I rooted and put Damage's rom on my phone a few weeks ago when the 2.1 leak came out. When I was on 1.5 and I would watch a movie from my sd card, all the lights on the phone would go out (except the charging light if plugged in). It wouldn't matter if it was light out or in a dark room, the bottom panel lights would all turn off.

I noticed in damage's rom, they stay on when watching videos. This is slightly annoying to my wife at night when she wants to sleep. That light is so bright it lights up the entire room. I just flashed Fresh 2.0d just to try it out and decided to check the lights when watching video there, and it's the same thing.

Is there a way to fix that?
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
HA!

at last! a reason the light sensitive leds can be considered a BUG.

this just made my day.

thank you.

and no theres no fix
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Lol, I actually miss the "broken" trackball light, I'd just as soon disable it all together if I knew how.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
So you are saying the way it was on 1.5 was considered broken and now it's not?

Is there a way to break it again? LOL
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
its all a matter of opinion. anyone who knows me knows i made love to my trackball led for so long on 1.5 that when i switched to 2.1 i went into withdrawls.

id advice nandroiding to 1.5 everysingletimeyouwanttowatchamovie (j/k)

live with until the evo

bigger screen, and hey! no trackball!

oh, yeah, and a FN KICKSTAND
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Ok for a real answer to the trackball.. We dont have source to the .29 kernels that the 2.1 roms use. Trackball and camera are 2 main things no one knows much about. The only fully working trackball (in every way, like in movies) will be on the 1.5 roms as of now. Until sprint releases its update, or releases the .29 kernel.

Or if some dev like toast wanted to spend every moment back porting the trackball to the .27 kernel. Which for most of the people here, it would be a waste.
[HD Mini General] Dodolom:
Hi guys,

I am completely new to the whole Android stuff so forgive me if my question sounds stupid.

Anyways,

I am interested in getting a HTC HD Mini but I hate the fact that it has Windows Mobile OS on it. Is it possible to run Android on this phone right now/or will it be possible in the future??? And if so,is it going to be running like the normal android with all the features,etc???

Thanks so much in advance,

Dogan

Hi. Considering the fact that HD mini is quite equal in price to the Legend, why not get that one?

I get frustrated everytime I click on one of these post where someone is crying for help. Here I think it's because their phone is crashed but in reality they were too lazy to take the time to READ and SEARCH. Waste of everyone one's time, cluters the server with meaningless threads that people who actually try to figure things out have to sort through and it takes up server space.

[Desire General] Tunay:
Helle guys!

I'm most likely going to buy Desire tomorrow. My HD2 changed the Lockcode automaticly today. And I'm so tired of the SMS bug and all that other things so I'm going to trash it.

My question is, can I synch Desire with my hotmail? I have everything over there, Calendar, Contacts, Mails, etc.

I love the way this function is intregrated in Leo.

Thanks for reading guys...
[Desire General] djind:
Yes, you can sync the desire with hotmail. I think server is pop3.live.com and smtp is smtp.live.com. I have set it up and works fine. I don't know if this is an EU only thing or USA as well..

Not too sure about anything more than the email. I have google calendar and contacts, which works best for obvious reasons..

Good luck
[Desire General] Tunay:
Hey!

Thank you dude!

I'm going to buy it then.
[Desire General] zoidinger:
You can't really sync with Hotmail. The only thing you can do is receiving your emails trough pop3. You cannot sync your calendar or your contacts as there is no native hotmail or windows live app/integration for android.

What you could do is import your hotmail account into gmail and then sync your desire with gmail and you'll get your contacts and calendars and of course your e-mails. You can even send your e-mails from you gmail account with a different e-mail adress. After the import you can set your gmail account to query the pop3 hotmail server every 15 minutes to get your mails.

Did this for my girlfriend, so she can get all her mails from hotmail including contacts and calendar.
[Desire General] Tunay:
Well, I just bought this phone and are at home right now. I have heard about this before, I'm going to try it out :)
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
I have the Sprint Hero, and used the stock rom for 5 months,

DC 2.05

DC 2.07

and currently fresh rom 2.0, The keyboard lag is rediculous on this thing, and one of the worst keyboards I have ever used. The lag makes it unusable..

I have installed the 2.1 HTC IME keyboard, the 1.5 stock HTC KB, and the same one on the droid eris. Nothing helps.

