[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueflash:
why does my hero boot up in safe mode?

been flashing new roms and some seem to force phone to boot in safe mode, tried wiping phone and all ext all re flashing?

any ideas..
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
and what is "safe mode"? first time i hear of a hero running in "safe mode"...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueflash:
when in safe mode, it seem to run as bare rom no installed apps can be seen and no apps can be installed
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
you do know that a rom can wipe your phone during flashing?

what happens when you try to install an app, why does it not work etc...

edit: i might have an idea, give me the output of these three commands (while your phone is in "safe mode"):

adb shell mount
adb shell df -h
adb shell ls -al /data/
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueflash:

hope the above means something to someone, I've no longer in Safe Mode flash ahearo v4 and back normal for now.

but clues on how to get out Safe Mode as its happened a few time
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
I think most on here (including me) are still confused on what this "safe mode" actually is.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
exactly. i am still 100% convinced there is no such thing as safe mode, and it was just something gone wrong with his phone. but since people just want help and are not able and/or willing to follow instructions here we will probably never find out...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueflash:
kendong2.. next time i get safe mode what do you want? I tried to mount and posted the reply. the phone displays Safe Mode in bottom left of the screen
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
It most certainly does exist!

See here.

Power off and reboot whilst holding down "Menu" all the way to the home screen to get into safe mode.

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueflash:
cheers foxmeister, ive possible got bad button then andits not result of bad flashing as i dont need hold any button down and phone was booting into safe made
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueflash:
:) ive got it out of safe mode your suppose to just old menu and power while it boots.

after many attemptrs got out by removing battery and holdt phone menu and power while it boots completely
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kendong2:
so i stand corrected... good find, and interesting stuff! anybody knows how it works? and how and what for we can abuse it? ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jokies:
Edit: I just give it a try and... My thumb aches really bad... I finally find the watermark. Thanks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I suggest you *try* it before commenting further, because it clearly calls itself "Safe Mode" and it totally unrelated to the recovery console!

[Hero, G2 Touch General] no cars go:
I've been having internet troubles since i got my Hero a few weeks ago.

It seems to jump between '3G' and 'H' when I use any applications using the internet. This means that pages often fail to load/download, or appear slower than 2G connection speeds.

I think this is because I'm in an area which can just about receive HDSPA speeds sometimes, but not consistently, so I was wondering if there's any way to set the internet to stay at 3G and not attempt to connect to HDSPA? When I'm in areas where the best speed possible in 3G, the internet is infinitely faster than when it's jumping from 3G to H and back.

Thank You!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] anarchyuk:
I'm not sure on the phone itself but from a network perspective you would need to ask you phone provider to change your QOS on the HLR (network control and provisioning) to a non HSDPA entry, eg t-mobile uk QOS 1201 = HSDPA 3.6
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
it doesn't work that way (the hlr qos profile). you can only set the maximum speed there, not the RAN technology which is used. i don't think there is anything you can do, the phone attaches to the best server (=cell with strongest signal), and if that cell supports hsdpa it is used for data transfer. as hsd(p)a is only an "addon" for umts i don't think that your connection would be better on the same cell, even if you were able to force umts usage. bad radio reception is bad radio reception... it is not uncommon that a stable EDGE connection works better than a weak umts/hspa signal, have you tried switching to 2g?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] anarchyuk:
of course you can, thousands of sims on networks are unable to use hsdpa because of a low qos, on t-mobile's uk system if you do not provision the web and walk plus SOC on the account the service order does not go through and they are unable to use HSDPA. I dont have a HSDPA qos and I dont get a H but if I use the sim that came with it I do.. best thing to do is give the networks tech support a ring with some times and locations and ask if they can look at what ever reporting system they use and look at network statistics at the time. Best to look at the sgsn;s and look at the stats at that point.

It doesnt matter if the cell supports hsdpa, hsdpa on the cell itself is only a capability to go back through to the msc. a footprint on a 3g cell will keep the closest strongest users when it hits max capacity, if you are on the outskirts you ill lose out.

the more you complain to the provider the qucicker they add some higher bandwidth lines to th local exchange or hub..

