My sentiments exactly.

Quoted from the Facebook message I received:

"Just a reminder that our event is tonight, look forward to seeing everyone! The event is all-ages and open to everyone, so please feel free to bring your friends.

We're also giving away a couple of hundred gdgt iPhone cases and t-shirts, but you'll have to get there early to get one!"

T-shirt could be OK if it's black.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
Nah. They're prolly iShirts. Which means pink. Or didn't you know that pink is the new black?
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
someone ask htc if their gonna fix the dust under the screen defect on the hero's! :D
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
Lol, so far, there's a line of one.Me.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
lol...not much action huh? a bit disappointing. ask them when 2.1 is gonna drop for sprint. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
You're already there? Damn, I have to stay here until 6 then go home to South Austin and pick up the wife. She actually WANTS to go, which is surprising. Then fight traffic and try to park. See you around 9 (lol)!

EDIT: Save me a pink t! (JK)
[Hero CDMA General] kkruse:
Why did I get here soo early?
[Hero CDMA General] scriz:
lol, i looked on the list of booths on the sxsw site and didn't even see htc..i wish i coulda went! damn being from ohio. ;/
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
Well, I just got home from the event and have to report that not only did the 2 guys manning the HTC booth NOT announce any new phones but they were also tight lipped when answering my questions.

I asked one guy, "Where's the WIMAX phones?" and his reply was, "I'm sure some other company is making one. Don't believe everything you read on the internet" I walked away in disgust, well... after playing with the Legend demo phone that they had.

The HTC table was nothing more than a long table with a white table cloth thrown over it and several demo phones available to play with (after all, what more do you need?). There was a Hero, a MyTouch, a Legend, a Desire, a TP2, a HD2, and a Nexus One. The HD2 and Nexus One were awesome to finally play with but I was really taken with the look and feel of the Legend.

So... I went and tried to talk to the other guy and asked him if the Nexus One was coming to Sprint? Of course, he said "I'm not sure". I asked him what new phones were coming to Sprint... again "I don't know". AAARGH!!!

On a good note, it was nice to meet tejasrichard and I'm sad I didn't get to meet kkruse as well (maybe you had better luck interrogating the HTC guys?).

Oh, and the GDGT t-shirt was black.:D
[Hero CDMA General] CandyElephant:
I was at the event today in Austin. It was actually pretty lame. HTC had a table with their new phones. No big announcements.
[Hero CDMA General] lorsoblu:
Haha, wow watzone, I believe I was standing RIGHT behind you when you asked that question tonight at the gdgt party, cause I remember hearing those exact words :D Didn't know there were so many xda folks there.

I asked a few of the same questions, mainly about when we would be seeing the Legend and Desire stateside. Of course, they had nothing to share. Apparently the guy with the glasses is one of the HTC people that maintain the Twitter feed, cause when I was talking to him about 2.1 on the Hero he said, "Oh, so you are one of those very passionate people who I hear from a lot, huh?" They did tell me we should expect to see a good bit of improvement with 2.1 though. Their words, "Most of the Legend's quickness (they agreed that it is pretty much following in the Hero's footsteps) comes from coding improvements, not just the processor boost, although that helps too."

And I'll put it this way, when I pushed a time frame on them of two weeks for the release, they didn't say "no." ;)

Also, anyone else that was there, did the Legend actually seem... slicker than the Desire? Maybe it was because the Desire had that live background sucking down resources, but the Legend just seemed to work better.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
I, for one, thought the legend was slick as hell. I have to say I think I developed a little phone-crush. It looks so much better in person than it does in the pics, and the unibody feels nice as hell.

hey fixxer, I asked them about the dust issue. here is a re-enactment of the events:

me: "So, what is HTC doing to fix the dust issue?"

HTC Guy: "What dust issue?"

me: "Um, the issue with getting dust behind the screen?"

HTC Guy: "You're getting dust behind your screen? That's wierd. You should take that in to sprint and see if they know anything about it."

me: "....."

HTC Guy: "....."

HTC Guy: "Wow, there sure are a lot of Hero owners in Austin."

