[EVO 4G General] Khemistry:
I can't speak for anyone but myself ... but I've had two different experiences with Sprint.

The 1st experience which was a few years ago ... I had Sprint for about three years plus a few months. In that time, I had a whopping 18 phones totaling over seven different models ... the worst service in the world, sometimes averaging over 25+ dropped calls in a day ... I couldn't even dare dream of getting a signal in the basement of my home ... surprise bills in the mail every single month, most of which were significantly higher than what it should be ... an dozens upon dozens of calls to Sprint customer service and dozens of visits to the Sprint Store.

Fast-Forward a few years to 2008 ... I came back to Sprint after jumping ship for Verizon. The only reason I came back to Sprint was because I know someone who works for Sprint and they got me service under their employee account. Otherwise, I don't think Sprint could have paid me to come back to em. Anyway, I wouldn't believe it if God himself would have told me ... but Sprint has literally done a complete 180 in every sense of the words. I don't even think I've had 25 dropped calls in the almost two years I've been back with them. Remember, I used to average 25 dropped calls PER day. I haven't been to a Sprint Store once since I've been back to em. I've only had two phones ... a Blackberry Curve and the Touch Pro2. I did get a replacement BB Curve once but it turns out it wasn't needed. I'm still on my 1st TP2. No surprise bills in the mail, yet. Customer service has been amazing the few times I've had to call ... but you have to take that with a grain of salt because I have access to employee accounts customer service. I get FULL service in the basement of my home now. Can't even believe it. I tether all the time and I get fast DSL speeds.

So, I say all this because it's kind of premature to still think the Sprint has "crappy service". I know that some people still do experience really bad service with Sprint, but I can tell you my experience has been 100% different (for the better) my 2nd time around with Sprint. I don't even want to consider changing networks.
[EVO 4G General] khov07:
Of course everyone's experience will vary when dealing with such a large company, but one main reason I stick with Sprint is for their customer service.

AT&T is ABSOLUTELYthe WORST - I manage several different AT&T accounts (all types of services: DSL, fiber, T1, voice, VPN, wireless), and with very rare exception their customer service is awful. I wish I could record my calls to them and post them so you can hear.

Verizon is pretty good. Their network is excellent and they make upgrades and ports very easy, very smooth.

However, Sprint provides the best overall customer service, plus they have EVO!!!

On my HD Mini, the Notification LED only gets on when charging...

Contrary to the documentation of the device , the LEDs does not notify the arrival of new messages (emails and SMS).

How can this problem be solved? Or is it a bug?
[HD Mini General] moscard:
Hi,

I am still waiting on my mini, nevertheless I read that you could use :

BsB Tweaks 1.6. It is normally one of its features.
[HD Mini General] the-lightning:
i note that when the phone goes in sleep mode (i set to 10 minutes), the notification led keeps blinking for a few minutes.

so if i miss a call, i basically don't see it.

is there any chance to make it last much longer?
[HD Mini General] Elena:
A LED-Tweak would be great.

[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
Well... I got to tell you all that it's from a CDMA2000 device so it lacks some function on GSM network. It's an operator customized Manila 2.5 and if you truly want to use it, don't use the Manila People package in it.
[Windows Mobile] BeeGee_Tokyo:
Did you use the packages as they are or did you change something.

If I just add the packages the homescreen is not starting. I just get the message "Launching HTC Sense..." then after a while I get "Tap here to launch HTC Sense"

Trying it on a Topaz with ROM 2.54 SYS 21904 EXT 21891

edit:

In the reg file of Manila core it says "Rhodium S2", wondering why it doesn't work on the Topaz.
[Windows Mobile] christonabike:
It's working perfectly on my HD2 with 23569 - it's certainly not operator customised. It looks very similar to the Rhodium 20121225 (full landscape) version I was using before.

