3G problems

I've had 3g problems with this and 5.22..

When i'm having 3g networks enabled my phone loses singnal in some point. showing x in singnal bars. and lockscreen says no service. i have no clue what causes it. i can't call or do anything else only switching to "use only 2g networks" restores my singnal. i'm using latest radio and have tried previous one too. this is really annoying since it loses singal without warning and nobody can txt or call to me.

sometimes it starts with that i can call to noone even singalbars are still there.. and i have to switch 2g a or 2g and back to 3g that resets situation.

I'm using Saunalahti in Finland. otherways these 5.2 and later roms are incredible good.. but as you can guess this is quite killer problem to me..

oh and yes i've flashed rom just like told.. wipe'd all and flashed fix too and then started phone..

E: and just to add.. with 2G only selected it never loses signal
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] raecarter82:
Unfortunately I've gone back to 5.2 my sense keeps fc'ing and it stuck on the villainrom on-screen but the weather sun animation was happening then couldn't do anything?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jUsT2eXy:
Did you flash it properly?

Worked for me straight away.. what did you do?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Louis62:
Flash the rom/Flash the fix..

My partition is ext 3.

Thank's
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:
I can't download anything from the market. Whenever I hit install nothing happens.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
So what's proper procedure to get GPS working now? I'm already running the latest radio. I tried the turn on GPS and reboot trick, no joy.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] matejudo:
I just solved my GPS issues that have persisted through several versions of VillainROM. I solved it with a simple dalvik-cache wipe. The thing is I was never able to wipe the cache before with Amon Ra v.1.2.3. Now I updated to the latest version of Amon Ra and wiped the dalvik cache without problems. I don't need to reboot the device anymore to use GPS, nor does it burn through the battery after I'm done.

Hope this helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
I wiped my Dalvik cache before installing, so I don't think this one will fix my GPS issues :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheoKondak:
Good job!Its my first custom rom on my new Hero and i love it!Its a bit chopy but i think i can get used to it!The main problem i face is that the gallery is not working very well.Some pics are not rendered for some reason.

by the way,GPS is working OK in this version?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patko226:
I like this rom... good job man....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Only English? :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
No, not for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
the gallery is not working properly beacause of the wallpaper patch you aplied. if you install only the ROM(without the patch) there will be no problems at all.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:
I'm not getting the orientation bug on the 3D gallery but it does happen on the Cubed music player. When I change orientation the album art gets messed up.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] themonkster:
A little Help Please.

I've just installed this ROM from a clean wipe and I love it.

I've never used that Apps2SD on my other ROMS so a bit of help is needed.

I've manage to flash RA-hero-v1.6.2 recovery image after about an hour of messing about. I came from Cyogens 1.4.

I've partitioned my SD Card to 512mb. I think this will be enough I don't have loads of Apps.

Now i'm stuck (I hav'nt downloaded AppstoSD from the market yet)

Do i have to select SD:ext2 to ext3 then ext3 to ext4 or none of them ?

This is in the recovery screen

Could you help me in the next process please ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
again, i had the same problems when i flashed the wallpaper patch. After i reflashed again without the patch, i'm not getting this kind of problems.

the ROM is smooth and fast without any unusual issues, as a ROM should be for everyday use..THANK YOU!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
you should use ext2 or ext3 only! does not work with ext4.

you are not supposed to download APP2SD from the market. Its included inside the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] IVBlindfireVI:
The only think not working for me is the news widget and app but besides that everything is awesome.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] X-Ter:
Actually I reflashed without the wallpaper patch because it was slowing the phone down a bit. The orientation bug isn't there for me in the 3D gallery but it is there in Cubed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mantrajt:
Thought

I would really like that my Hero will work when left horizontaly!!!!

Anyone knows how this can be achieved?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] matejudo:
I don't think Sense UI has this functionality, just vanilla Android.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] crazygil:
thx man and u all are my hero

will flash and report bugs if any
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheoKondak:
I don't think i installed any patch.I just installed the ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
I reflashed my radio (with GPS on) and still no GPS for me. Out of ideas :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patko226:
for me, gps work perfect....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] patko226:
try GPS widget and turn on GPS....
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
I did. It says it's on, but it'll never get a fix.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] themonkster:
How does this work then ?

Do I need to activate it ?

I've installed some apps and they are going on my interna memory.

Do I need to copy some files or move anything ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
OMG ITS QUICK, when going from 3.3! :eek:

NICE!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Louis62:
Even by putting the fix,app2sd doesn't work
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
i installed all my applications using titanium, and than applied the fix, attached.got again 150MB. that means it worked for me.

