[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodjob:
Hi All,

Sorry for this kind of thread, I know that they are not really liked here but I really need advises :-/

I'm the happy owner of a HTC Hero from T-mobile in Germany.

I've been a very happy HTC Diamond user for over a year and flashing to newer ROM has bring me a lot (many many many thanks to Yozgatg :-) )

I was actually wondering what would really bring me an update to 2.1 with HTC layout, I think the vilain ROM has such thing)

Honestly I'm quite happy with the actual ROM from T-mobile and I'm not sure what such update would really bring me.

I hope not spamming but even If I've read lots of thread I think it would be great to exactly know what is the actual benefit of such upgrade.

Thanks already your kind answers :-)

Regards,

Dodjob

PS: Android rocks Hell!!!!!!!! *even for a ****ty n00b like me :-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Da9L:
Well at least i share this thought .. :D

So now you guys have two noobs that would like an answer to this :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psyed:
And I'll join them too. :p

I'm also wandering wether or not to root and 2.1 my phone. As said, the stock 1.5 rom is rather good. And knowing that every 2.1 rom has some problems of it's own just blocks me makeing a decision
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shenye:
if you havent rooted already, root it NOW, before you get upgraded to 2.1. It will probably have a perfected SPL, which will prevent even goldcards.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPasta:
With 2.1 roms you have the new market with preview images like in the apple appstore and bluetooth filesharing. This are the things you would recognize first i think. The htc sense has some new features and some new graphics. At least i would say you have to try it yourself, because there are some things not working at the moment, for example battery needs to be charged nearly every day (bug with all 2.1 roms).

But you have another posibilty if you don't use it already. There are some optimized 1.5 roms like SenseHero oder Modaco. These roms are bit faster than the original from HTC.

AND with the Custom rom you don't have the T-Mobile branding anymore ;)

(my english isn't very good, sorry for this. if you want some more information maybe i can tell you some more things in german about it. just send me a pm. but i can't tell you for sure if i can answer every of your questions ^^ )
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I do generally concur that it is probably wiser to root now, and install the final 2.1 update via an update.zip (which will likely drop minutes after the update is posted on the HTC website).

However, whilst I do expect the official 2.1 updates to include a perfected SPL, there's no specific reason to believe that you wouldn't be able to install an earlier RUU (with the same CID) against a 2.1 build - though it is better to be safe than sorry! ;)

Also, the goldcard "mechanism" isn't an exploit per se, it is specifically designed in, so I'd imagine it won't be removed by an update (though it may change!).

Regards,

Dave
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dodjob:
Hi All,

Thanks for your replies :-)

It seems unfortunately that the 2.1 is still not really usable (with the drain problem) this is saaaaaaad :-/

I will see if I will take the risk to root it or not.

But again as far as it is now, I really like it and it works flawesly so loosing the guaranty to get preview in the androidmarket and two or three themming tweaks..

Danke Ipasta für deine antwort. Bin kein Deutsche ;-) aber wenn ich noch fragen habe werde ich dich denn die zuerst direkt in MP stellen :-D

Wie du es siehst, ist mein deutsch ned sauuu gut aber naja.. glaub dass wir uns trotzdem verstehen können :-D

Sers und danke noch mals ;-)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo Cortex:
Is this battery drain with 2.1 only on the Hero or is it a generic problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gu1dry:
Just a heads up, with the Sprint Hero, once you go to a newer RUU base, you're unable to go back the older RUU.

So it's completely possible, you will not be able RUU the phone with an older RUU once you go to 2.1.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GearX:
I updated on BeHero 2.1 Firmware yesterday and I have to say: THIS ROCKS :)

Only thing is that I just don't find how to send Files via bluetooth or if there's any possibility of rooting 2.1 :confused:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indie12:
My nexus one has got some problems with its physical properties, gaps between backplate and the metal case and such, so i have just booked a repair, but my nexus is rooted, since there is no software problems surely that wont make a difference right? my warranty for its physical characteristics should still be in place and they shouldn't even turn it on?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deprecate:
Well it is fairly common knowledge that using a custom kernel can cause the phone to develop gaps at its physical layer (layer 1). It's basic OSI understanding.

Best of luck!

Hallo everyone,

I have problems with a radio on my prophet. I can use my smartphone as long as I want, but if I enable radio, the device resets, freezes or shows some stripes on the screen.

I have Prophet G4. Different radio and WM roms were used. Is there any hardware hack or something?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] blovesm:
hi,

I just flashed My devise and liked the Rom. But when I made a backup, which is from another rom, Background of the Lockscreen changed into some ****. I mean the screen where the Numbers are and where I Must enter My passwort to unlock the devise.

Does somebody know how I can change that? I tried to copy the folder "Lockscreen" in windows into My storagecard und put it there again after My backup but it didn't change anything.

SO help me Please.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
If you restored a backup from another ROM you will likely have many more problems than just that, depending on the differences in the builds.

It is never a good idea to restore system files from a different build, even though the backup program will say it can do it, it can- just not correctly.

PIM restorals can also hose up Manila

**Also, this post belongs in the general section or your ROM's thread as it is not related to ROM development.**
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] blovesm:
But how can I corrext that?

Which file(s) Must I correct?

Help please..
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Pisca:

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jur1nator:
isn`t exactly for powerpoint, there is no mode for the programm in this app.. but thanks , if nothing workd, i will try it :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Nafi33:
You can use it as a mouse so you can click to go next in the presentation.