*I'm not sure if he actually said this at this time, but I must have heard him say it 10 times, so this is about as good a place to throw it in as any*-
[Hero CDMA General] kkruse:
Yea the wife and I split early. I went right to the HTC booth and saw how crappy it was and the fact they had 1 sprint hero and NO one was touching it. Everyone was oo and ahh over the nexus 1 which is duh out already. They were so tight lipped about the update w/ me as well. ;/ After that it just left a bad taste and we left. Most everything else I had seen or didnt care. The 20 booths of iphone accessories as if they are the only thing on the planet xD.
[Hero CDMA General] watzone69:
That's funny! I kept looking around at the people milling around the HTC table wondering how many of us were XDA members.

I heard both of the guys mention how surprised they were that there were to see so many people using the Sprint Hero. Maybe they will realize that the Hero deserves a little more support than it has been given? Probably not.

I also mentioned to the other guy (bald, tattoo, no glasses) that it seemed a lot more people were playing with the Android phones than the WM (although the T-Mobile branded HD2 was getting some oohs and ahhs). He said that he thought the WM phones were getting quite a bit of attention although he did admit that most people thought the HD2 was running Android.:rolleyes:

Kkruse, sorry I missed you. My wife was bored to tears so we left pretty soon after filling up at the buffet and grabbing a Buffalo stress squeezy.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
I did see some pretty neat stuff. There was something called a pogobox that was pretty awesome. And slingbox is coming out with an Android app for streaming tv your phone. That one ran VERY smoothly, even over 3g. Also, for any of you themers, there is new site called Aviary that is supposed to to have free PhotoShop-like editing tools. I played with a little acer netbook that was pretty sweet.1080p hd video, with hdmi out. 220 gig drive. Lambo red finish. there was more. But a lot of what I saw seemed to be settop boxes for streaming online content. And most of them seemed to be pretty similar. Sadly similar.
[Hero CDMA General] kkruse:
nod.. I dont want to buy another box.. I have netflix, tivo, ps3 and xbox... it'd be nice to stream my tivo to my phone or netflix.... but Im not that crazy about the boob tube. Most ppl spend their time on tvs I spend mine in hobbies and gaming...
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
The pogobox was cool. Basically, people that you choose to share with will have the ability to download content, or even stream media, from folders that you select. There was more neatness to it, but I can't remember it all.

G1 DREAM (really is a dream, right now, a little bad one a little embarrassing)

been 5 mos since I took root via Cyanogenmod's latest G1 stable and last theme was PHRASh Then I thought about checking out

some other themes and clockwork orange caught my eye... Orange is my favorite color, so wehen I saw there was some Orange theme I must've had a dare encounter with myself-- i recall actually installing the Orange theme..... when i asked the phone to flash the theme, it went into permanent G1. Gave it about 12 minutes. Rebooted into recovery (home menu power) and then did what I think got me in deep droid doo doo -- I attempted to restore to my last backup whch was the day before (and ironically the BEST backup i ever made I had it all humming so nice and fast) Guys -- instead of hitting restore to last backup... I actually hit nandroid backup. I know. That was a really bad day and its been a worse 50 hours. I know -- and Ive learned -- OK?

Since that time.... 50ish hours Ive lost track of what Ive done, but its a potpourri

bootloader is dev spl skateboarding, recovery is Cyanogenmod JesusFreke 1.4 recovery.

DREAM DREA100 PVT 320

HSPL10.95.3000

CPLD-4

RADIO 2,22.19.361

OCT 29 2008

SERIAL0 -- (fastboot i have fastboot as well)

at first flash of bootloader it says "NO IMAGE FOUND!"

If I press Home when it restarts in perpetual cyclical hell I get into CMJF recovery. I have executed every single option numerous times -- and have not been able to successfully flash anything else -- and now I dont know WHAT to flash. I even tried to go back to root!

If I dont press Home or Camera, I get this....

the awful permanent G1 screen. Forever and ever.

