Not the case I am afraid.

Hero must run an earlier version of the android OS that the Nexus One. Because what you suggested was the very thing I first tried before starting this thread. Android 2.1 is smart enough or stupid enough (depending on your point of view) to prevent adding "Unknown" numbers to contact.

Normal number in call history, long press gives:

Call 1234567890

Edit number before call

Send text message

Add to Contacts

Remove from Call log​

Unknown number in call history, long press gives:

Remove from Call log​

So as you can see the lack of an "Add to Contacts" choice means I am currently snookered. What android is on your Hero and do you get the same list of options as shown above when you long press an unknown number?

Perhaps the functionality you described was removed without thought to unintended consequences in OS2.1 . They might put it back in with OS2.2 with any luck.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] smoothone:
Yes I heard you the first time. I just tried to suggest an easy way to get rid of the unknown calls because I figured why would anyone want to here an annoying ringtone for a call that he probably doesn't want to pick up! This is why I have such few posts but I have been a member here for a lot longer than most people! You sound really angry there bud ^_^
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] logger:
Nah not angry bud. Just pointing out that your suggestion (for which I thanked you) does not assign ringtones to unknown callers and therefore is not a solution for me. Will be interesting to see if Froyo does this any differently. I am guessing not.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jahmusic:
I would like to know an answer to this as well. I just upgraded to nexus one from treo 680. IN the Treo it was a simple matter to assign a particular ringtone to unknown numbers, in fact it was a menu option in call settings.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] logger:
Isn't it interesting how the Treo has it as a Menu option. Where as for all intensive purposes it is not possible in the Android OS.

I now have Android OS 2.2 on my N1 and it remains unchanged. Still no obvious way to assign a discrete ring tone to an Unknown caller. Plenty off apps to block/kill Unknown/Private calls. But no way to simply give them a discrete ringtone.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Moomintroll:
Just to add that I've also wanted this since I first got my Hero - it should be possible without having to resort to using an app, though i'd be grateful for an app if it existed
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mikebeatrice:
You guys should request it for CyanogenMod or ask WYSIE if it's possible to add to his Contact.apk mod.

Here's a stupid question though... have you tried first going into the options for contacts and UN-checking "only contacts with phones" and then see if you can have a contact that doesn't have a phone number attached named "Unknown" ? I realize it's a long shot, but maybe you were only trying to add it when that option was checked....

[General Questions and Answers] Blake.AnRKist:
I am in a bad situation with my rooted, now semi-bricked G1 =[

I had cyanogenmod and RA recov. I installed a new theme directly from the CM updater app; then on reboot, my phone would not boot into the OS (stuck on logo, before loading screen). So I tried to overwrite the phone with cyan again. It wouldn't work so then I was left to flash the phone and start over. Upon flashing, I got that b#$6h of an error. Then the "RUUNBH".

Now upon turning on my phone (In any way) it comes to the colured screen. When I try to flash a nbh, I get the "not allow" because my SD card needs to be a gold card.

The only method now is to gold card my SD. Which I cannot figure out anymore because all the methods I would need a WinMo phone or an working Android phone, neither I have access to.

In short, does anyone know how I can get a SD card's CID without a phone. I DO have a laptop with a sd card reader and CAN get access to a external USB sd card reader.

Any help? :(
[General Questions and Answers] r3s-rt:
Buy a cheap winmo phone? Something that has whats required. There has to be an old one that can do it for like 20 - 30 dollars. I don't think it's possible otherwise.
[General Questions and Answers] Blake.AnRKist:
I think it may be possible to get the CID with a sdcard slot (not USB), usually within a laptop. Recently, I found this: jo0ls-dotnet-stuff.blogspot.com/search/label/SD%20Card%20CID

I used his source and threw in a couple lines to debug why it wasn't working, but it seems the laptop I own doesn't have a support SD card slot, so I will have to go see someone who has a internal SD slot on their laptop.

