[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scirio:
I miss--nay, I need the user-selectable Google Contact Groups sync option. I don't need everybody I've ever emailed or called in my phone. 1.5's people app worked perfectly. The official 2.1 release lost this ability! Ridiculous.

EDIT: I'll just give it a shot and nandroid restore if it fuggers up. Can somebody post the stock HtcContacts.apk from 1.5, please? Is that the right apk?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scirio:
sigh. this Q&A subforum is the pits.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatguythatdid:
Actually you don't need anyone to post it up if you take any 1.5 rom with it on there and upzip the rom you'll notice that there are the same file systems in there that are on your phone go to system/apps or system/frameworks if you have a question about what the name of an apk is on your phone you can go to settings/applications/manage applications and there will be a pic of it. If not in there it will be in /data
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scirio:
Ok, I'll try that now.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporty9xterra:
I think i have the same issue. the people app just isnt bringing in my contacts bc they show up in text's and in the memory.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sporty9xterra:
do a hard reboot.. it fixes the issues..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scirio:
WTF, that's a completely different issue altogether. My contacts are fine, there are just WAAAYY too many of them because I'm no longer provided the option of selecting which groups I want to sync.

For example, I manage teams of sales persons in different regions. When I'm in one region like the west coast, I'm there for 3 months and don't need to even think about other regions' sales staff. So I only sync the "West Coast Sales" group I made. Later in the year I go to the South region for a few months and don't need my west coast contacts in my phone so I only select the "Southern Sales" group I made.

Get it? You could do this in 1.5. You CANT do this in 2.1. You can only sync either ALL your google groups or NONE of them--meaning zero contacts.

:rolleyes: ok pal.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davedug:
Contacts in Phone App not necessarily People App....

I have 4200 contacts. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want this solved.

While testing the Andriod App and Google Contacts I realized a couple of things.

In Google Contacts selecting ALL Contacts I could REMOVE them from MY CONTACTS under GROUPS.

If you look to the left hand side column you will see MY CONTACTS now has ZERO contacts in it and ALL CONTACTS has all your contacts.

Then I selected ALL CONTACTS in the left hand side column. The I selected only the contacts I wanted to be in MY CONTACTS. When you click on a CONTACT you now have an option next to GROUPS at the top that say MOVE TO MY CONTACTS.

The great thing about this is under the PEOPLE APP only MY CONTACTS and the GROUPS I have created show up in the PEOPLE APP.

This is what I hoped would happen.

What happened in addition to this you ask?

Now when I go into the PHONE APP I click on MENU then PEOPLE and voila! Only the selected contacts come up. Perfect so far right?

Wrong. From the HOME screen I press the TALK BUTTON. When I start scrolling through the HISTORY of the calls and I arrive at the last HISTORY call I see that the 1st CONTACT of my 4200 contacts shows up. Then I scroll on down and realize that all 4200 contacts ARE THERE!!!!

So it is not only the PEOPLE APP that needs work but ALSO the PHONE APP. In my opinion.

Am I missing something?

So my question is now how do I tell the phone app to only sync whats in PEOPLE APP and not request ALL CONTACTS?

Any thoughts? Ive only worked and researched this for about 5 hours. So I am probably missing something.

Thank you for your help.

6.5 with good battery

Dear Friend

I think u didn't have your hands on a good 6.5 ROM

There are 6.5 ROMs with good battery backup in the OPAL forum

Jagan has created this magic for the first time but its a customized version, you may like it

But if u want a ROM like default HTC version you may try my ROM on this thread...http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=655572

Its awesome on battery...just like original 6.5

Some users had a issue while installing this ROM because of different versions of ONBL on OPAL...

My ROM is based on OS 1.35.0.0 and ONBL 1.35.0000

If ur device holds same specs u may use this
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Shreyas Jani:
HEy,well,the main problem with me is i m a bit stubborn on accepting the fact that the start menu in all the new roms is being put at the bottom and not on the top as the original 6.5's...currently,m trying out the Evo2 by Jagan..its awesum,but misses out on sum important facts and icons,such as on the start menu bar,there is no display of the lock icon when i try out other themes..agreed that hez currently made the best roms here,but it also misses out on the usb connections menu,from which i can have an access to change the actie sync and disk drive settings...i put a lock code to my device,hence,it doesnt appear(on my device,yes i m facing this)also,if suppose,it does come,and if i check the 'dont show this menu again',the =n i m in a complete mess....the rom is stable,but in the long run,the lock icon on the start menu disappears.well,whatever Jagan has made,its commendable,I dont even kno a single percent of what and ow,a stable batery backup rom has been made with utter precision,but,as a friend,i wont like this work to go hay wire...this is not criticizing,but a note to make things more perfect,so that no 1 has a chance to complain....

whatever it is,m keen on the next updated version of the Evolution series,this time with the start menu up....

thanks for making roms...u people make our life work...

love u guyz,thanks for advice...

Backup?

Hi Shreyas18,

before flashing the ROM did you take the backup of your current Stock rom and SPL? Did you use any backuptools? If yes, can u kindly share those?

