Okay. Thanks for the reply.

Something I want to do is get rid of all the crap I don't want, including but not limited to:

- all demo stuff

- the music files that came on the phone (artists: Chris Hawkes, Pacha Massive, Sidestepper)

- AT&T Navigator

- WorldCard Mobile

anything that is not related to phone, text, email, internet, my photos and music from my card, Facebook, stocks, weather = rest of it gone

I was reading in the sticky threads on how to do what and was still confusing and it scared me from doing anything to this phone, but I know I need to do things to clean it up and make it run better

Can anyone give me an idiot, idiot, to the supreme idiot guide on how to do what I need to do?

1. Upload ActiveSync to my laptop (not done yet) (my laptop runs Vista 64bit)

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

All I want to do is make the phone run better and fix glitches, and not have any glitches in doing this.

Thanks

:)

After I do steps 1 - whatever,

should I install hotfix for unknown caller id and freezing SMS issue

yeah it was a help thanks for the reply, but it wasn't a help.

as you see above, i haven't even put the activesync software on my laptop. so after i do that, what do i need to do first to get that crud+scraper and other things on my phone?

idiots guide please :confused:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] osualum78:
what i need to do in what order is very confusing to me. all of this is confusing to me

i just want my phone to be less bloated and work properly with no issues. i think i have seen the caller id issue and not sure if i'm still getting the sms tree issue i saw on phone #2 i just replaced
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] subterran:
The order is listed.

Hi again,

Yes, go ahead and get activesync on your computer 1st thing

then, Look at post #9. Do it in that order.

The .net 3.5 mentioned can be found here:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...49-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385&displaylang=en

Just download that, and run it while your phone is connected to activesync. It will put .net 3.5 on your phone. Next, copy the 3 files for crud scraper onto the phone somewhere you can find it, like my documents (on your PC, you'll need to right-click, copy, then right click, paste). Once the files are on the phone, just find the folder you put them in and click on the 'poop' icon. You can then clean off all the crap you want by checking the boxes.

So,

#1 Get activesync

#2 get .net 3.5

#3 run crudscraper

#4 I highly recommend SPB mobile shell. (google it) It just makes much easier to navigate the phone. There is a free 15 day trial.

#5 any of the other apps I mentioned are good.

That should get you started.

subterran:

any thoughts to my homepage/message tree issue that occured with #2, and mow occuring with #3 phone I currently have? Thanks :)

the phone would default to SMS tree view (view is found by going to messages in touchflo and selecting 'All Messages' from the bottom left.) Would move TouchFlo to Home screen (my background that shows clock, date, etc.), hit the power key to power save, hit power key to power up, and then on SMS tree view, not my home screen. Didn't matter how long after I manually put phone in power save, it would still not default to homepage screen. Only consistently did this when I manually used the power button to put in power save. When I locked the phone and put in power save no issues, or it was random. When the phone went into power save by itself after my 2 minute delay, the issue was random.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] anstosa:
Although I loathe Macs in all other respects, I have become increasingly jealous of the MacBook Pro trackpads. Since the Nexus One's screen is about the same size, it would be a perfect replacement for mine. I have looked at RemoteDroid and GMote but neither of them support multitouch [two finger scroll and middle click specifically] and both run over WiFi whereas I would prefer Bluetooth. Anyone know of a decent alternative?

Thanks

I just got PhoneMyPC and it works great. It does multi touch, and even has a live interactive view of your PC. It at a special $9.99 beta rate now.

Sooo Ive heard....

Will see.. hmmm
[Hero CDMA General] Diplomat2387:
This is exciting news but I'm not sure if I would immediately buy it...I'm doing fine with my hero now...With all the new ROMs being released, my phone is faster seeming that I flashed it..
[Hero CDMA General] athlet1c:
I guess its just wait and see. sounds promising though
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
I'm with you... my Hero is running great now... but I wouldn't mind an N1 still ;)

I just want to hear a confirmation from Google, Sprint, or HTC on this. Then I'll believe it.
[Hero CDMA General] ricersniper:
even if it does drop, im going to hold out for the supersonic.
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
I agree. The supersonic is sexier in my opinion plus WiMax is a nifty thing for the future. Hey, if I coud get ANY phone to work with Sprint it would be the Nokia N900 but since that aint gonna happen I'll wait for the Supersonic.
[Hero CDMA General] theraginasian:
Supersonic is really only going to be relevent if you either plan on moving to, or already live in a WiMax area. The average two years that it takes for us to rotate through phones will surely be passed by the time one gets "anticipated" WiMax coverage.
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
Works for me since i live in baltimore where they rolled it out already.

