I know where you are coming from. All I was trying to say is that many forums will error on the side of caution and get rid of these threads.

I am not sure if there was a bunch of forums that got shut down that has brought the fear of god into the forum operators or what. I know forums get shut down all the time for warez(not just android) but I am not sure why they are so fearful about the ESN issue.

I think it is because a shutdown notice can be sent to the hosting site and the hosting site will blindly comply without looking into the issue. So the owner/operators of the forum have no say in the matter and can't argue their case.

Are you using a laptop? I had that problem, so used a desktop. Then after that it worked with the laptop. It is pretty simple thing to do.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muleguy:
Good idea aven. That is one of the things though that struck my mind late last night, although for a different reason. I was originally trying on a laptop running Win 7 Pro. Sometimes Win 7's a bastard about running programs designed for legacy communications. So, I installed the programs onto my desktop which is still on Win XP pro. Well, at least I was able to try QPST and QXDM on the desktop. My CDMA workshop license is tied to the laptop.

Anyway, I got the same errors on the desktop that I did the laptop.

And back to the idea I had about going back to a earlier software version, then attempting it...that didn't work too swimmingly either. In trying to research what earlier stock versions there were, I found that some Heroes came out with 1.29 and some with 1.56. Once a phone is at 1.56, it can never go back to 1.29. I don't know the history of this phone, if it came out with 1.29 or not, but either way its at 1.56 now. Either way, I reinstalled the stock 1.56 RUU which unrooted the phone. I haven't had time to root it again yet. But, with the stock 1.56 on, I still got the same errors when messing with the ESN/MEID.

I posted on another forum in the post that details this method asking if it can be confirmed that they are in fact changeable in 1.56. I also found some information about people using MTTY to log communications during this process. That is what I plan to do next.

Can anyone here confirm that they've seen it done on a Hero at 1.59?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Powers16:
Are you using the HTC usb data cord or a regular one? Could be worth looking into :)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aven_soulgazer:
Have you set up your ports in QPST Configuration? That solved my problems I think.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muleguy:
Yep...using the data cable that came new in the box with my wife's Hero.

Yes, while using QXDM, QPST is configured properly. I can use it to write to NAM, EVDO, etc., just not ESN/MEID. If the port isn't connected in the QPST configuration, QXDM won't even behave like a phone is there.

In CDMA workshop, the program itself grabs the com port. I've forgotten before and left QPST server running while opening CDMA workshop. When that happens, QPST has the port locked so that other programs (apart from QXDM) can't access it. At that point I have to shut down QPST server before I can connect the port in CDMA workshop.

Actually, I ran into the same problem when I tried what I mentioned earlier. I tried to connect the port in MTTY to log the communications. But then, I wasn't able to use CDMA Workshop or QXDM because MTTY had the port locked. :(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxxdnne:
Were you ever able to find a solution? Stuck here as well.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muleguy:
Lets just say programs like DFS and CDMA Workshop have come light years since this thread was started. ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aven_soulgazer:
I need to find the new versions then. I was one of the first to do it after the 2.1 update that I could find. Now I'm wondering if I could do it to a newer HTC phone
[Hero CDMA General] Nextelian:
Sprint has just encouraged employees to sign up as many referral customers as possible between now and August. Here is your chance to get a Hero for your friends or relatives, (no, you can't get the EVO this way...yet).

My email (please, no thank you emails :D): sal<dot>conti<at>sprint<dot>com

Last 3 digits of my EID: 646

www.sprint.com/sero

I am not a sales guy. I don't work retail, I'm in IT. I get no commission for doing this. Spread the love!

EDIT:: The rues for existing customers change all the time. I cannot say for sure whether they will allow for an existing customer to migrate over to a SERO plan or not. I would imagine no, but stranger things have happened.

EDIT v2 :: Here is the pertinent part of the fine print: Other Terms: No additional plan discounts apply.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Can existing customers switch over to this plan ?
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
i've never heard of sero??? what is it??? sorry....
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Cheaper plan

Everything Plus™ Data Family - with Any Mobile, AnytimeSM

1600	$109.99

where as im at what 1400 for 129.99 or something
[Hero CDMA General] looneylu:
sweet deal... can existing customers get in on this?
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Don't know, if so I wonder if i can also use my employee discount on top of it. Would bring me down an additional 25%
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
I am considering an upgrade and understand SERO and Everything Plus Messaging rate plans aren't compatible with all devices. What devices aren't compatible with these plans?

The Samsung Instinct, Samsung Instinct S30, Samsung Instinct HD, Samsung Moment, HTC Hero, Palm Pre and Palm Pixi are not compatible with SERO or Everything Plus Messaging rate plans. If you are considering an upgrade to one of these devices, you will need to also upgrade your rate plan to one of the Everything Plus Data (Individual or Family) rate plans.

I want to change rate plans, unrelated to a device upgrade. Can I do this? How?

