[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] james_white:
Hi I tried installing the "HERO21 Community (version 1.8)" (see here)on my rooted Tmobile G2 which was previously running the 3.0 modoco rom.

When I started it up for the first time when it finally loaded I got about 15 force close messages that kept reappearing.

I did a nandroid backup before hand but I was wondering how can I get to this seeing as I can't use the adb command prompt because I can't mount the MicroSD Card anymore ?

I tried pressing Home and the Power button but it comes up with a picture of a phone and exclamation mark ?

I can get into the hboot mood using volume down and power but I don't know how I can get to mount the SD from here. Previously the way I got into the nandroid recovery thing was by using this command in command prompt when my MicroSD was mounted "fastboot boot recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.3.1.img"

Thanks

Edit: If it helps I can still gain access to my Micro SD using a usb card reader I have?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] james_white:
Nobody got any ideas or am I screwed lol ?

Edit: If what I said originally didn't make any sense basically I can't mount my SD Card because the custom Rom I've flashed onto my Hero so I can't work out a way to get back to the recovery mode ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] kendong2:
still doesn't make any sense for me. if you want recovery shut down the device, then hold home and push power. hold home until you see the recovery menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] james_white:
Have since solved it by doing some kind of reset which I don't really understand what it changed tbh but I'm not complaining I've got 2.1 on there now :)

Also I had tried home + power but it gave me a picture of a phone with an exclamation mark, Thanks anyway.
[Omnia II General] antonyw:
I have a Samsung Omnia Pro B7610, which is a fantastic machine, but it seems to be missing a few features which my old Touch pro had. But maybe it's me that's missing something! Perhaps someone knows...

I had the Touch Pro running on a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM - can't remember the name of it though. I'd disabled Touch FLo 3D and was using SPB Mobile Shell 3 as my UI - much better than anything else! I'm also using SPB Mobile Shell on the Omnia Pro B7610, and have disabled the Omnia's UI. The Omnia uses WinMo 6.5 (factory installed.) These are the features the Omnia Pro seems to be missing:

1) Keyboard shortcuts for cut, copy and paste. There's no control key so no shortcuts! Anyone know if I'm missing something?

2) Text messages displayed as conversations, not as individual texts. I can't find a setting to control that, but the Touch Pro displayed them as conversations, so I'd expect (and like) the Omnia to do so to, but it doesn't.

3) The items in the Media Player menus, especially the media library, are too close to each other to be selected by thumb-clicking. On the Touch Pro, after upgrading it to WM6.5 the items in the list were more spread out - double spaced perhaps - so they could be more easily selected.

If anyone can be bothered to read this post (!) and happens to know the answers I'm looking for, I'd be really grateful. Thanks!
[Omnia II General] Davka:
Ad.2

This can be changed by almost any tweaker like Advanced Config 3.x or SMS Tweak (I don't have Omnia Pro yet so I assume it uses standard WM messaging)

How can i disable the Omnia's UI? Does not appear in any menu...

Thx
[Hero CDMA General] sirstanley:
I've had my Hero since October. I've been reading these forums ever since I bought it. I keep reading about people switching from one rom to another, discussing battery life changes. Some people are stating they only have to charge their battery every two days, or get 16+ hours of heavy use on a charge. I'm on my 3rd rom, having tried Modaco, Fresh 1.0, and Fresh 1.1. I am now runnning Fresh 1.1 + Gumbo + SetCPU.

I work for Sprint. Advanced Tech Support. I work 13 hour days. I get to work, I turn off the mobile internet connection on my phone. I disable background data. In my SetCPU, I set it to powersave mode Min 245 Max 485. (Those might not be the exact numbers, at work can't check, but you get the idea.) After 13 1/2 hours, I go out and my battery is giving me the >15% remaining warning. I've maybe missed two calls and recieved 8 txts. On my off days, I wake up, take the phone off charge, and do a moderate amount of txting. I play a little music while im playing Xbox, maybe open the browser to check a game FAQ or walkthrough. Within about 3 hours of waking up I'm below 50%. If I'm planning on going to the bar to shoot pool I have to make sure my battery is fully charged, or if anyone is trying to get in touch with my I won't know cause I'm at the bar for 5+ hours txting and talking, and my phone will have died if not 100% charged. So...