Found out something even more interesting...after few installs, every time the fix applied, the free internal memory going back to 150MB. It means that you can install as many application you like, with theoraticly no space limit(depends on the EXT free space)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] suibianlo:
Anyone realised that after you flash the live wallpaper fix, you get fancier animations switching between windows? Like from home screen to messages list, from settings screen back to home screen etc etc. Too bad gallery performance had to suffer.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] de39:
This version of Villain works much better without the patach for the lives wallpapers right ?

It's a pity
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pitel:
My experience

I did complete fresh install this morning, after wiping everything expect SD card data (so, factory reset, dalvik and ext was wiped). The ROM runs great.

What works:

Mobile phone making calls, using 3G (HSDPA) data connection, SMSes

GPS after reflashing radio. Doesn't matter if phone boots with or without GPS enabled

WiFi absolutely no problems with that

Camera but some fine grid is visible in image :(

Speed it runs pretty fast, almost as fast as MCR

Market no problem with that either

Apps2SD just works (ext3)

YouTube video playback is a bit choppy, but it stream fine

What DOES NOT work:

MMS After using sqlite3 or mmszap tricks, I still can't download content of messages :(

Locale english isn't big problem for me, but imperial units instead of metric on maps sucks

Theme just tiny issues (eg. try to drag icon from desktop over remove button and watch the corners of that button when it glows)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] themonkster:
How do I use appstosd ?

I've formatted my SD Card using recovery mode, i've copied the apps and dvlik cache to SD card still using recovery mode.

Rebooted and still my apps go to internal memory

Am I doing this completely wrong ?

Help would be appreciated.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Pitel:
Just format SD card (without swap, just ext3 + FAT) and reboot. Apps are copied to SD card by apps2sd (so the first boot will take some time). At least this worked for me the first time, and works since then in every ROM that use A2SD.

Re: [ROM]24/04/10 - VillainROM 5.3: Release Version - for GSM HERO

It is sweet.... Not that quick as 2.1JIT but quicker than modaco. Using for almost 24 hours and so far no bugs.

Now I will need apps2sd working as got only 30mb left. Reading here theres some issues with it.... Is there any guide how to do it step by step? Never done this before so I am a noob now. Other question is as I got a lot of apps installed already and some of them might store some data on memory card should I reinstall everything after enabling a2sd?

Lol:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Smallguy17:
Is there a way to get original "home screen bottom thingy" back?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] genich1971:
reboot, go into recovery and apply fix from post #3353.

i meen u should flash the fix and reboot again.

Looks like 5.3 still has the facebook contacts sync problem, i.e. not more than 100 people in the people app.

But the speed is amazing :D

Edit: Facebook sync works fine if you give it time :-D
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danltn:
This was a bug in the previous version(s?) too. There was some analysis on VillainRom.co.uk I think.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] petsasj:
I didn't have a problem with that in 5.2 but i do now.

Anyone got an idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheoKondak:
Well i reflashed ROM 5.3 without the extra pack and still i have the problem with the gallery.Some pics wont render.Any idea?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] yellowt:
I have a problem with low space on phone storage. with 5.2 the icon was not in the bar but now it's there.

The only change I made is flashing 5.3.

How can i solve this?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] themonkster:
I think all my apps have gone to my SD card.

My internal memory has gone back up.

Now all my app links have disappeared and widget icons.

Do I need to do something else now ?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Danltn:
Try clearing HTC Sense cache.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wawalker:
Thanks for making such a great ROM. I just want to add a problem to the bug list. The google navigation does not display the navigation map after the live wallpaper patch. I think it is better not to do the live wallpaper patch since it will produce the gallery display problem as well.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] obbe:
I had the same problem. To solve I re-flashed the Villain5.3.zip (no wipe or whatsoever). After this everything worked like I never flashed the live wallpaper patch.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] TheoKondak:
i cleared cache.Now it leads the old good app to preview photos.Its not fancy as the 2.1 one but at least works like a charm!

Hope on newer versions those bugs will be fixed!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mikepheng:
Re: [ROM]24/04/10 - VillainROM 5.3: Release Version - for GSM HERO

Yee, I hope there's a update.zip to fix this.

[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] JFenlon:
Not sure if it's a problem with the rom or with the latest version of Autokiller but my settings don't survive a reboot now. Every time I open the program after rebooting I'm greeted with: "You seem to have no tweak applied. Do you want to select one of the presets? (select 'Moderate' if you are unsure which to choose)" and the values shown are default.