Might simply be a congested site, if so it should report itself...

naughty naughty trx
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kendong2:
ahem... hspa is RAN (as in Radio Access Network) technology. it is applied to the communication between the handset and the node b, not anything behind the node b (not sure whether the rnc needs to be aware of it, but that's it, no msc involved). i am not sure whether the simcard needs to be hspa capable, but i have never heard of it. and i do provision sim cards for a living...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] anarchyuk:
You are rightt hsdpa as a technology does get implemented between the mast (node b) and the handset.. what is added between the RNC and the node b is the LUB this is an added control mechanism, this kinda makes sure no data is loss occurs when the node b's buffers are overflowed! this is not a fool proof system, RNC? it could be a SRNC controller,, anyway you are right in what you say but as i have worked within this area i do know that when i was saying "SIMS" I didnt mean the actual sim itself i was referring to sims with old HLR profiles that cant access hsdpa! most pay as you go sims cant on tmob uk this stops them going £1 a day unlimited handset internet and hammering the sim in a dongle!! Im a big fan of provisioning btw! geeky as it sounds the complexity of mass provisioning failures interests me! :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cherice:
I haven't been able to find a guide of sorts for changing from Cyanogen 4.2.14.1 to a stable version of Super D. I know from searching that it requires the Danger SPL, which I do not have currently. If someone could point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it :) Please don't flame me :(
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Flash the radio in my sig. Then Haykuro's SPL in my sig.

The End.

Saw you already have the newest radio, just flash the spl then a rom if you are sure of the radio version.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelo147:
radio and spl are most important and always make sure u do the radio first
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cherice:
Thanks for your replies! So, I assume I can flash both of these using Cyan's Recovery and 'apply any zip from sd card', etc or do I need to flash another recovery instead of cyan's. Do I have to wipe the device first or can I simply flash both of these followed by Super D? Also, I see in reading that some say to wipe my ext. I don't see that as an option in Cyan's Recovery. How would I go about that and if I do it, will I lose everything on my sd card? Right now I have a fat32, ext2, and linux-swap as my partitions.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackknightavalon:
The guide is in the Super D thread.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cherice:
Ok, in reading...this is what I plan to do:

Download recovery-RA-dream-v1.5.2.img and rename to recovery.img

Download ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip

Download Danger SPL spl-signed.zip

Flash RA recovery, reboot

[Alt+W] Wipe

[Alt+2] Wipe SD:ext partition : Wipe the ext partition on your sdcard

Flash ota-radio-2_22_19_26I.zip

Flash spl-signed.zip

Flash Super D

1. Have I missed any steps?

2. If I Wipe SD ext partition, will I lose all the data on my SD Card??? Also, will it mean I have to repartition it?

Thanks!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Wiping ext will only delete the files on the ext partition, not the fat32. It also doesn't remove the partition, only the data.

You don't need to flash the radio again if the information in your sig is correct. (verify in about phone in settings)

I'm pretty sure you have to choose flash update.zip for the spl to flash properly. Remember, flashing the SPL deletes all the data from your phone so if you forget to boot into recovery after flashing it it will appear stuck at the G1 screen because there are no boot files yet.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cherice:
Thanks evilkorn!! Ok. I just finished flashing the new RA Recovery and it went like butter. I reverified my radio and it's good to go. So, here are my final questions.

Before flashing the danger spl, do I have to wipe? Or can I skip it?

Based on your instructions, I will will rename the Danger SPL spl-signed.zip to "update.zip" and flash it from recovery.

Can I just remain in console at that point and flash Super D then do the final boot so I don't get stuck at the G1 screen?

Hi, so I broke the screen on my X1 today its cracked in the left hand corner but on the inside of the screen. Just wondering how easy it is to replace and if this will work ok?

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ale07:
Have you ever opened your X1 before?

There are probably some guides of how to do it, just search. That screen should work fine.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jezza0:
How did you get on? Did you manage to replace it?

I have cracked my screen (only slightly, but enought to want to replace). I have found that I can get a screen and digitizer on ebay for ~16 quid, or I could have it repaired professionally for (gulp) 85 quid.

Just wondered if you were successful, any pitfall, etc.

Cheers,

Joe.

If u google htc battery extender it has a bigger longer lasting battery but it has differnt back cover was wondering if it. Looks silly since i cant find no photos so if anyone has any it wud help. Also what u guys think about it

Cheers
[Click General] Sneaky_1337:
Anyone recomend the battery/ wish i new how much bigger and diffferent it wud look
[Click General] lgstoian:
I'm also interested in a bigger battery myself and I found one on ebay at a good price, 13 pounds.

I don't think there will be much difference in thickness. From what I see in the picture it will add around 4 mm.

My main problem with it is my phone is blue and the new cover is only grey.

hi

anybody know why the nexus one touch is not so smooth lke the iphone?
[Nexus One General] cymru:
It is smooth.

