@toreone

Actually, that just separates the ringer. I want the SMS, MMS, voicemail notifications, reminders, etc. to ALL be separate. That's where my problem is. :(
[HD2 General] aceo07:
I wish WM6.5 had Android's system of audio control. Volume control for system, ring tone, phone, media. When you're NOT doing anything, the volume control should be for ring tone. When you're on a phone call, it should just handle volume for phone call. When you're playing multimedia, it should adjust media volume.

I'm not a big fan of how WM (or maybe sense) forces the system volume to be linked to the ring volume. I can't have ring as vibrate AND still have some volume for system. It's annoying!
[HD2 General] deroux71:
Can anyone help me? In Settings I do not have Sounds & Display anymore...
[HD2 General] sirphunkee:
use your finger to swipe-scroll the settings list up and down, you'll find it there.
[HD2 General] rice-CHRISpies:
This does not solve the problem. "Ring" only controls the volume of rings when voice calls come through.

SMS, mms, email, chat, listening to music, etc. is all clumped into the "System" volume.

So if you set it to "single volume for both settings" then phone alerts will come through just as loud as your music. And phone alerts are usually higher pitched and more annoying.

I'm having the exact same issue as the OP... listening to music and then getting this loud sms tone. I came from using an iphone and this problem was an easy fix as the iphone separated phone alerts (ring, sms, email) from headphones/ear piece volume.
[HD2 General] gasanpride:
I am a newbie to HD2 but I have the old dash and old Shadows 2007 and 2009 and I agree I don't understand as to why this feature is missing in HD2. I am not sure if I missed it, but I don't see any hack on this one yet..
[Hero CDMA General] Brutus2TheMax:
Today I was working the shift from hell at CiCi's Pizza (8am-11pm) and two customers came in with Hero's. BOTH had the same software. I asked the first guy when he received the update and he said he got his yesterday. The second guy said he received it a couple days ago. I asked to see the firmware version in settings and they both said the same thing. 2.1. They both had the exact same rosie which was a unique looking espresso rosie and the weather animation in the homescreen with mutli touch.

I'm not trying to start controversy but two people with the EXACT same firmware and rosie's? If they were rooted and pulling my leg, what are the chances that they both had the same ROM and the same unique rosie?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? Where's 2.1?
[Hero CDMA General] david279:
Yeah that is the shift from hell.
[Hero CDMA General] networx2002:
i have heard anything
[Hero CDMA General] Brutus2TheMax:
Tell me about it... I'm 19 years old with 18 credit hours of school a week on top of 35 hours of ****ty pizza work...
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
I peed in a CiCi's once....Just once though.....
[Hero CDMA General] Brutus2TheMax:
Let me make it known that both customers didn't seem very bright so rooted phones did NOT seem to be an answer to this dilemma.
[Hero CDMA General] hooover:
If they were together the chances that they had the same custom set up is probably more likely then a secret update.......
[Hero CDMA General] Brutus2TheMax:
They weren't together... The first guy came in for lunch rush and the second for dinner rush...
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
Hmmmm, they could have both been rooted and using Zen's mytouch slide port..

You say they aren't too bright, but it's not too hard to root and flash a phone if you do a little reading. And the Sprint update will be using the Rosie that is in Damage's rom, so that is my guess.. That is still pretty crazy though
[Hero CDMA General] aauussttiinn88:
you should have been like can i see that real quick....and then try to boot it in recovery...that would have solved it all...
[Hero CDMA General] someonenewhere:
cool story bro!
[Hero CDMA General] jocampo86:
ok not trying to add more crap to this thread but i got my hero on march 23rd and after staring at the root guides for like a week i decided to root ,,well on saturday my friend who has a hero tried to go back to stock and got the error 110....and me like a smart ass gave it a try (ruu stock)when i got to 99% well gues wath error 110,,

phone wouldnt boot up only black screen.decide to take it back to best buy still on 30 days long story short took it to besbuy on sunday this sunday

(i asked the 2 reps are guys having alot of issues with this phone playing dumm..)they both reached into their pocket pulled out their hero and said no...

and proceeded to ask them about the 2.1 release date ..one of them said we already have right(told the other rep) the other guy nodded and with a weird look(wtf r u saying)and said no maybe until mid may,,,

i dont know maybe they where rooted or something just sharing my story...

