[Hero CDMA General] chugger93:
I've been searching for ways to help with battery life and did the whole cdma network change thing. What about sync settings --> Accounts & Sync ? I couldn't find a way to change the frequency. Anyone know how often it syncs with google and if you could change it to once every 3 hours or something?
[Hero CDMA General] Kcarpenter:
So gmail uses whats called "Push" email for Android.

When your phone boots up, it screams at the server that it is awake and here are my credintials, give me whats mine. The email server decides if a sync is necesarry and does it if so. Now, in lots of cases this connection is over with and would normally close off the port.

HOWEVER in the case of PUSH email, the port stays open - this means there is constantly a line of communication between the Gmail server and the phone. When ever something happens on the server end Gmail yells at the phone and says hey catch - kinda like the peanut guy at a baseball game - any how, The server does all of the "Stuff" in this case. It is one of the reasons that when you get a gmail (in my case at least) there is only about a 15 second delay of it hitting my phone.

SO answer to your question is - No, there is no "Schedule" to modify. The server pushes mail or differences when it notices them.

NOW onto my question -

IF ANYONE can figure out how to make Exchange email ONLY sync to my phone from 5pm-7am - You would be the most AWESOME person alive.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridlock1024:
I've rooted my G1 and have tried several different roms including SuperD and others that claim to be the fastest. Within minutes of flashing the rom my phone starts to slow waaaaay down. Moving from open apps to the home screen gives me the black screen for a good 7 or 8 seconds and another 5 seconds later my icons show up. Even going into the dialer does this. I kill all open apps every few minutes to clear up memory but it's still extremely slow. Is there something I did wrong when I rooted or am I just unlucky in my choices of roms?

Is there a way to run the stock rom on a rooted phone? I never seemed to have this many speed issues before I rooted...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
Root doesn't slow you down, the specific build does.

If you want to run a stock rom on your phone, I suggest the one available at developer.htc.com/adp.html.... which has root, just restricted (for your safety) to adb connections, i.e. only the "shell" user has the right to "su".
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gridlock1024:
By build are you referring to the ROM? or the SPL? I'm relatively new to this if you haven't noticed :)

So what would be a good build that doesn't have restrictions and doesn't bog my phone down? Do I need to just start over?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
SPL is just an SPL. It has absolutely no effect on performance whatsoever. Its job is literally OVER as soon as the linux kernel takes control.

Just like the BIOS in your computer.

As for what build to run, OEM tends to be pretty lean and performs fairly consistently. Some of the community builds are very powerful, but tend to get BLOATED and slow. Cyanogen is an example of this (and typically everything based on it). Not to say that there is anything wrong with that, just a different characteristic.

You need to look at different builds that are available, and maybe try a few, and decide what you like best.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gardndj:
Go in to Spare Parts and enable "Launcher in memory." This should fix the home screen lag. If you're fine sticking with 1.6 roms, Super D is a solid and very fast option.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldenarmZ:
Try enomther's "theofficial" builds.. they're based off stock but with loads of config options.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gringo69:
well...ive run quite a few roms....i had cyanogenmod 4.2.15 n was happy with that...i would enable compcache and enable the home in memory option....

i tried super d also and liked it...i tried super csdi or something like that and liked it but it started lagging on me....kept it for a while n went back to cm

now im on cm 5.0.8 and im pretty happy with it....i have it overclocked to 576mhz, have home in memory and compcache enabled...my only problem with it is that i miss using snap photo...images come out all garbled for preview....

i tried the hero roms and i didnt like the lag on them...look nice but i prefer performance over looks

Had before the ENERGYROMS, but my HD2 (leo) was hanging over- and over, so I've read about TASK29.

Well I just downloaded it, extracted somewhere and followed all instructions, but now after using TASK29 I only get the splashscreen.

Is there any way to solve this?

Before I had Energy.Leo.23569.Sense2.5.MaxSense.UI.Jun.02, HSPL2 and Leo_Radio_15.40.50.07U_2.11.50.20.

I'm a bit desperate now, anyone who knows what the **** I bricked now?

Cheers
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
when you flashed energy you probably forgot to flash a compatible radio.

go into boot loader, flash any radio mentioned in the energy posts (you did read EVERY word in thee first few posts, right? cos only noobs skip straight to the download without reading first....)

once the radio is flashed go back into boot loader and flash energy.
[HD2 General] p107r0:
Maybe it's not bricked yet - remove the battery, let it cool down for some 15 minutes, than try again?
[HD2 General] DROCSID:
Jo mate, no as I said; I had an Energyrom AND the correct radio (newest), but I had problems with hanging homescreens etc, so it was so annoying that I was looking for a good way to solve it. So someone said here that I had to download TASK29 and CLEAN the whole HD2 and after that install the ENERGYROM again so it would be all refreshing as new. But now it doesn't work, after using TASK29, at all! I'm ****ed :D:mad:
[HD2 General] the_ape:
You have reflashed the Radio and the Rom you want after the task29 havent you? if you have, try flashing a HTC Stock rom. If that works then flash back to the Rom u want.

