[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feefeeboomboom:
so when ever i take a rom apart and add/remove items it never works lol.

i use 7zip to extract/compress and fresh's pre kitchen for signing and making an update script.

i havent been able to figure out why its not work. the zips flash and dont change anything but the phone boots or flash and the phone doesnt boot.

i just wanted know of any newb freindly ways of modifying zips so i dont have to be stuck with things i dont want ect ect..

i would post this somewhere els but we dont really have a Q & A section..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
Belongs in the General section.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MagnusRagnarok:
1)DO NOT UNZIP anything(browse while zipped/edit while zipped)

2)Use autosign.bat or exe.

3)No offense Flipz,LEARN ADB FIRST(NO KITCHEN)

4)When youre done editing resign the rom.

5)Thats IT!!!:D GOOD LUCK
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:
You can't sign ROM's with the Kitchen. Only themes. And learning ADB commands is cool. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
yes you can, lol
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:
How? Obviously, I have overlooked it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notasimpleway:

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feefeeboomboom:
Yeah I redl the kitchen. Alright Ty guys sorry for wrong section post..
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
I have my wife'snumber stored in contacts. I noticed that when I dial manually, unless I enter the area code it doesn't pick up that I'm calling her. Other phones I have used allowed meto set my "local" area code and assume if I didn't dial one the local is assumed. AM I missing something, or does this setting not exist on the hero.
[Hero CDMA General] wctom:
My Hero assumes my local area code when I dial without one. I haven't had to adjust any options for this to work.
[Hero CDMA General] nenn:
its been a standard for the last few years that you need to dial 1+(area code) when dialing a number.

its possible it depends on your area, i live in a large city myself so there are many overlapping area codes, so its kind of a necessity.

its POSSIBLE this is the case.
[Hero CDMA General] wctom:
The point is with most all phones/carriers including my current Hero on Sprint, if you dial a 7-digit number without an area code, the phone assumes that it is in your registered area code. (Not the area code of your location, BTW.)

It sounds like there is a glitch with the OP's Sprint service.
[Hero CDMA General] posguy99:
Which ROM did you flash after rooting your phone?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
I've noticed the same thing. All of my contacts are in the 865 area code. If I dial 660 nothing pops up for my wifes contact, but if I dial 865-660...it pulls up her contact info.

Because we are still pretty rural, we still use 7 digit dialing. Dialing the area code is pretty useless around here so It's a habit I have to get my self into I guess. Kinda sucks if you fat finger something and there us no confirmation of the contact you are dialing.

[Hero CDMA General] wtphoto:
just a thought but do you have the number stored with the area code? if so then that mat be the issue.
[Hero CDMA General] posguy99:
Sprint sends the area code with the phone number, though, so if you don't store the area codes, your caller ID won't show you the names either.

All the Sprint leaks act like this, although 1.5 did not. Hopefully it won't work that way in the release.
[Hero CDMA General] gunnyman:
yeah that's the issue. I was just surprised that the number wasn't recognized without it I guess.
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
I think it is that way because when you type a number it searches from whole words and the phone number is considered one word so it needs to start from the beginning.

If you haven't noticed you can type in someones name and it will pop them up.

Also another weird thing is if you type a phone number with area code and then type a number 1+area code you will get two different lists because the 1+area code shows up in the call log and the search pulls from there as well.
[HD2 General] datzent83:
When I got my HD2 I set two registry settings to below:

HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409

\windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll

XT9 IME change to Layout Text : COMP IME

And installed FingerKeyboard 2.1. When I typed in text it would predict what I was typing and show it to me, i.e. if I type "can" it would suggest "can you" (take a look at the attachment).

I had to hard reset my HD2, after which the prediction went away. Anyway to get it back?
[HD2 General] dudu7559:
So, why did you do that...??? My Leo has the standard keyboard and if you turn the XT9 on, once you start typing a word, a moving bar is displaying the words matching what you've already put into.....

:)
[HD2 General] datzent83:
I don't like the the original suggestion method. I like the one in the screenshot as it gives me more options and I like FingerKeyboard better as it has more options.
[Nexus One General] john206:
I recently discontinued my data plan for nexus one and my friend asked me to root his g1. I wasn't sure if it would work since I was using my simcard.

