Hi,

My Hero now using VillainROM6.2.0 based on Android 2.1 and it quite slow, unstable. I decide to restore original ROM and unable to archive that.

Here is my Software Information on the phone:

- Firmware version: VillainROM6.2.0

- Baseband version: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18

- Kernel version:

2.6.23_grrr@ben

kendon@nx #39

- Build number: VillainROM6.2.0

- Software number: 1.13.531.1

- Browser version: WebKit 3.1

When I tried to restore the original ROM and the start up screen stay on "HERO" forever.

The question is: How can I restore the original ROM (rooted or un-rooted is OK)? So I can start it over again :)

Many thanks

Hey there. Go to menu > open People app > slide to Groups (the second icon). In here go to either Favourites or Friends. Find the contact you want to remove, long press on the contact and select Delete. There you go! Job done. Hope this helps.

Hello All!

New to Android, but not new to hacking mobiles.

Palm devices in middle school and high school. Original B&W iPods (hex editing using ipw) and every iPod through to iPhone (Including internal hardware mods like rerouting the DAC) - high school through past college.

Got sick of the Apple games they play with developers and haphazard code systems (rather than doing good drivers, just kept it to a bare minimum of working - see bluetooth section especially when it comes to "bitrate grouping" and "real time operations"). Played with Android, thought it was awesome and put in preorder for Evo when came.

One of the Best decisions I have ever made! In fact, so good that I am getting my boyfriend to buy one (we will be on the same plan - 25% Company discount :D). Now my brothers and cousins and aunts and uncles want one too after playing with it for a few hours. Best part, google is never going to send me angry letters or freak out about a rooted phone, heck they might even encourage it.

4G Coverage is great by me (5-6MB) so I can kick Comcast to the curb (terrible company) and everything on the phone just works, doesn't keep crashing. Everything just works, especially hooking up to my car setup and various automation tools. Games are not as good (ChaosRings), but who buys a phone to be a PSP? It is a tool!

CURRENT TASK - IR Universal Remote for Android devices (other lossless capable players with a headphone jack can too). Hopefully will be able to make it into a learning remote, but the problem is getting it to record in at a lossless or very low loss, then cleaning the signal and modulating onto stereo at 19k/channel. If someone really knows encoding, help is appreciated and it would be a free program of course! just sick of loosing remotes....and the hardware piece can be put together for $6 worth of radio shack parts or $1 using a broken remote and a trip to the dollar store.

NEXT TASK - Get a working USBhost for EVO that allows use with USB Touchscreen (lilliput model) for the ultimate Car Docking and control station.

BTW - congrats Sven on getting a USBhost for Nexus!

So well..... Hello and Nice to meet you!

Hi.

I have a problem regarding the speaker volume on my hero when using 2.1 roms.

When i turn it all the way up to max the volume is a lot lower than the official 1.5 at max volume.

This is a big problem as my phone becomes allmost unusable for GPS navigation (i have a crappy car that makes a lot of noise). I also often miss calls when using 2.1 roms.

I have tested one of the rooted official 2.1 rom and it has the same problem.

Does anyone have any idea why the max volume is mutch lower with 2.1 than 1.5? or even better have an ide for a fix?

The roms i have tested with are

Official 2.1

Cronos Droid 1.6

aHero 1.0

VanillaEclair 3.0 & 3.3 RC1

VillainROM 10
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adwinp:
That's not entirely true.

I've maxed out my volume in Hik@Ri, so you can't turn it all the way up, otherwise the sound will be distorted.

You can download Hik@Ri, extract /system/etc/AudioPara* and copy that over to you /system/etc/

Everything is ok in my Modaco version of the oficial 2.1. Maybe you didnt untick Quiet ring on pickup wich reduses ring volume when you move the phone ? in car its allwasy on move. My ringer volume is set to max everything is pretty much the same when in comes to volme.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gensplejs:
So the "Quiet ring on pickup" feature will also quiet down the voice from my stanav program (navigon)??

Thats stupid. Anyway is have tested on the modaco 2.1. But ill try to turn off quiet ring and see if that helps.

If you wanna skip to the good stuff, see this video.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PQRgT3gtmsI

It's comparing an Eris, Droid, and 3 incredibles.

It seems that whenever the incredible isn't grounded or being held it becomes unresponsive.

Heres an example in a car dock..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXB1MjYM5Ks

How many of you are getting this problem? It's actually a pretty big deal even though it wont stop me from getting the phone when its back in stores..

I'll just throw a case on it. :D

Also, doesn't it make sense that this is the reason why it suddenly became impossible to get an incredible?

The reason we've gotten is AMOLED shortages but they're probably fixing this in the background.