I have Wiped backed up, tried to get update.zip and just about ANYTHING into my sdcard but I dont think they have been successful installations to flash. I am not ADB enabled yet. Surely someone knows what this is all about and I am willing to take a flame for posting in the wrong forum if I can get something out of this, I will pitch in later and help y'all keep these forums in workin' order!

every optioon on the recovery screen which is recovery CM and JF 4.2

When I try to load files according to the instructions in xda and cm i cannot get it in fast enough on the g1 running on the frozen G1 screen because I dont known the time of mount the SDCARD has and when it begins (I know it opens for a while and then closes)

So i got droidexplorer and its almost impossible to get the file in there. I can get it in, and see it, and reboot the phone (and computer)( restore usb connection and I see the update.zip on the sdcard. Then I unmount the phone and reflash and it says something about not being able to find the file.

Whats next? Please dont assume I know what I am doing, I am sure you can tell -- but I am really good at following instructions!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] androidcues:
Hello anyone?

I have been up all night trying to fix this phone and i am still not able to do so. I

I cannot get into recovery anymore ------

i am stuck on the hardspl and I have found fastboot again. But I cannot use frastboot if I cannot get any commands into it. Anyone?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] androidcues:
ok i get it -

thanks for the help guys! I now have my phone working at a blitzing pace and i am leaving it alone for now. I dare myself to leave it unchanged for a week. Thanks mostly to one of the Dudes on Cyanogenmod.com -- who helped me piece together the missing parts.

Actually -- let me summarize even if only I am reading this

Androids levels of defenses are 1. HardSPL 2. Recovery and 3. normalcy. Lose normalcy (Ok, a beauty of a ROM) you have recovery to get the ROM back -- but the trick is -- can you get the necessary IMG file on your SDcard to update.zip with? Can you figure out ADB and push the update.zip? Can you figure out Fastboot and what it REALLY does and what you can and cannot do with FB? If you can do any of these or FB with ADB, then you have a good chance. Just dont lose the HardSPL. If you give up after frustration and while grinding your teeth waving a white flag, flash the DREAIMG.img file, then you have given up root and FB. But at least you are at RC29, the level where the froot can be found. It is weird hanging out in Android 1.0 lemme tell ya. Feels so 1980'ish with bellbottoms in late decline.

But now its android time at CM with Phrash.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sprockets2000:
Hello folks, I know ill have no problems flashing the phone to a new rom (not worried about bricking it) but one thing after searching these forums I havnt found is how hard is it to go back to stock if you dont like said rom

I dont even know why I am flashing it, my phone works great, seems snappy enough but im one of those types of people that just has to toy with things.

So id just like some information for you guys first what i asked above but also why do you use custom roms does the phone work better, all I read about is apps not working? is there an added benefit to flashing?

Most important to me though is how hard and the steps to revert back to stock

Thanks alot
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obelisk79:
Well, all you need to do is download the stock RUU which will return your phone to it's original factory settings. There have been a few people who've encountered an error running this utility to retorn to stock but it has been very rare and has only affected a small percentage of the population of hero owners. Worse-case scenario, you can try and get a warranty replacement or use your TEP plan if you are enrolled in it.

I find I enjoy the phone more with a custom rom for several reasons. It feels more responsive and usable, also I am a true gadget-head and tweaking customizing and playing around with my phone is just in my nature. Android as a platform is well suited to this kind of mentality and is even encouraged.

Of course there is also the current situation we are in that we are able to run a newer version of android than what is available from the manufacturer at this time.

Then you can get into custom themes etc etc.

This app is what the app store should be in conjunction with appbrain.com. I just found it tonight but man it is awesome for those of us always looking for cool new and not so common apps.

It also has recommended apps on the site. The app mainly syncs phone with the website and its all FREE CLICK HERE for the site.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ryan_gza:
Sorry guys, if i am postin this in the wrong section...I have searched and searched, but I still havent found an answer.

My problem is on my TyTn, before i had some other cooked ROM, and since my TyTn is not from the carrier I am using (switched from Rogers, to Fido>>Canada), I have a a data plan with them. On the previous rom i had, manilla2D or something like that, all I had to do was select my country, Canada in the Connection setup, and then choose my carrier, and then my internet would be set up.