A winmo phone for $30?... By any chance of pointing me in the direction of such item(s)? (I am Australian)

Thanks for your suggestion. But it is possible that you would still need to get her a CID. I am wondering if it is possible to overwrite the whole SD card through the tool that is used to edit your SD card and into a 'goldcard'.

I PMed the person who was recommended in that thread, fingers crossed.

SD card reader that can read SD/MMC 32 bit CID

Hi There

I think this might be useful to anyone that sits with the problem of reading the 32 bit serial number/CID of a SD/MMC card.

I have managed to get firmware written for the Addonics eSata/USB multi-card reader model AEPDDESU with a small application that will read and display the CID number.

There is no other way to read the CID number through USB on PC other than having the the chip set inside the reader relay the information back to the host when it receives an application defined command,like for instance DeviceIoControl.

If anyone is interested drop me a mail and i will gladly mail u the firmware + utillity .One will need to buy this drive though.:cool:

Unfortunatelly i have problem with sd cards because i always get serial number of card reader and not serial no od SD card.

Is there some way to get serial no from SD card via Card reader? Can you send me the model of card reader which is possible to read this SN + Software?

Is there some dll or component for reading usable for .net visual basic?

[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
Anybody heard anything yet about what the battery life is supposed to be like with this phone? I know when I came from the TP to the hero my increase in battery life was like night and day. I am wondering since this has a fast processor and more memory if the battery life will be less than the hero. It just seems to be a waste to have a phone with these kind of features only to be crippled by low battery life. I hope it isn't.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
It is more than likely be less than the hero, it has the same size battery mah wise as the hero but the voltage req will probally be slightly higher, so that will mean larger physical size. As far as run time, 4g sucks more juice than 3G, snapdragon at full speed 1ghz sucks more down than the 528 MHz in the hero and the bigger physical screen will also need more power than the smaller hero screen, they both use LCD as apposed to amoled which is amazingly good on your battery. They could and probaly should have went with amoled in my opinion.

I can only speculate but the stock 1500mah battery will probally see an 3600 mah extended battery from seidio about 3-4 months after release, about double the physical size of stock battery and extended back protruding 2-3 mm from the back of the current thickness. The evo is a rather thin phone comparatively so that shouldn't effect it. They usually run around 60-70 usd.

I will definitely be getting one if what I believe is correct, but the only potential problem will be the kickstand, I'm currious as how hay are going to overcome that obstacle. My guess is you will have to sacrifice it like some other phones like the palm pre extended battery that made you get rid of the touchstone functionality. They are good at molding compatible plastic moldings, and great at the batteries themselves, but not so good at engineering anything else into it.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
i am going to have to agree with the post above...

same battery cap as the Hero, but with everything bigger and needing more power to function...guessing there will be a lot of people that will be complaining about the battery life (including me!).

I think HTC needs to reconsider this before they release this phone to the market. I am sure they can put 1800-2000mah battery in there.

since we are comparing HERO and EVO... and that we know they will have the same kind of screen...

The Hero's screen is very tough and scratch resistant. I have seen and tested the durability of the screen and I love it!!! :eek:

Will the EVO's screen have they same awesome tough screen?? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
yes it should, the hd2 has the same screen, and it's basically a hardware clone of that phone, very nice and tough. HTC has done very wise in going with the tempered glass, costs more, but definitely worth the added cost.

I heard the moto droid has an even tougher screen with their "gorilla glass" technology. I haven't seen one first hand so I can't compare, but after 2 face first drops from waist height with no screen protector, the hero's screen is as nice as the day I got it. I'm hopeing I can say the same for the evo once I get it, but I'm fairly confident it will.
[EVO 4G General] Manicmobileaddict:
hd2 tough screen video

There's a video out there somewhere of a guy hammering his hd2 screen with a key and not a scratch.

hd2 extended battery actually gave it the kick stand. I imagine the an evo extended battery will have one too.

