[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrmojom3:
I need my backlight to stay on for 2 min. I set the option in settings, battery. However the phone will continually default to 10 sec. I change back to 2 min. the phone sets it back to 10 sec. Endless cycle! HIGHLY ANNOYING!

I had the same issue on my Tilt. There were workarounds. I've been searching but cannot find a fix for the Pure.

Anybody help out?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chikoo:
Which ROM?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lac75:
Same problem on my diamond2. Latest official rom 2.53.405.5 (76952) WWE .

I try to change the default 10sec to 30 sec, but my diamond2 sets it back to 10sec.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brdaric:
Same problem here on Touch Diamond2.

After a soft reset, the backlight timeout is set back to 10 sec. The timeout setting is "forgotten" every time the phone is restarted.

I'm running the official ROM 2.16.479.1 WWE. Has anyone found a way to fix this?
[HD2 General] seeksol:
ok. i've recently started getting a message come up saying that i am almost out of space on my phone. when i checked it out there was 0.5mb remaining and 339mb used up!

so started deleting programmes i don't use via the application manager, and looked into any caches aroun that i could clear. it hasn't made much differrnce at all .

can someone tell me where all these huge files are or how i can free up a lot more room?

also it seems the g sensor has stopped working in any browser!

please can someone help. i'm tempted to start from scratch, but with the t mobile or vodafone stock roms (i'm on virgin and there's not been a rom update for a long while)

please help! i love my hd2 but i'm so tempted to go over to android on desire at this rate. just problem aftet problem, and i've got this phone for anothet 1.5 years! i just want it to work amazingly.

many thanks

whoops the total storage is 180mb and the total free storage is 0.5 mb
[HD2 General] pinchecl:
did you check your ~recyclebin map? if not set to not use it all deleted files will go there
[HD2 General] seeksol:
is tbere a recycle bin?? if so where is it?

i also looked in the windows foldet and it appears copilot is in there but it won't let me delete it . it's 6.5mb. . .
[HD2 General] Neville.Holland:
I think the recycle bin is a Resco thing!!

I’d had this before and found a temp file hogging 99mb of space on the phone memory. There is a search program in the start menu that will find these large files.

Application Data > HTC > HTC Album > Cache – is another source of memory hogging goodness. This doesn’t affect the operation of the Sense Tab, just grows every time you browse your photos. There is a hack on this site to move the cache to the storage card...

Other than that I would install a programme to clean out the temp files and folders. I use SKTools (have done for about 3 years) think it works perfectly, there are other freeware alternatives out there.
[HD2 General] damnshah:
Chances are your device memory is clogged up with temporary files...first things first, look at a program called cleartemp as it'll help clean most of the cache files

Readtboy2000's thread and move your opera cache AND pictures from device to storage card AND delete Opera9 and OperaL file (reading all of his tips/tricks HELP a lot)

next, move your album cache using a cab developed by tune4 found here

Also, use cleanRam so you don't have to soft reset tooooo many times

and report back to us :)
[HD2 General] W@RRIOR:
+1 with damnshah

and install all of the application for your HD2 in the mSD card
[HD2 General] seeksol:
oh thank you all!

it worked! i know have 112mb free instead of 0.5 mb!

now if only there was a new officiall WWE rom update my life would be complete....

[HD2 General] sp5it:
Is there any way to move Youtube temp folder to storage card?

Mike
[HD2 General] Kalavere:
You should really give a custom ROM a go, my Energy ROM uses less than 50 megs on the internal memory. A couple of times a week I delete the album cache which can use 15megs or so, and it runs lovely and smooth.

Didn't see a download link just looks like they r getting all their ducks in a row for the release.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dbldown768:
this sucks.. if its the same as the leak, then they broke my bluetooth connection to my link to cell panasonic home phone. It works in 1.5 but is broken in 2.1, wtf?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nextelian:
Same here 2.1 bluetooth is some broke-a$$ sh!t. I rolled back to 1.5 simply so that my Kenwood car stereo would work. The benefits of 2.1 don't outweigh the broken bluetooth.

I hope it's fixed on the EVO, I can live with Fresh 1.1 until then :D

on topic there should be a thread talking about everyones experince with it....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] staatscomm:
Not sure if this matters but on the support site is says Firmware - 2.1 Eclair. I think the firmware on the leak is 2.1 update1.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dbldown768:
Ok, being a complete rookie at this rooting, are you saying this kernal will have a working bluetooth? but this is not 2.1 correct.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] riggsandroid:
No indication of a Firmware Update when checking OTA.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wadeheisen:
There won't be. Sprint has already stated this will be OTW only.

Too bad this is the same as the leak. My bluetooth is broken, Sense crashes all the time. HTC dropped the ball on this one. Makes me very concerned about my EVO coming up.

I was really going to debate the Nexus One and EVO if they were both available. Mainly cause of OS updates. Now I have no choice.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] markus_del_marko:
You could always just keep the hero and wait for the next android phone to come out. I read that an nvidia tegra based android phone will come this year. Now that's something to be excited about.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] animal7296:
It is still not available on sprint but HTC has it.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
The big question would be: is that how Sprint is going to to the update, through HTC's site? Or should people wait for it to pop up on Sprint's site?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] fatboypup:
looking at that link right now theres no full rom ....... just a update from back in april of 3xMBs
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tatonka_hero:
look a little harder: "HTC HERO (SPRINT) MAINTENANCE RELEASE | 05.19.2010"

118MB, with details on 2.1 and installing
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheRonin:
I don't see it either, just HTC sync.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
They just put it up, literally. "JUST" because I looked at 9 and it wasn't there, but it is now.

http://community.sprint.com/baw/thr...963F120DC598C28E7A8251E028.app1jive1?tstart=0