The droid eris' keyboard works perfectly for some reason and for the hero, it sucks. It seems everyone will comment saying

"Mine doesn't lag"

If someone cannot come up with a possible fix, can someone please explain why their is lag on the HTC KB.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
you might consider using xdas

lotsa options :-D

not sure if its more lightweight and less lag, and i hate to say it but...mine doesnt lag and i have no explanation

try regawmods rom. he has a black keyboard, its pimp. i found that while i dont experience LAG per-say, when compared to his, his was much more RESPONSIVE.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I'll join in. Mine has lag and I couldn't figure it out. I just installed Fresh 2.0d today to see if it's different. So far... no.
[Hero CDMA General] radxcoresteven:
I agree with you, mine did lag. I'm using Sushi rom and the black htc keyboard is very responsive. Also, the AOSP keyboard never lagged one bit. I love it.
[Hero CDMA General] Quis89:
I'm running Fresh 2.0d. I'm also using Better Keyboard from the market...and I have no lag. The only time I will notice lag is if the phone is recieving a call while I'm texting, or if an app is installing after download. Aside from that...I'm not noticing a lag.

I also keep my phone as clean as possible. I clear text messages once a week, often clear my call log, ect.
[Hero CDMA General] Leukay:
Its mostly the messaging app i've discovered. Try pushing this to your phone. It will give you the stock android 2.1 messaging app which I love, and it is much faster
[Hero CDMA General] ehiggins:
I started using the beta from swift key and it works nice.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
i have to agree. the keyboard lag pisses me off. i can't take it. turning off vibration helps which i dont mind and turning off sound helps but i do mind that. i would really like sound on this.
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
The 2.1 IME keyboards and the XDA keyboard both lagged for me. Luckily I only have to deal with it long enough to install Estrong's file explorer so I can slap Swype back on. I don't have any lag in Swype.

You could try the non-haptic keyboard here >> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=660506
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
For me it's not just text messages. It's everywhere on the phone. I will be in the web browser and typing in an address and i will take the e and it sits for a sec then a 3 shows up. Or, I will type and it will pop in the letter, but I can't hit another letter for another second or 2. 1.5 wasn't like this, but I can deal.

Does the better keyboard from the market have the voice to text option? I've been using that a lot lately.
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
I have the HTC Mms .apk that came with Fresh 2.0, but I am a noob, when it comes to the adb stuff, could you please or someone explain how to install the stock 2.1 Mms.apk , I will give it a shot and hope it works.

I hate to say this, but the one thing the iPhone has over this is the KB. I am not an apple fanboy, I prefer android. But the KB lag makes the phones only input method virtually unusable.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
1.5 was like this also. everything i tried has a keyboard lag. better keyboard is ok but it lags also.

every keyboard lags for some reason.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
the stock keyboard lags also. don't even bother but it is close to better keyboard in performance. i wish there was a way to boost protity on the keyboard apps.

is there an app for that???
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
exactly, and its not just texting, every text field its ridiculous.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
i just tried disabling everything in better keyboard and it isn't helping.

i tried looking for an apps that would increase the cpu priority on apps (keyboard) but i couldn't find any...
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
I dont think increasing the priority will help, but download Auto Memory Manager from the market.. Go to running processes, long hold it, and increase the priority or just say never kill, gives it the highest.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
i'm downloading and trying it now.
[Hero CDMA General] 4redstars:
I turned off Vibrate when typing and I don't lag one bit, prior to doing that I lagged a ton.
[Hero CDMA General] Quis89:
Yes........
[Hero CDMA General] mhxnut:
I have also experienced EXTREME lag in most of the 2.1 roms out right now. Esp. DC and Fresh. Turned off vibrations, turned off sound, installed every keyboard I could find including AOSP and it didn't help. The lag was all over the place too just like others reported - not just in text messages or email.

Then I found a fix...

A rom without Sense. So far it's the only thing that has worked for me (other than reverting back to a 1.5 rom - yuck). Ic3 and MatrixROM both have 0 lag and run beautifully for me. Haven't tried the newer Sense-less roms yet.

Hope this helps!
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
i'm using Ic3 as we speak :(
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Sushi and Ic3 I will confirm have no lag in the keyboard... I know because I used Ic3 before I made Sushi :) They both also don't use Sense. Sense is the devil.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
i'm not saying that you are lying but i have the lag. i have a few questions for you.

what keyboard are you using? what settings do you have? and what app do you think or what program do you think is making the keyboard lag???
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
thats good to hear, At least they have something figured out.

When using the android 2.1 stock Mms the lag is almost gone, or at least alot less, than the HTC Mms.

i know I will always have something to complain about with the phone haha, but the android Mms should have more deep colors to show which message is incoming and outgoing. Its white, and a very faint light, light blue, The HTC one at least at the pic for each person.

