[Hero CDMA General] rt1oo:
so you've just gotten a cheap hero on Ebay or finally got an available upgrade on your account. you've probably played around with the hero for a little while, maybe installed a few apps, learned how to use the keyboard and probably snapped a few pictures. you've put a few customizations into the phone, like your ringtone and the city where you want your weather forecast for. you've linked your facebook friends and contacts. you've found a cool new background. and after looking through the market's categories, there aren't too many super-engaging apps to try out.

you've heard about rooting your phone and want to try this out. How do you do this? well you searched the web (good job! search here too ^^ upper right corner!) or posted on yahoo! answers (come on...) and found that xdaforums.com is ground zero for all things mobile hacking. you've managed to find the cdma hero section and now here you are, confronted with a barrage of topics, mostly about things that might as well be written in martian.

Hi! welcome to the forums. feel free to introduce yourself here and ask ANY questions that you might have (AFTER SEARCH OF COURSE).

Here is a quick glossary for those who are just coming into the hacking scene

ROOT:

the act of running commands with FULL administrator access and control. this means you are not held back by software controls from seriously messing things up. With that said, if you read carefully EVERY TIME before you flash updates, you should be just fine :)

NANDROID:

a complete backup of the data on your phone, complete with contacts, messages and all installed apps.

ADB:

Command-line tool used to access your phone. Need the Android SDK installed in order to use this tool

ROM:

the phone's specific coding, comprised of the following: underlying operating system (framework, kernel, etc), applications for phone and messages and stuff, the bootscreen, the toolbars and launcher, and even more specific things like the font used on the phone and the icons for the apps on your screen.

RECOVERY IMAGE:

used to flash updates, run nandroid backups, wipe the phone's internal memory, etc. Accessed by holding the home button (when phone is off) and then tapping the end (power) button. The stock recovery image is a triangle with and exclamation mark in it. In order to flash custom ROMs you must load a new recovery image. Most rooting guides on the forum include instructions on how to do this.

ROSIE.apk:

the stock (black) toolbars and general sense UI included with the stock rom.

​

That's all for now, I'm not running on very much sleep right now so if I made any typos point em out and also come up with more glossary terms to define that you personally wondered about when you first took the plunge of rooting :)

again. I would like to extend a warm welcome to all the new members joining us here in CDMA hero-land. we look forward to the day where you'll know enough to start to teach us things ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integra144:
Can someone help me how come every so often I place press call after entering a number there can be a delay of 5 to 30 seconds where nothing happens. Or of I push the name of a recent call it has the same delay. If I push it many times sometimes it will continue placing new calls while I'm already called. I'm running Sprint 2.1 official. Thanks
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rt1oo:
you probably don't have very good service where you are, unless you deny that statement.

Only hit it once and you'll only make one call.

Sprint's rom is ridiculously slow and laggy.

More peopel could probably help you out with specific problems with sprint's rom on sprintforums.com or somewhere like that. NOT that we don't want to help, but problems often have different levels of depth, if you know what I mean. Or root and get ever CRAZIER problems and then stick around here! :)

EDIT: that is, http://www.sprintusers.com/
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integra144:
thanks, but i think its the phone, because now when I click the green button the phone comes up immediately but nothing on the screen works. Its almost like clicking an image no beeps nothing.

Below is more detail of my problem

Can someone help me. How come every so often I try to place a call their is a long delay.

For example I will push the green call button to bring up the phone. Then I will click on a name from my recently used numbers and I will click the number I want to call and it will highlight then nothing. After 10 to 15 seconds does it vibrate and place the call and go to the screen with the timer and the end button. If I get impatient and keep pressing the number (selection goes green for a second) nothing happens for 10 to 15 seconds then the call is placed and it will continue dialing, holding, and conference call as I try to talk to that person.

This delay also happens when I dial a number, and the number keypad is slightly sluggish when dialing.

Please note I a running Sprint Official OS2.1 and even though the Phone Application is sluggish outside phone mode the device seems to run when when using other internet. I am also getting strong bars and EV.

I would really appreciate your help; I just got this phone 2 days ago and really like it, but this one fault is killing it for me.

Please Help me.

Thanks

please somebody help me other than that i really like this phone.

