^WORST-OFFENDER-EVER

Hahaha, J/K of course

Also, I think its great that this place is such a fantastic resource and I think it's great that many of the senior members have the patience to answer questions that come in the form of brand new threads in the wrong sections.

I'd like to see people (senior members) get more comfortable with prefacing their responses to these threads with "This should have gone <here>". I am not suggesting we don't answer these questions, I would just like to see some diligence guiding new people to post in the appropriate section. Lots of these kinds of threads get answered and it's not until half way down the page until someone acknowledges the thread was posted is in the wrong section. Not that its a heinous offense or anything but I think most would agree new threads in the wrong sections are inconvenient and happen A LOT.
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
I believe the creation of the off subject lounge and leniency of the mods have made a huge difference. With that being said I believe that being respectful by both mods and users will greatly help. Yeah I know things get out of hand at times and that the mods get tired of hearing a million reports on this section. But commingle in here with an iron fist and then trying to sweep it under the rug hoping it will go away will never work. Getting to the root of the issue is a lot more effective and trying to resolve the problem out weighs bannings. I've said this in the past banning is almost a joke. Anyone can make a sock puppet account and keep causing problems. So what doea is solve.

To the users who r act like natzis...the mods will decide if a subject goes into a different section. Either contribute to the thread or shut up. I'm so tired of someone ask a question or post a thread and watch the wave of senior members (a select few all the time) say this should go to this section. Is it that hard to answer the question or post a link to the answer (this goes for the whole use the search button also). Sometimes when u search for an answer there r so many results and it shows all result including from first day forum started and some of those are way out of date and a noob isn't as experienced enough to sort through what newer and what's older.

Hey neb,

For once, welcome back! I am glad that you guys are putting this whole thing behind. For the last few days, I have felt that things have really began to calm down in here (particularly because we don't see that many reported posts/threads from here anymore). I will take your suggestions to the site admin and the other mods and see what they think. Some of them can be a bit hard to implement (particularly the first two), but the other ones, I couldn't agree more (especially on the Senior Member threshold, I agree that 100 posts is just way too little). In fact, I invited the other mods and admin over here as well, so they might up in during the day as well. This thread is guaranteed to have exposure to everyone that needs to see it :)
[Hero CDMA General] nebenezer:
Agreed that searching can easily and often be a fruitless PITA.

As far as the response.. "if you don't have anything nice to say then don't say anything at all" (right?, lol)

I am not one to bust someones head for posting in the wrong section. I will sooner ignore the question.

I don't see any harm in telling someone they have posted in the wrong section but I think it would be great to see those types of comments accompanied by some sort of helpful reply.

*edit-

Thanks Egz, Nice to meet ya!
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
Ya know, I woud like to see guys from other devices in here as well. These changes being propsed aren't just relevant to CDMA Hero's. Post Count and status should effect the whole site.

To make XDA better as a whole and to maintain it's "Developers" status so to speak, you have to quiet the people asking basic questions some times.

Personally I am not good at training, I don't want to have to teach someone how to dial there phone :D
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
yeah, it took me no time at all to hit senior member status, and I don't post nearly as often as some (some of you may have a hard time believing this, but i'm still averaging less than a post a day. I like to think mine are just....memorable ;) ). Though it might add more work, it might be useful to have 3 membership types instead of 2. I mean, I can TOTALLY see needing to be around for a while before you get your senior badge, I don't think it is necessary to make a dude wait till he has 500 posts to put up a link, you know what I mean?

EDIT: w00t! I lied! I just hit avg 1.05 posts per day!
[Hero CDMA General] egzthunder1:
Hey cb, I mean Papa :)

Love the new avatar... I guess now I understand why you wanted your name changed :D. Moving threads for us is a bit of a nuisance, but it has to be done so that important sub forums don't get flooded by a bunch of "asking for help" or "what do you guys think its better x or y" threads, none of which are exclusive to noobs, but some seniors as well.

The way I usually handle (or at least I used to handle when I was a regular member) the out of place threads, was normally to direct towards a solution and used the "Report" icon on the thread/post to get a mod to either move it or delete it, if needed be. People who just flat out burst into flaming or insulting the member asking the question are simply out of place and should not do that. However, I have learned over the years that many people on the internet (not only here) would much rather write a long rant on how someone should google before asking questions, than to simply say "here is the link" and pressing the report button saying "please move to x y z section"... I guess it is a culture thing...

:rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA General] Papa Smurf151:
I can agree with that but there are a select few that r like section police. Every thread that's in the wrong section they r there to let them know and that's all they contribute. I find myself reading them say that going douche just answer the question or ignore it. That's just ne though
[Hero CDMA General] tejasrichard:
I like LMGTFY, it gets the point across, but is helpful at the same time. Some folks get offended, but most get the point and say thanks.

edit: not to derail the thread, but a lot of people don't know HOW to search properly. It ain't enough to just plug a bunch of words in the text box and hit the button. A lot of us grew up in the pregooglenet dark ages, when searching wasn't nearly as easy, and have skills that these young whippersnappers do not posess.
[Hero CDMA General] egzthunder1:
The fact that your post are memorable rather than "fillers" is a good thing :) (I wish more people would do that)

We have 3 levels of membership:

Junior member (up to 10 or 30 posts, I cannot remember this one)

Member (up to 100 posts)

Senior member (anything over 100 posts)

I will ask the admin about moving senior and junior levels up, because I honestly think that those are the important ones.

[Desire General] Kulset:
Hi,

I have a Norwegian HTC Desire unbranded phone, but i currently live in Qatar and i use it with my sim card in Qatar...

From time to time I write some text messages to Norway to friends and such,

but there is one of my friends I can't reply sms to...

I use "ChompSMS" as a messages client, and his phone nr is saved on my phone memory, with the country prefix and all...

When I compose a new message to him, he gets the text message, but when i reply to the message, the country prefix does not get in cluded in the text, so I get a failure when trying to send it...

When i press "view message failure", the nr its trying to send it to is "90508395" insted of "+4790508395", this is the only contact i have this problem with, all my other norwegians friend i can reply to without a problem..

Anyone have a soloution?

Thanks...
[Desire General] Kulset:
Anyone have a soloution for me? :)

Would be deeply apriciated....
[Desire General] qq2233:
I had the EXACT same problem and people thought I was crazy.

The only solutions I found were to either to change to Handcent, dont know why, but it fixed it.

OR

Reflash to a new rom. That completely fixed the problem and I was able to go back to chompsms.
[Desire General] Kulset:
Thanks ALOT!

I will try Handcent now, and hopefully it will all go away :)

Thanks again :)
[Desire General] myxcon:
It could be also a setting on your friends phone, something like reply to and he has that set up with his nr. but not in intl format. Worth checking...
[Desire General] poldie:
I got nowhere using chompsms, and no help from posting on the forum. Some googling revealed handcent, which I now use every day. It just works, without requiring googling or forums etc. Like you'd expect an SMS app to be, really.
[Desire General] wickedpenguin:
+1 on the handcent.. Works great for me

If you don't already know about this please first read the article on 'Engadget'.

So HTC Phones that launched in 2010, how come Blackstone (Touch HD) is not? one of the more popular HTC devices on the market, we know we have the hardware but they still are not giving it to us?
[Touch HD General] Surebertha:
Wheres the "This makes no sense at all" option? ;)

Exactly which article are you referring to?

If it's this one http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/htc-most-phones-launched-in-2010-will-get-android-2-2/ then it's just an article stating that devices which were originally shipped with previous versions of Android will be updated to 2.2

HTC TP2, WM Prof 6.1, TF3D/Sense turned off

My Menu items are really small. if I press any of the soft keys at the bottom of the screen (today -> contacts -> menu ) the items are really small (maybe 6 pt). No idea how I changed them. I did install XNView and FileExplorerExtender last night. Did not notice anything right away and I definately would have noticed pretty quite. Also changed my Today Background.

Anyway ... how can i change the font size on the various WM menus.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tejasrichard:
can someone tell me why the hell this:

I'd like to know if it's possible to show more than 5 tabs in the manila slider ?

(for example, if you have 7 tabs actives, we only see 5 ones on the screen and we have to slide to see the others... I'd like to see the 7 tabs on the screen)

I'm on a WM6.1 Sense 2.5 2012

I am running dc 2.08.1.

I have root explorer which makes it really easy to delete bloatware and other apps.

