Nope... not even those stupid cell booster stickers. Actually with those there isn't even a placebo effect :)

3 potential routes.

1. Depending on the size of the office and if you've got a corporate account with many lines, you can ask the corp rep to install a repeater in your floor. It is possible, I've done it! Just needs a little diplomacy, local IT needs to get involved as well as building maintenance personnel. They'll run a T1 line through the building's wiring to the local telephone switch.

2. Do a survey of the office and find out how many people have the same issue. Present the issue to management along with the solution: http://www.wilsonelectronics.com/

3. Forward cell calls to your office phone.

maybe installing a different radio ROM is already good enough? look in ROM section of your device.

I don't know for the Hero, but some older devices have a little round whole in the back (mostly covered with rubber) where you can stick in an external antenna witch uses an external source (wall charger) so mainly your phone becomes a land phone

buy first try to update your radio ROM

oh don't buy that sticker s%^t

I don't know if this just a problem with my phone, but I can't see what time a text was sent if it wasn't sent today. After I select a message marked yesterday or some other past date, I click on "View message details," and I just see the date it was sent or "yesterday."

I checked a friend's Samsung Moment, and it displayed the time the message was sent, no matter when it was sent! Did I do something to screw up my phone? I am not technically proficient, just followed these guides to root and flash a ROM on my phone. I have Fresh ROM 1.1 (you got skills flipzmode) running with MoDaCo's Custom Kernel 1.2 (modaco, you're sick, too), and a clear theme on top of it all.

Are you in Arizona? I believe if you search the forum or even google you will see people in that time zone complaining times are not correct.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] findrodhere:
No, I'm on the East Coast.

The problem isn't with traveling and receiving messages at different times, but just reading what time I received or sent a message. If a message was received sent any other day than today, I'm not able to see what time the person sent it or when I sent one.

When I was using handcent this wasn't a problem, just now with the stock messaging app. Could someone else confirm that this is a problem with my phone? Just open your stock messaging app, select a conversation that took place on a day other than today, and see if you can find out what time the message was sent or received.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] x99percent:
It's a shortcoming of the HTC messaging app. Check the same message in Handcent and you'll see the timestamp when picking "View message details".
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] findrodhere:
That's sad stuff. Thanks for the reply. I'll donate to whoever fixes it!

Edited to add: Is there a way to port over another messaging app? Maybe the one from the Moment?
[HD2 General] htcuserforlife:
Thanks to everyone on the forums. I just got a Telstra HTC Hd2 sent to me from personaldigital.com.au in Australia. They were awesome, had it within a week. The telstra rom worked out of the box but they have heavily configured it and a lot of the web based apps did not work property. In the end, I HSPL ed it and loaded the Artemis ROM from this forumn.

It was very easy and works a treat. EVERYTHING worked first time, even prompted me for AT&T and away I went. It would not have been so easy with out the forums help, much appreciated to all.
[HD2 General] Spike15:
Excellent choice!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] 2003evo8:
I was wondering how to change the background screen when my TP2 is lock. I tried downloading different themes and background and it still doesn't change. I have a tmobile with stock rom and official 6.5 upgrade. Can anyone help.

thanks.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] SlyMaelstrom:
The background of your lock screen is the background of your Today screen. That is to say, the background set for Windows Mobile 6 and not the Touch Flo 3D background.

If you want to change your lock screen background, go to the Settings tab in TF3D, press the left soft key ("All Settings"), select the "Today" icon, and at the bottom of the first tab there will be a checkbox and a browse button to select your background picture.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Sweet Lowdown:
S2U2

You also may want to consider S2U2. It offers much more control over locking phone and pictures Give it a search and check it out.

I m having a really annoying problem. When I first got my phone (tilt2) I was trying out different lock screen backgrounds and somewhere along the way the incall lock screen buttons changed to these really horrible like round custom things. I didnt install anything so I dont have a CLUE how to get them back to the default buttons that I liked. Anyone have an idea?
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
Starting a thread so we can split this discussion out from build-specific threads.

OpenGL ES is currently not working on Eclair, as far as I can tell.

The GLES interface has changed in Eclair, and rather than being provided by /system/lib/libhgl.so 3D drivers are now provided by files in /system/lib/egl/

zenulator found a libGLES_qcom.so, but it doesn't seem to work just yet.

In the "stock" configuration that's shipped with mssmison's Eclair build and that is obtained by simply dropping the libGLES_qcom.so and libGLES_android.so in, the following error is obtained:

E/EGL.oem ( 799): could not open hw3dc (No such file or directory)

Via some simple strings snooping, it can be determined that this lib is looking for /dev/msm_hw3dc rather than the /dev/hw3d which the Donut libraries looked for.