I really hope so, because the first thing IM gonna do when i get this phone is test this **** out LOL
[Droid Incredible General] jonnybueno:
I've never ever had any issues with screen response. I tried to duplicate the issue in that video on my own with no success.
[Droid Incredible General] lexluthor:
What halt in production!?
[Droid Incredible General] dnoyeb:
at our office we tried the exact test with 8 incredibles and every single one of them worked fine.
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
I think that happened to me a few times. I figured I was taxing the hell outta the processor with my fast clicks. :P
[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:

[Droid Incredible General] intersysx:
Happens to me when its in the car dock, takes a few tries to get a response.
[Droid Incredible General] Mercutio5:
Interesting stuff. Tested mine on a variety of surfaces right now and it worked fine. I bought mine on launch day FYI.
[Droid Incredible General] topdnbass:
@lexluthor

http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/...t&action=viewPhoneDetail&selectedPhoneId=5269

As you can see it says "due to high demand" they wont ship til 6/28!

Also I went in yesterday and they also said it would be around 3 weeks.

I've called about 5 stores and get the same thing from everybody.

HTC is simply NOT shipping these phones atm.

Shortly after they were made aware of this design flaw.
[Droid Incredible General] Irishpride:
The Inc is by far the most responsive phone that I've ever used, much more so than either the Droid or the Eris. I have also compared it to the N1 and whatever the issue was with that, they definitely fixed it.
[Droid Incredible General] lexluthor:
Not at all true.

http://androidforums.com/htc-incredible/75303-date-you-ordered-received-phone-vs-will-ship-date.html

Phones are indeed shipping out.

So, again, what halt in distribution?

Sure, they are having trouble getting the parts to put together the phone and they are way behind, but I don't think there's any evidence at all that they have halted distribution to fix a major problem.
[Droid Incredible General] topdnbass:
Lex, those forum posters purchased in the month of may.

The same month that this problem was discovered in a good portion of phones.

HTC was notified of this issue in mid to late may.

Since then (according to your own link) nobody was getting phones without a delay of at least a few weeks.

Those who had already purchased phones, still got them, but with a delay.

Those who hadn't had to wait longer (some time in june).

I am pretty certain that they slowed production to make sure that phones which were shipped didn't face such issues.

If it was merely a shortage of AMOLED displays, then answer me this.

How come the evo 4g, nexus one, desire etc are shipping out like mad with no news of shortages?
[Droid Incredible General] contagous:
Mine is only unresponsive in a car dock mounted on window, with no ground...

Only had it like a week, is this something people have sent phones back because of?
[Droid Incredible General] Cole119:
Well the Evo 4G doesn't use an AMOLED display, so it is unaffected. As for the N1 and Desire, my best guess would be that no one is buying the N1 and since the Desire has been out for a while compared to the Incredible, demand is down.
[Droid Incredible General] Solomente:
Both my friend and I got our Incredibles on launch day (he got one at store, I got mine in mail from pre-order). We both have this grounding issue. For example, sitting on the couch with the phone next to me, the phone screen is so unresponsive I can't get past the slide unlock screen to open the phone unless I pick it up. Friend has the exact same problem on his couch.

The phone is still amazing and I don't let this ruin my experience, but the issue isn't a myth.
[Droid Incredible General] contagous:
Exactly, im just wondering if it was bad batch, hence maybe we should swap them out :S
[Droid Incredible General] topdnbass:
You could call HTC, let us know if they're able to fix this..
[Droid Incredible General] lexluthor:
Phones are SHIPPING, that's a fact. There's no "halt in distribution". Supply is obviously lacking, but your theory about it having to do with the screen is just a theory with no real backing behind it at all.

Call HTC, do whatever, try to get confirmation, but until you do, it's really just a guess on your part if they are doing anything at all about this possible issue.
[Droid Incredible General] contagous:
*update*

I just got off the phone with Verizon Rep about the unresponsive screen problem. who didn't know anything about this situation, I made him transfer me to a Verizon Tech after a lot of negotiating.

The Verizon Rep decided to stay on the line with me, and we both spoke to the Verizon Tech about the issue.

After a long explanation on my part, they say its not in there Reported faults so I made Sarah the tech I was talking to go to this forum, and lots of other forums, and search Google for to find information out about this issue.

She found lots of people mentioning they had reported it to Verizon, but it wasn't in the reported faults section.

Therefore she said she noted it in that section, and also forwarded it to HTC as an urgent notice.

She then went on to tell me, that when she dug deeper into their system that she found a couple of cases of where this had happened, and they couldn't find a fix for it so a new phone was shipped.

So it ends up, I have a new phone on its way by Fed-Ex overnight shipping, so it should be here within 2 days. I have not had to pay the $35 restocking fee, and hopefully the new phone won't have the same issue.

Ill update as soon as I get the new phone.

Thanks
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
This problem does not happen to me as much as some of you. Maybe once a week at the most. Although, to change the subject a bit.. I do get the HTC logo when exiting apps or Killing apps sometimes and it hangs up on the loading screen for about 15-20 seconds. Once again, I figure Im taxing the CPU a little. I still love this phone and hope HTC can take down Apple Corp. (aka Cyberdyne) some day :)
[Droid Incredible General] Joe92T:
So ever since i got my incredible ive had no issues whatsoever with anything, then i see this thread and im like hmm ill give it a shot, so i put my phone down on my bed on a stack of pillows and tried it out and sure enough the screen wont move to my fingers touch

Point being appariently my phone has this problem, however ive had it since the day it came out and i havent even noticed anything until i read this thread about it, ive been using it 100% like normal with nothing negative.. i dont see the big deal... how any times do you finger your phone with it not in your hand anyway?

