[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JokerSP3:
I previously had 1.5 stock eris. I downloaded the official OTA zip and manually installed it. I had a few issues at first.

1. I had Spare Parts installed and had set my End key to first goto home screen and then lock. 2.1 did not like that setting and so my end key wouldn't do anything except turn it on from sleep and end a call until I changed the setting to just lock the phone.

2. Couple apps wanted to be updated to a new version after installing 2.1 before they would work.

3. Here is my unresolved issue - All my apps that I had installed before 2.1 no longer have write access to my SD card.

For example Astro File Manager showed my permissions on /sdcard as dr-. Reloading the card, rebooting, etc did not fix the issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling seems to have fixed the issue.

Why did this happen in the first place and is there an easier fix than uninstalling/reinstalling all my apps?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banjaloupe:
I've had the same disappearing HTC widget issue as was mentioned earlier, but a reboot (with a battery pull) didnt fix the problem. Is a hard reset my only option?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaangunnar:
my girlfriend installed the OTA and now only the stock ringtones work when receiving a call- she set up custom ringtones for a few contacts, but if they call, the default ringtone rings.

I was running the leaked 2.1 eris rom on a MyTouch 3g and had the same issue, so i'm guessing it's not an easy fix. anyone else seeing this?

2.1 OTA back to 1.5

Hi everyone, I had many problems with 2.1 I manually installed 2.1 OTA from 1.5. everything went smooth, once running first thing i notice I click on the HTC clock weather, and it force closes, ok great, found a trick to delete the cache for weather provider, boom works, then i find out I do infact have the 50% time without signal issue, well I figured it wasn't too big of a deal, but after basically cutting my time in half going from 2 days no charge, to barely making one day, and I've heard that it would just take time as it did when first getting the phone.. which makes sense as it was the case with 1.5, week later not much improvement, so..

I would just like to comment on my experience. It went so smooth, it was in-fact easier to set back to 1.5 than it was to initially, manual install the OTA 2.1... I downloaded the MR2 file, unzipped the file, went through the computer on screen step-by-step process, Took less than 10 minutes, and of coarse as soon as turning the phone back on with 1.5 I see the OTA msg. I'm, just praying it doesn't get too annoying..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedevilsjester:
I have been running Cyanogen 4.2.15.1 for a few months now, I recently noticed that 5.0.7 (test5) for the G1 was released, and am trying to get it to install.

I follow the various steps to install, I have DangerSPL installed, then Cyanogen, then the Google Apps, and the install procedure seems to work correctly.

It hangs on the G1 screen for a long time. I read that 5-15 mins for a first boot is normal but I have had to on 30+ mins.

I can reboot into recovery and install 4.2.15.1 again, and it works like a charm, I wipe and try to install 5.0.7 (test5) from a fresh 4.2.x and no luck.

Has anyone had any similar problems or know of a way to solve them?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B6gSix:
first off bro never flash it direct on top of a rom your not sure of. but all u gotta do is :

wipe all 5>flash danger spl>wipe data factory only>flash test5>flash google app add on>reboot.

if this fails then u jus need to start from rc29, re-root, flash test5.

i kno for a fact this works. if u still need assistance feel free to pm my profile here on xda and ill reply asap.

goodluck and enjoy
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedevilsjester:
Ok here is what I did, I flashed Amon_RA's recovery image (I was using CM), wiped everything with Amon_RA and installed DangerSPL, CM 5.0.7, and the Google Apps, and this time I was greeted with the nice new boot logo!

I dont know if it was just bad luck on my part of if the CM Recovery Image is not a good choice for installing 5.0.7?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B6gSix:
so it worked or no ???? lol hope it did and always wipe after installing danger spl jus heads up for next time
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedevilsjester:
Yes it worked, I have 5.0.7 (test5) successfully installed, thank you.

is there any application that change start menu program from 6.1 to 6.5 without changing to 6.5 rom? bcoz 6.1 start menu look ugly and it is cool if can change it to 6.5 with that hexagon looks.

i'm just wondering:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Jesse99:
Not that I know of.

There's various ways to change your start menu, like Wisbar Advance. Or even change your whole interface. But if you want the honeycomb start menu, going WM 6.5 rom is the way.

If you don't want to change your WM too much, just look around for a WM 6.5 lite rom with M2D interface. Once you upgraded to HardSPL, changing roms is pretty risk free and very easy.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Philux:
You should try a rom like this..........