I have deleted some already but I am wondering if anyone has deleted the following and their phone still works well (after rebooting it)

Browser.apk (If I use Dolphin)

com.htc.friendstreamwidget.apk

com.htc.MusicWidget.apk

com.htc.WeatherWidget.apk

DCSWeather.apk

GenieWidget.apk

GlobalSearch.apk

htccontactwidgets.apk

HTC_IME.apk

htcmsgwidget.apk

HtcPPST.apk

HtcSoundRecorder.apk

Vending.apk

VoiceDialer.apk

Any of the weather.apk

WorldClock.apk

Also if anyone can point me where to check my overall memory availability?

Right now, again through root explorer I see "/system/app 133.54MB used, 34.46MB free

Does that mean I only have 34.46MB free overall. Or this is just on this sub folder?

Is the ROM I am using so heavy that just that is the amount of free space I will have regardless of what I do?

If 34.46 is my overall memory left...what do I need to do to get it to increase to greater levels. Isee some post that claim to have close to 100MB of free space.

Thanks
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] aisseleacim03:
In addition to my post...

Looking at my widgets...

can anybody tell me which apk relate to and if they are safe to be removed?

Analog Clock (Android)

Calendar (Android)

Facebook (android)

Latitude (ANdroid)

Music(ANdroid)

News and Weather (Android)

Photo Frame (HTC)

Picture frame and Picture Frame (Android)

Power Control (Android)

I just dont see myself using them, so why have them using space?

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Themes and Apps] mgraham361:
Don't think you want to remove vending.apk or you won't have the market anymore.

If you want to see available memory go to Settings-->SD & phone storage. Sounds like your available space is reporting correctly in root explorer. DC ROM isn't odexed so it takes more space. You'll want to look into apps2sd if you want to clear up some internal memory.

Not that big a deal if you ask me though. I think right now the max I can get after running cache cleaner is 31M. I'll run it when things drop down below 20M. but I don't have a bit of lag so no problem here. I'm probably going to do apps2sd anyway just for something new. Just do a search and there are threads on how to do it.
[G1 Android Development] funbacon:
http://www.motorolafans.com/forums/...ultitouch-gallery-2-0-1-v1-0-mediagallery.zip

Yeah, it's real. A stock multitouch gallery from MileStone. It's work perfectly, a little lag, but I think because of it's internal code, not low memory lag :D

Just download mediagallery.zip (above link)

Modify your platform.xml file in /system/etc/permissions to add the line (search library name and add below line):

<library name="com.motorola.aui"
file="/system/framework/com.motorola.aui.jar"/>

Then add com.motorola.aui.jar from the zip file to /system/framework.

Finally, push MediaGallery.apk to /system/app

Reboot your phone and DONE :D

_________

BUT, we have a small problem, this gallery can't play video, you still use any file browser to play video normally.

But, I think some developer can fix it then I create this topic, wait for a developer read it and will find th solution for our case.

I can't wipe dalvik cache in my recovery mode for some reason. I feel that my hero (using cronos rom) isn't really so snappy. I have autokiller and setcpu enabled.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Autokillers (despite false claims) will not speed up your phone. Neither will SetCPU. If you wipe the dalvik cache it will just re-build it the next boot (takes about 15-20 minutes sometimes) and probably won't change anything. No idea why you wouldn't be able to though - what error are you getting?

IMHO - change rom. But none are really "snappy"
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Detol Loki:
Setcpu doesn't speed up your phone? erm.. tell that to my 750MHz overclock

getting 3.34mflops on linpack.

Kimera8 on cupcake 1.5 is incredibly fast. Give it a try.

Yea that only works for an overclocked kernel - which he isn't running.

[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
When I have Windows Live Push ("as items arrive," "always") enabled on my HD2 my battery life tanks. In about 8 hours it drops 20% or more while in standby without doing anything else. That's about 40 hours of standby battery life.

When I have it set to manual my battery drops 2% in 8 hours. That's around 400 hours of standby battery, which makes a lot more sense.

Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this using this feature? I am seriously curious as to why MS Live push e-mail keeps up an ACTIVE data connection that is not defeatable, and why it insists on wrecking battery life. If this is a consistent phenomenon, then push e-mail in this way is absolutely useless.