I read that running Fresh 1.1+ Gumbo + SetCPU would greatly increase my battery life. Tried it. haven't noticed a change. I don't use task killers, I don't run apps, I think I've downloaded 9 apps from the market in 5 months. I use Shortcovers (Ebook reader). Dolphin browser, Handcent sms. Thats about it.

Is there a viable solution here? Does anyone have any troubleshooting steps to recommend, apps that might help, do a complete wipe and re-install Fresh and Gumbo? Change settings in CPU? I've been reading about Mugen and other batteries, any recommendations on which one would be best to try out? I love my phone, and I don't do anything to it without reading up on these forums first, just looking for any advice to not have to stay tethered to an AC outlet all day. Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
fresh 1.1 + the less aggressive gumbo kernel will help alot. you don't need setcpu at all. i also recommend looking into a bigger extended battery, one that doesn't require the use of another back cover. :D
[Hero CDMA General] daryelv:
It really sounds like you have a background task that is running and not letting your phone sleep. I turn off mobile internet at night (so I don't get bugged with Tweets and other alerts) and my battery drops 3-4% overnight (7-8 hours while sleeping). What is your awake time?

On a full charge, I can go all day (7am - 10pm) and still have more than 30% left. I have 2 email accounts, each set to sync every 30 minutes, a twitter app set to sync every 15 minutes, and I don't use weather or location services. I think a lot of people experience poor battery life due to signal quality. I get really good signals at home and a fairly decent signal at work as long as I say out of the lower (basement) floors.

[Hero CDMA General] zoltar99:
Here's my experience with my HTC Hero from H3G (Three) UK:

Had the phone for about 2 weeks now, battery lasts me easily 1 day with quite heavy use (30-60 min GPS, 2-3 hours browsing, installing programs, 30 min music, some texting and talking. I know that for some of you guys out there this might be 'light' usage, but I believe for all of this, battery life is quite good, better than my friends' Iphones. With moderate use i get through 2 days of usage. I am just experimenting with turning off Mobile Internet, have had the phone running for 60 hrs + and my battery is at 65%, I've been turning wifi on for a few minutes a couple of times and have been talking and moderate texting during this time. I intend to leave Mobile internet off until the battery runs out of power to see how much time I get out of it. I never turn the phone off at night. I am amazed what a big difference turning off Mobile Internet does.
[Hero CDMA General] mkeyslehman:
The OP clearly states that he downloads / runs minimal apps, and asking a Sprint advanced tech if his phone is sleeping, while a nice gesture, isn't terribly practical. I hope. :p

I think that there are certain phones that don't scale with GCK or a change in the CPU governor very well. I have bounced around to every ROM available, flashed and reflashed, cleared boot and dalvik caches and played with about every governor / frequency setting imaginable. With all that, all I can conclude is that my personal phone does significantly worse when the governor isn't MSM7K and drains downright terrible under GCK's stripped governors on anything other than MSM7K. Even Powersave (which OP referenced) drains my phone significantly faster than MSM7K.