Now..... :(

I have upgraded my Rom to "Pays_WWE_305_Final_Full" and when i go to connection set-up, Canada is not there. Fido gave me an APN, username+password, and primary & secondary DNS. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong.

Can anyone please help me, I currently paying an extra 25 bucks for this but i can't even use it. Is there like a patch or any of the sort to just upload to my TyTn so that I can have these settings; Location: Canada, Carrier: Fido...? :confused:

Thanks in advance.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jola66:
Ive read that MS Voice Command is suppose to be able to announce through the speaker, however, I have not been able to get this to work. Ive tried both of the last two options, Through BT if available, if not speaker. And Through speaker

I sent a test text message to myself and all I got was the ringer noise through my speaker, no voice announcement.

I do not have my BT headset connected, but I have BT turned on.

Is there another setting im missing?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] miked79928:
I think you need to enable these options in the settings, personal, voice command. When you click on messages, click on notifications and uncheck the box for announce high priority messages only. This should work.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Jola66:
That did it. I wasnt aware you could change options for each selection. Thanks.

This is my first time using Voice Command really. Pretty cool though I wish the lady talked a bit slower, louder, and didnt sound so damn androidish. I use to have an LG phone several years ago that had built in Voice Caller ID, which worked extremely well. It would announce loud and usually clearly. A bit robotic too but not as much as this one.

Hope MS makes further strides with this technology.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david1171:
Basically, I would like to know if there is a way to power on the phone without having to use the power button.

My power button is a POS and when I took out my sim card to put in my G1, so I could talk and screw around with my N1 in peace, then I could not get it to cut back on. After about 30 minutes of pressing the power button/removing and replacing the battery, I was finally able to get it to cut back on, but I don't have my sim card in it. So in the interest of being able to use my Nexus One until I am able to get it fixed, is there a way to cut it back on without the power button.

Thank you for any information you may have.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] krazybuffy:
I have an htc magic 32a.. i had already dont the engineering spl and all that. Got 2 files from curserdroid in zip packages one with the new radio and another with the new spl. Keep in mind that i was also using amon ra's recovery or whatever you call that. The thing that you boot into and update zip packages.

I went into that updated the zip package with the new radio and now its just going through a constant boot cycle and wont let me go to the recovery. When i go inot fast boot mode it does however acknolage that the radio has been updated, still need to update the spl as well.

help me please, god forbid that i actually just threw away a good 300 dollars
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KAwAtA:
you're not even close to bricking it. You can get into fastboot which means you're fine. Plug in your USB,

go into fastboot. I am assuming that you have all these image files in C:\AndroidSDK\tools

fastboot flash hboot hboot-1.33.2010.img

You also don't have the right recovery image anymore. Download the hero recovery image and then

fastboot flash recovery nameOfTheFile.img

and if you follow cursorsenses instructions, WHICH YOU SHOULD HAVE

fastboot erase system -w

fastboot reboot-bootloader

In the future, learn to FOLLOW instructions, and I would recommend using fastboot for radio/spl changes.

If you read carefully instead of just going on a flashing spree, you would've noticed that the radio update would REQUIRE the new recovery. Therefore, you would not be able to get back into recovery to flash the SPL

Now I'm having problems logging into Google. It won't log In. Even when I switch to the regular CyanMod...I remember that his ROM didn't come with the Google Apps...but when I reboot...the Google Apps is still there.

I'm really confused! :confused: Why is my phone not being wiped properly?
[Nexus One General] MatMew:
Wipe data, wipe dalvik, reflash.
[Nexus One General] SiNJiN76:
Yeah...I do that...but when I reflash...I still have the theme and addons.
[Nexus One General] hypersonicx:
Yeah I also have a feeling that wiping in recovery doesnt actually wipe everything.

As for getting the login to work, flash the gapps zip which is on the cyonogen page with his rom. Dont do any wipes just flash the gapps zip which is file gapps-passion-ERE36B-2-signed.zip to be exact and it will let you login with google. I had the same problem after flashing cynogen rom coming from Desire rom.
