[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalioGladius:
I can see that this can quickly escalate into an unnecessary back and forth argument. So to avoid that how about I tell you what I've done and where I'm at currently, and you can inform me on what to do to get to my goal?

From what I've seen I had to essentially do the following things:

1. downgrade to RC29

2. root

3. upgrade radio and SPL

4. Install ROM to get to 2.1

What I've done:

1. Formatted my sdcard to fat32, and put the DREAIMG.nbh file on the root of the sdcard.

2. Shutdown. Start up the phone holding the camera button. Got to the gray screen to update, pressed the power button to update.

3. Update successful. Rebooted by pressing call, menu, and power buttons.

4. Went through the setup wizard to set up the phone with my google account.

5. Installed telnet application from the market.

6. Downloaded recovery.img and spl-signed.zip (Danger SPL) and put them on the root of the sdcard.

7. From home screen, pressed enter twice. Typed telnetd.

8. Opened telnet application. Typed the following commands:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
cd sdcard
flash_image recovery recovery.img
cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img/CODE]
9. Shut down phone. Held down the home button while powering phone on in attempt to get to recovery mode.
10. Phone did not go into recovery mode, but went to this image on the screen: (can't post links, so fix the url)
hxxp:// www .modmygphone.com/wiki/images/1/1b/Howtofirm1.png

Currently, the phone is showing the following:
Firmware version 1.0
Baseband version 62.33.20.08H_1.22.12.29
kernel version 2.6.25-01843-gfea26b0 android-build@apa27 #6
Build number kkila-user 1.0 TC4-RC29 115247 ota-rel-keys,release-keys

What exactly do I need to do from here to get a 2.1 rom installed?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TalioGladius:
I got the radio upgraded to 2.22.29.26I.

Turns out I have to hit alt-l to get past the ! screen in recovery mode. So now I should be able to install the danger spl, and then the rom, right?

The one I'm seeing with the guide is Cyanogenmod 4.2.15.1.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supremeteam256:
To be honest I would flash Amon Ra's new recovery first so you can flash the danger spl and then the rom without a reboot in between. And if you want to install that version of cyanogen you really don't need the danger spl, but if you want to jump up to his 5.0.7 Test5 you'll need to (thats the 2.1 version).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
If you want to avoid bricks, you really should NEVER go straight from 0.95.x000 SPL --> 1.33.2005 SPL. The reason for this is that there is no way to make that jump without using recovery, and since those SPLs are so different from each other, it has to use the cache-->update-hboot-->recovery-wipe-cache approach, which is where bricks come from.

If you have a 0.95.x000 SPL and want to go to 1.33.2005, you FIRST go to 1.33.2003 (that's a THREE) using recovery (since 0.95.x000 and 1.33.2003 have equal compatibility) -- this opens up the door for using FASTBOOT to flash your SPL. The move between ANY pair of engineering SPLs using fastboot is guaranteed safe since it can never get stuck in a failed boot-recovery (brick).

[Nexus One General] bane126:
I just got a Nexus One and under SD Card and Phone Storage it shows that I only have 194 MB free. Is that right? I thought it came with 512 MB free?

I looked online and couldn't find anything so I thought I would ask the Pros.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Looks like their gonna unlock the other half of the 512mb of storage with the Froyo update :)
[Nexus One General] bane126:
You for real?? So, they all come with 512MB, but you can only use 194 MB at the moment?
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
Yeah =P

Dunno why but just like on the Motorola Droid how they have an 800mghz processor and they clock it down to 550mghz (probably to make sure the first batch don't fry and then unlock the full features later)
[Nexus One General] mortzz:
The current kernel can't support more than that, with FroYo and the new kernel you'll be able to utilize all of it.

If you want to take advantage of all of it now, unlock, root, and flash a rom with the highmem kernel (damn near all of them).
[Nexus One General] PrawnPoBoy:
I think you guys are confused. It sounds like he is talking about the phones internal storage, not RAM. The place where everything is installed.