I wonder if it will stand up on its own in the portrait orientation like my Mogul does (it has sort of a foot). Doesn't look like it from the pictures.
[EVO 4G General] Scott Spillers:
No, but it does look like the kickstand might work with EVO in portrait or landscape orientation. We won't know for sure until we can get our hands on it.
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
Hero Battery life is crap.

On my Hero, I get about 3/4 a day's worth of battery... but that might because I am running rooted 2.1 on the device that is not optimized for my phone, but as long as the phone can get me through one full day on the device, I will be fine.
[EVO 4G General] gsmsosv:
Lol, people act amazed every time they see this done to a glass screen, and it makes me wonder just what they're being taught in science class these days. Glass is harder than the metal your keys are made from so of course it won't scratch. Same thing with razor blades and pretty much any other metal they throw it at in videos like these. What they don't show you is that sand will still tear your screen a new arsehole. Unless you live somewhere absolutely devoid of sand, this phone is still going to need a protector or a slip case.
[EVO 4G General] Aridon:
I've never had problems with my screen getting scratched without a protector. Back on topic though I'm a little worried about the evo's battery life. I get great life on my hero but with all the added goodies I know the evo will get far less. Fortunately I'm rarely without a power source so unless it's totally horrible I'll deal with it.
[EVO 4G General] ihakr:
Evo without 4G?

I live in an area without WiMax (for now), so do you guys think that if I don't have the WiMax radio on it will get at least a days worth of battery?
[EVO 4G General] Rose4uKY:
I read the Touch Pro 2 Battery will work on the EVO anyone know if that's true? I don't remember if numbers of it but I am wanting to say 1400 and i have an extra one that's less..
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
The EVO uses a RHOD160 1500mAH battery... The battery commonly found in the TP2, I believe.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=677678
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
Not having WiMax or having WiMax will have no significant impact on battery life at all. I have no idea what your phone use habits are so it would be hard to say if you'd get a day out of it or not.
[EVO 4G General] Rose4uKY:
Thanks, So even my generic extra would work then?
[EVO 4G General] keatre:
Technically speaking, if you were to turn the WiMAX antennas off, you would increase battery life. The Evo offers the ability to connect to 4G and if not, then 3G... OR... Just 3G, thus turning the WiMAX antennas off.

Will this increase it significantly? Can't really tell you much yet.

As long as your extra is a RHOD160 1500 mAh, you should be fine -- no worries.
[EVO 4G General] Sebrina:
If you turned your 4G radio off your 3G radio would take over and I don't see a significant improvement there, now if you turned all data radios off you would definitely see an improvement but at what cost? You'd basically be carrying around a phone with no data capabilities.
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
I am not sure about the battery. I thought the touch pro 2 battery was the one that works in the hero. It would be surprising to find the hero battery working in the EVO although I would not complain.
[EVO 4G General] johnsongrantr:
you can specify what type of connection in the stock image of sprint android devices. You can tell it 1x or evdo or auto, I would venture to guess they will have a similar option to disable 4g in areas it's not available in.
[EVO 4G General] mrono:
I think that turning the 4g radio off in areas with no 4g rather then leave it on would help battery life, thus it wouldn't be looking for a 4g network all the time
[EVO 4G General] Rose4uKY:
My one that came with the phone says RHOD160 1500 MAH . The generic one says 1400 mAh 3.7 V. And under the ID number it says HTC with numbers and letters. So will 1400 not work? Reason I am asking is one extra battery is all I will really need. I have this cradle that charges the extra battery now while my Touch Pro 2 is in the cradle/ But my friend is getting the same phone switching from a BB Tour. I said oh I don't need 2 extra batteries I'll give you one of mine which of course was going to be the generic one. But then I thought about buying back my phone to Sprint when I get the EVO which is 82 bucks. Almost as much as selling it for a 100.. So I don't know what to do yet..