Next...
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
No! Iphone much smoother and N1got better hardware
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
It's smoother than an iPhone.

Next.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Must admit, I don't really understand the question, however there is nothing unsmooth about mine.
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
Its real smooth...

Next... LOL
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
it gose like 10 frames per second and iphone is more like 40 frames per second...
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
Mine seems faster & smoother than the iphone!
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Mines also much smoother and faster, we were doing side by side comparisons at work today.
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
can you give me link to the rom you use?
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
mine is also faster but not smoother..
[Nexus One General] JoshHart:
Thats neat.
[Nexus One General] minogue:
Iphone is plain Wack and boring!

and not as smooth as i have a 2g a 3g and a 3gs belonging to different family members that live with me and ive played with it and it sucks. mine is so much smoother and they all envy me. now what???

NEXT->>>>>
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
Lol = this thread.

He could be refering to the switching between homescreens, thats not exactly the smoothest thing in the stock ROM.. o_0
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
The point is that this is the most retarded thread in the universe.

A) How "smooth" something is, is 100% subjective. To ask someone ELSE why it's not "as smooth" is utterly retarded.

B) Without even giving ***ANY*** sort of specific area or feature (app? homescreen? ???) the question becomes even MORE fail.

Seriously, some people do not belong on the internet.
[Nexus One General] waffle2:
I agree with the OP. Switch between home screens on the nexus and the iphone. On the iphone, the animation is much smoother, even though the processor is a lot slower. Basically, this applies to all of the graphical animations. It's pretty disappointing, IMO.
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
its not smooth (not close even) like the iphone in the browser, when you scroll the apps, and everywhere else...

it is much more nice to "play" with the iphone... i have nexus one and my friend got iphone and we see the defrence between our two devices... mine open faster the apps and everything else but like i said, the iphone touch expirince is much smoother...
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
ohhh... finaly some smart guy.... not like the others (stupid asses)

he is know what im talking about
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
the only time that the nexus 1 is smooth is when there is and income call... then you can see smooth animation
[Nexus One General] bmj1086:
First, +1 on the above post.

Second, wtf kind of phone are you people using? There is nothing that's not smooth. I've never seen anything so quick and responsive. Maybe you have 4k apps installed that are all hanging out in the RAM?

Perfect example, when you get a new sms, you pull down the notification and click the message. Before the notification bar has time to return to the top the message is up and waiting.

So please expand on "not as smooth as the iTool" because it seems more like PEBKAC to me.

I work at AT&T and every Tool there has an iPhone. They hate that my phone is faster, more responsive and "smoother" than theirs.
[Nexus One General] soloxp:
If you want to get smooth form screen to screen...change then wallpaper size. On my G1 the wallpaper didn't move just the icons.

It was smoother and faster then the iphone. But I cann't get it to work on my N1. I don't like the wallpaper to move...cause it use memory to to do it. If anyone still have there G1 change 1 of your wallpaper to 320x480..

Other then that...yes iphone is smoother going screen to screen.
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Just a guess... though my N1 has always been silky smooth and I don't have a lot of experience with the iPhone aside from the two weeks I had with one before cancelling my plan and returning it... but maybe because the N1 is holding more in memory while the iPhone is unitasking?
[Nexus One General] rjhay22:
I'd have to disagree, I just compared my nexus with my coworkers 3Gs right now. Coz I figured maybe the OP was right, and just as I thought, it depends on the wallpaper you have in the background, I use the stock wall papers and backgrounds, and I don't see even a slight lag. The nexus turned out to be better, even in the browser.

Edit: and oh when I overclock its even smoother. Id love to see the iPhone ovevclocked.
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
The only stupid ass here is you. I mean come on, re-read your first post:

How the in the hell could *ANYONE* know that you were talking about swiping between home screens?
[Nexus One General] jamesyb0i:
N1's home screen is definitely not smooth compared to iphone's, swiping from side to side, it feels like there's no vsync, the icons widgets don't move with the swiping motion as well as they do on Sense UI builds, it's a software thing, not a big deal, the iphone has more graphics power to show off anyway so things like google maps have animations where android version does not.

Anyone who calls me a retard or says I probably have 1000's of apps running can save their breath. I'm a computer scientist. And I hate apple
[Nexus One General] djmcnz:
React emotionally on the internet much people?

Heck, it seems pretty obvious that the OP's native language isn't English, perhaps they were just having trouble expressing the subtlety of their specific concern? Some people also seem to agree with the OP. They're not wrong simply because their view doesn't align perfectly with others'.