60 posts and you still have no idea about checking the current threads in the forum in which you are posting? There are two threads about froyo, and damn near every other blog about froyo mentions a speculated release date.
[Nexus One General] _Dennis_:
What You have not gotten the OTA. It was pushed to every. N1 in the world, forced on us I would say, also relocked all boot loaders and soldered the battery to the terminals on the N1.

Seriously search. Here, Google.com, tech blogs. They all have the dates it is thought to be released (look up "android 2.2" release or "Google IO conference")

[Hero CDMA General] mrcamposd:
I have been using swype keyboard and it was working really well on fresh 2d but as soon as I updated rom to fresh 2.1.1 it gave me a pop up message saying that "swype trial has expired..." can anyone verify if it is due to the new rom or to the swype people trying to ruin people's fun? can anyone explain? or send me a new working swype keyboard for cdma hero on sprint

thanks everyone
[Hero CDMA General] INDIANAJONNY:
me too. exact same problem.

Should I switch back to fresh 2.d or is there a fix? I am typing this on the default kb and its killling me!
[Hero CDMA General] ymsc:
Try changing the keyboard input to the standard keyboard and then back to the swype keyboard. Here is from the FAQ for the swype beta

Q: I registered and downloaded a beta-version Swype but I get one of the following messages:

"The Swype package you installed is configured for another device..."

"Your Swype version has expired some functionality..."

A: On your phone, open the "Welcome to the Swype Beta" email and download the Swype-Installer again. Let it replace the existing installer and finish doing the installation again. There was an error in our previous installer version.

NOTE!!! On some phones, including the Droid and the Nexus One, this upgrade only partially fixes the issue. You may still see one of the messages above after upgrading to the newest version. The workaround is - Each time you turn on your phone, before entering text, you need to switch between the Swype Keyboard and the Android Keyboard. After switching back to the Swype Keyboard it should work fine until you reboot again. Yes, it's annoying and we're working on it - It's a beta!
[Hero CDMA General] smw6180:
Or you could download the version from the link in the post above yours and not have to deal with it.
[Hero CDMA General] Aridon:
I'm getting a lot more errors with that1.25 than on the previous version.. I'm guessing the odd lag and it not being made for our heroes is playing a part.
[Hero CDMA General] mrcamposd:
No I found 2.1.1 better than 2d
[Hero CDMA General] Aridon:
I was having tons of lag and swype wasn't registering double key strokes at all. I ended up playing with some settings on my phone which required a wipe and nandroid restore. When i did it I made sure to not restore with the old version of swype and did a fresh install. Night and day difference now. Not sure what was ****ing it up before but I'm getting significant speed and accuracy improvement. Also double letters are working properly again
[Hero CDMA General] chris_v:
Anyone notice that this newer version (1.25) acts a little different then the older version as in it doesn't figure out the words as accurately as the previous?? I think it was like 1.14 (the apk was swype..Micro.black).

Maybe its just a setting i need to reset, or maybe i'm just chasing ghosts. Anyone else experience this oddity?
[Hero CDMA General] Jeepman007:
I am a new Hero owner. A friend told me about swype. Just installed and I think it took maybe 2.2 sec to fall in love with it. I got meaty fingers, and it rocks.

Just a side note, running it on Bittersweet v1.2
[Hero CDMA General] chococrazy:
Anyone else get that Swype isn't configured for this device, and then it basically doens't work. Swyping won't work, but typing out letter by letter will.

Hi all!

I just wondering. Since the desire kernal source is out (link: http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/Source_and_Binaries/bravo_54b7033a.tar.gz ) are we going to wait for FroYo to see if google got the FM radio working on there, or shall we have a look at the desire rom to see how HTC did it? :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomRampage:

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortzz:
It's most likely disabled at a hardware level.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
paul (of modaco) has had the desire ROM up and running for sometime on our N1, but the FM radio does not work yet.

froyo is reputed to be bringing the functionality.

please search this sort of thing. if you had gone to the dev section, you would have seen that there are several desire ROMs working, none of which incorporate a functional FM radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomRampage:
If YOU would do some reading you'd know he means now we can maybe get some hints on how we can get the DRIVER working for the fm transmitter, not get an app for it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
if YOU had read my reply, you would have noticed that i did not suggest an app, and what i was saying was that the driver for the desire DOES NOT WORK on the N1.

lord, i swear sometimes it is like herding cats around here sometimes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flippy125:
"meow" :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sassyness77:
Okay, sorry if this is incorrect, but i was led to believe that those desrie roms had nothing to do with the true desire kernal, since the source was not released yet...I actually think i remember paul or someone big into the "sense on nexus deal" saying they still NEEDED the kernal to figure out how htc used the fm transmitter.