Thanks for sharing :)
[Windows Mobile] dm03 shm3h:
It is working perfect for me too....;)
[Windows Mobile] smile616:
Thks a lot
[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
It certainly is. The People tab MASD is CS_Manila_People, the MASD in the packages may be changed. And these packages come from a operator customized ROM.
[Windows Mobile] christonabike:
I'm sorry, maybe I should have qualified my statement further:

Although this manila version may have originated from a Rhodium, operator customised ROM, there is no outward appearance of customisation.

Visually, and functionally, there is no difference to the Rhodium 2012 1225 manila I used beforehand.

If you can elaborate as to the CDMA customisation that breaks functionality on the people tab for GSM users, we would be very grateful (as it appears to work perfectly in all areas).

Thanks again to Cloudyfa for sharing!
[Windows Mobile] cnzqy1:
I didn't cook it in, but since the People tab is from a world phone(CDMA GSM dual mode), there should be functions missing or unneeded in the People tab. So I recommend changing the People tab.

[HD2 General] Evolution-22-:
So I tried to search but couldnt find what I was looking for.

How do you exactly install apps, themes or games properly on this phone. The only program I found that somewhat worked was Omarket. Reading here in the forums people suggested that all the apps or themes I would need were here. I found both apps and themes I like but cannot get them on the phone to work.

I download the the theme or app on my computer then I make a custom folder on my SD card then extract all the files to that folder. When I go back into my phone and try to do a set up I get taken to a blank white screen that says something like

file://localhost/Storage%20Card/<name of program or app>

Im new to this phone been trying to research alot about it.

I tried finding all the "noob" post to read but maybe Im not finding the right ones

If for some reason you needed to know my software info here it is.

ROM Version: 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE

Radio Version: 2.10.20.26

Thx for any and all of your help. Im trying! =P
[HD2 General] dkb218:
Apps that can be installed from the phone will have a .cab extension. Locate the folder with the .cab files and click on one. It will start the install process.

Apps with .exe extensions will need to be loaded from you computer. Make sure your device is hooked up via activesync and click the .exe app you want to install.
[HD2 General] Evolution-22-:
So for the .cab files I have to go to the website from my phone and download them there for it to be on my phone properly? Or is there any way I can download them to my desktop then transfer it to my phone and then install it on my phone?
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
"How to install a cab.

You simply download the cab to your computer. Then, copy/paste the cab to your storage card using the USB connection. Then, using your file explore on your phone locate the cab file in your storage card and install it by double taping the file. Install onto device or storage card. I prefer installing onto the storage card."

Take a look at my sticky, you'll find it to be very helpful.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=663845
[HD2 General] marduk79:
you can do it either way. If you download them to your desktop, connect your phone via active sync, copy the cab and past it to where ever it is that you want to save it on your phone. (sd card is prefferred for space reasons) after that, open the location where the cab is stored and you can run it from there. If you download from your phone, determine where you want to save the cab, your options will be device and card. You will also have an option to save in a specific folder. after that, locate the cab and instal.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Brett3rThanU:
So I really like the CyanogenMOD Live wallpaper for the Nexus One, however I was wondering how easy it would be to change the background? I want to keep the color of the lines or whatever they're called the same, but just change the background image. If possible, I'd also like the wallpaper to not move, meaning it's the same image across all of my home screens. Any guides or anything on how I can do this? Thanks!
[G1 General] worldestroyer:
I've started to notice since these past two radio revisions that Edge seems completely useless sometimes. If it's 2 bars or less while on edge then my data connection is practically useless.

It's even more frustrating because I might have 3G in the area, but the phone decides that the 3G is inadequate so it switches to Edge, which doesn't have that much better reception (1 bar?) and ends up being completely useless. I've tried changing the build.prop values with no tangible benefits.

I've started running my phone set to "WCDMA ONLY" and it seems to be running amazingly well, even with 0/1 bar Fluctuations I still get speeds 2x Edge.

WCDMA coverage is decent in my area, but I was still wondering if there was anyway to adjust at what dB rating the phone switches from one radio to another?