On another note though, I thought they specifically said the N1 was not coming to sprint at the launch. In that articile I don't see anything saying its coming to sprint, only what networking it supports. Not sure where the whole sprint thing is coming from. Doubt the N1 and supersonic would be coming to sprint.
[Hero CDMA General] tokuzumi:
I will definitely do a serious comparison of the Supersonic, and the Nexus One, should this thing really come to Sprint (I'm in Atlanta, so I'm covered for WiMax). And if the rumor of Sprint wanting to use Wal-Mart stores for 4G tower locations, this should help make WiMax available almost everywhere on the eastern US.
[Hero CDMA General] swaze:
http://www.phonearena.com/htmls/HTC-Supersonic-phone-pa_4382.html
[Hero CDMA General] Philosophy757:
I saw that also. My next upgrade is not until November, so I'm looking forward to getting something with WiMax. I live in Hampton Roads, VA so not sure how long it will be before it's rolled out here though.
[Hero CDMA General] imb951:
+1 waiting on Supersonic. Here in Atlanta, Sprint's 4G WiMax network was the first in the country.

Call me spoiled, but I don't think I can go without SenseUI, especially on a platform with a rumored 1ghz cpu.

I'll be just fine with my Rooted and (soon enough 2.1) ROM'ed Hero until the Supersonic drops.
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
True true, as long as the Supersonic does WiMax, EvDO, and they don't cut out 1x, I'd rather have that than an N1 ;)

We have WiMax here in the DFW metroplex, so no worries there. The only reason not to get a wimax phone is the possibility that a carrier in the US will deploy an LTE network and kill interest in wimax, hehe.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Well WiMax has not rolled out where I live & it's hasn't been announced as one of the locales that getting WiMax soon....
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
More clues to a Sprint Nexus One: link.
[Hero CDMA General] ELIMINATED:
So the Supersonic will only work on the WiMax and not on the regular 3G network as well? That's kind of stupid since WiMax is only in limited areas. So that means if you travel down the road to an area that doesn't have WiMax and have a break down you're screwed. Want the Supersonic, but I'll stick with the Hero.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
No, it would have WiMax, EvDO (most likely) & 1x. It won't make sense to have WiMax only.
[Hero CDMA General] dcdave63:
Also, don't forget to take into consideration that Sprint Premier customers were moved to new phones every 12 months, and that they are trying to move most customers to that plan.
[Hero CDMA General] theresthatguy:
it would be pointless for sprint to release two almost identical phones. It's not gonna happen.
[Hero CDMA General] Sirchuk:
While I like my Hero, if the supersonic comes out I'll pick it up and pay full price if I need to and sell my Hero. Faster CPU, WiMax support (I'm in Portland, so I've got it) and a 2.1 ROM? I'll pay the $500 for it..

I can't say the same for a Nexus though. The draw of WiMax is pretty huge, especially once the devs root it and enable wireless teathering..=)

Supersonic with WiMax + WiFi Teather + Notion Ink Adam with Android = Win for me :D
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
I'm waiting for a quadcore i7 based phone with 8 gigs of ram to come to sprint... I believe it will be called the HTC Imposter
[Hero CDMA General] deadonarivalry:
Same here. I'll definitely take a serious look at both though.

Same here, but I really like Sense a lot better than vanilla Android.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I'll probably wait until the SuperSonic gets rooted before getting it, but I should be aproaching my upgrade point around then (paid my bill on time ever since i got my contract in November... so just a matter of time until I'm a premier member!)

EDIT: can someone clarify if the SuperSonic is slated for a full keyboard, or just on-screen?
[Hero CDMA General] Sirchuk:
I think that it's on screen, but we can't be sure. The screen redners, if accurate, they don't illustrate a keyboard. Again though, we don't even know if the pictures that have been leaked are actually real or not. At this point, it's all speculation until we here of an official announcement from HTC.

When can we get a new phone? I started with Sprint the day the Hero was released and I've paid on time every month, am I up for a new phone before the 1 year period?
[Hero CDMA General] esoteric1311:
LMFAO!!!!:p
[Hero CDMA General] chuckhriczko:
Other names HTC is considering are HTC Poser, HTC iWish and HTC HellNo! Reports say so at least ;)
[Hero CDMA General] mattcoz:
That's the same clue.
[Hero CDMA General] theraginasian:
omg i didn't even realize this happened yes thank you!
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
After 6 months Sprint will automatically move you over to the Premier tier. Thats what they did too me at least.
[Hero CDMA General] BhRaElEfD:
can someone explain...

Why the Supersonic won't have an AMOLED screen?
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
So, several people on this thread have been speculating that they'll use their Premier upgrade to get a Supersonic or an N1 if/when Sprint gets them... I thought I'd just throw in a bit of advice.

Remember that the Sprint Premier upgrade is ONLY $150 off of your phone's full price and it does require you to re-up for another two years. It's not a full rebate like when you buy a new phone or open a new line. Just $150 off.

