I searched this thread & see that bluetooth problems have been addressed many times but I can't find any resolutions so I hope this isn't a repost. Bluetooth worked correctly with the stock ROM on my Hero, but since switching to DC 2.08 and most recently 2.08.1, I'm having no luck.

In my car, I use a Pioneer bluetooth stereo. It will sync as media only, even though both phonecall and media options are selected. It plays audio just fine, in fact it seems to connect faster and skip less frequently than it did with the stock ROM. But it will not connect for voice calls.

When I'm working out, I use a Motorola S9HD headset. It will not sync at all, no voice and no media.

Both worked seamlessly with the stock ROM, in fact I could actually switch between the 2 just by turning the headset off before turning the truck on after I got back from a workout. I'm loving Damage Control, I hope I'm just being dumb & need to tweak something minor to get my bluetooth back!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Using 2.08.1, after I reboot the phone it takes the dialer one to two minutes to start up when I try and make a call. I press the contact's number and then the delay. Is this normal? I am using the black and blue theme as well, so could it be the theme or the rom?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
I have the dialer lag myself. Never seen it go 1-2 minutes, but 10-30 seconds isn't abnormal. Kinda irritating. I've sent my phone into a 'call loop' where (because it evidently buffers screen taps) it will call someone, hang up, call, hang up, call, hang up, etc. because I didn't realize I'd actually tapped it when it didn't come up immediately.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chfields:
I have had similar issues with bluetooth, although I only have the headset. I notice that on occasion, I will lose connectivity and have to turn off/on bluetooth and even have to rescan for it to get it to connect. While it is annoying when it happens, it doesn't happen often enough to stop using it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Same. I had that issue crop up this morning. I had to reboot the phone with bluetooth turned off in order to make it work.

Tried:

Rescanning

Turn bluetooth off/on/rescan

Turn bluetooth on/reboot

Turn bluetooth off/reboot/turn bt on/rescan/bingo.

Was awfully weird.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1Bigg_ER:
How the hell does one calibrate the battery?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
Well, most of the loading functions seem faster for me, but I can't attest to any drastic improvements in game playing or anything like that. When I do play games, it is mostly Sudoku or other puzzle games that don't require a lot of processing. Not sure how much JIT would affect ongoing processes, I just like not waiting for the phone to decide whether or not to load an app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
I have the similar issue with vanishing "Clock" app and the apk is found under /system/app/dcbanned, when I try to move the file it tells me its read only and can't perform the action..... I am a linux nube! Any help?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Charge it to full. Boot in recovery. Select wipe, wipe battery stats. Use phone until it dies.

Recharge phone to full.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
I use a S9-HD myself, works great. Wish the earpieces were at least a little adjustable, though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 1Bigg_ER:
Thanks, and how does this help? I'm sorry I'm newer than a noob.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wctom:
It does nothing physically to the battery (obviously). It just identifies new "100%" and "0 %" points.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
Ok, I figured this much that I need to mount the file system to be able to write! (I hope that's right!) And does anyone has command line instructions to mount system/app so I can move DeskClock.apk from system/app/dcbanned to system/app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bilrush5:
Weird, I'll try that as soon as I leave the office. Do I need to delete the pairing from my stereo so it thinks its starting completely fresh? And am I safe to assume you don't have to reboot your phone every time you want the bluetooth connected?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Nah, that was the only time it'd ever happened (I installed 2.0.8.1 the day it came out). I didn't have to delete the pairing, but...here's something else weird I just remembered: it appeared to delete itself several times. (The entry for the headset would go away and then come back on a rescan.)

I drove home today and had to manually connect BT to my car, but after turning my headset back on after I got home, it connected right up. I'm writing it off as just a weird thing that happened. Unless it happens a couple more times.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bilrush5:
Cool, I'll give it a shot. Thanks for the advice!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aiwetir:
you could use an app like "root explorer" much easier or

something like this (at least i think this is it):

adb mv system/app/dcbanned/DeskClock.apk system/app/DeskClock.apk

adb install system/app/DeskClock.apk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gambit727:
My S9-HDs were also working fine with this ROM (until I ruined them while trying to fix the peeling rubber with super glue, but that's another matter). :o
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aplacetorest:
My lock screen just deleted itself and went to the stock lockscreen...this happen to anyone else as well?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Gambit727:
I have not had Bluetooth problems, but I do lose data connection and GPS occasionally until I reboot.