192MB is quite a bit of space for downloading new apps since most are only a few megs at most. The reason you don't have all 512 available is because Android and the default apps are taking up space as well.
[Nexus One General] lorin.bute:
I'm pretty sure he's talking about the internal storage. The OS itself and the other built in apps take space so that's the reason you only have that amount.

To have 2 seperate Google accounts on one hero?

And I don't mean one signed into the htcmail app, I mean signed in so contacts, market apps, all the google stuffs hooked up for both accounts...

Is it possible?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
not unless you have super root privileges.. Only the kind I can give.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phenicks:
... umm, ok
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
No, the phone and gmail app are tied to one account. However, you could always access additional gmail accounts through the phones web browser.

To sign in to another gmail account; you would have to wipe your phone to factory defaults and when prompted, enter the new gmail address.

You cannot have two Gmail accounts on the phone, mainly because it'll cause conflicts with the Market application and also when syncing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbv203:
Doesn't gmail on 2.1 allow you to have more than one account?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiteonline:
Yes, by going into accounts and sync settings.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionsof:
Hi! I have a nexus one on AT&T and absolutely love it, but due to cheaper prices and better customer support I am going to switch to T-MOBILE. So is the coverage with T-MOBILE with nexus one 3g issues worth it? How is T-MOBILE service? Please post your speeds and location in the comments. I live in East Texas and get about 2.5 megs with AT&T. Thanks forrest.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
I've been with tmobile for about 6 years and their customer service is pretty great but their 3G coverage is a bit spotty in some areas. Personally, I usually have 3G and H speeds and I live in the Miami-dade and broward county in Florida. I can't really give you my speeds because I haven't taken the time to find out but they usually have a map that shows their coverage, though I don't know how accurate they are. Hope I was of some help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djpingpong:
I live in Sacramento and get about 700-900kbps. Nowhere near 2 megs. I've heard of other areas that get much faster speeds (HSPA+ areas). However, I rarely run into an area where I won't pick up 3G.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheek360:
i live in miami florida, their service is horrible; atleast in my neighborhood. i cant get 70k downloads to save my life.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
I just did one quick speed test and I got 1.77 Mbps
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Yea I'm picking up my N1 tonight from the FedEx hub since my gf can't answer the door.

I live in Cincinnati OH area and it seems to be good. My neighbor has full bars on his Nexus one and Tmobile, although I don't think he's the type to know his download speed.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
I live in Cincinnati as well. The west side of town to be more accurate.

I can agree that for the most part 3G/H is pretty common there are still a decent amount of Edge holes in certain areas.

Overall the connection is pretty good.

My issue is the download/upload speeds on the Tmobile 3G/H network in Cincinnati. It doesn't matter where I go; Downtown, Kenwood, Blue Ash, Milford, Springdale, Cheviot, Northern KY... My speeds are pretty subpar

for 3G+. I get on avg .4-.5 mbps down and .3-.4 mbps up no matter where I am at in the city. This includes being within a football field of an H equiped tower.

They have some major work to do in Cincinnati when it comes to upgrading the networks backhaul.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
remember you will have to buy a new nexus one to work with tmobile's 3G. the att version only supports ATt's 3G, and the tmobile only supports tmobile's 3G. so you will need a new phone :(
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enndr:
This is true. They are setup slightly different to handle that carriers specific 3G/H frequencies. Maybe you can sell yours on Craigslist if you decide to and break even.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ionsof:
That is my plan. Anyone with coverage in Texas? espicaly in East Texas? Also when is the 21 mbps supposed to be released? I am just a little hesitant to jump ship.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChillRays:
Thats wonderful. I like up the street (kinda) in Tampa florida and thats the news I was hoping for.. :(
[EVO 4G Accessories] MetroKnight:
I read somewhere that the HD2 supports bluetooth keyboards. Does anyone know if it's the same with the EVO?
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
Maybe, I hope so because I intend on testing it with an apple wireless keyboard
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
Not natively, but it should work with third party driver/apps like KeyPro.
[EVO 4G Accessories] gqstatus0685:
Sweet I have my Apple Keyboard and Mouse.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zonyl:
I have heard a rumor that the Incredible does not support BlueInput (because of an older BT stack implemented by HTC) like-wise the EVO. I would be unhappy given the lack of a physical keyboard on the phone.

http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=2414
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
That was the same error I was getting on my Sprint Hero, but the KeyPro guys made a version of the drivers that worked anyway. I think they can do the same if the EVO has the same issue.
[EVO 4G Accessories] zonyl:
Unfortunately it may be more OS related than a BlueInput problem.. Either way it would appear we arent getting HID anytime soon.