But this works for now, thanks for all the help, this website is one of the best.
[Hero CDMA General] mrinehart93:
Well, I disable all the feedback from the keyboard... ie. no haptic feedback, or button preview.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
what is your main keyboard so i can try it. i'm looking threw my apps and i'm going to kill everything and wait for a minute and start trying...
[Hero CDMA General] bob2300nx:
Definitly go with the AOSP keyboard. Or even better I am really liking better keyboard right now. It seems to be very responsive.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
turned off all the icons on the homescreen and everything else and it still does it so what i'm going to do is just reinstall the ice and not use any apps and see what happens.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
God damn it I want a hardware keyboard.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
please dont try this unless you dont mind messing up your phone i'm just posting what i am doing helpfully someone will find it usefull and find an even better solution.

i flashed this over my rom... i'm using ice

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670098

and then i booted and everything was fast and the KEYBOARD HAD NO LAG UNTIL beatiful widgets up top opened up with the weather..........
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
it's rather a software issue or a hardware issue with the screen(i don't think so.)

i had a palm pre and when it lagged (almost all the time) the keyboard letter would skip and not show up.

i also had a treo 800w and i dont even want to start with that.

my parents have the iphone 2g and 3g and there keyboard is perfect as butter so it can be done but just how is the question....
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
I just want a hard ware keyboard. Called me old fashioned.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
ok. i get you now. lol. get the moment then.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
Nah my girlfriend had a moment. I wanted to break it it was so frustrating.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
what wrong with it??? i thought it was faster then the hero because of the 800mhz cpu???
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
The software is(was) buggy as hell, nothing worked quite right, and her constant complaining about how she should have listened to me and gotten a Hero drove me mad.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
ha ha ha ha

i love when my girlfriend says "i should of listened to you" (as long as it doesn't affect me ;))

there should be a custom rom out there unless she is like my girlfriend "no i don't want to mess up my phone" (my girl has the droid)

right now the lag is much lower when i disabled the beautiful widgets weather. i will do more test to see what's up. i'm new to android so i can't just open up a rom and start doing stuff to it. lol.
[Hero CDMA General] abcdfv:
She went through 3 and got a Hero. She's running DC 2.07.2.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
lol. i had a pre and then i traded a girl i found on craigslist for the hero. :)
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
I also have the vibrate and silent widgets on one of my screens, it sounds stupid, but you never know maybe for some reason beautiful widgets interferes with the KB on the stock messaging app, I am using the 2.1 stock Mms now and it is alot, I mean alot better.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
well my test is to press search on the home screen and start typing random stuff. to see if it lags or not.
[Hero CDMA General] USAF22:
Count Me In

I have no idea what is up with this, but the terrible Touch Pro keyboard is what made me switch to the freaking Hero in the first place. And now even with all those keyboards and ROMs I haven't been able to get rid of the lag either, even on 1.5 and the AOSP keyboard. I can't believe it. And it frustrates me to no end because I love texting my friends (can't help it, teenager, or at least I used to before I got a smartphone); the only thing that I have been able to find to help so far is that buying the Smart Keyboard Pro has slightly improved the issue. For me, Swype was too slow, maybe it was just a matter of getting used to it, but I liked it more on my Touch Pro after my keyboard stopped working for the 3rd time. Hope that helps, and if anyone finds a real solution, I would be more than willing to pay as long as I can try it out as a demo first.

And I thought I was lucky for not having dust or anything else, except for the chipping paint, but I dare say this is worse. :mad:
[Hero CDMA General] spatel9114:
Yeah I've been using the AOSP keyboard, and it seems to be a bit quicker than the stock, and I never use vibrate or sound. I'm using fresh's ROM though, so I'm gonna try and get the default keyboard as well and see if that works any better. By the way, I do have Beautiful Widgets, but I just turned it off to see if it does anything in terms of lag.
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
I tried the stock aosp android KB and after using the HTC keyboard to long I couldnt go to the boring black one, not to mention the lag was not any better.

Google really needs to fix the Software KB on their phones. Even with the auto-correct, it needs work.

It doesn't learn your typing styles like the iPhone does. If i type in a phrase or a word every time after a certain word, it still doesn't learn to correct to that word.

For example, it sounds like a stupid example but.

If i type in "hello" 10 times a day, and type in "yello" by mistake, it will auto correct to "yellow" because it predicts what I am typing, instead of going to "hello"

their is no way to have spell correction turned on with prediction on also.

And to everyone who is using the stock HTC Mms, I highly advise uninstalling it and downloading the android 2.1 stock Mms, it really fixes the lag, its virtually gone, I take no credit for this I am just posting it for more people.

step 1.

Enable USB debugging, Applications>development.

Connect to pc.

type:

cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

adb remount

adb shell

cd /system/app

rm Mms.apk

reboot

Now keep in mind this will uninstall the Messaging app, so you will be stuck with the Mms unless you back it up.

then turn phone off, go into recovery and flash the attached Mms.zip and

now you have the stock messaging app.