I'd recommend you keep your current GCK install and adjust SetCPU to MSM7K to min 245 max 480. Then enable Profiles > Sleep > min 160 max 245. For a bit more performance when your phone is awake slide your normal max to 528; add significant performance by sliding normal min to 480. See if that helps any.
[Hero CDMA General] KBizzle:
Could just be the different experiences folks receive with the Hero but when I used SetCPU to create profiles, I saw much higher battery drain. Once again, may have just been my experience but battery runs much better without profiles on my device.
[Hero CDMA General] sirstanley:
Thanks for the response. And yes, my phone does sleep. I checked Spare Parts, and my most used app is Lightning Bug (use it when I sleep at night. I live in the hood and it covers up the radios and dogs barking.) After that it's Shortcovers (my ebook reader.) and then Handcent. So no abnormal program activity. Lightning bug only runs while I sleep, shortcovers just when Im reading. So nothing keeping my phone awake or anything. I do have one of the first Heros, I pre-ordered and recieved it like October 10th, so it's not Google branded, if that makes a difference. I'm considering just getting another one, but after 5 months of flashing and moifying and tweaking I'm kinda attactched to my phone. I'd feel like I was trading in my wife. So I guess I'll just go for an after market battery. Any more advice would be great. Thanks again.
[Hero CDMA General] mkeyslehman:
Personally I'm on Modaco 2.2. Pulled mocaco.sh and changed the governor from "performance" to "msm7k" and pushed it back to the phone. No compcache, but I did include the internal task killer call in compcache.sh. Read thru either the Modaco 2.2 thread or GCK if you need help.
[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
I'm having the same results as you. I have a non-"with google" Hero200, and my battery life absolutely sucks.

Today, took it off the charger at about 10:30, now at 3:30 it was down to 20% battery.

this was leaving mobile data on and a few text messages.

How exactly do you choose how often you want email to sync? I tried finding that in the settings menu of the Gmail app, but there's nothing there about that, just signatures and such.

I am running gumbo 1.5c bare, so it's quick (no sense UI) but battery is just as bad as with sense.

I'm not running setCPU or anything, just gbhil's kernel (i think?)

I'm about ready to spring for an 1800 mAh battery

dangit
[Hero CDMA General] sirstanley:
Hate to say it, but I'm glad im nota lone on this one. Misery loves company. ;)

I'm gettin tired of reading about people claiming they get 2 days of moderate use out a hero without charging, with a stock battery. "Oh, with this new rom I just tried, after 12 hours I was below 50%, this is unacceptable, I can normally go 2 days without charging." WTF? Did they just build a choice few heros with super batteries? Just wondering.
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
Lol, sorry man (I'm guessing you read my post at one point, 12 hours to 50%, it really did annoy me lol). I CAN get 2 days using Fresh 1.1, gumbo kernel, and SetCPU. Granted, I don't use my phone nearly as much as a lot of the people on here, but I also sit in areas with little to no service for most of my time, which can have a drastic effect on battery life.
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
OUCH. I unplugged mine at 9am, it's now nearly 4, and I'm only down to 80%. Had WiFi on all morning, and mobile on from noon on. Sent a dozen texts, and read a half dozen emails (syncs every 15 min). Mobile data SHOULD sleep when your phone goes to sleep, and I think it'll turn on when your accounts/email sync. Same thing with WiFi.

I'm amazed at the massive variation in battery life people have. I wonder if there were a few different manufacturers of batteries, and that's causing the problem.
[Hero CDMA General] sirstanley:
But I cant even bring my phone into the building so it sits in my glovebox with all data services off and no apps running for 13 hours and its at ten percent when I get off work. I just don't get it. I think I'm gonna wipe, reflash Fresh 1.1, reflash Gumbo, and start over.
[Hero CDMA General] tatonka_hero:
Wow, it sounds more like something might be wrong with your battery.

I could turn everything off on mine, and leave it sit in an area with decent service, and probably get over 2 days out of it...so that just seems odd. Are you running SetCPU? That'll help. Set it at either 160 or 245 min, and 528 max. "On Demand" seems to be working the best for me. It'll basically drop your processor speed when the phone's asleep, and bring it back up when you need it.
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
+1 on this. While I understand you're a Sprint tech, it's still good to check the awake time, as it's a good indicator that something's awry. You said you run minimal apps, do you run any weather apps at all? Had some bad luck with those. Also, do you roam? I know setting it to Sprint Only helped me at home, and this is what you suggest to ppl everyday, so I'm not telling you anything, but some of the things we KNOW to be absolutely true can be wrong under our noses sometimes because we're so sure. Double check everything again.

I know it's painful to think of this as a viable solution, but there absolutely IS a way to determine if it's apps or not. I've had great luck with Fresh 1.1 AND Gumbo 1.5b. SetCPU and Gumbo Kernel made it even better.