Creating /dev/msm_hw3dc with the same major/minor as /dev/hw3d (so pointing the same place in the kernel) results only in:

D/libEGL ( 799): loaded /system/lib/egl/libGLES_qcom.so
E/EGL.oem ( 799): HW3D_GET_REGIONS failed (Invalid argument)
E/libEGL ( 799): No EGLDisplay for hardware EGL!

And the unaccelerated renderer being used:

V/RenderScript( 799): GL Version OpenGL ES-CM 1.0

V/RenderScript( 799): GL Vendor Android

V/RenderScript( 799): GL Renderer Android PixelFlinger 1.2

That's as far as I can get tonight - it looks like the kernel interface has changed and/or the libGLES_qcom isn't going to work with our hardware.

I will investigate further as the week goes on, but I'd like to encourage everyone with insight to post in this thread so we can get the ball rolling!
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Did you update the .conf (or the .rc)? I don't remember which it is at the moment, but I know there is a config file in the /egl/ folder that points to the lib to use. Zenulator had posted it.

I believe Zen also said that it's closed source, so assuming that everything isn't working correctly, I don't know what our options are to improve it.

EDIT: Here's Zen's page with the Eclair lib: http://cid-26b659bcabad8994.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/.Public/egl.zip

Note that you need to replace the egl.cfg with the one Zen provides, and this is what it contains:

When you replaced the lib, did you update the .cfg file and adjust it so it points to the updated lib?
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
Yes - as you can tell from the debug output I posted, it's trying to load the hardware drivers and failing.

The 3D library is, of course, a blob (companies are generally very protective of their 3D code, for some reason), but Martin was able to reverse-engineer enough of the GPU interface to get Cupcake and Donut's libhgl (which was also very much closed-source) to work fine. It looks like said interface has changed in Eclair (or to be more correct the new Qualcomm drivers for eclair), which is where the vogue-android community comes in :)
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
lol. Reverse-engineer a Windows Mobile driver and write it for Android. The kind of knowledge that takes is ridiculous. My hat is off to the devs here.

Thanks for starting this thread, bri3d. :)
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
Tried dumping the libhgl from Donut in just for kicks and setting it via config - actually worked better than expected. Android called the init function which worked, then the init function didn't return what the Eclair EGL wrapper was expecting (obviously, old driver) and locked the client process up (resulting in no output).

Still think our best bet is getting the kernel interface up to snuff for the new EGL lib that zenulator found to connect to /dev/msm_hw3dc and work - it can't be too different, because the drivers have the same version number - "Q3Dimension MSM7500 01.02.08 0 4.0.0." They are clearly different in some respects, though, and it looks like the new EGL lib doesn't use PMEM anymore.

UPDATE: Aha- here we go:

http://gitorious.org/~makkonen/linu...mmit/cb9a1e70366c581449a902c64653c4e3ff75b743

Looks like it's time for me to get my kernel toolchain set up and go to town.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
We don't even get open GL under WinMo, do we? dzo hacked together better graphics support for donut than WinMo ever had!
[Touch CDMA General] Shidell:
Yep. lol.. it's ridiculous how insanely smart the community is.
[Touch CDMA General] handroider:
i want to update my pulse to ecliar version(pulse also use 7200a cpu just as HTC magic) ,in my own eclair version the 3D can't work, so i replace pulse libhgl.so to HTC libGLES_qcom.so, EGL wrapper load libGLES_qcom.so is ok , but can't control HW3DC device, my kernel is 2.6.29 , who can help me?
[Touch CDMA General] bri3d:
@handroider this is completely the wrong place to ask, but http://gitorious.org/~makkonen/linu...mmit/cb9a1e70366c581449a902c64653c4e3ff75b743 is what you want. The hw3d kernel interface driver was replaced with a new one for Eclair and you'll just need to merge it into your kernel.
[Touch CDMA General] zenulator:
I noticed in mssmisions latest eclair and prob others that libsgl.so is non existant. I retraced where I found those egl libs and they are from a 2.1 sense build which has the libsgl.so. the dream devs also don't have hardware acceleration yet and are running into the same problems.
[Touch CDMA General] dzo:
I ported the new hw3d interface to our kernel and it seems to work OK now. To try it, get the latest kernel from git and select "New Driver for Eclair" as the 3D driver in the "System Type" kernel config menu.

It worked for Armadillo Roll but not Neocore and the live wallpapers are a lot faster!

Also you will need to do "chmod a+rw /dev/msm_hw3d*" because the permissions aren't set correctly.
[Touch CDMA General] mssmison:
Awesome work DZO!

I'll update my eclair build with an update file to fix the permissions on boot and upload a new kernel package
[Touch CDMA General] JeckyllHavok:
I selected the new driver in system Type.