For example this afternoon using DoggCatcher (podcast client) I noticed two items in the download queue but the download had not started. Also when I tried to use the Latitude widget, it would not update my location and when I opened Maps the GPS icon would flash but never obtain a lock (outside). This was the second time I noticed these behaviors, but I can't swear to them coinciding with the 2.08.01 install. After reboot, the podcast queue items began downloading and I got an instantaneous GPS lock in Maps.

If I get this to happen again, I'll submit a log report.

Has anyone else experienced issues with GPS or Data Connection?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I cannot install anything from the market.

I've searched this thread and the only suggestion I found was to clear the updates to market in the applications section of settings. That did not work for me. Everything else appears to be working.. Is there anything else to try?

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Did you wipe before installing the ROM? If not I suggest wiping factory reset/dalvik-cache/sd:ext and reinstalling.

If you did, then I don't have any other ideas...you could clear market cache and try that.

But removing updates is what fixed that for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bertoch:
Dcupdater wishlist: says new update found after each launch (reboot or kill) even if there isn't one.

Also, if new updates really exist, rom or theme, identify the updates and version.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I did a wipe of all 3 and also cleared the market cache. I'm stumped. Everything else is fine, although I've noticed (now that I think of it) google chat keeps reporting errors and is unable to connect (though I don't care). SD is fine, all my apps are running fine, I have well over 100 mb free on storage and no other issues that I am aware of. Running the newest DC for about a week now.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Define "cannot", please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
And now you know why you can't install anything from the Market.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
If it's like what happened to me, it FC's after it downloads, and just as it starts to install.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
I go through the motions, it says download will start.. I click the app name again, it says "starting download" but nothing ever starts. I've cleared market cache, uninstalled market updates, to no avail.

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
That's a little different than what I had. Happens semi-frequently to me. Go into/out of airport mode, that should fix it. If not, have you tried a reboot? (I assume so, but it never hurts to ask)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:
In and out of airplane mode did not do it, still gets stuck at "starting download." Frustrating. Anyway, I'm only trying to install something I don't really need - everything I do need is already installed and working properly so I can wait for the next rom or update.

But if there's anything I can do or test to help the group, let me know...

EDIT ** and yes, I did reboot more than once ***

Pete
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
Yeah I'm lost on that one. All I can suggest is wipe and reflash. Sorry 'bout that, maybe someone else has more ideas.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] posguy99:
Fix Google Talk. Then the Market will work again.

FCs and 100% wake time

Just finished partitioning my new 8GB Class 6 sd card. Backed up files to computer, partitioned, ext2 to ext3, uploaded my backed up files to phone, flashed DC2.08 and went from 65MB internal storage to 137MB! I had never partitioned before and was running DC2.08 without problems. Since the partitioning I have had FCs for the Gallery(process com.cooliris.media) and FCs for DCUpdater. I also have 100%wake time and the sync icon remains in the status bar. I never had anything like this before. Any suggestions/fixes? I have read through this ENTIRE thread without getting specific answers. I hope to resolve these minor bugs before flashing 2.08.1....or will the new update resolve them?

Thanks for the help!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] NewYorkLaw:

is there anyway to kill the sprint apps but keep the voicemail app?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] danaff37:
remove all the sprint apps except sprint_core
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Cloned2:
Certainly is a lot of post to read.

Anyways 2 quick questions

I had to mess with SD card before installing..

1. I used to get 2 drives opening up when I connected my phone to the computer.

Now I get one... Does this mean that Apps2SD isn't working for me.

2. When I hit the home screen I get the option for "home" and "Sense".. i have to home screens and Sense doesn't seem to boot unless I choose it at some point. There is also a the check box for "use by default".. IS there any way to go back on th use by default and does this mean that I can use my phone without sense in its entirety and will that speed up my phone?

Thanks From the noob
[Hero CDMA Android Development] heroid007:
Well finally I figured out (of course from someone else.....!!) Here are the steps:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock03 /system

install /system/app/dcbanned/DeskClock.apk /system/app/

Of course DeskClock.apk can be replaced by any banned app under the folder dcbanned!!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] calripkenturner:
I'm having some sync issues with Facebook. It is syncing contact names and emails but not pictures. Any idea how to fix this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
Time. I think it runs through names and emails first, then gets to pictures last. I could be wrong, but...when I was watching logcat run while doing it earlier today, it seemed to work in that order....just my guess.