As I downgraded g1 to rc29, I had 3g!!! I thought may be wifi is on or something. but wifi was off.i searched market,web and I had fast connection!

later when i changed his rom to 2.1 eclair 3g was gone. Then I put my sim in nexus and I had again 3g for like 10 mins and it was gone. But i had 3g on g1 withr rc29 more than 2 hours.

I don't know if downgrading to different roms or radio may give everyone free data plan but I was curious if this might happen for anyone else and our incredible Developers have any idea about it.
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
What did you develop again?

This has to be due to the IMEI numbers or phone switch till the t-mo servers were updated. This could also cause data charges on the bill.

Data is HIGHLY regulated and they are sure to find out AND bill you for the usage of their service. This is the phone development section, not try to get away with free 3g.
[Nexus One General] jamezracer:
evilkorn is right. When the tmo base stations see a new imei number they offer all services to make sure that you get data if you need it while they check the sim card against their servers. Once the figure that you don't have a data plan, they cut the data service. I'm afraid you will be charged for the data use.
[Nexus One General] john206:
evilkorn you dont need to be too harsh one me :) of course im not a developer and just curious!

I thought it's ok to post it here. Well you guys know more than me. Im ok if i got charged. Thanks for replies :)
[Nexus One General] evilkorn:
How was I harsh?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614062
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I would wait for the bill before you say you are ok with it. A while back I made some changes to my service in the evening and the next morning not quite 14 hours later I and had already built up 47 bucks in data charges because they had accidentally stopped my data plan. The kicker would be I did not use data myself and by that I mean browsing or using other data consuming apps during that time, it was just the phone downloading weather updates, email, etc. The charges add up scary fast man.
[Nexus One General] john206:
I know what you are saying. but I just browsed market and web for like 5 min and turned it off. an hour later i turned it on and changed the rom. Btw my nexus is unlocked and it doesnt appear on tmobile website.They think I have a outdated motorolla lol

ps i asked them to disconnect data 2 3 days before that and its not my fault i got 3g :D even my tmobile doesnt show any data usage
[Nexus One General] cymru:
If I didn't buy a data plan i could still go on 3G. Id just pay per MB rather than buy, say 500MB, at the start of the month on my monthly contract.

I don't get this thread at all. Just cos your not signed into a contract to get data, doesnt mean you cant use data....
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
i think you are really confused. Data has nothing to do with whether your phone is a registered t-mobile phone or not. they care that your sim is accessing their data. you WILL be charged for data per mb. You would see a 3G signal even if you had no data plan, you just wouldn't be able to connect.
[Nexus One General] john206:
i do see 3g signal with my nexus right now and yes i cant connect.but when i changed phone to g1 and only on Rc29 rom i could access market and internet.when i upgraded to eclair 2.1 , 3g access was gone.again i downgraded and 3g was back. I also tried an att simcard(g1 was also unlocked) and no data. so that is why i assumed only on Rc29 3g was really working.
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
Tmobile has no idea what rom your phone is on. It probably has something to do with the IMEI changing. Expect a large bill.
[Nexus One General] egzthunder1:
Thread moved since it isn't related to rom development.
[Nexus One General] john206:
I also contacted Tmobile and asked if i used a retail nexus without data plan and no contract, am i able be to use the phone and not get charged? she said, u wont be able to connect to 3g even if it says 3g and no we wont charge you! and its ok not to have data plan.
[Nexus One General] john206:
i just temporarily took out my sim from nexus in order to root my friend's phone which is g1. as u know when you, u need to flash a basic rom(which is Rc29) and after u can flash any rom u want.

i did this a week ago and i called tmobile and no im not charged:)
[Nexus One General] john206:
the reason i say im not worried is that i used g1 with my simcard for 5 mins.i turned the phone off.hour later i used it again and still had access,then i flashed a eclair and data was gone. so even if they charge me, i didnt use that much data in 5 min :).

ps i called them and im fine :D
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Are you in the US? Your service providers are such balls. All I hear on these forums is problems with T-Mobile and AT&T 3G access and whatever.