If i am incorrect, ooops. :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketlo:
I think thats right but even with the source we may never have it working. We'll see soon enough :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusDro:
I remember reading that the FM radio does not work because Paul needed the Desire Kernel, but there is no guarantee that even with the Desire kernel, the N1 radio will work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnex:
Well if i remember correctly, paul almost got the radio working, it could boot up, but didnt find any stations on scan. It is also correct that he wanted the desire kernal to fix it, but im wondering if anyone else is looking into it apart from him :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] briangnyc:
I have an N1 with the FM Radio installed and it does scan and find stations even showing the text stream across the top of the app but no sound whatsoever :-( As mentioned before a good alternate app if you really want FM radio is RadioTime on the market. Works very well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Since FroYo is rumored to bring FM radio with it, I guess that no dev will be doing anything about it until FroYo is out and the rumor is confirmed (bringing the radio to N1 users) or denied (and in this case someone might take a look at Desire kernel and "find" the missing audio, if it's not HW-related).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
There is little reason to expend valuable time on something that might be fixed within a few weeks when you have other work which is not going to fix itself. Not said in so many words but I get the impression its on the back burner till the solids are in on froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Pfft fm, what I want is an AM radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Teeceman:
From the list of Froyo features published, it does not look like the N1 will be getting FM radio or transmitter in this release (if it’s even possible)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Why are you looking at the base code and assuming the device specific updates will not include different things?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] everclock:
Any EEs out there know what kind of battery drain is expected from using the FM radio? I know this is dependant on a lot of things, any insight will be nice to know.

I'm mainly interested in FM so I can listen to live NPR broadcast.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
A bit more than just playing MP3s. Plus, it depends on the design - specifically on the chip used and on how much power conservation its makers managed to squeeze.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davbran:
I have to disagree with you on this one Jack, FM circuits are small and once your set it, it should just play, very little is going on. Where as with MP3s there is actual processing going on.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wickedchild:
any update from people who have gotten froyo up and running on their N1?

im guessing that if no one has said anything so far that it hasnt been included this time around, but still hopeful until someone says so...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evenheroesfall:
I have Froyo and no FM Radio :( other really cool **** but no radio.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSoHungry:

Guys, you will never get official support from google for the FM radio.

So i guess we need to start looking into the HTC radio app. My friend Blunden from RL and here is looking into the kernel, and i just sent him the actual htc app. We need more hands on deck though.

Hi, i'm wondering if it is possible to build android (2.2 when it's released) and somehow run it with the HTC Hero drivers. Or would i need HTC's sourcecode for that?

And another question. Nexus One will run a plain vanilla build, as it has no proprietary drivers, or am I wrong?

Thanks in advance

[Android] smackdown85146:
Well, I'm still an Android noob, but I know that you might be able to run the 2.2 SDK dump on the Hero. And when the source comes out, I'm sure the boys over at Hero Development will give you a good release. But if I'm wrong, sorry.
[Android] xaueious:
Think so, it should be a little while. The only reason ASOP wasn't good for the Hero was because the source for .29 kernel was never released by HTC. Now that the community has .29 source code, and with Cyanogen able to move to the newer kernel (his kernel is already Froyo compatible version wise), it's better than before.

Donut, Eclair need .29

Froyo needs .32

Check wikipedia

lots of apps dont need to be reinstalled. They just need the shortcut adding to start menu again.

After you hard reset, browse to \storage card\yourapp\ and try to run the .exe If the program works, then you dont need to reinstall it. Just create a link to that .exe in \windows\start menu\ and you will be able to see it and select it for quicklinks and whatever.

"Oh look what a nice date selection dialogue HTC made for WM 6.5 calendar, big squares to select days of the month and nifty slide animation to change month [2 minutes later...] hey what the... do I need to manually slide thirtysix months to check appointments 3 years in the past??"

Up until now, nothing has changed.

I can not manually input the date inside the date field using the keyboard, I just have the option to open the big nice dialogue that becomes totally useless if you need to select days that are more than half a year distant in any direction on the timeline.

Is there a workaround for that?