Try this: Install either Gumbo or Fresh 1.1, the Gumbo Kernel, and setCPU (that one is optional for you I suppose, but I'd recommend it)

Don't install a single app or widget for the first day. Not a single one. Leave it for 24 hours, and see the battery life. (exceptions for apps that don't run in the background or connect for data or updates)

Then install them one by one until you find your culprit. This is how I found the weather widget was sucking the life out of my hero.

I too, have a non "with google" hero 200, and I have GREAT battery life, and even had great battery life on Fresh 1.1 when I had near 80 apps installed.

I'd bet money it's something in the background. I can speak a lot for Fresh 1.1 as I've used it the most. Great ROM, great battery life.

Btw, I also have two email accounts, one Exchange, one Gmail, BOTH set to "as items arrive" and I still can go from morning to bed on a charge with no probs.

**EDIT**

To echo Tatonka_hero, I also recommend doing the ondemand 528/245 as it worked really well for me. I got even better battery life when going that route than before, although I was never complaining about battery life in the first place.
[Hero CDMA General] Dan330:
my opinion.. it has to be something due to the signal strength.

I wonder if there is a way.. to check and monitor how often the phone looses tower contact? Then it has to try to find the next tower available, then has to bounce back to the closer one when it pops up? Is it constantly, jumping from one week signal to the next?

Which would keep the radio up and running... while the phone itself looks asleep.

Just me guessing.. with no Knowledge to base this off of.

:o
[Hero CDMA General] sirstanley:
I don't use any weather apps. A list of every app I have that didnt come with the phone:

Handcent

Shortcovers

Lightning Bug

Gensoid

GBCoid

Spare Parts

Terminal

ES File Explorer

SetCPU

I know you guys are really stuck on the idea that I'm running some intresting app, but I'm sorry to dissapoint. I wiped the phone, flashed Modaco, wiped, flashed Fresh 1.0, wiped, flashed Fresh 1.1, wiped, flashed gumbo. And then I re-downloaded the apps above. I work 7 days a week, I like to read Ebooks before I go to bed, I use lightning bug when I sleep, and if I'm riding with someone I play my emulators. Thats the story of my phone use. Also listen to music if I take a day off and im playing xbox. Theres nothing running in the background. I always have at lest 3-4 bars of signal strength. I turn off mobile network (data) when not using it. I keep my GPS off. I check Spare Parts, and everything in there is pretty much correct. My phones awake time is about 20%, if that. haven't checked in a couple days. So, tonight I'm gonna wipe, re-install Fresh 1.1, re-install Gumbo, and see if that helps at all. Is there any kind of consensus on the best settings for setCPU to save my battery?
[Hero CDMA General] kmartburrito:
Thanks for the detailed reply...it helps us get a better picture of your habits.

That being said, use the ondemand 528/245 and you should be just fine. Make sure to set it to save those settings on reboot too, because setCPU used to (not sure if it still does) set itself to performance mode on reboot otherwise which would definitely drain your battery.
[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
alright this is probably a stupid question :rolleyes: but how do i check awake time with spare parts? is it under battery history? then is it partial wake usage option?

And is Locale.apk known to be a battery hog...I feel like it might be...ouch.
[Hero CDMA General] regaw_leinad:
It's just under Settings > About Phone > Status then all the way down
[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
whoa. 50% awake time
[Hero CDMA General] zoltar99:
Looks like you guys with CDMA Hero have serious issues with this phone, i realize the european version of this phone, although not totally problem-free, is much much better than the CDMA version, at least in terms of battery life. I hope your issues will soon be solved.
[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
simply by removing Locale from my system, I've managed to cut my awake time to about 20% and have noticed an extreme increase in the amount of time that I can go between charges
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
I've found SIGNIFICANTLY better battery life when I have my phone on Airplane Mode. I only use it when I'm at school because I get 0-1 bar MAX, so my phone uses a ridiculous amount of battery looking for signal when there isn't any. My school day is 6 hours, and at the end of the 6 hours, I've only lost about 1% battery life. I left my phone on PowerSave yesterday with Airplane Mode on, and I didn't lose any battery %. So when your phone is in your glovebox, just put it on Airplane Mode. You'll be happy then :)
[HD2 General] thinkpader:
I just bought my htc HD2 and upgrader to official rom 1.62, i think, released from last january, then i had this bug for sending sms. i upgraded the radio, twice, 2 versions, no way,

used the official rom, then three roms of the best cookers her, thanks to them for all the work