Thank god for the UK where everything isn't sh!t :-)
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
T mobile doesn't charge per megabyte of data, either you have data or you don't.
[Nexus One General] cymru:
Thats stupid. In the UK if you don't have a data plan on your contract you pay per MB used or MB over your data plan allowance. On Orange anyway
[Nexus One General] john206:
you are right. I did call them and they confirmed if you don't have data plan, you are not gonna get charged :)
[Nexus One General] john206:
lol yes i am in US
[Nexus One General] john206:
Folks tmobile doesnt care if you change your phone or not. if you use unlocked

phones and no contract plan, there is no extra charge.

so far everybody mentioned their opinions but nobody has any idea why 3g works

with old roms and radios (on g1). one member said, tmobile servers were not updated,thats why 3g was working. however, when i changed roms or cellphone,it was updated in a min.
[Nexus One General] hah2110:
Of course there is a charge for data if your phone is unlocked. They have no clue if your phone is locked. Nor do they know what rom is on your phone.
[Nexus One General] miketlo:
Im just waiting for the OPs phone bill to come in.
[Nexus One General] john206:
no there is not, I called tmobile and asked :D
[Nexus One General] john206:
you don't have to wait, i mentioned before, i was not charged at all, i didnt jump to post a thread after i found out the 3g worked. i waited long enough :D

that's why i say it's interesting!

[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Here's an article posted at http://geekfor.me that is by far the best explanation I've ever seen on this issue:

Another great resource:

A video from Google's Android Team:

Androidology - Part 2 of 3 - Application Lifecycle

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITfRuRkf2TM
​

And finally:

Check out the application "Task Manager". You'll notice dozens of processes running that you didn't even know were running. Here's my phone right now:

Look at the CPU usage column (the rightmost column) and notice that almost everything is at 0%. (The exception is TaskManager which is constantly polling since it's the active app. Menu -> Quit stops it.)

This is the best visualization that killing "running" apps will do nothing, since they're not really doing anything anyway. I have all these apps open yet they're all using 0% CPU. And I have "only" 47 MB free.

From monitoring this over the weeks, I've had as many as 60+ processes listed, and as few as 10. I've had as high as 200+ MB free and as low as 30 MB.

And my phone ran just the same. :cool:
​

Get rid of all your task killers for a week (and get WatchDog instead) and see how your phone feels. :cool:

Hope this helps clear up any confusion.

[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Paul is always great for good information. Everyone should look over his comment's to learn new things :)

Got a question though, with certain apps like Music and SIPagent there's not a way to close them. I can only pause music and there's no way to exit SIPagent without using a task killer. Shouldn't I use a task killer on these two applications?
[Nexus One General] jblazea50:
that's a good question; some apps doesn't have that quit button, like the Skyfire browser, so if i were to use the browser and close it, will still be running in the background? shouldn't i have to kill that app somehow?

anyway, will remove task killers now and give it a shot
[Nexus One General] Amrosorma:
Great thread as always, Paul, but which "Task Manager" are you talking about?

http://www.appbrain.com/search?q=task+manager

There are quite a few :)

I don't use a task manager, but I *have* used SeePU++'s task kill feature a couple times.

I think I found it:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.houmiak.taskmanager

And if you guys don't believe Paul:
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
They all work the same way as described in the post. You don't have to quite Skyfire, the Music app, SIPagent, or anything at all. Read through the post again, the Android OS will stop those when it needs memory.

For example, if Music is playing, it asks the Android system to consider it foreground, so it will never get forced to quit. But when music is paused it just runs as a normal app. When Android needs the memory, it force quits it immediately.

Same with Skyfire, it will remain loaded in the background if no other process needs the memory. This way if you leave and go back to it quickly it will be there, and won't have to reload. When something else needs the memory Android closes Skyfire. If you force it to close all the time, you only force it to load more often when you need it again, wasting time and battery life.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
So how do I get more ram?
[Nexus One General] Amrosorma:
You don't. Applications will be closed automatically by the OS when you need more RAM.

Re: FAQ: Why You Shouldn&#146;t Be Using a Task Killer with Android (geekfor.me)

I have a problem with the way android does this multitasking because when I send opera or skyfire to the background, I want it to stay there no matter what. Most of the time It's still there when I switch back to it in a few moments. But sometimes the OS has decided to close it, even though I only switched away a few moments ago to read a quick email, and my webpage is completely gone. This is a major problem for me. It's especially maddening when you then see that the OS closed opera or sky fire to pre load a bunch of apps that I haven't used in a month. Like sms backup. That's an app that I need once a month to back up my texts. So I DON'T want to uninstall it.

