Tethering refusing to stop....

An update on the tethering issue...As we have become aware if you are tethering using this rom and the 29 kernel and try to stop it by just pressing it to stop the phone will freeze right?

And also it has been suggested that in order to avoid that to use a task killer to stop it.

So I did that, used advance task manager to kill it and seemed to work. The screen went back to the main screen and the icon disapeared from the task bar...ok task taken care off...

BUT the phone kept on tethering and sending a signal to my computer.

So I pressed the app icon again and when it opened up it was like it had never stopped. Weird

Ok..so Advance task killer is not doing it, how about Auto memory manager?

Open that app up, found the tethering as part of content provider folder and killed it. Ok now that should take care of it...

Nope, Nothing, my computer stills get the signal and when pressed the app again it pops up as it had never stopped.

So maybe that is why when we try to stop it via regular ways the phone freezes...the app will just not stop or allow anything to stop it.

I dont have a clue why this might be happening. Leave it to the experts to brainstorm the causes and maybe solutions....

I have posted this question in the official 29 kernel thread, maybe there an answer/solution will pop up.

Being the true professional he is , I am totally surprised he hasn't posted anything in regards to his absence, we are not looking for details just a general memo saying something like "I'll be away from this forum for a few weeks, talk to y'all when I get back" that way the question doesn't come up everyday along with all types of speculation. I totally respect your work and your privacy and I am in no way trying to set a bait, whatever you're off doing...enjoy! I am only saying that I am surprised that nothing official was mentioned. Again thanks to both of you guys for the hard work you put in to make this hobby interesting for so many.

Sure id like an update, but right now im running dc 2.08.1 over clocked with launcherpro and modded stock lock screen and its fast, custom and stable. Cant complain.

work on what you have instead of whining about what you dont.

i set up full sense the way i like it, and then set up launcher and launcher pro all the way, then i use home switcher to swap back and forth. Its like having 3 roms on the same phone. plus overclocked so its pretty quick.

I have this same problem. Tried calling customer service who did all kinds of things like clearing my profile, had me put in lock codes to reset data stuff, and other things I don't know when I was with advanced tech support. The final solution they had was to hard reset. I even did that (keeping a nandroid backup) to no avail.

I have also noticed that when I try to add an account (even when adding a very first account after hard reset) that the phone becomes convinced it has no mobile network access even though every other internet thing is working, including receiving email.

This came after flashing the OC kernal, then nandroiding back because it was too unstable.

Help anyone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jus10o:
Try flashing this.. View attachment default.zip Its damage controls default boot.img.

If your not running the OC kernel anymore then it shouldnt still give you any problems what so ever. There is nothing in it that will stay around on your phone that would effect it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] canterrain:
Tried that, still not able to send emails.

Also, new symptom. Unable to start wifi. If I try airplane mode I get the message unable to stop wifi.

I have a question, I am having a problem with my phone locking up when turning off wifi tether. I looked around an 1.6 seems to solve the problem but I am still getting the problem on my phone. I am using wifi tether 1.6 and I am using a OC kernal.

Is it the OC that is locking up my phone?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rufflez2010:
yeah, thats a known issue. You may just have to reboot to get it to stop.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
I'm a newbie with this. I've flashed winmo upgrades and droid 1.5 to htc touch, both through RUU utilitities (and different versions of donut and eclair through "androidinstaller" in the "andboot" folder). What's the process through the Hero? Is there a special RUU utility? I'm just unclear on how to actually get started, but after that it all seems plain enough.

Thanks!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jasonyana:
Huge Damagecontrol Fan - one question.

I've been a forum lurker, installed dc 2.8.1 and absolutely love it. Since dc was the only rom I have tried since rooting, I figured I would try some other ones today. Tried DamageR and found it interesting, but too weird.

Had the audio issue which I think is fixed now.

Have a new issue that I have not seen much of on here. When the phone is asleep and I get an incoming call, I slide to answer and the phone pretty much just hangs up on the person immediately.

Since I just performed a wipe and reflash, we shall see if it persists.

Just made my donation to damage, after experiencing another ROM, I feel I owe it to him.

I think I might try one more, but I am afraid I am hooked on DC, waiting patiently with no complaints over here. I got married a year ago and I know I wouldn't have wanted all you freaks on my honeymoon!!