But when i try to chmod it i will get:

no such file or directory

btw, i'm on mssmissions eclair
[Touch CDMA General] Dark-Side:
seems to be only for vogue in the dzo's git repo
[Touch CDMA General] JeckyllHavok:
mhh.. then we'll have to wait, is there any progress in TyTnII OpenGL for eclair?
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
So recently I've flashed my Sprint hero to fresh 1.1 with modocos custom kernal 1.2. I am also using emericas white taskbar. So my problem is that it seems like I'm stuck using my data because the icon on the taskbar indicates I am. My battery seems to be dying fast because of it.Is there a way to fix this or should I re-flash everything?

Thanks in advance!
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Might sound like a stupid question, but have you hard reset (SEND+MENU+END) since you start experiencing this issue?
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
I'm sorry I'm pretty new to rooting.. but what does that do?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
It forces the hardware on the phone to reset itself. You won't loose anything.
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
Would i lose any apps or other data?
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Like I already said, "You won't loose anything".
[Hero CDMA General] mrchu001:
Really sorry about that.

And thank you. I believe it worked.
[Hero CDMA General] NCX001:
Hey guys, I just got my bill for my first month of using my hero on sprint. I ended up using 2,542,507 KB, I pretty much just watch youtube on my phone all day at work. I was wondering if this a lot? Will this get sprint upset with me? How much data do you normally do in a billing cycle?
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
I usually use close to or just above 1GB on a monthly basis. However, I did use 4.6GB once with no issues from Sprint. As long as you stay under 5GB you should have no issues. Though some people have reported going well over that with no problems.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
I use around 1GB each month.

Home internet is another question... :p
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
About 2.5 gb here.
[Hero CDMA General] lv2bll:
i would like to know something like this as well cause i used about 7 gb last month as my phone(tether) is my primary internet source!
[Hero CDMA General] laufine:
I also got my fist bill. I just used about 180M. I only use google map on my way and watch some youtube videos and browser internet. when i am home, i use wifi. I think I'll try to use more next month.lol
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
As of now I'm at 2,144,456 kb. My plan starts over on the 12th.

Edit: Oh, and that 5gb cap is for the data cards, not phones.
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:

i am almost to 1.6 gb so far this month. been using iheartradio quite a bit at work. sure beats the data i used to pull down on my instinct lol.

Pushing about 5 this month.

lol I just got my bill and I used over 10gb and my wife's phone used almost 6. so I was wondering if they would get pissy about that as well.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Wonder when you got your hero
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
I would not push the limits for a third month. Might get a letter from Sprint dropping you for excessive data use. Just be careful. I know it says unlimited....but they can terminate your contract. Just like if you roam too much. I think they base it off a 3 month period for data whether or not you are abusing the unlimited plan.
[Hero CDMA General] acm2117:
Yall are some lightweights. I used 7.1gigs the first month and 23 gigs the second. Absolutely no tethering involved except for 400 mb the first month. I'm gonna shoot for 25 gigs this month. I wish sprint would send me a letter so i can frame it! Unlimited = unlimited.
[Hero CDMA General] DiMa1720:
20 gb and nothing from sprint...nice
[Hero CDMA General] intx:
You're the lightweight :P

I hit 48 GB about 2 months ago when I had my Diamond and nothing at all from Sprint.

20ish last month, 15 so far this month.
[Hero CDMA General] Sirchuk:
Wow, I'm tethered for the first time and looked down adn saw I was at 46MB used and thought I should probably disconnect..then I saw this thread. Holy cow...I only use 380MB last month, I don't know how you guys are going into the tens of gigs each month! Glad to see though my little 100mb tonight isn't going to be a problem..

tethering to my pc with pdanet.
[Hero CDMA General] PikkonX:
Yall are some brave folks lol. I thought I was pushing it with 4.6GB. I'd still be careful though because I remember someone in the Precentral forums running into issues with Sprint due to his data usage a few months back.
[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
im using that much and not tethering, but I drive a lot and pandora and iheart radio are my best friends, that and im on the browser a lot checking in here and such. plus email for personal and work.

2.9gb since 1/19, no tethering
[Hero CDMA General] jvz555:
Has anyone gotten a letter from sprint???

I use around 2.5gb and try not pushing it so i wont get fees but if they dont care, hell ill use my phone tethered to my pc for torrent clients! :)
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
I usually use around 2-3 GB/month.
[Hero CDMA General] lawsofpower48:
had sprint for 5 yrs...been tethering w/ mogul, tp, now hero... i constantly use around 30-40 gb per month..primary internet source... no letter from sprint... like some mentioned..i wish i got one! i can care less what they say. the most i used in a month was near 60gb MUHAHAHAHAHA!
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
30-40 GB? That's insane. That's more than I use on my cable internet!
[Hero CDMA General] lawsofpower48:
movies, music...its my main source of internet....beat that!
[Hero CDMA General] tkhan02:
Sprint reps confirm that the 5g limit applys to only wireless cards and not data used by phones. So far no letters let from sprint. I used about 5-6G a month and sometime less.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
So, if people keep abusing their phone's Internet via tethering, it won't be long before Sprint steps in and does something about it. Using your phone as a primary source for downloads is abusing and is most likely going to ruin it for everyone else.:mad:
[Hero CDMA General] linkinx64:
That sounds like a communist comment :) and I am Cuban soo, If you pay for it, you should use it without restrictions