Battery only charges 3/4ths full

According to the battery meter, its only charging 3/4ths full with this rom. any fixes?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Never heard of this issue. If you keep your phone plugged in it simply stops at 3/4? Have you checked the actual percentage? Are you getting the green light for a full charge?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] bilrush5:
So, I tried cycling the phone off & then turning bluetooth on as described before...and that worked fine for my moto S9 HD headset, but my Pioneer car stereo still won't sync properly. It syncs & connects for media perfectly, but the voice won't do it. When I try, it briefly (less than 3 seconds) appears connected & the radio displays "no name found" instead of the phones actual device name...then it switches back to "not connected" & that's all she wrote. Anybody else having this problem?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ruizma:
noob

will wiping my curent phone before download and then installing damagecontroll erase my phone numbers???
[Hero CDMA Android Development] barnacles10:
Yes, but your numbers are sycned with google. So when you enter your email at startup, all your contacts will download
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Squiggy45:
That's true, as long as your numbers are Google numbers, and weren't entered as "phone" numbers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] A_Guy71:
I had this problem on the 2.1 RUU..I wiped the phone and installed 2.08.1 and it is drastically more responsive.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
yeah i'm kinda of a noob. do i use adb for that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] nebenezer:
adb remount

adb shell

cd system/app

rm Sprint_core.apk (just for example, I know you dont want to remove that one)

you can type "ls" from the /system/app folder to get a list of all the .apk's in there

Navigation

Hi, finally got it up and running.

Just wondering why my navigation isn't working :(
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R2D2-AKU2:
Read the damn thread!

Last night I decided I wanted to play around with JIT so I made a nandroid backup and did my thing. I still couldn't make it work stable so I wiped and went to restore my backup but it didn't work! Kept getting some msg about running Android-mobile.sh restore in adb. I couldn't make that work either.

Long story short, now I had no internet to come here and research a fix but I didn't panic. I dove deep back into the nether reaches of my brain and remembered that I read in this 426 page thread that you can't restore when the battery is below __%. I charged up the battery a bit and restore worked like a charm.

Just wanted to share that. Even though many of the posts lately are repeats, boring or dumb, if you don't read the entire damn thing you may miss the gem that will save your bacon one day! :-)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stylz3:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
No responses to what? I looked through all your previous posts and I don't see that you ever asked a question about Internet sharing.

Now, what are you trying to use for "Internet sharing"? Are you talking about the menu option that comes up when you plug in your phone? That doesn't work. Do a Google search for "android wifi tether". Lots of threads about this. I'm sure you can find instructions.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
No, take it as "we've answered that question in this thread 1435145145 times over the past week and you just showed us that you didn't read it". I would venture a guess that this question is the sole reason why the thread is 400+ pages long. LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
also with smarta$$ remarks trying to be cool like "look here (hahah i put a link to google cause this guy is so dumb, i want to laugh...hahahaha)"

those are even more obnoxious because they are pointless. Just as easy (AND MORE HELPFUL) to paste a link to a post that has the answer.

But I forgot, you all always knew every answer and never asked a "n00b" question right?

Everyone get off your high horse, and just help each other, regardless if it is the 1st time or 1000th time.

*gets off high horse*;)

back to the ROM

battery life hasn't improved much, even after a complete wipe. hopefully future releases will reign in these issues....also confused on how they are so varied.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
my battery life is quite good. i made it all day yesterday w/o charging. i was listening to music, podcasts, some light web browsing, rss reading. unplugged my phone about 6 a.m. & didn't plug back in until 10 p.m.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
I appreciate your viewpoint, but respectfully disagree. Look at my post history. I did not know the answer to every question, but I certainly did search the forums and, more importantly, read through threads that could help me before asking a question that had been asked 1000 times before. Ever since the release of 2.08 this question has been asked more times than any other and answered as well. There comes a point when this behavior becomes the equivalent of a toddler yelling "mom" over and over. I believe that this thread alludes to that, but specifically mentions new threads and not making current threads obnoxiously large. I believe that it should apply to both, myself. Trust me, I believe in helping n00bs. I still consider myself one, for the most part. I simply cannot abide stereotypical n00b behavior.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
I wonder what the differences are....too many variables. Oh well, will just have to live with it.

maybe I just use it too much?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
i never made one phone call yesterday. maybe that's it!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheRonin:
+1 to you good sir!