Running CM5.0.7 & 2.22.23.02

[Hero, G2 Touch General] seshmaru:
Okay, I'm assuming you all bought your hero's for what it was capable of when you bought it, seeing as there were no confirmed updates from HTC and even Google scheduled yet, so why does the majority get annoyed when their phone misses out on the latest 2.2 update? It still has all the features you bought it for. Any update at all is a positive, no update is neutral since your phone didn't lose anything, it just didn't gain anything either. Besides the fact that our Hero's already have basic flash support and are ahead of most devices in functionality just because it was ahead of its time when it got released?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobber:
I am somewhere in the middle: somewhat content with my Android 1.5 Hero and somewhat annoyed at the lack of updates. I think the trouble all comes down to convergence. Let me toss a couple thoughts your way. Generally speaking, in the recent past people have:

1) Paid full price for a computer (laptop, desktop, etc) and then promptly go out at get what ever Internet service provider they want (cable DSL) etc. The computer works on any network.

2) Paid a reduced price for mobile phones for the trade off of signing a contract and being tied to a particular provider. In many cases, only certain phones are available on certain networks. This is the complete opposite of the computer case in #1

3) Expected that their computer will be upgradeable (for a fee) over the years, at least until the hardware becomes obsolete. I know I've had XP, Vista, and Windows 7 on the same machine.

4) Expected that if they wanted new features on a phone, they would need to get a new phone.

Now the phones and computers are, too some extent, converging into one device. If I use my Android phone to check email, twitter, facebook, etc and never make voice calls - is it really a phone? No, it is just another Internet connected device for which my expectations are typically that I can upgrade the device until the hardware becomes obsolete. I didn't necessarily say that should be free, but it should be possible.

Another aspect that people expect of their computers, is that they can load virtually any application designed for that OS. Even today, most applications (if not all?) written for Windows 7 still run on XP. With Android, the applications seem to have been tied to the OS. For example, with my 1.5 phone I still can't use Google Voice search or Google Goggles? Why? My phone has a camera and a microphone, but for some reason you need to have 1.6 for them. Same for the free Google Navigation. You need to have a later version - just to run an application.

Again, I am somewhere in the middle. I have been VERY pleased with my HTC Hero. At the same time, I sure would like Google Voice search, Navigation, multiple gmail accounts, etc. I might even be willing to pay to update it (much like Apple makes people pay for iPod Touch updates). But shelling out $600 for a new phone (I buy unlocked - which is much cheaper for me in the long run) for those features does not seem worth it.

The lesson learned might be to always by the Google phone (i.e. Nexus One or whatever comes next). Google are responsible for pushing out those updates and it seems to happen fast!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pauliusba:
I bouth my Hero after I saw the HTC tweet that they are working on the 2.1.

Update from 2.1 to 2.2 is a natural function of Android - it's OTA friendly. If a manufacturer declares Android, it declares everything what goes with it. If they don't want to spend time on such minor updates as 2.2, they should declare that as well: Android without updates. And they have not. So people are angry for not getting what they expect. And the expectatons are absolutely reasonable. That's why I will NOT buy any other HTC device. I learned that they dont't treat us, customers, fairly. They are going to do the same exact thing with the Desire as well. Not going down that path again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ddotpatel:
I personally haven't heard one person moaning about not getting 2.2.

But people are expecting 2.1 due to no updates being given on the OS since the handset was released. Hero users were promised a long time ago that we would be getting 2.1 due to 1.6 being skipped, whereas other, lower spec models had that update.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] seshmaru:
You don't know what functionality will be added two updates later, so not having them is neutral, no one is oblidged to update their products and they can be discontinued whenever they wish. Does it matter? No, you got the phone based on the features it had when you bought it, the phone doesn't all of a sudden get worse because it didn't get an update.

I for one will purchase another HTC device when I'm done with my hero, simply because they deliver the best product with the best feature set regarding android, if updates are slow oh well, I buy phones for what they are capable of at the time of purchase since I can't look into the future, and neither can you.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobber:
So - all you set out to do with your original post was anger people and not take into account other peoples point of view? I took some time to provide some rational arguments.