I have seen people with MS Exchange-based push (not Live) email get fine battery life, so this bothers me.
[HD2 General] Archer:
It's perfectly normal mate. For push to work your phone needs to keep an open connection to the live server, which means some kind of heartbeat or keepalive message being sent every now and then (anywhere between every 30 seconds to every 10 minutes - it varies from software to software). This is therefore constantly using your battery. I was amazed at how much my battery life increased by changing the live synch settings from "as items arrive" to "every 15 minutes".

Look at turning down how regularly you update things like the weather and facebook too, and you'll see just how good the battery life on this thing really is!
[HD2 General] friend'scatdied:
I know, but one of the reasons I got my HD2 was because I'm a MSN junkie. :( I have read that people have got "2 days" battery life with MS Exchange push and that makes me feel kind of bothered. My Motorola Milestone with Gmail push didn't see anywhere near this kind of battery drain.
[HD2 General] pa2ra:
i have MS Exchange push e-mail using 3G/HSDPA and I have experienced extra battery life when compared to POP3 email synchronization !

It seems to me that push e-mail is more energy efficient.

Last night @ 23h00: 100% battery. This morning 9h30: 95% battery...
[HD2 General] Archer:
Well my phone went from 1 day of average use to 2-3 days of average use, just by turning off push email, so we're getting different results from the same thing.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vinoloco:
Dear Touche pro experts,

I have a huge feeling that a bricked my touch pro. So i make a post here ( not in romdev. because i wasnt updating a rom). This is what happend:

1 I was trying to install tomtom. That went wrong (could not activate the map, so i removed tomtom normal. Due remove programs. That went fine.

2 Then i wanted to delete the tomtom.cab file. It was on my SD card in a folder called \apps\tomtom. But instead of deleting the cabfile i deleted the whole apps folder

Still no problem...

3 I also had the blackberry app in that folder. But that was gone also. So i decided to remove the blackberry app also on the normal way. Due remove programs. I did that and still no problem. But after removing the app, i got a message (something like), please reboot youre device.

I tought, well that might be a good thing, indeed because i removed so much. So i pushed the on/off button and i reset the fuzz.... Then this happens...

The fuzz buzzes and shows the M rom screen, it also shows (in red) te version.

Then the HTC, just brilliant screen shows. Just like it should be. Even with the right background, sound and so.

But thats it.... Normally the screen comes up to enter youre security code. But that doesnt comes up any more... The screen stay black. I can see that the screen is lit up a bit, > the sides are lit. But that is it.

I removed battery, cards etc etc. But it stays the same,

I can also here the connection sound of my laptop. So the laptop does reconise it.... But to bad, that is it also... I get no map or something. Also active sync does not show...

So now i am really stucked... What can be wrong or who nows what to do now...
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] vinoloco:
I fixed it... I was lucky that i still could preform a hard reset en reinstall the fuzz..... :)

I don't know if anyone broke his Xperia while flashing custom ROMs with the correct procedure, but I'll say it's 1 in 1000 cases. Read the stickies and again the ROMs Threads and choose the one you want.

If you want a bugless and fast ROM keep the original 6.1 rom and you won't have any problem.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Draken Korin:
Mod edit: duplicate, redundant, closed

For the future pls stop opening threads twice, you already mentioned mess-ups and disorder and right away added to them.

Also q&a is not well liked, as the different answers you are certain to get will not necessarily help you at all. Nobody describes their usage behaviour while rating a rom same as you didn't offer yours when asking for ratings. So what is good for others might not be good for you.

There are many threads like "what is the best rom...", check those, there is one with "incomplete comparison between...", check that as well if you like. After that it's up to you. Try and error is definitely an essential part of the process.

Hi,

I have done loads of windows mobile rom upgrades in the past, however I would like to upgrade a colleague's HTC Hero rom to Andriod version 2.1 (one of the first Heros and is on Vodafone).

1) Do you know if there is an official upgrade for this now?

2) If not, is there a reliable unofficial upgrade I can do to get this to Andriod 2.1 ? If so which Rom would you recommend.

3) What guides should I use?

Obviously I expect to use HTC sync to back everything up first etc.

Many thanks

There is no official 2.1 release for the HTC Hero, check the sticky at the top of the forum.