Since you are not rooted and not running a custom ROM, this is probably not the best place to ask for help. You should call Sprint directly or check out the website/forum listed above.....
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KitsapAndroid:
This lag is common on this particular phone. Just look at all the threads about dialer lag. 2.1 made the dialer lag even worse IMO. A custom ROM may or may not fix it for you.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdotcarlisle:
i'm run Aloysius and Darchdroid I have the lag too. I dont know the problem i just wait.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joseamirandavelez:
i run DC and its laggy too... i bet its the dialer app...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tatonka_hero:
that huge delay in actually dialing the number is an issue with all of the ROM's based on the official 2.1 (and the last leak as well I believe). No idea why it happens, but I hope a dev manages to figure out how to fix it soon, because it's the biggest annoyance for me
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawnwojcik:
lag everywhere

i agree, the dialing lag is very annoying. also I have issues when im using the web browser while trying to tap on the url bar or in a search field the phone just hangs and doesn't bring up the keyboard.

while my buddie is already looking at a web page or search results on his very responsive palm pre webos im stuck waiting swearing at my phone lol.

But given all the things you can do to androids compaired to webos ill take the lag.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] extxn72:
It was so bad for me that I took my phone into a sprint store and showed them how f'ed up it was. They said that it was happening a lot...evidently they have an internal forum where these issues get posted and the tech I talked to at the store said he saw a ton of posts referencing this same issue. They told me, however, that my phone passed diagnostics and that I could make and receive calls, to which I responded, "sure, I can make calls, but it barely functions as a phone." They sent me on my way, and I figured that was that until I got a text 2 days later saying that my replacement phone was in.

When I went to pick it up, the store rep said, "We'll have to reload the update for you" and I told him not to bother. Whatever issues 1.5 had, they were better than the enourmous issues with 2.1. Of course, as soon as I got it home, I rooted it (the 2.1 root came out the next day) and had 2.1 running quick as a fox anyway.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
I have had the same issue, but have discovered one important thing by looking at the logs and just observing... This does not happen when using WiFi. I have a log showing that this problem is related to turning the radio off in order to make the call. For those who do not know, this is unique to CDMA in that it cannot use both data and voice at the same time. For some reason it is taking forever to turn data off in order to make the call. This has been reported to Flipz and he is looking into it, but until then I guess you just have to put up with it or go back to a 1.5 rom.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unCoRrUpTeD:
For those to say that the problem doesn't exist on rooted phones or that he should go somewhere else is not giving any good advise.

I have been rooted for several months and never really had any problems with an extremely long delay until recently. . I know if I am rebooting my phone I have to wait a little bit to do anything, even after Sense has finished loading or i will have the same problem. I'm sure you were not rebooting your phone when this happened.

Here was my experience 2 days ago...

I tried making a call and pressed on the contacts name. It was just sitting there. After 20 seconds it still wasn't calling, so I pressed the name again and after 15 more seconds it began calling the person. And then it started dialing again. I hit End Call and attempted to do it again. I had the same problem. I then rebooted my phone and waited 5 minutes and tried again and had the same results. In between pressing the contact and the phone actually calling it just sat on the contact screen. I have had the same ROM running on my phone for 3 weeks and this was the first problem I had like this.

At first I thought it was with Sprint, but it should have atleast gone to the calling screen and said dialing if it was even attempting to call.

If you have had this problem was it just stuck on the dialer/contact screen or was it on the screen that says dialing/calling?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
It gets stuck on the dialer/contact screen. I had this problem slightly with 1.5, but it is far worse in 2.1 including all official 2.1-based roms. The problem is present in all 2.1 based versions of Fresh and Fresh Toast.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david_ag:
I had this problem on every 2.1 ROM. It went away with Fresh Toast and the 710 Kernel. Now the most lagg I get on the dialer is between 1 or 2 seconds. Before it could be 10 seconds before the call placed. I am extremely happy with that overclocked ROM. Try it out if you want.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] nunein:
Hi all,

I'm searching for an application or registry tweak to power-up (respectively awake from stand-by) my Topaz after connecting external power. This works if an USB Active-Sync connection has established but not if only USB external power is connected (e. g. car-charger).

Thanks!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] nunein:
Is there nobody who can help?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Hi LichtiMC,

looks very good with the sdk. I will give it a try on the weeked, after Sun :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
Did it work properly???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the0ne:
this will come in handy.. thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wardh:
It works great on HD2! Even power on (not just from sleeping but shut down) is working over 3G. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BJohnM:
Looks very cool

Unfortunately I'm not enough of a geek I guess. When I set up port forwarding, I have to provide a protocol to use. Any clue what that should be?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
You have to use UDP as protocol...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Damn linksys routers wont let you forward .255....