Thanks in advance.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic ROM Development] Shreyas Jani:
before flashing which rom???well,i donot take any back up for any rom...all i keep is the .nbh file.thats it...after that its a normal copy-paste work to be done...the .nbh is to be copied,and put into the installation package...to download the installation package,visit the evolution 2 update post posted by jagan 2..google is a great help...but if u dont find a stock rom,u may ask any of the senior members here..they'd be a gr8 help..if u planning to hav a back up of ur rom,please ask for the procedure..i am not aware of it...i advice do not back up ur current rom(6.1 or 6.5)just go on with your customisation...untill u r 100% sure that u hav the stoc rom put up on either xda or google...6.5 is way better than 6.1...camera functions are too good,and it is lot more stable...if at all u need to degrade ur rom frm 6.5 to 6.1,visit a htc service centre and ask the tecnitian to do the needful,swear they are a gr8 help,and it wont cost u nythn..

Does anyone know when Orange HTC Hero users in the UK are getting the Android update from 1.5 ? Is it to 2.0 or 2.1 ?

I'd like to know if and when this will be available for my phone. Here's my phone details:

Firmware version: 1.5

Baseband version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29

I don't really need to unlock my phone and would like to wait for an official release. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a noob and there's no info on the HTC support site.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dom5079:
I have an Orange HTC Hero also, the update is going to be 2.1, end of may, start of june

at least according to orange

I wouldnt wait, just root, it is very simple, you may need to downgrade, PM me if you need help
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddotpatel:
Definitely. Have a play whilst your waiting, try some different ROMs.

Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature, it has everything you need to know. I recommend it to any beginner.

Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll wait if it's just going to be a couple of weeks.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huddie:
Just phoned HTC Support. They said there's no official confirmation of the release details, but unofficially, here's what they said to expect:

* v2.1 to be released. Release scheduled for June. Wouldn't be more specific about date.

* Improved bluetooth implementation, inc file transfer.

* Release likely to comprise of preparatory updates, followed by main ROM update.

this morning it was 100% and when i got home it was at 87% but after i did a soft reset it said 15% i did another resent and now its at 45%, i cant get it to read the batter correctly anymore?

charged for AROUND AN HOUR and how it says 100%
[XPERIA X2 General] chanakya.xpera:
i am having the same problem after MR2. it was abt 56% after a soft reset(Phone was really slow kind of hanged) wend to 15% and another soft reset back to 54%. some bug i guess :mad::confused:

it seams that it is some bug but no one has found yet an solution..
[XPERIA X2 General] amdx2:
come on guys, too focus on how bad the x2 is and forgot about the basic problems.. has anyone come to mind it might be the battery?? i had that problem too thinking i have overcharge the battery so when out and buy a new one now its all sweet.. and send the old one back SE they gave me a new one.
[XPERIA X2 General] kronos1:
well hard to say but it is from the start-brand new battery and from the beginig..li-polymer battery are hard to overcharge-they can be charged even if they have 70% or 80% power still in it...but l have confirmed in Serbia several cases of battery issue-so are they all "overcharged"?
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
ive had at least a dozen mobile phones over the last decade and ive found with practically every one of them that if you do a reset or turn the phone off the battery meter will drop. this is nothing new and not specific to the X2 or even sony (ive had nokias and philips phones do it). i dont know if its because it takes extra grunt to restart the phone or it loses calibration or what. the battery meter guesses the percentage of power based on the voltage so its not an exact reading anyway. ive found that popping it on charge for a bit seems to sort it all out again.
[XPERIA X2 General] poetryrocksalot:
it never happens to any of my phones. I mean sure, it drops by about 5 percent but that's if I am updating on the phone.
[XPERIA X2 General] rsx19:
not that it wont stop charging, its just the meter changes erratically with no reason, frim 90 to 4 back to like 50 just from a soft reset
[XPERIA X2 General] kronos1:
but now how to stop charging?

when my phone is turn on and connected to a wall charger,then charger charge the battery to 100%..and that is that..but it still charging. when phone is off and connected on charger,then it charge to 98%..that is what it shows when i turn on the x2. l have tried battery calibration procedure and nothing..
[XPERIA X2 General] mtechfan:
I noticed this happened on MR1 when removing and replacing the battery (as we all needed to do soooo many times :p). Something must be happening with the contacts. I just made sure they were clean and reinserted my battery and haven't had a problem since.
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
has anyone noticed that when you charge the battery

when the phone is switched off, that the battery does not stop charging? the big battery icon keeps going up an down even if you leave it charging all night? the icon is still showing charge..
[XPERIA X2 General] BRAIN_STEW:
**Charging Info**

Information from xperia.GB@support.sonyericsson.com back in February

'The Initial Charge should last about 4-6 hours or untill fully charge and should be recharged when possible'
[XPERIA X2 General] mathiosn:
that is not an answer, i've had my phone ever since january... after 3 firmware updates it's still the same
[XPERIA X2 General] rsx19:
and this does what, i charged over night and i did a soft reset and my battery went down to 64% and another soft reset made it go up to 99%, what the heck
[XPERIA X2 General] kronos1:
That is now 4th confirmed..this is exactly what is happening
[XPERIA X2 General] fila87:
i can confirm that too.
[XPERIA X2 General] BRAIN_STEW:
My previouse post is a guidline for charging.