:D
[Hero CDMA General] Tenny:
I'm waiting for someone to admit they were at CiCi's today and someone was inquiring about their phone...
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
HAHAHA that's so funny I just want to try it, take some strangers phone and try to boot it in recovery

when it sticks at the stock recovery image just hand it back and say "aww man, I'm sorry"

Then point and have a good laugh... then fix it for them... lol
[Hero CDMA General] chubbzlou:
:D

Excuse me can I see your phone. Boot it to recovery and search for any other image zip they have and flash it. That would be funny.

haha
[Hero CDMA General] Austin3600:
Sounds like someone who just didn't feel like explaining what "rooting" was and how to do it? lol

"Umm.. yeah man.. just go to update on your phone.. oh really? It doesn't work? That's weird.. thanks for pizza, peace"
[Hero CDMA General] clifton421:
Maybe one of the guys was the guy that lost the prototype iphone a couple of weeks ago? He could be working at sprint now..... :eek:
[Hero CDMA General] R2D2-AKU2:
He could be working at CiCi's right now. ;)
[Hero CDMA General] HeroMeng:
Apparently, that dude was drunk at a bar to celebrate his birthday. Where anyone self-respecting would be. Kind of fail to bring a $5k Apple prototype though.
[Hero CDMA General] XxsydenxX:
Riveting tale chap!
[Hero CDMA General] thatjerk:
And you didn't ask any questions... they were rooted and on custom ROMs. Chances are good that they had the same ROM if had to guess I would say around 70% of rooted users running a 2.1 ROM are using fresh or damagecontrol.
[Hero CDMA General] jcaliendo:
Maybe Sprint had pity on them because they eat at Cici's pizza. That **** is about the worst excuse for food that I've ever had.

I am most certainly not a "tard" and rooted my Hero... following the steps in the Wiki post wasn't rocket science. At least booting into Recovery Mode didn't take the finger-cramping 4 or 5 finger presses that HTC's WinMo phones usually require!

[Hero CDMA General] revlayle:
You get tips at CiCi's??? The CiCi's here are all buffets, the service is just bus-people cleaning up after everyone... I guess not all CiCi's are made equal.
[Hero CDMA General] askwhy:
2.1? Forget it, that is so next week. /chuckle

It's time to start whining about 2.2 already.

Quote from the AndroidAndMe article linked above:

EDIT: Just FYI to avoid any confusion, that article is focused on newer gear than our Hero, which doesn't have the physical hardware for the color trackball, or the FM radio. Glad to see that there will be official JIT support, and the .32 kernel, but somehow I think most of us will be on other phones before those (officially) make it to the Hero, if they ever do. Hopefully I will turn out wrong there. I know JIT is already being added to our DEV roms, but it has a ways to go before it could be called mainstream stable.

while i agree you PROBABLY should have posted this elsewhere (tho it was a good and interesting read and definatly a sly observation!) i must concur. there are alot of as*holes on this forum.

its like, they claim the boards are cluttered. their only cluttered because

a)theres hardly any moderation

b)they insist on responding with rude anseers, instead of helping

hey, if you dont like the thread, dont respond. or, hey, if you want less clutter, respond with an ANSWER to quickly close the thread.

i love how all the people who mainly lurk and contributed NOTHING to the community have the right to tell other people off, but when you look at the responses of the TRUE devs...their polite, to the point, and over all, you can tell their here for the community and not to be a shrewd b!tch.

keep it up devs

screw you lurkers, go back to watching us run a clean forum.

ps. i agree with whoever posted the idea of a rooter who just didnt want to explain the process. seems to be the most likely. also, wouldnt they have people officially beta testing 2.1? maybe you met two lucky suns of guns. idk
[Hero CDMA General] Brutus2TheMax:
Thank you, I didn't want this thread to become big with smart ass comments, I just thought it was interesting and thought I'd share my experience. Next time I find something I'll be sure to not share it with anyone here because it's obvious that if it's not a ROM or a THEME guy guys don't give a ****.

Help me please, as I'm kinda new to HTC things.

I got one HTC Wings, with bad IMEI. So I decided to change it.

Reading through forum, ang googling like mad - I found my way till serial connection. Tried "XDA Manipulator" - with no success. looked into source code, and found the problem.

XDA-M - waits for a reply string from a device, which is "FW ", but when I connect to my device through terminal, and request any response - the reply string is "cmd>"

I think that this could be the problem, why AT commands aren't working.

Waiting for possible solutions and Thanks in advance!

Are there any browsers that have the back button (like on the bottom) on the touch screen? I tend to try not to use the buttons a lot but when I am browsing, I need to go back. Can anyone name some browsers?

I know Opera Mini 5 has a back button but that is compressed pages. I want one that's not. Any?
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Hi , dolphin uses touch screen gestures and you can programme then to do all sorts of things. The standard gesture for back is like a backwards L.

Steel

The Browser app 'Steel' has on screen back and forward buttons on.