Isn't that what you want?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Jur1nator:
but aren`t there like special programms for powerpoint?.. for example a little view of the next page, or a little field to put on little notes and so on? :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pongster:
in PowerPoint mobile 2010 there is an option for that. it asks you to download a software from microsoft.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] philiplaw:

[Desire General] lambrospower:
hey i am just gonna upgrade to Android and i have a question cause i am coming from the symbian world. Let's say i am talking to a friend via phonecall can i search my contacts or view some pics or see my missed calls my messages or do something else in general without putting the phonecall on hold or end it. Just do something else and talk at the same time!!! i can do that in symbian , , ,will i be able to do it in android ?
[Desire General] deprecate:
It works fine on the nexus, so I would assume it would also work on the desire; assuming this is functionality that sense allows :)
[Desire General] shaneaus:
During a call just select the "back" button till you get to the Home screen. Then you can access anything as usual. If at any time you need to return to the "Call" Screen select the green call button.

This is how it has worked on every ROM I installed on my G1 from 1.5 to the 2.1 based ROM I currently have installed.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Joe_PDA:
We just had a very bad storm in NY. Since then, whenever I get within a few blocks of my office, my TP shuts down completely. I have to soft reset it to bring it back to life. Then it tries desperately to find a signal, quickly fails to and then shuts down again. If I leave phone in flight mode, it doesn't shut down and all other functions run fine. so it must be some type of radio or tower issue.

Even if we lost a cell tower here, could that be causing this shutdown?

I've tried 2 different batteries thinking it might be a power problem, but they both

react the same.

Any idea what the cause (and solution) could be?

or does it ONLY have 3g/4g data plans *ONLY* :(:confused:
[Windows Phone 7 General] Chainfire:
Wi-Fi is a required spec, according to the leaks.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Kloc:
It been stated the the devce will back up your data overnight while charging via wifi on your home network so of course it has to have wifi to do so.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
It's not a leak when they post the info themselves. http://live.visitmix.com has the keynote (which explains a good chunk of it) and the sessions (not all are posted yet but will be) explain pretty much everything else. Most of the platform details can be found in this session (video not up yet but powerpoint is).
[Windows Phone 7 General] hyellow:
since MS is heavilly copying Apple, I bet they don't even have proper bluetooth support....:p
[Windows Phone 7 General] bedoig:
Wifi sync on the Zune HD is great. It'll be nice to have that integrated into WP7 as well. I just hope that the Zune store is accessible over 3G and not solely through desktop sync or WiFi. It would be awesome to have access to the full catalog of Zune music from wherever I am, but they have hinted at the possibility of only allowing access via Wifi or through the desktop.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RustyGrom:
Well, devs don't get access to bluetooth :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] Chaosstorm:
As well as micro sd support lol, i might upgrade my xperia in a year with an HD2 to be sure it has windows mobile 6.5 :D
[Windows Phone 7 General] JediFonger:
if wifi is available, then forget 3g/4g data plans!!! i plan to just buy the phone and use it as a 'computer' to access/sync w/cloud whenever wifi is connected. otherwise it's just another phone/media player to me.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Musicman247:
They will have to have good bluetooth support for Ford SYNC! :p
[HD2 General] bashulaojia:
Hi guys,

I am totally fed up with HTC's twitter client Peep. It doesn't auto-update correctly - does when it feels like it, same with the tweet tone. It also seems like it couldn't care any less about my "download last 50 tweets" restriction. Every morning, I end up downloading some 200+ tweets that have accumulated over the night.

Hence the big question... is there any way we can replace Peep with another twitter client and have that new client linked to the Twitter tab in Sense?

You'd be able to use another one but as to editing Sense - I don't know

Is there a way to connect two phones together, either with bluetooth or wifi and have the camera from one display on the other?
[Touch HD General] xiamilo:
i think you need to hard-reset your mobile phone...i mean first you shut down your device and then push down both the vol+up and vol+down button and press the power button until a 3-color screen shows up... then release both vol buttons and push vol+up button to reset, then your system will go back to the first time use condistions...

caution!!!! remember to backup before you do.!!!!

Don't do it.
[Touch HD General] Chrissssssss:

[Touch HD General] Svegetto:
Do you mean something like Skype?

And for this to work via bluetooth the phones would have to be very close to each other since bit rate drops for bluetooth the further you get away.
[Touch HD General] Chrissssssss:
I assume Skype needs net access. Was wondering if it exists (or is possible) for two phones to be connected directly in the same room/house.

Wanted to check something in one room while doing something in another and thought a remote display type thing using two WinMo phones could be handy.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orelsi:
Agreed about the 9.5 I find that the pluses outweigh the minuses in this particular case.

SkyFire was pathetic at the beginning, but is getting better with every update. Too bad it doesn't have multiple tab support, yet.

Mini annoys me for some reason.

- New IE in WM6.5 is actually really good, but is SLOOOOOOOOOOOW

- Opera already installed (probably you mean 9.x) dont support HW keyboard

- Opera mini dont have zoom setting (only font size which corrupt lots of pages) and dont support javascript.

- OM10 is really close to perfect browser, but when you click link or back button, there is no indication that it started loading, so you dont know if you actually clicked it.

Anyway, my choice is OM10.

AFAIK Mozilla said that they wont develop browser if M$ wont open platform. Which probably wont happen.

I'll get some sort of random bug, and it causes a total freeze to where I have to pull the battery to restart it.. But then once I do that, the phone fails to reboot, in which I have to restore the firmware (factory data wipe + delete dav don't help).

It could be working fine for a couple of days, then all of a sudden this happens and screws everything up? Is this to be expected early on since it's development, or is there something wrong on my end?