This is what fixed it:

Go to Menu, Settings, Applications, Manage Applications,

Options Filter All, Media Storage, Clear Data, Power off the phone, power on the phone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Sounds like it must have been a bad copy of the artwork, for some reason. Glad you got it working, though.

As I stated in the link I posted, I'm not sure what fixed it for me. If I had to take an educated guess, though, it would be a change in how GIMP saves bmp files and how EasyTag stores them in ID3 tags.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheRonin:
I haven't used EasyTag, all my id3 came from iTunes, so I am ok blaming it all on apple.

My guess was it just got stuck at some point and it needed to be cleared out and reran. Eitherway, it's all back now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
It's not working on my phone. Just says start tethering and says please wait while starting, but never starts. Wifi tether I mean

Well you touch where it asks you too, then says SU Request. Then does nothing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Which version are you using? I've only ever been able to get v1.6 to work. Do you get the SU screen asking for access permission? Or do you only get the "please wait while starting" pop-up?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
is usb debugging off? i had this issue with something else.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
I get the SU but if I go back home and get back into it, it will say starting, but never start. I've tried both 2.0.1 and now just the 2.0 or whatever stable. Havnt tried any other builds yet.

yes USB I've tried the debugging both on and off
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Erase those versions and get 1.6. It works fine. Leave USB debugging on. See how that works for you.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
I'll try that real quick. I need to have it plugged in right, but I dont need to select Internet sharing when the USB is connected
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
As far as I know, you do need it plugged in. I've heard rumor of using the Bluetooth, but I'd hate to see how fast the battery died using it to tether that way. Also, when I tether, I leave it set to "Charge Only".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
Dam no luck. 1.6. Goes to that dam Su request black screen and thats it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
That's what I got when I had USB debugging off. Verify that it is turned on. If it is, try turning USB debugging off, reboot phone, turn USB debugging back on and trying again.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
I think I got it !
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
You've taken your first step into a larger world. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
So anyway to use the USB tethering, rather the wireless network or is this ROM have a bug in regards to that?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] subcypher:
Wireless tethering is used to turn your phone into an Internet connection for your computer. Essentially, you use it when you can't get a wifi connection. I guess I'm not understanding what you mean by "bug".
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
anyways, thanks again b.t.w
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
What I mean is, I can't go to internet sharing and have it work. It gives some error..

Sprint Apps - Nascar

This is my first experience with flashing a ROM to my Hero and I couldn't be more pleased. The phone is very responsive and battery life is much improved over the stock ROM. The only issue I have is that the Sprint Nascar app goes to "force close" everytime I try to launch it. Is there a known issue and fix for this?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
you don't use internet sharing that way. you use wifi tethering.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chugger93:
ok so it doesnt work I guess it sounds like. Which is the reason I downloaded wifi tether. Gotcha
[Hero CDMA Android Development] R2D2-AKU2:
To my (limited) knowledge, this is not a k.own issue but the app is totally buggy and flakey. Have you tried simply rebooting? If that doesn't work, try booting into recovery, go to other and fix uid. I'm going by memory so the exact terms may not match, but you're looking for fix uid.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kynov:
On 2.8 here... I am having an issue where I either make or receive a phone call and there is no sound whatsoever. Everytime I refresh this thread there seems to be a new page so I may have missed a fix somewhere in here, but if anyone else can verify they are having this issue or knows a fix to the issue I am having, that would be great. Other than that, I love this rom. Full of win!

Once you have downloaded a Theme using the DC Updater how can you switch between different themes. I see they are saved in a folder called DC Update but I can not figure out how to switch between them without downoloading a new copy.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
In order to apply a theme .zip file, you have to flash just like you do the ROM.

Boot into Recovery

Make a nandroid!

Flash theme zip file.

Reboot (may take a long time, watch logcat)

Enjoy. If you don't like it, you can restore nandroid or flash other themes!

Good luck.