[Nexus One General] krabman:
I agree with your post but there are a few reasons to have an app that allows you to control your apps and yes, kill them from time to time. The main one is some apps need to run in the background to work properly and it can be a quicker way to kill them when you are done with them. One I use like this is trapster. Trapster uses a lot of battery. In order to kill it I have to switch to it and drill a menu. I dont kill it because of memory concerns, I kill it because of battery usage which is not a fault, it needs to run in the background to work properly. Rather than do that though I just click one icon and kill all with my tool of choice, systempanel. I'll get back to that.

Systempanel gives you a lot of information about what your apps are doing both in real time and can log. CPU cycles used, data, etc. With it you can easily locate that app that is killing your battery or just get real data about your processes and their consumption. Just a few days ago my battery took a 10% dump in an hour and I had not even been using the phone. Only took a minute with systempanel to figure out an app I had called quick settings had been smoking crack and gone bat**** on me. One uninstall/reinstall later, all good. Try that with atk. I set up so that all my frequently used apps are excluded from a kill all as well as lower level processes. This means in the odd case like after running trapster when I kill all I'm only killing apps that would have likely been completely shut down and need to fully restart anyways and I probably wasnt going to use them regardless because they are not frequently used apps. In other words I lose somewhere between very little and nothing but save the hassle of drilling menus to kill an app I want to stop. Im pretty high on this app, you can read more here http://androidforums.com/android-ap...task-killer-people-who-hate-task-killers.html
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Re: FAQ: Why You Shouldn&#146;t Be Using a Task Killer with Android (geekfor.me)

I understand all that, but I DON'T run anything but stock apps plus opera. So I DON'T have any unique situations of certain apps needing to be running for things to work properly. If you saw my system panel list you would see how downright simple my phone setup is, yet something like opera can't even stay open because the OS killed it. It's a horrible multitasking mechanism.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
I was responding to a different post Roger, sorry for the confusion. Yours and several others came in before I was done typing.

I have had that one a couple times myself. I have been keeping my eye out for a good startup manager. Something that will allow me to stop amazon and others alltogether as well as manage when apps can startup. Something along the lines of only when the phone has been asleep for a set amount of time and so on. Might be a guy could make it so that the problem is reduced that way although it doesnt attack the problem directly.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Re: FAQ: Why You Shouldn&#146;t Be Using a Task Killer with Android (geekfor.me)

Oh sorry I got confused.

Well anyway I don't have it in me to make a long detailed post, but I'm finding that android's multitasking is seriously flawed on a fundamental level. In fact it does the exact opposite of what I'm trying to do in many instances.

One quick example, load up a few webpages in the default browser, maybe an article or 2 and have the pages fully load so they are there to read. Great, now minimize the browser and go to the homescreen and then back to the browser. Your pages are still there, good.

Now I lost my data connection cause I'm commuting on the the train to work in a tunnel. If I open up any other app the OS closes the browser. When I reopen the browser all my loaded pages are still there in memory to read, but the browser immediately tries to refresh the pages, which won't work cause no data connection, and now my cached page disappears. Horrible. I purposely loaded those pages to read offline. The ass kicker is that all the while this happened because the OS decided to pre load a bunch of apps during this time which were not running previously and caused this browser to close. Apps I've not used in weeks, yet the app I WANT suffers.

I have more extreme examples but don't have the energy to post them now. But Google has closed out this item on their suggestion/bug forum.
[Nexus One General] Eclair~:
You could easily download taskpanel, and add apps you do not need to the "auto kill list". I didn't know stock (which you said you were on a while ago) was so horrible when it came to memory, your problems don't even exist on my phone. I'm curious, if you installed Cyanogen would your problems away. If my browser closed on me after having too many apps open, I would be irritated as well.

I can have about 50-60 applications idle, or whatever, and the browser would never close. I don't use Opera, or Skyfire, though.
[Nexus One General] rori~:
Nice find, I got this article since a couple of weeks in my signature, in another forum and killed my taskkiller since then :)
[Nexus One General] Whiterin:
I use a Task Manager that separates system tasks from app tasks. Anything I use on a regular basis, or even at all, including widgets I use and such, I add to the ignore list. I use it to kill background apps that try to run when they don't need to run. Why don't they need to run? Because I don't need stocks and twitter apps running because I don't use them and it won't let me uninstall them. Next best thing to do is to put them on an auto kill list, though it isn't quite aggressive enough. I really don't want to root just to uninstall the massive amount of bloat that comes from Telstra.