[EVO 4G Accessories] pingpongboss:
Mmm, so that explains why Wiimote Controller does not work on "devices running Sense"
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
FYI, using a beta version of KeyPro I was able to connect my Freedom Universal Keyboard 2 to the EVO, but the keyboard mappings were off. I've contacted the developer of KeyPro (who has been very responsive to tweaking the app for Sprint Hero support), I'm pretty sure this is something they can resolve.

Will report back...
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
My bad, I forgot to change the keyboard type in the KeyPro options - it works GREAT with the EVO!
[EVO 4G Accessories] MetroKnight:
Good stuff! Thanks for the notice!
[EVO 4G Accessories] mrono:
With what keyboard?
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
It's a pretty nice keyboard. http://www.freedominput.com/technical-support/technical-support/universal-keyboards

I should note, it provides for good text entry and some hotkey functions, but it seems that much of Android's interface isn't accessible via these kinds of devices. You are still going to have to poke at your screen to do some things. Bluetooth mouse support would make this a bit easier...
[EVO 4G Accessories] Ceger:
I use the v-tech virtual keyboard via KeyPro. Works quite well.

Ceger
[EVO 4G Accessories] bigwavebrian:
What did you do that I can't figure out?

I've spent the best part of 8 hours trying to get my Freedom Universal 2 keyboard to connect using Keypro. The developer said not to bother purchasing the key if I couldn't get the keyboard working without it. Were you able to get it working on the trial version? Or did you have to purchase the key? I've managed to get the keyboard paired but not connected. Thanks for any tips / pointers.
[EVO 4G Accessories] galt:
Are you using the beta version from the keypro forum? The one they cooked up for the hero works for me. Which ROM are you running, and what are the symptoms of your connection problem?
[EVO 4G Accessories] bigwavebrian:
The version I've been trying to get working is Keypro 2.00.08 trial.

Android version 2.2

The phone appears to pair with the keyboard when the keyboard is set to SPP, but not in HID, but they never actually connect. I've not yet been able to use the keyboard or assign shortcuts using Keypro. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Accessories] potna:
I was counting on using my think outside Serria full size folding bluetooth to work, ltd proving tto be difficult so far.

This was and perhaps is one of best keyboards but it don't matter if it doesn't even connect

Any one have an approach they could suggest?
[EVO 4G Accessories] frankpreyes:
I recently purchased the Freedom Pro keyboard from Amazon. I figured if I could not get it to work, I could send it back to Amazon. I originally tried to use the keypro apk, but was unsuccessful. Then I downloaded the android driver from the Keyboard site, that also would connect, but not pair. I then downloaded the instruction manual and followed their directions. Still no success. Then I got the bright idea of shutting down the phone, and then trying to pair my Evo to the keyboard. Success!!!! You click on the connected part of the driver software (read the installation manual) and this time it connected. There is an area on the driver you can use to check and see if you are connected. My Evo is unrooted (since 2.2). This has replaced my laptop for on-the-go business related work.

[General Topics] Jemmauk:
Yes it can work - but - you need a A2DP source that can transmit to the phone...

There is a product that nokia do that I have which is a A2DP gateway box which can either act as a receiver or transmitter to an A2DP phone - but I am not sure what protocols it needs to work... I assume, but dont know, that it works with general A2DP because it will receive from my S710 & Touch Diamond phones - although I have tried the transmit part of it yet the documentation clearly states it will transmit...

the device has phono stereo input & output ports which can be rigged through to whatever sound source you have in mind...