Yes, you can change rate plans to any of the Everything Plus (Individual or Family) rate plans. SERO rate plans, however, are not available for rate plan changes. In order to change your rate plan, please email everythingreferral@sprint.com or call Sprint Care at 888-876-8381.
[Hero CDMA General] gapoochi:
do corporate discounts and recurring credits remain if we switch to this?

thank you!
[Hero CDMA General] Nextelian:
This information is a little bit old. Sometimes the plans change faster than the FAQ's. What are you trying to get? I see all of these phones listed on the SERO website.
[Hero CDMA General] Nextelian:
Probably not. This is really meant for new customer acquisition. Like I said, I am an IT guy :p
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
This is amazing, I just got service 2 months ago and Sprint's website says "Sorry, Everything Data Family 1500 has one of our older services that we don't support online." Nice to know as a new customer they will sell something outdated quick.
[Hero CDMA General] chfields:
I have the 1500/2 lines shared now and pay about $110 w/corp discount.....
[Hero CDMA General] centran:
Current customers can not switch over.

You would need to transfer your number to another carrier for a month and then come back.
[Hero CDMA General] Tenny:
Thanks. I've been looking at all my options if I switch to the EVO, but for me on an individual plan it's cheaper.

EPRP Everything Data 500 Minutes:

Plan $59.99

4G Charge: $10.00

TEP: $7

Total: 76.99 (pre-tax)

Everything Data 450 Minutes:

Plan: $69.99

4G Charge: $10

TEP: $7

Total (Pre Discount): $86.99

Corporate Discount: 20% ($17.40)

Total: 69.59 (pre-tax)

Yes, it's 50 minutes less but it qualifies as a premiere plan ( http://premier.sprint.com/?id9=vanity:premiercustomer ). So if anyone has a decent corporate discount you may want to consider just a regular plan.
[Hero CDMA General] kronium:
You can not apply any additional discounts to EERP. So if your getting 15% or more off your bill, then this isn't for you. Also if you're an existing customer, you have to temporarily go to another carrier and port your number back to get on the program. It was worth the trouble back in the old SERO days, not so much now though.
[Hero CDMA General] pgreptom:
I'll stick with what I have.. $56 a month for 450 minutes, unlimited data, unlimited texting. Have a medco employee discount of 23%, though.
[Hero CDMA General] waxfondlr:
i saw an account today today that was sero and the dudes work discount was on there somehow as well.. was paying like 30 dollars a month for everything:eek:..baller
[Hero CDMA General] iviyth0s:
I wan SERO :(, I'd love to jump on it with my hero.
[Hero CDMA General] Nextelian:
This could be caused by the sprint.com website. We've been suffering from unending flakiness since we upgraded to Sprint 2.0. All of our legacy plans should be manageable online...we are trying to cut down on the number of times customers have to call us for service.

Go back and try again, if you are still having problems I will enter a ticket for your issue :)
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Yeah it is still showing the same, amazing they can roll out the website when it's not ready but the upgrade to phone, nope. JK I am waiting on final of 2.1 Don't really care actually since my phone is running great. Nextelian I have a question, when did Sprint Premier go into effect ? Just curious how they are classifying new/existing customers for it.
[Hero CDMA General] mconigs78:
Premier has bee in effect for years now they just never really made it known to customers. Its 10plus years or 69.99 and up plan to qualify. I just found out about the yearly upgrading this past Jan. Now I wish I had waited for the EVO now. I like the Hero but this EVO blows it away.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
So basically it is 6 months till someone is eligible on one of the correct plans.
[Hero CDMA General] VinceOB:
I became eligible for Sprint Premier after 6 months of service. They sent me packets of information when I was transitioned over...
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Ok cool thanks for the heads up. Now it's only 9 more months till I can upgrade to an outdated device. Hehehe. Actually by the time I get to the new device, people have been working on it for a while and made it work right. I don't mind being behind. Will give me time to read up on the things to do to it.
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
Update on sero

"The plan activated on the account is Everything Data Share 1500. To

following information to begin participation:

Sprint employee e-mail address

The last 3 digits of the employee corporate ID (CID)

You can activate the new Everything Plus Referral plan by calling the

Teelsales department at 800-777-4681."

That was an e-mail I got this morning from ecare.
[Hero CDMA General] pseudoremora:
This is exactly how I was viewing my options. I used to have the SERO plan; but had to upgrade my plan to get the Hero (back in December 09). Looks like sticking with my current 450 Everything Data plan is the better route. However; I will have to pay for the Evo outright -- $450. But that's perfectly fine with me; I got the cash and quick frankly, I don't want to have to get a new number or go through the hassle of porting my number a million times.

By the way; I get a 30% Discount (My brother works or Sprint :D)
[Hero CDMA General] Sporkman:
Hey atm I pay 160ish a month for 4 LINES atm 1500 min family plan can o join this as a since I have Sprint atm? And would it save me money I get 27% discount a Month

[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
27% discount is better than the sero. I have 25% and I am cheaper.