With Li-Po's if you over charge them they discharge, this is a well know fact for RC cars/planes that run Li-Po's which is why they have charges with so many settings to get optimal performance and warnings and cut off when fully charged if the cut off/discharge does not take place it makes the Li-Moss (dendrites) unstable, when they get long enough they can short out the battery and cue explosion

When on charge for a long period have you noticed that the battery gets rather hot, and after 30/40 mins it is cool again?? this is because it has been over charged and is discharging to stop it from exploding. it also explains why even tho its been on charged all night its only at %60 odd because the discharge has taken place.

and i have just been told by a work friend that HP are doing a re-call because of the above.
[XPERIA X2 General] kronos1:
All this you provide is ok,but problem was from the start-brand new phones were bought and from start this happens..so SE sold us defect battery? Funny, but there is no point to talk about over heat and overcharge when simple..battery icon large one when phone is off do not stop or go off display few people tried 9-12h and it still is there. Battery is no hot..it is hot after 2h-little hot..after that phone is cold. l believe that something is wrong with registry keys for charge time..l am not a programmer or developer but l dont think that we all fu*** up our batteries ..this is not a first phone to us..so we are not amateurs in usage of battery charge.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
i dont understand.. why would you turn off the phone to charge it? it does appear there is still an error but this isnt necessary and wont charge the phone any faster or more efficiently.
[XPERIA X2 General] kronos1:
Some times l do not want to be disturbed and if battery is low l turn off the phone...and plug it to charge... obviously there are no body who thinks that this bug is annoying.

This is my first device with such a bug,and because l deal with mobiles(l had over 100 devices and use them form last 10 years) never cross to such a issue..and nobody know how to solve this bug.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
but if you dont want to be disturbed... turn off the volume! lol. yes its a known bug but one you shouldnt really ever encounter. theres no reason to turn off your phone. it would be nice if sony could fix it, but by the looks of it they either cant or wont fix it. you can very simply avoid the bug. if turning the phone on silent isnt sufficent then you can select "airplane mode" and that will completey turn off all reception so you wont recieve any messages or calls. and you wont have to wait 3 or 4 mins for the phone to boot up either.
[XPERIA X2 General] kronos1:
well ok..your statements are welcome...but the bug annoys me..and lot of other people.
[XPERIA X2 General] anothadave:
yeh i know what its like when you find a bug you hate.... no matter how trivial it is you will notice it every time and it becomes a mission to try and get it fixed! lol.

There are a couple rooted roms from the leaked ruu. Damagecontrol has a rooted version.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daryelv:
Damage took the leaked (now Released) RUU and basically ripped out the pieces that would cause your phone to be unrooted and then packaged it back together so users could flash it without losing their root access. (Thank you Damage!)

There are no true complete "rooted RUU" or "rooted ROMs" based on the leaked (now Released) RUU. The hboot in the new RUU is newer and an expoit has not been built yet. There are ROMs using pieces (framework, apps, etc.) from the leaked RUU.

This is the version that was released a few days ago, but now its officially released and we were having issues being rooted on it, right? But damage got it to root, so we can flash this over 2.1 roms now, right?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:
Damage didn't root anything. What he did was extract the update.zip for flashing and made sure superuser worked.

When you flash damage's or any other zip file based ROM for that matter, you aren't doing anything to modify your phone's hboot or recovery partitions.

the 2.1 RUU is a whole package. When you execute it it wipes all of your partitions. Recovery and HBoot included. This removes Root and the ability to use a custom recovery. 2.1 hasn't been exploited yet. PERIOD.

Any help?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
Doesn't mean we have the same exploits.

Good example. Hero and Eris ran very similar code (Cupcake version 1.5). We had ours rooted in about a month after release. The Eris had the vulnerability that allowed the Hero to root patched...their root is based on a completely different exploit and took much longer to root.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
Can you use the 1.5 RUU? I don't know if that's possible.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Pretty sure you get the 'this version is older than your current version' error if you try that.

If you've done the 2.1 RUU from sprint you're stuck until/unless a new root exploit is found.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdawg0024:
You have lost ROOT access by installing using the RUU, I dont think you can downgrade your Firmware version now. You should have used Damages' Leak it was the same thing as the update but still had ROOT access.. Sorry.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkirton:
I was afraid of that.

Has anyone actually flashed a rom via HBOOT or Fastboot? I thought someone once did. If so, I'm wondering if you could flash that way when you lose root.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyNY:
Trying to flash back to older RUUs failed. Trying to flash to custom ROMs failed.

How to get back to stock

Hi I am really new to this forum

But I just had this idea...

go to a sprint store and complain :

my bluetooth does not work with my car! I want the old version back as it is essential for my day to day operations ! then scream really loud -- I bought this phone for this feature ... blablabla

2.1 bluetooth problem is a known bug for now -- so you have time until they fix it...

I think this should do it:

Have not tried this myself though ---

Might do it later today :)

as I am one of the dumb people who never had root -- then upgraded RUU and now really wants root