As I say though I havent personally tested the A2DP transmission facility but I very much doubt Nokia would say it worked if it didnt...

Hope that helps...
[General Topics] rowanparker:
Well, if I already have an A2DP source, how would I go about getting the phone to recieve it?

[Android Software Development] sstrickland816:
I am trying to find information on how to poke around my own phone's source code (if possible, Sprint HTC Hero) and also the Android Source Code which is downloadable.

I'd like to see how the apps look, and how I could change them. I also want to know how to go about editing and loading that source code up on a phone.

Is this possible with my phone? Or do I need a special phone to do so? I'd like to know how these folks are going about creating these special ROMs for phones, and how someone can edit it to their liking, and then compile it for a specific device.
[Android Software Development] dferreira:
source.android.com is where you should find what you need.
[Android Software Development] sstrickland816:
I did find that, and it works someone, but the address isn't right, and for some reason I can't install an older version of Java on my Ubuntu VM. Maybe because it's 10.4? Has anyone else been able to download the source code via Google's instructions? On a newer machine?
[Android Software Development] drew630:
If you add the Jaunty repositories to your sources.list file you should be able to download sun-java5-*

If i find the exact apt lines I will post them later.

Another thought - Switch to Debian Lenny ;) - I switched from Ubuntu after I upgraded to 10.04 and absolutely hated 10, but I am loving Lenny.

EDIT:

add

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty multiverse

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jaunty-updates multiverse

to your /etc/apt/sources.list

then do

apt-get update

apt-get install sun-java5-jre sun-java5-jdk
[Android Software Development] sstrickland816:
Thanks for the update, I'll try that and see how far I get.

From what I gathered, Ubuntu was the only supported Linux operating system that I'd be able to get the source code of Android for...

I understand that the size of Android is so massive, an organized way to download it is necessary, but why isn't this just simple like FTP access?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] govno64:
After doing quite a bit of searching, both on XDA and on Google, I have yet to come across a thread that adequately addresses and resolves the following issue:

Since upgrading to Android 2.1 for my HTC Hero from Sprint, My Facebook contacts have not synced properly with the people app. They do not show up under my contacts, and pictures/status do no sync. Even if I try to manually link the contact to Facebook, my friends list does not load up and instead just says, "No matches found."

I have tried removing my Facebook account and re-adding it to no avail. I have also checked my sync options under settings. One forum (for the HTC Desire) suggested opening the people app, and going to the online directories tab at the bottom (a little globe icon which it appears the Hero version of the people app does not have) where you can select Facebook manually and have it sync.

Hopefully some of the excellent devs here on XDA can help me get to the root of this problem.

So, any suggestions?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
I have developed a brute force method that has worked in all but one case.

Called the "Regaw Brute Force" method lol

1. Remove your current FB account.

2. Go to Settings > Accounts & sync > Add account.

3. Click on Facebook For HTC Sense.

4. Sign in

5. It will show the sync icon for a small amount of time.

6. Go to the homescreen and click on people

7. Slide over to updates and events (you will see none yet)

8. Do the "Regaw Brute" method: Click menu > refresh 5 times quickly (so menu > refresh, menu > refresh..... 5 times)

9. Let your Hero sit for up to 15 minutes on this screen, letting the screen turn off.

10. If after about 15-20 minutes, all of your pictures aren't synced, repeat steps 8 and 9 again.

11. Repeat step 10 if necessary

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] govno64:
When I do the "Regaw Brute Method" I get a force close on com.htc.bgp. So apparently that service has something to do with it.

Think there's any way we can take the people app from the HTC Desire or different working Hero ROM and port it over?

EDIT: Also I noticed that at least my own profile picture is now synced. I'll try the brute method again.

I found other HTC phones having the same issues. This is the HTC Desire fix.....to bad we don't have a globe/interenet icon in our people app.

Go to the PEOPLE(contact list) app. Go to the Online Directories (globe) tab. Hit Facebook. You will be asked to log in to your Facebook account. Once logged in, it will show all of you contacts on your Facebook account. Go back to the full list of your contacts on the phone and try and sync.