No, current customer are not ale to change to SERO accounts at all unless they port-out their numbers to another carried and then port-in to a SERO account.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traetox:
Hey all,

I have been using my Eris with a bluetooth Stereo for a quite a while, but when I rooted the phone over to a 2.1 ROM it started using Simple Secure Pairing (SSP) when authenticating the bluetooth headphones. My car stereo doesn't support this (its brand new too...).

So, the question is has anyone ever looked into disabling SSP and forcing it to use the old static key method of pairing in 2.1?

I am not adverse to diving in and doing the dev work, I just wanted to make sure someone hasn't already done it. If I do need to dive in does anyone know if its possible to disable it via a config file, or will I need to backport the bluez stack?

Thanks for all the great work,

traetox
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denonlake:

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suppliesidejesus:
Oh, so that's what's up.

I'm having a similar problem with my Jabra Cruiser bluetooth speakerphone/FM transmitter. What mine does, though, is it will connect and I can use it to listen to music and do the normal speakerphone functions like it normally would, but none of the media buttons will work anymore. It's not a huge inconvenience, since I mount my phone in the car anyway (long commute). It's only a problem if I need to have Google Navigation in the foreground but still want to change songs.

Patiently waiting. You devs are awesome, if you don't get enough sycophantic slobbering already.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] traetox:
ok, so I did some digging on mine and it turns out that I can pair with a simple bluetooth headset via the '0000' key. But the phone attempts to go through the full key negotiation to connect the "bluetooth headphones." So i can get audio via the headset negotiated connection, but it sounds awful without full AD2P.

I am getting a ROM kitchen setup and will try and map the 1.5 bluez stack onto the 2.1 source and see where that gets me.

Thanks for the input.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denonlake:
Thanks for working on this! I've tried to incorporate some of the Bluetooth files as well as the WLAN.ko from other roms into my Rom but have been unsuccesful. I am running damage control 2.08 that I ported. I was originally unable to get WiFi or Bluetooth to work until I copied the WLAN.ko from the oc patch now both work minus the phone. Don't know if this helps but figured i let you know. If you have those files from a 1.5 Rom I will try them in my port and let you know what the results are.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letterboxdreams:
I have a Jabra Crusier, and I'm having an issue with a lot of ROMs where I can not connect to it and stream music over bluetooth. I have found that Aloysius v6 Maps rom by Spencer Moore works well with the bluetooth thing. You may have to connect and disconnect a few times here and there to get it to connect, but it's been the best ROM for it. I used V11 Maps and it worked for a little while, but stopped connecting properly just recently.

There are a few known bugs with v6, but I'm fiddling with V11 to try and get the bluetooth to stay perm. Once I get it, I'll let Spencer Moore know and get him any new updates I come across.

Just like many others, my Nexus buttons won't lit up after I flashed to custom desire roms. To enable it, we need to have a script running in the background. That's where GScript application comes to rescue. You can download the lite version from Market Place. After you have it installed, please follow the following instructions

1. Download and extract the attached file to your [SDCARD]://gscript/

2. Start GScript lite application

3. Menu > Add script > Load file >LED_ON.sh

4. Make sure you check "Needs SU?"

5. Press "Save"

After completed the given steps, you will see the "LED_ON" from the list. You would need to execute (run) it by a single tap on "LED_ON".

It will prompt for root permission, please make sure you allow the script to run as root

** You should ONLY run this ONCE each time you reboot ( restart ) your phone

This is only a temporary workaround until someone make changes to the kernel driver.

Features:

1. Lit up the capacitive buttons when your screen is on

2. Turn off capacitive buttons when your screen is off

Regards,

Kenny N
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] jmotyka:
so do i have to manually run the script every time i turn the screen off.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vnbuddy2002:
No - when you turn off the screen, the script will automatically turn off the capacitive buttons. when you turn on the screen, the script will automatically turns on the capacitive buttons and it will make sure the LED remains lit up
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vikramdhani:
how can i install the script ? and seems like a good idea
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] godsfilth:
rather than using gscript and having to manually run the script couldn't you put it someplace on the phones memory like /system/etc/init.d and have it loaded during boot

id test the theory but im not running the desire rom
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
So I'm curious, what exactly is this doing?

Does this keep the trackball, and the buttons (back/menu/home/search) buttons "lit" when the screen is on?

I didn't know the buttons were backlit. Wonder if this could be ported to Cyanogen?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] b1337:
have u used your phone in the dark? lol
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] dudebro:
that's what I'm sayin haha

I'll give this a go when I go back to a desire rom.

I am one of those unlucky people with no capacitive lights for desire roms.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] stshannon:
Ohh i get it, yeah, my buttons do light up (never really noticed before, never had a problem with them to really have to look at them heh)....

So i take it the backlight doesn't work on desire roms then? and this is a fix for that? okay sorry for the dumb question earlier heh.

Yeah, my nexus one buttons do backlight now that I'm looking at it. =)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vnbuddy2002:
I would need to rewrite the codes in order for it to run along with /system/etc/init.d - or else it will end up with an endless startup

Regards,

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] vnbuddy2002:
The script checks for the current state of your screen. It will maximise the capacitive brightness when your screen is on and turn it off when your screen is off.