Once I've applied it, it seems to work, but until I do I'm not getting any benefit from Autokiller after a reboot.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] eatmydave:
So does maps and live wallpaper work now, or just maps?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] mitchel1993:
GPS

My gps doent`t work:confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
turn on gps and reboot. It seems if you turn it off and reboot it will not get a lock...so just leave it on all the time. You can also download 'GPS test" from market to see actual satellites being tracked, sometimes it takes some time to get a lock but gps is still working.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] scouzer:
I've tried all that. There are definitely some GPS issues in this ROM. Mitchel is probably suffering from the same problems as me.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] odin13:
Re: [ROM]24/04/10 - VillainROM 5.3: Release Version - for GSM HERO

Yes, just install the fix / update, reboot and apps2sd will work just fine ( as long as you've got ext partition )

SU Blank Screen

Hey,

I dont know if this is reported or if its just my phone but everytime I open an app which requires SU Permissions, I get a blank screen with the title saying SU Permission. Has anyone come across this?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This zip stops the old 'SMD Port error' we saw in version 3.4 (the other CDMA port)... It makes DMAgent work on our phone. Basically, it removes a constant logcat error, that reduces battery life.

It's a no-brainer. Just flash it ;) I've done it, as has the OP of it... It's fine, and I know the changes in it, but can't explain exactly how it works. It's basically a new boot.img with some ramdisk changes to init.hero.rc

The exact changes can be found if you click my username and look at my previous posts. There you'll see the instructions on how to make the update.zip, including the actual changes...

HTH
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tkm89:
Ah, yes. I vaguely remember that. Thanks for clearing that up :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] BigD18t:
i cant install titanium backup in the first link, it keeps saying parsing error anyone have an idea on what i can do.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] rdgut:
Can anyone post any screenshots of the theme this rom has?

I can't flash it to my phone because I need it this week but all the posts about it do have me interested.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
I have already ported SenseVillain to 5.0 if anyone's interested. I can upload it later tonight.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
That looks interesting. I'm planning to get a theme collection going on the villain forums. If you post a link, I'll sort out hosting for you on our mirror servers :)

Edit- BTW, are the issues in the contacts pages when enabling and disable sources fixed (ie. the options turn black)? I think it's just a theme bug, as nathan agrees...

Cheers,
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] shaxted:
Just curious as to how the +1 dialler troubleshooting is going?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Higgsy:
Yes Please Tristan - get it up, been waiting for you to port this, and as ever you are right on the ball
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tristan202:
Never realized that there was that issue. I will look into it before releasing it.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
Cheers,

You can see it if you go

people > menu hard-key > View

Then you'll notice the boxes are all black and you can't see what each option is. But, if you hold your finger on them, you'll see what it is. Theme issue...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Redpizzi:
what does the yellow an blue arrows ment to be - i thought they were sync at first but they have been on for 8 hours now...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] garethwwain:
Just flashed and I have to say it is really quick - not just Rosie but everywhere!

One thing that concerns me is it is not Sense2, it is the same as the original Hero sense. I mean it doesn't have the new browser functions, contact integration, and large widgets for email, twitter, and friendstream from the Legend rom (also everything looks a lot nicer too)- all things that I think are a massive improvement on the original.

If this is what we will be getting in the official Hero upgrade I just really hope that Nathan continues to develop the Legend rom aswell as or instead of the official Hero rom when it comes out.

But this is definately the fastest 2.1 rom available and shows that the Hero can run 2.1 as fast as 1.5.

Thanks and I really appreciate all the hard work on all the Villain roms!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Geeum:
Hi guys, I hate to ask this but I'm really confused ...

To me a new version means improvement from the previous one. 5 > 4 so my first guess is that V5 would be better than V4.

However, this doesn't seem to be the case ...

Can someone help me ?

I have a problem in V4 that no one seems to share is that when someone calls me, my phone takes several seconds before showing anything (caller ID, ...), the buttons don't respond and sometimes I miss calls because of that.

well, any advice would be welcome.

Geeum
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] 123belly:
Phew its not just me then.. I'm now wiping, reinstalling, letting google sync with everything, rebooting then adding Faffbook and Twitter account to see if that helps.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] lordofcamster:
Great ROM! Thx a lot !

Is there a chance to get the ROM in Multilanguage?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
I believe that V4 has this issue, but it is solved in V5...

