDN=<phonenumber> instead. Sprint appears to have some extra filtering...

I installed Windows ArcSoftMMS and can sucessfully send MMS messages. We'll have to reverse-engineer what's being replicated there.

The one I installed is here:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=61802

Just the Sprint Arcsoft MMS 5.0.82.79.cab

There's also a device capability link that's usually sent to the server.

For example, for Rhodium, this is sent:

http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/Rhodium-1.0.xml

By chance, there's a file for our Vogues:

http://www.htcmms.com.tw/gen/Vogue-1.0.xml

I'm not sure what else is sent to the server. There's an entire Rhodium PPCGeeks thread devoted to getting HTC Messaging in Manila 2.5 to work on Sprint. They've been thus far unsuccessful. They, too, are currently chasing down the useragent stuff.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
I was talking to someone in the Sprint Hero forum, and they said the hero people had to rebuild Mms.apk and add:

req.addHeader(HDR_KEY_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE, HDR_VALUE_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE);
//add X-MDN http header
TelephonyManager teleMgr =
(TelephonyManager)context.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
req.addHeader("X-MDN", "1" + teleMgr.getLine1Number());

to com.android.mms.transaction.HttpUtils

I tried and no go. We'll have to look into replicated what WinMobile is doing.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
For verizon do we add the entries to the andriod APN or create a new one? Is the port the same?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Add to the existing APN. Hit menu/power, then save.

For the MMSC, on verizon you can just do ?X-VZW-MDN=<10digitphonenumber> after the URL.

i.e http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=1234567890
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
Okay guys, I looked further into what WinMo is doing.

Apparently the cab I posted that works on my phone is for the Palm Treo Pro.

If you install it and look in:

HKLM,"Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader"

You'll see there's a whole bunch of settings. The UAProf points to sprint's website itself, identifying it as a Treo.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\WspHeader]
"X-MDN"="1<phonenumber>"
"Accept-Charset"="us-ascii,utf-8,iso-10646-ucs-2,iso-8859-1"

[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
So I just have to enter

http://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms?X-VzW-MDN=<phonenumber>

in the MMSC field.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
That's the sprint messaging server (http://mms.sprintpcs.com). You need to use the VZW one.

http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Reddog80p:
I added http://mms.vtext.com/servlets/mms?X-VZW-MDN=<my10digitphonenumber> to the MMSC field, saved and rebooted and tried attchinging a picture to a text but it would not send. The envelope with the red circle icon on it remains there.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jnadke:
I think for VzW it needs to be 9 digit phone number.

Also VzW not VZW. Case-sensitive. That's at least what I read on the WinMobile forums.

According to here, it's otherwise:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=535293&highlight=Verizon+MMS

I can't really answer further, as I don't use Verizon. Try searching the WinMobile forums for the proper settings. Make sure MMS works in WinMobile.