Lan works perfectly!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Demon_man:
you cant use this if your pc is wifi only though can, main pc downstairs connected to the router mine is wifi upstairs, just been reading WOL cant be done over wireless??:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
No it cant, as your wireless card/device needs to be powered to have a connection to your network.

Even when your PC is off and is hard wired you have link lights showing the connection.

Wireless needs to be powered to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Demon_man:
cheers MalekoUK thought i had read right well in a fashion you can do it but you need, "the network card must support it and may need a special jumper cable to connect to the motherboard's Wake-on-LAN connector (a three-pin connector on motherboards using an ATX power supply"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wake-on-LAN

hey ho oh well ill do this at the missus house haha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] highlander.pl:
"...Try temporarily turning off JavaScript while working with the router's configuration page, you could trick the router into accepting the 255 entry into the last octet field..."

At my linksys it works (WRT54GCv3)

Highlander
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] highlander.pl:
OK, I've tested it on following hardware:

1.Router Linksys (WRT54GCv3, Firmware Version: 1.00.14)

- port forwarding:

port number: 7, UDP to broadcast address xxx.xxx.xxx.255 (with a little helpful trick described in above post - it works on that router)

2.Lenovo T61p at docking station (lan connected to it)

3. HTC HD2 (ROM 1.48.479.1)

The PC awoke up from local network and Internet (3G) as well

The only problem with apps was to fill up the WAN IP when the field was hidden by manila pop up keyboard :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bernabap:
Finally someone made a finger-friendly WOL.

Thanks LichtiMC really enjoyed it!

Unfortunately I never got to use WOL over the internet with my router, I tried several times and always end giving up.

I will explain here my attempts to see if someone with the same hardware can help me. I have a linksys WRT54G v6.0 with firmware DD-WRT v24 SP2 micro.

I've tried to port (7) forwarding to host ip (192.168.1.79) or to broadcast (192.168.1.255), both do not work. Also tried to add a startup script on the router but did not work too.

I made a picture of my attempts, if anyone can help me I'd be grateful.

My problem is only with internet, under my home network works smoothly. I also can wol under my web interface of my firmware and if I click on "Wake Up" under WOL Addresses I can wake my laptop without error.

I think my problem is in the port forwarding, though it does appear as if they were forwarding (as pictured) I think is not!

Is there any way to check if the ports are open or not? Most software that I know for this function only works when the port are active. None of them recognized port 7 as open.

Thanks for any help!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tomparrish:
Thank you so very much for taking the time to share this with us.

I have been wanting something like this ever since March 15th.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicandris:
hello there... i hope @LichtiMC won't mind to place his thread as an app request in android forums!!

if you can compile it for android that would be excellent, or you can share the code with the developers willing to start this project!

thanx in advance!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] speebman:
great job, finealy somebudy tought about this

but i think you need to post a good "how to" configure your router or get your ip from the system.

still wounderful job

danny
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Sorry there was no time until now. I will install it while i am in the office and will do this with the people here :D:D:D. That will be fun...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mad Marc:
Hi LichtiMC!

Great piece of software! Working flawless on my TP2. Found 1 minor bug: I certainly tried it out localy at first, when taping "WoL over Internet" after that again the "Network/Local" bar comes up but the "IP/Host" and "Port" fields are missing. After a little swipe up and down the display they appear. Not realy a bug, more a graphical issue.

Thank you for sharing!

Edit: Is there a workaround for Fritz!Box 7170 to get the Broadcast-IP into the field? It tells me 192.XXX.XXX.255 is not allowed. I'll try with the computers IP for now, first I've got to setup a dyndns ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
Look at this...

http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Wake-on-LAN_(tutorial)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Yeh, I did try that, but it pops up the javascript message when I click save, I can enter it no problems, but when I click save it gives the error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Logicalstep:
I've setup WOL an a few PC's and a couple of different routers, some work some don't work so easily. On my Dlink at work I had to setup a script to add the MAC address of the PC into the ARP routing table as it would loose the MAC routing every so often. Some Routers don;t like routing directly to the Local network, so that was how I got around it. just in case anyone else has the same issue.

Also here is a great program to check you magic packets are getting through without having to shutdown your PC everytime ;)

http://magicpacket.free.fr/

Here is the Telnet program I used to insert the MACV into the routing table on my Dlink:

http://jerrymannel.com/blog/2008/11/11/telnet-scripting-tool-aka-tst10exe/

I've attached an example Script as well.

Hope this might help someone having troubles.