But it's almost certainly because you dont have the correct Radio Rom on.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
yea, what the_ape said.

when you task 29 it wipes the phone so it won't boot.

enter bootloader and flash your rom.
[HD2 General] Demon_man:
basically repeating what Sam said but looks like you don't have a ROM on your phone at all now, just flash the ROM you want again and all will be good

Thanks people, gonna try it within an hour, I will let you guys know if it's gonna work
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
Hey guys,I'm trying to root my Hero,but I am having sort of a technical difficulty.I have tried using the flashrec method,but when I click "Backup recovery image" it says "Backup failed:Command not found".I searched the forums and only thing I found was that if my firmware is patched flashrec will not work.What does it mean that I have a patched firmware?Sorry for the question,but I am partially noob!Also,can I try this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543571 method?Seems pretty easy,but the title says "If you have a 2.73+ rom with the new boot you will need to follow This Post to boot the recovery image".I have the stock Cupcake ROM and just fed up waiting for Eclair!My build number is 2.73.405.38 CL#70768 release-keys(yes,it says all that exactly).

And for god's sake guys,please tell me for sure!If I brick my phone I am screwed!Tottaly!

And finally,why the heck will we won't be able to root if we update our Hero with the official 2.1?Seriously,it doesn't make sense to me!

First off thank you very much for your reply!But are you absolutely sure there is no alternative?The goldcard procedure seems like a major pain in the a$$ to get working!And,if there is no alternative,is it surely safe?No danger to brick my phone etc.

Thanks!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melox:
I'm pretty sure, there's no alternative. But I can tell you, Goldcard Method just sound so much more complicated then it really is. Just read the guide once or twice and your phone will be downgraded and rooted within a few minutes.

Good luck on your rooting. It's worth it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolis626:
But no bricking,eh?I know I start being annoying,but please try to understand!I don't mind about the complexity,I will nail it,I just haven't tried anything with my Hero and Android yet and don't know what to pay attention to,what to avoid etc..

And another question.I have backed my data up using MyBackup.I will be able to recover it using a custom rom,right?

You need a recovery rom to flash a radio - you'll find that is very different from "rooting"
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beliskner:
As a total newbie to this i managed it on my second attempt yesterday. Most important thing i found was to make sure you mount the card as a physical and not a logical.

It's pretty safe from bricking too, i allowed flashrec to download its own recovery image but from what i can tell it downloaded the wrong one so when i tried to boot into it the phone crashed. Not to worry, back into android and put a different image on it via usb and used flash rec to to install it and that fixed it.

Then later that evening i put a villain rom release on it and found everything on it was crashing, tried a different one and things were still crashing so in the end i put a leaked unmodified 2.1 build on there and that fixed it :D

help!! when i try to create a goldcard the memory card CID wont show. after i have typed adb shell the hash symbol come up not the dollar symbol, wat am i doing wrong
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btdag:

Edit: wait a sec - you did actually type the command at the hash line didn't you? After adb shell you type: "cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1:*/cid" after the # symbol and then it comes up with your CID

Driver is probably not set up correctly (my guess). Try following my goldcard procedure instead (part of newbie guide) and see if that helps.

Hi,

I live in Dublin, Ireland and I have a HTC Desire. Layar Reality Browser works fine inside my house, but won't work outside. When outside, it says "unable to connect". I have a wi-fi connection inside the house, but I have a data plan with my service provider so it shouldn't have a problem connecting to the Internet outside. When outside, I can browse the Internet without any problems.

I'm thinking there must be some setting I need to change for it to work.

[Dash 3G, Snap Accessories] barkus:
I recently dug out my old T-Mobile Dash 3G (HTC Maple) and flashed it with the 3VOLUTION ROM 3VO.3.00.041010. Everything works great but I can't get the audio out working on my included YC-A300 HTC Multifunction Audio Adapter. I want to say back when I first got this device and it was on the original factory software version there was an application that I could run that would put all the devices audio out of the multifunction adapter but I've long since lost all those links or information. I'm just wanting to use my phone to listen to stuff at work and can't get the audio out working for some reason. I checked all over this site and can't find any information.

Just a tip, I highly discourage people from using those one that clip into air vents, especially if you live in warmer and humid areas.