Is very cool imo, can work as a 'desktop' browser or 'iphone' as well as mobile, so can browse full webpages on it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] Tri3Dent:
Nice. Steel works great! It's like an addon for the Android Browser. Thanks!

The dolphin browser is good but don't like the gestures. I rather hit a button rather than make a mirror style L. It also doesn't have an option to display the back button on at all times on the bottom for dolphin browser.

I am just treading water now. I don't understand why keyboards are being dropped. I love the Fuze's keyboard. It could be improved on, of course, but keyboards like the Droids make me lose faith in anyone's ability to build a good keyboard.

HTC is the only one I have faith in. And with awesome phones like the HD2 and the Evo... I may not have a keyboard phone at all!! What to do!!

Someone give me good news!!
[General Topics] MooGoo:
I have nightmares of a not so distant future where real keyboards on phones (and perhaps one day even computers) no longer exist. Even on this board, when reading posts of people going from the Touch Pro 2 to the HD2, and exclaiming how (because of the gigantic screen) they no longer need a real keyboard, I shed microscopic tears.

Even if one could become as proficient with a touchscreen keyboard as they would be with a real one, there is one thing that a real keyboard can do that a fake one will never be able to emulate. That is, the ability to not take up 3/4ths of the screen while using it.

I cannot imagine using SSH or RemoteDesktop with a touch keyboard that obscures half the screen every time I want to type something. I like using my phone as a mini computer, and I appreciate having the choice to control it without always smudging up the screen. Ever try scrolling through large webpages with a series of flicks? Yea, hooray for directional buttons!

Anyways enough rant, I have no idea what the next good keyboard phone from HTC will be. There's the HTC Tera, but that seems to be a stripped down Touch Pro 2 (lower screen res, similar CPU) which makes no sense. Something like an HD2 Pro would be boss, considering the surface area of that device, HTC could fit some serious keyage in there.

Until then you can pry my underpowered Touch Pro 2 out of my cold dead hands.
[General Topics] josefcrist:
get an lg expo.
[General Topics] thehyecircus:
Personally, I find the keyboard just easier to use, and it allows for you to use other applications (such as games, which I never play cause the Fuze is slow) or, even better, to scroll through contacts precisely when you have a phone without a front-facing D-Pad. Buttons are great. You just need those keys. I do like to use my phone as a mini-computer as well. I fell in love with the Sidekick when I was younger (never one one), the idea of a mini little IM station. I use my Fuze like that now, putting it next to my monitor when playing a game to direct the IMs to it.

Without a keyboard, it'll feel incomplete. Sure, an onscreen keyboard works, but it's slow. It's clumsy. You need to look at it when you type, and you can never get too far ahead because you are unsure of what you're hitting. My Fuze keyboard is second nature. I need a GOOD keyboard, as good as the Fuze or better.

And I'm not seeing one.
[General Topics] orb3000:
I´m with you!

Only HTC I want and with keyboard.

Not any virtual keyboard can be compared to the REAL feeling of typing on REAL keys!!!

Tera should be launched in q3 o q4 this year but it´s not really an upgrade from actual great Rhodium:(

I would say, wait till q2 2011 and for sure we will see something it worth the upgrade.

I spent several years with Universal waiting for a great successor and got it hard to find something till I got Rhodium.

If you know something please share it here!

I´ll do the same:)

I feel the same. I hope that there will be HTC Android phone with keyboard in near future.

Typing on screen is super-slow-motion for me compared to hardware keyboard, probably because of the small screen. But i think good HW keyboard can beat any SW keyboard on any screen.

Touch Pro 2 Keyboard > Touch Pro 1 Keyboard in all way, shape, & form.

In fact so far, the Touch Pro 2 is the most perfect phone keyboard that I have ever used...no comparisons anywhere else.

But I'm with the OP here, I want to see some new phones coming out w/ specs like modern phones with keyboards like my current phone. It shouldn't be too much to ask. Or else I'd be tempted to make a frankenphone of the HD2 w/ the touch pro 2 keyboard if possible!!!

Hey. I was checking out iPad in a local best buy one day, thinking about if it's going to replace my laptop, went back home, opened my lenovo X301, and caught my self thinking, that this kind of flip device, with keyboard on the bottom and screen on top, is a so freaking good NEW idea after all this tablets :)
[General Topics] thehyecircus:
A real Tablet PC is a convertible, where the screen can flip down and go on top of the keyboard. They ALSO use digitizers so you can use a stylus and draw on the screen accurately (instead of this multi-touch capacitive crap designed for fingers.) That is the laptop I want. Not these tablet craps.

If it is designed for the internet, I NEED to type on it. That's all I do online.