As long as your extra is a RHOD160 1500 mAh, you should be fine -- no worries.[/QUOTE]
[EVO 4G General] ElAguila:
So do we know for sure if it uses the same battery as the TP2? I have a couple of spares for my hero since it uses the same battery as TP2 I could use them on the EVO as well.
[EVO 4G General] Rose4uKY:
Several people say yes the same 1500 mAh. I have an extra one for my Touch Pro 2 but it's a generic one and only 1400 so I am pretty sure it probably won't work but I don't know. But I just read on Android Forums that someone called and spoke to HTC and there trying to say no that the EVO battery will be 1700 mAh but who knows. They say on the FCC site it list 1500 so I am saying yes I bet it will..

[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:
I just flashed fixxxed ROM v3 (no sense) and followed the JIT instructions exactly (found here)

How to install & enable JIT [R]

* Download the needed files: VMLibs
* Create 2 folders on your sdcard: “jit” & “dalbk”
* Extract the vmlibs.zip to the “jit” folder on your sdcard
* Using ADB pull your build.prop

ADB pull /system/build.prop C:\build.prop

* Add the following line to the end of the build.prop: dalvik.vm.execution-mode=int:jit
* Save it & push it back to your “jit” folder on the sdcard

ADB push C:\build.prop /sdcard/jit/build.prop
ADB shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock6 /system
# cp /system/build.prop /sdcard/dalbk/
# cp /system/bin/dalvikvm /sdcard/dalbk/
# cp /system/lib/libdvm.so /sdcard/dalbk/
# cp /system/lib/libnativehelper.so /sdcard/dalbk/
# cd /sdcard/jit/bin
# cp -f dalvikvm /system/bin/
# busybox chmod 755 /system/bin/dalvikvm
# cd /sdcard/jit
# cp -f libdvm.so /system/lib/
# cp -f libnativehelper.so /system/lib/
# cat build.prop >/system/build.prop
# chmod 644 /system/lib/libdvm.so
# chmod 644 /system/lib/libnativehelper.so
# chmod 666 /system/build.prop
# sync
# mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtd/mtdblock6 /system
# reboot

The only error I encounter is re-mounting to read only... i get a device busy error.

Its been approximately 15 minutes.

I have no applications installed.

Just wiped EVERYTHING (SD EXT partition, data, dalvik) then flashed the ROM, rebooted a few times then did the JIT instructions.

It goes to the sprint boot image, then stuck on the white HTC screen.

What did I do wrong?

Is there a way to pull a boot log to see what's happening?
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
I cant think of anything but to open up the sdcard on your comp and make sure it has /sdcard/jit/bin and the file inside of it.

you can put the file that is inside of /jit/bin in /jit/

and then type the command

cp -f dalvikvm /system/bin/
[Hero CDMA General] poor_red_neck:

Thanks for the help!!!!!!!!!

I'll see how long I can go w/o camera. Im loving this overclocked with JIT.... freakin BLAZING!!!

I'm a HUGE fan of Sense... I just hope I can get used to android without it.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
use "zeam" launcher.. Not sure 100% if it works with jit, but you can be the first to test.. If it locks up, you can always reboot and it will run fine long enough so you can change the launcher (thats if it even locks up).

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=6189091#post6189091

-I only used zeam for couple mins and went back to helix. I like the bottom row of widgets, helps clean up the homescreen alot.

-And beautiful widgets" paid app in the market for clock widget.

If you run jit long enough youll eventually just get used not using sense. Going back to sense without jit just sucks for me now.

It seems a bit more buggy. I've noticed some odd screen drawing issues and even jaggy lines. Maybe it's my laptop?

Most apps seem slightly updated and more polished. A few quirks here and there.

To launch it use the same process as before... "xde.exe WM70C1AprilUnlockedv2.bin"

Gizmodo posted a How to: Try Windows Phone 7 now. Although that was for the previous build, the same general steps apply. You'll just need to use the emulator bin above and the new Dev tools CTP - April Refresh. It will NOT work with the February release.