Keep that in mind ;)
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
actually Is_907

that is incorrect. what sprint premier is, instead of the standard 24 month contract, 22 month upgrade eligibility, its.

24 month contract, 12 month upgrade eligibility for THE MAIN LINE on the account. You still get all your instore discount, rebates for mail in etc.. and any other number on the account gets 25% off of all accessories (bluetooth, chargers, cases etc...)

im a sprint employee, and its something we explain daily to the customers.

but you can typically only get this discount at a Sprint Corporate Store, so bestbuy, third party dealers etc... wont work.
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
Dang, man, tell the corporate webmasters to update the wording on the Premier pages lol.

On the MySprint page it tells me I'm eligible for $150 and if I click on the details about Premier link it says "Up to $150 off."

I like it better your way, of course ;)

If I take advantage of my premier upgrade I can still do the buyback/recycle program with my old phone, right? THat's an instant $125 for the Hero right now (probably less by the time I do it, though.) Probably still better to sell online heh.
[Hero CDMA General] david_ag:
I do understand the $150 off is bull.. and bottomline you will get the same price as new customers (exactly what you stated) but, (and I'm asking out of ignorance because I don't know), doesn't it add two more years to your contract?
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
yeah, theonline explanation is horrible. we get sooo many customers coming in saying I get 150$ off a phone thinking its 150 off the ticket price (which is after all discounts) or off retail.

so you still get ALL the discounts, and yeah we can buy back ANY phone as long as its not active on a line. The buy back program is pretty good depending on the phone, some we may only give like 10$ for a phone that costs 80$

but the prices are a supply on demand, the phones we buy back are either parted out at a store (like mine is service and repair so we use the parts) or they are sent to a warehouse to be processed and the parts are then distributed to other stores.

but if the parts are not needed, or if the warehouse already has an abundance of those phones then the price will go down. Id say the hero price should be pretty firm for awhile because at my store, we have seen less defects in the hero then almost any other phone (aside from sanyos, they are built like a rock lol)

and yes it i 2 year contract, but it DOES NOT ADD, it just starts over a 2 year agreement from that date of upgrade.

for example, say you have 6 months left and upgrade with premier. you wont have 2 years and 6 months, itll be just 2 years again.
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
@samrozzi: Thanks for all the explanation!

Actually Gazelle.com does electronics recycling (I've sold stuff to them before; really good) and they offer $225 for the Hero right now.

Anyway, it's all a moot point until Sprint is carrying a next-gen Android handset (=
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
no problem :)

and wow Gazelle.com so its trusted?

the buyback rates are amazing.
[Hero CDMA General] Sirchuk:
Gazelle is one of many. Shop around when selling your phone. I've used SimplySellular in the past as well. They don't offer as much for the Hero, but they offer more on other devices. Don't just sell all your stuff to one place. Just like when you buy, when you sell you've got to shop around.

If the supersonic comes out in say, 3 months, and I started in October, so I'll be at 6 or 7 months into my 2 year contract, I can't renew and get a discount or anything correct? Not until I'm at the 1 year point?
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
ok thanks, and yes correct, you cant say I will renew or anything to get a phone discount until your at that 1 year mark, unless your not premier than 2 years for you.

so basically wait the one year or pay retail
[Hero CDMA General] FoxRacR17:
Is_907 is correct, but I just wanted to add my personal experience. I'm sprint premier and I was able to go to Best buy after my first year and get the full $150 dollar off price on my Hero, plus the instant rebate of 100 off, then they best buy lowered the price again by 30 if i remember right within the first month so I just went back with my receipt and they credited back the difference on my CC. I'm buying all my phones from BB from now on.
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
Like samrozzi already said, you only get the full upgrade price at a Sprint Corporate Store...
[Hero CDMA General] FoxRacR17:
Did you not read what I wrote? I GOT the full upgrade price AT BESTBUY. They looked in the computer, saw that I was eligible for an upgrade, got the 150 upgrade off, and 100 MIR off instantly.
[Hero CDMA General] myth_mn:
I also got a full upgrade from Best Buy with my Hero... didn't have to deal with the mail in rebate crap from the Sprint stores. Also they even sold it to me before the phone was supposed to be released, the sales guy just said, just don't tell anyone at a Sprint store until it's official on sale.

Not going to buy another phone from a Sprint store again, it's a hassle dealing with the mail-in rebates and restocking fees. You don't pay either at Best Buy.
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
that is great!!! for u!!

I am on the sprint employee family plan... have to go through their online order!

Many times, I see that I can get the phone outside of Sprint for cheaper and deal with rebates! (hate rebates)

But on the brighter side.. I have a better monthly rate!