There's a post on the sprint forums that sort of makes it official. The download on the sprint site is being updated (apparently they're a wee bit slower than HTC was lol)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] apristel:
no i mean control F5

:/

F5 may give you the same page even if the content is changed, because it may load the page from cache. But Ctrl-F5 forces a cache refresh, and will guarantee that if the content is changed, you will get the new content.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ziaodix:
Now the waiting begins for those ROMs based on the "Official" Official Release of 2.1 for the Hero. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] rzwww:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] ElAguila:
The official sprint site refers you to the htc site for download. If you want to check it out and don't care if you lose root then you can run this. Personally I am going to stay with the developer versions but others may not care about root. Yes the download is very slow.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dsavage:
lol. Yeah, it really becomes a problem when you have to get another phone to actually use to make calls and such because you're continually testing/tweaking/flashing your Hero. I feel your pain.

+1 on 2.1 being rooted soon enough.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ldc2335:
i almost feel the same way, but then no more wifi tether either. so ruu is a no go.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] steb0ne:
Fresh 2.1.1 is built of this leak, and has ROOT still
[Hero CDMA Android Development] DanWalker:
that's because the leak wasn't flashed it was torn apart to allow for root. It you were to use the new official 2.1 released by sprint you would have an unaltered 2.1 meaning rooting would be blocked.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nate14:
Really? I'm an addict. I'm flashing something all the time. It's hard not to on these forums. If I were you, and this is just me I'd flash Damage's 2.1 leak to keep root, just in case. But hey, if I had wheels I'd be a wagon.

Bluetooth is working fine on my Hero. I've tested both a Dual car radio head unit and BT headset. Wonder what the discrepancy is between people's BT experiences?

I haven't had a single Sense crash. Overall it seems very stable. Could it be hardware related?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Tar Heel:
But have all the 2.1 ROMs fixed the "no audio" issue? I keep trying the multiple "NOW it's fixed with this patch" but alas all the 2.1 ROMs are buggy. I'm still on Fresh 1.1 because it's stable...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] chefp:
I've been running damageless's 2.1. AFAIK it's the leaked Sprint 2.1 with root added and another minor thing. He didn't mention incorporating any audio fixes. Still waiting on his Damage Control version :)

An issue I've noticed with 2.1 is the EVDO network connection occasionally craps out even though I have full signal strength. I've found 2 work-arounds:

Connect to a WiFi network, then disconnect. This seems to reinitiate the 3G link.

Disable the Mobile connection in the Wireless & networks settings, then re-enable it.

Very annoying... hope there's a fix for this soon.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] muppetman462:
Well, if you have to lose root, then I would go back to 1.5. That way, if you get the phone repaired, you can get root access back.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] someonenewhere:

but the update on Sprint is 117 MB's and the other release is 125MB's ........

so they probably did do some changes on their previous release..

What they did was release the update to us ...then from there....they took out whatever bugs were in the previous leak.....

but it still the same release minus bugs....
[Hero CDMA Android Development] navalynt:
This RUU updates the hboot version so if you use it, your stuck. You can't just RUU back to 1.5 because it will fail with the "main version is older" error.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
why do you need to remove root? i've taken in unlocked iphones & ipod touches to apple no issues. i know people who've brought in rooted heroes no issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dhero1:
If the official release is the same as the most recent leak, as reported elsewhere, then the official release was rooted and posted without modification (other than root) several days ago - get it here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] SweepinJR:
It voids the warranty technically and I don't want any possibility of a hassle.

I will likely revert to 1.5 so I can keep root. I rather like the Fresh 2.1.1 ROM. I'm debating that still because really I never had issues with the phone til I started rooting and putting custom ROM's on.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
i know it voids warranty. i need to take my phone in to clean out dust. i don't want to flash back to 1.5 so i'm thinking about brining my phone in w/ no battery .
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
You realize they'll probably just put in a battery to test it after they put it back together, right? Or at the very least, put in a battery to see why you took the battery out. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] mjpuczko:
turning the phone on, you can't actually see the dust. i took a hero in before to have them remove dust & it was rooted. no problems. heard of numerous stories like that.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TheRonin:
I re-downloaded the official from Sprint, since the first official I had came from one of the mirrors in this thread, and it MD5'd to the same as the leak. And sprint now has a mirror up, downloaded the whole file in 12 seconds.

This Sense UI thing is horrid. It is much less snappy feeling than when I had DarthVanilla.

Am I boned, or can I install a 1.5 then root?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tyrnight:
haha I say wait for the EVO
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aztektum:
It'll run faster, sure, but they've removed some of the ways it works that I like. Like one press of the home button going to the "middle" view port. on stock it simply goes back to the one you were last on. that's nice for me since i stack news feed widgets.

Since the EVO still has Sense(less) UI, I'm still stuck dealing w/ those kinds of annoyances. Until it is rooted, of course.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zer0vette:
well i installed the Official RUU and things seem to be going good. I was getting fed up with myself and being a rom-a-holic, flashing different roms every other day.. Hopefully i can still root this version one day. :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] smw6180:
All I can say is if you have techs that suck so badly that they don't turn the phone on to verify it works after tearing it apart and putting it back together, I'm glad I don't have to use your store. ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Costa276:
I'm actually pissed. I was hoping to get my fiancee a Hero for herself. But I'm sure that by the time I get the phone for her 2.1 will be pre-installed. I can only hope that someone figures out how to root this wonderful piece of crap Sprint just slapped together in their mom's basement.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aggie6600:
The only benefit I see to Sprint's official release is that now Flipz continue working on his kitchen and officially support 2.1. Of course I'm hoping he never really stopped and will have an update out soon.