I take no responsibility for any problems, but this all worked perfectly for me
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
is that asop mms stock 2.1 no sense android???
[Hero CDMA General] mjz147:
Yes, this is the one that is on the Nexus one, the 2.1 stock android one. Not HTC's

I removed the HTC Mms but I am not sure if you have to in order to flash the stock 2.1 app, you can try and flash, and basically have both and choose which one you want to default too.
[Hero CDMA General] jonesdana:
+1

Turned vibrate off and my KEYBOARD is saweet!!!!!
[Hero CDMA General] tstack77:
I really thought this thread would be littered with swype recommendations, and I'm a bit disappointed that it's not.

Swype has no lag and is the best soft keyboard you will ever use (imo)

Takes a day to get used to, but you will never use another after.

Try it
[Hero CDMA General] Droidish:
I agree... swype is waffle sauce.
[Hero CDMA General] donthewadd:
For some reason swype disabled multitouch (pinch to zoom) on my browser and my homescreen. Anyone else had that problem? Running fresh 2.0d.
[Hero CDMA General] R2D2-AKU2:
I'm running the xda keyboard that came with dc 2.07.2 and I found that turning off all feedback helps a lot. But its still not perfect. For example, I'm typing this message on the phone and its laggy as hell. For some reason, typing in form fields in the web browser is way laggier than other apps.

I'm also running the stock mms and it helps for texting but but not for other apps. The browser makes the worst lag for the keyboard. Otherwise, it seems to be pretty good with all feedback turned off.
[Hero CDMA General] nutswillkillme:
A point nobody touched on, probably a dev would have to answer, why did the eris leaked rom's have no lag and this sprint one has enough to spread between three phones. The first eris leak I had was gbhill's and that keyboard was amazing, and it was all htc sense, no aosp.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
the eris leak was the best leak because everything work i think because verizon has strict expectations for there devices unlike sprint which just says what ever but there was some bugs that wasnt address because of the sprint leak thats why no one isn't using that right now...
[Hero CDMA General] urthatguy:
Keyboard lag

I found rom's ,that dont use "sense ui", have no lag. Ices rom has no haptic feedback or lag and is vanilla android kb. I liked it better. I seemed to type better with it.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
i'm using this

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-hero-roms-hacks/9522-sprint-2-1-leak.html

choose option 3

the one under

"You want the 2.1 leak AND you want custom memory management like Gumbo 1.5 was done"

choose the mirror

it has sense stock android and the htc keyboard has no lag. i'm just going to remove the sprint apps except navagation and leaving it alone....

i'm going to try my email and load up my apps and see if it stays fast. i do have sound no vibration.
[Hero CDMA General] nutswillkillme:
wow, I didn't realize gbhil was still doing stuff with roms. I'll get this one as soon as I get home, his rom's were always the fastest in my opinion.
[Hero CDMA General] dondadah88:
his roms arent bad at all. i'm using option 3 but i may switch to a light weight one with less sprint stuff.
[Hero CDMA General] drbgotenks:
I am having the same problem. Having Swype does not outweigh multi-touch!
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Swype and Multi-touch both work fine on my phone. Using the black version of Swype (attached).
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
if you want no lag use swype...end of!
[Hero CDMA General] thematrixkid17:
Didn't see this posted in this thread, but I might have missed something because I just skimmed it. Keyboard lag was one of the reasons I made MatrixROM. Attached is the same exact version of the android keyboard that I've had such good luck with. Just flash from recovery, and turn vibrate off for best results.
[Hero CDMA General] drbgotenks:
That is the version I have installed. I have no idea why it disables multitouch on my phone. If anyone knows how to fix it, let me know.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I just flashed that and nothing has changed? I still have the XDA keyboard.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
Nevermind... Long pressed an input box and changed to the android keyboard... Still WAY laggy. In fact, I think it's worse than the HTC one.
[Hero CDMA General] CodeMonk:
I just paid for Better Keyboard. I was slightly impressed after turning off sound and vibration, but then went into the web browser and was again disappointed. Typing google search while in landscape mode was absolutely abysmal. I was on the 10th character before the 2nd one actually showed up on the screen, and then it was a symbol, not a letter i had typed.

Since it's doing the same thing the HTC keyboard is doing, I'll probably get a refund for better keyboard. It didn't seem like it was any better feature wise.
[Hero CDMA General] orris:
Removed the stock MMS app (I have Handcent) and pushed that to my phone. I cannot change to Swype for some reason. Do I need to stock MMS app for it to work?
[Hero CDMA General] danknee:
Nope. Go to settings >> Language & keyboard >> Select the check mark next to Swype and say OK. You can adjust the settings just underneath this if you wish (I lower box popup, lower trace, put accuracy dead center, disable audio, and disable tips).

Now on any text input area long press until you get options >> Select Input >> Pick Swype. You can switch back and forth between keyboards this way.
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
Hey guys, I switched to gumbo2.1, and I have to say, keyboard lag is markedly better than with wither DC or fresh. It is still there, but it is much better. I also seem to be having better accuracy than I have had in a while, and I have not calibrated since install.