Dont you expect to get updates for your computer? Graphics Drivers? Network Drivers? Operating Systems? Surely you don't just by a new computer everytime you need that functionality. You expect either the OS Vendor or the computer manufacturer to provide updates - both to create new features and fix bugs.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] seshmaru:
Bug fixes yes, but as they said those will be provided, and no I don't expect additional features, sure I'll be happy with new features but I didn't expect them. Even though phones are getting closer and closer to being computers they aren't.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] clobber:
How are they different?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] VaKo:
I was happy with it when I got it, it was after all the flagship HTC device of 2009. But then about a month later 1.6 came out, and HTC said they were working on an upgrade to 1.6. This was delayed, then 2.0 came out and HTC suggested they would upgrade to 2.0 instead. The same happened with 2.1. But you are correct that they never really announced any upgrades officially, it was just announced on there twitter stream. Which is half the problem really. They kept suggesting that they were working on an upgrade, but kept pushing it back. Had they just done the 1.6 upgrade and then stopped, I don't think half as many people would be annoyed.

What HTC did wrong here was to give inconsistent information, along with delays and then kept junking what they had done and telling people they were working on something better. As a result, people kept hanging on, and being told that if they just waited a little longer then they would get an upgrade. If HTC had just come clean and updated us with offical announcements, or had stuck with 1.6 and been honest about a lack of improvement, then people wouldn't still be waiting.

Also, if you look at the iPhone model, they may charge for upgrades but the original 2G iPhone has only just gone out of support. Given that the Hero was the 2009 flagship Android device, and was still being sold way into 2010, its a little hard to stomach the idea that its out of support so quickly.

tl;dr HTC kept pissing us around and making us wait just a little longer, when it could have just said "not going to happen, here is 1.6, sorry" and this is annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Alex~:
Are we buying a piece of hardware which is only going to be bug fixed, or are we buying hardware which is going to be updated for a certain amount of time even after they're no longer selling it?

In my opinion we're not just buying hardware, we're buying a software package behind it. That software needs to be updated, otherwise some major killer feature in a slightly newer version isn't possible for you to get - such as Google navigation, can turn a 6 month old phone which has the hardware capability into a device which is so frustrating.

I expect my device to last around 2 years, various networks offer contracts on these devices for 2 years, I think it's fair to expect updates to smart phones for that duration. I wouldn't expect every feature to be supported (eg. no live wallpaper if the device can't handle it), but it should be updated so it's possible to run the latest apps on it.

The phone manufacturers need to be honest on how long they plan to support these things, because it is becoming an issue. People feel abandoned if they pay hundreds of pounds on a device and never get an update, whilst other users pay the same amount and get multiple updates. If HTC doesn't want to release updates then that's fine - I'll just consider it before buying the device.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cauli:
Nice argument. I hadn't thought about the convergence issue. You might well have hit the nail on the head.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] seshmaru:
I see your point, but if you had gotten any other non android smartphone besides the iPhone you wouldn't be getting significant feature set updates either.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] snafle:
But some people bought the hero because HTC said they were working on 2.1 months ago, others bought it because it was advertised "Android" and assumed you'd get Android updates. Others bought it because it's a good phone, but to the first two groups of people, the promise of new features was a reason for buying.

People are annoyed because HTC won't provide an update they've said they're working on (2.1), which seems to be a marketing interference to get as many people to buy a new device, rather than keep using their all one.

Also annoying is that we're stymied from having a generic OS made with drivers for all sorts of mobile hardware, but that's more of a philosophical annoyance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Deke Martin:
I'm ticked off at the lack of update, not because I think I deserve an update per se, but more because I think I deserve all the features to work properly on my phone, and they don't.

And it's not like I could have tried it before I bought it either...

I've been an HTC user since 2003 and have always promoted the brand, but I don't think I'll get another one after this.