Why not nandroid and flash 5 and see if you like it. This issue apparently is resolved. :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] jens.bergqvist:
That is indeed the sync icon but it gets stuck on every reboot. What's actually happening with the sync process I don't know. However, if I go to "Accounts & sync" and disable/enable "Background data" and "Auto-sync" it seems to settle down.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] nerval:
anyone know how to hide sim contacts? Don't seem to be able to do that? If thats the case, I guess I'll have to do a nandroid backup.. Don't want to have all my contacts duplicated!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] pulser_g2:
This is a CDMA rom with no ability to remove sim contacts, as CDMA phones have no SIM. You can use an app to put them into google contacts via CSV, then delete them from the SIM.

Be aware that a nandroid will not back up sim contacts (not sure if that's what you meant???)

I've poked around in com.htc.resources.apk for a while now. Simply cannot find that darn image.

My GPS seems to work fine without booting with GPS on

More, it works even if i boot with GPS off

More and More : no battery drain

Just a detail : my radio Ra dio ROM : 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

I used this ROM with Mdc 3.2 .. but it's the first time i use it with a 2.1 Sense ROM

Previous times i uses 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26 and battery was draining with GPS which worked only if ibooted with GPS on.

Try 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29 and tell us if u've same result as mine

A+

Jpq
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] g189ffin:
Thanks it worked!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] g189ffin:
One of the ways to improve the rom would be to reduce the lag on the keyboard! It's crazy!! I press a key and a second later it responds. Sometimes it takes about 2 seconds and gives me the alternate key! Apart from that this rom it awesome!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
deleted my post...
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Migishu:
I posted this on the Villian forums, but thought I'd crosspost here since there seems to be a higher community here and someone else might now how to fix this problem I'm having.

I'm having a problem with wireless broadband where it'll work fine the first time it's used after the phones been rebooted, but if I turn it off and back on again a few mins later, it fails to load up. From what I'm gathering, it seems to be having problems turning on the radio (I use the quick switches on my desktop, and I see it struggling to change the icon from gray to green). My guess is that it hangs when trying to turn off the antenna, and any access to the antenna gets cut off until I reboot the phone.

My APN is fine, and it worked fine before using any 2.1 ROM, but since using Villain 3 (I'm using 5.3 now but as a history), I've not been able to successfully turn on my broadband antenna twice within 1 boot.

I'm currently using the latest version of the radio.

Try turning off tactile feedback.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] tepss:
Thanks... worked for me ...

Interesting. Thanks for sharing. I think I will try your suggestion right now.

Anyone Here which is the best Plain Villain 5.3 or Apply the Live Wallpaper Fix? is that slow and buggy?

BTW This is a nice rom. I'm excited to this than the official 2.1 update
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wawalker:
I think you should apply the live wallpaper fix only if you really really want the live wallpaper. Otherwise, it is running very well with the plain 5.3 ROM
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] commandos999:
for nprussell and guyz plz plz help !!

Hello nprussell and guyz plz i have big problem with the all version on this ROM, everything is ok except the volume in the call i have with the caller's voice a voice like WZZZzzZZZZ when the in-call volume is maximum i need to make the in-call volume very low and it still high and i have voice like WZZZZZzzzZZ plz anyone have the same problem ? why i have this problem i did all the instructions and i did full wipe,, i tried to reflash the ROM and changed the radio but same problem plz help me ROM is amazing just this is my problem nothing ELSE !!

Regards :(
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] joshlusignan:
I ran the LW fix for most of the day...

Battery drain was a little more than normal, speed did not seem to be affected.

Gallery bug was present.

As for LW...most worked smoothly until my phone started to sync, then they turned choppy.

I ended up just reflashing 5.3 (without wipe) to "erase" the LW fix.

Very, very nice ROM. I personally dont care for LW tho.

Thanks Again!
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] wawalker:
I think the pure 5.3 ROM is working almost perfectly without the live wallpaper fix. The only bug I care about is the voice mail indicator. I have done couple of test and there is no VM indication whenever I received a VM. Also, the 3D gallery is kinda slow too. Moreover, the video file I took using the phone still shows 3GP instead of MP4
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] sayyouwill:
Bluetooth doesn't work on my Hero. I tried to flash the radio again but cannot fix this problem.

Live wallpaper works well on my phone. Thanks so much.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] gr3yh0und:
Thanks for the reply. I may use the Plain Villain 5.3, It works like a charm and great. I guess the LW is due to hardware limitation.
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] Alexander13:
This Rom is pretty good. I get a few lag but it's when syncing or typing. The HTC keyboard is not that stable yet. One more thing. If I flash the original rosie why does the notification bar become transparent?
[Hero, G2 Touch Android Development] antz88c:
true and very annoying.

seems I am not the only who wants the original rosie, i just hope nathan would release something that is only rooted.

maybe this will be possible when villainrom kitchen 5.3 becomes available.