:D
[Hero CDMA General] gu1dry:
That's not the full upgrade price....
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I got my mir price in store at sprint.didn't mail anything.
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
My wife lost our rebate checks, is there a way we can request new ones? Sprint employees care to chime. in?
[Hero CDMA General] samrozzi:
if you lost the MIR check, try going into a sprint CORPORATE store NOT THIRD PARTY, get them to try calling the rebate department, or if you wanna try at home, just call sprint care, or sprint finance department.

also a word for any customer thats having trouble, like say your wanting to upgrade and your within 14 days of the upgrade, go into a corporate store and see if they can push it there, if the employee cant, tell them to call NSS (National Sales Support) it a number employees can call and NSS can push an upgrade if its within 14 days.

ad if your really far out, and wanna test your luck, depending on the store and the stores budget and how they are doing for the month, try to upgrade early and ask for the MIR instant. but go AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

typically my managers will have no problem waving them if we have budget money left at the end of the month.

the best way to get MIR instant and get discounts, is go at the end of a month to a corporate store, and if you add a line or looking to upgrade MULTIPLE lines they may be willing to wave fees (depending on budget etc..)
[Hero CDMA General] mercado79:
Not sure what you mean by "full upgrade price". If I was a new customer, I'd get the phone for $179 (after Mail-In Rebate).

If I was a normal Sprint customer at the 22nd month of my 2 year contract, I'd get the phone for $179 (after Mail-In Rebate).

As a Sprint Premier customer, after 12 months, I would also get the phone for $179 (after Mail-In Rebate).

Are you just saying it's called something different, because the end result is the same price.

As for not being able to go through Best Buy, I too can attest to getting my Hero there for $179 (the $100 was an instant discount). The first Best Buy I went to told me they couldn't process Sprint Premier customers; however, I then called a couple others and they said it was no problem. When I finally got to the store, the rep couldn't see that I was eligible for early upgrade in their standard system, but then said, "hold on, let me try this other system". I wish I could remember the name. Voila...she saw I was in fact eligible.

My fairy tale doesn't end there though. A few days later, they were offering $50 dollars off the phone. I went in and they credited me the difference. Then on Cyber Monday (30 days after I'd bought the phone), they were selling the phone for $69.99. The rep said they couldn't match that price and that it was BestBuy.com only, but the manager said it was no problem. Price adjusted...and done.

The Hero was great at $179. At $69, I felt like I had hit the lottery.
[Hero CDMA General] Is_907:
That is a fantastic story. However, I can trump it.

I got a free Hero because when I took a new job my employers gave me a Palm Pre (had been out for a week or two at the time.) I moved to TX, dealt with how awful the Pre could be (crashes, hardware failures, locking up, headphone jack frying).

Took the thing to the Sprint corporate store three times. Kept hearing the Sprint reps saying I had to be ready for my fifth Pre replacement before they could change me over to a different model.

Assistant manager, however, worked on my phone on the third time it was to be replaced (6th time I had come in, though.) He just walked up to me holding a Hero box and said "This is what you'd rather have, right?" I smiled and said "Oh yeah." Ten minutes later I walked out with a free Hero ;)

Okay, I think I've sufficiently derailed this thread.

How about an N1 on Sprint, eh? (=
[Hero CDMA General] obelisk79:
we need a functional 2.6.29 rom to make that happen correctly.

Edit: back to my dungeon....:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] david_ag:
Thank you so much for this great explanation, I've had this doubt forever. Very good to know :D
[Hero CDMA General] viigox:
In my opinion i would say no N1 on sprint. i work for the company and the gizmodo news was based on a model number that someone in the company posted online (apa9292) which everyone thought it was the nexus becuase it was wimax and had a snapdragon. however i can tell you that that model numer is the supersonic. so in short the rumor from gizmodo is in fact refering to the supersonic. hope i cleared this up for you.
[Hero CDMA General] GarrettFoster:
I used to work at Best Buy in the Mobile Dept. The system she used was probably called SNAP. And as far as price matching it is typically a store by store (ie manager by manger) policy. They are supposed to match most any price (there are exceptions). If they don't I can give you a few tips.

My problem is Skype on Windows mobile you have to use a headset. Does anyone have experiance with this?

Is there a special set of headphone we need to use with the HTC Dongles or something along those lines? Thanks a bunch!

please help !!!!

it wrote me if i recall right :

INVALID MODEL ID
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
did you install HSPL before trying to install the ROM?

no i didnt try to install anything !

no i didnt try to install anything ! , just started the intallation file ROM arabic-english , and did what i asked to do !
[HD2 General] fadiheno:
if i didnt install hspl what can i do ?

can i take the device to the shop i bought it from and use the warranty ?
[HD2 General] EddyOS:
well, no...did you get the file from HTC direct or off here? your phone could be vendor locked to your provider so if you can get the original ROM that was on your phone you can flash that back on...

you should really read into things before jumping in at the deep end...
