The last post in there points to THIS thread, with manual instructions for 2.5
[HD2 General] pumafab:
I found while running MP3's with coreplayer while using the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 bluetooth headset, that the sound would play for about 5 seconds then cut out for about 5 seconds constantly.

I then realised it was as soon as I hit the "power" "sleep" button.

So to fix the problem I hit the power button then hit it again so the screen shows the screen lock page. Then put it in my pocket and it goes to sleep by itself but plays the music perfectly.

Not 100% sure why this is but thought I would share it!
[HD2 General] sstrunks84:
This is happening to me with my HBH-IS800 as well. The audio keeps cutting out. I'll try your method and see if that works.

Are you able to control the volume of the IS800 outside of Coreplayer? Are you able to use the system volume or the volume in a player like Windows Media Player to control the volume? I'm unable to and it's really frustrating.
[HD2 General] Shadowdh:
This also works for the wired headset/earphones... even with the "dont stop playing when screen off" fix it still cut out... but following this easy little step it worked...
[HD2 General] pumafab:
I can't control the volume outside of coreplayer really annoying!

I believe we already know that there is a fm transmitter chip builtin to the snapdragon. Does anybody know a way to activate and use it? (I am not a developer but merely a user)

In my country data is not so cheap and not so widespread. Even if it were so, fm radio eats much less battery than 3g (i believe). htc desire seems to have in its specs an "fm radio".

so what about nexus one? can we have fm radio (if not transmitter?) it would be really really nice to have for me. I hate carrying one headphone for my dumb nokia phone to play radio and another for the "smart" nexus one for mp3s..

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da9L:
Hey guys ! :)

I've been around here for many years but have allways been using Windows Mobile phones. I've had a Hero for about a year and i must say that i am very pleased with it. It works so damn good ! I've been flashing roms on windows mobile phones and even created roms my self.

However this Android / Linux world is so new to me that i have no idea what i need to do in order to simply flash a rom on my Hero! :eek:

What i get is that i need to root my device. There are some few guides for this in the wiki but i still do not know if my Hero is a Virgin og a Telus. How can i see this?

Also i see a lot of Linux based talk and commands (i presume) that i do not understand anything of. Do we have any desciption of the most common used commands and such stuff so new people like me can get a better understanding of what you guys are actually talking about? :D

When i learn all this i will edit the wiki with the information. And as i am new it is easier for me to fill in what is missing if you understand ;)

.. And yes i have searched!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nprussell:
Theunlockr.com is an excellent source of information on rooting/flashing your Hero.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Branwen:
Seconded.

And when you're unlocked, check out Villain and Vanillain ROM's (check out previous post), definitely two of the best
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZED_pt:
if you want to know if your phone is rooted download and install "Super user" and run it,you will then know if your phone is rooted or not.

I,like you,was a WM user and found android to be more complicated,but in fact it´s not...once you root your phone and install Amon-RA recovery ( http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=4549551&postcount=1 ) its much easier and simple to do things.

theres a sticky in this sub-forum with wiki-guides,read it!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZED_pt:

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gciochina:
I'm in the exact same situation as Da9L :( . Could you please let me know if flashing a new ROM will also change the Firmware version?

Currently my firmware is 1.5. I've seen on a friend's G1 the voice search widget and I'm dying to get that on my device. From what I've been told, i need to get a newer firmware, but I've got no idea on how to do this.

Any help would be appreciated ^_^
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da9L:
Some questions:

So the short line of the process of flashing a custom rom is when using unbranded htc hero:

1. Downgrade my software to 1.76, as iam using the newest

2. Root the device acording to _this_ guide

3. Perform a backup

4. Flash the custom rom as i flash a stock rom?

Is that it? It leads me to some more questions

What is this "recovery image" and is there any reason to flash a new one?

And why is there any reason to change this at all ?

How do i get danish xt9 for sms?

And please i have a feeling that i am getting this wrong.. Can you please explain to me the procedure of doing all this ? :o
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da9L:
Is there any benefit by flashing a rom?

I mean the stock rom actually runs pretty good and is stable. A custom rom is likely to be a little more unstable than a stock rom, but often give you more speed and newer features. This is when we are talking Windows Mobile, but is it the same here? What are the pros and cons by flashing a custom rom over the stock rom?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
It varies depending on the ROM tbh. It's a bit like the high-tech version of 'how long's a piece of string'? ;)

Really, you're likely to get improved performance, root permissions, user interface tweaks, different versions of applications that are better than the default ones, maybe a custom kernel (if it's a 1.5 release you're looking at).