Respect,

JY
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steindog99:
If you use for phone for work and need it to work perfectly ALL the time, then I would stick with Damageless roms. If you dont' mind the occassional hiccup, then Flipz makes another really good rom called Fresh (it also has an OC'd version called Fresh Toast available.) I just recently finished trying every rom out for a few days, and this is where I ended back...right where I started. My BIGGEST piece of advice for you in flashing all these new roms, completely wipe everything (Factory/data, dalvik, sdcard) between each new installation. I have never had any issues and I think it is largely do to that. Takes a little longer, but saves the headaches in the long run...GOOD LUCK!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 2LoWw7:
Steindogg99, what theme you using with this rom? What Lock Screen, I'm kinda tired of this HTC Lock Screen.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cwbeasley:
Under normal circumstances, I'd never type this into a public forum, but, alas, I will.

I can't stomach how some people are like "Where's Damageless??" when he creates something for no charge at all, the provides countless amounts of tech support, for free, and even updates his ROMs, for free, and people think it's his job.

I work for Sprint, now I say that sadly, because the same types of customers who come in asking for help without even a thank you, are the same type of users who hop online, can't do ANY of this for themselves, and feel justified in DEMANDING that a volunteer do something for them. I'm starting to see a pattern of just general disloyal types associated with Sprint in general.

People, do like I did, learn to cook for yourself, just like they did, and answer your own questions. At LEAST learn to search. There hasn't been ONE issue I've encountered that I've not been able to resolved through the power of searching AND reading! It's so empowering, I didn't even notice he was gone, and if he's on his honeymoon (God forbid someone does something that doesn't benefit you personally...) leave him alone. All you're doing is cluttering up this thread with a question that will be answered in DUE TIME. In the meantime, try the search function, and if you don't find it on this thread, TRY THE INTERNET. God forbid you actually help yourself, you people want someone to fish, cook, and chew your food for you, and even then, you still complain about having to digest it and poop it yourself!

I'm done.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Jason kiDD:
lol Well I am patient and will wait for any updates if necessary. DC 2.8.1 works great for my needs and I thank Damageless for the time it took to get it just right.. Ill be here watching still until anything else changes..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
1. Gain root access to your device.

2. Install a Recovery application that will let you "boot into recovery" - RA_anon_1.6.2 is a good RA app choice

3. Copy the custom ROM to the root of your SD card

4. Boot into recovery and use the menu provided to do a Nandroid backup of your device

5. The RA_anon_1.6.2 menus let you toggle to set your SD card as a harddisk - do that and copy your Nandroid backup to your PC while still in recovery

6. Use the menus to wipe all data and cache

7. Use the menus to "flash a file from your SD card" - choose the custom ROM you want to flash and do it

8. Reboot your phone - the 1st boot takes a few minutes

9. Enjoy your new phone!

10. Iterate with next custom ROM ...

How To's for 1 and 2 are found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=674833

If you have a stock version of 2.1 on your device, you'll need to read the thread on how to root 2.1

A few other things. I've done a Nandroid backup. That's just a precaution in case things go wrong, correct?

I downloaded "damage control" ROM. When I unzipped into a folder I have the boot image and three folders: data; META-INF; system. I'm assuming I put boot image and those three folders on a formatted sd card?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] canterrain:
Thanks for all the help so far.

I reflashed damage rom + audio fix and that fixed my wifi problem.

I then pushed the filed, no dice, reflashed the default boot you gave me, no dice but no wifi problem, then repushed the file, still no dice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cirehawk:
That's certainly one way of looking at it. Personally, I am a long time linux (which android is based on) user. I donate every year to the developer of my "distro of choice" because I appreciate all the work he puts into it. It wasn't too long after trying damages rom that I decided it was an awesome rom, so I donated. I donated because I appreciate the work he put into it. I agree that no one should make demands on his time, since he is basically doing this for free. However, I don't see anything wrong with people asking/wondering what's going on. Because it's been nearly 3 weeks since either he or Trev have posted anything, I myself am wondering. While I make no demands, it still would be nice to hear something (at least from Trev if damages is still honeymooning). Fortunately, 2.08.1 is pretty solid so I am patient and have no problem waiting until some word comes out. But just because others are asking, it does not mean they are ungrateful complainers.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
1.5.2 is fine - you're good to go to step 3.

You don't have to delete anything on your SD card - unless you don't have room for the ROM file! Then just make sure you put the custom ROM file in the root dir of the SD card ....