I'll test the program and feedback ASAP.

Good luck,

Logicalstep
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
It works flawlessly for me :)

Things I'd like to draw your attention to:

Shouldn't port be "7" by default?

It would be better if the shortcut is renamed from Wol to WoL - just to match the common style.

As to the interface. I think, there shoud be default action of edit for tapping the Saved devices entry (to the left from checkboxes).

The success massage should be "Magic Packet sent!", not send. And the smile... No, it's as you like. :)

And the icon.. It's low-res. The last quibbling.

Thank you much for it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adempozhari:
when i start the app my GPRS/EDGE (icon on the top) is disconnected. ??? :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adempozhari:
this what i have on my D-link...

which one should i fill up ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HD2_addict:
Nice little app, but I wouldn't use it over the internet without some form of secure connection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
I will try to change the program the way you want to, but unfortunately I wont make it, that the default action of tapping an item is edit, because these checkboxitems on my form only have an onstatuschanged event... (or at least the onklick event does not do anything... ) EDIT: OK, it worked! :D

Thanks a lot for the ipulses...

AFAIK the only security issue could be a DoS-Attack... Pls correct me if I'm wrong... and if this happens at home, then I'll simply close the port and connect using a secure connection, but as long as nothing happens I can keep the port open, isn't it? (Beside this the chance that someone wants to "denie my Service" is not really big...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mad Marc:
Here's a tutorial for the Fritz!Box 7050/7170 to get WoL running. Tecchannel

This tutorial is about 3 years old - if you have the latest firmware on your fritzbox dropbear won't work - it was written for kernel 2.4 not 2.6. I'm still searching for a solution.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sammy88:
thanks for your work !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Main screen Menu language bug :P
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
Please use v1.1... (I secretly changed this already in v.1.0 :rolleyes:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Phenomenon:
Wow, great app. Definitely worth paying for. Couple of questions though:

1) Should this be able to wake a pc from power off? If so, howd you set that to happen because I can only get it to wake from standby.

2) I read that other actions can be made to happen from WoL commands (like powering off, on, restart, etc.) will that be implemented?

Hope to hear your answers. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
I am using 1.1, it seems to have made its way back into 1.1 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] em0hawk:
Is there an Android version of this app?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
Thanks, I'm glad that you like it...

1) You have to make your network card "WoL-able"... Probably in your case, you forgot to enable Wake on Lan in BIOS-menu... You know that wol is enabled, if you turn of your PC and the two leds on your network card still blink...

2) I couldn't find a source of other WoL-actions than starting a PC...???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
Ooops... :confused: I'll fix it... :)

Not from me... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
There aren't any other commands in WoL, other than Wake up :P

HOWEVER, there is a windows command which i love (and use a lot at work), the shutdown command, MAYBE this can be implemented into you App???

For Windows XP we use:

shutdown -f -s -m \\PCNAME -t 30 -c "Comment"

I believe they are different under Windows 7:

http://www.computerperformance.co.uk/windows7/windows7_shutdown_command.htm

Maybe this could be put into action some how???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
I'll try, but I can't promise to get it to work, especially if there should not be any server app...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
New version works a treat.

I guess with there not being any command prompt, it wont work anyways.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] B.Maximenko:
Another issue found

It doesn't establish internet connection. It's necessary to use some other app to open gprs/hspda connection before sending Magic Packets. Can it be fixed? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
You're right... I couldn't find a way to shutdown/reboot a Computer without any server app... But I'll keep searching and maybe we'll find an alternative...

I'll try...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] archidune:
The only one that works for me

Great tool! Works like a charm on my HD2 with a server behind a router.

Many thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] docmalc:
What a great app buttttt I have an Android!!! =\

Is there an android (or can you dev an android) version?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uqo11:
Really great app!

If I use WOL directly after shutdown it works perfect!

But if the computer is shutdown for a couple of hours, I can't start the computer by WOL :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joff_arris:
I find the combination of your app for wakeup and remote desktop for shutdown is doing the job for me perfectly. I've put a shutdown shortcut on the desktop of the remote machine so I don't have to negotiate the windows start menu through the remote client.

Great stuff, thanks very much!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] LichtiMC:
fixed =) Pls. try if it works...

You have to draw up your list of WoL-PC's, before you see anything on the frontpage... Goto Menu --> Edit List --> Menu --> Add new dev.

I can't develope an android version, because I have neither an Android phone nor the programming skills in android... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Great new version! Thanks :)