Senior members need to be more considerate, if not more helpful.

Posed as it was the question sounded dumb, but the effort taken to point that out could have been more helpfully directed at understanding the question further.

In my subjective opinion the iPhone does seem "smoother" in some areas (e.g. some animations and transitions) but this doesn't make the iPhone better or the Nexus worse.

Perhaps the OP could have benefited from the advice that it's actually very difficult to slow an iPhone down (some of its limitations are its strengths) but on the other hand it's actually quite easy to slow a Nexus One (read: Android) phone down (some of its strengths are its limitations). Perhaps this is what the OP is observing?

Let's accept that no phone is perfect and try not to jump down the throats of somebody who claims their Nexus experience isn't perfect?

Just a thought.
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
i didnt said that the iphone is better than the nexus 1 in general, but the smooth touch is an important thing for my opinion. if the nexus one have twice hardware than the iphone and the iphone is much smoother than google failed.

i installed the sense ui on nexus and it's still very "slow"(oposite of smooth)

so i would love to see the android made good version that will have the benefit like the iphone with a smooth touch.
[Nexus One General] shirhh:
you definitely right. i hate apple to but to truth is that from that point of view apple made it much better than google or HTC
[Nexus One General] grainysand:
The Sense UI that's still in alpha stage? And it's slow? Well, who could have imagined.
[Touch HD General] IgorYU:
Is this problem happens to anybody else. I have touch HD with installed KWBR ROM, and even with other ROM miri my phone while talking disconnect, I do have good signal, around 3 lines but almost always disconnect after 30-40 seconds. Does any body know why this happen.

Thanks
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
Have you tried flashing to a different Radio version with matching Rilphone version? by doing this, it could improve the quality of reception significantly and hopefully resolve your issue.

For more information on how to flash to another Radio version, please see this link.
[Touch HD General] IgorYU:
I changed radio, then I changed ROM to original Asia 6.1 and still same thing. Whatever I do, it is the same. Start thinking the phone is bad
[Touch HD General] MasDroid:
If your phone still under warranty? You could return it to HTC for repair, but if you choose to do this, make sure that you flash the SPL, Radio, and ROM to stock.

For information on how to flash back to stock, please see steps you need to follow at the bottom of the page via this link.

You can just download the latest ROM from HTC website and flash it. it will give you the stock ROM on the existing SPL.

I hope everything works out for you.
[Touch HD General] Sean3:
IgorYU, how old is your SIM card? One option may be to pop another sim in and see what happens. At least you will know within 30-40 seconds whether that's the issue.
[Touch HD General] IgorYU:
It is old but not that old, few years max. I will change sim card to see what will happen.

Regarding warranty, unfortunately I buy it used one and it came from Netherlander, so I can't send it there.
[Touch HD General] IgorYU:
IgorYU, how old is your SIM card?

I changed SIM card and nothing has change, same prob

Yesterday youtube stopped playing videos. I can still surf through the videos but if I try to play one it just goes to Connecting... and then eventually fails. I can surf the internet fine in opera and skyfire and get on facebook, so I know my internet is working. I tried reflashing several different ROMs with no success at getting it to work. Any ideas? BTW, I am currently using the newest Artemis ROM but I have also tried multiple Miri and Dutty ROMS and the youtube didnt work either. PLEASE HELP! I love watching youtube videos on the go. I have also tried it with wifi connect and using 3G and both get the same error. Also I can open youtube and play a video in Skyfire so I am dumbfounded on why the Youtube program isnt working. BTW, I am using the a Testra HD2 on AT&T with 3G!
[HD2 General] martouf13:
I read that Youtube recently changed their Flash version that they use. Could that be why its not working this last few days?
[HD2 General] martouf13:
Someone please help!
[HD2 General] martouf13:
Please help guys!
[HD2 General] hollinshead:
I've just tried and mine works fine, try doing a hard reset and see if that fixes it.
[HD2 General] DialecticThought:
Using a registry editor like Total Commander, go to Hkey_local_machine/software/htc/youtube/proxyname and remove the value (probably wireless.cingular.com:80). Save and restart your phone and youtube should now connect. AT&T prevents the use of youtube and this is a work around. I thought mine was faulty at first but found out this trick from another thread.
[HD2 General] martouf13:
I tried this but when I run Youtube it puts the registry back! What do I do?
[HD2 General] hollinshead:
What ROM are you using?