Nandroid is for getting back to where you were before you try a new ROM - trust me you'll have a need for it if you flash a lot

The flashable custom ROMs come as "zip" files, but they're not intended to be unpacked by you. Just put the single zip file in the root dir of the SD card

happy flashing!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] collin_ph:
You should totally put the new Fresh kernel on top of this using Just10's (sp? sorry) update.. I'm running that, error free, with OC.. being able to reclock is great. I run it very slow when the screen is off, fast when it's on... seems to be a great balance and I get very good battery life. You simply download the file and flash it over DC. As far as I can tell, it doesn't break anything.

Would post a link but the forum won't let me. The important part is below.

OC Kernel

Haa, already done that too!! It clocked at 768mhz and it feels a bit snappier.

Just tried Fresh's Rom's - they are very good also, stable simple to the point, the way I like things. Fresh toast did not have the voice-to-speech option everywhere the way dc does, another reason I am sticking with DC

I did notice that the keyboard is quite a bit more responsive on simpler roms, but I turned off the haptic feedback and it is quicker, of course.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
I donated to Damageless. And I haven't yet complained about his absence. So having said those two things I now feel compelled and also justified in saying this: I PAY Sprint. If I go in there and I ask for help, consider my payment your thank you. You people need to learn that you are there to SERVE me. That's what customer service is. If you're doing it for 'thanks' you're in the wrong profession. Too many times have I gone into various Sprint stores and received rudeness and completely unprofessional attitudes from the reps. So if you think I'm thanking THEM for doing their jobs, you're sorely mistaken.

Now I DO tend to say thank you if someone goes above and beyond. But with Sprint, that just plain doesn't happen. Or at least rarely. Once I think in the 12 years I've been a Sprint customer. So take your whining for thank yous back to Sprint. Change the ways of the 'customer service' reps and then maybe you can start expecting to be thanked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
Done. Easy, quick, better ROM. Thanks for the help.

one reason i've switched to darchdroid is the heating problem on this rom. i think a few people have mentioned it somewhere in this massive thread. i keep my phone in an inner coat pocket around the chest. anyways, it seems that the phone (or battery) heats up significantly when i have it in a pocket idling. i'm not sure what does this, i've got setcpu to clock back when sleeping, set all auto-syncs to 4-6 hour cycles. i'm hoping this gets fixed in the future release

Err, what's the problem? Seems to say quite a lot - Treve has been working on the EVO, is/has upgraded, and is trying to get a dollar for his no longer required Hero. And an as yet released version of DC is included. Any questions?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
The problem is, if that's real, is that TrevE is running DC 2.0.9, which would be the update everyone has been waiting for, and is selling his hero on eBay.

Again, if that's real, it tends to indicate that they're not releasing anything to the rest of us. But then, that's only TrevE that seems to be selling anything on eBay and could be faked.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] DesJR9:
Hmmm Ohh well that means i'm just gonna up grade to a new evo then, but that might very well be TrevE selling his old hero since he's upgraded to a evo, its just a guess because the seller's name is "Trev0r101" so TrevE = Trevor/ Trev0r = trevor maybe a coincidence lol.

Speaking of the EVO, I played with one today and it is as I suspected. It is a BIG phone. The screen is awesome and it is plenty fast, but it really feels a bit bulky in my hand. For now I think I prefer my Hero, but of course that may change by the time I'm eligible for an upgrade in October. :)

JIT w/Sense

Okay I know that this is on pg. 500+ of this thread, and someone could have mentioned it on a previous page, however I searched through 50 random pages over half an hour and only mentioned the issue and not a resolution, so if my "epiphany" is nothing more than repetition of a solution already mentioned ... well, forgive me.

I was having the problem of 100% awake time for the longest time, and I finally figured out it was only when JIT was enabled. I was bummed because JIT is friggin sweet, so I tried to find a solution that let me keep it. It turned out it was the banning of Sense that was really causing the problem! So ... I unchecked Sense and kept JIT active. I got the same bootloop problems others have complained of, but I realized it got to the point of me dragging down the LockScreen before looping ... so I deleted the HTC Lockscreen. BAM, I now have JIT w/Sense enabled in DConfig.

Now ... I don't USE Sense for anything, I use ADW Launcher (scope it out if you haven't yet), so I don't know if that would further encounter issues. However ... I now have JIT without 100% awake time. That with overclock makes my Hero blister. Like I said, might be late, but I figured I'd share.