I know i had it laying on my desk at work a few times and it worked fine with just one finger and me not touching it, its just extreme cases where its on a stack of pillows or completely 100% ungrounded that it has problems, however i think thats actually a trait of a Capacitive Touchscreen, my old G1 did that sometimes too
[Droid Incredible General] topdnbass:
Why are you getting so butthurt? I didn't say it was fact.

Did you miss the question mark in the title? lol.

Yes, it is a guess, a theory, nothing more.

I am well aware that it could be false. Happy?

@Contagous

Wow thanks for looking further into it.

It would be nice if HTC fixed this, although they probably wouldn't publicize it to avoid a zillion RMA's.

@Joe

Thanks for trying it out =).

You're right it may not be a problem if you don't know about it.

However, the video with it not working in the car dock for example, is pretty nuts. There's no excuse for that..

Maybe everyone out there doesn't use their phone a certain way, but I guarantee there are people who at one point or another will put their phone in a car dock or on their pillow and use it while in bed.

Or hell maybe even on styrofoam lol..

The point is, that it should work, period.

These are expensive phones, and there are so many good things, so a design flaw like this shouldn't ruin the experience..
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
Well after seeing that video i went and tested mine on a bunch of surfaces. It seems to work fine whether i'm touching the phone or its just laying on the surface. I got mine the day after it was released, i'm guessing this is only affecting certain ones then?
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
I have emailed HTC about this issue and they do aknowledge that this flaw exists and stated that they are currently working on a ROM update to correct this. here is my conversation emails and their reply.

my question:

my screen on my HTC Incredible becomes unresponsive when I put it in my windshield cradle, or sit it on my couch. when I either touch it with one hand or plug it in the screen is fine. obviously when I have it in cradle and unplugged I can't use both hands to use it as it can be fatal while driving. verizon doesn't have this listed as a problem so I am alerting you guys so something can be done. I know I am not the only one that has this problem, any search on the internet will show scores of people with the same issue.

My reply:

I have done that already a few times, and the problem is still there, I know I can call verizon and get another phone shipped to me but I would rather not do that. this is a serious flaw either software or hardware, and if I get another one whats to say that the same problem isnt still there. before I have one sent to me I would like the confirmation that HTC has addressed this issue and all the new phones will not have this flaw. 2010/06/10 22:21:19

[Droid Incredible General] rfarrah:
That doesn't make any sense. Apparently it only happens with SOME phones. How would a ROM fix SOME phones? Sounds like a stock answer to me.
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
software does some very funny things on the same type of devices, I have seen where two identical pieces of hardware have different problems with the same piece of software, just look at the incredible root process, some can get it but others can't no matter how hard they try, that is software related.
[Droid Incredible General] DaytonaZ33:
I am a new HTC Evo owner and I am experiencing this same issue. Screen is unusable until another point of contact is introduced somewhere along the casing of the phone.
[Droid Incredible General] bigd1003:
I did the test on my Incredible and it worked fine... the screen responded to my touch every time...
[Droid Incredible General] R1lover:
There is no halt in production..... I bought one on launch day.. it works great...I bought one on mothers day with a 29th ship date... it showed up on the 27th.... I bought another one on June 1st... it showed up yesterday.

I'm not sure where you are getting your info from... but it's simply false.

I can't re-produce this with either of the three either.

p.s. the evo is sold out at many locations as well...... the nexus one.... well nobody is buying it to start with .... lol
[Droid Incredible General] R1lover:
Also for those having this issue.... how many times is the phone not in your hand? lol I can think of a car dock.... but well you should be driving right?
[Droid Incredible General] jitajt:
there is nothing wrong with the phones (mine anyways) I went to verizon and showed them what it does in the car dock and they sent me a new one. well it wasn't new it came from Texas somewhere with all the same bootloader info as the one I had, hboot 0.77 and the exact same build date and time. well I tried it with the phones next to each other on a pillow and sure enough my old one didn't work, tried the new one and it was working fine, so it has to be my old phone right? wrong! I took my screen protector off my old phone and tried it again for S&Gs and BAM! it worked fine no touch issues at all,I even tried it in my car dock with nothing plugged in and I was able to use one finger and navigate the menus. I thought this has got to be a fluke right? so I put the screen protector on the new phone and what do you know it was unresponsive unless I touched it somewhere. so needless to say I will be getting another screen protector that works. so if you have a screen protector and it is unresponsive try removing it and try again. (if you have a reusable one that is, unless you don't care and want a responsive screen)
[Droid Incredible General] contagous:
My old has nad no screen protector or case and still had the problem, Ive spoke to VZW Tech lvl 3 and they say it has been noted with HTC and there is a problem, but nothing has come of it yet, and no one has spoke about it, my new phone is on its way...
[Droid Incredible General] drawde:
I saw the videos for this a well but I can't seem to get mine not to work.. Is it just specific ones having this issue?