But, no way to send the sms, i receive instead something from my operator telling that i'm using a bad adress, something like that.

I read all around the site, and this seems to affect just some users.

but from another side, someone with the same issue desactivated the sms function with shap's utility, and solved it.

i don't know what to do, please help, is this a hardware issue?
[HD2 General] Richy99:
have you tried getting the settings resent from your network provider?
[HD2 General] zeroSIXzero:
It's not the normal sms bug you have. You have a problem with the settings.

Contact your provider and ask for the sms settings.

Or visit the a shop that have this provider and the HD2 and ask for help.
[HD2 General] thinkpader:
Thanks for the replay.

When i started with the phone, with Orange france, i think i was able to send some messages. but then i updated to several roms to hope resolve the problem. i'm receiving areplay from the provider just after sending every sms saying 'your message can't be treated else you have no credit, or you use a destination non authorized!!!!"
[HD2 General] thinkpader:
i cheked the parameter for the server provider, it's ok. nothing wrong on this side. Really strange to buy a handset 550$ and to be without sms function, i regret really having sold the Iphone 3Gs, at least i could do the basic things.
[HD2 General] zeroSIXzero:
As I wrote, it is NOT the sms bug that is making problems on your phone.

Because with the SMS bug, the SMS never left the phone.

If you get a message from the provider, then it is the provider making problems, not the phone.

So either the telephone nr is wrong, or the settings or some strange thing in the ROM when used with your provider.

I suggest you test with another SIM card. Borrow a SIM card from a friend to test. Test both with the same provider and a different provider just to find out. Also, if you post what provider you use, maybe someone here can help U with correct settings.

But I agree there have been to many bugs on this phone. I had much less problems with the Touch HD, but HD2 is so much faster that i prefer the HD2.
[HD2 General] zeroSIXzero:
U should also contact your provider with this problem since they are making the problem.
[HD2 General] thinkpader:
You are right!

Here is what i did.

i have another sim card from another provider, i switched the two sim from the two phones, and when i use the new sim hd2 configure automatically the settings. then i send the message from the HD2 to other handset with the faulty sim-provider-config or whatever. the message is delivered in 2seconds! so definetely strange thing here.

I cheked the setting - number for sms server, it's ok. back with my principal sim on hd2, and again no way to send the sms. really strange!!!

thanks anyway for the good help. i appreciate

I need to know if Android supports MIDLET,J2ME or jar.

for me this is a crucial factor to switch sides since Android is strarting to grow on me.

thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
No native support, but there is a J2ME emulator: http://www.netmite.com/android/

There's also a .jar to. apk converter linked on there, dunno how well it all works though.

Hi Guys,

Just installed Panoramic LaunchPad on my Omnia and its working great..!

It is similar to Samsung TouchWiz UI,, But it is faster and less memory hogger..

It overides the start button.. so click on start it launches the LaunchPad.

See the screenshot on the below link..

u can shut off start button replacement

just fyi, you can disable that start button override in settings for launchpad.

I am excited to see who is going to be the first of our in-house chefs to cook up a 2.10 based ROM, now that the shipping ROM is here, we can see it really shine with all the TMobile junk is stripped away. :D

It's fun to get that new phone feeling all over again, ain't it?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] xmoo:
That would suck, you need to test ur roms before releasing.

If anyone releases it today, I won't flash it :P
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] donalgodon:
Where's your sense of adventure? ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] bobsbbq:
Who cares? Xmoo is right new ROM's have to be tested and in time all of the chefs will release ROM's with it.