The custom kernels can have better performance due to optimisations in them. Not sure how much of this is like winmo (never had a winmo phone, all I know is that you are able to install alternative ROMs on them), but with android the core OS is open source, so you get more performance boosts under the hood.

Anyone able to add to that?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da9L:
That sounds great. However, since this is so new to me i do not know what new tweaks and apps i will be able to use and get if you follow me? When i have flashed a new custom rom, propably android 2.1, i do not know what new things it has and therefore where and how to use these new functions. And does the real advantage in a custom rom also get to a normal user or is the advantages more directed at the developers or?

[Desire General] shure2:
apparently someone from the forum emailed them and they are only selling silver devices. if you want a silver device then mpd is one of the cheapest out there!
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
I hope I can get it for free, or sell my G1 to get the cash to cover the handset.

Am not sure about T-Mobile they have some great deals but will the phone be a HTC Desire or a T-Mobile "Random Name" G3?

EDIT: Are the carphone warehouse just putting this on their site to create a buzz, get more preorders?

The tarrifs certainly don't seem genuine, especially when you consider that when you take any android phone on T-mobile you need to take Unlimited Internet which most of these price plans don't have.
[Desire General] nubbin:
Contracts still seem very expensive when SIM-free handsets are selling at less than £400 ( see here - http://www.handtec.co.uk/product.php?xProd=2749 )

A SIM-only deal, 600mins/600texts plus unlimited internet is £15 a month, plus, say, £400 for the phone - T-Mobile's cheapest unlimited data contract is £35 a month x 24, plus £50 for the handset - a total of £890! That's nearly 3 years use on a SIM-only deal after paying for the handset!

Worth saving the pennies, selling the dog, and smashing the piggy bank, IMHO.:)
[Desire General] Teppic24:
In my experience Carphone Whorehouse are generally more expensive than going through the network direct.

Wait to see what the prices are from the network providers. I would imagine that the same deal that you mention, direct from T-Mobile, will have a handset price closer to £139.99
[Desire General] choccy31:
I have an upgrade due on the 25th (day before release on T-Mob) but no idea what the upgrade prices will be.

Also to date, no idea if the 3G issue affecting the Hero will be exempt from the Desire.

Guess time is a wonderful thing and all will be revealed soon.

Hi all,

I have looked through the threads as far as I can, and I can't find the answer.

I have just hard reset the phone a few days ago, and set up my googlemail account and other apps I use.

The problem is that the emails seem to delete themselves after about 3 days,and I can't see why. I've logged onto googlemail from the PC and the emails are all still there, which is strange.

Is there any way that this can be fixed?

Also, a hint on how to change the default signature would be great.

Many thanks in advance,

Chris.
[HD2 General] kilrah:
You looked as far as you could on the forum, but not in your phone's menus ;)

Email tab, More, menu->tools->options, select your account, and fiddle in the settings until you get to "download mail from the last X days", change the 3 to what you want. On the place where you select your account there's a "signatures" button too, for the 2nd part of the question.

Been happy with my Nexus with Cyanogen Rom, but just having a problem with it sleeping:

Suddenly its stopped going into standby/sleep when I press the power/wake button on the top. Pressing and holding still allows me to shut down etc, so its not hardware.

Hey all,

I've had my (Sprint) Hero for a couple weeks now and enjoying being able to mess around with different roms and tweaks but I've noticed something annoying. I've been using task killers more heavily in the past week or two now and it appears that apps will sometimes open up by themselves.

I had originally not noticed it because I've been playing with the phone so much I generally had the apps open a lot from messing around and showing people different things. Lately I've got into the habit of killing tasks. I'll go to pick up my phone and notice my RAM usage is rather high and I find apps running that I haven't opened.

Most commonly I see:

Google Shopper

Sprint Navigation (Decided to just delete it)

Market

Clock (the alarm app appears when I switch to it)

Weather

com.google.vrec (can't remember name... also deleted)

So ... I was wondering if anyone could tell me why these would be opening by themselves.

Thanks

Poorboy you do make me laff!

regarding the apps, i might be wrong but are the apps opening on your home screen?? I noticed that if i closed all apps with a task manager app then when i scrolled through the home screen the apps i have on there seem to take up mem again, (like a weather app attached to the clock) aswell as other apps that are designed to be running all the time like wallswitcher, things like foot prints seems to be running if i have used the camra...

maybe im wrong.. but this is what i noticed.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] bhhandley:
+1 Very cool app. Thank you for recommending it.

Found a bunch of the apps wanting to start after a connectivity change. I believe that wifi and mobile network connections turn themselves off after being inactive for awhile and start up again after the phone is brought out of sleep or at least do it periodically which explains what's going on.