Wow, and I thought I was going to get in trouble for streaming pandora for a few hours a day. I have been averaging 318 megs for the last 2 months. This is good news if I can go higher, now I just wish I could get Sirius radio streaming on my phone....that would ROCK!
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Wait, so tethering is installed stock on your phone from sprint? I dont think so. You have no problem calling Sprint right now and tell them that you use 5-6 gigs of data tethering your cell phone to your PC? Listen, I am all for tethering and feel it should be allowed at no extra cost but dont sit there and make it out like Sprint wouldnt care.
[Hero CDMA General] Moe2005:
I average about 3-4 GB a month using WiFi teathering occasionally.
[Hero CDMA General] entropism:
And you CAN, by getting the phone as modem addon. You're not, so yeah, nice try.
[Hero CDMA General] linkinx64:
I did not get your point :confused:
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
That is what I am saying...tethering is not supported. It is unlimited while using the phone. Yes, I tether, but I am not abusing it. I don't want to lose that option when I need it... But maybe it ain't that many ppl doing it so it won't be on their radar yet. But 20+ gigs tethering is ridiculous. I tried using my phone this past month to download everything I needed for various things...and still at 4 gigs usage. I just hope they never look at those accounts with 20 gigs...and especially the ppl using 60 gigs. That is crazy! :D What are y'all using to tether all that data?
[Hero CDMA General] linkinx64:
I am not saying to abuse of it! don't get me wrong
[Hero CDMA General] dave3000:
as long as sprint is selling those palm webos phones i don't think anyone has anything to worry about. my wife has a pixi and i don't think she even knows where the browser is on it. yet somehow she uses about 50% more data than i do on my hero. i don't tether often but i'm always on the intertube.
[Hero CDMA General] KyleIsTheBeast:
Just got my bill today, used a lil over 3.45 GBs last month
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
Doubt it. People have been doing it for years. I used to with Windows Mobile.
[Hero CDMA General] notasimpleway:
Yes, but more people are doing it now and if people are using 60 gigs of data...I don't think that will go unnoticed. Maybe it will.
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
As said above, I don't abuse tethering, but I have the app installed so I have it when I need it. Seriously, 60 gb? That is just crazy. What are you downloading?

I barely use over 1gb a month and I thought I was on my phone a lot. I don't tether, but I download all my themes and stuff from my phones browser. As of today I'm at 930479 KB with 8 days left.
[Hero CDMA General] ajones7279:
Doubt more people are doing it though. With Android yea, but not with Sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] JsChiSurf:
500MB last month. Between work and home, I am almost always on WiFi. Only time I'm the data network is when I'm out and about, in the car, at a restaurant, etc.

60GB? You realize thats 1.5MB every minute for a 30 day month?
[Hero CDMA General] sleejay:

answer: all of it.
[Hero CDMA General] ktynchy1:
Idk about that, the contract says you are limited to 5GB per month, i use my wifi tether lightly, last year i tethered like crazy with my blackberry but the sprint rep said they had to stop people from tethering so much since they got too much people using lots of GB each month, i really dont care since i have a primary internet but for school or on-the-road its kool to have it

hi Guys,

i have been scouring the site and i have found lots of info on getting a quick fix on the GPS and which radios work best, i have downloaded lots of radios, tried different roms but no matter what i try, I cant get a fix PERIOD. i have also googled to try and find out if the GPS itself is a replaceable part on the tilt but no info seems to be available, having said that I would definately appreciate any input, i have tried stuff like GPSgate, GPSproxy, HTC GPS tool, GPSTest, VisualGPSce, QuickGPS, QuickPosition and NONE of those tools has shown me what a GPS fix looks like:o, I have seen up to 8 satellites on the HTC tool, they show up and dance around for about 1 or 2 minutes and then dissapear never to be seen again until after a reboot of the phone.:mad:

i have also borrowed a friends Tilt, and placed them side by side, and watched his phone get a fix in about 1 minute, and then stuck around for about 20 more minutes and then finally end the test in frustration.

is the GPS a replaceable part?:confused:

any input would be greatly appreciated

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ashasaur:
My advice to you would be to just keep trying to find a radio ROM that works for you. I recently got a Tilt, and I flashed some odd 5 or 6 radios before I found one that enabled WiFi and GPS for me. Ironically, its the one you are currently using xD.
